A Brony Life
Chapter 32: The Obvious Truth (Episode 5)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWhat is up every pony, and welcome to the final part of this episode! Glad to see you all reading to see the conclusion of this episode. But for some real talk here, I think I should talk about something this episode has portrayed so far.
Teenage dating is a very confusing thing, with both sides not taking it well when and if a break-up happens. And usually, both sides think that they're ri- *Gets hit in the head with an empty soda can* Okay fine, I'll shut up and quit stalling! Geeze! You give Pinkie one more chance to help narrate the intro and she finds my freaking soda mini-fridge!
Pinkie: *literally bouncing off walls from drinking twenty sodas* Start the chapter Zeke! *She yells out crazily and happily*
Me: Oh yeah?! Or what?! *I said, challenging Pinkie's craziness*
*Pinkie simply responds by staying in place and pulling out a chainsaw from literally no where and starts it up with a happy-go-lucky smile on her face*
A-and now let's start-up the chapter huh?! Pinkie, please! Just slowly put the chainsaw away while I finish the outro! Please!
Pinkie: Okay-Dokey-Lokey! *She throws the chainsaw behind her and keeps her smile the same*
Me: *sighs of relief* Okay, let's wrap this up before Pinkie finds the energy drinks!
3: GingerTyPerior. Wow, I didn't know that anyone would like Blitz that much! Lol.
2: Christ's Disciple. So are unicorn's your favorite type of pony in Equestria? Not trying to argue or anything, I'm just wondering since both of them are unicorns and all.
1: dazza the lucario. Something tells me that's one of the most loved parts about Pinkie. Though, it's not really making me appreciate her that much right now.
Pinkie: Actually, it's pretty easy to break fourth wall! The first thing you gotta do is t- *before she can explain further, I close her mouth*
Me: Pinkie, as much as I would love to meet all of my reviewers in the intro, I don't want an overload of them! Don't go around telling every human and pony how to break fourth wall!
Pinkie: So do you want me to tell them to go home? *She gestures to a group of both humans and ponies sitting on bleachers, waving at me*
Me: Uh... How did I miss all of them? *shakes head* Whatever, I'm finishing this up right now!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything MLP, any famous songs, or anything famous in general really. The only thing that's mine is this stories idea and Blitz.
Alright, let's start this up! Quickly!
Pinkie: Oh lookie here! Gatorade! *starts chugging it down*
Me: *eyes goes wide in fear* Cut to chapter, cut to chapter!
As me and Rarity kept walking, the hill was finally in view. And just like I hoped, almost all of us were there. Save for Spike and Twilight. Guess they're gonna come later. Gee, when we needed Spike to keep Twilight busy for a little while we didn't mean all day.
Sadly though, the fact that Rainbow Dash was here before Twilight and Spike was a problem. She kept pacing back and forth, trying to keep herself from looking at what was behind this giant curtain that was hiding something from view of one whole side of the hill.
"Blitz! There you are!" Rainbow Dash said as she ran up to me. "What took you so long?!" She yelled at me.
"Well, we would've been here quicker if some pony knew the definition of 'equal treatment'." I noted.
Rarity rolled her eyes out of view of me and un-hitched the cart from my back, also un-hooking the wagon from me."Any pony see Twilight or Spike?" I asked.
"Not since this morning." Pinkie said as she ate one of the things I helped her learn how to bake.
"By the way, Blitz? What are these things?" Applejack asked as she ate the same thing.
"It's called a churro. But Pinkie made them-" I ducked down before some frosting could hit me square in the face. Sadly, my tail wasn't low enough and it got hit in the cross-fire. I sighed. "So you can fill them with frosting." She had shot frosting from the churro she was eating like a spit-ball. And it was just as messy as one.
"Yeah that's cool, but can I see my present now?!" Rainbow Dash interrupted.
She was too anxious to see what it was, but I couldn't really blame her. There was a giant curtain blocking her way, and whatever that curtain was hiding had to be big. Which it was.
I turned to look one more time towards Ponyville, but didn't see one sign of Spike or Twilight. That is until I saw one thing. A nearby bush shaking a little. It was just a little too much for it to be a small animal to shake the whole bush. That, and I saw a familiar purple tail sticking out for a quick second before being pulled in.
I smiled, knowing that it was Spike that was in the bush. And if he was in there, then that meant that Twilight couldn't be that far behind. I then turned to Rainbow Dash. "Well since every ponies here, go on ahead." I told her.
She didn't even question it as she flew up to the curtain and grabbed it with her mouth. Rarity looked like she was going to faint from the sight of Rainbow Dash getting ready to rip her 'royal blue' curtain. While all this was going on though, Applejack turned to me.
"What do ya mean, 'since every ponies here'?" She questioned.
"You see that bush that's behind all of us?" I asked her. She turned and looked for it without caring if she got caught or anything. When she turned back to me, still confused, I continued. "I think we have a baby dragon trying to hide from all of us."
To prove me right, the bush shaked a little in response. Spike heard me and probably faceclawed at his own failure. Applejack saw this and shook her head at the sight.
"Poor Spike can't even see the-" "An obstacle course?!" Rainbow Dash interrupted, astonished at the sight.
Yes, an obstacle course. All of them thought it was perfect for it being not just Friend's Day, but her own birthday too. Sure it was the only gift she was getting from all of us, not including Twilight, but it was still good enough to make up for that.
"Yep. All of us chipped in to help-" But before I could even finish saying just that, I was hugged to death by Rainbow Dash. Something I never even thought to expect.
"Thank you!" She said. And just as quickly as she hugged me, she was gone to the obstacle course. Which was no joke. We went all out making it. I had it to the point where even some pony that dedicated their life to flying, cue picture of Rainbow Dash, would even have a hard problem getting through it all. It tested strength, speed, agility, wind resistance, and a bunch of other stuff that I would probably bore anyone to tears if I explained it all.
"Okay that was unexpected." Was all I could say as I landed back on the ground. All of us just laughed at that, me included.
That's when I thought the rest of this day was just going to be pure celebration... That is until a crazed familiar purple dragon jumped out of the nearby bush and landed on me, forcing me to the ground with the element of surprise.
"Spike!" Almost all of us yelled out, not counting me who was being choked just a little, Rainbow Dash who was testing out her new obstacle course, or Pinkie which was expecting this with her Pinkie Senses.
"You got some nerve Blitz!" Spike yelled at me, shaking my head while I was on the ground. Because of that, my head was being hit into the ground, barely letting me talk.
"What!" Thump. "Are!" Thump. "You!" Thump. "Talking abou-" Thump. It was no use. I was being shaken up to the point where I could barely say anything but one word at a time. Since I was being choked lightly, but probably not by purpose, and I was on my wings, I couldn't get away from Spike without bucking him off. Something that wasn't really necessary... Yet.
"Spike, get off of Blitz." Twilight said calmly. She levitated the thrashing dragon off me, letting me get up and catch my breath.
"Sorry about that Blitz, but you do owe us an explanation." She continued to say calmly.
The calming voice had a hint of anger in it. Not only that, but she had a frown directed right at me. "Now hold on a sec Twi. What the hay did Blitz do to y'all exactly?" Applejack asked.
"It's not what he did to us Applejack. It's what he's done to all of you." Twilight said to her.
That just made us all even more confused. "And what exactly did I do?" I asked, my breath caught now.
Sadly, my only answer was another tackle from Spike. "Don't act all innocent! You know what you did!" He told me.
Really, I didn't. But I did know what he would do. I knew that he was going to tackle me down again before all this would start to make sense. So I was ready for that. "No, but I did know that you were going to tackle me again." I said with a slight smirk.
He was confused until I pointed under him. And under him was, my tail. Pulled back like a catapult. "Woah!" He said as he was catapulted off of me. My tail wasn't really pulled back all that much so he only went flying a few feet.
"Now will some pony please tell me what I did to deserve the dragon patrol to attack me." I said calmly as I got up. There was no point in getting as mad as Spike and getting in a fight with him.
"What you did was that your double-crossing every pony up here!" Spike yelled out to me. I don't know what I did to make him so angry at me, but apparently whatever I did brought him over the edge.
"Huh?!" All of us asked, save for Twilight, Spike, and Rainbow Dash who wasn't even listening to the whole conversation.
Twilight then sighed and walked up to me. "Blitz, don't lie to us. Me and Spike both know that you're dating all of our friends."
"What?!" I asked right away. Okay, something was defiantly wrong here. The others just sat with their jaws hitting the ground in shock.
"We saw everything Blitz, so just come clean. Please?" Twilight asked, looking like she was in pain from being sad.
As I looked at her sad expression and Spike's glare I realized that they weren't joking. They honestly thought that I was dating every pony else.
As much as I knew that they believed that, and thought this was no joke... That didn't stop me from smiling a little. The more I thought about me somehow dating five mares simultaneously was too much to bare.
I had to cover my mouth, I was about to burst out laughing. Sadly, it didn't stop me from snickering at them.
They both rose an eyebrow at my snickering, and right as they were about to question what was so funny, Pinkie Pie started to snicker about it too. Then Applejack. Next Rarity. And finally Fluttershy.
We all thought the same thing. What is Twilight thinking?
Pinkie was the first to burst out laughing. Followed by me and the others. Pinkie was rolling around in the ground in laughter, Applejack covered her whole muzzle with her hat, trying real hard to stop laughing. Rarity pulled over some couch I don't remember her bringing and fell over on it in laughter. Fluttershy was lucky enough not to laugh so hard so she was able to stay standing.
Me? I just fell to the ground, holding my stomach so it wouldn't hurt so much from laughing.
"What are you all laughing about?!" Twilight asked, completely shocked by our reactions. She didn't expect anything like this.
"What's going on?" Rainbow Dash asked. flying over to us. She had missed everything.
"Spike and Twilight think I'm dating all of you! And at the same time no less!" I said, trying to stop laughing.
Not three seconds later, Rainbow Dash fell to the ground next to me laughing. She didn't even last as long as we did.
"Wait, you're not dating all of them?!" Twilight asked, really confused.
I was able to stop laughing long enough to stand and talk a little. "Twilight. As much as I may seem like a 'player', I'm not dating any pony!" I told her. "What gave you two that idea anyway?!" I asked her.
"What gave us that idea was how you've acted to every pony all day. Food fights with Pinkie, inviting every pony to the hill..." Twilight started to note.
"Kiss on the cheek from Rarity..." I barely heard Spike mumble. Since I was the only one close enough to here that wasn't still laughing, only me and Twilight heard him.
"Twilight please!" Rarity began. "Even though we can tolerate Blitz a friend, we think nothing more of him than that!"
"Yeah Twi! Blitz might be nice n' all, but he ain't really a catch. What with all his weaslin and all, he ain't that honest!" Applejack started.
"Ouch..." I said quietly.
"Plus, he's not exactly chivalrous." Rarity added.
"Double ouch..." I said normally.
"He can't really bake anything." Pinkie added on.
"Am I even here?" I asked them all.
"He can get really mad at times... Sorry Blitz..." Fluttershy quietly added, but we all heard her.
"Did you all plan this out?!" I asked them, getting a little irritated. They all seemed to have something to say.
"Your kind of addicted to building stuff." Spike added.
"Who even asked you?!" I asked him, getting even more mad.
"Your probably not even that fast a flyer with all that metal you carry around." Rainbow Dash added.
"Do I even have to be here?!" I asked, about ready to explode.
"Plus that shark tooth necklace doesn't match his mane at all." Rarity continued.
"Okay, we all get it! I'm not perfect! Can we move on?!" I bursted out. I was getting tired of this.
They all laughed at the roast I had just gotten. "Sorry Blitz, but we couldn't miss a free shot at you!" Rainbow Dash told me.
"Moving on!" I began. I took a deep breath, calming down. I quickly counted to ten in my head and continued. "First off, I was showing Pinkie Pie how to make churros. And she kept saying how they were like straws after she made them hollow so she use it and some frosting as..." I looked behind me and saw Pinkie about to fire more frosting at me. I ducked down right as she fired and somehow it missed me and my tail, hitting Twilight in the face "dessert spit-balls." I finished.
"Okay..." Twilight said as she wiped the frosting off of her face. "But what about you inviting all of them to the hill?"
"That's where Rainbow Dash's surprise was. After she got her surprise we were all going to have a picnic up here. Didn't you get the note I put on your door?" I asked her. After I took care of Twilight's Friend's Day gift, I left a note on her door to come to this hill after she went inside.
"What note?" She asked. She looked to Spike who wasn't glaring at me now and was looking towards the ground in shame. "Spike?"
"Sorry Twilight. I forgot to get you to come back to the house. Because Blitz and the others went ahead and gave you your Friend's Day present while we were out." Spike apologized.
"And he couldn't tell you any of this before because Pinkie Pie made us all Pinkie Promise to keep this surprise a secret." Before Pinkie could say I broke the promise, I stopped her. "Key word being surprise. And since the surprise has already happened it there by made the Pinkie Promise null and void." Pinkie stood down, and I enjoyed my victory silently for a few seconds.
"Wow... I can't believe we thought that you were dating every pony here. It's kind of silly really, we thought you might've done so and didn't know it was wrong." She explained.
"Didn't know it was wrong? How would I not know that was wrong?" I asked. Was it even possible for some pony to be so clueless?
"We thought it was your world's culture that made you think it was okay." Twilight explained the excuse.
"There are some people who do that, but it's still wrong. My cultures just about the same as yours, minus the magic." I reminded her. "By the way, you never saw your gift?" I asked.
"No. What gift?" Twilight asked.
I sighed and shook my head. "How any pony can miss it's beyond me." I then turned to the others, who were letting me explain the whole thing. "Are all of you okay with us going back to the library?"
"Sure, why not." Applejack said, starting to pack up the picnic.
"Alright, if we must." Rarity said. I started to calmly make my way over towards Twilight and Spike, standing just a little farther back so I wouldn't be tricked into carrying the cart again. If anything, lover dragon over here can carry it to his heart's content.
"But what about the obstacle course?!" Rainbow Dash asked, wanting to go back to it.
"It's foundation is sturdy enough. That thing isn't going anywhere." I told her. She sighed, and just went along with it.
"Yay! Party at the library!" Pinkie said, jumping in the air with glee. I didn't see the joy in parties in libraries, but she did so I kept quiet.
"Well then let's go then." Twilight said, starting to make her way back to the library. As she went, she used her magic to bring her wagon over.
We all followed suit. Right as I took flight though, Rarity attached the cart to me again, grounding me. I groaned, but didn't even object at this point. I wasn't getting in yet another argument today. At least it didn't have the wagon attached this time.
"Thank you Blitz." Rarity said as she passed me with a smirk. She knew I was trying to avoid it, but she still somehow made me carry it again.
Spike then jumped on top of the cart, enjoying my annoyance. As soon as the others were farther ahead, I looked at him. "Spike I can probably burp lightning, do you still want to tick me off anymore then you already have?" I challenged him.
"Hehehe..." He chuckled nervously as he jumped off and ran over to Twilight. Burp lightning huh? If it wasn't so gross to most ponies I would probably do that everyday just for the heck of it.
When we finally got to the library, I got the cart off of me, tricking Rarity into levitating all the gifts inside instead of making me and Spike have to carry them in. How I accomplished that, I can't even remember.
We all stood by the door waiting for Twilight to go through. Since I was closest to the door, I went ahead and ripped off the note. There was no point in that anymore.
Then Twilight went inside, with all of us following her in. Spike closed the door behind all of us, not wanting any pony that was nearby to hear the sound Twilight was going to make in three... two... one...
"EEE!" Twilight squealed with happiness as she looked all around her room. Because every single shelf was different.
The old dusty, and slightly broken shelves were now replaced with brand new ones. Not only that, but thanks to me and Rarity's hard work, they were sanded, painted, and fit perfectly in place.
Thanks to Spike's directions, all the books were in their exact place so it wasn't unorganized. Also, Applejack and Rainbow Dash helped carry all the shelves in and out.
Finally, Fluttershy and her animals, along with Pinkie Pie kept watch to make sure Twilight wouldn't see any of it. So it was a group effort. All according to Spike's plan.
"Thank you all!" Twilight said, pulling us all in for a hug. We all accepted it, glad she appreciated it.
"Thank Spike! He come up with the idea!" Pinkie Pie said. Spike never made us Pinkie Promise to keep that a secret, so he couldn't stop us from telling that.
Twilight started hugging him next, very thankful. Every pony here knew how much the library meant to Twilight, so we all thought it was the perfect gift for her. Spike especially since he was Twilight's assistant after all.
"Well, I think this all calls for a big party!" Pinkie announced to us all. We all nodded, happy with that idea. She then rolled in her party cannon and fired it. The noise and confetti made us all close our eyes. As soon as we all opened our eyes, the place had been covered in party decorations and all the food was laid out, Pinkie Pie style. How Pinkie Pie does all this, I don't even think I wanna know.
Spike's POV
That party had to be one of the best ones we've all had yet! Pinkie went all out on this one! And not only that, but I got to enjoy my gem cake without any of the gems disappearing!
All the gifts I got were great too! I had to pace myself because I didn't want a repeat of my birthday, but it was worth the wait.
Blitz had built a small custom safe for me to put my gems in. Pinkie got me a great recipe for gem cupcakes that I have got to try out sometime. Twilight got me some enchanted glasses that let you see gems that are underground. Applejack gave me a small gem apple pie to eat, which was great! Fluttershy had gotten me a picture of Pee-Wee and how he was doing. I miss him so it was great that I got a picture of him. Rainbow Dash got me a simple big pile of gems. It was still great though because they all looked delicious.
Finally, Rarity gave me an amazing apron that had so many gems all over it. I knew I couldn't eat something like that, but I'm still going to cherish it for as long as I live. To bad that with all the happened, I never got a chance to tell her how I feel. I wish it was so much easier to do.
To bad none of my male friends have the same problem. If they did I could just ask them to help me out with this. Maybe give me a few pointers.
After every pony left, it was just me and Twilight. Most of us cleaned up our mess, but there were a few things that I had to clean up. Luckily, Twilight helped.
It only took a minute or two though before Twilight found something. "Oh no, Blitz forgot his blueprint book! Spike, could you hurry and take it to him? He couldn't have gotten far." She told me.
"Sure Twilight." I said. Like Twilight said, he's probably not that far away. That, and I owe him at least this for attacking him earlier. After all, I probably hurt him more than I wanted to in the first place.
So I took the book and ran outside. Luckily, I just barely saw a lightning bolt tail round the corner, so I found him. I ran in that direction, running as fast as I could to catch up.
When I finally saw him, we were about on the outskirts of Ponyville. The library wasn't that far off so I didn't have to run to far. Ahead of me was Blitz talking to Rainbow Dash. It seemed normal enough since both their houses were in the same direction and the party had worn us all out.
"I still can't believe that Twilight thought all of that!" Rainbow Dash said just loud enough for me to hear from where I was. She sounded like she was about to laugh again.
"No kidding! No offense to Twilight or Spike, but who can even think that I could date five mares at the same time?" Blitz asked, sounding like he was about to laugh too. He was also carrying the cart from earlier, it being a gift from Rarity. That alone was
Not wanting to interrupt them, I quickly jumped into a nearby bush, this time making sure my stupid tail wasn't sticking out. Luckily, they didn't hear me either.
"Yeah! I've never even heard of something like that." Rainbow Dash said as she started to laugh a little.
"I know. I mean think of how funny that would be if it were true." Blitz said as he started to laugh too.
"Actually, just the idea of us dating is hilarious!" Rainbow Dash said as she started to laugh completely.
Blitz joined in, thinking it was just as funny. Wow, they really thought the idea of it was that funny? They had a point though, it was kinda dumb to think Blitz was dating all five of them.
As the stopped laughing, it sounded more like they regretted laughing. As if they didn't think it was funny anymore. And after I saw their faces as they drew back their laughter, I smirked at the opportunity. Looks like I just found a friend who's in the same boat as me.
Blitz's POV
Yeesh, this is getting awkward. I gotta get out of here. "So... See you tomorrow?" I asked, not able to say much else.
"Sure... See ya." She then flew off towards her house, as I started heading towards mine.
"Man, what happened there?" I asked myself. I don't even know why it was getting all awkward, it just did all of a sudden.
"Hi there Blitz!" I turned and saw Spike of all dragons come out of a bush nearby with a book in han. Really? Does that guy even know what privacy is?
"And the baby bush dragon enters..." I said, getting angry. "And I can help you how?" I asked him.
"Actually, I was thinking we can both help each other." Spike told me as he tossed the book he had. I caught it and saw that it was my blueprint book. Okay, so he didn't follow me on purpose. I tossed it onto my new cart and turned back to him.
"Like how? I teach you to be tougher by using you as a punching bag?" I said. Seemed to help us both in my mind. I know saying that was a little over the top, but I was tired, and he was getting on my last nerve today.
"Nuh-uh." He said with a sly smirk. He had something planned. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. After all, wouldn't want me to tell every pony about your secret crush would we?"
"What?!" I said, getting even angrier. Okay, Spike was really pushing it. I do not have a crush on Rainbow Dash, and I never will... "Spike, your on thin ice right now..." I warned him.
"Come on Blitz. I can be a reasonable dragon... I'll keep quiet as long as you help me how to be better with my crush too." He told me.
Oh, that's it huh? He thinks he can really blackmail me into being his wingpony for helping to win over Rarity? Fine, two can play at this game.
"Listen Spike..." I started, acting really calm now and putting my weaseling to work. Spike started to frown, knowing that I had a plan. "You're a library assistant right?"
"Yeah..." He said, confused.
"Then let me say this in a way you can understand." I walked up to him and sat down in front of him, the cart still hooked up to me. "If I see you publishing this fantasy story of yours to any pony else, then I think I'll publish a non-fiction story titled, 'The Dragon and the Unicorn'. You get me?" I asked him, frowning slightly at him.
"Y-you know I have a crush on Rarity?" He asked me, now really caught off guard.
"He... I do now." I said to him. He was shocked that he had just admitted it to me. "Two things you might want to know about trying to make sly moves like this. One, never try to trick a weasel. Two, don't admit something unless you are completely sure that they know what you're talking about." I told him.
He bowed his head in defeat, knowing that I had a point. What caught me off guard though is that he was smiling a few seconds later. "Thanks for the advice Blitz."
"Now what's going on in your head?" I asked. Whatever it was, it wasn't good for me.
"I still know that we're even. You don't tell any pony about my crush with Rarity, and I won't tell about your crush with Rainbow Dash. And you still have to help me out. Deal?" He asked with a sickly sweet smile as he extended a claw.
"Let's get this one thing straight. I do not have a crush on Rainbow Dash." I told him straight up. Still, I couldn't have him spreading that rumor around. Who knows who would hear it. "But fine." I said, shaking his claw.
"Yes!" Spike said, happy that he tricked me into helping.
"Okay, your first lesson is..." I tried to think of something that would help me. I then got an idea and unhooked my cart, tying it to Spike. "Learning how to be tough. So show me you can be tough by bringing this cart down the street to my house." I told him as simply as possible.
"Yes sir!" He then started to bring the cart to my house, which was only half a minute from where we were.
As I saw him pull it, I barely kept myself from laughing, but managed. "Oh this is going to be too easy." I said to myself. I followed after him thinking, As long as I keep my end of the deal, he'll keep his mouth shut about my crush with Rainbow Dash...Which I don't have... I went ahead and just focused on Spike's 'lesson' instead of thinking about any of this too much. I mean, I'm really tired right now and I can't even think straight. Probably the only reason Spike tricked me into helping him anyway.
"Almost... Got it!" Spike had moved the cart... A whole five feet.
I sighed and got behind the cart, pushing it from behind. "Come on Spike. Only fifty-five more feet to go." I told him. This was going to be harder than I thought.
And there ends this episode! And while were ending stuff, I finally got Pinkie out of my intros! You see, while she was literally cracking the fourth wall wide open after drinking that Gatorade, I tricked her into signing one of those long worded contracts that no human or pony even wants to read one page of. Now the only way she can even try to break in is if enough reviewers demand it.
Getting back on topic, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter! See you all next time when the next episode starts up! Goodbye every pony!
QotC: Should Pinkie, or any pony else, be allowed to break back into the intros?
