//------------------------------// // Chapter 20: Jealousy // Story: How Did I Get Here? // by k12314 //------------------------------// CHAPTER 20 AUTHOR'S NOTE: There will be a few moments in the story where the viewpoint switches between . I will notify you of this, so no worries. "*Snore* And IIIII... *Snore* Will always... Love youuuuuu... *Snore*" I was singing in my sleep again, meaning I was sleeping peacefully. I felt something brush against my leg. "NO MORE EVIL BISCUITS!" I yelled as I woke up. Fluttershy's eyes popped open, and she jumped up. "EEP!" She looked at me. "Oh my. Did you scream? Were you having a nightmare?" "I don't know... it involved Rainbow Dash, a giant evil biscuit, and half a tub of gelatin." "Oh... OK?" She sounded confused. Honestly, I didn't, and still don't, know either. "Just don't worry about it. I dream about weird stuff all the time." "Alright." She sounded relieved. "Well, I had best get going. You can keep that book, Shy. I already read it... Sorta." "Oh, thank you!" I didn't have the heart to tell her how it would end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I was walking home, when I saw Big Mac looking around the street where I live. What could he want? "Hey Big Mac, what's up?" He looked at me. He looked quite cross. What did I do now? "Ya' was hangin' out with Fluttershy yesterday, right?" "Yeah, so?" "So, ya' told me she pro'lly felt the same way about me, an' then ya' go an' spend a day with her?" "Dude, I wasn't trying anything." "Ya' better not have been..." Great. I had him angry at me just because I spent a day with one of my best friends. I sensed a hint of paranoia... "Big Mac, calm down. I would never try anything. Don't you think it would be a little weird for a human to be going out with a pony?" Yuck... "Yeah, Ah' reckon so..." He put his hoof on the back of his head, rubbing his mane apologetically. "No hard feelings, 'kay?" I reached my hand out to shake his hoof. "None." He shook my hand. I nodded at him, and walked inside. I put my hat and jacket on the floor next to my door, and took off my shoes. Time to relax with some music-making. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I had forgotten: I had planned to hang out with Shy today. Bugger. I turned off my music station, and bolted downstairs, put everything on, and ran out the door. I almost immediately ran into the shy yellow pegasus. "I'm sorry Shy, I completely forgot." I hung my head in shame. "It's OK. I thought that's what had happened, so I came here instead. May I come inside?" "Sure." I stepped out of the way and let her in. Good thing I had cleaned up the day before, otherwise it would have been a wreck. "So, what do you wanna do?" I normally let people coming to my house decide what to do. "Actually, I wanted to see where the famous DJ 1NS4N1TY made his music." She grinned. She's into rave music? "I had no idea you liked music like that." "Oh, yes. I love all kinds of music." "Then come this way, humble fan, my studio is just upstairs." I made a formal gesture to the stairs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHANGE VIEWPOINT: BIG MAC I looked into the window of Kyle's house, and I saw Fluttershy walking in. "What th' hay is he up to now?" He was talking to her. He looked surprised. "What's she sayin' t' him?" I couldn't hear through the window, it was too thick. He made a formal gesture to the stairs, and the ascended. "Uh-Oh." I waited until they were all the way upstairs, and trotted over to his door. He forgot to lock it. "Idiot." I pushed the door open and quietly went up the stairs. I was looking for them for a few minutes, when I heard loud music start to come from one of the rooms. I galloped towards the sound of the music, not worrying about stealth seeing as to how this music was so loud the world could explode and they wouldn't hear. I pressed my ear to the door the music was coming from, and I could barely make out the words of their conversation over the music. I heard Fluttershy say: "Oh my, it's so big!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHANGE VIEWPOINT: FLUTTERSHY "Oh my, it's so big!" I said over the music. Kyle had so many recording and mixing machines all hooked together. What a large setup. "Well, I need all of this if I wanna be a good DJ!" He shouted over the music. I was enjoying myself. I really liked Kyle, and he really liked me back. At least, that's what it seemed like. I was smiling as he pulled on the sliders and spun records to mix and match the musical sounds. It was wonderful. "So, how many of my parties have you been to?" He was still shouting. The mixmaster headphones on his head didn't lower his tone. I didn't mind. "About five." "And you never came up to make a request?" "I was too scared. I didn't know what you would think." "I think it's cool that such a timid mare like you enjoys music like this! You're pretty awesome!" That last statement send my heart aflutter. I blushed, and looked away. At that moment, the door was pounded inwards, and it made me jump. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHANGE VIEWPOINT: KYLE I turned off the machine and spun around to see why my door just slammed. I saw Big Mac standing there, an angry fire in his eyes. "Dude! What the hay!?!?" I was almost as angry as he was. I was really in the zone! "Y'all git' away from her..." "Ummm... What's going on?" Fluttershy seemed pretty scared. "I haven't the faintest friggin' idea." "Ya' know full well what was goin' on in here." Yeah. I was making awesome music with one of my fans before YOU showed up. "It's so big? Too scared? Yer' pretty awesome?" I noticed how many innuendos were in those sentences. Why was he- I looked at Shy, and then thought a minute... OH MY GODDESSES. "You... Think we... Were...." "Eeyup." I started laughing. Fluttershy didn't know what was going on. "Dude! We were just-HAHAHAHA-We were just making music! She is a big fan of mine, and she wanted to see my setup." "A fan? Yer' famous?" "I'm DJ 1NS4N1TY." He pondered that for a moment, and then looked at me, wide-eyed. "Ah' didn't know ah' was friends with a celebrity... Sorry Kyle, Ah' made a big mistake. Can ya' ever forgive me?" "Sure dude. I understand why you were mad." With that, he left. "Ummm... I still don't understand..." "It's OK, Shy. Just go home, I need some sleep..." "OK. Thank you for showing me how you make your amazing music." "No problem." What an eventful evening that was...
