A mailman?
Meeting a royal
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI had to say I was loving my new body...if it wasn't for my A9 I wouldn't be able to keep up with the sugar filled pony known as pinkie pie! As we entered town we were giving looks of all kinds though the various races in the melting pot known as Ponyville. Racing through the crowd we entered the castle of friendship sadly I didn't get the chance to get a good look of the surprising amazing crystal palace we raced through the main hall to the hall of friendship where Twilight, Starlight, and spike were doing paperwork.
"HEY TWILIGHT!" I guess they didn't see us enter because when pinkie almost yelled the three did the same thing I did when I first met Pinkie pie.
"Jesus Pinkie don't do th-" Twilight stopped when she looked up from now messy pile of papers and looked right at me.
"Twilight I want you to meet my new friend Six! He just came into town and I thought you would like to meet him!" The party pony said as spike and starlight looked at me.
"Um...Pinkie I-" Twilight was at a loss for words as she pointed to me but spike on the other had walked over to me.
"Whoa...nice get up you got there dude where did you get it?" He asked me as I spoke.
I froze at what he asked knowing all to well I got this off the corpse of a dead NCR riot trooper but decided to play ball.
"I made it," I told him as he looked up and down.
"No way!"
"Yes way," He then began to circle me as Starlight walked over and looked at me.
"How long did it take for you to make it?" He asked.
I placed a hand on my gasmask's chin as I hummed.
"About a few months and I've been upgrading it when I can," I tell him.
"Whoa..." Spike was speechless.
"Names Six by the way little drake what's your name," I asked.
Snapping his head he cleared his throat and puffed his chest.
"I'm Spike the dragon number 1 assist to princess twilight sparkle and friend to the elements of harmony," He holds out his hand as I shook it. "It's nice to meet you..Six was it? Man was your mom and dad love math that much or something?"
I waved him off.
"Nah it was the only one I decided to take with me," I told him causing the drake to tilt his head. "Long story,"
Starlight hummed as she looked at the bozar on my back.
"Is that some type of weapon on your back?" She asks pointing to my trusty rifle.
I nodded.
"Yeah but don't worry I use it only to defend myself," I tell her as she nodded.
"Interesting is it some kind of black powder rifle?" I shake my head.
'Good to know that they do have have firearms,'
"It's more advanced than one of those simple single shot weapons," I tell her as she tilted her head.
"Do you mean it fires more than one shot?" I nodded.
"Yeah like I said far more advanced than what you think," I tell her as she then began to look at my get up.
"Where are you from Six you look like you're dressed for war," She told me.
"Well my home isn't as peaceful as yours it's always good to be prepared for anything," I told her as she was going to ask me another question but twilight teleport before me.
"ARE YOU A HUMAN!" She asks, placing her hands on her shoulder.
'Oh boy the jigs up,'
"Yeeaaahhh?"
"H-how did you get here I thought only ponies can use the mirror!" I titled my head playing dumb.
"Mirror?"
She blinks as she let me go and looked at me.
"Wait what? You didn't use the mirror?" I shook my head. "Then how did you get here?"
"Well that's a long story best you sit down first,"
And with that they did I began to tell them about me being her for almost a few months after my teleporter malfunctioned sending me here. Ever since then I've been wondering about the land of Equestria with really no proposal but when I heard of the mixpot known as Ponyville I decided to come here and make a name for myself since the other towns didn't really like a non-pony living there. The fours Listen to my story with great interest, when I finished Pinkie raised her hand which made me smile of her child like nature.
"Yes pinkie you have a question,"
"What are parties from your world like,"
'wow they took my story for reals,'
I rubbed the back of my head as I spoke.
"Well you see Pinkie where I'm from we really don't have...parties," She tilted her head.
"Why not? Aren't there birthday parties where you are from?" I shook my head.
"See Pinkie my world is very...dangerous to say the least and supplies to do that are very hard to come by,"
Starlight spoke up.
"How so? What is your world like six?" She asked as I turned to her.
"Now that is a different story all together," I state holding my duster bane style.
Twilight hummed as she looked at me.
"Why don't you tell us six I can grade these papers later," She told me as I turned to her.
"Are you sure...it ain't a pretty one," I warn as she nods.
With a sigh gave a nod back.
"Alright then hold onto your hats cause this one story isn't for the faint of heart,"
(One fallout lore later)
"Pinkie please your getting my duster all wet,"
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW! Thats so saaaaaaaaadddd why would those meanies do such terrible things!" After I told the group of what happened in my world pinkie went 'deflated' and ran over to me and gave me a big old loving hug.
"Pinkie that happen almost 200 years ago,"
"But still so many poor people!" Her tears were almost water fountains of water as I sighed as one of the tear streams was right on my helmet.
'God I hate being wet,'
Twilight, starlight, and spike held looks of sorrow as well but not as bad as pinkie here. Spike sunk in his seat while starlight was wide eyed and twilight she held a look of fear on her face. The very thought of the entire planet being nuked drained the color right out of her as she held her head.
"Six...I'm sorry to hear that," Twilight finally said as she too gave me a hug as I sighed.
"Twilight it happened a long time ago I've gotten used to it by now," yet she hugged me tightly as did pinkie.
This was embarrassing.
(Shortly after proceeding the information)
Though the group was a bit shattered from what I told them they still where uneasy about the idea of mass genocide.
"Six," Looking up at twilight she held her hands together as she looked at me.
"I am thankful you have been honest with us about what your world is like and I understand why you carry these...'guns' you have but I kindly ask you not to use them on any of my fellow ponies nor any other race," I gave a nod.
"Of course these weapons are only to defend myself Princess I said this before," I told her.
"Yes I heard you before but I must tell you things are different here than your home and I wish you could follow the rules of Equestria if you can," She tells me.
"I can I mean I've been here for a few months now I know how things work but I think you can understand if I wish to carry them...I have serious PTSD,"
Pinkie sniffled as she looked at me.
"What does that mean six?"
"Post traumatic stress disorder...it means I've become very...ah what is the word?"
"Vigilant?" Starlight asked and I nodded.
I then took a deep breath before speaking.
"Now let's stop feeling sorry for me and come to why I came to Ponyville in the first place!" I started taking the ponies and drake by surprise.
Twilight tilted her head before realizing what I meant.
"Right right you said you wanted to make a name for yourself right Six?" I nodded.
"Yes my dear princess," I did my best Alastor impression without the radio voice. "But besides that I came here so I can have a home of my own,"
She tilted her head at what I said as she held a look of confusion.
"Don't you want to go home?" I shook my head.
"No! This place is so amazing! And besides I don't think I can go home the teleporter was severely damaged," I told her.
"Aren't you worried about your friends back home Boone, Cassy, your own adoptive grandmother Daisy? And what about the strip," She asks as I sighed slightly.
"I will miss them but if they saw this place I think they would understand and besides Mr. House can take care of the strip without me hell. He's been doing it for 200 years before I came along. I think he can do it for another 200 years without me," I tell her as Twilight nodded slightly.
"I see your point there Six," I smiled.
"Very good then now it’s getting late and I think it's best for me to find a hotel to rest my head for the night. What is the best place in town that is highly recommended?" I asked.
"Hey you can stay here until you get a place of your own," Spike through out as I turned to him.
"What? nonono I don't wish to intrude you all must be very busy I think it-"
"Spike is right you can stay here till you get a home of your very own Mr. Six," Twilight said as I moved back slightly.
"Are you sure I can always-"
"No its fine besides this is so we can keep a close eye on you so you or anyone won't do something rash," she tells me as I hummed before nodding.
"Very well princess I shall take up your offer," I tell her as she smiled.
"Great! Spike can you show Six to the guest room?" Spike got up with a smile.
"Sure come on Six follow me,"
With that I followed the young winged drake.
(with twilight)
The princess of friendship sighed as her close friend looked at her.
"He must have been so much," She states at twilight nodded.
"I could only imagine the nightmare that Six has been though...after being shot in the head and that awful Mojave place? I don't blame him for being so...so...so,"
"Armed?"
Twilight nodded before turning to starlight.
"Can you sub for me tomorrow? I'm sent for Celestia and Luna to come tomorrow to meet Six so we can have a princesses heart to heart," She asked Starlight as she smiled a nodded.
"Of course I'll tell the six that you're busy with the princesses I'm sure they will understand," Starlight said as Twilight turned to the door where Spike and Six took.
'Poor Six,'
