Chapter 5: The Tickets

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Still don’ts own anything cept my ocs (new oc in next chapter or two) (AN: I can't think of too much to do right now, a block if you will. So not much in this chapter, stuff in next chapter cuz there's a new character. Want more text? Then skip the chapter but part of the next won’t make sense then.)

Color Sphere's POV

I sighed, seeing nothing exciting or new happening anytime soon. My new brothers (Freezin and Dusk) are, like me, waiting for something to happen. I think Dusk is asleep too. "Time, Date, and Year?" I ask. "It's 10:34AM, Date is- OH YEAH!!" This got my attention and it woke Dusk up. "Wh-what I miss?" he asked, "Something exciting and what not happening?" Freezin nodded and we looked at him, waiting to say what was happening. Then a note appeared out of light blue smoke, well it's rather frost but still. He unrolled the scroll and read it aloud, but it was slow "Dear Freezin, Dusk Heart, and Color Sphere, you have been invited to the Grand Galloping Gala being held on, blah blah blah... I have enclosed 4 tickets for you three and a guest, DON'T give it to any of the girls, your guest will come to Ponyville soon. -Luna."

"Why so slow?" I asked. "It's written in ancient Equestrian. Here look" he showed me the letter. Now, I know ancient equestrian right off the bat, always have, guess it was the barrier thing. Well, I'll know one day. "That's easy to read, I've known this sense I was like, 1 year old." "Okay okay," Dusk interrupted, "Well, I know you're part of the Royal Staff, that's how you got your ticket, but what about Twilight? She's Celestia's Apprentice!" I turned into my pony form/disguise, "ONWARDS! WE SHALL VENTURE TO THY LIBRARY!" I screamed.

We got to the library after a run/fly didn't find anyone there, lucky us. I looked around to see if she was REALLY there, you can never be too sure, and instead, found a note.  I read the note: 'Dear Freezin,' ha-ha, lucky me, I found a note for Freezin, must've blown off the door or out a window or something, 'If you are reading this, it means I’m not back yet, I'm currently helping Applejack with some work and, if you want, can come help. Or you can just stay indoors at the library reading, whatever you want. -Twilight' then there was a heart drawn in by (I think) Spike, I mean, who else would? I doubt that Twilight would EVER do this, even if I don't really know her. I walk around to the others; hold up the note and say, "They're not here." Freezin looked down in disappointment, I turned to see what Dusk's reaction is, but he turned to see this storm cloud over head. "Uhh, Dusk...?" I asked. "This way! There isn't supposed to be a storm today!" He bolted in that direction and Freezin and I barely kept up.

Dusk Heart's POV

Storm's over there, not supposed to! I gotta get over there! Dear Celestia Rainbow, what are you up to... "This is too slow..." I say to myself, I started to spread my wings then for some reason, to ponies rammed into me, and I have a good feeling it isn't Color and Freezin. "Get. Off. Of. ME!!!!" I yelled, rolling over to get the two ponies off of me. I look to who did this to me, and speak f the devil, Rainbow is one of them. The other pony was Applejack. "Now, tell me a good reason why I shouldn't burn down a building right now..." I say and deathly tone, "And also tell me, why we have a storm over there, that's lasting for 5 minutes!!" Gosh I sound mad when I'm mad. "Well uhh, well..." Rainbow spluttered on. "Wait, let me guess," I said in a less angry tone, "Twilight just happens to be invited to this Grand, Galloping whatever, and you and the rest of you are trying to win her over?" "How did you know that?" Applejack asked. I pulled out my ticket that I put in my mane, still as shiny and gold as ever. They stared at the ticket open mouthed, how is this thing a big deal!?! I started to explain, "Well, Freezin got three (keeping out the fourth, don't want to be bothered) tickets cuz we're his brothers, or rather cuz I was invited anyway and Freezin got an extra ticket for Color, and we wanted to ask Twi' if she had one too, so we went looking, and I saw the storm, and then we're here after you two tackled me to the dirt." "Eheh..." Rainbow said somewhat guiltily. "We're sorry pardner, it's just that it's everypony's dream to go to the Gala, so many dreams can start there in that city" Applejack said. I reply viciously, "Yeah well it was the start of my new friendship, and the worst part of my nightmare. I will continue reliving that moment because it's the only one I have left besides the Nightmare events." This made both of them look guilty now. "I'm going to go save Twi' now, you know, so she isn't mauled to death by the town." Then I flew off, leaving cinders in the air.

The storm only started a few seconds (2 minutes) ago, so if I take a guess, seeing how she was at a cafe (newest cloud is visible there) so if anyone got to her yet, it should be Rarity. I flew down to the boutique, and before I could get down, Twi' came running out, and was stopped by Applejack, perfect... Well, I gotta know what happened, so might as well ask somepony, somepony who unexplainably knows generally everything, someone like- "Hiyah Dusk!" Still airborne, and out of shock, my wings froze for a split second, natural thing to happen to a pegasus when scared or surprised, can happen for longer periods of time but still, I fell. At least the ground is A, soft and B, 5 feet below me. And, "IMPACT!!!" I yelled. Ow... Oh god, I think the ticket flew out of my mane. I opened my eyes, and speak of the devil, the ticket's on the ground. Ugh, I think I hit my head... I had just enough time to move onto the ticket so noone can get it,  and heard words that sounded like Pinkie and Fluttershy and blacked out.

Freezin's POV:

Man, where the heck is Dusk? We split up for 2 minutes and bam, he's gone for half an hour. I sigh, "Might as well try to find someone else like Fluttershy." Color nodded in agreement. "Meh," he replied, "I say we go fly over head and look, I mean you can use a spell for that right?" I nodded but added, "But I'm not exactly 'allowed' to, only in emergencies like Nightmare Moon." He nodded in response and we walked on, except Color tripped over something. Not likes it's a body right? Wait, HOLY CRUD, THAT'S DUSK'S BODY!! "Dusk! Start talking Dusk! Say something! Anything!" Dusk started to move, showing he was still alive, that's good. I use a simple healing spell on him and he starts to stand up, his hoof to his head. "Ugh... Stupid surprises out of nowhere, I hate you sometimes... Now, what happened?" As he recollected his memories, Color gave me a confused expression; I just gave a simple shrug back. "Oh yeah," he said as he put his ticket back in his mane, he then sighed, "Well we better start running, mares'll be on us in about, 3. 2. 1." And as he said 1, a few mares screamed and that caught Color and my attention, we were suddenly looking at a group of ponies that were smiling, creepy. "That's it, time to blaze it out of here" Dusk said, grabbing two hooves, one of Color's, one of mine, and he took off at blinding speeds. He made the sharpest turns I've ever seen, dodging everyone, and when they blocked a street, he turned into the next or an alley. And in the process, Color and I were full of shock, surprise, and were barely holding on to Dusk's hooves.

After about 10 minutes of flying away, we found temporary shelter in an alley, well, somewhat, we were hiding in a very large box with holes in it, hoping for the best. "Ok Dusk, what in the name of Celestia is going on?" I asked, "And why are we avoiding every mare in Ponyville?" "Not like we're being chased by changelings, an angry mob, and 10 manticores right?" Color added. "Well," Dusk started, "I hit my head, they saw my ticket, gossip flied, I put my body over the ticket. Knowing you were my brother and were part of the Royal Staff, they suspected you had an extra ticket like Twi' does, and I'm just guessing." We waited and talked for a few minutes then we heard something/someone. We all quieted down and looked out of the holes of the box, Twilight was there. "Psst, hey Twi'!" I whispered somewhat. She started to panic, and I rolled my eyes, well I guess I can't blame her, she must've been chased. I freeze my cutiemark into the side of the box, then the ice spread and shattered, letting me get out. "PLEASE TELL ME YOU DON'T WANT A TICKET!!!" she begged, so I showed her two tickets, my own, and the spare. "Oh good, I've been being chased for a while. Now, I'm gonna guess you've been chased too." Then the box burned. I saw an angry expression on Dusk's face and- is that a blush on Color? I'm not gonna think about it. "Ugh... I just remembered," Dusk said, "you and Twi' have a telekinetic link."

I facehoofed, stupid memory. I visualize a lock and a key. I unlocked the lock and then my mind became clearer, like Twi's magic was linked to mine, for all I know it might.  'Twi, can you hear me?' I said in my mind. 'Yeah, I can hear you. I can't believe we forgot about this.' Then we heard screams, oh no. I started to panic, and Color is trying to pull back Dusk from the mob that's pulling his back hooves- OH NO! I start to help Color, and eventually we saved Dusk. Dusk's eyes started to flash an unhealthy shade of black in one eye and red in the other. He unfolded his wings and fire started to burn around him, he screeched some kind of cry, it sounded similar to a bird I once heard, but I can't remember which bird. Most covered their ears or walked away at the sight of the flames, but some still stepped forward, wanting the two final tickets. "Freezin, if you and or Twi' is gonna do something, do it now!" Oh no, limited time, now what?! Suddenly, Twilight's horn and my horn glowed, and a flash of light appeared, the next thing I know we were in the library. I find a singed Spike, a half frozen Dusk, a slightly frozen and slightly burned Color, and Twi'. "Warn us next time..." they all said simultaneously. Dusk burned the ice and I healed the burns. "Quick! Barricade all entrances!" I froze the windows and doors shut. should stay that way for a while.

Dusk's POV, 27 minutes later...

It's been a good while, I'm gonna check outside. I put my ear to the wall, it was silent. "I think we're okay for now" I said. They all nodded in agreement. So I burned down the ice door, and we walked out, pretty sure we're okay. We were HORRIBLY wrong, not even five minutes later, we ran back inside, turned the lights out and froze the door again. We all stood in the room, the pitch black room. We decided to remain silent, make it seem like we're leaving a secret exit or something like that. Then the lights flashed on and Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie were standing next to us. I instantly jumped back and spread my wings, sending cinders into the air, but instead of cinders, a ring of fire spread around my hooves, and a screeched like a bird. That's real new... Fluttershy and Rarity stepped back, Rainbow and Applejack took a small step forward, and Pinkie stood still, trying to see if she knew the bird sound. "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!!?" I screamed into the heavens, causing a lot of people in the room to flinch. "May I ask what your goal in all of this is?" Freezin asked. "Well," Rainbow started, "We want the extra ticket." Color was talking this time, "You mean these tickets?" He held up the two extra tickets. "You guys had an extra ticket?!" Everyone asked with the exception of everyone who had a ticket and Spike.  "For someone we meet..." Dusk said, as if he wants to meet this person, like they're long lost mates or something. "Can you just stop doing favors for me?!" Twilight said, "It's annoying and it won't get you the ticket!" Everyone looked down. "Sugarcube," Applejack said, "I'm mighty sorry for botherin ya, I don't want the ticket if your upset." "I don't either," Fluttershy added, "I just feel horrible we put you through all that trouble." "I as well apologize darling" Rarity said. "Me too!" Pinkie said. "That means I get the Ticket!" everyone gave her a glare and I flew up and tackled her onto the floor, "SERIOUSLY?! AFTER ALL THAT!?" She smirked, "I'm kidding, I just knew it would tick you off." I started to blush and looked down, Rainbow and Freezin suppressed a laugh. "Regardless," Twilight said, "I'm gonna solve this, Spike take a note." Spike pulled paper and a quill out of nowhere, but before Twi' could say anything. Freezin interrupted, "Just cut it short, I'm going to return these tickets because if one friend isn't going, no one is going." Twilight nodded and Spike wrote the note, enclosed two tickets, and sent it off, another note came back immediately. "My dear pupil Twilight, why didn't you just say so?" he pulled out 6 tickets, "6 tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala!!!" Everyone cheered and got their tickets, another note appeared, I looked at it and read it aloud, "And one for you Spike." I chuckled, that was funny. "Well, I'm gonna set off" I said to everyone. I spread my wings and they hit something else, I flinched. Oh if they're Rainbow's wings again... AND, they are... we blushed deeply and set off without anther word, everyone else giggling or laughing, I sigh, this time between now and the gala is gonna be interesting.
