Scootaloo kept the lamp above her head, ready to club him with it. Apple Bloom's sides were heaving from the sudden shot of raw eroticism that Seamus had accidentally given her. Diamond Tiara just stared at him in shock at what had just done.
"I'm so sorry! I don't know what happened!" Seamus yelled.
"Don't know what happened? You just about got it on with my best friend right in front of me!" Scootaloo screamed, her voice cracking.
Apple Bloom finally opened her eyes and looked at Seamus. The emotion in her eyes was a strange mixture of alienation and a nearly bottomless curiosity.
"What the buck just happened?" she said, panting. "That was… amazin…"
"Wait, so you have no idea what you were just doing with him?" Scootaloo asked.
"Well… no… but ah kinda wonna do it again!" She smiled, furthering her faux pase. "Why, was it wrong?" She asked.
Scootaloo face-hoofed. "Never do that unless you talk to an adult, okay?"
"Why, did ah do somethin wrong?" She asked again.
"Talk to Rarity, this isn't my job." The young pegasaus sighed.
Seamus was glad the attention was being drawn away from him, but just as he thought it would just slide, Diamond Tiara got up and went to the door. He willed the door to shut and just as the thought formed in his head, the door slammed shut. He looked up at his horn and smiled despite the situation. He could finally use magic again.
"Open the door! I'm leaving you freaks right now! And I'm telling my dad!" Diamond Tiara ranted in anger, but her voice shook from fear of him.
"If you're going to tell, then no. "Seamus stated.
"I'm going to tell and you can't stop me!" she meant to yell it, but it came out as a terrified squeak. "You're dead when my father hears about this!"
Seamus looked at the Crusaders. "Will any of you tell?" he asked desperately.
"If you never, ever do that again, fine." Scootaloo said.
"I will, but I want to know what he was doing" Sweetie Belle said; Scootaloo groaned.
"Okay, but ah wanna know too." Apple Bloom agreed.
He turned to the pompous, spoiled brat of a foal. "It's just you."
"I'm going to tell no matter what you say!" she growled through grated teeth.
Seamus looked at her and sighed. He wanted to let her go, but that wouldn't sit well on his already highly controversial record. So, with a very difficult choice before him, he chose the path of least resistance, the Occam's razor, per se. With a nearly effortless flick of magic, the bully's eyes began to drift shut.
"What did you do?" Scootaloo asked.
"A very heavy sleeping spell. Totally harmless, really." He explained.
"Where'd you learn that?" Sweetie Belle asked
"A book I stole from Jakbe-…. I mean… my dad's library." He started, and then lied.
They looked at Diamond Tiara's unconscious form and Seamus nodded. "She actually seems kinda nice when she's asleep." He observed.
Apple Bloom spoke up. "Well whatdo 'we do with her?"
"I say we throw her in a ditch." Scootaloo grinned.
The other two fillies stepped away from the young pegasaus.
"Let me handle it." Seamus said and cast another quick spell. "If she asks, she fell asleep on her own." He said, erasing her memory of his infraction.
Sweetie Belle smiled. "You should teach me how to do that!"
"No." Was all the young alicorn said back. "That book I took had some nasty magic in it. Figures, I guess, It's Jakbe-er… my dad." He corrected himself.
He shook his head and tried to grasp at what had made him do that? He was suddenly in a totally different place and time, he could feel everything like it was reality and he got his magic back. He needed to see a professional, and he wanted to talk to somepony about this. Why had that come back all at once like that? It had been that one night… that one amazing night that haunted him.
His first thoughts were to tell Rarity, but he shrugged the idea off. He needed a pony that would understand and help him, not scold him. He thought of Sky and how he had always understood him perfectly, they were two of the same problems, even though they were both slightly different. Sky was thoughtful and would accept any viewpoint or opinion that had a decent amount of rationalization behind it, while Seamus was always tolerant, but he wouldn't ever change his own views on anything.
Except that one time, but that's a whole different story for later.
Once the two didn't talk to each other for an entire night because they couldn't come to an agreement on how, if they could, escape. Every time Seamus would formulate a plan, Sky would bring up why he couldn't because he worked in the Northern wing, which had the most lax security because Jakben called that wing his home, even though he would never come out during the day.
Seamus smiled at the memory, Sky had been so cool and he had been so angry, it was always like that. He was always so temperamental and Sky was the one who wanted nothing more than to resolve the conflict in the most peaceful manner possible. He knew how to have fun, too. The other colt loved nothing more than to see how they two could mess with the force field around their turret and trick the pigeons into trying to land on the tower. Seamus learned peace and patience from him, and he was eternally grateful for the lessons in tolerance and acceptance.
Seamus missed the Sky so much his chest hurt and his heart clenched. Would Melody really throw her prize pony to that… thing? The Sautilus, he'd never seen it, but he knew exactly what it did. It eats sanity like a delicious entrée to your actual body. Sometimes Melody would pull the victim out of the chamber before the spirit could do any physical harm and send the broken pony back to work to scare the others into obedience.
The occasional female prisoner of war would be bought and kept exclusively in Melody's tower. Seamus cringed at the thought of that last summer night. That night Jakben fed well.
Scootaloo brought him back from his thoughts. She clapped her hooves right next to his ear impatiently. He shook his head again and looked at her.
"I need to talk to Fluttershy." He said
Diamond Tiara woke up and went home later on. Seamus went downstairs and looked up at Rarity, trying to think of how to ask her. After an awkward moment of just staring at her he said.
"Can I go over to Fluttershy's?" He asked.
"It's nearly nine o' clock, dear. It's not the time to be asking me that." She responded.
"Please?" He begged, sticking his bottom lip out and widening his purple eyes.
She groaned. "Why?"
"Because you don't have enough beds here." A long silence settled on them.
"I'll walk you over." She caved at last.
Seamus closed the door and smiled at the cozy cabin. It was homey and reminded him of his house back in the Northern islands of The Counties. He looked around at the interior and couldn't help but feel at ease, even though he'd nearly lost all inkling decency an hour ago. Fluttershy walked downstairs and saw him. He smiled warmly t her and she did the same.
He joyfully skipped over to her and looked up at the mare with bright amethyst eyes.
"Hi." Was all he whispered, one syllable that held a thousand words of warmth and adoration.
She looked down at him and he looked right into her eyes. They could have stood there for hours, but he had come there for a reason. Maybe she could help him with his problems.
"I wanted to talk to you." He said.
She went over to her couch and settled down. He followed and sat down at the opposite end.
"What do you want to talk about?" She asked softly.
"Earlier I started to do something and I was suddenly in my past doing the same thing, but to a different pony and in a different time. I don't know what happened." He explained.
"Who was the pony?" She asked.
He looked at his hooves and bit his bottom lip. He wanted to tell her, but that would seem so wrong if he just went out and said it. He needed to explain a lot first.
"Okay. It's a long story, but I hope you understand…" He begins.
Okay, so I thought you people could help me out and tell me what you want to hear.
If your suggestion is not relevant or just flat out random I will ignore you.
Any other suggestions I will love and tolerate. What OC's do you want to hear more about? Why am I asking you for what I should write? Because I value your opinions and I need to know which of my OC's is the popular one that people should know more about.
So tell me what you want explained or written about more. See you in the next chapter!
