//------------------------------// // The arrival // Story: What are the odds? // by HikariToYami //------------------------------// "so you came back, well thank you! What will happend now? well i'm not gonna hold you, heres the story." “Where the heck am I?” I say loudly as I wake up. Ok… what is this place? I do not remember there being a forest this large at home, so I have probably traveled a long way. But how did I get here and who was that man? He seemed so mysterious, well anyway I need to get out of here. I wish Alex could be here “sigh”. Let’s see, which way do I go from here? I know! East! I think, well I am not really good at directions so let’s walk that way “walks towards west”. After walking for about ten minutes or so I hear something “CRASH”. What was that? I start walking towards the sound but when I get there I only see a big hole in the ground. Huh? That is weird, wonder where the thing went. “Hello? Is anyone there?” I yell loudly. “What are you?” I hear someone say behind me, it sounded like a raspy girl voice. I turn around to see. NO!? It cannot be… Rainbow Dash? “I’m a human” I say back to her still very confused to all this but I manage to stay from squeal like a girl for the fact that in front of me there is a live Rainbow Dash. I CANT BELIEVE THIS!!! Is this a dream? It better not be. “So you can talk?” she says back looking very unsure about the whole thing. “Well yes, my name is David, but you can call me Dave, all my friends does.” I say still trying to stay from squealing. “I don’t want to hurt you, if that’s what you are thinking.” “Well… I’m Rainbow Dash (already knew that) and I’m a pony (duh) and the fastest pony in all of Equestria (I wondered what happened to the ego). But you don’t look like anything I have ever seen before” she says getting a little more comfortable around me. “I don’t think I’m from around here then, because I just woke up about 20 minutes ago and all I can remember before that is a bar fight at home, I got knocked out and woke up here”. I hope she will believe me. “Ok… that is weird” tell me about it. “Wait a minute, you have wings? (herp derp)” like a douche. “Of course I have wings, I am a Pegasus after all” I love this already. “Ok… are there unicorn also then or what?” I ask already knowing the answer. “Yes and also Earth ponies but they don’t have any Wings or horn” I knew she would say that. “Well the thing is that, where I come from Unicorns and Pegasi are only myths and “Earth ponies” are not sentient they are somewhat like pets. They are somewhat useful at least but not anymore since my species has developed technology to do everything for them, Kind of a shame if you ask me.” Unnecessary facts for the win. “That’s horrible! Then who controls the weather?” I knew she would say that. “Well, the weather is self-controlled so to speak and does its thing without our help” We really need to get out of here. “That’s just creepy” “Well, let’s get out of here. Do you know the way out?” probably not. “Well I know Fluttershy’s house is to the east of the Everfree forest, just which way is east? I flew west when I got here so maybe its that way “she points towards the way I came” shall we go?” Fuck me, I went the wrong way. “Ok, let’s go then.” Then we start to walk back to where I came in this dark and godforsaken forest. “What is wrong with your eyes anyway they are two different colors?”Oh god I knew this would happen. “I have a syndrome known as heterochromia which make my eyes two different colors. “Wow… that’s really weird” UGH. “I have grown too live with it” WHY? “Okay that’s good.” finally done? After about 15 minutes I break the silence. “Are you sure your ok because that leg looks bad” why didn’t I notice that before, what is wrong with me? “Its fine really, I am used to it by now” oh NO you are not fine. “Are you sure, because I can carry you if don’t feel uncomfortable with that?” Hope she says yes. “I’m not sure I trust you just yet” she says as I feel my hand connecting with her flank “SMACK” oh shit, what just happened? “What the hay did you just do that for?” “I’m so so sorry. Ever since the bar fight I’ve had these sudden movements in my body that I can’t control. I’m really sorry for what just happened. It’s just that I can’t control my body and that really stinks” yeah what is up with that? It all started with that mug in the bar. “Riight… I’m not sure if I can believe that but I will give you another chance because I’m just that nice” Oh god I need to make up for this. “Is there any way I can make up for this?” please be kind, I don’t want to die. Not when I finally got to Equestria. She then hits me in the leg without notice. “You could just let me hit you ten times as hard as I can whenever I want to or let me hit you 20 times right now.” Oh god, i already know what to choose i'm not an idiot. “Just get it over with, and hit me 20 times” I think this was a bad idea. “Okay then” “SMACK” ouch “SMACK” that hurts. “That kind of hurts” why did I say that.”SMACK” ouch. “That is kind of the point “SMACK” numbskull” I feel molested “SMACK” I’m already getting used to this “SMACK” it still hurts as hell though. “Only 14 left” I say jokingly “SMACK” god why did I agree to this. “SMACK” “12” She says with a sadistic smile on her face. “Anyway, what is that mark on your flank anyway” “SMACK” I kind of deserve that one. “SMACK” “You don’t know? It’s a cutie mark and signifies what a pony is good at; mine means speed (with emphasis on the speed).”SMACK” you get your cutie mark when you uncover your special talent. “SMACK” “That’s interesting to say the least” I need to play dumb at least for now and I love it. “SMACK” seven left. “SMACK””SMACK””SMACK” “You know your alright, but I still don’t trust you” come on this is getting annoying with all the no trust thing “SMACK”. “Sigh” “you should know by now that if I wanted to hurt you I would have done that already” “SMACK” two more left. “Maybe you are right, but that doesn’t mean I trust you” “SMACK” oh god my leg is sore. “I think it would be I good idea if I carry you the rest of the way since your wing and leg are still hurt and you need to rest” I hope my leg makes this. “SMACK” “are you sure, with that leg you are almost unable to walk by yourself” FINALLY MY LEG GETS RECOGNITION. “I will be fine” no I won’t. “Well then let’s get to it” she says as she jumps on my back and surprisingly only weighs about 60 kilos. Still a lot but I can manage. She leans her head against my shoulder tries to sleep (SQUEAL) and manages after about 30 minutes (oh my god I am carrying RD on my back, LIFE COMPLETE) and I continue walking straight forward for what seems like hours until I hear something. A voice humming the theme song to MLP FiM, wait is that who I think it is? "Well i think you already know who that is. The thing is that i hate these first chapters but they need to be done, since i have really good ideas for the future but i just need to get there. :D"
