The Child of the Night
The New Crusader
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"And we welcome you as a member of the cutie mark crusaders!" Excited squeals rang through the clubhouse, as a filly felt confetti raining from over her head. A cloak fell over her back as three other fillies crowded around her. "Welcome to the club Cherrycloud!" Sweetie Belle squeaked excitedly! Cherry was still a bit confused at the overly long synonym list for friend, but she was also happy. She was finally a cutie mark crusader!
"Lets celebrate!" Scootaloo cheered! At the same moment a pink flash came from the window.
"Did somepony say party!?" The pink earth pony shouted, raising her hooves in the air.
"Uhh, I actually said celebrate." Scootaloo said, cocking her head at the party pony.
"Party? Celebrate? Whatever! They're close enough!" Pinkie grinned, "And I love parties!" She reached behind her flank, and pulled out a cannon. It was a shiny blue, with pink wheels with a flowery design. Cherry narrowed her eyes at the strange device, before she heard a loud blast. A flash of light boomed out of the cannon, blinding Cherrycloud for a moment. When she was done rubbing her eyes to clear the light, she found herself in a different room. Colorful balloons floated about, and streamers littered the floor. Cherry looked to her side to see pinkie pie bouncing toward her with a cupcake in her hoof.
"B-But-" Her confused yelps were shut off when a cupcake was inserted into her mouth. "Fchimpy!?" Cherrycloud complained, causing cumcake crumbs to fall among the streamers. Pinkie gave her a poke in the cheek.
"Don't speak with your mouth full!" She scolded, "Or else you'll choke and be a total party pooper!" Pinkie huffed and crossed her arms, "and nopony likes a party pooper." Cherrycloud was at a loss for words. She had only met this pony about a week ago when she and her dad moved to ponyville. So far she was confused about the pony, and at some times, a bit scared at the thought of her throwing a surprise party for her. She hated surprises, and had nearly passed out at her welcome to ponyville surprise party.
Soon, she managed to force the cupcake down her throat. "How did we get here Pinkie?" I asked, finally realizing that the other crusaders were here next to me.
Pinkie shrugged, "I have no idea what you're talking about." I felt a hoof on my shoulder and turned to see applebloom.
"Jus' don't question it." She whispered, then leaned back once seeing my nod. I turned back to pinkie.
"So... Is this a party now?" I asked.
"Not yet!" Pinkie said with a grin. "Just wait until 3.. 2.. 1"
BOOM
Confetti surged in front of Cherryclouds face, while a yellow mushy substance fell down upon her. Cherry stared in horror at the way it all piled up on her coat.
"Oops!" Squealed pinkie pie, "Looks like I put the confetti in the oven and the cake in the confetti launcher, again!" Cherrycloud could feel herself getting angry, but felt the flame being tamped out by a feeling.
joy
She could feel a laugh bubbling up inside her. She soon had no other choice then to let it out. She fell to the floor, and rolled around laughing. She soon heard the others joining her. Cherry sat up. She wiped a happy tear from her cheek, and observed the mess. Somehow, she found the door behind the cake batter. Maybe only because it was opening. A lavender alicorn burst in.
"Pinkie pie! Come quick! Emergency in Canterlot, we need all the elements!" A few seconds later the fillies were left alone, each with a confused gaze. Finally scootaloo broke the silence.
"Hey! I bet I can eat more cake batter than you, Applebloom!"
