The wrench chronicles (bioshock)
Chapter 4
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI ran as fast as I could but nothing could outrun Twi's magic, I was stopped, turned around and brought back to Twi and Rarity.
"So ... Lovely weather we are having" meh I'm going to die might as well annoy her a bit; it wasn't even my fault that I kissed them.
"What do you have to say for yourself" Twi was giving me one weird look.
"How much do you remember from last night?" I had to know how much I needed to tell her.
"You kissed me and Rarity!" she can’t remember the fact she held me down.
"Well, to be honest you kissed me" she just looked at me, she was confused now.
"Wait what?" I noticed Rarity still hasn't said a word. I explained the fact that it was both her and Rarity that had dared me to kiss them and that I was held down. As I told them the story the truth dawned onto both of them.
"Oh Jack, darling we are so sorry, we put you in an awful position and then we blamed you for it." Rarity had finally said something; she walked over and hugged my mid-section. Twi let the magic surrounding me go, Rarity then said something, something that destroyed the part of my brain that controlled logical thinking "so who was better?" both Twi and me collapsed, we were both so shocked.
"Err, are you sure you want to know" Rarity nodded her head and Twi begrudgingly agreed. "Both of you must promise not to hurt me"
"cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye" they both said it at the same time. Ok what the hell was that?
"Err ok then ... It was ... Rarity" Twi looked depressed while Rarity had a smug look on her face one of achievement.
"Anyway why would it matter I am a human, I'm not even the same species as you" I didn't get an answer from them, as we returned to Applejacks farm I saw Applejack, I grinned Jass had forcibly attached herself to Applejacks back leg.
"Your very pretty AJ" I could hear Jass and I saw AJ, I like that name, blush.
Still blushing she replied "thank you, your mighty pretty as well young’un" it seemed Jass had instantly bonded with her, Twi and Rarity had to give her something to bond with her. "Ah your back what happened to y'all?"
"oh that, we remembered something important we had to tell Jack" Twi wasn't good at lying.
"Well I'm sure I'll get the true story later" wow, busted, even though the lie was bad it wasn't unbelievable, how did she know?
"Anyway it's getting late, I should take Jass here home and get her some dinner." it was really just an excuse to get outta there, I may be strong but AJ scares me.
"Yeah sure, Rarity you want to stay with us for a bit?" Twi was asking Rarity to stay with her and AJ, oh god what will AJ do when she finds out I kissed them? I don't wanna find out!
"Seeya guys I'm gonna head back" it was my time to leave. I picked up Jass and put her on my shoulders, she seemed to like it up there. As I walked back I saw a flying pony coming straight at me, Jass was giggling still, seems Jass has got over her nervousness now. The flying pony landed in front of me, she had cyan fur and a rainbow mane.
"Are you the monster that has been scaring the creatures out of the Everfree forest?" she was almost shouting at me, I'm not stupid ... Often.
"Err I don’t think so, my name is Jack and this is my friend Jass." I thought it to be proper to introduce myself. She looked at me flew up to Jass picked her up and flew just out of reach.
"Tell me the truth, you are the monster scaring everything in the Everfree forest sent you" ok that's it, that stupid god damn pony deserves some of the good ol fashioned cyclone trap takedown. I fired a cyclone Trap at the ground and jumped into it I flew up to the pony grabbed Jass and fell back to the ground. The pony was astounded by how quick that entire event had passed, now that Jass was no longer in contact with the flying pony I could do what I wanted to do. An electro bolt hit the pony, she fell to the ground twitching and unconscious, sigh back to Twi then. I picked the pony up and put her on the opposite shoulder from Jass.
"You alright sweetie?" Jass looked to be fine although slightly scared
As I walked up to AJ's farm I realised how bad this looked, the big scary creature was walking alone with an unconscious pony on his shoulder, I hope no-one see's me. As I got to AJ's house I called out for Twi, she would know what to do. "Jack? I'm in the farmhouse" I walked up to the front door and knocked on it. When Twi answered she instantly saw the pony on my back. "What happened to RD?" ah so RD was her name, I shall remember that one, she was rash, rude and a brute.
"She attacked Jass so I knocked her out of the sky." she gave me a terrified look.
"You did this?" she was backing away slowly.
"Twi it wasn't Uncle Jack's fault" Jass was talking from my shoulder backing me up. Yes child go on, tell her I didn't do anything wrong! "That mean pony picked me up and held me above the ground I don't like her!" Twi was a bit more relaxed at this.
"Twi you know that I will do anything to protect this one" I ruffled Jass' hair. "If anyone takes her away from me or try's to hurt her, then nothing will stop me, and this RD pony took her away." Twi had a look on her face, it was as if she was ... Scared.
"Err ok Jack I'm going to wake her up now, don't do anything rash" she gave me a glare, wait where is everyone else? I saw RD start to wake up; she wobbled to her feet and started to sway.
"Get him away from me!" she stumbled back and toppled over, she hasn't got over the electric therapy yet. "He attacked me for no reason" ok that ... Shocked me how was there no reason?
"RD you took his child away from him and suspended her in the air! Of course he had a reason" RD looked from Twi to directly at me and Jass.
"Sorry" she had mumbled it, I could tell she didn't really mean it but it was the best I was gonna get.
"And I'm sorry for knocking you out" I had to apologise It was both of our faults, it didn’t mean we were friends, "anyway Twi I have got to get back home with this little one" I was getting into the habit of calling her the little one; Tenenbaum was the person who called them the little ones. On the way home I realised something I hadn’t seen a single male since I got here, where were they? I managed to get back without further trouble; I walked into the front room of the library and put Jass down. I then began to get her some dinner, thinking about dinner better get some for myself. Once it was made I brought two plates of it over to Jass, I put her plate down and she immediately started to eat it, huh first child to ever like salad. Jass finished first, it must be really late because she fell asleep, once I had finished I picked her up and took her to my bedroom, only one bed. I put Jass in the one bed and kissed her on the forehead, she meant the world to me and if anyone ever harms her I will end them.
I went downstairs and picked the two plates up, as I washed them up I hear Twi come in. "why did you hurt Rainbow Dash?"
"you know exactly why, she threatened Jass and no-one will take her away from me."
"why are you so protective, I know she is like a daughter to you but why are you protective to this level" ok then I will tell her why.
"She is all I have ever had, I thought I had parents but they are both dead" I had killed one of them but I'm not telling her that. "and no-one has ever cared for me I have been used and then thrown away, she is the only one to ever love me, and nobody will take that away from me." this sudden outburst had effected Twi in the way that I had least expected, a tear rolled down her eye.
"Oh Jack I'm so sorry, I didn't know she meant that much to you, and I have been just nasty to you all day" what had brought this on? Why is she crying suddenly? I did the one thing I could. I picked up Twi and hugged her, I held her for at least five minutes she was sobbing until she had no more tears to sob.
"What was that about Twi?" I looked directly at her she was a state her fur was damp and she was red in the face.
""I'm sorry I have been really nasty to you today, and you have been doing nothing wrong." oh right, wow that's enough to send a pony into a crying mess?
"Oh Twi, you have been nice to me, you have made me feel at home" She looked directly at me and smiled.
"It’s just that I feel as if I have been so nasty to you."
"Come on, I don't think you could be truly nasty to me, even if you tried" she finally got up and ascended the stairs.
"goodnight Jack"
"G’night Twi" sigh, I have only been here a day and I have kissed two of the locals, attacked one, sent one into mental breakdown and fought a two headed snake thing! Awesome. I lay down on the sofa and started to go to sleep, I think I'm going to enjoy it here.
"Eugh" what is on my chest? I woke up, eye to eye with a green and purple creature. "Ahh" we had shouted in unison "Twi what is this thing" our eyes narrowed we had said the same thing in unison again. Twi came downstairs to see the standoff between us.
"Spike this is Jack and he is staying with us for a while. Ok?" Twi was giving him a look that I thought only a mother could give.
"yes Twi" he turned to face me "sorry for scaring you"
"same, so you live here to?" he nodded his head, at that point Jass ran down the stairs and jumped at me, she landed on my chest and she wasn't exactly light.
"Uncle Jack!" she hugged my chest and giggled, I saw spike look over and grin.
"Spike can you get us some food" although it was a question Twi said it as though it was a command. Spike nodded his head and ran into the kitchen.
Spike then brought out some apples, one for each of us. It wasn't much of a breakfast but I guess I had better get used to it. "Twi how is RD? I didn't hurt her too badly did I?"
"Oh she is fine; the only thing that was damaged was her pride. Sorry for last night I don't know what came over me." she looked embarrassed.
"It’s all right Twi; we all had a bit of a stressful day. So Jass who do you want to visit today? That is unless Twi has some other plans?" I looked at her quizzically, she shook her head.
"I wanna visit the pink one, she is funny." well she is honest.
"Ok then where does Pinkie live?" I had asked Twi directly, I kinda felt bad for ignoring Spike.
"She lives over at Sugarcube Corner, I'm sure Spike can take you on his way to Rarity's, can't you Spike?" Twi looked over at Spike, I noticed he was looking all wide eyed at the mention of Rarity, sigh, a crush it was obvious.
"Yeah sure come on Jack" I said my goodbyes to Twi and followed Spike outside, it was overcast, I wonder if it will rain today? I followed spike through the streets, they were mostly dirt roads but as we reached what I assumed was the 'Sugarcube corner' it turned to flagstone. "Well this is the Sugarcube corner, now I have to get to Rarity"
"ok thanks spike" Jass ran over and hugged Spike, it was amusing that they were the same size. "Come on Jass we gonna go meet Pinkie?"
"Hehe her name is Pinkie and she is pink!" I guess that is a yes.
"K lets go inside" as we walked inside I saw that it was a cafe/restaurant kind of thing, I had also noticed that everything went silent ... Awkward.
Jass hadn't noticed the awkward silence, or just didn't care, she ran ahead and looked up at the pony behind the counter "I want to talk to the pink pony" the guy behind the counter looked shocked and slightly nervous.
"Sorry about her is pinkie around I'm one of Twilight's friends" the guy behind the counter seemed to calm down at this.
"Yeah it's her day off but I believe she is still upstairs" meh this guy seemed nice but he needed to assert himself more.
"Thank you ..."
"Mr Cake" really Mr Cake and he works in a patisserie? I'm starting to understand how the names in this world work, but a few are exceptions to the rule.
"Nice to meet you Mr Cake my name is Jack" it was at that point Pinkie walked in through a door behind the counter.
"Oh hi my name is Pinkie Pie what's yours? No wait I heard someone say it what is it? Is it: Mac, Jef no it's a mixture of the two umm Mef?" She spoke way too quickly.
"It’s Jack and this one is Jass" I held Jass up as I said this, I didn’t think Pinkie could see her over the counter. "She wanted to meet you" her blue eyes were really big.
"Wow that's awesome, so what do you wanna do? Maybe ... Dancing or we can go swimming or maybe we can go to the Everfree and explore. Well we don’t have a swimming costumes so that's not happening, we could go dancing and we can’t go into the forest. So that leaves swimming.
"Let’s go dancing" Pinkie jumped up and bounced ahead, she literally bounced ahead. We neared what I assumed to be the local club; I could hear a beat coming out of the building. Pinkie bounced past the queue of ponies, the security at the front let Pinkie in but stopped me.
"We don't allow your kind I here" he was making this up my kind wasn't known to him.
"Yeah of course try and stop me" he stood in my way I just put my hand round his face squeezed it and pushed it away and strolled in. It was absolutely crazy in there, loud beats and pulsing lights. This was more than we had at home.
"Err Pinkie what is this?" she just smiled widely at me.
"It’s a club silly they play music here. That's the DJ she is in charge of all the music." she was pointing towards a White pony with purple glasses. "Wanna jump on?" she was obviously talking to Jass; Jass nodded her head and clambered onto Pinkies back. As they roamed into the crowd and I followed I saw the guard I had pushed out of the way glaring at me. Pinkie, Jass and me where dancing for a good hour before we decided to go get a drink, Pinkie had some kind of pink cocktail Jass had some juice and I had the strongest thing they had it was a golden liquid, but it was still pretty tame compared to wine.
"Think you’re a hard man for picking the strongest stuff?" oh for god’s sake. "you wanna have a drinking contest" I turned round and saw a brown pony he didn't have a horn or wings so he was an earth pony, only reason I know this is because I had taken a picture of one earlier from my bedroom window. I shook my head it was a fun day out and I'm not gonna ruin it.
"Ahh your chicken I see"
"ok then I'll do it" Pinkie appeared with two shot glasses, I turned around to see she had set up a two man table. "Wow, how did you do that?" she shrugged her shoulders.
"You wanna make things interesting? How about a bet? Maybe 100 bits?" I looked at Pinkie, I didn't have 100 bits, bits of what I have no idea.
"Deal" Pinkie had suddenly put down a small bag of coins; the other guy did the same. We had gone on for about ten minutes each taking turns when I started to get bored.
"Ok let's do this properly" I grabbed my bottle and downed the whole thing, hehe not even slightly tipsy. My challenger did the same thing and promptly passed out. "Hehe not even close to being drunk" I stood up and gave the two bags of coins to Pinkie.
"No silly you won one of them" she handed me one bag, wow I actually have money now. I now have to buy Pinkie, Twi and Rarity a present. It was at that point security had appeared, oh come on! They picked up Pinkie and carried her out, she was giggling all the way. They went to pick Jass up; I leant over and snatched her away from them. I then walked out, at my own pace of course.
"Sorry about that Pinkie it seems people around here don't like me yet."
"Don’t be silly, that was super-duper fun." wow her enthusiasm was ... Refreshing. Wow how long did we spend in there? Ok we went in there at about mid-day and it's now almost night time jeez "Jack you are a super mega awesome best friend forever!" she hugged me and hugged Jass, as we walked back to Sugarcube Corner. I noticed Pinkie was not moving or even touching the ground she was just floating there in deep though, oh come on the other times she broke the laws of physics were subtle this is just too far.
After she was done destroying the ideas behind gravity I saw her home, she looked like she had a really nice day, wait she always looks ecstatic. I was taking Jass home when I rubbed my face, Jesus I really need to go see a barber tomorrow.
I put Jass to sleep and went back downstairs. I looked in on Twi and Spike, they were both asleep. I passed that stupid owl shaped wooden carving, wonder why Twi only puts this thing out at night. I poked the carving only to find out it was real; I rolled down the stairs backwards and landed at the bottom. Ok it was freaky but I'm not going to get all paranoid about this thing watching me sleep, so I went to sleep and I was paranoid about that damn bird watching me.
now the only person he has to meet is Fluttershy and nothing bad will happen with her will it?
sorry about the lateness of this chapter i havent been feeling good lately :P
