//------------------------------// // Year 15: Days 11-18 // Story: Electro Spark // by Joshweiser22 //------------------------------// The next day, I was still frantic but more calm. I went to go see if Sheila was in the medtent, and if so, if she was doing ok. When I got to her room, there were some other ponies in there. Their names were Snow Eyes, Sparx, Pluto, and Fireblaze. Sparx was bullying Sheila. That made me remember how I used to be bullied in school. I wouldn't let Sheila take it. I stood up for her. Me and Snow Eyes were both standing up for her. We were arguing for a while when Hunter came in and the arguing increased of course. Not to mention that there was a pony near by named Pallet who was getting seriously ticked off by all of our bickering which only led to even more bickering. Unfortunately, it was too much for Sheila to take. She jumped up from bed and ran outside. She tried to fly away but after getting a few feet off the ground, she began plummeting back down. Luckily, I was there to catch her. Sparx, however, wasn't the end of it. Another pony named Tail Sword appaered and starting just flat out making fun of Sheila. Light Spark suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took Sheila to the medtent again. Meanwhile, we all continued arguing outside. Tail Sword had no right to be making fun of Sheila. That's when I got an idea. I pushed myself to my limit which, like expected, made me collapse. I fell unconscious. Now of course, due to the fact that I was unconscious, I don't the exact details of what happened but when I woke up, there was a lot of electrical residue everywhere. I'm guessing that what I hoped would happen, happened. I was planning on having another "electrical outburst" and I think it worked. It apparently didn't do much so I just wanted to get away from everything. Something much more tragic happened the day afterward. I went to the medtent to check on Sheila again. None of the mean ponies were here. Only Snow Eyes who I thought was keeping an eye on her but I later found out that he was actually blind. Still, it gave her someone to talk to so I was glad that he was there with her. She happened to be perfectly alright now. Not sick in the least bit. Instead, she told me she was worried about Hunter. I suddenly felt really sick in the pit of my stomach and asked her why. That's when she replied that he had been diagnosed with ponio and it could kill him. I was scared beyond coneception. Hunter could die! I couldn't help but cry. I was crying very hard. I got embarrassed and ran out. For those who know me, you know I'm an optimist. That's why when Sheila came chasing after me, I came up with an idea. We could have a benefit party for Hunter! We could raise money and awareness about Ponio and we could use the money to help out Hunter! I'm never one to brag but I had to admit that that plan was genius! And, it could have really saved his life. We went to go find Snow Eyes but we found him sleeping in his bed. Sheila started jumping on him to wake him up but I don't think that was the best idea because he ran for his life to the EverFree forest... he was pretty fast too so I figured we could tell him later. When we did, he fully agreed with our plan. I wanted to tell my other friends about my party so I went to the square the next day. I didn't see anypony there so I went to the town square. Sure enough, I saw Kuroi there! I asked her if she wanted to go to the party but she declined nor did she know how to rent out the Sugar Cube Corner- the location on which we decided we could have the party at! Meanwhile, a pony named Pinkie Pie was pulling a prank on Kuroi. She tied balloons to Kuroi's hoof. I saw her start to float away so I tried to save her by grabbing onto her hoof but I started floating away with her instead. While I was in the sky, I saw a pony was hiding in the balloons. A pony named Mattias Nilsson. He was trying to cut the ropes and kill us. Now a pony named Derpy Hooves was on the scene. She tried helping us down but only ended up making it worse as she brought yet another Pinkie Pie along with her. I'm not sure how that's possible but I'm not lying either. There were two Pinkie Pies. The three did manage to get us down but not without destroying half of the town hall. I still don't know up to this date how both Pinkie Pies existed. I guess it's just Pinkie Physics. When we got down, however, Mattias had somehow disappeared. I tried to forget about Mattias and instead asked Kuroi if she could help me with my uncontrollable electricity powers. She had a weird smile on her face but I decided to follow her to her treehouse. Once I was inside, I was very scared and I had all the right to. Kuroi began electrocuting me to see what happens when I go unconscious. Before I did, someone who I hadn't seen in about 6 or 7 years came in. It was my big brother Thunder Shock! I don't know how, why, or what he heard about me but he somehow knew I was in trouble. Maybe Grandma Ball's psychic abilities rubbed off on him somehow. I'm not sure. Either way, he helped me out and made Kuroi stop electrocuting me. Kuroi then gave me a potion which he said would help the pain and even allow me to control my powers! I hesitated at first but then realized, even if we was tricking me, it could be worth it. I grabbed her potion and drank it. It was then when Kuroi said that I couldn't use my magic for four days or something unexpected could happen. I wouldn't want to take that risk so I didn't. I went back to the town square with Thunder Shock afterwards. We cought up a bit and saw that three ponies named Twilight Sparkle, Noland, and Showtime, were all helping to clean up the town hall. That's when I remembered that I still hadn't checked up on Hunter! I ran to the medtent and saw that he was still fine. I didn't want him to know that I knew about his ponio and instead asked Snow Eyes if he wanted to help clean up the town hall. He agreed and Hunter volunteered. I didn't want him to work in his state but I allowed him to anyway. Thunder Shock meanwhile got a box of cupcakes which he gobbled down quickly. We all met back at the town hall and started helping. Snow Eyes and I went up to the roof to board up some damages when Thunder let out an extremely huge burp that created a hole in the roof. We both fell down in it. I'm assuming I fell unconscious because the next thing I know, I woke up in a hospital bed and it was already morning of the next day. Thunder told me that he was the one who brought me there. I took a nap but when I woke up I couldn't find Thunder. I went looking for him at the square but instead of finding him, I found Mattias Nilsson. I didn't know it until later but he had just sent Thunder Shock to plant a bomb in the EverFree forest. For some test or something. Thunder didn't know it was a bomb but he placed it down anyway. Mattias told him to run away when he placed it so he did. As luck would have it, Sheila appeared by the bomb and then Mattias detonated it. Mattias had now attempted four murders: Kuroi's, Sheila's, Thunder's, and mine. I, however, didn't find out until the next day when Thunder told me. When he told me, I had to find him. Trying to kill my friend and I was something but then trying to kill Hunter's daughter and my own brother! That was too much. I went looking for him and I found him at the square. We began fighting and soon I saw an Alicorn descending from the sky. It appeared to me as though it was the princess. Not Princess Celestia, but, Princess Luna. We were all frightened and all traumatized. So much that we forgot all of these events including Mattias. Only reason why I know them is because I recorded them in my diary before I forgot. I still don't remember it but I somehow remember writing it so I know it happened. Anyway, according to my diary, Princess Luna called us all idiots and told Mattias to stop making explosions. We all agreed. Last thing I remember and the very next thing in my diary is that I went to go check up on Hunter. His ponio was getting better but it was still just coincidence. The disesase could get worse or better at any time as it was unpredictable. Nevertheless, I was happy to see him better. Sheila and Light Spark came in to see his progress as well. While we were talking, I mentioned Pinkie Pie by accident and ran outside with Sheila and Light Spark so that no secrets would be revealed. This party was going to be a surprise party and I didn't want to ruin that right then and there. I asked Light Spark if she wanted to help us and she said she would. I went looking for Sheila the next day to see if she had any luck finding a Pinkie Pie. I ended up finding her in a cave with two ponies named Jette Black and Plasma Bolt. Hunter was there to so I had to ask Sheila about the party details in pony latin (eg. Onypay Atinlay). We headed to the SCC to see if anybody was there whom we could ask if we could rent it out. When we entered, it turned out we were in the middle of a food fight. Thunder Shock was here too. Mr. Cake came in and blamed the whole thing on us..we helped clean up though regardless. We tried renting out the SCC with him but he didn't want to so that idea was a bust. Something very unexpected, however, happened the next day. I saw a pony I hadn't seen in a very long time...
