Friendship Was Magic...by The_Black_KnightChaptersEvery ship is Bound to sinkCrash and burnBite off more than you can chewEvery ship is Bound to sinkEver since Twilight's first day in Ponyville she has always been accompanied by her friends. Day in and day out, Through every stormy night in the vast seas of hardships she has always had help from her friends. But its always seemed too perfect of a friendship to span 8 years with the occasional argument over something simple or meaningless. Never did her and her friends want to say ' we are no longer friends' rather they always worked out there disagreement. Today Rainbow dash has become the Wonderbolt she's wanted be, Rarity is in the top of the fashion market making every pony want her dresses and everyone knows her name. Fluttershy is now the Proud owner of an Animal Hospital in Ponyville, and she enjoys seeing new critters to help. Pinkie pie is still the same crazy party animal she is(No Pun Intended) and she still waits for the day Twilight comes back. Lastly Applejack is still the same hard working and honest ponies go to for help. Now she is famous for her famous apple cider which she has a relative in manhattan use a factory to produce the cider. Applejack still has the recipe and only her relative knows it. Now for 5 years Twilight has been in Canterlot with her mentor Princess Celestia. And she has gotten back into the habit of having her head in a book 24/7. But something has been worrying her, For the first few months since she moved back into Canterlot, Twilight has always wondered if her friends would forget her and move on to find another friend to replace her. This caused her to worry franticly every night until Spike told her that her friends meant everything to her, after a while that dilemma was put in the back of her head to nag her when she was having restless nights. Now she is in the middle of another one of Celestia's famous teachings about Alicorn magic,and how Star Swirl The Bearded created the first arts of magic. Twilight waited till her lesson was over to ask her Teacher a question. Something Celestia would never really expect. "Princess Celestia May I ask a question?" She answers."Go ahead Twilight." She asks." Princess i've been here for 5 years and I miss my friends, and I've always worried if they would move on and forget me. Do you think that my friends miss me so much they would leave me, Would they forget about me?" Celestia frowns a bit." Twilight what kind of question is that?! Twilight you should know that your friends are loyal, they would never leave you. In fact I'm sure that Pinkie Pie is holding a welcome back party for you. Perhaps you should take a train down to ponyville to visit with them. And don't worry about your studies, you need a break from all of those years of studying and hard work." Twilight's eyes shine a little," Really! I'll be on my way then. I'll see you within a few weeks maybe." Celestia responds." take as long as you need Twilight." "Thank you so much Princess." She says in her happiness. That afternoon Twilight spends her day to packing some of her things and planning what she would do with her friends. Twilight would figure that Celestia is right and Pinkie would throw a party. The next day she would plan to get coffee with her friends and having pinkie get decaf because Celestia knows what would happen if Pinkie had caffeine. After a few days of getting back in Ponyville, and time to herself. Then she would invite her friends over for game night. The week following that they would watch Rainbow Dash in her next show and go out to the hay-burger joint to have a casual dinner. After all of her planning she decides to eat dinner and head to bed. She had a feeling tomorrow was going to be great. The next morning she shot up from her bed in 5 in the morning before Celestia could even raise the sun. She gathered her things and Spike and made her way to the train station. She got on her train and takes her seat as it leaves at 6:30am. For the next 3 hours Twilight's alacrity raises higher and higher as the train gets closer. She remembers her first trip to Ponyville and how she despised it, now she couldn't be any happier. As the train came to its halt to its destination she trots off the train. She noticed that ponyville has changed for better and worse. The town had become more modernized with concrete buildings, asphalt roads, and the occasional tree, with the smell of tar and oil filled the air around her. after walking around for a bit she comes across The Golden Oak library. Rather then it being a burned tree it was now a small grey stone structure with blue glass panes and glass doors. At first she didn't like it because its not the same one she was treated to in her first visit. But its the same place where she hibernated in her books and had parties. This is where she was greeted by a surprise party made by the one and only Pinkie Pie. "SURPISE TWILIGHT" Every pony screamed as their favorite lavender friend entered the building, there was music, drinks, games, and what she waited for. Her friends. At first Twilight was jumped by the scream but later walked in and gave her friends a hug and thanked them for coming and being her friend. As relentless hours of partying had gone, once the party came to and end and. From playing games, to talking, to having a few drinks of punch. and having to clean the mess the party left she had now laid down in the bed. Now from looking in the inside of the building twilight had noticed that the hard wood floor was replaced a tan carpet with a brown rug in the middle. The bookshelves had been made from a slightly reddish brown cherry wood. With a finish giving it its shine, the candles were replaced by light bulbs and lamps, there was also a little ladder to move up to the second floor which was just a balcony to hold more books or to reach a book that was out of hooves reach. And now there were way more books added giving Twilight time to spend the books spanned from Las Pegasus to Japon to Canterlot, to Manehattan. Twilight would enjoy this new collation of books. Another thing that would keep her busy is in the back of the building there is a small room fill of draws with letters From A-Z and each draw had a letter and inside each Drawrs had a index cards full of a data on a topic and could lead a pony to a book if he or she ever needed one. This is what ponies called a database(or before google existed) With her new library she still felt something was missing. she knew this would never replace the old now because her beloved memories were lost her fight with Terick. But she would have to make do with what she had. She spent her day walking around the new Ponyville and noticed that ponies seem more grumpy and not as 'hi how are you' or 'good morning so and so'. Rather they kept to themselves, she also noticed that bit prices have gone up, now a pound of apples would cost 25 bits rather then 5 and now there was the new invention of the house phone in Equrestia. She recalls having one near her bed, and she remembers having a radio that would broadcast the news or play music, or if there was an emergency. Now she could call her friends on a whim and ask if they wanted to hang out or listen to the news to stay on top of things around the world. Now with a phone she could call a pony that had an over due book plus there was a monthly bill for phone usage. Another new thing is that over due books had a 5 bit fee and an extra 1 bit for the amount of weeks its been overdue. After an afternoon of walking around in Ponyville twilight finds herself back in her new library and makes her way to the bedroom. The bedroom was rather small. with only a twin sized bed with brown bedsheets and a large tan quilt, a wooden table with a lamp on it. a bookshelf full of record books to keep track of borrowed books and the librarians personal books. there was also a leather sofa with the smell of leather filling the room. On the night stand was a phone book, a phone and a radio. The walls were painted a coffee brown and lastly there was an oil painting of the old Ponyville in the view of Canterlot in the sunset. Twilight looked at the painting and sighed as she grabbed a book and laid in bed. While in the middle of her book she fell asleep. and into the dream world The next morning she woke up around 6:00am as usual and trotted her way to the coffee shop where she would meet her friends. She entered the building at around 7:30am with the bell ringing. "Morning Miss how can I help you." said a brown earth pony stallion wearing an apron with a scoop full of coffee beans for a cutie mark "I'd like a normal coffee, 2 scoops of sugar and milk please." Twilight replied "Coming right up Ma'am," He made the cup of coffee as she asked"that'll be 15 bits please." he asked "15 Bits for a cup of coffee! thats insane, last time i was here it was 3 bits. But fine here's your change" She handed him the change and she sat down and listened to the shops jazz music playing. She sank her head back into the couch and relax listen to each note in cadence with the drumbeat. She could smell fresh coffee being grounded, and being blended and pressed to perfection. The blissful event had to come to a halt when her friends arrived. When they arrived 15 minutes later around 7:50am. Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie pie enterd the shop and got their coffee with Pinkie getting decaf, Rarity getting expresso, Fluttershy getting green tea and Applejack getting normal black coffee. They all sat down and said hello "Where's Rainbow Dash? She did say she was going to be here.? Rarity spoke up" Oh Rainbow dash did mention that she has early morning practice from 8 in the morning till 1 in the Afternoon. Plus Rainbow is starting to have a habit of being late. or just not showing up at all" they all laughed a little "Oh I see, thats fine we'll see her later then at some point." Replied Twilight as she sipped her now cooled down coffee. "Its been so long since i've seen you girls, how have you all been" she asked Fluttershy opened up" I now own an animal hospital. And i'm doing good." Rarity spoke next" My designs are to die for in all of Equrestia. Life is great." Applejack followed" My farm is now famous for its Apple cider. I feel good about my business and myself." Lastly pinkie spoke up" I'm still the same crazy party pony. What about you Twilight how are you doing?" "Well i've still have the same boring life of studying under Princess Celestia and being a bookworm, so nothing hasn't really changed." She giggled to herself as she took a sip of coffee. The coffee social lasted till 9am" Oh um look at the time i have to get to work, I can't leave those poor critters alone. I'll see you girls later." said Fluttershy as she leaves "She's right i have to get to work as well" Followed Rarity, then Applejack, and lastly with Pinkie "Well i guess i have work to do as well" Twilight galloped back to the Golden Oak Library to start her day off back in Ponyville, With a smile on her face. Crash and burnTwilight's first few days back in ponyville have been a great to her. And tonight was going to be game night with her friends. So around 3 in the afternoon Twilight skimmed through the database area" Come on where is the Entertainment section. It has to be where the E's are, who ever was here last surely did a bad job in organizing. surely it has to be around here. SPIKE did you find anything yet." "Yes I didTwilight its right here in the books for dummies section" Said Spike as Twilight picked up the book. "Parties, game nights sleepovers and all-nighters for dummies. Should of asked if Pinkie had this book." she starts to read the book. " The first thing about throwing a Game Night is to invite all of your friends, Two get plenty of snacks, depending on how long it'll take you should at least have 5 bags of chips, 3 jars of any dip, at least 6 pounds of candy and 6; 2 liter bottles of soda, 3 choose a few games. Pick any game you'd like but don't bring Chess, that game takes too long for 1 move. I would say Bring Uno, Sorry, Monopoly, a deck of poker cards, 4 if you are feeling bored turn off all the lights and tell ghosts stories. if you don't know any then go read ghost stories for dummies. Lastly don't be the odd one out, have some fun and make new friends." "Well that seems simple enough, come on spike we're going shopping" "Fine" Spike says with apathy toward Twilight's idea The two head out to the ponyville town market square. Twilight first goes to the candy shop to pick up her 6 pounds of candy. She is Greeted by a Blue unicorn with a fuzzy pink mane like Pinkie's and she has a ball of Cotton Candy for a cutie mark. "Hello there I am Cotton Candy, how may I help you. We have just about every kind of candy you can think of and its only 6 bits per pound of candy. So pick you poison." "Thank you Miss candy I just need 8 pounds of candy, I would like to get 2 pounds of jelly beans, 1 pound of taffy, 1 pound of your chocolate treat variety. 3 pounds of sour bacon candy, and 1 pound of skittles. That is all thank you, so I will give you your 48 bits-" "It's 50 bits" said Cotton cutting of Twilight "WHAT! 50 you said it was 6 bits a pound. since I have 8 pounds of candy that should be 48 bits, not 50" replied Twilight Cotton follows with"well you have to accommodate for taxes as well so its 0.0416 extra bits for every 1 bit" Twilight sighed" Why did Celestia have to invent a tax system, here's your 50! bits" She hands over the change as Cotton puts it all in one bag.Twilight walks out the story with her candy which spike is holding the bag. the next stop was to the Game shop where you can return games and get 1 bit back. She enters and green earth pony with a small beard greets here "Good evening ma'am and welcome to game shop how can I help you. my name is game-pon" " I'm just looking for a few board games and 2 card games so I'm fine thank you sir" She goes around the small game shop and looks for her games. After a small search she finds most of her games except the poker cards" Um game-pon I can't find a deck of poker cards, do you know where they are?" He replies "Oh they're in the back I'll be right back. But would you like Applelosa hold'em, Strip Poker or Normal Poker?" "Normal poker is fine just get them I really don't have much time" She says as he walks out and brings a small red box full of the 54 poker cards "That'll be 25 bits please." "Alright here is you change sir" she hands him the change and spike walks out with the bag full of games "Alright next stop is the soda shop and then we will be done Spike, I'll make sure to get you a ruby for your assistance when we're done" she walks into the soda shop to be greeted by a green pegaues stallion with a yellow mane and a lemon and lime with a few bubbles for a cutie mark. "Hello there i'm Soda Pop how can i help you" He says as he walks to the front counter getting ready to start her order"its 4 bits every liter of soda" He adds "Okay i need 6, 2 liter bottles of soda. i would like one bottle full of Root Beer, one full of Sprite, one full of Coke, one full of Dr.Pepper, one full of Cream Soda and the last one full of Ginger Ale." she finishes as she hands him his 50 bits" have a nice day Sir." she says as she walks out the door holding the six bottles with her magic. "Bye have a great night ma'am" Says Soda Pop as Twilight walks out the store Next she goes to a white unicorn with a red mane "yes hello i'd like 5 bags of chips and a jar of salsa, cheese and sour cream." He replies" That'll be 15 bits." she pays him the money and make her way out. "Alright Spike we have everything we need and Pinkie Pie said lets have game night at her place so lets be on our way." Twilight trots to Pinkie's Apartment where she meets up with the rest of her friends except Rainbow Dash who seems to be absent again." Does Rainbow have late night practices now?" Twilight giggled to herself and sat herself and the soda down with Spike putting every thing on the ground panting for air. "Should we just start without Rainbow, I mean she is going to be here late anyways so there is no point in waiting, am I right." Said twilight "Yeahh you're right there really is no point in waiting anyways so what should we play first." Replied Pinkie. "Well we can play Uno or Sorry or Monopoly." Said Twilight "Lets start with Uno its a simple enough game for Anypony" Said Rarity Twilight pulled out the Uno cards shuffles them as if she was a Blackjack dealer at a Las Pegasus Casino and serves everyone 7 cards and Twilight makes her first move." I'll play red 4." "I play red 6." Said Applejack "Then I will play Blue six" Said Pinkie with her Poker Face "I um play wild care and um pick yellow" She finishes as Applejack and Rarity groan to drawn cards till they get a yellow card. This cycle goes on for an hour or so and suddenly in the middle of one of Applejacks horror story the door opens up to revel rainbow dash and her athletic friend Cotton Dash. Cotton Dash was a brown pegasus stallion with a white puffy mane and a cloud for a cutie mark, her eyes were a burning shade of fire blue with a small scar on her forehead that shows she was hit by a baseball as a colt plus he has a slight country accent in his voice. As the walks in the first thing she says is "Move out of my way. I don't want to see that old booty crack in my face" Toward Fluttershy and Immediately following of her friends stand up and give him a death glare" What its true why don't you Mules just calm down and take a chill pill god." Rainbow states" Just relax he tends to be a bit of a sexist and a racist at times. just deal with it." Just before Rarity was about to berate Rainbow and her friend Twilight cuts her off by saying "So Cotton Dash what do you do for a living" He scoffs"Why would you care. You mares should be in the Kitchen, Not worrying about Sports and crap." Twilight grins in anger a little"I'll have you know my Brother played Hoofball and Baseball in high school so yes I do care." He simply replies"So what, do I care if he's played those. I bet I could play better then him anyway cause I don't have to worry about having an ugly Sister with an ugly booty crack anyway." Twilight takes a deep breath" Rainbow can you ask your friend to leave?" Rainbow replies"Why should I? He seems fine where he is" Twilight's temper has just broke" WHY SHOULD YOU? WHY THE F**K SHOULD YOU? Because you're friend here is being a total jerk and you arrived here late like it was no big deal. and you're asking me why. You know maybe there is a reason why I hate ponies from the south. They are just sexist, Racist arrogant ponies that think they know it all and they think they are all of that and a bag of chips. Do you think I enjoy spending time with Applejack. No! Because she always has to cut in my sentence and correct me. So Rainbow can you and your friend just shut up and leave if you don't like it. You have just done the sin of killing a songbird(meaning you've done wrong to someone who's done no wrong to you) and to think you were a loyal friend Rainbow Dash. To think you would have some heart for a Somepony that you haven't seen in 5 years. Just don't even talk to me I don't have time to hear your excuses anymore. You've had one too many freebies.." Rainbow replies"Wow some pony is offended come on cotton lets not waste out time with these dweebs." Rainbow and Cotton leave the room. Applejack Speaks up" What did you say about me and my family a group of quote 'Sexist, Racist, Arrogant Ponies that think they know it all and they think they are all of that and a bag of chip. 'If you came here to insult me and Stereotype me then count me out." Applejack also leaves Twilight cries a little" I'm sorry girls i'll just leave.... Come on Spike lets go" She leaves the apartment walks walks back in the city streets in the dark just as it starts to rain. "gee thanks Luna do you want to throw something else at me." She sighs as she makes the long lonely walk home as a tsunami of emotions flood her from guilt, sadness, anger and failure hit her home," Maybe not all friendships are meant to last.. Maybe rainbow will find it in her to forgive me and so I can forgive her as well. Maybe i'm over thinking this Spike take a letter. And i'm sorry but you won't get that ruby I promised, maybe you can go to rarity's to go get one yourself tomorrow." Dear Princess Celestia today I learned that some friendships can't stay afloat in the vast seas of emotions and social life forever. You can patch the hole in the the ship but that only works and patches are easy to break, and trying to rebuild it, is another thing it will never be the same no matter what you do to it. So I will leave on the end note that Friendships are more then just Magic. She makes it to her bed and she cries for a few minutes before falling asleep."I'm sorry Rainbow Dash, I'm sorry Applejack" (And thats how she lost two of her friends) Bite off more than you can chew(Waring this has very minor sexual content but disclaimer) "Surely they can forgive me, I mean we are all close friends. And i just got mad at one pony who was being really mean anyways" Says Twilight as she paces back and forth just a spike burps out a letter from the princess. The letter reads Dear Twilight Sparkle I understand what's going on and I want you to know that everything will work. Remember you and your friends have been through thick and thin and have over came everything in your path. To say a simple disagreement that would ruin a friendship is a little far fetched. Next time learn to control your anger and remain calm. Your Personal teacher Princess Celstia "She's right things will work out. Maybe not today but maybe next week." Said Twilight in relief. For the next few hours Twilight worked in the Library and filled out orders for books that ponies have requested, while calling fellow libraries to see if they held a book a pony needed. And she also spent her calls calling ponies with over due books and telling them to return it as soon as possible and telling them how much the overdue fee was. "Ugh so this is what work feels like. Not as exciting, but at least we get to see Rainbow Dash's Show tonight With my friends" Twilight sighed in some relief that something can come good could happen despite the scene she made a few days ago. Her hopes were raised again and this time she would try and not yell and remain calm. But then the thought of coming across Cotton Dash crossed her mind. Granted she did not want to strangle him in 10 different ways with her magic. She did want to say sorry and attempt to make peace with her. She thought of Cotton Dash as a pony who was unloved and not cared for. So to Twilight he was simply neglected as a colt trying to get recognition from the world around him and now, as a grown stallion he does nothing but leach on to ponies and seek their attention. "Spike i'm closing shop and going out and I trust you to stay back, don't burn the place down now. See you later Spike." She waved her assistant goodbye and left with Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy. Applejack had to stay back and do her work, and since that scene Twilight made. AppleJack wants nothing to do with her. So she was fine staying home. As for Twilight i would of been nice for her to see Applejack, after all she could say she was sorry. But she knew it would be best to leave some ponies to their own aggressions and move on. If she wanted to make peace with her then she could. But she moved on and made her way to the Hoofball Stadium to watch the Titans and the Scouts Play. With the Scouts being Shining Armor's Favorite Team EHL(Equrestian Hoofball League). Rainbow's Wonderbolt show is the planned half time show, Followed by the Ponyville Marching Band. Being one of the few Scouts fans in Ponyville Twilight kept to herself. They got in their seat which was somewhere near the front row and behind the Titan's Field goal, and watched the games with her friends in peace. And by some odd coincidence she found herself in front of Cotton Dash. She Turned to face the Stallion "Hey look! It's the butt her big booty cheeked Mule and her gay friends. What's a Scouts fan doing here anyway, you'd ought a know that the scouts suck right now knowing they are 7-24 and having a gay Quarterback who can't even throw." Said Cotton Dash in his arrogant voice. In anger Pinkie Blurted"Hey! The Titans could of gone to the Ponybowl but they were not only caught watching other teams pratice but they deflated their ball so they could win!" "So you're team still sucks donkey balls why should I care" Rarity Speaks up"For a pony who finds sports like this to be crude and uncouth we only came here to support our friend Rainbow Dash, if you can't handle that then you may leave here at once" "Kiss my ass" He replies Pinkie replies"You're not worth our time anyways." They all turn around and ignore him. Through out the first two quarters of the game he continued on making either an annoying whistle noise or make a yiff noise to provoke them "Just ignore him, if we do that we deprive him of his joy." Whispered Twilight As the second quarter ended a rainbow smoke come from the heavens and shot down into the earth along with a few other ponies and the Wonderbolts started their show with heavy rock playing in the background and fireworks exploding into the skies like cannon fire. And out from the smoke came Equrestia's favorite blue pegasus, Rainbow Dash. She went out at top speed and performed barrel rolls, loop de loops in cadence with the other Wonder bolts. Without Twilight or her friends noticing Cotton Dash gets his crotch area above Twilight's head and starts doing squats. When Twilight noticed she got up and wanted to strangle but she did not. "Look I don't know what you're problem is, I could strangle you but that would just make me Princess Twilight look bad. come on girls we don't need to deal with this." They walk off without saying another word and make their way to the hay burger shop.
Every ship is Bound to sinkEver since Twilight's first day in Ponyville she has always been accompanied by her friends. Day in and day out, Through every stormy night in the vast seas of hardships she has always had help from her friends. But its always seemed too perfect of a friendship to span 8 years with the occasional argument over something simple or meaningless. Never did her and her friends want to say ' we are no longer friends' rather they always worked out there disagreement. Today Rainbow dash has become the Wonderbolt she's wanted be, Rarity is in the top of the fashion market making every pony want her dresses and everyone knows her name. Fluttershy is now the Proud owner of an Animal Hospital in Ponyville, and she enjoys seeing new critters to help. Pinkie pie is still the same crazy party animal she is(No Pun Intended) and she still waits for the day Twilight comes back. Lastly Applejack is still the same hard working and honest ponies go to for help. Now she is famous for her famous apple cider which she has a relative in manhattan use a factory to produce the cider. Applejack still has the recipe and only her relative knows it. Now for 5 years Twilight has been in Canterlot with her mentor Princess Celestia. And she has gotten back into the habit of having her head in a book 24/7. But something has been worrying her, For the first few months since she moved back into Canterlot, Twilight has always wondered if her friends would forget her and move on to find another friend to replace her.

Twilight's eyes shine a little," Really! I'll be on my way then. I'll see you within a few weeks maybe." Celestia responds." take as long as you need Twilight." "Thank you so much Princess." She says in her happiness. That afternoon Twilight spends her day to packing some of her things and planning what she would do with her friends. Twilight would figure that Celestia is right and Pinkie would throw a party. The next day she would plan to get coffee with her friends and having pinkie get decaf because Celestia knows what would happen if Pinkie had caffeine. After a few days of getting back in Ponyville, and time to herself. Then she would invite her friends over for game night. The week following that they would watch Rainbow Dash in her next show and go out to the hay-burger joint to have a casual dinner. After all of her planning she decides to eat dinner and head to bed.

Now from looking in the inside of the building twilight had noticed that the hard wood floor was replaced a tan carpet with a brown rug in the middle. The bookshelves had been made from a slightly reddish brown cherry wood. With a finish giving it its shine, the candles were replaced by light bulbs and lamps, there was also a little ladder to move up to the second floor which was just a balcony to hold more books or to reach a book that was out of hooves reach. And now there were way more books added giving Twilight time to spend the books spanned from Las Pegasus to Japon to Canterlot, to Manehattan. Twilight would enjoy this new collation of books. Another thing that would keep her busy is in the back of the building there is a small room fill of draws with letters From A-Z and each draw had a letter and inside each Drawrs had a index cards full of a data on a topic and could lead a pony to a book if he or she ever needed one. This is what ponies called a database(or before google existed) With her new library she still felt something was missing. she knew this would never replace the old now because her beloved memories were lost her fight with Terick. But she would have to make do with what she had. She spent her day walking around the new Ponyville and noticed that ponies seem more grumpy and not as 'hi how are you' or 'good morning so and so'.

She recalls having one near her bed, and she remembers having a radio that would broadcast the news or play music, or if there was an emergency. Now she could call her friends on a whim and ask if they wanted to hang out or listen to the news to stay on top of things around the world. Now with a phone she could call a pony that had an over due book plus there was a monthly bill for phone usage. Another new thing is that over due books had a 5 bit fee and an extra 1 bit for the amount of weeks its been overdue. After an afternoon of walking around in Ponyville twilight finds herself back in her new library and makes her way to the bedroom. The bedroom was rather small. with only a twin sized bed with brown bedsheets and a large tan quilt, a wooden table with a lamp on it. a bookshelf full of record books to keep track of borrowed books and the librarians personal books. there was also a leather sofa with the smell of leather filling the room. On the night stand was a phone book, a phone and a radio. The walls were painted a coffee brown and lastly there was an oil painting of the old Ponyville in the view of Canterlot in the sunset. Twilight looked at the painting and sighed as she grabbed a book and laid in bed. While in the middle of her book she fell asleep. and into the dream world The next morning she woke up around 6:00am as usual and trotted her way to the coffee shop where she would meet her friends. She entered the building at around 7:30am with the bell ringing. "Morning Miss how can I help you." said a brown earth pony stallion wearing an apron with a scoop full of coffee beans for a cutie mark "I'd like a normal coffee, 2 scoops of sugar and milk please." Twilight replied "Coming right up Ma'am," He made the cup of coffee as she asked"that'll be 15 bits please." he asked "15 Bits for a cup of coffee! thats insane, last time i was here it was 3 bits. But fine here's your change" She handed him the change and she sat down and listened to the shops jazz music playing. She sank her head back into the couch and relax listen to each note in cadence with the drumbeat. She could smell fresh coffee being grounded, and being blended and pressed to perfection. The blissful event had to come to a halt when her friends arrived. When they arrived 15 minutes later around 7:50am. Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie pie enterd the shop and got their coffee with Pinkie getting decaf, Rarity getting expresso, Fluttershy getting green tea and Applejack getting normal black coffee. They all sat down and said hello "Where's Rainbow Dash? She did say she was going to be here.? Rarity spoke up" Oh Rainbow dash did mention that she has early morning practice from 8 in the morning till 1 in the Afternoon. Plus Rainbow is starting to have a habit of being late. or just not showing up at all" they all laughed a little "Oh I see, thats fine we'll see her later then at some point." Replied Twilight as she sipped her now cooled down coffee. "Its been so long since i've seen you girls, how have you all been" she asked Fluttershy opened up" I now own an animal hospital. And i'm doing good." Rarity spoke next" My designs are to die for in all of Equrestia. Life is great." Applejack followed" My farm is now famous for its Apple cider. I feel good about my business and myself." Lastly pinkie spoke up" I'm still the same crazy party pony. What about you Twilight how are you doing?" "Well i've still have the same boring life of studying under Princess Celestia and being a bookworm, so nothing hasn't really changed." She giggled to herself as she took a sip of coffee. The coffee social lasted till 9am" Oh um look at the time i have to get to work, I can't leave those poor critters alone. I'll see you girls later." said Fluttershy as she leaves "She's right i have to get to work as well" Followed Rarity, then Applejack, and lastly with Pinkie "Well i guess i have work to do as well" Twilight galloped back to the Golden Oak Library to start her day off back in Ponyville, With a smile on her face.
Crash and burnTwilight's first few days back in ponyville have been a great to her. And tonight was going to be game night with her friends. So around 3 in the afternoon Twilight skimmed through the database area" Come on where is the Entertainment section. It has to be where the E's are, who ever was here last surely did a bad job in organizing. surely it has to be around here. SPIKE did you find anything yet." "Yes I didTwilight its right here in the books for dummies section" Said Spike as Twilight picked up the book. "Parties, game nights sleepovers and all-nighters for dummies. Should of asked if Pinkie had this book." she starts to read the book. " The first thing about throwing a Game Night is to invite all of your friends, Two get plenty of snacks, depending on how long it'll take you should at least have 5 bags of chips, 3 jars of any dip, at least 6 pounds of candy and 6; 2 liter bottles of soda, 3 choose a few games. Pick any game you'd like but don't bring Chess, that game takes too long for 1 move. I would say Bring Uno, Sorry, Monopoly, a deck of poker cards, 4 if you are feeling bored turn off all the lights and tell ghosts stories. if you don't know any then go read ghost stories for dummies. Lastly don't be the odd one out, have some fun and make new friends." "Well that seems simple enough, come on spike we're going shopping" "Fine" Spike says with apathy toward Twilight's idea The two head out to the ponyville town market square. Twilight first goes to the candy shop to pick up her 6 pounds of candy. She is Greeted by a Blue unicorn with a fuzzy pink mane like Pinkie's and she has a ball of Cotton Candy for a cutie mark. "Hello there I am Cotton Candy, how may I help you. We have just about every kind of candy you can think of and its only 6 bits per pound of candy. So pick you poison." "Thank you Miss candy I just need 8 pounds of candy, I would like to get 2 pounds of jelly beans, 1 pound of taffy, 1 pound of your chocolate treat variety. 3 pounds of sour bacon candy, and 1 pound of skittles. That is all thank you, so I will give you your 48 bits-" "It's 50 bits" said Cotton cutting of Twilight "WHAT! 50 you said it was 6 bits a pound. since I have 8 pounds of candy that should be 48 bits, not 50" replied Twilight Cotton follows with"well you have to accommodate for taxes as well so its 0.0416 extra bits for every 1 bit" Twilight sighed" Why did Celestia have to invent a tax system, here's your 50! bits" She hands over the change as Cotton puts it all in one bag.Twilight walks out the story with her candy which spike is holding the bag. the next stop was to the Game shop where you can return games and get 1 bit back. She enters and green earth pony with a small beard greets here "Good evening ma'am and welcome to game shop how can I help you. my name is game-pon" " I'm just looking for a few board games and 2 card games so I'm fine thank you sir" She goes around the small game shop and looks for her games. After a small search she finds most of her games except the poker cards" Um game-pon I can't find a deck of poker cards, do you know where they are?" He replies "Oh they're in the back I'll be right back. But would you like Applelosa hold'em, Strip Poker or Normal Poker?" "Normal poker is fine just get them I really don't have much time" She says as he walks out and brings a small red box full of the 54 poker cards "That'll be 25 bits please." "Alright here is you change sir" she hands him the change and spike walks out with the bag full of games "Alright next stop is the soda shop and then we will be done Spike, I'll make sure to get you a ruby for your assistance when we're done" she walks into the soda shop to be greeted by a green pegaues stallion with a yellow mane and a lemon and lime with a few bubbles for a cutie mark. "Hello there i'm Soda Pop how can i help you" He says as he walks to the front counter getting ready to start her order"its 4 bits every liter of soda" He adds "Okay i need 6, 2 liter bottles of soda. i would like one bottle full of Root Beer, one full of Sprite, one full of Coke, one full of Dr.Pepper, one full of Cream Soda and the last one full of Ginger Ale." she finishes as she hands him his 50 bits" have a nice day Sir." she says as she walks out the door holding the six bottles with her magic. "Bye have a great night ma'am" Says Soda Pop as Twilight walks out the store Next she goes to a white unicorn with a red mane "yes hello i'd like 5 bags of chips and a jar of salsa, cheese and sour cream." He replies" That'll be 15 bits." she pays him the money and make her way out. "Alright Spike we have everything we need and Pinkie Pie said lets have game night at her place so lets be on our way." Twilight trots to Pinkie's Apartment where she meets up with the rest of her friends except Rainbow Dash who seems to be absent again." Does Rainbow have late night practices now?" Twilight giggled to herself and sat herself and the soda down with Spike putting every thing on the ground panting for air. "Should we just start without Rainbow, I mean she is going to be here late anyways so there is no point in waiting, am I right." Said twilight "Yeahh you're right there really is no point in waiting anyways so what should we play first." Replied Pinkie. "Well we can play Uno or Sorry or Monopoly." Said Twilight "Lets start with Uno its a simple enough game for Anypony" Said Rarity Twilight pulled out the Uno cards shuffles them as if she was a Blackjack dealer at a Las Pegasus Casino and serves everyone 7 cards and Twilight makes her first move." I'll play red 4." "I play red 6." Said Applejack "Then I will play Blue six" Said Pinkie with her Poker Face "I um play wild care and um pick yellow" She finishes as Applejack and Rarity groan to drawn cards till they get a yellow card. This cycle goes on for an hour or so and suddenly in the middle of one of Applejacks horror story the door opens up to revel rainbow dash and her athletic friend Cotton Dash. Cotton Dash was a brown pegasus stallion with a white puffy mane and a cloud for a cutie mark, her eyes were a burning shade of fire blue with a small scar on her forehead that shows she was hit by a baseball as a colt plus he has a slight country accent in his voice. As the walks in the first thing she says is "Move out of my way. I don't want to see that old booty crack in my face" Toward Fluttershy and Immediately following of her friends stand up and give him a death glare" What its true why don't you Mules just calm down and take a chill pill god." Rainbow states" Just relax he tends to be a bit of a sexist and a racist at times. just deal with it." Just before Rarity was about to berate Rainbow and her friend Twilight cuts her off by saying "So Cotton Dash what do you do for a living" He scoffs"Why would you care. You mares should be in the Kitchen, Not worrying about Sports and crap." Twilight grins in anger a little"I'll have you know my Brother played Hoofball and Baseball in high school so yes I do care." He simply replies"So what, do I care if he's played those. I bet I could play better then him anyway cause I don't have to worry about having an ugly Sister with an ugly booty crack anyway." Twilight takes a deep breath" Rainbow can you ask your friend to leave?" Rainbow replies"Why should I? He seems fine where he is" Twilight's temper has just broke" WHY SHOULD YOU? WHY THE F**K SHOULD YOU? Because you're friend here is being a total jerk and you arrived here late like it was no big deal. and you're asking me why. You know maybe there is a reason why I hate ponies from the south. They are just sexist, Racist arrogant ponies that think they know it all and they think they are all of that and a bag of chips. Do you think I enjoy spending time with Applejack. No! Because she always has to cut in my sentence and correct me. So Rainbow can you and your friend just shut up and leave if you don't like it. You have just done the sin of killing a songbird(meaning you've done wrong to someone who's done no wrong to you) and to think you were a loyal friend Rainbow Dash. To think you would have some heart for a Somepony that you haven't seen in 5 years. Just don't even talk to me I don't have time to hear your excuses anymore. You've had one too many freebies.." Rainbow replies"Wow some pony is offended come on cotton lets not waste out time with these dweebs." Rainbow and Cotton leave the room. Applejack Speaks up" What did you say about me and my family a group of quote 'Sexist, Racist, Arrogant Ponies that think they know it all and they think they are all of that and a bag of chip. 'If you came here to insult me and Stereotype me then count me out." Applejack also leaves Twilight cries a little" I'm sorry girls i'll just leave.... Come on Spike lets go" She leaves the apartment walks walks back in the city streets in the dark just as it starts to rain. "gee thanks Luna do you want to throw something else at me." She sighs as she makes the long lonely walk home as a tsunami of emotions flood her from guilt, sadness, anger and failure hit her home," Maybe not all friendships are meant to last.. Maybe rainbow will find it in her to forgive me and so I can forgive her as well. Maybe i'm over thinking this Spike take a letter. And i'm sorry but you won't get that ruby I promised, maybe you can go to rarity's to go get one yourself tomorrow." Dear Princess Celestia today I learned that some friendships can't stay afloat in the vast seas of emotions and social life forever. You can patch the hole in the the ship but that only works and patches are easy to break, and trying to rebuild it, is another thing it will never be the same no matter what you do to it. So I will leave on the end note that Friendships are more then just Magic. She makes it to her bed and she cries for a few minutes before falling asleep."I'm sorry Rainbow Dash, I'm sorry Applejack" (And thats how she lost two of her friends)
Bite off more than you can chew(Waring this has very minor sexual content but disclaimer) "Surely they can forgive me, I mean we are all close friends. And i just got mad at one pony who was being really mean anyways" Says Twilight as she paces back and forth just a spike burps out a letter from the princess. The letter reads Dear Twilight Sparkle I understand what's going on and I want you to know that everything will work. Remember you and your friends have been through thick and thin and have over came everything in your path. To say a simple disagreement that would ruin a friendship is a little far fetched. Next time learn to control your anger and remain calm. Your Personal teacher Princess Celstia "She's right things will work out. Maybe not today but maybe next week." Said Twilight in relief. For the next few hours Twilight worked in the Library and filled out orders for books that ponies have requested, while calling fellow libraries to see if they held a book a pony needed. And she also spent her calls calling ponies with over due books and telling them to return it as soon as possible and telling them how much the overdue fee was. "Ugh so this is what work feels like. Not as exciting, but at least we get to see Rainbow Dash's Show tonight With my friends" Twilight sighed in some relief that something can come good could happen despite the scene she made a few days ago. Her hopes were raised again and this time she would try and not yell and remain calm. But then the thought of coming across Cotton Dash crossed her mind. Granted she did not want to strangle him in 10 different ways with her magic. She did want to say sorry and attempt to make peace with her. She thought of Cotton Dash as a pony who was unloved and not cared for. So to Twilight he was simply neglected as a colt trying to get recognition from the world around him and now, as a grown stallion he does nothing but leach on to ponies and seek their attention. "Spike i'm closing shop and going out and I trust you to stay back, don't burn the place down now. See you later Spike." She waved her assistant goodbye and left with Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy. Applejack had to stay back and do her work, and since that scene Twilight made. AppleJack wants nothing to do with her. So she was fine staying home. As for Twilight i would of been nice for her to see Applejack, after all she could say she was sorry. But she knew it would be best to leave some ponies to their own aggressions and move on. If she wanted to make peace with her then she could. But she moved on and made her way to the Hoofball Stadium to watch the Titans and the Scouts Play. With the Scouts being Shining Armor's Favorite Team EHL(Equrestian Hoofball League). Rainbow's Wonderbolt show is the planned half time show, Followed by the Ponyville Marching Band. Being one of the few Scouts fans in Ponyville Twilight kept to herself. They got in their seat which was somewhere near the front row and behind the Titan's Field goal, and watched the games with her friends in peace. And by some odd coincidence she found herself in front of Cotton Dash. She Turned to face the Stallion "Hey look! It's the butt her big booty cheeked Mule and her gay friends. What's a Scouts fan doing here anyway, you'd ought a know that the scouts suck right now knowing they are 7-24 and having a gay Quarterback who can't even throw." Said Cotton Dash in his arrogant voice. In anger Pinkie Blurted"Hey! The Titans could of gone to the Ponybowl but they were not only caught watching other teams pratice but they deflated their ball so they could win!" "So you're team still sucks donkey balls why should I care" Rarity Speaks up"For a pony who finds sports like this to be crude and uncouth we only came here to support our friend Rainbow Dash, if you can't handle that then you may leave here at once" "Kiss my ass" He replies Pinkie replies"You're not worth our time anyways." They all turn around and ignore him. Through out the first two quarters of the game he continued on making either an annoying whistle noise or make a yiff noise to provoke them "Just ignore him, if we do that we deprive him of his joy." Whispered Twilight As the second quarter ended a rainbow smoke come from the heavens and shot down into the earth along with a few other ponies and the Wonderbolts started their show with heavy rock playing in the background and fireworks exploding into the skies like cannon fire. And out from the smoke came Equrestia's favorite blue pegasus, Rainbow Dash. She went out at top speed and performed barrel rolls, loop de loops in cadence with the other Wonder bolts. Without Twilight or her friends noticing Cotton Dash gets his crotch area above Twilight's head and starts doing squats. When Twilight noticed she got up and wanted to strangle but she did not. "Look I don't know what you're problem is, I could strangle you but that would just make me Princess Twilight look bad. come on girls we don't need to deal with this." They walk off without saying another word and make their way to the hay burger shop.
