Pony Trek
Chapter 12: Trying to Unwind
Previous ChapterDark, still propelling himself towards me, slowed down a bit and soon came to a stop about 5 hoof-steps away from me." How are we all going to fit in there?" Dark asked me. " You'll see." I replied. I turned around and opened the doors to the T.A.R.D.I.S. and motioned Dark into in. Dark gave me a funny look. He peeked his head inside the T.A.R.D.I.S. and gasped. He stumbled back and starting inspecting the Box, Going all the way around it, letting his hoof glide across the wooden surface. He gave me a confused look and opened his mouth, but no sound came out. I shrugged and stepped on inside the T.A.R.D.I.S. and looked around at everything. The main control room was still the same, except the lights were dimmed a bit.
I walked a little further, Up a metal catwalk, and up to the main console. Dark had now walked in behind me and had his breath taken away as he looked around the T.A.R.D.I.S. and "Oooo" And " Ahhh" 'd. Dark walked a bit further and stopped right beside me. " So how exactly is this thing bigger on the inside?" Dark inquired. " Timelord technology." I replied. The Doctor had now walked in the T.A.R.D.I.S. and had closed the door behind him. There was no other sounds that could be heard except for the clopping of the Doctor's hooves and the hum of the T.A.R.D.I.S. and my ship combined.
I sat my flank down on the metal floor and put one hoof on the main console. " I know." The Doctor said out of nowhere. " Know what?" Dark inquired. " That Lightning's Father died." " How? No pony told you." Us Timelords have a special link to any other Timelord alive. We can sense eachother, not matter where we are in the universe. I felt my brother's link fade away and I instantly knew he had died.".
The room went quiet again, not a sound to be heard. " I know how stressed you are." The Doctor said to me. I didn't respond. " You deserve some rest." He continued. " Just calm down and everything will be okay, I guess.". " Yeah, I guess." I responded. " You need to find a garden. Just Relax in that garden and enjoy nature." Dark suggested. I didn't respond that time. " Garden.. Garden... Where's a good garden?". I hear the royal garden at canterlot is nice this time of year." Dark responded as quick as a whip. " That sounds good. I haven't been there in years." I replied.
I stood up and ran around the console, flipping switches and pulled levers and pushing buttons. Dark and the Doctor were just watching me, dumbfounded. I pulled one final lever and the T.A.R.D.I.S. started producing a noise as it shook. I held onto the console a small smile spreading across my face. " So, is the shaking and the noise normal?" Dark asked. " Eeyup." I responded.
The noise and shaking had stopped. I turned to Dark, who was Chuckling at a joke the Doctor had just made, which I had not heard. " Here we are." I announced. Dark simply nodded and stopped leaning on a rail which he had been since about 2 minutes ago. I turned around started trotting down the catwalk to the door. I pulled on the door and it opened and celestia's sunshine filled the T.A.R.D.I.S. and warmed my face. I stepped out side the T.A.R.D.I.S. and looked around the garden. " Ahh, yes... this is pretty nice..." I said before I was interrupted by a familiar voice. "HEY YOU! Get that blue box out of the royal garden! That's where I keep my stone ponies! Oh, and that one god that has the power to destroy the fabric of time and space's order." My Iris's became really small to almost the point where they were very small dots as I turned to face Princess Celestia. " Oh, and one more thing..." She said "Uh..." I mumbled "You're standing in my poison joke crap.". I took my left fore hoof out of the poison joke which I had not noticed I'd been standing in. I looked at my hoof and whimpered.
----20 minutes later, back on my ship---
I was in my room under a blanket, with only my tail sticking out. The blanket was in the middle of my room. Dark, The Doctor, Issac, And Kent were all sitting on a sofa I had that was near the back of the room. " Lightning," Dark called " Lightning, Are you feeling alright? Has the poison joke got you or something?" " I-I-I'm not coming out." I said, My voice muffled by the large blanket. " Ever." " Come on, I'm sure it's not that bad." " Y-Yes it is! I'm not coming out! P-Piss off!" " Come on, We gotta continue on with life. You should be as adventurous as the adventure core." " I'm under a damn blanket! Do I look adventurous to you?!" My voice sounded normal " Oh, Lemme guess, You're a clown now?" Kent asked. Issac, Dark, and the doctor looked at Kent and Gave him cold, hard stares. " Oh come on, show us what you look like." The Doctor called out. " Are you looking like an Ood?" " No... Thank the heavens... still.... leave me alone..." I said, My voice still muffled. " Oh come on!" Dark yelled " One of these we're going to find out. Get out from under that blanket. You're not going to stay there forever."
"Yes I can. Just- just go!" I yelled. " Whatever it is, You deserve it." Dark said in a really annoyed voice. " You're nothing but a wuss under that blanket. Come on, ass-wipe, You're tougher than this." Dark groaned and sunk into the sofa. A sudden Idea hit Dark. "Lightning," Dark said " Is your stallion-hood intact? I bet it turned you into a mare didn't it?"
I started coming out from under the blankets and faced Dark's direction. My cheeks were red and a small tear leaked from my eye.
" I-I hate you! Why couldn't you just leave me alone?! WHY!?" I yelled with my new, mare voice. Jaws hit the floor. I swear I heard somepony yell " I called it!"
( Author's Note: Sorry for not updating in like 2 or 3 months, I was piled high with vacation stuff and school work so nothing could get done, But Luckily I had enough time to squeeze in a small chapter this weekend. Hopefully it's been worth the wait)
