Chapter 13 – A Short Explanation
As soon as I arrived in Sweet Apple Acres I looked around to find it quiet and shut my eyes and feel for life around me.
I then feel a group of ponies in the barn and begin to walk towards it.
As I get closer I can hear one of the voices says “He just disappeared. He was right infront of me and he just disappeared.”
I then hear another voice say “Why would he just leave ya in the middle of the station”
“I'm sure he had his reasons” another voice said
“what possible reason could he have for leaving Scootaloo?”
I then step up to the door and knock. I then hear someone walk up to the door and as it opens I see everybody inside staring at me. I then say “Before you say anything I have a reason for disappearing.”
I then hear Twilight say “OK lets hear the reason I would love to hear why you left us at the train station”
I then hear Applebloom say “And left Scootaloo at the school when ya said ya would pick her up”
“OK here is my reason. I got displaced in another reality.”
To this Twilight asks “wasn't that what you described to us yesterday?”
“Yeah it was. Anyway after I disappeared, I arrived on the Canterlot express in a different reality. Where I met a Displaced named Sasuke Uchiha and his 'employee' Starlight.”
To this Rainbow says “you met two Displaced.”
“No I only met one, Starlight is a Unicorn”
I then hear Rainbow ask “what does his token look like?”
To this I smile and reach for the necklace and take it off my neck and show it to the group. I then says “This is the token he gave me, if either of us ever needs help we will be able to call each other.”
I then her Fluttershy say “Was he nice?”
To this I shake my head and say “definitely not. In his world he had put the Princess into the hospital, asked me to kill innocent creatures just to test my powers and then used a horrible spell to threaten Starlight.”
I then hear everyone gasp and Twilight shout “He injured Celestia!”
“yeah he's that powerful. And I got to see his powers first hand and I doubt that was even using his full power, I could sense that he was holding back. If he ever came to this reality he could be a massive threat.”
I then hear Twilight as “What was the spell he put on Starlight?”
“From what he said the spell will paralyze her if she tries to tell anybody about me or humans in general. In the show it was referred to as a curse mark”
To this Rarity says “that is the worst Possible thing” with that she then faints.
I then roll my eyes and say “I have to agree with Rarity on this one, but I can promise you that I will never use that on anypony it's just wrong, it inhumane.”
“Well at least you know right from wrong. Unlike him” Twilight announced.
“yeah anyway listen girls after the day I've had I think I want to just rest at home.” I then turn to Scootaloo and say “I think you might want to see our new home. But I recommend we wait for Rarity to wake up and head back with her and Sweetie Belle”
To this both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo asks “Why?”
“Because we live just across the road”
Seconds later Rarity regains consciousness and Sweetie Belle shouts “Sis did you hear Craig and Scootaloo are moving in across the road from us!”
To this she smiles and says “Craig would you like to help me model some clothes for you”
“I'd normally say no but I know you well enough to know if I don't you will begin to tell me that I must so yes.”
She then says “thank you darling”
“However. If anything comes up you will stop and let me deal with it.”
She then sighs and says “if I must”
I then ask her “would you like to head home together my lady”
“Always a gentlecolt”
I then say to Scootaloo “Lets head home”
I then hear both her and Sweetie Belle say “See you later Applebloom”
Then seconds later I say “we'll see you all later” then with that the four of us leave the barn and begin to walk home.
-5 Minutes later-
Once we reached Carousel Boutique we all went our separate ways only saying bye to each other before entering our own homes.
Once we got inside I turn to Scootaloo and say “here we are”
She then looks around and say “I'm actually in my own home” I then see a tear start to form in her eyes as she continues to say “It' been so long since I haven't slept in a box.”
Seconds later I kneel down next to Scootaloo and hug her then say “I will never make you do that again along as we live. That's a Pinkie Promise” I then stand up and say “I stand up then say “I say we head up to bed we've got busy days tomorrow.”
Scootaloo then “Yes I guess we do”
I then smile and say “Want a lift upstairs?”
“yes”
I then kneel down and pick her up as she begins to rest her head against my arm. I then walk up the stairs past my room and open the next door down the corridor. However when we enter the room I notice that it is completely empty. I then say to Scootaloo “I'm not having you sleep on the floor.” I the rub my head and then continue to say “Would you like to sleep in my room tonight?”
She then looks at me and says “Are you joking? I would love to”
I the laugh and say “sounds like your asking me out on a date” I then smile and say “lets head to my room”
Once we reach my room I walk up to my bed and place Scootaloo down on it. I then place my guitar next to the desk and I then walk back over to the bed and begin to lie down next to her and say “I never dreamt I would have a life like this.” I then turn to her and say “I wish you could have met my family”
To this she looks at me and says “I bet I'll meet them someday”
I then smile and kiss her on the forehead and say “chances are your right. We just need to wait for that day to come”
With that we both climb into the bed, pull the covers over us and we then begin to fall asleep as she rests her head against my chest.
Just before I fall asleep I whisper “Life couldn't be better” i then drift of to sleep.
