“Break!” I shouted as fired another shot at the red and white target, destroying.
“Wow, never seen you practice before.” Kodi said, amazed by the Hacking Gun’s powers.
“Well, it was nothing Kodi, I haven’t been using it for a while since there hasn’t been a threat for a while.” I shrugged as I aimed at another target and shot Paralyze at it, causing it to be electrocuted before exploding. “Then again, it’s quite fun to use this thing.”
So anyway, It was another fine day in Ponyville, as I was practicing with my Hacking Gun while also training Kodiak to be a good pup, even though he kinda is, while Twilight and Spike work on a new spell. After I finished up my training and teaching Kodiak some basics tricks. We turned to see Spike posed, with a rock on his head, some leaves around his neck, and holding a stick. Twilight grunted, her horn shining, as she cast a spell, turning the leaves into a nice little tuxedo jacket and a complete red bowtie. Dang, that's awesome! I wished I could do magic...oh wait, I have my Hacking Gun, but I haven't used it for a while.
"Wow, that's so cool!" Kodi said, awed by how powerful Twilight is.
"Thanks Kodi." Twilight said, petting Kodi on the head as she continued "Now, watch this!" She concentrated again, her horn shining, and shot a beam at Spike, transforming his stick into a fancy cane.
Spike smiled as he looked at it and his new tux. "Awesome!" He exclaimed in joy.
"Eyes over here, Spike!" Twilight called out.
"Uh, sorry." Spike said as he resumed his pose.
"So why does he need to stay in position, Twilight?" I asked curiously.
"Because Ren..." Twilight began another lecture, per usual. "For this to work, it's crucial to keep my concentration-"
Suddenly. the rock that was on Spike's head magically turned into a top silk hat. Well for a few seconds because the hat was transformed back into a rock and fell on his head, hurting him. The magic soon quickly wore off of the tux and cane as they were both turned back into their original forms.
"Well, better luck next time, I guess..." I muttered, smiling sheepishly at Twilight, who made a stern expression.
"Spike! This magic needs my full attention to make it happen!" Twilight snapped. "There's no other way."
"I can't help it." Spike said as he pointed up. "Look!" Huh? Now what? We all looked and saw a familiar pink face, as she poked her head out from a thin tree.
"Oh hey Pinkie, how you doing?" I asked, smiling towards the pink pony. Although, I was quite confused on how did she hide her body from that thin body. But then again, I remember the other mares telling me not to question Pinkie's randomness, but although, I am curious to know why.
"Hey, what's up with that weird hat on your head?" Kodi asked curiously, but Pinkie ignored him as she looked up at the sky. She quickly jumped over to hide in a nearby bush, slid under a raised platform porch, and somehow slipped under a boulder, all the while keeping an eye on the sky.
I chuckled upon seeing what Pinkie is doing. "Good old Pinkie Pie..." I muttered.
"Super extra Pinkie today." Kodi added. Pinkie then tip-toed out when her tail started twitching. Wait, how did she do that?
“Pinkie?” I called out to her, but she still ignored me.
“Pinkie Pie, what in the wide-wide world of Equestria are you up to?” Twilight asked as we walked over her.
“The twitching means my Pinkie Sense is telling me stuff’s gonna start falling!” Pinkie said. “You should all be ducking for cover!” We all looked at each other in confusion on what was she bambling about.
“Pinkie…what are you talking about-” I was cut-off as something slimy and green fell into my face.
“Ribbit!”
“Huh?” I picked up on what was on my face and became surprised to see a frog to just land on my face. Kodi snickered upon the frog hopping onto my face while I just raised a brow at it. “Where did you come from, little guy?”
“Oh, I’m so, so sorry!” We turned to Fluttershy flying while pulling a tiny wagon filled with frogs, that she was carrying saddlebags and a basket to carry the rest, including one on her head. “Are you alright, Ren?”
“Y-yeah, I’m good!” I said smiling towards her as I gave her back her little frog friend.
“Fluttershy, what’s up with the frogs?” Kodi asked.
“Oh, you see, I just couldn’t stand to see the pond getting crowded, what with the frogs hopping into each other and all? So I decided to take as many as I can to a new home at Froggy Bottom Bog.” Fluttershy explained.
“Huh, I see now.” I said, not minding about the frog jumping onto my face. “Well just be careful, alright?”
“Don’t worry Ren, I’ll be alright.” Fluttershy smiled sweetly before taking her leave.
“Well, it’s a good thing that I didn’t get a…frog…in my face.” Twilight said as she shuttered in fear.
“Yeah but…I feel like I heard about the place Fluttershy mentioned…” Kodi said in thought.
“Hmm? You heard of that place?” I asked curiously.
“Well yeah, in case you forgot that I traveled around Equestria for four months in search for a friend and for my parents.” Oh, that’s right. He did say that back when we first met. Still sadden upon hearing that many ponies flee from him upon knowing his ability and that his parents would just leave him as a pup. “Besides, that was pretty amazing, Pinkie!”
“Yeah.” Spike agreed. “Pinkie Pie predicted something would fall, and it did!”
“Oh come on.” Twilight said, shaking her head and rolling her eyes. “She said something would fall and a frog just happened to fall a little after she said so, a coincidence! Nothing else to it.”
“Oh Twilight.” I chuckled. “You can’t honestly believe that? Besides, like that one guy I saw in that movie said… ‘There’s no such thing as a Coincidence’.
“But wait, isn’t coincidence a word?” Kodi asked, oblivious to know that quote.
“Well actually Kodi, it is a word, but people use that word when you're solving mysteries and such, if you know what I mean.” I explained it to him, only to further Kodi’s confusion.
“My tail, my til!” We turned to Pinkie, whose tail started twitching again. “Twitcha-twich, twitcha-twitch! Something else is gonna fall!”
Me, Spike, and Kodi looked up to analyze the sky, just in case. Twilight just scoffed and kept walking and said “Oh Pinkie please! Nothing else is gonna fa-AUGGGH!”
What the?! We looked to see Twilight had just fallen into a ditch. Wait, how could we not see that coming?
“Well…that’s both awesome and weird at the same time.” I said, impressed by how Pinkie predicted that. “But are you okay Twilight?”
“Do I look okay Ren?” Twilight asked, giving me a glare. I smiled sheepishly at her as Spike turned to Pinkie with a worried expression.
“Is it safe to go help her?”
“It’s okay, my tail stopped twitching.” Pinkie assured before throwing away her umbrella hat and trotting off merrily. Sometimes, I’ll never understand that mare.
I used my Hacking Gun and shot ‘Move’ to levitate Twilight back up, who was feeling ache after falling into that ditch.
“Ha Ha! That was amazing!” Spike laughed out.
“Yeah, I didn’t know Pinkie could even do that at all!” Kodi agreed.
“Oh please.” Twilight muttered angrily. “I told you guys, it’s nothing but a coincidence.”
“Come on Twilight.” I said, rolling my eyes while smirking at her. “You just have to accept that the impossible is possible.”
“Oh please Ren.” Twilight said, glaring at me. “You’ll believe in anything that’s unusual.”
“Well you’re talking to someone who reads many manga's and played many video games, so yeah, my imagination is pretty big.” I gave her a toothy grin, much to Twilight’s annoyance.
“Um…Twilight?” We turned to see Applejack walking towards us, giving us a curious expression. “Why were you hanging out in a ditch?”
“Because Pinkie Pie predicted it!” Spike answered loudly.
“Yeah, with that Pinkie Sense of hers!” Kodi added.
“Honestly, Spike, she did not.” Twilight said sternly. “Two coincidences in a row like this may be unlikely but it’s still easier to believe than twitchy tails that predict the future.”
“Twitchy tail?! The Pinkie Sense?!” Applejack gasped as she bolted underneath a cart full of corn and carrots. This caused me to raise a brow at her, does she know about this as well?
“It’s alright Applejack, the prediction came true.” I reassured her.
“Oh no, Applejack, please don’t tell me you believe in his stuff too?” Twilight asked.
“I know it doesn’t make much sense, Twi’.” Applejack said. “But those of us who’ve lived in Ponyville long enough eventually learned if Pinkie’s a twitching you better listen.”
“Okay…” I muttered. I wonder if everypony who lives in Ponyville might know of this?
Suddenly, Pinkie popped out of nowhere like usual, as her ears started to act funny. “My ears are flapping, my ears are flapping!”
“YIKES!” Kodi and Spike hid behind me in me. “W-what does that mean?!” Kodi asked, fearfully.
“I’ll start a bath for you!” Pinkie exclaimed as she looked at Twilight with a sympathetic expression. Twilight couldn’t help but laugh at that, as Kodi and Spike started to back away from her while I just stood there in confusion.
“A what?” I asked her.
“A bath, Rennie! You don’t know what that is?” Pinkie asked, appearing behind me.
“I know what it is but…what do you mean by that?” I asked curiously while Twilight finished up her laughter.
“Oh please, a bath?!” Twilight asked. Suddenly, I saw a pony galloping with a cart full of hay behind him, and it looks like he’s going past that big mud puddle…
Oh crap! “This keeps getting more ridiculous-”
“Twilight, watch out!” I exclaimed as I pushed her out of the way, and gotten mud on myself. Eww, disgusting. I feel like a pig who was busy playing in the mud puddles. Look at me, I gotten mud on my face, hair, and my clothes, well except the Hacking Gun, that’s for sure.
“R-Ren, are you okay?” Twilight asked in concern.
I smiled sheepishly at her and said “Don’t worry Twilight, I’m okay. Just a little…”
“Muddy?” Kodi suggested.
“Yeah…”
“C’mon, Ren! Let’s get you all nice and clean!” Pinkie exclaimed, grabbing my hoof and took me….to who knows where I can get a bath.
Meanwhile
Well…this is awkward. I was in the bathtub in Sugarcube Corner. Apparently, Pinkie lives here in this sweet shop, well it was pretty lucky to her to live here and eat all the sweets, cakes, and candies as much as she want.
Anyway, Pinkie had me in a tub full with water and bubbles as I got the mud off of me. I even handed them my clothes, which somehow, Pinkie managed to wash and dry them off. This mare is the strangest one I’ve ever met so far…
“I’m really sorry that I got covered in mud Ren…” Twilight apologized.
“Nah, it’s okay…” I replied as Pinkie came in with some more vials of bubble soap on her head. “So Pinkie, how does our Pinkie Sense work? Just in case I won’t up end up like this again.” I said, blushing in embarrassment because I’m in a bathtub with two girls with me, which is so awkward and weird.
“Oh, that’s easy!” Pinkie started to explained as she placed the vial on the floor. “Sooo, basically, it works like this: I get different, little, niggling feelings and they mean different things. Like when my back is itchy, it means it’s my lucky day. And, when my knee gets pinchy, that means something scary’s about to happen.”
“I see…wow, that’s incredible!” I exclaimed, admiring her ability. You know, with something like that, that’ll make someone invincible.
“Is your knee pinchy now?” Twilight asked.
“No, but my shoulder’s achy. That means there’s an alligator in the tub.”
“Wait what?” I asked. Pinkie dunked her head inside the water and pulled out an…
“GAAAH!” Me and Twilight screamed upon being frightened by a….baby alligator? Pinkie was holding the baby alligator with her teeth. Wait, was that little alligator inside that tub the whole time?!
“How come your knee didn’t get pinchy” Twilight screamed in fear. “That isn’t just scary, it’s downright dangerous!”
Pinkie placed the alligator on the floor and explained his presence. “No, it’s not, silly! This is my pet alligator, Gummy. He’s got no teeth. See?” Her put furiously attacked Pinkie’s whole body, but it was ineffective as he had only gums to show for it. Heh, that’s a pretty clever name for a baby alligator that has no teeth. “Haha!”
“Okay, Okay…I get it.” Twilight said as she calmed down and left the bathroom. After I was done, Pinkie hand me a towel as I wrapped it around my waist. Soon after, I headed for the dressing closet and put my clothes back on. Thirty seconds later, I came out with my newly clean clothes, same as usual like the blue hoodie sweater, black sweats, red and white shoes, including my Hacking Gun that I put behind me .
“Wow, you look better than ever Ren!” Pinkie complimented me.
“Thanks Pinkie.” I said as we exited out of the dressing room and headed back downstairs where Kodi, and Twilight were waiting. Kodi were busy eating some sweets while they waited for me to be done in the bath.
“Oh hey Ren, done already?” Kodi asked.
“Yeah, I’m feeling okay now.”
“Cake?” Kodi offered. I nodded and took a bite of it. Hmm, it taste so good, that cheered me up a lot. We left to shop and decided to take a walk around the place. While walking, I decided to a little talk with my friends.
“You know, I have to say Pinkie, this Pinkie Sense of yours is quite an amazing talent you have.” I smiled towards her.
“Ahh, thanks Rennie!” Pinkie said happily.
“Well I still don’t believe all this…special power stuff, it’s nothing but a lot of mumbo-jumbo.” Twilight argued.
“What’s not to believe? You do magic, what’s the difference?” Pinkie asked, feeling a bit offended by that.
“Huge! For one thing…” Twilight exclaimed, ignoring me and Kodi giving her looks of disappointment. She still won’t accept it, I mean come on. Twilight then moved some items off a box and stood on top of it. She then cleared her throat and said “Magic is something you study and practice. It only happens when you decided to do it, and it’s meant to make something specific that you choose to happen, happen. With you, uh…it makes no sense at all!”
“But Twilight, you can’t deny on how she predicted those things that happen to both you and Ren.” Kodi replied.
“Yeah, besides, you can’t keep denying that the impossible is possible.” I shrugged, which Twilight glared at us.
“They’re right Twilight!” Pinkie exclaimed. “Sometimes it’s a bunch of random things happening to my body at random times that supposedly predict the future. I call them ‘combos’.”
“Combos?” Twilight, Kodi, and I asked in unison.
“Sure!” Pinkie hopped merrily after us. “You know, like, ear flop, then knee twitch, then eye flutter. That means the sky is about to be graced with a beautiful rainbow!”
“Really?” Kodi asked in awe.
“Yep!” Pinkie nodded. So wait, she can even predict when a rainbow would come. That’s…even more amazing!
“Yeah, sure…” Twilight muttered, shaking her head.
“Uh oh…” Me and Kodi looked at Pinkie, who began to act strange all of a sudden. “I feel a combo coming on. Ear flop, eye flutter, knee twitch!” Pinkie started to do those exact things, causing me and Kodi to look around up at the sky while Twilight just gave her a look, only for her to get slammed in the face by the door by Spike opening, who was carrying some books. He seems to not noticed what had just happened as he continue his way.
“Twilight, are you alright?” I asked in concern, rushing over to her as she lay on the floor in front of her door, almost flat as a pancake.
“Wait? I thought you said that combo would bring a beautiful rainbow?” Kodi asked.
“Oh no-no-no-no-no.” Pinkie corrected him, shaking her head. “You’re talking about ear flap, knee twitch, then eye flutter. This one was ear flap, then eye flutter, then knee twitch, that usually means ‘look out for opening doors’.”
“Huh, that’s really weird, but really awesome at the same time.” I said, smiling sheepishly asI I helped Twilight get back up.
“I don’t believe this….” Twilight muttered in annoyance.
“You don’t believe it because you don’t understand it.” Pinkie corrected, causing Twilight to be deep in thought. Oh boy, don’t tell me that she’s gonna try to solve this? This mare is quite…stubborn to even believe that they’re some things that you have to believe.
Later
Me and Kodi were at Twilight’s home, waiting for her and Pinkie to come out of the basement since I got nothing else to do besides this mange of mine I brought with me, just in case I got bored. I love reading books but I mostly prefer Manga’s anytime. I was busy reading another volume of DBZ, and right into the Android Saga. Kodi was sleeping on my lap, as he got so tired of waiting that he decided to go take a nap.
Suddenly, I heard the door open and saw Spike entered. “Oh hey Spike, where were you?”
“I just had to do some errands, so where’s Twilight?” Spike asked, looking around to find the purple unicorn.
“She’s downstairs apparently with Pinkie to try and solve that Pinkie Sense mystery.” I replied, putting my Manga back into my pockets and settling Kodi down gently, not trying to wake him up.
“Well, it is a mystery.” Spike agreed. “But then again, it’s quite amazing.”
“You can say that again, with that kind of talent, you might even win the lottery or become the luckiest guy or pony in the world.” I smiled, imagining what would it be like to have that Pinkie Sense.
“Yeah, but too bad Twilight won’t accept it.” Spike shrugged, which caused me to frown a little.
“Yeah about that. Twilight, has she ever been so….stubborn?”
“Yeah, Twilight always been the one for ‘facts and logic’.” Spike explained as he air-quoted that last part with his fingers.
“I see…” I muttered as I got up from the chair and headed downstairs. “I’ll be right back, I just need to speak with Twilight about this.” I walked downstairs and opened a door that lead into the basement. I saw Pinkie bounce past me, much to my surprise.
“Hey Pinkie, have you seen Twilight?”
“Uh-huh.” She replied with a nod before leaving the room.
“Okay, but where is she then?” I called back to her, but she didn’t hear me. Strange, I could’ve sworn Twilight was here. Suddenly, I heard a groan coming from behind the door. I closed the door and became shocked to see Twilight, flat like a pancake again. “Twilight, are you okay?” I asked in concern.
Twilight got back up again and glared at me. “Did you two plan this?!”
“Plan what?” I asked in confusion.
“Ergh, this can’t be happening, it makes no sense!” Twilight complained. “I have to figure this out!”
“You know Twilight.” I spoke up, with a serious expression. “You need to accept it and stop denying that Pinkie is special and has a special ability that allows her to do…anything.” I shrugged, making a soft smile. “So, you just need to consider on what I said earlier ago, that the impossible is possible.” I said as I opened the door and headed out.
“I will know Pinkie’s secret, and I will not rest until I figure this out.” Twilight vowed, which caused me to shake my head in disappointment. Twilight, why can’t you just accept it?
Me and Kodiak were back at home as we were laying down on the couch, taking a nap. I was still thinking about Twilight not accepting the Pinkie Sense but still, can’t she just accept it and stop being so stubborn? If she keeps trying so hard to research more about the Pinkie Sense, I feel like she would up getting hurt.
“Hey Ren…” I looked up to see Kodiak looking at me in a worried expression. “Do you think Twilight will be alright?”
“I hope so…I just can’t help but feel like that she might be pushing herself too far to try to get to know more about the Pinkie Sense.” I said, getting up from the couch.
“Yeah…” Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door, which made put on my shoes and walked over to the door. I opened it, revealing Twilight, Applejack, Spike, and Pinkie, who seemed to be shivering..a lot.
“Girls? What are you doing here?” I asked.
“Ren, we need to go and save Fluttershy! NOW!” Twilight exclaimed.
“W-what are you talking about? What happen to Fluttershy?!” I asked in worried.
“Do you remember when she said that she was heading over to Froggy Bottom Bog?”
“Yeah, why?”
“Froggy Bottom Bog is actually apart of the Everfree Forest!” Wait what?! Oh no!
“Oh, now I know why that name is so familiar!” Kodi exclaimed in shock.
“And you’re telling us this NOW?!” I exclaimed.
“Look, we’ll explain everything Ren!” Applejack said. “We need to go and save Fluttershy before it’s too late!”
“Okay!” I said as I went back inside and grabbed my Hacking Gun, before turning to Kodiak. “Stay here boy.”
“Um..okay?” Kodi nodded me and the girls headed out towards the Everfree Forest.
We finally arrived inside the Everfree Forest and made our way into the bog.
“So…care to explain on how did you girls knew about this until now?!” I asked.
“Well…” Twilight began to explain what happen. “I was following wherever Pinkie Pie would go and I gotten some trouble from her randomness.” Why am I not surprise that would be something Twilight would do? “And as soon as she met up with Applejack, Pinkie knew all along that I was following her and didn’t say anything say because she didn’t want to spoil the secret. But then, she started to shiver and she said something about a doozy, meaning something you’d never expect to happen is gonna happen at Froggy Bottom Bog!”
“Well I just hope she doesn’t end becoming a monster’s lunch or something!” I exclaimed. I just hope Fluttershy is alright. Suddenly, Pinkie began shuddering again.
“So…what you think happened to Fluttershy?” Spike asked.
“I hope nothing!” Applejack responded.
“I know but…but what you think happened?
“I’m trying to not think about it.”
“Me too…but I’m thinking about it anyway.” Spike said, worriedly. “Like, what if she exploded?!”
“Just exploded?” I asked, raising a brow. That’s the only thing you can think of, Spike?
“Yeah, like…BOOM!”
“Whoa!” Pinkie agreed.
“I know, right?”
“What if…” Pinkie thought for a while until she said. “What if she exploded, and then exploded again?!”
“Can you do that?!” Spike asked in shock. “Can you explode twice?!’
“What? Of course not!” I exclaimed in a deadpanned expression. “There’s no way she can explode twice!”
“But what if-” Spike winced in pain as Twilight stepped on his tail, giving him a stern glare.
“Would you two stop it?! I am sure she’s fine!” Twilight exclaimed.
“I hope you're right, for Fluttershy’s sake.” Applejack responded before turning back to the path. “Look, there’s Froggy Bottom Bog!” She yelled as we finally arrived to the place. Wow, No wonder why its called Froggy Bottom Bog, it’s full of frogs, millions of them hanging out around the lake, and it stank of peat moss and whatever else was around the murky waters.
“Oh sweet jesus!” I huffed as I tried to fan away the stink. “Who knew a bog can be this rank!”
“Fluttershy!” Applejack called out. Me and the others did so as well as we tried to fanned out for our friend. Where could she be? I walked around and saw Pinkie looked beneath a lily pad when out of nowhere, a frog hopped onto it. I looked past Pinkie and saw…
“Fluttershy!” I exclaimed as I ran over and hugged her. “You’re okay!”
“Of course,” Fluttershy replied, a little surprise as the others all closed in.
“Phew, what a relief.” Applejack sighed.
“I’m so glad everything’s alright!” Pinkie added.
“I’m sorry, I know it’s not nice to gloat but…” Twilight gave us a smirk. “I told you all there was nothing to worry about! Pinkie Pie said that whatever she was shuddering about-”
Suddenly, some kind of green mist fogged up around us, causing us to cough. What the heck?
“A doozy and-” Twilight started coughing from the green mist she inhaled. “The only doozy is how right I am.”
“Hey, where did this fog come from?” I asked myself. Suddenly, I noticed Spike, Applejack, Pinkie, and Fluttershy looked up and widening their eyes. I became confused and looked at what they saw-
Oh crap-baskets…
“Um…Twilight…” I muttered in shock and fear.
“Pinkie’s made a lot of predictions today but-” Twilight started coughing again. “What is that smell? But what we’ve seen here is there’s no point in believing you can’t see for yourself.”
“Well for once Twilight, I agree!” I said as I went over to her and pointed her head up, as she widened her eyes upon seeing a giant four-headed monster, each glaring angrily at us.
“I see it…but I don’t believe it!” Twilight said in dawning horror.
“W-what is that thing?!” I exclaimed as the four-headed monster yelled in anger.
“IT’S A HYDRA! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!” Twilight screamed as we began to run away in fear, but the Hydra began to chase after us. I think I heard of that name once, wait, of course, Hercules! I remember watching it from when I was six, I don’t remember much about it, but I know that this Hydra is the same one from the movie. Me and my friends just need to run away from that thing and survive, while also trying to defeat it as well.
“Everypony, up that hill!” Twilight exclaimed, but then we saw Spike struggling to free himself of the thick boggy water, the hydra started to get closer to him.
“Quick Twilight, get Spike! I’ll buy you all some time!” I yelled. Twilight didn’t hesitant and just nod as we ran after our friend.
As Twilight freed Spike, I brought out my Hacking Gun and shot ‘Break’ at it I then adjust the dial to ‘Break’ at it, but it swatted my attack away with one of its head. I kept shooting Break over and over, but it four heads keep dodging it or deflecting it.
“Oh come on!” I exclaimed. "Hold still already!"
“Forget it Ren!” Twilight yelled. “Just run!”
I let out a grunt and began running with the mares away from the Hydra as it roared at us from behind.
“For a giant monster, it sure knows how to dodge.” I exclaimed.
“Well even if you hit it, the Hydra will grow another head.” Twilight said, much to my confusion. “What? Don’t you know that Hydra’s are known for their power of Regeneration?” I widened my eyes upon realizing that. I forgot in Hercules, that the monster kept growing more and more heads no matter how many times Hercules kept destroying and slicing it.
“….Oh crap-baskets…” I muttered, remembering about it now.
“Why’s Pinkie still shuddering?” Spike pointed out. Pinkie was indeed shuddering and oddly keeping up with the others when she came to a halt.
“Oh look it that, it stopped. O-o-ohhhh, t-t-there i-i-is a-a-a-again!” Pinkie exclaimed, shivering like crazy.
We soon came to a cliff and the only way across was six pillars of rock, and we heard some thundering footsteps behind us.
“He’ll be up here in no time!” Twilight exclaimed, turning to us. “Quick, one at a time, everypony cross!”
“Um…” I turned to Spike, who was peering over the edge. “Twilight, do you know how to turn a Hydra into a mouse?”
“No.” Twilight responded, looking down the hill.
“How about a squirrel, or maybe a chipmunk?” I suggested, nervously.
“No!”
‘How about-“
“No small rodents of any kind!” Twilight snapped, cutting Spike off.
“…What about a cat?” I suggested, which made Twilight growl in anger at me. “What? I was just saying…”
“JUST CROSS!” Twilight screamed. Alright, alright, jeez…sorry. Fluttershy went first, Twilight throwing Spike so he’d make it, but Twilight and I noticed our ever-approaching enemy.
“He’s coming too close!” I called as Fluttershy and Spike made it to the other side.
Applejack made her way across, taking Pinkie by the tail. Oh great, we won’t make it in time if that Hydra comes to us right now. Well, only thing to do!
“Twilight, get across and go!” I said, much to Twilight’s shock.
“B-but Ren-”
“Just go! I’ll handle it myself!” I exclaimed as I took out my Megaphone Hacking Gun. Twilight hesitate at first but nodded and went to go across to the other side. The hydra came and tried to attack me, but I dodged and shot ‘Break’ at it, but it swatted it away again.
What is going on? I never have trouble with the other monsters and villains me and my friends faced. Could it be that I need more training with my Hacking Gun and my skills or…this Hydra was too smart to keep dodging and countering my attacks?
“Dang it! Stop doing that!” I shot ‘Burn’ at it, but it breathed fire right back it, destroying it. I widened my eyes upon seeing this. Great, this thing can breath fire as well, you got to be kidding me! “Alright, this is bad, how did Hercules defeat this thing again?” My thoughts were cut-off as the Hydra came attacking, causing me to barely dodged the attack. The attack however, widened the gap between the edge and the first stone pillar, which toppled the second, then third, and the fourth. Great, just great now.
The hydra roared in anger again as it was about to attack me until it was shot my a powerful magic beam. Wait, who shot that?
“Ren!” I turned around to see…
“Twilight?!” Twilight ran to my side with a worried expression. “What are you doing here? I thought you crossed the other side?!”
“I was about to, but I was afraid you wouldn’t make it in time, so I had to go and help you.” Twilight explained. Twilight, that was so nice of you but now we’re going to die.
The Hydra got back up and glared at us before roaring in anger and pain because of the bump on one of its head.
“T-T-Twilight! R-R-Ren!” We turned around to see Pinkie, who was still shivering. “You two have to jump!”
“What?! But we’ll never make it!” Twilight shouted.
“You’ll be fine!” Pinkie assured.
“No we won’t!” Twilight insisted by the Hydra started coming coming towards us.
“Twilight, we got no choice!” I exclaimed. “It’s the leap of faith, we can do this!”
“I-I-It’s y-y-your o-o-only h-h-hope!” Pinkie added with a shudder.
We looked at each other and let out a nod. Twilight gulped nervously as we backed up for a running start. Please, don’t let us die. I breathed in and out to calm my nerves until we heard the Hydra getting closer. Soon, me and Twilight began running as hard as we could. Before we could reach the ledge, the Hydra’s attack knocked the ground we were standing upon into the air. Twilight and I leapt, sailing across the pillar, but…we missed.
“AAAAAH!” Me and Twilight screamed in terror as we fell into our doom. Dang it, I should’ve brought my Hover-board! Well, it was fun as it lasted. As we continue to fall, I…felt like I had a flash before my eyes experience. Remembering the times I spent with my family, the good and bad times, it was so fun, and I never gotten the chance to see them..one more time…
Suddenly, my thoughts were cut-off as we landed onto something squishy, before being launched back up in the air and before you know it, we made it to the other side.
“W-what the…?” I muttered as I got back up slowly, and became relieved to see my friends again. Twilight then got back up and became joyed to see us too.
“Twilight! Ren! You guys are okay!” Spike said, hugging us.
“It’s good to see you all too.” I said, trying to catch my breath.
“I knew you could it do it, Twilight and Ren!” Pinkie cheered.
“Well, I don’t know how it happened; coincidence, dumb luck, or what.” Twilight sighed as she hugged me, Pinkie, and Spike. “But you said there’d be a doozy in Froggy Bottom Bog, and I’d say we had one hay of a doozy. I mean, that hydra-”
Twilight was cut-off as Pinkie started to shuddered again.
“What’s wrong, Pinkie?” I asked in worried.
“That wasn’t it.” Pinkie said, much to our shock.
“What wasn’t?” Spike asked.
“What are you taking about Pink?” Applejack demanded.
“The Hydra wasn’t the doozy.” Pinkie replied in a bewildered tone. I turned back to the Hydra, which one of its head spat a raspberry at us before taking its leave. Wow, even for a big scary monster, it acts like a little kid. “I’m still getting the shudder! Oo-o-oh, oo-o-oh! See, there it is again! Whatever the doozy was at Froggy Bottom Bog, my Pinkie Sense says it still hasn’t happened.”
“What?!” I exclaimed in shock.
“Wha…But I…What?!” Twilight snapped, shocked as I was. “The Hydrea wasn’t the doozy? How could it not be the doozy?! What could be more…doozier than that?!”
“Dunno, but it just wasn’t it.” Pinkie shrugged. Twilight’s eyes twitch as she gritted her teeth, her ears blowing steam, and when she jumped, her mane and tail burst into flames, her eyes full of anger. Holy cow! Now I know to never upset a girl ever! So this is what Princess Celestia meant, that she goes crazy whenever she encounters something that she can’t solve. We were looking at her nervously as the flames died down, her mane and tail and coat a tad scorched for who knows why.
“I give up!” Twilight sighed in defeat/
“Give what up, Twilight?” I asked in concern.
“The fight! I can’t fight it anymore…” Twilight said in depression. “I don’t understand, how, why, or what, but Pinkie Sense somehow…makes sense!” So wait, is she accepting the Pinkie Sense now? “I don’t see how it does, but it just does. You were right, Ren…I should’ve accepted it so sooner, and that the impossible is possible.”
“Y-y-you m-m-mean you b-b-believe?” Pinkie asked, continuing to shudder.
“Yup, I guess I do…” Twilight sighed in sadness.
Suddenly, Pinkie shuddered faster, before popping, inflating, stretching, twisting..Okay, this mare is the craziest one I’ve ever encounter so far in Equestria. Pinkie then went back to normal as she looked over herself before gasping.
“That was it! That’s the doozy!”
“Huh?!” Me and Spike asked with open mouths and raised brows.
“What?” Twilight asked as well.
“You believing.” Pinkie explained. “I never expected to happen! That was the doozy, and oh what a doozy of a doozy it was!” Pinkie then began trotting away merrily. “La-la-la-la-la…”
We all just stood there, with deadpanned expressions.
“…Sometimes, I’ll never understand her…” I muttered.
Everypony muttered in agreement before we all started laughing as we followed after Pinkie. You know, I just realized something, if it wasn't for Pinkie's Pinkie Sense, we wouldn't been able to save Fluttershy, even if Pinkie said that the Hydra wasn't the doozy. Something tells me in the near future that her Pinkie Sense might come in handy.
Later on, I returned home, where I was jumped on and been licked by Kodiak, who was extremely both worried and happy to see me again. He asked what happen back at Froggy Bottom Bog, and I told him everything, Pinkie’s Doozy, the Hydra, Fluttershy and the others being okay, and Twilight finally believing the Pinkie Sense about time. Kodi was shocked to hear that I faced against a Hydra, but I reassured him that I was alright, but I am never going back to the Everfree Forest ever again. But…I was glad to be back home with my little best puppy friend.
Soon after, we decided to head back to Ponyville for some lunch. “I still can’t believe that you faced off a Hydra!” Kodiak exclaimed.
“I know bud, but please calm down. I really don’t want to think about facing off that thing again.” And maybe I should find my Hercules movie in the closet and watch it, just in case to know the Hydra’s weakness, and maybe train harder.
“Sorry, but man, I wished I would’ve been there.” Kodi sighed. Oh trust me, you don’t want to be there…
We approached the Golden Oak Library as soon as Pinkie and Twilight came out, both of them wearing umbrella hats. I couldn’t help but smile at her, she finally admitted to it and now her bond with Pinkie is increasing. They noticed me as I raised a brow and made a smirk.
“Twitchy tail?” I guessed.
“Uh-huh.” Pinkie replied as her tail started twitching. “There it goes again!”
“I wonder what’s gonna drop out of the sky this time.” Twilight wondered.
“You never know.” Pinkie said with a giggle as she and Twilight walked off, waving goodbye to me and Kodi.
“I wonder what is gonna fall?” Kodi asked, tilting his head. I shrugged as we continue our way to find a good place to eat, until we heard and saw Spike opening the window, who was about to send off another of Twilight’s friendship report, but as he was about to do that, we heard a descending whistle and from out of the sky dropped Princess Celestia.
“Whoa!” Me and Kodi shouted in surprise to see her here.
“Um…Twitchy tail?” Spike muttered in confusion. Celestia just smiled and took the report before flying off as Spike just smiled and gasped. “Holy guacamole!” Me and Kodiak looked at each other before laughing upon seeing what just happen. I’m guessing that’s what was about to fall from the sky, and what a twist that was.
“Wow, that Pinkie Sense sure is something Ren.” Kodi commented.
“Sure is Kodiak…sure is.” I smiled as I looked at the sky as I began to wondered what more adventures are awaiting for me in Equestria.
