//------------------------------// // Day 3: What!? // Story: Good, bad, and why me? // by Normalguy //------------------------------// Day 3: What!?! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ???) I wake up to nothing really. It's not the field of grass in my head or a hospital bed like I was expecting. Maybe it is my head, if it is Iris can help. I decide to call out for some social interaction. "Iris! Are you out there?" I yell. I get no response. This worries me. My heart races from the situation I'm in. Could I be dead? I really hope not. I still like like life, kinda. I have to get up, I can't stay here. I start running forward or what I assume it is. Could be upside down for all I care. The blackness around me is starting to make me feel paranoid. You know that feeling that nags at you at first and it make you slightly more scared as time passes? Yeah that one -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to the ponies because that's what you here for. Mostly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1-------------11------------- Hospital bed, 3rd person view) All of the mane six are here seeing Golden spark on the bed visiting him. Rarity got to the hospital at the middle of the night. As soon as she ran in and explained the situation to the nurse they rushed him in to the ER. Twilight decided to break the small silence they had. "Rarity." Rarity froze hearing this." What happened?" Twilight asked. " He asked to make me dinner, I said yes. When he didn't respond I went to go check on him. As I walked in he was on the ground. I started to panic and I ran here with him." Rarity said in response. " D-do they know what's wrong?" Spoke in Fluttershy. " Not yet, the results haven't came in yet." Said Twilight. "He can't die yet. If he can take on those diamond dogs then this should be fine. He's still young so he's gotta be fine." Said Rainbow dash in a carefree tone. Before anyone could tell Rainbow how rude that was the door to the room reveals the doctor. The doctor is a unicorn with a beige coat and Grey mane indicating that he has been here for awhile. His cutie mark is a simple Red Cross symbol. He's wearing a doctors coat with a stethoscope around his neck. In his magic he holds a clipboard facing him. That must be the results. "Which one of you here is taking care of the colt?" The doctor asks. "That would be me." Says Rarity. Two guards in armor came in and told her this. " You are under arrest." The guards say. "What?! What did I do?" Questions Rarity. "I'll answer that Miss Rarity." The doctor speaks." In a nut shell, you killed him in a indirect way." Rarity is dumbfounded bye bye this, with mouth agape. The others gasp at this. "You have been charged with ponyslaughter and foal abuse." The guards say. "But, but..." Rarity's in shock at hearing this. In the midst of her shock the guards put shackles on her hooves and led her out. "Wait! You guy can't do that!" Rainbow Dash flew in front of the guards." Where did you guys even come from?" "That is irrelevant miss. Now we must take miss Rarity to Canterlot for questioning, excuse us." The guards then pushed Rainbow out of the way and walked away. The doctor decided to speak up. "Just so you know, the patient 'Golden Spark' is going to die soon very soon." He then walked out of the room leaving the five shocked mares. "What are we gonna do?" Asked Twilight." Rarity suspected for ponyslaughter and Jon is dying, He could be dead now!." Fluttershy is on the floor crying for her new friend and her old friend. Pinkie's hair deflated long ago due to the situation Jon is in, she also saw Fluttershy's crying and went over to comfort her. Twilight is nearly hyperventilating due to the situation. She's thinking what could happen to her friend Rarity. What will they do?. Applejack just looked at Jon with sadness and her hat on her chest paying respects. Rainbow dash sat on the floor, her heard darting left and right looking for a answer but none came. What will happen next? Twilight decided to speak out first. " I have to go." Twilight's voice held uncertainty on what to do. Twilight ran out leaving the four others behind. She runs towards her treebary in hopes to find a solution. Twilight burst through the door calling out. "SPIKE! Where are you!" She yelled the sadness in her voice is there but spike doesn't notice. " Geeze Twilight, i'm right here. What do you need?" Spike asks back with a slight irritation in his tone. " Spike take a letter...." Twilight has to stay strong for this, and to find an answer. But what is there to find? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back to Jon) I stopped running after about five minutes due to the fact that it's useless. I just ran in a random direction, but now I see where I am it seems I haven't moved at all. Do I have to wait? Man, if i'm dead do I have to go see death? Kinda wonder how he acts .I sit down to think about it. I've seen enough TV to know that they ruined his image. My future questions were interrupted by someone "familiar" Death. His or her, dark grey cloaked figure "stares" at me and I look at him or her (still not judging) at death back. Death holds a scythe in a bony hand while the other holds a black steel lantern holding a flame of blue. I decided to try my fantabulous social skills and break the Ice. " You a guy or a girl?" I kinda just let myself go at this point. Whats could happen? " I'm a damn guy now get up!" He yells at me. I get off the 'floor' and we walk. " So where are we going?" I say in a carefree tone. " Hell." He says in a grim voice. " Really I thought it would be a office." He stopped to turn to me. " Why in the universe would you think were going to a office?" " I don't know. Why am I going to hell." " Your going to hell for what you did. Now let's go." He turns around and walks. I follow. " What did I do?" " Not payed enough to tell you that." He drones. " You get payed? What would use the money for?" Kinda curious. " Well, you see when I go on vacation-" " You get a vacation?" I question. " Shut up i'm talking." I make the' look out we have a badass over here" gesture and doesn't notice it but takes it as 'I'll shut up now.'. " As I was saying. When I go on vacation I can use the money to buy food and souvenirs." "Say what. What did ya do with the souvenirs?" Maybe I can get out of this place. Gotta play this right, not like how I play Pokemon. " I gave some to family and my wife." This guy has a family?" " You have a family, as in aunts and uncles all that and what not." " Yeah but I'm kinda shunned from them." " Why?" " Cause they don't like who I married." " Really? That's stupid but I feel for you and understand." I really do. " How could you understand your only, like 16?" " Well yeah, before I fell into the portal and I assume my 'destiny' is changed." I say destiny while putting air quotes with my fingers." What did my future look like? Please, tell me." " Well your file said dead at 86 alone." I have a file? " Why was I supposed alone?" " The file read' Because his parents wanted a Asian wife and that's it'." He told me. I kinda could already see my future with the all seeing thing called my computer. Lazy and fat. " See what I mean? Now tell me who'd you marry?" " ...Well this may sound stupid but I married a..." He kinda mumbled the last part. " Dude just say it already." " Fine. Be like that. Twat" "What?" " Nothing. Look i'm married to an angel." " Really? And why does your family not like it." " You know. My ancestors and what not, not like I really cared about it anyway." " Soo... You do it with her yet?" I have a ever growing grin on my face. " What!? maybe..." He somewhat stumbles at this maybe it's the fact that i'm a teen and asking death about this. " So does that mean..." " Don't say it. Don't say it." " You." Pausing for dramatic effect." Boned her?" I laugh my ass off and fall to the 'floor'. If i'm dead gotta do something. " I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Oh shit. Did I mention i'm still on the floor laughing at him. " Oh shit!" I get off the floor and run away. While laughing." Geeze I'm sorry!" I say while running." Can we stop!" " NOT AFTER I BEAT THE LIFE OUT OF YOU!!" I pick up the pace. " Oh come on! I'm already dead! What could happen?" The running slowed down. And eventually to a stop. " You say that as you don't care." He says. After hearing this I remember, the ponies, my family, my friend (that's right friend as in that one guy. Besties 4 lyfe) and everything I couldn't do. Oh dear... this is not good. " Oh..." My once carefree tone has completely evaporated. " I'm sorry for saying that about you and your wife. Can you forgive me?" "...Just this once. Now let's go, we have to make up for lost time." He walks off and I follow once again. " So where are we going?" I ask. " Change of plans." My mood slightly went up." Were going to my office." " Cool when are going to be there?" " Now." As he said now. I sit in a chair across from him. A wooden desk with a computer on top. Simple, a picture of him and his wife. Neat and death himself white bones in front, interlaced and waiting. he just stare at me or I assume. His hood is pitch black. " Uhh.. Neat. Nice picture of your wife." I say to break the silence. " Thanks. now let's get down to business. Why." He states. " What do you mean, Why?" " Why did you die?" " Poison?" " Close but no. It was stupidity." " Well duh. Look where I am." i wave my arms in the air gesturing at this office." No offences." "Some taken, Not really a place I would like to be. Should put more decorations here and there." " So, stupidity caused my death. Thought it would be of a heart attack." I lean back, place a hand on my head shake slowly. " Well your file says your right. Look at this." He types quickly on the keyboard and turns the monitor towards me. " Yadda, yadda, yadda, I die on September 24th 2083 on Earth. Had heart attack and didn't make it. Huh, so what's the point of you showing me this?" He turns the monitor back towards himself, and turns to talk to me. " Well cause of you and your curiosity. I have to fix this, make a up to date one, and do something with you." " That's what they all say eventually. So what now?" " Your gonna help me with this paper work. Now it's going to be along time before anything happens. I assure you that." " Oh come on. Can I at least see what happened to everyone else. Please?" " Might as well, were both going to be here awhile." Sweet." On one condition." " Oh come on!" " Now wait just a second, this is important. Do you want to see your family, or Equestria." " Uh let's go with Equestria." Death types a command and turns it towards me. " Who do you want to look at?" " Well i'd like to see what happened at the hospital I assume because where else would she take me." A few clicks and clacks later and I saw everything. What Rainbow said, (rude.) how karma got her back, the guards, the tears, the arrest. Everything. " Dude can I ask you for a favor." My tone has changed to serious Jon mode. " *sigh* What?" looks like he's been through this before. " Help me come alive again." " Why? Why should I, Death help you, a mortal that has caused me to tons of work. Come alive again." " Because she's innocent. That's why. Dude, come on. you don't have to change anything i'll figure out a way to die that day so nothings changed." " I would say yes, but I can't." " What do you mean you can't aren't you death? Can't you help?" " Sorry, I wish I could. But i'm Death not a angel. And how are you going to explain when you wake up and a pony just stares at you shocked, or the others." " eh-meh-geh.... Got it! To them i'm new-ish. So this means that they pretty much know next to none about my species. Do you see where i'm going with this?" Death nods." OK then so I could lie that I was in a coma or something. I'll bullshit it like freshman classes." " Totally solid." He says with the utmost sarcasm." But like I said I can't revive you. I'm not a angel." " What about your wife then." " I don't know... But you could try." " Let's go then," I rocket off the chair and stand up, turn and run. I stop to realize that I don't know where i'm going. I turn back to see Death twiddle his thumbs." Can you please take me to your wife and house." " Yeah." He stands up and says. "Were here." Death's house isn't to bad. it's not super futuristic, or super ol timey but modern two story house with windows all around. A wooden door is at the front with a sizable porch. " Uh.. Nice, how was the real estate?" I ask. " Do you even know anything about real estate?" " I think they sell houses that's what they do right?" " Close enough, now let's go inside." " Cool." Death walks over to the door and pulls out a skeleton key, see it's funny cause he'd Death hahahah shut up. Death opens the door and walks in, I go right behind him. The inside is just like a house wood hallway with some open doorways branching off into other rooms. " This way." Death waves his skele-hand to a room. " I'm home!" He yells. A voice responds to him. " In the washroom! How was the client?" A female voice yells. You could say.... It's quite angelic. YEEEEEEAAAAAH!!! ( my first time making one of these, what do you think? Author~) " I-Can you come here I can't really explain! Can you meet me in the living room?" " Sure, give me a minuet!" "Follow me, and don't touch anything." We walk down the hallway and into, what I suppose is the living room. The room is quite normal, Huh the house of death being normal. There are two couches on the far side of the room with a flat screen on the wall. And a game system, never thought I'd see one here. I miss video games back home. Death motions for me to sit down. " Uh thanks." " Shut up and wait." Well then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5 minuets later) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ " Ok i'm coming!" The female voice said. " Be nice and don't say a word until I tell you to." " Got it." I say. Death's wife came through the door. OMG. The woman that just came in is beautiful. She stands just a little shorter then her husband, her hair is long and strait, her eyes are a deep shade of brown as is her hair, and that dress is beautiful. The dress hangs to her knees and is a nice teal color. Her blouse has a color of peach showing that it's not a outfit to match, odd, I always thought that all girls have there own sense of style. Her's seem...Conflicting. Well i'm not one to judge, look at me same thing everyday for half the year except a new T-shirt, boxers, and socks. Yeah, i'm that guy. " Dear who is this?" Her tone of voice kinda tells me that I shouldn't be here. " Look, honey he need to be revived that's it. Can you do it?" Death asks. Wonder if he has a name. " Dear! You know why I can't. Don't forget i'm retired from that stuff." Bet she got fired instead. "Can't you call in a friend? He really needs to do this." " And why should he be revived? I bet he died from some idiotic thing wile saying 'MURICA!'." " Because-" "Whoa, whoa, whoa....Whoa, not cool lady." I interrupted Death. He turns to me and just looks like, well blank, but if he had a face it probably be a 'Your on your own now.' face. Ever got one of those? Well they suck." I did not do that for your information." I say while pointing. " Well then, sorry" Her voice holds sarcasm." Then what did you do?" She asks. " I was cooking-" " Hold on there. You cook?" "Uh yeah kinda, but that's not the point. The point is I tried making dinner for a girl and I died, now she's going to have a bad and painful death, not with her friends, or in her home, but possibly stuck in a dungeon for the rest of her life. So can you help or not." My voice slowly got louder but not high enough to yell. Just slightly irritated. " Well I could but it wouldn't work." She states. "Why? Is it cause of God?" " God, no,no,no. We don't have a god, It's the CEO of it, which is the problem." " Why? Can't I just walk in-" " HAH! Walk in. You can't do that you would need a army." She half mocks. " I'VE DONE IT BEFORE AND I WILL DO IT AGAIN TO SAVE HER! NOTHING WILL STOP ME!" I yell at her she seems to cower but retorts back. But not in the way I thought. " Ooo. Who is this 'her'?" Tell me about her and maybe i'll help." I'm so sorry for what i'm about to to, i'm so sorry Rarity. " Uh it's my one I love. For my stupidity I died, and she will die in a dungeon cause of me. So I must go save her. Can you please help, i'm begging you." I got on my knees and feigned some of my tears. She seems to believe it. " Oh my, I'm so sorry I shouldn't have been so hard on you." She pulls me in for a hug." I'll help you return to the one you love, I'll be right back. I have to go make some calls and turn in some favors." She releases me from the hug and walks out of the room. I get off the floor with a flat face and turn to talk to Death. " See got it." " Why did you lie to my wife like that?" " Look, I do love her." If he had a face it would be O rlly with a raised eyebrow. " As a friend, and...Look I need to fix my mistake, are you Ok with this?" " Not really but, Oh another just died. Eh another can take that one. I do need a story to tell. I'll be ok if you fix everything and make this into a wild adventure." " Oh it'll be a adventure alright. Maybe. I don't know. But sure I agree." Death's wife came back, with good news I hope. " Good news." YAY!" And bad news." Shit." Ok so here's how it is. We can get into the place unnoticed, but we have to find are own way to the CEO." " Perfect. I know what to do. So when can we go?" I ask her. " Now." ---------------------- Scene change. ---------------------- The once in a living room now appears outside on a cloud, with a giant skyscraper looking to be infinite. That's not good.
