Load Full StoryNext ChapterJake rolled over in his bed, lining up the beams of sunlight shining through the curtains with his eyes. This made him jump, and rub his eyes. He sat on his bed for a few second, just trying to wake up. It wasn't too long before he took note of something strange. There was an abnormally large amount of light in the room. He checked his alarm clock, 11:30 AM.
"Fuuuuuuck." he jumped up out of bed and tried to run for the bathroom. keyword: tried. He fell two feet away from the bed. "shit." he mumbled. He quickly race to his feet and ran into the bathroom. He snatched up his toothbrush and put toothpaste on it. He quickly brushed his teeth, spit, and rinsed his mouth out. He grabbed his comb and began to comb his short brown hair. He made sure to get all of the knots out of his hair, and rushed back into his room. He grabbed a pair of blue jeans and started putting them on, almost losing his balance as he tried to get them up the last two inches. He didn't bother changing out of his white undershirt, he instead threw a grey leather jacket on and raced downstairs. He quickly put on his black boots, tying the laces tight.
"Oh man, I'm so late." he said to no one in particular. He snatched up a set of keys and ran outside. He jogged up to a grey Harley 48, sitting down and lifting the kickstand. He raced to put the key in the ignition. He clicked the key to a position and pressed the start up button on the handle bars. The bike turned over a few times before it gave out a roar, signifying that she was ready to go. Jake took off like lightning, racing to get to school.
At CHS, six girls were gathered around a statue. Their was Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Sunset Shimmer. They all seemed worried.
"I can't believe they got to Principal Celestia AND Vice Principal Luna too." Fluttershy said.
"They've gotten to everybody!" Rainbow dash said.
"Not everybody!" Pinkie Pie sung.
"Pinkie Pie's right. We were there when the Dazzlings were playin', but we weren't affected. It's like we were protected some how." Applejack said. Their thoughts were cut short by the loud exhaust of a bike coming toward the school. It was Jake and his motorcycle. He rushed to a stop, and cut the bikes engine off. He removed his helmet and grabbed the keys to his bike. He started jogging toward the school entrance, but changed course when he saw the girls by the statute. He rushed up to them.
"Hey Jake-" she was cut off when Jake grabbed her by the shoulders.
"I didn't miss lunch, did I?" he asked.
"Yeah, lunch ended fifteen minutes ago." Sunset said.
"Dammit! Now when am I going to eat?!" he asked himself.
"Sorry." Sunset said.
"Ah, it's not your fault. I forgot to set my alarm. anyway, did I miss anything?" Jake asked.
"Yeah, you missed a set of singing, magical girls that turned everyone against each other." Rainbow said.
"I was asking about school work, but I guess that works too."
"If only we could get a message to Twilight. Maybe she could tell us how to break the spell the Dazzlings have cast on our friends." Rarity said.
"Well that's not gonna happen, the portal's closed." she threw her ball against the statue. it hit directly above Rarity's head, making her accidentally draw a line of red nail polish up her arm. She gasped once she saw the offending mark. "And I get the feeling they don't exactly have Cellphones where she's from."
"I have and idea so crazy, it just might work." Jake said. He walked to the face of the statue that was looking toward the school. He gave two strong knocks of the surface. "Knock knock, you better open the fuck up!" he shouted. Sunset giggled.
"Yeah, I don't think that worked." she said.
"Eh, it was worth a shot. Plus i thought it would be funny." Jake said. Sunset tapped her chin a bit, before snapping her fingers.
"I know a way we can get a message to Princess Twilight!" she said.
The sound of screeching metal rang out through the air as Sunset's locker opened. She looked around at the materials inside, eventually finding what she was looking for. She reached out and grabbed the item, bringing it into the light. It was a dusty old book with a familiar Symbol on it. She turned to face her friends. "When I was Princess Celestia's student back in Equestria, she gave me this." Sunset dusted of the old book. "Even after I abandoned my studies, I held onto it. Deep down I guess I knew I was make a big mistake and I wanted to still have a way to reach out to her." She flipped through the book, stopping on an empty page. "Maybe it still works."
"That's a book darling. What do you mean "Maybe it still works"?" Rarity asked. Jake just sat and silently listened to the conversation.
"It used to be the if I wrote something here, It would appear in the pages of a book back in Princess Celestia's library." Sunset said, clutching the book to her chest. "I get a message to her, then she can get a message to Princess Twilight!" She said. Jake smile at her enthusiasm.
"So what are you Waiting for? Get to Writing!" Rainbow Dash said, holding a pen out to Sunset.
"A bit pushy aren't we?" Jake said.
"Oh. Jake darling I'm terribly sorry. I'd almost forgotten you were here." Rarity said. Jake sighed.
"You wouldn't be the first." Jake said. Sunset took the pen from Rainbow and sighed.
"It's been a long time since I've write these words." Sunset said. The other girls leaned closer, clearly excited to see what she would write. "Dear Princess Celestia..." She mumbled. Jake's stomach growled at him and he looked down at it.
"Stop FUCKING BARKING AT ME!" Jake shouted at his abdomen. Applejack chuckled.
"Here, this should ease your sufferin'." Applejack held out an apple. Jake gasped.
"You're a goddess." He said, quickly taking the apple. He bit into the apple and almost melted with the sweet taste. "OH YES! OH GOD THAT HITS THE SPOT!" He said, earning a series of laughs from the girls.
"Aren't you bein' a little over dramatic?" Applejack chuckled.
"Hey, there is a reason they say the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Because dammit, it's true." Jake said. "we're like dogs. You feed us and we will view you as a god." He took another bite of the apple.
