Human of a Pony

Part 5

Decided to continue. Enjoy.

Thunder, And the girls were sitting in Thunder's new living room. Rarity had a few bags of the Blue rubies with her. She walked into the room, And saw them all sitting down. She asked, "Uhh...Did I miss something?"

Twilight said, "No. Thunder was telling us a story about his life. Sit down." Rarity said, "Well, Alright." She sat down next to the girls.

Thunder asked Rarity, "Had fun in that cave?" He chuckled. She replied, "It is amazing down there. Simply amazing. Would you please continue the story you were telling?"

Thunder replied, "As you wish. It's a sad story about my life. I will continue where I left off."

"The date was September 11, 2001. My parents and I had reached Manhattan, And decided to have a tour around the city. During the Tour, We decided to visit the location that made New York City the most memorable city on Earth...The World Trade Center. We visted every part of both Towers, We visited the Stores, Restaurants, Etc. It was great. We then visited one of the towers: The South Tower. By the Time we reached the 90th floor of the South Tower, The time was 8:43 a.m."

He closed his eyes, And could see himself once again as a 8 year old Human. He could see himself looking out the window of the 90th floor.

He could see his parents next to him, Taking pictures of the city from up high. Then...That's when he saw it...One of the vehicles that caused the death of his parents...Flight 11.

He opened his eyes, And continued the story.

"My parents were taking pictures of the city. Then...I saw a plane. You guys know what planes are, Right?" The girls nodded, "No."

He explained quickly, "They are like Cars, But they can fly, And they are larger."

He was quiet for a few seconds, And continued.

"The plane I was talking about...At first, I thought it was just a regular plane, Just flying from an airport to another destination. Then, I saw it get closer and closer to me. I then knew what was happening...The plane was heading towards the Towers."

The girls gasped, And Fluttershy said, "Oh, No..." Thunder said, "I said to my Mother and father..."

He closed his eyes again. He could see himself yelling to his mother and father that a plane was heading towards the towers, But he didn't know which one. Their question was then answered. The plane had not crashed into the South Tower. It crashed into the North Tower.

He opened his eyes again. He said, "The plane then hit the North Tower. The explosion was devastating. It frightened me and it still does 18,000 years after it."

Fluttershy asked, "What happened next?" Thunder was still in deep thought. He slowly responded, "We started heading down the stairwell."

In Thunder's mind, He could see him and his parents walking down the stairwell of the South Tower. He was on the 90th floor when the 1st plane hit. 17 minutes later, They reached the 75th floor. They were walking down, Thinking their building was going to be off limits.

Thunder and his parents reached the 75th floor just 17 minutes after the 1st impact. By the time they reached the 74th floor just half a minute later, They were rocked off of their feet. A second plane had hit just above their location. The explosion sent fire, Debris, And other dangerous objects around them. Debris had sheilded Thunder from the fire, But not his parents.

The fire instantly burned his parents alive. Thunder could hear their screams. He banged on the debris, Which technically built a "Bubble" around him, And screamed, "MOM! DAD!" The remaining explosion from the plane shook Thunder, Dropping him on his head, And knocked him unconsious.

Thunder said to the girls, "...Another plane hit just above where me and my parents were. I was sheilded by debris. It created a "Bubble" around me. My parents were scorched by the intense heat. No heat or fire could get through. The plane explosion kept shaking the building. I fell down, Hit my head, And was knocked out."

He could hear his parent's screams in his head.

He could now see himself regaining consiousness after a minute. He could manage to push off the debris that sheilded him. He looked for his mother and father. He found them, Badly and fatally burned. He heard himself say to them, "Mom...? Dad...?"

He could see his father's eyes slowly open. He heard his father say to him, "S-S-Son...Run...Get out of the building, Son...S-Save...Your...Self..." His father's eyes close, And saw his body go limp.

Thunder could see himself ready to cry, But he knew that there was no time for crying. He needed to get out of there. So, He hugged his parents who were already deceased, And ran as quickly as he could to the stairwell.

He saw himself reaching the 40th floor by 9:30 a.m. He knew he would not let his parents down.

He said to the girls after a few moments without speaking, "...I ran down the stairwell. By 9:30 a.m. I had reached the 40th floor. At 9:50 a.m. 20 minutes later...I reached floor 19."

The time was now 9:57 a.m. Thunder, In his mind, Had reached the lobby. He said in relief, "The lobby." He walked to the exit, And a fire-fighter asked him, "Hey, Kid! Where's your parents?"

He responded, "They...They died." The fire-fighter replied, "You're...All alone?" Thunder nodded. The man replied, "Alright, C'mon kid. Let's get you out of here. Follow me."

Thunder had followed the man, And got a safe distance from the building. The time was 9:59 a.m. And Thunder saw the saddest sight. The South Tower began to collapse. Thunder couldn't hold back his tears anymore. He fell to his knees, And began to cry.

He soon saw the Second tower come down, 29 minutes later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He then saw himself back in his home, The girls still hearing his story. His face was blank. Tears started coming from his eyes... He said, "...Mom...Dad...Why?" Thunder then started bursting into tears, Covering his face with his hooves.

Fluttershy and Twilight walked over to comfort him. Fluttershy started hugging him. About a minute later, He said to them, "I'm sorry...It was just terrible..." Another minute later, He continued the story.

"Days after the attack, I returned to Florida, And I saw my girlfriend again. I gave her the biggest hug and kiss she ever had. It's sad how something so tragic could happen to a 8 year old kid. When I was 8, At the time..."

Later, About 15 minutes later, Thunder then talked about His girlfriend and him breaking up.

"It was a few days ago. She said I wasn't there for her much, And I try to. I just lose track of time. She broke up with me, Then I tell myself there are other girls in Manhattan. I went home, Had something to eat, Went to bed, Then I woke up in the middle of the night, And I saw this glowing light. I went into my Living room, And saw a portal. I looked through it, And saw Ponyville. I was sucked into the portal, And lost consiousness along the way. Now, Here I am."

Rainbow, had said, "Uhh...Thunder...What was it like inside the portal?" Thunder had responded, "Well...It was showing my house and all of Manhattan, Changing over the years. The buildings growing, Falling, Grass taking over, etc. About 1000 years passed when I was inside the portal. That's when I passed out."

Rainbow asked, "Was it...Sickening?" He replied to her, "Yeah. I saw all of these colors, The whole portal was spinning around very fast...That's why I passed out."

All of a sudden, Thunder started to feel dizzy. Fluttershy asked him, "Are...You alright?" Thunder said, Stuttering, "Y-Yeah...I-I'm F-Fine...D-Don't...Worr..." Then, Thunder fell to the floor, Out cold.

Twilight had yelled, "Thunder!" And the girls ran to his side. Fluttershy asked, "Is he okay?" Twilight checked Thunder's pulse. He was okay. She replied, "Yeah. He's okay. He might've been thinking about that dizzying portal, And the dizzyness might've got to him."

They could hear him quietly snoring. Twilight said, "Come on. Let's get him to his bed. We'll check on him later." The time was 4:55 p.m. Twilight, Fluttershy, And Applejack carefully picked him up and brought him to his bed.

They set him on his bed, And covered him with the blanket. They looked at him snoring. His breathing was okay. His pulse was normal. Nothing was wrong.

Twilight said, "We better go. We should go look for Spike. Where has he been?" Rainbow said, "He's probably still at your Library." All of the girls started heading towards the door, Except Fluttershy.

The girls turned around to see Fluttershy standing next to the bed. Twilight asked Fluttershy, "Fluttershy? Are you coming?" Fluttershy said, "Oh. Yeah. Just one more minute." Twilight replied, "Okay." The girls "trotted" out of the room (Because they're ponies).

Fluttershy stood next to the bed, Looking at Thunder. She saw him breathing normally, Snoring quietly.

She then said to him, "Please be okay while we're gone. I don't want to lose you, My friend." She did know that he couldn't hear her.

She then looked back at the door. The girls were already downstairs. She looked down at the floor and could see them, But they couldn't see what she was going to do.

She slowly leaned over to Thunder, Slowly lifted his head, And...placed her soft lips on his. She was kissing him. She held her lips with his in a passionate way for about 10-12 seconds. Then, She removed her lips slowly, And carefully placed his head back on the pillow.

She smiled again at him sleeping. Rainbow Dash downstairs said, "Fluttershy?" Fluttershy quietly yelled loud enough for them to hear, "Coming!" She tried her best not to wake Thunder. Luckily, Thunder didn't hear, and still slept. She walked downstairs to the other girls, And they left his home.

Thunder, Who was still sleeping, Had slowly...Put a smile...On his sleeping face.

Awww, Now wasn't that just cute? :D Wait for next chapter! :D Spike will finally meet Thunder. I bet you were all wondering where Spike was, Huh? Well! He was...At Twilight's Library...Napping. Goodbye.
