Chapter 2: Interrogation, Part 9

{*Omniscient point of view, Ponyville Library*}

All the ponies in the room went silent. No pony spoke a word, mutter a sound, or even breathed. It seemed like time stood still after Griffin’s sudden outburst. Rainbow Dash stopped flying and fell to her hooves. Fluttershy somehow found the courage to stand her ground and watch the following events unravel. Everyone was wide-eyed, except for the human of course, instead which made a glare that could slice through steel.

“JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO ME FOR ONCE!” Griffin continued to scream. He stood up and checked his audience, making sure he was the center of attention.

“I don’t care what the fuck is going on, but you two DOUCHEBAGS need to stop it right now! Stop fighting and bickering over events that we can’t control! We all obviously see the huge storm outside tearing up the streets of your little town, and yelling at each other’s faces won’t fix anything! It’s out of our control! We can’t stop the rainfall, and we can’t stop lightning from setting the houses on fire and we can’t stop trees from falling down from the wind! We can’t do anything, and we just have to deal with it!”

Griffin let out a huge groan of frustration. The squabbling ponies around him brought him over his limits. He could no longer hold in his patience and wait out the over-dramatic scenes of friends ‘bonding’. He was like a bottle of pop, shaken to the point of exploding. Clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, he scowled at each and every individual before sitting back down on the sofa.

“I can’t believe what has happened to my life.” Griffin muttered, putting his face into his palm. “First I get whisked off to another planet without my consent, then I get mentally disturbed by some abnormally colourful ponies, then I get questioned like a criminal,” Twilight winced at his words. “and have to witness a bunch of verbal brawling in the middle of a library!”

“But I thought you arrived here on a-“ Rainbow Dash cut into Griffin’s flow of thoughts.

“No, I did NOT arrive here on some stupid, fucking spaceship! As far as I can tell, I just appeared here all of the sudden. Poof! Gone from one planet just to arrive on another! I don’t even remember what I did to get here, IF I did anything! And I don’t think I deserve this! Now I’m lost, gone from my home. What will my parents think? They’ll probably panic that their son’s gone from the face of the Earth! How ironic that my species was looking for intergalactic forms of life, and I just happen to find some without my free will. Fuck!”

The six young mares glanced at each other with worry and concern. What was their next step? Who was going to say the next word? Seconds ticked down like hours as the raindrops continued to pummel the library’s windows.

“Well…. I’m sorry Griffin that we did not think of your opinion sooner.” Twilight spoke, her face showing remorse.

“Yeah, whatever! I’m pretty sure that you didn’t think of what I felt, either! Or what I was thinking while I was being interrogated forcefully by beings that could control magic! Or even if I wanted to be here or not! And even if I had a choice arriving on such a planet such as yours!”

Griffin paused to take a breath.

“No, you PONIES didn’t think about anything of the little human being that sat in the big red comfy sofa, answering question like a little good alien! No one thought that their accusations could bring pain to such a creature, or that their words could create low self-esteem, or if that their fighting could cause more stress to the alien then needed!”

Griffin stood back up again.

“And do you know what else I have to say to all of you?”

Everypony in the room looked anxious and nervous beyond belief. Applejack backed up a bit away from Griffin, biting her lip. Rainbow Dash shrank herself down, covering her head with her hooves. Rarity, looked like she was going to faint. Pinkie Pie’s mane was flatter than a ruined soufflé and her overall colour looked darker. Fluttershy had tears already flowing down her face. And Twilight was asking herself if her decision to bring in the human to Ponyville was a bad decision or not. Whether or not if she just doomed all of Equestria by bringing the wrath of a true extra-terrestrial to her planet of Equiss.

Griffin first pointed a finger towards Rainbow Dash.

“Fuck you!”

He moved his arm to face Applejack.

“Fuck you!”

He continued towards Rarity.

“Fuck you!”

And Pinkie Pie.

“Fuck you!”

Griffin thought about pointing at Fluttershy, but decided to skip because she seemed like the only nice pony in the room. She actually defended his rights! That’s more than any human would have done back on Earth. Instead, he turned to face his last target.

“And most importantly, Fuck you, Twilight Sparkle!”

You could cut the tension in the air with a butter knife. Everypony was shocked, appalled, frightened, distressed, and a bunch of other negative emotions. No pony had the will or the rightful mind to challenge Griffin’s position of power right now. Thoughts were going off in everyone’s heads. The adrenaline was running if Griffin decided to attack one of them. Griffin let go of his face full of scorn and allowed gravity to take a hold of him. He flopped onto the sofa behind himself like a rag doll.

“No one even bothered to tell me where I am.”

That sentence seemed to snap everypony out of their stupor. Fluttershy was the first one to act by gliding up softly to Griffin and give him a great big Fluttershy hug. The others smiled softly and approached Griffin to do the same, but stopped when he embraced the yellow pegasus and turned away when one of the other mares tried to approach him. He sniffled, clenched his eyes together and remembered how to breath properly. His vision blurred as he felt his cheek become wet with tears.

(Why am I crying?) Griffin asked himself. (It’s not like anything major has just happened. So why am I crying? Stop Crying, Griffin! Stop crying! You’re making a fool out of yourself, sobbing like this! You’re not even at home! Stop crying you big baby!)

Griffin softly cried to himself while the 6 mares around him witness the human get a hold of himself. After a minute or two, Griffin let go of Fluttershy, allowing her to back up and give him some space. This is when he noticed that Fluttershy was crying too. Twilight took this moment to approach Griffin again (with caution) and try to fix her mistakes.

“You’re right. You’re completely right, and I should have thought more about what you thought or felt, not what question I should ask next. And I think that everypony in this room, except for Fluttershy, should have done the same.” She looked towards her friends, all of them understanding. “I’m sorry, Griffin, for ignoring your needs.”

“Me too” Added Rarity.

“And me” Rainbow continued.

“Y’all can include me” Applejack joined in.

“And me!” Pinkie Pie chirped.

“And I think we all owe you some answers.” Twilight stated. “Especially me. I need you balance out the answers you’ve been giving me so that we’re even. I will tell you everything, but right now, I just need you do one more thing for me. Is that ok?”

Griffin looked up towards Twilight. “What is it?”

“Can you answer my final question?”

Griffin inhaled, trying to keep the mucus in his nose. “Sure.”

Twilight didn’t even have to bring up her paper or quill to write the results of the next question.

“Can you preform magic?”

Magic. *Snort *Snort*!

Anyways, I'm trying something a bit different with the plot. I'm not sure how it's gonna end up, but we'll see. Be sure to leave a comment on how my writing skill are! Are they good? Are they bad? Let me know!
