//------------------------------// // 15: Talking cat and angry sparkles! // Story: Equestrian Adventure! // by DerpyHooves320 //------------------------------// I awoke from my sleep, sitting up, I felt all the sand sticking onto my back. I looked at the hand mirror on an end table that was by the bed. I reached over, grabbing it, I looked into it. I saw my reflection, confirming that it had worked, but then I felt a headache start to form. "Damned side affects" I said, looking on the other side of the bed, I noticed that Fluttershy was no longer in the bed. I got out of the bed, heading towards the front door of the house, I heard some one singing in another part of the house. I walked back up the stairs, hearing the singing in a room to the left, I walked to it. I twisted the doorknob, opening it all the way, only to find out that it was the bathroom. I froze from embarrassment, because Fluttershy was in the shower and there were no curtains. She was still singing, her back to me, but she turned around when she scrubbed her hair. Seeing me, she froze in place, an intense blush forming on her face. "Well......sorry?" I said breaking the silence, only for her to scream and throw a bottle of shampoo at me, hitting me straight in the head. My head went with the motion, only for me to fall backwards. "Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry Zach!" I heard Fluttershy say, but I just lay there motionless, for I had been scarred for life for the third time now. I lifted my head a little, seeing that she had gotten out of the shower and put a towel on, I relaxed a little and started getting up. "No no, it's my fault, I opened the door because I was looking for you, and had no idea that you were showering" I said, now rubbing the bump on my forehead. I grabbed the shampoo off the floor, and it's name caught my eye. "Zap Apple conditioner, gives you a morning buzz?" I read out loud, looking back at Fluttershy I saw that almost her entire face was red from embarrassment. "I-I can explain?" She said, hiding behind her mane. "What's there to explain? It's just shampoo" I said, putting the bottle on the bathroom counter. "By the way, you look nice when your hairs wet" I said walking away, I heard Fluttershy close the door. I walked back down the stairs, then decided to explore the place. I walked through the front room, where a little bunny was glaring at me, as if I was the town criminal or something. I proceeded to the next room, where I was greeted with the kitchen. I ran straight to the fridge....wait, fridge? "What in the hell? I thought they didn't have electricity!" I said, wondering when they even made an operating fridge when they still had hay for roofs. "It doesn't run on electricity, it runs on magic" Fluttershy said from behind me. I turned around, seeing that Fluttershy was wearing a beautiful green dress, I made a whistling sound, causing a blush to appear on her face. "Looking good" I said, she made a little 'eep' sound, then hid behind her mane. "Eh, I have that affect on girls, because I'm to smexy" I said, doing a fabio hair flip, making my hair become extremely messed up. Fluttershy giggle a little. "Your weird" she said, smiling as she walked over to a counter. She reached up to a cabinet, opening it then pulling out a box of 'mighty wheats'. "Most of the stuff here sounds like stuff back home" I said, looking at the box of cereal. "Reminds me of that mini wheats cereal I hid in my footlocker" I said, reaching in and pulling out one piece. It looked exactly like them, straight down to the sugar coating. Shrugging my shoulders, I plopped it in my mouth, only to realize that it had a little more sugar on it then expected. Fluttershy watched as I made some weird faces in response tothe sugar, then decided to tell me. "Oh yeah, this is the over sugared kind that Pinkie gave me" she said, pulling one out and eating it. "But their still tasty" she said, eating it without making a face. I swallowed the one I had received, then decided to skip breakfast for now. "That was super sugary" I said, getting up from the table. I failed to relize that I had sat down without acknoledging it. I was about to say something to Fluttershy, but stopped the I heard knocking on the front door. "I'll get it!" I yelled, dashing to the door. Swinging it open, I was met with a startled Twilight. "You spooked me" she said, re-composing herself. "Is Fluttershy here?" She asked, looking behind me to see her walking up behind me. "Yes Twilight, what is it?" She asked, then Twilight pulled out a pet kennel from behind. "I found her outside my castle, and decided to bring her here" she said, handing it to Fluttershy. Out of curiosity, I peeked inside, only to see my favorite feline. "Masquerade! Even in a different world your fat!" I said, grabbing it from Fluttershy. I opened it, grabbing my cat from the kennel, I hugged her. She hissed then scratched my nose, but I didn't mind, because her claws were short. "I guess we found the owner" Twilight said laughing, we all shared a laugh, then stopped when the cat leaped from my arms, landing on a table nearby. "I do not wish to be held" she said, surprising me, Fluttershy, and Twilight. "What? All animals are able to talk, you just didn't take the time to listen, Zach" she spoke again, then started giving herself a tongue bath. "Well okay then" I said, slowly turning away from my cat. "What else is there we should know about?" I asked Twilight. "Well, we teleported the room out of my castle, and construction should be done soon for re-creating a place for you to stay" she explained, I gave an impressed whistle. "Well that's great" I said, then remembered that I haven't told her yet. "Oh yeah! I'm also n-" "No longer a vampire?" Fluttershy said, beating me to the good part. "I checked this morning, and you talk in your sleep" she said, I instantly grabbed her. "What did I say?!" I asked, she looked completely frightened from how quick I did that, but calmed down after a few seconds. "You said something about a Jenna" she said, I just stared at her, then let her go. "Why? Is it important?" She asked, I just shaked my head. "It's a tale for another time" I said, thinking about what I had just heard. 'I never talk in my sleep' I thought, then I dismissed the thought, mainly because of how this world was, I might be changing slowly. "So Zach, care to explain the vortex we came through?" Masquerade asked, bringing me from my thoughts. "Not a single clue" I said, shrugging my shoulders. I looked at Twilight, thinking about what to say. "Well, thanks for bringing my cat back, I guess" I said, scratching the back of my head. "Your welcome" she said, she turned around and was about to leave. "Want to come along?" She asked, looking back at me. I shrugged my shoulders and stepped outside. "Sure" I said, turning around, I quickly told Fluttershy something. "Watch her for me, she might need a bit of attention" I said, she nodded before I turned around and started walking with Twilight. She started walking when I was just behind her, so I decided to follow the leader instead of walking with the leader. We walked in silence for a bit, looking around, trying to strike up a conversation. "So Zach, can I ask a few questions?" Twilight asked, slowing down so we were walking side by side. "Fire away" I said, she nodded her head. "So what is the human world like?" She asked, I started chuckling a little. "What's so funny?" She asked, making me laugh a bit louder. I calmed down, then looked at her with a serious face. "That place is a hellhole, nothing is good about the Earth anymore, because we humans turned that place to shit with our inventions" I said, earning a scared look from Twilight. "We have the technology there to keep everyone healthy and safe, but we're greedy, and want little pieces of paper for anyone to have it." I finished, Twilight looked worried. "So, nothing like Equestria?" She asked, I just shook my head no. "Okay....next question, how old are you?" She asked, avoiding anything else about other humans. "Fluttershy asked me that last night, but I can answer again. 14 years old, 15 on May 5th" I said, Twilight had a notebook and pen in her hand now. "Alright, what is your favorite things in life?" She asked, I made a devious grin. "I love video games, especially the ones that are filled with blood, gore, and destruction!" I said, I heard a pencil snap, I looked at Twilight to see that she was now scared shitless. "What?" I asked, she just stared at me. "You have a problem, and I am NOT leaving you alone until we fix it!" She said, grabbing the back of my shirt. She started pulling me along, gaining confused looks from the other residents of Ponyville. I looked left to see Applejack walking towards us. "Alright, what'd you do to deserve this?" She asked, walking along side me as I was pulled. "Said that I love video games that are bloody" I said, making her stop for a second, then continue walking. "Let me guess, sh-" she was cut off when Pinkie's head suddenly appeared under her hat. "She said that you got problems and she won't let you leave her sight until she gets rid of those problems and gets you to focus on liking a different type of game genre, then she will lead you around town and give you a tour then take you to where your place is being finished!" Pinkie said in one long breath of air, making my jaw drop to the ground, almost literally. "How do you fit under her hat like that?" I asked, then Pinkie dissapeared back underneath it, then came parachuting down from above. "I give up" I said, then Twilight continued to drag me. After about ten more minutes of being dragged, we arrived at her castle, then a thought came to mind. "You could've just teleported us here, that would've been way faster" I said, then she stopped to face palm real quick. "Whatever! Just hold on a second" she said, then we teleported into the room I had first appeared in. Once more, my body had no idea what happened, but I held it in and ran to a plant real quick. "These are conveniently placed at every location we teleport to" I said, walking away from the plant. Twilight just gave me an unamused look, then summoned two chairs and one table. "You sit there, and I'll sit here" she said, seating herself. Me being me, I didn't want to sit in the chair, so I laid down on the table, earning an angry snort from Twilight. "Chairs are boring" I said, closing my eyes and fake sleeping. Before I even knew what happened, I found myself face first in a plant, luckily it wasn't the one I used. "Now then, are you going to cooperate?" She asked me as I walked away from the plant, dirt all over my face. I sat down in the chair, much to Twilight's disgust, I brushed all the dirt onto the table. "I have no idea what cooperation is" I said, making Twilight even angrier then before. "How much do I need to teach you?!" She practically yelled at me. I waved a hand in front of my face, then reached into my pocket and pulled out a Tic-Tac. "Here, this will help with your breath" I said, plugging my nose with one hand, while handing her the Tic-Tac with the other. Last thing I saw before getting knocked out, was Twilight's mane and tail lighting on fire, while here fur changed to white.
