PonyballzKai: Adventures In Equestria
Chapter 11: No Second Prances
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight and starlight were preparing the table for the dinner party with celestia tomorrow night. "First lesson of the day, we very carefully set the table without using magic, so that— Yikes!" she barely avoided the maelstrom of plates, knives and so forth being set on the table by starlight, who was smiling.
"Did you...?! How? When? What?!" twilight asked incredulously.
"What?" starlight asked.
"I said no magic. You were supposed to do it by hoof so I could work in a friendship lesson." twilight explained.
"Oh, I heard "set the table" and just kinda went for it." starlight said.
Twilight Sparkle quickly tried to salvage it, and was doing a very bad job of it. "Well, if you hadn't used magic, you'd have heard me say, uh... this plate represents your head, this spoon is your heart, and the knives... are sharp! Always be careful with knives." twilight then sighed. "The metaphors make more sense when you're actually setting the table."
"Should I... change it back?" starlight questioned.
"I just want to make sure you're ready for this dinner. Princess Celestia will be joining us tomorrow night to see how the friendship lessons are going!" twilight exclaimed.
"If it's just you, me, and Princess Celestia, why are there four seats?" starlight asked slightly confused.
"Well, the whole point is for you to bring a new friend. That way, the princess will see for herself just how far you've come. And how good a teacher you have." twilight said with a smile adorning her muzzle.
"Well, I can't choose. I like all your friends."
"That's the best part! You have to make a new friend!" twilight shouted.
"New friends? Hey, maybe I'll just force friendships by magically enslaving the entire population of Ponyville!" starlight joked.
Twilight Sparkle however, didn't find it very funny. "Starlight!"
"Kidding!" starlight said as she laughed nervously.
Before anything else happened, somepony knocked on the doors of the castle. Both starlight and twilight answered it to see Cyre... With a smiling and panting Manticore sitting on it's on its rear nuzzling him. The two mares just gawked at him.
"Hey guys! I just wanted you to meet my new pet Manticore, Nala! I found her in the forest being attacked by timber wolves about three days ago, boy were there a lot of those things! After I finished them all, I went to her and got out all her splinters, then used a little healing magic, and she was good as new! I told her I wanted to help her get out of that nasty situation through my mind. She really likes me. Even after I left, she followed me back to my capsule ship. And she's pretty playful to!" Cyre was then licked by the Manticore in question. "Nala, stop it! Please!" both mares couldn't deny that it was slightly cute.

wanna see who has the best Kamehameha? Wanna see the power of dreams when they are raw? Vs! The strongest foe! Noone but yourself holds you back!
(the title screen, Ponyball z: adventures in Equestria appears as it flies through canterlot. Cyre is then seen flying by with rainbow dash, princess Luna, twilight sparkle, and Fluttershy joining him.)
A fire burning in my veins, is breaking me out of my chains, and raising my power to the max...
(all of them flare their auras and fly away at high speeds, with cyre joining them a few moments later.the scene changes to seeing spike waving to them, along with the mane 6's friends and family.)
our paths filled with uncertainty, but look ahead then you will see, how we'll become, a part of history!
(King Sombra and queen chrysalis appear first. And behind them, ponehendge appears, and in a flash, the pony of shadows appears. Rainbow then appears with green eyes similar to Sombra's, and twilight and rainbow are engaged in a fight.)
whem someone beats me up, I always get back up, my spirits always coming back, and now it's on the attack!
(Sombra is seen spreading crystals across Ponyville. A fused Saiyan of unknown origin appears and goes super saiyan. Twilight Sparkle and Luna are seen performing the fusion dance, as they fuse together and smirk at the audience.)
jump on all your limits and perchance! Throw away your pain in a kind and loving dance! Gorgeous! I'm born again! In the Dragonballs lies the fate of all men!
(stygian is seen fighting twilight, and it switches to another unknown fusion with rainbow hair. Cyre is seen nodding and he goes super saiyan.)
wanna see who has the best Kamehameha? Wanna see the power of dreams when they are raw? vs! The future world! Our epic tail will be unfurled! Greater than the best!
(cyre and chrysalis are now seen fighting. It then changes to a screen where he and his friends are in a fighting pose.)
After getting over the fact that cyre essentially adopted a manticore from Everfree forest, she embarked on her mission to make a new friend.
"Let's see. Make new friends in Ponyville, the friendliest place in Equestria. Shouldn't be hard..."
Pinkie Pie then showed up from nowhere. "Need to make a new friend, huh? I know just the pony for you!"
Pinkie Pie and starlight were now at sugarcube corner. "Miss Starlight Glimmer, meet Mrs. Cake!"
Ms. Cake was putting icing on an actual cake when she looked up to greet them. "How are you, dearie?"
"Are you baking? Can I help?" she then started grabbing materials and the finished product was a three tier cake with extravagant sparkle and glimmer designs.
"Wow, Mrs. Cake! Look what your new friend made you!" pinkie said.
Mrs. Cake chuckled. "New friend. I like the sound of– " she took one look at the cake and she gasped. "Howza-wowza! A-Are you trying to put me out of business with your fancy magical-thingy-whatsit cake?!"
Starlight deactivated her magic, which unfortunately brought the cake falling down right on ms. Cake. "Sorry..." starlight said nervously.
"In her defense, it is delicious! " pinkie chomped away at the cake as ms. Cake glared at starlight and pinkie.
Starlight's mission had now brought her over to sweet apple acres. "I think I have just the pony for you, Starlight. Meet Big Mac!" applejack said.
"Eeyup!"
"He's not much of a talker." applejack responded.
"Nnope." was big mac's reponse.
"Oh, that's too bad. I love a good conversation." starlight inquired. She then realized something and used her magic on big mac, which was sent directly into his mouth.
Big McIntosh was now starting to speak uncontrollably. "Eeyup-yup-yup-yup-yup-yup-yup-yup-y-y-y-y-you did something! Whoa! What's happening? I feel really weird! I'm talkin' so much! And I'm so articulate! Enunciating with such precise pronunciation!" he tried to shut his mouth there, but it was futile. "Annie Apple awoke and accidentally ate an auburn azalea!" with a scream he ran away. "Make it stop!" applejack promptly began to growl at her.
"I can't be friends with somepony who doesn't talk." starlight retorted.
That only made applejack growl more.
"...And I guess my first instinct shouldn't be to magically command ponies to act the way I want them to?"
Applejack was now in her face growling.
"Alright, I'll change him back!" starlight said while walking to find big mac.
Her next shot at making a new friend took her to rarity, and the carousel boutique. "The trick to finding a new friend is to render yourself radiant. First impressions count a great deal, you know."
"I'm glad you all got past my first impression." starlight added.
"Well, everypony deserves a second chance. Ooh! Now, I have a top-notch idea. I'm thinking pastel silk here and here with a crinoline underneath." rarity said while measuring starlight.
"You really think a new outfit will help me meet ponies?" starlight questioned. She had to admit, she was a little skeptical of this.
"Oh, with the right outfit, you can do anything, darling!" rarity said while wearing an elegant dress.
Starlight Glimmer smiled. "When will it be ready?"
"Three weeks." rarity said.
"Dinner's tomorrow." starlight said hesitant.
"Well then, how about a hat from the... clearance bin?" rarity said while clearing her throat.
Starlight attempted to try on a hat, but her horn tore right through it. "Ugh! Maybe not."
Starlight went to rainbow mane next. "Heh. Nopony's gonna make friends with you because of your outfit. The only thing you want a new friend draped in is coolness."
"Like you and Cyre?"
"Yeah, but you already know me and that saiyan guy, so..." she gasped. "Spitfire! Heh. Sorry." she said while actually spitting on starlight.
"Who's that?"
Rainbow gaspsed "Only the Wonderbolt-iest pony in the Wonderbolts! Come on, I'll introduce you!" she took of relatively quickly, causing a sonic boom. Once she didn't see starlight following her, she flew back. "You coming or what?"
"I guess my first question would be, "What's a Wonderbolt?" she asked.
Rainbow Dash gasped and gave us a glorious meme face.

"You've never heard of the Wonderbolts?! Where have you been?!" rainbow asked incredously.
"Enslaving villages, I guess..." starlight responded nervously.
"Right." rainbow said while floating down.
Starlight Glimmer went to fluttershy and her animal friends, but she didn't think they would work to well. She was currently petting angel on the belly. "You're adorable, but probably not what Twilight had in mind." once she left, angle began to look at her dreamily as the shy mare returned with a carrot for angle, who didn't even notice. With that, fluttershy sighed in sadness.
Starlight Glimmer was now sitting on a bench groaning. "What is going on? This is Ponyville! If I can't make a friend here, there's gotta be something wrong with me!".
she took a minute to calm down and sighed. "Okay, calm down. Nobody makes friends with a total stresscase."
She looked around and saw ponies everywhere either talking or playing with their friends, she even saw Cyre playing four square with a few fillies.
"Stop stressing... Stop stressing!" she said as every pony turned to look at her. She took this as a hint to leave, which she did. Cyre looked at her leave in worry. 'I should go tell twilight what's going on.' he thought. With that, Cyre put two fingers on his head and vanished, much to the fillies confusion.
Starlight was currently at the spa to get rid of all the stress she was feeling. "This is just what I needed." starlight said with a sigh.
"Tell me about it." a mare next to her responded.
"You ever have one of those days?" starlight asked her.
"For me, they're all one of those days." the mare responded.
Starlight giggled. "I'm gonna start coming here every time I visit Ponyville." the mare affirmed.
"I'm not from here either. I've been trying to make friends, but it's not easy. They're not saying it, but I think everypony knows about my past. I may have been a tiny bit... completely and utterly evil?" starlight said nervously.
"Ponies judge me on my past too." the mare said.
"Finally, a pony I can relate to." starlight said with a smile.
"Soup spoon, salad fork, pasta spoon, strawberry pick. I'm beginning to think that after friendship, the greatest magic of all is proper silverware placement!" twilight giggled.
"Twilight, are you even listening to me?!?!? What have we been talking about for the past half hour? You know, concerning starlight and her making a new friend?" Cyre said very annoyed.
"I don't really know." twilight said. Cyre could swear to Kami that he could feel one or two of his hairs turn gray as his eye twitched.
Starlight came bursting through the door, much to cyre's relief. If he spent any longer with twilight today alone, he would've kiai'd her. "Twilight, guess what? I made a new friend!"
"That's fantastic news!" Cyre and twilight ecstatically said.
"She's great!"
"Great!"
"She's powerful!"
"Powerful?"
"She's—"
"Hello... princess!"an azure Unicorn with a silver mane was standing there. Her cutie mark was a light blue crescent moon, with a magic wand above the bottom portion of the moon. She was wearing a light purple wizard hat and cape, with various colored stars decorating them.
"Trixie?!" twilight exclaimed.
"You know each other?" starlight and Cyre asked.
"You could say that." twilight said.
Trixie walked over to twilight. "We've had our differences. What matters is Twilight gave me a second chance, and I appreciate it."
Twilight Sparkle preceded to give Trixie a forced smile as she played with the silverware on the table.

"So, um, what brings you to Ponyville?"
"The Grrrreat and Powerful Trrrrixie has come to perform a new stage show of grand illusion! I am calling it "The Humble and Penitent Trixie's Equestrian Apology Tour"!" Trixie stated. Cyre couldn't help but see a lot of vegeta's ever-so-prideful attitude in that mare.
"That's kind of a mouthful." starlight said to her in a hushed tone.
"It's a working title." she responded back in a hushed tone. It was then when cyre decided to make himself known.
"Hi Trixie. My name is Cyre. I hope we can be good friends!" Trixie didn't even know Cyre was here until just now, so she just stared at the bipedal creature staring at her.
She quickly regained her composure and preceded to ask who he was. Cyre gave her an abridged version of what he told twilight to save time. Of course, as anypony would, she found it hard to believe, but the prove was staring her right in the face.
"Starlight? Cyre? A moment? Over here?" she said as she pulled both of them over with her magic. "I know I said make friends with anypony, but, well, with Trixie's past, and your past, I'm not sure she's the best... first friend."
"What exactly did she do that was so bad?" Cyre asked. Twilight explained how she brought an ursa minor into town, and enslaved ponyville before reforming. "okay, that's a little crazy."
"But you've forgiven her, right?" starlight asked suspiciously.
"Of course. It's just... She wasn't the nicest pony."
"Well, you did say anypony, and I just assumed that you'd trust me to make my own friends the way Princess Celestia trusted you." starlight said sternly.
"Yeah, and i say we give her a chance to. One of my components was a pride filled saiyan who was oringinally sent to destroy my home planet. But all is forgiven after what we've been through though."
"Okay? Moving on.... You're right. I trust you. Just be back in time for the dinner." twilight said.
"Thanks, Twilight! You won't regret it!" starlight said while galloping away.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Cyre said running after them.
"I hope not." twilight went back to the table and saw that Trixie had molded together a few of the utensils to make a pony silverware version of herself, causing twilight to sigh.
