The Story of J

I felt like I drifted endlessly down a path of murky darkness. It was thick like a fog and I seemed to just drift in it. I took a deep breath and exhaled. Suddenly the fog lifted and it its place a forest surrounded me and where I stood directly in front of me was a large campfire. It crackled softly as the fire consumed the huge logs of wood. I wasn’t there for much longer when I was joined by other people. We all sat by the fire entranced with the way the fire flickered here and there. “You have been neglecting us.” One of them spoke. I couldn’t tell who thy all wore cloaks to hide their faces and clothes. I saw nothing but cloaked men standing around the fire. At least I assumed at the time that they were all men. “Wake up it’s time we get this dreaded meeting over with” the same voice spoke to me again. This time when he finished speaking I snapped awake.

My eyes flew open as I took in my surroundings. I was once more in the library that I had once escaped. The others were all sleeping in chairs or couches or on the floor. All six of them were near me probably making sure I didn’t sneak off again. I tried to get up noticing that I was tied to the chair and the chair didn’t seem to budge no matter how much I shifted. I checked my appearance to see if I was hurt badly. My head felt like someone had been using a jackhammer on it but other than that I was alright. I wore nothing but my tattered pants that were now more shorts than anything. I relaxed myself knowing that in my situation there was nothing else I could do. I closed my eyes and concentrated on feeling everything around me.

I could feel the air around me hear the soft snores of the few mares and the more noticeable one of Rainbow and Cowgirl. I could hear their breathing and noticed that the injuries I had inflicted upon them did not faze them. They were healed or somehow got better in the time I have been asleep and when I had awoken. I took a deep breath and took in my surroundings. The rope was tightly bound and reinforced with magic it seemed. The chair too for that matter felt like it had magic in it as well. I twitched as Pinkie mumbled in her sleep about a party. I opened my eyes to greet the sunrise touching the room. I knew that now that I had been caught that it was either fess up at being more intelligent than I had let on or become Twilight’s new experiment. I shuddered at the thought of her experimenting on me.

It was then I noticed Cowgirl staring at me realizing that I was awake. She saw me staring back at her and we held the staring contest for a minute before I shouted. “Boo!” She damn near jumped out of her skin as did the rest of the girls as they were spooked awake. I laughed my ass off at the sight of them. “Buhahahahahahaha, you should have seen the looks on your faces. Hahahahaha ohh, that was priceless.” I was rocking in the chair laughing so hard tears started to form. “Wait you can talk?” Twilight asked clearly shocked along with the rest of the girls.

“Nooooo, this is all in your imagination and I am merely the little part of you that has finally snapped. Of course I can talk, do you see my lips moving the sound coming from my mouth? One could deduct that speech would be very probably if such sounds come from such a creature as I.” I was clearly patronizing her and she didn’t like it very much looking at her expression on her face.

“No need to so rude about it I was just asking you.” She replied

“And I was just telling you Captain Obvious that you are correct and have succeeded in pointing out the obvious to us all. I’m guessing that common sense is not in any of your dictionaries? Of all the terrible things to happen to me I get the dimwitted ponies. Why have you forsaken me?” I looked to the roof as I asked the last question as if expecting god to come down and say ‘I just like fucking with you man it’s always a riot seeing bad shit happen to you.’

“Ummm, who are you talking to?” Twilight asked,

“Ooh I wanna guess, can I guess?” Pinkie jumped up and down

“Of course you can guess and if you get it right I’ll give you a cookie.” I responded in a tone one uses when talking to a dog to call it stupid in a bright and funny way as if the dog doesn’t understand it.

“You were talking to the roof huh??” She looked at me expectantly hoping she gave the right answer.

“How did you know, you’re such a smart little biscuit aren’t you?” I said in the most sarcastic way possible.

“Yeah I am” Pinkie responds puffing up her chest as if she was swelling up with pride.

“Pinkie ya ain’t a biscuit and a think he’s bein sarcastic.” Cowgirl interrupted.

“Mr. Monkey wouldn’t lie to me would you?” Pinkie looks at my hopefully.

“Damn straight I would and of course I was being sarcastic. You’re no better than Captain Obvious over there, probably worse.” I replied indicating to Twilight with my head when I called her Captain Obvious and she scowled at me, as did Cowgirl. If I didn’t know any better I’d also say that Pinkie’s hair sagged a little at being insulted.

“Hey that isn’t very nice Mr. Monkey!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“Never said I was nice and why would I be nice after being called out of my name? My name sure as hell ain’t Mr. Monkey and unless you like to keep your mouth you’ll stop or I’ll rip out that little tongue of yours.” I responded evilly.

“You wouldn’t do that.” Twilight responded. “You specifically tried to incapacitate us and I noticed that you could have killed us at any instant. Why didn’t you?”

“Well to answer your first question how about you untie me and see me rip her tongue out of her mouth.” They all paled a little taking me dead serious. “And to answer the second question.” I answered, cutting myself off intentionally to add to the intensity of the conversation. I didn’t say anything for a while and Twilight got tired of waiting.

“Well?” She asked.

“Well what?” I asked back.

“Aren’t you going to answer my question?” She asked.

“Why should I?” I countered.

“Because I asked you.” She said as if that was good enough reason.

“Well then…” I cut myself because I knew most of their names but they didn’t know that I knew and they didn’t need to know. Keeps them guessing and makes me seem more smart or more like an ass. I really didn’t care what their impressions of me where to be frank.

“Twilight Sparkle.” She said

“Well then Ms. Sparkle, because you simply asked me to answer your question does not mean that I will answer it. Would you jump off a cliff if I asked you?” I asked.

“No, I-“she tried to say but I cut her off right after she said no drowning out her answer.

“There you have it; you yourself would not follow your own terrible answer. Think about the terrible anarchy that could amount to such terrible and ludacris ideas. Why your fellow ponies could go mad from such thinking. Imagine the horror of having to give away your house simply because somepony asked them too. What would you do? Well the obvious answer is to ask for your house back. Suddenly you have an endless triage of ponies asking for ridiculous things of others simply because all one must do is ask. The anarchy this line of thinking could stir. Why countries would lie in disarray because the workers got tired and wanted a break and all they had to do was ask for it. Then those workers realized that they can just ask for the money because it would be given to them simply because they asked for it. You’ll have children running the streets eating candy and consorting with whores because all they had to do was ask for it. You’ll have animals running amok the population no one to taking care of them, the guards not there revolting the idea of work when they can just ask for more money. Ponies could die get killed, or maimed or injured and hurt badly. All simply because of one idea, all because, Ms. Sparkle thought that anything could be given if it were only asked.” I finished my speech and looked at the many faces the wore of horror, amusement, shock, disgust, confused and disbelief.

“That couldn’t possibly happen at all.” Rarity answered first shocking me into realizing that a number of them had not spoken.

“And you are?” I asked.

“I am Rarity.” She replied curtly as if she was sticking up her nose to the idea of conversing with such a brute as I. She actually did too the stuck up bitch actually turned up her nose at me.

“Well then, bitch I can clearly see the superior species here seeing how I beat all of your asses out there in the forest. So how about you humble yourself to my level and see that I could have just as easily skewered your ass out there and had some nice cooked pony roasting over a spit.” I told her malice coating my words. I hate the stuck up always have and always will.

“You don’t eat ponies.” She said rather fearful and unsure of the validity of the statement.

“You sure about that? Pony meat can’t be all that bad.” When I said this I saw Fluttershy faint. Wait…No…No, no, no, no. I tried to get out of my binds in terror as I saw her there. She was the reason I would forever be scared. “Let me out!!!! I will not be in the same room as that demon!! Get that demon away from me. As far away as possible, I’ll even answer some questions, just get her away!” I screamed in fear at them. They were all shocked and even more so when they figured out I was talking about Fluttershy who had feinted.

“Fluttershy isn’t a demon.” Rainbow said speaking up for once.

“You didn’t see what I saw in those eyes. The pain and the anguish I felt. Never again, just get her away from me!” I was close to hyperventilating as my body freaked out at the sight of her and I could feel the images surface my mind.

“Rainbow take her back home we’ll watch over it.” Twilight said.

“But-“Rainbow tried to argue but saw how futile it was. She took the unconscious Fluttershy outside and I started to calm down. It took a minute to regain my calm.

“So what was that about?” Twilight asked.

“None of your damn business” I responded gruffly.

“But you said you would answer some questions!” She practically screeched at me.

“I did, you just didn’t like the answer.” I laughed at her scowl but froze at what she said next.

“Maybe we should call back Rainbow and Fluttershy.” She said mockingly. The rest of them giggled a little at the joke.

“I’ll kill you.” I responded coldly and devoid of emotion. "I’ll kill everyone you care about right in front of you before I kill you. Don’t ever fucking joke about that again.” Everyone’s faces dropped and no one dared respond to my threat all of them fearing that I just might do it. It was then I noticed that Spike was there by Twilight’s side. “Yo, Spike how you doin?”

“I’m f-f-f-fine.” He stammered fearfully.

“Well look you want answers and I want out of this chair and binds, so let’s call a truce and I’ll promise not to harm any of you ponies.”

“Ah don’t know ya ain’t been the most reliable for honesty.” Cowgirl said.

“I gave you my word. That is the most solemn oath any of my kind can ever give. My word is my pride and if I say I’m going to do something and I promise it, you best be damn sure that even if I do die I will fulfill that promise. Maybe you don’t understand that maybe you do but you ain’t getting much out of me in this chair.” I said with a serious tone.

“Well I guess for now that it’ll have to do but I'm going to send a letter to the Princess about this. I probably should have done that sooner.” She says, releasing my binds and finally allowing me to move freely. I stood up and cracked my back and stretched my aching body.

“J.” I say clearly for all of them to hear.

“What?” Twilight asked.

“That’s what you can all me. J.” I say again to them.

“Well ah’m Applejack” said Cowgirl or Applejack now.

“And I am Rarity” said Rarity still a little stuck up but not as much as before. I merely harrumphed at her.

“Oh I’m Pinkie Pie and your my new bestest friend J were going to make the bestest of buddies!” Pinkie says jumping up to my face and wrapping me in a tight hug.

“Uhh, I just threatened to rip out your tongue and now your hugging me?”

“Ohh I knew you were kidding your too nice for that, besides the author’s and I have an agreement and he knows better than to break a Pinkie Promise.” She says the last line looking towards the bookshelf as if someone was watching us over there. Yea crazy huh and here I thought I had it pretty bad.
