//------------------------------// // Episode 25: Following The Danger Prone Ponies. (Part 3) // Story: The Life of a Wanted Changeling (Comment Driven Story) // by Down with Chrysalis //------------------------------// Stay with the group! They (obviously) need all the help they can get. *Grumbles incoherent mild profanities about going on adventurers while under-prepared* Follow the ponies. Follow mane six. Follow the ponies. The other path could lead Luna-knows-where knowing that these pones are impossibly danger prone, (although the boulder may have been loosened from testing its sturdiness) if there is anything you learned from 'dark woes 2' (how the hay is a game THAT hard?) its that danger and traps are around any mountain area ever FACT and that the world,luck, and fate trys to make your life suck as much as possible. (as evidenced by past events) so you decide to follow the main 6 and not take the "short cut" that's obviously gonna send you hurling down a bottomless pit. You decide that sticking with the girls would be the best course of action. You think of how they probably need your help considering how danger prone Applejack and the yellow pegasus is. If they are that danger prone, I wonder how danger prone the rest of the girls are? You think to yourself in confusion. You also want to follow them and not the short-cut, because Luna knows where it could lead. that and the fact that if you learned anything from 'Dark Woes 2' (you still haven't figured out a game can be that hard)! Its that danger and traps are always around a mountain. There's also the fact that, for some cruel reason, the world,luck, and fate always try's to make your life suck as much as possible. So for all you know, that 'short-cut' could lead to a hungry hydra or a bottomless pit. So with that in mind, you begin to follow the ponies up the mountain. 18 MINUTES LATER For eighteen minutes you've been following the mares up the mountain, and NOTHING HAS STINKING HAPPENED YET! You haven't been this bored since karaoke night at the hive. You love karaoke, it's one of your favorite hobby's, but it was so boring because your ex-queen was the only one allowed to sing. To make matters worse she sung 'This Day Aria' over and over again, she sung it so many times that you practically memorized the song. Anyway, you look over to the mares from your hiding spot, another tree, to see that they are heading over to a tiny cliff. Literately tiny, you swear you could just walk over it and you would be fine. The group stops at the edge of the tiny cliff, and Rainbow is the first one to jump over it...a foot away from the cliff! Showoff you think to yourself in an annoyed tone, you see you don't like showoffs at all you down right hate them (remember that for later *hint hint*). You hear a growl come from be hide you and you look over to see a chipmunk giving you the stink-eye. "What do you want?" You ask in a confused yet angry tone. Your still annoyed about Rainbow showing off. The chipmunk gives you another growl before it jumps you! One cartoon fight scene later and we see you looking like you just fought a timber wolf. *moan* You didn't know chipmunks bites could hurt so munch. You look over to the group after your *ahem* 'fight' with the chipmunk, to see that all the mares have crossed over the cliff...all of them except the yellow pegasus. Before you can do anything to help the scared pegasus, you see Pinkie jump back and froth between the cliff sides while...singing? "Why is she singing about jumping from a cliff?" You ask yourself in confusion. But, it looks like the yellow pegasus might actually jump over the cliff. You smile a little bit at that and think Come mare you can do it, face your fear. She looks like she might actually do! Good mare, now as long as she doesn't look do"AHHHHHHHH" LUNA DRAT SHE LOOKED DOWN! She's frozen in fear by the looks of it, and she looks like shes gonna fall! Thinking quickly, you use your magic to lift her up and place her on the other side of the cliff with her friends. Before you can pat yourself on the back for a good save, you realized that you just used magic AND THAT YOU PROBABLY JUST BLEW YOUR COVER! You are about to panic over this, when you look over to the group to see...that they are still going up the mountain? Your confused as to why they didn't try and figure out who help the yellow pegasus, but you decide to worry about that after this mission (you like the sound of that to be honest) is over with. With that thought in mind you continue to quietly follow the group. 29 MINUTES LATER twenty-nine minutes later we see you hiding in a tree (again) as the group of mares walking on a steep cliff side path. You guess it's an avalanche zone, because the group is talking in whispers so you can't hear a word they are saying. You try to hear what they are saying by walking across the branch your on, only to cause a couple of leaves to fall off the tree. You stare in silent horror as you see one of the leaves fall onto the yellow pegasus flank. "AVVVVAAALLLLAAAANNNNCCCHHHHHEEEE!!!!" Applejack quickly covers the yellow pegasus mouth and you wait for the incoming rock slide. But, nothing happens, you and the group of mares sigh in relief only for rocks to suddenly start to fall on you and the mares. The mares start to scream in psnic and they begin to dodge the falling rocks. You also start to dodge the falling rocks, not caring if you get caught, when you see the yellow pegasus frozen in fear as a giant rock starts to fall right on top of her. Time seems to slow down as you see the hopelessness in her eyes, and you do something unthinkable...you jump towards her. You manege to push her out of the way and she looks at you in shock. You just smile at and you close your eyes, accepting your fate. ... ... ... *SQUISH* 31 MINUTES LATER You wake up. You look around surprised to see that you are still alive. In fact your in a completely different place then you were before. "I must have automatically teleported to as safe place before that rock could squish me...hahahhahah I'M ALIVE YESSSSS HAAAHAH I'M ALIVE!!!!" You yell to yourself in happiness. That is until the red rock in front of you opens its eyes and growls at you. ... ... ... "Mother."
