Conker's Bad Mane Day
Chapter 1: Hungover
Previous ChapterThose who read the first two chapters before they were combined into one, yes there is more at the end. (and it's been a few years, reread it.)
"Uh,..." Conker awoke with a terrible hangover. His head vibrated with the thump thump of his heart beats. "It's gonna be one of those days."
He looked around to get a feel of his mysterious surroundings. There was a fence to his right, just about as tall as he was, nothing he could do with that; A giant mountain side blocked his path behind; And he was surrounded by water, and he didn't trust himself to swim with a hangover like THIS. Looked like his only path was forward.
He decided to wander around, hoping his headache would ease with movement. His footstep strayed behind him in the gooey with each painful step, each one feeling like the weight of barbells until he found himself on the other side of fenced-in field where there was an opening. Passing through, he found a scarecr...a dark pink lob of hair lying on the ground.
"What are you?" Conker asked the lob, his head still throbbing. "Aren't you supposed to be Birdy?"
"Who? Me?" The lob lifted off the ground reveling a pink shaded horse. "I'm Pinkie Pie!"
"Binky? But your a horse."
"No, Silly! Pinkie, as in, my color!"
"Oh, never mind, listen can you help me? I need to get home and go to bed cause I don't feel very well at all."
"Home?" The pony was surprisingly chipper despite the situation. "No, silly!"
"Oh. So you can't help me at all."
"Sure I can! Come over here and I'll explain b-pads"
"Um...okay...what's your name? Wait, no we went over this." He pulled a pile of stapled papers out of his pocket. "We're breaking the script, didn't you get one?"
"I don't need a script! Just come over on the b- pad."
Conker skimmed the script, or at least attempted to. He couldn't see right with his blurred vision, so he just threw the script over his shoulder. "Alright, b-pads. We'll pick up there." He waddled over to the b-pad.
"Okey-dokie! These pads are context sensitive. Press 'B'."
"Press 'B'?"
"Yup! The light come on, makes this really fun noise, ting, and you press 'B'." A light-bulb appeared over Conker, creating the same ting noise Pinkie had demonstrated. "There ya go! ting"
"That's it?"
"Yep!"
"Okay, I'll press 'B'."
Conker pulls out a large cup filled with chocolate milk.
"Oo! That's mine!" Pinkie grabs the glass and sticks her face in it. 3 seconds later, her face emerges from the glass with chocolate smeared across her mouth. "Oh, ya! That's the stuff!"
"What does that mean?"
"It MEANS context sensitive! It's sensitive to context! Try that one over there." She magically opened the gate. "Or, you could try it again! Pretty please!"
Rolling his eyes, he pulled out a can of helium. The mare (At least, he assumed it was a mare. He didn't see a dick.) immediately started chugging it. "Really nice helium." She said, her voice much higher pitched.
In one last attempt to get rid of her, he pulled out a pail, that's right, a pail filled to the top with chocolate milk.
Pinkie's eyes widened and her mouth started to water. She desperately grabbed the pail and stuck her face in it, slurping away on her jackpot.
He left her to slurp as he slugged over to the b-pad on the other side of the newly opened gate. He pulled out an alka seltzer tablet and mixed it with a glass of water. He quickly chugged the mixture, knowing the migraine relief that came with it. His headache was was gone in an instant, with his vision perfectly clear.
"Wow. Just what I needed. In fact, it would seem to me that these give me just what I need at that moment in time. Ooh! I see what he means. Context sensitive. Clever! Hmm, and I feel loads better! Right. Let's get out of here. Oh, and by the way. If for whatever reason you want to skip all these wonderful cutscenes, then just press the L button. But, you will have to have watched them at least once." He explained, as if this were a video game, and not a fimfiction.
"Hey! You, squirrel! I didn't catch your name."
Say a cool name, like Nitro, Dax, or Steel "My name, is Conker. Uhh, (groan)."
"Conker, huh?" She glared at him. Within seconds, her face suddenly lit up into a big, hearty smile, "Okey-dokey then! Where to next?"
"Oh, no. Your following me around?" he asked, rhetorically. "Fine, it's not that bad, I guess. Maybe you know how I'm supposed to get home."
Oh. I can't seem to get any further. I'm sure there was something....ah yes. Now I remember! Hold down Z and I should crou...
"What are you doing, standing around? It's just a hop skip and a jump!" She then proceeded to break into song (Ctrl+Click) as she jump back and forth between the platform Conker was on and the next jump, a log jutting from the cliff face. By the time the song was over, Conker was already across and examining the large wooden door.
"Now, what do I do here," He reached into his back pocket to find it empty. He started patting all his pockets, to find they were all empty. "Where's my script?!"
Pinkie, who by this time had caught up and standing next to him, giggled, "You left it back there in the mud, remember, silly squirrel?"
"Call me that again and I'll beat you arse into the final boss fight."
Pinkie zipped her lips shut, locked it, and walked over to the.... Conker was already by the bridge by now examining the scene before him. Pinkie rushed ahead to catch up. "What're you looking at?" she said climbing the pathway up to Conker. She then stood there slack-jawed, staring the the scene before her too.
"Twilight?"
A purple pony wearing glasses, obviously named Twilight, was leaning over top a psychiatrist's chair. Lying in the chair was a humongous gargoyle covering the width of the bridge, blocking any possible crossings.
Twilight turned around levitated her glasses off her face. The world went slow-motion as she flicked her hair up into the air, landing in her usual style. Conker stared at the hot mare. He knew he'd found love. She looked in his direction, and even talked towards him with the sexiest voice he'd ever heard, "Hey, Pinkie, whose your friend?"
Conker fainted, lovestruck.
"I don't know what happened! First he was up, then he fell over, and now he's not talking anymore, and-"
"It's okay Pinkie, I'm not mad at you," There was that sexy voice again. "What was his name again?"
"My name's Conker, what's yours?"
Twilight stared at him. "Uh, um, sorry. My name's Twilight." She tried clearing the awkwardness. "What brings you here?"
"I woke up hungover right over there." He pointed at the island at the start. "I just want to get home and sleep with you."
Twilight, having never had an admirer of any sort, had absolutely no idea how to respond to that. So she just stood there, blushing. The situation was getting awkward.
"Ooo! Who's that!" Leave it to Pinkie to break the awkwardness.
"That," Twi cleared her throat. "That is Goliath. He was leader of the Man-hat-in Clan."
"Manhattan? Don't you mean Manehattan?"
"No, he was very picky about that." He seems to be sleeping now though, but I can't get around him."
"I don't want to get around you, this view is amazing."
Twilight sigh, "Why don't you just go find us a way through, okay?"
"As you wish." He bowed in the same way Spike does for Rarity. Twilight shivered as he rushed off down the hill.
"Could we maybe build around him?" Twilight was brainstorming. The incessant squirrel could return any second.
"This isn't Minecraft, Twi."
"Mine-what?"
"I return, my love!" The grating sound of his voice buzzed inside Twilight's ear.
She sighed, "What did you find?"
"Just a shitty frying pan, but it should work." Twilight flinched at the cursings. His vocabulary was miniscule at best, but yet the only words in his lexicon seemed to be vulgar.
"First, stop with your repulsive jargon. It's revolting temperament is breaking me to the point of vomiting my lunch." She paused, waiting for a response.
Conker stood there staring at her for the next ten seconds. He finally replied, "You sure are pretty when you ramble."
Twilight face-hoofed. She hadn't gotten to use such marvelous vocabulary since accepting that television contract about her life, and now she can't even convey her message correctly. "Ok, let me tone it down," she'd gotten use to that, "Stop swearing."
"Oh, ok, my love." he mumbled something under his breath Twilight didn't hear, nor cared to.
She glanced at Goliath, "So how is that supposed to help us?"
Conker walked over and swatted him with the frying pan, arousing him from his sleep. Twilight's ears fell as he got up out of his chair and leaned down towards Conker.
"You think that will get me off of this bridge?" he started laughing, leaning back as he did. Conker waved him good-bye as he fell off the bridge into a shallow lake of water below.
Pinkie looked over the edge after him. "Woah!" she gasped, "What happened?"
"He stepped wrong and-"
"Ya think he's hurt?"
Conker stared in disbelief at Pinkie for easily over 15 minutes, which was easy to do, because her eyes were fixed on the gargoyle lying unconscious in the pool of water below. They probably would have gone on for longer, had not Twilight been absolutely frustrated by the boulder blocking the seemingly linear path.
One frustrated "hmph" snapped Conker and Pinkie's attention to her. She had already gone around and checked all the other holes and passages, to no avail. She waved a hoof, signalling them to her.
"I don't know if you two noticed," Twilight explained, "but the crash from Goliath hitting 'rock bottom' blocked the path." She awaited their reaction to her clever pun. Pinkie rolled her eyes, and Conker stared at her flank. She didn't bother to cover herself, what would be the point?
"So what now?" Pinkie asked.
"The closest thing to a solution I could find is that pad over there with a cryptic letter 'B' on the face," she motioned towards it. "I can't come up with what that's supposed to be for, but I assumed—Conker!" She stomped her hoof as she noticed Conker's hand reaching lower. "If you could figure something out, that would be great!"
Conker snapped to attention. He quickly looked around and, without a word, parkoured to the platform. ting!
Pulling out a push lever labeled "T.N.T", he motioned the mares away from the rock. "Plunger, with dynamite. I think I know what's going to happen now." He gives it a firm push and the entire boulder shredded to pebbles flies everywhere. "Woah, yep. Fantastic!" he motions at the mares to follow him through the new doorway. "Let's go and get some shuteye, finally!"
