//------------------------------// // Chapter Fourteen // Story: The Canadian Brony // by Biglaw //------------------------------// Chapter Fourteen I felt myself on the ground, in the middle of a field, where I saw Dash with a filly, whom was a pegasus. "Dash!" I shouted out, but she didn't respond. Instead, she looked over to the male pegasus, and kissed him. "Dash! Can you hear me?" I yelled, but to no response. "Momma, where did daddy go?" the filly asked Dash "I'll tell you later. When you're older." Dash said with a grim look on her face. "Okay momma. Maybe we could get some ice cream! That would be fun!" The filly said happily. "Alright then Snow, I think some ice cream would be cool." Dash said. "Wait! Dashie! I'm here! Can't you see?" I yelled, teary eyed. Dash begun to walk in another direction, and they were gone. "Why did you leave me?" I shouted, and a grey fog consumed me. I couldn't breathe, and I blacked out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Bolt! You okay?" Dash said worryingly. "Uhhn, yeah. I'm cool." I said "No, you aren't cool. You were kicking in your sleep, and were crying. What in Equestria could be bothering you?" Dash said, insisting on knowing what was going on. "Listen, Dashie, I'll tell you on the train. We gotta be there soon anyways, right?" I said, trying to delay the conversation. "Alright then, we'd better hurry." Dash replied. I gave her a kiss on the cheek, and we flew out the front door. "So Dashie, sorry about last night." I said. "Sorry? About what?" "Me, you know, kicking and all that stuff." "It's alright Bolt, all ponies have nightmares." "Who said I was having a nightmare?" "Nopony, just seemed like you were having one." "Listen Dashie, remember what we agreed on?" "Yeah Bolt, I do." "Then, how about a race to Twilight's? Loser has to hug the winner." "It's on, prepare to hug." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dash and I instantly picked up speed, and the both of us were equally matched. "For a newbie, you're pretty good!" Dash complimented. "I know I am, but how about you?" I taunted. "Eat my rainbow!" Dash shouted, as a cone began to form around her. "Oh no you don't!" I shouted, as I began to go faster to match Dash's speed. The both of us were going at blinding speeds, and we both heard the distinct crack. We both looked at each other, and we shook our heads in approval of what we both did. We both did a sonic rainboom, and we both were going at supersonic speeds towards Twilight's place. "Oh man I gotta stop!" I thought. I looked at Dash, and I lifted my hoof back to try and signal her to slow down, but she kept going. "Dash! Slow down!" I yelled. It was useless though. She was going faster than sound. "I gotta stop her. Now!" I thought, and I flew towards her, and gave her a bear hug. "Bolt! Stop it! Unless you quit!" Dash shouted. "I quit! Now slow down!" I shouted, as the both of us were on a collision course with the library. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The two of us opened up our wings as wide as they could go, and we slowed down significantly, but not enough to stop the crash. "Hold onto me!" I yelled to Dash. She nodded, and she hugged me as tight as she could. I rolled the two of us, so that I was on the bottom, and we both hit the tree. "What was that?" Twilight asked after hearing the large thump. "Hey... Twilight... Mind giving us a hoof?" I asked through a window. "Oh my gosh! I'll get you straight down!" Twilight shouted, and used her magic to levitate the two of us into the library. "Thanks a bunch." Dash said with a smile, but then she looked down at me in horror. "Bolt! Oh my gosh!" Twilight exclaimed. Spike heard the commotion, and entered the room. "Hey Twi what's with the yell- Oh man Bolt!" Spike said in shock. "Ugghh, what happened to me this time?" I groaned. "It's... Your wings. They're broken!" Dash said in horror. "Oh no, what are we going to do? Celestia wanted to meet us, and you're wings are in no condition for flying!" Twilight said, while pacing back and forth. "Well, I can walk, can't I?" I asked, as I tried to take a step, I felt a sharp pain run up my front right hoof. "Agggh! That is a definite no!" I said in pain. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Twi! Can't you do something?" Dash exclaimed. "Yeah, the doctors used some magic, and they fixed me up! Which most of me was broken." I realized. "Yeah, that's right! Spike!" "Yeah Twi?" "Get my book on healing magic, and put it in my saddlebag." "On it!" After Spike went to get the book, all the others made it to the library. "We're going to Canterlot! We're going to Canterlot!" Pinkie chanted. "Pinkie, umm, do you see Bolt here?" Fluttershy asked quietly "Hmmmm.... Nope! I wonder where he is?" Pinkie said, as she began to pull out a tweed hat. "Everypony, I'm in here." I mumbled. Everypony walked into the room, and they all gasped. "Bolt! Darling! How did this happen to you?" Rarity said in a worried tone of voice. "Well, me and Dash were-" "Your mane! And your wings are a complete mess!" Rarity exclaimed. Everypony facehoofed. "Oh, that's not the issue?" Rarity asked. Everypony nodded, and pointed at my wings and hoof. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So, how do I get to the train station?" I asked "Well, I'm sure that I could use my magic to get you there." Twilight replied. "So, Bolt, care ta explain what in tarnation 'appened to ya?" Applejack asked. Everypony started to walk to the library, while I was levitated by Twilight's magic, and I began to tell them how it happened. "Me and Dash decided we wanted to race to Twilight's..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "And that's how Equestria was made!" Pinkie exclaimed. Everypony looked at her with an confused look, and we all were nearing the train station. "Oh hey Pinkie?" I asked. "Yes Bolt?" "Did you bring the cupcakes?" "Yup! They're my special recipe!" Pinkie exclaimed, and she opened her saddlebag, revealing cupcakes with rainbow icing. "What's the flavor?" Pinkie's eye twitched, and she said "They're my special secret." I remembered when I was a human, I read the fan fiction "Cupcakes" and I immediately looked over to Dash. "Good, she's still here." I thought, as we approached the station. "Hello there! I believe you must be Twilight Sparkle." The conductor said with a smile. "That's me! We're here for the train to Canterlot." "Then get on! We're about to leave!" The conductor said, as the steam whistle blew. Everypony got on the train, and we set off towards Canterlot. "Alright Bolt, just lie down, and relax. I'll be using this spell for most of the way there." Twilight said. "Alright, thanks for doing this for me." "Isn't that what friends do?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight was doing an incredible job on the spell, because by the time we were half way there, everything was feeling a lot better. "Wow Twilight! You did a good job! Perhaps you should become a doctor!" I complimented. Twilight blushed. "I think I'm alright with being in the Library." I felt my stomach growl. I considered eating one of Pinkie's cupcakes, but I decided against it. "Hey there everypony, I'm gonna grab something from the food car. I would have a cupcake, but sugar doesn't agree with me too much before noon." I lied. Everypony nodded, and I began to head out towards the food car. Applejack followed suit, and we both ended up in the car. "Oh, uh, hi there Applejack! What're you doing in here?" I asked nervously. "Listen sugar cube, ah can spot a lie from a mile away. Why don't ya wan't any cupcakes?" Applejack asked. "Oh God, how can I say that I read cupcakes? Wait, idea!" "You see, last night, I had a nightmare." I half-lied. "What was it about sugar cube? Ya can tell me." Applejack said worryingly. "Well, I had a dream that Pinkie wasn't really Pinkie, she had flat hair, and her eyes were all twitchy. She had Flare Chaser all tied up, and turned him into cupcakes!" I said into her ear. "Mah, that's awful! I don't think good ol' Pinkie would do that, but, if ya want ta eat somethin' else, I ain't stoppin' ya." Applejack replied. Applejack gave me a smile, and walked back to the car where the others were. "Waiter?" "Yes good sir?" "Eight daisy sandwiches please!"
