//-------------------------------------------------------// A Young Mans Troubles -by shuth3door- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue ''DAMMIT!! How did we lose that game'' I complain through the microphone of my headset connected to my playstation 4. ''You can expect to win every game Dave, better luck next time I guess'' My close friend Jack explains. 'Well i think that's enough battlefield four for me today i gotta go and visit my mum its been close to 2 months since iv last seen her, and shes been bugging me to go and see her'' I say as i say goodbye to Jack. ''K ill seen u in a day or so Dave see ya'' Jack says as he joins another game on Operation Firestorm 2014. ''I guess I gotta get ready'' I say as I yawn and turn off my PS4 then proceed to grab the black leather jacket I use when I go motorbike riding. After I've finished putting my riding gear on which consist of a purple short sleeved T-shirt, blue jeans, black motorbike riding boots and my jacket i begin to pack a bag full of some more of my belongings which are an Iphone charger, spare pants and shirts, a pair of shoes, and some deodorant (nothing wrong with a little shower in a can when you smell particually bad). once finished packing i walk down stairs into the living room of my grandfathers and grandmothers house (iv been living with them for about a year now after finishing school) once in the living room i see my grandmother on Facebook playing Candy Crush. ''You playing that crap again'' I snicker and she ignores me like usual whenever I bad mouth any Facebook game. Grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge i walking back into the living room towards the front door, the sound of my heavy boots the only thing i can hear in the house. ''Okay Nan i'm goin' to Mums house for two days so i'll see you when i get back'' I say as I leave the house, opening the garage and proceeding to push my motorbike out of its spot next to my pops car. I put the into the ignition and turn the key allowing the bike to be started, i start to kick start the bike mainly because the button to start it automatically is broken, once started i left the bike warm up for a few minutes. whilst waiting i grab my Ipod out of the zip up pocket on my jacket, i get of the bike while its warming up and sit on the ground scanning through all of the songs on my Ipod. Finding a song I'm satisfied with i put my earphones on and proceed to sit on my bike, its easy to reach the ground being 6 feet tall. Once comfortable I slid my black helmet with white skulls and red knives over my dark brown hair, once on i slip on my black sun glassed with purple lenses over my hazel brown eyes. Once I'm sufficiently ready to go i kick up the stand of the bike i stand going forward in first gear. Turning the bike so I go down the exit to the free way, a new song starts playing on my Ipod which i instantly recognise as the first song from the MetalGearRising Revengeance sound track that song being 'Rules Of Nature'. I start to sing along to the song slowly loosing myself in the music, many songs later my favorite song in the sound track starts playing 'A Stranger I Remain' I close my eyes and start to sing along completely oblivious to the car accident up ahead, i open my eyes just too late, slamming the front and back brakes as hard as I can, I notice the bikes back end is quickly rising into the air too late, I'm launched off the bike and catapulted head first into the back of a van, once I hit the van I bounced of the steel sliding door of it and land on the ground on my back, I slowly lift my head too the sight of my motorbike flying right towards me, the front of the bike flips at high speeds and lands onto my chest breaking several of my ribs and knocking me unconscious. //-------------------------------------------------------// A stranger in a stranger world //-------------------------------------------------------// A stranger in a stranger world I raise my head from the ground with a pained whimper trying to remember what had happened, the closest I can remember is being on the freeway to my mothers house then its all fuzzy from there, every time i try to remember more i start to get a slight migraine so i compel myself to stop before it gets worse. I slowly put my right hand onto the ground and start too rise to a sitting position noticing I'm on a large plain of grasslands, with a large amount of pain I start too get to my feet, with a pained grunt I finally manage to stand, a bit shakily i reach into the zip up pocket of my leather jacket I pull out my Iphone and check for reception, to which i find none. With a frustrated grunt I reinsert it into my jacket deciding I'll try to find a lake or a stream of water which might lead to a town. I wonder where I am I begin to ask myself whist walking in what I think is a north direction (I think its north but i don't really know mainly because I couldn't remember what way the sun rises and falls in, I never really listened in geography and science classes when I was in school). I've been walking for around 20 minutes when i suddenly hear the sound of something that sounds like its slicing through the air, as I proceed to lift my head towards the sound I begin to see a rainbow going in random directions such as loops and aileron rolls(an aileron roll is what most people think is a barrel roll I usually get annoyed by people always getting it wrong), wondering where the rainbow is coming from I continue to lift my head until I see a small mass in the sky flipping a rolling with much grace, that is until it starts flying towards me at very high speeds that shouldn't be capable of something that size, I start to get nervous as it speeds its way towards me I slowly start to backs up, seconds which felt like hours passed as the cyan mass landed on the ground with a large amount of dust and dirt being launched into the air. I stop and wonder what this thing is, my curiosity getting the best of me I start to take a step towards it when the creature suddenly jumps towards me with a large amount of speed luckily i still had my sunglasses and helmet on which managed to prevent me from getting dust into my eyes, I quickly dodged to the right before the creature could tackle me. "What the hell mate" I yelled at the creature not knowing if it can speak or not, I saw its ears perk up rapidly and it quickly spun around to face me. "What the hay are you" The cyan creature, which now I recognize slightly resembles a horse but smaller yelled towards me. my mouth slowly opened comically not expecting the small horse maybe a pony to talk "I could say the same thing about you horse-pony thing" I shouted back argumentatively. "I'm not gonna answer you until you answer my question first" The horse-pony said, i begin to realize that it sounded like a female but slightly scratchy. "Okay then" I said taking a deep breath i slowly began to explain what and who I am "My name is David Litson, I am a human from Australia, New South Wales, now who and what are you" "My name is rainbow dash, fastest pony in Equestria and future wonderbolt, now what are you doing so close to ponyville" The horse-pony explained. Chuckling slightly from the her name I begin to say "Pony-what I've never been here before i just woke up in this field about a kilometer away from here and i was wondering if you could help me with something by any chance then i'll be out of your hai-mane I mean. "How do I know I can trust you, I've never seen anything like you before and I don't know if you have any weapons or not" Rainbow dash explains worriedly. I sigh in frustration a bit until i say "I just want to know if you can help me with directions to a town or something I have no clue where I am and just need to find a way back home." Ï think i can help with that but I don't know if i can trust you so if you want me to show you to ponyville your gunna have to show me everything you have so I can make sure you wont hurt anypony in town"she says slowly trotting towards me. "Ummm sure I guess I can do that" I say as i crouch down so i'm at the same level as rainbow dash, I proceed to take out my belongings and place them each on the ground. She smiles at me but still remains cautious, as I finish she asks me what each thing is expect for the cloths which she pretty much obviously knows what they are. "And this thing here is called and Ipod it plays music, allows me to play games, take pictures and talk to people, and this is my Iphone its the same as an Ipod but allows me to call people and talk to them" I say to Rainbow Dash after explaining a charger and how it works. "How can those little this play music and games their so small you can even fit a record in them." I laugh at this earning a glan from the small horse as i do. "Okay I can show you what I mean, what type of much do you like I've got a lot of stuff except for dubstep, I'm not really a fan of that stuff" I say turning on the Iphone showing her the background of me on my motorbike. "Ummm do you have any rock and roll music their really isn't any good rock music around here cause its still fairly new" Rainbow explains. "Lucky for you,you came to the right guy because I have plenty of rock, from where I'm from rocks been around for ages. Hmmmm let me think what type of band would you like" I say scanning through my list of rock music until I spot an old time favorite of mine."you ready?" I say getting a nod in response. I press the play button and the song 'Back in black' by 'AC-DC' starts to play. Youtube Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8PC1_3fjvs) As i begin to sing along Rainbow starts bobbing her head too the song. Through the song i watch as Rainbow gets more and more into the song until it ends. "Wow that was so awesome!" she explains earning a smile from me, I couldn't help but think she looked so cute with the face she made whilst saying that. "So" I say then breath in deeply then exhaling, the continue with our earlier conversation. "So can you help me too the nearest town or something" I ask. "Yeah sure as long as you can keep the music going then I can take you to a friend of mine that can help you out, its just west of here" she points in the direction of the town and start walking towards it. As I follow her i can help but take a closer look at her, from how she walks I can see every muscle she has moving showing me just how toned her body is, I continue to look at her noticing that she has wings that allow her to fly, I somehow didn't notice before which causes me to feel like an idiot and finally her rainbow mane and tail and cyan coat, which I found very weird but not as weird as her talking.Once I've finished observing her body i start to notice a small quiet town before us, which is packed with a lot more ponies. As I begin to walk into the town I noticed that every pony that sees me seems be terrified by my appearance in their town, Rainbow seems to take notice aswell and so she begins to trot abit faster. When she stops I notice a large oak tree with a second floor balcony, many windows, a door and a sign with a candle on it, I begin to hear a tapping sound and turn towards it to find Rainbow knocking on the door impatiently, I begin to walk but beside her and notice that the door begins to open, I stay out of the door leaning against the tree beside it, once the doors fully open I begin to hear a female voice. "Hello Rainbow, come in what do you need?" The pony begins only to be interrupted by Rainbow dash. "Listen Twi i have abit of a problem" Rainbow says quickly. She turns her head towards me which causes 'Twi' to walk out side and look aswell. As soon as she sees me her eyes enlarge, as I continue to look at her I begin to think that maybe i might have broke her with my presence, I slowly start to wave with my hand in front of her eyes which causes something inside of her to spark and the next thing i know I'm being launched into the building and onto a couch behind a table, 'Twi' enthusiastically bolts to the other side of the table spitting questions at me faster then a gun. As she continues her questions and writing on a piece of parchment with a quill and ink (which i find extremely funny for some reason)  I turn towards Rainbow Dash who sat beside me on the couch glaring at her friend. "Is the anyway to make her stop speaking by any chance" I ask Rainbow quietly. She turns her head then quickly nods towards me. How she managed to get her friend quiet surprised me, she causally trotted around the table next to 'Twi' and stuck her hoof in her mouth. "Thank you very much Rainbow my migraine was starting to come back with the way she was talking" as i said this 'Twi spat or Rainbows hoof and glared at her, then i began to say "Okay I will answer the questions you have for me if you answer my questions 'k'" I asked politely. She nodded then asked her first question "Sure first question: who and What are you?"she asked excitedly. "As I've already told Rainbow Dash my name is David Litson but you can call me Dave for short and I am a human or if you want to be scientific about it I am a Homo-Sapien." I said casually as i saw a spark ignite in her eyes , before she could continue though i asked my question "My questions in the same who and what are you guys". "My name is Twilight Sparkle personal student of Princess Celestia and we are ponies, mares to be exact". So as Twilight asked me questions and I answered them the vise versa i began to notice it was getting abit dark outside and wondered where i was going to sleep for the night, so i brought up my concern with Twilight. "Umm I was wondering if you know a place I could stay at for the night as I don't have anywhere to sleep whilst I'm here" Twilight thought about this for a small amount of time until she got an idea. "You can stay here the night if you want, its no bother at all to me" she stated blushing abit. I noticed this and started a counter argument. "You don't have to do that there must be a hotel or an inn I can stay at." She seemed abit down cast by this until I heard a stir next to me and forgot that Rainbow Dash was lying next to me starting to wake from a nap i didn't notice she was having. "He can stay with me if he wants I have plenty of room at my cloud house" she explained I was abit shocked to hear cloud house but then i thought about the weirder things I've seen today. I turned to her and insisted that she didn't have to and that I cant walk on clouds, to which she laughed at in return then she looked at Twilight and asked "Hey Twi do you still know the cloud walking spell that you used for the girls at the best young flyers competition". "I do but you heard him he doesn't want too stay with you, he should stay here because its easier then getting up there." she argued back then looked at me with a small blush that I could hardly see, but was just able to which sent alarm bells straight to my head. When I looked over at Rainbow how ever she had a look of determination on her face too win this argument so you could stay with her, which made you feel awkward. "He said he doesn't want to stay here he said he wants to stay with me, and you should respect his answer"she argued back I know i didn't say i wanted to stay with her but it felt way less awkward then staying here where i think there is a mare here that might have the hots for me. So after fifteen long grueling minutes of these two fighting a small purple and green scaled lizard-thing walked into the room grumpily like it had just been woken up, which it might have with how these two where fighting, he stared at me so i decided to introduce myself to it-him I'm guessing. "Hey there mate hows it goin' I'm Dave" I say as i put my hand out for a shake, he walks up to me with a strange look in his eyes like hes afraid I might bite him or something. "Umm H-hello I'm Spi-Spike." he explains whist looking at my hand. I smile to him and say "There's no need to be afraid of me I'm not gunna hurt ya, I'm just want to meet ya." He seems to calm at this them turns his head towards the to mares still arguing. "what are they arguing about" He asks surprised to see the two friends fighting. "Their arguing to see how I'm gunna stay with tonight" I say in an exhausted voice. "why don't they just ask you to see who you want to stay with then?" This seems to catch their attention and they both turn to me with big puppy dog eyes and quivering bottom lips. I look at them both and feel my manliness slowly start to go when I look at them, then they both ask me in adorably cute voice that almost makes me d'awwwww but i manage to keep it down just barely "Who do you want to stay with tonight." they ask in unison. "Ummm I'm not sure you both have quite the argument. but I'm gunna have to go with Rainbow Dash." ( They didn't really have an argument I just chose who looked cuter) I say as she jumps in victory whilst Twilight lets an irritated 'humph'. Once Twilight has finished with the cloud walking spell, Rainbow and I quickly leave Twilight's house making our way out side. Once where out I notice that its fairly dark, maybe around seven or eight . I turn to Rainbow and ask "So how are we gunna get to your place I say with my hands resting behind my head, I look at her as she slowly starts to smirk, when I'm about to ask why though she quickly fly's behind me and picks me up from under my arm pits. Once she lands on the top of what looks like a cloud balcony she drops me, I let out a shriek of horror then until I noticed I had landed on the cloud safely, I turn to Rainbow to see shes about to piss her self laughing, once she stops laughing and lets me inside I ask where I'm gunna sleep for the night, she blushes then signals towards a door made of cloud, i open it and notice that its dashes room i turn to her and ask "Why am I at what looks like your room don't you have a spare couch or something." she quickly shakes her head in the universal 'no' way I sigh think how awkward tonight's gunna be but before I get ready to do anything I ask why she invited me over if there was no room to which she says "Twilight would have just kept you up all night with egg head questions and uncool stuff" She says agreeably. I sigh defeated as I walk up to the bed and take off my shirt,boots,socks and until now I hadn't noticed i was still wearing my sunglasses which of course made me feel like a huge idiot. Once done i lift the covers of the bed and lay down replacing the cover back on top of myself instead, I look too the door to notice dash sitting there with her wings slightly extended, her eyes wide open and her mouth partially open. I raised an eyebrow at this then moved close to the edge of the bed so there would be more space in between the of us when she decided to stop staring at me at went to bed. I sat up to look at her more closely then asked "You going to sleep or are ya just gunna sit there and stare at me creepily all night whilst I sleep." This seemed to get her back to the real world and she mumbled something I couldn't hear nor understand if I could. Once she stopped mumbling to herself she flew at top speed towards the bed, launching herself under the covers and next too me. As soon as she got comfortable she rolled over to face me only to find my back facing her and with a blush that I swear I could feel from the other side of the bed, she slowly made her way over too me, noticing this I proceeded to nudge myself towards the edge of my side some more, that is until I ran out of room to run towards and slowly started to panic. That's when I felt a new warm feeling on my back I decided not to turn to face it, slowly I began to notice a small cyan foreleg start to make its way towards my chest and stop once it had reached its full length it just sat there, my mind was racing 100 kilometers a minute wondering what would happen next until I heard a slight soft snoring behind me that almost made my heart explode from the adorableness that's when I just gave up and a thought occurred to me. This is gunna be one awkward night.
