Chapter 1 : Im Booked
**Klutz Wing View **
If there is anything I loved above anything else, besides books and the sky that is, its some peace and quiet. No yelling, no commotion, and certainly, no gibber-jabber. You tend to get none of those problems when its just you. I'm yet to obtain my cutie mark, however I'm close, I can feel it. I've started volunteering at the local library, I've took up the hooves of writing while at my stay at the library in between putting books on the shelf and sitting at the desk. Every day after work I go outback behind the library and I sit at my favorite tree. Where I live you may ask? Well in this tree, sure it's not grandeur but simplicity can be just all you need. Sure, when it rains sometimes and I become drenched but that's why umbrellas were invented!
With a sigh, I heave my forehoof and push open the library door to exit the grand building. Another day of work complete, heh. I look up to the sky and think of myself in the air when all of a sudden I feel my body drop suddenly. "Oh... right, stairs..." I cough up from all the dust. Before I pick myself up I see a dusty book. Out of curiosity, I pick it up, flipping through the pages. I blurt out loud "Who left this here? Its all blank on every page.".
My thoughts start racing when suddenly it comes to a halt suddenly, a voice springs to mind, it sounds so familiar yet so maddening.
"Finish It...Fill it with your dreams.... It can all be yours..." is what the voice screams at me. Before I can think I gallop to my reading tree. I come to a halt and open the book at the tree and beginning writing and insert the words : "Once Their Was..." before I can react a swirl of black mist appears out of the book and the mist begins to wrap around the air. It was hard to make out the figure, It appeared pony.
"Perhaps you need more convincing..." The dark figure mutters as he spreads his wings, the mist begins to fade away, revealing a black hooded Pegasus. If I didn't have eyes I wouldn't believe it. He had the same colors of mane and fur as me. With a chuckle the figure said " This is what you can become, you can have anything you want, all you have to do is write into that journal and everything can be yours. You can fly the skies finally, you can rule the world, you can punish those who insulted you. You can be a Wonderbolt! You can be anything you desire!".
My heart is pounding as I put my right forehoof over where my left wing should be- My lucky wing. With a huff with my back against the tree, I finally manage to gasp a sentence, "Your... Y-you... Are me!!!?".
With a hearty bellow the grown-up replica replies with a grin, "Well aren't you a smart one. Yes, I am you, this is what you can become if you just pledge yourself to one thing : To the almighty King Sombra."
With a uncontrollable grin, I laugh out loud and told him the news. "Woah, buddy calm down, you are behind, King Sombra has sense perished a couple of years ago.".
With a confused look the replica mutters " Wait, What? He's dead? Gone?". With a wide grin, the shady Pegasus boomed "WOOOHOOO! THANK CELESTIA FINALLY I AM FREE!.". With a wide smile the grown Pegasus shakes my hoof with such speed and strength I feel myself getting dizzy and fall on the ground. "The names Clumsy Key, Created from your personality and being, You can just call me Keys. Don't worry kid, I know just about everything about you already, remember, I am you in a way." Jokingly says in a hyper-active manor with a poke to my flank.
I am very confused right now, but may as well go with it I think to myself. With a sigh, I respond "So... Keys? how exactly were you cursed into that book?", Raising a eyebrow.
With a chuckle Keys pats my back "It is a long and complicated story, yet hilarious at the same time, in short words however, some words of advice : Never spill a cup of tea on a king's robe, put it at that... Wait- speaking of that book, how long has it been sense I been cursed?".
With a clueless face I respond with a half-clueless guess, "I would guess about two to three thousand years?". We stare at each over for about a minute with Keys jaw dropped and wide eyes before he comes back to reality after waving a hoof in his face. Regaining his thoughts Keys finally manages to exclaim " Oohhhkay then... so what exactly do I go or do now?".
we stare into each overs eyes once again, trying to get a grip on the words, then a simple two word comes to our minds. With excitement in our minds we both yell in unison "SLUMBER PARTY!!!".
With a few giggles we fall on our backs and let the world spin around us. I can't believe it, this is the closest thing I had to family now I say to myself in my mind at least three times. We close our eyes and just relax on the patch of dandelions beneath us, at least, we tried to until we heard a crackle in the sky and felt a sprinkle on my nose. Before I can say anything Keys moans "Damn my luck...". Standing up Keys grabs the book he spawned from and grabs a pen from my book bag hanging from the tree. With a hum, a page flip, and a sketch, a lumbering noise could be heard from my reading tree. With a partygoer roar, Key screams "WOOHOO! ENCHANTED BOOKS! GOTTA LOVE'EM!". With the rain pouring on us.
I can't help myself but laugh. "Today has been the best day ever!" I Exclaim as I have the urge to hug Keys.
"Ow Ow Ow, Your squeezing me too hard." Coughs Keys.
"Oh, heh, sorry." I shyly mutter.
"No Problem lil' bro, the fun begins about... now." said Keys with a enthusiastic roar.
We stare in wonder at the sight of this magnificent treehouse of where my reading tree used to be.
