//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Maybe I could start to... // by Fat1thatyoulove //------------------------------// Chapter 4 (It’s going to be a long day) After a short breakfast that Spike brought you Twilight starts her lecture. “Ok when you meet the Princess only talk when spoke to, don’t interrupt, don’t make those jokes you make, don’t talk about how your world is more hate and discriminate rather than love and tolerate. Don’t…” Her list goes on for what feels like hours as she checks off stuff on her checklist every time she talks. You feel like you're 8 years old and your mom is trying to show you how to eat out properly. You know she means well but you don’t see a point in listening to things you know you would never do or say. Your mind starts to wonder off thinking of cats in silly hats you're not sure why, you're day dreaming doesn't last long. You have been nodding your head in agreement at everything she says, Twilight finally catches on. “Are you even listening to me?” You snap out of your day dreaming and look at her. “Yes.” She studies your face “Oh really?” “Ok what did I just say?” You repeat her “Are you even listening to me.” You feel proud for trying to troll her but then felt back for not listing. Twilight scolds you “This isn't a joke meeting the Princess is a big deal, not only is she the ruler of Equestria but she’s also my teacher.” You apologize. “Good now that you understand it’s not a joke I need you to read this book.” She drops a huge book in front of you. You look at the book thinking to yourself well I’m screwed I don’t even read a short book in a week. You look at her with a fake smile “ya i'll have this done for tomorrow.” Twilight happily smiles “Good, now if you excuse me I have to go get some things for our trip to the princess tomorrow.” You watch as she walks away towards the other room. You look back to the book let out a big sigh and open the book and start skimming through it; great no pictures. Spike is sweeping the floor next to you “At less you don’t live with her; every time she likes a book I get the same book for my birthday.” His tone makes you laugh. You look back to the book as you read the title of the book to yourself, "Equestria's History...The Land Before Us." “In the beginning there were three split tribes one of earth ponies who tamed the land and feed the other tribes, one the pegasus that changed the weather making the land able to be grown on and the other the unicorns who rose and set the sun. All three tribes fought over the land and who rightfully ruled the land…” You start flipping the pages mindlessly all the while saying to yourself to long not going to read. You beginning looking around the room for something better to do, you find yourself looking at the book Twilight was writing in. The title is “Humans”. You start reading her book; it’s a lot more interesting than the other seeing as how you already know most everything in it. It’s a few hours before you get to the last few pages, your mind is blown that a pony that only spent a few weeks in a completely unknown world was able to create such a detailed and mostly accurate description on another world. You get to the end and see some of her notes on the side of the paper. The notes look crossed out and are hard to read but you try anyway. The notes describe how she got back home; the way she describes it is by saying the only way she found a way back home was from the magic of a human. You think back to that night and how seeing her hurt made your heart sink. You close the book and try to wipe those thoughts out of your head; your glade nothing really bad happened to her there are so many things that man could had done that is he had done you would never had moved on from. You look outside and see the sun has gone down, you think to yourself crap I didn't learn a thing you walk up the stairs carrying the book of Equestria’s history. You decide ok as long as I can get to the bed I can act like I fell asleep and hopefully she won’t wake me and ask me questions. You see her in the other room doing what looks like reshelving books. This makes you go into overdrive ninja mode as you don’t want to be asked questions and you don’t want to be roped into restocking a book self. You stealthily make it to the bed and start your fool proof plan. End of chapter 4
