> End of the World > by TheKing2001 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Apocalypse > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I propped my head up with a hand as I watched Mom writing some words on the whiteboard, hastily moving to take notes. Rainbow sat beside me, balancing her pen on her nose as I snickered quietly. I more so found the prospect of Mom catching her funny. While Rainbow was my friend, it still would be entertaining to see Mom get annoyed at her. After all, Rainbow did the same to me a lot when Mom got annoyed with me, in class and at home. “Who can tell me what happens when the sun gets blocked by the moon?” Mom asked as she faced us and Rainbow hastily removed the pen. “Go ahead Flash.” I blocked out what he said as I stared at Derpy writing in the corner. She had started changing her hair style recently and I will admit, her ponytail draped over her shoulder was very appealing looking. “And we have an apocalypse today because the moon covers the sun!” Mom announced as I stiffened slightly. The fact that she seemed so happy about a world ending event was, well shocking really. Why on earth would anybody be happy about an event ending the world? The bell rang and I shot up from my seat, grabbing my magical book from my bag and I ignored the startled looks from my classmates. “Alright Mom, tell all our friends and my aunts to meet me at the portal,” I said as Mom and Derpy gave me confused looks. “Uh why?” Rainbow asked with a raised eyebrow as she closed her notebook. “I’ll tell everyone there. Just do as I say please.” And with that, I turned and sped walked out the room. I paced back and forth in front of the statue as Trixie appeared in next to Watermelody and the rest of my friends slowly walking up with confused expressions as I pointed to the statue. “Mom, my aunts and siblings go first then we will figure it out who’s next,” I explained as they all looked at each other. “Why?” Twilight asked finally as she pushed her glasses up. “Don’t get me wrong, visiting Equestria sounds exciting and there’s a lot of studying I could do but this is kinda sudden.” “There’s an apocalypse coming,” I answered as they all stared at me. “Like what?” Lightning asked as her face light up. “I hope it’s something we can fight. That’d be cool!” “Fist bump sista!” Rainbow cheered as she and Lightning fist bumped as Indigo grinned. “No, it’s nature related,” I said as Watermelody looked at her phone. “What do you mean, nature related?” Watermelody asked as she brushed her hair under her beret. “The sun is gonna get blocked by the moon,” I proclaimed as I started pacing. “Which will cause an apocalypse.” “Do you mean the eclipse?” Pinkie asked as I nodded rapidly. “Apocalypse!” Sunny Flare facepalmed as I gave her a confused look. “No dearie she means eclipse,” Sunny said as she ran her hand through her hair. “The moon covers up the sun.” “Exactly. The sun will disintegrate the moon,” I started as Vinyl snorted. “And we can’t live with darkness twenty four seven so we will all die. But if we go to Equestria, boom survival.” They all stared at me as almost thirty seconds passed before they all burst out laughing. “H-hold on,” Sour Sweet said as she snickered. “You actually think this?” “Yes?” “Oh Jesus Christ,” Pinkie muttered as Bon Bon wiped a tear from her eye. “This is hilarious.” I don’t know what really is funny about this. Even Sugarcoat is laughing and I’ve never heard her laugh. I’ve only seen her offer faint smiles. “She needs to be educated,” Twilight coughed as my mom and aunts continued laughing, Fluttershy and Fuchsia holding each other up as they snickered. “Okay, come here and you can read on my phone.” “Uh okay?” I sat with a stunned expression as my friends continued laughing. I may have misheard I heard in class obviously. “So that’s all that it is?” I asked as Sugarcoat nodded. “Yeah,” she said as she continued her laughing. “No end of the world, no disintegrating moons, no eternal darkness we’re fine.” “I just want to know how you got apocalypse from eclipse,” Derpy said as she leaned against me. “I’m not laughing at you by the way, I’m laughing with you.” “I’m laughing at me,” I grumbled as I smiled slightly. “I don’t know, I just misheard I guess. That happens to me sometimes. It’s the labor day thing all over again.” Mom and Aunt Berry started laughing harder as I blushed. I will never live this down ever. I can already tell. “The what thing?” Fuchsia asked as Watermelody smirked slightly and I shrugged with a growing blush. “Nothing!” I said hastily as they all rolled their eyes. “Ah may not be the Element of Honesty no more but ah know ya ain’t telling us everything. We will figure it out,” Applejack commented with a smug grin. “How have you lived eighteen years and never seen the eclipse?” Rarity asked as I tilted my head. “We don’t have them in Equestria. I’m not even sure if Princess Celestia could make one but I don’t see why not. I should tell Twilight about this, I wonder what she would think.” “Considering you thought it was a world ending event, so would she,” Sunny commented as she handed Lemon her headphones back. “But who knows, maybe not.” “See, here,” Mom handed me some weird glasses. “Put these on. We all have some and look up.” She pointed up and I hesitated before putting them on and looking up. “Woah,” I muttered as they all laughed again. “This is pretty cool actually.” “Next time will be in twenty years,” Vinyl commented as she pushed her sunglasses into her hair. “I guess. That’s what Twinkleshine said in her astronomy class earlier this week.” I shivered slightly as I watched the sun slowly get covered by the moon as I raised an eyebrow. “Pretty cool right Eclipse?” Rainbow asked and they all snickered as I sighed. If that becomes my new nickname, I’m gonna die from embarrassment.
