Chapter 3 (Ready or not)

You look at the pony that just slammed into you, the only thing you can think to yourself is “holy crap David Tenant is a pony”

You try to apologize by saying you didn't see him, but your apologize is cut short by him

“Oh i'm sorry sir, i'm just running late and must not had looked where I was going.”

The brown ponies accent is anything but what you thought but you still think this guy…pony looks like the doctor you listen as he talks all the while thinking any minute now he is going to sonic me.

“My name is Time Turner, I would have a better introduction but i'm late for updating the town halls clock” the pony now stares at you in awww “excuse me but who and what are?”

You introduce yourself then classify yourself as Twilights friend rather than trying to explain you’re basically a college alien from another world, mainly in fear of the “doctor” trying to kill you. 

“Well that’s nice maybe we could talk some other time I have to go and fix the clock its all very timey wimey so please excuse me.”

You say good bye, you’re stuck on what he said, ya bid your time David I know its you.

As you continue down the road toward home you notice that more and more of the ponies start to watch you as you walk past them, you know you don’t do much around town especially not without Twilight but surely these ponies must have seen you before.

As you walk you notice some of the ponies are whispering to each other and then they look back at you, great now they're talking about me. After a few seconds of an awkward whispering silence it’s finally broken by the all too familiar tomboyish voice

“There you are!”

The light blue pegasus zips over to you and hovers around “wow you must really like food or something; Twilight says she left like hours ago.” She slaps you on the back with her hoof “That must be why you’re so slow.”

You remember last week when you accepted her challenge to a race; you did pretty good until your shoe got untied and you tripped over it.

Rainbow seems to be thinking the same thing because now she’s mocking you “I don’t know why you humans wear shoes all the time if you’re just going to fall over yourself.”

You give a respectful laugh “Rainbow just remember who won the horseshoe throwing.” 

She stops laughing “Ya that’s right, we need to play that again and when we do no hands.” She waves her hoof in front of your face “See no fingers”

You point to your back “see no wings, so next time we race don’t use them.”

Rainbow lands next to you “Oh ya no wings hu?” “Bet you I can beat you home.”

She starts stretching her legs

“No i'm good Rainbow; if I race right now I would just end up throwing up.”

Rainbow looks at you with one eye cocked “Ya ya sure you just don’t want your tail kicked by somepony as awesome as me. You don’t know what you're missing if you would have one I would have gone to the Night before wrap up party with you.”

She flaps her wings and lifts herself back into the air “Not that you would had won anyway.”

“Oh Rainbow I would not need to win I am already going with someone.”

Rainbow lets out a huge laugh then waits for a reaction… “Oh wait your serious let me laugh even harder, what pony in there right mind would go with you.”

Your slightly offended by the comment so you start walking towards the library

“Hey wait I didn’t mean it like that, it’s just you know you're not a pony.” She rubs the back of her head with her hoof as she talks

“I’m going with Twilight.” You say

She looks like she’s thinking hard, which must be hard for her seeing as how she is all sports. “Ya I could see that working out, you’re an egg head she’s an egghead, you both suck at sports and that’s just the normal things then you two have your weird things that seem to only happen to you guys.”

You look at Rainbow “Wow Rainbow you’re the first person…I mean pony to say anything like that most just look at us weird.”

Rainbow “Ugh  I don’t want to start talking about lovey dovey stuff so im going to go chase clouds in the Everfree forest, come by the track if you want to race ok?”

You nod as she flees away.

You enter the door to the library and call out Twilights name.

Spike comes into the room “she’s not back she is still helping out at the town hall.”

You can tell he is sad so you try your luck at being Doctor Phil “I heard about that…don’t sweat it Spike that shouldn’t hurt your chance at Rarity.” You think to yourself Ha as if you had a chance.

“You think so?”

Oh crap engage lie! “Ya dude she is the element of generosity right?”

Spike looks more upbeat and sounds happier “Ya you're right, she can’t stay mad at her little Spikey wikey, hey Twilight is going to want to leave early so you should start getting ready.”

Two things pop into your head at this comment, first Get ready? This dragon must not know you put your pants on to legs at a time, second what will I wear I only got like two things. “Hey Spike what do you think I should wear?”

Spike points to a box on a nearby table “Rarity made you something.”

You walk over to the box and open it up, theres a blackish purple vest with a bowtie a white shirts and very fine black dress pants. “wow”

“ya Rarity’s work is always good” Spike says.

You grab the box and head upstairs to get ready.
