Friendship Was Magic...
Crash and burn
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight'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)
