Hey guys, i'm not dead. I've just been off in the clouds with Dash. Actually, instead of typing fanfics and doing school assignments, i've had my head concentrating on my special sompony (real life). I have been typing heaps of this fanfic at the same time but never had the motivation to upload the chapters. I'll let you know now though, i'm loving this fanfic and you'll see how far i've come from the first chapter of 'The Day I Woke Up In PonyVille' to the end of this one (no i haven't finished typing it, and i don't really want to). I'm super sorry for the delay (about 2 months or so :P ) but my girlfriend has been on my mind the entire time and i've got other stuff on my head (like music for example, i haven't uploaded any of my good work to YouTube though, but i still enjoy using sequencers)... Now hoping you read this instead of want to kill me for the epic delay, without further ado, i give you Chapter 5 - A New Game.
"So, let's find out what this shit is"
"Did you notice it has stripes like yours?"
"Not really"
But now I think about it, it does look familiar to my coat...Something tells me this isn't any normal disc.
Everything boots up successfully and I access the disc through 'My Computer' and notice it has text on it... 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic TWIX EDITION'. I don't know what this means but i have a feeling we are gonna find out.
"Dash, read this," I say pointing at the screen while she plays with her wings by opening them and closing them as quick as she could.
"Read what?"
"Here, on the screen does it say My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic TWIX EDITION to you?"
"Yeah, open it"
So i do and it was something completely different than what i thought. It's a game. My heart starts to pound...My mind is rushing with questions...WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? SOME CREEP WALKS UP TO ME AND GIVES ME A GAME WITH MY NAME ON IT? WHO IS THIS GUY?
"DASH WHY HAVEN'T YOU SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THAT GUY HAVING YOUR CUTIE MARK ON HIS JUMPER? WHY DID I WAKE UP IN THE BED BEFORE I CAME BACK HERE? WHY ..."
"What's wrong with you?"
"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!"
"Settle Twix...No pony did anything wrong"
"Ugh, sorry Dash...Just an overreaction"
I don't know what that was about...I feel better now.
The game finally loaded up to its main menu...It has the theme song from the show and everything...The only choice i can make is 'Play Game'. So i click on it. It says it's gonna be about an hour to load? Huh, big game i guess.
"So Dash, how's Daybreak and Scootaloo going?"
"They're fine…I just wish that Daybreak lived with us still"
"What you mean he's m….WHAT? HE MOVED OUT?"
"Well, yeah…"
"I was only gone for a year or so"
"Well, maybe there is a time difference between these two worlds…. I dunno"
It's just occurred to me…I never explained what Daybreak looks like. I normally would write anything down in this mental diary in my head, but never what my own son looked like. Let's see… He has a deep blue coat, he has a black and gold mane…obviously from me, and well…That's about it, other than the fact he has red eyes like Dash's. He is a Pegasus….of course.
"How far have they gone?"
"What do ya mean?"
"Have they gone as far as us?"
"Us?"
"You….know…..UNTISS," I don't think she gets my hint of asking if they've had sex yet…I thought Daybreak looks like an honest pony and might tell her it… I dunno though. I know kids at school that just go around screaming it out while their girlfriends' are trying to cover their faces...
"Untiss?"
"Ugh, have they had sex yet?"
"HOW THE FUCK WOULD I KNOW?"
"Cause you have spent more time with them than I have"
"SO WHAT? WHY WOULD I ASK MY SON IF HE'S HAD SEX?"
"Well….You do make a good point," I have to admit….you don't just ask your son if he's had sex…
"Damn straight I do!"
"What do you think this could be," I asked referring back to the computer monitor "I think it's a bit weird"
"Y…..Yeah"
"What are you doing?"
I notice she's still trying to open her wings and close them fast
"I'm….Trying to….See how fast….I can open and…..Close my wings"
"Well, I gathered that…but why?"
"Dunno"
"It looks like when I tried to open my wings for the first time...And you sai..."
"And I said it looks like you were constipated...ahh, fun times"
"It looks like YOU'RE the constipated one now"
I turn back to the monitor and see it says something… 'Welcome Twix and Rainbow Dash, since this is your first time playing this game…and yes. It is a game. I am a very talented person you know? No of course you don't… Since this is your first time playing this game I will be your text guide throughout this adventure you will have. Also try not to make any mistakes. They will affect you emotionally. Sincerely, Matt….Before you get into your magical relations and stuff….I am not impersonating you Matthew Alan Chase but I have a similar name to yours….you will find out why.'
I have no idea what this means but I know it really can't be good! I read it aloud to Dash and she looks puzzled as soon as I say her name.
"What does this guy know about us?"
I don't know what to tell her that won't leave me nervous about clicking 'Continue'.
"I dunno but let's find out"
I click the "Continue' button and it flashes yellow…Similar to when I passed out back on Earth.
It speaks in a deepened voice.
"Welcome, I understand that you are wondering who I am? That kid that gave you this disc was probably me or maybe a paid person to make a very VERY important delivery. Back to the task at hand. Twix I understand that you are paying the most attention and that Dash is behind you trying to open and close her wings but I need you both to pay attention," Dash stopped with a puzzled look on her face and walked up next to me "Thank you Dash. Now, there is going to be a disaster in PonyVille but it will affect Earth as well. I recommend you stay over at Bill's tonight. Him and Ditzy Doo will allow you to sleep in their guestroom. Now, daybreak is safe back at PonyVille with Scootaloo and Kim but if you go back to PonyVille without finishing the first chapter of this game they will all die. Your first task is to complete questions about your friends…Simple right? NO! If you make an incorrect answer they will face…..Let's just say….Make a wrong choice and it will affect them in their physical form. I'm not a bad person. In fact you should be glad that I made this disc for you Twix. Don't be scared, I'm here to help you….And this is my only contact with you at this moment. You will find out who I am. Here is the first task press Continue to start" The voice disappears with an evil yet familiar sounding laugh. I click 'Continue' and a screen pops up with heaps of questions on it similar to a survey of some kind. I fill them out with as much help I could from Dash.
'Question 1. What is your full name?'
My answer is obvious 'Matthew Alan Chase'.
'Question 2. Does Rainbow Dash have any sisters?'
I looked at Dash to confirm the answer and she gave a slight nod. 'No'
Question 3. Who is AppleJack's younger sister?
AppleBloom
Question 4. Why do you love Dash so much?
That is one question I have no idea the answer of. I really liked Dash back when I was a hu…..i got it!
'Because she is a forgiving and kind yet arrogant pony who anyone or any pony could fall in love with'
Question 5. You have done well to get this far but don't expect anything easy from now….What do you hope for your future with Dash? Do you wish to be; happy or disappointed?
Happy
Then the voice comes back again.
"Well done you two…Although Dash you could have done some more work. I know what you are doing all the time. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be sitting in a room with open mouth so don't even question my capabilities. Just accept the fact that I know everything about you and what you're thinking. Dash disagrees with your option Twix, question 5. 'Happy'….She's wishing more. Don't speak Dash or Twix. I don't want you to interrupt this. Oh did I tell you that this isn't recorded? No I didn't…Let me explain. I am using a voice disguiser as you can tell and I am watching you. Don't try to look into the sky to see if you can spot me because you can't…It's almost as if I'm you. I will update you in an anonymous manner. You have done very well containing your fears and horrors. Now you must stay there at Bill's until morning… I know that you're going to even though you will argue of it. I don't care how you react but you will do what I say, no matter what. If I want you to do something you WILL do it! There will be an incident when Bill and Ditzy arrive. So just stay in that room until it all passes…I recommend you do. If you want to disobey my orders than fine….that's your choice. Derpy will be upset at Bill over a small matter of their dinner. It won't last long. Goodbye and make sure that you DO NOT go back to PonyVille tonight!!"
With that the voice ends.
"Well, that was…..different," Dash says with a hint of smile in her cheeks.
"Wh...What was that? Who is this guy?"
Just then the game ejected out of the disc tray and fell onto the floor in flames.
"Huh, never thought I'd see something like that in my life"
"Did...Did that disc just burst into flames?"
"Yep"
"Look Dash, I don't know WHO this creep is but we better do what he wants...He might have some magical power over us for all we know"
Dash simply nods back.
"Yeah, but he said we should stay in here until Bill and Derpy stop fighting or something"
"Yeah and?"
"I wanna see what he knows or means"
"Why?"
"Cause I just do"
"Oh, what did he mean when he said about you not being happy with my answer?"
"I was wanting more than happy, I want us to be loving and forever together"
"Well I was only answering a simple question….I wasn't saying my feelings over something like this"
"Twix, if he knows what we look like and who we are he probably knows how you feel about me"
"True, true"
"Well, Twix, I really love you…. I'm not saying this as in fiancé to fiancé love I mean…. I dunno…"
"What?"
"I…Ugh, fine. I have liked you even more since you're back for good"
"Wait, I'm not back for good just yet"
"WHAT? You're staying at PonyVille when we go back!"
"Look Dash, I want to stay because of you, mum, Daybreak and Scootaloo"
"I know but why do you want to ….wait stay? Don't you mean go back? We're on Earth"
"Yeah whatever…Anyway let me say, I think that…."
BANG, the front door slammed shut to people screaming.
"I DON'T CARE HOW FUCKING RICH YOU ARE, YOU DON'T JUST TIP THE WAITER A FORTY"
"AND WHY NOT? WHAT'S THE HARM?"
"BILL, WE HAVE OVER FIVE HUNDRED BUCKS ON THE REGO"
Rego? What shoes she mean rego? They don't have a car do they? Since when do they need to pay registration?
I look to Dash who's just lying on the floor making a little beat with her hooves to her face.
"Dash, I think we should go outside for a bit"
"But that guys sa…"
"I don't care who the hell he is, if he's gonna threaten us with anything he might as well be right"
"Fine, but you go first"
I open the door and walk downstairs and see Bill and Derpy arguing….like Matt said, over something that happened over dinner.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"Oh Bill the rich guy thought it was a good idea to tip a horrible waiter a forty!"
"SO WHAT? Look Dit," Derpy liked being call Dit "I don't care how much you would but it's done and dusted now, I can't change it"
"Ugh, what would you do Rainbow Dash?"
"Ummm, Twix?"
I think that now is a good time to change the subject.
"Derpy, how do you like Earth?"
"It's not as nice as I hoped but it's got some nice pon…people here"
"Ah so I'm not the only one who gets confused by those two phrases?"
"I guess not. Even though it's been a few months I still get confused"
"Well I got Daybreak to say it now"
"Who?"
"Daybreak"
"Who's Daybreak?"
Dash just head butted my flank hinting me to explain
"Daybreak is our son"
"Wait, how is he?" Bill interrupts
"Well, from what I have seen of him now he's about 10 years old and nearly Dash and my height"
"What do ya mean, seen of him now?"
"I have been back here on Earth for the past few months"
"WAIT WHAT? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Cause I thought you were still in PonyVille, I thought you were gonna move in with Derpy…No offence Ditzy…I think it's easier for me so please don't be offended if it slips out"
"It's alright"
"No Matt, we were going to come back here I thought I told you"
"No"
"Oh, well now you know, what did you come back here for? Did you come as well Rainbow Dash?"
"No I didn't, and Bill you can call me Dash…I'm not formal and I don't care"
"Ok"
"No, I wanted to finish school and then I was going to go back"
"Why would you finish school? You already know your talent is flying and music"
"Is that what it is," I ask looking at it realizing that it truly was what Bill explained.
"Obviously, we both know the lightning bolt is like Dash's and her one means flying…Doesn't it Dash?"
"Yeah"
With saying that Bill felt proud of himself knowing he knew something about me that I didn't.
"Bill, that thing we wanted the computer for…It's ok but I have something to tell you"
I think I can tell Bll…Should I? Why not?
"Someone is watching me and Dash"
"Who?"
"I don't know but his name is Matt"
"What makes you think he's watching you two?"
"Because if you upstairs and look next to your computer you'll see ashes of a burnt disc"
Bill runs upstairs to find a CD burnt and yells at the top of his lungs
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE IN HERE? DID YOU SMOKE SOMETHING? WHAT DID YOU BURN?"
I ran upstairs to be able to talk to him face to face. Derpy and Dashie just stayed downstairs talking.
"Bill, someone named Matt says he knows everything about us. He called my mobile when I was at PonyVille and told me to follow Dash he said she was upset…He was right she was. He knew who we were when Jordan led us …"
"Jordan? Oh shit, I was meant to help him with his homework today…Fuck! Where is he?" Bill says holding his head in his hands accepting the fact that there was a pile of ash dirtying his room and being told his friend is being stalked.
"He's a pussy, he ran"
"What do you mean he ran?"
"He was coming here with me and dash, we had those horse blanket things on to cover our wings, but there was a guy about the same age as us…er….you, and he approached us announcing my name. He knew I could talk and I was Sunflower Twix and he gave us a disc which turned out to be a game called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic TWIX EDITION, it asked questions like what is Dash's full name. We still don't know why or what it's from but all we know is that he knows who we are and where we are. He told me and Dash to stay here the night and that if we go back to PonyVille tonight mum, Daybreak and Scootaloo will die"
"Did you catch a glimpse of this guy? I think I've seen someone on the corner of my eye just outside the city"
"He had a black robe on and looked like he was trying to cover his face"
"YES! HIM! I see him every day!"
"Where?"
"In the same place as always… just outside of the city…where did you see him?"
"Outside the city as well"
I think Bill really HAS changed…Maybe his dad dying did make an impact on his life. I'm surprised I haven't seen Cassie yet… I hope she's ok…Anyways I better get my mind back to this conversation with Bill.
"You alright bro?"
I look up to his concerned face
"What do ya mean Bill?"
"You're just….Quiet"
"Well I think there's something wrong with Dash"
"What do ya mean?"
"She isn't herself….She's loving, caring…."
"Isn't that want anyone would want?"
"Well….Yes, but I fell in love with the Dash from the show… Her pranks and her being slightly arrogant… I miss her Bill…I miss the TV her. I dunno Bill; it's just not what I thought of"
"You mean she's not what you thought from the show and you're finally realizing it and you're thinking of ending this with her?"
"Well…..Yeah kinda… I want to go back and at the same time I wanna finish school…I want to break up with her but I don't at the same time. I can't leave Dash, mum and Daybreak there and I still love Dash and I know I would NEVER break up with her"
"Do you want to know something?"
"Like what?"
"I have thought the same thing about Derpy"
"Don't you mean Dit?"
"No, I'd rather call her Derpy she would rather me saying Dit"
"So the same thing is with you? You think you and she will get along perfectly but when the time has come it's all different"
"Yeah"
"What do I…WE do, bro?"
"What do ya mean?"
Thanks again for still following, and the chapters ARE getting longer!
