Logans day off
“Yer whut now….? Logan grunted quite in disbelief what he had just heard.
“That’s right old chum.” Peter answered as he packed some books, papers, scrolls, quill and several bottles of ink into saddle bag by lifting it with his mouth and placing it over Twilights flank as Sunset Shimmer and Felicia were also preparing some more stuff into saddle bags, like they were about to go on some sort of trip of something.
“Me along with Peter, Spike, Sunset Shimmer and Hardy are going to Canterlot.” Twilight finished her husbands sentence as she helped Spike out by taking over some scrolls via her telekinesis pulling them all into the saddle bag.
“Hurm….Let me guess…..A royal audience, in th' name of state affairs? And guess Princess Celestia made ya an offer ya just couldn’t deny?” Logan mooted which though sounded more like mocking with a sarcastic like tune in his voice.
“Well….” Peter muttered in quite a sheepish or rather embarrassed like way finding a suitable words for Logans though simple yet rather offhanded question. “More or less, I would say.”
“We are actually heading to Canterlot in hopes to learn something more about the Elementals and Grogar.” Twilight answered. “I am sure that the archives of the Canterlot Castle or Great Library just might have some records that would give us some more information and leads about Grogar and the Elementals and hopefully find a way to defeat them.”
“This could take some time, so we are preparing some stocks and stuff we would work with.” Sunset Shimmer stated as she fixed the saddle bag over her flank via using telekinesis.
“Yet in princess case…” Felicia scoffed by humorously, yet though more sarcastically like indicating on Twilight. “We would better take tents and establish a camp over there in archives. Something tells me we would be there for quite some time….”
“Hey!” Twilight jerked out shouting, glaring at cat burglar like a basilisk.
“What?” Felicia dully replied shrugging her shoulder indifferently.
“Riiight….” Peter muttered quite nervously by attempting to easy up the tension between two mares. “Yet, I also have some matters to discuss with Luna. Just hope she would be willing to get up like an early bird for a chit chat.”
“Whut abut th' others?” Logan asked as he looked around the room interior of Golden Oak Library.
“Aunt May has a shift by babysitting Little Ben, while Trixie has a plans on her own by taking Mayday along by showing her some of her famous magic tricks today, unless she actually would like to stuff her into box and sawing her in half.” Peter explained his last words though sounded somewhat both offhanded and humorous chuckling, earning though quite a sharp bump into his guts by Twilights hoof as the mare gave her husband quite a grimace.
“And Rainbow Dash along with Spitfire are busy to work along with Wonderbolts as well as the other volunteers Pegasus to help by repairing and rebuilding Cloudsdale. It will take some time, but with their combined effort, they should make any progress any time soon” Sunset Shimmer said.
“Yet, Princess Celestia also promised to aid the Cloudsdale some assistance as well by sending some of her Pegasus Royal Guards. With their help, the Cloudsdale should be rebuild in no time, more or less soon.” Felicia added.
“And the others are engaging their usual stuff just like always, with Applejack bucking apples, Rarity sawing her outfits, Pinkie Pie being busy baking cakes and Fluttershy cares of the animals…More or less.” Spike stated by clearing things up further.
“Whut about me?” Logan asked, quite wondering that his friends doesn’t count him on.
“Sorry Logan. It doesn’t appear that Princess Celestias royal audience mentioned you.” Peter replied giving a somewhat offhanded like look.
“Guess you would just have to sit this one out, big guy.” Felicia chuckled under her breath humorously.
“So whut am I suppose ta do?” Logans asked grunting being quite outraged.
“Well….” Twilight replied yet denying the gruff stallion a serene smile. “Considering all we have been through lately and how much hard work you have done, just like training Spike for instance….You just might take a day off.”
“A day off?” Logan grunted quite in disbelief by twilight proposal.
“That’s right, Logan.” Sunset added smiling honestly. “Just take some rest for today.”
“But, whut am I suppose ta do?” Logan grunted quite both surprised and rather clueless not knowing what to think about actually having a “day off”.. “I…..I actually have never had much chances ta take a day off.”
“Well now you just got one.” Peter stated though there was a faint hint of a slight envy in young stallions voice “You should be pleased, old chum. Whenever I got a day off after quite some time, some time I somehow quite don’t know how to spend it, when eventually something accidental or rather unfortunate is found for me to do.”
“If you liked, you just could ask the others to spend time with. I am sure that Aunt May, Trixie with Mayday, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie and Fluttershy would have something.” Sunset offered Logan to spend time with otherpony and Elements of Harmony if he liked.
“Yet….” Twilight exhaled quite enthusiastic when an idea lightened up young princess mind. “By being with for nearly a month, you just might show a progress you have done some far, as well as a perfect possibility for you to make a new friend.”
“A new friend?” Logan grumbled incoherently in wonder about Twilight suggestion. “Seriously?”
“Sure. Why not?” Twilight replied without second though by seeing no problem at all, smiling at Logan warmly. “You just might have a fitting credentials for making friends.”
“But…But….” Logan started to protest trying to find a way out of that.
“Yeah, old chum, why not? You are hanging out with us all the time after all.” Peter added by also seeing no harm in Twilight idea.
“Lucky me…..” Logan grunted under his breath lightly exasperated by the mention.
“Don’t you worry.” Spike tried to cheer Logan up. “The Ponyville is the friendliest place in Equestria. I am sure that somepony would be found for you.”
“I…...I will just think about it….” Logan murmured quite sheepishly by considering Twilight suggestion though somewhat hesitantly.
“Now remember Logan, just hang out and treat lightly, by keeping a low profile while we are gone.” Peter playfully admonished Logan. “Do you think you can handle it?”
“I will be sure ta be on my best behaviour Parker.” Logan grunted by promising though more like sarcastically and slightly annoyed by Parkers remark.
“That’s what I am afraid off….” Felicia sarcastically murmured to herself, yet hoping Logan just would keep a low profile on his own.
“Alright then. So we are off.” Twilight declared the departure as Peter along with Sunset, Felicia and Spike edged closer to Twilight as young princess loaded her horn with her magic aura by as usually being about to use her teleportation.
“See ya!” Peter playfully said goodbye to Logan waving his hoof as instantly they all disappeared in a flash of bright light, leaving Logan alone in the room.
“Hurm….Great….A day off….” Logan grumbled under his breath while finding himself alone in the room which might look like being left behind yet not quite knowing what to make out of this whole idea taking a day off.
Logan was walking his way trotting in an adequate pace throughout the streets of Ponyville, looking around. Despite it had just been two days passed since Arabus invaded Ponyville by flying passing through the village and causing a minor havoc, yet the town along with all the ponies seemed to recuperate quite well as everypony were engaging in their daily usual activities like totally nothing really bad happened.
As Logan was walking his way through the Ponyvilly and being immersed in his thoughts by seeing all the ponies, earth ponies, unicorns and pegasus hanging out, having a good time and enjoying the stuff, out of the sudden a very well familiar strange and rather stingy unfortunate feeling like sensation echoed out of the gruff stallion chest as well as rather brooding thoughts filled the X-Mens mind, grunting inwardly brooding in his thoughts.
It had indeed and just like Twilight put it, was nearly the month since Logan was yet rather against his will pulled into Equestria, joining forces with Parker, Sparkle and the Avengers, fighting Grogar along with the Elementals like Lavan, Squirk and Arabus, as well as now living a new life he wouldn’t even dreamed off, living in completely different world where ponies talks and rather being at times a way too much friendly and nice, the magic and spells being present all around as well as so called Elements of Harmony maintaining the peace and balance of this world, all this looked like some sort of fairy tale wonderland, to Logan as he usually put it, which as he usually put it seemed like a freaking hell to him.
However, despite Logan was taking it and adjusting to his new life in Equestria well, yet if it wasn’t for his friends, Parkers, Sparkles, Spikes, Lunas and the otherponys support, Logan would arguably by right then overwhelmed by all the changes, with Sparkle and Parker providing shelter and living with an aid of otherpony like Spike, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Felicia, Sunset Shimmer including Spitfire along with Parker/Sparkle family like Aunt May, Mayday, Trixie and even the Equestrias highest authority figures like Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Shinning Armour helping as well by also keeping Logans secret as his superhero identity Wolverine as well as an outworlder background in secret by treating Logan a valuable ally as well as a friend, as they wanted yet quite nothing in return.
All it was like the times by living in the X Mansion along with the other X-Men, being both as a member of the team as well as a part of the family of his fellow mutants, just like here in Equestria Logan found lots of pony friends looking up to him. Yet though the more he seemed to be living in Equestria and more thinking about his new life, the more it seemed complicated to him, somehow and rather sceptically wondering inwardly with his background, if he himself could actually fit in here and being one of the ponies around.
Yet despite that, Logan did his best to tune those brooding thoughts down by trying not to do anything stressful as the X-Men tried to enjoy his day off while he could. But so far as much as he was puzzled over this, he couldn’t decide what exactly he could do in his free time.
“Hurm….Whut ta do, whut ta do…..” Logan was grumbling to himself brooding in his thoughts wondering what he just could or got to do as even barely paying attention on his way, yet though out of the sudden, the X-Men caught something quite peculiar with an edge of his eye, slowly turning his head around as the gruff stallions brow slightly narrowed quite in awe yet his serious and stone face expression remained intact with his mouth slightly opening wide what he had just saw.
“Whut th'…” Logan grunted as right on his left in front of him was a large building, which though strangely appeared to be build right in the large piece of earth with grass on top of it like a hill, yet the rest beneath was quite a peculiar building, with an insignia of a pairs of bowling balls and pins on a wooden floor formed boomerang and a two large sparks above the entrance as a pair of large bowling pins stood by both edges, as well as there were a large bowling balls of a violet colour like decorations at every edges of the building, which judging from its look appeared to actually be a bowling alley.
“A bowlin' alley….?” Logan grunted some more as he stared at the bowling alley building with quite an awe, which was quite a rare case, because Logan, the toughguy born in bread with no-nonsense attitude was hardly impressed by anything, as he literally stared at the building quite in wonder almost like he saw the ghost, staring at the buildings rather bizarre yet though nonetheless unusual, unique sculpture.
And right then, like being and feeling beside himself and strangely with quite a peculiar interest arousing, the gruff stallion just made a couple somewhat hesitant steps forward in an adequate pace making his way towards the bowling alley entrance, yet by pushing his hoof he quite forcingly opened the pair of door and going right in.
The interior of the bowling alley was pretty, large with approximately ten pits with ten pins each along with sparky foul lines along with bowling stands holding an array of bowling balls of various stripped colours and stand table for score record, yet there were several tables and seats with pillows around the foul lines, yet and quite for Logans luck, there was a small bar on left with various kinds of drinks, yet the gruff stallion hoped for having a bear there yet while on the right there was a jukebox along with several notice boards on the wall.
Yet the decorating much for Logans dismay couldn’t look any different then just that picturesque just like anything, with hearts images painted each above the bowling pits with walls though depicting the space surrounding along with some stars, shooting stars, moons, planets so and so on and the ceiling being painted more like a full blue sky with cloudy mark patterns. Just, some bowling alley Logan had never seen before.
Logan looked around by scanning the alley as he saw lots of ponies, especially mares wearing a very stylish though a for his style little retro style bowling striped shirts of various colours as they were hanging out bowling yet there were also some otherpony present sitting on seats chatting among each other as they were also watching the match, as bowling ponies were throwing the balls over the foul lines with some of them striking the pins yet also some of them missing, yet nonetheless there was no shortage of fun and a good time.
“Hurm….Come ta think of it, that here ponies talk, doin' magic tricks as well as havin' an Earths version of New York here, so that they are even bowlin', that wouldn’t be that much surprise.” Logan though for himself inwardly yet though the more he stared at those ponies bowling, the gruff stallion started showing more and more interest about the game being quite tempted to give it a shot. “I just might give it a shot too….” Yet right then Logan decided as he edged closer to the foul lines where quite tall unicorn mare stood, having light yellowish fur, three jacks two pins like cutie mark on her flank, a very stylish light and dark blue mane being shaggy in front yet fixed in the ponytail behind and waring a light black greyish bowling shirt with violet stripes, as Logan right then decided to spoke the mare. “Hey, darlin'.”
“Um…Yes?” The unicorn mare replied somewhat sheepishly turning around yet though being slightly surprised by seeing quite a gruff stallion with rather an odd manestyle standing in front of her.
“Hurm…..May I…..Play along?” Logan murmured with his tone shifting into a softer one by being nice or at least trying to be although also sounding somewhat sheepishly by asking if he could roll with otherpony.
“Sure think. Just help yourself and have a good time.” The mare replied in quite a cheerful as well as relieved manner giving the gruff stallion a serene smile by being free to roll as she grabbed one of the bowling balls being about to roll.
“Thanks….” Logan murmured in response as he stepped at the edge of free foul line as he watched all eight pins standing at row at the pit judging the distance, as right then the X-Men tried to take a grip on one of the bowling balls with his hoof yet only just merely topple it as the bowl hit the ground rolling around yet it stopped for the near stand.
Grunting in dismay yet being glad nopony was seeing it, Logan again attempted to grab the bowling ball with his hoof yet however the ball get out of his hoof again. Logan than rather played with the bowling ball like a cat playing with wool ball, by trying to grab it, yet though still not having success Growling in a rising irritation, Logan right then attempted to grab the ball into both his hooves.
“Um….Mister….” The same unicorn mare spoke off, her voice though sounded somewhat offhanded as Logan shifted his attention to her, as the mare though bore a rather stiffened and blank yet holding one of the bowling balls via her telekinesis. “There is an actual hole in the bowling ball to grab it…..” She stated rolling the ball around in her telekinetic hold as Logan actually see a big hole in the ball for a hoof to fit in and grabbing the ball.
“Hurm….Thanks…..” Logan dully yet though much more sheepishly like inwardly grumbling from himself in embarrassment. “How embarrassin'….” Logan though once again tried to push those stingy feelings out of his mind as right then he slid his hoof right through the hole in the bowling ball by finally managing to take a grip on it before stepping to the edge at the foul line with a bowling ball in his grasp, straddling his posture a bit as he judged the distance between himself and the pins at the opposite end of the line.
“Here goes!” Logan called out as he swung his hoof and throwing his bowling ball as the ball hit the ground by rolling itself in quite a speed momentum on a straight line before eventually hitting most of the pins with its trademark bowling strike like sound echoing throughout the alley, with only two pins remaining, which though attracted lots of ponies collective attention about Logans quite an effort.
“Now that’s whut I am talkin' about.” Logan stated though not seemingly not that much thrilled, yet inwardly the gruff stallion was inwardly satisfied with his effort, yet wondering if he could do better than that.
However, as Logan was about to pick up yet another bowling ball, a large shadow casted over the flour quite attracting Logans attention, as the gruff stallion instinctively rose his head up as quite for his awe he saw a trio of stallions, though looking pretty dashing and wearing a very stylish wardrobe, having quite a style that would even let Rarity speechless and dazzled.
One of the trio, the earth pony stallion with a light greyish amber coat, having a very stylish shaggy mane style along with a mustache and beard of an gamboge and golden colour, having a red rug cutie mark on his flank yet wearing a dashing dark blue coat with various pockets, a white shirt along with an unique red tie with bowling pins over it.
The second stallion, though, a very large stallion with a suitcase like cutie mark on his flank, having a beard and flattop like manestyle and being dressed in a formal jacket, white shirt and orange tie around his neck yet also wearing an orange sunglasses with a blue headdress across his forehead. Yet Logan quite for his awe recognized him as actually being the same stallion that he saved two days ago when Arabus was passing through menacing the Ponyville.
The third stallion was quite more of a slender composure, pale light greyish olive fur with a bowling ball hitting the pins cutie mark, wearing a simple orange t-shirt with buttons and having elegantly combed mane of a dark greyish gamboge colour.
“Hurm…..Hey, bub….” Logan murmured by addressing the first of the stallions though sounding rather embarrassed if not even a little bit cautious about the stallions sudden presence.
“Not to be personal man, but….Have you been playing for long?” The first stallion of three asked in a low tune manly voice by addressing Logan, yet sounding relaxed and with a friendly demeanour in his voice bearing an easygoing expression of his face.
“Nope, not at all….” Logan replied somewhat dully. “This is my first time playin' bowlin'. Well, at least here in Ponyville. Git a problem with that, bub?”
“No. Not at all man.” The stallion replied without losing his cool and his relaxed look intact, yet strangely his voice bore an undercurrent of peculiar interest as well as somewhat admiration. “We have been actually watching you and we got to say, that taking down all six pins at once at the first try, it got to take lots of effort to do so, man.”
“I am just doin' my best.” Logan replied with his cautious demeanour steadily softening and his tone also lightening up a little bit yet the gruff stallion couldn’t help himself but ask a little sarcastic like. “And like whuts yer deal, bub? Requisitin' bowlin' players?”
Though the stallion was quite taken aback by Logans odd yet rather sarcastic comment with a slight awe, yet the stallion instead laughed lightly in response. “No way, man. We were just about to start the finals.”
“Finals?” Logan grunted with a seemingly more interest what the stallion had just said. “Like whut, bub? Ya mean, like championship or whut?”
“That’s right, man.” The stallion replied as he took off his bowling ball bag from his flank, with both other stallions were also preparing themselves as one of the pull the bowling ball out while the second stronger one was polishing his bowling ball.
“Say….” The stronger stallion though then spoke off in a deep slightly gruff voice as he right than approached closer to Logan, viewing the gruff stallion carefully and somewhat warily a bit.
“Whut?” Logan dully asked by apparently oblivious to the stallion somehow suspicious look.
“Maybe it's just me, but…..haven't I seen you before?” The stallion asked with a very funny feelings that he just might had seen Logan before, which though and ironically wasn’t that far from truth.
“Doubt it, bub. I have been in Ponyville just for a few weeks and I am still gettin' used to this place.” Logan replied seemingly innocently yet inwardly the X-Mena felt quite disturbed about the stallions offhanded mention and the irony of fate he must have met him on the kind the place like that with quite risk he just might recognize him by his superhero codename Wolverine with his secret being exposed, yet though the X-Men tried to tune those disturbing feeling down by like thinking nothing about it shrugging his shoulders and being about to reach out for another bowling ball from the stand.
“Who cares about that, Walter?” The first stallion though intervened by patting the second stallion, Walter as was his name over his flank by obviously not thinking nothing strange of odd about it, quite for Logans inward relief yet the stallion denied Logan somewhat promising look. “Yet guess what men? Fourth in show.”
“Beg yer pardon?” Logan dully asked wondering about the stallions offer.
“I mean, if you liked, you just could roll with us.” The stallion simply offered as he was preparing his own bowling ball.
“Me? Rollin' with ya guys?” Logan though blurted out lightly in both slight awe and shock by actually getting this kind of offer.
“Sure man, why not?” The stallion replied in quite a cheerful manner by seeing no problem by Logan joining the club with other two stallions simply nod their heads affirmatively, by seeing no harm or having any objections. “Guess by having one more extra reserved member would make this game a little bit more thrilling, don’t you think?”
Logan looked completely dumbfounded or more likely being left quite speechless by these three stallions just offering. The ponies in this world were indeed highly friendly, respectful as well as sometimes rather a way too nice for Logans standards, which was quite rare for Logan experiencing these qualities back in Earth with an exception of some selected number of individuals he respected and being friends with, like his fellow X-Men like Nightcrawler, Colossus or Kitty Pryde for instance.
Yet though Logan still found this weird by living in this colourful paradise as he usually put it, which also at times seemed like a hell to him, with his cynical side prompting taking its turn, yet somehow the gruff stallion managed to tune these negative feelings out as he also couldn’t help but actually and somehow feeling comfortable with all these ponies friendly, honest and helpful personalities being a way too catching for the X-Men to ignore.
“Well whut I git ta loose? Lets roll.” Logan agreed with a though a ghost of yet an honest smile forming over the gruff stallions face accepting the stallions proposal to take his part on the game. “But under one condition.”
“What kind of condition, man?” The stallion asked quite taken aback about Logans request.
“Ya git a bear here?” Logan asked, his voice sounding hopeful as he shifted his attention the bar, hoping there would be some alcoholic drinks.
“Dude…..What kind of bowling game would it be without a good cold beer.” The stallion chuckled in both awe and relief as he prompted the third stallion who pulled out a large blue cooling box underneath the near table, opened up the cover as there were crushed ice inside with lots of cans of red colour as the stallion pulled out one can by without a word sharing a glance with Logan and tossed it right to him as gruff stallion caught the can yet though with a slight struggle with his hooves yet managing to take firm grip on the can while taking a grip on the opener with his mouth by opening the can as instantly the foam of the bear overflowing yet the X-Men took a deep gulps of a chilled bitter alcoholic beverage, finishing the beer within a few second before literally crushing empty can in his hoof like a clamp before releasing rather disgusting burp after drinking that echoed throughout the alley, earning a collective gazes of otherponies, with some staring at gruff stallion warily and with a slight disgust, yet Logan seemed oblivious by the reactions.
“Nice one, man.” The stallion though on the other hoof chuckled in amusement, by instead not disgust at all and rather being quite impressed by Logans effort. “Yet…What's your name anyway, man?”
“Th' name is Logan.” Logan replied by properly yet simply introducing himself as he trashed the crashed can into a nearby bin. “And whut about ya guys?”
“Alright. So, Logan it is….” The stallion replied by repeating the name by vocally trying it out. “The name is Jeff Letrotski yet friends also calls me Dude.” The stallion, Jeff Letroski as was his name introduced himself before shifting his gaze to other two stallions by his side. “And as I have already mentioned, this is Walter.” Letroski addressed the larger stallion who merely nod his head in introducing releasing a low snort. “And Theodore Donald Kerabatsos, but he is simply called Donny.” Letroski indicated the third slender stallion who merely just without saying any word merely waved his hoof by greetings.
“Jeff Letrotski…..Jeff Letrotski…..” Logan murmured brooding in his thoughts by the Jeff Letrotski name, like it would actually sounded somewhat familiar. “Hey, ain't that from that movie, where th' guy named Lebowski somethin'….somethin'….whutever, th' guy has a penchant fer both cannabis as well as bowlin' yet also bein' mistaken fer a richboy as well as bein' somethin' about kidnappin' and ransom…..”
“Beg your pardon?” Jeff Letroski though blurted out quite dumbfounded, by having absolutely no idea what Logan was talking about as bot Walter and Donny looked like just that utterly confused.
“Hurm…Nothin'…Nothin'…” Logan grumbled dismissively by knowing he better don’t go any further yet deciding to focus on bowling instead. “How about ta start th' game shall we?”
“Alright then….” Letroski spoke off as he grabbed his own bowling ball and glancing upon both Walter and Donny to get ready. “Lets get start it.”
The bowling game of finals then started. The bowler ponies were divided approximately into three teams, each having their three respective foul lines with eight bowling pins each with stands for bowling balls.
“Ladies and gentlecoats!” The announcer proclaimed aloud with amplified voice in megaphone. “The bowling championship shall begin! There are three teams line ups. The first team, with Piny Lane, Sassaflash and Strike!”
One team and just like announcer stated, was consisting of the same tall unicorn mare Logan met when he got there along with an light azure blue Pegasus mare having a lightly puff yellow mane wearing an orange shirt whit white strips and a little light olive coloured foal with shaggy light grey and white mane, wearing a light dark shirt with white stripes, yet judging from the foals cutie mark with a bowling ball hitting a pin suggested that despite being still little, he had arguably some skill as well as special talent for bowling.
“The second team, Big-Hair, Sea Swirl and Jesus Pezuna!”
The second team on the other hoof as announcer announced, was consisting of amethyst mare unicorn with a spiked mane fringe and wearing dark pink shirt with golden stripes, very elegant earth pony mare with quite a big red hair with spiky sunglasses under her fringe, green earrings painted cheeks while wearing a light blue shirt with white stripes along with tall brown slender earth pony stallion wearing a darker greyish violet shirt yet having bot his mane and tail wrapped in sort of net cover.
“And the final third team, Jeff Letroski, Walter, Donny….And fourth additional member, Logan!”
The third final team was consisting of Letroski, Walter, Donny along with Logan as the fourth member, as both teams were ready to roll.
“There are complete ten rounds! Each team will have two turns in order to strike all pins down. The maximum score is three hundred points. The team that takes the most score, wins! The teams on your marks and good luck! Let the game begins!” The announcer declared the rulers by initiating the finals as the game began.
The first team was up to go first, as Piny Lane took a light olive bowling ball by stepping to the line, as the mare tried to judge the distance with quite a serious looks as she took a stance before swinging her hoof and throwing her ball right in as the ball was rolling on the line, yet though striking just a mere four pins, which though on the first try wasn’t that bad.
On the second turn though the foal, Strike as his name was took his turn, as little pony took an orange bowling ball by easily rolling it to the line, as foal watched the remaining standing pins before he sharply pushed the ball forward with a slight headbutt as the ball was rolling its way on the line as it eventually stroke all the six pins at once, earning a couple of cheers of everypony spectators around.
“Th' kid got some moves, ain't he?” Logan stated, quite unable to supress his awe by commenting Strikes effort as the foal was able to take all remaining pins with one strike with quite a rather easy.
“How do you think he has got his cutie mark on the first place, man?” Letroski commented on how Strike got his cutie mark, which though was actually supposed to be otherwise, as Apple Bloom who was along with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle bowling in an attempt to get their cutie marks was supposed to get it.
Then was the second teams turn, as Jesus Pezuna went first with a blue bowling ball, as a slender net covered mane stallion was ready to roll licking his lips by trying to concentrate, before finally sending the ball rolling by pushing it with a light kick of his front hoof as the ball was rolling on the line and though striking five pins in the row earning a satisfied looks from his teammates.
Right then, there Big-Hairs turn, as an elegant mare rolled a light red bowling ball on her own to the edge of the line before gently yet energetically pushing it with her muzzle although the ball was rolling yet though going off the direction as the ball got right into gutter by rolling the rest of his way into the pit. Yet, instead of looking disappointed, the Big-Hair managed a smile being happy wit her effort nonetheless as it was just a game, though her teammates didn’t seem to share the mare optimism that much.
Finally, there was Letroskis, Walters, Donnys and Logans turn, with other teams taking quite some score already, the stallions knew they better had to turn table by also getting some points.
“We better pick this up, boys.” Letroski stated yet without losing his cool with his calm and rserved expression intact before turning his attention to Logan. “Hey, Logan. Why don’t you go first? Show them what you got man.”
“Hurm….Okay.” Logan grunted though nonetheless having nothing against it by going first, the gruff stallion took a look at bowling balls set of various colours in stand, wondering what to pick as he eventually decided by picking the light black one.
The X-Men stood at the edge of the line by slightly straddling his pose a bit, staring intensively at the set of bowling pins in the distance over the foal line with bowling ball in his grasp, extending it with his hoof slightly being ready to roll.
“I may be quotin' a pal of mine….” Logan though trailed out offhandedly that right this came up to his mind. “Fastball Special!” Logan exclaimed aloud and throwing his bowling ball on top of his abilities as the ball hit the ground by rolling across the line with quite a high velocity and rotations added by the intensity of Logan swung, before the ball eventually stroke all ten pins at full speed at once, yet though the force of the blow was so intense that some of the pins literally got smashed into pieces, much for everyponies both bowlers and spectators witnessing the effort utter awe and shock alike gasping.
“Wow! What a perfect Strike!” The announcer in megaphone informed over the Strike, yet though his voice sounded somewhat strained with astonishment.
“Man! You got some steam in you.” Letroski stammered sounding wavering being both utterly shocked and astonished in the same time just like both Walter and Donny were as well as the rest of the ponies stared at Logan warily.
“Guess I have put a way more steam than was necessary, haven’t I?” Logan grumbled a bit rather sheepishly scratching the back of his neck, yet inwardly nonetheless being a way more than content with his effort.
“Who cares about that.” Letroski though chuckled as his quite awed and shocked expression shifted into his usual cheerful one, not seemingly minding at all yet instead being more than impressed by Logans effort, as just both Walter and Donny were. “By making a Strike on the first try, that really takes some guts to do so, man.”
“I also got to say….The Fastball Special….I quite like the sound of that. Who had ever gave you that idea, man?” Letroski commented on Logans though odd yet nonetheless pretty catching catchphrase.
“It's a little trick that I worked out with my good pal, Peter, though a different one than Parker is worked on and bein' pretty good in it.” Logan explained by reminiscing his time back with X-Men along with his teammates yet especially the one, Peter Rasputine yet also known as Colossus, the mutant with an ability to transform his entire body into metallic form granting his super strength and invulnerability as he and Wolverine had indeed came up with their very own special move Fastball Special as they were using it on numerous occasions as they had each others back while fighting villains.
“Judging the score…….” The announcer than proclaimed about the score of the first round. “The first round goes to Letroski, Walter, Donny and Logan by having the score of one hundred points!”
“Do you hear that, man?” The first round it ours!” Letroski cheered out as Logan just win for them the entire first round on the first turn as well as otherponies also burst out cheering out Logan though rather overkill effort, not seemingly minding the smashed pins at all.
“But, th' pins…..” Logan murmured about and shifting his gaze upon a pair of smashed pins at the pit being intent to fix it somehow.
“Don’t bother about that man, that will get clean up.” Letroski though comforted Logan by playfully patting him over his back just let it go and enjoying the game, as the bowling automatic setting machine had already started working by collecting all the bowls, including the smashed ones before shortly replacing them with new ones.
Logan looked around by hearing the cheers of everypony around. Despite his rather cynical side and a slight brooding mood being still a slightly present, yet the X-Men somehow managed to tune those negative feelings down as quite a strange yet rather pleasant feelings echoed right out of the depths of stallions chest, as cheers combined with admiration and respect of everypony filled his heart, as right then Logan really started enjoying both the bowling game, as well as the company of his newly gained friends with a way more and more rising passion.
Grinning smugly with though a ghost of yet honest smile forming over gruff stallions face as the black bowling ball that Logan had just smashed the pins was rolling in gutter and making its way back into stand as Logan took the ball and started rolling it on tip of his hoof like a basketball ball while sharing quite an challenging look with otherpony bowling players.
“Anypony wants some more?” Logan smirked quite deviously, yet though meaning well, by daring otehrpony to go with the game.
To be continued……
