Gods of death, darkness and picking up chicks

Mane event of the party

Jaden was standing outside a giant house, that was made out of a tree.

He wasn't sure of what he just heard, it was a familiar voice but he couldn't put his hoof on who it was.

He decided to continue his scouting of Ponyville.

Whatever was going on in there, he had probably nothing to do with it.

He passed by a couple of houses, before he heard a voice screaming from behind:

"Watch out!!!"

Jaden looked back and saw that a foal on a scooter, with a cart being dragged of the scooter, heading towards him in full speed.

He jumped away from it, but he was unlucky and jumped right into a bush of roses.

"Aouch" he screamed in pain" This ain't my day"

The foals had stopped, went up to him and helped him out of the bushes.

"We're terribly sorry for this" a white unicorn, with bright shapes of purple and pink in her mane.

" Yeah, but noone ever walks this streets" a orange pegasus, with a purple mane." So we didn't expect to meet anypony here"

"It's alright" Jaden said while massaging his back" I'm new around here so I wouldn't know"

"Ya' new around here?" A yellow pony, with a red mane and a red ribbon on it, asked" If ya' want, we can show ya' around as repay for almost running ya' over"

"That's nice of you girls and I don't see a reason to not accept this offer" Jaden said "My name is Jaden, what are yours?"

"Ah'm Appelbloom" the foal with the ribbon said.

"I'm Scootaloo" The pegasus foal said.

"I'm Sweetiebell" the little unicorn said" But you can call us: 'The cutiemark crusaders'".

" Alright crusaders" Jaden chuckled." Lead the way" .

The cutiemark crusaders took Jaden on a trip around Ponyville and showed him the record store, the school and lots of other places .

After a while, the crowd of ponies stood outside a giant bakery.

"This is' Sugarcube corner'" Scootaloo said, while dramatically gesturing a hoof over the building" Best place for buying sweets and cakes"

" Seems nice, how about I treat you for some cakes as a thanks for showing me around" Jaden suggested.

"Sure" the crusaders said and they all entered Sugarcube corner.

The store was just as colorful as the whole village.

Delicious sweets were all over the place and Jaden couldn't belive his eyes when he looked around in the room.

" Damn, hope they have a dentist in this town"he said to himself" Otherwise, my teeths are screwed"

" Hello young fillies" a blue mare, small and a little chubby, said" What brings you here?"

" We're showing this new pony, called Jaden, around town Mrs. Cake" Sweetiebell said while pointing at Jaden.

" Yeah and as a thanks, I decided to treat them for something good" Jaden said.

"Very well, then what would you like today?" Mrs. Cake asked.

" A chocolate cake" Jaden said." Take whatever you want girls, its on my tip"

"Ah'll take some strawberry muffins" Applebloom said.

"I want the raspberry ice-cream" Scootaloo said.

" I take the cupcakes" Sweetiebell said.

"Okay then, Pinkie pie!" Mrs. Cake turned around and shouted right into the kitchen" We have an order with a chocolate cake, strawberry muffins, raspberry ice-cream and a cupcake"

" Coming right up" a cheerful voice said as a pink pony, with pink hair that was as curvy as if it had went through a cottoncandy machine, bounced in with the sweets.

" Oh, hi crusaders and GYAAOOOO!" The pink pony gasped and a few seconds later dashed away ,in incredible speed, out of the door.

Jaden stared, confused, after the mare meanwhile the crusaders were exchanging looks and knew what it was all about.

"What was that all about?" Jaden asked concered"Did I do something?"

" No, my dear, that's just Pinkie pie being herself" Mrs. Cake said" That's 14 bits for everything"

Jaden tossed up some bits from his pocket and used his magic to levitate the sweets to the closest table.

"My god that was delicious" Jaden said as he and the crusaders exited Sugarcube corner

" Only the best place in Equestria" Scootaloo said.

" Ah better go home, I've been away for a long time." Applebloom said" Mah' sister's probably worried"

"I'll follow you home,  I live just a bit away from that farm." Jaden said.

" Alright, see ya' later Scootaloo and Sweetiebell" Applebloom said to her friends as her and Jaden started to walk towards Sweet apple acres.

"Goodbye Applebloom and Jaden" Sweetiebell and Scootaloo said as they all went off in different directions.

After a while, Jaden asked Applebloom:

"Why do you call yourselves, ' the cutiemark crusaders'"

"We try to find out, what our cutiemarks are by trying out different things at all time we have, but without success."

"Well, keep on trying and you'll probably get it sooner or later" Jaden said"Just don't give up"

Applebloom stared upon the alicorn, then she smiled and said:

"Thanks"

Jaden looked down on the little foal who was walking straight by his side, his mind was on how much passion that little fillie had in herself. He was amazed by these ponies, they all were following their passion no matter what.

"They are more like me than I thought" he thought to himself.

"There ya' are Applebloom. where have ya' been?"A familiar voice shouted from behind.

Jaden turned around and saw a orange mare, with a blonde mane and a cowboy hat, staring back to him.

Jaden tried to break the awkward moment by giving her a smile, by then she just started to blush again.

Applebloom was the one to break the silence.

" I was just showing this new stallion, town" Applebloom said and introduced her sister to the alicorn. " Jaden, this is mah' sister Applejack"

"So that's your name?" Jaden asked the orange mare.

"Um... Yeah it is" she answered and then Jaden realized what it was all about.

"I understand, you wasn't expecting to see me at all after that little prank." He said and put a hoof on her shoulder" I'm sorry that I made you humiliated, let's just start over again"

Applejack looked into the black stallions blue eyes, there was something that gave her a good feeling about this stallion, maybe a little more than a good feeling.

"Ain't nothin' to worry 'bout sugarcube" Applejack said in a normal tone" And ah' have got to say that it was a good prank, ya' got me and mah' friends good there"

"So we're cool?" Jaden asked meanwhile he let go of her.

"We're good" Applejack said, not to pleased that he let go so early but tried to not show it"Thanks for walking mah' little sis' home"

" Nothing to worry about"Jaden said as he turned around" I've got to go but I'll see you later"

As Jaden walked back towards the town, the two Apples were going towards their home.

"Ah' liked him" Applebloom said and turned her face to her sister" How 'bout you sis?"

" He was quite alright" Applejack said.

" What was it about with a prank?" Applebloom asked.

" That stallion, single handly took down a giant dragon but fainted for a long time" Applejack explained" Everyone thought he died, but when me and mah' friends stood by his hospital bed and said some embarrassing stuff, he just woke up and grinned everypony right in the face"

Applebloom saw that it was more to it, but decided to wait until after dinner.

Jaden was walking towards Sugarcube corner once again, glad that his new friend Applejack had forgiven him, but still wondering about what that pink mare was up to.

He had got himself a job at a club as a soundchecker for a famous DJ pony, called DJ pon3, the time she was there.

He was happy that he could fit in so easily, but when he had entered his new house, which was just outside town, he had found a note that said:

Go to Sugarcube corner

Pinkie Pie

He wasn't sure what to think, but he walked the empty streets of Ponyville.

After walking the streets for a long time, he reached Sugarcube Corner within only two minutes.

"Alright, let's see what that Pinkie Pie wants" Jaden said as he walked up the stairs and opened the door.

It was dark everywhere and nopony was in sight.

Jaden stepped in and tried to look after that pink pony.

Suddenly, the light was turned on and everypony in the room screamed:

"Suprise"

Jaden jumped in suprise and suddenly, the pink pony was standing right in front of him.

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie and I throwed this party just for you, were you suprised, were you, were you, were you?" Pinkie pie asked multiple times.

"I sure was" Jaden chuckled meanwhile he recovered from the shock" You got me good there"

" Well it sure would take lots of effort to fix this up now that a hero is the special guest" Pinkie Pie said, very energetically" So I remember you just flew up to the dragon and then everything sparked in black, the the dragon flew away and you fell towards the ground before Rainbow Dash performed the sonic rainboom and caught you just before the...."

Jaden put a hoof to her mouth.

"Look I know what happened but thanks for the party" Jaden said and gave Pinkie a quick hug" I appreciate it"

He went of to the crowd and left the party animal, for the first time ever, standing quiet.

In a chock of what just happened, Pinkie said to herself:

" I...I've never been hugged by a stallion before".

The party had everything, great music, good snacks and a great moment to get to know these ponies.

Jaden had just danced his flank off and was heading towards the snacks before he collided with a purple unicorn.

" Oh god, I'm so sorry about that" the unicorn said in panic" I wasn't looking were I was going"

" It's alright" Jaden said as he rose up" Mistakes happen all the time"

"  What's going on here?" A purple scaled baby dragon asked

But when he saw the situation that his friend was in, he let a grin spread across his face.

" WOA!" Jaden said impressed " A real baby dragon".

" Um... yeah I'm Spike, Twilights assistant" the little dragon said.

" Nice to meet you guys, I'm Jaden" Jaden answered and turned back to Twilight, who looked away while blushing.

" Geez, Twilight, now you're even worse than Fluttershy" Spike said, smiling at his friend's reaction of blushing even more.

" Uhm... You alright" Jaden asked Twilight and put a hoof to her forehead, " You're having a fever or something?"

This was the last thing Twilight could take, and she collapsed on the floor.

Jaden looked at her, scared of that what just happened, meanwhile Spike bursted out in laughter.

"I... I did....I didn't do a thing, she just..." Jaden said to Spike.

"It's alright, I take care of it" Spike said as he lifted her backlegs up and dragged her towards some chairs" Welcome to Ponyville by the way"

"Eh...thanks" Jaden said confused at what just happened.

"What's up with my friend Twilight?" A cyan pegasus asked him.

"I don't know"  Jaden answered her" We were just talking and next thing I know, she collapses on the floor."

"Strange, she's usually not like that "  the pegasus said" That's more like Fluttershy"

" You know her?" Jaden turned around and asked the pegasus.

" Yeah. She's my friend" the pegasus said.

"Well, my friends, friends are my friends" Jaden said and raised a hoof" I'm Jaden, what's your name?"

"I'm the most awsome, talented and fastest flyer in Equestria." She kept on bragging" I'm Rainbow Dash"

"Nice to meet you Dash" Jaden said.

The rest of the party was all about dancing, talking to his new friends and telling little foals about how he defeated the dragon.

"I'm gonna like this place" Jaden thought to himself.
