A Gamer In Equestria: Reborn

by The Dark Brony


Chapter 5 - Today Just Gets Weirder and Weirder

As we made our way back towards the hospital, Rainbow Dash looked at me for a moment.“So…" she said almost nervously, seeming unsure of how to ask before just blurting it out anyway. "Where did you come from?”

“I don’t know… unless you heard of a country called England, it’s not here.”

She then looked at me and said “So you're alone… any family”

“Back home I had a massive family. I had a ton of cousins, grandparents, one brother and my mum and dad… but here… nobody… I'm by myself.”

“Do you have anything to remember them by? Anything at all?” asked Rainbow Dash hopefully.

I then grab my compass from my pocket, open it then say “Well, there is this...” I then flipped open the lid to show her a small image of me and my family.

Rainbow Dash then looked at the image on the back before she asked me “who are they?”

I then smiled and said, “The woman is my mother, the man with black hair is my dad and the other one is my younger brother.”

She then slowly backed away and said “But that's…”

“Dash, is something wrong?”

“No, nothing's wrong… It’s just… your mum and brother look familiar,” she admitted quickly.

“I doubt that you would have seen them, ” I said sadly as I closed the lid of the compass and placed it back in my pocket before I walked on, thinking, What happened to her?


Once we reached the hospital I looked at Dash then said “just go and have them give you a once over, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Rainbow Dash then smiled and said “thanks, Craig, you know you are a good friend, most ponies would have just left me after I attacked you… but you chose to make sure I was okay.”

I then smiled and said, “it was no problem.”

Seconds later we heard a voice shout “Craig! Rainbow Dash!”

I then turn around to see Twilight running towards us and I said “Hey, what's wrong?”

She then glared at me angrily “What is wrong with you… you ran off for no reason.”

Seconds later Rainbow Dash just stepped in front of me and said “Twilight, you have no idea what’s happened to him! he saved my life Twilight I did something stupid and he could have left me to die.”

Twilight then looks at Rainbow Dash in surprise and then said “well how did he save you?”

“He… that is a thing how did you save me?”

I then smiled and simply answered “I used restoration magic.”

Twilight's eyes then twitched as Rainbow Dash begins laughing before Twilight said “magic… you using magic… I doubt that you have no horn!”

I then sighed as I click my fingers as I created a small spark of light between my fingers, I then muttered “this is not possible... that’s the basis for fire based Destruction magic in Skyrim.”

Twilight then screamed “This is not possible… it’s more than not possible it’s impossible… only Unicorn and Alicorn can use magic!”

“I know this makes no sense… my existence in this world makes no sense!” I shouted. “My kind is a myth here Twilight, that's all I am.” I then sighed and looked at Rainbow Dash then said “Rainbow, go and get yourself checked over.”

“Fine… and Twilight I need to talk to you later… it’s important” She then disappeared into the hospital.

Twilight then turned to me and asked me “why did you run?”

I then look down and say “have you heard of Asperger's Syndrome?”

“Yes, it makes it harder for ponies to communicate and interact with others. Why do you ask?”

“I’ve got it… I can’t cope with new people easily… I’m scared of meeting the princess, that's why I ran away.”

Twilight then looks down and says “I didn’t know you had that to deal with… I’m sorry.” She then turns back to me then said “any way the princess is waiting for you”

“Where is she waiting?” I ask Twilight

She then rubs her head then says “at my library… she was expecting that I could keep an eye on you.”

I then smile at her then say “well then… I say we go and see her… don’t want to leave her waiting.”

With that Twilight begins to walk back towards the town before saying “well come on then follow me” with that I begin to smile as I swiftly follow behind her.


As we began to walk back towards the library my heart was pounding as I thought Is this really a good idea?

Twilight then looked towards me before she said “Relax, the princess won’t hurt besides you haven't done anything to cause her to see you as a threat.”

“Are you sure about that? After all, what was your first impression of me like?”

Twilight then looked towards the ground before she muttered “you didn’t have to bring that up.”

I then sigh before turning to Twilight before saying “you know Twilight, I actually respect your opinion of me then… when I arrived in that swamp earlier, I didn’t know anything… I heard two voices but when I looked around they were gone.”

“So did you recognise the voices?” asks Twilight

“No… but they’re the voices I heard when I woke up… I wonder if they brought me here?”

Twilight then sighs before saying “I don’t know… that feels strange for me say”

“well… you never can know everything there’s always more to learn and understand.”

Twilight then smiles at me before she asked me “You sound like you know more than you let on… mind if we have a chat about your kind later on?”

“we’ll see Twilight… we’ll see.”

Twilight then smiled before saying “there it is… my library.”

I then look in front of me to see what appeared to be a large tree before saying “where… all I see is that big tree?”

Twilight then glared at me before she said “that is the library.”

“oops sorry.”

She then laughed before saying “relax, I know you're new here you wouldn’t know that it was the library.”

I then take a deep breath before saying “Okay then… Twilight… I’m going to need some help… I don’t know if I will be able to talk with the Princess without getting scared.”

Twilight then rolled her eyes before saying “she isn’t that bad Craig… you're acting like a little filly.”

I then sighed in defeat before saying “I suppose you're right… but if things go wrong it’s your fault.”

“It won’t Craig” replied Twilight as she walked into the Library with me following slowly behind her as I ducked down so my head didn’t hit my head against the doorframe.


As I looked inside the Library it was as I expected, a small scale version of the library that I had visited many times before back home. The room was surrounded by shelves that were bursting with books of multiple colours but at that moment I didn’t care as I was more fixated on the white alicorn princess in front of me.

I then slowly looked at her as I took a deep breath before I began to bow to the Princess before I slowly stuttered “Hello Princess Celestia.”

She then smiled before she said, “There is no need for such formalities Craig.”

I then look at her before I said “Okay I’m getting annoyed with this.”

“what?” asked Celestia in confusion.

“How did both you and Luna know my name before I told you,” I asked

“We… we can’t tell you.

“Princess, please… I don’t like being left in the dark”

“Craig I… me and my sister made a promise in the past… that's all I can tell you.”

“Fine… I’m sorry about prying into your past… it was insensitive of me to do that” I replied realising what my actions had done.

“It’s fine Craig… you are alone so it would only be natural that you would want answers.”

“It’s not right… I'm sorry… I can’t” I muttered as I began to turn and leave the room

Twilight then shouts “Craig where are you going?”

“A walk… Clear my head.”

“I’ll come with you..” Twilight said hectically

I then put my hand up before saying “alone… I need to think… you know I always admired you Twilight… I suppose I wanted to overcome my problems like you have.”

I then hear her say “what do you mean?” as I slowly leave the library.


As I got farther away from the library I began to think Damn it, Celestia, you know something, something important… how do they know me?

I then look up to the sky to see the almost clear blue sky as I mutter “At least I’ve got the fresh air… that being tampered with by magic talking ponies… this is just weird.”

I then begin to think about exactly what changed as I think Right, I’ve got the strange ability to magically generate any weapon from games or to access abilities from them… so how did this happen?

I then feel I light tapping on the back of my leg before I look behind me to see a bright yellow pegasus with a flowing Pink mane that from what I could see covered its eyes. I then smiled as I realised that this was, in fact, Fluttershy the Element of kindness. I then looked down towards her before saying “umm is everything, okay miss?”

I then see her look down to the ground in fear causing me to sigh before carefully lowering my bags onto the floor and the lying down flat on my back before just looking up to the sky and waiting for her to ask me something before I hear Fluttershy say “Umm… what are you?”

“Well, i’m a Human… I guess a sort of animal that isn’t native to Equestria so you wouldn’t have heard of my kind.”

“Hoomans… Aren’t they a myth mr…”

“It’s pronounced Humans and you can just call me Craig miss… sorry, what is your name?”

"it’s Fluttershy" She whispered so quietly I could barely hear her.

“Sorry, could you repeat that. I didn’t catch your name”

it’s Fluttershy” She whispered even quieter than before.

I then sigh as I say “I’m sorry miss I can’t hear you… but I bet you do have a truly beautiful name”

I then see her begin to blush as she begins to talk normally before saying “it’s not amazing Mr Craig.”

I then begin to smile before saying “Just Craig is fine”

“Fluttershy” she replied with perfect clarity almost like she had the voice of an angel. “my name is Fluttershy”

“Well then Fluttershy, You are an amazing individual… more amazing than me”

“Oh… I think you're very amazing, I mean I haven’t seen any creature like you so your definitely one of a kind.”

“Thank you, Fluttershy.” I then sighed before continue to tell her “actually… I haven't been completely honest with you… you see I already knew you name, I actually know a lot about you and your friends.”

“So you’ve been following us?” She mumbled quietly.

“No… I've not had the chance to follow you… you see this is my first day in Equestria and quite a hectic one at that.” I admitted.

Fluttershy then looked at me before she calmly asked me “what happened?”

“Well woke up in a swamp, walked from wherever I was through a forest to a hill overlooking Ponyville scared Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle by accident, fled into the Everfree as the they followed me causing me to save them from timberwolves then fainted from blood loss after getting them out, met Luna in a dream then woke up strapped down against a bed in the hospital. once I got out I met a certain rainbow-maned menace who tried to kill me and ultimately almost killed herself in the process and caused Twilight to have a breakdown and almost blast me with magic because she thought I attacked Applejack…. Oh and I met Princess Celestia, got annoyed, left then met you.” I recapped.

“Oh, ” she whispered before she continued to say “Is Rainbow Dash okay?”

“She’s fine, she barely made I, though, it was only by a miracle, though… she got lucky that it was me she attacked and not a random stranger, most would have left her or been unable to anything to save her.”

“what do you mean by that?” Asked Fluttershy.

“I know a bit of First Aid… not much and I almost cost her her life for my mistake. I only managed to save her because of whatever happened to me to bring me here.”

“What happened to you?” She asked me.

“Well… I'm not of Equestrian origins and well.” I then clicked my fingers before a small orange light appeared in my hand before I said “I somehow have magic… I used what’s called restoration magic namely an expert level spell called Grand Healing to heal her wounds.”

Fluttershy then began to back away before saying “How… How did you do that?”

I then shrugged my shoulders and the light faded before saying “beats me… I just think of what I’d want and it well happens. In fact, when I was saving the kids I was just thinking I needed to protect them and a sword appeared in my hands.”

“kids… what baby goats have you met?” asked Fluttershy in confusion.

I then sighed before saying “sorry a kid is a name for a human child… so I guess I mean foals, not kids.”

“Oh… still, can all of your kind use magic like that?” asked Fluttershy

“No… at least not like that. where I come from it’s all smoke and mirrors… that's what magic is like where I came from you know tricks, illusions.”

“So like that stagemare… Trixie?” replied Fluttershy.

“who?”

“Oh sorry you wouldn’t know her would you?”

“Not personally no.” I replied before she looked at me in confusion before I say “I know of her but not about her.”

“oh… where did you hear of her.”

I then hear a voice behind me say “Heheardofhimbackhomebeforehegotsenthere.” I then look behind me to see a small pink pony with a bright pink mane that I instantly recognised as Pinkie Pie, The element of laughter.

She then smiled at me before she says “Hii’mPinkiePiebutyoualreadyknowthatfrombeforesameasyouknowallofus.”

I then sigh and say “yes I do know you Pinkie and please talk slower.”

Fluttershy then looked at me in shock before she asked me “how did you understand that?”

“It’s because he’s heard it before” admitted Pinkie Pie.

“Pinkie… I’d prefer you don’t explain how I already know you.”

“But then the readers won’t understand what's going on”

“Readers? What are you on about?”

Pinkie Pie then rolls her eyes before saying “Come on Mr Dark we have the right to know.”

I then look at Fluttershy before saying “Is she smoking something”

“We all gave up trying to work that out a while ago” admitted Fluttershy.

Pinkie then reached up to my side before saying “hey didn’t you come up here to be alone and just play some music?”

I then looked at her before I muttered “rudy physic Pinkie” I then smile and say “That was my plan but I decided to talk to Fluttershy instead.”

“well… come on play something!” shouted Pinkie Pie

“you sure?” I asked nervously.

“You might as well” muttered Fluttershy.

“Okay then… umm, I guess I’ll play a song called Ghost” I stuttered fumbling as I tried to pick my guitar back up before I managed to calm my nerves before I began to sing a cover of Ella Henderson's song Ghost.

Once the song finished I looked at them to see them both applaud me before Pinkie smiled and said “you know that's not a bad interpretation of Ella Henderson's Ghost.”

I then look at her in shock before saying “How did you know the name of an artist from my world?”

“I looked at the script… although a cover of stitches by Shawn Mendes would have been better.” She then looks beside her to nobody then said “Hey Dark get on that.”

I then shook my head before I muttered “just ignore it.” I then looked towards where I had come from to see what looked to be a small group of ponies in the distance.

I then sighed as Pinkie Pie said “Oh come on Craig… give it a shot… besides, I want an encore.”

“Fine… and I'll give you your wish even if this dark guy won’t,” I muttered.

I then see Pinkie smile before she shouts “hey Craig’s going to perform for you”

I then muttered, “I’m not some sort of slave you know.”

“Oh I know.” giggled Pinkie Pie

I the sighed before muttering “okay then here is Stitches by Shawn Mendes.” before I began to strum on the guitars strings.

Once the song finished I began to smile as I everyone look at me in surprise before I looked forward to as I saw both Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo smiled at me before Rainbow Dash said “that could have been at least twenty percent cooler.”

“and you could do better?” I asked her.

“Yeah… it’s not that hard to play the guitar” she retorted.

I then smile and say “Okay then.” I then threw her my guitar as she caught it before I said “Prove it.”

“Umm… no thanks, I'm good,” she replied

Applejack then smiled before saying “So ya’ ain’t able to do it”

“I could…. I… I just don’t want to embarrass him… or open any wounds that were left from my accident earlier.” retorted Rainbow Dash.

I then smiled before saying “ah yes… are you clear after that … I was worried I had left you in a near death position.”

She then rolls her eyes before saying “It would take more than a crash to kill me.”

Celestia then looks at me before saying “do you do anything but save my ponies?”

“It seems like that's all I've been doing since I got here” I agreed.

Twilight then walks up to me before she said “umm… Craig… could I look at the picture of your family… Rainbow Dash said they seemed familiar and that I'd recognise them.”

I then looked at her questionably before saying “if you're sure… but if you damage it any way you will face the consequences”

Twilight then looked at me before she asked me “was that a threat?”

“No that was a warning… it’s got the only picture I have of my family… if I lost it I'd have no way to remember them.”

“Okay Craig I’ll be careful with it”

I then smile before grabbing my compass from my pocket as it is enveloped in a lavender glow as it levitated from my grasp and towards Twilight who muttered “How do I get this thing open?”

I then sigh before grabbing the Compass and turning the lock on the side as it opened before saying “Hope that help Twi”

She then touches the back of her head before saying “uhh… thank you” before looking at the image on the inside.

However, seconds later her magic fluctuates for a seconds before the compass begins to fall before it is surrounded by a yellow glow before it hit the ground as it levitated towards Celestia before she said “Well then… these people they do look similar to something I saw a long... long time ago.”

“Two of them look like the statues in Canterlot gardens” added Twilight.

I then look at her in surprise before saying “wait… what?”

Celestia smiled towards me before saying “An architect modelled two statues in the gardens after some images that he found in some books that depicted mythical creatures, the fact that they look like your family is completely coincidental” before she passed me back the compass which I promptly shut before placing it back in my pocket.

Fluttershy then turns to me before she said “so… where are you living?”

“I’m not…. I've got nowhere to go” I admitted.

I then looked towards Pinkie as she began bouncing up and down before she suggested “What about camping?”

I then looked at her before I said“How much do you know of me?”

“As much as Dark wants me to” Pinkie replied.

“great… well, that would work if…” I said before being cut off by Pinkie Pie.

“You had a tent… like this one” She said as she tossed me a green bag as I looked at her questionably, before opening it to see an orange sheet inside, before she shouted “and these!” as she threw me two more bags.

I then looked back at her before saying “Where did you get these?”

“I found them earlier today.” she admitted before saying “behind some bushes at Froggy Bottom Bogg”

“That's to the south of here… right” I asked her.

“Well more of the south-west but around that yes” explained Twilight before she said, “why?”

“I travelled north when I arrived here, meaning that would have been with me when I arrived… more things I didn't know I had near me.”

“So what’s the plan?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“I find somewhere to pitch the tent and get settled in for the night”

“And leave you out here alone… I don’t think so” replied Twilight.

“So what would you have me do?” I asked her.

Pinkie then said “well there's a lake nearby… we could camp there?”

I then looked up before I said “might as well… not like I've got any other choice.”

Pinkie then quickly said “okaydokielokie… I'm gonna grab a tent then meet you at the lake.” with that she ran off back towards the town.

Rainbow Dash then looked at me before saying “I’ll show you where the lake is.”

Fluttershy then whispered “I’m going to head back home… I need to look after my animals.”

“Well then Fluttershy, I'll hopefully see you later” I replied before she smiled and began to walk towards the Everfree. I then smiled before looking back to Rainbow Dash and saying “lead the way” as I picked up my bags along with all the equipment for the tent.


As we reached the lake I noticed that the area was in an open area and near the water's edge was what appeared to be the charred remains of a fire pit on the ground.

I then slowly walked towards the water's edge before saying “This is a good place to camp and for me to try and understand my powers safely”

Rainbow Dash then looked at me in confusion before asked me “Why?”

“If I use any fire based magic I have water to use to put it out” I explained.

“Fire magic?” asked Celestia before saying “I’d like to see that.”

“I would try it… but I want to get set up and get a fire set up first.” I admitted whilst I opened the bag Pinkie gave me before attempting to put the tent up… and failing as sections just fell apart before I saw the central pole being held in a purple light before muttering “Thanks, Twilight” as I easily managed to put the remaining poles up.

Once that was done I quickly placed a bright orange sheet on the inside that seemed to have connected to the poles which I quickly put together before throwing another sheet over it before I muttered “dammit no hammer.” I then clicked my fingers before a large black and red Warhammer smashed into the floor causing everyone to jump back before I rubbed the back of my head before I said “sorry wrong type of hammer,” before I tried again as a more reasonable smaller hammer appeared that I picked up before I found all the pegs and I started hammering them into the ground.

Once that was done I stepped back to see that the tent was almost perfectly up.

I then opened the front of the tent as I realised that there was a few clips that I had missed on the inside of the tent before I quickly clipped them together before poking my head back out of the tent before saying “looks like I'm set.”

“Well then, looks like I should start getting my tent from my house” replied Twilight before she said, “I’ll be back once I get Spike.”

“Okay then, see you in a bit” With that she disappeared in a purple flash of light that caused me to shield my eyes.

I then looked forwards to see Pinkie bouncing toward us before throwing some large pink sheet forwards before it opened up and fell to the ground as an already set up tent apart from needing to be pegged out.

I then looked at her dumbstruck before she said “what?” as she pegged her tent out, before she said “I’m going to find some firewood, I’ll be back” before she once again disappeared in a puff of smoke as I heard a faint noise that almost sounded like a car in the distance.

I then heard Applejack say “Craig, we’ll be back later… I think we better get a tent if we're joinin’ ya.”

“No problem… See you in a bit.” I replied as Applejack began to walk back down the path that we came through to reach here.

I then climbed out the tent, stood up and said “well… Celestia… thank you for well, not trying to kill me.”

“Why did you think that I would do that?” She asked me.

“I… I thought you would send me to the moon or something… my kind isn't magical I'd die up there… probably instantly and alone.”

She then draped one of her wings over me before she whispered “You had a preconceived idea of me… from before you got here… right.”

“How did you?”

“let's just say you aren’t the first human I've met in your position Craig… but you are the only one who’s still around,” she explained.

“I see… Celestia… thank you for being honest about that,” I replied.

“Why… you're basically alone?”

“like that's new” I admitted before I walked towards the lake as I closed my eyes as white ball of energy appeared in my palm before I open my and thrust my palm forwards as a white stream of what seemed to be icy wind arced from my hand and froze the water below the stream of air. I then quickly closed my hands in shock before the stream just stopped.

I then looked back to Celestia before I said “Don’t ask me how I did that.”

I then heard pinkie shout as she reappeared “Probably some sort of defect in your genes has reacted to the magic that wasn’t present in your world.” As she dropped some wood where the burnt out fire pit was before she asked me “Craig could you light this?”

“No idea… I don’t have a lighter or a match?”

“You have your hands you can use fire-based spells like you used that other spell a second ago.” She remarked.

“But I don’t know how I did that, never mind create a flame,” I argued.

“Maybe your emotions? Depression let you use Ice… maybe anger will create fire?”

“Screw you Pinkie” I moaned before I red ball of energy appeared in my hand before I walked towards the pile of sticks before placing my hand near the pile as the sticks caught fire before I pulled my hand away before I admitted, “Maybe you are right Pinkie… and sorry for shouting at you.”

“It’s okay… at least you know your powers are based off your emotions now” She replied calmly.

“I suppose… although what would the trigger for electricity be?”

“Who knows maybe one day you’ll be able to use your powers in whatever state you are in?” Replied Celestia.

“I suppose… but I need a rest soon… I’m starting to feel weak.” I admitted.

“I guess I need to go back to Canterlot soon as well… I need to deal with the Nobles… I wish they’d be quiet some days.”

“If you ever need someone to scare them a bit just ask… I know they are probably a bunch of jerks and bullies who bribed their way into high positions in the country.”

“I may take you up on that offer.” Joked Celestia before she said, “I hope you manage to fit in here.”

“Thanks, Celestia… Have fun… and give Luna my regards,” I replied with a smile.

“I will… thank you, Craig.” She replied before she spread her wings and flew off.

I then turned to Pinkie before I said “I’m going to have a sleep… when everyone starts getting here shake the tent... that’ll wake me up.”

“Got it… party cannon the tent and wake you up.”

“I really don’t care right now just wake me up in a bit” with that I opened my tent before I climbed inside, zipped the door closed before he fell asleep on the cold hard ground.


-1 hour later-

I slowly began to wake up before I saw what appeared to be the front of a cannon pointing into the tent through the zippered door before I heard a faint hissing noise before the tent was filled with confetti as pinkie shouted “Twilight’s here!”

I then groaned as I spat out some of the confetti that had fallen into my mouth before I muttered “Pinkie I'm up… I’m up.” Before I slowly began to crawl out of the tent as I saw Twilight on the floor laughing with a purple dragon that rolled it’s eyes next to her as I hit my head on the end of the cannon.

“Oops, sorry Craig” giggled Pinkie Pie.

“Don’t worry about it” I admitted to Pinkie.

I then looked to the dragon before I said “Oh sorry kid, I didn’t see you down there… I’m Craig… and if you don’t mind me asking, who are you.”

“Spike, Twilight's assistant… you look… different? What are you?” He asked.

“Well… I’m a human… a lost human at that.”

“Who can perform magic,” chirped out Pinkie Pie.

“Yeah right like he could perform any magic.” Mocked Spike.

“I’d say he can,” said a voice from above me “he saved my life using it.”

“I’d think you’d want less peo… ponies to know about that” I joked.

“Well maybe… I want others to know that you're not going to harm us” Rainbow Dash replied.

“Well then, I guess you're good in my books, So what can you do in terms of magic?” Asked Spike as Twilight pulled out a notepad.

I then shook my head before saying “Well… I can somehow summon high tear enchanted weaponry, can use restoration magic, basic Ice destruction magic and basic fire destruction magic but I don’t have control and using it too much physically drains me from what I can tell.

Twilight then looked at me before saying “So anything else you think you could do?”

“I don’t know” I then stopped and thought maybe I could manage to do one of the Skyrim thu'ums?

I then heard Pinkie ask me, “Craig, what's a thu'um?”

I just looked at her before I said “for god's sake Pinkie did you read my mind? A thu'um also known as a shout is a phrase that is spoken in the language of dragons. These create amazing effects from being able to simply throw my voice to confuse people to changing how I look and making me have the visage of a dragon scales and all.” I then turned to look at Twilight, laughed and said “I bet spike would probably translate them for you.”

Twilight then looks at me with a glint in her eye and asked me “Could you try one?”

To this, I looked at her before I said “I could try one but I don't know if I can even do it”

Applejack and Applebloom then appeared before Applejack said “no 'arm in tryin”

I just looked at them before I sighed and said, “OK I guess there's no arguing with you. I'm going to try one called 'Fire Breath' I recommend that you stand back” at this I point my head towards the sky, close my eyes and then shouted “Yol, Toor, Shul!” as soon as I did a massive red stream of fire launches out of my mouth towards that sky illuminating the whole area.

Once the flame died down I looked towards Twilight as I slowly attempted to regain my breath I then heard a new voice that I hadn't heard yet say “Well darling I have to say that's pretty impressive.”

I then slowly turned around to see Rarity standing behind me along with both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. The first one of them to speak was Scootaloo who said “That was awesome. Do it again”

I then attempted to chuckle however could only manage to whimper “I wish I could.” After this, I slowly collapse to the ground onto my knees coughing. As I quickly see both Applejack and Twilight support my body as they moved me to rest against the base of a tree.

The next thing I heard was Twilight said “Applejack can you get him a drink of water” she then turned to me and said “you'll be fine Craig”

As she said this I turned my head away from her, shut my eyes again and managed to splutter out “Fo, Krah” as I began to feel my burning throat cool down rapidly before I was able to speak a bit more clearly again as I said “remind me never to do that again” before I slipped into unconsciousness.
