//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: Lost Memories and New Experiences // by Brony4life360 //------------------------------// Ah, it was great to feel fresh air on my face again. The feeling of falling, and all the wind rushing pas-OH SHIT. Ah the feeling of landing face-first on the ground. The feel of grass on my face. The pain lancing across the front of my body, while the stitches on my back protested my landing. The worried voice of Rainbow behind me-wait. "Bear! Are you alright?" asked Rainbow, her voice filled with worry. I slowly got up onto my feet, and looked at Rainbow. "Yea, I'm good." I replied while I was still crying from the hit on my nose. I look back up at the window that I had just jumped out of. The window on the second floor had broken when I jumped out. Well, that explains why I wasn't ready for the landing. The only time I jumped out of buildings was when I was on the third floor at least. I turn back to look around and see if I can spot the castle. But I am stopped suddenly when I hear a screech of excitement. I whip my head around to look at the source of the sound, and to my surprise I found it quite quick. All I heard was Rainbow look behind me, say, "Lyra do-" and when I turned, my vision became one blotch of mint green fur. "Whu thu fuch!" I screams through the mound of fur that is now enveloping his face. "I knew it!," the green-furred thing that was attached to my was crying gleefully, "I knew humans were real!" . I manage to pry it off of my face, and set it on the ground. Now that I get a good look at it, it strikes me that I have seen her before, when I watched the show. Grinning, I mock-bow and say with a thick British accent, "Well hello my fair pony, what is your name, if I may so inquire." She gasped, holding a hoof to her mouth, "Wow, it can even talk too! My name's Lyra. Lyra Heartstrings." She holds out her hoof for a hoof shake. I take her hoof and gently kiss it. "It is my pleasure to meet such a beautiful mare, my name is Bear." I then stand back up and look at Lyra. She had her head turned to avoid my gaze, blushing heavily and rubbing the hoof that I had just kissed. Hnng, Oh god my chest hurts. I turned back to look at Rainbow, who was just standing there looking at me if I had just fucked Lyra right in front of her. "Oh my god Rainbow, your fuckin face!" I practically yell, pointing at her, while laughing my ass off. Oh my god my sides hurt. Getting up and wiping tears from my eyes. "Alright Rainbow, lets get to the castle." Rainbow stays still. "Okay, then going to the castle by myself!" I say in a last-ditch effort to snap Rainbow out of her little trance. It doesn't seem to work. I turn towards Lyra, "Well, it seems that Rainbow.exe has stopped working. Later, Lyra." I wave goodbye. I have just turned away from her when she yells. "Wait!" I turn back to face her. "What?" I ask. "I have so many questions though!" She replies, walking towards me. "I need you to answer them, please!" She gives me the puppy-dog eyes with her last statement. Fuck, I can't say no to that, but I had already thought that she was going to ask me that, so I already had an answer ready for her. "Come to the castle tomorrow at sunset. You can bring three friends, I will answer all of your questions. Now, if you will excuse me, I will be heading to the castle now." I turn back to where Rainbow was. "Alright Rainbow lets go-" She wasn't there. I turn to look for her, and all I can see is a rainbow trail heading straight to the castle. I sigh, looks like I'm gonna have to hurry and get to the castle. I turn to Lyra, "Well, it looks like this is goodbye until tomorrow." After I had said my goodbye, I started to run in the direction of the castle. Now, I am in great shape, thanks to my job and active lifestyle. Getting across this town was going to be a piece of cake. I wasn't expecting the amount of ponies that I would have to dodge though. I think that I had accidentally ran on the road that goes through the market. I saw a bunch of ponies walking from stall to stall, and there was no way I was going to be able to stop in time with the pace that I was running at. "Clear the way!' I scream, hoping that the ponies would get out of the way. Most did, but there were some that seemed to freeze in fear as I was barreling through. They were all screaming, though, every single pony was screaming. I couldn't hear any specific things that they had said, because I was trying my hardest to not run into anyone. After what felt like an eternity, I finally got out of the market and was able to see the base of the castle. I exhale in relief. I was almost to the castle. I start to slow down when I near the door. This castle, though, does not fit in with the rest of the town. I shrug and ignore that revelation and push the door open to enter the castle. Holy shit, this thing is so much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. The ceiling is high as shit and this fucking room could fit a lot of people in here. Hot damn, I swear that some titan-sized creature designed this place. I look to the center of the room and find Twilight and her friends sitting on six different thrones in the center of the room. They are all looking at me. All of them have different expressions on their faces. Before I can figure out what out what their expressions were, a pink blur covers my face. Goddamn it Pinkie. This mare is covering my entire head, I can't breath, hear, I can't do fucking ANYTHING. As I try to pry her off of my face, I hear Twilight shout something. Pinkie immediately disappears from the death-hold that she had on my face. I take a deep breath as I now am not being suffocated. Looking around the room, I now see that all of them have frowns on their faces, save for Pinkie. She has a worried smile. I was really confused now. Rainbow and Twilight had seemed friendly when they first met me, but now they are giving me distrustful scowls and looking at me like I should be thrown in a prison. I continue walking up to their thrones, with a little nervousness building up in my chest. As I got to the center of the six thrones, I steel my nerves and keep my face straight. "So, Rainbow, Twilight," I nod my head in the direction of both of them, "what's with the sudden mood change?" Rainbow scowls at me and snarls, "Don't talk to me, you monster!" She looks like she wants to say more, but Twilight shoots her a 'shut the fuck up right now' type of death glare, which shuts Rainbow up pretty quick. Twilight turns her attention back to me, "Celestia told us what you humans have done to innocent ponies in the past. I do not trust you at all. Now, I am giving you one chance to tell us what we want to know, before I kick you out of Ponyville." Holy mother of twat-knockers, she's being serious! I think while I look at Twilight's expression. But, I don't make any sort of indication that her words had any impact on me. "Alright." I say, calm and gazing at Twilight. "So all I will do is answer your questions, and then you will kick me out of Ponyville?" "Yes." Twilight answers, her voice cold. I looked around at all the other elements, their expressions weren't much different. I sit down, looking at Twilight. "Alright, let's get this show started!" I say with a smile as Rainbow snarls at me. I turn to grin at her. Oh, man was this going to be a shit-storm for the ages. "Alright, first question," Twilight says as she starts to pile together... Notebooks and quills. Of fucking course she would be taking notes during this. "Where did you come from?" I smirk, "Well I came from my mother's womb, like all of you probably did as well." God I love being a smartass sometimes. I think while I look at all of their faces, which range from annoyance to rage. "Are you going to treat this as a joke?" Twilight almost yells at me, her face red. Man, someone must have shat in her cheerios this morning, because her temper was short as hell. "Yeah, I am." I respond, my face straight. "Because even if I do take this seriously, you are still going to kick me out anyways. So why should I take this seriously Twilight?" I stand up now and look at Twilight, who is currently rolls her eyes. "Then let me help you with that, since you know you are going to leave anyways." Twilight says, a little darkly. I was shocked, this did not seem like Twilight at all! I looked at her, my eyes widened a little. I watched her activate her magic, and I saw something wrong her when she did. Were those... black streaks in her magic stream? I thought before she blasted me with a stream of lavender-colored magic.
