Another World
Chapter 2: Temporary House
Previous Chapter Next ChapterOk so I decided to continue the story. Hopefully there aren’t as many mistakes here as in chapter one. Now, the story.
Pinkie couldn’t stay quiet any longer. “Wow, I love that name. I wish I could name myself. If I could I’d take the name Cotton Candy, because it’s so tasty or maybe Gumdrop, because it’s candy and I love candy but I like Pinkie Pie as well.” She then jumped up in the air and gasped while hovering in the air.
‘How does she do that’ “I need to get your welcome party ready” and with that she sped out the door into the rain.
“Ok, I give up, what was that about” I said starting to get off the couch.
“Oh just Pinkie being Pinkie”
“Oh, are you sure you’re ok to stand up.. I mean you did hit your head kind of hard when you fell” Fluttershy asked me with a concerned look on her face.
“Yea I’m fine, my memory will come back eventually, I hope, but until then I guess I should find a place to live.” I said back to her after finding my balance again.
“Well I guess you could stay at the library where I live. There’s an extra room that no one ever uses.” Twilight suggested.
“Well I guess I could, but I should look for a home for myself”
“Then it’s settled. You’ll stay with me until you can get your own house.”
“Thanks Twilight, but we can’t really go right now,” I said while looking out the window at the rain. It wasn’t that heavy but we’d still get pretty wet in it.
“I could teleport us there, if you want.”
“Well, have you ever teleported two ponies at once” I asked her feeling a little doubtful.
“Well yes, once with my assistant Spike, but he got a little burned.”
“Yeah, I think I’ll run there. Safer you know” I said with a smile, hoping she wouldn’t take it as an insult.
“Fine I guess. Just follow me and try to keep up.”
“Ok let’s go. Thanks Fluttershy for helping me. See you again soon” I said turning around to her.
“Oh... Am… Your welcome and stay safe.” She said back to me still hiding behind her mane.
Twilight opened the door and got ready to run, while I got behind her and got ready as well. “Ok on the count of three. One… two… THREE.”
And with that we both ran as fast as we could out the door and towards the nearby town which I learned was named Ponyville. I sped up next to Twilight. “Is the big tree in the middle the library” I asked her.
“Yes, that’s it, why.” She replied with a small puff.
“Race ya.” And with that I shot ahead of her towards the bridge leading into town.
I don’t know why but it felt strange to me running this fast on four hooves. But I loved it. The wind going against you, the rain against your face, the thrill of going faster and faster. I felt my wings open up by themselves and start to flap without me thinking about it. It felt so natural. I felt my hooves leave the ground and I started to gain altitude.
Once I was a few feet up in the air I seemed to level out. I started going faster and faster and I could see the library approaching fast. Too fast. It was then I realised I had no idea how to land and started to panic.
‘Better the ground than the tree I suppose’ I thought to myself.
I tilted my body downwards slightly. When I was close enough to the ground I stretched my legs out to touch the ground. Bad idea. As soon as my hooves touched the ground I tripped and face planted into the ground. I flipped over onto my back and kept going until I came to a slow halt just at the door to the library. I stayed like then until twilight came running up behind me laughing.
“That was… that was so funny.” She said while looking down at me and laughing. I just sat there with an unimpressed look on my face. I picked myself up off the ground and opened the door to the library.
“Yeah, laugh it up but I’ll make up for it someday.” I said back to her while walking in the door into the main part if the library. I’ll put it simply; there were books, and lots of them. But it’s a library so what do you expect.
“Yeah sure, but you are alright aren’t you. You did land pretty hard.” She said back to me while walking in behind me.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I did pretty well considering it was my first time flying.” I said while looking around the room.
“Well I suppose you did do well for your first time. I’ll show you to your room now.”
“Lead the way.” I said back to her while gesturing to the stairs with my hoof. And with that she led me upstairs.
As we passed the first door she said to me. “That’s my room where Spike sleeps. He hasn’t come down yet so he is probably still asleep.” We then walked up to another door. “And this is your room.”
I opened the door and walked into it. The room was a little plain. There was a bed with white sheets and two pillows in the corner and a bedside table next to it and a lamp on it. There was a wardrobe at the other side of the room but I wondered what it was used for seeing as ponies didn’t wear clothes. There was a book shelf across from the bed with a few books on it. Not as much as downstairs but enough to keep me occupied if I got bored.
“Well while you look around I’m going to take a shower or do you want to take one first”
I looked at her and said “You can go first, I’ll wait here.”
“Ok, if you feel hungry the kitchen is downstairs.” And with that she left to take her shower.
I went over to the bookshelf and looked at what books she had. ‘Hmm let’s see, “Guide to magic” nope, I'm not a unicorn, “Friendship and you”…ok… “Slumber 101, All you wanted to know about slumber parties but were afraid to ask” ..a book… on slumber parties.. Right, next book, let’s see “Mare in the moon”, this looks good’ I picked up the book with my mouth and walked over to the bed and started reading it. After a while I feel asleep halfway through the book.
Ok that’s chapter two. Hopefully I fixed some of the errors I made in chapter one. Also I have school starting again so I won’t be able to update as fast. Comment on any fixes I can make.
