The Peacemaker

Dmitry:

“Come on let’s go pull a prank on some-pony” Rainbow Dash said as she pulled me towards Ponyville. ‘Why did I agree to this?’ I thought to myself, I had killed her parents and she didn’t even know. ‘Should I tell her or just be friends with her and not let her know?’ I wondered to myself.

“Come on, we’ll pull a prank on Pinkie Pie” Rainbow Dash laughed as she pulled me into the town. Though several ponies starred at us none gave us suspicious looks or any sort of look that would suggest that something was out of the ordinary.

We approached some large house that was obviously some sort of pastry market. “Okay you take this bucket of water and hang it above the door but hand me the end of the line so that I can drop it on her head when she comes to the door” Rainbow Dash said and handed me a bucket of water. ‘Where the hell did she get this from?’ I asked myself but then just went along with the prank. I tied the line to the handle of the bucket then looped the line over the front of the door light and handed Rainbow Dash the other end of the line and she pulled it back so that the bucket of water stayed in place above the door.

“Okay now knock on the door and wait for her to come to the front door, but make sure you’re back far enough that she has room to step just outside the doorway then I’ll drop the water on her head” Rainbow Dash snickered.

I reached forward and knocked on the door then stepped back. A mare opened the door, she had light blue fur and a curly pinkish mane. As she stepped out of the doorway she began to say something but suddenly the pale of water fell on her head and drenched her body. A camera flash went off, “OHH YEAH I SOOO GOT YOU PINKIE… uh-oh… sorry Mrs. Cake I meant to get Pinkie Pie” Rainbow Dash replied as she brought down the camera from in front of her face and I looked both ways in fear, ponies were now looking at me with curious looks.

Mrs. Cake lifted the pale off her head and looked to Rainbow Dash. “Though I do enjoy a good prank, I would have to ask that next time you don’t… oh Rainbow Dash I didn’t know you owned a human” Mrs. Cake replied. I was about to tell her that I belonged to no-pony but Rainbow Dash must’ve known what I was going to say and quickly raced in front of me and interrupted me.

“Yeah… I uh got him just yesterday, well gotta go. See yah” Rainbow Dash said in a hurry and pulled me along with her as she darted off.

She stopped running and stopped in front of some sort of fashion shop or something. “Ohh this is going to be a good one” Rainbow Dash said and handed me a rather large present. “I don’t know if I should…” I began but Rainbow Dash interrupted me.

“Oh come on, it’ll be easy just knock on the door and make sure my friend Rarity comes out, she’s hard to be mistaken for because she’s… very ladylike. Then give her this present and say it’s from a rich secret admirer” Rainbow Dash told me and I looked to the present and my stomach twisted. I told myself I shouldn’t do it but a little voice in the back of my head said ‘Do it, you killed her parents so you owe her big time’ the voice said and I sighed and went along with her plan.

I walked up to the front doors and knocked, then stepped back and waited. A pure white mare answered the door, she had a beautifully combed mane and beautiful sparkly blue eyes, she had to be the one that Rainbow Dash was talking about.

“Yes… how may I help you?” the mare asked me and I stammered as I presented her the present. “Uhm… a rich admirer sent you this present” I stammered as she took the present and squealed in delight. She quickly unwrapped the present but as she opened the present a pie flew out and splatted her in the face and ruined her mane.

A camera flash went but she must not have cared because she wiped the pie from her face and poked me in the chest. “You ignorant stupid ape, why your owner better have a good lawyer because I’m going to bring them to court about this, do you have any idea how” she screeched but stopped as Rainbow Dash lept out of the thicket of bushes, laughing all the while.

Rarity looked over to Rainbow Dash. “Dashie… darling, tell me this wasn’t your doing?” she asked but Rainbow Dash couldn’t stop laughing. “I am so sorry Ms. Rarity, I did not want to do it but she said it would be funny” I apologized. “Such a gentleman, Dashie you could learn a thing or two from this man” Rarity teased, calling me a man rather than a human or ape. She looked back to me “Sorry about the whole stupid ape thing, I didn’t mean it really… I was just sort of angry that you had ruined my new hairstyle” Rarity apologized.

“I took no offence ma’am, I was hoping that you would actually forgive me” I replied. Dash grabbed me by the arm and began to drag me away. “Boring, see yah later Rarity” Rainbow Dash called out as she dragged me along.

“Why did you have to get sooo… formal?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously almost in disgust for my actions.

“Well I did ruin mane so I thought it would be nice to apologize” I replied and she chuckled to herself and let me go and I followed her without question. “Alright next we get Applejack” Rainbow Dash informed me and led me out of town.

We soon arrived on a farm and she looked around and scrunched her nose. “What’s the plan?” I asked as she continued to look around for something. “Do you see Jay around?” she asked and I looked around for Jay but then realized I had never met her friend Jay. “What does he look like?” I asked and she shrugged as she walked through the barn. “He’s hard to miss… uhm he’s a human and he has tanned skin and… his full name is Javier but I call him Jay” she informed me as we kept looking.

“Alright forget the main plan, we’ll ask Applejack where Jay is then prank Big Macintosh” she concluded and I shrugged and simply went along with the plan. We went up to the front door and she knocked, soon a mare answered the door, she had orange fur and wore a cowboy hat. “Howdy RD. Wow when did yah get a human?” the southern pony asked and Rainbow Dash shrugged “Got him just this morning actually” Rainbow Dash replied and the southern pony, whom I assumed was Applejack, nodded.

“Well how can ah help yah today?” Applejack asked and Rainbow Dash peeked inside the house, “Is Jay around?” she asked and Applejack sighed. “RD… yah may want tah come inside tah hear this” Applejack told her and she nodded and Applejack led us both inside.

She sat us both down in the living room and sat across from us when suddenly an elderly green mare entered the room, I remembered this mare. We made eye contact and she remembered me as well, I could see it in her eyes. “Applejack… who’s yer friend?” Smith replied and Applejack simply chuckled. “Aw come on now Granny, yah know it’s Rainbow Dash” she replied but Smith, or Granny as she was referred to now, shook her head and pointed to me.

“Ah meant him” she replied casually without any sort of anger in her voice. “Actually he’s Rainbow Dash’s human… she just got him this mornin” Applejack replied and Granny nodded. “Rainbow Dash, dearie where did you get this human?” Granny asked and Rainbow Dash shrugged “I bought him from a stallion up in the mountains who was selling humans” Rainbow Dash lied but I could see it in Granny’s eyes, she didn’t believe it for a second. She probably knew as well as I did that I’d never allow myself to become a slave, I’d kill myself before being captured.

“Well you all have fun… ah’m going to take a nap” Granny told us and trotted off slowly, her hip creaked terribly as she walked away. Even though I felt sort of guilty for causing her the handicap I felt she deserved it for what she did to Ivan.

“So Dash, tell me again what it was yah wanted?” Applejack asked and Rainbow Dash turned her attention to her. “Oh well I was wondering where Jay is?” Rainbow Dash replied and Applejack let out a depressed sigh. “What? What’s wrong?” Rainbow Dash asked and Applejack looked up to her. “Dash… Jay’s injury was bad an Granny Smith had tah put him down” Applejack replied and Dash shot up from the information.

“WHAT!” Dash exclaimed but her friend’s head simply dropped down in self disappointment. “Why? He wasn’t hurt that bad, his leg was only broken” Dash said sadly. I felt pity for Javier even though I didn’t know him and I hoped his death wasn’t horrid like Ivan’s. “Dash, yah have tah understand that it would’ve cost more tah get Javier healed than tah just buy a new human worker” Applejack informed her but Dash wouldn’t listen and ran out of the building in tears.

“What… I didn’t think that ponies cared about the lives of humans” I told Applejack but she simply sighed. “Sometimes she’s more like Fluttershy than she’ll ever know. She doesn’t understand that sometimes things have to be done that aren’t pleasant” Applejack informed me and I nodded as I stood up. “Well I guess I better go get her” I replied and Applejack gave me a nod as I left to go find Rainbow Dash.

As I left the house in search of Rainbow Dash a broom handle whacked me across the face. I grunted as I grabbed my nose and staggered back and looked to my attacker to see Smith holding a broom stick. I raised an eyebrow “I thought you were taking a nap”
