Chapter 11: GMH

Finally arriving at the library, we heard a belch come from inside.
"uh oh" as we opened the door, spike was in a panicked state.
"What is it spike?"
"Luna, angry, Octavia, doomed"
I just shouted "GOOD!"
They all looked at me as I broke down.

"Spike, get 8 glasses" Twilight then shot me a look.
There was an audible pop as I removed the cork.
The glasses were placed onto a table, as I poured out the wine Applejack placed a hoof on my shoulder.
"Sugarcube, just what happened back there?"
"I… I was wrong," the gates had opened, and the tears started to slowly form in my eyes once again.
"Ugh…how fucking stupid am I, bloody hell" there was a knock on the door.
"May we come in" it was Luna.
"Sure," Twilight walked to the door and opened it. "Take a seat" I looked up at the princess for a moment.

"Let's just enjoy the rest of the night" I pushed back the depressive thoughts in my mind.
I took a sip of wine and relaxed. "So, where's Octavia?" Rainbow dash asked.
"She's doing Noteworthy" I stated with a hint of anger.
"Oh…I-im sorry" dash was shocked to hear it.
"s'okay, the wine'll help dull the pain" I grinned slightly.
Luna sat down next to me. "I'm sorry to hear that your… love-life has"
"Luna, forgive me for saying this but… I just don't want to talk about it" I looked up and gave a small smile reassuring her.
"I'll be fine, it's….happened before"
I sat there at told them about my previous relationship. Their faces betrayed their emotions.

Fluttershy looked as though it was the saddest story she had heard.
Applejack was ranting "how could someone do such a thing"
Rainbow dash simply laid a wing on Fluttershy's back.
Rarity pulled out a chaise lounge and sobbed lightly.
Pinkie pie gave me a meek smile, her eyebrows furrowed as she tried to find the right words.
"The older I get, maybe I'll get over it quicker" I summed up.
Twilight was still stunned, "I never knew that… it was…"
"Don't bother thinking about it Twi" I smiled as I finished my first glass of wine.

I pulled the tie up to my forehead, akin to a bandana.
"Now… drink up me hearties yo ho" I chuckled.
"Well, you sure know how to make the best of a bad situation" Luna looked at me with a smile on her face.
"I've got too really, I know something was bound to happen tonight," I frowned.
"Doubt I'll be sleeping tonight" I sighed, causing the moon princess to look at me.
"What ever do you mean?" she asked, worried about my next answer.
I simply tapped my temple "too many memories, got to bury this one" she looked at me for a moment.
"I used to be an acting student, I buried memories then when I needed to portray a certain emotion, and I'd dig it up"
She continued to listen as did some of the others. I poured out the second glass of wine for each of them, and myself.
"But after I decided to turn to music, the memories would resurface from time to time,"

"Can I see these memories?"
"They're not very…pleasant, but go ahead" I felt a slight tap from a glowing horn.
Luna started to tear up. "Oh my…. I…. how do you… deal with all this?" I heard her worried tone of voice.
"I'm sorry Luna" I lowered my head.
"Its quite all right" she smiled once again, but the tears fell.
I grabbed a tissue, not noticing ponies watching, and dried her eyes.
"And who says chivalry is dead," Rarity beamed. "I just wish I could find a gentle-colt of my own" the white mare sighed.
I raised an eyebrow. "You might find him someday Rarity, you just have to use your eyes" I smiled meekly.

It had been an hour since we started. We emptied two of the three wine bottles.
Twilight and I teleported back to my house, I grabbed the access to music bag and placed more bottles inside.
We teleported back to the library, "I'm never going to get used to that" I chuckled.
My head was slightly spinning.
My fingers were no longer throbbing, hell… I couldn't feel them.
"Heh can't feel my fingers anymore" I chuckled as the 7 mares looked my way.
"Not to worry though, I can still move em" I wriggled them.
I plonked myself down beside Luna and Twilight.
Sure, they were awkward but I got along fine with them.
I took the third bottle of wine and placed it somewhere out of the way.
I relaxed knowing that I was finally loosening up.
"So," pinkie grabbed an empty bottle. "Who's up for truth or dare"
"Well, I'm screwed" I chuckled.

This was going to be hard, but then again. It would be fun either way.
We all got into a circle. Pinkie spun the bottle, it landed on dash.
"Dare!"
The pink pony smiled "I dare you to Kiss Applejack"
Applejack almost did a spit-take. "Pucker up Jack" I chuckled.
I heard a quiet "don't mind if I do" I turned around and caught a glimpse of what could be described as something wonderful.
Dash spun the bottle next. "Twilight"
"Um… truth"
"Who do you have a crush on?"
I chuckled as I watched her fumble her words. "It's… Wordsworth"
"The guy in the bookshop?" I raised an eyebrow while speaking, she just nodded nervously.
"Well, you should go say hi at some point" dash interjected.

Twilight spun the bottle, it landed on me.
"Hmmm, if I chose truth, I'd be asked a question I couldn't answer, so I'll go with dare"
"I dare you to….sing something you don't normally sing"
I blanked for a moment, racking my brain for songs I had seldom remembered.
"Okay, but I need a fast healing spell for my left hand and my acoustic" I felt magic envelop my hand, and a bright flash of light.
The acoustic was then laid to rest in my hands.
"Ehe, here goes"

The ponies sat and listened as I poured my heart out.
I was still broken; they could hear it in my song choice.
I shed a few tears as I remembered life back on earth.
I felt a wing resting on my shoulder.
My eyes opened as I looked around, I could see they too felt a small portion of my pain.
"Ugh sorry about that, every-pony" I used an equestrian mannerism.
"That's okay, Rob," Luna looked at me with a smile. "It was beautiful"
I couldn't help but smile.

I spun the bottle next. It landed on Rarity.
"Truth" I smirked a little bit at her quick decision.
"Very well," I chuckled to myself "how do you feel about spike"
"Oh dear… he's a good dragon but… if… if he was a colt…" I had her flustered, but in my own little sly way.
"I see, well… get over it, he's always been there," I took a hearty swig of wine.
"He's more of a gentle-colt than I could ever be" I chuckled a bit with a genuine smile.
She nodded, "I'll tell him tomorrow" I grinned.
"I'll hold you to that" I chuckled.

She then spun the bottle, I watched as it landed on Luna. Oh crap.
"Truth" she smiled, looking at me for a moment. I could see the love in her eyes.
"Why did you come here?" Rarity asked with a hint of concern.
"Originally it was to deal with Octavia, but now? Now it's just too…well," she blushed as her wingspan shot out.
"I wanted to keep Him company" she tapped me with a hoof.
"Oh I see" Rarity smiled, I was still oblivious to Luna's feelings.
"I shall spin the bottle" she giggled. She spun it.
I face-palmed as the bottle once again landed on me.
"What's life without a little risk," I took another swig of wine then flipped a coin.
Tails...

"Truth"

"Where did that scar along your side come from" Luna asked, I remembered she had seen me with my shirt off before.
"Well," I shrugged my shoulders "there was a mugging in the city ten miles from where I lived," the ponies listened.
"Well… actually it was more attempted Rape"

Flash bang flashback!

I walked along the sidewalk, humming a simple tune.
I heard a scream, and three men. "Come on you little bitch"
"Yeah, give up" I looked down the alleyway.
One had her by the arms, pinning her against the wall. Another was holding her bag, riffling through it in search of money.
"The bitch aint got anything"
"No but I have" I stood in the moonlight, silhouetted.

The men started to laugh.
"Let the girl go, and no-one gets hurt" I growled.
The three men just laughed. "Eh fuck off man, cant you see we're trying"
I jumped up and kicked him square in the jaw. "Did I forget something?" I chuckled.
"Get this punk" I heard the guy speak. He spat out blood as he drew a knife.
"Is that all?" I chuckled, taking a glance at the pathetic looking blade.
I grabbed him by the arm, throwing the goon to the ground.
"Boot to the head" I kicked his head into the wall, rendering him unconscious.
"Motherfucker!" the second bloke rushed me. I simply brought my knee up, he ran into it, balls first.
"Next time, mind your surroundings" I grumbled as the other one had caught me in the side with the knife.
I pulled a chuck Norris, and roundhouse kicked him in the face. I almost shattered his skull due to the speed and force I was using.
"Are you okay miss?" I asked as she pulled out a phone.
Within a few minutes I heard police sirens and an ambulance arriving. I blacked out.

Back in the library

"… and that's when I was told I was lucky to be alive" I summed up my story.
"Really?" Luna gave me a look of admiration.
"Yup, it happened last year"
The others gasped.
"My world is shit in comparison to Equestria" I chuckled, slowly working myself into a drunken stupor.
"What were your friends like?"

"Eh… they were a bit like you guys," I chuckled. "Although they'd say I was kind of the pinkie pie of the group"
They all laughed. "So, what were they like?"
"Well…"
I told them a few stories, even the one about my move into music.
"That's actually pretty cool dude," dash chimed. "I didn't think you'd be that musically inclined"
"They inspired me" I chuckled.
The bottle was spun once again. "Truth"

We had been drinking a bit more, finally the fun truly began.
At least that's what I thought. As dash said truth, Rarity looked at her… and then said "who do you love?"
I watched as Dash's wings spread out. Her blush shot up. "It's… Pinkie Pie" I glanced over to Applejack who looked a tad hurt, but she was still smiling.
"Ah wont get in your way then" she grinned.

I looked over to Pinkie pie, she was in the process of pouncing on Dash with a gigantic grin on her face.
I smiled at the sight, and then sighed.
"Least something good happened tonight" I beamed.
I did something unexpected; I laid my head on Luna's shoulder.
A blush slowly crept across her face as rarity spun the bottle.
It Landed on Luna. "Um… Dare" she said shyly.
"Well… it may not be…very um…regal to do so but….kiss him"
My ears perked up for a moment, I was about to protest.
I was silenced by lips connecting to mine. Her tongue made its way to battle with mine.
My head was slightly spinning. I felt the magic in her flow into me.
Why am I so conflicted? I thought to myself.

She broke the kiss; "thou dost not know how long I wanted to do that" she smiled coyly.
"I think I know" I smiled; the air of awkwardness was suddenly lifted by two moaning ponies.
"Get a room you two!" I shouted at the two Mares in question.
"C-c-can we?" I heard Pinkie's voice shake in ecstasy.

I am definitely not sleeping now I thought to myself.

And so ends another chapter, and im no longer cold! We have heating (hooray)

But I'm still in a bit of a funk … oh well…

Stupid memories…
