The Trotting Dead RP

@,@,

 

Sirius just sat still and watched the transformation take place, curious to know what's going on. After seeing it being complete, she smiled and stood up. "Hey, you guys are like... Half ponies! Teehe~ Daddy, you have ears, and a tail just like, um... I don't know, but it looks quite cute~"

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Missy was sat there, thinking about Stewart. She got up and put on her clothes, then getting ready to go out, even though it was quite late at night, she left into the chilly air, determined to get over to Greta's place. On her way over there, she started remembering the funeral.

 

-Flashback- (Take on your characters during this time)

 

Missy was sat next to Frank on one side and Cara on the other, listening to the priest talking and staring at the coffin.

"I shouldn't have outlived my own child." Missy thought. "I hope Cara feels alright, she hasn't said anything to me the whole time."

(During the flashback?)

Greta lay in bed tiredly, but she was unable to sleep. She stared at the ceiling and sighed before getting out of bed carefully, so not to wake Cara, and went to get a glass of water

 

Cara sat beside Greta, not saying a word. She looked blankly ahead, ignoring anyones attempts to comfort her. Greta had given up on trying to help her, and instead listened to the priest, hoping her sister would come around soon

@,

Both Phil and Ann dropped their forks at the sight of the two. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"S-son... what is this... why have you become... this??" He asked, not moving a single muscle.

Stephan sighed. "Well, dad, mom, when I say I'm away in Florida working, that's not the case." He knows what he's gonna say next will make him sound like a complete nutcase. "I'm in an alternate world where magical talking horses reign supreme. It's called... Equestria."
"T-that's impossible! No world like that could exist!" Ann exclaimed.

"Mom, look at what has just been placed in front of you! Would I lie?"

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Dash gulped.

"I wasn't entirely truthful either, my name isn't Rose, I'm actually a pegasus called Rainbow Dash, that's why little Sirius called me Dashie, it's sort of like a pet name or a nickname or something." Dash said.

 

Missy reached Greta's place, she was cold from the outside, because it was snowing, so she knocked on the door and waited for a reply.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Greta was a little surprised at the knock, but quickly went to answer it. She opened the door and was surprised to see Missy. "Missy! I wasn't expecting you so late, did you walk all the way here? You should have called me, I could have come pick you up" she said, ushering her in and closing the door behind her. "You must be absolutely freezing, do you need a blanket, or maybe some tea?" She asked, helping Missy with her coat

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"Sorry about coming so late, I was having trouble sleeping." Missy said. "I guess you were too, huh?" Missy looked around, the place seemed a lot less happy than usual, though there was a good reason for that. "I guess tea would be a good idea, it's snowing by the way." It was obvious as snow had covered the top of her head.

@,

Stephan nodded and took out the element of loyalty.

"I'm the wielder of this. It's called the element of loyalty." Stephan explained. "It may not look like much, but it holds power, power greater than you can ever imagine. It's what made us into these in the first place. Both me and ash are dual wielders of the element, That's why it changed both of us at the same time."
Phil took the element from Stephan and examined it. "Well... I'll be damned." He muttered. "How did you even get to this world in the first place?"
Stephan told his parents the whole story. How he arrived, his adventures before and during the outbreak, and how Equestria was currently recovering.

"Son... I had no idea you've done so much. And, now you've made friends with the pe- er, I mean, ponies there." Ann said. "I just can't believe it."
 

[Grand_Finale 529]

"Of course, I'll get some tea started right away" she said, putting a kettle on the stove. (That's how you make tea right? I usually get tea from... You know what, never mind) she sat down at the table quietly. "I suppose Frank will be coming over in the morning then. I'm sure I can set something up on the couch, or you can sleep in Caras room" she said, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"Yes, Frank will be coming here tomorrow. And I'm sorry if I woke you up or anything. I just couldn't get to sleep, I just keep on getting the image of the coffin in my head, it just won't leave." Missy sat down across from her at the table. "Remember last week? All I had to worry about was what presents to get people....." Missy sighed. "Life really can just change at the drop of a hat. Can't it?"

[Milk Wave 454]

@, 

 

"I can believe it, because that's how he became my daddy~!" Sirius replied, slightly interrupting the conversation with a smile. "I'm from the pony world, but I didn't change since I didn't touch the element there. I can if you want me to, but I don't know if I can change back~"

[Grand_Finale 529]

" it seems to be life's specialty" she sighed. She went to finish making the tea and put a cup in front of missy. " here you go, nice and warm" she said warmly, sitting down and taking a sip of hers. "I think I have some spare blankets in the closet" she said, walking over to the hall closet and pulled out a quilt

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"Thank you, Greta." Missy took the cup and stared at it for a moment, just taking in the warmth of the tea, then turning back to Greta. "So how is she really? I haven't seen you guys since the funeral, has she been alright, I mean.... has she been eating alright, because people sometimes do that to get over emotional pain."

[Grand_Finale 529]

"Well...I've been getting her to eat more regularly but it still isn't much, and she's already so skinny..." She said, draping the quilt over the couch. "But she's sleeping in my bed, which marks the first time she's left her room for an extended amount of time" grand sighed, running her hands through her hair

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"Well, I'll do anything I can to help her. It's a mother's instinct, to help children and others that need to be helped." Missy took a sip of her tea. "So, I'll just sleep on your couch, I mean, if that's okay, I would go back home but I know you wouldn't let me go outside again in that weather." Missy looked out the window, it was near enough a blizzard now.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Greta looked out the window. "Certainly not, I've got the couch all ready for you anyways" she said, sitting back down. She took a sip of tea. "I just hope she'll come around soon, it's heartbreaking to see her like this" she said, leaning her head in her hand. "But I'm glad your coping so well"

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"Well, I'll be honest, I spent the first day or so, just sitting in my room and crying, but then I realised, that I couldn't let this get me down, and Frank needed me, or he'd probably just go back to being an alcoholic again. You know, he hasn't taken a drink ever since." Missy said. "And I want to help, so I'll think of something I can do."

[Grand_Finale 529]

"Well I hope you can do something because clearly I can't" she said with a sigh, taking a sip of her tea and swirling it around. "I'm glad that Franks gotten his act together. I suppose there's your silver lining" she said with a meek smile. "Do you have pajamas? I can grab you some if you'd like"

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"I'm wearing what I usually wear to bed, didn't bring a scarf or gloves, no wonder it was so cold outside." Missy said, shivering a small bit. "Anyway, I'm sure if I can get her to talk about it, she'll come around, crying is good for you, has she been crying at all? Or has it just been silence?"

@,@@Milk Wave,

Phil sighed and walked up his son.

"Son... this is a very taxing and shocking development that you have... bestowed upon us. A normal person would probably call the military and send you off to be studied. But, since you're still my own flesh and blood... I'm not gonna do that." Phil pulled Stephan in for a man hug. "But, I don't want to see you be taken away. So, here's what I want you to do; sit down and have Christmas dinner. Then, as soon as possible, get back to this other world. Quite honestly... I think that's where you belong." Stephan felt as if he was gonna tear up. He then hugged his father back.

"Will do, Dad. Will do."

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Dash was just left watching the scene develop in front of her, it was always nice when a family could work out a problem, especially one like this, so she sat back down, crossed her arms and looked at the plate. And she sighed.

 

"Anyway, I think I'll be fine for tonight." Missy said, taking another sip of tea.

[Grand_Finale 529]

"She cried at first, but lately it's just been.... Numbness. She walks around like a zombie. I hope she snaps out of it, even just for Christmas. Maybe it will help with you and Frank here" Greta said, resisting a yawn. "Is there anything else you want before bed, something to eat, maybe second blanket?" She asked, putting her cup in the sink

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"No, I'll be fine. I really hope that, in the morning, I can find some way to help her. Maybe I can convince her to open up and talk about it. It might help, I had Frank but he's my husband, maybe she feels she can't talk to you about it, since Stewart put her in danger and she might think that you hold some kind of resentment towards him, and that's completely natural to think that."

@,

(Small time skip)

A few hours passed. The group talked for a while, drank some hot chocolate and watched a Christmas film that Stephan assumed didn't really make sense to Sirius or Dash. After that, the group exited the house, but Stephan was stopped by his Phil

"Son... just know that, no matter what you are, I love you... Be sure to visit often." He said.

"I will, Dad. You and Mom take care of yourselves." He said, giving his father a hug. He then began to walk away from the house with Phil shutting the door behind them.

[Grand_Finale 529]

"Perhaps... It's just difficult is all. But it doesn't matter, I won't burden you with my petty problems. It's getting late anyways, maybe we should try to sleep again" she said, smiling and cleaning up the table. "I'm sure she'll talk to you, or at least someone. At least I hope"
