//------------------------------// // Look Before you Sleep // Story: The Hero Of Equestria // by AgusQueen4 //------------------------------// Saitama was flying along with other pegasi also cloud cleaners like him or Rainbow Dash, today's task was to accommodate the clouds for a rain scheduled for today and other ponies would be in charge of removing all the broken branches to prevent them from falling on someone During the storm, having said this, everypony got to work: Saitama moved the occasional cloud while he thought something specific about this task and it was: Who the hell would think of programming rain on a possible and beautiful day? -Well, not every day can be good apart from that maybe someone likes the rain- he said to himself while he put the last cloud that after a few seconds would start to drip along with the others indicating that it would start to rain -I'm done- using his magic would teleport to the barracks where he would report that he finished his job to receive his pay and then retire home. For now he would be home with only Twilight, since Spike went on a trip to Canterlot on royal business -I see you did a good job and they paid you- Twilight commented to our hero who was going to the couch he used and that he proclaimed as own -Yes, the pay is fine- replied our hero who took off his suit to put on his sweatshirt, which made the unicorn a bit uncomfortable *it's not so much what they paid me when I was class C, or well when I was class B it seemed to me pay a little more* once comfortable he began to read as usual Twilight was closing the windows to prevent water from entering the house but when doing so she realized something, so she opened the door calling two ponies and telling them to come in, after a few seconds Applejack and Rarity appeared at the entrance, the latter was the only one that entered since Applejack stopped to ask. -Is it good to be here during a thunderstorm?- Don't blame her for asking, after all, it's a tree in the middle of a storm and lightning can strike it and catch fire. -It is if you don't have a magical lightning rod protecting your home like me, come in- she replied inviting her to come in calmly so that nothing bad happens -Ah, we are very grateful for your invitation- -Thank you for your hospitality- Rarity puts her paw on she, stopping her step -Huh?- The unicorn would point to her muddy paws -Be a polite guest and please go wash yourself- -Go wash, you won't stain the floor- our hero ask, supporting the unicorn who gave a victorious look to the cowgirl who only growled irritated -I have to spend a second more with this maniac Rarity, I can't take responsibility for what I'll do- saying this, she goes outside to wash his hooves -What a storm, the pegasus ponies overstepped this time- -Hey, I just did what they asked me, don't complain to me, complain to whoever scheduled a rain for today- replied our hero who returned to his reading -I hope you don't have trouble getting home- -It could really be a problem- Rarity was one of those mares that she could not tolerate even a drop in her mane -Well, you can stay if you need to, Spike traveled to Canterlot on royal business, I'll be alone with Saitama tonight- -Twilight, don't say it so she could be misunderstood!- Our hero scolded him, making Rarity blush a little as she imagined such a scene between her friend and that self-proclaimed hero *What the hell am I thinking?! That's impossible!* -Misunderstand? What are you talking about?- Saitama wouldn't answer her, since he wouldn't know what to answer since he didn't want to create a misunderstanding and also get kicked out of there -Are you going to answer me?... I think not, it seems he was very immersed in your reading, I won't bother you. What was I on?- she began to think until an idea occurred to her -Why you guys don't stay the night? We'll have a sleepover!- she suggested with a smile while clapping his hooves -I've always wanted to make a one- Rarity blinked a few times before answering -Oops, what a thing, I think I have another engagement scheduled for tonight that I had completely forgotten about until now- It's not that I didn't want to have a sleepover with Twilight, I would gladly if the circumstances there were others, but now not with a certain cowgirl -hahaha how clumsy, I can't stay all night... With Applejack- Twilight would use her magic to pull a book from one of the highest shelves in her bookcase, open it to show Rarity with a smile, who would read the book's title -Sleepover 101: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know But Were Afraid ask- -My own individual copy, it's a fantastic reference guide, you should see the index, I was waiting for the opportunity to use it and today is the day!- Twilight exclaimed with great excitement to finally have a sleepover -This is going to be great!- -Yes, great- she laughed nervously, since now she couldn't refuse to see her friend so happy with the idea of a sleepover, that would undoubtedly make her feel bad -This is a sleepover for girls, only for girls, right?- Twilight nodded with the head still keeping animated -well there is a little problem with that- -Which one?- Rarity would very discreetly point out to our hero who was still immersed in his reading of Daring Doo -Oh, it's not necessary, we can invite him, I don't think it's wrong- the purple unicorn would approach our hero to ask if he would I would join the sleepover -hey Saitama- -Hey- under the book to see it -Would you like to join our sleepover- -No thanks, sleepovers never caught my attention, apart from it's one for girls and I wouldn't fit in- -Oh, I see- -I'll leave you alone, I'll go to the basement to continue my reading- Saitama went to a door that, when opened, revealed some stairs that led down to the basement of the tree house -Okay, have a good time and don't forget that you can join us if you get bored- -Do you have a basement?- asked the dressmaker who did not know that detail of her friend's house Saitama would go down the stairs until he reached the basement, Twilight usually used the basement to have time with her hobby. What is it? Well, she told him that her favorite hobby is the scale models built by her hooves, since she was a child liked it. She for now, was going through a quarter of Ponyville starting with her house and expanding to surroundings. -It's surprising, the only scale models I've done are school assignments when I was young, this one is pretty good... Although it feels a bit disturbing- Our hero would resume his reading but not before making his couch appear with his magic to make himself comfortable, once he finally finished his book, he sat there without knowing what to do. -How boring, what can I do? Could you go upstairs? Nah, I'm not interested in girly things- he turned his head looking at the scale model and an idea occurred to him -I wonder if- Saitama would make his horn shine by enveloping his body in a red aura that would slowly make him shrink to the size of a doll, once that size using his wings he went to the model landing on the replica of the tree house. -Wow, it feels like being in Ponyville- he looked inside the house, seeing that even inside her it's the same -Wow, Twilight really made an effort- he kept looking noticing that there were also replicas of him, Spike and Twilight -hey, it's me in the doll- he looked at himself for a few seconds to look away -this really could be for a horror story- Once he inspected all the places in Ponyville under construction for now, he left the model to return to his original size, and with nothing else to do he would make his bed and pajamas appear with his magic to sleep right there... He slept like a baby, oh well as far as I get since some screams from the other side would wake him up from his sacred nap. -Is there something else that could go wrong?!- The basement door would be opened abruptly accompanied by the sound of thunder, it was Saitama who didn't look very happy -Do you want to stop yelling?! It disturbs my sleep!- -Sorry for asking- Twilight said between whispers as she hid under her sheets. -What few manners, they didn't teach you not to yell at the ladies- Saitama throws his pillow at her face -And you weren't taught to keep your voice down when someone is sleeping?- our hero would turn around heading back to the basement while closing the door He would lie down on his bed again and resume his nap believing that the mares understood his message and that they would not make so much noise so as not to disturb his nap... Or so he believed, since a loud noise woke him up, he opened his eyes, while he got up like Dracula from his coffin, he looked at the door, listening to the voices of the mares. He growled irritated since he couldn't throw them out or silence them because this wasn't his house but Twilight's, he wouldn't lose sleep since tomorrow there is a sale of vegetables at half price and he wouldn't miss it for the world. So he thought that he could do about it, so after thinking for a while an idea occurred to him, and that was to teleport with his bed to another side to sleep august and without anyone to bother him. -Well, here I go- he made his horn shine as he concentrated -I only ask that there is no rain- Saitama would reappear in what seemed like an abandoned castle that our hero recognized as the one where he defeated Nightmare Moon, there was no rain here which was a relief for our hero who otherwise would get completely wet including his bed since where he was there was no ceiling or even walls, oh well, almost. -I think I'll find a room to sleep in, there must be one- Saitama would go looking for him while he levitated his bed with his magic, walked through the long, dark and gloomy corridors of the old castle that would scare even the bravest but for our hero this was nothing special -Hmm?- he turned to look behind him since he felt that someone was watching him from behind, but when he didn't see anything he thought it would only be his imagination so he continued ahead It was already daylight, so the sun's rays pierced the window of the room where Saitama had stayed to sleep, it would hit him all over the face causing discomfort in our hero who would slowly begin to wake up accompanied by a good and long yawn. -Damn, I haven't slept so well in so long, this place is quiet, comfortable and with no one to start reading at 3:00 in the morning- and he wasn't lying since Twilight had a habit of reading at that time with a small lamp shining on her, which annoys him -maybe I'll move here, it reminds me of my apartment in city Z, only without Genos. I admit I miss his extravagances- he got out of bed while changed into his sweatshirt that he made appear with her magic -I hope he's not so worried about me-
