//------------------------------// // The quest for the... // Story: What are the odds? // by HikariToYami //------------------------------// Nah, it’s probably just me missing the people from home. We walk into the library, without knocking might I add. We see Twilight is doing her normal librarian stuff like putting books where they belong and stuff. She stops in her tracks and look over at us. “Oh, I see you brought Star back, he wouldn’t leave your side, so thanks. I will take him to his room so can you take his stuffed dog Sparky, it’s over in that corner.” She point’s towards a stuffed dog and I chuckle for a bit. “What’s so funny?” She looks at me weirdly. “Nothing special, it was just that a friend from home had a dog called Sparky.” Twilight and Rainbow chuckle at that. “Yeah when you say it like that, it does sound pretty funny.” *Boring humor, seriously.* Well it’s just a funny coincidence is all. *Yeah… Coincidence…* Ok… What’s with that tone? *Nothing…* RIIIIGHT… “Dave, I’m going to go and practice and stuff because I am really out of shape so see you later.” She did stay at the hospital with me… “No problem Dashie, see you later!” I smile at her and she smiles back and she then walks out the door or should I say fly? Anyway I walk up with Twilight up to Star’s room and place Sparky in his grip; I still can’t believe its name is Sparky. I say my goodbyes to Twilight and walk outside… Now what should I do? Oh yeah, Alex wanted to talk to me about something, I wonder what it was? Sounds like a plan, I’m going to visit Alex! *Fun fact, he was also very worried.* Well duh, he is my best friend you know. I am walking towards the boutique when I see Forge walking towards me. “What’s up Forge?” He looks up. “The sky?” Seriously, what is up with ponies and that phrase? *The sky?* Just shut up… “OK… Anyway what are you doing here, shouldn’t you be working?” He shakes his head. “Nope, I was here to give you your pay.” Why? “I have been sick, I shouldn’t get paid.” He chuckles. “Nah, see it as a gift. And besides, I think you need the money.” Uhm again why? He gives me the pouch with the bits. So now I almost have 5000 bits? *Pretty much.* Seems legit. “Uhm... Thanks then.” “No problem man. Though could you come and visit on Sunday? I need your help with something.” He blushes a bit. Why is he blushing? *STOP ASKING ME!* Sorry… GEE. “Ok sure, I would be glad to help you out.” He smiles and walks away. I wonder what it is he wants help with. *Yeah, me too.* Ok let’s get to the boutique! I arrive at Carousel boutique five minutes later. I knock on the door expecting Rarity to open, but it’s Alex. “What brings you here Dave?” He asks. “Nothing much, I was just thinking that since you were wondering something the day before I got knocked out. So I got here now to check what that thing was.” He slowly nods and shows me in. “Yeah… THAT thing, just follow me.” He shows me up the stairs into a room. “So I guess this is your room.” He nods. This room is weird, it’s so empty, the only thing it has is a bed though the color is purple which does not fit in what so ever. “Why do you only have a bed in here?” I ask him. “Yeah… About that… I don’t really have a job right now and well I need equipment to do stuff, but I have something so show you first.” He jumps on his bed and takes up something from behind it. Wait is that? My jaw drops. “Is that a freaking Iphone? How the heck did you get that here?” He laughs. “The only thing I got to bring to Equestria actually, I haven’t had time to show it to you yet, but it has all the stuff it had from before I got here.” That is a HUGE amount of stuff considering his MEGA memory card that could contain like 80 gigs of stuff. “And yes, all the songs are there, funny how all of them are made by bronies though. Oh and I also have pictures on it.” “Heh, can I take a look, just for the sake of nostalgia.” “Sure here you go.” He hands it over to me and I sit on the bed looking through the pictures. “Hah that was fun times. That zoo prank is still so funny.” Wait what is this? How do you zoom in on these again?” “Let me show you.” He takes the Iphone and somehow zooms in. “Ok let me try then.” I zoom in to see… “Omg, can you see that?” He looks at it and his jaw literally drops to the floor. I mean he fell forward. “That’s why Star seemed so fucking familiar. He’s a freaking look-alike of Damian’s OC. How does this make any sense?” *Coincidence?* Probably, but still really creepy. Wait… He also has a stuffed dog called Sparky? This is uncanny, either it’s a REALLY big coincidence or there is something fishy about this. “Ok, that is just creepy.” Alex nods in agreement. “You don’t think…” “I don’t know, But if you and I are here than anything is possible. Ok, on ANOTHER NOTE, I need your help to extract the music from this onto sellable stuff. Because I thought that these artists don’t exist in Equestria so how could they sue me for using it?” I am so proud of Alex for some reason. “That is so true, what do you need my help with though?” He walks over to the window and looks outside. “I need financial help to start this up; something like 1000 bits should be enough to start up.” I clap him on the back and smile. “Sure thing buddy, you can borrow that amount I just need a favor from you first.” He looks at me and tilt his head. “I saw that on the phone you had a song I wanted to show to RD so I was thinking if I could borrow it for today.” He smiles. And I take out 1000 bits and give them to him. “And here’s the money, don’t spent it all in one place.” Then we both chuckle. “Sure you can borrow it for today, and thank you for the loan Dave.” He walks over to the bed again and get’s out some earphones. “You should probably use these though.” I smile and take them. “That was all I wanted to talk about, so what now?” “I have no idea, but you don’t mind if I go and find RD now do you?” He shakes his head and smiles at me. “Bye, see you later.” I then walk out of the room and back downstairs and then finally outside. Ok where was RD again? *Training I would presume.* Oh yeah, I forgot she even said that. I see that the sun is about to go down. Huh what time is it? *I have no clue, but don’t care about that, go and find RD so she can kiss you already.* I am so totally getting this done today. I walk towards the fields where I know that RD usually trains. I arrive and I she her doing flips and barrel rolls and all that jazz. She notices me, and she flies down. “I see you are admiring my flying skills Dave.” I smile slightly. “Yeah, you really are a great flier Dashie. I really have nothing left to do today, but would you mind to follow me to the farm? I really have no idea on how to get there actually, and when we get there, I have something I want to show you as well.” She perks up. “Ok, then just follow me and we will get there before you know it.” I follow her and we actually got to the farm really fast. We walk over to the barn and open the door to see it really pimped out, wait is that a TV? “I did not know you had TV’s.” “What I’m wondering is why all this stuff is here. Oh look a note.” She picks it up and gives it to me. Ok weird note, it’s pretty much saying that she wanted me to feel at home so she pimped the hell out of this place. “Uh ok? So I can watch movies I guess.” I slam myself down in a pile of hay. RD looks over to me and speaks up. “You told me you had something you wanted to show me?” I smile and pick up the Iphone. “And what is that supposed to be?” She looks really confused as to what it is. “Oh, it’s a thing I borrowed from Nova to show you something I asked him to make. And I wanted you to hear it.” Now she looks even more confused. I just want to clarify this. This music is not in any way made by me or Alex, it is just us being the jerks that we are and using other people’s music for our own gain. I don’t think they would mind though, considering they don’t exist in Equestria. I just wanted to clear that out. *You are really starting to sound like a fourth wall breaker.* A what now? *Oh it’s nothing really, just me being silly.* Sure thing. “HEAR it? What can that thing do?” I smile smugly. “It’s used to listen to music among other things. Just put this in your ear and I will put on the song I wanted you to hear.” I give her one of the earphones and she despite not understanding it puts it in her ear. “Now sit down and I will show you the song.” She slams down into the hay right next to me and I put on the song: Loyalty by Acousticbrony and Mandopony. We sit there for the duration of the song and her eyes almost get filled with tears. “Was that song about me?” She manages to get forth. I just smile and nod. She then hugs me. “That was amazing, thanks for showing me that, it was amazing.” She then kisses me on the cheek; wait she kissed doesn’t that mean? *SHIT! You actually managed it, I can’t fucking believe it was that easy, I should make it harder next time, though I did promise you it so here we go.* I feel my wings getting stronger. Fuck yes they are healed mother buckers! I just continue to hug her. “Does this make us…” “Yes I think it does, now do you want to watch a movie?” “Yeah, that would be totally awesome.” I then walk over to the TV and look at the movies presented. I show them all to Rainbow. “Oh pick ‘Daring Do and the Final Crusadering’ it’s really good.” That is just a bad pun… it’s probably just a normal bad reference. *I have to see this now.* Yeah, I think it’s going to be bad as well… Ok I was really wrong about that film, the only thing that reminded me of Indiana Jones except for the name was Daring herself, the rest of the movie was truly amazing and what you would expect I give it 9/10 just to not call it perfect because nothing is perfect. *That film was hilarious.* You are right on that note my friend. “Ok, that was totally awesome.” “I told you so didn’t I?” “I guess you did. Now I want to sleep, care to join me?” She smiles. “Since it’s pretty much official now, then yes of course I want to.” Ok, best moment of my life right there. I am so fucking happy I could just explode from happiness, but that would be bad considering I would die from that… That sounded awfully a lot like something Pinkie would say. “Before we go to bed, want to hear the song again?” She nods and I give her one of the earphones again. I look through the phone and. “What is Star doing in that thing?” Oh god she saw the picture. “I have no idea actually, but let’s ignore that for now and listen to the song.” We lie in the hay and listen to the song, when it ends I put the phone down and she kisses me again and I fall to sleep. Yeah, this truly was an amazing day. "Was it good or bad? I want to know, and god i fucking love that song. Oh and we just broke the 50k mark :) I am happy!"
