Chapter 1: Planning

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

  Twilight Sparkle had just arrived at the small town of Ponyville, and she was disappointed. She thought she was going to a big city, with a magnificent library to continue her studies, but a small town on the outskirts of the Everfree forest? Twilight couldn't be more disappointed. Maybe living in Canterlot all her life may have taken a toll on her 'vacation'.

  Spike was also disappointed. "Does this place have a good laboratory?" Spike was the result of a science experiment, to make a human/dragon person. He wasn't a mistake, he was the guessed outcome of this experiment. She won first prize in the Canterlot High Science Fair. He, of course, had to have his own room, so Twilight made him a room at her house. His room doubled the house.

  Twilight looked at her companion. "Probably not, Spike. I might have to break my promise to make you a friend like yourself."

  "Oh," Spike looked at his feet. "Maybe when we get back to Canterlot?"

  "Maybe," Twilight said sadly. She looked at Spike. "But I hope Ponyville is a good place to set up our celebration." In fact, it was. Just not as big as they were hoping.

  "Lets get going, Twilight."

  "Alright. Let's-"

  "HIYA! Are you Twilight? Is this Spike? Of course it's you, Celestia said you would be the only on the train, so I can't be wrong, can I?" A girl wearing excessive amounts of pink said, while jumped in their way.

  "Uhm..." Twilight stopped. "No?... You aren't wrong."

  "Hooray! Celestia was right! I know she set it up, but if she wasn't the princess and got it right, she could be a gypsy or something. Oh, that reminds me! Once I was a gypsy for a party, and... OH YEAH!" This sudden volume change made Twilight and Spike jump. "I LOOOOOVE parties! I get to help you set up the big party for  tomorrow! I throw the best parties in Ponyville! Oh, and my name is Pinkie Pie, if you didn't know. Are you going to go sightsee? There's a lot to se-

  "Hi Pinkie Pie. Not to be rude, but we must continue on, we can't talk forever." Twilight tried to walk away, but Pinkie followed them.

  "I know we can't talk forever, so thats why I like talking fast, so I can say everything I want, without taking forever. How long is forever? Forever is too far away to count to, just like one hundred. Are you going to Applejack's farm? You just passed it."

  "Well then stop talking randomly and tell me the directions," Twilight said while turning around. "And maybe open your eyes."

  "Oops, forgot about those," Pinkie said while opening her eyes. Twilight rolled her eyes. "Have you met Applejack? I made this theory that her name could be Jacqueline and Apple could be her last name, and it is, so my theory has a chance, but maybe she didn't like her name, so she shortened her name to Jack for a nickname and for her first job application she had to put her last name then her first name, so it said 'Apple, Jack' and the employer read it as Applejack, and thats my theory of how she got her name."

  "Hmm, that could be true," Spike said. "Why haven't you ask her?"

    "Because I just made it up," Pinkie said.

  "That's a good theory for two seconds of planning, how did you do it?" Spike asked.

  "Uhmmm... Hey there's Applejack!" Pinkie bounced over to her.

  "Howdy, Pinkie. And this must be Twilight and Spike." Applejack said.

  "Yep! Me and Twi are like besties now!"

  "You are?" Applejack looked at Twilight.

  "We are?... I mean no, we aren't." Twilight looked at Pinkie.

  "Oh, my bad!" Pinkie smiled and started hopping again.

  Twilight sighed. "So, Applejack, how is the food coming along?"

  "Just dandy!" Applejack replied. "We have plenty of apple fritters, apple pies, apple cakes, caramel apples, apple ice cream, normal apples, apple burrito, apple-"

"Apples, okay. And that's it?"

  "And a few hundred steaks..."

  "A few hundred?! Twilight, a huge buffet! We should go!" Spike told Twilight.

  "That's what I'm planning, Spike. We're kind of going to matter what."

  "Oh, yay!" Spike did a small dance.

  "So... are you going to be finished for tomorrow, Applejack?" Twilight asked her.

  "Well, yeah, but if it's alright with y'all, I got to get back to work preparing the food, or gettin' more apples."

  "Okay, just get the food there to the place before-"

  "Y'all don't worry, I'll be on time, I pride mahself on being on time." Applejack started walking away. "Enjoy your stay in here Ponyville, Twilight."

  "Yeah, we should enjoy it, Twilight. It's not every day that we go on a vacation to a different town." Spike agreed.

  "Shut up, you've said that already."

  "That's not nice, Twilight, you should- A BUTTERFLY!" Pinkie shouted. She chased the butterfly to a girl nearby, who was conducting a symphony of birds. "Twilight, I found Fluttershy!"

  "Aah!" Fluttershy jumped and hid behind a bush. She peeked over. "Oh, hi, Pinkie."

  Twilight walked over to where Pinkie was standing. She looked around. "Where?"

  "Uhm, hi, I'm down here..." Fluttershy said, still behind her bush.

  "Oh, sorry. Hi, my name's Twilight, and you are..."

  "My name is Flu..."

  "What was that? I couldn't hear you." Twilight smiled.

  "Didn't you hear me, Twilight? Her name is Fluttershy, duh!" Pinkie sighed.

  "I know, Pinkie." Twilight rolled her eyes. "I'm trying to be polite."

  "Just making sure I was heard."

"OHMYGOSHISTHATADRAGONHUMAN?!" Fluttershy squealed, surprising all Twilight, Spike and Pinkie. She jumped out of behind of her bush and went to see Spike.

  "Uh, yeah, I'm a dragon human creature... Why?"

  "I love this combination of beings because it looks so cool!"

  "Do you... find them often?..." Asked Twilight.

  "...no... But this one is so cute! What's your name?"

  "My name's Spike."

  "Oh hi, Spike, my name is Fluttershy."

  "Hi, my name is Twilight. How is the music coming along, Fluttershy?"

  "Oh, uhm... good, but I don't know why you had to ask..."

  "Okay, Fluttershy, you should leave us alone, we have some stuff to get done, so if you don't mind..."

  "Yeah... I'll leave you to... yeah..." Fluttershy walked back to the tree to continue conducting the birds to make music.

  "Don't make her feel bad, she's my friend, you know!" Pinkie told Twilight.

  "I know, but I don't need anyone else trailing behind me, because I have a lot to get done. We have to do planning!" Twilight said while beginning to walk.

  "Let's start planning at my house, it's closer than the library." Pinkie said.

"Where is-"

  "THERE IT IS!" Pinkie hopped and pointed to the Sugarcube Corner Bakery.

  "You live at a bakery?" Spike asked. "That is so cool!"

  "I try my best," Pinkie said. "Let's go get some planning done!"
