Humanity at it's Craziest
chapter 6 - Forgotten mornings
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRainbow Dash had just woken up. She had a really strange dream last night... it was of some strange creature called a llama flying around in strange shapes. She really just didn't know how to explain it. Anyway she was getting ready to do... something. She really didn't know what to expect to happen today so she just did the usual; get up, get showered and get food morning combo. It took about fifteen minutes for her to do all this. She was currently in her lounge room thinking over what to do.
'I could always just go and practice my tricks. Na, I do that way to much. Maybe I could go see one of my friends? No, they would still be upset and questionable about the whole Neon thing.' She really just couldn't decide on what to do. Neon had told her to just act naturally, but now that she has started to think about it, she didn't know what she would do naturally. And then she remembered napping. 'Why didn't I think of that sooner! I spent like twenty minutes thinking! Wait... don't I have a job?' And then she remembered she has a job. 'Why can't I think this morning!'
Rainbow quickly went over to her weather schedule and checked what weather was ordered for today. It was clear skies. She sighed in relief knowing that it was an easy job and she could still get in her napping. She made her way outside and looked over Ponyville... which was covered in hundreds of clouds of all ranges with the entire weather team working to clear it up.
Realising today was going to be hell, she sped of to talk to somepony that knew what was going on. The closest pegasus that she could find was Dust Storm. His coat was pitch black with a grey blend and a ash mane, his cutie mark was that of a dust devil. "What the hay is happening Dust?"
"Some of the clouds from the Everfree were pushed over the town last night! We got everypony we could to help out!" He said while bucking a cloud.
"There is too many to take out by hoof. I want you to organise a small tornado on the south side of town with half the team. I will take the other half to the north side. We will each start at the edge of town and move our way inwards. You need to make sure that everything is safe, I don't want somepony getting hurt!" Rainbow said while counting out how many pegasi they had available. "There are 28 ponies in total so we should be able to each make a nice, stable tornado. Go tell the teams the plan while I go warn the town."
Dust saluted and Rainbow sped off to the town hall, where ponies were crowding inside to listen to what Mayor Mare was saying about the weather troubles.
Twilight had tried her best to get back to sleep after she had woken up, but with no luck. She was completely terrified about what could happen. If Neon was back he could be looking for revenge. What else was he capable of doing? Was he going to hurt her friends as well? Was it just all in her head? She had no answers for these questions. It was now morning and she had not gotten any sleep since the incident. She paced around her room for most of the night just thinking about how to react to something like this.
"What's wrong Twilight? You look like you saw a ghost and are now trying to think about how it possibly existed." Spike said, stretching out his stiff limbs after just waking up.
"It's nothing Spike, I just had a strange dream about Neon and then woke up and relieved the dream again but slightly differently." Twilight said, pacing nervously.
"Wait, are you saying that you saw Neon?" Spike asked, shocked.
"I saw him in my dream, then I woke up and saw a shadowy figure exactly were Neon had been in the dream."
"Well, it could have been you mind playing tricks on you." Spike suggested, trying to calm her down.
"But it could also have been Neon, Spike. We have no idea what he is capable of doing and I'm getting really worried." Twilight said, sitting down on her bed brushing her own mane in her hoof trying to comfort herself. "He could be back for revenge, he could want to kill me or the girls. He could want payback on Celestia! There is no telling on what he could do!"
Spike was now getting worried himself, not only for the fact that Twilight was having a break down but also the fact that it could be true! There was no way of knowing what he was capable of. He could have been invisible in that room for all they knew. "Why don't you go talk to the girls?" Spike suggested worriedly. "If Neon is really back then you should warn them."
"Good idea Spike! I will go talk to the girls about this and see how they feel. Maybe they know something as well." Twilight said while trotting out of her room and down the stairs. "Can you make breakfast, I'm going to write a letter to Celestia and tell her about it, just in case."
"On it!" Spike called out, walking into the kitchen.
Twilight began to write a letter explaining to Celestia all that had happened to the best of her memory, while spike made breakfast in the kitchen. During the time that Twilight was writing the letter, she failed to notice the hectic struggle outside for the weather. She even failed to notice the two tornado's that were made. (She really gets lost in her letters) Twilight finished the letter just as Spike finished breakfast and Twilight got Spike to send the letter while they ate.
Halfway through their meal they got a reply for Celestia, saying that she would handle this and that was all. It literally said "I will handle this." and nothing else except for her signature.
"Strange for her to keep information away from me." Twilight said while reading over the message again.
"Maybe she is already dealing with it." Spike suggested.
"Well I've got to go talk to the girls about this and make sure they are okay." Twilight said, getting up from her position at the kitchen table. She walked out into the main lobby of the library, turned around and said to Spike, "Look after the library while I'm gone." before walking out into a nice clear day.
I'm bored and lazy so I'm just going to sum up what happened. Twilight first went to Rarity and found out she had a dream like her. Next was Pinkie with the same dream but she was really happy that she could throw him a party. Then it was Applejack who was rather pissed off. Next was Fluttershy who was cowering in the corner of her hut with all her animal friends trying to calm her down. Last but not least was Rainbow Dash who they found napping on a cloud. She did a poorly job at acting like she was worried but nopony picked it up because they where all to worried themselves. They then all met up at Twilight's place to talk about it at about 1pm.
As the rest of the group walked into the library, Twilight closed the door with her magic and soundproofed the room, just in case. "Ok girls, what do you think?" Twilight asked, pacing around the room.
"I-I don't know what to think darling." Rarity said. Her mane and tail were dishevelled and she looked horrible. "Since I had that dream last night I just can't think about anything."
"I think this is great!" Pinkie said, shocking everypony. "Maybe he is still alive! And if he is alive that means I get to throw him a WELCOME PARTY!"
"But what if he blames us for what happened!" Twilight said, pacing faster. "He might hate us for what happened and want to get revenge!"
Aaaaaand Pinkie is sad. Like always her main and tail went strait and she turned darker. This scared Rainbow because she was the only pony that saw what happened at the 'Party of One' incident. She did not want a repeat of what happened then but if she was to break her act of being sad she might draw questions so she didn't do anything... yet.
"Ah think we should ready ourselves for if he shows up again." Applejack said, scanning over all the girls to see their reactions. It was met with shock but agreement form everypony except for Flutters and Rainbow. Flutters was just scared out of her mind, but Rainbow looked like she was just agreeing, but seemed to be more of a act than anything. Applejack just guessed that she was trying to hide her fear, lucky for Rainbow.
"I-I guess your right AJ." Twilight admitted half-heartedly. "I will put up a shield around the library though, just as a precaution." Her horn glowed and it was done. "Nothing should be able to get through."
"Well I guess that makes my job easier." Came a voice from nowhere yet everywhere at once.
This startled everypony who instantly began to look around the room in confusion but recognition. They all knew that voice, it was the voice of the being that had terrorised them in their dreams and in reality. It was the voice of Neon.
"It nice to see you all again, it was kind of annoying how we left off. You know, with me almost dying and all." Neon said, completely monotone. "Well, I'm back and I want to talk." After that was said, Neon appeared in the middle of the room on top of the horse bust. "And you're all going to listen." He said, staring down at them with his trademark creepy grin.
