When I woke up, it was after school, and I was being carried by Raymond.
"Ummm…" I said. "What the heck are you doing?" I asked.
Raymond immediately set me down on the ground. "You're finally awake, THANK THE LORD!" He said.
I scratched my head, and remembered I had to get back to Derpy. "CRAP! Raymond, how will I get Derpy to your place?" I yelled at him.
Raymond sighed and pointed down. I looked down and saw that Derpy was beside my legs. I sighed a relieving sigh. I then realized that Raymond must have carried me from the school to my house, and back near the school. My jaw dropped, my eyes widened, and I looked at Raymond, who had just realized I realized that he just carried me maybe 13 miles or something like that.
"Uh… Yeah… I don't know how…" Raymond said smiling with his two front teeth sticking out.
"Okay… Can we just go?" I asked him.
"Okay, whatever you say." Raymond said, in a weird, inhaling voice.
We spent the next 30 minutes walking over to Raymond's house. By the time we got there, it was 5:32PM. Raymond told me to wait in the sunroom for a second so he could find Rainbow Dash. I waited for a couple seconds then somepony appeared in the room. I couldn't quite figure out who it was until it tackled me.
"Who the fudge are you?" It said to me.
I was able to figure out who it was in a matter of seconds. It was Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier in all of Equestira. Not earth though, not yet.
"Whoa, Whoa, WHOA! Take it easy Rainbow Dash. I'm Raymond's new friend, and I also brought you a friend too." I told Rainbow Dash.
She looked at me straight into my eyes, almost like she stared into my soul, very similar to what Raymond did before. Derpy was very confused onto what was happening. What she would call her guardian, was just tackled by a small cyan blur with wings, and a rainbow mane and tail. Now, he's getting stared at by the cyan blur. Derpy, being Derpy, thought that there was something where the cyan thing was looking. She tried to look where she was, but she couldn't. Her cross eyed eyes were making it so she couldn't see a darn thing.
Rainbow Dash got off of me and asked me. "So, if your friends with Raymond, then where is he?" Rainbow Dash asked me.
I just realized that she was actually talking to me; I guess she must've learned early. "He's inside looking for you." I told her, and her eyes widened up.
"He is?! Oh NO!" Rainbow Dash yelled, and somehow, I don't know how, but she opened the door, and went inside the house.
I could hear Raymond, telling Rainbow Dash calmly to stay inside. I also heard something about a brony seeing her, taking her, and doing stuff to her. I covered Derpys ears as soon as I heard brony. She doesn't need to know about it. I also noticed Raymond didn't tell her what 'brony' meant. I was going to just tell rainbow dash myself what it meant, but then I remembered, Rainbow Dash and Derpy aren't from our world. Plus, their just fillys, Maybe just 5 or 4 years old, they don't need to know, not yet.
Raymond finally let me in, and Derpy went in first. Rainbow Dash immediately saw Derpy, and Derpy saw her. They both walked up to each other and looked at each other. They didn't even know they're the same race. I had to tell them that they were both Pegasus Ponies and that they should get to be friends.
"My mom won't be home until 8:00PM, sooo… Yeah." Raymond looked down a bit.
"Does your mom know about Rainbow Dash?" I asked him quietly.
"No. She would go berserk, so I can't tell her. Same goes for you. You HAVE to keep your mouth shut about this." Raymond told me, quietly.
"Okay, but she's bound to find out some day… What if I ask her about it?" I insisted.
"No. I'll do it. Hopefully she keeps her cool." Raymond said, manning up enough to admit himself.
I nodded. Raymond said I can have his sisters' room, since she moved out. When I got some pillows in there, for me and Derpy, I went over to Raymonds room to ask him if he had any extra blankets. But I stopped at his doorway; I could hear him telling Rainbow Dash about something about… Pros and Hackers vs. Noobs? No, that's not possible. That game was banned almost 20 years ago. How is he here? He was telling her something about him dying in the game, and coming back to life. Then he was apparently turned into a… Dragon, human-like thing? I am so confused, I don't know what he is talking about, that he was the hero of all the people that were transported into that game. Derpy could also hear him, she was beside me, listening to Raymond speak. He had to break into his own base, met a guy with numbers for a name, and… He stopped there.
I opened the door as soon as he finished the story with Rainbow Dash. His eyes were opened wide, I think he was scared about something.
"How much of that did you hear?" Raymond asked me.
"Ummm… I started listening after you said you died and came back to life."
His eyes got even bigger. I know now he's scared about something… I just don't know what. He told me to sit down, and I did as he told.
He started talking after a few minutes of silence. "You shouldn't have heard that… That crap right there, is top secret. If anyone finds out that I am the one who saved all those who survived, through the end." He paused for a long time. "There will not be good things to come. I heard it on my final breath in that world. At the time, I had defeated the virus that wouldn't let us leave. I had help too. From my pals, the ones that helped the most were Mr. Pro, Mr. Hacker, Mr. Miner, Mr. Wizard, and Sonic. Yes, you heard me right, Sonic the hedgehog. When we defeated the virus everyone started to leave the world, returning home, returning to their loved ones, returning to the place we haven't seen in about 10 years. Except for me, I was the last one to leave. I had to say goodbye, to the place that I loved. I had gotten so used to it, that I just had to say my goodbyes. When I was going to say goodbye to the Pros and Hackers Base, God appeared behind me, saying how hard it was to leave a place you have survived on for the past 10 years. He had gotten rid of all memory of all the people who came there and all they can remember is coming there, and leaving. That's all, but I was different. God knew I wanted to remember everything from here, so he let me only, have all of my memories of being there. It's a memories protected by God, So I can't ever forget. I then thanked him, for bringing him back to life, giving him the ability to breathe fire, and the ability to remember everything that has happened there. But he told me if I told anyone, who would spread it to someone else, expect the worse." Raymond said, finally finishing.
I was in shock. I had nothing to say, neither does Rainbow Dash, and Derpy didn't know how to talk yet. I looked down, and then up again, to see that Raymond was holding 2 blankets. He told me that when I found Derpy should be her birthday, and I agreed. I tried to cheer him up, but it didn't work. He told me to leave him alone and to shut up about what he had heard today. I nodded in agreement.
I sat on my side of the room, were my pillows were. But, Derpy wanted to sit beside me, I knew because I kept on telling her to go to her pillow, she disagreed. Finally, not wanting to hurt the fillies feelings, said she could sit beside me. I almost forgot to give her water; she hasn't had any all day today. I quickly went to the kitchen and got a bowl. I'm guessing she would act like a dog or a cat or something. Then I showed her the bowl, even she knew what I was thinking. I looked down, and frowned, and put the bowl away. I opened the cup cabinet, and she immediately pointed to one of the cups. I took it, made sure it wasn't dirty, and I put cold water in it. Derpy somehow, I don't know how, but she actually picked up the thing with her 2 front hooves and drank the entire glass of water. I was shocked how easy it was for her. She smiled and I smiled back, even though I bet she couldn't see me.
Raymond on the other hand, was kind of a little scared. Rainbow Dash was doing her best to support him, Raymond thanked her, but he was still scared. Rainbow Dash then asked the most life changing question of her life.
"Raymond, who's Sonic?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Raymond sighed. "Do you really want to know?" Raymond asked her back.
"Well duh! If I didn't care then why would I ask?" Rainbow Dash said sarcastically.
"Well you got a point. Okay, but don't come running up to me if you start having nightmares." Raymond told her, giving her one last chance to turn back and not have to know what Sonic is.
"Just tell me!" Rainbow Dash said impatiently.
"Okay! Well… Sonic is very fast, like super, super, fast. He's the fastest thing alive. That means he's better than you at being fast." Raymond told Rainbow Dash.
The fillies' eyes started twitching. Raymond could tell she was going to explode. He got prepared beforehand too before telling her about Sonic. He put on some earphones, then very big head phones, and finally, pushed against the head phones with his hands.
Rainbow Dash started screaming so loud, Raymonds earphones, headphones, and hands pushing against the headphones trick didn't work, when Rainbow Dash stopped screaming, he couldn't hear a thing. His ears slowly recovered and he finally could hear Rainbow Dash again.
"HOW COULD HE BE FASTER?! OR BETTER AT ME AT SOMETHING?!" Rainbow Dash yelled in Raymonds face.
"Hehe… Funny story… You see, he spent his entire life basically running, which that makes you faster at running. Like how if you use your wings a lot, you could get faster than him, but you need to go faster than the speed of sound." Raymond responded nervously.
"Wait wait wait, so if you just flipping use musceles in your body they get stronger and faster?" Rainbow Dash asked as she got off of Raymond.
"Yeah, it works on every living thing." I answered her.
Raymonds mom finally arrived home. Raymond knew what he had to do. He went over to his mom and asked her to sit down. We both decided not to show her the ponies only if she didn't believe us, or if she's calmed down enough. Raymond wanted me to stay inside and not come outside in the sunroom. I told him okay, and I waited for a response from him, nothing. I decided it would be best to see what the heck was going on out there. Then I saw some uninvited guests.
"Holy crap…" I said to myself.
I saw 2 bullies from my school. But what really left me in shock was that Raymond was fist fighting one of them. I don't know what the heck they did to tick off Raymond that much, or how they got in there, but I could tell he's taken one heck of a beating. The kid he was fighting had barely any bruises, or anything. Raymond, on the other hand, had bruises, wounds, and was bleeding.
Raymond spat out some blood. "C'mon, that's all you got?" Raymond taunted the guy he was fighting.
I came through the door to the sunroom. "What the heck is going on in here?!" I yelled, as I came through the door.
"Oh goody, another challenger!" The bully who was watching Raymond get his butt kicked said.
"Wait… Wha-." I was cut off short because the bully punched me.
I looked straight at him; he had no idea what he just did. For my age, I'm very strong. Just no one ever takes the time to notice. I punched him back, and he went back towards the wall. I walked up to him, and gripped his throat, and started to punch him again. I stopped after 30 seconds, just so he wouldn't die. He dropped to the floor as soon as I let him go. I looked over to Raymond, which looks like he's dead. I had no idea where his mom went, but I didn't care right now. I ran up to Raymond, and grabbed his shoulders, and pushed him aside. The bully who was beating Raymond turned his attention to me. He tried to punch me, but I dodged it, and hit him with an uppercut to the face. He fell to the ground, and surrendered. I still kicked him as hard as I could in the stomach. The two bullies ran off in defeat. I asked Raymond if he was okay, he said he was fine.
"My mom ran off when the bullies started to fight me." Raymond said, after I questioned him about where his mom was. "She is also okay with the ponies from another universe. I just hope she's calm when she sees them."
"Oh I'm pretty sure she will be calm." I said. Hopefully what I said was correct.
Just then, Raymonds mom came into the sunroom, she looked at her son.
"Oh no… Raymond, you're hurt awfully bad!" Raymonds mom told Raymond.
"Don't worry about it," Raymond said, while spitting out some blood.
"I called 911, they should be here any minute" Said Raymonds mom.
Raymond looked at her with disbelief. He went inside, and came back out with a red glass. He pointed to the glass and drank it all. His wounds, bruises, and his bleeding all stopped in a blink of an eye. I just don't know how he did that, unless…
"Hey, Raymond?" I asked Raymond.
"Yeah Dan?" He asked me back.
"Is that a potion, from the… 'You know what' world?" I asked him.
"Yep!" Raymond said.
I nodded, and went back to my room, like nothing happened. Of course, the police and crap came, Raymonds mom explained to them what happened, and there was evidence that it happened, there was blood all over the sunroom floor, and Raymond even gave them an example of the healing potion. He first, drank another potion that made him not feel pain, and he grabbed a knife, and cut his arm off. Then, he quickly drank the whole healing potion, and his entire arm that he cut off grew back and all the blood veins, and the bones were all intact. The police asked Raymond were he got these potions, but Raymond refused. He told them that he didn't want to talk about it. But I think he still ended up giving the potion that makes you feel no pain to them. Raymonds mom still had to pay $500 Dollars since there was nothing wrong when the police got here. We got off easy because we had a good explanation why.
I went to bed shortly after, I made Derpy eat some apples instead of muffins, and I also gave her some water. I let Derpy play with Rainbow Dash some more, after she finished eating. I talked to Raymond about his little adventure in the other world. He had a lot to say. Once it was 9:00PM, I told Derpy it was time for bed. I told Raymond goodnight, and I could see how flipping tired he was. I went to my room with Derpy and shut off the lights. Remembering that Derpy was scared off the dark, I turned the lights back on quickly, and turned on a lamp in the room. I flipped the light switch, and the only light in the room was the lamp. I went over my pillows, and laid down. We had to sleep on pillows until Raymonds mom could buy us actually beds. Then I remembered something, we didn't show Raymonds mom the ponies. I got up and headed out the door. Derpy, got up and wondered what I was doing. I told her to stay put, and that I would be right back.
I opened up Raymonds door, and I walked over to Raymond, who was up on his computer. He was on omegle or some site like that. Raymond looked over to me, wondering why I was in his room. I told Raymond that we forgot to show his mom the ponies, and he sprung up.
"Oh yeah! HEY MOM!" Raymond yelled.
Raymonds mom came into his room, and Raymond showed his mom the ponies.
She was speechless. She didn't know what to say.
"Dan, go get Derpy, I'll introduce my mom to Dashie." Raymond told me.
I nodded, and went to go get Derpy. I found her looking at a bug, or at least trying to. Her cross eyed eyes make it hard for her. I asked her to come with me, she did as I told her to, and she saw Raymonds mom looking at Rainbow Dash. Raymond had already told her to not tell anyone, and Raymond and I both hope she keeps her mouth shut. Raymonds mom turned around and saw Derpy. She had a weird looking face, and I could tell she wanted to ask me why she is crossing eyed. I signaled a shut up hand motion to her.
"Well, this is Derpy; she is the other Pegasus pony we found." I told Raymonds mom.
Derpy stared at her, and she stared back. I am guessing she's waiting for a response.
"She can't talk yet, so we will have to know what she's saying by actions. You know, actions speak louder than words." I told Raymonds mom.
Derpy looked at her, and then me. She was so confused, how come Raymonds mom was bigger than Dan, how come they weren't the same size? How come Raymond has a bed and she has a pillow? How come she can't go to sleep yet? When will she be able to talk? When will she be able to fly? Derpy knew these questions will be answered once she can talk.
"Well, Dan and Derpy should get some sleep." Rainbow Dash said.
Raymond nodded and so did I, and even Derpy did. I laughed a little, everyone in the room just nodded silently, it was kind of funny. I went into my room, with Derpy, and went to sleep. Derpy went to sleep too.
Raymond, however, was up almost all night researching something. He was researching the history people knew about Pros and Hackers vs. Noobs. He couldn't find much, but he knew that still, no one knew about what happened in there, which was good.
"Hey, Raymond?" Rainbow Dash asked Raymond.
It was about 11:30, and Raymond was still wide awake.
"Yes, Dashie?" Raymond asked Rainbow Dash.
"What does Sonic look like? Does he look like me?" The young Pegasus pony asked him.
"He doesn't look like you at all. He's a blue hedgehog, not cyan. Here, let me get a picture of him." Raymond told Dashie.
Raymond went onto Google images, and searched Sonic. He clicked on the first picture of sonic. Rainbow Dash came up beside him.
Rainbow Dash stared at sonic. She didn't see how that thing could be so fast.
"How is that thing the fastest thing alive?" Rainbow Dash asked Raymond.
Raymond sighed. He decided to just show her his game of Sonic Unleashed, and do a day level. Night levels are just slow paced, and boring. He did one he was really good at, and could go at full speed.
Rainbow Dash was stunned, and she knew why he was the fastest thing alive. She sighed, and turned off my PS2. She then went to sleep on Raymonds bed. Raymond, being nice to her, grabbed some pillows and slept on the floor.
