Human of a Pony
Part 4
It was now morning, And the weather had cleared during the night, And the sun had shone over the sky.
But, For Thunder and Fluttershy, They only woke up to the light of the Closet light. They were still stuck inside the closet.
Thunder had woken up first, And quietly got up, Trying not to disturb Fluttershy from her sleep. He noticed that the Ice on the floor had melted. He could walk now.
He quietly walked to the door, And tried to open the door. It was still blocked by the tree branches.
Thunder sighed in sadness. He knew someone would have to find them soon. He was starting to feel hungry. It had been about 17 hours since Him or Fluttershy ever ate anything. He started to feel a little afraid now.
He didn't want Fluttershy to suffer. What was he going to do?
Suddenly, He heard a Voice outside of Fluttershy's house. He heard the voice say, "How in Tarnation can a Storm do that?" The voice sounded a lot like a...Cow Mare. He instantly knew who it was.
He said to himself, "Applejack?" Fluttershy then woke up, And saw him standing. She said, "Thunder? What's going on?" He said, "It's Applejack! Is there an opening around here?"
He looked around, And saw a small square opening with a door near where Applejack's Voice was coming from. He opened it, And light instantly filled the closet, Turning off the closet light.
He yelled, "Hey! Applejack!" AJ looked up and saw Thunder's head popping out of the front of Fluttershy's house. She said, "Thunder, Isn' it? What in Tarnation happened?"
He responded, "Fluttershy was showing me her house, Then that tree crashed into her room." Applejack asked Thunder, "Where is Fluttergal? Is she okay?" Thunder responded, "She's Okay. She's with me, But We're both stuck here in the closet."
Applejack started snickering after he said that. She tried not to laugh, and said, "You two...Stuck...In the closet?" She couldn't hold it anymore. She burst out laughing.
Thunder watched her laughing, And just did a T_T face. He then said, "Yeah, Yeah, Very funny. Can you please just get the others and help us out of here?" Applejack replied, "Sure thing...I'll get you two...Lovers outta there."
She walked away And kept laughing.
Thunder did the T_T face, Then looked down and sighed. Fluttershy could barely hear what Applejack said. Fluttershy asked, "What's so funny?"
Thunder said, "Oh, Applejack's Just thinking some dirty thoughts. I had her go get the others so they can get the tree out of the way." Fluttershy looked at the opening in the wall. She asked, "Can't we get out through there?"
He replied, "It's too small. I can only get my head out." Fluttershy said, "Well, I'm glad Applejack found us. I'm hungry." Thunder replied, "Yeah, Me too."
10:30 a.m. Hill outside Ponyville
About 8 minutes after Applejack left, She found the others, Sitting down, Having a picnic. Well, A breakfast picnic, That Pinkie Pie had made.
Rainbow Dash first spotted her. She said, "Oh, Hey, Apple..." She saw the face that Applejack had. Rainbow replied, "What's so funny?" Applejack said, "Thunder...And Fluttershy...Are stuck...In Fluttershy's...Closet!" She burst out laughing again.
Twilight Sparkle yelled, "WHAT? THEY'RE TRAPPED?" AJ replied, "Yeah...In The Closet." She continued to laugh. Rainbow said, "APPLEJACK, WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING? THEY'RE TRAPPED AND YOU'RE LAUGHING YOURSELF AWAY?"
Applejack said, "HAHAHA...Hahaha...Ehehehe...Ehh...T_T...You don't get it, Do you?" Twilight replied, "What we get, Is that It's not funny with them trapped in the closet." Applejack said, "Look, I'll tell you later. But, They wanted me to get you gals. C'mon!"
They all hurried from their picnic blanket. Pinkie yelled, "Wait! Lemme pack up the picnic quick!" Rainbow then walked back and grabbed Pinkie and dragged her. They all ran to Fluttershy's house.
It's been 10 minutes since they left the hill, Since Pinkie Pie kept going back for some reason, To pack her stuff so nobody stole it. They finally reach Fluttershy's house, With a gigantic Tree lodged right into the front of the house.
Rainbow said, "Oh, My gosh..." Thunder had heard since the opening was still open. He looked out and said, "Hey, you guys." Twilight said, "What happened?" Thunder didn't want to bore her with a story, So he pointed to the tree.
He then said, "Can you help us?" Rainbow replied, "Not to worry, Thunder!" And she flew up, And pulled the large tree as hard as she could. She managed to lift it up, And throw it in a large crater.
She panted, For that was one heavy tree.
Thunder could now open the door. He turned the handle, And pushed the door outward. He walked out and smelled the fresh air. He then saw the damage that the tree had done to Fluttershy's Roof and room.
Thunder said, "Ooohhh...That is not...Good..." He then heard sniffling behind him. He looked. Fluttershy was on the floor, Crying softly.
He said to her, "Fluttershy?" She said, Shaking, "My room...My Beautiful room..." He said to her as she began crying, "Hey, Hey, It's okay. We'll fix it." Rainbow said, "What're you ponies doing up there?"
Thunder had picked up Fluttershy who was too sad to fly, And opened his wings, And flew down to the others. Twilight said, "Fluttershy, Are you okay?" She nodded yes. He said, "She's sad, Because, Well, Her room is destroyed."
She managed to say, "I worked day and night on that room, And now it's ruined." She managed to stand after Thunder placed her down. Applejack said, "Well, At least the rest didn't fall apart there, Gal."
Suddenly, The structure under Her destroyed Bedroom had started to crumble, And fall. Within seconds, The front half of Fluttershy's house was reduced to rubble.
Everyone's face went 0_0. Fluttershy had fainted. Thunder just made a T_T face at Applejack. She just chuckled nervously. She then said, "Uhh...Too soon?"
Twilight said, "Oh, Poor Fluttershy. What'll she do? Where will she go?" Pinkie said, "She could stay at my place!" Applejack replied, "Beg your pardon, Gal, But It would be too party-like."
Twilight said, "She can stay at my home until we can get her's fixed." Applejack asked Thunder, "Hey, Par'ner, Don' you have a home yourself?" Thunder said, "No. But, I decided That I'm not going to buy a home. I'm going to MAKE one. My way."
Rainbow asked, "Where?" He looked around, And then saw a faint Canyon off to the distance not far from Ponyville, And he could see a large river in it. He then said, "Right over there! In that Canyon!"
Twilight saw the Canyon, And knew what it was (It's a fake Canyon). She asked, "Reservoir Canyon? Well, That's kinda weird. Where are you gonna build it in there?" He smirked, And said, "I'm gonna build my home right into the Rock."
Twilight knew it was impossible to build a home from rock. She asked, "But, That's impossible." He said, "I don't think it will be so impossible for me. For some reason, I don't think I have just two abilities."
Applejack said, "Soooo...You might have 3 Abilities?" She looked at his Two cutie marks, And asked in confusion, "Well, Why do you have only Two Cutie marks?" He responded, "Well, Before I got "Lost," I've always had a Knack for Creating things."
He added, "Once, I had this huge boulder, And carved a Home for Squirrels inside it. It seemed impossible for others, But for me..." He snapped his hooves together, "...It was a piece of Cake."
Pinkie Pie yelled, "CAKE!" Fluttershy woke up and screamed. Everypony looked at Fluttershy. She looked at everypony. She then said, "Uhh...Sorry." Pinkie added, "Me, Too." Pinkie laughed nervously.
Twilight said to Fluttershy, "Come on, Fluttershy. You can stay at my place." Fluttershy said, "Oh. Umm...Thank you, Twilight."
Thunder said, "I'll see you guys later. I gotta go get some tools." Fluttershy asked, "For what?" He replied, "My home." He smiled. Fluttershy looked at her house, Then back at Thunder. He then said, "Oh! And Your home. Almost forgot, Hehe..."
Soon, Twilight, Fluttershy, And the others head to Sugarcube Corner to eat. Thunder headed to a workshop to get some tools.
A few minutes after he got the tools, He headed to Reservoir Canyon, And saw the beautiful Stream flowing down the Canyon middle. He saw the beautiful landscape, As well. It was like pollution was completely gone. He sighed to himself, And said to himself, "What Mankind would take millions of years to do, Ponykind did in just 18,000 years."
He then tried to find a specific place to start. He found it, The middle of the right side of the canyon. It was really close to a Waterfall, Which sounded like music to Thunder's Ears.
He sighed, And said, "Okay...Here we go." He placed the hammer into the side of the rock.
It's Now 3:35 p.m. Equestrian Time. After eating, The girls decided to check on Thunder. When they reached Reservoir Canyon, They were suprised by what they saw: They saw a Metal door with the letter T placed on it, And there was a control panel right next to the door.
Pinkie said, "I guess he was right when he said building things out of rock were a piece of cake." Twilight said, "C'mon, Girls. Let's check it out." They headed towards the door, And saw on the panel, A button that led to speakers.
Twilight pressed it, And held it. She said, "Uh, Thunder? Are you in there?" Thunder instantly responded, "Oh, Yes, I'm here. C'mon in!" Twilight said, "But, The door's..." Then, The door slid back, And rolled off into the cave rock, Leaving a small tunnel to walk through. Twilight finished her sentence, "...Locked."
Then, Thunder popped out. He said, "Hello, Girls!" Rarity was startled a little bit. She said, "Don't startle us like that, Thunder. It's un-Colt-like!" Thunder looked at the other girls, Then said, "Uhh...I don't think anypony was startled except for you, Rarity."
She then looked at the other girls, who were looking at her, Then she said, "Oh." Thunder then continued, "Well, Girls...Check out my new home." They walked through the tunnel which led to a smaller door that looked like the entrance door. The door opened up, And all of the girls were amazed at what they saw...
They saw a Huge Living room with shiny, Grey Walls, A Comfortable Sofa couch, A Coffee table, And a shiny Blue ceiling. Rarity had recognized the Color of the Ceiling substance. It was the rubies that she had loved so much.
She asked Thunder, "How...How did you make that Blue Ruby Ceiling?" Thunder replied, "I got it from the Ruby cave under the house." Rarity said, "Ruby...Cave?" Thunder replied, "Yeah. C'mon, I'll show you."
He had built this door that automatically slid open whenever someone or something got near it. When Rarity opened the door, She literally almost fainted at the sight: Large, Blue Rubies everywhere! It was like a sea of blue in the cave.
Rarity asked, "Do you...Mind, If I take some of your Rubies?" He replied, "Uhh, I didn't say they were mine. So, Basically, They're yours." Rarity was about to go crazy. She asked, "Mine...?" He said, "Eeyup." He smiled.
She then lost control, And screamed, "MINE!" And jumped into the large "Sea" of the blue rubies. She literally swam in it. All of the girls who were watching just did 0_0. Thunder then said, "Ooo...Kay...Uh, You can stay here, I'm gonna show the girls the rest of the house."
He then left, And Rarity kept swimming in happiness in the Rubies. She said, "Mine...Mine! IT's ALL MINE!"
Thunder then asked Rainbow Dash, "Uh...Is she always like that?" Rainbow replied, "Yup." Thunder then said, "Oh...Kay." Later, After showing them all of the rooms, He showed them his last room: The Bedroom.
He said, "Well, Here's the last room. Well, Not the last. But, This is my bedroom." Pinkie said, "Wowie Zowie! MY BRAIN JUST WENT POWIE!" Thunder said, "Uhh...What?" Pinkie replied, "It's my Language for "AMAZING!" He responded, "Okay. That makes sense."
Rainbow Dash had looked at the floor, And could see the Living room below. She said, "Hey, Thunder, How come we couldn't see through the Ceiling downstairs, But we can see through the floor up here?"
Thunder responded, "Right, About that, I placed a special coating on The Rubies as I placed them, Causing ponies to see through one side, But not the other. So, Just incase, If an intruder were to enter my home, I could see who it is, And what they are doing."
Twilight said, "Well, I guess you weren't kidding when you said that you could build things out of rocks so easily." Thunder replied, "I never kid, My pony friend. Hehehe..." Fluttershy, Who was quiet, Had said, "Oh...My. It's...It's...Beautiful."
Rainbow had said, "Hey, Thunder. You said something about a "Last room..." Thunder replied, "Right. Girls, Follow me." They followed him to the last room. When the door opened up, A sight that looked not really cool: The room looked like a Simulation testing room.
It had a control panel off to the side, And the room was Dome-Shaped. Twilight was confused. She said, "Uhh...What is it?" Thunder replied, "It's a simulation room. You like it?" She replied, "Uhh...What does it do?"
Thunder said, "Haven't you ever heard of simulations?" Twilight replied, "Well, Yeah, But the simulations we've seen are just forests of the past and What Ponyville and Manehattan looked like back then.
Thunder said in confusion, "What? "Manehattan?" Don't you mean "Manhattan?" Twilight said, "No, It's "Manehattan." Why do you call it that?" Thunder replied, "Yeah. Where I come from, We called it "Manhattan." It was a huge city. But if it's 18,000 years since I left...Then...Oh, Okay, It's not the same place."
Twilight was confused. She said, "What do you mean..."18,000 years since you left?" Thunder replied, "Oh, I shouldn't have said that. Well...You guys...Uh...When Rainbow said I got lost in Equestria...Uh...I was actually teleported here."
Twilight knew it wasn't her magic. She said, "well, It can't be my magic because I haven't used magic much for the past few days. Where did you come from?" He replied, "Well...I came here from about 18,000 years ago."
All of the girls gasped. Pinkie said, "18,000 years? How are you alive?" Thunder replied, "I told you. I was teleported through Time. Only, I fell unconsious through the portal."
He walked towards the Control panel. He added, "Anyway, I created the Systems to load locations from the past that I've Transferred from my Memory. About Manhattan, You wonder why I keep saying that...? Well, Here is why."
He loads the location into the panel, And pulls the switch. Then, The whole room shone with a Bright light, Bright enough Where they couldn't see around them. All of a sudden, The light disappeared, And all of the ponies looked different...
They were tanned creatures, With Five fingers, Feet with five toes, And were wearing clothes. The obvious answer: They had become humans.
Pinkie Pie said, "What happened?" Applejack said, "I feel different." Rainbow said, "What's going on?" Thunder had walked near them and said, "Well, Ladies, To answer your questions, You have become humans."
The girls gasped at Thunder. They didn't know who he was for a few moments. Rainbow said, "Who are you?" Thunder replied, "It's Me, Thunder." Twilight asked, "What did you do?" Thunder said, "Simple. I placed my DNA sample into the Computer, And whenever somepony were to load a specific area on Earth, They became the creatures known as humans."
He added, "I had a little bit of Human DNA inside of me." Rainbow said, "Well...I like this form. It feels amazing!" Then, The girls looked around the area they were in. They saw Humans walking all around them. Twilight said, "Whoa...What is this place?"
Thunder answered her question, "This, Twilight...Is the legendary city of Manhattan." The Simulation had materialised New York City around them. The girls all went, "Ahhh."
Pinkie Pie asked, "Did you Teleport us to the past?" Thunder said, "Nope. I had memory of my time in Manhattan. This is a glimpse of what my life was like 18,000 years ago."
Rainbow Dash asked, "Hey. Where's the simulation room?" Thunder replied, "Don't you see?" The control panel from the room was still next to him. He finished, "We are still IN the Simulation room."
Applejack asked, "Well, What happened to the walls an' the Floor? Explain that, Par'ner." Thunder said, "That doesn't really sound very detailed, But the simulation room can project an area of over 200 miles, So basically, THIS entire city "Is" the Simulation room, Per say."
Applejack said, "Well, That ma' Sense." Thunder chuckled. Pinkie Pie asked, "Where are we in uhh...Manhattan?" Thunder replied, "Ahh, this place. The place I visited so many times: Times Square."
Twilight then said, "Wait a second. Where's Rarity?" Thunder said, "Must still be swimming in the blue. Hahaha...Okay, Better turn this thing off before it overheats." He pulls the switch up on the panel, And another flash surrounds them once again.
They open their eyes, And they're back in the Simulation room. They are now again ponies. Twilight said, "Well, That was amazing!" Thunder said, "It was, Wasn't it?" Pinkie asked, "Hey, Wasn't your name Thunder back Then as well? Were you a pony there, Too?"
Thunder replied, "Oh, No. My name was...John Daniels. And, I wasn't a pony. I was a human, As well. I think the portal switched my DNA from Human to Pony along the way." Twilight asked, "Well, What about your family? Do you miss them?" Thunder replied, "I've been missing them for the past 10 years."
Twilight asked, "What do you mean?" It was silent for a few moments. He then said, "Would you want to hear a story about my life?" Pinkie said, "Sure!" Rainbow Dash said, "Okay. That way, We can know more about you." Twilight said, "Okay."
He said to them, "Let's go down to the living room and sit down. Then, I'll tell you guys." They all proceeded down to the living room and sat down. Thunder sat down in this one seat. It was quiet for a few seconds. Thunder sighed.
Twilight asked, "Thunder? Are you okay?" He replied after a second, "Yeah...I'm fine. Just trying to refresh my memory." He was quiet for a few moments, Then said, "Okay." He began to speak his story.
"I was born in a place Called Florida. A city called Orlando. My Birthdate was July 24, 1993. My Parents were glad to see me for the first time. Their names were Thomas Daniels, And Wendy Daniels. These were names of the past, Of My time...My mother cradled me in her arms, And I could see her smiling."
All of the girls, Except Rarity, Who was still in the ruby cave, Were smiling.
Thunder continued, "I could remember everything so clearly after that: My first Birthday, My first word, My first footsteps, Everything."
"Then, Two months after I reached my Fifth year of life, I started my first day of School. I was nervous, At first, But over the past few months, I got rid of my fear, And made many friends. Kindergarten wasn't very fun, Though. But Over the years, School became fun. By Fourth Grade, School became Easy for me. It was the grade when I first met the girl of my dreams at the time: Julie Pierce."
Rainbow asked, "You had a Crush?" Thunder replied, "Yep."
He continued, "When I first met her in Fourth Grade, She wore a Red Dress, Blue Shoes, And had Brown, Long hair. I knew she was the love of my life. At recess, She was sitting on a bench, And I sat next to her. We started talking, And became friends. Then, I Asked her out, And we became...A Couple. She kissed my Cheek. I can still remember it." Then, Just a few days after my Tenth birthday, My parents and I were going on a Trip to The place I had presented to you: Manhattan, Also called New York City. It also meant that I had to leave my Girlfriend, Or as you ponies call it, My "Marefriend," For a while. I kissed her on the lips, And got in the car, And Waved goodbye to her."
Rainbow Dash asked a quick question, "Uh, Thunder?" He looked at her, "Yeah?" She asked, "What's a...Car?" He replied, "It's sort of similar to the wagons you have. They have Four wheels, They have this system inside of the front of the car that allow them to work. Inside, You push this lever down with your foot, Or hoof, And the Car can move without any support." Rainbow replied, "Cool."
Thunder chuckled. He continued.
"During the car ride, Everything was well. I was sitting in the back, Listening to music. My Father was driving the car, And my mother was in the Passenger seat looking at the map, Finding out if we were going the right way. Everything was well. By the next day, We reached Manhattan. We took a tour around the city. We visited Times Square, The Statue of Liberty, Queens, Everything. It was amazing. Then, the last place we visited, Was the place I wish still stood...The World Trade Center."
Pinkie Pie asked, "What's the World Trade Center?" Thunder replied, "The World Trade Center was a huge complex, And one large symbol of it were two Tall towers standing right next to each other. They were called "The Twin Towers."
Rainbow asked, "What was the date you first Went to New York City?" Thunder was silent for a few seconds. The day was so sad, He didn't want to remember the date. But...He answered Rainbow Dash's question, And said...
"...The Date...Was September 11, 2001."
Oooh, What happens next? What happens to him? To his family? Find out in Chapter 5! This is the longest chapter so far. :D Hope you liked! The next chapter is Thunder's story, Continued. :D
