Me: Well, how's everyone doing?

Informant: Eh. I'm fine.

Wolverine: I'm wanting out of here.

Me: That's great guys, but I was talking to our beautiful audience. Especially that beautiful blonde over there.

Informant: You're right. She is kinda cute. I wonder if she's single.

Me: Well, if she is, I'd be the only one of the two of us with a chance to date her, since you are just an OC and are stuck in my head.

Wolverine: You two can't see them! So how do you even know there's a blonde reading this!? Let alone, a beautiful one!?

Me: Well, it's like this. DB can break the fourth wall. Avispa can't. That is like us with you. Just because one person can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. But, anyways, people, enjoy!

It had been one and a half weeks since DB had gotten sick when he woke up this morning. Since he had received word from Twilight that she and the others were going to be at a princess sumit for a few weeks(including travel time), he had to watch their homes. So, he decided not to make breakfast today. He simply went to take a shower. After the shower, he went downstairs to read a book until it was time to get Avispa up. He looked at the cover of the book and he promptly teleported to his room wih it, then back to the living room. "How did that even get down here? Oh well." He levitated another book out and sighed contentedly as he sat in a chair and began reading.

two hours later

DB and Avispa were walking slowly down the street as the town was in the middle of waking itself. Some businesses were open. One being the restaurant they frequently visited. They sat down at a table when the waiter came to them. "Hello DB and Avispa. What would you two like to have?"

"Coffee."

"Decaf."

"Right away."

The waiter left them to converse amongst themselves. Avispa started. "So, what exactly is the agenda for me after I finish with work?"

"You'll need to visit Rarity's and Rainbow's. Then, meet up with me at Sweet Apple Acres, where we'll begin bucking apple trees after we have lunch with the family."

Avispa nodded. "Alright."

The waiter came back with their drinks and asked, "What would you two like to eat?"

DB replied, "Get me some pancakes. Surprise me with the flavor."

The waiter nodded as he wrote it down. "And for you?"

"Eggs, toast and..Do you serve bacon?"

"Hay bacon."

Avispa shrugged. "Eh. Alright. I'll have a few strips of that, too."

"Of course. Will that be all?"

DB looked to Avispa, who nodded. DB then nodded as he looked back to the waiter and answered, "Yes, thank you." The waiter nodded and left. DB turned his attention back to Avispa. "So, how well are you learning the job?"

"Fine Grain has taught me how to make all but the most expensive cabinets. He is hesitant on teaching me those because they are made with the more expensive wood and one mistake would mean hundreds of bits down the drain."

"Well, I can see why he'd be hesitant on teaching you."

"Yeah. Well, what about you? What's been going on?"

DB thought for a second. "Well...Bon Bon gives me the stink eye every time I see her."

"Because of Lyra?"

"Most likely. I also recently talked with a mare who asked me out on a date. But, she was only wanting to be seen dating a stallion who has status. I told her I wasn't shallow enough to date her."

Avispa's eyes widened and asked, "How did she respond?"

DB opened his mouth to respond, but their meals were placed before them. "Thank you." He then turned back to Avispa and answered her question. "Her mouth hung open and she tried to say something but nothing came out, so I walked away. I heard her yell when I was almost out of earshot. Luckily I was around the corner, so I ducked into a nearby alleyway until she ran by."

"You seem to be able to anger any mare."

DB shrugged. "Many stallions do. It's just most are smart enough to not do it on purpose. Me, I do it mainly because it can be so fun to see them try to attack you, especially when you know you can escape, one way or another."

"So, you're saying you know what will anger a mare and purposely do those things?"

"Yep. But, with that mare I was talking about, that was just me telling the truth."

Avispa shrugged. "Well, as long as you know what you're doing."

"And I always do."

"So, what are some things you can say to make a mare angry?"

"Talking about her weight. Talking about the size of her flanks. Talking about the way they like to decorate places. Saying one mare is better looking than the one you're talking to. Saying you didn't notice something when another pony mentions it or they notice it after looking like that for most of the day. Then there are some things that are specific for different mares."

"Other than the saying one mare is better looking, I don't really see how any of those would make a mare angry. Maybe a little irritated, but otherwise, no."

DB shrugged. "Mares are a mysterious species. I'm kind of surprised you don't find any of those infuriating. But, it does make being around you easier. Makes me not have to watch what I say as much. But, it does make it harder to figure out what not to say."

"Just don't insult the Queen, aka, my mother."

"Gotcha. Anything else?"

Avispa thought for a few seconds. "Nothing comes to my mind."

"Alright. Makes it mainly trial and error. Great. Means I'll probably be getting you angry fairly often."

"Eh. I'll give you a one time free pass for anything you find that angers me."

DB chuckled. "Only female that would."

"Guess I'm not your average female."

"Most definently." DB looked down and noticed he had finished his meal. He looked back up and said, "Well, I'll be heading to the library."

"Alright. I'll see you around noon."

"See ya." DB then trotted off to the library. DB then looked to me for some reason. "I'm looking at you to tell you that you should try to throw in another Avatar: the Last Airbender reference." How so? "Remember when they were in the desert and Sokka wanted to go to Wan Shi Tong's library?" You want me to use bold and italics to make it as much like that as possible. "Yes please." Fine..Ahem.. DB then trotted off...to the library! "Thank you." You're welcome. Also, Informant says hi. "Hi Informant!" Good, now, we need to continue the story.

Library, one hour later

DB had begun cleaning when he entered and just finished when the CMC came in. He smiled and said, "Hello. What are you three doing here?"

"We're here to see what we haven't tried for getting our cutie marks!"

"Which is boring."

DB smiled slightly. "Alright. Hold on a sec. I think I know just the books." DB began scanning the titles to find some. "Ah! Here they are." He levitated them down. "These are safe, when taking proper precaution, and I find rather fun."

Sweetie read the first title, "Metal-Working Made Easy?"

"Pssh. Boring."

The next, "Wood Working Made Easy"

"More boring."

DB sighed. "Scootaloo. How can you know something will be boring if you've never tried it before? I once thought that reading was boring. Now, I do it once in a while to pass the time. When you find a good book, you can easily be absorbed. Besides, if you find one of these that you like to do, it could be your special talent and then, if you're good enough, you could be making lots of money from it."

"But none of them are awesome!"

DB smirked. "You really think so?"

"Yeah."

"What if I were to prove you wrong?"

"How would you do that?"

DB smirked. "I'll be right back." He teleported out, then a few seconds later, teleported back. "Okay. I'm going to go into the basement and I'll make something out of metal, then you tell me if it can't be awesome." He teleported out again.

half an hour later

DB teleported back upstairs, the CMC having looked through several other books to pass the time. DB quickly reshelved all of them. "Okay. Let me just show you that metal working can be made awesome. Please step outside." They all stepped outside and their jaws dropped at the sight of a metal sculpture. "While the specific name is 'Metal Scultping', it still falls under metal working."

Scootaloo shook off her shock and said, "How were you able to make it look exactly like Rainbow Dash!?"

DB shrugged. "She's a friend. But, here's what I see as the most amazing part." He pressed a button and the part that looked like Rainbow tilted upwards before blasting off and exploding like a giant firework. "Ta da!"

"We're gonna do metal working!"

DB teleported ear muffs onto his ears just before they yelled out, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS METAL WORKERS, YAY!"

DB grabbed all of them before they ran off and levitated the books to them. "Now remember, take all the safety precautions in the book on metal working. And don't forget to try the others." They carried the books off and he sighed. "At least I won't be at fault if they don't follow the safety guidlines. Besides, if Big Mac finds out what they're planning he'll tell them nope." He walked back in, but not before teleporting the peice of metal still left.

Canterlot

Discord was sitting in the spot he had been when he was trapped in stone. "It feels so good to be out." His thoughts were soon changed when a giant piece of metal appeared over him and fell on top of him.

with DB, 11:30

DB walked out of the library and put up the "Closed" sign. He walked towards the outskirts of town, where Fluttershy's cottage was at. He walked past all the animals chittering at him excitedly. He gave them all small greetings as he passed them. He eventually came to where the food was and began feeding the animals, feeding Angel last. "So, how are things going around here?" Angel shrugged as he ate. "Animals getting along okay? Keeping the place clean?" Angel nodded. "Well, good. I'll be back tomorrow around the same time unless something holds me up." Angel waved nonchalantly as DB left. DB then headed to Sweet Apple Acres, meeting Avispa at the entrance. "Waiting for me?"

"Well, yeah. You didn't expect me to just go in there for food and have you be waiting on me when I'm already there."

"Hm. You've got a point. Keeps you from waiting even longer." They both smiled a little as they conversed to the farm house, without a care in the world.

two and a half hours later

The two of them were working in the east field. They were each going at a steady pace, mainly so they would both be able to walk out of there. "So, do you have any idea what happens at a princess sumit?"

"Well, they have some sort of meal, talk a little about personal lives then they get to business, where they talk about the condition of the country, what they should plan on doing for the next year, relations with other countries, strength of the guard, and any fugitives that have been found. I'd say you will probably be a topic of this sumit, as Twilight has been close by and you were part of the invasion." DB looked up at Avispa, who was rather surprised. "What?"

"I did not expect you to know that. I figured it would be more vague. How did you know?"

DB took in a breath and replied, "I'd rather not answer that, as it deals with my former life."

"Okay." Avispa shrugged as she lined herself up and gave a kick. "But, if you ever wish to talk about it, I'll lend my ear."

DB smiled. "Thank you." Avispa smiled back as they both continued their work.

that evening

DB and Avispa were at home, sharing funny stories. DB was currently telling his through laughs. "S-so then, the waiter came back out with a new bowl of noodles, this time he makes it to the table before he slips and the noodles landed on the Prime Minister."

Avispa's eyes widened. "What happened?"

"Well, the Prime Minister was angry and I could tell he was going to either order the waiter fired or killed, so I thought quickly and grabbed my plate before yelling, 'Food fight!' and I threw it straight at the Prime Minister, hitting him square in the face. I then threw a plate of food from a cart in another direction and soon, everyone was throwing food and I was able to sneak the waiter out while the Prime Minister tried to get out. The waiter is also the griffon tht owed me the favor."

"So, what ended up happening?"

"Well, I stayed a few days to see what happened and all that happened was the Prime Minister wanted me to pay for ruining his suit. He no longer cared about the waiter. Okay, your turn."

Avispa thought for a few seconds before a smile came to her face. "Well, me and some others were infiltrating Las Pegasus. And we went to a cafe. One of my brothers, being the idiot he was, ordered a regular coffee. He drank two cups. He was trying t order a third, but he was speaking too fast for anypony to understand. Even his voice on the Hive mind was too fast. He then ran out of the cafe like a foal on a sugar rush. He went into a bar. We followed and found him dancing on a pool table."

"Like you did in Prance."

"Yeah, except he was moving much faster and to some actual music. We tried to get him off, but he was moving too quickly. He then ran out and lost us in the crowd. We found him again at a casino. He was playing five different games at once and winning big. The bouncer or whatever eventually came to him and using his magic, caught him, telling him that he had to choose one. Well, my brother had worn off enough of the coffee to be understood and said, 'Well, if that's what you wanted you shoulld have asked,' and then he kissed the stallion on the lips. He was disguised as a mare at the time. But, you should have seen the look on the stallion's face."

"How did 'play only one game at a time' translate to, 'give me a kiss'?"

"I have no idea. But, we went over and I said, 'I am so sorry, but she's been drinking a little too much. We'll take her to her room.' The stallion agreed and through us keeping a strong hold on him, we were able to get him to his room and keep him there. Needless to say, though, we didn't get much sleep until he crashed."

DB chuckled and said, "Well, just remind me never to give you coffee. I don't think this town could handle two Pinkies."

"No. No place could."

"Well, we should get some sleep. We've got work to do tomorrow."

"Alright. Night."

"Night." DB teleported to his room, while Avispa flew to hers.

Me: And, we'll have the mane six return next chapter.

Informant: Why do you always have things corresponding to chapters only last one chapter?

Me: Well, no need to drag it out. And, after the next chapter, we will see bigger skips in time.

Wolverine: So I'll get out quicker?

Me: Um, no. But, to be able to have the Christmas special have a place in here where it fits, we'll need to. Especially since we're going to have the Summer Sun Celebration. So, we'll show a few episodes, go through fall and winter, enter spring with a few more episodes, then end it. That's the plan for now, at least. So, yeah.

Informant: It is subject to change.

Me: Though, I doubt it since most of my plans haven't changed. Well, review.
