//------------------------------// // Chapter 15: Repair Job // Story: How Did I Get Here? // by k12314 //------------------------------// CHAPTER 15 I was sitting on my couch, listening to music as Zephyr fixed my roof, and the floor above me. He is lucky he is a pegasus. "Can I take a break?" He looked tired, and thirsty. I may be angry, but I'm not heartless. "Alright. Hey, you want something to drink? I have... Apple Juice, and... Apple Juice..." I have gotta stop buying all of my groceries from Applejack. But I do get a discount... He chuckled and grabbed a bottle. He chugged the whole thing. Wow, he really was thirsty... "So... Why exactly do you stalk Dashie?" I had been wondering that ever since he started fixing my roof. He hit me lightly over the head with the bottle. "I do not "stalk" her. I just leave her love letters." "So you took my advice, huh?" "Yeah. What does she think?" His eyes were beaming with anticipation. "She hasn't said anything about it, so that is probably good." "Oh." He looked disappointed. I heard a knock at the door. I opened up. "Oh, hey Applejack. What's up?" "We heard crashin' noises comin' from 'round here. Y'all OK?" "Yeah... Something just fell through my roof." "Well tarnation. Lemme gather up the gals and we c'n help ya'!" "No tha-" She was already bolting down the street. Zephyr looked excited. Oh boy... "She said the 'gals', right?" "Yeah..." What was this crazy stallion thinking NOW? "That means Dash will be here too!" He fluttered his wings in excitement. Now it was my turn to hit him with my bottle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A few minutes later, I heard another knock on my door. I was helping Zephyr fix the roof now, and it was almost done. We just had the ceiling and my coffee table left. "Coming!" I flew down (Goddesses I love these shoes) and opened the door. Almost everypony I knew was here with construction gear on. Where did that gear come from anyways? Ah, whatever. "Ugh, I look absolutely HORRENDOUS in this outfit!" Rarity was still as snooty as ever. Pinkie Pie hopped passed me, and looked at the damage. "Ooooohhh... Someone really hurt your poor housy-wousy!" I imagined Pinkie with all of the construction tools. Oh boy... Everypony walked in and looked at the damage. Applejack whistled. "Well, we sure got our work cut out fer' us. Lets get t' work!" Twilight walked in with a scroll and quill. She was doing measurements, talking to herself. "If the damage is this length and this width... That would make it..." The thought of math hurt my head. I flew back up to join Zephyr and Rainbow Dash. I saw what I expected. I saw Zephyr looking at Dashie dreamily as she worked. I flew over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "AH!" He looked at me. "Oops... Sorry..." "Stop gawking and work, dude." Sheesh, does this pony have any self control? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After we finished the work on the roof, we went to the second floor of the house to see the damage. Not as bad, but still bad. "Umm... If it's ok... Could I try something?" Fluttershy had an idea. "Go right on ahead." She walked outside, and I heard some of the most beautiful singing to ever grace my ears. A moment later, I saw Fluttershy walk in with a load of animals. My jaw proceeded to hit my hardwood floor. Woah... She can summon animals by singing? She noticed my expression. "Oh... My... Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry..." "No! No. You didn't do wrong... I am just... Stunned." I heard banging and the sound of wood being dragged along upstairs, followed by Pinkie's crazy antics, and I heard Rarity scream. "AHHH! GET THESE FILTHY CREATURES AWAY FROM ME!" She galloped downstairs. We all laughed. I heard the noise stop, and all of the animals left. We went upstairs and looked at the floor. It looked like new! "Fluttershy... Remember to thank your animal friends for me later..." Still amazed... "OK." I shook my head, and walked back down to my living room. I looked at my coffee table's remains. We all picked up the remains and put them back together like a jigsaw puzzle. It only took us all a few minutes. "Well, that wasn't very organized," Twilight said, almost sounding annoyed, "but we got the job done." "Yeah! We all did a super-dooper job! YAY!" Pinkie was still jumping around. "It looks GORGEOUS." Sheesh... "Yeah! And since I helped fix it, it's 20% cooler!" I giggled. Rainbow Dash was a smug as ever. "Well, thanks everypony." I was absolutely beat. It was getting pretty late. Everyone said their goodbyes and left. I walked up to my room, and sat down on the bed. Finally... Some rest... I passed out as soon as I hit the pillow.
