Heroes travels

Princess Celestia was in the royal library, looking for the perfect act to perform on Ashley as payback for situation earlier at breakfast. She searched far and wide, looking at the names of almost every book in the library.

It has to be here somewhere...

Her efforts were futile. She had been searching for a while now, finding books that did have some funny things she could do to him. She found spell that could turn her victim drunk within a few seconds.

Hmmmm...I wonder what Ashley would be like if he was intoxicated...Probably wouldn’t have much effect on his personality. Besides, the spell has a drawback on the caster so I’d become intoxicated as well. Not the best thing for revenge.

She continued her search until she found what she was looking for. The book was hardcover, royal blue and looked to be brand new. It was most likely a rewritten or updated version of the original book which she kept in the library elsewhere so that none could ruin it.

Ah! Found you.

She levitated the book labelled ‘How to prank: Masters Guide’ to a nearby table and opened it. Browsing through the contents page...

Celestia decided to go to her favourite part of the book which was entitled after her since the author and herself were good friends at the time the original book was written...

Page 432-460 Celestia’s favourite tools of destruction...

Celestia let out a quiet laugh “Prepare yourself Ashley...nopony is a match for me...well...Almost nopony.”

She closed the book and teleported to her private chambers with it, plotting which one she would pick.

Ashley, Luna and Rainbow were talking about what happened at breakfast even though it had already been a around over an hour since Celestia left.

“So Ashley...” Luna levitated a cup of tea to her lips, taking a sip before speaking once more “Do you have any plans for today?”

Ashley took a sip of his tea with his pinkie finger out. “Mmmyes. I believe I do.” He spoke in his posh voice “I wish to make my return back to Ponyville to negotiate with my dear friend Callum.”

Luna and Rainbow giggled a bit at Ashley’s impression.

“Why do you do those voices?” Luna asked.

“Hmm?” Ashley cocked an eyebrow, setting his tea on the table before turning his voice to be more southern like Applejack’s “Heck...Ah don’t know. Maybe it’s all because ah find it funny.”

“What other voices can you do?”

Turning his voice back to normal “I do a few but I only do them if I feel like it. I don’t care who is around me, I just do it because I used to do it as a kid with Callum.”

“That makes sense I guess.” Luna took another sip of her tea “Do you feel well enough to go back to Ponyville?”

“I feel great. Sure the nightmare freaks me out at first but having you two and the friends back in Ponyville make me not think about them...”

“Well, if you think you’re okay now then I’ll get Night Wing and Solar to prepare some transport for you.”

“Can’t you just teleport us?” Rainbow asked.

“Oh. Right, forgot about that.” Luna awkwardly smiled.

“I want to talk to Night Wing.” Ashley spoke up, looking at Luna.

“Excuse me?”

“I’d like to speak with Night Wing.”

“Fine...I’ll let you settle your differences with him...”

“Thanks, but I’d also like to smash his-“ Ashley interrupted.

“I’m not done.” Luna held her hoof up at Ashley, gaining control of the conversation “You are not to harm him.”

“AWW COME ON! Just one punch at least!” Ashley shot up from his seat quickly, slamming his hands on the table as he pleaded.

“Ashley. This is an order.” Luna scowled. She stared at him sternly to which Ashley returned. Both of them were up in each other’s faces, waiting for the other to back down.

“One. Punch.”

“No.

“One Punch in the arm.”

“No.”

“Fine...I get to punch Solar for setting Callum on fire then.”

“No.”

“...”

“I’m not backing down Ashley.”

“Neither am I.”

Rainbow Dash was awkwardly watching the heated moment, she didn’t want to get involved but she knew she probably would have to. If not then she would get dragged into it.

“Fine...Tell me the surprise you had in store then.”

“No.”

“It’s either that or I punch Night Wing.”

“No...F-fine. I’ll tell you the surprise.” Luna sighed in defeat. Ashley smiled a bit from his victory, Rainbow however sighed as well, glad that the moment was calming down.

“Alright...How can I put this...”

“Just say it.” Ashley returned to his seat.

“Me and Celestia think that...Each of us should...”

“Each of us what?” Ashley cocked an eyebrow.

“You know what? I’ll just say it.” Luna took a deep breath “Assign you two with Solar and Night Wing.” Luna winced, expecting Ashley to flip his lid.

Ashley sat there in silence as he clenched his fists in anger.  Luna noticed his fists while Rainbow Dash was starting to worry about her human friend.

“Ash...” Rainbow said worryingly “Take it easy...”

“Tell me.” Ashley said quietly to Luna. You could hear the anger in his voice “Tell me all of it.”

Luna gulped, taking another deep breath “Since Night Wing is my most skilled unicorn guard. You’re going to be paired up with him when I need an escort or whenever I need you. Both of you will listen to my orders and follow them but are capable of being able to object to my sisters. The same will apply to Callum and Solar but they will take all orders from Celestia but can object to mine.” She prepared herself again for Ashley to express his anger

“...Why?” he said calmly “It’s obvious me and Callum work better as a team of two...”

“It was only going to be temporary. It’s only to help you and Callum to get along better with Solar and Night Wing.”

Ashley ran his hand over his head and let out a sigh. He looked towards Rainbow who was staring at him with a worrying smile.

“I’ll accept...If I can punch Night Wing once in the arm.”

“Please Ashley. Don’t do that.” She pleaded, her head hung slightly in the attempt of making Ashley think otherwise.

“No. I’m going to punch him.” He looked at Luna whose head was hanging. He started to feel guilty let alone he remembered that he was going against her orders. Even though he hadn’t accepted that role yet, he was still a guard. A guard that obeys the princesses. He sighed, speaking in calmer voice “Fine...” He noticed Luna look up “I’ll promise not to punch him. BUT...” He held his finger to emphasise he wasn’t finished. “I’m only doing it because...Reasons...”

Luna smiled weakly, raising her head back to normal “I’m glad that we came to an agreement.”

“Sooo....” Rainbow said awkwardly “What should we do now?”

“Simple.” Luna got out from her seat, walking next to Rainbow Dash “I’m sending you back to Ponyville.” She extended her hoof “Grab my hoof.”

Rainbow done so as Luna’s horn grew bright. Ashley shielded his eyes with his hand as the light grew brighter before it faded, leaving Luna’s signature blue mist flowing where she once stood.

Location: Sweet Apple Acres

Callum, Applejack and Big Mac were working on the farm. Callum knew that the day was going to be boring without Ash so he decided to volunteer at Sweet Apple Acres. At first, Applejack refused his help, saying that she and Big Mac could handle it. Callum didn’t have any of this and helped out anyway, saying that it was to kill time and that it was going to be free labour on her part. She decided to let him help out, carrying the apples from the trees she bucked.

Callum had been working at the farm for a couple of hours. It was a good work out. Being out in the wide, open space of the farm, the fresh scent of apples greeted his nose not to mention that he was lifting heavy loads but they didn’t strain him. Big Mac was impressed at how efficient Callum was at the job. He guessed that they would finish today’s work within the next half hour.

With Callum’s help, Applejack and Big Mac now had more time to do whatever they wanted. They were all resting next to the barn, each with a mug of cider in their grasp. Callum took his first sip of the beverage. The warm crisp taste of the apple cider drowned his taste buds as the fizz of the liquid tickled his tongue slightly. He didn’t think if this was alcoholic cider or not but he didn’t care either way. For starters, it was too early to drink and secondly, it didn’t leave a bad after taste like the cider back on Earth.

“So, do y’all like it?” Applejack asked, wiping the foam from her drink that was around her mouth with her hoof.

“Pretty damn good.” Callum replied before taking another sip, savouring the golden liquid in his mouth for a moment before swallowing. He let out a sigh “Tastes better than the stuff back home as far as I can tell.”

“Thank ya’ kindly Callum. Not every day we have somepony from another world compliment our cider.”

“Eeyup.” Big Mac took a sip of his cider.

Callum rested his back against the barn, crossing his legs. He looked over the horizon towards Ponyville, seeing the dots of the citizens doing their routines and pegasi flying through the clear sky. The three of them were having small talk as they drank their cider. As soon as Callum finished his, he said his farewells and headed towards Ponyville, followed by Applejack.

It took them a while but they made it. The town centre was filled with ponies shuffling up and down the busy streets. Market stalls were dotted around the area as ponies were buying the merchandise that stood on them. As they walked around, guards would often strike up a small conversation with Callum. Most of them began with asking what happened to Ashley but Callum politely told them he was fine.

Both mare and human walked past the school house. Cheerilee saw Callum, reminding herself of both humans visit on Friday. She knew that a couple of her pupils were going to ask Ashley about his dream now, only because she saw some of the questions that were being prepared already. Some were questions about their home world and their lives back then.

As Applejack and Callum continued through the town, talking about various things, they saw a bright light appear in front of them. Those who looked towards the light either looked away or shielded their eyes. As the light died down, Princess Luna and Rainbow Dash stood where it once was. Luna used her teleportation spell once more to get Ashley, leaving her signature blue mist which sent shivers down Rainbow’s spine. Both Callum and Applejack approached the cyan pegasus.

“Hey Rainbow Dash.” Callum waved

“Oh hey Callum, hey A.J.”

“Howdy R.D." Applejack tipped her Stetson towards the cyan pegasus "How'd it go with the princesses?"

“Oh it went fine. Ashley freaked out a little from some news that Luna told him but he said he’s fine to come back to Ponyville so Luna is going to bring him here any second.”

“That’s good to hear.” Callum smiled

“Oh yeah, he wants to talk to you about something Cal. Oh and A.J. During our visit, he threatened Blueblood.”

“Wait what?” Applejack asked confusingly “What made him go an’ do that?”

“Blueblood was being a jerk to some mare because she had an accident so Ash stood up for her. It was so freaking funny!” Dash laughed a bit, remembering the face of horror on Blueblood at the time “Ashley didn’t even care that it was the prince!”

“Sounds like Ash’s back to normal.” Callum grinned. Shortly after, the same light from before came back. Everyone shielded their eyes until the light disappeared, leaving Ashley and Luna in its place.

“Sup Cal?” Ashley greeted his friend with a nod

“Not much bro. You needed to speak to me?”

“Yeah, come over here.” He gestured his friend away from the others. Luna decided to take up a conversation with Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

“Alright...Did Rainbow Dash tell you what happened at all?”

“She’s only told me about you and the prince. Nice job by the way.” Callum raised his hand for a high five.

“Thanks.” Ashley high fived, shoving his hand in his pocket “Now, this morning...Celestia tried to be a bit funny.”

“What did she do?”

“Well, I had some oatmeal on my cheek from my oatmeal at breakfast because I decided to ditch utensils and went face first into the bowl because I say Rainbow panicking a bit about the rest of us using said utensils.”

“Being a good friend like always.” Callum smiled, getting a nod from Ashley “Go on.”

“Well...Here’s the bit I found the best. Luna wiped a bit of oatmeal that was on my cheek with a napkin and Celestia said, and I quote ‘You two would make a cute couple’.”

“Heh, that’s brilliant timing.” Callum chuckled

“It gets better.” Ashley smirked.

“Oh really?”

“My comeback was ‘So you would you and Callum, Celestia. I can imagine the child being a half human, half pony with horns and wings and flowing mane’. You should’ve seen her reaction, it was priceless!” Ashley began to laugh a bit, remembering her face when he came back at her.

At this point, Callum was struggling to breathe from his laughter, grabbing the attention of Luna, Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

“What the hay are those two talkin’ about?” Applejack shot a look of curiosity towards Luna and Rainbow Dash.

“Most likely what happened this morning.”Luna spoke in an amused tone.

“What happened this morning?”

“Well...It all started at breakfast...” Rainbow started to tell the story to Applejack.

***

“What happened next?” Callum finally stifled his laughter

“Well...She tried to counter me by saying that me and Rainbow Dash would make a cuter couple.”

“That’s a good one. Not as good as yours though.” Callum chuckled a bit. Both humans noticed the laughter from Applejack, Luna and Rainbow Dash.

“It gets better...”

“Oh god...” Callum smiled “What did you do?”

“Weeelllll...I sort of said that her and Twilight would make an even better couple than you and herself.”

“Ba-hahaha!” Callum clutched his sides from the laughter. Both humans were getting odd looks from nearby ponies and the group of mares they were with earlier.

***

“Then Celestia said that me and Ash would make a cute couple!” Rainbow said

Applejack chuckled a bit “Y’know sugarcube, you two would make a good couple.”

“WHAT?!” Rainbow dash yelled defensively.

“Ah’m just playin’ with ya’ sugarcube.” Applejack giggled a bit, as did Luna. Rainbow Dash was blushing slightly but she felt lucky that nopony saw it.

***

“Oh man...” Callum stabilised his laughing fit, jerking a tear of joy “I wish I was there. Oh that reminds me, we need to get our prank back on. It’s been a long time.”

“Good news for you Cal, I was going to ask you to help me with a prank or two.”

“Sweet! Who’s the victim?”

“Princess Celestia.”

“You’re kidding?” Ashley shook his head “Oh boy.” Callum started to rub his hands together with a mischievous grin “This gonna be good!”

“Here’s the thing, Celestia said at breakfast that ‘this isn’t over.’ So she’s going to get back at me and I need your help for this one.”

“I’m all ears.”

Ashley put his mouth next to Callum’s ear, whispering his plan against the sun goddess. After a brief moment of discussion, both humans shook hands, promising not to tell anyone of their plan. Applejack was in a laughing fit while Luna was giggling, Rainbow was smiling towards Ashley as he approached.

“Right. We’re set.” Ashley spoke up. Applejack’s laughter was calming down as Luna turned serious.

“Did you tell him about the Night Wing situation?” She asked.

Callum’s cheerful expression to one of concern “What Night Wing situation?”

“Callum. Promise you won’t freak out.” Ashley grabbed hold of his friends chin, rotating his face towards his own for eye contact.

“I promise, now spill the beans.”

Ashley sighed, letting go of his friends chin “I’m being partnered up with Night Wing while you’re going with Solar.”

“...Okay...What else?” He spoke calmly but you could tell he was bottling his emotions.

“It’s to make us work better with those two and is temporary.” Hearing Callum sigh in relief, he continued “Night and I will follow orders of Luna and if we want, defy against Celestia’s. The same applies to you and Solar but you listen to Celestia.

“Alright I guess.” Callum shrugged “I’m only doing it to get it over with.”

“Glad you came to an agreement as well Callum.” Luna spoke, her horn started to glow faintly “I must return to Canterlot and tell my sister that you both agreed. Farewell.”

“See you later.” Both humans said in unison, waving. The light grew brighter as everyone covered their eyes. Luna left her blue mist in her place as it started to fade away.

“They really need to stop blinding us.” Callum said, he turned towards Rainbow Dash “So...Shall we check out that club?”

“Sure.” Rainbow gestured the humans to follow her. Applejack decided to go check on Twilight to tell her that Ashley's returned.

The club wasn’t far away from where they were, around a five minute walk. The large sign said “Neon’s”. Looking closely, the humans could tell that the sign would light up during the night to make it more noticeable. Rainbow Dash told them a bit about the club, what it’s like on Fridays and that it’s even better on Saturdays as well as a bit about the owner. Neon was described as one of those people that can take a joke but will deal them out as well and that you don’t want to get on the wrong side of her. A bit of a drinker but always responsible and only drank after the club closed or when she was at home with some friends.

As the humans and ponies walked into the near empty club, they were greeted by a jet black unicorn.  Her mane and tail were blue with a black strip running through them. The hairstyle was short but well kept. Her eyes were dark blue.

“Hey.” She waved, noticing Rainbow Dash “Oh hey Dash, are these the new guys?”

“Hey and yes. This is Ashley...” Rainbow gestured towards him.

“Yo.” Ashley waved .

“And this is Callum.”

“Hey girl. How you doin’?” He greeted her with a smirk and a wink.

“Hello Ashley and...Callum...Don’t try anything. I don’t swing that way.” She returned a similar wink.

“She got ya’ there Cal.” Ashley wrapped his arm over his friends shoulder, looking up at nothing in particular except the ceiling above them “There’s always the next one.”

Callum flicked an imaginary tear, speaking in a depressed voice “I thought we had something special!” He leaned his head on Ashley’s shoulder, trying to look saddened from the rejection.

Neon and Dash just laughed at their charade.

“Are they always like this?” Neon asked as Callum broke himself off from Ashley, both with smirks on their faces.

“They do it when they feel like it.”

Neon smiled at this. She started to walk around the humans, poking at Callum’s legs and arms when possible to feel the bulk of their muscles. After a while, she turned to Ashley...

“She Didn’t even buy me dinner yet. I feel so violated!” Callum joked, getting a jab in the side from Neon’s horn.

“Quiet you.” She giggled, turning back to Ashley as she started to examine him.

“Like what you see?” Ashley teased.

“Not bad. Good muscles, seem to be in top shape from what I’ve heard from Dash. You’re hired.” She held out her hoof.

Ashley and Callum kneeled down to shake her hoof, taking turns. Ashley decided to speak “Thanks. When do we start?”

Both humans stood back up as she brought her hoof back to the ground, making her way to the bar with Dash next to her. The humans followed “You start at 8PM. Even though on Fridays we open at 8:15PM and close at 3AM. Eight bits an hour sound good?”

“Sure. Sounds great.” Callum smiled “Anything else?”

“Yeah there is.” She grabbed a drink that was given to her by the barcolt. She took a sip “All you do is stand there and get admission fees which are four bits per pony but there is also a VIP. Her name is Vinyl Scratch, light grey unicorn with a music note for a cutie mark. She’s usually seen wearing purple shades and her mane is very noticeable since its electric blue. She’s hard to miss.”

“Light grey unicorn, blue mane, purple shades, Vinyl Scratch.” Ashley said, keeping them as notes for the job, giving thumbs up to Neon “Got it.”

“Glad you understand. We're open on saturdays as well but already have some guys who do your job that night. You two should check it out, it's just as busy on friday. See you two tomorrow?”

“Sure we'll check it out. See you tomorrow.”

***

“Come on…Come on.” Celestia muttered to herself, she had spent the past hour flipping through pages, looking for the perfect act of revenge. Spells upon spells were listed among the potion recipes.

“You have to be here somewhere…”

Her eye shot open as she reached the page she was looking for, she levitated a piece of parchment and a quill (Dipped in ink of course) and jotted down the spell among a couple of others she would use in case Ashley made some payback of his own.

“One can’t be too careful.” She smiled to herself, the parchment and herself disappearing in the bright light from her horn, leaving her signature warm mist in her place.

**

After talking to Neon, Callum, Ashley and Rainbow Dash decided to visit Sugarcube Corner…And by Ashley visiting I mean literally dragged by Callum.

“I don’t see why I have to go in there.” Ashley folded his arms, pouting like a small child not getting their way.

“Because I said so. Okay?” Callum said strictly but you could tell that he was amused by Ashley’s shenanigan. “Besides I’m sure Pinkie knows something about pranks since she’s always up for fun.”

“Oh trust me…” Rainbow spoke up proudly “Pinkie Pie loves to pull pranks. She’s the best I’ve seen! Better than me!”

“Interesting…” Ashley rubbed his chin with his hands “We could ask her to assist us in our task, don’t you agree Callum?”

“I’m up for it.”

“Excellent!” Ashley stood up, dusting off the dirt on his back with his hands but he could only do so much. Callum decided to dust off the parts he missed.

“Thanks.” Ashley smiles “We must make haste! Time is of the essence!” He struck a heroic pose, pointing towards Sugarcube Corner. It didn’t take them long to get to the front door.

“One sec guys…” Rainbow stood in front of the door “Let me see if Pinkie’s in first.”

Several moments passed and still no signs of Rainbow Dash. Both humans became impatient, Callum opened the door as Ashley used the end of his sleeve to try and stop him from smelling the inside of the confectionary store.

As they entered, the only light on the room was in the middle, over a small desk. In front of the desk were two chairs, other side was a large office chair which faced the other way from the humans.

“Uh…” Callum said “Hello?”

“Ah…” both humans heard a voice, familiar…Sounded to have a small accent…Posh maybe? Sounded more sinister than posh. “You have arrived…” The chair spun round, the light poorly revealed Pinkie Pie’s mane and part of her face. She was wearing a dark grey suit, the tie was pink and had several balloons on it, alongside with confetti. She was also wearing a fedora.

“Y-yeah…We have…” Ashley spoke although his voice was muffled by his sleeve.

“Yes…You have…I know of your proposal so please…” She gestured towards the two chairs “Take a seat.”

Both humans shuffled towards the chairs, slowly taking their seats. Ashley’s legs were crossed over, leaning back on the chair as held his sleeve over his nose while Callum sat up straight.

Pinkie opened one of the drawers, taking out a cup of what looked like hot chocolate. She stuck a lollipop into her mouth, pretending the stick was a cigarette “I know you’d like my help with some pranks…”

“Correct.” Ashley’s muffled voice spoke.

“But the only way I’m going to help you…Is if I get something in return.” She spat out the lollipop stick, the sound of it hitting a nearby trashcan. How she consumed the sugary treat without biting it confused both humans but they put the thought aside

It’s Pinkie being Pinkie. They thought to themselves.

“Well, what do you want?” Callum asked.

“I want pictures!” She slammed her hoof on the table, spilling some of the hot chocolate on the table “Pictures of ponies!”

“Uhhhh….” Both human’s quickly glanced at one another, returning back to the pink part pony in front of them.

“Nah I’m just pulling your leg!” Her voice returned to normal, her smile could be seen from the light. She coughed slightly before her smile disappeared, returning to the voice from before “You.” She pointed towards Ashley.

“What about me?”

“I want you.”

“Want me for what? Play a guitar solo? Go sky diving? Have a fight with a brick wall?”

“Heh heh.” A laugh came from the shadows, both humans recognised it as Rainbow’s.

“Maybe one of those…Actually…” Pinkie spoke, leaning back on her chair as she put her two forehooves together, near her chin “You are going to one of my parties.”

“AWW COME ON!” Ashley shot up, the chair rocketed backwards from his movement and hit the ground.

“It’s that or you get destroyed by Celestia in your feeble prank war.”

“I’d rather take my chances.” Ashley mumbled as he walked towards the door.

“There has only been one pony in the entire history to successfully win a prank war against the sun princess.” She examined her hoof as if she was bored.

“And who was that?” Ashley asked with concern, stopping in his tracks.

“…Me.”

“…I’m listening.” Ashley picked up his chair, not taking a seat in it but leaning his body weight on it.

“I know what really makes her tick. What reeeaaally gets on her nerves. She will go all out on you and just think. She has been alive for a long time, thus allowing her to perfect her jokes and becoming a master of them. Many have rivalled her in the art of the prank war but none have succeeded. Many couldn’t drive themselves to even counter her prank. Some tried to get back but she foresaw them easily, turning their pranks against them with ease. That was until I came along.” She took a sip of her hot chocolate, savouring the flavour for a moment

Ashley was intrigued as was Callum. Ashley went back into his seat before speaking up.

“Go on…”

“I already have a few things you can do to get her if you accept my conditions.” A smile grey faintly on her face.

“I’m not so sure…”

“Ashley…” Rainbow spoke up, bringing herself to the light in the room “Can we speak for a sec?”

“Sure I guess.” Both human and pony exited the store. The sunlight started to burn Ashley’s eyes.

“Y’know you said you owe me right?”

“Of course.”

“Well I made my decision.”

“Go on.”

“At first, I was going to say that you could treat me to a meal, like you suggested. But now, I want to you go to a Pinkie Party. I’m sure it would mean a lot to her.”

“Ugh…” Ashley groaned, wiping a hand down his face “You’re making this harder than it needs to be.”

“Please Ash…Do it for me?” She started to give him the puppy dog look, forgetting that he was impervious to the attempt.

Ashley bit down on his fist. He REALLY didn’t want to go to the party but he promised he would make it up to Rainbow, not matter what she asked. He felt like a ton of bricks were balancing on his head, ready to fall onto his body at any second.

Rainbow decided to turn up the sad meter, making her eyes water as her lower lip quivered.

“You know that those looks don’t work on me right?” Ashley said amusingly, lowering his voice to a whisper “Fine I’ll go.”

“Sweet!” Rainbow cheered up instantly, knowing that Pinkie would be thrilled to throw both humans a party.

“As long as it isn’t here.”

“Why?”

“The smell of the place…It disgusts me.”

“But it smells like cake and sugar! How could you NOT like it?”

“That’s why I don’t like it. I’m not a big fan of sugary treats. Can’t stand the smell let alone the taste.”

“Fair enough.” Rainbow shrugged, opening the door to allow both of them to enter the store. Ashley covered his nose with his sleeve again.

“Weeeelll?” Pinkie asked, leaning slightly over the table. The top of her fedora and the front of her mane were completely visible.

“Rainbow talked me into going to your party as long as it isn’t here.”

“…” Pinkie was silent, removing the fedora and placed it on the table. She remained calm as she hopped of her chair and stood next to Ashley, glaring at him.

“Uhh…” Ashley was starting to get a bit creeped out by the pink mare until she wrapped her hooves around his neck, suffocating him.

“WOO HOO!” She exclaimed, squeezing tighter on his neck “Now I get to throw both of my favourite humans a party! Oh-oh! It’s going to be so much fun! There’s going to be cake. And punch. And pie and-” She dragged on and on, listing things for the party but was completely oblivious to Ashley’s struggled breathing.

“Pinkie! *ack* Can’t breathe!” Ashley was ready to throw the pink pony over his head to regain control of his breathing.

“Woops!” She smiled sheepishly as she pulled herself away from Ash “Got a bit carried away.”

“It’s…Okay Pinkie…Just…Warn me next time…Okay?” Ashley spoke between breathes, Callum couldn’t help but smile, knowing that Ash could of easily overcome Pinkie with his strength.

“So…What did you have planned Pinkie?” Callum spoke up.

“Just follow me and you will see!” The pink pony turned on the lights, the desk completely disappeared as did her suit which left everyone confused but as always…

It’s Pinkie being Pinkie

***

“Wow…” Both humans were awe struck. They followed Pinkie into the attic of the store, learning that she lives here with Mr and Mrs Cake. They ascended up a ladder into the attic and found many cabinets, each filled with notes of things needed for pranks. At the end of the room, on a pedestal was a very large book. It appeared to be at least 5000 pages.

“This…” Pinkie spoke, her eyes gleaming as she approached the book “Is my masterpiece.”

“What is it?” Ashley asked.

“It’s a book silly! It contains EVERY prank, joke and silly thing ever known. Written by me and is updated often.

“So this’ll help us get at Celestia?”

“Not this book. I have a secret book just for her! You three need to turn around and close your eyes and open when I say so.”

The humans and Rainbow Dash did what she asked. Pinkie put her hooves into her manepulling out a small black notebook, opening it and flipping a couple of pages. Finding step one of her plan easily.

“Okay, now you can look.” She said cheerfully, her audience did what they asked.

“So what do you have planned first?” Callum asked, looking at the notebook.

“This…” She went to a nearby drawer, pulling out a small plastic bottle of clear oil “This is body oil but not like any other body oil. This is the first step to get back at Celestia.

“Alright. What do you need us to do?”

“Callum, this will require you to convince the princess to have a massage from you…”

“Mmkay.”

“The room must be dark. Ashley has to be hidden in the room. After a few minutes, switch with Ash but if she talks, you have to speak to keep up the illusion. Ashley, you’ll have to massage the oil into her coat and completely quiet. You know how to massage don’t you?”

“Damn straight.” Ashley spoke up “It would be a bit awkward for me to massage her but if it’s to get at the princess, I’m in.”

“Good. There is a little surprise I want you to add at the end…”

Ashley rubbed his hands together, an evil grin found its way onto his face.

“Oh boy…Dis gun be good.” He said with a small laugh.

Sorry for the late update guys, been a bit hectic with coursework and real life which made me push this chapter down until I almost forgot about it completely. Not to mention the fact that I love reading other fanfics and they really waste down my spare time. As you can tell, I revealed one of the pranks for next chapter. I throughly enjoyed writing the Pinkie Pie scene.

Next chapter WILL have the pranks, both sides in fact. I think two pranks on each side should do well. Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter so let me know in the comments and such.

Oh and before I can forget...FUCK YEAH 21,000+ VIEWS! Love you all for reading this story so far and giving me a lot of positive comments, driving me to get off my lazy ass to write.
