//------------------------------// // Chapter 10 // Story: "My little Dashie" Sequel // by Roker999 //------------------------------// *authors note* this is still from the dad's POV. I never actually knew much about the Apple family. I didn't expect them to be so...family-like. In fact, they remind me of my own parents. They're so nice, even to strangers like me. I still don't know why I'm a male replica of my own daughter...It's so strange...Actually, the possibility of me being here at all is strange. I want to find out more about that pegasus who sent me here....Who he is (or was), what he's doing on earth. Right now I have to rest, regain my strength. This new body is such a pain in the...flank... I think I actually passed out in front of Applejack and her...siblings, because I came to in a soft, canopy bed with a red and white checkered blanket. I looked around the room. Boy, this place sure looks familiar, even for me. It seems like I've seen this room somewhere...Of course! This is Applejack's bedroom! But where's Applejack? I looked around once more, hoping to see someone (or in this case, somepony). Nopony was around at the moment. I picked my hoofed arm and scratched my rough, horse like rainbow hair . I can move! I can move my body! I tried to pull the blankets off my stubborn butt, but that didn't work too well... Oh that's right, I have hooves instead of hands. I'm such genius. Great. This new body will take some getting used to... I tried squirming out from under the heavy covers, but to no avail. I haven't tried using my wings yet. Maybe I can somehow...launch these blankets off my body...Christ, I'm getting some crazy ideas. I don't even know if that will work. In fact, I don't even know how to move my wings! They are quite big compared to my daughter's...I guess it has something to do with me being a stallion, or something like that. I tried moving my left wing, but all I got out of my efforts was a small, painful twitch. Ugh...How am I supposed to do this? Maybe I can ask Applejack! Crap, more insane ideas...I forgot... she's an earth pony. Damn it! How am I supposed to get out of here...? I feel helpless!! *Clip clop*. I think I'm on the second floor, because I can hear somepony going up the stairs...To my bedroom... I tried to hide under the heavy, colorful blankets. I sure was a sorry sight: A big, strong, male pegasus, who can't move his own wings, or even get out of bed... The door creaked open halfway, and a small head popped into the room. It was Apple Bloom "Uhm...Mr...Sir... uhhh...whut's 'yer name again?" I couldn't help but laugh under my breath! She looked so funny, and not to mention cute, looking straight at me with a "I'm-so-embarrassed-right-now-because-I-don't-know-you're-name" look on her face. "Just...Just call me Mr. Dash...I guess" Said I, still struggling to get out of bed. "Um...Mr.Dash you said? You mean...like Rainbow Dash?" said Apple Bloom, still staring at me. "I guess so...Wait, you know Rainbow Dash?" I said "Of course 'ah do! Everypony knows Rainbow Dash!" squealed Apple Bloom "Ah' heard from my big sis that she isn't in her right mind...Sis told me not to worry, that Twi' will fix her up!" FIX HER UP? Oh god! That means Twilight Sparkle will erase her old memories...Her memories of me... But that ALSO means she still remembers me! her Daddy! Crap...I forgot that I'm a horse. What if I get mistaken for Dashie's real father? "Listen, Apple Bloom, does Rainbow Dash have any parents, or any guardians?" I said "You know mah' name? That's so innerestin'! I've never seen you before..." said Apple Bloom, a little excited. To be honest, I sort of expect everpony I meet from now on to get a little excited... "That's great...So, Do you know if Rainbow Dash has any parents...?" I said, STILL trying to get out of bed. "'Ah' don't think she does.... Sis said she was adopted by a flight school, or something like that. By the way, you look a lot like her! Are you related to her!" said Apple Bloom with an even more excited voice. Oh great, this is exactly what I was afraid of.... "Uhm...Yeah...About that...I don't re-" I was interrupted by a firm, female voice, coming from downstairs: "Apple Bloom! Where are ya'?" "Oh no, oh no, oh no!! That's Applejack, my big sister! If she finds out ah'm up here, ah'll get in trouble!" squealed Apple Bloom. "Don't worry, I know you're sister quite well. She wouldn't do THAT..." I said, trying to stay calm "Ah-ah thought you're new around here! How do you know mah' sister?" said Apple Bloom. "Well...It's hard to expla-" I barely finished my sentence, when Applejack bolted into the room. "Apple Bloom! What did 'ah tell 'ya about botherin' our guest?" yelled Applejack at the top of her voice. "Oh...It's quite all right Applejack" I said awkwardly. I can't believe I'm talking to a Applejack! That feeling...That feeling of brony excitement suddenly came over me, again... Applejack smiled and said with a soft, soothing voice. "How do 'ya know 'mah name, stranger?" "Well...I was about to tell your sister..." I said. "Please go on" Said Applejack, while shoving Apple Bloom out of the room with her hind leg. She then turned to Apple Bloom and whispered: "Apple Bloom, get our guest some breakfast!" "His name is Mr. Dash!" said Apple Bloom through her teeth. She then turned away from her sister and trotted down the hallway. Crap! What do I tell Applejack? That I used to be a human? That I was sent here from another dimension by a deranged pegasus? That I know almost everything about her and her friends because i watched a TV show made for little girls? Decisions...Decisions....
