//------------------------------// // Just dancin in the rain. // Story: Dewott Just happened? // by Jonny Bench //------------------------------// The next day, I wake up happily within the confines of my little underwater home. Groggily I walk over to the entrance of my home, and jump into the water that leads to the outside world. I swim for a while to wake up and start to make plans for my day. "Alright, I want to explore the town, but how can I do it without any of the ponies seeing me?" I say to myself as I catch and eat a fish for my breakfast. Suddenly I get a feeling that reminds me of when I used a TM on myself. "Wait, I gain experience from catching fish? I guess it's similar to what happens when people eat magikarp in the games and the show. Well, that was convenient, what move did I get?" I say to myself while trying to figure out the move that I had apparently just learned. I try making different motions to get the move to work until I finally end up spinning around, and sitting down. When I think things can't get much more annoying, it starts to rain. "Really, out of all the moves I could have learned, i got rain dance? How is that supposed to help me check out the town, keep ponies in doors until the sudden rain storm ends?" I say to myself sarcasticly until I realized I had just found the solution to my problem, "I can catch all the ponies in an unexpected rainstorm, get them to go inside, and then I can explore without having to worry about a pony seeing me! That's brilliant!" I start to cautiously walk towards the town while making sur that none of the ponies that I pass by notice me. Once I get to the edge of town, I use rain dance, and just like I predicted, all the ponies go running towards their houses. Once I am sure that they are all indoors, I walk out from my current hiding spot, and start to have a look at all of the different buildings. They all look like houses from back home before I was teleported here except for a few odd ones, like a giant castle made out of crystal and what looks like a house made out of ginger bread, that has the most heavenly aroma coming from inside it. I decide to walk by the gingerbread house just to see what's going on inside, but as I do I heard the sound of voices coming from inside. I go to look in the window, and I am met with the face of a neon pink pony that has the widest smile I have ever seen. I panic, scream and start to run as fast as my legs can carry me. That was a big mistake because the door to the house bursts open, and a group of six ponies comes running out, watch one of them shouting "Hey, you stop!"
