What If: My Second Life

CHAPTER 25: A Good Day

"Oh there are soo many orders!" Rarity was running herself ragged trying to catch up on all the work she has missed. "Oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear..."

"Is there anything I can do to help sis?" Sweetie Belle was sitting to the side watching Rarity running back and forth levitating fabrics and tools back and forth with her.

"No no Sweetie Belle! I'm afraid I don't have anything you can help me with!"

"Awwww, but I really want to help!"

"Now Sweetie Belle, please just go find something to do! I really need to concentrate!"

"But you said you wanted me to come home right away today! I gave up meeting Coal in the hospital for this!"

"I'm sorry Sweetie Belle, but I didn't know about these orders until a moment ago!"

"Fine..." Sweetie Belle trotted out of the Boutique and was about to look for Applebloom or Scootaloo; when she realized that there was a shadow cast over her. "Huh?" she turns her head to see Coal. "EEEEP!" Sweetie Belle jumps back and lands on her back. She stares at Coal with big almost watery eyes.

"Whoa there sweetheart! You must be Sweetie Belle. Now don't be scared. My name is Coal...maybe Applebloom or Scootaloo told you about me?"

Sweetie Belle picked herself off the ground and stared at Coal. "You're Coal!? I had no idea you would be...so tall..."

"Hahaha! I know I'm funny looking, but don't worry I'm completely harmless."

"Harmless unless you try and hurt one of your friends..."

"Oh...you know about that, huh?" Sweetie Belle nods her head. "You don't find me scary because of that...do you? Because you don't need to! I would never hurt you or Rarity or any other good pony!"

"I know...so umm...what are you doing Coal?"

"Ahh well...I was hoping I could talk with Rarity for a bit. I wanted to make sure she was doing alright after the incident."

"She's fine...she is real busy trying to make up for lost time with her orders. She wouldn't let me help any though..." Sweetie Belle rubbed the ground with her hoof a bit, she was looking pretty depressed.

"I see...well I better not bother her. Hmmm...do you want to join me in searching for Scootaloo then? The three of us could play together or something..."

"REALLY!?" Sweetie Belle jumped up with a hopeful expression on her face. "No adult is ever willing to play with us!"

"Heheh, they are probably just really busy. I got the afternoon off and have nothing else to do. So yeah, really!" Coal kneels down and puts his back to Sweetie Belle. "Hop on! Let's go search for Scootaloo!"

"Yaaaaaay!" She jumps onto Coal's back giggling. She gives him a big smile and then sticks her hoof out in front of them.

"Onward!"

"Hahahah! You got it Sweetie Belle! Now hold on tight!" Coal starts out slow until Sweetie Belle started yelling 'faster'. He slowly started to pick up speed. The air was starting to sting Sweetie Belle's face they were going so quickly.

"I think the potion Zecora gave me to heal me up also must have given me some kind of boost to energy!" Coal yelled over the wind. "I normally can't run this fast!"

"I hope it isn't temporary! This is really fun!"

Coal with Sweetie Belle on his back made their way through Ponyville in search of their friend. Their first stop was to check with Coco to see if Scootaloo had already gone up to her room. Coco told them no and they went back to their search. Coal decided to run back towards Sweet Apple Acres, and maybe pick up Applebloom for this adventure of theirs. When they arrive, they found Applebloom just now heading down the road.

"Hey Applebloom! Sweetie Belle and I are looking for Scootaloo, so that we can play a bit! Do you want to join us!?"

Applebloom gasped "Do Ah!?" she ran up to Coal and jumped onto his back right next to Sweetie Belle.

"Augh! You're a healthy girl Applebloom! Now where do you think she would be?"

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle hmm'd in contemplation. "Ah know! Maybe we should try the clubhouse!"

"Yeah! That is a good idea Applebloom!"

"To the clubhouse it is! Point the way girls!"

At the same time Sweetie Belle and Applebloom started telling Coal where to go, they didn't know it; but they left a chuckling Big Mac and Applejack in their wake.

After about twenty minutes they burst through some brush arriving at the clubhouse. Coal was starting to lose his breath and decided now is as good a time as any to take a little breather. Thankfully they saw Scootaloo's scooter right outside the clubhouse.

"Hey Scootaloo!" Applebloom hollered "Come on out and let's play!"

"Yeah! I think you'll find we're gonna have a lot of fun today!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed with a squeak in her voice.

Scootaloo popped her head out of the window and gasped when she saw Coal. She came running down the ramp and jumped straight into Coal's arms!

"Hey Coal! What are you doing here?"

"I ran into Sweetie Belle outside of Rarity's. Rarity is really busy right now, so we decided we would play together! We picked up Applebloom and then headed down here!"

"Yeah! We never get to play with adults!"

"Hahaha! That is what Sweetie Belle said too!"

Coal and the CMC spent the next several hours playing tag (which Coal was failing miserably at), hide and seek (even more miserably), and even took a dip in the lake (which Coal passed on, he played the part of life guard). It was nearly nine now and was time to take the little ones home. They were reluctant at first, but as soon as Coal scooped them up; the heat from his body started putting them to sleep.

Coal made his way back to the farm first and tucked in Applebloom. Big Mac and Applejack just giggled when Coal came in silently dropping off their sleeping little sister. The next stop was at Rarity's. Coal snuck in and placed Sweetie Belle in her bed. He would stop by after dropping off Scootaloo to finally talk with Rarity. After arriving at the inn he was greeted by Coco who smiled knowingly at the sleeping filly in Coal's arms.

He promptly tucked in Scootaloo; kissing her good night. She let out a small yawn before getting more comfortable in her bed. Coal stopped at the front desk to let Coco know that he would have her money for her tomorrow. They said their goodbyes and Coal made his way back to the Boutique. (Yes, this is copied from Coal's story to give it some backbone.)

* * * *

"What a great day! I got to kiss Dashie, I got healed, and I got to meet the princess! And then got to spend the rest of the day playing with the cutest little fillies in the world! I hope Rarity won't be too tired to talk..." Coal has a nasty habit of thinking of depressing shit when he's really happy. I know...pretty stupid right?

“Hmmm, I wonder what Jace is up too. I'll go to the mansion after I get done talking with Rarity.”

Coal gave a gentle knock on the front door (why he didn't do that when he brought Sweetie Belle home I have no idea). There was no response, but the door slowly swung open. Coal was instantly worried that creep was back or something. He quickly, but quietly; went up to Rarity's work room.

She was still working, but slowing down immensely. I'll be honest...she looked like crap. Her mane was tangled and had lost its shimmer. Her eyes had big bags under them and even her coat looked a little duller. She was yawning every few seconds, but just wouldn't stop.

"Rarity..."

"Eeep! Oh...oh Coal darling! You scared me!"

"I'm sorry Rarity. The front door was open, so I let myself in."

"Don't worry about it darling. I want to thank you for spending the day with Sweetie Belle. It was a big help."

"Oh you knew about that? Hehe! It was my pleasure! She is such a dear."

"That she is, but she can be such a hoof-full!"

"How are you doing Rarity?"

"What? I'm fine Coal...why do you ask?"

"I was worried about you is all. I wasn't sure how you were holding up after the incident."

"Oh...well...I think I'm fine darling. I'm not worried about that colt if that is what you're thinking. I'm just so tired and stressed! I can hardly think straight anymore!"

"Rarity.."

"Yes Coal?"

"Get on your bed."

"Wha...what!?"

"Go lay down on your bed Rarity. I'll be there in a minute."

"C-Coal?"

"Please."

"O-o-okay..."

* * * *

*Yawn!* Oh man! What a good sleep! That was one of the best night sleeps I've ever had! Mmm, I really need to do some things in the dream realm. I have to give it a name at some point as well, I can't keep it Dream Realm forever! Maybe...Jaston or something...I dunno.

Wait, where's Vinyl? She was with me in the dream...Meh, probably went to go get something to eat. That reminds me, I need to get something to eat. Hmm, and I'm feeling tea. I might stop by the cafe and check up on my number one fan.

Well, I'm still naked. UGH, and I smell! I'll take a shower first, then probably go see Rarity about some new clothes. I hope she's not too busy right now.

*BEEP BEEP* “AHH. The fuck was that?!” I looked around frantically to find the source of the sound coming from my pants that are on the ground. I picked up the crumpled jeans and dug through the pockets, grabbing my I-Pod and hitting the power button. “Damn! This thing last that long on a single charge? Well, shit, now it's dying. How in the fuck am I going to char- Wait. Magic is like electricity...Maybe that will work!” I smiled at my cleverness and looked around the room. “Whoa! Blur-ville bro! Shit, I don't have my glasses from Earth.”

This is why I am researching that dimension spell! All I read about is how to use something like a mirror or something to have communication to a world of the caster's choice. To bad my body doesn't hold that much magic in the realm to actually do the spell myself. I would totally cast it if I could. Well, I know from what I've seen in the show that Rarity has reading glasses, so I should ask her were to get some of my own.

Huh, I wonder how my I-Pod got in my pocket in the first place. Last time I saw it, Vinyl put it on the booth to play music while we had sex...I guess she put it back in my pocket afterwords. I love that mare so much, she has given me so much joy in a short amount of time. That's a feat that not many people could do. The only two would have been my mother and father, but they have long since passed away.

I gotta take a shower first though. Who knows, maybe Vinyl will join me! Pfft, yeah right. That's a long ways away from now. We just had sex, and I don't think she would want more right now. Well, here's hoping. I'm still sore from last night! That mare really knows how to pound. I hope I don't fall when I get up.

“AHHH.” THUD. Fuck.
