The Torment Begins

Previous Chapter

That Night...

"Ughh... What hit me?" Luna groaned. Her eyes darted around cautiously, and hesitantly stumbled onto all fours. The room was dark and creepy, owls hooting merrily outside the window. That's when it hit her. "The laptop, duh!" Luna smacked her forehead.

The shards of glass were gone, so obviously Kora had swept it up, and later, went to bed. Went to bed... Right? Of course, she is! If she was awake she'd be torturing me by now! Luna shook her head, and peeked over the bedsheets, where Kora, Neon, and Lilac slept. She smirked slyly.

Quietly fluttering out of the room, not to awaken the insane zebra who had practically shattered her chance of a peaceful Saturday. Maybe... Maybe she could still enjoy it? It was eleven thirty now, which meant the girls had gone to bed about a half hour ago. Luna took a quick glance at the sleeping trio.

And just for safe measures, she placed a pair of poofy earmuffs on Korea's head. Perfect.

"I'm bored playing Undertale! We played this six times this month already!" Cupcake whined. Angel folded her arms.

"I'm done playing Minecraft, we spent four and a half hours on this today!" Cupcake narrowed her eyes.

"Oh yeah? Well, who needs RPG these days anyway? We're in the future!" She continued, earning a glance from Angel.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Angel questioned, then her expression brightened when Cupcake waggled a pair of VR Glasses with a pink hoof. Angel beamed with delight, and quickly snatched one.

Before they knew it, they were roaming the house with holographic visors.
"Woah... Its so..... real-ish!" Cupcake said, in a gasp.

"Realistic," Angel corrected, and Cupcake rolled her eyes and continued. "But yeah, it really looks like we're in Futuristic Space 2!"

"Yeah, kinda obvious, doncha think? WAIT A SECOND," Angel narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Cupcake knew that look, and sighed with defeat, slinging the glasses off her, across her chest and shoulder on a sash.

"Uh oh, what Mind-Rattling Theory have you discovered today?" The wingless Pegasus deadpanned. Ignoring this, Angel groaned.

"Don't you see? Something is obviously terribly wrong here!" She waved her hooves in many unusual angles like someone who'd gone mad, to emphasize her statement. Cupcake widened her eyes.

"Oh no," she gasped, covering her eyes with both hooves."Did we damage the fourth wall again?"

"No! Even worse!" Cupcake uncovered her eyes, and annoyingly shut them.

"VR glasses don't come out until years later! And, In a way, Yes, this is another fourth wall smash, but..." She trailed off, then shook her head wildly. "Do you know what time period your in?!" Angel yelled, the mare still in her state of shut eyes and stone-still body placement. Angel slapped herself.

"Cupcake, were you listening-" she popped her eyes open.

"Sorry, I-I couldn't hear you, my eyes were c!osed," she heard the sound of a slap somewhere nearby. "...but honestly, do we actually live in a time period? Like c'mon, Angie, The amount of times i've seen Iphones here is uncountable! And I blame you." Angel sighed lowly at this and gave a weak smile.

"You're right, Cake," she placed her visors back on. "Let's just enjoy it while we have it!" With that, Angel took to the air and dashed downstairs.

"That's not what I meant at all!" Cupcake called.

"Get down here! Or I'll have the milkshakes myself!"

....

"Touch one drink down there, and you are dead!"

Luna, sitting on the couch In the living room, smiled with pride. She'd actually outsmarted Kora. Some old movie was playing, while she read her third crossover comic that night. Peering over the couch handles, she glanced at the clock. 1:34 (A/N That's what time it was while writing this...) Luna gasped lightly at the time, and simply shut her comic book,not thinking to leave a book mark, or any mark, on that matter.

Crawling groggily off the couch, she tumbled off suddenly, after hearing a slap echo in the upstairs hall. Rolling her eyes, she decided to get a cup of coffee. Weakly standing on all fours, she trotted to the kitchen, where she found a little pink not with a red heart placing lovingly at the top right corner, the center, a welcoming "Open Me! ;3" on the front.

Opening the tiny card reluctantly, another note fell out-no- a tiny piece of paper. On it was written the foulest of words, which made the pegasus flinch, and throw the offending note into the soapy sink next to her now brewing coffee.

'GOTCHA!'

And on it was an evil looking smiley face.

"Oh sh--" Luna paused. "Right. No profanity..." She muttered, to no one in particular.

"AH, SHOOT, KORA!"

"woah, did you just threaten to kill Kora?" A voice lamely questioned behind her. Grabbing the nearest sharp object she could find, without following the "think first, act last" rule, Luna flung the object to the mare behind her.

Lilac lit up her horn, and held a magical shield to block the fork from going any further. She leaned against the counter and eventually let the object unfreeze from it's possision, flying strait into the wall to leave a dent of four small holes. Luna shuffled her hooves uncomfortably.

"Uhm... Whoops?" She tried. Lilac let down the shield and snickered quality quietly.

"Its seriously fine. I kinda saw that coming, you aren't the most thoughtful pony I've met..." Lilac mused, and Luna huffed.

Taking a glance towards the clock again, it read 1:50. She was beginning to feel slightly dizzy, despite the scent of hot coffee, or the Cocoa Lilac was sipping on constantly. Shaking her head viciously, she reached for a mug in the cabinet.
"Not going to sleep tonight?" Lilac pondered aloud. Luna barely heard her thought.

"Huh? Uh, I didn't plan to-- I was passed out in Tartarus for about... Mmh... Several hours. Not really exhausted..." Luna muttered, wiping out the brim of the cup with a kitchen towel.

"You passed out? Again?" Lilac raised her voice level just a bit. Enough to send her friend on the edge.

"U-uh, what did-- I mean why... A-a-again?" She nearly let the object in her hooves drop, while loosing her balance of her body leaning against the counter. Fortunately for her, she somehow managed to see this coming, and lunged for the glass object. Quickly picking herself up, she poorly hid the look of embarrassment on her face.

"Duh! You think we didn't know about-"

"It's n-not what you think-"

"...when you fainted a few months ago-"

"That w-wasnt my computer-"

"...that virus you told us about-"

"I m-meant to be on something else-"

"...was really because you'd been watching animal po-"

"OKAY, MOVING ON!" Luna screamed, shoving her hoof into the unicorns mouth. She then noted something.

"Wait, why didn't you use your magic to stop me...?" She asked lightly, wiping saliva off her hoof. It ended up somewhere in the kitchen, seeming as Luna simply flashed her hoof wildly to get the wetness off her. It left a tingly and chill feel to her fur that she did not, in anyway, like.

"Huh... I dunno, its not technically in the script..." A stack of papers popped into then air, in her aura, as she flipped crazily through them. Luna cocked her head.
"Riiight... Well I'm gonna go have some coffee and watch Cartoon Ne-"

Another slap sounded from upstairs, this time, more... Painful. Luna winced. Then someone yelped from upstairs.

AUGH!

"Geez, what the hay is going on up there?" Luna slowly turned to notice a huge smug grin on Lilac's lavender face. She shoved her several inches back.
"Uh... Ew! Don't you even dare think like that!"

"Who said I was thinking dirty, hmm?"

"YOU JUST DID." Luna proved her point by motioning to thin air with both forelegs, eyes saucer wide with annoyance. Silence soon followed, as Luna grabbed her mug and sat with her unicorn friend, in silence. Angel speedily flew down, some type of goggles placed on her eyes.

"Hey girls!" She waved, her glowing red eyes somehow managed to escape through the cracks of light that didn't quite fit her face. Taking off the contraption, she covered her nose.

"Agh, do you mind, Luna? You're attitude stinks!" She looked on the verge of throwing up.

"I told you. Stop taking pills to reject your obsession of pony-emotions. You're gonna get sick. Sirens need that energy every now and then," Luna commented, watching the Pegasus' face turn green.

"... was... Neon's idea..." She murmured though her hooves, covering her mouth. After swallowing whatever she'd choked up, Angle shuddered, and landed in a chair at the table. Cupcake began to dash downstairs, stopping when she noticed something was on the T.V.
"But you're right, I need to... Stop. I absolutely hate it. I feel hungry and sick at them same time... My mind is telling me to flee but..." She let her tongue unwillingly loll out of her mouth. "Something is telling me... Otherwise..." She whispered, staring dreamily at the stiff pegasus, who quickly put down her coffee.
"Yeah... Uh...." Luna noticed the red waves of energy emminating off her own body. Of course, duh! I just have to stop thinking negative... Uh...
"Quick... Uh-- LILAC, TELL ME A JOKE!"

"You're life." Lilac said in monotone. Luna groaned, the energy coming in increased amounts.

"Real original," she sighed, as Angel fluttered over to her, silently.

"Angel, what are you..." She trailed off as the half-siren's eyes sparkled.

"Just. Once-" Luna squeaked, felling a sloppy and wet thing slip across her cheek. She flinched, and pulled her bangs over the wet spot on her face. She looked over to Angel who landed on all fours, and stared at her thankfully, as Cupcake blasted into the kitchen for something, urgently.

"Well... This is awkward." She held up her steaming mug."Uh... Want some?"
