A Brony Life
Chapter 13: Another Day in School
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWelcome back everyone. I know the last chapter was a little of a sad ending, but it will all start to lead up to something. Anyway, this chapter is mainly in third person, and will go into more depth of Zeke/Blitz's life. Again, Blitz isn't an exact me, but a similar version. I still own the creation of Blitz, and his whole history.
Disclaimer: I don't however own MLP.
"Where... Where am I?" I thought as I sat up from... a school desk? "Mister Boyle! Do I need to have you sent to the principal's office?!" I looked up and saw my Theatre Teacher, Mr. Samuel, glaring down at me. Now this was starting to freak me out. "Mister Boyle! I asked you a question!"
"I-I... What was the question?" I asked dumbly. Every student in the class started laughing at me. Samuel sighed and shook his head as he turned to go back to the projector. As he did, a few crumbled pieces of paper were thrown at me, by three other students. Morgue, Mike, and Joe. The three students who made it a mission to make my life horrible.
They all stole my money, broke into my locker just to rip up homework, and even beat me up on the way to class.
After that class was over I went to my locker, thinking of how wierd this all was. Was all the My Little Pony stuff a dream? No, it couldn't be. I was getting hurt, I found out stuff about the show that I never knew to begin with, and it all was too real.
I got in my locker and traded out the books I needed to get for my next class and went off to math.
As I went on, I had a run in with Mike, Morgue, and Joe. Most everyone else was already in class, except for some which surrounded us to make sure the teachers didn't notice. As strange as it sounds, it didn't attract the teachers, it kept them away just like they all planned.
"Sup, ATM. You here to give us our money now?" Morgue asked.
Morgue was the leader of the three. He was also the cleverest out of the three, which wasn't saying much, and was the most dangerous out of them all. His real name was Martin, but the reason they called him Morgue was because he had a glare which made people think that the phrase 'If looks could kill' was literal. Along with all of that, he was also the school's pickpocket. Only giving back the stuff he stole for a price.
Then there was Joe, the brains of the group. He was always the one that finished his homework first and sold it to others for money. He made it so they all had the right answers, but they were worded differently then his. He was also really weak, but had a way of fighting in his own way. With his smarts, he knew where pressure points were so he dodged attacks and hit the points with carefully placed jabs. It was almost like he was a ninja, which wasn't good.
Finally, there was Mike. The brawn. He was an average school bully, using his strength to get what he wanted. He was also the halfback for the school's football team. He was so intimidating, he even scared some of the teachers. Which was why he rarely got ISS, or got suspended, or anything like that. If anything, he only got off with a warning. The only real weakness about him was that he wasn't that smart.
"Get lost. How about you get a job so you can get your own money, grease monkey?" All the students around me 'oooo'ed. It wasn't hard for me to come up with a name like that, he wore enough grease in his hair that could make a restaurant go out of business from health issues.
"Oh, cause of that you better be ready to give me all of your money. I was prepared to let you off the hook, being the understanding guy I am, but you just dug your own grave." Morgue said, acting all high and mighty.
"Whatever 'understanding guy'. You're 'standing' in my way, so move it." I said dryly. I wasn't about to stand down or hide in fear. Mainly since I knew that was pointless.
After some of the group of students laughing at him, he gave them all his signature death glare. That made them all shut up. "That's it. Mike, take care of the robot."
"Got it." Mike simply said as he went up to me. He then 'took care' of me by slugging me in the face, knocking me to the ground.
When I woke up, I heard a voice. "Oh my, are you okay? You took a big hit." I opened my eyes and saw a girl with pale skin and very light blond brushed hair looking at me. She had a light pink shirt and a skirt with pink butterflies on it. She was the only one still here.
As I looked at her, for a split second I saw Fluttershy instead of whoever was in front of me. After that split second, it went back to normal. "Y-yeah. I'm fine." I said as I started to get up, really confused. "Who are you?"
"Oh, yes. I'm Felicia Shylene." She said. Okay, this was getting weirder by the second.
"Hi Felicia. I'm Zeke." I said cautiously.
She smiled at me. "We might want to hurry to class. It's the one over there right?" Felicia asked, pointing towards my classroom. "Ms. Tilden's room, I mean."
"Yeah. That's actually my class too." I noted.
We then both headed out to the next class. Luckily for us, we weren't stopped by any teachers as we got into class unnoticed.
After we got in, I got to my seat which was near the back, while Felicia sat at the seat that was farthest away from most everyone. In this case, the front.
That's when the teacher came. Only it wasn't Ms. Tilden like usual. Instead, it was a skinny woman with black skin with a pure black suit that made her look like a lawyer. The buttons and everything on the suit were shinning as if they were stars or something.
"Hello class. Ms. Tilden won't be here for the rest of the week, so I'll be taking her place. You may call me Ms. Luna." She said to the class. I froze in place and looked at her, very confused and freaked out. She noticed and smiled at me for a quick second, as if she knew why I was looking at her. Then there was another split second where Ms. Luna, was Princess Luna. It went away just like last time with Felicia.
As the class went on, we had a test scheduled for today. Ms. Luna passed it out and we all started working on it. Some time into the test, Joe was sitting behind me. he was the only one out of the three that were in this class. Sadly, Joe made up for it by just as annoying, or getting me in trouble.
"*cough* Ms. Loser *cough*" I heard Joe say, mimicking my voice really well. Ms. Luna looked up furious and looked right at me.
"Mister... Zeke, is it?" She asked, looking at the seating chart to get my name. "Do you mind explaining just what you called me?" She asked.
I shook my head, looking straight at me. "It wasn't me." I said.
"Oh? And I suppose it's the boy that's sleeping behind you that said it?" Ms. Luna asked rhetorically. To prove her point, I heard a soft, real sounding snore right behind me. God, I hate Joe.
"Excuse me, Ms. Luna? It really was the sleepin boy behind em. Zeke did nothin wrong." I turned my head, as did everyone else in class, to a girl who had her hand in the air. She had blond hair tied into a ponytail, a slight farmer's tan, and she had a cowboy hat tied down to the back of her orange backpack. She wore worn down jeans, a plain orange t-shirt with apples on it, and a sleeveless brown jacket. It made her look like an urban cowgirl in a way.
"Is that so?" Ms. Luna asked. "Well then, guess I'll have a write-up ready for... Joe instead of Zeke. Thank you for speaking up miss... Jackie." She finished.
I looked at 'Jackie' and she simply tipped an imaginary hat off to me in a way of saying, "Don't mention it" Another split second change happened as I looked at Jackie and she was Applejack for a moment.
I looked back at my test and finished the last question on it. Oddly enough, the question was a word problem. The answer was '7 friends'. That just made everything more confusing and freaky.
Before the bell was about to ring to dismiss us to third lunch, Ms. Luna spoke up. "I hope you all feel comfortable with your answers. Especially if you wasted some of your time sleeping. Am I right mister Joe?" She looked at Joe with a bored expression.
"Yes Ms. Luna." Joe said, a little ticked that he was getting written up.
"Don't you mean, Ms. Loser?" Ms. Luna asked rhetorically, which made all of us laugh at Joe. "Oh, and before I forget. Zeke, I want to talk to you after class." She said to me.
After the bell rang, everyone left except for me. I walked over to her desk. "What did you need? Princess Luna?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"So you figured it out didn't you? Blitz?" She asked, smiling at me. "I'm sure thou has plenty of questions, so go ahead." She inquired.
"And what do I ask exactly? Why I'm in a dream about my school life before all of this happened? Why all my friends are here for some reason? How about, is Celestia the principal of the school? I asked sarcastically, thinking this was all some big joke.
"Nay. We couldn't get rid of Ms. Jefferies. My sister is the superintendent instead." She said with a smile.
I facepalmed at that. "Of course. Makes perfect since. Okay, real question. Why are you making me go through this nightmare?"
"Nay yet again. I am simply accompanying thy dream. I cannot change a dream that has come from a coma." She clarified.
I froze in place after that. "Wait wait wait, let me get this straight. I'm in a coma?!" I asked, shocked.
"Correct." Luna said with a nod. "You took quiet a few hits to thy noggin, and then the lightning strike. Thoust is in the hospital in Ponyville right now, with all of your friends watching over you."
"So... I'm imagining what it would be like if my friends were in my world?" I asked.
"I assume so. However, you will not be able to come out of your comma until your mind is at ease." Ms. Luna told me. "You have a big decision that will affect your life. Thou must make a choice, by thy own." She finished.
I stood there, for a good minute, taking in all the news she had just told me. "I have to have... an apifiny?" I asked.
"Correct." Luna said with a smile and a nod.
I sighed deeply. I just wanted to get out of all of this. Then my stomach rumbled. "I need to get some food." I finally said.
"Here." Luna said as she got out a small brown bag and a can of my favorite soda. Diet Coke. Seeing my shocked expression she clarified. "I saw how they made off with thy currency, so I took the liberty of preparing a lunch." She said with a smile.
"Okay, as of right now you are my favorite teacher, favorite princess, and favorite adult." I said as I took the sack lunch and soda and started to head off to lunch.
"Oh, and Zeke?" I turned around to see her turn an apple laptop around so I could see the screen. It was a YouTube video of Gandalf saying "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" "So that's why you wanted me to say it." She said with a playful smirk.
I chuckled a little. "I'm sorry, but I had to hear you say it. I couldn't pass over the opportunity." We both laughed and I headed out to the lunch room.
When I got there, I saw my table. The empty small one in the corner of the cafeteria. I sat there and opened my soda, happy to finally have a soda after so long. I was addicted to it, I admit it, and I was so overjoyed that I chugged down half the can in just a few seconds.
"HI!" I almost choked on my soda when someone came up behind me, but I swallowed my soda before looking at who was behind me. "Mind if I sit here?!"
Behind me was someone who looked so crazy that it would put Lady Gaga to shame. She had frizzy pink hair, pink jeans, a shirt that had a bright, colorful balloon pattern all over it. She also had a huge, happy smile on her face that would creep out the Joker.
"Um... Sure..." I said, very confused. She quickly sat across from me, still smiling. She got out a Tootsie Roll Pop and put it in her mouth. Then another split second flash happened and she was Pinkie Pie. I rubbed my eyes, not from the flash, but from the incredibly bright colors she was wearing. It was really hard to look at her. "Who are you?" I said, looking back at her.
"I'm Diane." She said, still smiling. Okay, if this is supposed to be Pinkie, then why did that name make no sense? "Diane Pinkamena. But all of my friends call me Pinkie." So that's how it connected.
"I'm... Zeke." I said looking at her still confused.
"Nice ta meet ya!" She said with the same smile. Then out of no where, she shivered a little. "Hey, could you lean-to the left?" She asked out all of a sudden.
"Ooooookay..." I said as I leaned to the left. Right when I did, a scoop of mashed potatoes went flying past where I was and hit Diane right in the face.
"Are you okay?" I asked, concerned. She said nothing as she scooped the mashed potatoes off of her and licked it.
She then stood up and yelled out at the people behind us who through the potatoes as loud as she could. "You forgot the gravy!" Everyone around us, including me, laughed as she kept licking the mashed potatoes off her hand.
After lunch, me and Diane went to our classes. After that class, I went to my locker to change out school supplies again. As I opened my locker and started fishing stuff out, I heard someone right next to me say, "Open up already!"
I moved my locker door and saw something that wasn't as wierd as meeting Diane. There was a girl with brown hair, that had multiple colored streaks that made it look like it was a rainbow. She wore a blue skittles t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and blue running shoes. She also had a painted thunder bolt in rainbow colors on the knee of her jeans. "Why can't I get this locker to open?!" She yelled out in frustration. She had all her books and some other stuff in her hands and backpack, so it was clear that she was new.
"Want some help?" I offered.
"Uh... Nah, I think I... Got it!" She swung the door of the locker open... And dropped all the stuff that was in her hands. "Oh, great." She mumbled.
I bent down and helped her pick everything up. After it was all picked up, she started to put it all away. "Thanks." She said as she kept putting books away.
"Welcome. New here?" I asked. Although, I already knew the answer.
"Yeah, just transferred here. I'm Dashellene, but most of my friends just call me Rainbow." She told me. That's when the flash happened again, and I saw Rainbow Dash.
"Nice to meet you Rainbow. I'm Zeke." I said, acting normal. At this point, I had gotten used to the visions and reacted normally.
"Well, I gotta run. Thanks for the help Zeke, I owe ya one." Rainbow said as she started to run to class, as did I.
There was one thing that kept eating at me as I started going to the next class. One thing that I was worrying about. What's gonna happen if I never wake up from this? Will I just live my life in a coma, with my brain imagining my friends here?
Woah, a coma. I wonder what's going to happen next. Will Zeke run into any of the others in human form? Will the dream help for him to come to a realization? Or will he be trapped in it forever? All these and more, next chapter.
Question of the Chapter: Did you ever have a time at school where something just seemed... off? If so, explain in review if you want.
