My Only Chance

Chapter 3

I was slowly starting to come out of my deep slumber as I felt something lightly hit me on the head, at first it was gentle but it was starting to become rapid and with more force. Then one final hit that felt like I got punched in the face brought me sitting up clutching my face in pain. “Ahh, son of a bitch that hurts!” I yelled cradling my head in my hands. (Ok take the worst migraine you have ever had and times that by about hundred and even then I might not be enough to explain the pain in my head.)  Even after I sat there holding my head the pain wasn’t subsiding what so ever, once I realized the pain wasn’t going to go away till I got some pain killers I just opened my eyes, BIG MISTAKE.

I felt my eyes slowly starting to burn, for a bit I thought I could hear them sizzle in my head from the light that was shining in them. I saw Scootaloo standing beside me as I closed my eyes, “Scootaloo could you close the curtains over there please?” I asked knowing that the light had defeated me. I heard her trot away, and then I heard the curtains close. I once again tried to open my eyes this time succeeding in keeping them open. “Thanks Scootaloo.” I muttered standing up. “Uhhh, what time is it?” I asked looking around the room.

Then I saw the clock on the wall, it said 11:30 am. “Wow I thought I was going to sleep in later than that.” I said stumbling to the kitchen. I turned around and looked at Scootaloo, “When did you wake up?” I asked with an eyebrow raised. “I’m not sure what time but I heard what sounded like a lot of air being released all at once from something.” I just shrugged to the answer and went digging around in the fridge. ‘wait a lot of air being released at once early in the morning, hmm. That sound…wait… it couldn’t have been.’ “The bus!” I screamed, in the process I busted my head on a shelf inside of the fridge.

I went down on both knees clutching the back of my head to make sure that nothing else could possibly hurt my head anymore or give me permanent brain damage. I looked out the corner of my eye to see Scootaloo rolling on the floor about to die from laughter. At the time only one thought went through my head, ‘Why would they give pinkie the most powerful weapon known to anything in the universe or in this case any dimension. It just blows my mind. Because with laughter you could pretty much kill anything as long as you made it laugh hard enough, that would be a terrible way to go, all the muscles in your chest on fire every inch of your body hurting and worst is that no matter how hard you try you can’t breathe. Celestia tell me you did the right thing in giving the power of laughter to pinkie.’

Eventually I got back up and grabbed some pain meds to get rid of this demon in my head that keeps using it as a punching bag. “Well since I’m not going to school today, what do you want to do?” I asked walking over to Scootaloo. “Well actually I have a couple of questions to ask you, follow me.” She said with a hint of venom in her voice. ‘Aww shit, what did I do with in the few hours she’s been here.” I slowly followed her up the stairs to my room; it took us awhile since she was trying to walk on her bad hoof.

We walked into my room and I stood in the doorway while she stopped near my desk, ‘What is that hanging off my des… GOD DAM SON OF A BITCH, YOU FUCKING IDOIT HOW COULD YOU LET THOSE SIT IN THE OPEN!’ I screamed at myself in my mind, “Nick, What are these?” she said pointing a hoof to the pictures I have been drawing lately. I was stuck and had no way out of this one, ‘might as well fess up.’ I thought to myself. “Well I’m going to lay this out flat and simple for you, but before I do I want you to see something.” I said walking to my remote, I picked it up and turned on the TV. I went to Netflix and went to ‘Show Stoppers’. “I will say this before I start it, this is going to be really hard for you to take in and if you want to kill me afterwards go ahead, it’s fair in every way for what you are about to experience.” After saying that I turned and started the episode.

At first she just stared at it not evening moving, as it went on she got on my bed and lied down to continue watching it. During some parts I could see tears fill her eyes but I did nothing so she could continue to watch it undisturbed. After the episode was over it went back to where the rest of the episodes were waiting to see the next one you would choose. “Are there more?” Scootaloo asked. “Yes there are more.” I answered. I saw her look down at the bed and stare for a bit. “How many more?” she asked, which scared me since she didn’t say anything for awhile. “Well as of right now there are 52 in all including the one you just watched, not to mention it but season three is on the way with 26 more episodes.” I said collapsing on the floor almost in tears seeing her like this.

“Do you know when and how season three starts?” she asked, “It’s coming out sometime in august, Well I know it deals with the Crystal Kingdom as well as Twilight almost failing at something, they also confirmed three or four songs… but I don’t remember how many there are. I’m not sure but they said you would be getting your own episode this season as well as Derpy Hooves but no one is too sure about her but I think they confirmed that you are getting one.” I was in a heap with nothing but pity flowing out of me for her. “Well I can’t wait to see it!” I froze at her words. “What did you just say?” I looked up at her smiling face and lying on my bed on her side.

“You heard me I can’t wait to see the next episodes.” I literally couldn’t move from what she said, ‘I so thought she was going to take that hard and here I was crying like a damn baby for her.’ I thought to myself. “So you don’t mind the show, at all?” I said without a single expression on my face. “At first I did a little, but then I realized why you all would watch us. We are freaking hilarious!” she said looking at me; I slowly felt a smile grow on my face that was getting larger by the second.

“In that can I want to show you something stay right there.” I said standing up. I walked over to my desk and grabbed one of my many sketch pads, this one happened to be full of pictures that were finished and colored in. I opened it to the first page and took it over to Scootaloo to see. “Here look at this.” I said handing it to her.  She laid it down on the bed and looked at the picture, it was Twilight lying on the floor reading a book with her eyes half closed like she was about to fall asleep. “So…what do you think?” I asked standing next to the bed. She studied it for a bit and smiled. “This reminds me of Twilight exactly, how did you do it?” she asked now looking up at me. “I’m not sure, just practice I guess.” I said sheepishly while rubbing the back of my head.

“Well I don’t want to bore you with my pictures anymore, want to watch the very first episode of the show?” I asked trying to hold in another squee but if I let this one out it would not be a man squee it would have been a little girl just got a pony squee. (“Ha, I won the bet, subconscious always wins, so the next time you get morning wood you can’t do a thing you got to leave it be!” “Ah come on I thought you were joking! But it was just a small pun it doesn’t count” “Bullshit it counts all day baby, now I get to watch you suffer for a bit all this dam pain you been giving me.” “Shit.”) “Yeah sounds like fun!” she said looking back to the TV, I sat in the computer chair and started episode one of the first season.

While she lay there watching the show I grab my special sketch book and sat in on my lap and propped my feet up on the bed. I grabbed the sketch pad and angled it towards me; I looked at Scootaloo on the bed and drew a couple of structure lines and circles to get it just right. While she sat there I was quietly drawing her without her even knowing. I had set Netflix to start playing the next one as soon as one would finish so I wouldn’t be disturbed from my drawing, and continued on drawing my favorite character. ‘Well I really guess I can’t call any of them characters anymore since they are real.’
