Three years after the defeat of Tirek,Twilight Sparkle and her friends decided that the best decision was to bask in the warmth that was peace. Princess Twilight and her friends,Rainbow Dash,Pinkie Pie,Rarity,Fluttershy,and Applejack eventually settled down,with no threats to Equestria,there was nothing to do but go on with everyday life,whatever everyday life meant.
"Parodius,time to wake up dear" Twilight nudged a young stallion who was under a blanket,the stallion pulled the blankets over his head,much to Twilight's slight dismay. "Parodius,its 8:00 in the morning,time for you to get up" Twilight said to Parodius,an upset tone in her voice "But if I get up i'll have to do a lot of boring things today" Parodius replied back to Twilight. "Not today" Twilight said with a smile "Today you are going to go out and make some friends,like I did when I came to Ponyville" she continued, "I get to go outside the castle?" Parodius asked "Like out on my own and stuff?" he continued with a hopeful expression. "Yes on your own,I've taught you all I can on the simplest of magic,but you need to go out and make friends so that you can learn about the magic Friendship" Twilight explained "You may be an Alicorn already,but you've yet to be a true friend" she finished. Parodius threw off his blankets and got ready. Parodius was a purple-ish grey slender pony draconquesus hybrid,with small clawed hind legs,red eyes with yellow sclera,his purple and black mane brushed in the front in Twilight's style with the back of his mane sticking up in a semi-buzz cut,his tail dragon like with the tuft of fur at the end the same color of his mane.
Parodius left the castle,passing houses and ponies,coming to his first destination,the Carousel Boutique. "Hello,miss Rarity?" Parodius hesitantly said "She's out for the day" a voice said,it was Sweetie Belle,Parodius stood still slightly love-struck "O-oh,my bad,i'll leave or something" he replied stumbling over a mannequin. "Don't be such a klutz!" an upset voice shouted,a young drastallion rushed out stubbing his hooves along the way,he was taller than Parodius and was a pale lavender with darkish purple spines and his light green,yes Obsidian sure did resemble his parents Spike and Sweetie Belle. "Oh,i'm sorry I didn't mean it" Parodius apologized, "Me and mom worked hard on this,don't get it dirty" Obsidian angrily replied, "Obsidian,don't be rude" Sweetie Belle scolded "Your jeweled jacket is fine" she continued "Sorry,say whats your name?" Obsidian asked a slight embarrassed tone. "My name is Parodius,my mom is Twilight" Parodius replied "I'm going around town to make friends,wanna come with?" he continued. "Sure thing,lets go,uh bye mom!" Obsidian replied, "Bye Obsidian,don't remember to be polite!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.
Parodius and Obsidian trotted to Sugar Cube Corner,"The new wing in a nice touch,gets rid of the clutter from before" Obsidian commented,forgetting to fill in Parodius. "Why did it need a new wing?" Parodius appropriately asked "Oh,so Cheesecake and Cott'n'Candy don't have to be cramped upstairs with Pinkie Pie" Obsidian replied nonchalantly. "Who's Cheesecake and Cott'nCandy?" Parodius asked,not completely filled in. Suddenly there was flash of lightning and the sound of a confetti popper going off,Parodius screamed and leaped hitting his head into Sugar Cube Corner's sign. "Oh you two,don't be so flashy,Parodius is new here" Obsidian chuckled to a lanky unicorn and a pegasus much shorter then him "Sorry Parodius" the lanky unicorn said with a slight snicker in his voice "Did we overdue it Cheese?" the pegasus inquired "Did we overdue it?" the unicorn asked Parodius "Well if your idea of over doing it was giving me a bump on my head,yes you did overdue it" Parodius replied with a frustrated tone. "Well we're sorry,we just like surprising new friends so amazingly that they get used to our surprises!" the pegasus chirped "Anyway,i'm Cheesecake and this is my twin sister Cott'n'Candy!" Cheesecake said happily. Cheesecake was a tall peach color,his brownish pink and pinkish cream mane/tail was in a curled poofy style,his eyes were a bright pink,his cutie mark was a confetti popper.
Cott'n'Candy was pinkish peach color,her magenta-pink and hot pink mane was straight on the left side with a rounded ponytail on the right side,her tail was a wavy poof that was decorated in rainbow colored ribbons.
"So what brings you here?" Cott'n'Candy asked,"My mom,Princess Twilight,said that I needed to go out and make some friends" Parodius replied "Friends? Well you certainly got two right here!" Cheesecake said with a smile,pulling his sister next to him. "Thats great,my next stop is Sweet Apple Acres" Parodius continued,"I know where Sweet Apple Acres is" Obsidian said almost out of nowhere, "I'll show you" he continued "And we'll come with you" the twins added in unison.
"Alright,next stop,Sweet Apple Acres!"
Story One Part Two: Pilot
Parodius,Obsidian,and the Pie twins trotted to Sweet Apple Acres,who were in the beginning of Cider season. "Cider season already? I have hardly noticed" Obsidian said questioningly, "I can only assume our sparkly cider friend is to blame" Cheesecake said. "Lets not leave Parodius out of this guys" Cott'n'Candy said knowing that Parodius was new. "Mother always brought some cider back when she left the castle,but I never knew somebody other than the Apple Family made it" Parodius replied sipping his drink,"Somebody from the Apple Family makes it Parodius" Obsidian replied "Well who?" Parodius asked."You rang?" a voice said,almost on cue a tall cream orange stallion with a pale red and white mane rose up from behind a "sparkling cider" stand,his cutie mark couldn't be seen from behind the stand. "My name is Carbon Cider,son of a hard worker and a conman,may I take your order?" he said with a quick voice and loud crowd attracting tone, "What happened to your horn?" Parodius asked ignoring Carbon Cider's entrance "I hurt it while working on cider" he replied not even slightly offended by Parodius ignoring what he said before. "But I can still make cider" Carbon Cider continued,trotting out from behind the stand,showing a cider mug cutie mark. "We should take some off this to Grease and Sunny" Obsidian thoughtfully said "Before a pair of ponies drinks it all" he continued looking at Cheesecake and Cott'n'Candy,"Sorry!" the twins said once again in unison.
Parodius,Obsidian,Carbon Cider and the Pie Twins went down to a field under Cloudsdale. "So why did you bring me here?" Parodius asked "Because this is where Grease and Sunny practice" Cott'n'Candy replied,"When the two get tired from racing,they'll want something to drink" Carbon Cider continued patting the saddlebag with two large bottles of cider inside it. A short but stocky mare galloped past them,bumping into Parodius. "I-i'm sorry" the mare said stepping off Parodius "No problem,just watch where you're going" Parodius said in an annoyed tone. "Sunny Red,my ever so shy cousin,where in Equestria is Grease?" Carbon Cider said handing Sunny a bottle of cider. "He's at Sweet Apple Acres helping with apple collecting" she replied. Sunny Red was a short but strong looking mare,she was colored a pale peach color with her mane being a bit darker,peach was a color that ran in the Apple Family nowadays. Her Cutie Mark was a bushel of peaches and apples. Galloping back to Sweet Apple Acres,Parodius and the gang came to a bunch of trees with the apples and peaches knocked down,"Looks like Grease has been busy" Cheesecake commented,"How dare he!" Sunny shouted "Without the rest of his team?!" she angrily continued "Not on our watch!" Cott'n'Candy yelled,not taking the matter as seriously as Sunny,"We'll show him,Cott'n! Thundery Surprise formation!" Cheesecake shouted,and him and Cott'n'Candy ran off into the tree grove. "I'm having trouble processing this" Parodius squeaked,a confused look on his face. "Well,every cider season,Sunny gets Grease to help her collecting the apples and peaches for the Sparkling Cider" Carbon Cider explained "Grease must've gotten impatient and started himself,I did notice a lack of Sunny's existance this morning" he continued. Obsidian commented on the matter "Well,he'll be surprised in three,two,one-",suddenly a flash of lightning and a explosion of confetti was seen and heard. "And he got his surprise" Obsidian finished,trotting over to where the confetti originated. "Do they do this often?" Parodius asked Carbon Cider "Oh yes,yes they do" Carbon Cider answered while trotting away from Parodius,"Lovely,I just looove surprises" Parodius unhappily replied.
"Uncle! I didn't mean it!",a cyan pegasus was getting a horrible noogie from Sunny,"Greased Lightning you will NOT start cider season without me ever again!" Sunny shouted messing up Grease's mane. "Uhhh am I interrupting something?" Parodius said in a very confused tone. "No,not really,she does this a lot" Grease replied while having his face squished around. "Alright Sunny,I think Grease has had enough" Obsidian said,"Thank youuu" Grease said. Greased Lightning was a cyan stallion with a rasberry and dark blue mane/tail in a Blitz style,his cutie mark was a kicked in punching bag.
"Hey-o there!" Grease shook Parodius's hoof violently,"Uhhm nice to meet you" Parodius replied rubbing his hoof,"What brings you here?" Grease asked,"Princess Twilight told me I had to make some friends" Parodius replied.
"Friends huh? Well you have some right here" Obsidian commented.
To be continued...
"Really? You guys would be my friends?" Parodius asked happily. "Yes,we'd love to be your friends" Sunny replied with a smile "Why wouldn't we be?" she continued. "Thanks guys,this means a lot to me!" Parodius said,a tear in his eye. "You should get home Parodius,its getting dark" Obsidian said calmly. "That's right,I do have to get home,i'll see you guys tomorrow!" Parodius replied,turning himself towards home.
"Sounds like you had a good time Parodius" Twilight said to Parodius after he told her how his day went. "I'm going to see them tomorrow too!" Parodius said. "I'm proud of you Parodius,goodnight" Twilight then left Parodius' room for the night.
Meanwhile in Canterlot,an orange mare wandered the streets,for many moons she had been in a world familiar to her,but know she was lost in this world and it confused her. She hated to be confused and she hated this world.
"Do you think that this is such a good idea sister?" Queen Luna asked Queen Celestia. "Yes,I believe it is ready,while Twilight has her objection.this is more important" Celestia replied to Luna. "I have faith in you sister,but is this threat so large that we must gather as many of us as possible?" Luna replied in a worried tone. "While putting this weight on so many may be hard,you know as well as I do that this could harm all of Equestria if not controlled" Celestia said reassuringly "With enough hope,this foreign threat can be stopped before Equestria is harmed".
