CH.6: Scootin Along
After what seemed like ages of dragging, pulling, and occasional attempts to resist I soon found myself pulled in front of a small clearing. Within the clearing was a clubhouse that was well-built, despite looking weather-worn, and what looked like a small wagon and some other object lying on its side. "Soooo can you let go of my body now?" I asked with ample amounts of dirt in my mouth. Scootaloo spat my mane out and her filly friends dropped my hooves. "Sorry bout that." Smiled Apple Bloom. "Yeah Mister V I guess we got carried away." Said a slightly blushing Sweetie Belle. "I hope you're not mad at us." a puppy dog face making Scootaloo replied. And before I could even think of a response I was assaulted with what I like to call the 'Goo Goo Eye' faces, something I thought only my Niece was capable of using on me. But keeping my bearing and military resolve I said, very cooly, "Daaaaaaaawwwwwwww its okay girls, just tell old Uncle V what you need." I really fucking hate kids sometimes, sticky, shifty-eyed, plotting bastards. "Yayyyy!" They squealed in unison almost bursting my eardrums. "We'll be back to Cutie Mark Crusading in no time!" Exclaimed a smiling Sweetie Belle. "Cutie what now?" I asked confused, the three young fillies turned to me looking almost as confused as me. It took a pointing hoof and a brief explanation from apple bloom to make me realize the tattoo on my ass was a cutie mark which apparently is given to you when you realize what your special talent is. "What kind of grown pony doesn't know that?" Asked Apple Bloom.
"I'm not an old man Apple Bloom." I said flatly, "And anyways what does this whole crusading thing have to do with dragging me a quarter-mile through the woods and an ant hill?" "Come on I'll show you its this way." Said Scootaloo using her wing to point the wa..."WING!" I yelled pointing at her. "The hay's the matter with you?" Said Apple Bloom, "Course she has wings she's a Pegasus just like Sweetie Belle being a Unic... "HORN!" I then yelled pointing at Sweetie Belle's head. Damn I really gotta stop reacting like any normal person would if they saw this kinda shit. "Ya telling me ya never saw a Pegasus or a Unicorn before?" Asked Apple Bloom. "Uhhhhhhh no we didn't have either where I used to live." I lamely responded. "Wow where was that V?" Asked Sweetie Belle. Quick on my toes I responded hastily, "Say girls what was it you wanted help with?"
"Oh yeah." Said Scootaloo, "Its right by our cart come on!" She then led me to the cart and what ended up being the frame and steering component to a ghetto rigged scooter. "See I was going to pick up Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle but I hit some bumps on the way to Sweetie Belle's place and it just sorta fell apart." Said Scootaloo looking slightly upset to see her scooter in such a state. "Huh ok well I don't have my tools on me since you guys decided to drag me here." but looking at the three innocently smiling fillies I replied, "Buuuut I guess I can take a quick look at it."
I said smiling slightly. "Yay! Thanks V!" They cried in joy...And once again in unison. "Ughhhhhhh I'm never gonna get my smoke break now." I thought to myself. Approaching the scooter I could tell I might not need anything more than a wrench or some pliers. It seemed the mounting screws for the scooter's steering handle were stripped loose. Turning to the fillies I said, "You guys are in luck looks like I can fix your scooter." Clapping my hooves to my ears I droned out one more 'yay!' from the three. But I raised a hoof and stated bluntly, "I need you guys to help me out, you can think of yourselves as my apprentices." I smiled. "Really?" They asked, "Yup all I need is a bolt, a nut, and some pliers or a wrench." I listed to them. Apple Bloom immediately smiled, "I know where we can get that stuff I've been using a bunch of things like that to fix up our clubhouse! Come on girls!"
And as if they were hiding rocket engines in their asses they sped off. "Wow," I thought, "Did I have that much energy growing up?...Hmmm yup! Good thing I grew out of that just like how my attention span gre...Oh butterfly!" But before I could admire my distraction I saw that Apple Bloom had returned with a toolbox in her mouth and Scootaloo was dragging what looked to be a belt. "Here ya go V!" She said laying the box down. "Perfect." I said as I pulled out the pliers and two adjustable wrenches. "And here!" Said Scootaloo, "You can use this tool belt we borrowed from Big Mac!" "Borrowed?" I asked arching my eyebrow but seeing and trying the multipocketed belt I pushed being a responsible young adult aside.
"Verrrrry nicccccceeee." I stated, "At least I got pockets now." I thought, though it was bit loose around the waist, but then again it was meant for Big Mac.
It was then that I noticed Sweetie Belle approach with something in her mouth. "Sweetie Be..." I began to say but was cut short when she spat a few bolts and nuts out of her mouth. "Blehhhh," She said, "Tastes funny." And without skipping a beat I replied "What would you expect with that many nuts in your mouth..." I was greeted with blank stares, damn kids wouldn't know humor if it bit them in the ass. "Ahem anyway this'll work just gimme a minute."
And no more than 60 seconds later the scooter was fixed and smiles from the fillies were received. "Thanks V!" Replied Scootaloo as she begin to haul ass around the general area. "Damn'" I thought, "It's no wonder the thing broke." But despite all this they seemed happy enough, so happy they assaulted me with random body part bear hugs. "V you should totally come with us to Fluttershy's place! Were gonna try to see if we can get our cow milking cutie marks!" "Yeah!" Cried the other 2. "Yeah!" I cried getting caught in their hyperactiveness, "Wait now?!" I said but just like earlier I was grabbed, though this time I was thrown in the back of their rickety cart and was speeding farther from my smokes and deeper into the woods..."God damn kids." I grumbled.
