Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe pony part:
Twilight left her friends alone with the computer and started to reorganize the library. Meanwhile Rainbow Dash moved to the computer, she took the stick and started typing: "-Hi! I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in Ponyville, who are you?"
"I'm Felix Mazzoni, but I can't claim any honorifics, so, I guess that you want to know what I work as."
"-You read in my mind! What do you work as?"
"-Well, actually I don't work, I'm still in school..."
"-And how got access to the internet and a computer, if you are still studying?
-I mean, if you are still studying, then you are like... 10 years old`. You couldn’t have paid for it and I doubt that your parents would allow you to use such things..."
"-It's because the school here lasts just a little bit longer than it does in your world. Also my parents know what I'm doing on the PC, otherwise, they would never allow me to own one."
"-Well, so it's all paid by your parents. But how can you keep studying ? Are there equivalents of unicorns in your dimension?"
"-No, they aren't, but I have to keep studying because school is compulsory for ten years instead of five. Also you can’t really get a good job without a proper education."
"-Well, pity you..."
"-Nah, it’s better than having to do manual labour at age sixteen.
-I mean, sure it builds character, but I'm not suited for that"
"-So you are a bookworm like Twilight? "
"-Well, basically yes. Maybe I'm more socially awkward than she is, but I am less order-obsessed. Actually I’m a rather messy person.
-Anyway, other questions?"
"-Yes: If I fell into your dimension still in pony form and assuming that everyone accepts me, where would I end up?
-Still in a Weather Division? I’m not exactly a smart pony, and I don’t read that much..."
"-No, you’d probably wind up with the military... or as a clown I don’t know. The weather doesn’t need any looking after around here so you would have to do something else."
"-Good to know! Anyway, it's the first time that I enjoyed chatting with an egghead, congratulations! Hey, could you show me another part of your Internet, I mean one of the parts with me in it."
After a short pause Felix posted a link
"-Here this links to a very good story with you as main character." The text in the chat said.
Rainbow Dash clicked on the link, and a new window appeared, showing a long text.
“Urgh, so much text. But if it has me in it, it must be worth it.” Rainbow Dash thought to herself.
At first she thought that Felix was making a joke when the story turned out to be about Pinkie Pie, but before long she appeared as well... Had Pinkie Pie just murdered her?
Rainbow Dash returned to the chat, only to find another link waiting for her. This one led to a video of a creature reading something on a computer screen, before it startled away from the screen with a sick look on his face.
"-Ahah, it was a prank, don't tell me that it wasn't your reaction! ;-)"
After a moment of confusion, Rainbow Dash laughed as well.
"-Well, good prank. Guess I deserve it for always being so self-centered. Anyway, I still want to see a "decent" story."
"-Here are the links to two sites, enjoy."
One hour later...
Felix took a look the watch, 19:30 p.m., it was time for dinner.
He wrote "-Well, that was an enjoyable experience, goodbye, if you wish to see me again, just be here at the 2:00 p.m. and will be here waiting for you."
He shut down his computer and went downstairs to see what there was for dinner. Unfortunately it was the usual omelette with macaroni. His mother however seemed to mistake his joy over meeting the mane six: "Wow, I never saw you so excited about dinner! What's up?"
"Nothing that you would understand..."
"Is it about school?"
"No, it's about other stuff..."
"What other stuff?"
"How about you shut up and let me eat?",
He quickly finished his meal before storming of.
That night he dreamt about ponies. He talked with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and watched their reactions to the thing he told him. And he dreamt of a lot of other things, but come the morning he didn’t remember any of them.
