//------------------------------// // What is going on? // Story: What are the odds? // by HikariToYami //------------------------------// "Yay 10th chapter! this is bit longer YAY! Enjoy." Wait, where am I again? ‘You are on a fucking cloud, you idiot.’ Oh it’s you again. ‘Did you miss me?’ (Sarcasm incoming) Oh yes I missed you so so much you wouldn’t believe it. It’s so good to finally have you back. ‘Enough with the sarcasm please?’ Now it’s my turn to annoy you! MUAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA! ‘You know that won’t happen right?’ We’ll see. Rainbow then walks into the room. How did we wake up at the same time? ‘Don’t ask me, I don’t know.’ Shit. “Good morning Rainbow.” “Good morning Dave, but what are you doing on the floor?” ‘It’s comfortable?’ Yeah that too. “The couch was too small?” Why did I turn that into a question? ‘Why are you questioning yourself so much?' I have absolutely no idea. ‘I know why. Because you are stupid.’ Then how about you? ‘I have nothing to say on that.’ Good. “Oh I get it, I must have forgot about that yesterday since I was so sleepy after all.” “I don’t really care since the cloud was really comfortable in itself.” “You think cloud floor is comfortable? Then you should really try a cloud bed.” “Is there even any difference?” Aren’t they the same? ‘How should I know? I only know the things you do, remember?’ Oh yeah, you are right, that’s true. “There is a really big difference! Why don’t you go into my bedroom and try it out while I try to make breakfast?” Is she even good at making food? ‘STOP ASKING ME YOU FUCKING RETARD.’ Chillax max, seriously what is your problem? ‘I DON’T HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT (I am actually managing to piss my brain off, that’s new.).’ Just calm down, please? ‘Fine…’ “I will do that.” I then start walking towards what I think is her room. ‘You are walking? I would never have guessed, I thought you would say poofing or something equally stupid.’ Whatever you say you stupid random brain. When I open the door I notice something. Wow it sure is empty in here. I then start walking towards the bed and sit on it. And then I lay down on it. OMG this was the most soft thing I have ever touched…ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Five minutes later. “DAVE! You are not supposed to sleep on my bed since you just woke up, and then you go back to sleep again. I mean really now?” But it’s so comfortable. “Well you are right about one thing. That bed is SOOOO comfortable.” ‘But I wanna sleep, GO BACK TO SLEEP NOW! DAVE, I’M WARNING YOU!’ Nah it’s time to wake up. ‘SHIT!’ Why are you so grumpy? ‘I was up all night…’ How did you do that? ‘Well I am in your mind which doesn’t mean I’m sleeping when you are.’ RIIGHT. “I told you so, didn’t I?” “Well yeah, but I really need to get one of these.” “You can’t unless you live on a cloud. It would evaporate on the ground.” “Oh, then I will just have to get a cloud to live on then.” “It’s not that easy, since you have a spell on you that make it so that you can walk on clouds and if you didn’t have that you would fall through the floor.” “But I want to live on cloud” Sad face on my face. “Well you can’t. Now get up and let’s get to eating.” “Sure, whatever you say Dashie.” I get an angry glare from Dash. “What?” “Oh, it’s nothing really.” “Ok then.” ‘Why are you acting like a five-year old?’ Because it’s funny to me. ‘NO! IT’S NOT FUNNY!’ To me it is. ‘GAH!' Ok after the breakfast, and let me just say that she is not a bad breakfast maker (Cook?), at least better than I expected since its Rainbow Dash we are talking about here. “That was quite good actually. Though cooking doesn’t really match your style.” “That’s what everypony say all the time, but if I’m all alone do I get fast-food? No I don’t I make my own food.” “That makes sense.” ‘Oh yes, mister perfect sense. Why don’t you just kiss my ass and shut up?’ Nah, I don’t want to. “Thank you, I guess.” Thank you too. “Well, I want to go to Rarity’s place and look if she got there and maybe finally get some new clothes, these are starting to smell.” I need to go there but I don’t want to. “And I also want to meet this Nova guy.” “Who?” Wait you don’t know? “So I never said that to you?” ‘NO YOU DID NOT.’ Grumpy much? ‘NO!’ “You never mentioned him, who is he anyways?” “Oh he’s just somepony that got Rarity to go on a date with him and he followed her here to Ponyville.” “Wait he managed to get Rarity to go on a date with him?” I nod. “That was kind of masterful of him since she has always turned down every date request she has ever gotten.” “Twilight mentioned that. Well I need to get going, can you get me to the ground?” “Even better, I can fly you to the boutique.” I never thought she would use that word. ‘Maybe she respects Rarity at least a bit. But I think it’s just for lolz.’ That’s very immature of you. ‘I’m more than a million years old so I’m older than you.’ Ok? “That would be awesome, thank you!” “No problem really.” She then looks away. Wait why is she looking away? ‘I know!’ Then what? ‘I’m not saying because I hate you.’ We go out on the cloud and I jump on her back and she starts flying towards carousel boutique. ---------------------------------------P.O.V. Change to Nova------------------------------------ These couple of days have really been something special, I mean I finally got to meet one of the mane-6 and she LIKED me, I actually can’t believe this. Though I am very happy that she actually did and maybe I will get to meet everypony else. *I am sure you will Nova Note.* Oh please call me Nova. *Ok sure but you really should get out of bed. I think Rarity is waiting for you downstairs.* Oops I forgot I was sleeping at Rarity’s house there for a second. I stand up on my four hooves and stretch. I then start walking down the stairs. I hear rarity calling out for me. “Nova darling, is that you? I have made you some breakfast.” Ooh I am hungry now when she mentions food. “Yeah, it’s me and thanks for making breakfast.” I then enter the kitchen and I see Rarity standing there and I begin to smile because the food is already on the table. “It looks delicious.” I then take a bite and I must say, THAT WAS AMAZING. “That was one of the best breakfast I have ever had, it was amazing.” “You are just saying that.” “No, I am serious, it’s really good.” “Why thank you then Nova.” “No problem Rarity.” God I like that mare. *In every way.* Probably, the fun thing about you is that I have learned to deal with you. *I can’t be that bad.* You used to be a lot worse. *I did? I really need to go back to that then.* NO the thing is I can stand you now, before I had no chance to stand you. *I guess that makes sense. Did I ever mention HIM to you?* Yeah I know who you are talking about, what about him? *He is in Ponyville.* That can’t be good. *No but he probably wouldn’t do something really stupid, he actually just want to have fun and be a dick with the “creature” he has possessed.* You mean like you are doing with me? *Kind of, yes.* After eating and having a wonderful chat with Rarity we start hearing knocks from the door. “I will take that, though I think I know who it is. You can follow me Nova but please don’t freak out when you see him would you.” “It can’t be that bad.” “Not when you accept the fact.” She goes to the door, opening it and in the door opening stands. “DAVE!?” Author note: Oh yes, I just did that. Don’t worry; the rest will happen later in the chapter. I’m not that sadistic. ‘But I am!’ Go away! It’s not your day! ‘It actually is.’ Shut up, I just want you to shut the fuck up. ‘No you shut up.’ Back to the story! -------------------------------------P.O.V. Change to Twilight----------------------------------- How could that happen? I don’t understand, has she been with a stallion? No, that would make no sense what so ever. No matter what I got to get to her, and quick. I trot down the stairs as fast as I can and get breakfast and everything you do in the morning. After that I almost rush out the door before. “Twilight, where are you going?” “To Canterlot.” “Why are you going there?” “Spike, before I say why, can you please make some soup and give it to Fluttershy? Because she has been taking care of a lot of sick animals lately and hasn’t got the time to make food.” “Yeah I can do that, but why are you going to Canterlot again?” “Celestia just gave birth.” ---------------------------------P.O.V. Change to Fluttershy------------------------------------ “Angel you should really stay in bed, you should not be up in your condition.” Angel jumps out of the bed and runs away. “Angel get back here! You are sick and you should be in bed.” Then there is knocking coming from the door. “I will be right there.” I walk to the door and open it. “OH, hi Spike what are you doing here?” “Twilight asked me to make some soup and give it to you since you are really busy with taking care of all the animals. And then she went off.” “Thank you for getting this to me, but where did you say Twilight went?” “To Canterlot.” Why? “Why would she go there? Has something happened Spike?” “OH nothing, nothing at all…” POOF. How did he run away that fast? Must have been him learning from Pinkie Pie. Did something happen to Celestia? Or maybe Luna? Maybe it’s just something related to her studies, so it’s probably not important. But I really need to get Angel bunny into bed. “Ooh Angel! I have got some of your favorite carrots for you down here.” That must get him to come back here. “Oh hi there Angel, you are going back to be.” I pick him up and place him in his bed and WOW he is resisting. I really hope my plan for Dave tonight is going to work; I will just have to wait and see. ----------------------------------P.O.V. Change to Spike----------------------------------------- Twilight is really going to get mad at me if she knew that I almost said the complete story to Fluttershy. Hopefully Fluttershy will only think it’s something about Twilights studies. Wait is that Dave? And who is that that other stallion and why are they laughing? It’s probably nothing and whatever it is, I will probably get to know it later anyway. To the library! ---------------------------------P.O.V. Change to Pinkie Pie------------------------------------ Oh this party is gonna be so much fun and we are getting a new friend and the whole party will be so much fun. And the preparations are going so good and every detail is going to be perfect, it will be the best night ever! I wonder what kind of cupcakes he would like. He looks like he likes most things so I will just do my best cupcake and I’m sure he will like it! Oh this party is going to so much fun! OH I can’t wait for this evening but I really hope he will like it. He probably will because he seemed like such a nice person oh I’m so excited. ----------------------------------P.O.V. Change to Dave------------------------------------------ “And who are you supposed to be?” Why does he look so familiar? With that white coat and a light blue and light pink mane and that note cutie mark. And what is up with his mane? ‘Oh you know, he’s a hipster what else would he be?’ A DJ? That sounds a lot more reasonable. ‘I don’t like the sound of DJ because he looks like a real douche.’ “Dave don’t you remember me? It’s me Nova, or should I say Alex.” WAIT WHAT!? “Why should I believe you are Alex? He died a year ago and he was a human. It makes no sense that he would be a pony.” What if it is him? How did this happen? He died right? ‘DON’T ASK ME ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!' “And besides, if you really are Alex then prove it.” “What are you two talking about? Who is Alex, wait is that the name of your dead friend?” “Yes, it’s the name of my dead friend. So this is who you brought here.” “Dave, I assure you that I am Alex. Don’t you remember the “Incident” with the seals in the zoo?” “How do you know about that? Only me, Alex and Damian (He is such a Pinkie Pie) is supposed to know about that. Maybe you really are Alex or that was just a really lucky guess.” “How about the time we change the ink in our principal’s inkwell to fake ink?” “That was kind of funny, ok I am starting to believe you. But that still leaves one question, how did you get here after you died? Or did you even die? But I think you did since I was at your funeral.” “After I died I was suddenly in some kind of empty white space and in front of me was a floating white and blue smoke. It started to talk to me and it said I could have a second chance but not in our world, so I asked it if I could go to Equestria and he said yes and I just appeared out of nowhere in Prance. In the body of my OC no less! (That’s where I remember his look from). So I met a nice couple and I asked if I could live with them until I got my feet on the ground so to speak, I got a job and suddenly I meet Rarity here, and the rest you already know probably.” “That sounds kind of amazing.” “Why haven’t you told me about this?” He is about to get lectured, HARD. ‘Hard… That’s funny as hell.’ Seriously? Why did you have to do that? ‘It’s fun.’ “I just met you some days ago. And I thought I could start over with a new life here but then Dave here comes and is a human. But I would have told you sooner or later, but I guess it’s good that it’s out.” “I am unhappy that you did not mention it but when you explain it, I am ok with it darling.” “Oh and Rarity, how is the clothes going?” These are so dirty. “They are going quite marvelous actually; they are finished in about an hour or so. So you could just stay and get up to speed with Nova or Alex here, while I finishing these clothes.” “That sounds good.” ALEX IS ALIVE! I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE IT! I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW I COULD ALMOST EXPLODE WITH HAPPINESS. ‘I think you should calm down you dork.’ My friend is not dead, how do you expect me to feel? ‘Dead? But I would probably feel sadness because I never really liked him anyway.’ “That sound like a really good idea. Follow me Dave.” “Will do.” We enter the back room and sit on a couch and start talking about things that has happened the last year. Author note: Now how do you all like that little twist? -------------------------------------P.O.V. Change to Celestia---------------------------------- As crying fills the room, a single tear of joy rains down from Celestia’s cheek. Holding her new foal fills her with a happiness that she has not felt in a really long time. Luna enters the room with a smile on her face. “Have you thought of a name for him yet, sister?” “I think it will come in the time.” The crying stops and both sisters see the foal looking at a picture of a shooting star smiling. “I think we have a name.” “That is a wonderful name for your foal.” The young alicorn colt looks so peaceful with his purple coat and blue mane with black highlights. “I am sure he will grow up to become a wonderful stallion.” “That he will. I am sure Twilight will be a great teacher to him. And I really hope we can get Rainbow Dash to teach him to fly.” “I am sure she would be happy too.” “Yeah, we can always count on Twilight and her friends.” ------------------------------P.O.V. Change to Twilight Sparkle------------------------------- A purple light flashes and there stands Twilight. I walk up to the castle gates. “Excuse me, I am Twilight Sparkle, Celestia’s personal student and I have been requested to meet her in the castle. Would you mind opening the gates for me?” The guards nod and open the gates. I start trotting towards the castle. How did this happen? I mean how is it possible for the princess to give birth just like that? It does not make any sense. I really hope I get some answers from my visit. And why did she summon me here anyway? What is so special with this foal that I need to know? But something does not add up, she would have told me if she was about to give birth to a foal right? It is the biggest thing that has happened to Equestria in a really long time. I enter the castle to see its normal hugeness (Yes that is a word) and I start to trot towards what I know is the princess personal chamber. I open the door to the chamber to see Princess Celestia lying on her bed with her new foal; oh he is so cute I just wanna hug him. And Princess Luna is standing next to the bed and all of them are smiling. “Hello Princesses, why did you call me here except for that cute little colt?” “My faithful student, I am happy you could come with such a short notice. I summoned you not only because of the birth of my new foal.” “What’s his name?” “Shooting Star.” “That is a perfect name. You were talking about something else than your new foal?” “Twilight I have summoned you here because I need your help to take care of him, he kind of just appeared without notice. So I would want you my faithful student one pony that I trust the most, to take him in and teach him everything you can about magic when he comes to age.” “Why can’t you take care of your own foal? But I would gladly take the request; I am just wondering why you don’t want to take care of him yourself.” “Twilight, as you know me and my sister are the rulers of this land and we almost never have time for ourselves much less a foal, so I would really want you to take care of him since I trust you completely.” “I am surprised by this turn of events but I will gladly take your offer.” “You don’t have to worry about the expenses for the items he will need, because we will take care of that for you. You will get a carriage to personally escort you and my son back home to your library. Though there is something I need to warn you about in advance.” “What would that be?” “Alicorn babies age at a much faster rate when they are young. One week for an alicorn is like a year for a normal foal, this will continue until the fifth week where he will start to grow like a normal foal.” “That sounds crazy but I am sure I can handle it, I promise you.” “I am sure you will, my faithful student, I now must ask you to take Shooting Star here and leave for Ponyville.” “This soon? He was just born a few minutes ago right?” “That is true, but we really need to get back to our duties. I hope your trials with my child will go smoothly.” “Yeah, I hope so too.” I trot towards Celestia and she levitates Shooting Star onto my back. “We will take our leave then.” “Good luck Twilight Sparkle.” Thank you Luna. “Twilight, my faithful student good luck and I hope you raise my son well.” I nod and then I start trotting towards the door. ------------------------------P.O.V. Change to Rainbow Dash------------------------------- I should probably get to take these books back to Twilight, but I don’t want to leave them. But I have already read them so it does not matter. I put the Daring Do books down in my saddle bag and put the bags on my back. I walk outside and start flying towards the library. Ah, the wind is so comfortable. A small flight later I arrive at the Library. I open the door (Without knocking I might add) and in there I see Twilight sitting on the couch with a foal in her hooves. “I…I…I…Is that y-yours?” “No, it’s Celestia’s and he is called Shooting Star.” “Why do you have Celestia’s child and how did you get all of this baby stuff already?” “Celestia is too busy to take care of her own foal so she asked me. As for the baby items, the Princesses provided me with them.” “Sometimes I can’t believe that princess; sometimes she is just so annoying.” “Don’t say that, I am more than happy to take care of her foal, and besides young alicorns age really fast. In one week he will grow as much a normal foal would grow in a year but this will stop after five weeks and then she will start growing like a normal foal.” “So it will take about one week for him to begin baby talking?” “Pretty much. There is a slight problem as well. The princesses asked me to learn him about magic but they also asked me to ask you to teach him how to fly.” “OH, I can do that easily without a problem.” “Thank you Rainbow I appreciate that. Why did you come here anyway?” “I came here to return these books.” “Oh ok.” She levitates my books out of my saddlebags. “There we go.” “Thank you Twilight. See you later. Are you still going to Pinkie’s party?” “I don’t think I will be able to make it. I am so sorry, I would really like to go but I can’t not with him.” “I understand, and I’m sure Pinkie will as well.” “Thank you Rainbow.” “I should really get going.” “See you later, Dash.” “See you later Twilight.” ----------------------------------P.O.V. Change to Dave------------------------------------------ “Oh, it’s getting late; we should really get to the party.” “What party? What are you talking about?” “Pinkie Pie.” “OH, I get it, yeah we probably should get there.” “I am happy that you are alive, you know that right?” “I am happy that you are here.” We brohoofed. “That will never get old.” “Nnope, as Big mac would say.” We both laugh. “Oh look Sugarcube corner, that went fast.” “It sure did.” I still can’t believe that he is actually alive. ‘You know what?’ No? ‘I don’t care what so ever about your friend, he is probably a douchebag not worth your time.’ Why are you so negative? ‘Oh, nothing it’s just that he has someone like me in his head aswell.’ How do you know that? ‘Just trust me.’ Ok? “Do you have a voice in your head talking to you, like it’s you brain or something?” “How did you know that Dave?” “It’s because I also have them.” “Right. Wait, is the voice in your head a total dick?” “How did you know? But he is not always like that, every other day he is nice, the others he is a douche.” “Every other day? Huh. That is weird since the voice in my head only appears every other day and he is there now.” ‘Can you please stop talking about us?’ NEVER! “Oh, whatever let’s go into the party shall we?” “Let’s” We open the door and it’s completely black and as soon as we enter, the lights turn on and everypony yells: “SURPRISE!” “Thank you everypony!” And out of nowhere Pinkie appears. “HelloDaveit’ssonicethatyouwanttosatyhereinPonyvillesoidecidedtothrowapartyforyou,whoisyourfriend?” I am not sure I catched that. “This Town is really nice and I would love to live here and this is Nova.” “Hello there, What is your name?” “It’sPinkiePieohmygoshineedtothrowapartyforyouaswellbecauseyouareanewpony.” “No, I’m quite alright actually; I will just take this party like it is for me as well.” “Okie-dokie-lokie” Ah Pinkie, you are so random. “Where is Twilight?” “She was not able to come; she was busy with her studies.” Oh really? I don’t believe that but whatever. I will find out later but anyway. ’SHUT UP!’ NO! ‘YES!’ YES! ‘NO!’ GOT YOU! ‘FUCK YOU!’ “Oh ok, that is fine.” ‘You know what? We are not going to let you know what happened here at the party because we hate every single one of you.’ No we don’t. Let’s just say that Alex and I got really drunk and our brains took over, bad things happened. ‘I never want to go through that again.’ Oh yeah fun fact: When my brain becomes drunk he become really really nice, and the nice brain get’s SUPER DUPER EVIL I mean what the fuck? ‘I like him in that state.’ Oh shut up. Oh and by the way, this is Shooting Star: "Oh and the whole child thing will be explained, I PROMISE! now what did you think of this longer one?"
