Another Chance at Life
Chapter 15: 15. Recovery
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI must have fallen asleep because when I woke up I was in my apartment. “Huh, I didn’t think I was going to come back here so soon. I thought I was going to go have to get checked out at the hospital from the blow I took from RD.” Which by the way hurt like holy hell!
The only thing I could manage to move was my head. “Great, still paralyzed” I said to myself in a sad tone. I want to move!
I never really noticed until now, but there was something warm next to me moving very slightly. I turned my head and saw Rainbow Dash lying on the bed right by my side with her head resting on my chest. Confound these ponies! They drive me to HHHHNNNNGGGG!
I took my eyes off her a few moments later and looked around the room and saw all the mane 6 except Pinkie asleep in various places around the room; Dash being the closest. Fluttershy was asleep at the foot of the bed, D’AWWWWWW! Rarity was asleep on a small couch at the other side of the room, while AJ was sleeping on a chair, her hat covering her face. Twilight was the funniest out of the group though; she was asleep at the table in a chair, her head right in a book as she slept. I can’t take all of the cute! My god, there is so much of it I can feel it smothering the air I breath!
I looked back at Rainbow Dash and then she did something that made my heart explode. She reached out in her sleep and grabbed my arm and pulled it close to her. *Beep…Beep…Beep…Beeeeeeeeeee* HNNNNGGG! I smiled at her, I had always thought of her as my favorite. Back home out of my group I thought I was the most like her. I had always thought of her as the best.
I closed my eyes still smiling. I don’t care about the story anymore. I just never want this moment to end. Deep down I was feeling something that I had never felt before. I know you’re probably thinking ‘indigestion,’ am I right? Well you’re wrong! I was feeling like she was a huge part of my life! I felt truly happy when I was around her, but at a bigger level. I love all of the others just as much, but Dash was different, she made me feel warm, and I loved every moment of it.
I fell asleep and woke up hours later. When I awoke everypony else was still asleep…all of them except Rainbow Dash. She was still resting her head on my chest, but she was looking up at me. “Morning sleepyhead, are you still mad at me?” she said to me in a playful tone.
“Oh, not really. EXCEPT for the part that I most likely missed everything that was Discord related. You have to tell me a few stories now, it’s the least you can do for making me a vegetable for the past 8 hours” I said as I smiled at her devilishly. I am going to have to make you pay for that Dash, I am not really sorry for doing it either. MWAHAHAHAHA!!
“Aww, why do I have to do it? Can’t Twi be the one to tell you?” She said to me, getting annoyed at the task that I had just gave her. You wouldn’t have had this hanging over you if you didn’t turn me into a TALKING VEGETABLE!
“Eeeyup. I want you to do it. Let the others sleep, you can tell me the stories; and don’t worry I’ll be asking you questions if I think I need to. You need to remember that I don’t recall half of the events that played out” I said as I put on my best trollface I had ever done before. U MAD DASHIE? I would be mad.
“Ugh, fine. I guess I deserve it. What do you want to know first?” Rainbow Dash asked me with a ‘let’s get this over so I can punch you’ look.
“I guess you should start with after I went into the forest to investigate the glistening thing” I told her. I feel like such an ass right now, but I don’t care. She decommissioned me, so I have to get her back for it. Tee hee.
Rainbow Dash began to pour out what had happened after I went deeper into the forest. She told of how Discord managed to take me under his control and I began to create chaos alongside him. I let my mouth drop at hearing that, but kept silent. She told me of how they began searching for me to get me to make Discord come out of hiding to put him back where he belonged. She told me of how she had to paralyze me so I would not cause them any trouble when they sent him back to his prion in the statue on Canterlot Castle grounds. I was silent for a few more minutes before I finally found my voice.
“Wait? So you’re telling me that I was taken control of by Discord? And that you already sent him back!?” I rolled my eyes and thought in my mind of me throwing my arms up in the air in disappointment. “That is so bogus! I missed everything! I never get a break do I?”
“Yep, all of that happened. I am sorry you had to miss it” RD said rubbing the back of her head with her hooves.
AAARRRGGHHH!!! Every time something interesting happens around here I end up either getting hurt or something that makes it so I can’t see what happens. “Thanks Dashie, you’re off the hook now. I got all of the info I needed” I said as I gave her another playful look.
We must have been talking pretty loud because the others began to stir. After a few minutes they were all standing around the bed throwing hundreds of questions at my face. ‘How do you feel?’ ‘Do you remember anything yet?’ ‘Can you move yet?’ STOP WITH ALL OF THE QUESTIONS! I CAN'T TAKE IT!
“Girls. I’m fine. No I still can’t move, and I am feeling like a vegetable. I couldn’t remember anything still, but RD here told me the whole story while you were all asleep. Thanks for sticking your necks out on me with this one. I am truly grateful, who knows what would have happened otherwise” I said answering the questions they had just threw at me in 10 seconds flat. I want RD to give an answer to that many questions that fast.
“That’s…umm…nice to hear Kyle. I am glad you are feeling better” Fluttershy chimed in in her shy voice.
“Rainbow told you everything already? That is a lot of info to take in, are you sure you are ok with what you heard?” Twilight said looking at me with concern written all over her face.
I started to laugh, not just because of what she had said to me, but also because I was starting to get back feeling in my bones. “I am fine. This kind of thing has had no effect on my personality whatsoever. I am just glad I didn’t hurt anypony or you for that matter, I care about you all too much for that.”
I started to move my arms then; I lifted one of them up and rested it on Dash’s head. I rubbed it back and forth gently before I finally got the best idea ever. I gave her a noogie; this is the last step of your punishment, I hope you like it��. “Here is your reward for turning me into a Vegetable Dashie!” I said as I gave her the noogie.
All of the other ponies laughed as I continued my onslaught of repayment to RD for what she did to me. “Hey, cut it out! This is so not cool!” She said in between laughs herself. I can already feel this as going too far, she is going to do something to get me back for it, and I just know it. I hate my preemptive senses of payback.
I stopped with the assault and lay back down in my bed. “Hey girls, can I ask you all something?” I said as my face became serious for the first time since I was confronted by Celestia. That still gives me nightmares you know.
“Sure, what do you want to ask?” Twilight said a little apprehensively to me.
“I have been here for a little over a week now as you all know. I wanted to know if there was any place I could find a job, seeing as I am going to be staying here and all. I want to start helping out and I feel like this is a good place to start” I said to all of them.
All of their faces changed from worry to relief instantly. I could tell they all had different ideas of what I was going to ask.
“Ah was actually gonna ask ya that m’self. Ya look ta be able ta help around tha farm I’ffn you’re interested” AJ said to me smiling.
“You mean that? Are you sure? Do I look like I could help?” I asked, my mind running in overdrive at what I had just heard. AWWWWW HELLL YYYYEEEAAHHH! I just may have found my first job. Yep, gonna do it, going to hug her.
“Sure sugarcube, ah felt the muscles ya had when I had ta lasso ya. Ya were quite hard to get on tha ground. You would be ah great help to tha farm” AJ said to me finally.
I couldn’t hold it in anymore, I jumped off of my bed and grabbed everypony and pulled them in for a bear hug. “Thank you all for being so nice to me!” I said as I held them.
After a few minutes of hugging, we broke contact and I looked around at all of them.
“Well we are all going to go out and let you freshen up, you reek” Twilight said to me playfully and giving me a small wink. Kinky??? I said good bye to them and sat on my bed. I never noticed this before, but there was a door on the other side of the room that I never opened. I had just figured that it was a closet or something, and I didn’t need one seeing as I didn’t have anything that needed to be stored in one.
I walked over to the closet and looked at the doorknob. I had one of those ‘I feel like if I open this I will go to Narnia’ moments. I reached out and turned the handle and opened it. Inside was a small bathroom with a sink, shower, and toilet, looking like they did back on Earth. I NEVER KNEW THEY HAD BATHROOMS HERE! FINALLY I CAN TAKE A SHOWER! I walked in and found 3 bags lying on the ground next to the sink.
There was a note on the top of one of the bags and I took it off and read it:
Dear Kyle,
I have taken the liberty of making you some new clothes. I used a basic measurement spell on you when I first met you so I could have them be at the right lengths. Please accept my apologies for invading your privacy, but I just couldn’t let you be seen wearing the same attire time and time again.
You’re Friend,
Rarity
“Sweet! I have some new clothes!” I said aloud happily as I looked through the three bags. They were just basic shirts and pants like the ones from where I came from only they felt stronger, like they were used with a completely different material.
There were 3 pairs of shirts, 2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of socks, and here is the part that scared me, even 3 pairs of undershorts. I know that I shouldn’t be weirded out right now, but SHE EVEN MADE UNDERWEAR! THAT IS A LITTLE TOO CREEPY IN MY EYES!
I got over myself and got the days attire picked out and hopped in the shower. I instantly felt loads better, like all the stress of the past week was flowing out of my body. I stayed in the shower until the hot water ran out, mostly because I had forgot how good a warm shower feels. I LOVE THIS FEELING! ME GUSTA!
I got out, dried myself off with a towel, and put on my clothes for the day. Today was going to be a good day for sure.
A/N: I will be starting to make authors notes from here on out when I feel like I need to explain things or something else. I am going to give you a rundown of all of the things that will most likely happen in this story now. There will be a shipping (you guess on who), I may or may not get changed into a pony, i will get into a little closer relations with each character (best friend status FTW), and I will keep going from there. I may amp up the swearing a little in the future, who knows. This is supposed to be a different story , but have the feel of a normal life in Equestria, like here at Earth: daily hardships, love, feudes, etc. well that’s all for now. Next chapter will be up soon!
