Arnold Schwarzenegger: A Mishap in Equestria

by Ichtudirweh

Chapter 7: Into Twilight's Library

The Mane 6 crew suddenly paused for a brief moment. They've shared expressions of discontent and worry with each other. Audible sounds of glass colliding with a hard surface; Were accompanied with the unpleasant sounds of pottery fragmenting inside. Without hesitation, they trotted to the front doorway of Fluttershy's cottage and swung open the door. What they witnessed inside the living room was nothing but short of a disaster.

"Fluttershai! Make dis liddle devil sthap! I swear aie didn't dew anehthing to him!" Arnold protected his upper torso region with a large pillow from the couch. He took cover behind Fluttershy's green futon, while Angel continued to bombard and pelt the area around Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fluttershy flared up like a volcano towards her beloved white rabbit.

"ANGEL! STOP IT RIGHT NOW! LEAVE MR. SCHWARZENEGGER ALONE RIGHT NOW MISTER!" Fluttershy stomps her front fore hooves to the ground. Her sudden outburst caused the Mane 5 to jump back a little. Angel lowered Fluttershy's glassware to the ground, and his eyes started to water with sorrow and regret. He hopped out the front door while bawling in embarrassment.

"Um...Angel? Wait! Angel Bunny! I'm so sorry...Please come back! Mama apologizes for lashing out at you!" Fluttershy proceeds after her little white rabbit. She trots off in the distance.

"...Wow. That was intense." Twilight commented after witnessing the dramatic episode.

"I've had a premonition that Mr. Schwarzenegger wouldn't last long in Fluttershy's cottage with Angel." Dash returned to the group after Twilight's comment.

"Thank gawd yew girls aer here. Dat little white rabbit is deh devil...." Arnold suddenly noticed that Rarity was with the group. He proceed with a question in regards of the previous episode with the elegant white mare.

"Raritee.....Yew didn't......"

"Oh, of course not Darling....Hehe, let's keep those matters only between ourselves..." Rarity expressed a shy blush in front of her friends. This raised some eyebrows between the Mane 5.

"As yew can all see...Staying at Fluttershai's cottage eis aout of deh question. Aie still need a place to stay until aie get mai bearings straight. And eit is getting late as aie can see." Arnold spoke in front of the group of girls. The sun was setting off in the horizon. Dusk was approaching swiftly.

"Well, perhaps you can stay at the Golden Oaks library for awhile Mr. Schwarzenegger. I suppose I can make a bed up for you on the lower floor. There are also plenty of books for you to read as well!" Twilight proposed innocently in front of her friends.

"Alright Miss Sparkle, Aie cannot deny an auffer like that. Also, Rainbow Dash, aie want tew knaough where deh closest gym tew Twilight's place. As four deh rest of yew girls, Aie will see yew all tomorrow."

"Got it! See you tomorrow then Mr. Schwarzenegger!" Dash saluted Arnold. She extended her wings and uplifted herself from the ground, and flew off towards the general direction of her house in the sky.

"I.....uh.....could use yer help around Sweet Apple Acres if ya don't mind Sugarcube. We get up mighty early in the mornin', but in return y'all get a free breakfast and ah chance to meet mah family!" Applejack suggested to Arnold with a thick southern accent.

"Sure Applejack...but make sure yew tell your family dat dis Austrian eats alout of food! Aie hope yer granny can make aeh excellent meal before aie go paumping with Dash for deh day."

"Not a problem partner! I'll swing by Twilight's place by tomorrow early in the mornin' then. See ya'll tomorrow!" Applejack waived to her friends, and trotted to the dirt path leading back into Ponyville.

"Hey party pants! I've got absolutely nothing to do tomorrow! Can I join you and Dash at the gym? I can bring drinks and spare towels!" Pinkie Pie sprung up to the Austrian Oak.

"Sure der Miss Pie! Aie don't see aneh harm with yew tagging aloung with us. Tell Miss Dashie to meet meh after ahm done aet Sweet Apple Acres. Be der on deh spaut!" Arnold playfully brushed Pinkie Pie's mane with his right hand. She giggled, and hopped off with Rarity after Applejack. Twilight and Arnold were the last ones to depart from Fluttershy's cottage. The Austrian Oak followed the brainy purple mare back to her book sanctuary while discussing a few things.

"So, um, Mr. Schwarzenegger? Did everything go well at the Carousel Boutique when you received your clothing?" Twilight trotted along with the towering bodybuilder.

"Yeah Miss Sparkle, everything over der went faine....So...uh...What kinda books are yew into if aie may ask?" Arnold quickly changed the subject to her interests.

"Oh, I love read about any subject I can get my hooves on! I generally love reading about magic if I had to choose one topic. Your going to love my extensive collection of library books that I have to offer. What kind of books do you like to read Mr. Schwarzenegger?" Twilight returned to Arnold.

"Well uh, Miss Sparkle, Aie generally love gathering new information about bodybuilding. Yew see, Aie believe dat deh body is just ahn reflection of deh mind. If yew have a stong body, it's aeh inner expression of yer collective well beings. Aie guess yew never heard deh philosophy 'deh strong bodeh equates to deh strong mind'. Ah've also contributed and written aeh few books on deh very basics of bodehbuilding in mai world. Mai latest book was a biographee called 'Todal Recall: Mai Unbelievable True Storeh.' Aie wish aie could give yew a copeh of mai works Miss Sparkle..."

Twilight Sparkle was blown away by Arnold's short speech. Never she would expect to meet a man with a equal balance of strength and intelligence in her lifetime. Evidence from Iron Will and Horsepower surely portrayed that hulking bodybuilders would lack intelligence. This wasn't the case for this unique individual. She felt honored to walk with an author who redefined the world of human bodybuilding, and has yet to preach countless new philosophies for everypony. As a result, it would only draw more attraction towards him.

"Wow Mr. Schwarzenegger! I had no idea that you did all that in your lifetime! The author of many books and original philosophies! Please make yourself at home in the Golden Oaks library. Speaking of which...We are finally here! Spike! Oh, Spike!" Twilight called up to the small purple dragon on the second floor. The baby dragon proceeded to wipe his eyes, due to his grogginess from such a long eventful day. He dragged his scaly feet towards the peak of the staircase. Once his vision cleared, he noticed the hulking bodybuilder at the doorway.

"....Uh....Twi? Do you mind if I have a word with you in private?" Spike urged Twilight to meet him at the top of the stairs.

"Sure thing Spike! Mr. Schwarzenegger, feel free to examine my extensive collection of books in the meantime."

"Will dew Miss Sparkle."

Twilight trotted to the upper floor of the library. She followed the small purple dragon to an area where their voices would not be heard.

"Uh....May I ask what he's doing here?" Spike pointed a stubby finger at the Austrian Oak, who was struggling trying to decipher unknown words from a random book.

"Oh, him? Well you see, he was having trouble getting along with Angel in Fluttershy's cottage. So I've decided to let him stay here for the time being! Isn't he marvelous Spike? I suppose I've forgot to tell you that he's the author of many books! He can also preach many decisive philosophies as well! Oh, Spike, he's absolutely the only thing that we need in our lives."

"Wait....He's what?!? Your telling me that he's staying with us? I guess you didn't hear what happened when he was over at Rare's place."

"What happened?" Twilight perked her head with curiosity.

"I'll get into details by tomorrow Twily. Right now, I'm going back to bed. I'd keep a close eye on him however..."

"Sure thing then! Goodnight Spike!" Twilight returned to the small purple dragon.

"Goodnight Twilight......." The small purple dragon dragged his feet back into bed. Twilight trotted down to the lower floor of the library, where Arnold proceeded to struggle with his selected random book.

"So....Mr. Schwarzenegger....How do you like my collection so far?" Twilight asked the hulking bodybuilder. The Austrian Oak was busy being dumbfounded by a series of unknown text in a book.

"Aie daugnt understand dis......How can yew ponehs speak English but wright in anoder langwich?" Arnold scratched his head furiously in frustration.

"I'm not entirely sure what you mean Mr. Schwarzenegger....." Twilight returned to the confused bodybuilder.
