//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 - The Coconut? // Story: Anidate me please // by CaioCoia //------------------------------// I never for once walked by a limousine, it was an amazing experience, inside of it has a huge Frigobar with candies and soda, and they even have tv inside of it? It was amazing… But this excitement couldn’t last forever because I’m in a deep dilemma, my sisters are by my side sleeping with their heads in my lap, while Rainbow Dash was on the other assent on the other side of the limousine. How can I tell them we are kidnapped and I have a date with a pop star and she is my stalker without making my sisters and my best friend freakout and going on revenge or being too overly protective over me? “What should I do? If I tell them the truth I know Sunset would try to be my bodyguard and would try to attack Sonata for sure… Twilight would call Shining Armor and he would have to take a trip from Crystal City to here just to be sure I will be okay while he will contact the police… and if moms discover it…” My eyes shrink with this thought… what would happen if my mother Celestia and my stepmother Twilight Velvet discovered it… The doom would happen…  “It’s settled then… I must lie.”  But… What lie could explain what happened today?  I decided in my mind, there was no way this day could be even worse or weirder than already is to me…  Until I look at my cell phone… (5 calls missed - CMom … 5 calls missed TVmom) My heart stopped… then I heard a drum, I looked closer at my cellphone…  5 calls missed - CMom, then I heard a stronger drum, 5 calls missed TVmom then again another drum… That drum… was my heart almost having a heart attack… Oh NO, OH NO, OH NO, OH NO! “Oh, God, OH GOD,  OH GOD. I’m dead, I’m dead…” Anxious wasn’t the feeling I was having at the moment… it was pure DESPAIR. 10 calls missed? If you missed 2 or 3 from a mother without a good reason to answer her, you would be grounded for life that’s for sure. 4 it was a warning of a death sentence, 5 it was death for sure. That’s coming from 1 mother, and I have a mother and a stepmother with 5 lost calls of each one? I’m dead, I’m dead for sure. Why, why does that have to happen before I get 2 thousand subscribers on Metube or even have my first kiss?  Now I will be dead before I kiss a girl. I decided to accept my fate as a forever grounded boy, and decided to call home, well there is a quote I still remember from my brother Shining… “Spike, my brother, let me give you some advice. When a girl you love and respect decided to call you and suddenly you missed at least 3 calls, at the moment you noticed you screwed up, there is just one thing you can do at the moment. You must call her right at that instant because at the moment the time passes, it will only get worse if you know you missed the calls. Trust me… it’s the only way to survive.” It was the last thing Shining Armor said before Cadance broke a plate on his face making him unconscious. I’m almost pissing myself, but I decided to have the courage to call one of my mothers. The sound of the waiting line still makes me sweaty and my heart races like a Nascar car. Until I heard a voice. “Hello.”  I gulped at the moment, so I decided to go smoothly. “Hey mom, it’s me…” I tried to be brief and prayed to her not to be angry. “Oh, hey honey, I was cleaning the house until you call, are you going home?” To my surprise, it seemed my prayers worked, because I never thought my mom, who usually gets berserk if one of us forgets to call her, telling where we are going or even ignoring her calls, it seems she looked like nothing happened. Why? I should have been reprimanded by her right now. “SPIKE THE DRAGON, DON’T IGNORE YOUR MOTHER.” Oh, that’s her now. “Oops, sorry mom my cellphone dropped for a few seconds, yeah, I and the girls are going back home.” “Oh that’s wonderful, your friend was a sweetheart to pass over here to bring your stuff before going back to work, I hope you have enjoyed the afternoon with her sisters.” At the moment she said that my brain stopped working, so… wait, she passed over my house and talked to my mother while we were kidnapped? Well, at least she saved me from being grounded for life. “Yeah, it was amazing, they have a huge mansion and it seems the girls are so tired they are sleeping while we are going back home.” Well for the time I have at least my mother not angry with me is a big safe. Now what I should do with my sisters. “They woke up? She told me they were knocked out by coconuts which fell from the roof and they were recovering inside her home.” I have to admit, while many friends of mine say my mom as a Principal usually don’t believe in almost any lies of the kids who talk to her… But… WHAT? COCONUTS? And she believed? Well, at least I have a little foundation lie to trust. “Oh… sorry mom, I didn’t want to make you worried, but how can anybody plant a coconut tree over a roof?” I asked, trying to carry on with the lie. “That’s what I asked… Surprisingly she showed a picture over the roof with a coconut tree and it seems while Canterlot doesn’t have many coconuts, it seems they were brought from Brazil and are kinda special kind of coconut so it was approved to be planted by the laws…” My mouth dropped at the moment she said that. SERIOUSLY? “Well mom, soon me and the girls will be there, and it seems I have a date tomorrow.” At least the worst has already passed, so now I have to say before it happens something. “Awww, look at you… Receiving the first date, I have to say Spike is a sweetheart. Go for it.” Hearing these words made me blush while I still remembered the kidnapping… Yeah, so sweet it breaks the teeth... “MOOOM.” I said aloud while receiving a chuckle from her and turning off the cellphone.  “Well, the dinner will be at 7, later you can tell me how you met the famous pop star Sonata Dusk… Yeah, I know the famous teen bands because I’m principal and I know what you are thinking Spike Solaris Drake Sparkle… Now I have to turn off the telephone. Kisses.”  “For you to mom, love you,” I said that while I turned off the cellphone, well at least I have a lie, it wasn’t too relatable but still was a fundamental lie. So it was okay to make the girls believe in that, I hope so.”
