Hey everybody. I'm glad to see that I have so many reviews in under a week (Over 100 so far). I hope that everyone liked the double chapter that I did yesterday. I won't be posting this weekend, as there will be a choice for my character that the readers need to decide. I will check the reviews on Monday to see what the choice is and will write a chapter based on the most amount of answers. Anyway enough talk. Chapter time!
Chapter sixBeep.
Beep.
Beep.
I woke up to that annoying sound and looked around to find the source of it. My vision was blurred and everything in the room was shaky, I was lay on a bed on my back in a white room. As my vision started to clear I saw a monitor to the side of me which was releasing the constant beeping, as I looked at it more closely I realized that it was a heart monitor. It showed 75 beats per minute. I knew exactly where I was from looking at that monitor.
"Oh great, the fucking hospital. I just came from here not a day ago." I thought as I struggled into a sitting position. Not long had I sat up when the door burst open and a cyan blur ran through and jumped on my chest. I looked in surprise at Rainbow Dash who was hugging me as tight as she could.
'Oh Ethan, I'm so glad that you're ok.' She said into my chest. I stroked her mane.
'Don't worry Dash, you can see for yourself that I'm fine.' I told her soothingly, although it seemed to not comfort her. She shook her head.
'But that's just it Ethan, you're not ok. Have you even moved yet?' I shook my head in response to her question. I picked her up from my chest and set her down on the floor, I swung my legs around the side of the bed after taking off all of the wires that were attached to me, I stood up and looked down at Rainbow triumphantly.
'See I told you I was fine.' I told her and playfully nudging her with my right arm. She shook her head again and looked into my eyes, something in that look made me feel the exact opposite instantly. I walked over to the other side of the room and stood in front of the full-length mirror that stood up on the wall. I gagged at the sight that I got from the mirror. All of the flesh from my back had either been torn right off or had been cut into deeply. My left arm was slightly off at the shoulder but apart from that it was fine. I turned back to Rainbow Dash who was now sat on the bed. She crossed her front hooves.
'See, I told you. Your not fine.' She said back to me and I stuck my bottom lip out in a pout.
'Ok I'm not fine, but I'm still leaving and looking after you and nothing is going to stop me.' I folded my arms over my chest. I looked around at the door and pointed at it.
'Are the others out there?' I asked her, still gesturing at the door. She nodded and got off the bed to walk over to where I was stood. I opened the door for Rainbow and followed her out and down the hallway, when we got to the waiting room I saw that the only ponies that were there were my friends.
"Hm, the hospital must be pretty empty. It must be rare to have any accidents in Ponyville." I thought to myself. The first pony to come over was Fluttershy. She came up to me and rubbed her head on my head caringly.
'How are you Ethan? I hope you aren't hurt too bad, when I saw you and Rainbow falling I ran to get help before we checked on you.' She said, looking up at me as she did so.
'It's ok Fluttershy, I'm perfectly fine.' I said to her. I saw Rainbow Dash looking angrily at me. I rubbed the back of my head.
'Well, almost fine.' I looked at the rest of my friends but noticed two absent.
'Hey guys, where's Twilight and Pinkie?' I asked them all. Rarity was the one who answered me.
'Pinkie Pie didn't join us because she insisted on throwing a get well soon party. And Twilight very rudely cut me off in the middle of telling her what happened when she shut the door in my face.' She stomped her hoof on the ground in frustration. I looked at each of them separately. Rainbow was sat down by the window and looking at the sky, Rarity was mumbling to herself, Fluttershy was sitting next to me and Applejack was sat next to Rainbow Dash looking at me. I went over and sat next to Applejack.
'Hey Applejack, how have you been?' I asked her politely. I had hardly spoken to her for the two and a half weeks that I had been here now.
'Howdy Ethan, ah know that ah haven't spoken to ya much at all over the weeks that ya been here. But do you think you got a little time afterwards to talk to me?' I looked at her a little before looking over at Rainbow Dash who was sat next to Applejack.
'Uhm, I don't know AJ. I mean I have to look after Rainbow and I would like to get something sorted. Do you think we can arrange something for early tomorrow morning?' she nodded.
'I'll be up 'round five doin' mah work in the orchard. Ask little Applebloom to show ya where ahm workin' she'll know.' I nodded to Applejack before she bid her goodbyes to everyone and left. Next was Rarity then Fluttershy. Rainbow and me were the only ones that were left in the waiting room. I turned to her.
'Dash, do you want to go and help Pinkie with the party planning? Because I have something I need to do first before we head back. Besides, when was the last time you saw her.' I said to Rainbow. She turned to me and spoke.
'Yeah, I guess it has been a while.' She said before jumping up. She walked off towards the main exit when she called back to me.
'I'll met you up later at Twi's house. Bye!' I watched as she left. I got up and headed back to my room where all of my stuff was. I found my shirt on the back of a chair and quickly pulled it over my head. I checked out of the hospital and headed out towards Twilight's house. I had something to settle with her.
Twilight's house, 4:14 PMWhen I arrived at Twilight's front door I knocked on the door lightly before Spike answered.
'Hey Spike, is Twilight here?' I asked the small purple dragon. He nodded and beckoned me inside with a gesture of his hand. I walked inside and the door closed softly.
'Hey Ethan, yeah she's here. She's upstairs studying. How are you by the way? Last I heard was that you got hurt pretty bad.' I looked at him before responding.
'Don't worry about me, I'm tough I can take a lot more than a simple fall.' I said before running up the steps to Twilight's room. I knocked on the door and opened it when I heard a response. I walked through the door and saw Twilight surrounded by a pile of books. She looked towards me.
'E-E-Ethan what are you doing here? Aren't you injured?' she asked me as she got up on all four hooves and walked over to me.
'Well yeah I'm injured but I'm perfectly fine. As for what I am doing here I came to speak with you.' I told her while looking around at absolutely nothing. I looked over at the pile of books that Twilight had been reading through. I pointed at them.
'What are you studying now? Some spells that can be so dangerous that they can destroy all of Equestria?' I started walking over to the pile of books before Twilight got in my way.
'Uhm. No. Nothing interesting over there that you might want to see. Hehe.' I picked Twilight up and placed her behind me facing the other way and walked quickly towards the books. I picked up the one that she was reading and looked at the cover.
"The science of love"
I managed to hold in my laughter and looked towards Twilight who was lightly blushing.
'Twilight you do know that there is no science behind love right?' I asked her and she blushed harder.
'There has to be some explanation to it though.' I shook my head at her and she tilted her head a little.
'Not a single one?' I shook my head again. I walked over to where she stood and knelt down so I was at her height.
'Twilight what's this all about?' I asked her. She looked at me and then quickly looked away and mumbled something.
'Twilight. This is obviously something that's troubling you. So go ahead and tell me.' She turned around and sighed.
'The reason I was using you was so that you would have a reason to stay here with me. I had never met another who could beat me at mind game other than Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. I enjoyed having you here. But the other day I took it a bit too far. I should respect the fact that you don't want me to know what you're thinking about or what's happened.' I looked at her before speaking.
'Twilight, that doesn't answer my question. What's the problem?' she looked into my eyes.
'The problem is… is… I think I love you Ethan.' My face changed from normal to 'You what mate' in a second.
"Hello brain?"
"Yes Ethan what's happening?"
"Something fucked up brain system alpha. I need you to run the backup."
"Sure thing boss." It was a few minutes before I was able to respond. I blinked first in surprise. But I wasn't shocked.
'Fucking saw it coming.' I muttered before getting up to my feet. I looked down at Twilight's lavender eyes before I walked downstairs. She followed me down and I went over to the door and opened it.
'Ethan where are you going?' Twilight asked me as I was about to leave.
'I'm sorry Twilight. You just mindfucked me good and I need to think.' I left Twilight's house and walked a few paces forward.
"What the fuck is this? I don't know what to do." I stared into the distance. I was tired from the long day and possible sedatives in my body. Everything blacked out.
Note: Ethan is not unconscious but just does things in a daze so he cannot remember anything due to the large amount of mindfuck.
Sweet Apple Acres, 5:59 AMI walked through up to the barn that was Applejack's house in search of Applebloom. I hadn't seen her once since I had been here. I recognised by the red bow in her hair. I approached her and cleared my throat.
'Hey, you haven't seen Applejack here have you?' I asked her. She looked at me before nodding.
'Yep, she right on over there.' She pointed a hoof at a random patch of trees and I looked. I could see Applejack bucking the trees.
"Damn it how the fuck could I not see her?" I asked myself before walking over to join her.
'Hey AJ how are you this morning?' I asked her as I approached.
'Ahm not too bad. You feel up to helpin' it's mighty fun?' she asked me. I nodded.
"Why the fuck not?"
Ponyville square, 10 hours later"Ok that is why I should not do that again." I rubbed all of the sore spots on my upper half of my body. I sat a bench in the middle of the square. I noticed the presence of another being sat next to me. I knew exactly who it was but I was too sore at the moment.
"Why does fate plan things so that I have the most painful time and then another thing to add to it?" I asked myself in my head. I turned my head to the right and saw a pink blur as Pinkie bounced into my field of vision.
'Hi Ethan. I got something super dooper fun planned today. Do you want to come and help me?' I looked at her.
'Why don't you and one of the others do it?' I asked her.
'Well. Everyone's been avoiding me lately. I don't know why. But then you're not everybody right. You will come and help me wont you?' I looked to my left and saw Rainbow Dash coming towards us.
'Hey Ethan, do you wanna go for a run? I will still beat you even with no wings.' She taunted as she sat down on the other side.
"See the most painful torture ever." I looked at Pinkie and then Rainbow.
'Oh crap' I whispered.
Hey again. I hope this chapter wasn't too confusing. So here are the options for this chapter.
Go with Pinkie
Go with Rainbow
Just another thing before I finish. Whenever my character is unconscious at the end of a chapter. (Sleep, knocked out Etc) I won't put in decisions because, who can when they are unconscious? Stay awesome and keep reviewing. Add this story to you favourites if you are enjoying it. Until Monday. Bye.
