Chapter 1: First Day in Canterlot

Um, hello. I don't even know who I'm talking to but, if you're listening to me, hi. Wait, didn't I say hi before? Um... yeah... well, I'll present myself to you. My full name is Walter Theodore Waters but you can call me W. I am a 24-year-old guy that was born in Los Mantos... the best city of Equestria and the world, baby! If you want to know more facts about me, I have brown hair, yellow skin, and at the moment I'm wearing some dirty jeans, black shoes and my beloved brown trenchcoat that belonged to my father. Oh, and I am also a gangster. Yes, you heard it right, a gangster.

When I was 6 months old, my parents died in an assault in a little city called Wayneville. Since that day, I moved along with my elder brother, called William, to an orphanage, where the Bluebloods, the family of Mortimer Blueblood, Canterlot's Governor, adopted my brother weeks later. I stayed on that orphanage until the day of my tenth birthday because of three guys who committed a heist to it only to get me. That same day, I found out my parents were big fishes in my town. My father almost controlled all the streets of Los Mantos until an unknown rival killed him and my mother. Those three guys that rescued me from the orphanage turned into my family, and their names are Jack, Abe, and Ron.

Since the moment I knew my parents were murdered, I wanted to avenge them...I wanted to become a gangster. They taught me how to be a mafia man since that day, and now, I am a Mantos fish (or maybe I could say, shark), eating any kind of prey that comes across me. I also want you to know that I and my buddies can do any kind of thing: heists against the biggest corporations, good ol' drug-dealing and also we can be hitmen (only if you pay, because if you don't give us the money for what we do, you'll be the next).

Now, I'm in a Mantos party, the best things ever. You look around with your red eyes filled with weed, and you can be in front of a naked lady or a bucket full of alcohol. Sometimes, drugs may appear in the middle, like cocaine, fentanyl and my good old teenager friend, my boy LSD. I know this is something horrible for me, because I had had an overdose years ago, and I almost die. Jack and Abe want me to leave drugs, but the truth here is that I already left drugs, but they can't leave me because I'm a fucking drug-dealer... Wait, does the thing I said make sense? Um... Fuck this.

It was almost 3 A.M. and a blonde girl with a nice dress that appears in front of me, she wants me. She's almost on fire.

"Hello," she says. When I hear her voice, I instantly know she's drunker than ever.

I only answer her with a smile. She looks at me with her dilated eyes.

"Can I sit next to you, please?" she asks me.

"Yes, of course," I answer.

She sits on the same sofa I am staying right now. We are now together watching the colourful lights that are in all the house along with the men and women inside it. Everyone is in their world with rules. Lots of them are drunk, drugged or have already passed out. Other ones are junkies that want money to get something to eat for tomorrow, and the only option that they have is selling ecstasy. God, I hate those pills.

"What do you think about this?" she asks me.

I laugh at her. What can I say about this party? I'm with a fucking bong in my hand. I'm high and also drunk. I've lost count of how many shots of tequila I consumed.

"Oh man, I'm starting to feel like shit..." I say, and I leave the party.


I'm now outside the house. It's cold, windy, almost foggy, a normal night in Los Mantos. The only thing that remains is the typical group of junkies sharing their blunts. I'm gonna tell you about Mantos' junkies: There are only two types of them, good ones and bad ones. The good ones always stay inside a park all night and smoke their joints. The bad ones are different, they snort a little bit of cocaine or ecstasy and attack.

"Yo." I hear. His voice... it feels like he's in a hurry... I instantly know he's a bad junkie.

"What you want?" I tell him, in a very smooth voice. I feel bad, like if I'm passing out.

The man does not answer, and I know why. Jack's behind him.

Let me present to you... Mr Jack Tyler, my best friend in this business. He's a blue-skinned 44-year-old guy that survived a lot of misfortunes during his life, such as his father's death or also his wife's. He can be thick as a brick sometimes, but he's a good friend that can hide all of your secrets. Besides, he has a pretty neat circle beard! Man, that's so cool! I wish I could have one, but my facial hair is almost invisible. "Hey, buddy," he says to the junkie. "Here you have." Jacky gives him a hundred bucks. The man looks at him, smiles while grabbing the money and runs away from there. "You are so sane right now, W. Congratulations," I hear from Jack, while he starts laughing. You know what, buddy? I think... um... fuck you.

"Jack, I need... I need... an antacid." I tell him with my high voice.

He gives me an antacid and carries me into a car, where is also my friend Abe.

Abe is different to me. He's a light, blue-skinned man on his fifties (or maybe sixties, no idea). He's tough, scary, has a cool orange moustache, and now, that Ron's on holidays, he is my boss. He's a tough grandpa! And guess who he has as granddaughters: Rarity, a hot fashionista and the other little girl who I don't remember her name. Maybe it is Sweetie Belle or something like that... Well, nevermind. I'd like to add another thing here: Both girls were born in Canterlot, a city full of greedy, mean, selfish and idiotic people. It is not necessary to tell you that I hate Canterlot. Viva Los Mantos, baby!

Um... well, let's go to another topic. I need to listen to some music, dude. I'm high as fuck and I seriously need to calm myself down. I'd better listen to the Travellers, an awesome and relaxing band from Manehattan.

"Jack, what do you think about our deal?" tells Abe to Jack.

"Good, the only problem here is... W." he says.

Despite the fact I'm drunk, I can hear them and understand what they are saying. I'm inside that deal, and if they say I am a problem there... that doesn't mean anything nice.

"Walter," says Abe to me.

Oh, great... and when somebody calls me by my real name, I know that the deal it's not gonna be something I love to do.

"I'm going to send you somewhere."

"Where?" I ask. I think they will send me to La Lima, the poorest city of Equestria, to look for some meth. You know Ron has a brother? And his name is Tom! See that? Ron, Tom, Rom, Ton... oh, jeez, what am I saying? Well... Ron has a brother in that city I told you, La Lima, and he's a methamphetamine cooker. Now thank me for being your trivia.

"You'll go to a place you hate. A lot."

A lot? Oh, I know what you mean, Abe... fuck.

"I'll send you both to Canterlot."

NO! Why, Abe, why? What did I do to you? And then I release a long and disappointed sigh. Come on, Abe! Canterlot? The toxicity of that place is worse than any other city inside Equestria. I remember the first time I went to Canterlot. I was only 16 years old, I went with the illusion of visiting the best city of all Equestria, but once I got out of there, I learned it was just a pathetic city full of rich kids.

"And I'll tell you why: My granddaughters were threatened by Barnes. I talked with Principal Celestia a week ago about this problem."

Well, we have two bad things in that sentence. First, the words Principal and Celestia. That's related to Canterlot High, as known as Canterlot's anus. It's a school whose rooms are filled with the city's shit. What I mean with shit? I'm talking about those students, which have a huge amount of Canterlot's greed and lust. On the other hand, the second bad thing there is the word Barnes, I think Abe's talking about the Barnes Brothers, three weirdos that sell guns illegally in the black market. It looks that Abe didn't pay them what he had to pay and now I have to save their granddaughters' asses along with Jack.

"The only thing I want you to do is to take care of my granddaughters. I know that you, W, are not the best babysitter in the world, but getting you out from Los Mantos would be a big advantage for me."

Oh yeah, I love babysitting kindergarten girls, Abe! I have a degree in it! Wait, is Sweetie something in kinder or not? Bruh, nevermind. The important thing here is that now it's 3:15. We are going to Canterlot while I'm listening to some jams. And also, the highness is leaving my body. I feel sober now and I'm not even complaining about my hunger. Thank God.

"Turn that junkie music down, W. You are making me crazy," says Abe. I want to answer him I won't but... no. I shouldn't. I turn off my phone and I start sleeping.


"Wake up. We arrived," says Jack to me.

Shit... I feel worse than before. I thought a little nap would fix me, but it didn't! I get out of the car and I look at two women. I've heard about them: Principal Celestia and her sister, Luna.

Abe starts talking to them: "Principal and Vice-Principal, here you have the men that will take care of my granddaughters. Mr Tyler will be at your orders, but I recommend you to be cautious with Mr Waters, he can be... dangerous."

I feel bad Abe, but that doesn't mean I can't hear you, son of a bitch!

Well, after a long trip and a bong, I arrive at this shitty school and the Principal and his sister present it to me. After almost an hour of looking at useless things for me, like classrooms or other things, they FINALLY give me a mattress to sleep. I'll take the nap along with Jack in the janitor's room. They also told me that the janitor is on holiday. Yeah, you heard it: Janitor on holidays.


"Wake up, W. It's almost 10 A.M.," says a voice. It's Jack, holding a coffee from the school's cafeteria.

Fuck. I pinch myself to check if this is a nightmare, but nothing happens. It's real. I'm in Canterlot High. I can't even believe it, because it happened so fast... Yesterday, I was in a tubular (my apologies for saying that word) party, and now... Come on. I'm inside this.

The first thing I do is getting up of my mattress, which very comfy, I admit. I look at myself in my old phone's screen, and I realize that my hair is completely dishevelled and my face is notorious for its massive eye bags. I try to wake myself up stealing Jack's coffee and drinking it. He discovers me and punches me in the shoulder.

"How many times are you going to steal my coffee, man?" he says, angrily. "Now go and look for another one!"

Well, at least that thing woke me up a little bit. I get out of the room and I look around inside a hallway full of teenage students. Once I put one of my feet in that hallway, everyone looks at my face. Holy moly, mom, I'm famous. While I'm going to the cafeteria to look for some coffee, I hear things about me. Is he a new student? Is he a professor? Look at that guy! He's hot! Thank you, lady, who said I was hot.

I enter the cafeteria and I come across Rarity. She looks at me and recognizes my face, something that makes her angry. He's along with a big, red-skinned guy with blonde hair who is using a red t-shirt and some jeans that look like they were made in 1984. Man, who in the fuck is still wearing elephant leg jeans? Update your mind, man! However, there's something that calls my attention here: everyone inside the cafeteria is scared while looking at him. Who in the hell is that guy? A bully? God?

"What are you doing here?" asks Rarity to me.

"Hello, Rarity. Good morning."

Rarity growls. "Ok, hello, W, good morning. Now, what are you doing here?"

"I came here to take care of your ass," I say with a wide smile, trying not to defenestrate myself and escape from this hell.

The guy with the red t-shirt interrupts my conversation.

"Hey, cyka. You are talking to a lady."

His accent is very different from a Canterlot one. And he told me... cyka? Is he a Russian guy? Woah. I'm going to answer him in my style.

"I know... cyka."

The Russian guy exhales air from his nose. Holy shit, he's a bull! Nah, I'm lying... wait! Then he grabs my trenchcoat. He's strong, something very common for a Russian man.

"Listen to me, bitch. I'm the man who controls all this school so, don't piss me off or you'll pay... And I'll repeat you because you seem to don't understand, I am the man inside this school."

What the hell has just happened? Did this guy tell me... that he's the MAN?

"Really? Are you the man? Oh my... In my city, Los Mantos, the men you are talking about rule the whole town, from what I see... you only rule a stupid school. Besides, those elephant leg pants make you look like a stripper."

Some students laugh with my commentary but Pietro turns around and shut their mouths with his eyes. "Oh no, Los Mantos..." says Rarity, trying not to vomit. Come on! Los Mantos is not that bad! It may be full of drugs and hitmen, but... it's a beautiful place!

"Thank you for your commentary although I don't give a damn about what you say... and, oh... you are from Los Mantos." says the Russian man. "You may know my uncle, Nicholas Plegovich."

Oh shit. I've never seen Plegovich in real life, but if there's something I know about that madman, is that he's the capo of Equestria... I mean, he is the one that controls the whole country... to summarize my explanations, he's like a president for the gangsters. Abe told me that people described him as an intelligent and ruthless psycho that could destroy everything he wanted, even his own family... And sadly, despite this Russian kid's terrible behaviour, I have to show him respect.

"Yes. I've heard of him," I say, with a smile on my face.

He laughs at me, and says: "Now, apologize to my girlfriend, fucker."

WHAT? WHAT THE FUCK? Does Rarity have this specimen as a boyfriend? Poor Abe, man. I wanted to mock them both again, but I didn't do it only for this guy's uncle... I'm afraid of that guy.

"Ok... Rarity, I apologize for my behaviour."

The Russian man laughs at me one more time. Oh, dear kid, your best remedy right now is my fist on your bloody face... Both of them go away, Rarity smiles at me like the bitch she is. I try to forget this situation by going to the cafeteria and asking for the coffee Jack told me he wanted. When I ask for the coffee, the old lady that works in there starts talking to me:

"I saw you arguing with Pietro."

"Pietro?" I ask her.

And suddenly, a young girl with rainbow hair black lycra pants and a white t-shirt with a cloud and a rainbow appear.

"You said that name?" says the rainbow girl while looking at me.

"Me, Rainbow Dash," says the lady from the cafeteria. "I saw this kid confronting Pietro."

Then, this Rainbow Dash looks at me. "Yeah, I hate Pietro so much that I can't even see him, so I looked at you for only two seconds... it's the first time I see someone doing that."

I nod my head. Why people are so scared of him? Why are they so surprised by what I did? That guy may be dangerous because he's Plegovich's nephew, but he's not Lord Tirek or something like that!

I give them my opinion: "Yes, but... I don't understand something, is that guy a god or what? Because people seem to be very scared of him."

"He is an arrogant bully," says Rainbow Dash. "Wait right here, please."

Seconds later, Rainbow Dash brings a girl with purple hair and glasses, um... I've got to admit she looks like a nerd.

"Tell him, Twilight, what Pietro did to you last week," says the rainbow girl.

The girl blushes in front of me. Oh god, I expect this girl didn't fall in love with me, I expect. "Um... well, I unintentionally pushed him because... I tend to be distracted. He lifted me and told me that I shouldn't have done that... a-and Rainbow Dash came there to save me."

Rainbow Dash smiles at me. "Consider yourself lucky, Mister..."

"Call me Walter," I tell her.

"Well, consider yourself lucky, Walter! You confronted Pietro and you didn't finish your day with Nurse Redheart!"

Meanwhile, the old lady gives the coffee to me. I ask myself, what is Jack doing at the moment?


Jack

I sit down in the janitor's room and I start thinking. Canterlot. A place I love and hate. The city where I came across my wife, the city where I met the love of my life. Oh, god. Why did she go? Why?... I try not to cry, but I know a tear will come out from one of my eyes.

Not only I feel devastated because of my late wife, but also I feel guilty. Guilty for not taking care of her, and guilty... for another person too. I will never forget the day I came across the second most beautiful woman I ever saw in my life: A lady I don't want to remember, but now that I am in Canterlot, I think of her all the time. The difference between my wife and her is that she's alive... and works here.

"Jacky Boy! I have your coffee!" says a familiar voice. It's W. I grab that coffee and instantly the bell rings. Lots of students get out of their classroom, even Rarity, and Sweetie Belle... Wait, what? Is that Pietro Plegovich next to Rarity?

"Hey, W. Is that guy Pietro Plegovich?"

"Shut the fuck up, Jack," says W while growling. I almost have a fight with him in the cafeteria. It's a fucking bully, and listen to this..."

"What?"

"It's Rarity's boyfriend..." says W before laughing loudly. "I imagine Abe's reaction to this whole situation. It'd be the best thing I've ever seen in my life. Imagine that... Abe breaking tables, kicking Russian people..."

Suddenly, two masked guys appear and lift W. A third man traps me with his arms.

"Listen, you motherfucker!" says one of the masked guys. "You won't touch Pietro's lady ever again!"

Pietro's lady? What?

"What, dude? I didn't touch Rarity, calm down."

"We are not talking about the Fashionista, we are talking about Rainbow Dash! She's one of Pietro's girls that is inside the list of girls he wants to fuck! WE EXPECT FROM YOU NOT TO PISS PIETRO OFF, BITCH!"

Those big men let W go, the third man pushes me to the floor and all of them run away. W looks at me, shocked. Is Pietro Plegovich... controlling this school from the shadows?


???

I've been waiting for this moment for almost an hour. I hide in the bushes again, while all the little students are coming out of the school. In the middle of that stampede, only one girl calls my attention: Sweetie Belle, Abraham's granddaughter. She's my objective right now.

Luckily, she seems to be playing Hide and Seek along with her friends, and that's a big advantage for me. I have everything under control, my behaviour and even hers. Now, she starts running and approaches to the bush I am hiding. I have to be fast because nobody has to see me. I text my brother to come to the school, I also tell him that I am ready. I'm ready for the kidnapping.

She's near me. The car stops in front of me, and I grab her leg. My other two brothers get out of the car and we grab her. She shouts, but we fastly cover her mouth with our hands. She can't do anything, I feel tears touching my hand while we get her inside the car.

This is for you, Abraham. You son of a bitch, I tell to myself. I get in the car and I accelerate. Bye, Canterlot High.

To be continued...
