Dom T Meets Pony
Chapter 2: First Night of Insanity
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIn the real world, Dom T didn't really care much for MLP these days, but being zapped into the show itself was a whole new level of madness. Is this how he's going to live the rest of his life? Is he even still alive? So many questions just flowed in and out of his head.
It was getting darker, and Dom T had no where to sleep, nor did he feel safe asking any of the ponies. The temperature dropped rapidly by the second, the sun had just gone under the horizon, with the moon rising at the other end of the sky. The temperature was so cold, Dom T had intense numbness in his legs. He trotted to the nearest house, which looked like a massive tree house from closer up. He couldn't take much more of the cold as his skin felt like it was blistering. Dom T impatiently knocked on the door of the tree house, and with a surprise it wasn't a pony who answered the door, it was a small purple dragon with green spines.
"So the new pony came to stay here did he?" He said smiling. Dom T wasn't sure what to say so he just nodded his head. "Well, if you really need to, you can stay here, make yourself at home, um, what's your name?" The dragon asked anxiously. "I'm Dom T" Dom T replied dumbly. "Dom T ay? Well, I am Spike!" said the dragon in a more cheerful tone.
Dom T heard the sound of hooves trotting towards him, and with no surprise it was Twilight Sparkle. He again tried to pretend he didn't know she was there and failed at it epically once more. "Dom T, may I help you with something?" asked Twilight curiously, Dom T was about to answer but he was suddenly interrupted by Spike, "He has no where else to stay, so I figured he can stay here with us?" Twilight looked slightly annoyed "Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to have another pony stay with us for a night." sighed Twilight in agreement. "Why what's the matter Twilight? Spike asked as he walked up to her. "It's nothing, Spike, please don't worry about it!" Twilight said uncomfortably as she walked up to her room. "Twilight, you can tell me, I'm your number one assistant! Oh, come on Twilight!" Spike said as he followed her. "Spike please leave me alone, I have study to catch up on, now please, go away!" Twilight said raising her voice. "All right, whatever you say Twilight, if you don't want to talk about it, just let it bother you." Spike happily said as he walked back into the entrance where Dom T was standing.
Dom T looked rather confused "What was her problem" he asked Spike in a quiet voice. "I wish I knew, she has her moments, she kicked me out of her room only a week ago, now I have to sleep in here and speaking of sleep I could really used a nap right now, it's been a big day!" Spike said as he yawned. "Tell me about it." replied Dom T, "Maybe tomorrow..." Spike said as he drifted off to sleep. "Hey, where am I supposed to sleep?" Dom T said, "Um, Spike?" he added, regretting talking to a cartoon again. "Go ask Twilight..." Spike mumbled.
Dom T was feeling annoyed because no one showed where he was sleeping, he was very tired, his eyes were closing, but he tried to stay awake. He couldn't just sleep on the ground, it was freezing and too uncomfortable, he then gulped as he headed up towards Twilight Sparkles room. He was very nervous but without too much time wasting, he knocked on the door, which sounded a lot louder than he expected.
Dom T waited and waited for a reply, he knocked again, louder this time. "Ugh! Spike, what is it that you don't understand about 'privacy' I need to be alone for this, I'm sorry!" Twilight said in a sharp tone. "It's Dom T here, Spike's asleep." Dom T said yawning afterwards. There was no reply, he then said, "Um, is there anywhere here I can sleep? I have no house in this strange world." Dom T waited for a response from the unicorn, but there was still no reply. "Twilight? Twilight? Twilight? Twilight?" Dom T then kept saying as he continuously knocked on her door. "Hold on, Dom T, I need to concentrate! This spell I'm practising can be very risky!" Twilight said in an annoyed voice.
Dom T was dosing off then he fell into the door and hit his head against it with a loud THUD and sprung back up in shock when he heard a scream coming from Twilights room, he then quickly swung open the door. Dom T saw something that he didn't like the look of. "Twilight? Are you ok?" He rushed over to Twilight Sparkle who looked badly hurt and very pale. "H-help me... I..." Twilight said in a very quiet whisper. Dom T couldn't help but feel worried about this cartoon pony. He then attempted to lift her back into her bed, this was a painful choice for Dom T, who was so tired that he could fall asleep any second, but he succeeded.
Dom T stared at the Unicorn for a bit, but he then punched himself in the face hard when he realised it, and to wake himself up a bit more. "Are you ok Twilight?" he asked, slowly getting used to talking to cartoons. "I need to finish..." Twilight mumbled. Dom T spotted a large wound on Twilights hoof, just before he discovered that he was standing in blood from the mare. He quickly rushed down to get Spike, he would know what to do. "I'll be back soon Twilight" Dom T said. What was happening to Twilight? What was happening to him? Dom T just couldn't get his head around anything, but now was not the time to think. He woke Spike up by spilling water on him. "Hey, what was that for?" said Spike in a grump. "Twilight is badly hurt, I don't know what to do!" Dom T said in concern. "Oh, Twilight what have you done this time." said Spike as he immediately stood up and rushed up to Twilights bedroom.
"Oh no, Twilight!?" Spike cried as he tried to get a response from her. "Spike, I-I need to..." Twilight mumbled "Need to what?" Spike asked seriously. "T-take me to the... hospital.. right n-now..." Twilight mumbled a bit louder this time, Spike looked startled as he knew that Twilight had a fear of hospitals. Dom T finally fell asleep, on the staircase, but Spike shouted loud enough to wake him up. "Dom T! Can you give me a hand!? Now, would be good!" Dom T then stood up and sighed in anger as he walked up to Spike. "Twilight needs to go to hospital, you can carry her there, I'll show you the way!" Dom T at first thought this was some kind of joke, but the expression on Spikes face couldn't look more serious. "All right then, I'll take her." sighed Dom T as Spike lifted Twilight onto his back.
As they left the tree house, the temperature suddenly dropped. Dom T's hooves started getting all numb, but he wasn't too cold as he was carrying Twilight on his back, and she felt as heavy as a bus. His tiredness only made it more difficult. Spike walked alongside with pure worry. Dom T was indeed struggling and was at the point where he would normally give up, but he wanted to push his limits. After what seemed to be two hours of fast, painful trotting, Spike said, "Well, here we are." Dom T jumped in surprise when he saw a massive building in front of him. "I knew that!" He said as he walked inside.
Just as they entered, a nurse, white pony with a pink mane and tail quickly rushed up to them. "Oh no, this is bad, she's been telling me about this dangerous spell she wanted to learn, and it's actually happening, oh no! Thank you so much for bringing her here." said Nurse Redheart who was panicking. "What's wrong with her?" asked Dom T. "No time to explain, we need to get her into care urgently!" said Nurse Redheart as she carefully lifted Twilight onto a hospital bed. "She's going to make it, right? RIGHT?!" said Spike who started crying out loud. "We will just have to see what time brings." sighed Nurse Redheart sadly. Spike started running after Twilight but Nurse Redheart stopped him. Spike just dodged her and went straight after Twilight, crying. Dom T felt terrible, he realised he'd done nothing but caused trouble. Then a voice in his head whispered "Here's your chance of preventing trouble." and he saw Spike running after Twilight who was in a hospital bed getting pushed by hospital ponies. Dom T then darted directly passed Spike and blocked him from going any further. "Spike, come with me, man. Twilight will be all right." Dom T said as he carried Spike back to the waiting room. "Will I ever see Twilight Sparkle again?" asked Spike as he cried, "The only thing we have now is hope, Spike." said Nurse Redheart who gave a weak hopeful smile and walked off slowly.
Dom T and Spike walked back to the tree house slowly. Spike calmed down as he walked back. Dom T was exhausted, and he saw the sun rising on the horizon. By time they got back home it was 6am, and Spike immediately ran to his bed and fell straight off to sleep. Dom T just sat down and looked out the window then he too fell asleep within five minutes.
Dom T was walking to the hospital with Spike to see what happened to Twilight Sparkle. They both enter the building to see Nurse Redheart walking up to them. "Twilight Sparkle is gone she left at 6:36am, I am so sorry, we tried everything." She said in a shaky voice. Spike bursted into tears and punched the floor as hard as he could, causing a slight crack. Dom T froze, mouth wide open in shock, he couldn't help but feel responsible for Twilight Sparkles death. He just turned and walked out of the hospital, forgetting Spike. He was in the gloomiest mood of all time, the weather was terrible, thunder, lightning, strong winds and rain so heavy it hurt, but this didn't bother Dom T, since he was incredibly shocked how sad he was about a silly cartoon pony, but his sorrow became the better of him. He was losing his mind, he started running through the Everfree forest just wanting everything to return to normal.
Dom T was running through the trees in the wind, the full moon was shining brightly as the sky quickly cleared. He suddenly stopped when he heard a voice call him. "Dom T!" "Who said that?" Dom T said, but he saw for himself as a dark blue Alicorn landed by him, she had a blue mane and tail scattered with tiny white stars which were swaying with the wind. "I see you've been worrying about things." Dom T didn't like where this was going, but he still thought this was the key to getting out of Equestria. "Are you, Princess Luna?" Dom T asked out of character. "As the Princess of the night, I'm here to help you." said the Alicorn sweetly. Dom T didn't understand any of this. "I killed Twilight Sparkle, and I never thought I'd say it but, I'm sorry, really sorry." Dom T never felt like this before, a mix of confusion, sorrow, anxiety, anger, guilt and even home sickness. "No, no don't apologise, you are going through a lot of stress, you don't need to feel bad about yourself, it's not your fault. Twilight Sparkle is not dead, she'll be back home in roughly two days!" said Princess Luna, Dom T suddenly felt relieved, but not for long when he remembered what Nurse Redheart said at the hospital. "Twilight Sparkle died at 6:36am." Dom T said sadly. "That's what you heard, but it doesn't mean it's true. This is only another bad dream you're having, and from what you've been doing, the last thing you would want right now is Twilight Sparkle to die, and to be responsible for her death. That's what is playing on your mind, so that's why you're having this dream, Dom T." Luna explained. "Wait, this is just a dream?" Dom T said with a slight smile growing on his face. "Well, it's a nightmare but you can say dream if that's what you call it, everything will work out for you! Good luck, Dom T." said Luna as she disappeared into the full moon.
