//------------------------------// // Chapter Two // Story: A Child in Hooves // by Cringe Queen //------------------------------// A few weeks later, Random walked out of her room Celestia gave her. The princess gave everyone a room to stay in for a month or two. She started walking down the hall when she heard," RANDOM!" She look back to see a blur running at her."AHH!" she yelled as she fell on the ground, Jordan now on her. Joseph quickly ran out of his room. "Oh sh...I mean let me help you up" Joseph says and quickly helps Random and Jordan up " now can someone please explain what you two were doing on the ground at seven in the morning?" "He tackled me," says Random," It's fine thought." "Oh," is all Joseph says. "I'm going to the kitchen for some quick breakfast, if you need me," says Random. "I'll join you," Joseph says with a yawning. "Okay,sounds good," says Random. "Do you want to come Jordan?" The little child nodded. "Well then let's get going," Joseph says and starts to walk down the hallway, but to just have a door suddenly open and hit him in the face. John appears in the door way with a doughnut in hand with one bite in it. "Sorry," he says. "Ouch my god damn face! Watch it!" Joseph says angrily. "I said sorry," John walks back to his room. "I don't need this first thing in the morning," Joseph mumbles walking into the kitchen. Random walks in with Jordan. "Good thing the chef's aren't here," Joseph remarked. "They banned me for a week last time I came in here," says Random. Joseph laughs," I know because you made a big mess with Jordan last time." "Hey, remember I'm still twelve!" says Random. "I'm technically a child, but pre-teen,too!" "I know so I should be cooking or the chef's at least," Joseph says rubbing his eyes in frustration. "I don't care! I was just putting a dish back!" Don't ask how it became a mess. "Sure you were," Joseph says sarcastically. Random ignores him. "Ahem," says Jordan. "If she's twelve, why did you not care she was going? Why did you only worry about me?" "Because I am very mature for my age," Random says. "Ten percent of the time," Joseph remarked. "HEY!" yelled Random. Joseph just laughs harder,"What? It's true!" "Fine, whatever. But I guess it's cause I'm older then ten and at least I volunteered." "I know just take a seat and tell me what you two are hungry for and I'll cook something okay?" "I'll just get a sandwich, I actually have everything in the fridge we brought. So I'll make it later," says Random, sitting down. "I still can't believe the cord still went trough the portal," says Random laughing. "Alright then I'll just make eggs," Joseph says opening the fridge. Random nods. "Wait, what do you want Jordan?" "I guess eggs and maybe some pancakes?" Jordan asked and Joseph nods," Alright, I can do that." "So," says Random," Have you done anything with collect data?" "Yeah but after what they did, I don't like doing it so I'm not giving them much info." "Hey, now that I realized Jordan is now accustomed to what we eat," says Random, looking at Joseph. "Yeah I honestly feel better now that I started eating what humans eat" Jordan said. "Good, good, you need some form of protein to survive. I'm glad you told us about your problem when you did," Joseph says giving Random and Jordan there plates. Random's empty and Jordan's with food on it. "I'll go make my sandwich,' says Random, getting up leaving and quickly comes back with a sandwich on her plate. "That was weird, the sandwich appea-" She looks at Jordan. "You genius, with you my life is going to be ten time easier," Random says, siting down. Joseph just rolls his eyes, "Don't get to carried away with it Random." "I want to," Random say, with her school girl giggle, THAT SHE ABSOLUTELY HATES. "Oh boy" Joseph mumbles and he started eating. Later, Random and Joseph where going to leave. Random went back to her room to change into something better. "Girls..." Joseph thought. "AHHHH YOU LITTLE BRAT!" her door room opened and Jordan walked out, the door shut behind him. "I SWEAR IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN I WILL KILL YOU!" Jordan looked at Joseph. "What what that?" Jordan asked. "What was what?" Joseph said nervously. "She had something on her top," Jordan says. "Errr I think your a little to young ta know." "You'll know when your older," says Random threw the door. "Don't say under the bed, DON'T SAY UNDER THE BED!" she thought. "What were you doing in Random's room Jordan?" Jordan shrugs. "Your gonna see something you'll regret if you keep popping into people's or ponies rooms like that." "Yeah, especially if you come in when I'm in a class, cause I will hurt," says Random, coming out of her room, dressed fully for you who have your head in the gutter. "Glad you could join us Random. I wanted to talk to you anyway." "Oh," Random says. "Yeah I wanted to ask if you know when were supposed to be moved to ponyville." " A month or two, the portal will be moved three after we leave," says Random. "Yeah about leaving" Joseph says rubbing the back of his head " I'm not leaving for obvious reasons. I mean the dimension." "That's going to be in ten years dude, also it's your life, so," Random says, leaning on the wall. "The government probably wants me dead after what I did Random I gotta stay." "Haha, yeah," Random looks at Jordan, then back at the ceiling," Also don't enter my room from eight to five here, okay? I am taking online classes for my education." "Why and how?" "Because I need to learn still, also I don't know, they just did it for me," says Random. "Mmmm, ok, I keep forgetting your still In school." "Ah, there you are Jordan I was looking everywhere for you I got some news!" Celestia says walking to from down the hall. We all look up. "Oh hey Celestia! What's up?" Joseph says waving. "Good morning Joseph, Random how are you two?" "Eh could be better if Twilight would stop sending me letters asking me questions about earth every damn morning," Joseph replies while yawning. "Haha," Random laughs. "Yeah real funny haha," Joseph says sarcastically. "She's still doing that?" Celestia says surprised. "So," Random says awkwardly. "Oh right"-Ahem-" Jordan I've got great news for you dear!" Celestia says with excitement. Everyone looks at her, waiting. "Your starting magic school today!" Random bends down and whispers into Jordan's ear. "Joseph, way isn't he excited?" Celestia says turning to Joseph. "It's school Celestia every kid hates school " Joseph says flatly. Random whispers in Jordan's ear again. "Random what are you whispering to my son?" "Nothing..." "AH! DON'T LET ME MAMMA! SHE SAID IT'S HORRIBLE AND TO NOT DO IT!" yells Jordan. "HEY NO ONE LIKES A SNITCH!" Both Celestia and Joseph glare at Random, "Really, Random, really," Joseph says in disappointment. "I assure you dear that whatever she has told you isn't real okay," Celestia says pulling Jordan into a hug. Random takes a picture for the scrap book she's going to make when she's an old Granny. "Sorry, had too, I missed the 5th graders coming to my school as a field trip, okay?" "Jordan I promise that there's nothing scary about school, okay? Random is just acting crazy," Joseph says and Celestia agrees. "Yes there's nothing wrong." Random makes a silly face. "Your mean Random," Joseph states. "I'm sorry!" "Don't say it to me tell Celestia" Joseph says pointing to Celestia. "Your not my dad," thinks Random. "Sorry, Celestia," Random smiles. "Okay, can we go back to the story?" "Damn it Random only pinkie can break the 4th wall!" "Okay, are you sure it's alright to put him in a public school? I thought you wanted him to be a secret," says Random. "Well somepony told pinkie and word got out, " Celestia glaring at Joseph. "Wow," says Random. "What?!" Joseph says defensively, " I thought pinkie already knew how was I supposed to know she didn't?" "No, just, no,"says Random. "I said sorry, okay, what more do ya want?" Random shakes her head. "Hey how about we stop focusing on me and back to Jordan, " Joseph says changing the subject. "Oh right school...Jordan, let's get you ready dear" Celestia says. "Oh, it's today? I would give my kid like, the week after I told them." says Random. " I wanted it to be a surprise but enough talking for now. Jordan we need to get you ready so come along," Celestia says lightly pushing Jordan. "I'll be in my room setting up Skype for my classes," Random says, leaving. "Well I guess I'll just.....damn I got nothing to do," Joseph mumbles while Celestia and Jordan walk down the hallway. "Sense your not busy why not join me in taking Jordan to school? Just meet us at the front of the castle in....five minutes," Celestia calls back. "Eh ok sounds cool." Five minutes later. Celestia ,Jordan and Joseph get into a carriage, Celestia gives the word and they started to move down the road and towards the school. "So remember to be yourself ,okay Jordan," Celestia says as she fussed with Jordan's hair. The carriage stops and a girls scream can be heard. There was a large band on the door and it opens up to a small girl, who just hit the door obviously, looking at the carriage, surprised.The unicorn had white fur and a wild pink mane. Her and Jordan stared at each other for a good minute before the girl straightened her hair. The girl quickly realizes class is about to start and runs off. Random runs there and stops at the carriage. "Wow..."-pant-"... you already got a..."-pant-" love interest? At four? Gosh kid!" "Did you run all the way here?!" Celestia and Joseph say in unison. "Yes..." says Random. " I thought you were in the middle of your online classes Random?" Celestia asked. "Nah, just setting up Skype, making sure it works. But, really, Jordan? A love interest now?"Random says, Jordan shrugs. "Ha, now things have gotten interesting! I thought it would take longer for a pony to get a crush on Jordan," Joseph says. "I have no clue what's happening," says Jordan. "You'll understand when your older little dude," Joseph says laughing lightly. "Well let's get you to class Jordan," Celestia says stepping out of the carriage with Jordan and 20 Guards quickly take up positions around them. "Okay, got to go back to the castle," random sighs, turns around and starts walking. "Why don't you just wait in the carriage with Joseph until I get back ?" Celestia asked. "I rather walk, it's going to be the most exercise I've done all my life," says Random. Certainly ,Jordan and Random hear Joseph start to laugh from inside the carriage.
