//------------------------------// // 'My turn' // Story: What are the odds? // by HikariToYami //------------------------------// "Chilly, I know that you are going to love this. That is all." I wake up in a pile of hay with RD besides me, yeah yesterday was amazing. ‘Oh, so you finally managed to get it?’ Uh yeah, that’s why my wings are healed duh. I kiss RD lightly on the forehead and then stand up and take off the bandages from my wings. I try and flex them and they feel perfectly fine. ‘That’s what amazing healing magic does to you.’ Yeah that is true. I look up at the ceiling and see that there are tree poles you could stand on. I have the perfect prank idea. ‘Do tell.’ You will just have to see. I ascend onto one of the tree poles and stand there. I then begin to make a loud whisper. “Dashie. Oh Dashie. Wake up Dashie.” Dash stirs from her sleep and looks around looking for the sound. “Daaashie wake up.” I whisper again. “Dave, is that you? Where are you?” She looks worried. “Dashie waake uup!” I whisper a bit more loudly. “It’s not funny Dave, just show yourself.” I hop off the tree pole and slowly descend, when I’m only three meters away I let go and fall directly on her. “AAAAAGH!” She screams out in terror. “Gotcha.” I say as I kiss her on the forehead. “How did you do that? Your wings are broken right?” I laugh a bit. “I have no idea either, they just healed. I’m a lucky man I guess.” She smiles and kisses me on the cheek and then jumps out of the hay stack. “Are you still open for that date later today?” I ask seductively. She giggles and looks at me. “Considering your wings now work for some odd reason, yes we are still going to that.” I smile and jump out of the hay stack as well. “When did it start again?” I have no idea, she never told me. “Around 7pm, that’s a long time. But I have no idea what we should do up till then” I nod. “Yeah, that is some time, though I know what I should do.” “And what would that be?” “Nothing important really, just visiting a friend I never really got to know, but we are friends that I know.” She raises an eyebrow; I still don’t understand how that makes sense. “You do that; I will do some more practicing.” Both of our stomachs growl because we haven’t eaten since yesterday. “But first we need something to eat.” I laugh and nod. OK we eat and all that jazz, I don’t care to tell you because what is there to tell, nothing. ‘EXACTLY!’ I am walking through town towards my destination when a certain turquoise pony walks up to me. Why did it have to be her? “Excuse me mister, but if I’m not mistaken you are a human right?” Of course she knows everything. “Uh yeah, what was your name?” “Oh I’m Lyra, and I already know that you are Dave. I have always been interested in humans but I have never seen one, but now that I see you, well, I expected more.” Wow I feel offended here. “What I think is fascinating is your hands, I mean you have FINGERS, whatever they are, so you can grip things a lot easier than and pony and you are also really large and I have so many questi…” Before she says anything else I fly off, not wanting this conversation right now. “Bye Lyra! Talk to you later.” Is all I yell back at her ‘THANK YOU! She was starting to get annoying.’ That’s what I was feeling as well. As I’m flying over Ponyville I notice that I haven’t really looked at the town from the sky and I must say it’s a lot bigger than you would think. ‘That’s what she said.’ OH shut up please. I descend a bit from Chilly’s house, as I walk towards it I hear something. ‘Is that? Oh god it is.’ Is what? I then hear screaming from inside the house as I near it. “PINKIE!!!” Uh what? “CHILLY!!!” Pinkie? “GAAAH!” What is going on here? “AAAAAGGGGHH!!” This is creeping me out. “YOU CAN DO BETTER PINKIE!!” I am starting to feel uncomfortable. “CHILLY YOU ARE SO BAD AT THIS YOURSELF.” Did Pinkie just insult somepony? ‘HAhAHAHAHAHHAHAH! This is so freaking hilarious.’ “MAAAAAAHAHAHHHH!” “GUUUUUUUUAAHAHAHH!” I should probably get out of here. I shouldn’t intrude when it’s private time. I slowly back off and then I fly away. God that was really weird. ‘But hilarious at the same time.’ Yeah, they were really loud. Now what should we do? ‘Oh I know, go to Alex.’ Sounds good. ---------------------------------------Inside Chilly’s house---------------------------------------- “GRAAAAAAAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHH!!!” “I guess you win Chilly.” Chilly allows a smile to appear. “I knew I was the best at screaming.” “It was fun anyway. Do you want to do anything else? I’m bored.” -------------------------------------------Back to Dave--------------------------------------------- I arrive at the carousel boutique and knock on the door. Rarity opens. “Oh, Dave come in, you don’t have to knock you know, this is a store after all.” “I’m just used to knocking on doors where I know people live.” “Well, that’s a good habit. I know why you are here and he is in his room.” I nod and walk upstairs and open the door to his room. I walk in and I notice that it not so empty anymore. How the fuck did he get these thing so fast? “Oh, Dave! You came back, now how did she react to that song my friend?” I smile. “She kissed me. I have a question for you; how the fuck, do you already have all this stuff here? I gave you the money yesterday you are fast.” “Oh but I had already ordered everything I just needed to pay for it.” He says as he smiles. “And can you give me back the phone? I need to transfer and all that stuff. I’m lucky that Equestrian equipment has memory cards because I would be fucked if they hadn’t. And I am happy that it worked out for you.” I give him the Iphone. “Now would you please leave? I need to create, DA MAGICKS!” We both start to laugh hysterically. “I have one last question before I go and that is: I’m entirely sure Rarity wants to hear everything you play when you are in here.” He smiles. “Fun fact, I have got Twilight to cast a sound isolation spell on this room, so there’s your answer.” I nod and walk out again. Why is there no place I am able to stay at for more than five minutes? ‘It’s because everypony hates you.’ Yeah right. I look at the clock tower I didn’t even know existed until I saw it just now. Wow already 4pm? Did we really sleep that long? ‘Maybe you went to bed late?’ Maybe, but it still seems weird. Where should I go now? I’m running out of ideas. ‘You should totally race RD.’ I almost died from that last time so no. ‘That’s why you almost died? HAHAHAHAHAH wow you really suck at this.’ Have I ever mentioned that I hate you? ‘Well I hate you too so the feeling is mutual.’ The only thing good about your idea is that I should totally go and get RD, since the show starts in three hours. I forgot how long it would take to fly there though. As I arrive at Rainbow’s usual training spot I see her lying on the ground looking up and then she notices me and smiles. I Land next to her. “Are you tired or something? I thought you would be practicing.” “I was thinking.” “About what?” She leans in and kisses me on the cheek, again. “You, it’s kind of obvious if you ask me.” “I almost guessed. Now how long would the fly time to Cloudsdale be, because I think we should get to flying soon.” “It should take an hour to fly there I think.” She stands up and I follow her movement. “Should we go now?” “Sounds like a plan.” I smile and we take off towards a direction she chose. ‘Good idea to follow her. You don’t know the way there do you?’ SHUT UP! ‘Problem?’ Yes actually I have a problem with that. ‘Whatever. But I must say I’m surprised.’ About what? ‘You already forgot about me sending you to another world.’ … ‘What?’ If I get my hands on you I will KILL YOU. ‘Hah, you can try.’ And what did Discord mean when he said you created him. ‘… Spoilers.’ …You’re a big fan of doctor who aren’t you? ‘Maybe, but only time will tell.’ You’re never gonna give me a straight answer are you? ‘Where’s the fun in that?’ So wait, you’re only tormenting me because it’s fun? ‘I thought we already established that.’ You son of a bitch. ‘How can I be a son of a bitch when I don’t ever have a mother?’ … You never had a mother? ‘Are you gonna keep asking me about my past or are you gonna go watch the ass that’s in front of you?’ I swear to god you’re a pervert. ‘Takes one to know one.’ So true… God this is so boring, when do we get there? ‘About an hour… Can you let me take over?’ Hell no. ‘Oh come on. I will get you there in ten seconds flat.’ RD sneezes… Did she just sneeze? ‘Hehe yeah. But please, just this once. You let the other guy take over.’ I died. ‘ Pleeease. The moment you want your body back I will return It.’ …just this once? ‘Just this once.’ …Alright, so how do we do this. ‘Just relax and let your mind wonder.’ I stop flying forward and follow his instructions. ‘Good, just a little more.’ “Dave are you coming or not?” ‘Almost there…’ I start losing the feel in my arms and legs. ‘Just a little bit more.’ Up past the stomach and chest to my throat. ‘Finally.’ And finally past my head and through my wings. “Hay Dave, are you there. Hello!” ‘Hay Dave, I just realized something funny.’ What? ‘It’s a Dave within a Dave. Daveception!’ Did you really need to do that? ‘Hell yes. Now for the fun part.’ …fun part? “Hay Rainbow, how about a race?” What are you doing? ‘You’ll see.’ “D-D-Dave… Are you alright?” She stares at me in horror. “Why wouldn’t I be?” “Your eyes are blood red” What? ‘Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Don’t worry it’s only a side effect, nothing dangerous.’ Promise? ‘*sigh* I even Pinke promise, ya happy?’ Very. “It’s nothing to worry about Dash. And don’t be surprised when my wings turn black. Now how about that race?” My wings will turn black? Why? ‘I wanna go all out now when I finally can.’ Am I gonna regret this? ‘…I can’t answer that, but please man, just let me do this this once.’ …Fine. ‘YES. Thanks bro.’ “Why will your wings turn black!? Dave you’re scaring me and that’s NOT cool!” “Maybe not, but it’s awesome” Why did you pronounce *awesome* in a high pitched voice? ‘Because today is gonna be legen, wait for it… Dary’ Dude, not cool. ‘Whatever, now to turn the wings black.’ Do you really need to turn my wings black? ‘No, but it’s cool.’ You’re gonna turn my wings black because it’s cool? ‘You say it like it’s a bad thing. Well whatever here goes.’ He relaxes and focus on the wings, turning them pitch black. “Dude. Awesome, how did you do that?” “Magic *snort* *snort*. Hehehehehe.” Really? You just had to make that reference, didn’t you? ‘Hell yes!’ “I thought you couldn’t use magic.” “Ok how about this, we race to Cloudsdale and watch the show and I will explain everything afterwards, deal?” “…Deal. But are you sure you want to race me? Don’t you remember what happened last time?” “A minor mistake but I’m not going to let that stop me. So are you in or are you a chicken?” Oh she’s not going to like that. ‘Yeah. Maybe I should have said Scootaloo instead of chicken like I planed?’ Oh hahaha very funny. ‘I know right.’ “Oh you’re ON!” She flies next to me. “The town is straight ahead and first to get there wins. Ready?” “Ready.” “Alright. Ready… Set… GO!” She took of moving as fast as she could towards Cloudsdale. Aren’t you going to race? ‘I’m just giving her a head start. Nothing wrong with that.’ I think you’re underestimating her. ‘I think you OVERestimating her.’ Yeah, yeah, are you going to stand around here all day or are you gonna catch up to her. ‘Alright quit your japing I’m going.’ He cracks his knuckles and neck before he gets into a ready stance. ‘Ready or not, here I come.’ He took off so fast the in less than ten seconds a cone started to form in front of him. Are you about to do a sonic rainboom!? ‘No, no, not a sonic rainboom, but a sonic darkness-flash. I go WAY faster that the speed of sound.’ Seriously? ‘Just watch.’ He is almost right behind dash when he finally broke through the sound barrier and flies faster than anything I’ve ever seen, leaving a streak of darkness behind. Dash turns her head around and stares at me in amazement. He flies and grabs her, flying to Cloudsdale in less than five minutes landing with a soft thud. ‘Well, that was fun’ … ‘What?’ How. HOW DID YOU DO THAT? ‘Well you see I fly REALLY fast and…’ I KNOW THAT. ‘Then why did you ask?’ You know what I mean. ‘Yeah I do, but we both know that I will never tell you so just drop it.’ Fine, but I want my body back. ‘Sure.’ He snaps his fingers and I’m back in control of my own body once again and my wings turn back to white and I can only assume that my eyes returned to normal. “Looks like I win Dashie” I say with a smirk. She can only look at me in awe. I sit down and wave my hand in front of her face “Hello, Equestria to Dashie, are you in there?” She finally broke out of her trace and says. “That. Was. AWESOME! I have never gone that fast before; it was even faster than my sonic rainboom. How did you do that? What are you going to call it?” “Um I’m not really sure how I did it but I’m going to call it the sonic darkness-flash. Cool name huh?” “Kind of cheesy if you ask me.” ‘Well I didn’t ask you did I?’ You know she can’t hear you right? ‘I can dream, Harold.’ STOP WITH THE REFERENCES! ‘I like trains.’ …Me too. “Yeah, I know. But since we got here so fast, what do you say we get something to eat? I got REALLY hungry from that race.” My stomach growls. “I can hear that. Follow me, I know a good place where we can eat.” I nod. “Sounds good to me.” "The co-author actually managed to write a bit on this so i hope you enjoyed, Upwards and onwards, ALLONS-Y!"
