Rick's improbable journey

As I walked up to the clubhouse I noticed one thing the house was way too small for me Scootaloo saw this as well and told me to wait outside while she got her friends. I stood there for a while and felt like I was being watched I looked around there was a single cloud in the sky which I found odd as Star Blaze said that clouds around the pony towns were moved by Pegasi then I noticed a rainbow color on the cloud.

"Get down here." I yelled up at the cloud.

The rainbow colored hair disappeared so I levitated the cloud down to me to see the same rainbow pegasi that ran off laying on the cloud eyes shut very tightly. I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Why do you stalk me miss rainbow?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

She jumped a little to see me staring at her with my hazel into her magenta eyes.

"Well are you going to answer me or not" I asked getting more annoyed with every second she just stared at me.

She finally said "I don't know why I am doing this but I feel extremely compelled to follow you to see you and I don't know why did you do something are you the reason I feel like this It's starting to scare me" she said with tears starting to well up in her magenta eyes.

I felt legitimately bad for her and had no idea what was causing her to behave like this but I had a good idea "Alright I don't know why you feel this way but I can help you figure out why."

She brightened up at this "really how" She asked.

"It's simple first you need to sleep and if you can't I could knock you out using a technique that's only twenty percent more painful" I said with an evil grin.

She instantly lay down on the cloud and closed her eyes to sleep and was out in a matter of minutes this makes me think she sleeps in the day a lot. I got in my meditative stance and focused on her mind and saw her dream the dream was of her wearing some sort of blue jumpsuit along with a bunch of other ponies wearing the same jumpsuit I decided to interrupt her dream in order to resolve her problem I needed her I walked up to her she noticed me

"Who are you and how are you in here" she said.

"That will come through in a second the thing you need to know is that you are currently dreaming" I said with a small smile.

"Oh I already knew that I always have lucid dreams I'm just that awesome you never told me your name you already seem to know my name as Rainbow Dash." she said looking around at the dream.

"I see well my name is Rick, Miss Dash and I'm using psychic powers to enter your dream know let's enter your subconscious." I finished with a small smile.

As a rainbow colored door appeared where I was pointing it gave off a very inviting feeling, she would only look at me unsure.

I smiled and said "It's alright remember this is your mind your rules."

As we walked through the door into a giant room filled with other doors. I pointed towards a pink door.

"That is your love door it reveals who you are truly in love with." I said with a simple tone.

As I walked towards it the door, and was relieved it wasn't reacting I had been into my own subconscious before, and found that it reacts to whoever you liked. I went to open the door when Rainbow stopped me

"I already know why I feel the way I do RIck." She said looking at me with either doubt or joy.

I looked at her and instead of laughing at the notion like I had earlier I felt insanely bad for her.

"Rainbow before you ask how I feel let me show you my door" I said with saddness.

Another door appeared behind us this door was black and gave off a cold feeling and a fog surrounded the bottom of it that screamed stay away. She stood behind me looking scared as can be as I walked up to the door and opened it. It gave off a terrible screech as if it hadn't been opened in hundreds of years I walked in and she followed.

"Stay very close lest you become the targets of the guards." I said looking serious.

Where she had wooden doors in a single big open room my mind had been arranged into a large amount of corridors that created a maze with doors made of rusty iron giving off the look of an abandoned prison she looked at me and shivered this place scared the crap out of her.

"If you think the place is scary wait till you see the guards" I said knowing that very few things topped what I used as a basic design.

We walked through the corridors till we ran into a guard The guard stood at 8 foot tall wore black spiked armor that looked like no matter where you hit him your hand was going to get cut to ribbons with a hood that showed nothing of a face I stopped him and asked which way to the heart door he said nothing and pointed towards a corridor I thanked him and started to walk he saw Rainbow and went to raise a sword above his head she just stood there terrified of him.

"I say she lives." I said the guard sheathed the sword bowed to me and continued down the corridor he was walking through I looked at Rainbow she finally snapped out of her daze.

"What was that." she asked.

"One of my mind knights they stalk the corridors of my mind as a defense against those who would try to steal my thoughts. I made them the night I got my psychic powers." I said with a small yawn.

I walked down the corridor and she walked beside me a bit closer than before probably out of fear. We finally got to the heart door and found two sixteen feet tall mind knights standing on either side of the door the armor was white a sharp contrast to the rest of the area the door was chained up with twelve chains and a single huge lock connecting all the chains.

"This is why I said don't ask how I feel before showing you this to save your feeling from being hurt I will tell you why my door looks like this when I first entered my subconscious I was paranoid and never wanted to be used so I made my mind a maze to make intruders lost the knights to kill anyone walking around but the thing I never wanted is to put my loved ones in danger so I sealed off my heart and made the mega mind knights to keep it forever sealed unless I decide other wise and so far your friends and your realm haven't exactly earned my idea of safe for this maybe I will unlock this door later if I find this place is as nice as it seems." i said as serious as can be.

Rainbow just looked a bit surprised by the events that had just transpired.

"I apologize for revealing so much to you but simply saying no without reason would have been rude and I am a gentleman to ladies" I said with a smile.

Rainbow face hoofed and said "your seriousness has a time limit doesn't it"?

"Why yes yes it does" I said still smiling "and it just ran out" I said smiling even longer "let's just say it runs out randomly anyways let's get out of here" I said as another door opened allowing us leave.

I opened my eyes to look into the purple eyes of Scootaloo while she was shaking me and yelling for me to wake up. Man now I feel even worse for making her worry about me.

"Scoots calm down I'm alright." I said trying to calm her down.

She had tears streaming down her eyes. "I thought I had lost you I wouldn't be able to handle another loss of someone I call friend." she said crying.

She cried into my shoulder that's when I remembered I didn't have a shirt it was one of four things I realized then, one Scootaloo needs someone to call parent, two I need a job, and three that door needs to be unlocked now. It was easy to do the last one but the second one is that everyone here but Scoots and Rainbow avoids me the first one would be incredibly hard and dangerous if Scoots parents were dead that is, but I had a plan.

"Scoots how long ago did you lose your parents" I asked.

"I lost them three years ago to an avalanche my grandmare was watching me at the time a year later she died and I was all alone." she said tearing up.

"Scoots I have one question would you want them back." I asked.

She stared at me for a while I started to notice Rainbow awaken

"Scoots we'll finish this later ok." I said.

"O-oh um ok..." she said drying the tears from her eyes.

I'll go talk to Star Blaze he's been around for about 500 years if I heard him correctly, I will correct the wrongs done to you Scootaloo I thought to myself as seriousness took over my demeanor.

"Scoots I've got to go meet a friend in the Everfree Forest about getting something to make up for my neglectfulness I know it's ungentlemanly to leave a woman in distress but if you want the surprise soon then I have to leave now." I said.

"Ok I hope to see you soon Boldolf" she said.

As she hugged around my neck I was stunned, but I returned the hug with my own. I will make this right Scoots I promise... I thought to myself.

As I left I asked Rainbow to watch over Scoots as a favor to me and that I owed her. As I walked through the forest I managed to find Star Blaze's cave as I walked through I heard what sounded like two giants fighting I poked my head around the corner to see a green ursa major fighting Star Blaze and to my distress winning I wasn't about to let a friend die as I focused my thoughts into a blast of psychic energy. I blasted it a few times to give Star Blaze enough time to give it a quick death, before falling over himself. I walked over to my injured friend to find he was out cold, but still alive I used a new psychic power I hoped would work it showed me exactly what was wrong with him I decided that I couldn't help him alone I sent a mental message to Rainbow.

"Hello Rainbow it's Boldolf do you know anyone good at helping animals" I asked her.

"Yeah my friend Fluttershy is the best at helping animals" she stated.

"Rainbow I'm sending you a descriptive mental image on how to get here I need you to get Fluttershy and bring her here" I said.

"I got it" She said.

Wow she agreed without even the slightest bit of argument. I stayed by Star Blaze's side till Flutterhy and Rainbow got here. Fluttershy was startled to see me, but quickly settled down when she saw Star Blaze and got to work wrapping up the wounds while I used my own powers to slow the blood flow. After it was over Flutteshy apologized for running away when we first met, and asked what happened to the green one I told her I helped kill it. As soon as I said that she got really sad and then REALLY angry and stared directly at me and started trying to demoralize me for my actions the stare was making me uncomfortable to say the least.

"I took no pride in what I did but that green beast was going to kill my friend and I defended him with all my might." I said looking away refusing to make eye contact.

Star Blaze started to awaken and I thanked Fluttershy for her help as she left Rainbow left much sooner as the sight of the dead Ursa was a bit much for her. As soon as Star Blaze awoke he got into a defensive position then he saw me.

"I thought I told you to shout if you needed me". I said to him.

"Sorry I thought I could take him". He said.

"Star Blaze I know you're injured and all but I need you to answer a question" I said.

"What's that" He asked.

"Is there a God of the Dead". I asked with my eyes burning for the answers I wanted.
