Living The Dream
Chapter 104: Mark meets Twilight
Previous Chapter Next ChapterChapter 101
"This place is too colorful." Mark remarked as we neared Dali's house.
I shrugged, "You'll get use to it."
He sighed, "I hope... You do know I'm getting you back for bringing me here."
I gave a nod and smirked, "I know."
After we had gotten back and told Mark all about this world, we had all went our separate ways. Frederic back to the castle and Omnius went back to Ponyville.
Mark and I were going to Dali's house, to meet Twilight and the kids. After that, we're going to head over to our moms house.
"So, what's your wife like?" Mark asked as we stopped in front of the door.
I smiled, "Oh, you know. The kind I like."
He chuckled, "You mean nerdy?"
I shrugged, "Something along those lines."
He laughed, "Oh wow! I should have known."
I let out a small laugh and opened the door, "You may want to stay back for a second..."
He looked at me strangely, "Why?"
"The eye." I said like he should have known.
"Ah, gotcha." He said while nodding.
I gulped and walked into the house, "I'm home..."
After a few seconds of silence, I heard the clopping of hooves on the hardwood floor, "Finally, its been four hours! What were you.... YOUR EYE! What happened?!" Twilight screamed as she walked into the living room.
I scratched the back of my eye, "I was... shot."
"Shot? What's that mean?" She said as she made her way over to me.
"Uhhh, a piece of metal went through my right eye and removed it..." I said as she reached me.
She grabbed my face and began to examine my face, "You're always getting hurt!"
I chuckled despite myself, "I know."
[Yeah, but we get hurt like a fucking pro!]
She pulled the eye patch up and recoiled slightly, "Oh Lance, what have you done to yourself?!"
I pulled it back down, "Don't worry Twi, Frederic promised he would work with Omnius to make me something for that."
She seemed to lighten up, "He better. I don't want you to be like this for long."
I gave her a kiss on the snout, "Now that that's over, I want you to meet my brother, Mark."
"Brother?" She said as Mark walked in behind me.
Mark looked her over and smirked, "I knew it!"
She looked at him strangely, "Knew what?"
He kept smirking, "I knew he was talking about you."
Twilight smiled, "Well, it's nice to meet you Mark. Lance has said a few things about you."
<We have?>
[I don't remember talking about him.]
Mark chuckled and looked around, "Nice place."
"Oh, it's not ours. It's Lance's friend's, Dali." Twilight said before I could answer.
"What happened to yours?" Mark questioned.
"Our friend Frederic's father attacked them and destroyed our house in the process." Twilight said while glancing at me.
Mark looked at me, "Really?"
"Yeah, really." I responded.
He shook his head laughing, "I bet you were hiding during all this."
"Nope, I was fighting along side Frederic." I said proudly.
Mark raised an eyebrow, "Oh? You were always scared of fighting back on Earth."
I sighed, "I think you should know this Mark, I've changed a lot since then."
He looked me over, "Yeah, I guess." He then smiled, "Now, let me see your kids."
I nodded and looked at Twilight, "Where are they?"
She smiled a little, "Uhhh, I dropped them off at... school a few minutes after you left."
My eyes widened, "School?! But Spark's only a few months old!"
Twilight held up a hoof, "Oh no, he's two, remember. I think he's mature enough for it... besides, he wanted to go."
I raised an eyebrow, "Why would he want to go?"
"Well, after I told him Nova was going, he kinda begged me." She said while smiling.
Again, my eyes widened, "Nova's going to school too?! But, she's still young!"
Twilight chuckled, "Lance, Alicorn's mature way faster than normal ponies. She's already as mature as he is. In a few years, she'll be as mature as we are."
"Dayum." That was all I could say. I'm in shock, things are moving kinda to fast.
Twilight turned around, "You can pick him up at three thirty. I think you know which school hes at."
"Which one?" I asked as she walked away.
"The one next to the palace." She said before turning to me.
Mark chuckled, "I'm so confused right now."
"Lance." Twilight said.
I looked at her, "What?"
"Guess who was there signing up for a teaching position when I was dropping them off."
"Who?"
"Mr. Bleak." She said as she turned to walk away.
[I now feel sorry for the poor boy!]
<Mr. Bleak... A teacher at Spark's school... they're all doomed.>
Canterlot Private School
Spark's POV
"Now, what's this letter?" Mrs. Bloom asked one of the young students up front.
"Uhhh... C?" He said nervously.
"Yes! Very good!" She said, giving him praise.
I tilted my head back, so boring! Why am I in this kindergarten class? I know all of this thanks to mom!
I looked around the class room, wishing me and Nova were in the same class. Sadly, she was next door.
"Okay class, I want you all to get out your...." Mrs. Bloom began before she was interrupted.
The door to the class room and a brown pony walked in, "Mrs. Bloom?"
She looked at him and smiled, "Yes?"
The stallion gulped, "Ummm, we're moving you to a different class room. Another teacher is taking over this class."
She cocked her head, "Really? Who?"
"Me." Said a familiar voice as a large stallion entered the room.
Him?! Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?
"Who are you?" Mrs. Bloom asked.
"Mr. Bleak." Mr. Bleak said while examining the class. His eyes stopped on me.
Yep, it's a bad thing, mixed with a little good.... I hope.
Mrs. Bloom eyed the two, "Do you really think I want to stop teaching this class?"
"We're doubling your pay." The stallion said.
Mrs. Boom smiled and reached behind her desk and picked up a suit case, "I'm out of here! YES!"
She began to chant yes over and over again as she hopped out of the classroom.
The stallion backed out slowly and closed the door.
Mr. Bleak smiled to the class, "Hello victims, I'm your new teacher, Mr. Bleak."
Victims... it's a full on bad thing!
Two hours later, lunch room
I sat down at the table, my food in front of me.
I was wrong about Mr. Bleak, he wasn't that bad... HE WAS SO MUCH WORST! My face still hurts from when I sneezed after he said no talking.
The strangest thing is, once class dismissed, he instantly became friendly with me. Weird?
I sighed and looked at my food... this food is just to plain! It's only hay, bread, some jam, juice, and soup! I need real food!
"Huh, you're going here too?" Star Chaser said as he walked by with his tray on his back.
I looked at him, "Huh, yeah. My mom wanted me to come here."
Chaser shook his head, "Just my luck. *Sigh* Have you seen Nova yet?"
I shook my head, "No. Why?"
He sighed again and sat down across from me, "She's been getting real friendly with this one colt." He shook his head, "I don't approve of it."
Nova's talking to a colt... I suddenly feel.... strange. Like I'm mad, but also sad. "Who is it?"
Star Chaser looked around, "I don't know his name."
I looked around and finally saw Nova talking to a colt in the line.
Well, finding her was easy.
The colt was a dark blue with a brown mane and tail. He already had his cutie mark, a curled up rope. A rope? Really?
I have a feeling I'm not going to like this guy.
"Look at them, talking to each other. I'm watching that colt!" Star Chaser said, staring daggers at the colt talking to Nova.
I nodded, "Me too."
Star Chaser looked at me, "You know what Spark? I think me and you are going to get along just fine."
I smiled, "Really?"
He nodded, "Yep, we have a common enemy."
I chuckled, "I guess we do."
Star Chaser isn't as bad as I thought he was. At least I made one friend on my first day of school.
Ending this chapter here, mostly because I can't take reading the comments anymore and just want the prank to be over.
Also, here's what I promised:
What do you guys think? Should Lance have the Bionic eye? Or just an eye patch? It's all up to you guys.
