Chapter 11
(I think it's time. I've left notes in the chapters. Nopony has voted, other than me, so... Rage at me now.)
"Mr. Sandman ooh bring me a dream! Make him the cutest that I've ever seen!" I sang, as I took a walk down the road.
I felt unusually happy today. No reason what so ever.
"Hey Chris. You seem happy today." Olivia said as I walked by her.
"Thanks!" I replied, trotting down the streets.
"Hey there!" An unfamiliar blue pony with a light blue mane said.
"Well, hi there friend!" I said, extending a hoof.
He bumped my hoof.
"Nice to meet you. Name's Ocean. Cool Ocean." He said.
"I'm Impact Point. Total party animal, dubstep lover, and mare magnet, at your service." We chuckled.
"Well, nice to meet you, Impact. I'm a swimmer, minecr-" He slammed his front hooves over his mouth.
"Ha ha, you good sir, have just revealed to me, that you are not of this world! Score for me!" I yelled, pumping my hoof.
His eyes widened.
"Don't worry bro. I know the feeling. Cept' I don't need to worry, cause' I already told the mane six." I put my fore arm around his neck.
He chuckled.
"It's not like anyone was around to hear it." He said.
"Sweet. I'll see you later, I guess." I said, cantering (Welcome back!) off.
I passed the library, and stopped for a moment.
"Hmm..." I thought for a moment.
I knocked on the door.
"It's a library!" I heard Twilight's voice call.
Oh. Right.
I opened the door to see Twilight reading a book.(What a twist!)
"Hey Impact." She said, not taking her eyes off her book.
"I was wondering if you wanted to," I coughed on purpose, just to stall.
She looked up from her book.
"If you wanted to... er... you know..." This was the most awkward moment in my life so far.
Her ears perked up.
"Go... out?"
She stood silently for a moment.
"Yes, of course!" She replied.
Success!
"Great! When?" I said, a giant grin on my face.
"I'm free all day." She said.
"Feel like lunch?"
"Sure! How does..." She rubbed her chin.
"In two hours sound?" She finished.
"Great! Where are we going?"
"I have a place. Pick me up, okay?"
"Got it. Two hours, pick you up, we go somewhere. Easy!"
"See you in two hours." She said as I walked out.
"WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I yelled as I got outside.
The chances are, Twilight heard that, but no matter.
"Where's the fire?" Somepony asked me.
"No fire, just happiness, bro!" I said, giving him a giant hug.
"Um..." I released him.
"See ya!" I said, galloping to my house.
Man, today was going to be so frickin' rad!
Two hours, okay, what time is it now?
ten O' clock. So I leave at around eleven fifty.
PLAN MADE.
"Alright, what am I gonna' be wearing." I said to myself.
Eptic walked up to me.
I heard fizzle from a stereo on his back.
"What you doing?" I heard a ghetto voice come from the stereo.
"You can talk?"
"Oh, heck yes."
"Sweet."
"So, you wanted something to wear?" He said.
"Yeah, I'm not sure."
"Don't wear anything. Your a pony. And I doubt she wants you to wear a tuxedo if it's a surprise lunch."
"Yeah, but what if-" He cut me off.
"Just be yourself, okay? Don't be all 'what if I'm not good enough for her', why else did she say yes in the first place? Besides, the chances are, There's already something that's going to go down that she can write to Celestia about. I hear they make you write in cursive." Eptic finished.
"Wow. Okay than, I'm not wearing anything."
He chuckled. "Alrighty then."
"So, what else should I do, huh?" I said, sitting on my bed.
"Well, you could duct tape your wings." He said, chuckling.
"Well, if I'm wearing something that would work."
"Well then, go to the pharmacy or something. They must have something for wing... yeah."
"Alright, but your coming with." I said, pulling him up and craning my neck around so I could putting him on my back.
"Allons-Y!" I said, leaving.
"Do they even have pharmacies in Equestria?" I said.
"Well, they have scotch and wine so probably." Eptic replied.
I nodded.
"Well that was easy." I said as we came in front of a pharmacy.
"Well? You going in?" Eptic said impatiently.
"Yeah, yeah."
I walked in, and saw shelves and shelves of bottles, liquids, and other things.
I looked around for whatever I needed.
"Look for wing anti-" I cut him off again.
"I know what I'm looking for, don't announce it to the whole store."
"There." He said, pointing at a bottle.
I picked it up.
'Anti Wing Erections'
I chuckled, and took it to the counter.
"Alright, that will be five bits." The stallion at the counter said.
"You got it." I pulled five bits out of my bit purse thing.
I took the bottle and headed home.
"Well, that was easy." Eptic said as we walked.
"Yeah, I thought we would spend more time looking for the pharmacy."
We arrived home.
I poured two pills into my hoof, grabbed a mountain dew, and chugged them down.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"Eleven O' two." Eptic replied.
"Alright, so forty eight minutes till'. I guess I should study up on something in the meantime, huh?"
"Yeah, if you want to understand her." He chuckled.
I grabbed a few books from the shelves.
Thirty-five minutes later...
"Wow! I didn't know I could read fast!" I exclaimed, and put the last of my five books away.
"Your finished already?" Eptic asked.
"Guess so. I didn't know I could read that fast." I chuckled.
"Check the clock." Eptic said.
"Time to hit the road." I replied.
"Alright. Wish me luck." I said, walking out the door.
Inhaling, and exhaling, I went off for Twilight's library.
"Okay man, you got this." I said to myself, taking the most important walk of my life.
Okay, a really important walk of my life.
I arrived at the library and knocked on the door.
Twilight opened the door and grinned.
"Hey Twi. So, where are we going?" I said.
"Just wait. You'll love it." She said, grabbing a coat.
"So, how do we speak the same language?" I asked.
"Yeah, that is kinda strange. I mean, it might be the whole 'Inter-dimensional' thing or something." Twilight said.
"I wonder if there's a bond between earth's dimension and Equestria's. That would make sense."
The discussion continued all the way to the resturant.
I looked up to see the words 'The mare's dream' in large cursive.
"Well, I should fit well here." I joked, and Twilight giggled.
I opened the door for her, and followed her in.
The restaurant was relatively empty, with only a few tables taken.
"If you could just follow me to your seats, and we can get comfortable, hm?" A stallion said.
"Thanks." I said, and we followed the stallion to a table.
"Now, I'll be right back to take your orders. For now can I hold you over with a drink?" He said.
"Sure. What are you having?" I asked Twilight.
"Just water, thank you." Twilight said.
"You sir?"
"Just some light scotch, please." I ordered.
"Right away, sir."
A stallion leaned back in his chair from behind me.
"Wuss." He whispered.
"Oh, your calling me a wuss? A real man would say that out loud." I said out loud.
He put on an annoyed look, and stopped his chair tipping.
I returned to my original posture, to see Twilight raising an eyebrow at me.
"What? He called me a wuss!" I said, making her chuckle, and lose her serious look.
"So, what kind of restaurant is this?" I asked.
"Just a casual place, I guess. Just don't come on Friday after seven P.M." She replied.
"Oh, I see." I chuckled.
(WARNING EXTREME SCIENCE HERE!)
"So, since there isn't any magic on earth, or your whole galaxy for that matter, how does your sun and moon rise and fall every day and night?" Twilight asked.
"Well, I may not be able to make a perfect explanation, but It'l do. You see, the sun and moon don't revolve around the earth, the earth revolves around the sun, and the moon revolves around the earth. The sun is about..." I rubbed my chin for a moment.
"875,000 miles long, or 1,329,000 kilometers long. It's obviously bigger than Equestria's sun. The sun stays in one place, and the earth spins around on an axis, and spins around the sun. The moon is about 3,473 Kilometers long, only twenty-seven percent of the earths length. The moon actualy spins around the earth, while it spins on it's own axis. It's alot more complicated than that. I'll let you use my computer to look it up." I finished.
"Wow, that's really interesting. So it does it all by itself?"
"No, it has a little help with gravity. I'll talk about it later."
"May I take your order?" The stallion had returned.
"Yeah, I'll have a tofu salad, with a side of garlic bread."
"Anything tofu and between two pieces of bread." I said.
The waiter chuckled. "Of course. Our tofu burger with tomatoes and lettuce." He said.
"Oh, and here are your drinks." He put down a glass of water and a bottle of scotch in front of me in Twilight.
"Wow. This looks good." I said, eying the bottle.
"So, Humans are different from equines, so, what is their..." Twilight seemed to search for the right word.
"Biology, like?" She finished.
I chuckled slightly. "Well, the brain is in the same place, we have smaller mouths, smaller teeth, thinner tongues, fingers, flat hands, alot of stuff. I guess I could show you some later." I told her.
"Hm... interesting. This looks like our food." She said as the waiter came towards our table with a large platter on his hoof.
"Your orders, sir." He said, taking off a plate with a burger on it.
"That looks amazing." I said.
"Your salad ma'am." He said politely, and took Twilight's bowl off the platter and placing it in front of her.
"Thank you." She thanked him.
"Have a nice day." The waiter said, walking off.
I grabbed my burger and took a bite.
"Wow! That tastes like real-" I cut myself off.
"Real meat?" Twilight said, putting down her fork.
"Well, yeah, except I don't eat meat very often. Just fish, really."
"No fillies or colts?"
"Nope. Nobody where I came from ate horse meat. Well, it was against the law anyways."
Twilight nodded and began to eat.
I continued to scarf down my burger.
One hour later...
"That was amazing!" I exclaimed as we walked outside.
"I told you that you'd like it." Twilight said.
"Hey, about that human Biology thing. I have a book on it at my place."
"Great! Do you mind if I borrow it?" She said, clopping her hooves together.
"Not at all." I replied, and smiled warmly.
She smiled back.
"Let's go, shall we?" I said in an overly posh accent.
Twilight chuckled, and walked closer besides me.
"Sure." We walked over to the house, and had a discussion about the whole gravity thing.
"Alright, fine! Only because of your great powers of persuasion." I joked, agreeing that she could borrow a book on gravity.
She hopped in excitedly and pulled the two books from the shelf.
"Thanks. Feel like walking me home?" She said, putting the books in a saddle bag.
"Sure thing." I replied.
We walked out, and towards the library.
Ten minutes later...
"Yeah! So then he's all 'man you drink scotch? You wuss!' and I was ticked off at that point, right? So I say, 'Boy, you best shut yo' mouth before I punch it off!' So what does this guy do? He tries to take my own bottle of scotch and break it over my head, so, I grab the bottle, and drink it all, and punch the guy out!" We both began laughing our flanks off.
"He seriously tried to hit you with your own bottle?" Twilight said.
"Yeah." I calmed down.
"Well, looks like we're here." I said as we approached the library.
"That was really fun. I hope we can do it again soon." She said.
"I'll be sure to pester you." I joked.
She chuckled, and thought for a moment.
Her eyes... her beautiful purple eyes had some sort of... spark in them.
"Well, I have to go." I said, breaking the silence.
Again, Chris. You mess up.
"Oh, yeah, sure. Today was great. See you later." She replied.
"See ya." I said, walking away.
Okay, I have to admit, that went better than I thought.
"Celebratory cupcake time!" I said to myself, galloping towards the Sugar Cube Corner.
I burst through the doors of the bakery, and instantly smelt an oncoming sugar coma.
"Hi Impact!" Pinkie yelled, jumping over the counter.
"Hey Pinkie Pie! How has your day been?" I said happily.
"A bit slow, actually!" She hopped back over the counter.
"I'll take ten cupcakes, extra sugar!" I said, pulling out twenty bits and putting them on the counter.
"Right up!" She said, grabbing the bits and jumping into the kitchen.
I took a seat at a table to wait at.
Cool Ocean walked in the bakery.
"Hey, man!" I greeted him.
"Hey, Impact, right?"
"Yep. Has Pinkie met you?"
Ocean shook his head.
"Oh no, get out, quick!" I said, grabbing him and pushing him out.
"What the heck man?" he said while I pinned him to the wall next to the door.
"Hold on, Pinkie Pie is really crazy, okay? She'll plan a party that only a few ponies will stay awake for the end, and if your lucky, than it won't be an alcoholic party. Now, you go in there, and get a great party, or you wuss out and stay out. What do you say?"
Ocean only nodded his head and entered the bakery.
Pinkie let out a giant gasp and shot toward, and landed right in front of Ocean.
"Your new to ponyville! Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, what's your name?" She blurted.
"Cool Ocean. Best swimmer in Equestria." Ocean replied, and held out his hoof.
Pinkie bumped it with her own hoof.
"I've seen Impact do that with some of his friends, and it's kinda cool!" She said.
Ocean chuckled, and put his hoof down.
"Well, I was gonna get a few cupcakes." Ocean said.
"Sure thing! Three bits!" Pinkie said.
"What?" Ocean looked confused.
"It's on me." I stood up and pulled out three bits.
"What the heck is a bit?" Ocean asked.
"Money here in Equestria." I replied.
"Oh, than I should probably get some, huh?"
"Yeah. Thank god they don't have taxes here." We both chuckled.
"Your cupcakes are done!" Pinkie said, as a bell went off, and rushed into the kitchen.
"You getting' cupcakes too?" Ocean said.
"Heck yeah. Extra sugar. Just for this occasion, too." I said, smiling.
"Occasion?" Ocean questioned.
"Yeah, first date with Twilight." I chuckled.
"I kinda screwed up the last part, but no matter!" I said, chuckling.
Pinkie came back with a tray full of cupcakes.
"Here you go!" She said, putting the tray on the counter.
I grabbed the tray and sat back down.
"Wow, these look delicious." I said, picking up a cupcake.
"I made one that looks like you, and I put one that looks like Twilight next to it!" She said, pointing to a red cupcake worth green and black frosting, then to a lavender cupcake with purple and pink frosting.
I chuckled(That's happening alot.). "That's cute." I said.
"Thanks! Don't worry about what you feel afterwards, it's just the food coloring!" Pinkie said, jumping back into the kitchen.
I laughed at the pink ponies disregard for the dangers of food coloring.
I dug into mt cupcake Doppler, and my mouth was filled with flavor.
"This is great!" I exclaimed, examining my cupcake.
"Well, why don't you try eating it instead of playing L.A. Noir with it?" Ocean said, making us both laugh.
"Cupcakes!" Pinkie shouted, coming back from the kitchen with a paper bag.
Ocean took it and sat in front of me.
"So, what's in yours?" I said.
"One pink one, a red one, and a blue one." He answered, taking each one out.
"Nice. Check this out." I raised my head, and slammed it on top of three cupcakes, my mouth open to make a circle.
"What in gods name did you do that for?" Ocean said, cracking up.
I slowly eat all three cupcakes, never taking my head of the tray.
I pulled my head up, and smiled proudly.
Ocean was laughing so hard, he almost snorted some of his cupcake.
"What the heck? How did you do that?" He said between breaths.
"I have no idea." I chuckled.
Ocean finally calmed down, and finished his first cupcake, while I finished my fifteenth.
"Man, Equestria has some crazy stuff in it." He said.
"Your tellin' me!" I exclaimed, finishing my seventeenth cupcake.
"How the heck are you finishing those so fast?"
"Not a clue. Hey, It's magic I ain't gotta explain jack." I chuckled.
I was on my last cupcake when I began to feel strangely full.
I jammed the cupcake in my mouth.
"Dude, you alright?" Ocean asked, gaining worried eyes.
Darkness crept around the edges of my vision.
"I'm fine, just... Going into a..." I trailed of as the darkness got closer to the middle of my vision.
"What? Hey, come on man!" Ocean shook me by the shoulders, but to no avail.
"I'm going into a... Sugar Coma..." I said, my vision finally going out, and I felt my back against the tiled floor.
(Alright, got that off my chest. I'm going into a bomb shelter for a few years to survive the apocalypse of raging people. See ya!)
