What If: My Second Life

Chapter 4: The Twist

Author's Note: Holy flying crap you guys are AWESOME! I seriously mean it! I feel like I need to do more than write. I should open up my Skype account or something. I really like interaction with fans, I know the feeling from doing Youtube for about two years. I'll have to put it in my bio, but oh my God you guys are awesome with your feedback! I'm sorry for lack of detail and a short chapter yesterday, This hopefully will make up for it.

I woke up gasping for air this morning, not good. I looked around for my pants and found them, pulling them over and getting my inhaler out. I shook it and put the nozzle to my mouth to get the medication. I closed my eyes and breathed in, giving myself another puff for good measure. Pulling the inhaler away, I had to talk to myself. “*sigh* Why am I like this?”

As I was in this funk, I started to see bed sheets and I was not on a cold hard ground. I turned and went wide eyed at the sight. VINYL WAS SLEEPING RIGHT NEXT TO ME.

I started to freak out and try to recollect my thoughts of last night. Jogging, mixing, meeting Vinyl, had to go to work, found me walking back and asked to get some dri- Oh fuck me... Did we get drunk?!

Vinyl was already awake and sitting up. “J-Jace? Are you alright?” She asked me in a soothing voice. It really helped me in the middle of me FREAKING THE FUCK OUT.

I managed a nod and looked around the room. I looked at her and she could see the distress on my face. “Jace...Y-Your scaring me...What's with the look?” She asked, seriously worried about me. (DAMMIT. Why the hell did I make Vinyl Scratch SCARED?)

“I'm fine..” I said in a groggy voice. She moved over to me and wrapped her arms around me in a hug. I had to go wide eyed and look at her with a shocked look.

“What? I did this last night and you didn't mind!” She said with a giggle. What happened next made the brony in me very happy. She kissed me on the cheek.

I had to stop for a bit and think. I guess Vinyl saw me doing this and got worried. “W-What are you thinking about Jace?” She tilted her head with a pout.

“I-I'm trying to remember last night.. But.. I can't!” I put my face in my hands and sighed, rubbing my temples. “I have a really bad headache and no recollection of last night..” I turned to Vinyl. “Did we get drunk last night?”

Scratch moved away and looked down, twiddling her hooves and blushed crimson. “Y-Yeah.. But you were just nervous about meeting me and all..And being new here.. You just drank without thinking! I should have stopped you, I'm terrible!”

Now it was my turn to hug her. I pulled her in close and wrapped her in my arms, putting her head on my chest. I could feel the wetness of tears on my skin as she cried into me. I sat here and stroked her mane (being careful of the horn) and then gave her a peck on the forehead. I guess this shocked her and made her look up at me. “Hey.. It's not your fault.. It's mine. I have to know though.. Did we uhh...Do..Anything else..Last night?”

Vinyl blushed but shook her head, looking down. “I took you to my home and put you to bed. You were drunk and I didn't want you going home intoxicated...”

At that time, I was so happy, that I lifted her head and planted a kiss on her lips. She went wide eyed for a little, then started to enjoy it.

After a while of doing this, we pulled away from each other, smiles on our faces. She was blushing like mad, but still happy.

“I thought I was gonna be the one to do that first.”

“Well, I beat you to it.”

Vinyl wrapped her arms (arms or legs? I dunno QUADROPEDS. FFFF) around my neck and we spent the next five minutes or so kissing, when I noticed the time. “Oh BUCK! I'm late for work!” Vinyl gave me another quick kiss and giggled.

“Have a good day Jacey~” Jacey? Already nicknames.. And I'm already kissing a pony?! Am I really that attractive to the pony folk? I have no clue.

(Sorry about doing romance so fast, I just couldn't help myself.)

Coal paced back and fourth in the middle of the apple orchard, waiting for Jace to show up. “Now, what in the hay are ya' doin' Coal? Be patient boy!”

“*sigh* I'm sorry AJ.. It's just that.. Jace is NEVER late! It's not like him..” There was then the sound of running getting louder and louder as Jace hopped over a fence and slid under a wagon of apples. He kept up the running after getting to where Coal was by jumping and grabbing a apple branch, using the momentum to swing himself up on the branch. He turned to them and smiled. “Sup?”

Coal was gaping. “Jace! That was...AWESOME.” I had to smile at Coal's compliment.

Applejack was wide eyed from that. “Well, that's some mighty fancy runnin' there Jace!” She smiled at him and then bucked the tree, making Jace loose his balance and fall out.

He landed on his butt and winced a bit. “That..Hurt..” He said, getting up and pushing his back forward, giving it a nice CRACK. It made Applejack wince a bit but it helped Jace get over the pain. He jumped around a bit and cracked his neck, getting loosened up. “Alright.. Let's buck some trees!”

Coal was not happy. “Where in Equestria were you Jace?! I've been standing here for thirty minutes waiting for you!”

“Long story.. Let's work!” He ran off into the orchard and the thuds of hitting apple trees could be heard.

“Hard workin' friend ya got there Coal!” AJ smiled at him.

Coal nodded. “He can be a serious pain sometimes though..” He shook his head and went to bucking.

* * * *

Not thirty minutes later, a yelp could be heard coming from Applejack. The boys ran over to see what happened. She was holding onto her back leg. “Oh my god! AJ are you alright?” Coal was panicking.

“Ah'm alright boys...Ah just kicked a tree wrong and messed up my leg ah bit. It rarely ever happens, but it does hurt..”

“Let me try something!” Coal offered, getting on his knees and started to rub on Applejack's leg a bit. She was embarrassed and looked away from him, turning red. He could feel where the muscles had contracted from the strain. “Is this helping any AJ?”

At this point, she was moaning. (hawt) “Yeah it is Coal....Please don't stop.” (Lucky bastard..)

A few minutes later, Coal was pushed out of the way as Applejack said, “What in tar nation is that?!”

Big Macintosh had made contact with Jace's body, as the wind being knocked outta him was audible. He flew a good ways away and then rolled for a bit before stopping, and looking dead. “Oh no! JACE!” Coal got up and ran over to him, kneeling down beside him as he tried to wake him up, but it looked...He wasn't breathing.

Author's Note: Yeah, you all thought that the twist was going to be Jinyl (Jace x Vinyl) but NOPE! I wanted this to happen a long time ago, and now I'm glad to have finally wrote it out! It makes me wonder what kind of feedback I'll get! This will be a once a week thing from me, maybe twice if I'm in a good mood. It will probably be ever Saturday since there is not a lot of difficult things to handle when writing. Anyway, see ya'll next week!
