Drama at the Grand Galloping Gala.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next morning:
A loud scream could be heard throughout the castle, the scream came from Stephen and John's room.
"What's going on?" Cumulus asked once she reached Stephen and John's room.
"Well this is a very interesting way of meeting Stephen Hawking" John joked.
Cumulus rolled her eyes at John. "Why did you scream?" Cumulus asked Stephen.
"It wasn't me that screamed it was John who screamed," Stephen said, to Cumulus.
"What happened sugarcube?" Applejack asked.
"I had this terrible nightmare about somepony named Nightmare moon," Stephen said, to Applejack.
Twilight's eyes grew wide as she listened to every word that was spoken.
"You had that same nightmare as I did," Twilight said, with a shocked expression on her face.
"But it must mean something," Stephen said, to Twilight.
"Hey girls the train for Canterlot leaves in 10 minutes, so you better get ready," Rarity called from her room.
"Stephen I was afraid this would happen," Twilight said, as she went to get ready.
"Let's get you dressed," John said, to Stephen.
A couple of minutes later the ponies came back into Stephen's room, John was putting the finishing touches on Stephen's jacket, when he was done he looked up and his jaw dropped at the sight of the girls dresses the ponies where dressed in very nice dresses. Twilight's dresse was purple with blue at the bottom of the dress, Applejack's dress was brown and she was wearing boots to match the dress, Fluttershy's dress was yellow with her cuteie mark embroidered on it, Rainbow's dress was also very simple it was blue with Rainbow's cuteie mark embroidered on it, Rarity's dress was a very elegant design. Pinkie pie's was a pink dress with lollipops on it.
"WOW you look amazing," John said, to the ponies.
"Where are the boys?" Stephen asked.
Stephen was wearing a black tuxsido. John was wearing a suit with black a stripe on each arm.
"They are getting....Twilight trailed off once she saw Stephen.
Twilight's jaw dropped once her eyes fell upon John.
"Oh my god," Twilight thought to herself.
"Hey Twilight are you alright?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," Twilight replied with a smile at Stephen.
"Who's ready to go to Canterlot?" Scootaloo asked.
"We are so excited to go to Canterlot for the Grand Galloping Gala," Cumulus and the Dash siblings exclaimed in unison.
"Rock on" Stephen said, to Scootaloo.
"Let's do this," John added.
"Now you're talking" Spike said, to John.
At the train station: "We're here!" Screwball said, to Stephen.
"Yay!" the tri-pies said, in unison.
"This is going to be so awesome!" Soarin said, with a smile at his wife.
Pinkie Pie and her daughters were bouncing up and down in excitement.
Stephen looked over and saw Applejack and Spike talking and laughing together, Stephen wished he could do the same, but yet he couldn't do what the others were doing, because of his disability.
"Hey Stephen is somethin' wrong?" Cinnamon roll asked.
"Sadly there is," Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll.
"What's wrong sugar?" Cinnamon roll asked.
"I can not do what the others are doing because of my disability," Stephen said, to Cinnamon roll.
"Oh sugarcube don't let that get ya down," Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen.
"Thanks Cinnamon roll, I needed to hear that," Stephen said, with a smile at Cinnamon roll.
"You're welcome sugar," Cinnamon roll replied with a smile.
"This is going to be the best Grand Galloping Gala ever" Cinnamon roll said, to Stephen once they were on the train.
Once in Canterlot: "This is going to be the best night ever," John said, with a glance over at Stephen.
"Yeah I know," Stephen replied with a smile.
"So awesome," John added.
The friends were walking up to the castle, when they reached the castle one of the royal guards opened the big castle doors.
"WOW," John marveled, once they were inside and on the castle grounds.
Since this was Stephen and John's first time attending the Grand Galloping Gala, Twilight had to go over the rules and recommendations, but she was hoping that tonight wouldn't be a disaster like the first Grand Galloping Gala was.
"And here's to hoping that Stephen and John don't cause any trouble tonight" Twilight thought to herself as the friends were walking.
Stephen smiled at Cinnamon Roll who smiled back.
"So awesome," Stephen said, to John.
"You took the words right out of my mouth," John said, to Stephen.
"Stephen remember what we talked about on the train," Fluttershy said, to Stephen with a knowing glance.
"Yes Fluttershy I will try to be on my best behavior," Stephen said, to Fluttershy.
"Oh and John you shouldn't drink too much alcohol," Fluttershy said, to John with a knowing grin.
"Ok Fluttershy I will try to not drink so much alcohol," John said, to the yellow pegasus.
Fluttershy smiled to herself as the friends where walking into the ballroom for the castle.
The ballroom was very elegantly decorated with balloons and streamers and in the middle of the ballroom stood a stage.
Once inside the ballroom, where the festivities were to be held.
"WOW so awesome," John said, to Stephen.
Next to Stephen there stood an orange earth pony with green hair and green reptilian eyes.
The colt looked up at Stephen.
"Hi my name is AppleScript, what's your name?" the colt asked Stephen with a smile.
"My name is Stephen Hawking, cosmologist, physicist and something of a dreamer," Stephen said, with a smile at AppleScript
AppleScript looked at Stephen confusedly because he didn't understand what Stephen meant.
"Sugar I'm not sure that AppleScript understood what ya meant," Applejack said, to Stephen. "
Ok whatever," Stephen said, to AppleScript
"AppleScript don't bother Professor Stephen Hawking" Spike said, to his son.
"It's fine," Stephen said, to Spike.
"Ok if ya say so," Spike said, to Stephen.
When Twilight finished greeting the guests who were attending the Grand Galloping Gala, she walked over to her friends and their families.
"Where are the Dashes?" Twilight asked.
"They're coming to the Grand Galloping Gala with the Wonderbolts," Screwball said, to Twilight.
"And there they are," AppleScript said, pointing to the sky.
The Wonderbolts landed outside on the ground in front of the castle.
"But I thought that the Dash family got on the train with all of us." Stephen said, to Twilight.
"Well yes they did but they got off the train before we got off," Applejack said, to Stephen.
"We're here" Prism said, to her parents.
"Where are the CMC, shouldn't they be at the Grand Galloping Gala too?" Thunder Dash asked his parents.
"Yes, but remember that the CMC are going to perform tonight," Soarin said, to his son.
"Oh yeah that's right" Thunder said, to his father as they were walking in to the ballroom.
Once the Dash family was in the ballroom:
"Rainbow Dash I missed you so much," Pinkie Pie said, as she hugged Rainbow tightly.
"Pinkie I missed you too," Rainbow said, once Pinkie had let go of her.
"Ya know it's almost heart's warmin' eve," Applejack announced.
"This year is going to be so awesome, because Stephen and John will be there as well," Soarin said, with a smile at Stephen.
"Oh yeah, rock on," Stephen said, with a smile.
"He's a big fan of the CMC, so he's practicing for their concert tonight," John legend.
"Well I'm also a really big fan of the CMC, especially my Aunt Scootaloo," Prism happiy announced.
Stephen rolled his eyes and said: "Yeah I know, you talk about her all the time"
"Stephen there's someone here to see you," John whispered to Stephen.
"Who is it?" Stephen asked.
"See for yourself," John said, to Stephen as he turned Stephen's wheelchair to face his wife.
Jane was wearing a dress that went down to the floor, Jane was a tall women, She had black hair and blue eyes.
"What's she doing here?" Stephen asked John.
"I don't know, but I assume she's here to talk to you," john said, to Stephen.
Jane glared at Stephen.
"Why did you do it?" Jane asked.
"What did I do?" Stephen asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You know exactly what you did, don't play innocent with me!" bellowed still glaring at Stephen.
"But dearest I didn't want to hurt you," Stephen said, to Jane.
"Just leave me alone," Jane yelled as she ran outside and into the Garden.
Jane and Stephen weren't really talking to each other after they got married, and everything fell apart once Jane gave birth to their son, shortly after Stephen found out that they were having a baby boy, he had a nervous breakdown, after Jane was home from the hospital for a few weeks, Stephen stopped talking to Jane completely, his care givers didn't know what to do, he wouldn't eat or sleep.
Applejack followed Jane out into the garden, Jane was standing in the middle of the garden and she was crying, Applejack slowly approached her from behind.
"What's wrong sugarcube?" Applejack asked.
"You heard all that?" Jane asked.
"Y'all were pretty loud," Applejack said, to Jane.
"What happened between ya two?" Applejack asked.
"Well after I gave birth to our son, Stephen stopped talking to me, his care giver at the time told me that Stephen was having a nervous breakdown, but I knew she wasn't telling me the truth, so something must have happened but I was not to know of it," Jane cried.
"Well why don't ya find out," Applejack mumbled.
But Jane heard Applejack said that and said, "That's a good idea, thanks Applejack,"
"You're welcome," Applejack said, with a smile.
Meanwhile: "So uncool dude," Spike lectured.
"Stephen Spike's right you know, that wasn't cool at all what you did," Scootaloo added.
The others nodded in agreement.
"I know that I shouldn't have done what I did," Stephen said, to Scootaloo.
"Then why did ya do it in the first place?" Applejack asked.
They were all standing at the bar, that was set up so the ponies could get something to drink.
"Well I don't really know," Stephen said, with a glance over at John, in the hope that John would help him.
John took notice of that and shrugged.
"I'm sorry but I can't help you with your problems with lady Jane," John said, to Stephen.
Stephen rolled his eyes.
"Fine," was the last thing Stephen said, before his computer shut off.
"What's goin' on?" Applejack asked.
"Stephen's computer has run out of juice, so that means Stephen can no longer talk until I get his charger and plug it in, but it will need sometime to get from 1 percent to 100 percent," John explained with a glance over at Stephen who didn't look happy at all.
"What's wrong sugar?," Cinnamon roll asked Stephen.
When there came no answer, Cinnamon roll looked at John with a big question mark in her eyes.
I thought I just told you," John barked.
"Whoa dude chill out," Twilight spoke in a soft tone of voice.
Meanwhile: Cumulus was talking to Jane.
"So I guess I understand what you're going through," Cumulus said, to Jane.
"Thanks for the tip, I will be sure to tell Stephen how I feel," Jane said, to Cumulus.
"Any time, if you have a problem I can help," Cumulus said, as she turned and walked away to go and find Nick.
Nick was playing with the tri-pies and AppleScript.
Cumulus walked towards the sound of Nick laughing, once she was close enough to hear what they were saying to each other, she cleared her throat loudly, Nick turned around to see Cumulus with her hands on her hips.
"Hi Cue, we were just talking about how much drama has been going on this week," Nick said, to Cumulus.
"I heard you talking about how much drama is going on this week, and I also heard you say something about this year's heart's warming eve party," Cumulus said, to her husband.
"Oh yeah I almost forgot tell you what I plann for heart's warming eve this year," Nick said, to his wife.
"Nick your grammar," Cumulus reminded him.
"I'm sorry, its a habit," Nick said, to Cumulus.
AppleScript looked at Nick with a confused look on his face.
Nick took a deep breath and began telling his story.
Meanwhile: The others were talking to Stephen and John.
"So Stephen your really not going to apologize to Jane?" Sweetie Belle asked Stephen.
"No, I won't apologize for what I did to her," Stephen replied.
"Ok, if you won't say it, I will" John said, in a stern voice.
"Go ahead, see if I care," Stephen said, to John.
"Stephen William Hawking I don't like the way you're talking to me!" John said, putting his hands on his hips.
"Your not my mother!" Stephen said, to John.
John gasped at what he just heard.
"Stephen I'm going to take you to your room and you're going to stay there until you've learned some respect," John lectured.
"Fine, see if I care," Stephen said, as John walked away with him.
