Chapter edited! (Level: Minor)
Jordan just sat on the patio, thinking about the events that had happened over the course of the week. 'Ok, so first i find Twilight in that alleyway that I dared to enter, she rescues me, I offer her a place to stay, she reads nearly half my books in 1/100 the time I would be able to, she brings Pinkie Pie, my friend comes over without warning, and now I need to come up with an explanation. Dang this is so much to take in.' Jordan picked through his thoughts. He was so caught up in thought however that he did not see Twilight coming out to the patio with a slightly more sad Pinkie Pie.
"Jordan, are you okay?" Twilight asked. Jordan just looked at her, and then the phone rang.
Jordan went back inside, not responding to Twilight. He made his way to his answering machine, and picked up the phone. On the other end was his parent's lawyer, Marcus Herolds.
"Jordan, I have some bad news." Marcus told Jordan with disdain. "The cruise liner your parents were on...has capsized in the Caribbean." This news made Jordan gasp. He then asked Marcus "are they ok?"
Silence. It went quiet for a good 15 seconds when Marcus finally replied.
"Your parents were pulled from the water and taken to a hospital in New York, but your father did not make it."
This made Jordan feel like he was hit by a truck. Jordan stayed quiet for a moment, as Twilight and Pinkie trotted back inside. They saw Jordan with growing sadness. Jordan told Marcus "thank you for letting...me...know...." then hung up the phone, sat on the couch, and just cried. Tears rolled down his face at the thought he would never see his father again. Twilight and Pinkie rushed over to him.
"Oh my gosh, what's wrong?" Twilight said with worry. Jordan then sat up, and hugged Twilight, tears still flowing. After about 2 minutes of hugging, Jordan let go, and told her what happened.
"M-m-my...f-father...is...." Jordan couldn't bear to say the entire sentence, but Twilight knew what he was going to say, and pulled him back into a hug. Twilight started to tear up too. Pinkie eventually joined in the hug. He was lucky to have these two with him in this difficult time.
In the guest room...
Jake started to wake up. "Ugh, what a weird and cool dream," he stated to no one in particular. He got up from the bed, and proceeded to the door. "I must have asked Jordan if I could sleep over here." He walked down the hall, and heard Jordan crying. Jake ran down the hall, nearly tripped, and recuperated in time to make it out to the living room. He peered around the corner, and saw Jordan on the couch, hugging Twilight and Pinkie Pie.
'They...are real,' he thought. Then he remembered the matter at hand, but realized he shouldn't approach them with his current outfit, so he ran back to the guest room. Pulling out one of the dresser drawers, he pulled out some of Jordan's clothes, changed, and ran back.
Back to the living room...
Jordan held Twilight and Pinkie for what felt like hours. He felt comforted knowing that he had someone to hold in his sadness. They held each other until they heard footsteps from the hall. They let go of each other. and turned toward the source of the steps. It was Jake.
"Jordan, what's wrong?" he asked his friend. Jordan told him what happened, having the same difficulty as before, cutting his sentence short and crying into the couch cushion. Jake already knew what he was going to say. He walked up to his friend in need, and sat next to him.
"Hey hey, it's ok Jordan, you'll get through this. I know you will." Jake tried to reassure his down friend. Jordan just looked at him sadly. He then got up and walked to the bathroom to wash up.
Jake then turned toward the two ponies that were in front of the couch. He looked at them with a down expression. He then worked up the nerve to ask them, "so...your names are?"
Twilight and Pinkie looked at him. Twilight then responded with "I don't think now is the best time for introductions." Twilight told Jake. He then nodded his head. "Right," he replied. He then turned toward where Jordan had gone, and sighed. "I've never seen him this sad before." He sat on the couch, and set his head in his hands.
Pinkie then said, "I guess this means no party?" Twilight turned to pinkie with disappointment, and was about to say something, when Jake intervened. "Pinkie, we can still give him a party, just let him have his moment. When he calms down, we can have his party you set up."
Pinkie smiled, but then Twilight got suspicious. "Wait a second, how did you know her name?" This made Jake mentally facepalm. He thought he blew his cover, but Jordan walked back out. "Ok. Pinkie, you went into my room? What was that about, and why is the door locked? And Jake, why on Earth are you wearing my clothes?" He said, obviously still saddened at what happened.
Jake was about to answer his last question, when Pinkie rapidly explained the questions asked to her. "Yes, I was in there but it's a surprise!" Pinkie said with glee, but then looked at Jordan's expression. She immediately stopped, a bit of a frown on her face.
Jake then explained himself. "Well, can I tell you in private?" Jordan just gave a look, but then remembered Jakes outfit when he arrived, which he was fortunate that Twilight and Pinkie didn't see the designs on the shirt and hat. "Umm...ok." They then started to walk toward the hallway, and in fromt of Jordan's bedroom.
In the living room...
Pinkie was starting to get a bit bored. She wanted to go back into Jordan's room, but she didn't want Jordan and Jake to see her, so she asked Twilight to get them in.
"He Twi', Do you think you could teleport us into Jordan's room, I want to make sure everything's ready." Twilight just glared at Pinkie's question. But eventually she agreed. Her horn glowed, and in a flash, they were in Jordan's room. Pinkie got to work examining the party setup.
"Ok...balloons, check. Sarsaparilla, check. Piñata, check. Pin the tail on the pony, check. Party guests..." Pinkie went wide eyed and started to panic at that last item on the checklist. "OhmygosahTwilightIforgotaboutthepartyguests! Ican'tbelieveididn't..." Pinkie continued to ramble. The only thing Twilight didn't like to see more than Jordan being sad was Pinkie talking nonstop about party guests. She held her ears, but could not even muffle Pinkie's voice.She finally silences Pinkie by covering her muzzle with her hoof.
"Pinkie, if I bring the others here, will you please stop talking about them not being here?" Twilight said in an agitated tone of voice. Pinkie's response was muffled, so Twilight took her hoof away. Pinkie pie said "okay." Twilight's horn glowed, and in a flash, a cyan Pegasus rockets straight into a wall. Three other ponies stand in the middle of the room. They all looked around, taking in what just happened. They all turnd to Twilight.
"What the hay Twilight? I was in the middle of a stunt!" Rainbow Dash scolded Twilight.
"This ain't funny Twi', what are all of us doin' here?" Applejack questioned Twilight.
"Umm...I'd like to know too...if it's not a problem," Fluttershy said shyly.
"Darling, I was in the middle of an important design." Rarity whined.
Twilight responded to all of their reactions. "Look, I accidentally came here and this nice fellow took me in and took care of me while I-" Twilight was cut off by Rainbow Dash.
"So THIS is where you've been?" She asked sternly.
"This room seems rather decorated. Pinkie Pie, did you set up a party?" Rarity questioned to Pinkie.
"Yes I did Rarity. This man is nice and he deserves a party." Pinkie replied.
"Well I guess this is why you used your magic to bring us here?" Applejack directed toward Twilight.
"Yes, otherwise Pinkie would not stop complaining about there not being any guests at the party she made." Twilight responded.
"umm...Twilight, who is this "nice man"?" Fluttershy asked Twilight.
"Oh, his name is Jordan, and when he found me, he got attacked, and I saved him." Twilight responded, proudly.
"Well, we shouldn't keep them waiting any longer!" Pinkie Pie objected into their conversations. "Party guests, check!"
Outside the room...
"Jordan, I am wearing this because I don't want them to know I know about them. If they find out that I know them, I'll tell them that YOU know them too, and based on what I've read in other fanfictions, it would only lead to trouble." Jake told him.
"Other fanfictions?" Jordan responded quizzically.
"Oh never mind. The point is, I didn't want to wear my Rainbow Dash shirt and "Party with Pinkie" cap for that exact reason." Jake pointed out. Jordan leaned on the door, and heard it unlock that exact moment. "Umm, Jake, my door is unlocked now. We can talk more in my room." Jordan said. He opened the door, and when they stepped in, the room was pitch black. He closes the door, and they walk forward. Jake was the first to break the silence. "Jordan, why is it so dark?"
Jordan then realized his huge mistake in talking location. "Uh oh," He said, "Jake, back up slowly..." They quietly walked back to the door, but the lights suddenly flicked on, and the two bronies were blinded momentarily. Their vision cleared, and what they saw in front of them stunned them.
They saw the Mane 6 in the center of Jordan's room.
