Author's Note

As the name implies, this is NOT a new chapter! I just wanted to try something new and tell what Dash did while Marcus was off to work in the last chapter..

Coming to Terms: Dash's Perspective

I cracked open my tired eyes and heard the birds outside moving and chirping. I soon realize I am in a place I don’t know, I seem to be in some bags covered in them, I quickly riggle around and get up from the pile and look around to find myself in that one dude’s bedroom. So it wasn’t a dream, well that soda and burger thing was too good to be a dream. What was his name again? Marc or something like that?

Anyway, I then went to the kitchen and saw no one there. I was confused before I saw a note on the table. Once I got close to it I could see the message.

I went to work and I will be gone for a few hours. Don’t break anything or cause trouble!

I then took the note and threw it to the side and went to the fridge. I then got another one of those good sodas that I had.

“So, alone time for Dash then? This is going to be a long ‘few’ hours.” I sigh and go back on the couch and lay across it. I sigh in relief, these humans can make some comfy things, but not as comfy as the amazing clouds of course.

I then freeze, there are clouds in this world, I wonder if I can lay on them, I look at the door wondering. Is what he said true? Will they really freak out if I go out there? I mean I don’t want to be alone in this small place until my friends get me…Wait, why haven’t they gotten to me at this point? Eh, don’t care about that.

A black shape then appears in my vision and I pick it up and see a bunch of buttons, what is this? I then see a big button at the top and I push down on the mushy button and with a flash of a red light the big black box in front of me starts showing videos and making noises.

“Ah! Shh, quiet!” I say to it frantically not knowing what to do. What is this? I thought he said magic didn’t exist in this world! I quickly began pressing random buttons until one of them stopped the noise but kept the videos playing. Phew, I lay back down on the couch while my heart still was beating fast.

After a while of figuring out the weird black magic box and the magic black shape, I then turned the volume down and got to a channel that was called ‘nase car’ or something. I don’t know how these words are spelt, but it was very cool with cars racing each other at high speeds!

“Come on, blue one! You can do it! Just a little more!” Around the track, past the pit, over the ramp, across the dirt, and soaring into the finish line!

“YYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSS!!!! YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!”

“HEY NEIGHBOR! QUIET THE FUCK DOWN!”

“Oh YOUR one to talk! You make noises every night!”

“Don’t even get me started on you! You just leave everything outside you crazy bi-!”

I stop my talking and muted the box again and listen to the argument, while also covering my ears. Sweet Celestia! How many curses do these humans know? I then hear someone loudly walking past my room, I quickly hide behind a couch but then go back up after hearing them go past me and into the other room.

“YOU TWO! STOP BEING YOUR USUAL SELF FOR ONCE OR YOU WILL BE EVICTED YOU HEAR ME!?”

With that, they all went silent as they walked back away from the noise that is now quiet enough to hear a pin drop. Okay…. What do I do now?

I then slowly unmute the big boxand keep watching while not being too loud as the blue racer is interviewed. I then lay down and close my eyes, Either wait all this time or pass it by napping.

But before I could go to sleep I felt my stomach demand some food, and that’s where I realized something, Oh no, I don’t know what things are here and I don’t know how to cook! I quickly fly over to the fridge and see mainly frozen stuff. Crap! I then look through the many cabinets and find a bag of chips in one of them, my eyes lit up faster than I thought.

“Jackpot!” I whispered as I went back on the couch and watched the box while eating the chips and checking more of the different videos on this thing.

After a few episodes of watching this ‘Dise knee’ I finished the bag of chips and placed it into the trash bag and holded my full stomach. Crap, I ate way more than needed. I then heard someone getting closer so I turned off the box and hid behind the couch, then I heard the door knob creek, OH FU-

I quickly get a glance and stop and see…him again…. Huh, those hours went by fast!
