Chapter 4 A 'Normal' Day In Ponyville

Ok, I just thought about my life, up until now, its been odd, with minor bumps, and twists, but this just takes the cake. How. The Fuck. Did I miss the giant, fucking castle!? I mean, ive been standing here, for like....10 minutes atleast, and ive been in this world, for what? Over 24 hours? So how, HOW DID I MISS THE FUCKING GIANT CRYSTAL!!?

"How duh fuck!?" I gasped to myself, feeling both dumb, and severely pissed off at my lack of vision, Jesus, I need my glasses back, but besides from the obvious, I had made it to my next destination for the day, as I already told Selene, that I was going to run by Twilight, mostly to keep a certain 'Sun Butt' off my case

So, as I approached the massive fortress, I was actually impressed by the design. Unlike the show, I could see every detail, like how the tone of the navy crystal base, turned lighter as the frame stretched out, almost like Twilight's old tree house, along with the crystal vines, that hung from beneath the castle, huh, I guess it really does look like a tree, in a way?

"Seriously though, how did I miss this? I mean, its not like its bloody hard to miss! Then again...this is me." I continued to ask myself, but I was already drawn to the two guards, standing firm outside the golden staircase, and double-doors, as their glare was already pointing in my direction, then again, I was in Nox's form, so that's understandable, then I tried to hold back my sarcasm

"Hello! Might be able to see, Twilight Sparkle, on this fine day?" I inquired, then I mentally slapped myself. "I forgot to say 'Princess', didn't I? Fuck me, upside-down, with a telephone pole!"

"That's Princess Twilight Sparkle, so address her as such, and what business do you have with her, creature?" No shit she's a princess! But honestly, creature? Really?

"Ok, I don't have time for this..." I grumbled, as my gaze shifted to that of a bored look, so I quickly stepped behind the two, as I approached the doors, then, with my right hand, I knocked. "Hey, Twilight! I'm hear!"

Now, to say that was my brightest move, would be straining the truth, but honestly, I was just minding my own business, until two fucks attacked me, or tried to. I heard them yell something, so I turned, and grabbed the nearest spear, then with a flick of my wrist, I threw him down the stairs, then the other threw a magic blast at my face, only for my newly acquired reflexes to evade the attack, then I kicked the spear from the steps, as I grabbed it, then I pointed to the last guard.

"Ready to see what happens next?" I asked, trying not to laugh at how weak these two were, they were beaten by me! Which is really just embarrassing, who can loose to a fucking walking corpse!? Oh wait...

"What's going on here?" Ah! Just in time, as I turned around on my heel, I saw Twilight, staring at the guards, then to me, to which I shrugged

"Self-defence, not my problem." I answered truthfully, to which she sighed, rubbing her head in annoyance, mostly to the guards I think

"Ok...just don't do it again, atleast not so violently, these guards are suppose to protect me, after all, so you can't fault them from doing their jobs," Twilight responded, as I nodded, looking at the two guards, as the one from the steps groaned from the impact he had with the stairs. "And you two, please just inform me if someone is here, just to avoid confusion."

"Yes, your Majesty!" They saluted, only for Twilight to sigh, then she gestured for me to follow, as I waved the two off with a small laugh, as they both glared back at me, then I whispered to Twilight, even with the doors closed

"Hate the whole 'Majesty', thing?" I asked, as she rolled her eyes

"You have no idea, even so, you still should have just asked for them to get me." Twilight retorted with concern, but I just laughed at her answer

"Same outcome, no matter how you slice it," I answered, as I swear I saw her smirk. "So then, what might you want to know about me?"

That did it, as her smile grew, I felt a disturbance in the force, as I dragged, literally dragged, into the library, then she sat me down, as she levitated a whole bunch of papers over, and to my surprise, she had a pen, now 'that' was new to me, and i'm serious, wasn't all about ink and quills before? But I was too worried about the grin on her face, and the sparkle, no pun intended, in her eyes.

"Ok, first, no going overboard, I can only answer a few questions a-day, so make them count, and second, I want two promises from you." I asked calmly, as she stopped to consider it, then she nodded sheepishly

"Ok, just as long as these promises don't entail anything dark, or impossible, other than that, i'll happily agree to whatever your terms may be." Twilight replied happily, so I nodded, putting a hand to my chin in thought

"Ok, my first promise, you cannot, and I mean, you 'cannot' tell Celestia about me, or my powers," I have no idea how she would react to my abilities of time manipulation, so best keep it on the down-low, for now anyways, then I saw Twilight's mouth open. "If you're going to ask why, do you really think she wants another warper of reality around? To which she can't leash?"

"No, I guess it would be best, but I really don't like the idea of keeping this from her..." Twilight responded with a frown, but I just patted her head

"I know, just until I feel I can tell her myself, is that fine?" I asked, to which she thankfully agreed to, then I narrowed my gaze, as she shifted from my mask's serious look. "Now...For my last promise, or more of a favor..."

"What is it?" She asked with a hint of fear, then I leaned towards her, as she looked at me with fear, or something else, I can't quite tell, then, with a cheery voice, I yelled

"Let me talk to a dragon! Pleeeease!?" I yelled with glee, as she sat with a dumbfounded expression, I really don't see how that's weird, dragons are awesome!

"Wait...that's it?" Twilight asked, still looking at me with confusion, so I sighed, seriously woman! I want to see a dragon!

"Yes, do you know how much I love dragons?" I asked, as she shook her head. "Alot, a whole goddamn lot! More than Pinkie likes cake!"

Wish I didn't say that now, as I saw the doors burst open, as Pinkie charged at me, then with a surprising amount of strength, she tackled me to the floor, as I felt the wind fly from my lungs, as I stared at the horrified mare, as if I just murdered a house, filled with puppies, not that I would, they're too cute to die!

"WHAT!!? HOW CAN YOU LOVE DRAGONS, MORE THAN CAKE!!? ITS CAKE!!?" She practically screamed into my mask, to which I slyly retorted

"Because, they are the most powerful, and majestic creatures to ever live, and they have some badass looks to boot!" I shouted to her, to which I lifted the mare off me, and I pinned her to the ground. "I like to see cake beat that!?"

Then Pinkie frowned, as her face seemed to darken at my answer, but I held my ground.

"What was that?" She asked, her bouncy voice, not cold, and distant, so I spoke clearly for her

"Dragons. Beat. Ca-"

*SPLAT*

I couldn't react in time, as a pink cake was smashed into my face, as I could taste the strawberry seeping through the holes, to which I fell back, wiping the icing out of my eyes, as I cracked my knuckles, as nothing else seemed to matter at the moment, as I glared at the Element of Laughter with malice, as she did also.

"Oh its on!" I dared, as she trailed her hooves on the floor, as I laughed evilly. "You wanna prove me wrong? You want to stop the greatness, that is dragons? Then come and get me."

"I'll show you!" She challenged, as we leapt for each other, yelling out like a pack of Timberwolves, both of us ignoring Twilight, as she stood a fair distance away, trying not to intervene, which was fine by us both

We both collided with each other, as we rolled on the floor, as he cursed from the impact, only for Pinkie to pin me again, as I grunted from her stone-like grip, which is literal in all cases.

"A cake is super-duper-jummy! AND, comes with multiple possibilities for design, and flavor!" Pinkie yelled into my face, so I kicked her off of me, as I grabbed her shoulders, and rammed her into the cold, glass-like wall, as my mask narrowed its eyes

"Can a cake fly? Can it breath elements of nature? Can it, BLOODY TALK!!?" I roared back, as I felt my pride, and nerdiness was on the line, nothing else mattered in this world, only this final, epic battle between rivals, and I will win! Until she somehow vanish from my grasp. "Duh fuck!?"

I only had a second to react, as I dodged another cake, as Pinkie tried to either kill me, or make me see the darkness, as she ran towards me, throwing more cakes from her hair, which was both impressive, and disgusting, as I dodged like Neo, then one managed to hit my leg, as I slid on the floor, crashing into Pinkie in the process, as I grabbed her, throwing her towards the wall again.

I would win, if I wasn't somehow, pinned to the wall myself, as Pinkie held me against the wall, using fucking hands! Yes, she had gloves, that acted like hand! Duh fuck is with this chick, and forth-wall-breaking? But still, I was glaring daggers at her sea-blue eyes, as she glared back.

"Can a dragon, taste delicious?" She inquired

"Depends how you cook it! Do you like it medium or rare!?" I barked back, then I coyly asked. "Can a cake live for over 100 years?"

"Depends, do you see Littlepip, or Blackjack around?" This bloody mare! How fuck did she-oh yeah, forth-wall, sad, but true

"Wait..." I spoke calmly for the first time, as I glanced at Twilight, who seemed to be writing like a maniac, on LSD, then my mind went to a far-off place, where a spark had ignited in the farest mountains, past the widest oceans, then back to me. "Pinkie, level with me here?"

"Sure." She responded, her voice cautious, and firm

"What if, and stay with me here, we made a cake...that looked like a dragon...?" I spoke with as much seriousness as I could muster, then I saw her eyes light up, as she gripped the sides of my mask, before gasping

"That...Is the most super, awesome, amazing, epicest idea, EVER!!!" She agreed, as I clicked my fingers, to which I pointed right at her

"And what if we give it the power, to breath flames!" I added, as Pinkie bounced up and down, as I frantically grabbed a sheet of paper, along with a spare pen, that Twilight had with her, then I proceeded to scribble the ideas down, as I felt the endless ideas, drill from my head, and onto the page, like wildfire

"Oh-Oh!, give it glowing eyes! We can do that!" Pinkie pointed with a hoof, as I wrote it down, then she grabbed me, and pulled me towards the door, but I halted, as Pinkie flew over me, smashing through the door itself, as I winced at the sound of pony, meeting high-value mahogany

"Twi! We'll pick this us tomorrow! For we have embarked on a quest of both delicious-" I began with a proud voice, as my legs shook with anticipation of running, then Pinkie's head burst through the hole she made

"-And badass proportions! Seeya Twi!" Pinkie waved with a massive smile, as I threw myself through the remaining door, leaving another, massive hole in my wake, but I just rolled, as I followed after the pink demon-thing? I don't really know what to call Pinkie

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I...really can't describe what just happened, if I could, I wouldn't have written so much, I mean, a new creature from another world!? Not to mention, his ability to control, and manipulate time, or so ive heard, and now, he's gone...to make a cake, that looks like a dragon, with Pinkie?

Well, I guess its good to see that he isn't a threat, not that his remarks weren't violent, but he honestly seems nice, I still don't understand why he wants me to keep his exsistance to the Princess a secret, does he not trust her? Or is that she knows about him? Or is this something else?

"AHH! Why does this always happen to me!?" I cried out, as I carefully organized my notes, so I could record the most important information, like interactions, personality, quirks, the usual, then I heard the doors to the library open, as the wood fell from the holes the two made. I swear, one of these days, Pinkie is going to do something, that I can't fix

"Umm, Twilight? What happened to the doors? And why was Pinkie with a strange, metal pony? Better yet, why are they leaving scrap pieces of notes around?" Spike asked, as he held up a crushed note, then he stared at me with concern, as I just slammed my head against the table, groaning "Twilight? What's wrong?"

"Ok, I got to stop thinking for the rest of the day, they both hurt my brain." I grumbled to myself, as I ignored Spike's banter about the two, I just wanted information, why meeee?"
