Sparks cracked from the fire which illuminated the silhouettes of ponies against the wall and floor. The burning blaze was the only source of light as lightning sparked and thunder boomed outside. Rain pelted the glass with a piercing 'tlack' noise as a shriveled lilac colored pony approached the group. "I'm sorry folks, Rivers flooded...." The mare wheezed "Train is going to be delayed for a while."
"Does that mean were not going to the fair" A childish voice rose up, coming from a Golden yellow filly.
"I don't know, Maybe..." The mare above her answered.
"Damn it, Now I'll never sell my wares now" A unicorn muttered
"Same here" Another unicorn agreed "My Rival is going to steal all the sales for Honey."
The same unicorn then pulled out a picture of a bony twisted looking pony with a long thin pointed mustache that was bent in many places. She put the picture down. Lightning flashed through the room as the Orange Unicorn with a Brown mane brought a large wooden hammer down on the picture while screaming the name "WASPARATU!"
A Brown pony in a tacky tropical T-shirt leapt back screaming "Woah Lady! Hold your humans!"
"Rowdy bunch aren't we" A pony wrapped up in cloth answered
"I think we are a bit high spirited..." A pegasus muttered in a thick Northern accent
:"Mhmmmm, I 'gree with you there" Agreed another pony from the back of the room.
The lights flickered back on as an old stallion trudged back inside wet without a word, heading into the bathroom. "Well, We have Power. Guess I'll make supper for you all." The old Lillac mare declared before walking off.
The ponies looked at one another as the fire crackled on. Each taking in one another's appearance as they looked around. The silence was only interrupted by the sound of rain.
"Well, Why don't we introduce our selves. I'll start." The Brown Tacky T-shirt pony broke the silence. The Stallion was wearing 2 necklaces, One of Seashells and another of Bottle caps. His coat was brown and his mane short and green and looked like moss. Adorned on his flank was a Seashell and Comb "Name's Comber, Came up with it myself."
" Name is 'Jackpot', Luckiest Colt of Las Pegasus" A blue unicorn winked, His mane was short and sleek, black with a grey streak. He wore shades to cover his eyes and a fedora on top his head. His cutie mark was a pair of dice with the dots at one and six, behind the dice was a burning lemon.
"Blink" The pegasus with the Northern accent replied. Her coat was dirty, but the white shone through. Her mane was a grimy orange and in tattered lengthes. Her cutie mark showed three swirls that met at the center.
"I know you, 3rd in the Manehatten Cloud Kicking Competition. Breathes out the funny purple clouds that knocked out the judges" The other pegasus replied, His coat signified that he was a Zebra yet his Mane was in a light fuzz what seemed to be royal purple. His cutie mark appeared to be a continous line that formed a star and another star inside the star.
"If you are talking about my disability, Yes.... I happen to breathe poison gas...." Blink responded
"OP! SHE IS OVERPOWERED! BAN HER! BAN HER!" Comber started shouting out loud.
"Disability? You knocked them out cold because you got beat by..." The Zebrasus started
"Don't saw her name..." Blink warned
"... Spitfire" He finished
"Why do you have to say her name" Blink groaned
"OVERPOWERED!"
"WASPARATU!"
"Hey, Quiet!" The pony wearing the cloth bundles yelled, silencing the other ponies.
"Anyway" The Zebrasus coughed "Names Star Crosser"
The three ponies, Orange, Golden Yellow and Normal yellow, stood up. The First was the youngest, A pegasus filly with her mane in pigtails that alternated between Dandelion Yellow and Black "I'm Honeybee"
The Middle Sister stood up, An average looking pony with a Normal Yellow coat with a Gold mane with Red highlights. Her flank had a Honeycomb on it and 2 bees "I'm Honeycomb". She also added with a whisper "Aka: Equestria's BEST Honey Wrestler"
The Eldest sister stood up. Different from her stockier sister, Her limbs were thin and she was taller. Under the brown mane of hers was a horn. Her flank showed a Jar of Honey with a stick in it "Honey Wand at your Service"
The last of the Ponies was the pony wrapped up, Only his eyes peered out of his clothes. His body was wrapped in chain armour and heavy clothing. Only his Baby blue colored horn popped out "Striker is what my Teammates call me"
Comber seemed giddy "Ohhhh, I can see we have lots of stories to tell." He Proceeded to pull out a glass soda bottle before saying, Starting to stare and test it out "Now, What are you guys going to do at the fair?"
"Make some money" Jackpot responded in a cool manner
"Our family always go. It's Tradition" Honeycomb responded
"Meeting my ex-girlfriend there and catching up. I spent too much time away in Tramplevania" Striker answered, feeling proud.
"Win all the flying competitions." Blink answered, turning to Comber who still studied the bottle "Are you done with that?"
"Not yet. I'm heading out to cure my Taco induced Mermare curse" Comber replied
"What?" Honeybee asked
"Are on some sort of Medication or something? I believe you lost your mind sir..." Star Crosser agreed "I'm just out to see my mother. Owns a nice little Tea shop in Ponyville. Figured I would go during the festival."
"That's nice of you" Honeywand said, tossing the picture of her rival into the fire
"Whatever floats your boat, Stripes..." Blink uttered, seemingly bored as she lazed on the ground"
"Is it ready?" Striker asked as another crack of lightning glowed outside
"Who needs to study a bottle anyway?" Jackpot questioned.
"Done!" Comber replied, Placing it on the ground. He brought his hoof up, then swiped it down as the bottle spin. It finally stopped, Pointing at.....
