The True Me

Chapter 39 - Dragonshy part 2

As Twilight and I left the cave, the other girls looked at us expectantly.
"So? Is he going to leave?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"No." Twilight shook her head,
"What! What happened?"
"Lightningman talked to it in some strange language," Twilight said as I sat down and leaned against the rock that Fluttershy was gonna hide behind. "But when we left, he just said he warned him about something."
"So much for persuading him." Rainbow Dash said.\
"What do we do now?" Applejack asked.
"Well obviously, it's time for some pony charm." Rarity said as she started to walk in.
"Don't expect to get too far!" I call. I sigh as I start to hear some talking from inside. But then I heard a growl and a shriek as rarity was thrown bodily from the cave. I managed to catch her.
"Huh. Didn't expect him to actually throw you out of the cave."
"You knew this was gonna happen?" She asked me.
"Yeah. I warned him you would try to take his stuff. That's basically stealing. Oh also..." I smacked her in the head. "Don't steal from a dragon."
"Fine." Rarity pouted.
Suddenly I heard a horn. I looked to see Pinkie Pie with a ridiculous looking costume.
"You look ridiculous." Applejack says.
"Exactly! Sharing a laugh is a surefire way to get a friend!" She walked inside. "HI!" There was a huge crash and Pinkie walked out half limping. "I guess he doesn't like laughing or sharing." She said as Rainbow Dash grew angry.
"Alright, that's it, We tried persuasion, charm... whatever pinkie did. It's time to stop fooling around, I'm going in!"
"Rainbow! NO!" Twilight tried to stop her.
"Don't worry. He'll just throw her, Fluttershy will come." I smile.
There was suddenly a huge roar as Rainbow was sent flying into the rock. I wince. "Ohhh... that's gotta hurt."
"Why didn't you catch her?" Asked Twilight
"Her getting sent into the rock is a canon part of this." I shrug. Suddenly the dragon roars and all the girls zip together. The dragon breathes smoke at them sending them back into the rock and shattering it. Fluttershy looked at her friends on the floor. She narrowed her eyes at the dragon.
"How dare you?" she asked quietly. "HOW DARE YOU!" She yelled finally flying up to the dragon. "Listen here, mister. Just because you're big doesn't mean you get to be a bully! You may have huge teeth, and sharp scales, and snore smoke, and breathe fire. But you do not-- I repeat-- You do not! Hurt! My! Friends! You got that?"
The dragon actually whimpered and looked at me for help. I merely shrugged and called.
"I gave you a warning. I just didn't want you to know everything. Sorry." The dragon sighed and said to the Fluttershy
"But the rainbow one kicked me." Rainbow Dash nodded in satisfaction and I hit her on the back of the head.
"Yeah, but she's loyal to her friends and country. She just wanted to protect them. Like I told you." I said. I then said to Rainbow Dash. "Your an idiot for kicking a dragon."
"Anyway." Fluttershy rolled her eyes kindly. "But you're bigger than she is, and you should know better. You should also know better than to take a nap where your snoring can become a health hazard to other creatures."
"But I..."
"Don't 'But I' me, mister. What do you have to say to yourself?"
"I'm sorry," Buraki said.
"Thank you." She smiled. "Now can you please leave."
"Wait!" I called.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to keep in touch with him. Buraki. Can I use some of your treasure so I can make you something to keep in contact?"
"Will all of the gold stay with me?"
"I pinkie promise that all your gold will stay with you. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." I involuntarily shudder as I remember the "other" version of this rhyme.
"Alright." He nods and I walk inside. I pull out the harmonic wand and I start to manipulate the gold and putting my own magic in it. Whenever I wanted to talk to buraki or Buraki wanted to talk to me, all he had to do was say my name into it and my voice in my head would be projected towards him, and his voice would be projected into my mind. I look and call him. "finished!" I call and explain how it works. He smiles and grabs all his stuff.
"Goodbye lightning man. Ponies." He flys away
"YAY!" Everyone cheers.
"Let's go home." I grab them all into a hug and with a loud crack, we disapparate and reappear next to Spike.
"Spike, take a letter." Spike sighs in relief.
"With pleasure."
"Dear Princess Celestia, I am happy to report that the dragon has departed our fair country and that it was my good friend, Fluttershy, who convinced him to go. This adventure has taught me to never lose faith in your friends. They can be an amazing source of strength and can help you overcome even your greatest fears.
Always your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle." I smile.
"I'm gonna go to school. Alright?"
"ok. Bye lightningman." They wave bye and I leave
