Silver Spoon deals with getting a present for her mother and the unwanted affections of a bully.

Set at the exact same time as "Summertime Road Trip"; VERY loosely based on another portion of the Tiny Toons' summer vacation special. While most of the other kids in Ponyville are trying to enjoy their summer vacation, Silver Spoon is spending her summer vacation doing a part-time job in order to raise the money to get her mother a nice birthday present. However, Silver ends up having to juggle the summer job with trying to fend off Riff Tannen's unwanted advances. Fortunately, Nyx, Pipsqueak and Scootaloo are all too happy to help Silver concerning the latter.

Chapter 1: The Annoying Flirtations

Chapter 1: The Annoying Flirtations

"Bye kids, enjoy your summer off!" Cheerilee calls out to her students as they leave the schoolhouse. It's time that the foals has waited for all year: summer vacation!

The ponies needed a vaca after the madness involving the Dark Water which Bai Tza has made a long time ago. This stuff ended up corrupting the Mane Six, turning them crazy and causing trouble. Fortunately, Spike, Ben, Nyx, the CMC, Princess Luna, Pinkamena's group and their pals were able to fix the mess and restore the Mane Six to normal.

The Mane Six felt a bit terrible for what they did, but luckily, they were forgiven. After all, it isn't the first time ponies were turned bad against their will (they did forgave Rarity for her brief time as Nightmare Rarity).

As things went back to normal and summer has arrived, the ponies of Ponyville prepare for their own summer, especially Twilight Sparkle who is working on tying to prepare a speech to congratulate the most recent graduates of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns.

Our main focuzs is on a former glasses wearing bully who sat at a stand listening to Caramel who spoke up, "I'm telling ya. I can't help being a bit clumsy, it sometimes happen. It upsets AJ a lot and..."

"Have confidence in yourself, Caramel. Maybe then, it will help ya out." Silver Spoon said calmly to Caramel. "And if AJ sees you for who you really are...maybe the two of you can get pass this."

"Oh, thanks, I appreciate it."

Caramel heads off, happy for the help. Silver Spoon is doing a summer time job that involves helping certain ponies solve their problems for a fair price. She needed this job for an important task: trying to raise money to buy her mother a good birthday present without dipping into her allowance, in this case not using her mother's money for this.

"Hoo boy, this job can be a bit boring sometimes." Silver Spoon yawns a bit. "If it weren't for the fact that I'm doing this for mom, I wouldn't even bother."

"Hey baby!" A familiar voice exclaims. Silver Spoon groans as Riff Tannen, of all ponies, came up, smirking. "Whatcha up to, baby?"

"Don't call me baby. And can't you see that I'm working?"

"Yeah, yeah. Hey, listen. I got nothing else better to do later on today. How about I cut ya a break and you go out to the movies with me, huh?"

"How about you suck on an egg?" A familiar voice snaps. Riff turns and yelps as a couple of eggs hits him, causing the bully to run off in alarm while trying to clean off of himself.

"Thanks, guys." Silver Spoon sighs as Nyx and Scootaloo shows up with smiles. "Doesn't he see that I got better things to do?"

"No kidding!" Scootaloo remarks, rolling her eyes. "So whatcha doing here instead of with Diamond Tiara?"

"Trying to raise money for my mother's birthday present. As for Diamond Tiara, I got no idea where she is."

"Well, we saw her leaving Ponyville with Sweetie on their vacation trip to Whinny Land." Nyx said with a nod, recalling what she and Scootaloo saw a few minutes or so ago. "I hope they don't get lost or worst."

"Yeah. So where's Apple Bloom?" Silver Spoon ask, noticing that Apple Bloom is nowhere in sight.

"Oh, she's working with Zecora over the summer. Practicing for a tinkerer's competition or something." Scootaloo remarks with a shrug. "She needed practice."

"And how is your mommy, Nyx, and your aunties?"

"They are still a bit saddened over the Dark Water incident, especially with Bai Tza and her daughter Mei Kai so they're laying low until this whole thing dies down." Nyx said with a nod. She didn't like the events of what happened either.

"Hope they're doing okay. Customers!" Silver Spoon exclaims as Snips and Snails shows up.

"Hey, Silver! We need some advice!" Snips exclaims to Silver Spoon in concern.

"More so than usual?"

"Uh, yeah!" Snails exclaims, nodding stupidly. "We need some respect and...you know!"

"Yeah, we do." Scootaloo said, recalling the incident when the foals got lost during a class trip. Snips and Snails wanted to prove that they are more than the town dunces once in a while!

"Well, Miss Cheerilee is casting parts for an upcoming summertime play." Silver Spoon said, recalling what Cheerilee said she is planning for summer. "Why not audition for that?"

"Wow, good idea!" The two silly colts exclaims happily.

"You're smart, very smart!" Snails exclaims with a nod as he and his pal leaves.

"We must hurry or all the good parts will be gone!" Snips exclaims eagerly. If the two hurry, they can still have time to work in the play!

"Yeah!"

The two silly ponies rushed off...just as Riff, with the eggs off his face, came by, smirking as he spoke, "Beautiful, you are fine as a dove! How about going to the movies?"

"No, but you gotta look under there." Nyx said, pointing to the bottom.

"Under where?"

"Right!"

Suddenly Nyx made a pair of underwear appears, stuffing them onto Riff's head. The trio laughs as the bully runs off, trying to get the stuff off his head.

"Well, so far, Riff has been messed up." Scootaloo remarks with a light giggle as her friends nodded in agreement.

Big Macintosh trotted up. He spoke up, "Hey uh, Silver?"

"Hey Big Mac. I know Diamond and my advice to you the other time didn't work so well, but I'm here to give you real advice this time." Silver Spoon said, offering real advice this time.

"Eeyup. It's between me and Cheerilee. Uh...we haven't been together officially...but when the time comes...do you think and I are...someponies?" Big Macintosh ask Silver Spoon, wanting a bit of advice on this.

"Well, do you like LIKE her?" Silver Spoon ask Big Mac, arching an eyebrow.

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh admits with a nod.

"Then wait for the right time to tell her. If that day does come and she doesn't feel like being more than pals, then best to move on." Silver Spoon explains without hurting Big Mac's feelings.

"Uh, thanks." Big Macintosh said, leaving thoughtfully. "Better than last time."

As Silver Spoon prepares for the next pony, she looks annoyed as Riff came by, saying, "Listen. You know you want to go, I know you want to go. So why deny me? Come on, go with the movies!"

"How about you look into this box?" Silver Spoon ask dryly as she shows a box. "My answer is in there."

Riff opens the box...but yelps as a boxing glove on a swing came out, hitting him in the face and sending the bully into some trash cans.

"Good one." Silver Spoon said to Pipsqueak, the one who set the box trap up.

"No prob." Pipsqueak said with a pleased look.

"Hey there, ponies." Pinkamena said, wearing a towel over her head.

"Pinkamena? Why do you have a towel over your head?" Nyx ask her friend, giving an odd look to the Pinkie Pie lookalike.

"I decided to give myself a new mane do." Pinkamena admits with a smile. "Hope you will like it!"

"I bet you'll look beautiful, Pinkamena." Nyx remarked happily.

"Thank you!" Pinkamena exclaims proudly. "Now I got some problems. I need to file Dashie's e-mails, which I answered while she, your mommy and other aunties went bizarro during the Dark Water incident."

"Yeah, I've never been so scared of mommy my whole life when she was like that." Nyx commented.

"Well, just put them in her e-mail files." Silver Spoon suggests to Pinkamena.

"Okie dokie lokie! Must go." Pinkamena said, looking to the camera. "And Neros, buddy? Don't pick fights you can't win, especially with Iron Man being replaced by an African American. I like Marvel too, but making the wrong complaints gets ya into a lot of trouble!"

"Yeah, instead, stick to Marvel Reborn and keep quiet every so often." Nyx said in agreement with Pinkamena.

Pinkamena hums happily as she heads off. Pipsqueak, Scootaloo and Silver Spoon looks bewildered. What the hay is that about?

"Come on, Silver!" Riff exclaims, rushing up, making Silver groans out in more irritation.

"You got to go with me to the movies!"

"How about take a hike?!" Silver Spoon hisses at Riff. "Or better yet, take an anvil?"

"What? I don't get it." Riff said, scratching his mane as Nyx uses her magic.

Without warning, an anvil appears, squashing Riff flat. He groans out while heading off.

"Can't he take a hint?" Scootaloo asked in annoyance.

"If he could, then he wouldn't be a bad guy in this fanfic series." Nyx remarks, rolling her eyes a bit.

"Hey girls, Pipsqueak." An Asian like colt named Toshio said, coming in.

"Hey Toshio. Do you have a problem?" Silver Spoon ask Toshio, wanting to see what his problem is.

"Hai. Have you seen my pet turtle?" Toshio ask the group hopefully. "I haven't seen him since lunch."

"I'm sure he's around here somewhere." Pipsqueak said. "I'm sure a turtle like him can't be hard to..."

A roar is heard, making everyone yelps as they turn to see a huge turtle like creature roaring. Ponies yelps as they gallops off a bit.

"Oh, Tippi, there you are, boy!" Toshio exclaims happily to see his pet turtle. "Thanks! I gotta get him back into the kennel."

"Uh, you're welcome." Silver Spoon said awkwardly as Toshio gallops off to get his giant turtle. "Wow, ponies today got weird pets."

"You can say that again!" Nyx remarked, surprised about how Toshio had a HUGE turtle for a pet.

"Uh oh." Scootaloo groans as you know who comes back.

"This is your last chance. I try to play nice but now I'm done." Riff remarks with a growl. "Go out with me or else! Come on!"

The four ponies groans out in irritation. Now Riff is using threats. Good grief!

"Fine! If we go out after my shift is over, will you leave me alone?!" Silver demands to Riff, finally caving in and having enough.

"I knew you couldn't refuse me." Riff remarked smugly and happily.

"Yeah, now scram!" Nyx remarks, making a boot appear and kick the villain right in the butt.

"Ouch, fine! But I'm bringing my buddies with me to the film." Riff remarks as he trots off. The bully may got a flank kicked but at least he got what he wanted.

"Ugh, my life is a pain in the flank." Silver Spoon remarks, slamming her head onto her stand. Now she gotta go out with Riff of all ponies!

Scootaloo suggest, "Pipsqueak and Nyx are planning on going to the movies tonight sometime after your shift is over. I figure you can use the company in case Riff and his pals try anything."

"Yeah, I'd need the help." Silver Spoon said to her friends with a sigh. It's going to be a long shift!

It was a bit of a long shift but Silver Spoon made it. The filly knocked off for the rest of the day by reading some comic books at a local comic book shop before heading to the movies with her friends...as well as Riff. Ugh, the filly has got a bad feeling about this.

Once she's done, Silver Spoon trots through town, looking at Ponyville. It's amazing that this place even survived the incident when the Mane Six has been turned bad thanks to the Dark Water. At least, things has calm down a bit. Although the Mane Six are busy dealing with a wide variety of supposed emergency calls.

Silver Spoon was close to the theater when her smart phone went off, causing her to take it out. There's a message from Diamond Tiara that looks urgent. Silver Spoon prepares to read what her friend just send her.

"Hey, Silver, come on!" Riff exclaims, trotting in and smacking the phone away, much to Silver Spoon's annoyance. "The movie is about to begin! I ain't missing this for the world!"

The smart phone fell into the trash as Silver Spoon was dragged off to the local theater. The poor filly has no idea that her friend's call is urgent for a good reason.

Riff brought Silver to his pals who are waiting for him. Goggles laughs, "Yo boss! Glad you're here."

"Yeah, and you bought Silver Spoon with ya." Matchstick said with a smile.

"Yeah! Wild monkeys can't stopped me!" Riff exclaims with a laugh at his success.

"Ugh, you mean "wild horses"." Silver Spoon groans out, correcting Riff.

"Why? I'm a horse!"

"I'm not surprised."

"Come on, the movie's going to start in a few minutes." Baldy said anxiously.

Everyone heads to the doors as an usher is ripping tickets. He looks and frowns upon seeing Riff's group arriving.

"Ugh, no, not you four again." The usher groans as he reluctantly takes the group's tickets, ripping them as they come in.

Silver Spoon sighs as she looks back, seeing Nyx, Scootaloo and Pipsqueak arriving and coming in after her group. She can only hope for the best.

Author's Note

Well, it's now movie time, folks. How will Silver Spoon survive this? Read, review and suggest!

This chapter has references to my past and future MLP: FIM summer stories, as well as the trouble a pal of mine got into lately, as well as the movie "Gamera".

Chapter 2: Let's Go To The Movies

Chapter 2: Let's Go To The Movies

Riff, Silver Spoon, and the gang goes through the theater, going past the concession stand which has lines. Riff spoke, "All right. We will get us the seats. Baldy, get us some snacks!"

"Roger!" Baldy exclaims, saluting. As his boss, his date and pals heads off to the theater, the minion gallops forward, pushing through a couple of ponies in line. "Come on, move it, pal! Coming through, move and shove it!"

The ponies in line looks upset as Baldy made his way up front to where Mr. and Mrs. Cake are at with the foals. The husband ask his wife, "Honey? Do you want anything?" Suddenly, Baldy cuts in front of them, much to their shock.

"Awww, Mr. Cake called me honey."

"Hey!" Mrs. Cake protests. The husband fumes angrily as Baldy spoke to the usher who got the snacks for him.

"Right, I will have one big popcorn bucket, two substitute meat dogs, no mustard. Gooper of Raisinets. Good question. Hey, ugly, what shall I get?" Baldy ask Mr. Cake. However, the angry Sugarcube Corner owner grabs him and kicks him away. "Hey! I wasn't finish!"

"You are now!" Mr. and Mrs. Cake snaps angrily at Baldy who got send flying into the theater.

Baldy landed in the theater, landing in a bunch of snacks that got stick to him. The minion groans and spots where Riff's group is at.

"Hey, Riff! Boss! Hey, Biff!" Baldy calls out as he goes over to the aisle where Riff's group is at, pushing through a lot of ponies, causing more snacks to fall onto him. "Movie it, loser! Move your...ouch! Hey, rude, jerk! Oh, got some snacks."

"Hoo boy." Pipsqueak said as he, Nyx and Scootaloo got into their seats with their snacks. Luckily, they took the express lane and paid for their snacks ahead of time.

"About time, Baldy." Goggles said as Baldy arrives. "Where's the snacks?"

"Got into some trouble. Want some?" Baldy ask, putting some popcorn into a candy box, offering it to Riff and Silver Spoon.

"Nah, we snuck ours in." Riff remarks, shrugging as he and his other minions took some snacks that they snuck into the theater.

"You will get into trouble for doing that." Silver said in disapproval to Riff. Sneaking snacks into the theater is against the rules.

"Your point?"

Soon the theater turns dark as the curtain lifts up. Matchstick jumps around, calling out, "Lights are dimming-a! Lights are dimming-a!"

Everyone shushes Matchstick in annoyance. A hoof appears on the big screen, holding a conductor's baton as if to begin a musical performance. Silver Spoon is horrified with mostly everyone else as she screams, "Yikes! It's the sound system promo!"

"Hit the deck!" Scootaloo screams out. The CMC and most of the audience head for cover and put on helmets, much to the confusion of Riff's goons.

Soon the hoof waves as a burst of sound broke loudly throughout the theater, many ponies who weren't fortunate enough to duck in time scream as they were blown away. A bunch of glass break, an explosion occurred and a head explode as a result.

Eventually though, the 'MYSTIC' logo is seen as the surviving audience members cheers on with a deep voice saying some small words on the screen, "The audience is now deaf."

Granny Smith, unbudged, frowns as she shouts to the big screen, "Turn it up! Turn it up!"

Soon a river area appears where a stallion is grinning to the camera, speaking, "Hey! My name is Ponywriter, reporter for the deviant stories news!"

"Ugh, I hate commercials!" Riff groans out as he sat down. "They are annoying."

"Writing is a tough for a reporter, I need to relax sometimes. So I come to the river because even serious journalists like yours truly gotta unwind."

"Will you shut up already?!" Goggles snaps at the pony on the big screen. Of course, this made the other movie goers shush him in annoyance.

"Why don't YOU shut up, Four-Eyes?!" Matelda snapped at the goon as she, Jakk Checkers and Colbly Lollygagger sat from a few seats behind the CMC's and Riff's gang's.

"Yeah, down in front!" Jakk Checkers shouted as he threw his popcorn at Goggles, hitting him in the head hard.

"Especially when it comes to making rants on events in comic books, yelling and insulting certain ponies, calling names and even got the alter ego the size of..." Ponywriter said, beginning to get upset. But he calms down and gave an awkward chuckle. "But I digress, really."

Soon the commercial is done as ad shows up which said, "No smoking in the theater". Sure enough, some of the foals cheers as a few smokers frowns and left the theater. A rating appears being shown which said "This movie is rated PG: not suited for bullies." Silver Spoon glares at Riff's group who gave awkward chuckles.

Soon the film's title appears on the screen. Baldy cheers out, "All right! The movie is starting!" The audience shushes at him in annoyance once more.

Riff grins as he prepares to take Silver by the hoof. The filly scowls as she smacks his hoof away, "Come on! I agree on the date, no hanky panky!"

"Come on, we're here, no one's paying attention to us." Riff said slyly trying to get "friendly" with Silver Spoon.

"Will you stop?!"

"Now I don't like the looks of this." Nyx whispers to Scootaloo, not likely what Riff is doing. "We better move in closer."

"Good idea, come on." Scootaloo whispers, agreeing as the two fillies and Pipsqueak left the seats to get closer to make sure that Riff doesn't try anything funny.

Riff chuckles as he tries to tickle Silver, making her push him away, snapping, "Riff, stop!"

"Come on, it's fun!" Riff exclaims with glee.

"Get your hooves off or I will yell out "rat"." Silver remarks with a frown to her "date'.

"Better do as she says, Flankface!" Jakk snapped to Riff.

"Hey, make like a banana and scram!" Riff snaps at Jakk in annoyance.

"Duh, that's split, dummy!" Colby corrected with a frown.

"Boss, we got a problem." Matchstick said, motioning to Nyx's group getting closer.

"Well, deal with them, go on!" Riff snaps, trying to get "friendly" with Silver. He notices his pals still around. "Well, get lost, this ain't no peep show!"

"Oh! Y-Yes, boss!" Baldy said a bit quickly before he and the rest of Riff's goons headed towards Nyx's group.

"We better help make sure Silver Spoon doesn't get violated." Matelda whispered to Jakk and Colby cautiously.

"Right. Let's go." Jakk agreed quietly before he, Matelda and Colby started following after Nyx's group.

Goggles got to work on using his special goggles. Anyone who saw a special glow around the screen dismissed it as part of the special effects.

Nyx's group is coming up as a growl is heard. Pipsqueak nervously say, "Err, Nyx?"

"Not now, Pipsqueak. Can't your stomach keep quiet?" Nyx asks Pipsqueak quietly.

"I think we were right in thinking those guys are up to something." Pipsqueak mumbles a bit.

"Why you say that?" Nyx ask her friend curiously.

"Because THAT ISN'T MY STOMACH!" Pipsqueak cries out in horror.

The trio turns, yelping as a huge bug like creature roars at them. It's Beera!

"GIANT BUG!!!" Scootaloo screamed in fear.

The bee roars as he snaps at the trio who dodges. The ponies gasped but cheers, they think this is part of the movie!

"I love the movie effects!" One of the Cloudsdale jocks Hoops laughs eagerly.

Nyx didn't waste time in turning into her adult form, blasting away Beera. Goggles brought this to life to keep her group busy.

Scootaloo yelps as something almost got her: a huge Pegasus pony with boxing gloves roars out, "YOOOO!!!"

"Gah! Rocky Balpony! And he isn't even a bad guy!" Scootaloo exclaims in alarm, dodging a boxing punch.

"Hang on, Scoot-Scoot! We're coming!" Jakk shouted as he, Colby and Matelda charged towards Beera and Rocky.

"Duck!" Colby exclaims in alarm as the trio dodges a laser slash from a masked pony. "Gah! It's Cyro Ken!"

"And here I thought the Mystic Wars was a movie franchise!" Matelda exclaims as she dodges lightning from the villain.

Beera flew at Nyx who dodges it, making the monster hit Rocky instead, knocking him away from Scootaloo. Adult Nyx fires at the two, blasting them into oblivion.

"Come on, we got to help Jakk's group." Nyx said, seeing that Jakk's group needs help against the Mystic Wars villain.

"Right!" Pipsqueak said with a nod.

With the others continuing fighting the movie villains, Silver Spoon groans as she tries to get up, only for Riff to pull her down.

"Going somewhere, Silvery?" Riff ask slyly.

"I ain't going to be involved if you attack my friends like this!" Silver Spoon scowls angrily. She is seeing the fighting happening. Although the audience thinks it’s part of the special effects, the filly knows otherwise.

"Ignore them and kiss me." Riff laughs as he leans over for a kiss.

The grey filly gasped in outrage before she punched him in the nose as she shouted, "You impertinent pig!!! How could you say such horsecrap and think only of yourself?! I can't believe you!"

"Better do it, kid." Matchstick demands as he makes fire magic appear.

Riff comment, "Look, Silver, either you go out with me AND allow me to kiss you or Matchstick will use his fire magic to burn down the theater. The choice is yours."

Silver Spoon looks worried. If she refuses, this whole place will go down. But luckily, Pipsqueak appears and smack both Riff and Matchstick from behind with a club.

"Back off, manure-for-brains!" Pipsqueak shouted.

"Gah! Matchstick, beat him!" Riff exclaims furiously to Matchstick.

"Not a chance!" Scootaloo snaps as she flies in and knocks Matchstick before he could attack. "This is a movie theater, not a fighting ground, and you got no right in almost hurting Silver Spoon and us!"

"What does she have to do to make it clear to you plotheads?!" Matelda yelled, "She wants to be with her friends and not you!"

"Lookee what we got here, a unicorn who thinks she's a witch!" Riff exclaims mockingly. Then he said to Matelda in amusement, "Why don't you go back to Canterlot and get lost, horn head!"

"DON'T CALL ME HORNHEAD!!!" Matelda shouted in rage as she casted a spell on Riff, which shockingly hit him across the face real hard like an invisible fist!

Jakk quickly knocks Goggles down and steps on the goggles that fell off, breaking them. This causes the movie villains to disappear from sight. At least they won't be a problem.

"It's over, get out of the theater now!" Scootaloo exclaims furiously to Riff who recovers from Matelda's attack.

Riff ask, "What's the matter, Scootaloo? Chicken?" before adding "That's it, isn't it? Too chicken to try fighting me without your alicorn friend backing you up."

Scootaloo snarl, "NOPONY calls me "'chicken'"." She propel her scooter at Riff and his gang fast enough and hard enough to literally bowl them over and then zip around all four of them with a length of rope just as they are getting to their feet. The Pegasus filly add, "But I am ALSO not stupid enough to try going hoof-to-hoof with you."

“But that doesn’t mean she can’t.” Matelda said with a smirk, motioning to Silver Spoon. “Care to do the honors?”

"With pleasure!" Silver snarled as she grabbed the rope, "Riff, you sir are the biggest jerk in Ponyville! The only thing richer about you is your bullying attitude! Didn't you hear what my friends said before?! I am TRYING to get away from YOU! You are nothing but a selfish, worthless waste of pony! You have a personality that rivals spore mold! On the evolutionary chart, you rank someplace between head cheese and toaster ovens! You're a cruise to nowhere! A null, a void, a zero! You, sir, stink like horsecrap!"

"But Silver, babe--" Riff started to protest.

"But nothing, plothead! And don't ever! EVER! Call me babe!" Silver shouted in rage. She then grabbed Riff and yanked him to her face and gave him a hateful, threatening glare in the eyes as she snarled, "Read my lips! I! DON'T! LIKE! YOU!!!!" On 'LIKE', With Nyx's help, on 'I', Silver Spoon grabbed the four bullies and spun them around like mad on 'DON'T' before she threw Riff up in the air on 'LIKE', and on 'YOU', she jumped and kicked Riff in the grapefruits, sending him and his gang flying out the theater doors. The crowd, seeing this, cheered wildly.

Nyx changes back to normal as she said, "Sorry about that, folks! We can go back to the movie viewing now!"

Everypony goes back to watching the film, Nyx sat down next to Pipsqueak who comments, "At last, we can watch this in peace."

Nyx comment, "The odd thing is, Riff and his gang provided almost as much action OFF-screen as the villains and monsters that were ON-screen."

A few weeks later....

"Happy birthday, happy birthday to you!" Everyone at the birthday party sings out to Silver Spoon's mother in the shadows. The foals like Diamond Tiara, Pipsqueak and all of the CMC are present with the birthday present she worked all summer to raise the money for. It took all summer but Silver Spoon was able to get the money necessary for the present.

The party continues onward with the guests eating cake and/or having fun. Silver Spoon sighs, "At least all that mess is over. I can't believe you almost got killed by a mad griffin hitchhiker!"

"Yeah, me too." Diamond remarks with a chuckle. The former bully comment, "I owe you an apology for missing the mess with Riff, Silver, but I AM glad you STILL had all the help you needed."

"Me too. Granted, Riff is gonna be stubborn and go after me, but at least he will think twice before asking me out again."

"Your summer is a bit advanced than my trip to Whinny Land, as well as Apple Bloom's tinkering and the play Snips and Snails are in."

"I know!" Silver Spoon giggles in delight. She sighs, "Wow, can't believe summer is almost over. We're going back to school soon."

Diamond comments, "Considering the messes we got into this summer, going back to school is actually going to be a relief, as much as I can't believe I'm actually saying that."

"Yeah, me too."

And thus another summer story is done. What do you guys think? All right, now for the next one..."

“Apple Bloom's Summer Job (set at the exact same time as "Summertime Road Trip" and "Riff's Silver Strike", but NOT based on any segments of the Tiny Toons' summer vacation special): Apple Bloom gets a summer job helping Zecora make and test her potions as well as build and reinforce shelves for the bottles for said potions. Now, Apple Bloom knows Zecora has no money to pay her, but it IS a good way to help a friend AND keep in practice for a tinkerer's competition (as in a friendly competition for sentient beings who happen to be good with tools) at the end of the summer."

Now it's Apple Bloom's turn to tell us here story and no segment to base on to boot. Until next time, read, review and suggest!

The sounds system has a reference to the one spoof with the Simpsons.

Ponywriter is based on a pal of mine, along with some problems he got into as of late.

Beera is based on the monster Mothra.

Rocky Balpony is a spoof of Rocky Balboa.

Cyro Ken is based on Kylo Ren from the new Star Wars trilogy.
