"Note that after this, I'm going to be taking another break to finish some more stuff." Let me rephrase that: after THIS, I'll be taking a break because…
ARSENAL (PT.1)
Graduation for me and many other seniors has finally past! And so far, summer has been kind for everyone. I got to hang out with Garrett, Jewel, and the Equestria Girls, plus other familiar OC friends at the graduation party. Of course, it was mainly for every OC.
Once it was over, my friends and I got to do our thing through the whole night. I was planning on going to the island's Universal Megaverse Resort with Rainbow Dash, while also inviting Nico, Pedro, and Manic. But that changed when Rarity tempted me into spending our money to try out one of the hotel spas in our macaw forms. Though it was good. I made Rarity happy by bring her to one of her favorite places and I had a nice time to relax and feel more relieved that summer was here for everybody.
Of course, the time at the spa was so good that when I left, I layed on a hammock near one of the pools and…fell asleep. I slept on that thing all night and it seemed no one was around to notice. Then when it was morning, things got a little more interesting for me and my friends.
It was a cloudy yet bright day, I was still resting on the hammock. But then when I nearly woke up, I heard some chattering and giggles. So I opened one of my eyes and noticed Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Rarity (still in their macaw form while I was in mine too) walking by the gate of the pool. I couldn't hear them but just kept my eye shut until they got closer and I heard Rainbow Dash whisper, "Hey guys. Look." I had a feeling that she was pointing to me, and I was right when Rarity responded, "Aw, how cute. He must dozed off here after the spa last night." "Huh. Normally it would be something sports playing that would tire you out. I never imagined it would be the opposite. Hehe." Fluttershy giggled along and said, "You think we should wake him up?" "No wait. I got a better idea: let's push him off the hammock and he'll wake up after landing in the dirt pile." Dash laughed, but Rarity protested to that.
"(Gasp)…What? Rainbow Dash, don't you dare even think about it."
"Why? He's not gonna hurt. The dirt pile is soft and the hammock isn't even 8ft off the ground."
"Yes, it doesn't feel right to-"
"Come on. It may not feel good to you now but trust me when I say it's going to be funny."
"No." The girls jumped when they heard a small voice. They looked and saw that it was me. I was pretending to talk in my sleep. "No, no. Thanks for inviting me to the science fair, Twilight, but I have plans already with Sunset." By saying that, the girls gasped and began to chuckle a little. So they leaned in closer to listen. "I-I-I'm actually going on a date with her. Though if anything, you can blame Rarity for that. We were at the spa last night and suddenly the idea of me and Sunset together crossed her head. So she kept begging me to ask her out on at least one date. And like Fluttershy, she's a girl who's too nice to say no to." The two just giggled more and I think Dash had that "What am I, chopped liver?" look on her face. They listened more, "Did she actually yes? The answer to that question actually is yes. All I did was just ask her and she didn't seem hesitant about it. Maybe she thought it would've been a good way for us to hang out as friends. She said yes and I was proud of myself for being brave like that until we discussed where to meet. What am I expecting? Well, we're planning on meeting at a nice restaurant and just eat and talk about our time. I think it'll be good, and once it's done I can drive her to the hotel before I make it back to my place at Paradise Island. So yeah, nothing romantic or anything just a good friends night out."
Rarity thought that was cute. "Aw. Poor thing, I don't think we should wake him up in the middle of this."
Fluttershy, "I agree. One thing I'm wondering about now is the idea if Sunset and C could catch on."
Dash, "Hmm. Well while you are thinking on that, I'm still going to wake him up."
"Oi, Rainbow Dash." The others were annoyed but didn't look like they were going to stop her. "Come on, girls. Trust me when I say that this is going to be golden." She got a tight grip on the hammock. Focusing on the trick, Rarity and Fluttershy saw me looking at them with one eye open and a sinister smile before winking at them. They were surprised but quickly knew what trick I had in mind.
Dash announced, "Houston, we're about to perform our next launch. Counting down in…5, 4, 3, 2…" She was ready to push me until, I jumped and yelled "ONE!" I sounded like Tuffnut, and it scared Dash just enough to scream, step back, and fall into the pool. I laughed out loud and the girls tried their best to hold back their laughter while helping Dash get out. She was soaking wet and walked up to me. "Aw, man. You know a prank isn't fun anymore when someone expects." "Says the girl who wanted to push me off the hammock and see me land in a pile of dirt." "Right." I got off the hammock and walked to the pool to rest my feet in it. Then Dash asked "How did you even wake up?" "I heard you guys coming out of the hotel and none of you are really that quiet of whisperers." "Okay. That whole talking in your sleep thing?" "That was just something I did to make you guys laugh and keep you distracted. I don't really talk in my sleep." "Oh really?" "Yep." Rainbow gave me a sly smile next. "Then what was up with that story about you asking Sunset out." "Well I am a story creator. So what better story could make you gals chuckle than a tale about a guy asking a girl he likes out on a date." I froze seeing how I made a huge poor choice of words.
"Oh my gosh." Rainbow Dash chuckled.
"Oh my." Fluttershy almost made the same reaction.
"L-L-Let me rephrase that." I stepped out of the pool, wanting to walk away from the girls. But Rarity caught me by the shoulders, and then she massaged them to my surprise. "Oh darling, as Sunset told you before, having feelings like that is nothing to be embarrassed about. You're a boy and you care about her, don't you?" "Yeah." "Then that's good." "Yes, if you guys promise not to tease me like you did with Twilight and Flash." "That was because she wasn't as sensitive you are." Rainbow Dash said that, and Rarity (with anger) used what magic she had in her bird form to softly hit her on the head with one of the hotel magazines. She then said, "It's nothing to worry about. In fact…" To the next surprise, Rarity kissed my left cheek, trying to make me feel more at ease. After five seconds she still continued when I thought she would've been done by now. Then after five more, she stopped and said, "(giggling) Sorry I just thought giving you a longer one would help you feel more relaxed." "Okay. Thanks, that actually kind of helped." "No problem." For some reason though she continued massaging my shoulders. Things around us then seemed silent and enjoyable. Rainbow Dash quit being the funny girl and just sat near the pool, chillaxing a little, and so did Fluttershy.
A few whole minutes of peace and quiet, and there was nothing bothering us. Until Fluttershy's phone rang. "Excuse me, C. I think our question of the day just came in."
"Oh really? Okay. Do you want to read it, Fluttershy?"
"I'd like to. Okay let's see…"
Fluttershy: Ah. Alexriolover95 sends our question, and it seems it's are only question for now. Okay, it says…(blushing so massively and gulps while shaking and smiling)…he asks…
Alexriolover95: Besides Sunset, who are your other waifus?
CR34T0R: (blushing the same way, then lay my back on the ground) Oh boy. Okay Alex. So you want to know more, huh? If you want to know who my other wai…I mean, what other female characters are there that I find kind and appealing, then I'll give you four of them. But girls, since you're here now please don't be upset if I don't include you.
Rarity, Fluttershy, and Dash: (giggling)
CR34T0R: Okay, there's…
• Asuna Yuuki, the beautiful warrior from the anime series Sword Art Online.
• Amy Rose, the young pink hedgehog from all of the Sonic Hedgehog stories.
• Sally Acorn, the chipmunk princess of the Knothole Kingdom who is also the real love interest to Sonic the Hedgehog.
And finally…(Alex, I know you're going to like this).
• Luna, the princess of the night from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Those are four of the girls that I would consider as my…(gulp)…waifus.
"Aww…" Fluttershy made a friendly chuckle, which only made me blush more. Rarity placed her wing on my shoulder with a flirting smile, and Dash rolled her eyes with a smile. I knew the idea of me dating a fictional girl wasn't possible or even likely but, like everybody, I had friends (real and fictional) that understood me, even if they were teasing me.
So we spent the next half hour by the pool relaxing more, and surprising throughout that whole no one around. Not a single OC, Garrett, Jewel, the rest of the Equestria Girls, or even the rest of Garrett's Gang, who came to the party later last night.
"Does it kind of weird anybody out that it's been too quiet lately?" Asked Dash.
Fluttershy, "Yes, now that you mentioned it. Normally a girl like me would be used to this kind of silence but something does seem weird all of sudden."
I got out of the bench I was sitting on and walked to the gate. Dash was right. Heck, I couldn't see anyone beyond the gate or the hotel. There was no one around for miles. "Whoa. Guys, do you think maybe-?" Before I could finish, Rainbow Dash caught her phone ringing. "Hang on a second, C. It's a call from Twilight." When she answered the ring, me, Fluttershy, and Rarity came up to her so we could listen. Which was when she decided to put the call on speaker.
"Hey Twi, what's up?"
"Rainbow Dash, oh thank goodness. Where are you? Are some of the others with you too?"
"Me, Rarity, Fluttershy, and C are together at the pool near one of the hotels in the borders of, I think, the modern zone of the Mobotopia Section. Why?"
"Oi, you didn't hear? Sunset and I are at refuge center trying to help a few OC groups that got hurt last night. They say-" We couldn't hear what Twilight said next, because what happened was really unexpected. Out of nowhere, a large purple beacon of light blasted from the ground exactly one block away and into the sky, scaring the four of us. It was massive and bright enough to have us stare at it. As that happened, I looked up and noticed some debris flying all the way up like gravity was messing with them. Until a few seconds later, the beacon stopped and all the debris that was in the air…began falling to the ground, AND AT US!
I gasped, "Guys, run!" They looked up and noticed it too. Dash stood up and took Fluttershy's wing before I got up and took Rarity's. So many stones and bars were about to fall on us but thankfully we all ran as quick as we could, and I opened the doors to the gate and hotel so we could be safe.
Once we got in, we thought we were, until everything fell and caused such a racket and crash that I thought my ears would break and that we were goners. After fifteen seconds, the dust started to clear, the glitching lights in the hotel turned back on, and the four of us stopped hugging when we realized it was safe.
I said with a rough cough, "Is everybody okay? Are we all good?" "I don't know if I would have the right answer to that?" Fluttershy said frightfully and pointed to the way we came in, seeing that the doors were busted by large boulders and bars. "Oh crap." "C?" Rarity took my shoulder. "What in the name of Equestria and Endless was that?" "Rarity…I wish I knew." Because what we saw there was obviously not something exciting.
Let me now explain "ARSENAL." For a while, I've watching these videos about cutscenes to the game series Ratchet & Clank, and I've been really enjoying them. So I want to make a handful of Ask C episodes that will be kind of similar to them. Hope you like it and know that this won't stop me from answering the questions that come from you guys.
Some way to start off your time after graduation, huh? :)
And Alex, don't think I didn't like that comment you sent last time. Here's to hoping that Sunset won't read it though.
