//------------------------------// // Chapter 9.5: The Morning After // Story: My Little Deadpool: Friendship is Deadpool // by LightTechnology //------------------------------// Deadpool looked around the reader’s computer screen. “Ah, I remember this site. As always, the artwork in the banner is top-notch. Heh, I suppose 5 months can pass by just like that, right guys?” .... “Guys? Hello? Anyone?” ... “GUYS?!” ... “WHERE IS EVERYBOD-” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight woke up with a yawn as a new day began. She got up from her bed and gradually stretched herself awake. As Twilight regained her senses, she looked around the room to see that Princess Celestia was still in her abnormal form. Sadly the events that occurred yesterday were not a dream, as she had hoped. Well this was certainly not the time to dwell on the past, Twilight thought to herself as she proceeded to walk down to the lobby. As she went down, she noticed Deadpool was sitting in the dining area, already having breakfast. “Ah, good morning Dea-uh-Rainbow Dash,” Twilight greeted. However, there was no response from the merc turned pony. In fact, Twilight noticed he seemed rather fixated on his food more than anything. His whole body was shaking, and she could’ve sworn she heard him whimpering. “Hey, uh, Rainbow Dash? Are you okay?” Twilight finally asked. There was a long pause of silence before Deadpool finally whispered, “Please don’t call me by that name...” “Come again?” Twilight did a double-take. “I’m supposed to be Deadpool, but I’m in Rainbow Dash’s body...” “Uh...huh, that’s what happened last night, Deadpool,” Twilight said worriedly. Deadpool slowly picked up his coffee cup, trembling all the while. His arm didn’t stop shaking from when he took a sip to when he put it back down. Twilight became uncomfortable and slowly leaned in towards the nervous pony. “Deadpool, seriously, is everything okay?” Deadpool was about to open his mouth before somepony walked in and interrupted the two. “Excuse me miss, but would you care for anything?” the pony said. Twilight looked and noticed that the pony looked similar to Twice Nightly, and she looked down to see that the pony had a stack of pancakes for a Cutie Mark. “Ah,” Twilight put two-and-two together. “Are you by any chance the day manager?” The pony smiled at Twilight, “Twice Brightly at your service, ma’m! I’m sure you’ve met my twin, Nightly.” “Yeah, me and Rainbow Dash got well acquainted with her, right Rainbow?” Twilight tapped Deadpool on the shoulder. “NO I DIDN’T!!!” Deadpool suddenly stood up and accidently spilled his coffee all over himself. “AAAAAAAAH!” Twilight winced. “Ooh, that’s gotta hurt.” Twice Brightly quickly grabbed some napkins. “Here, let me wipe that off for you.” It was at that point Deadpool saw the day manager try to wipe off the coffee that was currently all over his body. He quickly back-flipped over to the empty table behind him. “STAY AWAY YOU HORSE-FLAVORED TEMPTRESS!” “Was it something I said?” Twice Brightly asked. “Rainbow Dash!” Twilight yelled. “She was just trying to help!” “Your mother’s trying to help your FACE!” Deadpool yelled back. “You shall NOT touch this body of mine of which I am currently in of which doesn’t even belong to me ANY LONGER!” Twice Brightly slowly turned to Twilight. “Is...Is she alright?” Twilight looked away nervously. “Um, she just had a bad dream last night, is all.” But before the day manager could respond to her, Twilight quickly grabbed Deadpool and ran outside of the inn. “Deadpool! What in Celestia’s name is going on with you?!” Twilight demanded. “Twiliiiiiiight!” Deadpool cried. “I....I...I...I...I...I...” “Deadpool, in the last 20 hours of which I’ve known you, I can easily conclude that your personality is considerably more...”eccentric” than the average pony. However, I noticed that back there, your personality shifted to a 50% increase in eccentric-ness for some reason. Now tell me, what is the reason for this inconsistency?” Deadpool paused and stared at Twilight dumbfoundedly. Twilight sighed. “What. Happened. Last. Night?” Deadpool’s eyes began to water once more. “I...I...I...I...I...I...” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “YOU WHAT?!” Twilight screamed at the top of her lungs, not even caring if there were any ponies in the area that could hear her. “I swear to you, Twilight, I don’t even know what happened or how it did!” Deadpool frantically tried to explain. “It was like I was in some sort of trance and I had no control over my body!” “Surely you would’ve had at least SOME control to stop yourself from....from...," she turned away in disgust. “UGH I can’t even say it! You’re sick!” “I know!” Deadpool cried out. “I’m a disgrace as a human being! NO ONE SHOULD EVER WANT TO EXPERIENCE WHAT I DID!” Twilight facehoofed. “If there was any other 'human’ that would desire to share your experiences, I would seriously lose faith in your species in its entirety.” Deadpool sniffled. “You said it, Twilight.”
