The Wolf

Chapter 5: Complications

By: Wolf

We lounged around in Fluttershy's cottage for awhile. I took in the details. It was small, even by pony standards. It had several pictures, mostly of 'Shy and Dash, the kitchen was in a back corner, I assumed this was what most houses were like here. We sat until I decided to break the silence.

“So...”

“What?” Dash asked.

“Any plans for today?”

“No, I’m off work for a few weeks.”

“Ah, crap, I need to get a job here.” I mutter.

“I hear there's a new nightclub opening.” Dash replies.

“I hope they're hiring...”

~-<>-~

I left he cottage and walked around town. It was getting dark, so I decided to try and find the new nightclub. I eventually found it. It was very bright, with a lot of florescent neon tubes that made the sign and all of the outlines of the building. I walked up to the bouncer and asked,

“You guys hiring?”

“Who wants to know?” The bounder replies.

“Me...”

“No shit, come on in.” He says as he walks in.

The inside was dimly lit. There was a large DJ both. I was wondering who was the DJ until a white mare appeared beside me. She was a unicorn that had a double 8th note as her 'cutie mark,' she also had an electric blue mane. She asked,

“What are you doing here?”

“I'm looking for a job.”

“You came to the right pony, I’m Vinyl, the owner of this club.”

“Well, we still need a bar tender... Ok, you have a job, come here at 7PM tomorrow, kay?” She informed me.

“Can do, see you tomorrow.”  I replied as I walked out of the door. I was walking back towards the cottage, but something caught my eye in an alley. I sneaked up towards the alley, there was a thug wielding a knife, he was some earth pony with a dark gray coat and mane. He was walking towards another gray pony. The other pony in question had a treble clef as her cutie mark. She was cowering in the end of the alley. I tapped the mugger on his shoulder, and as he turned around, I punched him in the face. Several of his teeth flew out of his mouth. He stumbled into the wall, and then jumped at me. I instinctively ducked and he flew into a wall with a sickening crack. I walk over to the gray mare, she was still shaking with her eyes shut.

“Hey, you don't need to worry about him.” I told her.

“Oh, thank you, let me bring you to my marefriend's club.” She replied as she walked passed me. “Oh, I said that out loud!” she winced.

“It's fine, I’m living with Dash and Fluttershy.” I said as a tilted me head to the left and rose an eyebrow. Her eyes widened as she slow pieced together what I said.  “Oh, and is your marefriend a 'Vinyl' by any chance?”

“Yeah.” She whispered. “How did you know?”

“She offed me a job, I’m supposed to come back tomorrow at 7PM.”

“I'll tell her about what happened. See you at work.” She said as she walked away, rather provocatively I might add. I facehoofed right there.

“Yeah, maybe I’ll bring my wife with me tomorrow...” I said.

“Oh... Heh heh...” She blushed as she started to walk faster. I rolled my eyes and continued my walk (without interruptions) back to the cottage. I opened the door and walked in, closing it behind me. I then collapsed onto the couch.

“How did the interview go?” 'Shy asked.

“Fine, although the owner's marefriend has the hots for me...” I replied.

“Heh, niiiiiiice...” Dash said.

“Do you know a 'Vinyl?'” I ask.

“Yeah. Best DJ in Equestria. Why?” She replies.

“She's the owner.”

“WOW! Didn't know she was a fillyfooler!” Dash said. I assumed that meant 'lesbian' and decided not to pay attention to that.

“Be that as it may, it's my only source of payment at this time.”

“Well then, don't screw things up, and Celestia stopped by, she decided to 'speed things up.'” Dash informed me.

“What do you mean by that...?” I asked.

“With the babies, they're due in a week now, AND what'syourwife's name is having twins.”

“Great... and her name is 'Setura.'” I reply.

“Setura? That's way to hard to remember. I'm going to call her 'Snowflake' due to her cutie mark.”

“Whatever, I suppose everypony else will to now.” I complained.

“Heh, well I’m off to bed, see you later...” She said as she walked up the stairs into her room with 'Shy.

“Wow, they've been real good at hiding their relationship...” I said to no one in particular.

“Indeed.” Celestia said as she sat next to me.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, trying not to sound rude.”

“Warning you, your foals will come out in an adolescent stage as a side affect to my magic, so they'll need to attend school, so will Fluttershy and Dash's child, I expect you to act on this.” She said as she simple disappeared with a 'pop.'

“The fuck?”
