My Little Pony: Harmonic Nine
Chapter 5: Having boyfriends but keep Your Fathers
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIn Sarah's Room at the Home-Ship, Sarah was having a nice dinner with Donald, Douglas, Nicole, Tasha and Discord all together in her room. "I can't believe you put all of this together, Sarah." Tasha praised, seeing Sarah's homemade dinner, which consisted of homemade turkey, mashed potatoes, corn and lemonade.
"Hehe, well I learned from you Mamas." Sarah grinned.
Tasha and Nicole grinned at her. "So Sarah, we heard there's this.. Grand Galloping Gala event going on in Canterlot. Heard all your friends are going." Douglas said. "Are you going?"
"Actually... I am going..." Sarah replied with a small smile.
"That's great honey." Tasha grinned.
"Yeah, that means your need for social interaction is growing." "And that your brain is able to compel with social interactions." Nicole and Donald stated.
"Donny, Nicole, stop treating her like she's a subject of science." Douglas stated.
"Technically, she still is even thought she's in a new world." Donald replied, earning a glare from his wife. "What?"
Tasha and Douglas sighed, "I also heard that you can bring at least one guest with you to this... Gala. So who are you going to bring?" Douglas asked Sarah.
"Actually... I was kinda... thinking I would bring Aura..." Sarah said with a slight blush.
"Aura?" Discord questioned.
"Werepony boyfriend." Douglas explained, bluntly.
"Boyfriend! Aren't you a bit young to have a boyfriend?" Discord asked.
"I'm 16!" Sarah stated.
"Fine...." Discord grumbled.
"Aura's actually very nice. Donny, Jack and I were suspicious about him before, but we found out that he was half wolf and that in his pack it was illegal to date a pony, but since Sarah is human-turned-pony she's like a loophole in that law, so she can date him. Which didn't go to well with this wolf pack." Donald explained.
"Hmmm... well... I guess if he's chill with you all then, I guess he'll be cool with me as well." Discord smiled and Sarah grinned at her father, "Thanks dad."
Discord smiled, "Of course."
What no one noticed was the three wereponies that confronted Aura and Sarah during their first date, were eavesdropping on the conversation. "So... Aura is taking this pony to the Grand Galloping Gala, huh? Well.. I'd say we make an appearance of our own..." the leader smirked and the two followers grinned as well.

Ren's POV
At the Canterlot Castle's Hall Lobby; noble and rich ponies from far and wide were invited and come to Grand Galloping Gala. Princess Celestia dressed in her crimson dress with sun patterns was standing on the top of first staircase level, along with Twilight dressed in her cyan dress with orange ribbon and her mane tied up in round. The gang and I were dressed in our tuxedos and dresses as well. The ones that we wore at the Wedding and Sarah's Coronation.
Princess Celestia smiled, "I must say, it's been very nice having you take over some of the planning responsibilities for this year's Gala."
"Anything I can do to make it easier on you," Twilight said calmly.
"Thank you, Twilight. I am quite looking forward to just enjoying the Gala for once." Princess Celestia thanked happily.
I nodded, "Glad to hear it. We'll do anything to make you easy, Celestia."
Princess Celestia giggled in amusement, "Thank you Ren. So I heard Sarah actually found a boyfriend?"
"She sure did." Twilight grinned. "And I believe she's bringing him to the Gala tonight."
"Seriously? Aura doesn't seem like the 'fancy' type. Especially the part wolf thing." Kaede said.
"Oh hush Private Ross. Private Moon will be just fine." Skye said with faith in Aura.
"Well see..." Jamie stated.
Suddenly, the fanfare sounded. Everyone turned to the front entrance. Who was it now?
"Announcing the spirit of chaos, Discord, and his guest, the, uh..." Announcer announced firmly but stopped as he doesn't know the name of creature. Discord whispered to the Announcer's ear. Announcer sighed, "The Smooze!"
Everyone turned to the front as they found Discord dressed in his orange suit and top hat and the greenish slimy ooze-like creature dressed in his blue top hat and red bow-tie marched into hall. Everyone gasped in shock and concern. "What... is... that thing?!" I exclaimed in a mixture of disgust and shock.
"That's a green blob... of snot..." Jack stated.
"Good evening, everypony! What a glorious affair!" Discord said happily. The Smooze turned to the second announcer. It took the golden shiny fanfare honk into its mouth. He smiled as he gave it a hug, "He does have a yearn for shiny things, the rascal."
As Discord departed, he found his paw was covered by slim. He turned and dry it off on the announcer's white scarf.
Twilight sighed, "I'll take care of this."and she flew off at once and away from Princess Celestia for the moment. "Us too." I said and the gang and I followed Twilight towards Discord to have a discussion while the Smooze wandered off happily.
"What are you doing here with..." Twilight demanded in concern while pointed at the Smooze, "that?!"
Discord smiled as he waved it off, "Now, now, now. The Smooze may be an "it", but it's an it with a heart of, well, blob."
"It's a blob alright." Skye grumbled.
"Please tell me you're not trying to spoil Sarah's date with Aura, by bringing that thing." Kaede pleaded with Discord while looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"How? Me! Of course not." Discord scoffed, feeling a bit hurt. "I would never do such a thing to my daughter."
Twilight turned and glared at Discord, "This night is extremely important to me, Discord." She smiled uneasily to her former mentor. She gritted her teeth before glaring at him, "Keep it under control!"
Discord grunted a bit, "Yes, yes, yes, of course."
Then more fanfare sounded. Whose coming now?
"Presenting the Queen of Harmony, Sarah Gem and her family!" the announcer pony called and in came Sarah, Aura, Donald, Douglas, Tasha and Nicole.
Donald and Douglas were wearing matching tuxedos, but Douglas had four bracelets on his right wrist for some reason. Tasha was wearing a black and white dress with a v-shape in the middle of the chest. She also were white heels and a white braclet on her left wrist.
Sarah was wearing the rainbow dress she bought in Manehattan with silver shoes that went with it.
Aura.... dare I say... looked fancy as well. His mane was combed back, giving a smooth texture and he was wearing a tuxedo with a red rose on the right side on his chest.
Nicole... er... well... she was just wearing a plain yellow dress. Guess I should have expected that... knowing her personality.
The ponies bowed to Sarah as she and her family walked over to us. "Hey everypony." Aura greeted.
"Hey Aura, you look all dressed up. I'm impressed." Discord smiled.
"Thanks, I'm not much of a fan of fancy parties, but Sarah convinced me to go despite that." Aura said.
"You'll be just fine, Aura. And Don't worry about any of these high class punks judging you." Jack said, cracking his knuckles.
"No starting a fight, Jack." Mason scolded at him and Jack huffed, "Grr... fine...."
Then we suddenly heard a screaming noise and turned to the back door entrance. Someone was screaming while knocking the door in getting in. But the door was locked! "Who could that be?" Mason wondered.
"LET ME IN!"
"RARITY?!" Mason exclaimed and he rushed and opened the door. Rarity rammed through it. She was covered by some sticky and dirty greenish slime. "What the-? Ewww... Rarity, what are you covered in?" Kaede questioned in disgust.
Rarity breathed heavily, "That creature took my jewels!"
We all looked outside as they spotted the Smooze was swallowing all the shining and brightening crystals, jewels and diamonds from some rich ponies. They quickly ran away from it. As it ate the jewels, its body glowed brightly and bigger. "That thing eats jewelry!" I exclaimed in shock. "And it makes it bigger?!
Twilight groaned in annoyance as she turned and glared at Discord, "Discord! I thought I told you to keep your friend under control!"
"Oh, please. I have better things to do than to watch that thing all night." Discord huffed. Discord approached to Rarity as he magically summoned the vacuum. He sucked all of the greenish slimes off her but unfortunately that included her dress. She yelped in shock as she covered herself of her body like she was naked. Ironically...
Shorty Thinking came to her as he prepared the set of her emergency backup dress. Rarity took and dressed it up. She sighed in relief. She turned and glared at Discord for the moment. She huffed angrily as she trotted off"Like spending time with my daughter and her boyfriend. Let's go!" Discord then grabbed Sarah and Aura by their hooves and they zoomed off, "Woah! Hey!"
Meanwhile, Aura's three ex-wolf pack members snuck into the Gala undetected and looked around. "So Claw, what do you suppose we should do to ruin this gala and get revenge on Aura?"
"I'm working on it, Slash." Claw replied.
"Hey Claw, how about we give that thing some shiny objects and make it grow bigger and bigger?" the third member questioned, seeing Smooze wanting some more jewelry to eat. "As always Eclipse, you're intelligence is second to none..." Claw smirked evily.
So the three of them gathered as much jewelry as they could and feed it to Smooze, making him grow bigger and bigger until he grew into a greenish slimy tsunami.
Everyone turned and found the greenish slimy tsunami poured on them. They all screamed in fear and panicked as they all quickly ran away before they could get caught by it. But unfortunately, they are now!
Some Pegasi tried to fly out but their hooves got stuck, like Rainbow Dash. Some Unicorns fired their magical blasts at the greenish slime but nothing happen. "None of my magic works on this ooze." Twilight said, before tuning to Celestia. "Can you stop it?" Celestia tried her magic, but the ooze got onto her horn, rendering it useless. "I'm afraid not."
Ren and the others got stuck in the ooze as well, "Great now what?!" Jack exclaimed, trying to get out, but he only got more stuck in the ooze.
"He was small before! How'd he get so big?!" Carrie exclaimed, holding on Mason. "I don't know, but we have to get him back down to size." Mason stated.
"We don't even know anything about this... thing! Who could possibly help us?" Donald growled.
"Why don't you ask the one who brought him here." Tasha grumbled, while batting away a part of the Smooze that was trying to get her jewelry.
"We have to get Discord or Sarah, they should know what's going on with Smooze." Ren stated.
"But they're off who knows where and we're stuck in here? How can we possibly get to them?" Kaede pointed.
"Pikapi!" "En En!"
Suddenly, window broke in flew a group familiar dragons that were a happy sight for Ren and the others.
"Snowflake! "Eclipse!"
"Torch!"
"Inferno."
"Skystorm!"
"Dusk and Dawn!"
"Comet!"
"Striker!"
"Slice!"
Indeed, it was Snowflake and the dragons Sarah gave Ren and the others at the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange. The nine dragons cooed and hovered above their owners. "Thank goodness you guys came. We need you to go get Sarah and Discord, hurry." Ren pleaded and the nine dragons nodded and flew off to get Sarah, Aura and Discord.
Sarah, Aura and Discord were in the gardens, having a relaxing time together. "So I see you're being a good boyfriend to my daughter." Discord smiled.
"Dad.... Jack and the others had already intimidated him into treating me well." Sarah warned.
"I'm not intimidating him, honey." Discord said. "I'm just congratulating him and treating you with respect."
"Alright..." Sarah said. Then Aura's ears perked up and Snowflake along with the others landed in front of the others. "Snowflake? Eclipse? Everyone? What's wrong?" Sarah asked, seeing the worry on their faces.
Snowflake warbled at Sarah and she gasped, "Smooze is out of control?!"
"Huh?" Aura questioned.
"They said that Smooze turned into a green tsunami and trapped everyone in his ooze in the ballroom. Come on!" Sarah hopped onto Snowflake and the group flew back to the ballroom where they saw the carnage. "WOAH!" Aura exclaimed.
"Sarah, Aura, Discord!" Ren called and the group flew down to him.
"Guys, what happened?" Sarah asked.
"We thought Discord would know." Kaede said.
"He must have gotten a lot of jewelry somehow, but he was outside? How'd he get jewelry?" Discord questioned.
"That would be our doing..." Claw smirked as he and his small pack appeared, walking on the ooze.
"You three again." Aura growled and the dragons snarled at them as well.
"How'd you get in here?" Jack stated.
"We're half wolves, we're sneaky and we decided to show up and get our revenge." Eclipse snarled.
"Not if I can help it!" Sarah exclaimed and she fired her magic at them but they dodged and Claw tackled her into the ooze, "Sarah! Newbie!" Donald and Jack exclaimed in horror.
However, Sarah burst from the ooze as a large phoenix and cried out majestically. She had Claw in her talon and threw him onto the windows. Sarah cried out and fired a beam of rainbow light, similar to her Elements' magic and blasted the Smooze, causing him to shrink down and freeing Ren and everypony else from the ooze. The ponies and the others cheered happily as Sarah landed and cried furiously at Claw and his pack of two.
"Now... you can leave the easy way.. or the hard way..." Aura snarled at Claw and his pack of two.
"Hmph.. you may have won this round Aura, but we shall have our revenge for breaking Pack Law!" Claw exclaimed as he and his wolves ran off.
Sarah turned back into her pony form and smiled. "Excellent work as always honey." praised Tasha. Sarah smiled at one of her mothers, "Thanks."
"I know. I'm a genius." Donald and Douglas said in unsion and looked at each other.
"I'm the genius!" Donald exclaimed.
"I still helped make her." Douglas retorted back.
"Yes, helped and acutally created her."
"Oh, you wanna do there?"
"Yes I do."
"OW!" Luckily Snowflake and Eclipse landed on the bickering brothers with amusing smiles. "Thank you." Sarah and Ren said and they both smiled.
Twilight sighed, "I'm sorry, Princess Celestia. I thought I could give you a break tonight, but it turns out I was in over my head."
"You have nothing to apologize for." Princess Celestia shook her head gently while smiling, "This has been the most fun Gala in years!"
"I know, it was a—What?!" Twilight asked in shock and surprise.
"Most fun?!" Ren and the others exclaimed in the same tone. "But a pack of wolves, nearly ruined everything!" "But there was ooze all over the place! And one of the guests threatened to send somepony to another dimension!" Ren and Twilight exclaimed.
Princess Celestia giggled in amusement, "I know! Can you imagine how dull it would have been if I hadn't invited Sarah's family and boyfriend?" Twilight was just shocked as Celestia used her wing to push her frozen student out onto the dance floor. "Come on! Whoo! The night is still young!"
Twilight facehooved at Celestia attitude. "Well, at least we know she actually... planned for it...?" Ren questioned awkwardly.
"Eh." the others went.
"Yeah, that figures.."
"Can you two have them let us up!" Douglas and Donald exclaimed in annoyance. Tasha and Nicole chuckled at the sight of the two.
