//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Fantasies // Story: Golden-O-Seven, Double Eye // by Trigger_Finger //------------------------------// Twilight was having a rather romantic dream that had her new hero, James Pony, in it. Ourumov was chasing them down, shooting at her with his DD44 Dostovei. James tackled her into a room to save her from the incoming bullets. “Hurry this way my princess, it’s not safe here” James said in a romantic and very gentlecolty voice. Twilight followed him but suddenly three Russian stallions burst from the shadows and held them at gunpoint with several KF7 rifles. James immediately snapped up his PP7 and shot all of them in an instant. All the Russian ponies died in a comical way before James pulled Twilight along with him. Suddenly Ourumov appeared with Alec Stallyan and the two began to shoot at them again. James pulled Twilight behind a bookshelf in the archives, holding her close to his chest to protect her. She could feel his heartbeat. “Can you shoot a gun?” James asked her and Twilight nodded. James handed her his iconic PP7 while he pulled out a KF7 Soviet he had picked up earlier. They both spun out, Twilight levitating the PP7 in her magic aura while James held the KF7 in both hooves. They both fired upon the bad guys, Ourumov was shot in the head by James while Twilight shot Alec multiple times in the chest. Alec’s body twisted and turned then he finally toppled over a ledge and fell to the floor below with a THUD. James grabbed Twilight and rushed her towards a window, firing upon the window with his assault rifle. The window shattered just as they reached it and they rushed through the busted window. James proceeded to lead them away and commandeered a nearby aircraft then flew them away to the safety of a warm beach. After they landed they both proceeded to the beach where James went for a swim while Twilight rested peacefully on the beach. “Wow… I never thought I’d get to see the real James Pony” Twilight mused to herself, thinking it was happening in real life. Suddenly James trotted out from the water in a very slow trot, showing off his rather toned and muscular build. Twilight’s heart began to pump faster and she gulped as she felt her wings poof out. James trotted up to her then grabbed her in his masculine forelegs. “Twilight… you may be a princess and I may only be a double agent but I know you are the one” he whispered. All of Twilight’s dreams were coming true (No pun intended). “I love you too” Twilight whispered back and began to close her eyes as she leaned forwards to passionately kiss with James Pony when suddenly she felt a poking at her face. “Twilight… Twilight” said a vaguely familiar voice. She pulled back and looked at James Pony only to realize that his face now resembled Spike’s face. She gasped in shock but then felt her world fade away and she began to wake up * * * Twilight finally awoke to see Spike sitting across from her in a chair with a somewhat worried look on his face. Twilight noticed that she had a rather protruding wing erection that throbbed noticeably, that and some drool that had soaked her pillow. Twilight coughed to herself to take Spike’s attention away from her wing-boner then quickly shuffled her wings down. “Uhm…Morning Spike. Something wrong?” she asked and Spike let out a deep sigh. “Okay…I’ll take that as a yes. I should have asked what’s wrong?” Twilight asked. “You bought junk food…and lots of it” Spike replied and Twilight raised an eyebrow. Spike motioned for her to follow him so she did. Once in the kitchen Spike opened the cupboards and fridge to reveal all she had bought. Twilight gasped in shock as she vaguely remembered shopping this morning but it was mostly a blur. She let out a depressed sigh. “Sorry Spike… I wasn’t thinking straight and was pretty tired” Twilight informed him and he raised an eyebrow. “Well I was shopping at four in the morning. I bet you’d be tired too” Twilight told her young purple dragon. “And how much sleep had you gotten before you went shopping?” Spike asked but Twilight let out a defeated sigh as her response. “I’ll take that as slim to none” Spike told her in a disappointed tone. “I’m sorry Spike… It’s just that…I was arrested and” Twilight began but Spike gasped in shock at the information. “You were arrested!? For what!?” he exclaimed but Twilight giggled. “Oh Spike, not in real life. In Goldenpony. They arrested me and were about to execute me but then I broke out of captivity” Twilight informed him and Spike let out a relieved sigh. Twilight looked over to the clock to see that it was 12:35, about noon. “Wow…I really slept in” Twilight muttered and Spike rolled his eyes from the comment. Twilight let out a sigh. “Well I know it sounds bad but I really gotta see what happens next…so uh help yourself to the treats” Twilight told her dragon then proceeded to the living room to play N64. Spike shook his head in disappointment but then came to the conclusion that this whole videogame thing probably wouldn’t last very long and Twilight would soon be back to her regular self. Twilight started the N64 and began the next mission in the campaign. “Holy cow!” Twilight gasped and Spike rushed over to her in shock, with a butter tart stuffed in his mouth…well actually two. “What’s….mpghh…wrong Twilight?” Spike asked through a mouthful of pastries. Twilight pointed to the screen. She was on the city streets of Stalliongrad driving a T-72 battle tank. Spike’s jaw dropped as Twilight began driving through the town, causing absolute havoc. She’d run over countless cars while making sure not to hit the pedestrians. Russians tried to make road blocks but Twilight would simply blow through them, killing the Russian ponies in the process and horrifically crushing their bodies beneath the tank with a blood curdling CRUNCH. “Aww yeah, no-pony can’t beat James” Twilight cheered in sheer victory. Spike rolled his eyes and walked away from the gaming princess then began to eat more pastries as Twilight continued to play Goldenpony. Twilight blew through the streets, shooting several road blocks with the tank cannon before proceeding. She finally reached the end of the level within the time limit and an ending cinematic of James trotting away from the tank as a Jeep exploded played. Twilight continued on into the next mission. * * * 3:35pm, Ponyville library: “Come on…Come on…Come on…ARRRRG” Twilight yelled, gaining the attention of Spike who rushed over. “Twilight is something wrong?” Spike asked but in a more casual tone, knowing that it would have something to do with Goldenpony. Twilight was moving James through some long strips of walkways that were so high above the ground that you couldn’t see the bottom. “Yeah…every time I try to kill Alec he runs away again while saying some cheesy one liner like ‘From the cradle to the grave, your grave James’” Twilight said in a snooty stallion’s voice that sort of made her sound like prince Blueblood. Spike scrunched his nose. “Uhm…well I’m not much for killing games but uhh…try shooting him in the head” Spike suggested and Twilight sighed. “I have…several times and he just keeps going like it didn’t faze him” Twilight replied. Twilight shot Alec in the face again then another blurb came up. ‘You never give up do you? Pathetic really’ then another ‘Finish the job James – if you can’. Twilight gritted her teeth in anger as she began to chase down Alec again but this time she couldn’t find him. Janus commandos constantly spawned and she’d have to kill them but no matter where she looked she couldn’t find Alec. She searched all the spots that he usually waited at but he was nowhere to be found. Twilight cursed to herself and as she began to gallop along the lower level she saw a small stairwell that led to a small room. She entered the room but as she did Alec lept out of a small hole in the floor and fell down below as the speech blurb read ‘I was always better James’. Twilight rushed over to the hole and immediately figured that Alec had lept to his death in an attempt to evade her wrath. She smiled to herself but then wondered how in all of Equestria she was supposed to complete the mission. She began to traverse around the entire map, figuring maybe she was supposed to go back to the beginning again or something. After about ten minutes she realized that there was a small platform underneath the small room where Alec was waiting. Twilight face-hoofed in utter disappointment then quickly rushed over and fell down the hole, making sure to land on the platform. Twilight spun her character around just as Alec was about to shoot her and blasted him with her twin ZMGs, which she had taken from a Janus operative that she had killed earlier. Alec was propelled back and fell off the platform. A little blurb played reading ‘For Equestria, James?’ then a second one from James read ‘No. For me’. Then a little ending cinematic played with Alec falling to his death and James watching. Another little cinematic played with Natalya flying a chopper close to the platform and James leaping over and grabbing the landing skids then them both flying off. Then came a little scene with Natalya and James both in a forest. ‘James, are you alright?’ Natalya asked and James grabbed a hold of her in his forelegs. ‘Yes I’m fine, thank you’ James replied as he leaned towards her and began to make out with her. Twilight let out a pouty face. James was her fantasy, well at least since she started playing this game anyway. This scene made her a little disappointed and sad. ‘Ohh James’ Natalya’s blurb read as they both continued to make out. Twilight tried to skip the scene but found she couldn’t, no matter what button she pressed. Twilight turned off the power button with her horn. That ending had ruined her fantasy for the time being but Twilight’s thoughts were soon cut off as she heard a knock on the door. ‘I wonder who that could be’ Twilight mused to herself as she trotted over to the door and opened it. Waiting at the door was all her close friends. Twilight raised an eyebrow. “Hi girls… what’s going on?” Twilight asked. Pinkie Pie bounced forwards erratically. “Oh silly, did you forget that you’re having a party?” Pinkie asked in her usual bubbly voice. Twilight let out a look of confusion. “Uhm…I’m having a party?” Twilight asked and Pinkie nodded her head. “Since when?” Twilight asked and Pinkie slapped herself in the head. “Well… since this morning at the grocery store when you said you were having a party” Pinkie informed her lavender coloured alicorn friend. Twilight let out a groan as she tried to remember the vague morning. Then she finally remembered mumbling to Pinkie that she’d have a party but later in the afternoon. Twilight looked back to the clock to realize it was almost four in the afternoon. Twilight chuckled to herself. ‘Well I got nothing better to do, and I did say I would have a party and I’m not about to go back on my word’ Twilight thought to herself. She nodded, “Alright, let’s party” Twilight said with a smile.
