Time 10:33 A.M.
Our walk to Twilight's house was spent in quiet. I was still calming down after my confrontation with that mare and how I almost just killed someone that didn't deserve it. If post traumatic stress disorder is going to be a problem in my life now, I have no idea what to do. I look up to where we are going and it's that tree house thing. I've caught Twilight sneaking worried glances at me from time to time. I paid her no mind about since I understand her concern. We approach the front door to the house and Twilight opens it up.
"Spike! I'm home." Twilight said as she stepped inside and motioned for me to come in. Walking in it doesn't look like a home but more of a library. I can see a couch and coffee table in the middle with stairs off to the side and another room that goes off to somewhere. "Spike I have some pony...well different with me. So please don't panic." Twilight says as I turn around and close the door.
"Why would I freak out about some pony?" I hear a young boy's voice behind me. Turning around the blood drains from me as I see a purple and green gecko. My hand instantly reaches down onto the handle of my revolver as we both stare at each other silently. "uhh. Hi I'm Spike what's your name?" He waves at me and Twilight realizes that I'm tensed and speaks up.
"Don't worry Spike may be a dragon but hes a friendly one and my number one assistant." She beams up at me. I shake my head and relax.
"Sorry about that. You remind me of the geckos back home." He nods while Twilight gets a curios look about her.
"Geckos?" Spike asked me.
"Yeah. They've been mutated by radiation and are about the same size as you. Even walk upright like you. Some can even shoot fire out of there mouths." His eyes widen at that fact and he gets a little worried. I glance at Twilight to see her writing this down for some reason. Where she got the notepad from I don't know but her writing this down has me worried.
"Are they dangerous?" Spike asked me shaking. Kids guess they're the same no matter what type of creature they are.
"Very. Can outrun most people and are omnivores, so they eat anything they can." He looks more worried now. better put his mind at ease. "Don't worry though. they're only common back home and even then they are mostly in the west." Spike calms down now and wipes the sweat off his forehead.
"Phew I'm still a baby dragon and can't run very fast. You still haven't told me your name still." Spike says. I go to reply but Twilight beats me to it. I have a feeling being interrupted is going to be the norm now.
"Right proper introductions, We can go over it with some drinks." Me and Spike follow her to the room at the back. It's a decent sized kitchen with a fridge,sink,oven and table. I sit down at the table with Twilight while Spike starts getting us glasses of water. "So like I said proper introductions are in order." Twilight clears her throat. "I'm Twilight Sparkle. And that's Spike." She points a hoof at Spike as he sets the glasses of water down by us.
I nod at Spike and speak. "I'm Ranger Wolf of the New California Republic."
"Or as I like to say Wolfy!" Pinkie pops out of nowhere and we all jumped as she made her sudden entrance.
"PINKIE!" Twilight yells as she gets over her adrenaline. "I told you to go get the girls." Pinkie pulls a chair out of thin air and sits right next to me.
"I did and they are on the way. I just hurried back so I didn't miss anything about my new friend." Pinkie's face get serious as she looks at me. "You didn't say anything about yourself right?" She stares at me like a drill instructor would.
I can't help but gulp. "No Ma'am!" I said sharply.
Pinkie stares me up and down than gets a big smile on her face again. "Good. Because the rest are about to be here." Just then the door opens up and I can here more voices.
"Why in the tarnation are we here again for?" That sounded like Applejack.
"Because darling Pinkie said she needed us all here to help 'this Wofly pony' and Dash make friends." That voice sounded very posh.
"Girls! We're in the kitchen." Twilight said as I hear them come in. As they walk in I instantly recognizes Applejack and Dash but the other two I don't know. One was a pure white unicorn with purple curled hair and gems for a cutie mark and the other one was a yellow Pegasus with long pink hair and pink butterflys for her cutie mark. She hides behind Applejack the minute she see me.
"Well howdy there again ranger guess that was you who caused that ruckus back in town?" I nod my head and see Dash flinch when I look her way. I sigh and walk to her. She flinches back even more when I reach her. I kneel down to her level as every one stares at us.
"Listen." Dash looks at me while I talk to her. "I'm sorry about what I did. I was having a bad flashback when you attacked me and wasn't thinking straight." She calms down as I apologize. I'm a man and part of being a man is acting like one and acknowledging what you did wrong. Dash looks at me for a while then sighs.
"Yeah I'm sorry for attacking you in the first place. Cool?" She holds her hoof out in front of me while I fist bump it.
"Cool." Next thing I know me and her are face to face and are being squeezed.
"YAY! Friendship!" I hear Pinkie yell right next to our heads as me and Dash start to gasp for air. As me and Dash get our life forced squeezed out of us we look at each other and say our final words.
"Nice meeting you." Dash gasped out.
"Like wise." I replied back as all of a sudden I fall back words with Dash on top of me. Air flows to our lungs as we gasp for it.
"PINKIE!" We hear the girls yell at her. As we lay there gasping for air the yellow pony walks to us.
"Are you two okay?" She asked.
"Yeah Flutters I'm fine" Dash said between breaths. She looks at me.
"I'm fine to Ma'am." I say back to her as Dash and me get up. As we get up I can't help but to poke fun at Dash. "Jeez Dash not even been out on a date and your already on top of me." The room goes silent as I crack that joke. Dash blushes but quickly calms down and retorts.
"Hey as I recall you were the one on top first when we meet." I chuckle at that.
"Nice come back." We both laugh and the others just stare at us like we're crazy.
Twilight looks like she's about to explode. "What?" She asked.
"Hey we just survived a near death experience with each other." I reply while Dash finishes it.
"Yep and now we have that bond forever." Dash says while we hoof/fist bump. We all start laughing at how confused Twilight was. She walks back to the table and hits her head against it and groans.
"Well now that's out of the way I'm Rarity dear." The white unicorn says as we stop laughing.
I give a little bow to her as I greet her. "Pleasure to meet you Ma'am." I say to her.
She blushes as Dash makes a gagging sound in the background. Rarity Glares at her. I look at Applejack as she moves out of the way. "You already know me sugercube." I see the yellow pony trying to hide in her mane. She's so cute. I slowly walk to her and kneel down to her level like I did with Dash.
"I'm Fluttershy." She whispered quietly. I barely heard her as she said that.
I nod to her as I stand up and introduce myself to all. "I'm ranger Wolf of the New California Republic." Pinkie hops in front of me as I finish speaking.
"Or Wolfy! For short." She said happily in front of me. I just shake my head at her while Twilight looks up with a crazy expression.
"Can I ask questions now?" She asked with a twitch in her eye. I can't help but fell dread.
