Convenient
Chapter 4
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"OK, so...Rainbow Dash, what...what do you eat..." My mother wondered, obviously still trying to get comfortable with the idea of the talking pony living in her home. She was walking to the kitchen when she turned back around. "And Jack, you showed her the toilet, right? If she makes a...mess your cleaning it up."
"once again, she's pretty much a human.If she makes a mess she can clean it up herself. But, I think you should be more worried about that whale scrotum on the couch, I'm pretty sure he took a pee in the sink in the basement cause he didn't want to separate from the Xbox." My brother shot me a glare, angry because i told on him. "Don't give me that look, i know you did. I washed my hands yesterday and i couldn't figure out if i was actually washing them or taking a pee on them. Also, yes I did. Our advanced technology blew her mind. Last thing, I really don't want to be talking about this subject before we eat."
"It wasn't that awesome, but it defiantly was cool though, ill give you that." Rainbow Dash claimed. We got up and followed my mother to the kitchen to find something to eat. I was still debating in my head over how she would react to humans eating meat: Knowing the show, i'm pretty sure that she would find it repulsive at first. Then again though, Dash seems like the meat eating type. "What kind of food do you have here?"
"Well... we currently have...cereal, eggs, and some bacon." My mother reported from the refrigerator. "As you see by the suitcases that we recently came back from a trip so I haven't been able to go to the store yet. By the way jack, your father had some stuff to do so he had to stay. He will be home in about a week."
"Cerreal? EW, SICK!Can you make those eggs with some bacon for me?" My brother requested from the couch. He seemed to be coming out of the shock of meeting Rainbow Dash too. My mother and brother could talk again, even in her presence. "Oh, do we have bread too? can you make some toast?"
"I'v heard of some ponies eating eggs, but i'v never tried them. I'm open to try it though, it looked like something that i wanted to try. In Equestria, it was pretty much only griffins and some other weird things that normally ate them. I'v never heard of bacon before though, what is it?" Asked Dash. My mother was already starting to cook the eggs and bacon. Ugh...time for this already...
"I'ts...uh...pork." Dash just gave me another confused glance. I just sighed and hoped that she wouldn't have a "pig."
She displayed a expression of disgust. I was ready for it though, I quickly pulled out my phone that i already pre-loaded a video of pigs running face first into a barn to. She chucked at the animals. "Animals can't think for themselves. Animals always eat each other in this world. Sharks always eat their babies, the babies have to be smart enough to sneak away before the parents eat them. Lions and cheetahs always eat other animals, they chase them down and take chunks out of them. Humans always eat pigs, chickens, cows, and fish. It's not like they feel any pain either. I'm pretty sure it's better if we eat them then the rest of nature."
"I see what your saying, but still...It's pretty messed up. This world is depressing! So everything in this world eats each other pretty much." Dash said thinking about this new universe.
"It's not like they feel pain... Anymore." My brother snickered as he shoved a piece of bacon into his mouth.
"NOT HELPING!" I whipped my head around to him."Not all animals, just predators. Humans really only eat those four animals though. It's not like we eat dogs or ponies or some crap like that. Japanese might, i'm not sure. Then again, one guy ate a plane over there, they eat everything..." I said. My voice trailed off as i thought about the video of the guy eating a plane. "Just try a piece of bacon before you make a final decision." I walked over to the stove and grabbed a piece of bacon from the first batch that my mother had already made.
"A pony eating a pig..." My brother stared off into his thoughts. "Seems legit."
"Shut up." I snapped at him. "It's not like pigs are able to make a coherent thought! I would say that they are treated pretty nice before the day that... We get them."
I held it out in front of her as she eyed it cautiously. I could tell that she was enticed by the aroma that came from the crispy slice of pork. "OK, fine, ill try it..." She took it with hoof and thought about reconsidering. She then shrugged that i could tell meant 'what the fuck.' She bit off a part and chewed the greasy, crispy slice of bacon before announcing: "That...was...delicious."
"Thank you, Rainbow Dash." My mother said smugly. She was fine now around Dash. That was fast, they're acting like when I have a school friend over now.
"YES! See? If we're not suppose to eat them then why are they so tasty?" I insisted. "Although, I wouldn't keep eating it in your world if you end up going back. I think they would frown upon that..." I chuckled.
We then all sat down at the table and ate our late breakfast after my mother finished cooking. Dash was trying eggs for the first time. She had to pick the fork up with both of her hooves. "The white part of this is good, but this yellow stuff in the middle tastes kind of weird though." She was poking the egg with a fork she picked up with her mouth.
"That's the yolk, i'v never been a fan of it either." said my brother who was devouring his breakfast. "It's better with toast. Oh yea, hey, mom are we watching paranormal activity tonight?" My brother asked hopefully.
"Yea, fine...if that's your choice." She saw that Dash was about to ask a question. "We have family movie nights, we take turns picking the movie." She sighed. "He chose that one."
"Yup! So make sure you have clean underwear on cause your going to shit yourself!" My brother said jokingly but still kind of serious.
"Is it really that scary?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"You'll see..." Even my mother giggled a little at thought of Rainbow Dash watching Paranormal Activity for the first time.
"Are you seriously fucking stretching for this movie?!" It was around ten at night and we were all in the living room. Dash and I were sitting on opposite ends of the brown couch in our living room waiting for my mother to load a movie. We were watching my brother getting himself limber for Paranormal Activity three. "You have got to be joking!"
"It's a scary movie, OK?" My brother retorted as he tried to touch his toes.
"Your eighteen and your that scared of this movie?" Dash cackled. "That's hilarious!"
"A pony that is on our couch is mocking you right now." Rainbow Dash pulled up her hoof to instigate a brohoof. She wanted my brother to know that we were both against him. My knuckles met her hoof for the second time. Do not let them know that your about to cry from how awesome that was...com'on poker face! "That just happened." Dash and I turned to give him a smirk.
"Shut up! You've been in this world, what, a day and a half?" He paused from stretching to make his comeback to me and Dash. "You came from a world that little girls, and Jack, watch for entertainment! What were your movies like? Bunch of fairies get lost in a store! Did you even have movies?"
"Kind of, most films were educational and informed people of stuff, they were pretty bad. And we didn't have these things either." Dash pointed her hoof to the Television with a blank expression. "Ponies use projectors."
"Exactly, so you can't say crap until you see the movie." My brother finished.
"Well, SHE can't say anything, but I still can. Your a vagina, this movie isn't that scary that you have to limber up before watching it." I said with a laugh in my voice. "Also, that show is awesome. Don't you be talking shit about it."
"ENOUGH! I'm going to bed and i don't want to hear you all arguing the entire night." My mother interrupted before my brother could open his mouth to respond. She pressed a button on the remote as she was getting up off the couch and the movie started. "Enjoy your terrible movie. Rainbow Dash, i hope you have a nice stay while your here. Have a good night, i'm going to bed."
"Aww, mother bear doesn't want to watch the movie with us? What happened to family movie night?" My brother asked sarcastically. He finished his pre-movie stretch and was now spread out on the tan L couch.
"Yea, well, ask your two older brothers that don't live here anymore and your father who is still in D.C. So i guess Rainbow Dash will be my replacement for the evening. I hate your movies, they're either stupid or horrifying. By the way, Jack, you will be sharing your bedroom with Rainbow Dash while she's here. She is not sleeping on the couch! I'll see you all in the morning." And with that my mother started to climb the stairs to her bedroom.Dash and I looked each other to see if the other cared about sharing the room. We both just shrugged, it was no big deal to us.
As the movie started playing a thought ran through my head. I feel like i'm forgetting something...I remember that it was something kind of important. "Hey, Dash, are we forgetting something? I feel like there was something that we were going to do."
"I know what your talking about. I forgot what it was too though." We sat up on the couch trying to search through our brains for what we were missing.
"Whatever, we'll remember it eventually." Dash gave up. We laid back down on the couch to watch the movie.
***
"com'on Toby!" The two little girls in the movie ran up the stairs followed by their creepy witch grandma. We then heard the sounds of some large invisible demon stomped past the mangled body of the main character. Better then I expected...pretty damn terrifying, but entertaining. I turned on the lights and looked around the room to see my brother straddling a couch cushion. My dog asleep as always in the middle of the floor, completely oblivious to anything that happens here. And A trembling Rainbow Dash who was holding on to my leg for safety, turned to me with wide eyes, mouth gaping when the credits started playing.
"HOW...WHY...DO YOU WATCH THINGS LIKE THIS?" I don't think she liked it.
"You didn't like it? You realize the point of it is to be scared, yes?" I said with a smirk on my face. "For some reason people don't think this is scary at all... i think it's like a thing with genes."
"I loved it! Although I desperately need to release my bowels...WHERE IS THE CAN!?" Shouted my brother, getting off his comfort pillow to rush to the bathroom.
I turned back around to Dash "Pretty good right? Are you not thoroughly terrified right now?" I asked Dash with a chuckle. She still had a petrified expression.
"Celestia, I don't know, or even want to know how they thought this up." Her horrified face was broken by a grin. "I have no idea why I liked it either."
"I knew it! I knew that you would end up liking it!" I proclaimed with a smile of victory plastered on my face. "Let's face it, people like to be scared for some reason, it's weird.
"Absolutely NOTHING is even close to being like this in Equestria! It was so intense..." She seemed to love the concept of horror movies now. "I mean look at me! I'm literally shaking!"
Without the movie keeping me awake, a wave of exhaustion swept over me. I checked the clock to see the time. It was already one in the morning. "ugh...well i'm going to bed after I take a SHOWER." I emphasized. I got up off the couch and was slowly walking to the stairs.
Rainbow Dash looked away and averted eye contact. "OK, i'll probably be asleep by the time you finish." She said still trying to avoid my gaze.
"Alrigh- wait, hold up, How long does it normally take you to shower?" I asked her at the edge of the couch.
"I dunno around thirty minuets?" She guessed.
"Why does it take you that long!? It takes humans about ten minuets maybe five." I replied as she looked over her shoulder at me.
"How are you that fast? Do you even use soap?" Dash questioned.
"I think that would be a better question for you. And yes, I do, we're probably fast because we have fingers! I continued towards the stairs as i shook my fingers in front of my face for Dash.
"Tentacles." She commented before I ran up the stairs.
***
I opened the door to my room after my shower and saw that Rainbow Dash had already claimed my bed once more. I remembered the night before, how cold the floor was with the thin blanket and the tiny pillow. I wasn't going to sleep there again. "NOPE! Not tonight! Last night sucked I was freezing the entire night. I thought that it wouldn't be that bad but I was wrong."
"Well, I like this bed, it's pretty comfortable. So i think i'll just stay here. If you want it then you'll have to take it." She gave me another look that said she challenged me. "You can just lay back down on the flo-"
I didn't let her finish her challenge, my feet were already off the ground. It seemed like time slowed down. I could see the expression of shock take a hold on her face when I landed on the bed beside her. Before she could resist I was already under the warm blankets of the bed and anchored down like a boulder. "yea, my brother tries that crap all the time." She tried to push me out of the bed. "That's not going to work...Good night!" Dash eventually gave up and just laid down next to me.
She just sighed at her defeat and just replied "good...night."
WINNER!
