//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Could you repeat that? Equestria?! // by theponywiththegoldenhelm //------------------------------// Chapter 5 Take the Day! After some intense gaming, I decided to hit the hay. Herp derp, I can make pony jokes. Hur hur hur. "There is a empty room on the right at the end of the hallway. If you want to sleep alone that is." Luna said that last part raising a eyebrow. "I think I'll stay right here." I said. Spirit Banishment Dimension "What shall we do about this new one, master?" asked a voice "Wait, Charles, wait. We will show them what you are capable of when the time is right." replied a voice. "Why not now? He has not unlocked his true power." "The time must be perfect." "Yes master." "In the meantime, continue your training." "Yes master." 'I will have my revenge' Charles thought. Back in Equestria "You know Lunie, I wonder what happened to my brother Charlie." I asked Luna "What makes you think of that?" Luna asked "I dunno. Look at me now, where could he be now?" "I dunno." "Anyway how do I put this?..." "What?" Luna said interested "Do you love me?" "What gave you that idea?" "The wing-boner, the blush, the way you treat me." "Yes, you have my hooves tied." "Well, that takes care of that. Anything on your mind?" "I was wondering...if... you would go to the grand galloping gala with me? This year's going to be the first time since my one-thousand year banishment." "Thousand year banishment?! What are you talking about?" "Did Tia or Twilight tell you?" "No." "One thousand years ago, Tia controlled the sun and I the moon, such as now. Ponies played in her day while they slept through my night. My jealousy utterly destroyed me and turned me into Nightmare Moon and I tried to create eternal night." Luna was crying at this point. "Shhh, Lunie. I'm right here." "Tia banished me to the moon and I eventually came back and was defeated and saved by Twilight and her friends. I'm sorry if worried you." "Maybe I didn't come here and get turned into a pony by accident. Maybe the universe decided to be nice and bring us together. Anyway, I'll be heading to Ponyville to get a suit for this gala thing." "I know this will come in your mind, when I was saved, I lost most of my age. I'm about twenty right now." "Now that I think about this, I could use a new name." "How about Nightwalker?" "I like that." Back to Charlie and his master... "He is starting to gain his powers from Luna's love." "Let us attack when he least expects it." "As you wish master." Tomorrow, Ponyville "I would gladly make that suit for you, Jason!" Rarity said joyful. "Please call me Nightwalker, Rarity." "Whatever you say darling." "Hey, Jones. I just got a letter for you." Spike said walking in. Dear Jason, The GGG is tomorrow. Tia moved it because all main problems were fixed. From your love, Luna "Wow." I said. "What darling?" Rarity asked. "The gala is moved to tomorrow." "Don't worry. I'l have it done by then." "Thanks Rarity." "My pleasure darling." Later at Rainbow Dash's house "Hey Dash." "Hey Jason." "How did you learn how to fly that fast?!" Dash said shocked after she realized that she lives in a cloud house. "I dunno, maybe it's just a instinct thing. Anyway, do you wanna go see Twilight?" "Sure. Why not?" We started to fly to Twilight's library. Dash landed at the front door. I got a face full of dirt. Getting up, I shook myself off. Dash was laughing on the inside, still a little shaken up by my little prank. I knocked on the door. "Come on in. It's a public library." Twilight said as if she has had to say it a million times. I walk in with Rainbow. "Hey Twi." I said. "Oh, hello Jason. What do you need?" " I'd like some books on magic." Twilight's eyes lit up so big, I though she was going to start talking in Japanese like a anime character. "Gladly! Give me a moment." She replied. She filled an empty saddle bag full of 5 huge books. The kind of books you could kill a cat if you dropped them. "Thanks Twilight." "No problem at all." I started to walk out to head back to a cloud to do some reading. Rainbow had to leave to go clear the sky. I flew to a cloud and started to read. I stopped about page 249. Jeeze, magic is more freakin' complicated than nuclear physics. I got up, stretched, and flew down. I decided before I head back to the castle and go take the longest snooze of my life, to try a basic levitation spell. A rock the size of a tennis ball seemed like a good place to start. I focus and got about a foot off the ground when I got distracted...by a loud pink cotton-candy distraction. "HI JASON!" She yelled outta nowhere "GAHH!!" I screamed. "Pinkie!" She giggled "What silly?" "Don't do that!!!! I think I just had a freakin' heart attack." "Sorry. Anyway, whatcha doing?" "Well, I was trying to to a levitation spell and then you came along." "I was wondering...do you wanna go help me at Fluttershy's?" "Sure. Why not?." We walked on over the the edge of Everfree forest. One thing that I've noticed is that there are no animals. Pinkie told me on the way that Fluttershy takes care of lots of animals. I walked up and knocked on the door. "W-w-who is there?" She said softly behind the door. "It's Jones and me, you silly filly." Pinkie said entusiasticly. She eats way too much sugar I bet. "Oh, come in please." I walk in and I see almost no animals in the house. "Pinkie told me you take care of animals. I don't see any. Did something happen?" I asked. "Y-yes. A couple of hours after I left to get some food, I came back and they were gone." "Something bad might happen." "What makes you say that?" Fluttershy asked with lots of interest. "I think I remember reading from somewhere that animals of all kinds can sense disasters to come. Like earthquakes and stuff." I said. I had a small conversation before I had to leave. I flew back to the castle and headed to my room. I promptly jumped in and fell asleep.
