Changes

-POV Reid-

The train shook suddenly. At least one hundred mares were hitting the door to the drivers room, luckily it was made from a strong metal. They were persistent though, you could give them that. They refused to be defeated. You began to back away from the door slowly, thinking about how to get this train moving. Unfortunately for you, though, you backed into a small grey button on the wall behind you. There was a loud and sudden 'SSSWWSSSSHHHH' that came from across the train and you wondered what you had done. You weren't moving, and you weren't exploding. So what did you just do?

"Reid! You just opened the doors to the carts!!!"

Ohhh.... that makes a lot of sense.

The mares began to board the train, realizing that there were no doors between the carts on the inside.

"Crap." You say, realizing the impact of your mistake. You could see the mares coming towards you from two carts down and counting.

"Pierce, how can we get this thing moving?" You ask

"There's no point now! They are on board, not following on foot like we had hoped!" He replied angrily.

"Look, I'll hold them off until we get to Canterlot. You just get us there. Can you do that?"

Pierce thought for a moment. "I think I can, but I will have to stay at the controls for most of the time."

You look at the approaching mares. They were in a small corridor, only three ponies wide. This would be like that movie 300.

"Do it! let me worry about them." You say and walk out of the drivers cart.

"Good luck man! Once this thing gets moving it should only take about an hour."

An hour? Were you serious? Well.. Yes, yes you were. You look at the approaching horde and your surroundings. On each side of you were seats held to the train, so there wasn't going to be any chair-pushings today, and glass windows lined the entire wall on each side. Keep it non-lethal, non-maiming, non-damaging.

How were you going to do this?

the three ponies in front were two earth ponies and.... Crap. Why now? A purple alicorn was the one on the right. The other two were just some weird light-blue pony who stood on her legs for some reason and a zebra. The alicorn would be the only real problem. All she had to do was make a flash on her horn and it was all over. You were fairly sure that alicorn's magic didn't work on Estrous and that's why Celestia left the sun in the middle of the sky during this season. Or she was just too 'busy'. They kept moving towards you, eyes glazed over and smelling like death. You wanted to throw up at the smell. You didn't, of course, and steeled yourself for this.

"CHAAARRRRRGGGEEEE!!!" You yelled, running into the mares. The alicorn hadn't thrown you down yet, so your assumption must have been right. You shouldered the middle one, sending her into the crowd behind her. The two on your sides jumped onto your back and tried to bite your clothes. You reached up your hands and grabbed their manes. With a tight grip you lifted these mares over your head and with a 'crash!' sent them out the window to your right. You realized that this was 'super-effective!' and began to repeat the process of de-boarding passengers. Grab by the mane, throw, repeat. Easy.

After about a minute of this the train lurched out from under you, causing you to lose your balance. You reached out to the nearest chair to steady yourself.

"I figured it out!" Yelled Pierce gleefully from behind you.

"Good job, can you get it going a bit faster? Thanks!" You call back, not in a position to speak for very long as a mare jumped onto you. She was trying to kiss you but was soon dismayed to find herself out of the window.

"No means no!" You yell out to her as she hits the ground. You realize that the train will soon be moving to fast for you to throw these ponies out without causing any injuries. Two pegasi rush towards you and are dispersed with kicks to the faces. Sure it wasn't harmless, but they can fly. Throwing them out wouldn't do any good.

You continue fighting off the mares for thirty minutes before reaching the outer gates of Canterlot. By now you are nearly exhausted.

"I thought you said it would be an hour?" You call out to Pierce.

"I passed our scheduled stops and turned this thing up to max. We made pretty good time, I think!"

The train comes to a screeching halt, throwing the mares off balance once again. You were prepared and had been holding a chair. You ran to the driver's cart and grabbed Pierce by the arm. He didn't need your help though and was all ready prepared to start running. The two of you hopped out of the cart and sped towards the city. You stopped short. (Oh no! I went back in I forgot my cango!) The city walls were lined with mares on all sides. -except for the cliff of course.-

"What do we do now?" You ask Pierce quietly. They hadn't seemed to have noticed you.

"I-I don't know." He stuttered out. The fear was evident.

The ponies on the train were getting out and heading for you now, alerting the giant mass of lust that was lining the city. You were surrounded on all sides. Nowhere to go. Nowhere to run.

"Any ideas?" You say, the two of you slowly becoming the center of this mare-horde.

"Not a one." Said Pierce. You were both calm as you accepted your fate.

The mares closed in, choking you with their smell. The circle was becoming smaller and smaller as the mares closed in.

"MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! GET THOSE TWO OUT OF THERE!"

This yell came from the city, you realized. It was a stallion yelling, along with the sound of several male ponies pushing through the crowd. Soon a small black corridor was made through the mares all the way to you. One of the SWAT-stallions yelled at you.

"RUN! GET TO THE CITY!"

You didn't need any persuasion and soon you were sprinting down the stallion-hall into the city with Pierce just slightly in front. Once you were safely inside the city walls the SWAT-squad-corridor scrunched back into the city. The city doors were locked tight and the stallions began to get back to work patrolling the area as if nothing had happened. The leader of the squad walked up to you, this one was clearly a changeling, though you couldn't tell who he was due to a helmet on his head.

"How many times do I have to save you guys?" Said the changeling. You recognized the voice instantly.

"Luke? Thanks for that man! I thought we were goners." Said Pierce.

"Yeah man, thanks. I' glad you came when you did." You say, hugging your friend.

"No problem," Said Luke, "We always lock out the mares during Estrous and couldn't just leave you two out there alone."

You all smiled as he explained to you that there was a hotel room the two of you could stay in for the week. You smiled even more when he told you it was free.

You thanked Luke and went towards the hotel with Pierce.You decided to take a shower as soon as you got home and stuck to that plan like glue. Exhaustion overwhelmed you in the shower and you had to force yourself to stay awake. Once you were dressed for bed you exited the bathroom. You opened up the door, fell on the floor, but were not walking the dinosaur. You were to tired to walk five more measly feet. Wow. You crawled to the only bed in your room and slid in.

That was a good night.
