The unlikely adventures of Windblow Scratch

Chapter 2

Monday.

Bucking Monday.

Who was the ‘brilliant’ pony that invented Monday anyway? It was the most useless and horrible day in the world, heck even the word ‘Monday’ was dumb, it was hard to pronounce and sounded SO unnatural for any being’s throat.

These thoughts filled our favorite DJ’s head as she woke up to admire the gloriousness of Celestia’s sun; everypony could guess that Vinyl hated Mondays, mainly because it was the only day she had to wake up an hour earlier to organize her plans for the week, however she wouldn’t let her eternal battle against Monday’s mess up in the way of loving every single being for the fact that she and Octavia were now mothers.

“Windblow! Wake up! You’re gonna be late for school!” shouted Octavia as Vinyl greeted her in the kitchen with a half-eaten bowl of cereal.

“OH BUCK! IT’S MONDAY!?” shouted the boy causing Octavia to facehoof and Vinyl to chuckle, it seemed that now her son had joined her in her battle against Mondays

“That kit, I’m gonna have a serious conversation with Windblow about that mouth of his when he gets home” Vinyl shivered at Octavia’s treat to sermon Windblow the poor kid would have to get a chat of 4 hours if he had luck

After a rather normal breakfast, ignoring the fact that Windblow and Vinyl had a deep conversation about the mysterious flavor of their cereal, Windblow stood outside the door with his clothes on and the feeling that Monday’s nightmare had only began

“Are you sure you can do it Vinyl?” asked Octavia with her cello in her back

“No problem Octavia, the stallion that made the appointment got sick so today I’m free, I’m gonna leave Windblow to school, don’t worry” Vinyl answered earning a smile from Octavia as she and her son went to the school

‘I think it had got bigger’ thought Vinyl as she and Windblow wandered to the school entrance, it was indeed truth, in the past years after the several reconstructions of Ponyville, Mayor Mare put extra effort in making the schoolhouse bigger, the playground’s terrain had been doubled and the main building too, it was easier to move the students on it and because of that it had more ponies than before

“Hello Miss Scratch” greeted Cheerilee “I might guess this is Windblow right?” Windblow nodded

“Are you gonna be my teacher miss?” asked Windblow with a tiny voice, sounding like a pacific angel, a total opposite of the reality but hey, he was a good actor

“Yes Windblow, my name’s Cheerilee and I’d appreciate if you call me teacher in class” she said earning a nod from Windblow “now why don’t you wait on the hall while I chat a little with your mom?”

“Okay, see you later mom” Windblow gave Vinyl a hug and a peck on the cheek before running his way to the hall

“Now Vinyl, I must guess you’re aware of your son’s peculiar appearance” asked Cheerilee as Vinyl showed her an adoption certificate with Celestia’s sign on it

“I am aware Cheerilee but as you can see we’ve got the princess permission, if it makes you feel better she said she’ll visit him today after school, you can come too if you’re still not sure” Vinyl said before Cheerilee bowed

“I’m sorry if I sounded rude but I just wanted to make sure everything was okay with Windblow, he seems like a good colt” said the teacher as Vinyl smiled at her

“Yeah, he’s a cute little troublemaker just like his mother” Vinyl smiled to the teacher

Time Skip

“Listen class!” said Cheerilee as the large group of ponies sat down “since today we’re going to have a new student in the class” this of course caused a huge explosion of questions to the teacher

“Is he a filly or a colt?”

“What is he?”

“Is she cute?”

Cheerilee snickered at her student’s curiosity “why don’t you ask him yourselves? Come on sweetie!”

After a minute or so Windblow entered the classroom causing all the looks of the ponies to lock on him

“Well hello everypony” greeted Windblow as he waved his hand to the ponies who watched him silently, although it wasn’t unheard the existence of hands because of the griffons, it was still quite a shock to see one

“My name’s Windblow Scratch, I don’t have a cutie mark or whatsoever but I’m good with music thanks to my momma” he spoke to the fillies and colts, unconscious that the class little troublemakers aka CMC shared a single thought in their minds ‘New recruit’

“And as for what I am…” everypony in the room muted waiting Windblow’s answer “I dunno!” If this was an anime everypony would have fallen comically on the floor, but since this isn’t one all of them stared silently at Windblow, the silence prevailed until one of the fillies broke the silence with a statement, causing Cheerilee to mentally sigh knowing that this’d lead to a further headache

“Then you’re just another freak!” said/yelled the light pink earth pony known as Diamond Tiara, daughter of Filthy Rich and known as the unofficial bully of the class

Windblow however seemed to be unaffected by Diamond Tiara’s insult causing her to become confused

“Didn’t you heard me freak? I’m talking to you!” she now yelled as she approached Windblow alongside Silver Spoon

“As if you were in any position to call me a freak, toothpaste hair” everypony in the class laughed loudly at Windblow’s remark, even Cheerilee started to chuckle a bit, it was a brilliant remark to the little pony; Diamond Tiara was outraged as expected but decided to let it pass as she and Silver Spoon ‘huff’ed at Windblow and went back to their seats

“Okay Windblow you can go sit in an empty desk” said Cheerilee as Windblow did so and sat in the only empty space, which conveniently was in a cross like place to Sweetie Bell, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.

Windblow sighed as he reached his seat and turned to the fillies

“Before you ask, yes I don’t have a cutie mark, yes I know about the Cutie Mark Crusaders and yeah you’ve got me in”

“How did you-” Applebloom started but was interrupted by Windblow

“I’ve heard about you and three pairs of eyes staring at you ain’t easy to not notice y’know?” the fillies blushed slightly at Windblow’s remark, had they been THAT obvious?

“Well students, as you know we’re going to have a talent contest in three days” said Cheerilee receiving a collective ‘YAY’ from her energetic students “I’ll allow teams of three people so you can start preparing since tomorrow” Windblow quickly raised his hand “Yes, Windblow?”

“Miss Cheerilee, can we do it alone?” This question took Cheerilee by surprise, usually everypony wanted to do this things with their friends, but since Windblow was new she thought it might be interesting to let Vinyl’s child work by himself

“Why of course Windblow” Windblow nodded at his teacher’s response and focused in the rest of the day

The next days passed by pretty normal, Windblow found himself spending pretty much all of his time with the CMC, if you took apart their almost never ending excitement, they were pretty cool to be with, Windblow would sometimes help them with their theories of cutie mark getting some others camping with them and helping with non-girl related stuff, and some tiny others just making stuff, it was nice to behave like a kid, with friends like them and two mothers like Vinyl and Octavia, Windblow decided that his life was good

The days passed by quickly and the talent show occurred, all the parents in Ponyville went to the center of the village to watch the spectacle, the CMC repeated their musical show, succeeding this time, it ended terrific as Sweetie Bell finally obtained her cutie mark, a microphone with a shiny diamond beside it, it wasn’t a surprise to anypony since she had a wonderful singing voice and the outfits of the three were designed by her alone, after a frenetic hug with Rarity and her parents, Sweetie Bell returned to her friends, after all, the CMC would stay until everyone of them obtained their cutie marks; Diamond Tiara presented a theater scene with Silver Spoon, although the filly was annoying as hell, Windblow had to admit that she was a good actress, Silver Spoon was the one that organized the entire scene, she and Diamond Tiara made all the characters, earning a loud applause from the audience, finally it was Windblow’s turn to show up

The announcing pony took the microphone and presented Windblow to the public

“And last but not least, the new student, Windblow Scratch!” suddenly a white unicorn walked to the announcer and whispered to his ear

“Oh”

“Aha”

“Okay”

“Well mares and gentle colts it seems that our young Windblow will not do his act alone, everypony say hello too to Double Scratch and Crashing Melody” a brown unicorn and a gray earth pony came to the scenario, the earth pony pulling a set of drums and the unicorn levitating a red bass

“How’s that! No one said that you can ask your family!” protested Diamond Tiara from behind

“Well miss Diamond, no one forbid it neither, actually this is the first time that someone actually USED the rule, so it isn’t technically against the rules, now come on, Windblow Scratch!”

Windblow walked to the center of the stage with a white guitar on his hand

“Oh! A musical performance! Let’s see how the son of two of the best musicians does!”

Windblow said nothing as he plugged his guitar to a small amplifier

“What will you do mister Scratch?” asked the announcer

“‘Soothsayer’” said Windblow quickly

“Not very talkative are we?” Windblow simply nodded to the announcer earning a laugh from the public

After the instruments were set Windblow gave the signal to Double and Crashing and then they started to play

The public was completely shocked by Windblow’s performance, the notes of the guitar complemented perfectly to the bass and drums, even though the song didn’t had lyrics at all it felt powerful, it was as if the melody told a story itself; behind the scenario Cheerilee was smiling as the rest of her class stood dumbfound at Windblow’s performance, Diamond Tiara stood shocked while Silver Spoon was fainted in the ground; if Windblow would get a cutie mark it had to be music

After 8 or so minutes the guitar muted as the audience went crazy, cheers, compliments, it all caused a small blush in Windblow’s smiling face

“Amazing! Terrific! But what else can we expect from the son of our two best musicians?” as the announcer pony continued with his description, the ponies continued cheering, however the little moment was interrupted as a gray pegasus with a mail backpack flew and crashed in the scenario followed by a huge growl coming from beneath the woods

“HELP HELP ME PLEASE!!” shouted Derpy Hooves as Cheerilee walked to her

“Calm down Derpy, what’s going on?” asked the teacher to the shivering mare

“I-I was delivering a l-letter to Fluttershy in her house but I crashed with a tree and fell to the ground, I t-tried to go back but I got trapped by a hu-huge”

“TIMBERWOLF!!!!” shouted a pony from the audience as a humongous timberwolf jumped and growled at everypony
Immediately the guards launched their beams at the creature but it didn’t seemed to affect it as it only grew angrier, it launched himself at the scenario and with a quick slash it destroyed it completely

“WINDBLOW!!!” shouted Vinyl and Octavia as they went to the scrubs only to find Windblow standing up and giving the timberwolf the angriest glare they’ve ever seen

“You foul beast” Windblow said as he started walking towards the creature, behind him a red shadow of a huge dragon started to glow causing everypony to gasp in surprise

“It had been a lot since I had a good time, I was playing for my mothers, for my friends, and for everypony in Ponyville; SO WHO THE HAY DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO BLOW IT UP!?” after the shout the Timberwolf roared at him as he launched himself to Windblow

Windblow backed his fist as the dragon shadow glowed brighter than ever, a trail of flames started to grow in Windblow’s arm as he charged his punch

“BLAZING STRIKE!!!” Windblow launched his flaming fist at the timberwolf in mid-air impacting full in his stomach, the creature let out a roar of pain as a giant trail of golden flames emerged from his back, right in the opposite place to Windblow’s punch

The ponies stood silent as Windblow landed and the huge timberwolf crashed in the dirt and quickly ran away with a faint trail of light gray smoke on him

“Windblow!!” yelled Vinyl as she ran to embrace her son in a hug

“How did you do it!? What was that?” yelled the CMC simultaneously

“What are you talking about? I just remember being very angry at the timberwolf and then… nothing, did I do something to him?” asked Windblow surprising the mares around him

“Indeed you did young Windblow” said a voice as a tall white alicorn approached Windblow

“Princess Celestia!” yelled everypony as they bowed to her, Windblow in his confusion just stood up

“Who are you?” he asked earning a sight of confusion from everypony beside his mothers

“I believe we haven’t being introduced yet, I’m princess Celestia, goddess of the sun and co-ruler of Equestria” Windblow immediately bowed to the princess but was stopped

“No need to bow young Windblow, what you did, although somewhat bizarre was one of the most bravest things I’ve ever saw, I’ve already talked to your mothers and I proudly declare you the newest citizen of Ponyville, however I’d like to talk to you about this ‘peculiar’ situation you’ve just had, I’ll wait for you in my castle in Canterlot in a week or so, if you have any doubts you can ask my student for it”

“I’ll be my pleasure princess” Windblow said as he bowed and everypony else chuckled for him acting so formal, he was the most care free individual in the world!

“Well dear audience” said the announcer pony appearing from beneath the scrums “It seems that since Windblow saved everypony today and did a wonderful performance with ‘Soothsayer’ It is my pleasure to declare the young Windblow Scratch the winner of this talent contest!”

As everypony cheered Windblow he mentally sighed as a lavender alicorn walked to him with an enormous smile on her face, he could swear he saw some sparkles in her eyes

‘This’ll be a LONG week’
