Split Spirit
Chapter 4: Settling In
Cogs began to click in to place in his mind. After a further analysis of the room, memories placed in to his brain by Celestia began to bring themselves to the fore.
As far as he knew, memory retrieval was a rather annoying subject. Well, that's what it felt like to him anyways. It was like going in to a large library, and not being given a single clue to where each section was.
Eventually, after staring at the lavish décor of the room for a while, his fractured mind brought up the fact that this room most likely belonged to the successful fashion designer, Rarity.
"Better get a move on then" he grumbled to himself and went to climb out of the extremely comfortable bed.
"Must be a goose feather bed if its that comfy" He chuckled as he finally managed to get himself up. ( Note: Geese are cool, deal with it *puts on shades*)
Looking down at himself, he was slightly worried, but slightly happy that he was fully clothed. On his legs, were some simple darkish brown trousers, with slight embroidery up the stitching. On his upper body, he wore a shirt, which had small patches for his newfound wings to go though.
"Oh yeah, these things" Feargus spoke aloud, giving his wings a little experimental flap. To him, the wings felt quite muscular, as he was about to open the door, he saw a mirror in the corner of the room, and he couldn't resist the urge to take a peek at himself, with his new additions.
He opened the curtains to bring in some light, but it still seemed dark outside. Feargus then walked back to the mirror, to attempt to take a look in what light the windows being opened had actually brought in.
As he admired himself, he heard some voices.
" Looking rather dapper there boss, if I wouldn't say so myself." His shadow-self chuckled in his mind.
"I cant help but agree with shadow there, it's a rather good look" the light voice of angel echoed in his mind.
"Gee, being complimented by the voices in my head, you guys are not figments of my imagination, right?" Feargus joked. He was actually starting to grow fond of these voices.
"C'mon boss, lets go see where this Rarity pony is at." Shadow reminded the human, who was still vainly looking at himself in the mirror.
"Thanks for that, wouldn't want to drown in my own vanity" Feargus scoffed at himself, and proceeded to move away from the mirror, and out through the rooms door.
He walked out of what was, he guessed, the guest room, and right in to what would seem to be Rarity's main workspace. Dresses, in various stages of completion , were scattered around the rather large ,luxurious workspace.
Rarity actually spotted him first.
"Its good to see you walking about, how are you feeling?" Rarity asked, walking over to him, pleasantly surprised.
"Thanks, im feeling pretty good actually" Feargus responded, a slight smile gracing his features.
"One question though."
"Yes dear?"
"How'd I end up here?"
"Well, after you fell unconscious, you ended up going in to thrashing fits, and we didn't know if you were awake or not"
"After your fits stopped, we simply placed you back in to the M.S.U and waited. The princesses eventually left, because they had business to attend to."
"Makes sense I suppose, considering they are the princesses and all" He smiled. "Continue please?
"Um, right." Rarity began to look worried.
"Well, what happened after we put you back in , you stayed fine for a hour, and then you kind of….. Broke the M.S.U." Rarity stated.
"Wait, what? I broke it? How?" Feargus yelled , startled.
"Don't yell , Sweetie Belle is asleep!" Rarity scolded.
Again, memories clicked in to space, giving him all the information he need to know.
"Oh, sorry" Feargus lowered his voice. "So I broke it? And who paid for it? And how did I get here?"
"I was getting to that." Rarity smiled "Twilight wrote a letter to the princesses, and they sent enough bits our way to pay for the damages."
Rarity stopped for a second, levitated a needle and thread with her magic, threaded the needle and then began to work on one of the items of clothing in her workspace, and then continued to speak, while stitching.
"Also, the princesses recommended getting you out of the hospital to avoid further damage, so I offered to give you my spare room."
"Oh that is very generous of you, thanks." Feargus smiled, warmed by the fact that some pony he didn't know took him in to her house, and gave him a bed to sleep in.
"Oh its fine, I am the element of generosity after all." Rarity finished off her stitching.
"No seriously Rarity, thanks." he gave the pony a smile. "And considering how dark it is, I think its time you get some sleep."
"Im not ti-" The yawn halfway through her sentence gave her away.
"See, you are tired! C'mon Rarity, you should get some sleep. If you need to work on these outfits, you can do so in the morning."
"Yeah, you are right. See you in the morning Feargus." Rarity smiled and began to walk off.
"Hey, Rarity." Feargus raised his voice the tiniest bit. She turned around.
" My friends can call me Fearg." She smiled.
"Alright then, Fearg, goodnight." she said, putting extra emphasis on the 'Fearg', and then walked out of the room, probably either in to a hallway with stairs, or her room he guessed.
"Very smooth boss, hitting on a pony" Shadow teased him
"I wasn't hitting on her!" he replied with his thoughts.
"Course you weren't" the light voice of the angel rang out in his mind, voice dripping with sarcasm,
"Oh great, your in on this too?" Feargus scowled. "Screw you guys Im going to sleep." Feargus walked back in to his room, and soon as he put his head on the pillow, he found himself drifting off.
Next Morning
"Hey, mister" a young voice girls voice became clear. Feargus turned over and vaguely mumbled "Five more minutes"
"GET UP NOW MISTER" the young voice yelled this time, shocking Feargus in to a involuntary, powerful twitch of his wings, which lead him to smack in to the ceiling, and then fall back down on to the bed, fully awake this time.
"Smooth boss" Shadow commented.
"Shut up, im not a morning person." Feargus grumbled and stood up.
"Um, hi there, you must be Sweetie Belle. " Feargus smiled awkwardly at the young filly. She smiled back up at him, full of energy.
" Follow me, its time for breakfast!" She yelled, excitedly
" Got any tea?"
I was going to try to make this chapter a lot longer, but other things popped up sadly. Also, am going away for a week for to go skiing, so if you have any ideas, review or message me.
Forgive any mistakes I have made in this one.
See you all later!
