//------------------------------// // I'm Still Here (Song) // Story: The Loot of the Thousand Worlds // by IceDragonKing //------------------------------// Chapter 7 I'm Still Here (Song) One hour later, on the Deck... "Well... what a funny day. Meet a new friend like... that idiot robot!" said Rainbow Dash. "Idiot robot! Idiot robot!" said Rupa as he's transform himself into an idiotic mini version Joining 4226. "A little more hideous..." said Rainbow Dash. "GAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAAA!" laughed Rupa as he's making himself look more uglier in form of mini Joining 4226. "That almost look like..." said Rainbow Dash. "AHAHAHAHAHAAAA! So... how was your work? One hour passed, everything are still seem to be normal," said Jacala as he's creep up on the deck with a tray of foods that the crew had left after ate along with other junks in the kitchen and he's pour them down into the space. "Umm... for what you did back there... umm... thanks..." said Rainbow Dash and Jacala turns to look back at the pony girl with a little sad on her face. "Don't your parents ever taught you about who you should pick to fight with?" asked Jacala and Rainbow Dash is still remain silence. "Your parents don't like do teaching thing, don't they?" asked Jacala. "No... they are just... a little to busy to take care of their own daughter," said Rainbow Dash. "Ooh..." whispered Jacala as he's creeping to be nearby her. Then, he's got an idea in his head of how to keep her away from his plan. "Well as that you wanted to work with me. Then it is my responsibility to teach you of how to survive at here!" said Jacala. "Wait! What did-" asked Rainbow Dash. "After this time, I will never let you out of my sight!" said Jacala. "You can't-" said Rainbow Dash. "No matter that you're going to eat, sleep or brush your mane! You will have to wait for me to say!" said Jacala. "I'm just be here to make sure that if the Wonderbolts heard about me doing this. They may wanted me to join them!" said Rainbow Dash. "Then you can guarantee on me! With my teach, you shall be welcome to join those Wonderbolts!" said Jacala and he's give her an evil smile. Next day, at the Under of the Ship... "Faster! If you want to be a Wonderbolt like you told me yesterday!" said Jacala as Rainbow Dash is cut a Shipworm out from the under of the Ship. Then she looks to her right side, she see a lot of the Shipworms to get rid off. This is a very boring work to her. Few hours later, she and Jacala come back into the kitchen and peeling the skins of potatoes. In Rainbow Dash's head, a song starts to play and she began to to sing in her head. "I am a question to the world, not an answer to be heard Or a moment that's held in your arms And what do you think you'd ever say I won't listen anyway You don't know me And I'll never be what you want me to be. (Rainbow Dash is thinking back to the time when she is with her parents in Cloudsdale to the day she had met Fluttershy.) And what do you think you'd understand I'm a girl, no, I'm a mare You can't take me And throw me away And how can you learn what's never shown Yeah, you stand here on your own They don't know me' Cause I'm not here (Jacala is teaching Rainbow Dash about how to made the rope like he do. Surprise to him, she can do before he will finish his own rope.) And I want a moment to be real Want to touch things I don't feel Wanna hold on and feel I belong And how can the world want me to change They're the ones that stay the same They don't know me Cause I'm not here (Rainbow Dash is sitting in the kitchen after just finished her work. Then, Jacala creeps in with more dishes and pots for her to wash. Rainbow Dash looking at him with furious eyes and quickly grab a pot to wash. Later at night, Jacala's come back and see all dishes are clean he's take off his black coat and cover it on her exhaust body. Rainbow Dash wakes up for a little and saw tail of Jacala is at the ruler.) And you see the things they never see All you wanted I could be Now you know me And I'm not afraid And I want to tell you who I am Can you help me be a mare They can't break me As long as I know who I am (Rainbow Dash's helping Jacala to get one of the Ship's boat down from the ropes so they can go out for a ride. When they finally did it. Jacala jumps on the Ship alone and give Rainbow Dash a wave of goodbye and "sail" away in the space alone.) And I want a moment to be real Wanna touch things I don't feel Wanna hold on, and feel I belong And how can the world want me to change They're the ones that stay the same They can't see me But I'm still here (Rainbow Dash is thinking back to the day that she decided to leave her parents behind and start a new life in Ponyville with her friend, Fluttershy. Unbeknownst to her, her parents are crying from behind for being the not good enough parents for her.) They can't tell me who to be' Cause I'm not what they see Yeah, the world is still sleepin' while I keep on dreaming for me And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe (Jacala returns in sight of Rainbow Dash and beckon his cyborg hand of him to her to come and join him on the ride. Rainbow Dash jumps in and Jacala telling her about how to drive the Ship's boat. Rainbow Dash's looking around at the gears and think it's not different from flying with her own wings. So she's quickly set things up, grab the lever and pull it to the full speed. Jacala didn't prepare for this and go a little shock from what just happen.) And I want a moment to be real Want to touch things I don't feel Wanna hold on, and feel I belong And how can you say I'll never change They're the ones that stay the same I'm the one now 'Cause I'm still here (Rainbow Dash saw a meteorite nearby and quickly ride the Ship's boat into the "tail" of the meteorite. She's ride very swing one, Jacala scares about to fall out but then Rainbow Dash drive out from tail of the meteorite and "sailing" go into the space for a little while. They both are laughing after have a lot fun with each other.) I'm the one 'Cause I'm still here I'm still here I'm still here I'm still here." The song ends.
