The Swiss-German Lance

Chapter 6

So, I’m inside the library, with Twilight looking at me with a very angry but at the same time with a exhausted face, saying some seconds later “What were you doing outside so late? Plus, why are you even outside, couldn’t you just read a book?”

My eye twitches Books? Only E-books, but surely no normal books! I look at Twilight, saying casually “I hate books.”

She just looked at me with her mouth open and eyes wide, her left eye twitching. It would be funny if smoke and steam would come out of her back like a broken robot.

“How can you not like books?!” She yelled at me, taking me off guard a bit with that statement and not with a punch full across the face

“I come from a modern time where we use Electronic books, where they use a display and you can move it to the next page with buttons or with the touchscreen”

I just noticed what I said, giving many words out she surely doesn’t know, and she doesn’t, because she just tilts her head, giving out a dumb face.

“What’s a touchscreen?” Twilight asked, looking to me like I’m an alien.

I look at her, starting to think a bit how to say that for people who are total new with electricity, “A touchscreen is a screen -I hope you know what that at least is- what you can touch and move stuff, it’s like a compu- I mean...uhh...like a super futuristic stuff you ponies will discover sooner or later.”

She looked at me, having a face I can’t describe, but it has tiredness inside, so much I can tell at least.

“I’m going to bed, goodnight”, and with that, she’s up the stairs and gone.

“Pff...what a bitch…” I murmured, only to be surprised by a voice upstairs that heard like a groan that gave me a bit laughter.

I look at the door, starting to sneak towards it, only to be stopped by my ears hearing what ridiculous sound my hooves gave when I’m sneaking. I just stopped and looked at it before going to a couch and crashing on it, trying to fall asleep again.

I open my eyes and look around, feeling very shitty, and see a pony I never saw before.

I’m not sure what it was, but I know that this pony who I’m looking at right now, has a hourglass as a cutie mark, brown fur and a darker kind of brown for the mane and tail, the pony looked like somebody who is able to travel through time because of that cutie mark.

Behind him was Twilight, who was chatting with the pony.

Soon the pony nodded farewell and walked off, the way he walked would make him very suspicious like he isn’t one from this planet.

Twilight looked at me, I tried to turn around, covering myself quickly, pretending like I’m still asleep, but it was too late, I heard hooves coming closer and closer until it stopped, and felt something touch me.

“Time to wake up, we have lot to do” said Twilight, hearing the happiness inside of her.

I just give a groan, hoping that she will just get away from me and let me sleep, but she didn’t, in fact, she started tickling me, making me laugh hysterically until I smacked her by reflex. Bitch.

She smacked me back, hard, I fell of the couch, hitting the ground, opening my eyes, seeing that Twilight is right ontop of me, looking at me with anger or something near like that.

“Why did you hit me?” she asked me with a growl, continuing to look at me with anger.

“You tickled me, I hate if somebody tickles me, I give a reflex that hits everything near me, mainly it’s the person who tickles me.” I blurted everything out at once, taking in a deep breath in after I finished.

She looked at me, not understanding fully what I just said, giving one of the ‘The fuck did you just say dude?’

I released my breath, saying calmly and slowly “Tickling me is not good, I hate it much, my body’s reflex hits anybody who is near me, the person who tickles me gets hit, how hard is that to understand?”

She looked at me, thinking what I just said, getting off me, walking off, no idea why.

I just stand up and started walking towards the door, only to be surprised by a pink blur passing over me. Don’t even want to know what the fuck that was.

I continue walking, looking around what is kinda daily or not daily in this crazy world full with ponies.

I saw some ponies just chatting, ponies walking around and Lyra sitting on a bench like a human.

Guess today is a day nothing will happen or something, fuck.

I walk around and look up to the skies, seeing a trail of rainbow that looks highly suspicious and another pony that is has crossed eyes, grey fur, blonde mane and tail and bubbles as the cutie mark.

The pony flies around with a bag and hat, the bag has many mails inside and it’s making a trail with mails from where she comes from.

I try to ignore it and continue walking, seeing how this everything is just an “Everyday” thing that happens all around me.

I see the brown pony with the hourglass cutie mark again, that time with a red fez and close to a...Public police telephone box?

No fucking way! There is actually The Doctor in this universe!

I was beaming, seeing that there is actually a “Doctor Who” in this world.

I start walking up to him, wanting to prank him a bit with my knowledge of Doctor Who and that he doesn’t know me one bit.

“Ey! You there, I need to talk to you!” I yell to him, trotting up to him.

He just stares at me, not understanding one bit.

“Does your Tardis look still like the one of the tenth doctor?”

He just looks at me, eyes so small and mouth open so wide that it comes to look like I broke him.

“What? I just asked you if your Tardis looks like the one from the tenth doctor, is it so hard to understand that?”

He continues staring at me.

“Doctor, Gallifrey is calling you, maybe you should go to your Tardis and fly very fast to Gallifrey.”

        He just turned and started running to his Tardis and going away as fast as possible.

“Hehe, run away as fast as you can, but I will find you again.” I said darkly, looking at the sky.

I started walking again, seeing some minutes later that gingerbread house that I took a bite off, making me grin since there were so many people inspecting that ‘damage’.

Serves them right since it’s edible.

I walk past the house and continue looking around, seeing some other stuff I didn’t see like a fucking market district that’s very crowded.

I get shoved all around the place by the ponies, on the ninth shove, I fell on the ground, and I get squished and squashed by the ponies.

“Ouch. Ah. Fuck. Damn. Ow”, it hurts like hell, they’re heavier then they look, even though they have such a small body.

I felt being dragged out by someone somehow, I didn’t see an aura of magic so somebody is pulling me, and whoever is doing that, does that very good.

I lay down and feel for more then some seconds that nothing is hitting me, I look up and see Spike who looks at me worryingly.

“Skyfall, you alright?”

“I felt better, much better”

I groan as I slowly stand up, looking around and seeing that I’m out of the crowd.

“How did you even pull me out of this crowd?”

“You guys aren’t so heavy” said Spike, looking as he’s about to pass out

Really not heavy, eh? I thought so aswell mate, but it turned out I totally wrong.

I look at Spike and then towards a direction, saying then “I think I head back to the library to read or do other stuff, this place here is to crazy for me.”

Spike mutters something, saying then a bit louder “You’re looking at the wrong direction.”

I turn my head to the other direction, saying then “I knew that” and went off to the library.

“Right, totally knew that” says Spike as he starts following me.
