Dom T Meets Pony
Chapter 4: Call Me Dom
Previous ChapterIt has been 2 days since Twilight Sparkle nearly died, Dom T stayed with Spike and Twilight in the tree house library. It was just another day, not much to do so he went for a walk, "Laters, I'll be back later!" Dom T said. Twilight happily waved at him as she said "Goodbye, Dom T!". "You can just call me Dom for now!" Dom T said as he left. "Ok, Dom it is!" Twilight said, waving goodbye.
He was walking around, hoping not to bump into Pinkie Pie again, because he just knew she would never leave him alone. A loud clap of thunder suddenly made Dom T jump in fright, he looked up and saw Rainbow Dash on a dark grey cloud laughing. Dom T looked at Rainbow Dash angrily, Rainbow just smiled nervously. Dom T now understanding that it was just a joke, played along. "Good one, Rainbow." Dom T said. "Good? Don't you mean awesome!?" Rainbow Dash said flying down to Dom T, "Yeah I guess so." Dom T said, a bit confused. "What brings you here anyway Dom T, I haven't seen you around much!" Rainbow Dash said. Dom T thought other ponies calling him Dom T sounded strange after a while, "You can call me Dom." Dom T said to Rainbow Dash. "Well, Dom!" Rainbow Dash chuckled at the sound of the name "Woah! Nice cutie mark, what is your special talent? It looks interesting." Dom T looked confused. "Sorry? cutie what now?" Dom T asked, "Your cutie mark!" Rainbow dash said pointing at a cloud with a red, yellow and blue lightning bolt on her flank. "Isn't it awesome?" Rainbow Dash whispered still pointing at her cutie mark. "Uh yeah, mine is just a picture of me." Dom T explained.
Dom T saw Pinkie Pie in the distance bouncing his way, "Oh rats, I gotta go, um, somewhere, talk to you later, Rainbow!" he said as he ran off leaving Rainbow Dash confused, then figuring out why, when Pinkie Pie jumped by. "Hello Rainbow Dash! Have you seen Dom T anywhere? I'm looking for him!" Pinkie chirped. "Yeah I did, he went off, that way." Rainbow Dash said pointing in the same direction Dom T went. "Thank you Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie said as she bounced off.
"Pinkie wait up! I need to..." Rainbow Dash said as she dashed after Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie Pie! Wait!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "What is it Rainbow Dash?" Pinkie Pie said happily. "Why do you need to see Dom, I think he's trying to get away from you, Pinkie Pie." Rainbow said, Pinkie Pies face went all cold and sad "Does he, hate me?" Pinkie said as her eyes watered. "Relax Pinkie Pie, he said he needed to go somewhere". Pinkie Pie lightened up a little, "Where did he go?" she asked. "He didn't say where he was going, Pinkie." said Rainbow Dash. "Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie Pie said as she happily bounced off.
Dom T had been running for a while, and he had no clue where he was. There were apple trees surrounding him and he saw a red barn in the distance. As he walked towards the red barn he picked an apple from a nearby tree, "I wonder if these taste like real apples." he thought as he took a bite. Dom T was surprised, these apples tasted the same, if not better than real apples, just as he finished he threw the core as far as he could. Dom T got a small fright when he heard a familiar voice. "Howdy Dom T, welcome to Sweet Apple Acres! The finest place in Equestria!" Apple Jack was standing right by him, carrying 2 baskets of apples on her back. Before Dom T could say any thing, Apple Jack said "Ya look all worn out, did ya run all the way over here, sugar cube?" Dom T said "Just Pinkie Pie, she never leaves me alone." Apple Jack looked very surprised as she and Dom T started walking towards the barn. "Did you just... get away from Pinkie Pie?" Apple Jack asked in such shock. "Yeah I did, twice!" Dom T said faking a smile. "How in Equestria did you... Ah mean... Rainbow Dash couldn't even escape that pony! Ah do remember when ya ran away from Pinkie and I, some days ago, and she did go after you, so... I thought, she would've found ya." Apple Jack kept stumbling on her words. "Ah just can't believe you were able to get away from Pinkie Pie, Dom T!" Apple Jack said quietly. "Just call me Dom, and is it really that hard, to hide from Pinkie Pie?" Dom T asked as they entered the farm. "Well, ah must say, runnin' away from Pinkie Pie, is kinda like, say, runnin' away from ya own shadow on sunny day, ya just can't do it, no matter how hard ya try!" Apple Jack explained. "If you went in a shady place, you can't see your shadow." Dom T said. "Make it that there ain't no shade apart from ya own shadow, it ain't as easy as ya may think." Apple Jack said.
Just as they walked up to the barn, Rainbow Dash flew down to them, "So what have you guys been doing?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Howdy Rainbow, ahm just talkin' with mah new friend, Dom, who claims he is able to ditch Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash opened her mouth wide and her right eye twitched. "You mean, she isn't here?" Rainbow Dash said. "Nope, ah don't see Pinkie around here at all!" Apple Jack said. Both of the mares turned to Dom T, who didn't like the feeling of two pairs of large eyes staring at him. "Yes?" Dom T said awkwardly. "How do you do it?" Rainbow Dash quietly said. "Just run in the opposite direction, fast!" Dom T said. "Fast!? How about I challenge you to a race then?" Rainbow said. "Are you kidding me? You are Rainbow Dash though!" said Dom T. "Oh I can go easy on you, but I'll get bored doing that, I wanna see how fast you are Dom!" Rainbow said looking ready to race. "Um, Rainbow, Dom is an Earth Pony, he's got no wings!" Apple Jack said. "I'll fly, Dom can run, sounds fair to me!" Rainbow Dash shouted excitedly. "Where are we racing to?" Dom T asked. "I don't know, Sugar Cube Corner sounds good!" Rainbow Dash said ready.
Dom T and Rainbow Dash were both on the start line, "Well, AJ what are you waiting for? Start the race!" Rainbow Dash shouted. Apple Jack laughed as she was sidetracked, "Hey, Apple Jack! Whatchya doin'?" Apple Bloom said happily trotting to Apple Jack. "Hey there Apple Bloom! Ahm just racing these two ponies! Ready?" Apple Jack said as she shot a gun into the air. Dom T and Rainbow Dash were off. "Hey, ah know that pony! He has a funny lookin' cutie mark, and he saved Twilight Sparkle!" Apple Bloom said. "And he might be the first pony to beat Rainbow Dash in a race!" Apple Jack continued. "Are ya makin' that pony race Rainbow Dash?" Apple Bloom asked. "Well, he is the only pony that ah know of that can hide from Pinkie Pie, which ah thought was straight impossible." Apple Bloom looked amazed, "Do ya mean Pinkie Pie as in, Sugar Cube Corner Pinkie Pie?" Apple Bloom asked with interest. "Yep, ah don't quite understand how he does it either." Apple Jack said trying to figure it all out.
Dom T was galloping faster than he ever did, pushing himself to his limit, he was able to keep up with Rainbow Dash fairly easily. Rainbow Dash looked down and saw that Dom T was passing her, she boosted passed him, but struggled to stay in first place, "How are you doing that!!!" she shouted. Dom T was too focused on winning to answer Rainbows question, "OH COME ON!!! THIS IS NEARLY SONIC RAINBOOM SPEED, DUDE!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted at the top of her lungs, causing her to slow down a little. Dom T was only half a metre behind Rainbow Dash, keeping his pace. Rainbow Dash, could see Sugar Cube Corner in the distance, "First place here I come!!!" Rainbow Dash said confidently. Dom T was losing his breath but he didn't let that slow him down one bit, once he saw the finish line he was boosting his speed. Rainbow Dash saw Dom T passing her, so she used up her last burst of energy and went flat out. Sugar Cube Corner was getting nearer by the second, Dom T saw Rainbow Dash struggling past him, and he was just about to pass the finish line when an incredibly loud BOOM! knocked him off his hooves. Dom T tumbled over rolling on the ground, he was now in extreme pain as he hit his head on the ground hard. He was lying flat on his back, out of breath, ears ringing loudly and injured, he opened his eyes and saw a massive Rainbow circle expanding across the sky. He thought he was seeing things, because he hit his head so hard, but it was Rainbow Dash who did the sonic rainboom while they were racing. He then saw a couple of ponies looking over him, talking to him, but the ringing of his ears was too loud to hear what they were saying. Then he saw one that looked like Rainbow Dash that was trying to get a word out of him, but his eye sight was all blurry and he suddenly felt dizzy. The pony who looked to be Rainbow Dash put her hoof on his head gently, then Dom T felt his dizziness get worse until a few seconds later, he closed his eyes and blacked out.
