//------------------------------// // Chapter 9 (the adventure begins) // Story: "My little Dashie" Sequel // by Roker999 //------------------------------// *ATTENTION*: This is from the Dad's POV (Some people were confused!) I opened my eyes. Where am I? What just happened? Oh...Right...I remember now. That pegasus did something. He performed some kind of magical ritual. He said he would...Ugh...Send me somewhere. If he did, why do I still feel grass under me? Am I still on my front lawn? It can't be. My front lawn was always soft. It was always green. I'm lying on some sort of dry, crispy grass. Besides, the ground is way too hard! I realized something. Was I lying on a hard wood floor? I didn't really care, much. I was dead tired, and my body seemed to be a hundred times heavier (to me at least). Ugh...why is my body so heavy? God damn it! I can barely move... My hands? Where are my hands? I lifted my head a bit higher to examine my surroundings. Am I in a barn? How did I get in a barn...? There aren't any farms around my house... I tried to get up, but I couldn't. Whenever I tried to get up, my body would just flop back down to the floor. Where in the world did my legs go? I was so busy examining the room, or barn, that I forgot how unusually awkward my body felt. If only there were a way to know what the heck happened to me, and where I was. I heard a faint "clip clop" as the morning light gushed into the barn. I couldn't see who, or what, was opening the barn door. "Big sis! There's a stallion in our barn!" Said a soft, sweet voice. Where have I heard that voice before? It seemed so familiar! Wait a second...did she just say there was a stallion in " the" barn? aren't I the only one here? I guess not. I still cant move my stubborn body. Why in the name of God is it so heavy? This is getting a tad annoying... "Apple Bloom, we don't have time for games! Just get your little flank over here right now and help me with 'dese apples!" snorted another voice, with, it seemed, a light, Texan accent. "But sis! I'm not lying! A stallion is really in our barn!" squeaked the little girl (at least I thought it was a little girl). I heard a loud clank, as if someone just heaved something heavy onto the ground. I still couldn't see what was going on, because I was facing the damned wall! "Well, slap me with a moldy apple and color me flabbergasted! H-how did he...?" said the "Texan" woman. "I don' know!" squealed the little girl. "Ah' just came to get some morning hay for Daisy Joe, and he was just lyin' here!" "W-well, we'd b-better call Big Macintosh. I-I think he might know what's going on!" said the Woman, with a shaky voice. Big Macintosh...Big Macintosh...where have I heard that name before? I remember hearing it on TV...Something like that... Oh God...I think I know where I am...Am I in sweet apple acres? It can't be! This can't be happening! How is this possible?! I remember the pegasus telling me he would send me somewhere.. Where I could see my daughter again... I didn't expect that he would send me to Equestria! That stubborn mule! He could have at least TOLD me he was going to send me here. Who knows... At least I'm here! That's all that matters! The woman with the Texan accent must be Applejack, and that little girl must be...Apple Bloom, obviously... That still doesn't explain why I can barely move, God damn it! What that pegasus said...He said something might happen to me. So...What happened to me? My thoughts were interrupted by a sudden "Eeyup". "Do you know what he's doing here?" Said, apparently, Applejack. 'Nnope!" Replied...Big Macintosh...I think "Then who is he and what is he doing here?!" Wailed Applejack. "Ah' dunno" said Big Macintosh, with a confused voice. Wait second... That stallion they're talking about...could that be me? Did I turn into a God damned horse?? That explains why I can't move my body...I heard that horses weigh a lot. Like, 500lbs or something like that "Is he 'gunna be okay?" whispered Apple Bloom "Now you calm down, sugar cube. We don't even know who he is, or what he's doing here." Said Applejack I've had enough! I must get up! I must get out of here and see my daughter! I started struggling, trying to stand up. That's when I noticed the pair of wings firmly attached to my sides. I also noticed that my feet and my hands were gone, and in their place were four hooves. My skin was pale. It looked cyan...just like my daughter's. A tail! Oh God, I have a tail! I just recovered from the shock of....everything, when I noticed that my tail was...RAINBOW COLORED? The only thing that calmed me down was that I didn't have a "Cutie mark" on my ass...That would be so gay...Speaking of gay, how would you feel if you saw a male horse with rainbow hair? Yeah...I thought so. I wonder why I don't have a cutie mark...Is it because I haven't discovered my "special" talent yet? After all my struggling, I finally managed to get up. At last! Now...I can *FLOOMP*. I barely finished thinking when I fell flat on my face. At least I managed to turn around! "Hahahaha!" neighed Apple Bloom. "Apple Bloom! mind yer' manners!" yelled Applejack. I looked up. There they were, Applejack, Apple Bloom, Big Macintosh, all standing under the barn door with the warm sunlight falling on their backs. I started slowly dragging myself towards them (I don't really know why) . Remember, I still weighed five times my normal weight. "W-what month is it?" I mumbled. They all simultaneously backed away, and that signature piece of grass fell out of Big Mac's mouth. Why are they all scared of me? Is it because I look like my daughter? I guess that kind of makes sense...Actually, it doesn't. Nothing about this makes any sense at all! "S-s-sept-t-temb-ber" Said Applejack, still scared. I looked down at the old, wooden floor. "H-how is that possible? September was over half a year ago..." I mumbled under my breath. Wait a minute...If one day in Equestria is one year in our world...That means that only half a day has passed since they took Dash away! I wonder if she'll remember me? Even if she does, she probably won't believe that I'm her father...Heck, I probably look like her real dad! If she still has her old memories, she'll probably think I'm her "real" dad! Oh god...How will I prove to her that I'm "Daddy"? Her not-so-human anymore Daddy? "Oh my! He doesn't look so good!" said Apple Bloom, "We should help this poor feller'! How about it, sis?" "I dunno" replied Applejack. "I-I guess we could..."
