Chapters Chapter 3: The Storm is Coming
After another day of hell at school I came home at 6 pm. The house was crowded with senior girls but I still went in. I found Adagio Dazzle and asked why the hell everyone is here. "The real question is, why the hell are you here?" Someone says grabbing me by the collar. It was the 2 bullies.
"Have you met these two yet? Their names are Mary Chief and Casey Crimson and they're my best friends." Adagio said. That explained alot.
"Don't come back here tonight, okay?" Mary says while pushing me outside. I took a long walk to the middle of nowhere until it started thunderstorming. But something strange happened to me. The thunderstorm electrocuted me but instead of killing me, it shrunk me. I was so surprised to be alive but had more problems. How would I get back to normal? I ran home and soon discovered that lightning bolt gave me super speed. I reached the front yard until I thought of something.
They're going to mistake me as a bug. I need to be careful. I entered the girls only party and I walked carefully. When I first walked in I saw Mary Chief and the cheerleaders talking about something, so I climbed up her white sneaker and held on to her blue shoe laces.
"HEY GIRLS LISTEN, I WANTED US TO COME HERE TO RELAX. HOW ABOUT WE ALL GO TO THE SPA." Mary said.
The spa? My sisters thought everything, huh. I might want to climb Mary's knee high socks in the case that she takes her shoes off aggressively. I thought as I start to climb her white sock. Keep in mind that this was not easy because every time she took a step it was a deafening BOOM. I reached the opening of the sock and wiggled in between the space between the sock and her thighs.
She must've felt me because she scratched her leg saying, "MY SOCK FEELS FUNNY." I made it to the spa where I saw plenty of fashionistas. Mary kicked off her sneakers and slid her socks off. I luckily grabbed her big toe as she took her socks off. "HEY, CASEY. WHERE'S ADAGIO?" Mary said while walking towards the hot tub.
"SHE'S UPSTAIRS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING." Casey said while putting back on her plaid socks. Mary looks down at me thinking I'm a bug.
"Ugh, why is there bugs on me?" She said while flicking her big toe up. I then landed in a cyan high heel.
I need to get out of here before- My thought process was interrupted when a giant plaid sock-clad foot entered the high heel. Casey... I thought while avoiding her foot. She walked upstairs to see Adagio alone still looking for something.
"HEY ADAGIO, DO YOU NEED HELP?" Casey asked while I climbed out of her high heel.
"NO, I'M FINE. JUST GO BACK TO THE PARTY." Adagio said while sitting on the bed. I quickly zoomed to and up Adagio while Casey walked downstairs. "HUH? THAT'S PRETTY QUICK FOR A BUG." Adagio said.
"ADAGIO! IT'S ME, THUNDER!" I said while waving my arms. Adagio gasped while gently picking me up.
"THUNDER?" Adagio says tearing up a bit.
"THUNDER? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?" Adagio said while giving me a gentle hug.
"After your best friends kicked me out, I just wandered off, then it started thunderstorming. I was then struck by a lightning bolt but instead of killing me, it shrunk me down to this size." I said while tearing up. Adagio then gives me a smile and wipes my tears away.
"DON'T WORRY, THUNDER. WE WILL ALL DO OUR PART TO HELP YOU RETURN TO NORMAL. BUT FIRST, LET'S GO DOWNSTAIRS. I HAVE SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER." Adagio said while walking downstairs.
When we got downstairs, we found Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk talking to Trixie. "HELLO GIRLS, CAN I TALK TO YOU IN THE LIVING ROOM PLEASE?" Adagio says while gently placing me in her curly hair. When I was normal sized, her hair just looked like curly hair. But at the size of an ant it was a forest of curly golden brown trees with an intoxicating scent of shampoo. I almost wanted to live there. There was also a spiky headband that connects her hair.
"WHAT'S WRONG ADAGIO?" Sonata asked. Adagio rubs her head feeling for me. She then picks me up by my collar and shows my shrunken body to the girls and places me on a table. They all in unison gasp and crowd me. "WHAT HAPPENED TO LITTLE THUNDER?" Sonata asked.
"HE SAID HE WAS SHRUNK BY A LIGHTNING BOLT." Adagio answered.
"A LIGHTNING BOLT?"
"A MAGICAL ONE MAYBE."
"SO, WHAT DO YOU NEED US TO DO?" Aria said while picking me up.
"I NEED YOU TO TAKE CARE OF HIM FOR THE TIME BEING. I CAN'T LET OTHERS KNOW WE HAVE A PROBLEM." Adagio said while walking out of the room.
"YOU CAN COUNT ON US." Trixie says with a smile.
Aria then held me close to her chest and said, "GO ON OUT TO THE PARTY, I'LL WATCH HIM."
"I WANT TO WATCH HIM AS WELL." Sonata said.
"THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO WATCH HIM." Trixie agrees.
"THEN LET'S TAKE TURNS. I'LL WATCH HIM FOR THRITY MINUTES THEN WE SWITCH FROM ME TO SONATA TO TRIXIE." Aria suggests.
"OKAY, HAVE FUN." Sonata said a smile.
Aria placed me on the table while looking down at me with a smile. This made me tremble in fear because when ever she smiled, something bad always happens. That wasn't the case this time around because after she smiled, she leaned toward me, gave a kiss and said, "DON'T WORRY THUNDER. I WON'T HURT YOU." She sounded sincere but I didn't know if it was a trick or not.
"H-how can I t-trust you?" I say still scared to death.
"THUNDER, I'M SORRY." Aria said while picking me up gently.
"For what?" I asked.
"I'M SORRY FOR TREATING YOU HORRIBLY. ACTUALLY WE ARE ALL SORRY FOR EVERYTHING BAD THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU, ESPECIALLY YESTERDAY." They really did care. I ran up her arm and hugged her on her neck. She then covers me with both of her hands giving me the biggest, most warmest hug.
"I LOVE YOU TOO, THUNDER." Aria said while taking a picture out of her pocket. She showed me it and said, "DID I EVER SHOW YOU THIS PICTURE?" It was a picture of all three of my sisters. I then shook my head in confusion. "THIS WAS ME, SONATA, AND ADAGIO PERFORMING AT A CONCERT. OUR GROUP IS CALLED THE DAZZLINGS AND WE STILL DO SING SOMETIMES BUT ONLY FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS." Aria said while placing me gently on the table. I had a shocked expression on my face because I was so amazed by who my new family was.
"I never knew that my family was so cool. I feel really lucky to have singers as a family because I love listening to music." I said with a smile.
Aria blushed at this comment and said, "I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE A LITTLE BROTHER WHO LOVES MUSIC."
Right when Aria finished talking, Sonata came in and said, "IT'S MY TURN NOW, I HOPE YOU TWO HAD FUN."
"WE DID, BUT PLEASE DO ME A FAVOR AND BE CAREFUL WITH HIM. HE IS SMALLER THAN US SO HE CAN GET HURT MORE EASILY THAN US." Aria said.
"DON'T WORRY, ARIA. YOU HAVE MY WORD." Sonata said while picking me up gently and placing me gently in her pony tail. She then walked off and Aria waved at me.
Chapter 7: Meeting Trixie Lulamoon
"HI SONATA." Trixie says while approaching and sitting on the bed.
"HI TRIXIE, IS IT THAT TIME ALREADY?" Sonata asked.
"YES, IT IS." Trixie said with a smile.
"OKAY, HAVE FUN AND PLEASE DON'T LET HIM GET HURT." Sonata said in a worried tone.
"NOT A PROBLEM." Trixie said with honor. Sonata then smiled and left the room while Trixie picked me up by the collar. She then held me up to her face while smiling which made me feel uncomfortable in a way. "HEY THERE, LITTLE GUY. ARE YOU SCARED OF ME?" She said. I nodded. "DON'T WORRY, I GAVE THE GIRLS MY WORD." She said while placing me gently on her nose. Her giant purple eyes looked at me and I saw my reflection. "I REALLY DO FEEL SORRY FOR YOU. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH WITH WHAT YOU HAD TO WITNESS ON YOUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. I SAW WHAT HAPPENED AT LUNCH, THE COURTYARD AND TONIGHT WHEN YOU GOT KICKED OUT." She said. I started to cry because she was the only person who actually cared about me and I didn't even know it. She saw this, picked me up and gave me a gentle hug. "IT'S OKAY, THUNDIE." She said.
"That might be the first nickname I have received that I don't feel bad being called." I said. We both shared a giggle. Trixie then frowned at me. "What's wrong, Trixie?"
"THUNDIE, THIS IS ALL MY FAULT YOUR THIS SIZE." Trixie said in a sad tone.
"How?" I asked.
"I WAS OUTSIDE PRACTICING A MAGIC TRICK THAT SENDS BOLTS OF ELECTRICITY OUT OF MY WAND. BUT IT BACKFIRED AND WENT INTO THE CLOUDS. THAT'S WHEN IT CAME BACK DOWN AND STRUCK THE OTHER SIDE OF MY HOUSE. IF YOUR STORY IS TRUE, THEN I MADE YOU THIS WAY. I'M REALLY SORRY." Trixie said.
"It's okay. At least I got one good thing out of this." I said optimisticly.
"WHAT'S THAT?" Trixie asked.
"Better relationships with people who care. People like you." I answered. This made her blush. She then started sniffing the air.
"DO YOU SMELL THAT?" Trixie asked.
"No. Why? What does it smell like?" I asked.
"IT SMELLS LIKE STINKY FEET." Trixie said.
"It might be me. On my way to getting Adagio's attention I hitched a ride on Mary's knee high socks. She also took her socks off so I held on to her big toe. She then mistakes me for a bug and flicks her big toe up and I accidentally get put into Casey's cyan high heel. She then walks up to Adagio and that's how I was found." I explained.
"IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD A LONG DAY. HOW ABOUT I CLEAN YOU UP MYSELF?" Trixie said.
"I-I'd like that." I stuttered. The reason I was stuttering wasn't because of being afraid. I was feeling something bigger than fear. I felt enchanted by who she was. She was like a sister who just loves me for who I am. At this moment, I had a crush on a girl for the first time.
Trixie walks downstairs and we both saw that everyone left the party. Everyone except for my sisters who were still cleaning up after the party.
"HI TRIXIE." Adagio said while holding a broom. She looks down at me with a smile. "WHY ARE YOU TWO DOWN HERE?" She asked.
"HE'S JUST GOING TO TAKE A BATH AND THEN HE'S GOING TO BED. I JUST NEED THE SINK AND DISHWASHING LIQUID." Trixie answered.
"THE SINK AND DISHWASHING LIQUID ARE IN THE KITCHEN." Adagio said.
"THANKS." Trixie said while walking to the sink. She then puts dishwashing liquid in, places me in the sink, and scrubs me with a dish rag. After my bath she placed me on a towel and dried me to perfection. "THERE, GOOD AS NEW. C'MON, IT'S TIME FOR BED." She said as she placed me gently in her hair.
We got upstairs and I started yawning. "YOUR SISTERS WANT YOU TO SLEEP IN THEIR ROOM, JUST IN CASE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS." Trixie said as she placed me in a dog bed on the ground. She then brings the covers up to my neck and gives me a big, warm kiss goodnight. "GOODNIGHT, LITTLE THUNDIE. SWEET DREAMS." She said. I then feel asleep with the warmest feeling inside. But later that night, I had my first nightmare. Well not first, but it was a scary one.
Okay before I describe this nightmare, I need to explain something. About 90% of my nightmares are Prophetic meaning it's a possible future that is extremely likely to happen. Also, the 90% of nightmares I have are based on things that have happened in the past. Now that the important public service announcement is over, allow me to explain what made my warm feeling turn into fear.
When I woke up from bed it was a normal day except my sisters were at a slumber party with friends. I thought it might be okay to go outside, but something seemed off. When I walked outside I saw princess Twilight Sparkle who was supposed to be dead. "Princess?" I said confused. "B-But your supposed to be-"
"Save it, Thunder." She said. "You have not been without me. You never will."
"That's good to-" I was interrupted when a giant thunder cloud came into view. The thunder cloud then made a loud, thunderous (no pun intended) BOOM.
"Thunder, RUN!" Twilight says as she put a magical shield up. A giant spear of lightning bursted through Twilight's shield and through her.
"Holy shit, what the hell is that thing!?" I said with fear. The spear of thunder then takes the form of a dark pony. The pony. . .was Queen Chrysalis. "What are you doing here? Get out of my world, you already have one." I tell the Changeling Queen.
"Correction, dumbass. WE HAVE A WORLD!" She said. Dafuq?
"Who the hell is 'we'?" I ask. The broken changeling pony morphed into a human. The human. . .was Mary. "Mary Chief? Why is Queen Chrysalis apart of you?"
"Allow me to explain, loser. Queen Chrysalis merged with my body giving me ultimate power. Enough power to destroy rebellious douchebags like YOU!" She said while the whole sky filled with cosmic darkness. "Since I merged with Queen Chrysalis, I have changed into the ruthless girl that is standing in front of you. There is no Mary Chief, there is no Queen Chrysalis. There is only. . .MISCHIEF!" Mischief said as she started to grow into a giant blue and black monster, which is kind of fitting if you ask me. I tried to run away from her, but she trapped me in webbing that resembled her color.
"Mary, what are you doing?" I asked feeling scared.
"SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE DONE A LONG TIME AGO." Mischief said while picking me up with her webbing and swallowing me whole.
I wake with a jolt and tears in my eyes. I was feeling myself about to cry and I tried to hold it in, but it was no use. I balled my eyes out. I then saw Adagio, who must have been woken by my crying, look over the bed with frown. "ARE YOU OKAY, THUNDER?" She asked. I nod while trying to rub the tears from my eyes. "NO YOU'RE NOT! YOU HAVE BEEN CRYING IN YOUR SLEEP." She said in an angry tone. I then cried even more. She then frowns again. "DID YOU HAVE A NIGHTMARE?" She asked. I was too scared to lie even more, especially to her. I nodded again. "I THOUGHT SO." She says while extending her hand to my ground level. "COME HERE. YOU CAN SLEEP WITH ME TONIGHT." I walked on to the palm of her hand and she lifted me up steadily to her face. She then sits on the edge of her bed and wipes my tears away from my face. "IT'S OKAY, THUNDER." She says while hugging me close to her right cheek. "NO MORE TEARS, EVERYTHING WILL BE BETTER IN THE MORNING." She then places me in her hair. "GOODNIGHT, LITTLE THUNDER." She said. I fall asleep once again with no more nightmares for the night.
Author's Note
I almost cried while making this.
After a good night's sleep, me and Adagio woke up to get ready for school. More like Adagio woke up because I was tangled in her hair. Adagio put on her clothes and boots and finally noticed me in her hair and said, "OOPS, SORRY THUNDER." She then picks me up by my t-shirt collar and places me on her shoulder.
"Adagio, what am I going to where today? My clothes are way too big for me." I said. Adagio quickly pulls something out of a dollhouse. Oh hell no. . . I thought with bad flashbacks to my first day at school. But to my surprise, she pulled out a whole men's wardrobe for dolls.
"HERE, PICK WHAT YOU WANT. I'M GOING DOWNSTAIRS TO COOK BREAKFAST." Adagio said while gently placing me on the floor. She then walked off with booming footsteps while I search for something to wear.
"Hmm. . .what to where. Oh, I know." I said while getting a red t-shirt, blue jeans, and a snapback hat. "Perfect." I said proudly. Then something hit my mind about yesterday. "I wonder if that lightning bolt gave me more powers." I said. Suddenly, everything started to float. "Is that me doing this?" I ask myself. Everything then slowly went to the ground. "I should probably try that again." I say to myself. I focus on the wardrobe and surely enough it lifts and slowly comes down. "Wait, I CAN MOVE THINGS WITH MY MIND!?" I say surprised. "Of course, telekinesis."
Just as my experience is over, I hear Adagio yell, "THUNDER, BREAKFAST IS READY." I run downstairs with my super speed all the way to my plate.
"WOW YOUR FAST." Sonata said. I ate my food quickly and we left to go to Canterlot High School. Aria then picks me up and walks me to the car. I sit on her lap for the whole car ride.
As we arrived at school on a summer hot day, I was told important information. If I get caught, about 75% of the time students will notice me as a bug. I need to be careful I thought to myself. Since I was small, I took advantage of my size and initiated my, how do I say this, "crossing the line" plan. I wanted to get revenge on the girls basketball team, so I entered the girls locker room. It was deserted, no girl in sight. "Perfect." I said to myself. To get revenge, I was going to puncture their favorite ball. It was colored blue and yellow, the school colors. Just then the door opened and to my surprise it wasn't just the girls basketball team. . .it was also the cheerleaders. I quickly hide under a locker bench to remain unnoticed. I saw Mary who was wearing a blue dress and golden sandals come towards me. She stopped in front of me, unaware of my presence. Maybe I should hitch a ride on her foot. I think to myself as I enter the space between her big toe and second toe. I then see her take out a cheerleading outfit and walk off. As she walks off, a basketball player comes out of nowhere.
"HI, MARY. NICE DRESS." She said.
"THANKS, I JUST GOT IT YESTERDAY." Mary said. As they were talking, I decided to go after the basketball. I reached the ball but it was too high up. Then an idea came to mind.
"I lifted up objects before. Maybe I can lift myself to high ground." I said as I lifted myself using my newly found power. I then reached the basketball. "Now for the moment I've been waiting for." I said to myself. I used a thumbtack that was near the ball, punctured the ball and ran out of there. "Close one." I said trying to get over the fact that my plan actually worked. It was almost too easy. I then heard screams from the locker room. Wow. They care that much about a ball? I thought as the girls basketball team walked out. They started talking outside of the locker room.
"I CAN'T BELIEVED THAT THIS HAPPENED." One girl said.
"THERE'S NO PRACTICE UNTIL IT GETS PATCHED UP." Another said with anger in her voice. "WHEN I FIND THE GIRL WHO DID THIS, I'M GONNA KICK HER ASS, JUST LIKE I KICKED THE LOSER'S ASS BEFORE."
This "girl" has a name, bitch. I thought as Madison came out wearing her cheerleading outfit.
"The girl who did this will not get away with this. I'm going to the principal to report this incident." Mary said as she walked away. Okay after what happened, I will admit that I went little too far but I got it done without being noticed so there's no evidence against me. Honestly, it was just an easy fix being that the hole can be easily patched up, but being angry must be the principle I guess. I went to go find my sisters and we all went home when school ended.
Chapter 10: The Babysitter
We got home but something surprising happened. "WE'RE GOING TO A PARTY, BUT YOU CAN'T COME." Aria said.
"Aww, but I love parties. Why can't I come to this party?" I said dissapointed.
"UNFAMILIAR GROUNDS, PLUS MARY CHIEF AND CASEY CRIMSON WILL BE THERE." Sonata answered. She did have a good point.
"DON'T WORRY THUNDER, WE CAN DO SOMETHING FUN TOMORROW." Adagio said with a smile trying to cheer me up. I think it kind of worked but the icing on the cake that made me not want to go was the two bullies that were going. "OH AND I FORGOT TO MENTION, YOUR GETTING A BABYSITTER TONIGHT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE SAFE. I DO TRUST YOU, BUT YOU ARE TOO SMALL TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF." She said. Okay as much as I want to disagree with that last statement, she wasn't wrong. But who knows, maybe the babysitter could be fun.
"Okay. Bye girls, see you tomorrow." I said as I ran upstairs to my room to play with my toys.
About an hour later, my head started to vibrate rapidly and I saw the door open and close as the babysitter came in. "I can see things before they happen?" I say surprised. "Must be a sixth sense, I should call it Thunder Sense." I then run downstairs and see the babysitter watching tv while sitting on the couch with her legs across the ottoman. The babysitter was yellow skined and wore purple flats, knee high socks, black skirt with purple dots, pale blue shirt with a purple jacket, purple glasses, and had two green ponytails. I climb the couch to her phone that was on the edge of the couch.
She sees me and says, "EWW, THERE'S A BUG ON MY PHONE." I then got swiped off her phone and to make matters worse, she takes her shoes off and they land next to me. I climb the ottoman and decide to climb her sock-clad foot. I reach her big toe and start to wave both arms trying to get her attention, but all that happened was her wiggling her toes. I then slide down her foot and walk to her skirt using her leg as a bridge. Her phone started ringing and I almost lost my balance on her skirt as she reached over to get her phone.
"HELLO?" She said talking on the phone. "HEY MARY."
How many friends does she have? I thought as I climbed her shirt.
"SORRY BUT I CAN'T COME TO THE PARTY BECAUSE I'M BABYSITTING RIGHT NOW. THIS BOY IS ONE MYSTERIOUS PERSON THOUGH. HE HASN'T COME OUT OF HIS ROOM YET." The babysitter said.
"Hasn't come out of his room my ass!" I said in an angry tone as I climb into her ear. Remember when I said the hair is a good smelling jungle? Well the ear is the opposite of a home. It smelled horrendous from the earwax build up and there was disgusting hairs everywhere. It's a good thing I didn't come to stay. "HELLO? DO YOU HEAR ME!" I yell. Suddenly, everything started to get dark. That's when I saw her giant finger enter her ear. Yeah, she heard me alright. I climb up to her fingernail as she pulls her finger out. I then jump and grab a strand of hair from her pony tail and swing on to her nose. Her giant, blue eyes dart from all directions until they focus on me.
"HANG ON MARY, I'LL HAVE TO CALL YOU BACK." She says while sniffing her nose. My world started to vibrate rapidly and I loss my balance, landing in a bag of chips. "THE Dazzlings SHOULD REALLY CALL AN EXTERMINATOR. THAT'S THE THIRD BUG TODAY." She said as she grabbed the potato chip I was on and opened wide. I saw her the pink mouth walls, giant white teeth, and tounge covered in saliva as the potato chip came closer to her mouth.
"HEY, DOWN HERE!" I yelled scared to death.
"WHO SAID THAT?" She asked.
"I'M ON YOUR CHIP IN YOUR HAND!" I said in terror. She looks down at me with a gasp and places me in the palm of her hand.
"YOU MUST BE THUNDER. WHEN ADAGIO SAID LITTLE BROTHER I DIDN'T THINK HE WOULD BE ABLE TO STAND ON THE PALM OF MY HAND. MY NAME IS JUNIPER MONTAGE." Juniper said.
"Hi Juniper." I said as I started to get hungry. "I'm kind of hungry. Can I have some of your chips please?"
"YES, YOU CAN. I ALSO HAVE CARDS IF YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH ME."
"UNO!" I yelled. "I win again." Juniper smiled as it turned ten o'clock pm. "Can we play again?" I asked.
"I'M SORRY THUNDER, BUT IT'S TIME FOR BED." Juniper said as she picked me up and held me in her arms as if I was a baby. I honestly liked it, it felt warm and friendly. When we got to Adagio's room, I told her I wanted to sleep in Adagio's bed but I can't sleep after a nightmare I had last night. "IT'S OKAY, THUNDER." She said as she placed me on Adagio's pillow. "NOTHING CAN HARM YOU NOW. YOU'RE BRAVER THAN YOU THINK." She then pulls the covers up to my neck. "GOODNIGHT THUNDER. I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING." She said as she gives me a kiss on the forehead for a good night's sleep and then walks out. I fall asleep with no nightmares.
I was having a dream about saving the world from a giant monster and being a super hero to more than just myself. My dream was then interrupted by the power going out and I woke up in a jolt. Uh oh, I don't do very well in the dark. . . I thought. I started to get scared as it thunderstormed even harder. Normally I wouldn't be scared of a thunderstorm but at my size the thunderstorm was so loud and scared me. I hid under the pillow thinking I would be safe. Then the door opened and I saw Juniper Montage come in with a candle.
Juniper then lifted the pillow above my head and picked me up and said, "YOU POOR LITTLE THING." I was extremely scared of thunderstorms at my current size. "C'MON, LET'S GO GET THE POWER ON." She said as she gave me a gentle hug.
"I wish I could help somehow." I said. My fingertips felt like there was something surging in it. Then my hands started surging with electricity. What's going on? I thought as we got to the power box.
"THERE IT IS." Juniper said as I sent a surge of electricity to the power box.
"That lightning bolt that shrunk me must have also gave me electrokinesis." I said.
"THAT'S AMAZING. NOW THAT THE POWER'S BACK ON, WE CAN GO TO BED." Juniper said.
"Okay, can I sleep with you tonight?" I asked.
"OF COURSE YOU CAN." Juniper said as we both then went to Adagio's bed and fell fast asleep. "GOODNIGHT, THUNDER."
Chapter 11: Meeting the Rainbooms
The next day I woke up to an up and down motion. But the weirdest thing was where I woke up at. I woke up in a purple, dark area and only saw light when I looked up. I climb up to get out of my area and realized where I actually was. This is Juniper Montage's jacket pocket. I thought to myself.
Juniper then sees me and said, "OH, YOU'RE AWAKE. GOOD MORNING THUNDER."
"Morning, Juniper." She then grabs me and places me on her nose. I look around to see I'm at a mall. I then see seven girls coming my way. The first girl had pink hair, yellow skin, blue dress and pink sandals; the second had rainbow hair, blue skin, white shirt, blue jacket, black pants and blue basketball shoes; the third had golden brown hair, orange skin, cowboy hat, white shirt, blue skirt, and brown cowboy boots; the fourth had purple hair lined with magenta, purple skin, black glasses, blue shirt, purple skirt and shoes; the fifth had purple hair, white skin, blue dress, purple skirt and high heels; the sixth had pink hair and skin, white shirt and leggings, and a pink tutu; and the last one had red and yellow hair, orange skin and shirt, black leather jacket, purple skirt and black boots. The one with red and yellow hair then comes closer to me, grabs me with two fingers, places me safely in her palm and looks down at me with a smile. I give her a nervous smile because I was a little bit scared of all seven girls. She then opens up her hand and shows me to the rest of her friends.
"AWW." They all said.
"Who are you girls?" I asked
"MY NAME IS FLUTTERSHY." The girl with the blue dress said.
"MY NAME IS RAINBOW DASH." The rainbow haired girl said.
"MY NAME IS APPLEJACK." The cowgirl said.
"MY NAME IS TWILIGHT SPARKLE." The girl with glasses said.
"MY NAME IS RARITY." The girl with high heels said.
"MY NAME IS PINKIE PIE." The girl with the pink tutu said.
I then looked up at the girl who was holding me in the palm of her hand and said, "What's your name?"
"MY NAME IS SUNSET SHIMMER. YOU MUST BE THE LITTLE BOY JUNIPER HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT. THUNDER, ISN'T IT?" She said as I nodded. She then looked at Twilight and said, "TWILIGHT, YOU SAID YOU NEEDED TO SEE HIM RIGHT?"
"YES, I DID. C'MON, LET'S GO TO MY LAB." Twilight said while gently picking me and looking at me.
"L-Lab?" I said nervously.
"DON'T WORRY THUNDER, I'M ONLY GOING TO FIX YOU TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY." She said as I smiled.
"Your going to turn me back to normal?" I said.
"YES, IT'S WHAT YOU WANTED. RIGHT?" She said.
"Yes!" i said exicited. We all got on the Rainbooms' bus and drove off to Twilight's house. On the way there, I sat in fluttershy's lap. She would stroke my stomach periodically and try her best to make me feel comfortable.
"ARE YOU EXICTED TO TURN BACK TO NORMAL?" Fluttershy asked.
"Yes, I am." I answered. Rarity, who was sitting next to us, picked me up with two fingers and gave my a kiss. "What was that for?" I asked her.
"FOR GOOD LUCK." She said.
"Thanks." I said.
"YOU'RE WELCOME DARLING." We got to Twilight's house and went straight to her lab. Twilight placed me in a capsule and started the device. I started to grow bigger and bigger until I was at eye level with Twilight.
She then gave me a hug and said, "It worked, but there is a slight side effect."
"What's that?" I asked. I then began to shrink and grow back to normal. "I have a new super power. Twilight, this is incredible." I then said bye to everyone and ran home.
Chapter 13: Canterlot City Needs a Hero
As I ran off, my Thunder Sense started tingling. I then saw it, a red creature with a black face was wreaking havoc in the city along with the creature I saw in my dream. "That must be Mary for sure, but who is the other one?" I said to myself. I also saw something else...Juniper Montage was stuck in a taxi that was suspended in the air by Madison's webbing. "I've got to go faster if I want to stop her." I said as I ran faster.
I arrived at the city and went straight to Juniper. "Thunder, she's gonna kill us both." She said.
"I'm gonna get you out of this." I said.
"Watch out!" Juniper said. The creature from my dream a.k.a Mischief came at me and kicked me in the face while swinging on a web which took off the roof of the taxi and almost made me fall off. I climbed back up on the taxi. The creature then revealed itself to be Mary Chief.
"What's up, loser." She said.
"Mary?" I said.
"My name is Mischief. Don't you ever forget that." She said.
"What do you want with her?" I ask.
"Hey, I think my Thunder Sense is tingling." She said while picking up Juniper with her webbing. "If you know what I'm talking about." She said while pointing at Juniper and laughing.
"Oh no you don't." I said running towards her. She then does an extended punch and I fall down to the bottom of her web. She jumps down while webbing my arms and smiles evilly. The webbing on the taxi was starting to break. "You already killed my sisters. What more do you want?" I said.
"Ever since I had this power, I have felt unstoppable. I can now take over the world and now I can because anyone that will rebel can't stop me." Mischief said.
"What about the Rainbooms?" I asked.
"I already killed them." She answered. I was wondering why they weren't at the funeral. "Now it's time for you to join them!" She then conceals her face with webbing and raised her claw at my face while screaching. What she didn't see was a concreate block plummeting on her head that was thrown by Juniper Montage. I took advantage of this distraction and used my electricity to weaken the webbing wrapped around my arms. I grabbed her body and threw her down while flying up to Juniper Montage.
"Told you I'd get you out of this." I said while flying her to the ground.
"Thanks for rescuing me." She said.
"Your welcome, now get out of here and escort everyone to safety because things might get a little messy." I ordered.
"Okay, you can count on me." She said. Right when she left, Trixie came to talk to me.
"Trixie? What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I've come to help you because what happened to the Dazzlings and the Rainbooms wasn't right." She explained.
"How did you know about the Rainbooms?" I asked.
"I was with them when they got shot down by a drive by. They sacrificed themselves to save me. I later found out that the drive by was organized by Mary Chief so I figured we could team up because of our simular interests." She explained.
"Okay. You can help but how are you going to do that?" I asked. Trixie then gives a smirk.
"You'll see." She said as I ran us back to the tower where Fear was until we were stopped by the red creature with a black face. It showed us who was under the mask.
"Casey!?" We both said.
"The name's Carnage." She said.
"The great and powerful Trixie has a friend who has a score to settle with your friend." Trixie says while covering her body in black webbing.
"What the hell are you?" Carnage asked.
"We...are Venom." She said.
"Time to minimize the carnage." I said while electrocuting Carnage. Venom then follows up with a few slashes and rips Carnage out of Casey.
"No, you...you can't do this to me." Casey said.
"I already have." I said with revenge in my eyes. "And it feels so FUCKING good!" I then punch her off the tower and into a police van.
"Thunder, are you okay?" Trixie says worried.
"Never better. Now let's get Mary." I said as we both ran to the top of the tower and faced Mischief.
"If it isn't the special victims." She said. "Your just in time to witness the destruction of your beloved city."
"How so?" I said while Mischief jumped to the ground. "A fall like that is fatal. I guess our work here is do-" I was interrupted by the ground shaking. I then saw a giant form of Queen Chrysalis. "Aw fuck." I said as me and Venom were pushed off the ground by her giant hoof. Venom swung us both to safety. I then to my surprise saw Juniper didn't leave yet. "Juniper? I thought I told you to leave the city!" I yell at her.
"I can't leave just yet." She said as her body started glowing. Then clones of Juniper came out of nowhere and surrounded her and kept saying my name. Juniper then absorbed the clones grew to the size of Queen Chrysalis. I just stood there in awe. She then picks me and Venom up and places us in her hair. "C'MON, WE'VE GOT A JOB TO DO." She said while walking towards Queen Chrysalis.
(After a long 10 minutes of the battle...)
Queen Chrysalis was getting weak but her horn started glowing. "THIS IS THE END FOR YOU!" She said while launching a constant magic beam at us. Juniper was blocking the attack the best she could.
"While we're taking no damage, we still can't attack and are vulnerable to one last blow. What are going to do?" I said. I then heard my name from above. It was my sisters. They flew into Juniper and released a magical beam that was five times the size of Chrysalis'. Chrysalis then shrunk back to normal and turned back into Madison. Juniper also shrunk back to normal as her clones exited her body saying "bye-bye". My sisters gave us all a kiss before heading back to the heavens, making me almost cry. We all then confronted Mary. "It's over, Mary. Give up now."
"No, It's not over." She then ran away. I started to run back home until a crowd of High School girls came after all three of us. Before they asked for a single autograph, I teleported all three of us out of the city...or so it seemed. What really happened was that I shrunk us and ran us back to Trixie's house. I then turned us all back to normal and we hugged it out.

This whole scene is a reference to an ending battle in one of my favorite movies. There is also a reference to a video game when Thunder realizes that Juniper didn't leave yet.
Epilogue: A New Beginning
After the battle I went to go find the Rainbooms and the Dazzlings to bring them back to life. How did I do this? Simple, I electrocuted their bodies and fully restored their lives. They all came up to me and almost suffocated me from hugging me so tight.
I went back to the school with them and everyone applauded me for saving the city and their lives... well almost everyone.
The cheerleaders and a group of fashionistas were still loyal to Mary, but you can't please everyone. Right?
I also found out that my electrokinesis gave me the power to create anything I can set my mind to like one of my favorites, the Electro-Whip.
I also got a girlfriend who loves magic and speaking in third person. Me and Trixie are always getting compliments on how happy we look together. One day I might just marry her.
We also make a pretty good team fighting against evil alongside the Rainbooms and the Dazzlings. I think I have more enemies in prison than they do. Casey Crimson a.k.a. Carnage is in there along side other crimnals I don't like to think about.
Speaking of evil, Mary Chief a.k.a. Mischief is still out there possibly plotting her revenge to take over the world. The next time she tried to get her revenge, she caused interdimensional problems through time and space where me alongside alternate versions of me from different dimensions had to fight back, but that is another story.
I remember Equestria like it was yesterday but I would honestly love to forget. When I first came into the world, I sent to an orphanage with a name tag on me that read, "Thunder".
The orphanage was called "Equestria's Hope", but the title is very misleading. When I grew up there for fourteen years, I was bullied by everyone including the adults for everything. I was bullied for being smart, for being a fast runner, and for being the one orphan parents would not want. On the days that I would finally stand up for myself, I would lose with my face on the floor. To sum up my life in the Orphanage, I always say this, "Some wounds never heal."
On year fourteen of being at the orphanage, there was an unpleasant surprise for everyone.
"Attention everyone. We will now being going to Princess Twilight Sparkle's castle. Just until the changeling attack stops." The advisor said.
Usually I would not open my mouth but I had to ask, "What's a changeling?" The moment I asked that, I was given stares of shock.
"Okay, cut him some slack everyone. He's been in the orphanage all his life." The advisor said. She then looked at me and said, "A changeling is a pony with holes and black skin that can shapeshift into anything. They also feed off of the love of others and are always hungry. Their leader as of now is Queen Chrysalis and her mission is to take over Equestria."
As we all got to the castle, Twilight put us in our beds and sung us to sleep. I however couldn't sleep so I went to go find her.
"Hi princess. I couldn't sleep so I just woke up." I said.
"You can stay up and watch the stars with me if you want." Twilight said. Just as she said that, Queen Chrysalis came bursting in.
"Hello, Princess Twilight. Did you miss me?" said Queen Chrysalis charging up her horn.
"What do you want?" asked Twilight defending me.
"I want you to suffer!" said Queen Chrysalis shooting her beam through Twilight which in turn blasted me through a mirror. I went through what seemed to be a rainbow and ended up in another world. Normally I would cry but considering the other shit I went through, I can't cry anymore.
After venturing through the strange new world, I found a giant apartment. Maybe I should see if they can help me. I thought. I knocked and the door opened. There were three girls at the door. One had green hair with purple and pink clothing along with sneaker boots; one had purple hair with a green jacket, white shirt, purple pants and boots; and one had orange curly hair and wore purple clothes and boots. The one with curly hair steps forward and says, "Are you okay? You look badly hurt." I said nothing. "You can live with us. Would you like that?" I nodded with a smile. She tells me her name is Adagio Dazzle, the one with purple hair was Aria Blaze, and the one with green hair was Sonata Dusk. She walks me to my room and says good night with a smile. Wow, they seemed liked they cared about me. Maybe this could work. I thought as I went to bed. But I haven't seen nothing yet.
"Morning, Shorty." Aria said while pulling my covers off.
Who the hell is "Shorty?" I thought. "Aria, that's not my name." I reply in a serious tone.
"It is now. Go clean up the bathroom." She says while walking me toward the bathroom. The bathroom had walls colored yellow, green, and purple; a big beauty mirror bordered with musical notes; a floor that was decked with marble tiles.
"What's wrong with the bathroom?" I said.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Sonata said running towards the bathroom. She took 10 minutes to use it and Sonata handed me a plunger after she came out.
"I've never used this before, how does it work?" I asked.
"You'll see." She says with a wink. I walk in and see the biggest turd I have ever seen in my life. I try to plunge it out, but it was too hard.
"Have you given up already?" Adagio says while slashing my butt with a belt. I was indeed going to give up, but I like not getting hurt. This beating always hurt like shit because the belt had tiny spikes on it. I got a lot of these because I was one of the biggest screw ups in the world. I also 9 times out of 10 didn't know what the hell I was doing. I only stayed there because I knew there was good in them. Then one day school started and that was almost like deja vu from my childhood.
Chapter 2: Canterlot High School
"SHORTY, MOVE YOUR ASS! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE TO SCHOOL!" Adagio says while pulling my covers off the bed.
"What? Hang on, I don't have any extra clothes." I reply.
"You do now." Adagio says with a maniacal laugh. She tosses me a yellow dress and says, "Hurry up or we'll be late. "
Talk about first day impression I thought to myself. We arrived at the school on time and I had the worst first day in the history of first days for anyone. My new sisters left me behind as they went in the school. As soon as I opened the door, laughs filled every hall I walked. I even got ANOTHER nickname.
"Hey everyone look, its 'Dress Boy'." My sisters said. I felt like the biggest loser in school and honestly I wasn't wrong. Every time I would try to make friends, they would back away from "the loser". Lunch was even worse because I met the biggest assholes in the world.
"Well well well, if it isn't CHS's biggest loser." Two senior girls said as they approched me. One was wearing a cheerleader outfit while the other was wearing a black shirt, red skirt, plaid socks and cyan high heels.
"The name's Thunder, dumbass." I reply.
"At least we have friends. Also this lunchroom is only for real CHS students." She did have a point about me not having friends but I knew I belonged at CHS. But before I could reply, they pushed me out my seat and threw my lunch at me. I wasn't hungry anyway. For the remainder of lunch, I sat at the "senior" courtyard and let's just say I made maybe the biggest mistake a freshman could ever make.
"What do you think your doing here!" Someone says. As soon as I heard that, the whole girls basketball team crowded me.
Ah fuck... I thought. I was frozen in fear.
"KICK HIS ASS!" One girl shouted. I was punched and kicked everywhere and the thought that no one cared still haunted my mind. I just wanted to lay there and cry. I couldn't move until a senior dragged my ass all the way to the nurse. I could hear laughing everywhere.
"Are you okay sweetie?" Nurse Redheart asked. I shook my head.
The last words I remember hearing that day were "Goodnight, 'Dress Boy'." My sisters said this and closed the door laughing. I wanted my pain to just go away but that didn't happen until the next night.
Chapter 6: Sonata Dusk's Understanding
"ARE YOU HUNGRY, LITTLE THUNDER?" Sonata asked. I was going to say no but I couldn't lie to her considering how much they all cared for me now. Plus, I was still scared of my sisters. I run up to her ear to speak to her.
"Y-yes," I said, "very h-hungry."
"OKAY, I'LL GET YOU SOMETHING TO EAT." She says while walking towards the refreshments. Near the refreshments I saw the cheerleaders talking, so I ducked back down in her pony tail. Sonata must have felt my body trembling in fear because she asked, "ARE YOU OKAY?"
"I can't get noticed by Mary Chief. She is the leader of the cheerleaders and she bullies me. Her and Casey Crimson."
"OKAY, I'LL TRY MY BEST TO KEEP YOU UNNOTICED." Sonata said geting a bag of chips with a soda and going upstairs to her room. On the way back she encountered Mary Chief, which made me feel scared again.
"HI SONATA, WHERE ARE THE BATHROOMS?" Mary asked
"THEY'RE DOWN THAT WAY, FIFTH DOOR ON THE LEFT." Sonata answers while pointing to the direction of the bathroom.
"OKAY, THANKS." Mary said as she ran towards the bathroom.
Sonata finally arrived to her room. When she got there, she sat down and placed me gently in her lap. Sonata then opens the bag of chips and gives me some. "HERE YOU GO, LITTLE THUNDER." Sonata says while giving me a handful of chips. Wait, no handful isn't the right word to use. More like a mountain of chips considering how huge her hands were to me. I ate every last one and saw Sonata Dusk smile down at me. "YOU LOOK SO ADORABLE SITTING IN MY LAP." Sonata said. I felt safe with my sisters for once, even after what they did to me on my first day of school. Plus, I was small so her not hurting me really made me feel happy inside. I didn't want this moment to end. . .and in came Trixie.
I ran home super quick, glad to be big again. I was so overjoyed to return to normal that I ran inside. But what happened inside made me cry, a lot.
"Girls, I'm home." I said. "Girls?" I then saw them on the ground covered in dark blue webbing. Their bodies were drained to husks with the exception of Adagio's body. I had pure shock on my face. "HOLY SHIT! What happened here?"
"Mary came in just to say hi, then she covered us in this webbing. You need to leave because she set off a bomb to kill us." I started to tear up.
"But, no, there has to be a way." I cried.
"No, there is no other way. You need to out of here before the bomb goes off." Adagio said.
"I-I don't want to lose you." I said.
"You won't ever lose me, Thunder. I will always be there, like the sun in the day and the moon in the night." Adagio said.
"What about if it rains and I can't see the sun or the moon?" I asked.
"Then I will become a star in the sky, and I'll wait for your tears to dry. Please, you need to leave. We're both running out of time." She said. I nodded, gave her a hug, and ran out with tears in my eyes as the house exploded. I then went to Trixie's house to tell her the news.
"Trixie, aren't you a sight for sore eyes." I said.
"Thunder? Your back to normal again! Is that what you came to tell me?" Trixie said.
"Not exactly. Something terrible just happened to my sisters." I said.
"What happened?" Trixie asked.
"Mary Chief killed them." I answered. Trixie started to tear up.
"I'm sorry for your loss. What are going to do?" Trixie asked.
"First, I'm going to plan a funeral for my family and then, I'm going after Madison and I'm going to bring her to justice." I replied.
At the funeral, I only saw friends and no family. I don't think they had parents because they would have told me by now. Also, everyone cried, except me. I didn't cry once because I know she's going to a better place now. Also, I didn't cry because after seeing Princess Twilight Sparkle die, someone who I saw as a mother, I can't emotionally cry anymore. The only feeling I have from both losses is the fact that I couldn't save them, the first being I was powerless and the latter being I was too late. After the funeral was over, I went up to their tombstone and said, "Don't worry, I couldn't save you three, but I can stop others from causing tragedies like this. For starters, I'm going to bring Mary to justice." This tragedy is the main thing that drives me to be the hero I am today. I then ran away.
