Don't Lose Track
Chapter 3: 3. Chapter 3: Day 2, Progress
Previous ChapterSo it's been awhile but I have other projects so it's only natural. And football is a real big pain right now. Enjoy.
When I had awoken, I suffered from a great headache. I rubbed my head and hopped out of bed but immediately fell down. I tried to walk like I had two legs still. I got back up and steadied myself as I started moving. I then heard the bed moving. I looked back and saw Vinyl laying on the bed looking at me. Her hair was ruffled and she had her glasses off revealing the light red shade of her eyes.
"Oh that was good. Leaving so soon?" She asked. In my head I was flipping out. Did I do it with a fucking horse?
"Wha-" I said rubbing my head more. On the outside I was basically frozen stiff giving this weird look.
"I'm just kidding! You passed out after leaving the stage so I carried you home." She said jumping out of the bed.
"Thanks." I said.
"I just thought it'd be funny to act like we did something freaky." She said laughing. This is a fucked up world. Is that seriously funny here or just for her?
"Okay well then! I'm going to go." I said leaving the room fast. Slamming the door behind me, I went back downstairs. Most of the unicorns were gone except for Galaph.
"Hey Gane where's Sam?" I asked Galaph.
"Who are they?" He said while he lays on a couch doing nothing.
"Ugh, I mean Black Lightning and the other unicorns." I replied face palming myself. Or is it face hoofing?
"Well Black Lightning gathered the unicorns, Smash, and Speedy to find the "Justifiers". I'm sure you've heard of them. I stayed here along with you and Vinyl. Odd enough though, I haven't seen Colgate all day but she's not the fighting type anyway. If they find the cult and get them to admit what they've done, this could all be over." He said plainly getting up from the couch and stretching.
"Wait. I thought you and Lightning hated Smash?" I replied. He sounds so fond of him. It makes me wonder about them.
"No. That was an act to make sure our cover wasn't blown. Lightning, Speedy, Smash, and I planned this out. But don't worry about it. Go out and fix some problems." He said walking into the kitchen and grabbing another bottle of alcoholic cider. I think he might be an addict like the Gane I know along with the rest of my friends. I then heard a buzzing noise. Noticing I still had my backpack on, I removed it and saw my phone moving. I was surprised it was still here as I pulled it out with my magic. It was troublesome at first but I managed to keep hold of it. My phone was nothing special. Just an easy flip phone. It was vibrating violently as I saw and heard. I pulled it in and flipped the phone. I was getting a call from Sam. How is there even reception here? I still think I'm somewhat high but that thought is slowly losing it's truthfulness. I pulled the phone in close and pushed the answer button.
"Hello." I said into the speaker.
"Dude! Where are you?" He asked angrily.
"...nowhere." I said slowly.
"Whatever! But a gun was spotted at the statue along with blood. They tested it and it's yours! But no bullet was found! What happened?" He asked sounding even angrier.
"I did it. I committed suicide but lived. Listen I may be back eventually but don't tell anyone. Just say that the phone went to voice mail and that I'm probably dead. Listen, your the first friend I ever made, don't let me down." I said calmly.
"I do-you know what? I guess I'll do it. But come back soon! Please?" He asked silently.
"I'll try to." I said closing the phone and ending the call. Then my phone had shutoff by itself as it's battery croaked. I sighed and put it into my bag as I left the house. I headed off into Octavia's direction. However there was a feeling of being watched I just couldn't shake off. I constantly turned around to see if I was being watched. Only one pony did. Pinkie Pie. She stared at me constantly. Never blinking and never taking her sights off. Something didn't feel right about her. Maybe it's the hair. Instead of being all puffed it was long and straight and to her side instead of in the air. I had never seen Pinkie with hair like this before. Maybe it's just a difference between worlds. I managed to make it to Octavia's house without freaking out about Pinkie. I knocked onto the door with my hoof slightly. I waited for a minute until she had opened the door with a small smile, half open eyes, and messed up hair.
"Hello there again, Nathan." She said not as elegantly as usual as I entered.
"Something wrong?" I asked.
"Oh I haven't really fixed myself up yet, be a dear and just give me a minute." She said going upstairs onto the next floor. I stood and looked around. Lots of pictures of her and Vinyl were strung about the walls along with a peculiar one of those two kissing. I knew it! I knew they were dating! It always seemed so odd how those two looked at each other in school and hung out way afterwards. I see where their problems come in now. I just have to think about how to resolve this. However I didn't have time as Octavia came down the stairs with her appearance looking normal.
"Here can you help me?" She asked sweetly.
"Sure what is it?" I asked politely. She's acting weird. I think she may like me.
"I need to tune my double bass. Could you hold it and play it so I could adjust it accordingly?" She asked.
"Sure where is it?" I asked. She beckoned me with her hoof as she led me to a new room. It was filled with all sorts of sheet music and string instruments. She led me to the double bass. I picked it up and stood it upright as it should. I've had good experience with this. She handed me the bow and told me to play. I crossed the bow along the first string to the right. She then nodded and went to the knobs on the end and turned it. She then told me to do it again. I did so and the process repeated. Then finally we got the string tuned. This went on for all the strings until we were done. We carefully sat it on the ground.
"It's a nice double bass." I said.
"Yes it is. Thank you Nathan." She replied.
"Oh it's no trouble at all." I said.
"Well I certainly couldn't have done it without your help." She replied.
"Well your welcome then." I said happily. She came close to me. Then before I could say anything, she closed in on me and kissed me real quick on the cheeks. Moving back she smiled and blushed then turned away and went back upstairs. "Well I think I'll go then." I said heading to the door. I didn't hear a reply. I shrugged and left her house. Well that was all sudden. I'm not sure if I agree with this. I can't be letting this interrupt my thoughts.
"Hey Nathan!" Said a feminine voice from behind. It was Twilight.
"Oh, hi Twilight." I said turning to face her.
"Listen there's a problem with Spike. Could you help?" She asked.
"I guess. Where is he?" I asked.
"In my house upstairs. I have to do errands. Bye." She said walking off. This could give me something to do while I'm thinking about how to fix Vinyl and Octavia. I headed toward the tree she lives in. I wonder what his problem is. I reached the tree and opened the red door. I walked in and shut the door behind. It seemed to have an echo as if nothings here. I walked up the stairs near the bookcases and found myself standing in their part of the tree. Up another set of stairs was a basket where I saw his tail hanging out of. I walked up the stairs and loomed over him. He was awake and beckoned me to go.
"What's wrong midget?" I asked.
"Look out the window at the fancy white building." He said rolling onto his stomach in the basket. I walked to the close window and spotted the building he told me about. In front stood Rarity and a bit taller one that was white with blue eyes and blonde mane while wearing a fancy vest. I recognize him, it's Blueblood. Ugh he's such a spoiled brat just because his family has lots of money.
"So what? All I see is a big bitch and Rarity. What's your point?" I asked.
"Don't you see. They're dating! You may not have known but I have a crush on her. I-I love her! I have no hope with her!" He said looking more pitiful than ever standing up and crying. I sighed and face hoofed myself.
"Suck it up and be tough you pussy! I bet if you give her something real nice and from the heart and tell her how you always felt, she'll dump Blueblood and fall in love with you!" I yelled.
"Y-you really think so?" He asked sniffling and wiping his eyes.
"I do. Now get the fuck up you purple midget and go get her a nice gift and tell her how you feel!" I yelled. He started looking more confident and ran off out of the house. I think it was a pretty decent pep talk. I left the house and headed towards mine. Once again as I was outside, Pinkie was watching me. No blinking at all as I passed by. Okay this is really creeping me the fuck out. I started running home, I just couldn't take it anymore. I finally reached the entrance of my house but before I went inside, I saw the group of ponies Galaph told me about. Smash, Lightning, and Speedy were back along with several unicorns. They all looked exhausted.
"What happened?" I asked.
"We found Jerry near the range to the east of the mountain and tried to get him but he was just too fast. There was so much we could have learned but of course he runs like a chicken." Smash said angrily. All of the unicorns went inside my house as Smash and Speedy walked away. It was getting late. I decided to go to sleep. I have to fix Vinyl and Octavia. And I hope the midget can get with Rarity. Tomorrow is the last day, let's hope this watch works.
Okay not as long as I'd hope for but it was long past it's due. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Don't forget to follow and favorite and all that good stuff. Until next time.
