How Did I Get Here?

Chapter 49: Complications

CHAPTER 49

I was recording a new song, still a little shaken up by what I had done a few hours ago. I still couldn't believe Dashie's answer.

"Yes! Oh yes! You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this, Kyle..."

I smiled, and got back to my music. Life was good.

"DADDY!"

"What the- OOF!" Scoots tackled me, and was jumping up and down on my chest.

"Let's go play Daddy! I wanna go have fun!"

I stood up. "Alright then. Where do you wanna go?"

"To the park! The rest of the Crusaders are there."

"Promise me you won't destroy anything."

"I promise..."

"Good girl. Alright, let's go."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sat on my favorite park bench, watching Scoots play with her friends. They were practicing tree climbing.

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS TREE CLIMBERS, YAY!" They all shouted in unison.

"Oh my goddesses... Don't hurt yourself Scoots!"

"I won't, Daddy!"

I sat there for another ten minutes, when Zephyr flew up to me.

"Kyle, you have to help me."

"What is it, dude?"

"I can't think of what to say to Lil' Fire. I have everything planned, but I just can't think of anything to say to her!"

"Fear not, as I am a wonderful romantic. Alright, so what do you plan to do?"

"Well, we will be eating at a fancy restaurant, and I will have the band play a slow, romantic song. Then, I will take out the bracelet I plan on proposing with, and then... I need something to say."

"Just say what's from your heart."

"So sputter out sheer nervousness."

"Hmm... That could be an issue. Alright, we need to think of something to say..."

We sat on the bench, thinking for a minute or two. A generic idea hit me.

"How about, 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you?'"

"Nah, too cheesy..." Zeph was right.

"Hmmm... How about... Ummm... 'I love you, my little pony. Spend eternity with me.' How does that sound?"

"That could work... Lets see what else we can think of."

"Good idea."

Then, Zeph had an idea.

"How about, 'You are the flame of my life, my passion. I want to be with you, forever.' Is that good?"

"Yeah. Lemme just memorize that, that's a keeper. You've got your idea. Go get her, dude."

Zeph nodded, and smiled. He flew off. "Thanks Kyle!"

"No problem, dude!"

I smiled, and leaned my head back.

"OWWWWWWW!" Scoots screamed in pain. I jolted upwards, and sprinted over to the crumpled orange heap on the ground.

"What happened?"

Apple Bloom was the first to answer. "S-She fell outta th' tree... She was on th' fifth branch..."

I scooped her up, gently. I was trying to move her as little as possible. I looked her over, and noticed that her
leg was bent strangely. It was broken.

"What do you propose I do?" Fluttershy's cottage was too far away, and the hospital was as well.

"Can't you do something?" Sweetie Belle looked like she wanted to help.

"Hmmm... I did teach myself how to heal my own bones if I ever broke them. I don't know if it applies to pony bones... But it's worth a shot."

I took off my jacket and my shirt. I put the jacket back on, as it was REALLY cold out. I grabbed a stick off of the ground, and laid it all out next to Scoots.

"OK, now Scoots, this is going to hurt, but I need to shift your bone back together. Try to be strong."

"O-OK..."

I held both ends of the broken bone, and slowly shifted them back into place. I saw Scoots tear up, but she didn't cry.

I place the stick over the bone, and tied my shirt around it, tightly. That bone wasn't moving at all.

"Alright... Let's get you home, Scoots."

"OK... Thank's, Dad..."

"No problem... Kiddo."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"... AND YOU JUST LET HER CLIMB A TREE LIKE THAT!?!"

"Dashie, please calm down..."

"NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! YOU JUST LET HER GET HURT LIKE THAT! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!"

"It wasn't my fault! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to let her get hurt!" I sat down on the couch, with my head in my hands. I started crying. "I-I'm sorry... I-I c-can't do a-anything right..."

Dashie immediately calmed down when she saw what this whole mess was doing to me. "Hey, don't worry. I'll get Twilight up here, and she can use a spell to fix her leg."

I managed to calm down too. "Alright... But are you sure Twilight is a good idea? Remember the wings...?"

"She's much better at casting on ponies than she is you."

"Makes sense. Alright, let's get her up here tomorrow. Hopefully she can fix Scoots' leg before Hearth Warming."

"Oh, and how goes it with the wedding arrangements?"

"I've got our location reserved, and I have Pinkie getting everything ready. It will all be done in about a week. No peeking..."

"Hmph. Alright."

Dashie walked away, and I leaned back, and sighed.

"The things I do for love..."

I couldn't help but read the last line in Courage the Cowardly dog's voice.

[Rust]

STUPID DOG! YOU DRIVE ME TO DRINK

Funny little chapter. I bet it all blows up in Zephyr's face.

[Zephyr]

80226
wat

Blow up in my... Wat?

[Super]

80228 Not that I want everything to go wrong, please understand

[Royal Brisk]

hehe Now that Dashie is Scootaloo's mom all of a sudden the normal Crusading seems dangerous and enough for her to get mad at someone over. Amazing what parenthood does to a pony. You'd think Dash of all ponies would understand how accidents could happen.

Granted being thrust into parenthood with a ball of energy like Scoots instead of a baby that eventually works it way up to a ball of energy like Scoots.

[Zephyr]

80236

Nonono, I don't understand what are you wanting to say!

[Primordial Deomontus]

80206 yep yer right he always says that i never would of noticed if you didn't say that

[SureFreeD]

Dash is acting like a real mother.

[marcosperezbromg]

It must be hard to teach yourself how to heal your because you can only do that every once in a while that you break your bone
great chapter btw

[Agai_Lazen]

What Zephyr should've said to Spitfire.

[Ice]

Totaly worth the wait.

[Primordial Deomontus]

What? I really want that scene to happen with Zephyr as the singer!

It's from Red Dwarf, a BBC sci-fi comedy. Highly recommended, why isn't it as famous as Doctor Who?

[k12314]

[ThatBastard]

Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo are getting out of character. Fix this in the next chapter onwards.

[k12314]

I know. Lately I have had a case of writers block, but I'll try to stretch things out a bit.

81337

Actually, I think Scootaloo is acting perfectly in character. She is being reckless, and hyperactive. But with Dashie, the reason she is acting different is because of all the things going on. She will adjust whenever things get settled down.

[marcosperezbromg]

a bit of comment war going on between SureFreeD and Darklordcomp

[Windchester]

81912 Don't you remember Raindow dash and kyle, Had intercourse. She might be pregnant and she is having moodswings.

Courage=awesome

80222 CONFOUND THESE PONIES, THEY DRIVE ME TO INSOMNIA!
Seriously, I stayed up all night long reading this

[StatusQo]

sooo much A'WWWWWW's

[catrianheir]

Fuck. I know how that feels. Tell me: does it hurt worse if the bone is pulled back into place quickly or slowly, cause I may have gotten screwed over by that doctor (giggity). When I broke my left arm in second grade I had to go to this small town hospital where the doctors don't give a flying fuck, wait for what felt like 6 hours but was actually around 4(just to get a room), then wait for another 30 minutes for the slow ass doctor to get in, then he just walks in grabs hold of my wrist and elbow, then yanks them without so much as glancing at where the break was; I black out with the sound of my mother gasping and my own screams filling my ears, whilst he (without showing signs of giving even a single fuck) scribbles something on a notepad, and walks out without a word. This happened before lunch. I wake up at one in the freaking morning with my grandmother (she wasn't even there when I passed out, she was in a completely different town) carrying me to her van from some building I have yet to locate. To this day I still have a lingering pain in my arm that rarely lets up, probably due to the fact it didn't heal properly. Luckily that doctor has since been fired.

Anyway good freaking chapter. I love it. All my internets, dollars, pokedollars, bits, pinkie-points, and my soul here take it. I'm not mad I'm just extremely tired and will now go to sleep. I don't have to post this, but I am so ..... yeah no need to acknowledge the existence of this comment, though it would be much appreciated.

Good night. May the moon goddess watch over you.
