//------------------------------// // Chapter 30: DON'T KILL ME! // Story: How Did I Get Here? // by k12314 //------------------------------// CHAPTER 30 "Kyle... What are you doing..." I was talking to myself in my mind again... Me and Dashie were heading for The Wonderbolts' training camp to confront Zephyr. "Are you SURE we need to tell him?" I said, having second thoughts. "Yeah. Hey, it was your idea." "Yeah, you're right. Onwards and upwards, allons-y!" We flew for about twenty minutes before arriving at the training camp. We saw a bunch of pegasi dressed in Wonderbolts costumes, practicing very complicated tricks. "Oh, hey Kyle! Hey Dash..." Zeph ran up to us, smiling when he saw I had Dashie with me. "Hey... Ummm... We need to talk..." I was trying not to run at full speed right back to Ponyville. "About what?" He grinned even wider. I knew what he was expecting... "Me and Dashie... We're sorta..." His grin broke into a deep frown. "You and Dash are what?" "We're..." I was trying to spit it out, then Dashie cut in. "We're dating!" She exclaimed it like it was supposed to be good news. Zeph looked at me, and I saw his eye twitch. He slowly approached me, with a crazy smile on his face. "OHHH... I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU." Then, he stood right next to me a whispered. "You're not leaving this camp ALIVE." EEP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zeph insisted he give us the grand tour of the camp. Dashie was all too quick to agree. He took us around, showing us everything from the practice field to the storage room. I wasn't paying any attention, and instead looked for a way to get the heck out of there. "There has to be a stealthy way out..." Stealth was one of my many talents, but I couldn't see any escape routes that didn't involve being hunted down and brutally murdered by Zeph. Eventually, we came to the end of the tour. "Well, that's it. Hey Dash, you go ahead and talk to some of the other trainees, me and Kyle have to TALK in private." I felt all the color drain from my face as Dashie grinned and flew away. Well, it was fun while it lasted. Zeph slowly walked towards me, evil grin on his face. "I'm going to KILL you." "Yeah... You see... About that... Ummm... SEEYA!" I sprinted past him and down the hallway, which was luckily small enough to prevent Zeph from flying. Sadly, I couldn't fly from the sheer panic I was feeling. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! SOMEPONY HELP ME!" I was screaming. "GET BACK HERE!" OH GODDESSES HE'S STILL FOLLOWING ME. I looked for a way out, when I saw the laundry room. I ran inside and jumped into a drying machine and closed the lid. I heard hoofsteps in the room, and they kept getting closer and farther away. I eventually heard Zeph sigh and trot out of the room. "Oh boy... I need to get out of here." I climbed out of the dryer and crouched down. I snuck out of the room and out to the training field. I saw Dashie talking to a few trainees on the sidelines. I ran up to her. "DASHIE, WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" "Huh? What's wrong Kyle?" "Zephyr wants to kill me for dating you." "Ugh, can't a day go by without something going wrong?" "Apparently not, let's GO!" We flew off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I ran inside of Dashie's house, not wanting to be home alone, and I immediately looked for the smallest, darkest corner and huddled there. "Sheesh Kyle. Calm down. He wouldn't do that..." "I'm not so sure... He takes emotions a little too far sometimes... Remember how depressed he got when you rejected him?" "Yeah... Hey, we should go to bed... But I only have one bed." Wait, wha- "No. No that is NOT happening. Not with what almost happened to me." "Oh, what were you thinking, Kyle? I just meant you could sleep in the same bed as me. Get your mind out of the gutter." Oh you little trickster... "Well... All right. But don't you try anything funny. I know you, Dashie." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I laid on the farthest side of the bed, trying to stay away from Dashie. I could hear her breathing was calmed, but she could be faking. Did I forget to mention I am very paranoid? I looked over at the window, and I immediately wished I was asleep. Take a wild guess at who was climbing in. "Oh no..." I tried to think of what to do, and remembered: I'm friends with Princess Luna. "Luna, sorry to ask you of something this late, but could you teleport me... Somewhere?" Boy I hope this works... "Ah Kyle! Don't worry, I will have you here in a second." I felt a weird tingling in my body, then I was laying on the ground in Luna's bedroom. I got up, and the Moon Princess looked at me with worry. "What happened?" "Luna... Remember my friend I introduced to you?" "Zephyr? Yes! He was quite quiet." "He's sorta... Trying to hunt me down and kill me." "What?" "Yeah..." "Well this is unacceptable! I need to bring him here so you can talk it out." "WAIT, WHAT!?!? NO NO N-" Poof. There he was. He starting to approach me, but Luna restrained him. "Now, I want you two to talk out this issue." "Let me at him... I'm gonna kill him..." "Listen, Zeph... Can't you just be happy for us? I know I'm sorta... Stealing your mare... But she was never really into you in the first place. So what do you say you stop trying to kill me and we just be friends again?" There was awkward silence for about a minute, when Zeph finally snapped out of his homicidal rage. "All right... I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me..." "I understand." Why does all of the crazy stuff happen to me?
