My name is Typing Bolt.... and this is the story of how i saved my parents from a murderer.
I awoke, covered in sweat, head aching, blood boiling. I looked around, to see if anything was around me. Just the same old bedroom. "Ah... It was only a dream," I said to myself, relieved. I looked over at the clock and saw my clock, reading 7:50... I overslept! I rushed out of my bed and out the door.
"Hey Type!" my neighbor yelled cheerily from his porch, waving as I raced by.
"Sorry dude, not now. running late!" I shouted back. Today was going be a great day for business. Why you may ask? Today, is the grand opening of my brand new store, and i was running late for the cutting of it's ribbon! How pathetic is that? I quickly ran over to Sugar Cube corner, and busted inside, only to be greeted with none other than Pinkie Pie herself.
"Whats the rush?" She asked curiously, looking over to me.
"I'm late for the opening of my own store!" I said hurriedly, irritably pacing her small store.
"Well then, let me get you your breakfast, and get you outta here!" She zoomed into the kitchen, only to pop out with a freshly baked muffin seconds later. "On the house." She said, with a happy grin on her face.
"Thanks so much Pinkie!" I said, hurrying out the door. I then proceeded to scarf down the muffin, and teleported to the shop.
"Well there you are!" Yelled the Mayor.
"Sorry. I accidentally overslept." I said.
"No matter. Get out there and greet everypony!" She said. I walked out of the store and froze. There were hundreds of ponies sitting out there. They all started to cheer at the sight of me. "H-H- Hello everypony!" i squeaked into the mic. I Had never imagined this many ponies would show up. I looked out into the crowd when i saw something that made my jaws drop. Princess Twilight Sparkle was out in the crowd, talking to Fluttershy! I almost fainted. Luckily, the Mayor spoke up for me.
"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! The first official computer store in Ponyville!" She then handed me giant, golden scissors, and I carefully cut the ribbon. "Is now OPEN!" Ponies flooded into the building, every once and a while stopping to congratulate me.
Yet there I stood, still in shock. I finally realized what was going on and I rushed into the store.
CUT TO NIGHT
I walked out of the store and flipped the Open sign to closed, locked the door, and trotted away. I was really freaking tired after all of the work i had to do. I had to walk the whole way, due to the fact i was so tired that I couldn't even use magic to teleport. When i walked through my door, a bundle of confetti and noise hit me.
"SURPRISE!" Everypony yelled, As my adopted parents came up and hugged me.
"Ah, thanks a bunch guys, but I really need to hit the hay. Lots of work to do tomorrow." I said, yawning.
"We underst-" Right then, a pony burst into my home. She was wearing a dark cloak, that looked pretty tore up. She limped up to me, and looked into my eyes.
"S-Son? Is that r-really you?" she asked. Right before i could react, she fell to the ground, and fainted. No pony said a word.
"Someone help me carry her to the hospital!" i yelled. One of my employees came and helped me lift her up. "Thanks for helping me, whats you name?" i asked.
"Sketch Lavander" she replied, in a gentle voice.
"Thanks Sketch, i owe you a HUGE favor."
"I will for fill that favor, even if it takes my life." she replied.
I snickered and said "Hopefully it won't come to that."
"Type..." my mother said weakly.
"Don't worry mom, i Will save you."
"no... I don't need saving, save your father..."
"wait, what?" i responded. She fell under, again.
"Hold on tight." i said to Sketch.
"hold o-" right before she could finish, we were at the hospital.
"Could you warn me next time you do that please?" Sketch said.
"Hey, i tried!" I argued. "Lets not argue, lets just get her to a room." I said. "Nurse!"
"Oh my Celestia, what happened?" asked the nurse.
"she walked into my house injured, and fainted." i said, panicking.
"alright, ill take her" the nurse said, guiding her into her room. "Just stay in the waiting room please."
"Will she be alright?" i asked.
"I have no idea." she responded. I sat down in the waiting room with Sketch, looking over at her when she tapped my shoulder.
"Hey, it'll be okay. She'll be okay." I looked at her.
"Thanks but, I don't even know if shes my my real mother! Heck, i don't even know who she is! I'm just so confused, and i have be working tomorrow!" i screamed. Everyone stared at me.
"Sorry." i said in a quiet voice.
"Don't worry man, i got your back." said Sketch. "Take the whole day off, ill cover for you, so that way you can visit your mother-"
"IF she's my mother."
"Right, IF she's your mother, you can take the day to talk to her."
"Thanks a bunch Sketch."
"No problem!" she said, beaming. I gave her a smile. The nurse walked through the door and said, "Mr. Typing Bolt, your mother would like to talk to you."
I got up and followed the nurse into my mothers room.
"Type... i need you to listen to me very carefully..." my mother said very weakly.
"Yes mother?"
"I need you to know how i got like this. It was long ago.. when you were only a filly."
FLASHBACK STARTS:
"Claire, dear, will you take out the trash?" Charlie had said.
"Sure thing!" I had said.
It was a normal day for me and your father. When all the sudden, I heard a knock at our door.
"Coming!" i had said in a sweet voice, as i had trotted over. I was just about to open the door when it burst open. Standing over me was a shadowy figure, that turned out to be none other than your fathers brother!
"Claire honey, what was th-" Your father walked in and had seen him, and knew what he had to do. He blasted his brother with a beam of magic, ran over to me and said,
"Claire, listen to me. It is a great importance that you do not let him take our little filly. Take him and run to the nearest town you can find, give him to a pony, and run back here, got it?" Charlie spit out at the time, with a tear in his eye.
"Charlie, but-"
"Just go!" He had said, almost crying." Take him and go!"
I jumped up, crying. I ran into your room, took you, and ran out the door. I ran, and ran, and didnt stop running. I stopped to rest, when i heard footsteps approaching.
"Give me him." Someone said in a deep voice.
"Never." i said, and teleported away... into Ponyville. I found the nearest house, knocked on the door, and put you on the porch. "Im so sorry." i said in tears. I then ran off, to save your father.
FLASHBACK ENDS.
"So wait, how did you end up back here?" I asked her.
"I went back and our house was filled with your uncle's goons. They attacked me on sight, and ive been forced to do slave work for your uncle ever since then. I had just today managed to escape. Just know, when you go to save your father, bring someone you trust with all your heart. I'm far too weak to accompany you. You will have to fight your way through his goons. In my bag, back at your house, i have a map that leads to where they are keeping your father." Claire explained.
"Hold on, i have work tomorrow! its the second day of the opening of my store! I have to be there!" I said angerly.
"That's why you have employees for, dear." she said with a smile.
"Oh yeah, i forgot. Alright then, mom. I will leave as soon as i get some sleep. I will see you tomorrow before i leave." I said, walking out.
"I love you.." she said, drifting to sleep.
"Love you too, mom." i said. I walked out into the waiting room and met with Sketch.
"So, how'd it go?" she asked curiously.
"Pretty good. Only one thing." i said with a smirk. "Pack your bags Sketch Lavender, we're going on an adventure."
