As the class bell rung, our studies instructor had something to announce before we left (Which is very frustrating because he always does this during my lunch break). The teacher's name was Mr. Woodberry... I'm not kidding, and he has had it out for me the very moment I arrived to his classes. Oh and by the way my name is Stanley Madison, 24 years old working on getting my master's degree in gaming. I have a pretty normal scrawny build, and I have short shaggy hair to my ears. My eyes are are the darkest shade of blue and i'm quite the ladies man......
Who are you kidding, you haven't had a girlfriend since the 5th grade. Even I thought you looked pitiful back then!
SHUT UP!. Oh, and if you didn't know, that was my brain making that little comment there. He's pretty much helpless when it comes to self encouragement.
But back to the story at hand. Mr. Woodberry had pointed me out specifically to come towards him, while everyone else was leaving class. I was pretty hesitant at the decision because I was really hungry, but I might as well get this over with before he does it tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that...
------------------------------------------
"YO!, MISTER WOOD BERRLE'S, WHAT UP." I yelled in a weird southern rapper accent. He could tell I was joking. But he still had the face of concern, not at my accent, but at something else.
"Are you aware of your performance in this course of your studies Mister Madison?" Said Mr. Woodberry with a quite serious tone.
"Man-, I'll be alright. How bad can it be?" I say with some concern of my own.
"It's not how bad it can be. it's how bad it's GOING to be if you don't get yourself together." He says with a more louder tone.
"Oh." I said simply staring down at my stomach with hunger and disappointment.
"But!" Mr. Woodberry says, suddenly getting my attention.
"I could give you some extra credit, if it'll make a difference?" The old man says with a slight smile building upon his face.
"Yeah, Sure, Anything... I Guess." I said with eager, and a slight eyebrow raising. I already knew I might be failing this course because of my lack of effort before lunch. I not sure why, Its just always seems like my concentration revolves around food... But yet, i'm not overweight.
"Alrighty Then. Write me an essay on something that has happened in your life that changed you." He exclaimed revealing the subject. I soon pause for a couple of moments trying to recall such moments... But nothing came up, I've had a pretty bland, boring life so far up to now. The last exciting thing I recall me doing was getting a diploma to go to this college, and even that hasn't changed me.
"Can I have another topic." I questioned him. But he simply said "It's either this, or fail." with a stern look on his face. I didn't question him any further, nodding my head in acceptance. As I walked out the room I turn back to say "Thanks for the second chance." making him know that i'm thankful for this opportunity. But he just nodded and dug inside his desk revealing some applesauce.
"So that's why he always smells like that." I said with a snicker shutting the door to his classroom and dashing as fast as I could to the cafe I usually eat at. I didn't have a car, or a bike, or any other mode of transportation instead of my legs, so it was hard to get around the campus.
As I was running I suddenly stop over my phone vibrating in my side pocket. As I pick it up to review the caller, it was this one egghead I agree to be science partners with, just to get a easy grade. I answered the call...
"Yeah?" I said with a non-caring attitude.
"Are you coming by, the class ends in the next 20 minutes. I really need you to get through this final phase of the project." He says with begging and concern. Truth be told I have completely forgot what we were doing, I probably would have to stop by to see the doohickey, or whatever he's making just for the sake of helping out.
"Sure i'm on my way, My lunch break doesn't end for an hour anyway." I say with less stress as I got a quick candy bar from a nearby vending machine.
"Stupendous, can't wait!" The caller says with greed as he hangs up the phone.
Man that guy is weird why did you ever agree to be being his partner anyway. He probably takes samples of your saliva while you take naps in their and uses it as body soap. And who in the FUCK says stupendous as a response to anything.
"I don't know?" I say taking a bite of my candy bar. "But, he's my only chance of getting decent grades in that class for participation". As I took another bite of my candy bar, I finally suggested to look around realizing that I was just talking to myself. Forever Alone i suppose.
No Worries, You still got me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I stopped by a supplies store to buy a notepad for some quick thinking during this science project. Just in case I have to make up a story on the spot for Mr. Woodberry. As I was walking I still felt a unbelievable hunger going through my stomach once more, apparently that candy bar didn't hit the spot. So I purchased some chips from another vending machine standing beside the class I was about to enter.
Damn dude, You're really letting yourself go. All that trans-fat.
"........SHUT UP." I say to myself for no apparent reason as I entered the class.
There were strict signs all over the classroom saying not to bring food or drinks into the science lab, But I just simply ignored them and kept moving without wearing required safety gear and such. YEAH, I'm a rebel.
NOT!
As I arrived in the room my science partner walks forward to greet me as the others ignored the fact I was there.
"Hello Teammate, What's fresh, my dog... Yo?" The nerd says with the most idiotic attempt to be cool i have ever seen.
"Dude, Stop doing that. And lets go on with this project." I demand, taking a couple of more bites at my chips. He got the point I was making and proceeded across the room, and I soon followed him towards his contraption. He then stopped and pointed to what look like a 7 foot steel box with vending machine number keys on the side.
"Cool, Were making a vending machine, I love vending machines." I said eagerly at the site.
Of Course You Do, Every time you spot one you always fantasize about those Nutty-Nut bars in your mouth, gobbling it down like its your last supper!
I chose to ignore my pondering thoughts and continued on with my visuals.
"No, it's a time machine silly!" The guy exclaims with greed. Matter of fact I hardly know this guy's name, might as well ask him before things get awkward. "Hey." I say as he turns to me. "What's your name again? I never really caught it last time." He then forwardly said without question that his name was Jason... Jason Turner to be exact. Hmph. I can't believe I couldn't remember that.
He then explained more about the 'Time Machine' he thought he was making, but I simply ignored everything uttering from his lips, and looked directly at the shiny buttons. "Sooo, What do these button do?" I said tapping a couple of buttons on the machine before Jason slapped my hand away. "Don't do that! Look, you got your greasy potato chip fingerprints all over the buttons. It's still in the kinks right now, and I don't know if any buttons is functional like I programmed so." Jason yelled, pointing at my greasy mitts.
"Ok Man, You didn't have to slap me." I say rubbing the hand that was smacked and the bag of chips in the other. "Sooo, Basically....You don't know what you're doing?" I also say in reply.
"That's what i'm trying to find out, and that's why I asked you for help, to see if it does what its program to do." Jason says.
"Which is?" I replied with an eyebrow raised.
"Time travel, you dult!" he says with a little anger in his voice, as if he's been talking to himself this entire time.
"Oh Ok, Sure i'm game. So what do I do exactly?" I ask with concern
"I just need you to step inside until i'm done with a couple of tests." Jason replies. So I just shrugged my shoulders and stepped inside the metal box knowing good and well that it wasn't going to work. I still had my chips intact though, enjoying them for what seemed like forever inside the cold metal box. There was Nothing special inside but just a couple unplugged wires. So I chose to ignore it.
PLUG IT.
Huh?
PLUG IT IN, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.
I really, don't wanna mess anything up.
YOU MIGHT BE FIXING SOMETHING, JUST PLUG IT UP AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Weeeeelllll, Now that you put it 'that' way. Without hesitation I plugged in the 3 colored wires into their correct slots, And no action occurred. Jason was then alarmed by the 3 sniping sounds inside the box, But I simply told him it was nothing and he carried on.
"See, Like I said nothing was gonna happ-.." Almost on impact of me saying that, something went terribly completely wrong. As a shock of lightning appeared across my face, then white blankness started to obscure my vision. After what seemed like a couple of minutes, I could not see a THING but my potato chips and just....White. And if it couldn't get any worse, Rainbows started to scatter across my vision for a couple of minutes followed by this up loud screeching sounds. It was irritating. I was then seeing this one horse-ish type figure pass me by, kinda brown with a hourglass tattoo on it's leg I assumed, but that's not the case right now. Finally I see sunlight, and a type of village of somewhat I think... But then again, I might just be getting high from all those visuals. My head was starting to rush as I was heading towards a ground. Then... BOOM!! I collide with an unbelievable force onto the surface.
With the rest of the strength I had left, I reached into my chip bag to pull out what might be my last meal, and toke a bite.
"Mmmmmm." Satisfaction entered my lips as I pass out in an environment that smelled like...... Animals.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What in Equestria was that Fluttershy!" yelled Rainbow Dash as she was inside Fluttershy's cottage when the sound transpired.
"I'm... I'm not sure, but lets not go find out." yelps Fluttershy as she was alarmed by the sound also. It was while she was feeding her animals as it took place.
"What do you mean lets not go find out, it could be a pony in danger!" tells Rainbow Dash, really curious about the events. But Fluttershy didn't listen as she shook in fear of the idea. Rainbow Dash simply shakes her head looking at her troubled friend, she then thinks of a clever tactic... "It could be an 'Animal' in danger, Fluttershy." says the cyan mare looking at her friend for a response. Suddenly Fluttershy gets off her hooves and dashes to the scene "An animal in danger, why didn't you say so?" she said without hesitation.
Rainbow Dash trying to keep up with her speed to the scene that wasn't much far away from her house, matter of fact it was just at the backyard. They both come to a stop inspecting the hole in question. "Wow, what kind of creature can make a hole that big." Questions Fluttershy inspecting the hole. "I don't know." responds Rainbow Dash looking as well. "I've never seen a creature this size before, Should we pick it up?" says Fluttershy looking at Rainbow Dash for approval. "Sure, on three we pick this thing up." says Rainbow Dash as Fluttershy nods her head in response.
"1,"
"2,"
"3!" As they both lift the creature out of the hole, and on to the ground-level surface.
Moans, and groans were coming from the creature, like it was in deep pain. Fluttershy quickly inspects the creature if it was harmed or not. But all she got in return was some more moans and groans of pain. So she went into drastic measures, hoping that her idea will suffice. Rainbow Dash not knowing what she was going to do, stood back a little after looking at Fluttershy's determined face.
At the crack of her hooves she forcefully rubbed them together then grabbed a whole of the creatures neck. And with a twist of her grip she SNAPS the creatures neck. With its reaction revealing an outburst of foul language that the mares haven't heard in one saying. The creature then passes out again, this time more lifeless then before. It scene goes quiet for a couple of seconds until Fluttershy broken down into fresh sobs knowing what she might have done, while Rainbow Dash comes from behind slowly embracing her. "Cheer Up Fluttershy, It isn't dead.... Look it's still breathing... right?" Dash says while pointing at the creature who was indeed still breathing. "That's not the point, I thought I could help it, but I only made it things worst." says Fluttershy, slowly calming down her tearful eyes. "Let's just take it inside until it's feeling better, then you can explain what went wrong." asks Rainbow Dash. "I guess so. I hope it doesn't hate me." reply's Fluttershy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then woke up in what looks like a cottage, pretty comfortable and warm then my usual dreams, but this is still nice. I felt an uncomfortable sensation around my neck though, almost like a brace of some kind. "Hmm, That's unusual for a dream." I whispered to myself as I couldn't move, almost like I was paralyzed. " Now this is exactly like my dreams." I say in an normal voice. I was still inspecting the features of the place I currently was, until suddenly I heard voices from behind a doorway of the room I was in. I immediately thought this was one of those dreams were I get murdered by people, man I hate those dreams!
2 horse shape figures then catch the corner of my eye as I hear them walking towards my body. "Aw great, they're deformed too, that's just fucking fantastic!" I think to myself as how bad the dream was going so far. Soon they were in front of me, and I had my eyes closed shut from not to seeing the mutations. But then, one nicely said...
"Hello, are you okay mister creature, sir?" I immediately open my eyes to see where that soft adorable tone of voice was coming from. And soon enough I found out...My dream was getting weirder. A small bright yellow horse stood in front of me with big concerned eyes. As a blue small horse with with rainbows in her hair and big eyes stood next to it.
"Excuse me, but did you just....talk?" I said breaking the barrier of silence in the room.
"Why yes, yes I did. Is that unusual or something, because I can stop." said the troubled yellow horse.
"No, No, It's just that.....Wait a minute! FUCKING TALKING HORSES!!!" I shouted trying to make sure I was still in reality, and quite frankly... I wasn't.
"Hey, Buddy for your information, we're not horses. We're PONIES." the blue one says with an attitude.
And after all that just took place, my brain started to go numb. And soon enough I was knocked out again..
"Hmph, what a lightweight!" is all I hear echoing from the blue "pony" as I was fading away from the scene.
