Chapter 3: Library's are awkward...
Journal Entry #179

I have been snooping around the town of WoodCreek for around three hours now, and to my surprise, I have found many items to my liking! First off, in the town's Doctor office, I've found the perfect amount of aedpehain to regulate the pony's muscular levels! This will, indeed, come in handy with my anti-rad element. I also found royaehuc stechious imigulators! Can't wait for pony testing on my new drug! I plan to scavenge the stores in a few hours, but first the neighborhood for survivors. I'm going to stop writing here for now, and get back soon.

I found a survivor, only one though. A tiny pegasus colt that seems to be stricken a few notch. I can't comprehend the levels of anxiety he must have been put through, I've seen the dead bodies in his house. Not good, not good at all. I shall take him back to Ponyville as soon as my scavenging time expires! Maybe one of those welly pegasi will take him in as their own, if I may. But if nopony takes him in, I will see about finding a room for him in my own structure. I've always wanted a son!

Present day: August 18, 2589
I spun my head around to catch my bearings of where the I'm at. Obviously so far, I'm on a couch in some sort of library; The books kinda give it away. The cyan pegasus is still fluttering above me and her wings make a slight flapping sound. The awkward silence just added onto the mood as we stared at each other. My eyesight is still blurry, and the back of my head is killing me.
"So ya'll just gonna stare at for 'ternity?" A recognizable voice asked.
An orange colored mare was standing in the doorway that lead into a hall. She reminded me of a cowboy, except for the boy part. The brown western hat was tipped on her blonde hair. When I looked at her, my glare at the pegasus broke and she started to walk up to me slowly, extending out a hoof.
"I really am sorry for that, honest. No hard feelings?" She looked pretty sorry to me, at least, and picked up my hoof in her own, shaking it vigorously as a forced hoof-shake. "I'm Rainbow Dash!" Again, she seem'd like I would know her.
"Uh, yeah, whatever. How long have I been here?"
"Uhhh- umm- all day."
My eyes grew wide, "Seriously? When did you hit me again?"
"This morning." She frowned at the thought.
"And what time is it now?"
"Like ten at night." Her frown grew.
"Damnit! I got to go. Somepony back at home is probably worried." I got up from the couch and walked to the orange pony. "Wheres the door?"
"Ri' over there. Hope Rainbow didn't mess ya' up to bad." She sorried and pointed a hoof at the small wooden door. As soon as I walked out, something tugged at my back, not allowing me to progress.
"Wait a sec, your not mad right?" The rainbow maned pegasus asked with the most forgiving eyes.
"No. If it was an accident then whatever."
"Can I make it up to you in any way?"
"And hows that?"
"I dunno. I'll come up with something!"
"Uh, alright."
"I'll see you around town!"
"Yeah, sure." I walked out into the starry night.

I got home just in time for another crappy dinner that David made. It didn't make my head feel any better after mashing it with the concrete sidewalk, unfortunately. I wish that stupid mare would have kept her wings straight. Miscalculated loop my ass. I'll just go to bed earlier tonight. I began up the stairs, but David called me into the living room. I knew what he was going to ask.
"Where have you been all day? You're usually here from morning till dusk!" He questioned.
"I was hanging around town all day."
"Doing?"
"Visited the Library and some shops. That's it."
"Ok, well I need your help with something." He looked concerned.
"What is it?"
"Another project I've been working on for the last fifteen years."
"And whats it for?"
"It's an cure for radiation! I've gotten the right devices and med compounds to safely inject into a pony!"
"Last time you injected me, I went blind for a month."
"But I still have the fixer that can deplete it, though I'm almost sure if anything does go wrong or not work, the element won't have any effects. It's just not that kind of compounded med." Half the shit he says I can't understand because of my lack of scientific skills.
"Alright, if you say so doc."
He smiled, "Good! Tomorrow at lunch then, we can proceed."
"Whatever. Goodnight."
