Stranded in the Canaries

So, how many times has Equestria got involved in conflicts or wars? Honestly, i have no idea. Sure, some of them are notable enough to be written in the history books such as the War of the two Sisters (also known as the Lunar Rebellion), the Changeling Incursions, Lord Tirek's Invasion, the Crystal Empire war, and the Discordian crisis. To name the few

OLD SISTERS CASTLE, 1.2 Km SE OF PONYVILLE

“FULL HOUSE! I WON!” screamed Hot Head.

“Aw man not again!” I grumbled as I threw my card on the table. Hothead has beaten me again in a poker game for three times in a row.

“High five redhead!” said Prince Illusion.

“Boom” Hothead replies, slapping his fore hoof towards Illusion’s right paw

“I swear to mother Faust you must’ve switched his card Lulu!”

“That’s preposterous, i wouldn't cheat on a game like these! well, except on that occassion” again Illusion shouted.

“Now you must pay all the expenses for my next date!”

“How about I make it better by giving you both a ticket to the Canaries?” please don’t overspend.

Now Hothead begun showing that intrigued- i mean smughead face.

“Hold the phone, you, paying for-“

“But the return trip will be paid by yourself, and the hotel… halved. Come on man, I am bringing Dubz here!”

“I heard that!” shouted Whirlwind from the kitchen.

“Eh, it still sounds logical, I’ll take it. I’m going to call her now.”

As soon as he left the game room, Lucky, Nidra, Starburst and Fletcher enters it.

“Ey, what’s up?”

“So, little boy Blue is going to the Canaries huh? Tell you what, we’ll be going there, all of us. In my Bird.”

That one came from Nidra, I don’t know how did she just- well, ‘least my wallet is saved.

“That is mighty generous of you, any reasons for that?”

“I want to blow off some steam too ya pinhead! All these “greeting, meeting and jibber jabber” with diplomats is really getting on my nerves! I’m literally burned out mate!” She fierily replied, with a pistol gesture on her temple.

“I got it lass. It’s always sucks to work behind the desk, or sitting with diplomats and those stuff. But hey, it’s our duty as the successors to the throne. Speaking of crown duties, unfortunately I can’t join the tripwith you guys.” Sighed Illusion at the end of his sentence.

“why?”

“Remember that ‘situation’ in Dragonstone? Apparently mom is sending me, Claire and Uncle Spike over there to take care of things. Hope it’ll be short. Can’t let you guys party in the Cans without me.” he chuckled.

Just then, Hothead returns to the room.

“Right, so… Prism, I guess you are in luck. Lightbringer can’t join us because she’s having a Family reunion for a week. But she invited me to a date at Horseshoe Lake in 16 days from now. And I’m still joining you on this trip”

“Fine then, we will depart tomorrow morning, are we clear?”

“Duly noted PB.” Exclaimed Lucky.

“PB? That’s a new nickname. Never heard anyone-“

Then I was cut by Dubz, back with a beverage cart.

“Drinks are ready guys! And I see the other four has arrived”

“Dubz, did you invite the-“

…And then I got cut off by Starburst. Who’s clearly not in her best mood right now.

“YES SHE DID. Now can I PLEASE have the drinks now! LOOK, four hours ago some dumbass private made fun of my stature and goofed off during PT, while also clearly oblivious to my rank. So I gave those boots little ‘kick in the sack’. And by Faust I see no reason for not doing so to you too if you kept blabbering! Gosh, fresh meats these days!”

“Yeesh, is that h-OW MY KNEE! Hey Fletcher, did she really did that thing to a Private?”

“Yes she did, shame that I didn’t stop that poor stallion in time.” Replied Fletcher.

“Argh, Starburst, you should lay down your Caff, for real now.”

And so after a pack of ice and many laughs later…

“So, as I say before. We’ll depart from this castle around 09:00 hours, so let’s get your respective stuff. And move to the guest rooms. Let’s call it a night and prep up guys.
