An Unexpected Arrival

Chapter 4

The Loss of Your Friends

"What's going o--"

Spike noticed that his friends were gone. "Where is everybody?"

"They left..." Eric said, sadly.

"Why?"

Eric told Spike what had happened about the Mane Six.

"That's terrible! We have to find them!"

"Let's go and find them." Eric said to Spike.

Eric and Spike walked outside and searched.

"Twilight! Rainbow Dash!"

"Rarity! Fluttershy! We'll never find them! They could be anywhere." Spike said.

"Pinkie! Come back! I know." Eric said.

A few people opened their windows and saw the talking dragon with Eric.

"I must be dreaming" One person thought.

"Where are they?" Spike said.

Suddenly, they saw a pink pony.

"Pinkie! There you are!" Eric called to Pinkie.

She turned her head, then hopped off.

"Wait! Pinkie!" Spike said.

They started running over to Pinkie, but she was too fast for them!

"Stop! pant Wait! pant." Eric was sweating.

Pinkie stopped, then turned around.

"Eric? Spike?"

"Pinkie!"

"Girls, look!. Eric and Spike are here!"

The girls galloped to Eric and Spike.

"Why do you want us?" Rainbow Dash said to Eric.

"I'm sorry about what happened."

"Well, I'll accept your apology. But, don't do anything like this ever again!"

The ponies, Eric, and Spike laughed, even Rainbow Dash.

They all laughed all the way home.

Two months later....

"Hey, Eric!" Jack was better. "Jack! You're all better!"

"I know!"

Jack ran over to Eric, and hugged him.

"It's been so long!" Jack said, excitingly.

"It was only two months." Eric corrected Jack.

"I know."

"Anyways, my dad said I can't be with you for another month." Jack said.

"Why?"

"Because one of his friends saw a talking dragon with you."

"How did someone see Spike?"

"Jack! Time for dinner!" Jack's dad called.

"Sorry. Gotta go! See ya later alligator!"

"I'm glad I've got a funny friend!"

Eric went back inside his house. It was two months since the accident.

Spike was whistling on one of his spinning chairs.

"Hey little buddy." Eric said to spike.

"Hi. Twilight's calling for Pizza." Spike told Eric.

"What? They can't call anybody! They'll be exposed!"

Eric ran into the kitchen to see Twilight talking on the phone.

The phone was down so she could call.

"Hi, We want some pizza please." Twilight said into the speaker.

"OK, which kind of pizza do you want?" The man on the phone said.

"Regular."

"OK, what is your name?"

"Twilight Sparkle."

"Um, OK?"

"What kind of person is named, 'Twilight Sparkle'?" The man thought.

"Anyways, thanks for your call at Domino's Pizza."

Twilight hung up, then looked at Eric.

"What's wrong?"

"You can't call anybody! You'll be exposed!"

"Sorry. But we were hungry, so I called the pizza place."

A few minutes later....

Eric heard a knock at the door.

"I'll get it. Stay out of sight." He told them.

He opened the door to see a Pizza delivery guy.

"Are you Twilight Sparkle?" The man said.

"Um, no. That was a friend of mine."

"OK, here you go."

He handed the pizza to Eric, then left.

"Mmmm! I smell pizza!" Pinkie Pie said, flying towards the pizza box.

"Not so fast! I'm gonna get the pizza first!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Hold on. We're gonna share, Rainbow Dash." Eric said to Rainbow Dash.

"Fine, OK."

Eric went to the kitchen table and put the pizza box down.

He sliced the pizza's up for the six of them, and put one on his table.

Eric left the leftovers in the box, then put the box in the refrigerator.

"Eat up, everypony!"

The ponies started gobbling their pizza's up. After dinner, they sat down in the living room.

"Burp! Whew! That was some mighty fare pizza!" Applejack said, liking the pizza.

"I'm glad you like it." Eric said.

"I gotta say, that was pretty good pizza." Rainbow Dash said.

"Eric, that was..Um, good pizza." Fluttershy told Eric.

"Thank's for taking care of us, Eric." Spike said.

"You're welcome."

Eric felt tired, so he went upstairs and went to sleep.

The ponies, including Spike, stayed up late for awhile.

They played some game's like Monopoly, Sorry!, Operation, and Candy Land.

Though Pinkie thought that Candy Land was made of real candy, Twilight stopped her before she ate one of the pieces.

"Well, let's get some rest girl's." Twilight said, as they went to bed.

The next day....

Eric woke up, and yawned.

"Another beautiful day!" He said.

He went downstairs, like usual.

He noticed that the ponies, except Spike, were asleep.

"Good morning, Eric." Spike said.

"Good morning to you, Spike."

Eric got ready, he took a shower, put on some clothes, and made his lunch.

Later, the ponies were up.

"I'm excited! Aren't you, Eric?" Pinkie Pie said to Eric.

"Yes, today's Friday! Though I have T-CAP practice today as well." Eric replied.

Though he had T-CAP test practice today, he was excited to sit back, and relax.

"What's T-CAP?" Rainbow Dash questioned.

"It's a test that we take for our grade's. Right now we're doing practice for it." He told her.

"OK."

The bus arrived, and Eric set off to school.

"Have a good day, Eric!" Pinkie Pie said.

"OK!" He replied.

The door closed. "OK, girl's. Let's have a Wait-For-Eric-To-Get-Home Party!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Um, okay." Rainbow Dash said, a little confused.

No-one had a W-F-E-T-G-H party, but they liked the idea.

They played games, watched movies, and had fun. Since Pinkie Pie was a great party planner.

When Eric came home, he was greeted to, "Surprise!"

He was surprised! There was balloons, streamers, and candy everywhere!

"Welcome home, Eric!" Everypony cheered.

He smiled. His friends loved him, and he loved them, too.
