>It's another lovely day in Ponyville. >The birds are happily chirping, animals are frolicking in the woods, and ponies everywhere are laughing and chatting as they go on about their days. >When you first arrived you lived in Canterlot Palace under the close and watchful eye of the royal sisters. >You got along wonderfully with Princess Luna, as she was a fellow night owl..err pony. >However Princess Celestia was less comfortable around you. >Something about bipedal creatures being vomited out of portals and sailing through the air into royalty tends to put ponies on edge you guess. >Princess Luna found it hilarious though. >When Princess Celestia felt you weren't the latest in a string of world-ending disasters she assigned you to live in Ponyville. >It's just too busy and noisy. >You hate it. >That's why you chose to live on the furthest possible edge of town instead. >When you requested that you be allowed to build a cabin on the edge of the nearby forest Princess Celestia looked at you funny. >She asked you if you were crazy, but eventually relented when you insisted that you were uncomfortable surrounded by so many ponies. >Sure you're sociable enough with the few ponies you see when you head into town for supplies, but you just can't deal with that all day everyday. >Because you live so close to the Everfree forest you can count on one hand the number of times you've received visitors and that's just the way you like it. >So when you hear a knock on your door early one morning you're caught by surprise. >Getting up from your comfy chair by the fireplace you pull your blanket around your shoulders and go to see whose bothering you so early in the day. >Pulling open the door to the cabin you are greeted by a purple pony with a red mane and a broken horn. "Uhh... hi?" >The purple pony looks up at you, clearly uncomfortable, and stands up straighter. >"Mr. Anonymous?" "The one and only." >You tap your foot, annoyed at the interruption. "Now more importantly what do you want at this hour?" >"My name is.." >The pony stops mid sentence and looks at the ground. >Nuh-uh. You don't have time for this kind of stuff. "Your name is... what exactly?" >Taking a deep breath, the pony looks up continues. >"My name is F-Fizzlepop and Princess Celestia has assigned me to guard you. "Wut?" >Fizzlepop looks around nervously before repeating herself. >"I said my name is Fizzlepop and Princess Celestia has ordered me to stay here as your guard." "No, I heard you just fine. I want to know what you're talking about." >"The princess told me that as part of my ...rehabilitation I'll have to stay here and keep you safe." "Tell you what, the next time you see the princess I want you to deliver a message for me." >"Umm... I don't quite know when I'll be seeing her again but alright." >You look down at the strange pony who interrupted your quiet for a moment then promptly shut the door in her face. >Before you can turn and walk back to your chair Fizzlepop starts banging on the door again. >Ripping the door open you glare at the annoying pony. "What do you want now?" >"Please Mr. Anonymous, the princess said I needed to do this." "She did huh? Too bad." >"But-" >You put your hand over her mouth silencing her. "Look fizzy or whatever." >"Mph" "I've got nothing against you personally, but I just don't deal with other people." >Fizzlepop stares at you with a strange mixture of emotions on her face. "Or in your case ponies I suppose." >She takes a step back and sits down on your doorstep. "What are you doing?" >"I was told to guard you and so I'm going to do just that." >Angry now, you thrust your finger in the direction of the sun hanging high overhead. "Do you see that? That is the friggin sun!" >Surprised by your sudden shouting Fizzlepop takes a step back. >"I-I don't know what that has to do with me guarding you." "The fact that the sun is so high means that it's day time now." >"Err.. yes, That's right." >You put your hand on your forehead and then sigh. "I sleep during the day. >"That's a little odd, but... okay." "You don't get it do you." >"I think I do." "That means when I step away from this door I'm going to bed." >"I can change my sleep cycle to match yours if need be." >You slam the door shut and walk away, ignoring the shouts of protest from your annoying guest. >"I'm going to stay here all night if I have to!" >Laying in bed, you pull the covers up to your chin and nestle into your pillow. >You drift off into an uneasy sleep thinking about Fizzlepop. >Some time has passed and night has fallen upon Ponyville. >Rising from your slumber you stretch and pull yourself slowly out of the bed to do your daily ritual of the three S's. >Shave, shower, and shit. >Feeling clean and fresh, you step out of the shower and dry yourself off. >You hear a chorus of howls from the edge of the forest. >Shaking your head, you pull on your bathrobe and make your way to the front door. >You keep a lumber axe near the front door for the times you have to remind the Timberwolves who owns this land. >Wolves or not, they're just wood and burn the same as any other lumber. >You hear another howl much closer this time. >Axe in hand, you hesitate before opening the door. >She wouldn't really stay on your door step all day. >There's no way. >Right? >The howls are practically right outside your door this time. >However this time the howling is accompanied by a distinctly feminine scream. "Fuck!" >Ripping open the door, you hoist your axe and charge.
