Ty Runs Some Errands

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

        Ty trotted happily through town nomming on a cookie. "Hi! Flower?" said a pale pony with a red and pink mane. She handed Ty a rose, which he took with a levitation spell. "Thanks," Ty said, and kept going. A few Pegasi flew around clearing clouds, and Unicorns and Earth ponies milled about on the ground. Ty had never felt so happy before. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and stared up in awe. A building that looked like a gingerbread house loomed above him. It even had fluffy white frosting and huge candies decorating it. It made Ty's mouth water, but he figured they were all fake...if they were REAL, though, he wouldn't exactly be surprised.

        "All righty, Mr. and Mrs. Cake! I'll take good care of them!" Ty heard voices coming from inside the building. A few seconds later, two ponies came out. One was blue with a poofy pink mane that looked like frosting. The other was yellow with an orange mane, and looked like he was a stallion. He bumped into Ty on his way out. Ty backed up a couple hoofsteps, watching the two ponies with wide eyes. "Oop, sorry there fella," the stallion said, looking back over his shoulder at Ty. "Honey, the client...!" said the mare. The stallion looked back at her. "Coming, dear!" he shouted. Then, turning back to look at Ty, he said somewhat guiltily, "I apologize; we're running late for a catering job. Pinkie Pie is inside watching our foals but she'll be happy to help you out with anything. See you around!" He ran to catch up with the mare.

          Ty watched them go, then looked back at the building. "Well, anything's better than fighting a Creeper," he mumbled to himself, and stepped inside.

           He was instantly smacked square in the muzzle with the scents of sugar cookies, frosting, and the super-fake fruit smells of lollipops. His mouth started watering again; he had a favorite place already. "Hellooooooo," said a familiar voice. Ty looked around and saw Pinkie Pie standing by swingin doors that looked like the doors from old Western taverns. She had a baby-carrier thing around her back, and had two little foals in them. One was pale, like Mitch, and had a brown mane with brown eyes. He was a Pegasus. The other was yellow like Sky, with an orange mane and blue eyes. She was a Unicorn. "Oh, hi, Pinkie Pie," Ty said, looking around.

            "Welcome to Sugarcube Corner," Pinkie continued. "And since we're bestest best friends, you can call me Pinkie. Or Pie. Ooh, pie! Do you want some pie, I want some pie!" Ty blinked, then shook his head to clear it. "Oh, um...I'm good. I was just looking around," he said. "Oh. Well, that's okay. I was just going to shop for supplies, but I have to look after the foals...say, how would you like to help me out?" Pinkie said suddenly. "I'm not so sure how I'd be able to handle two little squids--I mean, foals," Ty said. Pinkie psh-awed him, and said, "No, silly billy. I was going to have you get the supplies, not look after two little 'squids--I mean, foals'."

           "Ohhhh, well, okay then. I can do that!" Ty said. "Thankie bankies! Here's the list," Pinkie said, flashing a grin. She vanished behind the counter, and Ty trotted up to the glass case. Cookies, cupcakes, candies...everything looked delicious. Pinkie reappeared a moment later clutching a scroll in her teeth. She put it on the counter and unrolled it. It stretched out the door into the street. "Here you go. Have fun, King Deadlox!" she said. Ty grimaced, using his magic to roll up the scroll once more. "I'll be back...sometime..." he said on his way out. So he set off.

"Okay, so first on my list is...asparagus? What does a bakery need asparagus for?" Ty said to himself as he walked through town. There was a little wooden stand set up, so he walked to that. It had a big picture of a bunch of asparagus on the top. "Good day, sir," said the vendor, a mare that looked to be English. She wore a beret and a striped shirt, and her tattoo thingy was a coin of sorts. She had a hot pink bob manestyle and blue eyes. "Uh. Yeah. Hi. I need five bunches of asparagus," Ty said. "Certainly, sir," said the mare, and she disappeared behind the counter, reappearing a second later with a box of asparagus. Ty took it with a simple levitation spell and turned to leave.

"Wait, sir!" called the mare. "You forgot to pay."

Ty squeezed his eyes shut, frozen half-step. Then he opened them and turned around. "Right. Money," he said. "How much, exactly?" "Four bits," the mare said pleasantly. I'm broke. Noooo...Ty thought to himself. "I've got it," said a voice. Twilight was walking up to the vendor with a few coins. "Thank you," said the vendor, and took the coins.

"Thanks, Twilight. I owe you one," Ty said as he walked away. Twilight walked with him. "No problem, Deadlox. It was my pleasure," she said. "I'm broke," Ty commented. Twilight raised an eyebrow. "You're broke? Why?" she asked. "Really, Twilight? I don't live here, so I don't have a job, so I don't have any bucking money," Ty said. Then he crossed his eyes. "Why did I just say 'bucking'?" he asked, confused. Twilight laughed. "You swore," she said. "What? No I didn't, I was trying to say 'bucking.' OH MY GOD WHY DO I KEEP SAYING THAT?!" Ty said. Twilight was laughing very hard. "You're weird," she said. "I know," Ty said proudly.

Suddenly, Ty saw a yellow streak zip across the sky...no, wait, it was headed for him. "HOLY SH--" he started to say, but then it crashed into him. "SKY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Ty screamed. Sky grinned. "Found you," he said. Ty shoved him off and stood up. Ponies were staring at the two friends, giving them weird looks. "PONIES OF EQUESTRIA," Sky said. "I HAVE SAVED YOU ALL FROM THE HORRORS OF..."--he lifted up Ty's left hind hoof, making Ty fall. "...TY'S LEFT FOOT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm adopted."

"DON'T DO DIS," Ty said, and tried to hit Sky. He couldn't reach him, though, because Sky was holding up his hoof. Then he remembered he was a pony now, and couldn't ponies kick, like, really hard?

A few seconds later, Ty was running away from Sky. "YOU SON OF A SQUID!" Sky screamed. "I'M GOING TO GET YOU, AND WHEN I DO, YOU WILL BE SORRY YOU WERE EVER BORN!" "I'M ALREADY SORRY!" Ty yelled at him. "I'M SORRY YOU'RE SO UGLY!" Twilight rolled her eyes as Sky tackled Ty, calling him a squid. "Stallions..." she said to herself, and picked up the list and box of asparagus to finish the errands. "Never get anything done..."
