How and Why? Season 2!
Chapter 12: Keeping Track of Time
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Streaky!" God fucking dammit. I turn around and see Pinks smiling like a mad mare.
"Hey Pinks, Party time?"
"Not yet. Cranky's still mad at me. I just need to find his long lost love!"
"Oh yeeeaaah, Matilda." Pinks nods. "You now where she lives right?"
"I know where everypony lives silly!"
"Right, when does the party start again?"
"In the afternoon!"
"And why did you call me?"
"Just to say hi! HIIIII!" She then bolts off, leaving a Pinkie-shaped dust cloud.
"Oh Pinks, your... just too much of you." *If that made any sense...* Probably not, but at least Echo gets it. If her face says anything about it. Wait... "Pinks been teaching ya too huh?" She smiles mischievously and nods. "Hah! Awesome. Now to get the fuck home." I make my way home for the second or third time.
"Watch out!" Or Ditzy can crash into me, more like bounce off a me. "Ow..." And hurt herself again. I can see tiny versions of herself fly around her head.
"You ok Ditzy?" She looks at me. She's really fucking puppy beagle cute with her wall eyed.... ness. However the fuck you say that.
"I think so... Sorry for flying into you again." She flares he wings, only for one to half extend and tuck back to her side. "Ow..."
"C'mere." I walk get closer to Ditzy. "Just like last time." I say jokingly, Ditzy chuckles, but remembers her injured wing, making her hiss in pain. "Alright, lets end the pain." I kneel down and gently grasp the injured and use my magic to get an internal look, while closing my eyes; torn ligament, three fractures, and a broken bone. The broken bone at the tip of the bone structure. *Wow, she really hit me hard.* I think before I use my magic to heal the injuries. It only takes a few seconds, when I'm done I hear Ditzy sigh in relief.
"Thank you Streak, sorry again for flying into you."
"Eh... Don't sweat it Ditzy, everypony makes mistakes." I say as I stand back up. Ditzy looks up to me with a warm smile. Her wings flare, and with one powerful pump raises her to my eye level.
"Thank you." She says quietly, she then hugs me by the neck, and stays there for a few minutes. I can hear her softly sniffle, I feel something wet on my shoulder.
*She really has had it tough then... Wow, this place does have a dark side...* "You gonna be ok Ditzy?" I draws back from her hug. Her eyes are a little blood shot, red puffiness surrounding her eyes, she sniffs and nods.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. See ya later Streak." She waves to me as she ascends and flies off. I wave back and look to Echo.
"That was unexpected." She nods in agreement. "Yeah, lets just get home before anything else happens." I immediately put a hand over my mouth, you know that thing that happens in the show where somepony says something like what I just said, and that thing happens a second later? Yeah, I shouldn't of said that. Me and Echo look around for a few seconds, and nothing happens. *I guess the universe finally gave me some slack... Thanks.* I think as I make my way home. I get there in no time and retire for the night, after spending a few hours on the computer, I have no idea how it's still getting internet...
--------->>>>One motherfucking day later<<<<---------
Well... The party started, early in the morning, too fucking early, and lasted for about six hours. Cranky was... cranky about it. Until he met Matilda, at that point they got back together, and Cranky became friends with Pinks. I'd say even best friends, nah... That'd be exaggerating it. Anyway, the party lasted for another two hours before it ended. Where was I the entire time? Well, I was just in the background, talking with the ponies who were invited, might as well say the entire town was invited. As per a Pinkie Pie party. I'm explaining it like this because nothing worth remembering happened. Besides Cranky and Matilda being reunited. After that everypony went about town like nothing fucking happened. Weird....
Anyway! Fluttershy... After talking with Iron Will, the girls and I went to Flutters place. When she let us in, we talked. She yelled at us and tried to throw us out. But I reminded her who she really is, by explaining why being you is the greatest person to be. Fluttershy then proceeded to tear up and apologize for being a 'big meanie'. We easily forgave her, if you can believe that. Anyway, blah blah blah, fast-paced summaries aside. Add staying indoors for a few hours play some random fucking games. And I remember something that I forgot to do.
"Shit... Hey Echo." I look to Echo just as she looks to me. "You mind If I'm gone for a minute? I forgot to do something." She smiles and shakes her head. "Thanks, I'll only be gone for a minute." She nods as I open a portal to my world. I cast an invisibility spell before anyone sees me, even though I'm still in the same alley as last time. I then spawn the same tablet that controls the time laps here. I then set it to where one minute in Equestria equals a year here. I then open a portal and walk back to Equestria. "I'm back!" I say as I walk back into my room, Echo chirps happily while jumping on her branch. "Heh, can't be away from me that long?" I ask as I walk over to her and scratch her beind the ears. Her eyes lose focus and she closes them. *If I was human I'd die from a heart attack because of her cuteness.* I think to myself. When she's had enough scratching I go back to my desktop. And play the fucking night away...
--------->>>>Morning<<<<---------
After a fucking night of gaming I decided to go out and enjoy the rising sun, with Echo. She slept the entire night so she wasn't all groggy. When I got to town square, I saw that there some ponies about. I think that's kinda usual here, considering that there might be jobs that need ponies to get up this early. By now the sun is just peaking over the horizon, then I feel something. Something that I haven't felt in a while. A certain presence.
"Hello there Golden Streak." I hear from behind, I slowly turn around to see Chrysi. Standing before me.
"Chrysalis. Didn't think I'd see you again." My voice sounds a little strained, I'm trying to hold back all the names and profanities from being screamed to the heavens.
"You are to refer to me as 'Queen Chrysalis'!"
"And you are the queen of what exactly?" She stays silent. "Thought so. Anyway, how come I haven't seen you around until now?" She blows a strand of baby-barf green hair from her face.
"Because, I simply chose to stay hidden until now."
"And why have you decided to come out of hiding?" Before she answers I hear what sounds like a deflating balloon. It sounded like it came from behind Chrysi. I lean to the side and see a pony sized ball of pink hair with a face standing behind her, tongue hanging out of her muzzle and eyes looking like they don't have focus on anything. "Fluffle Puff?" she doesn't move, at all. A butterfly lands on her nose, she looks at it. Then to me, and back to the insect. In one quick motion she eats it, she ate a fucking butterfly, she just. Ate. A fucking. Butterfly. I straighten back up and look back to Chrysi. "She wanted you to come out here?" The bug nods, I get close and whisper into her ear. "Hurt a single hair on her body, or anypony for that matter, and I won't hesitate to remove you from existence." Chrysi's eyes shrink a little. But her face remains blank. "Good. Anyway, what do you plan to do?"
"I have no clue, she just wanted me to be out here." Her face contorts to confusion. "You look different..."
"Oh yeah! I made changed my body a little to look anthropomorphic. And as for this little pony here." I point to Fluffle, who somehow got next to me *Pinkie physics... God fucking dammit. I'm ok with one Pinkie, but TWO!! FUCKING SHIT!!* "You might wanna get used to her, fast." I turn around and walk off without saying another word. I can hear Chrysi calling me but I just ignore it. I keep walking around Ponyville for a while before I decide to head to the park and take a seat on one of the park benches. I had to change to my pony form to fucking sit on it, Lyra style. Me and Echo just sit there for a while, an hour to be exact. By now there are ponies everywhere, Tia's sun in full view. At that very moment I remember something that's very entertaining to have watch on the fucking show. I teleport me and Echo to Twi's place, it's completely trashed. Books and papers everywhere. "I better not have been late." I mutter as Twi canters into the living room.
"Streak!? When did you get here!?" Her mane isn't a mess yet, perfect.
"Just got a second ago. And WOW you need to clean this place up."
"That doesn't matter! I need to make a scheduled for next month! And I don't have any time to make one!" I tune her out just as she rambles on about how she can move some meeting to next Tuesday. But then she would have to reschedule a picnic with Pinkie. Blah blah blah, while she's ranting her mouth off, she fails to noticed sparks flying from a ball of light. And a strong draft flowing through the place. String enough to pick up papers and books. When a book hits her in the back of her head she turns around. She's about to yell at me but words are stolen from her as the ball of light gets bigger and brighter. It stops growing when the light seems to fill the room. A loud 'pop' sounds out before the blinding light dies out. Leaving the smoking forms of future Twi, me and Echo, Twi in a weird crouching position and me and Echo just stand there. Twi has on a sorta torn black skin tight suit, eye patch, and a white cloth around her head. My future self and Echo are just fine, no differences can be seen. Future Twi stand up and looks at present Twi.
"Who are you? Are you me? How can you be me?" Present Twi speaks.
"I'm from the future, but that doesn't matter. I need to tell you something important!"
"You're from the Future!? How are you from the future? That's scientifically impossible. YOU'RE scientifically impossible. Did my future self find a time travel spell?" With that shit goin' on I look to my future self.
"Twi goin' insane over not being able to make a schedule for next month?" My future self nods.
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Why did you go with her?"
"Thought it'd be nice to see my past self. And to see if the space time continuum would fall apart. Guess it didn't." He says with a chuckle.
"Bet'cha that would happen if that happened on our world. That reminds me, how's our world coming along? Is it up to modern times?"
"Yeah it is, also-" He's interrupted by electricity dancing across his body. "Oh, right. See ya later I guess." We shake hands as he fades away.
"Later." I say just as my future self literally pops out of this time plane.
"Wait! Don't what!?" Twi yells to to the floor where Solid Snake Twi stood. Present Twi looks to me. "Streak! Do you know what I was going to warn me about?"
"Yes, doesn't mean I'm gonna tell ya."
"Why in Equestria not!?" She practically screams into my face.
"Because I rather not change fate. For something worst can happen if I mess with fate." Twi screams in despair, kinda exaggerating if ya ask me.
"AAAAAAAAAAARGH!" She puts her head between her hooves, holding her head as if she's having a migraine.
"Hey! Lighten up! All you need to do is figure out what you were going to say to yourself! Plus you're gonna learn another lesson."
"Really?" She looks up to me hopefully.
"Yeah, but that's all I'm gonna say." Twi grunts and looks away from me. "What are ya gonna do anyway?"
"Well, I think we should warn everypony and find out what horrible thing will happen!"
"You go do that, and I'll be at my house. Waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
"Waiting for everything to fall into place. Cause you technically caused your own problem." I then teleport me and Echo back to my underground home. Echo goes back to her branch while I spend the next week playing Minecraft and other games. *All questions will be answered soon Twilly. Soon enough, or on Tuesday if ya want to get technical about it.*
--------->>>>One mother fucking week later<<<<---------
Whelp, one motherfucking week later and here I am, in a black rubber suit in Canterlot, with Twi, Pinks and Spike. Allow me to explain what happened over the past week; Twi went berserk looking for 'the disaster' as she calls it. Getting Dash to get her squad to look all over Equestria for anything wrong. Also getting everypony in Ponyville to fix things like fill cracks in the dam and closing wounds in her own home. After her long as list is checked she thinks she stopped the disaster. After the ponies took two fucking days to fix every minor detail, my favorite being when Mac dropped Pinks when she fixed the crack in the wood support of a bridge. Anyway, the next morning after that I found out that Twi got a letter from Tia. But Spike burped it into her face, which gave her the same cut as Future Twi. That's when she decided to head over the Canterlot archives, more specifically to 'Sneak into the Star swirl the Bearded Wing' as she says it. We would've taken the train there, but I teleported us to save time, plus I didn't want the nobles that live here to nag and try to talk to me.
And now here we are, about to 'sneak' into the Canterlot Archives, Twi corrected me a while ago.
"You guys ready?"
"MMHMM! I'm super ready!"
"Yeah, whatever." Spike downs another bucket of ice cream. How the fuck can a baby dragon like Spike eat nothing but ice cream for a week and not get sick three days in? I will never understand how this universe fucking works. I think that's what separates me from an actual god now that I think about it...
"Lets just get this over with."
"Alright. Follow my lead." Twi then hides behind a tree, pokes her head out, then jumps from bush to bush. Making her rubber suit tear. While me, Pinks and Spike just walk on the trail that leads to the tower holding the archives. We walk as Twi continues to jump from bush to bush. We all near the tower when Twi stops us. "We need to sneak in somehow."
"Why the hell do we need to sneak in to a freaking library?" Censoring myself for Spike's sake.
"Yeah, can't we just walk in?"
"The guards aren't just going to let us go inside the place. No... we need to sneak in through a window. That window!" She points a hoof to a second story window. We all walk to where said window is, it looks big enough to fit me through.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'll see ya up there." I activate my thrusters, and flare my wings as I begin my accent to the window. I get there and hoover inside, then I sit on the floor to wait for the rest. It took ten minutes for Twi to come in through the window, followed by Spike and Pinks. Twi was pushed in, hard enough to hit the floor. Leaving her dazed for a second, a shake of her and she looks around.
"Alright the Star Swirl the Bearded Wing should be this way." She canters off the left side of the hallway. I look at her, then to the gated door that leads to the wing.
*You're such an idiot Twilight...* I think to myself as I watch Twi lead Pinks and Spike down the hall. While I just sit there and wait for them to return.
