Dale and Matt's road to victory, episode 1: learning friendship

I could only see darkness, I could hear faint coughing. I use my strength to try to open my eyes, but with no prevail. I use ALL of my strength to open my eyes, this time it works. I was lying on a grassy field, wind was blowing, trees were seen in the distance, and a town is within walking distance from here. “Matt.” I groan.

“y-yeah.” I could hear Matt reply after coughing a little bit more. I attempt to stand up, slowly getting on my knees I noticed that I was sort of looked cell shaded. The grass was sort of dry, but not fully. I stand up and look at Matt who was looking himself over. “Dude, we look like we are in a comic or cartoon.”

“Sadly not anime.” I say wishing this was like ‘Naruto’.

“Damnit Dale, don’t give me ideas that won’t happen.”

“Where are we exactly?” I ask Matt while looking around the area to get a good understanding.

“Well Dale we’re in a grassy plane, topped off with wind that is frankly kind of cold.” Matt shivered a little.

“No dip shit, we’re at Walmart getting batteries.” I retort.

“Well, if we’re lost out here, we need a source of food.” Matt then started to imitate bear grills. The classic anime bead of sweet went down the back of my head.

I chuckle “we can just eat the apples from the tree out yonder.” I point behind him.

“Don’t ruin my fun Dale.” Matt demanded.

“Ok….we need to find a place to live.” Matt Grills (like the nickname) was determined to find us some refuge. I tap his shoulder and point towards the random ass town that was in the distance. “Fuck you.” Matt said as we walk off towards the town.

…random ass town…

We reach the town after what felt like an eternity. I hear Matt gulp as he reads the sign that said ‘Welcome to Ponyville, please enjoy your stay’. “I think I know where we are.”

“Yeah Matt we’re at a town.” I insult Matt because of his ‘alter ego’ phase he had earlier.

“No asshole, we’re at that town from that horrendous show we watched earlier.” Matt reminded me.

“Remember the oath we took, we’re not going to talk about the show, mention the show, not even think about the show.” I state while folding my arms and closing my eyes.

“Actually, it was a democratic vote.” my eyes shot open.

“Let’s just ask for help.” we walk in the entrance. Right away we notice the multi coloured horses roaming around the town, doing their usual things. But that lasted a grand total of 4.3 seconds until Matt was tackled to the ground by a pink blur.

“Hi I’m Pinkie Pie, the party pony of the town. I make friends with everypony that has ever entered town, except that meanie Gilda. Say you’re kind of cute for a creature that nopony has ever seen before. *gasp* I should throw you a party!!!” the blur shouts in a few seconds, and then blasts off leaving Matt in a confused state. I help Matt off the ground but notice something…odd.

At this point we had gotten the attention of the citizens of Ponyville. “Err….hello.” I greet, but earning no response. The looks on their faces was a mixed bag. On one side it was fear, and on the other it was amazement with a hint of curiosity.

“Dude, let’s get out of here.” I hear Matt whisper into my ear.

“Uh…we’ll just be going somewhere else now.” I say. We started to walk, then speed walk, jog, run, and then sprint into some random part of the town. I don’t know if we were even thinking about where to run, but we did just that. We started to swerve around the crowds, hearing screams of fear. They sounded like ones that you would hear if a little girl saw a mouse, high pitch and annoying.

…town square…

We stopped at a random location to catch our breaths. “*huff* did we lose them?” Matt asked completely oblivious that we are in the centre of the town.

“Matt, we’re in town square.” I inform my friend.

“You got to be fucking with me.” A huge swarm of ponies surrounded us, there was no escape.

“LOOK OUT!!!” I hear a panicked tomboyish voice call out.

“Who? Me?” I question allowed but I was too late. I felt a force slam right into my stomach, the wind was knocked out of me, I was sent flying backwards, and landed on the hard dirt. I started to cough and weez in the pain. “WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ALL ABOUT!!!” I shouted at the pony in question. I slowly stand up to see a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail staring at me in anger

.

“I don’t know what that means, but nopony talks to me that way.” she gritted her teeth. I shocked, a talking, cartoonish, Pegasus. I really was in that horrible show.

“d-did you just talk?” I questioned.

“Of course I can, do you think I was born yesterday.” I think she was still angry at me for cursing at her. Then I realized, she rammed into me, I think on purpose.

“HEY, why’d you do that?” I was pissed.

“It’s because you might attack us.”

“But you told me to look out.”

“Not you, the other ponies.” that bitch exclaimed.

“You think that I might attack huh……AAAAHHHH!!!” I yell a battle cry before rushing at the cyan asshole that attacked me first.

READY?

FIGHT!!!

I throw a punch at her face, hitting her dead on. Then I kicked the pony’s legs to send her off balance, and finally I tackle her to the ground.

3 HIT COMBO!!!

We started to roll on the ground, eventually the Pegasus ended up on top; she started to hit me across the face. I felt a little bit of blood fly out of my nose, her nose was already bleeding. She tries to hit me once more, but I catch her hoof and kick her right off.

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

The mare started to cough a little bit; I take the time to rush her. Once I was close enough I hear something.

“HEY, OVER HERE!!!” I turn to see a lavender unicorn calling out to me. At least the last thing I saw was a purple aurora surrounding her horn, before I was out cold…

*You earned a trophy*

*(Bronze)*

*A knock out if a say so myself*

*Would you like to save?*

*(Yes)*

*Saving….*

*Save complete…*
