Chapters "WAKE UP someone's coming" Rick who had a jean jacket on with a black watch black hair and was dark gray was poking at Paul who was white, had a golden watch on with blue hair slowly got up and was looking around.
"Where's Gavin?" Paul asked Rick looked at Paul " i don't know " Paul looked at Rick with a small smile " then maybe it's him"
"I don't think so " they then saw a yellow pony with pink hair very shy looking and had a small smile on her face
" who are you guys?" She asked In a small voice barely able to hear "who the hell are you?" Rick asked he then realized who he was talking to
" fluttershy?" Rite when he said her name they heard footsteps behind them and turned around to see Gavin he was black with red hair nothing else to him he looked at them and smiled " hi"
Rick instantly knew what he was doing and smiled it was a joke from when they were younger " I fucking hate you Gavin" while he was laughing fluttershy was only confused
" who are you and how did you get here? And how did you know my name?" Paul looked at her up and down
" we've been here for a while" Rick cut him off " just got here and" he didn't know what to say after that after a couple seconds of silence Gavin spoke " care to show us around?"
"This is my place you guys were awfully close to it I thought I heard something and I finally found the courage to go out there" after awhile they were taken to the middle of town were they saw pinkie pies bake shop
"if your going to stay here you've gotta know pinky pie she's..." Gavin cut her off
"crazy" fluttershy looked a bit surprised buy what he said " oh no I wouldn't say that
"Rick leaned on the building "so THIS is were the meth is made huh?" Fluttershy looked confused
"what's that?" Rick looked at her knowing what he just said " nothing " that was when pinkie kicked open the door HIIIIIIIII gavin screamed out
"JESUS CHRIST!!!" Fluttershy looked surprised her self " hey pinkie what are you
" I'm just baking some cupcakes with rainbow dash for twilights surprise birthday party that's in a couple of days and I wanted some opinions ya know what now that I think about it I probably shouldn't have said anything out loud hopfully these three new ponies I've never seen before don't say anything oh I hope twilights not around oh what have I done what I mess this up what if... "
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Paul yelled "ok what was the problem?" Pinkie went to explain the situation again when rainbow came out the building
"what the hells going on out here and who are these guys?" Paul spoke
"we're new comers" Gavin silently walked up to rainbow while everyone watched when he got up to her he said
" hi" rainbow looked abit uncomfortable
"hi?" There was an awkward moment of silence until Rick broke the silence
" so I heard something about cake?" Pinkie jumped up
" ya in here" she dashed inside while rainbow followed Rick walked up to Gavin and said " don't get TO creepy on us "
They got inside and Rick looked around "sooooo..." He was cut off when cake was shoved in his mouth by pinkie "
I was thinking of that one or should I try something else " Rick swallowed
" it was good but you don't have to..."
" GOOD!? I need it to be perfect!!! How about this one" she shoved more into his mouth while Paul and Gavin sat back and laughed Rick swallowed again and gave a nervous smile
"it's great" that's when rainbow stepped in
"pinkie I think he's had enough so what are your names anyway?" Gavin was the first to speak
"Gavin" Paul said his name and then Rick said his
" interesting names " rainbow said Rick spoke up again
" Fluttershy are you going to show us around some more? Fluttershy looked at Rick
"oh ya come on let's go well stop by raritys if she's not to busy"
Rarity as expected was at her house but apple jack was there as well " rarity I told you not to make it so glossy" Apple jack said
" well I spent all afternoon making this for you and I for one think it looks amazing." Rarity stated
" I'll second that come on Apple jack you haven't even tried it on" Rick said
" who are you?" Rarity asked
"names Rick The other two are Paul and Gavin" Rick took a moment to see if someone would say something. Nothing was said "so come on Jakie are you going to try it on or what?" Rick said with a smile. Apple jack or Jakie is what Rick preferred to call her sighed
" fine I'll try it" she took the dress in the back as everyone else waited Paul and Gavin were talking to Fluttershy so Rick took the opportunity to talk to rarity
" so what's the get up?" Rarity sighed and said
" she's going to this dance and everyone will be there it's in about two weeks I already made every pony else's dress but..."
Rick cut her off " you know I never got that every pony bull shit why not just say everyone?" Before she could say anything Applejack came out with the dress and said
"I look like a fool" Rick walkedup to her
" I love it" rarity seemed impressed by this
" finally some pony or someone who has taste in fashion" before Apple jack could say anything Fluttershy cut in
" oh applejack that dress looks amazing" applejack looked as though she was thinking.
" do you guys really think so?" Rick spoke up
"Jackie it looks good on you and that's that" applejack blushed
"thank you " Rick looked at Fluttershy anyone else you want us to meet Fluttershy? She hesitated " well there is one more id like you to meet"
They finally arrived at the castle when Gavin said the first words that came to mind "I'm a sucker for mid evil castles" Fluttershy spoke up
" I wouldn't say it's mid evil but whatever you guys want to call it" Fluttershy opened the door and walked inside
" damn you don't nock or anything?" Rick said
" no it normally slips my mind when I walk into other ponies houses I don't really think about it."fluttershy said That's when starlight glimmer came from one of the rooms with a couple of books she looked a bit tired but it didn't stop her from asking who the three new ponies were they said there names like the last couple of times and that's when Rick asked wear the hell twilight was at starlight spoke
"she's in her lab rite now she asked me to bring her these" starlight then raised the books to show three text books all very large
"Well let's go meet her" Rick said they started following starlight down the hall as they were walking Rick took the time to talk to Paul
"Paul you've been silent this whole time what's up?" Paul sighed before he said anything Rick smiled and said "nervous about Fluttershy?" Paul just looked up at him with a small smile then Rick turned to Gavin " I saw you creeping with rainbow " Rick said. Gavin became silent
"shut up I'm thinking about it". Starlights voice filled the empty halls
"she should be through here" she slowly opened the door to see twilight going back and forth between test tubes with different mixtures in them " twilight you have visitors" twilight looked up "
oh hi Fluttershy and ... Who are you guys?" "
"Names Rick " Gavin"Paul ". Rick decided to ask what twilight was making
"oh this? Invisibility it's going to be huge if I figure this out but the amount of studies I've done for this I'm rite next to figuring it out I just know it." Rick looked at her then back at the tubes then back at her
"well that seems very interesting I'd like to help if you ever need it" twilight seemed surprised at what Rick had just said
"you think this is interesting? I'm always getting called a nerd" she said chuckling
" well that's no way to treat a princess hey it's nice to have a new friend" Rick said as he put out his hoof and he got a little hood bump from her " so where's spike?" Gavin asked twilight looked at Gavin
" he's at a game with Big Mac oh you don't know who that is do you?" Paul raised his hoof
"we know" Rick was still looking around " you know Fluttershy you gave me a great tour of the town but twilight you need to give me a tour of this castle " twilight chuckled at that
" ok " Gavin asked Rick what time it was 4:30
" shit it's getting late " Gavin said. Rick looked at twilight
" well it was nice meeting you twi I hope to hang out some more" twilight smiled "ok" as they walked to the door on their way out Fluttershy was asking them what they were going to do about a home
" I don't know " Gavin said. Twilight was walking with them but before she could say anything she started sniffing around
" hey do you guys smell that?" Paul looked up
" I do it smells like"
" smoke " Rick cut him off. they all looked in the direction of the smell to see a giant cloud of smoke and a bit of flames rising over a building
"is that pinkies?" Gavin asked.
twilight started tearing up "oh my god " she cried out as she stared running to the building and had the other four chase after her.
When they got to the bakers house it was ablaze nothing but the sound of breaking glass and flames roaring "are rainbow and pinkie still in there?" Rick asked in a panic no answer from anyone "shit " Rick said as he ran up to the door and kicked it down meanwhile apple jack and rarity were just getting there. The door frame fell on Rick but he quickly caught it
"Paul hold this up Gavin come on we have to find them!" Paul ran over there as fast as he could and held the door frame while Gavin and Rick ran inside " we've got about forty seconds until this place falls Gavin so hurry" Rick said after about ten seconds they found rainbow dash who was trapped under part of the roof that fell on her
"Gavin help me lift this" Gavin ran over to Rick and lifted the roof while Rick pulled rainbow out from under it
"I was about to save myself you know?" Rick sighed quickly
"sure you were toots Gavin get her out of here" Rick said Gavin looked at Rick as he quickly picked up rainbow
" what about you?"
" I need to find pinkie now go!" Gavin left Rick as told when he got to the front everyone gasped before him twilight ran up to them as they were getting closer to them
"thank god you guys are safe" then she realized something " wears Rick and pinkie?"
Rick was kicking threw burning tables and chairs until he saw pinkie there she was curled up in a ball ready to die as she was trapped
"pinkie!" Rick yelled and got her attention
"Rick?" She asked in a weak voice probably about to pass out from the smoke
" come on " rick said as he picked her up and started walking out that's when he was cut off by another part of the roof "shit" he didn't know what to do now that he was trapped thats when he saw a window,a back window he grabbed a chair and started smashing it out.
Everyone was waiting at the front for Rick and pinkie to come out but they didn't meanwhile Paul was still holding the door that's when gavin realized the building was about to fall so he ran up to Paul and pulled him away from the building
"what the hell are you doing?!" Paul yelled
"it's to late there trapped in there" Gavin said that's when the building finally fell over and crumbled to the ground while everyone else watched tears in there eyes. Twilight on the other hand was crying. The paramedics finally showed up and asked if anyone was hurt
"rainbow dash" Paul said "just rainbow dash " that's when Apple jack and rarity walked up to twilight
"wasn't pinkie in there?" Apple jack said twilight was still crying
"yes and so was Rick the new guy" that's when Rick showed up around the corner of the next building over with a passed out pinkie on his back
" hey I can use some help here!" He yelled everyone looked in that direction that's when twilight was shocked to see that they made it out ok. She ,Gavin ,Paul , Fluttershy, Apple jack, and rarity all ran over to them
"oh thank god are you guys ok?" Twilight asked
"I'm fine but you need to get pinkie to a hospital" Rick said as he was walking to the paramedics
"how did you get out?" Gavin asked
" smashed out a window in the back" Rick said
Hours later it was now 8:43 and Everyone was in the hospital waiting to see if pinkie and rainbow dash were ok. Not a word was said as they sat in the waiting room worrying. Minutes seemed like hours until the doctor finally came out and everyone instantly stood up
"rainbow dash is going to be okay she'll walk out with you guys tonight shes tough that one" the doctor said smiling
"what about pinkie?" Rick asked the doctor looked at the ground and sighed "pinkie inhaled a lot of smoke during that fire and she's fine she just needs to stay in the hospital for about a week
" can we see her?" Twilight asked
" I don't think that's a good Idea give it about two days ok?" No words were said they just shook there heads yes. A half hour later rainbow walked out
" are you ok sugar cube?" Apple jack asked rainbow didn't say a thing to her she was quiet until she looked at Gavin
"thank you" she said that got Gavin's attention
"for what?" For saving me thank you all" this was something that no one had ever seen out of rainbow dash before
" how did the fire start anyway?"
" All that damn baking they said the oven over heated well all the ones she had running at the time she said she was running those things for about two days strait" Rick said
" damn pinkie I don't know how you do it but you do it" rarity spoke
"well I don't know about you guys but I should get home
" what's pinkie going to do for a home?" Gavin asked concerned
" she'll probably live with her parents" rarity added
It was 10:26 at night and Rick,Paul,and Gavin were getting ready to go to bed outside.
"Shit man I thought we'd at least sleep inside when we came here" Paul said
"before you go to sleep I want to talk to you guys about something" Rick said but was cut off when he saw twilight she had a flash light and looked confused Fluttershy and rainbow dash was behind her
"what are you guys doing out here?"
" Going to sleep" Rick said
"why?" Twilight looked even more confused "out here?"
" Were else?" Gavin said
"in a house" twilight said
" oh that's fine " Rick said
" are you kidding me? I'm not letting heroes like you guys sleep out here in the cold come on" she said as she motioned towered her and her friends "Fluttershys agreed to take you Paul, Gavin your with rainbow dash and Rick you can stay with me if you want to" The three ponies didn't know what to say
"that sounds perfect. Twilight smiled
" ok then let's go" they turned to walk away but before Gavin and Paul could move Rick snatched them back
"meet up back here at twelve ok?" Gavin shook his head "got it "
It was 11:43 and Gavin and Paul had already left meanwhile Rick was still at the castle he had his own room to sleep in and in his opinion it was awesome this castle was to big but he had to go meet up with Paul and Gavin so he got up and left his room when he go to the door he was stopped from reaching the door Handle when he heard twilight ask him what he was doing. He turned around
"thought I'd take a walk and check out the town some more I couldn't sleep so why not ya know? " twilight turned back to her bedroom
" I couldn't sleep neither I keep thinking about pinkie you think she'll be ok?"
" Ya I do I tell you what why don't we go see her tomorrow?" Twilight smiled
"ok" she turned around and went back to bed "be carful" she said Rick didn't so much as hesitate he opened the door and walked out.
When Rick finally got there Gavin asked what Rick wanted to talk about Rick looked at him and Paul
" you know what I wanted to talk to you about I want you to not say a word about anything don't tell anyone about what happened they don't know it but we all know what we did to get here and for the sake of us and how we're going to live here don't say a word now we go back to the homes we were invited to and we don't talk you guys got it?"
Both Gavin and Paul nodded their heads
"Paul I'm looking at you don't say a word even if you somehow get caught what we did back then that don't matter now we've got new lives and we're going to like our new lives better than our last ones I promise you that now from this point on we forget it even happened ok?"
Gavin shook his head "yes Rick I know can we go back now I'm actually really tired"
"yes I just wanted to clear this up alright let's go back welcome to equestria boys" Rick said smiling as they all split up walking back to the homes of the ones that thought they were heroes
They weren't wrong
Even though it was only day one Rick still didn't know his way around the castle only the way to his room and the front door but fuck finding the kitchen or anything like that but when twilight showed him he asked her if he could use the phone of course the answer was yes. He called Fluttershys place and asked for Paul when he got on the line he asked how the place was. Small Paul said.
"Well hang in there I'm sure everything will work out just keep your cool". After a while he hung up the phone and that's when he went to the lab to see twilight maybe help her out with the potion she was working on. he opened the door to find that she wasn't there but everything was left the way it was. Even the books that starlight brought in were sitting on the table collecting dust. Rick left the empty room to find starlight wandering the hall he asked wear twilight was.
Starlight said she didn't know but she might be in her room but wear the hell was that at? Rick didn't know so he decided to go find it himself. After about twelve minutes of wandering around he found twilights room it was very big with a very large bed set in the middle of the room but twilight was sitting at the window just looking out side.
"Looks like a nice day out side" Rick said making twilight jump "sorry I didn't mean to startle you I fixed what you said to fix and submitted it and it's been 2 days is there something wrong I just wanted to thank you for letting me stay here for the night" twilight looked up at him
"it's no problem really I couldn't let you guys sleep out there you can stay here for as long as you want" Rick noticed something about her she looked depressed,worried
"still worried about pinkie?" Twilight didn't say anything instead she looked at the floor "why don't we go see her today" twilight started tearing up she was trying to contain it but she was failing miserably
"what if they don't let us?" Rick thought for a minute "they'll let us twilight"
Rick got back on the phone to try and talk to Gavin and in the clouds he heard the ring and picked up the phone
"hello" hey Gavin it's Rick listen me and twi are gunna head down to the hospital and try to see pinkie of you wanted to come with maybe help me talk the doctor into letting us see her" Gavin thought for a couple of seconds
"ya I'll go with you why not?" "
"Are you going to bring rainbow dash? How was last night anyway" Rick asked
"slept on the couch which was comfortable" Gavin replied.
Rick smiled " it was made out of clouds wasn't it?"
"Yep "
"well meet us here at the castle we'll wait for ya".
It was 10:42 in the morning and there was a knock at the door. Rick went to answer the door and as expected Gavin was at the other side of the door
"are you ready?" Gavin asked
"ya let me go get twilight" Rick disappeared down the hallway and came back walking with twilight
"she's at the same place right?"Gavin asked
"ya come on let's go" Rick said as he let twilight outside and shut the door behind them.
When they got to the hospital Rick told twilight to take a seat in the waiting room, the same waiting room that they all sat in while rainbow and pinkie were getting checked out. But twilight took her seat and Rick told the lady at the front that they were there to visit.
"pinkie pie is she here?" The lady took a moment to answer
"yes I'll ask the doctor if you can see her" she left the counter but she never came back instead the doctor came out himself
"I said two days not tomorrow"
" ya I know what you said can we see her or not?" The doctor took a moment
"I don't think it's a good idea"
"please doctor please twilights really worried and I can't see her like this" the doctor thought for a moment
"I'll let you see her for ten minutes ok?"
"That's perfect " Rick said then he went back to twilight and Gavin "I got us in" Rick told them.
Rick slowly opened the door to see that pinkie was laying down sleeping with a monitor hooked up to her. Twilight could barely stand to see her like that but she walked up to her and nudged her
"pinkie? Wake up" pinkie opened up one eye to see twilight there
"twilight?" Pinkie asked in a small weak voice. Then she looked to the left of her and saw Rick and Gavin. "Rick?" Rick walked up to pinkie by twilights side
"ya I'm here" Rick said in a calm soothing voice like he was talking to a child.
"Thank you, thank you so much for saving me I would have died if it wasn't for you" Rick put his hoof on hers
"I did what I had to" twilight spoke up
"my birthday parties tomorrow I'll be sure to bring you some cake" pinkie started tearing up
"I guess I'll have to miss it" Rick whispered in twilights ear
"why don't you just delay the party until pinkie gets out of the hospital" twilight looked at him
"good idea" she turned back to pinkie "pinkie? We'll wait for you to get out of the hospital to celebrate"
"you don't have to do that" pinkie told her
"no " twilight protested " that's what I want to do" pinkie just lie there on the hospital bed she looked tired that's when the doctor came in the room
"I'm sorry but I've gotta cut this short pinkies got more visitors " Rick looked at him
"ok thank you so much for letting us see her" "
"no problem " he said as he left. Twilight looked back at pinkie
"I'll be back to see you ok?" Pinkie smiled it was a small smile but it was a smile
"ok " they turned around to leave the room Rick being the last one out until he heard his name get called from behind him. He turned around to pinkie
"yes?" Pinkie gave him her small weak smile
"visit me sometime ok?" Rick smiled at her
"I promise "
When they got to the waiting room they saw Paul and Fluttershy "hey guys " Gavin said as he walked to Paul
"hey Gavin " Paul said "we're here to see pinkie Fluttershy just kept thinking about her
"same with twilight " Gavin said that's when Rick came up to Gavin and patted him on the back
"thanks for coming me and twilight are going to head back to the castle"
"ok" Gavin said then Rick saw Paul and Fluttershy
"hey Paul hey Fluttershy " hi " they said as he and twilight walked out the doors.
It was 9:34 at night and Rick was in the library reading the shining when twilight came in the room
"hey Rick " Rick looked up from his book and looked at twilight"what are you reading?" Twilight asked
"I'm reading the shining it's by Stephen King ever hear of him?" Twilight shook her head no "your crazy sister this is from the master of horror" twilight stared until she finally found words
"I'm going out with apple jack tonight if you want to come with, and if Gavin and Paul want to come along that's fine with me. Rick shook his head "ok"
Twilight left the room so Rick took this opportunity to call up Gavin and tell him to meet them at the castle but Rick didn't know what to say he didn't even know what they were doing
"hey twilight?"
"ya?" She called from down the hall
"what are we doing?" Twilight didn't know how else to tell him this so she came rite out with it
"I need a drink so me and apple jack are going to show stoppers it's a bar you still want to come?" Rick knew the answer
"yes I do " Rick went back to calling Gavin. Then he'd call up Paul.
He needed to talk to them anyway and with a couple bottles of vodka it would be a nice and easy chat.
Gavin was in rainbow dashes house laying on the couch looking up at the ceiling, there was nothing to do so that's what he was doing until he got captured in his own thoughts thinking about everything that's happened since him and his friends got to equestria. But the one thing that struck his mind was that rainbow dash was barely at home he had only talked to her a couple of times but he knew she was out doing her own thing. That's when he heard the phone go off it made him jump and he got a little annoyed because he was in a really comfy spot but he got up and answered the phone it was Rick he had told him that he and twilight were going out to show stoppers with apple jack and asked him if he wanted in or not. Of course Gavin said yes and asked were to meet up at
"the castle " Rick said
"well what about Paul?" Gavin asked Rick
"I'll call him when I hang up I'll be here waiting for you"
"ok I'll be there in 10 minutes" gavin hung up the phone and started walking down the street to the castle.
He was at the castle and wanted to go inside for a moment considering how cold it was outside. Windy as well it only added to how cold it was and he just wanted to go inside for a moment so he knocked on the door a bit anxious to get in then he remembered he could just walk in so he did just that. He walked inside to see Rick walking up to the door
"I heard you knocking i thought you forgot about the no lock deal with this place so are you ready?"
"Rick it's cold as hell outside" Rick nodded
"shit man I can tell I can hear the wind from outside" twilight came around the corner
"hey Gavin are you ready to go?" Gavin looked at Rick
"where's Paul?"
"Shit man Fluttershy didn't want to be left alone so he stayed with her but as long as he's at the party tomorrow it's fine" Gavin looked confused
"I thought it was being held off until pinkie got out of the hospital" twilight told Gavin it was more of a meet up the real party would be held after pinkie got out.
"Ok well are we leaving?" Gavin asked
"ya lets go" twilight said as she walked out the castle door.
It was a very slow night for show stoppers probably because of how cold it was but it didn't stop twilight, apple jack, Rick, and Gavin from going there for a late night drink, apple jack was already there at the counter with a wine glass it was half full and she was just twirling it around in a circle until she heard twilights voice
"hey apple jack" Apple jack turned around with a smile on her face
"hey twilight how's it going? I see you brought Rick and Gavin along with ya" twilight smiled
"I invited them how long have you been here?" Apple jack looked up at the clock and it read 10:04
"I've been here for about twenty minutes" that's when twilights smile became a nervous smile
"sorry for making you wait so long"
"it's fine I had the chance to have three glasses wine until you showed up speaking of wine how would y'all like to have some?" Rick laughed
"shit I wouldn't mind a little vodka" Gavin tapped Rick on the shoulder
"I'm going to go to the bathroom I'll be back"
"alright man hurry up I wanted to talk to ya" Gavin raised his hoof
"be right back".
Gavin left and that's when Rick heard twilight "oh no shit I forgot to bring my money" Apple jack looked over
"that's fine I'll pay" Apple jack proposed
"oh no you don't have to "
"twilight it's fine tonight the drinks are on me" Rick liked the sound of that so he walked up to the counter and took a seat
"what are you going to drink Rick?" Apple jack asked
"probably going to have a glass of vodka"
"do you know what Gavin wants?" Rick thought
"probably vodka" Apple jack turned to the bar tender
"you heard him" he went to go get the glasses and just then Gavin came out of the bath room and took his seat next to Rick
"I got you vodka Gavin is that alright?" Gavin sat down
"sounds good to me "
After about an hour of drinking Rick had drank his fifth glass of vodka and he looked like he had just gotten off of a ride that would make you very dizzy but Gavin was on his eighth glass and he looked fine
"damn Rick you only had a couple of glasses"
"ya well I don't drink much listen I wanted to talk to you about something" Rick said as he picked up the glass to drink the last bit of vodka
"what? We already talked the night we got here " Rick looked at him
"no no no I wanted to talk about something else" Rick couldn't keep his train of thought and decided to switch the subject " hey are you drinking more?" Gavin looked at his glass
"no I don't want twilight to spend I shit load of money" Rick leaned on Gavin's shoulder with his arm
"oh come on man have as many as you want after all the drinks are on jackie" Rick said as he tilted his head back for the final drop but instead fell backwards on the bar floor causing apple jack and twilight to turn around they laughed. Rick got back up "you know what I think I'm going to head back" Rick looked at apple jack " hey Jackie " Apple jack turned around
"ya?"
"Thanks for the drinks I'll talk to ya later "
"oh no problem but next time make sure twilight brings her own money" Apple jack joked
"speaking of twilight see you at the castle twi" Rick said as he walked out of the bar. Twilight looked up at the clock 12:34
"oh shit I'd better get going to thanks for the drinks apple jack I'll talk to ya soon" twilight said as she got up out of her seat and ran out the door "Rick wait up!"
It was just Apple jack and Gavin now and apple jack was feeling kind of lonely and she wanted to talk to him so she slid on over to him
"nice group of friends you got" Apple jack said
"thanks " Gavin said noticing apple jack "oh and thanks for the drinks to"
"oh no problem so I wanted to talk to you about twilights birthday tomorrow I know it's just a meet up until pinkie gets out of the hospital but that doesn't mean I don't have to look nice and I already got an outfit and..." Apple jack sighed but Gavin was waiting to hear what Apple jack wanted to say finally she came out with it "what are you planing to wear?" Gavin thought and turned the bar stool to the left and spread out his hooves indicating he was wearing... Well nothing Apple jack shook her head "that's what I thought come with me" Apple jack said as she put her money on the counter and walked out of the bar as Gavin followed.
As they were walking apple jack told Gavin that she was going to get him in the right outfit for tomorrow
"I'll take you to the store And buy the outfit don't you worry about anything by the time I'm done with ya you'll look great" Gavin didn't know about this one fashion wasn't Apple Jacks thing but when they got to the store they landed on a white t shirt and a black leather jacket
"like it? I do"Apple jack said as she turned him to the mirror. Gavin looked in the mirror
"I love it" Apple jack looked in the mirror with him
"you shine up like a new penny" she laughed at what she just said. After that she paid for it and Gavin said his thank you's then he went back to rainbow dash's house. When he got there she was laying on the couch reading a daring do book
"we're have you been?" Rainbow asked
"I was out with twilight and apple jack we went to show stoppers
"that's cool " rainbow said "nice outfit" Gavin looked down at himself
"thanks" rainbow dash got up off of the couch
"sorry I didn't mean to lay were you sleep I was going to go to bed anyway" ok goodnight Gavin said
"goodnight" rainbow called back. Gavin turned out the light and Laid down. He tried to get to sleep but couldn't he didn't know why but he got the feeling that the meet up tomorrow was going to be a shit show. But why? Gavin thought. why would the meet up tomorrow turn so bad? But then he got a feeling a bad one. over the years he had learned to trust his feelings and he had just got a feeling it had to do with...
Pinkie
Paul was sitting down on the couch waiting for Fluttershy to get ready
"you know what Paul? Maybe you should go on without me because I'm going to be at least another half hour" Paul stood up
"are you sure?"
"Ya go ahead and tell twilight that I'll be there soon" Paul opened the door and looked back at Fluttershy
"ok see you there" when he was outside it was nice and warm, pretty hot actually but it's a good thing they would be inside because if he had to stay outside in that heat all day it would feel nice at first but give it about two hours and he would be making excuses to get back inside.
At the castle apple jack and twilight were having a talk meanwhile Rick, Gavin,and rainbow dash were doing the same.
"So why were you in such a rush to catch up to Rick when you left the bar last night?" Apple jack asked with a smile on her face twilight took a moment to answer the question
"I wanted to talk to some pony while i walked home." Apple Jacks smile grew bigger
"do ya like him?" Twilight took even longer to answer that question then she said
"he's kind of cute" they both laughed at what she had just said but that's when Paul walked in the room
"hey twilight happy birthday" twilight looked up
"hey Paul where's Fluttershy?"
"She'll be here she was just getting ready." Apple jack spoke up
"well we're just chatten so sit were ever ya want to sit" Paul nodded
"alright" of course he sat next to Rick and Gavin.
After a while Fluttershy showed up and everyone talked until at one point twilight had to go to the bathroom so she did just that after she went she ran into shining armor and princess Kaiden's
"oh my gosh I didn't know you guys were going to be here" shining armor smiled as he hugged his sister
"of course how could I forget my own sisters birthday I thought I'd surprise you we already said hi to everyone else but I didn't see pinkie were is she?" As if on cue the telephone rang in the other room Gavin got that feeling again and it was a bad one so he picked up the phone first
"hello?" On the other end of the phone was the doctor at the hospital he told Gavin that pinkie was not doing well at all and maybe they'd want to come down to the hospital and have there goodbyes" Gavin knew what was coming but it still hurt to hear the truth
"we'll be right down"he told him as he hung up the phone.
"who was it?" Twilight asked as she came into the room everyone waited for an answer
"that was the doctor at the hospital they said that... Pinkie wasn't doing well at all she's gotten worse and it would be best if we go say our good byes." That's when the room fell silent and nobody had to look at anyone else to know that tears were falling. the doctor said they were going to go to the hospital and that's just what they were going to do.
The hospital seemed dark and sad nobody wanted this to happen but maybe there was hope after all the doctor said she might pull threw although the chances were very slim. They were in the room with pinkie it was silent until Rick spoke up
"maybe we should say our goodbyes by our selves"
"ya " twilight said tears in her eyes. After everyone left it was just her and twilight
"well pinkie... I never thought it would end this way... The doctor says you could pull through you know... Come on pinkie please for me..." Twilight started crying "for us... And if you don't pull threw... Then we'll miss you... We'll miss you pinkie" twilight sobbed and then slowly walked out of the room. Rick was up next he slowly walked over to pinkie and sat down
"hey pinkie I told you I would come back and visit. I didn't know you long but for the time I did..." Rick didn't know what to say until he thought of something "come on pinkie I know you can pull threw you've survived worse than this you... You..." Rick was speechless again "where's the awesome crazy pony I know? I know she's in there please pinkie just please... Come back to us."
Rick passed rarity on the way out who already had streams of tears running down her face in the waiting room Rick saw shining armor trying to calm twilight but she shoved him off and ran into the other room so he decided to follow her and try to calm her. When he got in there she was looking down at the floor crying the room was empty, only a bed in the middle Rick walked up to twilight
"twilight?" Rick called her she turned around to see him
"oh Rick hey sorry I just can't believe this is happening" twilight said as she walked Over to him he hugged her
"it's all right twi it's all right" she started crying again
"no it's not"we're all going to miss her twi but she'll pull threw I know it now come on... Your to pretty to be crying like that." Twilight looked up at him and gave a small smile then she went to walk away but tripped and fell Rick caught her and they stared into each other's eyes for a few moments until twilight slowly lifted her head to his and they kissed all while shining armor was watching he had came to comfort twilight but Rick already had that covered apparently after a few moments Rick broke the kiss
"better now?" Rick asked. twilight didn't respond "pinkie will be fine twi I promise."
Gavin was in the waiting room doing what everyone else was doing waiting to say there goodbyes that's when Rick came up and sat next to him.
"Crazy huh?" Rick said
"ya I would have thought that they would have saved her" Rick paused
"I think they will... Where's Paul?"
"Saying his goodbyes" Rick thought for a moment
"hey Gavin I need to tell you something "
"what?" Rick didn't know how to tell him about what had just gone on a few moments ago so he had to excuse himself.
"You know what Gavin I'm going to grab a soda or something you want anything?" Gavin shook his head
"nah I'm good" ok " Rick said as he left to get a soda maybe a coke.
It was lonely at this part of the hospital no one was around but Rick found the soda machines. I don't even want anything he thought. How was he going to tell Gavin about him and twilight? Or perhaps even Paul then Rick felt horrible they were there to say goodbye to pinkie and he was worried about that. He thought he should just head back to the waiting room and just stay seated so he did just that. As he was walking he couldn't help but notice how quiet it was until he turned the corner to have someone grab him by the shoulder and pull him into what looked like a hug except for the large blade cutting into ricks stomach and having the blood poring on to the floor once the knife was in. he pulled him closer into it. all Rick could do was let out a small yell that wasn't heard for very far. All of it happened so fast until Rick blacked out from blood loss the knife still were it was stabbed into him.
Rick was slowly blacking out the blood pouring into a rather large puddle on the floor he was in a lot of pain and then he was raised up by his throat the knife still in him
"you stay away from her" Is all he heard until he was thrown into a framed picture on the wall, and when he hit the floor the knife only cut more into him as the glass from the picture rained on top of him.
Apple jack was in the bathroom she had been crying herself she didn't want to loose her friend but what choice did she have?
She couldn't just cure what pinkie had. she thought it was time to go back out she walked out the bathroom to hear a small yell from down the hall.
she got a scared feeling in her stomach it was causing her not to want to move but curiosity got the better of her and when she turned the corner she found Rick in a puddle of blood and glass his head slumped downward she ran over to him.
"Rick what happened to you? Are you ok?" He slowly lifted up his head and said in a small weak voice.
"Jackie?" Apple jack yelled as loud as she could.
"HELP WE NEED A DOCTOR!!!"
In the waiting room Gavin was sitting waiting for Rick to get back only if he knew the type of trouble he was in.
All of a sudden Apple jack was heard.
"is that apple jack?" Gavin asked. twilight sat up.
"I don't know but it sounded like her we should go" they all ran down the hall to see Apple Jack over Rick.
Rick was holding on to her trying not to pass out.
"come on Rick stay with us" Apple jack begged
"oh my, what happened here?" Twilight asked then she saw Rick and ran over to him "oh my gosh Rick are you ok?" Paul ran up to Gavin
"what's going on?"
"I don't know" Gavin responded twilight saw the knife inside of Rick and went to pull it out
"no twilight Don't!" Apple jack said before twilight pulled the knife out of Rick stomach causing him to yell in pain and having blood pour out of him. "NO!" Apple jack yelled before putting pressure on the wound her hooves becoming very bloody "come on Rick not you to" Apple jack whispered that's when the doctor finally showed up.
"what the hell is happening here?"
"Oh please we need your help " Rick heard all of this as he slowly passed out and when he finally did the last thing he heard was the doctor say "we'll try our best."
Rick woke up to beeping and he looked to his left to see a heart rate monitor it seemed normal then he turned to his right to see twilight at the door talking to someone
"let us know if he wakes up"
"I tell you this every time doc I will" twilight shut the door and turned around to see Rick looking at her "OH RICK YOUR AWAKE!!!" Twilight said happy as ever
"ya I'm up...how long have I been out?" Twilight thought,
"three days Rick everyone's came to see you... You should have seen Apple jack she was a wreck" Rick was shocked to hear what he just heard.
"three days? Three fucking days? What the hell happened?"
"We don't know that's what we're trying to find out we were hoping maybe you could tell us."
"Shit I don't remember anything" the room fell silent "how's pinkie?" Twilight looked up,
"you were right Rick she's going to be fine she'll be out of here in a couple of days" Rick smiled
"I told ya twi"
"oh Gavin is on his way to he'll be happy to see your awake"
"hey twi?"
"Ya?" Rick didn't know how to ask her this but he did anyway,
"have you told anyone that we..."
"Kissed? I told Apple jack that's it."
"And what did she say?"
"she laughed and said she knew it was going to happen" there was a knock at the door twilight opened it to see Gavin on the other side
"hey twilight how's Rick doing?"
"He's awake come inside" Gavin followed twilight in to see Rick in the hospital bed.
"hey Gavin what's up?"
"What's up? What the hell do you mean what's up? Someone almost killed you"
"Rick we want to know what happened" twilight said Rick looked around the room for a second and then turned to twilight.
"hey twi can you step out for a second I need to talk to Gavin about something"
"okay?" twilight said looking a little confused. After she stepped out Gavin asked what he wanted to talk about then he asked if he knew what even happened to him.
"Gavin can you hand me my jacket" Gavin looked at the chair that Rick was pointing to and on it was his jacket Gavin picked it up and handed it to him "thanks" Rick said as he reached into the pocket and pulled out a note pad he wrote something down, tore out the page, folded it in half then handed it to Gavin.
"give this to Paul rite away don't let anyone else see this either ok?" Gavin nodded
"ok Rick what's it say?"
"Don't worry about it, just give it to Paul and hurry"
"alright I'll be back " Gavin said as he Walked out the door. Twilight walked back in she wanted to talk to him about something as well but if it was just them two she would be able to get an answer out of him easier.
At Fluttershys house Gavin knocked on the door when Paul answered he asked if Fluttershy was around.
"no why?" Gavin walked in the house
"Rick is awake and he wanted me to give you something."
At the hospital twilight asked Rick,
"what happened?" Rick thought for a moment.
"I was walking back to the waiting room when someone grabbed me and I felt a sharp pain in my stomach"
"that's it? One pony? Did they say anything?" Ricks heart rate monitor started moving faster
"they said to stay away from her" twilight looked at the heart rate monitor which was speeding up.
"Rick are you ok?" Rick didn't look to good
"twilight?"
"Yes Rick?" Twilight answered in a panic.
"get the doctor" Rick said before he passed out the heart rate monitor slowing down.
"What did Rick want to give to me?" Paul asked Gavin handed him the paper.
"he said not to tell anyone so I guess it's important" Paul unfolded it and read it then he looked up.
"and this is from Rick?"
"Ya why?" Paul crumpled up the paper and held it tightly he was at a loss for words.
"fuck."
"Is he ok?" Twilight asked the doctor as he finished up what he was doing.
"he'll be fine just... Listen the cops are going to be here soon and there going to question Rick about what happened here now you can go and talk to him but I need to go and see other patients now you call me back if anything comes up alright?" Twilight shook her head
"got it"
"Paul... What does it say?" Paul uncrumpled the note and read it again to him self then he threw it to Gavin.
"read it yourself" Gavin read the note.
"Paul just woke up out of the hospital and i just learned that I've been out for three days now I need you to come and see me when you get the chance there might be a chance that we need to get the hell out of here asap". Gavin looked up.
"Paul he was half asleep when he wrote this you can't expect him to actually mean this"
"Gavin I hope your right but I'm still going to see him are you coming with?" Gavin knew his answer.
"of course".
At the hospital Rick was being questioned by the police meanwhile twilight sat in a chair in the corner of the room listening to the conversation.
"I already told you guys I have no clue what happened I turned the corner and he stabbed me that's as much as I know" the cop who was questioning him shook her head.
"ok but tell us if you remember anything, anything at all" Rick nodded.
"got it" when she left twilight got out of her chair.
"you forgot to tell her that this guy said to stay away from her"
"oh twi I didn't forget I wanted to talk to you about that actually" twilight looked confused
"why"
"he said stay away from her and this did happen after we kissed" twilight began to understand what he was saying.
"you think that when he said her he meant me is that it?" Rick nodded in a way that made twilight sigh then she said.
"I have to go"
"what? I didn't mean to offend you I just meant..."
"No Rick it's not that I just know someone that will help us with this situation better than that cop" Rick tilted his head to the side.
"really?, who?"
"I don't know his name but I know where he is and I know he'll help us" Twilight walked up to the hospital bed were Rick was laying and kissed him on the lips.
"I'll be back" she said as she ran out the door.
Twilight went to sweet Apple acres because she knew of all the ponies in equestria she would get what she needed if she was by her side convincing.
"oh hey twilight what brings you here?"
"I need your help I know this cop that can help us out with Rick and..."
"I thought the cops already had everything covered"
" they do but this one will get things done I know he will"
"what's his name?" Apple jack asked a little suspicious of this cop.
"I don't know but I know we're he is just please help me?"
"I'll help you twilight just lead the way"
At the hospital Gavin and Paul walked in Rick was reading a book until he noticed them standing there.
"oh hey guys" Paul gave Rick a look that said are you kidding me?
"Why do we need to get out of here for Rick?"
Twilight was at the right place and when she opened the door she saw a pony who wore a brown hat, a brown leather jacket, and jeans on he also had a mustache and was smoking a cigarette.
"um hello? I heard you could help me?" The cop looked up and smiled.
"sure come on sweet tits sit down I can help you out."
Twilight took her seat as did apple jack facing the cop.
"so what do you need help with?" He asked.
"my friend was stabbed at the hospital and we're trying to figure out who did it and I heard that you could help us" twilight responded.
"sooo.... Your friend got stabbed at the hospital and that's it? No more detail? Why don't you run me threw your whole day." Twilight sighed, she had to tell him everything this was going to be a while.
"well..."
"Hold up" the cop cut her off "let me make sure I have time for this shit" he said getting up and before he left the room apple jack called out.
"what's your name?" The cop looked back while he was at the door.
"Jackie Vincent" he said then he left the room.
"Are you sure you want to have this guy come into this twilight? He seems like an ass hole and not to mention that this place smells like booze"
"I've heard about this guy Apple jack believe me the reason that he's so chill is because he can deal with anything just trust me?" Apple jack thought for a moment.
"alright but I've got my eye on him" Jack walked back in the room.
"alright what's the problem?"
"You can help us?" twilight asked getting exited
"hell I knew I had spare time I just needed to get more cigarettes" Jackie said as he went to light another cigarette.
"do you need more cigarettes?" Apple jack asked Jackie gave her a pissed off look.
"hey fuck you" he said calmly "literally fuck you I would if I could ya single? What's your name?, never mind that's not what we're here for what was the problem again?" Twilight sighed after that one she was beginning to see what Apple jack meant.
"my friend got stabbed at the hospital and we're trying to find out who it was" Jack nodded.
"what are your names?"
"I'm Apple Jack and she's twilight" Apple Jack responded.
"so twilight why don't you run me threw your whole day the day it happened." Twilight took a deep breath.
"my friends came to my castle for a meet up until our friend got out of the hospital"
"who's your friend?" Jack asked .
"Her names pinkie pie we call her pinkie " Twilight responded.
"and why was she in the hospital?"
"Her house was burnt down because she left the oven running for to long."
"that was her? I heard about that, it was a mess so what happened at the castle?"
"we were talking for a while until my brother showed up with his wife that's when we got the call that pinkie wasn't doing to well so we went to go see her "
"and that's when it happened?"
"Ya we were told that she wouldn't make it and we went there to say goodbye after he said his good byes..."
"Hold on twilight let me stop you there for a second what's his name? The one who was stabbed"
"his name is Rick he's a very nice pony he's actually the one who saved pinkie from the fire he and his friends"
"and he ends up getting stabbed days later? Like I say bad things happen to good people go on"
"I broke down in the hospital and Rick came to comfort me and... I kissed him and when we left the room..."
"Good for you" Jack cut in with an awkward look on his face, it was silent for a while after that.
"go on"
"after awhile we heard Apple Jack yell for help she was in the bathroom at the Time and Rick was out for about three days and when he finally woke up he told me that the one who stabbed him said to stay away from her"
"that her is you your smart enough to understand that right?" Twilight nodded and let a tear fall down her cheek.
"I can't help but feel like it's my fault" Apple Jack looked at twilight.
"it's not your fault so Jackie are you going to help us?" Jack took a moment to think everything threw.
"where's your brother?" Twilight looked up
"he's staying at my castle until pinkie gets out of the hospital why you don't think it's him do you?" Jack just gave her a look, a look that said really bitch?
"No but I think I'd like to meet him"
At the castle shining armor was taking a nap kaydens had left awhile ago to go see old friends meanwhile he had fell asleep in a chair after sitting doing nothing for to long. spike was at the house he had finally come back home but he was out doing his own thing right now. Twilight let Jack inside the castle and that's when he saw shining armor in the chair.
"is that him?" Jack asked.
"ya that's him hey shining armor could you wake up for me?" Twilight asked.
"hold on a minute twi" shining said out of it a little bit.
"hey ass hole wake up" Jack said as he sat in the chair across from shining. Shining armor sat up.
"what?"
"Nothing just thought I'd wake you up" Jack turned to twilight and Apple Jack who were standing at the door frame "
"why don't you guys go somewhere else"
"come on twilight" Apple Jack said as she brought twilight to the other room.
"So your shining armor" Jack said.
"ya that's me why? Did I do something?"
"That's what I'm trying to find out I just have a couple of questions for ya" shining looked nervous.
"ok"
"so you guys were at the hospital while pinkie was recovering right?"
"Yes I came over to see twilight and I heard pinkie was in the hospital"
"and what happened there?"
"we went there to say our goodbyes and then we went home"
"and nothing else happened?"
"No why?"
"Well do you know who Rick is?" Shining armor thought.
"ya I know that he's currently staying with my sister why?"
"He was stabbed at the hospital did you not fucking know this?"
"Oh I totally forgot about that ya he's in the hospital to isn't he?"
"HE has been here for three days because he got stabbed" the room fell silent and jack got up out of his chair
" I think we're done here TWILIGHT, APPLE JACK WERE DONE HERE!" Jack yelled making sure that they heard them from where ever they were at.
At the hospital they were walking down the hall to Ricks room.
"you don't think he could have done it do you?"
"He seemed very nervous" Jack said responding to twilights question.
"he has always been kind of protective toward you twi" Apple Jack said.
"I hope your wrong" twilight said as they stopped in front of ricks door just then Gavin and Paul walked out.
"oh hey guys here to see Rick?" Gavin asked.
"ya were just here to ask him about... You know" Apple Jack said.
"ya who's this guy?" Paul asked Jack walked passed them and opened the door then he motioned for Apple Jack and twilight to come in with him and when they did he said,
"sorry but I've got shit to do I'll talk to ya later though" then he shut the door behind him. Paul looked at Gavin.
"so you think Rick meant what he said?"
"Paul we've got to remember why we're even here to start a new life, to get away from what we did plus he was talking to you so do YOU think he meant what he said?" Paul shook his head.
"I don't know."
Author's Note
Let me know what you guys think of this so far, like I said this story is already done and uploaded on a different site and it is a long one.
"So... Why do we need to get out of here Rick?" Paul asked Rick as he was in the hospital bed where he had been for days.
"what are you talking about?"
"You wrote me a note that said we need to get out of here why?"
"Paul I never wrote that" Paul pulled out the note and handed it to Rick.
"ok what's that?" Rick read the note.
"I don't remember writing this Paul I swear"Gavin looked down at Rick.
"Rick I was here when you wrote that you told me not to let anyone see me"
"I don't remember that, didn't I just wake up when I wrote that?"
"Ya why?"
"Well I must have been out of my mind because I don't remember that shit" Gavin turned to look at Paul.
"see Paul I told you"
"what ever Gavin I need to go anyway Rick I'll talk to you later ok?"
"Alright see ya Gavin you going to?"
"Ya I'll see you later though don't you leave tomorrow?"
"Ya can't wait to get back to twilights castle I've been in here for way to long "
"ok well bye" Rick had his final look at them.
"see ya" when Paul and Gavin walked outside they saw twilight, Apple Jack and someone they haven't seen.
"oh hey guys here to see Rick?" Gavin asked
"ya were just here to ask him about... You know" Apple Jack said.
"who's this guy?" Paul asked, the pony walked past Gavin and Paul and opened ricks door and then motioned for Apple Jack and twilight to come inside and when they did he said,
"sorry guys but I've got shit to do but I'll talk to ya later"when the door was shut Paul looked at Gavin.
"do you think Rick meant what he said?"
"Paul we've got to remember why we're even here to start a new life, to get away from what we did plus he was talking to you so do YOU think he meant what he said?" Paul shook his head,
"I don't know"
"well none of us do, look I'll talk to ya later Paul" Gavin said as he was walking down the hallway.
"ok see ya" Paul called.
When Gavin walked out of the hospital he saw rainbow dash that was flying towards him.
"hey Gavin want to hang out?" Gavin looked up at her.
"of course"
"well what do you want to do?" Gavin thought.
"want to race?" Rainbow dash smiled.
"ya last time we hung out it was pretty fun"
"ok last one to the bake shop loses" Gavin said as he took off.
"hey no fair" rainbow said as she took off after him.
After a couple of hours of hanging out it was getting dark out all that lit up the road was the street lights up and down the road. Gavin and rainbow landed.
"That was fun" rainbow dash said.
"it was" Gavin answered not knowing what was about to happen. Down the road there was a cart a big one hooked up to one of the houses it was sitting there waiting to go to work the next day there wasn't a garage to put it in so that would have to do. But it was to heavy to sit there and the chain snapped and started rolling down the road as Gavin and rainbow dash were talking. Then Gavin looked and saw the cart and saw it was rolling towered her.
"rainbow watch out" he yelled as he jumped on her getting her out of the way. Both of them landing in to a ditch although Gavin landed on top of her and when they landed Gavin immediately noticed he was on top of her.
"I'm sorry" he quickly said as he went to get off of her but she held him from getting back up and pulled him in to a kiss a deep one it lasted for about two minutes until Gavin broke it. Rainbow dash smiled.
"you know I'm feeling really tired why don't we go home and chill there" Gavin knew what she meant by that one.
"sounds good to me."
At the hospital Jack was still talking to Rick.
"are you sure?"
"Ya that's it" Rick said back to Jack then Apple Jack spoke up.
"ok you've looked over everything you've talked to us AND Rick so do you have an answer or what?" Jack thought one last time remembering everything.
"I think we have our man."
Jack walked into the room and looked at Rick.
"hey what's up man?" Jack said. Rick looked up at Jack confused.
"what's up?" Rick said and then he saw twilight and Apple Jack.
"hey twilight hey Jackie" they said hi back but Jack said.
"you call her Jackie?"
"Ya why?"
"Well my names Jack and I'm a cop I was asked to help your situation so... Run me by everything"
After Rick told Jack what happened to him Jack nodded.
"you were coming out of the bathroom and you were stabbed next to the bathroom?"
"Yes" Jack thought for a minute and then left the room Apple Jack followed him.
"hey where are you going?"
"Checking on something" Jack said
"go back to the room"
"like hell" Apple Jack responded.
Back at the room both Rick and twilight were left confused.
"we're do you think they went?" Rick asked. Twilight sighed.
"I don't know" twilight then turned to look at Rick.
"what?" Rick asked.
"nothing I just can't help but feel like this is my fault"
"how is this your fault twilight?"
"it's just that... Well... Jack thinks it might be my brother"
"shining armor?"
"Ya" Rick thought for a moment.
"that does make sense but I don't think he did it why would he?" Silence filled the room.
"isn't spike back?"
"Ya he is"
"can't wait to meet him... Doesn't pinkie get out tomorrow to?"
"Ya she does, you and her"
"I told you she would be fine... What's taking them so long?"
"Apple Jack stay here I'll be right out" Jack said as he went in the security room.
"who are you?"
"Jack Vincent I'm a cop scoot over" Jack pushed the guard aside and got ahold of the controls and skipped back to the day everything happened.
"Are you feeling ok?" Twilight asked.
"been better"
"I feel like that when you came here nothing's been going your guys way and when you get out of this hospital I'm going to make it up to you"
"oh twilight it's fine... I'm happy here" silence again filled the room and then twilight spoke up.
"hey before you came here where did you live?" Ricks heart dropped this is the thing he didn't want to answer the one thing that put he and his friends at risk but before he could say anything Jack came in the room.
"twilight come on we're going to your place" twilight quickly got up and said.
"see ya later Rick"
"we'll talk later" Jack said before he shut the door.
When they got to the castle Jack stormed in.
"all right you son of a bitch come on!" Twilight came up behind him.
"Jack stop it wasn't him"
"twilight it was him on the camera he did it believe it or not" shining armor stood still and didn't move.
"we've got cops outside and there going to come in and get you if you don't come out yourself" Apple Jack stood and watched she didn't think this is how it would go. Twilight spoke again.
"please tell me it wasn't you" shining armor put his head down.
"I'm sorry twilight" twilight started crying she wasn't sure of what to do meanwhile Jack got ahold of him and walked him to the door.
"not one wrong move" he said then he pulled out a revolver "or I shoot" Jack walked him out as the police lights shined on the house. Twilight followed Jack but stopped on the door step and was just crying Apple Jack came to comfort her.
"it's alright twilight it's alright"
At the hospital Paul came to visit Rick.
"hey Rick" rick looked up from his book.
" hey Paul your back?"
"Ya who was that guy"
"it was a cop that twilight brought in to help with our situation... It's a good thing you came because twilight was talking to me and she asked where we were before we came and..."
"You didn't tell her did you?"
"No Jack came in perfect timing"
"who's Jack?"
"The cop, anyway what are we going to do she's going to ask again "
"we get our story strait"
"ya when I get out of here that's what you,me, and Gavin are going to do because remember what I said no one can know." Paul nodded.
"and no one will know."
Jack was sitting at the bar having a drink until Apple Jack walked up to him and sat down.
"hey" Jack looked over.
"oh it's you hey"
"What are you doing here?" Apple jack asked concerned.
"Well... When ever I do something like that it takes a toll on me" Apple Jack looked down at his glass.
"how many have ya had?" Jack looked up from his drunken daze.
"why are you so fucking pretty?"
At rainbow dashes house Gavin was kissing her they had just got done doing there business, and were sweating so they stayed in the position they were in when Gavin finished and were just kissing now. Gavin broke it and started kissing her neck. Rainbow dash chuckled.
"well that was something different" Gavin laughed.
"I've wanted to do this since I first saw you"
"I could tell I mean the way you said hi just gave it away"
"are you still tired?"
"Ya" Gavin gave her one last deep kiss and then rolled over.
"we're ya goin?" Rainbow dash asked.
"To sleep why?"
"Why don't you just sleep with me?" Gavin didn't respond he didn't know how to but rainbow dash took care of it for him and laid him back down "sleep with me."
Twilight was sitting in a chair flipping through a photo album with pictures of her and her brother. She had teary eyes as she flipped page after page of what was once good memories but now sad ones. All of a sudden kaydens walked in.
"hey twilight... Are you ok?" Twilight looked up at Kaydens and sighed.
"Kaydens why don't you... Take a seat... We need to talk."
"Are you ready to leave Rick?" Twilight asked Rick as he got up out of his bed.
"I've been ready since we got here" twilight had already gotten pinkie pie who was at the castle waiting to celebrate twilights birthday so all that was left to do was get Rick. Twilight looked at ricks bandages which were wrapped around his waste.
"are you ok?" Twilight asked almost ready to catch him.
"Ya I'm fine" Rick replied gritting his teeth.
"why don't you lean on me?" Twilight said as she got closer
" alright" Rick sighed. As they were walking down the halls Rick saw the bathroom that he was at when he got stabbed and got a sharp pain.
"are you alright?" Twilight asked
"ya I'm fine" when they got to the waiting room twilight told Rick to sit down while she signed him out and when he did he saw one of the doctors walking up to him he wore black pants with a white shirt and a light brown vest and when he went to talk he had a German accent.
"you are leaving the hospital today ya?"
"Ya i am, who are you"
"I am the surgeon that worked on you when you were... You know"
"oh I've been meaning to find you... Thank you for saving my life"
"no problem it is my job just... Take it easy alright?"
"Ok" Rick said as he turned away "hey wait" Rick called out making the surgeon turn around.
"ya"
"what's your name?"
"Edward... My name is Edward" he said then he left through the hospital doors.
When they got twilights castle Rick was greeted by spike.
"oh hi you must be Rick I couldn't wait to meet you when twilight told me about you so how it feel to be..."
"Spike he doesn't want to talk about it right now why don't you just help me with something" twilight said as she walked Rick over to the nearest chair and sat him down spike on the other hand said what he would normally say in this situation.
"sorry" when twilight turned around she saw Apple Jack.
"oh hey Apple Jack"
"hey twilight... Are you sure you want to do this?" Twilight sighed.
"when shining armor was taken away I was very upset but when I saw ricks Bandages I..."
Apple jack grew concerned. "you?"
Twilight stared at Apple jack with a straight face "I wasn't upset anymore."
Pinkie sat next to Rick "hey" Rick looked over at the pink mare beside him.
"hey how are you feeling" he asked.
"could be better" pinkie shrugged.
"I feel ya there sister" pinkie looked at ricks bandages.
"how are YOU feeling?" She asked curiously.
"Could be better" Rick said then laughed. ALL OF A SUDDEN PAUL HAD WALKED IN
"hey Rick" rick looked over to him.
"hey Paul what's up"
Paul shrugged "nothing I heard we were celebrating twilights birthday so I showed up I honestly can't believe she's still going through with it after everything that happened"
0shit man I can't believe it either" Paul started looking around the room "so... Where's Gavin?"
Gavin slowly woke up he felt a little more relaxed than usual maybe it was because he wasn't sleeping on a couch then he remembered what happened last night. He looked over at rainbow dash and slowly woke her up.
"hey rainbow dash wake up" he said gently
"morning Gavin"
Gavin thought of something "hey doesn't Rick and pinkie get out of the hospital today?"
"Ya, why?" Rainbow asked
"Oh shit" Gavin said getting up. "we're going to be late to twilights birthday"
"why do we have to go right now?" Rainbow dash said laying Gavin back down "they can wait a minute" she then got on top of him and locked him in a deep kiss then she broke it and looked down at him "can't they?"
It was already late and Rick and Paul were having a blast instead of drinking out of glasses they were drinking out of bottles, Rick was on his second so he was pretty much wasted Paul was on his first though and he felt fine.
"hey guys I think we're all forgetting why the fuck were here" Rick called out "we're here to tell the birthday girl happy birthday so guess what twilight"
"ya?" Twilight asked chuckling knowing that ricks dumb ass was wasted.
"happy birthday!!!, But wait were also here because pinkie is out of the hospital and let me tell ya I'm really glad she's ok I'm glad that me and here are friends I'm glad that we all are so... Here's to best friends"
"I can drink to that" Apple Jack said.
It was 10:35 and everyone had left except for pinkie "thanks for walking her home Paul" twilight said as Paul and Pinkie walked out the front door.
"no problem see ya later" Paul said walking with pinkie.
"bye" twilight shut the door "Rick are you there?"
"Right here twi" Rick answered as he lay on the couch.
"are you tired?" Twilight asked.
"ya I was just about to go to sleep"
"why don't I walk you up there?"
Rick sighed "Ok" twilight brought Rick to her bed room and when they got there Rick said "what the fuck are we doing here?" But twilight cut him off when she kissed him hard and laid him down on the bed. She got on top of him and started moving up and down then he turned her over while still kissing and twilight started to undo his jacket and when it was off they got under the blankets and did as they wanted.
The next morning Rick was sitting at the table when twilight walked by "how are ya feeling?"
Rick moaned "Never ever, ever let me drink again"
"headache?" Twilight asked.
"Yep"
"well let me see if I have something for you" twilight said as she left the room and when she left Paul walked in.
"you wanted to see me?" Paul asked.
"Ya I wanted to talk to you about our story and what it is"
"ok where's Gavin?"
"right here" gavin said as he walked in "what do you need" Rick sighed.
"we need to talk."
"Talk about what?" Gavin asked as he looked at Rick.
"our story we need to get it straight"
"you mean about how we got here" Gavin asked very interested so that he didn't mess anything up.
"ya how we got here, how we met, our lives growing up" Rick replied.
"alright" Gavin said sitting down but just then twilight walked in.
"here Rick take these"
"thanks" Rick said as he took the pills and when he did twilight gave him a Quick kiss on the lips and smiled, the same adorable smile that made Ricks melt.
"no problem" she walked away and when Rick looked back Gavin asked.
"what happened to you?" Rick looked at him
"Gavin?" Rick asked as he took a pill.
"ya?"
"Shut your fucking mouth."
Jack was still at the bar. He was in a booth now but still had his little glass of booze and not long ago he ordered a steak. He was about to leave because couldn't imagine what the bill was going to be so he figured he should stop before he can't afford what he was ordering. That was when Apple Jack came and sat down across from him.
"your still here?" She asked him.
"Ya I was about to leave though" Jack said looking down at his drink.
"good I was starting to worry about ya"
"don't worry your sweet little ass I do this all the time" Jack took a long last sip from his glass until it was empty then set it down.
"all right I'm just gunna leave a hundred and let the waitress have the rest I don't give enough of a fuck anymore" Apple Jack walked him out of the bar. Holding on to him the whole time.
"ok let's just get out of here"
"Ok look if anything comes up I've got a notepad were I can send you a note... IF anything happens or if I need to tell you something I'll send you a note ok?" Rick said to Paul and Gavin.
"ya" Gavin said looking back.
"Ok remember just lay low and remember the story"
When Paul and Gavin left Gavin was the first to talk.
"so how's it going with you and Fluttershy?" Paul shrugged.
"We hang out sometimes but..."
"Just talk to her ok?" Gavin said putting a hoof on Paul's back.
"I'll try, how are things with you and rainbow dash?" It took Gavin a little while to respond.
"we..." Paul knew what he meant.
"you didn't" he said laughing.
"we did and I think Rick and twilight did to"
"why do you say that?" Paul asked confused
"When she gave him those pills did you see the way she kissed him?"
"Ya but you know what good for you guys I just hope that me and Fluttershy get together" Paul's smile turned into a frown.
"oh don't worry Paul I'm sure it will happen"
Paul looked over saw her she was at one of the stands buying food probably for the animals.
"there she is Paul go talk to her" Gavin said
"ok" when Paul left Gavin kept on walking to go home and hang out with rainbow dash.
"hey Fluttershy" Fluttershy turned around and smiled.
"oh hey Paul I was just buying some things for the animals.
" oh really? I just got done talking with Gavin"
"how's he doing?"
"Fine we were talking about how twilights been hanging out with Rick and Gavin's been hanging out with rainbow dash and we..."
"We don't hang out a lot" Fluttershy said cutting Paul off, her expression turning sad.
"no I'd like to get to know you a little better"
"oh I'm sorry it's just that I've been so busy with the animals and well... I want to hang out more to"
"Well other than getting things for the animals are you busy?" Paul asked getting a little more cheerful.
"No I'm not so let me get a couple of things and then we can hang out ok?" Paul smiled "alright"
Apple Jack was outside walking back home, along side jack who wasn't looking alright in the slightest. Finally she asked what was on her mind.
"are you alright to walk home yourself?" Jack slowly looked up.
"I'm not alright yet" Apple Jack gave him a confused look.
"what do you mean?" Jack then quickly leaned in and started kissing her she was surprised at first but then slowly went with it.
Gavin walked in to see rainbow dash closing up the windows.
"what are you doing?" Gavin asked.
"oh were scheduled for a storm a really big one so its best we lock up"
"really? I didn't hear of that" Rainbow dash turned confused.
"really you didn't? Well I hope everyone else heard because if they didn't then there screwed." Gavin was alittle surprised to hear that.
"there screwed?"
Rick looked outside the window to see very dark clouds lightning striking within them every once and awhile. Rick turned around to face twilight.
"um... Twi?" Ya?"
"We're not scheduled for a really big storm are we?"
"No why?" Twilight responded, turning around looking confused.
"Well... Did you look outside?" Rick asked causing Twilight to walk over to the window to see the clouds.
"I didn't hear about any storm."
Apple Jack slowly pulled away from the kiss that jack had pulled her into.
"are you alright now?" She asked, Jack smiled.
"ya" the sound of thunder could be heard causing them both to look up. It started raining hard. Apple Jack looked at Jack.
"your house isn't that far away is it?" She asked.
"It's not close" he said
"maybe we can stay at twilights come on" Apple Jack grabbed Jack and started running down the street.
"Rick help me barricade the windows that wind sounds to strong"twilight told Rick.
"got it" Rick said as he grabbed some items and put them up against the Windows. As he was placing the items he noticed Apple Jack running with Jack so he opened the door and yelled.
"what the hell are you guys doing out here? Come inside" Apple Jack barely had to run the wind was very strong so when they were inside Rick yelled,
"Jackie help me shut this" Apple Jack ran over to him and pushed hard against the door and then after about twelve seconds of pushing, it was shut. Rick and her were breathing heavily at first but then started laughing a little.
"Holly shit it's bad out there" Rick said still panting
"you haven't been through shit unless you've been outside" Jack replied leaning on the wall.
"I'll believe you there..." Rick said.
"oh me and twilight were barricading the Windows before I saw you two running over here, Wait until twilight sees you she'll be glad to see we have even more company until the storms over"
"this ain't no slumber party bullshit right?" Jack asked but before Rick could answer twilight came around the corner.
"oh hey Apple Jack hey Jackie" Jack slowly lifted his head up like he was shocked someone said hi to him, he wasn't used to it.
"hey"
"what are you guys doing here?" Twilight asked "I was taking Jack home when it started storming but twilight?"
"Ya?" Twilight asked.
"I need to talk to you about something" Jack knew what she wanted to talk to twilight about and his heart dropped also causing his stomach to tighten.
"I need to talk to you about something to" Rick looked over at Jack.
"hey Jack?"
"What?" He said sharply due to rick knocking him out of his thoughts.
"Come here let them talk" Jack walked over to Rick and then followed him into one of the rooms "want to see a baby dragon?"
Apple Jack sat down at the table and twilight sat down across from her. The rain tapped hard on the window never seeming to calm down.
"so what do YOU need to talk to me about?" Twilight asked.
"ok so I was walking Jack home because I'm starting to worry about him twilight, he was in the bar for over eight hours so I'm walking him home and..." Apple Jack smiled.
"and what" twilight smiled back.
"he kissed me and I kissed him back" twilight laughed.
"good for you guys... Do you like him?"
"I do... So what did you want to talk about?"
"It's... About Rick and me"
"what happened?" Apple Jack said smiling.
"the night we threw that party I told him I would walk him to his bed and I walked him up to mine instead and we..."
"How was it?" Apple Jack said with a slick smile.
"that's a weird question Apple Jack" twilight said still smiling, and now blushing.
"you don't have to answer it I'm just curious" twilight thought.
"it was... Amazing I just hope we can do it again soon"
"why don't you ask him I'm sure he'll be up for it" twilight raised her head and smiled.
"I take him and leave you and Jack alone?"
Jack and Rick were playing cards waiting for twilight and Apple Jack to get done with there conversation.
"got any sevens?" Rick asked.
"Nope" Jack responded looking at his seven card. finally twilight and Apple Jack walked in
"hey guys come to hang out?" Rick asked. Twilight walked up to Rick and said in a seductive voice.
"come here I want to show you something" Rick slowly got out of his seat and followed her upstairs.
"what's going on with them?" Jack asked causing Apple Jack to smile.
"nothing"
Paul was running with Fluttershy in the rain trying to hurry and get inside her house.
"come on Fluttershy run!" They ran into the Forrest and could see the house until lightning struck the ground in front of Paul causing him to fly into a ditch. Barely conscious Paul slowly looked up to see a timber wolf running at him but before it could reach him Paul grabbed a stick thick enough to hold him back. The wolf jumped on him trying to bite him Paul couldn't do anything to defend himself he was pinned that was when an arrow came threw the Wolfs head causing it to instantly drop. Paul looked up to see a white pony with black hair a purple stripe going threw the middle. It was an Alicorn with a brown hat and watch it also wore a black like gown with a black and purple striped scarf then it spoke. It was a girl.
"there you are I've been looking for you ass holes" Paul looked up he was shocked to see her.
"Nichelle?"
