//------------------------------// // Say What? // Story: Making the Best of It // by Dark Lightning //------------------------------// Chapter 16: Say What? So everypony…long time no see huh? Well let’s just roll with it already. “WHAT?!?!” Rarity staring at me with her mouths a gap and her eyes wide as saucers. I tried to just not get outta there and fly under a rock and hide for good long years, BUT I told myself I was going to do this and help Rarity, AND DAMMIT I WILL! “I do believe you heard me Rarity, hehehe……..SO, what do you say huh?” “Well……I…I don’t know what to say actually. This is all so sudden, I….I don’t know what to say.” Rarity started to pace around the room, her eyes still visibly puffy from crying in the past few minutes, hours maybe? Her mane was frazzled up and had split ends, and she was wearing a pink nightgown I believe. “Well……you don’t have to think and we could go to the Hearts and Hooves Dance-Before I could finish, I was levitated off the ground and had levitated me in front of her face. “DID YOU SAY THE HEARTS AND HOOVES DANCE?!?!?!” Rarity had her eyes were wide, and red as those of a madmare. (IN RARITYS HEAD) He wants to take me to the Hearts and Hooves Dance? Well this is PERFECT! They shall see Dark, notice that I wasn’t lying, look elegant at the Dance, friends become jealous, I wouldn’t look like a wreck, AND I would have a colt-friend! *squeal* *Looks over to Dark* and he sure does look suitable for me, alright I’ll shall do it! “Well Dark, since you asked so politely AND since you are a friend I shall agree to this. Meet me back here at about sundown and we shall go. Ta-ta for now Dark.” “Um, alright then Rarity.” As I was leaving I could have sworn that I heard a squeal coming from inside….meh whatever. “Hmm…..I’m kinda hungry, where the hell is that place where Cyan works? AH, there it is.” “WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!?!?!” (IN SUGERCUBE CORNER….WHERE WE LAST SAW OUR IDIOTS……Thunder placed his hoof on Phoenix’s shoulder….why? WELL…….) A crazy smile formed on Thunder as 100 volts of electricity ran through his hoof and into Phoenix’s body. Phoenix’s body started jerking (hah jerking) uncontrollably and started foaming in his mouth (Muzzle?) Twilight and Pinkie were both staring at the convulsing on the floor with their mouths hung open. Cyan and Shadow were both staring at Thunder as if he was a being from another world. Thunder was standing in front of the convulsing Phoenix, smiling a smile only describable as twisted. Fluttershy had fainted in seeing her colt-friend in…well THAT! “THUNDER! WHAT IN EQUESTRIA DID YOU DO TO PHOENIX?! AND WHY IS HE CONVULSING??!!” Twilight was seriously pist. Thunder just stood there, smling his flank off at the spazzaming Phoenix. "Heh,heh,heh,heh,heh.........will everypony CALM DOWN! our acting like hes going to die or something. Well don't worry you guys, hes just going to be in a sorta state of shock. He'll be better tommorow morning....JEEZ! So I guess that means that him and Fluttershy won't be able to compete tonight. "Are you serious Thunder, you did this to him JUST TO WIN A DANCE CONTEST?!?! I am seriously, utterly shocked by your actions Thunder,well I believe that if Fluttershy can't compete, the neither shall I!" Thunder only looked at her with a face filled with grimace,anger, and a bit of sadness. "WHAT?!?!?!?! YOU CAN'T DO THAT?!?!?! "I can and I did Thunder. You brought this down on yourself when you did that to Phoenix, now say your sorry." "BUT-WHY? HE FUCKING STARTED IT!!!! WHAT THE- I DON'T EVEN- WHAT- ARGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!" During the whole scene between this, Shadow and Cyan had started to talk (BECAUSE ONLY MARES CHAT!!!)to each other. "So Shadow, I guess that means that you and Pinkie are the only couple that I know of that is still going to compete." "You know it! With my dancing skills, the're ain't NOPONY that can beat u- "Um Shadow? I need to tell you something REALLY IMPORTANT!" "Sure Pinkie what is it?' "WELL, since Twilight and Fluttershy out, I don't really thinkmit would be nice to go and party while Phoenix is in this condition, SO I'm going to Fluttershy's to help her!" Pinkie gave her one of her famous Pinkie Smiles, but Hsadow was at a lost for words.....and his mouth open. "I'm sorry Shadow, its just that Fluttershy needs me......BUT DON'T WORRY I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU LATER!" She winked at him, smiled at him seductively and then kissed him on the cheek and ran to her room. Phoenix had calmed down after that and was then standing next to Twilight who was whispering into his ear. Thunders face went from grouchy, to suprised, to shocked, to well........BOING!......wingboner. "Hah. Dude, is that a-" "NO!" "You sure, cause I ALREADY know that it is dude." "SHUT UP! Twilight tell- Twilight?" Thunder started looking aroung, but only the 3 guys were there. Pinkie, Twilight, Fluttershy, and the "dying?" Phoenix were gone. "WTF? How the hell did they do that? I am NOT cleaning this mess up. AH YEAH!!!! Shifts over, I'm out, PEACE!!!!" Shadow was now staring at Cyan hanging his apron and checking out. "Where you going?" "Nosy Much?" Pretty Much what happened in Shadows Mind: Yeah.....BACK TO STORY!!!!! "Dude, I was just wondering. JEEZ!" "Well whatever, I'm leaving, I'm glad I ain't gonna be here when the cakes see this mess and- HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOIN- Oh hey Dark. "Oh, sorry there bro. Looks like you've made some friends. So who are you two?" "Hey I'm Shadow." "Cool, names Dark Lightning, I'm his older brother, and who are you?" Thunder stopped what he was doing and stared at me for about what could have been a minute or something. What the FUCK is wrong with him? Thunders Mind:[iIts HIM!] "His name is Thunder, Thunder Cloud actually." "Alright then, weirdo." "Well Cyan its been nice seeing you and all, but I need to go find out where Pinkie went." "I....I think I'll go with you....since were not going to the competition we could hang out." "Sure." Shadow and Thunder head out....who knows where? "Dude, your friends are weird, especially that Thunder one." "Heh, yeah. But he DOES so these lightning moves like you do." "Heh...poser." "WELL......I'm heading over to Sweet Apple Acres, promised to watch the Cutie Mark Crusaders." "Cool, I guess I'll join yo- "Um excuse me, but are you Dark Lightning?" "Huh? Oh uh yeah." It was this mailmare pegasus that I saw earlier on my was from Cloudsdale. "Well I have a card for you." She gives me the card and flies off. "Whos it from Dark?" "I have NO idea Cyan, lets check shall we?" As I opened the card, I saw the card being a red letter, with a poem in it. “When I first saw you, my heart did race, Your awesome face stunned me in place. As I saw you, then I knew, That True love, had become true! and even now, as i watch you with the rest, i'll keep you warm and hold you close to my chest Rainbow Dash XOXOXOXOXO P.S: Meet me back at my home one you get this. "Ah Shit.........." "SO.........you and Rainbow together now?" "WHAT NO!!!!!" "Then why you blushing? Hmmmm??" "Shut Up Cyan." "Well I guess I should go see her, the poem was pretty awesome I must say." "Hmmm, well tell me how that plays out,see you later." "Yeah" I then start flying towards Rainbows house......... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "AppleJack? What are you doing here? You never come here unless its an emergency." "A'm sorrah for intruding like this, but wheres Twilight?" "She hasn't come back yet from SugerCube Corner." "SHOOT! Well once you see her, give her this!" "Is that......." "Shush! Anypony else asks where you got it from, you didn't get it from me. I need Twilight to get as much information as she can on this...got it?" Before Spike can answer, AppleJack was already off. Spike had returned to the library right after he's meeting with Dark for a look for a bunck of books on gem hunting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "OH NO GIRLS!!! I just found out that Rarity plans on going out with another stallion, I thought that she would have given up on guys like that when I finished off that other stallion. Better start operation S.I.C.K." "Uh Sweetie Bell, no offense, but don't you think that we messed with Rarity's love life too much already?" "I agree with Scootaloo, she seems way too lonely." "You're missing the point! Once she gets an actual colt-friend, she'll spend less and less time with me..... "Fine, we'll help you, but just this last time!" "YAY!" (20 Minutes Later) "Ohhhh....." "Sweetie Bell! What happened to you!?!?!" "I think I have.....uh......I'm sick." "Well we can't have that now! *Sigh* I guess I'm going to have to cancel that date with Dark......but family comes first!" Rarity then levatated Sweetie Bell over to her room. If she had seen her face, she would have seen her devious smile. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "So Rahssan, Trixie does believe that this was a wonderful Idea." "Of course it was, I came up with it." "Oh is that right now?" "Well yeah!" "Hmmmm......" Trixie then starts leaning on Rahsaan, which caused him to blush....slightly. "Trixie is glad you packed that picnic." "Heh...well its pretty cool hanging out with you." With all this going on, they took turns, following Darks mvements to learn more about him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So Pinkie, since we left the boys back there, where do you want to go?" "Hmmm........LETS GO TO THE SPA!!!!!" "Um....do you really think that we should have left the guys back there?" (Yes Fluttershy has woken up, Phoenix is no longer spazzaming, just unconscious, and now their all in Fluttershy'd cottage, how? Teleporatation.) "Oh don't woory Fluttershy, they just need some time to themselves so they can calm down a bit." "Oh....if you say so...... "NOW COME ON! LETS LEAVE PHOENIX HERE TO REST AND LETS GO AND RELAX!!!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ah, here I am."I just got to Rainbow's home, yet.....nopony's home. Knock,Knock,Knock,Knock "He-LLO? Yeah fuck this." When I entered, nopony was home. "Where is she? If she wanted to meet m- AHHH!!!!" "Heh, sorry for sneaking up on you like that. You scream like a filly you know that?" "Heh....shut up. SO, I got your letter *shows letter*, and I do have to say, its pretty good.'' I guess she enjoyed the compliment since she blushes.....HARD!!! "Heh.....but Dash....I just think of you as a friend, nothing more." "But.....but......" "Hey, don't beat yourself about this, its not that I don't like you, your just not my type...." "Oh.....*sniffles*.....well, atleast have a cupcake from the kitchen table." "Sure. Mmm, this is actually pretty delicious, but how come theres, only one? Don't you wnt one?" "No.....I'm good." As I was chewing, Dash's frown started turning into a smile, that was getting wider and wider by the second. "Why are you so happy all of the sudd- woah........uh, what was in.....that cupcake? My stomach hurts.....and my head aches....but I'm, so tired........what did you put in that cupca-uhhhhh." Next thing I know, I was on the floor, the left-over of the cupcake dropped on the floor, and Dash laughing like a maniac. I was slipping in and out of consciousness, Dash was jumpng up and down in the air, celebrating. After about a few more seconds, I passed out, last thing I heard was Dash saying," Yes.....IT WORKED! HE'S MINE NOW! And then everything went black. YES!!!!!! I OVERCAME A LOT OF STUFF TO PUBLISH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well whatever, so this is published.....FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!! Well with that out of the way, I guess I'll just get out of here and let you comment or whatever you do. SEE YA BITCHES!!!!!!
