//------------------------------// // Chapter 2-Jail Time Blues // Story: Not On Earth Anymore // by Jack Jester //------------------------------// I awoke in a jail cell. (Yes, Im so abusing jail scenes) "What in the name of Doritos...Where am I?!" "Funny, that's the same thing you said in my bedroom this morning." The purple pony walked up to the bars with a less than happy look on her face. "Look, I dont remember last night, so if I did something Im sorry but otherwise Im innocent!" She glared at me. "Do you know what you've gotten yourself into?" She asked me. "No. I didnt get myself into this! I was THROWN into this! U COMPRENDE?!" My anger showed. A guard stepped in because of the yelling. He asked me to calm down in that condescending tone they do back home. "Or what? You'll throw more doughnuts at me? Im sure you have plenty." I retorted. The guard frowned and held his tummy. He ran away crying. They seriously have guards like this? Crimes must be so easy to commit in cartoon world! Whats-her-face looked at me in disgust. "Maybe a attitude spell will help that nasty tone of yours!" Her horn glowed and a beam of light shot at me. My body froze. I couldnt dodge it or anything, I just sat there. What was this? Spells, talking ponies? Am I about to be probed by alien horses?! My mind went through countless scenarios in the .5 seconds it took for the thing to hit me. Once it did, every nerve in my body shot on fire. Everything was in pain. Not just 'ow I stubbed my toe' pain. It was more 'Ow I put my hand on the oven burner' pain. My senses all doubled in strength. Suddenly I could smell the whole office. I could see for miles (or at least into the wall very clearly) and hear every small crack in my voice as I screamed at the top of my lungs. Then it all went blank. The last thing I remember was the room turning purple for a second before I collapsed onto the floor. --- "Um...Hello?" I asked. The thing laid there. He didnt move or talk or anything. "Are...are you OK?" Magic isnt supposed to do that! I just tried to calm him down! Then all of a sudden he was Mr Electricity and screaming! "Oh no! Please dont be...dead! Get up!" His eyes opened. They were dull, emotionless, and...purple. He got up just like I said. "Oh thank heavens! What was that just now? Do you have a magic charm or something that disrupts magic?" I asked. He kept standing there. "...Answer me!" I shouted. "I'm not sure what just happened. I do not posses and magical items, as far as I know." He said lethargically. His sudden change of attitude was drastic. Could it have been my spell? "Um...sit down?" He sat down. "Hold your hand up." He obeyed again. First he was insulting and mean, now he followed every order like a pet? I dont remember my magic being THAT powerful! As I was thinking, his eyes glowed the color of my fur for a second before they returned to their normal green hue. --- "GAH!" I collapsed back, holding my head. A splitting headache took hold. "What was that for?!" I screamed at her. She jumped back with a yelp. "What...you were just--" "Unconscious? Yeah, I NOTICED! Stupid pony and your stupid magic and your stupid...stupidness!" I waved my hand for her to leave while I curled up in the corner still gripping my aching cranium. From the corner of my eye I saw her leave. Thank heavens. Now I can suffer in peace. ------------------------------------------- Author's Note: What do you think? I wanted to go down a different path with this story I decided. Too much of a change? Not enough? Oh well, Im the author. Just let me know if this gets TOO stupid even by my standards.
