The wrench chronicles (bioshock)
Chapter 13
Previous ChapterNext ChapterJack:
I woke up to see my six friends surrounding me, Twi had a surprised look in her face "were you just ... In my dream?" the train came to a stop and she nodded her head, the surprise slowly turning into anger.
I knew what to do, it would save me from a beating and it would give time for Twi to calm down. I opened the window behind me slowly and jumped out "Jack! Get back here, NOW!"
"Someone look after Jass and Night" I hollered back as I ran, I was running to Celestia the only one capable of stopping a certain angry unicorn. As I ran through the streets of Canterlot, the castle getting closer by the second, I heard my name being shouted, turns out Twi was a fast runner. The main door to the castle was open and a queue was snaking out, oh god what is this?
I ran past the queue of hundreds of posh ponies and saw the princess was talking to each pony individually, she saw me running at full speed "Jack what's the matter?" the pony she was talking to just before seemed annoyed he turned round to look at the one she called Jack, all argument against me seemed to disappear and he just looked nervous.
"Twilight found *gasp* that I like *pant* Pinkie" she looked at me strangely "I like like Pinkie" she seemed to understand suddenly and started to chuckle.
"Go to my sister, she is on the second floor, take that corridor and it should be the ninth door on the right. I shall delay Twilight; the guards will give you no trouble." I thanked her and ran down the corridor after the forth door the corridor inclined upwards to the second floor. Five doors later and I was stood outside her room, typical, her door was blue with a crescent moon on it.
Inside the room I could hear singing "now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down and I'd like to take a minute just sit on your but, I'll tell you how I became the princess of a town called Canterlot. West Fillydelphia born and raised, on the moon is where I spent most of my days ..." wait I don't have time to listen to this, I knocked on the door "just coming" she opened the door her mane seemed to be a mess, she must have only just gotten up makes sense I guess. The time was about six and seeing as she was mostly nocturnal it would be like morning to her "oh Jack, to what do I owe this pleasure"
I was silent for a second contemplating how it was possible to have bed hair, when you have magic hair "well Twilight isn't happy and I need somewhere to hide." she sighed.
"What did you do?" she seemed to think it was my fault that it happened.
"well she watched one of my dreams and kinda found out I like Pinkie"
"why would she get mad over you two being friends" what is it with these princesses.
"Well I kinda like her as more of a friend, if you get my meaning" she suddenly understood.
"Follow me I have the perfect hiding spot" she opened her door and looked outside; she motioned for me to follow. We ran for ages we must have gone from one end of the castle to the other and then there were the stairs, now I'm not unfit but really these stairs went on for ages "now Twilight will search the entire castle from top to bottom searching for you and she won't rest until your found, so what does that tell you?"
"I'm doomed" she face ... Hoofed? She pointed to the door which was just ahead, it had Twi's mark on it but why ... Oh my god genius "hide in her room she won't go there to rest until I'm found!" I picked up Luna and hugged her "thank you so much, I can live!" she coughed, drawing attention to the fact I was hugging a princess "oh um yes this is much appreciated Luna thank you"
"think nothing of it friend; I know Twilight can be a bit over protective at times. Now I must leave and try to help calm her down. I will send word if she is heading towards her room, so either hide or get out somehow" I nodded my head; she turned around and headed down the flight of stairs.
Twi:
"how dare he take advantage of Pinkie like that?" Celestia was sat in front of me trying to calm me down and I didn't know why, Jack was trying to take advantage of one of her subjects and she just sits there with a smile on her face.
"Twilight please calm down ..."
"Calm down? How can I? He is taking advantage of Pinkie and I won't have it!" I walked away; I would search the basement first and work my way up.
Luna:
"wow she must be bad sister, she ignored and interrupted you." my sister sat on her throne and just nodded her head, she wasn't angry but she also was not amused.
"She does not understand these emotions, maybe that is my fault. But she will come round in time; I assume you hid Jack somewhere safe." I nodded, Celestia looked directly at me, her face dropped "not the moon Luna, you remember what happened last time"
"no! Well yes I remember, but no Jack is in the last place she would look" I saw her think about it for a good few seconds before she came to the realisation.
"Ah you evil genius, now I only wish I knew where you hid my cakes" I watched in horror as Pinkie pulled out a plate of cupcakes, no her diet will be ruined. "Ah Pinkie I can always rely on you for cake relief, I hope it's alright If I just take the whole plate?" Pinkie nodded her head.
"Oh you want to save the super cupcakes for later!" oh no she doesn't, she shook her head and began to eat cupcake after cupcake, not regal at all.
Jack, six hours later:
"I'm officially bored" I had tried to read some of the books but they were all about unicorn magic and to be frank, I really didn't care. Her bedroom was sixty percent bookshelves and books.
I heard a voice in my head "hide" oh great I'm going insane "Twilight is coming, hide" it was Luna and apparently Twi was coming, but where to hide? The bathroom? No she will need to go there at some point, the wardrobe? No I can't stay stood up for twelve odd hours that leaves, ugh this will be boring. I heard a clopping of hooves echoing from the door way, I ran and slid underneath her bed. Time for the fun to begin ... Oh god I forgot the book!
I could see the bottom of everything from here, I saw the door swing open and a pair of purple hooves walk across the floor towards the table which was stacked high with books I had tried to read but couldn't get through. "Oh Spike why didn't you clean up before we left?" she continued to potter about for a while before going to the bathroom. I knew the real fun would begin when she came out.
She had finally got into bed about ten minutes later she almost instantly fell asleep, I couldn't move or make a sound now.
The next morning:
I awoke to a bright light; turns out I had rolled out from under the bed. I quickly looked around expecting Twi to be stood over me, luckily not.
Now I was hungry and as far as I know there is no food in this room, time for some sneaking. I left the room and headed down the spiral staircase. I had a rough idea of where the kitchens would be lower down in the castle, away from the posher ponies. I had reached the throne room in almost no time whatsoever, inside was Celestia and the rest of the gang. Twilight was talking to Celestia "he can't be in the castle, I am extending my search to the town, I will find him"
"I have told you, Jack meant no harm" Twilight shook her head and started to turn around, by that time I was halfway across the hall "but my number one student!" Twilight stopped turning around and looked at Celestia, thank you so much, "how can you condemn someone for the feelings they can't control" I made it to the other side and slid through the doors.
I headed downwards and my theory was correct, the smell of bread wafting through the corridors getting stronger as I got closer to the kitchen. "BOO!" I almost hit the roof, squealing like a little girl, begging for forgiveness. "It’s only me" I saw Luna looking down at me "I'm guessing you thought I was Twilight" I nodded my head and she started to laugh, once she had finished we went into the kitchen. We were treated like royalty ... Oh wait, Luna is royalty. "So where did you hide last night?" her face stuffed with bread, for a princess she wasn't one to be hung up on manners.
"Well I hid under Twilight's bed" she sniggered a bit while all the cooks were running about trying to sort out lunch "is she it of the castle now?" Luna nodded her head, "good I can safely have a shower then" once I had my share of food I decided I would go get some proper rest for an hour or two "bye Luna I'm just going to go get some rest for a while"
"don't sleep for too long, Twilight will realise at some point that the search will be fruitless and return" I nodded my head and we said our goodbyes, I wandered the area of the castle where it seemed like all the bedrooms were located. When I had finally found an empty room, I jumped into the double bed and promptly fell asleep.
Two hours later:
I woke up slowly, like normal I wasn't good at waking up. I realised quite quickly that I wasn't alone in the bed though, next to me was the pink pony known as Pinkie. She was wide awake and staring at me, her bright blue eyes locking with mine. I leaped out of the bed "you know of Twilight was to see us like this I might end up dead, don't you?"
"yes silly but Twi is out looking for you so there is no problem" she was right, of course, Twilight was out but still it was kinda unnerving waking up with somebody you didn't fall asleep with. "You know I knew you liked me" my jaw hit the floor. "yeah everypony knew, well I don't know about Fluttershy but she wouldn't of said anything anyway"
I looked around the room I couldn't see Jass or Night anywhere around here, they must be out playing or with one of the other girls, "how long will it be till Twi calms down do you think?"
"Not long, I think Celestia has almost convinced her that it's normal to feel like that, but Twi doesn't understand love yet. Anyway you sir need a shower" she poked me in the ribs and crossed her front legs, wait she has been stood up like that for a couple of minutes now, how?
"Yes because I have really had the opportunity to have a shower" she giggled and rolled on her back gravity finally taking hold of her. "ok ok, I'm going up to Twilight's room to have a shower, I'll see you when she calms down and it's safe for me to walk around" she hugged me, I won't deny the fact it was awkward, I semi hugged her back and patted her on the head. I then walked down the corridor towards the stairs which led to Twilight's room.
Pinkie:
I bounced back to the throne room, bouncing is the only way to travel, once I had reached the throne room I saw Celestia talking to Twi and it would seem that Celestia was finally getting through to Twi "you didn't understand the importance of friendship when you first heard about and you don't understand the importance love either" Twilight nodded her head, Luna who was stood behind Celestia looking smug about something.
"just tell me, how is he avoiding my scanning spells?" if he was anywhere in the castle I should of found him!" Luna stepped out from behind Celestia's throne.
"I hid him, but first you must promise not to attack him or hurt his feelings in anyway" I was hiding away in the corner of the room I didn't want to interrupt and slow progress down, Twi nodded her head, "ok then I hid him in the last place you would think to look" Twi's eyes went wide with realisation "I will teleport him two you can apologise to him" oh dear if my timing is right then This will be embarrassing.
Luna started the magic spell and suddenly a flash of light and there Jack was, yep timing was perfect, his eyes were shut and he was completely naked, he must have noticed the lack of water raining down on him because he opened his eyes, "send me back, send me back, send me back!" Luna used the same spell and suddenly Jack was gone again, Twi had turned a nice shade of red.
Celestia and Luna seemed unfazed by the ... Appearance of Jack, I personally had not seen anything because jack was facing away from me, but the other three would have got an eyeful of Jack's front. "Celestia, Luna why are you not embarrassed?"
"well my student we are three thousand years old that was nothing new" if I thought Twi was red before she was now super red. "Now we just have to wait for Jack to come to us, I don't want to traumatise him further" it looked like Celestia was giggling, as if she had planned this, hmmm.
