Ch 20 - Bad Mojo Everywhere

----------(GINSENG HOUSEHOLD, EVERFREE FOREST, THURSDAY MIDNIGHT)----------

It was a very dark midnight at the Ginseng secret household. Glowing under the starless night sky was an oil lamp-lit front-yard swimming pool area. The tiled surroundings around the fenced man-made pool was void of party guests and had only a few synthetic plastic palm trees to bring out the natural finesse. Instead, it was only occupied by Delft Blue and his crime boss, who were NOT having a very good night, as they had experienced a couple unfortunate events over the past week, since their kidnapped 'adoption' of their 'godson' from the hospital.

Sitting on the white plastic lawn chair on the tiled front-yard patio was the red-faced (and coated) Ginseng Dragon, who was bent forward from his hips and scratching ferociously on his wet soaking lion-like black mane, while wearing his usual golden-laced bathrobe. His right-hand command, Delft Blue, was in his usual dark-blue silk shirt and dark pants, spraying a pressured shower of cold water from his hose, in which it was levitated above Ginseng Dragon's itchy head by Delft Blue's telekinesis. To bring on the high pressure within the hose, Delft Blue used the rushing waterfall spell he had learnt from Sunny Boy's study on household magic and concentrated that thrusting power within the entire hose, which was connected to a nearby carbonated spring well underneath.

"Stop scratching so hard, Dragon Head! Or else your mane's gonna fall out and your scalp's gonna bleed more often!", advised Delft Blue as he continued spraying the multiple jets of water from the green rubber hose.

"I can't help it, all right??!! My dragon head feels like it got a party of fire ants square dancing1 on top of my scalp!!", vociferously roared the lion-voiced Ginseng Dragon as he continued to rapidly scratch away the burning itches in his scalp. His cloven hooves and red coat was beginning to show of glowing blue and white veins across his body and face.

"Didn't you try the golden-flaked tonic shampoo I bought from the Fragrant and Floral brothers??", asked Delft Blue as he tried to turn his face away from the droplets spread from Ginseng's rapid kneading of his mane.

"YES, I DID! And I think it just made it WORSE!! You sure there's no vitamin A palmitate in that exotic brand?!! My doctor told me to avoid shampoo products with that ingredient if I ever caught the wicked itch on my head!!", informed the head-scratching rough-voiced Ginseng Dragon.

"Uhhhhhh, not that I know of, Saan Jyu", nervously replied Delft Blue as he started to dart his eyes side-to-side. "There was no ingredient list label on that F&F brand!"

Suddenly, Ginseng Dragon rose from his seat, picked up his white towel and scrubbed his wet frazzled mane dry. All that fiery blue and white streaks on his body were now gone and his voice no longer sounded like a growling tiger.

"HEY, where are you going, Saan Jyu?!", asked the surprised Delft Blue as he looked up at the frustrated Ginseng Dragon.

"I'm going to continue practicing my martial arts routine now! Have our men laid out the broken glass for me!", ordered Ginseng Dragon as he ferociously rubbed his wet mane dry with his white towel.

----------(5 MINUTES LATER)----------

As soon as all the broken shards of (sugar) glass was laid out on the blue-silk carpet on the grassy lawn, Ginseng Dragon pumped himself up with all the chi energy he had in his soul. With his eyes shut tight, his right-handed three-finger palm brought close to his chest and his left cloven hand grasping hard on his right wrist, he immediately yelled out his mantra from the bottom of his raging heart and cast a red bright aura from his red horn

"By the POWER OF THE SIX INVINCIBLE ELEMENTS OF KUNG-FU, let thy master possess my fighting spirit and protect me!"

He then let out a lion's mighty roar from his voice, shined his bright red aura around his horn and readily leapt from one of the blue carpet and slammed his callus hooves onto the broken glass---

And then suddenly screamed out an ear-piercing screech from his lungs as he instantly opened his eyes super wide to the sudden pain searing from his right lower hoof!

"YYYEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As soon as the kirin bodyguards heard his screams of agonizing pain and saw him collapse onto his butt over the grassy lawn, they immediately rushed to his aid to evaluate on their Dragon Head's physical condition.

"What's wrong, Dragon Head??! Is something the matter??!", shouted one of the kirin bodyguards.

"HEY, what happened??!! I heard screaming!!", shouted Delft Blue as he immediately rushed out of the back door of the Ginseng household.

As soon as Delft Blue saw his crime boss wailing in pain on the lawn and holding dearly onto his right hoof, he quickly ran from the patio and onto the lawn, before rushing to his boss in dire need.

"What is it, boss??!! Are you hurt??!!", asked the surprised Delft Blue before he crouched down to his boss, before he soon realized what had happened to his boss' right hoof. Stuck within the frog2 of his hoof was a piece of glass shard that had pierced into his soft underside!

"It's the broken glass!! My HOOF'S been cut open!!", cried the blue-and-magenta flaming white-eyed Ginseng Dragon as he bared his razor sharp teeth from his muzzle.

As Ginseng Dragon was being comforted and held by his two kirin bodyguards behind him, Delft Blue quickly rummaged through the sugar glass and feel something somewhat sharp within his fingers. He quickly picked it up and saw a red-soaked piece of jagged shard within the scattered glass.

"WHAT THE---??!!! WHY the hell is there real glass on this carpet??!!!", shouted the surprised Delft Blue as he examined the piece of shard between his fingertips.

"What the hell are you talking about?? What do you MEAN by 'real glass'??!", growled the hot-glowing Ginseng Dragon as he stared at Delft Blue with his bright white eyes. His dark mane was now beginning to give of blue and magenta embers. Quickly, one kirin bodyguard rushed for the front-yard pool, dipped the white towel into the cold water and returned as fast as possible to wrap the wet cold towel around the blue-and-magenta inferno on his boss' head.

Sweating nervously, Delft Blue quickly changed his thoughts and said to him, "UHHH, I mean---WAIT, that's actually been REAL glass this whole time??!!"

"Help Dragon Head up to his seat!", shouted one of the two kirin bodyguards, before they levitated their injured crime boss from the grassy lawn and took him to a wicker chair beside the glass iron-framed table, which was underneath the oil lamp-lit patio.

"Be careful with him! He's pretty fired up right now!", shouted Delft Blue as the two kirin bodyguards slowly lowered the blue-and-magenta flaming red-coated kirin (or possibly nirik) crime boss onto the wicker chair. During his levitation, Ginseng Dragon was still grasping tightly onto his right pierced hoof in a cradling position and his entire body was now slowly turning into a shadowy black.

With no time to wait, the kirin bodyguard quickly took a syringe out of his tuxedo pocket and injected the black syrup-like liquid into the nirik boss' neck, which in turn caused the kirin to revert back to his original (though still hot-headed) self and he was still clenching hard onto this right hoof.

"UUGGHH, not even this opium is helping me dull out the pain!", cried Ginseng Dragon. "I've been using it for so much to tone down my nirik fits, that my body has become used to its euphoric effects! Just how unlucky have I been so lately??!!", cried the hoof-bleeding Dragon Head as he continued to sit down and grasp on his right hoof.

"How unlucky??!! HOW UNLUCKY??!! Boss, the question you should actually be asking is, how LONG have you've been so unlucky!!??", shouted the frustrated Delft Blue as he crouched down towards his boss' head level.

"Boss, haven't you've been noticing what's been happening all around you over the past week? There's been nothing but bad luck happening to you on a daily basis!", cried the flustered Delft Blue. "I think that prophecy that was told by your fortune teller---about your future successor..."

"Yeah, what about my godson?!", shouted the wincing Ginseng Dragon as he felt a sharp explosion of pain emanating from his right hoof, before Delft Blue quickly explained to his boss

"...Well, ever since you decided to spare that Vice-Stallion from that assassin you hired, you've been shot in the head by a rogue sling shooter! Then, after you adopted him from the hospital as your 'godson', you got shot in the ass by a poisonous arrow and had to endure 20 butt cheek injections from our private doctor! THEN your scalp got red and itchy, THEN you ended up stepping on REAL glass instead of---!"

Delft Blue immediately stopped talking before he ended up incriminating himself, scared that his boss would rage in front of him again for tricking him into stepping on fake glass. He later continued on with his explanation

"LOOK, the point is---you've been experiencing one bad luck event after another whenever Sunny Boy got involved in your parties and your criminal activities..."

"Soooo....", grunted the Ginseng Dragon in a sustained manner, "That fraudulent scam artist, Mister Lucky Dew...he had lied to me about my upcoming fate this WHOLE time, hasn't he??!"

Now more furious than ever, Ginseng's face displayed blue-and-magenta flaming streaks emanating from his fiery eyes, though he was not too close to becoming a rampaging nirik. Turning his flashy hot-maned face to the nervous Delft Blue, he placed his left hand over his right-hand command's left shoulder and growled,

"Send our boys over to the Grove3 to put a green-light on Lucky Dew!"

"Of course!", obeyed Delft Blue before he stepped out of the patio and cast his phase summoning spell from his horn to bring out five more kirin bodyguards to his vicinity.

"ALL OF YOU! Hire some Thracians over to the Grove and have them hunt down the one called 'Lucky Dew'!", ordered Delft Blue the deputy officer, before handing them a photo of the intended target.

"YES, Deputy Blue!", shouted the kirin bodyguards before they head off into the bushy Everfree forest under the cover of darkness.

Then suddenly, a dark grey-furred Diamond Dog with a black vinyl satchel bag came rushing in, scaring the fluffy mane out of Delft Blue as he saw the dog leap onto the yard from the darkness!

"A telegraph message from the Kirin Grove!!", barked the telegram delivery dog as he handed out a piece of paper from his satchel bag.

"You sure you weren't followed??", questioned Delft Blue as he took the telegram from the canine's paw.

"RUFF!!! A Triad runner NEVER leaves behind witnesses to our communications", growled the yellow-eyed messenger dog as he showed off his bloody canine teeth, before heading off into the darkness to deliver more underground telegrams.

As soon as Delft Blue started to peruse through the telegram message, he suddenly started to gasp, weep, howl, moan and wail as he read each and every short-written sentence of the telegram.

"AAAAAAHH, EEEEEEPP, OOOOOOHHH, WWWAAAAAHHH, HUUUUUHHH, AAAAAIIIIIEEEEEE, WWHEEEEHHH!!!!"

After Delft Blue was finished reading the message, he quickly ran to Ginseng Dragon and told about about the upcoming bad news from the Grove. As he spoke, Ginseng Dragon was blowing and fanning hard toward his glass wound.

"Saan Jyu, I got an underground telegram message from the Grove!! Your friend Gingko Dragon is coming back here to Ponyville very soon!!"

"GINGKO!??!!", shouted Ginseng Dragon as he lifted his head up in surprise at the sudden news and grasped very hard on both armrests of his wicker chair. "But that means----I'm not gonna be Dragon Head of the Triads anymore!!!"

----------(FLASHBACK MOMENT TO 11 MONTHS AGO AT THE GROVE)----------

It was a very stormy yet refreshing blue-moon night at the docks that jutted out into the Lost Lagoon. The waves were swaying very roughly on the dark blue lagoon, with only the lightly-maned Ginseng Dragon standing near the edge of the dock with another green-coated male kirin with a fluffy canary-blonde mane. Both kirin men were wearing their white shirt and short swimming trunks and were taking in the fresh salty air blowing across the lagoon.

As Gingko Dragon stood on the dock with his trusted companion, he turned to Ginseng and placed his hand over his shoulder and told him

"My dear friend Ginseng...I'm really sorry that I had to leave Western Equestria at a time like this! There's no other place for me to hide from the Royal Guards anymore! I need to lie low back in the Grove until this investigative manhunt finally dies down!"

Ginseng Dragon could only watch his friend's worried face with sadness...

"That's why...from now on, you have to take over as temporary Dragon Head of my operations for me..."

Ginseng Dragon then grasped his kirin friend's elbows and stared happily with his tearful eyes, before he told him

"Not to worry, Gingko! You pass down your empire to me, I'll turn those indebted deficits into prosperous profits! By the time you come back from your exile, all of us will be ready with bated breath to serve you without question!!"

Gingko Dragon sniffed and teared up after hearing his companions' heart-mending speech and replied

"...You are my one true blood-bound brother in the whole world, Ginseng!"

Both family-bound brothers began to hug it out with each other as the crashing lagoon waves soak up the dock...

----------(PRESENT NIGHT AT THE GINSENG HOUSEHOLD)----------

"SO, what are you suggesting, Delft Blue??!!", shouted Ginseng Dragon as he pulled down his dark-blue silk shirt, until he was down to his eye level.

"I'm suggesting that you should get rid of your 'godson' as soon as possible, because he's not really your successor or your good luck charm at all!", said Delft Blue as he became the depressing bearer of bad news. "In reality, he is the terrible jinx curse that will become your ultimate downfall!"

"HUUHHH??!!!", gasped the shocked Ginseng Dragon as he lifted up and pushed himself backwards from his wicker chair. "Well...it's no WONDER I've been having so many bad misfortunes lately..."

Both of them started sighing loudly with a disappointing grunting tone and shook their heads in disgust.

"WELL, we can't hire back that griffon assassin, since she's already been flayed to the bone and spit-roasted over a firepit in our torture chamber...", grunted Delft Blue.

As both started to ponder about how they can solve their conundrums without raising suspicion from the other kirin gang members, Ginseng suddenly had thought up of a devilish sinister plan in his head.

As he whispered his dastardly plan into Delft Blue's ear, he told him, "...See if you get the boys working on the new Trans-Equestrian Railroad to the Thracian Territories to procure some---butterscotch cakes from the construction zone..."

Delft Blue began to snicker as his boss continued on with his plan, before he replied in a sinister manner

"Oooh, we'll make sure he'll give your brother the BEST welcome-back present ever!!"

----------(PONYVILLE ICE CREAM PARLOR, FRIDAY 4:00 PM)----------

It was a very calm afternoon at the local ice cream parlor for Sunny Boy, who was sitting on one of the red stools laid on in a neat row parallel to the elongated white-boarded serving countertop. The red stool he was sitting on was located at the far right end of the counter top and it was the seat that was closest to the washroom facilities. While the jukebox played soft jazzy music through the intercom, he gulped down the last drop of his dark chocolate ice cream soda float from his wide-based tulip glass vessel. Once his glass was completely empty, he then activated his telekinetic magic to carefully position his glass on top of the other three tulip glasses he had previously emptied and stacked on top of one another! Hence, for this saddened Sunny Boy, this unicorn rogue had downed his fourth high-calorie ice cream soda float as of today!

As Sunny Boy carefully positioned the base of his fourth tulip glass over the open top mouth of the top third tulip glass (in which their circumferences were barely the same size), Master Zhi, Mr Tang, Tiny Turnip Head and the Student Six group were walking along the street, when all of them stared through the multi-square paneled window of the ice cream parlor, before they all decided to head into the entrance to greet their good friend Sunny Boy.

"Hello there, Headmaster!", said Master Zhi as he was the first to enter and walk up to Sunny Boy.

"Hi, Headmaster!!", shouted Tiny Turnip Head as he zipped across the open door in mid-air to meet Sunny Boy. His fast speed almost knocked down the tower of four tulip glasses on the countertop.

"Haven't seen you for a LONG time since that soccer match!", grunted Mister Tang as he took a red stool seat next to Sunny Boy, at the street rogue unicorn's left.

Soon, the rest of the Student Six started taking turns happily greeting the sunglasses-wearing Sunny Boy and then took their seats left of Mr Tang in this particular order (from right to left): Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Silverstream and Smolder. Since Yona was too fat and short to get over the seats, she decided to stay put near the far-right end of the countertop next to Sunny Boy.

"WOW, would you LOOK at that?!", hollered Master Zhi as he took a long look at the tower of four tulip glasses on the counter. "Did you REALLY drank all those ice cream floats in one go??"

"Yep...thought this would help numb out the pain of letting go the only sweetheart mare I fell for....and yet---I still feel so sad about leaving my heart unfulfilled without her", replied Sunny Boy as he looked down at the countertop.

"Yona no see Equestrian drink four ice cream floats at once", yelled the surprised chubby nak girl as she stared up in awe at the four stacked glass cups, before muttering "---uhhh, maybe except Professor Pink Pony Lady!"

"YEAH, don't you get major brain freeze from that??!", asked Smolder before she ordered a spicy hot-peppered strawberry-chocolate ice cream.

"You'll get a wicked bad tummy ache at the hospital and then you be in big trouble with the doctor once he checked your blood levels!", lectured Ocellus before she settled for green-tea ice cream topped with meal worms.

"Speaking of trouble, did the Captain of the Royal Guard told the Headmare about your little shenanigans yesterday?!", mentioned the curious Sunny Boy as he looked at Smolder very intensely.

"Ooooooh, RIIIGHHT!! Hehehe, THAT!", chuckled Smolder as she scratched the back side of her head and blushed nervously.

"GEEZ, while I was free to roam around in the school premises, YOU ladies actually got kicked out for THREE days by Headmare Trixie! HA!! Guess I'm no longer the bad boy of this epic story, huh?!", boasted Gallus before ordering cinnamon-spiced vanilla with sprinkled barley seeds.

"Keep rubbing it in, and I might decide turn you from cold turkey to oven-roasted turkey!", threatened Smodler before she was served her spiced-up hot-and-cold dinner meal.

"Do that, and you might risk getting banned from the school for life!", back-sassed Gallus as he smirked at the smoking ice-cream eating dragon girl.

"Man, if all of us end up getting into REALLY big trouble both inside and outside school, we may end up forming a club or something?! Maybe the kind that hangs out at the fast-food place during the peak breakfast hours?", questioned Silverstream before she ordered sea saltwater flavored ice-cream.

"Yeaaaahh, I wouldn't count on that, Silverstream....don't even bother...", warned the unamused Ocellus, before she was served her single scoop of green tea ice-cream on a glass dish with the unconscious cold mealworms slowly wriggling on top of her dessert.

"How about you, sir? How did the talk go with the Headmare??", asked Sunny Boy as he turned his attention to Master Zhi, who was still standing on the right side of Sunny Boy. Master Zhi explained

"Hehehhe, well, you see, after Starlight was told about what happened yesterday, she was in bit of a total shock, but she was more understanding, considering the circumstances of her situation at the time..."

"After a long negotiation with Headmare Trixie, she became pretty understanding about the reason behind these troublesome girls' afternoon revelry, and only gave them a suspended sentence of fourth months. That means, if these three cause any MORE trouble during their three-day suspension, Yona, Tiny Turnip Head and Smolder would be barred from entering the school until next semester", further explained Ocellus as she picked off the squirming mealworms from her sweet cold dessert.

"UGGGHHHH, what a TOTAL bummer! But HEY! As long as we stay out of trouble, that means three days of NO homework!", shouted the chilled Smolder as she gave out a smug expression to her friends, while eating her spicy strawberry-chocolate ice cream.

"Uhhh, that also means three days of work you'll have to catch up with in one day, lizard brain!", mentioned Sandbar before ordering a fizzy lemon soda vanilla float. Smolder then groaned and facepalmed out of agonized disbelief.

"As for my dear old friend Zhi---", spoke Mr Tang after he was done ordering buttermilk ice cream. "---he not ONLY got suspended for ANOTHER week by the Headmare, he was ALSO given a restraining order from the superintendent to stay 150 meters away from the Ponyville police station AND paid the damages to the commissioner's green car! My GODDESS, and I thought I was going to be the one who would get into trouble after that washroom stunt!"

"HEY, anything for you to get out of being close to the kids, eh Tang?", joked Master Zhi as he stared at his senile friend.

"You should be consider SO lucky that the stallion you were trying to destroy was kind enough to give up him OWN motorized joyride so easily to save you all from a life time in prison!", shouted Silverstream towards Master Zhi before she was given her sea saltwater ice cream to indulge in.

"YEAH, I'm really sorry for putting you and both of you girls into big trouble with me!", Master Zhi apologized as he hung his head in shame.

"Awww, it's all right, Master!", forgave Tiny Turnip Head as he hover around and touched Master Zhi's shoulder. "You were only trying to help Miss Starlight from being harmed! Maybe just tone down your heroism just a scooch..."

Then suddenly, stumbling out of the male washroom facility, out came the familiar black spike-maned and white-coated unicorn stallion known only as Student #12138, who was wearing his tacky black-and-green shirt and blue denim jeans. Shouting out for his Headmaster, he immediately waved and ran for his rogue gang leader, before he found himself tripping over the short fat Yona and knocking down the tower of four glasses on the countertop!

With fast cat-like acrobatic reflexes, Master Zhi immediately swooped in and caught ALL four of the fallen tulip glasses, as well as quickly rearranging them into its original towering structure with his own two hands---and he didn't even have to do that over a table!

"TA-DA!! Here you go!! ALL back to normal!", shouted Master Zhi as he held the glass tower of tulip cups with his two hands and put them back on its original position on the counter. Sunny Boy saw the master's surprisingly quick reaction and gave a short smirked smile of approval.

"ALL RIGHT!! Go Master Zhi!! Be the most amazing that you can be!!", cheered Tiny Turnip Head as he called out his name.

"WOAH, you're pretty quick on your feet like Professor Pinkie Pie!", complimented Sandbar who had witnessed the amazing feat, before being served his vanilla ice cream float with lemon soda.

"WOW, you're like a world-class Las Pegasus acrobat!", cheered Silverstream as she licked her sea-salty ice cream.

"HEY, were you bonked on the head as a baby?! You should watch where you're going!", berated Student #12138 towards the short fat Yona. "Are you trying to knock me down to the ground by squatting down on the dirty floor??!"

"Yona REALLY sorry unicorn got hurt!", apologized the short fat nak girl as she looked up at the upset Student #12138. "But spike-mane unicorn should take note of Yona's short body more often!"

"She's right, you know??", added Tiny Turnip Head as he explained to Sunny Boy's minion. "If you wanna make friends with creatures, you gotta get used to the short young yaks that walk around here! It doesn't make a difference if they're standing OR squatting!"

"Someday, Yona will grow big and tall! And Yona no longer worry about no reaching things!", shouted the determined fat yak girl as she looked up onto the ceiling.

"Yeah, so you better be nice to their short kin, because some of them may not give you a chance to say sorry and will beat you up senselessly in the future once they were fully grown!", advised the wised-up Master Zhi as he showed his smug face at Student #12138.

"Like maybe kick them in the nose or shake them until their muscles give out?", mentioned Smolder with a mouth full of spicy hot ice cream.

"HEY! Professor Fluttershy say eye for eye make world blind! Yona want all creatures to see their own mistakes before teaching them! That be Yona new yak way of life!", exclaimed the wise Yona.

"YEAH, try saying that with car vandalism in your permanent record!", said Smolder with a smirk look on her creamed face.

"GAAAHHHH, Yona no want dragon to say that!! We just want stop car to halt orange creeper, no want to hurt!", panicked Yona.

"ANYWAY---", interrupted Master Zhi as he turned to Sunny Boy. "Did you managed to get a blacksmith to forge out those keys from that mold?"

"Yes, I had. Once that local yak forger was given the mold, he was able to churn out a 100 keys within a couple hours.", replied Sunny Boy as he took out his black zipper pouch and shook his bundle of copied keys. He then mubled as he stared down at the countertop. "Strange, even though my intentions are well-mannered, it still felt like I'm risking that sniveling cur's security by making him the prime target for potential future burglars out there..."

"HEY, this is for your sweetheart crush's future, all right?! Just PROMISE me that you (OR your gang) won't beat the shit outta that cur once you located his abode, all right?!", pleaded Master Zhi as he looked at Sunny Boy's depressed face. "Miss Starlight Glimmer wouldn't be amused if she found her boyfriend lying in a puddle of his own blood."

"Uggghhh, like I needed to be reminded of that...", sarcastically scoffed Sunny Boy as he laid his left hand over his left cheek with an unamused expression. "Everything I had plan up to THIS moment and beyond will be to make Miss Starlight Glimmer the happiest mare in her life, okay?!"

Tiny Turnip Head, who was hovering over Yona, gave out an elated sigh, before he spoke to Master Zhi in a romantic tone

"Love is such a wonderful thing to feel, right fellas?"

"HMPH, unless if you're a womanizer or a kiddie napper....!", grumbled Mr Tang as he ate his buttermilk ice cream.

"You know---", interrupted Gallus as he slowly pecked the barely seeds on his cinnamon-vanilla ice cream. "---if Starlight Glimmer were to introduce Miss Octavia at a much earlier time before the Vice Headmare competition, do you think I would have a chance to have her all to myself before being stolen by that jerk Bulk Biceps?"

Just as the students were about to answer Gallus' ludicrous hypothetical question, a soused violet mare lady with puffy a wine-purple mane had accidentally taken a seat on top of Yona's big head, causing Student #12138 to actively yell at the mare in response to her drunkard stupor!

"HEY, watch it, crazy lady!! You almost sat on my new friend here!!", shouted Student #12138 as he pushed the drunken mare off Yona's big head. The drunken mare was wearing a tight dark-purple nylon shirt that fitted over her F-cup bust and a tight short black shirt, as well as a pair of black high heels.

"I'm SO sorry, sir! I--hic!--had way too much red wine--BURP!--berry-ice cream floats--HIC!--during the happy hour", slurred the drunkard mare as she tried to steady herself on the counter nearby. "I REALLY thought she was a stool over there! Guess my judge--HIC--ment--COUGH---was wr-rrwr-w-wrong!"

"HEY--listen mare lady! And listen to yak very well!", quietly scolded Yona as she pointed her keratin finger at the drunkard.

"One and half year ago, huge white stallion sat on me like that. Almost crush head with heavy butt crush. Yona almost die and got lift to hospital. After bad accident, Yona swore that no creature will sit on Yona! Because yak girl will grow BIG and STRONG like tower and be wise like elder yaks in Yakyakistan!", explained the determined Yona as she raised her voice with vigor and confidence, to which the drunkard replied

"W-ww-BURP!!---OW!! That sounds REALLY---sw--HIC!!--EET of y---!!"

Before she could finish her sentence, the drunkard mare immediately started barfing over the other side of the counter and spilling her vomit over the black-and-white checkered floor.

"Uh-oh! That doesn't look good!", said Sandbar as he looked at the drunken mare to his right.

"EWWWW, GROSS!!!", yelled Smolder as she saw the pool of yellow-beige chunky vomit on the floor.

"OH MY!! Are you okay??!!", shouted Silverstream as she peered over the counter.

"Lady, you look like hammer shit! If I were you, I would call a cab before some rapist decides to take you on for a joyride on your marehood....", advised the grouchy Mr Tang as he finished up his buttermilk ice cream. Ignoring the old unicorn stallion's mean attitude, the drunken mare replied to him

"I--I---I'll try to---remember that----BURP!!!---BLLERGH!!", slurred the red-faced violet mare as she looked like she was about to barf on Yona.

"HEY, don't barf on my friend, you idiot!!", shouted Student #12138 as he placed the drunken mare into a headlock and tried to steer the mare's head away from Yona's direction.

"You dare disrespected that yak with your incompetent hazy judgement, and now you're gonna do it again by soaking her with your own bodily fluids??!", scorned Student #12138 as he tried to wrestle with the mare to teach her a lesson on courtesy. "You better apologize to that yak or else you're kissing the pavement, missy! I'll beat both you women AND men equally if you disrespect those yaks!"

Seeing that Student #12138 may be going too far into protecting her, she pleaded to the enraged patron

"Uhhhh, Yona no need more apology! It was accident! No need for hurting!"

"LEMME GO, ass--HIC---HOLE!!", blurted out the drunk mare as she tried to escape his headlock.

"My NAME is #12138!!", the spike-maned student shouted in reply.

"THAT'S ENOUGH, #12138!", shouted Sunny Boy as he lifted his head to stare down at the wrestling student. As soon as he heard his command, Student #12138 immediately let go of the drunk slobbering mare, causing her to topple forward and fall onto the hard ground.

"Have you already forgotten about the non-violent solutions to a conflict I had taught you back in my lessons??", questioned the scornful Sunny Boy as he stared hard at Student #12138.

"......right.....Sorry, Headmaster....", apologized the repentant student. "I guess I should've just taken her to a cab earlier, like that old man had told her..."

"Siiiiggghh, I'll take her to a cab for her...", offered Ocellus who later turned into a light-blue furry nak strongwoman to carry Berry Punch to the street outside the ice cream parlor.

"Thanks, Ocellus...", said the smiling Yona as she looked at Ocellus the nak.

"Try not to wreck everything while I'm gone, fellas", demanded Ocellus as she exited out the door.

"Here's a notepad...", offered Sunny Boy as he took out his black-padded book from his vinyl jacket. "As punishment for your uncouth behaviour, you would have to write down 'I should have taken better control of my emotions'---one thousand times"

Swallowing his huge pride, Student #12138 reluctantly took his notepad and yelled out "YES, Headmaster!", before sitting down at nearby stool, pull out his pen and did what Sunny Boy had told him to do.

"MAN, 1000 sentences??!! I really pity that fool!", snickered Gallus as he looked on that the scribbling student. The blue griffon had just finished his ice cream delicacy and started to eat away his waffle cone.

"But seriously though! Even if you act like a strict no-bullshit gung-ho kinda guy, you're actually a pretty cool sweet dude with a beating heart of love deep inside your heart!", complimented Smolder as she was half-finished with her ice cream.

"You know, instead of picking on students with no ID, chasing the pretty ladies or playing soccer with the street thugs, have you REALLY ever thought about becoming a REAL school headmaster with your amazing innate intelligence of yours?", questioned Master Zhi as he stared at Sunny Boy's stoic face.

"For some reason, you DO kinda remind us about that Vice-Stallion we used to have back in our school...", mentioned Sandbar as he examined Sunny Boy's face.

"Yeah, even the way you talk sounds somewhat familiar, though in a less groggy and less hoarse kinda way...", described Gallus as he waved his talon side-by-side to express indifference.

"Maybe orange unicorn could apply for sub Vice-Stallion at Friendship School??", wondered Yona as she looked up and smiled at Sunny Boy.

"You know....I just might seriously ponder on that suggestion, my dear friends", replied Sunny Boy as he nodded his head up and down with slight approval.

"WELL, we better get going, now that out students' ice cream meals are finished! Let's head out to play bowling every creature!!", shouted Master Zhi as he head out to the exit door.

"YYAAAAYYY!!!", cheered Tiny Turnip Head and the students before they quickly left without paying their bills.

"Tang, you're paying the bill! 拜拜, 先生 (Bye Bye, Sing Sung)4!!", shouted Master Zhi as he quickly followed the children out of the door.

"GODAMNIT, ZHI!! Freakin' jackass....", mumbled Mr Tang as he pulled out his wallet, before noticing a male donkey man with an orange wig about to sit next to him.

"Uhhhh, no offense...", said Mr Tang to the donkey man, before he replied

"UGGGHH, none taken..."

As Student #12138 continued to scribble his 20th sentence on the notepad, Sunny Boy stood up from his seat, walked up to his student and told him

"You know what? Let's save the rote scribbling for later tonight, #12138..."

"What do you want me to do, Headmaster?", asked Student #12138 after he closed the notebook and placed his pen into his pocket.

"I need you to whistle over all the other Sunny Side Schoolboys to the town's main park fountain for me..."

"OF COURSE, HEADMASTER!", shouted Student #12138 as he stood up from his stool seat and pulled out his whistle.

----------(PONYVILLE PARK FOUNTAIN, FRIDAY 4:45 PM)----------

As Student #12138 whistled for every creature of the Sunny Side Schoolboy gang to gather around at the central pink fountain of Ponyville Park, every creature started to come in droves from all sides around the fountain, where Sunny Boy was sitting at its marbled edge. As soon as every creature had finally gathered around their leader, Student #12138 immediately ceased his whistling and gave out a strongly voiced announcement to all of his comrades.

"LISTEN UP, every creature!!", shouted Student #12138 as he stood straight with his hooves together. "We are gathered here today for all of you to do a VERY important task for our Headmaster! In a change of our usual work schedule, we are not here to sell pirated vinyl records, gamble on fighting matches nor collect debts from our opium buyers!"

Every member of Sunny Boy's gang stood straight and tall with utmost attention, being up in a perfect 10 x 10 grid of different creatures, with the smallest species at the front row to the tallest creatures at the back echelon. This ensured that every creature had equitable opportunity to hear and see what their Headmaster had in store.

"INSTEAD, your Headmaster will give you a competitive assignment that will reward any creature who is the first to complete it!", continued Student #12138 before he handed over the Headmaster's zippered black bag and let the Headmaster complete the rest of the announcement.

"Inside this bag is a hundred keys, one for each and every creature gathered here today! All of the keys in here have the exact same ridged and notched patterns, meaning they ALL open the same door!", explained Sunny Boy as he sat by the marble pink fountain. As he pulled the zipper to open up the black bag, he later continued on with his speech to his students

"After each of you had been given a key, all of you shall search around Ponyville to check every house and apartment room door that has a lock that fits with that certain key! Whoever becomes the first to find that perfect matching lock and sends me its exact address shall replace me as this group's next headmaster..."

As soon as he dumped all the keys from his bag and onto the ground, Sunny Boy levitated all the keys in the air in first squared formation, before passing each creature their own key to keep until the end of the assignment.

"Once the winning creature finds that exact house or apartment door lock with that matching key, I will cast a targeted dismantling spell with a wide-area effect that will cause all but one winning key to disintegrate, so that none of you will invade the owner of that particular household who possesses that same key. In other words, if you find yourself in hold of a rusting and crumbling key, you will know that the contest has been over and you will then have to follow your future successor for the time being..."

As soon as every creature in the gang had gotten their own key and their headmaster had finished their speech, Sunny Boy shot up a huge white bright flare in the sky to signal the start of the contest, before every creature spread out in all directions around Ponyville, hoping to find that perfect dwelling with that exact matching lock. With bated breath, all of the creatures of Sunny Boy's gang started to race against each other to win their prize for becoming the gang's next headmaster.
