How and Why? Season 2!
Chapter 8: Foals and Apples
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Right this way!" Pinkie has taken me and Echo upstairs, and to the twin's room. Pinkie opens the door to show two crying little foals; Pumpkin and Pound Cake, the sad thing being they're crying. I slowly walk to them, and sit on the floor. It makes me look less intimidating to them. When I sit in front of them they look at me with childlike curiosity. I lower my voice to a softer tone. "Good, now watch." I reach both hands to grab my head, and pull it off, I then drop my head on the floor. Much to the foal's amusement, they giggle profusely. "Huh... so they like torture as a form of entertainment."
"What?"
"I mean that they think it's funny to others in pain, and they think I'm in pain."
"Oooohh!" She thinks for a second. "I got an idea!"
"Just hit me in the chest as hard as you can."
"*gasp* How did you know I was gonna do that!?"
"Great minds think alike my dear Pinkie." My body picks up my head and puts me back on my neck. I then get up and stand three feet from the twins. "Before you punch the crap outta me, Echo?" She's been on my shoulder this whole time. "I need you to be with Pinkie for this." Echo nods happily and flies into Pinkie's mane. "Ok, now go for it Pinks!"
"Okie dokie lokie!" She rears up on her hind legs, pulls back a hoof, and punches me right in the gut. I then explode into a pile of body parts. The twins are loving it. They're practically laughing at this point, but like a baby version of full-blown laughter. Even Pinkie and Echo are laughing, I think, with Echo though... it's more like silent laughter; you can see her laughing, but ya don't hear anything. Not too weird, animals in this world don't have vocal cords that evolved. Anyway... My body parts levitate as it's put back together with my magic.
"I guess that works... That's not a good thing..."
"Why do you say that?"
"Little foals enjoying seeing others in pain? Not a good combo Pinks."
"Hmm... You have a point..."
"Eh... As long as I'm here that won't be a problem. And I think my job is done here, so I guess I'll be going, come on Echo lets go home." Echo, who was perched on Pinkie’s back, screeches softly slash quietly, flies up to me, and lands on my shoulder. “See ya later Pinks.”
“Bye Streaky!” We wave to each other as I walk out of the room and out the bakery, I then blink us back to my room of our house.
“Hey Echo? Wanna see something cool?” She looks at curiously, but nods either way. “Alright, lets go to our house.” I blink us back to my, or our at this point, room and present to her the laptop, specifically what’s displayed on the screen. While she’s looking at it I get close to her. “I created my own species.” I whisper in her ear. I didn’t expect her to understand, but surprisingly she did, or at least I think so, her face says she knows what I mean. “You know what I mean right?” Echo turns to me, and slowly nods. “Huh… didn’t expect you too… That’s cool.” I shake my head to clear my thoughts. “Anyway, do you like it?” She turns back to the screen, then back to me. And a great big smile takes her face, while nodding enthusiastically. I grin widely. “Thanks Echo.” I put a finger between her ears. “Now lets see if this thing will spawn one.” I motion with a hand at the platform.
I put the laptop back on the desk it was on and sit in front of it. The ‘convert to real life’ button is blinking, waiting… Wanting me to click on it, very slowly, I move the cursor across the screen with a finger (touchscreen), it takes me a few seconds, but I finally press on the button. As soon as I touched it a little bright white dot appeared on the platform. As I got closer to inspect it it got bigger, it wouldn’t stop growing in size. It just kept getting bigger and bigger until it was about my height. That’s when some appendages and a head started to sprout. It grew what looked like arms, legs that looked like a dog, and two more wing-looking things out of it’s back. When the appendages stop growing a bright flash blinds me and Echo. It didn’t effect me but it still blocked my vision from seeing anything. The bright light quickly went as fast as it came, leaving behind the fruit of my labor. A fucking fox dragon! And it’s a male, not wearing clothes... anyway! His eye are closed. I use this time to heal Echo and tell her that I will be back. She nods and got comfy on her perch as I opened a portal to earth…
*Ok, first get rid of this waste land* I wave my right arm high as a wave of pure magic consumed the land, leaving behind a grassy field that looked endless. I made that wave last long enough to cover the entire earth. Replacing the polluted air, dirt and water with completely clean versions of them. I even had to recreate plants and animals.
“Who, are you..?” I guess he gained consciousness…
*FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK…* “Who I am is not important, you are my main priority.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re my creation.”
“You created me?” I nod, he crosses his arms and his face says ‘prove it’. “Prove it.”
“Fine.” I snap my fingers, I used my chaos magic the bring my laptop and platform here. Without wasting time I load up his female equivalent and spawn her, and the whole process is repeated on the platform. After the bright flash there she was, just standing there, pink with white fur, no clothes... same scheme for the wings, I should also mention the male has an orange with white color scheme, and same goes for his wings. OH! I forgot! To avoid the whole ‘pollution’ thing, I gave them basic knowledge of survival, without any modern and modern tools to help them. I look from the female to the male. He has a face of pure awe. “Proof enough for ya?”
“...” Just then the female gasps and gains consciousness. She looks around then at me.
"Who and what are you!?" She asks.
"He's our creator..." The female looks at the male.
"Who are you too?"
"The only male version of you on the entire planet. Same goes for you missy."
"WHAT!?"
*Ok, not dealing with this shit* I grab both there heads and change there mentalities, and erase their recent memory. When I'm done I let go of there heads, and they fall to the floor. I fly up past the atmosphere and get a good look at the new planet. I've never seen it so green and blue. *So that's what it looked like before we fucked it up. I just hope theses new fuckers won't fuck it up either. And now to add this...* I spawn a piece of obsidian, and engrave an image of me above the male and female I just created. I then send it to the earth, being held high on a rock pedestal. I then conjure a clock that displayed the speed of time, right it's one to one; normal time. I set it at zero point zero zero one to three hundred and sixty five; one millisecond on Equestria equals a year on this planet. I open a portal back to Equestria and walk in. *All I need to do is wait half a year and i'll come back to see what happens...* I make a mental note to do that. I walk back to Equis, more specifically my room.
"STREAK!!" Apparently Mac, Bloom and Granny have been looking for Aj, I think... I kinda skimmed this episode, don't know much of what happened.
"Yeah!?" I say as I come out, I am met by Mac, Bloom, Granny, and the girls. And some ponies of the Apple Family. "Applejack?" They nod. "Letter says she's not coming back?" They nod again. "Dodge."
"Thanks! Come on girls!"
"Hold it!" The girls stop in their tracks. Pinkie holding her hind legs together. "Blink!" I say with a smile as I blink me, Echo, and the mane six to Dodge. "Alright, have fun." The girls gallop off to find Aj, and Pinks goes to the filly's stall. I, meanwhile, will be having fun with the townsponies. Just by walking around with no fucks given, it was fucking hilarious, though some of the ponies recognized me. And one particular pony did so; Cherry Jubilee. When she saw me she was like,
"Why if it isn't Prince Golden Streak!" I turn around and see that she's at the front door of her home.
"Ah, Miss Jubilee. Nice to meet you."
"Oh please! Calm me Cherry!"
"Alright Cherry, have you seen the girls?"
"Why yes I have! They're cherry sorting with Applejack out back!"
"Thank you Cherry, it was nice meeting you." I walk around behind Her house to see a big barn, and a big commotion is coming from it. My eyes flash orange as I blink inside. Skittles, Rares and Twi are arguing with Aj. And Aj's in the wheel thing... galloping faster as the argument progresses. I look over to Pinks and Flutters, they're not having a good time. The faster Aj goes the faster the cherries come out. I convert some of my magic to pure electricity, then feed it to myself, and everything sloooows down. To the point where everything looks like it's one thousand frames per second, or just really fucking slow mo. Fucking slow, anyway, I walk over to the cherry belt and sort out all the red cherries from the yellow ones, filling out a lot of bins. I then walk over to where Aj was running on that.... thing. An idea pops in my head and I grab it, making it stop spinning, without letting her slow down. I slowly walk backwards as everything comes back to real time. Wait… is it me slowing down? Or time speeding up..? Eh… I’m just gonna go with me slowing down from the rush of electricity. Anyway, as everything speeds back up, Aj gallops up the inner side of the giant wheel thing, almost doing a full loop. But she stops just as she’s upside down.
“What in the hay!?” I think she stayed in the air too long to be considered obeying gravity. Good thing the universe agreed with me about that, because she fell right on back. I couldn't help but burst out into full-blown laughter. And I think the girls quickly caught on to what happened.
“Streak? When did you get here?” Or not…
“Just when you, Rares and Skittles were arguing with Aj. Before that I helped Pinkies and Flutters sort the cherries.”
“What?” The girls look over to Pinkie and Flutters. And they’re amazed to see the bins of red and yellow cherries. Skittles looks back at me.
“How the buck did you do that!?”
“Rainbow! Language!” I smirk at Skittles as sparks of electricity dance across my body. And yes, we completely ignored Rares.
“Remember that time you struck me with lightning?”
“Oh yeah! I remember that!” She says with a chortle.
“Well, I found that when electricity is flowing through my body, it and my mind go into hyperdrive.”
“Hyperdrive?” I nod.
“Basically it means that either time slows down for me or my mind and body have gained so much speed that the worlds looks slow around me, and I used that to help Pinks and Flutters. And I had a little fun with Aj.”
“That would explain why ah almost ran a full loop in this thing.” Aj mutters as she canters off of that fucking wheel thing. I don’t know what it’s called ok?
“I just remembered to ask ya somethin’ Aj, did you tell the girls why aren’t coming back to Ponyville yet?” She scowls at me.
“No Ah haven’t! And Ah’m not gonna tell ya either!” She stays silent, but realization takes her. “Wait. Does that mean?” I nod and her eye bug out. “I swear-!”
“Relax Applebutt. I’m not gonna tell them. You are.”
“Whaddya mean by that?” She’s still scowling at me. But I don’t say or do anything that can hint towards Pinkie. Instead I just stare with thee most blank face I can muster. I like doing that, it creeps them out. And it sure is creeping Aj out. Without another word, I turn around and walk out the door, I spot Echo in the rafters and look at her. She sees me and flies to my shoulder with a smile on her face, I smile back. As I’m leaving I’m followed by Skittles, Flutters, Twi, Rares and Pinks. Skittles flies up in my face.
“Are you going to tell us why Aj’s here or not!?” She asks a bit snappishly.
“No.”
“WHY NOT!?” She practically screams.
*Glad to be a fuckin’ robot* “Because, I want to see you girls use the big guns.” I turn around and look at Pinks. “Ya ready Pinks?” She nods. “Ok, Aj should be bucking Cherries right now, I’ll take all ya to her. You girls know what to do right?” They all nod. “Alrighty then. Lets do it.” And with that, I cast an invisibility spell on all of us except for Pinks, while teleporting all of us to where Aj’s bucking trees…
“She’s sooo didn’t see this coming!”
“Ya mind shutting up before Aj hears us? Kinda kills the plan.” Skittles clams up. By now Pinks has already started to spew words pertaining to cherry changas and chimicherrychongas. Try saying that three times fast. With every passing second we all watch as Aj gets more annoyed, it’s only when Pinks rants about pickle barrel for five seconds Aj breaks.
“For Celestia’s sake make it stop!” Aj crouches to cover her ears, futile. I nod to Skittles and she flies in to cover Pinkie’s muzzle.
“Only if you tell us why you won’t come back to Ponyville!”
“Never!”
“Alright then!” She remove her hoof from Pinkie’s muzzle.
“Isn’t it funny to say pickle barrel? Picklebarrel picklebarrel picklebarrel!”
“ALRIGHT! I’ll tell ya! But tomorrow at breakfast, I’m mighty tuckered out.” She rubs an eye, to make her point.
“Pinkie Promise?” Me and Pinks ask at the same time, making the crossing motion covering one eye. You can pretty much guess why we did it.
“Fine.” She crosses her heart and puts of hoof over an eye. Pinks is reassured by the gesture, but I know what the fuck’s gonna go down.
“It’s getting late, you all should probably find a place to sleep in.”
“There’s an Inn by the train station, you guys can check in there. But what about you?” I smirk.
“I don’t need to sleep, remember?”
“Oh.” It takes her a minute but she figures what I mean. She scowls at me, then looks at the floor. “Dag nabbit.” She mutters to herself.
“Goodnight girls. Echo?” I look at her, she nods happily and flies into Pinkie’s mane. The mane six say their goodnights to each other and me. I watch as Aj heads back to Cherry’s house, and the rest of the girls head off to where Aj said the Inn would be. And I just fly up to a cloud, and rest on it. *No wonder Skittles naps on them all day… It’s like laying fluffy gelatin! I just wonder how this cloud is supporting my shiny metal ass...* I sink a little into the cloud, but I still stay on it. With that I wait until dawn.
--------->>>>The next day at dawn<<<<---------
The sun’s barely rising over the horizon, and I spot Aj as she’s leaving Cherry’s home. I cast an invisibility spell and follow her on the ground. Now’s one of those times it’s good that I’m a silent walker. By the time Aj gets to the train station the suns just above the horizon. Aj looks like she's in a bit of a rush.
Next Chapter*I wonder why...* I think dryly. The sun's raised a little more, like an inch. What? I'm fucking bored! I had to wait eight fucking hours for this! Of course I measure shit out of boredom! Anyway, I-...
*Pinkie's mad, she's mad. FuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckFUCK! I walk closer to Aj. She's dancing on her hooves. I'm hoverng a few yards above Aj. *SHE'SCOMINGSHE'SCOMINGSHE'SCOMINGSHE'SCOMING!*
"APPLEJACK!"
