Chapter 4: Zebras Shouldn't Rhyme
A/N Well, I have some disappointing news. This chapter will not contain any OC's. As to why, well, only two people have left me an OC. That, unfortunately, is not enough. I need 3 OC's. Also, your OC can and very well may die. So long as you leave a review every now and then, I'll let them live. Keep that in mind. Also, I may have the perspective change from first to third. Simply because writing in the first person perspective is a bitch. That said, I shall delay you no further. Enjoy this chapter. I am not accepting human OC's. There will be only 2 humans in my story, mine and one that someone submitted. I only accepted it because he would fit in perfectly.
Today was a good day. Or afternoon, whatever. I mouthed off to an alicorn, smashed through a window, survived a 4 story drop, and now I'm lost in the woods. Wonderful. Just wonderful. And even better my memories had finally caught up with me. Unfortunately when it did it felt like someone was trying to cram a lead pipe down my ear. But, at least now I knew where I was. I was in the paradise known as Equestria. Or more specifically, I had stumbled into the Everfree forest. And what was better was the fact that the weird dust that permeated the air earlier was a lot thinner here. Allowing me the pleasure of breathing comfortably.
Making my way past a patch of beautiful blue flowers, I found myself a nice large tree and began to climb it. After getting a decent way up the tree, I proceeded to fall asleep. Sadly though, it was a sleep that was not destined to be. After about 3 minutes of peaceful snoozing I felt a poke in my shoulder. Slowly I opened my eyes and said in an irritated voice "Go. Away".
"I am sorry for waking you up, you see.
But you shouldn't nap in that tree" A rich African female voice spoke.
"Oh Christ, not you." I said sullenly, knowing exactly who was speaking to me. Slowly I stretched my arms and yawned. Standing up I dropped out of the tree and landed on my feet, facing away from the zebra I knew was behind me.
"A monkey the likes of you I've never seen,
especially not one this grouchy and mean." The voice responded.
Slowly I turned around and took a good look at the all too familiar zebra. "You shouldn't make the assumption that I'm a monkey. Monkeys have tails and I do not. So instead you should have called me an ape. Also, why shouldn't I sleep in this tree?"
"That tree, you see, is poison oak.
Almost as dangerous as the poison joke." She responded in her perfect rhyming voice.
"I'm sorry, but what the hell is poison joke?" I asked rather curious as to what she'd say. I, of course, knew that poison joke is a bright blue flower. Yet, I wanted to know for certain that she wasn't just screwin' with me.
"Poison joke is a flower blue, that if touched it'll play a nasty trick on you." She replied.
"Of course it will" I said in a deadpan yet still slightly sarcastic voice. "So, might I ask who you are?" Of course I already knew her name. Had to play it up though.
"Ah, so you don't care about the flora,
well my friend, just call me Zecora." She said rather amused.
"So, umm... well. Is there anything you needed or was that it?" I asked rather eager to get back to sleep.
"Their looking for you, you know, and I doubt you have anywhere to go." Zecora said getting very serious.
"Let them look, cause no matter how hard they try they'll never find me." I responded getting equally serious. "By the way, what are they charging me with?" I asked a little curious. "And cut the rhyming out for this one, you're starting to give me a headache."
"The charges are rather serious. They say you assaulted the princess with the intent to kill her." Zecora responded, thankfully without rhyming.
At this I barked out a rather harsh laugh. "You're kidding right. Oh man, that's funny."
"Why is that funny?" Zecora asked puzzled.
"Oh, no reason." I responded rather casually. But actually I was rather overjoyed on the inside. To think, I get charged with assault, not 5minutes here and I get charged with assault. Pure joy.
"Oh and before I go, do you have a spare cloak I could borrow?" I asked Zecora.
Zecora, not sure how, handed me a spare cloak and rhymed "Take this if you must, I only hope your reason is just."
"Is anything truly just?" I replied to her. Yeah getting philosophical now. And with that I put on the cloak and leapt into the, once more conveniently, placed bushes. Sadly I forgot to look before I leap, and I leapt right into a thorn bush. Ouch.
A/N I have two OC spots left. Leave your pony OC and I might accept them. I'll be leaving for Florida here pretty soon to go on vacation. So yeah, connect 2 and 2. No updates for maybe a week or more. Sorry. Also I may have told some of you that this chapter would be action oriented, yeah sorry. I felt I needed some dialogue. Chapter 5 "SHOULD" contain some action. And I may introduce an OC in that chapter, but no guarantees.
