Guys' Nights New Additions

Opening

The curtain rises up to reveal:

"Spike!" a chorus sang, as the little purple dragon smiles and wave. "And Vlad."

Prince Blueblood jumps in, "Ta-da!" he sang, but didn't get any applauses.

"Discord!" the chorus sang, revealing Discord, and Big Mac.

Discord was mink winks, smiles, and several points to the audience, while Big Mac simply waves his hoof. "And Big Mac!" the chorus sang.

Blueblood was later doing a tap dance, before he tossed the cane away, "Ta-da!" He sang, and still didn't get any applauses. "Well," he huffed, as he walks away, and gets hit on the head with the cane.

"Thorax!" the chorus sang, as the camera pans over to show the changeling king himself, with his co-ruler, and brother, "Pharynx!"

Blueblood later walked back on stage, sets up a ring, before he lit a small fire at the end of his horn, which he used to lit the ring up. With that, Blueblood took some steps back, before he came back running, "TA-" he said, as he jumps through the hoop, and got incinerated upon jumping the other side, save for his face. "Da...."

"Stygian! Stygian! Stygian!" the chorus sang, as the last of the boys appeared, waving his hooves, ushering the audience to hold their applause.

Blueblood, at this point, was really losing it, "And Blueblood, and Blueblood, and Blueblood," Blueblood repeated, before he gets himself into a cannon, and it fires him across the screen. "AND BLUEBLOOD! AND BLUEBLOOD!! AND BLUEBLOOD! AND BLUEBLOOD!! AND BLUEBLOOD! AND BLUEBLOOD!! AND BLUEBLOOD! AND BLUEBLOOD!!" The furious unicorn stallion ranted, as he flies past the boys.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" Princess Luna screamed.

"Well, he had a pleasant trip to the moon," Discord joked.

"Do ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!" Two random elderly ponies laughed from their seats.

"That's us folks!" Spike said, before he walks over and flips the switch, turning the story's title on.

Canterlot

After the Friendship Map called the boys to Canterlot, the boys appeared in the middle of the city's street, in a flash of light, courtesy of Discord.

"Whoa, head rush!" Stygian groaned, dizzily.

"Don't worry," Spike spoke. "After awhile, you'll get use to it."

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"So where is this friendship problem that we need to solve?" Pharynx asked.

"Well, let's see," Discord cracked his knuckles, as he took a whiff in the air. Before long, the draconequus was on the ground, sniffing like a hound dog, much to the Stygian's bewilderment.

"Do draconequus like him always act like this?" Stygian asked.

"Buddy," Spike began. "I'd rather not question it."

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

Discord continues to sniffed the ground, before he suddenly stood straight up, and immediately pointed his nose in a specific direction, "Ah-ha! It's this way!" Discord shouted, before he disappears in a flash of light.

"Hey Discord!" Spike shouted, as he took off running after the draconequus. "Wait for us!"

"Eeyup!" Big Mac called, as he chased after Spike, followed by Thorax and Pharynx.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Stygian called, as he galloped after the boys.

The Tasty Treats

Turns out, the smell Discord smelled was really Coriander Cumin's famous Flat Noodle Soup.

"I'm hungry," Discord said in his defense, to the boys who all bore questionable looks at him. "Besides, I can't work on solving a friendship problem on an empty stomach. Can I?"

With a roll of their eyes, the boys all followed Discord as he leads them into the Tasty Treats, where they took a seat.

"Wow," Stygian marveled at the interior decorations of the restaurant. "This place is beautiful."

"You can say that again," Spike replied.

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"Kinda too flashy for me," Pharynx grumbled.

"I think the ponies who run this place have good taste," Thorax voiced.

"Well, if you ask me, I for one thing they could use a little more, pizzazz," Discord said, as he snapped his fingers, turning the latin decorations of the fabrics, into colorful, intensive patterns.

While Discord entertains himself and the boys with his antics, a certain honey badger arrived, don up in an apron, and simple cap, while carrying a tray of cups.

"Welcome to the Tasty Treats," the badger greeted. "Your server will be right with you," He said, as he places the cups on the boys' table.

"Thank you," Stygian thanked, before he levitated the cup to his mouth, only for him, and the boys to spew it out, momentarily.

"What the-?!" Pharynx coughed, with bubbles coming out of his mouth. "What is this?"

"Tastes like dishwater!" Spike said in disgusts.

Eyeballing at the cup, Discord stuck his tongue, as it turns green, "It is dishwater!" Discord cringed.

Setting his cup down, Spike called out, "Busboy! Busboy!" No reply came, "Now where did he go?" Spike asked, while looking around the restaurant.

"Well, I know where he's going when I'm through with him!" Pharynx said as he got out of his seat. "Straight to Tartarus!"

"Pharynx! Wait!" Thorax shouted, as he got up and chases after his brother. "Let's not be hasty!"

With Thorax chasing after Pharynx, and preventing all Tartarus from breaking lose, Stygian was left at the table, with Spike, Discord, and Big Mac.

Stygian scans across the room, before his eyes suddenly sets upon a unicorn mare, sitting at a table, all by herself. In appearance, she has piercing moderate opal eyes, dark orchid coat, and moderate rose man and tail. For attires, she wore a long dark robe, and a dark fedora.

"Whoa!" Stygian gasped. "Who is that?"

"Who?" the boys asked, before they followed Stygian's gaze, directing them to the mare in question.

"Oh, that's Fizzlepop," Spike answered.

"Fizzlepop Berrytwist to be precise," Discord added.

"Fizzle pop," Stygian repeated, as he continues to look at the mare. "That's a cute name, for a mare like her," Stygian's eyelid quickly drooped, as he continues looking at the mare, 'Not to mention, very pretty.'

Fizzle pop was looking at a menu, when she suddenly looks up and caught Stygian staring her. In response, Stygian quickly looked away, trying to act natural, all the while blushing a storm.

Then, the restraint's host, Coriander Cumin came, "Welcome to the Tasty Treats!" he greeted. "What can I get you gentlemen this evening?"

"We'd like to have some more of your Flat Noodle Soup please," Spike ordered, before Big Mac whispered into Spike's frills. "And make it two, please!" Coriander nodded as he wrote the said orders, "Oh, and two of our friends will be rejoining us momentarily, so be sure to come back, when they return."

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"I'd like to have one of your finest grass sandwich, if you please," Discord order. "Extra mustard Dijon dressing, I might add. And an extra for to-go, please. I'll be taking that one home, for Fluttershy."

Coriander wrote all of the boys' orders down on a notepad he levitated, before he turns to Stygian, "And for you young stallion?"

"I'm fine, thank you," Stygian replied.

With that, Coriander was on his way to the kitchen, "Saffron!" he called. "We need more Dijon dressing!"

While the boys waited for their orders, Discord snapped his fingers and started folding the napkins in a variety of shapes. Inspired by Discord's magical display, Stygian took notice of the silverwares that were on the table. With that, Stygian decided to amuse himself, by levitating the silverwares via magic, and crafting them in a replica of Canterlot Castle.

Needless to say, this didn't go unnoticed for the rest of the patrons, Fizzlepop included.

"Wow, Stygian," Spike mused. "Neat trick!"

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"Thanks," Stygian smiled sheepishly.

"Yes, it's good, for a unicorn," Discord grinned mischievously, as he snaps his fingers, and the floating napkins shaped themselves into pony soldiers. "Attack!" Discord order, as his napkin ponies attacked, Stygian's silverware castle.

In response, Stygian hexed his castle, causing the silverwares to rearrange themselves into the shape of a spider. The spider lunged towards the napkins, who all screamed in fear as they retreated.

Quickly noticing a box of toothpicks, Discord snapped his fingers, and the toothpicks were all flown out of the box, as and into the napkins.

"En garde! Touché! Cafe au Lait! Champs-Élysées! Pompeii! Au revior! Zoot suit!" Discord said, as his napkin soldiers all waved their toothpicks around like swords.

In response, Stygian's silverware spider stood up, as it morphs itself into a tall bipedal fighter, with multiple arms, each with dinner knives for weapons. The silverware and napkin soldiers all charged at each other.

The patrons all cheered for, either Discord's napkin warriors, or Stygian's silverware beast to win.

"Come on, napkins!" a stallion shouted. "Give it to him!"

"Give the monster the big nap!" a mare called.

"Take their heads off!" an elderly mare shouted, cheering for the silverware beast.

Fizzlepop shook her head in amusement, when the honey badger arrived, "Hey Fizzy," the badger spoke. "Can I borrow fifty bits for the silver monster to win?"

"Ah-ha!" Pharynx's voice shouted. "There you are!"

"Yipe!" the honey badger whimpered, before he took off running, as Pharynx chased after him, with a bar of soap in the angry changeling's aura.

"Hey! Come back here and take it!" Pharynx shouted. "Take it like a man!"

"Pharynx!" Thorax shouted as he resumes chasing his older, short-tempered brother. "Calm blue ocean! Calm blue ocean!"

Fizzlepop just watched the two changelings leave, when another server came up to her, "Well it's about time," she spoke calmly.

Meanwhile, Discord and Stygian's fighters continue to go all out. Discord's napkins all surrounded Stygian's silverware monster, before they attempted to smother it. However, the silverwares all separated from each other, avoiding the napkins, before they shaped themselves into a giant hand. The napkins copied the silverwares. Soon, both hands tussled each other, in an all out thumb wrestling match.

Soon, Discord's napkin's thumb caught Stygian's silverware thumb, "One, two, three, four, five...." Spike counted, before Stygian's silverwares snaked over Discord's napkin thumb, and caught it, "One, two, three, four, five...."

"What is the meaning of this?!" Coriander Cumin shouted.

There, standing in the doorway of the kitchen, was Coriander Cumin, with his daughter, Saffron Masala, levitating the boys' orders.

"He started it!" Stygian and Discord replied, while pointing at each other.

"Where'd he go?!" Pharynx voice called, before in a flash of light, he reveals himself, on Saffron's plate. "Where'd that yellow bellied badger go? I'll wash his mouth out, if he thinks he can get away, feeding me dishwater!"

"Pharynx!" Thorax panted, as he came out of the kitchen. "Inside voice, brother. Inside voice. We're in public!"

Later

After the excitements got settled, the boys got their orders, along with much cleaner drinks, the boys settle down to eat. Though, Pharynx was apparently put on a dog leash, courtesy of Discord, for the safety of the badger - if not, every pony around him.

"Let me go, at once!" Pharynx struggled. "Justice will be served! I demand hard cold stone justice! You hear me?!!"

"C'mon, Pharynx," Thorax ushered. "Let it go! I'm sure it was a mistake."

"That was attempted murder!" Pharynx countered. "That badger tried to kill me, with polluted water! And I aim to pay it back to him, with clean, cold, hard, stone justice!" Pharynx paused for a moment. "Whoa. That actually sounded bad when I say it, out loud."

"Whatever, let's just finish eating so we can find the friendship problem, and get back to Ponyville and finish up our guys' night," Spike spoke.

"So, how exactly do you find a friendship problem?" Stygian asked. "And once you found it, how do you solve it?"

"Well, to be honest," Spike began. "Twilight and the girls have always been the heroes called to solving a friendship problem. "So, they're kinda the expert at solving, and finding them, I guess."

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"Though, once," Thorax began. "Both me and Spike have been a part of a friendship problem before."

"Oh yeah," Pharynx began, in a more calmer tone. "Isn't that when that Dragon Lord Ember girl came to visit Ponyville, and then Spike over there tried to keep you, and her, from meeting each other, for fear it would start a war, or something?"

Spike chuckled nervously, while blushing up a storm, "Yep, pretty stupid of me," Spike smiled sheepishly.

"Oh, come on Spike," Discord said, patting the dragon's back. "It was very stupid of you."

Spike shot a deadpan look, "Gee, thanks for rubbing it in," Spike said sarcastically.

"My pleasure," Discord replied, with a smug grin.

"Though, back on topic," Spike continues. "From what the girls have told us. They just simply go to the place where they're being called, and just look around, until they find the problem, and work their magic to solve it."

"Fascinating," Stygian noted.

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"So first thing first," Discord began. "After we have lunch, the first step we do is....."

Flashy Transition

".......Interrogate the locals!" Discord declared. "First thing first, we gotta find someone who looks like they're having a friendship problem."

Stygian looked at the draconequus questionably, "Um, what's your criteria on that?" Stygian asked.

"Good instinct!" Discord replied. "Keep your eyes open boys!" With that, Discord projected his eyes into binoculars, as he scans the surroundings.

"Um, that's kinda too, creepy," Spike spoke. "I mean, you can't judge some pony's problem, just by looking at them."

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"AH-HA!!" Discord shouted, as he ran over Spike and Big Mac into pancakes. "You there! Start talking!" Discord said, to an elderly pony.

"EEK! What heaven's name?" the pony exclaimed.

"Allow me to introduce myself, madam," Discord began. "I am Discord. The Master of Chaos. The suave, talented, handsome, and courageous hero of this story!"

"Ooh, well please to meet you-"

"Now what's your problem, ma'm?" Discord asked. "Is your friend dying? Do you have a grandson who's falling out with you? Or is your husband thinking about divorce?"

Soon, the rest of the boys caught up to Discord, "Discord! What are you doing?!" Spike asked.

"What's it look like I'm doing?" Discord asked. "I'm interrogating this nice, little, old lady here, if she's having any friendship problems."

The boys looked at each other in bewilderment, "I fail to find that helpful, than it is less helpful," Spike said.

"Eeyup," Big Mac replied.

Walking up to the old pony, Spike apologized, "Sorry about my kooky friend here. This is our first time solving a friendship problem together."

"Oh, well that's quite alright young dragon," the mare replied. "I don't have any problem, such as that."

"Oh, well sorry for troubling you then," Spike said, as he and the boys took their leave. "Good-bye."

"Have a good evening," the mare replied.

Soon, the boys were once more conversing with their new member, "Okay Stygian," Spike began. "Let that be a first lesson for us. If you want to solve a friendship problem, never just charge up to some pony like a complete stranger, and ask them if they have a problem."

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"Well sorry," Discord apologized with a roll of his eyes. "Can't I help it, if I'm still new to this?"

"Eenope."

"So, how do we really find this friendship problem?" Stygian asked.

"Well, from what the girls say," Spike began. "They either find it, or it finds them."

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

From the corners of Pharynx's eyes, he caught sight of something black, and white, "AH-HA!!" Pharynx shouted, as he leaps into an alley. "Now I've got you!" However, much to his surprise, it was only a tuxedo cat. The cat screeched in fright, before it took off, running. "Never mind," Pharynx spoke. "It's just a plain old putty tat."

Thorax groaned, as he shook his head, shameful at his brother, "You don't suppose the map called us teach Pharynx about holding grudges?" Spike asked.

"I wish," Thorax replied.

"What the devil is going on here?" a voice hollered.

"Oh no," Spike groaned.

"Not him," Discord groaned.

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed in dismay.

"What?" Stygian asked. "Who's him?"

"Yeah, who?" Thorax asked.

Rather than answering, the three boys pointed their friends' attentions in a direction, towards Prince Blueblood, who was walking with his dog, Bunny.

"Who's that?" Stygian asked.

"That's Vlad Blueblood!" Spike whispered. "He's evil!"

Just then, Fizzlepop was passing by, when Blueblood bumped into her, "Move aside!" Blueblood said, as he rudely shoves the mare away.

Needless to say, the boys stood aghast at his action, "You see what I mean?" Spike asked.

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

Soon, the boys ran pass Blueblood, causing the prince to spin around, as they helped Fizzlepop up.

"You okay there, Fizzy?" Spike asked.

"Just a little shaken," Fizzlepop answered. "But nothing too serious."

"Glad to know you're alright," Thorax said.

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

Pharynx turned, and glared angrily at Blueblood, "Hey you!" he called.

Blueblood turned to the changeling, with his eyebrow raised, "Are you addressing to me?" the snobby stallion asked.

"What's the matter?" Pharynx barked, as he pointed to Fizzlepop. "You blind are something?"

"What?! You accusing me of blindness?" Blueblood asked. "It was her fault! She got in my way!"

"Oh really? And a simple excuse me isn't simple enough for you to say? Or how about an apology for when you push her, like that?"

"Me?! Apologize? Humph!" Prince Blueblood raised his head up, as he looked away. "That is for the weak and wrong! So she should be saying she's sorry to me!"

"Not as much as you should be, for pushing her down like that!" Spike added.

"Well, look who it is," Blueblood sneered. "It's little baby diaper Spike the baby diaper dragon!" With that, Blueblood entered a fit of laughter.

"Hey!" Thorax began, as he assertively stands defensively over Spike. "You can't talk to my friend like that!"

"Oh, I'm sorry," Blueblood rolled his eyes. "Who are you?"

"I'm Thorax! Current leader of the Changelings! That's who!" Thorax snarled.

"Oh, well I don't care," Blueblood replied. "I've got better things to do than wasting my time with a couple of bugs and lizard."

"Hey! Let me tell something to you!" Spike began, as he got in front of Blueblood.

"Oh, don't you dare touch me, you filthy reptile!" Blueblood said, as he smacks Spike in the face.

"Hey watch it!" Thorax said, as he and the rest of the boys helped their dragon friend up, as well as confronting Blueblood.

"Oh you've gone and made me mad!" Pharynx said, as he transforms into his monstrous bug form, and scares a frighten Blueblood.

Soon, all of the Canterlot ponies took notice, as they stopped to watch the scene being played out.

"WHAT IS GOING ON?!!!" a loud voice called, revealing itself to be Princess Luna.

Every pony stopped what they were doing, before they pointed, "HE started it!"

Prince Blueblood was seen, pointing at the guys, while the guys were pointing at Blueblood.

Later

"What have we taught you about the golden rule?!" Luna scolded.

"Treat others as you want to be treated, blah blah blah," Blueblood repeated.

"Ahem!" Luna cleared her throat.

"Alright, fine!" Blueblood folded his hooves as he turns to Fizzlepop. "I'm sorry you have broken horn."

"Blueblood!" Luna scolded.

"And I'm sorry you can't do magic, like a proper unicorn of high status."

"Blueblood!"

"And I'm sorry if your mane looks bad."

"BLUEBLOOD!!"

"What? I apologized, didn't I? What more do you want from me?"

"How about be a little more genuine, with your apologies? Apologies to Fizzlepop, exactly how you'd want her to apologize to you!" Blueblood turned his head away in defiance, "Alright! That's it, young stallion! You're grounded!"

"WHAT?!!" Blueblood exclaimed. "ME?!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO ME!!!"

"I can, and I just did!" Luna said, as she magically grabs Blueblood by the ear, and pulls him away.

Taking one last look at the boys, Blueblood shouted, "I'll get you boys for this!!!"

"Have fun being locked in your room!" Discord shouted.

After watching Blueblood disappearing out of sight, the boys turned to Fizzlepop, "Sorry that we didn't get him to apologize for you, Fizz," Spike said, solemnly. "But, at least we rat out Blueblood for you."

"Well, that's better than nothing, I guess," Fizzlepop replied. "Still, it was entertaining to see Princess Luna dragging him off like that."

"Yeah," Spike agreed. 'Guess some things will never change,' he thought. "So, while we're here," Spike began, as he turns to Fizzlepop. "How've you been, Fizzy?"

"Oh, just fine, I guess," Fizzlepop said gloomily.

"Really? You don't sound like you're 'just fine,'" Spike replied.

"Nope," Big Mac shook his head.

"You sounded a bit more, um," Thorax paused to think for a moment. "What's the word?"

"Unsure?" Pharynx answered.

"No, not that," Thorax replied. "Um...."

"Insecure?"

"Closer, but....."

"Alienated? Ostracized? Isolated?"

"Down in the dumps, is more like it," Thorax answered.

"I'm just having trouble fitting in, okay?" Fizzlepop answered.

"What?" Spike inquired. "But I thought you were enjoying yourself here in Canterlot. I mean, last time me and Twilight were here, you hit it off quite well with Moon Dancer and the girls here."

"That's the thing!" Fizzlepop answered, as she sighed. "They're all magical. They've all got horns. And all I've got, is his....." With that, Fizzlepop slowly lifted her hat up to show a stump, where a horn used to be. Needless to say, Stygian was surprised. But now that he got a closer look, he did took notice of a large scar running down over Fizzlepop's right eye. How could such fate befall on a unicorn so beautiful, such as her.

"Being with some ponies who can control their powers, it's just hard for me to....get along," Fizzlepop murmured. "That's why I'm better off alone."

Spike looked at each other, before they all nodded in agreement.

Spike opened up his mouth to say, "It's true! It's very hard to get along with unicorns who have horns, when you've got a broken one," Discord answered, much to the boys' shocks. "That, and the fact you've once worked for a delusional, weirdo, and plain goofy Storm King," Instantly, the boys elbowed the draconequus, appalled at what he said, "What? I thought's what we nodded for."

"That's not helpful!" Spike replied.

"Eeyup!"

Walking over to Fizzlepop, Spike placed a comforting claw on her shoulder, "Look Fizz. You gotta let some of that stuff go in the past, because it just doesn't matter. The only thing that mattered, is what you choose to be now."

"Eeyup."

"Easy for you boys to say," Fizzlepop replied. "You don't know what it's like to just look at your own reflection, and then be reminded for all the horrible things you've done in the past."

"Oh believe us," Stygian spoke, as he walked up to the mare. "I know that feeling too well."

"We all do," Thorax spoke.

Soon, the boys all exchanged their stories to Fizzlepop, who could hardly believe every words.

"Wow," Fizzlepop began. "And I thought I was bad."

"Believe me," Stygian replied. "It could've been worse."

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"But still, the last thing I would do, is to make another friend," Fizzlepop looked away sadly. "I'll just fail them in the end."

"That's not true!" Spike exclaimed. "You're not a failure, Fizzle! Nopony's perfect! Even Twilight admits she and her friends aren't flawless!"

"But still, who'd want to be friends with me?" Fizzlepop asked.

"I would!" Spike said, taking Fizzlepop by surprise. "Because in a way, Fizz. You and I aren't so different."

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"Same here," Thorax spoke.

"Well, I don't usually admit if I have common interest with someone else," Pharynx began. "But I can admit, I'd want to be friends with you." Fizzlepop smiled, "Um, would it be alright if I call you, Soda Pop, or just Pop? I don't know why, it's just that, to me, Fizzlepop kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But Soda Pop, that really pops! Uh, no offense."

"None taken, I guess," Fizzlepop mumbled.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to have another fellow, former baddy on my friendship list," Discord said, as he produced a scroll, with Fluttershy's picture on top, and cut in the shape of a heart.

"I'd certainly want to be friends with you," Stygian spoke. "Like I said, I may not have magic, or strength. But to me, I think you're the strongest unicorn I've ever known. Broken horn and all."

Fizzlepop felt touched by Stygian's words, while at the same time feeling suddenly good inside her. Almost as if her heart's thumping tenfold, and it wants to break free from her chest.

"I don't know what to say," Fizzlepop smiled tearfully.

"You don't have to say a thing," Spike smiled, as the rest of the boys all shook their head in agreement.

"Fizzle pop!" a voice cried out, revealing itself to be Moondancer, and her gang of unicorn girls. "There you are!"

"We've been looking all over for you!" Minuette added.

"You were?" Fizzle pop asked in surprise.

"Of course we were," Twinkleshine said. "After that explosion you made with one of Moon Dancer's chemistry set, you just took off. We thought you got hurt, so we just came to make sure you're okay! That's all."

"But I thought you girls would just, forget about me, and move on," Fizzlepop said.

"What?" Moondancer exclaimed. "All for a simple accident? That'll take more than that to drive us apart from you!"

"Yeah! Accidents happen!" Minuette giggled. "Just ask Twilight! She made a big accident of leaving us without saying good-bye!"

"But then she learned her mistake, and came back to make amends," Lemon Heart added.

Fizzlepop turned her head to the boys, who all gave her encouraging smiles, "So, um, if it's not too late," Fizzlepop began. "Can we make amends?"

"Of course!" Moondancer replied. "We need an extra hoof to clean my place up."

"Let's go!" Minuette chirped, as she and the girls walked away. "Maybe we'll make it, into a cleaning game!"

Fizzle pop soon took her leave, while the boys looked, seeing Spike's spikes flashing, Big Mac and Stygian's cutie marks were flashing and vibrating, along with Thorax and Pharynx's horns.

"Does this mean we have another problem to solve?" Stygian asked.

"Eenope," Big Mac replied.

"It means, our work here is done," Spike smiled.

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

"Boys!" Fizzlepop called, as she galloped back to them. "I just wanted to say, thank you. I'm glad to have that talk with you boys."

"All in a night's work, Fizzy!" Spike said, raising a thumbs up.

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

Fizzlepop looked at Stygian, who blushed with his cheeks turning red, "So," Fizzlepop began. "Will I be seeing you again?"

"Um, I uh," Stygian stammered. "Sure! I mean, maybe! I mean, I'd like that very much."

Fizzlepop smiled warmly, which was enough to make Stygian feel the funny fluttery feeling in his stomach, "Well, I'll see you around," Fizzlepop replied, as she walks away to catch up with Moondancer and the others.

"See ya," Stygian sighed.

"Well boys," Discord began. "Looks like we did a good job, on our first Guys' Friendship Problem Solving Night."

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed, followed by the other boys.

Just then, Pharynx caught sight of a certain badger who was trying to escape, "THERE HE IS!!!" Pharynx shouted.

"YIPE!!!" Grubber whimpered, as he is once again, running for dear life. "Help!" Grubber cried. "Crazy, angry horsefly chasing me!"

"I'll teach you to feed me dishwater!" Pharynx roared.

"PHARYNX!! NO!!" Thorax called, as he was once more, chasing after his brother. "Don't kill the badger! Don't kill the badger! Think of the children! Think of the children!!"

"Well, it was good, while it lasted," Spike said.

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed.

Closing

Prince Blueblood was sawing the curtain's rope like crazy, before he jumps in front of the boys, "Ta-da!!!"

The boys quickly jumped, just in time, as the curtain closes behind them, and they struck poses, followed by the audience clapping.
