The Story Of Rinald McDinald (say the 'i' for a longer period of time)
What are you doing in my house?
Previous ChapterRinald didn't have any time to think before the human jumped on him and screamed his name again.
"What are you doing!?" asked Rinald, looking around. Rinald then realized he had a knife lying right next to him, and made a lunge for it. Rinald grabbed the knife in his hooves and gasped, as he saw the human back off.
"What are you DOING!?" asked Rinald again. The human tilted his head to the left and looked deeply into Rinald's eyes.
"Well, I teleported myself to this land, Equestria, using my very common and incredibly powerful index finger, all the way from Outdoor Ed, in the United States of America, which I presume you do not recognize from any books, since humans, I understand, are not very common in this land of yours," he said with a plain tone in his voice. "Do you have Minecraft here?" he asked, looking around the house and propping his glasses back up his nose.
"Teleported? Index finger? Outdoor Ed? United States of America? Hu-humans? Minecraft?" said Rinald, confused.
"Yes, exactly," he said.
There were a few moments of silence, except for Rinald McDinald's accelerated breathing.
"So, what are you doing here?" asked Rinald. The human shrugged.
"I guess I'm looking at you, standing, breathing, living, a bunch of more things," answered the human. Rinald shook his head.
"No, I mean, what are you doing here, in my house,"
"Oh! You coulda just said that," said the human.
"But what are you doing in my house?" asked Rinald.
"Well, I was looking for Riiiiiinald McDiiiiiiinald, but since in my world nobody's going to name their child Riiiiiinald McDiiiiiiinald, I went looking for Riiiiiinald McDiiiiiiinald here, in Equestria,"
"But how did you even find me? You don't seem to have a horn for making tracking spells. Or wings to fly," said Rinald.
The human shrugged again. Rinald nodded.
"I was baking apple fritters if you're interested,"
"No thank you my friendly carrot,"
"What?"
"Carrot. Just like Thai Lily, you guys are carrots,"
Rinald didn't listen to the parts about carrots, but decided not to bake the apple fritters after all.
"Should we go and sit down?" asked Rinald, motioning to his living room with a lot of sofas. The human shrugged again, but walked over to the sofas with Rinald anyways.
"So," started Rinald when they were both seated. "Who are you?"
"I'm a person with a vivid imagination," he answered. Rinald sighed.
"I meant your name,"
"I'm Ian," he said, playing with the fringe of his shirt.
"What are you wearing?"
"Clothes," answered Ian.
"No, I meant, what do you call them in the human world?"
"Pants, shirts, socks, shoes, underpants, glasses," said Ian, showing and pointing each one out to Rinald McDinald.
"And, I, for some reason, still don't understand what you're doing in my house," said Rinald with a slight tone of defeat in his voice.
"Well, I was looking for you-"
"Why?" interrupted Rinald.
"Cause I want to. Just like my friend Aidan chases worms, and my friend Thai Lily chases soccer balls, and my friend-"
"But why me? There must be another Rinald McDinald in this vast world!" said Rinald. But Ian shook his head, which indicated Rinald that there was no other pony, or human for that matter, with his same name.
"Why the name 'Rinald McDinald? Why not my twin brother Ronald McDonald?" asked Rinald, only receiving another shrug from Ian.
"Sounds weird, Ronald McDonald. I prefer RIIIIIINALD MCDIIIIINALD!" he screeched again. Rinald covered his ears with his hooves, tired of hearing his name for that day.
"You know what, get out of my house! I can't take it! I bet Ronald sent you after me anyways!" said Rinald, returning to his grumpy self.
"Sure," said Ian, running to the front door, standing outside. Rinald looked through the peephole and saw Ian's eye looking at him back. Rinald ducked down.
A FEW MINUTES LATER...
Rinald couldn't take the guilt anymore. He was sorry he had been mean to Ian, and even though he might be an annoying human, at least he wasn't crying on the front doorstep or something. So with a great sigh of relief, Rinald McDinald let the weirdest person in all of Equestria enter his house, about to change his life forever.
