A Brony Life
Chapter 28: The Chase Continues! (episode 4)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWhat is up every pony! Welcome to part two of episode four! Honestly, I already love how this episodes going, but it's not really me whose opinion matters. It's all of yours! I hope all of you are enjoying the episode! As far as I can see, every one of you are enjoying the story and I'm so glad you all are! I've tried as much as I can to make the story as original, funny, and interesting as possible, and based on what all of you are saying, I guess I'm not doing that bad a job.
But I digress. Anyway, I have a few things to say before we start. First, the contest. There were a lot of you who put in some interesting animal rivalries, and there was defiantly a few hard decisions to make. So before I say the winner, I want to put in the honorable mentions.
gara316: I always thought that cat and dog was second most well-known animal rivalry to the cat and mouse. Great suggestion! Though, I myself vote for the dogs on this rivalry. I mean, I never heard of a guard cat before.
PrinceBlackFire116: Lion and Hyena? You know, I never even thought of those two animals when I thought of animal rivalries. If I ever did, the only proof I could think of was Lion King. But still, it's a great match-up and you have a great explanation to boot. Plus, I think both those animals are really unique. Like an under dog vs. the top cat in a way.
VintageThunder98: What you put in was still allowed. Just because I gave that rivalry as an example doesn't mean that no one was allowed to use it. That, and you really prove your point by explaining why they're a great match up. I mean, all you have to do is look as far as Tom and Jerry to see how exactly the mouse can out smart the wreck less cat-like you say. Also, I liked the comparison between that match-up and Blitz vs. the bear.
Mage of Psychics: You know, you do bring up a good rivalry. Even though it doesn't naturally happen in the wild, at least as far as I know, the dolphin against a shark would be interesting. Dolphins are clever, but sharks have brute strength. Similar to the cat and mouse. But, I don't think the dolphin would win because he doesn't really have any killer instinct.
Christ's Disciple: Snake vs. Mongoose huh? Well, honestly, they're pretty even too. I mean, like you brought up, they both eat one another. And with how evened up that is, and not to mention creepy as all meals could be, I can't even begin to think what kind of winner would come out on top. I would guess the snake because even if a Mongoose eats the snake, if the snake is poisonous than who really wins here?
perseus2247: Wolf and coyote? Well, not really much I can say here, but... I'd say wolf wins by the cartoon match-up you related it to. I mean, I don't think Wile could catch a turtle at this point. Sorry coyotes, but wolves win this round.
Night Shadow- Pony of night: So were going for the big guns that are bugs? I only have one thing to say to that... Awesome! Honestly, the first time I saw this comment I thought a tarantula would win hands down. Then after I put some thought into it... I didn't know if there could be a clear winner here. So good match-up.
EpicPie1: Cat and Fish. They're an odd pairing really, and the first time I saw this I immediately went back to Cat in the Hat and how the fish scolds Cat in the Hat. But like with the Dolphin and Shark fight, the fish doesn't have any killer instinct, not to mention a way to defend himself. Cuteness might save the fish for a few seconds to a minute, but that cat won't give up easy. Especially if that cat is something like Opal.
Also... I know that your sad about the story needing to end eventually, but don't worry about when it ends. That's just looking at the negatives. Look at the positives! Like for instance, I plan on making three seasons worth of episodes already! And that's just the episode ideas that are off the top of my head! Trust me, this story train ain't stopping till my brains completely out of creativity! And I think my mind has about half as much creativity as Discord's mind itself!
VividReederSeeder: I know you didn't put a rivalry in, but I had to say this... I love those types of jokes! Go Horatio One-Liners!
Devon Davidson: Again, cat vs. dog is never a match-up to sneeze at. Cat and dog rivalry could even be a way of relating it to a lion vs. wolf fight. Still, I think it's the second most known rivalry .
dazza the lucario: You do have a point, humans=mammals and mammals=animals. So yeah, that's allowed. Honestly, I think that midgets are over-looked (I really don't mean for that to be a pun. Sorry to all little people, but I couldn't think of any way to re-phrase) because they can be just as fierce as any regular person.
PandaMaster231.2: Groundhog vs. Marmot? Honestly, I didn't even think groundhogs could have a rival in any term of the word. Still, like you said it would be funny to watch two fat rodents duke it out. LOL.
Now with all the reviewers tallied in, I think it's time I quit stalling and tell you all the winner!
So the winner... Of the contest is...
...ZZZzzZZzzzZzZzZzzzzZZzz... HUH! Oh right sorry, more stalling. Anyway the winner is...
Oh wait... I can't tell any of you! *Troll Face* Yeah, the winner remains anonymous to keep from reviewers arguing. I know that none of you would do that, but I just want to stay on the safe side. So for the winner of the contest, count on your OC making an entrance some time soon after this episode! Still, if you want to brag about how you won or anything, I can't really stop you there.
Either way, congrats to the un-named winner! So anyway, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I own no part of MLP, song, or any borrowed OC. I only own my character, the idea, and this story!
So here I was. Falling to my possible death, or if I lived through that the belly of a cat.
Every pony was looking at Tank fly off in some direction, thinking I was still on him. They didn't notice me falling. I knew that even if I yelled for my life, what good would that do? It would only get Opal's attention, and she would be on me faster than any of the others.
The only thing I could do was fall and let gravity try to be kind. I really just hoped it wouldn't break any of my three good limbs.
I held out my arms and closed my eyes, taking on gravity and hoping that I would come out on top somehow.
That's when the loud noise sounded off "PLUNK!" Only, it wasn't the splat noise I predicted.
I opened my eyes and couldn't believe what happened. I was saved by my fake arm!
"BLITZ!" I heard them all call out. The plunk noise for all of them, including Opal sadly, showed them that I was no longer on Tank's shell.
"I'm good! I'm... good..." I said with a breath of relief. I landed on my metal arm, and it broke my fall. Thank Celestia for that!
I got up and checked my arm. The palm of my paw had a slight scratch on it, but it was still fine.
But the check-up on my arm was cut short as an annoying feline fiend appeared behind me.
"I got you now, RAT!" Opal hissed. I tried to get away, but she just barely swatted my head, making me fall to the ground.
"You know, some help here would be really thankful!" I called out to my friends, who seemed stunned.
"Good idea Gummy!" I heard as I was tossed in the air above Opal's mouth. Right before I fell in Opal's mouth though, I was eaten by something else. A flying toothless alligator "Nice catch Gummy!" I heard Pinkie Pie praise.
Gummy landed a few feet away from Opal, keeping his mouth shut. "Youokaylittlebuddy?!" I heard from inside Gummy's mouth. Wierd part was his lips didn't move at all. Or if they did, I couldn't tell.
His tongue was still moving though, and I tripped over it, getting covered in saliva. "Yeah, more or less." I said as I tried to get at least some of his saliva off of me. "Did you have to eat me though?" I asked, grossed out that I was being digested by accident.
"Sorry!" He said. I then felt us be lifted up into the air. As soon as we stopped going up, Gummy opened his mouth wide and I saw a blue hoof in front of it.
I stepped out of his mouth, chills going up my spine from what just happened. "Blegh!" I heard Rainbow Dash say as I jumped on her hoof.
"How do you think I feel?!" I said, still trying to get the saliva off me. "If I had to choose between getting eaten by Gummy or Opal, I'm going with the stuck-up cat. No offense Gummy." I said to my new gator friend.
"Nonetaken!" He said quickly without moving his lips or face in general.
Rainbow Dash brought me over to the tree, and I plucked off a few leaves to wipe myself clean of the saliva. By the time I got most of it off, I spoke up.
"Hey not to rush you or anything, but that reversal spell could come in really handy Twilight!" I called out.
"We have a problem every pony! This book doesn't have the right spell to undo transformations!" Twilight told all of us. "But don't worry, I'll just have Owlowiscious fly over to the library and get the right book." Twilight said as she started to wake him up.
But I already didn't like that idea. The one thing that stuck out to me was the word 'owl'. "Wait! Don't wake him up!" But I was too late as she woke up her pet owl.
And because of my yelling the owl looked up at me the second he woke up. He licked his beak, and I could hear a tired and groggy, yet satisfied and unnerving, "Oh... Lunch..."
As the owl took off towards me, Rainbow Dash, and Gummy, I thought on my feet and acted fast. "Aaaaaannnd, exit stage left!" I jumped off of Rainbow Dash's hoof and towards the ground right before Owlowiscious snatched me up.
I landed on my left arm, cushioning my fall. But I wasn't so good at landing perfectly, so I fell over and landed on my left ear, which started up some music.
To be exact, Desire for All That is Lost. Some fighting music from the game Kingdom Hearts that sounded like a orchestra was playing music for a chase scene. Which was basically what was going on right now.
Opal soon found me on the ground and got in front of me, ready to pounce. Then Owlowiscious came and got behind me, trapping me between two animals that were both hungry.
"Back off bird! He's mine" Opal hissed.
"This is my meal, Opal." Owlowiscious said calmly.
This was not good. I had to get away from here, and quick.
They both charged in and I acted fast. I jumped over Opal, who was on me first. Sadly, Owlowiscious was flying right at me, anticipating that I would jump over.
Quickly, I flipped over in mid-air and delivered a swift kick to the owl's under belly, making him fly off and make me land back on the ground. Right as I did though, Opal had turned around and was charging at me again like a crazed bull. I started running, the cat right behind me.
I tried to think of something else and the tree nearby was the only thing I had in mind. I made a sharp turn to my right, and with me being more aerodynamic, I was able to make that sharp a turn while Opal had to slow down a little, giving me a little breathing room.
I used this to my advantage and headed towards the tree, seeing that the ground around it was covered in roots. Roots that were just small enough for me to slip through.
I ran to the roots, weaving in and out of them to escape Opal, who idiotically went the exact same route I did. Sadly, she was pretty much all fur so she was able to slip through most of the roots with ease, but her collar, ribbon, and her fur either got caught and fell off, or got messed up.
The last root though, was the one that worked. I slid under the last one, the music still playing during all of this, and just barely fit. Opal went through it seconds later, and got stuck just like I hoped she would.
I wasted no time and ran away from those roots and back to my pile of stuff, knowing that I'd be okay there until the others could calm the two predators down. Though fate hated me as always, and had more 'entertaining plans' for me.
As soon as I stopped running to catch my breath since my little mouse heart wasn't built for so much energy usage. That, and the adrenaline rush was started to ware off. When I did stop, the owl had come back for seconds. Me being the main course for that round. He quickly swooped down and snatched me up with his talons, flying me high in the air. So high, that landing on my fake arm would be too much and crush it along with me.
That's when I tried to think of a way out, tensing up as the owl brought his talon up so he could see me.
"Don't worry my friend. I shall make this quick and painless." He told me as he got ready to eat me whole.
But I wasn't letting that happen. I acted fast and did the one thing that I could think of. Pester the bird. I bit down hard on his talon, making him let go of me in pain, but I grabbed on before I could fall. I then scurried up his talons and onto his back.
"Oh please let this work." I said as I grabbed two big feathers that were on his back.
"What are you-AH!" Owlowiscious cried out as I pulled on the two feathers, taking control of the bird. I pulled both feather forward and he was forced to go lower towards the ground.
"Holy guacamole!" Spike cried out as they all watched me fighting for my life, with the music still playing. "Look out!" He, along with a few of the others ducked in cover as me and the out of control bird flew close by all of them.
"Blitz, be careful!" Twilight warned me as they watched, not able to do much else without getting in the way.
I jumped off when I got close to the ground and Twilight caught him with her magic before he flew into a tree or something. I didn't give a second look as I ran in the opposite direction, trying to get away from that crazy bird.
I got back too where all my stuff was and tried to think of a way to escape these two for a little while.
That's when I got an idea. I can't go that fast by myself, but I could defiantly get somewhere if I had another way to travel.
I looked at all the stuff around me and saw a few thins I could use. First, I just needed a board.
"That's it!" Opal hissed out as she got back to where I was. It was obvious that she was only focused on one thing. Catching the mouse that put her through all this mess.
I acted quickly and took out another toothpick. This could go on for a while, and I couldn't keep this up forever. The effects of that thunder-cloud adrenaline would ware off completely sooner or later, and that might've been the only thing keeping me alive up till now.
With the toothpick, I broke it into two by snapping it over my knee. I then made a run for the tree one last time and jumped on it, using the two pieces of toothpick as sort of ice picks to climb the tree.
Sadly, Opal was able to climb up too by using her claws to climb up. About five feet in the air though, something happened. "SNAP!" Opal had dug her claws into a weaker part of the bark, which was about to fall off. She was only three feet off the ground, so I went ahead and sent her back down. I put myself between the loose bark and the tree and acted as a crowbar, separating the bark from the tree. It sent Opal, along with some pieces of bark, landing to the ground.
When I saw one piece of bark land near my stuff, I got an idea. The bark was in a rectangle shape more or less, and it was surrounded by some of the bits I had in my pocket earlier.
I put both these facts together and got an idea. Without a second thought, I jumped off the tree and ran towards the stuff. I looked it all over one last time and put my idea to action.
To help concentrate I turned off the music coming from my ear, it just getting repetitive at this point. I then started putting together all the stuff I had around me.
"Opal, that is quite enough." Rarity called to her. "This is not the right way to say hello to a new acquaintance, especially one that has been turned into something like a mouse." Rarity scolded Opal.
"Who?" Owlowiscious actually asked, which was all Twilight and the others could understand from him anyway.
"Owlowiscious, that mouse is our friend Blitz. Not an actual mouse." Twilight explained to him.
"Oh my!" He said, but only me and the others could understand. Once Twilight set him free of her magic, he flew over more calmly. "I am terribly sorry for how I acted towards you, Electric Blitz." He apologized. Guess Twilight mentioned me or something and gave him my full name.
"Don't sweat it. Makes us even for me piloting you around like a crazed fighter jet." I said as I quickly worked on my creation.
"I don't care!" Opal hissed. "Whatever he is, he's a rat! And he's going to pay for everything I went through!" Opal hissed at Rarity as she came towards me again.
Before any of them could stop her though, she got to me and bit down on my fake arm, shaking the crap out of me to try to keep me from getting away. "Sweet Mother of Annoyances, that is it! I've been chased around, eaten, regurgitated, flown around by an owl bent on eating me, I've fallen to my death twice now, and to top it off you can't leave me alone for ten seconds! All in the case of four minutes! Get off of me! NOW!" I demanded.
I was in no condition to be ticked off anymore. I had a perfectly good reason to snap at this point. To bad Opal didn't take me seriously. She shook me around like a rag doll, then smashed me into the ground. "Or else what?" Opal asked, 'playing with her food'.
That drove me on edge. I swear, my eyes went red or something because I only saw everything in red. I got up and grabbed onto four of Opal's six whiskers. This itself threw her for a loop and a half. "Or else... This!" I jumped up on Opal's nose and started pulling, blood boiling mad with rage.
"BLITZ DON'T!" All five of my friends, along with every pet there, tried to talk me out of it. They all apparently were afraid of what would happen if I pulled out Opal's whiskers.
But it was too late. By that point, all four of those whiskers were out, and I fell backwards from the force, whiskers in hand.
Opal went flying backwards a few feet from trying to pry me off of her. She held her face in both anger and pain. I knew that as soon as she stopped holding her face in pain, my next home would be the belly of a cat's stomach.
I ran back over to my pile of stuff. I had the piece of bark standing up on small pieces of toothpick, and two more pieces of toothpicks were stuck in it like axles. Finally, four gold bits around it that were acting as wheels.
Now I was about to put on the finishing touch. Opal's whiskers to tie the bit wheels to the toothpick axles.
I put on the front two, getting them fastened. "Twilight! You, and every pony else go to the library and find that spell!" I said to her.
"What about you?!" Rainbow Dash asked. "Were not just going to leave you here!" Being the Element of Loyalty, I didn't question why she questioned my plan.
"Me?! Heh... Well..." I started to tie the third bit to the toothpick axle.
"You're in for it now rat!" Opal hissed loudly as she got up and turned to where I was.
"I'm gonna take Opal for a walk!" I said, now working on the last wheel. As soon as it was tied down, I backed up a couple of steps and admired what I just built out of next to a pile of pocket junk.
A skateboard built for one clever mouse.
"Get my stuff and go, I'll be fine! In fact... Race ya to the library!" As Opal charged forward to get me, I started running towards my skateboard.
Right as Opal was behind me I jumped for it, landing on my skateboard. The force of it made me go forward and down the small hill we were on.
"Bye!" I called out as I went down the hill, Opal close behind. I left the five of them and their remaining pets gawking at all that just happened.
"Wow,thatmouseguy'sawesome!" Gummy said with no movement but a blink.
"I think he might need mental help." Owlowiscious noted as he landed on top of Tank, who was now on the ground.
"I wish... Him luck... Because Opal... Is furious..." Tank said slowly, adding onto what they said.
"No really? Here I thought Opal wanted to apologize for trying to eat him." Angel said hopping next to him.
Ironically, their owners were thinking the same thing.
"This is all my fault... I hope Blitz will be okay... I didn't mean for any this to happen." Fluttershy said with a sad face.
"It's okay Fluttershy, he doesn't blame you at all. But what we have to do is hurry up and find the reversal spell." Twilight reminded all of them.
"Oh, I hope my poor Opal will be fine. Those whiskers were like the piece to resistance for her appearance." All of them looked at Rarity. "What? Blitz will be fine, but this might not end well for my dear Opal."
"Well anyway, come on every pony! We need to get that reversal spell for Blitz before he's cat food!" Rainbow Dash said to all of them.
"To the library!" Pinkie Pie said out loud, pointing towards the library. Gummy bit onto her tail, and she started heading to the library, with every pony else right behind her.
As I went down the hill and towards a more crowded part of the park, I was laughing a little at the action. I could tell my little mouse heart was racing, and I was literally laughing at the face of danger and death, which had a face that was more feline than I imagined.
But as I went, I noticed just how many ponies were around us. If me or Opal hit one of them, they were in for it. I run into one of them, and they're getting clawed along with me.
Opal runs into one of them, they're still getting clawed along with Opal's size knocking them over.
I knew that I had to make them notice that we were coming, and a talking mouse would freak them out more than anything. So I choose to do the next best thing. Play music.
I quickly thought up a song and clicked my ear. That's when Without a Fight, by Hoobastank, started playing. It was pretty catchy, plus they wouldn't be offended or anything by it. That, and it was loud enough to get their attention and move before they got run over.
I passed by them, all of them either in awe or cheering. It was the first time they saw a mouse on a skateboard, playing music from his ear, along with an angry cat chasing me down.
The more I passed by, the more I just enjoyed the reactions.
A pony with headphones and cool looking shades said, "Rock on little mouse!" As she nodded her head to the music.
Next, Ginger Star saw us passing right by her as she sat there in shock. "What did I just see?" She asked herself. She was even more confused as she heard me laughing at her.
"Woah, that is so cool!" I heard some pony from behind a small crowd. I couldn't tell who it was other than it was a little filly with an orange coat.
"AH!" I heard Jumpy J say hysterically as he just barely got out-of-the-way, tripping over himself in the process. Honestly, he made Fluttershy look like one of the bravest ponies around.
Then I just barely saw a midnight blue pony in the distance underneath the shadow of a shady tree. He looked up from a book he was reading and saw us. "Ah, the circle of life... and then there's unnecessary noise..." He noted to himself as he watched us speed off. I just barely heard him say that with my ear that wasn't blaring rock music.
As I went though, I saw a rock coming up. I tried to turn out-of-the-way, but as I did a wheel popped off.
"Are you serious?!" I asked, annoyed at my bad luck. A few seconds later, my skateboard was steering towards the rock. It was just big enough to crash my whole skateboard into pieces too. I braced for impact, knowing there was no way out of this.
? ? ? POV
As I sat back on a tree branch, celebrating me getting the umbrella by relaxing, I heard some noise from below. I opened one eye and saw a mouse riding on a scooter like thing, trying to get away from the most annoying stuck-up cat in Equestria, Opal. The main reason Opal was chasing the mouse was obvious. He was a mouse. But there was something else that was wrong too.
Opal was furious looking at that mouse, and it didn't look like she was mad only because she had to actually run somewhere for once in her life to get something. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that Opal had a few whiskers missing.
The last time she lost a whisker was the worst for everyone else, pony and animal alike. Rumor has it, she clawed up a whole tree into mulch. With how much she loved to use those claws of hers, I wouldn't put it past the cat. Ever since then I learned to keep my distance because whenever I turned her down, she took rejection almost as worse as losing one of her precious whiskers.
Only this time she was missing four whiskers all at once. I could tell Opal was out for blood at this point. That mouse was going to need some serious help. I mean, I can't just let one of my rodent brethren fall victim to that little kitty.
"CRASH!" Before I could even stand up, the mouse crashed into a rock, going flying into the air like a confused bird. And unless I'm wrong about this, I'm pretty sure that mice don't turn into bats like caterpillars do with butterflies.
I had to act quickly before that mouse became part of the pavement, and then some of that ugly gooey cat food. Without really giving much thought, I pulled out my new umbrella and strapped on my pack, jumping off the high branch I was on.
I then opened up the umbrella just as a gust of wind came, blowing me in the direction of the flying mouse. "Hey dude!" I called out to the mouse.
He looked at me as he was spinning around in the air. "Grab on!" I ordered as I swung around on the umbrella. As soon as I swung it three times, I forced my whole body forward and used the momentum to make the umbrella go upside down. At that moment, the mouse got close enough, and I grabbed his tail just barely. The nw weight from the mouse made the umbrella go right side up.
I pulled him up and he grabbed the handle of the umbrella, safe now. I let go of his tail and he hung onto to the handle, looking down at the cat that was throwing a hissy-fit (pun intended). "You okay there dude?" I asked.
"Yeah, fine. Nice catch." He told me as he looked up and saw me. He rose an eyebrow at me, confused.
I wen ahead and guessed why he was confused. They're aren't that many, if any, raccoons at all in Ponyville or around it. Not even at that caretaker's cottage I keep hearing so much about. "Hold up. I know what your thinking. But I'm not from around here. I'm just a wanderer." I explained to him.
"That's not it." He told me. Now it was my turn to raise an eyebrow at him. That's usually what all animals around here think when they see me. All ponies really just think, 'That raccoon better not come near me!'. Either way, he wasn't thinking either. "What's with the golf bag of stuff? And the baseball cap?... And... Are you wearing a mask... over your mask?" He asked, very confused with my appearance.
It made slight sense why he was so confused. I mean, my secret identity confused most of my friends. "Well... I'll explain when were on the ground. First, we gotta get rid of little Ms. Stuck Up Furball down there." I said, using my tail to gesture to Opal.
"Yeah, probably a good idea." He told me. "But where do we go that's away from Opal?"
I thought for a second and came up with an idea. "I think I know a few friends that might be able to help. Just stay put my little rodent friend." I assured him as I leaned to the right, makin the umbrella turn to the right like a sail. It was heading in just the direction I wanted it to, the wind not questioning anything. Also to make it easier, we were pretty high up so I didn't have to worry about keeping this umbrella in the air all that much.
"Don't call me 'little rodent friend'. It's Blitz." He told me.
"Huh... Seems cool enough. Alright, Blitz it is then." I told him. He shook his head at me, but I think he appreciated it none the less.
"Wait, can we go to the library instead?" You see my friends-" I stopped him there though.
"Nah, my friends are probably gonna be more helpful. Besides, Opal down there is probably going to chase after us. That, and the libraries pretty darn boring." I said to him.
He was about to say something, but gave up and sighed. Guess I made a good enough point.
Blitz's POV
As we kept floating in the air on an umbrella, I noticed that we were headed to Sweet Apple Acres. More specifically, the clubhouse that was a little walk away from the main part of the farm. No offense to them, but I don't think the CMC would be more helpful in this case.
"So you know the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" I asked the double masked raccoon.
"So that's what CMC stands for huh?" He asked to no one in particular.
"What did you think it stood for?! Chariotpooling for Mouth-watering Cupcakes?!" I asked him. They only said their club name to EVERY PONY they could meet! Not only that, but they said it as loud as they possibly could.
He laughed at my joke none the less. "You got a point there. But hey it's not my fault! Those three never told me anything about their gang. I only saw 'CMC' inside their HQ somewhere."
At this point, I was questioning why I was still following his orders. I mean, he just happened to have an umbrella specifically for floating around. He had some kind of hand made golf bag full of random stuff. He talked like he knows everything. Heck, he's even wearing an actual mask. He's a raccoon, his fur makes it look like he's already wearing a mask for crying out loud! He seemed crazy... But still, he did basically save my life. I guess I didn't have a reason to question him.
"Okay, get ready for landing Blitz." The raccoon told me as he started to close up the umbrella.
"What?! We've gotta be forty feet in the air! Do you really think were going to survive a fall like that?!" I asked him angrily. Okay, now I had a reason to question him and his sanity.
"Don't worry! My friends always have it set up!" He assured me.
"Have what set up?!" I was still really mad. Okay, this raccoon was insane. No doubt about it.
"This!" He closed up the umbrella when we were right above the tree part of the treehouse. I braced for impact, knowing there was no way to stop from falling at this point. I stuck out my artificial arm and hoped for the best.
"WOO!" The raccoon said as we fell through the leaves. As soon as we got through the outer leaves, I saw a net set up.
We landed on it, it breaking our fall. I looked around, and when I saw it was safe, I rolled off the net and onto a nearby branch. "Really dude?! You couldn't have just said that there was a net where we were gonna land!"
"Yeah, but what's the fun in that?" He asked excitedly. I was in no mood for anymore fun at this point and just gave him a bored expression. Sadly, he didn't notice as he turned to face the clubhouse. "Now follow me Blitz! We still need to say hi and everything!" And with that, he walked off towards the door leaving me no choice but to follow the fool.
Once he got to the door, he knocked on it as hard as he could, which made it sound like some pony had thrown a few pebbles at the door. A few seconds later, one of the CMC answered the door.
She immediately smiled at seeing the raccoon. "Apple Bloom look who's here! It's that raccoon!" Sweetie Belle said as she saw us. Apparently, she was very happy to see him.
"Aww, and look'e here! The raccoon even brought a friend!" Apple Bloom said as she came over and saw me standing next to him. I was really confused at this point because any pony I had ever met would immediately freak out, scream, or be mad if they saw a raccoon and a mouse at their door.
"Aww, look at the little mouse." Sweetie Belle said as she picked me up, much to my displeasure. I tried to get out, but she didn't notice. "Wow, he's heavy for a little mouse." She noted, talking about my metal arm and leg.
"So what're ya doin here Mr. Raccoon?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Okay, you guys are never going to believe me! I found Blitz here riding on a small scooter thing while he tried to get away from Opal of all animals!" The raccoon explained. I'm guessing the fact that they couldn't understand him went right over his head.
"Uh... ya don't say?" Apple Bloom said, trying to pretend like she understood what he said.
"I know!" The raccoon said. "You should've seen it though, Blitz here was doing a really good job to get away from her, until he crashed into a rock and..." That's when he stopped and turned to me. "Wait a second, they can't understand me can they?" He asked me sarcastically.
Even though it was a lame excuse for a joke, I had to snicker a little at that. Nonetheless, I had to set the record straight. As I opened my mouth to explain, Scootaloo came out of nowhere on her scooter.
"Guys!" Scootaloo said as she came up to all of us, completely over-looking me and the raccoon. "You will never guess what happened!"
"What is it?! Did you find out another way we can earn our Cutie Marks?!" Sweetie Belle asked, excited.
"No, but it's still cool! So there I was, riding over to the clubhouse! When I saw a little mouse on a scooter thing made out wood and gold bits! He kept on shredding through the park, trying to get away from Opal! Then, he crashed into a rock and got some major air! Then, our raccoon friend we met a few days ago, came and caught him while floating by on an umbrella! I saw them coming towards the clubhouse, so I came to tell you too!" Scootaloo explained the whole story.
"Uh... Scootaloo?" Apple Bloom gestured for her to look down. When she saw us she smiled greatly at me. Oh she better not try to-
"This mouse is so awesome!" She said as she gave me a bear hug. "Let's keep him!" I went wide-eyed and tried to get away, or talk my way out of it. But her bear hug was crushing me so much I couldn't breath.
"Uh Scootaloo? You might want to let go, you're crushing him." Sweetie Belle told Scootaloo.
"Oh! Right sorry." She said sheepishly as she put me down. "If only this little guy could talk though. That'd make it so much cooler!"
"I... Can talk...Scootaloo" I said in between breaths.
"AH!" All three of them said, jumping away. The raccoon simply rose his eyebrows, impressed by that little fact.
Since Scootaloo jumped away, I fell to the ground, and rather uncomfortably. "H-h-how can you talk?!" Scootaloo asked, freaked out by my talking.
"It's me! Blitz!" I yelled out to them as soon as I caught my breath.
"Ya can't be Blitz! Our friend Blitz is a pegasus!" Apple Bloom said.
"Yes, I am Blitz." I told them calmly.
"Oh yeah?! Then prove it!" Scootaloo commanded me, not really convinced.
"Well, I'm still kind of mad that you three spilt love poison on me and Rainbow Dash." I reminded them. I knew it was an accident and that they apologized and everything, but I was still mad at them for that. I wasn't really known for forgiving so easily. If anything, I held grudges much longer than any pony else I knew.
"Hey, we said sorry! We didn't mean to do that!" Sweetie Belle defended. She then gasped, realizing. "It is you Blitz!"
"But how?! What happened to ya?" Apple Bloom asked me as she picked me up with her hoof.
"Well, what had happened was, me and the others all planned to meet at the park today..." I started explaining the story to them as we all went inside.
"...And that's how it all happened." I finished as I looked at them all. I was standing on the table with the raccoon sitting on the table too. The three CMC were looking to me from around the table.
"That's horrible! Opal's been a chasin you around all day?" Apple Bloom asked again.
"Yeah." I answered simply.
"Wow, you had to be pretty gutsy to pull four of Opal's whiskers out!" Scootaloo complimented. "That, or stupid." She added. I could've gone without that comment, but she did make a good point.
"And even gutsier and stupider of me to use her whiskers just to make that skateboard." I admitted.
"That's what you call it huh?" The raccoon asked rhetorically. "You gotta make me one of those one day." He told me.
"So what are we waiting around here for?" Sweetie Belle said, stepping up as leader. "We gotta get you to the library before Opal finds you."
"Yeah, your right. No telling what that cat's gonna do to me if she finds me. That, and lost my board so I have no way to get around." I told them.
"That's okay. I can get you there fast with my new umbrella." The raccoon said as he pulled his umbrella out of his golf bag.
"Wait a second!" Sweetie Belle said. "That's Rarity's favorite parasol! How did you get that Mr. Raccoon?" She asked.
The raccoon then just started whistling 'innocently' as he slowly put it back in his golf bag. "Wait a second, did you steal that?" I asked.
"No. She left in sitting there on the ground. Raccoons like me have a right to anything those ponies drop leave around as trash." He defended.
I sighed as I shook my head. I turned to the CMC, knowing that they didn't understand. "He said that he didn't steal it because Rairty put it on the ground."
"Mr. Raccoon, my sister didn't throw it away. She probably had to put it down real quick so she could do something else." Sweetie Belle told him.
"But-" The raccoon started, but Apple Bloom stopped him.
"No buts Mr. Raccoon!" Even though Apple Bloom couldn't understand him, it was kind of obvious what he was going to say. "Ya have ta return Rarity's parasol now." She told him. He sighed but nodded, admitting that he did the wrong thing.
"Well Rarity's at the library with every pony else, so let's hurry and get there. Besides, they've probably found a reverse spell by now." I said to all of them.
"Then hop on Blitz! We'll get you there in no time! Besides, maybe we'll get our Cutie Marks by helping you." Scootaloo said as I jumped on.
"Maybe it would look like a smiling mouse." Sweetie Belle said as she and the other three started going towards the door. The raccoon jumped on Sweetie Belle's back, riding her.
Right as they opened the door though, we were all unnerved to see what was behind us. An angry little persian cat, glaring right at me.
I groaned at the sight of Opal's glare. "ARE YOU SERIOUS!" Was all I could say before that cat longued at me once again.
Uh oh, guess the cats outta the bag now! I know, bad joke, but whether you scoffed or laughed at it, I'm stickin to it! Anyway, I know this chapter was way longer then the others, but since I haven't put up a chapter for five whole days, I owe to you all. Anyway, hope you all liked the chapter! Next one's up tomorrow!
QotC: Does that raccoon remind you of a different one? (There's an answer to this one, but I just want to see if any of you can guess it right)
