The Crazy Life Of James Sparkle

The bell rings once again, signalling that it's time to go back inside the schoolhouse. You, Button Mash, and Rumble all throw away whatever's left of your lunch and go back inside. As you all sit back in your seats, Miss Cherilee writes something down on the chalkboard.

"Alright students, now, most of you know that today we..."

SOME MORE VERY, VERY BORING AND LONG HOURS LATER

As the final bell rings and everypony rushes outside to go home, you and Rumble once again have to stay inside to wake Button up. Why did he sleep so much today, you have no idea. He possibly spent most of last night playing videogames, since you remember a light from his house still on when you went home earlier at, like, 3 A.M.

"Button, wake up! Schools over!" You yell.

Right when you see Rumble lean over to his ear, you stop him. "Rumble! Don't do that again! I don't want to actually get hit this time!"

"Hey, chill! I wasn't going to tell him that again! He never falls for the same thing two times in a row. I would know."

"Alright." You reply. "What were you going to say then?"

"That you stole his JoyBoy."

Button's eyes shoot open once again, and he lunges at you. You manage to dodge just in time. Button lands just outside of the building, and gets covered in dirt and grass. He gets up and goes back inside to collect his things.

"Oh, it's right here." He says, holding up his JoyBoy. "Wait, did I fall asleep again?"

You and Rumble both nod.

"And did Rumble say that just to get me up?"

You nod and lightly kick Rumble with the side of your leg, knocking him away from you a couple inches. He glares at you, but you don't pay any attention to him.

You head outside, Button and Rumble following. They go one way while you stay around the outskirts of the schoolyard, looking for your mom.

You see her, finally, and quickly walk over to her.

"Hey Mom!" You say. "Where were you?"

"Oh...sorry about that. I just lost track of time while studying." She responds. "Come on. Let's go home."

You are engulfed in a flash of light, waiting to finally go home. Right when you appear in your home, you see Spike rush to Mom.

"Twilight! Important message from Princess Celestia!" He handed a letter to Mom.

Once she was finished reading it, she turns to you. "Alright. You're ungrounded. Why don't you go stay at Pinkie's for a while?" She spoke quickly. Must be really urgent for me to get ungrounded when it's been only two days.

"Okay?" Is all you can say. "See you later.....I guess?"

She teleports away quickly. You look at Spike questioningly, and he just shrugs.

You head over to Sugarcube Corner to see if Pinkie is there. Sure enough, she is. And she is covered in flour.

"Is everything alright? I can come back later if you're-"

She cuts you off. "No...I'm just babysitting the babies again. It seems like the only thing that'll make them happy is this."

You try and stifle a laugh. "I can help watch over th-"

"OH THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!" Pinkie yells, squeezing you tight......and covering you with flour.

"Alright then. So....where are they?" You ask.

Her eyes shoot open. "*Gasp*! They're gone! Oh no! If they're gone then Mr. and Mrs. Cake will be mad at me for losing them! And if they get mad at me for losing them, then I can't babysit them anymore! And if they get even madder, I'll probably lose my job! And if they get madderer, then I'll have to move out of Ponyville! And if I have to move out of Ponyville, then there won't be anymore parties! And if there aren't any more parties..."

"Pinkie-" You try and cut her off.

"THEN PONYVILLE WILL BE BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Pinkie!"

"I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!! JAMES!!! WE NEED TO FIND THOSE BABIES OR ELSE MR. AND MRS. CAKE WILL GET SO MAD THAT I'LL LOSE MY JOB AND I'LL HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF PONYVILLE AND-"

"PINKIE PIE!!!" You yell a bit louder then you were aiming for. "Calm down! They're right there!" You point under a table. And sure enough, Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake are eating a pie under the table.

She stares at them for a while. "Oh.......sorry about that. I guess I just overreacted a little."

You cross your arms and raise an eyebrow. "A little? Right..."

"Alright...I overreacted allot."

You look at the foals for a while, then back at Pinkie. Or at least, a pile of flour that used to be Pinkie. She somehow moved under the table with them and starting eating the pie also without you seeing.

THE NEXT DAY

You wake up on the floor of Pinkie's room. She has collapsed on the bed, asleep, as well as the babies.

You make your way downstairs and outside of Sugarcube Corner. You see the clock tower reading eight, yet it's still very dark out. Weird. When you reach home and open the door, you see a table in the middle of the room, a lantern sitting on the table, and books everywhere, but no Mom.

"Mom?" You yell. "Spike. Anypony here?" No answer. You head over to a big book on the table and see a bookmark in it. You open up to the page with the bookmark. "Lord Tirek? What's this" You see a picture of a large centaur looking thing on the right page, and on the left page are just words. You continue reading about it for about five minutes.

"Phht. Yeah right. Like a large centaur demon thing is actually going to come and destroy us all. What a waist of time. I wonder why Mom would even have this book. It's not like anypony would actually believe this stuff."

You slam the book shut, kinda hard actually, and hear a scream, as well as a large thud coming from upstairs. Rushing upstairs, you see Mom on the ground, awake, and her bed sheets messed up.

"Morning Mom! Hey, why isn't the sun up yet? It's eight o' clock, right Or is that giant clock tower broken?"

Her eyes shoot open. "Oh no! The sun! I forgot to ra- I mean....uhm.......I gotta go!" She goes out onto the balcony and unfolds her wings. She flaps them just once, and is thrown high into the air with a sparkly trail behind her.

"Okay then? Goodbye?" You swear that some things get stranger everyday, and this is a perfect example.
