//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Acceptance and Living // Story: Zomquestria: Altenate world // by Cyberponychronics //------------------------------// After a couple of hours, Jay stands in front of the new and improved cottage. The cottage looks the same but the environment surrounding the establishment has changed: no small lake, but instead small crops starting to grow. No animal pen, but a small digging spot on the ground with some small building made out of wooden planks. Jay is working on a windmill. As he gets down to drink out of a can with the label 'Energy drink' he's surprised by a familiar voice: ''What are you doing to Fluttershy's old cottage?'' He turns around to see an aged Rainbow Dash with a beautiful mare behind her with the same mane color as Rainbow Dash. Jay says, wondered: ''Dashie, that you? I've seen Flutter already and she didn't age at all. Infinite youth spell, prob.'' Rainbow Dash looks at Jay with a tilted head and a raised eyebrow: ''Dashie? Only my friends call me that.'' Jay sighs. ''Here we go again.'' After telling the story, Dash and the Rainbow mane mare look at Jay as if he's a ghost. ''What?'' ''So you're a human from Earth that came to a different version of Equestria, which is destroyed by these monsers called 'Zomquestrians' ?'' Jay nods. ''That's. So. AWESOME! Undead ponies eating everthing alive!'' Jay turns around, drinks his Energy drink can empty and start making something. The Rainbow mane mare asks: ''What are you building?'' ''Idea from Vinyl Scratch. It's called a Bass Cannon. Saw a clip on Pon-eTube that she used the Bass Cannon to blow away Discord, or something. I build it with a tweak.'' ''What tweak?'' ''ULTIMATE SUBWOOFER BASS BOOST!'' He turns on the bass cannon, which makes the ground literally an earthquake, blowing away everything in it's path. Jay, now wearing pixelated sunglasses, headbangs on the beat, while shouting: ''DUBSTEP ALL THE WAY!'' With the music still raging, Jay keeps hammering the windmill on the beat. After the music is finished, Jay comes down to wire the windmill to a plug in the wall of the Cottage. The two mares lay on the ground, with their manes out of model. ''That's that. Now make the windmill spin.'' Jay pulls a lever and the windmill starts spinning. ''IT'S WORKING! IT'S WORKING!'' Then he notices the two mare laying on the ground. He pull them both up at ones, which makes the rainbow mane mare blush. ''Welp, now you understand the full power of dubstep. What's your name anyway?'' He asks the rainbow mane mare. ''I...um...I'm Lighting Dash.'' Jay is surprised: ''Lightnin' Dash? Are yeh Dashie's lil' sis or something?'' Rainbow Dash shakes her head. ''She my daughter.'' Jay then gets irritated: ''What's it with the Mane 6 and all gettin kids? First that Dimension where everypony turned in corrupted versions of themselves because of Garry's Mod monsters, now everypony gettin kids and all.'' Jay sighs. ''Then again, this is my fate for a long time. Dimensional Travel.'' He turns to Rainbow and Lightning. ''Y'all comin' here now to see the weird unisus pony now? Could ye leave now?'' And that's what the two mare do. A few days later Jay walks over Townsquare, wearing a green and black striped blouse with a lightning bolt on it, and his pixelated sunglasses. He's holding a list of material he needs to finish the mine he's been building. The blouse covers his wings, making him look like a normal unicorn. He sighs. ''Almost done on the listings. Should get mining gems by two days from...'' He walks against a pony he didn't see. While he's still standing, the mare is on the ground. ''Sorry my bad.'' he says, while raising her back on her feet. He then sees it's Lightning Dash. ''No it's okay. Wasn't in this world with my mind.'' ''Guess you were thinking 'bout some pony special to ye, right?'' Lighning then recognize the Texan farmer accent and the voice that says it. ''Jay?'' ''Don't got much time. See ya 'round.'' And he's gone. When Lightning walks towards her friends, her brother says: ''hey sis, what took you so long. Was it that white Stallion again?'' Screwball says: ''Stallion, I thought he was a mare, before he talked. He sounds just like an Apple family member Apple Blossom.'' A greenish pony with dark blonde mane and cutie mark of an apple blossom says: ''There's no white Apple. Why does he talk like us then.'' Thunder Dash, the brother of Lightning Dash, says: ''He's some sort of 'Dimensional traveler', just like your dad, Dinks.'' ''There's something about him. When Screwy and I met him, he was surprised about me being the daughter of whom he called 'Derps'.'' Then Lightning says: ''He is so cool, he has told me a story about fighting cannibalistic ponies and saving.'' ''He said my mother died in that universe. I saw he wasn't lying. He knows our parents in a different way we do.'' In the distance they hear hard noise in the form of thumps. All agree to check it out.
