Chapter 4
Spike and Dave had finished helping Rarity with cleaning up her shop. Dave had wanted to explore more, but his scratched leg still was sore, so the two had decided to make their way back. Spike showed Dave his action figure collection, which Dave was impressed by.
"These are so accurately made," Dave said, examing the craftswork on one. "Do you know who made these?"
"Twilight."
"Twilight made all these for you?" Dave asked, amazed at how a pony with neither fingers or known talent had made such amazing models.
"Yeah," Spike said. "They're really good, right?"
"These are better than the ones that people get for hundreds of dollars where I come from," Dave explained, not sure if Spike understood what he was talking about. "Does she have anymore?"
"Well...there's this one she made that was supposed to be a present for you, but after what happened last night, she pretty much forgot about it."
Dave was suddenly intreged. "Do you have it?"
Spike nodded. "It's in the box and everything. Here you go."
Dave was given a box that had no markings on it, except for a printed pattern. Opening the box, he found an action figure of himself, holding a sword that had a similar aura to the lightning energy field that had brought him here to equestria. There was a note inside, that said "Enjoy this action figure". This one was so well-made, Dave wondered if she had made it using a magic spell. Placing it, back in the box, Dave decided to put it with his stuff. Upon entering the hospital room, he saw that Rob was awake.
"Rob...what's up?" he said, nervously trying to avoid the scowl on Rob's face.
"How long have you been awake, kissass?"
Seeing as how he wasn't going going to get on Rob's good side, Dave threw a binder at him. It wasn't very heavy, but it hit Rob in the face, making him angry.
"I've been awake for about a day."
"What is going on?"
"We got sent here by that lightning bolt. Don't worry, there's a way to send us back."
Rob let out a sign of releif. "Good. The sooner we're out of this place, the better. Also, can you get your little friends to get me out of this strait jacket?"
Dave shook his head. "No way. Not until I'm certain you're not going to hurt my friends."
Rob let out an obnoxious snort. "You just want to keep your girlfriend safe."
Dave whipped his head around. "What?"
Rob knew he had gotten Dave in a gritty position. "That purple one, Twilight. I heard her whining and moaning about how she likes you. And the Rainbow Dash pony showed by that picture you drew."
Dave was getting mad. He grabbed his gituar, and stormed off, slamming the door. He wasn't in the mood to talk about that right now. However, he ran into Twilight as he ran down the hallway.
"Oh, hi Dave," she said, looking away from him. "I think we should talk more about...what happened last night. Starlight said we shoud at least-"
"No!" snapped Dave, causing Twilight to cower in terror. "I DON'T WAN'T TO TALK RIGHT NOW!"
Twilight started to cry, and suddenly Dave was snapped out of his anger and insecurities.
You made Twilight cry. I hope you're happy. A voice inside Dave wispered. Dave was shocked. Without thinking, he grabbed hold of Twilight and hugged her.
Twilight was confused by what had just happened, but she didn't let that stop her from jerking away from him.
"Why are you so...angry?" she asked, a hint of pain in her voice. "If you don't want to talk about your feelings, then just say no!"
Dave was crushed by what he had just done. "Twilight, I am so sorry. I shouldn't have been so mean to you. You've been the best friend to a person you had barely knowledge of, and I've just treated you horribly."
Twilight looked up. "I'm sorry too. I saw you were in a bad mood, I shouldn't have bothered you."
Dave had been fed up with seeing Twilight sad and unhappy, not like the usual cheerful science enthuisast who could tell you almost anything about everything. He had to cheer her up.
"Twilight, thanks for the action figure."
Twilight looked up. "You're welcome. It took me a week to make."
It's not working.
"Twilight, look, I'm sorry about the whole romance thing, but it's been a day. You can take control of it. You stopped freaking Tirek!"
Twilight put her hoof on his hand. "I can fight off any monster who wants to invade my home. I can't fight off heartbreak, and I don't know anyone who can."
Suddenly, Dave thought of something. "Twilight, I have a question to ask you, and you have to answer it honestly."
Twilight looked up at him. "Allright, Dave. Ask me anything."
"How would you feel about going out tonight for dinner?"
