That Was Just Your Life

Chapter Six: The Real One

When morning came Dmitri felt like his back had been mauled by a tiger, however he didn't complain as it wasn't his nature. He began stretching so his back wouldn't get stiff and got several loud pops as a reward. Just then, Alric came down the stairs. He nearly tripped going down them and used a nearby shelf to steady himself.

"Mornin'." Dmitri mutters to Alric.

"Aaaahhh."  yawns Alric in reply.

"Uh..." Twilight trots into the living room in the midst of the humans' greetings. "Good Morning?"

"Morning."

"Mornin'."

"Breakfast will be ready in about ten minutes." Twilight informs the two.

"Good, I'm very hungreh." Dmitri says.

"Also, I talked to the girls and we're going to give you a tour of the town today. Just try not to scare everypony."

"I can't promise anything." Alric says as he cracks his back, neck, and fingers. Eventually, Spike called out from the kitchen.

"Breakfast is ready!"

Everyone goes into the kitchen and sits at the table. Alric and Dmitri sit on the floor to avoid sitting in the small, weak chairs. Spike brings over a plate of stacked pancakes.

"No bacon?" asks Dmitri. Twilight paused in the middle of taking a bite from her pancake.

"Hu-humans eat m-meat?" Whispers Twilight in fright.

"Yeah, meat is delicious as hell!" Says Alric ignoring the look on Twilight's face and begins eating.

Twilight looks at the two humans with her mouth agape.

"What?" Alric asks. "It's not like we're going to kill nor eat you. If we really wanted to, we would have already. Anyways, humans wouldn't eat sentient beings."

"Are you sure?" Twilight said as meek as Fluttershy.

"Would it be smart to attack a sentient being that hasn't done anything to you?" Dmitri responds. "We don't even know where we are." The group continued their breakfast. When they were just about finished there came a knock at the door. Twilight got up to answer it to avoid the awkward situation.

"Hey girls." Alric and Dmitri heard Twilight talking with the other ponies they met from the hallway while they were going to gear up.

"Hey Twilight, are the aliens ready?" said Rainbow Dash excitedly.

"They're just finishing up with breakfast." says Twilight.

"Should we bring our rifles?" asked Alric.

"Nah, I'm bringing my pistol just in case though." responded Dmitri. Once prepared, the two went to the living room. "We're ready to go now." said Dmitri said coming up from behind Twilight.

"Alright then, let's get a move on. There's a good amount of things to see." said Twilight. When the group left the library they immediately started getting strange looks. They even heard some windows and doors slamming shut. One inhabitant ran around, screaming "The Horror! The Horror!!" and eventually ran into a wall, knocking themselves unconscious. The only reason most ponies were more calm than some is because they realize that whenever these types of things happen, the Elements of Harmony seem to have everything under control.

"Here is Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie Pie's house." said Twilight as they came up on the large ginger bread house looking building.

"It's not actual candy is it?" Pondered Alric as he walked up to the structure and knocked on it.

"No silly, but if it was that would be super duper awesome!" Pinkie Pie responded. The group continued on their tour coming across places such as the Town Hall and Sweet Apple Acres. Eventually the group started heading back to the library as they had already walked the whole town and it was starting to get darkish.

"What's that buzzing sound?" said Twilight randomly interrupting the conversation between Dmitri and Rainbow Dash about Jets. Dmitri and Alric stopped to listen.

"That sounds like-" began Dmitri.

"-a helicopter." finished Alric.

"Shit!" said Dmitri as the two began searching the skies.

"Whats a halicoopter?" asked Applejack.

"Shut up! This could mean there are more of us here." responded Alric sharply. After a while Dmitri finally pointed towards the area above the forest and announced he saw something. Alric pulled out his binoculars and looked in that direction. "Goddamn that's a Z-11W!" said Alric. Suddenly the sound of machine gun fire pierced the air as the 12.7 machine guns from the helicopter unloaded. Luckily the burst only hit a house but the helicopter didn't stop.

"Twilight you've got to tell every one to get to safety!" shouted Dmitri at Twilight.

"But why!? What's happening!?" said Twilight.

"No time to explain go! Get  somewhere safe!" shouted Alric. The two then ran towards the helicopter which was getting close to the ground.

"You distract him and I'll try to get a shot!" said Dmitri to Alric who nodded. Dmitri ran off to the side as the helicopter neared.

"Over here you fucker!" said Alric pulling out his USP and shooting some rounds towards the helicopter. This seemed to get their attention.
