Thunder and Lightnings Adventures

Thunder and Lightning’s Adventures: Prologue-The Beginning

Thunder and his friends Lightning, Shadow, Arrow, and Silver were hanging out at their usual meet up spot in Ponyville. They were all meeting up to discuss about a new movie coming out that they all wanted to see together. The movie was from the Daring-Do series so it was gonna be good. The movie was called ‘Daring-Do and the Quest for the Ruby Staff’. They sat their discussing about where to sit in the theaters, what time to get the snacks and when they should go to the bathroom before the movie starts.

“Now, who will be buying the snacks this time since I did last time?” Thunder said, looking around the table of his kitchen. All of them sat silent, knowing whoever said they would pay for the snacks would kinda be in debt for a bit.

“I will this time” Lightning said, raising his hoof.

“Thanks Lightning” Silver started. “Just think about it, next time we go, you won’t have to pay for the snacks”

Lightning just rolled his eyes at that comment. Everypony knew the ‘Snack Pony’ was the pony who would spend the most amount because everypony went overboard on snacks. They sat there for a good fifteen minutes before they had everything else planned out for the best movie experience ever.

They leave their hangout spot from Sugar Cube Corner and start to head out for the movie theater. They make stops in their trip to gather everything they need for the movie. They stop at general stores to grab the snacks, drinks, and other necessities they need. After they’re finished shopping, they make their way back down the street towards the theater. They make it their before the movie starts but, the line to get tickets is longer than they expected.

“Alright, even though it’s a big line to get tickets, we can survive till we get up there” Shadow said, looking past the line to see how many ponies are actually in line.

“We aren’t worried about getting to the ticket booth” Arrow started. “It’s about getting the actual tickets to see the movie. If we can’t get tickets then we have to wait ANOTHER week to see this movie” Arrow was getting annoyed at the fact that they had to wait for such a long time to see this movie. The movie has been out for three weeks now and they tried for the past three weeks but couldn’t get to the booth in time. They see a few of their good friends, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, get behind them in the line. It was awfully quiet the whole time they waited but, it had to or else everypony knew that the movie you would want to see would be gone quicker than normal. The five friends sat in line for sixteen minutes before they reach the front of the line. They walk up to the booth and request their tickets.

“Five tickets to see ‘Daring-Do and the Quest for the Ruby Staff’ please” Shadow said, looking like he was about to pass out.

“Sorry but, their are only three left to see that movie” the sales pony said.

Silver, Shadow, and Arrow were all in shock from not getting the tickets, while Thunder and Lightning just looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

“Guys, it’s not that surprising to see them run out that quick” Lightning said, walking away from the line. “Besides, it’s not that big of a deal anyways” Lightning looked back to see the same three friends in shock, now in disgust looking at him.

“What do you mean ‘Not a big deal’?” Silver said, walking towards him.

“Yeah, we all really want to see this movie and you’re taking it as if the movie isn’t important” Shadow said, getting out of line as well.

“Guys, come on” Thunder said from behind Silver and Shadow. “Lightning has a point here. Even though we didn’t get to see the movie, there’s always another time. Me and Lightning wanna see this movie just as much as you guys do but, if we keep complaining about not seeing it then, we won’t get anywhere” Thunder stood confident, thinking his point got across to his friends.

“Then I guess we will watch it without you then” Arrow said, chiming in. “If you guys don’t want to then there’s enough tickets for the three of us. Right guys?” The two others nod their head in agreement while Thunder sat their smirking at them.

“Whats got you smirking?” Shadow said, still having his face of anger.

“You might of wanted to stay in line if you were gonna watch the movie. Seems like someone else beat you to it” Thunder said, pointing a hoof towards the booth. The three look towards the booth to see Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo purchase two tickets to the same movie. The three are now looking like they had just seen an amazing magic trick from a dog.

“You guys were saying?” Lightning said, matching Thunder’s smirk. The three turned back with their heads down in defeat.

“I can’t believe we lost another chance at seeing the movie!” Shadow said in frustration. His wings flare up in anger.

“Shadow, have some respect. We have young one’s here” Arrow motioned toward a group of adults with their colt or filly. Shadow quickly put his wings down and gave a weak smile of embarassment while waving weakly.

“Alright, here’s a new plan” Thunder started, getting up from a bench. “We keep the snacks we have until next week when we try to watch it again. That way there we won’t have to spend anything for snacks”

The four nod in agreement before Thunder gave a sigh of relief, now knowing they understood. “Finally. I thought wewould be here forever” Thunder thought to himself. The group of friends start to head off towards Ponyville and get some rest for the night.

“Me and Lightning have work in the morning so, we can’t make it in time” Thunder said walking besides Arrow.

“Alright but, next time you have to be there. It’s not the same without you and Lightning” Arrow looked pleadingly.

“I will” Thunder replied. “Now, let me go home so I can sleep and I can actually make it to work” Arrow saw that Lightning was waiting for Thunder to be finished talking. Arrow and Thunder said their goodbyes and headed off towards their home.

“What did he want?” Lightning said, breaking a silence between them.

“He wants us to go to his get together next week and I told him we would be there” Thunder said, grabbing the keys from his saddlebags with his magic.

“You do know that I have to work longer next week right? I have been selling a lot ever since I started to get the hang of things there” Lightning said in a very proud and boasting manner.

“Thats why I told him to plan it on your day off” Thunder started to unlock the door to his and Lightnings home.

Lightning stopped dead in his tracks, realizing what Thunder just told him. “You know that my days off are limited. Why would you do that?”

“He’s our friend and we need to see him when we have the time to sometimes. Plus, he didn’t stop bothering me until I said we would show up” Thunder and Lightning were now inside getting everything all set for them to play a few games before bed. They only play for a good hour before looking to see what time it was. A little past 9 but they both knew work was early in the morning. They were just getting settled in for bed when a knock was heard from the front door.

“I’ll see who it is” Thunder yelled, getting out of his bed. Thunder walked downstairs towards the door when another knock was heard from the door. “I’m coming. Jeez” Thunder opened the door to see that it was a royal gaurd from Canterlot. “Oh, good evening sir. Is there something you need?”

“I’m here to warn Ponyville about the threat of some dark magic coming this way. Please, stay indoors for the next few days until it has been dealt with, we don’t want any of you getting hurt” The gaurd finishes and just walks off towards the next house.

Thunder shuts the door and locks it. He heads back upstairs into his bedroom and shuts the door. “I don’t care if dark magic is coming, I have a shop to run in the morning” Thunder knew that a little bit of some spooky magic wasn’t gonna stop him from going to work. Thunder drifted off to sleep a few minutes after. Outside, the clouds were turning dark and had spikes coming from them. The only clue to know who is behind it is an ominous laugh, coming from the distance.
