Day Shift in Equestria
Well...wanna make a bet?
Load Full StoryNext ChapterLet's re-cap on everything that's happen so far. I'm sucked into Celestia werid portal hole, hit by my bowling ball in the head as I travel through and knocked out for three days straight. Oh I also wake up to be body launched off my bed since somepony decided to think it's be a good idea to set the same ball at the end of my bed and have it roll off and hit the bed controls. Then again I'm a Pollock so I would do the same thing probably, maybe. Then I meet with Celestia and find out the reason why they showed up in my world; he magic sparked as she teleported with her sister and ended up transporting herself, sister, Twilight and her friends to my world. Since I woke up she, Luna and this Discord have been looking for my way back. Speaking of Discord, I can't describe him for my life. He's literally everything thrown together.
But anyway, so I get sent to Ponyvile to live there with Twilight and her friends, since Applejack and Rainbow Dash were worried about me. I think Applejack just wanted more fried pickles but I could be wrong. Anyway after figuring out where I'm staying, which is Twilight's rock of a couch, I get dragged around learning about the very colorful place and also finding out how fast I can run since the townsfolk freaked out and chased me. Twilight had to give an announcement in her small castle about me and my being here. So now I'm not being chased but I do get the weird stare from time to time. I understand since I look so ~~Beautiful~~ OK who am I kidding, I can't even say that with a straight face. I'm lucky to have Twilight as a friend too, she helped me land a job at their bowling alley.
Yeah another alley. It doesn't even have a name! Just pins and a ball glued to the front of the building. Maybe if I get stuck here I'll open a business with a potato on the front of it, but sell chips instead! Yes that'll be the greatest evil plan ever! But they might not know what potato chips are. Oh well, I'll figure out something later.
But I do enjoy the job none the less. I was able to enhance their snack bar with new foods that don't have meat and meet most of the townsfolk which all seem pretty nice. Yes even in this peaceful world there are some bad seeds here. But you must expect that when you work in this kind of business. Anyway I'll leave this entry for now.
Time since I've arrived:1 week 2 days.
I shut the book and toss it onto the table behind me. I grab my bowling gear and head out. I was lucky that both my sneakers and bowling shoes came with me so I won't destroy my stuff. I walk out into the humid morning air. It was just gonna be another hot day, since the sun from the night before settle with a deep orange color to it. Even if that ball of fire is controlled I still can predict the heat in this place. After fifteen minutes of walking I finally reach the alley, unlocking the door and walking into the silent alley. I'm greeted by my manger and the mechanic of the alley and the day eventually starts. Noon eventually rolls around and three cute fillies come in with smiles on their faces.
"Well hello there, Cutie Mark Crusaders. What are you girls up to?" I ask them as they walk up to the front desk.
"We would like a lane, please?" Sweetie belle asks.
"Is this gonna be a one game or would like an hour to bowl?" I ask, typing away at the commuter
"Just a game for each of us," replies Apple Bloom..
"Alright, you're on lane nine girls, have a fun time," I smile to them as they walk away. It's been a rather slow day, only five lanes have been used so I go to the snack bar and grab a cup of water. I go back to the desk and sip my water quietly, watching the little ones bowl. Sweet kicks the ball and it flies right into the gutter.
"Come on, why is bowling so hard!" she yells down the lane. Scootaloo starts laughing and Apple Bloom smacks her in the back of the head. I set my water down and walk over to their lane.
"What happened Sweetie Belle?" I ask.
"This stupid ball won't hit the pins. It just misses so I'm getting another!" she pouts and levitates a ball off the wrack behind us. I kick off my shoes and pick her ball up off the ball return. I look up to the score to see she's up for her spare.
"Is it ok to take your spare shot, Sweetie? I wanna try something." I ask her.
"Fine but you're gonna miss with that ball," she replies.
Go to put my fingers in the ball but realize there's no holes to fill them in so I decide to double hand the ball. I refer to it as 'kamahamaha-ing the ball' or 'Jason Belmontie-ing' it. Yes I don't like the idea of two handed bowling but that's because I'm old school, yo! But anyway I set up and shoot the ball down the lane. It starts to get close to the right gutter but snaps and drive right into the pocket, clearing the rack. I turn around to see their jaws hitting the floor. I start laughing at them as they continue to stare down the lane.
"I think the ball's fine, Sweetie," I say.
"But..what..how did you do that?" Scootaloo asks.
"Lots of practice. I've been bowling since I was your age and continued to grow. And if I've learned anything in this sport is that you must learn patience. Nothing will change overnight no matter how hard you try. And Sweetie, next time you shoot, aim for the head pin for your best count." I turn around to see some customers starring at me in anger. I run back to them and serve them, as I approach the first customer, the crowd starts cheering me for some reason.
"That was awesome!" a filly shouts.
"More please!!!" a colt yells.
After quieting and serving the crowd quickly as possible, the CMC finished their game and left. All three of them thanking me for the good time they had and I tell them it's fine. After a few minutes a mare come to desk up set.
"Hey there are four fillies fighting outside and you better stop them!" she tells me in a angry tone. I thank her and walk outside to see what's happening.
"Well sorry you three still can't get your marks." Diamond Tiara yelled. Well this explains why there's fighting. She is always annoying no matter what you do and will whine about anything, even cut grass,she'll find someway to whine about it.
"Stop fighting, all of you!" I shout and they all look at me in fear.
"She started it!" They all yelled at once.
"What happened?" I ask.
"She started making fun of us since we couldn't get our bowling cutie marks," Scootaloo answered.
"Well it's true. You all tried before and didn't achieve them then. So just give up!" Diamond starts laughing.
"Hey that's not nice to say," I reply.
"Oh no the monkey's upset. Doesn't matter what you say, you're not a pony!"
"He may not be a pony but he's definitely a better bowler then you, Diamond!" Apple Bloom shouts. I turn to the little one in surprise but then Diamond fires right back.
"Yeah right! No one can beat my daddies pro team!" she yells with a smirk.
"Wanna make a bet?" I ask. I have no clue why i asked but I'm getting sick of not bowling anyone.
"I do! You'll lose in a blink of an eye."
"Fine ask your dad if he can set up a match and stuff and send me the info. So go now and tell him and I don't want anymore fighting between any of you," they nod and I walk back inside. The rest of the day passes without problems and eventually my shift ends. I get back to Twilight's castle and I'm greeted by a very angry princess.
"What's the matter,Twilight?" I ask.
"Here, I have a letter from, Filthy Rich, addressed to you." Oh no is all that slips through my mind as I take the letter from her magic grip.
