Beeps and Whirz (age 8)
Chapter 3: Carry on
Previous ChapterChapter 3:
Still shocked by how much his first friend in Ponyville changed by the appearance of her cutie mark, Beeps laid in his bed in his foreign town and contemplated how or why she changed so much. To confused to talk to his mother about it Beeps came home from school, the bombardment of insults that Diamond Tiara spit at him still stuck in his head. 'Why would she say those things, we were all looking for out cutie marks,' thoughts like these continued to play in his head.
Beeps and Whirz mother was still up, doing taxes and cleaning dishes from that afternoon’s dinner that she had given to Beeps in his bedroom, she walked up the stairs to go to bed, checking in on her only child like she did every night. When she opened the door she saw the small colt staring at the ceiling with a strange expression on his face. She sat on the bed next to him and looked at him with concern spread across her face.
"Honey, what’s the matter, didn't you have fun on your first day of school?" DubWubs questioned her child.
"Yeah I did, but it's just that there was this filly, she befriended me at the start of the day. She introduced me to her friends, but when she got her cutie mark during show and tell she turned on all of us. Does that happen to everybody when they get their cutie mark?" She could tell that this was troubling him deeply, though he made many new friends that day, Beeps was still questioning the day’s events.
"No sweetie, she just over reacted, she will probably be back to her usual self tomorrow, if not she's missing out. You have lots of friends now, why don't you just play with them?" Still wanting her son to feel better, DubWubs now was questioning whether or not she even wanted her son interacting with such a rude filly. But what she wanted most of all was for her little colt to be happy. "In fact I think she will feel terrible for treating her friends like that, talk to her in the morning. I guarantee you she will be back to normal." Dubs said this and even in her own mind she believed it. This was going to be a goo place for their family. She kissed Beeps goodnight and walked to her own bedroom. Beeps laid and stared at the ceiling until he eventually drifted into unconsciousness.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The next day:
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP *SMACK* Bulls eye. 8 years he's been on this planet, 5 sleeping in his own room, all those days waking up to the pestering sound of an alarm clock it was no wonder to him how well he could hit the sleep button with his eyes closed. Beep wasn’t stupid he knew it would comeback so he sat up to turn it off. But it was too late, by the time Beeps turned off the alarm clock he was fully awake. Trudging down the hallway sighing in defeat Beeps began his daily routine. First shower, then get dressed... sometimes, then eat, get books, done, ready to leave by 7:30. Before he knew it, he was on his way to school. This was also the first year his mother allowed him to walk there alone.
"Why howdy there Beeps, Whatch'a up to?" Beeps heard the western accent before he even saw the small yellow filly walking towards him.
"Oh, hi Applebloom! You walking to school?" Beeps greeted her, excited that he knew that he had at least one walking partner at the start of the day.
"Well ah sure ain't flying there, bein' an earth pony an' all." While Applebloom was busy giggling at her own joke Beeps saw the error of his previous question. "Now that ah' think bout' it why aint' you flying to school Beeps?" Applebloom knew that most Pegasi liked flying so it was odd to her that he was using the ground as transportation.
"Yeah, ahhhh, I really can't fly yet, my wings are too weak," Beeps actually didn't like discussing this, it was a touchy subject, he used to get teased all the time at school for his lack of flight.
"Don't worry Beepy you ain't alone, Scootaloo can't fly either, people around here don't usually mind it or bother her about it that much, being a mostly unicorn and earth pony town." Beeps head shot up, he knew he was behind for his age but he never took into account that on the ground another Pegasus might have the same problem as him, knowing that many ponies in this town weren't Pegasi now gave him new confidence that he could start off with a clean slate.
"Thanks Applebloom that actually does help, and by the way where is Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo anyway? Wouldn't they be walking to school as well?" Beeps asked seeing that there were many foals walking to school but none of his newfound friends besides Applebloom
"Well Rarity is very protective over Sweets, she walkers her to school evry' day cause through Rarity's eyes everyone else but her is a foalophile, and Scootaloo...ya' know I don't even know where she lives, maybe on the other side a' town, im gonna' need to ask her someday, ya know?"
"Yeah, Sweetie belle’s with her sister and no one knows how Scootaloo gets to school so it looks like it's just me and you walking to school from now on," Beeps said happily, being glad that he had such nice friends on the second day of school. Overall everything was going perfectly, it looked like Ponyville was going to be the utopia Beeps was looking for.
Out of the corner of his eye Beeps saw a pink filly, but more importantly he saw an extremely extravagant tiara ON that pink filly's head. But it was when the pink filly turned to him that he knew either his problems will be resolved, or are about to get much worse.
