//------------------------------// // Chapter Three: Big Eyes // Story: Memories // by Bullet25 //------------------------------// I was a bit harsh on her back then. She was only trying to help. Christ even though she came by every day I didn’t talk to her for a week after that. You continue scrolling through the texts. 12/03/2014 2:53pm I know you guys probably are never going to see this but I’m going to keep sending these texts anyway. I just got my phone repowered theres so much I want to tell you guys. Message not sent! Tap to try again. 12/03/2014 2:55pm I’ll just start with right now. Well I’m okay. I’m on some other planet or in some other dimension or something, I don’t really know. Either way it doesn’t look like I’m making it home. Message not sent! Tap to try again. It took me a month and a half to accept that fact. You think to yourself after reading the text. “Look on the bright side,” Twilight said. “At least you’ll be out of the hospital in about a week.” “Are you sure Applejack is okay with me staying at her place? I don’t want to impose, even though I don’t have anywhere to go.” Twilight waves the question off, “Yeah, it’s fine. She has plenty of space. If I had the room I'd've offered.” “I’d just hate for her to be doing this because of your mast-” Your are cut off mid sentence by a knock on the door. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything,” a voice says. “Discord knock it off,” Twilight says. There is a snap and suddenly a miss-match of creatures put into one is standing in the middle of the room. What in the hell is that. You think to yourself. “Is this the human?” he loudly whispers to you. “I think you whispered to the wrong person,” you respond. He looks at you for a second, blinks, then turns to Twilight. “Ah, yes. Twilight, is this th-” “Yes, Discord, this is the human,” Twilight responds while rolling her eyes. “Quite, hmmm. Oh where are my manners? I’m Discord,” he bows. “And what might your name be?” Before you even have a chance to answer he interrupts. “No wait, don’t tell me. Umm, Open Smiles? No, Candy Hair? Na, Two Legs? Oh wait I got it, Twilight Sparkle… Now where have I heard that name before?” “Is he always like this?” you ask Twilight. “Pretty much. Just go with it.” “Of course, thats her name,” Discord points at Twilight. “Pist, Twilight, did you know you and this human have the same name?” “Discord his name isn’t Twilight Sparkle, it’s-” “No, I’ll get it. Maybe something less pony-ish. Ice Cream? Na, thats a food. Maybe. You know what, I’m just going to call you Sir Big Eyes the Third.” “Discord! You can’t just rename him.” “Why not? Just look at him.” Discord snaps his fingers again and appears on the other side of your hospital bed. He lifts your head up and holds your eyes open wide. “Just look at how big these things are!” “Can you please let go of me?” “Oh, sorry.” Discord lets go of your head and reappears in the middle of the room. “Whatever, If he wants to call me Sir Big Eyes the Third he can. It’s no sillier than some of the other names I’ve heard in the past month.” “Thats the spirit, Big Eyes,” Discord says, appearing behind you again and patting you on the back. “You know I shared a hotel room with a human before. Dreadful night. Only one bed and he kept shedding his skin everywhere.” “We don’t shed,” you deadpanned. “Really,” he responded, stroking his chin. “What did I spend the night with then?” “Look Twilight said you are going to help me get home.” “Oh yes, yes, yes, that.” This time Discord actually walked to the around the bed back to the center of the room. When he didn’t continue speaking you decided to ask, “Well? Can you help me?” “Do you know how to teleport?” “No,” you deadpanned again. “Well then I’m afraid you’re stuck here. Unless you learn to teleport you can’t get home.” At the time you would have done anything to get back home. Now though, you don’t think you’d change it for anything in the world.
