Chapter 2 This is No Time to Panic! While a certain caring butter colored Pegasus was busy worrying over an injured alien being, the self proclaimed fastest flier in Equestria was enjoying the fact she could like nearly always sleep in this morning. The cyan colored mare happily snuggling into the soft cool texture of her cloud bed. A cute yet confident smile was upon her face as her dreams were once again about becoming part of the famous Wonderbolts. She even started to mumble in her sleep as she said “…it was…nothing Spitfire just…talent… What’s that…hehe ya…I know I’m awesome…” This carried on for a good bit of time and at times there would be sluggish movements from Dash of her trying to pose for her ‘fans’ and such. Too bad all cute things must come to an end since just as dream Celestia was about to proclaim Dash as the coolest pony to ever live she was awoken. For you see Mr. Blue Jay had reached her cloud home and fluttered into the building through a window, the small feathered friend of Fluttershy soon watching Rainbow Dash make a foal of herself without her even knowing. This caused him to hide his beak behind his right wing as he tweeted out a laugh at the funny sight before focusing back on the task at hand. Mr. Blue Jay flapped his wings and flew over to Dash’s sleeping form and did what any bird would do to wake something bigger than himself. He fluttered over her face and then gave her a slightly painful peck right on the snout which of course resulted in a few things happening. Firstly the shock of that action caused Dash to let out a startled yelp “Ow!” as well as cause her wings to flap on instincts to get away from what just hurt her. Sadly trying to fly while bundled up is not a good idea and soon the cyan mare was saying hello to her bedroom floor with her face. Feathers and clouds thrown up into the air from the entire turn of events as Mr. Blue Jay had luckily been able to get out of the way of flailing hooves, rouge wing flaps, and suddenly airborne cloud pillows. Simply put it was a mess and a certain element of loyalty barer was letting out a growl of frustration before yelling “Okay who’s the wise guy that did that!?” The only response she got was a few little tweets which really wasn’t helping her figure out things, and it didn’t help she was still more or less face planted on the floor due to limbs being tangled up. Thus after a few minutes of growls of anger, kicking limbs, and a few choice words that were not to be shared with younger ponies. Rainbow Dash finally got herself free and upright once more upon her floor, and was now fully able to get a look at the mess her room was and see who the culprit of all this was. Her magenta eyes narrowing at the small bird as it landed on a cloud drawer and tweeting still in laughter at all this. “What’s the big idea bird brain?! Why the hay did you wake me up, I should clobber you for that!” replied RD while not yet learning that she looked quite the sight. Her rainbow colored mane was sticking up in all directions due to bed head, her coat ruffled and scuffed up by her struggle with blankets, and lastly the fact that at the moment only her head was poking up out of the blankets that were wrapped up around her still. All in all it was just too funny for the bird and he couldn’t stop his laughing, the act making Dash angrier and angrier until she spotted herself in one of her mirrors. Upon seeing what she looked like she let out a small laugh and said “Heh...okay I guess I do look silly but seriously why did you do that? It isn’t cool waking up a pony like that ya know.” After hearing that question again and not being distracted by the mare looking so odd Mr. Blue Jay let out a panic tweet before picking up the feather he got from Fluttershy in his beak. He waved it around at Dash to get her attention with it and was pleased to hear her say “Huh where did that…wait I know those feathers anywhere! That is one of Flutters’s feathers…is she in trouble!?” The bird knew trying to explain to the fast pony what the real issue would be impossible but figured having her follow him would be good enough. Thus instead of taking time to play charades or twenty questions he instead took off from the drawer and flew to the window he came in through. He fluttered in place outside of the cloud house in perfect view of RD before trying to gesture with his left wing for her to follow him. It took a moment for Rainbow Dash to get with the program, but eventually she figured out what he wanted and extracted herself out of her blankets and took off after the bird. With the two soon soaring through the blue skies of Equestria toward the Everfree Forest, but the entire way Dash was worried that her childhood friend was in trouble and thought `Please be safe Flutters I’m coming!` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While that was happening events inside of the Everfree forest were changing as there was one thing about Video Game characters. They are very difficult to keep down for long if you don’t take them out fully, and that is even more so for ‘Bad Guys’ considering how they tend to be toughened up from getting beaten up a lot. As such only a few minutes after Fluttershy’s fine feathered friend had flown off to find Rainbow Dash, Ralph was starting to come too once again as he felt an oddly pleasant breeze washing over him. This caused the mountain of a man to slowly open his brown eyes and look around a bit slowly, the feeling of soreness and pain going through his body making it clear what happened before was indeed real and not a nightmare. Something he really wished wasn’t true but since he was still alive he figured it wasn’t all bad, but as he looked around he spotted something that was the same color as pink lemonade. Which for a moment caused him to think it was frosting or something due to how colorful it was till he noticed it was hair, as such he figured he turned his head slightly to follow the hair to its source and saw the small four legged winged creature fanning him. Once his eyes locked upon it and it took notice of him looking at it he saw it freeze up in what he knew to be fear. This caused Ralph to roll his eyes a bit before saying “Uh…hello?” but all he got in response was a muffled squeak sound, as the creature quickly tucked its’ wings against its’ body and huddled against the ground trying to look smaller. Figuring he wasn’t going to get much out of the thing he let out a groan and used his large hands to help push himself off the ground. His joints making a cracking sound during the move as clumps of dirt and dust fell off from his stomach, chest, and arms. Once he finally got himself to sit upright Ralph focused his attention on the yellow and pink creature and mentally grimaced as he thought `Ugh…what ever it is the thing is almost as adorable as the squirt…` Of course after being around Sugar Rush characters so much Ralph had a high tolerance for things of sugar, spice, and everything nice…as well as for sweets too. But either way he let out a sigh and moved his hand to his face to pinch the bridge of his nose as he tried to figure out what to do right now. All the while the little cute creature shivered and had covered its’ head with its’ forelegs with its eyes clamped shut. Really it was tugging at his heart strings and he didn’t like it as it just not right for a ‘Bad Guy’ to be subjected to this and soon enough he threw his large hands in the air in exasperation before saying in his normally gruff voice “Okay okay stop that already, I’m not going to hurt you or anything so calm down…Uhh…little…winged horse thing?” Well if that wasn’t an awkward way to end a statement then Ralph didn’t know what was, but now that he was taking time to look the creature over he was able to figure out it was some kind of small winged horse. Furthermore he had a good guess the winged horse was a girl cause well he just hoped for its’ sake it wasn’t a male as it looked far too girly for that gender. Unfortunately his words did little to calm the female horse as she continued to shiver in fear at his scary sounding, at least to her, voice and intimidating size. This caused Ralph to think it would be best to just leave the horse alone and tried to get up, only for him to let out a yelp of pain as the crash into the ground must have twisted his right ankle. The sharp stinging pain shooting through the right leg making it clear he wasn’t supposes to get up yet, and in clear response to that he quickly ended up falling back onto his large rump with a thump. The huge living wrecking ball letting out pained ‘Ow’s!’ as his large hands moved to hold his good sized foot as he said “Gah well that’s just great! Twisted the stupid thing when I fell…stupid game tram!” Ralph’s bad temper was sort of boiling over as he was furious with how things were going as he was finally happy and now all this happens. Wasn’t it enough that for thirty years he had a crummy life? Did he not deserve to have a nice life after all he did? Did he- “Oh my, Mr. Creature you are still really hurt so please don’t move …um if you don’t mind that is...” ”Huh?” Okay that got Ralph’s attention for sure as he looked up to see that the horse was no longer looking at him in fear or cowering but instead looking at him in concern like a maternal figure or something. A little odd to have her personally do a one eighty on him but it was an improvement and better still she could talk the same language as him. Which is a good thing too as he had a hard enough time trying to speak with Q*bert and he been around the guy for years and who knows how long it would of taken him to speak to her if she spoke some weird language. Either way he was still surprised and even more so when the little horse came closer to him and started to examine his right ankle carefully. As he watched her expression changed from one of concern to sadness and then determination he figured he would try talking once more and said “Uhh…so you can talk like me?” “Oh well…umm…y-yes.” “Well that’s good…glad I don’t have to learn to speak some weird language to talk to you like I do with my good pal Q*bert. Great...what ever he is...but still hard to speak with him. Anyway what is your name? I’m Ralph, Wreck-It Ralph.” Ralph asked in a casual tone in hopes of not startling the apparently skittish horse into going quiet again once more. Oh sure he wasn’t all that into talking all the time but still even he likes to have something being said instead of maddening silence. But what he got in response was a little less than what he was wanting as he just barely heard a mumbling sound as the horse was trying to hide her face behind her pink mane with only one large turquoise eye showing. “What was that? I didn’t quite hear you.” “I-I said my name is…F-Fluttershy” “Uh nope still didn’t hear you one more time.” Ralph asked as he leaned his head down toward her and cupped a hand around his ear to better listen to the little equine. Only for another louder female voice to suddenly yell at the top of her lungs “Get away from her you monster!” which was then promptly followed by Ralph feeling pain shoot through his face as something fast and blue slammed into his head and knocked him bowling over. Ralph of course quickly grabbed his face with both hands and let out muffled yells of pain as what ever did that just gave him a heck of a hit on the nose as he heard that same voice say “Take that you chump! No pony hurts my friends!” “Gaahh ha-haooowww! What the heck was that for!?” yelled Ralph in response as the stars he was seeing due to the intense pain started to fade out of his field of vision. But still he kept his hands over the lower half of his face to shield his mouth and nose from harm while his brown eyes looked for his attacker. Only for his left bushy brow to rise at the sight of the horse he was looking at before saying in a nasally voice “Heh nice hair skittles…” Which of course caused the cyan horse to puff up in anger as she said “Can it caterpillar brow!” “Like to see you try and make me little blue!” “That’s it! I’m going to clobber you for that!” But just before the two of them could go at it another more commanding voice yelled out “STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!” and surprisingly enough both actually did as told and quickly turned to attention to the butter yellow horse. While Ralph had to think `Why do I feel like I just got scolded by my momma?` Either way once things were calmed down enough the normally shy mare said in an scolding tone “Rainbow Dash you shouldn’t of hit Mr. Ralph on the nose like that, he is already hurt and you should know better.” “But Fluttershy I saw him…he was going to try to eat you!” “Oh Rainbow…no he wasn’t he just couldn’t hear me when he asked for my name…” “…Oh that…makes sense then. Heh…my bad.” Replied Rainbow Dash as she bashfully rubbed the back of her head with her left hoof while flapping her wings to fly in place. As this went on Ralph was starting to figure out that the shy horse known as fittingly enough Fluttershy was someone to not get upset at you. Heck he only got yelled at and already he felt a bit nervous though he shook it off as he saw the cyan one known as Rainbow Dash get scolded. He was about to grin behind his hands before Fluttershy turned to face him and said in that same tone “As for you, you shouldn’t of called Rainbow Dash names.” “Hey she hit me though…” “Oh I know and I’m very sorry about that and I’m sure she is too, but still you shouldn’t resort to name calling.” “…But I…and she…ugh…fine I’m sorry for calling you names…err…Rainbow Dash right?” Ralph asked curiously as he did hear the names but he wasn’t fully sure he heard then right or not, but the nod he got from Fluttershy told him he had gotten it right so he was okay with it. It was then that his nose finally stopped throbbing enough that he could take his hands off his face and look at the damage. Too bad that doing so quickly caused Rainbow Dash to start laughing and holding her sides while Fluttershy was torn between scolding RD, trying to care for the injured nose, or hiding a tiny giggle that wanted to come out. Ralph didn’t understand what the big deal was till he saw that his nose was now really red and puffy at the moment and looked like a clown nose. This caused him to furrow his brow in discontent and give Dash a dirty look before gingerly touching his red nose with his left thumb and index finger before wincing and jerking them away with an ow. He then grumbled “Great…just great…-glares at Dash- Ya yuck it up, I’ll get you back for this…” though his attention was soon back on Fluttershy when she flew up to his face and very gently touched his nose with her hoof. “Oh dear it is very swollen now…I’m sorry that Rainbow Dash did this too you. But don’t worry I have some ointment back at my house that can fix this right up…if you don’t mind following me that is…” Fluttershy meekly said as she sort of shrunk back after her concern was overtaken by her shyness once again. But still the effect was noticeable as Ralph had a very hard time trying to stay upset with the caring mare around him, and as such his expression softened a bit while Dash had the decency to look ashamed for harming him. Thus with a deep sigh he felt his temper simmer down as he then said “It’s okay…Fluttershy…it was an accident so I’ll let it go this time. I can’t get too mad since she did think I was going to hurt her friend, and I can respect that –turns to face Rainbow Dash and points his right index finger at her- But don’t do that again, got it?” “Ya ya don’t get your tail in a twist bub.” Dashed replied as she waved off his actions like they were nothing but pests. To be honest Ralph wasn’t all that insulted by Rainbow Dash’s casual actions and words, cause to be honest it really reminded him of his friend Vanellope. Since just like her Rainbow Dash was an adorable, small, spunky little pain in the neck or at least she seems like that so far. He figured it was too soon to judge her character but so far it was like he met a horse version of his little friend. But soon that line of thought helped him remember that he wasn’t in his game, he didn’t know where he was, and he might not see his friends again if he doesn’t get back soon. That line of thought caused him to try and jump back onto his feet so he could stand, but that sharp pain in his right ankle was making it hard as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy backed away from the huge figure. Since with Ralph now standing they could see he was even taller than the Princesses, and was really heavy built with the big arms, huge torso, large feet, and colossal hands. But the pained winces Ralph was making did help make them less scared of him and more worried as they didn’t want to see him in pain. “Mr. Ralph please you need to not move so much, your ankle is twisted remember.” exclaimed Fluttershy as she tried to move over to him to get him to settle down a bit. But all that Ralph said was“No time for that I got to get back home, I got to or they’ll pull the plug!” “Whoa big guy what are you going on about?” “What do you mean ‘what are you going on about?’. Everyone knows that if a game is missing a character the players will think something is wrong with it and it will get unplugged!” “…M-Mr. Ralph you are not making sense...w-what game?” “…Seriously? –sighs- My game, the game Fix-It Felix Jr. It is the game I came from, I’m very important to that game and if I’m not there the game won’t work!” Ralph yelled in a bit of frustration as he never knew game characters that were so ignorant of the basics of video game life. His loud voice had made Fluttershy shrink back and hide behind her mane in a bit of fear while Rainbow Dash said “Hey don’t start yelling at Fluttershy she is just trying to figure out what is wrong! Now why in the hay are you so important in this game that it can’t work without you?” “Because I’m the bad guy in the game, I’m the one who wrecks the building so that Felix can be the hero and fix it up. Now where is your game tram I need to get back home...Why are you glaring at me?” Ralph asked as he saw that Rainbow Dash took on a defensive pose in front of Fluttershy and was dragging her front right hoof over the ground with her wings spread open wide. “I knew it, you are a monster. You just came here to cause trouble for Equestria! Well that ain’t happening on my watch!” “What are you going…-face palms before wincing at hitting his nose- Gah need to remember to not do that...But now I see, you think that because I am a ‘Bad Guy’ that I am a bad guy. Oh boy how do I explain this…? It’s my job but it isn’t who I am. Just because I wreck stuff in my game doesn’t mean I go around breaking stuff all the time. I mean heck I was the best man for Felix’s wedding for Pong’s sake…so just cool it hot head.” Ralph said in a bored and annoyed tone while Rainbow Dash just sort of stared at him in confusion and wonder before she said. “So where you are from…your job….is to be a bad guy?” “Pretty much ya, now where is your game tram so I can get back home. Actually what game is this anyway I never seen it before in the Arcade.” “Uhh...don’t know what you are talking about big guy, this is Equestria and it sure as hay isn’t a game. But…what is an R-cade?” asked Rainbow Dash while Fluttershy started to peek out from behind her to see if Ralph was settled down enough. Regrettably the opposite was happening as Ralph was starting to panic from what he was hearing, since based on what Rainbow Dash was telling him, what he saw during the night this mess happened, and the fact he had no idea what all this was. He came to the conclusion he was in a boat load of trouble and it was sinking fast into a sea of uncertainty, which caused him to do just one thing that any sane being would do. He started to panic a bit and get angry as he said “No no no no no nononono! This has to be a joke or a prank some sick prank! I have to be still in the Arcade I have to!” Ralph soon started to loose his cool as he began to use his huge fist to pound the ground, the two mares watching in a mix of shock and awe as his fist smashed the earth flatter and flatter with each blow. Dash though had enough after half a minute of him just wailing on the dirt and yelled “Hey calm down! If you are lost then Twilight or the Princesses can send you back, so stop throwing a temper tantrum you big baby!” Those words stopped Ralph in mid-swing as he looked up at Rainbow Dash and then said “…Why didn’t you say so sooner! Lets hurry up and go see them; I have to get back home to my friends.” Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy didn’t expect the guy to suddenly switch from panic mode back to a calmer state of mind so quickly. But soon they heard Ralph say “Uhh just which direction are we suppose to go?” which made them both sigh and shake their heads a bit before Dash flew up to him and said “Just follow me big nose.” “…Lead the way short stack.” was Ralph’s response while Fluttershy let out a soft sigh at the two bickering again like this, the three of them now heading out of the ever free forest with Ralph boxed in by the two mares. But as they moved Rainbow Dash thought `Hope Twi or the Princesses can help this guy, don’t want to see him throw another fit inside Canterlot or Ponyville...` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End Chapter~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well here is Chapter 2 I worked out, don't expect this to always be rapidly updating though. I just had an easy time cranking this one out, while in the future I'm sure it will get hectic and even more so when I try to have a lot of characters talking at once. Ya I'll be working on a way to make it easier to keep up with once I get that far if I can figure out a way to do so without color coding. Now then I need to ask you guys a little question of where I should have this start out Episode wise. Do you want him to have ended up in ponyville during Season 1 or 2.....and if so which episode would it be best for him to be stumbling into? I mean it is of course after the whole nightmare moon deal since Twi and co are friends right now but really give me a Episode title and so forth, I will be happy to try to work from there.
