//------------------------------// // Chapter Two // Story: The Canadian Brony // by Biglaw //------------------------------// Chapter Two I could hardly see where the voice was coming from, even though I knew who it was. Celestia. Princess Celestia. "Derrick, can you hear me?" the heavenly voice called out. "Yes, I can hear you." I responded. The light had begun to die down, and the Alicorn appeared from its wake. Unsurprisingly, she stood taller than my father, and had a multi coloured mane, which seemed to flow as if carried by a gentle breeze. She was snow white in colour, and had a sun for a cutie mark. Her eyes were violet, and her horn was about 18 inches long. "Celes- Princess Celestia, why have you come here?" I ask "There is very little time, we must hurry." Celestia hastily responded "Why? What is wr-" before I could finish my sentence, she had put her horn on my forehead, and I saw an extremely bright light. What is going on, why is this happening? I try to move my arms, but I cannot do anything, Why can't I move anything? I thought to myself. As I continue to wonder what this situation is, I feel myself start to fall. Crap. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The wind around me starts to fly into my face, and I could feel the world start to form around me. First, the sky. I began to see into the distance, and I saw Cloudsdale Looks so much bigger than in the show, then I began to see the mountains, and I saw Canterlot. When I can, I'm going to ask the princess what's happening., and finally, I see the ground. The ground... Wait, GROUND? I flail my limbs in hope of something being achieved, but nothing seemed to help. If I remember correctly, drag can cause something to descend slower. Thank you math! I spread my limbs out as far as I can, and I slow down a bit I'm not slowing down fast enough! Come on, there's gotta be something else that will slow me down! I look to my side and facehoofed. Wings! Why didn't I notice these! I open up my wings, and they catch a lot of the wind, which made me spin backwards. Great Celestia, why couldn't you have just put me on the ground?!? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After spinning around from the updraft, I become extremely worn out. Shouldn't be surprised, considering I've never flown before. I feel like I can't take much more flying, and one of my wings fold back in from exhaustion. "Well, this can't really get worse." I begin to spiral towards the ground, and I try to open my wing, and I can just barely do so. I attempt to level myself, but I am still going down. I'm about 300 feet off of the ground when my wing gives in, again. I begin to fall at a rapid pace, unable to pull up at all Oh God, oh God, oh God. I'm about 50 feet from the ground, and there is no stopping my fall. Well, it's been a good run. Or fall, I should say. I hit the ground at about a 15 degree angle, and I roll about 10 feet. "Uggghhh... My legs..." I mutter to myself. I look to my legs, and they are awkwardly bent, and they are scratched up as well. Well, ain't this just dandy. My legs are broken, and there is nopony here! Thank you Celestia!. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many emotions are going through my head right now. Anger, fear, sadness. The fact that my legs are broken don't exactly help out the situation either. Well, i guess I'm just going to have to wait here until somepony comes. I lied there for about an hour, and the sun was beginning to set. Where is everypony? Sigh. I lie there for about fifteen more minutes, when suddenly, I see something in the sky. Could it be? An actual pony? "Hey!" I call out, but they didn't hear me. "HEY! YOU UP THERE! I yelled out. Holy crap, that was almost as loud as the Royal Canterlot voice! The pony had heard me yell, and was approaching with haste. "Hey! You! Why'd you yell at me?" The rainbow maned pegasus asked. "Well, I'm not sure if you can notice this but..." I look to my legs, and her mouth stood ajar. "Holy cow! How did that happen?" the pegasus asked "Does it really matter? I can't walk! Could you help me out?" I ask. "Oh, yeah! Of course!" she happily responded. She flew down next to me, and she said "The name is Rainbow. Rainbow Dash. What's yours?" Oh man, everypony here has some sort of name that's related to their cutie mark, what would mine be? I quickly look to my cutie mark, it's a lightning bolt with a star behind it "Well? What is it? Or are you too chicken to tell me?" "My name is... Star Bolt. You can just call me Bolt, if you want." I reply. "Well, Bolt, your pretty dinged up, I think it's be best if I got Twilight to help you get to the hospital." She said "Alright, I'll wait here. Not like I have anything else to do." I reply, and she flew away as quick as she could. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I lied there for about three minutes, when I saw a stream across the sky in a rainbow fashion. She's back! And hopefully with Twilight as well. "Hey! Bolt! I got Twilight here!" She yelled out to me. "Thank you!" I shout back, she gave me a smile, and Twilight hopped off her back. "Hello there, Bolt? I believe?" she said. I nodded and she began to levitate me with her magic. Kind of feels the same as when I came here. The walk to the hospital was about fifteen minutes, and when we got in, there was a stretcher ready for me. "Thanks Dash, thanks Twilight. I'd probably be stuck in that field still if it weren't for you girls." I said. "It was my pleasure!" Twilight said "Yeah, same here. You seem pretty cool Bolt, maybe we can hang out after you get fixed up?" she replied "Yeah, that would be pretty cool! Thanks again you guys." They both smiled and I felt myself being moved. "Now Bolt, we're going to do some x-rays to see what is broken, okay?" The doctor said. I nodded, and was pushed into another room. The x-rays weren't too long, and the doctor said I had broken my right front leg, and the others were only sprained. "Now Bolt, you're going to have to stay for at least tonight." I nodded, and the doctor was about to leave the room when I said "Hey doc, is Rainbow Dash still here?" The doctor looked at me and said "Yes, why do you ask?" "Oh, I just wanted to see her, could you get her for me?" I ask. He nodded in approval, and went to get Rainbow Dash. A few minutes later, she walked into my room. "Hey Bolt, you wanted to see me?" Dash said. "Yeah, I just wanted to thank you again for what you did. You're pretty awesome." I replied. "Yeah, I am pretty awesome." she said. "Hey Rainbow Dash, do you think you could stay here for tonight?" I ask her. She gave me a smile, and said "Sure, I wouldn't mind staying here with you. And Bolt?" "Yeah?" "Call me Dash."
