Chapter 16: Lovely Birthdays

I swear I'm never going to doubt if Pinkie's good with parties ever again. I watched in awe as Ivory was grinning enormously thanks to the flavor of the cake. Reason why I was in awe was because the cake itself was huge! I just felt a tug on my shirt by Rainbow, who was smiling at my awe stricken face. I chuckled at myself and watched as Fretus started talking with Ivory. Ivory was a filly, green coat and yellow eyes, her mane was a darker green. Of coarse, she was a pegasus since Jacob was not like Fluttershy. I smiled as they bro-hoofed. Like father like son. Rainbow was talking with Fluttershy and Jacob. I walked over.

"... and I said, 'do you want to talk about it?' He said no, so I spiced the moment up by saying, 'are you sure? I could make you feel very safe,'" Jacob couldn't keep himself from laughing while Fluttershy just giggled. I didn't hear the last part, so I was confused.

"What?" I asked.

"We were just laughing at the fact that you had a conversation that's so much like Red vs Blue," Jacob said.

"It's Blue vs Red Jacob, don't get it backwards," I said. I loved the Blue team a lot more than the Red team.

"What's Red vs Bl-"

"BLUE VS RED."

"Alright, Blue vs Red?" Asked Rainbow.

"It's a series that started in a first person shooter game. It was made by a channel called Rooster Teeth," Jacob explained.

"Really? What happened in it?" Flutterrshy asked, getting curious.

"Well, at first, the two teams were just doing nothing. They were usually the most idiotic groups throughout their entire army. Then, after a few events, they became quite legendary. They were still idiots, but they were still good at fighting," I said answering the question. All three of them looked at me confused. "Okay, I could understand if Fluttershy and Rainbow could be confused. So, if Jacob's confused, then I didn't explain too well," I said. Jacob nods. "Sorry," I said smiling. Jacob explains what Blue vs Red is. Rainbow was very interested while Fluttershy was losing interest. I looked at Fretus to make sure he's still there. Like me, he has a potential to wonder around. He's still talking to Ivory. I smiled. I then saw a blur of a ball with the color orange and brown crashed onto a table. I jumped back surprised.

"Sorry every pony," said the little filly, who was chuckling nervously. My mind clicked and I smiled.

"It's okay, is your name Applecake by any chance?" The little filly nodded.

"Yes sir! Are you uncle Max?" I schook my head.

"Sorry, I'm not Max, I'm Sam," I said. Applecake sheepishly nodded. Applecake soon got over to Ivory and Fretus. I could quickly see that they started getting along quite well. I looked around for Pinkie and Max. I was surprised to not seeing them at first, because Pinkie was planning the party. I then saw, what was the most pink I've ever seen. A sound of a cannon bursts through the air. I instantly had a face full of streamers. I backed up, tripped and fell down. It surprised me, but it was kind of funny. I wiped the streamers from my face and started laughing. Max had gone over to help me.

"Sam are you alright?" He asked, worry and concern in his voice.

"Yeah," I said smiling.

"Sorry Sammy, I forgot that you're not used to cannons, especially my party cannon," Pinkie said stifling giggles. I got up, brushing off others streamers that were clinging onto my leg. Rainbow was on the floor, Fretus was laughing, Ivory was shocked, yet she started laughing as well. Applecake was giggling at me, Applejack, who was following Pinkie had rolled her eyes, Joe was chuckling, Fluttershy had become a sticker, clinging onto a laughing Jacob. I looked around to see Cheerilee, who was smiling. I tilted my head. I didn't know Cherilee knew Fluttershy. Jacob went over, greeting her, and I just went to sit in a chair, watching. I didn't go out to talk to anyone because I didn't see anyone one of my friends other than Jacob, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Max, and Pinkie. I then remember something hitting me in the head.

"Ooooowww, my head," I said, feeling like I had been hit by a rhino.

"Oops, sorry Sam!" Said a voice I could never say I forget.

"It's alright Joe, but did you really have to hit me with a shovel?" I asked, trying my best not to yell.

"I thought you had a spider on your face!" Joe said sheepishly smiling.

"You thought you saw a multi-colored spider on my face? That, and why did you still use a shovel?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Says the person with a multi-colored wife," Joe said smirking, completely ignoring my shovel questions.

"Eh, I guess you got me there," I said. Rainbow came up to me.

"Alright Sam, come on," she said, dragging me.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you're going to tell some of us what happened when you got to Equestria," she answered. "I told them about our conversation one night," she quickly explained. "I also remembered that none of us exactly knew what happened to you and the other humans before you got to this place," she added. I was sat down in front of seven people and ponies. I sighed and thought back.

A very long time ago...

"Hey guys! What's up?" I asked as I let my friends into my home. It was kind of nice, it had six rooms and one hallway. A bathroom, living room, parents room, me and my sister's room, back room, and kitchen. It was small, but very friendly.

"Hey Sam, we need some help with a project," Max said. He had a worried look.

"What kind of project?" I asked concerned. These guys don't have good ideas most of the time, but either Tom or I straighten them out. Seeing that Tom had a worried face, it's my turn this time.

"Well, it's kind of for our job interviews for tomorrow. There's a building at West Flint Avenue, and we need some help getting something," Tom said.

"So where do I fit in?" I asked.

"Well, we need some expertise on explosives," Max said. I perked up.

"Okay, guys, as much as I want to handle something that could blow up, I think whatever the hell you're doing is illegal," I said.

"You're in with us too you know," Tom said.

"Ugh, fine, but I am not going to prison because we did something bad!" I said. They nodded.

"Alright, so we're supposed to test out an explosive at Flint Avenue, but none of us are experts at stuff like this, so we need you to handle said explosive," Henry said. I rolled my eyes.

"What level explosives are these?" I asked. They looked around.

"Nuclear. Well, mini nuclear anyway, it's supposed to explode in a 10 meter radius," said Max. "They only told us what it is, they didn't tell us how to use it," he explained. I nodded.

"Alright, I'll give it a go, but we will need to make sure that no one gets hurt," I said sternly. They all nodded and led me to the test site. I looked at the abandoned building. It was some sort of abandoned school house. I looked at the rocket launcher. It looks like the kind of launcher I saw while playing Gmod once, it was fun. It had the physics of an RPG, except the rocket on the end had a radiation symbol on the end. If it was bigger, it would look like a bomb that could blow up the world. I got my hand on it and saw instantly how it worked. The trigger was at the very end of it, close the the bomb itself. I put the butt of it on my shoulder, aiming the rocket at the building.

"How fast does it launch?" I asked.

"About 50 mph," Tom said. I corrected my aim and fired. I was flown back as the building was exploded into bits. Bits of cash was flying everywhere and they were inflamed. We all stared in silence. Police cars pulled in, some cops have pistols and were shouting for us to stand down. What did we just do? I asked myself. I then saw blackness. I woke up, groaning. My head hurt, and we were in a cell. Max was across from me. Tom was next to me as well. The others were in the cell next to us. A deep voice barked at us.

"Alright terrorists, get the fuck up!" Yelled a warrant officer. I trembled. What had happened? Me and the others were pushed into a room. It was a court room. I was shaking terribly.

"Alright, session in court! What is the crime?" Yelled the judge glaring at us.

"They were firing illegal explosives at stolen contraband," said a voice that made Max enraged.

"Illegal?!" yelled Max as his face became red.

"ORDER!!! What does these six have to say?" Asked the judge.

"THAT BITCH HIRED US!!!" Yelled Max, pointing at the man with a snake-like smile.

"Do you have proof?" Asked the judge, tapping his finger.

"Yes we do! My resume says so!" Yelled Max, as he began to calm down.

"Can you present it?" Asked the judge.

"Well, no, it's not wi-"

"Then there is no proof, now court is ended," said the judge. Max stared at him dumbfounded. We were then taken out and into a van, we were told to stay put.

"Ugh, I can't believe it!" Max yelled. Joe and Henry sighed, I was growling, Tom was quiet. Jacob was in deep thought, trying to register what just happened.

"Believe it Max, this is our world isn't it? I mean, seriously, a lot of people are corrupted, due to the war that's going on," Tom said, breaking his silent streak.

"I know, but can't we have better judges, I mean seriously what the hell!?" Max said. Tom sighed.

"We can't do anything now," he said.

The present...

"So that's what happened..." Rainbow said, having a regretful look.

"Yeah, I honeslty don't ever want to go back ever again," I said. Joe, Jacob, and Max nodded in agreement.

"I didn't know my Maxy could even cuss!" Pinkie said.

"Well, I don't do it anymore, because I'm not ticked off," Max said. I nodded and then Pinkie got out a pinata from her mane. I didn't question it, due to the fact that I have indeed seen weirder things pulled out from there before. Rainbow tugged on my shirt and I looked at her.

"Sorry for asking," Rainbow said. I nodded, signaling it was okay. I had fun at the party, I think Fretus, Ivory, and Applecake had fun too. When we went home, Fretus was telling me all about the conversation, fun, and games they had. It was soon time to go to bed, and we all said good night before falling into the deep world of sleep.
