>*BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP* >Your face contorts at the high pitched beeping sound, pulling your from your dreams. >You see that it's daylight out and you're minus one sleeping dash. >And why do you smell smoke? >Then it hits you like a brick. >Your head cranks over towards the kitchen where all of the girls are panicking. >The beeping, is from the smoke alarm. >Instinct takes over and you dive over the couch and into the kitchen. >You throw open one of the cupboards and pull out some flour and pour it in the flaming, smoking, pan that someone was cooking breakfast in. >The fire goes out and you open the window to clear out smoke. >Tearing the batteries out of the smoke alarm, the obnoxious sound dies and you can actually hear yourself think for once this morning. "So I take it breakfast was a success?" you say sarcastically. >RD: "We tried to make you breakfast but.." >She looks over to the mess on the stove. "Yeah.. It's okay, it's the thought that count really." you smile. >A banging on your door takes you away from your thoughts. >"Anon?! What the hell is all the commotion! and why do I smell smoke!?" >Ooooh shit. >Landlord. "Quickly girls into my room! Go! I'll take care of this." you whisper. >You rush over to your door and crack it open. "Just a little mishap with breakfast.. that's all." >"It lasted for 45 minutes.." >You really slept through that? "Uhh everythings under control now, sir." >The landlord quirks his brow and tries to push the door open. >Your foot stops his advance. "I said everything's under control.." >"And I'm your landlord, now let me in." >He tries to push the door again. >You stop it with your body this time. >"Anon.. you let me in or I call the cops." >He's kinda got you by the balls. >You begrudgingly move out of the way of the door. >He stomps in like he owns the damn pl-oh wait. >He inspects the kitchen, and thankfully there's really no damage. >"Alright Anon, it seems like you do have it under control." >*Achoo* a small squeaky sneeze is heard from within the apartment. >"What was that?" "What was what?" >"You didn't just hear someone sneeze?" "..No?" >"I know you heard it, it was clear as day." "I swear I didn't hear anything." >"Anon you pay for one tennant.. I swear if you're hoarding someone, I want my money or they get out." >Ohshitohshitohshit. >He's walking over to the bedroom door! >What do you do?! >He opens the door and you sprint over before he sees the girls. >You stop behind him and look in the room. >Nothing. >Huh..? >He walks in and over to the closet before pulling the door over. >Your heart is racing 20 miles per minute. >He closes the closet door and scratches his head. >Then he checks underneath the bed. >Still nothing. >"I guess I am hearing things Anon." >He tries to clean out his ear with his pinkie. >Ew. "And I done with inspection mein feuer?" >He looks at you like "What the fuck?" >"Yeah... just clean up that mess in the kitchen." >He proceeds outside your apartment and closes the door behind him. >Dodged a bullet there.. >Now.. where the hell did the girls go? >You turn around and look back into the bedroom to find them all standing there. "What th- how?" >PP: "Magic." She says in a flat voice with a shit eating grin on her face. >You stand there, mouth open. >The girls walk past you into the living room. >Dash comes up to your and whispers in your ear. >RD: "We just hit outside on that fire escape thingy." >And then pats you on the shoulder before walking out of the room. >You shrug. >Well whatever, it worked didn't it? >You walk over and sit on the couch and turn the TV on. >Dash of course takes her spot by your side. >The others just sit wherever they felt comfortable. ------ >You've been sitting here for about an hour now, watching an old clint eastwood movie. >AJ being the most interested in it. >Twilights been asking you nonstop questions about cinematography and the wild west. >Pinkie and Fluttershy are playing cards. >Rarity is having miniature panic attacks over your selection of clothing you picked up the other day. >and Dash is buried into your side. >What an awesome Saturday. >Kidding, you're bored as fuck. "Say girls, why don't we do something fun today?" >PP: "Fun?! Ooooh~ I love fun!" >Twilight squees like a dog toy. >TS: "Really?! Oh this is going to be such a learning experience." >R: "I'd LOVE to see what this places taste in fashion is." "So it's settled then." >You go change really quick and tell the girls to do the same. >After getting around, you, spike, and the girls head out on a fun filled day of wonder. >First stop. >The Mall. >TS: "Where are we going first Anon?" "It's a Surprise." >PP: "I like surprises!" "Heh, I know pinks." >After a 15 minute drive, you finally arrive at the mall. >All: "Woooow.." >R: "Anon darling, what is a "Mall" anyways." "It's a giant building filled with a lot of shopping outlets and restaurants." >R:"J-just like the canterlot strip?!" >Uhh.. "Can't really say, I haven't been there." >R: "Well, it's really just as you described this place." "Interesting.." >Except, this isn't a fancy place with fancy ponie-er people. >You managed find a parking spot which is surprising. >Considering it's a Saturday and this is teen hub central. >The eight of you enter the mall. >The girls are astounded at the sheer size of this place. >Can't blame them. >You just watch and smile. "Go have fun." >The girls take off in different directions. >Dash stays behind with you. "So what do you want to do first?" >RD: "I don't know, you're the tour guide." She says playfully. >You know the perfect place. >TO THE ARCADE! >You and dash head over towards the sounds of 8-bit themed music and the clash of fists. >RD: "We have arcades back in ponyville." She says. "Well you haven't seen my arcade yet." you grin. >Dash has never experience the joys of throwing hadouken's at children. >It's time you change that. >You enter the neon and fluorescent light filled electronic playground eager to show dash the time of her life. >You scan the multiple machines and try to decide what you should play first. >Then one machine stands out from the others. >Contra, glorious 8-bit contrar. "This way dash." >You both head over to the machine and you deposit 2 quarters for yourself and her. "Okay here's how it works." >You take control of your battle station. "This is the analog stick, up, down, left, right, ya know general directions, A is to jump and B is to fire, got all that?" >RD: "Yep!" >Before you start the game you put in the oldest cheat code known to mankind. >99 lives. "Get ready." >The game starts up and you're already on a roll taking out every 8-bit bastard you see. >You were too busy keeping an eye on your score you didn't know that dash was actually beating you. >porque? >She has you by over 500,000 points. >You didn't pay enough attention to your virtual warrior and he died.. for the next 5 minutes. >Dash is dominating you at this point. >You finally reach it to the final boss with your 10 lives left. "Hey dash how many times have you died?" >RD: "None." she says sticking her tongue out in concentration. >You look at her in shock, causing you to lose another 5 lives. >Dash is raping the hell out of the red dick looking motherfucker. >You stand there with mouth agape. >Not even caring that you lost all your lives. "GAME OVER! YOU WIN!" >Dash just beat you on contra with a 15 million point lead and all on one life. >Part of you doesn't want to live on this planet anymore. >The one thing you thought you were good at in life. >Crushed and scattered in the wind. "I don't even.." >RD: "Looks like I beat ya at your own game, Anon, do I get a prize?" She gives you a sly smile. >This cheeky.. >You want a prize? "Close your eyes." >She does and giggles awaiting her gift. "Boop" >You boop her on the nose. >She opens her eyes with a dissapointed look on her face. >RD: "Really?" >You smile and cross your arms. "Really." >She grabs your head and forces you into a quick kiss. >RD: "Much better." >She walks off into the arcade. >You stand there blushing like an idiot. >Meanwhile. ----- >"No ma'am you can't buy candy with balloons." The store clerk says enthusiastically. >PP: "Aww what not?" >"Because you buy it with money." >PP: "But I don't have any money!" >"Not my problem." >Pinkie pie stands there and thinks for a moment. >A lightbulb goes off above her head. >Literally. >She runs out of the store in search of Anon. >Twilight however, is sitting in the food court watching all the people go about their day. >She has a notepad out in front of her and is jotting down various notes. >Setting the pencil down she takes a look out into the court of the mall. >She see's a pink blob running through crowds of people. >TS: "Pinkie?" --- >AJ is currently walking the strip passing by all the stores. >None of them catching her interest. >Save for one.. >The video store. >AJ: "I wonder if they got any more of them eastwood movies in there.." >She proceeds into the video store ---- >Fluttershy is in the middle of the Pet store looking at all the adorable creatures she's used to seeing >Except, they're not the critters from equestria. >She spots a labrador puppy in one of the display cages. >FS: "Aww you're adorable!" >The pup stares up at shy, little tail wagging behind him. >She looks up and see's the price for one of the dogs. >A small sign that reads "Only $699.00!" >FS: "Oh I don't have any money.." she pouts. >Then a bright idea pops into her head >FS: "Maybe anon can help!" >And off she goes in search for you and your wallet. >R: "Oh these just look fabulous! The stitching on these are flawless!" She says going through thousands of dresses. >Rarity is currently doing some browsing at JCPenney. >She's already grabbed two carts full of dresses and shoes to match. >Bringing them to check out she plops them down on the counter. >It's fucking mountain. >The cash sighs and mumbles to himself. >"After this I quit" >About 20 minutes later he finally finishes scanning the last item. >He rings up the total. >"That'll be $2,386.35" >Rarity checks her handbag and realizes she doesn't have any money. >But realizes Anon does. >R: "I've seem to have misplaced my bits, I'll be riiight back, good sir.." >She leaves the store. >The cashier just looks at the mountain of dresses. >"Scratch that, killing myself." ------ >Twilight and spike have been following around pinkie for the last half hour. >TS: "What the heck is she up to?" >S: "Beats me.." >She seems to be heading to the place with the "Arcade" sign above it. >TS: "Maybe she's looking for Anon?" >S: "I dunno, could be." >The both of them continue to follow pinkie around the mall. --- >You and dash are currently walking out of the Arcade right as pinkie walks in, completely oblivious to each other. >You decided to take dash to a sporting goods store. >Being athletic and all, you still haven't taught her about human sports. >Why not now right? >You bring her to DICK'S SPORTING GOODS. >Bringing her over to the football section you grab a soccer ball and toss it at dash. "I think you'd like football, great sport." >RD: "What's the objective?" >You proceed to explain the basics of the sport to dash while browsing for more things. --- >AJ: "Ooh I like this one." >Applejack has spent her time looking at all the western movies ever made. >She's even selected some fine choices to bring back to Anon's house. >Bringing them up to the cashier he gasps and looks at applejack. >AJ: "What y'all lookin' at partner?" >"Great cosplay!" >AJ: "Come again?" >"Cosplay, you're outfit is so awesome!" >AJ: "The heck is a cosplay?" >The cashier screeches like a sperglord. >"Is this the REAL applejack?" >AJ is speechless. >AJ: "..How did you know mah name.." she says in a cold, stern, tone. >"Come with me I want to show your something!" >The neckbeard rolls over the counter like a rolling pin and pulls AJ out of the store and drags her along towards the darkest place in the mall. >Hot Topic. ----- >You and Dash leave the sporting store, with a newly acquired soccer ball. >She seems really interested in the sport. >You promised to sit down and watch a game with her sometime. >The both of you are walking towards the food court when you spot some fat shit pulling a girl with a stetson behind him. >OH FUCK. >You can practically smell the autism from here. >RD: "Anon who's that with AJ?" "I don't know but.." >You look around and then down at the soccer ball. >An idea pops into your head. >You take dashes ball and set it in the ground and line up your shot. >Taking a step back you punt the ball as hard as you can. >It takes a sharp curve through the air and nails the fat shit right in the head. >Pic related. >AJ looks back to see you standing there waving her over. >She runs over to you and dash, confused at what just happened. >AJ: "Anon, that guy over there knew who I was.. how?" >WARNING: PARADOX IMMINENT. "I really have no idea how, Applejack." >You throw on the best poker face you can muster. >AJ: "He said he was takin' me to this place called "Hot Topic" what do ya'll suppose is in there?" >Your heart drops down to your asshole. >This could have been easily avoided. >But there HAS to be been neckbeards in your city. >Their fucking everywhere. >Like a plague. >The other girls are now running over to your group. >R: "Oh there you are Anonymous.. I was wondering.." >FS: "C-could I have some money to buy a puppy?" >R: *Ehem..* "As I was saying.. Anonymous dear, I need about 2,386 bit." >You feel your left eye twitch. >Pinkie jumps on your back. >PP: "Yeah can I get some money for some candy too?!" >TS: "Oh hey Anon and Hi girls!" >S: "Guess you were right, Twi." >AJ pushes her way to the front of the group. >AJ: "I still wanna check this "Hot Topic" Place.." "Girls! Give me a moment to think here.." >You feel as if your pockets are about to detonate a 40-ton nuclear spaghetti bomb. >Enough to level the entire eastern seaboard. >Looking back over at the downed beast, he's getting up and stomping his way over here spouting bad breath and curses. >"Hey asshole! What what that for? I'll let you know I have over 300-" >The situation is quickly going to shit at a rapid rate. >You have 6 girls pestering you for answers, an angry sperglord coming this way. >And everyone is watching. >Alright, enough of this shit. >Your mind snaps momentarily. "AHHHHHHHH!" >You push through the girls and straight at the neckbeard at full speed. >You then proceed to.. >pic related >You take him about 10 feet across the room with you. >You stand up and fix your shirt. >The girls just stand their, jaws on the floor. >The manchild groans in pain. >You kneel down close to his face. "If I ever see you talking to those girls again, I"m going to beat you senseless and steal your shoes as a trophy, do you understand me?" >He nods furiously. "And if I see anymore of your cult friends around here, I'll be back with more soccer balls." >He gulps before nodding again. "Good." >You get up and walk over to the rest of the girls. >AJ: "What'd ya'll do that fer?" "He was crazy and had to be put down." >TS: "Crazy?" "He's infected with a disease, I didn't want you to catch it." >The girls squirm in fear. >TS: "W-what kind of disease?" "..Autism." >You look at AJ. "We'll go to Hot Topic after I take you girls to lunch." >You start walking to the food court. >She gives you a stern look before following. >Here you are, sitting in the food court with the girls. >You sit in silence and enjoy your fruit smoothie. >You're really not hungry right now. >The girls are all enjoying some nice salads, but their eyes never leave you. >AJ:" So are ya going to tell us what that was really about?" >You take one last sip of your smoothing and set it down calmly. "I thought he was going to hurt you AJ." you say in a calm tone of voice. >RD: "Anon is something the matter? You're acting strange." "Nope, everything's fine Dash." >You take one last sip of your smoothing and get up from your chair. "I'll be right back, I must use the restroom." >You walk off out of sight. >Looking back and making sure nobody was behind you, you head off towards the most autistic store in the nation. >That god forsaken shit hole, Hot Topic. >You creep up in that bitch and look for every set of brony merch you can find. >Shirts, Bags, Vinyl figurines, the works. >You managed to pile them up in a few shopping baskets. >Walking up the the register you notice the fedora sitting on the cashiers head. >Son of a fuck.. >"Wow that's a lot of merch! You like my shirt?! It's 20% cooler now that we sell these!" >You blink. >And decided to let your body do the talking. >Your fist finds itself buried in his face like a hatchet. >The neckbeard goes down for the count. >You proceed to walk behind the counter, no fucks given. >You tear off his fucking retarded ass vinyl scratch shirt. >and then you take his shoes for your trophy case back home. >Collecting your baskets of merch, you then walk out to the parking garage of the mall. >You walk behind a section of the garage where you know nobody will see you. >Somehow you managed to get a can of gasoline at some point and begin pouring it all over the merch. >Lighting a match, you throw it and watch as it burns up into glorious smoke and flames. >Mission Accomplished. >You walk back inside like nothing happened. >Grabbing some cologne from one of the various placed vendors without anyone noticing. >You spray it on yourself to cover up the smell of smoke and gasoline. >Once you think you're adequately bathed, you head back to the food court. >You look at your watch. >That only took you 6 minutes? >Not bad. >You sit back down as calmly as you were before. "Sorry about that, now where were we?" >AJ: "We was talking about how you stampeded that there guy." "Like I said, I thought he was going to hurt you." >AJ: "That still don't explain why he knew mah name." "I seriously couldn't tell you how he knew AJ, either a lucky guess or he's a mind reader." >PP: "Like me!" >Yes pinkie, like you. >AJ just stares you down like one of those western movies. >You're simply not in the mood for this shit today, so you shoot her a calm look back, unflinching. >She tries to read through your lies but fails in the attempt. >AJ: "We're still going to hot topic." "Fine, let's go right now." >You get up from your seat. >The others just watch the two of you exchange glances. >Their not sure what to think, or say. >Rainbow is the most concerned of all. >She know's something is up with anon. >You lead the mane 6 to the place you basically just robbed. "Go ahead, take a gander." you say calmly. >You hear cell phone go off somewhere in the store. >It's coming from behind the counter. >While the girls are looking around, you go back over to the unconscious brownie and take the phone out of his pocket. >You hit answer. >"Dude! The mane six are REALLY here! You have to help me find them! I got tackled by some jackass that told me to stay away from him, fuck that." >This little shit.. >You whisper into the phone. "What did I tell you would happen if you didn't stay away from these girls." >The voice goes quiet on the other line. >"Y-you?!" "I will murder each and every one of you if you try that, I've been meaning to expand my trophy case lately." >"I'm still getting my friends and we'll find you and those girls!" he shouts. >You hang up the phone and walk over to the girls. "So you see anything you like?" >R: "These fashion designs are simply HORRID, I will not waste my time even touching them." >AJ: "Ah don't see anything either, guess that guy was full of it.." >Phew.. "Well then, are we set to go? I think I just want to go home and watch movies for the rest of the night." >RD: "I like the sound of that idea." she smiles. "C'mon." >You lead the girls out of the store and make way towards the exit where you came in. >Making it to the door, you see a reflection in the glass. >There's a massive group of people coming this way. >and they're all wearing fedoras and pony merch. >You metaphorically put a gun to your head and pull the trigger. >Quickly you head out the door with the girls. >Speed walking to your car, the girls are trying to keep up. >You go to open the car door, but drop your keys. >Fuckfuckfuck. >Scrambling to grab them you fumble over them and use the wrong key. "Cooome ON!" >You find the right key and unlock the door. "Get it." You say in a commanding tone. >The girls are reluctant but get in anyways. >You start the engine and peel out. >Then the mob blocks your exit from the car. >Thankfully you're far enough away where you can't make out what's on their shirts. >You think this will stop you? Standing in my way? >Fat fucking chance. >You push down on the gas pedal. >RD: "Anon.." >She says concerned. >TS: "What are you doing?!" "Their in my way, so I'm making them move." >Let's see if these fuckers like playing chicken. >You hit 70 mph just as you're closing in on the wall of autists. >They dive out of the way at the last moment as you drift around the corner and hightail it down the street. >RD: "Okay Anon, now I KNOW something is definetly wrong.. you better start talking." >You look at dash with guilt on your face. >She frowns a little. >RD: "Anon.. please tell me what's wrong." >You try and form words but nothing comes out of your mouth. >You want to tell them.. but you can't sum up the words to do it. >Then you notice something in your rear view mirror >You take a closer look. >..Seriously? >There's an entire convoy of prius's behind you. >All blaring their horns. >Do these faggots ever give up? >You look at dash. "I'm sorry but this is gonna really have to wait." >You look up at the mirror again, this time the girls see what you see. >TS: "Anon, why are there other cars chasing us?" "They won't be for long." >You tighten your grip on the steering wheel. "Hang on." >Stomping on the gas pedal you hit speeds that would get anyone pulled over in an instant. >Hitting 90 mph you dodge various oncoming traffic in attempts to get away from the neckbeard convoy. "These guys are the worse kind of people, I will NOT let them get their hands on you girls." >The girls, obviously, are confused because they still have no fucking idea what's going on. >You take a sharp left and double back where you came. >You see the convoy pass by from the other street you're on. >You find the nearest alleyway and park deep within it. >You shut off the engine and get out of the car. >Putting your hands behind your head you start walking around in circles. >Contemplating what the fuck you're going to tell the girls. >The girls get out and stand there with you. >RD: "Anon, you're making me worry." she pouts. >AJ: "Why are them people followin' us?!" >TS: "Something just doesn't add up.." >Your hands drop to your side and you take a deep, deep breath. >You look at the girls, and then dash. "I-I'm sorry." you say, trying to keep yourself from choking up. >RD: "Sorry for what!" "There's no easy way to say this.." >You gulp. "But half the world knows who you girls are." >They all stand there for a moment and let that sink in.. >TS: "H-how is that even possible?" she says, confused >Taking one last look at dash you lower your head in guilt.   >You just hope the universe doesn't implode for saying this.. "There's a television show.." >They lean in. "That just so happens.. >They're inching close to you, expecting an answer. "...To have you as it's stars." >All: "Huh?!" "It's called My Little Pony: Friendship is magic." >The girls are speechless. >TS: "Okay now I know you're joking anon.. Right? haha..?" >You remain silent and stare at your shoes. >RD: "A-anon..? is this true?" "...Yes." >Dash gets angry and stomps over to you standing face to face. >RD: "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THIS BEFORE!" >She's beating you on your chest with her fists.. >RD: "So we're just some sideshow act?! How long have you known about this!" >She continues to beat on you. >You still remain silent looking away. >You can't look her in the eyes.. you're too scared. >RD: "Look at me.. I said look at me!" >She grabs you by your chin and pulls you to face her. >RD: "Why.." >You choke up, you never wanted this, you never wanted them to find out. >But here you are, caught in that very trap. >RD: "Tell me!" >You feel yourself becoming angry. "BECAUSE I WANTED TO PROTECT YOU." >You shout at the top of your lungs. >Dash steps back a bit at your outburst, the girls too. "Do you know what would have happened if I told you? There could have been a great risk in doing that." >You pace back and forth. "For all I know the universe could have just vanished if I told you, you could have gotten hurt or worse! and I DIDN'T WANT THAT." You snap at the girls. >You can see dash on the verge of tears. >Walking up to you, you grab her and pull her into a hug. "..And because most of all, I love you dash... a-and I'm sorry.. I had to protect you girls from the truth." >AJ steps in. >AJ: "So those guys back there.." "They're fans of the show.. and you." >Applejack seems mortified at the statement and visibly shudders. >You walk off clutching your head, on the verge of tears, not from being sad. >But for being angry at yourself. "I.. I had to protect you from the truth.." >You look back at the girls. "I'm so sorry.." >You turn around and start walking away. >Dash runs up and grabs your wrist. >RD: "You're not going anywhere." >You look down at her, anger still present on her features. "Let go dash.." >RD: "No!" "I've probably just ruined the friendship we've all built over the past couple of days, I really doubt you want anything to do with me." >You break your wrist free from her grip and continue to walk off. >This time dash tackles you and pins you to the ground. >RD: "What part of you're not going anywhere did you not understand?" "I've pretty much lied to all your faces and you still want me here? WHY!?" >Dash smacks the shit out of you. >RD: "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, YOU BIG IDIOT." "W-what?" >RD: "Yeah you lied to us, yes I'm very angry at you for hiding the truth from us, but I still love you and appreciate all you've done.." >AJ: "Shoot if I didn't know any better I'd say we'd be completely up the creek without a paddle if it weren't for you Anon." >TS: "You've brought us all together when we needed each other the most!" >FS: "And we're v-very grateful for that.." >R: "You're quite the friend Anon." >PP: "And we'll never leave your side!" >Okay now you're confused. "I don't deserve your friendships.. let alone your compassion." >RD: "Stop putting yourself down!" "No! I feel as if I've committed the worst act a man can ever commit and it hurts me so much because.." >RD: "Because why?" "I-I'm afraid to lose you.." >A single tear runs down your cheek. >Dash gets off of you and allows you to stand up. >She then quickly wraps her arms around you and squeezes tightly. >You return the hug in full force. >RD: "You're not going to get rid of me and my friends so easily, egghead." she says as tears stream down her face. >This would be a happy moment if you didn't smell something.. odd in the air. *sniff sniff* >You break the hug with your dash and continue sniffing the air. "Do.. you girls smell that?" >They all sniff in the air. >RD: "I don't smell anything anon." >You walk out into the street look both ways. >Huh.. nothing. >You could have sworn you smelt something.. >Turning around you walk back into the alley. >Until.. >*THWACK* >Something hard strikes the back of your head. >You fall down onto your knees, everything in your vision fuzzy. >RD: "A-anon..?" >"Hello there girls.." >A singular neckbeard stands infront of the alleyway, 2x4 in hand. >"It's a shame it had to come to this.. I didn't want to hurt your friend.." he say's as he kicks you in your side. *cough* "Y-you fucking cunt." >"C'mon boys! We have a convention to get too!" >Neckbeards flood the alleyway and start picking up the girls one by one. >R: "Let go of me you heathens! >AJ: "Why I 'oughta buck you all senseless!" >FS: "P-please stop!" >TS: "Let go of me!" >PP: "Anon help us!" "GIRLS!" >The 2x4 strikes you in your ribs. >The air gets knock out of your chest and you keel over in pain. >The neckbeards pile the girls into their cars and start talking off. >RD: "ANOOON!" "D-dash!" you reach out with your hand but she's way too far for your reach. >The ringleader walks back over to you. >"Like I said, I didn't want it to have to come to this.." >He kicks you in the face and you collapse to the ground, beaten. >"See ya later prick." >He hops in his prius and takes off, following the convoy of cheering brownies. >And here you lay, helpless and defeated on the ground.
