//------------------------------// // Chapter 9: For Lack Of A Better Title // Story: Foreknowledge // by Mr_Hippopotomonstroses //------------------------------// Chapter 9: For Lack Of A Better Title I woke up. I was still in bed. What happened yesterday? We happened. Then shit happened. Then this happened. What?...oh that's right. The forest, the noise, Twilight. I opened my eyes slowly, I saw Twilight still in bed with me. Instead of her being to my said hugging my arm, she was on my chest. We are still not sure how this happened though. She still had a smile, murmuring something. I almost got up when she suddenly moved and let out a yawn. Shes going to wake up! Hey...want to..? That would be embarrassing for her. Sure lets do it. I had my eye somewhat closed. I had my eye lids ever slightly open so I could see what went one but she wouldn't know I was awake. She had finally woken up and looked around. She had a confused facial expression. Guess she doesn't know what happened either. Is that a good or bad thing? She yawned again and moved. She looked down possibly to see what she was on. When she saw me she heavily blushed and froze for a moment. She was blushing but then realized something and checked both my arms. This bitch WAS following us! Shut up already, whining wont change anything. She had a worried face, and once she was done inspecting my arms seemed satisfied and went back to embarrassed. She looked down at me. I gave off a fake snore, to see what she would do if she thought I was asleep. She kept staring at me, then at the door, then at me. She seemed to make a decision. She made it, readjusted on me, and got comfortable. She lay back on my stomach and let out a happy sigh and smiled. So now? Now. I moved my hand and poked her. She froze like a dear in the headlights. Caught red handed bitch. Wouldn't it be red hoofed? Hell if I know. Either way I don't care. "Comfortable?" "N-Night Wing!" "Yes?" "I-I...um..." "Can't come up with an excuse for laying on top of me?" "W-What!? N-No, I don't even r-remember coming!" "Sure~" "N-Not important! N-Now tell me w-what you wh-where doing in the f-forest!" "More importantly, how and why did you follow me? Hm?" "I-I heard you l-leave..." "Sure~. Now tell me the truth Twi." "..." "Well?" "Y-You where acting strange so I placed a tracking spell on you." "How do those two things even make sense?" "I...I don't know actually." "Wait, hold still." "Why?" "Just hold still." I had saw something white in her mane. I mover her mane, and saw a piece of paper in her mane. It said 'Test 1'. I just crumbled it in my palm and hid it. "Huh, I thought I saw something." "Now tell me. What where you doing in the forest." "You tell me, you followed me there." "I did...but I didn't understand what happened." "What did you see?" "I saw you talking to yourself. Then you cut your arms and I saw those big...whatever they where form from your blood. What was that by the way?" "A type of human with an incredible disease. Not from my universe, from another. I'll explain more later." "You kept yelling as you used your...blood...to cut down trees." "Releasing some anger. That's it. It was just a one time thing. Wouldn't want to have let my anger out on you pony's now would I?" "I guess not..." "You haven't answered my question yet Twi." "Huh? What question?" "Are you comfortable on my chest?" She realized she hadn't moved from my chest. She had actually shifted to get more comfortable while talking. That made her blush alright. She was stammering trying to change the topic. I just laughed at her feeble attempts to change the topic. I got up and asked if we could forget about yesterday and get some breakfast. She didn't answer to the first but said that she would wake Spike up and have breakfast ready. I remembered saying that stuff would be interesting. We both said it. But why? I kept digging through my memory and I froze when I recalled it. Oh... This WILL be interesting Well, I know what to do at least. We had breakfast as twilight tried to question me about what happened yesterday. I kept my answers short and simple saying it was only a one time thing over and over. Spike was in the dark about what we where talking about but decided it best not to question it. He had his chores for the day and left to do them. Twilight let me be as I excused myself for another project in my lab. I knew there was a reason for me saving my metal. I had to make me molds for two sword I was to make. I was close to finishing Project VPD. Now, thanks to recent events, I was even closer. I went to work on my swords and my VPD. ~ The next day I woke up early to finish my swords. Have you ever made swords? of course you haven't, but let me just tell you the heat of it is like hell. You have to tend it and have it in constant heat to form it. I had two, a white one and a dark blue one. At the bottom of the handle I had put a symbol on each. A sun and a moon. I was close to finishing my VPD. I would probably finish it today. "Night Wing, Twilight told me to tell you that-whoa." "What was that Spike?" "Dude, what do you have?" "This? Two swords." "Why?" "Time will tell." "Um, okay." "So what was that about Twilight?" "Oh, right! She told me to tell you to come up for breakfast before it got cold." "Okay, i'll be right up." Thanks to my super cool technology, the swords where made in two days. Around 30 hours actually. I let them rest in a chamber allowing them to completely harden and be ready to use in ten minutes. Not that I needed to anyways. Better safe than sorry. I had finished breakfast and went back down to my lab. I had my swords I just needed to make a sheath. It took me a while to make a material like leather but not exactly leather. I had it dyed black because it would match well with my sweater and recently made cloak. Dark was my color okay? Anyway's I made the sheath have a strap to go around my chest and hang in the back. Two swords, two sheaths. They where on my back in an X fashion. I checked both, they fit alright. Sword done, I was going to test out my VPD. I put a pen in the VPD. I used my nano band as a key to unlock the VPD. The nanobots would go to my hand and tear reality in order to have access to a pocket dimension. The pen seemed alright. I did more test, constantly putting more and more things. All I had to do was think of the object I had put in it and I just had to reach out and grab it. Strange but hey, it worked. I had put my two swords, sheath and all, into the VPD. I spent the rest of the day experimenting with some chemicals. Eventually night came and went to sleep. ~ I had breakfast, and decided to take a break from my experiments and read. I was on the sofa as Spike was doing chores and Twilight organizing books. She had no organization for books and when I pointed that out she had said the where organized. The books where where she could remember them. I face palmed at that, giving her the logic that if only she knew it how would other pony's know where it is. She argued for a while, and I just stopped her and asked her if she would let me try something. I explained the Dewey Decimal System. She seemed amazed by the idea. I let her re organize her books as I read. Pinkie burst in panting. "Twilight!" "Hi Pinkie." "Are you doing anything fun?" "No, just organizing the library. Why?" "I'm looking for any fun i'm missing! Anywaysigottagobye!" "What was that about?" Oh, shit. Is she..? But that's not right, that is season three at least one year away. Do you think something caused it to happen earlier? Guess so. I got up, put my cloak on and started to explain it to Twilight. "Where are you going?" "I need to check something. If i'm right get ready for hell." "What?" "Twilight, don't follow me, and be prepared for a stampede." "What do you mean a stampede?" "The real Pinkie is the one that will be sad and crying." "What do you mean the real pinkie?" "Just remember the real one is the sad one! Got that?" "Um, yes?" "Good. Now I have to check something." Yeah I left her completely confused. Are you going to..? Do you not want to? No, i'm fine with it. We left and ran toward the forest and ran into Pinkie. She told me about her problem with all the fun and said she was going to make clones of herself. I just followed her as she sang on the way. I think she was expecting me to sing along but hell no. We reached the pool as she chanted something and made clones of herself. Then those clones made clones. Then those clones made clones, etc. I just waited until she left. I followed the pool's stream until I got to a crack in the wall. Dead end, I don't know where it leads. I went to the pool and made a clone. I injected him with nano bots and he became exactly like me, and not like those Pinkie drones. We left and went to town. My clone new the plan. We went Twilight who looked surprised to see two of us. She kept asking questions as I finally shut her up. I gave her the plan, and we saw the sad Pinkie. She kept saying that she thinks she is the real one but didn't know. I just grabbed her and took her back. These pony's are light. My clone meanwhile went and got all the other pinkies and rounded them up. Twilight had sent them all back to the pond. My clone was to go also but he wanted to something before he left. He wanted a duel with our new swords. I agreed. We went to the forest in a clearing we made a few days earlier. Twilight and her friends(not including Rarity and Fluttershy) came to watch. I summoned my sword from the VPD and gave the Celestia one to my clone. We kept at it for a while. It was getting night and we where still at it. The only noise was our sword clashing. Eventually my clone was satisfied and said he was good to go. I had some more explaining to do, about my swords, and my clone. Before leaving I went back to the entrance of the cave and blocked it with giant rocks using magic from my unicorn form. Twilight seemed some what moody these past few days, and was blushing more than ever. I just decided not to question it. We went to sleep after Twilight had written her friendship lesson.
