House of Pony: Season 2

Episode Sixteen: Brian's Big Secret

Shining did a good job of being a waiter at the House of Pony, everypony agrees on that. Regardless, the stallion was better off at his current job of parking job. And Shining agreed with that, since he prefers to do so and stay out of the madness that happened in the club most of the time.

Shining isn't the only staff member, enjoying what he does best. There's also Pinkie's colt-friend Brian Tenny who finds out the latest gossip and rumors. Although he did cause trouble one time because of a rumor that got misunderstood, the folks at the club enjoyed listening to what Brian has to say since the House of Pony began.

On one particular show, Brian would run into a big trouble when no new gossip is involved.

Spike smiles as he spoke to the crowd, "All right! The Alicorn with the mostest, TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"

Twilight slid on stage, smiling as she exclaims, "Hey, everyone! Me again. You know, I've heard that Divine Star and her adopted ponies were late in getting here tonight." Everyone looks at the screen as it shows Divine Star trying to get into the cart...but one of her adopted foals, Igor Tech, grins as he points to the key while laughing. "Divine Star lost her keys and took a whole hour trying to get Igor out!"

The audience laughs as the screen was turned off. Twilight smiles as she turns to the audience saying, "All right, now for the latest scoop on what ponies, Dragons, and everything else are up to in Equestria, here is the Gossip of the Day!"

"The Gossip of the Day!" Spike exclaims to the crowd. Everyone turns to Brian who waves to everyone, preparing his notes. What spicy new info that he got for everyone this time?

"Hey, everyone! Brian Tenny is here with the latest news, and do I have a lot of it today! Yeah, for our top story, there are rumors going around of a certain prince and princess going out with one another! You got it, folks!" Brian exclaims as a picture of Twilight and Ben holding hooves while kissing is seen. "Prince Ben Mare and Princess Twilight Sparkle are dating!"

Needless to say, the audience frowns and boos a bit, they've heard that before. The main couple frowns as Twilight calls out, "Brian, come on! Everyone knew that already!"

"Oh, really? Err, yeah, that's just a warm up, making sure you're listening. Now the real top story! There's a certain Pegasus pony who loses her cool over the tiniest thing! You got it, folks!" Brian exclaims as, in an effort to save his segment, points to a screen showing a ticked off Rainbow. "...Rainbow Dash got a big anger issue!"

Back at the counter, Rainbow angrily yells out, "What the hay?! I never get mad!"

"Honestly, where has Brian been?" Rarity ask dryly as she roll her eyes at this. "Ponies already knew about that."

Everyone else boos Brian some more, making Brian concerned. The crowd is getting ugly (even literally). Quickly, Brian looks through his notes for something else to get them satisfy again or his segment would be cancelled!

"Wait, how about this? There has been a word that a certain pink pony has been labeled an incurable weird mare!" Brian exclaims as he shows a picture of Pinkie, smiling silly as she is somehow tied up to a pair of skis. "Yeah, folks! Pinkie is definitely RANDOM!"

Unfortunately, folks begin booing once more, all but Pinkie who looks amazed as she is bringing dirty dishes back into the kitchens.

"Wow! I don't recall hearing that one!" Pinkie exclaims. She then yelps while slipping on a patch of spilled water on the floor, causing the pink pony to crash into the kitchen. "That was in the script, folks!"

Brian is getting more worried as the audience are booing him some more. The stallion looks through his notes, groaning in despair. Looks like Brian has used up any and all rumors that are heard already. This is not good!

"Give it up, peasant!" Blueblood calls out from his table in amusement. "Your news is older than Master Tao!"

"Ha ha ha ha! Older than Master Tao!" Laxtinct, sitting with Blazefist and Aqua, laughs like mad. However, he yelps as Master Tao whacks him on the head hard for that.

"Okay, okay, I have other news." Brian said in concern while sighing. This is it, the stallion has nothing that no pony has heard before. Looks like the time has come.

"What? Chase is really Shadow Dragon?" Blueblood jokes in amusement.

This causes Laxtinct to laugh like mad...but got hit on the head again, this time by a very annoyed Shadow Dragon who came over and does so. The Mystic Pony groans, looking at his former pal.

"All right, folks! You want some new stuff? I didn't want to do this, but now I got no choice now!" Brian exclaims in determination as he took out an envelope from...who knows where. "I have been saving this secret for the right time, but now is the time for any! Inside this envelope involves a secret that only yours truly has seen, heard and witnessed. And it involves a certain someone, a certain somewhere, and a certain something. But I will warn you: once this secret gets out, that person will never be looking at the same way again, nor will he or she will ever show up around this club ever again!"

Hearing that shut everyone else, making everyone look at each other in worry. Even Twilight and Ben are getting scared as they look at each other, backing off a bit while humming. What secret had Brian uncovered that he will expose?

Brian smirk a bit. Yeah, in reality, this is a good way to announce his retirement from the show. The gossip maker said, "But I won't tell you this secret until the end of this show! So stick around, because you don't wanna miss this!"

Brian got up, smiling. In reality for sure, it was actually an announcement that leads up to his retirement for Gossip of the Day. Of course, as far as everyone else is concern, he or she is beginning to get scared: has Brian truly found out his or her personal darkest secret?

This night is turning into a worrying one indeed.

Rarity is concerned, she must find out what Brian knows. So she goes over to Arabus in the mirror, saying, "Mirror, mirror on the wall. What's Brian's secret? Do tell all."

Arabus nods as he explains, "I see that you seek an answer, I see. I do have one, and all I can tell you is...it's not about me!"

"Right....so what's the secret?"

"I can't tell you, just wait for the end of the show, okay?"

"Ugh, you don't even know, do you?" Rarity ask Arabus with a frown. Of course, the white unicorn doesn't really need an answer to that one.

At her table, a concerned Pinkamena repeats what Brian said earlier, "'A secret involving a certain someone, a certain somewhere, and a certain something and once this secret gets out, that person will never be looking at the same way again, nor will he or she will ever show up around this club ever again'!"

"Well I have a feeling many will try to stop it from being known." Golden Heart said in suspicion.

"Indeed but anyway on with the show."

On stage, Twilight smiles as she speak, "Here's a secret that I will share with you all. Here is a top-secret cartoon!"

"Hit it, AJ!" Ben spoke in his headset, calling Applejack to start the cartoon.

In the projector room, Applejack lay back in her chair, humming as she pulls a rope, causing a stack of hay to fall from the ceiling and hit the projector. The audience applauds as the first cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A PINKIE PIE CARTOON

How To Be A Spy

Pinkie bobs her head to music at her house as she is ironing her own shirts smiling happily. Of course, had she been paying attention to her own Pinkie Senses right now, the mare would've send that someone is watching her right now for some unknown reason.

Pinkie was getting into the good song. And when the song ended, a voice came out of the radio, "Pst, he, you there! Yeah, you, the pink pony ironing your shirt!"

"Wait me?" Pinkie ask blinking. "Wow, how did..."

"...or cooking, doing dishes, or whatever it is you are doing. Ever got the feeling that you were being watched?"

"Hmm, now that you mentioned it, my Pinkie Senses are alerting me of that. Must be the readers, just natural!" Pinkie said thoughtfully but still random as ever.

"And what about your neighbor across the street? Ever get the feeling that they are out...to get YOU?"

Upon hearing that, Pinkie is beginning to get nervous before looking out the window. There's somepony across the street lifting down the shades right now. This made the pink mare more nervous. She has heard of a new neighbor that recently moved in but Pinkie hasn't visited or even threw a party for that neighbor yet! The pink pony is starting to get a little more nervous when the shade is pulled all the day down. That's the sign of something bad.

"Eeep! You may be right! So what do I do?" Pinkie ask the radio frantically.

"Simple: best to get them before they get you. Just order the brand new Hasbro Top Secret Spy Kit today! That way, you too can be a spy!" The voice on the radio suggested. Pinkie smiles, listening to the number and wrote it down before rushing to her phone to order. The pink pony must be kept safe from her secretive neighbor!

"Hello, Hasbro Company? I want a Top Secret Spy Kit send to Sugarcube Corner right now, and make it quick!"

Once Pinkie hung up, she hears a noise of Pegasus flying from above and look outside just in time to see a box falling near the door step, parachute attached. It lands outside of Sugarcube Corner before an extendable like hand came out and ring the doorbell of the place before going back in.

Mrs. Cake opens the door and sees the box. Pinkie rushes down and receives down, exclaiming, "Yay! My Top Secret Spy..." The mare yelps, she spoke too loud. Can't let anyone else. Pinkie then whispers, "My Top Secret Spy Kit has arrived. Wow, those guys are fast."

Pinkie head back to her loft home. Upon coming back, the pink pony set it down and watch as the box is opened up, revealing an earpiece within.

A voice came out of the earpiece, "Good day, Miss Pie."

Pinkie is surprised as she recognizes the voice, saying, "Wow! It's the narrator from the "How To" sketches! I didn't know you're doing this too!" The narrator coughs before speaking in a more spy-like voice.

"Ssssh. Here, my code name is Unknown, here to teach you all you must know on how to be a spy. Well, you can consider this a How to Skit too if you want."

"Cool! So what do I have to do?" Pinkie ask the narrator voice curiously and anxious to begin.

"First off, place me behind your ear."

Pinkie nods as she put the earpiece behind her, then begins to sign and relaxed.

"ALL RIGHT, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!"

The narrator spoke so loud, it causes Pinkie to bounce up high and hit the ceiling with her head. After landing, the pink pony groans, "Yep, read you loud and clear. Wow, mostly loud!"

"Sorry about that. Just making sure this thing works. First off, before we begin, put on your spy suit that is inside the spy kit."

The extendable hands pulled out a black spy suit that Pinkie took. Not like the one she wore to Canterlot one time with Twilight and Spike, but it will do nicely.

"Now, it should fit nice and snug like a bug in a rug."

Pinkie of course is having a bit of a trouble getting the suit on at first. After spinning it around randomly a few times, the mare got the suit on. She giggles, "Yep! Just like a bug in a rug all right!"

"Yes. Now then, Lesson Number One....Self-Defense. In your front pocket, try to get what looks like a pen."

Pinkie reaches into her front pocket and took out a blue pen. She ask, "So what does this..."

Without warning, when Pinkie touched the tip top of the pen, lasers came out of the pointy end, blasting all over. It hits a lamp shade, turns apples into an apple pie, and ruined a photograph of Pinkie. It took a few seconds for her to turn the thing off.

"Right; that answers that question." Pinkie said sheepishly, squeeing a bit.

"Now that you've mastered the laser pen, let's move on to Lesson Number Two...De-Bugging."

Pinkie saw her phone shaking before picking up the end...and saw cockroaches popping out. The mare screams, crushing them while screaming, "AHHHHH! BUGS IN MY PHONE, BUGS IN MY PHONE, HEEEEEELP!" Pinkie shrugs to the camera. "Now that's a joke! Hee hee! BUGS IN MY PHONE! BUGS IN MY PHONE!"

"With that lesson time, go up to the rooftop and get to work on Lesson Number Three...Infiltration!"

Pinkie didn't waste time in climbing outside and got to the rooftop. Upon arrival, the pink pony spoke up, "Okie dokie lokie, Mr. Narrator. So what now?"

"Next, pull out the grappling hook from your left hostler, then shoot it across the way to get to the house and right into the chimney."

Pinkie nods as she look around then got to work. The pink pony decided to tie her end to the other house’s roof's satellite dish, which succeeded. The pink pony grins as she got on the rope and begins getting across, which ends up lowering the mare right to the road. As she walks on, Pinkie hears a truck coming over, long enough for it to run her down like a bug!

Pinkie was send flying right off towards the railroad tracks very fast, causing her to land on a running train. The pink pony kept on bouncing, knowing that the train will run out of cars soon. Upon spotting a nearby news helicopter, Pinkie uses her grappling hook to attach to the bottom rim, taking her off the trains and far beyond the sky.

As Pinkie looks down, she yelps as a huge plane knock her over, causing the Earth Pony to end up clinging to the wheel. Pinkie does her best to hang on, only to slip, sending her screaming towards the Earth. Luckily for Pinkie, she landed right down the chimney, right into the house of her neighbor.

As she recovers, Pinkie held a cool spy pose. That was silly, but it worked!

"Infiltration is done! Now open up your secret spy briefcase."

"Wait, what?" Pinkie ask a bit confused upon hearing that.

"What? You mean you didn't bring it with you?"

"Nope! I guess I didn't know that. I think I better go back and get it and be really quick!" Pinkie exclaims embarrassedly. No one told her to bring her briefcase along! "Luckily, Sugarcube Corner is across from here."

"Well, fine. But do it sneaky like!"

Pinkie unlocks the door and quietly sneak across the street (quiet bouncing) and got back into Sugarcube Corner. Mr. and Mrs. Cake chose not to quiet why she's wearing a spy suit (they got used to her randomness a long time ago). Pinkie head back to her loft and came back to the other house with the briefcase.

"Okay, got it now!" Pinkie spoke to the narrator happily.

"All right. Now we move on to Lesson Number...Sneaking Around. A good spy must sneak around so to avoid making as much noise as possible."

Pinkie did not waste time in shushing the earpiece. The mare then sneaks around the couch, entering the room. Of course, although no one knew what's going on, the mare was heard screaming as stuff breaks and smashed like mad. Pinkie is send back towards the couch, falling over silly-like.

"Great job! Now no one will ever know that you were there!"

"Not sure about that, considering the damage to the other room." Pinkie said in concern as she bounces over to a door that is locked nearby.

"Now for Lesson Number Five...Cracking Locks. For this one, get out the secret spy door opener."

Pinkie nods as she took the item out: a credit card. The pink pony spoke, "Wow! I didn't know credit cards are unlocking tools!"

"Yes, they are. Now carefully slide the credit card into the crack of the door."

Pinkie nods as she does while she was told. To the mare's surprise, a price tag came out of the locker, making her take it. The pink pony, reading it, protest, "75 bits for unlocking a door?! That's crazy, even for me!"

Suddenly, Pinkie heard the entrance door being shaken, making her turn and gasps as a shadowy figure is about to come in. Her neighbor is back! Quickly, the pony rush behind the chair to hide.

"Err, Mr. Narrator? Unknown? What now?" Pinkie ask the narrator nervously. She is trapped in the den of the lion, so to speak.

"Right. Next up, Lesson Number Six...Camouflage. Quick, press the automatic disguise feature that is on your spy wristband!"

Pinkie found the wristband and press a button on it. A flash of light later and the pink pony is in a chicken costume. Pinkie yelps as she changes again, this time into a newspaper vendor, a tragic light, and then a flower. Pinkie chose to stay as a flower as the figure pass by her, she didn't get a good look at its face.

Amazingly, the figure didn't seem to notice Pinkie. So when it's safe, Pinkie didn't waste time in changing back to normal (or what's close to it anyway) and rush upstairs. The pinky rushes into a random room and looks around in shock.

Inside the room are pictures of Pinkie, scattered around, like a heart shrine, a good statue, books, all over. What the Element of Laughter saw that really concerns her are the words written in green paint on the end of the wall: "Get Pinkie Pie".

"Eeep! Yikes!" Pinkie exclaims nervously. "My Pinkie Senses should've warned me about this. Some pony is out to get me...and like a stalker!"

"Hey, hello?" A voice calls out, making Pinkie yelp. "Who's up there?"

"Mr. Narrator, my stalker is coming! What do I do?!"

"Don't panic. Now for Lesson Number Seven which is Self-Defense...again. In the likely event of somepony sneaking up on you, remove the knock out gas umbrella from your left high pocket."

Pinkie didn't waste time as she digs around...her rocket pocket. The pony took out a tennis racket, an according, a cuckoo clock, a blender, a jackhammer, cactus, bicycle, etc. Where is that umbrella???

"Uh, Pinkie? I said LEFT high pocket, not your RIGHT!"

"Oopsie!" Pinkie exclaims embarrassedly. She search her left thigh pocket and found the umbrella.

"Next, open the umbrella so you can release a stunning cloud of knock-out gas, and quickly!"

Pinkie didn't waste time as she opens the umbrella. However, the knock out gas was released on her, causing the pony to cough like mad and sending her stumbling out of the room.

As Pinkie fell down the stairs, someone is waiting at the edge of the steps...listening to an earpiece of her own but in another voice.

"Now for Lesson Number Eight. To get the new perfect filly friend, wait until she opened that silly umbrella and gassed herself, then wait patiently at the bottom of the steps."

Pinkie fell down the stairs and lands at the bottom. As she looks up, the pony looks surprised as she saw a smiling Brian, asking, "Hey, Pinks, how are ya?"

"Wait, Brian?" Pinkie ask confused. She broke into Brian's house?

"Yep! Got ya at last!"

"Good, now that conclude your Hasbro's 'Catch a Filly' course!"

"Wow, I thought you were a spy for a moment!" Pinkie exclaims as Brian help her out.

"Well, to be honest, I had arranged this whole thing the whole time after getting the Catch a Filly kit! I quickly use a radio to transmit a message to yours so you will think somepony is spying on ya, making you go after that spy kit, then I wait for everything to run its course." Brian explains proudly to Pinkie that he arranged for the events of the short to happen to get her. "I of course had to move right across from you to make it work."

"Wow! I didn't even realize that until now! A good ending and a twist!"

"Sure, so want some dinner?"

"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie exclaims as she claps her hooves in delight. A weird twist ending but it worked!

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon's over, the audience applauds eagerly. Again, a good one.

Twilight gives the stage to Luna's Shadowbolts (AKA the prime CMC) before heading backstage. At her table, Pinkamena in concern spoke to Golden Heart, "Well I am getting some sensing feeling that many will be spitting out their Darkest Secrets to Brian to make him hush but I have a feeling something surprising and shocking will happen."

"Well we will have to wait and see, sister." Golden Heart said in agreement and concern.

Twilight nervously trots over to Brian's dressing room door. She got a suspicion as to what the big secret is and it makes her worry. After taking a deep breath, the mare knocks on the door, calling, "Brian? You in there?"

Brian opens the door, blinking as he ask, "Yeah, what is it Twilight?"

"Listen, I wish to talk to you for a minute."

"Sure, okay, come on in."

Brian lets Twilight into the dressing room. As he sat down, the Alicorn nervously spoke, "Yeah, I want to speak to you about your big secret....and please be honest with me." Twilight take a deep breath. "It's about me, right?"

"About you?" Brian ask confused upon hearing that.

"Gah! I knew it, I knew someone else would figure it out! Please, I will explain! I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't help it! Shadow Dragon was so handsome, even when he was a bad guy in JusSonic's universe, but he was a nice guy in Power Master's! I can't help but have a crush on him!"

Brian's eyes widen in surprise and interest. Twilight has a crush on Shadow Dragon, the Power Master version? Really? Out of interest, he took out a notepad and paper, this sounds like news.

"Say, mind giving me more info on this crush of yours?" Brian ask Twilight curiously. "That way, I can have a glimpse on the full story once the big secret comes out."

""Okay, fine. I will give you the details from the beginning." Twilight sighs a bit. Brian nods, giving a secret smile as he wrote this stuff down. The Earth Pony never knew this about this friend until now.

Boy, is this day starting to get interesting!

A while later, Brian looks over his notes involving Twilight with a smile of interest. As he came over to Ben, the son of Celestia sighs, groaning, "Listen, Brian! I know about your big secret...it's about me! But I can explain!"

"Wait, you can?" Brian ask in confusion. First Twilight thinks the reason is about her, now Ben about him?

"This red bow I am wearing...it isn't my original one! You must've known about it the whole time!"

"Wait, I did? Wait...yeah, I did!"

"I knew it! But I can explained! The red bow that Twilight gave me was destroyed a long time ago, so I brought and replaced it to avoid fearing her temper, especially since Season 4, Episode 23 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic!" Ben explains frantically to Brian. "I didn't want her to know, Twilight will kill me if she finds out! You understand, right?"

"Well, how about giving me the whole story?" Brian ask with a devilish hidden smirk. "Hey, if you're lucky, I may change my mind and whole reveal...that big secret."

"Okay, the whole story..."

Brian chuckles as he writes down what Ben's doing. Hearing that gave him an idea. Perhaps the gossip maker can go around everyone else, letting them think that the big secret was about them, getting those ponies or whatever to give out their big secret! This is going to be so much fun!

At the corner near the entrance, Brian look amazed at a shameful Rainbow while asking, "Wait, your parents are still alive?"

"Yeah, here's my last family reunion photo." Rainbow said shamefully as she took out a photo of herself, wearing a disgust, and her parents, who are still alive. "I only claimed that my parents are dead because I ran away from home from the same time I dropped out of flight camp. They were ashamed of me and I didn't want to upset them further. I came back often to visit in disguise so they never knew I was there, but I only told ponies and folks that they're dead, even my adopted father didn't know! It's terrible, I know!"

"So you're a dropped out juvenile Pegasus pony who is a runaway, right?"

"Yes!"

"Wow, makes me not look at ya the same way again!" Brian exclaims with a surprised smile on his face. "This is certainly juicy, Dashie!"

"Don't tell any pony! I still haven't gotten over what happened with the Gabby Gums incident!" Rainbow begs Brian frantically. "Don't tell, or I will be humiliated again!"

Pinkie wanted Brian to talk with her in the freezer to discuss something private. After looking around, the pink pony whispers, "Okie dokie lokie. Safe to talk here. What I'm gonna tell you doesn't involve Rainbow's runaway problems or Twilight's crush on the other Shadow Dragon."

"Wait, you knew about that?" Brian ask Pinkie in surprise.

"Yep! I'm the only one who knows. I may be random but I ain't dumb! But here is the real secret..."

"Yeah?"

"....that I really am random!" Pinkie announces. Brian looks unamused then trots off. "Wait, I can prove it!"

Pinkie tries to run after her col-friend only to slip and fell onto the icy floor. She knew that would happen.

Brian is now talking with Boris who sighs, "Listen, it's true. I...actually got a crush on Trixie Lulamoon all along! But I cover it up by lusting after Twilight Sparkle!"

Brian is now talking with rocker Knight Shade who is sobbing, "The truth is, I am not a good singer! My voice was dubbed all the time thanks to my dealings with Arabus and Zeb! I am a big fat fraud!"

Brian is now speaking with Grogar who groans, "The truth...I'm scared of the dark! Happy?! There, I said it!"

Brian is now speaking with the JusSonic's version of Nyx. He wrote down while the filly said with a groan, "All right, I admit. I got a crush on Sammy Starburst, despite liking Pipsqueak and even though we both are cousins."

Spike looks around nervously as he admits to the interested Brian, "I was eating bugs even since the coming soon Light and Shadow Unite story. Not a word, please, even to Rarity!"

"Shoot, Ah done wanted 'ta be a part o' high class since Season 4." Applejack admits shamefully to Brianw ho looks amazed.

"I wanted to be a vampire for good since Season 4." Fluttershy said, hiding herself behind her mane as she admits this shameful to Brian. "Oh my..."

"We accidentally posted embarrassed videos o' all ponies by 'de' name o' Bad Girls 2." Apple Bloom said to Brian who is interviewing her, Sweetie and Scootaloo.

"Oh, that was the most terrible thing we did!" Sweetie sobs as Scootaloo hugs her in comfort.

"Don't tell Blazefist or Aqua this...but I accidentally burnt Blazefist's valentine present for Aquastroke!" Laxtinct admits to Brian in sadness and regret as he wrote this secret down.

"Don't you mean "Hearts and Hooves Day"?" Brian ask, arching an eyebrow at this.

"Yes, but don't tell, please!"

"The truth is...I am gay." Leonardo Da Vinci admits to Brian with a groan.

"Well, duh! Why can't you be happy?" Brian ask Leonardo, comically missing the point.

"I hate myself and D.J. Derrick for making me worse and cannot compare to my other counterparts from G1, Movie, Video Game and Prime." Bumblebee, the Animated version, admits in shame to the amazed Brian who wrote that secret down. Wow, what a lot of info!

"I can talk normal, I only said my name just to be funny." Grunt spoke normally like Vin Diesel. Brian look shocked and amazed to hear him talk for the first time ever!

"Oh, we are actually smarter than we look." Boxco admits sheepishly to Brian who listens to him and Dum-Dum. "We only pretend to be dumb just to make our boss look good."

"Oh, for the record, we also know of his crush on Trixie!" Dum-Dum admits proudly to Brian. "He got pictures of her in his room."

"Oh! I don't really loathe mud! I like playing with it since Sweetie Belle invited me for the Sisterhooves Social one time! Don't let anyone know! Oh, the embarrassment!" Rarity sobs as she faints on her drama couch.

Brian chuckles, shaking his head. Wow, what a drama queen.

"My secret?" Judge Frodyn ask Brian with a concerned look on his face. "Fine...I have some sort of respect for earth ponies...only a little."

"I don't mind being small." Lorcan admits his secret to Brian. His eyes widen as he ask in shock, "What am I saying?!"

"This coat? Ain't mine!" Roclan admits as he smirks wickedly while motioning to his own coat.

Hearing that, Brian uneasily backs away and gallops off. He doesn’t want to know what Roclan even meant by that!

Brian next is interviewing Shadow Dragon the P.M. good version. He spoke, "I don't have any secrets, but I know that you got something bigger than everyone else. Don't take advantage of ponies' fears or you will get into trouble."

"Yeah, sure." Brian chuckles while rolling his eyes. Like he would do that!

Angel meanwhile was making gestures to Brian, telling him what his secret is. The stallion yelps as he said to the camera, "Whoa! I don't think I can print that, especially in how he said it!"

"Wow, what a great day we're having!" Brian exclaims, checking his notepad as Twilight's family saw him walk past. "I betcha you all can't wait until the big secret comes out."

"Yeah...we can hardly wait." Twilight said nervously with a smile while the others smile while looking nervously. Hoo boy.

Brian is in his chair onstage, speaking, "Remember, folks! Coming soon, I will tell you the biggest secret in Equestria, so make sure to stay where you are!"

"No worries, Brian, no one will miss that!" Twilight exclaims with a smile. Of course, she is really worried and wanted to leave the club right now. The mare turn to the audience, trying not to show her worry, "And make sure you folks don't go anywhere for this final cartoon of the night!"

The audience applauds as the final cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS…

A BIG MACINTOSH STORY

Double Date Big Mac

It was another day in Ponyville. Cheerilee was humming lovingly as she combs her mane while looking at the calendar. The mare can't believe that today is here.

"Hearts and Hooves Day! I cannot believe it, it's here already!" Cheerilee exclaims. She smiles while looking at a photo of her colt friend Big Macintosh. The mare sighs lovingly before kissing the photo. "I wonder if Big Mac got something special planned today..."

As if on cue, Cheerilee hears the doorbell rang, Big Macintosh is here! The teacher opens the door and gave a smile, seeing her love in a red suit and straw hat, with a big box in his mouth.

"Happy Hearts and Hooves Days, Cheerilee!" Big Macintosh said, his voice muffles due to the candy in his mouth.

"Awww, looks like a certain somepony has drank the love poison again." Cheerilee giggles, amused by Big Macintosh's clothes. The mare spares the present and grabs it. "For me? You shouldn't have!"

Cheerilee anxiously opens the gift and pulls out...a piece of paper. The female Earth pony frowns as she looks in the box, is there anything else in there?

"Wow, you really shouldn't have." Cheerilee remarks with a frown. The mare looks at the note then opens it before she began to read the note itself. "'This coupon entitles Miss Cheerilee to order Big Macintosh to do anything she wants on Hearts and Hooves Day'. Wait, you're my gift?"

"Eyup!" Big Macintosh exclaims proudly, lifting the straw hat that he's wearing to show a big bow around his head. The Earth pony is also wearing a gift tag labeled 'To Cheerilee' on it. "You got it."

"Wow! So you would so anything I want? Really?"

"Eeyup! Anything!"

Big Macintosh grins as he begins to fantasize...

Fantasy Sequence

Big Macintosh sighs as he sat in a hot tub. Cheerilee nuzzles near him as the two lovers drink lemonade. This is a lovely time!"

End Dream Sequence

"In fact, I know what I want from you!" Cheerilee exclaims as Big Macintosh came over. "You see, I want you...to build me a brick wall right around my house!"

"Eey...wait, what?" Big Macintosh ask confused. His eyes widened as Cheerilee gave him a few bricks, lots of them. "A brick wall? Uh, what do you need one for?"

"Nameless for privacy. Not against the Cutie Mark Crusaders, no, those dears has learned their lesson about invading privacy. I was referring to a new next door neighbor named Lemony Gems who moved here from Canterlot! I don't want to be mean but I rather she doesn't spy on what I'm doing. Best to be safe than sorry!"

"Wait, no hot tub?"

"Well, you can always make one for me next year. For today, I rather have a brick fence." Cheerilee said with a smile to her big colt friend.

"But...but..." Big Macintosh begins to protest in concern. When he said "anything", the big pony was hoping for a "hot tub"!

"Well, you did say anything, right?" Cheerilee ask while giving Big Macintosh a brick laying tool, putting it into his mouth.

Big Macintosh groans at this. Perhaps he should've been more specific!

Big Macintosh was muttering with pulling a wheelbarrow to transport bricks. This isn't how he wanted to spend Hearts and Hooves Day at all!

"Nnope, not what I have in mind at all!" Big Macintosh groans in despair. His sister and her friends get to spend romantic time with their special somepony. Him? He has to spend it doing brick wall work!

Now unknown at this point, Lemony Gems is inside her new home, looking sad. She is looking at a picture of Buck Withers, her special somepony...whom she broke up with.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Buck. Why did I have that stupid argument with you? I thought we would be together after Cadance was won by Shining. Now I am colt friendless and right on Hearts and Hooves Day too. What do I do now?" Lemony Gems ask, sobbing a bit. Suddenly the mare hears grunting from her window. "And who's grunting?"

Lemony took a look out the window...and her heart pounds as she saw Big Macintosh, carrying a bag of cement. It's like her prayers has been answered for a new love!

"Wow...that handsome stallion. He looks so...strong." Lemony Gems said with a lovingly sigh. Big Macintosh held a cement over his head...only for it to fell right on it, knocking the stallion to the ground. "...so incredibly handsome...." The mare sighs happily as Big Macintosh got up with a dizzy look on his face. "...as well as being so...graceful..."

Big Macintosh yelps in alarm as he steps on a rake, causing the wooden part to hits him on the head. Lemony Gems, not noticing, sighs happily, “…he is so calm..." The farmer pony groans as he hits the bag of cement on the ground, but yelps as he hurts his hoof, causing him to jump up and down. "And there isn't anything to bother him! Wow, that new guy is incredible cute. Wow...I think I'm...in love again!"

Big Macintosh manages to calm down as he got into the job of setting up the brick fence. The Earth Pony is still upset that Cheerilee would rather that he work than to love on a special day. Yeah, Big Macintosh doesn't mind working since he does it all the time at Sweet Apple Acres, but come on!

"Hey there, big stallion." A voice spoke. Big Macintosh turns, seeing Lemony leaning towards the brick fence. Must be Cheerilee's new neighbor.

"Uh, hello? Mind not leaning there? Got some bricks to set up here." Big Macintosh said with a frown to Lemony Gems.

"Oh, it's okay. I'm Lemony Gems. What is your name?"

"Sorry, can't talk, busy!"

Big Macintosh pushes Lemony Gems off the brick wall and build it up very fast. The Earth Pony begins building the brick wall faster, Lemony Gems kept showing up, doing seductive poses but Big Macintosh kept blocking her off by a brick wall, a brick well or a brick jail cell, each one Big Macintosh built a part just to keep her away.

Soon one section of the brick wall is built, making Big Macintosh sigh. But then a brick pops out, making him yelp, "Nnope!"

The stallion put the brick back into place, only for another brick to come out. He frowns before putting that brick in, only for another brick to pops out. Big Macintosh groans as he put the brick into that spot. This goes on for a couple of minutes while putting the bricks that kept popping out.

"Eeyup, there we go!" Big Macintosh exclaims in satisfaction, only for the brick up front to pop out once more. "Nope!" Big Macintosh climbs up the wall to peep in the new hole, trying to figure out what kept causing all those bricks to keep popping out. "Huh?"

Big Macintosh's eyes widen in shock as he saw Lemony Gem in a sexy, green outfit. The Earth Pony shook his head in disbelief. If he doesn't know any better....

"BIG MACINTOSH!" Cheerilee is heard yelling, making Big Macintosh yelps as he turns to see her coming by with a pitcher of lemonade and a glass. She wants to stop by to see how he's doing and is even giving him something to drink. With a frown, Cheerilee snaps, "I'm going to give you a glass of lemonade to drink and now what I see? You're being a peeping pony?!"

"Nnope, I ain't! I can explain!" Big Macintosh protests in concern. Cheerilee is misunderstanding what's going on.

"Is that so? Well go ahead..."

"Uh, a brick fell out and...and...aww shucks, why bother?"

Cheerilee shakes her head in annoyance as she put down the lemonade, the mare put the brick back into place before marching off with an hmph. The nerve of him! The big stallion groans a bit.

"Hey, your name is Big Macintosh?" Lemony Gems ask lovingly while peeking out from over the brick wall.

"Nnope, please leave!" Big Macintosh snaps impatiently, forcing Lemony Gem to duck out of sight. That mare is getting on his nerves!

After a while of drinking lemonade, Big Macintosh was back to work on the brick wall, hoping not to get into any more trouble this time.

Of course, Big Macintosh bumps into Lemony Gem who smiles while exclaiming, "Hey there Big Mac!' This impact startled Big Macintosh that he accidentally bumps into a bucket of wet cement that his legs stepped in and the cement dried up at once.

"Huh? Oh great!" Big Macintosh groans, trying his best to get his feet out. They won't do and worst, Lemony Gems grabs him while grinning.

"Well, well, how romantic. Us holding one another."

"Nnope! You're the one who..."

"BIG MACINTOSH!" The furious voice of Cheerilee exclaims. Big Macintosh yelps as he and Lemony Gems saw her with a sandwich on her bag, giving an angry look at her lover. "Unbelievable! Here I am, about to give you some lunch and you're holding her?! Is this what I think I'm thinking?!"

"Wait, Cheerilee! This was her doing, an accident!" Big Macintosh protests frantically. Unfortunately, the teacher threw the sandwich, plate and all, into his face, causing the plate to break. After spitting the food out, Big Macintosh continues, "Nnope! Allow me to explain!"

"Ugh! You know, I'm too angry right now! I will come back when I'm calm down, mister!"

With that said, Cheerilee storms off once more, making Big Macintosh groans. This is the second time she thinks the wrong thing! What else can go wrong today?

"Hey, Big Mac." Lemony Gems spoke seductively to Big Macintosh, making him frown.

"What now?" Big Macintosh ask as he turns...and saw Lemony Gems in a mariachi outfit. "What?!"

"Time to dance!"

Big Macintosh screams in terror, not again! He hops away (due to his legs still being stuck in the bucket) with Lemony Gems chasing him. The stallion dives into a bush, but the mare is there waiting for him as Big Macintosh lands on her. Lemony Gems about to kiss her, but the farmer pony got out of her hold, pushed the crazy mare down and closes the bush up, putting a padlock on it before hopping away like mad.

However, Lemony Gems manages to dig her way out and follows Big Macintosh who hid behind a flower ladder. She lifts it up to reveal him giving a sheepish smile as he held a flower...then hops off, leaving the flower in midair for Lemony Gems to grab. For her? He shouldn't have!

Big Macintosh frantically hops past the wheelbarrow of bricks as his mad pursuer jumps and hops over the handles before tipping the wheelbarrow over. This causes the brick to go flying into the air and end up building a good brick wall that the stallion crashes into. He fell back right into the waiting upper forearms of Lemony Arms. She smiles happily as Lemony Gems begins dancing with him, causing Big Macintosh to stare helplessly.

Worst yet, as Lemony Gems dips Big Macintosh, he saw an angry Cheerilee who snaps, "Big Macintosh! How come you never take me dancing?! I can't...UGH!"

Cheerilee gallops back into the hous while sobbing. Big Macintosh escapes Lemony Gems's hold as he hops over, protesting, "Cheerilee wait! I can really explain this time!"

It was a moment later as Lemony Gems paces, groaning, "Looks like I am destined to be alone. That Big Mac is getting hard to get..." The mare then gave a smile of determination. "But I won't give up just yet. There's always more than one way to win a stallion's heart, even through the trickiest ways!"

Big Macintosh manages to get out of his cement prison a few minutes later as he got back to work on setting up more bricks. Hopefully the stallion will never deal with Lemony Gems again!

That is until Big Macintosh look up to see her holding a bunch of bricks with her magic...which she seems to tied herself to...and is standing right near a big lake! The mare cries out with a sniffled, "Oh, I can't take it anymore! Farewell, cruel and ruthless Equestria!"

Lemony Gems is about to throw the bricks, along herself into the lake. Big Macintosh screams in terror, "Nope, no!"

Lemony Gems proceeds in the task at hand, smirking eagerly. She knew that Big Macintosh will have to dive in to save her. Of course, the big stallion did succeed in doing so, but only because he is saving the bricks while getting them back to shore, along with the wet mare.

"Phew, almost lost my bricks." Big Macintosh said with a sigh. The stallion needed them to get the brick wall done.

"Big Mac, you saved me! Kiss me!" Lemony Gems exclaims lovingly as she grabs Big Macintosh and forces a kiss on him, making him stare in shock.

Once Lemony Gems lets go, Big Macintosh groans as he turns, confronting a very angry Cheerilee who saw what happened. The female Earth Pony snaps, "That's it! No more! It's over!"

Cheerilee walks off, outraged that her belovable would even do this to her! Big Macintosh fell down, begging, "Cheerilee, wait! Nnope, not what it looks like!"

"I should've known you were seeing another mare and on Hearts and Hooves Day too!"

Big Macintosh got up, rushing after Cheerilee, only for her to slam the door into his face sending the big guy right into the upper forelegs of Lemony Gems who smiles eagerly. This is it, she was wanting this for a LONG time (or throughout this cartoon).

"Big Mac, I know we only met for an hour, but want to get married?" Lemony Gems ask Big Macintosh lovingly.

"Okay, okay! You can have anything, just leave me alone!" Big Macintosh exclaims frantically, freaking out. It seems like this crazy mare won't leave him alone unless he gives in!

"Yeah, I knew it!"

Lemony Gems eagerly drags the upset Big Macintosh as she takes him to get into some wedding clothes then the two reached a preacher. Big Macintosh is unhappy. This isn't what he meant by "leaving him alone"!

"Do you, Lemony Gems, promise to love Big Mac, cherish him, and keep your hooves off his bricks?" The preacher asked Lemony Gems.

"Yes, I do!" Lemony Gems exclaims eagerly.

"All right, I now pronounce you..."

"Wait! Stop the wedding that got set up in my backyard!" A familiar voice protests in alarm. "I object!"

"Me too!" Another voice spoke up in alarm. Lemony Gems turns to see two ponies coming up. One of them was Cheerilee who grabs Big Macintosh. And the other one was a stallion that she never thought to see again.

"Buck?" Lemony Gems gasped upon seeing Buck Withers again. "I thought you said you would never wanted to see me again!"

"I'm sorry! I was upset over losing a bowling game at the time! I should've have taken my anger out on you, you didn't deserve my anger! Please I'm sorry! Forgive me!" Buck Withers exclaims, pleading with his love to forgive him for his mistake. Lemony Gems giggles as she hugs the former jock from Shining's school days.

"Oh, Buck! How can I still be angry with you after you're willing to apologize? I forgive you and I'm sorry!"

"Luckily, Cheerilee attended our school and told me the whole thing. I forgive ya, so want to be my special somepony again?"

"Do you need to ask?" Lemony Gems ask happily as she and Buck hold hooves while heading off. "Weird, this isn't happened to Clara in the actual cartoon."

"Who cares? Every pony, even a crazy one, deserves a happy ending." Buck said with a smirk to his beloved.

"Big Mac, I'm sorry! You aren't a jerk, I was a jerk!" Cheerilee sobs, feeling bad for misunderstanding what was going on. "I forced you to work on that stupid brick fence which caused you to end up in Lemony Gems's hooves in the first place!"

"Err..." Big Macintosh said awkwardly. May as well play along with it. "Eeyup!"

"I'm really sorry, Big Mac. I will do anything to make it up to you!"

"Anything?"

"Yes, anything." Cheerilee said with a smile, making Big Macintosh grins thoughtfully. For a moment, the stallion thought of having a hot tub to himself and forced her to work on the brick wall herself, ordering and making her regret what he had to go through.

Then again, Big Mac isn't going to do that, so he got a better idea.

It was a while later, Cheerilee relax in the hot tub as Big Macintosh held her; both of them are enjoying some lemonade.

"Eeyup, this is what I wanted us to do all day!" Big Macintosh exclaims with a smile. "Best Hearts and Hooves Day ever!"

"I know. Makes me want to think of it sooner." Cheerilee giggles as Big Macintosh finishes his glass up.

"Mind I get us a refill, or would you rather you yourself do it?"

"Let me. I still got a lot of sorries to give out here!"

Cheerilee takes Big Macintosh's glass and the empty pitcher, heading out to fill both up with more lemonade. Big Macintosh himself sighs as she relaxes. Happy Hearts and Hooves Day indeed!

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the story is over, the audience applauds once more. What a great one!

Ben hums, checking the schedule in the backstage area. Twilight, with a nervous look, came over, speaking, "Hey there, Ben. Say...I saw you talking with Brian earlier. Err, you didn't mention, by any chance my little secret...about the whole..."

Twilight motions to Shadow Dragon in the crowd, much to Ben's notice. The stallion smiles as he spoke, "Relax. I would never tell Brian about your secret crush on Shadow Dragon, just as I would never mention anything about the fact that this red bow I'm wearing isn't the one you gave me....OOPS!"

"What, wait?!"

"Err, did I say 'red bow'? I mean 'bug spray', to keep the bug off of me."

"Oh, okay, good. For a moment, I thought you said 'red bow'." Twilight said with a sigh while leaving. "I would've been ticked if I found out that you lost the red bow I gave you when we were little."

"Right, yeah..." Ben said with a sigh. "Man, I better stop Brian before he finishes everything."

Rarity is at the magic mirror again, frowning as she demands, "Hey, Arabus! For goodness sake. What is the secret already?!'

"i told you, I don't know it, now will you leave me alone?!" Arabua snaps in irritation at the pestering white unicorn. Will she give it a rest for now?

Ben uses his Triforce magic to push the snack machine in front of Brian's dressing room. He sighs, "Phew. Hopefully that is enough to stop Brian from spilling my secret! Twilight will never know."

But to Ben's surprise, the snack machine door is opened, revealing Brian who walked out with a candy bar. He smiles, "Hey, Benny! I'm heading out to reveal the Big Secret! Thanks for the snack!"

"Yeah, no problem...don't let me stop you."

As Brian prepares to head to the stage, Twilight calls out to him, "Hey, Brian! Someone is here to see you?"

Brian turns as Twilight grins with Nyx points to Pinkie in a cute dress, posing sexily. Nyx calls out, "Auntie Pinkie Pie wants to see ya!"

"Oh, yeah!" Brian exclaims with a drool from his mouth.

Twilight uses her magic to drag the wagon with Pinkie inside right outside of the club, causing the drooling Brian to follow. Once the stallion is outside, the princess run back inside, closing the doors and hammers it up.

"There, Brian won't give out any tales tonight!" Twilight exclaims with an eager smile while Nyx sighs in relief.

Suddenly the music for Brian's 'Gossip of the Day' begins to play...causing Brian to slams the door open on Twilight, exclaiming, "Oh yeah, my cue!"

Nyx gulps as Brian rushes to the stage eagerly, while Twilight faints. Looks like nothing will stop him from giving out any secrets!

"It is almost time for the Secret to be revealed; be ready." Pinkamen said with a nod to Golden Heart, getting concerned for the chaos that will occur.

"I will sister, I know you’re ready." Golden Heart said in concern to Pinkamena.

"Yep."

"All right, folks, here is our big gossip maker back to tell us the big secret!" Spike exclaims nervously as everyone applauds, they are nervous, fearing that Brian is about to tell a secret that could ruin them forever.

Brian, back on stage, grins as he spoke, "Hey there, everyone! All right, now this secret is sooooo big and sooooo secret that no pony will EVER work in this town again! And..." The stallion is excited, he got so many secrets that everyone else gave him, he cannot decide which one to use.

Brian stops as he saw the audience huddling. They are scared for the first time in their lives, even the bad guys are terrified. Grogar is hiding under the table. Pinkie, Boris and Knightshade are watching nervously, preparing for the worst. Spike is chewing his nails, Applejack felt terrified, Fluttershy was hiding in shame behind her wings, the Cutie Mark Crusaders look sad as they prepare to pack wanting to leave, Laxtinct looks nervous at Blazefist and Aqua. Leonardo, Bumblebee, Grunt, Boxco, and Dum looks on in fright.

Brian looks to the backstage, seeing Ben holding himself in shame while Nyx looks a bit shameful, wanting to be elsewhere. At the entrance, Rainbow was getting nervous at the secret that Brian is about to expose, as if Rarity who feels like she wants to faint again. And finally, Brian saw Twilight who is shaking nervously.

Brian looks concerned, almost everyone in this club this that the big secret he spoke of is about one of them. The stallions looks at the good Shadow Dragon who looks on as if saying "Do the right thing".

Brian sighs. He know what he must do now.

"All right, the big secret is that..." Brian said. He then groans and then rips up his envelope in his hooves. "...that I'm quitting the Gossip of Day segment and quitting the House of Pony for good! Someone else can find the good rumors from now on!"

Most of everyone gasps in, Zecora gasps, "Huh. Now that is something I didn't see coming."

Shadow Dragon, the P.M. good version, on the other hoof just smile. He knew Brian would do the right thing.

"Yeah, you heard right. There isn't any good rumors or secrets anymore, not a single one all over." Brian said with a sigh of regret. "I don't want to disappoint anyone anymore...so the one pony who would never work in this town again...will be me."

Everyone sighs in relief, their secret was safe. Even Twilight, Ben and Nyx was happy that Brian won't expose them. Grogar sighs with most of everyone in the audience. Pinkie, Boris, Knightshade, along with everyone else that Brian talked to tonight are sighing.

At the entrance, Rainbow sighs in relief, knowing that her secret was safe. But then everyone heard Rarity calling out, "Aww, darling! Don't quit now! We love hearing your gossip! You're the best gossiper in Equestria!"

"Gah!" Rainbow yelps as she covers Rarity's mouth. "Quiet, Rarity!"

Unfortunately, Brian heard what Rarity said, smiling as he hold up a book, saying, "Oh, good thing you said that! Because thanks to tonight, I just got some new rumors and gossip I wanted to speak about, and they're all real too! Heck, I got so many gossip from everyone that I decided to write a book about it!"

Shadow Dragon just slaps himself while Twilight and Ben fainted, groaning in disbelief. This just isn't their night!

Today's show is almost over. Pinkamema spoke, "Well that was surprising."

"Indeed but it is about time things are wrapped up." Golden Heart said as she nods.

"Well, thanks for being here, folks! Sorry that the gossip of the day was lousy. But as they say in the news worlds, 'no news is good news'." Twilight said, giving out a wink to the audience. "Right, Brian?"

"Sure is, Twiley!" Brian exclaims while sitting next to Twilight. "BTW, I hope Shadow Dragon don't mind the special gift that you gave him. Wink!"

"Ugh, right. Okay, Spike, how about taking us out of here?"

Spike appears, saying, "Non-stop gossip for the House of Pony has been provided by..."

"Brian's Tales of Equestria! 1001 Tasty Bits to Speak About!"

We see a still of Brian's new book that has the stallion on the cover smirk with question marks floating around him. Now we see a still of Twilight admiring a big photo of Shadow Dragon in secret.

"Find out the shocking secret of Twilight's other crush involving the other version of a well-known Dark Mystic Pony!"

We see Ben looking around nervous as he buys a bow tie that looks like his original from a store.

"What's this? Hoo boy. Why is Ben getting another bow tie that looks like the one Twilight has brought him?"

We see Rainbow, in disguise, at a family reunion with her parents, unknown to them!

"Also, read about the truth involving Rainbow Dash's parents who seem to have come back to life!"

We now see a still of Spike...eating bugs for some reason with the P.M. version of himself and the Drake Trio.

"Oh! That's me eating bugs with my P.M.'s Version and Drake Trio. That was a great time." Spike's voice then became shock and fearful. "Wait a minute?! Me eating bugs?! Hey! Who put that picture up on that?! BRIAN!!! Darn you! I told you not to show about this!"

The promotion ends with the book with Brian's face on it once more.

"Grrr! Get all the tasty snacks on Brian's Tales of Equestria!" Spike's voice now spoke in a low angry voice. "But secrets may be subject to baseless rumors, now if you excuse me..."

"Well, that's all for today so see you soon. And remember, folks..." Twilight said to the audience who applauds. The mare glares at Brian, tied up, bounded and gagged by the upset Spike, Ben, Nyx and Phobos. "...mum is the word, got it?"

Brian groans a bit. Perhaps from now on, he take a page from one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders' past mistakes: respect ponies and folks' privacy, and keep his big mouth shut!

House of Pony: Season 2

Episode Seventeen: The Band Who Comes to Dinner

After the last show, Brian is going to focus on the Gossip of the Day segments once in a while (or until everyone calms down from him putting their secrets in a book or elsewhere) while he focus on his book of secrets that folks told him (and keep it from those who wants to burn it). Other than that, the events at the House of Pony continues on per usual. Nothing major has happened so far.

But then, one week, Twilight and her friends decided to do a little tribute...at the same time that they heard of an important critic coming over to inspect their club...

Spike smirks as he appears...as a dog? The usual announcer spoke, "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know what you're thinking. Why am I dog, and not a dragon? We'll tell you after my usual call. And now, the only pony who can be at Equestria and Human World at the same time - Twilight Sparkle!"

The audience applauds as Twilight, in her human form, comes onto stage. He grins while exclaiming, "Hey there, everybody! I know what you're thinking. But today is just a special and important tribute to the House of Pony. Everyone is now human for today. So, let's get started. Has anybody saw Red Arsenal and Arsenal? Wow... Talk about having two came from one author."

Red Arsenal and Arsenal, sitting at the same table, laughs while speaking at the same time, "We're very different, not the same. And of course, our history are different - just because we came from the same author."

"All right, everyone. We've got a great show for you all, including some new cartoons coming up. But until then, give it up for the Cutie Mark Crusaders!"

The audience applauds as the girls, dressed up as a new band and are humans, begins playing for them.

In the backstage area, Twilight goes over to Ben, Nyx and Phobos. The newly reformed dog groans, "Why are most of everyone here humans while Spike and I are dogs?!"

"Just for tonight, Phobos." Nyx assures her friend with a giggle.

"And why are we even doing it?"

"Well, I've heard that a critic is coming to review our club tonight." Brian explains as he came over with a smile.

"Yeah, wait as in tonight tonight?" Ben ask in surprise and shock. "I was told we're doing the human thing as a tribute to Equestria Girls!"

"Gah! Oh my, tonight?!" Rarity gasps as she, Rainbow, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Spike came in as well. "No one told me that a critic was coming!"

"I told Twilight about that and presumed that she told everyone else!" Spike exclaims, saying that he told Twilight about the critics already.

"And I told him to tell everyone else!" Twilight insists in concern. "Okay, now I see why mostly everyone else is in a panic."

"Who is this critic anyway?" Pinkie ask curiously, pondering as to who the critics are.

"Well...I don't know." Spike admits in concern. He and no one else knew who the critic is. "I was told that we must expect some critic tonight."

"Well, you know what, whoever this critic is, everything has to be extra perfect! So, everyone, let's make the club extra special!" Twilight exclaims with a smile, making everyone else nods. They must work to make the club approvable for whoever the critic is.

During this time, Laxtinct tries his best to walk in his human version, no one notices him even when he spoke up, "Darn it. How did Twilight and others get so well with these legs?" The new male looks up, seeing the others. "There they are! Hey guys. I've got a message for you-!"

"Alright, everybody - you know what to do. Let's do it now!"

"Wait! You need to know-" Laxtinct begins to speak but it's too late as everyone left, "...who the critic is..."

Rainbow groans, trying to roll out a big carpet which is different without her hooves. Laxtinct comes in, exclaiming, "Rainbow, you must..."

With the interruption, the carpet rolls back on Rainbow, knocking her down.

Laxtinct came over to Pinkie who is speaking to the Bushwoolies, "Okay, Bushwoolies, this place must be spotless, and I mean "spotless".

The Bushwoolies nods as they got to work...literally as they clean off the spots off of everything! Laxtinct came in, exclaiming, "Hey, Pinkie! The critic, it's..." He yelps as the Bushwoolies cleaning off the spots on his new suit before moving on. "Gah!"

Rainbow hums as she got one end of the carpet rolled up, nailing it downward. The girl smiles, thinking as she got this down pat.

Laxtinct came in, calling, "Rainbow! I..." Suddenly he trips over the other end of the carpet, causing it to roll up and making it trapped both him and Rainbow. The girl growls angrily at the meekish Laxtinct. "Oops."

"Rarity, I got to tell you something!" Laxtinct exclaims to Rarity who is coming up to a table.

"Not now, Laxtinct." Rarity said as she came up to the table, speaking to those sitting at it. "All right, every pony. Everyone got to move to a new spot! This table is reserved for someone special, so move it!"

At the table are the villains Smaug, Discord, Nightmare Moon, Crarity, King Sombra, and Tadaka, all of them are shocked that they got to move. Discord frowns as he remarks, "Witch...and without my chaos power, I can't do a thing to get payback!"

"Awesome!" Rainbow exclaims as she paints on a red carpet. "I should've done that in the first place!'

The girl hops off the painted carpet and heads off, unaware of the footprints on where she was.

Ben hums as he dusts off the magic mirror, Arabus smiles while saying, "I'm sure you all will be successful. Why, if I was a critic of any kind, the House of the Pony is still the fairest."

"Thanks, Arabus, for a villain." Ben comments to Twilight in approval of his praise.

"Ben, I..." Laxtinct begins to speak, trying to get Ben's attention but the boy waves the rag that he was using around, sending dust onto Laxtinct, causing him to cough like mad.

Shining was outside at his post, waiting until he hears a sound of a horn honking. The man gasps as he saw a big limo coming up that has the license plate '1CRITIC'. This must be the critic!

Inside, Twilight give out the final instructions to the others, "Is everyone ready?"

"Sure am, mommy." Nyx said to Twilight in approval.

"Right, I just hope the critic doesn't mind the changes we have to deal with tonight." Spike remarks, moving around a bit.

"I sure do!" Phobos exclaims in irritation.

"We're ready." Twilight said with a smile. Just then, she spot a panting Laxtinct rushing up. "Oh. Hi Laxtinct, trying to get use to Human feet?"

"Yeah, real funny... Listen, I need to tell you. The critic is-" Laxtinct said as he was about to reveal who the critic is.

But then Shining rush into the club, exclaiming, "The critic is here! Everyone, it's time!"

"Come on, everyone! Let's go!" Twilight exclaims in determination. "And don't forget, whatever the critic want, we will let the critic have it, got it?"

Everyone else nodded as they rush off to greet the critic...all but Laxtinct who slaps himself on the forehead. Isn't anyone going to let him talk around here?!

Shining didn't get a good look at the critics as he rushes in upon the arrival. The critic came out...revealing to be Lord Azure who got used to his new legs find. He is joined by none other than Twilight's old friends Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry. The lord has just got the job as a critic to restaurants and clubs, and will be inspecting the House of Pony as the first place to do so.

"How did you get use to these feet? Man, they're hard to walk on. I prefer four legs." Flash said to Sunset in concern, trying his best to move in his new legs.

"You'll get used to it." Sunset comments before turning her attention to Azure. "And Lord Azure, I was surprised of you for choosing us to be your Co-Critics."

Azure smiled as he spoke, "Since Twilight is my student for Dark Magic, I might as well trained you for it. So you can be ready for it."

"But why us for coming here? You're the one supposed to be here, not us." Flash said, reminding Azure that he is the one to be doing the job as critic, not him or Sunset.

"To teach you to be a good judge. From what I had heard, you have good judgment but poor on making comments. So, I'm here to help you to do that."

"Thanks. I won't disappoint you or Princess Celestia or Twilight." Sunset said with a smile as the trio comes into the club, determined not to let him, Celestia or Twilight down no matter what.

"Look. They're coming. Hey, guys!" Flash exclaims, waving to his friends. But to his surprise, Twilight's group just rush by him, Sunset and Azure without stopping. "What the-! Where did they go?"

"I hope it's not serious." Sunset said in concern.

Azure spots Laxtinct arriving, speaking, "Ah... Corporal Laxtinct. I supposed you have accomplished your report to them?"

Lax chuckled uneasily, "Uh... Not exactly."

Azure frowns. He doesn't like the sound of that at all.

Now at the same time that the real critics entered the club, a trio of familiar girls was checking the limo. It's the Dazzlings, the Rainbooms' enemy who once tried to take over the Human Realm.

Sonata Dusk pouts a bit, looking at the carriage with a Dragon in it, "Aw... I want to have a carriage with a Dragon. It shows everyone that we're the celeb."

Aria Blaze sighed as she shakes her head, "Too bad for it. Sure wish we could have that like now."

"True... But with our gems restored, we can take this as our advantage." Adagio Dazzle said thoughtfully. Now if only there's some way to make it happen.

At this point, Twilight's group came up, seeing three figures near the limo. One of them must be the critic, but no one told them that he or she will be bringing any friends with him or her.

"Mr. Critic?" Twilight spoke, making the Dazzlings startled as they turn around. The princess and her group looks shocked and confused upon seeing them. "The Dazzlings?! What the hay?! You're the critic and any friends that we didn't know of until now?!"

"What, is this a joke?" Fluttershy ask puzzled.

"If it is, I don't like it." Rarity groans a bit in concern.

"Are you any of you three the critics we're expecting...along with any friends we weren't told about or what?" Ben ask the Dazzlings in concern.

Sonata giggled uneasily, "It's not what you think! Honest!"

Aria nodded while adding, "We're not causing any troubles. We were just-"

Adagio gasped, "Critics!" The leader smirked secretly. Yes, this misunderstanding can work in the Dazzlings' favor, especially when it comes to free food and service in exchange for a good reason. "Yes... We are the Critics. And you better give us what we desire, or you'll get a bad review. Now if you excuse us, Princess... We'd best be get going..."

The Dazzlings headed off at once into the club. Twilight groans in worry. This is going to get bad.

While being away from earshot, Aria frowns as she ask Adagio, "What was that, Adagio?! Are you trying to get us into trouble?"

"Yeah. We're not the critics. We'll be in trouble if they find out about it." Sonata said in worry, fearing that she will get into trouble if anyone else finds out the truth.

"They won't. Besides they think we're the critics, and so we will be." Adagio explains clearly to her pals. "They don't who the real critic is. And it's best to shut it until the whole night is over. After all, we want the attention. We got one. We're the celebs now."

Aria and Sonata smirked, getting the idea. Both said, "Yeah..."

"If anything goes wrong, the sound of our voice will win their hearts. All will turn against them for good."

"Can't wait for that." Aria said with a slight chuckle. Maybe this will teach the Rainbooms to beat and humiliate them at the last Battle of the Bands.

"But we can get all the boys right? Laxtinct is here! And I can't wait to see him. He and I are so going on a date!" Sonata exclaims cluelessly, much to the irritation of her pals.

"Gimme a break..."

"No. It's best that we keep to ourselves. And we don't want any him or his forces find out that we're a fraud." Adagio said sternly to her colleagues. Even if Twilight's group was fooled, not everyone else would be. "After all, Lord Azure has a connection to Celestia. We play low and have our fun..."

Unknown to everyone, the real critic, Azure Phoenix, and his group of Sunset and Flash are beginning their work sitting down. The Dazzlings are about to make the staff's job a living Tartarus.

The activities continue on at the House of Pony. Golden Heart, as a human, spoke, "Humans for today and seems the Dazzling's tricked everyone in thinking that they're the critics."

"Indeed but how about we serve the real ones and explain to them the details?" Pinkamena suggests to Golden Heart. He nods and gets up, she follows as they're ready to serve the real critics

On the stage, Twilight smiles as she spoke, "All right. We got a brand new Rainbow Dash cartoon!"

"Are you kidding me?!" Aria remarks in annoyance, causing everyone to look at her and her Dazzling pals. "Who wants to watch that show? It's so boring."

Rainbow fumes angrily at Aria, glaring at her. She wants to go over there and confront that brat, but can't out of fear of getting a bad review for the club.

Sonata nodded as she said happily, "Yeah... She's old news. I want to watch something more funny than her."

Adagio smirked as she suggests, "I know... Let us watch Drago's cartoon. He's much more interesting than the rest."

Rainbow Blaze, Rainbow's father, looks angry as he protest, "Hey! There's nothing wrong with my daughter's cartoons!"

Firefly (Rainbow's mom) nods in agreement as she said, "Yeah. Why don't you shut up and let us watch what cartoons they have?!"

Twilight sighed as she said, "Sorry, Rainbow's Parents - I really want to start this but I'll have to give what the critics want. Sorry, Rainbow Dash."

"It's okay. Just start the cartoon." Rainbow said bitterly.

"Here's a brand new cartoon starring Drago the Dragon."

Everyone applauds as the first cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A LORCAN AND SPIKE CARTOON

Lorcan's Mix-Up

It was afternoon in Ponyville. Spike and Lorcan are inside an electronic store, purchasing a fax machine for Lorcan.

"All right, perfect, I'll take it!" Lorcan exclaims, smirking at the machine as he purchases it. Spike helped his brother as the two leave the store with the fax machine. Lorcan hums the My Little Pony theme song. "Hey, Spike. Thanks for helping me out."

"Hey, anything for my big brother." Spike said to Lorcan with a chuckle. "Give me time and I will help you hook this baby up!"

Of course, as the two Dragons head on, they fail to see a familiar one digging through some garbage cans and stop upon hearing them whistle. After peeking out, Drago smirks and stops the two, saying, "Well, if it isn't my 'favorite' cousins."

"What do you want, Drago?" Lorcan ask Drago bitterly.

"Yeah, leave us alone. And by the way, we're not cousins!" Spike snaps right back at Drago.

Drago spots the fax machine, chuckling as he ask, "What's up with that machine, chickens?"

"A fax machine, duh..." Lorcan remarks, rolling his eyes. What? Drago never seen a fax machine before?

"For what, little Dragons?"

"Hello? To fax ponies and everyone, duh...." Spike points out to Drago clearly.

"Really? Like who?" Drago ask, arching an eyebrow in amusement.

"Like minding your own business!" Lorcan and Spike snaps in irritation. Doesn't Drago have anything else better to do than to get on those two's nerves?

When the crosswalk on the side lit up green on the walk sign, Spike and Lorcan heads off. Drago spots the fax machine's cord. He smirks evilly while stepping on the cord. Spike and Locan yelps as they were stopped, falling down as a result.

"Ha ha ha! Hey, why don't you two chickens fax me sometimes? You know where to reach me! Ha ha ha!" Drago laughs cruelly as he heads off. Spike and Lorcan got up, picking up the fax machine. Thankfully it's undamaged.

Lorcan gave an angry glare at Drago; that jerk!

Upon return to the castle, Spike and Lorcan got to work on setting the fax machine up. The baby Dragon sighs as he said, "All right. This machine is a cinch to use. Just put in a paper of what you want to send in this and send a copy to their fax machine...or whatever it is that they used."

"Grrr!" Lorcan growls angrily, recalling the treatment he and Spike went through before. The former villain picks up a piece of paper, dip a quill in ink and begins to write. "Oh, Drago wants us to fax him, huh? Well, you know what? I WILL WRITE HIM A FAX!"

"And what are you going to send?"

"'To that stupid creep! You stink, I hate you! HERE'S YOUR STUPID FAX, UGLY! Signed, Lorcan. P.S. Spike hates you too’!"

With a smirk, Lorcan put the paper into the fax machine and put in a random number. Of course, in the progress, the Dragon was dialing in a lot of buttons at the same time. He then pressed the 'ENTER' key, resulting in the paper to be faxed out.

Once the original message came out, Lorcan grabs it and throw it into the trash bin, sighing, "Ah, good to get that out of my system. Drago is in for a big surprise."

"Err, Lorcan? You do know how to use that thing, right?" Spike ask in concern, wondering if his brother would know how to use the fax machine since he was pushing a lot of buttons.

"Hey, I may be a scarred ruler but even I am not bad like Luna." Lorcan pauses as he smiles lovingly at a photo of his filly-friend, Princess Luna. "Oh yeah! In all that moment, I almost forgot the reason why I brought this: to send Luna a fax. Luckily, they got a fax machine for her at the Canterlot Castle."

Lorcan took out another piece of paper and use the quill once more. He reads out loud what he's writing, "'To the love of my life, I cannot live without you. You're the best individual I've ever known. Love, Lorcan'."

Lorcan licks the paper then puts it into the machine, dialing in a random number, once again pushing multiple buttons at the same time. The Dragon press the 'ENTER' key, sending the paper to be faxed out before printing over to Lorcan who takes it.

"I sure hope you know what you're doing." Spike said to Lorcan in concern.

"Relax, this baby works wonders." Lorcan said to his brother proudly. Luna will love his fax!

An hour later, Lorcan and Spike was playing a game of cards when a knock came at the door. The two went over and open it. To their annoyance, there's Drago waiting outside.

"Hello, Drago." Lorcan said bitterly to Drago.

"Got our fax, buddy?" Spike ask bitterly, he prepares himself to the angry words that Drago is about to give out here.

But to the two's surprise, Drago just smile, laughing while saying, "Awww, Spike, you don't need to speak for Lorcan! And Lorcan, no need to be modest! You are actually sweet! Wow, didn't know you like me all along! I knew you were the right cousin to be with."

"Wait, what?" Lorcan ask in confusion. What is Drago talking about? He noticed a paper in the evil Dragon's claws and took it. To his shock, it's the same one that he send Luna. "Wait, how did you get this?!"

"Come on, no need to be shy, buddy! You sent it to me, remember?"

"Let me see that!" Spike exclaims as he took the letter from Lorcan and looks at the top. Indeed, the message is identical to what his brother wanted to written to Luna...and to his horror, the top reads "FAX: To Drago". "Oh no!"

"Wait, if you got this fax, that means..." Lorcan said, his eyes widened in horror. That must mean that nasty fax that he was going to send to Drago...must've got send to Luna instead! "Oh horse feathers!"

The two Dragons rush back into the house, slamming the door. Drago looks confused by the reaction, but shrugs it off, saying, "See you later, cousins!"

Inside, Lorcan quickly dial the number for the castle, Spike yells out, "Lorcan! You should've have me send the faxes to the right folks!"

"I know! Ugh, I can't believe I send Luna the wrong fax! If she reads it, she will think that I don't like her...and you don't either!" Lorcan exclaims, taking a deep breath as he waits during the dial tone. "And trust me, if you think seeing me angry was rough, you don't wanna see Luna when she gets ticked off!"

The two Dragons looks nervous. Luna would be furious if she reads the fax and believes that Lorcan and Spike hated and insulted her! This won't be good! They waited for Luna to pick up her phone.

Then a familiar voice is heard, "Greetings, ponies. This is Princess Luna using this modern day phone."

"Luna, listen, I..." Lorcan said awkwardly, wanting to explain the fax.

"I do apologize for missing your call however, but I'm not in the castle at the moment because I am either doing my royal duties or else what. Please leave your message after the beep and I will get back to you when I can."

Lorcan hangs up the phone, sighing in relief. Spike spoke, "What? What did Luna say?"

"She isn't there, I got her answering machine. Luna probably didn't check her fax machine messages yet." Lorcan said to Spike in concern. "Listen, we will use my teleportation power to get there. If she's gone when we arrive, I can get rid of the fax before she reads it."

"Good idea. Come on!"

Lorcan activates his teleportation power as he and Spike jumps into the portal to Canterlot.

Lorcan and Spike arrives outside the castle, on the ledge to Luna's tower. As they climb to a window, they spotted the fax machine where the message is there. All the two got to do is open a window and get that fax.

But just as Lorcan was about to open the window, he yelps as Luna came into the room, forcing him to duck. Crud! Luna's back. Hopefully she doesn't notice the fax and...

"What's this?" Luna ask, making the brothers gulp and peek through the window. Lorcan groans as his love saw the fax and picks it up. "One of those faxes my sister spoke of."

"Oh no, we're too late!" Lorcan exclaims in worry.

"We're dead. Luna is going to make war in Ponyville just to get at us." Spike said worried, fearing that Luna will go crazy and make war in Ponyville for vengeance on her lover and his brother for allegedly insulting her!

"Well, perhaps I could read it now...but I must not be bothered as I'm late for my mane appointment right now." Luna said thoughtfully as she put the fax into her purse. "This shall be in the royal purse until I read it later."

The two hid near the balcony doorway and was blow off as Luna flew out of the tower, heading off on her way. She didn't see the two brothers falling to the ground below hard. Luckily, they survive but are shaken.

"Luna, wait!" Lorcan exclaims frantically as he got back up. But Luna is out of earshot. "Now what? We got to get to the salonist and get that fax back!"

Without warning, a flying car came up before a door opens up. To the two brothers' dismay, there's Drago who smiles, saying, "Hey, cousins! Want a lift?"

"Where did you get this? And what are you even doing here?" Spike ask Drago, wondering how his enemy got the flying car and was here in the first place.

"I thought I might treat my favorites to a hang out." Drago chuckles as he pulls Spike and Lorcan right into the car. The two were buckled in before the enemy begins driving. "So, how about a movie?"

"For flying out loud! Listen, about the fax, it was a stupid mistake, okay?! I shouldn't even send it to you in the first place, stupid!" Lorcan snaps to Drago in frustration. Of course, upon hearing that, the villain slams on the brakes, causing the brothers to lurch in their seat and hitting the air bag.

"Oh, I get it. After all we went through, you want to be enemies again?!"

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying, you horn head!"

"Fine, then get out of my car!" Drago exclaims furiously as he kicks Spike and Lorcan out of the car before flying off.

The two lands on the ground hard, Spike feels his tail while groaning, "Ugh! Unbelievable."

Spike and Lorcan saw that, to their luck, they are outside the mane salon! As they peek into the window, they saw Luna sitting at one of the blow dryer machines, having her mane done while reading a magazine. Her purse is at her hooves, unattended.

Lorcan smirks, this is perfect. He motions Spike to wait here before sneaking into the mane salon. The Dragon ducks behind every chair, with one being occupied by Fleur Dis Lee who was having her own mane done. Lorcan, making sure that no pony is looking, grabs the purse and snuck back outside. Spike nods as he and Lorcan makes a run for it.

By bad timing, Luna's mane got done as she turns the machine off, using her magic to lift it. As the princess reaches for her purse, she saw, to her shock that its shock, causing Luna to gasps, "My purse!"

"I got it!" Lorcan exclaims as he runs to a nearby corner with Spike.

"Right, now open that purse, get that fax and..." Spike said with a nod.

But before Spike continue as they walk off with Lorcan preparing to open the purse to get the fax, the two run into someone: the thief known as Rough Diamond that Applejack, Rarity, Apple Bloom, Babs Seed, and Trixie were able to capture back in Manehattan. She escaped from prison and is now trying to steal valuables.

"Gah! Rough Diamond!" The Dragons gasps, recognizing the thief.

"Hey, it isn't what you think." Lorcan said in concern to Rough Diamond. "I am no purse snatcher."

"No, but I am!" Rough Diamond exclaims as she grabs Luna's purse. "You're in my territory, you Dragons!"

"Hey!" Spike exclaims as Lorcan snaps the purse right back. "That belong to Princess Luna!"

Rough Diamond grab the purse back, exclaiming, "Good! That gives me the better reason to have it! It's mine now! Ha! It's worth breaking out of prison for this!"

Soon all three are fighting over the purse, grabbing it back and forth. Lorcan took the purse and hits Rough Diamond with it. The two make a run for it, only for Rough Diamond to grab them both by the tail.

"Give it here!" Rough Diamond demands furiously.

"You want it? You got it!" Lorcan growls as he slashes at Rough Diamond's feet. The thief screams, holding her injured feet until Spike kicks her right into a nearby garbage can.

Spike and Lorcan sighs, thinking that's the worst is over. That is until a familiar voice exclaims in the Royal Canterlot Voice, "THAT'S THE FIEND, SPANISH STEELE!" The two Dragons gasps as they saw Luna pointing in their direction, and General Spanish Steele is with her! "THE RUFFIAN WHO DARES TO STEAL OUR PURSE!"

"Wait, Luna, let me..." Lorcan said nervously, wondering how he will get out of this one now.

"All right, you're coming with me, you criminal!" General Spanish Steele exclaims sternly as he took out a pair of hoof-cuffs.

Spike gulps as Lorcan gave a nervous smile, holding up the purse. Looks like he's going to prison for good. But to the brothers' surprise, Spanish Steele just went by them and put the cuffs on Rough Diamond, much to their confusion.

"We got word that you escaped the Manehattan prison, Rough Diamond!" General Spanish Steele exclaims sternly as he takes Rough Diamond to the waiting Royal Guard car.

"Wait, sir! That Dragon Lorcan stole it first!" Rough Diamond protests innocently, but yelps as she got thrown into the Royal Guard car.

"Yeah, right. Lorcan is reformed now! You honestly expect me to think he would risk jail time by trying to steal his own love's purse? I am not stupid and naïve like the cops you deceived back in Manehattan!"

Lorcan and Spike looks surprised. Luna and Spanish Steele thought that Rough Diamond stole the princess's purse! Looks like Lorcan got away with it.

"Lorcan, I thank you for getting my purse back! You're the best Dragon boyfriend a princess like me could asked for." Luna said happily as she hugs Lorcan as she kisses him on the cheek, making him blush. "You must've ccme to visit me and saw Rough Diamond swiping my purse, getting it back!"

"Oh, well, it was nothing, here you go." Lorcan said lovestruck as he give his love her purse back.

"Lorcan, wait, the fax." Spike said nervously, remembering the reason that Lorcan took the purse in the first place.

Luna opens her purse, looking inside as she said, "Well, everything is still here. Oh yes, I remember." The princess uses her magic to get the message out. "My fax, I guess I can read it now."

"Wait, the fax!" Lorcan exclaims in horror. "Wait, Luna!"

"Why?" Luna ask puzzled. She begins reading the message out loud, "'My dearest sister, I must warn you to beware as I got word that Rough Diamond has escaped from the Manehattan prison and would most likely try to steal your purse while you're having your mane done. Sincerely, Princess Celestia'."

Spike and Lorcan looks dumbstruck. So Luna never got the insulting message! All that trouble for nothing. Lorcan sighs, deciding that it's best to drop the matter.

Spike however in shock ask, "Wait, that message was from Princess Celestia? But then who got the message that Lorcan sent???"

In another universe, in the office of Lauren Faust, the woman was busy at work when a fax came out of her machine. She took it and reads the message, looking a bit confused.

"Huh? Who's Lorcan? And Spike? What did I ever do to them?" Lauren ask bewildered, unaware of what has happened in the world of Equestria.

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is over, the audience applauds eagerly and excitedly. Another great cartoon now done!

The real critics agrees as they wrote this down. Azure hummed, "So, what do you think, despite the sudden changes?"

Flash smiled as he comments, "That's actually good. I don't mind some changes, as long as it got my friends in it. That's important."

Sunset nodded while saying, "Yeah. That show was great. I was hoping to see Twilight get herself in trouble for sending the wrong fax to Lauren Faust but this will do." The girl giggle playfully, "It's funny enough."

"Not upset or anything about the changes from Twilight and her friends?" Azure ask, arching an eyebrow in interest. Flash and Sunset shook their heads. "Interesting... But I agreed. This show is magnifique."

The Dazzlings were in a table opposite the critics'. Aria, overhearing, ask, "Magna-what? What is that Lord of Northern Ma talking about?"

"Just ignore him, as long as we don't rouse his suspicion, we should be fine." Adagio said to Aria, rolling her eyes.

Sonata calls over to Pinkie, motioning to her empty dishes while asking, "Waitress, I want more tacos please?"

"But you ate everything! Every last one of them!" Pinkie pouts out as Fluttershy came over in concern. Sonata has been calling for more tacos and the kitchen's almost out.

Fluttershy nodded as she adds, "We're almost out."

"Trying to cheat us?" Adagio ask with a secret smirk, pretending to be upset. "Fine then, I guess we'll have to write the review now."

Pinkie yelped, "I mean there might be some leftover. Don't worry, we'll get it."

The waitresses rush off, hoping to at least find one taco. Fluttershy said, "Oh dear... I don't like it."

"You and me both."

As Pinkie and Fluttershy are out of earshot, Aria smirks as she comments to Adagio, "Nice one, Adagio."

"Alright, more Taco Tuesday!" Sonata cheers on, waiting so much for her tacos to show up.

Lorcan, in his dog form, was in a seat, eating some tacos when Pinkie and Fluttershy quickly grabs his plate, much to his alarm.

"What the-?!" Lorcan demands in alarm. "What are you doing with my Tacos?!"

"Sorry, Lorcan. We need this for the critics." Pinkie apologizes to Lorcan sadly. She hates to do this but it's for the best of the club.

"Yes, doggy Lorcan. It's too important. We have to give anything that the critics wants." Fluttershy said, feeling sad to do this to Lorcan, especially when he's in his doggy form now.

Lorcan growled furiously, "I don't think so! Nobody steals my tacos!" The dog grabs his plate and makes a run for it. "You're gonna have to catch me to get them back!"

"Lorcan, stop!" Pinkie and Fluttershy calls out as they begin chasing after Lorcan.

As the chase continues onward, the Dazzlings couldn't help but smirk. This night has been an interesting one for them so far!

As the bad guys continue their relaxation, they spotted Rainbow nearby. Adagio, smirking, calls over to her, "Hey, Rainbow Crash!"

Rainbow looks annoyed about being called that. Still, she came over, responding, "What's up?!"

"Be a good waitress and bring us the handsome boys you ever have. It's getting boring for a minute."

Rainbow groaned, "Fine." She muttered while heading off, "I am not a waitress. I'm a door girl."

Rainbow need some guys to sit with those Dazzling jerks. The girl got an idea, though she knew that she will hate herself in the morning for it...

In the Backstage area, Twilight came up to Rainbow who looks a bit guilty about something. The princess spoke, " Rainbow, where's Ben? I need him to do something."

"Yeah... About that. I'm very sorry." Rainbow groans as she rubs the back of her head in guilt. "I didn't want to do this! Honest!"

"What's wrong?"

Rainbow points out to the audience, making Twilight look. To her shock and anger, there're Ben, frowning as he sat at the table near Adagio, with Rainbow's boyfriend Soarin' sitting near Aria, and Brian sitting near an unhappy Sonata. All boys were asked by Rainbow to hang with the Dazzlings. They didn't like the order and idea, but with the review in the air, they had no choice.

Adagio whistled, patting Ben on the shoulder as she comments, "Now this is what I'm talking about. I have the Prince of Friendship as my boyfriend. After all, Twilight chose Shadow Dragon than him."

Aria giggled while hugging the uncomfortable Soarin', "So as my Wonderbolt."

Sonata cried and sobbed, "I want my Lax! I want him now!"

Ben groaned as he pushes Adagio off, scowling, "Okay first off, Twilight didn't choose my brother-in-law's good version! Just because she has a crush, doesn't mean she loved him more than me! And I'm not your boyfriend!

"Yeah, me too. I only come here to help Rainbow Dash! Not date with you!" Soarin' exclaims at Aria as he got her off of him.

"Seriously? Why didn't you invite him?" Brian ask Sonata. He knew that she likes Laxtinct but Brian himself had to be picked instead!

Sonata explains sadly to Brian, "Adagio won't let me, so I have to choose you as my boyfriend."

Unfortunately, Laxtinct happened to come nearby at this moment and saw what Sonata is doing. In horror, he spoke while shuddering a bit, "What?! How- how could you?!" And the boy starts crying, believing the worst: that Sonata has went and left him for someone else! "I thought you love me! How could you betray me?!"

"Lax, it's not you think!"

Laxtinct cried and sobbed as he ran away from her. This causes Sonata and maybe some of the audience members near the Dazzlings' table to feel a bit terrible for both him and Sonata.

"Wow, Sonata and Laxtinct. Who knew?" Brian ask, whistling in amazement.

"I wonder what the two saw in each other in the first place." Soarin' said, wondering what Laxtinct saw in a girl like Sonata.

"Well, maybe both are a bit clueless...no offense towards them of course." Ben said, expecting that the clueless factor is in question here.

Adagio of course just scoffs, waving off the boys' comments as she remarks, "Who cares? We're just enjoying the show."

"Besides, I'd never like that guy." Aria remarks, admitting her dislike towards Laxtinct, much to Sonata's further sadness.

"Just remember, when this is over, I'm getting back to Twilight." Ben said bitterly to Adagio.

"You don't need her. You have me. Give me a kiss." Adagio said with a slight smile to Ben, much to his shock and horror.

"So as mine." Aria remarks with a cruel laugh.

Ben and Soarin gasped in alarm, "Now wait-!"

Adagio and Aria kissed Ben and Soarin's's lips passionately and hard. The boys struggled and moaned in annoyance and anger, avoiding in giving in to their kiss. Brian patted on Sonata's back as she cried and sobbed in sadness. Why didn't Laxtinct kiss her like that?!

Shadow Dragon (PM Version) looks at the scene in disgust, exclaiming angrily by Adagio's words, "Unbelievable! She dare use the rumors to flirt with him because Twilight (JusSonic) had a crush on me. I already have my own Twilight."

Back in the backstage, Twilight groaned in anger, "How dare she-?!"

"This is so not we agree on!" Rainbow exclaims in anger. She only agree for the boys to hang with the Dazzlings, not for a make-out! "If they weren't the critics, I would have given them hard punches!"

A couple of moments later, the Dazzlings were getting bored with this. They want some real entertainment, right!

"Hello! Don't you girls have the entertainment to do? I'm getting bore here!" Aria snaps at the stage in frustration. The guests are getting fed up with the Dazzlings and their demands, along with their attitude problem.

Twilight was irritated by the Dazzlings’ complaints and flirting with the boys. Yet she sighed calmly while coming back onstage, "Alright, let's give what the critics want. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are up next!"

Adagio just scoffs rudely, "Oh, please... Who wants them? They are the worst entertainers I ever heard of. We demand true entertainment!"

Aria nods in agreement, adding, "We want real ones! We want real ones! We want my real ones!"

Sonata cried and screamed while putting her face in her hands, "I want my tacos! I want to punish myself for betraying Lax!"

Applejack looks a bit ticked off by Adagio and Aria's mean words towards her sister and her band. She calls out from the projector room, "Hey! Mah sister is 'e real entertainment! Nobody talk rash about her, especially 'de critics!"

Rarity agrees with Applejack as she calls out from the backstage area, "Indeed. You all will pay for your insults one day! My Sweetie Belle is the best, not the worst!"

Rainbow stood nearby with Rarity, remarking, "Someday, I'm gonna make you eat those words! And I'm not one happy mare after what you did to my Soarin! Insult Scootaloo, you're gonna be sorry for that!"

Sunset, writing in her notebook, glares at the fake critics, snapping, "There's nothing wrong with the House of Pony's entertainment! You three are annoying!"

"They're right! Let Twilight and her friends do what they're good at!" Flash exclaims in agreement with his girlfriend.

Even Megatron, the Prime version, agree with that, the Decepticon is having enough of the Dazzling brats. He demands, "Indeed... Do you mind?! I'm trying to have my own relaxation!"

"In case if you hadn't notice, we do mind." Adagio snaps rudely at the ruler of the Decepticons. "Can someone throw Galvatron's twin out of here. He's bugging me!" Megatron fumes angrily, wanting to send the girl to the pits of Cybertron for that.

Starscream (Prime) angrily demands, "How dare she?! She dare insult Lord Megatron?!"

Shockwave (Prime) remarks in disgust, "Most illogical and disrespectful..."

Soundwave (Prime) nods in agreement as he remarks, "Affirmative..."

"Honestly! Even I can't stand the Chaos they're spewing." Discord remarks in disgust.

"Someone do something about them!" Baby Lickety-Split complains with a groan.

"They are simply awful!" Rainbow Dash, the Gen 3 version, whines a bit in annoyance. "Even our Rarity wouldn't be that demanding."

"That's true and I usually be polite about it!" Rarity, Gen 3 version, said in agreement.

"Will someone shut the idiots up?!" Tirek complains as his brother Scorpan nodding in agreement. "I am this close to turning ponies into Dragons again and tear this place apart!"

Sonata sniffed in sadness as she ask, "Can we get comedy? It makes me feel better."

"Good thinking, Sonata." Aria said. For once, Sonata came up with an idea that the Dazzlings can agree on! She calls out to Twilight, "Give us a comedy roast."

"I could do it now!" Flash exclaims furiously, glaring at Adagio and Aria.

"Me too! That would shut your yapping." Sunset remarks bitterly and in agreement.

Azure puts his hand onto the table to keep Flash and Sunset from leaving. He spoke, "Flash, Sunset, remain calm and enjoy the show."

Sunset and Flash groans but they nodded, repeating to themselves, "Just enjoy the show. Everything will be fine in the end. Twilight and her friends can handle it."

Sunset groaned in annoyance though, "I still don't like it." The Dazzlings are causing trouble, yet they can't do a thing about it.

Flash nodded in agreement, adding, "You and me both, Sunset."

Twilight sighed, may as well give the "critics" what they want. The host spoke to the audience reluctantly, "Okay then. Coming up next - we're gonna have a celebrity roast. But for now, let's hear it from-!"

"The Three Blank Flanks!" The Dazzlings exclaims at once. The Cutie Mark Crusaders gave angry glares at the three for that insult. They want to insult them right back or get those three, but knew that they couldn't out of fear of getting a bad review.

"Ah wish Ah could duct tape them." Apple Bloom mumbles quietly to her friends.

Sweetie Belle nods in agreement as she whispers, "II sure wish I could turn them into a frogs."

"I sure I wish I could kick them out." Scootaloo said quietly to her friends.

Regardless, the CMC plays for the audience though a bit half-heartedly. Twilight meets up with her friends backstage, they are upset by the "critics" and their demands so far, especially when it comes to insulting the CMC.

"You okay, you three?" Twilight ask Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow in concern. "And I'm really sorry for what those Dazzlings said, those awful words, about your sisters."

"Ah'll be fine. Ah sure wish we could do something about those Sirens." Applejack said bitterly as she clutch a fist. "They insulted our sisters an' guests too much."

"Indeed. They're demanding too much! We need get rid of them now. The House of Pony is going to become a laughing stock." Rarity said angrily. Review or not, those Dazzlings should not get away with what they're saying or doing here.

"I'm with Rarity. I'd say we lure them to a trap and trap them for good. That would shut them up. This is a payback for making my parents upset." Rainbow said, the girl is still furious over what her real parents had to go through tonight.

"I know. But leave the thinking to me. I'll try and figure it out on how to deal with them, without us risking getting a bad review." Twilight said in agreement. There must be a way to get back at those Sirens without getting a bad risk.

Though, the question is, how?

At their table, the real critics front in concern. Why is Twilight kept calling the Dazzlings critics? Something isn't right here. They make plans to talk to Twilight about this...once the next cartoon of the night is over at last.

As the Dazzlings continue walking, not one of them saw that Ben, Soarin' and Brian has snuck away, putting in dummies in their places so that the bad guys wouldn't notice at first as they were distracted. Mostly because the three Sirens are watching Pinkie and Fluttershy chasing Lorcan, trying to get the tacos from him.

"Lorcan, please! We need those tacos!" Fluttershy calls out to Lorcan in concern.

"Please, come back! We're gonna get bad review if you don't give us the tacos!" Pinkie exclaims frantically to the fleeing LOrcan.

"Go away! Leave me and my tacos alone!" Lorcan snaps angrily to the two waitresses.

By this time, Adagio yawns as she calls out, "Okay, no more music, we're getting bored here!"

"Okay, this is serious. Can't these girls be quiet for once," Flash remarks, getting fed up with the Dazzlings. He doesn't mind Sonata, but Adagio and Aria are another story!

"I know but why aren't Twilight and her friends doing anything with them?" Sunset ask in concern.

"It's time to find out on what is going on." Azure said sternly. "I have the feeling that they've being fooled by the Dazzlings."

"I have that thoughts too. They're avoiding Laxtinct. Sonata never avoided him because she like him so much." Flash said in suspicion. He knows that Sonata would never want to avoid Laxtinct, unless she has no choice but to do so.

"Yeah... Something is fishy..." Sunset said in agreement, frowning.

"But until the next cartoon is over, we will do nothing until then." Azure said, reminding the two of the plan at hand here.

"But Lord Azure-!" Sunset and Flash begins to protest, but Azure holds up a hand somewhat.

"Just enjoy the show. Everything will be fine in the end. Twilight and her friends can handle it."

Aria bored spoke, "How about playing a Ben cartoon, you know, just for your former beau Benny here?"

"Yeah, ri..." Adagio stops as she and her group saw the dummies. "HEY! He, Soarin' and Brian are dummies!"

"Now, that isn't nice to call them that." Sonata said offended, unaware of what Adagio is really talking about.

"Okay, folks, what the critics wants, we will give it to them." Twilight said with a weak smile on stage. The audience applauds as the next cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

Maestro Ben 3 - Flight of the Bumblebee

"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to another performance at the Ponyville Concert Hall. Tonight, our infamous conductor, Ben mare, returned to give out his rendition of the infamous 'Flight of the Bumblebee', which was made by famous opera writer, Nikolas Dragon-Korsakov'. Give him a moment of silence if you please."

As the curtains open up, Ben, in his usual conductor's outfit, came up to the podium. With a smile, the stallion waves his conductor's stick up to get the music wait. As the spotlight appears on him, the music begins to play.

Ben spins around, conduction a fast melody with the cellos. All was starting to go well, until the Earth Pony hears a buzzing sound. Sure enough, there's a bumblebee who came in and out of nowhere, scaring the other instruments much to Ben's surprise as the music kept on playing.

As the bumblebee comes near Ben, he gave out a frown while trying to use his stick to fight off the stinger of the invading bee. Ben was forced to drop his conducting stick and duck, avoiding the bee. Ben glares at the intruder, waving a hoof in protest as he is ruining the performance. The bee just stuck his tongue out at him, mocking the hero while zooming down, ruining his mane in the progress.

Ben got ticked off, time to make some action! He heads back to the podium and conducts the instruments to get rid of the bumblebee. They obey and decided to make a stand. The bumblebee flew around, until he realizes that the cellos are now chasing him. The insect screeches and flies off, trying to escape.

However, the horns surround the bee as he tries to fly around, but couldn't get too far as the bee flew into a tuba, getting blown out and landing on Ben's conducting stick. The Earth Pony waves the stick, causing the intruder to get dizzy, and points it way out. The bee flew out, not wanting to deal with this anymore.

Once the piece is over, the audience applauds as Ben and the other instruments gave a fall as the curtain fell.

"There you have it, the Flight of the Bumblebee, yet another amazing performance by the conductor Ben Mare. While he would do another classical piece, right now, Ben is chasing out a bumblebee that was causing trouble throughout the performance. Once again, thank you and good night."

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon's over, the audience applauds, enjoying it! Yet another good one!

"Wow, another great cartoon, as well as a delicious meal." Azure comments, sharing his sentiments. Flash and Sunset nods in agreement.

"Ha!" Aria scoffs upon hearing what Azure said. "What do you know, you old goat?"

"More than you know!" Sunset snaps in irritation at Aria's attitude.

Adagio, looking around, spots Sombra, in his human form, with Autumn Gem. She taunts, "Hey, Sombra! Still fighting for your Crystal Empire? Or did you decided to go for the loser kind instead?" Needless to say, the former villain and Autumn Gem gave angry glares at Adagio for that.

Aria smirks as she rolls her eyes to make them look crooked, taunting, "Hey, look! I'm Derpy Hooves, and boy, am I stupid!"

"Did...did you hear what she said about me?!" Derpy sobs as she sat her head on her table, her feelings has been hurt by Aria's mean words.

"It's okay, you are better than that." Dr. Hooves said to Derpy as he pat her on the head comfort. Dinky gave a frown at the Dazzlings, upset that Aria said about her mother.

"Azure, we better do something or they will make everyone leave." Sunset said to Azure in concern.

"You're right, now we go." Azure said as he, Sunset and Flash got up from the table. Time to confront Twilight on what's going on and set things right.

As Azure's group arrives at the backstage area, Twilight, Ben, Nyx, Spike, Phobos and Rarity are already talking, keeping an eye on the Dazzlings.

"Twilight, we got to do something about those three!" Ben complains to his girlfriend.

"Yeah, they already hurt Miss Hooves's feelings!" Nyx complains. "At this rate, no one would want to come here anymore!"

"I know, but we can't chance getting a bad review!" Twilight protests, pointing out that any action against the Dazzlings would earned their wrath AKA bad review.

"But Twilight, your food was great and the show was great too!" Sunset exclaims, getting the others' attention. "We wouldn't give you a bad review for giving us a great time."

"Wait, review, what?"

"Right, although you need to get the Dazzlings out...Sonata is better, it's the other two who are a problem." Flash said with a shrug.

Twilight pauses, it didn't take long for her to figure out the truth. She ask, "Hang on, Sunset? Flash? You're the real critics?"

"Not just them, but me too." Azure said to the group, surprising them in the progress. "I'm the main one while these two are the critics. Laxtinct was supposed to tell you this earlier."

"Err, well, we didn't give him a chance to tell us." Spike said awkwardly. Hoo boy, Laxtinct was trying to tell his friends who the critics are, and yet they didn’t listen to him!

"Oh no! I'm so sorry, Azure!" Twilight exclaims in shock and guilt. She unknowingly tries to give a good show to the wrong people! "I feel so embarrassed! We all thought that the Dazzlings were the critics!"

"Ugh, they must've been looking at the car at the time." Phobos groans while Pinkie and Fluttershy came in, with the latter holding the struggling Lorcan and the tacos.

"What's going on here?" Fluttershy ask curiously.

"We made a mistake! Lord Phoenix, Sunset Shimmer, and Flash Sentry are the real critics, not the Dazzlings!" Nyx explains the mix-up to her adopted aunties.

"Ooooh, so if they aren't the critics, does this means that we don't have to serve them tacos anymore?" Pinkie ask her friends curiously.

"Yeah, that's actually what it means!" Twilight exclaims with a laugh. She is now relieved that the group doesn't have to put up with the Dazzlings' demands anymore!

Fluttershy lets go of Lorcan, saying, "Lorcan, we're so sorry."

"Yeah, well, good thing too. I ain't giving up my tacos for anyone!" Lorcan remarks, relief that he still get to keep his tacos.

"That still leaves the matter of the Dazzlings." Azure said, remembering that the Dazzlings are still a problem. "If you want to give those Sirens a taste of their own medicine...then go ahead, you have my permission."

"Err, can it just be Adagio and Aria?" Sunset ask in concern. "Sonata so far is the nicest."

"Ha ha ha. Very well, Adagio and Aria then."

"Oh, trust me, I have an idea." Twilight said with a smirk of delight. With the truth revealed, it's time for payback! "Adagio and Aria wanted a roast, right? Well, they will get one alright!"

Most of the group chuckles in delight, oh, this is going to be good.

Laxtinct is at his table, basically close to eating himself to death. When I said that, I meant the human is stuffing himself with noodles and sogging! His love has "betrayed" him. What will he move on?

Blazefist and Bladestrike came over, a bit concerned for Laxtinct's behavior. His brother spoke, "Lax? What are you doing here?! Why are you stuffing yourself with noodles and sogging?"

Bladestrike sighed in annoyance "What happen?!"

Blazefist sighed in concern, fearing the worst for his brother, "Please, don't say it's about the Hearts and Hooves day present again..."

Laxtinct cried and sobbed loudly, "Sonata! Why?! Why?! Why?!"

"What is he talking about?" Bladestrike ask, giving an odd look to his friend. Something must've happened!

"She-she-she betrayed me! She betrayed me! Why?! Why must I be the one to get the worse night? Why?!"

Blazefist shakes his head, patting Laxtinct on the back as he said, "I don't know what's really going on. But I'll help. I'm pretty sure it's just a misunderstanding. I mean seriously, Lax. Sonata is too sweet to betray you unless you ticked her off."

"So not!" Laxtinct protests. He didn't do anything to upset Sonata!

Bladestrike then sternly spoke to Laxtinct, "Then, get up. The celebrity roast is about to happen. Lord Azure ordered us to prepare for the Dazzlings. Let's go now."

Laxtinct glumly got up, following the others. He hopes that his beloved Sonata is immune to the roast, which involves insults and nasty tricks. The man would hate himself if that were to happen!

Just then, Spike appears on stage, smirking as he said, "All right; time for the 'critics' to get what they deserved! The House of Pony Celebrity Roast!"

The audience applauds. Adagio chuckles, "About time this dumb show gets celebrity."

"Right, what poor dope will be getting roasted?" Aria ask eagerly. Sonata doesn't respond, nothing will cheer her up now.

"And the roastee, or roastees, are..." Spike said as Twilight points to the screen...as a picture of both Adagio and Aria with stupid looks on their faces appear. "...Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze!"

The audience applauds as the Dazzlings, especially the surprised Sonata, ask in alarm, "What?!"

"Oh yes, this will be delightful!" Megatron (Prime) exclaims with glee. Time for some payback fun on the two girls who insulted him earlier!

"Keep your mouth shut, you giant tin can!" Adagio exclaims furiously as she and Aria got up from their table and heads to their table. How dare Twilight tries to backstab them by making them the subjects of the roast! "Hey, Princess! Better change the roastees right now!"

"Yeah, otherwise we will write you a bad review that will end ya!" Aria exclaims furiously in agreement.

"What, you two? Write reviews?" Twilight ask with a laugh. "Please! You two couldn't even write a grocery list!"

Sonata, getting the insult, laughs madly, "Grocery list! Ha ha ha! It's funny because that's true!"

The audience laughs madly, making Adagio and Aria shocked. Boris in his seat laughs as he kicks at the two Dazzlings, sending them packing towards a pillar.

Pinkamena came by, smirking as she calls out, "Hydia! Found your two dumb daughters!" The two Sirens peels themselves off the walls, groaning. "Oops! My bad, just Adagio and Aria, but I can see how I can be mistaken!"

The audience laughs like mad as the two Sirens tries to walk it off, but Golden Heart smirks as he "innocently" kicks them right near the stage's pillars, knocking them both down.

Ben and Rarity came by with the stallion using magic to hold two pies. The girl exclaims with a smile, "From what I heard, both Adagio and Aria once auditioned to be the next members of the Apple Family...named Sour and Rotten!"

"Here's your deserts, Sour and Rotten!" Ben exclaims, throwing the pies onto the two girls' face. The audience laughs like loud as the villains got up, ticked off.

"Is this how you treat the critics?!" Adagio demands furiously to the laughing masses. "Fine, all of you will face our wrath!"

"All of you are so busted!" Aria furiously remarks in agreement.

Sunset, Flash and the Mystic Ponies came up. The girl spoke sternly, "I don't think so, Adagio. We saw and heard what really going on. Your 'critic' days are over now."

"Yeah. The House of Pony remains here forever." Flash said in agreement. "And besides, if you think you can convince the authority to arrest us, then you've gitta face the guests and customers. They would be so 'proud' of it..."

"Fine then... We'll have to sing for them!" Adagio remarks furiously. The staff will pay for this outrage.

"Prepare yourself! We won't go down yet!" Aria exclaims. Both she and Aria begins to sing...but to their surprise and confusion, the two girls are off key and sang lousier, just like what happened when they were defeated! The Sirens looks shocked as they saw that their gems are missing!

"Where aren't hey?!"

"Looking for these?" Blazefist ask, holding up two familiar gems. They must've fell off during the madness! "That's for using Sonata's betrayal and hurting my brother's feelings."

"And above all, you won't cause any more troubles, imposters." Bladestrike remarks, making Adagio and Aria's eyes to shrink a bit. Not good for them!

"Indeed. As the Mexican's way of saying - Adios, amigos for you are fired." Azure remarks to the two Sirens with a smirk.

Blazefist's arms grow on fire then send blasts at Adagio and Aria. They scream as the two girls are send flying right out of the House of Pony.

"And stay out unless you are willing to pay the bill for the trouble you gave us!" Rainbow exclaims with a laugh.

Everyone erupts in happiness, applauding. Those two annoying guests in the House of Pony are gone! Even Sonata is relieved that her friends won't be around to bother her or force them into their mad plans for the night!

"All right, folks, this is the Rainbow Dash cartoon I was going to show tonight!" Twilight announces with a smile to the audience. "With Adagio and Aria out of the way, time we show it at last!"

Rainbow Blaze smiles as Rainbow came over to his and Firefly's table, "About time."

"Yeah... Took you long enough to get to that show." Firefly said to her daughter excitedly. "I want to see what cartoon she's making."

"Thanks. And you're gonna love it, mom and dad." Rainbow said proudly. The audience applauds as the final cartoon of the night appears on the screen.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A RAINBOW DASH CARTOON

Rainbow's Grizzily Guest

It is early spring in the Ponystone Park. Animals and bears are still hibernating, but sometimes most would leave to get some nuts and berries. One of those bears in his cave is having trouble sleeping.

Fluttershy's bear friend, Harry, is having trouble trying to get a comfortable spot in his own cave, he has to use a random rock as a pillow! But no matter what happens, the bear cannot sleep at all!

Harry felt a couple of drops on his head, making look up. The cave is leaking...and of course a huge waterfall splashes right onto his head! Make that a big hole in the ceiling! As if that's bad enough, the wind blew Harry flew him to a wall of the cave.

Harry has had enough, he can't live in this cave anymore. The bear needs a place to sleep. When he hears his stomach growling, making him looks down. Harry apparently needs something to eat too. Something has to come by with both of those things, right?

Harry hears a driving sound coming from outside, making him go out. Sure enough, a big RV came in to the area. He's in luck!

Inside the RV is Rainbow Blaze, the father of Rainbow. He and his daughter decided to go out the wild outdoors for some father-daughter bonding time. As they stop by, Rainbow peeks out, smiling as the girl remarks, "Hey, dad! Perfect place to set up our camp!"

"Indeed!" Rainbow Blaze comments as he pushes a button.

As Harry watches on, the RV soon transforms into a log cabin with a nice barnyard. The bear smiles eagerly, one of those new technological mobile homes! Perfect! He watches as Rainbow, a mare that the bear knows whose hangs out with his friend Fluttershy, comes out with her father, both are wearing fisher outfits and holding fishing gears. Looks like the two Pegasi are going fishing!

"Dad, I'm telling you that fishing is not gonna be easy." Rainbow said to her father, commenting on how fishing won't be easy. She should know.

"We shall see, missy. I can guarantee that we'll catch thousands of them." Rainbow Blaze assures his daughter.

Rainbow giggled, "I doubt it."

Harry smirks, waiting until the coast is close. Time to check the place out! The bear sneaks over to the cabin/RV and pulls out a credit card. Don't ask how he got it. Harry put his hand onto the door itself and slides the credit card right past it...only to ends up pulling the door off the hinges when the bear tried to open it!

Harry blinks but goes inside the RV, putting the door back. Oh well, nothing that can't be fixed, right?

Harry turns and gasps at the inside of the RV! It has a kitchen full of food, an entertainment center, and a bedroom upstairs! This place has it all! The bear feels his stomach growling again. Time to eat!

Harry first raids the fridge and eating up some of food. 15 minutes later, he hits the chair, flipping through the channels on the TV.

"Coming up, the Cubs vs. the Bears!" An announcement said on the TV, making Harry changes the channel. "The Three Bear and the Mares who loved them..." The bear changes to the next channel, making him interested. "The Bare Necessities channel!"

15 minutes later, Harry yawns as he got into the bed. The bear is tired. He snuggled in, feeling rested. Nothing can ruin his day now!

Of course, right now at this exact moment, Rainbow and her dad came back from the fishing trip...with mangled rods with a shoe attacked to one of the hooks, a near broken tackle box, and two wet ponies. Yep, their fishing trip was a disaster.

"Told ya." Rainbow remarks to her dad who groans as he threw the fishing rods and tackle box into the garbage.

"Okay, so we aren't good with fishing. We will just have to relax and..." Rainbow Blaze stops, looking concerned as he reaches for the door, but saw that it's a bit off the hinges. "Wait, why is the door hinges broken?"

In concern, the farther and daughter came into the RV and gasps upon seeing the entertainment center now messed up.

"Horse feathers! Somepony has been in our entertainment center!" Rainbow exclaims in shock.

"Someone has been in our kitchen!" Rainbow Blaze exclaims, seeing the ruined kitchen.

Rainbow flew upstairs towards the bedroom, frowning as she spoke, "Somepony has been in our bedroom...and there he is, sleeping in my bed! Ugh, it's Fluttershy's bear pal!" The Pegasus pony flew in and slaps the bear like mad. "Hey, wake up!"

Harry woke up, seeing the angry face of Rainbow...and yelps as he was kicked right out of the cabin/RV.

"AND STAY OUT OF OUR RV, HARRY!" Rainbow exclaims angrily as she fixes the door by the hinges, putting it back into place. "Ugh! I don't know how Fluttershy would put up with him??

Suddenly a knock came at the door just as the two ponies are about to clean the mess up. Rainbow Blaze opens it up, showing Harry on his knees, begging to be let in.

"Sorry, bear, but you got to sleep outside like the other bears!" Rainbow Blaze snaps as he slams the door.

Rainbow Blaze prepares to get to work when another knock came at the door. Rainbow opens it this time, seeing Harry, dressed up like a mare, holding a log with a foal bonnet. The Pegasus pony roll her eyes as she remarks, "Uh, yeah. I know that is just a log. Harry, look! You may be a pal of Fluttershy but we can't let you in here!"

Rainbow slams the door, preparing to head off. But then she hears another knock at the door. Can't that stupid bear take a hint?! The mare opens the door and reveals...Santa Hooves outside, making "Ho Ho Ho" like noises.

"Oh, Santa Hooves!" Rainbow exclaims with a smile as she led "Santa Hooves" in. "Sorry about the mess but we're cleaning it up now."

"Wait, Rainbow! Its summer, Hearth's Warming Eve isn't for a few months!" Rainbow Blaze exclaims, reminding her daughter of the time of the year. "So how could it be..."

Without warning, both ponies are kicked out of the cabin/RV, landing hard on their behinds. The father and daughter groans in irritation. That was no Santa Hooves, that was Harry and he outsmarted Rainbow!

Harry smiles as he prepares to get comfortable, but hears a knock at the door. The bear roll his eyes and goes back to the door, looking around. Upon seeing a package on the doorstep, Harry smiles. A housewarming gift!

Harry left the house, opens the gift and looks inside...but screams in pain as a mousetrap snaps on his nose! Rainbow and her dad, who left the gift, quickly sneaks back into their RV/cabin, satisfied for their trick.

Harry manages to get the mouse trap off after a few minutes, rubbing his nose. The bear frowns, he isn't giving up that easily!

A little later, Rainbow and her dad set the place back to its original glory. The mare groans, "I got to tell Flutershy what Harry was doing!" Suddenly she hears another knock at the door. "Ugh! That stupid bear again!"

Rainbow Blaze then saw a letter falling through the mail slow, making him go over and picks it up. The stallion gasps as he saw the address, "FREE BITS? Yes!"

"Wait, dad! It might be..."

Too late, Rainbow Blaze opens the envelope, and yelps as Harry came out of it, much to his shock. And sure enough, both ponies are kicked out of the RV/cabin, landing near the porch.

"...Harry up to his tricks." Rainbow said to her dad in annoyance. Tricked by Harry the Bear again!

Harry closes the door, smiling. Both ponies knocks the door, crushing the bear as they turned it around, trying to make him go out. But Harry lean over and got in, sending Rainbow and her dad out. Unbelievable!

"LET US IN!" Rainbow exclaims, trying to open the door.

Rainbow and her dad rush over to the windows, but every time they stopped, Harry goes towards them, closing the windows in a couple normal ways. He closes and locks it, putting blinds on the window; boarding a window up, building a brick wall on one, jail celled a window, and put a scientific door closes right on the window.

The Rainbows tried their best to get to the other windows, but the next few times Harry closed a safe door on one, zipped up another and used a string on another door, closing up the window from the outside. By the time that Rainbow and her dad got to the last window, they are panting from exhaustion, where Harry put up a 'Sorry, We're Closed' sign.

"Dad, this is exhausting." Rainbow groans as she and Rainbow Blaze return to the garbage cans. "We got to get Harry out of our house!"

Rainbow Blaze spots the mangled fishing rod, smirking as he got an idea while taking one out. The father said, "All right, Rainbow. I got an idea. We will show him, honey!"

A few minutes later, Harry was in night wear, preparing to sleep. But unknown to him, a fishing hook came down and grabs him by the clothes. The bear was lifted into the air when he woke up, looking confused. Why is he in the air?

Harry saw a fishing hook on his clothes, gasping in shock. Someone is trying to reel him in! The bear tries to run away while Rainbow and her dad tries to hang on. The mare growls, "Keep on trying, dad! We won't let him take our house without a fight!"

Harry climbs his best to climb downstairs, grunting like mad. While outside, the father and daughter kept on pulling, they aren't giving up without a fight. One side is about to give in!

Harry made it to the main control center, grabbing the level which is the control lever on the RV. The Rainbows were able to pull him away, causing Harry to force the stick to 'drive' and breaks it off entirely! Soon Harry was finally pulled out of the RV via the sunroof. Rainbow and her dad didn't have time to get away as the bear lands on them both.

As Rainbow and her dad got out, Rainbow Blaze snaps, "There! Now..."

But then, the trio hears the RV activating thanks to the stick breaking off. When they turn, the vehicle moves on its own very fast, before crashing and exploding in the distance. Rainbow, her dad and Harry stares in shock. Looks like their home of comfort is gone.

"Great, I hope you're happy." Rainbow Blaze remarks bitterly to Harry who gave him a sheepish smile.

"Come on, we're Pegasus ponies." Rainbow reminds her dad with a sigh. "We can just fly home and..." Suddenly thunder is heard as it begins to rain. Everyone groans.

"Ugh! A thunderstorm! We can't fly in this. Now what will we do?"

The trio spots the cave nearby, having a plan....

A while later, Harry, Rainbow, and Rainbow's dad are inside the cave, sleeping on the rock bed per usual. Rainbow sighs, "Well, dad, we will rest in here for tonight and then fly home in the morning."

"Right, as long as something else doesn't happened before then." Rainbow Blaze said as he looks up to the ceiling. "Wait, isn't that a hole in..."

Without warning, a random waterfall came in, splashing both Harry and the ponies. As they got wet literally, Rainbow and Harry glares at Rainbow Blaze for jinxing the moment.

"You had to say it, dad!" Rainbow scowls in irritation to her dad.

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon's over, the audience applauds for that. Another good one out the door!

Sonata is delighted. Her friends had been punished for their wicked deeds, like forcing her to betray Laxtinct and other cruel things. But best of all, the House of Pony folks are giving her and Laxtinct a free spaghetti dinner...just like in Lady and the Tramp!

"Laxitnct, I am so sorry for what I did, really." Sonata said as she eats into her spaghetti.

"I know, I'm sorry for how I reacted too." Laxtinct apologizes right back. Both eaters got the same noodle and kiss each other, making Sonata blush a bit. "Yeah."

"So what are you going to do with Adaio and Aria?"

"No worries. We already got the perfect punishment for them. Heh heh heh."

In the kitchen, the remaining 2 Sirens groans as they have to wash and clean the dishes to pay off their bill for the trouble and such that they gave everyone tonight, and are kept under watch by the Cakes Family.

"Remember, one dish broken and it's added up to your bill, missy!" Mr. Cake exclaims sternly to the two.

"Ugh, why did Sonata get off and we didn't?!" Adagio groans in despair at this.

"It's your fault, Adagio." Aria sighs in irritation. "And I think I broke a nail!"

"Suck it up, stupid human!"

Now back over by the stage, Pinkie happily taps a teacup with a spoon to get everyone's attention. As the audience went silent, Twilight said, "Thanks, Pinkie. Okay, folks, our show is almost over, I'm glad everyone had done well in their human, or whatever they got forms. But before we finish things off, the time has come for our big review! Azure Phoenix, Sunset, Flash? If you be so kind?"

The spotlight lands right on the real critics. Sunset, getting up, smiles as she said, "Hey, of course. As one of the real critics, it is a great honor to give the House of Pony one big recommendation for everyone!"

"Same here, five stars, two thumbs up, and its pleasure being your guest tonight!" Flash exclaims, agreeing with his girlfriend on this.

Azure finishes things off, "I believe it's my turn. As the main leader of critics and representative to Princess Celestia's honor, I'm truly honored to be here. Despite some messes and sudden changes, the House of Pony had remain calm and steady in handling the difficult situation no matter what it takes, unless the customers proved to be problematic. The food proved to be fresh, delicious and good taste. The working and management service proved well indeed. And the show is well narrative. Therefore, I give the House of Pony of being a five-star rating restaurant and approved by yours truly. I am honored."

The audience applauds. Twilight, smiling, exclaims, "Hey, thanks, Lord Phoenix, and thank you everyone! Of course, I couldn't have done it without my faithful friends and crew! All right, Spike, take us out of here!"

"Will do, Twilight!" Spike exclaims, smiling that the show will soon be over and he will be back in his Dragon form come the next show. "The House of Pony review, courtesy of..."

"... Lord Azure's Dining by Master Talent."

We see a still of Azure holding a book which said 'Dining by Master Talent' that has the tag 'Two Thumbs Up' on it.

"Azure Phoenix is known for understanding and make use of ponies or species' talents. Whether it's a romantic café..."

Now we see Azure sitting next to Captain Hoofbeard and mermare Jewel in a romantic café.

"...or a sit at a local Chinese Restaurant. Without some crazy rebels."

Azure was looking outside at some crazy rebels while eating some Chinese food in a Chinese Restaurant.

"Lord Azure reviews everything from cozy and delicious cakes and sweets..."

We see Azure sitting next to Firefly (Gen 1) and Twilight (Gen 1) as Megan is serving some cakes and sweet.

"...to craziest tea parties."

Now we see Rarity and her friends, the Gen 3, splashing a lot of tea around while Azure is writing down something in his food. Now we see a still of Azure holding his book once more.

"It's Lord Azure's Dining by Master Talent. He's your guest, but be prepared for his judgment." Spike then adds in a low voice, "A little warning - be careful of what you're doing coz Lord Azure had a bad temper of betrayal and deceives on him."

Everyone applauds as Twilight finishes things off as she exclaims, "All right, until next time, I am giving you thumbs up for now!" The girl holds up two thumbs for a moment before putting them down with a chuckle. "Until next time, see ya!"

House of Pony: Season 2

Episode Eighteen: Lance's New Car

Thanks to the good reviews of Azure Phoenix, Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry, more folks came in to visit the House of Pony that Twilight and her friends are happy to give out. The Dazzlings didn't give out any further trouble, since Sonata is happily innocent and Adagio and Aria paid off their bill, but chose to stay away from the club for a while.

The gang, now back to their original selves, continue on with the club activities. Thanks to the club running so well, Twilight and her friends decided that it's time to do a show related to special themes in hopes to attract more customers to the House of Pony. Lance Justicestrike, who is taking Shining Armor's place as car valet while he is busy with his duties in the Crystal Empire, suggested that the first theme be cars.

The idea was approved as it was run with for this show. And trust me, folks, it was a doozy especially when the P.M. version of Shadow Dragon was taking Pinkie Pie's place as waitress while she was throwing a lot of parties that night...

Spike grins as he spoke to the audience, "Mares and gentle-colts, start your engines for...TWILIGHT SPARKLE!

The audience applauds as Twilight arrives on stage. She exclaims, "Good evening, ponies and everything else! Since Spike references cars, how about the car parking valet, huh? He's the one pony I know who doesn't own a car or has a ride, but still drive the hippiest wheels in town. Taking the place of my brother while Shining Armor is working on his job as Prince of the Crystal Empire is my nephew from the P.M. world Lance Justicestrike! So let's take a look!"

In the backstage, Ben spoke to Applejack via his headset, "Applejack, put it on my nephew."

"Roger 'dat!" Applejack exclaims as she presses a button to turn on the camera for outside the club.

The screen now shows Lance Justicestrike at the entrance doing Shining's job while he's out. The mare calls out, "Hey, Lance!"

"Hey, my stepmom's TUPGVerse Version!" Lance exclaims, waving to the TUPGVerse Version of his step-mom.

"Care to introduce any cars to us?"

Lance smiles as he motions to someone coming in on Grimlock from Transformers. As the rider got off, Lance smiled as he comments, "Now that's what I call a 'Dino Ride'. Did you know that the G1 or any animated series never gave the idea of a robot riding a Dino robot? Coz it never happen before Michael Bay gave the crazy but best idea! Isn't that right, Grimlock from the Movie?"

Grimlock transformed from his Cybertronian T-Rex into his robot mode. He roared wildly before entering the House of Pony restaurant.

A few moments later, Lance motions to a group of cars, all of them are Bumblebee, also from the Transformers franchise with fives versions of him. With a smile, Lance comments, "And here's one of fans' favorite characters - Bumblebee. From Bug Volkswagen to the muscle modern car Camaro. Isn't that right folks?"

As the Autobots transforms, Bumblebee (G1) spoke, "You've got it. I admit it. Both Movie Version and Prime Versions got the best vehicles. I'm so proud of my kids.”

Bumblebee (Movie) salutes as he said, "Won't let you down, Bee-G."

Bumblebee (Prime) remarks, "You bet. And besides. War for Cybertron Version is still your hot form."

Bumblebee (WOC) remarks, "But the best of all, we've got your traits. That's the secret."

Bumblebee (Animated) agrees, "You bet. All is us are the best." Everyone gave odd looks at him. "What?! What is that everyone looking at me for?! Don't blame me! Blame Derrick! He made me what I am."

A few moments later, various versions of Optimus Prime drove in before transforming. Lance proudly announces, "And here's the best, everyone. The very first but classic mode for Optimus Prime - a truck. Did you know why he always choose that form in every animated or movie version that came after G1? It symbolize the leadership and hero. And of course, that's what makes him the only Autobot to carry his same vehicle. Am I right or wrong?"

All Optimus Prime (G1, Movie, Animated Unicron Trilogy and Prime Version) versions answers, "You are absolutely right, Lance, we are honored."

Now to come to the House of Pony are the Decepticions in their giant warship, and trust me, folks. There's a lot of them, versions and all. This is turning into one big parking lot!

Lance whistled in amazement, "Now that's what I call a giant warship, it transport thousands of Decepticons to anywhere they want. And here's the surprise tip - Nemesis is Tryoticon. And funny thing is that Megatron's G1 Old Mode is a gun before a tank or jet took over. I would laugh at that."

The Megatrons (G1, Unicron Trilogy, Movie and Prime Version) angrily demands, "I beg your pardon - what was that?!"

Starscream screamed, "Incoming!"

Lance hears an engine revving and looks up to see 4-Speed in his race car vehicle laughing madly as he drove past the Transformers and Lance, going through the club's doors. Lance, recovering, groans, "That...would be 4-Speed from the Gen 1 era."

"Welcome to my...GAH! NOT AGAIN!" Rainbow screams as she ducks for cover while 4-Speed drove right over her.

4-Speed drove past Rarity's desk, making the unicorn snaps angrily, "Hey! This isn't a drive-thru, darling!"

4-Speed laughs through the dining area like a lunatic, freaking out the animals and spinning Fluttershy around. The mare, recovering, ask, "Uh, was that order to go?"

Shadow Dragon (P.M.), who is substituting for Pinkie while she is busy with parties, has had enough. Time to put a stop to it.

"Dragoking, Strike Tail on that vehicle." Shadow Dragon (P.M.) orders. Dragoking roared wildly as he swung his tail right at the race car while 4-Speed came out and was thrown straight to the walls hard. "Good boy..."

Twilight cringes a bit from the stage, that's gotta hurt. The mare shrugs as she said, "Well, if you folks hadn't figure it out yet, today is Car Day, so this is a drive in for cars and anything else you drive or ride with! Buckle up and strap yourselves because you will so car crazy over today's cartoons, Doctor Hooves's Car Tips, and, after not getting them 3 times in a row far, we are having the performance of the Cleveland Bays! For now though, let's rev it up for the Cutie Mark-Works!"

The audience applauds while the Cutie Mark Crusaders, now a new band, are playing on synthesizers.

Fluttershy came over to Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg (fictional versions of themselves), speaking, "Hello, I'm Fluttershy and I will be your waiter tonight. What would you two like to order?"

"Our usual. E.T. Soda with a Twist of Lemon." Steven Spielberg orders to Fluttershy.

"As well as the Transforming Cherry!" Michael Bay orders to the mare on what he wants.

"Coming, sirs." Fluttershy said. She flew off for a moment then came back with the teams for Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg. So far, this looks like a good night so far.

Though for a certain Mystic Pony, that isn't the case. Lance was in the parking lot, watching the cars as the Humans leaves. Sam Witwicky remarks, "Our Autobots pals are awesome throughout their franchise."

Cade Yeager nods as he and the Humans leaves, adding, "I know. I will be glad when the next movie comes out for them too."

Lance sighed, "What cool wheels, especially my dad and Dragoking. They're the best..."

Just then, Teenage Nyx (P.M.) came up, asking, "And it's okay for you not to have one?" Lance is startled a bit but calms down upon seeing who it is.

"Oh hey, sis. Didn't see you coming."

"Didn't mean to startle you. But I overheard what you said. You want a car or a ride so badly, don't you?"

Lance concerned ask, "Me? Why would I need it for? I can fly without any transport." The Mystic Pony look at her sister's glaring eyes. "Okay. I do want one so badly. I want to have at least a partner or companion like the Transformers or my dad and Dragoking, They're the best."

"Lance... If you want it so badly, why not have your own?" Nyx (P.M.) suggests to her brother. "Besides, you're older than me like a 900 years old pony."

"Yeah... You're right! I should get one. And I know who to ask. And by the way, Nyx - I'm 700 years old."

Lance heads into the club and was going near the kitchen, Shadow Dragon was coming in and out with various dishes, doing his best not to fall.

"Dad!" Lance calls out to Shadow Dragon.

"Yeah, son?" Shadow Dragon ask while passing by him with an order, coming back.

"Any chance you got a minute?"

"Sure, go ahead, son! I am here if you wanna talk to me about something."

The P.M. version of Shadow Dragon goes back into the kitchen, coming out with an order. Lance breathes in as he speak, "I was wondering..."

"About what?" Shadow Dragon ask, wondering what his son wants while coming right back after giving the meal to a guest..

"Will you buy me a car?"

Shadow Dragon was about to enter the kitchen when what his son said made him stop, then turn to Lance in surprise. His son wanted a car?

"A car? You mean as in what humans usually drive?" Shadow Dragon ask Lance in surprise and concern.

"Or at least a ride like you and Dragoking." Lance adds to his father with a hopeful smile.

"Well, not sure, Lance. A car or a ride are big responsibilities to have. You must be responsible like me."

Suddenly the animals came out with orders, knocking Shadow Dragon down while coming out of the kitchen. Lance cringes a bit. That's gotta hurt.

"I know...but dad..." Lance said to his father in concern.

"Look, you got to at least prove you are responsible to have your own car or ride and..." Shadow Dragon then sighs a bit. "Look, give me time to think about it, okay?"

"Dad, when it comes to fighting, he's excellent. When it comes to thinking though? Not always good."

Lance sighs, heading off while getting a bit nervous. He hopes that his dad would let him have a car or a ride, but Shadow Dragon is mostly on the negative side of things. Lance can only hope that he will get what he wants tonight.

"Well another night and it revolves around cars and vehicles." Golden Heart said, commenting on the theme for this show.

Pinkamena nods as she adds, "Yep and also, seems Lance wants a car; who knows what will happen but for now on with the show."

On the stage, Twilight pretends to sniff around, while asking, "Hey, folks? You smell that? I believe it's the smell...of a new cartoon!"

The audience laughs, applauding as the first cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A TWILIGHT SPARKLE CARTOON

Twilight's New Car

Inside the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Castle, Twilight was busy writing in a book as she hums the "My Little Pony" theme song. The mare looks at the clock then smiles. It's almost noon, she can't be late!

Twilight teleports over to the phone and picks it up, dialing a number. The mare waits as she puts the phone to her ear. The familiar voice of Ben is heard picking up the phone, "Hey, hello?"

"Hey, Ben. You ready for our date?" Twilight ask Ben happily. The stallion is at Applejack's, helping her out at the farm.

"I should be done with helping Applejack. Try not to be late like the last time, okay?"

"Last time was a fluke. I will be right over." Twilight said with a smile as she hangs up, preparing to leave. "I will use the car this time. It will make getting over to Sweet Apple Acres in no time."

Big mistake, folks that Twilight ended up regretting a few minutes later. The mare is driving along the roads. She noticed that her car is about to break down, especially since the fender kept falling off by the rope. Twilight has to push a button to get the fender back up.

Of course, when the car came to a complete stop at a stop sign, Twilight felt her tires going flat. The vehicle, along with her, flew upwards for a moment before breaking down.

"Come on, oh come on, I'm going to be late!" Twilight groans a bit. She would've used her wings to fly but the mare wanted to pick up Ben in style. The mare got out, head to the front of the car and lifts the hood, yelping as smoke came out. Twilight gasps as some oil squirting out, landing on one of her wings. "Oh horse feathers! The car was working fine two months ago! Now, I got flat tires, dented fenders and there's oil on my wing! I can't take Ben out with that old broken down thing. What should I do? I don't want to fly with no style!"

Suddenly, the car radio is turned on by itself as if by magic, "Hey there! Did your old car went and left you stranded on the way to your big date?"

"Yes?"

"Having flat tires, dented fenders, even squirting oil on your shoe?"

"Wing." Twilight corrects the radio.

"Right, wing." The radio corrected itself as Twilight uses her magic to make a cloth wipe the oil right off.

"You betcha it does."

"Well, why not trade that broken down piece of junk for a new car? Not wanting to fly to your date with no style?"

Twilight pauses, then smiles a bit. She could fly or teleport to Sweet Apple Acres, even when her car is broken down. But the mare wants to pick up her colt-friend in style.

"Well, you know what? That's what I'm going to do, by getting myself a new car!" Twilight announces as she wrote down the address of the place that radio suggested to go to. This will be perfect!

Twilight drove all the way, the best she could anyway, and drove up a hill to where the car lot on the address. Upon arrival, the princess got out of the car, excitedly. Though Twilight sighs as she looks back at the broken down car. The mare felt a bit guilty, abandoning her old car which brought a lot of memories.

But it didn't last long as the car is still broken down and leaking. Twilight frowns, her mind is made up. Time for a new car or pick up Ben by flying!

Twilight proceeds to go inside the place and trade in her old car for a new one. The manager gave the princess half off for being royal which she happily pays with no problem, then got the instructions to the new car that Twilight will be having.

Twilight came out of the building, smiling as she saw it with a gasp: the shiny red car that is sitting in front of the parking lot. Upon getting closer, the Alicorn saw the car door opening up all by itself.

"That manager guy wasn't kidding when he told me that this car is so ahead of its time. Amazing!" Twilight exclaims as she jumps into the driver's seat, feeling the steering wheel. To her further amazement, the car buckles the princess and it started all by itself, driving off. "Wow, this car is much better than the old one! Check out all the neat gadgets!"

Twilight pushes a button while saying, "Surround Sound!" Without warning, the mare yelps as various instruments plays all around her for a brief moment. Once it stops, the princess groans while recovering, "Well, must be in the works. Let's see...'Salon-O-Matic'. May as well give it a shot."

Twilight pushes the button, causing a mane salon machine to come down on her hair. Once it's done, the mare now has a nice blonde mane with a bow. The princess remarks, "Must be for mare drivers, ironic since I'm a mare. Well, I will see if Rarity will want a shot at it later."

As Twilight got the mane, which is really a wig, off, she spots another button, making her say, "Cool. A convertible too!" Twilight pushes the button to bring the hood down, only for it to automatically go up again. "Huh? Maybe I didn't do it right."

Twilight tries again to bring the hood down, only for it to go up once more. The mare pushes the button again various times as the hood kept going up and down. Upon stopping at a spotlight, the princess saw the driver nearby as the hood goes up and down. The driver, known as Jeff Letrotski, gave the mare a confused look, causing Twilight to chuckle nervously.

"Err, automatic." Twilight explains sheepishly. Jeff blinks as the light turns green, allowing him to drive on his way.

Twilight decides to get going herself. The mare saw another button labeled 'Climate Control'. Probably the conditioner for heat and cold so the princess try it out. But then she herself got pretty got as the car went on fire. This causes the Alicorn to push the button, only for a rainstorm to appear, much to her frustration. What the hay is up with this thing?

Twilight pushes the button, resulting in a windstorm to appear inside the vehicle, making her lose brief control of the car for a moment. The Alicorn was able to push the button once more, causing snow to be summoned inside by the time she stopped at the next spotlight.

Ironically, Jeff was still on the same road next to her, looking over at the car now covered in snow. Twilight, freezing, chuckles nervously to the stallion saying, "Good air conditioning. Right?"

Jeff just blinks as he drives on. The less he knows what the Princess of Friendship does, the better!

A few minutes later, once Twilight recovered from the car freeze, the mare drives along the road once more, relaxing. She kept looking for new buttons to experiment on in her new car.

Rainbow spots a sign on the vehicle which said 'Enter Destination'. The mare, smiling, said, "Well, time to pick up Ben. I know he's at Sweet Apple Acres. Time to make it quick like Rainbow Dash!"

Rainbow types in 'Sweet Apple Acres' and pushed the 'Make it Quick' button. But to her alarm, the car begins going up to the speed of Rainbow, driving very fast. Twilight yelps as her vehicle goes into a one way tunnel. It put a virtual reality helmet on the princess’s head, passing very vehicle and going around before flying right out of the tunnel.

The vehicle kept on hopping onward before it stops right at the next stoplight where, surprise surprise, Jeff is at. And Twilight ends up inside the hood of the car as she got out with a dizzy look. After shaking herself, Twilight ponders what caused her new vehicle to stop.

There's her answer: Twilight saw a dime on the road, picking it up with her magic and showing it to Jeff, joking, "Hey, a dime. My vehicle really did stopped on it." The bowling stallion just blinks and kept going. The mare shrugs, then gasps, "Yikes! I'm late for my date, I gotta get going!"

Twilight jumps back into the car and prepares to hit the gag, but frowns upon noticing that the vehicle isn't moving at all.

"Ugh! Stupid vehicle! What's wrong with you?!" Twilight demands angrily. She thought it was a good idea to have this car, but all it does is give her car trouble!

Twilight notices that the fuel gauge was low, making her groans. Great! She needs to refill!

It was a few minutes later as Twilight pushes her new car into the gas station. The attendant, Big Macintosh, who is volunteering at the place, just sat there, minding his own business.

"Hey, Big Mac." Twilight said to Big Mac who just stared on.

"Hey." Big Macintosh said, chewing on his straw, making Twilight frown.

"Look, don't say anything, okay? I know what you're thinking? Why would a princess of Equestria wanted to get a new car when her old one was perfectly fine or she could fly or teleport? Right? Well, my old car wasn't fine! I can't take Ben out in that broken up thing. This car is better. Also, I wanted to take my colt friend out in style which is why I am not even flying or teleporting! So I rather not hear one word from you about it, got it?"

"Nnope."

Twilight trots over to the car, pushing a button on the outside causing a pop to come out. Twilight, smiling, said, "Electric. Very smart." The mare took the plug with her mouth and pulls it, looking for someplace to plug this thing in. The mare goes around the stallion who just yawns a bit while Twilight walks over him, literally. "Don't get up, Big Mac."

"Nnope." Big Macintosh remarks with a shrug. Twilight looks around until she spots an outlet on the side of the station.

"Ah, there we go!"

Twilight hums as she puts the plug into the outlet. And sure enough, the car is charged up in no time. Unfortunately, the stick is on drive and it went off immediately. The Alicorn screams as she held onto the cord as best as she could, the car begins turning all over the place, sending Twilight into some trees and hitting various fence posts before ending up in the back seat of her car, landing right in the foal seat which locks her in and stuck a bottle right in her mouth. How embarrassing!

Twilight teleports to the driver's seat, snapping. "Hey, stop it! I had have enough of you! Now let me drive!" The mare grabs the steering wheel...and pulls it right off, much to her shock. "Not good."

The car drove into a construction area as it begins running over signs which reads as follows...

"Stop!"

"Danger!"

"Turn Around!"

"Yield!"

"Hey!"

"These Signs!"

"Are Expensive!"

"So Stop!"

"Running!"

"Over!"

"Them!"

Now the princess and her car flew off the bridge, landing right in the water, turning into a submarine-speed boat. Twilight in a panic screams as she saw that the vehicle is about to go over a cliff. Luckily or unluckily, the car turns into a jet that flew up the cliff, landing right on the road.

Eventually, looks like even the car had have enough of Twilight as it opens the door and threw her out. The mare got up as the vehicle closes the door right in front of her.

"What are you doing?! You can't drive without a driver!" Twilight protests angrily to her new car.

To Twilight's disbelief, the 'Automatic Driver' Button was pressed on. As a result, the car drove off very fast, most likely never to be seen again.

Twilight groans angrily. Well, perhaps it's a good thing that crazy car is gone, it caused her nothing but trouble! Perhaps wings and magic is the way to go after all! But the princess sighs sadly as she looks up to the sky. It is now turning yellow. Hoo boy, Twilight is definitely late for her date with Ben, and now her new car is gone.

"Well, I can always get my old car back." Twilight said as she begins to fly off to the car lot. The manager did told the princess that she can always get it back if Twilight herself isn't satisfied with her new ride.

The sky turned orange and is at a late sunset by the time Twilight arrived at the car lot where she got rid of her old car a few hours later. The mare heads over to the spot where she left it. But to her sadness, Twilight saw that her old car is now gone. It was either bought or gotten rid of.

"Oooh, what have I done?" Twilight ask in sadness and regret. "You have been an old broken down car...but at least you're my old broken-down car, now you're gone..."

Twilight sighs in sadness, feeling bad. She didn't just got rid of a car, she got rid of a good friend too.

But then, to her confusion, Twilight hears a familiar roar, huff and puff of her car. The mare turned asking, "Huh?"

"Hey, Twiley, over here!" A familiar voice calls. To Twilight's surprise and happiness, there's Ben in her old car, driving right over to the princess.

"Ben! You brought my old car! How?"

"Oh, well, Applejack wanted me to pick up some tractor parts for the family's new tractor, though why she got one when the family preferred to do it the old fashioned way is beyond me, so I came here to get some. Imagine my surprise when I saw this car in the lot and found out you sold it, getting a new car out of the whole thing. I decided to buy your old car and fix it up as a surprise. So where is your new car anyway?"

"Long story, it went rogue." Twilight said in embarrassment but sigh in relief. "Still, I missed my old car more."

"Well, you had your old car back now, so after our date, we will get this thing fixed up good as new." Ben said, kissing Twilight on the cheek, causing the mare to smile. "So, ready for our big date now?"

"You betcha I would, honey!"

The couple drove off in the car. It is still broken down a bit and leaking oil...but as far as Twilight is concerned, she got one of her old friends back. That's all that matters.

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon's over, the audience applauds once more. They love that one!

In the backstage, Nyx giggles as she turns to her mother, saying, "Wow, that's a good one. Though I can't help but be curious: what happened to that new car anyway?"

"I don't know and I don't wanna know!" Twilight exclaims angrily. "That car was nothing but nothing! I hope it stays away as far away from me!"

As Lance continues waiting around outside, doing his task while waiting for his father to make up his mind, a car pulled up. Unknown to the Mystic Pony, this was the very same automatic car from that short that everyone just watched.

Lance looks at the car as it opens. The pony grins as he exclaims, "Awesome! Now this is a car!" Lance couldn't resist getting into the driver's seat to check the car out. But without warning, the Mystic Pony is buckled in with the car starring on his own. Lance gulps, "Oh, horse apples..."

Lance can only scream as the car drove off, taking the hostage with it!

On stage, Spike grins as he announces, "All right, time for Car Tips with Dr. Hooves!"

The audience applauds as they watch Dr. Hooves on stage. He grins while saying, "Thank you, Spike! Today, I will show you how to turn a regular car into a black metal Dragon!" The Doctor goes over to the car and claps his hooves. Soon the car transforms into a huge black Dragon! "Yes. The Dragon will be so fast, it will get there before you would even leave! Now, observe."

Dr. Hooves motions to the right as Metalgear, his assistant when he was making it, appears, saying, "Greetings, flesh ponies! I was picked by the black metal Dragon, and Dr. Hooves didn't even left yet! Pretty fast, right?"

Suddenly 4-Speed laughs madly as he hops onto the Dragon, kicking it while saying, "Sweet! A car made into a Dragon!"

The Dragon quickly turns back into a Dragon. Dr. Hooves yelps, "Hey, stop! That isn't your car or Dragon! Get out of there!"

Dr. Hooves and Metalgear jumps into the car, but 4-Speed hits the gas, causing the vehicle to leave the stage, taking the trio with it with a huge roar.

Shadow Dragon needs some opinions, trying to think of his decision of whatever he should let Lance have a car or ride or not. So the PM version has a word with his family near the desk area.

"I still don't think Lance is responsible enough to handle his on ride." Shadow Dragon said with a concerning frown.

Nyx (PM) insists, "Daddy... Lance can handle it. After all, he's 700 years old as you are."

Teenage Spike (PM) nods as he backs Nyx (PM) up, "She's right. Come on, dad. Just give him a ride. He deserve it."

"Besides, you worry too much. He did well of being older brother to his siblings. He can't be all that bad." The PM version of Twilight said to her love with a giggle.

Iris Crystal nodded as she said, "Just give him a chance. I'm sure he can handle it."

"How do you stop this crazy thing?!" Lance screams in panic, trying his best to use the steering wheel but it won't work. This car has a mind of its own!

Lance drove through a red light, forcing Trixie to stop her trailer in time. The mare peeks her head out, yelling, "This is why Trixie doesn't trust wheels!"

In the backstage area, Shadow Dragon is asking the other Twilight and Ben for opinions of their own.

"Relax, we know Lance is a very mature and responsible colt." Twilight said to Shadow Dragon with a giggle. "Your son is growing up after all."

"Right, I can vouch for that. Lance could take care of a car or a ride." Ben said with a nod. "He drives really safe for a Mystic Pony."

Lance yelps as his mad drive drove inside a random hotel, go up the stairs and went out onto the roof before being send flying. The stallion screams as he is about to make a crash landing.

"All right, Cleveland Bays. You guys will be on after the next cartoon." Ben said to the Cleveland Bays who got their instruments ready.

"Right, awesome! Looks like we get to perform, guys!" Chain Link exclaims to his band with a smirk. After the last few times ended up in failure, the Cleveland Bays will finally perform.

At her table, Pinkamena comments, "You know, I have a feeling that car will show itself; my senses are going off."

"How so?" Golden Heart ask. A loud crash is heard, catching him by surprise as Pinkamena held up something. Rubble bounced off it and she puts it away.

"I knew it come; well, brother, let's see if we can help out our friends ok?"

"Ok."

They both get up and head to where they heard the crash. In the backstage area, we saw the same car that crashed through a wall, and breaking the instruments much to the dismay of the Cleveland Bays.

"Ugh, forget this. Come on, we're outta here, gang." Chain Link said to his band with a groan.

A car drove past as Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are at the wheel. The Cleveland Bays got in as Michael remarks, "All right, next stop: to whatever movie I am making!"

"Ugh, I can't believe it. Not this car!" Twilight groans, recognizing the same car that gave her trouble in the first cartoon.

"So much for our musical act." Ben said with a sigh of disappointment.

Nyx, Spike and Phobos came in with Pinkamena and Golden Heart. The Dragon calls out, "Hey, what's happened?"

"Hey, is that the car from..." Nyx begins to speak as the car opens up, allowing a familiar Mystic Pony to come out, shaken.

"Lance?" The group ask in surprise as Lance came out in worry.

"Uncle Ben! Twilight from JusSonic! It’s not my fault! Really! It’s this crazy car!" Lance explains frantically, motioning to the crazy car that gave him trouble.

"What the heck is going on over there?" Shadow Dragon is heard, making Lance gasps in horror. If his dad sees this, the colt may as well forget getting a car or ride period!

"It's dad! He's going lose his temper when he sees this!"

"Don't worry, Lance. Leave everything to me and Uncle Ben." Twilight assures her PM nephew, patting Lance on the shoulder.

"We won't let him see this." Ben said in agreement.

"Give me a wall." Pinkamena said thoughtfully. "A fake one."

Now a couple of moments later, the gang set up a wall to hide the crashed wall. Shadow Dragon came in with Dragoking in tow.

"Oh hey, Shadow Dragon!" Phobos exclaims meekly to Shadow Dragon. "How are ya?"

"We were just hanging with my nephew from another world, talking with him." Twilight said to Shadow Dragon with a sheepish smile.

Dragoking gave out a suspicious growl. Shadow Dragon, frowning, demands, "What's with the wall? I don't recall seeing that here before."

"I set it up." Pinkamena said happily. "Sounds pretty neat, building a wall."

"Right, not like we're hiding anything or something." Spike adds awkwardly, making the others groan at him. "What?"

Dragoking approached the empty wall and sniffed carefully. Ben quickly kick his face hard while exclaiming, "Back off, snake face!"

Dragoking roared in anger as he fired His Mystic Dragon Flame at Ben. The son of Celestia dodged down while the fire hit the wall, destroying it and revealing the broken car, much to the horror of the ones in the know.

"What is this?" Shadow Dragon demands as he glares at the crashed car right on the wall.

"Err, a new decoration?" Nyx ask Shadow Dragon, giving out a sheepish smile.

"A pile of junk we're collecting?" Spike ask Shadow Dragon, hoping that he would buy that excuse.

"A hope that we won't get killed anytime soon?" Phobos ask with a meekish smile. Dragoking roars in annoyance. "What?"

Shadow Dragon screamed in fury, "What the Tartarus is this?" His eyes are glued at Lance who shudders his hooves nervously. "Lance Justicestrike, I'm truly disappointed in you."

"Dad, please. This isn't what you think!" Lance insists to his father frantically.

"Right, Lance saw the car when it drove up, he got in it for a few seconds and it came to life, took him to a drive!" Pinkamena exclaims happily. However, that made Shadow Dragon frown deeper and angrily.

"Good idea, not working." Golden Heart said to his sister with a sigh, shaking his head.

"Enough! I don't want to hear it. You're not getting a car or a ride." Shadow Dragon snaps as he storms off with Dragoking growling while following his owner.

Lance looks down as the others look at him in sadness. So much for getting a car or a ride.

Back on stage, Twilight grins as she spoke, "All right. Now for a cartoon with the brand new, washed shine!'

The audience applauds as the next cartoon of the night starts.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A TWILIGHT SPARKLE, RAINBOW DASH AND PINKIE PIE CARTOON

Car Washers

Inside the Friendship Rainbow Kigndom castle, Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie got a new job occupation. Whenever they aren't on adventures or doing problems involving friendship, they decided to run businesses, by changing their jobs every months even though they got original one. This time? They are car washers.

Inside, the trio are happily sleeping at the table when the phone woke them up. Twilight gasps, "the phone!'

"Ooooh, let me get it!" Pinkie exclaims as she happily grabs the phone and speaks into the receiver. "Hello? Hello? Anypony there?"

"Let go!" Rainbow exclaims angrily. Turns out Pinkie grabbed the Pegasus pony by mistake and is using one of her wings as a telephone receiver.

"Huh? Sorry?"

"Pinkie, let go!"

"Can't understand you! You're starting to sound like my friend Rainbow Dash." Pinkie said, still not realizing her mistake. Rainbow, getting fed up, hits her friend on the head, making the Earth Pony let go. "Owie! Silly Pegasus phones!"

"Let me get it." Twilight said as she uses her magic to pick up the phone which is inside a bucket. "Hey. Princess Twilight Sparkle of Car Washer, we wash cars!"

It was a few moments later as the trio, in their work clothes, arrives at the parking lot of a corporation owned by Filthy Rich. Once they stopped their truck, the mares got out and salutes the impatient business pony.

"Ugh, about time you all got here!" Filthy Rich snaps impatiently. "My car is right over there and it's a big mess!"

Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie saw the car: a red convertible...but they look confused as the vehicle looks sparkly clean. It can't be dirty, can it?

"Uh, Mr. Rich? It looks clean to me." Twilight said puzzled.

"Oh, looks clean, is it?" Filthy Rich ask with a sarcastic chuckle. He then grabs Twilight and points her to certain spots on his car. "Well, what do you call that?! There's a spot there! And there, and there! And even there!"

Twilight now saw what Filthy Rich's referring to: there're spots right on the car! The business pony snaps while frowning, "Does that look clean to you?!'

"Ye...well, no, sir." Twilight said, shaking her head. "And you shouldn't have to be like that. I don't recall you acting like your daughter!'

"Well, sorry, but when it comes to my car, I got reasons to be upset! Now listen up, in a couple of minutes, that horn will blow." Filthy Rich points to a nearby horn nearby. "Once it does, I will be on my lunch break! And in 45 minutes, it will blow again, which means I will be back! I want this car spotless by the time I do get back from my lunch break! And if isn't by the time I do, well, come on! Ask me what I would do if the car isn't spotless."

"Okie dokie lokie! What are you going to do if the car isn't spotless?" Pinkie ask Filthy Rich curiously.

"THIS!" Filthy Rich snaps as he stomps on a bucket, crushing it like a bug and making Twilight and Rainbow shudder a bit.

"Eeek! That bucket has kicked the bucket!"

"That won't mean I will be crushing you, oh no. I am going to sue you girls and your Friendship Rainbow Kingdom for the spots!" Filthy Rich snaps. The business pony is threatening a big law suit if anything happens to his car, like spots or worst! The horn then blows meaning that it's now lunch time. "All right, I will see you girls after lunch!"

Filthy Rich leaves, making the girls nod as they watch him go. Twilight's group must get this car cleaned or else the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom won't survive a lawsuit!

The trio got to work. Rainbow hums as she carries a sponge and a bucket of soapy water over to the girl. The Pegasus put the bucket down before putting the sponge inside the bucket. But as Rainbow checks the car, she is startled as the sponge absorbed all the water! Hoo boy.

Rainbow groans as she take the sponge to squeeze all the water out until it is normal again. The Pegasus pony with a smile put the sponge aside to get another bucket of soapy water, but to her surprise, the sponge just absorb all the water on the ground, causing it to puff once more.

"Oh, a wise pony, eh?" Rainbow ask in irritation.

Rainbow grabs the sponge, causing it to spray water right into her mouth and eyes. The mare recovers and tries, but that causes bubbles to appear on her head., The mare frowns as she got rid of the bubbles, though her work hat float away on one of them.

Rainbow frowns as she flew at the sponge and hits it, but the thing attacked by sending water at her. In annoyance, the Pegasus pony then knocked the sponge over before going after the thing and grabbed it. Too bad the sponge slips into her coat, causing her to be shrunk down, much to Rainbow's shock and confusion.

Rainbow yells as she tries shaking to get rid of the sponge. It managed to go right into the air and into her mouth, inflating her to be big just as her hat fell right back onto her head. How embarrassing!

Pinkie meanwhile was working on cleaning a spot off with her rag, only to see the spot now on the rag. The mare gasps, "My good rag!" The Earth Pony uses her hoof in hopes to wipe the spot off, but saw it now on her hoof. "My good hoof!" Pinkie now uses her left hoof in hopes to get rid of the spot, only for THAT hoof to now have it. "My other good hoof! Hey!"

Pinkie got to work on wiping the spot on her left lower leg, then to her right one before moving up to her neck. The mare has got to get rid of that spot! Pinkie soon wipe the spot on her flank, trying to remove it from cheek to cheek. To Pinkie's surprise, the spot somehow disappear!

"Hey, the spot's gone! Spot, here's spot!" Pinkie exclaims randomly as she looks for the spot. To her surprise, there's spot that somehow came to life, hopping back to the pink pony who caught it with her hooves. "Gotcha!" Pinkie then hammers onto the spot until it's back onto the car. "All right, stay there, little guy!"

Rainbow, recovered from the sponge incident, groans, "Pinkie. We had to get the spots off the car, remember?"

"We are?"

"Wow, one tough spot." Twilight remarks as she flies off the hood of the car, failing to get rid of a spot. "Time for the buffer. Would've used magic but I tried that already."

Twilight came back with an electric buffer and got to work. She turns the thing on...and held on tightly as the machine begins buffering all over the place! It buffered the sky, background and everything. Everything has been buffered...

All but spot which Pinkie happily points out, "Oopsie! I think you missed one!"

As everything is back to normal (sort of), the mares groan while pacing. So far, Twilight and her friends can't get rid of those spots. Worst yet, lunch is almost over and that horn is going to blow at any given moment!

"There must be a way to get rid of these spots!" Twilight sighs a bit, worried. "There must be a simpler way, but how?" Pinkie paced the other way for a moment, then goes back to her friends. The Alicorn smiles, having an idea. "Hang on! We will use the last minute resort!'

Her friends nod, knowing what their leader mean. Twilight takes a remote control out and presses a button. Their car is turned into an automatic car washer! Rainbow and Pinkie smiles in approval. The car wash is used as a last resort, so hopefully this will get rid of those spots once and for all.

Once the car is put onto the conveyor belt, Twilight activates the automatic car wash as she say, "Mr. Rich's car will be fixed in no time and the kingdom won't have to go through a lawsuit!"

Pinkie sighs as she prepares to lean down. Unknown to the Earth Pony however, she is about to lean on a level...in fact, the mare just did turning the setting from 'Wash Car' to 'Destroy Car', causing the machine to change the gadgets into sharp objects. The automatic car washer also doubles as a way of getting rid of cars for junkyards.

"Yeah, that was...huh? Hey, what just happened?" Pinkie ask in confusion as she saw the car destroyer was activated. The pink pony yelps as she saw that the car washer has been changed somehow. "Uh oh!"

"YIKES!" Rainbow and Twilight screams as they flew over. They got to get that car out of the conveyor belt before...

Too late, the car was sent really fast into the sharp objects. The trio of mares cringe as they heard crunching sounds of the vehicle being destroyed. They rush over to the other side to see the results: a ruined car. Not good!

To make matters worse, Twilight's group heard the horn blowing off as they look at it. They can imagine Filthy Rich's head taking its place, snapping, "And if isn't by the time I do, THIS!"

The group can hear a sound of a bucket squashing, making the mares yelp. And if a bucket isn't crushed, then a lawsuit will happen!

"Yikes! Filthy Rich is going to come back at any second!" Rainbow exclaims in horror.

"And he will crush another bucket!" Pinkie exclaims randomly, missing the point.

"Worst, he will sue the coat off the kingdom!" Twilight exclaims. She needs a solution and fast. The mare set the car washer back to 'car wash' before checking on the remains. Then she smiles as an idea came into her head. Twilight got out a wheelbarrow and uses her magic to quickly put the ruins right into the wheelbarrow itself. As she pushes it, Twilight calls, "You two, stay here and I will be right back!"

Her friends looks confused, what is Twilight going to do? The mare rush over to a garage next door, selling the parts for bit. Next, the princess flew over to a car lot and brought a car that almost look like Filthy Rich's! It could work...

...except for one thing. The car was small, but Twilight has no choice but to use it right now. As she shows the small car off to her friends with a smile, Rainbow frowns as she ask, "And how would this make things better?"

"Well, at least it's a Compact, right?" Pinkie ask happily as she gave out a squee.

"I betcha Filthy Rich won't even notice!" Twilight exclaims with a smile.

Unfortunately, Filthy Rich chose that time to show up, gasping in shock as the three mares turned in horror, "My car! What the hay did you do to my beautiful car?!"

"Err, it got shrunk in the wash?"

"Oooh, I will shrink you in the wash, along with any money your kingdom has!"

Filthy Rich furiously prepares to strangle Twilight, but the Alicorn dodges in time, causing the business pony to trip over the small car. He slipped while falling right into the automatic car wash. The mares can hear Filthy Rich yelping in alarm as he was being washed and dried like mad.

Once Filthy Rich came out of the car wash, the mares gave a look of amusement: Filthy Rich is now as small as a wash!

"I will get you for this!" Filthy Rich yells out in a squeaky voice while snapping angrily at the car washers. "I got lawyers! You will wish you will never been born once I'm through with you! I eat ponies like you for lunch!"

The mares just smirk as Twilight put a bucket over Filthy Rich, shutting him up. The princess chuckles, "Now HE got shrunk in the wash!"

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon's over, the audience applauds once more for a good one. In the backstage area, Lance sighs regretfully as he spoke to Ben, "Ben, I am really sorry. I didn't mean to crash that car into the wall.”

"Relax, we believe you, Lance." Ben assures Lance with a nod. "Your father may not wanna listen but we do believe you."

"I wish I can make up for it somehow...."

"Well, we don't have a musical act now, so we got time to fill."

"Lance!" Twilight, the PM version, exclaims as she, her group, and Tao came onto the scene. "What happened? Your father came in, telling us that you crashed a car."

Lance sighs, shaking his head while saying, "Awww, it wasn't my fault. That car from the first cartoon show up, it took me for a ride and crashed right through a wall. Dad now won't let me have a ride or a car now! He doesn't think I am responsible like he was for Dragoking. Dad always claimed to be the better rider."

"My son did what?" Tao ask in shock and alarm, getting a bit upse.t "He dare used my credit for taking care of his ride! Compare to his - your father had the worst in taking care of his pet. "

"What do you mean?" Teenage Spike (PM) asked Tao in surprise.

"Are you saying dad was reckless when it comes to taking care of Dragoking?" Nyx (PM) asked Tao with an arch of an eyebrow.

"Yes. It is true. I'll show you." Tao said with a nod. "In fact, I even did a cartoon of it years ago, starring Shadow Dragon and his driving skills."

"Ohhhh, I think I know what you mean." Iris Crystal said with a thought, getting the idea. "I saw clips of it. Lance, I think we got something that could help teach your father a lesson."

"Yes! Ben, we will use that!" Lance exclaims to Ben with a smile. "Instead of just clips, we're showing the whole thing. It will be a good educational story to show safe driving, and proves that dad wasn't responsible when he was a driver or a rider back in his young days!"

"Good idea. I will asked Applejack to run the cartoon once you introduce it." Ben said to Lance with a smile.

"Thanks, Ben! You're the best!"

"We're family, after all."

"I shall fetch the cartoon!" Tao exclaims as he gallops off to get the cartoon that was mentioned. Time to prove that not every driver is perfect, even a Mystic Pony like Shadow Dragon!

Spike got on stage, smiling as he announces, "And now folks, making their House of Pony debut, the best substitute valet and his family in their world...LANCE JUSTICESTRIKE AND THE SPARKLE DRAGON FAMILY!"

As Shadow Dragon was serving water to Starlight (My Little Pony Tales), Sweetheart and Melody when he heard the announcement, making him ask, "Wait what?" The Mystic Melody turns, unknowingly pouring the water into a Sea Pony's bowl.

Even Dragoking growls in surprise as he and Shadow Dragon saw Lance and his family are on stage. The Mystic Pony Lance smiles as he said, "Hey, my name is Lance Justicestrike and this is my family."

"We're here to introduce a special cartoon about the riding skills of my step daddy Shadow Dragon." Nyx (PM) said with a smirk.

"Right, this one I did years ago when he was Dragon Hope. You may think he's a safe driver but what do you really know about him then?" Tao ask mysteriously to the audience. "Time we find out! Roll it!"

The spotlight is put onto Shadow Dragon who gave a small smile. No, they wouldn't.

They would as the audience applauds as the final cartoon of the night plays on screen.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A DRAGON HOPE CARTOON

Based on the classic Goofy short 'Motor Mania'

"MONSTER MANIA"

The cartoon starts as an image of a crashed car is at a dump of vehicles like it, with monsters being impounded in a nearby cell. During this time, we can hear Tao, "Motor cars or certain rides as monsters. They are rapidly facing extinction or imprisonment because of foolish riders!"

We see a nearby house as Shadow Dragon, back when he was Dragon Hope, came out with a smile being happy and innocent...or is he?

"Yes. Truly the average Mystic Pony is a creature of strange and unorthodox habits. For example, take my son Dragon Hope. But to protect the innocent if he was, we shall called him "Mr. Trotter".

Dragon Hope goes over to the yard where his fateful pet Dragoking is chained up. The Mystic Pony is planning on a drive today and is ready for some fun and relaxation.

"Mr. Trotter lives in a quiet, respectable part of the Mystic Realm. He is a typical, average pony."

Dragon Hope spots the flower bush as he pick a flower, smelling it. Yes, sir. Looks like it was going to be a great day for him, right?

"Truly a good citizen of average intelligence. Or so it seems at first."

The pony heard birds singing, making Dragon Hope smiles as he whistles back while moving onward.

"My son is a kindly pony. Courteous, punctual and honest."

"Hey there, Dragon Hope!" Laxtinct calls over to Dragon Hope, waving to him.

"Morning, Laxtinct. What a great Mystic Realm day we're having." Dragon Hope said, smiling as he heads on over to Dragoking.

"Mr. Trotter wouldn't hurt a fly nor step on an ant."

Dragon Hope stops to see an ant on the ground, making him smile as he walks around the insect. Looks like a nice Mystic Pony, right?

"He believes in live and let live."

Time to get going so Dragon Hope unchained Dragoking, got him up and climbs onto him.

"Mr. Trotter owns a huge Hydragoon and considers himself a good rider. But once he's on that creature, a strange transformation overtakes him."

Dragon Hope prepares Dragoking to head off. But as soon as the Hydragoon begins growling, something happens. The Mystic Pony begins to snap as his eyes begin to transform. Dragon Hope turns into something he wasn't...a different form of driver, the Dark Mystic Pony kind as Dragon Hope laughs insanely.

"Aiiii! Mr. Trotter is charged with one overwhelming sense of power, his whole personality changes him. Suddenly, he turns into an uncontrollable monster, a Dark Mystic Pony driver. Mr. Trotter is now Mr. Dark Rider, an insane rider!"

Madly, Dragoking yelps as his owner kicks him, causing him to get moving. Laxtinct moves out of the way in time in alarm.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY, LAXTINCT YOU IDIOT! WATCH IT!" Dragon Hope yells furiously. He yelps while backing into a vehicle that was able to get off the curb. The riders of both transportations yells to each other while Dragon Hope and Dragoking heads off.

"Jerk! You think you own all of the Mystic Realm?!" The other rider snaps furiously at the mad pony.

"Well, yeah, I own it. Tao practically owns this dump! My taxes pay for it!" Dragon Hope chuckles cruelly. Dragoking roll his eyes as his owner thought of road streets and signs named after himself. "Yes, sir! I voted for the road bonds, I pay for the roads and blast it! I will use them!"

Dragon Hope and Dragoking stops at the entrance of a freeway for Mystic Ponies to the city as rides/cars goes past. The Mystic Pony looks impatiently for an entrance, then he forces his Hydragoon to get moving into the road without bothering to look.

"OFF THE ROAD, MOVE OVER, LET ME PASS!" Dragon Hope snaps furiously as he and his pet passes every vehicle on the road, making most of the Mystic Ponies riding to frown at him. The son of Tao was in the front with vehicles tailgating him. Dragoking stops while his owner glares at the riders yelling or honking their horns, wanting him to move faster, "Shut up all of you! You think you're better?! They will wait, it's a beautiful day."

Draogn Hope sighs as he get some air then turns on a radio that he himself brought along. After turning the device on, the Mystic Pony hums to the music. That's all he wants, fresh air, nice music...

Dragon Hope and Dragoking continues down the middle of the road, ignoring the angry ponies behind them yelling or honking their horns. They want the mad Mystic Pony to get off the road already.

"Off the road you road hog!" A driver snaps furiously.

Dragon Hope doesn't seem to notice or care. He is feeling like an actual road hog, relaxing as he just honks back, yelling. Suddenly, a spotlight up ahead turns red, forcing Dragoking to stop.

"Ugh! 30 seconds now out of my life! For the love of Lauren Faust!" Dragon Hope growls in frustration. He saw the other riders revving up beside him, making him smirk wickedly. "Oh, they wanna race, huh?" The Mystic Pony prepares Dragoking in determination. "Okay, boy. Let's see those fools get by us."

The riders waits until the light turns green. They rode off to the next spotlight, making Dragon Hope and the other riders wait there for the next light to turn green. Soon it did as the riders kept going. But Dragon Hope forces Dragoking to go down a middle sidewalk and right into a spotlight as the other vehicles passed him.

A bus coming from the other side came over and opens its doors. The passengers of it got off and climbs over Dragoking, going past Draogn Hope, much to his irritation. What is this? The passenger to come off waves to the Mystic Pony, saying, "Morning."

As the passenger leaves, Dragon Hope frowns, then saw a pony carrying groceries to the curb as well as a puddle of water. With an evil grin, he makes Dragoking backs up and goes back onto the road, going through the puddle of the water to splash the grocery carrying pony. Dragon Hope laughs to himself. That was fun...

That is until another car did the same thing to him, getting both Dragon Hope and Dragoking wet and making the mad pony rambles furiously. Just then he spots a parking place nearby.

"Aw, what luck; it's a parking place, a rider's pot of gold. Not everyone got one of those to stop at."

Dragon Hope saw that somepony is about to take the place he wanted. Furiously, the Mystic Pony made Dragoking go faster and stopping at the spot, claiming it. Dragon Hope laughs at the driver, making him groan and goes off to find another parking space to be at.

Dragoking meanwhile squeeze himself between two cars. The parking space doesn't fit him but it will work. Dragon Hope got off of his pet though a rider goes past the pony, almost knocking him down. Dragon Hope growls as he yells at the rider. What a jerk!

"Once my son is off his protector, Mr. Dark Rider, the rider, changes back into Mr. Trotter, the nice pedestrian."

Back to his true self, Dragon Hope trots along a sidewalk and picks up a newspaper in a stand on the other side of the street. He is happy and cheerful, as well as calm. It's like what happen before never happened at all!

"As a pedestrian crossing the street, a wise pony often said..."

Dragon Hope looks both way before preparing to cross the street. But a car run over one of his hooves, making him stare in shock.

"Foals step in where Alicorns fear to tread or..."

Dragon Hope waits as several cars/rides goes past. He hears a horn honking, making him smile and waves to the driver before starting to walk on the crosswalk. What a nice pony.

"...a friend in need is a friend indeed."

Turns out however that the driver wasn't stopping for Dragon Hope but for a cat carrying her kitten across the street, passing him unknown to the Mystic Pony. Once the felines got off the street, the cars moves, making Dragon Hope yelps as he rush back onto the street. What rude drivers!

Dragon Hope prepares to cross again, holding both hooves to stop two cars.

"And there's also the saying 'where there's a will, there's a way'!"

Unfortunately, one of the cars isn't stopping and is aiming right at Dragon Hope! He yelps and gallops over, only to get run over, sending him flying back to the side of that street that the pony was crossing. The driver, Tech, laughs as he put a stamp of 'Dragon Hope Ran Over' on his car window.

The dizzy Dragon Hope now walks around in the middle of the road where he quickly recovered...and quickly yell as he ran all over the road, doing his best to find a safe spot while dodging the mad cars. The Mystic Pony found one on the other side, jumping up a car. The cars/rides became sentient and begin acting like dogs trying to get him...then gave up and went on their way.

In relief, Dragon Hope came down the lamp post. At least he's where he need to be right now.

"Extra, extra! Read all about it!" A news pony calls out.

"Here you go." Dragon Hope said as he give a bit to get a newspaper. The pony opens it up and begins reading, with a headline saying 'Accident Increase, Especially on the Road'. And of course when the Mystic Pony begins trotting across the crosswalk, he didn't notice that he is avoiding the cars while also failing to see a four way accident while going right by it.

Dragon Hope got back onto the sidewalk...just as Tech reappears, running him over, this time on a motorized bike. The mama's colt laughs as he put a stamp 'Dragon Hope Ran Over' on his bike handle.

Dragon Hope groans as he heads back to Dragoking. Time to get out of here, this place is mad!

"Yes, safe! Mr. Trotter returns to the haven of his pet, now knowing how the other fellow feels."

Dragoking nods as he owner got back onto him, preparing to go home and relax.

"But ugh! Once my son is behind the "wheel", Trotter once again form..."

Dragon Hope got Dragoking ready...then begins to feel strange as the Mystic Pony laughs evilly like before.

"...Mr. Dark Rider, the rider, the Dark Mystic Pony return-th!"

Dragoking got out of the parallel parking, rushing off very fast...then got into an accident offscreen. Ouch!

A few moments later, Dragon Hope is still riding Dragoking, yelling at a medic carriage that is pulling the injured Dragoking, "Come on, move it! Out of the way, road hog, ugh!"

Dragoking groans as his owner kept yelling at the camera. He just doesn't get it, does he?

"What a shame, son AKA Mr. Dark Rider. You went and hurt your pet. But this must be a lesson to you. Ride safely, play fair..."

Dragon Hope glares at the camera, mostly at his adopted father.

"Give other ponies a chance, and..."

"Oh, shut up, you old goat!" Dragon Hope snaps angrily at the story comes to an end.

"Well! Remind me to ground you later or hit you on the head!"

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the final cartoon is over, the audience applauds wildly. Once again, a really good one.

Pinkamena couldn't help but giggle, "Well, looks like the apple does not fall far from the tree, that's for sure."

Golden Heart nods in agreement, saying, "Well at least chances are now Lance will be able to have a car to drive/ride."

"I am sure things will go good."

Shadow Dragon looks a bit sheepish as did Dragoking. They both remembered those times that the Mystic Pony drove/rode so badly, especially when both got into trouble with Tao, Azure Phoenix, and their friends later on for the trouble. Oh, the humiliation!

Shadow Dragon tries to sneak off to try to save what's left of his dignity. But the pony stops as he saw Twilight and Ben, who are standing nearby.

"Well, well, apparently Lance isn't the only one in your family who isn't so responsible, right Mr. Dark Rider?" Twilight ask Shadow Dragon in amusement.

"Well, uh...okay, I admit, I was young and foolish back then." Shadow Dragon said nervously. "I didn't know any better and was close to the dark side..."

"Right, kinda like what Lance is now, huh?" Ben ask, pointing out a fact to Shadow Dragon. Like father, like son, one may say.

"Still, I..."

Shadow Dragon yelps as Tao appears, hitting him on the head. As the rest of his family from the PM universe appears, the Mystic Pony scowls, "Aiiiiiiii! Have you learned nothing from your reckless foolish driving?! Don't you get it at all?!"

"Lance may not be a good driver but you weren't exactly Mr. Perfect at a young age." Teenage Spike (PM) said with a sigh.

"Lance can do better and prove himself responsible if you give him a chance." Nyx (PM) said to her step-father in concern.

"He's right. Come on." Twilight (PM) said to her love, batting her eyelashes at Shadow Dagon.

"Come on, Shadow Dragon." Rarity said as she, Rainbow and Fluttershy came over. "Give him a chance. Lance has really worked hard."

"You got that right!" Rainbow exclaims with a nod.

"Lance wants a ride so bad. Please be a good dad and let him have one." Fluttershy said shyly to Shadow Dragon.

"So how about it?" Twilight ask Shadow Dragon with a smile. "Wanna give your son another chance?"

Dragoking came over, grunting as he snorts. Shadow Dragon groans, even his pet is against him! The pony sighs, "Maybe..."

"So does this mean you will consider getting Lance a car or a ride?"

"What? A car? Hay, I got an even better idea!"

Shadow Dragon smiles as he trots off, making the others looks confused. What does the Mystic Pony has in mind anyway? Hopefully it will make Lance happy at least.

Lance is back at the parking lot, preparing to park the cars for the customers once the show is over. Just then, he saw his family coming over as Shadow Dragon spoke, "Hey, Lance! I've been thinking."

"Oh great. What?" Lance groans a bit.

"Simple, I know you've been working hard to be responsible...I decided it's time you get a reward."

"Really? Does it mean that you're going to let me have a car or a ride?!"

Shadow Dragon leads the family into the parking lot as he chuckles, "Well, what's a car and a ride when you can have..." The pony smirks as he points to...an empty parking space that has a sign over it saying 'Reserved for Lance Justicestrike'. "...your very own parking space?"

"A parking space, really?" Teenage Spike (PM) ask his father. The rest of the family are disappointed as the Dragon is. They were hoping that the Dragon would at least get Lance a car or a ride.

"Wow, that's...great." Lance said, looking at the empty parking space, a little disappointed. "Very wonderful, I love it. Now if only I had something to park IN it."

But as if to answer a prayer of sorts, the family hears notice. They saw the same car from before landing right in the Lance's parking spot before changing into its black metal Dragon form, roaring. 4-Speed laughs madly as he runs off.

"Hey, get back here!" Dr. Hooves exclaims furiously as he got off the Dragon and chases 4-Speed.

"You flesh ridiculous speedy pony!" Metalgear exclaims as he jumps off the black metal Dragon. The metal pony put a 'For Free' sign near it. "If anyone wants this Dragon, they can have it!" He then rushes off to join Dr. Hooves in chasing the mad 4-Speed.

Lance gasps in hope then gave some begins eye to Shadow Dragon, much to his notice. The father then saw the others looking at him hopefully, making him sigh. Looks like he has been outvoted.

Oh...all right, Lance. You can have a ride." Shadow Dragon said with a smile. "It is free and you deserve it after all."

"Oh, thanks, dad!" Lance exclaims happily as he hugs Shadow Dragon then goes over to his new pet (ride). "I will call him Xtreme!" What do you think, boy?" The Dragon roars, approving of the name and its new owner.

"Well, no trouble at all, son."

"Yeah, he isn't like the other Dragons." Teenage Spike (PM) chuckles as he pats Extreme by the tail...before the Dragon swallows him up.

"No, no, no Xtreme, spit him out!" Lance scolds Xtreme, ordering him to spit Teenage Spike out.

"Spit him out!" Shadow Dragon snaps at the black Metal Dragon in annoyance.

"Honestly, this is like Ben being swallowed by Dragoking all over again!" Twilight (PM version) said with an annoyed groan.

Yeah, Lance is like his father: both have pets that swallowed something they shouldn't!

The show is about to come to an end. Pinkamena, who somehow knew what happened, spoke, "Well, things went wonderful. Lance has gotten a car to drive/ride or how the term goes."

"Indeed, my little sister. Things did go well but seems like it is almost time to wrap things up." Golden Heart said to Pinkamena with a smile.

"You're right about that, Big Brother."

Indeed, Spike prepares to finish tonight's show as he said, "The House of Pony auto insurance is provided by..."

We see the words appearing as the commercial is shown.

"Hasbro Insurance!"

Now see Lance laughing as he drives a car like mad.

"Teenage driver or rider in the house?"

Now we see a frowning Trixie being pulled over by a Royal Guard who begins to give her a ticket.

"Got way too many speed tickets as of late?"

The next still shows 4-Speed looking through a police car window as he watches a tow truck towing a wrecked motor car that he was driving.

"As well as reckless driving convictions?"

We return to the words on the screen.

"Yay! We will cover everyone who has really horrible driving skills!" Spike then finishes the advertisement with a low voice, "Horrible drivers will have to pay extra though."

As the show comes to an end, Twilight smiles as she spoke, "Well, until next time, later, ponies and folks! Drive safely!"

Author's Note

Wow! Lance got a new car/ride, things are fine now. Now in the next episode "Not as Pinkie", after the gang are getting tired of Pinkie's random and silly acts causing trouble, Ben decides to hire Soarin' to help her be poise and grace. But when it works to the point that the gang prefers their old random friend, it's up to Twilight, Ben, Rainbow, Soarin' and Spitfire to help bring her back. Read, review and suggest!

Metalgear was from PM's MLP: FIM stories.

I know that only clips of the Goofy short "Motor Mania" were shown in the actual episode of "House of Mouse" but like Orange Ratchet, I can get away with minor differences here.

House of Pony: Season 2

Episode Nineteen: Not as Pinkie Pie

Lance was happy that he now has car/ride, a black metal Dragon named Xtreme. After he got him to spit his Spike out, the two became close friends. The whole family, especially Shadow Dragon, was happy that he was happy too.

Once Pinkie and Shining came back, the two resumes their jobs at the House of Pony for next week's show. The mare is ready to be on top of form, serving her best.

Of course, Pinkie little know that her random antics will be too much for even her friends to take.

Spike smiles as he spoke to the crowd, "All right, direct from Ponyville, the descendant of the Gen 1 version of Twilight, TWILIGHT SPARKLE!'

The audience applauds as what appears to be the original Twilight came in, speaking in the Gen 1 Twilight's voice, "Hey, ponies!" The mare laughs as she removes her costume, revealing the Alicorn herself. "Welcome to the most magic place all over in Equestria, which we called..."

"HOUSE OF PONY!" The audience cheers out wildly and excitedly.

"Yep. We've got a great show today..."

Twilight yelps as she hears a crash. Everyone turns to Pinkie who is holding a broken plate, much to the shock of Fancy Pants and Fleur Dis Lee. Pinkie apologizes, "Oopsie! Sorry, Twilight!"

Twilight shrugs, trying to continue on, "Like I was saying, we..." The mare was interrupted by another crash. Everyone saw Pinkie who is tied up in a spaghetti dinner set up for Slugger and Buttons.

"Don't mind me! Just continue what you're doing! Squee!"

"Err, we've got a really great..."

Another crash was heard, making Twilight cringes. All eyes are on Pinkie whose head is stuck in Cheese Sandwich's cheese sandwich. As the mare tries her best to get herself unstuck, the mare calls, "Tell them about the funny cartoons."

"Right, of course." Twilight said uneasily. Pinkie is being more random than ever. "We've got some really funny..."

The princess is interrupted by yet another crash. Twilight saw Pinkie spinning around in a dazed as she bumps into Button Mash, causing him to be tied up in his own controller to a video game on a laptop that he is playing on the table.

"We need clean up on table 15." Ben said into a walkie talkie as a Bushwoolie heads out to get the task done.

Back in the dining area, Pinkie accidentally slipped as she ran right into the Autobots. They turned into their vehicles forms, ending up in one big car pileup.

"Sorry!" Pinkie apologizes sheepishly to the Transformers.

"We need another clean up on table 16!" Ben groans as he speaks into his walkie talkie, summon another Bushwoolie to clean up the latest mess.

Of course, Pinkie begins walk on heads, literally. The mare yelps as she slips and fell, causing a lot of accidents throughout the dining/audience area. Twilight cringes as she watches this from the stage. That's gotta hurt!

"I'm okay!" Pinkie calls out.

"Ugh! You know what? Just clean them all up!" Ben calls out, summoning every Bushwoolie with brooms and pans to clean up the latest mess. Boy, Pinkie is more random!

Twilight chuckles nervously, saying, "Well, I'm sure we will have that all cleaned up. Also, we will have that great show that I was telling you about. Sit tight until then!"

After introducing the Cutie Mark Peas (which the CMC are reverting back to the original name for a couple of evenings), Twilight came up to Ben, Nyx and the Dragons. The filly said, "Daddy, we need to talk."

"Right, we gotta do something about Pinkie Pie." Ben said in concern to his filly friend.

"Yeah, I mean, she's a good friend but she is causing more accidents than usual lately." Spike said in agreement.

"And it's turning away our new guests and being annoying!" Phobos complains to the Alicorn in annoyance by Pinkie's random behavior.

"I couldn't help but overhear that you want to do something about Pinkie." Rarity said as she and Rainbow came over to the family.

"Right, Pinkie is being more random, more so than usual!" Pinkie remarks with a frown.

"Come on, everyone. Pinkie is just being Pinkie, that's all." Twilight insists to her friends. After all, Pinkie is being what she is, after all. The Earth Pony can't help it.

""Yeah, she's being a huge klutz!" Applejack exclaims with a frown as she came in angrily onto the scene.

"No offense against my gal but I heard she is being too random!" Brian complains as he came in to join in on the conversation.

"Yeah, Pinkie is making it difficult for me and the animals to work." Fluttershy adds as she came in worried. "It's getting worrying."

"And she is being a big problem in the kitchen!" Mrs. Cake complains as she and Mr. Cake came in with their own complaints.

"You got to do something, Twilight! We can't continue working like this if she kept endangering lives in the club like this!" Mr. Cake demands to Twilight that she must do something about this. The Alicorn gave a nervous smile. Looks like everyone wants something done about Pinkie.

"Okay, maybe I could talk to her about being a little...less Pinkie?" Twilight ask nervously to her friends.

"Aww, don't bother." A familiar sad voice said. Everyone turn as they saw Pinkie crying, with her mane and tail deflated. She overheard everything and is hurt. "I overheard everything. You don't want a pony who is silly or random. You want somepony who is courteous and graceful. I understand...too well!"

Pinkie trots off sadly, everyone looks down, feeling guilty about what they said now. Nyx protests to Pinkie, "Auntie Pinkie Pie! Wait!"

"Hoo boy." Rainbow said with a groan. This is going to be a long night. She and Ben pauses, tapping their hooves while trying to come up with an idea. The stallion then smiles, having an idea as he whispers into Rainbow's ear. The Pegasus pony grins as she said, "Yeah, all right! Maybe he can do it!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Twilight ask puzzled. What are Ben and Rainbow up to?

"Oh, you'll see." Ben said to Twilight with a chuckle. This night is going to be an interesting one, indeed.

Twilight looks concerned. What will she do to help Pinkie? Just then, Ben smiles as he and Rainbow came over. The Earth Pony said, "Good news, Twilight! I believe we know someone who can help us with our "Pinkie" Problem."

"Really? How so?" Twilight ask Ben puzzled.

"Well, Ben and I talked a bit. We decided to get the help from one of my fellow Wonderbolts." Rainbow explains with a smile. "Hey, Soarin'! Come on in!"

Soarin' flew in, walking as he saluted the princess. The Pegasus spoke, "Don't worry about a thing, princess. I will teach Pinkie everything I know about poise and grace."

"Just remember not to overdo it to the point of romance. You're my colt."

"No prob, sweetheart."

"That's great news!" Twilight exclaims with a smile. Maybe now, Pinkie can do better. "You three go find Pinkie while I keep the show going." They all nodded while the mare head back to the stage.

At her table, Pinkamena in concern spoke, "Something tells me the group might regret what they plan to do."

Golden Heart nods in agreement, adding, "Well maybe then they will see they should let Pinkie Pie be herself."

As the spotlight shined on Twilight, the princess grins as she spoke, "All right, buckle yourselves in, folks! We got a roller coaster cartoon to show you!"

The audience applauds as the first cartoon of the night got under way.

USSONIC PRESENTS...

A TWILIGHT SPARKLE, RAINBOW DASH AND PINKIE PIE CARTOON

Roller Coaster Painters

At the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom castle, the trio of Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie got a new occupation for them to work on, their occupations change every month. This month? They were roller coaster painters.

Inside the throne room, the telephone rang. Twilight calls out, "Telephone!"

The trio rush up to the phone at the same time. Rainbow pushes her friends, snapping, "Move it, out of my way!"

Twilight frowns, using her magic to get the phone away from Rainbow, but the Pegasus pony twirls the string causing the Alicorn to lose the phone. Pinkie caught it, putting the phone to her ear while saying, "Hello?" The mare listens to the caller. "Oh, really? You want to get a hold of Twilight Sparkle? Not sure. She's kind of ticklish and Ben wouldn't like it..."

"Give me that!" Twilight snaps as she takes the phone from Pinkie. The mare put the phone to her ear as she smiles. "Hey! Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Roller Coaster Painters, we paint roller coasters!" Twilight smiles as she listens. "Oh, a job at Whinnyland? No trouble at all, nah! We will be right over!"

Twilight threw phone up, causing it to hang in mid-air as she and Rainbow rushes out. Pinkie looks at the phone then hangs it up.

After a couple of hours later, the mare trio arrives, meeting up with the owner of the park. With a smile, Twilight spoke, "No problem, Mr. Whinnyland owner, sir. You can count on Princess Twilight Sparkle and friends. Our motto is, we paint roller coasters like true friends!"

"You betcha! I'm the best and 100% awesome!" Rainbow exclaims as she pushers Twilight aside. The princess frowns a bit, a bit irritated by the Pegasus's competition nature.

"Good to hear that, because I'm about to use a contest for all of you." The owner said with a smile. "I've heard you all have a favorite color..."

"Of course. Purple!" Twilight announces with a smile on her face.

"Purple? Lame, mine is blue!" Rainbow exclaims eagerly. "And Pinkie is pink."

"Perfect because here's the deal. Whoever's favorite color shows up the most when the roller coaster is done will win this!" The owner explains as he shows a small ticker, making the ponies excited. "A lifetime pass to Whinnyland!"

"Lifetime pass?! Oh yeah, out of the way! I got painting to do here!"

Rainbow zips off eagerly as she heads off to get the paint from the truck. Twilight pauses, then spoke to the owner, "Well, sir, we got a lot of painting to do! Can do!"

Twilight left Pinkie, who is the only one remaining. The mare grins while saying, "We paint roller coasters like true friends! That's our motto, okie dokie lokie!"

It was a few minutes later as the trio came out of the truck with paint cans, rollers and ladders in their wings and magic. The trio did some job agreement: Twilight shall paint the cars, Rainbow the tracks, and Pinkie the sides and the railings.

Twilight got to work, doing her best to be painting each roller coaster car in creative ways. Soon the mare got the job done, making her smile in satisfaction. The princess is done already. Perhaps Rainbow will need help with the tracks.

Pinkie meanwhile hums as she took her sweet time, setting up the ladder before painting the rails pink. The pink pony nods happily. Yeah, she is fast and crazy...but Pinkie learns that slow and steady is all it takes to win this race.

Rainbow smiles, riding a rail car as she paint the tracks blue, even doing a lop-de-loop carefully. Of course, the Pegasus pony ends up falling right off the car, going downhill. Fortunately, upon landing on a track, Rainbow survive.

As Rainbow prepares to get back to work, she saw, to her shock and anger, Twilight, done with the car, is working on the tracks. This causes the Pegasus pony to frown in jealously and competitive. So, Twlight wants that free pass and is trying to take the tracks for an automatic win, huh? Rainbow wanted to do that!

"Oh, I will show her!" Rainbow snaps as she begins painting the tracks a lot faster. Slow is boring for her!

Twilight notices some blue paint dropping down, causing her to comment, "Well, Rainbow really does wants that lifetime pass...no surprise there." The mare in confidence uses her magic to hold her paintbrush. "Okay, well, just like Applejack, I will give that pony a run for her bits!"

Twilight then got to work, painting even more faster. The two ponies follow each other on the tracks, even doing more loop-de-loops. Rainbow suddenly found herself almost flying off the tracks upon reaching the edge.

"Yikes!" Rainbow yelps, flying back onto the edge in time. That was a close one!

"Missed a spot!" Twilight chuckles to Rainbow while calling from somewhere. This causes the mare to frown...then she smirks mischievously while spilling some drops right onto the princess, making her yelp before backing off. "Hey, stop that! You wanna get paint on me?!"

Rainbow just smirks as she dips her brushes into both paint cans. Time for war! And thus, the mare begins throwing paint like mad at her opponent, only for Twilight to catch each drop in an empty paint can nearby.

"Ha, missed!" Twilight taunts Rainbow while smirking.

Rainbow isn't going to give up that easily. She quickly threw a whole can of paint right at the princess, causing blue paint to land directly onto Twilight. This causes the Pegasus pony to laugh like mad, "Oh man! Funniest thing I have ever seen in my life! Ha ha ha ha!"

Twilight shook the blue paint off of herself. The Alicorn, vowing revenge silently, begins to fly up and grabs a roller, using it to paint Rainbow purple, making her yelp in alarm.

As Twilight chuckles and flew off, Rainbow glares as furiously she snaps, "Oh, a wise mare who wanna play rough, huh?"

Pinkie meanwhile was doing her thing, painting the rail pink. The mare let go of the paint brush for a moment...and it is still painting on its own while Pinkie scratches her mane for a moment. She then grabs the paint brush with her mouth to resume her job.

"Handy!" Pinkie mumbles a bit. That mare is still random.

Rainbow, passing Pinkie and not giving her a second thought, still think of ways to get back at Twilight. The Pegasus smirks evilly, getting an idea. The mare took a belt which hold some lollipops together at a candy counter,, a few balloons shaped like Dragons, and a water squirter from a carnival games. The pony is ready to take down the purple Alicorn now!

Twilight was coming back to give a second coat of paint onto the cars...when she saw a familiar shadow approaching. The mare turns and gasps. There's the Pegasus with a paint machine gun that has paint balloons from the stuff that she gathered. The mare is really out to kick her flank!

"Now, Rainbow, come on, don't do anything hasty. You usually compete with Applejack, not me. We got work to do!" Twilight exclaims nervously, making Rainbow growls as she aims the gun, ready to fire. "Uh, how about the lifetime pass?"

Needless to say, all that did was making Rainbow ticked off as she gets her gun ready, causing Twilight to gulp. Looks like the mare's mind is set now! Twilight hops into a car to make a break for it while Rainbow hops into the next one not so long after, causing both to ride the roller coaster in a mad chase. Yeah, they both can fly but this is more creative!

Twilight looks back, seeing Rainbow's car chasing after her. After a few seconds of riding, Rainbow begins shooting her paint gun as the car begins to hop.

"Rainbow, stop, come on!" Twilight insists, but Rainbow kept on firing. The princess saw a few purple paint cans nearby and decides that if she want to defend herself, better do so with paint.

Twilight uses her magic to grab the purple cans and begins to fight back. Rainbow yelps as she moves her car out of the way, but she kept on going. The mare ditched the gun and begins throwing the paint balloons, only for Twilight to catch them with her magic, sending right back at Rainbow's face.

Rainbow yells in frustration as the two raged on, throwing paint cans, paint balloons, etc. with the cars going all over the place like mad.

Of course, the action was slightly paused for a mere moment as Pinkie ride in on some balloons while painting a railing pink. The Earth pony happily spoke, "Pardon me, girls! Coming through!"

Once Pinkie left, Twilight and Rainbow resumed their intense paint battle...which ended with the Pegasus pony fly9ing upside down and landing in Twilight's car. The two mares glare at each other, preparing to fight once more...until they saw to their shock that they were about to crash into the empty car!

The collision send both ponies right out of the car, but they kept on with their paint fight. It came to an end when Twilight and Rainbow landed in the truck, mixing their paints together. The two got out, dizzy and in a combination of a pink color, don't ask me how. They sat down, groaning a bit while recovering.

Just then the owner came this way, making Twilight and Rainbow yelps and stood up, smiling. For a moment, they are worried that the owner would be upset that the two mares just fight each other in a paint war than doing their job.

But luckily and to their surprise, the owner gallops past them, looking at the roller coast while exclaiming, "Hey, that looks wonderful!"

Sure enough, the roller coaster is done, with one track purple and the other blue. But most of the tracks were brown, much to Twilight and Rainbow. This caused them to slap their own forehead with their hooves. In all the madness of the fighting, they forgot one important thing: Pinkie was in the contest as they were!

Speaking of which, Pinkie came hopping in while grinning at her work. The owner came up, shaking a hook while saying, "You did a wonderful job, miss! It's gorgeous!"

"Aww, thanks. It wasn't nothing. Just a satisfaction of Pinkie Job well done! The roller coaster really looks great, okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie exclaims happily to the owner.

"Well, seeing how your favorite color is pink and since it is the most painted that I've saw, you miss won the lifetime pass to Whinnyland! Congratulations!"

The owner thus hands the pass to Pinkie, making Twilight and Rainbow's mouths dropped in shock. Their friend actually won the pass without even trying?!

"Yay, I cannot believe it!" Pinkie giggles as she shows off her pass, "Oooh, Twilight, Dashie; you aren't going to believe what I got!"

Twilight gave a bit of a warm smile as if trying her brave to be a good sport. Rainbow, on the other hoof, just sobs, "Awww, man, not fair! Pinkie wasn't even trying! She..." The Pegasus finally broke down into tears, disbelief that she was beaten by someone who wasn't even trying.

"Awww, I don't want to see you cry, Dashie. Wait, I got an idea! I'll share the pass!" Pinkie exclaims happily, having an idea on how to use the pass. The two mares look hopeful....until the pink pony tore the pass itself into three bits, giving one each to her friends. "Okie dokie lokie! One for you and one for you!"

Twilight and Rainbow blinks and groans in disbelief. That Pinkie Pie ripped up the pass and is sharing it all right...except now it's useless!

"Hey, why don't we have some fun together?" Pinkie ask her friends happily, unaware of the pass now useless. Twilight gave a nervous smile as she points to the ripped bit in Pinkie's hoof, causing her to look at it...before becoming puzzled. "Weird. Looks like it ripped..."

"Aww, what the hay?" The owner, seeing the scene, chuckles as he came over to the girls. "You all did a fantastic job, so here you go, lifetime passes for you and for any of your friends and families that you can take!"

Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie smiles happily as they got a lifetime pass to Whinnyland. Looks like this became a happy ending after all!

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is done, the audience applauds wildly. They enjoyed that one!

Soarin' at this point was talking to Pinkie, explaining to her on what he is planning on doing. The mare, frowning, snaps, "What?! You want to teach me how to poison Grace?! Look, bud, I don't know who any pony named Grace is but I am not going along with any murder!"

"No, no, I said I'm going to teach you how to be POISE and grace." Soarin' corrects with a light chuckle to Pinkie. He then motions to some teacups and pots that were sitting at a table where the Gen 3.5 versions of Pinkie Pie, Starsong and Cheerilee were sitting at. "And I assure you, once I'm done with ya, you will be able to do...this!"

Soarin' quickly pulls the tablecloth from under the tea stuff without disturbing them. The Pegasus exclaims, "Ha!"

"Wow!" Pinkie exclaims impressed as the Gen 3.5 version applaud the Wonderbolt for his trick. "I always wanted to do something like that!"

"Good, then let's get to work!"

Pinkie smiles eagerly while nodding. Hopefully she will learn how to be the perfect waitress now and satisfy her upset friends.

Pinkie sat inside the kitchen as Soarin' instructs the mare, "All right, although I can be rude when it comes to eating pie, I can still teach some manners. So the proper way to wait tables is like this." The stallion clears his throat as he imitated a waiter. "Good evening colt and/or filly. My name is Soarin' and I will be your waitress for this evening. How many I help you?"

And Pinkie...she misunderstood the teaching. The mare quickly took a table and chair out before sitting down. The pony spoke up much to Soarin’s chagrin, "Let's see...okay, I will have the Friendship Games Substitute Bird, mashed potatoes with Philomena Gravy...oh, for dessert, I will have the Twilight Ice Cream Sparkle! Hee hee! I used the theme names with some of the places and folks I know for the food!"

"Okay, this will be a lot more work than I thought it to be..."

It was a few moments later, once things are cleared, but Soarin' motions to Pinkie as he said, "All right, now trot this way." Soarin' did a slow, but polite trot to get to the other side of the room. "All right, now trot this way."

"If I trot that way, I would be a Pegasus pony." Pinkie giggles a bit, making Soarin' roll his eyes.

"Just do what I did, okay?"

Pinkie shrugs as she did the same trot...but the mare did one wrong step, sending her to the floor and doing the splits on all four legs.

"Now you try." Soarin' said, repeating the first lesson o Pinkie.

Pinkie grins and slaps Soarin' on the back...a bit too hard as the Pegasus pony is send flying with only his uniform left behind. The pink pony, unaware of this, exclaims, "Hiya Soarin'! How are ya doing tonight? What do you wanna have?" Pinkie blinks and saw no sign of Rainbow's colt-friend. Checking the uniform, Pinkie ask, "Soarin'? Where are ya?"

"Right here...." Pinkie turns to see that Soarin' has crashed right into a wall. The stallion recovers pretty quickly yet groans, "Okay, the friendliness, you got down pat. Now let's work on the tone."

Soarin' watches as Pinkie balances herself on a garbage can. The stallion has told her that the way to be a proper waitress is to balance. Of course, Pinkie slips and backs away, falling while screaming.

Soarin' cringes as Pinkie fell into a freezer, causing a frozen turkey to get stuck in her mane as a result.

Now for the first pre-test. Soarin' did it in under 30 minutes and even he himself was impressed. Why, you may ask? Because Pinkie trots up to a table that is set up to have a dummy in it, to show off her progress so far.

"Salutations and greetings, sir and/or madam. How may I be of service," Pinkie ask the dummy politely.

"Cool! You're just about ready." Soarin' said impressed. Pinkie has come far and it looks like she's ready to really wait tables.

"Thanks a lot!" Pinkie exclaims as she hit Soarin' on the back. Of course, the mare did so too hard again, leaving only his uniform behind once more. Confused, Pinkie looks under it, asking, "Now where did you go?"

"Hoo boy, over here." Soarin' groans, recovering from the crash that he went through...again. "Okay, now let's try this again...just one more time...and let's not try to kill me, okay?"

In the backstage area, Twilight and Rainbow were waiting for any progress. Ben, Nyx and Soarin' came over as the Pegasus mare ask, "Well?"

"I didn't think it was possible but Soarin' has done it!" Ben exclaims with a proud smile. "Pinkie is now completely un-random or whatever it is that made her crash a lot!"

"Yeah! We shouldn't have trouble with Auntie Pinkie Pie now!" Nyx exclaims happily.

"Well, I'll believe it when I see it." Twilight said, shaking her head. If Pinkie can be changed, the Alicorn will definitely believe it.

"Hey, egghead!" Rainbow exclaims as she peeks out into the audience to see how Pinkie's doing. "Check this out!"

Pinkie left the kitchen, smiling solemnly but seriously. The mare is on her way to deliver a meal to a table. On the way, King Longhorn finishes a banana off and threw peel aside carelessly. Sure enough, Pinkie slips on it, tripping on the chair but the mare was able to keep her balance as she arrives at the table where Flare Tiger and her family sat at.

"Hmmm..." Twilight said as she watches this. So far, so good...

"Ugh, stupid itch, can't get it..." Lorcan growls as he's trying to reach behind his back but the Dragon was unable to do so. Pinkie rushes over and begins scratching it, allowing Lorcan to relax. "To the right...little more...oh yes, that's the spot!"

As Lorcan sighs in relief, Pinkie pulls out some flowers that are on his back and flew it onto Lyra and Sweetie Drops's table. The former calls out, "Hey, waitress! There're flowers on my table...hey, thanks!"

Twilight looks surprised as she rubs her eyes in amazement. The Alicorn couldn't believe it but there it was! Pinkie is doing better for once!

Pinkie meanwhile is serving the meals to Divine Star and her children's table. She spoke, "Divine Star wanted no beans, Regan Glacier wanted no onions, Maretanna wanted no lettuce, Alucard Shade wanted no beef, Carriew Oink wanted no cholesterol, Igor Tech wanted high fructose corn syrup, Frank N. Stallion wanted no spinach, Quasi Meteor wanted no carrots, Elvira Petal wanted no chocolate..." The pink mare put down the last dishes to Wayne Gravel, Griffin Sonnet, Murra Spur, and Samantha Dune. "...and you three ponies wanted no croutons, right?"

The ponies clapped as Pinkie took a bow. She got them all right!

"So whatcha think?" Soarin' ask Twilight as she and the others turn to him.

"Well, she didn't spill a single thing." Ben said impressed. Soarin' has done the impossible and made Pinkie better.

"Right, our problem has finally been solved!" Rainbow exclaims, proud of her love for his success.

"Great! Now I'm going to go out and introduce the next cartoon!" Twilight exclaims as she gallops to the stage. Upon arrival, the mare turns to the audience with a smile. "And now, here's a Pinkie Pie cartoon!"

The audience applauds as the next cartoon of the night begins.

USSONIC PRESENTS...

Pinkie's Extreme Sports 2 - Wakeboarding

"Yes, skill...bravery...as well as one injured flank! But after all, these are the qualities one that can only be found in the extreme sports pony!"

Pinkie was inside a speedboat by the dock reading a magazine on wakeboarding when she overheard the narration.

"And in the extreme sport of wakeboarding..."

"Wait, Mr. Narrator! I just remembered something!" Pinkie exclaims as she bounces out of the boat. "Gotta put on my floatie, don't go anywhere!"

With that, Pinkie rushes off for a slight moment and came back, doing her best to put a pink floatie on. Once that's done, the pink mare bounces back into the speedboat.

"As I was saying, and in the extreme sport of wakeboarding..."

"Whoa, hold it, Mr. Eager Pants! Gotta start the boat up first!" Pinkie calls out. She turns the boat on then slid onto a ripe tied to the back of it, bouncing onto the wakeboard. "Okie dokie lokie! Ready whenever you are!"

"And in...awww, never mind. Let's get this over with."

The boat speeds off...but with no driver however! Pinkie hangs onto the pulley behind the speedboat on her wakeboard as best as she could. This is one extreme sport!

"The core of any wakeboarder's routine is the breathtaking aerial stunts! We shall start with an air roll!"

Pinkie does, though her body got contorted up as a result. The Earth pony was able to get her body back to normal by spinning though.

"Next up, the Rally Mouthwash!"

Pinkie made her wakeboard dive underwater for a moment before coming up. The pink pony was gargled some water before spitting it out as if it was mouthwash.

"And finally, the Air Tantrum!"

Pinkie smiles as she spins into the air with her wakeboard...and throw a tantrum like a foal, "No, no, no! Darn, darn, darn! Wah, wah, wah some more!"

With that done, Pinkie lands back into the water and grabs the pulley, surfing around eagerly.

"Now, the wakeboard is much smaller than a surfboard due to its design being for maximum maneuverability."

Now, this would've been more fun...except there is no driver at the wheel of the speedboat. Pinkie screams as she ends up being thrown off course, being send to the beach. The mare maneuvering around a wakeboarding sign and right into a parking lot...where amazingly enough, Pinkie did some parallel parking.

"Maneuverable!" Pinkie giggles a bit. Of course, the wakeboard continues flying with her in it still.

"YIKES, LOOK OUT!"

Pinkie ends up crashing into a sandcastle. We now see what looks like her and the wakeboard covered in sand, heading back towards the water. But once the sand is gone, turns out to be the wakeboard which fell right into the water itself.

"Hoo boy. And that...apparently...concludes today's Extreme Sports! All right, now if you excuse me, I gotta find our speedboat."

Where's Pinkie, you folks may ask? Well, she's still at where she crashed in at the sand castle, a crab hangs on her nose with sands in her tail. The pink pony groans in pain, "Owie..."

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is over, the audience applauds. Once more, another good one.

"Well, go ahead, ask her." Sweetie Drops whisper to Lyra at their table. She wanted her friend to ask Pinkie to do something for them.

"Okay, okay." Lyra whispers right back. As Pinkie came over, the unicorn spoke up, "Hey Pinkie? Sweetie Drops here wants to know if you could pull off one of your party cannon tricks!"

"Sorry, Lyra, but I'm proper and polite now." Pinkie said, politely turning down the request much to the disappointment of the two guests. "And I cannot abandon my duties for such foolishness."

"Awww, gee." Sweetie Drops said, looking down in disappointment. She was looking further to Pinkie doing some silly today too!

Ben and Rainbow watch what happened from the backstage in worry. Pinkie would never turn that request down! The two look at each other in worry. Perhaps they made a big mistake.

"Hey, egghead? We may have a problem with the new Pinkie!" Rainbow explains as she points backstage. She, Ben, Twilight, Nyx and Soarin' watch what's going on.

Twilight saw, to her worry, Pinkie being asked requests that involves her old self. But each time, the mare politely refuses each one, saying, "Sorry but I'm proper and polite now. And I cannot abandon my duties for such foolishness."

Pinkamena, watching this, narrows her eyes as she spoke, "I called it. Did I not say trying to make Pinkie Pie not be herself would go bad fast?"

"Indeed about that sister. Maybe now, they will understand but for now let's watch the next show." Golden Heart said in agreement.

"Yikes. Now I see what you mean." Twilight said in worry. "That Pinkie...just isn't Pinkie anymore! She's too different!"

"She's acting like a total polite and proper zombie!" Nyx exclaims, getting scared by this.

"Oh man, I must've trained him too well. Sorry." Soarin' said with a groan of regret. His training of Pinkie must've turned her into something that no one knows anymore.

"No, it's okay, Soarin'." Twilight said with a sigh. Perhaps the gang asked too much of Pinkie to change. "Any chance you could change Pinkie to the way she truly is?"

"Right, you could make her be random again." Nyx said in agreement with her mother.

"Yeah, not sure how to do that. Sorry, but I can't just change a un-Pinkie back into a Pinkie." Soarin' said, shaking his head much to the concern of the others.

"So there's no way you could change Auntie Pinkie Pie back?"

Rainbow pauses then gasps, "Wait! I believe I know somepony who can help! Wait a second!"

Rainbow flies off for a few moments. She came back with Spitfire following, causing Twilight to ask in surprise, "Wait, Spitfire?"

"Yep! Rainbow told me everything so I decided to help." Spitfire remarks to Twilight with a chuckle. "Well, all right, I didn't have anything else to do tonight so why not? Now, the main problem with Pinkie is that she has forgotten who she is. But how can she forget to be Pinkie, the party planner, the funny mare? She's supposed to be the Element of Laughter, right?"

"You know, you're right! Pinkie is supposed to be the Element of Laughter! So how can you convince her to be who she truly is?"

"Here's the idea, princess. You introduce me on stage, I will take care of the rest. Rainbow, Soarin'! I will need you two as back up for this! Time to do this, Wonderbolts style!"

Rainbow and Soarin' smiles as they and Spitfire, high-hoofed each other. Twilight hopes that this idea will work, if it gets the real Pinkie Pie back.

In final hopes to get Pinkie back to wait she truly was, Twilight got on stage as she announces the next act, "All right, ponies! And now, a song that shows that you can be proud of who you really are. Sang by the Wonderbolts!"

The audience applauds as the spotlight shines on Rainbow who exclaims, "Oh yeah! Rainbow Dash here!"

Another spotlight soon shines on Soarin' who spoke, "And I am Soarin'!"

The last spotlight shines on Spitfire who spoke, "And my name is Spifire Romero Miguel Junipero Francisco Quintero Rodriguez!"

The audience laughs> Rainbow, confused, ask, "Wait, what? Say that again?"

"How did you get such a long name?" Soarin' ask Spitfire, bewildered that his fellow Wonderbolt never told him this until now.

"Well, so glad you asked." Spitfire said as a chair came in. The trio sat down as the Wonderbolt mare opens up a family album as a song begins to play.

Spitfire: My name is
Spitfire Romero Miguel Junipero Francisco Quintero Rodriguez!

Spitfire shows a photo of her mother Stormy Flare with another stallion

My mother Stormy Flare was born in Baa-hia
The daughter of grandpa Morales

"Of course, they are family nicknames for the rest of my family." Spitfire said, smiling to her friends as she explains her family history to her friends.

His name was Jose and then one day
He met my grandma you see

The Wonderbolts find themselves in a family museum, trotting down until they came up to Spitfire's picture.

Her name was Sofia and she had Stormy Flare
Stormy Flare then later had me

The trio Wonderbolts grew smaller as they check the family album once more.

My great aunt Michelle had a sister Raquel
Whose maiden name used to be Megan

Surprise was sitting next to Megan as she giggles while pointing to her human friend.

She was growing up, too, in Lime-a, Buckaroo
and married Roberto Gonzalez

Spitfire, smirking, picks up Rainbow, who is now wearing a diaper and a foal bonnet, much to her confusion. The Wonderbolt threw her to Soarin', both are now in wedding outfits, making them blush a bit.

Soarin' now drags Rainbow over to a foal carriage that Spitfire is sitting in. The mare grew to a big size before leaving. Soarin' moves to the side as Spitfire, back to normal, takes her family album out for herself, Rainbow and Soarin' to check out.

Well, he had Raquel, they had Miguel
Who grew up in Equestriador, see
Then he moved to Baa-hia and married Stormy Flare
And he and Stormy Flare had me

As Spitfire's family tree grows, Rainbow and Soarin' dances around, but the mare ends up being pushed up, making her looked up in confusion. The Peasus groans as she takes off the wedding dress, doing her best to take it off.

Soarin' and Spitfire: Ay, yi, yi, yi
She’s Spitfire Romero Miguel Junipero Rodriguez
Why, why, oh, why-e?

Soarin': You have a first name, it's really too long!

Spitfire: I'll try to explain, so follow along!

Spitfire proceeds to sliding down a part of the tree trunk that Rainbow is trying to climb. The Wonderbolts captain begins point out various pictures on her family tree while singing.

My father and mother, they married each other
The best man was cousin Romero
The minister came and went by the name of Father Francisco Quintero
Well, it turns out my mother, her favorite brother
was called Junipero, you see

Spitfire now climbs up to the family tree with Rainbow and Soarin' joining her.

So my father and mother,
the priest and the brother
are names that were given to me

Rainbow yelps as she almost slipped for a moment but recovers as she and Soarin' flew on either side of Spitfire.

Soarin': That's why she’s Spitfire Romero Miguel Junipero Francisco Quintero Rodriguez

The trio of Pegasus ponies land on the ground. As the leaders dance, they show various pictures, which includes General Firefly and Colonel Purple Dart for some reason.

Spitfire: Descended from family in Cloudsdale,
Chill, Baa-zill and a couple in Marellas
And when I go out and ponies all shout,
"Who can that possibly be?"

The trio did a pose as Spitfire did one more dance as the performance came to an end.

Why, it's Spitfire Romero Miguel Junipero Francisco Quintero Rodriguez,
That's me!

With the performance done, the audience applauds. A really good song that most of the audience likes.

"So did it work?" Ben ask as he, Twilight and Nyx peeks out from offstage. Pinkie must've saw that and is inspired to be herself!

In the dining area, Pinkie is getting dishes from a table...but didn't spill a single thing! The pink mare was too much into her job that she didn't pay any attention to the song at all!

"No, it didn't work." Twilight said with a groan while shaking her head.

"Now what?" Nyx ask with a sigh in concern. It will take another miracle to snap her Auntie Pinkie Pie of her new state.

"Hmmm, perhaps if we were to show another Pinkie Pie cartoon..." Ben said thoughtfully. Perhaps if Pinkie saw another one of her cartoons, that would snap her out of it, right?

"Why not? Anything's worth a try at this point." Twilight said with a shrug.

"All right, play the next cartoon, AJ."

As Applejack plays the final cartoon of the night, the audience applauds.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A PINKIE PIE CARTOON

How to Wash Dishes

Pinkie looks miserable as she washes dishes inside Sugarcube Corner. She is bored while standing in the dishwashing room. And it didn't help that her usual narrator begins to irritate her.

"You will never find a more dynamic personage than that of the humble dishwasher! Watch the joy in her eyes as she submerges each fragile dish into the soapy suds, then makes sure each dish is rinsed and set upon the rack to dry off."

Pinkie of course isn't cheerfully, she is washing dishes, looking miserable. How could this be the next How to Lesson? She does dishes at this job and it's boring and miserable! Even the pink pony can't stand it at this point.

"This is the life of the steadfast dishwasher. Every day, she doesn't complain and always does her job with a cheerful demeanor."

"AWWW, ENOUGH ALREADY, SHUT UP!!!" Pinkie screams, having enough at the narrator. "Look, sorry, Mr. Narrator, but I know fun but washing dishes ain't fun! I do dishes every day and have to put up with the arguing if I get it wrong! Ugh! I mean, it's miserable! Doing dishes is boring! I can do a lot of How To's but when it comes to doing dishes, I gotta draw the line somewhere! Find me another How To thing to do, or I'm leaving!"

"Hmmm, you aren't being your cheerful self, Pinkie. You're Miss Cranky Tensy. Perhaps you need a vacation."

"Wait, a vacation? But I don't have the bits to afford one!" Pinkie exclaims in concern as she has no bits to even afford a vacation.

"Pinkie, who needs money when you could charge it on your shiny new credit card?"

To Pinkie's surprise, a hand appears, giving a credit card to Pinkie who takes it in interest.

"It's the Equestria Express! Just be careful not to spend it all like mad. Anyway, now how about a How To on vacation? Would that make you better?"

"Okie dokie lokie, Mr. Narrator!" Pinkie exclaims happily to the narrator. As long as she uses the credit card wisely, this How To sketch will be a breeze!

"Great! I will tell Mr. and Mrs. Cake that you're taking a week's vacation earlier than expected."

Pinkie squeals in delight as she begins bouncing around, visiting various shops. The mare drops by a travel agent to get a glove, then a luggage shop to get a few bits of suitcase, then to a clothes shop to get a new set of clothes. And each time, Pinkie exclaims, "Charge it" each time.

Pinkie smiles as her new credit card. Oh, she will have a lot of good uses for this baby!

It was a while later as the lesson was about to begin.

"HOW TO TAKE A VACATION! First off, choosing your destination!"

Pinkie grins as she checks out the world map. Where to go to for her vacation?

"Now then, there are numerous vacation destinations that the modern dishwasher will find available..."

"Uh, Mr. Narrator?" Pinkie interrupts with a frown. "No using the D word, and I mean my job, of course!"

"Right, sorry...modern TRAVELER..."

"Much better." Pinkie giggles as she checks the world map.

"Perhaps a nice trip to Boar-a Boar-a..."

Pinkie suddenly yelps as red lines came from Los Pegasus to a place in an Asian like pony place, then Cowlifornia to other places. Pinkie does her best to keep up but the red lines tied up the pink pony.

"...or maybe Parrot-o Parrot? New Colt, New Colt? Timbuffalotu? Kangarmazoo? Or here, there, anywhere, down here, up there? Or here there...or ahem...there there?"

"Hay, I will take them all!" Pinkie squeals as she takes her credit card. More than one vacation is Super Duper Fun to her! "Charge it!"

"For the next step, getting there!"

It was a day later as Pinkie sat on an airplane going to a random destination. The mare got her table down as she prepares for her in-flight meal. What's to eat? The pink pony cannot wait!

"Now the modern in-flight meal is a marvel of culinary invention from Earth. Every passenger is given a three-course gourmet dinner."

Pinkie happily used her credit to card to pay for the meal before it was given to her. As the lid is lifted, the pink pony show...that the meal is really, really small.

"Wow, bite-sized." Pinkie said in amazement. A small dinner on this flight.

It was a while later as the attendants are handing out headphones. Pinkie, noticing, take her credit card with a smile.

"To help pass the travel line, a long flight might include a major motion picture!"

Pinkie gave her card to the attendant before she was given the headphones. After putting them on, the pink pony listen to the movie that is playing...too bad it's a little far away. Pinkie shrugs it off, adding, "Bite-sized. Hee hee."

It was a little later in the night time as Pinkie is starting to get sleepy. Time to get some sleep.

"Now, on really long flights into the night, it pays to get a really comfortable night's sleep."

"Better put my PJs on." Pinkie yawns as she got up. The mare heads over to the bathroom...and used a credit card to get inside. Which is odd because it wasn't a pay bathroom. "Blue water...nice."

Pinkie, in the space that she is able to get, put on her night shirt. But the pink pony was stuck inside. The Earth pony does her best to push the doors open...and with moderate success. Pinkie yelps as she lands on a beverage cart...and falls out of the airplane, causing both to fall right downward to the ocean below.

Pinkie recovered and, now realizing what's happening, looks at the beverage cart, saying, "All right. Drinks! Squee!"

"Yes, sometimes before turning in, our globe-trotting dishwash..."

"Hey, hey, hey! You're in the plane and far away, but I can still hear your narration, buddy!" Pinkie snaps in irritation as she goes through her cap for the credit.

"My bad. Globe-trotting TRAVELER..."

"Much better." Pinkie giggles. She uses her credit card to open up the beverage compartment.

"Anyway, he or she would wanna sample the extensive beverage menu on the jumbo jet."

Pinkie was able to get a couple of caps before putting soda in them, along with ice cubes and a cherry. The happy pink pony shakes it up a bit and open the cart to get a glass. She somehow was able to make an ice cream sundae out of that drink. Impressive, huh? Even I am!

"Ah, isn't that delicious?"

To make fall short, Pinkie was enjoying her sundae as both her and the cart landed right into the water. Upon landing, the pink pony begins to lay down at the ocean's bottom, settling next to a rock.

"And now, she's ready to get a lovely sleep. The mare knows that when she wakes up, she will be a in a strange yet new and exciting land!"

Too bad a nearby squid grabs Pinkie, causing her to scream in alarm as she fights with the watery opponent.

"Time for us to move on to...souvenirs!"

It was a day or so later as Pinkie is now in a different land. The pony hops around the native villages and found a souvenir shop. The pink pony smiles as she goes into the place.

"Now the most important part of any vacation is the souvenirs. Those items are the best to show your friends and family that you actually been somewhere!"

Pinkie checks out the stuff as she takes, exclaiming, "Okie dokie lokie! I will have the Parrotnama cap, the congo bongos, the Mareuda Triangle shorts, and..."The mare pauses while the stallion at the register blinks a bit. "...oh! And the Wendigo Arctic snow globe! And charge it!"

Pinkie put the items she wanted to buy onto the counter then gave the stallion her card, who takes it with glee before giving the card back. Pinkie happily heads out with her new souvenirs, trotting off...only for a carriage to swerved past the mare, causing Pinkie's stuff to fall.

"Moving on to...gourmet dining."

Pinkie smiles as she prepares to eat at a restaurant. After the vacation so far, the mare needs to get a meal.

"Now, our warm-heart dishwasher..."

"Grrr..." Pinkie growls at the narrator for using the "d" word again.

"...err, warm-hearted traveler!"

"Much better!" Pinkie exclaims with a smile. Nothing will ruin her good mood and vacation now!

"...would wanna sample the dishes of every county she visits."

Pinkie smiles as a plate of spaghetti was given to her. The mare eats it far. Next, the pony tried a plate of fried broccoli happily and with pleasure. Pinkie was served the soup which she ate with delight.

When Pinkie was done eaten, she was given the bill. The mare hands her card over to the waiter, saying, "As usual, charge it." Pinkie burps in delight. That meal was great!

"Err, Pinkie? Did you used your credit for everything you purchased?"

"I did. Why?" Pinkie asked confused, wondering why the narrator is asking that just now.

"Because I was checking through your mail that just came while you are gone and you got a bill for 25,000 bits! And also..."

Without warning, Pinkie yelps as the unicorn waiter came back, frowning at the credit card. To the mare's shock, the magic number that flashes that shows how many the pink pony just has left is now down to 0! Pinkie just gave a nervous chuckle as the waiter uses his magic to pull out a pair of scissors to cut the credit card into pieces!

"...there isn't any bits left in the card, you maxed it out with the last purchase!"

"Oh, I think I may have overdone it." Pinkie said nervously.

"You think? Well, time for the final step in the vacation...paying the bill."

To pay off the bill for her meal, Pinkie has to do the same position she was when the cartoon began: washing dishes and being miserable inside the kitchen of the same restaurant!

"Well, perhaps that will teach you a lesson on using your credit card wisely, Miss Pie. But don't look down, right? We're on vacation after all..."

"AWW, SHUT UP!" Pinkie snaps grumpily as she resumes washing dishes. No need for the narrator to rub it in!

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is over, the audience applauds once more. Once again, another good one. But to the dismay of most of the staff, Pinkie wasn't even paying attention to the cartoon. She kept on focusing on her work.

"Well, that idea was a bust!" Phobos exclaims as he, Twilight, Ben, Rainbow, Nyx, Spike, Soarin' and Spitfire sighs while looking out.

"Well, we can still fix this!" Soarin' exclaims with a smile.

"Right, let me do another song!" Spitfire exclaims in agreement.

"No offense, Spitfire, but if your song didn't work the last time, why should it now?" Spike ask Spitfire with a frown.

"He's right, no. I know Pinkie better than anyone." Twilight said with a big frown. "Time for me to do what I should've done in the first place. Ben? Get the others but Pinkie so I can conclude the show."

"No problem, Twiley." Ben said with a nod as he trots off to do the task at hoof here.

"So what are you going to do, egghead?" Rainbow ask her friend curiously. What else could Twilight do that her fellow Wonderbolts has failed to do so far?

"You'll see." Twilight said with a smile. This is her last chance to get the real Pinkie back!

For a moment, it looks like Pinkie will never come back, but Twilight has one more plan. Once she got stage, the Alicorn signals to Nyx, Spike, Phobos, Rainbow, Ben, Rarity, Applejack, Brian, Fluttershy, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, as well as the foals to join her on stage.

"Hey, thanks for coming to our show today! I had a great time with all of you! I especially like to thank our special guests, Soarin' and Spitfire of the Wonderbolts!" Twilight exclaims, smiling as Soarin' and Spitfire came onto the stage to give a bow to the applauding audience. "But that isn't all. I'd like to thank all the greatest cartoons tonight which starred our very own, Pinkie Pie."

As Pinkie was getting dishes, she hears her name causing her to stop and turn in surprise while the audience applauds. They like it when she is random in those cartoons? And not what she is now?

"Yeah, listen, Pinkie, me and the others? We want to apologize for what we said before." Twilight said as she motions to the others who nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we appreciate you being polite and courteous, but we'd like you better when you're you, the funny pony, the random one. We rather that you don't change into something you aren't. So how about it? Can you go back to being yourself?"

"Wow..." Pinkie said, sniffing while shedding a tear. Her friends like it when she's random. "Do you really mean it?"

"Now would we lie when we're just good words?" Rarity ask Pinkie with a smile.

"Right, we all missed ya, Pinks!" Brian exclaims, even he missed his filly-friend's random antics.

"Shoot, ain't the same wit'out yew." Applejack said in agreement, missing the old Pinkie.

"Right, so how about be the Element of Laughter again?" Nyx ask her Auntie Pinkie Pie with cute pleading eyes.

"Right, come back!" Mrs. Cake insists as the foal twins gave pleading eyes to their favorite foal-sitters. "Even Pound and Pumpkin Cake like you the way you truly are!"

"Right! Sure, you're weird and random...but you're our friend." Spike said with a smile of agreement,.

"We like ya just the way you are, random and all." Rainbow remarks with a chuckle. Funny because it's true.

"And that's all right by us." Ben said with a smile. "Besides, you not being yourself is really boring to be honest."

"Yes, it isn't fun doing tables when my friend isn't herself." Fluttershy said with a nod, wanting Pinkie back.

"So think we can see the old Pinkie Pie again?" Twilight ask with a smile, hoping that Pinkie will go back to whom she really is.

"Well, why not?" Pinkie ask with a giggle while bouncing up and now. "Being unfunny is Super Duper boring anyway! I am now the regular, funny and occasionally clumsy Pinkie Pie! But before I do...Soarin', this one is for you!"

Pinkie happily grabs a tablecloth on the table that the Gen 3.5 versions of Pinkie Pie, Starsong and Cheerilee are sitting at. Starsong, sensing what's about to happen, screams out, "Run for it!" The three mares run off just as the waitress pulls the tablecloth. And as expected, Pinkie got herself tied up by the said tablecloth while the dishes fell right off the table.

"Ta-dah!"

Pinkamena laughs happily, "Well, happy Pinkie Pie is back to being Pinkie Pie."

"Indeed, it is sister, a lesson have been learned." Golden Heart remarks in agreement. The gang decided that it's best for Pinkie to just be herself.

"Well, seems like the show's going to end for now but the next one will be coming soon. Look forward to it."

The gang laughs happily with Twilight chuckling, "Well, welcome back, Pinkie Pie." The mare turns to the audience as she adds, "And we'll welcome you back next time so see you soon!"

House of Pony: Season 2

Episode Twenty: Everypony Loves Twilight Sparkle

Everything is back to normal at the House of Pony...well, what counts as normal anyway. Pinkie felt a lot better after the incident was over and work harder than ever since then. Okay, she tends to slip up again and often, but the pink pony also managed to give her service with a smile.

Although, today, one Earth Pony isn't doing that: Applejack. She doesn't mind her job of sitting at the booth, playing the cartoons for the guests. However, although being the Element of Honesty, the cowpony isn't being a bit honest because of what happened today.

This episode shows what happened on that day.

"And now, everypony's best friend as well as mine, TWILIGHT SPARKLE!" Spike announces eagerly to the audience who applauds.

Twilight slid onto the stage, smiling as she exclaims, "Hey, ponies! Good evening and we got a very special show today. Why? Because it's Open Mike Night! So if anyone is willing to try out an act, feel free to come in and any perform. Any takers and we will be glad to take them! The sign-ups are down the hall!"

Psychopath Joke overheard as he laughs, "Ha ha ha, oh yes! Good idea, princess! I will finally get a chance to show your audience some REAL comedy!"

"Oh? I didn't know that there was a film of your last date."

Everyone in the room laughs, making Psychopath Joke frowns angrily at that. The princess has went and made a fool out of him in front of the heroes and villains of Equestria, even his fellow Dark Mystic Ponies are laughing at him!

"So... The Princess thinks she's funny. We'll see who gets the last laugh. Oh that's right. I'm the one gets the last laugh." Psychopath Joke remarks as he laugh crazily and maniacally.

Rarity and Rainbow were at the front, doing their usual jobs while taking up signups for those wishing to participate in the Open Mike Night. However, to their surprise, a familiar Earth Pony was nearby and she looks upset.

"A.J? Aren't you supposed to be in the booth?" Rainbow ask, arching an eyebrow to her friend.

"Indeed. What on earth are you doing here?" Rarity ask as she notes the foul mood look on the cowpony's face. Something is wrong with Applejack. "My dear... Are you alright? You look more upset."

"That's a first..."

Applejack groans, shaking her head while explaining, "Everypony loves Twilight Sparkle."

"What's wrong with that? Everyone does that, even you. You are her first best friend." Rarity said, pointing out that she was the first to befriend Twilight when the then-unicorn first came to Ponyville.

"Yeah. You should be proud of it. Well, of course, we should since we opened her eyes to friendship." Rainbow said to Applejack of that fact.

"Not anymore... Coz nopony loves me..." Applejack scowls as she put her flank onto the desk while crossing her upper forelegs.

Rainbow laughed in disbelief, "Seriously? You're kidding? Right."

Rarity nodded as she said, "Besides, you're imagining things."

Suddenly Sting flew up, exclaiming to the ponies, "Hey, help, help! Rarity, I'm so glad I caught you! I got to get the flowers to Queen Bumble tomorrow and I'm late enough as it is!"

"No offense, Sting, but your time management problems isn't of my concern."

"Ah can handle wit' that. It ain't a problem." Applejack said with a smile. This is her chance to prove herself!

"You? I don't think so." Rarity said in concern, worried for the worst. "I don't even think that you can fix your car with your temper. Yours is worse than Rainbow's."

"Hey! What do yew mean Ah had a worst temper than Rainbow?"

"Yeah... That would be the proof of it." Rainbow said in worry. The Pegasus pony can tell that her friendly has spent WAY too much time in booth. "Why don't you and I switch jobs for tonight? Just take the day off from the booth. You've been cooping inside it too much."

Applejack sighed, "Ah wouldn't mind taking a new job fer a change. But unlike Shining Armor, Ah know what to do wit' 'de door girl stuff."

"While you're at it, ask Twilight about the time management." Rarity said to Applejack, making her a bit irritated upon hearing that.

Applejack groaned as she took her leave, "Whatever..."

"What is wrong with her?"

"Jealous problem? I'd never thought that A.J is jealous of Twilight Sparkle." Rainbow said in concern for Applejack's problems. "She never gets jealous of anyone before, not even Twilight."

"That's usually your apartment on it." Rarity said with a sly smirk on her face.

"Yeah... Hey!"

As Applejack came into the backstage area, he saw Ben and Pinkie talking as the brown pony spoke up, "Hey, Pinkie? Remember the adventure where Applejack disappeared for a while and we couldn't get her to come back and found out later it's because she didn't get the first place ribbons in the Equestria rodeo?"

"Ooooh, yeah!" Pinkie exclaims as she bounces up and down. "The one where Derpy Hooves shows up and meanie critics criticized it because of her?"

"Right. Do you know the name of the adventure? I'm trying to put it in the logbook."

"Uh...oh, oh...I know this one..."

Applejack smiles eagerly, another opportunity! The Earth Pony came over as she spoke, "Shucks, Ah done couldn't help but overheard ya speaking about it. Ah know 'de adventure because Ah was in it. It was called "Appleloosa's Most Wanted", our recent one in years Ah reckoned."

"Uh, actually Applejack..." Twilight said as she passed by. "It was called "The Last Roundup", the Equestria rodeo wasn't even in Appleloosa."

"Ah, tar feathers!"

"Wow, Applejack. You starred in "The Last Roundup" and don't even remember the name of it?" Pinkie ask in a disbelief amusing chuckle. "Wow."

Applejack grumbled under her breath. Once again, she was shown up!

The Cutie mark Crusaders were having a break in the band pit when Applejack came up, smiling as she said, "Hey, girls! Glad Ah bump into ya three. Why not play a little song?"

"But sis, it's our break!" Apple Bloom points out to her sister that she and her friends are in the middle of their break.

"Right, and we ain't even done eating yet." Sweetie said in agreement.

"Plus, we aren't supposed to play again until..." Scootaloo begins to say, pointing out that it isn't time for the girls to resume their task.

Suddenly Twilight came up, smiling as she exclaims, "Hey girls! Say, when you three are done eating, how about a little music?"

"Eeyup! Anything fer yew, Twilight!" Apple Bloom exclaims in delight as she and her friends prepared to get to band performance.

"We are just about done!" Sweetie exclaims happily to the princess Alicorn.

"We're going to punch in soon!" Scootaloo exclaims in agreement.

Applejack looks stunned then grumbled under her breath as she storms off. Her good friend has shown her up again! Unbelievable!

The fillies overheard Applejack as Sweetie Belle spoke to Apple Bloom, "Did you sister muttered?"

Scootaloo whistled in concern at this, "Wow... It was usually Rainbow Dash who does that whenever she gets jealous."

"Wait a minute! Yer're saying Applejack gets jealous?" Apple Bloom ask, shocked that it was suggested that her sister is getting jealous. "No way. Yer're kidding, right? Mah sister never gets jealous of somepony especially Twilight Sparkle."

"Why is everyone loving Twilight Sparkle?!" Applejack is heard yelling, making the girls glare at their friend as if asking 'you were saying?'

Apple Bloom gulped, "Ah spoke too soon. What's gotten into her?"

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo shrugged in concern. This may not end well.

As Applejack trots off to the post, Fluttershy flies up to her, exclaiming, "Applejack! Oh, I'm so glad I caught you. I need your help!"

"Really? What is it?" Applejack ask eagerly as she listens to what Fluttershy is saying.

"Well, this is embarrassing. But you see, the fanmake versions of us from My Little Heroines wish to split a salad. Oh, but I can't figure out how to do it evenly. I can split it in half to get two salads, again to get four, and again to get eight...but I still can't get seven. Oh, can you please help me?"

"Hang on, uh...let me think..."

Of course, Twilight was passing by when she overheard the problem. The mare smiles as she spoke up, "Say, I couldn't help but overhear this problem. And I got a solution. Now, you have eight salads and wanted to give them to the seven My Little Heroines heroes like Blossom, Kim Possible, Buttercup, Fifi La Fume, Lilo Pelekai, Bubbles and Shirley the Loon? Isn't there an eighth person amongst them?"

"Well, let's see...Ryan didn't come....oh, but Furrball did!" Fluttershy exclaims, gasping in surprise. "Oh dear, I almost forgot about that poor kitty."

"Well, there you go! Who needs seven salads? With Furrball, you now have eight people!"

"Wow, you are a genius, Twilight!" Fluttershy smiles to Applejack, who looks down that her friend show her up AGAIN. The Pegasus said, "Don't be sad. At least Twilight knows all of our adventures well."

Applejack growls furiously as she storms off, "Oh, everypony loves Twilight Sparkle. Everypony loves her! Twilight 'dis, 'Twilight 'dat. Twilight, Twilight, Twilight! Awww, horse feathers!"

Applejack groans in sadness. What a sad day she is having.

Applejack was standing near Rarity's desk, sighing in concern. She is having one bad day lately.

Just then an old friend of Applejack's, Countess Coloratura AKA Rara came in, surprised to see her friend near the desk. She spoke up, "Applejack? What's she doing here? I thought she was working as the film manager."

Rarity shrugs as she explains, "Applejack switched with Rainbow Dash for some fresh air. Cooped inside the film studio can sometimes make her tired and crazy a bit."

"Ha... Ha... Rarity..." Applejack remarks dryly to the Element of Generosity. It was so funny, the cowpony almost forgot to laugh!

Rarity cleared her throat as she spoke, "Anyway, Applejack, So, how's your work?"

"Just terrific."

"AJ, you don't sound happy. Is something wrong?" Rara ask Applejack in concern. Her friend since foalhood is a bit sadden and upset lately. Why?

"You can talk with us. We're your friends too." Rarity said gently to Applejack.

Applejack sighed, at least there are some friends who are willing to listen, "Thanks. You see, nopony-!" However Applejack yelps as Rarity pushes her aside, interrupting what she was going to say.

"Sorry, Applejack! Twilight's on! We'll talk later!"

"Twilight this, Twilight that. Everypony loves Twilight Sparkle! It ticks me off!"

Twilight storms off, much to the two's notice and surprise. Rara whispered to Rarity, "I don't remember Applejack being jealous. She's never jealous of anyone, not even me when I was Countess Coloratura."

"I'm a bit surprise too. But don't worry, she'll get over it." Rarity whispers to Rara right back. The cowpony has gotten through some tight spots before. She can do so this time.

"I hope so. Applejack can be stubborn as a mule. No offense."

Rara was speaking to a familiar Mule who remarks, "None taken."

In the audience, a concerned Pinkamena spoke to her brother, "Poor Applejack, she is having a rough day.

"Indeed she is." Golden Heart said with a nod. Pinkamena ponders as she slowly looks seeing Psychopath joke, giving a stern look.

"He is up to something and I am going to find out. See you in a while brother."

Pinkamena slowly slides down goes under the table and zips around, watching Psychopath Joke.

"All right, everypony! I know you're going to enjoy our first cartoon of the night big time!" Twilight exclaims to the audience, smiling as she got back on stage.

The audience applauds. Ben spoke into the usual headset, "Okay, Applejack, hit it!"

"Sorry, you've got the wrong pony to call." Rainbow jokes as she sat in Applejack's booth. Ben's surprised, what is she doing in there?

"What the-? Rainbow Dash? What are you doing in there? Where's Applejack?"

"She and I switched jobs, so she can have some fresh air. And of course, she needs some cool off from being jealous of Twilight Sparkle."

"Applejack? Jealous? You're kidding?" Ben ask in bewilderment. If Rainbow is joking, he doesn't like it. "She'd never jealous of anypony, not even Twilight."

"Yeah, me too. But best you keep an eye on her. Just make sure she won't do something silly as I did." Rainbow remarks to Ben with a nod.

"Alright. Hit it. You remember the AJ's schedule, right?"

"Don't worry, AJ taught me well; Okay, here we go!" Rainbow said as she kicks at the player, staring the cartoon. "It's on the show!"

The audience applauds as the first cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENT...

A BEN MARE CARTOON

Ben's Rival Returns

Ben Mare and his pals Flash Sentry and Sunburst were at a local beach relaxing. The boys and their gals Twilight, Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer are on the beach to have some time in the sun, the princess's students came with them for some friendship lessons. Ben lies down on the sand, sighing a bit...

"Man, this is a great day, huh guys?" Ben ask his pals with a smirk.

"i know! No problems, no monsters, just some time in the sun." Flash said with a light chuckle.

"Right, best off..." Sunburst was interrupted as he hears roaring nearby. "What the hay?!"

The stallions turns and yelps as they saw a big AV being driven onto the sand before stopping, sending a bunch of sand right onto Ben's group, covering them and making them look like Sand Sphinxes. When they shook the sand off, Ben Flash and Sunburst glares at the driver in the vehicle and his goons: Boris, Boxco and Dum-Dum!

"Hey, boys! Look at this, it's the Prince of Friendship!" Boris chuckles cruelly.

Ben and his pals yelped as they ducked. This is because Boxco tosses a beach umbrella at them which flew past over their heads, landing nearby and opened up, magically dropping a couple of technological items like a massage chair and a mini-fridge of Apple Cider.

"Hey Boris, hey guys." Ben remarks dryly to the bad guys.

"They look like real sand dogs!" Dum-Dum remarks as Boxco laughs stupidly.

Boris rolls his eyes as he uses his magic to send sand onto his boys, making them stop laughing. He snaps, "Its sandwiches, you dopes! Ugh!"

"Sorry!" The two goons remarks embarrassedly as Boris jumps into his chair, sighing.

"Well, it's a nice day to go to the beach, right Ben?"

"Well, you said it." Ben said, smirking as he put on some sunglasses, round ones.

Boris, upon noticing, decided to one-up his rival by putting on the square sunglasses to compete. Ben then pulls out a bottle of Apple Cider from his cooler to take a drink. Boris of course uses a remote to open the mini-fridge that gave him a big bottle of apple cider to drink.

Ben responded by turning on a mini-fan to cool himself down, Boris just turns on an AC next to the mini-fridge to cool himself down. The hero turns on the radio to listen to some music. Boris does the same thing...but his radio comes with high-tech speakers which blared so loudly, it knocked Ben, the others and their beach items out.

"Yeah! Go boss, go!" Boxco and Dum-Dum cheers on wildly.

"Oh, someone's going all right." Flash scowls as he flew over and turns the music off, much to Boris's annoyance.

"Hey, what are you doing?! That's my music, Sentry!" Boris remarks with a scowl. "Are you and your pals looking for trouble?!"

"Oh, somepony is going to get trouble all right!" Ben growls angrily as he and his pals glares at Boris and his goons. It looks like a big rumble is about to happen on this beach right now.

"Hey, Ben, hey Boris!" A familiar voice spoke out. The boys stopped what they're doing as they turn see Twilight in a bathing suit. Sunset and Starlight are with her in bathing suits of their own. "Lovely day, right?"

"Oh, I say it's beautiful." Ben said, giving a big smile to Twilight with Boris doing the same thing.

"Right, it's a good day. Twilight thought we could find a friendship lesson right here." Starlight explains as Sunburst smiles to his filly.

"Well, see ya." Sunset chuckles as the mares heads off to have their time in the sun, if only to soak in a few rays.

As the mares took their leave of the colts, mostly Ben and Boris who were about to fight when the girls show up, the two, realizing that they're still in the air, both fell right onto their faces.

"You okay, boss?" Dum-Dum ask as he and Boxco helped Boris to his hooves.

"Oh, you bet. Boy, that Twilight Sparkle is one big knockout. Later, Benny!" Boris chuckles as he smooth his mane, preparing to leave.

"Hold it right there!" Ben snaps as he pulls Boris's tail with his own mouth. "Where do you think you're going?"

Their pals watch as Benm and Boris tries to fight, racing to get to Twilight. These guys are very determined to win her over!

"Hey, Twiley? Wanna go swimming?" Boris, quicker, ask Twilight near the volleyball nets.

"No thanks, Boris." Twilight said, politely refusing.

Ben caught up to Twilight, smiling as he said, "Hey, Twiley! Wanna get a lemonade?"

"Thanks, but no thanks. Ben. We're only here to get some sun before tonight's luau. See you boys later."

As the girls leave, Ben and Boris smirks at the same time, having the same idea...and spoke the same thing, "Luau! It's settled then! I shall ask Twilight to be my date to the luau!" The stallions shook their heads as they realize what the other said. "Wait, what?"

"Yeah, go ask her boss." Boxco remarks with a nod of stupidity.

"Uh, doesn't he have Trixie?" Flash ask the two stooges with a frown.

"I'm sure Trixie won't mind." Dum-Dum remarks with a shrug, not really getting it.

"Oh, forget it, Boris! You and I both know that Twilight is my fillyfriend. So she's going to be my own date!" Ben exclaims to Boris in determination. However the bad guy snorts and laughs at this. "And what's so funny?"

"Oh, just the fact that there's no way you will ever have a chance with Twilight." Boris remarks wickedly to Ben.

"Oh really, why not?" Sunburst demands to Boris sternly.

"Who wanna go for a ridiculous Earth Filth like him...when she could have someone rich, handsome, athletic and sophisticated like me?"

"Because she knows you're a stupid jerk who is mean against Earth ponies and humans, that's why." Flash snaps to Boris furiously.

"You also hang with the Brotherhood of Injustice, commit crimes on various occasions and tried to harm Nyx!" Sunburst exclaims in agreement.

"Also, rich? Please, it's your daddy's money you're using! Handsome? Please! Athletic, maybe. But sophisticated? Ha! How about proving it?" Ben demands to his rival with a frown.

"All right, very well, then. How about we make a deal." Boris said with a smirk, having an idea on how to settle this. "We're near a volleyball court so how about we play a round of game between me and my boys against you and your pals?"

"Right! Winner takes Twilight Sparkle to the luau!" Boxco remarks with a smirk while Dum-Dum nodded eagerly. This is going to be fun.

"Wait, are you suggesting that we treat Twilight like some type of trophy?" Ben gasped in alarm and annoyance. "Forget it! I wouldn't do that to her!"

"Oh, well, I would completely understand if you're too chicken to compete with Boris." Boris remarks with a sigh, hoping that saying that will rile his enemy up.

Ben twitches a bit. Flash protest, "Ben, don't do it. He will try to cheat you, even if you do win."

"Right, there's no point in trying to do this." Sunburst said in agreement, "Starlight and Sunset wouldn't agree to this if..."

"Oh, well, I will have them as well. I will have all mares with me." Boris boasted, much to Flash and Sunburst's shock and alarm. "Of course, if you boys are too much of wussies to go along with it..."

"YOU'RE ON!" Flash and Sunburst exclaims angrily to Boris. No one tries to take their gals.

"All right, we will play your little game." Ben snaps as he takes a volleyball nearby. No one calls him a chicken and gets away with it! "And to be fair, no magic or flying!"

Boris gave a hidden smirk to himself. This will be an easy win for him...also, even if he does lose, he got a little backup plan.

As the game is about to begin, Ben was bouncing the ball up as Flash and Sunburst prepares themselves.

"Hang on, guys, I gotta warm up first!" Dum-Dum calls out from the other side of the net. Ben, Boris and the others shakes their heads, sighing as they waited. Dum-Dum did some stretches as well as some hoof push-ups, trotting in place. He jump-roped and twisted himself around. With a smile, Dum-Dum begins to speak, "All right, I'm read..."

Before Dum-Dum could finish, Ben serves the ball, hitting him in the face hard and knocking the stooge down. He got up and shook his head in shock.

"Just getting warmed up." Ben remarks with a smirk, mocking what Dum-Dum said earlier.

Soon the volleyball game truly begins as the boys hit the ball back and forth. At one point, Boris puts on some boxing gloves and punch the ball five times, sending it back to the good guys, grounding them down. The villain laughs as Sunburst recovers and volleyballs the ball up, knocking it right at Boris's face and knocking him down.

A bit later, the game was pretty even. It was Boxco's turn to serve. He smirks and held the ball up, hiding a pin in his own wing. As the white Pegasus threw the ball into the air, he punched it with the pin, causing the air to go flying right out of the ball, sending it right to Ben's group who tries to hit it.

Flash soon grabs the ball, causing him to fly past Sunset who doesn't realize what was going on right now. She is reading a magazine right now. Flash somehow flew out of the world and lets the volleyball go, falling right down and hitting the ground, causing the deflated ball to go down in the air. Boris smirks as there's another point for him.

Ben at one point hit the ball very hard...causing it to hit someone. Grimmore came out and thrown the ball hard on Ben for hitting the ball straight to his head.

The hero threw the ball right more. This time, Dragoking got ticked off and chased after Ben while trying to eat him for slamming the ball on his flanks.

The next time, Boris threw the ball...and this time, they hit someone. As the trio of bad guys tries to get their ball off, they saw to their horror who the ball just hit. Devil Destroyer got very angry while glowing in red like wanting to kill someone. Boris and his teammates quickly grabbed the volleyball and ran off.

The game soon came to the point that Ben's group was really ahead. Boris will have to play dirty. Since magic and flying are not allowed, the trio of bad guys used a volleyball shooter. Ben, Flash and Sunburst tried to hit the ball. The balls became too much but all of them fell, and sure enough, our heroes was able to get ahead by one point.

Ben's group needed one more point to win the game for sure. And it's Boxco's turn to serve. The purple unicorn smirks as he put the volleyball into a cannon and hit the fuse. The good guys gulped in worry, this may not end well!

Dum-Dum fires the volleyball, sending it through the net and right past Ben's group and the oblivious girls. The ball went around the beach as Dum-Dum laughs madly...unaware that the ball flew right behind him before it knocked the villain right out.

The ball meanwhile went over Ben's net as he swatted the ball right at the recovering Dum-Dum who groaned out. Boris groans as he slaps himself in annoyance.

"Game, set and match." Ben said with a smirk as he and his pals leave. Looks like this game is theirs. They came over to Twilight's group as Ben coughs. "Hey, Twiley!"

"Huh? Oh, hey, Ben." Twilight said as she looks up from a book that she's reading.

"Say, Twilight? Wanna be my date at the luau tonight?"

"Sure, I'd like that."

"How about you girls join us?" Flash ask Sunset and Starlight with a smile as Sunburst nodded in agreement. "We're going too."

"Sure, it would be fine." Starlight remarks with a delightful giggle.

"We would love to go. Got nothing else better to do tonight." Sunset said in agreement.

But then, Boris smirks, coming over. Time to deploy his backup plan. As he gave Ben the volleyball, confusing the stallion as he spoke, "Well, congratulations, Ben. Guess you won your trophy after all."

"Trophy? What trophy?" Twilight ask confused, making Ben shaking his head in shock.

"Well, don't you know?" Boxco ask Twilight with a smirk before Ben could speak up. "Boris and Ben wanted to go out with you and your gal pals for the luau...and Benny decided the best way was by a volleyball game!"

"Yeah, the ball was against the idea but Boris was forced to do it when Ben was calling him a chicken and so he took the challenge." Dum-Dum remarks with a nod, following through with what Boris has in mind.

"It's true. Ben's the one who said 'Let's treat Twilight like she was a type of trophy'." Boris said, much to Ben's shock and Twlight's anger. "His pals didn't wanna go through on it but he forced them by deciding to take their gals with him as well."

"What?! Benjamin Maregilligan!" Twilight exclaims shock and angry to Ben who yelped. "I expected better from you! Bad enough you treated me like a trophy, but trying to steal my friends away from their colts?!"

"Wait, Twilight, I did say the words...but Boris and his pals twisted it the other way aro..." Ben begins to protest but Twilight pushed him away in disgust. She isn't going to have it!

"And here I thought you were a gentlepony, Ben...but I can see that you are really a chauvinist PIG! Boris? I would love to be your date."

Ben looks stunned as Twilight walks off with Boris as the two goons followed. The villain smirks wickedly, looks like he did it.

"Awww, man." Ben groans as he turns around in sadness.

Starlight pauses as she spoke, "I may not be smart as Twilight, but I can smell a trick from Boris a mile away."

"And here I thought Twilight would know better after the Winter Round-Up Disaster." Sunset groans, recalling what happened the last time Twilight believes in someone than her own heart.

"Yeah...but I guess she wasn't thinking straight...and now Ben has to pay for it." Flash sighs in sadness as he looks to Ben who trots on away. Poor Ben.

It was later that night at the luau. Boris and Twilight are wearing leis while sitting at the docks with Boxco and Dum-Dum nearby, drinking Apple Cider. Ben is sitting under the docks, overhearing Boris and Twilight, making him frown. He got to find a way to prove that Boris has set him up again...but how?

"Wow, Boris, you sure are a scream." Twilight remarks to Boris with a smile.

"You, Twilight are a dream." Boris said with a smirk. Ben frowns from where he's at, looking down. "So how would you like to make my dreams come true?"

"Yeah, go for it!" The stooges cheers as Boris leans in for a kiss. But Twilight shakes her head and pushes him away. "Awww!

"Let's not ruin the moment, okay?" Twilight ask with a frown of shock. She isn't about to get that close yet!

"Hey, sweetheart, come on, how about a little sugar?" Boris ask as he tries to grab Twilight forcefully. Ben looks up in concern. That jerk is getting too "friendly".

"Would you want one lump or two?"

"I don't mean that type of sugar, come on!"

Boris leans in, ready for that kiss...but Twilight quickly punches him in the mouth. Boxco yelps in alarm, "Whoa, Boris! I guess framing Ben was the reward you get, huh?"

"Wait, what?! You framed him?!" Twilight gasps in shock at what Boxco just said, making Ben smirked. Now she realized it!

"Idiot!" Boris groans out angrily. Boxco messed up big time. "Okay, fine. We made that story up. We played volleyball and..."

"So, Ben wasn't the one who didn't wanted to treat me like a trophy and try to steal my friends away their colts...it was you!" Twilight prepares to heads off to find Ben and to apologize, but Boris tries to grab her. "Hey! Get away from me! HELP!"

Ben has had enough of listening in. He quickly flew up to the docks, snapping, "Hey, get away from my mare!"

"Hey, well, well, if it isn't my old pal..." Boris, recovering, said as he smirks...only for Ben to hits a loose board on the docks, sending him right into the air. "BENNNNYYYY!!!"

The couple watched as Boris hits the luau food table. Boxco and Dum-Dum prepares to charge Ben but two more familiar pairings blocked their way. Flash snaps angrily, "Trying to help your boss, boys?"

Sensing that they're outnumbered, Boxco and Dum-Dum nervously said, "Later!" Then they rushes off, making a gallop for it.

"Yeah, I thought you would do that." Starlight remarks with a smirk. Even Boxco and Dum-Dum would know better than to go after numbers that they can't win.

"Hmmm, your mare, huh?" Twilight ask with a frown to Ben, making him embarrassed as he blushes.

"Err, well, what I meant to say was...I'm sorry." Ben said, looking down a bit.

"Actually, it's me who should be sorry. I once again let someone else make my decisions instead of listening to my heart, just like the Winter Wrap Disaster."

"Well, at least we learned something here." Sunset said with a small smile. "Listen to your heart when it comes to your love, instead of what others has to say..."

"And never make a mare a trophy." Sunburst remarks as he and Starlight laughs at Boris's punishment.

"So Benny...wanna be my date at the luau?" Twilight ask Ben with a smile as she nuzzles Ben.

"Really? Sure, Twiley, I'd love that." Ben said with a smile. The pairings left the docks, heading over to the luau table. "And here I thought you said I was a pig."

"Oh, not really, Benny. He IS." Flash remarks with a smirk as he points a hoof at Boris...who is now lying on a plate, acting like a suckling pig.

Twilight and Ben laughs in amusement while smirking. Looks like this night ended all so well!

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

The audience applauds once the cartoon is over. It was good per usual.

At the tables, Fluttershy was serving Tree Hugger as she spoke, "Oh. Twilight was sure amazing in that story."

"Right, she's like wow, man." Tree Hugger remarks with a smile.

Applejack was passing by the table, frowning upon hearing the comment as she snaps, "Ugh!"

Applejack was heading over to the table where Psychopath Joke and Harley Witch were sitting at. The two is witnessing the mare being upset, making them amused.

"Ooh... Somepony's angry with it." Psychopath teases Applejack, making her frown.

"What do you want, clown?" Applejack snaps in irritation at the villain.

"Ooh. Don't be hard with Mr. PJ. He just want to be your friend since Twilight Sparkle doesn't care about you." Harley Witch giggles to Applejack.

"Why would I wanna be friends with a crazy killing clown?"

Psychopath Joke sighed while eating a roll off his plate, "Because Twilight Sparkle doesn't respect my jokes. Everypony knows that I'm the best jester around here."

"You said it. And nopony insults my pudding!" Harley Witch exclaims in agreement with her "pudding". "Besides, did Twilight do the same for you? She didn't even show any of your cartoons to everyone. She didn't even let you do some talents for the show."

Applejack pauses to think about it, then looks down while saying, "Well... When you put it that way, can't say you're wrong..."

"I'm always right like not letting me on the stage to host." Psychopath Joke said with a smirk. Looks like he's winning this stubborn cowpony over!

"Nah, I wouldn't be good at it because I'm good at cleaning up the messes. I wouldn't mind doing it if any pony asked me."

Suddenly Twilight came over with a mop and bucket as if on a cue. The mare smiles as she passes the items, speaking, "Really! Thanks, AJ. I knew I can count on you!"

Applejack groaned in annoyance as Twilight trots on off, "Other ponies but her! She purposely do that! I didn't agree to this!"

"Mr. PJ; it’s working." Harley Witch whispers to Psychopath Joke with glee.

Psychopath Joke chuckles quietly, "Of course, it works, silly girl! With her on my side, we're gonna humiliate Twilight Sparkle for what she has done to me! We just need to push one more button to make her angry and willing to get some payback on her own best friend. A pony who became Twilight's first best friend is becoming her first worst enemy."

Harley Witch cheered excitedly, "YEAH! Twilight Sparkle's going down for hurting my pudding! She's gonna pay!"

"Yes, it is! It's gonna be fun!"

Rainbow flew over to Twilight, smiling as she spoke, "Hey, egghead. You mind like letting AJ take over as the host?"

"Really? I thought you wanted the job. I was planning to give it to you." Twilight said in surprise. She is surprised that Rainbow would suggested that though she wanted to host ever since this place opened up in the first place!

"Well, I can wait. And besides, don't you think you should give Applejack a chance to do something on the show?"

"Well, when you put it that way, I actually never thought of that. After what Applejack has done for me, I should do something for her. Thanks, Rainbow Dash. I'm gonna give her the task to do a host job."

"No problem." Rainbow Dash said, pleased as she flew off to tell Applejack the good news.

Ben saw the conversation and came over, asking, "What's this all about, Dash?"

"Making sure AJ doesn't go angry and become a berserk jealous mare."

"Why?"

"Think about it. Applejack needs to know that Twilight still cares for her as her best friend. If Applejack keep behaving like an angry and jealous pony for the whole night, no way she will think Twilight as her best friend." Rainbow explains to Ben. "Besides, one jealous mare is enough."

"Like you?" Ben ask Rainbow with a smirk.

"Yeah, like me. HEY! That wasn't funny."

"It sure is, when you are one. Don't worry, we'll make sure that won't happen."

Rainbow Dash nodded as she spoke, "I hope so."

Looks like things might be turning around for Applejack after all!

Twilight calls Applejack to the backstage area, wanting to speak with her. When the Alicorn told her best friend what she wanted, well, Applejack was in for a surprise.

"Really? Me? A host?" Applejack ask Twilight surprised.

Twilight nodded as she explains, "That's right after what you have done for me, I thought I’d return you a favor."

"Gee. I don't know what to say. "

Twilight smiles as she patted Applejack on the back, speaking while giving her a cue paper to use, "Just say thank you, PFF."

"Okay, here I go." Applejack said, taking a deep breath of confidence.

"And now, Applejack!" Spike exclaims as Applejack begins trotting out onto the stage...

...but yelps as she passes the spotlight completely and fell off the stage. The audience chuckled at that little mishap. No one is aware that Psychopath Joke is holding a bucket of water that he splashed onto the stage recently.

Applejack manages to recover and got back onto the stage and into the spotlight. The mare smiles nervously as she looks for the paper that Twilight gave her. She spoke a bit nervously, "Right, howdy, folks! Our next act is...uh..." Applejack found the paper that she was looking for and begins to read it. "...an old fashioned...show business...spectacular."

At Lyra and Bon-Bon's (Sweetie Drops went back to the name that she was hiding under) table, the Earth Pony looks puzzled as she ask her best friend, "Any idea what that cowpony is even saying?"

"Not a clue." Lyra remarks with a shrug.

"And now..." Without warning, the paper flew from Applejack's hooves, making her yelp and chase it around. "Hey! What 'de hay?!"

Harley Witch snickers as she stood by a huge fan that the villainess has turned on. So far, so good!

Backstage, Ben, Twilight and Rainbow turned around for a brief second as Applejack ran out of their sight to get the paper. When they turned back to watch her, Ben looks puzzled as he ask, "Wait, where's AJ; She didn't finish her bit."

"No idea. Must've got nervous." Twilight remarks with a shrug. "Better start the song."

Back onstage, Spike smiles as he announced, "And next up on Open Mike Night...the Human Shadowbolts!"

Applejack stopped in the middle of the stage, yelping as the human versions of the Shadowbolts appear around her, holding out swords for some reason as they begin poking Applejack, making her yelp as they begin to sing.

Human Shadowbolts: (Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
Unleash the magic, unleash the magic

Some fire ends up onto Applejack, making her yelp as she was caught between the fire and the humans. This made Twilight slaps her forehead in embarrassment and shock.

If we lose, then you're to blame (ah, ah-ah-ah)
They all have used it, maybe abused it (ah-ah-ah)
So then why can't we do the same?
(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)

The Human Shadowbolts did a little dance number where they unknowingly poke Applejack with their swords. She yelled in pain while getting caught in the middle of everything.

(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh)
Unleash the magic, unleash the magic
We're not friends here after all
Our only interest in this business (ah-ah-ah)
Is seeing Canterlot High School fall
(Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh
Oh, wuh-oh-wuh, oh)

Unleash the magic, free the magic now

Once the song is over, the Human Shadowbolts did a pose to end their song...which also ended with both Applejack's hat and tail on fire. The audience applauds wildly, unaware of Psychopath Joke blowing the smoke off his hoof, smirking in triumph. This will be done to make Applejack angry, humiliated and upset.

"Is it over?" Human Twilight ask nervously as she hid under the table, making the Human Sunset smirks in amusement of how silly her friend was acting.

Pinkamena was angered, seeing what Psychopath had done. She snaps, "That no good pile of Scum! Not even him or the ugly girl whispering slips through my ears!"

"So what we planning to do?" Golden Heart ask Pinkamena, concerned for what needs to be done here.

"Well I will tell you, it will be a full group plan to teach those two a lesson."

She leans to her brother and starts whispering her plan.

Meanwhile Ben and Rainbow looks worried. The Pegasus pony spoke, "Ben, please tell me that Applejack got herself in the middle of the show and got herself some fire on her tail."

"Eeyup..." Ben said with a slow nod. This doesn't look good.

"Hoo boy... You know what that means - Applejack is in Berserk Mode now."

"That's bad?"

"Really bad now." Rainbow groans as Applejack is recovering, scowling and trying to put herself out. "And once she blamed someone, she will get payback."

"Come on, Rainbow Dash. This is Applejack we're talking about. She would never do that to Twiley." Ben said to Twilight, believing that Applejack would never get ticked off over this incident to Twilight.

Needless to say, Ben was wrong. For as Applejack came backstage, she marched up to a surprised and confused Twilight as she yelled in her face, "You did that on purpose!"

"Did what? What are you-?! Wait!" Twilight yelps as Applejack pushes her in fury. "You're not actually think I would set you up for this."

"I don't think! I know! I knew I should never have agree to this!"

"Applejack, please, you know that I would never-!"

Applejack however begins storming off as she snaps, "I ain't gonna listen to another liar like you. So, if you don't mind, I've got some job to do! I'm done in listening to you or even get you to make fun of me!"

Phobos notices Applejack's tail still on fire, pointing out, "AJ, your tail's still on fire."

"Phobos!" Spike and Nyx scolds Phobos; that will only make Applejack more upset.

"You'd think I care?! I like it! Now buck off, you vermin!" Applejack snaps furiously at Phobos as she storms off.

The gang looks at each other in worry as Spike spoke, "Wow... I'd never seen her angry since Flim-Flam cheats on everypony about Tonic Cure Drinks."

"I hope she's okay." Nyx said in worry and concern for her honorary aunt.

Once the stage is clean up, Twilight came back on stage a few moments later. She announcer, "All right, everyone! Time for another story! So what type do you wanna see?

"A TWILIGHT SPARKLE STORY!" Everyone shouted out eagerly.

"Well, you ask for it and I will give. Of course, it will be a cartoon starring Ben Mare, but I'm in it!"

"Ha!" Applejack scowls, sitting on a bucket of ice she is using to cool the fire down.

"Tell me about it." Psychopath remarks with a frown. Applejack is sitting next to his and Harley Witch's table.

The audience applauds wildly as the next cartoon of the night begins to play.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

Ben Mare to the Rescue Finale- Train Tracks

Twilight screams as that evil unicorn jerk Boris has kidnapped her, using a collar to keep her from using magic. From the top of a window of the villain's HQ, the mare calls out, "Benny, help!"

Boris grabs Twilight from behind, gagging her while laughing, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Scream all you want, Twillight. That Earth Pony filth Ben Mare will never rescue you this time! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha-" The villains tops as he sat a sign on his own HQ that said 'THE HIDEOUT OF BORIS THE ANIMAL'. "Oh, and I gotta take down that 'The Animal' sign. Why did they even put it on my house in the first place?"

Boris drags Twilight into his HQ. Sure enough, Ben Mare arrives, frowning at the building while saying, "Hang on, Twiley! I'll save you!"

Ben rushes towards the hideout. After kicking the door down, he saw Twilight tied to the train tracks.

"Ben, hurry!" Twilight exclaims in alarm.

"Right, this one should be easy!" Ben exclaims in determination as he gallops over. The stallion looks at the knot, trying to untie it. "Now, how do I..."

Twilight looks shocked as her love got his hooves tied in the rope. And as if that isn't bad enough, they can hear the train coming via the sound being made. Ben got to hurry!

"I remember it was like this." Ben said as he pushes the ropes down. The hero manages to lift Twilight out of the rope, freeing her. "Well, that's an easy rescue. Boris the Animal got to be slipping!"

The train is heard once more. Twilight gasps, "Come on, Ben!" She grabs Ben by the hoof as the two tries to gallop off...however, Ben yelps as one of his legs got tied up in the progress, much to the mare's annoyance. "Seriously?"

"Oops. Not sure how that happened." Ben said embarrassed. The lovers yelped as they hear the train coming closer. "Come on, hurry! Help me out of this knot!"

Ben and Twilight in a panic worked their best to get the rope untied, only for them to be tied up in various ways. At one point, they are were tied up with two ends of the rope attached to each other like a heart.

"Well, I guess we finally tied the knot." Ben jokes, making Twilight frowns a bit.

"Hardy har har." Twilight remarks dryly.

Twilight and Ben yelps as they saw the light of the train coming their way. Boris is driving the train laughing in glee. If he can't have Twilight, then no one can! The lovers tries to move in different directions, but failed because of them still tied together. It's over...

That is until Ben spots a train switched nearby. He motions Twilight to follows his lead, making her jump. The two jumped towards the switch as Ben tries to reach for it. Boris meanwhile smirks wickedly as he is getting closer...he is almost there...

But then Ben reached the train switch in time and pulled it, causing the track to be switched. The train barely missed the two, thank Celestia!

"What, seriously?! Why the hay did I even put in a second pair of tracks?!" Boris yells out in annoyance. "Ugh, forget this. May as well get back to Trixie."

As the train passed, Twilight and Ben sighed in relief. The mare spoke, "Well, glad we made it out in one piece."

"Hey, as Trixie would say, was there any doubt?" Ben ask with a smile.

The two stepped out of the tracks...just as the train zoomed behind them somehow, untangling Twilight and Ben from the ropes, making them sigh in relief. They are freed from being tied up, causing Ben to sigh in relief.

Twilight, smiling, kisses Ben on the lips while saying, "Oh, Ben. Thanks for rescuing me."

Ben blushes as he and Twilight begins to leave.

"You lose again, Boris the Animal!" Ben calls out to Boris as he and Twilight take their leave.

Both the Cartoon Boris and House of Pony Boris (from the audience) yells out, "It's just Boris!"

And thus, Ben saved his beloved filly, defeated Boris once more. All is well...well, until next time anyway...

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is over, everyone applauded once more for a cartoon once more.

"Wow, did you see Twilight in that story? She may be a hostage but she is one dedicated princess!" Sonic exclaims to his girlfriend Sally Acorn who laughs a bit.

"I wish Twilight can visit me in my universe sometime." Gingka Hagane from Beyblade spoke up while Kai Hiwatari was drinking his drink.

Applejack has had enough. She has her saddlebags packed while groaning, "Twilight this! Twilight that! Don't ponies loved something more than her?! She's nothing special!"

Psychopath Joke, listening, smirks as she spoke, "I couldn't agree more. What's so special about her? So, what if she gets the Alicorn Magic? It doesn't make her special or great! She's just a piece of crap."

Harley nodded as she remarks, "Yeah! She acted like she's so special and better than anypony else! Can you believe what Twilight did?! She humiliated you in front of everyone on stage! She made fun of you! How rude! How selfish! How cruel! What a liar she really is!"

Applejack groaned, "Don't remind me! Everything I've done for her is for nothing. She done nothing for me either! I sure wish Twilight get the same punishment from what she did to me! She deserve it! Some friend she turned out to be."

"Don't worry, AJ. We're on the same page. Join with me, we'll make sure that princess gets the taste of her own medicine! Harley, now!" Psychopath Joke remarks with a cruel chuckle.

"Hey, princess! You'd think you're funny? How about you compete with my pudding? He's ten times funnier than you are. Do you know why? Because you're too stupid to make one joke!" Harley Witch calls out to Twilight, getting her attention and making the audience 'oooooh' at that. That sounds like a big challenge!

"Thank you, Harley. What do you say, princess? Got 'gutsy' to make Discord's Lame Jokes? Orange gale to see you being make fun of by me?"

"Hey! Get your own jokes!" Discord exclaims to Psychopath Joke in annoyance.

Twilight groaned out, time to shut this jerk up, "If you think you're funny, than come and prove it. I would like you to say that in front of my face! And believe me, make me laugh, clown!"

"Oh, I will." Psychopath Joke said with a cruel chuckle.

"She fell for it! Payback time!" Harley Witch exclaims to Psychopath Joke with a cruel nod.

"I can't wait to see it." Applejack said with a smirk as she put her bags aside. At least, her so-called friend will get what's coming to her.

It was a few moments later as Twilight coughs a bit. Psychopath Joke is in the center stage, smiling eagerly. The mare spoke to the audience, "Fillies and gentlecolts! Time we hear it for the wit...or in this case HALF-wit of Psychopath Joke!"

The audience applauds, but only because they have no choice as Psychopath takes the microphone to speak into it, Good evening, ladies and morons. Thank you for inviting me to the show. And so we begin, let's start with this - What's with Twilight Sparkle's voice? When she whined, she sounded like Bubbles. When she's angry, she sounded like Raven from Teen Titans. When she's scared, she sounded like whiny Tommy Turner. When she laughed, she's crazy as Harley Quinn. When she freaked out, she sounded like a scaredy Ben 10. Or maybe when she's spoiled, she sounded like that brat Sari Sumdac! And what happens if she lose her voice, she's voiceless!" The Dark Mystic Pony laughed insanely. "And best of all, was she raised by her worrying parents and brother? Coz I can see how resembling they can be when they're in panic mode!"

Needless to say, the audience didn't like that at all. They booed angrily with the Tara Strong characters, booing as well. Twilight frowns a bit while her friends, most of them, scowls and boos angrily. Applejack on the other hoof laughs a bit, that will show her!

Harley cheered as she sat at her table with Applejack, "Go, Mr. PJ. Woohoo!"

Psychopath Joke continues his routine, "There's more. You know what I'm gonna call her? Mrs. Mary Sue while Ben is Gary Sue! Do you know why? They're both related stupid like how could Ben make great friends while Twilight make the worse enemies! Why? She's terrible at it! And that's why she's a Mary Sue!"

The audience boos some more. Luke Skywalker, Woodrow Burns, Firelord Ozai and Joker (Batman version) weren't amuse by the jokes especially Mark Hamill himself.

"That is so wrong. Funny but wrong!" The Joker scowls in annoyance. He may be a bad joke, but even the clown finds that insult to be low.

Mark Hamill nodded in agreement as he remarks, "When I voiced an iconic character, I'd never joke like that so embarrassing and humiliating to my fans or others about how great she is"

Applejack laughed, "Aw, come on. It's funny."

Most of the others overheard that and are upset. Apple Bloom exclaims in shock, "I don't believe it! How could she?!"

"What has gotten into her?!" Caramel ask, stunned that his filly would talk like that. "She'd never agreed with this joke about Twilight Sparkle."

"Yes, even I wouldn't go that far." Pinkie said, stunned and disbelieved.

"My word, she got to be at least a bit offended." Rarity said in concern.

"Eeyup!" Big Macintosh exclaims, nodding in agreement.

"Oh dear." Fluttershy said as she watches Applejack laughs more at the insults towards Twilight. "She's turning into a jealous upset mare."

"Yeah!" The rest of the CMC exclaims in concern. If this keeps up, Applejack may not be liked around here anymore!

"We've gotta snap her out of it." Ben said seriously as he and the others galloped over to Applejack's table.

"Yeah. We'd better." Rainbow said in agreement. Even when the Pegasus like to tease folks, she got limits!

"Applejack, what do you think you're doing?" Rara ask her friend, stunned by her reaction.

Applejack smirked as she explains, "Just enjoying the fun."

"Humiliating Twilight? This isn't like you!" Caramel protests to his fillyfriend while shaking his head in disbeliewf.

Apple Bloom nodded in agreement. She said, "Yeah. You'd never talk bad about Twilight or the things she shouldn't have done. Okay, maybe a few things she did wrong that offend you but still you would never let anyone insult her like she's your sister."

"Right, I mean, how would you like it if Psychopath Joke makes fun of you?" Sweetie ask Applejack with a deep frown.

"It wouldn't be right, that's for sure!" Scootaloo exclaims in agreement. If Psychopath Joke was making mean jokes about Applejack, she wouldn't be laughing!

"Yeah. Right." Applejack remarks, rolling her eyes at this. No way Psychopath Joke would direct his jokes at her!

"Applejack, what has gotten into you?" Rara ask Applejack in a stunned matter.

Suddenly Psychopath Joke smirks as he laughs, "Oh, speaking of Twilight! She ain't that great of a mare! The only reason that Alicorn brat let Applejerk host was so that she could get roasted! Ha ha ha! Roasted Applejack! Get it?!"

Applejack was laughing...until the cowpony realize to her shock that Psychopath Joke was insulting her now! What the hay?!

"What the hay?! What's going on?!" Applejack ask in alarm and confusion. "How dare he turned on me?! I thought we're supposed to take her down together!"

"We are. We're just telling the truth of how bad she can really be-!" Harley laughs a bit, making Applejack more shocked and this time uneasy.

"Shut the buck up, Harley!" Rainbow snaps angrily at Harley. She turns to Applejack to speak, "Still think Twilight would make fun of you? Applejack, we've known her for whole seasons till 6. There is no way she will never make fun of you. She even admitted her mistakes and apologize to you."

"She really meant it when she gave the hosting for you to do." Ben said with a nod, assuring Applejack that Twilight meant what she said about giving her the hosting job.

"In fact, Twilight never do such a thing to you." Rarity said to Applejack gently.

"She didn't?" Applejack ask in surprise. She then begins feeling a bit guilty now.

Apple Bloom hugged Applejack as she explains, "Of course, sis. What kind of friend who would do something stupid to her best friend and the second member of the Mane Six?"

"Yeah. A friend who always stay loyal to you?" Nyx ask in agreement.

"Unlike these meanies, they just joke for their fun not for ponies' fun." Pinkie remarks, frowning in disappointment by how Psychopath Joke and Harley Quinn was insulting Twilight like that.

"It's true." Fluttershy said in agreement.

"Don't listen to them. They're the real liars!" Harley protests in alarm. If Applejack listened, this whole thing will be over.

Fluttershy kicked Harley's face, much to everyone else's surprise. She snaps, "Shut up, witch; She's annoying.”

"In fact, the Bushwoolies told us that these clowns are the ones who set you up! They want you to humiliate her. They want you to regret it!" Spike explains to Applejack. The cowpony looks stunned and embarrassed. Those creeps were the ones who mess her up before!

"I-I didn't know." Applejack spoke a bit meekly. Perhaps she was wrong to judge Twilight harshly.

"And now, you do. Now ask you this. Are you going to let some clown to insult your best friend?" Rara ask Applejack in determination. Hearing that made the cowpony thoughtful...and upset.

"The hay I would let somepony get away with it. There's no way I'm gonna let a clown to do bad things on her!"

"Then, get out there and teach her!"

Psychopath Joke kept up the routine, unaware of what's about to happen, "Here's the best part! Who hurts the most? Her friends! Twilight gets the power while her friends don't? That's so selfish and inconsiderate!"

"I would never do that!" Twilight protests angrily to Psychopath Path.

"Oh yeah? What happen to roasted Applejack? Did you get that for breakfast? Ooh... I didn't know you're a cannibal."

"Why you?! How dare you!"

"How dare you?!" Psychopath Joke snaps before Twilight could try to charge in and hurt him for that. "Of all the friends, you humiliated and embarrassed Applejack for the entirely of your life! Haven't you hurt her enough?"

"What?" Twilight ask in alarm and worry. What is this guy even saying?

"You heard me! Haven't you hurt her enough?"

"But I-!"

Psychopath Joke interrupted Twilight, "I don't want to hear it because in the end, no one is gonna save you because of what you did to Applejack!"

"Hey! Leave Twilight Sparkle alone, you crazy stupid joker!" Applejack exclaims angrily as she storms the stage. "No offense, Joker."

"None taken. Kick that mother-!" The Joker said about to make a bad name causing Mark Hamill and his iconic characters to shushed at him. "Everyone's a critic. Fine. Just kick his butt for ruining me!"

"Well... If it isn't the Joker Jack, wanna do comedy with me?" Psychopath Joke ask Applejack with a smile.

"No, I'm here to kick you out!" Applejack snaps furiously to the Dark Mystic Pony.

"Ooh... What did I do wrong? Make fun of Twilight Sparkle? She's the one who hurt you a lot. I was just doing you a favor, Jackie."

"No, you weren't! I know what's going on. I'm gonna set it right! You can't talk to Twilight Sparkle like that. Cause she's my best friend and sister!"

Psychopath Joke just laughs like a fool hearing a very bad joke, "Ooh! I'm so scared! What you gonna do? Bucking the apples for me? Get honesty out of me? Make me some Apple Cider for me? As if! Don't you know who I am? I'm the crazy psychopath!"

Applejack groaned but stopped while humming, "But you love jokes. Knock! Knock!"

"Ooh! My favorite joke. Who's there?"

"Kick your flank."

"Ha! Nice try. Like I'm gonna fall for-!" Psychopath Joke laughs as he knows where this joke is heading.

But the villain has no idea where it was coming as Apple Bloom kicks Psychopath Path in the back hard, "Heeyah!"

"Why you little son of-!" Psychopath Joke was about to hurt Apple Bloom but Applejack heads butt him hard. "YEOCH!"

Applejack kicked Psychopath Joke's flank out of the dining room while scowling, "That's for me. This is for Twilight Sparkle and Apple Bloom, you crazy moron!"

Harley Witch, knowing the glares from the rest of Applejack's friends, runs of the room to check on Psychopath Joke. As the two prepare to leave, but they slip on a banana peel that leads to hundreds of ticks and traps made by Pinkamena and her group.

Pinkamena's group was laughing as she taunts, "Awww, did that hurt?"

"Now that's a joke!" Autumn Gem laughs as Sombra smirks.

Inside the dining room, everyone applauds and cheers, impressed with how Applejack was able to stand up for Twilight like that. About time someone shut that jerk up!

Applejack took a bow, walking over to Twilight who was watching from backstage. Twilight laughs Applejack, "Applejack, thank you very much. And sorry about the mess. I didn't know you were still-!"

Applejack holds up a hoof to interrupt Twilight as she spoke, "I'm the one who should apologize. I shouldn't have let my jealousy get away because you were honest and good as me. I'm sorry."

"You? Jealous? Throughout the six seasons, I'd never seen you jealous of me or anyone else before. That's something..."

"Like I said from Episode 22 - What about Discord from Season 5, everyone allowed to feel it, even me."

"I'm glad to hear that. How about I make something up? Just for you. And you're gonna love it." Twilight said to Applejack with a smirk,

A bit later, the gang was talking about what happened. They are happy that Applejack has gotten over her jealousy and made up with Twilight.

"Both Applejack and Twilight are getting along well." Ben said with a smile.

"Yup, they did. I'm glad my sister doesn't go berserk again." Apple Bloom chuckles in agreement.

"Yeah! Hopefully the next time, Psychopath Joke will sit in his seat and shut up!" Scootaloo remarks, making Sweetie giggle in agreement.

"If there is a next time." Phobos remarks with a smirk.

"Thanks, Rainbow Dash. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would happen." Ben said, thanking Rainbow for her help.

"Yeah, gets a lot of embarrassments and regrets." Rainbow chuckles, rubbing a hoof through her mane. "I learned that from season 1. Just making sure nopony is jealous of Twilight Sparkle."

"Like you?" Scootaloo ask her mentor with a smirk.

"Like me. HEY! Why do you guys keep doing that?!"

"Oh darling." Rarity giggles as she poke Rainbow Dash's muzzle. "Because you always get jealous of Twilight Sparkle."

Everyone laughed and even Rainbow Dash who admits, "Yeah. That is really funny."

Back onstage, Twilight smiles as she spoke, "Ponies, I'd like to dedicate this next cartoon to my good friend Applejack! After what she did today, I think the last cartoon of the night should starred her!"

Everypony applauds as the final cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

AN APPLEJACK CARTOON

Applejack's Failed Fourth

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. Applejack and Caramel arrives to the park for a little picnic...and for the Fourth of July Festivities.

"Well, boy howdy! Time for 'de Fourth of July festivities." Applejack said with a smile. "And we done got here first!"

"Yeah, especially when there's going to be a big fireworks show." Caramel remarks with a chuckle. "AJ, I'm going to find the others and do some things for a while. Why don't you find a spot where we can watch the fireworks and set up the picnic? Once I'm done, I'll be right back!"

"No problem! I will git it done before one can say "Apple Cider"!"

"Make sure you find a good spot. You know, a place where we can find the perfect view of the night sky."

"Eeyup!" Applejack exclaims, smiling as Caramel left. "You can count on this honest pony!"

Applejack begins humming "Yankee Doodle" as she looks around. Where will the right spot be at? The mare smiles as she found it. Perfect! Applejack took out a photo of Caramel and kissed.

"Hoo doggy, Caramel will done like it!" Applejack remarks with a smile. "Time to set up the blanket!"

Applejack picks up the blanket and unfurled it. But when she turns around, the mare hears the wind blowing the blanket, causing it to fold back to its current position, making her turn back.

"How the hay?" Applejack ask a bit confused. She picks up the blanket and waves it up so it will be flat on the ground. "All right, where were we?"

Without warning, the wind blew the blanket back to its folded position. Applejack frowns as she licks her hoof and held it up. Darn Pegasus ponies!

Applejack turns, growling as she screams. The mare rushes over to the blanket to jump onto it, trying to hold the thing down. As if for no reason, the blanket itself somehow came to life, twisted a corner of itself and whipped Applejack in the flank.

"UGH!" Applejack yells out as she jumps up, causing the wind to fold the blanket back up just as she fell on it.

Applejack snorts in fury...then screams as she tries to fold the blanket downward, only to end up trapped in the blanket in various ways, including getting tied up, having her body being pointed in ways, and ended up finding a way to clone herself like Pinkie to a Mirror Pool.

Soon it came to the point where Applejack messed around with the blanket so much that it went flying into the air. The cowpony breaths in just as the blanket fell right onto her head.

Applejack, frowning, puts the blanket down. She remarks, "Okay. So this is what it feels like dealing with stubborn objects? Rainbow Dash must have a hard time to do it...."

Applejack rushes off, coming back to iron the blanket, then uses a staple gun to staple the blanket down. The mare drove a Zamboni onto the blanket to keep it down. Now the cowpony came back with various items like a big chunk of ice, an anchor, the kitchen sink and an according, putting them onto each corner of the blanket. Now Applejack pushed a huge rock. Hopefully this will keep that blanket down!

"There, it's flattened enough! Teach you to mess with this pony!" Applejack exclaims, smirking in triumph as she turns around. Looks like the Element of Honesty has won.

That is until, without explanation, the wind somehow blew all the objects that Applejack put onto the blanket right off, causing them to hit the mare onto the head, especially the kitchen sink that got stuck on Applejack...and the rock which squashed her flat.

Applejack got out from under the rock, growling. She storms over to the folded blanket and jumped up and down, attacking the folded blanket a bit. She gave a glare at it before the blanket unfolded itself, becoming flat.

"Much better..." Applkejack said with a smirk as she turns around...only for the blanket itself to whipped her once more, causing Applejack to turn and growled at the blanket. "Oh! You gotta have the last word, did you?!"

Applejack took this moment to calm down just as Caramel came back. He spoke, "Hey Aj! Just came back to check up on you. Everything's okay?"

"Sure, right...everything's under control here...granted I done ran into a bit of trouble but I took care of it. Eeyup!"

"Oh, so is this view the perfect one?"

"Eeyup, as perfect as it can be!" Applejack exclaims with a smile to her colt.

"Great! Well, I will leave you to set everything up. See you later!" Caramel exclaims, smiling as he took his leave so that Applejack can get back to setting things up.

Applejack waves goodbye. Now for the chairs! She took one out and begins to unfold it. Now for the other...

Of course, the chair folded itself, making Applejack's eye twitched. Not again!

"Darn stupid chair!" Applejack growls as she picks up the chair and tries to open it back up. But of course, the mare ended up getting trapped in the chair numerous times. But soon she got it right. "Okay! Now for the other chair!"

Of course, as Applejack goes over to the other chair and unfolds it, the first one fold right back, much to her annoyance. She snaps, "What the hay?!"

Applejack goes back to the first chair to unfold it, only for the second one to fold back up. She groans as the mare gallops back and forth to the unfolding and folding chairs...until they combined to make a galloping horse, Applejack yelps as she rides the thing all over the park.

Applejack kept on this crazy chair horses ride around the park, hitting her head on a few trees. She even won a horse race with them at one point. Okay, it's confusing how she got there from the park; bear with it! Eventually, Applejack and the chairs came back before returning to normal, knocking the cowpony right off.

"Aww, horse feathers." Applejack groans out in annoyance. This isn't her day!

A few moments later, Applejack arrives with the picnic basket and opens it up, pulling out a few plates. She spoke, "All right, time to put these plates all over the picnic area."

Applejack took the plates...but snuck over carefully as she put the chairs right onto the chairs. The mare flinched, every time, something off and stubborn happens. Of course, when it didn't, Applejack smiles, going back to poured glasses of pink lemonade. Nothing wrong with pink lemonade.

Applejack came back, carefully sneaking over to the blanket to put the glasses right next to the chairs. The mare jumps back and flinch, preparing for the worse. Of course, nothing happens again. Looks like the worst is finally over.

Quickly, Applejack went over to set the picnic up. She smiles while speaking while turning around, "Now that's done perfect! Nothing can go wrong..."

However, without warning, the wind blew the open picnic basket door down, making a loud slam. Applejack in worry turns back in time to see the chairs closing and the blanket folding back, knocking all the foods and items back, sending them flying. One of the items hit Applejack in the face, causing her to fell right into the deep picnic basket.

As if impossible except in Pinkie sense, there seems to be stairs in there as we can hear Applejack falling down them. Hoofsteps are heard, as well as a few opening doors and a screaming filly (don't ask) before Applejack came out, growling in fury. She has had enough of this!

"GOSH DARN IT!!!!" Applejack yells out furiously to the high heaven. "ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE A ROMANTIC MOMENT WITH MY COLT FRIEND! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?! LEAVE ME ALONE, FOR THE LOVE OF CELESTIA!!!!!"

As if the universe can hear him, everything was set back to the way it was and before it was ruined, the torches lit up with night falling upon the area. Applejack stares, smiling in amazement.

All she had to do was ask.

A few moments later, Caramel came back, looking at the picnic area. He spoke, "Wow, I'm amazed, AJ! That's a very romantic place to watch the fireworks! You must've gone through a lot of trouble!"

"Well, a bit of not too much." Applejack chuckles as the two ponies goes over to the chairs, sitting down. "But other than that, none at all."

The lovers prepares to hold hoof...but then heard the whistling of fireworks. Applejack and Caramel blinks as they look around, where are the fireworks? The two turns around and realizes that the show is being held behind them!

"Hoo boy, AJ. I think you had us facing the wrong way." Caramel said, making Applejack sighs before looking down.

"Awww, horse apples. I done messed up. Sorry." Applejack said with a sigh. Caramel however hold her chin up, smiling.

"Aww, you didn't mess up at all!"

"Wait, I didn't?"

"Actually, I like the view from here." Caramel said as he points to the sky. "It's a nice full moon that Princess Luna put out tonight."

Applejack can only pause to think, smiling as she and Caramel held hooves. Despite the mare almost losing it a couple of times, it was a pretty good night after all.

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is done, everyone applauds. Another cartoon done and complete!

Applejack finds herself being more appreciated than ever. Over at the tables, the cowpony was being mobbed by Brian and Dexter, the former hugs her while saying, "Wow! You were awesome in that story, AJ! Having a date with Caramel and watching the fireworks with him. Pretty cool."

Dexter hugs Applejack while saying, "Uh, can you tell us your secret...that is if you don't mind."

Applejack was about to respond but Ben grabbed him as he spoke, "Hey, need some advice here, AJ."

"Applejack, I need your help!" Pinkie exclaims as she grabs Applejack and starts to drag her off. "I got an emergency in the kitchen!"

Applejack was almost grabbed further until Rarity, Rainbow and Caramel pulls her near the entrance to the kitchen. The unicorn smiles as she spoke, "See, AJ? We told you that you were imagining things."

"Yeah! Everypony loves Twilight, that's true, but folks love you too!" Rainbow remarks with a smile.

"So do I," Caramel said as he kisses Applejack on the lips, making her blush a bit.

"Shucks, thanks...listen, Twilight and I got one more stuff to make up for the mess." Applejack said with a smile as she gallops off. Looks like there is one more performance.

"And now, ponies, AJ and I got one little song left to sing." Twilight said, smiling as her friend joins her on stage. A familiar song begins to play as they sing.

Both: I'm here to show you who I am
Throw off the veil, it's finally time
There's more to me than glitz and glam, oh-whoa
And now I feel my stars align

For I had believed what I was sold
I did all the things that I was told
But all that has changed, and now I'm bold
'Cause I know

That I am just a pony
I make mistakes from time to time
But now I know the real me
And put my heart out on the line

And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Just like the magic inside of you

And now I see those colors
Right before my eyes
I hear my voice so clearly
And I know that it is right

They thought I was weak, but I am strong
They sold me the world, but they were wrong
And now that I'm back, I still belong
'Cause I know

That I am just a pony
I make mistakes from time to time
But now I know the real me
And put my heart out on the line

And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
And let the magic in my heart stay true
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Just like the magic inside of you

Just like the magic inside of you...

Once the song is over, the audience applauds as the two both hugged and nuzzled each other like sisters.

Spike smiles as he announced, "Today's show was brought to you by..."

"...Applejack! Farmer since she was a filly, and Mane Six member since Season One!"

We see a still of Applejack smiling proudly.

"This mare got experience in roles just as...romantic leading pony..."

We see a poster of Applejack in her role as Smart Cookie in the Hearth's Warming Eve play.

"...Equestrian humor..."

We see a poster of Applejack in a kimino as if parodying the Disney movie Mulan.

"And action hero!"

We see the Mane Six in Power Ponies outfit, going after the evil Mane-iac, before still ends with us going back to the smiling Applejack.

"Applejack, the honest cowpony for the whole family!" The still goes back to the Smart Cookie poster as Spike spoke in a low voice, "Caution: Actor prone to being stubborn, competitive nature and may end up bucking people with her feet."

The folks applauded as Twilight spoke to the audience, "Yeah, before we go, one question: what's the deal with Psychopath Joke."

"Hey, get your own stuff!" Psychopath Joke, his snout all bandaged up, snaps as he marches up to Twilight in annoyance by her “stealing” his material. "Ugh! I'm out of here!"

Psychopath Joke prepares to leave angrily ...but fell right into a plot hole left in the floor by Pinkamena who giggles like mad.

Applejack commented as she joins her friend on stage, "Somepony can't even take a joke. What a poor Joker. No offense, Joker."

"None taken." Joker remarks with a mad laugh.

The two ponies waved to the audience onstage as both of them say at the same time, "See you next time!"

The My Little Heroines heroes are from a fanmake series I am working on lately.

The volleyball game has gags similar to what Hercules hitting the ball on Hades's head before it was shot back at him in his cartoon and when the PPG attacked Fuzzy from his bath time in one of their own episodes.

The Human versions of the Shadowbolts are from "Equestria Girls: Friendship Games". Only bits of their song is used here.

Gingka Hagane and Kai Hiwatari are from Beyblade.

The song "The Magic Inside" was added in by suggestion.

House of Pony: Season 2

Episode Twenty-One: Shining's Embarrasing Date

Soon, things has calm down, especially since Applejack's jealous nature has finally been put to rest, now that she knows that she herself was truly liked here at the House of Pony. The cowpony manages to get back to her usual job at the booth, deciding that it's must safer and out of the way of the usual madness.

A few months has passed, everything seems to be pretty normal...up to the takeover by the bad guys that attended the House of House and turned it into the House of Chaos. It only lasted an hour, but Twilight and her friends were able to retake the club, defeating the villains. Smaug, the leader of the whole thing was punished, forcing him to never try that stunt again.

A week later, the day turns into a date home especially for one big brother of the Princess of Friendship...

Spike smiles as he announces, "And now, she is not your usual princess Alicorn next door...Twilight Sparkle!"

The audience applauds as Twilight came onto the stage with a smile as she spoke, "Hey, ponies! Welcome to the show! And wow, looks like it's turning into a big night for love here." The pony giggles as she looks around at the audience. "We have a few first dates in the audience, like Nightmare Moon and Smaug."

At one table, there's Smaug sitting with his date Nightmare Moon and his associate Rainbow Chaos. The leader of the Apocalypse Ponies spoke, "I have a business proposition for you, Luna."

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Nightmare Moon roars as she zaps Smaug and Rainbow Chaos.

Rainbow Chaos sarcastically remarks to her boss, "REAL smooth, Mister business. In case you've forgotten, Nightmare Moon and Luna are two separate beings in this continuity."

"And Trixie and the Devil Pony." Twilight chuckles as she motions to Trixie playfully rubbing the Devil Pony's chin.

Devil Pony, blushing, though it's hard to tell considering how red his coat already is, spoke, "Look, Trix, I'm flattered, but shouldn't we wait until we're alone?"

"Hey, Trixie needed some time out especially to punish Boris for going after Twilight...again." Trixie said, flatly saying the last part.

Speaking of dates, a certain prince of the Crystal Empire AKA big brother of Twilight Sparkle AKA parking valet, Shining Armor, was looking at his reflection in a post. He grins while saying, "All right; all good. Just focus on your magic, Shining. Take a deep breath and let it all out..."

Shining hold an upper foreleg and took a breath, like how his sister has been taught by his wife. Just then, he saw a portal opening as a certain Mystic Family come out. Mystic Tao, noticing, spoke up, "Ah, Prince Shining. You look nice tonight."

"Thanks, Tao." Shining said with a light chuckle.

"And from your determined look, you must have a big date tonight, yes?"

"Sure do! I'm planning on a big date with my wife Cadance tonight."

"Oh, first date with Cadance in a while?" Jade Adventure ask with a light giggle.

"Yes, and I'm a bit freaking." Shining said in concern while looking around nervously. "Don't tell anyone but Cadance wants to have it here, at my sister's club."

"So why is that a problem?" Mighty Heart ask, arching an eyebrow.

"I am worried what a certain pink pony would do if she finds out about this! You know how Pinkie is!"

"Oh, well, I see." Dragon Kick said, nodding in understanding. "Well, we won't say a word, especially…"

"Hey Shiny!" A familiar voice exclaims, making Shining yelps nervously. There's Pinkie running out with Jade in tow. "Jade told me you got a date with your wife tonight! Hoo boy! That's great! No worries, I will make everything right for you!"

Shining's eyes widened in shock as Tao growls, "JADE ADVENTURE!!!"

"Sorry, I ran in right before he could finish." Jade said with a shrug. "You know I got a big mouth."

"Oh man! This is going to be insane!" Shining groans a bit as he explained everything to Twilight, Ben, Nyx, Rainbow and Rarity in the backstage later. "After that, I freaked out while Tao gave Jade a big scolding and then I came inside to explained everything. Knowing Pinkie, she's going to put us at the best table, with candlelight, chocolates, flowers music...it's going to be a disaster!"

"So what's wrong with that, Uncle Shiny?" Nyx ask her uncle puzzled. "It would sound great."

"Look, all I need are two things: a good foalsitter for Flurry Heart, and some privacy with Cadance. This is our first date since Flurry Heart was born and I want it to go well. And we ALL know Pinkie is going to make MUCH too big a deal out of this."

Ben pauses to think and smiles as he got an idea, "Hey, I got an idea, everyone! Why don't we work together, make sure everything turns out right?"

"Right, darling! We will make sure Pinkie will stay out of your mane tonight." Rarity said with a smile. "And while we do so, we will keep an eye on little Flurry Heart."

"You all would do that?" Shining ask the others hopefully.

"Sure do!" Rainbow exclaims with a smirk on her face.

"Oh yeah! Thanks, I owe you all big! Just make sure my date with Cadance will be normal, get a foalsitter for Flurry Heart and everything will be fine!"

"No worries, BBBFF. Everything will be fine!" Twilight insists to her big brother with a giggle, making Shining smile. Knowing his sister, everything will turn out fine with this arrangement!

Outside later, Shining was looking at his reflection in a mirror, still practicing for when his wife gets here. Hopefully things will go well tonight.

"Hey, Caddy, how are ya? Oh, I'm doing fine and I'm sure this is going to be the best date of our lives." Shining said in confidence.

"Hey Shiny!" A familiar voice spoke up, causing Shining to yelp in alarm. He turns to see his wife, Princess Cadance, trotting behind him right now. The unicorn chuckles awkwardly as he waves to her.

"Oh, Cadance! Hey...so how is everything?"

"Doing good. I have been waiting a while for this, sweetie. So shall we go in?"

"Yeah, we shall." Shining said, smiling as he takes his love by the hoof. Yeah, nothing shall go wrong, right?

Shining led Cadance over to a table which is marked "RESERVED". His sister made sure to get the Crystal Empire couple the best seat in the house.

"Here you go, my lady." Shining spoke like a royal knight as he offered a seat to Cadance who sat down in a seat that he offered to her.

"Thanks." Cadance said with a smile as he sat next to her. "I take it you got this for us?"

"Sure did! My sister and I made an agreement on having you over as my date as long as no pony interrupt us."

"Shining Armor, did we forget something?"

Shining Armor gasped in alarm, "The baby! Flurry Heart! Where is she?!" He almost forgotten about his own daughter!

"Right here." Twilight said, giggling as she trots over with Flurry Heart on her back. "And don't worry, we'll take care of her while you two enjoy the date. We've all dealt with babies before. This one is no different."

"Thanks, Twi-?!" Shining screamed and for a good reason. Flurry Heart has suddenly disappeared. "Where is she?!"

"I just have her here moments ago!"

"Flurry!" Nyx is heard calling. The family turns to see Nyx and Spike chasing Flurry Heart who is giggling while flying around, shooting out magic at random. "Get back here! No, don't touch that button! Don't play with Dragoking! Stop!"

"Come on, Flurry Heart. Give us some break!" Spike exclaims frantically.

"On second thought, this could take a while..." Twilight said sheepishly as she trots off to join in the chase.

Shining sighs then smiles while gazing into Cadance's eyes. Hopefully not, nothing can go wrong.

Suddenly Phobos came down from the stage, smiling as he spoke, "Hey folks! Here it is, a romantic cartoon for tonight's most romantic couple!"

Suddenly the spotlight shines onto Shining and Cadance, making them look around in confusion. The princess smile though Shining was confused. He shrugs it off somehow while giving a smile.

"Err, must be...a special contest kinda thing." Shining said awkwardly to Cadance.

Of course, it was just the beginning for the couple. Everyone applauds as the first cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A EQUESTRIA GIRLS STORY

Spike's Penthouse Sweet

Twilight was smiling as she play a game of fetch with Spike in front of her house. The girl laughs, "Come on, fetch the stitch, Spike!'

"Got it, Twilight!" Spike laughs as Twilight threw the stick. The dog quickly rushes down and jumps up to get the stich. He smiles while walking over to Twilight.

"Good boy, Spike! Looks like that magic interaction in the Friendship Games was certainly helping us communicate better!" Twilight giggles eagerly. Spike nods as he gave the stick back. "Okay, fetch!"

Twilight threw the stick far away, making Spike chase it. Suddenly the girl saw her boyfriend Ben Mare coming over, saying, "Hey, Twiley! Flash, Sunset and I are going to the movies. Wanna come with us for a double date?"

"Sure! Just give me a min!"

It was at that time that Spike came back with the stick, stopping to see Twilight taking Ben's hand. He yelps, "Twilight?"

"Bye, Spike! I'm going on a date with Ben! See you later this afternoon!" Twilight giggles as she and Ben took their leave, leaving Spike all bug-eyed and worried. She's leaving? The girl looks back in concern. "Huh. I feel bad for leaving Spike all alone back there."

"Relax, Twilight, he'll be waiting for you when he gets back." Ben said to his girlfriend in assuration. "I betcha he got a lot of things to keep himself busy until then."

"Well, I guess you're probably right. Spike can talk now, I'm sure he got a lot of things for him to do."

Of course, Spike on the other hand stared wide dropped, dropping the stick as his ears drooped. Depressed, the dog looks down, mumbling, "Twilight? Oh man, why must you go?"

Spike sighs a bit, ever since the Friendship Games, Twilight has more confident yet less hanging around with the dog lately. Perhaps he will do what he would do whenever Twilight would go out with Ben: go on a depressing walk. Of course, upon reaching the road, Spike sighs as he fains, groaning into the mud. If only there's something that will cheer him up.

"Mina! Come on, girl!" A voice calls out. This got Spike's attention as he looks up in confused, wondering where that voice is coming from.

Spike's eyes bugged out as he saw someone walking over to a fancy limo waiting nearby: a moderate turquoise colored eye dog with light rose hair. The dog, known as Mina, saw Mina. She smiles and barks to him in a flirting matter.

"Wow, hi!" Spike exclaims as Mina walks over to the limo. She was saying "hello there, big boy" in dog talk.

("I'll be at my penthouse if you want to see more of me.")

Mina got into the limo, making Spike sighs happily. Wow, that is one pretty dog! As soon as the limo begins to drive off, Spike follows the limo in curiosity. He definitely wants to see more of her!

The limo reached a nice little hotel where Mina's owner walks her out, the two are walking about a security dog, a red Dragon orange hair who is keeping watch to make sure that no one gets into the hotel except for employees and guests.

"Hey, Garble! Keeping an eye on things?" The owner ask Garble who nodded. "Okay, keep at it."

Once Mina and her owner goes into the hotel, Garble stood his ground as if challenging anyone to get inside. Around that time, Spike was turning the corner, smiling eagerly. He couldn't wait to meet up with Mina!

But suddenly, Spike yelps as he comes face to face with Garble, who barks, ("Where do you think you're going, loser?")

Stitch gave an awkward look as he tries to pass Garble, but the guard dog kept blocking his way. Spike frowns as he snaps, "Come on! Let me in to play with Mina!"

("NO!")

Spike yelps as Garble kicks him into a nearby trash can. The dog frowns as he lifts the lid up. Spike hears a happy bark from the top floor, making him look up. There's Mina, waving from her penthouse, saying, ("I'm waiting whenever you are!")

Spike's eyes turned to hearts as he begins to drool. The dog frowns in determination. He will get by Garble if it kills him doing so!

The first attempt to sneak was to send a package to the penthouse. Spike, smirking, hid inside the package as he waits. Of course, Garble sniffs the package and knew that something's up. He quickly used a letter stamp and marked it "TO ANARCTICA".

A mail truck quickly came by and picks up the package before driving off. It was a few minutes later when a bus marked "ANARCTICA LINES" came by, dropping off Spike who is now in a block of ice, shivering.

Garble simply kicks Spike out of the way. Nice try!

A few minutes later, Garble was sitting down, waiting while humming a bit. But the dog hears drilling and sawing noise, much to his puzzled state. He doesn't know what's going but kept in his position...

That is until Garble looks up upon noticing a huge shadow looming over him: a huge Dragon was coming at him! This causes the dog to scream and faints to the ground.

Spike chuckles as he appears from the side, kicking the wooden cardboard Dragon aside, "Man! What a dope! Glad Dragon me send a drawing of his huge self from Equestria!"

With a hum, Spike carefully walks around Garble as he goes into the hotel. This is great! The dog is going to meet Mina! Spike smiles as he looks around the lobby, finding the stairs, deciding to take them all the way to the penthouse. But upon entering, his eyes widened up upon realizing how many floors there are in this place!

Still, Spike stood the stairs and kept on using them. Upon reaching the top, he is exhausted like mad.

Spike of course spots some elevators nearby. He groans, "Aww man! Why do I always forget that this place has elevators?!"

But Spike manages to recover upon spotting the word "PENTHOUSE" right in front of him, this leads to the entrance where his heart's desire is at. The dog walks over, licking his paw and rubbing his head to get rid of any cowlicks. Spike then knocks on the door before going inside.

"Hello? Pretty dog?" Spike calls as he looks around the penthouse. It appears to be empty. Where's..."

("Wow! I never thought you'd ever get here!") Mina laughs as she jumps Spike, kissing him on the cheek. ("This is great! We shall fall in love!")

Spike's eyes widened as he blushed. The dog is beginning to like the idea. He could see himself married to Mina, having a family and being old together. Spike likes the idea of that...

("Let's forget our owners! Does it matter what they think?") Mina barks as she kisses Spike some more.

Spike's eyes widened in worry. He has almost forgotten Twilight! If he runs off with Mina, what would happen to her? He could imagined a future where Twilight has grown old and alone, throwing a stick into a pile of ones.

"Spike, fetch the stick, boy..." Twilight mumbles in an old woman voice. She sighs unhappily. The old woman wishes her best doggy friend was home.

Spike snaps out of his fantasy, shaking his head. He can't abandon Twilight! No love is worth doing so!

"Hey, listen, Mina, you're good, but unfortunately, I got responsibilities elsewhere." Spike said as he pushes the dog right off, heading to the door. "So, it's not you, it's me. I gotta go..."

But then Mina rushes over to shut the dog. She smirks while saying, ("Hey, lover boy! Going somewhere? You just got here...")

"Yeah, and here I go!" Spike yelps as he rushes over to the kitchen in hopes to escape. But then Mina made a brick wall in front of it and begins to pile stuff. She isn't going to let him go without a fight!

("Come on, don't leave now! We got a lot of time to know one another!")

"I can't stay, really!" Spike gulps as he rushes outside, hiding behind a cactus.

Mina however pushes the cactus aside, speaking, ("Hide and seek! I won!")

"And I lose!" Spike screams as he runs into a pendulum clock. Unfortunately, a certain pursuing dog follows him in there, closing the door.

("Come on, you're only postponing your fate!")

"What part of no don't you understand?!"

Spike jumps out of the clock, running outside once more. He looks down the edge of the rooftop, it looks like a long way down! However, Spike turns to see the flirting Mina rushing towards him.

"Back off, I'll jump!" Spike yells as he climbs onto the balcony. "Hey, it's either you and me...and I prefer me right now!"

Spike turns back and gulps before jumping down. The dog would probably live it somehow due to his new magical abilities...but at least hitting the ground hard is much better than staying up there!

Of course, Mina, upon spotting her love jumping, took action. She runs out of the penthouse, took the elevator and got of the hotel. The dog positioned herself under Spike, preparing to kiss once she catches him.

Spike on the other hand yelps in alarm. As if impossible, except for Pinkie Pie physics, he flew all the way back to the top of the building. Spike rushes back to the elevator and pushed a button. He gotta get away from that mad female dog!

Spike saw Mina, waiting in the second elevator once the doors opened. He screams and took the first one, riding it all the way down.

Spike runs out of the elevator...and yells upon spotting Garble, now recovered, standing near the entrance to the doors, "YIPE! I'VE FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT YOU!"

Spike rushes back into the elevator, making Garble's ears perked as he turns around. Did he hear something?

Spike arrives to the top of the elevator...and there's Mina waiting for him! The purple dog did a wild Tex Avery take as he rode the elevator down again. And of course, there's Garble waiting for him. Spike snaps his paws, getting an idea. This will work and he will get rid of two problems at the same time!

Spike got back to the top floor and there's Mina, waiting for him as she ask lovingly, ("Miss me, big boy?")

Spike quickly closed the elevator doors. Mina smiles as she waited until the elevator dinged. Her love is coming!

But instead of Spike waiting inside the elevator, there's Garble, confused especially when Mina hops onto him. The girl dog looks confused, wasn't Spike here a few seconds ago?

Of course, Garble smirks as he kisses Mina, making her smile and blushed. She spoke, ("Wow! I didn't noticed how attractive you were until now, Garble! You are way better than that little purple one who got away!")

Garble blushed. Is he going to have fun tonight!

Now as for Spike, he got back downstairs, the dog is now going to do anything with that crazy hotel, penthouse or Mina ever again! He rushes out of the place and heads back to Twilight's home.

By the time Spike arrived and sat back on the porch, he saw Twilight arriving with Ben, smiling as she said, "Thanks for the date, Ben! See you sometime next week!"

"Take care, Twilight!" Ben exclaims as he heads on home. Twilight smiles when Spike rushes over and jumps into her arms, licking her happily.

"Whoa, what the...hee hee! Aww, did you miss me, Spike?"

"Sure did, Twilight!" Spike exclaims with a smile. Love is fine, but nothing beats the love of a owner!

"You didn't get lonely, right Spike?" Twilight ask as she pets him on the head.

"Well, I got a very...interesting day." Spike said, smiling as the two hug each other.

"You're a good boy, Spike!"

Spike smiles. It's great to be home.

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is over, the audience applauds eagerly for a cartoon well done.

At her table, Pinkamena spoke to her brother, "Well seems this night either end good or really bad "

Golden Heart nodded as he spoke, "Well let's try to help make sure things go well."

"There sure are lots of folk with dates. Wish I had one"

A bad guy slowly comes into view and gloats, "Who would love a freak with a face that frightens foals?"

Things go silent and many bad guys hide, even Golden Heart casts a shield. Pinkamena slowly turns her head, looking at the guy. His sly smirk slowly fades and realizes he made a big error and recalls what he was told: 'Whatever you do, do not insult the flat mane Pink Pony Even on date night unless you want a death wish.'

He gulps and Pinkamena shadows over the guy a bit We now see the guy who is seen hanging above the ceiling upside down, beaten and really bruised. Pinkamena was sitting down on her chair as Golden Heart was looking up and then looks at her.

"I am sure you will have one. Just give it time so how about we help out Shining Armor........." Golden Heart ask Pinkamena in confidence.

"Just be careful about Flurry Heart. I know you were born an Alicorn but her powers are still very powerful since she has not much control of how much she uses so if she sneezes, better brace for the outcomes or all her other powers." Pinkamena warns her brother of the problems at hoof here.

"Yeah, being a foal, it is hard to control your own powers and a born Alicorn is really something to be on alert about. Well, let's get to it."

Surprise happily rides around in a teacup, going pass Coriander Cumin and Saffron Masala who jumped back in surprise. Meanwhile, Pinkie happily bounces in, saying, "Oh boy! I am so ready to wait on Shining and Cadance!"

Of course, before Pinkie could go find the couple, Ben gallops up to her, exclaiming, "Pinkie! Thank my mother that I found you! Listen, we got an emergency at Table 2468!"

"2468? We don't have one."

"Well, that's the emergency!"

"Holy Celestia! I better take care of it!"

Pinkie rushes off quickly, making Ben sighs in relief while smiling in secret. At least Pinkie is away from Shining and Cadance. Time to check on the two.

The couple sat at their table. Shining blushed a bit as his wife gives him a warm smile. He spoke, "That was...well...a cute cartoon, right?"

"Yeah, it was pretty cool." Cadance said with a smile. The lovers stared at each other for a while, then the two lean towards each other, preparing to kiss.

That is, until Ben came between the two who yelped in alarm; the Earth Pony spoke, "Hey! How is my favorite in laws doing? Need anything? Shining was about to speak but Ben's laughter cut him off. "Awww, am I kidding? Of course you do! You need candles!"

"Candles? Wait, Ben. It's okay, really. I don't need..." Shining begins to protest as Ben runs off....only to come back with Big Daddy McColt. "Big Daddy? Set these two up with some candles!"

"Sure can do!" Big Daddy said as he takes his hat off and digs through it, taking out some candles. "Okay, got a palm wax candle, a soy wax candle, a pure beeswax candle, a bayberry candle, a blended paraffin candle and a mineral oil candle. All good candles for a romantic night. Did I mentioned I got a cousin who makes these?"

"Ben, Big Daddy, come..." Of course, Shining sighs as Big Daddy lit all the candles, not even paying attention!

Flurry Heart was playing with the dead fishes happily and wildly. Spotted her, Ben moved slowly and carefully while approaching her.

"Flurry, be a good girl and let Uncle Ben get you-!" Ben said as he begins to speak.

SNAP! Flurry Heart and all the dead fishes disappeared from his sight after something caught them. Ben looked up and found something shocking to him - Dragoking has Flurry Heart and the fishes inside his mouth. He was about to gobble them.

Ben gasped as he summoned Megaton Hammer, "No! You don't! Spit her out!"

As Ben jumped up high, he slammed his hammer on Dragoking's head hard, releasing and pouring Flurry Heart and the fishes out and dropped to the plate. He quickly dived and caught her before landing on the ground hard.

Ben sighed, "You okay, Flurry?" Flurry Heart teleported at once. Ben groaned in annoyance. "Of course, she is." A growl is heard. He looked up and found Dragoking glaring and snarling at him. He chuckled uneasily). "I'm not. Nice, Hydragoon."

Dragoking screeched in anger. Ben screamed in fear as he quickly ran off, followed by Hydragoon.

Although the candles set up, Shining and Cadance were looking into each other's eyes romantically. Pinkie meanwhile was coming over to their table.

"Okie dokie lokie! There's the cute couple now! Better get their order!" Pinkie hums happily. She passed by a table where Trouble Shoes is napping, his rope sits at his table.

As Rainbow and Rarity peeks out from under the table, the white unicorn groans, "Appears Ben's distraction didn't work for long."

"So Plan B?" Rainbow ask Rarity with a shrug.

"Indeed!" Rarity got out and grabs Trouble Shoes's rope. "Pardon me, darling, but we must borrow your rope for a second."

"Doesn't matter none." Trouble Shoes mumbles in his sleep.

As Shining and Cadance kept on looking into each other's eyes, they were interrupted by Pinkie who spoke up, "Hey there! Good evening, my name is Pinkie Pie! I'm ready to take your ord..."

Before Pinkie could finish it, she was suddenly lassoed and tossed over to a broom closet. Rainbow, who is by the door, shut it and clocks the door, smirking. Pinkie will have a hard time getting out of there!

Shining groans as he covers his face in embarrassment. Which got worst as Rarity came over, speaking, "Oh, Prince Shining! I must say, your wife Princess Cadance looks wonderful as usually! But Gasp! Your table is so small! Did Ben put you here?"

"No, no, no, it's fine, Rarity, really!" Shining insists with a nervous smile.

"Tsk, tsk! This is unacceptable! Stay here, darling! Allow me to get you a new table!"

"But you don't really need..."

Too late, Rarity ran off, causing Shining to groan once more...

And sure enough, the couple were sitting at a big booth...which is so big that Shining and Cadance were too far away to hold hooves. The Prince of the Crystal Empire frowns at Rarity as he spoke sarcastically, "Thanks a lot, Rarity. Hope we didn't inconvenience anyone."

"Well, not to worry, darling, it's no trouble at all!" Rarity giggled happily. "Right, guys?"

Sure enough, Rarity waves to the couple's old table. Omega's fellow robots Eta, Xi, Lambda, Kappa, Iota, Zeta, Gamma, Epsilon, Beta, Alpha, and Delta were sitting in the two chairs, some of them balanced each other on each one by standing on each other's shoulders.

"Negative. No problem." Alpha said to Rarity with a nod.

Garble and his gang were playing poker. As they set their cards down in winning the game, someone gave the Full House cards. The Dragons gasped in shock and surprise. They looked up and found Flurry Heart who was giggling happily.

"Are you kidding me?!" Garble growled. "Nopony is gonna make fun of Garble!"

"Back off!" A familiar Dragon yells out. Spike use and whacked a broom at Garble and his gang hard. He quickly grabbed Flurry Heart and ran off at once.

A few moments later, the couple managed to get a brand new tables. No candles and they weren't too far away from each other. Cadance giggled as she prepares to nuzzle her husband. Looks like everything is peaceful!

"Shining, Cadance!" A familiar voice spoke up. The two jumped as they saw Pinkie coming her way with a smile. "Hey, you two! Sorry I haven't gotten over here yet! But I am here, ready to..."

Pinkie didn't finish and didn't get too far. She yelps while following into a big hole that appeared from out of nowhere, screaming as she disappeared from sight. As everyone looks over to the hole, Twilight trotted over, saying innocently, "Wow! We must have termites in this place."

"Or, you do have a little filly willing to help a giant hole for you for archaeologist's sake!" Petunia Paleo giggled as she came out of the hole, the one responsible for this. She waves out, giving an innocent smile.

"Ah, Twiley." Shining sighs in relief as his sister came over to him and Cadance. "Cadance, I bet you remember her."

"Of course, how could I forget the foal I used to foalsit?" Cadance giggled nodding in recognization.

"Charmed." Twilight giggled right back. "Wanna do the dance?"

"Uh, later, Twiley. I mean, you know just to say hi and "leave" our guests alone so they can have a good time, right Twiley?" Shining ask, giving a glare to his little sister. He hopes that at least Twilight would get the hint and not bother him and/or Cadance tonight like Ben and Rarity has did.

"Hmmm....oh yes, sure. I understand. Oh hey, what do we got here?" Twilight gallops off quickly, coming back as she uses her magic to bring a dish of spaghetti and put it onto the table. Shining looks shocked, his sister didn't hear him! "Oh wow, a plate of spaghetti! Made by our good chefs! Enjoy yourselves!"

Twilight rushes of to grab Cheese Sandwich and Octavia, who held their instruments. As the two played for the couple, a romantic night background appeared behind the couple. Shining and Cadance looks at each other but the pink alicorn shrugs it off as she offered a forkful of spaghetti. Her husband shrugged as he just took the forkful and ate it, while his wife stuck a forkful of spaghetti of his own to eat.

"Say CHEESE!" A familiar voice spoke out. Shining and Cadance turns in confusion, yelping as a flash of light blinded them for a mere seconds.

A few seconds later, Twilight, Ben, Rainbow, Rarity, Nyx and Phobos looked at the couple, with shocked looks on their faces, enjoying their meal together. The gang gives out sighs of happiness while Ben spoke out, "I bet this is the best day you ever had!"

Shining just give out a big frown though Cadance looks indifferent. Nyx in concern spoke, "I don't know, daddy. Uncle Shiny doesn't seem happy."

"Whatcha mean, he loves it." Phobos remarks, not getting the fact that Shining is upset right now.

On stage a while later, Twilight came out to announce the next cartoon, "All right, here's a biking story, going out to my BBBFF Shining!" The mentioned unicorn's eyes widened in shock as he hid his face. "Yeah, he used to love shorts like this ever since he was a colt. In fact, I got a picture of him like now!" The mare happily took out a photo of Shining when he was little and long before Twilight was born. "Isn't he adorable?"

Everyone laughed, even Cadance did a bit. Shining, holding his face, groans, "Someone please, shoot me now."

"Now show the next cartoon." Twilight suddenly squealed in fear as something appeared on the screen, "No! Not that! Anything but that!" Flurry Heart giggled as she put a picture on the projector's screen. "Shining Armor is gonna kill me."

The audience applauded as finally, the cartoon started.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A PINKIE PIE CARTOON

How to Ride a Bike

"What we got is a fine specimen of self-propelled, two-wheeled transportation, which is known as...Pinkie-ilius Bike-edalous."

In a field somewhere, our favorite pink pony was riding a bike down the street. Upon hearing the voice, she turned and asked, "Huh? Were you talking about me, Mr. Narrator?"

"But for sanity's sake, we shall call her 'Miss Biker'!"

"Ooooh, you were talking about me." Pinkie giggled happily as she kept on riding onward.

"For Miss Biker, riding is her greatest fun and pleasure. Nothing can compare to the head on-rapture of some good hearty exercise as she enjoys the outdoors..."

Pinkie gave a grin towards the camera; that is so true! But suddenly, she hears something causing her to give a confused look while looking around...and without warning, a bunch of ponies on bikes rushed past her, leaving the Earth Pony in a cloud of dust.

"...as well as breathing in the clean, fresh air."

Pinkie hacks a bit as the dust cleared, we see her tied around the bicycle. Annoyed, the pink pony yelled at the racing bikers, "Oh, you want to race? Well, okie dokie lokie! I will give you race, road ponies!"

Pinkie struggles to get out of her predicament. She will show these meanie ponies a thing or two.

"Now then, before our Miss Biker can become Miss Racer, she must have the proper equipment."

Pinkie yelped as she tumble and scream as she fell right out, her bike crashed right on top of her. Ouch.

"So, first things first...CHOOSING A BIKE!"

Pinkie stood in front of a blue background. She gives out a smile, this could be fun!

"There are different kinds of bikes that Miss Bike here can choose. For example, we got the low rider..."

Pinkie yelps, falling a bit. The mare is now riding a bike which was tilted and short, even for her.

"...the high wheeler..."

Pinkie now yelps as one wheel from the bike grew big. The mare does her best to keep her balance on the high-wheeled bike.

"...the folding bike..."

The bike soon disappeared as a suitcase appears in its place, causing Pinkie to fall inside it. The mare tries her best to get back up.

"...the mountain bike..."

Pinkie is now wearing mountain clothes...with a ram on top of her as she is now riding a mountain bike. This is hard!

"...the micro bike..."

Now our heroine fell down towards the small bike which is easier to balance as if it's like a tricycle.

"...the hamster bike..."

Without warning AGAIN, the bike grew so big that the wheels were replaced with hamster wheels...the hamsters inside looks at Pinkie. The mare happily waves some carrots towards the hamsters, causing them to make her go backward. Hey, I didn't say she was Fluttershy!

"...the rocket bike..."

Our favorite pink pony came back, on a rocket attached to a wheel much to her worry. And sure enough, the rocket bike blasted off just as she manages to get off. Pinkie looks over at the camera. Is that all?

"...and finally, the BIKE-CICLE!"

Pinkie saw a bicycle shaped like a Popsicle appeared under her. The mare felt comfortable, though the bike melted a bit. She smiled, she is liking this so far.

"Refreshingly chilly." Pinkie said with a happy squee.

"Next step...ACCESORIES!"

Pinkie smiles, she now has a shiny new red bicycle, comfortable with it as the mare gives a hoof up in approval.

"Once one has chosen the proper model, Miss Biker is ready to personalize her bi-pedular transportity!"

"Eeek, don't say that!" Pinkie gasped in horror upon hearing the narrator saying that. "There could be foals watching this, you Mr. Dirty Mouth!"

"AKA, your bicycle."

"Oooh, sorry, my bad." Pinkie said with a nervous chuckle. She thought the narrator meant something else! As Pinkie got onto the bike, she continues, "So, what do I need?"

"First off, you need a basket..."

A flower patterned basket appears in front of the bike. So far, so good, right?

"...a flag..."

A flag appears on the rear of the bike, much to Pinkie's notice.

"...reflectors."

Pinkie watches as some reflectors appears in the front and back of the bike itself.

"...a horn..."

Next, a horn appears, propping right in front of the bike itself.

"... a bell, whistles, streamers, headlight, brake-lights, mud flaps, brake canopy, side-car and running boards!"

Without warning, the rest of the stuff appears around Pinkie and the bike. The pink pony yelps, that's a lot of stuff! She is having trouble moving and/or getting out!

"Now, isn't that snazzy?"

"Fun...but, uh, any chance you can tell me where my bike's pedals are?" Pinkie ask with a frown as she looks at the camera. With so many stuff, she is having trouble even seeing the pedals.

"Right then, never mind the stuff. Time we move on to...HOW TO RIDE A BIKE!"

A few moments later, Pinkie is relaxing. The bike, with the extra accessories now gone, was pedaling on its own. Don't ask, just accept!

"Even a natural biker like Miss Biker can learn from a few lessons. We shall begin with posture."

As such, Pinkie stood up as she put her back legs on the pedals, moving as good as she could.

"Put both hooves onto the handlebars."

Pinkie managed to put her upper legs onto the handles, making sure to keep her steady.

"Make sure to lean forward, but slightly."

Pinkie managed to lean a little forward a bit.

"Shoulders down, or your back will do."

Pinkie pointed her shoulders (or her back) down a bit.

"Back straight, arms bent, fingers tightened, caboose up slightly, heels up, chin out, eyes open...and now, pedal!"

Pinkie quickly did as the narrator said. She begins to pedal, doing as best as she could. This biking thing is a bit harder for ponies.

"Faster, faster, and faster some more."

Pinkie begins to pedal fast, looking and concentrating. To be honest, the mare is going a bit too fast. One could imagine if she could stop at all!

"All right, and STOP!"

Pinkie did so. Unfortunately though, she ends up going forwards too fast, screaming like mad.

"And...rest."

A crash was heard. Someone is heard yelling, "Hey, GET OUT OF THERE, YOU DUMB PONY!" Honking and more yelling was heard as more crashing sounds were made. That is one nasty crash.

"Ouch. Now, here's another part of this lesson...THE RULES OF THE ROAD!"

Pinkie stood at attention a few moments later, holding her helmet. She prepared to do the next lesson, even if it means more insanity.

"First rule...before you go anywhere, make sure to put your helmet ON first."

Pinkie nodded. She begins to work on putting on her helmet, though wrongly. The mare puts the helmet on her hooves, then on her front and rear, then spins around to the point that she looks like a tortoise. It took a while, but Pinkie finally was able to get her helmet right on.

"Using the convenient chin strap."

Pinkie with a nod adjusts her helmet. She knew that. It was a few moments later as she was on her bicycle on the road once more.

"Second rule...always ride with the flow of traffic."

A pony pulling a carriage rushes past Pinkie, causing her to spin around to the point that she was riding backwards. The mare, noticing, turns back around, only for another pony pulling a carriage to rush by her, spinning her in the wrong direction.

Pinkie corrects herself, but more ponies pulling carriages rushed by, spinning her around and around...until a crash was heard. It turns out that Pinkie was struggling to pedal as a bunch of ponies dangled by their carriages as they were piled on top of her.

A few moments later, Pinkie was stationed in the middle of somewhere, along with her bike. Time for the next part of the lesson!

"Rule 3...know your hoof signals. To indicate turning right..."

Pinkie raised her left upper arm up.

"...turning left..."

Pinkie aims her left arm towards the left. She is doing fine (at first as usual).

"...yielding..."

Pinkie flaps her hooves around like a bird...what?

"...merging..."

Pinkie claps her hooves, happily and playfully.

"...skidding, crashing, screaming, washing, drying, fluffing, folding, starching AND..."

Pinkie manages to pull off most of the hoof signals, which become quite odd even for her. She even somehow managed to end up doing the motions for laundry...before she finally fell off her bike in a folded position.

"...stopping..."

It was a bit later at night. Pinkie pedals as hard as she could, wearing a lot of lights for some reasons. Why, you may ask?

"Rule 4....whenever you bike at night, best to be highly visible."

Pinkie groans as she was pedaling...dragging behind a large arrow that was glowing brightly, pointing right at her. Not what the narrator works, but whatever.

It was morning as Pinkie was now pedaling on the countryside.

"And finally, rule number 5...always respect your other cyclists."

Pinkie grins and smiles...but yelps as the same flash of bikers from before races past her, squashing the pony. She recovers as she laughs, "Oooooh! I think they wanna race!"

"...well, Miss Biker, you have done all the necessary preparations, so GO TO IT!"

Pinkie grins, cycling after the bikers. They all soon right at a bike racing tournament where they were nestled at the starting line. Time to show these bikers whose bike!

"And...THEY'RE OFF!"

The other cyclists raced off...except for Pinkie who looks around confused. But with a determined frown, our pink pony begins to go off.

"Hoo boy. That slow start will cost zero."

The cyclists begins to race uphill like mad, they are determined to win this baby, that's for sure!

"Now our racers are coming to the risen section. But it looks like our racer in last place is gaining towards them and fast."

Sure enough, Pinkie passed by the hills and is following the racers closely. One of them, looking behind himself, saw her and frowns. As he goes down a hill, the biker threw a box of tacks down, which started to scatter. That cheater!

"Uh oh. The competition suddenly begins to turn tacky!"

Pinkie gasps as she slid down the hill and right over the tracks. The mare begins to fall off the track, right towards some hale bays. Pinkie looks over her bike as her tires were deflated. Thinking quickly, the mare digs around her seat, taking out a lot of items. Pinkie finds a tire pump and begins pumping some air back into the tires. Once that's done, she taped the wheels off, got back on and cycles once more.

Now, from a sports view, we see a map of the track itself. The pink dot represents Pinkie while the black dots represents the other ones.

"Double Zero lags by a mile... but wait! He's trying to double-switchback to get ahead of the group! Oh, but he has been DENIED! Here's another attempt with a reverse turn... oh, nope! Now, it's a mad scramble to the left, a dark turn through the hills, a top-soil turn with a gravel chaser and... oh, could it be... YES! A JACK-BOLTED BOOT SURPRISE!"

Of course, back at the race, Pinkie quickly recovers, find herself in the hay bales once more. She must win this race! The mare got back onto her bike, starting to cycle back at the competition.

"Now Double Zero is gaining on the competition."

Of course, one of the racers spotted Pinkie behind him. He isn't going to allow the mare to get past. With an evil snicker, the racer pushed a button, sending out a cloud of smoke behind himself.

"Holy smokes!"

"Yikes! Help, I can't see, can't see!" Pinkie cries out, coughing as she finds herself in a cloud of smoke. The mare finds herself veering her bike off the course, driving around the stands. The audience moves to dodges her like mad. "Oops, sorry! So sorry, my bad!"

"Wow, will you look at that! Double Zero is taking a little excursion! I guess she's getting to know her fans here!"

Pinkie manages, barely, to avoid some of the fans watching as she drove down the stairs, ending up right onto the track. As the pink pony looks around confused, she saw the other racers race past her. The mare growls in determination. She got back onto the bike once more and cycles back, burning up the track...literally!

"Now here comes Double Zero back in the race once more! She's pulling at the steam! She's getting at the gas! She's heavy on the horsepower...literally!"

The same cheating racer saw Pinkie gaining. This causes him to push another button while snickering wickedly. A Detour sign suddenly appears. Pinkie, riding the bike as normal, saw it and moves. This causes her to go off course before falling right into a pit.

"Yikes! Appears Double Zero is out of the race again! This could be...wait, hang on! What's this???"

Pinkie popped her head out of the dirty, spotting the finish line. In determination, our heroine begins to cycle below ground with her head sticking out of the latter. Impossible, but random!

"Incredible! Double Zero has taken the lead!"

"Hee hee, too easy!" Pinkie exclaims with a happy laugh. She will win this race for sure!

Spoken too soon though. Pinkie ends up running right into a rock, same as the other racers who gained up on her...as a cloud of smoke appeared. Once the dust was cleared, everyone and their bikes were dizzily piled on top of the rock as Pinkie was somehow buried under her, her helmet was slightly off.

"Huh? What happened? I didn't see a thing! So who won???"

Pinkie's helmet bounced as it crosses the finish line. Along with her tongue that touches the line. Everyone cheers as Pinkie looks around in confusion. What just happened?

"YES! DOUBLE ZERO WINS!"

Upon hearing that, Pinkie gives out a wide smile. She won the race!

The next day, Pinkie rides along the city lines with her racing trophy with a smile as she looks at it. It's nice to be a winner!

"At long last, Miss Biker's hard has paid off. She is a true champion biker rider indeed!"

Pinkie's happiness didn't last long: she wasn't paying attention which resulted in her hitting a lamppost, sending her falling off her bike.

"Oooh! Miss Biker has apparently forgotten the most important rule of them...watch where you're going!"

Pinkie got, giving out a sheepish smile as she spokes, "Oopsie daisy!"

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon's over, the audience applauds wildly, another good short. Of course, for Shining, he blushed in embarrassment while his wife could only applaud. This date could not grow any worse...and where is his baby?

Speaking of which, Flurry happily flew near Pinkamena's group. A beam of magic is coming at the group and Pinkamena gets in the path in her Armor. She uses her blade's sword to defend and deflect the magic skidding lightly.

"Goldie, maybe it is a good time to cast that bubble barrier." Pinkamena said quickly.

"Alright, here goes nothing." Golden Heart said. His horn glows and then casts a spell around Flurry Heart. The Foal looks around and blinks away but is still in it. "That will keep her settled down."

"And also the foal still can breath in there so no worries there."

Of course, while the problem with Flurry seems to have died down, for Shining, his other problem is about to get bigger! Twilight got back on stage, smiling as she spoke, "All ladies, mare and gentlecolts, in honor of tonight's special romantic occasion, we decided to invite one special musical guest!"

"Aww, no, no...." Shining mumbles in horror as his wife raises an eyebrow. His sister isn't going to do what he fears he will be doing, is she?!

"Big brother, Cadance, here is Countess Coloratura AKA Applejack's friend Rara singing her classic song "The Magic Inside". Wink, wink!"

Twilight begins winking towards the others, much to Shining's embarrassment as he tries to hide himself, shaking. He got to put a stop to this, right now!

The audience applauds as Rara got on stage, smiling as she spoke, "Thank you, Twilight, thank you! I dedicate this song to our special pair of lovebirds...Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadance!" The mare then begins to sing.

Rara: I'm here to show you who I am
Throw...

"HANG ON, SOTP IT, ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!" Shining screams out in frustration. This causes the music to stop as everyone turns towards him. "FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE, WILL YOU STOP FUSING OVER US AND LEAVE US ALONE?!"

"Err, big brother? Is anything wrong?" Twilight ask getting a bit confused yet scared. She hasn't seen Shining like this since the wedding practice.

"A LOT!!!" Shining took a deep breaths, seeing that he is scaring Twilight. "Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell but enough is enough already! I asked that Cadance and I be left alone. And what did you two? Crowd us me with candles, moving seats, romantic dinners, musical numbers! I didn't want that, remember? All I wanted is a quiet date with Cadance...as well as someone to watch Flurry which I'm glad you did, but still! What else I got? A day dedicated to the thing I wanted left alone! Seriously, what's next? A marching band?"

Upon hearing this, Rarity quickly turns to the marching band from Canterlot High, saying, "Sorry, darlings, gig's off."

For a while, looks like Shining's close to losing it. But a surprising voice arrives, much to everyone's surprise.

"Hey, come on, ponies! Can't you leave them alone?" Pinkie demands with a frown as she rushes onto the scene. "Twilight's big brother and his wife are on a date together!"

"Wait, Pinkie?" Shining ask dumbstruck as Pinkie came over to his table, glaring at ones making a fuss over him and Cadance, especially the guilty Twilight, Ben, Rainbow and Rarity. The mare he tried to avoid getting involved in his date is helping?

"Relax, Shining. I'll help you! Come on, everyone. I'm sure Shining and Cadance appreciate what you're trying to do, but you're doing too much, even more me! Give them space, they needed some time alone! The only time they should want to speak to somepony if someone is taking their orders and giving out food! They don't need silly fillies messing up their fun! At least let them relax, have fun on their date!"

"Wait, hang on! I thought you would be the one making a fuss over me and be the party pony as you usually be!"

"Normally yes, but at least after the incident with Maud and Starlight, I decided to go easy on invading ponies' privacy and give them privacy!" Pinkie explains determined to Shining.

"Wow, thanks, Pinkie for helping us out." Cadance said, smiling to Pinkie, relived that she's helping her and Shining be alone. "As well as Pinkamena helping our little baby. I'm glad you're our waitress."

"Huh." Shining said, smiling as Pinkie gives out a big grin. "Pinkie, I'm sorry. For a while, I was worried you would end up ruining my date, but you ended up saving it."

"Yep! I may be random, clumsy and silly, but I wouldn't do that far!" Pinkie exclaims happily. "Now as your waitress for the night, allow me to give you some dessert on the house."

Pinkie heads on, stepping right onto a split candle which ended up on the floor. The mare yelps as she screams, flying over and bumping over each table in rapid succession.

Pinkie crashes into a table where Surprise and Wind Whistler (Gen 1) were having tea. Surprise yelps, "Whoa, one lump or two?!"

"I think I've had enough." Wind Whistler remarks dryly.

Pinkie crashes onto Trixie and the Devil Pony, spilling stuff onto the latter. The former groans out, "Darn it, Boris! Now Trixie got to have you dry cleaned!"

"Wait, I thought Boris was a separate pony." The Devil Pony said to Trixie confused. "Wait, I'm Boris???"

"Got to clean your mind up with another spell."

Pinkamena's bots, trying to balance each other, were crashed into by Pinkie, knocking them all down and falling right onto their table with a thud. The "flight" ended with the mare sliding right into the kitchen and crashing right in. Pinkie peeks, giggling nervously, "Sorry!"

The whole main seating area was ruined as everyone stared in utter shock. Even the main group looks shocked as Ben groans out, "Oh man! Now the date is ruined big time!"

Shining and Cadance stared on in shock...until the princess begins to laugh. Nyx smiles as she said, "Oh, I don't know. I think Auntie Cadance is liking it!"

Even Shining who noticed begins to laugh as he and his wife engulfed each other in a hug. The staff sighs in relief. That was a close one!

Pinkamena pauses as she spoke, "You know for some reason, this took much longer than it was supposed to be but anyway we bets be ready for what happens at the end. Something intense always happens before the night ends."

Golden Heart nodded as he adds, "I see but I am certain we will be ready for whatever will happen."

"Hope your right, brother. Flurry Heart can still cause trouble so be on guard for that, ok. And at least Shining Armor and Cadence got their perfect date thanks to Pinkie Pie."

The group nods, agreeing.

As the show was about over later night, Shining and Cadance were heading towards the exit.

"Hey, Cadance. Glad you enjoyed yourself tonight." Shining said, giving his wife a smile. Cadance did some thinking as he sighs, "Listen. Sorry if things started getting a little weird."

"Well, Shining, I've got only one thing to say to you about tonight." Cadance giggles. She leans over towards Shining's ear and starts to whisper. This made him gasp in surprise.

A while later, Brian came over to Twilight, Spike, Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Nyx and Phobos. He smiles while saying, "Hey, everyone! Guess what I found out!"

"It's all right, Brian, I will tell them." Shining said, coming over and shakes his head while smiling. He will tell his sister and the others this bit of news. The prince coughs as he continues, "Well, turns out this date that Cadance has ever had. And she can't wait to come back!"

The others sighs in relief, Cadance love it! Twilight exclaims, "Great to hear that big brother! No worries, next time, we will make your date even better!"

"That's...great."

"Giving you privacy, of course. Hee hee hee. Has anyone seen Ben?"

SCREAM! Everyone yelped in surprise and concern.

"I think I have a pretty good idea." Spike groans out as he shakes his head.

"I done think he's looking for the baby to give back to you, Shining," Applejack explains to Shining with a shrug.

"Oh right, I almost forgot. Is she okay?" Shining ask, worried for his little foal.

Everyone turned and found Ben arriving, with Flurry Heart on his back. As they were about to ask, they yelped upon smelling the disgusted acid smell. They ewe in disgust.

"I'm not gonna ask that again." Twilight groans a bit, shuddering. Perhaps she's better off not knowing!

"What happen again?" Phobos ask, much to everyone's dismay.

Ben groaned, "Flurry was playing around with Dragoking's food again. He got her in there again. And the next thing I know, he was waiting for me the whole time to get inside his mouth! Luckily, I escaped."

"Unlucky for you again. He's back again!" Rainbow yelps as she points to right behind Ben.

Ben turned to his back and found Dragoking growling while smirking in amusement at him. He groaned in defeat.

"I hate Hydras especially-!" Ben begins to speak. SNAP! Drargoking snapped Ben into his mouth before gobbling him through a long neck. "This one... Geez. This is getting annoying..."

"Someone get him out of that there." Twilight said seriously as the others work to get Ben out of Dragoking. Flurry Heart, who escaped in time, giggled playfully. "Always the little silly pony, huh?"

Flurry giggled as she nodded, Rainbow remarks, "All right, time for new business. You know the help wanted applications you put you last week, egghead?"

"Yeah, I remember. The new trainees are ready, right?"

"Yep. Took some training for them, but I think they get the idea. They should be here around next show."

"Excellent! Oh, speaking of which, I better conclude this show!" Twilight exclaims, smiling as she heads back to the stage to finish his show.

Back on stage, Spike smiles as he begins to do the commercial, "The House of Pony dating instructions are courtesy of..."

We see a big being displayed as Spike continues his commercial, "Countess Coloratura's Guide to Romance!"

The first still shows Cadance defending Shining...who was covering his mouth towards a ghost that was giving a delightful chuckle.

"Yes, learn to avoid mistakes like trading your voice away to impress your lover!"

The next still shows the couple on a romantic boat ride.

"Helpful tips to create the mood for love!"

Shining and Cadance gave lovingly look to each other before the next still shows them kissing each other.

"As well as following Countess Coloratura's patented technique to find out what love is!"

Now we go back to the book, station in Rara's dressing room table.

"Yes, sire! Countess Coloratura's Guide to Romance, where dating is always better the Rara way!" Spike then spoke in a low voice, "The Rara way is not always the one though..."

The audience applauds as Twilight laughs while smiling, "Until next time, ponies! So long!"

Author's Note

Another episode down. What do you guys think? In the next episode, "Where's Ben Valorheart?', Ben himself goes down to the prop basement to get a surprise birthday present for Twilight, taking new recruit Starlight Glimmer and his half brother Strikespell to help him out. Upon realizing that Ben's gone and is now in the prop basement, without taking other new recruit Sunrburst who has mapped out the area where Starlight doesn't, the alicorn begins a search party of herself, Dragoking, Flash Sentry, Sunset Shimmer, and Sunburst to look for him and Starlight, leaving Rarity in charge. Would that be a mistake? Read, review and suggest!

Baby Flurry Heart is from the Season 6 premiere.

Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000105 EndHTML:0000122768 StartFragment:0000038384 EndFragment:0000122728

Things calm down since Shining and Cadance's date at the House of Pony. Cadance begins coming by every once in a while, and it was wonderful for both of them. Luckily, since that incident, Twilight and the others kept out of their way whenever they're dating and need privacy.

Sometime later, Twilight and her friends have recruited new staff members into the House of Pony: Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst, Twilight Sparkle's student and her boyfriend. Starlight works out in being a waitress alongside Pinkie and Fluttershy, while Sunburst stays up front often to help out in greeting the guests with Rainbow and Rarity.

The two got used to their new jobs to the point of being good works: Sunburst helped out in mapping the whole entirely of the prop basement below. So whenever Twilight or her friends wanted to go down there for something, he is always there to help them out...

Of course, there was one show. Rainbow was out training with the Wonderbolts while Fluttershy was helping her animal friends at their new shelter home. As for Pinkie? Who knows? Plus, Shadow Dragon (the PM version) was unavailable. Luckily, Ben's best friend Flash Sentry and his girlfriend Sunset Shimmer was available to help out fill in for those jobs for a while.

But on to the fortunate part: somepony went down to the prop basement...taking not only the wrong pony with them but someone who he has a bit of rivalry with, even if both are related by blood...

Spike smiles as he begins the announcement, "And now, see the fun-filled antics of Lauren Faust's famous creations, one of them anyway, TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"

The audience applauds as Twilight gallop onto the stage. With a smile, she spoke, "Hey, everypony! Welcome to...." But the Alicorn was cut off as most of the lights in the area, especially the spotlight one, were off. "What the hay? Hey, what happened to the lights???"

"Who, who, who, who?" Twilight's owl Owlowiscious spoke repeatedly at the seating area.

"The one who turn...oh, now, Owlosicious!"

"I kinda like the dark." Grogar spoke out at his table with a smirk. Of course, he is still scared of the dark, but the villain has since conquered his fear of it.

"I don't." Marble Pie mumbles as she shivers at the dark trees (from the Season 1 second part) frightfully.

"Hee hee, sorry, folks. We may have some minor difficulties. No worries, I will be back soon." Twilight apologized sheepishly. She left the stage to the backstage, seeing someone who she believes to be Ben. "Ben! Hey, did you forgot to ask AJ to cue the lights? What's wr..."

Twilight stopped as she saw, to her surprise, that the figure that she thought was her coltfriend wasn't Ben. The one standing there was Flash, wearing a copy of Ben's scarf, having a faux Triforce cutie mark sign on her flank as well as a faux brown mane and tail. The stallion turned to her, giving a sheepish smile to his friend.

"Wait, Flash?" Twilight ask, shaking her head in shock.

"Hey, Twilight!" Flash said with a shrug as Dragoking came backstage, obviously looking for Ben. The Hydragoon is still ticked off for what happened last episode.

"Err, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, filling in for Ben until he gets back. So whatcha think of my look?"

"Yeah, very cute. You look just like Ben." Twilight said. Dragoking, hearing this, glares at "Ben" and growls. "No, no, Dragoking! That isn't the real Ben, it's just Flash!"

Dragoking growls, grunting a bit as he sniffs the nervous Pegasus. Then the Hydragoon shakes his head and continues his search for the one who wronged him.

"So where is Ben anyway?" Twilight ask as she looks around in concern. "We don't have any special acts planned for today."

"Oh, no worries. Ben will be back soon, I'm sure of it. I'm sure he's just rummaging around in the prop basement, trying to find you a nice birthday surprise for you." Flash said happily. Dragoking, hearing that, groans as he slaps his forehead with his claw.

"Uh, birthday surprise?"

"Oh, well, today is your birthday after all!"

"Oh my gosh! It's my birthday already?!" Twilight gasps in shock and alarm. The mare was so busy lately that she has forgotten about her birthday until now! "Oh man, how could I forget already?!"

"But don't tell yourself that Ben went to get your birthday surprise. Otherwise, you may ruin it for yourself." Flash said with a happy smile. Dragoking just rolls his eyes while sighing. Too late for that!

"Okkkkay....wait, where did you say Ben was getting my surprise present again?"

"Oh, in the prop basement."

"Prop Basement?!" Twilight yelps as she looks towards the direction of the basement. "The same place where we put the props from our past episodes and fan-fictions, future fan-fictions that didn't happened yet, as well as props from past generations of My Little Pony from Gen to the previous one with the pretty ponies?! THAT prop basement?!"

"Yep, same place." Flash remarks with a shrug, causing Twilight to groan. The prop basement is so big, one can get lost in it for years without knowing how to get through it.

"Oh great! Ben must be lost down there, like everyone is when they go down..." Twilight pauses a bit, then realizes something, making her smile. "...unless he takes Sunburst with him! Yeah! That unicorn may be new here, but he mapped the whole basement and knows his way around! Sunburst can zip right down and go back up whenever we need something down there! Yeah! Ben must've taken Sunburst with him, right?"

"I'll check." Flash said as he takes out a walkie and pushes a button to speak into it. "Hey, Sunburst! How fast can you get over to the backstage area?"

"Uh, I'm here right now." A familiar unicorn said as he arrives on the scene with a smile. "What can I do you for?"

"Oh, well, Twilight here wanted to know if you went with Ben to the prop basement."

"Well, no, not really. But I do recall Ben taking Starlight downstairs with him a few moments ago."

"Wait, what?! He took Starlight with him?!" Twilight's eyes widened in alarm as she gasps. "But Starlight hasn't mapped the area yet! Hay, she couldn't even find her away around the castle! Oh, what could be worst?"

"Oh, did I mentioned Ben also took Strikespell with him?" Sunburst added, making Twilight more worried. Not good, Ben and Strikespell may be half-brothers but they aren't actually the best of friends.

"Not good. Flash, get Sunset and Rarity over here now. We got to make a game plan."

"So what is this game plan?"

Unless Ben, Starlight and Strikespell get back here in 10 minutes, we're going on a rescue mission." Twilight said seriously. Who knows what trouble those mentioned three would get down there?

At this moment all the way downstairs, we see a box marked "Flim and Flam's Robots", near a set piece of the Everfree Forest, past the Midnight Castle props for the Rescue at Midnight Castle pilot, a little to the left of the set piece for the town from "My Little Pony Tales", as well as deep in woods set up for Camp Everfree, the mentioned trio saw some signs nearby.

"All right, Starlight, any idea where to go to next?" Ben ask Starlight curiously and a bit impatiently.

"Well, so far we have gone "this way" and "that way"...so we need to go "yonder"." Starlight said as she points a hoof at the direction of the third sign. "I don't imagined that the humans from the EQG World would have signs like that."

"Who knows with those humans."

"I still say we should've taken Sunburst with us." Strikespell said to his half-brother dryly, causing Ben to frown deeply at him. "You never seem to think these through."

"At least, I'm giving Starlight a chance. Come on." Ben said as he, Starlight and Strikespell headed onward. Twilight's student walks down locations as the group moves onward.

Starlight is mapping out the area now. At least this time, she will know her way around!

Returning to the backstage area, Twilight, Sunset, Flash (still in the Ben outfit), Dragoking, Rarity and Sunburst gathers around to listen to the princess explaining, "And that's the gist of it. Now, we'll wait until the first cartoon is over. If Ben, Strikespell and Starlight aren't back by then, most of us will have to go down there to rescue them."

"Okay. I'll go and get the rescue gear!" Flash said as he goes over to a nearby closet and open the door...just in time to see a big backpack about to fall out. "Huh? What the..?"

A giant pile of rescue gears fall on him to the ground. He groaned in pain while muffling, "Ouch. Sure wish I have Pinkie Sense."

Twilight sighed, "Sunset, Sunburst, help Flash out. I'll introduce the cartoon. And when we begin rescuing my boyfriend, I don't want any of us get lost. And more importantly, no eating Ben, Dragoking. Understand?"

Dragoking groaned and muttered, "No eating. Unbelievable..."

Sunset Shimmer groaned and grunted as she struggled in getting Flash Sentry out from rescue gear.

Sunset grunted, "Boy, you sure know how to pick a time of getting stuck!"

Flash Sentry groaned, "Not my fault..."

Rarity pause, smirking as if having an idea. She raises a hoof to speak, "Twilight darling, who will be in ch..."

"Hold that thought, Rarity." Twilight then slid back to the backstage which is now all lit up by now. The folks applauds as she speaks, "All right, everypony! Here's a cartoon which we just lost...AND now found!"

As everyone applaud some more, the big cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A TWILIGHT SPARKLE, RAINBOW DASH AND PINKIE PIE CARTOON

Twilight Sparkle and the Color Caper

All was peaceful in Ponyville. Inside her cottage, Fluttershy was yawning as he prepares to get to sleep for the night. The yellow Pegasus pony sighs as she gets himself comfortable.

But as Fluttershy prepares to sleep, she is unaware that a shadowy figure was lurking...making an ear-splitting sound which woke her up.

"What? Who's there?!" Fluttershy yelps as she looks around. The shadowy figure disappeared just as she turns the light back on.

Fluttershy looks horrified as she looks around. Her room...and she looks at herself in horror. All the color is gone, including herself! To make matters worse, her animal friends came in, all of their colors are gone too!

"Oh dear, where's the color go?" Fluttershy ask in fright as she screams a bit.

Fluttershy goes to the window with the animals. The mare gasps as the whole area has just turned black and white. There's no color to be found at all!

Now, at this moment, Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie were in their building on their new job for this month, changing their occupation every month per usual. This month, they were running a lost and found.

Inside the building, the phone rang as the trio digs around through the boxes like mad. Twilight exclaims, "Where the hay is that phone?!"

"Hoo boy, I think I lost it!" Pinkie yelps as she tossed out stuff, Rainbow has to move to avoid being hit by them. The Pegauss pony yelps as she catch a trophy and almost tripped over a cord, much to the mare's notice.

"Hey, I think I found something!"

Twilight grabs the cable to follow it. Sure enough, there's the phone, right in Pinkie's mane!

The pink pony, noticing, giggles as she exclaims, "Wow! I thought I heard ringing in my ears!"

Twilight rolls her eyes as she pulls the phone out of her friend's mane as she answers it, "Hey! Equestrian Lost and Found! If we cannot find it, it isn't lost!" However, to the mare's notice, the phone hung up by itself. "Hello, hello? I guess we must've lost the connection."

Just then, a knock is heard at the door. The trio answers, "Come in!" As the door opens up, the trio are surprised to see Mayor Mare coming in, colorless.

"Mayor Mare! Hey, you look different. Did you do something with your mane?"

"Princess Twilight Sparkle! Everyone in Ponyville needs your help in finding something!" Mayor Mare exclaims to the trio in worry.

"Well, this is a Lost and Found so you came to the right place, Mayor." Twilight said with a smile, although she is still puzzled by the mayor's black and white look. "What do you need finding?"

"All the color!"

"Uh, come again?"

"I mean, look!" The Mayor exclaims as she pushes buttons on a nearby machine to activate the monitor. Twilight is startled as she spotted images of Ponyville, Canterlot, Cloudsdale, etc. are in black and white, the folks are confused by what happened. "It's happening all over the place! Almost every city in Equestria has turned black and white, and Princesses Celestia and Luna lost their color, and can't use their magic get it back! So far, this area is the only one not effected yet. You got to help find where all the color has done."

"Well, no worries, Mayor! Rainbow, Pinkie and I will find those lost colors! Right, girls?" Twilight assures the Mayor as she turns to her friends...who appeared to be missing from the room. "Girls? Well, as soon as I find them, we will be right on the case!"

It didn't take long for Twilight to find her friends. Pinkie somehow got herself and Rainbow trapped in a pile of junk. Once the Alicorn filled the two in, they head out of the building with their magnifying glasses to begin searching for something unusual...they failed to see a weird looking car pulled up, making the ear-splitting sound as the color in the area begins to disappear from sight.

Twilight's group stills fail to notice the color disappearing from behind them. As they got on the road, the car pulled up, causing the girls to run into it.

"Hey, excuse me! The light was green, pal!" Twilight snaps to the driver of the car in annoyance. The light for the ponies trotting is green so they got the right away!

"Err, you mean grey, right?" Pinkie ask uneasily as she looks up.

"Grey?"

Twilight chose this time to look up and gasp in alarm. Pinkie's right, the spotlights has indeed turned black and white. In fact, as the heroines looks around, the whole area is in black and white now!

"Oh man, not good, not good!" Rainbow exclaims in shock.

"All the color is gone except for us! Who is responsible for this?!" Twilight demanded. Sure enough, the driver rolls his window down to reveal himself to be a familiar red lipstick of a white make-up Earth Pony with a greenish spiky mane and short tail, wearing a white shirt, purple pants, and a purple suit. Upon seeing him, the Alicorn frowns in recognization. "Psychopath Joke! Of course, I should've known! You're the one who is taking away all the color!"

"Right, and you're next!" Psychopath Joke laughs madly as he took out a gun, aiming it right at the trio.

"Look out, girls!"

The trio tries to make a run for it, but it's too late. Psychopath Joke zaps the trio and sucks all the color out of them. To Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie's horror, they are all now in black and white.

"Ha ha ha ha! Joke's on you, girls! Well, as much as I would love to stay and chat, I must get going now. Here's an idea: get lost and don't come back!" Psychopath Joke taunted as he made a portal to the Dark Mystics Realm appear and drove into it as it closes behind himself.

Our heroines, now colorless, looks shocked and around before sighing, it looks like Psychopath Joke has won.

"Oh, let's face. We're lost and founders. We're losers." Pinkie said sadly as her mane flattens a bit.

Twilight pauses, then smiles as she spoke, "Girls, let's not give up yet, we're not losers! All we got to do is find Psychopath Joke's hideout! There's still a chance to get all the color back!"

"But how can we find it? The Dark Mystics' place is like a big maze!"

Fortunately, the princess has an idea as she and her friends rushed back to the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom castle, which is now black and white. Regardless, the mare pulls out a book from her library which has the addresses of every Dark Mystics that Equestria has ever face.

"Let's see...Dark Curse, evil Shadow Dragon, Tech...ah, here it is! Psychopath Joke!" Twilight exclaims, finding the address for the villain in question. "He lives at Psychopath's Hideout Road!â€

"Oh yeah!" Rainbow exclaims as Twilight uses her magic to make a portal to the Dark Mystics Realm open. "Time to kick some flank!"

The trio heads into the portal, there's no time to lose!

Psychopath Joke has taken every from Equestria...except for the Dark Mystics Realm, but that's mainly because Dark Curse threaten to skin him alive if he tries to take the color from their world. In his hideout, the evil clown pony smiles insanely at a large paint machine which held every color in Equestria.

"Ooooh, yes. All the color of Equestria is now mine!" Psychopath Joke laughs as he goes towards the bottom floor where the main machine's part was pointing towards the ground. "Shame my faithful assistant isn't here and on her day off. Oh well..."

Of course, the evil villain didn't know that outside, our heroines were climbing up to the top floor of his hideout, trying to sneak in. Twilight gave the signal of all clear as her friends quickly joined her. Upon doing so, the trio sneaks around for a moment until their leader found what appears to be an open window.

Twilight signals Rainbow as the two begins to try to open the window, but to no little success. Even Twilight's magic can't open this window! The mares groaned, looks like this is taking forever. Of course, the two then looks up and their eyes widened upon seeing a surprising sight: there's Pinkie waving from inside the building! How did she get in???

The confused mares saw a door with the obvious sign marked "SECRET INTRUDER ENTRANCE" which has been opened. Twilight and Rainbow rolls their eyes, but shrugs it off as they rushes in to join Pinkie. Their friend can so random!

As the heroines snick in, they watch as Psychopath Joke is looking at a picture while speaking, "Yes, for a long time, I wore the same old colors while everypony else looks brighter and more better than me. Well, that will end today! Soon, all of Equestria will live out their days in black and white while I will be the only colorful character ever! All will called me...PSYCHOPATH RAINBOW!!!"

With a mad laugh, Psychopath Joke flips the switch as the laser that is pointing at his head begins to activate. As the girls watch on, all the paint dissolved from inside the machine, and soon the clown begins turning from his normal self into a rainbow colored pony!

Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie nodded as they hopped/flew down. They got to put a stop to this mad scheme!

"Oooh, yes, my plan has come through with flying colors!" Psychopath Joke chuckles as he looks at himself in amazement. "Ha, I could get used to this!"

"Not a chance, Psychopath Joke!" A familiar voice exclaims. The villainous clown looks up and growls upon seeing his determined enemies looking at him from the first level floor. Twilight continues, "We will be taking the rightful colors back now!"

"Well, well, the Lost and Found!" Psychopath Joke sneers as he begins to climb up the ladder to get to the first floor. "After I get done with you trio, you will be what you really are...LOST AND NEVER FOUND!"

Once Psychopath reached the same level as the girls, he points his hoof to fire a laser at the girls. Twilight and Pinkie moves out of the way in time, but Rainbow got hit by the laser. To her shock, the mare is now completely covered in purple, which makes her faint to the floor.

Twilight then begins to fly around and kicks Psychopath Joke in the flank. Angrily, the evil clown turns and begins shooting rainbow lasers like mad. The Alicorn flew around as Pinkie watches on in worry. Twilight flew around, doing so well in dodging...until a lucky shot hits the princess, coloring her blue as she is sending right into the control area.

Psychopath Joke jumps down, smirking wickedly. He is going to win this time!

"Eeek, we're losing!" Pinkie up above panics as she gallops around in worry. "What should I do? What should I do?"

Luckily for our favorite random pony, she came into luck as she accidentally tripped on Rainbow still unconscious (and purple), sending her falling over the railing screaming. Pinkie sure enough pulls a switch at the bottom which causes a word to light up: REVERSE! And that starts the machine up all over!

Psychopath Joke not realizing what is about to happen trots over to the horrified Twilight...standing in the exact spot where he got his powers from. The evil clown gave an insane smile as the powerful being remarks while taking out the color gun, "Hmmm, actually, I think you will do better in black and white...and your blood will too!" Psychopath Joke laughs as he prepares to make do on his threat. But then, to his confusion, the laser hits him. "Hey, what's going on?!"

Twilight gave a smirk as the villain dropped his color gun. The reason? All the color that he stole is disappearing from his body, going back into the paint canisters as Psychopath Joke is going back to his normal self.

Twilight grabs the color gun, taunting, "Well, we're seeing your true colors now, Psychopath Joke!"

"No, my colors, my beautiful colors!" Psychopath Joke cries in horror as the machine begins to shake as the paint drips like mad. Rainbow waits up as she yelps, the machine was about to blow up! She joins her pal who noticed as they rushes off to the exit. Psychopath Joke, watching the heroines escaping, groans out, "Well, color me foiled..."

Sure enough, the whole hideout blows up in a huge color phenomenon...and just as a portal opens up magically as it is send out back into Equestria. Looks like the world, somehow sensing what's going on, is about to get its color back!

Twilight, now painted red and green, grins as she turns to speak to Pinkie, now painted purple and yellow, "Well, Pinkie. Got to hand it to you. You finally lost something that helped us out!"

"I did? What did I lose?" Pinkie ask Twilight curiously.

"You lost your balance! Hee hee!"

"Well, hooray for me, I'm a loser after all!"

Rainbow, now painted lavender with pink stripes, spoke up, "Well, we got to help the princesses clean up Equestria and return everything to its right color. And ourselves too! I preferred my cool awesome look!"

"Right, and while we do that, we may as well captured..." Twilight spoke as she held up the color gun, looking around at the hideout's ruins. "Wait, hang on! Psychopath Joke's gone!"

"Uh oh." Pinkie gulps a bit worried and scared. "He must've escaped!"

"I got a weird feeling that this isn't the last we will see of him..."

It took a lot of work, but soon, almost all the colors in Equestria were back to their rightful ponies. Even Twilight's group has gotten their colors back, and everypony breathes a sigh of relief.

The trio arrives at Fluttershy's cottage, the last place that needed to be colored in. Twilight knocks on the door as she calls out, "Fluttershy! We got your and the animals' colors back!"

Fluttershy opens the door, smiling as she spoke, "Oh, thank goodness. Can you color us in, please?"

Twilight uses the color gun to zapped Fluttershy and the animals. The animals yelps in confusion and are surprised that their own colors are back. Fluttershy smiles happily as her usual color is back to normal.

"Well, that cares of that." Rainbow remarks with a shrug. "Now..."

"Uh, Twilight?" A familiar voice spoke as everyone turns. To their surprise, Celestia now has moderate cyan eyes, a moderate cobalt blue mane, and a light dark sapphire blue coat. Twilight's former teacher spoke awkwardly, "I think there was a mistake in the color restoring progress."

Sure enough, the girls now saw Luna who now has a white fur coat and a light blue/green, and purple mane and tail. She groans out, "This is embarrassing."

"Uh, oops." Twilight said with a sheepish smile.

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is over, the audience applauds. Another good one. Even Psychopath Joke in the audience was applauding as Fluttershy gave him to serve him a drink which he drank a bit.

Pinkamena pauses at her table as she spoke, "I have the strangest feeling things will be more different this time."

"How so Little Sister?" Golden Heart ask Pinkamena curiously.

"Just wait and see, Big Brother."

In the basement, Ben's group is still looking around for a present with no success.

"Brilliant idea. Give Starlight a chance while we get lost!" Strikespell mumbles to Ben in annoyance. "I knew we should have brought Sunburst. But always go with soft spot than the head."

"Hey! At least, I try to give people some chances!" Ben exclaims to his half-brother in irritation.

"It's no wonder House of Pony got a few problems. Because of you!"

"Watch it! I've done this plenty of my times! I've got more experience than you are! I got heart too!"

Strikespell just scoffs at this, "No brains means stupid that's what you're trying to say. That's exactly what you are!"

"Wanna mess with me again?!" Ben scowls, preparing to kick Strikespell's flank. He isn't afraid to do so!

"Oh you bet! You little brat!"

"Cut it out! As if my team didn't give me enough headaches, you two are the worse." Starlight exclaims in annoyance at the two bickering brothers. "So, put your attitude aside now!"

"Fine..." Ben and Strikespell groans as the trio moves onward on the mission.

In the backstage, the rescue group (with Flash now wearing a backpack and explorer's gear) were getting ready. Twilight spoke, "Okay, Ben, Starlight and Strikespell are still not back. We better get down there to rescue them."

"Yeah, I'm all set! Got everything we need right here!" Flash exclaims proudly as he patted his backpack. Unfortunately, that resulted in him falling on his back like the turtle, the backpack is on the bottom of his said back.

Rarity came over, coughing as she speaks, "Uh, Twilight, darling? I wanted to ask you. If it's all right, perhaps I could run the show for a while. At least until you get back with Ben, Starlight and Strikespell, yes?"

"Well...I suppose I could." Twilight said in hesitation. She isn't sure if it's a good idea to do this, but the show needs to be kept going as the search happens. "At least promise me that...."

"Twilight, I promise I won't let you down! I can keep the audience entertained. Nothing could go wrong?"

"...that you won't book any acts, right. I think you've got it covered." Twilight finished as Rarity begins to go off. The princess smiles a bit. Perhaps she shouldn't worry, Rarity wouldn't do something crazy. The mare gallops off to the others as she spoke, "Time to get going, everypony! Operation: Find Ben, Strikespell and Starlight begins!"

"Err, you still think it's a good idea to trust Rarity on this?" Sunburst ask Twilight uneasily as the five heads down to the basement door.

"Relax. The show will be fine. Come on! Oh, and Dragoking? Before we go, no more eating Ben! We're gonna be there to find and get Ben out. Understand?"

Dragoking groaned, "Fine..."

The group begins heading into the basement. Flash is the last go in but he is having trouble doing so at first due to the gear he packed. Eventually though, the Pegasus pony got inside by ducking through the door.

As the group arrives in the basement, Twilight led all of them as she orders, "All right, everypony. Remember, it's easy to get lost in here, so stick together, no matter what. Okay?"

"Stick together. Let me make a note." Flash said. He stopped to take out a notepad as he begins to write down. "'Stick together, I.E. No matter what...'" However, as he looks up, the Pegasus pony looks alarmed: the others are gone. "Wait, where am I?! I'M LOST! Okay, okay, I'm prepared."

Flash didn't waste time in unpacking the rescue gear, which consisted of a hammock attached to two tikis, a campfire tent, a makeshift shower with a water tower and barrel, a canoe, a campfire, a picnic basket, a lounge chair and umbrella, and a glass of apple cider.

"All right, now to wait until I'm rescued." Flash said as he hops into his hammock, smiling as he begins to enjoy his drink...

...much to the disbelief of Twilight, Sunset, Dragoking and Sunburst who weren't even that far away from their frown. Sunburst shakes his head as he sighs, "Really? Flash!"

"Wow, you guys found me! I was worried that I wouldn't be rescued!"

"Come on, you lunk head!" Sunset scowls as she uses her magic to grab her colt friend and drags him off. "We're on a rescue mission here."

Twilight's group continues on their search, going past the flower from the Gen 3 era. Ben and his own group has to have to be here, somewhere!

Suddenly at this time, music began to be played as three Breezies in the flower suddenly leaped out to appear. They were Tiddly Wink, Tra La La and Zipzee from the Gen 3 era.

Tiddly Wink: Hey Girl, have you seen him?

Tra La La: Where's Ben gonna get you?

Tiddly Wink: I thought he be here by now

Zipzee: Yeah, the party's no fun without Ben Valorheart

We focus back on the search party as they continue to perform their search as they came out dress as Diamond Dogs mining for gems.

Tiddly Wink: Ahhh! Is he here, is he here?
Is Ben here?
When Ben walks in, then the fun begins

Next scene shows Twilight swinging across a rope off a familiar temple from Daring Do to land near stone gargoyle versions of the alicorn's search party members.

The place is humming, trumping, waiting for him
When he's gonna come in

Backup Singers: We all adore him!

Male Singers: Ben Valorheart, Ben Valorheart, Ben Valorheart, In The House

The scene shows that as Twilight's search party continues across a log with a full moon in the background, they get turn into Gen 1 versions of themselves. Soon the Breezies appeared to lift the screen to change location.

Tiddly Wink: Now Ben's here, it's a stallion house party
And if he went away, we really miss him!

As the search party searched some trunks for anything useful, Twilight pulled up a magic mirror. When that mirror was magically about to reveal where someoneâ€™s location & what they are doing was about to occurâ€¦it showed the words: OUT OF ORDER, which left someone sad the thing was not working.

The dance floor is his heart & soul territory
That's his story of Ben Valorheart

As the scene was flip over to a large rock hill where Sunset lifted Twilight up to get a better view of the whole area as if done from a movie.

Backup Singers: Ben Valorheart.

Tiddly Wink: In the house

Backup Singers: In the house!

As the Breezies sang their number, they pulled two sliders to change the scene to where Twilightâ€™s search party continues their search.

Male Singers: Ben Valorheart, Ben Valorheart, Ben Valorheart is in the house, Ben Valorheart, Ben Valorheart, Ben Valorheart in the house

Zipzee: Oh you know it!

Now back with Ben's group. They were looking around when Starlight looks up from the map she was drawing, looking puzzled as she ask, "Hey, you two hear something just now?"

"Not really, I didn't hear a thing." Ben said, puzzled as he has no idea what Starlight is talking about.

"Then again, in this place, you got to expect something weird to happen." Strikespell added with a shrug.

Sure enough, Lorcan appears nearby, remarking dryly, "Yep. Still down here. Waiting for the 'AU Lorcan's Wrath'."

"Lorcan, you're a guest, not a prop, there's no reason for you to be down here." Ben sighs to Lorcan as he came over. "Besides, Twilight has forgiven you already."

"Oh sure, you say that now, but thanks to the reboot, she probably doesn't remember me anymore."

"I'm sure the author regretted what happened! Now, go back upstairs and we will talk about this later."

Lorcan shrugs as he heads on off. Strikespell groans, "This is ridiculous! We must've search every nook and cranky of this basement and still haven't found a birthday present for Twilight! You should've let me do this."

"Wait, what's that over there?" Starlight ask as she notices something. "You think that could be good?"

Ben turns and saw that Starlight is pointing towards a chest with familiar six keyholes in it. He smiles and trots over as he spoke, "Starlight! You're a genius! This is perfect!"

"Say, isn't that the Chest of Harmony from when Twilight and her friends has gotten the Rainbow Power?" Strikespell ask as he looks at the box carefully.

"Yeah, still is. Twilight and her friends opened it, getting the power needed to stop Lord Tirek. It can still be open and still got some magic and power inside."

Ben opens the Chest of Harmony. To his and the other two's amazement, some magic came out of the chest, exploding in wonderful firecracker noise. Starlight gave a smile as she said, "Wow, this is amazing when Twilight told me about it!"

Of course, what Ben and his group didn't know is that Twilight's group are close nearby, climbing up obstacles. Flash sighs, "Wow, Ben sure is good at getting lost. He does that to avoid Boris and his goons when we know him."

"Ben's here somewhere, I just know it!" Twilight exclaims. Dragoking roars as he motions his head upward. "Hey, what are you looking..."

The others look up and saw what Dragoking is seeing: fireworks in the guy. Sunburst frowns as he ask, "Who in the world would send off fireworks inside a building?"

"Wait a minute. Now I remember, of course!"

"Huh?" The others ask, puzzled by Twilight's exclamation.

"That's where the Chest of Harmony is at, which can still be opened to send out fireworks and magic!" Twilight exclaims eagerly as she claps her hooves. "Ben must've opened the chest as a sign to help us find him!"

"Are you sure about that?" Sunburst begins to ask, a bit concerned and wondering if the mare was right.

"No time to lose, come on!"

Twilight gallops towards the area where the chest's at. Flash, Sunset, Sunburst and Dragoking do their best to follow the Princess of Friendship. Hopefully she's right!

At this moment upstairs in the staging area, Rarity trots onto the stage, smiling to the audience as she spoke, "Hello, darlings! Now, normally at this point, we would show another cartoon right now...but before we do, I am delighted to inform you that after this cartoon will be an act which is written and is starring someone who has been hoping to get on stage for a long time! And you won't believe who is going to be in it!"

"Yeah, me!" Dr. Lizardo exclaims as he peeks behind a curtain nearby eagerly. After all this time, the villain is finally getting his chance to sing!

"And what did I tell you?" Pinkamena told Golden Heart with an amusing look. "Something different will happen."

"I guess so. So tell me little sister, are your senses telling you what will happen next?" Golden Heart ask Pinkamena curiously.

"Well Big Brother, I will just say this, it will be something that will shake the house. Just wait and see."

"Ugh! Quit torturing us and show the cartoon already!" Blueblood groans out in irritation at his table.

Kibitz held his head while groaning, "Honestly, even when I was under Accord's spell, I didn't feel this much torture!"

"Oh sure, try to change yourself on time and you're branded for life!" Discord exclaims in annoyance to Kibitz at this own table. No one ever let him live it down!

"Fine, I'm done. But after this cartoon, it's Dr. Lizardo's act." Rarity remarks with a shrug, knowing that she shouldn't keep the audience waiting any longer.

The audience gave an uncomfortable round of applause as the last cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A RAINBOW DASH CARTOON

Rainbow's Pool

Yes, sir. It is another bright sunny day in Ponyville. Rainbow, Starlight and Applejack are working at the community pool for at least a week. They get a little bit of pay as long as ponies followed the rules.

"Hoo doggy, glad to see ponies having fun at that there pool." Applejack said, smiling as she relaxes in her high chair.

"You betcha! I'm glad Twilight allowed me to do some work to make sure that ponies are safe here." Starlight said with a smile. "And having fun! Right, Rainbow?"

Rainbow was sleeping...until she jumps out and pulled out a whistle, yelling, "HEY, HEY! NO HORSING AROUND!"

Dr. Hooves was balancing himself on a bit but only to stop short to stare in shock and confusion. The pony protests, "But I'm a pony!"

"Do I care? Hey, no dog paddling!"

Applejack's dog Winona kayaking in the water with a paddle, causing her to stop short and give a look of confusion.

"Err, you sure that was nice?" Applejack ask Rainbow in concern. "Winona was having fun, in a odd kinda way, and...

"NO CHICKEN FIGHTS, YOU TWO!" Rainbow snaps at two chickens boxing in a corner while standing on two other chickens in annoyance, causing them to stop and cluck in surprise. "Anyway, you were having, Ap...HEY, NO CANNONBALLS!"

Mosamite Sam was about to fire a cannonball into the pool, only to stop to give a look a shock to the mare. Applejack groans out, "Dang it, Rainbow! Was that even necessary or fun?"

"Of course! I gotta take this job seriously! I mean, haven't you even read the rules?"

"Of course." Starlight rolls her eyes as she motions to the sight nearby. "'No running, splashing, jumping, laughing, eating, no fishing, parking, smoking, swimming, crying, whining, asking mommy for anything because you just as, and Timmy, stop hitting your sister, and positively having NO fun whatever! Nope, forget it, don't ask! So have a nice day, the management'. But seriously? Are those even rules that you wanna go by?"

"Nah, not really." Rainbow remarks with a shrug as she lies in her chair. "But as long as they followed them, I can get some rest and no pony can bother me!"

"Oh, Rainbow Dash!" A familiar voice spoke out, causing Rainbow to yelp in alarm as she and her friends turned to see two ponies trotting up to them. One of them, the one who spoke, has purple fur, a pink mane and tail, green eyes, and her cutie mark has three pink flowers. "Nice to see you again!"

"Yeah, hee hee, having fun!" The other pony spoke as she begins to laugh. It is a foal with pink fur, a yellow, orange and dark pink mane, a blue, purple and green tail, blue eyes, and a cutie mark that is a heart with a rainbow swirl.

"Oh no! The other Cheerilee and Princess Rarity!" Rainbow groans to Applejack and Starlight in annoyance.

Now, before you folks ask, let me explain. This isn't the teacher Cheerilee and the fashion pony Rarity that you know of. No, these two versions are from Unicornia, near another version of Ponyville somewhere in the northwest who the heroines of Ponyville has met up. And this isn't the first time that our Rainbow had met them.

You see, Rainbow was working at a local photography shop which Gen 3 Cheerilee took Princess Rarity to have her photo taken, and the Pegasus pony was given the task to taking the little unicorn's photo while her teacher was busy. Unfortunately, long story short, the mischievous Rarity wouldn't cooperate and Rainbow was trying her best to take her picture. She manages to succeed in doing so after a few minor difficulties. And after all that trouble, the Pegasus was hoping that would be a one-time thing and she wouldn't see that Rarity again.

So much for that hope!

Applejack grins, unaware of the likely trouble ahead, as she spoke, "Howdy Gen 3 Cheerilee! What brings you here today?"

"Well, I'm taking little Rarity here for her first time here at the pool." Gen 3 Cheerilee explains to the trio with a chuckle

"Great, sounds awesome, hope you have a great day." Rainbow said with a nervous smile as she backs up a bit. "Listen, I'm about to go on break, so..."

"Actually, I was wondering if you three can do me a favor. I'm planning on doing some sun bathing alone, and I need somepony to keep an eye on Princess Rarity while she's in the wading pool. Can you do that for me?"

Rainbow gave a nervous look, preparing to say no. Starlighnt spoke up, "Listen, Miss Cheerilee. We would love to do so..."

"Oh, that's great, she's in your hooves!" Gen 3 Cheerilee interrupts before Starlight could finish as Princess Rarity pulls on Rainbow's tail, much to her discomfort. "Now, she's only in the wading pool, because she's still a little foal after all and I'm worried she may get hurt! So I'm counting on you to make sure she's safe! Understand?"

"Oh, sure. You can count on us." Rainbow said, groaning in comfort while giving a nervous smile.

"Wonderful! I will check on Princess Rarity in a few minutes!"

With that, Gen 3 Cheerilee trots off, leaving the trio to look at each other, while glancing at Princess Rarity who was laughing happily. This may be a mistake!

Princess Rarity was laughing, splashing around in the wading pool, having fun despite the rules saying not to in an inner tube. The life guards watch through their binoculars.

"All right, as long as she stays in the wading pool, we shouldn't panicked." Rainbow said hopefully as she kept her eye on Princess Rarity.

"Come on, I don't see why she be a problem." Applejack said to Rainbow, not sure why her friend would panick.

"Right, I'm sure she will be all right." Starlight said in agreement. "There isn't any reason to panic."

Perhaps her friends are right, maybe Princess Rarity won't be a problem this time. Time to see how the other guests are doing.

Rainbow turns her attention to Gen 3 Cheerilee who came out of the dressing room in a bathing suit, smiling as she prepares to sun bath. The Pegasus pony chuckles, "Man, she looks so silly in that outfit."

"Now, Rainbow, let's not poke fun at that Cheerilee." Applejack said sternly to Rainbow. "Anyway, we are supposed to keep eye on Princess Rarity, remember?"

"Say, where is she?" Starlight ask puzzled. The others turned to saw, to their shock, that Princess Rarity was no longer in the wading pool. "She was here a few seconds ago!"

"Oh horse feathers, look!"

The trio turns to the direction of the main pool. To their alarm, Princess Rarity was galloping towards it, preparing to dive in. But Rainbow flies up and grabs the little unicorn and takes her back to the wading pool.

"Whoa, whoa, hey little miniature crazy version of Rarity!" Rainbow exclaims in alarm. "You are supposed to stay in the wading pool, remember? You aren't old enough to handle the big pony stuff yet!"

"You're no fun!" Princess Rarity remarks with a frown as the life guard left. She waited until she's sure that no pony was looking then smirks mischievously. "Pool time!"

Princess Rarity begins to set up her inner tube and pulls it back then puts herself on it. She's about to fire herself towards the big pool...and fires!

But to her dismay, Starlight rose up from the pool to catch her in a hoofball mitt in time, remarking, "Nice try! But I am not getting into trouble with you!"

"Come on, let me in the big pool! I want to have fun!" Princess Rarity protests as Rainbow came over while the two came out of the pool. The two trots over with the protesting foal in Starlight's magic, "The big pool looks like fun!"

"Hey, look. Your teacher tell us to keep you in the wading pool." Rainbow said to Princess Rarity while shaking her head.

"Right. And further now..." Without warning, Starlight yelps as the mare somehow slipped out from her magic. "Hey! Rarity!"

Rainbow quickly grabs Princess Rarity by her swimming suit as she tries to gallop off, only for it to pull right off and right onto Rainbow's bottom somehow. Starlight couldn't help but snicker, to her friend's annoyance.

Princess Rarity laughs as she prepares to dive right into the pool, only for Rainbow to get ahead of her and got the pony into her swimming suit, grabbing her once more. The Pegasus smirks in triumph, but it didn't last long before she was standing on top of the water.

Rainbow yelps as she fell into the pool, keeping Princess Rarity up to allow Starlight to grab her.

While Rainbow was drying herself off, Applejack came over and took Princess Rarity back to the wading pool. As she puts her back in, the Earth pony said sternly, "Now stay put, sugah cube."

Applejack trots back to her chair. But unknown to her, Princess Rarity got out of the wading pool again and heads towards the pool. She gallops alongside the side of it, going towards the deepest end of the pool, which goes from '6 ft' to '12 ft' to 'Off The Deep End' to 'In Over Your Head' to 'Seapony Level'.

Applejack was about to sit down when she spotted the filly, causing her to gasp, "Gah! Great apples!"

The others turned to see Princess Rartity standing near the edge of the pool, making them yelp. She was about to jump in...but luckily, they show up in time with the cleaning pool net to grab her before plopping the mischievous foal back into the wading pool.

Princess Rarity laughs mischievously, preparing to climb out but the three ponies surrounded her. Rainbow groans out, "Listen, kid, we are nice ponies, but even we are losing our patience with you! Stay in the wading pool, got it?!"

"Right!" The two mares snapped as the trio heads off. Although, they turned back to glare at Princess Rarity who had climbed out, making her yelp and jumps back into the wading pool, giving an innocent smile.

"Much better. See, girls? You got to be stern with fillies like these!"

The trio sighs in relief. For a moment, it looks like Princess Rarity has gotten the message. The trio prepares to head off...but stopped upon hearing her giggling. They saw that the mischievous pony was now balancing herself on a pool rope that separates the deep ends of the pool...and she was now standing on a buoy!

"Whoa, hey, are you crazy?!" Rainbow yells out in alarm as Princess Rarity gave a taunting wave. "I can't believe this! One of us got to get her...NOT IT!"

"Not it!" Applejack exclaims quickly. Starlight blinks and groans in annoyance. Her friends always do this to make her do all the hard work!

"Aw horse feathers!" Starlight groans as she begins to balance on the rope carefully. "Maybe I could do this without magic. I mean, what are the odds that..."

At the same time however, Princess Rarity made a pair of scissors appear from out of nowhere and opens them up. The adult unicorn's eyes widened in shock as she aims the scissors at the rope! Starlight shakes her head rapidly...but Princess Rarity just laugh as she cut the rope with the scissors, causing Starlight to fall right into the pool!

"All right, time to dive!" Princess Rarity exclaims as she jumps up...only for Rainbow to appears and catch her in the inner tube. "Aw, nuts!"

As Applejack helps Starlight out of the pool, Rainbow scowls as she lands nearby, "Listen, I am having enough of you..."

"Uh oh! The other Cheerilee's coming!" Applejack exclaims in alarm. Sure enough, there's Gen 3 Cheerilee trotting right over.

Applejack grabs Princess Rarity from Rainbow and quickly puts her back into the wading pool. She gave an innocent smile as the teacher came over, smiling as she said, "Just coming over to see how Princess Rarity is doing. Gen 3 Cheerilee spots the little princess splashing around in the wading pool. "Ah, she's doing fine. Well, I am glad she's in good hooves."

"Right, precisely." Starlight said with a nervous smile. "So, you done with your sun bathing?"

"Oh, well, I only need a few more minutes. So make sure she stays in there, because I forgot to tell you: she can't swim."

"Yeah, right." Rainbow said with a groan. Why bring THAT up now? "Out of curiosity, and not saying it will, but what would happened if she was to walk out of that wading pool and goes into the big pool? And something bad happens to her?"

"Oh, we will sue you trio for foal endangerment and have you arrested." Gen 3 Cheerilee gave a stern look to the trio as they gasp in worry. But the unicorn smiles as she continues, "But I'm sure you wouldn't do that. So who am I to worry, right? I must go, I will be back in a few!"

Gen 3 Cheerilee trots off as the trio of girls gave a sigh of relief. Now they are now more determined to keep that silly foal in the wading pool at all times.

"Right, now we gotta keep an eye on..." Rainbow yelps as she and her friends saw that the wading pool is empty again! There's a note nearby. "What the hay?! Where is she now?!"

Applejack took the note and opens it, reading, "'Dear Miss Dash and Friends, while I admire your silly attempts to catch me, it will only end up leading to your own undoing. Sincerely, Princess Rarity. Giggle, ha some more. P.S. Look up'...aw, horse feathers!"

The mare's eyes widened in shock as they look up to see Princess Rarity...up high on the diving board and is jumping up and down like mad! They screamed in horror, if something bad happens to that foal, they're in deep trouble!

The three mares galloped up the stairs of the diving boards and climbs up the ladder. To their horror, Princess Rarity jumps off the diving board. But they calmed down as they see that she landed safely on a lower diving board.

"You two, surround the boards, she's mine!" Rainbow exclaims to her friends. The two nodded and climbs down the assume position. Rainbow jumps off the diving board to land on the one that Princess Rarity was on, sending the ponies upward. The two were in the air as she grabs her, snapping, "I got you now!"

Too bad Rainbow ends up getting her head hit by the bottom of a higher diving board. This made her release Princess Rainbow, causing the filly to land safely on the same diving board above. As she recovers, Rainbow landed on the diving board again, looking up to see Princess Rarity standing still.

With a smirk, Rainbow was about to grab Princess Rarity, only for her to pull out a couple of items, hitting the mare on the head every time she bounces up and down on the lower diving board. Rainbow cringes, preparing for the worst on the next jump. For a while, it looks like nothing happen, making her look...

Only for Princess Rarity to pull out a mallet and hit Rainbow on the head, sending her into the water. The filly giggles, "Silly life guard!"

Starlight with a frown climbs up the other diving board, she sees Princess Rarity waving to her on the left diving board. The unicorn jumps on the diving board and springs to the left. Unfortunately, the mischievous foal had the same idea as she jumps off the diving board, flying past her to her confusion.

The two went back and forth for a while, with one jump showing two Starlights jumping each other at the same time. How did that happened? No one knows! Anyway, both she and Princess Rarity were on the same diving board, jumping up and down in the air...only for the filly to stop jumping and for Starlight to fell right into the wading pool, making a crack inside that drains all the water out. Ouch!

Off the diving board, Princess Rarity laughs but saw Applejack trotting after her, causing the foal to ran up further. The Earth Pony yells, "Get back here, ya vermint!"

Applejack chases the filly all the way to the top, the two are now up on the highest diving board in Equestria! The cowpony yelps in alarm, the two were up so high, they could see the planet!

"Yeah, I can jump!" Princess Rarity giggles as she prepares to jump off the highest diving board.

"No, wait, no! Rarity, Cheerilee said you can't swim!" Applejack begged frantically. But no use! Princess Rarity finally jumped down for the most fun ever.

Applejack screams as she gallops somewhere as fast as possible! During this time as she fell down to what could be a possible watery grave, Princess Rarity kept herself busy by drinking pink lemonade, eating some candy, reading comics books, playing with a train, and sleeping until morning. Don't ask how this is possible!

Applejack manages to get to the bottom as her friends recovered. The Earth Pony yells out, "She's about to come down! Rainbow!"

Rainbow in a panic grabs a nearby inner tube and throws it into the water. Hopefully she will lands in it! And Princess Rarity...drove into the water past the inner tube, to the trio's horror!

"Oh no, not good, we're dead!" Rainbow exclaims in horror as she dives in to help.. Princess Rarity is going to drown for sure! But the Pegasus hits the inner tube and hits more of the water toys, bouncing off the diving board before she landed right back into the pool.

"What else could go wrong today?" Starlight gulps in fear.

"GUYS!" A familiar voice yells, much to the three's horror as they saw a surprised Gen 3 Cheerilee arriving.

"Gah! Wait, Miss Cheerilee! We can explain! We tried to get her away, but..."

"You realized what you three had done?"

"Uh, wait, this ain't all bad..." Applejack said nervously as she and her friends gulped in fear. No good, they're in trouble now...

"You taught Princess Rarity how to swim!" Gen 3 Cheerilee exclaims with a smile. The girls looked confused until they looked over. Sure enough, there's Princess Rarity swimming perfectly!

"Uh, we did?" Rainbow ask dumbstruck. Of course, her friends coughs, giving out nervous smiles. "Oh yeah, we did! Uh, amazing how awesome one can be when they can swim, right?"

"For a while, I was worried but I guess that's why you asked about the big pool! I was going to teach Princess Rarity how to swim, but I'm glad you've beaten me to it! I appreciate all you did for us!"

"Sure, no problem."

"Oh thank you so much!" Gen 3 Cheerilee exclaims happily as Rainbow pulls herself out of the pool. "You know what? I'm going to take Princess Rarity here every day for the rest of the summer!"

"Gah, no, not a chance! I done gotta get back to the farm!" Applejack exclaims frantically.

"Right, got some lessons to do, bye!" Starlight exclaims nervously as she and Applejack tries to take off...

But the two ends up getting hit by the fence somehow, which send them both back, crashing into Rainbow. All three are send flying into the water, sending them to the bottom of the pool. As if to add insult to injury, they looked annoyed as Princess Rarity swam by, giving a playful giggle at them.

"Aw, horse feathers!" The trio groans underwater. They hope this is the last time they see Princess Rarity for a while!

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon's over, the audience applauds eagerly. Another cartoon well done!

All the way back down in the prop basement, Ben's group watch the magic bursting out of the box still. Strikespell closes the box as he remarks, "Well, got to say, this was something."

"I know. And it will be the perfect birthday surprise for Twilight!" Ben exclaims with a smile. "Guys, how about giving me some help in carrying this box back upstairs?"

"No problem." Starlight said as she, after putting down a map that she was working on down, and Strikespell comes over, both are preparing to help Ben out.

"Ben!" A familiar voice calls out. The trio jumps in surprise as they see Twilight, Dragoking and Sunburst appearing, coming right over.

"Twilight!" Ben exclaims quickly as he hide the chest behind himself, giving a nervous smile. "Err, what are you doing here?"

"Thank Celestia we found you at last! Once we saw the fireworks, we started following them."

"Wait, what? You saw the fireworks?!"

"Oh great." Strikespell groans out in annoyance while shaking his head. Somehow, he knew this was too good to be true!

"Well, it did lead us to you all." Sunburst said with a slight chuckle. "Did it come from the Chest of Harmony?"

"Oh man! That was my birthday surprise to you, Twilight, and now, it's ruined!" Ben groans as he slaps his own forehead in dismay. So much for keeping this surprise a SURPRISE.

"Oh, that." Twilight said, rubbing the back of her mane awkwardly. "Well, sorry...err, Flash told me by so by accident about you trying to find the birthday surprise before I came down here. How was I supposed to know that it was my birthday today until today?"

"Wow, the Princess of Friendship: forgetting her own birthday." Starlight said with a slight chuckle while shaking her head in amusement. "I mean, really?"

"Well, the most important thing is... you're not lost anymore, Ben!"

"AND Twilight is at least being responsible, considering you made a mistake..." Strikespell begins to say, shaking his head.

Ben however interrupts the two, frowning as he spoke, "If I was lost, I wouldn't have memorized the entire basement beforehand!"

Twilight/Strikespell confused ask, "Huh?"

"So, wait... you... weren't lost?" Twilight ask Ben dumbstruck.

Ben sighs, "Yes! You see, a week before, I was down in the prop basement with Sunburst for a little tour, and the more I followed him, the more I started to take a look around. Sunburst, didn't you wonder why I kept asking for multiple tours last week?"

Sunburst pauses then spoke awkwardly, "Now that you mentioned it... yeah, I did wonder around the thirtieth time why you asked for a tour on the same day... but I never asked."

"That was so I can get a proper layout of the basement in my head, so that way, I would never get myself lost. It was my own personal map."

"So... wait, why did you ask me to come with you as a navigator, when you could have very well gone down yourself?" Starlight ask Ben curiously.

"I noticed you were feeling sad that Sunburst did a better job than you when trying to explore the basement, and I wanted to help you map the area physically, so that you can do as good as Sunburst." Ben explains clearly to Starlight, motioning to a familiar map nearby. He wanted to help her out.

"Really?"

Ben nods as he responds, "Really really."

Sunburst looks at Starlight's map as he spoke in amazement, "I have to say, that is a pretty good map..."

"You think so?" Starlight ask her lover hopefully.

"Wait a minute... so... if you had memorized this place the whole time... why didn't you say a word to me?" Strikespell ask his half-brother in bewilderment.

Ben groans, "I was trying to explain it to you multiple times, but you kept being a butt and complained the whole time without letting me get a single word in, so I just decided to shut up and let you get it out of your system until I could properly explain it to you... but every time I opened my mouth to say something, you wouldn't hear me out!"

Strikespell pause before speaking, "Oh..." He then looks ashamed, Ben was right. "I... guess I was complaining a lot..."

"And trying to pick fights..."

"And picking fights, yeah..." Strikespell sighs. Ben was right on that too. "I'm sorry."

"Come again?" Ben ask Strikespell in surprise. Did his half-brother actually apologize?

"Look, it's not easy for me to say, but this time, I was in the wrong. You knew EXACTLY what you were doing, and I wouldn't cooperate."

"Yeah, you just butted in during my secret assignment for Starlight, helping her out..."

"I guess you have brains in that head of yours after all. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to tolerate you and I'll always be in the right, but I was in the wrong this time, and I'm sorry." Strikespell said as he offers a hoof. "Next time, I will try to hear your reasonings properly and if I have good reason to complain, I won't hold back."

Ben pause as he shakes hooves with Strikespell, adding, "Well... it's a start..." He then glares at Twilight, "As for you... I am severely disappointed, Twilight. I can't believe you actually thought I would go down here to get myself lost!"

Twilight smiles nervously as she said, "You got to admit. It was kinda funny."

"Well, we're going to talk later about this, Miss Sparkle!"

"Uh, right...well, let's get back upstairs. Come on, guys..." Twilight turns, but looks puzzled. Only Sunburst and Dragoking are with her. "Err, Flash? Sunset?"

"Wait, Flash and Sunset came with you?" Starlight ask, arching an eyebrow in confusion.

"Oh, well. I didn't bring just Sunburst and Dragoking with me. I bought Flash and Sunset with me too...and they were right behind us..."

"Wait, are you saying that..." Ben begins to say as the others begin to give worried looks.

"Lost. Yeah." Twilight said, giving another nervous smile to her love.

"Ugh. Forming a rescue team, only for them to get lost. How ironic." Strikespell groans out a bit. "All right, time we retrace your steps so we can find those two."

"Okay. Time to-!" Before he finishes, Ben got snapped into a giant mouth before gobbled up into his long neck, "Again?! Really?! Don't you ever get tired of that?"

Strikespell cleared his throat in amusement, "If-!"

"Not another word! Just get me out of here!"

"I think I'd prefer to let you in him. Teaching you a lesson about not using your head as usual."

"Why I oughtta!" Ben screamed as something is happening in there. "Acid?! Darn it! Ouch! That's hurt!"

Starlight Glimmer groaned, "You really enjoying this, aren't you?"

Strikespell gave a smirk to Starlight, "That teach him a lesson for the prank he make when he was a brat."

Twilight Sparkle groaned, "Dragoking, what did we just discuss?!"

"I didn't!" Dragoking protest although he did do it.

"Get me out of here!" Ben exclaims out in annoyance.

After getting (or forcing) Dragoking to release Ben from his stomach, the others looks for Flash and Sunset. It didn't take long to find them. They found some interesting hiding spots while playing Marco Polo.

"Marco!" Flash exclaims as he peek out of one hiding spot.

"Polo!" Sunset calls out from another hiding place.

"Marco!"

"Polo!" Suunset calls out from another hiding spot...then as she peeks out, the mare saw Ben and Twilight's group nearby. "Oh, hey guys!"

"Marco!" Flash exclaims as he came out of another hiding spot nearby, with his eyes closed.

"Uh, guys? We're right here." Strikespell said with a sigh, causing Flash to open his eyes and seeing the others. "Honestly, even Pinkie and Fluttershy wouldn't be this obvious. At least, this mess is over..."

"Wait, hang on. Twilight? We're all down here, so who's running the show?" Ben ask Twilight in concern. Most of the staff are down here right now.

"Oh, I left Rarity in charge. Relax, I told her no silly acts." Twilight assures Ben with a smile. Needless to say, this made him worried.

"Uh...you do know this is Rarity we're talking about, right? She most likely would make some ridiculous act up on the spot."

"Come on, the only act she could come up with that could be ridiculous she could come up with was..."

Twilight stops as her eyes widened in shock. Everyone exclaims in alarm, "OH NO!"

"And now...give a warm Equestrian hooves welcome to...DOCTOR LIZARDO!" Rarity calls out from backstage4 via a mike. Sure enough, the villain in question along with Spike came on stage, both begin to sing as Sweetie for some reason tries to take the mike from Doctor Lizardo.

Dr. Lizardo and Spike: There's a fire going on, but the party's just begun,
So keep your focus looking at me tonight.
So the world's about to end, gonna party with my friends,
And ain't nobody gonna say itâ€™s not right
And I know nothing's gonna stand in my way, no matter the people may say
Just don't turn around and keep looking straight
And I see that everybody's starting to yell, how the world around you's going to Heck
I;m here to tell you all it' just fate.
I'm a distraction, of pure satisfaction,
Keep your eyes all on me, for what you're gonna see,
Will redefine the height of attraction
I'm a distraction, and I'm ready for action
So the world's gonna blow, stop complaining and go to the show.
There's explosions in the sky, and the neighborhood is fried,
But you don't have join them in all the fuss,
Act like nothing's going wrong, and just keep playing my song
Until there's nothing left around here but us.

And I know something's gonna happen tonight, all the stars around us start taking flight,
But there's something that invites me to stay
Cause I'm drawn to the rhythm of the music they play, and we're all gonna die anyway,
So enjoy it while you can, come what may.

We're a distraction, of pure satisfaction
There's a war going on, but in here we all won,
'Cause nobody is slowing the traction.

Take a step, come inside, buy a stub, ride the ride of your life

Nothing ever will come from saying never so join the fun where ever it is,
There's a power that's growing by the hour I'm positive I don't want to miss
I'm a distraction!

We're a distraction, of pure satisfaction,

Keep your eyes all on me, for what you're gonna see,
Will redefine the height of attraction
I'm a distraction, and I'm ready for action
So the world's gonna blow, stop complaining and go, just start watching the show, cause there's no more to know, here we go!

I'm a distraction,

he's a distraction,

we're a distraction,

we're a distraction!

Once the song is over, the two kneels down and strike a pose while Sweetie slips, falling onto the stage floor. Of course...no one was applauding at all.

Just then, a "ahem" is clear as the trio, along with Rarity, turns to see a familiar group of annoyed friends that just came out from the prop basement, giving frowns but mostly at Rarity.

"Oh, hey darlings." Rarity said with a nervous smile. "Err, I was...uh...who wants takeout? My treat!" Rarity exclaims nervously. Suddenly a giant came from offstage, pulling her away.

"I thought it was good." Dr. Lizardo mumbles as he and Spike left the stage while Sweetie got back to return to her band.

Pinkamena giggles to her brother, "Well what did I tell you what happened next would shake the house?"

"I really was not expecting that." Golden Heart comments, arching an eyebrow at what happened.

"In this place, expect the unexpected."

Twilight sighs while shaking her head. Hopefully, she can salvage the remaining the show into a passable one.

Fortunately for Twilight, she did manage to save the show...for the last 10 minutes, making it as salvageable as she could be able to.

"Well, that's it for the House of Pony this time, folks!" Twilight exclaims to the applauding audience with a smile. "Spike, take us out of here!"

"Sure will, Twilight!" Spike exclaims with a smile as he does the usual thing. "Lost and Services for the House of Pony has been provided by..."

"....Shorty Thinking's Lost and Found!" Spike is heard as we see a sign that has the words that he said hanging on a door of Shorty's home. "From missing spoons to shiny combs, Shorty Thinking has got them all!"

We see a pair of horseshoes being shown.

"Like lost horseshoes!"

"Oops!" Sweetheart in the audience exclaims as she looks at her horse shoe-less hooves. "I was wondering where those went!"

We now see a picture of someone's wig.

"Cranky Doodle Donkey's wig..."

"Thanks for finding it." Cranky, missing a wig, remarks with a scoff.

"Lost amulets..."

We see a picture of a lost amulet which Smaug takes quickly as he exclaims, "I will have that!"

"Even if you've lost your head..."

We see some sort of jack-o-lantern, which the Headless Pony takes in relief. We now go back to the sign as the commercial comes to a close.

"Shorty Thinking's Lost and Chance! Where he guaranteed that he has your special item!" Spike then adds in a low voice. "Not responsible for finding lost items stolen by Dark Mystics."

"Okay, ponies, that's it for today!" Twilight exclaims as everyone applauded while she gave a smile as she waves. "See you real soo..."

Suddenly the lights are off, confusing Twilight. What now? A familiar mare spoke up, "Hey, whoa, egghead! Before we end the show, we got something special! Hit it, girls!"

As the lights came back on, the CMC plays their instruments in a joyful matter as the spotlight came on Twilight while Applejack pushes a cake out onto the stage.

Suddenly, a familiar pink pony popped out, giggling, "Happy birthday, Twiley!"

"Pinkie Pie?!" Twilight exclaims in surprise as Fluttershy flew, instructing some birds who put a lei around Twilight's neck. "Fluttershy?"

"Surprise ya, eh egghead?" Rainbow laughs as she flew in, doing a signature rainbow above her friend's head.

"But, I thought you girls were busy!"

"Nah, they were saying that as a surprise for your birthday!" Applejack exclaims with a smile. "You done been with us for so long, we done think you deserve to have this in your honor, sugah cube!"

"Yes, although I took advantage of you earlier, I think we can let bygones be bygones, darling." Rarity giggled as she exclaims while coming out onto the stage. "All we got to say is...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TWILIGHT!" All of Twilight's friends and family exclaims as they came out onto the stage. Even the princesses came to wish her a happy birthday.

And sure enough, Ben came out in a nice suit, smiling towards Twilight as he sings a nice tune to the key of the music played by the girls.

Ben: Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday, Twilight Sparkle...
Happy birthday to you!

"And a lot of more!" Nyx giggles as Phobos pushes in another cake with lit candles on it.

"Aww, thanks, everyone." Twilight said with a happy smile on her face while squeezing. "What an honor!"

"Come on, mommy, blow the candles out and make a wish!"

Twilight didn't hesitate. She paused a bit and smile while taking a deep breath then blew out all the candles. Everyone applauds and cheers.

"AJ? Switch the monitors to outside of the House of Pony!" Ben ordered Applejack. The cowpony nodded as she pushes a button on the remove. The big screen now shows the outside of the club shooting out fireworks and magic via the Chest of Harmony.

"Wow." Twilight said, smiling as she watches the fireworks before turning to Ben. "Ben? Thanks, for everything."

"No problem, Twilight. So, out of curiosity, what did you wish for?"

"Hay, let's just say, I already have all I wanted..."

Ben could smiled a bit. Looks like the show ends on a big hit. He chuckled and finishes his drink, throwing it away...

Except it ended up right onto Dragoking's, knocking and hit the creature who angrily eats Ben again.

"Dragoking, will you cut that out? How did my PM counterpart handle him?" Twilight scolds Dragoking, trying to get him to let Ben out.

Why must he do this?

Author's Note

And thus, another episode done! Now in the next one, "Captain Pinkie-Pants", Pinkie felt like Brian is rejecting her for a date (of course, the mare misunderstood the answer). Suddenly, when a radioactive meteorite strikes her bowl of chips and her eating one, she turns into a superhero, the identify known only to her and Nyx, who decided to become her sidekick in business! Of course, things goes wrong when ponies begins liking her alter ego than the real Pinkie, causing her to quit the hero business...and at a bad time as an actual asteroid is about to destroy the House of Pony! Will Pinkie save the day and win Brian's heart? Read, review and suggest!

The Breezies in the opening are from Gen 3 of course.

Lorcan's cameo is a reference to how sore Timeboy is over what how he was "killed off" with no fanfare. Frankly, I am upset too, because I would've tried to make Lorcan better. Heck, I am upset over how Archie Comics was forced to "kill off" the Ken Penders characters for the Sonic reboot thing.

The Chest of Harmony was the main focus in Season 4 of the actual show.

Kibitz is from the comic books.

The versions of Cheerilee and Rarity are from the Gen 3 era as well.

The song here is from "To Boldly Free, Part 7" which TimeBoy has requested for me to do. So credit goes to him.

Sweetheart is from the Gen 1 franchise.

House of Pony: Season 2

Episode Twenty-Three: Captain Pinkie-Pants

Twilight had a great birthday party, thanks to Ben, Strikespell, and Starlight and everyone else...even though Twilight knew that, making it not a surprise (though it wasn't really her fault). Twilight learned that if Ben has something planned special for her, she would leave him to it, even allowing her lover to search the prop basement on his own...though the Alicorn did asked Starburst and/or Starlight to help out every one and a while.

Going back to couples: there's Pinkie and Brian Tenny, who sometimes goes out together lately. Even though Brian's gossip section can caused some problems, the two worked it out eventually. The two were a nice couple...however, one time, Pinkie, being random, misunderstood one of Brian's answer when she offered a nice date.

And to make things interesting, this was also the day that something life-threatening will come to destroy Equestria as well as the House of Pony...

The show starts with Spike giving out the introduction, "And now, folks, she taught us that Equestria is a land we love, here is TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"

The audience applauds as Twilight, smiling, slide over to speak, "Hey! Welcome to the House of Pony, everypony! Oh yeah, I couldn't help but noticed how this audience is by far the fairest of them all, to quote a certain mirror. Hey, Anubus, hope you don't mind!"

Near the entrance where Rainbow and Sunburst were greeting the guests, the creature spoke up, "It's all right."

Brian Tenny was at one of the tables, looking at his notes, humming as a familiar voice spoke, "Hey, Briany!"

Brian grins as he saw his fillyfriend come over, speaking, "Hey, Pinkie! On a break?"

"Yep! Sunset is covering for me until I get back!"

"Oh, you aren't going to believe what I heard from the word on the street this time!"

"Really?" Pinkie ask her lover curiously. She is always curious as to what Brian has in mind.

"Yep! I've heard you think I was pretty cute." Brian remarks in amusement, causing Pinkie to giggle. Now at this point, Nyx and Phobos were nearby, stopping and hiding behind a pillar to listen in to this conversation.

"Awww! You are cute! Hey, listen, if you aren't busy this week, wanna come to the movies with me?"

"Really?! Yeah, I would to! Stay here and I will check my schedule!"

Brian got up and dashed off to check his schedule. However, unknown to her, Pinkie stared wide-eyed in shock as her mane and tail went flattened. She whimpers, "Ch-check his schedule? Did Brian just rejected me???"

Nyx and Phobos looks shocked and concerned. The truth is, they knew that Brian said yes, but the schedule part seems a bit ambiguous. Pinkie sniffed as she cries, trotting off as the two watch on in concern for their friend.

Pinkie is now at the doors of the backstage area outside the House of Pony, crying her tears out. Nyx came out with a bowl of chips to cheer her up.

"Hey, Auntie Pinkie. Err, Phobos and I figured you would be out here." Nyx said to Pinkie in concern.

"Oh, hey, Nyxie. Whatcha brings you out here for?" Pinkie ask, sniffing as she looks to her honorary niece who put the bowl of chips aside.

"Well, we saw you speaking with Brian earlier. When he left, you just ran off crying. Listen, I know things doesn't go well, but..."

"Nyxie! I asked Brian if he could go to the movies with me, and he told me that he had to check his schedule! What a pony say that, that's a sign that he doesn't like you anymore!"

"Auntie Pinkie, that isn't true." Nyx said as she sat down next to the depressed Pinkie. The filly got to convince her that what happened was a misunderstanding on Pinkie's part.

"MEANWHILE, IN OUTTER SPACE!"

Now at this point in the sky, a meteorite was seen flying straight down towards the House of Pony...small, tiny, but yet radioactive! While Pinkie and Nyx were speaking, it made contact, right in the bowl of chips which exploded, sprinkling onto every chip and giving them a special dose of power.

Of course, the two didn't notice. Nyx was speaking, "Auntie Pinkie, you only misunderstood what Brian just told ya. He likes you, honest!"

"Awww, why did he say he'd check his schedule?! Let's face it, when it comes to parties, I'm a fun pony to be with me...but dates? I'm not interesting! Why, if I were some kind of super mare, he would pay attention to me!" Pinkie sighs as she sniffs a bit. Nyx sighs, what could she do to help her?

"Come on, you have potential, I know you do! Maybe you're just honest!" Nyx suggests as she picks up the bowl of chips. "Eat some helps. I know you would feel better."

Pinkie sighs as she takes a potato chip from the bowl and ate it up. The mare sighs, "Let's face it, Nyxie. its no good. Perhaps another chip would..."

Suddenly Pinkie's eyes as the mare begins twitching violently, much to Nyx's notice and concern.

"Err, Auntie Pinkie? You okay?" Nyx ask Pinkie in concern.

Suddenly, Pinkie bounces around like mad, Nyx moves to avoid getting hit by her. Soon the mare spins around in a tornado, causing her to scream out wildly.

"Jumping Jehosphat! Without warning, Pinkie has transformed herself into a SUPERHERO!!!"

"Yeah, I could've figured that out myself, Mr. Narrator!" Nyx snaps at the narrator in annoyance.

"Hey, just telling that to the folks at home."

To Nyx's surprise, Pinkie stood in place, but she isn't the same. The mare has a bit more muscle than usual. And the mare is wearing...a pair of pink underpants???

"Wait, wait. Underpants? Why is Pinkie in her underpants???" Nyx ask the narrator in bewilderment. "Okay, what are you trying to pull, Jus?!"

"Hey, I wanna do a reference to the Captain Underpants franchise...sort of. Just go with it!"

Nyx decides to do so as she asked in shock, sort of, "Auntie Pinkie Pie?"

"Yes...wait, what happened to me?" Pinkie yelps as she saw herself with muscles and a pair of underpants. Nyx pulls out a mirror to give the mare a good look at herself. "Eeeek! What happened?"

"I think my bowl should've must've somehow gotten mixed with a small meteorite that we didn't noticed earlier because we were talking. It made them radioactive. When you ate one of them, you've gotten superpowers."

"Wow! Just like Captain Underpants! Oh, Oh, Nyx! Blast me!"

"Wait, really?" Nyx ask Pinkie in concern. She ponders if that's a good idea.

"Do it, come on, do it!" Pinkie exclaims with a squee. Nyx hesitated but the filly charged her horn up, preparing to fire.

But without warning, Pinkie fires a pair of underpants from out of nowhere, blinding the filly before tossing Nyx to the ground, harmlessly. She then made flew down and somehow grabs Nyx a big wedgie. Yeah, she got no underwear and no pony does I know, but this is a random pony we're talking about here!

"TRA-LA-LAAAAA!" Pinkie calls out, then she made a happy squee. "Wow! I'm a superhero. Hey, if that's the case...maybe Brian will be more impressed with me!"

"Wow, really?" Nyx ask Pinkie meekly as she is recovering from the wedgie while removing the underpants from her own mane.

"Yeah, thanks to these powers, I can do anything!"

"Cool. Well, I won't stop you...but can you let me play the sidekick?"

"What? Why?" Pinkie ask Nyx, arching an eyebrow.

"Captain Underpants got two sidekicks he has hanging around him, and it's only fair! Please, please?" Nyx ask, pulling out the cute face. This made Pinkie yelps. It's too far to resist.

"Awww, all right. You win! Who can I say no to a cute face?"

"Squeee! All right!" Nyx zips off quickly then came back, wearing a pair of purple PJs with a Timberwolf mask on. "TRA-LA-LAAAAA! I'm Wolfie, the PJ Wonder!!!"

"Wait, won't ponies recognize you?" Pinkie ask in concern, noting how thinly disguised Nyx is.

"Trust me. If no body, except for George, Harold, the Melvin Geek, and the professor with the weird name, can recognized Mr. Krupp as Captain Underpants in his own underwear and with no wig, I doubt anyone else could be the wiser with us!"

"Good point! Then I shall be called Captain Pinkie-Pants! Okay, Mr. Narrator, take it away!"

"Oh, right! And thus, the origins of Captain Pinkie-Pants and Wolfie, the PJ Wonder has begun!"

"Wait, do we really need a narrator for this?" Nyx ask the narrator in concern.

"You two do if you wanna be super heroes! Just bear with me!"

"Okie dokie lokie!" Nyx and Pinkie exclaims at once eagerly and happily. They can't wait to be awesome super heroes!

"Yes, Captain Pinkie-Pants! Mild mannered party planner by day, a super duper heroine by night! This heroine is known for various deeds...like rescuing incoming carriage crashes with her super strength!"

Sure enough, two carriages were about to clash into each other onto the road. Fortunately, Captain Pinkie-Pants flew in between the two and stopped them with her super strength!

"Giving nasty wedges to the baddies!"

Sure enough, we see two Diamond Dogs trying to make off with some gems they have stolen from a bank, but then Captain Pinkie Pants lands on the two, knocking them down, then she grabs at the two, somehow giving them wediges!

"Wow!" A Royal Guard exclaims as he and his fellow guards catches up while Captain Pinkie Pants flies off. "Who is that mare???"

"And even knocking down doors while wearing just her drawers!"

Sure enough, Captain Pinkie-Pants breaks down while wearing her drawers, crying out, "TRA-LA-LAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

"And with the help of Wolfie, the PJ Wonder, the duo are here to save the day from the forces of mean!"

Captain Pinkie-Pants lands nearby Wolfie as she pose in front of a camera that Nyx brought with her, taking footage of her action. The filly giggles, "Now we've got some awesome footage! Brian will love this!"

"And I'm gotta love Brian for having it!" Pinkie giggled excitedly. She knows Brian will be thrilled to get this footage!

And sure enough, Brian did get the footages which said "Surprise Hero" as he hosted another one of his gossip columns in the House of Pony, "And in recent news, I have gotten some information that we have a new superheroine on the block!" Everyone stand at attention, especially Nyx and Phobos, Nyx back in her usual wear, watches on with smirks. The filly told her Dragon the secret earlier. "Yeah, right! Just recently during the show, we have been introduced by a underwear wearing heroine with super strength, super wedgie powers, and the whatnow known as Captain Pinkie-Pants with her sidekick Wolfie, the PJ Wonder! Let's check the footage!"

Everyone watches the screen as it shows footage of Pinkie and Nyx in their alter egos fighting crime respectively. Everyone, especially Brian who hasn't seen the footage, gasps in amazement.

And sure enough, once the footage is over, Captain Pinkie-Pants flew into the place, doing impressive stunts to the further amazement of everyone watching.

"Wow, she is amazing!" Twilight exclaims from offstage in amazement.

"She's so random!" Ben exclaims in amazement yet confusion.

"She is so daring!" Rarity exclaims from her place at the entrance table with a smile on her face. The mare is enjoying this!

"Wow. Makes me wonder who this pony in the underpants really is." Brian said with a small gasp of wonderment while giving a look of amazement towards the mare in question.

"Hee hee. Nopony knows that it's really me!" Pinkie exclaims happily as she listens to the comments below. "Even when I'm in my..."

"PINKIE PANTS, LOOK OUT FOR THAT..." Nyx begins to exclaim in alarm as Pinkie was about to...too late, Captain Pinkie-Pants crashes right into a column, knocking a part of it right off. "...column."

"Wow, she's really super dumb." Phobos remarks dryly as the Moon Dragon did a face palm.

A while later, outside the House of Pony, Pinkie, Nyx and Phobos stood in the alley way, looking at the bowl of chips. At Nyx's suggestion, Pinkie calls these "Power Chips" (because "Power Slices" were already taken).

"Eh, the identify was cool, Pinkie, but seriously, a pair of drawers?" Phobos ask Pinkie in disbelief. "How about a cape as well?"

"Hey, a cape sounds neat-o! The real Captain Underpants wears one!" Pinkie exclaims, liking the idea already.

"First off, we need to get these Power Chips hidden from sight to keep anypony from getting the idea of using them...and in case you need to change back into Captain Pinkie-Pants." Nyx said thoughtfully. She's right, the chips needs to be hidden.

"No problem! Just put them in my magic satchel place!" Pinkie exclaims, pointing to nowhere in particular.

"Good idea!" Phobos exclaims happily. He takes the bowl and begins stuffing it in the "magic satchel" place. However, one chip fell out and fall towards the floor though Nyx caught it in time. "Oops! One fell out."

"No problem! Nyx, keep it in case we ever need it later."

"Yeah, great idea." Nyx said as she puts the chip in her saddle bag. "Oh, I hope you don't mind but we decided to book Captain Pinkie-Pants for the show. The act that was going to be there got cancelled..."

"Again." Phobos remarks, rolling his eyes right.

"Right. And we may had told daddy that a certain super heroine and her sidekick are eager to visit. Hope you don't mind..."

"Aww, no worries, little Nyxie!" Pinkie giggles as she rubs Nyx's mane, making her laugh a bit. "They wanted Captain Pinkie-Pants, they got her! Just make sure to help me out sidekick, and this night will be Super Duper awesome!"

Nyx suggests a bit. Of course, she and Phobos notes that Pinkie is acting a bit cocky but decided not to bother. It's Pinkie Pit. Why question it?

"Captain Pinkie-Pants?" Pinkamena ask her big brother at her table. "That is a strange Hero name."

Golden Heart nodded as he spoke, "It seems interesting that Pinkie Pie is not here but this hero."

"We just have to wait and see what happens next."

"And now, folks, here's a Pinkie Pie cartoon!" Twilight exclaims on stage with a smile as she introduces the first cartoon of the night.

The audience applauds as the first cartoon of the night begins to play on the usual big screen.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS....

A PINKIE PIE CARTOON

How to Take Care of Your Yard

"Yes, there is no greater joy than that of the perfect home."

Pinkie is outside Sugar Cube Corner right now humming to herself as she polishes the outside of the building, down to the door, dusting it out while smiling. She is asked by the Cakes to watch over the place while they and their babies were away.

"Yes, pride in your well-kept and humble home is important. But even a lovely home can be ruined by...AN UGLY YARD!"

Sure enough, Pinkie jumps into the air as she saw a horrifying sight: her yard up front doesn't look good! There's barely any grass, there's barely any leaves on the trees, a tossed out couch, a pair of horseshoes hanging on a tree branches, and even a couple of cracks in a nearby fence.

"Wow, I guess I didn't clean up much from my party last night." Pinkie said nervously. "Mr. and Mrs. Cake won't trust me to watch the place again if they find out I've neglected the yard! How am I going to make it better? And can I even make it better, Mr. Narrator?"

"No problem, my pink pony friend. For its time you expose yourself to agriculture."

"'Agriculture'? Is that bad? Because I already saw a doctor a week ago and I don't wanna get sick." Pinkie said worried and confused about that.

"Relax, Pinkie, it isn't a sickness. Agriculture simply means you must learn to keep your yard prim and prop. And to do so, we will start...by gardening."

"Oooh. Why didn't you say so, Mr. Silly Narrator?" Pinkie ask the narrator in amusement.

"Now then, cultivating the perfect yard into easy, seasonal steps. With the help of the Pegasi weather team, we will begin by changing the season from March to June..."

A seasonal wheel came up. There are four symbols on it: a rose, the sun, a leaf and a snowflake, the flower was the first to light up.

"First off, spring!"

Thanks to the Pegasi weather team, it is now spring. Pinkie hums as she is now in gardener's clothes with a large bag of seeds in her mouth. The mare looks around, the yard is now nice and gloomed up, ready for the first garden out back.

"Now, this is the time when the wise gardener carefully plants his or seeds. Like so."

The spring section of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" plays as Pinkie pokes 3 holes in the ground. The mare now carefully scoops up 3 seeds from her bag, kissing all 3 for some reason. Pinkie then puts the seeds down into each hole before burying them, planting the ground. She waters the ground that the seeds were at, smiling as she did a ballet twirl.

"Of course, you mustn't plant too carefully. You Miss Pie got a lot of ground to cover."

Pinkie yelps in concern, why didn't the narrator say so? The pony gallops off before coming back with a pogo stick. She quickly hops along each row of the garden, then planting the seeds there. Pinkie quickly did another row of jumping with a pogo sticks, then seeds planting at least twice.

"Also, I should mention that it's best to get all that planting done BEFORE the spring rain."

Pinkie yelps upon looking in time to see a small black cloud, put there by a Pegasus pony, squeezing a few drops of rain onto her mane. The pony must think fast! She pulls out an old seed planting device and put all the seeds inside.

Pinkie begins cranking the crank, but she did too fast. This causes her to shoot all the seeds not only into the ground, but sending holes right through Sugar Cube Corner. Pinkie yelps and screams while getting thrown off the out of control seed shooting gun.

Everything eventually calm down. Pinkie is at work patching up dents in Sugar Cube Corner, nodding at her work. There.

"Now then, all that planting you did will pay off by the time that the gentle spring showers arrive."

As if on cue, the Pegasis brings in a bunch of clouds much to Pinkie's notice as a shower nozzle comes down with lightning following, striking around.

"Wow, looks like..." Pinkie was interrupted when the rain begins going down in buckets within seconds. The mare saw everything covered in water. "....rain."

"After the rain, your yard will start to sprout a delicate scene of greenery."

It didn't take long before the water evaporated pretty fast. Everything in Pinkie's yard begins to grow green, with a birdhouse growing nearby. Needless to say, however, the grass grew up so high that the building was barely scene.

Pinkie manages to peek her head out of the grass asking, "Mr. Narrator? What am I do with all this grass? I can't throw parties in this!"

"Well, the wise gardener makes sure to keep her grass neatly trimmed."

Getting an idea, Pinkie smiles as she gallops off. The mare comes back with a weed eater, using it to get rid of one row of grass. She then pushed a lawn mower to get rid of another row, knocking down a plastic flamingo unknowingly.

Next, Pinkie uses an electric mower on another grass of grass, though she crashes into a bird house, scaring off a cat that was lounging nearby. She finally uses a large tractor with a large mower attached to get rid of more grass, destroying a table as well.

Pinkie nodded, everything is clear now. The mare begins to head back into Sugar Cube Corner...but hears a large clump of grass beginning to grow behind her. The mare puzzled turns, the grass disappear to her confusion. She turns around, only for the grass to grow back.

Pinkie turns back, but the grass, playing a trick on her, disappeared quickly into the ground. Pinkie scratches her mane puzzled. Something is not right here. Hay, every time she turns around, the grass grew, and every time she looks back, the grass disappeared back into the ground quickly.

This goes on a few times, until Pinkie, getting suspicious, decides to try something. She looks up and whistles while turning around. The grass begins to grow...then Pinkie turns around quickly and points at the grass who disappeared a second too late

"Ha ha! Gotcha you mean old grass!" Pinkie laughs in triumph. However, the mare yelps in alarm as the grass begins to grow big. That isn't good!

Pinkie gallops off as the grass begins to grow like mad, beginning to cover up everything. But this is one random pony who isn't giving up so easily! She rushes back into Sugar Cube Corner, coming back...with a large chainsaw, revving it up. As Pinkie gives out an insane like smile, the grass whipped up in terror.

"Yes, keeping your grass trimmed is a chore, that's true, but gardening helps soothe the soul."

Pinkie gave a whish and a whash and soon, every bit of the grass has been trimmed with the chainsaw. Pinkie smirks as she laughs, "All right! This is Super Duper like it!"

Pinkie spoke too soon however. Her chainsaw also ended up slicing up Sugar Cube Corner, much to her notice as she groans.

"Err, right. Sorry about that. Let's flash forward to..."

We go back to the wheel of seasons as it moves over to the sun.

"....Summer!"

Thanks to the Pegasi team, the summer came as Pinkie manages to get her home tied up together...with lots and lots of tape. Doesn't make sense, but what is?

"For ponies, summer is the season of the sun..."

Pinkie is indeed wearing a summer hat and shorts, squinting while looking up towards the sun. It is beginning to get hot so the mare decided to take a break, sitting in a tanning chair while looking towards a mirror, drinking some pink lemonade happily. Pinkie loves the summer!

"Indeed, ample water is very VERY important. The reason? Even the gentle Summer Sun may lead to a slight drying of your yard."

It didn't take long for Pinkie to yelp and notices. Everything in her yard begins to dry up and wilt. She can't have that! The mare grabs a watering can as she begins watering the sunflowers. No good however, because every time she tries to water one, the other flower would wilt fast.

Pinkie growls in frustration, she is about to lose it here! Luckily though, our favorite party mare got an idea. The silly pink one quickly uses an axe to cut the watering can in two, which allows her to use both halves of the watering can to keep the flowers happy. Don't ask how it makes sense.

Not that it matters though. All the water got used up in the cans, and soon the flowers wilted and dried up, turning to dust. Pinkie looks around in shock. The whole yard now looks like a desert, with a cow skull to boot too!

"Sometimes, if hoof water doesn't seem to work..."

Pinkie looks worried as a tumbleweed passes by, a cactus begins to grow. She needs to take care of this problem and quick!

"Best to install a sprinkler system."

A few moments later, Pinkie manages to install a spicket sprinkler into the ground, burying it nearly. The mare made sure to install similar sprinklers, buried around the ground in the yard. She can get this area back to normal in no time!

"Ah, yes. With sprinklers, all you got to do is one thing which is turn on the faucet."

Pinkie smiles as she bounces over to a faucet nozzle, turning it to the right. For a moment, it looks like everything will turn out all right as the sprinklers begins to a jiggle a bit...but then they begins spraying water at Pinkie, knocking her down. The Earth Pony recovers to see all the sprinklers spreading water, each in one direction!

"Also, best to make sure all the sprinklers are properly aligned."

Pinkie frantically turns the water off and takes out a wrench. The mare begins fixing up each sprinkler before turning the water back on. However, the sprinkler begins to not to prove much water, making her frown. This is getting frustrating!

"Always make sure the water pressure isn't too low..."

Pinkie did not waste time in adjusting the faucet handle. However, the sprinklers begins to shake, that isn't good!

"Or on the other hoof...too high."

"Sure enough, the sprinklers begins shooting out a lot of water like mad. Pinkie in alarm begins covering up each sprinkler with her ears, hooves, and even growing more somehow to cover the sprinklers. This is getting out of hoof here!

"After all, today's yardsmith doesn't squander valuable water, right?"

"Wait, 'squander'? Whatcha mean by that?" Pinkie ask with a concerned look. Sure enough, without warning, a geyser of waster came out from under Sugar Cube Corner, blasting it up into the air.

"AKA DON'T WASTE WATER, MISS PIE!"

"Eek!" Pinkie gasps as she rushes back to the faucet and tied it up. This causes the water to stop. "Whew, close one. I thought..."

Pinkie spoke too soon. Her home and employment landed with a thud on her head, now full of water. The pink pony came out, groaning but recovered.

"That out of the way. Let us move on to..."

The wheel of seasons came back as it moves over to the leaf.

"...fall, or autumn. Take your pick!"

Pinkie is now in her fall clothes, getting the last of the water out of the place as the trees changes to the leaves of autumn. Time for this lesson to continue.

"This is a time when nature paints the leaves every hue of the rainbow."

Just as Pinkie got the last of the water out of Sugar Cube Corner, a leaf fell off a branch of a nearby, landing right onto Pinkie. She notices it as it was about to fall to the ground.

"Ha, gotcha, nice try Mr. Leaf!" Pinkie exclaims with a smirk. No leaf is messing with her garden today!

"Lovely as they seem, the wise gardener makes sure her yard is free of fallen leaves."

Pinkie looks around while putting the leaf in a trash bag...then screams as more leaves begins falling like mad, causing her to gallop all around and collecting them in the bag each time. She isn't going to mess her yard up!

Of course, the bag got too big to the point that when Pinkie was about to put the last leaf inside...it exploded, leaving a whole mess of leaves in front of her.

"Awww, horse feathers." Pinkie groans out in disbelief and annoyance.

"In the event of the leaves' cover becoming particularly heavy, one may want to utilize a leaf blower."

Pinkie now came in with a leaf blower in hoof and pushes the nozzle to turn it on. But nothing happened. The mare puzzled pushes the button, but again, nothing happened. Pinkie kept pushing the button, pointing the blow nozzle down...but upon the tenth click, the leaf blow soon roars to life, sending the pink pony right him into a tree.

"Wow, this thing really "blows"." Pinkie jokes a bit. One could imagine somepony slapping his or her face right about now.

It was a few moments later as Pinkie got back on the ground, blowing the leaves away, yelling, "Naughty leaves, smelly leaves, go away!" Soon all the leaves in the yard was gone, making her nod. "Ha! That took care of that!"

With a nod, Pinkie pushes the button, but to her concern, the blower won't turn off. The mare tries pushing the button, but unknown to her, the blow nozzle has pushed away a tree, along with Sugar Cube Corner, and the whole background of the story. Now Pinkie was standing on a white canvas.

"UGH! TURN OFF, YOU STUPID BLOW THINGIE!" Pinkie screams at the leaf blower. To her surprise, the thing was turned off. Pinkie is surprised as she looks into the nozzle.

Bad mistake! The blower is turned on automatically, blowing Pinkie out of her fur coat and mane, sending her jumping up, screaming. The pony's blowers begins to float down a moment afterwards. Don't ask.

"And now, for the final season...."

The wheel of seasons goes towards the final symbol on the wheel AKA the snowflake.

"...Winter!"

Pinkie is now in her winter clothes, fixing up Sugar Cube Corner as she was hammering the door in. This is getting a bit annoying.

"This is the time when Jack Frost, or in this case the Pegasi works on their icy magic. Isn't there anything more charming than the first snowflake of the season?"

Pinkie pauses as she turns around. She smiles as a snowflake is coming down. It was pretty charming, one had to admit. Too bad it didn't last long as a lot of snow fell right onto her head.

"Eeep, not good." Pinkie said meekly.

And sure enough, a large blanket of snow soon covers the whole area, smoke came out of the chimney, keeping Sugar Cube Corner, or what left of it anyway, warm.

"Indeed, your yard will be covered by a picturesque blanket of snow."

Pinkie, popping out, now has a snow shovel. She will have to shovel it, the mare groans. More back-breaking insane labor!

"Ah, but who said you have to clear snow just like your Granny Pie or the yaks does? You got yourself some modern snow management technology, my dear Pinkie Pie."

This got Pinkie's curiosity and interest as she smiles. A key appears in her hoof as she ditches the snow shovel before galloping off. Who cares what Applejack thinks? Technology will spare her the trouble here!

Pinkie came back with a snowplow with an attachable snow blower. The pony got to work on driving around the snow. Too bad she fails to see that all the snow that she is plowing is now covering up Sugar Cube Corner's rooftop!

Pinkie still doesn't notice as she hums, "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to use modern snow management technology!" The mare stops her driving and looks around, all of her yard is now pretty clear of snow. The pony smiles, a job well done!

"Ah, and once your frozen yard is pretty free of every snowflake, it is time to admire your winter's yardwork from the comfort of your own, dry home."

Pinkie hums, opening the door and going back inside before slamming the said door. Unfortunately, she ended up slamming the door too hard, causing the rooftop of the building to fall down, snowing her in.

Soon the Pegasi team bought back the springtime. Pinkie is back to normal as she admires how great her new yard is.

"As I said before, there is no greater joy than the perfect yard."

Pinkie gave a happy squee, she got to agree with that!

"Of course, even the loveliest yard can be spoiled by...ONE BUTT UGLY HOME!"

Sure enough, Pinkie gasped as Sugar Cube Corner was now a big wreck, it fell apart...literally.

"Aww, horse feathers!" Pinkie groans as she slaps herself on the forehead. "Next time, Mr. Narrator, have a lesson about how important it is to balance making sure that both a yard AND home is nice and lovely!"

"Yeeeeah. Good point."

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is done, the audience applauds wildly. A pretty good one!

Spike is back on stage, smiling as he gives out the introduction, "All right, now, because everypony in Equestria wants them, and we've got them! Fillies and gentlemen, the awesome Captain Pinkie-Pants and her sidekick Wolfie, the PJ Wonder!'

Meanwhile, our favorite pink pony is hiding nearby, pulling out her bag of chips from who knows where and eating some of them. The pink pony remarks happily, "Salty but good."

Pinkie then in a flash transforms once more into Captain Pinkie-Pants. Nyx was already in her costume as she came up, saying, "All right, let's do this, Auntie Pinkie Pie!"

"Yeah! Tra-la-laaaaaaa!"

Nyx came out, smiling as she exclaims, "Hey, fillies and gentlecolts! Thanks for coming over to see us! Check out Captain Pinkie-Pants in action! Hee hee he!"

Pinkie smiles, time to get to work! The mare flies upward and goes right at the human version of Tech....and grabs him by his underwear, giving him one nasty wedgie. The audience looks amazed by this, especially when human Tech is screaming like a girl.

Well, all but The MASK (Stanley Ipkiss's identify) who was sitting at a table with his dog Milo, rolling his eyes while remarking, "Ha, so she does wedgies. Anyone else can do it?" Milo just barked in agreement.

Once Captain Pinkie-Pants was done, she landed back on stage and bow to the audience, exclaiming, "Thank you, thank you so much!"

"For Pete's sake, stop eating me!" A familiar pony is heard, which is Ben being eaten by Dragoking...again.

"Valor... Food!" Dragoking mumbles, trying to chow down Ben who is fighting to escape once more.

"Somepony help me!"

"Again? Jeez, Power Master! Don't you think that joke went too far? Seriously, give Ben a break!" Pinkie groans out. She flies off and comes back with a big pile of fish. "Hey boy, look what I've got?"

"FISH! Yummy Fish!" Dragoking exclaims happily. He lets go of Ben, leaving him covered in spit in floor.

As Dragoking eats, Ben got up, speaking, "Thanks, Captain Pinkie-Pants. I thought he's gonna get me for sure. I'm not sure of how long I can keep this up."

Pinkie shrugged as she remarks, "Long enough if Power Master stop using that joke. It's disgusting..."

"Also, check out Captain Pinkie-Pants's strength!" Nyx exclaims with a smile.

In a flash, Captain Pinkie-Pants grabs three yaks from Yakyakistan and begins juggling them, much to their surprise. Backstage, Twilight, Rarity, Brian and Starlight were watching, amazed.

"Wow, isn't she amazing?" Twilight ask, impressed by Pinkie's performance.

"Oh yeah, she definitely does." Phobos remarks as he came over, with a smile. Once Pinkie's done, she and Nyx came back in. The audience are very impressed with what happened.

"Captain Pinkie-Pants, I know we've known you for an hour now, but since you're now the resident superhero of Ponyville since Mare Do-Well's departure..." Twilight giggled, not seeing Rainbow nearby rolling her eyes at this. "...we managed to make our own caller. So whenever your symbol is up in the sky, that means we need ya!"

"Aww, I'm flattered." Pinkie said with a smile, feeling touched by the participation.

"Yeah, your tricks are amazing." Starlight said with a smile.

"Which reminds me, as anypony seen Pinkie or Nyx around tonight?" Rarity ask as she looks around, not noticing the smirks on Pinkie, Nyx and Phobos's faces, no one else did for that matter. "They are missing on something this fabulous!"

"Well, knowing Pinkie, she is off doing random things again." Ben said as he scratches his chin in concern. "And maybe Nyx is on a bathroom break or something."

"Well, I'm sure they will show up somehow." Pinkie said with a secret smile. "Also..."

"Say, Pinkie-Pants? Word on the street that you are awesome and helpful!" Brian exclaims to Pinkie, making her smile with a blush. "Way better than the poor, silly, regular, random Pinkie Pie!"

"Aww, well, you see, I...wait, hang on! What do you mean "poor, silly, regular, random Pinkie Pie"?!"

"Oh, well, it's nothing against her. It's just that you save ponies, lives, worlds, and such! Pinkie is a fun pony who does that, but she barely take anything seriously! Plus, she has a habit of being annoyi9ng sometimes, but you aren't! You are better than she ever was!"

No one, but Nyx and Phobos, notices, but what Brian just said has secretly hurt Pinkie's feelings. He can't believe that ponies, even her coltfriend, would preferred her super heroine identify than her other self!

Suddenly, Pinkie shakes a bit, making her worry. Her powers are about to wear off! The mare exclaims quickly, "Err, excuse me, I need a moment!"

Much to the confusion of everyone but Nyx and Phobos, Pinkie zips off. Rarity calls out frantically, "Wait, I must have your picture!"

Nyx and Phobos rushes outside just in time to see Pinkie changing back to normal, her mane and tail are flat which happens when she gets sad. Nyx asked as she took her own outfit off, "Auntie Pinkie Pie? What's wrong?"

"Hey, what gives here? Why are you so sad now?" Phobos ask as Pinkie looks at the two sadly but upset at the same time.

Pinkie was about to speak when a familiar voice spoke up, "Rainbow Dash, there she is! Captain Pinkie-Pants and Wolfie, the PJ Wonder!" The trio saw Rarity eagerly dragging Rainbow out. "Hurry, hurry! We need to get a picture so we can get this on Twitter later! Hashtag Captain Pinkie-Pants Is Here!"

"Wait!" Nyx and Phobos begins to protest, but it's too late as Rainbow took the picture, making a big flash that causes the trio to go blind temporarily. Rarity took a closer look then frowns in disappointment.

"Oh, wait. Just poor Pinkie Pie, Nyx and Phobos. Rainbow, darling, best to tweet that picture on your Twitter. Hashtag Disappointed."

"But I don't even use Twitter!" Rainbow exclaims to Rarity with a frown as the two went back inside.

"Well, best to use Twitter now, darling!" Rarity exclaims as she closes the door behind the two.

"Ugh! There, see the problem?!" Pinkie groans in frustration to Nyx and Phobos.

"Eh, so Rarity's a bit dramatic as usual." Phobos remarks with a shrug. "Why is that a problem?"

"Not that! I mean what they said about me and Captain Pinkie-Pants! Everyone likes my alter-ego than a random, silly pony like me! Even Brian thinks so!"

"But I'm sure they didn't mean to make you upset." Nyx said, now knowing why Pinkie's upset. "I'm sure Brian still loves you and..."

"Forget it, Nyxie! He loves Captain Pinkie-Pants, she is nothing more than a mask of who I really am!" Pinkie exclaims with a pout.

"So tell him you're Captain Pinkie-Pants." Phobos remarks with a shrug. "What's the worse that can happen?"

"He will hate me for being a lying liar-pants! Well, guess what? It's over! I'm done wearing the Pinkie-Pants!"

"Wait, what?" Nyx ask in alarm. To her shock, Pinkie took the bag of radioactive chips from the "magic satchel" and threw them into the trash. "Wait! That's your power source!"

"Not anymore. As of now, Captain Pinkie-Pants ends TONIGHT!" Pinkie exclaims with a scowl. As far as she's concerned, "Captain Pinkie-Pants" is gone.

"But, she only started tonight." Phobos points out, puzzled.

"Who cares?! I'm done with being the heroine if no pony wanted regular Pinkie! I don't want to be Captain Pinkie-Pants anymore!"

"Wait! What if Equestria needs a hero?" Nyx calls out as Pinkie prepares to go back into the club angrily.

"Being a hero stinks anyway! It gets you into trouble and get bad guys on your tail. Not to mention all the negative reviews I've recalled from the Mare Do-Well episode we did! Now don't talk me out of it, I'm done!" Pinkie screams as she shut the door behind herself. Nyx and Phobos looks shocked and worried.

"Oh, Great Muffins! Is this the end of Captain Pinkie-Pants?!"

"Uh, you did hear her, right?" Nyx ask the narrator in concern. "It is the end."

"Hey, I'm being dramatic here. Anyway, what if Equestria needs a hero?"

"Pinkie won't care. Besides, maybe it's for the best, right?" Nyx ask sadly as she and Phobos sighs while looking down.

"MEANWHILE, another comet approaches the House of Pony!"

"Wait, hang on!" Nyx exclaims upon hearing that. She looks up as did Phobos to see some sort of shining star. "Err, Phobos? Is that a star or..."

"Nope! It looks like a comet!" Phobos exclaims in alarm, his Moon Dragon senses allows him to see the object clearly.

"Oh, more than that, Nyxie. It's a big asteroid that's much bigger and could wipe out the whole House of Pony on impact!"

"What?! Oh man, Auntie Pinkie Pie, why did you have to choose now to quit?!" Nyx cries out in horror as she and Phobos runs back into the House of Pony.

Inside, Twilight and Ben were talking when Nyx and Phobos came in. The filly uses her magic to grab the nearby phone, much to her parents' notice.

"Nyx, what are you doing?" Ben ask his daughter puzzled.

"No time, no time!" Nyx exclaims as she frantically dials in a number. The filly waited then a voice is heard. "Hey, hello! I need to speak to a scientist, this is an emergency to see if a comet is coming by."

"What?!" Twilight and Ben yelp in shock and alarm upon hearing that.

"Hello? Oh, Dr. Hooves, listen, can you confirm that there's going to be a comet the size of an asteroid that is coming right at the House of Pony that could end up wiping it out?" Nyx listens as the others watch in concern. The filly groans, "Ugh, I was hoping you wouldn't say that, but now? How quickly will that asteroid come? In 20 minutes? Can you get here to see where that asteroid is going to land? Really quick! Good! Get to the backstage area of the House of Pony, quick!"

"This is bad, very bad, very bad!" Phobos exclaims as Nyx hangs up the phone. "We're doomed!"

"Nyx! Is it true? Is there a comet shaped like an asteroid coming here to destroy the House of Pony?" Ben ask Nyx seriously and worried.

"Exactly! Phobos and I just saw it!" Nyx exclaims with a quick a nod.

"Guys!" Starlight exclaims as she and Rainbow rushes into the area. "We came as soon as we found out about the comet."

"Wait, how did you find out?"

"Eh, you guys spoke so loudly that the whole club can hear ya." Rainbow points out with a shrug.

"Great, we got to put a stop to this comet! If it destroys the club, it will take months to get the whole place up, and on a site probably too risky to so do on!" Ben said in concern.

"Wait, I got an idea. Let's contact Captain Pinkie-Pants!" Twilight suggests with a hopeful smile.

"Err, mommy? That may not happen." Nyx said uneasily, knowing that Pinkie will not be turning back into Captain Pinkie-Pants anytime soon.

"Yeah, besides, can't you girls do it?" Phobos ask in agreement. "You saved Equestria many times before!"

"True, but I doubt even we, as well as the princesses, can stop a comet that size!" Twilight exclaims as Rainbow flew over and pulls a lever nearby, causing a signal that shows Captain Pinkie-Pants's symbol, a pair of underpants, to appear in the sky. "I'm sure she will see it and come by in no time! I'm going to keep the show going to make sure no one is worry."

"But..." Nyx begins to protest but Twilight rushes back to the stage. It will be bad when they find out no help is coming.

"Well I have to say things are interested but wonder where is Pinkie Pie, I do not know why many think this Captain Pinkie-Pants is better, Pinkie Pie is great because she is who she is." Pinkamena said to Golden with a pouty look.

"Very true, sister." Golden Heart admits with a nod.

"We just have to wait and see what happens next."

Twilight returns to the stage as she smile. The mare spoke, "Time to keep this show going, folks! Captain Pinkie-Pants is busy right now, but until she shows up, let's show a cartoon that we kept under lock and key!"

The audience applauds as the final cartoon of the night begins to play.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A TWILIGHT SPARKLE, RAINBOW DASH AND PINKIE PIE CARTOON

Locksmiths

Twilight and her friends are working once more in their building with a new occupation, which changes each month. This month, they were locksmiths, folks who helped free ponies from their homes when they misplaced their key or if somepony stole their key.

Which probably wouldn't make sense since not every pony in Equestria uses door knobs, but hey, work with me here!

Right now, our favorite trio are entering the building, ready to get to work as they entered their office. With a nod, Rainbow used her wing to push the door to the office closed. Too bad no pony noticed that one of her feathers got the lock in position, locking the office door up as a result.

"Well, it's another day at work, ponies!" Twilight exclaims as she arrives at her desk. "Even if we're beginning the new day."

"Yep! Hopefully we don't have any customers right now. I want a nap." Rainbow sighs, making her two friends chuckle. Even when their Pegasus friend is part of the weather team and Wonderbolts, she prefers to lazy about.

Twilight then notices the light on her desk phone flashing, speaking, "Better nap later, Rainbow. I think we just got a message." The mare pushes a button to check the caller ID. "Hmmm, looks like it was send a few moments ago...oh! And it's from my castle! Ben must've been trying to call me! Did we accidentally lose our keys again or did he, Nyx, Spike, or Phobos got locked inside?"

Twilight pushes the message button as the callback message plays on the answering machine, "Hey! Locksmiths, we smith locks! Sadly, we aren't in the office right now as we are either away from our desk or with another client. So leave a message and we will get back to you pretty fast!"

The phone beeped as Ben's voice was heard, "Hey Twiley! You aren't there yet? Listen, I got something important to tell you...you do remember this is Ben Valorheart, right? Twilight, please call me back! There's something that you must..."

Of course, the phone was heard hanging up. Twilight in concern spoke, "Hoo boy. I hope Ben's all right!" The mare picks up the phone and dials in the number for the castle. "Ben! Hello? You there???"

"Sorry, all the lines are busy right now. Please try again later." A voice on the other end said.

"What?! Busy?! I can't try again later! Ben said it's urgent!"

"This has been a recording."

"You lousy little..." Twilight said, getting ticked off by this.

"Hey, don't yell at the recording, missing." The voice said a bit annoyed by the attention. The mare grabs the phone, preparing to blast it into elimination.

"YELLING! I WILL SHOW YOU, YOU..."

"Do not smash the phone or I will report you to Princess Celestia." The voice said, making Twilight stop what she's doing, looking shocked and confused. "Now be a nice princess and put me down." The mare looks around then put the phone down gently while giving a nervous smile. She has no idea what's going on, but Twilight would rather not chance getting into trouble. "That's right. Good princess..."

After Twilight gently hangs up the phone, the princess turns back to her friends. Pinkie smile as she spoke, "Wow! And I thought I was a random silly pony!"

"We will talk about the mysterious phone later. All the lines are busy so we will have to go back to my castle and see what's wrong." Twilight said as she leaves her desk. "Come on, girls!"

Twilight heads over to the door and tries to turn the knob...only to discover that it wasn't opening! The Alicorn groans as she starts pulling at the door.

"Hey, what's with our door?! It's not opening!" Twilight growls angrily. She pulls so hard on the doorknob that the pony slipped and is send flying at a wall, making a bit dent in it.

"Hmmm." Pinkie said as she checks the door carefully. "I think it's locked."

"LOCKED?! On the inside?! How is that possible?!"

"Oh great. The door must've got put on backwards or something." Rainbow comments as she checks the door carefully. "Why did we ever get doorknobs?!"

"Not good, and these are the kind of knobs that can't be opened with magic!" Twilight groans. Once doorknobs begin being installed, Celestia ordered anti-magic spells on them to keep magic using thieves out. The mare looks on herself. "Now, where did I leave that key?"

"Let's check my keychain!" Pinkie exclaims happily as she took out a key chain that has odd keys on it.

"Okay, Random Pie, whatcha got?" Rainbow ask Pinkie curiously as Twilight groans a b it.

"All right. We got a car key...piano key...skeleton key...keyboard...the key to the city...key lime pie...key to my heart." Pinkie made a blushing squee as she looks at the key that is in the shape of a heart. "Hee hee...ahem, anyway! The Foalida keys, High key, On Key, Off Key, Tric-Key, O-key Do-Key Lo-Key, Don Key-oxte..." The pink pony giggled at the key shaped as a windmill before tossing it aside. "A bit of a stretch....Smo-Key, Ho-Key Po-Key, Mar-Key, Chero-Key, Malar-Key, Fran-Key, Cran-Key, Span-Key, Han-Key Pan-Key, Mon-Key, Don-Key, Para-Key-t..."

Pinkie smiles as she put a hoof behind her back, finishing, "Now brace yourselves...the Twi-Key!" The mare squee as she held out Twilight by the tail...somehow."

"Okay, that pun doesn't make any sense." Twilight groans a bit in disbelief as Rainbow just sighs.

"Eh, well, we don't got the main key, but luckily we still have the spare key just in case."

Sure enough, Pinkie took out a small key from her mane, obviously the spare one to the office. Rainbow grabs it as she snaps, "Give me that, Pinks!"

"Hey, no!" Pinkie exclaims as she tries to grab the key back. "I was given responsibility with it, Dashie!"

The two ponies fight over the key. But in her efforts to get it back, Pinkie ends up smacking the key away from Rainbow, causing it to hit a few points. Twilight saw the key coming and yelps as she ducks to avoid it. The spare key's trip ended...by flying right through the mail slot.

The three ponies yelps. Twilight glares at her friends who looked down in guilt. Nice going! Pinkie reaches through the mail slow in hopes to feel around for the key.

"Okay, I think I can reach it." Pinkie mumbles as her friends watch on in hope. Unknown to the trio, Pinkie's hoof on the other side somehow entered a grater and loops around back into the office. The pink pony felt around and grabs Rainbow's tail. "Ooooh, got it!"

Pinkie happily pulled hardly...but then hears Rainbow screaming in pain. The pink pony blinks as she got her hoof back and saw that she somehow pulled Rainbow's tail right off her flank.

"Hee, hee. Sorry." Pinkie said with a nervous smile as Rainbow growls. She grabs her tail back and stomps off with it.

Once Twilight used magic to reattach Rainbow's tail, the ponies tries again. Rainbow uses a fishing pole as she is aiming at the window on top of the door which is opened. She shakes herself then reels the pole, sending the throw out the window.

As Pinkie and Twilight watched on, the hook latched right onto the key. Rainbow, feeling a tug, smirks as she exclaims, "Oh yeah, got it!"

"Good work, Rainbow! Now be careful!" Twilight advises as she peeks out the mail slot.

"Yep! Don't reel it in too fast, okay?" Pinkie suggests hopefully.

"Please, you act like I never fished before!" Rainbow boasts as she begins to reel it in. "Say, egghead? How come you just can't levitate the key to the door lock?"

"Because it will ruin the plot, silly!"

Twilight watches as the key begins to get reeled in, but to her concern, it begins to circle around. The Alicorn turns to see her friends fighting over the pole. The princess, sighing, came over to put an end to the battle, only to somehow end up being in it as all mares begins tugging at the pole, trying to reel the key in.

Then things really got crazy. The fishing line with the key attached somehow entered an elevator and went down, hopping out of the building and tied itself to a running truck which begins rushing past a dog sniffing a fire hydrant...and for some reason, the latter got blown off, causing the dog to take the hydrant's place.

The line went past Doctor Hooves who was putting a letter in the mailbox when the truck speed pasts him, resulting in the Earth pony to now be wearing the mailbox, causing him to spit the letters out of his mouth. It also went past Spoiled Rich who was jogging until the speed, somehow got her and her clothes caught in a clothesline.

Now it speeds past Sweet Apple Acres, causing a bird house off its perch. Applejack came out to see what's going on then yelps as the bird house landed on her head, resulting in the cowpony to shoot her tongue out as if she's a cuckoo clock.

Long story short, despite everything, somehow the trio ended up reeling in a big trout. And somehow, the spare was likely lost forever now. Hoo boy.

"Well, we shouldn't give up, ponies." Twilight said as she looks at her friends who are still trying to think up a way to get out of the office. "Don't forget, we're the best locksmiths in Ponyville!"

As Rainbow and Pinkie watches, their friend took out a mane pin and heads towards the door. She got the work on jamming the hairpin in and sure enough, she heard the door unlocked. Twilight smiles as she opens the door and...

There's another door with a handle, much to her confusion. Twilight pull opened that door and finds...another door, this time it's a wooden one with the same handle. The princess frowns as she pulls at that door. The next door is a circular handle in the middle.

Twilight turns that said door to find...an Hawaiian like door. With a groan, the Alicorn opens that door to reveal a brick door! Twilight opens that door to reveal...

"Still locked, you know!" A talking doorknob remarks to Twilight.

"Not for long!" Twilight scowls as she grabs the doorknob and opens him up. And sure enough, there's another door behind him that is a blind.

With a sigh, Twilight pulls up the blind and...well, what do you know! There's another door with a safe lock on it! Twilight opens that door and finds...well, you probably knows it, but there's a bunch of doors. The princess begins open an assortment of doors pretty faster, each one is different than the last.

Soon a door opens up to reveal Caramel taking a bath. The stallion notices and yelps in alarm. Twilight in alarm shuts all the doors and locks the whole thing back up. That was embarrassing.

"Wrong pick." Twilight said to Rainbow and Pinkie with a sheepish smile.

"Okay, after all that, even these doors' reality are tame compared to Pinkie's." Rainbow said, weirded out about this.

"Oooh, I do have an idea! Maybe we can call another Locksmith to help out!" Pinkie exclaims happily, having an idea. The mare bounces over to look into a nearby phone book. She smiles upon seeing something. "Oh, found a good locksmith! I will call right now!"

Pinkie grabs her own cell phone and begins to call...and suddenly, at the same time, the ponies heard their phone ringing. Pinkie with a smile picks up the phone, answering, "Hello?" Pinkie turns back to her cell phone, answering, "Oh, hey there! I'm looking for a locksmith!" The pony turns back to the office phone and smiles. "You got the right place, lady! We're the best locksmiths in Ponyville!"

Needless to say, Pinkie shook her head in shock, frowns as she turns back to her cellphone and her phone at the same time. The Earth Pony scowls, "Hey, no way! We're the best locksmiths in Ponyville! Oh yeah, says who?! Says me, you dumb pony! Oh, so that's what you say! That's what I said all right! Well, you don't need to be a rudey wudey pants! RUDEY WUDEY PANTS?! OH I WILL SHOW YOU WHOâ€™S RUDE!!!"

Pinkie hangs up her cell phone angrily then turns back to the office phone in shock. The pony frowns as she hangs up the phone saying, "Well, girls, here's an idea. Let's never call those locksmiths, EVER."

Her friends groans in disbelief. Rainbow slaps herself on the face, asking, "Pinkie, you do realized that you just called our office and had an argument with yourself just now, right?"

"Really? No wonder I sounded so familiar..."

It was a few moments later as the girls tried one more tactic. Pinkie had just put a football helmet on and stood stomach flat on a rotating stool as her friends nodded.

"One more shot, girls. If this doesn't get us out, then we quit!" Twilight exclaims in determination. She and Rainbow held onto Pinkie as they begin backing her up. "1, 2, 3....CHARGE! FOR US!!"

Twilight and Rainbow charged Pinkie right towards the door...and went through it as they flipped the door. Unfortunately, around that same time, the elevator across the office opens up. Derpy was in it with a bouncing trampoline for some reason in front of her. The trio hits it, sending the girls off the sideways trampoline back into the office and into a filing cabinet.

Surprisingly, this send the cabinet with the girls in it right out of the office and is sending towards the ground. The girls got out of the cabinet. Twilight looking around smiles as she said, "Ha! What did I tell ya? We got out!"

"Err, Twilight?" Pinkie ask nervously as she looks down. "You may not wanna look down."

Too late, Rainbow and Twilight looks down and saw that they, along with Pinkie and the cabinet are about to hit the ground. The first two jumps into the cabinet, but Pinkie's drawer was already shut without her in it! The pink pony frantically tries to open it, to no prevail. Luckily, when Pinkie feels like she's going to die, Twilight's cabinet drawer opens with her using her magic to grab her friend and pulls her inside.

The cabinet hits the ground hard, making a hole shaped like in it the progress. A few moments later, a nearby sewer grate opens as Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie got out, feeling dizzy. But at least they finally got out.

Just then, the girls heard ringing, turning to see Ben arriving in the car for ponies. The stallion spoke, "Twilight, there you are!"

"Wait, Ben? You aren't locked up in the castle?" Twilight asked her love in confusion.

"Uh, Twilight? We don't even have a door knob, remember?"

"Oh yeah, silly me."

"I was trying to call you but Koga pulled at the phone line and I have trouble getting it back in. Anyway, you left your office key at the castle again." Ben said as he pulled out a familiar key and gave it to a shocked Twilight who gave a nervous smile to her annoyed friends.

"Oops. I guess I must've left in a hurry and forgot to grab it." Twilight said nervously.

"Yeah, I think the only door knob was a silly idea to begin it. You should get that removed from your office door."

"Yeah, we're considering it." Rainbow remarks with an annoyed sigh.

"To be honest, I thought this ending was a little...DOOR-key." Pinkie said with an amused smirk, making her friends groan at the bad pun. "What?"

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon was done, the audience applauds happily. It was another good one!

The mood backstage however was a different story. Twilight and Ben looks at the door in concern. Captain Pinkie-Pie should be here by now!

"Don't bother, she isn't coming." Nyx said to her parents with a gloomy sighs nearby.

"She got to come, we need her!" Twilight exclaims hopefully. Just then, a knock is heard, much to her hope. "CAPTAIN PINKIE-PANTS!"

The door opened but it was Doctor Hooves who came in, saying, "Sorry, just the scientist you hired. I came here to talk about the comet!"

"Oh, well, come on in. We could use some information and hope right now."

Pinkie was nearby, watching in a depressed mood, flat mane and tail and all. She heard about the comet, but is she going to help? Nope, the Earth pony doesn't care! The hero game is over for her!

Doctor Hooves was looking at a monitor which was set up while Twilight, Ben, Rainbow, Starlight, Nyx and Phobos watch in concern. Pinkie was there, though she just frown, not caring at ALL.

"Not good, not good. A meteor is coming. Captain Pinkie-Pants is not showing. Not good!" Twilight whimpered in concern. She turns to Pinkie with a hopeful look. "Pinkie? You wouldn't happen to know where Captain Pinkie-Pants is by any chance, would you?"

"Ha! Captain Pinkie-Pants this, Captain Pinkie-Pants that, I am sick of hearing about that brat! Everyone thinks she's so special!" Pinkie growls angrily to Twilight. Hearing that horrified the princess as she runs around.

"Pinkie! There's a comet about to destroy the House of Pony, how can you be jealous of Captain Pinkie-Pants at a critical moment like this?! Not good, not good, not good AHHHHHHH!!!!"

Twilight frantically rushes into her dressing room, closing the door and most likely to hide under the bed. Ben sighs, "Twilight is often paranoid big time."

"Tell me about it. At least Fluttershy got over that a long time ago...I think." Rainbow remarks with a shrug.

"My, that comet is a beaut." Doctor Hooves comments in amusement as he looks at the incoming comet on the monitor. "Topo bad it's going to destroy Ponyville."

"But why is that comet coming to destroy us all?" Nyx ask the Earth pony in concern.

"Well, my guess is that it's not an ordinary comet, but one made by a powerful Demon of great power." Doctor Hooves said thoughtfully. "Made out by a power of Tartarus."

"Like Grimmore?!" Phobos yelps in shock and worry.

"Precisely."

"Ugh! I knew we should've send him an invite!" Ben groans out as he slaps himself on the forehead. "But we didn't invite him because he scares the hay out of everypony, including the bad guys!"

"And according to my calculations, the meteor will end up striking right...." Doctor Hooves said. He repeated the word as he draw a line through the room, going through one door and out the other, then finishing by putting an X on Brian's flank as he was drinking some water. "...here!"

"Gah! It's going to hit me?!" Brian screams out in shock and alarm as he turns around, covering his own flank.

"Celestia, no! But you may be the first to go when the meteorite hit!"

"Wait, what?!" Pinkie cries out in horror upon hearing that. Brian, her beloved Brian, will be the first to go?! "But can't the powers of the princesses, the other ponies, whatever stop it?!"

"Unfortunately, no, this meteor is so powerful, probably made by Grimmore himself, that no Alicorn magic or any other magic in Equestria can stop it. The only way to put a stop to the comet now is someone who has powers similar to the comet can do so." Doctor Hooves explains. Hearing that made Pinkie thoughtfully.

"Uh, by any chance, if a small meteorite, like the one from the comet, were to say hit a bowl of chips, and a pony were to eat one, would he or she get the same power enough to, say, stop that meanie comet???"

"Well, yes, that could work. Unfortunately, unless somepony were to have the same powers, nice knowing you."

Pinkie looks around, seeing everyone in the room scared. The pink pony looks down in shame. Pinkie was so busy of being jealous of dismissing her own secret identify, that she has forgotten what it was like to be a hero...to help others!

"Err, can you excuse me for a moment?" Pinkie ask with a determined frown as she rushes outside.

Nyx and Phobos followed the pink pony outside. The concerned filly ask, "Auntie Pinkie Pie?"

"Nyx, Phobos, I was a selfish jealous pants earlier! I was upset how ponies like Captain Pinkie-Pants over me that I should've known that it's nice to accept who you are...even when a pony you like would be killed first!"

"So wait, you're going back to being Captain Pinkie-Pants?" Phobos ask Pinkie hopefully.

"Come on, we got a world to save, Wolfie!" Pinkie laughs happily. Nyx put her sidekick costume with an excited smile. Her honorable auntie has decided to do the right thing.

"All right! Now we're going to see some action! Let's go get those...GAH!"

The girls turned to see why Phobos yelled like that. To their shock, a garbage truck lifts up a garbage can, the same one that Pinkie threw the chips into earlier...and spilling them right into the garbage dumpster!

"No, my power chips!" Pinkie cries out. To the trio's surprise, once the garbage truck got the chips, it begins acting weirdly before spinning around, turning into a superhero with a cape and underwear. It flew off into the distance. "Huh. Well, that's silly."

"Does it matter how silly it is?! The power source is gone, Captain Pinkie-Pants no longer exists!" Phobos groans out in despair.

For a moment, it looks like all hope is lost...but Nyx remembers something as she opens her saddle bag, taking out a familiar chip.

"Wait, not all of it!" Nyx exclaims, taking out a familiar chip. "Good thing we kept the one that fell out while you were putting the chips into that magic satchel place earlier!"

"Thanks, Nyxie!" Captain Pinkie-Pants giggles as she took the Power Slice from Nyx. "Well, this will truly be the last heroic night for Captain Pinkie-Pants, so may as well make it a good one!"

Pinkie tosses the chip into her mouth. Sure enough, the mare begins spinning around and soon, the pony is in her underwear and cape, smiling bravely.

"TRA-LA-LAAAAAA!" Pinkie exclaims happily with a determined look. "Salty too, hee hee!"

"Go get them!" Nyx and Phobos cheers as the mare flew up to the roof top of the House of Pony.

Back inside the House of Pony, Golden Heart cringes as he said, "Sister, we best brace ourselves when that comet hits."

Pinkamena however smirks as she spoke, "Everything will be alright. Besides if the logic of this world is connected, then we have nothing to worry about."

Pinkie looks around, that comet should be here any moment.

"Here, comet, comet, comet!" Pinkie whistles a bit. "Come to Pinkie!"

As if on cue, the comet comes in close. Pinkie, seeing, held up her hooves, but it ended up pushing the super heroine downward, destroying the roof and making Pinkie lands on Brian who yelps as he tries to help in his own way. Nyx and Phobos peeks into the room as she lifts the comet as best as she could.

Sure enough, Pinkie flew upward with the comet, taking it back to the roof. With a laugh, the super heroine tosses it right into the air very fast.

"And it's out of here!" Nyx laughs as Phobos cheers on wildly. Brian smiles eagerly as Captain Pinkie-Pants lands right near him. "How far did you threw it?"

"So far, it will threw right into Tartarus...and lands right on Grimmore's silly head." Pinkie remarks. Suddenly, a loud angry roar is heard from far away. "Like that!"

Pinkamena spoke at her table in amusement, "I told you we be alright, big brother."

"I guess I should listen to you more often with this kind of stuff." Golden Heart said in amazement that Pinkamena was right.

"Awesome, looks like the world and me was saved thanks to Captain Pinkie-Pants!" Brian exclaims eagerly. "Rarity will be thrilled to get this on Twitter!"

"Yeah, I know. You also should thank Wolfie, the PJ Wonder for getting me here. I was sort of a depressed pony for a while, but she snapped me out of it. So, I was wondering...wanna go to the movies with me?" Pinkie ask hopefully to Brian.

"Err, not to be rude, but no."

"Wait, what?! "But didn't I saved your life and all that?!"

"Listen, I know you saved my life and all that, and I'm really flattered...but you're too dangerous to be around, especially in your underwear!" Brian explains, confusing Pinkie some more. "Besides, I got a marefriend, Pinkie Pie!"

"Wait, wait. But you told me that she was poor, silly, regular, random," Pinkie said in confusion, reminding the stallion what he said about her earlier.

"Oh, I was making a comparison, ponies do that all the times and I didn't say it to be mean. Anyway, I already have a date with her next Saturday for the movies."

"Wait, wait. Hang on. You do? Err, but I overheard Pinkie saying how you were busy checking your schedule and..."

"Right, as in my work schedule!" Brain chuckles, motioning to a bulletin board that had the names of the gang who worked at the club and their shifts. "I got a free day Saturday, along with Pinkie, as there isn't a show that week. Wait, what does she think I meant???"

Pinkie started in shock, glancing at Nyx and Phobos who gave smirks to her. The pink pony then gave a secret sigh of relief. All that was a case of miscommunication.

"Aww, never mind. I'm sure she will be happy to hear the news." Pinkie said, giving a secret blush to Brian.

"Thanks for everything, Captain Pinkie-Pants! I gotta find Pinkie! See ya!" Brian exclaims happily as he heads off to find Pinkie, unaware that she is in the room.

"See, Auntie Pinkie Pie?" Nyx ask Pinkie with a grin. "Told ya it was a case of misunderstanding."

"Yeah. I supposed you're right. And I did overreact." Pinkie said, giving a hug to Nyx. "Thanks for helping me out, Nyxie!"

"Hey, that's what I'm here for! Squee!"

The audience was applauding as Twilight, Pinkie, and Nyx, the last two are in their super heroine disguises, were on stage. The Alicorn smiled, she has already explained about what happened to the audience, especially with how Pinkie-Pants was able to save the world.

As everyone gave big rounds of applause of the smiling Captain Pinkie-Pants, Pinkamena comments, "Well another show of House of Pony has come and gone."

"Indeed little sister." Golden Heart said in agreement.

"Well, we will be here on the next House of Pony episode, but till then hope you all enjoyed this episode."

"Well, Captain Pinkie-Pants and Wolfie, the PJ Wonder, I got to say, that on the behalf of Equestria and the House of Pony, thanks for saving us." Twilight said with a smile.

"No problem." Wolfie said happily. "Sadly, Captain Pinkie-Pants and I gotta leave Equestria for a while."

"Wait, what? Why?"

"Awww, it's nothing personal, it's just, where I'm from, I'm powered by a certain power source, AKA a radioactive chip. I unfortunately ran out of that source and I used up the last source that I have." Captain Pinkie-Pants said, coming up with a story for this. "My sidekick and I have to go back for more. Not sure how long we will be gone, but until we find our source, this is the last you will see of us! Don't feel too bad...you and your friends can still keep Equestria saved. And thus, the day is saved...and we gotta leave!"

"I understand. But will we see you again?" Twilight ask the two hopefully, unaware that she will, just not knowing it.

"Relax, Twiley, you just may." Wolfie said with a nod, hiding a smile.

And with that, Captain Pinkie-Pants takes Wolfie by the hoof as the two flies off, with Twilight watching as everyone applauded. And unknown to everyone, the two quickly arrives at the quiet corner of the kitchen area just as the powers ran out, changing Pinkie back to normal. The two waited until Brian is coming out on stag with Twilight before they ditch their disguises to return to their real identifies.

"Wow, those two are great heroes." Twilight said with a smile. "I sure hope we do see them again..."

"Well, maybe not Wolfie, but I got one idea that Captain Pinkie-Pants is closer than one may think." Brian said thoughtfully as Phobos came over as Nyx was finishing getting out of her sidekick outfit. "Remember what Captain Pinkie-Pants said what her power source was, some chips? I recalled seeing Nyx carrying a bowl of those things out of the kitchen today. She said it was for a certain Earth pony friend of hers whose family works on a farm! I put two and two together and I believe I now know who Captain Pinkie-Pants really is!"

Pinkie's eyes light up in surprise while Nyx and Phobos listens in. Could it be that they figured out whom Captain Pinkie-Pants really is?

"Wait, hang on! Pinkie...chips...Earth pony whose family work on a farm...Captain Pinkie-Pants...yes, of course, it all makes sense now! Captain Pinkie-Pants is really none other than..." Twilight begins to gasp in excitement. Pinkie smiles a bit as Nyx and Phobos look on in surprise. Could it be...

"APPLEJACK!" Brian and Twilight exclaims at once in excitement.

"Wait, what?" Pinkie ask in confusion. They think Applejack was Captain Pinkie-Pants?!

Back in the electronic booth, Applejack was working, eating from a bag of chips, when she overheard what Twilight and Brian just said. The mare looks confused as she spoke, "Well, wait! I is Captain Pinkie-Pants?! Well, great apples! And I done don't recall even leaving the booth all night! Amazing!"

Back below, Pinkie looks shocked as a groaning Nyx spoke, "Give me a break! How could mommy and Uncle Brian not get it?!"

"Yeah, we should tell them!" Phobos exclaims in annoyance.

"Nah, let them linger on it just a moment longer." Pinkie said, stopping Phobos as she shrugs. "Besides, not like Captain Pinkie-Pants will show up again in this series anyway."

"Fine. If you say so."

Back on stage, Spike smiles as he concludes the show with the usual advertisement, "Today's randomness has been brought to you by..."

"Pinkie Pie University! You got it, here are Pinkie U., our students learn all the necessary skills to be world class silly fillies, just like falling down!"

We see a still picture of Pinkie slipping, crashing into stuff.

"Getting back up, then falling down again!"

Pinkie is seen slipping and falling on another picture.

"Falling down, getting up, then...well, you get the idea!"

Sure enough, three still pictures show Pinkie falling down stairs, getting up, then falling down once more.

"And every graduate learns to laugh like a pony!"

We can hear Pinkie giggling as we see a still image of her in teacher clothes showing a classmate a chalkboard with her laugh written right on it.

"And thus, when you're ready to be random, go to Pinkie U!"

Pinkie is now riding a wheelchair past a title, but then got run over by something offscreen as one of the wheelchair's wheels bounced back onscreen.

As that happened, Spike is heard speaking in a low voice, "Caution, not responsible for bruises, concussions or broken bones."

Once the advertisement is over, Twilight grins as she spoke, "All right, ponies, that's all for today! See you real soon!"

Author's Note

House of Pony: Season 2

Episode Twenty-Four: Zephyr Breeze Flies In

Ever since the previous episode, no one figured out whom Captain Pinkie-Pants or her sidekick Wolfie, the PJ Wonder really was. Which probably was for the best as these heroes were never seen again. Of course, Pinkie and Nyx would expect another small comet hitting a bowl of chips to make more of the power, so Captain Pinkie-Pants may come back.

Twilight one time asked Pinkie why there was a bowl of chips near the back door area of the club every night. The pink mare happily suggested not to worry about it...so they didn't.

The show still went on. So despite how weird the staff or audience gets, Twilight enjoys the shows. And she often knew how polite and courteous both the audience and any special guest she invites are.

However, a certain guest, a certain brother of Fluttershy's, ended up being a hooful and being rude to everyone, but let's tell that story, shall we?

As Spike makes his introduction, he grins, "All right, and direct from Ponyville, here's TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!"

As Spike leaves, the audience applauds as Twilight who flies around, laughing before landing. She giggles, "Hey, everypony! Welcome to the coolest place in Equestria, which is our very own..."

"HOUSE OF PONY!" The audience yells out while cheering.

"Right, okay! Today, we got some new cartoons coming up. Along with our special guest stars, the Rockin' Beats! So hang on tight, ponies!"

The audience applauded in excitement. Hopefully this will be another great show Twilight is throwing here!

At this time, Ben, Rarity, Brian, Applejack, Fluttershy, Nyx, Phobos, Spike, Rainbow, Starlight, Sunburst, and two Bushwoolies were gathered around. Ben has just put up a "Welcome!" Wreath nearby for some reason.

"Say, where's Pinkie?" Phobos ask, noticing that Pinkie is missing.

"Oh, mommy send Auntie Pinkie over to another club to see how it looks. Something called "House of Cowdog" or something." Nyx explains to her friend. "She won't be in today at the moment."

"So what else is new?"

"All right, everypony. I got an announcement. I called you all here because I recently got a call from royalty." Ben announced to the others with a nod. "They send a delegate here to visit the House of Pony."

"So wait, what kind of royalty are we talking about here?" Starlight ask Ben curiously.

"The Mystic Ponies, of course."

"Mystic Ponies?! Wow, tell us!" Brian exclaims eagerly to Ben. It's a shame that Pinkie won't be here to see this...maybe she will experience what's going on over at the House of Cowdog.

"Shoot, will this pony require special lighting?" asked Applejack curiously.

"What will he like to eat?" Fluttershy ask eagerly.

"So don't keep us in stitches, darling." Rarity said to Ben eagerly. "Who is this Mystic Pony?"

"Well, to be honest, it's only a delegate as the Mystic Pony cannot make it, but at least try to treat the delegate like royalty." Ben explains to the others with a smile. "Second, the Mystic Pony himself is none other than councilpony Cunning Fury."

"So if it isn't him, who is Cunning Fury sending?" Sunburst ask Ben curiously.

"It is none other than his mane dresser...Zephyr Breeze!"

Upon hearing that, most of the staff looks shocked and alarm. Fluttershy gasped, "My brother?! Zephyr is coming here?!"

"And since when he is Cunning Fury's mane dresser?" Nyx ask a bit confused.

"Well, after Rainbow, Terrorcreep, Sour Sweet and I were able to help Zephyr fixed up Cunning Fury's mane, the Mystic Pony councilpony hired him to be his mane dresser...as long as he doesn't mess up. Hee hee."

"Yeah, I bet." Phobos remarked dryly. Even he knows that Zephyr Breeze will do better not to tick off his new employer! "But was it JusSonic's universe or Nigel's?"

"Eh, whatever worked." Ben said with a chuckle. "Cunning Fury send him here as a delegate...though I think he just wants him out of his mane for a while. He will definitely rock this house."

"Well, hopefully he doesn't mess up our place." Brian said thoughtfully. "Fluttershy's brother was always a big troublemaker."

"Well, whatever we think of him or not, no mess-ups. I preferred not to have another royal incident like what happened he last time. Right, Rainbow Dash?!"

Rainbow yelped nervously as she recalled what happened the last time she started a royal incident.

Flashback

"So I get a kiss from my special someone?" Dragon Lord Ember ask as she is wearing a blindfold.

"You got it. Now pucker up." Rainbow giggled happily as she held up Spike who looks bewildered.

"Wait, what are you...hey!" Spike protests as Rainbow turns him around and leans his butt towards Ember's puckering lips...which she kissed without realizing it! "Whoa!"

End Flashback

"Aww, come on! It was meant to be a joke!" Rainbow protests with a frown as she snaps out of it.

"It wasn't funny when Ember realized what she was kissing and almost burn the whole club down!" Starlight scolded Rainbow, reminding her what happened afterwards.

"Well, Spike seemed to like it!"

"Err, no, not really...my brother likes her...yeah." Spike said, giving out a warm blush on his face, making the others chuckled a bit.

"All right, enough! I want everypony to be on their best behavior, got it?" Ben ask the others who gave a slight silent pause. With a smile, the Earth pony continues, "All right, now to review our House of Pony policy for royal guests or delegates. Nyx?"

Nyx nodded as she picks up the rules clipboard to speak, "First off, be polite and well-behaved. Second, always refer to royalty or royal subjects as sir or madam. Okay, anyone got any questions?"

"Yeah, I got a question!" A voice spoke up. Nyx yelps as a hoof grabbed the clipboard and tossed it aside. Everyone turns to see Fluttershy's brother Zephyr Breeze nearby, smirking. "Hey, where's the mare of the Club, as in Twilight Sparkle?"

Fluttershy, breathing in and out, left and came back with a couple of cupcakes on a plate. She breaths, mumbling, "Greetings, sir or madam..."

"Aww, big sis, you know me, no need for the curtesy!" Zephyr laughs as he grabs the cupcakes and shoved them into his mouth. "Yeah, Cunning Fury was nice to send me to check this place out. I really wanna meet Twilight Sparkle!"

"Zephyr! You met Twilight at the castle, remember?"

"Yeah, but I heard she is one cool pony to hang with!"

"Right. So welcome to my club, your Highness's delegate." Rainbow said, grinding her teeth as she bowed down to Fluttershy's brother. The mare has trouble putting up with him, but as he is royalty sort of, the mare got to avoid another royal incident like last time.

"Your club? Oh, come on, Rainbow Crash! Everyone knows this place is the princess's club! As much as I like ya, move aside because I wanna speak to Twilight!" Zephyr laughed as she threw Rainbow aside, causing her to growl in annoyance. He laughs while flying up to the ceiling, swinging from a light figure. "Oh yeah! I can see everything from up here!"

"Err, hey, Zephyr Freeze? Hey..." Ben begins to speak. But Fluttershy's brother just flew over and landed on a Twilight Sparkle head fixture which was covering Rarity's desk. The white unicorn yelped as she held her autograph book just as the horn part landed on her, covering Rarity's whole desk. Zephyr laughs as he slides right down.

"Oh yeah, this is going to be a party! I think I'm going to love it!"

Zephyr Breeze then begins to heads off towards the audience while giving a small humming sound. Everyone stood there in concern.

"Huh." Starlight said in concern. "This is the rudest pony that we ever had to be polite to..."

"Yes, and I thought he learned his lesson during his failing experience." Fluttershy sighs as she shakes her head.

Ben could only nod. He knew that he gotta tell Twilight about this.

At her table, Pinkamena notices Zephry and comments, "Well something tells me Zephyr Breeze will be causing much trouble. We best be ready for it."

"Understood Little sister." Golden Heart said in agreement.

It was a while later as Ben and Fluttershy talk with Twilight about happened including Zephyr Breeze in the backstage area.

"Well, luckily no one was hurt." Ben said with a sigh. "But it's going to be hard to try to even speak to Zephyr Breeze."

"Well, I'm sure he meant no harm, right?" Twilight ask with a smile. "No worries. I'm sure he won't be causing any further delays to our show."

"Well, Zephyr Breeze is going to make any further trouble on our show, that's for sure." Fluttershy said in concern. "Oh, speaking of delays..."

"Better move along yourself." Ben finished as he pointed a hoof to a clock on the wall. " We got a show to do, remember?"

"Oh right, thanks for reminding me!" Twilight exclaims in alarm. The Alicorn gallops back onto the stage and into the spotlight. "Hey, ponies! Dig this crazy cartoon, which is based off a very classic one!"

The audience applauds as the first cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A RARITY CARTOON

Based on the classic Mickey Mouse short 'Mickey and the Seal'

'RARITY & THE DIAMOND DOG"

It was a regular late morning in Equestria. At a local shelter, Rarity was there, spending her time being generous as she likes to be. She just bought a few steaks to feed to the Diamond Dogs over at their cage.

Rarity grins at the Diamond Dogs there barking and having fun. Unlike the ones that once captured the mare to use her to hunt for gems, these are very nice dogs.

Rarity whistles to get some of the dogs' attention before taking a steak out from a basket that the mare has with her. She waves the food item, causing the Diamond Dogs to bark excitedly. Rarity then throws it into the air as the Diamond Dogs looks ready to catch their meal.

But the one who got the steak is a little Diamond Dog who jumps high into the air and caught it in his mouth before landing, swallowing the treat in one bit. The Diamond Do known as Nemo looks towards Rarity and dances in delight dances in pure delight.

"My, just a friendly little Diamond Dog." Rarity said with a smile. Rarity pulls out another steak, throwing it towards Nemo who caught it and ate the steak in one gulp. With a smile, the Diamond Dog hops up and down, dancing again. He looks towards the unicorn, barking at her from the cage. "Sorry, little guy. That's all for today."

Rarity turns around, heading off, but in the progress, she has forgotten about the basket. Nemo saw it and grins as he jumps up and out of his cage, slipping out and going right into the picnic basket. Nemo wants to go along.

"Oh dear, almost forgot something!" Rarity exclaims, realizing that she has forgotten her basket. The mare turns around and uses her magic to float it, unaware of the passenger, over to her. "Mustn't forget this, oh no."

Rarity then heads off, unaware of the little stowaway.

It was two hours later as Rarity came back home. Upon entering, the unicorn is greeted by her cat Opalscence or Opal for short.

"Greetings, Opal darling," Rarity said happily. The cat jumps at her, licking at the pony like a dog. "Oh wow, take it easy, darling! I guess you were anxious to see me today." Opal follows his owner into the kitchen where she puts the picnic basket down onto the table. Upon seeing her cat giving a hopeful look to her, Rarity spoke, "Sorry, Opal; Nothing in there for you today."

Opalsence gave a rather disappointed look as Rarity leaves the kitchen. After a good day, the unicorn has a plan to take a little bath. Opal prepares to head off to take a bath...when she hears barking, making her stopped to look around. Where is that barking coming around?

To the cat's surprise, the lids of the basket were lifting up by themselves, causing Opal to jump up at the table to get a closer look. She saw a pair of eyes coming from inside, making her meow and jumped up in fright. At that moment, Nemo came crawling out and begins walking around, barking a bit.

Opal's eyes widened as she meows while running upstairs. Rarity needs to know about this!

Speaking of the unicorn, Rarity was in her bathroom as she turns the water on for the bath. Opal rushes in and meows like mad, jumping up and down. Rarity looks concerned as her car flaps her around as best as she could.

"Opal, darling, are you feeling okay?" Rarity asks Opal in concern.

Opal quickly rushes out, expecting Rarity to follow her. She just shrugs it and glances at the water which is filling up the tub nicely. The white unicorn prepares to turn the water off, but then Opal came back in, jumping up and down, flapping her arms while making her meows sounds like barks.

"Opal, are you sick?" Rarity asks Opal who groans while shaking her head. She runs out of the room making Rarity sighs. May as well see what's wrong with her cat.

Nemo hears Opal growling causing the Diamond Dog to jump back into the basket, making the cat jumped in after her. The good news for Nemo is due to his small size, he got out of the basket easily before rushing off and heading upstairs. Opal wasn't so lucky as her head was stuck in the basket, causing the cat to run around, making a mess as a progress.

"OPAL," A familiar voice yells out angrily. Opal stopped as she lifts the basket from her eyes. Rarity came downstairs to see what's wrong and saw this mess. "Look what you did to the kitchen! Now I got this mess to deal with when I'm done with my bath!" Opal jumps up and down, trying to bark which came out as meows. Rarity frowns as she points to the door, not wanting to hear it, "Outside, now!"

Opal cringes and headed towards the door. Her owner thinks that she has made this mess. However, she tries to bark one more time in hope to convince her.

"OUT, GET OUT!" Rarity snaps in annoyance, causing the cat to yelp. She threw off the basket and rushes outside.

Once outside, Opal frowns as she take a look through the window. That trouble making Diamond Dog has to be in here somewhere.

Now back upstairs in the bathroom, Nemo spotted the door opened and came inside. The white basin got his curiosity as he came over to take a look. The Diamond Dog barks happily to see that it's filled with water. Nemo dipped a toe inside then barks happily. The right temperature! So Nemo happily jumps into the bathtub, beginning to swim underwater.

At that moment, Rarity came inside and closes the door, locking it in case Opal decided to come back inside anyway. With a smile, she enters the water to relax, preparing to sit down. But the unicorn yelps as she felt something brushing her to the side. Rarity reaches him and pulls out a back scrubber. She must've almost sat on it!

With a shrug, Rarity grabs the soap and uses her magic to scrub the brush with it. Unknown to the unicorn, Nemo popped out of the water and looks at the unaware unicorn in curiosity. She then put the brush behind her own back, unaware that she had put it near the Diamond Dog, beginning to push it on her back while scrubbing Nemo unknowingly.

Although a bit annoyed at first, Nemo smiles as the gentle bristles that was scrubbing his body with the soap was relaxing, causing him to rubbed against the brush.

Of course, Rarity felt something off as she took the brush off the Diamond Dog's back, giving a puzzled look at it. Weird, the unicorn's back wasn't getting the brush for some reason, Rarity tries once more, only to once again unknowingly allowing Nemo behind her to enjoy the soapy brush, getting himself clean in many areas.

Rarity puzzled as she took the brush in front of herself to examine it. The mare blinks as she turns around, only for Nemo to dives back into the soapy water before she could see him. Blinking, Rarity uses her magic to get the soap to use it on the brush once more. Unknown to her, of course, the baby Diamond Dog chose that time to popped back up and blocks the brush, getting his head soaped up.

Nemo popped back down in time as Rarity put the brush before her back to scrubbed it, making her sigh in relief. She whistled a bit, turning her head back in front.

Nemo once again appears behind Rarity as she put the brush aside, shuffling the soap on her hooves as she begins cleaning under her upper arms. With a smile, the Diamond Dog takes the brush and begins brushing Rarity's head with it. This caught the unicorn's attention but looks puzzled as she looks at her hooves in confusion. What's going on here?

Rarity quickly tries to grab the brush with her hooves, only for both it and Nemo to disappear underwater. The white unicorn looks around in more confusion. Something is not right here!

Outside, Opal climbs up to the side towards the bathroom window, peeking in to see Rarity taking her bath, then gasp upon seeing Nemo in the tub with her. And of course, the white unicorn was busy searching the water in confusion, not turning around and seeing Nemo behind herself.

Opal meows like crazy as she taps the window to get Rarity's attention. The mare notices her doing so then frowns as she pulls the curtain down. She is in no mood for her cat's antics right now!

"Now then, where is that brush?" Rarity sighs as she looks around.

To Rarity's surprise, the back brush suddenly popped up right in front of her. She frowns and tries to grab it, only for the brush to disappear under the water. Rarity searched around the water carefully, then grabbed what she believes to be the brush and pulls it out...

Rarity screams in alarm as she saw that it isn't the brush that she's pulling but something's foot which isn't her own! The mare jumps out of the tub quickly, something is in there with her!

Rarity popped the brush bobbing up and down on its own, following by a paw popping up, making the mare yelps. She grabs a chair with her magic, preparing to raise it to take out whatever is in the tub with her. Rarity then proceeds in pulling out the stopping to drain all the water out, then she raises the chair even higher as the water drained out quickly.

But to Rarity's surprise, she saw a familiar Diamond Dog brushing himself with the brush, looking up and dancing happily.

"Well, what do you know? Looks like some nice Diamond Dog has followed me home!" Rarity giggled while smiling. She picks Nemo up, he must've snuck home with her when she wasn't looking. Must be what Opal was trying to follow her.

Just then, Rarity hears knocking and meowing at the door, causing her to open it. Sure enough, a panicked Opal rushes into the bathroom and jumped into the empty tub, only for her to smack her head against it, before sliding back and forth in it.

"Opal, darling; you aren't going to believe what followed me home." Rarity giggled as Opal shakes her head. She spots the Diamond Dog and widened her eyes, before hissing at Nemo. She was about to pounce when Rarity stopped her. "No, Opal! He was merely a harmless Diamond Dog, not like those brutes who used to capture me. He's a cute little fellow. What do you think, shall we keep him?"

Upon hearing that, Opal looks shocked then hisses angrily. Rarity chuckles, "Well, you're right. We can't keep him. He isn't even ours. We will take the Diamond Dog back; the shelter is probably looking for him right now."

Opal, hearing that, brightens up and rushes out of the room, coming back with the basket with her mouth. Rarity laughs. Well, that's one way of taking Nemo back!

A couple of hours later, Rarity and Opal came back to the shelter with Nemo in the basket. It was closing hours, but Rarity informs the owner of the place of the mix-up. Luckily, he was understanding and agrees to let Rarity put the Diamond Dog back into its cage. After all, Nemo was always trying to get out of his cage to get more find and/or make some mischief. Happens all the time!

Rarity and Opal brings the basket over to the cage, the cat put the basket down so that Rarity can take Nemo out, putting him back in. As the Diamond Dog goes back to his usual place, Rarity waves while saying, "Goodbye, darling! Try not to sneak out again, okay?"

Rarity heads off while Opal snorts at the baby Diamond Dog before following her owner. Good riddance, she will say!

As Nemo watches Rarity and Opal, the Diamond Dog spots some of his friends coming over, curious as to where he was. Nemo smiles as he enacts his little adventure, and discovering a new pastime that was dubbed "bathtime".

For this reason, this made the other Diamond Dogs interested indeed!

Rarity and Opal came home a couple of hours later, the duo came home. The mare sighs, "Well, that was an interesting day we had, Opal." The cat meows in agreement. "At least the little darling is back home, safe and sound. And now..."

But when Rarity opens the door, she and Opal can hear loud barking from upstairs. In alarm, the duo rushes upstairs and checks the bathroom. Their eyes widened in shock as they saw a shocking surprise.

Inside the bathroom, the adult Diamond Dogs were enjoying some bathtime of their own, lining up and using a heating board to dive into the bathtub, each taking turns using the soap and brush before jumping out to use the towels to dry themselves off.

Opal glares at Rarity who gave a sheepish smile to her cat. Guess Nemo decided to invite the whole gang over for some bathtime as well.

The duo barks Nemo the Diamond Dog swimming in the full shower, waving to the duo, smiling. Hoo boy.

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is done, the audience applauds eagerly; another good one.

Inside the control booth, Applejack was just getting the cartoon that she played out and back into the set, when Zephyr Breeze appears from out of nowhere next to her, speaking as she yelps, "HELLO? TWILIGHT SPARKLE; YOU IN HERE; Hey, wow! Check the buttons and doohickeys!"

"Err, hey, Zephyr. Welcomer to the control room." Applejack said, nodding in respect as the guest begins pushing a lot of buttons. To her shock, everything inside the House of Pony begins going off.

"Control Room; WOW, HEY; PERFECT; ‘CAUSE I'M OUT OF CONTROL!!!"

"Dang nabbed it, will..." Applejack yelps as she remembers, she can't be rude to Zephyr Breeze. After all, he is Fluttershy's brother and Cunning Fury's delegate. "Err, on second thought. Do as you please."

"YAHOOO!!!" Zephyr Breeze cheers as he pushes all the buttons in the control room. Everyone notices all the lights, inside and outside the club, going crazy.

"Well looks like Zephyr is causing more trouble; he better behave before things get ugly." Pinkamena remarks, a hint of annoyance is heard in her tone of voice.

Golden Heart nodded as he adds, "Let's just hope Fluttershy will be able to keep him under control."

Inside their dressing room, the Rockin' Beats are practicing their instruments. Melody smirks as she said, "All right, girls, not bad, not bad, but we need more oomph, now from the top!"

The rest of the band nodded as they tuned up their synthesizers. But without warning, the door bursts opened as a familiar pony came in, to their attention.

"Yo, yo; Hey, any of you girls happened to seen Twilight Sparkle?" Zephyr Breeze asked the band eagerly.

"If you mean the one from Gen 4, never saw her much." Pretty Beat remarks with a shrug.

"Right, we're from the "My Little Pony Tales" like verse." Half Note said in agreement.

"Oh wow! Whatcha got there?! That looks cool!" Zephyr laughs as he grabs a guitar from Tuneful, much to her alarm.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Tuneful yells out angrily as Fluttershy's brother slammed the guitar onto the ground, "MY GUITAR!"

"Oh, more stuff!"

To the other band members' dismay, Zephyr Breeze grabbed the synthesizers and broke them apart. They scream out, "HEY, YOU DUMB OAF, HEY!!!"

"Out, out, out!" Melody screams out to Zephyr Breeze, causing the Pegasus pony to fly out of the dressing room.

"Man, these girls need to lighten up. It's like some jerk ruined their lives or something." Zephyr Breeze remarks as he flies off, leaving the band in their room to look at their ruined instruments in horror.

How are they going to play now?!

Back on stage, Twilight points to the screen as she spoke, "All right, here's a new Pinkie Pie cartoon!"

The audience applauds as the next cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS....

Pinkie's Extreme Sports 3 - Paracycling

"Skill...bravery...as well as a lot of bandages! These are the qualities that can only be found in the extreme sports-pony!"

On top of a high cliff, Pinkie was in her bike clothes, taking a very deep breath while doing a few exercises. The mare looked down and nodded. It's time for her to experience a brand new sport!

"And this here is the perfect example of such pony, getting ready for the extreme sport of "PARAGLIDING"!"

Pinkie gave a nod to the camera as she prepares to listen.

"All she needs here is a bicycle..."

A bike appears under Pinkie, much to her notice. She nodded while giving a smile.

"...one parachute and nerves of steel."

Pinkie smiles as a packed up parachute appears on her back. The mare looks brave and confident as she gets ready to begin.

"Oh, and you also will need a little shove."

"Huh?" Pinkie asked confused. Suddenly a hoof came out from out of nowhere and pushed the mare down, causing Pinkie to scream as she begins to cycle down, ready for this.

"Now, the extreme sportspony is one excellent bike-rider..."

Of course, as the narrator said that, Pinkie's bike ended up falling apart to the point that she ended up riding on a unicycle.

"She speeds towards the edge..."

And of course, her bike fell apart once more. Now Pinkie is riding on one wheel.

"...prepares to launch...AND THERE SHE GOES!"

Once the narrator said that, Pinkie ended up flying off the cliff and none too soon. What's left of her bike begins to fall alongside her. The mare looks down into the air as her tail begins to inflate like a parachute, revealing cupcake printer underwear that she's wearing for some reason. Still, Pinkie begins descending down a bit. The pony looks down and smiles, looking around.

"At this point, there is always time for a few acrobatic tricks."

Upon hearing that, Pinkie pulls her tail back into place before doing some tricks. She did air cartwheels, air swimming...heck, the random Earth pony even clung onto multiple clones of herself to do a synchronized air show. Once that's done, Pinkie waves goodbye to her selves who opens up their parachute. Though our favorite pink pony doesn't realize that she's getting closer to the ground!

"As the ground looms, time for her to activate her parachute."

Pinkie didn't hear the narrator; she is too busy relaxing in the sky itself.

"HEY! ACTIVATE YOUR PARACHUTE ALREADY!"

Pinkie yelps in alarm as her eyes widened. The pink pony begins looks for her cord as she tries to pull it.

"Oh, one more thing...it also helps if you open your parachute right above you."

Too late; Pinkie ended up pulling the parachute from behind, causing her to get wrapped up the bindings of the things. All she could do now is screamed for help.

"And finally, our paracycler lands like a gentle...falling...feather."

WHAM!

The narrator spoke too soon: Pinkie made a huge impact onto the ground, making a hole shaped like her. Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

"Hoo boy; and that...apparently...concludes today's Extreme Sports! Excuse me while I call an ambulance."

Some parts of Pinkie's parts fell into the hole just as the mare came out, a wheel stuck to her head. She groans, "I'm okay...owie..."

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is done, everyone applauds eagerly, another great one!

In the kitchen, Mr. and Mrs. Cake looks at a giant chocolate cake with a smile. The husband said, "Double Chocolate Chip Cake with special frosting! Our guest will love. At least for once, we kept the babies from eating it."

"It helps if they are busy playing with Flurry Heart." Mrs. Cake giggled as she looks at her foals playing with Flurry Heart, much better than last time. "This is for royalty and..."

Suddenly, the doors were kicked open, causing the couple to scream as they ended up being send into the cake. The one responsible, Zephyr Breeze, looks around as he calls out, "Yo, where's the princess? Where is she??" The stallion turns, seeing Mr. and Mrs. Cake stuck in the same cake. "Wow! Looks like you two really live up to your name for once, ha ha ha!"

"Hey!" Mr. and Mrs. Cake yell out in annoyance.

"Well, love to stay and chat, but I got a princess to look for!" Zephyr Breeze remarks as he flies off, but came back and puts a hoof into the cake to taste it. "Oh yeah, love this stuff!"

Mr. and Mrs. Cake groans as the guest flies off eagerly.

Sunburst was using a spell to help bring orders for everyone, calling out, "All right, now..."

"HELLO!" Zephyr laughs as he flies past causing Sunburst to scream and fell down, causing everyone's orders to crash and fall everywhere. His eyes widened in shock and horror as the one responsible came back. "Wow, tough luck, bub; should've watch where you're going."

As Zephyr flies off, Sunburst recovers as Rainbow and Starlight came up to him with annoyed looks. The rainbow Pegasus pony groans, "I take it Fluttershy's brother caused trouble for you."

"Yes....what did he do to you?" Sunburst asked, recovering from the incident.

"Zephyr messed up an important homework assignment from Twilight!" Starlight exclaims in frustration. "Twilight wanted an essay on the new season and Zephyr wrote all over it!"

"As for me, Zephyr ruined my special statue of myself!" Rainbow exclaims in annoyance while slapping herself. "Then he tried to hit on me again. Now you see why I don't like him?"

"Ugh!" The couple groans as they slapped themselves on the foreheads. No doubt about it, Zephyr Breeze is a trouble maker!

Pinkamena was watching this as she growls, "Alright, Zephyr is now starting to get on my nerves, if no one does something, I am going to take action and cram that Pony into a Tuba!!":

"I am annoyed as you are, but everything should get better soon, we just have to wait." Golden Heart said to Pinkamena, making her groan in frustration.

"Well it better, because Zephyr is now walking on very thin ice!!"

A few moments later, Applejack, Nyx, Phobos, Spike, Ben, Brian, Rainbow, Sunburst, Starlight, and Rarity are busy in the backstage area, fuming angrily. Twilight came out of the bathroom, looking around to see everyone upset.

"Is there anything wrong?" Twilight ask a bit nervous.

"Oh, wanna know what's wrong, sugar cube," Applejack groans out to Twilight with a frown. "Well, some punks kept giving Starlight the cold shoulder, other countries got our new episodes earlier than the U.S., and that dumb human whose name I don't wanna say kept making us look bad in his Starfleet fics!"

"No, no, I mean what's going on out here!"

As Fluttershy came in, Ben groans out, "Twilight, sorry if we're grumpy, but it's Fluttershy's brother, he's ruining the whole club!"

"Right, word is, he's the pain in everyone's flank!" Brian remarks with a groan of his own.

"Yeah, right, yeah," Rainbow, Sunburst and Starlight yells out angrily as the Cakes came in, each of them are out but some layers were still stuck.

"He ruined the cake we made for him!" Mr. Cake complains to the princess.

"Right, he even ruined the Dragon game Phobos and I have been playing!" Nyx complains to her mother with a frowning face.

"Eh!" Phobos growls as he nodded.

"Come on, it isn't that bad, right?" Twilight ask her friends in concern.

"Oh, it is!" Melody scowls as she and her band came up to Twilight, giving a paper to look over.

"Wait, bill for damages?!"

"She broke all our instruments and we can't play without them! We're leaving, goodbye!"

With that, the Rockin' Beats storms out of the club's doors, much to the concern of everyone. Looks like the musical act has split the scene!

"So much for our musical act," Twilight groans out in disbelief as she held her own head, "Fluttershy? We got to do something about your brother!"

"I know! I know we have to be polite to a delegate to royalty because of the policy...but enough is enough!" Fluttershy exclaims in agreement.

"Yeah, somepony got to tell your brother to behave himself!" Twilight agrees with a frown. Of course, the others yelp in alarm as they quickly pretended to be doing something else or being busy at the moment. Obviously, they don't wanna deal with Zephyr Breeze again! Twilight Sparkle groaned, "You know what? I'm gonna do what I should have done. And hopefully, he gets the message."

"No, Twilight. I'll be the one to do it. I should have done it when he walked into House of Pony. He is my brother, after all..."

"Still you should let me in. And just in case, he tried to be funny again."

The others sighed in relief. Hopefully Zephyr Breeze will get the message!

Zephyr Breeze was curiously looking around in a dressing room which was given to Ben and the others. And the Pegasus hadn't wasted time in messing the place up. But he still hasn't seen Twilight Sparkle anywhere.

Suddenly, a knock came at the door, making Zephyr called out, "Yo, come on in!" Twilight and Fluttershy came into the dressing room, both with disapproving frowns on their faces. "Hello, princess! I was wondering where you've disappeared to."

"Zephyr Breeze, I'm not pleased with what you're did." Twilight said with a groan to Fluttershy's brother.

"What you're talking about?"

Fluttershy spoke up sternly, time to put her hoof down, "My friends have been complaining about you being rude to customers and damaging our properties! I am ashamed and disappointed of you!"

"I just wanna be like her, sis." Zephyr Breeze said, giving an awkward look to everyone.

"Be like someone is one thing, but doing something so irresponsible is another! And If I were you, you'd better start behaving yourself! And I mean now! I still don't know why and how Cunning Fury chose you to be delegate in the first place!"

"But sis... I-!"

Twilight hold up one hoof, not having it; She spoke sternly, "Zephyr, you need a timeout. Until you're behaved, you are not allowed to leave this room until we say so! Got it?!"

The two leaves the room, leaving the saddened brother behind. Zephyr Breeze groaned, "Aw man..."

Still, the two got a point. He got a lot to think about what the girls just said.

Twilight came back onstage, smiling as she said, "Okay, ponies; Time for a cartoon about learning to behave, and here's hoping one certain pony gets the idea.”

The audience applauds as the final cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A FLUTTERSHY STORY

How To Be A Gentle-Mare

It was early in the afternoon as our favorite mare happily trots down the street, humming a bit. Just then, she saw something of interest, rolling her way, causing the pony to ask, "Huh?"

Suddenly, a giant red carpet rolls out, causing the yellow pony to trip and fall. As she recovers, Fluttershy shots a stallion in a prim and proper tuxedo coming over and turning as he started trotting. She watches him going up some stairs and entering some kind of building. The Pegasus pony got up, what is that all about?

Fluttershy spots a sign on top of the door, making her ask, "'Ponyville Country Club'?"

Fluttershy looks and saw an amazing sight behind the building: a large open area with ponies playing golf, tennis and having large pools! Fluttershy peers through the gate, seeing from the windows that there was a fine dining area to boot.

"Wow, I'm country, and I got a club, a golf one." Fluttershy said thoughtfully. "Maybe these ponies will let me inside to play a few games."

Fluttershy got out a cowboy like hat that Applejack got for her and pulls out a large golf club, which looks like some sort of wooden club to be honest. Now she's ready, so the mare trots up towards the club, holding her golf club with ease in. Fluttershy can't wait to come in and play golf!

As Fluttershy enters, she spoke, "Uh, howdy, as Applejack would say."

"What, are you a member?" A filly behind the counter asks Fluttershy with a frown as she notices her.

"Err, a member? What do you mean?"

"Miss, if you aren't a member, I will have to ask you to leave the premises, now!"

"Wait, wait. Can you tell me what I have to do to be a member?" Fluttershy ask the filly hopefully.

"Well, one thing, don't come in here looking like that!" The filly scowls rudely at Fluttershy, making her yelp, "SECURITY! GET THIS FREELOADER OUT OF HERE!"

Before Fluttershy could protest, she finds herself screaming as security kicks her right out of the club and right back onto the streets. The Pegasus pony got up groaning just as her golf club was thrown out with her, hitting the poor pony on the head.

"Owie," Fluttershy sighs as she looks over. "Oh, I got to get into that building. I just wanted to play some golf..."

"Hey! Fluttershy!"

"Eep," Fluttershy exclaims while looking around. "Oh, aren't you that narrator that Pinkie spoke about?'

"Sure am! Ever wanted to join a club that doesn't want you as a member?"

"Well, just recently." Fluttershy said with a slow nod.

"Well, in order to become a member of such an elite and prestigious club like that, one must become a gentle-mare!"

"'Gentle-mare'; don't you mean lady?" Fluttershy ask the narrator puzzled. "Is this a 'How To' Sketch'? I thought you only do this stuff with Pinkie!"

"Normally I would, but she's still recovering from the previous one, so you will have to do. Also 'gentle-mare' is a good pun to use; Now then, let us begin with..."

"THE GENTLE-MARE'S FASHION!"

Fluttershy is standing in front of a blue background on a checkered floor. She listened closely as the narrator continues.

"One got to avoid a fashion statement such as..."

Suddenly a neon arrow sign that said "LOSER" appears near the pony, making Fluttershy yelps in shock. The arrow soon disappeared, much to her concern.

"So get rid of those old rags!"

"Eeep," Fluttershy yelps as she stands back a bit. "I don't want you to take my fur off! I don't wanted to be shaved naked like Pinkie did one time!"

"Hmmm, you're right. Well, time to explore the true gentle-mare's wardrobe."

A changing screen covers up Fluttershy for a moment before being moved aside. She is now wearing a tuxedo with a top hat and green ring. The Pegasus pony said meekly, "Uh, yay?"

"Oops. I said gentle-MARE's clothing. Sorry, got confused for a moment."

The clothes left Fluttershy's body before they are replaced a few seconds later by a fine dress and necklace. Fluttershy grins as she shows off a bit.

"Oh yes, a dress; Always classy!"

Fluttershy giggles as she turns around...revealing that the pony was wearing a cardboard cut-out of the dress on the front, revealing her to still be herself on the back. The mare giggled, "Got to be half-price!"

"Huh. Well, we will get the dress on right by the time we get to the next part; Speaking of which..."

"The Gentle-Mare's Elocution!"

"Electrocution," Fluttershy, now wearing a prop dress, yelps as she trots off. "No! I don't wanna be electrocuted!!!"

"Err, no, Fluttershy, not electrocution; EL-O-CUTION; as in the proper way of speaking."

"Oh, really," Fluttershy ask relieved yet puzzled. "But why do I need to speak? I do so just fine."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, so," Fluttershy said with a nod yet concerned by how the narrator said that. "Err, is there a problem?'

"Well, to make an example, how would someone like you greet, say...the queen of the Hippogriffs?"

Sure enough, Fluttershy spots Queen Novo, the queen of the Hippogriffs turned seaponies nearby on her throne; must be here for the next lesson.

"Oh, hey Novo," Fluttershy said with a wave. Suddenly Queen Novo frowns as she hits her with the staff, making the mare shakes her head. "Oh, that isn't right? Err, hello, No?"

Queen Novo hits Fluttershy with the staff once more, making Fluttershy shakes her head. She spoke, "Your Royal Pain?" Queen Novo hits her with the staff once more, making the poor pony yelps, "OW!"

As a response, Queen Novo hits Fluttershy with the staff once more. Fluttershy spoke, "Oh, sorry! All I said was ow."

"Nothing personal, just part of the lesson," Queen Novo explains as she hits Fluttershy over the head once more. The Pegasus pony rubs her as she turns to the camera with a frown. What to do now?

"Well, one should bow gracefully say, 'My dear Queen, how delightful it is to make your acquaintance'."

Fluttershy, smiles. She got the idea. The mare turns back to Queen Novo as she bows, speaking, "'My queer dear, how delightful to acquaint your maintenance'."

Needless to say, Queen Novo hits Fluttershy with the staff, causing the pony to fall to the ground, having one cactus sized bump on the head.

"Was that necessary?" Queen Novo ask the camera skeptically. She didn't wish to hurt Fluttershy, even for a lesson.

Fluttershy, a few moments later, was back on her feet. She nod, ready for the next part of the lesson.

"Now mastering a tongue twister is also another way to improve diction."

Fluttershy, getting the idea, put some throat spray into her mouth. Time to speak clearly! A record player appears next to her which the pony turns on, ready for the tongue twister.

"The gritty gaucho grabbed his glassy-green gargoyle and grappled with the gangly gardener."

"What?" Fluttershy ask a bit puzzled by that. "Why would he do that? That's odd, even for Pinkie!"

"Just a tongue twister, try not to think about it. Again..."

The words appeared on screen followed by a bouncing ball that hits the words themselves.

"The gritty gaucho grabbed his glassy-green gargoyle and grappled with the gangly gardener."

Fluttershy just frowns as she looks at the words. As the yellow pony turned a few of them around, she spoke, "To be honest, it may be easy for you to say but those words are backwards for me."

"Fluttershy, relax. Just repeat what I say and don't worry about the words and the bouncing ball below. Now again..."

"But who is that gardener?" Fluttershy ask while grabbing the bouncing ball that was about to jump on the words. But suddenly, the Pegasus pony yelps as she begins to bounce all over. "Whoa, hey! Eeep!"

Fluttershy was sent flying offscreen as a crash was hard.

"Hoo boy; moving on..."

"The Gentle-Mare's Dining!"

Fluttershy is now sitting at the head of the table in the dining room. There are a lot of food sitting at the table.

"The next step to becoming a gentle-mare is learning how to eat."

"Eat? Well, I think I know how to do that!" Fluttershy exclaims happily. "BUT grabbing at food and gobbling down like a pig is kinda Pinkie's thing, not mine."

"Good, then I won't remind you not to use hooves to eat or gobbling down food noisily. Plus, the spitting food part is gross."

"Right, okay." Fluttershy said as she shuffled her hooves, waiting.

A few moments later, Fluttershy was wiping her mouth off with her napkin, having a great meal.

"Finally, the gentle-mare doesn't leave until she has eaten everything right in front of her. And yes, I know that would be Pinkie's style, but at least humor the audience by doing the next part!"

Fluttershy nodded meal as she pushes her chair away while getting up. Then, with unexplainable strength, the Pegasus pony lifts the table, eating it and the contents which resulted in her having a big balloon belly.

Once that's done, Fluttershy burps out a fork before chuckling, "Excuse me; Got to have my iron."

"Uh, okay, maybe we should've skipped that gag. Let's move on to the next lesson, shall we?"

"The Gentle-Mare's Poise."

Fluttershy stood there with a polite pose, dress and all. The mare gives out a happy smile.

"The only rule is that no matter what happens, a gentle-mare must always maintain her poise."

"Oh, well, do your worst. I'm cool as a cute little bunny." Fluttershy giggles a bit.

"Well, we'll see what happens. All time, let's do this!"

Fluttershy kept her pose as an angry filly rushes up, hitting her on the head with her purse. As she leaves, all the Pegasus pony does is bow gracefully over to her....just as a bulldog came over and bit her on the tail. Surprisingly, Fluttershy didn't react to that.

Next, a safe landed right on Fluttershy. But surprisingly, she came out of it carefully, calm and collected still. Heck, even when a gaggle of Royal Guards came out with weapons passed her by, the mare is covered with the weapons...yet she didn't flinch or even scream.

Fluttershy throw her "coat" aside as a speeding train runs her over, resulting in the pony becoming flat. Luckily, she got up with a calm and cool smile on her face, alive still. A wave of water splashes the pony, leaving her wet and with a giant trout and starfish on her face. The yellow pony, on the other hoof, calmly removes them.

A bomb rolled over towards Fluttershy who put a foot on it calmly, stopping the bomb. Then the bomb blows up, leaving Fluttershy an ashen mess and with her clothes fallen off. But still is still calm and collected as the said clothes came back.

"Well, what do you know? Good job, little pony! You are indeed now composed as a bunny!"

Of course, the narrator spoke too soon as Fluttershy fell to pieces...literally.

"Okay, I spoke too soon. Let me fix you up."

We return to the streets of Ponyville with Fluttershy now in a dress, doing a gentle-mare's trot. She is about to go into the country club and shows how much of a lady she is!

"And thus, we return to where we began. This time, this simple mare has been transformed into a perfect gentle-mare! No lesson has been left out, no crease has remained unironed. Nothing could go...oh horse feathers..."

The narrator said the last part for a good reason: Fluttershy came into the club in a dress all right...but she is wearing some undies without realizing it or even noticing it. Hoo boy!

Fluttershy came into the place, smiling at the filly at the sign-up booth who had her kicked out before. She spoke up, "Excuse me, my dear lady, but I would like to join up as a member of your club."

The filly gave an odd look at Fluttershy as she ask, "Say, aren't you that pony who tried to come in here two hours ago?"

"Oh yes. But I am changed now, a new pony to be precise. Where shall I sign up?"

"How about...NEVER, YOU UNDERWEAR WEARING WEIRDO; SECURITY!"

Before Fluttershy knew it, she was once again kicked out, being send screaming right onto the streets. The mare got up, giving an annoyed look to the offscreen narrator.

"Oh yes, figures; I guess I should've remind you to not put on your underwear outside your dress! But then again, why should I bother reminding a silly clumsy dumb pony like you? You would never get into a country club! What was I even thinking?! You just mess up, you dumb pony! Typical!"

"How dare you?! I am tired of ponies mocking and mistreating me!" Fluttershy yells out angrily as she pulls out the same large golf club from before. "YOU WANT A CLUB?! I WILL SHOW YOU ONE!!!"

"Wait. Hang on, let's not get ha...OUCH! HEY, YOW! STOP, OUCH; MY HOOVES!"

A few seconds later, after she's done beating up the narrator, Fluttershy happily hums to herself, carrying her golf club as she leaves the mangled and beaten up narrator. The mare is going to play a round of golf now!

"Ouch...well, that's what I call a gentle-mare's club..."

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is done, everyone in the room applauded eagerly. Another good one!

Back in the backstage area, Zephyr Breeze begins reading a book of being a gentle-mare in a comfy chair. Phobos was sleeping nearby near him.

"Well, I got to admit, girls. You got Zephry Breeze to behave himself," Ben said as he, Twilight and Fluttershy watches from nearby.

"Yes, it was a bit harsh of us, but he needed to understand." Fluttershy explains calmly to Ben. "Hopefully he will shape up by the end of this show."

"Which brings us to another problem; we still don't have a musical act." Twilight said with a sigh. It's true, with the Rockin' Beats gone, there is nothing to close on the show on!

"Oooh, no act you say? I have one! Put me out on stage so I will do an ice show!" Rarity squeals as she skates by on ice skates. But the mare yelps as she slipped and crashes nearby. "Ouch. I'm okay."

"Like I said, we still don't have a musical act."

"Uh, hey, princess," Zephyr Breeze spoke out, getting the girls and Ben's notice, "I was listening in, and I was wondering if it's all right to politely make a suggestion."

The trio looks a bit surprised at that. Looks like Fluttershy's brother is shaping up! The yellow pony spoke, "Okay, we're listening, Zephyr."

Back onstage, Spike gives a smile as he spoke, "And now, the House of Pony proudly presents....Fluttershy and Zephyr Breeze!"

The audience applauds as the stage lights up to reveal a set piece that resembled Fluttershy's cottage. As a song to a familiar tune begins to play, the yellow Pegaus sings first.

Fluttershy: I never claimed to be perfect
My mistakes are all written in ink
None of us claimed to be perfect
And it's sad if that's what you all think

Zephyr flew in as backup singers perform as well during the song.

Zephyr Breeze: Our flaws helped to make us special
They bond us and keep us strong
Our flaws are what brought us together
So stop actin' like somethin's wrong

Fluttershy with a grin dances around as the duo sings together.

Duet: We're not flawless
We're a work in progress
We've got dents and we've got quirks
But it's our flaws that make us work
Yeah, we're not flawless
We're a work in progress
So tell me what flaws you got, too
'Cause I still like what's flawed about you

The male Pegasus combs his mane a bit, smirking as he continues his song.

Zephyr Breeze: They say I'm a big joke
That makes me a big loser in Equestria.
But doesn't mean I have to be one
Cause there's more to than I look

Fluttershy: Sure, my brother can be a problem.
A bit big slacker, it's true

Zephyr Breeze: And I can be too eager to please
There's such thing as bein' too honest, too, 'cause

Fluttershy giggles as her brother appears to be in a Ben Valorheart outfit. He spins around as the duo sings together once more.

Fluttershy sighed: Ponies think I'm too timid and too shy
That I'm nothing but a coward
And I might not be strong and brave
But I'm just so happy to have friends

Zephyy Breeze patted her on the back. Fluttershy cheers up as he sings next.

Zephyr Breeze: Love and Kindness are her greatest gifts
So, her heart is full of gold

Fluttershy: But nopony has to be perfect
By now, don't you know us so well? Because, yeah

The duo now stood back to back as they finishes their song up.

Once the song's over, the audience applauds, enjoying the musical number. Fluttershy smiles as she turns to Zephyr who gave her a nod in return.

"It seems Fluttershy and Twilight were able to deal with Zephyr Breeze, I really was planning to cram him into a Tuba." Pinkamena said, a bit impressed with the song.

Golden Heart spoke in agreement, "I am glad as well."

"Well it might depend on what awaits us on next House of Pony, but till then stay tune all of you readers."

The folks applauded as Twilight smiles, preparing to wrapped up the show, "Well, folks, got to say. Thanks for letting us do our usual show! And we would like to thanks today's musical guest, Zephyr Breeze!"

The audience applauded once more with the spotlight going on Zephyr Breeze who waves while saying, "Hey, thanks! And may I say, Twilight, you look marvelous out there yourself! And I've learned my lesson! I will behave myself and be careful not to ticked off Cunning Fury. I'm thinking he send me here to learn manners."

"I bet! Just tell him that you, he, and the Mystic Ponies are welcome here anytime! All right, Spike, take us out!"

Spike smiles as he said, "You got it, Twilight! Royal guest of the House of Pony sponsored by..."

"Mystic Tao! The Mysterious Mystic Warriors!

We see a picture of Tao smiling on screen for a moment, then we see him performing magic, going on a tea parties, hanging up a star on a tree with Twilight, and playing with puppets.

"Taqo is available for magic teaching, tea partieis, holidays, and of course, the usual puppet shows!"

We now see Tao grinning while looking at his schedule, tapping on the words "Mystic Tao's Royal Treatment". on it.

"Get the Mystic treatment from Mystic Tao! You will feel just like a Mystic Pony in no time!” A picture of an angry Mystic Tao's head is seen as his head appears to be exploding. Spike adds in a low voice, "Caution, try not to violate the "Mystic Tao Phoenix Temper" clause."

As everyone applauded, Twilight with a smile said, "That's all for today! See you real soon!"

Author's Note

All right, did you like this episode? Nice. In the next episode, "Guys' Night", Ben, Brian Tenny, Shining Armor, Spike, Phobos, and Sunburst takes over the club for the night while the girls take a night off of bowling night. With Ben in charge, and the audience being only guys, will the gang handle it or will it go out of control? And what in the world is Queen Chrysalis doing here? Read, review and suggest.

Nemo the Diamond Dog was an OC suggested to me by pokeneo1234 long ago.

Melody and the Rockin' Beats are from "My Little Pony Tales".

Applejack was referencing how Starlight was considered a spotlight stealer since her reformation in some episodes, how other countries got the new episodes earlier, and how a certain author whom I won't name here and is a complete Anti-Brony made the gang flat-characters in his fics. Hint, he is a Davis x Kari fan.

Queen Novo appears in the new My Little Pony Movie.

House of Pony: Season 2

Episode Fourteen: Flash Sentry's Debut

???: The party just started, so come on in,
The good times are all just about to begin,
So step inside, we're going to have some fun,
There's plenty of room here for everyone!

A certain purple alicorn was singing this as she, Ben, Nyx, Spike and Phobos are heading back to the House of Pony. It has been a long wait but Twilight is excited to reopen for another season. Yes sir, the second season of House of Pony has arrived.

"You must be excited, right mommy?" Nyx ask Twilight with a smile. The little filly can tell how much her mom waited for this day.

"Sure am! I know things will be great this season!" Twilight giggles happily.

"Also, best of all, Diamond Tiara is grounded and won't be bothering us for who knows how long!" Phobos laughs with a happy smile, recalling how Diamond Tiara was grounded by Filthy Rich when she, Silver Spoon and Maxin Talos tried to take over the club with Cobra Commander's help.

"Well, until the last of the second season anyway!" Nyx commented, breaking the fourth wall.

Soon everyone else who is employed arrives as well. Twilight grins while saying, "Welcome back, everypony! It has been a long time but I feel like this season is going to be a big one! Let's start. Ben, you will help keep the place together, right?"

"As usual, Twiley," Ben said as he took out his usual clipboard, smiling eagerly.

"Big brother? Ready to park some cars?"

"On it, Twiley," Shining said with a nod, preparing to park some cars for the guests this season.

"Rainbow Dash, hopefully you can greet the folks at the door without causing any trouble, right?" Twilight ask her good pal and fellow co-owner of the club with a smirk.

"No promises but I got nothing else better to do tonight." Rainbow remarks while rolling her eyes. "I'm here I guess."

"Rarity. Make sure to keep an eye on all the reservations as well as table seating."

"Sure thing, darling," Rarity giggles a bit. "So any chance I will perform on the show?"

"I will see what I can do." Twilight said though she is not sure if the alicorn herself will ever get Rarity a spot on the show. Bad enough that she got Dr. Lizardo bugging her to perform as it is. "Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, you think you can keep up with the usual entertainment when I announce you girls?"

"Got the instruments tuned and everything," Scootaloo exclaims with a smirk as she and her fellow CMC members got their instruments out.

"Yeah," Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle both squeals in delight.

"Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and the Cakes, you will make sure to take care of the food for the guests, right?" Twilight ask the waiters and cooks with a smile.

"Sure thing, Twilight; And Dazzle Cake and I will keep the twins in check this time...I think." Mr. Cake said to Twilight with a proud smile.

"I thought her name was Cup Cake."

"Oh, I got my name legally changed." Mrs. Cake explains to Twilight sheepishly. "Turns out there's another pony who goes by that name; Got to deal with confusion of course."

"I see." Twilight said with a nod of understanding. She got to keep up with the names of her subjects/friends during her off hours.

"And I am Super Duper ready to have some fun!" Pinkie giggles as she bounces up and down playfully, ready to serve the guests and have some fun.

"Right, me and the animals are ready as well." Fluttershy said meekly as her animal friends are with her, all of them are preparing to get to work for the season.

"Brave Heart; You ready for your job," Twilight ask Rainbow's cousin Brave Heart with a grin on her face.

"Aye, lass; It will be me pleasure to keep out the riff-raff...and deal with the ones causing trouble inside." Brave Heart spoke to Twilight in his usual Scottish accent, smiling proudly as he does.

"Brian, got any gossip and news to report?"

"Not right now but if I can find anything, I will let you and the others know." Brian said to his friends eagerly. At their glare, he add sheepishly, "Making sure to check my resources as promised; Hee hee hee."

Twilight, satisfied, turns to Applejack while saying, "Applejack! You ready to work the control booth again like last time?"

"Shucks, Twi, Ah will be handling it like handling apples on mah farm!" Applejack exclaims to Twilight with a smirk.

"Okay! That means we're all here. Nyx, Spike, Phobos and I are ready so we're preparing to open up for the season. Time to unlock the doors and get the club set up for tonight! Let's do this, everypony!"

The others cheers as Ben unlock the doors, preparing for another season of House of Pony. Boy, they all cannot wait!

Once the club is set up, the House of Pony is prepared. The place was packed as the guests are taking their seats, making orders and ready for some fun. Twilight waits anxiously as Spike is heading down to make the usual introduction. She and Ben don't need a big show right away, just a simple one to start things off. Then when the time comes, there will be big shows.

The first show of the second season begins as Spike makes the introduction, "And now, the most popular unicorn turned alicorn in Equestria and Ponyville...TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"

The audience applauds as Twilight teleports into the spotlight. With a smile, she said, "Hey, welcome, folks, and welcome back to the show for those who stuck around. For the new guests, welcome as usual! Hope you all have a great time in getting here!" The audience stops applauding as she continues. "We will start things off with a little treat...it's something that Princess Celestia has found in the vaults of Ponyland past!"

As the audience applauds, Spike spoke excitedly, "All right! Here it is: a 'Behind the Scenes' look...time for Pony Celebrity Auditions!"

As everyone applauds, the screen is turned on.

Megan looks to the camera while saying, "All right, everypony. This is the audition for the role of Hamlet, one of the biggest dramatic William Shakespeare please. Okay, Surprise?"

The camera turns to the first pony to auditioned as Surprise flew up, smiling while saying, "To be or...uh...line?"

"Sorry, Surprise. You didn't get the part. Next!"

The next pony to audition is Spike AKA Spykoran who roars right to the camera, making the ponies yelps a bit. The Dragon blinks a bit then say sheepishly, "Wait, isn't this an audition for a medieval story?"

"Sorry, that's next week, Spike. Next!" Megan calls out for the next auditionees.

The next auditionees are Firefly and the original Applejack. The latter is eating apples, much to the annoyance of her friend who snaps, "Applejack, come on! You are ruining my scene here!"

"Hey, excuse me! Ah done miss lunch, Miss Ego Mouth!" The original Applejack snaps as she unintentionally spit out apple chunks into Firefly's place.

"Ugh. Maybe I should get one of the Big Brother Ponies for this. Come to think of it, why did I even bother auditioning a mare to be in a male role anyway?" Megan ask in frustration while slapping her forehead at the failed auditions.

THE END!

The audience laughs and applaud, especially the Ponyland ponies who were in the auditions. It's fun to laugh at themselves.

Up front, Flash Sentry was looking into a mirror and humming to himself eagerly. Just then Rarity spoke up, "Why, Flash Sentry!"

Flash yelps as he turns to see Rarity smiling to him, "Oh, Rarity! You startled me."

"Was that you singing just now, darling?"

"Oh, me? Well, hee hee. Yeah, I have been doing a lot of singing. I got a better singing voice."

"No one sings like Boris!" Boris brags as he trots past the two ponies as he heads into the dining room.

Rarity rolls her eyes as she speaks to Flash, "Don't bother about him, he just like to brags like that. Anyway, I know you have been doing some great singing. I've heard you had an amazing range." Of course, Boris chose that time to return.

"No one has a range like Boris!"

Flash roll his eyes as he remarks, "Yeah, I tried to ignore him. Anyway, yeah, I haven't sing in front of ponies yet but I was hoping someday that I will. Any chance you have been on stage yet in case you wish to give me pointers?"

"Well, not yet, really. I was almost on stage once but I trotted off when I found out that Rainbow paid Twilight to get me on there. Not what I wanted truthfully." Rarity explains to Flash with a giggle. "Anyway, you darling deserve to be on stage yourself."

"And maybe someday I will but I wish I got a break."

Unknown to Rarity and Flash, Ben was leaving the restroom when he heard his two friends talking. The son of Celestia pauses, thinking of something. Flash is a good friend of his since foal hood...and he has heard the Pegasus sing a few times before. Ben figures that perhaps Flash should go up on stage to perform. He smiles, having an idea.

After introducing the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Twilight heads backstage. Ben came over as he said, "Twilight, time we give an old pal of ours a break."

"What? Give Rarity a vacation? But we're on our second season!" Twilight protests to Ben, misunderstanding what her love meant. "Can't we wait for later to speak about this?"

"No, not vacations and I don't mean Rarity. I mean Flash Sentry and to give him a chance to perform. I have heard him sing many times before and he is really good, Twilight. I think my best friend should go out on stage to perform!"

"Hmmm; you know what? That's a good idea."

Of course, Boris appears from out of nowhere, saying arrogantly, "No one GETS GREAT IDEAS like Boris!"

"Will you get out of the backstage, you dork?! Out, out!" Twilight snaps as she fires blasts at Boris, chasing the arrogant unicorn off. "Honestly, when he isn't stalking me, that creep is an annoying braggart."

"Ugh. Tell me about it." Ben remarked, rolling his eyes at how arrogant his bully/rival can be.

"Well, anyway, I was going to perform a little number on stage but since you said that Flash Sentry got a great voice, I figure we can make it a duet with me and him!"

"Really; Wow, I guess it could work. Though I wonder if Flash would want to take that idea or not."

"Well, time we ask him." Twilight suggests with a grin. She and Ben prepares to go find Flash and see if he likes the duet of doing a duet with her and not.

"So wait, you want me to sing a duet with you, Twilight? Am I hearing this right?" Flash ask Twilight. The mare has told her friend of the idea to sing a duet with him.

"Well..." Twilight begins to say but Flash suddenly cut her off, eagerly hugging the mare before letting go.

"You betcha I would! All right, my big break at last! Thank you, Twilight."

"Huh. I guess that's a yes."

Twilight smiles; the second season is off to a great start...but the mare doesn't know it but something is about to go wrong a bit tonight.

The party continues onward with Pinkie and Fluttershy serving the customers per usual. Pipsqueak was looking at a laptop computer, smiling as he cheers on, "Yeah, this'll be awesome!"

Nyx was passing by when she spots what her colt-friend is. She stops to ask, "Pip, what are you doing?"

"Oh hey, Nyx. Just watching the new trailer for the upcoming Hobbit movie."

"Pip, that Dragon's voice really scares me. You shouldn't be watching it...yet."

"Ah, you're no fun anymore, Nyxie." Pipsqueak remarks with a pouty look on his face.

Golden Heart and Pinkamena were sitting at their chairs along with Gold Wing. Pinkamena says, "Boy it has been so long since we've been here."

Golden Heart nods while saying in concern, "Indeed but something bad will happen but all will go well in the end."

"Yep good times, Goldie, and like always, let's watch the show."

At another table, Tso Lan and his Demon Lords drank their drinks. Hsi Wu drank his drink then spits it out. He growl angrily.

Bai Tza, glaring, spoke up, "What in netherworld think you're doing, Hsi Wu?!"

Xiao Fung guess, "Let me guess, wrong drink?"

Hsi Wu growl angrily, "Hey! What's the big idea?! I order the wine, not the green tea! It gives me bad taste! How come my brethren get the right order, and not mine!"

Boris smirks as he pass by while bragging, "No one orders green tea like Boris."

Hsi Wu look annoyed as he ask the other Demon Lords, "Is he making fun of me?"

"I'll take yes." Xiao Fung answers with a slight smirk on his face.

"So I take that runt is more annoying than Disney's Gaston."

On the stage, Twilight grins while saying, "All right, ponies, demons and the whatnot. Get your checkbooks and have your Equestria Master Cards ready. It's time for today's first story!"

The audience applauds as the first cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS

A RARITY STORY

Rarity's Big Sale

It was another day in Equestria as Ben was in the bathroom taking a bath. As he was singing, his phone rings. The colt sighs in annoyance, "Great, as usual when I'm taking a bath, someone makes a ring on the phone; May as well see who it is."

Ben got out of the tub and put a towel on himself as he goes out to the downstairs. Upon answering the phone, he answers, "Golden Oaks Library; Ben Mare speaking."

The familiar voice of Rarity is heard speaking frantically, "Benjamin! I need to speak with Twilight now!"

"Rarity; Twilight just left to Canterlot. She says something important meeting with my mother and Mystic Tao."

"Noooooooo! THIS - IS - WORST - POSSIBLE - THING - EVER!"

Ben sighs in annoyance while imagining Rarity fainting onto her couch right now, "Relax, Rarity. A friend of Twilight is a friend of mine. I'll help. So what do you need?"

Rarity recovers as she spoke up, "Good enough. You had to come here at once! It's urgent!"

"What?! Hold on, Rarity! I'm on my way! I hope everything's okay."

Ben hangs up the phone and gallops out the door. He got into his car and drove very fast. Yeah, the Earth pony would've just galloped over there or teleported but he decided to drive since Ben got a new car and wanted to use it.

Somewhere in Ponyville, Mighty Heart smell some cookies that he bought while sighing, "Hmmm. Cookies. Best food ever in Sugarcube Corner."

Mighty Heart licked his mouth just before he ate one. Jade who is with him nods while she say, "You said it, M. Can you believe that, Mighty? Wow, Mystic Council really let us and any of Mystic Ponies visit Equestria and help out the ponies as their guardians and helpers, all because of one important mission. I'm so cite that I'm gonna be with Nyx and the Cutie Mark Crusaders!"

"You mean the 'Road to the End' story?"

"Mighty Heart! You're giving away the spoiler! Not to mention, it's still incomplete! You want to ruin the surprise ending of the best story?"

Mighty blush while saying sheepishly, "Oops. Sorry."

Ben drove his car and pass through both Mighty Heart and Jade as they both spin around and around very hard while their foods went up high. They also scream while being spun.

Ben shouts but fast, "SORRY, MIGHTY HEART AND JADE! I'VE GOT SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO DO! THANK YOU!"

They then stop in their tracks. Mighty and Jade look dizzy just before they shook their heads. They quickly grab for their food at once before they impact on the ground, especially Mighty's cookies.

Mighty sighs in relief, "Phew. That was close. I almost lost the cookies."

Jade frowns as she snaps, "Oh yeah?! I almost lost a life. Wait! I'm an immortal Mystic Pony. I don't lose lives. But it pains my flank very hard."

"You think? So what is Ben's rushing for?"

"Whatever it is, it's so not a good sign."

Indeed. Ben went so fast that he went through a lot of clean cars, turn the place into a junkyard then drove through a car salvage building, causing all parts of his car except the wheel and seat to be taken off. The stallion soon arrives at the Carousel Baroque, seeing the mare hiding behind a box looking worried.

Ben got out of his car and gallops over to Rarity, saying, "Rarity! I got here as I can! What's going on? Are you hurt? Did something happen to Sweetie Belle? Come on, give me details!"

"Darling, what's happening is..." Rarity said. She sounded seriously at first...but then the mare pops out from behind the box, fine as she took two hair bows out of it. With a smile, Rarity exclaims, "I'm selling new hair bows at my Carousel Baroque! They are smashing, aren't they?"

"Wait, wait. Hang on. This is what you called me here over for? You made me get out of the house and leave my home, come all the way so you can tell me this."

"Yes...well, that and I will need your help in hosting my first Hair bow Sale Party!"

Ben groans as he slaps himself, asking in disbelief, "You want me to do what?! Rarity, sorry, but not a chance! This is a bad idea. Do you know what happens every time you talked me or one of my love's friends into your ideas? Something happen and I got this to say every time it does happened!"

Flashback 1

In a flashback, Ben was wrapped in bandages in bandages while Rarity stares in regret while she is also wrapped up in bandages. While Twilight helps her colt-friend, the stallion mutters angrily to the white unicorn, "I told you so!"

Flashback 2

In another flashback, both Ben and Rarity are being taken to jail for another idea gone wrong. The white unicorn look nervous as her friend scowls, "I told you so!"

Flashback 3

The Mane Six and Ben are trapped in a wet cement area on a sidewalk, stuck big time. While Rarity look sheepish to her angry friends, the upset Ben scowls at her, "I told you so!"

Flashback 4

Ben, Rarity and Flash Sentry are wearing blindfolds while standing in front of a wall...for target practice as the soldiers are about to fire paintballs. The Earth pony whispers to the white unicorn in annoyance, "I told you so!"

End All Flashbacks

"Yes, yes, I know all those ideas were terrible, even I felt bad about it, but it's different this time!" Rarity insists in concern. "Please? I would've asked somepony else but you're the..."

"Hold on. Let me guess, the only pony silly enough to let you talk me into it? Forget it, not a chance, not again!" Ben snaps as he prepares to leave. The pony isn't going to let the white mare roped him into an idea that would get himself into trouble.

"You're the only friend I've got, Ben."

"Oh real funny, Rarity. You've got lots of friends: Spike, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Can't you ask them?"

Rarity sob as she explains, "I did! Applejack is too busy on her farm! Rainbow Dash is training with Soarin'! Pinkie Pie is busy with her parties! Fluttershy is also busy with taking care of her animals. My favorite dragon, Spiky-Wikey is having fun with Lorcan and Barbara!"

Ben sighs then ask, "What about Dragon Kick? Mighty Heart; Jade; Sweetie Belle," Can't Rarity ask them for help?

Rarity sob some more, "I did! Dragon Kick said he's busy in his archaeology! Mighty Heart said he and Jade had to look after their home! And Sweetie Belle is busy with her friends."

Ben sigh while saying, "Okay, it seems everypony is busy. I definitely do not want Flash get involved in this mess either. He's so had too much trouble with my Aunt Luna and my mom when it comes to disobedience and helping me being hero. But alright, I'll help, Rarity. But if something goes wrong, remember those four words."

"Oh darling, it will be different!"

"Rarity; Do you even know about selling hair bows? I mean, selling dresses, yes, but hair bows?"

"Oh, I don't need to." Rarity giggles as she took out a book from a box with her magic. "This lovely box of hair bows came with a book on how to sell them. So this will do all the talking for me."

"'How to Sell Hairbows; You don't have to know anything'." Ben said while reading the title of the book. "Huh. Appropriate title; Okay, I will help."

"Good! The presentation is in three hours; Oh, hee hee hee!"

3 hours and a half hour later, the presentation soon became at the Carousel Baroque. Rarity grins as she prepares to read a book while Ben, wearing a green hair bow, frowns. The mares in attendance are DJ Pon-3, Octavia, Daisy, Lily Valley, Rose and Golden Harvest.

Rarity coughs as she spoke up, "Hello. My name is Rarity, the Carousel Baroque owner and Hair bow Wares sales associate. I have chosen 'Insert Friend/Volunteer Here'..." The mare smiles as she points to the frowning Ben who still didn't like the idea but kept a big smile anyway. "...to help yours truly demonstrate our fine line of hair bow wear products. The Carousel Baroque Hair bow Wear is made to make even the fashion disaster hair bow on 'Insert Friend/Volunteer Here' looks smashing."

"What," Ben asks Rarity in annoyance. "Look, you made me wear this, Rarity!"

"Ahem, Benjamin, darling. The book told me that you aren't supposed to talk during this."

"But..."

"Sshh," Rarity shushes Ben, causing him to frown in anger. Why did he even bother? The mare uses her magic to pick up some spray. "To start things off, one can never go wrong with a little spritz of...BOW PAINT! And let's not forget, a little goes a long way!"

Suddenly Rarity aims the bottle right at Ben and sprays a cloud right onto it. The stallion coughs a bit and once the cloud is grown, he is now purple and polka-dot all over, much to his annoyance.

"Yes, you will also want our new and improve Bow Starch, now with added stiffness." Rarity said not really seeing Ben's glare while spraying the starch onto him. "And again, a little goes a long way."

Ben is stiff as a board as he fell to the ground, much to Rarity's notice.

Ben was back to normal as he is now in a salon chair, looking nervously to Rarity who is continuing the next part of her presentation to the audience.

"After that, you would wish to try our revolutionary bow steamer!" Rarity giggles as she put the helmet onto Ben's head, covering it then she turns the thing on. Soon the machine begins shaking like mad. "Yes, a perfect way to pump some pizazz into a lifeless old bow."

Once the chair stops, the helmet was removed. Ben's hair bow grew twice as big before it deflated on his head, much to his embarrassment.

A moment later, Rarity is talking to her audience, saying with a smile, "And nothing works even better than the automatic bow-tying machine!"

Ben is now attached to a machine that has a seat and metal hands. The pony yelps as he asks his friend, "Rarity, this thing is safe, right?"

"Benjamin, shh! You're going to ruin my wonderful presentation!" Rarity whispers a bit. She then examines the controls in a puzzled way. "Now then...how do I work this thing again?"

Rarity shrugs and pushes a green button, turning the machine on. Ben yelps and looks up to see that the metal hands are ready. He wince, ready for the worst but to his surprise, the hands ended up making the bow perfect on his head. Ben sighs in relief, okay, so this wasn't so bad after all.

"Or if you want a look with a little more PUNCH..." Rarity said. Of course, the mare accidentally hit the controls and as Ben feared, the machine went out of control.

"RARITY," Ben screams in alarm. Soon the machine explodes making Rarity cringes a bit. The white mare glances as her wrapped friend glares right back, "Punch; Yeah, right!"

The mares in the audience grins while checking out the possible choices for hair bows that Rarity's selling. While they do so, the white mare smiles to Ben while saying, "This is incredible! Why, if we keep this up every day, my Carousel Baroque will make a fortune in no time!"

"What, every day?! Ugh, forget it, make that fortune on your own, I quit! And don't talk me into staying!" Ben scowls angrily as he prepares to leave. The pony isn't going to be used as a guinea pig in this foolishness any longer.

"Yes, all right. I will get another friend to help me. Except most of them are busy and you're the only one that I got who isn't busy, darling. But I suppose I could make it out on my own...failing...and my doing well in the hair bow business."

"Ugh. Fine, all right, I will stay a while longer."

"Wonderful, thank you, you're a prince both figuratively and literally!" Rarity giggles while grabbing Ben, dragging him off. "Oh yes, I am going to be rich!"

Ben groans in irritation, "Of all the Mane Six, why Rarity? I know she's generous and best friend to Twilight, can't she be at least be gentle?!"

It was a few moments later as Rarity reads from the book to the audience, "Yes, by now, 'Inset Friend/Volunteer Here', will want so much to model the Carousel Baroque's Hair Bow Wares' wide selection of hair bows. Like the flashy Neon Bow." Ben sighs as he turns on a red bow with a light bulb that he himself is wearing. "Or our spinning bow." The Earth pony took off the red bow, putting on a yellow one with a spinning top. Rarity spins the bow, causing his friend to be lifted off.

Another moment later, Ben returns with another bow, trying to balance it on his head. Rarity now say, "Or the Steel Bow." The Earth pony now put on another bow which is rainbow-colored, "The Rain Bow, no relation to Rainbow Dash..." Suddenly a rainbow appears in the house, pouring rain right onto Ben's head.

A moment later, Rarity continues her presentation, "Bow-hemian..." Ben is now wearing an all black suit and sunglasses along with a black bow while snapping his hooves. "Bow-quet..." The stallion is now a bow that caused a bouquet of flowers to appear; Weird, huh?

"Bow-vine..." Rarity commented. Ben chuckles while putting on a bow on his head, event that was a pretty good vine, "Bow-peep!" The stallion now sees a bow on his mane that is next another bow that he just put on.

"O-bow," Rarity exclaims as Ben is playing an oboe...with a bow on it. The mare smiles while saying, "And for the bow-wearer darling on the god, there's the always so popular...Inflata-Bow!"

As Ben put on a red bow, he yelps in shock, "Wait. Inflata-what," With a smirk, the white mare pulls the cord on the said bow with her teeth and it begins to inflate. In alarm, Ben begins to float upward, "RARITY!"

Ben hits the roof hard, making a huge hole in the roof before floating off outside into the air. Rarity's eyes widen in shock as she exclaims. "Benjamin! Oh dear, what would I do?" She looks worried. Not only will Twilight be angry at her for this but she doesn't have a partner.

"Rarity," Daisy spoke up, making Rarity turn to the audience. "Yeah, thanks for the presentation but I don't think hair bows are for me. And no offense, but they look weird on a colt."

"Yeah, not interested," The other mares comment while leaving. Apparently, after the whole madness, they decided not to own any hair bows that could be dangerous...and look silly on a colt.

As the audience leave, Rarity sighs and looks down in sadness while falling backwards onto her fainting couch. She failed and is all...alone.

It was nearly night time as Dragon Kick and Ben teleport back to Rarity's home. The Mystic Pony has saved the Earth pony from floating off forever. He had no idea why Ben couldn't teleported himself to safely. Probably never occur to him.

Dragon Kick spoke up to the upset Ben, "Just be glad that I'm undersea for researching, Ben. So what were you doing there anywhere?"

Ben groans angrily while holding the now deflated hair bow, "Helping Rarity. And the worst is that she's making things worst!" Dragon Kick hits him, making the pony yelp in pain. "Hey! Isn't that supposed to be for your uncle to hit me?"

"Well, his habit is now my habit. After all, he is my uncle. Not important. But look, Ben, just because Rarity made a mess, doesn't mean you should be angry."

"Why not?"

Dragon Kick said sternly, "That's what friends do. Remember Ben, nopony is perfect, even for Mystic Ponies."

"Like how Tao overlook that me and my family go wrong way to Hydra's lair?" Ben asks Dragon Kick with a skeptic look on his face.

"Pretty much; but just be kind and gentle to her. That's my advice."

"Fine."

"I'd better be back on my work." Dragon Kick said as he trots off to get back to what he himself is doing. Hopefully Ben would listen and take his advice.

Ben sighs as he came into the Carousel Baroque. The stallion trots up to Rarity while saying, "Rarity..." The Earth pony stops as he saw his friend crying her eyes out.

"Oh, Benjamin, I know! You told me so, you told me so!" Rarity sobs a bit. "My Hair bow Ware Party...it's a disaster! Oh this is one of the many worst possible things to ever happen! Why, I didn't sell a single bow and now, everyone in Equestria is laughing at me."

"That's not true, Rarity. Now look, I said I would help you out...and I will."

"Really; you...you will?"

Ben, recalling Dragon Kick's advice, smiles as he said, "Yes. Tell you what; I will buy one of your bows for Twilight. How does that sounds?"

"You will?! Oh great," Rarity giggles a bit as she grabs the hair bow box with her magic. As the mare give a lot of bows to Ben, the mare suggest, "Here, why not buy this one; and this one; and that one? Oh, get that one! It's a must! And this one, this one, and this one, and this one, don't forget that one, darling..."

Ben sighs as he collects hair bows like mad. He then shrugs while saying, "Well, I guess business is business as usual..."

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is over, the audience applauds. Yes, another good to start things off!

The audience applauds as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who are the Cutie Mark Peas once more, are doing their usual dance routine. Meanwhile, Hsi Wu was going to hurt Golden Heart but sees Pinkamena reading a book on 'How To Cook Demons' and he looks worried. Pinkamena looks at the Demon as he backs up back to his seat and was pale.

Pinkamena says, "Well, seems like he did not like this book."

She giggles as Golden Heart says, "Um you think he knows that book is a fake?"

"Well who knows but for now let's just watch on."

Twilight and Flash Sentry are in the rehearsal room, ready for rehearsing their son before the big number tonight. Nux, seeing Flash looking eager, ask, "Wow, I'd never seen you so excited, Uncle Flash."

"I know. To be very honest, Nyx, I'm pleased and happy that your father help me for the first time." Flash said to Nyx with a smile. "I wouldn't mind helping him as much as I wanted. But his help is very rewarding and important to me than money or ranks."

"Really; Wow, it sounds like you two had always been helping and being there for each other. Like you said, Uncle Flash, friendship is important."

"You bet. I just hope that I don't want to mess Ben's important gift up. It's too important."

"Don't worry, Flash. From what Ben said, I'm sure you'll be fine and good at singing. Twilight said with a smile, "Hey, Dexter, Soarin'. Thanks for helping out by being test audience members."

In a small stage in the rehearsal room, Soarin' and Dexter smiles while giving the hooves up. Twilight now turns to Octavia Melody who is working on a cello, speaking, "Hey, Octavia. Wanna go through the number again?"

"Yes of course." Octavia said with a nod while strumming the cello, ready to play.

"Got the rest of the music playing, Twilight!" Vinyl Scratch AKA DJ-Pon 3 remarks as she got her records for a certain song ready. "Think this will be a smash?"

"Yes, yes, it will be fine, just keep on rocking." Twilight said to DJ-Pon 3 with a smile.

"From the top," Octavia said as she and DJ-Pon 3 begins playing (of course the latter is playing a record). As the song begins, Twilight smiles as she begins to sing.

Twilight: Has anybody seen
And anybody heard
All the different ways
For saying a word
I tell ya, my friend
It's really absurd
You'll see

Nyx turns on the spotlights to shine on Twilight and Flash.

Now, I say AB-stract.

Flash: I'd say ab-STRACT.

Twilight: I'd say COM-pact.

Flash: I'd say com-PACT.

Twilight: I would say... CON-tract.

Flash: I'd say con-TRACT.

Twilight and Flash: Who cares how you pronounce it?
We might as well announce it!
We're not exactly normal, that's us!

Twilight: Really, I'm only an Alicorn.

Flash: And I am a Pegasus!

The two friends grin as they got off the stage. Once the background turns blue, Twilight continues the song.

Twilight: I say PER-fect!

Flash: I say per-FECT!

Twilight: Well, I say SUB-jects!

Flash: I say sub-JECTS!

Twilight gave out a nervous chuckle.

Twilight: This is so COM-plex.

Flash: I say com-PLEX.

Twilight and Flash: Who cares the way you say it
Or how the band will play it?
We're buddies and going back's not our thing!!

Twilight: Even though I'm an Alicorn with a horn and wings!

Flash: And I have just wings!

The others laugh. The two went separate to do their talking parts of the songs. Twilight takes out a batch of caramel cakes while asking, "Car-a-mel?"

"Caramel," Flash chuckles while holding a caramel apple with one wing.

Twilight pulls out Soarin' who is wearing a New Stallioans shirt, asking, "New Stallioans?"

"New Stall-ioans," Flash exclaims as he spoke through a megaphone. Soarin' flew back to his seat.

"Saint Lunais?"

"Saint Lunaie to me."

Flash points over to arches from a familiar state with Soarin' clapping with his wings. Twilight pulls a lever while asking, "Lever?"

"Le-ver," Flash said as he pushes on a ground lever, causing Soarin' to get pushed down as a result.

Twilight is now wearing pirate clothes as she continues, "Ca-rib-bean?"

"Carib-bean," Flash said as he is in a relaxing chair in summer clothes along with Soarin'?"

"Maris?" Twilight ask as she paints Flash as a model. The stallion now came out in a trench coat to sing.

Flash: Pronounce it Mare-ree!

Soarin' pulls the next scene over. We see the two friends in a car now.

Twilight: Well, I say root!

Flash: And I say route!

Twilight: Now don't you poot!

Flash: I think you mean pout!

The two friends shrug as the backgrounds are changed back to the stage. Twilight and Flash got back onto it while finishing their job up.

Twilight and Flash: Maybe someday, we'll figure it out
But as long as we're together
It doesn't matter whether
We're never ever down on our luck, not us!
'Cause we're friends

Twilight: Me the Alicorn

Flash: And I'm a Pegasus!

"Bop bop do bop!" The two friends exclaim as Nyx, Soarin' and Dexter applauds.

"You two are ready for the big number!" Nyx giggles happily at the performance.

"It's good." Dexter said meekly, "Yay."

"Yes, at least we get bigger roles in this." Octavia said with a dry nod while leaving her post.

"I cannot wait to get rockin' tonight!" DJ Pon-3 exclaims while Twilight laughs with her.

In the audience, Miko, Sari and Jade are making the faces on the back of a spoon. They look silly, funny and ridiculous; Depending on how looks at it. While they do so, the pest known as Boris came up, bragging, "No one makes faces in a spoon like Boris."

Jade groans, "Really? Do you had to be so annoying, Boris? This is not a Beauty and the Beast fanmake."

"Yeah. Besides, no one asked for the opinion of Boris." Mako remarks dryly to the surprised Boris.

"So beat it, creep." Sari snaps to Boris, wanting him to get lost.

Boris groan, "No one gives bad compliments -" He then saw Bulkhead and Mighty Heart appear from the girls' behind. He gulp while finishing, "...Like Boris?"

Bulkhead (Prime) glares while asking Boris, "You've got problem with Miko and Sari, pal?"

"If I see Jade gets hurt, being an Earth Pony is the least of your concern." Mighty Heart said sternly while he clench his hooves tight. "So how about no one makes us angry like Boris?"

Boris smile sheepishly while saying, "Then, no one couldn't agree with your opinion more like Boris."

Boris ran off. Bulkhead (Prime) grunts, "That'll teach that creep."

Mighty Heart smirk while saying, "Agreed."

On stage, Twilight smiles as she said, "Up is down but down is up in our next cartoon!"

The audience applauds as the next cartoon begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS

A TWILIGHT SPARKLE CARTOON

Topsy Turvy Town

It was a dark and rainy day. Twilight, Ben, Spike, Nyx and Phobos sat on a bench in a jail cell in sadness. They can't believe that this is happening. The family is jail...for something they don't understand! And worst yet, no one else know where the Sparkle/Mare family is at.

Suddenly the family gulps as they heard the door to the cell open. A huge stallion in black with an axe appears, booming, "Twilight Sparkle and family...your time of punishment is at hand."

"Oh, this isn't good." Phobos groans out in worry.

"Right and the day started out good as well..." Spike sighs a bit as he recalls what happened that got him and the others in this mess in the first place.

Flashback

It was another day in Equestria as Twilight who is wearing a purple bow in her tail, Ben, Nyx, Spike and Phobos are on a small vacation, planning on a spending a day at a small beach. The family are spending time in a car that Celestia and Luna has loaned them for the trip. Of course, the group is about to have a day that may change their lives for the better...or worst as you will all soon find out.

As Twilight's group came to a fork in the road, Ben looks around. Twilight said in concern, "Benjamin Mare, I think we're lost."

Ben gulp, "We're not lost....... We're sightseeing."

Spike nods as he said, "Yeah, right. Maybe we should ask some pals to help us like Applejack or Rarity. But maybe Tao, he knows the road well. After all, he spent more thousand years being immortal."

"And let our heads get hit by the old pony again? Forget it." Phobos snaps to Spike in annoyance. The last thing that he wants is getting hit by Tao again.

"Come on, guys, let's not start the fight. Besides, Tao has been helping us since his appearance from 'Road to the End'." Nyx points out to her family, not wanting any fights to break out here.

"While I agree with that, Nyx, I'd prefer to let him rest. He's been helping us and fighting Demons too much. Don't worry, guys, we'll find the way out. No problem." Ben assures the others. Of course, the truth is, he secretly wishes to get Tao's help. The stallion has no idea where the beach is at. Maybe because Ben has forgotten to ask for directions, "So anyone got any idea on which way to go?"

"Uh..." Spike said, blinking his eyes as he looks between the two paths. One of them was filled with bright leaves and trees and the other has dead trees with no leaves. Spike shrugs as he points to the path with the dead trees, "That one?"

"That road with dead trees and leaves," Phobos asks Spike skeptically. "Bad omen!"

"Well, no problem. We will ask the locals that we can find for help." Ben said as he took that path, driving the vehicle on it.

Of course, taking this path was a bad idea as the roads begin to get bumpy. Nyx yelps a bit, "Gah! These roads are b-b-b-bumpy!"

"Ben, I thought you know what you're doing!" Twilight exclaims as she feels the bumpiness of the road.

"Next time, let's go somewhere with a tropical island!" Phobos complains as this road is to a bumpy start big time.

"I know what I'm d-d-d-doing!" Ben insists as he turns to the others, not paying attention to the road. "I'm sure we can be..."

"LOOK OUT!" Spike and Nyx scream at once. Ben turns but didn't react in time as the car that he was driving fell off the side of a cliff, crashing down like mad. Good news is that no one was hurt.

"Well, at least things can't get worst, right?" Spike asks with a sheepish smile. Of course, as if jinxing things, the whole car fell apart like mad, leaving the gang without a ride. As the others glare at him, Spike adds sheepishly, "Okay, now things can't get any worse."

Without warning, it begins to rain on the ponies and Dragons. Nyx sighs in annoyance, "Spike, don't even say one more thing that can't...just don't."

"Oh brother," Twilight groans as she took out a mirror and saw her purple bow in her tail destroyed and wet. "We're cold, wet, wrecked, lost...and my bow is destroyed."

"Everyone, calm down; everything would be fine if it was the exact opposite." Ben said to the others, trying to keep their hopes up despite how bad things has gotten.

Suddenly, the weather clears up, much to everyone's surprise. Phobos blinks while saying, "Huh. When he say that things get worst, they did; but when Benjamin says that things get better, they did; Irony!"

"What a weird weather we're having." Nyx said puzzled, "Must be some Pegasi in the area playing jokes."

"Look, over there!" Ben exclaims as he points to a town built nearby, much to the notice of the others. Maybe the gang can get some help there!

"Wow, where are we?" Twilight asks in surprise as she and Nyx looks at the town in awe. The mare doesn't recall this place existing out here.

"There's sign over there," Ben said as he points to a sign nearby...which appears to be upside down. "We will have to stand on our heads to read it...but from an angle, I'd say that this place is called 'Topsy-Turvy Town'."

"Well, at least it's a town."

"Let's see if we can ask for directions on how to get the beach." Spike said thoughtfully. The family can get their car fixed and find directions to the beach.

"All right, everyone. Here's what we will do. Spike, you and I will go over to a gas station to see if they can fix our car. Twilight, you, Nyx and Phobos can find someone who knows where the beach is at and get directions."

"No problem, daddy." Nyx said with a squeal as Twilight and Phobos nods in agreement. Sounds like a good plan.

"Meanwhile we will see if I can get myself a new purple bow for my tail. Come on." Twilight suggests as the groups went their separate ways, unaware of the trouble that they're going to be getting into that will land them all in that prison cell seen in the opening.

"Got a feeling that something's weird is going to go down." Phobos said to Nyx and Twilight with a frown.

"Relax, Phobos, things will turn out fine, you'll see." Nyx remarks with a chuckle. Of course, the filly has no idea how wrong she really is!

As Twilight's group head through town, they soon begin to notice some weird things. When the trio came across a light for 'Don't Trot/Trot', they try to go across at the 'Trot' signal...but jumps back in alarm to avoid cars going in reverse! They aren't supposed to do that! What's weird is that when the sign changed to 'Don't Trot', the trio was surprised to see ponies going across the street at the signal that normal ponies wouldn’t think of trotting across!

Weird! A bum pass by the ponies and gave Twilight a bit while saying, "Here you go." As he leaves, the group looks confused. How peculiar!

As Twilight's family kept on heading out, they pass by a playing and saw a foal having fun on a slide...by sitting on the bottom and sliding upwards before going down the ladder. Nyx blinks puzzled. That's weirder!

Twilight's group now goes by a beauty salon...or in this case a 'Salon Beauty' according to a sign on the building. The trio saw a bald mare with a huge nose coming out of the place. Phobos looks confused. They even saw a leaf blower...or a leaf messer...wearing shoes on his head and a hat on his hooves. Twilight, Nyx and Phobos saw him causing the leaves to sprung back while their colors change from autumn to spring!

Twilight, Nyx and Phobos saw another odd sight as a nest appears. A bird flew into it before turning straight into an egg. The trio could only stare in shock at this odd way of evolution.

Next off, Twilight, Nyx and Phobos saw a carwash going through a reverse cycle as a clean car came in before coming out dirty. The purple Alicorn then spots a dog being chased by a cat whose is being chased by a mouse! This bewildered our heroes as to why this town is acting different.

Twilight spoke in concern, "This town is getting stranger and weirder by every second we look."

Nyx nods as she adds, "I don't think I'm gonna get use to this kind of situation. I think we need some help to understand this town."

Phobos suggests, "Maybe we should have asked Tao."

"I thought you don't want him to hit your head."

"Okay, I admit. That was wrong of me to reject his help. His help can be helpful, but his riddles," Phobos groan at the riddle reminders, "They always give me a big headache."

Twilight giggles, "True. But like Ben said, Tao deserve to be rested. After all, he's a pony too like us. Even for an immortal like him or Princess Celestia, they need a break. I think we can handle it very well."

Nyx nods as she said, "Okay, mommy. I guess you're right." At least, the filly hopes that's the case, right?

Ben and Spike found a gas station...or a 'Noitats Sag' according to the sign. The two manage to push their car right over to the place which appears to be upside down. Ben calls out, "Hey, anypony here?"

An unicorn walking backwards trots in, exclaiming, "No. Good-bye. My name isn't Justin, and we are closed."

"Huh?" Spike asks in confusion. Why is this pony rejecting him and Ben now?

"Wait, we need your help!" Ben exclaims to the stallion in shock. "We want our car fixed. Any chance you could do so?"

Justin turns around giving an evil smirk to the two as he ask, "Excuse me? You want your car fixed? Do you really want your car fixed?"

"Yes, yes we do."

Justin shakes his head and opens the trunk before taking out machine parts. Ben and Spike smiles, thinking that their problem would be over...that is until the mechanic took out a mallet and begins breaking the car like mad.

"What the...?!" Spike asks as Ben looks shocked with his mouth open. "I didn't think that mechanics can be this bad!"

Twiight's group found a place that is called 'Bowtique'. The group looks through a window and saw a lot of bows. Perfect! Twilight can find what she needs in here!

"This will be great." Twilight said with a smile as she, Nyx and Phobos came inside the place.

Once inside the place, Twilight and Nyx begins putting small red bows in their tails, smiling while looking at themselves. But then a salesclerk, wearing socks on his hooves, came over, putting the bows on their manes while adding, "Here in Topsy-Turvy Town, you gotta wear your bows like this."

"Huh, weird," Nyx said as she and her mother put their bows back into their tails.

"We will take them." Twilight comments with a smile. Despite how weird this town is so far, nothing else will go beyond that, right? WRONG!

"Hey, stop, stop, stop!" Ben exclaims as he gallops over to Justin back at the gas station, stopping him from breaking the car. "What the hay are you doing?!"

"Well, didn't you ask me to fix this thing?" Justin asks Ben as if not understanding what his customer is making a fuss about.

"That isn't fixing it, stupid!" Spike snaps to Justin in annoyance. "You are breaking it!"

"What; are you a nut or something? Breaking is when I do this!" Justin snaps as he takes out a wrench as if to prove the baby Dragon wrong. As Ben and Spike watch on, the mechanic suddenly fixed the car quickly as if it was never broken. The two looks stunned as Justin takes the mallet out one more. "This is how I do fixing."

Justin goes back to smashing the car once more with his mallet. Ben looks dumbstruck then he grabs the mallet from the mechanic and exclaims, "Hang on, no! You got it backwards, Justin! This is breaking; Spike?"

Spike grabs the mallet from Ben then hits the car with the mallet while yelling, "SMASH, SMASH, SMASH; SEE? DOUBLE SMASH!" Justin blinks while the baby Dragon soon stops to catch his breath.

"See? Now this is fixing." The Earth pony insists. Justin just look at Ben bored as he hums a bit while working on a gear. But without warning, some oil got send out onto the mechanic's clothes. The Earth pony yelps as he takes a cloth out, "Oh, sorry. Let me clean that up for you."

Ben begins cleaning the suit with Spike's help...but then an angry Justin grabs the two while demanding, "What do you two think you're doing?! It is illegal to clean clothes!"

"What are you talking about?" Spike asks Justin, not sure what he and Ben did wrong.

"POLICE!"

Ben and Spike looks shocked as some cops appear and cuffing the two by their back legs and feet. What is going on?! The two are being arrested just for trying to clean up Justin's clothes?! Has this place gone mad?!

As the two are being taken away, Ben ask in bewilderment, "What just happened?! We were trying to help him clean his suit off."

"I don't know, Ben. By looking at this town and how the people act, I think we kinda doing the wrong way." Spike said, getting a bad feeling as to what he and Ben did wrong...or right or whatever.

"Wrong way; what do you -" Ben stops as he realizes something, "Of course! This is Topsy-Turvy Town. Everything we said and do normally is the opposite for them. Cleaning is illegal means dirtying them is legal!" His eyes are widened in shock. "Aw man!"

"I'd say we're in big trouble. We should have asked Tao."

Ben gulp in agreement, "Maybe you're right. We really need help."

Twilight's group are in trouble themselves. At the bow store, the Alicorn is trying to give bits to the clerk while saying, "Wait, you don't understand. We're supposed to pay you!"

"Not in Topsy-Turvy Town, miss!" The clerk snaps as he gave the money back to Twilight. "Here's your cash, don't come back again!"

"But we insist on paying!" Nyx exclaims to the clerk, not sure why this guy is giving money instead of taking.

"And I say keep it!"

"Look, you keep the bits!" Twilight exclaims, losing her patience with this weird cleak.

The clerk frowns as he gave the money back, snapping, "Look, keep it or I will have to get very pleasant with you."

"We don't take charity, you dope!" Phobos scowls as he gave the bits to the clerk, slamming it onto the counter. "Here, this is what we owe you! If you don't like it, call the cops!"

Satisfied, Twilight's group prepares to leave. But they fail to see the frowning clerk pushing a button underneath the counter which is labeled 'Everything's Fine'...and unfortunately if you were normal, it isn't fine for the folks in this town. And as Twilight's group leaves, they find themselves surrounded by police cars. Not good or bad!

As the police came out to arrest the group, Nyx exclaims to her mother, "Mommy, I think we're in trouble!"

"That can't be right. I just paid the bits to the owner, that's all." Twilight said in disbelief and concern. "I mean it's against the law in stealing the bow. It's the right thing."

"You mean the wrong thing." Phobos said in realization.

"Phobos, what are you talking about?" Nyx ask Phobos, not sure what her Moon Dragon is talking about.

"Think of what we did is upside down for this crazy town."

Twilight gasps as she understands what Phobos says while the police cuffed the group, "In other words: stealing is considered 'paying'?! I'm afraid Phobos's right. We did break one of Topsy-Turvy Town's laws."

"We should have asked Tao to help." Nyx said in regret as she and the others are being taken away by the cops.

Twilight gulps in agreement, "Maybe we should."

Twilight's group sat in the jail, looking downward in sadness. Phobos groans, "Oh great. What a bad day this is turning into and all because we are normal."

"I wish Ben was here right now..." Twilight sighs in sadness, which that Ben is here with her too. "And maybe Spike too..."

As if to grant Twilight's wish the hard way, the jail cell door was opened as Ben and Spike are thrown in. As they stood up, Nyx said in concern, "Daddy! Mommy, Phobos and I got arrested for trying to pay a clerk at a bow store!"

"What are you two in for?" Phobos ask Ben and Spike curiously, knowing that the two must’ve gotten arrested for doing something normal.

"We got into trouble at a gas station." Spike groans a bit while rubbing his tail. "We got arrested for trying to clean a mechanic."

As Ben and Spike sat down next to the wreck, the stallion said in sadness, "Everyone, I'm sorry. Perhaps I shouldn't have said that everything would be fine if it was the exact opposite."

Twilight smiles in sadness as she nuzzles Ben, saying, "It's okay. It isn't you fault, Ben."

"Right, being cold, wet, wrecked and lost sounds better right about now." Spike jokes a bit while laughing a little. At least it's better than what the group is going through right now. After a pause, everyone begins to sigh in sadness.

Suddenly the family gulps as they heard the door to the cell open. A huge stallion in black with an axe appears, booming, "Ben Mare, Twilight Sparkle and family...your time of punishment is at hand."

"Oh, this isn't good." Phobos groans out in worry.

"Right and the day started out good as well..." Spike sighs a bit as he recalls what happened that got him and the others in this mess in the first place. Nyx and Phobos look up...

End Flashback

...and the two are still doing it as the filly and Phobos saw the thought bubble with the flashback in it. Nyx blinks as she said, "Wow. We can even see our flashback too. How ironic before we die, huh?"

As the thought bubble disappears. Twilight and her family sadly follow the stallion in black, trotting through a hallway and pass some oddly shaped jail cells. After trotting upstairs, the stallion came to a stop on the last level then points down to the prisoners. Seeing no choice, Twilight, Ben, Spike, Nyx and Phobos kneels down while bowing their heads. This is it.

The stallion raises his axe, Twilight held onto Ben as both look up, ready for the big moment. The stallion then swung his axe down...

Right onto a lemon on a nearby table; In fact, he chops more lemons with his axe. Twilight and her family looks shocked at this, wasn't this stallion supposed to execute them for their crimes? It was then that they look at each other and realize something: this was Topsy-Turvy Town! So the opposite of a fate worse than death was...

The stallion gave drinks to the family with the lemons inside. Ben blinks while saying, "Uh, thanks..."

"Wait, you mean 'no thanks' right?" Spike ask, figuring out the language and ways of Topsy-Turvy Town, being 'no thanks' is 'thanks' to these ponies of this town!

The stallion nods as he goes over to a door nearby. As the pony opens it, he booms out, "Here is your punishment, everypony. ENJOY!"

Twilight, Ben, Spike, Nyx and Phobos smile as they see what's behind the door: a tropical island with a nice sunset! While they enter the place, Twilight spoke, "This is a tropical island?"

"Wow, who would have thought that Topsy-Turvy Town's punishment turns out to be freedom and a vacation." Nyx said in amusement.

Ben hugs his daughter while saying, "You bet, Nyx."

"What a weird day." Spike said with a smile. He thought that his life would end badly but it turns out to be better after all!

"I guess we're lucky, right?" Phobos asks the others with a laugh.

Suddenly, the group heard a flute playing. They looked around and saw a familiar face playing the said instrument, making them ask at once, "Tao?"

Spike asks Tao, "What're you doing here?"

Tao stops his flute playing, smiles as he explains, "A friend of mine: Humor of Mystic, Joker, inform me that he sensed complaints in his town in the near future. So I suspect that you did a mess in the opposite town."

"Tell me about it." Phobos groans while rubbing his head thanks to the confusion that happened.

Nyx begins to ask Tao, "Mr. Tao, this Mystic Joker, is he -"

Tao nods as he said, "That's right, Nyx. Joker built and founded Topsy-Turvy Town. Everything we did and said became the opposite of the normal things that we do. That is how Topsy-Turvy was created. This is their law. In fact, I watch everything from the top."

"So, you've been watching us from beginning? Why didn't you tell us about this town earlier?" Ben asks Tao in surprise, wondering why his friend didn't tell the family about the town before. It would've saved them a lot of headaches and problems!

"You'd never ask. You should have asked me earlier. So, you wouldn't be in this mess. One more thing: I only hit the ponies' heads when they are either deaf, blind, fool and not disciplined such as Phobos." Tao explains about why he would hit ponies' head. Phobos mumbles and grumbles. Tao smile as he asks, "So, what have you learned?"

"There's a lesson to learn?" Nyx ask, surprised that there is a lesson to be learned here.

Twilight, knowing what Tao meant, explains to her daughter, "I think there is, Nyx. Wherever town or place you go to, you need to respect and learn the town's culture, otherwise things get very unpleasant especially like this town."

"Besides, it's never too late to ask a good friend like him to help out, even though you want them to take a break." Ben said with a nod, knowing that perhaps it would've been better to ask Tao for help before they came to Topsy-Turvy Town.

"That is not precisely, my not good friends." Tao said. Everyone was shocked but Twilight, Ben and Nyx laugh a little bit, knowing what their friend really meant.

"Hey! What was that for, Tao?!" Spike demands, thinking that Tao is insulting him and the others.

"Why are you saying bad things to us now; Is it because we didn't ask your help; look, we're sorry! Okay? Happy?" Phobos scowls to Tao, thinking the same thing.

Nyx giggle as she explain to the Dragons clearly, "No, guys. Tao's saying it in opposite. He means 'Precisely, my good friends.' We are in Topsy-Turvy Town, after all. He's respecting the Mystic Joker's law."

Spike and Phobos thought for a moment before they grin, getting the idea. Ben smile as he does the same thing that Tao did, "We won't promised not to ask you again in the future, Tao."

Twilight nods as she adds, "We learn nothing in this place."

Tao smile while saying, "No lesson needed to learn, indeed. So, my not good friends, enjoy your punishment, for I am not going back home. Don't ask for my help."

Tao disappear in a puff of smoke. Twilight and her friends smile and laugh.

"Wow...sentenced to a luxurious tropical vacation and learning a lesson?" Twilight giggles a bit, "Oh, how...horrible."

"Yeah! Hooray for Topsy-Turvy Town!" Ben laughs a bit.

"Wait, don't you mean..." Nyx ask, reminding her father with a wink.

"Wrong, I mean boo for Topsy-Turvy Town!"

The family laughs as they prepare for their vacation...even after the weirdness and trouble that the five has gone through today.

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is done, the audience applauds for another good one.

Ben trots into the rehearsal room, looking around while smiling. The place looks empty...but for some reason, Ben sighs as he look down, recalling a conversion that the stallion heard from some of the guests a few minutes or so ago.

Flashback

Ben smile at the show while clapping his hooves. Just before he left, he heard something. The stallion saw the Dark Warrior Trio, members who work for the Dark Mystic Pony, Dark Curse: DJ Red a white unicorn stallion with a gentle red mane and he wore cool white jacket with his cutie mark being disco and black shoes, Clumsy Rat who is a greenish pale Earth pony with bandages on his top of muzzle and he has dark greenish hair who also wore black suit with his cutie mark being a rat, and finally there's Shades a pale Pegasus that has black straight and spiky main and he wore a gray jacket and orange sunglasses with his cutie mark being orange sunglasses. While Ben watches them, they were discussing.

DJ Red remarks to his pals, "Hey pals, heard the news on this house?"

Clumsy ask DJ Red puzzled, "Why are we here again, Red?"

DJ Red hits Clumsy Rat's chest before continuing, "We're the guests here till our roles come."

Shades speaking a bit, "I believe that will be a story about Fluttershy getting help from Dexter, right? After all, we're the servants of Dark Curse."

"You bet, Shades. Anyway, back to our topic. You heard the rumor about the upcoming music top?"

"Oh yeah, Twilight chose Flash Sentry as her music partner."

Clumsy smiles while saying, "Aw, that's sweet for them."

DJ Red smirk as he adds, "Too bad for Ben," Hearing that made Ben a bit concerned.

"Why's that?"

"A little birdy told me that Ben never get a chance to shine his moves on the stage before. He thinks that Flash should have a chance to sing. Can you believe that?"

Shades laugh cruelly, "Yeah. Aw, too bad for the kid. You know, I think Ben's jealous of his pal for being with his girl to sing."

Clumsy then said, "I'm kinda feel sorry for him."

DJ Red and Shades hit on Clumsy's chest. DJ Red scolds his pal in annoyance, "Don't sorry for that kid, Clumsy."

"Yeah, we're the bad guys while he's a good guy." Shades points out to Clumsy. "So it's our job to make good guys' life miserable."

DJ Red and Shades laugh. Clumsy spoke a bit, "I'd still feel sorry for him."

Ben sigh as he trots off. While those bad guys may not know it, but those insults that they made really hurt.

Flashback ends

Ben pauses and sigh some more. He should be happy that Flash was able to perform with Twilight...though the stallion was kinda hoping to perform with his love as well. Ben touches his hooves on the piano keys while examining the microphone.

Ben then sat down on the stage, saying with a frown, "Me; Jealous of my pal? No way! I wouldn't do that, would I? Aw man. I don't want to ruin my friendship with Flash. I know, he's my best buddy." He sigh while looking at the instruments. Ben felt left out of his own idea.

Just then Flash came into the room with Nyx, the former spoke up, “Hey Ben; I've been looking everywhere for you. I want to say thanks. That's the best gift that I ever had."

Ben gave a smile, trying to pretend that nothing's wrong as he said, "Umm, you're welcome, Flash."

"I'm getting excited for this part. I'm getting my performance to shine out with Twilight Sparkle. Man, she's good."

"Yeah, I know, Flash."

Flash notes the look on Ben's face; the pony appears to be sad about something. The Pegasus in concern spoke to his friend, "Hey; is something wrong?"

"Of course not; I'm happy to see you get your break and audition on." Ben said, trying to assure Flash that nothing has gone wrong. "After all, I did suggest it to Twilight." The Pegasus however frowns a bit. Something is up and he's going to find out what it is.

"Come on, Ben. You're not fooling me."

Nyx ask Ben in worry, "Daddy, what's wrong?"

It didn't take Flash long to realize what's going on with Ben. Flash gasps as he ask his best friend, "You and Twilight never done a performance on stage before, haven't you?"

Ben shakes his head, saying, "Yeah. That I didn't. "

"I'm sorry, pal."

"Hey, it's okay. I'll be fine. Besides, you'd better get prepared for your performance. I wouldn't want my best friend forever to lose his shine on stage. Excuse me, I've got a job to do."

Ben left. Flash begins to feel bad. He was so excited of getting a chance to perform on stage that he himself never took his friend's feelings into consideration. Flash never realize that Ben wanted to perform on stage until now.

"Is daddy lying?" Nyx ask Flash in worry.

"I bet my guts, Nyx." Flash said as he thought of something, then he smirk. "I think I know how to fix his problem."

As the big number is about to come up, Roclan calls out to the Spike villain known as the Hole, "Pass the salt!"

The Hole snaps to Roclan in annoyance, "I'm a bucking head in a wormhole, you idiot."

"Oooooooo!"

Pinkamena and Golden heart are watching as the former says, "I sense that Flash will be doing something to let Ben sing with Twilight."

Golden Heart spoke up, "I see, well I think that is a good thing that he will be doing."

"Yep but let's watch on."

Spike appears on stage as he smiles, saying, "All right, folks; The House of Pony is proud to present the singing talents of Twilight Sparkle and Fla..."

Suddenly a crashing noise is heard, getting Spike's attention as Flash is heard screaming, "OUCH! WHOA, OWIE, OUCH," The Baby Dragon winces a bit as he looks to the backstage area, wondering what just happened.

It was a few minutes later as Twilight, Ben, Nyx and Phobos looks shocked. Flash is in a wheelchair with one of his legs in a cast! An accident must've happened big time!

"Flash; what happen?!" Ben gasps to Flash in shock and worry.

"No idea, pal. All I did is keeping on practicing my style, and the next I got my leg broke." Flash explains as he winces a bit. "Man! That really hurt!"

"Now what," Nyx asks in worry. Twilight is getting worried as well. She and Flash has to do a number together! How will they do it with the Pegasus pony like this?

"We got to do our choreography number!" Twilight exclaims in worry. "What are we going to do?!"

Flash looks to Ben, pretending to be thinking as he suggests, "I know somepony who could take my place. Ben should do it."

Ben gasps in shock, "What?! You're kidding me, right? I don't even know the song!"

Twilight smiles as she gave a music book to Ben, saying, "It's okay, Ben. Here, just read along, and everything's okay. C'mon." The Alicorn rush off to get onstage, leaving the stallion worried.

"But Flash! Why?! Shouldn't you....... and Twilight...... be -"

"Hey, it's cool, Ben. You help me get on stage. But I need your help again, by singing the song, on my behalf." Flash said with a smile to his best friend. "So, don't worry about me. Now get out there and start singing!"

The Earth pony stallion pauses and smile a bit. Well, this is his golden opportunity to sing on stage, may as well take it. Ben left leaving Nyx and Flash smiling secretly.

"I hope daddy's okay and good at this." Nyx said to Flash hopefully. The Pegasus has to risk losing his chance to sing just to help her father.

Flash pat Nyx's mane while saying, "It'll be fine, Nyx. You've gotta to have little faith, okay?"

"Okay."

Spike appears once more as he said, "All right! And now, here is Twilight Sparkle and...Ben Mare!" The spotlights focus on Twilight and Ben onstage. As they begin to dance, the song number begins.

Twilight: Now, I say AB-stract.

Ben: I'd say abstract.

Twilight sighs, knowing that Ben didn't see the stress in 'Stract'. Still she kept on singing.

Twilight: I'd say COM-pact.

Ben: I'd say compact.

Once again, Ben didn't get the stress in 'Pact', but Twilight kept on performing. Would've been easier with Flash but still the show must go on.

Twilight: I would say... CON-tract.

Ben: I'd say contract.

Twilight and Ben: Who cares how you pronounce it?
We might as well announce it!
We're not exactly that's us!

Twilight: Really, I'm only an Alicorn.

Ben: And I am a Pegasus!

"Pegasus," Ben asks Twilight with a frown, noting how that line doesn't fit him at all. "Twilight, what gives here?"

The audience chuckles as Twilight said to offstage, "Just go to the bridge please." Soon a picture of a caramel apple appears, "Car-a-mel?"

"Ca-r-amel," Ben said, following Twilight. A picture of New Stallioans appears next in the background.

"New Stallioans?"

"New Stallioans."

"Saint Lunais?" Twilight asks as the Lunais Arches are shown now.

"Saint Lunais, see?" Ben repeats with a smile, so far getting the idea.

"Right; uh...lever."

"Lever!"

"Ca-rib-bean," Twilight said as she sits down near the background.

"Ca-rib-bean," Ben exclaims with a smile. Twilight now points to the Unicorn Town in the background, much to her colt-friend's surprise.

"Maris, YOU say Mare-ree!"

"Oh, I see..."

Twilight: Now, I say root

"Right." Ben said with a nod, so far getting it now.

And you say route

"Okay..." Ben pauses, trying to figure out what to do now with this sing.

Now don't you poot!

Ben chuckles a bit as he sings the next line.

Ben: I think you mean pout.

"Hey!" Ben exclaims with a smile as he finally figure out the song now.

I get it now! I figured it out!

Twilight and Ben: And as long as we're together
It doesn't matter whether
We're never ever down on our luck, not us!
'Cause we're friends

Twilight: Me the Alicorn

"All right!" Ben laughs as he finishes the song up.

Ben: And I'm a Pegasus!

Ben laughs eagerly as he exclaims, "Wow! I can't believe it! I did it! What do you think, Twilight?"

"Yeah, you did great, Ben, really." Twilight giggles to Ben while smiling. Looks like her love did good for his first time on stage.

Once the song is over, the audience applauds. The two lovers smile as they bow to the crowd, the song itself is a big success!

When the ones who mocked (most of them) applaud for the act; DJ Red ask his pals in amazement, "Did that prince kid -"

Clumsy finish for DJ Red, "Took over Flash Sentry as Twilight's new music partner?"

Shades, impressed, spoke up, "Wow, didn't see that coming."

"Yeah. Not to mention that Flash kid is actually helping Benny boy."

DJ Red and Shades got shocked and confused by what their colleague just mentioned. DJ Red is the first to ask in suspicion, "Clumsy, what do you mean 'Flash helped Ben'?"

Shades ask Clumsy curiously, "How did it happen, Clumsy?"

Clumsy shrugs as he answers, "Just a hunch, I guess."

The audience kept on applauding as our favorite main couple took their bows still. That performance was awesome!

Backstage, Flash smile at Ben and Twilight....while completely fine and out of the wheelchair. As it turns out, the Pegasus has faked his injuries to get his best friend on stage. Yeah, Flash would love to do so himself but Ben deserves it more; Maybe next time if he's lucky.

"That's my pal. I knew he could do it." Flash said with an approving smile.

Suddenly Nyx bring a glass of orange juice, along with Rarity and Pinkie Pie. The filly spoke up, "Uncle Flash, I brought the orange juice as you - Huh?!" Nyx, Rarity and Pinkie are surprised upon seeing Flash standing and out of the wheel chair. "Hey, aren't you injured?"

"Yeah. What are you doing with your legs standing?" Pinkie asks Flash in surprise.

"Um..... Nothing," Flash said quickly as he return to his wheelchair while placing his bandage on his leg. Of course, it didn't take long for the trio of mares to realize what's going on here.

"Of course, you fake your 'broken' leg, didn't you?" Nyx ask Flash in amusement.

"What for," Pinkie asks Flash in surprise. The pink pony is surprised that the Pegasus faked being hurt and missed his chance of going on stage like this.

Rarity in concern points out, "Flash darling, you would have sung on the stage with Twilight Sparkle. After all, it's your destiny."

Nyx having a thought smiles as she said, "Or maybe, you're actually helping my daddy to get on the stage."

Flash put his hoof on Nyx's mouth. The Pegasus then said with a nod, "Girls, just keep our little secret from anyone, and even from your parents, Nyx. Okay? Pinkie Promise," Flash decided that it's best that no one outside of himself and these three that no one else knows what truly happened (except for maybe Pinkamena, Golden Heart, Gold Wing and possibly the Dark Warrior Trio).

Nyx, Rarity and Pinkie smile as they do the Pinkie Promise, saying, "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

Nyx nods as she said, "Don't worry, daddy won't know about it."

Just then Ben came in. Flash smiles while saying, "Ben, good work, buddy; you did great."

"Thanks Flash. But it would've been better with you." Ben said to Flash with a smile, a bit disappointed that his friend missed his chance thanks to his 'broken leg'.

"Not with my broken leg, unfortunately."

Pinkie giggles a bit but yelps a bit, saying, "Didn't chuckle. Nope..." Luckily, Ben doesn't seem to notice the slipup.

Twilight came in, pulling Ben over while saying, "Hey, Ben! They want us to take another bow! How about we conclude the show, just the two of us?"

"Sure, let's go!" Ben laughs as Twilight drags Ben back to the stage to do the final bow. "Hope you feel better, buddy!"

"I feel better already!" Flash calls out to Ben with a smile. It's good to see his pal being happy and no longer feeling left out.

"That was very touching of you, Flash darling." Rarity said with a smile on her face.

"Come on, Rarity. You would've done the same for Twilight if you and her were in my and Ben's horseshoes; same for Pinkie and Nyx!"

"Say, good point!" Pinkie giggles eagerly while smiling. "I should break my leg for Twilight!"

And of course, Boris appears, saying while bragging, "No one breaks their leg like Boris!"

Phobos got irritated at this and said, "Is that so? Then let me help you with that!" And then, the Moon Dragon tackles Boris and beat him up while breaking his leg.

Flash chuckles while saying, "Boy, Boris should really need his mouth shut for once in a while."

"Yup," Nyx said in agreement. "That's what he gets for bragging too much."

"Indeed, Boris needs to learn that." Rarity said with a smirk.

Pinkie Pie giggles in agreement, "You betcha."

As Golden Heart, Pinkamena and Gold Wing watch, Pinkamena says, "Well that was neat."

Golden Heart nods, "Indeed but for now the show is coming to an end."

"Yep so folks until then see you next time."

Indeed, Twilight and Ben took their bows; the Alicorn concludes the show as she said, "All right, everypony! That is our first show of the second season! We will see you soon!"

House of Pony: Season 2

Episode Fifteen: Pinkie Pie for a Day

After a while, the House of Pony managed to get itself up on its feet once more while more folks and ponies begin to attend the shows. Twilight and her friends didn't do any big shows still, the gang decided to wait until the time is right.

Soon the Alicorn and the others, after a 'slip-up' by the Dark Warrior Trio' found out that Flash fakes his injuries. Luckily they forgave him since the Pegasus did help a friend in need after all. Flash promises that someday that he will be on stage...the other day just isn't that day, that's all. Rarity afterwards asked to perform a new act on a stage...though they just stared blankly at her. That white unicorn.

There are other ponies, meanwhile, who loved working on the job at the club. One of them is Shining Armor, Twilight's big brother. His job is to park cars then gives them back to the guests when they leave. Not much but the unicorn loves the job as it gets him away from much of the insanity that happens inside the House of Pony. Shining think that he would never get another job other than his...

Shining is about to see how wrong he is...

It was another day at the House of Pony as Spike, smiling, announce, "And now, here she is, the Alicorn Princess of Magic herself...Twilight Sparkle!"

We see the usual teleportation scene as Twilight appears in her Princess outfit, crown and all. The audience applauds for her as the mare exclaims, "Ta-da! Hey, everypony! Welcome to the House of Pony! Ponies seem to think that it isn't easy, being the host of this club and running the place. But with grand entrances like this, they hel..."

Without warning, a couple of Bushwoolies rush by, stampeding on Twilight...though one came back and throw water from a bucket, splashing her in the face before rushing off. The mare groans as the audience laughs, "Yeah, I got to make a note to give those guys the boot."

During this time, Pinkie hums happily as she serves a meal to Gen 1 Wind Whistler, saying, "All rightie, Wind Whistler, here you go! One Big Daisy Sandwich," The pink Earth pony put the plate down, she then notice that one of the olives suddenly roll off the place and right onto the floor. As it rolls off, Pinkie said sheepishly, "Oopish. Windy, don't move. Let me get that olive for ya!"

Pinkie dives down at what appears to be an object that is round. The mare calls it, "Got it!" Of course, the pony look surprised as she saw what she herself is really holding. "Hang on. You're an eyeball."

"Yeah, we know!" Hydia, who is sitting at a nearby table with her daughters, scowls in annoyance. "And I'd like that back!"

Pinkie yelps sheepishly as she gave the eyeball back to Hydia. Don't ask how or why. The witch got rid of the real olive as it kept on rolling a bit.

"Oooh, there's the olive!" Pinkie giggles as she follows the olive right underneath Surprise's table.

Surprise was enjoying a drink of tea when the teapot on the table opens up, revealing both the olive and Pinkie who came out of it. The Pegasus pony looks surprised (ironically) as she remarks, "Wow; Weird tea that I've gotten."

The olive heads to the kitchen. Pinkie caught it happily while calling out, "Gotcha, slippery little devil! I love this..." Of course, the olive slips out of her hooves, much to the mare's surprise. Pinkie kept on the attempt to catch it until the olive itself disappears from sight. "Weird. Where is it now?"

Pinkie spots the olive right on her mane making her smile. She was able to reach for it when Fluttershy's animal waiter friends open the doors, hitting the pink pony and sending her right to the entrance.

Rainbow was watching some Stonebacks coming in when she saw Pinkie rushing towards her. The Pegasus pony duck in time to dodge the pink pony who flew past her.

Shining was sitting outside as he is about to take a small break but looks startled as the doors flew open. Pinkie fell outside with the olive rolling off from her nose, landing right on the ground.

"Pinkie; Are you all right?" Shining ask Pinkie in concern.

"Awww, I'm all right as usual! Want an olive?" Pinkie asks happily as she picks up the olive and offers it to Shining. The stallion almost threw up as the food itself is now ruined from the situation that it has gone through.

"Dang, Pinkie couldn't be more random than usual!" A familiar voice spoke up. Pinkie and Shining saw Apple Bloom, the one who spot, walking into the club with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

"You betcha; Pinkie's okay but not cool like Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo commented. Sweetie giggles as the three fillies enter the building.

As Shining groans a bit, Pinkie smiles and put the olive onto her mane. She said happily, "Awww, no worries, Shining; The Cutie Mark Crusaders aren't being mean! I like being called random!"

"I don't know, Scootaloo may have a point in her own way." Shining said to Pinkie in concern. "Rainbow Dash technically she runs the club whenever my sister can't do it. Twiley, she's the host. You? You just wait tables and all."

"So is there a problem?"

"Pinkie, being the head waiter in the House of Pony must be the easiest job in Equestria for you, next to your other job at Sugarcube Corner! For one, I even get shorter wages than you, Pinkie!""

"SHORT," Lorcan snaps angrily to Shining as he passes by.

"I don't mean size, Lorcan!" Shining remarked to Lorcan in annoyance. Turning back to Pinkie, he continues, "Second, you get to order the Bushwoolies, Fluttershy and her animals around as well as read the silly menus."

"Whatcha mean 'silly menus'?" Pinkie asks Shining puzzled as Fluttershy came out to see if her pink pony friend is all right.

"You know, there's 'Appleloosa Apples', 'Cloudsdale with French Fries', and 'Luna Sandwich with Celestia Sauce'. Those are the only examples but you get the idea."

"Awww, come on! I work really hard on that menu, Shiny!"

"Then you take the food to the tables." Shining said, continuing showing examples of what Pinkie does.

"Go on..." Pinkie said with a nod, urging her friend's big brother to continue.

"...and you watch the guests to eat. Same with what Fluttershy does. Why, anypony could do that...even I could if I wanted to!"

"Oh, is that so?" Pinkie ask Shining with an amusing giggle. Suddenly without warning, she grabs his hoof and shakes it. "Well, congratulations, Shiny, and welcome to the job! You're now a waiter for one night!"

"Wait, what?" Shining ask in shock and alarm. Pinkie went and made him a waiter?!

Pinkie giggles as she pushes Shining right into the club to get started on his job (making note to find somepony to be in charge of the cars while he's gone). A concerned Fluttershy ask, "Pinkie Pie, are you sure that's good idea to hire Shining Armor as head waiter? I mean he's not only Twilight's big brother, but Captain of Royal Guard. He doesn't even know how tough being a waiter is."

Pinkie grins widely as she answers, "Why, of course. Since he said it's easy for him, we'll watch what he's good at."

"I don't like how it goes in this show."

"Trust me, Fluttershy. It'll be fine. Shining Armor will learn it the hard way."

Tonight is about to be an interesting one for Twilight's brother indeed.

Now on stage, Twilight smiles while saying, "All right, ponies! For your appetizers for this evening, we're going to be serving up one Pinkie Pie cartoon! Enjoy!"

The audience applauds as the first cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A PINKIE PIE CARTOON

How to Be A Waitress

"Yes, the humble waitress. It is the most dignified of service professionals."

Pinkie, wearing a waitress's outfit, smiling as she takes a breath. Time for her to do her job as waitress, mostly as a side job to pay the bills whenever the pink pony isn't working at Sugarcube Corner.

"Hey, waitress!" A pony calls out as he gives a dish to Pinkie. "Order at Table 2!"

Pinkie yelps, mostly because ponies are giving her a lot of dishes to deliver. That is too much even for the mare to take! Pinkie ends up falling down but manages to deliver the plates to the tables, then heads back to the kitchen to get more food to deliver as well as delivering dirty dishes to the kitchen to clean them up.

Pinkie gave a happy smile, delivering plates to table and pouring ice water into the glasses, also giving them to the customers. Sound fun so far.

"Yes, sir. Note the graceful movements as this happiness ballet is performed before us. Why, it takes of preparations as well as training to sharpen a waitress's grasp to help each customer, as well as keeping orders separated, and delivering the delightful dishes in a timely matter."

Pinkie begins entering and going out the kitchen various ways to deliver dishes, set up stuff up...but even it became fast to the point that she accidentally collided with herself, knocking the Earth Pony down to the floor.

"While maintaining absolute poise and dignity."

"Uh, Mr. Narrator? Sorry to interrupt you but being a waitress is something I do all the time at Sugarcube Corner." Pinkie said, groaning as she got up. "The job is fun, yeah, but I don't think a "How to" sketch would be necessary! I ain't that random. Isn't there an easier way to make a living?"

A chef frowns as she motions Pinkie to clean up the mess she made, which the meek pony begins to do so.

"Hmm, well, Pinkie, I gotta agree with you there. Even this job can be too much, even for you. In this case, that's why some waitress become movie stars."

"Oooh, movie star?" Pinkie giggles, imagining herself in Hoofywood. Now that's more like it! "That's a perfect job than being a boring waitress in place that ISN'T Sugarcube Corner. Can we do a "How to" sketch on that, huh huh?"

"Ha ha ha ha. All right. 'How to Be a Movie Star'. We shall start off with...PREPARATION!"

We see Pinkie in front of a blue background in a movie director outfit, black hat and all. This oughta be fun!

"An actor or actress's skills depends on her ability to quickly and believably display a wide range of emotions."

Pinkie sniffs and nodded. She is ready for this.

"Like anger, happy, sad..."

Pinkie responded to each emotion by growling angrily, gave out a silly expression, then she took out a box of tissues and blow her nose on them.

"...confused, hunger, disgust..."

Pinkie gave a confused look at her tissue as if wondering how it got there. The Earth pony then ate the tissue...then spit it out in disgust.

"...love, pain, giddy, fear, affection, madness..."

The narrator went through the emotions so fast, Pinkie is going fast too just to respond to each one when it comes to the right emotion. Pinkie then spins around, getting dizzy.

"...and finally, unconscious."

Pinkie then fell unconscious, groaning. That is a lot of emotions to go through!

"Very good. Now time we go to...THE ACTOR'S VOICE!"

Pinkie is now in a dressing room, holding out a bottle of throat spray for this next part.

"Just like an artist who uses a palette of colors to make a masterpiece, the actor must relies on his voice to deliver dialogue rightly."

Pinkie did not hesitate as she sprays the voice spray in her mouth. The mare smiling as she coughs. Time to do this and the pony knows what line to say for this.

"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, master," Pinkie spoke in the voice of Peter Mule. The pony shakes her head. Time to do it again. This time, Pinkie spoke as John Coltyne. ""How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, pilgrim?"

Pinkie shakes her head and said the phrase, this time on Neighponese. The mare smiles while nodding. Looks like she is ready for sure!

"Having mastered the right skills that are necessary, time to star in a movie!"

Pinkie yelps as a lot of ponies gave her a lot of things, like scripts and clothes. Once again, it's too much that cause our hero to collapse onto the floor.

"Ah, but what kind of movie, you ask? Well, we shall move on to THE FILM GENRE!"

The first genre we go to is a black and white short, which is like the old cartoon shorts of the 1920s/1930s.

"One good choice that an actor has is starring in a good old silent movie."

In the black and white segment, which is like watching "Steamboat Willie", we see a black and white Pinkie dancing while whistling. She drove a steamboat just like Mickey Mouse while pulling the horn to toot them. And just like the short, the horns did their tooting, while kicking the little horn, making it toot as well.

Of course, without warning, the steamboat that Pinkie is driving hits the one that Mario Mario himself is driving and causing it to sink. The plumber turns, yelling at the sinking boat that Pinkie is in. Of course, no one knew what the plumber is saying. That is until card appears which said, "Mama Mia! Not-a-again! I'm-a working on this-a side of the river! Get-a your own movie, pony!"

"Right, bad idea. How about another genre? Like a Western flick!"

We now see Pinkie in a Western setting, wearing cowpony clothes. The pink pony giggles as she swing around a few lassos. No wonder Applejack likes doing this!

"Yippie-ki-ay, cowpony! The Western is another classic movie choice!"

Unfortunately, the lassos which Pinkie is swinging begins to get her into the air, causing the pony to crash into the ceiling. The pink pony yelps as she begins getting pulled up and down like a yo-yo. How embarrassing!

"Ahem. Moving on!"

We now go to another setting which is a castle one. Brian, dressed in the role as the prince, came out while chuckling.

"Ah, yes. It's the Love Story genre. Now that's a choice that is sure to win the hearts of many ponies!"

Brian sniffs a rose as she drops right towards Pinkie who caught and sniffs it right back. The pink pony begins to climb up the ladder...which ended up breaking, causing her to fall down. The pink pony frowns as she rushes off, returning with a one-sided ladder. Pinkie uses to climb up to Brian.

Of course, once Pinkie got to the top, the ladder runs ended up breaking off, so the actress ended up walking on stilts before tripping, sending her to the ground once more. Pinkie groans then runs off, returning with a mechanical lifter. This has to work!

Pinkie got on as the lifter went up, allowing her to take Brian. Except for one problem: the machine is still going up, crashing right into the ceiling.

"Wow, looks like the romance scenes isn't your thing, Pinks." Brian said to Pinkie who gave him a sheepish grin.

"Next up is the Monster Chillers!"

Brian, dressed normally, looks around in fright. He took out a flashlight, holding to give him some sort of comfort.

"The Monster Chillers is one goosy-loosey-pimply way to scare up some stardom."

Brian nervously shines a flashlight on a bat which dissolves into smoke. Soon, standing there was Pinkie, dressed as a vampire. She, being scary, booms out, "Blah, blah, blah some more!"

The result? Brian screams as he hits her with the flashlight. The stallion screams as he kept running from Pinkie who is dressed as a lot of movie monsters...but kept clobbering her each time. Pinkie, in her mummy costume, frowns as she got clobbered once more. What is up with Brian today?

Having enough, Pinkie came back in her normal wait, saying, "Brian, it's me, Pinkie Pie!" Brian screams as he hits her with the flashlight like mad. This causes Pinkie to run off with her boyfriend in hot pursuit. "Owie! Hey, stop, Brian! I ain't in a monster disguise! Ouch!"

"Sorry, but I'm still terrified when I saw "Cupcakes"!" Brian exclaims as he kept on hitting Pinkie. "Come back so I won't be turned into a cupcake!"

"Ouch! Curse that meanie for starring me in that fic!"

"Let's move on to...the sci-fi epic, shall we?"

Pinkie is putting on an astronaut helmet before putting a rocket on. At least this is much safer than the previous genre.

"Now the sci-fi epic offers a universe of out of this world thrills!"

Pinkie hears the rocket starring and prepares herself. However, the pink pony ends up getting blasted all over the place, knocking pieces off everything before getting out of the soundstage, landing on the floor.

Of course, as Pinkie recovers, she yelps as Brian runs at him with the flashlight, "EEEK! NARRATOR, HELP!"

"No problem, Pinkie. In the end, all that hard work pays off. This is evening that every movie stars is dreaming of. The big night...AWARDS NIGHT that is."

A few months later, cameras rolls at the red carpet, flashing as Pinkie, in a dress, waves towards a huge crowd while signing autographs wherever she is. This is it, the big time!

"Yes, the cream of Hoofywood's ponies comes out to recognize the biggest movie stars in their most unforgettable roles!"

The award ceremony is already in progress. Pinkie watches as the host, Brian, reads off the nominees for Best Actress in a Movie role, which are Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Diamond Tiara, and Pinkie herself.

"And the winner is...Pinkie Pie!" Brian exclaims. The audience applauds making Pinkie give out a wide grin. She won!

"Yay!" Pinkie exclaims as she rush onto the stage to get her award. Turning to the audience, the mare spoke, "I like to thank Equestria and every pony for this award. Hay, I even made this cute little speech!" The mare takes out what appears to be a small speech, but when she folded it, it's pretty long to be honest.

"All right, off the stage, you're done!" A pony snaps as he pushes Pinkie off the stage. No time for speeches!

Pinkie is now entering a movie theater as folks look up. Time to see what first movie that the Earth Pony starred in that made her a big hit in Hoofywood.

"And now, all eyes turn to the silver screen in anticipation. Here it is, the big scene, the one that started it all, the one that made a movie star."

The folks quiet down as the movie begins. Pinkie smiles as she hears a seductive voice, "Excuse me, but..."

Suddenly the voice turns loud as the camera back up. Pinkie was acting all right...but she is back in the restaurant scene, playing a waitress in that movie!

"ALL RIGHT IF I GET SOME COFFEE, HOW ABOUT IT?!" The voice demands loudly.

"Okie dokie lokie, sir!" Pinkie exclaims, putting some coffee into the pot. "Want some cream with that?"

And thus, Pinkie's circle begins a new in the very restaurant that she was a waitress in. Yeah, it's weird that being a waitress in real life would pay off to act like one in a movie, but it helps.

"Yes, isn't it nice to get away from that silly boring job? Take a bow, Miss Pie! You are indeed a movie star!"

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is over, everyone applauds, it is a big story. In the backstage area, another story is about to begin as Pinkie calls everyone up for a quick meeting. And boy, Shining looks embarrassed about it.

"Hey, ponies, quiet down! I got an announcement to make!" Pinkie giggles towards Twilight, Ben, Rainbow, Rarity, Nyx, Spike, Fluttershy and Brian who looks up in interest.

"Are you going to get marry?" Nyx ask her Auntie Pinkie hopefully.

"Nope, but it's better! Squee!"

"Pinkie, is this really necessary?" Shining whispers embarrassedly to Pinkie.

"Yep! After all, this is your first day on the job, following in your sister's footsteps!" Pinkie exclaims proudly to Shining.

"Err, Pinkie? You aren't my sister. Twilight is. And she hosts the show, not being a waiter."

"Yep, but you get to be in the big girl role just like her in some way!"

"Oh boy." Shining said, groaning a bit while slapping his face.

"Uh, you may want to get on with it, if it's okay." Fluttershy said quietly to Pinkie.

"Okie dokie lokie! Shining, better wear your own horseshoes, because mine got my hooves in them!" Pinkie giggles as she claps her upper hooves. Turning to the others, "Fluttershy also knew this but the rest of you should know. For the day only, Shining will be the head waiter right here at the House of Pony, so I want you all to make him feel more welcome Super Duper than usual!"

"Pinkie!" Shining groans a bit, more embarrassed.

"Wow, that's great, big brother!" Twilight exclaims happily to Shining. "You get to work inside the place with me from now on! Like siblings working together!"

"Yeah, now everyone in my side of the family is working inside!" Nyx exclaims happily.

"Oh yeah, this is going to be awesome!" Rainbow remarks, throwing a hoof into the air. "And think, if Pinkie gets sick or has to do another party, you can fill in with experience and with Captain of the Guards stuff, as well as Crystal Empire prince experience!"

"I should say, Shining, waiting tables is a big responsibility as well as a lot of work, darling." Rarity said, giving a word of precaution to Shining. "May I ask, are you up to it?"

"Hey, I can handle it!" Shining laughs in amusement. If Pinkie can handle being a waiter, so can he!

"Right, I'm curious, Shining." Brian said in amusement. "I heard a rumor that you will be after Twilight's job. Is that true?"

"Wait, what?!" Twilight yelps in a panic. Her eyes widened as she flew around in circles. "No! My big brother is after my job?! Really?! Ben, help me! I can't fail the princess! I will be send back to Magic Kindergarten! Hold me!"

Ben rolls his eyes as he hugs the crying Twilight, insisting, "Twiley, calm down. No one is after your job, not even Shining. Honestly, it's only a rumor after all."

"Oh, really? Oh, right, yes. I knew that. Good thing it was only a rumor in the first place. Never believe a word of it."

"Right, sure."

Ben and Nyx roll their eyes as the filly said to Brian, "Brian, you shouldn't freak mommy out like that."

"Hey, I heard the rumor, I didn't make it." Brian said to Nyx with a shrug. "I just want to make sure of its true or not before causing another panic like last time."

Shining took a deep breathe. Time to get to work on his temporarily job.

Pinkamena and Golden heart were watching the show as Pinkamena says, "Well seems like Shining Armor is going to be a waiter for the day."

"Ok, let's hope things go well." Golden Heart said, nodding in agreement.

"Same here and I am sure someone will be in charge of the cars."

"Indeed, but let’s watch on."

Lorcan Hyde nearby roll his eyes as he remarks dryly, "Like I haven't heard that before."

Shining grins as he goes over to a nearby table in the dining room. Time to get this going.

"Good evening! I am Shining Armor and I will be your waiter tonight, Master Tao!" Shining said, with his eyes closed.

"What, Master Tao?!" A familiar voice ask in annoyance. Shining opens his eyes and realize, to his shock, that he was talking to Seto the Changeling. "Oh, now you're calling me by that old goat's name? I feel shocked and upset. Now you hurt my feelings. Allow me to introduce you to my pals, Fred and Ed!"

"Let's get him, Fred!" Ed exclaims as he and Fred appears and jumps at Shining, preparing to beat him up. The Bushwoolies and animals watch from nearby, cringing as they prepare for the hurt.

"Hey hey hey! Stop that!" Pinkie exclaims as she jumps in and pushes the Changelings away from Shining. "He's a good pony, break it up, you two meanies! Stop that!" As Shining got up, the pink pony brushes him off. "Geez, you better be careful around Changelings. They can be grumpy nasty meanie pants. Uh, no offense, Seto."

"None taken." Seto remarks with a shrug.

"Tell you what, Shiny. I will show you how to wait Tables right."

Shining chuckles a bit while rolling his eyes, "Pinkie, while I like the offer, I don't need help, really."

"Oh, yeah, I see. Because 'anypony could do that...even you could if you wanted to'." Pinkie remarks in amusement as she repeats what the stallion said earlier. As Shining heads off, Pinkie giggles. "Okie dokie lokie. Have fun!"

"Thanks. I will."

Now at the table of the Drake Trio, Shining came over with a covered dish. He puts it onto the table, saying, "All right, one Golden Beetle for you guys."

Of course, when Shining removes the lid on the dish, the guests saw that there isn't anything on there at all.

"What the-?!" Boomer exclaims, getting upset. "Yo! Waiter! Where the heck is my Golden Beetle! Are you trying to cheat me or something?!"

"Come on, Boomer! You know me. I wouldn't do such a thing." Shining insists, looking bewildered by this. "It was really there before!"

"Nice going, Armor Boy."

"I think he's telling the truth. After all, we did order the life rare and spicy Golden Beetle." Rob said thoughtfully.

"I am Grunt." Grunt said in his own way of speaking.

Boomer understanding him ask in shock, "Are you serious?! The bug is on him?!"

"What?!" Shining yelps as he moves around, trying to get the Golden Beetle off himself, if it was there at all at least. "Get it off me! Get it off me!"

"We'd better help him now!" Rob exclaims to his pals in concern.

"Or we get the meal out of him... Get him! Don't let it get away!" Boomer exclaims as he and Grunt got the forks out and tackles Shining to the floor.

"I AM GRUNT!" Grunt yells out madly, preparing to get his beetle big time.

"Oh no... Stop!" Shining screams in alarm, trying to knock Boomer and Grunt off of himself.

The animals and Bushwoolies cringes a bit. The leader frowns as he whispers to his colleagues. This is far enough!

As Ben was watching his schedule backstage, Fluttershy came over, speaking, "Oh dear! Ben, we got a problem."

Ben looks up and saw the animals marching around, carrying sign that said 'No, Shining, No, Shining' on them. A Bushwoolie was speaking into a megaphone, exclaiming, "We want bad pony out now!"

"Hey, hey, what's going on here?" Ben ask the waiters in concern. "Why aren't you doing your jobs?!'

"Bad pony. Sparkle's brother!"

"Wait, is Shining doing okay at his job?"

The animals yells out angrily, speaking their opinions. Fluttershy, translating, explains, "I don't think Ben is doing well at his job at all."

"So Shining is doing bad at his job?" Ben ask the animals and Bushwoolies in concern. The head Bushwoolie took out a note, giving it to Ben who reads it. "Yikes! You've formed a union and now you're on strike?!"

"Yeah, yeah!" The Bushwoolie exclaims in agreement. "Until things get improve, we're on strike! Bye!"

The Bushwoolie continues yelling into the megaphone while Ben and Fluttershy groans in concern. Shining's work is not doing well at all!

A smiling Twilight is on stage, speaking, "All right. If cartoons really make you hungry, folks, then I know you will love this next one, because it's 'Hungarian'!"

The audience applauds as the next cartoon of the night begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

Maestro Ben 2 - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6

"Good evening, folks. Welcome to another performance in the Ponyville Concert hall. Tonight, our prince and infamous inductor, Ben Mare, has come back for his rendition of the infamous Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6, written by famous composter Franz Pegasus. Please, give him a moment of light please."

The curtains open as Ben, in the conductor's outfit, came up to the usual conductor's podium. The pony raises the conductor's stick to get the music ready. As the spotlight appears on Ben, the music begins.

Ben with a smile, conducts the music slowly. So far, the melody is beautiful, all the instruments are playing their parents. Every one of them are obedient. Like the horns, the drums, the cellos, the one violin...

Wait. There wasn't anything for a violin in this performance! Suddenly the violin itself begins stealing the spotlight, performing its own solo. That is until Ben came over, glaring at the instrument, causing it to go back to its corner, standing still. Ben smiles as he continues the performance, it was a nice melody once more, especially with the harps that are playing nicely...

However, the violin snuck over to the horn section, then grabs a trombone, playing around with it. Ben, hearing, glares at the trombone and begins chasing the violin in hope to get rid of it. The rogue instrument goes to various instruments, playing them like the clarinet and the cello. It's enough to cause Ben to spin around dizzily while the cellos begin falling.

Ben snaps his hooves, getting an idea. He manages to get a violin case that the violin came from and went back to the podium. The rogue instrument begins to make a jump...but it ended up landing in the case. Ben closes it tightly, smiling. That's the end of that!

As the violin was wigging tightly in hopes to get freed, Ben smiles as he conducts the music, finishing the piece up. Once the performance is done, Ben and the other instruments bow to the applauding audience as the curtain fell.

"Well, this concludes the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6. And what a great performance by conductor Ben Mare. He would've do another classical piece, but right now, the Earth Pony is punishing a violin that was causing a ruckus throughout the performance. Thanks and good night, folks!"

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is over, the audience applauds eagerly a cartoon well done!

Ben sighs in the dining room. At least, he, Nyx and Fluttershy was able to calm the animals and Bushwoolies down, getting them to get back to work by promising to triple their salary (plus, Nyx's cuteness and Fluttershy's Stare helped out).

As Ben check the schedule, Twilight came over, asking, "How are things going with Shiny?" The stallion didn't say as he points to the general direction of the audience, making the Alicorn notice. She cringes, "Ouch. That bad?"

Sure enough, in the dining area, Shining is getting the other waiters to get orders to the table, but he is getting a bit stressed and worried.

"All right, uh, the hay fries goes to Dragon Kick? Uh, Aqua gets the Water Stroker." Shining said, freaking out. He yelps as a blast hits him on the flank. While waving his tail off, the unicorn spoke, "Hey, Nightmare Moon. Your Soup of Darkness is coming right up!"

"Hey horn head!" Boomer calls out from his table in annoyance. "We didn't get our Golden Beetle...oh, and here's your underwear!" The Dragon smirks as he holds up a pair of underwear that Shining lost during the struggle earlier.

"I am Grunt." Grunt said with a grunt.

"Grunt said that we want the Mystic Pony Scarabs with extra fire sauce!" Rob calls out, making Shining nods as he wrote the order down.

"WAITER!" Surprise calls out with a frown to Shining. "There is a hare in my salad!"

Sure enough, there's the Moochick's rabbit pal sitting in the soup, pouting. Brian came over, snapping, "Hey, waiter! Where is my chocolate banana sundae?! I have been waiting for it for an hour now!"

Just as Shining was going to respond, he yelps as Discord spills water onto his head. He snaps, "Well, I didn't order decaf, Shining! This is how you treat your sister's friends?!"

Shining groans as he slaps himself on the head. This job is too much for him! He can't stand it!

Shining was heading to the kitchen, using his magic to bring a few dirty dishes...when the animals rush out with new ones, knocking the unicorn down. He sighs, dizzily.

"Hey, Shining!" Pinkie exclaims happily, bouncing over to Shining. "Wow, are you okay?"

"I'm okay, Pinks." Shining groans, getting back up. "But this job is tough! I don't know how you or even Fluttershy do it!"

"It's easy, silly! You're going a great job in handing it yourself."

"What? This is a good thing? Seriously?"

"Yep!" Pinkie exclaims happily. "Messing up builds character!"

"I don't mess things up, Pinkie!" Shining snaps to Pinkie in annoyance.

"Awww, of course you aren't. That is why you don't need my or Fluttershy's help!"

"Well, to be honest...that's the one thing I do need."

"Nope, you don't." Pinkie said with a chuckle to the upset Shining.

"Yes I do." Shining said to Pinkie with a deep frown.

"No you don't!" Pinkie exclaims to Shining with a smile.

"YEAH I DO! I need your help, I can't do this by myself! Please, help me, ask Fluttershy to help, but help me!"

"Awww, Shining." Fluttershy giggles as she flew over. The Pegasus pony has overheard what he said. "Just like Applejack when she tried to do Applebuck Season by herself, you only need to ask."

"Yep, I was testing ya as a friend. We will give you all the help you need." Pinkie said to Shining with a helpful smile.

"Oh, thanks." Shining said with a sigh. He will need all the help he can need for this job.

In the kitchen, Mr. and Mrs. Cake came over with the dishes as Pinkie and Fluttershy are preparing to help Shining out.

"Well, Shining. We're going to teach you a trick or so to help make this job better." Fluttershy said to Shining with a smile.

"Right, here goes and to the tune of a popular song!" Pinkie exclaims. She then begins to sing to the tune of 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'.

Pinkie: It's...

Pinkie gives the dishes to Shining who uses his magic to hold them.

...soup or salad,
Fries or biscuits,
Extra olives, donuts!

Fluttershy pushes Shining out to deliver the dishes, but only to the wrong guests.

Fluttershy: Know the menu of this venue,
Do not be a slow klutz!

The customers look at their dishes, gasping as they give mean looks to Shining.

Get the order right or else
The customers'll go nuts!

Shining gets an assortment of the right items that Pinkie threw at him while singing.

Pinkie: Soup or salad,
Fries or biscuits,
Extra olives, donuts!

The Bushwoolies then brings Shining into the table and right out with new dishes while being clean and fresh. They all sing, "Yumdiddliddlumdiddleei, Yumdiddliddlumdiddleei!"

Blue Berry and Oliver Oreo smiles as the former waves to the waiters. Fluttershy came over with some honey on oats when Shining grabs and delivers.

Fluttershy: The guy at table twenty
Wants some honey for his green peas!

Pinkie pushes Shining to Lord Tirek, Whimsey Weatherbe and Cassie the Kelpie, pointing to them while singing.

Pinkie: Hold the pickles
Hold the lettuce
Hold the, ick, anchovies!

Fluttershy: Who would order pizza with
No crust, no sauce, and no cheese?

Wind Whistler and Applejack, both from Gen 1, points at Surprise who points to her with a smile as she hears that; the silly pony points at herself while doing so. Pinkie sings while looking at a dirtied Lorcan.

Pinkie: Soup or salad,
Fries or biscuits,
Extra olives, check please!

Shining smiles, he got the ideas. So the stallions join the animals and Bushwoolies in cleaning up Lorcan to be nice and new. The waiters sings, "Yumdiddliddlumdiddleei, yumdiddliddlumdiddleei!"

"Yes, this job is pretty tough." Fluttershy said to Shining kindly.

"Not as tough as the substitute steak." Shining remarks, smirking at the joke.

"See? You got it now!"

The group serves some substitute meat to Dragoking while the Drake Trio got some dipping sauce for their Golden Beetles, which they got at least which they eat happily. Pinkie, smiling, kept on singing.

So even if they tell you
That they want some heated cold cuts,
Or some mustard mixed with custard
With to dip who knows what!

Pinkie put glasses down which Fluttershy pours drinks into.

Fluttershy: A waiter's work is never done;
No ifs, no ands, no buts!

The waiters are putting down the dishes as Pinkie sang next.

Pinkie: Soup or salad,
Fries or biscuits,
Extra olives...

The song is finished up as the trio held up donuts over Twilight who grins.

Pinkie, Fluttershy and Shining: Donuts!

Once the song is over, the trio took their bow as the audience applauds.

Ed and Fred were ready to pounce but Pinkamena grabs the two by the necks and is giving a dark glare.

"You both best behave or I am going to have Cupcake flavor Changelings and you two are on the list." Pinkamena said threateningly.

The two sweat like mad and dash into their seats and shiver. Pinkamena slowly walks off as the two slowly turn looking. She back near them and they return to sitting behaved as the mare moves off screen and sits with her brother.

"Well the next show is about to start and also it will have Lord Eric and the Keyblade wielder Sora." Pinkamena said with a smile.

"I wonder how Sora is doing these days." Golden Heart said curiously.

"Well last time I recall.................well it was some time ago, I still owe him so very much for him helping me save you from being turned into a Heartless."

"I will never forget that day you know."

"All right, ponies, get your dinner dates ready for this final cartoon of the night!" Twilight announces happily as she came onto the stage. The audience applauds as the final cartoon begins.

JUSSONIC PRESENTS...

A SORA AND LORD ERIC CARTOON

Sora and Lord Eric's Dinner Date

Sora and Lord Eric pants, arriving at the Carousel Boutique. Sora is holding powers looking concerned. He and Lord Eric are late for their dates.

"Two minutes later. Hope Kairi can forgive us for being late." Sora mumbles in concern as he rang the doorbell.

"Relax, I'm sure they will. They do love us, right?" Lord Eric ask Sora. The two yelps as the door is answered by an upset Rarity and Kairi. "Okay, I could be wrong."

"Oh hey, girls...uh, ready for our date?"

Sora holds the flowers to Kairi who took them. She groans while pointing to the clock, "Well, we were ready 2 minutes ago. But really, guys? Being late?"

"Right. Forgive me but you two are the worst people in the whole world! Why, not only are you slow in thinking up last minute stuff, but every time we go on a date, single or double, one of you also gets upset over the smallest things and lose your temper." Rarity said sternly. "Why, I don't know if either of us want to see you again!"

"Come on, we wouldn't do that!" Sora exclaims in protest.

Kairi scoffs as she closes the door onto the two. Needless to say, Lord Eric got back as he fires blasts at the door, throwing a huge temper. Needless to say, when it's gone, the male unicorn yelps as the girls are still standing right there.

"Okay, maybe Lord Eric, but not me." Sora said meekly.

"See, that proves Rarity's point." Kairi said with a groan. "We can expect that from Lord Eric but I am worried about how you will act, Sora."

"Come on, Sora. We're sorry we're late. I promise, what happened on our date the last time, won’t happened again."

"Heck, I will make sure not to get mad or even throw my temper during our date!" Lord Eric insists, pleading to Rarity. "Please, give me another chance."

"Well, I am a lady so I will hold you to that. At least you're willing to forgive yourself unlike that idiot Blueblood." Rarity said with a sigh. She whispers quietly to Kairi who whispers right back. The boys waited as Rarity spoke again, "Very well. It's decided, boys. If neither of you lose your temper once for the whole date, we shall stay with you."

"But I promise, mess up once and it's over, guys." Kairi said sternly. "Sora, I hear Riku is looking for a new girl."

Sora groans, feeling like losing it. But the Keyblade holder calms down, taking a deep breath as he said, "No problem, I will behave."

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Lord Eric said, doing the Pinkie Promise. "There, I won't even break that promise or risk Pinkie hurting me."

"Very well, all right." Rarity said with a nod. "Now, how about you two boys take your ladies out to dinner, hmm?"

"Right, sounds fair."

The boys take the girls by the arm or forelegs as they head out to dinner. Hopefully everything will turn out well by the time it's over.

Inside a restaurant, the couples take their seats, preparing for dinner. Rarity warns the boys, "Just don't forget. If either of you boys lose your temper even once, you may as well stick a fork in you both. It's over."

"Right, remember that." Kairi said to the boys in agreement.

"Relax, girls. Everything will turn out fine." Sora said, scratching the back of his head.

Suddenly two familiar ponies in waitress outfits, flew down (or jump down in Pinkie's case) from the ceiling. Rainbow exclaims, "Hey everyone!"

"Gah! Rainbow? Pinkie Pie?" Lord Eric ask in surprise to see his two friends. "What are you two doing here?"

"Pinkie and I are working here in a side job."

"And luck be have it, we're your waitresses tonight!" Pinkie exclaims happily as she took the cloth that the mare is holding on her forearm...and accidentally slaps Sora with it.

"Hey!" Sora growls, preparing to get his Keyblade out.

"Temper, Sora, temper." Kairi said, giving a stern warning to Sora. The boy groans but put his Keyblade away.

"That's great to hear. Heh heh."

"Yeah, you two are awesomely lucky. You get the best table in the house, which is right next to the kitchen!" Rainbow points out. Sora and Lord Eric saw the kitchen doors right near their table. The two hears some crashing, making them wince.

"Okie dokie lokie, how about some water and breadstick to start things off?" Pinkie ask playfully, holding a pitcher of water.

"Yes, of course." Rarity said with a smile while nodding.

"Go ahead." Kairi nods to Pinkie who begins pouring water into her cup.

As Pinkie pours water into Lord Eric's cup, she calls out loudly through a megaphone, "HEY! THE UNICORNS AND HUMANS WANT BREADSTICKS FOR TABLE 29!"

Of course, Pinkie ends up moving her foreleg, causing ice cold water to be pour right onto Lord Eric, making him yelp. The unicorn growls as his horn begins to shine, about to lose it.

"Why, Lord Eric. Is that your temper showing?" Rarity ask her colt friend suspiciously.

Lord Eric calms down, saying with a smile, "Why no, actually no. Of course not. Just a little wet."

"Good! Heard you made a Pinkie Promise. And you ponies know how I hate it when folks break a Pinkie Promise." Pinkie said, giving a stern look to Lord Eric. She always know when someone makes a Pinkie Promise or breaks it. And trust me folks, you don't wanna get on her bad side if you break a Pinkie Promise, even one!

"Now then, we will be right back to take your order!" Rainbow exclaims as he and Pinkie heads into the kitchen...only for the door that was opened to smack Sora out of his seat. The Keyblade holder groans as he got back in. Hopefully it will be worth it!

It was a little later as the couples look at the menus for something to eat. Rarity nods as she and Kairi closes her menu, the mare said, "We are ready to order, boys. Can you get the waiter?"

"Right, sure." Sora said as he turns to the kitchen, seeing Rainbow coming out. "Hey, Rainbow? Excuse..." Of course, the human saw that the Pegasus pony is delivering a load of dishes. Sora frowns but smiles upon seeing her come back. "Hey, Rain..."

Of course, Rainbow passes the table once more with dirty dishes, planning on putting them into the dishwasher inside the kitchen. As she goes inside, Sora smiles sheepishly at the impatient Rarity.

"Hey, excuse me..." Sora calls out to Rainbow who comes on out...with a wheelbarrow of food. The human groans as his friend comes back with more dirty dishes. "Hey, excuse me, hello?"

Sora does his best not to lose his temper, especially since the others are keeping an eye on him. Lord Eric, trying to help, blows a horn and uses his magic to waves some flag in hopes to get Rainbow's attention. The mare kept delivering food in weird ways, delivering dirty dishes in weird ways too...only to break them.

Sora hold up a stop sign to get Rainbow's attention but it didn't work. The human is about close to losing his temper as he slams his face.

"Are you going to lose your temper, Sora?" Kairi ask her boyfriend suspiciously.

"No, no, of course not." Sora said, taking a deep breath while counting to ten. "I wouldn't do that."

Suddenly Pinkie pops up, causing Sora to jump up to the ceiling in fright as she ask, "Ready to order? Sorry, Rainbow is busy so I will be giving out the order.”

Once Sora got out of the ceiling, he frowns angrily in his seat as Kairi gives out her order, "I will have the fish dinner."

"Grilled or boiled?" Pinkie ask Kairi with a grin.

"Grilled."

"Potato or rice?"

"Rice?" Kairi ask confused by what Pinkie just said.

"Soup or salad?" Pinkie ask with a smile, making the girls a bit annoyed, especially when the pink pony isn't writing anything in a pad.

"We both want salads." Rarity said with a groan.

"Ranch or Caesar?"

"Caesar." Kairi said with an annoyed sigh.

"Croutons or substitute bacon bits?" Pinkie ask with a helpful smile to the girls.

"Croutons of course!" Rarity snaps in annoyance, about to lose her temper...which is ironic because she and Kairi demanded their boyfriends not to do the same thing.

"Okie dokie lokie! Got it right up!"

"But Pinkie, darling, aren't you even going to write what we asked down?"

"Nope! Got it memorized!" Pinkie exclaims happily as she bounces into the kitchen. Then the mare came back with Rainbow, smiling. "But can you tell Rainbow in case I do forget?"

The boys couldn't help but chuckle; that was a bit funny. The girls however frowns in annoyance. That joke wasn't funny at all to them.

Rainbow came back, dressed as a salad chef, with a few vegetables, a bowl and knives, pushing a table with the stuff on it. The Pegaus soon exclaims, "All right, you four! Time for a salad made fresh at your table by the awesome Rainbow Dash!"

The couples watch in interest, expecting Rainbow to entertain them. Rainbow begins chopping the lettuce and tomatoes, view her wing. She ended up tossing the knife aside and right at Lord Eric who ducked in time. Rainbow then tossed in a huge watermelon by turning it into a salad shooting gun, shooting watermelon flavoring onto the salad, much to Kairi's shock and annoyance.

Suddenly, Rainbow removes a bit of Rarity's mane and put it into the salad shooter, turning it into little mane croutons. The Pegasus pony then mixed up the salad before putting part of it into Rarity's salad bowl...then she grabs Sora's baseball hat that he's wearing and put some salad right on there, serving the stuff.

Rarity looks annoyed at the salad, especially when some of her mane is now a crouton on it. The white unicorn is getting upset that her mane was ruined! Sora of course is enjoying his salad. Yeah, he should be upset that his hat was used as a salad bowl, but at least the service was good. So why be angry, right?

"So uh, how are we doing so far?" Lord Eric ask the girls hopefully.

"What?" Rarity snaps angrily, forgetting that she and Kairi are supposed to make sure that neither of the boys are losing their tempers. "Oh, oh yes, you boys are doing fine."

"Great to hear!" Sora exclaims as he continues eating his salad. Kairi sighs a bit. Hopefully dinner will be worth it.

Pinkie came back, serving the couples with their own dinners, which are covered with napkins.

"Can't wait!" Sora exclaims as he lifts his captain, only to see a fish on his plate. Kairi removes her own napkins, but got a steak instead of a fish. As for Rarity and Lord Eric, the mare got a rose dinner while Lord Eric got a daisy sandwich.

"Hey, Pinks? I think you got my dinner mixed-up. I got the steak." Sora said to Pinkie in concern.

"Right, and our flowers are mixed up too." Lord Eric said, nodding in agreement.

"Really? Sorry. Let me correct it." Pinkie said with a shrug. The boys and girls look surprised as the pink pony spins the table around, calling out like a gambler caller. "Come on, steak! Come on, daisy!"

The customers and patrons begins gathering around the table, placing their bets while cheering for the steak. The girls frown at Pinkie in annoyance...but soon the table stopped at the right time with the orders going to the right customer.

"Yay, I win!" Pinkie exclaims with a giggle. Rarity and Kairi sighs. At least that's over, now they can eat their fish and daisy sandwich.

But then Rainbow came in, spinning the table as she exclaims, "Oh yeah, let her ride! Double or nothing, come on, fish! Come on, rose!"

The table stops spinning. The fish ends up on Kairi's chest with the daisy on Rarity's mane. Sora's steak and Lord Eric's rose dinner are currently fine.

"Wow, this is delicious." Sora chuckles, taking a bite out of his meal.

"I agree." Lord Eric remarks, eating his own meal. "How are you girls enjoying your meal?"

Needless to say, Kairi and Rarity growls angrily. Now they are getting close to losing their tempers! Hoo boy.

After a few more meals that the boys ordered, with the girls not even touching their own in anger, Sora sighs, relaxing as he said, "Boy, am I full."

"Hey, humans and ponies!" Pinkie exclaims as she came back with Rainbow. Smiling, the pink pony said, "We hope you enjoyed your meal!"

"I don't like wearing mine in my mane!" Rarity snaps angrily to Pinkie.

Pinkie and Rainbow smiles as they grab the plates and silverware on the table...and then balance them with their hooves. However, Pinkie yelps as she is having trouble keeping balance while going into the kitchen.

Then things get silly as Pinkie and Rainbow each go in and out of the kitchen, trying to keep their balances on the dishes. Rainbow came out suddenly, balancing on a beach ball before going back in. When Rainbow went back in, the pink pony came out on a cheese wheel before going back in. Rainbow came out on three beach balls, Pinkie on a bicycle, Rainbow on a bicycle on beach balls...with both waitresses coming out on beach balls.

The couples cringe, preparing for the worst. But surprisingly, Pinkie and Rainbow kept their hold on the dishes. Rainbow chuckles as their friends opens their eyes, "Oh brother. You four thought we were going to drop them, right?"

The two sighs in relief. Pinkie lets go of her dishes for a brief moment to give them the check, saying, "Oh, here's your check, folks!" She then put her hooves on the top of the bottom of the plates...but causing a pea to fell right onto Kairi. "Oops, sorry! Let me get that, Kairi!"

Kairi frowns as she took out a purse and hits Pinkie with it, causing the pink pony to fall down, bumping into Rainbow and causing their own dishes to crash down all over the plate.

The Boys laughs like mad, though the girls are beginning to get mad. Sora ask, "Wow, girls, you aren't going to lose your temper, right?"

"UGH! YOU BET YOU’RE FLANKS WE ARE!" Rarity yells out furiously. "THIS SERVICE IS THE MOST TERRIBLE THAT I HAD EVER SEEN! I'VE HAD IT! WHY, WE HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH MISERABLE SERVICE EVER!"

"WHY DID WE EVEN COME HERE, WHY?!" Kairi screams out loudly and angrily. Sora and Lord Eric laughs at the irony. The girls dare them not to lose their temper once...and in the end, it was both of them who threw the temper tantrum.

"Okay, okay, we will pay the check." Sora said as he checks the check. But his eyes widen in shock as he yells, "WHAT?! NO WAY! WE CAN'T AFFORD THIS!"

Lord Eric checks the check and begins losing his temper at the same time as Sora. The male unicorn yells out, "THIS IS RIDICULOUS! WE GET GOOD FOOR AND HAVE TO PAY THIS?! WHAT KIND OF FOLKS CHARGE US FOR THIS?!"

The couples lose their tempers, jumping up and down in anger, yelling out gibberish phrases, much to the amusement of Pinkie and Rainbow who got back up.

"Well, Pinkie, Sora, Kairi, Rarity and Lord Eric do make a good couple." Rainbow remarks with a light chuckle. "They do enjoy getting mad together!'

"Yep! And since the Cartoon's over, I will let Lord Eric's promise breaking slip!" Pinkie exclaims. She blow a kiss to the audience, saying, "That's all, folks!"

THE END

A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION

Once the cartoon is over, the audience applauds once more. What a great one!

Things at the House of Pony are doing fine, thanks to Shining doing his job great, thanks to his friends tonight. The guests approved of his work now, even the staff does.

Pinkamena comments on the last short, "Sora and Kairi were made for one another Hands/hooves down. The same with the other two. Also, seems things are going well for Shining Armor."

"Having friends help." Golden Heart admits to his sister. She nods and eats a cupcake on her table left by Shining as he passed by.

A while later, at the entrance of the club, Twilight, Nyx, Rainbow and Rarity came over to Shining, Pinkie and Fluttershy. The Alicorn said with a smile, "You did great out there today, big bro."

"Yeah, Uncle Shiny! I was worried you would mess up...but you became a great waiter." Nyx giggles, nuzzling her uncle on the leg.

"To be honest, thanks, though I didn't do it alone." Shining said with a smile, motioning to Pinkie and Fluttershy. "I got help from these two here."

"Thanks, it was no trouble, Shining," Fluttershy said with a giggle.

"You three make a great team!" Rarity exclaims with Rainbow nodding in agreement.

"Well, Shining, you can say you're learning friendship on this job, right Shining?"

Yeah, guess so." Shining said with a chuckle. "I can see why my little sister has you two for friends. Pinkie is random and Fluttershy is meekish, but you helped out your friends when you can."

"Yep! Anyway, you did great today, Shining," Pinkie exclaims with a smile to Shining. "Who knows? Maybe you will have a very important job like yours truly!"

"Pinkie, I already got one, remember? I park the cars for the customers at the House of Pony."

"Awww, come on! Can't be that hard! It isn't like waiting tables! Any pony can do it, even me! Watch!"

Pinkie rushes outside, Shining and Fluttershy watch, wondering what the mare will do. They cringe however as the sound of a car screeching is heard followed by a crash. It doesn't take a Pinkie Sense to see what happened.

"Right, maybe it's for the best for Pinkie to stick to her job." Fluttershy said meekly to Shining who nods in agreement.

Twilight got back onstage to finish the show up. She spoke, "All right, Spike! You know what to do!"

"Sure do, Twilight!" Spike exclaims with a smile. He then gives out the announcement, "Table waiting service provided by...Fluttershy's Animals!"

We see a still-shot screen of a rabbit holding a plate for a customer. The words 'Fluttershy's Animal Waiters' are on the screen.

"Yes, sir! It's one Pet of a Day when they come take your order!"

A squirrel in a second still shot stares at Wild Maniac who is sleeping.

"Trust me, everyone, you will want to stay wide awake..."

The next still shot now has Wild Maniac, awake, looking at a delicious meal with the squirrel smiling in satisfaction.

"...for their nutty service!"

The next still show now has Tree Hugger checking out a menu while a flamingo waits patiently for her to decide.

"In all the jobs that they do, they always have a lot of fun!"

Tree Hugger, grinning, gives some nuts over to the flamingo who is now using a baseball cap to get them.

"And best of all, they work for just nuts a day!"

And now, the next still shows a bear giving a nice big good luck cake to Trouble Shoes who smiles a bit.

"Good luck will be shown when they weigh tables for you!"

The first still shows up once more as this announcement comes to an end.

"Fluttershy's Animals! They're Fluttershy-ingly terrific!" We see Tank now sleeping with Spike adding in a low voice, "Warning: some animals may hibernate during winter."
