The Cowpony and the Jester

Tex trotted across the long countryside. Salty trotted up to him.

"Do you have a crush on somepony?" Salty asked, winking.

"Uh.... so do you!" Tex retorted.

"Hey, Tex! Waddya say we go play some pranks!" Surprise's voice called out to Tex.

"Hey, Surprise!" Tex called out as Surprise flew up to him.

"So, you wanna go prank somepony? We could go to the Satin Slipper!" Surprise suggested.

"Sure, jus' lemme put my rope at home!" Tex smiled. Surprise grabbed the rope and hoofed it over to Salty.

"He'll take it back! C'mon, let's go!" Surprise rushed Tex.

"Woah, now! Calm down!" Tex smiled, digging his hooves into the ground to keep her from completely dragging him away.

The two ponies trotted to the Sweet Shoppe. They saw a white pony with a red mane standing at the counter. She had on a red dress and it was very, very poofy.

"Oh no, not Truly!" Tex whimpered, pulling his hat down over his eyes again.

"Why, hello, Surprise." Truly said without much emotion. "Who's that stallion next to ya?"

"Nopony! Nopony whatsoever!" Surprise said.

"That's not nopony! That's mah ex boyfriend!" Truly shouted angrily. "Ya can't steal him like that!"

"I didn't steal him!" Surprise shouted. "You can't steal ponies! And I know for a fact that's not your cow pony hat!"

"Whatevah! Ah hope you two break up!" Truly said angrily.

"I hope we never do!" Tex whispered to Surprise.

Fizzy's head appeared from behind the counter. She looked around, panicked.

"You're so brave!" Fizzy said, coming up to the two.

"Ah know, ah know!" Tex smiled, winking. He liked to take credit for everything.

"Hey, I did most of it!" Surprise smiled. "Now, let's get some ice cream!"
