//------------------------------// // [4] Into the Wood // Story: A day as Dashie // by Cool writer //------------------------------// Mikel was flying above the forest. He wasn't sure which one, the poster map showed about 3 around Ponyville. But, unfortunately, one was the Everfree Forest. But the bright side was in season 1, the characters overstated the dangerousness of the forest. From what is seen, the Everfree is actually quite lame. Mikel kept flying. (PSST! He's over Everfree!) "GAH! My wing!" Mikel said as his wings cramped up, he fell down into the forest below. He hit the ground, rolling dazed. He slammed, headfirst, into a tree. Mikel lay there, sprawled out on the ground dazed. He was there for who knows how long. When the muddy, hurt, and utterly lost, Mikel was able to wake up. Once he stood up, he looked around. It was evening. He was completely lost. "I gotta get out of here." He said to himself. He unfurled his wings and flapped them. He was stopped by the sheer, unrelenting, pain. It felt like... having a broken arm. It even hurt to curl them back up. After resting for a bit, waiting out the agony, he got up. "Ok... so I can find north by... polaras!" Mikel said excitedly as he found the star he was looking for. "Ok, At least I know what direction I'm facing. But, I don't even know what that is in relation to ponyville. Or even what way to go!" Mikel put a hoof on his face, "I never thought I would die lost in a forest, trapped in Rainbow Dash's body. Oh well, there Is only ONE WAY to pick which way to go!" Mikel picked up a stick, and spun it in the dirt. Hey don't judge! You'de do the same thing. "Ok, South West it is!" Mikel said, satisfied with his results. Mikel began to walk south-east, hoping to get back to town. "I'll be back there in no time!" 3, hours later... (in that voice from sponge bob) "GROWL!" Mikel's stomach growled loudly, as he sat around his makeshift camp. He put a log around a pit he dug, (with HOOVES!) with a lit fire in it. "Shut up." Mikel said, punching his gut. Bad move. "OW! Stupid hooves." he grumbled. CRACK! the sound of something big walking nearby could be heard. SNAP! It came closer. Mikel stood up and slowly backed away. 'Greate, just greate!' He thought angrily. 'Come on! Give me a freaking break!' Suddenly, from the bushes, burst Twilight! "THERE YOU ARE!" She said. "I've been looking for you forever! Where have you been!" Twilight stopped when Mikel knelt down at her hooves, and started kissing them. "THANK YOU! (kiss) Thank you thank you! (kiss kiss)" Mikel kissed her. "I thought I was gonna DIE out here!" Twilight had a HUGE grin on her face. I don't think I can describe how big it was. (Wait, is that physically possible?) "Well... you will if you don't tell me." Twilight smirked. Mikel's muzzel dropped open. "But... you'de let me DIE! Are you kidding? Please tell me you're kidding." Mikel said, desperate and scared. "You are joking... right?" Twilight's... (really? I can't believe that!) growing grin, told Mikel that she wasn't kidding. She could easly teleport back to town, and leave him stranded. But, the real seller, was that: no matter how big (how impossible big) her grin was, it was still cool and calm, it said "I'm in control and I know it." Mikel, eyes bulging: "Come on... you gotta help me!" He said, growing more desperate by the second. "Tell me." Twilight said. Her horn began to glow, with its purple pink aura. Mikel almost had a heart attack when he thought he saw her fade a little. "ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!" Mikel said, cracking. "I'll tell you!" Twilight's horn stopped. "Good." She said, calm and cool as can be. Her horn started gloweing again, and aimed it at Mikel. Mikel literally started to black out. The flash faded, revealing... something only seen when on hallucinogenic drugs. Imagin Discord was using his chaos magic, only he got super drunk, and played the "Ponyville, fair drinking game" before he started. If you don't know, the Ponyville fair drinking game, is when you look over all of MLP FIM, and take one shot for every town-wide event that is only existent for one episode. So yeah, it was super weird. I'm actually losing my sanity thinking about it. So he was in "What the F&^%" land for... a period of time... before he woke up in the hospital. He had a Doctor and the rest of the mane 6 around him. "She'll be fine, You got her here just in time though. This is the hard stuff." Rainbow looked around the bed. Her entire left leg was numb. "She's in rough shape. A star spider bite AND 2 broken wings! If Twilight hadn't found her, she'd be... well... you know..." The Doctor (Put your whovian merch away...) said. Mikel tried to say something, but was too tired. "She'll be fine in a few weeks. Your healing spell will really speed up the process." The Doctor (I HATE THIS GUY! Y does he torment me with not having a name?!? ) Mikel, then slipped out of consciousness. As he was slipping though, he heard a laugh, a familiar laugh. It reminded him of the Enterprise and star trek for some reason.
