The Ballad of the Bobby

Chapter two


Princess Luna looked through her telescope to see an odd looking creature appear in the middle of the Canterlot main street. She was surprised to say the least as she peered at the thing lying on its stomach with its limbs splayed around it.

“Celly, Come here please.” She called.

There was a flash of yellow light beside Princess Luna. “What is it dearest sister?” Princess Celestia asked with a slight air of sarcasm in her voice.

“Look there,” She extended a hoof to the creature she had spotted not moments ago. “What is it?” Princess Luna Inquired.

“Oh, goody he’s here!” Princess Celestia giggled.

“WHAT is here?” Princess Luna inquired again.

“Why, that’s the human I was talking about earlier, of course!” She spoke as though that was all she ever talked about and that her companion should know exactly what was going on.

Luna did not follow, but she did know what humans were; evil, violent; greedy, and violent. “Why is there a HUMAN in our capitol City!?” Luna might have been angry if she wasn’t confused as to WHY a human was even here because the last time she had checked, they lived in an entirely different universe.

“Because I brought him here,” Celestia stated matter-of-factly.

“Why?”

“I already told you, you should have been listening.”

Luna hadn’t the slightest recollection of Celestia ever explaining any reason to bring a human to a peaceful Equestria. Luna sighed and decided not to question further for now and just go with it. She didn’t really care anymore to tell the truth.

“Go rest my sister for I shall Guard the Day,” Celestia said to her sister.

Luna looked at the clock tower and realized that it was her bedtime and promptly stepped away from the telescope and walked inside. “Whatever you do with the human, don’t hunt anypony,” she called as she went inside.

Celestia was a little more than a bit perplexed; she had teleported the human to her throne room where she was and saw that he was not very healthy looking; he had ingested an unhealthy amount of alcohol, of which he had no tolerance of anyway. So she decided to teleport the two of them to the hospital, She arrived but the human did not. Luckily he showed up where he wouldn’t get hurt or lost. Celestia deduced that humans had a strange resistance to magic.

She raised the sun and them teleported down to the streets of Canterlot and picked the human up with her magic and set him on her back. She then flew to the Canterlot hospital and entered through the front doors.

“Oh, uh hi princess. Uh what can I do for you today?” the brown coated receptionist asked who slightly surprised to see royalty just walking into the lobby with a strange looking creature atop her back.

“May I get someone to take the human please,” Celestia asked.

“Y-yes princess,” the receptionist hesitantly clopped her hooves together twice and a few moments later two unicorn doctors came out and took the human with their magic and placed him on a gurney meant for large Griffons, which was still slightly too small.

“He needs his stomach pumped… yes I believe that would be best,” Celestia said. In truth she didn’t know how much alcohol he had drank or how poisonous alcohol was to humans but its better safe than sorry. She watched as the human was wheeled off into another hallway and then left.

Meanwhile: In Ponyville

ainbow Dash was super exited. Today was the day that the Apple family sold their famous apple cider. The only reason she would ever be up so early was if there were Wonderbolts try-outs at 6:00 am or if it meant getting the first round of Apple family cider. She was brimming with excitement and anticipation as she shot out of bed to get some of that delicious cider. She raced across town towards the farm. Her devious grin splayed across her face as she rocketed towards Sweet Apple Acres. She made out apple trees in the distance and flew faster.

She noticed that there wasn’t even a line this year. She could have exploded with anticipation, like a little kid at an amusement park. What she didn’t see was Derpy Hooves, who was on her mail route earlier than usual, until it was almost too late. Rainbow Dash quickly veered to the left to avoid Derpy but clipped her wing instead. Dash, who was travelling at breakneck speeds, couldn’t move her wing for about a half second. It was enough time for her to crash into the ground really hard. She blacked out on impact with her wings bent in directions that they shouldn’t be bent and her body cut and bruised.

“Oh man. That looks bad. I-I think I’m gonna be sick!”
