Crashing the Party Crasher
It was a beautiful afternoon in the bright city of Canterlot. Ponies were enjoying a beautiful day wandering around the many shops. There was no present danger at the moment, since ether the many foes of the world are ether biding their time to strike or are locked away in Tatarus. But at a large, open park that's right next to the castle, a birthday party was being thrown for Diamond Tiara for her birthday. Many of her friends from Ponyville had gathered around, cheering for Diamond and enjoying the food.
"Gosh," Diamond said as she felt happy, and yet embarrassed. "After all I've done to you, I don't think I deserve this."
"Nonsense," Apple Bloom said as she pulled up a slice of cake and placed it on Diamond's plate. "Even though you were meaner back then, you now understand what friendship is all about."
"She's right," Sweetie Belle said. "Especially after we realized how much of a monster your mother turned out to be."
"I'm still sorry for my own behavior, and for what you heard from my mommy," Diamond said, still feeling guilty for what she did.
"You only did that just to appeal to her," Scootaloo said. "And even if you're mean back then, at least you're not as evil as that Tirek monster."
"Yeah," Sweetie Belle said. "Remember when he destroyed the play set? He also stole candy from Button Mash."
"Now that's taking it too far," Diamond Tiara said. "You wouldn't catch me being friends with a creep like him."
Just then, Pinkie Pie bounced on in with a large bucket of ice cream attached to her tail. The fillies all cheered for her as she sets the Ice Cream Bucket on the table.
"I guess everyone screams for Ice Cream," Pinkie said as she pulled out bowls and spoons out her mane before tossing them onto the table.
"For a party pony," Silver Spoon said to Diamond Tiara. "Pinkie Pie is more like a super expert."
"You're telling me" Diamond Tiara said.
"By the way," Pinkie said to Diamond. "I overheard you all talk about second chances, and it appears you're not the only one going through a second chance."
"I'm not?" Diamond Tiara said, surprised a bit by Pinkie's words.
"Twilight just befriended another pony who tried to go back through time and rewrite history," Pinkie Pie said. "And she was the same one who once lead a town of ponies with equal sign cutie marks."
"That sounds almost like me," Diamond Tiara said.
"That's saying a lot," Pinkie Pie said. "Once Twilight knew what was going on with Starlight, the Princess of Friendship convinced her to consider another way, and took her in as her own personal student. A chance to rehabilitate her and give her a second chance."
"I wonder if we will get to meet this Starlight Glimmer," Apple Bloom said.
"I think Rarity might give her a haircut and liven up her new life," Sweetie Belle said.
Pinkie Pie just giggled as she juggled a festive blowout with her arms.
"I'd say as long as there are baddies who realized that what they did was wrong," Pinkie said. "Then there's still hope for em. In fact, I don't think there's anyone in Equestria who is really that mean."
"Well I'd say you're awfully rude in taking my private booth." Pinkie turned her head and noticed a very disgruntled Prince Blueblood hovering nearby.
"Err, what's your name again?" Pinkie said as Prince Blueblood's eyes popped out by that question.
"Are you completely blind?" Blueblood yelled. "I am Prince Blueblood, nephew to Princess Celestia and Luna, and not to mention the rightful heir to the throne of Canterlot."
"You? The future King of Canterlot?" Silver Spoon said before she felt out of her chair laughing really hard. Prince Blueblood looked even more unsettled.
"Do you think this is a joke?" Prince Blueblood said with a snort.
"If this is a joke," Pinkie Pie giggled. "Then you need to lighten up."
"I'm talking about this pavilion," Prince Blueblood yelled. "This is my private pavilion and I want you and these brats out of here."
"Woah," Pinkie said as she held her hooves out. "Hold your horses for Celestia's sake." Pinkie Pie reached into her mane and pulled out a parchment with the royal seal on it. She unravels it as Prince Blueblood lets out a yawn, disgusting the fillies and colts from their table.
"As you can tell," Pinkie Pie said as she held up the parchment. "Princess Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia has given Filthy and Spoiled Rich permission to use this pavilion for their daughter's birthday party. It was dated five days ago."
"Fake news," Prince Blueblood said as he snatched the parchment and tore it to shreds.
"Hey," Pinkie Pie said. "You actually tore up an official document from Princess Celestia?"
"The fact that Princess Twilight Sparkle chose to put her name on there is far more revolting," Prince Blueblood said. "And besides, you and those filthy brats are in my private pavilion. And I want you OUT!
And with that, Prince Blueblood grabbed Pinkie Pie and threw her over the wall and out of the pavilion. As she landed on the ground completely dumbfounded, the colts and fillies went flying out as well as they hit the ground one by one.
"What just happened?" Apple Bloom said after she hit the ground.
"We just got cheated out of a birthday party by the most stuck up prince to cheat my sister," Sweetie Belle said as she got up.
"AND TAKE THESE WITH YOU," Prince Blueblood yelled as presents, cake, ice cream, other treats, the party decorations, and even the tables went flying out of the pavilion and onto the ground, making a mess of the vicinity.
Diamond Tiara got up and looked at the mess that was her birthday party. The food was ruined. The presents were smashed up. Everything was sabotaged, and tears fell from her eyes. She tried to hold it in, but she couldn't.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Diamond Tiara cried as water fall tears gushed from her eyes. It was enough to catch everyone's attention.
"OH COME ON," Sweetie Belle yelled. "First Prince Blueblood makes a fool out of my sister Rarity, and now he messed up Diamond Tiara's birthday party?"
"Yeah that's not fair," Scootaloo said. "Someone needs to teach that narcissist a lesson."
"And that someone is going to be me," Pinkie Pie said with a smirk on her face. The Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at Pinkie Pie and knew what that party pony was up to.
"You ever seen that look on her face, girls?" Apple Bloom said.
"Yeah," Scootaloo said. "Remember that time we helped Pinkie and Mrs Cake with some baking goods, and a pair of thieves tried to make off with some special sugar Pinkie bought?"
"Well when we see that face," Sweetie Belle said. "You know Pinkie's going into trickster mode."
In a flash, Pinkie Pie pulled out a small make up box. She opened it and a huge changing curtain with some clothes popped out of it. That was enough to snap Diamond Tiara out of her tears as she looked at Pinkie.
"Pinkie Pie," Diamond Tiara said. "What's that for?"
"Oh did you hear?" Snips said as he and Snails walks next to Diamond Tiara. "She always carries a portable dresser with her in case of emergencies."
"Yeah," Snails said. "It's like that one time she had to dress up as a clown to entertain other foals at a hospital. Good thing that came in handy."
"You're actually right Snails," Pinkie said as she stepped behind a curtain, only to stick her head and shoulders out. "But if anything, you're about to see how to crash a party crasher, Pinkie Pie-style."
It was later that evening in the same pavilion. A royal cocktail party was underway as many of the commonwealth celebrated. Glasses were filled with sparkling grape juice. The food was consisted of hors d'oeuvres lined up on tables that have been dressed in the finest linen table cloth. A ten-layer red velvet cake stood out on its own platform, while beautiful glass statues and exotic decorations lined the marble pillars that have been placed in the vicinity. Octavia and a number of Cello and Violin players stimulated the sound of the evening with the beautiful music of their instruments. Many of the elite who attended talked with each other while sipping the grape juice.
Nearby, Prince Blueblood looked on, content with the party. He was dressed in a fancy purple dinner suit fit for a king.
He took a sip of grape juice and looked on. For this selfish prince, he felt like it was his best night ever.
"Ahhh, exactly what I wanted," Prince Blueblood said. "Luxurious decorations. Delicious food. A drink to savor. Beautiful music. And the best ponies that could grace this planet. What more could a prince like myself deserve than this?"
As Prince Blueblood enjoyed the night, Fancy Pants walked up to him, also having the time of his life. Walking next to him was Fleur De Lis, who was wearing a violet dress.
"Lavish party tonight, Prince Blueblood," Fancy Pants said. "You really outdid yourself."
"Of course," Prince Blueblood said. "After all, setting this all up was as easy like taking candy from a baby."
"Now now, your majesty," Fancy Pants joked as he gently elbowed Prince Blueblood. "You know you shouldn't joke around like that."
"My apologies, Fancy Pants," Prince Blueblood said as he fixed the collar of his dinner jacket. "That was so wrong of me. But I assure you we spared no expense on this party."
But as Blueblood was about to walk alongside Fancy Pants and Fleur De Lis, a voice echoed through the pavilion as it went "Hello big boy." Prince Blueblood turned to his side, and his eyes popped out. There was Pinkie Pie, dressed in a gorgeous violet sequin party dress. Her mane and tail were completely straight as it extended towards the ground instead of being curly and puffed, with a portion of it covering her left eye. And yet, they both glossed with a bright shine. She gave off a subtle, yet seductive smile.
"Tell me," Pinkie said as she gave a wink to Prince Blueblood. "Is this party invitation only?"
Prince Blueblood could do nothing but pant like a dog before he howled like a wolf. This caught the guests off guard, who were surprised by Blueblood's howls. Blueblood stopped howling and blushed in embarrassment.
"My apologies for that uncouth reaction," Blueblood said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead using a handkerchief. He turned to Pinkie Pie and said "Normally, this event is invitation only. But for you my darling, I'll make an exception."
Blueblood waved his hoof towards Pinkie as the alluring-dressed pony strolled towards the spoiled prince. One she was by her side, she allowed Prince Blueblood to place his arm around hers before they walked through the pavilion.
Meanwhile, behind in the bushes, various colts and fillies emerged to watch from a distance. They were wearing headbands with a feather mounted on the back. Some were armed with bows and arrows tipped with a suction cup. Most of them had black face paint smeared directly below their eyes.
"So," Diamond Tiara whispered to Apple Bloom. "Where'd you get these headbands?"
"Our buffalo friends from Appleoosa," Apple Bloom replied. "Turns out, there's a number of ponies who think they're the coolest in all of Equestria, and they figured selling this kind of gear would be a big pay off."
"Considering that Rainbow Dash has a high deal of respect for the buffalo," Scootaloo said as she rubbed her hoof on her nose. "I'd say this is the best thing I could ever wear, barring a Wonderbolts uniform."
"So what's the plan?" Sweetie Belle asked as she was eager to make her move.
"When Pinkie Pie gives the signal," Apple Bloom said. "We go after that self-centered, Elephant's butt of a prince. But in no way do we attack the other guests."
"Aye aye, Captain," Sweetie Belle said as she saluted Apple Bloom.
"No argument on that," Diamond Tiara said. "Considering that my dad works with some of these guys, he would be upset if I did attack them."
"I don't blame you," Snails said as he edged a bit close to Diamond Tiara. "Filthy Rich always brings home Manehattan Chocolate bars. And I always save my bits for those tasty treats."
"And I'll make sure you don't lose those delicious bars," Diamond Tiara said.
Meanwhile, as the cocktail party went on, Prince Blueblood walked with Pinkie Pie. As Blueblood stared into the eyes of Pinkie, she gave a slight wink towards the self-centerd prince. Some members of the crowd looked on, commenting on Blueblood and Pinkie being some sort of an official couple.
"So my darling," Prince Blueblood said. "What brings a little lady like you to this beautiful city of Canterlot? Perhaps it's because you seek true love from the number one stallion of Equestria."
"Indeed," Pinkie said. "I've been looking for a tall handsome stallion, and you happen to be my kind."
"Tall and handsome?" Prince Blueblood said as steam spewed from his ears.
"One who a lavish, shining mane," Pinkie said as she flicked her mane.
"L...lavish mane," Prince Blueblood said as his bow tie extended out and span like crazy. His eyes followed suit.
"Eyes as bright as diamonds," Pinkie said as she gave a tempting blink of her eyes.
"D...d..d..diamonds," Prince Blueblood said as his jaw dropped to the floor.
"And a luscious, well-groomed coat," Pinkie said as he kissed Prince Blueblood on the cheek.
With that kiss, Blueblood bounced up and down like a jackhammer, digging his way into the dirt until only his head and shoulders are above ground. Blueblood was dazed from that peck on his cheek as his eyes were completely heart-shaped.
Pinkie Pie looked at Prince Blueblood before turning to the viewer and said "What a maroon." She took out a canister of breath spray before spraying her mouth with it.
"Let's see how he deals with round two before I send in the cavalry," Pinkie said as she tucked her breath spray back into her dress.
Prince Blueblood was able to shake his head before digging himself out of the dirt. As he got up, he said "Wow. What a mare." When Prince Blueblood turned his head to face Pinkie, she had her behind turned to the prince and proceeded to wave with her tail while shrugging her shoulder slowly.
"Come on, big boy," Pinkie said. "You don't want to keep me waiting."
Prince Blueblood let loose a loud catcall before dashing towards Pinkie Pie with the intent on holding her in his arms. Pinkie just smiled and ducked down as Prince Blueblood flew above her. Pinkie only had a bit of time to face forward before Prince Blueblood crashed into a nearby pillar.
"I heard Prince Blueblood was a lady's stallion," Fancy Pants said as he took a sip of grape juice. "But I think that mare is playing him by the end of his string."
Blueblood's head was stuck in that pillar. He pulled and pulled as hard as he could until his head popped out. He landed on his butt and shook his head. As he recovered from that accident, he overheard a whistle calling out to him. It was Pinkie Pie, who winked at Prince Blueblood.
"I love it when they play hard to get," Prince Blueblood said as gave off a tempting growl. He zoomed over to Pinkie Pie and scooped her up in his arms. Pinkie did nothing but stare at him while slowly flicking her hair.
"Oh my darling," Prince Blueblood said in a fancy accent, as he held Pinkie in his arms. "You are the sweetest grape in the vineyard. The ruby that stands out in the winter cold. The diamond in the rough."
But as Prince Blueblood held Pinkie Pie, a flower pot attached to a balloon floated above this self-centered prince. Nearby in the bushes, Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara had their eye on the flower pot with the apple filly holding a slingshot in her left hoof.
"Care to do the honors?" Apple Bloom said as she held out the slingshot.
"With pleasure," Diamond Tiara said as she accepted the slingshot.
Diamond Tiara pulled back on the slingshot, aimed and let loose a small pebble. The pebble hit the balloon, causing it to pop and drop the flower pot.
"Tell me," Blueblood said as he caressed Pinkie. "How would you like to be the Saddlevenian Sphinx when I become king?"
But as the last words came out of Prince Blueblood's mouth, the flower pot crashed right on his head, knocking him senseless. He placed Pinkie Pie down before stumbling around, completely dazed. The other ponies laughed as he stumbled back and forth with dirt and a flower on his head.
"If I didn't know better," Fancy Pants said as he let out a subtle chuckle. "I swear he was Princess Celestia's court jester pretending to be a prince."
Prince Blueblood continued to stagger around as the crowd laughed. The Prince then tripped over a rock and fell face first on the grass, with his tongue sticking out. Pinkie Pie looked on from a short distance and turned her attention towards the reader.
"Silly, ain't he?" Pinkie said as she pulled out a bucket of water and proceeded to splash Prince Blueblood with it, causing him to wake up completely drenched.
"Wha? Where am I?" Prince Blueblood yelled as he jumped up in complete shock. All he got from laughter coming from the other ponies. Especially Fancy Pants, who had troubles holding in his laughter.
"I'd say that you're all washed up," Fancy Pants said. "But I'm afraid I'd be chewed out for that pun."
Prince Blueblood brought himself down and took a few deep breaths.
"I got this," Prince Blueblood said. "After all, I'm the future king of Equestria and not some fake alicorn."
As Blueblood turned his head towards Pinkie Pie, the seductive pony winked before blowing a kiss to the prince. Prince Blueblood let out a cat call before howling like a wolf. He jets over to the pink alluring pony and scoops her up in his arms again. This time, he picks her up and holds her up high.
"Wow," Pinkie said. "For a prince, you sure know how to party."
"You ain't seen nothing yet," Prince Blueblood said.
And then, he tossed Pinkie Pie up in the air and caught her, all while Pinkie yelled out "Wheeee." He did this again and again, tossing her higher every time.
Nearby, Apple Bloom watched from the bushes as Blueblood flung Pinkie Pie up and down. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo popped their heads out to take a good look.
"I have a feeling her cover is going to be blown," Scootaloo said.
"That means its time to get ready," Apple Bloom said as she pulled out her pow and toy arrow.
"Wait," Sweetie Belle said. "How do you believe that its almost time?"
"Because this is all part of Pinkie's plan," Apple Bloom said.
This caused both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo to let out an "Ohhhhhh" as they ducked back underneath the bushes.
"Just you wait Blueblood," Apple Bloom said. "You're going to pay for what you did to Diamond Tiara." And with that, Apple Bloom dived back under the bushes.
But when Prince Blueblood tossed Pinkie Pie up real high, she flew out of her dress, and went flying up really high. Prince Blueblood looked at her dress and was completely shocked.
It didn't take long before Pinkie Pie landed on the ground, right on her rear-end. Not only was her dress missing, but her mane and tail had poofed back up. The crowd let out a collective gasp, except for Fancy Pants, who wasn't surprised.
"And I was hoping for this to go on longer," Fancy Pants said. "Rarity told me about how much of a trickster she is."
As Pinkie Pie got herself up, Prince Blueblood looked down at her cutie mark and was furious. He stomped over to Pinkie Pie, who got on her hind legs, covered her chest and waist area and blushed.
"Ehhh," Pinkie said with a embarrassing grin. "What's up doc?"
"I remember you," Prince Blueblood said as he pointed at Pinkie Pie. "You were the one who tried to hog this spot and prevent my cocktail party from going through. Is there anything you wish to say before I throw you into the dungeon for trespassing, vandalism and making a mockery out of the future King of Equestria?"
"As a matter of fact I do," Pinkie said as her embarrassed smile turned into a smirk. She turned her head towards the bushes and yelled "LET HIM HAVE IT!"
Suddenly, the colts and fillies of Ponyville jumped out of the bushes and started howling as they ran towards Prince Blueblood. The timid stallion turned torwards the incoming kids and was caught off guard.
"Oh no," Prince Blueblood yelled before he made a run for it with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo chasing after him with their bows and suction dart arrows.
"Remember girls," Apple Bloom said to Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. "Our target is Prince Blueblood. Leave the rest of them alone."
"Aye aye, captain," Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo said as they continued to give chase to Prince Blueblood, howling loud in the evening sky.
Prince Blueblood ran as fast as he could, dodging the incoming hail of toy arrows launched by the Cutie Mark Crusaders as they howled louder. The ponies watching this unfold couldn't stop laughing at his misfortunes.
Meanwhile, at a nearby table, Fancy Pants watched from afar as he was more and more amused by Prince Blueblood's humiliation. Pinkie Pie sat next to him as the high society unicorn wiped his monocle.
"So you figured me out all along?" Pinkie Pie said.
"But of course, my dear," Fancy Pants said. "Even when you had your mane fixed up and you put on that dress, you were still very easy to recognize."
"And there is nothing wrong with that," Fleur De Lis said. "You're one of the most renowned heroes of Equestria, taking on villains like Nightmare Moon, Queen Chrysalis and Lord Tirek."
"Aww," Pinkie said. "You don't have to be that courteous."
"Well besides," Fancy Pants said as he put his monocle on his eye. "You're a friend of Rarity, and any friend of Rarity, as well as Princess Twilight Sparkle, is a friend of mine. Though I have a feeling you didn't come by this party uninvited without a good reason."
"Caught me there, Mr Fancy Pants," Pinkie Pie said as she reached into her mane. "And I have a little something to prove why."
"I had a feeling that it was personal," Fancy Pants said.
Meanwhile, Prince Blueblood hid in the bushes as Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo ran past him. Inside the bush, Prince Blueblood caught his breath and breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like he was out of the woods for the moment.
"I have never seen such viciousness in those brats," Prince Blueblood said. "Someone needs to lock them up in Tatarus."
But as Blueblood regained his composure, he overheard the sound of two fillies laughing. He looked outside and saw Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon giggling together.
"So Silver," Diamond Tiara said. "Did you hear about that loser, Prince Blueblood?"
"Oh that simpleton?" Silver Spoon. "My daddy wouldn't be caught making any deals with that moron."
"Well my daddy once told me this," Diamond Tiara said. "Prince Blueblood once wallowed in a kiddie pool full of melted white chocolate."
"Does that explain why his coat is super sticky white?" Silver Spoon said.
"I also heard that he often smells of stinky garlic" Diamond Tiara said.
"What mare would even be caught with someone who rubbed his arm pits with garlic?" Silver Spoon said.
Overhearing the conversation, Prince Blueblood grew red as a tomato. Steam blew out of his ears as he grew agitated. Infuriated, Prince Blueblood jumped out of the bushes and marched towards Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, causing the two fillies to turn towards the not-so-charming prince.
"I'll teach you miserable brats not to disrespect your superiors," Prince Blueblood snarled.
Suddenly, Prince Blueblood was splashed with a gallon of water from above before a metal bucket fell on his head, causing him to lose his sight and freak out in despair. Up above, Rumble was flying over, waving down to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
"Guess that stuck-up horse's rear fell for it," Rumble said as he flew towards the ground. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed at Blueblood's misfortune as they both got up and face each other.
"Bump, bump, sugar lump rump," Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon said as they bumped their arms, hooves and behind together. They trotted off in another direction as Prince Blueblood struggled to get the bucket off his head. The crowd continued to laugh at BLueblood's ill-luck.
"Wait till I get my hooves those juvenile delinquents," Prince Blueblood said to himself as he struggled to get the bucket off his head.
Suddenly, a water balloon flew from behind him and splashed right on the back of his head, causing the bucket to go flying off. Blueblood shook his head from finally being relieved before getting smacked from behind by another water balloon. That prince was really starting to get annoyed by those kids.
Nearby, Snips and Snails stood by, each wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding a separate water balloon. They turned towards each other and nodded before chucking their water balloons at Prince Blueblood. The self-centered stallion barely had any time to react before getting splashed in the face, and was drenched one more.
As Prince Blueblood struggled to recover from that unexpected soaking, Snips and Snails chucked more water balloons at the narcissist, causing him to run for his life. The guests laughed it up as Prince Blueblood ran as fast as he could. all while continuing to be pelted by water balloons.
But as Blueblood ran, he slid to a complete stop, ignoring the water balloons that are constantly hitting him. In front of him were the Cutie Mark Crusaders, aiming their toy arrows at Prince Blueblood. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon was on his right with a few colts and fillies right behind them. On his left was a hedge wall that left him no means of escape. He backed up to the hedge wall as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Snips, Snails, Diamond Tiara, and the colts and fillies of Ponyville had him a corner.
Apple Bloom emerged from the crowd and said "We're giving you one last chance to apologize for what you did. Do you accept?"
"Never," Blueblood yelled. "What you brats are doing is completely uncouth."
Apple Bloom let out a sigh and said "I was hoping we would do things the easy way. Never thought it would lead to this."
"I don't care what you do to me," Prince Blueblood said in defiance. "You're all horrid naughty children, and you should all be banished from Canterlot for your delinquency."
Apple Bloom walked back to Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo and said "Give him the mother load."
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo said "Aye aye, Captain," as they turned around and pointed their arms towards the back. Blueblood was completely dumbstruck by what was going to happen.
"Whatever you brats are doing," Blueblood said. "You don't scare me."
"Oh you should you self-centered hypocrite," Apple Bloom said with a smirk.
Suddenly, the sound of a catapult echoed in the air as a giant cake went flying towards Blueblood. Blueblood tried desperately to climb up the hedge, only to fall down every time. As the cake flew towards Blueblood, the self-centered stallion covered his eyes with a blindfold and ate a cucumber slice topped with cottage cheese and a grape.
"I regret nothing," Prince Blueblood said as the cake crashed down on his face, covering him with cake pieces and frosting and leaving the surrounding area a complete mess. The elite ponies could do nothing but laugh really hard. Except for Fancy Pants. Something was bothering him.
"I'd say he deserved it," Fancy Pants said. "But I think I need to have a word with him about this."
"Wait for it," Pinkie Pie said as she placed her hoof on Fancy's shoulder.
As Blueblood dug himself out of the mushed remains of the cake, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Snips, Snails, Rumble and the rest of the colts and fillies of Ponyville celebrated their victory as they danced, cheered and howl into the evening sky.
Blueblood saw the colts and fillies dancing all over his humiliation, and his eyes turned blood red. He got up on his four hooves and stomped the ground with excessive force, causing the colts and fillies to turn towards Blueblood and cower in fear.
"Guys," Scootaloo said in fear. "I think Prince Blueblood just became Hot-blooded."
"EVERYONE FALL BACK," Apple Bloom yelled. "FALL BACK!"
But as the colts and fillies of Ponyville made a mad break to the exit of the pavilion, Prince Blueblood's horn lit up as bright as the sun. One by one, the tails of the colts and fillies were grabbed as he yanked each and every one of them.
"Save me daddy," cried Diamond Tiara.
"I regret everything," yelled Snips.
"Curse you fate," scream Rumble.
"Rarity, HEEEELP!" shouted Sweetie Belle.
Prince Blueblood pulled each and every one of the colts and fillies towards him, right into the cake mess that surrounded this self-centered prince. But he especially pulled Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara closer to him. The two fillies held onto each other as they shook in fear.
"You horrible, horrible, monsters," Prince Blueblood said. He took a step further and yelled. "I should have thrown you all in the dungeon when I THREW YOU OUT OF THIS PAVILION!"
But by the time Prince Blueblood spoke, he realized he said the wrong words and covered his mouth. But it was too late. Nearly every pony in the pavilion's jaw dropped completely over his accidental confession, shocked by how low he went. Blueblood looked around and grinned with embarrassment.
"Uhh," Blueblood said. "I can actually explain."
"I believe that isn't necessary," Fancy Pants said as he, Fleur De Lis and Pinkie Pie walked up to him. Fancy Pants lets Pinkie Pie walk beside her and said "This jolly earth pony has informed me that you interrupted a filly's birthday party in the afternoon, threw them all out, and ruined their cake, decorations, presents, and everything else."
"How can you actually believe this wild animal?" Prince Blueblood said.
"That's easy," Fancy Pants said as he pulled out a parchment and unrolled it. "She gave me a copy of this certificate that stated they were allowed to throw a birthday party here, granted by Princess Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia."
"And I heard you destroyed another copy of that parchment that granted them permission," Fleur De Lis said in complete disgust. "What gave you the right to ruin a filly's birthday for this?"
But before Prince Blueblood could open his mouth, Pinkie Pie went up to him and said "And in case you're wondering, I had a feeling something like this would happen. So I asked Princess Twilight to make more than one copy. She has the original document. I carried these copies with me as proof."
Prince Blueblood was completely dumbfounded. He had been figured out, and every pony in the pavilion glanced coldly at the self-absorbed fool. As he backed away slowly, he slipped on the cake mess and fell on his back.
"Oww," Prince Blueblood said before Diamond Tiara jumped on his chest and stared right into his face.
"You know what's really sad about this?" Diamond Tiara said. "I use to think like you. I use to be that self-centered, selfish pony that you turned out to be. I changed my tune after realizing what I was losing with that kind of attitude, and the revelation of what my mother turned out to be. But even compared to her, you're the biggest jerk in all of Equestria, and I wouldn't even want you as dog catcher, let alone a king."
As Diamond Tiara jumped off Blueblood's chest, Fancy Pants walked up to Prince Blueblood and said "When we inform Princess Celestia about what you did to these children,"
"Please don't," Prince Blueblood interrupted as he got on his knees and begged. "I'll do anything. ANYTHING!"
"Anything you say?" Fancy Pants smirked.
"Yes," Blueblood said. "Anything."
Fancy Pants turned to Fleur De Lis and whispered something in her ear. She then turned to Pinkie Pie and whispered something in her ear. Pinkie Pie smiled with a devilish grin.
"Oh I have no objections over that," Pinkie Pie said
Later that night, the Pavilion had changed back to what it was in the afternoon. Fillies and Colts gathered around a huge table with presents, decorations, cake and other goodies. Diamond Tiara was once again the center star as the colts and fillies yelled out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIAMOND TIARA!" But they weren't the only ones there. The elite ponies that were in the cocktail party were also attending as they clapped their hooves for Diamond Tiara.
"Aren't you glad we got through this mess together?" Apple Bloom said as she served Diamond Tiara a plate with cake and ice cream.
"You bet," Diamond Tiara said.
"Also, for one who use to pick on us," Sweetie Belle said. "You held nothing back at that no-good, self-centered stallion baby."
"Well had you three didn't help Diamond Tiara realized what she did was wrong," Silver Spoon said. "We wouldn't be here celebrating, and you would have gotten your cutie marks."
"Yeah," Diamond Tiara said. "Even after what you did for me, I still owe you a huge debt."
"You don't need to," Apple Bloom said. "After all, we're friends to the end, and rebels towards those who would do us wrong."
"She's right," Snips said. "We're like a big happy family that's here to stick up for each other."
"And if we have to go up against the likes of Tirek or Chrysalis," Snails said. "We'd be willing to do so."
"I don't think that's necessary, boys," Scootaloo said with a chuckle. "Our big sisters are more than capable of handling the likes of them."
"You got that right," Apple Bloom said. "And besides, if we have to go rogue against those who would make all of our lives a living Tatarus, then we should be ready to fight back."
"Then I propose a toast," Rumble said as he lifted his mug of apple cider. "For all of us, who stood against those who don't deserve the respect they demanded. We did it once, and we'll do it again."
The fillies and colts chanted "We did it once, and we'll do it again," as they clanged their mugs together in celebrate.
Nearby, as the elite ponies were enjoying Diamond Tiara's birthday, Pinkie Pie was at a table nearby with Fancy Pants, Fleur De Lis, and two unexpected visitors: Filthy Rich and Spoiled Rich.
"I heard about what happened to my daughter and her friends," Filthy Rich said. "The nerve of that Blueblood, throwing out her birthday for his own self-admiring cocktail party."
"You should have seen the humiliation he went through, Mr Rich," Fancy Pants said as he took a bite of chocolate cake.
"And I heard you and the children gave him his just desserts," Spoiled Rich said.
"Oh you bet," Pinkie Pie said. "Crash a party for your own party and you'll get crashed on back." That comment left Filthy and Spoiled Rich laughing.
"Maybe that will teach that snob not to mess with my daughter," Spoiled Rich said. "No comments on what her friends said about me."
"That's my wife," Filthy Rich said. "She may have some issues, but there are some lines she won't cross, like spoiling a birthday party." He then leaned over to Fancy Pants and whispered "She once had her own birthday party crashed by another narcissist when she was a filly. Back when we use to live in Manehattan in separate families."
"Oh that is disturbing," Fancy Pants said. "What is with some ponies and crashing little colts and fillies birthday parties?"
"Guess some ponies will never learn," Fleur De Lis said. "Especially Prince Blueblood."
And with that, Prince Blueblood comes in wearing a waiter's uniform, carrying a tray with chocolate cake, ice cream and mugs full of apple cider. Judging by the look on his face, he felt defeated and humiliated.
"More goodies for the guests?" Prince Blueblood said as he placed the plates of cake and ice cream on the table with the mugs of apple cider.
"Ahh perfect timing," Fancy Pants said as he took a sip of apple cider. "If I didn't know better, I swear this is better than sparkling grape juice."
"Well that's the apple family for ya," Filthy Rich said as Prince Blueblood walked off. "When it comes to apples, they make alicorn magic look cheap in comparison."
"Quite so," Fancy Pants said.
Fancy Pants then leaned over to Pinkie's ear and said "With what that stubborn fool Blueblood is going through, I'm surprised he doesn't know that Princess Celestia knew about this."
"I know," Pinkie whispered back. "I was the one who informed Princess Celestia about this and she told me to do what I do best to pay him back. And when I told her about what his punishment was going to be, she was cool with it."
Fancy Pants laughed a bit and said "I think this is why Princess Twilight saw something in you, young lady."
"Thank you very much Mr Pants," Pinkie said. "And besides, ain't I a stinka?"
The End
Author's Note
This was just a random story that I came up with, inspired by the classic cartoons of the 40s and 50s, especially around Classic Bugs Bunny cartoons from Warner Bros and Tex Avery cartoons of Metro Goldwyn Mayer. I made Pinkie Pie a karmic trickster because some of her traits from the My Little Pony cartoons does remind me a bit of Bugs Bunny, especially from these episodes
Griffin the Brush Off- When she put Gilda through a humiliation conga(Even though it was Rainbow Dash who placed those pranks)
Putting your Hoof Down- The famous nod to the Duck Season, Rabbit Season gag from Rabbit Fire
28 Pranks Later- When Pinkie Pie looked real sick from the cookies, it reminded me of Bugs Bunny when he was pretending to be dying from a fatal attack like in A Wild Hare and Hare Ribbin.
School Raze- Pinkie Pie tormenting Tirek does remind me a bit of Bugs Bunny giving some of his own foes a hard time
The reason why I selected Prince Blueblood as the antagonist is because of his self-centered, narcissistic attitude that we all know from The Best Night Ever. Only I decided to dial it up even further, almost at the levels of the MLP Deviations comic where Prince Blueblood was sent to Ponyville instead of Twilight Sparkle. This was necessary to set up the humiliation conga for Prince Blueblood.
As for Diamond Tiara, I did want to explore life after she changed her ways. A part of me wanted to show case her as having changed her ways since seeing how she was in her own mother's shadow since her debut. But at the same time, I carried one of her pre-reform traits in her characterization, only directing it at Prince Blueblood to further humiliate that self-absorbed stallion.
And yes folks. This takes place between the Cutie Remark and the Crystalling.
