My Little Gohan Book 1
Chapter 2: Introductions
(Dream-scape)
"Gohan run!" Yelled Twilight as several dark figures chased after them. The environment around them was filled with smoldering ruins of the once proud capital of Equestria.
Both of the scared ponies refused to look behind them out of fear of slowing themselves down.
"Gohan we have to keep mov..." Twilight was cut short as her front hoof tripped over a rock sending her crashing to the ground.
"Twilight!" Gohan shouted quickly turning back to save his friend from being turned to dust. Noticing that the figures had almost reached them Gohan quickly stood in front of the injured pony as if to provide a human shield "I won't let you harm her!".
The figures laughed manically as they stood in front of the two before speaking in unison "Harm you? We need the two of you alive.".
Without another word they each raised their hands as a black sphere covered their prey. Gohan world grew dark as his head slammed into the ground. The last thing Gohan could hear was Twilight's voice calling his name over and over.
"Gohan...Gohan...GOHAN WAKE UP!".
(End Dream-scape)
With a loud gasped Gohan eyes shot open as he rolled off the couch, landing face first on the floor. Letting out a loud groan he opened his eyes to see a concerned Twilight Sparkle, and a laughing Spike staring at him.
"Did you enjoy you wake up call Gohan?" Spike giggled as Twilight rolled his eyes before helping Gohan off the ground.
"Sorry about surprising you like that, but it looked like you were having some kind of nightmare." She said with worried eyes.
Shaking himself off Gohan threw his hoof behind his head with a small grin "Don't worry about it, just a really weird dream I was having.".
Twilight wasn't impressed with his answer but decided to let the issue slide "Well now that your up we can get ready to leave for Ponyville.".
Gohan was confused "Don't you have to pack before we can go anywhere?".
"I didn't get much sleep last night so I spent most of the time getting all of my stuff ready so we could leave as quickly as possible." She said motioning to a large bag that Spike was pulling across the room.
"I wish we could pack a little lighter, this thing is killing me!" Spike said as he gasped for breath.
Twilight gave him a stern glare as she said "If I'm going to be stuck in an unfamiliar town then I'm going to need my books to keep up with my studies.".
"But we are going to be staying in a library, I'm sure it's gonna have plenty of books that can keep you company." Spike groaned still pulling the bag along with him.
"Most of the books in this bag were given to me by the Princess are hundreds of years old! Not just any library will have them." Twilight said tossing yet another book in the bag.
Gohan laughed as the two continued to argue back and forth over the importance of the books. Finally about an hour later the three were ready to leave the house.
"So how far is this Ponyville place Twilight?" Gohan asked curious about their temporary new home.
Twilight thought about it for a few moments before answering "If I remember correctly it is about a three hour trip there. That's why the Princess was kind enough to lend us one of her chariots so we wouldn't have to travel there by hoof.".
The three made their way towards the middle of the city until Twilight spotted some royal guards holding a sign with her name on it.
"Looks like this is our ride!" Twilight said as the guards assisted her in the chariot.
Gohan and Spike hopped in behind her and watched as the two guards had trouble moving Twilight's heavy belongings.
Soon they were on their way as the two Pegasus guards took off into the sky, and off towards Ponyville.
For the first hour of the trip Twilight and Spike watched in amusement as Gohan leaned over the side of the chariot amazed at seeing the land from so high up.
"So Gohan...do you remember anything about who you were before the amnesia?" Twilight asked hopeful that there was some improvement.
Without turning his head Gohan answered "Nothing other than my name. It's like a brick wall pops up inside my brain when I try to think of something and stops me from remembering.".
Twilight hung her head in disappointment feeling worse about his predicament.
Finally turning his head Gohan could see the sad look on her face and placed a hoof on her shoulder "Don't worry about it so much, I'm sure it will all come back to me sometime. In fact I should thank for letting me go with you until it comes back.".
Twilight blushed seeing how close he was to her "I couldn't just leave you there I mean it was my fault you're like this. As a student of Princess Celestia it's my responsibility to help those in need.".
Spike made a sick face seeing how affectionate the two were getting with each other "Alright you two get a room!".
At the baby dragon's remark both Gohan, and Twilight turned away from each other, their faces equally red.
The next couple of hours were passed in silence as Gohan returned his gaze back to the passing area around him, while Twilight read one of her books, and Spike slept.
Finally Ponyville finally came into view as they started to land. Looking around they noticed how peaceful things were out here compared to Canterlot.
As Spike pulled their belongings out of the chariot Twilight turned to address the two guards "Thank you very much kind sirs.".
The guards nodded as they once again took off into the sky leaving the three on their own.
"Well you two, I say we get settled in at the library, and then grab us a bite to eat!" Gohan said feeling his stomach gurgle in agreement.
Twilight nodded and motioned for Spike to follow.
The second Gohan turned around a pink blur collided with him at high speed knocking them both to the ground.
Gohan groaned as the wind was knocked out of him and stars filled his vision. Looking down Twilight noticed what appeared to be a pink mare with a fuzzy mane.
"Ouchies! Did I run into a brick wall?" The mare said in a dazed voice.
Picking himself up Gohan gave himself a small shake as he looked down "Um...Are you okay Miss?".
The Pink mare was silent for a few moments before she gasped loudly and quickly ran down the street away from them.
"Well what was that about?" Spiked asked as Twilight gave a shrug and continued her trek to the library.
After a few minutes of walking the three finally made it to their destination as Twilight quickly flung the door open and entered her new home.
"Wow this is a cozy little place." Spike said as he dropped Twilight's belongings into a corner of the room.
Twilight wrinkled her nose as she let out a sigh "It's an okay lodging, but I would much rather be back in Canterlot just in case something goes wrong.".
Spike shook his head at her as Gohan began exploring the library.
Staring at the multitude of books that filled the shelf Gohan's face scrunched up and he raised a hoof to his head.
"Gohan what's wrong!?" Twilight said as she ran to his side.
Quickly brushing her off Gohan spoke in a pained voice as his vision turned white "I think I'm remembering something!".
Twilight eyed him worriedly as he slowly collapsed to the ground.
(Dream-Scape)
Gohan looked around at the unfamiliar location he found him self in. He noticed that instead of being in the library with Twilight, and Spike, he was now in a strange room that was filled with stacks of books.
"Where am I?" He asked himself before hearing a familiar sounding female's voice.
"Gohan have you finished your studies yet?" The voice called out from what he guessed was another room.
He was about to ask how the voice knew his names but before he could even utter a word a different voice rang out from his right "Yeah mom, I just finished the last two pages!".
Quickly looking to where the new voice came from he realized that a strange two legged creature was seated at a large table surrounded by books.
He couldn't make out it's face but he did noticed that it's hair, and the color of it's clothes matched his mane and coat perfectly.
Just as quickly as he made the comparison he was jolted back into reality by a bucket of water being poured on him.
(End Dream-scape)
Gohan gagged and coughed as water filled his mouth and nose. Looking up he could see Spike holding the bucket, while Twilight just stared with a worried look on her face.
"Gohan what in Celestia's name happened!?" She asked still unsure of what to do.
Trying to regain his senses Gohan could only shrug "I was in this weird room with a lot of books in it. I heard a voice that sounded familiar calling my name, but when I tried answering it a strange two-legged creature beat me to it. It was weird because it had my name, and it's hair was styled like my mane and the color of it's clothes matched my coat. The only difference was it had tanned skin instead of fur.".
Twilight was using her magic to write down everything he was saying onto one of her scrolls. She remembered that Celestia had asked her to write down anything that could be used to help her friend.
"That's great Gohan, is there anything else you can tell me!?" She asked excited that they finally had somewhat of a lead to go on.
Gohan closed his eyes and concentrated, hoping to think of anything else that could have stood out in the strange room he was in. His thoughts were interrupted however by a loud rumbling that filled the library.
"What was that!?" Spike asked cowering under a table.
"Sorry that was my stomach, I haven't eaten since I popped up at Twilight's place." Gohan apologized as he sat on the ground.
Twilight let out a hushed giggle as she watched his antics. She knew it was wrong to laugh at his predicament but she found it was cute how embarrassed he had become "Alright how about we go grab a bite to eat, and then we try to get you to remember some more?".
Quickly nodding Gohan jumped up and headed out the door with Twilight as Spike was left alone in the library.
"What I don't get to go along?" The baby dragon muttered to himself as he began to unload Twilight's things.
(Ponyville streets)
Gohan followed Twilight as she moved down the street wondering what kind of food they would be able to find.
"So Twilight, where are supposed to get a bite to eat at?" He asked her as she gave him a small smile.
"Well before we left Canterlot Princess Celestia gave me a list of places that would be important for us to know. If I can recall a place called Sugarcube corner was supposed to have the best sweets this side of Equestria." Twilight finished looking left and right trying to find the location.
Seeing a mare with a yellow coat and light pink mane walking towards them, Gohan decided to ask her for directions "Excuse me Miss do you know where...".
Before he could finish his question the mare let out a surprised squeak before looking down to the ground.
Feeling confused Gohan decided to ask again "Um...My name is Gohan, what's yours?".
The mare continued to look down and quietly answered "Um my name is...Fluttershy.".
"I'm sorry I didn't catch that. Could you tell me your name again?" Gohan asked unable to see her face.
Covering her eyes with her mane she one again squeaked out slightly louder "My names is...Fluttershy".
Looking over to Twilight the only reaction she could give to Gohan was a small shrug. Luckily their attention was diverted by the sound of Spike calling for them as he ran down the street.
"Finally I caught up to you two!" He panted as he plopped down on the ground.
At the sight of him the mare suddenly jumped up with an excited look on her face "A baby dragon!".
Before Twilight and Gohan could blink they were knocked out of the way as the mare began to excitedly chat with Spike.
"Oh I've never seen a baby dragon before, what's your name?" She asked as Spike began to feel a little bit of pride that someone was excited to see him.
Smiling widely the dragon answer "My name's Spike.".
"Hi Spike, my names is Fluttershy!" She said in a friendly voice moving her mane away from her face.
Gohan's eyes were froze in amazement at her beauty. Twilight began waving her hoof in front of his face trying to get him to snap at of it. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous at his staring.
After giving up a few moments later she decided to ask Fluttershy her question "Excuse me Miss Fluttershy my name is Twilight Sparkle and we were just wondering where Sugarcube corner is?".
Smiling sweetly Fluttershy answered "Oh yes I know where it is, one of my best friends live there.".
Motioning for them to follow she began walking down the street chatting as she chatted with Spike.
"Well lover boy you coming or what?" Twilight teased as she nudged Gohan.
Shaking out of his stupor he quickly trotted right behind Twilight.
(Sugarcube Corner)
"Well here we are everyone." Fluttershy said as she opened the door to the bakery.
The owners behind the counter greeted her with a warm smile "Well good afternoon Fluttershy! If you are looking for Pinkie Pie, she said something about setting up for a big party she was throwing.".
"That's nice but actually my new friends here were looking to purchase something to eat." She said as Twilight walked up to the counter.
"Hello Sir and Madam, my name is Twilight Sparkle." She said bowing to them.
The two bowed back as the colt spoke "Well hello Miss Sparkle, we've been expecting you. I'm Carrot Cake, and this is my wife Cup Cake. We've already received your letter from Princess Celestia so don't worry about the cost.".
Smiling brightly Twilight ordered a tray of cupcakes, while Gohan ordered a tray of muffins. After waving good-bye the group exited the shop and sat at a table outside.
The four sat there enjoying their food until Fluttershy decided to break the silence by asking Twilight a question "So Twilight why have you all come to Ponyville?".
"Well I am the student of Princess Celestia, and I am here to check on the progress of this year's Summer Sun Festival." She spoke as she took a bite out of a cupcake.
Looking over to Gohan, Fluttershy asked him the same thing.
"Well I'm staying with Twilight until I can find a way to get my memories back." Gohan said with a blush on his face, unable to make eye contact with her.
Fluttershy was confused with what he had said "What do you mean until you find a way to get your memories back?".
Twilight gave her the quick version of the events that led to Gohan staying with her. After she was done the shy mare looked to Gohan with sympathetic eyes.
"Oh you poor thing!" She said and placed a hoof on his shoulder "If there is anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask.".
Feeling his face get even hotter, Gohan gave a nervous laugh before thanking her "Thank you Fluttershy, but I'm sure that eventually I will be back to normal.".
For the next hour they passed the time by talking about the expectations of the Summer Sun Festival. Eventually the sun started to set.
"Alright Spike time to get you home and into bed." Twilight said noticing him yawn.
The dragon groaned as he wiped his eyes "But I'm not even tired!".
Using her magic, Twilight placed the baby dragon onto her back "Well Gohan it's about time we call it a day. We have a very big day tomorrow.".
Nodding Gohan turned to Fluttershy "It was nice to meet you Miss Fluttershy, I hope we can hang out some other time.".
Fluttershy blushed as she started kicking the dirt with her hoof "It was nice to meet you too, have a nice night.".
With that the two parties separated as Gohan and Twilight made their way back down the street.
"Well Twilight maybe after the preparations we can get my head all sorted out." Gohan said with a hopeful look.
Twilight nodded as the finally reached the door to their new home. As she raised her hoof to open the door, her hoof stopped just as it touched the doorknob.
"What's wrong?" Asked Gohan noticing the serious look on her face.
Twilight spoke in a whispered voice "Someone is in there right now!".
Pushing her back Gohan placed his hoof on the door and counted slowly to three "1...2...3!" and burst through the door.
He could have never been prepared for what was on the other side of the door.
