//------------------------------// // Food // Story: when slenderman left me in paradise // by Jimbob //------------------------------// [Knight] {Me} {Oh this is so going to hurt} I shut my eyes as the chest slow motion fell towards me. I threw my hands up to shield my head and waited for the impact. It never came; I looked up and saw several black tendrils surrounding the box inches away from my face. I blanched, I hadn’t ordered them to stop it not that I was complaining but still the idea of my powers taking on a life of their own was worrying to say the least. I had the tendrils put the chest next to me when a concerned looking Applebloom jumped through the hole and landed on my gut. “OOF!” “Jake! Are you okay?” I began to rub my stomach which I was pretty sure had imploded from the impact. “Why would you jump on me? Do I look like a mattress?” she jumped off me and kicked some dirt around “Sorry I just thought you might be hurt.” “I’ll live” I stood up ignoring the groaning coming from my stomach “Come on, I may have told Applejack I was planning on staying at the farm.” We walked back towards the farm house at a quicker pace. I stepped onto the porch and was assaulted by a barrage of smells. My mouth began to water even though I knew there would be no meat. I walked inside and headed towards where the kitchen was when I heard some voices. “Well just hope he don’t turn on you like he did the Queen of the Changelings” Applejack said in a half joking tone. I walked into the kitchen with Applebloom in tow; Applejack turned towards me and gave me a scowl “Ah thought Ah said to stay here” “I’m easily distracted” I shrugged and gave her my best ‘deal with it’ look “Ah can tell” she rolled her eyes and nudged Big Mac “Sorry Mr. Jake I wasn’t thinking clearly when I hit you; I was just concerned about family.” That is probably the most I have ever heard Big Mac say “No prob, but I advise not doing it again” he gulped while I chuckled on the inside. “Foods done!” I looked over at Granny who was bringing several large plates filled with apple related foods. If my mouth had been watering before now it was full on waterfall; there were pies, fritters, and best of all muffins! And oh my god it was AWESOME! I ate and ate and ate until my stomach felt like it was going to explode and then I ate some more because you gotta show the food what's what. After I stopped inhaling the food I looked up and saw everypony staring at me. “Is there something on my face?” Applebloom spoke up “You ate as much as Big Mac” “Ooookkkkaaaayy” “Nopony could ever eat as much as Big Mac, not even Applejack!” “Yes well humans tend to eat, a lot” I rubbed my stomach contentedly and looked out the window and holy shit it’s night time. I looked over at Applebloom who was attempting to stay awake; I chuckled lightly and stood up. “Well thank you for the great meal Granny but it’s getting late and I’m need to get back home” she smiled and nodded “Feel free to drop by anytime you want, I still need to fatten you up a bit.” “I might take you up on that” I said my goodbyes to Big Mac and AJ while Granny took Applebloom to her bed. I head out into the chilly night while wondering what season it was when Cinisavis landed on my shoulder. “You missed a helluva meal my friend.” He crowed curiously “Of course I saved you some” I pulled out a fritter I had saved and handed it over to him. He dug in greedily and I wiped some crumbs of my coat. I eventually reached my house, FYI walking through a dead silent Ponyville is creepy, and went inside to warm up a bit. Well actually I just caught my hands on fire and rubbed my feet, slowly I began to make my way upstairs and I finally collapsed in bed with Cinisavis not far behind me. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I woke up too birds chirping, then I decided I hate birds and chirping. I groggily stumbled out of bed and towards the bathroom. A quick shower later I was in the kitchen making some toast and eggs well until I heard the frantic knock on the front door. I sighed {Is one normal day to much to ask for?} [You have shadow powers and have been appointed Equestrian protector by the Greek Gods, so yes] I walked over to the door “ALRIGHT! I’m coming! Jeez” I opened the door and saw a frantic Doctor standing there “Oh morning Doc, what's up?” instead of answering me he began pushing me out the door while yelling something “Ditzy! Cybermen! TARDIS NOW!” I was so confused I almost didn’t register when Cinisavis landed on my shoulder “Doc calm down and talk to me.” “No time! We have to go help Ditzy now!” he continued pushing me towards a familiar looking blue box. “No way” I muttered to myself as he pushed me inside. I looked over the tardis in all her glory; everything seemed exactly how it had in the show. Well a ponyfied doctor operating the thing was new but you get the idea. “DOC! What the hell are we doing?” he didn’t bother looking up as he continued to play around with levers and buttons. “Short version; Ditzy and I were trying to go back and watch a lunar eclipse, very rare here apparently, but something went wrong somehow we only went back fifteen years and so. But that’s not the worst of it, somehow Cybermen followed me here and they managed to capture Ditzy, that’s why I need you!” “What good will I be?” “Shadow powers and all that other nonsense now come on we’re off!” he threw down a large lever and suddenly the whole room began to shake, and then it hit me; I was time traveling with the Doctor! My life is win, I mean sure I’m only going to save somepony else but hey I guess that means the Doctor needs me. Strangely the last thought going through my mind before the box completely disappeared was; I hope I turned the stove off.’ A/N: not sure if I'm gonna stick with this arc or I might delay it......... lemme know what you think
