Previous ChapterNext ChapterNight
That's one of the best happening each day. where there can be little to no sound to be heard. Peace and tranquility surrounds me.
It's past 7 in the evening now. Right now I'm in an alleyway behind Sugarcube corner. I can't really find a comfy place to sleep. It would hurt my pride to sleep into someones home and I have proper clothing on to sleep outside.
Why not a cloud. can't fly yet. even if I did, My bag would just fall of the cloud.
And Why Sugarcube corner? They have food, nuff said. Even some food they leave in the trash. Don't judge me, It's survival. And grass doesn't really taste that bad either.
And a shocking as it sounds. There is no party! maybe she does not know where I live yet? who knows/
Right now, I'm checking out how my stuff has been doing in my bag.
"Okay, Let's see how my laptop has been doing." I said in a hushed tone. Ponies might be sleeping tonight, so I'll try my best not to disturb them. Turning it on, the windows opening sound effect can be heard, loudly. Panicking, I quickly plugged in my headphones to transfer the sound through them.
"That, was so close! Thank the world no one noticed" I said relieved
I am greeted by the windows 8 menu screen. Putting my hoof on the mouse pad. I tried to click on the desktop. And surprisingly, the mouse pad can register a hoof, somehow.
"Okay, lets see what happened here" I said, then clicked on the desktop to see what has changed.
Nothing out of the ordinary, other than my software, my music, wifi, My por, Wait, What! I said in shock
There appears to be wifi here, and a fast one at that. 4 bars. Must be close.
Rubbing my mouse pad, I hovered the mouse on the wifi to check the name.
Pinkies open wifi It read.
"huh? Why does pinki - you know what? I'll not question it. It's probably stupid anyways. Her and her 4th wall antics, whatever." I said, not caring that I may have broken a law about joining Wifi connection's without consent.
This is rather convenient, well, no use of asking about it now. I'll just take advantage for now. I thought
So, now what. I could open up Fimfiction and read some fanfics. But not now, It'll be me just digging through some all of them to get a good read, And it'll take and hour to do so. Open youtube? No, I don't want to watch something funny and laugh out loud like an Idiot.
Or maybe write about a commentary? Consciousness ask
"Huh? about what?" I asked
about your thoughts and opinion about this place so far? more of like a review than commentary
"And why would I do that?" I countered
"What else are you going to do?" He challenged back
...
...
...
...
"Not anything per se, but -"
But what? He interrupted.
...
...
...
"Okay fine, I'll do it. Just don't expect it to be good" I said to myself. Huh? I must be insane.
"Okay, let's do this" Clicking on wordpad, I started to write the analysis.
sldgjdflbd/lkfjblkdjf df;kjfg sl;kjbsfi;vdid i is what came out. Because hooves, nuff said.
I sighed. this is going to be a looooong night.
~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm still curious on who that pony is" Spike said.
Twilight recent experience of that anonymous pony is rather normal for twilight. But for some reason, Spike is scared why the pony is being himself.
"Spike, I also don't who he is but I'm sure he's nice?" Twilight said. Recalling how he talked and how he composed himself.
"But twi! He's being suspicious. With the face hiding and the name hiding. I think he may be a spy!" Said Spike, looking around frantically.
"Spike, don't be ridiculous, You weren't even scared up until he left, you were talking to him like he was a normal, everyday pony." Twilight said nonchalantly.
"But twili -"
Before he can finish, a certain blue pegasus came crashing into her door bursting it open. Jumping Suddenly and hid himself under the table.
"Twilight! Twilight! did you see that pony?" Rainbow asked
"What pony dash?" Twilight asked
"You know? About nay high" She said, while lifting her hood a little ways above her chest. "Blue clothing thing around his body, blue on the top and blackish on the bottom and some kind of saddlebag?" Rainbow asked in a hurry
"I heard him from Pinks, he described him as a shy pony who is hiding his face! Curious, I checked it out to see if it's true and I did. I saw him walking around town square just looking at some stuff." She continued
"Actually yeah, I did see him. he was hear this afternoon borrowing some books" Twilight answered, confused why she was acting this way.
"Wait what! That creep went here? What was he doing here? Are you hurt? Did he steal some stuff from you! Ohhhh, when I find him, I'm going to make him PAY!" Rainbow said, hitting her hooves together. Signifying hostility.
"Rainbow Dash, calm down. I'm not hurt nor he did to me. He was just hear borrowing some books. If you met him in pony, You would have actually liked him." Twilight explained, trying to calm her down.
"But still, that does not make him normal. Why is he hiding his Identity so badly? Why can't he just tell us his name, or at least show his face? Rainbow asked, angry at that mysterious pony.
"I'm sure that he has his reason's Rainbow but, what's so bad about being inconspicuous? If anything, he could be just shy or something?"
Twilight reasoned
"I don't care, I will find out who that pony is one way or another. Stay frosty okay?" She said, before flying off into the distance.
Normally, dash would go far to suspect a new pony but I never thought she would go this far.
"Is he gone yet?" Spike said, petrified.
~~~~~~~~~~
There we go, done with the draft.
I spent 2 hours working on the draft of the script. most of these are compliments and some criticism here and there but this will have to do. Right now I'm in some kind of alleyway away from sugarcube corner to start walking, somewhere. I may get lost but whatever, I'll memorize my way here.
Now I'll just find out how to show the video to ponies without finding out who I am.
"How am I going to do that, Not unless that I have a projector somewhere, I may pull this off - hngh!" Splat!
Something bumped into my right hoof, my Injured hoof. hard enough too cause a bruise.
"AGH! PFFFFFF!" I grunted, feeling the searing pain of a wound opening again on my hoof.
Limping, I looked at the perpetrator, and it's.
"A Projector?" I said in bewilderment.
Then I heard a flap of a wing on top of me somewhere.
Without question, I took the projector, put it in the bag, and ran in a dark corner of the alley.
Waiting.
...
...
"huh? could have sworn I heard something here" Someone said
Wait, is that?
~~~~~~~~~~
Stupid Twilight, of all the ponies that can be tricked by that pony, it has to be twilight.
Rainbow has been flying, slowly this time to not disturb anyponies. Much to her dismay.
"uhh! Why can't she understand that I'm just trying to protect her, protect everpo -"
"AGH! PFFFFFFF" She heard in some alleyway in ponyville.
"Huh? What was that?" She said, before zooming off to where that noise came from.
Landing, she said this aloud "Huh? could have sworn I heard something here." then proceeded to go find the cause.
~~~~~~~~~~
"-it, crap, crap, crap, unghh! damn it!" I said, quietly. Beating myself over why I didn't pay attention more.
Why does it have to be her! It could be anyone but nooo, the universe hates me that much huh!
Still in that dark corner of the alleyway, I stayed there, hoping to goodness that she did not see me.
And waited
...
...
...
"I know that you're there, just show up and come here." She shouted, trying to call my attention
Should I really though?
"Are you okay? I heard you shout in pain and I showed up here to come and help." She shouted again, concerned about my well being. Not even caring about the ponies sleeping.
Is this a trap? To lure me out and get me when my guard's down?
"Why are you even here, this late at night?" She also asked out of concern.
Hearing her concern, It seemed authentic, Sighing, I thought Let's do this
Before I could make an appearance, I put on my hoodie again. Silently put my bag in the corner. Then slowly walked out.
"Uhh, hi there" I said in the most innocent voice I can make.
"There you are, what are you do -" She cut herself off, realizing what or rather who, she is seeing.
Then I did the only thing I could think off when I saw her glare at me with killing Intent
~~~~~~~~~~
And there he is
The "Mysterious Pony" who everypony is talking about.
In front of me, Looking down, I found his hood wrapped around with gauze to cover a wound.
And he has a wound on his right hoof. Giving him at a disadvantage.
But before I could do anything. He ran like a bat out of hell. Grabbing his saddlebag think and went off deeper to the alleyway. Shocked that he still ran with a hoof injury. But still.
I smiled and gave chase. You can't outfly me, Boy
~~~~~~~~~~
Running as fast as my pony legs can go, But not applying much pressure on my wound. I went deeper into the alleyway and took advantage about the close quarters and her limited space of flying in here.
I should lose her, but she's too fast even for me
And I heard the flaps of her wings behind me
"I'm coming for you, and you better explain everything about yourself." She shouted while chasing me.
There where two more alleyways. Left and Right. So I decided to go to JUKE MODE
I go left, which was a convenient place for bags of flour. Quickly turning around, I ducked and waited for her to fly above me.
She over me, her hoof barely taking my hoodie off, but the wind taking my hoodie of my head leaving me vulnerable. And I heard her crash into the bags of flour. Then running with a smile on my face that I successfully escaped her.
You just got Juke the hell out, ha HA!
~~~~~~~~~~
"That slippery Soap" She said enraged, and the chase went on again.
He outsmarted me, that wounded my pride and that would embarrass me if anypony saw that.
I'll make him pay. Then flew higher to find him on higher ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can't do this forever!" As I still am running from her. I'm in open space now. Clearly in an disadvantage.
And the pain's getting worse and worse by the minute I thought, as my wounded hoof is getting more painful as time passed by.
I have to hide somewhere, Now!
I turned into another alleyway, desperately finding a place to hide.
And the only place is a barrel with an apple sign in it. it's big enough for one pony so it'll suffice.
Now or Never!
Then I jumped in that barrel, closed the lid and waited for her to give up and pass. This barrel was half filled with apples raising my suspicion about a certain apple farmer, but better safe the sorry.
So I waited.
..
..
..
It's been 5 minutes and I still haven't heard her yet. Giving a few more minutes to, at least hear a wing flap. But nothing came.
Huh?
But while waiting, all that running got me tired and my eyes got heavier and heavier.
Then I fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~
"*pant* pant*. Dang it! Lost him" Rainbow said, Panting.
It's been 10 minutes since her initial search. And she hasn't found him yet. She searched every alleyway, the streets, and she can't find mane nor tail about that pesky colt.
Feeling irritated, She turned to the direction to her house.
"Ahhh, screw this, I'm going home. I'll catch him tomorrow!" She went home after that tiring chase. It is late after all.
It's in my mane too, this is going to suck! She thought about the flour on her mane.
~~~~~~~~~~
( I don't know how to write the southern accent, so yeah )
*COCK - KA DOODLE DO!!!*
The sun began to rise in sweet apple acres. As our favorite apple farmer woke up before it did. Smiling brightly and inhaled heavily.
"Rise an' shine folks!" She shouted at the top of her lungs to wake up everyone in the house. She then went up the stairs to wake up her little sister.
"up an' attem Applebloom, don't want ya to be late for school" She said, trying to wake up her little sister.
"five mor' minutes Sis', It's too early!" She whined, covering herself more in her blankets.
"Ah come on Applebloom, don't let me get Big Mac to wake ya up." She playfully threatened, pulling her blankets off her.
"Okay, okay I'm up." She finally conceded, rising up and went downstairs. Then sat down to eat breakfast.
"Okay Applebloom, you go right on ahead to school. Me and your brother have to check if we got all of the barrels of apples in the barn." She said, informing her sister.
"Okay sis!" She said, understanding. Getting off her chair, getting her saddlebags, walked out the door before saying "I'm off now!"
"Be careful out there Applebloom" She replied.
Then she walked off to school.
~~~~~~~~~~
So Big mac? The barrels all here?" Asked Applejack
"Ehh - Nope" He said, giving her the barrel check list. Missing one check.
"Missing one barrel?" She asked for confirmation
"Ehh- Yup" He confirmed, bowing his head down expecting disappointment from his sister.
"Okay, It's not your fault Big mac. You handled all that yourself. I'll get this one for ya, okay?" She said, reassuring him that this is not his fault at all. It is early evening after all.
After that, she turned around to go to Ponyville to fine the last missing barrel.
~~~~~~~~~~
"There ya are!" She said, spotting the barrel.
It was found behind an alleyway where the drop would be located. Like nothing was touched, she went near the barrel for fetching.
Closing the wagon in, Applejack Tilted the barrel to land in the wagon.
*Grunt*
"Huh?" She heard somepony? "must be my imagination" She said to herself. Then proceeded to pull the barrel to the barn.
~~~~~~~~~
"Ahh, That hurts" I said quietly, pained after being hit in the head.
Talk about a rude wake up call I thought, about to give that pony a piece of my mind. When suddenly, I realized.
Is that, movement I hear?
Slowly opening the lid of the barrel. I checked my surroundings. Then there she is. I ducked down as fast as I can before she can notice me.
Is that? AppleJack! Crap, now what do l I do? I thought, panicking. Already thinking how much it would hurt to be bucked all the way to Manehattan. The only thing here, is to gun it.
Trying to formulate a plan, I decided to do the unthinkable. Not even putting my injury into consideration.
Let's do this I thought, preparing to do the deed.
"3, 2 ,1" The second the number one was stated. I Jumped off the barrel. Then dived behind it before she even noticed.
Not for long though, She heard the entire thing behind her, "What the hay!" She said in shock, She turned around, she found out that the lid was gone and the barrel was open.
"Huh?" She questioned. She unmounted herself for the pully ropes.
The second I heard the pully ropes drop. I started to bolt.
Taking advantage from the confusion. I used the barrel to propel myself in to the air. landing in my hooves, all fours.
OW! I said as I started to stagger a little bit.
Taking all of my willpower, I didn't mind it. I continued running away from the place. Apparently, I'm in sweet apple acres. Using the trees to my advantage. I know she'll give chase with a lasso.
"Come back here ya Varmit!" She shouted, with a lasso in her mouth and already up in the air and swirling like a tornado. Ready to be thrown.
Uh, Oh!
I quickly grabbed my pocket knife in my wallet, that's in my bag before she threw her lasso at me.
Then Rope got wrapped itself into my waist and tried to pull me to the ground.I resisted, which again, hurts my injure. Then used my pocket knife in my mouth, I Cut it off from me and I Galloped to my best of my ability.
"What? The varmit got away, and cut my favorite rope!" She shouted in rage, and giving chase.
Deja vu? yes I thought while I'm trying to lose her using the trees to my advantage. Bobbing and weaving, left and right. But it proved useless. She keeps on finding me. Realizing she practically owns the damn place, she knows -
"Don't even think on losing me ya Varmit, I know this farm like the back of my hoof" She shouted with a confident grin plastered on her face. Closing in on me.
No need to remind me! Think, think! I can't keep this up for long! She has a better body structure than me, not to mention, she's healthy. How the hell am I going to outrun her?
How ironic, from a commentator to an athlete. Comparing myself to a farmer is stupid because all I do is sit and talk to a microphone.
I see the barn in the distance!
Ideaaaa I said like how Rarity says it. Turning into my JUKE MODE
I picked up the pace. not even caring about the pain erupting on my injured hoof. She was shocked about the sudden boost of speed but I didn't care. I ran a few meters away from her, then came to the barn. The door was already open, which made it convenient.
Closed it. Locked it with a plank and thought as fast as I can on what to do.
that should buy me some time. Now what am I going to do?
Seeing multiple barrels stacked up left and right and a window on the high end on the wall on the back.
"Hope my Parkour skills and replaying of the mirror's edge series helps on here." I said, as I ran to the stack of barrels and jumped on next barrel to the next.
I wish these accursed wings would work. But I do have clothes, never mind I thought, while almost slipping into the barrel. Jumping onto the last barrel, I propelled myself to the window.
Which I desperately grasped to dear life from, and the wound is Erupting even more.
"AGH!" I Grunted, hanging on for dear life.
Hearing a loud bang on the front door says that I don't have much time. I Lifted myself up as fast as I could and looked down from the window frame. seeing a pig feed and a mud puddle for the pigs
Hearing another bang and the plank almost breaking in half. I decided to jump, hoping, praying that the mud will cushion the fall.
Hearing the door being rammed open, I landed in the mud. The second I recovered. I wiped my face or at least my eyes then ran like sonic.
But before I can lose sight of the barn, I read a enraged scream from Applejack clearly saying that I lost her. I ran, and ran and ran.
She just got JUKED, ha HA!
Stopping to catch my breath, I sat under a tree and tried to take a breather.
Last night and this morning, It's not even 8 in the morning yet and here I am. Like a ran a marathon.
Standing, I heard my stomach growl.
"Okay, okay. I'll feed ya, I'll feed ya" I said to my self, and looked up at the tree I was resting on. I don't want to steal from Applejack, but it's all I can do. I'll try to pay her later.
Preparing the stance, I kicked the tree in my hardest with my backhooves. I know it hurts but at least it shook down 3 or 4 apples to the ground.
As well, I have to keep moving. The crows flew away when I bucked the tree, that might get their attention that I'm here.
This is a tiring meeting from these two.
