//------------------------------// // YAY! I get a job! // Story: What are the odds? // by HikariToYami //------------------------------// "So this one I kind of like, there are some weird moments but they are there for a reason and I still love them. TO THE CHAPTER!" God that really hurt, what in the world was it that hit me? And why can’t I move? ‘Dave, you got hit in the head by a sword HILT, so you were very lucky that the pointy end did not hit you.’ I ALMOST DIED? Wow I have never felt this happy before. ‘I’m happy that you’re not dead because then there would be no one for me to annoy.’ Well if I died then you would too. ‘Or would I?’ You would since you are my brain. ‘YEAH…Right.’ Wait who is that. “Iron Forge, why did you do that? YOU ALMOST KILLED HIM!” Wait a minute is that Twilight? “He is really nice and would never hurt anypony so why did you throw that sword at him?” Thanks Twi. “What did you expect me to do when I see a “moster” walking behind you? I wanted to help you because it looked evil.” Could you at least just call me a he? ‘You know he is a huge douche.’ Yeah you are right; he did throw a sword at me. I will try to open my eyes now… Oh look Twilight and who seems to be Iron Forge, he looks kind of normal with a Light gray coat, a black mustache and Black hair and tail with grey spots and his cutie mark seems to be an anvil, which makes sense I guess. Ok let’s try to say something. “Hello?” That was a very weak voice, I feel ashamed now. ‘Ashamed? You should feel HUMILIATED you depressive fuck.’ You know what? ‘No.’ You too. ‘That was just bad.’ … “Oh god, Dave how are you feeling? Are you ok?” She is so friendly. “Yeah I am sorry for that I kind of thought you were a monster that was about to attack lovely Twilight here.” Lovely? I think he has a crush on our nerdy friend. ‘Nah he just wants to get her in bed with him.’ I think he is nicer than that. ‘Probably not.’ “I’m fine and it’s fine I would probably have the same actually, so no hard feelings.” He seems ok. “Thanks, it means a lot to me that you don’t mind and I am really sorry for what I did” No worries man. ‘WTF-BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!” What the fuck was that? ‘That’s just my awesome skills.’ … “Thank Celestia you are ok, I was worried about you for there.” Well I’m back! ‘In hell.’ No actually I’m in Equestria. ‘…’ “Why did you come here anyway?” To annoy you? No actually I just wanted to kick you in the face. ‘I think you should kick his private parts.’ I would never do that. That is just too evil. ‘No, I’m too evil.’ “Well Twilight here said you were a blacksmith and well I have a somewhat good skill at it, since my father was a blacksmith and with time I got better than he, so I wanted to ask you if I could get a job.” Hopefully it pays well. ‘You know he will try to screw you over right?’ I don’t think he will. “Well that is the least I could do, welcome to your new job! You pay will be about 75 bits for an hour.  Is that ok for you?” I need to ask Twilight about this. “Twilight is that good?” Why does she look so surprised? “That is a REALLY good salary, the usual salary for a normal pony depending what his job is about 50 bits for an hour so you have a good salary there.” Oh really? That is good to know. ‘In the bed.’ What? Why? I don’t know you anymore. ‘Well it’s not really like you can ignore me or something.’ … “Ok then, I will take the job.” I then make a very sincere smile. ‘And you look very CRAZY, you know the CLOCK IS TICKING.’ What does that have to do with anything? ‘Your mom?’ Low blow man. “I am happy to have you.” It’s kind of hard to see his expression with that mustache but it looks like he is smiling. “Can I make a request to make something?” I Hope he says yes. “And what would that be?” Something cool. “It is just something that is sentimental to me since it was the first real project in blacksmithing that I was really proud of.” ‘Oh wait what are you going to make?’ You don’t know? Huh you should since you are my brain but I think you will know what it is once I make it. ‘I can’t wait to see this.' “Sure, but how long would this take?” “A few hours actually, since I have gotten better at making this kind of stuff. The first time I made it took about two days but now I could probably do it in four hours.” I then smile. “Oh but I don’t think you have the materials since it’s made out of something called Moonstone (I know that is not real but I like the name so I will go with it) or do you have some?” Probably not. “I know what material you are talking about and no I don’t have any but there is a horrible place you can get it.” Adventure time in the future here we go! ‘Please don’t tell me it’s where I think it is?’ What do you mean by that? ‘It’s none of your business. I just hope it’s not where I think.’ “Well I have to go there sometime in the future then and get some of that stuff. What is so horrible about that place anyway?” Monsters? “Well there are some weird creatures known as Diamond Dogs that live near it but that is not the dangerous part, since the cave is inhabited by an awful mist that if inhaled for long enough you will get mutations. It is not a pretty sight, I knew somepony who went in the once for half an hour and he came back out with EIGHT legs so yeah that is not a good place and let’s not forget about the snakes that live of the stuff but they are kind of small but they can be a real pain.” ‘Oh shit! Dave whatever you do don’t go there!’ Why not? ‘I can’t tell you.’ Then I will still go. ‘fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck, he is gonna be so mad at me.’ Who is gonna be mad? ‘The other part.’ Other part what? ‘Oh nothing.’ You know you were just freaking the fuck out right? ‘That was nothing.’ RIIGHT! “Ok I will definitely try to look out for that, but could I still just make a normal sword? Since I always like to have one at hand because I want to feel safe and with a sword I always feel safe.” I then smile as calmly as I can. “I don’t really see the problem with that, and at the same time I can see your craftsmanship, so you can just get going right now.” Really? That’s good now I won’t feel unprotected anymore, YAY. ‘If you feel unprotected just use a condom.’ “Well I will let you two get to know each other then because I better get going.” Twilight? I almost forgot she was even here. ‘You are such an oblivious person.’ Thanks for the compliment. ‘Compliment? Wait what?’ Yes I said thanks for it. ‘…Ok then.’ “Yeah, see you later Twilight!” She then starts trotting of and we head inside. “Oh I never got your name, I’m Iron Forge by the way.” We never introduced? “And I am Dave! Nice to meet you!” He really is a good guy at heart. ‘Unlike you! You are a downright evil man.’ Ok? ... “Well I think you should start with that sword then and I will continue with what I was doing.” And you aren’t going to tell me? Ok then. ‘He is just like me and wants to annoy you.’ “Ok then let’s get started then.” Three hours later. “IRON FORGE! I AM FINISHED.” I am really contempt with this one. ‘It looks like a…’ NO IT DOES NOT. “BE RIGHT THERE!!!” He then walks through the door. “You know that looks like a…” “Please not you too.” “What? I was just gonna say it looked like a great sword. What did you think I said…OH that.” I hate you so much brain. ‘But I love you!’ “Mhm thanks for the compliment, all this new equipment is, well, new to me so I did a half good job in my opinion.” “You call that half good? That is one of the best swords I have ever seen, only one man I know has made a finer sword with that material, you must be a natural.” Really? I am that good? That is good to know. ‘He is just saying that to be nice he actually hates it.’ Yeah right… “You really think it looks that good?” I then pick up the sword and place it on the table before me. “That is a masterpiece.” “Thank you, I really appreciate it. I will just take it with me then and get out of your hooves. Oh and by the way when do I start?” “You start next Monday and that is in four days.” “Four days? That is a good time to get to know everypony better. Well I better let you get back to work then. Bye Iron!” “Oh please call me Forge.” Will do. “All right then Forge, see ya later!” I then wave to him and start walking out of the door. “Goodbye Dave it was nice to see you! See you on Monday then.” Ok let’s go back to Twilights then. ‘But I never got to meet Pinkie.’ Well neither did I but I will probably get to talk more to her at the party. When is that party anyway? ‘Celestia fucking damnit, please don’t tell me its tomorrow.’ What is so bad with tomorrow? And besides I think she will throw it when Rarity gets back and that is on Saturday. ‘Two days?’ Yes. ‘Fuck yes, suck it other part!’ Again who is this other part? ‘Oh it’s no one.’ Fine. ‘What’s with you and the word ”Fine”?’ At the Library. Ten minutes walk later. “Twilight? Spike? Are you home?” Then I see the lavender pony reading as she looks up at me. “Oh, Dave already home? I thought it would take more than three hours.” You underestimate me. ‘Nope she can actually see right through you, since you are a ghost.’ Wait what? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. ‘It actually does if you look at it from my angle.’ KAY… “You underestimate me; Iron Forge himself said this was the next best sword he has ever seen made out of this simple material. And it feels good to finally have a weapon again.” That sounded really bad actually. “Why would you even want a weapon?” “I feel safer with it, that’s just it and it feels really comfortable for me as well. I would never hurt anypony with it. I just want it for self defense. You know in case of emergency” “I will take your word on it then.” “Thank you Twilight. I think I will just go up to the room again and read through that book.” “Seems like a fine idea to me.” It sure does. ‘Why haven’t we talked with Rainbow at all today except for this morning.’ We haven’t talked to either Applejack, Fluttershy or Pinkie either today. ‘Well both you and I know you like Rainbow a little but more.’ Yeah you are right but Fluttershy is a close second. Now let’s get to reading and then eating and then sleeping. ‘Let’s.’ Sleepy sleepy human. "Now what about that one? I liked it and i hope you did aswell :)"
