MLP Next Gen Short Stories Collectionby SapphirePastelsChaptersBandanaSugar!Pep TalkBandanaCameo ran through his room, searching for something. After hearing the noisy stallion Autumn entered the room. "What are you doing digging around like a crazed timberwolf?" Autumn asked rubbing her eyes. "My bandana!" Cameo yelled, spinning around to face Autumn, "It's important! I-...Autumn...why do you have my bandana?" The unicorn looked down and put a dainty hoof to the patterned fabric, "It was just sitting out so I went to put it away but I had to go help Cinnamon so I just put it on I guess." "Autumn! Why didn't you tell me? Do you know where I got that bandana?" he exclaimed. "Calm down Camo!" Autumn laughed, "I know it's important to you but YOU know how well I take care of my things. I care even more about other's things! It's not a big deal" Cameo snorted loudly as Autumn levitated the bandana off from her neck, "It's my grandpa's! Ma's dad, he died just weeks after her ma died. Her hat was Honey Rose's. I was named after Cameo Apple who had this bandana so, yeah, it is a big deal!" "Shush you," the mare said as she tied the bandana around his neck, "Calm yourself and go to sleep already. You've been working too late and you're a bit delusional, just like your mother." With a peck on the cheek she trotted off to her room. Sugar!"Hey Pin!" Party Pop called from the kitchen of Sugarcube Corner. A pink unicorn trotted in to see what her twin wanted. Without saying a word she looked to Party who held up two bottles of soda. Pinny rolled her eyes are trotted towards her sister. "123GO!" Pinny yelled and began chugging the soda. The two downed the caffeinated drinks quickly, far too much sugar and energy at once. The purple pony looked at Pinny and before she could say anything her face met the table. The other mare had different effects though. She ran around the room like a crazed pony, levitating different sugary things around her. In only a few moments her pupils shrunk. The unicorn twitched a moment then a magical burst sent her teleported to the main counter. She stood between a pony ordering sweets and Butterscotch. "Uh, Pinny?" the stallion watched her warily. She looked at him and her horn started glowing. Before Butterscotch could do anything she teleported the other pony. He put a hoof to his head, "Dear Celestia...Not again..." Pinny was about to bolt again when the giant stallion grabbed her horn and scolded her. While she attempted to wiggle away he carried her to Pinkie. "Guess what," he smiled at the mare. "Again?" the cheerful pony stifled laughter, "I'll have to have a tall with these two crazy girls. Thanks Butters." "No problem," Butterscotch chuckled, "Just lock the sugar and stuff where they can't get it. If you don't Party's gonna get a bruised head while Pinny teleports half of Ponyville." Pep TalkQuartz Fire sat at the window and stared out as rain hit the glass. He sighed, not caring as a blue flame snaked out. "Quartz?" a familiar voice called. Without bothering to look at her he muttered, "What is it Amethyst? Nothing's wrong." "I'm not stupid," she snorted, "I know when my little brother's upset. Now what's the problem?" "Just thinking," he said looking up to the grey clouds. Amethyst hummed while sitting by the larger dracony, "Hmm..." "It's not fair!" he exclaimed, "I'm going to outlive everyone I know except for Eris!" "Told you I knew you were upset. Now, there, there big guy. It's alright. I know we'll live longer. You'll have your marefriend still if you stay with Eris but think about me. I want to stay with Thunder but he'll die far before I do. But do I mope around dwelling on that? No! It's in the future. It doesn't matter yet. We'll be there for each other though and I know Eris will stay with you. She's immortal Q. Sometimes life gives you a hard time but you fight back. Be brave dude, just flaunt it! 'Look at me! I'm gonna live longer than everyone but that doesn't bother me! I'm gonna push through and be the best dang stallion I can be!' So quit being such a buzzkill. You haven't been being yourself lately. If you need to see Eris, go get that girl! She loves you so much you might not even have to go to Canterlot! She'll come here! And you know how much Mum loves that you're dating royalty heheheh. Just sit back and have a ruby and enjoy your life," she grinned. Quartz finally looked at her, "I didn't know you could talk to much." "Oh shut up you," the purple unicorn stuck out her forked tongue. "Whatever you say Princess," he laughed, "...You're getting kinda close Amethyst..." She swatted her tail at his face, "I'm your older sister. It's my job to make you uncomfortable."
