//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: A displaced graboid // by Rob_Rhapsody //------------------------------// —A few weeks later— I woke up in bed. (Since I’m a pony now, I sleep in a bed in Fluttershy’s cottage, a room opposite to hers) I got up and stretched out my limbs and a few of the spikes in my mane and tail. ‘I should probably make a token, I am a Displaced after all, and now I can speak’ I took one of my spikes out of my mane and channeled myself into it. “Hey, I’m Tunneler and I’m a Graboid, If you need help from someone who can dig underground, fight a bad guy, or just want to hang out, put this spike on the ground in front of you and call out my name and stomp on the ground” I said, then I tossed the spike into the void portal that showed up out of nowhere. I got the spike back a few minutes later. I put the spike on my nightstand and left. I made my way downstairs to the kitchen, and saw Fluttershy. “Hey Fluttershy, how did you sleep?” I greeted. “Oh, good morning Tunneler, I slept fine how did you sleep?” asked Fluttershy. “Pretty good, I’m gonna go digging around and look for gems, I’ll be back later” I said, about to leave, only for Fluttershy to stop me. “Oh no you don’t, you’re gonna have breakfast first, before you do anything today mister” said Fluttershy putting me in a high chair. “I’m an adult, and I’m older than you, I don’t need to be in a ridiculously large high chair” I said to Fluttershy. “Well you need to eat something before you go” said Fluttershy. “Fine” I said crossing my hooves. —Later— I was digging to Sugarcube Corner and sent my tongues up to grab a pie from the windowsill again. Only this time, Mrs. cake was watching. As soon as I got a pie she grabbed my tongues and pulled. Unfortunately I didn’t have size on my side anymore so she pulled me from the ground and through the window. We both landed in a heap on the ground. She saw me and I saw her. I quickly got off her and jumped out a window with a spin, and began drilling into the ground. Leaving behind a confused Mrs. Cake. —Mrs. cake POV— I looked as the strange pony dug into the ground and left, I couldn’t comprehend what just happened. “Who was that?” I said confused.
