Another Chance at Life
Chapter 34: 34. Getting Close
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI was sitting up on a fluffy cloud watching RD perform her tricks. She had gotten used to the idea of me just being Joy, and has even accepted that she could see and talk to Comedy. That made us a little scared, mostly because if we had actually gone to talk to Twilight she probably would have done experiments on me or something. Nyah, creepy thought!
Comedy was sitting next to me, his head tilted in a way to show that he was sleeping. Drool was hanging out of his mouth and he even had a small bubble coming out of his nose. “COMEDY! your falling asleep again!”
“mmhmm…..here take this as a consolation prize, you deserve it with all of the endless waking and disturbing you’re doing” Comedy said before pulling a small cardboard box out of his coat and handing it to him.
I can just see where this is going. “What is it?” I said to him before I opened it. It was empty, AWWWW I don’t get anything, and what does he have an empty box for anyways?
“Oh, that is the fucks I give for getting woken up by you for the like 5th time” Comedy said with a smile.
“Ha ha, very funny” I said in a reply before pushing him. I pushed him a little too hard and he slid off the other end of the cloud. Oops, did I do that? Tee Hee.
Rainbow Dash saw Comedy fall and flew down next to him. “Hey Comedy, how’s life going?” Comedy was still falling while this was still going on.
“Your friend Joy up there pushed me too hard and I fell off the side of the cloud! I would have been fine if it wasn’t for him! Hold on I have the perfect way to get him back” Comedy said with a sly grin as he fell. They were at 700 feet. "Help me Joy! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up there again! Oh who will save me from my horrible demise of hitting the cold hard ground now?”
Joy looked over the edge of the cloud and saw Comedy as he was falling. He was shrugging his shoulders and had a trollface on. “Comical little”
“YOU WERE SAYING!?” Comedy yelled from where he was falling.
“Nothing!” I said while I watched. He got smaller and smaller until I couldn’t see him anymore. “At the speed he is falling at he should hit the ground in about a minute” I said as I continued to watch.
“NEEEERRRRRRDDDD!!!!”
I put on a pokerface then, he heard me even after he was out of sight!
“Go back up there and play along, think that I truly am falling and I am going to hit the ground. This is going to make Joy so confused. Hurry, I am running out of room for falling!” Comedy said to Rainbow Dash as they fell.
Rainbow Dash knew something funny was going to come out of this in one way or another. She nodded and flew up next to Joy. “Joy, Comedy is falling and he isn’t going to be able to fly! What do we do?”
“What? How come, he knows how to fly?” I said with a look of worry that only lasted a moment or two. I looked back over the edge and RD did so next to me.
“Hello field near Ponyville, this is Comedy Nuke and I am here to clean up your act. I sensed hate and I am here to eradicate it, impact in 3…2…1” Comedy’s voice rang up to us.
What happened next was much unexpected. Comedy must have hit the ground, but when he did so, made it look like a very large nuclear explosion went off. It was a confetti and rainbow explosion. I looked over at RD and she was staring at the mushroom cloud, which now had a trollface on it. “RD, how come Comedy exploded into confetti? Why did he do that? WHY IS IT ALSO RAINBOW COLORED?” I said still looking over at her.
“Hatred eliminated, mission accomplished. *millions of clapping sounds heard*
“Apparently he wanted to eradicate all hatred in the field near Ponyville” Rainbow Dash said before rolling on the cloud laughing her flank off from the sheer funny that it was.
“Ugh, he always has to be the center of attention doesn’t he? Well, he must have done a number on himself, because I can’t hear him anymore” I said as I looked at the cyan pegasus rolling on the cloud. D’AWWWW, too cute.
“Looking for me?”
“Comedy! That was a great one, you should have seen the look on his face when the explosion happened…..priceless!” Rainbow Dash said to the floating Comedy.
“Thank you, that is what I do, now am I going to have to do that again or will you let me sleep the next time? You should have seen all of the grass I exterminated. Well, I guess I didn’t because I am just a hallucination thingy, but you get the idea” Comedy said before landing on the cloud again.
Ugh, yep he is going there. He has just destroyed a million families of grass and dirt, where is that cardboard box he gave me? “That was a good one Comedy! I would never have thought you would do that!” I said to him.
Comedy looked to be staring off into nothing. He then fell to the ground of the cloud and started to shake. I went over to him and immediately knew what was happening. RD was next to me “What is happening to him?”
“Just what I have feared. Acrimony has gotten free again and is getting rid of the connections we have with reality. He is trying to take control again. He is getting rid of Comedy now and then he is going to come after me. I only prey that master gets there first, for if he doesn’t and Acrimony gets loose, bad things are going to come for both him and all of you” I said to her, I still had on a soft smile, but inside I was frantic with worry for master.
“What can we do to help?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“I am going to go back to my apartment, go get Twilight and tell her to come over, and tell her to have a binding spell ready just in case Acrimony gets control. We don’t have much time…please go!” I said to her before I flew off towards my house. This was going to be a long night I can tell.
*****
Rainbow Dash flew over to Twilight’s as fast as she could. She stopped out in front and ran up and let herself in. Twilight was over at a table with a large stack of books on each side of her. “Twilight, we have another problem. Kyle is possibly on the verge of getting taken over by one of the worst aspects of his personality, he wants you to come over to the apartment with a binding spell just in case that happens.”
“Hold on, what is wrong with Kyle now?” Twilight said as she closed her book in front of her.
“C’mon get ready I will tell you everything on the way. Let’s go” Rainbow Dash said to her.
Twilight got herself ready, binding spell and all. They were trotting over to his apartment and RD was explaining everything that has happened. Twilight couldn’t believe it and wouldn’t believe it until she saw it for herself. They made it to the front of the apartment building; they walked up the stairs and to his door. They could hear him talking inside. They opened the door and he looked at them, then he smiled.
“Good, thank goodness you’re here. Comedy is gone; he was forced back into my mind. Acrimony is now trying to get ahold of me, but I have been trying to fight him off. I fear it is only a matter of time until I pass out from the strain. When that happens Twilight has to be ready to use the binding spell if someone other than master takes control. But until then, I guess I will explain what has happened to Twilight here”
A/N: It is getting close, the climax is almost here! Can you feel the tension building yet? I know I am a horrible person for not having Kyle come back into play yet, but don’t worry when he does you will know it. I hope you are finding this enjoyable, next chapter will be up in a while!
