Tf2 analysis anarchy: tales of the green guardian
Feeling empty
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter I got shot in the head, thanks to Golden Fox, Doctor Wolf told me to take a day off from the project. Which I did, back in ponyville. Ponyville seemed more...quiet than normal.
Maybe after dodging explosion after explosion, it felt nice to be back in the quietness that is - "HEY SPEAR!!!"
And I jinxed myself, didn't i? Pinkie then came with a bigger grin than usual. And that scared me more than Toon's aim. She then said "Hey Spear! What's you up to today?! You haven't been seen in ponyville for a while! We'll actually, you HAVE been seen in ponyville, but WE haven't seen you in awhile! Where's you been!? Huh? Huh? Huh?"
A part of me wanted to tell her about my adventures in coal town so she can understand that he didn't want to be bothered today, especially after getting shot at. On the other hand, they might not like the idea of war fare in equestria. Even though it's only in one area. "It's...complicated Pinkie. I was actually on my way to sugercube corner for some breakfast. Mind hooking up with a breakfast burrito?"
Pinkie then said with a smile "Sure Spear. I was on my way back anyway. Maybe you want a cupcake and milk to go with it?"
I then showed a small smile and said "That sounds nice. Thanks, Pinkie."
As the two of us arrived at sugercube corner, we were surprised to see Rarity and Spike by the entrance. Did Spike score a date with Rarity? Nice! "Hey guys! What's you doing here?"
Rarity then turned to us, looking annoyed. Maybe Spike DIDN'T score a date after all? "Well darling, I was planning on taking My Spikey wikey here to breakfast for a job well done after helping me all last week." She then looked at Pinkie with scolding eyes saying "Till a certain pink earth pony decided to leave work and left us here waiting for a half a hour!"
Pinkie then blushed in embarrassment, forgetting that she was holding down the bakery while the cakes were out of town.
"Sorry Rarity, but I was boooooored with no customers here. But not anymore! Come on in!"
*Rarity's P.O.V*
It was about time Pinkie came back to the bakery. I love her like a sister, but I'm afraid Pinkie has more air in her head then then the local hot air balloon. But finally, we can have breakfast! Spike has been a real helpful gentle dragon the past week.
I admittedly feel bad for taking his free time away from him. But I desperately needed help with a order from Sapphire shores that needed to be done in a week. I wanted to thank him with some breakfast...but I was too tired to cook anything for my Spikey wikey And so was him. So I decided to bring Spike to sugercube corner for breakfast.
It was a surprise to see Spear out and about like this. Ever since Spike told me about how Twilight basically kicked Spear out of the library, I've been worried about him. He's been more distant to us recently, and honestly I don't blame him. Even after the success of showing off my designs to horty tolly, I still held a bit of annoyance at my friends for all their unexpected complaints of there dresses.
Except for Spear of course, who was blown away my the design of his tuxs and thanked me for such a design, and Spike who only tried to help by getting horty tolly to review my designs. I'm still wondering how he accomplished that. Point is, I'm glad to see Spear out and about again. And I'm sure my spikey wikey is happy to see him too.
I got a good look at him and noticed something on his forehead, a scoffed Mark? I then asked "Spear,what's that mark of your forehead?"
He then had a look of surprise and said "Oh, this? It's nothing. It's just a scratch. Hehe."
While he's not as bad of a lier as Applejack, he can be caught lieing from time to time. And this was one of those times. I realize make up when I see it, and he definitely has some on his mark.
I was about to dismiss it as a bigger mark then he let on when Pinkie pie showed up with our drinks. "Here's some water for making you wait this whole-" The darling seriously needs graceful lessons, since she literally tripped over her own hoofs, splashed water all over us. My make up was all ruined! But at the same time, Spear's attempts to hide the his mark of his head was ruined as well as we finally got a look and...oh darling, it was literally in his head.
Spear wasn't happy to say the least "Pinkie!!! Why did you do- ARRRGH!" I could tell the darling was stressed out about his day being ruined, and I wanted to help him. But he took a deep breath, and then said "sorry Pinkie, but I'm not hungry anymore. I'm just gonna go. Enjoy your date you two."
As Spear left, I wasn't bothered by that last comment. I was actually touched that he thought it was a date, but I also felt bad for him that his day was ruined. I could tell Spike could feel the same when he looked outside.
Pinkie definitely felt bad about it, as her mane deflated. A true sign of Pinkie's sadness kicking in. I didn't know what to say when she returned to the kitchen. Hopefully, things will patch up soon.
*Spear's p.o.v*
'Argh! That pinkie! That was too close!'
Ok so maybe I had rushed off suddenly, but I didn't want Rarity and Spike to panic if I told them that I got shot in between the eyes. 'Hopefully, today will-' *ring ring* *ring ring*
'Oh, my phone? Wonder who it is? It's probably not doctor wolf since he doesn't carry a phone, then who...'*looks to see caller i.d* 'wait...AnY? How did he get my number? Oh well, better answer it'
"Hello?"
Sure enough, it was AnY on the line. "Hey, Spear. You there?"
"Yeah, I'm here. What's up? Silverquill being a menace?"
I could tell AnY was rolling his eyes as he Said "when isn't he. But look, Ink rose needs a favor of you. Do you think you can drop by here for a bit? Doc did say you can clock out once your done."
To be honest, I wasn't in the mood to deal with tf2 chaos at the moment. But...AnY DID say that Ink rose needed a favor..."Oh, alright. I'll be there in a hour, that's how long the friendship express takes to get there anyway."
AnY sounded relieved on his end and said "oh thank Celestia! Ink has been frustrated all morning by the new girl. I'll tell Ink your on your way!"
I hung up before giving a bothered sigh. Honestly, I thought this was a pointless. I mean, Ink's a great scout! What could she have problems with? I made my way home to get my gear. Lucky, scootaloo is at school and won't be back till the late afternoon. So that'll save me the trouble of finding a foalsitter.
After packing my gear all nice and neat in a black case I had laying around. I started making my way to the train station when I saw Fluttershy coming from the market place. When she saw me...she was surprisingly happy to see me. "OH Spear! I'm so happy to see you! I haven't seen toy in a while! How are you?"
Admitted, I was weirded out on how Fluttershy acted for a minute. But I accepted it and said "I've been good. How about you fluttershy?"
Fluttershy smile then dropped slightly and said "oh...I was hoping no pony would ask, but I'm afraid I flunked again." I was surprised to be honest. I thought she was a shoe in this time. I heard from Rainbow dash, she's tried 3 times to get her veterinarian licenses and failed all three times. I was sure she could pass this time. "I'm sorry fluttershy. I'm sure you'll pass next time!"
Fluttershy then had a tired look on her for some reason and said "Sigh. I've tried 3 times and I've still can't pass the test. And it takes a whole year for me to take it again. Maybe I should a break from all that studying, I don't know how Twilight can handle all that reading and memorizing all day."
I gave Fluttershy a reasoning smile and said "don't worry, I'm sure next time you'll pass and ponyville's first official veterinarian. Maybe you need a break like you said."
Fluttershy then looked at me and said "Your right. I would go and see Rainbow dash, but she still at the wonderbolt academy. She won't be back for another week."
I sighed as I said, "Really? Still another week? Ugh, what are they doing over there? Anyway, how about tomorrow we along with Spike and Rarity go on a picnic in the park? I bet you'll like it."
Fluttershy smiled in excitement saying "oh yes! That's sounds nice! But, I can't tomorrow. I need to keep track of my animal friends and see if there ok. What about next week? I'm sure I can clear the day and we can invite all our friends."
Oh, right...that would include Twilight...great.
"Your still nervous about Twilight after she kicked you out, are you?" Ok, how is everybody reading my mind? "How did-"
"I heard from Spike yesterday. He told me Twilight been working her way to the bone trying to open the box we found in the castle of the two sisters. But she accidentally took all her stress out on you didn't she?"
Sigh...Fluttershy really can see though me, can she? "Yeah, I'll admit it. But a part of it was my fault as well for being annoying to her. I feel guilty for that. I'm not ready for that. But I'll make it for the picnic next week. I pinkie promise."
Fluttershy smiled and said "Ok spear, I'll see you next week then." She made her way though town. And now I needed to head to coal town and help Ink rose. Fast. I made my way to the station and took the train to coal town.
*1 hour later*
I managed to get to coal town and slip into my spy outfit pretty easily, where I was greeted by Ink and doc. "Hey guys. So I hear there's so training trouble?"
Ink had a irritated look on her face. I haven't seen that look since my first day on the job when toon rocket launcher when crazy and almost blasted me to pieces. She then said "You have NO idea how hard it is to break in somepony who doesn't know the first thing about Stealth. She just runs in, guns a blazing, and nearly gets herself killed."
I sighed and said "sounds like a certain rainbow Pegasus I know. And you want me to teach her about stealth?"
Doc calmly nodded and said "it would make training go more smoothly if she was giving a crash course on stealth to improve her skills."
I sighed as I thought of trying to train a showboat how to be stealthily. Oh sweet Celestia, help me.
I met up with the new blue scout, and I was right. She WAS a showboat. Her name is Kim possible. She's basically the pony version of her human counterpart. And like her, she's a a show boat and is also called the "discord princess" I walked up to her and asked "Your the new blue scout?"
She then looked at me with a bothered look and said "Your the one who's teach me stealth? Ugh, But I don't DO stealth."
I rolled my eyes and said "look, I don't want to do this on my day off either, but it's gonna happen. So let's get this over with. Now you can't just kill willy-nilly. Your class while fast, has low health and low ammo count. So you need to make your strikes court. Observe."
We made our way to our practice target. And that would be Silver quill. Something about him just screams walking target. We got closer...closer...clos- "yeah, this is boring."
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! She has less patience then me! She just started to beat him with her bat. Thankfully I got out of the way before Silver quill could unleash his ammo on kp. But before he could even do that. Golden fox shot him in the head while he was distracted...well at least it wasn't me.
It turned out that kp worked well with distraction better then stealth. So doc decided to help her to break the mold on the traditional scout main and help her to grow.
I sigh as I slanted on the side of a charred building when Ink walked by saying "how you doing Spear?" I sighed and said "well, kp gonna be a tough nut to crack, I nearly got blown to bits by silver, I got soaked at sugercube corner, and I never got breakfast. But, I've had worse mornings. "
I saw Ink's face looked concerned as she asked "well would you like to join me in the mess hall for some lunch? We've got pizza~"
That sounded good right now, so I joined her for lunch as we talked about star and the forces of evil headcannons. I guess I didn't felt completely empty after all.
