//------------------------------// // Chapter 2- Talking horses are real?! // Story: What could go wrong? // by TheOctoWriter //------------------------------// Thomas has fainted again... He wasn't known for being a brave bear. But this was just embarrassing. Not like the ponies would hurt him, would they? He woke up again. "Ughhh..." Thomas said while rubbing his head. He realized that he was still in Ponyville General. Thomas was trying very hard to accept this. You could tell because he started sweating buckets. "So, how are you feeling sir?" Doctor Redline asked. "You talk." Thomas said stunned. "Why yes, that is how ponies communicate with one another." "This is unbelievable." Thomas said with a sigh. "Why is that?" Doctor Redline questioned. "I've woken up in a hospital with talking horses." Thomas said. "Ponies sir, we're ponies." Doctor Redline said, sounding slightly annoyed. "Oh, my bad." Thomas said with a embarrassed laugh. "It's okay. Not every day this hospital gets a patient as strange as you either." Doctor Redline said. "Why's that?" Thomas asked. "You talk." Doctor Redline replied. "What's so strange about that?" Thomas asked slightly hurt. "Bears don't talk in our world." Doctor Redline answered sternly. "Nooooooo!" Thomas yelled out in grief. "I'm getting out of here." Thomas said with determination. "But you haven't filled out your medical records... we don't even know who you are." Doctor Redline replied. "I'm Thomas." Thomas quickly said. "Nice to meet you Thomas, I'm Doctor Redline." Doctor Redline said. "Doctor?" Thomas asked. "Yes Thomas, what do you need?" "Can I go now?" Thomas asked bluntly. "No." Doctor Redline said. "But why?" Thomas whined. "You need to rest. we found you unconscious with three broken ribs." Doctor Redline explained. "Ha ha! Wait... did you say three broken ribs?" Thomas asked with worry. "Yes I did." Doctor Redline said with a smirk. Thomas tried to sit up. "Ow! Ow! Pain!" Thomas said. "Told you so." Doctor Redline said. "Fine... I'll stay in this horse hospital." Thomas grumbled. "We're ponies!" Doctor Redline said as he left the room. Three weeks later. Thomas's first friend was a Pegasus named Swift. Yeah... that's it. Thomas was a little suspicious of this one because he wouldn't even tell him his last name. "Say Swift?" Thomas said. "Yeah Tom?" Swift asked. "What's your last name?" Thomas asked. "Ughhh.... dude." Swift said facehoofing. "I've told you like a hundred times already how do you keep forgetting?" "I dunno." "Exactly." "It's Landing." "Landing?" Thomas said. "Yeah." Swift said. Thomas tried not to pee himself laughing at the name. "Hahaha! Swift Landing!" Thomas said laughing loudly. "Oh yeah?! Well... you don't even have a last name!" Swift said. "I don't..." Thomas said sadly. "Holy sweet celestia on a stick, you don't?!" Swift asked shocked. "No... don't remember my parents giving me one." "I'm sorry dude. I didn't mean-" "Got ya. It's Barington." Thomas said with a smile. "Haha!, yeah dude you got me." Swift said with a laugh. "I'm gonna go grab some grub wanna join me?" Thomas asked. "Sorry dude, but I gotta go back to my room, doctors don't like me flying around with one broken wing." "Alright dude see ya." Thomas said as he waved. "Bye dude." Swift said as he flew back to his room. Thomas went into the cafeteria. He found another one of his friends there. He decide to join him for lunch. "Hey Flashlight! What's up?" Thomas asked as he sit down. "Oh hey Thomas! How you been bro?!" Flashlight yelled Flashlight was one of Thomas's friends in the hospital. He was a light gray unicorn, with a giant orange afro. and a golf ball cutie mark. He looked a bit odd. But overall he was nice, if a little bit too excited at times. "I've been good Flash." Thomas said. "That's good man." Flash said. "Say Tom..." Flash began. "Yeah Flash?" Tom said. "Don't drink the yellow snow!" Flash yelled in a panic. "Umm... dude. You ok?" Thomas asked concerned. "Don't do it man! It's poison!" Flash said as he started foaming at the mouth. "Don't worry bro! I'll get help!" Thomas said. Thomas ran out of the cafeteria into the hallway. "HELP! SOMEPONY HELP FLASHLIGH!" Thomas yelled. Doctors and nurses ran into the cafeteria and sedated Flashlight. The last thing Thomas heard from him was something about not eating the Rainbow colored mushrooms. Later that night. Thomas was woken up by some thumping sounds. "Hey Swift is that you?" Thomas called out into the dark. Thomas got up and started walking down the hall. He saw a lone figure standing there. "Hey dude, can you keep it down I'm trying to-" Thomas's words died in his throat as the pony turned it's head 180 degrees and faced him. "What the [Censored] are you?!" Thomas yelled. "Oh... you really don't recognize me?" The mystery pony asked. "Maybe it's this form." Suddenly the being turned into a very familiar combination of animals. "Discord." Thomas said with shock. "Ding ding ding! A winner is you!" Discord said happily. "So you really wanna get out of here don't you?" Discord said as he wrapped himself around Thomas. "N..No. I don't." Thomas said afraid of what discord would do. Thomas could feel that he was going to lose control of his bowels if Discord didn't let go soon. "Please let go..." Thomas said weakly. "Why should I?" Discord asked. "If you don't I'm gonna make a mess on you." Thomas said. "Oh... how marvelous! I gotta get some popcorn for this." Discord said. "Or maybe some laughy chews." Discord said pondering which one he should get to eat and watch Thomas suffer. Thomas took this opportunity of distraction to carefully try to slip away. He had just dropped to the ground when Discord looked down and noticed him trying to escape. "No running in the halls." Discord said as he lifted a running Thomas with his magic. "LET ME GO!" Thomas yelled. All the commotion caused all the hospital staff to slowly gather around and demand that Discord release Thomas. "Let's go somewhere a little more private hmm." Discord said as he teleported Thomas and himself to the outskirts of Ponyville. Discord let Thomas go. Only to lift him up again with his magic. "See what I meant Thomas, isn't Equestria more fun than that place you call Wyoming?" Discord said with a smirk. "For you maybe!" Thomas yelled back. "I just wanna go home you crazy [Censored]!" Thomas said. "Ahh... It seems we still haven't learned how to respect our elders." Discord said. Discord snapped his fingers once again. This time Thomas was in the middle of the Equestrian Games.
