Pranks, promises, and one very reluctant ghost hunt beginning
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSOMBRA
Nothing like a good ol broken leg to slow things down, but after a couple of days of healing me and Rainbow Dash were all better. "So, you got anything to do, because I'm bored out of my skull."
"Yes," I said in a sarcastic voice, "I just got out of the hospital and I've got a busy , busy schedule doing nothing."
"Well... I have something to do, It's called pranks, you wanna come?"
I thought about it, "meh, I don't have anything better to do." Well I do, and I need his promise not to tell anyone about the... incident.
"Great!" He said, "meet me at the lake in ten minutes!" He flew off, leaving me with only dust.
"Hey!" Us mortals have to walk ya know." Shaking my head, what have I gotten myself into.
We meet at the lake and I saw... a giant slingshot? "Why is that there?" I said she simply pointed to a stack of water balloons lying next to her. "Oh." I said before trotting over.
"What?!" she said, "that's just not fair!" I looked over to where she was looking, a pony had an umbrella.
"Just how often do you do this?" I said quizzically.
"Oh, ya know, sometimes when I'm bored."
"How often are you bored?"
"Lately with so few monster attacks, a lot."
"Ah," then I had an idea, "Fire It behind him,just trust me on this one."
"Alright, if you say so." She said firing the catapult. I still had tiny bit of magic and it almost nothing to make a small ramp across the lake, I watched as the balloon went down,hit the ramp, and then hit the pony beside it.
"Heck yeah!" That was pretty awesome."
"Hey, I have a favor to ask you."
"Sure, what is it?"
"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PUHLEEZE don't tell the others about the incident!" I hate to grovel, But if the so called princess of friendship heard that I had put a curse on one of her friends that would be all she would need to blast me to cinders.
"Uh okay, no prob!" I eyed her suspiciously, that was WAY too easy. She's gonna tell, and I'm gonna get killed and, and- "You okay?" she said.
"Uh, yeah... I- just the fever, really." Wanna throw some more balloons?
TWILIGHT SPARKLE
"Princess!" A creature said falling from the sky. "Ah, there you are." the griffon said brushing of dirt. I recognized this griffon with a shudder, of all the people I wanted to see today he was at the bottom of my list
"Hey... Silver Quill."
"Well adou to you too twilight, have I mentioned that you look awfully fine today, did you get a new haircut?"
"I grimaced, "what do you want?"
"Well, you know that ruin that I may or may not be making into a castle ya know that one."
"The castle of two sisters."
"Yes that one, well I may need a tinny bit of help with a little something."
I sighed, "What is it."
"Well it may or may not be HAUNTED!" he yelled before fainting, and getting back up again almost immediately
I laughed, there was no such thing as ghosts, but I wanted to see him grovel a little bit more about it before I check out whatever was happening. "Please, by all means, explain."
"It all happened yesterday night, when I was looking over repairs and the midnight crew, when all of a sudden two ghosts appeared center stage, right at the throne room." One was like it was made of wind and emitted light, while the other seemed like a black hole, dragging all light into it, when we saw it we panicked and ran before we saw anything else."
"So let me get this straight, you, one of the most annoying people in the world, want me, to go to a quite possibly dangerous situation, to save your pet project?"
"More or less."
"Sure"
"PLEASE, I'll DO- what?"
"Why not? I'm sure that Rainbow Dash would like it, and I'd like to see what these 'ghosts' are, just one thing in return."
"What would it be?"
"I get all of the books in that castle, All of them."
"That's it?" Okay."
