Meet the ponies that are going to Save the Day
~Cascade~
“CASCADE!” yelled Violet Petals. Cascade blinked her eyes open to see she had, yet again, fallen asleep in the middle of her job. She sleepily got up on fours and blinked and Violet. Why am I awake, oh yeah because Violet just had to wake me up, she thought. She yawned it off and went back to work. But still work was not a reason to wake a pony up in the middle of sleeping especially, in the middle of such a strange dream. She shook her head to wake herself more just so nothing bad would happen and went back to picking up water. The dark magic swarmed her horn like a bear on honey as she lifted up another blob of water. Cascade quickly added it to the sculpture she was making hopefully this time it would not topple over. She only needed a little bit more until the flower was finished.
“Violet, we’re almost done, at least this is the last job of the day,” she moaned. Violet nodded and went back to super vising the “small” details. More like screaming at me over one fleck of water misplaced she thought. Her horn ached from the dark magic. She was able to summon the dark magic which not every unicorn can do but it caused such a magic drain the next day it was the true negative of the job. But that was the only way to do Water Manipulation, sadly. Cascade added the last details to the petals to make them look as if they were curling out to touch the ponies in the crowd. She grinned to see her work. She added the solidify spell so it wouldn't just concave or collapse once she stopped holding it up. That had happened once and Cascade had to re do the whole entire garden made of water, again.
“Okay Cascade lets head back home, if we’re lucky we can see the Star celebration,” Violet said and flung open her wings. Cascade sighed, and thought of home. Oh, home sweet home. With a soft couch to lie on and a nice view of outside, this made an ideal relaxing area. Oh, outside her cottage had the best scenery with mountains and a ravine that flowed right through her front yard. The ravine made it easy for her to strengthen her dark magic to make even more complex water sculptures. Her horn started to glow the more she thought about home. Cascade was soon whisked home after thinking and sighed happily. That flower had taken a lot out of her and she just needed to rest. Maybe afterwards she’ll get Violet and they would go off to the Cloud field to watch the Star celebration. But first she needed a nap.
~Sculpture~
BANG! Sculpture looked up from her snowflake carving. What is it this time I’m nearly done, she thought. All the other pegasi around her glanced up to see a purple Pegasus had just taken out Glazy Hearts. It didn’t affect her really, she wasn’t friends with Glazy. In fact Glazy was a distraction to her and made it hard to concentrate let alone it took Glazy forever to make one snowflake. Sculpture sighed and went back to carving. She carved away at the shard of ice with her feather just to get the details right. She didn’t want one bad snowflake and her other ones beautiful. I mean there are other snowflakes but they are all so lazy it takes them forever to make an ugly one, she thought. It was summer but that didn’t mean they shouldn’t ramp up productions, there were only a few more months until winter. Fall usually blew by like nothing and winter would come speeding up the hill towards them so less time to make beautiful snowflakes and not ugly ones she thought.
“Hey Sculpture,” said the black colt next to her. She smiled and turned her attention to him. Oh great Celestia it’s him, she thought.
“Oh hey, Comet,” she said with the most fakest smile anyone had ever seen. She did not like a single part about him. But she was stuck with him as a partner and she had to be nice to him or she would be kicked out of her job. She couldn’t be mean well yes she could but he shouldn’t be here in the arts he was one of the “ugly” snowflake makers. He was a straight-A athlete not a whimsical artist who created gorgeous dances out of snow. She sighed and went back to carving away at the ice. She was nearly done and this would be the last snowflake she would have to do for the day. Then she would be away from him.
“So after works done do you want to go get a drink of cider, or we can go hang out at my place,” he said smiling. Damn it, she thought. She gulped and sighed. Why can’t he get it that I don’t like him, she thought. But to keep my job I can’t turn him down because I know he’ll twist the story, she thought.
“I would……love….. To Comet,” she said hesitantly. She should have lied, maybe her cat was sick or her close friend had died or something. But she couldn’t, she couldn’t lose her job. Now she had to go on a date with loud, pure self-centered Comet Ace that was worse than going on a date with Rainbow Dash’s son Phoenix. He smiled and went back to work; somehow he didn’t see the resistance. She slowly went back to work just so she didn’t finish too early, she wanted to be as late as she could for the date.
“So where are we going,” he said. She wanted to go to the bar but that had too many bad outcomes, especially including Comet. They could just go straight to his house, but then again too many bad outcomes. Think about other places maybe places where you can just leave, she thought.
“How about the cloud field,” she said and regretted what she said. Today was the Star celebration, most couples went there to make out or something like that as the stars lifted into the sky and danced with the moon. She sighed and finished the snowflake.
~Candy Assortment~
“HEY!” yelled Candy. She looked sternly at nothing, but really it was at my screen. I gulped and looked at her.
“Hello,” I typed back hopefully she wasn’t mad. I had forgotten that she could break the fourth wall of magic. She walked up to the screen and glared at me.
“NEVER CALL ME CANDY ASSORTMENT!!” she yelled and walked away. I guess I’ll change it.
~Candy*made the change~
Candy hoped around Ponyville with a smile on her face. She had recently opened up her own candy organizing shop. All organized and perfect she thought. She had no competition because there was only one other candy organizing shop and that was in Manehatten.
“CANDY, HEY CANDY,” yelled Apple Shard. Apple is Candy’s best friend. They were friends even before Candy knew they were friends. Apple was kind and caring but she added a touch of variety to Candy’s everything is sugar coated life. Apple Shard was a descendent of an Apple so she inherited the farm. Her grandmother was Apple Bloom, can you believe that! Candy always wondered what it was like to be related to one of the Elements of Harmony.
“Hey, Applishes,” she said jokingly and kissed her cheek. Apple blushed; it was noticeable from her white pelt. Candy smiled and blushed too, although it was less noticeable on her red coat.
“So Candy do ya wanna go hang out, we could go get a spell so we can go to Cloud Field to watch the Star Celebration tonight.” Apple said looking to the side. Candy smiled.
“Sure, Apple,” she said and hugged her. She had to be on her way, though. She had to close up shop, she didn’t want anyone to break into her shop. She walked away towards it. The shop glittered in the late sun light. She smiled. It was a rough ride to get the store actually open. But something didn’t feel right. She felt the thought of someone or maybe even maybe many people watching her at the moment.
“HEY, can’t a pony just close her shop without y’all watching her like stalker,” she screamed into nothing. Again she broke the fourth wall and I started to sweat. I really shouldn’t have given her this power because truly it was affecting me. I guess I’ll switch the view to another pony.
~Falling Leaf~
Fall sighed as the lush trees seemed to sprout around her. She disliked the thought of actual summer. Her job was to slowly bring the trees into fall. She turned her brown head so the summer breeze hit her face, softly but powerful. She flapped her wings just to make another breeze. Some leaves swayed in the breeze and she remembered helping them get to the ground. She turned her head to see the construction going on over the hills.
“Hey, Fall you should really get going,” said Flower. She shook her light pink hair and looked down at Falling Leaf. She still starred out into nothing. Nothing, really to look al though Flower thought. But she remembered it was Fall they were or really she was thinking about, she could turn something boring into a beautiful piece of art.
Fall whisked around and got up. She didn't speak to Flower. She started walking towards the forest, and Flower sighed. Flower turned around and started walking towards Ponyville.
“You know Fall, you don’t have to be silent,” she said. Fall just kept on walking. She wanted to scream at Flower; she wanted to tell her pain of having a little sister that takes everything you have and then try to be nice to her. But she kept her mouth shut. She hadn't heard her own voice in two years and she wasn’t about to. She was afraid of hearing, or seeing what would happen if she opened her mouth.
Flower ran off. She kept on running until she got to town. Fall turned around and walked into the Everfree forest. She could use some peace and quiet. Flower should have never come. She never wanted to see her stupid purple face or anything. Her white hair blew in the wind. She sighed and opened her wings.
“You know you shouldn't be in here alone,” said a tannish pony. Fall looked at her. The unicorn stood there, orange makeup and pretty haired in the everfree.
“Not talking, don’t worry it isn’t bad,” she said
~Muse~
Muse blinked at the brown Pegasus. She felt awkward just sitting there. She needed to lighten things up. Then it hit her.
“How about a story,” she said and the pony looked at her weird. She opened her saddle bag and pulled a brown book out. It read ‘Folk Stories of Equastria’. She smiled and motioned for the brown pony to follow her to a clearing where she sat down.
“I’m Muse Folklore telling and Singing extraordinaire!” she said as the brown pony sat down. She looked at her and girl blushed and went to open her mouth but quickly closed it. Weird that she won’t talk she thought. The girl looked around the clearing.
The brown pony walked towards a leaf and threw it into the air. Muse stared at the leaf as it flew towards the grown, dancing in a beautiful but unskilled dance. The green leaf spun in circles slowly but quickly drifting towards the ground
“Your name, is it Falling Leaf,” Muse said. The girl’s eyes lit up at her guess. I guess I’m right she thought and smiled. “Now about that story.”
Fall sat next to Muse. Muse opened the book to a section about the 4 seasons. She stood up and began to act out the parts. First she was two snow ponies one a unicorn with great magics and one a Pegasus that crafted the snow and scenery. Next was summer in which first she was an earth pony, a farmer who organized her crops for everyone to eat and a unicorn who told stories to bring life to dances and life to the show. Next was fall with a Pegasus who adored nature and could dance with great power and an earth pony who could transform old relics into usable tools. Now Spring was unique. Spring had four ponies. An earth pony who would bring late crops back so no one would starve, two pegasi would grow the flowers and one colt Pegasus who protected the sky.
Fall looked at Muse. Muse sat down next to Fall. “So I think maybe after what happened with your sister maybe we should start heading to the Star Festival,” she said.
Fall looked at her but didn't question the unicorn; she knew she had to do something at the festival. Both got up and walked out of the forest.
~Relic~
Relic sat in her shop, old pieces of material lied on her table. Modern “treasures” lied in the “creativity” corner. Relic slowly fell onto her desk with a WHAM! Muzzle to the table it made it hard nearly impossible to snore, thank goodness. If she started to snore she would wake herself up, most definitely. She had been up all night trying to turn a snow glob into a music box that could play ‘Flank Shake.’
The door’s bell rang and a silver pony walked in. Relic perked up and stared at the colt. He stood there all prissy and so stupid looking. Relic wanted to punch him, but she couldn't. No going to jail like those stupid jack asses do says mom, she thought.
“Hello Ma’am,” he said and she nearly growled. He even talks like a priss, she thought.
“Hello Mister,” she said. “What takes you to my humble shop?” He looked at her like she had just asked him ‘Why had you killed Jim Johnson?’ She looked around. Her shop was anything but humble, broken shit laid everywhere and the modern “treasures” just sat there waiting for some priss like Mr. Monopoly Millionaire I want to kick you in the nuts type of guy.
“I would like to get a music player, something romantic for my wife,” he said. Relic smiled. She loved to mess with the upper class.
“I have the perfect thing,” she said and pointed at the crystal ball. “But it needs a little tinkering.” He nodded and left. She switched the music card to play both first the romantic stuff which will be in the shop and the second ‘Flank Shake’ .
15 minutes later she was $50 richer and happiness did not count. She was so happy she actually wanted to be in public. She looked at her schedule, today was the Star Celebration. She decided what the heck, and went out, but she didn’t know she would be meeting five other ponies who share a connection with her.
Author's Note
Hey everyone, Heather here. Okay so this is the general jist of the characters here. This is the format of the story switching characters. I would love to get some feed back on this because I'm not used to the formatting and making it flow. Thanks
