"Here you go Rainbow Dash, this is for maths"
"I see," Replies Dash with a mouthful of hay "What do ya have to do for it?"
"What's the square root of 69?"
How ironic...69. I wonder how many immature kids are gonna laugh at that question.
"8.3"
"Wait…..Hey it is too! I already worked that one out, how did you know?"
"Cause I just do"
I have to admit I'm horrible at maths. I have to count on my fingers just to remember that two and two is four.
"Dashie, are you some egg-head," I dare to push Dash's limits.
"FUCK NO! I am NOT an egg-head"
"What's so bad about being an egg-head"
Now I remember Jordan IS a bit of an egg-head himself…..I hope Dashie didn't upset him….Jordan really goes insane when he is angry, like one time I told him he was a worthless piece of shit…..He didn't help me lift a fridge into Dad's shed…..And he made a program to HACK my Facebook profile and posted videos of very VERY dirty things which I'm not even going to describe and deleted my assignments from my laptop when he came over to my house….I managed to get them back from my USB.
"They're…GEEKS!"
"No we aren't"
"You're an egg-head?"
"YES!"
"Jordo, Dash please stop…."
"Sure thing Twix"
"Fine Matt only cause the fact you're a friend…"
Jordan sat there working on his assignment while me and Dash pigged out on the rest of the hay which ended up being half a full size cube by now. Dash stood behind him answering the questions that he couldn't answer while I stood there thinking about who we're going to have in the wedding party. I know that I want to invite Rhys, the fire fighter pony, because he tried all he could and I would like to get to know him better, he seems like a pretty cool guy. I think Dash wants Daybreak to be one of the groomsmen and I agree with that, I'm also thinking that Bill could be another groomsmen and have Derp…I mean Dizty Doo as one of the bridesmaids. I should really think about this stuff later cause I still want to go and see Bill before it gets dark.
"So if I divide ninety eight by two then add 506 I will get five hundred and fif….HEY! That's it!"
"Yep"
"How did you know that?"
"Cause I am Rainbow Dash and I know everything"
"If you know everything you would notice that it's getting dark outside and we should go and see Bill soon," I but in.
"Yeah, cya Jordan," Dash says while finishing her mouthful of hay "good to meet you"
"Hey wait! Can I please tag along? I need to help Bill with some more of the assignment"
"Sure"
Jordan walked us outside the barn holding some hay in either hand for Dash and I along the way…..What a nice person Jordan really is.
"MUM, MUM I'M GOING TO BILL'S HOUSE NOW!"
"Ok Jordan it's half past six so don't be too long"
"Sure bye mum"
"CYA NANCY," I scream at the door…..
"WHAT," I hear a voice yell back from inside the house; I look at Jordan and Dash shaking their heads at me trying to tell me not to yell anything back. "MATT? IS THAT YOU?"
"YEAH I JUST COME TO GET JORDAN SO WE CAN GO OVER TO BILL'S"
"OK CYA BOYS HAVE FUN"
"CYA"
Jordan and Dash start walking while I tag along behind in the sky. I don't see why we just can't fly him there…..I HATE walking!
"Oh shit! You guys can't be seen with wings!"
"What do…..ohhh yeah that's right we're not humans anymore"
Jordan quickly runs back into the barn and pulls out two horse covers…How humiliating.
"Here throw these on"
Dash and I do what we're told and we put them on without hesitation. They're just a little bit scratchy but they feel like a nice blanket.
We walk out the front gate which rallies to the main road just outside of the main part of the suburb. While we walk out the gate Jordan picks up some rope which sat on his mailbox which I assume he forgot to bring in earlier….He ties me and Dash in a small loose knot to make it look like he was going about his daily business of taking the horses to the stable…..None of them which have rainbow manes or blue or black fur.
As we enter the busiest part of the city there are heaps of people on the street but there is one guy who stand out the most. He is wearing a blue jumper with Rainbow Dash's cutie mark on it…..Ohhh no….What will Dash think when she sees him. I try to act like a normal horse and sort of push Dash's head to the side so she didn't see it but it was too late.
"YOU," he screamed "I know you! You're Twix"
"Ummmm, excuse me," Jordan says looking around to see nobody around.
"I know that you have been thinking about adding Rhys, the pony who failed to put out a fire, into your wedding"
I just look around more trying to act like a normal Earth horse.
"Don't bother ignoring me! Nor you Rainbow Dash"
Dash breaks her horse silence
"How do you know my name?"
"You'll find out"
"Dash why?"
"I know everything about you two"
"What do you mean," I say realising his voice sounds familiar
"So Dash, how are you feeling now? Not upset anymore?"
"What are you on about?"
"Good to see you're not crying anymore. Oh and Twix how did that afterbirth taste? Did it taste like Skittles?"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
"I know EVERYTHING about you, even more then you know yourselves"
He stops talking and hands us a disc. But this disc isn't any normal disc….it has rainbows and gold stripes surrounding the entire thing. It has writing on the top saying 'For Twix and Dash, a little help for you'.
"What's this," I say acting all suspicious of his attitude. "Why are you giving us this CD?"
"Just put it in your laptop when you get back to the shack….Also Scootaloo wasn't your worst nightmare…..I AM," says the mysterious teenager in a familiar voice…..I REMEMEBER NOW! The phone when someone told me to follow Dash.
"WAIT, YOU'RE THE GUY WHO RANG MY MOBILE! HOW DID YOU GET MY NUMBER AND HOW DO YOU KNOW DASH WAS UPSET?"
"You will find all that out soon Matthew Alan Chase."
"How do you even know my real name?"
"Because Twix, I am all that ever was... You will soon find out"
"What do you mean?"
"Take this disc to Bill's and put it in his computer and have a look, oh and Jordan you can go home now, these two are done with your side of life. Also Twix and Dash say bye to him now seeing as you're not going to be too upset leaving him here"
"HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW"
"Because Twix, inner human is all you need to predict the future...oh and this disc will help too"
What the hell is this? He just throws a disc at us and says about the future and disappears? Earth...
"So guys now that he's gone what do we do? How did he even know us?"
"What do ya me...ohhh that guy...Well I'm glad he knew my name, who wouldn't want to know who Rainbow Dash is?"
"Uhhhhh humans, trolls"
"What's a troll?"
"Never mind, c'mon let's go to Bills"
"I...I can't"
"What do ya mean Jordy?"
"I have to go..."
So Jordan just happens to run off leaving our ropes dangling there. Me and Dash take off the horse blanket and fly to Bill's house with the disc in my mouth.
"I love you Twixy, I missed you," Dash calls out to me from ahead.
"I love you too Dashie, but what does this mean? Who was that guy?"
"I'm not sure, I think he might be spying on us"
"No, there was only me who happen...Wait...He sounded like the guy that rang me after I proposed to you...How would he know?"
Who IS this guy?
"Maybe he has been watching us all this time!"
"I dunno but I have a feeling this disc has something to do with it!"
"Can we please go faster?"
"Fine, follow my lead," I said picking up my speed and heard voices in my head 'you can do it Matt, just a little faster now'.
"What are we doing?"
"We're going to break Earth's sound barrier"
At that second I launch into full speed with Dash catching up to my side and looking over at me with a competitive smile and I flashed one back. By now we are both at full speed with dried out eyes and our cheeks filling up with wind until...BANG...It echoed all out the city breaking heaps of windows. We turn around to see two rainbows formed over a large cloud of mist. It looks even better on Earth. We concentrate back towards ahead to where Bill's house is and I realize that it's just up ahead a little so I wave Dash down pointing at it and ease up the grunt on the old wings. Dash does the same.
We fly up to his front door bashing it as hard as we could before anyone could see us. The door opened straight away to Derpy. Wow, she was human and looked...Normal?
"Hello? Horsies can I hel...RAINBOW DASH!"
"Hey...Derpy?"
"Yeah, it's been AGES"
"Yeah," Dash looks at me to try to change the subject before Derpy got too excited.
"Hey Derpy, ummm is Bill home? I need to talk to him"
"It's a little late isn't it?"
I give her a blank evil stare. she got the hint
"I'll go get him"
After a few seconds Bill walks out wearing a...a suite?
"Hey guys what's up?"
"Bill, we need your computer for a second!"
"Sure, did you meet Dizty?"
"Yeah, good to see you again to by the way Derpy," I say looking at shy human who hid behind Bill.
"You too"
"what do you guys need mah computer for?"
"This," I said spitting the disc out of my mouth "Some guy who knows everything about us gave it to me telling me to come here"
"Some people these days...I bet it's porn of him"
"I hope not, he seemed to know who we were"
"Well of course he would...You don't really seem to notice horses with wings walking through a city do ya?" He said with sarcasm in his voice.
"We had these horse blanket things on"
"In fact you guys had better come in before anyone sees you...Oh and Cassie's upstairs doing something for work"
"Wait...Bill I thought that when you were on dr..."
"Someone found her and took her to the hospital before it was too late. That cop you shot also lives to this day. He has retired and him and I keep in touch."
"What are you wearing a suit for?"
"Cause I feel like it"
"Dude, you don't just wear a suit around your house...They are expensive to replace...Aren't they?"
"Not when you earn a grand a week"
"WHAT? HOW?"
"I work at a hospital...In fact that's how I found out about Cassie and Jackson"
"Who's Jackson?"
"The cop you shot"
"Oh," I say looking down at the ground feeling bad for him and what I did "I hope I didn't leave him in a world of pain"
"No! You did a good thing! He is even more happier than ever before!"
"How?"
"He was on the news and everyone around the GLOBE did a fundraiser for him and his family and now their rich! He wants to meet you someday...But I don't think that'll be a good idea"
"Why not?"
"Cause YOU were the one who shot him with a gun"
"I swear I killed him...I saw his blood spray onto your face"
"Well, it's a miracle of what some people can live through"
"How are you now? Clean?"
"Obviously, the hospital wouldn't take me on if I was off my face and going to kill anyone now would they?"
"Yeah I guess...what do you do there?"
"I'm a surgeon"
"But you're onl...We're only seventeen now...How can you be a surgeon at that age?"
"I dunno, I guess I'm good at cutting things?"
"Well, congratulations"
"Have you got a job yet?"
"Job?"
"Yeah, in PonyVille"
"To be honest…..Not yet. I have just gotten Dashie to pay for me. Besides I don't really need to pay for anything just yet"
"What do you want to do?" Dash asks as she looked at my cutie mark
"Well seeing as I have a talent for music and flying….. I have no idea….I like music but I also like flying"
"HEY! Matt maybe you should see if Vinyl Scratch would accept you," Says Bill with wide eyes.
"Hmmm, I don't know yet…. Wait! I have been back at Earth for nearly a year now and I haven't seen you at all around school. How come?"
"Because I have a job now…..I dropped out"
"So what do you do Derpy?"
"I work at the post office"
Why couldn't I see that? After all she WAS a mail-mare back at PonyVille
"Oh nice….How are you liking Earth?"
"Well I don't know how many people think I look familiar seeing as I have blonde hair and gray skin but I shrug it off"
"Well Matt did you want to use the computer?"
"Yeah is that alright?"
"Yeah, also I forgot to tell you that me and Dizty are going out for dinner"
"Sure, is it alright if we stay here until you guys get back?"
"Yep, I was just about to ask that"
"Is it alright if I use the disc drive? Did you fix it after you thought it was a cup holder?"
"Yeah, I still can't believe I put a fricken cup on it"
"Well? Did you fix it?"
"Yeah"
As Dash and I walk to where Bill kept is computer I look around and notice everything looks different, but in a good way. His house doesn't smell like dog shit, his entire house is a lot cleaner and I have to admit…..He seems like he's in a better mood. I should ask him why he has changed all of a sudden…
"HEY BILL"
"YO"
"WHY IS YOUR HOUSE SO CLEAN? THERE'S USUALLY SHIT ALL OVER THE FLOOR"
"PROBABLY CAUSE DAD'S NOT HERE ANYMORE"
"BUT EVEN YOU SEEM IN A BETTER MOOD….WHY?"
"BECAUSE," He runs up to the door to talk to me face to face, "Because you nearly killing me had made me open my eyes."
"Yeah, Bill I'm really sorry about that…it was just an insanity moment when Das…."
"Look Twixy, you know that I grew jelous and I honestly thought that you wouldn't have done anything as to trying to kill your friend…..Why do you think I tried to stop him?"
"I saw him about to stab you"
"No I didn't"
"YES YOU DID!"
"No, Twix he didn't, you see when I'm really upset about something or I've given up all hope my mane tends to flatten out and cover my face….I couldn't see you and he was cutting it off for me"
"But your mane looks no different"
"So what?"
"So doesn't that prove that he didn't cut it?"
"Twix…You are an odd one aren't you...You keep forgetting that YOU are now magic…of course our manes grow back"
"Really? But then how come it isn't at your legs if it keeps growing?"
"Ok….Maybe you do don't quite catch what I'm getting at…The hair on our manes, tails and fur all grow back at the same length."
"Right…Anyways Bill I did have a moment of insanity I'm so sorry…..I feel terrible about what I did"
"Matt, if you didn't do that I wouldn't have opened my eyes about that crap now would I? I would still be trying to kill you and Dash….Also Dash I'm really sorry but you were pushing me…"
"Yeah, that's what I was trying to do!"
"Why?"
"So I could take you out but I clearly failed"
Well that's a clear example of Dash being Dash….Out there and good hearted.
"It's ok cause I don't care anymore…. In fact I'm glad that you tried to kill me….I would NEVER want to harm any of you amazing ponies ever again… It's so scary facing death," I think Bill is wanting to change the subject seeing as he's just looking at the ground in slight guilt, "who knew how good Derpy could be"
"What do ya mean good?"
"I don't mean as in friendship or lovey dovey but she doesn't seem like she lacks brains in the bedroom"
"Well Bill, I have to give you that….at least she's human but I thought you like the ponies…"
"NO!" I can tell he's trying to cover it up so Dashie didn't realise "No….No offence"
"It's ok Bill, cause I'm a pony now myself"
"Whatever, me and Derps….Dit are off now…..Cyas"
"Cyas, thanks again for this"
"No problem"
As Bill walked out I booted up the computer and put the disc in carefully trying not to scratch it….Success.
