//------------------------------// // Kidnapped. Version 2.0 // Story: Running from Twilight // by Brony-Sibling //------------------------------// Get. Away. From. Twilight. That's all that is on your mind right now. Get away from the most powerful being you've ever known. While she may be adorable, she is downright DANGEROUS! She just vaporized several fruit stands, magically tasered Carmel, (wrong place, wrong time buddy...) and is currently aiming for your backside with a less than friendly looking lightning spell. "Look Twilight! I'm sure we-" (the spell blasts past your hip and catches a nearby stump on fire) "NEVERMIND!" You can feel the tingle of Twilights levitation magic constantly trying to grab hold of you, and you can tell the only thing keeping her from getting a solid grip is the fact that you are moving and changing direction so quickly. You lunge over the top of Roseluck's stand and sprint into the store "Quills and Sofas". You run to the back of the store, but don't see any sort of backdoor exit. You quickly hide behind a sofa right as Twilight comes running in. "Come on out America! You WILL become a pony eventually!" Twilight announced while prowling around the couches looking for you. America? Is that what she's calling you now? Roseluck comes trotting into the store after Twilight and asks, "Twilight? What was that? Is everything alright?" "Yes Roseluck, everything is fine... This is just one of my...." Twilight puts her hoof to her mouth as she searches for a good answer. "Experiments!" "Yes!” Twilight stomps her hoof to reinforce the point. "It's just an experiment that I've been working on! It escaped and I've been trying to catch it!" "It looked scared Twilight..." Roseluck said with a concerned expression. "Maybe if you just-" "No it's fine Roseluck!" Twilight said, interrupting her hastily "I've got everything under... control..." At this point both mares have slowly stopped talking, and you glance over your shoulder to ascertain what's going on. Then you suddenly realize that they can physically SEE you awkwardly stuck climbing halfway out of the window. "Um... You say frozen halfway through the window. "I really like your manes?" In response Twilight launches a magical bolt straight at you, but this time she nails your foot as you awkwardly lunge/fall from the window. "Whoa!!" You yell. All of a sudden things start feeling strange... Your weight seems to be changing, your hands feel suddenly very odd... Almost rubbery... Then you feel it... This is it! You are changing you are- Not a pony. You are weightless! You are currently floating slowly away from the window about a foot off the ground. Picture superman, flying above the ground with arms outstretched, but with the speed of a turtle... "What? How am I even-" *WHACK* You just ran headfirst into the Apple Family Apple Stand. Maybe next time you should watch where you are flying... "Hey there! Watch where you are goin' there Mr.-" Applebloom runs around the corner to see you simply floating slightly off the ground, holding your head, right next to the Family Apple Stand. "Wh- What are you doin'" Applebloom says hesitantly. "Ughhh… I have no idea" You groan out while holding your aching head. "Applebloom! Good work!" Twilight says as she trots up. "I've been trying to catch him all day!" "Him?" Roseluck and Appleboom both ask in unison. "Oh... Hehe. Yes. This is a male that I've been experimenting on-" Roseluck's eyes widen with shock, Applebloom just looks confused. "Twilight! Roseluck exclaims in shock. "What are you-" "N-No! Not like that!" Twilight blushing crimson red stutters out, "It was a sanctioned research project for Equestri-" "Applebloom what is goin' on-" Big Mac walks up, and his eyes widen in shock as he sees you. In the midst of all the commotion, and your waves of pain, a bright multi-colored streak BLOWS right through the center of the group, sending dust and wind swirling by. All the group could hear was this faint noise when it happened. “Dibbs Egghead!” You feel something tugging you along at high speed through the air. You open your eyes to see yourself dodging around townhouses like a stunt driver maneuvering through cones on an obstacle course. You shut your eyes and frantically cover your face as you fly THROUGH two open windows at Sugarcube corner, and open your eyes as you clear the last outskirts of Ponyville... You look over your shoulder to see exaclty what is dragging you by your hoodie... to see only the most overconfident, cocky, and yet somehow inspiring smile you've ever seen. It was Rainbow Dash. "Hey there lightweight! I saw you just 'floating' around down there and thought you could use a lift!" She says as she winks at you. "Now, just 'hang' here for a second, I'll be right back!" Rainbow attaches your hoodie to a cloud. As you wonder how she did that Rainbow Dash swoops down to Twilight. Being currently weightless, and tied to a cloud really high off the ground you can't hear too much of what is being said. You did hear a small bits when the wind died down slightly. "Gated.... My projec-.... belong... Ponyfy-... Equestria!" "What? Bu-... We shoul-... Can't be righ-... Own?" "What was he? Is he dange-..." "Twilight, my catc-.... belong to whoev-... Even has my mark!" "Rainbow you giv-... Right now!" "Sorry Twi! Finde- keepers!" "RAINBOWWW!" Rainbow rockets back right in front of your face to you and cheekily grins at you as she crosses her hooves over her chest. "So. How awesome is this! You get to be around a pony as awesome as me!" "Um... Cool?" You weekly offer. "You bet it is!" Rainbow excitedly exclaims while punching you in the arm. HARD.) "So... Lets go back to my place..." Rainbow says in a husky voice with her eyes half lidded. “We can be 20% more awesome there…” "Wut..." Your mind just got fried with what just happened. "Sweet!" (Rainbow grabs you by your hoodie and shoots straight toward her favorite cloud) Well, it's like nobody says... A kidnapping a day keeps the insanity away!
