Wow” said 8-bit while carrying his heavy bag of special ”things” in his two hooves. “Okay lets see apartment, apartment...” He repeated himself while trying to open “map of ponyville for dummies”. Well he was sure as hay he was no dummy he always was at school it was A after A after A ”Aha found one” he said pointing at the map trying to forget those horrible moments in highschool. Few minutes later “Ok found it” he said looking up the big blue sign that said “Hoofing it” 8-bit entered the building which and ordered a room. After entering his room he opened his heavy bag and out came wifi, a ps3,controllers , books and a coffee machine. “Ok lets set this place up” he said determined. “Ok” he said pulling out a check list ”Find Ponyville. Check. Set up apartment. Check. Find job. Hmm I saw a barn that was hiring. Maybe Ill go there.” “Hmm I always wanted to farm. I wonder what will it be like-" He stopped cold. What made him stop was A beautiful sight. The pony in front of him was gorgeous white coat and purple mane. "Ay, mamacita que bonita" Then she turned around and made eye contact with each other. 8-bit blushed then she let out a small giggle. " What is she laughing at?" he thought,then he felt something erect in his body " Mierda, NOT NOW" he thought to himself. He looked between his legs but he saw nothing "Huh then why did i feel something erect" He looked at his back his two wings were fully erect "Oh great" when he turned his glance back to the white unicorn. She was closer now. "Hello there, darling, my name is Rarity whats yours?" she said. "My n-name's 8-bit, nice to meet you Rarity" he said nervous as hay. "Do tell 8-bit whats your business here in Ponyville" "I just settled here, I'm looking for a job at the umm, the nearest barn" "OH you mean Applejack's barn, sure, I can take you there if you'd like" "Really? Well thank you, senori- I mean,Rarity" A few minutes later. " Here it is Sweet Apple Acres" she said while arranging her hair" "U-umm thanks,you sure she wont mind if I join." "Oh hush now darling she always loves visitors" " O-ok" As they reach the front door 8-bit quickly grabs the front door and says "Lady's first." "Oh, such a gentleman" she said passing through the door."Come now let me introduce you to my friends" As they entered the kitchen 8-bit could smell the apple pies.His mouth was watering, he hasn't tated does since he was a filly. "Hey there girls,look, I found someone new in Ponyville, Come 8-bit." "Hey" He said nervous as buck again. "8-bit this is Rainbow Dash" "Hey dude" Rainbow Dash said "And those are Twilight, Applejack,Pinkie Pie,and Flutershy." "Hi" they all said in unison. "Oh And those are the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Applebloom,Scootaloo,and Sweetie Bell. When 8-bit saw Sweetie Bell it took all his energy not too yell "SHES SO CUTE SHE LOOK LIKE A MARSHMALLOW" When he cleared his train a though he remembered his reason to be here "So uh, Applejack are you still hiring new ponies to help you around the farm" he said. "Sure as hay I am" " Well I'm looking for a job so i can earn bits to pay off my rent" "Well you looked in the right farm sugarcube" Applejack said " But you gotta tell us how you got that cutie mark" "Yeah it looks pretty rare ive never seen that before" Piped up Twilight. "Yeah, tell us!!!" came Pinkiepie out of nowhere. "Don't worry darling she does that,now tell us how you got it" "Ok, but i need an apple pie and a drink" "Vodka or Whiskey" said Applejack "Uh, Water would be nice" "Ok, some water... 'ere ya go SugarCube" "And That's how i got my cutie mark" 8-bit said finishing his apple pie "Dang those are some good apple pies." "WOOOOW" They all said in amusement. 8-bit was surprised none of them make fun of him for his lame cutie mark. "So,wait you scored 1234567898 on Galatia" said Pinkiepie "Wow, Maybe you could teach me how to play we could be the bestest-super duper friends ever" "Uh sure I've never had real friends before" Everypony gasped.

"Then we'll be your friends" Said Rainbow Dash "Hay, maybe we'll call ourselves the Mane 6 and a stallion" "Well ok if that's Ok with you guys" 8-bit said joy filling up his soul. "Sure" they all agreed. "Ok 8-bit back to your apartment you got a busy day tomorrow" "Kay see you girls later" "WAIT" said Twi And Rarity. "Maybe we could accompany you." 8-bit's heart stopped. "U-uh o-ok" "Great" said Rarity " Lets stop by my placed first" After walking for a bit... "Wow," said 8-bit " Que belleza" "What?" Twi and Rarity said. "O-o-oh uh nothing its the moon, the moons very pretty" he said nervously Twi and Rarity smiled "Yeah, the moon sure is pretty" said Rarity. But 8-bit wasn't listening he was staring at Rarity's flank. A few dirty fantasies later... BAM!! 8-bit walked into Rarity's flank. "Ow!!" screamed Rarity. 8-bit snapped back to reality. " Oh Celestia sorry,sorry,sorry,sorry,sorry,sorry, sorry" he repeated. "That's ok I'm sure it was and accident." said Rarity "Well this is me guys seeya" "Bye" Twi and 8-bit said.

"ROGER" 8-bit said "TRUCK, GRINCH COVER HIM" "ROG' BOSS" "Metal zero one Airforce 1 is ready to roll on your mark" "COPY 8-BIT MARK THOSE SONS OF BITCHES" "GOT IT" "AIRFOCE 1 sending you the coordinates now!!" "COPY Metal Zero One 30 seconds DANGER CLOSE. OUT." "BOSS WE AINT GONNA LAST THAT LONG." said Grinch with fear in his voice. "10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1." Said 8-bit silently BOOOOM.BAAAM.CRACK. "WOOOOOOOOOO" screamed Grinch with joy in his voice. "See," Said 8-bit " I told you we'd mak-" At that same moment a sniper shot was heard and 8-bit fell to the ground with an " ACK MOTHERFU- SOME PONY SNIPED FRIGGIN SON OF A BITCH." "I GOT HIM" Said Truck as friendly Ospreys landed around them. "Come on kid stay with me" Said Sandman putting pressure on 8-bits wound. "SOMEPONY GET A MEDIC" It all went white for 8-bit He woke up. "Dam just when it was getting cool" 8-bit said. " WHAT TIME IS IT" He looked at the clock 5:00 a.m. " Ok,Ok hour an a half still got time" "Ok lets make some grub." He said with a chuckle. He put his Hay O's in a bowl and started munching. What he saw made him shiver. A note left on the table." Oh GREAT FIRST NIGHT AND SOMEONE BROKE INTO MY APARTMENT" He grabbed the note and read it: "Dear 8-bit, Me and Pinkie organized a party for you tonight so I wrote you this letter to advise you to keep your cool and good luck signed your bestest friend Twilight." "OK, but this doesn't explain this note that appeared here.” 8-bit decided to just leave it and went to work. Chapter 2”Not like that. 'ere let me help ya” said Applejack taking the hoe from 8-bit's hooves. ”Im sorry Applejack,” apologized 8-bit. ” it's that I have alot in my mind today y'know with the party and other stuff.” ”Tell ya what I'll let you finish at midday for to day if you tell me what's wrong” ”Hmm, ok.” 8-bit inhales. ”I like one of your friends” He exhaled. ”Aww shucks that's it? C'mon tell me who it is.” She said happily ”Is it Fluttershy... No wait, Rainbow Dash?” ”No and No it's uhh Rarity” Said 8-bit. Applejack looked at him in amazement.”Yee-haw!! It's 'bout time that Ms.Priss gets herself a nice young stallion like yerself” 8-bit blushed.”Thank you AJ but I should get farmin' I really want to earn those bits and you cutting my first day till midday is enough.” 8-bit said taking the hoe from AJ's hooves. ”'Kay you keep doin' watcher doin' and I'll prepare lunch so you can prepare for the party, Deal?” 8-bit nodded. He could smell the apple pies from here. Midday. YuMmmmmm,” moaned 8-bit tasting the last bite of his apple pie.” I never get tired of this taste AJ what do you put in these?” ”Can't tell ya, sugarcube , old family recipe but im glad you like it” said Applejack smiling. ” Shame... well seeya,” said 8bit putting his cowboy hat on (that Granny Smith created in a blink of an eye).” Tell Granny I said thanks for the hat.” He whispered because she was taking a nap. ”No problem, sugarcube, I'll tell her now you gotta skit outta here and prepare for tonight” ”Don't worry I will.” He said closing the door. Just as he was going to see Twilight about the note he found in the kitchen a note appeared out of nowhere. 8-bit shrieked. He cursed something in spanish just as he opened the letter. 8-bit beggan too read in his mind. ”Dear 8-bit, I was so exited about what you told me yesterday that I forgot to tell you at what hour the party was on, silly me. The party is at Sugarcube Corner at 9:30. Ok, got that? Good se you there.” Then he slamed into somepony hard.It was Rarity. ” Ra-Rarity are you Ok? Im sorry I was reading something” said 8-bit. ” Oh thats ok , darling, I was lost thinking... In something...” They both made eye contact. ” Ay, Celestia, ayudame” thought 8-bit in spanish. ” So uh where were you goin 8?” Said Rarity blushing like a rose. ”Umm to Twilight's for a sec I need to talk to her.” ”Oh Ok , darling, I'll see you tonight.” Said Rarity leaving and blushing even more. ” Y-yeah bye.” He said dumbstruck. ” And nice hat!!!!” He heard her yell. He grinned. Twilght's house 2:00 p.m. ” Twi!!!” 8-bit yelled ” I need to talk to you” He heard the door unlock. ”Twi did y-” He stopped cold and when he saw a dragon in front of him. Now anyother pony that hasn't ever heard a dragon and wasn't a gamer would of just screamed but 8-bit wasn't one of those ponies. He stood firmly and yelled the following words: ”FUS RO DAH” Spike was unamused. ”Umm hi, Need something?” ” Oh...umm, I'm here to see Twilight” said 8-bit. ” She's busy studying, by the way, my name is Spike.”said Spike letting 8-bit in. ” Hey while she finishes can you help me with this game, I heard you play video games” ”Uh sure why not, I could use something to clear my mind.” Thirty minutes later. ”...so you just throw the monkey while doing a few loops around the stage and they'll follow it, simple as pie.” ” Wow than-” he was cut by Twilight's voice. ” 8-bit you can come up now!” ” How did she know I was-” Spike just shrugged. ” Hey Twi I wanted to talk about the note you send me.” Said 8-bit coming up the stairs. ” Yeah it was kind of rude not to tell you but Spike can burn the notes and they magically get send to the pony I want them sent to.” Twilight tried to explain. ”It's complicated, trust me.” ” Yeah well that wasn't the only reason I went up here.” Said 8-bit with a big awkward grin. ” I came here for some advice on Rarity.” ”Well thats easy just be your self she loves that trust me. Oh and bring the hat.” She said while taking out a book from the shelve next to her. ” Oh and read this” she said handing him the book. ” How to kiss a mare or a stallion? But you just told me to be myself.” ” I know, its that I want you to have a good time with her tonight.” ” Don't worry I will.” He said reassuring her. ” Ok. Oh I almost forgot, Fluttershy wanted to see you, she said she needed help with a few of her pets.” ” I'll go see her, see you tonight” he said ” Yeah, see ya” she said sioer exited. And with that 8-bit left for Fluttershy's house. 3:45 Fluttershy's front door. “Here drink this!” Fluttershy said as she handed a bottle to 8-bit, and she flew away. ” Umm, ok.” He said looking at the bottle. “Well bottoms up.” Unknown time. Unknown location. “SUPRISE!!!” Many voices said at once. 8-bit woke up, startled, and assumed a karate pose. “What in the hay is this” he screamed. “Its your welcoming party, silly” said Pinkie Pie “Ohhh... Wait, you ponynapped me!?” “Yep!” She said with a big grin. “Ok then, lets get this party started!” “Wooohooo!” Everypony screamed. A few hours later. 8-bit sat alone in a table looking at his reflection in his punch. “What a night.” He wasn't lying he did have an awesome night. He had a rap battle with Spike, he got drunk and sang “I Gotta Feeling”, and best of all he danced with Rarity. “Yeah well, too bad I couldn't tell Rarity what my feelings for her.” “Couldn't tell me what, dear?” Said Rarity while she sat in front of him. 8-bit snapped back to reality. “How long have she been sitting there...” He thought to himself. “Wait, this may be my chance to tell her how I feel about her!” He turned to her. “Rarity, I need to tell you something.” He steeled himself. “I lov-” Rarity put her hoof in his lips. “You don't need to tell me anything,” she said. “I love you too, and yes I want to be your marefriend.” She told him a s they shared a nuzzle.“ I'll accompany you to your apartment for a little suprise, but you gotta help me and the girls clean this place up, ok?” “O-o-ok.” He smiled. “Now,darling, help me with this table.” She said as she grabbed her end of the table. “Ok.” He said as he took his punch and drank it down in one big gulp. 8-bit's apartment 12:37 a.m. “So, you ready?” Said Rarity kissing him. “Umm, Yeah.” he said nervously. Rarity reached down to 8-bit's lower regions and grabbed his member. “Wow, how big is this?” “13 inches.” He said blushing. She let out a small giggle. “Lets get started.” She said as she stroked his thick cock. 8-bit moaned with pleasure as Rarity sped up her stroking speed. Rarity slowed down a bit and started licking his member. “Wow, Rarity, were did you learn to do that?”. Rarity stopped licking but didn't stop stroking.“Magazines. If you think this is fun wait until you feel this.” She said as she began to suck on his cock. A tsunami of pleasure hit him. “This is so much better than clopping.” He thought. She added more pleasure by stroking faster and sucking harder. “Rarity if you keep that up I'm gonna...” His words faded as he came. His whole body twitched as he shot his hot ooze in to Rarity's mouth. Rarity didn't let a single drop spill from her mouth. “Well that was fun,” said Rarity cuddling next to him. “but next time, it's your turn.” “Ok.” He said as he hugged her closer. “Hey, where is your sister? I didn't see her at the party.” “Oh, she's taking care Opal, my cat.” She said. “We should get some sleep.” She said as she closed her eyes. “Yeah...” He said. Something felt wrong inside of 8-bit, like if something bad was going to happen to him and somepony else. 2:31 a.m. 8-bit's Apartment 8-bit lay awake in his bed with the same feeling he got earlier but only weaker. “Maybe what'll happen won't be so ba-” Before he could finish, Twilight appeared out of nowhere. “What in the hay?!” Screamed 8-bit. All the commotion woke up Rarity. “Twi, darling, what are you doing here?” She said getting up from 8-bit's bed. “No time to explain, grab my hooves. NOW!” They both did as fast as they could. “Twi, what's wrong, why do you look worried?” Asked Rarity. “Shhh, I'm trying to concentrate!” Rarity shut up, and then they disappeared. They then reappeared outside Rarity's home. Rarity dropped to her knees in shock and 8-bit's mouth hanged open. Rarity's house was in flames.

Chapter 4"...and there we go." Said the doctor removing the last of the bandages on my face. "Yep," I thought when I looked in the mirror. "just like him." "Just like who?" "Uh, no one. Well doctor, thanks for patching me up." I said standing up and going for a hoofshake "My pleasure, a friend of yours stopped by earlier to pick up your stuff said her name was Rarity." He said shaking my hoof. "Is she still there?" I said going out the door. "Yep, she said she had something special to ask you." "Ok, thanks again doc." "No problem." I pressed the button for the elevator. I waited. And waited. And waited."Must be out of order. Looks like i have to take the stairs. In what level am I?" My jaw hanged open as I saw the level I was in. "Level 29? How in the hay am I goin-" I then facehoofed myself for not remembering that i had wings. Lobby. "8-bit, over here!" I turned to the sound of the voice. It was Rarity. She looked so beautiful. "Beauty sleep does wonders to you, doesn't it?" "It sure does." She said as she put her arms around me and started kissing me. "So, how do you feel?" "Like if I have been covered in bandages for a month." We both giggled at my stupid answer." So the doctor said you had something special to say to me." "Oh...um that..." She looked nervous. "I was wondering if you'd like to move in with me?" She winced as I was gonna say no, how am I going to say no to that answer. "Yes, Rarity I would like to move in with you." "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you." She said as she hugged me. "C'mon lets go to my... I mean our home" She said holding my hoof. Rarity's Boutique After 8-bit went to his apartment to pick some stuff up. "Okay, I'm done setting this up." I said as I finished plugging in the PS3. "Oh, 8-bit can you call Sweetie down, I'm finishing lunch." Said Rarity as she dumped the noodles into the boiling pot. "Ok." I said as I climbed up the stairs. As I reached her room I could hear the makeshift explosions and car sounds. *KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK* I learned to knock when I was a filly because I walked in my parents "doing it". I pushed that memory out of my mind. "Yo, sport, came here to tell ya dinners almost done." "Ok, Uncle 8-bit, gimme a sec." She said as she put the dolls down and went beside me. As we went down the stairs I could smell the spaghetti from here. "This can't be spaghetti, this smells too heavenly to be even food." I complimented. "Oh stop it you." She said blushing. "It's shtrue her shpagettis are aweshome!" Sweetie said with her mouth full. "Don't eat with your mouth full, Sweetie." Sweetie said OK and gulped the food. *KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK* "Rarity, It's Twilight, I have special news from Celestia." "8-bit could you let Twilight in?" "Sure." I said as I got up and cleaned the smudge of sauce in my lips with a napkin. I opened the door and there appeared Twilight reading one of the seven letters that levitated off the ground. "Hi, Twi." I said. She looked up and shrieked. "Oh my Celestia, 8-bit don't do that again" She said breathing in some air. "Anyway how are you feeling?" "Good, uh, come in." I said to her as I stepped aside. "Thanks." She said as she entered the house. "Twilight, darling, how are you?" Rarity said. "I'm fine but look at these invitation from Celestia." Twilight said as she gave Rarity her invitation. "This one is for you 8-bit." I opened the letter and this it what it said: Dear 8-bit, I heard that you saved a little filly from certain death, but received a taste of Death yourself. Those actions don't go unnoticed and unrewarded. This letter is an invitation to a royal ball at Canterlot. A carriage will pick all of you at 8:00 to take you here. Signed, Princess Celestia I couldn't believe my eyes. Celestia... THE Celestia invited me to a royal ball. Twilight and Rarity shrieked in happiness. "We'er going to a royal ball!!!" They both screamed. "Oh, I must get ready." Rarity said. "I'll go tell the others!" Twilight said sprinting out the door. "Oh my gosh. Come on 8-bit i got a little surprise for you." She said as she closed a drawer and opened another taking out a tuxedo with a rose and a... fedora. Damn i love those hats. "Here try this on.” she said giving me the clothes and hat. "Now all I need are my sunglasses." I said looking in my bag and putting the sunglasses on the fedora. "Hey big sis, can I come?" said Sweetie with a dress her size. "Pweaze?" She said puppy eyed. "No, that's going past your bedtime." Rarity said. "Oh, come on Rarity let her come." I said "Pweaze?" I said doing the same face as Sweetie. Rarity didn't last 5 seconds. " YAY!!!" Me and Sweetie screamed. 7:30P.M., Rarity's Boutique. "Ok, I'm ready." I said putting on my Fedora that had a White feather on the left side." Come on, Sweetie lets play Little Big Planet while Rarity finishes." "Ok!" She said as she went behind me. 25 minutes later... "Hey, Rarity, the carriage arrives in five minutes." I said. "I'm coming!" She said. "Sweetie turn the system off." I said as I walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water. "Ok." she said turning the ps3 off. I filled the glass with water. "Ah, water what would I do with out you." I thought drinking it. "OK I'm ready." Called Rarity. I came out the kitchen and when I saw her my jaw dropped to the ground. She was dressed in a sparkly purple dress and if i was correct a pair of stockings with a image of a rose. "Do you like it?" She asked. "Like it? I love it." I said. "Hey guys the carriage arrived!" Called Sweetie. I opened the door and let Sweetie and Rarity out first. As we climbed in the carriage everyone stopped chatting to greet us. Applejack had a cream colored dress. Rainbow had a blue short dress. Twilight was dressed like a school teacher at a school ball. Fluttershy had an impressive one the end of the dress reached her just above the hooves and was made of flowers and leaves. And Pinkie well... Pinkie's was too pink to describe. Half way to Canterlot they started to ask me questions. "So how does it feel to have scars?" Rainbow asked. "Well, it feels a little painful sometimes but not nothing I can't handle." "Can you see from the left eye?" Asked Applejack pointing at my milky white left eye. "No, I asked the doctor an that eye is dead i can only move it around, see?" I said as i moved it around. "Can I touch it?" Asked Fluttershy. "Uh, sure just be careful." I told her. "Of course." She said as she touched it. "Um, Excuse me," a guard said. "But we have arrived." I peeked outside and I saw a majestic palace, beyond mortal description. Inside were a few people dancing and such. "Come on lets go inside." Said Twilight. As we entered we were greeted by almost everyone. "Lets go see princess Celestia." Said Twilight. "My little ponies, how are you?" said Celestia behind us. "Oh, Celestia there you are we were just going to look for you. We are fine thank you." Celestia glanced at me. I started to get nervous. "Um, he-he-he-hello Princess" I stuttered as I bowed down. "Rise." I obliged. "You're 8-bit right?" "Y-y-y-yes." "Then enjoy your self, you deserve it." she said as she pointed at my scars. "Ok." And with that she left to greet the other guests. "*sigh* I've never been this nervous." "Don't worry it's your first time meeting royalty." Said Rarity caressing my cheek. "Your right. Now lets see if they have champagne." A few hours later. "Ok, 8-bit come on just tell her you wanna sing a song to your love life." I said to myself as I approached the singer. "Um, Excused me," The gray unicorn turned around. "Yeah I would like to Sing a song." "Yeah sure." "Ok, I'll sing the first few lines and you take over after the instrumental break, Ok?" "Yeah, but what do you want to sing?" I whispered the songs name in her ear. "Ooh that's a classic sure just let me tell the band, you just make a presentation." She said as she went back stage. "Ok lets do this." I said as i made it to the microphone. "*ahem*" Loud feedback. "Well that caught everyone's attention." The room burst into laughter " Well I just want to thank princess Celestia for throwing this great Ball." Everyone agreed. "Well I came up here to say, I'm going to sing a song to a specific white unicorn, that i fell in love the first time I saw her, her name's Rarity and this song is for you." As I finished A few ponies had appeared behind me with instruments in hoof. "We ready?" I said away from the mic. They nodded. "Ok, here goes nothin." As the saxophone started playing I took a deep breath and: "Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms would hold I heard somebody whisper, "please adore me" And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own (instrumental break) As the gray pony continued Rarity waited for me on the dance floor. We assumed a slow dance position and danced. "I didn't know you sing." She said. "I don't, I got lucky." I said. As we danced more people joined. "Please adore me" she whispered to me. As the song finished I held her close and said "I already am." END OF CHAPTER Chapter 5Four months later I groaned as I got up for my bed. I walked over to Sweeties' room to check if the 4 fillies were still asleep. I peeked inside and they were. “Ok lets prepare breakfast.” I said walking down the stairs. Rarity was away with her friends at a two month cruise and I'm taking care of Sweetie, Scootaloo, Applebloom and this new kid named Squeak. I heard a door open and it was one of Sweetie Belle's friends that had woken up. “Hey there, Mr. 8!” Said Squeak with sleepiness in his voice. His coat was brown and he had a small mohawk which the tips were green and the rest black and his eyes were colored bright green. “Watcha cooking?” He said as he took a seat. “Scrambled eggs and hay.” I said scrambling the eggs. “Your up awfully early Squeak, it's...” I looked at the clock. “5:35.” “Scoots was snoring and she woke me up.” He said. “Say, 8-bit, how did you get those scars?” He asked. Damn, I hate it when ponies ask me that, they put the blame on the cat and not on the fire. “Well before I tell you, you must promise me you will not put the blame on the cat.” He held up a hoof. “I promise on behalf of the cutie mark crusaders that I will not put the blame on the cat.” “Ooookay. Well there was a fire here and...” I told him the story of how I got my scars. “...and that's how I got them.” “Ow sounds painfull.” “Oh trust me it was.” “Good morning, uncle 8-bit.” Said Sweetie Belle coming down the stairs with the rest of her friend behind her. “Smells delicious.”she said as she sat at the table. “Yeah mister smells like Celestia's chef has nothing on you.” Complimented Scootaloo as she sat next to Sweetie. “Yeah it smells better than my sister's apple pies.” Complimented Applebloom siting next to Squeak. “LIES” I wanted to yell. I winked at Squeak and mouthed “your getting the bigger plate.” “Compliment all you want, girls, Squeak is still getting the bigger plate.” I said to her and her friends. They all groaned except Squeak who whooped like a champion. I grabbed five plates, two big ones for me and Squeak and three medium sized ones for the rest. “Here you go guys, Bon Appetie.” I said giving every one their plates. “So I was thinking want to go to the park today?” Everyone looked at me like if I just offered them the key to the town. “YES!!” They screamed. “Ok well get ready at 12:00 p.m. and leave thirty minutes later, deal?” “Yeah!” They screamed again. 12:35p.m., Ponyville streets “And I was like, wow, and you were like am I right?” Said Scootaloo. She was talking about she could have gotten her brave cutie mark if she- *oooff* I bump into somepony hard. “Watch it freak.” Said a big strong voice. I looked up and there before was a huge earth pony looking down on me. I felt my left eye burning, why was it doing that. “I said, watch it freak.” He repeated only more menacingly. “Er, s-s-s-sorry, Butch.” I knew his name because we met in a super market when he tried steal the eggs I was about to buy. “Yeah you better.” He said as he passed me kicking dirt up so it would land on me. “Pfft, Flankhole.” I whispered so the kids wouldn't hear me. I got up dusted myself of and continued to the park. The next 30 minutes were followed by rants from Scootaloo being about why I didn't kick his flank. I told her that fighting would land me in the hospital again. “Ok were here.” I said marveling the park. We set a blanket on the ground and put the picknick basket on top. “Come back at 2 o' clock for lunch. Got it?” They nodded and started playing tag. I pulled out my glasses and the book Narnia and started reading. “Uncle 8-bit did you pack my frisbee?” “In my bag.” I said my eyes still glued to the adventure. “Ok thanks.” She took off. I put all my senses back at the story. Lions, witches and a magical wardrobe to a magical place, what else could you ask for? After a while of reading I decided to stop and sketch the environment a bit. “Uncle 8-bit!” Cried Sweetie with her friends looking sad behind her. “What happened?” I said with a worried face. “Diamont Tiara and Silver Spoon stole our frisbee.” She cried on my shoulder. “Oh those two snobs stole your frisbee I prepared for this.” I said taking out a few bits. “Your gonna pay them?!” They looked shocked. “Um no, now where's Twist?” I said. “She's over there, but what does...” Before Sweetie finished I was already next to Twist who was playing with insects. “Hey Twist.” I greeted her with a goofy smile. “Hi there mithter 8-bit,what brings you here?” She said. “Well I was wondering, how much do you hate DT and SS??” “I hate them so much I want to prank them.” She said looking angry. I kneeled next to her and put 5 bits down. “You want me to burn them?!” She said surprised. “NO! Not that, I want you to...” I explained her the plan. “Oh thith. Will. Be. Awethome.” She said rubbing her hooves together. “Excuse me ladies,” I said to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. “I believe you have one of Sweetie Bells' frisbees would you mind giving it back.” They started laughing. I motioned to Twist who was standing a few from their picknick basket to start. She crept to the basket and dumped an entire bottle of cockroaches in the basket. “Oh that's rich mister but whatever lands on this blanket is mine.” Said Diamond. “Oh really then you must love cockroaches.” I said with a grin. “What cock- Oh my Celestia, Diamond run save yourself!!” Said Silver Spoon as she saw a little cockroach next to her. They both ran away screaming “Daddy, daddy help me!!”. Me and Twist started to laugh. ”Hahahahaha*snort* wow mister that wath awethome.” She said pucking up the cockroaches. “Hey Twist if you want you could hang out with us.” I said. “Oh thankth mithter but my mom ith probably wondering were I am tho bye.” She said waving at me. I picked up the frisbee and went back to Sweetie Belle and the others. “Hey guys I got your frisbee back!” “Yay!” They said with their moth full of food. “You guys started to eat without me how could you?” I said sitting next to them. “Don't worry mister 8-bit we saved some for you.” Said Squeak handing me a plate. “So what did you do to SS and DT?” He asked bouncing.” I told them what me and Twist did. “They deserved it.” Said Applebloom. “Now, now, Applebloom you don't go around wishing bad to people.” I explained. “Now lets rest for a while so you don't feel like puking.” I said as I lied down on the blanket. I pulled out my sketch pad and started drawing the scenery. After while things calmed down a bit the fillies were playing truth or there the birds were chirping a- WHOMP “Ow damn that hurt.” I said, I looked around to see what hit me, it was a football. “Uncle 8-bit are you ok?” Asked Sweetie Belle as she stood next to me. “Hey freakshow give me my ball back!” I turned around and saw Butch yelling at me. That burning sensation I felt earlier came back only a little bit weaker. I came to were Butch was and gave him his ball back. “Thanks freak why don't you go back to your little blank flank friends.” He said. The burning sensation in my eye grew.even stronger. Every inch of my body wanted to beat him to death right here but I hold my ground. I turned around and as I was leaving I heard this: “Why are you so mean to uncle 8-bit?!” I turned and saw Sweetie Belle confronting Butch. “Hey look another freak,” he said pointing his hoof at her scarred cheek. “go back to the ring leader or I'll hurt you.” He said pointing at me. She gave him raspberries. As Butch lifted his hoof to hit her I felt as if timed slowed down. “Well do something.” I said to myself. I sprinted and grabbed Butch's shirt by the collar. The fire I felt in my left eye was full on but it felt good, really good. “Don't you lay a hoof on her.” I said through gritted teeth. “Your a useless son of a bitch you know that?” He struggled but it was in vain. “If I catch you offending her or her friend like calling them blank flank I will personally beat you to a pulp. Got it?” I let go of him. He was scared crapless, don't know why though. As I turned to Sweetie Belle the fire in my left eye quickly died down. She looked scared as if she just saw a monster. “I'm sorry you had to see that, sport.” I said as I hugged her. She broke down to tears. “Hey, hey don't cry nothing happened to you, why you crying?” “Thank you*sniff* for not letting him*sniff* hurt me.” She mumbled in tears. “Shh,shh don't worry, don't worry, want to go home?” She nodded. “Ok well go home just let me clean everything up, ok?” She nodded again. “Hey kiddos were going home.” I called to the others. “What in the hay happened?” Said Applebloom. “She's fine but I had to get really rough with a pony before he hurt her.” I explained. “Put everything in the basket and lets go.” Rarity's Boutique, 9:00p.m. I opened my eyes to see Sweetie standing in the door. “Hey what happened, sport, Scootaloo snoring again.” She shook her head. “Nightmares.” She said. “Can I sleep with you?” I made room for both of us and started to caress her hair. “Hey, my mom used to sing me a song that always made the nightmare go away, want me to sing it to you?” She nodded. “ Hush now, my baby Be still love, don't cry Sleep like you're rocked by the stream Sleep and remember My lullaby And I'll be with you when you dream Drift on a river That flows through my arms Drift as I'm singing to you I see you smiling So peaceful and calm And holding you, I'm smiling, too Here in my arms Safe from all harm Holding you, I'm smiling, too Hush now, my baby Be still, love, don't cry Sleep like you're rocked by the stream Sleep and remember this river lullaby And I'll be with you when you dream I'll be with you when you dream And with that we both fell asleep. AUTHOR'S NOTE I have to admit I was crying manly tears when I started reviewing the song. Anyway I hope I'm getting better at this writing thing but I'll leave you guys to decide that. Chapter 6 part 1The next day. I woke up to find all of the cutie mark crusaders (exept Scootaloo) sleeping in my bed. “Does Scootaloo really snore that much?”As I got closer to were Scootaloo was sleeping I could make out that Scoots really did snore loudly. “Dayum. She really does snore loud. “Well better make some breakfast.” I walked down the stairs and saw somepony At the door. “umm, goodmorning.” I said as I opened the door. “Hello there,” said the blond pony. “I have some mail for you.” She said as she gave me a purple covered letter. “Umm, thanks.” I said. “No problem sir.” Then she flew away. I closed the door as I looked at the envelope. To: my two loved ones <3 “Who was that?”,asked Sweetie Belle. The voice startled me. “Oh the mailpony, hey kiddo I think Rarity sent us a letter.” She came down the stairs and sat on my lap and I started to read: Dear Sweetie and 8-bit, I hope you guys are having fun time with each other and the CMC. I miss you guys so much. I have to keep this brief because I'm going to the spa and must get ready. Oh and Pinkie Pie said Hi. Bye I'll be back next week. “Uncle 8-bit, I miss Big sis.” She said as she hugged me. “I miss her too sport.” I said as I caressed her mane. “Now let me prepare you guys some breakfast.” I said as I neared the kitchen. As I finished the bacon I heard Sweetie sniffing. “Is everything alright sport?” I called. As she came inside the kitchen I could tell she was at the verge of tears. “Hey what's wrong?” I said as I turned off the stove amd opened my arms for a hug. “Why did he call us that 8-bit, why?” She said as tears rolled down her eyes. “Why did he call us freaks?” My mind went back to yesterday when Butch was calling her and her friends blank flanks and freaks. “Well he just wanted us to be ashamed of our selves,” I explained to her. “ but these are what make us different or special.” I said as I pointed at our scars. “How many ponies have cared for you since you got the scars?” “Well everyone except that mean pony.” She said as she sniffed. “See? Ponies like that just want to see you fall down but never let anyone tell you your not special. Now turn that frown upside down.” She smiled. “Thank you.” She gave me a warm hug. “No problem, now tell your friends breakfast is ready.” “Ok!” She said as she hopped up the stairs. “And then I tell her now your just a pony that I used to know.” Said Applebloom as she finished the joke. Every one started laughing. Except me because I was washing the dishes. “Ok guys settle down.” I said as I took a seat. “ Today I'm going to let you guys choose what were gonna do today.” Everything went silent. “Ok CMC huddle up.” Scootaloo said breaking the silence. They were snickering for five minutes now. “Ok mister 8-bit we wanna go camping.” Said Squiek. “Sounds like a plan but were gonna need camping gear.” I said. “Not a problem, big sis has a tent big enough for all of us.” Said Sweetie Belle with a big grin. “Ok then lets get some smores, water, crakers, mosquito repellents, lamps and other supplies.” I said. Everyone started moving fast while collecting the supplies. “Ok all this in under an hour, this is good.” I said as I dropped a firs aid kit box in the supplies bag. Camping site, 5:00 p.m. “Ok Applebloom, Squeak and Scoots you guys set up camp Sweetie and me will look for fire wood.” Everypony got to work. As minutes passed me and Sweetie got enough fire wood and headed our way back to camp. “C'mon Sweetie it's getting dark.” I said looking at the sky. It was probably around 5:40. “Coming uncle 8-bit.” She said as she struggled with her wood. As we got everything was in order. Scootaloo was doing the finishing touches to the tent. Applebloom brought a few apples from a nearby tree and Squeak was setting up rocks were the fire will be. “Ok lets build the camp fire.” I said as I dropped the sticks in the pebble circle. “I finally did it!!” I screamed with joy as I finally ignited the camp fire. It had been close to an hour since I started to light up this thing. “Ok,” I said as I pulled out my guitar. “now any of you want me to sing you a song?” “Ooooh, ooooh” said Applebloom as she raised her hoof like a school filly. “I heard this one from my sis its titled Heart aches by the numbers.” “Ok. Here goes.” I said as I strummed the guitar. Heartaches by the number Troubles by the score Everyday you love me less Each day I love you more Yes, I've got heartaches by the number A love that I can't win But the day that I stop counting That's the day my world will end Heartache number one was when you left me I never knew that I could hurt this way And heartache number two Was when you come back again You came back but never meant to stay Yes, I've got heartaches by the number Troubles by the score Everyday you love me less Each day I love you more Yes, I've got heartaches by the number A love that I can't win But the day that I stop counting That's the day my world will end Heartache number three Was when you called me And said that you were comin' back to stay With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door I waited but you must have lost your way Yes, I've got heartaches by the number Troubles by the score Everyday you love me less Each day I love you more Yes, I've got heartaches by the number A love that I can't win But the day that I stop counting That's the day my world will end After a few songs they got tired and decided to go to sleep. “Ok good night kiddos.” I poked the fire for several minutes and then I heard rustling nearby. I pulled my knife. “Who's there?” A figure appeared and crept closer. “You can keep thou weapon sheathed.” Said a voice. I sheathed the knife and out stepped an black colored Alicorn with mane as dark as the night sky. “Princess Luna! I'm sorry I didn't know it was you.” I bowed down. “Not to worry young pegasus everypony make mistakes.” She said. “So what are you doing here?” I ask her. ” I was looking for you actually.” She said. “I'd like to discuss somethings with you. Come lets go for a walk.” I gulped. As we walked the night felt quiet. “8-bit I heard what you did in the park.” “How did you know?” “Well the pony that calls himself Butch came to my sister today and said that you verbally harassed him, is this true?” “Yes I did,” I said. “But did he tell you what HE called me and the fillies, What he almost did to Sweetie Belle?” “He told us that he accidentally threw a ball at you and you went berserk and verbally abused him.” “Typical.” I said coldly. “He lied to you Princess, to you and your sister.” “That's why my sister send me here to get more proof.” She said. “Now tell me your part.” “Well we were just finishing our picknick when he 'accidentally' threw a foot ball.” “Yes, continue.” She said. “Well he started calling us freaks and blank flanks,” I said, tears filling up in my eyes and a knot in my throught. “ that's when Sweetie Belle stood up for me. Just as she finished giving him raspberries he raised his hoof to hit her. I ran and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and and slammed him against a tree.” “And that's when you insulted him?” “Yeah...” I started to get a feeling something bad was going to happen. “And do you have proof?” “Otherwise than being a victim myself I got the fillies too if you'd like to-” A scream for help could be heard. “Ahhhhhh! Uncle 8-bit help!!” That was Sweetie Belle's voice. “Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.” I repeated as me and Luna made our way to the camp. The camp was empty everything was stolen even the kids. A note was inside the tent. If you want too see the brats again bring 200 gold to our cave to the south east. Luna leaned beside me and read the note. “I'll get the royal guard.” “I'll take care of this.” I said grabbing a few more knives. “Your going to kill them?!” She said baffled. “Who said anything about killing? I'll just scare them shitless.” I said strapping knives on my belt. “Now, pass me those ketchup packs.” END OF PART ONE. Chapter 6 part 2“Ok Luna, you ready?” I said to her as we sneaked around a few bushes. The bandit cave was insight, and only one pony was patrolling the entrance. “I am ready but you are not.” As I turned around I saw Luna levitating some kind of armor. As I slipped it on I felt strange and started to levitate. “Luna what's going on?” I said scared. “Do not worry it is the armor's binding process.” I felt shadows wrapping me up. I passed out. I awoke a few minutes later, the armor I was wearing was completely different. This one was completely black, it has spikes coming frome the shoulder plates and gauntlets, it was hard enough to resist a killing blow and light enough to sneak around quietly. “How does it feel?” Luna asked. “It feels... Nice” I said strapping the left gauntlet a little tighter. “You sure are giving me a lot of protection, I thought we were gonna fight some petty bandits?” “Well as a wise pony once said 'It is better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it'. Now I must go and tell the royal night guard.” As she was about to take off she turned her head back. “Good luck.” I said thanks and turned my attention back to the cave. The pony who was supposed to be guarding the cave was asleep. “Ok time to strike.” As I crouched I felt a tingling in my body, I looked down and I saw... Nothing? I had completely disappeared. “Cool.” I said as I crept close to the guard. “Wake up.” I whispered in his ear “No mom I don't want to go to school, mr. Ruler is mean.” “Wake up!” As he opened his eyes I cocked a punch and hit him square in the eye. “Ok now were are the ketchup packs?” I dug through my satchel and pulled a few out and started to cover my right cheek, my knife and his body in ketchup. “Lets hope this works. I made my way deeper in the cave (carrying the bandit) and I could hear Applebloom sobbing and Squeak was trying to resist. “You know mister 8 will kill you for this” Squeak growled. “Hah, that loser, what's he gonna do, scare me to death?” That voice sounded awefully familiar. “You really think that freak's gonna bring us the dough?” Said another bandit. I heard a chair moving and somepony sitting on it. “Don't worry he will, he'll do anything for these brats.“ said the familiar sounding one. I slowly dropped the bandit that I was carrying on the ground and crept closer to were the kids were trapped in. “Hey kiddos.” I whispered as I stood up the other to bandits were to busy on their poker game to notice me. “Uncle 8-bit is that you?” Sweetie whispered. Everyone looked at me scared. I realized it must be the ketchup. “Don't worry it's just ketchup.” I explained. They breathed a sigh of relief. “Did *sniff* y'all come to rescue us?” asked Applebloom. I nodded. “Now,” I picked up the knocked out bandit. “Now follow my lead.” I got in position, made the most evil grin I could and dropped the pony hard on the floor. *thump* I heard chairs dropping. “What the hell was that?” Said one of the bandits. “Must be Stiffy coming down with the freak. Yo Stiffy that you?” “No, just the 'freak'” I said. I saw them appear a few feet away from me. “I think he might be dead.” “Oh shit, what do you want?” Asked one of them. “What I want?” I scoffed as I looked at the knife that was covered in “Blood”. “What I want is for you to give me those kids back.” I pointed my knife at them. “Yo man, take it easy well let them go just don't kill us. Joey open the door!” Said the familiar sounding one to the other pony. Joey opened the door and out stepped the fillies, Sweetie conforting Applebloom and Scoots and Squeak sticking their tongues out. “Anything else?” said the unnamed pony. “Yeah, take off your masks.” I said. They both agreed and took of their masks. Joey came first. Then came the other one. If I hadn't been filled with anger I would have fainted. The other pony was Butch. It took every cell in my body not to throw the knife I had in my hoof in his face. “Now please give us Stiffy back.”” said Joey. I threw him still uncountious Stiffy and motioned the kids to retreat. Joey leaned over him and checked if he still had a pulse. “Hey Butch, Stiffy is still alive.” As Stiffy woke up he told them that I was here. They all turned around to face us but we already were running to the exit. “GET THEM!!” I heard Butch scream. “Oh crap. Please Luna be outside” I prayed. As we made it outside only the cold night was there to greet us. “Now we got you.” I heard a sinister voice behind us. We turned around and saw Butch and his friends with pocket knives. I shielded the fillies. ”You-” I was cut of by somepony. “In the name of Princess Luna you are under arrest.” Yelled one of the Night guards. “Oh crap, back in the cave.” Yelled Butch. “Stop right there.” We heard a booming voice. The Night guards bowed down. “Princess Luna.” As the three bandits turned around they saw Luna behind them. “Princess it's not what it looks like.” Said Butch. A few minutes later. As Butch and his gang went on their way to prison Nurse Readheart tended to The CMC. “Excuse me nurse but are they ok?” I asked. “Oh yes, just some minor scrapes and bruises they should be fine in a day or two.” She smiled and went back into medical carriage. “Have a good night.” “Well try.” I felt a tap on my shoulder. I tuned around and saw Luna staring at me. “That was pretty ingenuous of you to use tomato juice as a replacement to blood.” She complemented. “Well I use that as a prank. Didn't think a prank would help in life.” “Can I have the armor back?” She said. I grinned. “I'm still wearing it, am I?”. She nodded. I took off the armor and handed it to her. “Thanks.” “Your welcome. So I have to leave, so I'll be seeing you.” “Wait Luna, I need a favor.” I whispered the idea in her ear. “Ooh, I'd love to do that, when will you do this?” “I'll send you a message. Ok?” She nodded quite happily and flew off to Celestia knows were. I turned my attention to the fillies. “So you guys want to keep camping or go home? There still some smores left.” “I still wanna go camping, how 'bout it Crusaders?” Said Squeak. They all screamed in joy as we headed back to the camp site. Chapter 7Five months later “Rarity are you sure?” I said as I showed her the video game that read: Left 4 Dead 2. “This game has extreme gore.” Me and my friends, Trail Blazer and Chip, decided to have a game night tonight so we decided to play zombie games. “8-bit it's fine I can handle it.” She said reassuring me as she sat next to me in the couch. “Ok, don't say I didn't warn ya.” I said as I turned my head to the mic. “Guys you there?” “Yep I'm here.” Said Trail Blazer. “Yesh I'm here.” Said Chip while munching on... well, chips. “Ok so change of plans,” I looked at Rarity, she gave me a warm smile. “the game will be a 4 player game, ok?” “Ok no prob my man.” Said Trail Blazer, he sounded like he was adjusting he's mic. “Pshhh. A noob I bet.” Said Chip a bit of bitterness in his voice. “Lay off Chip,” Said Trail Blazer, ahh good ol' Trail Blazer always there for me. “Now, 8, tell us who is he?” “Well that he is a she and my marefriend.” I said prideful. All that pride went away went Chip started laughing. “What are you laughing about?” “Hahahaha... Oh, oh my... I-I didn't know you were gay... Hahahaha.” Said Chip gasping for air. “Wait your gay?” Said Trail Blazer in amazement. “Celestiadammit.” I cursed as I pulled out my cellphone. “Rarity. Pose. Now.” Rarity sticked out her tongue and winked. I took pics and send them to Trail Blazer and Chip. A few seconds later two faint rings came from the backround. “Dayum, 8, she hawt.” Said Trail Blazer. I saw Rarity blush. ”Pfft Fake and Gay.” Said Chip. “Well you can stick it up your-” “Umm, baby, can I have the mic for a sec.” Said Rarity taking the mic from my head. “Listen you, you better start believing I'm real or your in for mayor whoop flank.” She gave me back the mic. “Now you believe me?” “Yes.” Said Chip. “Umm guys can we start playing?” said Trail Blazer annoyed. “I'm choosing Nick.” “I'll be Coach.” Declared Chip. “I'll be Ellis and Rarity will be Rochelle.” I said giving Rarity the controller. “Ok... Level: Dark Carnival... difficulty: expert annnd begin. As the level loaded I gave the basics to Rarity, how to do a 180, how to shoot, move, aim and shove. “I'll tell you more as we continue.” AUTHOR'S NOTE ok this part of the story is going to be shifting between the POV of Ellis and 8-bit. So when ever you see the little line I made, the point of view has changed. END OF AUTHOR'S NOTE “Guys can I have a second alone with the car I just uh, I gots somethings that need sayin'” I said as I stared down Jimmy Gibbs stock car. “I just wanted you to know that you are the most beautiful thing I ever sat between.” I said as I caressed the car. “I love you.” I whispered as I gave it a hug. “Ooookay, everypony grab a weapon!” Yelled Nick. Me and Coach grabbed our shotguns and Nick chose the silenced uzi. I saw Rochelle having problems choosing so I helped her. “Having trouble Rarity?” I said. “I don't know which one to choose.” She said. “Well let me explain.” “Oh yeah, listen to your coltfriend, he sure as hay gives awesome advice.” Said Chip, he sounded impatient. “As I was saying, you have to choose between this two weapons to fight off the infected. Let me explain, the shotgun is my favorite because it has a wide spread and can take multiple enemies at once the downside is that you have to reload each shell individually. Now the sub machine gun is accurate but not it hasn't got enough fire power to best the shotgun but what the sub machine gun lacks in power it makes up in speed.” I finished. “I'll go with the sub machine gun. Oh and what are those red backpacks?” “Those are health kits they restore your health, don't unless its an emergency. There are also pain pills and adrenaline that give you a temporary health boost.” As I explained it to her she grabbed her sub machine gun and health kit and continued onward. “Whispering Oaks? I used to go there when I was a kid.” Said Coach excitedly. “Oh good, now we can die there as adults.” Nick said. As we climed on top of a car we saw a sea of cars infront of us. “The cars go on for miles!” Yelled Rochelle “Maybe they left them when they got rescued.” Replied Coach “That's... One theory.” Said Nick. As we mowed our way through zombies we came across a motel. “Whispering Oaks Motel? Sheeeet I know were we are.” Said Coach as he daydreamed. “Ok guys lets split up, Coach and me will go on the low road and Ellis and Rochelle will go up the billboard.” We all nodded and me and Rochelle started to climb the hill. As we climbed on the billboard I shot a few more zombies and spotted a sniper. “How does this work?” Ask Rarity. “That's a sniper it's very accurate and way more powerful than the shot gun. The snipers are my personal favorite, they can be handy to take out smokers.” “What's a smoker?” As Rochelle was being dragged away I aimed the sniper to the smoker's head and shot it. As I covered my nose to help she said thank you and grabbed a sniper. As we climbed down the stairs Nick and Coach were waiting for us at the bottom. “You guys ok?” Asked Coach. “Had a bit of trouble with a smoker but nopony got hurt.” I said. “You guys?” “We didn't even fight our way in there are no zombies here.” Said an outraged Nick. “We better keep going.” Rochelle said taking a head start. “Hey guys I'm sleepy I'll play with you guys some other time.” Said a yawning Chip. “Kay, see ya.” I said. As we moved through the motel we heard heavy breathing and grunting. “Must be a Tank,” said Coach. “Keep your eyes and ears open.” I picked up some explosive rounds and placed them on the floor for everypony to take. “Frag rounds here.” Everypony picked them up and continued through the motel. As we climbed out the window we felt the ground shaking. “Shitshitshit.” I repeated. “Man this about to be all baghdad and shit.” Said Coach loading his shotgun. “Man up we got a Tank!” Screamed Nick. Everypony started to shoot the gigantic thing, it was just making him angry. I then saw a gas can. “Wait here guys.” Coach saw what I was doing and covered me. I picked up the gas can and jump through the window. I threw the gas can at him and shot it. He bursted to flames. “Everypony run!!” I yelled. Everyone started to run to the back of the motel and slide down the ravine. We shot a few infected but the Tank was still on our heels. As we climed a hill I saw the gates to heaven. “WHISPERING OAKS! Me made it.” I screamed with joy. All that was cut when I heard moaning. A few feet infront of me sat a mare crying. “Shit witch!” I whispered. As we slid past her we still heard the thundering thumps of the tank. As the hulking beast came to us we couldn't shoot it because we would disturb the witch. Then the funniest thing happened. The tank toom a few steps foward got to his knees and landed on the witch, we heard the witch scream and then bones crushing. “Dam thats gotta hurt.” said Coach with a victory whoop. “Hey guys safe house.” Said Nick. “8-bit man I'm sorry but I'm about to pass out I need my sleep.” Said Trail Blazer. “But we jusy passed the first level.” I said. “Yeah after six tries.” “Ok,ok made your point see ya.” I said as I turned the system off. I felt a soft weight in my crotch. Rarity was resting her head there. ”Your friends are nice, well exept for that Chip fellow.” She said. I started to play with her hair, that beautiful, long, purple hair. “Yea he may act all tough but hes a real nice guy.” She sat up, sat on my lap and we started making out. We pressed our tongues together mine trying to invade hers and vice versa, after a while she broke the kiss. “Take me 8-bit, please.” She whispered in my ears. I was baffled. “Here? But what if-” “Not here our room.” “Ohh.” I carried her to our bed and we started making out only more passionately. “8-bit I need you inside me now.” She said. As my cock started to grow I opened her legs, she was super wet in there. I poked the head of my member inside her. “Don't tease me.” She moaned. “You don't have to tell me twice.” I said as I grabbed her hips and started to screw her. “Wait!” She said. I was nervous, had I hurt her? She reached for a drawer and pulled out a condom. I breathed a sigh of relief. She only wanted safe sex. “I don't want a filly just yet.” She said smiling. I nodded, put on the condom and started to screw her again. We both moaned with pleasure. I looked at her eyes, her beautiful, big eyes, I felt like I was fucking a godess. She caressed my cheeks and started to kiss me, my hips were still thrusting inside her. She brought me in closer. “I'm about to cum.” She whispered. “Good cause I am too.” I let out a smile. “Oh, 8-bit yes make me cum.” She said with a dirty smile. My thrusts were faster now I was determined to make her cum. She moaned louder with each thrust. “8-bit... Ahh, I'm about to cum!” We groaned as we came at the same time. We were both breathing heavily. “I call dibs on the shower.” She said as she got up from the bed and made a run for it. I got up from the bed and before dumping the condom on the trashcan I checked if it had holes in it, luckily it had no holes. I breathed a sigh of relief. As I waited for my turn on the shower I smiled. “Ok 8-bit you turn.“ Rarity said as she closed the door. I quickly got up and made a run for the bathroom. After cleaning myself and my teeth I went back to Rarity's room and slept next to her and whispered in her ear: “Good night, my love.” Chapter 3AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'll be changing the view of the story to 1st person. Why? Cause I damn well please, now keep reading. END OF NOTE. Darkness. All I could see was darkness. “Hello?” I called. “Anypony here?” “8-bit...” Said a soft whisper. My body tensed and I started the get scared. Did that voice sound like me? “8-bit turn around, would you?” Said the voice now clearer. I turned around and what I saw I couldn't comprehend. I saw myself but my left eye was incredibly scared, it was like... I don't know 6 inches long and his iris was pure white. My... I mean his... the other me's snout had 3 slashes in it. He was also slightly burned on his right shoulder. “Scary, isn't it?” The other me said. I nodded.“So, uh how did you get them?” I asked, trying not to sound scared. “Oh, fire, panic, and a cat don't mix well, trust me we've been through that.” He said with a smirk.“But enough about that, lets talk about my purpose here...” He said as he took 2 chairs that appeared out of nowhere.“Now sit.” I sat faster than rainbow dash flying. “Ok, lets get to the point.” He said as he grabbed 2 tea cups. That too came out of nowhere, he offered one to me. “Uh, no thanks, got any water.” I said rejecting the tea. “Yes.” A long, awkward silence followed.“ What, you want me to spawn one for you? There is a fridge over there.” He said pointing his hoof beyond me were a fridge lied. As I got back to my seat with my water bottle I wondered if I was gong crazy. “No, you're not going crazy,” he said as I snapped back to reality. Was he reading my mind. “You do notice we are the same person, right?” I nodded finally realizing. “Now back to the business at hoof.” he said as he rubbed his two hooves together. “You've just developed a sixth sense to detect danger that's all, kind of like a spidey sense.” “Hmm, sounds kinda coo-” “But,” There's always a but, isn't there. “With that blessing comes a heavy burden.” “Wh-what burden?” I stammered nervously. “All in good time.” He said as he presented a crazy looking grin in my face. I then noticed he also had a scar in his left side of his lips. “Well I think it's about time you wake up.” He said as he looked at his pocket clock. “From your coma that is.” The water I was drinking just fell out of my mouth. “Im in a coma?” “Yeah but only for a week or two.” He said as he was preparing some kind of potion. “Now drink this.” He said giving me the potion. “This will take you back.” I gulped it in one go. The Hospital. I woke up. As I opened my eyes I saw the most cutest sight. Rarity was reading to Sweetie Belle. “Rarity...” My voice came real low kind of an old pony's voice. “Rarity...” I called a little higher. She turned her head up. Her eyes were red, maybe because she was crying, and she didn't have any make up on. “Rarity...” This time it was my normal voice. As I saw her face lit up with joy she woke up Sweetie from her half sleep-half awake trance and they both runned to me. “Uncle 8-bit you woke up!!” She screamed as she leaped to me. I'll tell ya something she may look like a marshmallow, but she sure as hay didn't weight like one. She landed square on my chest. As she turned around to her right side I saw something that made my heart stop. She had a scar on her right cheek, not a big one though. As I turned to Rarity she kissed me on the lips very passionately. “EWWWW!” Groaned Sweetie Belle. “No kissy infront of the filly.” I smirked. Rarity broke the kiss. “Sweetie, darling, tell the others Uncle 8-bit has finally woken up.” “OK.” She said jumping off the bed and leaving the room. “So, I suppose you want me to tell you why you have those bandages.” “What Bandages?” I said as I grabbed a mirror on a nearby desk. As I looked into the mirror I saw what she meant. Most of my face was bandages. The only parts of my face that weren't covered were: my right eye, my mouth and my ears. I took good long look at my self and put the mirror were I found it. “The doctor said they were gonna remove the bandages tomorrow.” She said getting all teary eyed. “Hey, why so sad? I just woke up from a coma and now your crying?” Holding my arms out for a comforting hug (which she gladly accepted). “Well, as you probably remember, it started at my house fire a month ago...” A MONTH!?! Why that no good lying son of a gun. Wait did just offend my self? A few minutes later... “...and then you went through my front door carrying Opal and Sweetie Belle but you were covered in cuts and blood and then you collapsed on the floor.” She began crying as she said those last words. All I could do was be suprised. I never knew I had the courage to save somepony under that kind of pressure. I held her close to me trying hard to console her. “Don't worry I'm alive so there is no need to worry.” She gave me a warm grin. Then she pecked me on the lips. *ahem* Rarity and I turned to see all my friends here. “Hope we're not interupting.” Said Twilight carrying a few books with her horn. “No of course not.” I said as me and Rarity blushed. “Good, 'cause we brought presents!!” Said Pinkie Pie jumping up high enough to touch the ceiling. “What presents?” Isaid looking at them. “These ones.” Said Applejack rolling a cart full of stuff. Twilight presented her presents first. “I found a few books in my library, and I thought they might interest you.” She said as she laid down 3 books which were: Narnia, Darklife and Nordic verses. “Thank you Twilight.” I said taking the books. “Don't mention it.” Next came Spike. “Here I bought you this.” He said as he gave me a daedric sword. I thought I was going to faint. “Wow, Spike! Thanks.” I said examining the sword “Yeah, yeah no problem.” He said as he positioned himself next to Twilight. “OOH, I want to be next!” Said Pinkie as she positioned a huge basked filled with cupcakes of all types of flavor. My mouth watered as a thank you. “'Kay I thinks is mah turn to present my present” Said Applejack as she lifted up a an acoustic guitar. “Homemade” she said as she gave me the guitar. I couldn't thank her enough for this. “No thanks is necessary.” She said giving me a small bump on my left shoulder. Next came Fluttershy. “Here I made this for you.” She said as she gave me a sweater. “Rarity helped.” “Oh so this gift is from both of you?” I asked. “No, baby, I'll give you my present when everyone else finishes.” Rarity said caressing my right cheek. “Oh, well thank you Fluttershy.” I said. “No problem.” She said as she went back were she was. “Ok my turn.” Said Rainbow dash.“ I got you something thats 20% cooler than any of these gifts combined.” She took out a brown package. “Hope you like it.” As I opened the package I started saying in my mind that this was probably a prank or a picture of her. Boy was I wrong. It was probably the most awesome video game collection in ponykind. The Orange Box. As I opened the case all that happiness burned away. There was a note taped were the disk should have been, it said: “Gottcha >:p” As I closed the tray she started laughing. “Well, actually Rainbow, the jokes on you,” Rarity said as she saw the note. “why would you buy a game and keep the disk for your self if you don't have the console?” Rainbow looked as if she was about to blow a fuse. “Fine I'll get the disk. I'll be back in ten seconds flat.” She said as she flew out the hospitals window. 10 seconds later... “Here.” Rainbow said giving me the disk. “Thank you Rainbow.” I said sticking out my tongue. “It looks like it's my turn, come Sweetie lets give uncle 8-bit his gift.” Rarity said as she reached for her gift. “Your going to like this Uncle 8-bit.” Sweetie said as she jumped in my bed. “Here, baby, hope you like it.” Said Rarity giving me an bright blue present. As I opened the box a drawing of me and Rarity with little hearts around us. There was a signature that said: By Sweetie Belle. I got teary eyed. Below the drawing was another box although it was a bit smaller. The box read: HANDEL WITH CARE, FALLOUT COMIC-CON. I carefully opened the box. What was in it was beyond description. It was a Pip-Boy 3000. “How did you get this? This is almost impossible to get.” I said “I know, it was hard but anything for my lover,”she said putting the device on my wrist. “Now check the notes menu, I put something special for you.” I checked the notes section, there were two notes. The first one was a picture of the party when me and Rarity were doing a slow dance that had a kiss mark in the corner of the pic. The other one was a poem that read: “Night was new-throned in Equestria and we did rove Together in the cool and shadowless haze That thickened round, at the wild stars to gaze Ere yet the moon’s red rim had showed above The pine-trees. For in both our souls did move The same fond lover-fancy,—that their rays Were richer for all those who from the ways Of man's long past had looked at them in love; And when our glances through their midst did run From orb to orb of all that seemed most fair, To fix at last with mutual heed on one That gloried in the West beyond compare, It seemed to us that when the day was done, The spirit of our joy was mansioned there.” “Rarity this is beautiful.” I said as tears rolled down my eyes. Curse this manly tears. “Thanks, darling, creating poems is my second hobby.” She said caressing my cheeks. “*ahem*, Excuse me,” said a nurse in the doorway. “You guys have 5 five minutes, the patients need some sleep.” “Oh, ok.” Said Twilight.“Come on girls lets leave 8-bit to his rest.” “You guys go on, I'll catch up.” Rarity said. “Twi can you take Sweetie for a moment, I need to talk to 8-bit.” “Yeah, sure,” Twilight turned to Sweetie Belle. “C'mon Sweetie Belle, lets go for a walk.” “Ok!” She said as she gave me a kiss on the cheek and bounced off the bed. “So, you saw Sweetie's scar?” Said Rarity as she sitting beside me. “Yeah, how did she get it?” I said as I got comfy. “Well as you collapsed on the ground I saw Sweetie's right cheek bleeding and I asked her what happened, then she said she tried to get Opal off you when she tried the cat scratched her.” She finished Almost crying. “And what about Opal?” I asked a bit nervous about what she may say. “Oh, her, she's in a deep time out.” She said with a hint of anger in her voice. “No gourmet treatment and cage for a 2 months.” I breathed a sigh of relief. I thought she was going to take her to the pound. “Excuse me, lady, but visiting times are over.” Said the nurse. “Oh, ok, well, see you tomorrow?” She said. “Only if you won't get scared by the scars.” I said with a big grin. “I promise.” She said as she kissed me. “Bye.” I said. “Bye. Love you.” She said as she left the room. “Love you to-” I was cut of as a grey pegasus busted through the window. “WHO IN CELESTIA'S GREEN EQUESTRIA ARE YOU?” “Name's Derpy. I have a letter for you from a siiiir... elrafa22, what a silly name.” She said as she gave me the letter. ”Well gotta go!” And she left as quickly as she came. “Ooookay. Wierd. And who the hay is Elrafa22. Well then, Lets open this up.” I said as I opened the letter. Out came a huge bag of bits and a letter saying: “This is for you 8-bit dont waste it all in one place.DO NOT REPLY.” “Wow sir elrafa, that's kind of you.” I said as I folded the paper threw it at the garbage basket. “Now lets see if the radio works on this thing.” I said as I searched for the radio section. “Blue Moon” started to play. Oh man, this is my favorite song. “ Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms would hold I heard somebody whisper, "please adore me" And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own...” I fell asleep knowing I was no longer alone. END OF CHAPTER.
Chapter 1“So this is ponyville. Wow” said 8-bit while carrying his heavy bag of special ”things” in his two hooves. “Okay lets see apartment, apartment...” He repeated himself while trying to open “map of ponyville for dummies”. Well he was sure as hay he was no dummy he always was at school it was A after A after A ”Aha found one” he said pointing at the map trying to forget those horrible moments in highschool. Few minutes later “Ok found it” he said looking up the big blue sign that said “Hoofing it” 8-bit entered the building which and ordered a room. After entering his room he opened his heavy bag and out came wifi, a ps3,controllers , books and a coffee machine. “Ok lets set this place up” he said determined. “Ok” he said pulling out a check list ”Find Ponyville. Check. Set up apartment. Check. Find job. Hmm I saw a barn that was hiring. Maybe Ill go there.” “Hmm I always wanted to farm. I wonder what will it be like-" He stopped cold. What made him stop was A beautiful sight. The pony in front of him was gorgeous white coat and purple mane. "Ay, mamacita que bonita" Then she turned around and made eye contact with each other. 8-bit blushed then she let out a small giggle. " What is she laughing at?" he thought,then he felt something erect in his body " Mierda, NOT NOW" he thought to himself. He looked between his legs but he saw nothing "Huh then why did i feel something erect" He looked at his back his two wings were fully erect "Oh great" when he turned his glance back to the white unicorn. She was closer now. "Hello there, darling, my name is Rarity whats yours?" she said. "My n-name's 8-bit, nice to meet you Rarity" he said nervous as hay. "Do tell 8-bit whats your business here in Ponyville" "I just settled here, I'm looking for a job at the umm, the nearest barn" "OH you mean Applejack's barn, sure, I can take you there if you'd like" "Really? Well thank you, senori- I mean,Rarity" A few minutes later. " Here it is Sweet Apple Acres" she said while arranging her hair" "U-umm thanks,you sure she wont mind if I join." "Oh hush now darling she always loves visitors" " O-ok" As they reach the front door 8-bit quickly grabs the front door and says "Lady's first." "Oh, such a gentleman" she said passing through the door."Come now let me introduce you to my friends" As they entered the kitchen 8-bit could smell the apple pies.His mouth was watering, he hasn't tated does since he was a filly. "Hey there girls,look, I found someone new in Ponyville, Come 8-bit." "Hey" He said nervous as buck again. "8-bit this is Rainbow Dash" "Hey dude" Rainbow Dash said "And those are Twilight, Applejack,Pinkie Pie,and Flutershy." "Hi" they all said in unison. "Oh And those are the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Applebloom,Scootaloo,and Sweetie Bell. When 8-bit saw Sweetie Bell it took all his energy not too yell "SHES SO CUTE SHE LOOK LIKE A MARSHMALLOW" When he cleared his train a though he remembered his reason to be here "So uh, Applejack are you still hiring new ponies to help you around the farm" he said. "Sure as hay I am" " Well I'm looking for a job so i can earn bits to pay off my rent" "Well you looked in the right farm sugarcube" Applejack said " But you gotta tell us how you got that cutie mark" "Yeah it looks pretty rare ive never seen that before" Piped up Twilight. "Yeah, tell us!!!" came Pinkiepie out of nowhere. "Don't worry darling she does that,now tell us how you got it" "Ok, but i need an apple pie and a drink" "Vodka or Whiskey" said Applejack "Uh, Water would be nice" "Ok, some water... 'ere ya go SugarCube" "And That's how i got my cutie mark" 8-bit said finishing his apple pie "Dang those are some good apple pies." "WOOOOW" They all said in amusement. 8-bit was surprised none of them make fun of him for his lame cutie mark. "So,wait you scored 1234567898 on Galatia" said Pinkiepie "Wow, Maybe you could teach me how to play we could be the bestest-super duper friends ever" "Uh sure I've never had real friends before" Everypony gasped. "WHAT?" They all said together again. "Yes I've never had real friend before." "Then we'll be your friends" Said Rainbow Dash "Hay, maybe we'll call ourselves the Mane 6 and a stallion" "Well ok if that's Ok with you guys" 8-bit said joy filling up his soul. "Sure" they all agreed. "Ok 8-bit back to your apartment you got a busy day tomorrow" "Kay see you girls later" "WAIT" said Twi And Rarity. "Maybe we could accompany you." 8-bit's heart stopped. "U-uh o-ok" "Great" said Rarity " Lets stop by my placed first" After walking for a bit... "Wow," said 8-bit " Que belleza" "What?" Twi and Rarity said. "O-o-oh uh nothing its the moon, the moons very pretty" he said nervously Twi and Rarity smiled "Yeah, the moon sure is pretty" said Rarity. But 8-bit wasn't listening he was staring at Rarity's flank. A few dirty fantasies later... BAM!! 8-bit walked into Rarity's flank. "Ow!!" screamed Rarity. 8-bit snapped back to reality. " Oh Celestia sorry,sorry,sorry,sorry,sorry,sorry, sorry" he repeated. "That's ok I'm sure it was and accident." said Rarity "Well this is me guys seeya" "Bye" Twi and 8-bit said.

"ROGER" 8-bit said "TRUCK, GRINCH COVER HIM" "ROG' BOSS" "Metal zero one Airforce 1 is ready to roll on your mark" "COPY 8-BIT MARK THOSE SONS OF BITCHES" "GOT IT" "AIRFOCE 1 sending you the coordinates now!!" "COPY Metal Zero One 30 seconds DANGER CLOSE. OUT." "BOSS WE AINT GONNA LAST THAT LONG." said Grinch with fear in his voice. "10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1." Said 8-bit silently BOOOOM.BAAAM.CRACK. "WOOOOOOOOOO" screamed Grinch with joy in his voice. "See," Said 8-bit " I told you we'd mak-" At that same moment a sniper shot was heard and 8-bit fell to the ground with an " ACK MOTHERFU- SOME PONY SNIPED FRIGGIN SON OF A BITCH." "I GOT HIM" Said Truck as friendly Ospreys landed around them. "Come on kid stay with me" Said Sandman putting pressure on 8-bits wound. "SOMEPONY GET A MEDIC" It all went white for 8-bit He woke up. "Dam just when it was getting cool" 8-bit said. " WHAT TIME IS IT" He looked at the clock 5:00 a.m. " Ok,Ok hour an a half still got time" "Ok lets make some grub." He said with a chuckle. He put his Hay O's in a bowl and started munching. What he saw made him shiver. A note left on the table." Oh GREAT FIRST NIGHT AND SOMEONE BROKE INTO MY APARTMENT" He grabbed the note and read it: "Dear 8-bit, Me and Pinkie organized a party for you tonight so I wrote you this letter to advise you to keep your cool and good luck signed your bestest friend Twilight." "OK, but this doesn't explain this note that appeared here.” 8-bit decided to just leave it and went to work.
Chapter 2”Not like that. 'ere let me help ya” said Applejack taking the hoe from 8-bit's hooves. ”Im sorry Applejack,” apologized 8-bit. ” it's that I have alot in my mind today y'know with the party and other stuff.” ”Tell ya what I'll let you finish at midday for to day if you tell me what's wrong” ”Hmm, ok.” 8-bit inhales. ”I like one of your friends” He exhaled. ”Aww shucks that's it? C'mon tell me who it is.” She said happily ”Is it Fluttershy... No wait, Rainbow Dash?” ”No and No it's uhh Rarity” Said 8-bit. Applejack looked at him in amazement.”Yee-haw!! It's 'bout time that Ms.Priss gets herself a nice young stallion like yerself” 8-bit blushed.”Thank you AJ but I should get farmin' I really want to earn those bits and you cutting my first day till midday is enough.” 8-bit said taking the hoe from AJ's hooves. ”'Kay you keep doin' watcher doin' and I'll prepare lunch so you can prepare for the party, Deal?” 8-bit nodded. He could smell the apple pies from here. Midday. YuMmmmmm,” moaned 8-bit tasting the last bite of his apple pie.” I never get tired of this taste AJ what do you put in these?” ”Can't tell ya, sugarcube , old family recipe but im glad you like it” said Applejack smiling. ” Shame... well seeya,” said 8bit putting his cowboy hat on (that Granny Smith created in a blink of an eye).” Tell Granny I said thanks for the hat.” He whispered because she was taking a nap. ”No problem, sugarcube, I'll tell her now you gotta skit outta here and prepare for tonight” ”Don't worry I will.” He said closing the door. Just as he was going to see Twilight about the note he found in the kitchen a note appeared out of nowhere. 8-bit shrieked. He cursed something in spanish just as he opened the letter. 8-bit beggan too read in his mind. ”Dear 8-bit, I was so exited about what you told me yesterday that I forgot to tell you at what hour the party was on, silly me. The party is at Sugarcube Corner at 9:30. Ok, got that? Good se you there.” Then he slamed into somepony hard.It was Rarity. ” Ra-Rarity are you Ok? Im sorry I was reading something” said 8-bit. ” Oh thats ok , darling, I was lost thinking... In something...” They both made eye contact. ” Ay, Celestia, ayudame” thought 8-bit in spanish. ” So uh where were you goin 8?” Said Rarity blushing like a rose. ”Umm to Twilight's for a sec I need to talk to her.” ”Oh Ok , darling, I'll see you tonight.” Said Rarity leaving and blushing even more. ” Y-yeah bye.” He said dumbstruck. ” And nice hat!!!!” He heard her yell. He grinned. Twilght's house 2:00 p.m. ” Twi!!!” 8-bit yelled ” I need to talk to you” He heard the door unlock. ”Twi did y-” He stopped cold and when he saw a dragon in front of him. Now anyother pony that hasn't ever heard a dragon and wasn't a gamer would of just screamed but 8-bit wasn't one of those ponies. He stood firmly and yelled the following words: ”FUS RO DAH” Spike was unamused. ”Umm hi, Need something?” ” Oh...umm, I'm here to see Twilight” said 8-bit. ” She's busy studying, by the way, my name is Spike.”said Spike letting 8-bit in. ” Hey while she finishes can you help me with this game, I heard you play video games” ”Uh sure why not, I could use something to clear my mind.” Thirty minutes later. ”...so you just throw the monkey while doing a few loops around the stage and they'll follow it, simple as pie.” ” Wow than-” he was cut by Twilight's voice. ” 8-bit you can come up now!” ” How did she know I was-” Spike just shrugged. ” Hey Twi I wanted to talk about the note you send me.” Said 8-bit coming up the stairs. ” Yeah it was kind of rude not to tell you but Spike can burn the notes and they magically get send to the pony I want them sent to.” Twilight tried to explain. ”It's complicated, trust me.” ” Yeah well that wasn't the only reason I went up here.” Said 8-bit with a big awkward grin. ” I came here for some advice on Rarity.” ”Well thats easy just be your self she loves that trust me. Oh and bring the hat.” She said while taking out a book from the shelve next to her. ” Oh and read this” she said handing him the book. ” How to kiss a mare or a stallion? But you just told me to be myself.” ” I know, its that I want you to have a good time with her tonight.” ” Don't worry I will.” He said reassuring her. ” Ok. Oh I almost forgot, Fluttershy wanted to see you, she said she needed help with a few of her pets.” ” I'll go see her, see you tonight” he said ” Yeah, see ya” she said sioer exited. And with that 8-bit left for Fluttershy's house. 3:45 Fluttershy's front door. “Here drink this!” Fluttershy said as she handed a bottle to 8-bit, and she flew away. ” Umm, ok.” He said looking at the bottle. “Well bottoms up.” Unknown time. Unknown location. “SUPRISE!!!” Many voices said at once. 8-bit woke up, startled, and assumed a karate pose. “What in the hay is this” he screamed. “Its your welcoming party, silly” said Pinkie Pie “Ohhh... Wait, you ponynapped me!?” “Yep!” She said with a big grin. “Ok then, lets get this party started!” “Wooohooo!” Everypony screamed. A few hours later. 8-bit sat alone in a table looking at his reflection in his punch. “What a night.” He wasn't lying he did have an awesome night. He had a rap battle with Spike, he got drunk and sang “I Gotta Feeling”, and best of all he danced with Rarity. “Yeah well, too bad I couldn't tell Rarity what my feelings for her.” “Couldn't tell me what, dear?” Said Rarity while she sat in front of him. 8-bit snapped back to reality. “How long have she been sitting there...” He thought to himself. “Wait, this may be my chance to tell her how I feel about her!” He turned to her. “Rarity, I need to tell you something.” He steeled himself. “I lov-” Rarity put her hoof in his lips. “You don't need to tell me anything,” she said. “I love you too, and yes I want to be your marefriend.” She told him a s they shared a nuzzle.“ I'll accompany you to your apartment for a little suprise, but you gotta help me and the girls clean this place up, ok?” “O-o-ok.” He smiled. “Now,darling, help me with this table.” She said as she grabbed her end of the table. “Ok.” He said as he took his punch and drank it down in one big gulp. 8-bit's apartment 12:37 a.m. “So, you ready?” Said Rarity kissing him. “Umm, Yeah.” he said nervously. Rarity reached down to 8-bit's lower regions and grabbed his member. “Wow, how big is this?” “13 inches.” He said blushing. She let out a small giggle. “Lets get started.” She said as she stroked his thick cock. 8-bit moaned with pleasure as Rarity sped up her stroking speed. Rarity slowed down a bit and started licking his member. “Wow, Rarity, were did you learn to do that?”. Rarity stopped licking but didn't stop stroking.“Magazines. If you think this is fun wait until you feel this.” She said as she began to suck on his cock. A tsunami of pleasure hit him. “This is so much better than clopping.” He thought. She added more pleasure by stroking faster and sucking harder. “Rarity if you keep that up I'm gonna...” His words faded as he came. His whole body twitched as he shot his hot ooze in to Rarity's mouth. Rarity didn't let a single drop spill from her mouth. “Well that was fun,” said Rarity cuddling next to him. “but next time, it's your turn.” “Ok.” He said as he hugged her closer. “Hey, where is your sister? I didn't see her at the party.” “Oh, she's taking care Opal, my cat.” She said. “We should get some sleep.” She said as she closed her eyes. “Yeah...” He said. Something felt wrong inside of 8-bit, like if something bad was going to happen to him and somepony else. 2:31 a.m. 8-bit's Apartment 8-bit lay awake in his bed with the same feeling he got earlier but only weaker. “Maybe what'll happen won't be so ba-” Before he could finish, Twilight appeared out of nowhere. “What in the hay?!” Screamed 8-bit. All the commotion woke up Rarity. “Twi, darling, what are you doing here?” She said getting up from 8-bit's bed. “No time to explain, grab my hooves. NOW!” They both did as fast as they could. “Twi, what's wrong, why do you look worried?” Asked Rarity. “Shhh, I'm trying to concentrate!” Rarity shut up, and then they disappeared. They then reappeared outside Rarity's home. Rarity dropped to her knees in shock and 8-bit's mouth hanged open. Rarity's house was in flames.

Chapter 4"...and there we go." Said the doctor removing the last of the bandages on my face. "Yep," I thought when I looked in the mirror. "just like him." "Just like who?" "Uh, no one. Well doctor, thanks for patching me up." I said standing up and going for a hoofshake "My pleasure, a friend of yours stopped by earlier to pick up your stuff said her name was Rarity." He said shaking my hoof. "Is she still there?" I said going out the door. "Yep, she said she had something special to ask you." "Ok, thanks again doc." "No problem." I pressed the button for the elevator. I waited. And waited. And waited."Must be out of order. Looks like i have to take the stairs. In what level am I?" My jaw hanged open as I saw the level I was in. "Level 29? How in the hay am I goin-" I then facehoofed myself for not remembering that i had wings. Lobby. "8-bit, over here!" I turned to the sound of the voice. It was Rarity. She looked so beautiful. "Beauty sleep does wonders to you, doesn't it?" "It sure does." She said as she put her arms around me and started kissing me. "So, how do you feel?" "Like if I have been covered in bandages for a month." We both giggled at my stupid answer." So the doctor said you had something special to say to me." "Oh...um that..." She looked nervous. "I was wondering if you'd like to move in with me?" She winced as I was gonna say no, how am I going to say no to that answer. "Yes, Rarity I would like to move in with you." "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you." She said as she hugged me. "C'mon lets go to my... I mean our home" She said holding my hoof. Rarity's Boutique After 8-bit went to his apartment to pick some stuff up. "Okay, I'm done setting this up." I said as I finished plugging in the PS3. "Oh, 8-bit can you call Sweetie down, I'm finishing lunch." Said Rarity as she dumped the noodles into the boiling pot. "Ok." I said as I climbed up the stairs. As I reached her room I could hear the makeshift explosions and car sounds. *KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK* I learned to knock when I was a filly because I walked in my parents "doing it". I pushed that memory out of my mind. "Yo, sport, came here to tell ya dinners almost done." "Ok, Uncle 8-bit, gimme a sec." She said as she put the dolls down and went beside me. As we went down the stairs I could smell the spaghetti from here. "This can't be spaghetti, this smells too heavenly to be even food." I complimented. "Oh stop it you." She said blushing. "It's shtrue her shpagettis are aweshome!" Sweetie said with her mouth full. "Don't eat with your mouth full, Sweetie." Sweetie said OK and gulped the food. *KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK* "Rarity, It's Twilight, I have special news from Celestia." "8-bit could you let Twilight in?" "Sure." I said as I got up and cleaned the smudge of sauce in my lips with a napkin. I opened the door and there appeared Twilight reading one of the seven letters that levitated off the ground. "Hi, Twi." I said. She looked up and shrieked. "Oh my Celestia, 8-bit don't do that again" She said breathing in some air. "Anyway how are you feeling?" "Good, uh, come in." I said to her as I stepped aside. "Thanks." She said as she entered the house. "Twilight, darling, how are you?" Rarity said. "I'm fine but look at these invitation from Celestia." Twilight said as she gave Rarity her invitation. "This one is for you 8-bit." I opened the letter and this it what it said: Dear 8-bit, I heard that you saved a little filly from certain death, but received a taste of Death yourself. Those actions don't go unnoticed and unrewarded. This letter is an invitation to a royal ball at Canterlot. A carriage will pick all of you at 8:00 to take you here. Signed, Princess Celestia I couldn't believe my eyes. Celestia... THE Celestia invited me to a royal ball. Twilight and Rarity shrieked in happiness. "We'er going to a royal ball!!!" They both screamed. "Oh, I must get ready." Rarity said. "I'll go tell the others!" Twilight said sprinting out the door. "Oh my gosh. Come on 8-bit i got a little surprise for you." She said as she closed a drawer and opened another taking out a tuxedo with a rose and a... fedora. Damn i love those hats. "Here try this on.” she said giving me the clothes and hat. "Now all I need are my sunglasses." I said looking in my bag and putting the sunglasses on the fedora. "Hey big sis, can I come?" said Sweetie with a dress her size. "Pweaze?" She said puppy eyed. "No, that's going past your bedtime." Rarity said. "Oh, come on Rarity let her come." I said "Pweaze?" I said doing the same face as Sweetie. Rarity didn't last 5 seconds. " YAY!!!" Me and Sweetie screamed. 7:30P.M., Rarity's Boutique. "Ok, I'm ready." I said putting on my Fedora that had a White feather on the left side." Come on, Sweetie lets play Little Big Planet while Rarity finishes." "Ok!" She said as she went behind me. 25 minutes later... "Hey, Rarity, the carriage arrives in five minutes." I said. "I'm coming!" She said. "Sweetie turn the system off." I said as I walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water. "Ok." she said turning the ps3 off. I filled the glass with water. "Ah, water what would I do with out you." I thought drinking it. "OK I'm ready." Called Rarity. I came out the kitchen and when I saw her my jaw dropped to the ground. She was dressed in a sparkly purple dress and if i was correct a pair of stockings with a image of a rose. "Do you like it?" She asked. "Like it? I love it." I said. "Hey guys the carriage arrived!" Called Sweetie. I opened the door and let Sweetie and Rarity out first. As we climbed in the carriage everyone stopped chatting to greet us. Applejack had a cream colored dress. Rainbow had a blue short dress. Twilight was dressed like a school teacher at a school ball. Fluttershy had an impressive one the end of the dress reached her just above the hooves and was made of flowers and leaves. And Pinkie well... Pinkie's was too pink to describe. Half way to Canterlot they started to ask me questions. "So how does it feel to have scars?" Rainbow asked. "Well, it feels a little painful sometimes but not nothing I can't handle." "Can you see from the left eye?" Asked Applejack pointing at my milky white left eye. "No, I asked the doctor an that eye is dead i can only move it around, see?" I said as i moved it around. "Can I touch it?" Asked Fluttershy. "Uh, sure just be careful." I told her. "Of course." She said as she touched it. "Um, Excuse me," a guard said. "But we have arrived." I peeked outside and I saw a majestic palace, beyond mortal description. Inside were a few people dancing and such. "Come on lets go inside." Said Twilight. As we entered we were greeted by almost everyone. "Lets go see princess Celestia." Said Twilight. "My little ponies, how are you?" said Celestia behind us. "Oh, Celestia there you are we were just going to look for you. We are fine thank you." Celestia glanced at me. I started to get nervous. "Um, he-he-he-hello Princess" I stuttered as I bowed down. "Rise." I obliged. "You're 8-bit right?" "Y-y-y-yes." "Then enjoy your self, you deserve it." she said as she pointed at my scars. "Ok." And with that she left to greet the other guests. "*sigh* I've never been this nervous." "Don't worry it's your first time meeting royalty." Said Rarity caressing my cheek. "Your right. Now lets see if they have champagne." A few hours later. "Ok, 8-bit come on just tell her you wanna sing a song to your love life." I said to myself as I approached the singer. "Um, Excused me," The gray unicorn turned around. "Yeah I would like to Sing a song." "Yeah sure." "Ok, I'll sing the first few lines and you take over after the instrumental break, Ok?" "Yeah, but what do you want to sing?" I whispered the songs name in her ear. "Ooh that's a classic sure just let me tell the band, you just make a presentation." She said as she went back stage. "Ok lets do this." I said as i made it to the microphone. "*ahem*" Loud feedback. "Well that caught everyone's attention." The room burst into laughter " Well I just want to thank princess Celestia for throwing this great Ball." Everyone agreed. "Well I came up here to say, I'm going to sing a song to a specific white unicorn, that i fell in love the first time I saw her, her name's Rarity and this song is for you." As I finished A few ponies had appeared behind me with instruments in hoof. "We ready?" I said away from the mic. They nodded. "Ok, here goes nothin." As the saxophone started playing I took a deep breath and: "Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms would hold I heard somebody whisper, "please adore me" And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own (instrumental break) As the gray pony continued Rarity waited for me on the dance floor. We assumed a slow dance position and danced. "I didn't know you sing." She said. "I don't, I got lucky." I said. As we danced more people joined. "Please adore me" she whispered to me. As the song finished I held her close and said "I already am." END OF CHAPTER
Chapter 5Four months later I groaned as I got up for my bed. I walked over to Sweeties' room to check if the 4 fillies were still asleep. I peeked inside and they were. “Ok lets prepare breakfast.” I said walking down the stairs. Rarity was away with her friends at a two month cruise and I'm taking care of Sweetie, Scootaloo, Applebloom and this new kid named Squeak. I heard a door open and it was one of Sweetie Belle's friends that had woken up. “Hey there, Mr. 8!” Said Squeak with sleepiness in his voice. His coat was brown and he had a small mohawk which the tips were green and the rest black and his eyes were colored bright green. “Watcha cooking?” He said as he took a seat. “Scrambled eggs and hay.” I said scrambling the eggs. “Your up awfully early Squeak, it's...” I looked at the clock. “5:35.” “Scoots was snoring and she woke me up.” He said. “Say, 8-bit, how did you get those scars?” He asked. Damn, I hate it when ponies ask me that, they put the blame on the cat and not on the fire. “Well before I tell you, you must promise me you will not put the blame on the cat.” He held up a hoof. “I promise on behalf of the cutie mark crusaders that I will not put the blame on the cat.” “Ooookay. Well there was a fire here and...” I told him the story of how I got my scars. “...and that's how I got them.” “Ow sounds painfull.” “Oh trust me it was.” “Good morning, uncle 8-bit.” Said Sweetie Belle coming down the stairs with the rest of her friend behind her. “Smells delicious.”she said as she sat at the table. “Yeah mister smells like Celestia's chef has nothing on you.” Complimented Scootaloo as she sat next to Sweetie. “Yeah it smells better than my sister's apple pies.” Complimented Applebloom siting next to Squeak. “LIES” I wanted to yell. I winked at Squeak and mouthed “your getting the bigger plate.” “Compliment all you want, girls, Squeak is still getting the bigger plate.” I said to her and her friends. They all groaned except Squeak who whooped like a champion. I grabbed five plates, two big ones for me and Squeak and three medium sized ones for the rest. “Here you go guys, Bon Appetie.” I said giving every one their plates. “So I was thinking want to go to the park today?” Everyone looked at me like if I just offered them the key to the town. “YES!!” They screamed. “Ok well get ready at 12:00 p.m. and leave thirty minutes later, deal?” “Yeah!” They screamed again. 12:35p.m., Ponyville streets “And I was like, wow, and you were like am I right?” Said Scootaloo. She was talking about she could have gotten her brave cutie mark if she- *oooff* I bump into somepony hard. “Watch it freak.” Said a big strong voice. I looked up and there before was a huge earth pony looking down on me. I felt my left eye burning, why was it doing that. “I said, watch it freak.” He repeated only more menacingly. “Er, s-s-s-sorry, Butch.” I knew his name because we met in a super market when he tried steal the eggs I was about to buy. “Yeah you better.” He said as he passed me kicking dirt up so it would land on me. “Pfft, Flankhole.” I whispered so the kids wouldn't hear me. I got up dusted myself of and continued to the park. The next 30 minutes were followed by rants from Scootaloo being about why I didn't kick his flank. I told her that fighting would land me in the hospital again. “Ok were here.” I said marveling the park. We set a blanket on the ground and put the picknick basket on top. “Come back at 2 o' clock for lunch. Got it?” They nodded and started playing tag. I pulled out my glasses and the book Narnia and started reading. “Uncle 8-bit did you pack my frisbee?” “In my bag.” I said my eyes still glued to the adventure. “Ok thanks.” She took off. I put all my senses back at the story. Lions, witches and a magical wardrobe to a magical place, what else could you ask for? After a while of reading I decided to stop and sketch the environment a bit. “Uncle 8-bit!” Cried Sweetie with her friends looking sad behind her. “What happened?” I said with a worried face. “Diamont Tiara and Silver Spoon stole our frisbee.” She cried on my shoulder. “Oh those two snobs stole your frisbee I prepared for this.” I said taking out a few bits. “Your gonna pay them?!” They looked shocked. “Um no, now where's Twist?” I said. “She's over there, but what does...” Before Sweetie finished I was already next to Twist who was playing with insects. “Hey Twist.” I greeted her with a goofy smile. “Hi there mithter 8-bit,what brings you here?” She said. “Well I was wondering, how much do you hate DT and SS??” “I hate them so much I want to prank them.” She said looking angry. I kneeled next to her and put 5 bits down. “You want me to burn them?!” She said surprised. “NO! Not that, I want you to...” I explained her the plan. “Oh thith. Will. Be. Awethome.” She said rubbing her hooves together. “Excuse me ladies,” I said to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. “I believe you have one of Sweetie Bells' frisbees would you mind giving it back.” They started laughing. I motioned to Twist who was standing a few from their picknick basket to start. She crept to the basket and dumped an entire bottle of cockroaches in the basket. “Oh that's rich mister but whatever lands on this blanket is mine.” Said Diamond. “Oh really then you must love cockroaches.” I said with a grin. “What cock- Oh my Celestia, Diamond run save yourself!!” Said Silver Spoon as she saw a little cockroach next to her. They both ran away screaming “Daddy, daddy help me!!”. Me and Twist started to laugh. ”Hahahahaha*snort* wow mister that wath awethome.” She said pucking up the cockroaches. “Hey Twist if you want you could hang out with us.” I said. “Oh thankth mithter but my mom ith probably wondering were I am tho bye.” She said waving at me. I picked up the frisbee and went back to Sweetie Belle and the others. “Hey guys I got your frisbee back!” “Yay!” They said with their moth full of food. “You guys started to eat without me how could you?” I said sitting next to them. “Don't worry mister 8-bit we saved some for you.” Said Squeak handing me a plate. “So what did you do to SS and DT?” He asked bouncing.” I told them what me and Twist did. “They deserved it.” Said Applebloom. “Now, now, Applebloom you don't go around wishing bad to people.” I explained. “Now lets rest for a while so you don't feel like puking.” I said as I lied down on the blanket. I pulled out my sketch pad and started drawing the scenery. After while things calmed down a bit the fillies were playing truth or there the birds were chirping a- WHOMP “Ow damn that hurt.” I said, I looked around to see what hit me, it was a football. “Uncle 8-bit are you ok?” Asked Sweetie Belle as she stood next to me. “Hey freakshow give me my ball back!” I turned around and saw Butch yelling at me. That burning sensation I felt earlier came back only a little bit weaker. I came to were Butch was and gave him his ball back. “Thanks freak why don't you go back to your little blank flank friends.” He said. The burning sensation in my eye grew.even stronger. Every inch of my body wanted to beat him to death right here but I hold my ground. I turned around and as I was leaving I heard this: “Why are you so mean to uncle 8-bit?!” I turned and saw Sweetie Belle confronting Butch. “Hey look another freak,” he said pointing his hoof at her scarred cheek. “go back to the ring leader or I'll hurt you.” He said pointing at me. She gave him raspberries. As Butch lifted his hoof to hit her I felt as if timed slowed down. “Well do something.” I said to myself. I sprinted and grabbed Butch's shirt by the collar. The fire I felt in my left eye was full on but it felt good, really good. “Don't you lay a hoof on her.” I said through gritted teeth. “Your a useless son of a bitch you know that?” He struggled but it was in vain. “If I catch you offending her or her friend like calling them blank flank I will personally beat you to a pulp. Got it?” I let go of him. He was scared crapless, don't know why though. As I turned to Sweetie Belle the fire in my left eye quickly died down. She looked scared as if she just saw a monster. “I'm sorry you had to see that, sport.” I said as I hugged her. She broke down to tears. “Hey, hey don't cry nothing happened to you, why you crying?” “Thank you*sniff* for not letting him*sniff* hurt me.” She mumbled in tears. “Shh,shh don't worry, don't worry, want to go home?” She nodded. “Ok well go home just let me clean everything up, ok?” She nodded again. “Hey kiddos were going home.” I called to the others. “What in the hay happened?” Said Applebloom. “She's fine but I had to get really rough with a pony before he hurt her.” I explained. “Put everything in the basket and lets go.” Rarity's Boutique, 9:00p.m. I opened my eyes to see Sweetie standing in the door. “Hey what happened, sport, Scootaloo snoring again.” She shook her head. “Nightmares.” She said. “Can I sleep with you?” I made room for both of us and started to caress her hair. “Hey, my mom used to sing me a song that always made the nightmare go away, want me to sing it to you?” She nodded. “ Hush now, my baby Be still love, don't cry Sleep like you're rocked by the stream Sleep and remember My lullaby And I'll be with you when you dream Drift on a river That flows through my arms Drift as I'm singing to you I see you smiling So peaceful and calm And holding you, I'm smiling, too Here in my arms Safe from all harm Holding you, I'm smiling, too Hush now, my baby Be still, love, don't cry Sleep like you're rocked by the stream Sleep and remember this river lullaby And I'll be with you when you dream I'll be with you when you dream And with that we both fell asleep. AUTHOR'S NOTE I have to admit I was crying manly tears when I started reviewing the song. Anyway I hope I'm getting better at this writing thing but I'll leave you guys to decide that.
Chapter 6 part 1The next day. I woke up to find all of the cutie mark crusaders (exept Scootaloo) sleeping in my bed. “Does Scootaloo really snore that much?”As I got closer to were Scootaloo was sleeping I could make out that Scoots really did snore loudly. “Dayum. She really does snore loud. “Well better make some breakfast.” I walked down the stairs and saw somepony At the door. “umm, goodmorning.” I said as I opened the door. “Hello there,” said the blond pony. “I have some mail for you.” She said as she gave me a purple covered letter. “Umm, thanks.” I said. “No problem sir.” Then she flew away. I closed the door as I looked at the envelope. To: my two loved ones <3 “Who was that?”,asked Sweetie Belle. The voice startled me. “Oh the mailpony, hey kiddo I think Rarity sent us a letter.” She came down the stairs and sat on my lap and I started to read: Dear Sweetie and 8-bit, I hope you guys are having fun time with each other and the CMC. I miss you guys so much. I have to keep this brief because I'm going to the spa and must get ready. Oh and Pinkie Pie said Hi. Bye I'll be back next week. “Uncle 8-bit, I miss Big sis.” She said as she hugged me. “I miss her too sport.” I said as I caressed her mane. “Now let me prepare you guys some breakfast.” I said as I neared the kitchen. As I finished the bacon I heard Sweetie sniffing. “Is everything alright sport?” I called. As she came inside the kitchen I could tell she was at the verge of tears. “Hey what's wrong?” I said as I turned off the stove amd opened my arms for a hug. “Why did he call us that 8-bit, why?” She said as tears rolled down her eyes. “Why did he call us freaks?” My mind went back to yesterday when Butch was calling her and her friends blank flanks and freaks. “Well he just wanted us to be ashamed of our selves,” I explained to her. “ but these are what make us different or special.” I said as I pointed at our scars. “How many ponies have cared for you since you got the scars?” “Well everyone except that mean pony.” She said as she sniffed. “See? Ponies like that just want to see you fall down but never let anyone tell you your not special. Now turn that frown upside down.” She smiled. “Thank you.” She gave me a warm hug. “No problem, now tell your friends breakfast is ready.” “Ok!” She said as she hopped up the stairs. “And then I tell her now your just a pony that I used to know.” Said Applebloom as she finished the joke. Every one started laughing. Except me because I was washing the dishes. “Ok guys settle down.” I said as I took a seat. “ Today I'm going to let you guys choose what were gonna do today.” Everything went silent. “Ok CMC huddle up.” Scootaloo said breaking the silence. They were snickering for five minutes now. “Ok mister 8-bit we wanna go camping.” Said Squiek. “Sounds like a plan but were gonna need camping gear.” I said. “Not a problem, big sis has a tent big enough for all of us.” Said Sweetie Belle with a big grin. “Ok then lets get some smores, water, crakers, mosquito repellents, lamps and other supplies.” I said. Everyone started moving fast while collecting the supplies. “Ok all this in under an hour, this is good.” I said as I dropped a firs aid kit box in the supplies bag. Camping site, 5:00 p.m. “Ok Applebloom, Squeak and Scoots you guys set up camp Sweetie and me will look for fire wood.” Everypony got to work. As minutes passed me and Sweetie got enough fire wood and headed our way back to camp. “C'mon Sweetie it's getting dark.” I said looking at the sky. It was probably around 5:40. “Coming uncle 8-bit.” She said as she struggled with her wood. As we got everything was in order. Scootaloo was doing the finishing touches to the tent. Applebloom brought a few apples from a nearby tree and Squeak was setting up rocks were the fire will be. “Ok lets build the camp fire.” I said as I dropped the sticks in the pebble circle. “I finally did it!!” I screamed with joy as I finally ignited the camp fire. It had been close to an hour since I started to light up this thing. “Ok,” I said as I pulled out my guitar. “now any of you want me to sing you a song?” “Ooooh, ooooh” said Applebloom as she raised her hoof like a school filly. “I heard this one from my sis its titled Heart aches by the numbers.” “Ok. Here goes.” I said as I strummed the guitar. Heartaches by the number Troubles by the score Everyday you love me less Each day I love you more Yes, I've got heartaches by the number A love that I can't win But the day that I stop counting That's the day my world will end Heartache number one was when you left me I never knew that I could hurt this way And heartache number two Was when you come back again You came back but never meant to stay Yes, I've got heartaches by the number Troubles by the score Everyday you love me less Each day I love you more Yes, I've got heartaches by the number A love that I can't win But the day that I stop counting That's the day my world will end Heartache number three Was when you called me And said that you were comin' back to stay With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door I waited but you must have lost your way Yes, I've got heartaches by the number Troubles by the score Everyday you love me less Each day I love you more Yes, I've got heartaches by the number A love that I can't win But the day that I stop counting That's the day my world will end After a few songs they got tired and decided to go to sleep. “Ok good night kiddos.” I poked the fire for several minutes and then I heard rustling nearby. I pulled my knife. “Who's there?” A figure appeared and crept closer. “You can keep thou weapon sheathed.” Said a voice. I sheathed the knife and out stepped an black colored Alicorn with mane as dark as the night sky. “Princess Luna! I'm sorry I didn't know it was you.” I bowed down. “Not to worry young pegasus everypony make mistakes.” She said. “So what are you doing here?” I ask her. ” I was looking for you actually.” She said. “I'd like to discuss somethings with you. Come lets go for a walk.” I gulped. As we walked the night felt quiet. “8-bit I heard what you did in the park.” “How did you know?” “Well the pony that calls himself Butch came to my sister today and said that you verbally harassed him, is this true?” “Yes I did,” I said. “But did he tell you what HE called me and the fillies, What he almost did to Sweetie Belle?” “He told us that he accidentally threw a ball at you and you went berserk and verbally abused him.” “Typical.” I said coldly. “He lied to you Princess, to you and your sister.” “That's why my sister send me here to get more proof.” She said. “Now tell me your part.” “Well we were just finishing our picknick when he 'accidentally' threw a foot ball.” “Yes, continue.” She said. “Well he started calling us freaks and blank flanks,” I said, tears filling up in my eyes and a knot in my throught. “ that's when Sweetie Belle stood up for me. Just as she finished giving him raspberries he raised his hoof to hit her. I ran and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and and slammed him against a tree.” “And that's when you insulted him?” “Yeah...” I started to get a feeling something bad was going to happen. “And do you have proof?” “Otherwise than being a victim myself I got the fillies too if you'd like to-” A scream for help could be heard. “Ahhhhhh! Uncle 8-bit help!!” That was Sweetie Belle's voice. “Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.” I repeated as me and Luna made our way to the camp. The camp was empty everything was stolen even the kids. A note was inside the tent. If you want too see the brats again bring 200 gold to our cave to the south east. Luna leaned beside me and read the note. “I'll get the royal guard.” “I'll take care of this.” I said grabbing a few more knives. “Your going to kill them?!” She said baffled. “Who said anything about killing? I'll just scare them shitless.” I said strapping knives on my belt. “Now, pass me those ketchup packs.” END OF PART ONE.
Chapter 6 part 2“Ok Luna, you ready?” I said to her as we sneaked around a few bushes. The bandit cave was insight, and only one pony was patrolling the entrance. “I am ready but you are not.” As I turned around I saw Luna levitating some kind of armor. As I slipped it on I felt strange and started to levitate. “Luna what's going on?” I said scared. “Do not worry it is the armor's binding process.” I felt shadows wrapping me up. I passed out. I awoke a few minutes later, the armor I was wearing was completely different. This one was completely black, it has spikes coming frome the shoulder plates and gauntlets, it was hard enough to resist a killing blow and light enough to sneak around quietly. “How does it feel?” Luna asked. “It feels... Nice” I said strapping the left gauntlet a little tighter. “You sure are giving me a lot of protection, I thought we were gonna fight some petty bandits?” “Well as a wise pony once said 'It is better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it'. Now I must go and tell the royal night guard.” As she was about to take off she turned her head back. “Good luck.” I said thanks and turned my attention back to the cave. The pony who was supposed to be guarding the cave was asleep. “Ok time to strike.” As I crouched I felt a tingling in my body, I looked down and I saw... Nothing? I had completely disappeared. “Cool.” I said as I crept close to the guard. “Wake up.” I whispered in his ear “No mom I don't want to go to school, mr. Ruler is mean.” “Wake up!” As he opened his eyes I cocked a punch and hit him square in the eye. “Ok now were are the ketchup packs?” I dug through my satchel and pulled a few out and started to cover my right cheek, my knife and his body in ketchup. “Lets hope this works. I made my way deeper in the cave (carrying the bandit) and I could hear Applebloom sobbing and Squeak was trying to resist. “You know mister 8 will kill you for this” Squeak growled. “Hah, that loser, what's he gonna do, scare me to death?” That voice sounded awefully familiar. “You really think that freak's gonna bring us the dough?” Said another bandit. I heard a chair moving and somepony sitting on it. “Don't worry he will, he'll do anything for these brats.“ said the familiar sounding one. I slowly dropped the bandit that I was carrying on the ground and crept closer to were the kids were trapped in. “Hey kiddos.” I whispered as I stood up the other to bandits were to busy on their poker game to notice me. “Uncle 8-bit is that you?” Sweetie whispered. Everyone looked at me scared. I realized it must be the ketchup. “Don't worry it's just ketchup.” I explained. They breathed a sigh of relief. “Did *sniff* y'all come to rescue us?” asked Applebloom. I nodded. “Now,” I picked up the knocked out bandit. “Now follow my lead.” I got in position, made the most evil grin I could and dropped the pony hard on the floor. *thump* I heard chairs dropping. “What the hell was that?” Said one of the bandits. “Must be Stiffy coming down with the freak. Yo Stiffy that you?” “No, just the 'freak'” I said. I saw them appear a few feet away from me. “I think he might be dead.” “Oh shit, what do you want?” Asked one of them. “What I want?” I scoffed as I looked at the knife that was covered in “Blood”. “What I want is for you to give me those kids back.” I pointed my knife at them. “Yo man, take it easy well let them go just don't kill us. Joey open the door!” Said the familiar sounding one to the other pony. Joey opened the door and out stepped the fillies, Sweetie conforting Applebloom and Scoots and Squeak sticking their tongues out. “Anything else?” said the unnamed pony. “Yeah, take off your masks.” I said. They both agreed and took of their masks. Joey came first. Then came the other one. If I hadn't been filled with anger I would have fainted. The other pony was Butch. It took every cell in my body not to throw the knife I had in my hoof in his face. “Now please give us Stiffy back.”” said Joey. I threw him still uncountious Stiffy and motioned the kids to retreat. Joey leaned over him and checked if he still had a pulse. “Hey Butch, Stiffy is still alive.” As Stiffy woke up he told them that I was here. They all turned around to face us but we already were running to the exit. “GET THEM!!” I heard Butch scream. “Oh crap. Please Luna be outside” I prayed. As we made it outside only the cold night was there to greet us. “Now we got you.” I heard a sinister voice behind us. We turned around and saw Butch and his friends with pocket knives. I shielded the fillies. ”You-” I was cut of by somepony. “In the name of Princess Luna you are under arrest.” Yelled one of the Night guards. “Oh crap, back in the cave.” Yelled Butch. “Stop right there.” We heard a booming voice. The Night guards bowed down. “Princess Luna.” As the three bandits turned around they saw Luna behind them. “Princess it's not what it looks like.” Said Butch. A few minutes later. As Butch and his gang went on their way to prison Nurse Readheart tended to The CMC. “Excuse me nurse but are they ok?” I asked. “Oh yes, just some minor scrapes and bruises they should be fine in a day or two.” She smiled and went back into medical carriage. “Have a good night.” “Well try.” I felt a tap on my shoulder. I tuned around and saw Luna staring at me. “That was pretty ingenuous of you to use tomato juice as a replacement to blood.” She complemented. “Well I use that as a prank. Didn't think a prank would help in life.” “Can I have the armor back?” She said. I grinned. “I'm still wearing it, am I?”. She nodded. I took off the armor and handed it to her. “Thanks.” “Your welcome. So I have to leave, so I'll be seeing you.” “Wait Luna, I need a favor.” I whispered the idea in her ear. “Ooh, I'd love to do that, when will you do this?” “I'll send you a message. Ok?” She nodded quite happily and flew off to Celestia knows were. I turned my attention to the fillies. “So you guys want to keep camping or go home? There still some smores left.” “I still wanna go camping, how 'bout it Crusaders?” Said Squeak. They all screamed in joy as we headed back to the camp site.
Chapter 7Five months later “Rarity are you sure?” I said as I showed her the video game that read: Left 4 Dead 2. “This game has extreme gore.” Me and my friends, Trail Blazer and Chip, decided to have a game night tonight so we decided to play zombie games. “8-bit it's fine I can handle it.” She said reassuring me as she sat next to me in the couch. “Ok, don't say I didn't warn ya.” I said as I turned my head to the mic. “Guys you there?” “Yep I'm here.” Said Trail Blazer. “Yesh I'm here.” Said Chip while munching on... well, chips. “Ok so change of plans,” I looked at Rarity, she gave me a warm smile. “the game will be a 4 player game, ok?” “Ok no prob my man.” Said Trail Blazer, he sounded like he was adjusting he's mic. “Pshhh. A noob I bet.” Said Chip a bit of bitterness in his voice. “Lay off Chip,” Said Trail Blazer, ahh good ol' Trail Blazer always there for me. “Now, 8, tell us who is he?” “Well that he is a she and my marefriend.” I said prideful. All that pride went away went Chip started laughing. “What are you laughing about?” “Hahahaha... Oh, oh my... I-I didn't know you were gay... Hahahaha.” Said Chip gasping for air. “Wait your gay?” Said Trail Blazer in amazement. “Celestiadammit.” I cursed as I pulled out my cellphone. “Rarity. Pose. Now.” Rarity sticked out her tongue and winked. I took pics and send them to Trail Blazer and Chip. A few seconds later two faint rings came from the backround. “Dayum, 8, she hawt.” Said Trail Blazer. I saw Rarity blush. ”Pfft Fake and Gay.” Said Chip. “Well you can stick it up your-” “Umm, baby, can I have the mic for a sec.” Said Rarity taking the mic from my head. “Listen you, you better start believing I'm real or your in for mayor whoop flank.” She gave me back the mic. “Now you believe me?” “Yes.” Said Chip. “Umm guys can we start playing?” said Trail Blazer annoyed. “I'm choosing Nick.” “I'll be Coach.” Declared Chip. “I'll be Ellis and Rarity will be Rochelle.” I said giving Rarity the controller. “Ok... Level: Dark Carnival... difficulty: expert annnd begin. As the level loaded I gave the basics to Rarity, how to do a 180, how to shoot, move, aim and shove. “I'll tell you more as we continue.” AUTHOR'S NOTE ok this part of the story is going to be shifting between the POV of Ellis and 8-bit. So when ever you see the little line I made, the point of view has changed. END OF AUTHOR'S NOTE “Guys can I have a second alone with the car I just uh, I gots somethings that need sayin'” I said as I stared down Jimmy Gibbs stock car. “I just wanted you to know that you are the most beautiful thing I ever sat between.” I said as I caressed the car. “I love you.” I whispered as I gave it a hug. “Ooookay, everypony grab a weapon!” Yelled Nick. Me and Coach grabbed our shotguns and Nick chose the silenced uzi. I saw Rochelle having problems choosing so I helped her. “Having trouble Rarity?” I said. “I don't know which one to choose.” She said. “Well let me explain.” “Oh yeah, listen to your coltfriend, he sure as hay gives awesome advice.” Said Chip, he sounded impatient. “As I was saying, you have to choose between this two weapons to fight off the infected. Let me explain, the shotgun is my favorite because it has a wide spread and can take multiple enemies at once the downside is that you have to reload each shell individually. Now the sub machine gun is accurate but not it hasn't got enough fire power to best the shotgun but what the sub machine gun lacks in power it makes up in speed.” I finished. “I'll go with the sub machine gun. Oh and what are those red backpacks?” “Those are health kits they restore your health, don't unless its an emergency. There are also pain pills and adrenaline that give you a temporary health boost.” As I explained it to her she grabbed her sub machine gun and health kit and continued onward. “Whispering Oaks? I used to go there when I was a kid.” Said Coach excitedly. “Oh good, now we can die there as adults.” Nick said. As we climed on top of a car we saw a sea of cars infront of us. “The cars go on for miles!” Yelled Rochelle “Maybe they left them when they got rescued.” Replied Coach “That's... One theory.” Said Nick. As we mowed our way through zombies we came across a motel. “Whispering Oaks Motel? Sheeeet I know were we are.” Said Coach as he daydreamed. “Ok guys lets split up, Coach and me will go on the low road and Ellis and Rochelle will go up the billboard.” We all nodded and me and Rochelle started to climb the hill. As we climbed on the billboard I shot a few more zombies and spotted a sniper. “How does this work?” Ask Rarity. “That's a sniper it's very accurate and way more powerful than the shot gun. The snipers are my personal favorite, they can be handy to take out smokers.” “What's a smoker?” As Rochelle was being dragged away I aimed the sniper to the smoker's head and shot it. As I covered my nose to help she said thank you and grabbed a sniper. As we climbed down the stairs Nick and Coach were waiting for us at the bottom. “You guys ok?” Asked Coach. “Had a bit of trouble with a smoker but nopony got hurt.” I said. “You guys?” “We didn't even fight our way in there are no zombies here.” Said an outraged Nick. “We better keep going.” Rochelle said taking a head start. “Hey guys I'm sleepy I'll play with you guys some other time.” Said a yawning Chip. “Kay, see ya.” I said. As we moved through the motel we heard heavy breathing and grunting. “Must be a Tank,” said Coach. “Keep your eyes and ears open.” I picked up some explosive rounds and placed them on the floor for everypony to take. “Frag rounds here.” Everypony picked them up and continued through the motel. As we climbed out the window we felt the ground shaking. “Shitshitshit.” I repeated. “Man this about to be all baghdad and shit.” Said Coach loading his shotgun. “Man up we got a Tank!” Screamed Nick. Everypony started to shoot the gigantic thing, it was just making him angry. I then saw a gas can. “Wait here guys.” Coach saw what I was doing and covered me. I picked up the gas can and jump through the window. I threw the gas can at him and shot it. He bursted to flames. “Everypony run!!” I yelled. Everyone started to run to the back of the motel and slide down the ravine. We shot a few infected but the Tank was still on our heels. As we climed a hill I saw the gates to heaven. “WHISPERING OAKS! Me made it.” I screamed with joy. All that was cut when I heard moaning. A few feet infront of me sat a mare crying. “Shit witch!” I whispered. As we slid past her we still heard the thundering thumps of the tank. As the hulking beast came to us we couldn't shoot it because we would disturb the witch. Then the funniest thing happened. The tank toom a few steps foward got to his knees and landed on the witch, we heard the witch scream and then bones crushing. “Dam thats gotta hurt.” said Coach with a victory whoop. “Hey guys safe house.” Said Nick. “8-bit man I'm sorry but I'm about to pass out I need my sleep.” Said Trail Blazer. “But we jusy passed the first level.” I said. “Yeah after six tries.” “Ok,ok made your point see ya.” I said as I turned the system off. I felt a soft weight in my crotch. Rarity was resting her head there. ”Your friends are nice, well exept for that Chip fellow.” She said. I started to play with her hair, that beautiful, long, purple hair. “Yea he may act all tough but hes a real nice guy.” She sat up, sat on my lap and we started making out. We pressed our tongues together mine trying to invade hers and vice versa, after a while she broke the kiss. “Take me 8-bit, please.” She whispered in my ears. I was baffled. “Here? But what if-” “Not here our room.” “Ohh.” I carried her to our bed and we started making out only more passionately. “8-bit I need you inside me now.” She said. As my cock started to grow I opened her legs, she was super wet in there. I poked the head of my member inside her. “Don't tease me.” She moaned. “You don't have to tell me twice.” I said as I grabbed her hips and started to screw her. “Wait!” She said. I was nervous, had I hurt her? She reached for a drawer and pulled out a condom. I breathed a sigh of relief. She only wanted safe sex. “I don't want a filly just yet.” She said smiling. I nodded, put on the condom and started to screw her again. We both moaned with pleasure. I looked at her eyes, her beautiful, big eyes, I felt like I was fucking a godess. She caressed my cheeks and started to kiss me, my hips were still thrusting inside her. She brought me in closer. “I'm about to cum.” She whispered. “Good cause I am too.” I let out a smile. “Oh, 8-bit yes make me cum.” She said with a dirty smile. My thrusts were faster now I was determined to make her cum. She moaned louder with each thrust. “8-bit... Ahh, I'm about to cum!” We groaned as we came at the same time. We were both breathing heavily. “I call dibs on the shower.” She said as she got up from the bed and made a run for it. I got up from the bed and before dumping the condom on the trashcan I checked if it had holes in it, luckily it had no holes. I breathed a sigh of relief. As I waited for my turn on the shower I smiled. “Ok 8-bit you turn.“ Rarity said as she closed the door. I quickly got up and made a run for the bathroom. After cleaning myself and my teeth I went back to Rarity's room and slept next to her and whispered in her ear: “Good night, my love.”
Chapter 3AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'll be changing the view of the story to 1st person. Why? Cause I damn well please, now keep reading. END OF NOTE. Darkness. All I could see was darkness. “Hello?” I called. “Anypony here?” “8-bit...” Said a soft whisper. My body tensed and I started the get scared. Did that voice sound like me? “8-bit turn around, would you?” Said the voice now clearer. I turned around and what I saw I couldn't comprehend. I saw myself but my left eye was incredibly scared, it was like... I don't know 6 inches long and his iris was pure white. My... I mean his... the other me's snout had 3 slashes in it. He was also slightly burned on his right shoulder. “Scary, isn't it?” The other me said. I nodded.“So, uh how did you get them?” I asked, trying not to sound scared. “Oh, fire, panic, and a cat don't mix well, trust me we've been through that.” He said with a smirk.“But enough about that, lets talk about my purpose here...” He said as he took 2 chairs that appeared out of nowhere.“Now sit.” I sat faster than rainbow dash flying. “Ok, lets get to the point.” He said as he grabbed 2 tea cups. That too came out of nowhere, he offered one to me. “Uh, no thanks, got any water.” I said rejecting the tea. “Yes.” A long, awkward silence followed.“ What, you want me to spawn one for you? There is a fridge over there.” He said pointing his hoof beyond me were a fridge lied. As I got back to my seat with my water bottle I wondered if I was gong crazy. “No, you're not going crazy,” he said as I snapped back to reality. Was he reading my mind. “You do notice we are the same person, right?” I nodded finally realizing. “Now back to the business at hoof.” he said as he rubbed his two hooves together. “You've just developed a sixth sense to detect danger that's all, kind of like a spidey sense.” “Hmm, sounds kinda coo-” “But,” There's always a but, isn't there. “With that blessing comes a heavy burden.” “Wh-what burden?” I stammered nervously. “All in good time.” He said as he presented a crazy looking grin in my face. I then noticed he also had a scar in his left side of his lips. “Well I think it's about time you wake up.” He said as he looked at his pocket clock. “From your coma that is.” The water I was drinking just fell out of my mouth. “Im in a coma?” “Yeah but only for a week or two.” He said as he was preparing some kind of potion. “Now drink this.” He said giving me the potion. “This will take you back.” I gulped it in one go. The Hospital. I woke up. As I opened my eyes I saw the most cutest sight. Rarity was reading to Sweetie Belle. “Rarity...” My voice came real low kind of an old pony's voice. “Rarity...” I called a little higher. She turned her head up. Her eyes were red, maybe because she was crying, and she didn't have any make up on. “Rarity...” This time it was my normal voice. As I saw her face lit up with joy she woke up Sweetie from her half sleep-half awake trance and they both runned to me. “Uncle 8-bit you woke up!!” She screamed as she leaped to me. I'll tell ya something she may look like a marshmallow, but she sure as hay didn't weight like one. She landed square on my chest. As she turned around to her right side I saw something that made my heart stop. She had a scar on her right cheek, not a big one though. As I turned to Rarity she kissed me on the lips very passionately. “EWWWW!” Groaned Sweetie Belle. “No kissy infront of the filly.” I smirked. Rarity broke the kiss. “Sweetie, darling, tell the others Uncle 8-bit has finally woken up.” “OK.” She said jumping off the bed and leaving the room. “So, I suppose you want me to tell you why you have those bandages.” “What Bandages?” I said as I grabbed a mirror on a nearby desk. As I looked into the mirror I saw what she meant. Most of my face was bandages. The only parts of my face that weren't covered were: my right eye, my mouth and my ears. I took good long look at my self and put the mirror were I found it. “The doctor said they were gonna remove the bandages tomorrow.” She said getting all teary eyed. “Hey, why so sad? I just woke up from a coma and now your crying?” Holding my arms out for a comforting hug (which she gladly accepted). “Well, as you probably remember, it started at my house fire a month ago...” A MONTH!?! Why that no good lying son of a gun. Wait did just offend my self? A few minutes later... “...and then you went through my front door carrying Opal and Sweetie Belle but you were covered in cuts and blood and then you collapsed on the floor.” She began crying as she said those last words. All I could do was be suprised. I never knew I had the courage to save somepony under that kind of pressure. I held her close to me trying hard to console her. “Don't worry I'm alive so there is no need to worry.” She gave me a warm grin. Then she pecked me on the lips. *ahem* Rarity and I turned to see all my friends here. “Hope we're not interupting.” Said Twilight carrying a few books with her horn. “No of course not.” I said as me and Rarity blushed. “Good, 'cause we brought presents!!” Said Pinkie Pie jumping up high enough to touch the ceiling. “What presents?” Isaid looking at them. “These ones.” Said Applejack rolling a cart full of stuff. Twilight presented her presents first. “I found a few books in my library, and I thought they might interest you.” She said as she laid down 3 books which were: Narnia, Darklife and Nordic verses. “Thank you Twilight.” I said taking the books. “Don't mention it.” Next came Spike. “Here I bought you this.” He said as he gave me a daedric sword. I thought I was going to faint. “Wow, Spike! Thanks.” I said examining the sword “Yeah, yeah no problem.” He said as he positioned himself next to Twilight. “OOH, I want to be next!” Said Pinkie as she positioned a huge basked filled with cupcakes of all types of flavor. My mouth watered as a thank you. “'Kay I thinks is mah turn to present my present” Said Applejack as she lifted up a an acoustic guitar. “Homemade” she said as she gave me the guitar. I couldn't thank her enough for this. “No thanks is necessary.” She said giving me a small bump on my left shoulder. Next came Fluttershy. “Here I made this for you.” She said as she gave me a sweater. “Rarity helped.” “Oh so this gift is from both of you?” I asked. “No, baby, I'll give you my present when everyone else finishes.” Rarity said caressing my right cheek. “Oh, well thank you Fluttershy.” I said. “No problem.” She said as she went back were she was. “Ok my turn.” Said Rainbow dash.“ I got you something thats 20% cooler than any of these gifts combined.” She took out a brown package. “Hope you like it.” As I opened the package I started saying in my mind that this was probably a prank or a picture of her. Boy was I wrong. It was probably the most awesome video game collection in ponykind. The Orange Box. As I opened the case all that happiness burned away. There was a note taped were the disk should have been, it said: “Gottcha >:p” As I closed the tray she started laughing. “Well, actually Rainbow, the jokes on you,” Rarity said as she saw the note. “why would you buy a game and keep the disk for your self if you don't have the console?” Rainbow looked as if she was about to blow a fuse. “Fine I'll get the disk. I'll be back in ten seconds flat.” She said as she flew out the hospitals window. 10 seconds later... “Here.” Rainbow said giving me the disk. “Thank you Rainbow.” I said sticking out my tongue. “It looks like it's my turn, come Sweetie lets give uncle 8-bit his gift.” Rarity said as she reached for her gift. “Your going to like this Uncle 8-bit.” Sweetie said as she jumped in my bed. “Here, baby, hope you like it.” Said Rarity giving me an bright blue present. As I opened the box a drawing of me and Rarity with little hearts around us. There was a signature that said: By Sweetie Belle. I got teary eyed. Below the drawing was another box although it was a bit smaller. The box read: HANDEL WITH CARE, FALLOUT COMIC-CON. I carefully opened the box. What was in it was beyond description. It was a Pip-Boy 3000. “How did you get this? This is almost impossible to get.” I said “I know, it was hard but anything for my lover,”she said putting the device on my wrist. “Now check the notes menu, I put something special for you.” I checked the notes section, there were two notes. The first one was a picture of the party when me and Rarity were doing a slow dance that had a kiss mark in the corner of the pic. The other one was a poem that read: “Night was new-throned in Equestria and we did rove Together in the cool and shadowless haze That thickened round, at the wild stars to gaze Ere yet the moon’s red rim had showed above The pine-trees. For in both our souls did move The same fond lover-fancy,—that their rays Were richer for all those who from the ways Of man's long past had looked at them in love; And when our glances through their midst did run From orb to orb of all that seemed most fair, To fix at last with mutual heed on one That gloried in the West beyond compare, It seemed to us that when the day was done, The spirit of our joy was mansioned there.” “Rarity this is beautiful.” I said as tears rolled down my eyes. Curse this manly tears. “Thanks, darling, creating poems is my second hobby.” She said caressing my cheeks. “*ahem*, Excuse me,” said a nurse in the doorway. “You guys have 5 five minutes, the patients need some sleep.” “Oh, ok.” Said Twilight.“Come on girls lets leave 8-bit to his rest.” “You guys go on, I'll catch up.” Rarity said. “Twi can you take Sweetie for a moment, I need to talk to 8-bit.” “Yeah, sure,” Twilight turned to Sweetie Belle. “C'mon Sweetie Belle, lets go for a walk.” “Ok!” She said as she gave me a kiss on the cheek and bounced off the bed. “So, you saw Sweetie's scar?” Said Rarity as she sitting beside me. “Yeah, how did she get it?” I said as I got comfy. “Well as you collapsed on the ground I saw Sweetie's right cheek bleeding and I asked her what happened, then she said she tried to get Opal off you when she tried the cat scratched her.” She finished Almost crying. “And what about Opal?” I asked a bit nervous about what she may say. “Oh, her, she's in a deep time out.” She said with a hint of anger in her voice. “No gourmet treatment and cage for a 2 months.” I breathed a sigh of relief. I thought she was going to take her to the pound. “Excuse me, lady, but visiting times are over.” Said the nurse. “Oh, ok, well, see you tomorrow?” She said. “Only if you won't get scared by the scars.” I said with a big grin. “I promise.” She said as she kissed me. “Bye.” I said. “Bye. Love you.” She said as she left the room. “Love you to-” I was cut of as a grey pegasus busted through the window. “WHO IN CELESTIA'S GREEN EQUESTRIA ARE YOU?” “Name's Derpy. I have a letter for you from a siiiir... elrafa22, what a silly name.” She said as she gave me the letter. ”Well gotta go!” And she left as quickly as she came. “Ooookay. Wierd. And who the hay is Elrafa22. Well then, Lets open this up.” I said as I opened the letter. Out came a huge bag of bits and a letter saying: “This is for you 8-bit dont waste it all in one place.DO NOT REPLY.” “Wow sir elrafa, that's kind of you.” I said as I folded the paper threw it at the garbage basket. “Now lets see if the radio works on this thing.” I said as I searched for the radio section. “Blue Moon” started to play. Oh man, this is my favorite song. “ Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms would hold I heard somebody whisper, "please adore me" And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own...” I fell asleep knowing I was no longer alone. END OF CHAPTER.
