Friendship is Magic part one
Friendship is Magic part one
It was a bright and sunny day in Ponyville and Butter biscuit was looking forward to a nice evening of celebration with all the other ponies of the town that had been selected to host the annual national event but the very friendly pony in front of her had another idea.
"But you just have to come and help with the surprise party at the old library for the new pony!" Pinky Pie nearly shouted in Butter Biscuits ear as the less than enthusiastic golden-brown mare continued to backup due to the initial surprise at being ambushed on her way to help with the decoration of town hall.
"No, no thank you, Pinkie," Butter Biscuit said with a forced smile and A quick glance over her shoulder "I was just going to help some friends setup the stage for Princess Celestia and besides, I am not a big partier."
"Wheel oki doki loki then," Said Pinkie Pie now back to her bouncy self, "but this is for a new pony so if you change your mind then you come and tell me, ok?"
"Yes Pinkie, I will," said Butter Biscuit as she turned around and tired to leave but was in interrupted by Pinkie with a tap on the shoulder and a hoof in another direction that just so happened to be the actual direction of town hall and not in to an alley and easy escape. With a slight blush Butter Biscuit Hurried past Pinkie Pie in the direction she had pointed and soon reached her destination.

Two and a half hours had passed since Butter Biscuit had arrived at town hall and gone straight to Rarity, the one she had been told was in charge of this years decorations by her friend Popcorn and was just now finishing putting up the streamers, banners and plants that now ran from balcony to balcony all over the interior of town hall.
Butter Biscuit had not eaten since breakfast and now she was feeling it in full force as she looked down at the platter of warm Apple family pies laid out in front of her on a table in a corner. From this table of divine blessings ready to be eaten Butter Biscuit was privy to the scene of a pony with a dragon and a very frizzy mane and tail walking up to Rarity who was still deciding which ribbon to use where and strike up a conversation with her. A moment later Rarity turned to see her and loosed a shrill cry of shock at the sight before her and began pushing the new pony away to what ever fate awaited her.
At 5:30 Butter Biscuit went home and took a shower then ate diner and finally settled down to read a nice book on baking. As the night dragged on Butter Biscuit stepped out on to her balcony to watch the fireworks and lost track of time...
Butter Biscuit woke with a start as the big finale cracked and boomed overhead. Butter Biscuit began to slide the sliding door that had been shut to keep the summer bugs out when four stars caught her eye, all four where moving toward the moon at a very fast pace; Butter Biscuit brushed this off as "One of the stunts the mayor had planed for the special occasion" Popcorn had told her about but this seemed a bit extreme even for her.
Butter Biscuit had her attention brought back to the task at hand when her hoof slipped on the door again and bringing back the old argument with herself about why she had bought a unicorn house with round and flat doorknobs, flat drawer handles and the like but she decided to put that thought away for another day and for now just get some sleep before dawn.
Butter Biscuit woke to the alarm she had set a few hours earlier and like a responsible pony got out of bet and started brushing her buttery yellow mane and tail. Most of the parties were still going strong with lights and dancing while others were fizzling out as ponies left to sleep, go to other parties or like her going to see Celestia raise the sun. Butter biscuit walked downstairs and putt on the saddlebags she had prepared yesterday for this trip.
Before she exited her sleek and tilled bathroom Butter Biscuit took one last look at her reflection, turned around and left for town hall.
When Butter Biscuit entered town hall it was already packed to the brim with pegasi hovering in the air and ponies from faraway places all coming to see there princes do her great work; as Butter biscuit ponder this and how exotic some of the ponies seemed when a bird chorus sounded above the crowd announcing Celestias coming.
"Fillies and Gentlecolts," the mare spoke to the crowd, "as mayor of ponyville it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the summer sun celebration!"
The mayor paused as the crowd erupted in cheers but it quickly quieted as she began speaking again" In just a few moments our town will witness the magic of the sunrise and celebrate this, the longest day of the year!"
"and now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land," Butter Biscuits eyes slowly drifted up to the open balcony to see the same stars amalgamate in to the moon and the silhouette vanish from it,"the very pony who gives us the son and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria, Princes Celectia!"
A bird chorus sounded and the large stage curtains where pulled back revealing and empty stage. Gasps rippled through the crowd as the mayor tried to keep the ponies calm but Butter Biscuit was fixated on the moon, the same moon now without a very important feature.
"Oooo, shes good." said one pony in the crow who quickly followed it up with a quick startled scream as blue mist spotted with white specks blew on to the stage like a cold night wind. Suddenly the mist formed together and exploded apart leaving in its place a tall dark alicorn with the same mist in the place of a mane and tail.
"Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious, little sun-loving faces." said the tall dark pony addressing the crowd.
"What did you do with our Princess?!" shouted a pegasus near the back of the hall.
The pony on stage laughed and quick began to speak again "Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?"
"Ooh, ooh, more guessing games! Um, Hokey Smokes! How about... Queen Meanie! No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty" said the same pony as before but was cutoff at the end.
" Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?"
" I did. And I know who you are. You're the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon!" said a purple pony Butter Biscuit had not seen before
Butter Biscuit did not wait to hear the rest, she was already half way to the door.
The Adventures of Butter Biscuit
Friendship is magic part two
Butter Biscuit was half way home when she tripped over a small rock is the road and fell face first in to a cart parked on the roadside awaiting a stall pony who was, no doubt at town hall where Celestia was supposed to be just minutes before. As Butter Biscuit picked herself she happened to look down the street and saw Popcorn exit town hall in a similar state of panic to her. Butter Biscuit began to gallop towards her and yell in an attempt to get her attention.
When Popcorn heard Butter Biscuit she turned and galloped to her as for both to meet in the middle.
"What happened in there?" asked Butter Biscuit.
"You tell me!" said the popcorn colored pony. "And what was that thing, it was like a living nightmare!"
"Well what ever it was we gave got to tell somepony,"
"yea, come on," Popcorn said over her shoulder "the guard post is pretty close,"
Popcorn started to run down the street and Butter Biscuit quickly followed after her.

After a bit of travel Butter Biscuit and Popcorn arrived outside the Ponyville guards post witch from what BB could see over Popcorns shoulder was in a state of disarray with ponies pounding on the front door and crying and the yard.
Popcorn stopped prompting Butter Biscuit to walk straight in to Popcorns backside and immediately pull back to see why she had stopped. When Butter Biscuit looked down she saw a pink pony with a lime green mane and tail sobbing on the ground whom, it appeared, Popcorn was now softly poking with her hoof and talking to.
"Hay, are you ok?" asked Popcorn. "Hay answer me!" said Popcorn in a more commanding tone, "Are you ok?"
Popcorn then tried to role the pony over but before she could another pony with a very similar pink cote but this time a blond mane stumbled over and grabbed Popcorns foreleg dragging her over in to the puddle of tears with the first mare.
"I'm ok!" shouted Popcorn to Butter Biscuit as she struggled to get up.
"Ok then."
Butter Biscuit began walking up to the guard post door again but like Popcorn before her she to was interrupted.
"It's the end of the world shouted a pony as she ran up to Butter Biscuit and grabbed her by the neck. "The end for all thing holy!"
Just as quickly as she had come the strange pony left leaving BB quit a bit confused and her ears ringing but now finally free to complete her errand. Inhaling, Butter Biscuit knocked on the front door but did not receive a responds and so continued, It was some time before she got a reply.
"We're closed so just go away!" said a bleary eyed pony is a guards uniform who tried to shut the small window he had just opened. " But the princess is missing and the sun is not rising." was Butter Biscuits responds as she stuck her hoof in the opening to stop the window from closing.
Just then a small light of what was unmistakably dawn crested the horizon. The night time was over.

It had only been a few hours since and never ending night ended and the ponies of Ponyville where already running through the streets as confetti rained down. Butter Biscuit and Popcorn where in the front row when the princesses came down in they'r golden chariot to the cheers of the gathered ponies.
"Well that was something alright," said Popcorn "Do you think next week will be peaceful?".
"Maybe but what ever happens it will be an adventure right"
"I guess it will be."
The Adventures of Butter Biscuit
The Ticket Master/Plumbing With Ponies
"Ok, I think I.. got.. it " a loud clank and pop rung through out the room as the stubborn slip nut came lose and flung across the kitchen floor. With a grunt Butter Biscuit started to back out from under her kitchen sink but with a painful jolt realized her main had been caught in some adhesive. She was trapped....
Two and a half hours had passed since Butter Biscuit had had been reduced to her uncomfortable, smelly fate under the sink. She had tried everything she could think of trying to get out, she had gently pulled, tried to reach scissors in the cabinet and tried to find gunk remover, a task made much harder by the fact her head was stuck facing up staring at the bottom of her sink.
A few minutes later sompony out on the street started yelling about bats and sarsaparilla before multiple voices descended in to a shouting match finally being stopped by a single voice shouting for the others to be silent.
As time passed and the suns passed by her window Butter Biscuit began to contemplate the mean of her life, what it all meant and where she was going. Rain came and went bet she was without motion, unrelenting, a rock in the storm of the cosmos. She was so close, she almost had it-"Yo Butter Biscuit, you home?" came a shout from outside her front door.
"Just a minute," she shouted back "I', almost done." And she was, she was so close to comprehending everything there was and everything the ever will be, she know it.
"Are you going to let me in?", "No!" she thought, she was not ready.
"When you said you needed help with your plumbing yesterday I thought you might be a bit more enthusiastic about some help."
"Yes yes, it was nothing," she said with an irritated tone, "by all means come in"
With a soft hum and click the door swung open propelled by magic. As Butter Biscuit listened to the visitor come toward her and stop at the door frame at the entrance the her kitchen and with one hoof motioned to a drawer at the far end of the room.
"hay, Mystic radiance, sorry about that," Butter Biscuit was blushing softly but it could not be seen under the sink, "can you please hoof me some scissors?"
Mystic radiance raised and eye brow and trotted over to the drawer, got out the scissors and brought them back to Butter Biscuit. "Here you go," she said, "So tell me how you got in to this one." Mystic radiance said with a vaguely patronizing tone.
"Oh it's nothing," Butter Biscuit replied with a few grunts as she carefully cut her self lose, struggling to use the scissors with her hoofs.
"So want me to fix this now?" Mystic radiance asked.
"Yea, ok." was BB's only responds.
The pipes popped and squeaked and soon the plumbing was fixed leaving Butter Biscuit to her own thoughts. "Wow, what a day!" was one of many of the aforementioned thoughts that swirled in her mind as she went to sleep.
