Changing Worlds. Changing Lives
Chapter 3: Fitting in
Previous ChapterAs i flew nearer to the acres i decided to try out a few tricks. I new that i would probably fail and maybe do some serious damage but due to the fact that i had been transformed into a pony, i thought i might as well try. I was right when i did one trick leaving me flying into a tree and knocking all of the apples off.
"Rainbow Dash? Is that you? I told you not to- oh sorry friend. I thought you were rainbow for a minute there."
"Its alright."
"So what brings ya'll over to sweet apple acres? Ya wanna buy some apples?"
"No thanks. I just need your help. You see, im new here as im human and i know that your the most honest pony around."
"Well sure partner! Whadya need?"
"How much is this worth? The princess gave it to me"
I handed Applejack the sack as she opened it with her mouth, spilling the contents on a nearby log.
"Boy howdy! Thats nearing 500,000 bits! You could buy yerself 5 mansions with that sorta money!
"Tell you what, i will buy myself a house and you can have 10,000 bits..I think that i should pay for that tree and for giving me the honest truth, which is worth over one million bits. "
"Ya have to be pulling ma leg!"
"No im saying the honest truth. You told me the truth like nopony else ever would. They would lie and say its worth nothing. They would take it off my hands and i wouldnt know any better."
"Well alright. I aint saying no to that offer!"
"Good because im not letting you anyway."
"Whats yer name anyhow?"
"Stormcloud"
I flew away from sweet apple acres hearing Applejack celebrate at gaining 10,000 bits in a very short space of time. I flew around town for a small time, looking for a place to buy a house. And sure enough i found one. It only had very cheap houses or very expensive houses. One house caught my eye. It was made from clouds, had a lake view and was an easy 5 minutes fly away from main ponyville. It was 120,000 bits. I went in and asked for the house and sure enough with in 10 minutes i had a house, and not such a bad one at that.
But as i flew around, hoping to see a bank, i was hit by something that was going at extremely fast speeds. So fast i didnt see it coming. I flew down to catch it, but it was too fast. As it was about to hit the ground it sprung to life and flew up to me, hitting me in the chest. It was rainbow dash.
"Be careful dude! I could have died and you would have just sat there looking.The number one flyer in Equastria, Rainbow Dash, could have died! Bucking hell!"
"Im sorry rai-"
"OH IM SO SORRY RAINBOW DASH! OH BOO HOO HOO! WHY DONT YOU CRY ALL THE WAY HOME! THEN MAYBE YOU CAN GO SHOP FOR SOME BUCKING SENSE!"
And with that she flew off, spinning and twisting, leaving her trademark rainbow trail behind her. As i still thought over what had just happened i flew to my house. I opened the door to see a pristine living room, a kitchen with state of the art equipment and a staircase. I had a tour around my house and found out that there was enough room for me and all of my friends back on Earth. It was nicer than my house on Earth by far!
I flew around for a while, stopped by Twilights library, Fluttershys cottage, Raritys shop for some clothes, Pinkie pie for some food (However i managed to get pulled into a party) and Applejack for apples. I did give her the 10,000 at that time too. Twilight was the most interesting stop. She began questioning me about Earth, politics, Science and sex. I almost got pulled into having sex with her. Luckily spike came in and the conversation quickly changed. Spike mas much older than in the TV show. He walked on 4 legs and had wings. He was just taller than me by about two feet. Twilight asked if i could come over every now and then so she could conduct research. I obliged of course. The stop at fluttershy was to check she was okay and to see if there were any pets i wanted. Unfortunately she didnt have a yellow striped bat. The stop at Rarity's ment i could buy some clothes for Pinkie's partie, even though i new it wouldnt be needed.
Finally i returned home and settled in. As i sat down, i saw a certain pink pony float up in a balloon next my front door. I new what this ment and i was excited. I was excited to have a party. To have a life of love and happiness, not war and hate. This was better than Earth.
When we reached Sugercube corner i saw a huge cake with the words 'Welcome ThunderStorm!' written in icing and a giant picture of my cutie mark made from frosting.
"How long id this take Pinkie?"
"Does it matter? The writer can make the world explode if he wants!"
Pinkie... Remember what i said earlier about the fourth wall?
"Oh yeah!! Oopsie!"
"So anyway pinkie... Is rainbow dash here? I feel really sorry about what happened."
"Why what-" Pinkie was interupted when the cyan pegasus ran up to me and hit me, making me fall into the cake and destroy all of the hard work.
"Serves you right you filthy beast!"
"Dashie! That was sooooo mean!"
"Shut it, Pinkie" Dash said with an unintentional harshness. Pinkie began to cry, but only to herself. Rainbow dash looked around and saw everyone looking at her. She flew off feeling shame, embarressment but also happiness to have punched me.
'Serves him right that bucking idiot' Dash thought.
After that the party was pretty fun. It only took me to say "Pinkie, shall we restart the Party?" for pinkie to jump up and resume her usual bouncy attitude. As the night went on i felt like my life was feeling so amazing and that i never wanted to leave. I laughed when i thought that i wanted to go straight away and never come back. How times change. As the party ended i had managed to befriend almost every pony in ponyville except for Rainbow Dash. As i flew on home i thought i could see a rainbow fly straight past me, at rocketing speeds. I opened my door and went to sleep. In a new bed, in a new town, in a new world. But this world was better than Earth
