Chapter 1: Friendship is Awesome
In the land of Equestria in the city of Canterlot lived a young Unicorn named Dusk Shine, the most gifted student of his generation and personal student to Princess Celestia. Currently this Unicorn was galloping through the path to reach his home as fast as he could.
“Oh hey Dusk,” a mare said as he was running by, “Are you busy late-er?”
The mare tried to speak to him but he completely ignored her and her friends racing off without so much as a word.
“Well that was rude,” the mare said.
“Meh, you know how Dusk is. He’d rather study than make friends he’s never had a single one,” her Unicorn friend said.
Other such ponies tried to say hello to the speedy Unicorn but it was no use. Dusk Shine was on a mission and that mission was to save Equestria from the impending doom that was Nightmare moon. He had been looking into it for months.
At first it seemed to be just a slight change in the path of the moon. Then the position of the stars began shifting. Then those blots of shadows started appearing on the surface of the moon eventually and slowing creating the image of that cursed form of a dark and watchful Alicorn.
Other ponies had called him parianoid, and he was hoping that he was right.
BASH!
Not giving it a second thought Dusk shine crashed through the double doors of his apartment causing them to slam on the inside wall.
“Spike!? Spike!” Dusk yelled looking for his faithful assistant and brother.
“uugh.”
Dusk heard the sound of some pained moaning from the other side of the slammed door. His horn gave a violet glow and moved the doors back in place revealing a young dragon stuck to the wall with a small red present in his hands.
“Spike this isn’t the time to be goofing off! We got work to do,” Dusk said using his magic again to peel off Spike and levitate him to the bookcase floor.
Spike woozily tried to keep his balance as he stood up trying to see what Dusk was doing.
“What’s the rush Dusk?” Spike asked him.
“I need to find a book about the Elements of Harmony find that book labeled Predictions and Prophecies,” Dusk Shine told him, “What’s with the box?”
Spike looked down at the present he was holding. Smashed into a pancake from the force of the door that crushed him.
“It was supposed to be a gift for Moon Dancer’s birthday,” Spike told him.
“No party! We have work to do,” Dusk told him going through the books on his enormously tall shelf.
“But it’s summer break!” Spike complained.
Dusk ignored him and continued to read through the titles of the books he had taken out. Predicting the Weather, Prophecy of the Mare-oh, Predictable Fighting Techniques, and so on.
“Where is that book!?” Dusk Shine yelled.
“Over here!” Spike yelled at his friend holding up a book from the top of another huge shelf.
Dusk Shine didn’t give Spike a chance to let go and he brought him and the book down to the ground.
“Lets see Elements of Harmony, Elements of Harmony… Here we go… see Mare in the Moon,” Dusk Shine read.
“Mare in the Moon, isn’t that supposed to be an old tale,” Spike told him as he started putting all the books away again.
Dusk shine turned to the page labeled mare in the moon to find a glossary image of the moon with a disturbingly similar appearance to the moon Dusk was keeping his eye on. He began reading the passage.
“The Mare in the Moon, a powerful pony from olden times who wanted to rule Equestria who was sealed by the Elements of Harmony and imprisoned in the moon. Legend has it that on the Thousandth year of the longest day of her imprisonment the stars will aid in her escape and she will bring nighttime eternal,” Dusk finished with a shocked gasp “Spike, do you know what this means!?”
“It means we’ll miss Moon Dancer’s party?” Spike asked.
He was suddenly levitated up and on top of Dusk’s back before quickly being given a quill and parchment.
“Spike take a letter,” Dusk Shine told him, “Dear Princess Celestia I have urgent news. We are on the verge of disaster. I have reason to believe that the Mare in the Moon, Nightmare Moon, will soon be released from her prison and try to bring nighttime eternal. We must do all we can to prepare for this event and stop this disaster from happening. Your faithful student Dusk Shine.”
Spike quickly finished up and rolled the paper up before igniting it with some dragon fire sending a wisp of magical note dust straight to the princess.
“You sure we should be bothering her, tomorrow is the Summer Sun celebration and she should be busy,” Spike told him.
“This is all happening on the day OF the Summer Sun Celebration. She needs to know right away what’s happening. She’ll be sure to respond to me right away I trust the princess completely to make the proper and right decision,” Dusk Shine said.
“I have been betrayed,” Dusk Shine said dejectedly as he stepped down from the Pegasus carriage.
Princess Celestia had responded quickly as Dusk Shine had predicted. But instead of telling him the plan to defend against the oncoming doom that was Nightmare Moon he gave him a check list for the coming Summer Sun Celebration.
This year the celebration would be held in a quaint little town called Ponyville and Celestia had given him two different task.
Ensure that the Summer Sun Celebration goes as planned.
And make some friends.
“She didn’t betray you Dusk,” Spike said riding on his brothers back, “but she’s right, you’ve been spending so much time in your home that you’ve lost all touch with the outside world. It’ll be nice to try and make some new friends.”
“I don’t need to make friends Spike, I need to protect the world from everlasting darkness,” Dusk Shine said.
“But the princess told you to make some friends,” Spike to him.
“I can do that later when we’re not about to lose the sun, for now lets just get this list done and over with so I can find proof of Nightmare Moons return,” Dusk Shine said.
“Alight then,” Spike said looking over the list of operations, “First up we need to check on the catering over at Sweet Apple Acres.”
“Great now where is it,” Dusk Shine said eager to get everything done.
As he was looking around though something really strange caught his eye.
Over in an alley way between two cottage like homes stood a strange looking earth pony.
He was yellow with green eyes and brown puffy hair. He was wearing a cowboy hat with a poncho and saddle. Sitting on his saddle was a rubber chicken, why this grown stallion was treating some inanimate object like a living thing he didn’t know.
This strange Wild West style pony was glaring at Dusk Shine. Like an outlaw who had chosen his next target.
Dusk Shine was starting to worry a bit, he looked to the right and then the left thinking that the dangerous looking pony was glaring at someone else. When he stared back at the threatening pony said pony pointed to his eyes before pointing back at Dusk Shine.
Dusk was hoping this was a misunderstanding and pointed at himself to confirm if he was being targeted.
Then the strange Pony mouthed the next words to him.
‘I’ll’
‘Get’
‘You’
Dusk started sweating bullets, he had just become the target of an obviously crazy pony.
“S-Spike,” Dusk Shine stuttered nervously looking at his assistant, “Did you see any info about the crime rate here in Ponyville?”
“Crime rate? There’s no crime rate here in Ponyville, everyone here is supposed to be really nice,” Spike told him oblivious to the poncho wearing pony.
“But that pony over there-,” Dusk was about to direct Spikes attention to the other pony but he was suddenly gone.
“I’m going to die,” Dusks said in grim realization. He started the weeklong walk back to Canterlot.
“Come on Dusk you’re not getting out of this that easily,” Spike said tugging his brother the other direction he was walking.
Dusk Shine walked the path to Sweet Apple Acres looking every which way for that pony that was going to do him in. Looking through the trees for even the slightest rustle or sign of attack.
“Dusk would you calm down alright,” Spike told him.
“I can’t calm down, we haven’t been here for more than ten minutes and already somepony is out to get me. What if he’s some crazy believer in Nightmare Moon and he’s here to stop me from stopping her release?” Dusk Shine said.
“Dusk would you stop that, I didn’t see any crazy poncho pony,” Spike told him, “Anyway we’re here, Sweet Apple Acres.”
The two of them arrived at a large farm house with apple trees as far as the eye could see, of all kinds of apples.
“Oh boy, I’m starving,” Spike said excited.
“We don’t have time to eat Spike,” Dusk told his assistant, “We’re just going to pop in, check on everything and then go. In and out.”
“Oh come on Dusk! We haven’t eaten all day,” Spike said.
“You can eat when we’re not about to be night timed, I need to keep moving. That crazy pony could be watching me right now waiting for me to make a move,” Dusk told him.
“Dusk there’s nopony after you,” Spike told him.
“Whatever, look there’s a farm pony. Let’s check on the food and go,” Dusk Shine said.
He pointed Spike in the direction of a large red Earth Pony. His mane was a light orange and his cutie mark was that of a large green apple cut in half.
Behind him he was pulling a cart full of barrels with different kinds of apples.
“Let’s just ask him and go quick,” Dusk Shine said. Spike followed behind him.
As the two approached him his figure started to get bigger, Dusk Shine had vastly underestimated the large pony’s size.
SLAM!
The apple farmer began pulling out barrels of apples. He dropped them form about maybe a couple inches from the ground but they all hit the ground as though it was from several feet from the air, and this pony was holding them up with one hoof. Whoever this pony was must have been really strong.
“Um, excuse me,” Dusk said trying to get the pony’s attention.
“E’yup?” the pony answered stopping what he was doing.
“Um… hello there I’m Dusk Shine, the overseer from Canterlot,” Dusk Shine said.
“E’yup,” the pony repeated.
“And… I was just hoping to see if everything was going well.”
“E’yup.”
“… Sooooo… then I guess… I’ll just head off,” Dusk said.
“Ain’t you gonna stick around, see what were servin?” the pony asked him.
“Oh you… can talk,” Dusk said surprised, “Uh I mean, we got a lot of work we need to do.”
“We?” the big pony asked.
“Me and Spi- Spi- Spike?” Dusk looked around.
“Mmmm, these are so good,” Spike said popping out of one of the barrels with a pair of half eaten apples in his hands.
“E’yup, my family’s been growing apples fer generations,” the big pony said, “We’ve also got a mess of pies and pastries if’n ya want.”
“Oh I am so there,” Spike said jumping out of there barrel and onto the large pony’s back.
“Spike,” Dusk tried to tell him.
“What? We gotta make sure the food is good enough for everyone, uh no offense to you mister-,” Spike asked the big pony.
“Names Big Macintosh, but yall can just call me Big Mac or Mac,” he told the little dragon.
“Come on Dusk,” Spike begged.
“Fine, I guess a little food wouldn’t hurt,” Dusk Shine said.
“I never want to see another apple as long as I live,” Dusk Shine groaned carrying the heavy lump that was now his stomach.
The two of them had returned to the residential area of Ponyville for their next overseer check.
“Next up, clearing the skies,” Spike said, “There’s supposed to be a Pegasus Pony named Soarin.”
“Whoa whoa whoa what!?” Dusk forgot about the pain and his mission when he heard the name Spike read.
“What?” Spike said.
“Soarin!? As in Wonderbolt Soarin?” Dusk Shine asked his assistant.
“Yeah, you know him?” Spike questioned.
“They said he left the Wonderbolts because of health reasons? What’s he doing working the weather here?” Dusk asked.
“I don’t know, but look is that him?” Spike asked.
He pointed up to the sky to see a light blue Pegasus flying around pushing a few clouds out of the sky. This Pegasus had a dark blue mane with a cutie mark with a bolt striking through a cloud and he was wearing a pair of goggles.
“Hey, hey!” Dusk Shine called out trying to get the attention of the Pegasus.
He must of heard him because he stopped pushing the cloud and came down to Dusk Shine.
“Hey there, what can I do you for?” Soarin asked him.
“Uh hi, aren’t you Soarin?” Dusk asked him.
To this question the Pegasus didn’t look too happy.
“Yeah,” he answered.
“Wonderbolt Soarin?”
“Yeah.”
“As in one of the best flyers in Equestria?”
“Is this going some where? I got work to do.”
“I’m sorry it’s just that what are you, Soarin, doing here in this one pony town instead of flying with the Wonderbotls?” Dusk Shine asked him.
“There’s a lot more than one pony,” Spike corrected him.
“Not now,” Dusk told him, “I heard that you took a break from the team for health reasons.”
“Is that what they’re saying?” Soarin asked, “Look pal first off it doesn’t matter what the reason is, I’m not on the team right now. Second, what do you mean one pony town?”
“I just… I mean you’re one of the most famous flyers in Equestria, it seems odd that you would be here and not back in Cloudsdale kicking back at your mansion” Dusk Shine said.
“Why would I go there? I like it here,” Soarin told him, “Ponyvilles friendly, no one here makes a big deal about my fame, and the people here are a lot nicer here than in Cloudsdale. You could like this place to if you gave it a chance. Where are you from anyway?”
“Oh uh I’m Dusk Shine from Canterlot,” Dusk Shine answered.
“That stuffy place, no wonder you seem so uptight,” Soarin said, “Do what I did buddy, try making some new friends while it’s easy.”
“What does that mean? You didn’t leave the Wonderbolts because of health reasons?” Dusk Shine asked.
“I left for my own reasons,” Soarin said taking off, “Now if you don’t mind I ‘ve got a sky to clear.”
Soarin took off and began pushing the clouds away again.
“Well… that was odd,” Spike said checking the list.
“I never thought I’d meet Soarin here,” Dusk said, “But what was all that about? Does he not like being a Wonderbolt?”
“Okay next up we need to check up on the decorations,” Spike said.
“What was that all about,” Dusk said to himself as the two of them walked.
“I’m sure he just wanted a break,” Spike said.
Dusk was still concerned about why a famous Pony would give up all that fame just to be in this small town.
“Then why were we told that he quit because of health reasons, something doesn’t add up,” Dusk Shine said.
“I thought we were going to focus on Nightmare Moon,” Spike told him.
“Oh right, yes that is far more important than some crazy conspiracy,” Dusk said.
“Right crazy conspiracy,” Spike said sarcastically, “Anyway the Summer Sun Celebration will be in the Ponyville reception hall. We got a Pegasus named Flash Sentry who volunteered to do the décor.”
“Well I hope he knows what he’s doing,” Dusk Shine said.
The two of them entered the hall and looked inside to see a grand and regal looking place. Suits of armor adored the walls as thought they were poised to attack. A grand chandelier as well as platinum palates that decorated the place.
“Wow, this place looks great,” Spike said looking around.
“Yeah Flash actually did a really good job,” Dusk said surprised.
He began taking a closer look at the place. It all reminded him of the Royal guard quarters of Princess Platinum’s army of old from way back when.
“He even got the shields right,” Dusk said taking notice of the shine around the edge of the shields on the armor.
Princess Platinum would want her Royal Guards shields to shine the most like the white gold she represented.
“You like how the place looks?”
Dusk and Spike saw a Pegasus pony float down from the top of the ceiling. This Pegasus had a light yellow orange fur with dark blue mane and eyes. His Cutie Mark was showing a shield with a lightning bolt going through it.
“Ah, you must be Flash Sentry,” Dusk Shine said, “I actually do like the work it reminds me of a style used by Princess Platinum.”
“Ah you noticed!” Flash Sentry said excited, “Yeah I thought something flashy would do great for the celebration. Of course I had to get the right platinum and gold for the armor and decorations.”
“Ah yes of-.”
“I mean the Royal Guards of Princess Platinum always had to shine not just for show-.
(5 minutes later)
-with a material alloy that was suited against magical elements-
(10 minutes later)
-but then that method of fighting was suited for day not night,” Flash Sentry finished.
“zzz… snk wha-?” Dusk Shine awoke.
Dusk Shine had somehow stuck through that entire speech listening to Flash Sentry ramble on and on about the Royal Guard and their fighting style to defensive patters. Spike had fallen asleep on his back after the first minute.
“Oh yeah you uh… certainly like the Royal Guard,” Dusk Shine said trying to be polite.
“Oh definitely, it’s been a dream of mine to one become one of the members of the royal guard,” Flash Sentry said, “Oh sorry, I didn’t get your name.”
“Ah… yes I’m Dusk Shine, the official overseer for the Summer Sun Celebration.”
“Whoa wait! You’re that pony from Canterlot?” Flash Sentry asked, “Dude I know we just met, and you don’t know me that well, but you gotta hook me up.”
“Hook you… look I don’t know what you think I’m on but I assure you I’m clean.”
“No no no not that, I mean you think you could get in a good word for me back at the Royal guard?” Flash Sentry asked, “I keep applying but I keep getting turned down.”
“You want me to tell the royal guard to let you into the guard?” Dusk Shine questioned.
“You can do that can’t you? I high class pony with a job this important must have some connections on the inside, ” Flash Sentry asked excited.
“Oh uh… I don’t actually have that kind of connection,” Dusk Shine said.
“Mnn, but Dusk,” Spike said starting to wake up, “What about your broOPH!”
Dusk tilted his flank letting Spike painfully fall to the ground.
“Oh Spike is it time for your nap already? I’m sorry I need to go right now,” Dusk said.
He carried Spike with him and right to the door, before Flash Sentry could say another word (He got his mouth half open) Dusk slammed the door shut.
“Decorations are good moving on,” Dusk Shine said quickly, “Geeze that pony can talk.”
“So should we tell them about your brother?” Spike asked him.
“No! Absolutely not, I don’t need another fanpony clinging to me begging me ‘Hey can you introduce me to your brother’ in the most annoyingly high pitched voice. Why does he keep getting the mares anyway?” Dusk Shine complained.
“Weren’t you complaining about them?” Spike asked him.
“Forget it, what’s next on the list?” Dusk Shine grumbled.
“Well all that’s left is the music, a Unicorn named Neon Lights is working on that over at his… Night Club?” Spike read turning the check list a few times to see if he was reading it correctly.
“This place has a Night Club?” Dusk Shine questioned.
The two of them stood outside some club looking building that was clearly out of place with all the old time cottages around the area. This building looked more modern.
“It’s a giant garage,” Dusk Shine said, “And people just come here to dance?”
“You obviously haven’t been out enough,” Spike said.
“I have too, let’s just get this over with,” Dusk said turning the doorknob.
WWUUUUUUUUUUUUBBBBBBBB!!!
As soon as Dusk Shine turned the knob the blaring sound of music blasted out like the torrential wind of a tornado. Dusk Shine held on to the doorknob as he was blasted away while Spike held on the Dusk’s tail.
The two of them got to the ground and started fighting against the sound current. Dusk crawled on the ground keeping his footing while Spike held on to his tail.
Inside there was a Unicorn at a DJ table between two massive subwoofer boxes.
This Unicorn was a very light cyan blue with a black mane and three white stars as his cutie mark. He was also wearing a black button coat with a white tie, round sunglasses.
He seemed to not be bothered by the obscenely loud music as he was rocking his head to the beat.
Dusk Shine had managed to get in front of the pony and started yelling at him to stop the music but his voice couldn’t be heard.
“Hey dude! What’s up? Club’s not open till tomorrow night with the summer sun celebration,” the pony Neon Lights said.
Surprisingly he spoke in a normal indoor speaking voice but Dusk could easily hear each word he said. Dusk yelled as loud as he could yet he couldn’t even hear his own voice.
“Hold up let me get the tunes,” Neon Lights said.
He pressed a button on the table and the music immediately stopped.
“-OOOOOPP…. Playing that loud music,” Dusk finished.
“Hey we’re not open today. Summer Sun Celebration’s going to eat up my time,” Neon Lights told him.
“That’s (gasp) what I wanted to see you for, I’m Dusk Shine the official overseer for the Sumer Sun Celebration,” Dusk Shine said exhausted.
Dusk picked up Spike with his magic and sat him back on his back, the small dragon was near passing out from the loud music.
“Oh you’re the guy I was waiting for,” Neon Lights said, “Well I got the music set up like they asked.”
“That music? It was a hurricane with a voice, I hope you’re not planning to play that during the Summer Sun Celebration,” Dusk Shine told him.
“No no no I got it, I know what you hoity toitey folks wanted,” Neon Lights said.
Using his magic he removed a CD from his system and replaced it with another before pressing the play button.
“NO WAIT!” Dusk Shine braced himself for the storm.
It never came, the soft sound of violins and flutes filled the room softly.
“Oh man that’s much better,” Spike said rubbing his ears.
“Oh yes, that’ll do nicely for the Celebration,” Dusk Shine said.
“Man you’re like my friends room-mate,” Neon Lights said, “What was so bad about my music?”
“Well nothing except it was blasting me out of the room,” Dusk Shine told him.
“Seriously? Oh… maybe that’s why, hold up,” Neon Lights switched back the CD’s again and pressed the button.
“NO WAIT!” both Dusk and Spike readied themselves for the loud music.
It was the same first tune but this time it didn’t come out like wind. Dusk and Spike could feel their bodies shaking from the constant beat like they were on a massage chair.
“There we go that’s the sound I wanted, thanks man I was trying to figure out what the problem was,” Neon Light said.
“Aw yeah, this is my new jam,” Spike said suddenly dancing like at a rave.
“Right well… just to be clear you’re not going to be playing this at the party right?” Dusk Shine asked.
“No no I get it, I won’t get you in trouble with your superiors or such,” Neon Lights said.
“Okay well I suppose you know what you’re doing let’s go,” Dusk Shine said picking up Spike.
“Wait that was my jam!” Spike said.
“UGH This town is exhausting. I’ve wasted half the day, we are all going to be cast into eternal darkness and I’m wasting my time with all these ponies,” Dusk Shine said.
“I don’t know they weren’t bad to me, I’m definitely gonna stop by Neon’s club tomorrow night,” Spike said.
“We won’t be here tomorrow night, not if I have anything to say about it,” Dusk Shine said.
The two of them arrived at a large oak tree. The whole things had been hollowed out and turned into the town Library. Dusk Shine could see many of the things he had brought with him had been left outside.
“They didn’t even bring them in the house,” Dusk Shine said.
“Can’t you just lift them inside,” Spike asked him.
“Of course I can,” Dusk Shine said using his magic to levitate his items in, “It’s still unprofessional.”
The two of them walked inside the dark home, shelves all around filled with books and a set of stairs the led up to another room.
“Where are the lights in this place?” Dusk asked.
Lock!
Dusk and Spike suddenly heard a locking sound from the front door. The two of them turned to see a Pony wearing a poncho, cowboy hat, and rubber chicken riding on his back.
“Been waitin a long time fer you newcomer,” the strange yellow pony said in a cowboy like voice.
“Oh Celestia it’s you!” Dusk said in fear.
He immediately grabbing Spike and backed up as far as he could away from the pony.
“We were startin to think you wouldn’t show,” the yellow pony started walking toward both Dusk and Spike.
“Wait is that the crazy Pony you were talking about?” Spike questioned.
“Shush!” Dusk put his hoof over Spike’s mouth, “Look whoever you are I don’t want any trouble.”
“Oh it’s no trouble at all newcomer. After all yer the new pony livin here in Ponyville ain’t cha?”
“I-I’m just staying for the day!”
“That still counts as a new resident in my book. I’ll take any reason to do this.”
“What is ‘this’? What does ‘this’ mean?”
“Just one thing partner,” he said reaching into his poncho.
“Sweet Celestia no,” Dusk started freaking out.
“This is.”
“Nnngh.”
“A.”
“Just take what you want!”
“PARTY!”
“NNOO-huh?”
Click!
“SURPRISE!”
The lights suddenly turned on and dozens upon dozens of Ponies appeared all around the room which was now filled with party decorations and food.
The yellow pony had taken off his cowboy gear and was now wearing a simple yellow shirt. Dusk Shine got a look at his Cutie Mark which was a grilled cheese sandwich cut in half.
Dusk and Spike looked around and saw the banner that said welcome to Ponyville.
“Blegh,” Spike pushed Dusk’s hoof out of his face, “Oh man I think my life flashed before my eyes. Ooh is that punch?”
Spike scurried off forgetting the impending danger the thought they were in. The strange pony put the party hat he pulled out earlier and place it on Dusk Shine’s head.
“Welcome to Ponyville strange,” he said.
His voice didn’t sound like some outlaw, now it just sounded ‘weird’.
“Names Cheese Sandwich and boy have I been waitin for you to show up! This morning I was having a Cheesy sense telling me that a party was coming and this morning I saw you coming down and I just knew I had to throw you a welcoming party,” Cheese Sandwich said.
“All you were doing was throwing me a party!?” Dusk questioned annoyed and angry at the pony.
“Sure was,” Cheese Sandwich answered.
“You- I mean- you- you-… you stood in the dark alley way.”
“Yup.”
“Glared at me.”
“Yup.”
“Mouthed the words you were going to get me.”
“Yup.”
“All to throw me a party!?”
“Yup, I got a keen sense of telling when someone out there needs a party, and boy howdy were you a doozy. I could feel the loneliness coming from you a mile away,” Cheese Sandwich said.
“Yes well I-.” WUUUUUUBBB!!!
The blaring sound of a speaker came through the door. Neon Lights walked in with a speaker on wheels.
“Hey Dusk, I didn’t know you were movin in. Welcome to Pony Ville, great party again Cheese!” he called out walking and blaring music that everyone started dancing too.
“Thanks Neon, and thanks for the music,” Cheese Sandwich said.
“N-No wait-.”
“Hey you again.”
Dusk Shine looked up and saw Soarin with a few other Pegasus.
“Didn’t know you’d be staying here Canterlot Pony, trust me you made the right call,” Soarin said going back and mingling with a few other Pegasus.
“What!? No I-.”
“Hey Dusk.”
Once again Dusk saw Flash Sentry at the craft table holding half a cheese pizza in his mouth.
“Dude why didn’t you say you were moving in, I would have given you the tour,” he said, “Cheese, great job on the food again.”
“No prob Flash,” Cheese said.
“Can I finish my sent-.”
“Howdy yall.”
Big Macintosh walked in carrying a barrel of apple cider with a nozzle attached to the top.
“Oh, thanks Mac! Ya got time to party with us?” Cheese Sandwich asked.
“E’yup, work is done fer the day, family reunions over, I got time fer my friends now,” Big Macintosh said.
“Awesome,” Cheese said.
“Welcome to the town Dusk Shine,” Big Mac told him.
Cheese Sandwich took two large mugs and filled them to the brim.
“Anyway… as I was saying thank you for the party but I really-.”
“Ooh man Dusk, you gotta try this fondue!” Spike called out to him.
“sigh,” Dusk gave up.
He took the mug of cider Cheese offered and drank it.
“Ooh wait I think I gave you mine,” Cheese Sandwich said.
“What’s the difference?” Dusk Shine asked, “Oh now I get a sentence out.”
“Well I like to add a bit of blue cheese to give it that salty sweet taste.”
“You add Hrrgh!”
“No not Hrrgh blue cheese.”
Dusk Shines face started turning green. He immediately turned around and headed upstairs for the nearest bucket.
