Chapter 13: 'Fitting' In

Twilight looked back at me in horror as I let the gun fall to my side as I put it back under my shirt and out of sight. We continued to walk for a little while until something came to mind.

"Aw hell, hey Twilight, think I can meet all of your friends today? I have really nothing else to do. I AM supposed to be the peacekeeper here but I haven't actually been told what to do yet. I have yet to actually PROPERLY meet your friends." I questioned Twilight as we walked.

Nodding she spoke up. "Yeah that's a great idea, come, follow me. We can all go to Rarity's, we always meet up there today anyway. We can go there early." Twilight finished changing course.

"Alright then." I chipped in following her.

'I also REALLY do NOT want to go back to the library, just in case Celestia is still there' I thought to myself as I nearly passed out. 'Holy shit....'

"Holy shit...." I said aloud getting Twilight's attention.

"What is it?" She asked tilting her head as we walked.

"I just realized that I basically just said 'Fuck you' to the ruler of this place AND the one who gave me a job... oh I am sooooooo fired." I said chuckling. 'In more ways than one...' I thought to myself as I recalled her cutie mark.

"I'm sure she will forgive you. They were after all your weapons, even if they were kind of dangerous to have around I'm sure she can understand your anger." Twilight adds in as we near a weird looking building.

Twilight takes a few steps ahead as we near the door and knocks a few times.

*Knock knock knock!*

After a few moments you could hear a sing along voice ring out as the door opened and out stepped the singer.

"Welcome to Carousel Boutique! Where eve-" She stops herself as she opens the door to see Twilight. "Twilight! Nice to see you! And early as well!" She said aloud as she walked up and hugged Twilight. Noticing me she turned to look at me. "And you must be Deckard, I do recognize you from when we had that incident at the library with spike. But we never got to be introduced." She said as she straightened her posture. "My name is Rarity, and I run this fine establishment you see here. I make beautiful dresses and repair other clothing whenever the need arises." She finished as she gave a nice smile.

Nodding my head I looked back down at her, meeting her gaze. "Yes I mentioned we should meet, because we never got properly introduced, " I said as I kneeled down and lifted her hoof. "My name is Deckard and I am a human from another dimension." I finished as I planted a light kiss on her hoof.

'I wasn't the most mannered person in the world, but when it came to meeting a true lady or anyone of a manner such as Rarity's, I always treated them with respect... as taught to me by my mother...' I remembered as I stood back up from the blushing unicorn.

"Also I must add, this place looks.... really neat. I haven't seen a building quite like it before." I added looking at it.

And I hadn't, I swear it looked fucking WEIRD.

Shaking her head a bit she turned to Twilight. "Twilight you never told me how mannered your friend was!" She added as she motioned us inside.

"I have never seen him do that before..." Twilight said eying me up.

Raising my hands in a defensive manner I spoke up. "Hey, I was brought up to always respect a lady." I said as I looked around. "And that's not really you Twilight." I said as she looked a bit embarrassed.

"Oh is that so...." She replied obviously irritated.

Shaking my head I tried to patch this up before it got out of hand. "No, I treat her like that because I see her as a lady. I treat you how I do because I see you as a friend, someone I can just go say hi to or act how I want to act and we are still happy." I said smiling at her.

She perked up a bit pleased with the answer. "Oh well... when you put it like that I guess." She replies as she walks to one of the couches in the building.

"Wow, you have a lot of cool stuff here. How much would it be to get you to make something for me?" I asked hatching an idea.

"Oh my usual fee is usually dependent on the quality you want. But since you are one of my friends now, not to mention such a gentlecolt, I can accept a request from you. Why what did you need?" She asked walking towards me.

I looked at her with amazement in my eyes. "Wow really? Are you sure? Cause some of the stuff here looks really expensive."

"Oh pish posh, it's alright deary, now what do you need." She asked as she levitated a notepad and pencil.

"Hm...." I hummed aloud as I though of how to go about this. "Do you have any.... eh... leather?" I asked with a awkward smile.

As she slowly drops the notepad and gives me a disgusted look I look away.

"I guess not... anything that can match it's light weight but at the same time strength?" I asked with hope.

"Yes darling I have some materials that can mimic that... uh... kind of stuff. What exactly do you need?" She asked as her pencil neared the notepad.

Having the perfect image in my mind I walked over to the pad. "Uh, may I?" I asked as she happily gave up the notepad.

As I quickly scribbled down a bunch of sketches, scrapping it whenever I got it wrong, I finally came out with the correct design. I could never explain my strange drawing ability, but it just kind of... came to me. As I showed it to her she blinked in surprise and did a double take.

"Wh-what is that? Why would you want something so... scary looking?" She asked in amazement.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm going to be the towns peacekeeper, so I gotta look intimidating, plus it's from one of my favorite video games from a long time ago." I finished as she took the notepad from me. "Oh also, here." I added as I pulled my gun out, removed the bullets, and handed it to her. "It's not a toy so don't play with it. Keep it for measurements. For that holster there. Make it a tiny bit bigger for any other gun to fit nicely." I said pausing for a moment. "Also, I will bring a rifle later to show you it. I want a nice holster for it on my back." I said smiling and waiting for an answer.

After a few moments Rarity finally spoke. "It's not like it will be difficult, but I just need measurements, do you mind?" She said as her horn lit up.

As I shook my head 'no' she shot some blue magic at me. I could feel it line my whole body as it scanned all of my stats. Including my height, and probably my weight. As I saw her blush a bit as she finished the magic a thought came to mind.

'I did tell her what to not scan.... didn't I?' I thought to myself as I went a bit red.

"W-well... I had better go put this... in my study. You can uh.... go and wait on the couch. I will be right back and our other friends should be here soon...." She said as she quickly trotted off.

Shaking the thoughts out of my mind I walked over and sat next to Twilight on a couch. "So, how long until you think everypony will get here?" I asked, trying to make smalltalk while I wait.

"Oh not too much longer, we meet here at the end of every week to get together with our pets." She says smiling at me.

"Where is your pet? I haven't seen one... or are you saying I'm some kind of pet?" I respond, acting hurt.

"What? Oh nononono that's not what I meant it's just...." She fumbles her words trying to make an excuse.

I just bust out laughing. "It's alright twilight... I'm only kidding. But seriously... where is your pet?" I say again as I wipe a tear.

Rolling her eyes, but still giving a slight smile she points out a window. "Oh somewhere out there... Owlicious usually hangs out at the Library later at night." Twilight finishes as she looks at me.

"Owl....icious?" I ask smirking.

"Yes?" She replies tilting her head.

"So... your not kidding.... oh my god Twilight..." I say to myself as I facepalm. 'Oh Christ I knew things had weird names here but come ON'

As we waited a bit longer for all of her friends to show up, I kept thinking about the future, and what my place here will be. 'But either way, I will look badass as hell' I think to myself as the sketch of my future peacekeeping armor floats through my mind.

Minus the gas mask thing and metal pieces... of course

'There is no way this could backfire...' I concluded in my mind as I heard the front door open.

"Tank wait!" Yelled out a voice as something green propelled towards my head.

*CLUNK*

"Did anyone get the number of that truck..." I moaned out in pain as everything went black.
