A Brony Life
Chapter 7: The cure and the truth
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHey! I'm BAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKK! Yeah, I know I said I wouldn't be putting that many chapters up during my week off from school, but I at least wanted to finish up the day in this story. I might also put in one more chapter, but I don't think I can. Turns out my mom needs surgery so she's going to be out of commission a few days. Which means me and my step-dad will need to cook, look after the dogs, and other stuff. So yeah, see you all maybe towards the end of the week.
Scootaloo and Fluttershy were going around the sky, on the look out for Blitz and Dash. Scootaloo was on a small, lone cloud, using her wings to get around as if she was on a flying scooter. Fluttershy was right next to her, flying next to the cloud.
"Do you see either of them yet?" Scootaloo asked.
"No. Maybe Applejack and the others already stopped them and- oh wait. No, there they are." Fluttershy said calmly as she pointed over to the two, who were sitting on a cloud. They were looking out towards the sun, which was about to be a sunset.
"Great! Now, all we have to do is separate them." Scootaloo said.
"I don't know. What if they get mad at us for trying to separate them?" Fluttershy asked, thinking that if they made Blitz and Dash mad by separating them, they would attack her and Scootaloo.
"Then I guess you can be the Mare of Honor." Scootaloo said to Fluttershy, which made her understand how important it was. Fluttershy shook her head no. "Good, then come on. I got a plan." They went over to the two.
Scootaloo tried her idea. "Hey Rainbow Dash, look! It's the Wonderbolt's!" Scootaloo exclaimed as she pointed in a random direction.
Rainbow Dash simply shrugged it off and Scootaloo's jaw dropped. She looked where she was pointing and ironically there was an actual wonderbolt. Spitfire to be exact. "Rainbow Dash, it's Spitfire! You know, your idol!" Scootaloo yelled as she looked at Rainbow Dash.
"I don't need an idol. I have my Android Cuddle Bear." Rainbow Dash said as she leaned on Blitz.
"But, but, but... What?" Scootaloo thought that would get through to Rainbow Dash at least a little.
Fluttershy then thought of something. "Um... Blitz? Your sitting on a rain cloud. You might rust up." Scootaloo was confused about what sense that made, but Blitz just shrugged.
"I'm perfectly fine as long as I'm with my Rainbow Speed Demon." Blitz said. They each stared into each others eyes and flashed purple for the umpteenth time again.
Scootaloo backed up, as did Fluttershy. "How are we supposed to get them separated?
"I think I have an idea." Twilight said as she flew up with the butterfly wings.
"Awesome! What is it? Giant barrier? Some blinding spell? Teleporting?" Scootaloo asked with a determination to help her idol.
"No. The others gave me an idea. We just need to trick them into going to Zecora's." Twilight explained.
"Okay. So how do we do that?" Scootaloo asked again.
"It's going to be like how you three tricked Big Mac and Cheerliee into separating to get married." Twilight said. "What were going to do is..." She huddled up with Scootaloo and Fluttershy so they could hear it, but not Rainbow Dash or Blitz.
When they were done they all nodded and Scootaloo and Fluttershy left towards Zecora, leaving Twilight to deal with the problem. She flew over with a smile. "Hey you two. How are you doing?" She asked friendly.
"Were perfect, right here." Rainbow Dash said as she looked at Blitz.
"Great! You know, I'm surprised you two haven't taken the next step. Marriage." Twilight said smiling, already putting her plan to action.
They both smiled, then frowned. "We wish. Were to young for that." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight was a little ticked that the poison wasn't strong enough to make them ignore that little detail, but her smile didn't falter.
"Well, Zecora can help. She can perform a ritual that can get you two married." As soon as Twilight finished that sentence, Rainbow Dash and Bllitz were already flying towards Zecora's hut as fast as they could. Twilight smiled a little more, knowing her plan was working. She flew after them towards Zecora's hut, where everpony else was waiting.
As the two love poison victims got to the hut in question, they didn't see anypony there. Only some wierd giant symbol in the ground. "Hello? Zecora?" Rainbow Dash called out, hoping that she was here.
"NOW!" Applejack called out. She and Big Mac, which Applejack brought on the way over to Zecora's, both through rope at Rainbow Dash, both catching her from different legs. There was no way Rainbow Dash could use the rope against them and she was caught.
"Rainbow Speed Demon!" Blitz cried out in shock. He charged for the rope Big Mac had, but was stopped once again by Rarity's magic. They were both captured and had no way to escape.
Twilight landed then, seeing them both captured. "Were sorry, but this is the only way to cure you both." They weren't really listening, as they tried to get to one another.
"With them both in place, put them in the symbol's base." Zecora instructed as she came out with a small bottle in hand and Spike next to her.
"You got it Zecora! Big Mac, move em to the middle!" Applejack instructed. "Eyup" Big Mac agreed as he and Applejack moved Rainbow Dash over to the center of the symbol.
"Alright." Rarity said. As she moved Blitz to the symbol, Blitz tried to get out as hard as he could. After Blitz twitched, Rarity's magic around him broke and he was free. Sadly for him, Twilight was ready for this and caught Blitz herself with her magic, which was way stronger. She moved him to the center and he was put in place with Rainbow Dash.
As soon as they were in place, Zecora nodded to Spike. He then walked over to the side of the symbol and breathed fire on it, making the rest of the symbol light up on fire. Everyone was far enough away so they wouldn't be burned. As for Rainbow Dash and Blitz, they were surrounded by flames that acted as a cell. There was no room for them to spread their wings to fly, so they were stuck.
The flames then turned purple and went towards Blitz and Dash, covering them in the purple flames. After a few seconds, the flames went away and Dah and Blitz were sitting there, rubbing their heads since they had a bad headache.
Blitz POV
Uh... What happened? I feel as if my head just got hit by a train. When I looked up I saw that everyone around me was looking at me and Rainbow Dash, who looked like she had just as bad a headache as me. "Okay... Why do I have a really bad headache? And why are we in some swamp looking place?" Everyone then either sighed in relief or cheered. "Hello? Anyo-pony want to fill me in here?" I almost said anyone, but they were all to happy to notice.
"Me too. Why do I feel like I just crashed into a wall?" Rainbow Dash asked as she rubbed her head just like me.
"Well, you both fell in love." Twilight said. "What?" Me and Rainbow Dash asked simultaneously.
"You called each other Rainbow Speed Demon and Android Cuddle Bear." Apple Bloom said with a snicker. "What?" We both asked again. I had no idea what they meant by that.
"We decided that neither of you like pink, and Gummy made a new friend!" Pinkie Pie said as she held up an alligator that didn't have teeth. "Huh?" Okay, what did that even mean?
"Rainbow Dash turned down meeting Spitfire from the Wonderbolts just to be with Blitz." Scootaloo said. "WHAT?!" Rainbow Dash asked, screaming into my good ear since she was right next to me. It made my headache even worse, but somehow I was still able to hear.
"And we had to trick you two to get into this magical ritual to get rid of the love poison by telling you Zecora could marry you two." Fluttershy of all people/ponies summed up. "What?!" We both said at the same time, shocked.
"Okay, hold on a second, can one of you just tell the whole story?" I asked. I don't know if I wanted to listen to this story or not, but I was too curious to ignore whatever happened.
Well, I really am speechless. They all took turns telling the story from their point of view, from when we blacked out because of the potion, to when we got here. During the story, the CMC and Big Mac all went home because it was already dark when all of us got here, so it was just the mane six, Zecora, and me. "All of that happened?" I asked.
They all nodded simultaneously. With all of them circled around us, it was like they were witches. To add onto the wierd ambiance, we were in the middle of a swamp, in front of a shaman's house, and we were standing on a wierd looking symbol. "At least it's over." Rainbow Dash said, which I nodded to in agreement.
"Ya know, it was probably a good thing that potion fell on y'all." Applejack said. We both frowned because we were mad and confused as to why she said that.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"She does have a point. If that potion never spilt on you two, then you would have just kept arguing." Twilight said.
I opened my mouth to say she was exaggerating, but when I couldn't think of anything to say against that, I just closed it right back.
"Okay, maybe we went to far on the prank war." Rainbow Dash admitted.
"Yeah, your right. Sorry I called you a turtle, Rainbow Dash. And sorry I mocked your pranks." I said, sincerely... Wait, why does this sound like were at the end of the cheesy cartoon?
"It's alright. Sorry I called you a robot, Blitz." Rainbow Dash said. "Truce?" She held out her hoof to shake.
"Truce." I agreed and we shook hooves. As soon as she touched my left hoof though, she immediately took her hoof back.
"OW! Why does your hoof feel like it's on fire?!" She asked while waving her burnt hoof in the air.
"Huh?" I looked at my left hoof and thought of something. The flames must've made the metal as hot as a gas oven.
To test it, I picked up a leaf that was next to me and put it on my left arm. It started smoking and sizzling. After a few seconds, it caught fire. "Woah!" I yelled out as I put it on the ground and put it out.
Without even looking, I could tell that all eyes were on me. Good thing I didn't have stage fright. "I can explain." I said calmly with a sigh. I looked up and sure enough they were all looking at me, wondering what happened.
"My tail isn't the only thing made of metal." I said. They all walked over so they weren't all spread out.
"So, your front left hoof is made of metal too?" Twilight asked.
I couldn't hide the truth. With all that's gone on either way they would walk away and ignore me from here on out. Way to go Blitz, you lost all your friends in just two days. "Yes, but that's not all. My whole front left leg is metal, along with my tail, left ear, some of my heart, and some other parts." I said, looking down because I didn't want to see their shocked/disgusted faces.
"Oh my. You poor thing." Fluttershy said. Pity, the first reaction I usually get.
"How could anypony live like that?" Rarity asked with amazement and what sounded like disgust. Ah, disgust. The second reaction.
"How did all of this happen?" Twilight asked next. Curiousness. The third reaction. I simply sighed at that, remembering it all to well.
Now for the fourth reaction I get. Seperation and fear. The one where everyone treats me like the freak that has no emotions since I'm 'part robot'.
"Do you have, like, super mega robot powers?!" Pinkie asked as she acted and talked like a stereotypical robot. And there was the reaction of... Wait, what did she ask?
"What?" I said with confusion, as I looked at Pinkie.
"Do. You. Have. Robot. Powers?" Pinkie said, still talking and acting like a robot.
"I... I don't get it... How come you guys aren't treating me like a freak?" I asked, very confused. Were these ponies stupid or something, everyone always thinks I'm a freak.
"Why would we treat you like a freak? It's not like your any different by being a robot or anything. " Rainbow Dash said, confused herself.
"It's because I'm part robot. Everybo-pony always treats me like a freak because I'm not... All me." I said, pointing to my metal leg.
"Just because you are not organic, does not mean we should all panic." Zecora told me as she went over to us, bringing over a wet rag for me to cool down my leg.
I took the wet rag and started cooling off my leg. I really didn't know what to say. "I... I... Thank you. Thank you all." I said, stunned that they're treating me no different. I was so happy that I actually had a few friends that liked me, even with the robot part of me. I didn't do anything like tear up or anything, mainly because I learned the hard way that crying doesn't help anything but make you look like a loser, but that's a story for another day.
To stop the moment from getting anymore touching, Applejack yawned, then spoke up. "Whooowe! It's gettin late everypony, we should hit the hay." She said.
"Applejack's right. It's pretty late." Twilight agreed. I just shrugged, not caring how late it was.
"Wait, robots don't even need to sleep?! That means you could have a party at any moment you wanted!" Pinkie Pie deduced. Did everything she think of lead to parties?
I shook my head at her, talking in third person for laughs. "No, us robots need to sleep too. I'm just a night owl." I explained.
"Well just because you're a Night Owl, doesn't mean we are. Someponies need their buety sleep." Rarity said.
After that we all headed to our homes, me going back to the barn. Really, I need to stop being a mooch and get my own place. Maybe I can keep this bale of hay as a bed though, because this thing is way more comfy then it should be.
And there is the second day! I won't make EVERY day like this, some days there will be nothing and will move on without some action, but the first few will have something. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Please leave a review saying how cool, or lame, my story was. It lets me know just how to improve it.
Question of the chapter: If you can have one superpower, BUT JUST ONE, what would it be?
And I don't mean some thing vague like spider powers. I mean something like climbing on walls, OR shooting webs, OR spider senses.
All review answers will be put on top of the next chapter!
