Welcome to the episode 2 ! Wow ! Already ! Well. The same thing that I say, " comment, rate (have a cupcake if ya like it) and spread".
I really hope that this become very popular to bring all the kind of ponies together !
Thank you and enjoy !
One week after the first episode...
With a big and load yawn, Scaler the teenager dragon, was awake. Feeling comfortable in his bed, he thought seriously to don't leave the bed.
" Ar...Got to open the library..." Said him lowly to himself as he slowly got up and took the blanket off him. His room was the same size as Hank's but just without any modification, unlike Hank's that seems to be a completely different room. With all the high technology and all...Scaler really didn't got that much from him.
Hank was decent as in-mate, but very quiet. Almost all the time, he was locked in his room, building "stuff" that he said that Scaler would never understand for being a "over-sized lizard". That name really didn't bothered Scaler anymore, since he thought about it and concluded. " I AM an over sized lizard...".
As he went to the bathroom to get clean up, he wondered why Hank loved sugary foods so much. Not that he ate all the time, in fact, he barely saw Hank eating anything, which was very weird. But when he saw him eat, it was always something sugary. Cupcakes, pies, ice creams, donuts, even sugar itself. When he asked why Hank loved that stuff so much, he simply answered " I just like it. Something wrong with it...? There is something in sugar that satisfy my needs....very...aww..."special" needs...Now could you stop asking so I can eat my damn cupcake ?". It was normal a pony enjoy sugar, hell, even him liked sugar but Hank had simply a fascination for it.
Other thing he started to wonder, as he started to read his list of duties, was why Hank had an imaginary girlfriend called "Cassandra". He always seems to demand something from her, thought, it was very cold. " Cassandra, show me tactics of how to avoid enemies.", " Cassandra, show me the maps.", " Cassandra, tell me a joke, a GOOD one this time !", " Oh Equestria...I need a cupcake now ! Cassandra ! Tell me how to make cupcakes ! " and a ton of others like that. Hank also seemed to feel followed, always looking back, always keeping his watch on windows and doors. When he asked Hank why, he simply said. " Because you never know when it will strike...what will be....when will be...you never know."
As Scaler opened his door, scratching his back as he yawned again, he wondered why Hank was so mysterious and confusing to understand. He had many theories but his mind soon came back to reality as he stopped at the kitchen, looking at Hank on the table, eating donuts. " Morning...".
Taking a bite from his donuts, he turned his eyes to Scaler, keeping a normal face. Oddly enough, in the first days, Hank never seemed tired, but yesterday, by the morning, he could barely move. When Scaler tried to help, Hank pushed him away from him, yelling. " DON'T TOUCH ME, YOU DIRTY LIZARD ! THIS IS MY TROUBLE AND I WILL FIX IT !". Hank didn't came out that day, but this day was different. He was perfectly fine, the only different thing was a strange necklace on his neck. A very simple one, a blue band holding an octagonal golden object. " Morning." Answered him before Scaler could ask anything about the necklace.
Scaler stared at the necklace as he went to the chair to sit down. " Good necklace. Where you bought ? " Asked Scaler, not really trying to fool Hank but to at least get a clue from him. Not that he suspected his friend but...he just wanted to know more about him and, maybe, even help him.
" I made it last night...sorry for all that "scene". it wasn't me. " Said Hank as he took a bite on his donuts, taking his attention away from Scaler.
" That is fine, bro !" Said Scaler with a friendly smile. "What you exactly had last night then ?" Asked him.
Hank ate the last piece of the donuts and looked at him as he was grabbing his coffee. " Allergic Reaction" Said him calmly as he started to put sugar in his mug.
" Oh ok....ok....I mean, our doctor, Miss Heal-Well, taught me a lot of things about allergic reactions. " Said him as he was making a sandwich with hot chocolate. " Good to see you're fine..." concluded Scaler as he took a bite in his sandwich.
Hank glared at him, as if trying to read his thoughts. Scaler really wondered why he was doing that. Hank stayed like that for a whole minute until his face turned normal again as he started to drink his coffee. " Right....thanks." When he was done, he placed the mug on the table and looked at him. " What you going to do today ?" Asked Hank, " Stay here again receiving ponies with books ? ". Said Hank in a somehow odd way, as he disliked too much company.
" No, I mean, not because you scared a few off by turning one of the reading rooms in a high-tech lab bu-" Scaler was quickly cut by Hank.
" Foals liked it !" Justified him, lifting his hoof at his face level.
" Yeah but most of the costumers didn't..." Scaler sighed as he remembered all that confusion. Including lasers and very complicated explanations of "How a cupcake poorly made can choke you to death ! ". " Well, but today will be different !" Said Scaler as he his voice took a more positive tone. " We gonna deliver books ! "
Hank's eyes took a confused tone. " What you mean ?"
" Hum...how do I explain ? Ponies come to me and they reserve one determined book that they won't be able to read it here. They can do this also by sending me a letter. " Explained Scaler as he was almost done with his sandwich. " So I deliver the books to them. " Finished Scaler as he took the final bite. " Simple, no ? " Asked him as he looked at Hank with a satisfied look.
" Yeah...pretty simple." Said Hank as he went to get another mug of coffee with sugar. " And why you said " we " ? "Asked him, now glaring at Scaler.
" Well, now we are partners. We could help each another out. You help me and I help you. "
" Ok...one, I'm not your partner and two, in what you could possible help me ? " Asked Hank in a daring way.
Scaler really started to wonder in what he could be helpful. Even when he tried very hard to find a gap in Hank's work that he could fill, he wasn't that lucky. After giving up, he looked at Hank with sad eyes, feeling useless to him. " I don't know...You need help in something ? I will help in anything !" Somehow, Scaler knew that he would regret saying that as a big grin filled Hank's face.
" Anything ?"
" Aww....Yeah. Anything. " Said Scaler, feeling that he made a mistake.
" Well, deal with little animals and bugs as my guinea pigs in my genetic modification is good. But there is always a moment when you require...-" Hank took a drink in his mug. " something bigger...".
Scaler had no idea what he meant with that. " Genetic what ? How that includes me ? "
" Simple, I help you in your job and you become my guinea pig by your own will."
" Wait ! That is gonna hurt ?!" Asked Scaler, very serious and a little scared now.
" Come on, these days of mine are over. " Said Hank as he drunk from the mug. " This "modifications" are simple...Its to make things better to the subject. For example. " Hank's eyes stared at his wings. " Your wings."
" What about them ? "
" Would like them to be bigger ? " Asked Hank as he went to them and poked.
" They will get bigger with time..." Said Scaler in defense of his wings. His wings were the normal size for his age, but he always felt small compared to adult dragons.
Hank nodded in a sarcastic way. " Yes, yes, sure, sure. Anything you say. " Hank walked to the sink as he cleaned his empty mug. " What I'm saying is that I make "modifications" for good causes. Imagine...aww..." Hank stared at a picture of a bunny on the wall with a smiling yellow pegasus. " Imagine...poor mister bunny" Said Hank as he approached the picture." He is sick but there is no cure..." Hank passed the hoof on the pegasus's image. " Imagine the owner, what a tragic situation...".
That talk was really creeping Scaler out as his iris shrunk down a little.
" When suddenly ! Me, Hank ! Came for the rescue ! " Said Hank as he turned around to Scaler in proud position." Then I, after a very complicated process that your sub-evolved brain won't understand....the bunny is now cured and now immune to any similar diseases. " Hank went to the table and rose his hoof. " THIS...!" yelled Hank as he punched the table, making everything on it shake. " Is progress...Progress is the real meaning of my work ! To UNDERSTAND...To PRODUCE...To make it....Perfect." Finished Hank, staring Scaler, who was almost hiding under the table. " Do you understand now ? "
Scaler just wanted Hank to stop that "evil scientist" talk " Yes ! Yes ! Progress and produce...! Just don't hurt me in one of those tests ! "
Hank grabbed a plate with his magic. " Good...there is no problem then ? " Asked Hank as he was cleaning the plate in the sink.
" N...no..." Said Scaler, getting off under the table.
Unknown to Scaler, Hank had a big grin in his face, with the sunlight from the window against it.
" This is boring...!" Said Hank as they both walked on the streets with two bags full of books, one for each. Hank had an annoyed face as he felt used.
" No, this is sharing. " Replied Scaler, waving to a random pony that was waving to him. "Hi ! "
Hank sighed. " ...Hi...."
" Can you at least do better ?" Asked Scaler as they both came back to walk.
" No, this waving thing sounds dumb. " Said Hank coldly.
" No, they're not ! You see, everything you do, counts in a friendship." Said Scaler with a smile.
" Friendship is stupid..."
" Come on, Hank..."
" No, and I would enjoy if you just stopped talking about that ! " Said Hank in his classic offensive way.
Scaler didn't replied, only sighed as he saw the first address. " Maredona street, house 225." Said him as they both stopped a few foots away from the door of the beautiful house.
" Let me handle this, ok ? " Said Scaler to Hank, serious. He didn't wanted Hank to ruin that.
" Fine, I will just stay here talking to Cassandra. " Said Hank in a cold tone.
" Aww....hi Cassandra. " Said Scaler to the air. " Give Hank company, ok ?.........................Alright, thanks !" Scaler went to the door as Hank wondered what the hell was that about.
" Cassandra...?" Said Hank to the device on his hoof.
" Yes, Master ?"
" Look for the definition of...."friendship". " Asked Hank.
" ...."Friendship", event that is defined when two or more friends share affection for each another."
Hank wondered what was the meaning of that. " What is..."magic" ? I always wanted to hear what was that. "
" ...."Magic"....Sorry, Master, I find almost not complete definition of that word. "
" Huh ? What you mean ? I DEMAND you tell me ! "
" Sorry, Master....The closest thing I founded to a definition is "Special ability that many beings can execute, especially unicorns. Related to many other factors in the creature itself." This is all." Finished the voice.
" Right....I will figure that out myself." Said Hank, now determined to find what magic was.
" Still talking to Cassandra ?" Asked Scaler as he walked to Hank. " She is very beautiful, you know ? "
"Huh ? What you talking about ? " Asked Hank with doubt in his eyes and face.
" Cassandra, she is sure pretty, but oh, don't let me keep you. Keep talking with her. " Said him in an understandable smile.
Hank had finally figured out what the heck Scaler was talking about. Making a very angry face, he yells. " THAT IS MY PORTABLE PULSE COMPUTER ! NOT MY IMAGINARY FRIEND ! "
Scaler make a huge surprise face. " OOOOOOHHH !!....." He saw that he screwed up. "...Sorry...." Said him, looking down.
" Next time, call yourself "crazy" !" Said Hank, still pissed.
" Sorry ! How was I suppose to know that was this mambo-jumbo thing ?!" Yelled Scaler in his defense.
" My creations AREN'T "mambo-jumbo thing" !" Yelled him back.
" Whatever ! they are still confusing ! " Yelled Scaler, almost out of himself.
" That is the reason I don't share them ! Your kind is so ungodly stupid !!"
"....Take it back ! " Yelled Scaler, grabbing Hank's neck hard and making his claws get sharp. " TAKE IT BACK !"
" ARgh, no !" Said Hank, trying to get free but Scaler's grip was too strong.
" YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO DEAL WITH IT ! "
" Cassandra ! Defense mode ! "
The device went mad, letting emergency sounds out. " ATTENTION, REPTILE. RELEASE MY MASTER OR YOU FEEL 1000 VOLTS IN YOUR BODY !" The voice was now very aggressive as the screen was red with a white skull on it.
".....Fine" Scaler released Hank as he look down. He was shocked that he almost wounded Hank. " That is what I'm, one big stupid lizard....!" Said him almost in tears.
Hank rubbed his freed neck as he noticed that. He saw how both had gone too far in that, nopony had won, there was only loss. " Scaler..."
"....What ?"
" .....I'm sorry...."
" What you said ? " Said him, looking at Hank.
" I'm sorry, alright ?" Hank tried to stay calm and put.
Scaler denied with his head. " No, Its me who are very hot head...and stupid. "
" Look, you aren't stupid." Said Hank as he started to pat Scaler's wings. " A little hot head and distracted...but its nothing that its impossible to fix. "
Scaler smiled as Hank smiled back. " Friends ?" Said Scaler as he gave his hand to Hank to shake.
Hank hesitated for one second as he thought of so many things. But soon, he came to the conclusion that if he will want to know the meaning of "magic" he would require: " Friends..." concluded Hank as they shaken hoof and hand.
" This is the last house...!" Said Scaler in a victorious and happy tone. They delivered a lot of books, around 30 by Hank's calculations, and gained a little money each delivery, but putting all together, they had a lot of money.
" About time, its almost night ! " Said Hank as he stared the dark bluish sky. He knew that it was there, the one that followed him. He felt it. " .....I know you there..." Said him lowly, almost to himself.
" What you said ?"
" Oh, nothing, nothing." Guaranteed Hank as his attention came back to Scaler. " So what about this house?"
They were both meters away from a familiar house.
" The orphanage !" Yelled Hank in surprise. He would see Liko, finally.
" You been there before ? "
" Aww...sort of, its a long story." Said Hank, trying to hide that whole story of Talia, Liko, Gilda and stuff. " Who is the one we are going to deliver the book..." Hank looked at the cover of it. " The book " Daring Do and the forgotten relics" ! " Said Hank as he stared at the cover of Daring Do flying after a relic in the air.
" .......Her " Pointed Scaler to the board around the house. There was a white pegasus with purple mane and tail, her cutie mark was a star in a triangle. She was reading " She is a teacher of the young ones..." Sighed Scaler in a very deep and expressive way as his eyes shinned with the sunset.
" Right, should we go to her ? Can't we get in the orphanage first...?" Asked Hank but the answer didn't came. " Scaler?"
".........." Scaler was simply out of himself as he stared the pegasus.
" Scaler ! Wake up !" Almost yelled Hank as he whipped Scaler's butt with his magic.
" OUCH ! What was that for ?!" Scaler didn't stopped rubbing his butt.
" You were staring that pegasus all the time. I just brought you back. What happened ? "
Scaler made a worried face as he realized that Hank said the truth. " Aww...nothing. Let's ju-"
" You love her..." Said Hank in a discovery tone. " You love her ! "
Scaler simply was stunned, how he knew ? " Please, Hank, I beg of you. Don't tell !! " Said Scaler, almost begging.
" There there..." Hank pats his head in a comfortable way." I just...know things about love. I know when its close. Hehehhe. But don't worry, your secret is safe with me. "
" You promise ? " Asked him, almost tearing up.
" Yes, I promise !"
" Pinkie-promise ! "
" Huh ? Pinkie what ?" Asked Hank in a confused way.
" Its a promise that you cannot break...CANNOT ! " Said Scaler, getting up.
" FOREVER !!!!!!!" Yelled a goofy female voice very far away.
" What the ....?" Hank looked at the source of the yell but he accepted that it was way too far, probably from Ponyville. "...Alright. I will do it. " Said Hank.
" Alright, say this with a hoof on your chest." Said Scaler cleaning his throat. " Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."
Hank sighed at the lines, they were so different from the original version. But he had no choice, with the hoof on his chest, he said "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." The seal was done. " Speaking in cupcakes, can I have one later ? "
" Of course...! Her name is Dawn....isn't that the most beautiful name you ever heard...?" Said Scaler with a smile now. " So...aww...you can check inside and stuff. I will take this one." Said him in a very shy way.
" Hehehehe, alright, you big lizard. " Said Hank with a giggle. " Go get her. " Hank gave the book to him and left inside.
" Bye ! " Said Scaler as he sighed deeply. " Alright, Scaler, this is it. For ONCE, don't be weird and be romantic..."
" HANK !!" Yelled Liko as he ran to him for hug.
" Liko ! Look how you grown up ! " Giggled Hank as now Liko looked different. He seemed fed and properly taken care. Hank rose him up with his magic
" No, I didn't..." Said Liko, looking at himself.
" Well, you sure did, look how big you are now ! " Said Hank as he hugged Liko. Liko hugged back very happy. " Oh my Equestria, how strong you are now !" Said Hank, joking around.
" Now that stupid monster won't have the courage to come face me ! Hahahaha ! " Laughed Liko as Hank placed him back to the floor. " Want to see my new friends ?!"
" You got friends ? Already ?" Said Hank in surprise, even if it shouldn't. " Wow, that is so great, who they are ? "
Liko grabbed Hank's hoof, dragging him away. " Come on, I will show them. We are at my room playing " Catch The Spy" ! ". Said him.
Hank just smiled as he loved to see Liko so happy, it reminded him of his infancy. Not the best kind of memory for him.
" Hi....h...hi !" Said Scaler to Dawn.
" Hey, Scaler ! Its been a while ! " Said Dawn, giving him a hug. Her smile was driving Scaler nuts. His heart was fast as an engine. " You're ok ?" Said her a little worried in reaction of his silence.
" Aww...bl...bu...buttful day, isn't it ?" Said Scaler, incredible confusing but trying to be romantic.
Dawn just got weird out by that and asked. " Buttfull ?"
Scaler noticed his mistake. " NO!! I mean...what a "BEAUTI-FULL" day..." Said Scaler, his scales of the face were apple red.
" Oh...alright. I must had heard wrong. " Said Dawn, nodding with a smile. Her eyes quickly turned to the book on Scaler's hand. " It is that it....?"
Scaler looked at the book and used that time to "make" a plan. " Aww...yeah ! " Daring Do and the forgotten relics", what an epic kick ass book ! " Said him, almost with nothing else to say.
" Well, it is. Foals love it. Its a example of braveness ! " Said her in a gentle tone.
" Yeah yeah...." Said Scaler as he just keep looking at her beauty. " Its beautiful..."
Dawn kept her smile for a few seconds before she noticed something wrong with Scaler. " You're ok, Scaler ? Aww...can I see the book ?....Scaler ?" Said her as Scaler was in his day-dreaming state.
" Baaaaaaaaahh...." Said Scaler lowly, out of himself. Suddenly, in a flash of a second, he came back to reality. " OH ! Aww...here !" Said Scaler as he gave the book to Dawn, trying to quickly fix his mistake.
Dawn had an odd face as she grabbed the book, the way that Scaler was acting was really weird. Another awkward silence started, but Dawn quickly stopped it. " So, you want to come inside ? Have a cupcake ?....maybe join me in reading the book to the foals ? "
Scaler had enough of his weirdness, he just wanted that "torture" to stop. He knew that he was screwing up any chances he got with Dawn by doing that all." Yes yes ! lets go ! "
" I told you that he was real !" Said Liko as he was just showing Hank off to everypony in the orphanage.
Talia, the earth-pony, knew Hank as well but at most of the time, she remained quiet. Hank founded that odd, he was expecting them to have a dialogue of what happened at the market, a week ago. " Good for you..." Said her in a calm but restricted tone.
" Talia...? " Said Hank, looking at her golden eyes. " Do you remember me ? " Asked him, expecting her to had forgotten about him.
Talia looked away. " Yes, I do..." Said her as Liko got between the two.
" You two know each other ? " Asked him in a happy tone. That was fantastic for him, two of his best friends already knew each another.
Hank's eyes turned left as he thought of how to define " know each other" in the right way. " We can say that..."
" That is so awesome ! " Said him as he turned to Talia. " Had you ever did your " mind reading" thing on him ? "
Hank could feel that Talia had something against him, maybe it was because she knew of his secrets, even thought she said that they were in a safe.
" Yes...once...Didn't ended well. " Said her in a cold way. It was way too odd a foal keep doing that sort of voice.
" What you mean ?" Asked Liko, now wondering his mind off.
" Look, Talia. " Said Hank as he interrupted them. " Here ! I forgot to pay you." Said Hank as he grabbed some money with magic and offered to her." And as my apologies, here. " Hank gave a small bonus.
Talia looked at the money, sighed and grabbed. "Thanks..."
" I told you that he was a fair unicorn !" Said Liko in a proudly voice. He sure saw Hank as a hero, an idol. " Anyway, Talia is like that, but she is awesome when you know her. Don't worry." Said him to Hank.
" I know, little pony, I know." Said Hank as he patted Liko's head. " Anyway, who was the another friend ?" Asked him, both trying to get the attention away from him and to know who Liko was strolling around with. " One is Talia but there is still another one. "
" Well, he is upstairs with the others. " Said Liko as he pointed to the stairs.
" Why ?" Asked Hank as he looked at it.
" They are waiting Miss Dawn tell them the new adventures " Daring Do". Said him in an enjoyable smile. " I love the stories."
Hank thought a little about it, this day was sure full of all kinds of coincidences. " Right...so lets go upstairs ! "
Scaler was following Dawn upstairs, keeping the eye on her beautiful coat as they walked.
" - Then I stopped at the cliffhanger, the foals love it and hate it at the same time. But its the kind of thing that makes them wish for more. What you think, Scaler ?"
" Aww...yes yes ! " Said Scaler, being almost in his day-dreaming state." Foals and cliffhangers are awesome...kick ass...."
Dawn stopped at the end of the stairs, a simple wood door." Well, I think that the foals will like your presence. You are big and strong, and foals identify with that." her smile filled her face.
" Oh yes yes....I'm big and strong just for yo-" Scaler quickly shaken his head" I mean ! Them. its gonna be fine. What could go wrong ?"
" ARHHH !! MY GOD ! THEY GOT ME !! " They both hear coming from inside the room.
" Oh Celestia! " Yelled Dawn as she ran in with Scaler, both worried that somepony was hurt.
What they saw just made them laugh.
Hank was on the ground, being attacked by the young foals. He was just playing along.
" OH no ! The ponies got me ! "
Liko, who was on his back, yelled " He belong to us now ! The Cutie Mark Seekers ! Ahahahahhaha ! "
Talia was the few that was on the ground, she had a soft smile on her face, even if she wasn't interacting.
Scaler cleaned his throat. " Aww...Hank ? " Said him as a heads up that they were there.
Hank turned to them but there was a pink female foal on his face. " What ? Scaler ? Is that you ? "
" Yeah, we are...aww...here to the story !"
The foals looked at them, very happy. " STORY TIME !! " Yelled them together as they jumped off Hank.
" Whew..." Said Hank in relief as he watched them all sit down in a circle. " Thanks, they were "taking" me over. " Said him as he joined Scaler and Dawn.
" You're really good with foals, aren't you ? " Said her in a friendly tone. " What is your name ?"
Hank was looking at the foals chatting. " Hank...just that. I came with Scaler "
" Humm..." Said her in a wondering tone. " Alright then. you two are friends ? " Asked her as she went to the middle of the circle.
" You can say that..." Said Scaler as he felt a litlte jealous. Not that Hank had feelings for her, because he made more progress in one sentence than himself in a whole talk.
Now Dawn's attention was all on her foals. " So...Who wants more "Daring Do" ?" Asked her as she clapped.
The room was filled with very happy foals. As that happened, Scaler noticed Hank's horn shinning for some reason, even though he wasn't doing any magic.
" The End " finished her as she closed the book. All the foals were now on the floor, sleeping, a few with the hoof inside their mouths. She looked at Hank and Scaler, who had watched the whole thing. " Can you guys help me take the kids to their beds ?
" Yes. We will. " Said Scaler, trying not to awake the kids.
" Sure, just let me finish this Applecitter and cupcake..." Said Hank as he ate and drunk them together. He had left to get a lunch before she was done.
Scaler just founded that mix so confusing, it would be ok if it was a normal food with that drink but no, it was sugary food with sugary drink.
With both ate and drunk, Hank looked at them. " lets go."
The three started to work together to take the foals to their bed. Scaler carried three on his arms, Dawn carried two to three on her back while she flew over and Hank carried five with his magic and two on his back.
After a long time, putting all the foals on bed. Hank was left alone in Liko's room.
"....You are so good to me, Liko. You have no idea..." Said Hank to the sleeping little pony. " Good night. " Said him as he patted Liko's head one last time before leaving the room.
Dawn looked at Hank. " So you are this Hank that Liko talks so much ?"
" Suppose so, its a long story but here is the short version. I helped Liko, he is happy now and he now see me as some idol. "
Dawn giggled. " He said that he is going to make a fan-club of you. Hehehehe".
Scaler, at the instant that he heard that, giggled too. " So popular with the foals, huh ?" Said him, in a ironic tone.
" Hey ! Come on, lets be mature about this. He will soon forget about me..." Said Hank in a sad tone.
" He won't. Trust me...Liko is here a week and already started a group called " The Cutie Mark Seekers" Said Dawn, rolling her eyes.
Hank had heard the name but really didn't thought that it was serious. " Really ? what is about ?" Said him in a curious way.
" Him, Talia and Joe Star are dedicated to make the good, bring justice and find their cutie marks." Answered her.
Hank thought that it was such ridicules intention but he soon swallow his harsh words as he looked at Scaler. " Seems legit. Can we go ?"
Scaler began to sweat. " Now ? You mean...now ? At this second ?"
" Yeah, right now. I'm so full of love that I want to take a break of it. " Said Hank in a, somehow, both ironic and non-ironic way. He starts to go downstairs.
" He is nice, he just don't know it." Said Dawn with a smile to Scaler. " Believe me, he will soon get off that."
" aww...y...yeah ! I'm sure of it ! " Said Scaler trying to sound tough but failing miserably.
" Well, thank you for bringing the book. I will stay with it a little longer but I will bring it back."
" Ok....." He kept in silence before deciding to make the ultimate act. " Dawn....you....you want to...you know." Scaler makes a sight of leaving.
" What ? "
" Me and you, out...an...but not out " outside". I mean out....-"
" You are inviting me for a date ? " Said her in a sweet voice.
Scaler swallowed his fears as he came with the final word. "....Yes..."
Unlikely of what he had believed, Dawn kept her sweet smile. " Alright. You can pick me up tomorrow at 5:30 PM." she goes to Scaler's face. " You are a very sympathetic dragon" She kissed his cheek, with Scaler passing out right after it." SCALER !"
" Argh...." Said Hank as he was dragging his reptile friend to their house. " That is what you get for not knowing what you are dealing with it, Hank..." Cursed Hank to himself.
After a long walk back in the night, Hank was finally back in his dear house. He turns to the Scaler. " Hey, potato sack ! WAKE UP !"
" Yes ! YES ! I do ! " Yelled Scaler." Where is Dawn ? How I got here ? "
" I don't know. Maybe its because the one here had to carry you and your scales all over the way back ! " Said Hank, pretty angry.
" Sorry...but she accepted, didn't she ?! "
" Yes...yes, she did !" Almost yelled Hank. " Now, if you excuse me, I'm full with all this. Good night ! " Said Hank as he went upstairs.
Scaler sighed as he started to get up. He started to walk when he heard Hank's scream from his room. " HANK !! " Scaler flies upstairs and stops at Hank, staring into his room.
" What happened ?!"
"...My....room. Somepony broke in ! " Yelled Hank as he showed his room all screwed up. Hours and hours of were destroyed. " MY ROOM ! PEGASUS-FEATHERS !! " Yelled him as he ran in, checking everything.
" Hey ! Hold that dirty mouth ! Was something stolen ?" Asked Scaler, looking in the room.
Hank checked ever corner, expect all the damages to his equipment, everything was there.
" Wait..." Said Hank as he noticed something missing. He ran to his bag and pulled a safe the size of a hoof. The door was completely dissolved by a strong acid and it's object inside was gone. This made Hank's heart stop for a second as he saw how dangerous that was now. If they had that, all Green Way, Ponyville, Canterlot even the whole Equestria was in grave danger.
" Hank ? You're ok...?" Asked Scaler, not having any idea of what was going on.
" Its....its all ok. " Said Hank as his eyes slowly turned to him. " I expect you do your end of the bargain and be mine subject for tests...but we will worry about that tomorrow. Now I got things to do..." Hank made a sight with his roof to Scaler, asking him to leave.
Scaler sighed. " You sure ? I can't help ?"
" No, just...act like this didn't happened. Ok ? "
".....Ok..." Scaler looked down as he left the room and closed the door.
Hank knew that they got something incredible powerful in their hands now. Something that he wanted to destroy, but didn't had the courage. " They will be back, and now with the CV-2 in their hands. " Hank stopped for a moment, thinking in the future that he was predicting. " I don't think that even Celestia or the Elements of Harmony can stop it...." Said Hank as he went to his table, with the intention of build something, but this time, for the sole purpose of defense. They were back and they wanted one simple thing...
" ....Revenge...."
