Since last chapter was chapter 4 I thought I'd celebrate,
by tuning down the thickness of the 4th wall. I wonder when Pinkie will notice.
Anyway's! Sorry for being such a no-show. It's not like this is Hiatus X Hiatus :P
I'm too good at procrastinating for my own good, and I get really lazy without a job.
And there's much of the problem. XD
Welcome to another chapter, this time there will be some action with spike.
NO! Not in that way you silly filly! Don't even go there.
"seriously! Some people..."
Jokes aside. After carefull consideration,
I thought I'd wait with the "Griffon the brush off" chapter some more.
And on the note of waiting, sorry to keep you waiting for this chapter.
As you might have guessed,
the time travel accident took place in between the discord and nightmare moon event.
And of course I'll note it here that this world is an alternate one,
from the very moment my character entered it
The truth of the Stolen Thunder / Celestia thing will be made clear,
atleast when I get around to when Discord is freed from stone.
Let's just say they both have a few things,
to do with the conection to Thunder's human world.
That, and thing's are more imposible/complicated than they seem.
Since I was getting request's to use "quotation mark's" and paragraph's?
I will try to implement them.
I'm not a pro writer, but I'll do my best.
I have tried to fix the earlier chapter's I hope they're better now.
There was only 13k word's to fix after all. Though some misses might remain. ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with MLP FIM,
neither do I have a marefriend/GF. I guess my OC will have better luck there actually.
"If I don't hinder it ofc." *I say, smiling menacingly.*
I only own my OC and the idea's that deviate from the original thing's.
Chapter 5 A day with Spike
Waking up to the sound of knocking, I then hear a familiar voice.
"Thunder, are you up yet?" Asks Spike, entering the room.
"I don't hear any thunder," I say trying to grab my phone to check the clock.
Having forgotten all about the being in a diferent world part,
and still failing to conect what person who's the voice I'm speaking to.
"Are you still asleep?" Asks Spike.
"Sure feel's like it" I answer, finaly finding the table with my outstretched arm.
*Clopp!
"Wait, why did my hand make that sound?" I think as I open my eye's.
Looking around the room I fail to orientate myself untill I see Spike.
My eye's growing wide in realization I say.
"Oh right! I forgot all about transforming into a magical pony."
Spike does a face-claw, sighing while mumbling.
"And this is the pony I'm going to ask for help?"
"So, uh? What did you want?" I ask, letting out a huge yawn.
"I'll let you wake up first, meet me at the fountain later." says Spike, walking out of the room.
"Ok? I wonder what was about." I say, sitting up at the side of the bed.
Trying to stand on my hind leg's I get a sudden close encounter with the floor.
"Note to self, ponies walk on four leg's," I say as I pick my self up from the floor.
Walking out into the library, Twilight look's up from a book.
"Don't you look like you slept well." She says giggling a bit.
"I feel like I still am," I say as I scratch my head, ruffling my mane even more.
After eating some well needed breakfast and yawning some more, I head for the door.
"You going somewhere?" Twilight Asks, looking up from her book again.
"Spike asked me to come find him when I've woken up" I answer,
pushing the door open with a hoof.
Giving me a nod and smirk, Twilight dive's back into the book.
"I wonder what that smirk was for?" I think to myself as I exit the library.
Walking down the street I get a few giggles whenever I pass somepony.
Ignoring the look's I get, I soon arrive at the fountain.
Noticing me Spike sighs, jumping down from his spot on the edge of the fountain.
"What's with everyones reactions today?" I ask Spike.
"Have you looked in a mirror lately?" Spike says, looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
Shaking my head in reply, I move over to the fountain, looking down at my reflection in the water.
"Oh! So that's why." I say as I see my totally ruffled mane.
After getting my hair out of pinkyville and into some resemblance of a proper hairstyle,
I turn back toward Spike to ask what he want.
"So what's going on?" I ask.
"Well, I guess I can tell you." Spike answer, after pretending to think it over for a while.
"Go on." I tell him, rolling my eyes. Thinking that he need's to stop beating around the bush.
"You see, there is this flower I want to get for Rarity. But it grow's in the Everfree forest,
and Twilight would kill me if I went in there alone." Saying this, Spike look pleadingly at me.
"Ok, ok, I think I know where this is going. You want me to go with you right?" I say, and think.
"It's just picking some flower's, what could posibly go wrong right?"
"Sure, why not." I say giving Spike a smile,just to show I'm ok with helping.
Noticing, Spike smile back, saying.
"I knew I could count on you Thunder. Now let's go!" As he suddenly jump onto my back.
"So I'm the runner huh?" I say, looking questioningly at him.
"You won't say anything like, onwards my noble stead atleast, right?" I ask.
"Nah! You look more like a mare to me" Spike answer, doing a quick shrugg.
I open my mouth to snap back at his remark, then close it again in defeat.
"Well, I can't really argue while having these looks I guess." I say,
glancing back down into the water of the fountain.
After walking a while with Spike on my back I mumble.
"Guess I know how Twilight get's her daily training now."
"Did you say something?" Asks Spike, laying on my back while looking at some book.
"Oh, nothing!" I say as we enter the forest.
After walking aimlessly for a while, looking around at the forest floor,
I realize I don't know how the flower look like.
"Hey Spike!, what does the flower look like?" I ask, stopping to look back at him.
"Like this." he answer's getting into position, only to show me the page of the book,
which he had been staring at for a while now.
"Well, it certainly look's classy." I say, looking at the picture of a white flower,
wich I realize, have a striking resemblance to the flower's of a blueberry bush.
If not for the rest of the picture showing it was a single flower on a stalk,
I'd have probably believed it was one. Getting hung up on another detail, I ask spike.
"Why's the flower growing on a wall?" raising an eyebrow at him.
"Well, it seem's they used them as lamps," answer Spike.
"Well, in that case it shouldn't be so hard finding one. I mean, the everfree forest ain't really a bright place."
I say as we head even deeper into the forest. Spending the next hour and a half,
looking for anything emiting light I start to doubt we'd ever find one.
"Hey Spike! It wouldn't happen to grow in caves or something now would it?" I ask,
mildly iritated. Mostly cause I start to get hungry.
"Ah, I didn't tell you?" Asks Spike, smiling awkwardly.
"No you didn't!" I say as a twig snapp's under my hoof.
"Hey spike" I say, getting his atention again.
"Yeah?" Asks Spike.
"There's a pile of wood here, is there anyone living out here?" I ask.
"Not that I know of." Spike answer as the pile start's to move, making some kind of growling noice.
"Are piles of wood suposed to act this way?" I ask Spike,
backing away as I notice many more pile's of wood starting to move.
"This could be bad." I say as I turn to face Spike,
who with a silent agreement, nod in synch with me.
"Ruun!" We both say as I shoot of in a random direction,
followed by the angry timberwolves that had appeared.
As I weave in and out between bushes and trees,
the timberwolves chasing us, keep crashing into one another as they go.
"How many are there?" I ask Spike who foolishly try to count them with his claws,
only to notice it wasn't such a good idea when he's about to fall of.
Grabbing my mane again, he keeps himself on my back as I loose my balance instead.
Tumbling down a slope to my right, I flail about, trying to grab hold of something.
"I'm such an effing genious!" I shout as my hoof doesn't grab what my hand would have.
"Does that have anything to do with this?" Spike Asks, as he's holding on for dear life.
"Not, Oof... really!" I say, with the sudden stop taking my breath away for a second.
Hearing growls from the gaining timberwolfs I jump to my hooves,
only to hear a creaking sound before everything turn black.
"What happened?" I ask myself as I come to, finding Spike sitting beside me in the darkness.
"You got knocked out after we fell into this hole." Answer Spike.
"Guess ponies arn't as sturdy as dragons" I say smirking at Spike,
who scratch the back of his head in embarassment.
Looking around, I see that we are in some kind of tunnel, giving us two paths to choose from.
Noticing the tilt of the floor I figure we should take the path leading to higher ground.
"This way!" I tell Spike as I start walking in the direction leading uppward's.
After shrugging, he run's up to me, walking by my side.
As it quickly got dark when moving away from the hole we fell through I stop, saying.
"Guess we won't be getting further until I learn how to use my horn as a flashlight."
Spike looks on amused as I strain my face, trying to get my magic to light the path.
"Is it realy that hard for you?" he ask.
"Well, it's not like I can just say lights on!" I say as I break my concentration,
actually geting of some kind of spell that made it bright.
"Well, I guess I can?" I say, confused as I look around for a light source without success.
"We won't need the Spike torch I guess." I say to Spike who's laughing at me,
only to swallow nervously cause of my joke.
Not walking very far before we hit a dead end, I say.
"Why'd they make a dead end in here? Spike, look for a hidden switch, this must be a secret passage."
Getting on with it, Spike and I look around, pressing random stones on the walls.
"Thunder, I realy think this only is a dead end." Spike says, looking a bit disapointed.
"There must be something here." I say, backing away from the wall.
*Click!
The sound came from the floor, I had stepped on some sort of switch.
Quickly discarding any thoughts of traps after the wall on the end had started rising I say.
"See, I knew there was a switch here!"
My happy face, quicly turning into one of horror. Huge eyes, ears slumping and jaw dropping,
as I see what's behind wall number 1.
Note: The -A- in "Wa-ow" is suposed to sound like the A when you say "an".
Excample: "Do you want an apple?" Well then, please enjoy the rest.
"Wa-ow, I think we'd better start running." I say to Spike,
who cringed at the sight of the huge boulder that got more and more visible as the wall opened up.
Spike, jumping to the safety of my back was my cue to start.
I shoot of in the direction we had come from and as Spike hears my exhausted breathing he ask.
"why don't you just fly Thunder?"
"Would you like to risk it? I don't have any experience with carrying things while flying you know."
I remind him. Looking back at Spike who had a "oh right!" face,
and then on the boulder that had now started rolling toward us.
Running with the boulder right behind us Spike shouts for me to go faster.
I try spreading my wings, flapping a little in a try to get lighter, it works.
Gaining speed, the boulder stop gaining in on us,
Spike wipes some imaginary sweat from his forehead and sigh in relief.
"It aint over yet!" I say just before I feel my hoof sinking into the floor with another characteristic.
*Click
"What now?" I whine as I look around to see any clues of what was about to happen.
I can feel some rumbling, but nothing seem to happen.
"Maybe this trap was too old?" I think as I step on another stone that sinks into the ground.
Only this time it wasn't a switch, it was the pitfall I had triggered with the last switch.
Falling into the trap, the boulder soon passes overhead.
I had sucsessfully started hovering after crashing into the side of the hole in the pitfall,
Spike was now hanging from my tail after falling of and it hurts like... hay!
Looking down at the bottom of the hole I see wooden..
"Snakes!" Spike shout as he clings harder to my tail, pulling his feet higher.
"Well, atleast there wasn't any wooden stakes." I say while trying to fly us out of the trap.
"Cakes? That might have been better." Says Spike, misshearing what I said in his fright.
"Indeed it would." I say as I'm at the edge of the hole, pulling us up.
As Spike lets go, I tend to my sore tail then lay down to rest a bit.
"Wow!" I hear Spike say and look at him.
Following his eyes I look down the path we'd been heading in.
"Good thing we didn't get caught in that trap." I say, looking at the swords stuck in the ground,
and spears lodged in the walls further down the path.
"No kidding" Spike says as we look at all the traps the boulder had set of when it rolled past us.
After resting a while from all the crazyness,
we continue walking past all the triggered trapps untill we find a fork in the road.
One, a dead end with the boulder stuck in the way.
"Guess we'll have to take this path." I say as we pass the boulder, walking down the open path.
Walking slowly, being wary of traps we spend hours walking around in the maze-like structure.
Complaining about how hungry we are, we enter a larger round room with a pedistal in the middle.
"I'm so hungry I could eat those gems." Spike says as he waves his claw at a box of gems,
apparently not registering them as anything but a hunger illusion.
"why dont you? I'm so hungry, even this single flower look tasty." I say,
looking at a flower growing on the wall.
"Wait! That's it!" Spike shouts just as I'm about to bite down on it.
"Wait, what?" I say as I back away, looking at the flower again, recognizing it from the book.
"Ha ha, wasn't that close. Lucky you Spike." I say as I sit down, feeling my stomach grumble.
Spike run over, carrying gems in one claw, shoving them into his mouth with the other.
Waiting in front of the flower, he waits untill he has eaten all his gems before he pluck it.
"Now lets get outa here." I say as I get of the floor, stretching a bit.
Just finishing the stretch, I feel Spike jumping onto my back again.
"I just have to think of it as training I guess." I think to myself,
as I start walking towards a small path, I feel some wind when entering it.
I smile slightly at the idea that this might be the exit and continue on.
"Finally!" I say as we see the exit.
"I wonder how long we have been..."
*burp!
A green flame shot out of Spikes mouth before he could finish his meaning.
"This must be for Twilight." Spike say as he pick up the parchment roll he had shot on my face.
"We'd better get going then." I say as we walk out the exit.
Looking around, we find that we're not that far from the old castle.
After walking through the forest for a while, we are soon back at Ponyville.
Entering the town, everything seemed normal at first, except.
"Why are all these ponies so busy? Is this some special day maybe?" I ask Spike who just shrug.
As I walk us through the streets I see Rainbow Dash flying around high in the air,
apparently searching for something. I also catch a glimt of Pinkie bouncing around.
"There ya are suggarcube." Comes a familiar voice from behind.
"Nope! Can't be anyone else." I think as I turn around to greet Applejack.
"Hey Apples!" I say with a smile.
"Don't you be smart with me." Applejack retorts, also smiling.
"Anyways, Twilight was looking for you two, ah guess ah can go home now that ah've told ya."
Applejack says as she yawns. Saying her goodbyes, she head of for home.
"Now that's a sight, Applejack yawning in the middle of the day?" I say as I turn to spike.
"w-Wha?" Spike answers, having almost nodded of while riding on my back.
"Nothing" I say as I head for the library. Almost there, I hear another voice calling for me.
This time, it was Twilight.
"And where have you been?" she asks in a fairly stern tone.
"Picking flowers, yes, just picking flowers!" I say, nudging Spike with the back of my head.
"Flowers, flowers for Rarity zzz." Spike mumble from my back.
"For twelve hours?" Twilight asks doubtingly with a raised eyebrow.
"Nah, you're over-exaggerating now, if we'd been gone for that long it would have been dark now"
I say, waving a hoof at Twilight who had been glancing at a part of the sky.
"By the way, Mr. Sleepyhead here coughed up a letter for you earlier." I say as I pull it out for her.
As she quickly snatch the parchment I turn to look at whatever she had looked at in the sky.
"The moon?" I think and scan the bright sky for the sun, not finding it.
"Dear student Twilight Sparkle, As you must have noticed the sky is still bright even now."
"If you find the reason please inform me" As Twilight read the letter I excuse myself,entering the library.
The first thing I do is putting the now Snoring Spike to bed, then a few sandwitches to quell my hunger.
Feeling a bit sleepy myself, I decide to take a nap in my room.
Sitting down in the bed I look out the window when a thought hits me.
"It couldn't be right?" I tell myself as I get some cold-sweat.
"L-lights of!" I say, clapping my hoves for no real reason.
The darkness came instantaneously, bringing the night to its rightfull place.
"Oh no, what have I done?" I say as I hide below my blanket in embarrasment.
Twilight who had been outside as so many other ponies was surprised at the sudden darkness.
She quickly lit her horn and wandered into the library, turning on a lamp as she got in.
Intrigued by the glowing flower on the table she brought it and the book beside it out to the study,
and started to look through the book. She sighed and shook her head as she found the right page.
And that's the third day.
I'm sorry I'm not as productive atm, my free time has been ocupied by reading mangas,
playing games and looking for a job. Well, it might not be very fast but the show will go on!
Me: "Pinkie! You can stop looking now, go to sleep!"
Pinkie: "Thunder? Why are you in my head?"
Me: "I'll give you a cookie tomorrow if you don't sweat the details."
Pinkie: "Okie dokie!" Pinkie say and bounce back home for the night.
Phew! Well, what did you all think of my impersonation of Stolen Thunder?
Fooled Pinkie didn't I? Well, it helps that we are basicaly the same,
except that he is just part of me that I poured into that universe. :p
Random ranting: In memory of the last chapter, I told you I had a dream.
I had one this past night as well, though it's not something I realy want to remember...
It was so shocking that I almost wanted to gouge out my eyes and destroy my ears.
I totally want to unsee what I saw, and the word-ddd Tuttan, will forever haunt my memmory.
BTW! It will take some time, but on day nine there will be some fun, fun, fun! With Pinkie.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter,
and as it's soon valentines day I wish you all luck from my,
"forever alone" spot from in front of my computer.
Almost 28 sigh... I must realy be good at dodging girls.
Anyways! Don't die of abstinence untill the next chapter and take care! (^_^)7
