Another Chance at Life
Chapter 22: 22. Normal Day At Work?
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA/N: this has another binary code letter in it. It is completely random and you should not attempt to decode it. It would not mean anything if you did. Also, sorry if it runs off the page, my bad! I will most likely do this joke a few more times before it goes into the vault of jokes for this story. Enjoy the chapter everyone!
I woke up at the crack of dawn, not because I wanted to, but because I had to. I have to go to work; I just now realize that I have a job…..ARGH! MMMMWORK…..I feel old again….doh my back! I got up off my bed and stretched before I got in the shower. I took my laptop with me so I would have music while I took it, don’t judge me! I need to hear something when I take showers!
I turned it on and jumped in. It felt amazing! It’s moments like this that make me feel like all of the endless detours and such are worth it. Who am I kidding! I love it here even if I get the shit scared out of me, turned into Discords minion, have a *gulp* job (EWWW), and dealing with Twilight the egghead constantly wanting to know more about me, and among other things. I stood there and let the hot water run over me for a while. I still had about an hour before I had to be at the farm, so I was in pretty good shape.
After I had finished I got out and dried myself off and put on one of the sets of clothes that Rarity made for me. Just as I was about to walk out the door a letter materialized out of thin air in a plume of green fire. It landed on the ground in front of me and I picked it up, from the green fire I already knew it was from Twilight, figures she’d be up at the crack of dawn. I hope it isn’t in binary code; I don’t want what she said to me to end up being true.
I opened the letter and then I face palmed, it was in binary code again. ARGH, why do you have to make me so mad Twilight? I get it, you’re smarter than the average nuclear physicist, but now you are just rubbing it in. Eeeyup, going to get her back one way or another, maybe I’ll get RD and Pinkie to pull a prank on her. Oh well, I guess I better decipher this one too now. Ugh!

(I wanted to make it a little more challenging for you this time, you may not understand what it says when you decode it, that is because you have to do one other thing as well. I hope I am not making you too frustrated with this. Oh well, have fun!)
Sincerely, Twilight Sparke
My eye started to twitch again. If you could see me, there would probably be fire coming out of my ears from the overload of confusion. I am frustrated Twi, no, I am beyond that! You are making me learn again! I began to look over the note and tried to decode it.
After about ten minutes of me getting so frustrated that I could just explode I decoded it. Then I realized what else she did to the letter. Oooohhhh, she even made the letter backwards! I am so mad right now I could literally burst into flames right now, she has become a troll….wait……OH SWEET JESUS WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!! I turned the smartest pony in all of Ponyville into a troll. I tainted the once pure life with nonsense and shenanigans.
I got under control and began to read the letter. It read:
Dear Kyle,
I hope you are finding some enjoyment of these letters, because I sure am. I wanted to tell you that if I can keep learning spells that can let me and the others know and learn more about you, I can let you in on a few spells that I think you will enjoy. It is kind of a thank you present for helping us. I am sure the others want to take as much part in the spells that I learn as much as I do, so I will be asking if they would like to partake in the spell as well. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go back and read up more on the spells that I have to learn. I will send you a letter when I want to see you for another visit.
Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle
I sat there and pondered the letter for a few minutes in silence. When I was sure my brain was still working in the correct order I stood up and began collecting my things that I wanted to take with me. So now I am a source of entertainment for her, and now the others! Well, I guess that is fine, because I get to have spells that amuse me as a gift in return; I wonder what they will be. I guess I have to wait to find out….I HATE WAITING!
I was about three hours into my shift when I realized something. I feel like my father now! Geez, I want to work now, if I can work enough to get me my own place here I’ll be set! I will be a full on resident and not some freeloader who lives in an apartment that isn’t even mine!
I continued to kick the apples out of the trees until the sun was high in the sky. I took off my shirt because it had gotten so sweaty and it was lying on the ground a few feet away from me. Ok, this has to be the best job I could ever have wanted. Even if it is physically demanding on so many levels.
*RUSTLE…RUSTLE….OW!….RUSTLE…..CRASH!!!*
“Shit, what the hell was….oh my god!” I yelled as turned around. On the ground about ten feet away from me was Rainbow Dash, a bloody, bruised, and broken Rainbow Dash. Shitshitshitshit…why does all of the bad things always happen to me! What do I do? Should I leave her and get AJ? Fuck it! I ran over to her and she was breathing, but unconscious.
I grabbed my shirt and brought it over to her, I carefully wrapped her up in it and picked her up. I swear you are more trouble than your worth RD, but we will get this taken care of. I went as fast as I could to the farmhouse with Rainbow as I could without giving her discomfort. When I got there Applejack was sitting on the front steps.
“Applejack, we have a problem. Rainbow Dash crashed into the orchard, luckily I was close by and got to her, she is pretty beat up” I said to her. I was shaking from the adrenaline that the situation I was forced into. Fuckfuckfuck….ARGH…..why can’t this be like a videogame, REVIVE ME! FUCK!
“Oh my, we need ta get her to ah doctor. Take her to the hospital; it’s ah few miles down the road. Now get goin!” Applejack said to me.
Gotta run fast! I have no clue where this hospital is AJ! You better not be lying to me, or else were going to have a major problem on hour hands….well er my hands your hooves. I went as fast as I could to the hospital; Applejack was right there really was one! I ran in the front door and up to a nurse behind the counter.
“Excuse me I don’t mean to be rude here, but I have a bruised and bloody Rainbow Dash and she needs to see medical attention right now” I said, trying to make myself seem calmer than I actually was. It wasn’t working very well.
“Well sir, you will have to go wait for a few minutes until we can get ahold of a doctor” the nurse said to me.
“But she needs the doctor NOOOOOWWWWW! She is badly injured; go get her a doctor before I find one myself!” I said, all remaining shreds of patience…which were like 3, were gone now. You have to the count of ok, and if you don’t say that right now, I will be parkouring over this counter lady!
“Ok ok, just hold on a moment. Let me see her” the nurse said to me, she could tell I was serious now.
I carefully opened my shirt and showed her Rainbow Dash. “Now go get her into a room!” I said to her impatiently. I am so close to saying that you need to get your flank into gear, please don’t make it get that far. I don’t want it on my conscience.
“Oh my” was all the nurse said before she trotted off. She returned a minute later with a bed. I set her on it and she came to for a moment. Oh boy, incoming insult for being so mushy.
“Guess I still need to practice some more huh? By the way, sorry for your shirt, my bad” Rainbow said before they took her away on the bed. I sat down in the waiting room and after a few hours of sitting and pondering, the nurse came back.
“Sir, you are free to go see your friend now. She was pretty bad, a few broken ribs, and a lot of bruising, but she will be fine” the nurse said.
I walked to the room she pointed me to and went in. She was sitting there with a disgruntled look on her face. Don’t start with me on this one RD; you were hurt bad, I CAN’T TAKE THE GUILT! I pulled a chair over and sat down. “Do you need to see me that badly that you have to hurt yourself?” I asked jokingly, waiting for a smart ass remark to come back and hit me in the face. Incoming insult in 3…2…1. *insult system engaged*
“Ha ha, very funny. I want to see you try to do what I do, but so far all I see is you being a softie” Rainbow Dash replied, just as jokingly as me.
“Well, you have to be here for at least a week; it’s the doctor’s orders” I said to her.
“Great, another week of being cooped up in here with nothing to do. I hate getting hurt” she replied.
“Well…” I said before I got up and walked over to the empty bed across from hers. I don’t know why I am doing this but I feel it will make her happier being here if I do. I grabbed a gown off of the wall, which by the way was way too small to fit me and put it on over my clothes.
“What the hay are you doing?” Rainbow Dash asked me, her head tilted a little.
“Shhhh, I’m playing hospital patient” I said smiling. This can get me in sooooo much trouble, but I don’t care.
She laughed at me and I got into the hospital bed. I lay down and smiled over at her. “So missy, what got you in here? I am in here because I had Life Alert and I fell and couldn’t get up” I said in an old man’s voice. I need to go into comedy; I have an unending source of jokes.
She laughed at me some more, which made me feel better. We laid there for a while and talked until Applejack came in with the others.
****
Applejack saw Rainbow Dash smiling in her bed, which made her feel better, but what was she smiling at? She didn’t see Kyle in the room when she came in, so what was making her smile?
I was hiding under my blanket so that they couldn’t see me. I will die from this but it will be worth it. “HI EVERYONE!” I yelled as I threw the blanket off of me in a swift motion.
Everypony in the room jumped in unison. Rainbow Dash was the only one who didn’t get scared; she was too busy laughing her flank off. “Hahahaha!”
Twilight walked over to me and hit me in the shoulder. “Kyle, why would you do that? You scared us all half to death!”
“Sorry, but you deserve it for writing letters to me in binary code. I had to admit myself to the hospital for the overload of learning more than I should” I said back, trying to make a good troll face. U MAD?
“Ok fine, you win. You may have one this battle, but you haven’t won the war” Twilight said back to me smiling. Nyah, what did I just get my ass into?
We all sat there, well Twilight and the others sat there, me and Rainbow Dash lay on our beds and talked for a while. After about two and a half hours of this Everypony started to leave, but Applejack stopped when she walked past my bed. She walked up to me and whispered into my ear “Come back ta work when ya want. She probably will be happier with ya hangin out with her while she is here” then she left, smiling at me the entire time.
Not sure if I should be thankful or scared. She gave me the all clear to stay here for as long as I wanted to and she would let me come back when I am done. I love the jobs here! Work and play go hand in hand! I lay there and Rainbow Dash yawned.
“Get some sleep, you had a VERY eventful day. Don’t worry, I’ll be keeping you company while you’re here, AJ gave me the ok to do so” I said to her.
“That’s cool” she said to me. Then her voice got quieter and she started to blush a little. “Can you come over here?”
I got up off my bed and walked over to hers. Without even saying a word I got up onto her bed and lay next to her. “Feel better now?” I said to her.
“Yeah, thanks for helping me. I don’t know what I would have done if you weren’t around” Rainbow Dash said to me.
“Don’t worry about that anymore. Now just rest, we can talk some more in the morning” I said to her. She listened and nuzzled her head closer to me. HNNNNNGG, I CAN’T HANDLE THE D’AWW! I rubbed her mane and she let out a contented sigh.
“Thanks for hanging out with me” She said to me quietly. *heart explodes from happiness*
We fell asleep after a while; she was practically using me as a comfort blanket. I didn’t mind it, she needed it. We slept through the night in a peaceful sleep.
A/N: Here you go, another chapter! Sorry for the little white lie about it being really funny, it still is funny, but I wanted to do this idea. Next chapter will be out in a few days, I have to work on a few other things. Send me comments on what you thought of it!
