Chapter 7: The Date And Stuff... (Peter)
After I got out of my body shaped crater with no injuries what so bucking ever I headed back to town to see if I could cause any other type of problems before sleeping on some bench or something. I walked along the streets for a while, nopony to be spotted anywhere. The only light still glimmering in the night was the lamp posts in the street, a guard was standing at the entrance of a store which just gave me a very bad idea. I was on top of the building in no time, the guard was still standing still at the door. The reminder of what I wanted to do came when I imagined a little button on the corner of the screen that said ‘assassinate’. I jumped at the guard from the top of the building resulting on a loud “thud” as he fell to the floor unconscious.
“No what I wanted, but oh well, works for me” I trotted into the building which was oddly small and at the center was a small chest. “…Seems legit.” I walked over to it cracked it open and found a sheet of paper in it, I stretched it out and read.
Dear Skamper Gunallen;
May your subconscious mind remind you to wake the buck up.
.
I woke up to see the sun rise in the distance, “My dreams are 120% awesome” as I got off the bench and headed over to the bank to make a completely legal withdraw.
“Get back here, criminal scum!” said one of the guards that was at the bank. You wonder why he was following me? I don’t remember anymore. I galloped away as fast as I could and hid inside a trash can, he galloped by and I got out, “mission success 100% synchronization”.
I was all ready when I arrived at Rainbow Dash’s house and knocked on the door. Nopony answered. For a second I thought about taking the door down, I’m not the patient kind of pony but I heard a loud crash and someone coming down the stairs .
“Coming!” she opened the door and saw me “oh it’s you, what do you want?”
“Well the date you promised me yesterday”
“Look uh, Skamper, right? I know you’re trying real hard for me to like you but it’s not working, so I would appreciate it if you would stop trying.”
“So is that “I’ll be right back let me get ready” or a “I’m ready lets go”?”
“You didn't pay attention to a single word I just told you right?”
“Nope.”
“Oh Celestia, you are a horrible pony. I'll be right back.”
She closed the door, when she came back out she was exactly the same. Mare logic, who can understand it?
(Rainbow Dash)
I was very serious about what I told him earlier, but he really didn't seem to give a buck. I mean, I really appreciate what he is trying to do, but he is just not my kind of guy. He just isn’t some pony I would like to be with in any type of problem or/and relationship.
I have no idea how he was able to walk on clouds without being a Pegasus and I could understand less how he jumped all the way from my house to the ground and didn't break any bones . Who is he exactly?
We were walking our way in Ponyville. I was doing my best to not let anypony see me with him, I didn't want anypony to get the wrong idea or anything. I wasn’t sure where we were going, I was just following him. We arrived at a very fancy restaurant where the Wonder Bolts regularly ate.
We walked in and inside were two of the Wonder Bolts. Soarin and Spitfire were sitting on a table for four, they must be waiting for someone. And guess who they were waiting for? Skamper waved at them and they told the receptionist to let us in. I can’t believe it! He actually got us seats with the Wonder Bolts! –fangirl squeal-
It had been a very pleasant meal. Talking with Soarin’ and Spitfire was the best. Somehow they knew Skamper I am not sure how but they did and him and Soarin were friends. Skamper had payed for all the food. When did he get so much money? Not only that but while with Soarin he actually acted mature! He didn't do anything random.He was acting like a gentleman all of a sudden. The day was so fun, before we knew it he was already dropping me off at my house. Somehow he had managed to get a ladder that got all the way up to my house.
“Well, thanks Skamper I actually had a good time." (Rainbow was thrown out of her personality with the exceptionally in there. She just isn't the pony to use a word like that.)
“Happy to see you happy, now if you will excuse me, MY PEOPLE NEED ME I MUST GO NOW.“He jumped off the cloud and opened a parachute. I don't even know where he got it, by Celestia's name he is random.
(Skamper)
“Ya hoooooooooooooo!“ I was having a blast using a parachute for the first time in my life. It was quite easy with the help of my magic, I was also taking the time to admire the surroundings. "This place sure is beautiful isn't it? 'gasp...' I think I left the toaster on, hmmm that could be a problem.
Nah my mom will probably save the house like always. Did I miss my home and family back on earth? Nah. You know, I learned to appreciate what you have when you have it. You never know when it could all be gone.
As I landed, I unbuckled my parachute and went to find a job in town. It was still an hour past noon. It was a good time, still enough time to find something to repay what I borrowed from the bank (Haha! Caught you there didn’t I! You really thought me, Skamper, would steal money? Its ok, you had your reasons to believe so. How I met the Wonder Bolts? Oh long story tell you later).
I found a little electronic store with a ‘help wanted’ sign outside. I walked in and the owner greeted me. The store was small, yes, but I mean, when you have ponies that know nothing about electronics I really doubt you could be making any profit by making it big. Anyway, the owner told me he would pay me five bits a day if I helped costumers around to buy and find what they needed. Seems like a good job to me.
I sat the behind the counter, it was starting to get dark when a yellow maned pegasus walked in. She got close and asked “Do you have a muffin machine?”
“You didn’t read the sign at the entrance did you?”
She looked at me curiously like if I was speaking in another language “Yes it said electronics doesn’t it?”
“Yea exactly, what made you think we would sell an oven or whatever you ponies use for cooking”
“Well actually“ she placed a broken-burned-rusty-all-kinds-of-damaged small oven on the table “I wanted to make more muffins at the same time than I regularly do and the oven busted into flames. I threw it out the window and threw a bucket of water at it.”
I started looking it over “Hmmm well in the first place this oven is too weak in fire power to even heat a potato so you can't make muffins in it at all, if we change that for a stronger pilot light.“ I moved some stuff in the small oven and took them out “It also has to be bigger to be able to bake muffins “ I took out a steel box and set it on the table. ”A stronger electric plug, and now let's just try to put all of these things together!“ I was pouring a vote of confidence on my powers by doing this but I mean it’s now or never. I concentrated in what I wanted to make and all the parts started to get a faint glow and started to smash together, I could feel it getting hotter and hotter and before I knew it there was a new looking oven on the counter.
“Wow thank you sir, how much will it be?”
I blinked a little at the sight of my awesome handy work hoof work but I snapped out of it. I thought through the parts I used and calculated ”30 bits, ma’am”
“Um, really? This si brand new one of these costs almost a solid 100 bits”
“You just met Skamper incorporated working here since today!" She paid and left.
Wow unicorn magic really is amazing. I got my pay for the day and then I headed back home.
Note: you never asked what was the mission to get 100% sinc :pretend to be followed by a guard when he is actually following a real criminal, foolssssss! -insert evil face here-
