You've Got to be Foaly Kitty Me: From Home to Equestria
August 15, 2015 (Wind Rust)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterJosh finally won a race, an important one too because it was a race between him and five ponies that are teammates of an areal acrobatic group called the Wonderbolts!! I can't wait to see how much Josh got! Tail Flight and I get to the betting stand.
I close my eyes. "Hey, I hear Josh won."
"Of course. Wind Rust and Tail Flight, right?"
I put my right forehoof on my chest. "That's us."
"And you betted one hundred and seventy five bits on Josh?" We nod. "Well congrats to the both of you! Your return is a thousand and fifty bits!" I put my hoof back to the concrete floor, shoot my eyes wide open and drop my jaw. One thousand and fifty bits?!? Wow! Josh is going to be so exited.
Josh lands in front of us. "Hey Tail, hey Rust. All that training really came in handy. What's going on here?" Josh looks like he's sweating bullets. He's even breathing a little faster than he usually would.
"Guess what happened!" Tail Flight flies up to Josh and holds his shoulders.
"What is it?"
"I betted your money on you!"
"But I never told you to do that!"
"Once you won, I knew you'd be rich!"
"Okay, how many?"
"A thousand and fifty bits." Josh drops his jaw now.
"Holy crap! I think this calls for a celebration!"
"And you'd be right Josh." I see Spitfire trotting from the bleachers over to the three of us. "However, it's not just for your far win out in that race, but also becoming an official Wonderbolt." Josh? Becoming a Wonderbolt?!? "You've shown us your athletic ability, Josh. Not even our best Wonderbolt in that race came anywhere close to you. And we could use that ability to everypony's advantage in the Wonderbolts, even you."
We all drop our jaws now. Josh folds his wings. "I accept your invitation Spitfire! I won't let you down! Come on everyone! Let's go Celebrate!"
"And I know just the place too." I know what Spitfire's going to say.
"Jo's Bar and Doughnut?!?" Spitfire nods at Josh. Called it.
"And there's also another bonus. Tonight's comedy night over there, so try not to build a gut there just to bust it."
"I'll keep that in mind." Josh nods at Spitfire. "But I don't think mine's going to grow any time soon, considering all the training I went through this morning."
"Yeah. Even though I was pretty fast, I couldn't even come close to catching up to Josh."
"Josh, Wind Rust. Hold on. I want to hear who's going to perform their schtick."
"That would be Record Back little filly." Tail Flight's eyes shoot wide open.
Tail Flight starts to whisper what sounds like "mother".
Josh looks intrigued. "How does Tail Flight know who her mother is?" Now I'm getting curious myself. Is Josh's suspicions correct? I've got to find out.
"Why hello there Joshua. Congratulations on becoming an official Wonderbolt. I truly knew you were going to win that race with an overlap and a half in the works."
"Thanks Discord." Josh offers a high five which Discord accepts.
"Discord?"
"Yes, Wind Rust?"
"How've Tail Flight and I been able to remember both our lives here as well as our lives back when we remember being cats? Is there any memory magic going on here?"
"Heavens no Wind Rust. I wouldn't dream of messing with ponies' memory if that's where you're getting at. And quite frankly, I've shown my friendship to Twilight which was giving her the key to stopping Tirek."
I have a straight face to Discord. "So, you've told the truth before."
"Precisely. And I'm doing so today."
"Wind Rust cut him some slack. It's the master of chaos. I know him." I nod at Josh as he turns back to Discord. "So Discord, you up for Jo's Bar and Doughnut? Me, Soarin', Spitfire, Wind Rust and Tail Flight are all going."
"Why yes I'd love to go for a quick cider. In fact..." Discord snaps the finger of his lion paw twice teleporting us to Jo's Bar and Doughnut as well as Spike suddenly appearing. "We're here!"
Spitfire nods to Josh. "That guy must be very handy, huh."
"Of course. He's the master of chaos."
"That would explain how you have that outfit complete with the goggles."
"Well, I would've brought my UCD's with me, but I was kind of in a rush to get here so I didn't bring 'em."
"No problem Spike." Discord snaps the finger of his lion paw again and four UCD's appear.
"Now I could possibly call Mom and tell her I'm here in Equestria!" Josh turns his on and tries to call. Suddenly, hope arises. Not only is there a dial tone, but someone actually picked up the line. Josh starts to speak in the UCD.
"Hello!... Amazing!... Equestria... I knew you'd be. I just knew it... Look. Tell Chaileb and Nathanael that I'm in Equestria. This is a very real place... Wind Rust, Tail Flight, Spike, Discord, Spitfire and Soarin'... Since the day I 'disappeared'... Okay, let's see. I reunited with Tail Flight, Wind Rust and Wiretap, I managed to grow wings, I learned to fly, I competed in a race and won first place and I became an official Wonderbolt, all of-... I know it's incredible to do all of that in less than a week... I'll keep that in mind... Talk to you later... Bye."
Josh hangs up on the UCD and gives it to Spike, which Spike gives back. Josh looks confused. "Get a song for me to listen to while I'm on my free time. Maybe I'll even show it to Rarity if it fits well enough. Besides, it's your UCD."
"Says that I'm connected to Discord. Great. Discord has wi-fi. No one comes outside. It has to be between Spike and I for now." After Josh chuckles and fools around on it for a little bit, he and Spike walk out.
"What music do you think he's going to play?" Tail Flight looks extremely excited.
Discord thinks a bit. "To be honest, I have no idea. You think I'd know everything. But I only know what's going on by their expression. Nopony got to see them."
"But I did. He looked a bit curious. Maybe I'd better see why he pulled Spike out."
Discord, Tail Flight, Soarin' and I all wait for Spitfire to see what's going on. But as Spitfire comes back in the bar, she looks amazed. "Well, this isn't just some random curiosity. Josh says he's going to be in a hurry for arranging a song, which I heard part of. And I think I may know what song that is."
"What is it?" Soarin' shoots his eyes open.
"Josh told me not to tell you that."
"Somepony doesn't seem to trust his own friends with what he's going to be doing."
"That's because it's supposed to be a surprise, Discord." Josh and Spike come in the restaurant looking at all of us with smiles on their faces. "Now, let's get some doughnuts!"
