Chapter 18. Cheerilee, I Really Hate Portals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matt rolled his eyes as her watched as Applejack and Rainbow Dash stare each other down as they were covered in bee's.
"And she wants me to remain out of danger." Matt thought as he watched the two.
"I'm not gonna move. You move." Rainbow Dash said.
"Uh-uh. There is no way I'm movin'." Applejack said.
"This is the most daring dare anypony ever dared dare another pony to dare!" Pinkie said from a table.
They all looked at her "Huh?" They said.
"It's exciting!" She said waving her hoofs into the air.
"Uh, whatcha'll doing?" A stallion in a bee suit asked.
Pinkie got closed to the stallion "Rainbow Dash and Applejack are competing for the title of "Most Daring Pony"! This is the final test: the Bee Stare! Last pony to blink wins!"
He just stared at the three "I'm gonna need my bees back."
"But then we'll never find out who the Most Daring Pony is!" Rainbow said.
"Eh, sorry about that." He said as he whistled and the bees flew off the two.
"Trained bee's to come to a whistle... Gotta learn that." Matt said looking back at his girlfriend.
"Well, what do we do now?" Applejack asked removing her bee hat.
"Don't worry, ladies, I've been keeping excellent score all day!" She said walking over towards the table as she looked over he notes "Hmm, move the decimal, carry the 2, and," She looked at the two and smiled "Congratulations! You're tied!"
"Tied?" Applejack said.
"You can't be tied for the Most Daring Pony!" Rainbow Dash said as the two glared at her.
"I dunno! Numbers don't lie!" She said as Matt looked at the paper and scratched his head.
"I think she missed a number somewhere down the line." He thought as he looked back at Pinkie.
"I'd love to stay and keep keeping score, but I promised to help test the new school bell. I get to ring it all week, nonstop! And I don't even have to take turns, because no one else volunteered!" She said giggling as she bounced down the path way.
"I would love to stay and watch you two do... Whatever it is you're doing but I'm going to head into town." He said.
"Why?" Applejack asked.
"I'm going to go see Cheerilee." He said "I'll be back later."
"Why do you need to go see her?" Rainbow Dash asked as she removed her bee hat.
"A long story." He said as he placed a kiss Applejack's cheek "I'll be back soon."
"Don't ya get into any trouble."
"Same to you."
He walked down the path Pinkie Pie had jumped as he heard Rainbow Dash "Okay, no problem. We just have to come up with another daring dare." Matt rolled his eyes.
"Something tells me I should stay far away from this dare." He thought as he walked down the path.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matt made his way into town as he saw Pinkie Pie up in the school's bell tower... And he scratched his head as he tried to figure out why Pinkie Pie was inside the bell ringing it.
"Okay, Pinkie! That's good." Cheerilee said.
Pinkie stepped out from under the bell and looked down "Are you sure? I can ring this bell all week!" She said cheerful.
"No Pinkie, I just needed you to just ring it a few times." She said.
Pinkie frowned as she notice Matt staring at them "Oh! Hey Matt! Did you come by to see me ring the bell!?" She asked.
Matt notice Cheerilee frozen as Matt looked to see anger and sadness washed over her face as she stared into his eyes "H-Hey." He said not knowing what to say.
"Hey!? That's all you can say!?" She yelled. Her eyes burning with fire as Matt slowly backed up with Her moving closer and closer towards him "You've been alive this whole time and never once sent me a letter!?"
"I-I can explain... B-But you need to calm down." Matt said as he backed into a wall and knew he was trapped.
She stopped right in front of him and stared "You have five seconds to explain."
"It will take longer the-" Cheerilee cut him off "Four seconds."
"I never died, I was sent through time to two different time period... As I said, it’s a long story." Matt said noticing the confused look on her face "If you have time... We can go get coffee."
She shook her head "Alright, Coffee."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took Matt a long time to explain to her everything that happened.
She blinked as she stared at him "S-So... You’re a human who's trapped in a pony body and to top it off your fighting a force that wishes to destroy the world... I-It's kind of hard to believe that, But I trust you."
"I know, I wouldn't believe it myself if I wasn't living it." He said chuckling.
"It's good to know you aren't dead... I guess Cindy is going to get a kick knowing your alive." She said chuckling "This time you won't have to worry about her hitting on you, She's married and has two wonderful kids."
"Good to know, Don't need Applejack freaking out."
"It's really good to see you again." She said with a smile.
"It's good to see you again too, at least this time you get to know more about me." He said.
"Yeah, maybe you'll be around for the Equestria games."
"Yeah, unless I'm thrown back in time again." He said chuckling.
-------------------------------The Next Day-----------------------------------------
Matt walked through the halls of the old castle as he helped the six ponies fix up the old castle.
"Looking good, everypony! Let's keep this magical makeover moving!" Twilight said as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy took a cloth away.
"Good old Spike is here, ready to do his part!" He said.
Matt placed a painting on the wall as Pinkie Pie came by scrubbing the floors "A little more to the left!" Applejack turned the painting "No, the other left!" She said quickly as she went by, Applejack turned it "Awesome! That's perfect right where it is! On to the next painting!" She said going by.
"You sure you don't need any help?" Spike asked walking up towards the two.
"Nah, That's okay." Applejack said as Pinkie was sliding across the walls.
"We have everything under control!" Pinkie said.
"Hey Matt, Why don't ya go get the other picture's from the wagon." Applejack said.
"On it!" He said taking off towards the exit.
"I can't believe Matt painted these." Dash said looking at the picture's Applejack hung on the walls.
"Ya should have seen the gift he made me for our first date." Applejack said hanging another picture onto the wall "He rebuilt Ponyville and even painted my farm from just from the stories I've told him." She said as she looked back at her friend.
"I think we should all take a break? I'm for one could use some tea and biscuits." Rarity said.
"That sounds like a good Idea." Twilight said, that’s when Twilight noticed somepony missing "Wonder where Spike ran off too."
Matt placed the paintings down "Let's go find Spike so we can have our tea and biscuits." Rarity said.
The group made their way through the hall's as they began their search for Spike.
"Spike! Where are ya, Spike?" Applejack called out.
"We're breaking for tea and biscuits!" Rarity called out.
"Spike!" Dash called out as they made their way towards the library.
They walked towards the opening and they saw a light shining from it making them all look in shock "Spike! What are you—" Spike was being sucked into the book and was calling for help.
Twilight quickly rushed over and tried to pull him out but got stuck as she was being sucked in as well, Dash quickly rushed over and pulled Twilight out but she too was being sucked in Applejack grabbed Dash's tail as she tried to pull her but she began to be sucked in as well, Matt quickly rushed over as he wrapped his hoof's around her waist as she tried to use his wing's to pull them out, Fluttershy quickly rushed over and bit down on Matt's tail as she tried to help pull them out, Rarity quickly rushed over and tried to pull but sadly they were being sucked in and in one split second Pinkie jumped into the book and giggled as they were all sucked into the book.
"I really hate portals." Was the last thought that went through Matt's mind as he was being sucked into the book.
