Chapters how to make friends and heal people
The knock at the door was repeated a few times as I brushed my long copper coloured hair,another boring day I thought to myself.
Hazily I walked over to the front door, gently pushing the letterbox open,
Scootaloo? Here on earth? This is weird, very weird… unless
I meandered over to the kitchen cabinet, opening the door to grab the first aid kit.
"Where are you mister?" a southern voice called out. I was running some hot water into a bowl at the time, adding a capful of disinfectant. I then grabbed a handful of cotton wool, taking them into the living room, "im in the living room," just keep following the doorways" I chuckled. The three children did just that.
I was sat on the sofa, with the bowl, cotton wool and a box of plasters resting on the table in front of me. "So which one of you has…" I trailed off, seeing three fillies in front of me, each staring at me with both shock and awe. "Don't be scared," I smiled, beckoning them forth. They carefully trotted slowly towards me; one had a cut on their head. "Scootaloo, was it? Come and sit here and let me fix you up" I said with a genuine air of kindness, the Orange filly heeded my words, climbing up onto the sofa.
"You might feel a little stinging sensation, okay?" the little filly nodded. I took a piece of cotton wool and dipped it into the solution, then gently dabbed it against the wound. "Ow, dude, you weren't kidding" Scootaloo winced a little bit.
"Now, lets go move that rock" I chuckled, grabbing the trademark suit jacket I was known for., putting it on. The 3 fillies took me to the rock, I lifted it up with amazing ease, it seemed lighter than it looked. I carried it over back to the house, placing it next to the steps leading to the door. "There ya go kids, be careful" I smiled as they continued with there little games. I stepped back into the house and just sat on the sofa, taking five minutes to realize exactly where I was.
I placed the phone into a plastic bag and sealed it up. Walking into the bathroom, I started up the extractor fan, the soft whirring setting my mind at ease. I had electricity here, and hopefully water. I opened the window, leaving it slightly ajar. I pressed the button to start the shower, sure enough, the water system worked. I wasted no time in getting myself clean. There was an odd sense of loneliness which had crept into my mind.
I knew very well that I was no longer on earth, but what I was doing here is another question. My phone was blaring out the sounds of Iron Maiden, more specifically can I play with madness. I got out of the shower, and turned the water off, entertaining the thought that I would end up taking the role of my Original character, Dave (A/N: see Discorded Humanity). I chuckled, climbing up the stairs again to raid the wardrobes in search of something to wear, settling on blue jeans and a plain black t-shirt.
Taking a deep breath, I started to move things around, taking utmost care not to knock anything over. First, I carried my two electric guitars down stairs, placing them in the dining room, then the heavier things. The line 6 spider amp took marginal effort to move, unplugging various wires and leads out of the wall. I placed the amp down with a quiet thud. Wiping away fresh sweat with a cloth, I heard a sudden crash.
I quickly bolted up the stairs, to find an unconscious cyan Pegasus lying in a heap of dirty clothes. If it hadn't been for my lack of tidying skills, the poor mare would have been more injured. I took utmost care to lift her up, carrying her to the front bedroom; I laid her on the bed then proceeded to gather items.
"Nice of you to crash in," I chuckled. "Just lie back and enjoy the music," I pressed play on the phone, currently rigged up to a pair of computer speakers. "You crashed through a window, there are some shards of glass in your back," I watched as the cyan Pegasus put the pieces together. "It's going to hurt like a bitch, ready?" the mare nodded.
I started to pull tiny shards of broken glass out of her back. She was beginning to black out "hey, stay with me, tell about what you were doing" I put what I had learned about blacking out into action. She began telling me that she was attempting a new trick, the double rainboom so she told me; I pulled the last one out.
"A Human," I held a hand out to the cyan pony. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you" she chuckled,
The cyan Pegasus looked at me in disbelief "you already consider me a friend?"
"Well, considering that I don't know for certain where I am at the moment, I could do with one" I chuckled.
"My name is Rainbow Dash, if you're wondering" she took my outstretched hand with her hoof. The hoof felt a little different to what I expected. What I expected was a hard rough edge, what I got was a rubbery texture. The outside horseshoe part was a tough rubber, while the inside was as soft as a pillow.
"Broken" upon hearing this, I sighed.
"Let's get you to hospital then" I said as she gingerly folded her wing in. I grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around her, making sure that her wing was kept close to her body. I then picked her up and put her on the bedroom floor. As she walked down the steps I put on the akatsuki cloak I had bought several days before my arrival in Equestria. I zipped it up to the top and put a pair of pilot goggles on. "Dash, climb onto my back and give me directions. She nodded as I knelt down; she rested her front legs over my shoulders. I walked out of the house, turned and locked the door.
I ran into town without a word of warning. Hearing an exclamation of "slow down" I did.
"Put her down naow b'fore I buck you inta next week" the Pony with the Stetson shouted. "I was jus" I was interrupted by buck to the chest and a pink blur,
"OH-MY-GOSH-RAINBOW-ARE-YOU-ALRIGHT?" The pink pony stopped for a breath "DID-THE-BIG-HAIRLESS-MEANIE-MCMEANIEPANTS-DO-THIS-TO-YOU?" just what I needed, a hyper-active pink pony bouncing up and down on my head. I grumbled as I grabbed the pink pony by the leg.
"Excuse me, but you do realise that you're hurting my head a little bit" I stated as I let go, grumpily. "Oh, I'm sorry" the pink pony jumped off my head and looked at me.
I lifted up my goggles, and lowered the zip on the cloak and smiled at her. "Its okay, as I was trying to explain, I was just taking her to the hospital," I summed up as I continued walking past them. "Well that wasn't far was it" I chuckled as I knelt down to let the cyan Pegasus off.
"Thanks dude" Rainbow smiled as she checked herself in.
I walked back home, looking around to see frightened ponies running into their homes, I let out a glum sigh. I slowly unlocked the door to my home, walking in to see everything was exactly as I had left it. I walked over to the living room and plonked myself down on the sofa, taking off the cloak and throwing it on a chair. I dragged the amp into the room, and rigged it up to the blue Stratocaster.
Before long, I had the instrument retuned, and was playing a blues riff, but quickly got bored. Plugging my phone into the Ps3 currently rigged up to the widescreen tv, loaded up the backing tracks. And simply started to jam, blocking out all thoughts but one.
The music.
up the octave
The day had begun strangely, with the sudden realization that I was in the world of Equestria.
I stopped playing the guitar a while ago. I put the kettle on, and began to tidy up the place.
I had finally gotten round to making a cup of coffee. Taking a swig of the black liquid, I smiled.
"I have a name" I grumbled.
I stood up, stretching my back. The t-shirt hitched itself up and they noticed the hoof marks.
"anyway, introductions are in order, but first…tea, anyone?" I said with utmost British-ness.
"here you go, some tea," I said with a smile. "the name is Robbie"
"it's a pleasure to meet you Robbie, Im twilight sparkle, these are my friends Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie,"
"wait, where's the fifth member of your group?"
"Fluttershy? oh she's hiding" Twilight replied, I let out a small chuckle.
"Fluttershy," I spoke softly "its okay, come and have some tea" sure enough,
"she's fine, she had her wing set and she should be here any moment now" Pinkie Pie stated. Sure enough,
"what? I play when I'm trying to think of something to say" I chuckled as I continued playing a small tune. The tune was a basic version of the trooper,
Rarity was taken back by the musical ability I had in my possession. Twilight was looking at the instrument with studious eyes, and more importantly she was studying my hands.so random I thought to myself.
"Rob, did you help Sweetie belle's friend Scootaloo?" Rarity asked. I simply nodded.
"wouldn't you? I was surprised they didn't bolt for the door when they first saw me" I chuckled.
"I have to get going to, angel must be growing impatient, nice meeting you" the yellow Pegasus smiled as she hid behind her mane, I opened a window for her,
"go for it," I smiled, if that rabbit was like she described, then no doubt it was getting a tad worried.
"see ya later Robbie" the mare trotted off to the front door.
"I will" I shook the mares hoof.
I watched the six ponies walk back to the centre of Ponyville, a smile emblazoned on my face.
I was suddenly met by several curious ponies. Each one more frightened than the other.
I sighed. "I'm not from the everfree forest," I then smiled "im a new resident in Ponyville" the ponies looked at me in shock but then relaxed.
"You met pinkie pie already?" I nodded in reply once more.
"Well then, we'll see you at the party"
What party?
I continued walking. The beat of the music cause a smile to creep across my face.
While most ponies that saw me became slightly wary of me, I noticed as a few just walked up to get a closer look at me.
"I'm a stranger in this world, but I am also your new neighbour," I explained my presence in the small town. "So please, don't be frightened of me"
The ponyvillians looked confused, but continued their day to day lives; a bus had arrived in the town square.
Each home she went to turned her down. "Celestia damn it" it wasn't like her to swear.
I looked out of the front window to see a figure wandering down a path;
"Hey! Don't runaway!" I was slowly getting out of breath. "I want to help!"
I opened the door for her. As she trotted in, she was taken aback to how clean I had the place.
"that, my friend is the sound of one of Earth's finest, apocalyptica" I chuckled.
"I don't want to talk about it" she snapped, I sat down on the sofa, still smiling
I felt like I was shipwrecked, without any chance getting home.
With a deep sigh, and a slow squeak of a cork being pulled from a bottle, I poured myself a glass.
"ah, hey," I scratched my head nervously "what did you think of the room?"
"let me show you something," I switched on the computer, as it loaded up, I reconnected the speakers. "ah, here it is" I clicked on the icon for a video.
After stopping for a moment, I looked up. the video had stopped, Octavia was in the room watching me.
The smile on my face grew wider.
travel with the wilburys
The rain had stopped, moved on by, from what Octavia told me, the Pegasus weather control.
I simply smiled, "so," I paused to think. "How long have you been playing the cello then?"
"Prove it" she grinned slyly, I sighed.end of the line ," I cleared my throat and strummed the opening riff.
"Well it's alright, riding around in the breeze Well it's alright, if you live the life you please Well it's alright, doing the best you can Well it's alright, as long as you lend a hand"
I had a quick change of the chord structure, luckily I was quite dextorous.
"You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring Waiting for someone to tell you everything Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring Maybe a diamond ring"
I quickly switched back to the original chord structure again.
"Well it's alright, even if they say you're wrong Well it's alright, sometimes you gotta be strong Well it's alright, As long as you got somewhere to lay Well it's alright, everyday is just one day"
The final notes rung, mirroring the opening of the song.
"I could use your help down at the farm with something, you can bring your marefriend with you" she teased.Marefriend? Oh crap I thought to myself, looking back to Octavia, her grey fur failing to hide the redness in her cheeks.
"whoa what are you doing?" I ruffled her mane
The three fillies sped off ahead. I heard the huffing and puffing of a pony behind us.
"He sings" Octavia chuckled, helping make the situation a tad more nerve racking.
Applejack opened one of the smaller barn doors, as I gingerly lowered my head under the doorframe.
Octavia stopped dead in her tracks, sighing in defeat. "lady Von Cleft? What are you doing here?" A cream coloured pony
Walking over to the DJ booth, a lot of the ponies watched in awe. "hey, it's the creature of the
"fine dude, I'm rob, heh, when the next songs over, lemme take over" the white mare raised an eyebrow as I tapped my guitar.
"that's a headphone jack lead isn't it?" I indicated, she nodded, the song had finished. I plugged the phone in.
the microphone was sitting there awaiting my command. "fuck it, you only live once right?" I thought out loud.
"hey, anybody else no how to play an instrument?" I spoke through the microphone, several ponies came trotting up.
pinkie pie had once again some how broken the laws of physics, knowing what was coming next.
Octavia was standing right next to me with her cello, using it as a double bass. I flashed her a grin. "ready?" she nodded
"this one is an old favourite of mine, HIT IT !" I shouted. The pianist pony began playing.
We reached the second verse.
"lift your other foot up (other foot up) Fall on your ass (fall on your ass) Get back up (get back up) Put your teeth in a glass (teeth in a glass) Ain't ever been nothin' quite like this It's a magical thing called the Wilbury Twist"
the ponies were loving it, dancing around the room. As the looming sounds of
The ponies chuckled at my face pulling. Hell, even pinkie pie was pulling faces.
My mind spun for a while, trying to process the events happening before my very eyes.where does she get all those wonderful toys?
As I lent against Octavia for support, she trotted off. I landed on my face.
I fell asleep as I heard the gentle hoof-steps aimlessly wandering up the stairs.
Why am I here?
What is my purpose?
My brain metaphorically kicked me in the balls.
The thin E string had found its way through my index finger. I swore and cursed under my breath for a few minutes.
She noted my bloodshot eyes; the bags underneath them seemed to echo the worlds old and grumpy.
It was going to be a long night.
You've got mail
I had stood in the shower once more, the hot water cascading over me.
The smell of green tea floated into my nostrils. I looked up to see the grey mare usher me into the living room.
"Well, back home, I was always the disappointment," I sighed glumly "and I, in basic terms, felt alone,"
Since when was I so flirtatious I chuckled to myself. "But I could tell you needed someone" I smiled a genuine smile.
Sure enough, the grey mare was right. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was asleep.
(A/N: funny thing about the music college. They can be real C***S)
Everything grew colder as time moved forwards. I was sat there in the office of the music college, "…so that's basically it is it?" I growled.
"Oh no, ROBBIE!" I heard a shriek.
I heard the faint sound of door knocks. "Just minute," I ran to the door.
My dear faithful student Twilight Sparkle. Thank you for the latest Friendship reports, How I do love to hear about the changes in you and your friends lives...
"Yadda yadda yadda nonsequential episodic mumbo jumbo…" I mumbled under my breath
…however as you have brought this up that the being known as Robert is not a pony….
"Blah blah blah, sending him a personal message…PERSONAL MESSAGE?" I shouted the last part.
To the being known as Robert.
For 2000 years my sister and I have ruled over Equestria. We have seen many different creatures in our long lifetime. But never have we seen or heard of something such as you. We request an audience with you.
Princess Celestia, Princess Luna.
"Wow," I heard the voice of my housemate "a royal summons, some-pony must really like you" Octavia let out a little chuckle.
An hour later, I decided to talk a short walk into town, deciding to look for work.
I watched a green flame shoot across the sky.
Apples came falling to the green grassy ground. "Well, looks like someone found himself a job"
I finally found a job, something I could never do on earth.
I promptly sat down, then elbowed the tree. A lone apple fell, landing in my outstretched hand.
"Thanks Jack" I smiled, then continued on my way.
Walking back to the house, I heard the sounds of music.
The sounds of the two instruments melded together. The melody had a slight depressing tone,
Seeing her like this pained me. Usually I would just try and cheer people up when they're like this. But not her, something was bothering her that much.
Octavia began the process of telling her story.
(5) the cello gently weeps
Octavia's harsh reality
"His name was Noteworthy," Octavia's voice shook with unbridled sadness.
This is a flashback, told through the eyes of Octavia.
today, except it was raining. I was living in manehatten, Blues capital of Equestria, at the time.
Usually I don't find anything, that day was in the norm. The raindrops hit my umbrella at a steady pace.
Vinyl Scratch disappears, Drugs may be linked.
The headline read, my old friend was gone, no doubt about that.
Noteworthy was speaking to my mother.
No, not speaking…
Shouting, not once had I ever heard him raise his voice until that day.
"I don't BUCKING CARE! THE BITCH IS SUFFOCATING ME!" I heard him shout.
."You can just Buck off, and as for you, mother" I stressed the now foreign word. "I never want to see you again" I turned around and ran.
It was one drink at first.
We now return to the mind of Robbie.
"I get it now," I pulled the now sobbing mare into a hug. "Your mother's a life controlling bitch and your ex is a money grabbing bastard"
I pinched the bridge of my nose in a weak attempt to stop the tears. "Looks like we're both damaged goods huh" I chuckled slightly. Octavia walked out, I heard the click of the kettle.
"6 years, 6 long cold years, the woman toyed with my heart like a kitten playing with a ball of yarn" I answered.
She took one of the drinks, and gingerly took a sip. I watched as she registered the different flavours of the strange liquid.
"Another day to bleed Another day to die Another day to blackout and then go blind Maniacal Blitzkrieg Where the maggots play God Where the souls of the lost come to die The Concrete Jungle It's the well of the damned Once You Step inside and Then you'll understand Misfits, psychos and the twisted slaves The house of the sane No one can be saved"
She looked flabbergasted, As though she had never heard lyrical content like this.
She took her plate out, as I followed suit she turned around. "You know, you've got a really bizarre taste in music"
Different people or ponies if you prefer, same phrase, why should Equestria be any different.
This chapter was a tad awkward to write, hence why it's a little bit short.
I had writers block earlier in the day, so this may get revised into a more depressive chapter… I don't know yet.
But thanks for the reviews so far, and as you can tell… I like my musician ponies as much as I like my music.
also, if you want the recipe for Concrete jungle, just ask
channelling Barney Stinson
It had been a few days since Octavia poured out her past to me.
Oh crap, not now… not now I thought to myself. I was beginning to get… attracted.
Jumping into the shower, I began to sing, making it up as I went along. But the lyrics began to make more and more sense as the time passed.
Turns out, the change had been instantaneous. I didn't feel all that different until I noticed that:-
I wasn't fat anymore.
I had toned muscles.
I had a musical note on the base of my neck.
It was confusing at first, but I simply shrugged my shoulders and
I turned the music off.
I took a deep sigh, so, you're now attracted to your house guest, and to top it all off, you now have wingless boner.
As I walked down the steps, there was a knock at the door.
I suddenly became flustered. "eh, well you know, after sharing a few bottles of wine, we got to know each other and um….. uh…I got nothing," I hung my head low in defeat.
Octavia reached the bottom step. "Ready to go?" I asked, she simply nodded, not letting on that she heard all of it.
I stopped for a moment, "hang on," I ran into the living room to grab my acoustic. "you never know if your gonna be put on the spot" I chuckled.
Twilight didn't want to make a comment on this, but she did. "so, how is everything now? I heard about your accident"
The Chariot began to move, slowly at first.
"heh, want to hear a new one ?" I chuckled as the two mares nodded.
"Run and tell all of the angels This could take all night Think I need a devil to help me get things right Hook me up a new revolution Cause this one is a lie We sat around laughing and watched the last one die"
I changed the chord progression as the chorus began.
"I'm looking to the sky to save me Looking for a sign of life Looking for something to help me burn out bright I'm looking for a complication Looking cause I'm tired of trying Make my way back home when I learn to fly high"
I switched the chord progression once more for a bridge, closing my eyes as I played.
"Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone Try to live this life my own Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone Try to live this life my own. . ."
I took another glance, towards the pilots, they were smiling.
"I'm looking to the sky to save me Looking for a sign of life Looking for something to help me burn out bright I'm looking for a complication Looking cause I'm tired of trying Make my way back home when I learn to"
I smiled as I played the final notes, they both looked at me as if to say play another one.
Walking while playing was pretty easy, but I was getting odd looks form the guards-ponies.
We walked through the large doors. I unzipped the cloak, then placed the guitar on my back.
"so what are you doing in Equestria?" a new voice came, sounding a lot younger.
I then explained tot hem my personal problem. "but it seems that me being here has allowed me to finally get some sleep" I smiled after
"Thank you Robert" I turned to see the surprised look on Celestia's face.
How could I say no.
I began strumming the D chord, while gazing at the floor, trying to remember the lyrics.
I closed my eyes.
"Been beat up and battered 'round
the princesses were watching intently as I moved around, sawying to the music I made.
"Handle me with care
I reached my favourite part of the song.
"Everybody's got somebody to lean on
I gazed into Octavia's eyes without realizing.
Octavia wasn't my house guest anymore.
You done fucked up man, you just fell in love.
Shut up, brain
(7) Stranger things have happened
The sun had risen on another lazy day in Equestria. Luckily for me, it was my day off.ioh crapbaskets I immediately thought.
"Book," I simply uttered with a sly smile. "Just about to take a break from it"
She listened as I explained that the book was a collection of novellas written by H.P. Lovecraft.
As the day dragged on, I took a walk.
We ended up playing a bizarre rendition of whiskey in the jar. I gave a quick flick of the wrist as it ached.
"What the hell are you?" she shook with fear. I simply grinned.
Before we even got half way to the house, I felt a pair of hooves connect with my chest.
"I'm not going to hurt you," I chuckled. "But they will" I pointed to the direction of two blips.
"…And now, im going to hospital" I collapsed.
Octavia P.O.V
I could only watch as Robert stood up for me.
"Octavia Von Clef, there you are," my idiot mother had finally arrived on the scene.
"Excuse me miss, could you tell me what happened?" I heard the paramedic ask, but she shot me a strange look as I explained.
"He's in a stable condition," the doctor said to me.
I was lead through white corridors; Rob had been given his
"Octavia, there you are," my mother burst through the door. "Leave that horrid thing"
"By the gods, it feels like I've caught in a horde" I heard Rob's voice quietly breaking the silence.
If there was one thing I was right about, it was that he was and is always smiling.
Robs brain
"Tavi, RIBS!" I choked out, laughing again. It hurt to laugh.
I was currently in the embrace of Octavia; little does she know that I heard everything.
"but, I like being reckless" I frowned.
She raised an eyebrow in question. "why exactly?" expecting a detailed answer.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the six ponies watching with smiles on their faces.
crapbaskets.
"oh this is just like one of those romantic novels I love so much" Rarity beamed.
I grinned and then relaxed knowing I wouldn't have to do anything.
this was going to be a good day.
(8) White wine in the sun
red wine in the moon
It had been three days.
I was stuck in the hospital; my healing was luckily accelerated thanks to my strange physiology.
"Well, if I know Octavia, she'll want to go see something amazing, something inspiring," I looked up for a moment.
"A love song? Really now rarity, don't you think that's a tad cliché?" I retorted with a cheeky smile.
"Have you tried writing your own?" I simply nodded and explained that most of the songs I had written were vengeful.
"What is this?" Rarity asked.
"Guitar tablature and chord website" I grinned.
I opened another tab and loaded up You-tube, clicking my play-list full of metal and other things.
"Are you sure?"
I knocked four times. But heard a sudden scream and an "OH MY CELESTIA, I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!"
"Hey doctor, sorry about the whole knocking four times thing"
"He's a bizarre one isn't he," the doctor chuckled and looked at the time. "Oh no, ditzy is going to kill me"
I spotted Rarity go back into the Carousel Boutique; she noticed the smile on my face.
Looking above the roof of the house, I saw the pale white orb.
"Excuse me, sir" I heard a royal equestrian voice calmly perforate the stillness of the night.
"Oh, well," I could see her face drop "who's the lucky mare?" she asked.
"P-princess Luna? Oh my" the voice of the lucky mare whistled in the wind.
I left for a short walk down to the restaurant, it was a short walk. I had my music on, and a guitar resting on my back.
"Sorry I kept you waiting" she stood before me.
As we walked up to the resturaunt, the maitre de gave me a quizzical look. "Name?" he watched as I smiled a toothy grin.Great, why is every-pony suddenly afraid of me? I thought to myself, looking slightly glum
"Octavia, you decide" I smiled at her with a wink.
Within seconds, a bottle of white wine was brought to the table. "Here you are" the waitress was still nervous.
She trotted off to pick up two menus's, then watched in awe as I effortlessly opened the bottle of wine and poured out the liquid into each glass.
"I see, and the way they were acting?"
The night went smoothly, without a hitch until something went off. "Where is that freak!" I heard a shout from the entrance.are you crazy? I continued to smile.
"Noteworthy, you know what you are?" my smile faded. "You are afraid" I took a sip of the wine. It was a very good year.
"Dick move," I turned to Sunstreak who was helping Octavia up. "Do you have a bottle of red wine somewhere?" she instantly brought one out and gave it to me.
I chuckled to myself, but was brought to an abrupt stop. "She's not breathing," I burst back into reality hearing Sunstreaks voice.
I began the process of C.P.R; the ponies seemingly new to this concept were disgusted,
The ambulance arrived, they could see the tears and wine stains on my shirt,
The musical number I had planned would have to wait.
Ginger snaps
As I sat there, in a catatonic state waiting for Octavia to rouse from her comatose state, I felt anger.
Flashback
I used to get bullied a lot. More than a lot.
All the time. It was harsh. Everyday I'd wake up, usual morning routine, go to school.
As soon as I stepped foot on that bus, hell began once again.
I was taunted with various comments. "Hey ginger, get back min your biscuit tin"
I would block it out, but to no avail. They then decided to start hitting me.
Getting off the bus, I would quickly dart for the school library, only to be tripped by three of the 20 bullies who would continue to hound me until I left. It was the first year in high school. They had started to pick on me for being ginger. I stood up and carried on. Until I made friends, who would help me out on occasion, I was always trying to hide. It had been 2 years since it began, and the bullies kept piling up, attempting to get some kind of reaction.
My third year of high school was with out a shadow of a doubt, the worst.
It all began on a Tuesday morning, art class. I had my clay work destroyed by three idiotic morons. I got stressed and walked out; I walking out had become a regular thing at this point. The teachers there pretty understood, until I flipped. Not because of my destroyed art work. Not because I had just about all I could take.
But it was simply because they gave up and turned their attention to my friends. I did the most stupid thing ever. I picked up a stool, and pinned one of them against the wall. My eyes locked onto his, and he could see rage in my eyes. I spoke "leave my friends alone, if you want to bother someone, bother me" I then moved the stool away and threw a fist into the wall… missing his head by a centimetre. I was pissed off.
But that was the catalyst. I had started a chain of events that I could no longer control. At one point, it took the combined strength of my 6 friends to stop me from literally killing someone. I had to go to anger management not long after that incident. The teachers could see I was ashamed of what I had become. I had become a hate filled justice seeker. I brought it upon myself.
But then again…
So did they.
It was a Friday afternoon. Some douche had thrown me into a locker. I gave up holding back, putting his head through a window. The second person to piss me off that day had his head shoved into a locker. I slammed the door. Third person had a stool thrown at him The fourth person, I picked up a table with one arm and threw it. I missed luckily for him. I had finally calmed down. But it was too late. I had hospitalized my best friend. She forgave me. But I could never forgive myself.
End flashback
"…and now you know Noteworthy…" I was talking to the pony who attacked me once before.
"I'm sorry, c-c-c-can you forgive me?" the blue pony asked, his voice cracked and muffled by a broken nose.
I returned to Octavia's bedside, I refused to leave seldom to relieve myself.
"Thought I'd cheer myself up" I said glumly, considering my own reference didn't work.
I then leant over and kissed her forehead. "Wake up soon, sleeping beauty" I began to tear up.
There was a sudden tapping on the window. It was rainbow dash.
"Hey dude, Twilight and the others sent me to check up ya"
RD looked at me, something was bothering her. "How did you do it?"
"Do what?" I heard a sigh emanating from dash's lips.
"Oh, heh, I just asked while I was in hospital that day," I chuckled nervously. "If I hadn't I probably never would"
"Pinkie pie" I couldn't help myself but laugh.
I then told her the best way to do it is to just go with the flow, "just tell her how you feel, Dash"
I picked up the acoustic and started playing.
"You wrote that?" she asked as I pulled the cork out of the red wine.
"Ready Fredric?" I asked. He simply nodded and began to conduct.
The music began, as I faded in and out of a trance-like state of mind.
After the song had finished, I glanced over to Fredric, who was sitting there
Looks like I wont be needing that spell after all I thought to myself.
It was a long night. They went back to the hotel.
I was suddenly called to the hospital.
As I walked through the hospital wards, I was accompanied by nurse
She looked over to me. "Sunstreak told me what had happened," I was
I sighed. "learnt it in high school" she looked at me puzzled.
I was lost in a sea of violet once more. "Like a ship, on the sea, your love, rolls over me " I sung quietly in her ear.
My revelation to the foolish noteworthy had made me think.
I looked up to the moon, taking in a deep breath of the cool night air.
(10) by the light of the moon
broken glass
I sat down in the newly formed back garden of my house.
"hey, Robbie! Octavia's coming out of the hospital tomorrow, here's the party invite"
Oddly enough, I wasn't the only one enjoying it.
A/N: Here's where it gets…. complicated
morning had broken.
"not today thank you" I stated, but the mare wouldn't give in. "but, but" Octavia wanted to get off. "no buts… I just… don't feel ready for this you know?" "wait, what? You're still a" I interrupted her "yes, is there a problem with that?" "well, not really, but aren't you embarrassed?" I was taken aback by that comment, much so that I was a tad annoyed. "fuck no, why the hell should I be, its not fucking important is it?" I cursed. The grey mare looked at me in shock.
"obviously it's a touchy subject," she looked at me with pleading eyes, desperately wanting to have her way with me. "but I want this, I really do" I could tell, she was wet with anticipation. "look Tavi, just… not tonight okay? You've only just got out of the hospital" I said with a hint of worry. "but… Fine" she left the room, went into hers and slammed the door. I knocked on the door. "remember, I did say, not tonight" I chuckled, waiting for a reply. The only thing I got was heavy breathing and small moans of enjoyment.
I shrugged my shoulders and went to bed.
I slowly walked down the stairs, taking care not to wake Octavia up.
4:35pm.
The thought of the day at that point was a certain hare jumping around in my head screaming "oh no, oh no going to be late, terribly late"
I watched as she flew off shouting expletives on my level.
I shrugged it off, continuing my journey home to pick up my guitar and line six amp.
"you shouldn't really be here Noteworthy, but… no worries"
I opted not to sing like a ship. Something was off…
Pinkie stood there and watched.One Sacred Hour "
I stood there watching all the ponies hush up. they then stood to watch the performance.
I watched as Octavia and blues began to dance.
"All of my dreams that fell through and had tasted so sour Take second place in my mind for this one sacred hour Still I've been moved for so long by this strange fascination Here as I stand all alone in complete concentration Face through the clouds in the Gods shine with awe and splendour"
I ignored the grey and blue dancers and continued on.
"Rise up and roar they approve will they always remember I hear the voice of the crowd, it will last forever Locked in my heart kept away like a stolen treasure"
I changed the chord progression.
"I can hear them calling Hear the crowd applauding If it's real I like the feeling If I'm wrong who am I deceiving?"
I started to head-bang along with the other cellists.
"Night after night it repeats an exciting romance Shared by us all though we met by a fleeting half-chance Caught, trapped in time no escape from this powerful dream-world Pleased though I am to be here I am lost in the real world
The solo began once again. My fingers had earnt the right to bleed, more so than they did on the acoustic.
"in this one sacred hour !" I sang the last lyric. Holding the last note.
The party was over. I watched as the blue and grey dancers left together.
This was going to be a long night.
She patched me up, and sent me off home.
I left a note.
If you need me, I'll be helping Pinkie...
Robert
I took a bottle opener with me.
"oh hey Rob, what are you doing here?"
"that's better… time to tidy" I grinned, pushing the recent memory
Needless to say…
I felt like shit, but I helped tidy up the place to the best of my abilities.
"Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and marks any heart not tough or strong enough to take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain "
"what was that sugarcube?" applejack looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
I didn't want to go any further.
30 internets for whoever guesses the last song.
GMH
Finally arriving at the library, we heard a belch come from inside.
"Spike, get 8 glasses" Twilight then shot me a look.
"Let's just enjoy the rest of the night" I pushed back the depressive thoughts in my mind.
Fluttershy looked as though it was the saddest story she had heard.
I pulled the tie up to my forehead, akin to a bandana.
"Can I see these memories?"
It had been an hour since we started. We emptied two of the three wine bottles.
This was going to be hard, but then again. It would be fun either way.
Twilight spun the bottle, it landed on me.here goes "
The ponies sat and listened as I poured my heart out.
I spun the bottle next. It landed on Rarity.
She then spun the bottle, I watched as it landed on Luna. Oh crap.
"Truth"
"Where did that scar along your side come from" Luna asked, I remembered she had seen me with my shirt off before.
Flash bang flashback!
I walked along the sidewalk, humming a simple tune. I heard a scream, and three men. "Come on you little bitch" "Yeah, give up" I looked down the alleyway. One had her by the arms, pinning her against the wall. Another was holding her bag, riffling through it in search of money. "The bitch aint got anything" "No but I have" I stood in the moonlight, silhouetted.
The men started to laugh. "Let the girl go, and no-one gets hurt" I growled. The three men just laughed. "Eh fuck off man, cant you see we're trying" I jumped up and kicked him square in the jaw. "Did I forget something?" I chuckled. "Get this punk" I heard the guy speak. He spat out blood as he drew a knife. "Is that all?" I chuckled, taking a glance at the pathetic looking blade. I grabbed him by the arm, throwing the goon to the ground. "Boot to the head" I kicked his head into the wall, rendering him unconscious. "Motherfucker!" the second bloke rushed me. I simply brought my knee up, he ran into it, balls first. "Next time, mind your surroundings" I grumbled as the other one had caught me in the side with the knife. I pulled a chuck Norris, and roundhouse kicked him in the face. I almost shattered his skull due to the speed and force I was using. "Are you okay miss?" I asked as she pulled out a phone. Within a few minutes I heard police sirens and an ambulance arriving. I blacked out.
Back in the library
"… and that's when I was told I was lucky to be alive" I summed up my story.
"Eh… they were a bit like you guys," I chuckled. "Although they'd say I was kind of the pinkie pie of the group"
We had been drinking a bit more, finally the fun truly began.
I looked over to Pinkie pie, she was in the process of pouncing on Dash with a gigantic grin on her face.
She broke the kiss; "thou dost not know how long I wanted to do that" she smiled coyly.
I am definitely not sleeping now I thought to myself.
No melody
I sat there gazing up at the stars, a bottle of Jack Daniels rested on the banister next to me.
"With Noteworthy? After all he's done" she raised a hoof to stop me.
"Robert…just" I stood up from the bush and simply raised a middle finger.
"Its okay, I'm here" it was Luna.
I lacked the strength to face them head on.
"What?" I heard Luna ask.
"Yes, I do," I placed a hand on her chin "but that can't be the only reason"
She told me the story of how she succumbed to Nightmare moon, I could only sit there.
As she broke the kiss she giggled "I'll take your state of shock as a yes, say next friday? Your house?"
"I'm such a fool" I mumbled as I drifted off into a deep sleep.
Mane six
It was 10am when the hangovers first reared their ugly heads.
"Remind me never ta drink that much again" came the southern Texas drawl from underneath a table.
"Guys, he's asleep on the balcony"
back in my head
"feels like a kick in the teeth" I groaned as I awoke from my seemingly restless slumber.
I pressed the play button on my phone. "right, Pancakes "
As they walked in, I watched the jaws collectively drop.
Doesn't bare thinking aboutCrystal Skull Vodka "
"hmmm, you need to meet a friend of ours" Rarity spoke, glum that she heard of diamonds being used in such a way.
"Berry?"
"Yep"
As the others left the library, I decided to wash the dishes, much to the protests of Twilight and Spike.
Oh crap
I realized now just what I had gotten myself into.
The thoughts swirling around my head at this point simply pointed to Octavia's guilt.
Grabbing a wooden chair, I moved it outside. I simply sat down and watched the world go by.happy .
"Fair enough, I'm holding a get together down at the midnight mare, you wanna come?"
Life can't get better than this.
Don't blame me for the Mane six part of the chapter, solely written to BuckCherry plus i thought it would be freakin funny
Rhymes with witchy
I was sat in my living room, reading the book.My favourite , I thought.
I simply nodded as I grabbed the suit jacket.
Inside
"Those flips flops as you call them, are my friends, I thought you'd know that by now" the second voice groaned.
Back in my head
Me being a natural funny guy, I told a joke to the others.
My brain worked in overtime to think of something witty to say.
The others began to chuckle. Gilda walked out, and I heard a roar.
"Let me guess, she came here looking to spend some time with you," I took a swig of drink, choosing my next words.
Within an hour, the only two that were standing were me and Berry.
The next day
I was nudged awake by a pony, which simply smiled and said "let's get you home".
I walked up to the idiot griffon. "Hey," she turned around to shout some more.
"Me cure home get painkillers must hangover" my speech became intangible.
"Okay," she placed the painkillers and water in front of me.
Fuck you, you drank for two days straight.
Not now brain!
I was arguing with myself again.
Her eyes widened. "No…no-one but the Doctor's called me by that name before"
"And to be honest, I never noticed until you pointed it out" I continued.
As the grey Pegasus left the house, a faint smile crept onto my face.
I paced around the living room.
She stood up, we were face to face. I had a stern look plastered across my face.
I watched as the ponies looked at me with slight fear and admiration. The mayor thanked me.
Looks like its back to the hospital for us hey?
Starchild
I awoke in my bed, in total darkness.
I sat at the edge of the bed, mulling it over whether to crawl back underneath the duvet and sleep a little bit more.
I took my suit out, and placed in into the washing machine with immense speed.
After I got out of the shower, I had ran back up stairs in search of clothing.
Within a few hours and several clean bucks of a few trees,
"oh-shit-oh-shit-oh-shit" I ran through the town centre, I suddenly tripped on a branch,
I watched as her smile grew till it stretched from ear to ear
"Oh chocolate cake sounds good" I swear you can almost see her thought process.
It was a good job pinkie taught me how to bake; she had brought a few things, like cupcakes and muffins.
"Well, how to explain it," I sighed before drifting my gaze to the floor.
I pointed to the tear stained letter in question, the 6 then read it and looked up at me apologetically.
Dear Robert
I don't know what you did, but Noteworthy is a changed Colt. He mentioned you quite allot. I think he must have got jealous of you, said he wanted me back and said that he changed. He recalled the story you told him. I then told me that after he was arrested, he had volunteered for community work in Manhattan, he worked in a public school without a music programme. I know you must think me shallow after all that we've shared, but im sorry to say that this was just a fling and nothing more. I was simply attracted to you and the way you are. I hope you find what you are looking for in your life.
I'm sorry.
Octavia
Rarity read it aloud for the rest to here. I simply held my face in my hands;
maybe the thing had for Octavia was just a mere attraction, maybe it was just stupid infatuation,
"We could walk forever, walking on the moon "
I sung to myself, unfortunately she heard it.
Friday: 5:45 pm
I sat down, the food had been prepared. I saw that I had some spare time
"They can't break me As long as I know who I am " I sang out the melody.
As the song reached its crescendo, I smiled.
"Nice" the royal mare smiled. I forgot I left Slipknot in there.
Still got it?
Still got it!
As I led her to her seat, I pulled it out, acting as a true gentleman would.
After the meal, she followed me to the kitchen, where I began the clean up process.
"Really?"
"Relax, I know the story," she looked at me apologetically "and besides, it's not like I cared about the whole nightmare moon fiasco anyways"
I wondered what tomorrow would bring.
Tomorrow is going to be an awesome day.
to eleven
So… its been a week since the date,
“okay, okay…” little did I know that Celestia was listening in.
Robert, I’m sending a patient to live with you She recently reappeared and needs a place to stay for a while until she gets back on her hooves. She’ll be arriving in three days.
You’re the only one I can rely on. We have no room in the Hospital, and seeing as she’s healed better than we expected she should be there for a few weeks.
Her name is vinyl scratch Please look after her
DR WHOOVES MD
“oh…well that’s just…” I huffed.
As I walked through the front door, I could see the house was a slight mess.all the way to eleven ” I chuckled to myself.
the music blaring out of the speakers gave me a
i turned the music off, and decided to walk to the hospital.
As I walked through the doors of the hospital, I said hello to the nurses who previously patched me up.
I followed him to a room where there was a heated argument,
I walked in and opened a window. “meh, aint stuffy now, shut up”yeah, responsible, I cant even drink responsibly I chuckled to myself.
“well, look, if your that desperate to get out of here, just come with me now” I smiled.
“jeez, I don’t know whether to be insulted or complimented” I chuckled.
The white unicorn huffed as she followed me out of the hospital.
I raised an eyebrow. And then she told me what had happened.
“meh, shit happens” I chuckled as I placed my arms behind my head.
I opened the door for her. “erm… fillies first” I chuckled.
What happened next seemed like it was out of either a very cheesy tokusatsuGIANT FUCKING MONSTERS ) flick or out of a fanfiction (see what I did there )
this is going to suck “hey, dragon, I’m really not in the mood so kindly leave” I grumbled.screamed .
It shot up in pain. It's eardrums were burst as it fled. as it turned, it's tail connected with my chest, sending me flying into a tree.
I had saved Ponyville, but it had almost cost me my life. But that’s stupidity for you.oh fuck, Luna’s gonna kill me
short chapter Bronies... considering i've been having so many different ideas popping in and out of my head... stupid ideas
not so helpless ...
As I lay there on the hospital bed, I began to wonder...
There wasn’t allot I could do at that point. I could only lie and wait for any pony to come walking
"I heard about what you did for Octavia, I" I interrupted her.
"Yes, you were" the dark alicorn smiled.
"Well, how do I look then, Lulu?"
"Oh... t-that’s quite alright" she spoke quietly; I turned around to look at her.
"Lulu..." I placed a hand on the back of her neck. She stopped to look at me.
"I.... I have to go, Rob" she finally spoke after holding me in an embrace.
As the others finally walked back in, I was reminded of why I loved ponyville.
"I see you're slowly recovering," the voice said. The voice belonged to an alabaster alicorn.
“Is this about…me and”
“What the hell is so funny?”
There was a great weight lifted off of me as I laid my head back.
The alabaster alicorn disappeared after she saw my head go back onto the pillow.
“Octavia, what bring s you to Ponyville” Vinyl smiled at her old friend.
I watched as vinyl, Octavia and Noteworthy’s jaws drop. I then let out a hearty laugh, which was abruptly brought to a stop by a coughing fit.
“Only when I laugh” I chuckled lightly, beaming away.
Higher?
The sunlight broke through the curtains, cascading over my eyes.
The bags under my eyes were no longer visible, but I still had some form of bed-head.
Rainbow dash had crashed again, and was arguing that she didn’t need to read a book.
As the others walked out, I sat at the edge of the bed.
as I walked out, she re-read the title.
Walking through the town, I noticed it had become eerily quiet.
I got to the house, it was quiet.perhaps it’s a P.P party inside I thought to myself.
Needless to say, the party was good, if not… fuckin awesome.
“yo pinkie!!!” I shouted, “turn the music off for a bit, time for some live stuff”drums kicked in as I laughed maniacally. Pinkie pie threw me a very recognizable bottle. “it’s a party, it’s a party ” I sung.
as the night went on, i watched as ponies partied hard. i unwrapped the bottle. sweet sweet Jager.when its time to party, we will party hard! uh oh, Wingboners at twelve o clock i chuckled to myself.
as the music died down, the ponies all stopped to listen for a moment, hearing the moans and screams of enjoyment coming from the upstairs bedroom. within a few moments they had left, due to embarassment.
waking up to the sight of the sun once more, i looked around to see a sleeping Alicorn.
"it was certainly one wild night " i chuckled as i de-tangled her mane.
i'm addicted to stress thats the way that i get things done...
it had been a few hours since Lulu had left for canterlot.
"never... drinking... again" i heard the blue maned DJ groan.
"anyways, gotta go... work ya know?" i darted out of the house not long after downing a cup of coffee.
"ya, know rob, yer all right" Vinyl said between bouts of laughter.
walking through the streets of ponyville, there was a calming air...
"whoa, sorry about that, dude"
Rainbow Dash joined your party
"so, training for the wonderbolts again?" i asked the rainbow maned mare.
i simply snuck up behind her and simply whispered "boo"
"hey, pinks are those double choc"
she handed me the boxes in a bag. as i checked the contents of the bag, i smiled and left.
as it turns out, mine and Pinkies were the last to be handed out.play .
Rarity was with another customer so, i provided some light entertainment.
within a few minutes i had heard the sounds of a tape measure reeling itself in three times.
within 10 minutes i was standing on the same spot, getting the clothes made from scratch.c'est magnifique " i smiled.
oh crap, She knows
"heh, who told you?" i was slightly worried.
Secret agent man.
it had been a few days since my little escapade at the boutique.
i ushered them into the living room.
the suit jacket had a checkered inside, white and black.snapped my fingers "Music magic, gotta love it"
"no shit" i chuckled. i took off the suit after a while.
it was now 4 o clock. isighed as i picked up the Ironbird first time in a week.did
outside, ponies gathered to listen to the music. it painted an image in thier minds of what it truly means to be alive.
inside, things were a little different, Vinyl had lost herself to the soothing sounds of the guitar.
"those tears, they arent for me are they?" i heard the calm, sweet voice of the mare i loved.
"also, quick Question, will BlueBlood be about for the GGG?" i asked as i pulled the Queen of the night towards me once more. "of course" she could tell what i was thinking.
i really dont know how i can keep up with this mare. i mean sure, she's finally making me come out of my shell...fingers once again, putting a pair of jogging bottoms on. i took a stretch, as did my partner in crime.
i took a deep breath. the smell of the canterlot air was slightly different, more... pineforesty...
i looked over to my Marefriend, and opened the door for her. "who ever says chivalry is dead is a liar and a thief"
Fitting in.
as we were ushered to a table, we were met with some strange looks.
"hmmm... maybe a nice red wine, or perhaps a rosé?"
the waitress placed the bottle down on the table, watching as i conversed with the night Princess.
as we sat and happily ate our meals, i noticed a large gathering of ponies on the other side of the window, watching us.
after walking out, i shrugged. "so, shall i walk you back? or" i felt light envelop me once more.
i collapsed on the bed, grinning like a muppet once more.
waking up, i tooka glance at the clock, 9:30am.
i finally arrived at the farm, slightly out of breath. "am i late?"
i began my work for the day.oh dear, i didnt think they'd use that photo
who could ask for anything more...
Time is a funny thing.
it had been several months since the date with Luna.
i strummed a few bars of music for a moment, small fillies and colts started clambering up with thier parents.sing .
i was always at peace whenever i sang this song. i had my eyes closed the whole time, lost in the music.
but thats all there is really...
getting off the train, my guitar rested on my back.
i finish my cappacino, the young mare comes and gives me a free refill of simple filter coffee.
"i'm sorry i forgot"
it had been three hours since she left to go back to the castle.
i then told him the phrase. he looked at me, confused at first.song .
the stallion came back with a small box, and simply stood next to me, enjoying the music.
i walked back to the coffee shop. "oh your back," Caffiene grinned. "did you get what you wanted?"oh great
(22) channelling barney stinson
more than words...
"...killjoys, make some noise"
i began my new routine, wake up, have brunch with Vinnie, have shower.
i picked up the guitar once again, grinning like an idiot.
Vinyl was being followed, she knew that much.
Vinnie, took one small step back from the giggling filly.
"oh great" i sighed.suit up "lets be a suave bastard i thought to myself as i donned the black shirt.
after a few moments, Vinyl walked in.
i grabbed the checkered hat and placed it on my head.
as we stepped outside, the sun was nearing its setting point.
as i sat there, i dosed off. the song still floating in my head.
"shhh, he's sleeping" Fluttershy smiled.wait to get that dress off you" Rainbow said with a sultry smile.
i suddenly woke up laughing. "well, after a rude yet somewhat kinky awakening, i have to say, Canterlot Castle looks lively tonight" i grinned.at the gala, at the gala, im gonna sing a song for the pony who enraptured my heart, still beating strong i'll sing it at the gala! what the fuck?"
Vinyl looked at me for a moment, equally confused.
Luna looked stunning, he dress simply radiated moonlight, the stars emblazoned on the hemm seemed to shine lightly.
inside, twilight was chatting with Celestia about various things.
i looked up for a moment, then i stood up. Luna looked a little nervous.winked at her. "may i have this dance?"
I'm standing on the moon, with nothing left to do, with a lonely view of heaven, but I'd rather be with you
"thats just one part, time for part two" i grinned as i ran to the stage. the band hadnt started playing again, knowing that the music magic was a cue. i opened the guitar case, and pulled out the guitar.song .
the ballroom fell quiet, not a single sound was heard apart from my voice and the guitar.
after the song was over, i returned to Luna's side, beginning to notice that the 7 ponies and one dragon who traveled with me apart from fluttershy were now cusing a small bit of havoc. i hadnt noticed Celestia standing next to me until she let out a giggle. "heh, you want me to raise the roof?"
i stood up, and shouted "yO VINNIE... LAY ME A FRESH DRUM BEAT! WE NEED BASS!" Vinyl rushed up to the drumset, Dash stood at the drums, i grabbed the stratocaster, and spike sat at the piano.BUCK SHEET UP !"
sponsored by Spinal tap
after the random outburst of music, i had decided to relax for the rest of the night.
after walking back to take a seat with Luna, i noticed she was still beaming away.that thing," he stated, "please remove it from the premises at once"
i then went on one of the greatest references of all time.
there was a eerie glow, and a voice. "good evening everyPony, i have an announcement to make" the voice of celestia rang out through the hall. all ponies turned to face the alicorn mare.awww's .
the Gala had drawn to a close. the 10 of us had decided to go to the coffee shop.
as we sat around a round table, i was humming a simple tune.
after the coffees had been drunk, i had gotten talking with Pinkie.
i looked over to Twilight with a slightly panicked expression. "ummm... she's...in Heat...all of canterlots mares are"
within moments i was teleported back to Luna's room.here's a little number i tossed off recently ...
within a few hours, we had fallen asleep.
"so, will this happen everynight?" i asked. considering the week.
i doubled over with laughter.
i just found my rhythm guitarist.love you"
Well, I was walking through the park an' my daily life it sucked, so I went on my first date an' I got well an' truly
(24) Home at the half-way house
Double entenres... i love em.
after sending off a letter via Snail-trail...wait...snail trail?....well , considering that i find this song annoying, it actually states something true" i winked.well you done done me and you bet i felt it.... "
the castle fell silent as the music carried itself across the air.
"i'm yours... " i looked up to Luna, who's smile was everpresent, and radiating happiness, more than that... it was radiating love. Celestia must have walked past, because she stepped in and sat down, enjoying the show.strum . there was a few ponies, servants and gaurds alike, waiting outside.
Lulu walked in and sat beside her sister, "he's right, you know" she smiled.walking on the moon "
after a while and a few select songs, the ponies left, save for one. Luna smiled at me.
yo, robbie... i got your letter, everythings fine here, and a few of the band members that you hoof..er...hand picked have shown up, i told them to stay inside the house next week. "they've reluctantly agreed, although one or two of them have decided to stay with the others. kinda stupid if you ask me, anyways... long story short, i'd be happy to drum for you
"Well, this is good," i grinned, "here, read it for yourself" i placd the letter infront of luna, and took a mouthful of the eggsalad sandwich. "wow, so your definately going ahead with this?"
meanwhile, outside the castle walls, it was basically night of the living mare.
she wasnt lying. i placed the guitar down onto the floor and launched myself at her.my room"
unfortunately for the guard who spoke, he was dragged off in the magical grasp of Celestia.
we interrupt our current Programming to enter the mind of one Vinyl Scratch....enjoy
well, after sending that letter, i simply waited.
my smile didnt falter. until of course... i saw him.
Pokey Pierce was once a sweet colt, until he got involved with the wrong crowd.wait... he blushed? and why the hell am i blushing? i thought to myself.
"ummm... h-how about we...g-go to that F-fancy resturaunt which had just opened" he was definately trying to beat his stammer, the poor guy. "um...sure, that actually sounds quite romantic" i blushed, i couldnt help it... there was something about this Colt that just seemed so... genuine.
"you know the house on that hill over there?"
5:30pm, the alarm went off on Robbies phone. i was pretty thankful that he shown me how to set it up.
there was another knock on the door. as i opened it, i simply smiled with a slight blush. celestia damnit its like i'm some lovestruck...filly..in a badly written....oh well thats just fucking "Great! your here!" i grinned sheepishly.
i noticed he began to relax a little bit. "so.. how come your stutter is so bad?"
after the meal, we had another little walk. unknowingly we wandered to a hill near the lake.
i was always a little bit jealous of Luna, hell... what filly wouldnt be. but now? i've found my own Colt.
as we walked home he told me of his sole dream.
Vinyl needs love too
(26) but whips and chains excite me
(we now return to our original programming)
i awoke, still chianed to the bed. the cuffs were slowly cutting into my skin, but i didnt mind.
during my sleep, i flt the shackles being unlocked. my knuckles hit the floor with a thud.
i walked in, and sure enough, Luna was sat there, looking mildy embarrased.
within a few seconds, the world melted away, leaving just me and her. but it didnt last. she broke the kiss when a certain waiter cleared his throat. "oh umm... thanks dude" i ordered the food.
after a while, i found myself in the canterlot library, reading books on Equestrias composers.keyboard . the music spilled out of my head.
the music continued to play out as i snuck up behind Luna who was looking at an art piece, the cheeky mare thought i was still playing the piano. i pounced on her. bringing her down on top of me. she suddenly squee'd...
Rarity ran out as fast as she could, slightly embarrassed that she had stumbled upon us.
with in a few minutes we had decided to go for another shower.
and there was a knock at the door. "Princess Luna, it is time for lunch"
(27) and then i took a banana to the face
thats why i cant be bothered to go adventuring.
it had been several hours since lunch, Luna had gone off in saerch of a book to read in an attempt to fight off her urges.
Luna took a walk around the gardens. "oh... what am i going to do with him" she sighed.
she was suddenly sat down in a big room, filled with different humans of different creeds. the jazz music moved the crowd.began to play, she looked down at herself. she was in a human form, but she still had her hair. she was wearing a black sparkling dress.
losing herself in the music, she knew one thing. music was his life in someway. but she loved him for it.
Luna woke up next to me as I was rudely awoken.
i sat there in the gardens simply relaxing when the servants and chefs came out and simply smiled.wanted, dead or alive i should have known chaotic noise began to sound off. and then the piano kicked in. "heh, i knew you'd love this, did you know people used to say i looked like the guy...when i was fatter" i chuckled. Luna looked at me in confusion as i placed the guitar down and stood up. taking a deep breath, i began to sing.
she could hear sincereity in my voice as i sung. i constantly looked her in the eyes. i smiled as a choral choir began to echoe my words. she kissed me as the guitars kicked in. how cliche .
the canterlot lovers seemed to hear the song, which wasnt surprising, seeing as they moved the dance to a bedroom.
i somehow managed to summon a flying v into my hands. awesome .no i wont do that " i finished the song, ending it with a passionate kiss. as always, she returned the favour tenfold.
for a moment there i was really expecting to simply just sit there wiht her in my arms, just smooching away like there was no-one besides us. but alas, for fear of being caught she teleported us back to her bedroom.wake you up " she giggled. i knew she just wanted to relax, so i pulled out a book.the raven " i began to read .
yes... The Raven is my favourite Edgar Allen Poe poem... its just got this beautiful ebb and flow
usually i'd put something witty here...but instead...Warning: Reader discretion is advised... hence lemons...
and yes you can skip this part if you so wish
the original idea was...well.. no sex... but i did say that if she couldnt stave abstain she could wake me up. punishment . sure enough... we both came.
our lips once again met, as our tounges began to dance with each passing moment. finally, she buried her head into my chest and smiled. "Thank you Rob" i kissed her forehead.
the sunlight hit my eyes, i was lying alone in a large bed.
starting up the shower, i simply kept a goofy grin plastered on my face. "well, that was fun"
"i'm Graze Black" the stallion gave a smile, his green coat and black mane seemed to shimmer.
so drinking was out until such a time. "so, where you from Shamrock?"go figure, sounds a tad like dublin "t'was a nice place, but i felt like a bit of a change"
"so.. you guys have snooker here?" i chuckled.
sure enough, i beat Graze... but lost to Shamrock.
until he called me a cheeky cunt and hit me in the leg with the cue.
heh, not bad for my first attempt?
(29) another Cloplin drinking song
How many potatoes does it take to kill an Irishman?
it had been serveral hours of pretty mucha tour of the different parts of Canterlot, we had stopped at Pony Joes for a coffee and a doughnut,. i watched as Graze tried and failed at flirting with Caffiene.
as we walked in, i was met with the smell of strong alcohol, which instantly put a smile on my face.
"Good evening ladies and gentle colts, i'm green pastures"
"tonight we be singing an od favorite of his as a true Cloplin welcome" Pastures smiled.this ." they burst into song, and i started them off with the lyrics.
"Gather round ye lads and lasses Set ye for awhile And hearken to me mournful tale about the Emerald Isle Let's all raise our glasses high to friends and family gone And lift our voices in another Cloplin drinking song "
we were met with cheers as i continued
"Consumption took me mother and Me father got the pox Me brother drank the whiskey till he wound up in a box Me other brother in the troubles met with his demise Me sister has forever closed her smiling Irish eyes "
the ponies began to slowly join in.
"Now everybody's died So, until our tears have dried We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more We'll dance and sing and fight until the early morning light Then we'll throw up, pass out, wakeup, and then go drinking once again "
some ponies began to dance like madcoltsKenny was killed in Killkenny And Clare she died in Claire Tip in Tiperrary died out in the dairy air Shannon jumped into the river Shannon back in June Ernie fell into the urn and Tom is in the tomb "
i took a swig of beer,
"Cleanliness is godliness me uncle Pat would sing He broke his neck a slipping on a bar o' Cloplin Spring O'Grady he was eighty though his bride was just a pup He died upon the honeymoon when she got his Cloplin up "
the last line was met with a roar of impromtu laughter
"Now everybody's died So, until our tears have dried We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more We'll dance and sing and fight until the early morning light Then we'll throw up, pass out, wakeup, and then go drinking once again "
Graze stood infront of the microphone and put on a bizarre indian accent.
"Joe Murphy fought with Riley near the cliffs of Odinie
When Timmy Johnson broke his neck it was a crying shame
"Now everybody's died So, until our tears have dried We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more We'll dance and sing and fight until the early morning light Then we'll throw up, pass out, wakeup, and then go drinking once again "
"Me drunken Uncle Brendan tried to drive home from the bar The road rose up to meet him when he fell out of his cart Irony was what befell me great grand-uncle Sam He choked upon the very last potato in the land "
"Conner lived in Ulster town He used to smuggle arms Until the trotteniegh killed him And cut off his lucky charms And dear old father Flannigan who left the Lord's employ Drunk on sacramental wine beneath the alter boy "
one pony place another round of beers infront of us.
"Now everybody's died So, until our tears have dried We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more We'll dance and sing and fight until the early morning light Then we'll throw up, pass out, wakeup, and then go drinking once again "
i took a deep breath and placed a solemn look on my face.
"Someday soon I'll leave this world of pain and toil and sin The Lord will take me by the hand to join all of me kin Me only wish is when the savior comes for me and you He kills the cast of river dance and Michael Flately too "
every pony jopined in on the last chorus
"Now everybody's died So, until our tears have dried We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more We'll dance and sing and fight until the early morning light Then we'll throw up, pass out, wakeup, and then go drinking once again Then we'll throw up, pass out, wakeup, and then go drinking once again Then we'll throw up, pass out, wakeup, and then go driiinkiiing ooonce aaaagaaaiiin Hoyee "
after what had seemd like a good few hours of drinking, i had decided to tell my bad jokes.
i walked out with a small song in my head.You may bury me with an enemy in Mount Calvary You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile I could really give a shit, I'm going out in style "
i walked past the different houses and shops. finally arriving at the castle gates, i said hello to the night guards. they kindly let me in. as i walked around, i noticed Luna was reading the edgar allen poe book.
aaaaaaand were back! sorry for the long ass delay, but currently the universe has taken it upon itself to shit on me
last time on TMDGB.... nothing much happened... other than a large recruitment drive for the band
See those city lights
The sun rose on another day in Equestria, the smiles could be seen for miles around. it had been several weeks since i left ponyville to... "ride" the Heatwave out with Luna. things we're kept interesting for a while. i played a few pranks, occasionally performed at the bannered mare and i might have had a minor dispute with the Griffin king, well i say minor...
"you got guts kid, Nopony has ever tried to argue with me apart from Celestia" the king chuckled.
Suffice to say, the king didn't look pleased. not one bit.
history if you will.
i was focused on Packing for the trip back to Ponyville. something told me i needed to be there.
but right now, i was in the first full recording session for the band, the un-named band.the D? holy buck "fillies and Gentlecolts, i give you tenacious D!" i chuckled.
watching the two leave i couldn't help but wonder if the human Tenacious D ever released another album.
"oh hey you two," Caffeine shouted gleefully. "how have you been?"no
flashback'
a week ago
"hello again buddy" i grinned while walking into the jewellers.
to Equestria's only human in case you haven't noticed, i've retired. my Daughters Inky and Blinky have taken over, but that doesnt mean i can't do something for you. in the box is a selection of different gems and other varieties. you'll also notice in a small bag inside the box is a ring designed for your "finger" as you call it. whoops, said too much about that already. however i can offer one final service, to create a new piece for you and Luna if you wish,
sincerely and thankfully Golden Band
i looked up at Inky, "could you ask him to make an silver bangle decorated in obsidian for me?"
present day
i knocked on the door to the jewelers. it was surprisingly quiet.
"its... beautiful, hell... its perfect" a tear rolled down my cheek as i spoke.
i walked at a slow pace, when i was abruptly brought into the recording studio.drums . soon the entire band came together. Cello remained quiet until the chorus. harmonizing with me.
i opened my eyes again as i repeated the pre-chorus, Luna looked at me, she knew that music was my way of dealing with things. After the song had ended i sighed, "i feel a bit better now, third track " i then smiled.evil . i tickled her.
"I want you to sing this one" the music was already playing. she blushed and took her place behind the mic.
(31) I want to be the one
or The grand finale
The soft pitter patter of the rain on the pavement outside gently mixed in with the sounds of smooth jazz.
great minds think alike
our food had arrived, initially the two mares just thought that we were celebrating the finishing touches to the album.
as i reached the table, the three were talking about how much music had changed since i arrived.
i pondered this for a moment. wondering what i'd look like as a pony. shaking the thought, i simply smiled.
i got out of my seat first. "what are you doing, Rob?" i chuckled.
Time seemed to stop, but it started again when she kissed me, repeatedly.nice going kid
time had passed, it was time, Vinyl agreed to have her wedding first.
at the reception, i had made a few cocktails, handed a few recipes out to those who wanted it.
time passed once more as the big day loomed forwards.
So with out any further due, I give you…
The more days go by
The leaves gently danced on the ground with the wind, the raindrops adding moisture to the bitter sting of cold air. The moon hiding behind a blanket of black and grey clouds, like a sleeping child gently tucked into bed.DH3: Fallen leaves . Taking a weary look at the clock in the corner of the screen, he could barely make out the time. He pressed down on his mobile phone, the screen came to life. He read the time.
He crept up slowly, not wanting the floorboards to creak and wake the members of his family up.
The figure was abruptly woken by an alarm. 1:30 pm.
The figure was me.
(epilogue) The more days go by
"and that, kids, is how i landed in Equestria, became the patron saint of rock and roll.... and married the most beautiful mare in the land" i chuckled. the 3 kids looked at me for a moment.
i sighed. hearing that line several years ago, i looked out the window. "come on micky, jackkle, your mother's here"
doesn't mean we couldn't adopt.
i smiled , looking over the pictures we had taken over the years.
Thunder looked up at me for a moment. "so? how did you get you cutie mark?"
Luna walked in, her hair tied up in a ponytail. she had her red glasses on. the same ones she wore on that day. "I'm so glad i have a sound proofing spell" she giggled.
i looked up at the moon. "it looks beautiful tonight by the way" i smiled.
