Raven and His Lovable Fools

by Lunar Raven

Arrival

Previous Chapter

When we last left our heroes(wait, you are still here?), Raven was absolutely flabbergasted as to how Derpy could possibly defy logic and shoot food and drink products like a bullet in his direction. Thankfully for him, he was able to get onto the ground, but that still did not make the prospect of cleaning up Derpy’s mess anymore exciting in his eyes.

I shall not bore you with the clean-up, because I do not even want to go through it myself(seriously, Raven complains too much sometimes), but thankfully our heroes are arriving into Ponyville shortly, and so we shall resume our tale at their arrival to the town in question.


“Ever get the feeling that you were just insulted by someone, somewhere?” Raven asks his companions as they unload their luggage, and hop off of the way-too-colorful Friendship Express(still a dumb name).

“Nope. I think you are just that much of a prick that it happens that way,” Sweetie Drops quips.

“He is not too bad,” Derpy says in his defense.

“No, I am a prick, that is a very accurate description. In any case, what is your name this time around? I never asked due to a certain somepony’s distractions,” He responds and inquires, talking to Sweetie Drops.

“Bon-Bon of course. Did you not read the memo either?” Bon-Bon asks.

“No,” He says.

“You should probably do that in the future,” She states.

“Why should I? The briefings usually cover the important details, and anything else I can just ask of you,” He replies.

“You are impossible sometimes, you know that?” She says.

“Thank you for the compliment my fair mare,” He states with an exaggerated bow, causing Derpy to chuckle.

“You look like a laypony seeing Celestia for the first time!” Derpy exclaims.

“Except this one is not even of comparison-” He begins, before getting smacked.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Bon-Bon says.

“I was going to say that you are of no comparison to how much of a rolled-over puppy she is on every single matter in the book,” He says, to a glare. “Okay fine, I was going to make a joke that she was more regal than you, but the former statement stands,” He finishes with a grin.

“I am not even going to bother with addressing the implications of that comment. We have to find a place to stay, after all. I am going to assume that you did not bother checking for accommodations, did you Raven?” She asks rhetorically.

“That was my job?” He asks.

“I really need to start violating protocol or getting it changed,” She says after facehoofing.

“Cheer up there Sw..Bon-Bon! If all else fails, I am sure that we can offer enough bits to a townspony to allow us to stay in their house!” Derpy states.

“She has a point,” He points out.

“And potentially make us compromised in the process? I suppose if we find one of the six rainbow girls or whoever they are then they would be a safe bet, but potentially putting them in harm’s way is not my cup of tea,” Bon-Bon responds.

“You drink tea?” He asks.

“Figure of speech,” Bon-Bon replies.

“Why not use one more accurate?” He inquires.

BB: “Because I do not care.”

R: “You should.”

BB: “Shut up.”

R: “I do not want to though.”

BB: “You are incredibly annoying.”

R: “Hello pot, my name is kettle.”

“Both of you be quiet!” Derpy, surprisingly, yells, causing the two to look at her, and just then realize that they have become quite the scene in the middle of the train station. “Come on, let us go get something to eat. I heard that Sugar Cube Corner has amazing muffins!” She continues, pushing her two companions along.

“Derpy, we can walk, you know,” Raven says after being pushed out of the train station, yet still being pushed.

“For once we agree,” Bon-Bon also states.

“Oh, right! Sorry!” Derpy replies with her signature sheepish grin.

“In any case, you mentioned a Sugar Cube Corner?” Bon-Bon asks Derpy, her eyes lighting up when the topic went back to it.

“Oh yes! I have only heard of the rumors since the meany princess never let us visit this town sooner, but apparently the owner, one of the Harmony Keepers, helps to run that store, and that they have the best muffins and other sweets in all of Equestria! I have been wanting to try their muffins ever since I first heard about it!” Derpy excitedly explains.

“Sounds like diabetes waiting to happen based off the name, but still, I am always for a simple muffin. Lead the way, Derpy, unless you have any objections, pot,” Raven says.

“None at all, Kettle,” Bon-Bon replies with a grin, Raven doing the same back to her before they realize a particular pegasus zooming away towards the place in question.

“Typical Derpy..” The two ponies say in unison, before hurrying after her to not get lost, not realizing how impossible that would actually be.


And so, our heroes progress towards Sugar Cube Corner, not realizing the fact that the whole town appeared to be abandoned, save for those who got off the train alongside them. What could this mean? Did the whole town get “infected,” with some disease they are unaware of? Were they in hiding from an evil enchantress? Did a long-imprisoned villain get released from Tartarus by a particular purple unicorn on accident? Okay, fine, all of those scenarios are pretty silly, but I am just going off of what I am reading on the internet. There are a lot of interesting things to read, I must say.

Anyway, the answer to what happened will be answered soon enough, I just felt like coming in and giving off pointless banter to increase the word count and to avoid a rather pointless transition speel about running through said abandoned town. Hopefully I am not shot by a moderator with no sense of humor, as a dead narrator would make an already crappy tale even more crappy.

Now then, as they arrive at Sugar Cube Corner..


“I think we are missing some important information,” Bon-Bon states as they try to catch their breath, having caught up with Derpy who was patiently(if you call fidgety being patient) waiting for their arrival to Diabetes-R-Us.

“I knew I was not crazy!” Raven exclaims in victory.

“No, you are simply insane. You are my lovingly-insane companion,” Bon-Bon replies.

“Hardy har-har. Anyway, I suppose we should go ahead and go in, since Derpy is likely going to blow up from excitement if we do not hurry up and go inside,” Raven says with a chuckle, pointing to the bouncing Derpy.

“You and your muffins Derpy..” Bon-Bon states with a shaking of her head. “Alright, let us get going inside,” She continues, heading towards the door. As they enter into the building in question, the darkness within was rather unnerving to them.

“What the hel-” Raven begins, before the lights suddenly come on, and an obnoxiously pink pony and seemingly the whole town yells “SURPRISE!”

“You have got to be kidding me..” Raven mutters, facehoofing and groaning as Bon-Bon does similar, and Derpy..does Derpy things, before the metaphorical curtain falls on Chapter 2, to continue when I, the narrator, care to continue it, pursuant to whether or not you lot want me to continue, and whether or not the moderators decide to shoot me.


Author's Note

Hey, guess what I never wrote? An Author's Note!

Though, there is not really much to write here. I got my first dislike, which is always a good sign, but beyond that, thank you for reading, and if you want to make a comment down below, I always enjoy reading the various bashing methods of others, so feel free to do so.

Have a blessed one!
