Ponyville:

Sugarcube Corner


It’s 8 PM Pinkie Pie started to teach newborn Carnival something about comedy...

“So, do you know what’s comedy Breeze?” - she asked him with a little grin.
“Yeah, I just saw it while you were on the stage back in Haha, it’s all about making someone smile by jokes.” - his answer was obvious as her question.
“Yes that’s true, in part. You don’t have to make jokes to make someone smile, you can do it also by... for example, making funny faces, magic tricks or just dressing like clown.” - she made those examples to make him more curious about his possible future job.
“What the hell is clown?” - Zephyr he was brought up without stress so he didn’t heard about clowns because most of them could even scare young ponies.
“Wow, I didn’t expected to hear that question but i get it you just wanna know about everything and I will help you with that. Clown is type of comedian that most of the time wears white make-up and very weird, colorful and funny suit. They’re known for their slapstick comedy, which include lot of movement.” - Pinkie tried her best to make this short and clear description on the clown, hoping she did her job well.
“That’s very interesting actually.” - he said that with certainly in his voice.
“You’re just playing around do you?”
“No I’m serious, maybe if i will fail stand-up i could just paint my face with white paint and do stupid things like i usually do and people will pay me to se me doing so!”
“Zeph, first of all you’re not doing stupid things usually, and secondly you won’t fail stand-up, Pinkie Promise!”
“Well if you said Pinkie Promise i can tell you’re serious... Oh wow it’s that late? We should go to sleep.” - it wasn’t his excuse it was truly late.
“Yeah we should get some sleep, tomorrow we can start again.”

Ponyville:

Sugarcube Corner 6 AM


Zephyr never wanted to sleep to short but Pinkie was a early bird so he had no choice. As she started to work on their
breakfast Zeph woked up because of the noice.

“Pinkie what are you doing?”
“Breakfast of course!” - she answered to him with smile.
“Yeah I know but why are you so loud?”
“Oh, Sorry i forgot that you’re here I’m always loud when I’m alone, well louder...” - her hair got straight down but only for a moment.
“It’s ok Pinkie, that give me a opportunity to help you!” - with those words he made her happy again and maybe put a little blush on her cheeks.
“Okey dokey! Come here i will show you what to do.”

As he started do to follow hers instructions. She was doing her own part. They were making only breakfast but it took a while until they made it. After the meal Zeph wanted to return the favor to her.

“Hey Pinkie can I do the dishes?”
“Emm, Ok Zeph. Thanks.”
“No I should be thanking you. You’re saving my life and also showing me new way for my life, that’s a big deal.” - he was making her blush way too much.
“Don’t mention it my pleasure.” - as she said those words she waited until Zeph washed the last plate.
“Ok, that should be it. What we will do now?”
“I have something on my mind, come with me Carnival.” - she said this as Breeze gigled.

Ponyville:

Laugh Center - School for Beginner Comedians and Clowns 8 AM


“So, what is this place?” - Zephyr asked Pinkie as they arrived.
“It’s school but no worries they are not judging you or antything you can just go out try telling jokes and if you will succeed and make someone laugh, you can even earn money.”
“But what happen if I will fail?”
“Nothing, but I know you won’t fail.”
“You didn’t even teached me any jokes how am I suposed to make someone at least grin?”
“I didn’t teach you but back then in Haha you watched me and you know how to act etc. You don’t have to copy me. Just be yourself, improvise.”
“Improvise? Well ok Pinkie, if you say that I can do that, I belive you.”

”So our next performer is new here so please give him a warm welcome. Please welcome...”

”Carnival!”

After he walked on the stage he manage to actually make his first joke and belive it or not he made ponies in audience laugh a little but it wasn’t ending it was a beginning, so he made another joke referring to the previous one and whole audience started to laugh very loud. He had attention of the whole audience and his show lasted for one hour! He could make even more jokes but he wanted some rest so he thanked for for the applause and walked off the stage.

“Wow, man you should think to start doing it professionally, here’s your money you deserve it.” - It was Layout a unicorn that was running this place.
“I’m actually here to get started and thanks for the money!” - as he said goodbye to him Pinkie came up to him.
“I told you Breeze you got that in you! Let’s go outside you might be successful but you still need to learn somethings. - Pinkie and Zeph walked out of Laugh Center and...
“Hey Pinkie, Zeph wait.” - as they turned around they saw familiar face.
“Oh, Hey Dash!” - Pinkie said that with smile.
“Rainbow! Wait, you were there whole time?” - Zephyr asked her with blush on his face.
“Hell yeah! I didn’t expect to ever tell you this but you were awesome! When did you started thinking about comedy? You’re very good at it!”
“Well I... Umm...” - Zephyr started to stutter as he didn’t wanted to Rainbow Dash know about that he was kicked out of his job.
“He came across me by accident and as he had free time in his job I asked him to go on my perfomance and it just went this path to this place...”
“Oh, right i thought I forgot about something. Sorry i have to go to Wonderbolts headquarters for training. See you around Zeph, Bye Pinkie!”
“By RD! - Pinkie screamed.
“See ya Rainbow!” - he watched as his favourite pony flew away.

“Walets, money, jewellery.”
“Wha...”

Behind them, there were ponies, armed with knives. They weren’t joking.

“Please do we look like ponies with money by the waist?” - Zeph tried to jokingly get out of this fucked up situation.
“You’re funny, and I don’t like funny ponies.” - without any hesitation he attacked Breeze by kicking him in head with his hind hooves and after Zeph fell to the ground he took his money. Pinkie didn’t to anything but she wanted to, she was just scared that they will kill him and also stab her.
“Please, don’t hurt him anymore, here’s my wallet just please leave us.” - she was saying that with tears in her eyes.
“Good You know your place bitch. Common guys before police show up.” - as they ran away she checked on Zephyr.
“Zeph! Are you alright don’t worry I will get you some help!”

Zephyr Breeze didn’t said anything he started to laugh but he didn’t wanted to, he knew that and she knew that.
He got a head injury. Fortunately, a hospital was nearby and rescuers arrived quickly...
