Frank Reynolds Visits Equestria
Frank Shows Off
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"So what's that unusual thing you got strapped on your flank?" Rarity asked, pointing her hoof to Frank's gun.
Frank turned around and used his magic to levitate his gun in front of the girls.
"Ya mean this?" Frank replied as he turned back to the girls, hoping that one of them would figure out that the object he had was a gun.
"Uhh...yeah." Rainbow Dash answered with crossed arms.
"It's a gun."
"What's a gun?"
Rainbow Dash's answer almost made Frank dropped his jaw.
"Jesus Christ." He confusedly thought in his head. "They don't know what shit is and now they don't know what a gun is? The hell kind of a world is this?"
"Uh..." Frank groaned as he tried to figure out how to explain what a gun is.
"How do I explain this shit?" He thought.
"It's...a thing...that...uh...shoots out...uh...these things called...um...bullets. They, uh, hurt and, uh, do cool things..."
"I wonder..."
"If you give me some money, I could show you a cool trick!"
Pinkie giggled and squeed. "Oooh! Show me a trick!" Pinkie shouted as she gave Frank 10 bits.
Frank looked down at the 10 coins Pinkie gave him.
"Cash only."
"What's cash?"
"GODDAMNIT!!!!"
"Uh, never mind, thanks for the...uh..."
"They're bits-"
"BITS! Thanks."
"And the trick?"
Frank sighed. "These bits better be worth it." He thought as he tried to remember a trick.
Frank turned around to the forest and adjusted his glasses.
"Uh, watch me......shoot that dead branch there."
The Mane 6 and Spike put down their food and walked up next to Frank, not wanting to miss the trick he will perform.
Frank gulped and levitated his gun to front of him, the barrel pointing to a dead branch from a tree a bit far away from Frank.
"C'mon Frank...you can do this!!!"
Frank pulled the trigger with his magic.
BANG!!!
Everypony around were scared from the sudden loud noise. Fillies and colts awoke from their sleep and started to cry and wail. Pegasus covered their ears with their hooves while they were flying. The Mane 6 and Spike covered their ears and closed their eyes from the bang.
Frank just blinked as the bullet missed the branch. The bullet hit the bark of the tree instead.
"Next time," Rainbow Dash shouted. "Warn us that there would be a loud noise!"
"I thought it was coooool!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she uncovered her ears and opened her eyes. "You hit the branch?"
Frank's pupils looked at her and right back to the tree.
"Uh...yeah."
"AWESOME!!! Here, have some more bits in return for showing how AWESOME that was!!!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she gave Frank 10 more bits.
"Uh...yeah. Thanks."
Twilight and the rest started to uncovered their ears and opened their eyes, with the exception of Spike, who was still scared from the loud noise.
Twilight looked closely at the tree. "Doesn't look like you hit the branch."
"Uh..." Frank muttered. "Side effect of the gun."
"Interesting gun..." Twilight said quietly as she rubbed her chin. "Can I borrow it to study it?"
"Um. Maybe another time." Frank suggested with a faint smile.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go." Fluttershy whispered. "I have to go back to my cottage. The animals need some feeding."
Applejack nodded. "It's almost six more hours until midnight. Ah gotta go back to the farm. Nice meetin' ya Mantis!" Applejack shouted as she walked away.
Frank felt uncomfortable. "Well...uh...see ya."
"Wait." Twilight said as she walked up to Frank. "Can I...talk to you...maybe tomorrow?"
Frank raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Oh, I just wanna learn more about...your gun and how you know the word 'shit.'"
Frank shrugged. "Fine. Meet you here tomorrow."
Twilight smiled. "Great. See you tomorrow."
"Yeah see ya." Frank muttered as he walked away. "Shoulda asked why she has a horn and wings at the same time..." He muttered as he levitated the bits he acquired.
"Let's see what...5...10...15...20..." Frank muttered as he counted how much coins he has. "20...bits...can buy me!"
After asking directions from a drunk plum-coated mare, he found where ponies were selling stuff.
Frank arrived at the marketplace and stared at the vendors that were selling food, items, and other needs to other ponies. Most of them seem friendly, while some reminded Frank of his bridge friends. A few reminded him of those 'gypsy vendors' at the Italian market from Earth.
"I wonder what Charlie and the gang are doing." Frank stated as he gently put a hoof on his neck.
He shook that thought and walked up to one stand that was selling all sorts of pets supplies.
Frank stared at the brownish stallion with a trimmed beard. "Excuse me sir," Frank asked, "I got 20 bits. What can I get?"
The stallion looked down in his stand and pulled out some cans of cat food and some chew toys. "For a limited time," he replied, "You can get one can of cat food for 8 bits and get the other one for free."
Frank thought for a bit. He was used to eating cat food to sleep through the night so he decided to get the cat food.
"Alright." Frank answered as he threw 10 bits. "I'll take that special offer."
"Just 8 bits sir. The other 2 aren't neccessary."
"Oh. That's just tax."
"What's tax?"
Frank's eyes shrunk into the size of pea. "Uh...heh..ugh..."
He then dropped to the floor. The surprised stallion stared at Frank. "You OK sir?"
"You bet your ass sir..." Frank muttered while chuckling.
The stallion scratched the back of his head. "Ass?" He asked, which made Frank chuckle even more.
After Frank recovered and took the cans of cat food, he thanked the stallion almost wasted the whole day asking everypony, particular the ones who were selling something, if they knew what tax is. To Frank's delight, they had no idea what tax was.
Eventually, it was around midnight. Since Frank didn't know where to sleep, he decided to sleep at the same spot where he seemingly transported into this world.
He knew where it was: the spot right next to that puddle where he check to see his reflection earlier and that bluish dirty log.
Frank yawned and laid down on his back.
He opened the can of cat food with a can opener which he stole from an unsuspecting vendor.
He then took out a spoon and happily gobbled up the cat food.
As he soon as he done, he threw the can and spoon away and closed his eyes.
"Time for a new day in...shit. I don't even know what this world is called..."
Frank let out a lazy yawn.
"Ugh..." Frank muttered as he got up on his butt.
Frank opened his eyes quickly. His butt felt like...
"A human's..."
Frank looked down and saw that he had a human butt.
He looked down at his hooves, only to find his human hands.
He looked around and realized he was in Charlie's apartment.
He heard someone yawning on the floor.
He looked down at the ground and saw Charlie waking up on the floor.
As soon as Charlie's eyes opened, he smiled at the sight of Frank.
"Oh good morning Fran-"
Charlie's eyes widen.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
