The Best Night Ed-er

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who-

*pito* hehe

Uh..who ruled together, and created harmony for all the land. To do this the el-

*smack* ppfffffhehe

the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus the two sisters-

*Crash* hahahha!

Ugh…the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies. But as time went on-

*Mash* Haha that one got in your nose!

As time when on...the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through her beautiful night. One fateful day, the yo-

*Ka-bam* Missed me that time!

….The younger unicorn refused to-

I can’t throw it with your stupid head in the way.

To lower the moon to make way for-

Oh, forget it...What else is in here...Ah. She vowed that she would-

“WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A red unicorn with a black ski cap put the book down that he was reading and faced his two friends, one of them being a small yellow pegasus, and another being a big green earth pony.

The yellow one was the first to speak. “Nothin’ What?” He then pushed a cart full of pastries down the hall of the train, causing it to crash into a stack of luggage, he then put his hooves behind his back and looked around innocently.

“BINGO” The green pony yelled with two donuts covering his eyes.

The yellow pegasus laughed nervously. “Hehe...Bingo...Yeah, good one.”

The red unicorn continued glaring at them. “Can't you see I’m trying to read!”

The yellow pegasus rolled his eyes. “Eh..read shmead. Reading gets ya no where in life sock head.”

“Yeah Double D.” The green pony said, taking a bite out a donut that had been in his eye “Rhmdn ish fur mhphhs hm mhhhmhpp.”

“What?” Double D said. He looked at the pegasus “Do you know what he said Eddy?”

Eddy just glanced at the green pony. “Ed probably said something about how readings for losers.” He grinned at his own little joke.

“Nope” Ed said after swallowing his pastry. “I said TVs are way better.” He stuck his green tongue out and stretched it to grab the other donut in his eye, then he slurped it into his mouth. “Oh...Uh Comhmic Buhms.”

Double D took a deep breath. “Look, you may think books are ‘stupid’, but they provide knowledge that may not be found anywhere else. Why, I had to ask for special permission to have this book, it is a very valuable piece of literature.” He held up the front cover for them to see.

Ed scratched his head. “Equinstria, A re-frence guild for pones?” He said.

Double D put the book down, “Actually Ed, it says ‘Equestria: A reference guide for ponies’, it's a reference guide for the land, I was able to find it at the library, it talks about all the history of this place.”

“Why would you want to know the history of this place?” Eddy asked, laying his back on his bed. “Its not like we're staying here forever, its just a few days.”

Double D opened the book and laid it on his own bed. “Well Eddy, I would very much like to know about a world that we have never seen before we go in it, and admittedly it was the only book I could find about this ‘land of Equestria’, it was as if this place prefered to be branched off from the rest of the world.”

“I wouldn’t blame it,” Eddy shrugged “the Colt-de-sac ain’t the best place to live.”

“I’m talking about the entire world Eddy, the book even said that the sun and the moon are controlled by two alicorn sisters.”

“How can two alicorns do that?” Eddy gave Double D a stern look, thinking that his friend was telling lies.

“Well Eddy, alicorns are very powerful ponies, I mean, have you ever seen any. They look extraordinarily powerful to.” Eddy shook his head.

Ed raised his hoof in the air. “Oh! Oh! I have.” He reached behind his back and pulled out an issue of ‘Attack of the cheese locust’ “I saw them in this comic book, it started on page twelve, when our hero, Twi-Spark, had just found out about the evil mastermind Swisalis, how she was disguised as the lovely Candescence the entire time she was with her, and that she was to be married to a plate of armour. One of Twi-Sparks most beloved objects”

“Um Ed?” Double D was about to say more but Ed continued.

“So Swis dropped the disguise and showed her evil, dark, cheesy self on page twenty, when Twi-Spark found the real Candescence in the smooze cave, and brought her to the wedding just before they said ‘I do’, and that is when the alicorn Solarestia striked down on the evil swis queen, but the queen was far too strong, as the pate of armour had already given her enough cheese to become even more powerful than her, making Solarestia fall and forcing her to tell Twi-Spark to get the helements from the armoury in order to defeat the cheese queen and her army.” Ed then closed his comic book and tucked it away behind his back. “And thats when I first heard about alicorns.” He ended with a smile.

Eddy and Double D just stared at Ed in confusion. “Uh.” Double D started. “That was a very…uh….nice read Ed.”

Ed still smiled, and Eddy slumped on his bed. “How boring can a story get.”

Double D scowled at Eddy. “Eddy, I’ll admit the story was a bit...bland...but perhaps the ponies behind it-”

“Which were Meghan Mccarthy who wrote the dialogue and Sarah Wall who did the artwork.” Ed said with a smile still shown on his face.

“Er..Yes, them.” Double D couldn’t understand how Ed could remember something like that, he usually can’t even remember the days of the week. “Anyway, they must of taken the idea of it from a previous event that had happened, most stories now and days are based of off that sort of thing, they might even take it from other stories, some so similar that they could have the same plot and everything, yet the public doesn’t seem to notice, or they probably do and are just too bored to read anything else.”

Eddy looked at him questionably. “How does that even work?” He flew up to Double D. “Were not even in that season yet, so how can they know about that story.”

Double D shrugged and buried his face in his book again. “I’m sure its merely coincidence.”

Eddy just rolled his eyes and sat back down on top of where Ed’s bed was. “Can ya wake me up when we get there, I’m tired of sleeping on these things.”

Double D went back to reading his book. “You must be patient Eddy, we still have one more town to stop at until we reach Canterlot.”

“Where we will be meeting all the suckers at the gala.” Ed said, Ed then popped his head out of Eddy’s bed, causing Eddy to flail around and land on the floor. “Right Eddy.”

“Oh, I’ll give ya a sucker to meet.” He landed on Ed’s head, pushing it back to his own bed.

Double D just rolled his eyes and continued reading, though his eyes started to drift to the window, looking out at the vast land a night. A land that he had never even knew existed, a land that-

“Hey Double D. You remembered the tickets, right?”

Double D got out of his trance and looked at Eddy. “Tickets, I thought you had them in your possession?”

“No. I gave them to you, remember.” Eddy tapped the top of his head.

“Eddy, you insisted that once Ed won that gravy drinking contest that you would hold on to them and not let Ed-”

“Found them.” Ed yelled.

Double D and Eddy looked at Ed to see that he had indeed found them, all three of the tickets were in his mouth.

“ED!” Eddy yelled, grabbing him by the throat. “Let go of those tickets! There our only chance at getting more cash then you can ever think of, which isn’t saying a lot.”

“But I won them Eddy.” Ed said. He then slipped out of Eddy’s grip ran around the train cart with the tickets still in his mouth. Eddy’s face turned red and he ran after the green pony.

“Give me the tickets Ed!” Eddy yelled.

“There mine Eddy, I won them!” Ed yelled back.

“You won them only because I signed you up for the contest.”

Double D raised his eyebrow. “You mean I signed him up while you rubbed your hooves mischievously thinking about the prizes that you will win.”

“Same thing!” Eddy yelled, tackling Ed to the ground. “Ah ha! Got ya. Now hoof over the-”

“My tickets!” Ed used his back legs and pushed Eddy into the air, he then landed on the roof of the cart and landed on the ground behind Ed, Ed then ran over to Double D and hid behind him. “Tell him the tickets are mine Double D!”

“There mine Ed!” Eddy yelled, getting back on all fours.

“Actually Eddy.” Double D magically grabbed the tickets from Ed’s mouth and stuffed them into his hat. “Ed did win the tickets, I’ll admit it was a bit unfair for the other contestants with Ed’s….uh...habits.” Double D patted Eds head. “But he did win it fair and square, one way or another.”

Eddy rolled his eyes again and flew back to his top bunk bed. He didn’t want to say another word until he got to that Galla.

“Eddys mad Double D.” Ed said bluntly.

“Yes, I know Ed. You might as well go and rest Ed. We will surely reach our destination when we wake up.” Ed smiled and went back to bed, pulling the covers over him and turning away from Double D. Double D then gave a sigh of relief. “Thank Danny, now maybe” He yawned. “I can start reading this...this…” He then dozed off and laid his head on the book.
