chapter 22: A Dutch lullaby

Author's Note:

Bamboozled again!:
causing cancer has never been this easy!

Also have fun with translating!

We went over to the stage at a brisk pace and a giant crowd was waiting for the show to start. I sat down so other people could see the show,

"what's this?"

"I think it's a magic show"

"isn't that kinda redundant?"

"It's magic. It makes everything redundant. Even itself"

Twilight snuck off to the front because she saw her friends. We couldn't hear the show very well from the back but when the pony dressed up kinda like a wizard showed up it was pretty intreging. Eventually it looked like the pony on the stage was arguing with somebody up front and she let go of a curtain that was hiding a cage... With nothing in it. The crowd went wild over the empty cage and this confused me quite a bit.

"uh why are they cheering? It's just an empty cage."

"I have no idea"

"let's get closer. Maybe it's something up close?"

I stood up and we pushed our way to the front where, surprise surprise, The cage was still empty. We then saw the mane six crowding around rarity. Who promptly ran off with green hair and spike in hot pursuit (swigity swooty).

"Woah! What happened?"

"twilight. You ok?"

"yep! E-Everything is fine!"

She was lying.

"you disappoint me ponyvill. Can anypony better the great an-"

It was then that she spotted me and Clyde. A big smile appeared on her face and all I could say was it was a look that really only appears on one hell of a good day.

"you two look interesting, perhaps the great and powerful T-"

"No"

"what?"

"No I don't want to go around in a little cage and play music against my will. Nope"

"but you haven't heard my full offer"

I covered Scootaloo's ears

"Listen miss great and powerful. I am a living and thinking individual, you, miss, are just a cunt."

She was blushing having been embarrassed

"HAHAHA! I'm kidding! I'm kidding! no not really so anyway..."

I stepped onto the stage

"mind if I give that challenge a go?"

She hesitated then nodded

"Ok so I don't have any magic or anything like that but I would like to test a little experiment."

I went over to the back of the stage and I grabbed a sword prop.

"Ok so can everyone see how I'm holding this fake sword?"

The crowd nodded for the most part

I put the sword down and ballad my hand up into a fist. And touched the sword in an attempt to pick it up.

"Now you see how I can't pick it up without getting a good grip on it right?"

"yes. Your point is?"

"Ok so now I need a volunteer to hold the sword for me. Scootaloo could you do that?"

She got onto the stage and picked up the sword with her hoof.

"Now can someone explain exactly how she is holding the sword without anything to grip it?"

Practically everyone had a dropped jaw, twilight was processing the information and rainbow picked up a rock and then dropped it bewildered

"Yep. I'm just as confused as you probably are. Could we get someone who knows about science to figure this out at some point?"

The crowd murmured amongst itself and I exited stage right with Scootaloo following closely, we returned to the group

"girls pack up we need to test this. Spike take a note."

All signs of nervousness had left twilight the moment I threw out my observation

"uh spike ran after rarity"

"oh..."

"I'm kinda tired"

"Me too. Hey can we just go back to the library and get some sleep?"

"fine."

We raced back to the house fuelled by the desire of rest and we made record time. We reached the house and went into the basement with Scootaloo. I climbed into bed and Scootaloo jumped up and laid down beside me.
I fell asleep for a bit.

We were both awoken by a large rumbling. I went outside to investigate. Then suddenly, giant star bear out of nowhere because reasons.

"THATS A HUGE BITCH!"

It was absolutely massive

"WHAT IS THAT THING?"

"if I throw a ball at it, would it get lost in space?"

She deadpanned.

"Sorry. I got curious."

In the distance we saw sparks flying towards the giant bear.

"Dear god it's like they want the forest to burn"

"what?"

"Sorry. Just some memories of my ol'pal smokey. I would say he practically burned the motto into my mind but he don't do fire"

"...what?"

"Only you can prevent forest fires"

She gave me a look that just screamed confusion (perhaps she's been...Bamboozled again :3)

I snapped out of it and headed towards the chaos in the distance. Scootaloo clinging to my leg as we approached the town centre. Everyone was running in different directions in a panic.

"Ok it's even bigger up close. So uh...what do we do?"

"throw things...then it explodes...?"

"Well considering this place kinda runs off of cartoon rules... Yep just throw stuff."

We grabbed any nearby objects and hurled it at the bear. Chairs, food, tables even someone's sink from a destroyed house. Sadly It made no difference thanks to our piss poor aim.

Unfortunately for us the bear took notice of us and slowly headed towards us with a face of curiosity.

"Oh fuck, what ever you do. Don't run, that will give it a reason to chase you. Just walk fast."

we quickly power-walked away and made it to the group in the center

"Could one of you explain how and why whinny (pun!) the pooh found true enlightenment and decided to attack the town?"

"no time!"

"alright twi let's do this."

She magically picked up the bear and tried to put it to sleep.

"we need to calm it down!"

I had an idea.

I hated my idea

"Lullaby?"

"yes DO IT QUICKLY!"

"(Sigh) fine...but we going Dutch."

I was so glad that Alex taught me a Dutch lullaby.

"bloed en bloemen, bloed en bloemen. Het is hetzelfde, het is hetzelfde, je loopt door het bloedbad, je had dat moeten doen, ga slapen. ga slapen."

"...dude"

It worked. The large bear was swiftly removed, and the town was saved. And eventually two little boys showed up and admitted that they led the bear into the town so they could see some more magic tricks. Guess how well that went?

Anyway we went back to the house...and then the unexpected happened.

"can I have a lullaby too?"

Wat

"Uh...ok just give me a second"

I needed to find a better and slightly less bloody Dutch lullaby.
Then I found it

"Ok here we go...(Ahem) Slaap, baby slaap, Buiten loopt een schaap, Een schaap met witte voeten, Wie drinkt zijn melk zo zoet, Slaap, baby slaap, Buiten is er wal"

She fell asleep rather quickly. And my heart exploded, I gave her a quick kiss on the forehead then got into the sheets and fell asleep beside her.

Some things are worth fighting for.

You just might have to get thrown into a new world to find it
