Power Ponies and the Amazing Nine
Chapter 4: Back to the Real World
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter Hexagon and the human villains were taken to prison, Twilight and her friends, along with their husbands and wife, went to the Power Ponies’ headquarters (After Spike and Emily were kind enough to show them where it is). All of them were sitting in the same room, thinking about what to do. Half of the Mane 6 sat on their chairs close to the Power Ponies’ table, whilst their husbands did the same. Pinkie on the other hand zipped right into the kitchen, with Frosty making sure that she doesn’t go stir crazy like she did last time. Emily and Spike on the other hand were trying to figure out why they hadn’t gone back to their world yet.
‘I don’t get it,’ said Emily as she gained their attention ‘We beat the bad guys, and save the day…’
‘We should’ve gone back by now.’ said Spike as he wondered the same thing ‘Something’s really off.’
However, unknown to anyone in the room, Beau had an idea. For he secretly read through the “Power Ponies and the Amazing Nine” comics and even though he’s not an obsessed fan like Spike and Emily, he found it rather amusing. He remembered, that in this issue, Knight Avenger and Masked Matterhorn revealed each other’s identities and they wanted to find a way to make their relationships work. He then looked at Twilight, and suddenly felt like the day he fell in love with her all over again, which made him smile. He decided to play the part, however, he decided to spice things up a bit. He took a step forward as he said
‘Masked Matterhorn.’ said Beau, gaining Twilight’s attention.
Very slowly, Beau took off his mask, revealing his face to Twilight. At the same time, Spike and Emily noticed it too and signaled the others as they looked at what the dragon and his wife wanted to see.
‘Look, I get it,’ said Beau, trying to play his part ‘I know you would rather face the dangers of the world and the ones who cause it, but wouldn’t you rather be happy to do it with someone you trust, one that would stand by your side through the bitterness of life, no matter how bleak the future might hold?’
Twilight cocked her left eyebrow, wondering what her husband was up to. ‘As I once said, through the hotness of the sun and the coldness of the night, as well as the flow of life as is the flow of death, I would give up everything in my life just to be with the one who once lit my soul alight with its guiding lantern than in the blackest caverns of its Ghastly Gorge.’
That’s when it instantly clicked. The way he talked was exactly from her romance books, namely stories like “Time for Two”, “One day in Equestria”, “Hugs and the City” and “Sunshine of my Life”. Realizing what he was doing and from what book he was doing, she decided to play along. She turned around and had her arms crossed, holding them together whilst pretending to feel insecure.
‘Oh Knight Avenger,’ said Twilight as she played along. ‘I know your heart’s in the right place, but we’re different. We can’t be together, for nopony would ever approve or our love. I know you mean well, but for someone like me…I just don’t know if I can. You deserve to be with someone else.’
‘Matterhorn,’ said Beau as he walked towards her and held her hands the moment she turned around to face him ‘I don’t care about what anyone thinks about us, I don’t care about how different we are, nor do I want anyone else, I want you, and I’ll do whatever I can to make things work.’
Twilight ended up blushing for real, for even after all these years they were married, he still has a way with words. Playing along, she slowly took off her mask, and looked at him as she said ‘If someone like you can love someone like me. Maybe I can do the same for you.’
The two of them held each other tightly, embracing one another. They then looked at one another as Twilight said ‘Now kiss me you big oaf.’
The two of them kissed one another as if they were in a movie. The others couldn’t help but watched how adorable that was. ‘Aw,’ said Rarity as she cooed ‘That’s so sweet.’
Silver whispered to her ‘Those two got that from Time for Two.’
‘I know, it’s amazing.’
When all of a sudden, a portal opened up among them, gaining their attention as all of them were sucked right in.
Back in Equestria, the comic novel, to the surprise of the kids, sharply opened up, allowing all of their parents to pop out and land on the ground further apart.
One by one, they instantly stood up, and realized where they were. ‘Oh thank goodness.’ said Frosty as he collapsed onto the ground, relieved that they were no longer trapped in the comic book.
Bolt sat up straight as he said ‘I think we can all learn a valuable lesson here.’
‘Oh I agree,’ said Rainbow Dash, who felt the same way her husband did ‘And the lesson is…’
Within a split second, all of them looked at Spike and Emily as all of them shouted ‘No more buying enchanted comics!!!’
The two of them flinched the way all of them shouted. ‘Oh come on, that was one time.’ said Spike as he told them ‘Besides, how was I supposed to know that she bought it from the enchanted comics.’
‘You could’ve told them the full story.’ said Chance as he was standing up and helped his wife.
Within an instant, Peacon and Lemon Pie jumped into their mother’s arms as they shouted ‘You’re back!!’
All the kids ran over to their parents and were really happy to see them, with Chance, Starlight, Mystic and Trixie quickly going over to their babies and gave each of them a hug whilst very happy to see them. ‘Thank goodness,’ said Warm Breeze ‘We were so worried.’
‘And you guys totally kicked bad guy butt!!’ shouted Bolt Jr. when he raised his arms in joy ‘That was awesome!!’
‘Wait,’ said Rainbow Dash ‘How did you know we were fighting Mane-iac and her cronies?’
‘Oh, after y’all went in to save our dads,’ said Apple Slice as he told them ‘Moonlight figured out how to create a spell that would allow us to see inside the comic book so that we could see how you guys were doing. And boy, y’all wrassled them varmints more than ma when she was fighting that raging bull last year at the Rodeo in Appaloosa.’
‘It was nothing really,’ said Moonlight ‘It was an elite class spell and it was difficult, but I was able to figure out how anyone could do it. I even got my Cutie Mark on it.’
Moonlight showed her cutie mark to them, and it revealed a spell book with a six magenta star on it, which surprised Twilight. She couldn’t help but choke up whilst shedding tears of joy.
‘My daughter learned an elite spell and got her Cutie Mark?’ said Twilight as she could barely hold it in. She ended up hugging Moonlight tightly as she said ‘I’m so proud of you.’
‘Indeed,’ said Crystal Gem, whose tone suddenly changed as she said ‘Though it would’ve been a lot better if dad didn’t admire how well her costume looked on her body. It was so embarrassing.’
‘And don’t even get started on the rest of our dads.’ said Bolt Jr. as he agreed with Crystal.
The wives looked at their husbands surprised, whilst some of them cleared their throats and whistled, pretending nothing was wrong. However, their red faces proved that they couldn’t hide it, causing the wives to give their own sneaky smiles when they had something in mind for them.
‘But uh, one question,’ asked Moonlight when she looked at her mother ‘What did you mean by Uncle Spike’s “Little Friend”?’
Twilight instantly stiffened up, realizing that their kids also heard their conversations. ‘Uh…’ said Twilight, trying her best to defend her daughter’s innocence ‘I’ll tell you when you’re older.’
‘But…’ said Moonlight when she really wanted to know.
‘When you’re older young lady.’ said Beau whilst he quickly intervened, trying his best too.
‘Ugh, fine.’ said Moonlight as she crossed her arms and pouted, with Beau and Twilight sighing in relief.
When all of a sudden, the Young Six walked into the room as some were in conversations whilst Silverstream said in her cheery attitude ‘Hello everyone.’
They suddenly saw that the entire room was in shambles, much to their surprise. ‘Wow, did you guys really have that big of a welcome back party?’ asked Sandbar.
‘Uh, it’s a long story there.’ said Bucky as he stood up, with him helping his wife up.
‘But if you want to know,’ said Trixie whilst she rocked her little filly ‘We ended up getting sucked into a comic book because a certain dragon forgot to tell his wife about what happened the last time they had an enchanted comic in the same room.’
‘Hey, how was Emily supposed to know, she only knows like, one out of two enchanted comic book stores in Equestria.’ said Spike trying to defend her.
‘Wait, there are two?’ said Silver as he dusted himself.
‘The first enchanted comic is in Canterlot,’ said Rarity as she remembered what Spike told her and her friends ‘So where is the other one?’
‘In Manehattan.’ said Emily.
‘Okay, we seriously need to look for potential dangers to Equestria.’ said Genus as he got up and helped Fluttershy up like a gentleman.
‘Yes, um,’ said Fluttershy as she was trying to collect herself ‘I really don’t want to go through something like that again.’
Chance held Blessed Night as he said ‘Just make sure you did it in a calmed manner, or did you forget about how you lot yelled and scolded at everypony since they didn’t get the whole point of the journal that all of you published. I mean, didn’t you think to consider writing something like “This book is based on actual events. All characters that were written in this book are actual and real live characters that have been interviewed and desired to share their experience to those who would want a friend” in order for them to click that that’s the reason why you printed the journals in the first place?’
Twilight then groaned at that as she face palmed ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’
‘Wait, how did you know about that?’ said Beau whilst he was surprised that Chance knew about that.
‘Let’s just say, I married a masterful story teller.’ said Chance as he nuzzled his wife, making Starlight blush as she did the same.
‘And don’t get me started on the terrible beat down Silver gave the ponies who were horrible to Rarity.’ said Chance.
The Young Six were surprised by what Silver did, even Twilight and the others’ kids. With Ocellus saying ‘Whoa, you really beat someone to a pulp Mr. Silver?’
Silver groaned a bit as he held onto his forehead ‘Not one of my best moments.’
‘But why’d you do it?’ asked Crystal Gem ‘Why were they horrible to mother?’
Starlight then said ‘Long story short, the ponies thought that Twilight and the others were characters from the journal they published.’
‘Yeah,’ said Beau ‘Long before the guys and I were brought to Equestria, they wrote most of their friendship lessons down onto their journals ever since they were inspired by Princess Celestia’s journal.’
‘They published the journal so that other ponies could learn more about maintaining their friendships and to realize that when it comes to problems, they’re not alone.’ said Genus.
‘Yeah,’ said Bolt when he had a negative memory of the so called admirers ‘Until most of the ponies thought about them the wrong way, thinking they were just characters from a story.’
The kids were surprised by this as Bolt Jr. said ‘Okay, are they really that stupid?’
Frosty also got angry thinking about it as he said ‘And as a result, Rarity lost her popularity through her “Supposed Selfishness”, Pinkie Pie got laughed at every word she says without even trying, Rainbow Dash keeps getting followed by ponies who was fixated on her, especially by a bunch of other kids who wouldn’t know cool if a piece of manure got shoved in their faces, Fluttershy gets criticized for her “Inconsistent assertiveness”, Applejack got swamped by admirers who considered themselves part of the family and nearly drove Sweet Apple Acres bankrupt, and Twilight was regarded less interesting ever since she became a Princess.’
That part, shocked the kids and Young Six even more. ‘Okay,’ said Smolder as she got mad ‘Now I really don’t like them.’
‘If Yona get hands on them,’ said Yona as she got angry ‘Yona smash them to pieces.’
‘Oh, you don’t need to do that.’ said Spike as he sat on a nearby chair.
The kids responded with a ‘Huh?’
‘When the guys and I found out about this when we were away,’ said Emily ‘We feared something like that might happen, so we were able to sent out messages to everypony and creature throughout Equestria to give them a heads up.’
‘Oh you should’ve seen it,’ said Trixie as she remembered like it happened only yesterday ‘Beau and the others yelled at the so called admirer’s ears off of what they were doing were ungrateful, that Twilight and the others had done a lot of good for us ever since they freed Luna from her darkness. And not just Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Shining Armour and myself were there to back them up, but so did every pony and creature they helped throughout Equestria and beyond.’
‘Now because of it,’ said Spike as he smirked ‘Everypony who criticized them now knows better. All of them sent apology letters and bits over to them, and more and more ponies are now ordering more fashion from Rarity, they treated Fluttershy with respect, others gave Rainbow her space when she needed it, everypony paid every bit they had to Applejack and her Family from eating their stuff without a second thought, people were more considerate with Pinkie and Twilight was now well respected. Not to mention we had to recall all the journals to make a few changes.’
‘What kind of changes?’ asked Warm Breeze.
‘Well for starters by adding that part of the writing on the journal from what Chance just said’ said Beau ‘And that we added some stuff in the journal from the day all of them first met.’
‘I’m glad you did,’ said Twilight as she let out a sigh, remembering the relief that happened the next day ‘We’re just happy that everypony was able to come to their senses and listened like the two fillies did when they truly understood what the journal was meant to be for.’
‘But anyway,’ said Pinkie Pie after she instantly brought over some cake for them ‘What are you guys doing here?’
‘Don’t tell me you forgot,’ said Gallus ‘You guys were going to let us go with your kids to the Crystal Empire for the weekend to visit Flurry Heart and Raging Halberd.’
The kids were surprised with widened eyes and some gasps. ‘Wait, that’s today?!!’ said Bolt Jr. when he just remembered.
The husbands groaned as they just remembered. ‘Oh right, we forgot about that.’ said Mystic.
‘Wait, visit the Crystal Empire?’ said Twilight.
‘See, whilst you were away for the Rainbow Festival,’ said Beau as he filled her in ‘Flurry Heart and Halberd really wanted Moonlight and the others to come over for a visit. They asked permission from Cadance, Shining Armour and Blade and they approved. They even sent a scroll about an hour before all of you left.’
‘Oh right,’ said Twilight as she remembered ‘I read through it but I didn’t have the chance to respond to them.’
Crystal Gem instantly held her mother’s leg as she said ‘Can we please go mother? We promise we’ll be good and listen to aunty Cadance whilst we’re there.’
Rarity thought long and hard about this. If Cadance and Shining Armour are there, they’ll be sure to keep them in line, and also remembered that Mistmane was also there. ‘Oh I suppose. And I’m sure that Mistmane won’t mind showing all of you her Crystal Décor.’
‘Yay!!’ shouted the kids as they got excited.
Until Rarity then realized ‘Goodness, that means we have to go pack up for your trip and quickly!!’
Rarity then grabbed Silver and Crystal as she said ‘Quick, there is much to do.’, and then teleported back to her house.
‘Quick, come on, let’s go!’ shouted Bolt Jr. as he and his parents quickly went back home.
‘There’s not a moment to lose.’ said Twilight as she, Beau and Moonlight quickly left to gather her things, with everypony else, including their husbands doing the same.
Twenty minutes later
The kids and their parents were at the train station with the Young Six, with the children greeting their parents before the train’s departure.
‘Y’all be good over there now.’ said Applejack.
‘And be sure to listen to Shining Armour, Blade and Cadance whilst you’re there,’ said Bucky ‘They may be familiar with us, but they’re still royalty over there, so be sure to show them some respect.’
‘Ah will Pa.’ said Apple Slice with a nod of acknowledgement.
The conductor then called out ‘All aboard!’
‘Oh, train about to leave.’ said Yona as she pointed at the train.
‘Come on, we gotta go.’ said Smolder.
As the Young Six and kids boarded, Moonlight said ‘And don’t worry, we’ll be back Sunday before dinner, not a minute more and not a minute less.’
As the train left once they were on the train, the parents waved goodbye as Beau said ‘Glad our daughter take’s her punctuality after us.’
‘Same here.’ said Twilight as she was thankful that her daughter can also be like her most of the time. ‘Although…’
Beau noticed that Twilight and the rest of her friends were acting weird for some reason, which the guys took notice.
‘So now that the children are away for the weekend,’ said Starlight with an alluring smile ‘And we were able to find a babysitter for my babies and Trixie’s…’
They were suddenly teleported back inside the castle, however, Spike and the rest of the guys suddenly found themselves in the Amazing Nine’s costumes, as well as Spike in his costume. But when they turned around, to their surprise, their wives were too in their costumes whilst they had their own poses, making them feel aroused.
‘Care for a little cosplay romance?’ asked the girls.
The guys looked at one another, and couldn’t help but make their own goofy smiles. They looked back at them and said ‘Oh, it is on.’
‘But wait,’ said Bucky when he realized something ‘Do we have enough rooms in the castle? Plus when we uh, ahem, make our own noises, we should make sure it’s more secluded.’
‘Oh don’t worry,’ said Twilight as she smiled ‘I used my magic to create more rooms in this castle. And I made sure they’re sound proof so that we can hear the hallway, but not the rooms. Or the rooms from the outside. So we should be able to have our private time for as loud as we need them to.’
‘That’s my cute little bookworm,’ said Beau as he walked over to her and hugged her. ‘Always one step ahead.’
‘So it settles then,’ said Twilight ‘We enjoy our private time, and we’ll meet in the kitchen tomorrow.’
‘Deal.’ said everybody
Everybody went to their rooms, and as soon as the sun sets, the fun will begin.
