My Little Family

So, it’s been about two months now. I can talk, but it hurts a little bit, and my voice is a little raspy. But, soon it’ll be good. I hope my voice heals quicker. The quicker it heals, the quicker Puppet and I can hold shows. The past few shows we held have been pretty good. I’m hoping Puppet and I can play in a stadium at some point.

I also haven’t seen any signs of the animatronics recently, so that’s good. Everyone else is doing good. I also had lunch with Celestia a few times. We mainly just talked about some of our past memories.

A few days after my voice was done healing, I got a letter sent from Cadence.

Dear Johnny,

We, being Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, heard that you lost your voice due to screaming while being tied up. First we would like to say we are sorry to hear about that happening to you. We thought that to celebrate you getting your voice back, we would throw you a party, here at the Crystal Empire. It will be on the 25th. If you have any questions, please write back.

From, Cadence

‘This is nice,’ I thought, ‘throwing a party for me.’ Though, I did have on question.

Dear Cadence and Shining Armor,

I do have one question about the party. Is it okay if Queen Chrysalis and Marionette come. I think you let Puppet (Marionette) come, but I wanted to make sure you were fine with him coming. It’s mainly Chrysalis I’m asking for to come. I understand why you would be mad at her, after what happened at the wedding. But, like I said before, she has turned good. You can even ask Twilight and her friends. Not only that, but the last time I came to Crystal Empire, they had to stay behind, and it wouldn’t be fair if they had to stay behind again. Also, I haven’t hung out with them for a while. After seeing me in my state when I was mute (I don’t know if anyone told you this, but I also had some bruises), they got choked up and didn’t want to see me like that, so I stayed with Twilight at her castle for three months. I would really appreciate it if you let them come. Also, it is just me going, or will Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy be coming.

From, Johnny Soaps

I then went over to Twilight’s castle. I found her in her library reading a book. I knocked on the wall to let her know I was here.

“Who is it?” she asked.

“It’s Johnny.” I replied. She looked up from her book and at me.

“Oh, hi Johnny. How come you’re here?”

“If it’s okay, I need Spike to send a letter to Princess Cadence.”

“Oh, alright. I’ll have him send.”

“Also, is it okay if I wait around here until she sends a letter back?”

“Sure.”

She trotted off to get Spike. About a minute later, she came back.

“What book were you reading?” I ask her.

“Oh, I was reading Daring Do. Do you read anything?” She asks.

“Well, I’ve been reading this series by Gordon Korman. Right now, I think it’s book four I’m on. It’s about this kid that gets framed for stealing a really expensive ring, and his friends have to help him prove he’s innocent.”

“That sounds interesting.”

“Yeah, it’s really intriguing. I could lend you the first book in the series if you would like me to.”

“Really!?”

“Yeah. When I get the letter, I’ll get it for you.” She jumped over to me and hugged me.

“Thank you so much!”

“No problem.” She kept holding onto me until I finally said, “Um, Twilight, not really trying to be rude, but do you think you could stop hugging me?”

“Oh, sure.” She stepped back and sat back down in her seat.

“Sorry, I was caught up in the moment. So what was-”

“Twilight,” Discord started as he appeared out of nowhere, “Fluttershy wanted to-” he looked at me, “Oh, you must be the human Fluttershy has been talking about. Johnny, right?” he asked.

“Yes, my name is Johnny. What’s yours?”

“Discord.”

“Well, it’s nice to meet you.” I said holding out my hand.

“It’s nice to meet you too.” He said, shaking my hand. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m waiting for a letter to arrive for me.”

“Ah, alright.”

Spike then came in through the door. “Johnny, your letter’s here.” Spike said.

I walked over and said, “Thanks Spike.” I said, grabbing the letter. I opened it and read it.

Dear Johnny,

Since it is your party, we will let you decide who you invite. But, please don’t invite to many ponies.

From, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor

“Alright.” I said to myself. I turned around and said, “So, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor are throwing me a party for me since I am now healed. So, how would you guys to come?”

“Really?” They all said in unison.

“Yeah. Well, if you’re free, that is.”

“We would love to come, Johnny.” Twilight said.

“Alright. How about you, Discord?” I asked him.

“I’ll see if I can come.” He said, before disappearing.

“Alright. I’m going to get your book, Twilight, and I’ll go tell the others that they’ve been invited.

I went back to my house to get Twilight’s book, and ran into Puppet and Chrysi on the way.

“Hey guys.” I said.

“Hey.” They said.

“So, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor are throwing me a party for healing and I would like to know if you guys would like to come.”

“Really?” They asked.

“Yeah. I felt bad that you guys didn’t come last time, so I asked them if you guys could come this time, and they said yes.”

“Sure, I would love to come.” Puppet said.

“I’ll come.” Chrysi said.

“Alright. I’ll see you guys later. I’ve got to lend Twilight a book and inform the others they’ve been invited.”

“Bye.” They said.

I went up to my bedroom to get the book, and when I turned around, Discord was right there.

“Hello.” I said calmly.

“You aren’t scared?” He asked.

“No. What’s up?”

“So remember how I said Fluttershy’s been talking about you?”

“Yes.”

“One of the things she talked about was the show you put on when Pinkie threw the party for you.”

“Alright.”

“I was wondering if I could join your band?” I paused. I never thought he knew how to play an instrument.

“What instrument do you play.”

“Drums.”

“Really? I would have never thought. I guess, but you’ll have to try out.”

“Alright.”

“What songs do you know?”

“Oh Johnny, when you’re thousands of years old, you have a lot of time on your hands. I can play any song.”

“Thousands of years. Wow.”

“You didn’t know that?”

“No.” As I walked out of the room, Discord chuckled.

“Stop lying. I know you know that. I know you also know about the show.”

When I heard him say this, I rushed back into the room, and closed the door.

“Alright, so I do know. But, you have to be quiet. Chrysi is downstairs.”

“It looks like you haven’t told them that they only exist because of the show. I’m glad you haven’t; we both know that would cause total chaos. But, I have one question. Why were you putting on an act for me?”

“I didn’t know if you knew about the show or not.”

He looked at me, and started laughing.

“You think I wouldn’t know? I know songs that aren’t even from my universe, and you think I wouldn’t know about the show?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s funny.”

“Do you want to audition or not?”

“Oh yeah. Let’s go.”

We walked out of the room, and as we walked down the stairs, I said, “Hey guys.”

“Hey.” They responded, then they said, “Wait a minute!”

“Johnny, who is this?” Puppet asked.

“Puppet, this is Discord. He is going to be trying out to be our drummer.”

“Oh, alright.”

“Discord, this is Marionette and Queen Chrysalis. Puppet and Chrysi, this is Discord.”

“Hello.” Discord said.

“Let’s do this.” I said.

We all went down to the recording studio.

“Alright. Go in there, sit by the drum set, put these headphones on, and we will start.” I said.

Discord did that, and I pressed on the talk button, and said, “Alright. The first song is ‘Nice Guys Finish Last’ by Green Day.”

I pressed the play button, and he played it all right. He also played “All The Small Things” by Blink 182 right, and “Praying For Daylight” by Rascal Flatts.

“Alright give me and Puppet a second to talk it over.”

We whispered to each other for a second, then I looked at Discord, and said, “Alright Discord. We’ve talked it over, and you’re in.”

“Yes!” he exclaimed.

He then snapped his fingers so he was out of the booth, and hugged me and said, “Thank you so much!”

“You’re welcome. Now I’ve got to go and do some things. Bye!”

I went through the portal, gave Twilight the book, then went to Starlight, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie and told them they were invited.
