Equestria! No wait. That's to vage. Baltimare! Just off of HorseShoe Bay and below FillyDelphia. But you would had have to taken to wrong train long ago to realize the difference.

Let's bring this in as close and we can. In a simple clay home lived my mom, One Night. She gave birth to my sister, Slutty Bottom. Our Grandma named her, saying it should have been Mom's name. Then she gave birth to me! I'm named after my father. I guess, never meet the dude.
GramGram is cool, she isn't old so she likes us to call her Miss GramGram. She cooks us dinner when Mom is out working.

So huh, like my house is ok. Just like all the other clay houses. Only we don't have to like share rooms or stuff.

Baltimare gets a lot of tourist ponies. You tend to see Pegasuses and Griffons. They come in on boats from some other Griffon place and there's this building that they do like. Star gazing from. I guess that's cool.

As a filly ya spend most the time out on the beach. I mean, rest of Baltimare is rocks so ya. Bummer.
So I like, go. To school with my sister but huh. She's like older then me. Doesn't want me cramping her style ya know? She be all "Beach Bum, when we got to school don't talk to me. Don't tell Miss GramGram anything you see me do. Got it?" Then she would threaten me but I zone her out by then. Not like I would tell Miss GramGram that Slutty Bottom had the teacher bump her up a grade so she could smoke with some stallion name Hot Shot.

Schools a drag. You have to sit in these weird chairs and write stuff down. But I get to hang with my bronys. Marshmallow, he's a pretty mellow earth pony. Shooting Star, pegsus who's parents work at that Star gazing place. SandShine, she's cool.
What's so not cool is Fire Cracker. That pony has like. Major issues.

Oh and that Filly who has not stop talking even though the teacher said we should not, talk. Her names Whisper. I mean, she's unreal. Like I cough and the teacher gives me some major grief. But she will talk and talk and wow she looks cute today. She's got, a hair thing. For her hair. Bet she got it from her Dad's shop. Oh shellfish! Teacher is looking right at me. Oh no no don't ask me to answer questions. I'm no good at questions!

Everypony is looking at me. And not in the cool way. What do I do? Quick, think of something! Anything!

I open my mussel and it just... comes out. Our teacher nods his head in approval and moves on back up to the chalk board. I'm still sitting scared. That's it?

When the lunch bell rings I'm scared to get out of my seat. Expecting him to call me over with some secret punishment.
I walk out the door and nothing is said. He doesn't even look at me. How did I pull that off? Dude I got to tell the other.

The yard is behind the two buildings. Slutty Bottom has made it clear I'm not to go near the left side of the yard behind the High School. There are benches and beyond that the playground.

"It's ludicrous that the High School and Elementary school are joined like this. Can you imagine doing a project on the Hellenistic astronomy will that." Shooting Star points to the other foals playing. You notice Fire Cracker is under the slide looking suspicious. "Going on outside."
Marshmallow throws his head over SandShine's back and she shrugs him off. "So," He says "This mean you're leaving us for Anchor Elementary?"

I watch as Shooting Star jumps up on to the table flapping her little wings. Anchor School is the nicer school that all the Pegasus and Griffons from that star gazing building go. Her parents sent her to Mackerel Elementary High school instead. Something about "keeping her from being stuck up".
I like our school better. Anchor has three building in different areas. My sister wouldn't be able to walk me to school.

I wonder if I should go play first. Or eat with my friends first?

Not hungry. Not when there's a chance I could talk to Whisper. I ditch my friends and go over to the play ground. Fire Cracker is under the slide doing something I shouldn't get involved with. There she is playing vollyball with some other Foals.

"Hi, Can I join you?" I ask Whisper but she doesn't notice me. Another Foal says sure and throws the ball at me.

I throw the ball back and I'm in! I'm on Whisper's side. This is so sweet! Wow she's pretty today.
"So Beach Bum. You really showed the teacher. You must be really smart."

No I'm not. But should I tell her that?

Ok mussel, don't fail me now.

"ha ha, I know you Beach Bum, your not that smart. That Pegasus must be tutoring you. Is she your special somepony?"

Damn you mussel! Why have you failed me? Now she thinks there's something going on with me and Shooting Star.

"Well, we do study together but she's not my special somepony."

I can tell by the way she's looking at me, that she doesn't believe me. Oh mare, what am I doing?

Abandon ship!

I leave the game and make a mad dash to the picnic bench my friends are eating at. I tell them what happen.

SandShine shakes her head as the others eat. "I could have told you that, Beach Bum. She's nothing but a gossip."

"A gossip?" I look over to Whisper "She doesn't like anything like a Griffon."

SandShine hits her head on the table, that looks like it hurt. "A GOSSIP! Not a GOOSE!"
Marshmallow laughs "heehee... goose. brony she means that Whisper likes to talk about other foals and not always in a good way."

"Not a good way?" I ask

"Ya, She like to butt her mussel in where it don't belong. Talking about rumors and telling things about ponies that she's not suppose to share."

"Like what?" I asked

Marshmallow thinks about this and Shooting Star sighs with a sad look on her face. Strange, her hay and raspberry sandwich looks good.
"She told every pony in our class about me not going to Anchor Elementary."

"What's wrong with that?"

"What's wrong is it's none of everyponies business!" She shouts and so far I don't think I want to get her more angry then she already is.

I take this time to eat my lunch before we have to go back in. I have to hurry because the High School side will come out and my sister might see me. If I break our rules she's going to tell Miss GramGram that I'm not doing good in school. It's true but Miss GramGram doesn't need to know.

We all go back inside and two girls giggle at us. "What's that all about?" Shooting Star questions out loud. I shrug and hurry her inside.
PostPosted: Sun Sep 22, 2013 11:27 pm


Back into these weird chairs.Oh mare, I hope Whisper doesn't talk to Shooting Star. Wait. What am I worried about? Whisper sits in the front of the class and Shooting Star is behind me. There's no way she's going to talk to her.

Why do we have to learn about Marketing? I don't have any bits or gems. This is pointless to me! Just let us go.... plleasssee...

"Any questions? Beach Bum?"

dah! "SIR!?"

"You look like you have a question."

"Ya, When can we go?"

Our teacher glares at me as everyone laughs. Plop. Mussel what happen? You where on it this morning!

I put my pen in my mouth. Damn Whisper is cute when she laughs. Marshmallow nudges me and the teacher turns back to the chalk board. I look over to see he has a piece of paper in his mouth. I take it from him and nudge it open.

B.B.

Brony when did you and Shooting Star become special ponies?! 0_0
I thought I was your boogy buddy? ):
I told you when me and SandShine became special ponies. DX
We could double date, now. wink
You don't have to be the third wheel. :3

M.M.

 
PostPosted: Sun Sep 22, 2013 11:29 pm


What?! Mello has been sitting next to me the whole time. What sound I say? Did he tell SandShine? PLOP! What if SandShine gives Shooting Star a similar note?

I rip out some paper. What do I write? Plop, my writing is plop!
In my worst writing I tell him we are not special ponies and quickly pass it back to him. He reads it then writes back.

He dosn't believe me. My life..... is plop.


We are finally let go of this horrable prision! I don't walk home with my sister. She makes it a rule that I meet her around the corner from our house before dinner. She has better things to do then spend them with me. So do I.

We are let out and all I know is I need to get things straighten out. I could tell Shooting Star that she needs us alone to do earth pony things. But that wouldn't be nice of me. I don't want to hurt her feelings.

"We have to use the little Foals room!" I say grabbing Marshmello by his tail. "Ow. Wooh, what was that all about?"
We are now safe in the Mare's restroom. Why do we call it a restroom? Bathroom I understand. It has a bath in it. But restrooms don't have baths and no one goes in here to rest.

Oh, right. Marshmello. Special Pony. Shooting Star. Whisper.

"Look I'm not Special Ponies with Shooting Star." He tries to laugh me off but I go on. "I was talking to Whisper and she got it in her head that becuase Shooting Star tutiored me that we are SPs now."

"So you are not SPs With SS?"

I put my hoof on his sholder "M.M. if S.S. was my S.P. my B.B. would be the first to hear."

(((OC There is a whole new kind of lango going on around here.)))

"Wow, and everyone thinks you are."

"How did that even happen?!" I shout waving my hooves in the air. Mare, now I really need to rest. How convenant.

"Does SandShine think we are S.P.? Neither of you have talked to Shooting Star have you?"

Marshmello looks to the door "Huuu... not yet but, mare, you left them out there alone. You know how fillies talk."

I do. I live with nothing but fillies. I go flying out the swinning doors and land between our two filly friends.

"Um. Everything ok?" Shooting Star asks me as I lay on my back. "Yes! We where just talking about.... sand! What where you two talking about?"

I grab SandShine "What did you tell her?!"

"Beach Bum why are you acting so abnormal?" Shooting Star ask as I spot my sister coming out of the High school building. Plop. "No reason. Let's go. You walk with me so Marshmello can talk with SandShine."

I can only hope as we walk along the board walk that my boogy buddy is explaining the... the what's that word? Problem that we need to fix.

We past by many ponies and I feel like they are all staring at us. A vender pulling a cart full of Leis. He stops in front of Shooting Star and pulls out a red and orange flower necklace. "Here lovely filly, please take these flowers." She giggles as he puts it around her neck and he winks at me.

Ohh... mare. It's not me being paranoid. Who know gooses worked so fast?!

I just have to come clean with her. "Shooting Star. I have to tell you something."

And it all comes out. I'm ranting so fast I can't even hear my own words. Finally I stop and mare am I out of breath.
My friends are all staring at me. "You told Whisper we where special...."
I interrupt her "No I didn't! I told her we where not but she went and goose-"
"Gossip."
"-to everyone about it."

Shooting Star is looking down. "I'm really sorry." I bow my head too. "Does this mean we can't be friends anymore?" I ask.

"No, we are still friends. But you are not allowed to talk to Whisper anymore." Not talk to Whisper? But I hardly got a chance too! SandShine puts her hoof over me. "It's not his fault. Whisper would have started the rumor either way."
Shooting Star says she forgives me but she will never forgive Whisper. She declares that Whisper has to be shown a lesson and even if it takes her all school year long. She was going to get back at Whisper.



(((OC:: Because Beach Bum is to young and I have no idea why he'd be writing letters to the Princess. I'm going to make it a little... sad? Sweet? And have him write letters to his Dad.)))
PostPosted: Sun Sep 22, 2013 11:31 pm


Dear Dad,

Today I went to school and learned marketing is pointless when you don't have coins. That ponies who gossip are nothing but trouble. Even though they look cute when they laugh. When your a filly people will give you free stuff for being some ponies special pony. Oh and just because you talked your way out of getting in trouble the first time doesn't mean you can do it every time. I also learned that restrooms are not just useful if you need to drop a number two. But also when you need to talk to your boogy buddy about some filly and you don't want that filly to know you are talking about her.

Love your son,
Beach Bum

Now Beach Bum should gain XP by learning about friendship

sweatdrop He learned... something.

I'm going to count the things he learned even if they don't make much sense. dramallama
Only because I find him cute and I guess it would be nice to get him growing up fast. I mean the poor little mare hasn't even earned his cutie mark. But that will give me chance to add more detail to him and his friends.
The ending came about when I realized he didn't have anything that could fix this situation. (There's that word he was looking for.)

Yes, his Edge, I gave him a Mentor. Again, for another episode.

I'm giving him 5 XP which means he now gets an Advancement.
Best thing with Earth Ponies is TEPW is like a cheat! I spend two skill points and it gives me 6! So that's supper cool that he can have lots of skills.
I've already made a list of skill I want him to work on getting.

So tell me what you guys think.

Already started::
Balance, Deception, Sculpting, Swimming, Throwing

Still needs to get::
Camping, Nautical, Sleight Of Hoof, Concealment
Command, Therapy, Swagger, Dancing, Musician, Linguistics
PostPosted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 12:28 am


I'll Post a new Topic when I do another Episode. So even if I've already started don't be afraid to suggest.


You are probably asking "where all the Unicorns and Griffons?" If you notice, Shooting Star is the only Pegasus. That is because Mackerel School is very small. Most go to Anchor School or another school. So most ummm.... unique? Ponies go to Mackerel.

Here's a list of Characters we've meet so far!
3nodding

One Night = Beach Bum's Mom. A single working mother.
Miss GramGram = Beach Bum's Grandma. Not that old.
Slutty Bottom = Beach Bum's Sister. Older in high school
Hot Shot = Slutty Bottom's Special pony?

Shooting Star = Female Pegasus. Smart, likes school.
Marshmellow = Male Pony. Mellow, likes camping.
SandShine = Female Pony. Nice, likes suntanning.
Fire Cracker = Male Pony. likes playing with fireworks.
Whisper = Female Pony. Is a gossip. Beach Bum thinks she's pretty.


List of Places we've been
Beach Bum's house = a small clay cookie cutter home. Two story, kitchen, one bath, 3 bedroom and living room.

Mackerel Elementary High School = Two school house next to each other. Middle grade is split. Back is fenced off with benches and playground; vollyball net, slide, swing, climbing wall.

Archer School = Elementary, Junior, High school. Each in different large builds. E has a large playground. J has vending machines. H has collage starter classes.

Board Walk = off the beach and a happening place for shopping.
