Fallout: Equestria Swift Tale

Chapter Seven: Griffons and Answers.

"You okay?"

We just returned to new appleoosa dragging the fucking train with us back up the hill. The bird, The Cowpony, And the Monster. The weather changed back to calm as the alicorns changing it had expired. After we managed to unload the survivors and the dead off the train and unhitched ourselves as a crowd surrounded us. I wasn't in the mood to talk to them as "No Pony" and Calamity went and talked to them.

"Damn it why does everyone want to kill me?"

I sighed as I walked out from the crowd that surrounded us. Can't a stallion take a breather with out being shot, hunted, forced to breed and other shit. I walked back to the shop and walked upstairs to take a bath and started to undress when suddenly stardust tackled me casing us both to fall into the tub. Stardust giggled and kissed my cheek and hugged me tightly.

"Oh mister swift I heard everything. I am glad you are okay!"

"Easy there Stardust daddy isn't going anywhere."

She lay on my chest purring and nuzzling into the fluff as I relaxed in whatever water was left in the tub as it dripped down stairs. "No pony" fluttered in from the roof hatch and landed on the bed in her talon was the Sarah's blue journal. She seemed like she didn't know what to do after what happened.

"Uh...so Mister Swift I am sure you want to be alone but I thought you might want to ask me thous questions and stuff...you know.."

I seemed annoyed but that was why we where here in town. To finally get answers to the questions I have about everything. About why she has my dead marefirend's diary, why raiders wanted to kill me, why I am still alive. "No pony" took a deep breath and began to speak softly.

"I was hired to find you...I don't know who but they payed me up front. They told me where you where and I sent the raiders there to scout it out...not to kill you."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The raiders said they wanted to kill me then "No pony" wanted to kill me...this was a bit much.

"You know how raiders are...not the best cheep labor but it works. One of them tried to get the jump on me so I ripped him to shreds with my talons." She continued.

"When I heard that you ate them I didn't know what to think so I was going to kill you no mater what. But after finding out it was you from the book...and you showed your kindness...I froze...I didn't know what to do..."

"well that explains somethings...so you where hired anonymously...a another mystery and quest." I said as stardust washed my head and played in the suds.

"Yes...It was when I dug up her grave and put the puzzle together that...well...this might sound crazy but..."

"But what?"

"What if...now don't have a panic attack...but what if it was...Sarah?" She said quickly as she braised her self for a insult or something.

"You think...that Sarah is alive? Hired you to find me, and maybe is watching us at this very moment like some guardian angel?" I said sternly enough that Stardust got out of the tub and walked off.

"I am not saying that to be rude but yes, thats my theory mister ice-cube." She said as she tried to lighten the mood.

I thought about it. Maybe there was more to bond magic then I thought. It was a theory that didn't seem to crazy to me from what this new world had to offer. Maybe she was a ghoul and was trying to find me though bond magic. (I would still love her even if her face was busted and her skin was peeling off) This was something I could use to give me the hope I needed to keep me calm, even if it was false hope there could be against all odds in hell that Sarah could have been reborn somehow. (I should sleep on it).

I snapped out of it and started to wash up and dry off as I put everything away. Then I got on the bed and rested as "No pony" laid beside me. Her feathers puffed up as her lions tail batted its self around. She tucked Sarah's book under my pillow and smiled as she shut her eyes. I didn't mind if she was sleeping next to me it just felt kind of natural as my eyes felt droopy. For once I could maybe have a nice full night of rest surrounded by my new family.

It felt so peaceful...

The next morning I was being cuddled and snuggled as the two girls were resting on me like some sort of living blanket. Blushing I slowly made my way out of hooves and talons as I got into my jump suit. It was nice to be living here with ditzy doo rent free as long as I helped her out with the choirs and other tasks she needed. She wasn't there perhaps she was out and about doing "ghoul things". Having no other things to really do today I decided to do my pip-buck log while I had the chance.

"This is...why should I keep track of these logs. I can just label it later. Right now I have a bomb to drop. So after coming to this town yada yada...wait why am talking like this? Skipping details and stuff to remember. Oh my...have I finally become safe? One thing I have learned in the war is to always be on your guard...No mater what. Anyway off topic So after settling down in town I was called to action because other alicorns came looking for me. Turns out I am a sex magnet and with that visor on I freeze up and act like a sex robot. Anyway they killed some ponies and me, cowpony and birdie killed them and came home. Okay future swift here is what I have learned. "No pony" thinks Sarah could be alive...crazy right? Sarah...if you find this pip-buck on my dead body...I love you dear. I am sorry I couldn't save you on that day. Now uh what was a I talking about. Never-mind swift out."

Damn I am getting too comfortable.

[...I End it there. No more for a long time.]
