The Others
Chapter 1
Well, it was one of those days as the sun breached the horizon in Pony Ville, one of those days you know is either gonna be really good or really bad.
Kahl, a male dark blue pony rolled lazily out of his bed and looked out the window.
He drew a sigh as he glanced at the clock, 6:30am. He usually isn't awake until 10am.
"Oh god, this looks like a Glorious day" he muttered sarcastically to himself as he brushed down his messy black mane with his front hoof.
He didn't really feel like eating this morning, then again, he never did after waking up.
He looked around his messy bedroom and thought about cleaning it.
"Well, I DO have a few hours to kill right now..." he picked up a broom and shoved everything to the side or under his bed.
"There, nice 'n' tidy" he said half-hearted to himself.
He stretched his legs and back a bit and walked into his living room.
He climbed up on the sofa and looked out the window behind it.
He saw Twilight walking along, out early as usual.
"Oh great, they're up to somethin' again..."
He turned around and sat on the sofa.
It always seemed to Kahl that those ponies were up to something.
Ever since she arrived stuff has been happening, and most of it was bad.
It's not that he didn't like her, it's just he didn't like things to get too out of the ordinary, and stuff often did when those lot were involved.
And whenever something did go wrong, they seem to always be at the heart of it, and they always seem to play some role in stopping the incident.
He thought they got too much attention and glory, no one ever paid attention to the good the other ponies around here did.
He sat there thinking idle thoughts for a while, since his mind wanders easily, when his eye caught the clock again
7:15am
He hopped up off the sofa, "well, Dara's usually awake by now, better see if he's comin' out"
He headed out the door, locking it and placing the key under his "Welcome" mat.
He knew it was a terribly hiding place, but he always checked to see is no one was looking before putting the key under there.
Walking out into the cold morning air was like running into a wall for Kahl.
He absolutely hated the cold, and always trying to keep the house warm all day every day didn't exactly help him get used to it.
"Fuckin' cold..." he whispered to himself.
He twitched his nose and shivered a bit, but kept walking none the less.
After a few minutes he reached Dara's house.
Dara was his younger cousin, they got along really well.
He reached his doorstep and knocked his hoof on it.
A bright yellow pony with a bright green mane answered the door.
"Yeah? Oh hi Kahl!" He smiled and looked at the taller dark blue Pony.
"Hey Dara." He replied.
Dara gave him a funny look, "Wait, why are you up so early? Something wrong?"
"What? No! Jus' woke up early is all!"
"Uhhh...sure...what'd you come over here for anyway?"
"Dunno, I usually wake up later, when there's stuff to do, but there isn't right now, jus' wonderin' do ya want to take a walk around or somethin', see if the other lads are up?"
Dara thought about it for a second.
"Ok, why not"
And he stepped out of the doorway, closing it behind him.
Dara felt the breeze flow past his face "Damn its cold today!"
"It's nearly winter now, wha' do ya expect?"
"I suppose."
They walked further down the road, Kahl stopped in front of a house.
"Hey Dara, we gonna call in for Shane?"
"Go on then, see if he's up."
Kahl walked up to the door, then banging it on loudly
"SHAAAAAAAANE! YOU UP?"
He waited a few seconds, getting no reply.
"SHAAANE YOU LAZY LUMP GET OUTA BED!" He started kicking the door again.
Just then, the door swung open, revealing a light grey, unhappy Pony with a messed up dark brown mane and sleepy eyes.
"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU WANT?" He yelled at Kahl.
"Hi Shane!" Said Kahl with a wide grin across his face, seemingly oblivious to Shane's anger.
"Christ Kahl, what's the deal with you two trying to knock down my fucking door at this hour of the morning?" Shane glared at the pair of them.
"Keep your hooves on Shane, we're jus' seein' if your comin' out is all."
Shane was Kahl's friend since Kahl arrived here when he was little.
Kahl loved winding Shane up like this, since he over reacts to pranks and jokes and such.
They knew it annoyed him a lot, and Shane knew they were only having a laugh. After most stuff they'd be friends again in 10 minutes, if not less.
Shane let out a heavy sigh.
"Fine Kahl, I'll be out in a sec."
With that, Shane went back inside, closing the door on Kahl.
After a few minutes he emerged from the house once again, with a fixed mane and cleaned up coat.
He walked over to the two.
"Right so lads," Kahl looked at both of them.
"Where to today?"
They stood there for a while, thinking of what to do.
Dara hung his head a bit.
"Can't think of anything, it's so boring around here."
Shane smiled "Hey Kahl, remember that time we got really annoyed with the girls, so we tried to run them out of town?"
Kahl laughed a bit, "Yeah! Oh god that was funny!"
Dara was confused "Wait, how did you try run the girls out of town?"
Kahl smiled "oh yeah you were like, sick that day or somethin', with the flu or whatever."
"What happened tho?"
"Well, remember that dragon that made all the clouds of smoke an' stuff a while ago?"
"Yeah, I heard Twilight and Rainbow dash and all them got rid of it."
"Yeah well, we put it there"
Dara looked shocked.
"How the hell did you manage that?"
"Well, ya' see Dara..."
One day, me, Shane, Keane an' Bernard where down at the lake.
We were jus' messin' around, talkin' about stuff, ya know, the usual.
An' Keane was bull shittin' on how he could catch a fish with his own 2 hooves.
We all laughed at him, but then he said he'd do it.
So off he went, out on a boat by himself.
It actually looked really stupid 'cus he was leanin' over the edge the whole time.
He dug his hooves into the water a few times, but never caught anythin'.
After a while we called him back, sayin' he couldn't do it. But he stayed out there.
Sooner or later, them lot came along.
Well, it wasn't the lot of them, jus' Pinky and Rainbow Dash.
And the fuckin' bitch flew out and knocked the boat over and they all started laughin' at Keane.
An' needless to say Keane was pissed, as soon as he swam back he started chasin' them, but they got away.
And then Shane here went mad and flipped and he was all like.
UUUGH HOW COULD THEY DO THAT WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THEM OH MY GOD!
"Kahl that's stupid I don't even sound like that."
"Look, who's tellin' the story here?"
Anyway, and Shane went mad.
We were all mad tho.
And then Shane said we should run them out of town.
So what we did was, we went into the forest, the lot of us, went lookin' for a dragon.
Now that I think about it, it sounds like a really stupid thing to do, but we did it anyway, we were mad, we wanted to get back at them and we weren't thinkin' straight.
We looked out there for about 2 hours, well, more like walked in a straight line for 2 hours, then we saw all these dark clouds and we thought it was goin' to rain.
So we asked Bernard to go up there and knock the clouds away, since he's a Pegasus and all.
It took us a while but we got him to go up there and knock them away, but he came back down and told us they weren't clouds, they were made of smoke.
So we followed the smoke till we found this cave at the foot of a mountain.
At that moment it dawned on us where we were, at the entrance of a cave where a dragon was sleepin'.
No one wanted to go in, there was a lot of YOU GO IN, NAH YOU GO IN, NO YOU! NO YOU SHOULD GO IN EVERYONE HATES YOU ANYWAY.
But then Bernard jus' walked in, the crazy bastard.
And he was like.
HERE, DRAGON FELLA.
And we were all a bit behind him but we could see.
And the dragon opened his eyes and looked at him and he didn't look happy at all.
YE, THIS IS AN 'OL SHITTY CAVE YOU GOT YOURSELF HERE ISN'T IT?
It was like he was tryin' to make him mad, and it was workin'!
And the dragon was like, who the fuck asked you, you little shit.
And the dragon had a fair deep voice, must've been like a thousand years old or somethin'.
Then Bernard was like, I KNOW A BETTER PLACE, THERE TREASURE IN IT AND ALL.
And the dragon looked interested.
And Bernard told him the cave was really big and roomy and all the gold and diamonds left in there from the miners up there.
But when he told him it was high up that pretty much sealed the deal because apparently the dragon loved views and stuff.
So we told him where it was and he went there, and he even thanked us.
"Pfft, no way Kahl you're pulling my hoof with this one!" said Dara, interrupting Kahl.
"No! I swear to god on me life I'm tellin' the truth, aren't I Shane?"
Shane nodded, confirming Kahl's story.
"You better not be lying." Dara still wasn't convinced.
"Fine then!" Kahl and Shane started walking.
"W-wait!" Dara quickly caught up with them, "Where are you going?"
"Well, ya don't believe me, I'm goin' to call in for the lads, they'll back me up!"
Dara chuckled, "Can't wait to see this"
"Hey, I'm not the bull shitter, if you're lookin' for one of them, go to Keane!"
The 3 of them started laughing as they continued down the road to their other friend's house.
As they were walking, they spotted a crimson pony half way up the trunk of a tree.
Shane shook his head, "well well, speaking of Keane..."
The three of them ran the length of the path over to the pony.
Keane was trying to climb a tree, but was failing to do so, "C'mere you little shit!"
A squirrel sitting in the tree was making faces at Keane, taunting him.
"Well Keane, pickin' fights with squirrels now are we?"
"This little shit was fucking acorns at me!"
The three of them laughed a bit.
"It's not fucking funny! It hurts like hell!" he felt a sore spot through his black mane.
Shane stepped up and pulled Keane off the tree, he had attracted quite a few confused stares by now.
Shane turned him so they were face to face, "Calm Down!"
"Says the pony who blows his top over everything!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Dara intervened, splitting the two up before the situation escalated.
"Look, it's just a squirrel Keane, and that squirrel is always throwing stuff at every pony just to get a reaction, ignore it and it'll go away."
Keane took a deep breath in and out. "Fine, why you guys here anyway Dara?"
"Well Kahl was telling us this story about how you got pushed into the water by Rainbow Dash and you guys went and got a dragon and-"
"OH YEAH! Oh my god that was hilarious! We were fair stupid back then."
Kahl thought about what Keane had just said, "Wasn't that jus' last year tho?"
Keane went silent for a bit, "...so?"
Dara was surprised, "so it really did happen then?"
Kahl had that "I told you so" attitude about him now, "Of course it is Dara! You should believe your older cousin when he tells you these things! You know I wouldn't cod you this much," he turned and looked at Keane, "unlike somepony!"
They all looked at Keane.
"Shut up Kahl! Saying I'm a bull shitter is like saying you're not a bogger!"
Kahl was born on an island off the coast of Manechester, even tho he moved to Pony Ville at a young age, he still kept his accent. And Bogger was a very loose term for people with his accent, since the island is about half bog land.
"Shut your mouth Keane, at least I didn't get beat by a squirrel!" Kahl had a point there.
Keane looked to be getting angrier, "Kahl shut your face before I knock the head off you!"
Kahl smirked and chuckled to himself "I'd love to see ya try! Then we'll finally find out if you've got any bite to your bark!"
"What's all the fighting about?" a light brown Pegasus had landed behind the group.
Kahl turned and looked at him, his face lit up, "Bernard! How are ya?"
Bernard folded away his wings and smiled back at him, "I'm fine Kahl, but what's all this? I could hear you while I was flying above."
"Ahh, it's nothin' lad, Keane's jus' actin' up again."
Bernard nodded, understanding the situation quickly.
"Bernard?" Dara cut in to the conversation.
"What Dara?"
"Did you really go into that dragons cave and get him to go away?"
"Yeah! It was one of the stupidest things I've ever done, I was scared as hell half the time and...wait how'd you find out?"
Dara made a gesture with his head in Kahl's direction.
Bernard shook his head, "I knew you couldn't keep your mouth shut Kahl!"
"Oh come on! It was like a year ago and he's my cousin! Besides, Shane brought it up! Blame him!"
Everypony glared at Shane.
"HEY! SHUT UP IT WASN'T MY FAULT KAHL! YOU FUCK!"
Everypony laughed at Shane.
Kahl walked over to him "now Shane, you know we're only messin'!"
Shane sighed and cracked a smile "yeah..."
"Yeah but, how'd them lot get sent to clear the dragon out? Celestia could've sent anyone." Asked Dara.
"Ah, that's a good question! You see, what happened was..."
As the dragon was flying back, we ran as fast as we could back to Pony Ville.
And we didn't know what to do next, because we didn't think we'd get this far.
But then Bernard said he had an idea, so he took off.
He flew to the library and went in there, Twilight wasn't in, but spike was.
He guessed that spike could send letters to the princess since Twilight was her bitch or whatever you'd call it.
So he made him write a letter to Celestia saying that there was a dragon sleeping in the cave, and that it was a good idea if them lot went after it to help with bondin' and trust and shit.
Soon as it was sent the clouds of smoke started hangin' over Pony Ville, and all them where gone after it up the mountain.
Needless to say we were both shocked and happy.
First off, we were happy our plan worked, second, we were surprised because, well, our plan worked!
We expected them to fail at least or even get hurt or somethin' but they came back and the dragon was gone and Everypony was praising them and shit.
"So it backfired pretty bad on you guys."
The four of them nodded.
The clouds above them cast a shadow where they were standing.
Bernard looked up, "looks like rain guys, better head back!"
Keane looked at him, "Why don't you just go up there and clear the clouds?"
"Hey, it's not my job is it? That blue one is supposed to keep the sky clear not me so feck off."
Bernard was often asked to get rid of clouds when Rainbow Dash wasn't around to do so. He hated the idea of filling in for somepony who gets so much praise yet no punishment for not doing her job properly, even if she could do it in 10 seconds.
He also hated the fact that just because he had wings that people automatically he can clear clouds as fast as she can and as well as she can.
And plus, he wasn't very good at moving clouds anyway.
The rain started to pour down, but as it did, the group noticed they weren't getting wet.
Shane looked around, noticing the sun was shining on a small patch they were standing on, "what the hell?" he looked up to see the bright blue Pegasus pony looking through a hole down at them.
"Sorry, I thought everyone was already gone inside so I started the rain, but I saw you guys and I just made a hole here so you wouldn't get wet."
Keane glared at her.
Rainbow Dash caught his glare, "don't I uh, know you from some place?"
"YOU FUCKING SHOULD!"
Rainbow Dash as surprised at his hostile behaviour towards her, "Whoa there, what' wrong with you?"
Keane growled angrily up at her.
Kahl saw that Keane was going to explode at her, she obviously didn't remember the incident last year.
"Umm," Kahl stepped in front of Keane, "Excuse my friend he's just had a bad day-"
"BAD DAY? SHUT YOUR FUCKING-"
"Yeah Keane we know, anyway, thanks for sheltering us from the rain, much appreciated."
"No problem! Where do you guys live?"
"Oh," he nodded towards the road they walked down, "we all live on that street"
As soon as he said that, she took off, tearing a path in the clouds so the road was clear of the rainfall.
As soon as she had stared, she was finished and back at the hole. "There" she smiled.
Kahl looked down the road, surprised at the speed and hospitality.
"Wow, thanks a lot!"
"Nah don't mention it, just doing my job."
And with that she took off again.
Kahl looked at the others, they looked at each other.
"Well...see you later then." Keane Started down the path.
"Yeah, see you." Shane followed.
Soon they were all walking except Kahl who stayed there, still thinking why she'd do that out of the blue.
"Kahl! You coming or what?" Dara shouted back at him.
"Uhh, yeah!" He ran over and caught up with them.

Authors Notes:
So, I guess it's safe for you guys to assume I'm NOT dead ^-^
And you can thank my asthmatic chest infection AND my internet being out for the next week for this new story. I can't go to school or go online while I'm at home. FUCKING BORING!
I don't think I'm going to be updating Impossible for a while, gone off the Pokémon\South park thing entirely.
This is going to be my main fic for a while, a lot more to work on since it primarily depends on OC's, and OC's are more flexible to work with, rather than working off personalities already set by someone else.
Anyway, BIG first chapter, wanted to get across a few things, and plus I felt I owed you after practically abandoning this site suddenly.
I guess you could call this a self insertion fic, my personality and a few of my friends have been put in here.
And by the way, the island off the coast of Manechester is Ireland, I just couldn't find a name with a Pony related pun that could fit it :/
So yeah, any ideas, comments ECT. Make sure to leave a review. No flamers please, constructive criticism welcome.
Happy trails to you, until we meet again~
