>>9894Thank you. ^^
>>9890"Safe? When is PONYVILLE ever, in danger?" asked the mare who hadn't challanged you to a hoof-wrestle.
Now that Nonny had gotten a better look of her, she had a mole on her cheek and she had short mane split in two colors, one cyan and one blue. And the other one had a short blond mane. Nonny decided to designate her 'Featherweight' in her head and not-'Featherweight', 'Not' for short, for the other one.
Nonny gestured in a direction in which she had seen the sprawling massive forest close-by.
"How about the creatures of the Everfree? Aren't they a threat?" Nonny asked, while climbing out of the chariot.
'Featherweight' replied with an angry voice, "That's like a mile away and nopony is dumb enough to go in there."
Nonny stretched out her back, leaning to one side then the other.
"None of the creatures wander out of the Everfree?" Nonny wondered aloud while releasing a small moan as felt her tendons ease up with her stretching.
"No. They keep to the forest. Creatures of the Everfree are afraid to wander outside since us pegasi control the weather here," said Not.
"Yeah! They know not to mess with us!" added Featherweight with bravado.
Nonny grinned at that and gave Featherweight a sly-eye.
"I see," Nonny said in jovial tone. "How about crimes then? I suppose Ponyville is a den of theives and villainy?"
"Ha!" exclaimed Not, "Ponyville doesn't even have a sheriff."
Nonny put her arm behind her head and pushed it's elbow and there was a satisfying crack from her shoulder.
"None at all? Do they not have crimes?" Nonny asked, flipped her hand on its back, before pointing at Not. "How do you know this anyway? Aren't you from Canterlot?"
Not sighed and shook her head. Featherweight grinned at this reaction, encouraging her friend to let this none-pony have it.
"Ugh! Aren't you part of the royal guards as well? That's what we were told." She narrowed her eyes at Nonny. "Ponyville is a prime example of 'No-Law Zone'. Since it doesn't really have any crimes, Princess Celestia has granted the area free-reign. They teach you this at the academy."
"Haha. You don't even know," Featherweight laughed but there was an undertone anger beneath it.
"Well, I wasn't at the academy for long, so I might have missed it," Nonny said as she gently stretched did some neck stretch exercises.
Not glared at her.
"Yeah. I bet!" she said, then she mumbled out. "Disgusting."
Nonny smiled and raised an eyebrow at that.
Nonny gestured the only building in the circular town square. It was a wooden tower.
"Is that town hall?" Nonny asked.
"No. It's the barn of Sweet Apple Acres," Not replied sarcastically and rolled her eyes. "Idiot."
Featherweight roared in laughter. She had to steady herself, or maybe pretended to have to steady herself, by grasping the chariot with her wings.
This made Not glow up. She was clearly bolstered by her friend's endorsement.
Nonny chuckled as well. In fact soon the mares ceased to smile as Nonny had joined in on their laughter.
"You're so cute!" Nonny said, then she did a one-eighty, proceeded to walk towards the 'obvious' town hall, and made gesture for the two ponies to follow. "Well, come along."
"What?" Not asked, incredulously.
Nonny turned back to the pair.
"You need to come with me to the town hall." Nonny's facial expression seemed to say, 'Duh.'
"No, we don't," interjected Featherweight. "Our orders were to fly you to Ponyville square. That's it. You're on your own."
Nonny smirked and pulled back her sick oak-brown cloak's hem. Attached on her tank-top she wore underneath, was a golden emblem of stylized sun. It was pretty fancy.
Not leaned back from it with eyes like saucers.
"Wwwhat?!" Featherweight cried out. "That has to be fake. You can't be..."
Nonny removed it from her shirt and brought it up to her mouth. She bit into the gleaming gold sigil.
"Taste like success," Nonny said and reached it out to Not. "What do you think? Is it real?"
Not grabbed it with her wings. As she inspected it, her teeth began to clench. She gave it back to Nonny.
"Satisfied?" asked Nonny with a Pepe smile.
Not's fighting spirit bounced back.
"Tch. Just because its real doesn't mean that it's yours. You could have stolen it for all we know." said Not.
Featherweight nodded along and said, "Yeah."
Nonny paused nad looked directly at Featherweight.
"Yeah," Nonny said mockingly.
Featherweight blushed. Nonny stuck out her tongue. But Not wasn't gonna let Nonny bully her friend an stepped forward, wings stretched out.
"Regardless, why would we need to follow you in there for? Need help in the restroom?" Not asked.
And it seemed like a weight had been removed from Featherweight's heart and gloating smile returned with a vengeance.
"Yes. I need help wiping my ass. Could you lick it clean?" Nonny said and start to lap up something invisible in the air.
