Author's Note

Space Part I

*Everfree Forest, 12:50PM

I woke with a start, after I sat up I noticed that I was in the middle of the woods. I also quickly noticed I was wearing a black cloke and and the infinity gauntlet minus all the stones.

"Holy shit" I said under my breath. "Where am I?" I asked as I stood up. I started walking hoping to find civilization. After about six minutes of walking around i found the edge of the forest and could see a small town in the distance. I made my way towards the town, when i was entering the town I saw a hot air balloon landing. Two people got of and walked for a while before another person walked up to them, gasped, and sped off. Figuring that the two from the hot air balloon where also tourist's in this town i made my way towards them hoping they could fill me in o the basics, but as i got closer i noticed that everyone in this town was an anthro animal, more specifically ponies, which is when i realized where and when i was. I was in the first episode of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, right when Twilight came to Ponyville for the first time. Once i got close enough i decided to ask them something.

"Excuse me, could you tell me what town this is?" I asked them

"This is Ponyville" said the anthro dragon which i knew was Spike. "How'd you not know that?" He asked.

"Spike!" Said the anthro unicorn which i knew as Twilight Sparkle.

"It's all right miss" i said to Twilight. Then i turned to Spike and said. "To put it simply Spike, im a wanderer, i wander from town to town" i said to him.

"You do that for fun?" Asked Spike.

"Yes, but i also do it because im looking for some rare stones, only six of them in existence" i answered.

"The elements of harmony?" Asked Twilight.

"I have read the book about them, and there not what im looking for" i said. "But if there what your looking for i can take a brake from my search to help you find them" i continued.

"I'd very much appreciate that Mr.?" Said Twilight.

"Pax, but please, no Mr." i said.

"Your gonna have to wait tho" said Spike. "We got ordered by the Princes to do some stuff around this town first" he continued.

"Then i will help you with that as well" i said.

"Thank you" said Twilight.

*30 minutes later.

We where walking on a path towards a farm house when an orange mare, i knew her as Applejack, walked up to us.

"Howdy y'all, what can i do for ya?" She asked.

"My names Twilight Sparkle" said Twilight. "I was sent by Princess Celestia to make sure the catering for tomorrows summer sun celebration was on track to be ready" she continued.

"Of course it is" said AJ. "Wanna taste test some of the dishes?" She asked. Me and Spike's stomachs decided to growl right then and there.

"Yes we would" me and Spike said at the same time.

*an hour and 70 minutes later

We where looking for Rainbow Dash when a Pegasus mare slammed into Twilight knocking her to the ground.

"Sorry about that" she said as she flew back and helped her up.

"It's alright" said Twilight. "You wouldn't happen to know where a mare named Rainbow Dash is would you?"

"Your looking at her" said Rainbow. "What can i help you with?" She asked.

"I was sent by the Princess to make sure you where clearing the weather for the summer sun celebration" said Twilight.

"Dont worry about it" said Rainbow. "They'll be cleared out by tomorrow morning" she continued.

"I'll take your word for it" said Twilight as we started walking again.

*10 minutes later

We where walking up to town hall. We quickly entered the building.

"Who are we looking for Twilight?" I asked.

"A unicorn mare named Rarity Belle" said Twilight.

"Rarity will do miss, ill be with you in one second" said a unicorn mare who was talking to other ponies. Not to much longer and she walked over to us, Spike started to drool slightly. "What may i help you with?" She asked.

"Im Twilight Sparkle, i was sent by Princess Celestia to make sure the decorations for the summer sun celebration where coming along nicely, they seem to be doing just that" said Twilight.

"Why thank you darling, ill be seeing you tomorrow" she said as she went back to helping with the decorations. We left and i made sure to grab Spike.

"Come on lover boy" i said as we left.

*30 minutes later

We where walking down the path i used to walk into town, we where looking for Fluttershy when we spotted a yellow Pegasus mare instructing birds like they where a choir. We soon approached her and Twilight got her attention.

"Hello miss, are you by chance Fluttershy?" She asked the mare.

"I am" she said super shyly. "What can i help you with?" She asked just as shyly.

"Im Twilight Sparkle and the Princess sent me to make sure that the choir was ready for the summer sun celebration tomorrow" said Twilight. "And assuming these birds are the choir, they sound lovely" she continued.

"Thank you" said the very shy mare.

"Just one more question" said Spike. "Do you know where Golden Oaks Library is?" He asked.

"Yes, ill show you the way" said Fluttershy.

*30 minutes later

"This is the place" said Fluttershy.

"They put a library inside of a tree" i said. "Ironic" i continued as we steeped into the library. It was dark until all the lights suddenly turned on and a huge chunk of Ponyville yelled surprise, startling Twilight, Spike and Flutters.

"Did i surprise ya?" Asked an anthro pink mare, i knew her as Pinkie Pie.

"Yes you did" said Twilight.

"Great" said Pinks. "And before you ask, this is your welcome to Ponyville party" she continued. "Enjoy it!" She said as she sped off.

"This town is weird" said Spike. "I like it" he continued as Twilight walked up stairs to her bedroom. I decided to follow her. Once upstairs she sat down on her bed and i closed the door before talking to her.

"She's supposed to return tonight" i said. "Any minute now really" i continued.

"I know, where to late" said twilight. "I should've not listened to the Princess this time, now the world is doomed" she continued.

"Not until she breaks out, lets enjoy life until that happens, after all, theirs a party downstairs" i said.

"Your right" she said as we walked back downstairs.

*One hour later

All of Ponyville was in town hall, they where all waiting for Celestia's reveal. But me and Twilight both either knew or had a very strong feeling about who was actually gonna show up.

"Mares and gentelstallions, i present to you... Princess Celestia!" Said Mayor Mare as curtains pulled back to reveal nothing.

"Where is she?!?" Said all of Ponyvill Except for me and Twi. Suddenly a mist that looked like the night sky formed into Nightmare Moon on the stage. Everyone panicked more.

"Hello my little ponies, did you miss me?" Asked Nightmare.

To Be Continued...

Space Part II

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Griffon The Brush-Off

*Treebrary

It had been a few days sense the little ticket incident. I was helping Spike and Twi organize the treebrary when Pinks stormed in and started complaining about a griffon named Gilda. After she was done venting.

"So Pinkie Pie, are you sure that this friend of Rainbow's is really so mean?" I asked.

"Um, yeah. She keeps stealing Rainbow Dash away, she pops my balloons, and she told me to buzz off. I've never met a griffon this mean. Well, actually, I've never met a griffon at all, but I bet if I had, she wouldn't have been as mean and grumpy as Gilda" answered Pinks.

"You know what I think, Pinkie Pie?" Asked Twi.

"No i dont, what do you think?" Asked Pinks in response.

"Well, I think... you're jealous" said Twi.

"Jealous?" Asked Pinks.

"Green with envy" said Spike. "Well, in your case, pink with envy" he continued.

"Yes. Jealous. Listen Pinkie, I don't want to upset you, but just because Rainbow Dash has another friend doesn't make Gilda a grump" said Twi.

"I know that" said Pinks. "I think she's a grump because she doesn't want Dashie to have any friends besides her" she continued.

"I can believe that" i said. "Which is why im coming with you" i continued. "Let's go test your theory" i concluded as i made a portal for us.

We hid after we stepped out of the portal. We listened in on Gilda and Rainbow.

"Ugh, I gotta take care of a few weather jobs around here. Shouldn't take long. Just, uh, hang out in town and I'll come find ya" said Rainbow as she flew off.

After she flew off Gilda pranked Granny Smith by pretending to be a rattle snake, nearly scarring the literal shit out of her away as she ran away.

"Aw, poor Granny Smith" said Pinks.

Gilda stole an apple from a vendor and eat it.

"She's not only a mean, she's also a thief" I said.

Flutters was showing a group of baby ducks and there mother how to get home.

"All right little ones, this way, this way. Mama duck, you're free and clear" Flutters said to the duck's as she accidentally bumped into Gilda.

"Hey" said Gilda. "I'm walkin' here" she continued.

"Oh, um, I'm sorry. I-I-I was just trying to..." Flutters tried to say before Gilda cut her off

"Why don't you just watch where you're going, doofus?" Asked Gilda angrily.

"B-b-b-but I... I..." Flutters tried to say before running away crying.

"Ugh, please, all these lame ponies are driving me buggy. I gotta bail" said Gilda as she flew away.

"She's a grump, a thief, and a bully. The meanest kind of mean meanie-pants there is. I can take it, but no one treats Fluttershy like that. No!. One!. This calls for extreme measures, Pinkie Pie style" said Pinks. "Pax, open a portal to sugar cube corner, ive got a plan" she continued as i opened the portal.

*Sugar cube corner

A couple of hours had past and everyone in town was showing up to a welcome to Ponyville party for Gilda.

"Welcome, welcome. Welcome!" Said Pinks to her friends as she invited them inside.

"Who's this Gilda I've heard nothing about?" Asked AJ.

"I hear she's an old friend of Rainbow's. A griffon, so rare" said Rarity.

"You've met Gilda, right?" Asked Twi as she looked to Flutters. "What's she like?" She continued

"Oh, um, well, I'll tell you later, Twilight" said Flutters. "Um, Pinkie Pie, about this party for Gilda. Umm... Do you really think it's a good idea? I mean–" Flutters tried to say before Pinkie cut her off.

"Don't worry your pretty little head about mean old Gilda. Your auntie Pinkie Pie's got it all taken care of" said Pinks.

"I'm a year older than you" said Flutters.

After that quick the quest of honor finale showed up.

"Gilda! I'm so honored to throw you one of my signature Pinkie Pie parties, and I really, truly, sincerely, hope you feel welcome here among all us pony folk" said Pinks as she held out her hand, Gilda took it and got electrocuted. The entire crowd laughed at that.

"Oh Pinkie Pie, the old hoof-shake buzzer. You are a scream" said rainbow.

"Yeah, good one, Pinkie Pie" said Gilda.

"Come on G, I'll introduce you to some of my other friends" said rainbow as she lead her off.

"Please help yourself" said Pinks holding out a tray of snacks.

"Vanilla lemon drops. Don't mind if I do" said Gilda as she eat a couple. "HOT!" She suddenly screamed.

"G, the punch" said Rainbow.

"Huh?" Asked Gilda as she ran over to the punch bowl.

"Well, what do you know, pepper in the vanilla lemon drops" said Pinks.

"Ha. Priceless. Priceless" said Rainbow as she laughed.

"Yeah, hilarious" said Gilda as she finished drinking the punch.

After awhile Pinks brought out a giant cake. "Cake time everypony" she announced. Gilda tried to blow out the candles but they re-lighted themselves. This process repeated for a while. Everypony started to laugh.

"Re-lighting birthday candles, I love that prank. What a classic" I said.

"I wonder who did that" said Pinks.

"Yeah, I wonder" said Gilda.

"Who cares. This cake is amazing" said Spike.

"Spike!" Said Twi.

"What?" He asked.

"It's great, try some" i said as i handed her a plate.

About an hour had passed and Gilda had been pranked a few more times, but she finale lost it.

"This is your idea of a good time? I've never met a lamer bunch of dweebs in all my life. And Pinkie Pie, you! You are queen lame-o with your weak little party pranks. Did you really think you could make me lose my cool? Well, Dash and I have ten times as much cool as the rest of you put together. Come on Dash, we're bailing on this pathetic scene" but Rainbow wasn't leaving with her. "Come on Rainbow Dash. I said, we're leaving" she continued.

"You know Gilda, I was the one who set up all those weak pranks at this party" said Rainbow.

"What?" Asked Gilda.

"So I guess I'm queen lame-o" said Rainbow.

"Come on, Dash, you're joshing me" said Gilda.

"They weren't all meant for you specifically, it was just dumb luck that you set them all off" said Rainbow.

"No way. It was Pinkie Pie. She set up this party to trip me up, to make a fool of me" said Gilda.

"Me? I threw this party to improve your attitude. I thought a good party might turn that frown upside down" said Pinks.

"It's true, i was there" i said.

"And you sure didn't need any help making a fool of yourself. You know, this is not how I thought my old friends would treat my new friends" said Rainbow. "If being cool is all you care about, maybe you should go find some new cooler friends someplace else" she continued.

"Yeah? Well you, you, you are such a, a flip-flop" said Gilda. "Cool one minute and lame the next. When you decide not to be lame anymore, gimme a call" said Gilda as she flew off super fast.

"Wow, talk about a party pooper" i said.

"I'm sorry everypony, for bringing Gilda here. I didn't know how rude she was. And Pinkie Pie, I'm really sorry she ruined that awesome party you put on for her" said Rainbow.

"Hey, if you want to hang out with party poopers, that's your business" said Pinks.

"I'd rather hang out with you. No hard feelings?" Asked Rainbow.

"Obviously" said Pinks as the two of them hugged. When they separated Twi walked up to Pinks.

"Hey Pinkie. Sorry I accused you of misjudging Gilda. Looks like I'm the one who misjudged you" said Twi.

"It's okay Twilight, even you can't be a super smart all the time. Come on everypony, there's still a whole lot of party to finish!" Said Pinks. Everypony cheered.

Author's Note

this one turned out way longer then i thought it would, but i aint complaining.

Boast Busters

A Week has passed. Me and Spike where helping Twi practice some spells.

"Come on, Twi. You can do it!" Spike said.

"Okay, here goes" said Twi as she preformed a spell on Spikes face.

"Ha ha! Ya did it! Growing magic, that's number twenty-five" said Spike dawning a new mustache. "Twenty-five different types of tricks and counting. And I think this is the best trick so far. Hello, Rarity. What's that? Aw, it's nothin', just my awesome mustache" he continued.

"Sorry, Romeo. As attractive and enticing as you look, it's just for practice, and it's gotta go" said Twi as she took it away.

"Rats!" Spike said. Me and Twi had a good laugh at that.

After me and Twi calmed our laughter we all decided to go out to lunch.

"Twenty-five, Twilight. Twenty-five different kinds of tricks and counting. I thought unicorns were only supposed to have a little magic that matches their special talents!" Spike said.

"True, for ponies whose talents are for things like cooking or singing or math. But what if a unicorn's special talent is magic?" I asked.

"Like you, Twilight, and you know a ton of magic" said Spike.

"Oh, stop you two. I'm sure there are lots of ponies right here in Ponyville that know just as much magic as me" said Twi.

"Are you kidding? I don't think there's another unicorn in all of Equestria with your kind of ability, Twilight" said Spike.

"OK, that's actually impossible" i said.

"Gangway! Coming through!" Suddenly yelled a colt as they ran into Spike.

"Snips, Snails! What's going on?" Spike asked.

"What, haven't you heard?" Snips asked.

"There's a new unicorn in town!" Snails said.

"Yeah! They say that she's got more magical powers than any other unicorn ever!" Snips said.

"Really?" Asked Twi.

"No way, that honor goes to Twilight here" said Spike.

"How wrong you are Spike" i whispered so no one heard me.

"Where is this unicorn?" Asked Twi.

"She's in the town square. Come on!" Snails said. All three of us followed the two colts.

We walked to town square and saw a stage set up.

"Come one, come all! Come and witness the amazing magic of the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Said Trixie. "Watch in awe as she performs the most spectacular feats of magic ever witnessed by pony eyes!" she continued.

"My! What boasting!" Said Rarity.

"Come on, nopony's as magical as Twilight!" Spike said.

"There's nothing wrong with being talented, is there?" Asked Twi.

"Nothin' at all, 'cep'n when someone goes around showin' it off like a school filly with fancy new ribbons" said AJ.

"Just because one has the ability to perform lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us" said Rarity.

"Well, it seems we have some neighsayers in the audience. Who is so ignorant as to challenge the magical ability of the Great and Powerful Trixie? Do they not know that they're in the presence of the most magical unicorn in all of Equestria?" Asked Trixie.

"Just who does she think she is?" Asked Rarity.

"Yeah! Since we all know that Twilight here is—" Spike tried to say before being cut off.

"Spike! Shush" said Twi.

"What? What's wrong?" Asked Spike.

"You see the way they reacted to Trixie?" I asked. "She doesn't want anyone thinking she's a show-off" i continued.

"So, "Great and Powerful Trixie". What makes you think you're so awesome, anyway?" Asked Rainbow.

"Why, only the Great and Powerful Trixie has magic strong enough to vanquish the dreaded Ursa Major!" Said Trixie. "When all hope was lost, the ponies of Hoofington had no one to turn to, but the Great and Powerful Trixie stepped in, and with her awesome magic, vanquished the Ursa Major and sent it back to its cave deep within the Everfree Forest!" Said Trixie.

"That settles it" said Snips

"Trixie truly is the most talented, the most magical, the most awesome unicorn in Ponyville" said Snails.

"No, in all of Equestria!" Said Snips.

"How do you know? You didn't see it!" Said Spike.

"It's true, my enthusiastic little admirers. Trixie is most certainly the best in Ponyville" said Trixie. "If you don't believe the Great and Powerful Trixie then I hereby challenge you, Ponyvillians, Anything you can do, I can do better. Any takers? Or is Trixie destined to be the greatest equine who has ever lived?" Asked Trixie.

"Please! She's unbearable! Ya gotta show her!" Said Spike.

"There's no way I'm going to use my magic now, Spike. Especially since-" Twi tried to say before being cut off.

"Hmm, how about you?" Trixie asked Twi. "Well, how about it? Hm? Is there anything you can do that the Great and Powerful Trixie can't?" She continued. "Well, little hayseed?" She concluded.

Rainbow, AJ and Rarity all challenged Trixie and all got defeated. Me, Spike and Twi where currently in the Treebrary.

"Twilight, would you put down that book and just listen to me?" Asked Spike.

"Didn't you see how they hated Trixie's bragging, Spike? If I go out there and show off my magic, I run the risk of losing them as friends" said Twi.

"It's not the same thing, Twilight. You'll be using your magic to stand up for your friends!" Said Spike.

"No, Spike, it's exactly the same" said Twi.

"Come on, Twilight, any one of these tricks, even the tiniest, would be enough to show up Trixie" said Spike.

"I don't want to be seen as a bragger like Trixie" said Twi.

"But you're the best!" Said Spike.

"Please, Spike, I said no!" Said Twi.

"If that's the way you want to be, then fine" said Spike as he left.

After he left i walked up to Twi and started talking to her.

"He just want's you to prove to everypony else what he and i already know" i said. "That you are the best" i continued.

"But i dont want to brag" said Twi.

"I get that" i said. "Which is why im not asking you to do anything" i continued. "Im just trying to explain why he is" i concluded.

"I know that" said Twi. "I just dont want to lose my friends" said Twi.

"Would you rather lose them?" I asked. "Or your brother?" I continued.

After i said that Spike barged back into the Treebrary.

"Twilight! You've gotta come! Quick!" Spike said. We both heard a roar in the distance.

"Is that what I think it is?" Asked Twi.

"Yep" said Spike.

We all made our way to see the Ursa destroying the town. We ran over to Snips, Snails and Trixie.

"What's going on?" Asked Twi.

"We brought an Ursa to town" said Snips and Snails

"You what!?!" Yelled Twi.

"Don't worry, the Great and Powerful Trixie will vanquish it" Said Snips.

"I can't" said Trixie.

"What!?" Asked Snails.

"I can't, I never have. No one can vanquish an Ursa Major. I just made the whole story up to make me look better" said Trixie.

"Made it up!?" Asked Snips and Snails.

It was at this point i had enough. I opened a massive portal using the space stone and sent the Ursa back to it's cave.

"Sorry about that" i said. "I wasn't letting that thing destroy more of the town" i continued.

"So it is possible to vanquish an Ursa Major all by yourself?" Asked Spike.

"That wasn't an Ursa Major. It was a baby, an Ursa Minor" said Twi.

"That was just a baby?" Asked Trixie.

"And it wasn't rampaging. It was just cranky because someone woke it up" i said.

"Well, if that was an Ursa Minor, then what's an Ursa Major like?" Asked most of the ponies present.

"You don't wanna know" me and Twi said.

Author's Note

I should probably let you guys know that I will be skipping episodes from the show that i either dont like or cant think of a reason for me to be there

Dragonshy

A few day later and yet another problem occurred in this cursed town.

"What in the name of all things cinnamon swirled is a full-grown dragon doing here in Equestria?" Asked AJ.

"Sleeping" said Twi.

"Huh?" Asked Everyone present but me.

"According to Princess Celestia, he's taking a nap. His snoring is what's causing all this smoke" said Twi.

"He should really see a doctor. That doesn't sound healthy at all" said Pinks.

"Well, at least he's not snoring fire. What are we meant to do about it?" Asked Rarity.

"I'll tell you what we're meant to do. Give him the boot" said Rainbow.

"We need to encourage him to take a nap somewhere else. Princess Celestia has given us this mission, and we must not fail. If we do, Equestria will be covered in smoke for the next one hundred years" said Twi.

It was at this point i used the space stone to go to the top of the mountain. I walked into the cave and woke up the dragon by poking him in the nostril with a stick.

"Sorry about that" i said. "But your snoring's causing a lot of smoke and if you keep it up a small town at the base of this mountain will die" i continued. "So if you could please move somewhere else, i and everyone down there would appreciate it" i concluded.

"Why should i care?" Asked the dragon.

"Because if you dont move willingly, ill move you myself" i said showing of the space stone by grabbing him with it's ability and lifting him into the air. I then put him down and let go of him.

"Fine, ill leave" he said as he was about to leave.

"Your gonna leave without your stuff?" I asked.

"I cant exactly carry all of it with me" he said.

"Where do you plan on going?" I asked. After he told me i helped him by opening a portal and levitating all his stuff through the portal.

"Thank you" he said as he walked over to the portal.

"Your welcome" i said as he walked through the portal and i closed it. I then opened a portal back to the front 'yard' of the treebrary. After i stepped through and closed it.

"Sup guys" i said to the mane six and Spike who where ready to go confront the dragon. "Dragons dealt with" i continued as i walked for the door. "Helped him move far away" i concluded as i went inside.

Author's Note

Another one I couldn't find a way to make longer with out making it stupid.

Winter Wrap Up

A few months have passed sense the dragon incident. It was the night before the last day of winter.

"Wake up Spike!" i heard Twi say from upstairs, waking me up. "It's time to wrap up winter" she continued as she walked downstairs.

"Twi" i said before she reached the door. "It's not even dawn yet" i continued.

"Oh..." said Twi. "Never mind then" she said as she went back upstairs.

A couple hours later it was actually time to wake up.

"OK, what's on the Agenda Twi?" I asked.

"We have to help Ponyville clean up winter" said Twi. "And we cant use magic, goes against Ponyville tradition" she continued.

"Got it" i said.

"Wouldn't it get done faster with magic?" Asked Spike.

"Yes it would Spike, but Ponyville was founded by earth ponies" said Twi. "And every town uses the founders traditions for holidays" she continued.

"No offense Twi" i said. "But ive been living with you for almost six months" i continued. "And you arnt capable of doing anything that can be done for this tradition without your magic" i concluded.

"You know he's right Twi" said Spike.

"If i where you id talk to the Mayor about find a new thing you could do" i said.

"Your right" she said surprisingly happy.

We walked to where Mayor Mare was supervising the clean up.

"Mayor Mare" said Twi as we walked up to her.

"What can i help you with Twilight?" Asked Mayor Mare as she finished helping another pony.

"Well, im not that good at any of the tasks for the clean up" said Twi. "So i was wondering if there was anything else i could do" she continued.

"You could help me with running everything" said Mayor Mare. "Im over worked every year" she continued.

"Id be glad to help" said Twi.

"This wrapped up way faster then i was expecting" i said.

After we finished wrapping up winter me, Spike and Twi where chilling in the Treebrary.

"That was actually kinda fun" said Spike.

"I knew you'd enjoy it" said Twi.

"It is weird to me that magic is forbidden for that tradition" i said. "Who cares how fast it gets done?" I asked. "I know i don't" i continued.

"It's just tradition" said Twi.

"It's a stupid tradition" i said. "Who care if Earth Ponies where the ones that founded this town, none Earth Ponies shouldn't have to follow there traditions" i continued.

"OK, i actually see where your coming from with that point" said Twi. "But no one in town complains, so they must all be OK with using Earth Pony tradition" she continued.

"And that's fine, but what if a pony comes along who doesn't want to conform to the masses?" I asked.

"I don't know" said Twi. "I'll talk to Mayor Mare about it tomorrow" she continued as she went up to bed. "Goodnight Pax, goodnight Spike" said Twi before she closed her door.

"Night Twi" me and Spike said at the same time. Not long after Spike also went his room.

I was laying down looking at the space stone inside the infinity gauntlet on my left hand. 'When will the next stone show it self?' I thought to myself as i went to sleep.

Author's Note

Here's a chapter about the end of winter on turkey day. Happy Thanksgiving buy the way!

Feeling Pinkie Keen

A few days had passed sense Winter Wrap Up. Me, Spike and Twi where in the front yard of the Treebrary. Twi was practicing spells.

"Eyes over here, Guys!" Said Twi.

"Sorry" i said.

"For this to work, it's crucial we keep our concentration totally on the-" Twi tried to say before Spike got distracted by Pinkie doing something... Pinkie.

"Spike! This magic needs our full attention to make it happen. There's no other way!" Said Twi.

"I can't help it. Look!" Said Spike as he pointed to Pinkie.

"Never mind her. She's just being Pinkie Pie" said Twi.

"Super extra Pinkie Pie today" said Spike.

"Twitchy twitcha twitcha twitch" Muttered Pinkie as she got closer to us.

"Pinkie Pie? What in the wide, wide world of Equestria are you up to?" Asked Twi.

"Oh! It's my tail! It's a-twitch a-twitchin'! And you know what that means!" Said Pinkie

"Actually, Pinkie, I haven't the slightest idea" said Twi.

"The twitchin' means my Pinkie Sense is telling me that stuff's gonna start falling! You three better duck for cover" said Pinkie.

"Oh, Pinkie, it's not gonna rain. Why, there's barely even a cloud in the-" Twi tried to say before a frog landed on her face. The frog croaked.

"He just said 'nice catch' in Frog" said Pinkie. We all looked up to see Flutters carrying an animal transport box full of frogs.

"Oh, I'm so, so sorry. You okay, Twilight? I just couldn't stand to see the pond getting so over-populated, what with the frogs all hopping into each other and all, so I decided to fly as many as I can on over to Froggy Bottom Bogg" said Flutters.

"Of course you did" said Twi.

"Bye-bye!" Said Flutters as she flew off with the frogs.

"Twi? You gotta little something' on your face there" i sad.

"Oh, really?" asked Twi sarcastically. "C'mon, Guys, let's continue our practice session where there's a little less commotion" she said.

"Wow! That was amazing! Pinkie Pie predicted something would fall, and something did!" Said Spike.

"Oh, come on. She said that something would fall, and a frog just happened to fall right around the same time. A coincidence, nothing else to it" said Twi.

"My tail! My tail! Twitch-a-twitch! Something else is gonna fall!" Said Pinkie.

"Oh, Pinkie, please. Nothing else is gonna fa-"Twi tried to say before she fell into a ditch

"Oh no, Twilight fell" i said with enough sarcasm for the entire planet to feel it.

"Is it safe to go help her?" Asked Spike.

"It's okay, my tail stopped twitching" said Pinkie. Me and Spike walked over to the ditch Twi fell into.

"Oh, please" said Twi.

"Uh, Twilight? Why are you hanging out in a ditch?" Asked AJ as she walked over to us and i helped Twi out of the ditch.

"Because, Pinkie Pie predicted it" i said.

"Honestly, Pax, she did not. Two coincidences in a row like this may be unlikely, but it's still easier to believe than twitchy tails that predict the future" said Twi.

"Twitchy tail? Pinkie Sense?" Asked AJ worried.

"Don't worry, it's safe. Prediction already came true" said Spike.

"Don't tell me you believe in this stuff, too?" Asked Twi.

"I know it doesn't make much sense, but those of us who have been in Ponyville a while, have learned over time that, if Pinkie's a-twichin', you better listen" said AJ as Pinkie rushed back over to us.

"My ears are flopping!" Said Pinkie.

"What does that mean?!" Asked Spike.

"I'll start a bath for you" said Pinkie after she turned to Twi.

"A bath? This thing keeps on getting more ridiculous by the minute!" Said Twi as she got drenched in mud because of a speeding cart hitting the puddle behind her.

After Twi had a bath she took Pinkie into her lab located in the basement. After a while i decided to go down there. I opened the door and saw Pinkie.

"Pinkie? Have you seen Twi?" I asked.

"Uh-huh" said pinkie pointing behind the door.

"Twi? What are ya doing back there?" I asked.

"Did you two plan this?" Asked Twi.

"Plan what?" I asked as Pinkie left.

"This is ridiculous. This can't be happening. This makes no sense. I have to figure this out" said Twi.

Not long after me and Twi where spying on Pinkie.

"Twilight?" Asked Spike as he came up behind us. Twilight nearly screamed in fright.

"Honestly, Spike, don't you know better than to sneak up on ponies?

"Oh, sorry, but, isn't that what you're doing?" Asked Spike.

"No! I'm doing scientific research. I'm observing Pinkie Pie" said Twi. "There's something fishy going on with the whole twitchy prediction thing, and I'm getting to the bottom of it" said Twi as Pinkie got an itchy nose. "Itchy nose" said Twi as Pinkie ran away. "That makes no sense. See? She's hiding like something's about to fall from the sky, but a twitchy tail means something's gonna fall from the sky, not an itchy nose" said Twi. This proves perhaps conclusively, that-" she tried to say before getting cut of by Spike moving away from her. "Spike! Where are you going? I'm trying to teach you the value of scientific-" she tried to say before getting cut off by me pulling her away from where she was standing as a swarm of bees attacked where she used to be standing. "Thank you" she said.

"Your welcome" i said.

Some time had passed and we where still spying on Pinkie.

"Okay, twitchy tail" said Twi.

"Twitchy tail!" Nearly yelled Spike.

"Hush, Spike! We can't let Pinkie know we're here, remember?" Said Twi.

"Something's gonna fall! Run for your lives!" Said Spike as he ran away and i pulled Twi closer to me as a flower pot, an anvil, a cart of hay and a piano land where she used to be standing.

"Thank you... again" said Twi.

"Your welcome again" i said.

Some more time had passed and Pinkie was walking up to AJ.

"Hey, Applejack. Whatcha doin'?" Asked Pinkie.

"Takin' more apples to my new apple cellar. How 'bout you, Pinkie? Whatchu doin'?" Asked AJ.

"Oh, letting Twilight secretly follow me all day without me knowing" said Pinkie.

"You mean you knew all along?! Why didn't you tell me?" Asked Twi.

"Silly, that would've spoiled the secret!" Said Pinkie as her entire body suddenly started to shake.

"What does that one mean?" I asked.

"Dunno, never gotten anything like it before, but whatever that was about, it's a doozy. Something you'd never expect to happen is gonna happen! And it's gonna happen... at Froggy Bottom Bogg!" Yelled Pinkie.

"That's where Fluttershy's headed!" Said AJ.

"Oh no! Is it about her?" Asked Spike.

"I'm not sure" said Pinkie.

"We better go and make sure she's okay" Said AJ as we all ran for the bogg.

After about 20 minutes we made it to the bogg.

"So... Whadda'ya think happened to Fluttershy?" Asked Spike.

"I hope nothin'" said AJ.

"She's fine, I'm sure of it" said Twi.

"I hope you're right, for Fluttershy's sake" I said.

"Fluttershy! You're okay!" Said AJ.

"Of course" said Flutters.

"What a relief" said AJ.

"I'm so glad everything's all right" said Pinkie.

"Sorry, I know it's not nice to gloat but... ha! I told you there was nothing to worry about, and I was right. Pinkie Pie said whatever she was shuddering about was a doozy, and the only doozy here is how right I am" said Twi as something started rising out of the water behind her.

"Twilight" said Spike.

"Pinkie's made a lot of predictions today, But what we've shown here is that there's no point in believing in anything you can't see for yourself" said Twi.

"Well then, see what's behind you, Twi" i said, which made Twi turnaround.

"I see it, But I don't believe it!" Said Twi.

"Is that a hydra!?" Asked Pinkie.

"Yep" i said as i opened a portal under it, making it fall into the portal.

"I don't know how it happened; coincidence, dumb luck, or what, but you said there'd be a doozy here at Froggy Bottom Bogg, and I'd say we just had ourselves one heck of a doozy. I mean that hydra—" Twilight tried to say before getting cut off by Pinkie's entire body shaking. "Pinkie?" Asked Twi.

"That wasn't it" said pinkie.

"What wasn't what?" Asked Spike.

"What are you talking about, Pinks?" Asked AJ.

"The hydra wasn't the doozy" said Pinkie. "I'm still getting the shudders. Whatever the doozy was at Froggy Bottom Bogg, my Pinkie Sense says it still hasn't happened" she continued.

"But I- WHAT?! The hydra wasn't the doozy?! How could it not be the doozy?! What could be doozier than that?!" Asked Twi

"Dunno" said Pinkie as Twilight turned into a unicorn Ponyta.

"I give up" said Twi as she stopped being on fire.

"Give what up, Twi?" I asked.

"The fight. I can't fight it anymore. I don't understand how, why, or what, but Pinkie Sense somehow... makes sense. I don't see how it does, but it just does. Just because I don't understand doesn't mean it's not true" said Twi.

"You mean you believe?" Asked Pinkie.

"Eeyup, I guess I do" said Twi.

"That was it. That's the doozy" said Pinkie.

"What? What is?" Asked Twi.

"You believing. I never expected that to happen. That was the doozy, and oh, what a doozy of a doozy it was!" Said pinkie.

"That makes sense for somepony like Pinkie" i said as everyone laughed.

Author's Note

Dont really have an excuse for why this took so long, sorry guys.

A Dog & Pony Show

It had been a couple of days sense Twi lost her shit over Pinkie Sense. We where now dealing with a worried Spike.

"Spike, can you breathe now?" Asked Twi.

"I think so" said Spike.

"Good. Now tell us what you know" I said.

"Rarity and I were in the woods looking for jewels when these creepy guys showed up" said Spike.

"Creepy guys?" Asked Twi.

"They called themselves the Diamond Dogs. They grabbed Rarity and disappeared down a hole in the ground" said Spike.

"Well, this sounds mighty easy. Just take us to that there hole and we'll save Rarity" said AJ.

After awhile Spike had led us to where Rarity was taken.

"Holy molly, that's a lotta holes" said Pinkie.

"Come on, girls! Let's get started" said Twi as the holes started to be filled. "Quick! We gotta get down one before they're all filled up" she said. They didn't get to one of the holes quick enough.

"We gotta save her" said AJ.

"But they blocked up all the holes" said Flutters.

"What are we gonna do?" Asked Twi.

"I got it! I'll save you, my sweet" said Spike suddenly.

"Huh?" Asked the mane five.

Spike had made a fishing rod somehow and stuck a gem to the hook and threw it down a hole that recently opened.

"Spike, it is very noble of you-" Twi tried to say before i cut her off.

"To sacrifice the gem Rarity gave you" i said sarcastically, he didn't seem to pick up on that.

"I got a bite!" Said Spike as he started geting pulled down the hole.

"Hold on there, little fella" said AJ as she grabbed him and started geting dragged down as well.

"Applejack!" Said Twi as she chased AJ and Spike after they had been pulled down the hole.

"Twilight!" Said Rainbow as she followed Twi.

"Oh my goodness" said Flutters as she followed.

"Wait for me!" Said Pinkie as she jumped down the hole.

"Allons-y" i said as i followed up to them.

"It worked! We're in! Now we can finally save Rarity!" Said Spike.

"Um... Which way do we go?" I asked.

"NO!" Yelled Spike.

After we had walked around the tunnels for awhile.

"All these tunnels... How are we ever gonna find Rarity?" Asked Twi.

"This could take forever! There's gotta be way to narrow which tunnel's the right one down" said Rainbow.

"I know! I bet they've taken Rarity down the tunnel with the most gems" said Spike.

"But Spike, Rarity is the only one who knows how to find gems" said Twi.

"No, Twilight. You can! You can copy Rarity's gem-finding spell" said Spike.

"Oh my gosh! You're right! Rarity showed me how she did it a while back" said Twi as she cast the spell.

"That's it. You did it, Twilight! Come on! We're coming, Rarity. We'll save you. Just hold on" said Spike as we ran down the tunnel.

After about ten minutes

"We're getting close. I can feel it" Said Twi. Soon after we heard crying coming from the other end of the tunnel.

"It's coming from down here. Come on!" Said Spike as we started running again.

We ran into a big open part of the tunnel system and got into a fight with some Diamond Dogs.

"Whoa, doggies. If you can take this bull by the horns, you better be ready for a ride. Come on, ponies! Kick 'em up, kick 'em out. Buck 'em up, buck 'em down" Said AJ as she fought off a few Dogs. After fighting them off we where running to find Rarity again.

We approached a huge room.

"Lady Rarity, I'm here to save you!" Said Spike as we ran into the room.

"Save us! Please, save us! Make it stop! Please!" Said the Diamond Dogs.

"Excuse me?" Asked Twi.

"So picky" said one of the dogs.

"And critical" said another dog.

"She won't stop talking" continued the first dog.

"And crying" said a third dog.

"We give her back" said the second dog as he pushed Rarity towards us

"Rarity! You're safe!" Said Spike as he ran up to her.

"Why, yes. Hello, girls. You arrived just in time to assist me" said Rarity.

"Assist you with what?" I asked.

"With those" said Rarity pointing to all the jewels.

"You're letting her leave with all these jewels?" I asked.

"Yes. Take them. And her with them" said the first dog.

"Please!" said the third dog.

After we left the tunnels.

"I can't believe you found all these gems!" Said Pinkie.

"I can't believe you tricked all those dogs" said Rainbow.

"Just because I'm a lady doesn't mean I cannot handle myself in a sticky situation. I had them wrapped around my hoof the entire time" said Rarity.

"I can't wait to write to Princess Celestia to tell her what you taught me today" said Twi.

"Me? What did I teach you?" Asked Rarity.

"Just because somepony is ladylike doesn't make her weak. In fact, by using her wits, a seemingly defenseless pony can be the one who outsmarts and outshines them all" said Twi.

"'Outshines' is right. Now you have enough gems to cover Sapphire Shores' costumes" said Spike as he eat a gem.

"Not if you eat them all, Spike" i said.

A Bird in The Hoof

Author's Note

Sorry this didn't come out yesterday, I was busy with real world crap.

A Bird in The Hoof

A week had passed. Celestia was in town for some reason. Me, Twi and Rainbow where waiting for Flutters outside of sugar cube corner.

"So, what do I have to do to get to be one of the Princess's royal guards, anyway? Is the pay good?" Rainbow asked a guard. "Hello? Anybody home?" She asks him when he doesn't respond. "You're good. Too good" she said as Flutters run up to us.

"Made it" said Flutters as she caught her breath.

"Halt!" Said the guard Rainbow was pestering.

"Who goes there?" Asked a second guard.

"It's all right, sirs" i said.

"She's on the list" added Twi.

"Thanks, you two" said Flutters

"I'm glad you could make it, Flutters" i said.

"It wouldn't be the same without you" said Rainbow as we all headed inside.

"Sorry I'm late. I had to finish taking care of a patient first" said Flutters.

"Oh, you and your tender loving care of little animals. I just know Princess Celestia is gonna love that about you. I mean, I hope she will... I mean, of course she will!" Said Twi.

"Wow, Twilight. I thought I was the only one who got nervous at social gatherings" said Flutters.

"Oh, it's not that. She just want's the princess to approve of her friends" i said.

"But she's met us all before" said Rainbow.

"And read about you in my letters. But this is the first time she's spent any real time with you. I want everypony to make a good impression" said Twi.

"Well, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. Besides, it's just a casual get-together, right?" Asked Flutters.

"Don't touch me! Watch the dress! Careful, you're gonna spill that on me! Oh, oh, that looks delicious. What is it? Oh, does it stain?! Keep it away from me!" Said Rarity on the other side of the room.

"Perhaps not that casual" i said.

"Uh... which is the salad and which is the appetizer again? And which am I supposed to eat first? Oh, never mind. I'm not hungry" said AJ from the table.

"It's okay, Twilight. So our friends' manners aren't perfect. I doubt the princess will even notice" said Flutters.

After awhile Celestia had properly met all of Twi's friends except for me and Flutters.

"And what about you, dear? Fluttershy, is it?" Asked Celestia.

"Me? Oh yes, Your Highness" said Flutters.

"I understand from Twilight Sparkle's letters that you enjoy tending to the needs of woodland creatures" said Celestia.

"Yes, I love to take care of animals" said Flutters.

"As do I. As Princess, I care deeply about all creatures, great and small" said Celestia. "Nothing means more to me than the well-being of all my subjects" she continued as a bird in a nearby birdcage squawked. "Philomena, my pet. You're awake. Do say hello to our gracious hosts" she said.

"Oh... my" said Flutters.

"She is quite a sight, isn't she?" Asked Celestia.

"I've never seen anything like it" said Flutters.

A guard walked up to Celestia and whispered into her ear.

"Really? Well, if I must" said Celestia quietly. "I'm sorry, everypony. I'm afraid I have to cut the party short. The mayor has requested an audience with me. Royal duty calls. Thank you for a wonderful time. It's been a joy getting to know you all better" said Celestia as she left with her guards.

"Well, I don't know for sure how things went with the princess, but at least no big disasters happened" said Twi as Flutters walked up to Philomena's cage.

"Oh, you poor little thing. How did you ever get in such bad condition? Don't you worry, Philomena. I'll nurse you back to health. As a favor to the princess, who's obviously just far too busy to care for you properly" said Flutters as she grabed the cage and ran away.

A few hours later me and Twi where knocking on Flutters door.

"Hi, Fluttershy! I just wanted to drop by and say thank you so very much for making such a good impression on the princess today" Twi said. then she noticed Philomena. "What is Celestia's pet doing here?!" She asked.

"I couldn't leave the poor thing there. She needed my help" said Flutters.

"Oh no. This is bad" said Twi.

"How could I just walk away and not do anything?" Asked Flutters.

"But she doesn't belong to you!" Said Twi.

"I had to do something" said Flutters.

"Without telling anypony?! Without asking permission?!" Asked Twi. "I know you had good intentions, but you have got to return the princess's pet!" She said.

"You're right, let's go" said Flutters.

"If we hurry, we can put her back before anypony even realizes she's missing" i said as there was a knock at the door. "Hide the bird" i whispered as I opened the door.

"We were told we could find Twilight Sparkle here" said Guard one. I stepped out of the way reveling Twi.

"We regret to inform you, miss, that the royal pet has gone missing" said guard two.

"Really?" Asked Twi.

"Well then you guards better be on your way if you're gonna find the princess's missing pet. Philomena, was it? Thank you ever so much for keeping us in the loop" i said before they left.

"Aren't going to return Philomena?" Asked Flutters.

"We can't now" said Twi.

"Why not?" I asked.

"You have no idea what the princess is gonna do if she finds out that Fluttershy is the one who took her pet, do you?!" Asked Twi.

"Do you?" Asked Flutters.

"Well, no. But it can't be anything good. She might banish you from Equestria. Or throw you in a dungeon. Or banish you and then throw you in a dungeon in the place that she banishes you to!" Said Twi.

"You really think the princess would do that?" I asked.

"Okay. Granted that probably won't happen, but do you wanna take any chances?" Asked Twi.

"All that really matters to me is that poor little Philomena here gets well" said Flutters.

"That's very noble of you. I'll write to you when you're banished. Unless I'm banished too somewhere there's no post office. Then you'll have to write to me. Deal?" Asked Twi.

"Please, Twilight. You just have to help me get Philomena healthy and then we can return her to the princess. And everything will be fine" said Flutters.

"Did you give her any kind of medicine?" I asked.

"I tried to, but she wouldn't take it" said Flutters.

"Then you have to make her take it. You can't be such a pushover, Fluttershy! You need to show this patient who's the boss. Make her straighten up and fly right!" Said Twi.

"She can't fly" said Flutters.

"No excuses!" Said Twi.

After a bunch of attempts at healing the damn bird.

"It's for your own good, Philomena, I promise. Please, just relax and try to get some sleep" said Flutters.

"What's this soup over here? Smells delicious" i said.

"I made it for Philomena. But she wouldn't eat it" said Flutters.

"Oh, she'll eat it, all right" said Twi as she grabbed the soup. Philomena squawked in fear at this and flew out an open window.

"No! Philomena! Come back!" Said Flutters as we all chased after the damned bird.

We chased her into Ponyville and started running by our other friends.

"What are you three doing? Are you having a race?" Asked Rainbow.

"Excuse us!" I said as we ran between Rarity, AJ and pinkie.

"Sorry, but we've gotta find-" Flutters tried to say before a guard yelling cut her off.

"The princess's pet bird!" The guard yelled pointing to the top of a fountain.

"Philomena, come down from there! You'll hurt yourself!" Said Flutters as she ran over to the fountain.

It was at this point Philomena burst into flames and Flutters started crying.

"What is going on here Twilight?" Asked Celestia as she walked up to us.

"Yes, your Majesty, there's been a terrible accident" said Twi.

"It's all my fault" said Flutters.

"No, Princess. Fluttershy didn't know any better. It was my fault" said Twi.

"I'm the one who did it" said Flutters.

"But you were only trying to help" i said.

"Some help I was" said Flutters.

"Will ya let me do this? She'll go easier on me" said Twi.

"But it's my fault!" Said Flutters.

"No, it's my fault!" Said Twi.

"No, it's my fault! Wait, what are we talking about?" Asked Pinkie.

"Thanks for trying to protect me, Twilight, but... Princess Celestia, I'm the one who took your pet bird. I really was only trying to help the poor little thing. Then I was gonna bring it right back to you, honest. So, if you wanna banish me go ahead" Said Flutters.

"Oh, stop fooling around, Philomena. You're scaring everypony" said Celestia as she walked over to the pile pf ashes. Not long after the ashes burst into flames and a bird on fire came out of said flames.

"I don't understand! What is that thing? What happened to Philomena?" Asked Flutters.

"That is Philomena. She's quite a sight, as Celestia said. But nothing unusual for a phoenix. Isn't that right, Celestia?" I asked.

"A phoenix?" Asked Flutters.

"A phoenix is a majestic and magical bird. While it appears healthy and happy most of the time, every so often it must renew itself by shedding all of its feathers and bursting into flame. Rather melodramatic, if you ask me. It then rises from the ashes, fresh as a daisy. All just a normal part of the life cycle of a phoenix. I'm afraid mischievous little Philomena here took the occasion to have a little fun with you, Fluttershy" Celestia explained. "Say you're sorry, young lady" Celestia said to her bird. Philomena made an 'I'm sorry' sound.

"So... aren't you gonna banish me? Or throw me in a dungeon? Or banish me and then throw me in a dungeon in the place that you banish me to?" Asked Flutters.

"Of course not, my little pony. Where on Earth would you get such an idea?" Asked Celestia.

"Twilight has quite the imagination" i said.

"I appreciate that your heart was in the right place, child. But all you had to do was ask me and I could have told you Philomena was a phoenix and saved you all this trouble" Celestia said to Flutters.

"I know. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. Next time I'll ask before taking matters into my own hand's" said Flutters.

A couple hours later and Celestia was hanging out with me, Spike and Twi in the Treebrary.

"I didn't get to talk to you at brunch earlier" said Celestia. "I'd like to know more about you.

"I'll tell you my story at the grand galloping gall in a couple weeks" i said.

"I guess i can wait that long" said Celestia. "Goodbye Twilight, Goodbye Spike" said Celestia as she teleported away.

Party of One

It's been a week sense the Philomena incident. Pinkie had thrown a party yesterday for her pet alligator. Now she was in the Treebrary with me and Twi.

"It's soon!" Said Pinkie.

"Pardon me?" Asked Twi.

"You said we should have another party soon, and... it's soon! Here's your invitations!" She said Handing me and Twi invitations.

"'You're invited to Gummy's 'after-birthday' party. This afternoon at 3 o'clock'" I read off the invitation.

"All our best-est friends are invited, and there's gonna be dancing, and games, and cake, and ice-cream, and punch!" Said Pinkie.

"This afternoon?" I asked.

"As in, this afternoon this afternoon?" Asked Twi.

"Yes, indeedy!" Said Pinkie.

"Oh, gosh. I wish I could make it, but I've gotten a bit behind in my studies. I've really gotta hit the books" said Twi.

"And i promised to help her.

"I understand. Your studies come first" Pinkie said to Twi. "And your promise to your friend comes first" she said to me. "But don't worry, we'll be sure to save you two some cake" she said to both of us.

"Please do" Twi and me said as Pinkie started to leave.

"Oh! And Twilight, you shouldn't hit the books. You should really just read them" said Pinkie as she walked out the door.

"I'll keep that in mind" said Twi as she closed the door.

It was later in the afternoon, Twi and me where where walking into Sugar Cube Corner.

"Oh! You must be here for-" Mrs. Cake tried to say before I cut her off.

"Is Pinkie Pie around?" I asked.

"Oh, I don't think so" said Mrs. Cake.

"Good. We don't wanna her to know anything about this" said Twi.

"Yes, of course. I'll be right back" said Mrs. Cake as she went into the kitchen. "There you go" she said as she came back out of the kitchen with a cake box.

"Thanks, and remember, not a word to Pinkie Pie" i said.

Me and Twi had walked to Sweet Apple Acres.

"She didn't see you at the sweet shop, did she?" Asked Rarity.

"I don't think so" i said.

"Oh, good. I'd hate for her to ruin everything" said Rarity.

"Me too" said Twi.

"Have you seen her?" Rarity asked Flutters.

"Not since this morning" said Flutters.

"Me neither. Can you believe she was planning on throwing an after-birthday party today?" Asked Twi.

"I'm just glad I was able to come up with an excuse for why I couldn't be there" said Flutters.

"Me too! This is obviously going to be so much better" said Rarity.

"As long as we keep her from finding out about it, it will" i said.

A couple hours later and Rainbow was leading Pinkie to the barn.

"Surprise!" The Mane Five, Spike and myself said as Pinkie ran into the barn. But she didn't look happy.

"I really thought she'd be more excited" said Flutters.

"Excited?! Why would I be excited to attend my own farewell party?!" Asked Pinkie.

"Farewell party?" Asked Spike.

"Yes! You don't like me anymore, so you decided to kick me out of the group and throw a great, big party to celebrate! A 'Farewell to Pinkie Pie' party!" Said Pinkie.

"Why in the world would you think we didn't like you anymore, sugarcube?" Asked AJ.

"Why?! Because you've been lying to me and avoiding me all day, that's why!" Said Pinkie.

"Uh, yeah! Because we wanted your party to be a surprise" said Rainbow.

"We'd been planning this party for such a long time, we had to make excuses for why we couldn't attend Gummy's party so that we could get everything ready for yours" said Rarity.

"If this is a farewell party, why does the cake I picked up from Sugar Cube Corner say 'Happy Birthday, Pinkie Pie'?" Asked Twi.

"Because it's my birthday! Ooh, how could I have forgotten my own birthday?" Asked Pinkie, happy again. "And you like me so much you decided to throw me a surprise party!" She said.

"That's what we've been trying to tell you, darling" said Rarity.

"You seven are the best friends ever! How could I have ever doubted you?" Asked Pinkie.

"It's okay, Pinkie Pie. It could have happened to any of us" said Twi.

"Uh-huh! It sure could" said Rainbow.

"Don't worry about it" i said.

"I'm just glad I haven't been replaced by a bucket of turnips" said Rainbow.

"Huh?" Asked most present.

"You don't wanna know" said Rainbow.

"All right, girls! Enough of this gab. Let's party!" Said AJ.

"You girls wouldn't mind if we celebrated Gummy's after-birthday party too, would you? His party was cut short, and he's pretty upset about it" said Pinkie.

"Oh, definitely" said Flutters.

"He was upset?" Asked Rarity, Spike and Twi.

"Uh-huh, sure!" Said AJ.

"For Gummy, yeah!" Said Rainbow.

"Yeah, why not? Let's have a party for Gummy" i said.

The Ticket Master

It had been a couple days sense i got the space stone. Me, Spike and Twi where on AJ's farm helping her harvest apples. When suddenly Spike burped up a letter and started to read it.

"Hear ye, hear ye. Her Grand Royal Highness, Princess Celestia of Equestria, is pleased to announce the Grand Galloping Gala to be held in the magnificent capital city of Canterlot, on the 21st day of, eh, yadda yadda yadda, cordially extends an invitation to Twilight Sparkle plus one guest" he read as he reviled two tickets.

"I just realized i gotta do something" i said as i clenched the fist the infinity gauntlet was on and the space stone glowed opening a portal which i stepped through. I exited the portal in Canterlot Castle in the middle of day court. All the nobles started losing there shit.

"Your majesties" i said as i bowed.

"My little ponies would you please live me and my sister to talk with this being?" Asked Celestia. After she asked all the nobles left.

"What are you dong here Pax?" Asked Luna.

"Twilight received her invitation to the gala" i said. "And now she's trying to decide which of her friends to take to it" i continued. "Im here to ask that you send her enough tickets so all of her friends can go" i concluded.

"Of course i will, do you want one as well?" She asked.

"Normally id say no, but i know those girls will want me to go with them, so yes" i said. She made six tickets appear and sent them to Twi. Not long after she received a letter from Twi thank her for more tickets because her friends where driving her crazy asking for one of hers.

"Id love to say im surprised, but im really not" i said.

"Nither am i" Celestia said with a smirk.

"I guess ill be on my way" i said as i opened another portal and walked up to it. "Goodbye Luna, Goodbye Celestia" i said to the princesses as i walked through the portal and ended up in the treebrary.

"And ware have you been?" Asked Twi.

"I was talking with Celestia and Luna, asked them to send you more tickets" i said.

"Thank you!" Practically all but yelled the five mares who didn't originally receive tickets. Not long after all five of them had left with there respective ticket.

"Thank you" said Twi. "They where driving me crazy" she continued.

"No problem" i said as i walked over to the couch and sat down. "Anything for a friend" i said as Twi and Spike sat next to me on the couch, them finally being left alone. Not long later Twi's stomach growled. "Wanna go get some food?" i asked.

"Yep" said Twi and Spike at the same time.

Author's Note

sorry for the shorter chapter, couldn't find a way to extend it to a thousand words in a way that made sense.
