//------------------------------// // That Makes Sense // Story: A Book of Logic // by Dreamscape //------------------------------// That Makes Sense A small zebra striped Pegasus with a white and purple mane rode through the forest on a tall, skinny and bright yellow stallion's back. On either side of the colt's head was a set of two small horns poking through his mane. His wings were quite different than those of the average Pegasus. Instead of being feathered as a bird’s wings are, these wings were featherless and reptilian, almost like the wings of a dragon. These interesting features were nothing compared to his eyes. The colt's irises looked as though they were continuously spinning color wheels. Unlike other ponies in the same position, the yellow pony quite enjoyed letting the colt ride upon his back. His smile was huge and yellow, just like the smiling sun on his flank. His bright blue eyes flashed back and forth as he jumped over and avoided the fallen trees, rocks, and puddles at his hooves. His golden yellow hair was pushed back by the wind created from his gallop as he made his way towards Ponyville. Ginger Spice, a young orange stallion watched as the duo exited the forest. He sat lazily on a stump taking large bites out of the apple in his hoof, his dark brown eyes following the pair of ponies. The colt and the yellow stallion came to a halt before him. As they stared at him, he stared back in silence, slowly chewing the chunk of apple in his mouth. In a quick flash Ginger Spice changed from a common Earth pony into a graceful and powerful Alicorn. He slowly took another bite from his apple his face blank of any expression. The duo once again galloped away as the colt yelled "Ginger's have souls!" The yellow stallion galloped his way into the bustling streets of Ponyville. His bright blue eyes moved towards the colt riding atop him as he said "Oh, I'm so happy that we're here!" "That, we are, devil spawn, that, we are." the colt responded as he hopped off the yellow ponies back, his hooves clacking against the cobbled stone beneath them. "So, what do we do now, friend!" the stallion responded. His gigantic smile turned into an even larger and sparkling grin as he looked down at the little colt. "You'll see, possibly?" he said, finishing with a maniacal laugh. They walked passed a tree house with a sign outside signifying that it was the library. A purple unicorn opened the library's door and trotted out, followed by a small purple dragon. "Come on Spike, we have a lot to do today and don't worry it's fun stuff." she said closing the door behind him with her magic. "Yeah, I know, I know. Don't worry about it Twilight, I'm as happy as you are to spend a day with the gang." Spike said as they began walking down the street. Busy chatting, they nearly ran into the colt passing in front of them. He looked up at Twilight and she gasped at his many strange features. "Um, hi there, you must be new in town?" she said, staring into his multicolored eyes as they mesmerized her with their spinning motion. "No, I was here long ago and will probably return again." said the colt with a slight grin. "How long ago was that, you're pretty young?" Twilight asked with a chuckle. "Yes I am still quite young but many years older than you are." "But...that doesn't make any sense." "Oh, yes it does." the colt replied with pride. Twilight placed her hoof to her head in confusion but quickly placed it back on the ground. "Anyways, what's your name." she said with a smile. "My Name, oh, I didn't know I needed one? Yours is Twilight Sparkle, correct?" "So, you're saying you don't have a name?" Twilight angrily asked with a frown "... and yes, you're right, that is my name." "Well, Twilight Sparkle, I know a lot about you. I possibly even know more than you do." "That makes no sense, how could you know more about me if you’re not me?" "Maybe I am. Does anything really have to make sense?" said the colt, his mouth forming into a smirk. Twilight shook her head in anger, once again putting her hoof to her face. "I know about you too Spikey Wikey." He said, pointing his hoof towards the dragon. "I'm so sorry about my master, Twilight." the unicorn heard in a warm and happy voice. She slowly looked up and saw the glowing grin of the yellow pony. "Oh great, another wacko from the world of insanity!" she yelled, standing on her hind legs and then throwing her front legs into the air. "No we didn't mean to make you sad. Well maybe, I'm not really sure." the happy pony said with a smile. "I'm Delusional Sunshine, you can just call me Del if you want or not. Now, he doesn't really have a name but some ponies like to refer to him as Illogic." Del said pointing his hoof towards the striped Pegasus. "Oh, his eyes are so entertaining, right? Anyways, he didn't explain things very well, he never does. Although Illogic looks young, he is actually very old, well, in pony years. He's thousands of years old. He has his own idea of years that is, well, explainable. I don't even think he actually knows how old he is anymore. On the matter of him being you, I really don't know how to explain that one but its okay. Oh, and I'm his greatest minion!" "Well, thanks but I still have no clue what's going on here! What is a colt that is thousands of years old, if that's even possible, and his really happy minion doing here in Ponyville? Also, the whole eye thing, the wings, the horns, I really don't get it." Twilight said staring with confusion at the still smiling face. "Well the eye thing is magic, I know, it's great! The wings and the horn are just there because he wants them to be. As for what we're doing, I have no clue. He hasn't told me yet." "His eyes are Magical?" "Yes like your unicorn magic...only much different. He can do almost anything with them. What are we doing in Ponyville?" he asked turning his head towards Illogic. "Oh, I didn't tell you? We're taking over Equestria." "Okay sounds good." said Delusional his teeth gleaming in the sunshine. "Um, how exactly are you going to do that?" Twilight asked Illogic with a chuckle "Easy, you'll see, possibly." "Well, you do know how to confuse somepony, I'll give you that." "Exactly, you ain't seen nothin yet...ba ba ba baby." "Um, what?" "A reference, you know how it works." "No, I don't actually." Twilight said with a frown. "Well, too bad purple pony. I'd love to stay and chat but you know how it is, taking over the world and all?" "Once again, no I don't but have fun with that." "Goodbye Twilight and Spike. Hopefully we'll see you around." Del said turning to follow Illogic. "Well, that was interesting." Twilight said turning her head towards Spike. "How did he know so much, do you really think he's that old?" asked Spike. "I don't think so Spike. It's getting late, we need to hurry, the girls are probably wondering where we are by now." "You’re not worried?" "Come on, do you really think a very confusing colt and an overly happy stallion can take over Equestria?" "I don't know, Twilight, something's not right here. This is just too weird. I mean, come on, he called me Spikey Wikey, only Rarity calls me that. "I wouldn't worry about it, a lot of ponies know our names now after all we've done and I'm guessing almost anypony could come up with Spikey Wikey." Twilight said with a laugh as she began trotting towards their destination, Spike following close behind.
