What happened?
Chapter 22: What happened?
"How's the leg?" I asked to Arrow who was currently taking me and Button back to school.
"It's fine. Still can't take the bandages off though," Arrow replied.
"I'm still sorry,"
"Don't be, Chance. Besides if it wasn't for you that dragon would be dead," He had a point there. If i didn't do anything F.C would be dead right now so maybe I did some good with my temper. That's a first since every other time has resulted in a lot of people getting hurt, but then again this time it wasn't directly caused by a flashback.
When I think about it maybe I should go see him and apologize for all the trouble I caused him. Would he want to see me though? I mean the only reason he got hurt was because I was using him as a shield. It probably would be a good idea to see him though even if he never wants to see me again. Maybe I should bring him a piece offering.
"Good morning, Chance," Cheerilee said with a bright smile across her face. She was making an effort not to look at Arrow who was standing beside me. After a moment though I noticed Button had latched himself onto her leg. He was holding that leg with a certain look in his eyes and then it hit me. Button had a crush on the teacher!
"Good morning, Cheerilee. How have you been?"
"I've been good. You?"
"Life is a rollercoaster, but right now it's at a mid point." Was my reply before I walked past Cheerilee into the school house. Before I past the threshold however I pried Button off of her leg, much to his disappointment. I'd deal with that situation later, but right now I had to do some simple math problems.
I walked over toward the Cutie Mark Crusaders as they call themselves. I didn't know that until I pieced they shouted that everytime they did something extremely dangerous and stupid. Those were some fun adventures with those guys, whoops I mean girls.
"Bull fighting is totally safe," Scootaloo was saying to her two other friends. They held a 'you are fucking crazy' expression their faces. Sweetie was the first to notice my presence and ushered me over.
"Hey Chance. We were just talking about how to get our cutie marks tomorrow," She said while looking toward the other two who were still arguing over bull fighting and Ninja training. I swear these kids need to chill with what they try doing.
"Wait, Tomorrow? You guys tend to do these thing everyday,"
"Yeah, but today is Twilight time. She helps us learn some skills," Who was Twilight? I knew that there was a princess in town by that name, but it couldn't possibly be her right?
"Alright, what kinds of skills does she teach you all?"
"She helps Scootaloo work on her scooter, Applebloom with alchemy, and she helps me with magic," Wait Magic? That could be useful to me. I'm assuming these kids are similar to me in the sense that these kids also hate people with sticks up their asses so maybe I could talk to Arrow about me learning magic with this Twilight.
"Chance? What are you doing talking to the blank flanks?" Diamond said as she walked into the building. That was strange for her to say since she never said that to me while I didn't have my ass tattoo.
"You mean my friends?"
"How could you be friends with them?" She said with spite in her voice. She was pointing toward them as well, but she seemed to be more focused on Applebloom for some reason.
"They drag me along to try and 'help' me. When that didn't work they offered to let me go pranking with them and BOOM friendship,"
"I wouldn't stay friends with them for long. Especially her!" Diamond said while pointing to Applebloom. She walked away after that leaving all of us confused.
"What was that about?" I asked Applebloom who wasn't looking at any of us. This was weird and diamond had said all of that with such hatred. There was definitely something going on here, but Cheerilee walked in and told us to get to our seats. Whatever is going on I'm going to have to get the story from both Diamond and Applebloom.
"Alright class, it's time I taught you about fractions..." Fuck you school!
After awhile it was once again time to head to recess. Rumble and Pipsqueak asked if me or Button wanted to play knights vs. pirates again, but I was going to try and figure out what Diamond had against the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Button decided to help me by writing down whatever I told him to which would be a great help to me. I'm surprised he hasn't held that poison joke thing against me, but he did seem to be remorseful about poking at my history.
They asked how I knew about those plants and all I told them was to read a little. It's actually funny how much alchemy goes into rituals that open portals. That's beside the point however as I had an investigation to begin.
I saw Diamond and Silver talking beside the swings when me and Button walked over to them. Diamond saw me and said something to Silver before she nodded and walked over to me.
"Diamond doesn't want to talk to you," She said in a snarky voice.
"Too bad. I'm going to speak to her" I said side stepping Silver and making my way toward the swings when Silver got in front of me.
"I said she doesn't want to talk to you!"
"Listen Lap Dog, I just want to speak to one of my friends. If you have a problem with that you can fu-" I remembered she was only a kid"-fudge off!"
I tried moving around her again, but she would just get in front of me again and again. I couldn't get past her until Button walked over to me and whispered into my ear,
"I've got the notes," I was wondering what he was saying when I noticed where he came from. He had been talking to Diamond this entire time while Silver was trying to stop me. I whispered back to him,
"Good job," before turning around and walking away. "So what did you get?"
"Not much, but she did say that her and Applebloom used to be friends,"
"Really? I swear this sounds like a cliche T.V. show episode,"
"Yep," We were ready to go speak to Applebloom when Dinky walked up to us,
"Applebloom said that Diamond was lying," Dinky said.
"About what? Also when did you talk to Applebloom?"
"I don't know. She just pointed yo you saying to tell you Diamond was lying. I was asking what their problem was when I over heard you guys talking."
"I'm not sure whether to be mad at you for eavesdropping or thankful for you saving us time," She was blushing again,
"It was no problem," I gave her a smile before grabbing the notes Button took, and taking Dinky to the side to compile everything.
Button had more than what he let on because it goes into a little more detail than they used to be friends. Apparently Silver, Diamond, and Applebloom all used to be best friends before something happened. Neither of them said what it was that caused them to break apart, but there was one lead that Button was able to get. A filly named Twist was there before whatever it was that broke them up.
"I know Twist. Maybe I can help you," Dinky said while giving me a smile. It would make getting information easier if Twist knew the person asking the questions so I gave her a nod. The smile on her face doubled in size after that. "I wont let you down, Chance!"
"I don't expect you to. Meet me after school and we'll discus how we will go about this."
"Sure thing" We could of gone to speak to Twist during recess, but I took enough of everyone's time so that was why I decided to do the rest after school. Whatever the reason for these two hating each other Twist is the only one that may give a direct answer.

I like it.

So many emotes!
6415354 Yes.
6415369 Maybe.
I kinda want a longer length chapter but eh XD good anyway!
6415401 I try to keep the chapters between 1,500 and 2,500 for people that either don't have the time to read long chapters or people that don't have the attention span. If you want longer chapters I can try to make them just ask.
6415405 Oh no it's okay, I'm fine with these short chapters. It just keeps me waiting for the next, and the next, and the next... keeps me wanting more. lol
6415409 Longer chapters take more time so by giving these shorter ones you don't have to wait as long. In other words I'm already doing what you want.
6415419 Oh. Okay. XD
interesting chapter, it is good to see some of the dynamics in Ponyville School. I understood that Button and Sweaty Bell had a fallout, and now he has a crush on Cheerilee now for some reason. Cheerilee still seem uneasy seeing Arrow, is it a a possible old candle that is trying to come back to her that she shy to start over, or is it a surge of old wounds from the pass.
So Chance is in striking distance to Princes Twilight Sparkle and her crystal castle/ privet library; some how I can't see this going to turn other then an other crisis for Chance the only question is how is this going to go downhill. I could imagine that Chance mite start developing a fear toward the princess after the last big discussion with Arrow. At the very least, Chance would be nerves toward her, that would most probably make him accident prone. And seeing that there was an accident in the Manehattan that he was the cause of. I was surprise to learn that Chance has a basic understanding of Alchemy; this could make things interesting. Library I hate expecting bad luck for him, but I would hope for Chance get a few good pointers from her before she kick him out. It has never clear how what sort of circumstance Chance is willing to use his magic. I known he is willing to use it on inanimate objects and can, at veering degree, control multiples objects at ones, but can unilaterally make the object that he is levitating combustible. I know the castle is made primevally out of crystal; but some how, I know Chance can find a way to make it flammable.
All doe, there is one thing that has confused me a little bit. Why would Chance go out of his way to try and find out what append between Diamond Tiara and Apple Bloom? Even if he is friends with the CMC, he has never rely shown, as far as I known, any real interest in getting knowing any thing more about them, or Diamond Tiara for that matter. What prompted the sodden interest in the the conflict in all of this?
6415566 A few things. Slight spoilers! read at own risk!
1. Button and sweetie never had a falling out. Sweetie has a crush on Button, but Button likes Cheerilee. Future conflict here.
2. You already know Chance is going to do something to burn that castle. It should be a rather interesting chapter when it occurs.
3. He tend not to use magic on ponies for reasons that I will state in a later chapter.
4. Chance is doing something that I see myself and a lot of people do here. He's friends with all of these fillies and doesn't want them fighting. His logic requires the knowledge of what happened in the first place.
5. (insert other thing here to make 5 points)
None of these are major spoilers, but I'm just covering for myself by adding the warning.
So twist knows something, who knows who broke DT SP and AB but it gets me thinking, Moby twist is twisted
could it be?
is it so?
oh, be still my beating heart.
TWIST IS GONNA MAKE AN APPEARANCE!!
so help me if you... look. I really, really, really, really, like twist and think applebloom was a bad friend when she just dropped her like that and that Twist is super fun and nice and doesn't deserve all the hate she gets...
just.... just treat her right, okay?
okay feeling for fillies is over with now
really liking the whole, Cheerilee Arrow "if we ignore our previous relationship maybe it will go away" thing there doing
i really enjoy foal drama... apparently. super excited to see how this plays out.
why dose no one comment on how smart Chance is at math? does he suck at it or something?
one last thing about twist
my head cannon is that twist is the apprentice to Bon Bon. as they both make candy and ponies have to learn form someone right?

6416240 So much to say, or is it so little. so amount to say!
I told you Diamond would have a reason for her attitude at the beginning of the story, you see part of why now. Even if that attitude isn't toward Chance (like everyone expected for some reason). Why no one comments on his math skills is because the foals haven't noticed yet, but Cheerilee might have a few comments later.
Twist does need more love! I don't see her in any fics except for her appearing for one scene, and then forgetting her existence. Also your headcannon there makes perfect sense and gives me an idea. Thank you Radio for giving me an idea for how to pull something off later on.
Since you like Twist have two of her.
6415988 10/10 would write Twist again.
Vat a twist! I know I'm late to the party but I just couldn't help myself...
This really annoys me if he is 18 just fucking explain something that equestria doesn't have from earth!
And what a
it is!

Don't think that's how it works. If that were me I'd rather change my story so that I was a teenager that messed with an age spell and it went wrong, and my foal mind took over most of the time and started spewing nonsense.
The key for having a lie believable is making it grand enough but just a tiny bit within reason.
