Chapter 1: The Interviews.
Chapter 1:The Interviews.
Hello my name is Random Question, I'm a reporter for the "Manehattan Times", which is a newspaper company that I work for and I am currently heading to the home of Stardust Nova,a famed monster hunter and powerful magic user that is usually backed up by her partner/friend Spyke the dragon ,hopefully this interview with her goes well,I still have to interview the rest of the "Ultimare Six" for this article I'm working on and make it back to work in one piece...
I make it to Stardust's home within a few minutes( it only took me so long,'cause I took a cab ride there), I had then knocked on the door a couple of times and waited for an answer, sure enough I got one.
"Oi 'old on a second, will ya ?!"a somewhat heavy Hoofstralian accent said.
Eventually the door open and out came the famous monster hunter Stardust Nova.
"Hello my name is Random Question of the Manehattan Times and I'm here to get an interview with you for this article I'm working on,it's about the personalitys and lifestyle of the Ultimare Six."I said.
"Alright, so do ya want to know ?"Stardust asked me.
"Well for starters tell me about yourself,your hobbies,likes and dislikes and such,that way it'll help us both."I said.
"Huh....,not much oi could say 'bout myself,but oi could try,let's see 'ere..."she explains all that she could about herself as I made sure to write down what she's said,when she finished, I thanked her then asked as to where Cottontail lives.
"It's not that far, just a few blocks from 'ere it tis."Stardust said.
"Thanks,I'll go check it out."I said.
"No problem mate,see ya." she says before I left.
I wave goodbye then head over to Cottontail's home, I remembered the last time I had talked to her ( I wasn't working at the time)and shuddered at the memory, hopefully nothing like that ever happens again.
I continued down the street to Cottontail's home,however I accidentally bumped into somepony, which resulted in them dropping a drawing pad.
"Whoops,sorry 'bout that mam, wasn't lookin' where I was going."I said apologetically.
"Oh no, it wasn't your fault,it was more of my own for not paying attention to my surroundings.."The pony said in a soft voice,from that I knew the pony was mare,she had pink coat and mane and had a cutie mark of three word balloons, from those I realized whom this was.
The mare was about to but I stopped her by saying:"Wait a second,aren't you Ink Blot, that famous Cartoonist who makes comics for the Manehattan Times ?"
"Umm...y-yes I am, why do you ask ?"Ink said.
"My name is Random Question and I would like to interview you, I work at the same place you do !"I said.
"Oh..., That's nice...,okay,come with me,my studio's not far"Ink said.
"Oh right...,forgot that you prefer privacy, alright let's go."I said.
As we walked over to Ink's studio,I was suddenly tackled by a yellow blur.
"Rawr !*giggles*,got ya !"it said.
"Gah!"I said. "Get off of me !"
The being who tackled me got off and I was able to see that it was a yellow pegasus mare who had a pink mane and was currently wearing cat ears ,she seemed to have a small fang sticking out of her mouth,when I saw that I knew that this was Cottontail.
"Sorry 'bout that,but you have to admit it was funny,right ?"she said.
"No..."I said flatly.
"Aww, your no fun..., So where are you going ?" Cottontail said.
"T-to my studio..."Ink said.
"K, well see ya Inky !" Cottontail says before she suddenly puts on a bunny hood and then hops away.
"Err...um...what was that about ?"I asked Ink.
"I'm not really sure,it's best not to question it.."she says before pointing at a nearby building"oh we're at my studio."
"Alright !" I said.
"Come on in."Ink says before going inside.
"Sure"I say as I follow her.
When I had went inside, I saw a whole bunch of drawings on the walls.
"Wow this is amazing..."I said.
"Thank you,but didn't you have something to do?"Ink Blot said.
"Oh right the Interview, ok so tell me about yourself,your hobbies,likes and dislikes and such."I said.
"Ok,I'll try..."Ink said
It took Ink Blot a few minutes to tell me about herself, but she finished in almost the same amount of time Stardust Nova took.
"Thank you so much for this Interview, now I have to get toCottontail's home, do you know where that is ?"I said.
"Umm actually yes I do, come I know a shortcut."Ink says before leading me to the back of her studio.
She eventually stopps at a drawing of a door and says" Through here...",before opening it (Somehow!) and stepping inside.
I reluctantly follow inside...,only to wind up right inside Cottontail's home!
"How did you...-"I said before realising that Ink Blot had somehow managed to disappear.
"Never mind.."I muttered to myself.
I didn't even take two steps further into the home before I was tackled yet again by Cottontail.
"Rawr *giggles*,got ya again !"she says, now dressed as a lion.
"Is this gonna be a thing every time we meet ?"I say flatly as she gets off of me.
"Maybe,so...what cha doin' ?"she asked me as she almost instantly puts on her rabbit ear hoodie.
"I need to interview you."I said.
"K, sure I'll tell ya everythin'"she said happily.
I made sure to take down as much notes as possible, it took a little longer with Cottontail than it did with Ink Blot but it was worth it, I then ask her as to where Prism Wing is, she simply says to to outside and look up,I followed her words and then left her home.
Before I was able to go anywhere Cottontail stopped me.
"Hey wait a second !"she said." here I want you to have this."
She then gives me a small hoof knitted doll that looked like a Changeling.
I just now realized that she had somehow saw through my pegasus disguise,needless to say I was shocked.(yes I am a Changeling don't be too surprised..)
"How did you know that I was not a pony"I said in a confused manner.
"Weeeell,I could tell ya, but the author wouldn't like it" she says randomly.
"Wait what ?"I said confused.
"K,Bye"she says before hopping away.
"W-what just happened ?"I had asked myself in my head..
"I wouldn't question it if I were you,it keeps one sane if you don't question the impossible." a cyan pegasus says as she floats down next to me, I noticed that her mane and tail had all the colors of the rainbow in it.
"Your Prism Wing aren't you?"I said.
"Yes I am,Cottontail had told me about you and she had wanted me to see you."Prism Wing said.
"I'm a reporter for the Manehattan Times and I would like to interview you."I said.
"Hmm...,ok I'll tell you what I can."Prism Wing says calmly.
After a few minutes, she was done and I had made sure to write down as much as I could.
"So uhh, do you know where Ivory is?" I asked.
"She's possibly working at the mines at the moment, So it would be best not to bother her now,howeve Sparkling Cider lives just around the corner,so why not go to her instead." Prism Wing said.
"Thanks,I'll go there now,goodbye Prism."I said.
"Farewell Mr. Random Question,till we meet again."Prism says before flying off into the clouds.
After the meeting with Prism Wing, I went to find Sparkling Cider and sure enough,her home was right around the corner from where I currently was,so I went over to it and knocked on the door.
"In a minute Dearie,I'm rather busy at the moment."a mares voice with an upper Manehattan accent said.
I waited a couple minutes and then the door had opened,revealing Sparkling Cider in all of her glory, however she wasn't alone, As next to her was the mare I was originally looking for Ivory.
"Why hello dearie, how are you ?" Sparkling Cider said.
"I'm fine,I'm here to interview the both of you."I said.
"Really now?"Ivory said." Alright we'll do it darlin'."
The two of them each took turns, each interview took about the same amount of time as the other, however they both didn't have much to say about themselves.
"I'd like to thank the both of you for participating in this interview with me."I said.
"Your welcome dearie,oh and do come back later for some of my family's home made apple cider."Sparkling Cider said.
"Well,I gotta get back to the mines, see ya later darlin' "Ivory says before leaving.
I say my goodbyes then head back to my office, on the way I heard somepony say my name.
"Oi,Random Question, 'old up sec will ya!"by that accent I knew that it was Stardust Nova.
"Oh uh hello Stardust, is something wrong ?"I said.
"Yah mate,Cotton said ya dropped t'is" Stardust said.
She then gives me a small hoof knitted doll that looked like a brown pegasus with a black mane and a (?) cutie mark, I realized that it was me, so I put it in my saddle bag.
"Huh I could of sworn...."I had mumbled under my breath.
"What was that mate?"Stardust said.
"Never mind, thanks for getting picking that up for me"I said.
"No problem mate, see ya around." Stardust says before leaving.
I made sure to say goodbye before I hailed a cab and headed back to my office, this has been a very interesting day for me and I really hope that my article on the Ultimare Six gets put in the newspaper.
Author's Note
Random Question is my first Changeling oc and will probably be the last, he was raised by pegasi and got his "cutie mark" and name due to his bad habit of asking too many random questions.
Oh and one more thing, I'm not 100 percent sure if either Ink Blot or Cottontail are able to break the 4th wall, so I had Cottontail do so...

"Crikey gals, look at t'is !"Stardust Nova says as she brings over a copy of the Manehattan Times and shows it to her friends.
"Oooh we're in the newspaper!"Cottontail says happily while hopping in place.
"Yeah, remember that guy,er....Random Question ?"Stardust said.
"Why of course we do Star, what about him?"Sparkling Cider said.
"Well oi just found t'is in the newspaper"Stardust says before showing them the article.
Bios of the Ultimare Six by Random Question
Everypony has always wondered just who the Ultimare Six are,so I Random Question went to interview them,listed here are the bios of the Ultimare Six.
Name:Stardust Nova
Bio: Stardust Nova is a powerful member of Celestia's monster hunting force, she is usually backed up by her partner Spyke the Dragon, she is brash, cocky yet loyal and is a surprisingly accurate magic caster, she is the Element of Magic
Hobbies:her hobbies include monster hunting with Spyke, training and messing with her older brother.
When I had ask her about her likes and dislikes she simply told me, in her words"I don' 'ave any dislikes mate,less ya mean t'em monsters oi fight",never the less my experience with her was really fun.
Next up was Ink Blot, though my meeting with her went well I still feel bad for bumping into her,also before meeting with I had a run in with "The Wild Child" Cottontail who had hopped away after the encounter with Ink Blot.
Name:Ink Blot
Bio:a shut-in cartoonist who's family is well known around the world,she however dislikes any attention brought on to herself and usually stays home or in her studio, she is the Element of Laughter due to her hilarious comics and funny drawings.
Hobbies:drawing, playing her ukulele and petting her pet ferret.
When I asked her about her Likes and dislikes,she told me that she didn't like having any attention brought to her, as for likes, she enjoys being alone at home and drawing cartoons.
After meeting with her she showed me how to get to Cottontail's home through the use of a shortcut,which to this day still confuses me how she got me there so quickly...
The Interview with Cottontail, went more smoothly then I thought.
Name:Cottontail A.K.A "The Wild Child"
Bio:an odd pegasus know for her habit of making hoof nitted stuffed animals,she's also known for dressing up as said animals, she's usually seen with a rabbit eared Hoodie on.
I didn't get a chance to ask her about her Likes and dislikes as she had suddenly gave me a hoof knitted doll that had looked almost like my true form !(I am a Changeling by the way),when I ask had her how she knew she simply said Quote:"Well I could tell ya,but the author wouldn't like it.",I was about to ask what she ment by that but then Prism Wing had floated down nearby and said "it's best that you don't question it, it keeps one sane if they don't question the impossible."
After Prism said that Cottontail simply hopped away.
So I took Prism's words to heart and decided to interview her next.
It went by really smoothly and was rather surprising.
Name:Prism Wing
Bio: Cloudsdale's best flight instructor and Cottontail's best friend, she is also the weather manager and is incredibly smart,she is the Element of Loyalty.
When I had asked her about her hobbies, she told me that she didn't have much time to herself and is usually really busy, After talking with her she showed me where Sparkling Cider lives as Ivory was nowhere near where I was at the moment.
When I got to her home, I saw that Ivory was there and I figured that they were probably talking with one another.
I told them that I wanted to interview them and Sparkling said that they would take turns, so I had let them.
Sparkling Cider had went first.
Name:Sparkling Cider
Bio: an aspiring artist and well known for her apple based products,mostly soaps,shampoo and the like, she also has her own cider brand and is the Element of Honesty.
As for likes and dislikes, she had said that she liked hanging out with Ivory and had disliked how far away she had lived from her.
Ivory went next after Sparkling Cider was done.
Name:Ivory
Bio: a hardworking and generous mare who works in the mines, she and Stardust Nova have a friendly rivalry between one an another and are often seen competing against each other in various sports.
She had told me she had no dislikes and she enjoys spending time with Sparkling Cider.
This end my bios on the Ultimare Six and I hope everyone now at least knows just who these mares are and what they do. ( edited by Random Question)
"Blimey,this is awesome!" Stardust Nova says after read the article.
"I'd say dearie, this is actually rather impressive." Sparkling Cider said.
"Oi neva woulda known that tis guy was a Changelin'"Stardust said.
"I knew,but the author wouldn't like it if I had said anything...."Ink Blot muttered to herself.
"Hey at least we all got to meet him right ?"Cottontail says while currently dressed as a cat.
"Hmm I guess so,however I've always wondered what we would be like if thing were a little different."Prism.
"What do ya mean by that ?"Stardust said.
"Think about it,what if I was more like you Star,or if Cottontail was more like Ink Blot,or even if Ivory was like Sparkling Cider,would things be different or will everything be the same ?"Prism Wing said.
"Meh,Oi don't know much 'bout that,but it t'would be really weird."Stardust said.
"Yeah I guess your right Star, that would be weird."Prism says as she puts the newspaper away, unaware that Ink Blot was looking at her most recent drawing of a more outgoing version of herself called Pinkie Pi.
It showed the six of them in an alternate universe where their personality's had swapped and they were all gathered in room and were talking to one another,her counterpart bouncing around and having fun,she then suddenly stares at the reader and then winks.
