Turbine: Our Fellow Wind Stallion
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI still wonder why so many ponies hate me when they don't even get to know me. What did I ever do to deserve such a ridiculous treatment? A simple answer, jealousy. They were jealous in the fact the drill sergeant had a crush on me and praised me in front of them. It's understandable, but it's not a happy experience dealing with it. I sat down on my bunk looking down, wondering what happened back there when I snapped and what might the outcome be. I hear hoofsteps behind me and I look over, I see the pony which I struck walking up to me, he sits down next to me and talks to me quietly "We need to talk..." I respond "Ok." "I appreciate what you did back there, i've never seen anypony stand up for them self like that, just know I have your back and I support you." I do not believe it, the pony who ridiculed me, put me down, thought I was some door mat, he now wants to be my buddy? "Thanks." I say, as much as i'm not really forgiving of the situation. "You can always sit next to us at the lunch tables." He pats my back and then gets up and starts to walk away. "I have to go to my bunk for the next order, see you next time we have a lunch break!" I guess this is friendship, hit a stallion in the face you make friends its like magic. The drill sergeant then commands us to attention by our bunks. She commands us to get dressed into P.T uniforms, which well for those who don't know P.T stands for psychical activity. We then line up outside in lines which are called "squads" each squad forms a platoon. I wish I knew all the recruits names, even the one who decided to be my friend. The drill sergeant walks up to the platoon "For most of the day we'll be doing our first obstacle in the course, don't worry it will be difficult!" She commands us to march towards an obstacle which looks a lot like a giant ladder. "This recruits, is the tower of terror. You will have to climb this ladder all the way to the top and all the way to the bottom, I do not permit cheating either! If you cheat you will be giving me push ups!" She really loves to get ponies to give push ups. All the recruits wait for the next instruction. "Well what are all of you doing? Climb the damn thing!" I start to climb the "tower" and realize the steps in the ladder get further and further apart from each other the higher you go. I saw somepony fall off the tower, it's insane to believe this is safe. Before I know it I'm already near the top of the tower, I get to the top after struggling and now I ask myself the question "How the hell am I going to get down from this?".
