(Mini Series) Jack's Adventures: Book 1 (UNFINISHED)
Chapter 2: Is This... Real?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt's time Jack had a serious conversation with Fluttershy. Ever since he was invited into her house, he has never left. He has never been outside. So, he knocks on Fluttershy's room door, and asks her if he could talk to her,
"Sure, Jack. We can talk about anything!" She let out a happy grin.
"Well, Fluttershy, ever since I got here, you've never let me outside. I feel left out. I want to meet some other ponies, fillies, maybe even attend school. If I truly do live here, then, please, let me outside. Let me experience the world I forgot." Jack said trying to sound as sweet as possible.
He knew if he could get Fluttershy to tear up, and cave in, there was no way she could say no. It's hard enough for her to say no as it is, why not add a little pressure? He knew he didn't belong here, and he never lived here, but he was sick of sitting on the couch doing nothing.
*Sniff* "You know, Jack, you're right. I have been fencing you in." She said as tears started falling down her cheek.
"School sound like a good idea."
"Thanks, Fluttershy. You've been a great friend to me."
"Won't you be back?" She said as she sniffed and wiped the tears from her face.
"Of course! I just want to explore a bit."
"Okay, but be back by 6:30, okay?"
"Yes ma'am."
Now, normally Jack doesn't really USE manners, but, he did this time to sound sincere to the person who was trying to simulate a mother figure for him. Jack tried to avoid the question of his parents, since he didn't have a straight answer to that type of question. Also, his dad died back on earth, so it was only him and his mom. That made it even more difficult...
Jack rushed out the door, taking a long, deep breath of the fresh air surrounding him.
*Fresh air, it's been so long since I've inhaled fresh air. Not even in Hemet air was this fresh!*
Thought's were racing through Jack's mind like: What to do first? What type of food is here? Do they have McDonalds? How many friends can I make? Until he noticed a barn, next to that barn was a forest-type area. This wiped out all thoughts, because, if there was one thing Jack LOVED to do, it was adventure in the woods. Jack was always an outdoor person. So, instinct takes over and leaves out all the important "Who lived there? Would I get in trouble?" type of questions. But, no! No time for that! He didn't just ran he SPRINTED froward to the apple trees.
He finally arrived at the barn. He investigated the scene a bit more, making sure nobody was watching. He then ran into the woods. He walked for a bit more, only to be stopped by a small tree-house like structure. More like a club house.
"Woah... what is this?" Curiosity got the best of Jack, and he walked in uninvited.
"Hello? Anybody here?"
No answer.
Crash!
"AH! WHO ARE YOU!?"
"Who are you!?"
Three totally different faces stare down at him. One looked like that other pony, Applejack he had seen earlier when he first came here. The other looked some-what liked Rarity, and the last one... unrecognizable. The one that looked like Rarity was sitting on Jack's stomach, keeping him from getting up.
"Well? What's you're name?" The white one said.
"J-Jack..."
They all gasped.
"So.. you're the magic one?" The white one said.
"Sweetie belle, you know magic is ridiculous, It's all this stupid science stuff."
Jack's memories of the show come back to him, and remembers that these three are the Cutie Mark Crusaders...
"I think he's a spy! Look at all the black he's got on him! His eyes, his coat..."
"Scootaloo, he ain't no spy. He's just a bit older than us."
"Yeah, I'm 14!"
Jack knew he had to get out from under Sweetie belle, but, couldn't. He then had an idea, he moved his back hoofs like they were bent, and kicked himself out from under Sweetie belle's constraint.
"Look," Scootaloo said, "he's a blank flank!"
Jack had forgotten all about cutie marks and their importance.
*Great, another problem.* Jack thought to himself knowing of all the bullying that he would get.
"He ain't got no cutie mark!"
"You're right!"
"Yeah.. I don't think I'm good at anything.. really..."
"Everybody has to be good at something!" Applebloom said with a bright smile.
"Yeah, even if you just don't know it, that's what destiny is! You just have to see what is in store for you in the future!" Sweetie Belle said. She had a certain nervous shake about her...
About 2 hours of conversing, and becoming good friends with the three fillies, Jack decides to ask the question he has always wanted to ask.
"Hey, can I join you're group here? I would like to see my talent. I want to find out my destiny! And what a better way to do that then with friends?"
They all said in perfect harmony "Of course!"
"We are always looking for new recruits!" Sweetie Belle said.
That was it, Jack made his first friends. It is 2:00 P.M. now, so Jack has LOTS of time before he has to get back to Fluttershy's cottage. He was just trotting along, but then he realized something... this is a cartoon... the show is a cartoon, how can this be happening if it is just a cartoon!? And that weird portal thing that causes a ripple in time and space, how could THAT be real? He couldn't believe he hadn't thought of this sooner! Which made him to think...
"Am I dreaming...? IS this all fake? IS this just a joke my mind is playing on me to escape the monotony of a dull city I hate so much! But... if this is a dream... I don't think I want to wake up..."
