private Close Encounters of the Past (Private with Dynamo Pad)

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

At the mention of him wanting to know these creatures, Dynamo nodded and stayed quiet to listen. As Scarlet described what Plot Holes were, Dynamo raised an eyebrow as that did sound confusing and crazy, in a way. "So they're basically shadow creatures that can change appearance in looks, or something along those lines? I'm guessing it's better to ignore the Plot Holes so you don't get captured. Is there any way in stopping them?" He wondered as Pinkie chimed in on explaining Plot Holes. He didn't get an answer right away, while the female rabbit had gone on to talk about the Rake. He didn't really understand about the Rake, but Gentle's eyes widened slightly. "A Skinwalker? I've heard about those." She says, causing Dynamo to look at her in surprise. "You know about some of this mom?" Gentle nodded slightly as she knew she had to explain. "I don't know that much, but I remember hearing the name from some show once. I believe it was called Ghost Adventure. It's about these four guys, who go to certain areas in the world. They try to discover ghosts that live in a house or amusement part. They also try to figure out things that just can't be explained. I remember they talked about Skinwalkers and Navajo warriors."

@Dynamo Pad

Scarlet nods "Mm, that's a fun show, a bit more credible than Most Haunted, that's for sure" she says and nods "Yes, you don't want to keep noticing Plot holes and then looking into them" she says but then looks to everyone "The legend is that Skinwalkers are Navajo shapeshifting witches..that is all we know, as the Navajo are pretty secretive about their lore and history" she says, finishing her dinner "Mm, that was delicious, thanks mrs Step and mom"

@Scarlet Rose

Gentle smiled as she nodded at Scarlet's statement. "You can say that again, Scarlet. I just love it when Zak and Aaron freak out over certain moments with the spirits." She says, Dynamo frowning slightly. "I remember my mom wanted me to try and watch that show. Don't get me wrong. I think it's interesting. It's even crazy how certain things like door closing or anything random goes on. I just don't like how my mom laughs at some things that I see are serious." Gentle shook her head and smiled softly. "It's just a show and I'm laughing at their reactions, honey." Dynamo shrugged his shoulders as he could only nod in understanding. "I know and I think their reactions are funny at times. I just feel like the laughter is more directed at the spirits. Seeing as how I believe in spirits." He says, looking back to the female rabbit with a nod.

"Thanks for the warning. I guess I'll have to ask how do you spot the difference with Plot Holes. I know you told me that their outfits can change, but I'm guessing there might be an easier way to notice?" He asks, before listening to Scarlet's explanation of the Skinwalkers. "I remember hearing about that when watching that episode with mom. It seemed like that was all Zak, Aaron and the others knew, as well. I guess it's because it's a land less traveled. That, and/or there must secrets that are meant to be kept secret, or something along those lines." He says, finishing the rest of his dinner. "That was a great pot roast. Thank you so much for dinner mom. Thank you, as well, Miss Devin."

[Sphinx-Ara 3,571]

@Dynamo Pad

Scarlet gently holds Dynamo's hand as she was growing a little concerned "That was just an example of what a plot hole could be dear, there are more serious, more obvious ones. For example, you could see a friend die right in front of you, and then the next day, they're at school, alive" she says and closes her eyes "Look, later, I'll show you a creepy pasta on the internet regarding them, but that's as much as I'd want you to look into them" she says but then laughs at what Mrs Step said about the show "I hate to say it though, some of those reactions are staged. Sure, less fake than in Most Haunted, but some of it is still fake"

Devin nods "You're welcome dear and I agree with Scarlet dear, as tempting as it may be to research such things, it is best left to professionals, or for them to be left alone all together"

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

Dynamo looked to Scarlet as he noticed that she held his hand, while having a look of concern on her face. He paled slightly as he listened to the female rabbit's more in depth explanation of Plot Holes. "I guess that means that the real one is gone, while the Plot Hole took the victim's place." He sighed as he shook his head. "I guess we'll be getting into cases and creatures that are more fearsome than some imagine. It's good to know about all of this. I wouldn't want you, Starlight or anyone else to get hurt, or something along those lines." He says, before nodding at the plan for watching a creepy pasta video. "I've heard about those. I've seen my fair share of those stories when it come to Pokemon. Some are just plain creepy, while some are just heartbreaking."

Gentle frowned slightly and nodded in understanding. "That makes perfect sense since it's just a show. I can't help, but laugh at the reactions. Even when some things just happen out of nowhere. I can't help in thinking to be interesting." She says as Dynamo nods at Miss Devin's remark. "You're right, but I guess it depends on which case she'll get. Some things are meant to be left in the unknown, but sometimes it's not. I guess it all depends on what the future holds." He says, squeezing Scarlet's paw to help reassure her. "For now, I think it's time to have ourselves a video game, anime and movie pun marathon. Are you all in agreement?" He asks, while turning to Scarlet, Pinkie and Cheese. 

[Sphinx-Ara 3,571]

@Dynamo Pad

Scarlet smiles and nods "You're spot on" she says and then gets up as both Pinkie and Cheese get up as well. "Dinner was yummy, thank you mrs Step and Mrs Devin" Pinkie says with a giggle, just as Scarlet got a call on her phone "Excuse me guys, this is important" she says as she goes to the living room and begins to talk "Wait..are you saying? You caught the culprits and it's all stopped? the missing children have been found and returned to their families? So then, the case is closed?" she asks and nods "Alright, thank you sir, this means a lot to me, also I think you knew this, that this was my last case before I retired, okay, see you tomorrow. Thank you again, have a pleasant night" she smiles and hangs up, hopping around happily. 

As she sees Dynamo come in to check on her, she gives him a big, tight hug and kisses him right on the mouth "It's all over! It's all over! I can relax!" she giggles and then puts him down to continue hopping around like a kit.

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

Dynamo grins and chuckles. "At least I was on the right track. Sometimes, I think I know what I'm doing, then the idea completely goes in the wrong direction on a tangent." He chuckles, getting up out of his seat, before pushing the chair in. "Dinner was amazing. Thank you, Miss Step and Miss Devin. Pinkie and I should make delicious treats next time. Especially if we are going to throw a party soon. Seeing how our friends became a couple and had a reunion." He says, before hearing Scarlet's phone ringing. Dynamo nodded as she left the room to take the call. "I wonder who was calling at this hour. Maybe it was something really important." He wondered as she suddenly returned and hopped around the living room.

Dynamo had gone into the room to check on her, but was picked up and pulled into a tight hug and kiss. He soon returned the embrace and kiss as his feet were put on the ground. He had a look of confusion upon his face as he wondered what had just happened. He was about to ask, but was quickly given the answer of her case being cancelled. "Are you saying that we don't have to do the case now!?" He grinned as she continued to hop around in glee. He chuckled as he remembered an earlier time of the same kind of reaction. "This reminds me of when we were little. You were always so full of energy and you picked me up and spun me around. Even the hug was the same. I sometimes forget that you're very strong. I'm so happy to hear that you don't have to worry about the case. I can't believe the culprits were caught and the children were found and returned." He grinned as he pulled the female rabbit into another tight hug. "Sounds like our marathon has a new meaning now. A time to celebrate that this case is now over."

[Sphinx-Ara 3,571]

@Dynamo Pad

Scarlet giggles as she begins to wind down and nods "Yes dear, it does mean we don't have to worry about the case anymore. Everything has been sorted out, the children have been found and returned to their families, the owners of the Night Circus have been arrested as part of a pony trafficking and a lot more nasty things" she says and kisses him once more "And yeah, I was always a bit stronger than I give myself credit for. Anyway, let us kick off this marathon with something awesome, I was thinking, Card Captor Sakura, it's a great classic, has a number of puns in it, and I remember it being one of our favorites as kids."

Pinkie smiles "and you know, our little Cupcake can enjoy that particular anime with us while curled up with Chocolate and Milkshake, right Cheese Doodle?" she asks with a grin.

Scarlet smiles "also means, mo work for me, as that was to be my last and final case before retiring"

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

Dynamo smiles as she gave a rundown of how the case was solved. "I'm glad to hear that the Night Circus group was put behind bars. I know towns might be a little shaky after everything that had happened. Although, everything will be back to normal in no time. As normal as our town can get." He chuckled as he returned the kiss. "I have no complaints. I thought it was cool to know that you were strong. It made me feel reassured that you could take care of yourself when I wasn't there at times." He says, nodding with a enthusiastic grin at the choice in anime. "I love that anime. I remember we used to watch Card Captor Sakura back on Toonami. The dubbing had some cringe moments, but it wasn't too bad. I know they have a new dubbed version, so that's something to look into. That, and they came out with a new series. The Clear Card arc. I've always wanted to watch it, but it didn't feel the same without you. So, I chose to wait, until you came back someday. I guess that day is today." 

As he and Pinkie joined the couple in the living room, Cheese nods wholeheartedly at the idea. "I've heard about that anime going around other towns. It's child friendly, but has some odd magic to the series. So, it's something that our little Cupcake can watch." He smiles with a chuckle about Chocolate and Milkshake. "Of course they can join us, my cotton candy. I think Cupcake will adore being cuddled with Milkshake."

At the mention of retiring, Dynamo looked at her with a smile and surprised expression. "So, that means that you'll be here to stay. That means we can finally be together as you're staying in Ponyville." He says, taking her paws into his hands. 

[Sphinx-Ara 3,571]

@Dynamo Pad

Scarlet nods and smiles as she helps bring the dishes to the kitchen "Yes dear, it does mean we can finally be together and I am fully moving here. It does mean i will have to go to Manehatten to get my things and to officially resign from the agency, but I will be moving her permanently" she says, beginning to wash the dishes and smiles "And i wanted to wait to see if we would ever see each other again to watch the Clear Arc as well" 

"I think she has already found the  fluffiness of the big fluffmountainous dog known as Chocolate and the small fluff ball known as Milkshake" Pinkie giggles "and it is quite the adorable sight" she says, going over to help with the dishes.

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

Dynamo grins as he helped bring some of the dishes to the kitchen sink. "I guess it must feel great to finally be moving back here." He says, taking notice of her mentioning Manehatten. "You have to go to Manehatten? I'm guessing that's where you were living for the past few years? Would you like for me to go with you to get your stuff? Maybe we can go sight seeing or take a somewhat mini vacation." He suggested, nodding as she said she would need to resign from the agency. As the female rabbit washed the dishes, he wanted to walk over and help. However, he stopped as he saw Pinkie was helping out. "I'm glad you wanted to wait on watching the anime. I guess there were some traditions that could never fade away."

Cheese walked into the living room as he heard Pinkie's statement. What he saw had almost made his heart melt. Dynamo raised an eyebrow and followed Cheese, before seeing what the pink mare was talking about. Sitting on the couch was Cupcake, who was being sandwiched by both Chocolate and Milkshake. "Oh, that is just so precious. I can tell that Milkshake and Chocolate adore her." He says, Dynamo chuckling in agreement. "You can say that again, Cheese." He says, not realizing that Cheese might have taken that seriously. "Oh, that is just so precious. I can tell that Milkshake and Chocolate adore her." Dynamo gave a dry chuckle, while having a deadpanned expression. "Uh...I wasn't being serious about that, Cheese. Although, you're right. Both Milkshake and Chocolate love to cuddle up with those they trust. I guess that Cupcake really has taken a liking to the both of them."

[Sphinx-Ara 3,571]

@Dynamo Pad

Scarlet smiles and looks over to see the young filly cuddled up with her beloved pets and d'aaws over it "That is indeed adorable" she says and then turns her attention to Dynamo and nods "My agency and office is based in Manehatten, so yes, i had been living there the last few years" she says and then smiles "And that'd be wonderful, though I don't really wanna stick around there too long" she says as she finishes the dishes and goes over to Dynamo, hugging him "And yeah, there are just some traditions I do not want to bend" she says "I  remember, we told each other, that if there was ever a redub or another series coming out for that particular anime, we would watch it together."

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

Dynamo glanced behind him to see Scarlet and Pinkie had entered the living room. He chuckled at her reaction and nods in agreement. He turns around and began to listen to the female rabbit talk about the agency. "I'm guessing that this agency isn't just based in Manehatten, but most, if not, then all around Equestria? That does explain how you told me a good amount of info about the town. Including the whole road rage and traffic." He chuckled slightly, smiling as she agreed to the idea. At the mention of not staying in that town for long, he raised an eyebrow as he returned the hug. "Oh yeah? Why do you say that? Want to feel more at home here, or do you not want us to experience the legend of the bad traffic?" He chuckled once more at his terrible joke, before nodding at her remark. "I remember we couldn't believe the dub had ended differently than the Japanese version. Afterwards, we had to look up some differences and read the manga. I think we heard rumors of a new series, but then you moved away. I guess the timing couldn't be better to see the new Cardcaptor Sakura anime."

[Sphinx-Ara 3,571]

@Dynamo Pad

Scarlet chuckles and nods "It's kind of fifty, fifty really" she says, kissing his cheek "I really want to settle down here, and I also don't look forward to having to deal with the traffic back there" she chuckles and nods "I also remember that we had to do that sometimes, as the anime sometimes seemed to skip ahead of the manga. Such was the case with Black Cat" she says, finding the bluray and putting it into their Playstation 4, waiting for the others to get ready.

Pinkie had just put a blanket over her filly as she then settles into a snuggle with Cheese. 

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

Dynamo chuckles and nods as his assumption was correct. "I understand and I don't blame you. I think that's good that you want to settle down back home. Maybe perhaps we can plan a vacation for us and/or our mom's in the future." He says, his eyes widening slightly at the mention of the other anime. "I've heard of Black Cat. I think that sometimes some anime had caught up to their manga, so they had to make alternate stories. Even when the anime ends differently to what the manga originally intended. Such was the case for Full Metal Alchemist, which then had to get a reboot to follow the manga." He says, taking a spot in the chair as the female rabbit found the bluray of the anime.

As Cheese took a spot next to Chocolate on the couch, he smiled as Pinkie placed a blanket over Cupcake and the pets. He then wrapped an arm around her as she snuggled up to him. "Are you comfy and ready to enjoy an anime, my cotton candy?" He asks, kissing the top of her head.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,571]

@Dynamo Pad

Scarlet nods "Black Cat was one of the ones that kind of mushed the first couple of books together for the first few episodes of the anime" she says and then smiles "Yes, you're talking about Brotherhood, right?" she asks as she presses play on the controller and munches on a bag of chips as she snuggles up to Dynamo,

Pinkie smiles and snuggles up to Cheese "Mmhm"

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

Dynamo shuddered as he remember how the Black Cat anime was made. "That's not the best way to make an anime. Usually, you have two to three manga chapters made into an episode. Granted, there is filler in some episodes, but still. Even so, to add most of the books into a short anime series? That can either be really good or really bad. I would probably go with the latter option on that one." He says, nodding at her question of the title of the anime. "Eeyup. I have only seen some clips, but Brotherhood felt more of a complete story. That, and there were some moments from the anime that went above and beyond the manga." He says as Scarlet pressed play on the controller. "Oh, yeah. I remember that Fruits Basket was another one of the going on it's own version. I heard they are doing a reboot and this time, it'll follow the entire manga. I'm definitely looking forward to that." He says, eating a bag of chips, while snuggling next to Scarlet.

Cheese smiled and chuckled slightly at Pinkie's remark. "It looks like you took a page from your sister, Marble's book." He says, gasping as he soon realized what he had said. "Pinkie, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to say it like that. I guess I wasn't thinking about what I was saying and wanted to joke, or defuse the situation. I'm really sorry Pinkie." He whispered to her as the anime began to play.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,571]

@Dynamo Pad

Scarlet smiled and gently petted Chocolate as she was listening to Dynamo and the others whens he noticed Pinkie's mood change a little. Pinkie just looks at him "You know why she is like that, those horrible events.." she says "And even when we try to get her with Big Mac, they just kind of..drift apart" she sighs but then she smiles "But hey, we can talk about that later, lets enjoy the night" she says and perks right back up, picking up one of their baked treats and nomming on it "Mm these are good, you guys really ought to try one" she says, as Scarlet smiles and takes one "Don't mind if I do, Dynamo, want one?"

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

Cheese frowned as he felt terrible for bringing something up from the past. "I know and I shouldn't have said anything. I guess I didn't realize as I was trying to lighten the mood." He says, nodding as he remembered Marble with Big Mac. "They seemed to have a good chemistry with each other, but they only drifted apart. I guess that's why I've seen Big Mac with Sugar Belle more often." He says, nodding with a soft smile. "Okay and I'm really sorry, Pinkie. I'll be sure to be more careful in what I say next time." He says, before eating one of the baked treats. Dynamo looked to Scarlet and smiled at the offered treat. "Sure. I'll take a treat." He says, taking one of the treats and humming in delight. "This is really good. Also, you are the two, who made the treats. Of course they are going to be delicious." He chuckled as he turned his attention back towards the anime. 

[Sphinx-Ara 3,571]

@Dynamo Pad

Pinkie just smiles "Don't worry about it Cheese, we will talk about it later, but now isn't the best time" she says as she watches the anime on the TV, while cuddling up to Cheese and gently petting Milkshake who was curled in between her and Cupcake, "and well, the Cakes did help with baking them, but thanks, I am quite proud of how these turned out" she says with a smile and looks down to Cupcake, who just yawns rather cutely, looks up at everyone and opens her mouth "D-D..." she says, and everyone looks at her, expecting her to say Daddy, but nope, "Dynamo" she says cutely, before curling up against Chocolate and Milkshake again.

Scarlet gasps a little "O-oh t-that was so adorable, b-but I hope that wasn't her first word" she says and Pinkie just giggles "Well, actually it was, but it's okay, I keep telling Cheese how Dynamo has the sort of personality that just helps ponies to like him, and well.." she looks to Cheese and smiles "I guess now is as good a time as any" she says and smiles "We were hoping you two would be her legal guardians, should anything happen to us"

Scarlet beams "Oh Pinkie, of course we'd love to!" she hugs her.

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

Cheese could only smile and nod in agreement. "Yeah. You're right. Now's not the time to think of the past. Now is the time to enjoy the good times. Especially if it's to be spending time with great friends." He says as he continued to cuddle next to Pinkie. Dynamo chuckled as he nodded at Pinkie's statement. "That's true and the Cakes do an amazing job with making treats. It's no wonder why I never get tired of getting treats from Sugarcube Corner." He says, taking another bite of the snacks he took. As everyone had looked to Cupcake, Dynamo gasped slightly as Cupcake had said his name. "Oh, wow. I thought she was going to say daddy or even mommy right after. I didn't think she would say my name. I'm sorry if her first word was my name." He says, giving Pinkie and Cheese an apologetic look. 

Cheese could only chuckle and shake his head. "Oh, don't worry about that. While it would have been nice if it was mommy and daddy. I can see why she would say your name, Dynamo. It's just like what Pinkie said. You and Scarlet always have that personalities that makes the world go round." At the mention of being Cupcakes legal guardians, Dynamo gasped and smiled softly. "I would be honored to be Cupcakes godfather. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you, Pinkie and thank you, Cheese." He says, hugging Pinkie, before going over to hug Cheese. "You're welcome and it's no problem. We couldn't think of anyone better to be there for our little Cupcake."

[Sphinx-Ara 3,571]

@Dynamo Pad

Scarlet smiles as she gently pets Cupcake's mane before hugging Dynamo close "Yes, thank you, we are both honored to be named her godmother and godfather" she says and returns her attention to the anime "But you two know, the world wouldn't be the same if we were without our Super Part Planning Ponies" she says and then just at that moment Keroberos says something funny "Alright everyone, you know the drill, a pun was used, so down the hatch"

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

Dynamo smiles as he saw Scarlet gently pet Cupcake's mane, before returning the hug. "You're welcome and it's no problem. Pinkie had always told me stories of how close you two were. We hope that you would return someday, so we would have the chance to ask you about that. We feel happy and secure, while knowing that our Cupcake is safe with the two of you." He says, chuckling as he nodded at her remark. "There's no need to worry about anything. We have no intention of anything happy to Pinkie or I. The two of us are the true super party planning ponies. It's our jobs to help plan parties and make other smile." He says as he returned his attention to the anime. Dynamo chuckles as he nods in agreement to the female rabbit's statement. "There it is. We've reached the first pun of the night. Here's to an amazing and epic video game and pun marathon." He says, before taking a drink of his cola beverage. 

[Sphinx-Ara 3,571]

@Dynamo Pad

Scarlet grins and downs a concoction of mixed sodas, "Argh, the taste of memories!" she gasps, pulling a face and places the cup down "And I'm glad you two aren't planning on going anywhere" she says to Pinkie and Cheese Sandwich, "Little Cupcake needs her parents around" she says, returning her attention to the anime, smiling as Cupcake had decided to crawl into her lap. 

[Dynamo Pad 11,379]

@Scarlet Rose

Dynamo winces as he finished his drink of Coca-Cola and Sprite. "I have had that cola combination in a long time. I can still remember the taste like it was yesterday. Ah, the nostalgia." He sighs, placing the cup back on the coffee table. He nods in agreement to Scarlet's statement, before turning looking over to Pinkie and Cheese. "I'm glad that you two aren't going anywhere either. Although, if you ever need anyone to watch Cupcake, then let us know. If Scarlet and I aren't busy with a case or out of town, then I think it would be fun to watch Cupcake. It would give her a chance for her to bond with her godparents." He says as Cheese nodded wholeheartedly. "I was just thinking that. There might be a time where Pinkie, myself, or the two of us are out having to plan a party. We'll both let you know ahead of schedule, so we can see if you two could foalsit our Cupcake. I hope that will be okay with the two of you." Dynamo nods before looking down to notice that Cupcake had crawled into Scarlet's lap. "Aw. That's so sweet." He says softly as he gently petted Cupcake's mane.
