Bloom and Doom (OLD)
Front Yard - Day 5: Nutty Bowling
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe night after the battle, the plants, Dave and Twilight were sleeping, but Twilight wasn't having a peaceful sleep. She was having a nightmare.
Twilight found herself in a pitch-black place. There was nothing else, just black everywhere. She looked around, confused. Just then Princess Celestia walked up, glaring down at Twilight. The unicorn gulped.
"Um, Princess... Celestia???"
"Twilight. You tried to murder Derpy Hooves. You're not an equestrian citizen, and you're not my student."
"But-"
Just then, a bunch of ponies appeared looking just as angry as Celestia was. Some of those ponies even included her parents, her brother, and her foalsitter!
"YOU BIG MEANIE PANTS!! HOW DARE YOU TRY AND MURDER DERPY?!?!"
"Stay away from me you pony-murdering varmint!!"
"Scram you traitor!! I never want to see you AGAIN!!!!"
"You disgust me, jerk!! Get out of my sight!!"
"I thought you were my friend, but you just betrayed us by trying to kill her!!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!"
"You are the worst pony I ever gave birth to!! I would be far happier if you were a miscarriage!!"
"You are the WORST excuse of a daughter we EVER had!!"
"I knew we should have actually killed you at my wedding!! We are way better without such a lying traitorous foal like you now!! GO AWAY or I will KILL YOU if you don't!!"
"I just CANNOT BELIEVE I actually AGREED to be your foalsitter!! If I knew you would do this, I should've beaten you up or even KILLED you if I had the chance!!"
This was getting too much for poor Twilight. She couldn't take it anymore...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Twilight screamed as she awoke from her nightmare. She looked around with teary eyes and saw Dave, Peashooter, Sunflower, Cherry Bomb, Wall-nut, and Single Cherry with worried looks on their faces.
"Twilight, are you okay?" asked Dave.
Twilight tried to hide her feelings, "I'm fine, okay?" she said, but she wasn't fine at all.
"You don't look fine to us," said Single Cherry.
"Tell us what happened," said Sunflower, "We won't be mean to you."
"Alright then," said Twilight, and she told Dave and the five plants about her nightmare. Once she had finished telling her nightmare, they were all saddened.
“Oh Twilight, I’m sorry to hear that”, Peashooter finally responded.
“If you don’t mind me asking…” requested Sunflower, “But could you tell us which ponies thought you were innocent?”
“Well, the only ponies who believed me were Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and my dragon assistant Spike”, Twilight answered.
“Well if anypony who isn't them come, we’ll explode them!” Cherry Bomb's left head said proudly.
"No, we'll detonate them!" yelled the right head.
"Explode!"
"Detonate!"
"EXPLODE!"
"DETONATE!"
"EXPLODONATE!"
"Wabby, we'll protect you if anypony else who isn't them tries to break in!" said Dave.
“Really?” questioned Twilight as she stopped crying tears.
"We all promise," Dave and the plants said at once.
“Thank you all so much”, said Twilight gratefully.
"Alright zombies," said Dr. Zomboss to his current army of zombies the next day. "We're gonna have an easy win today, because that Dave and Twilight only have two plants out on the lawn."
"Zomboss, I have one question," said Basic, "What if these two do something unexpected that could kill us for the day?"
"Then I have this golf club," answered Zomboss, pulling out a shiny golf club. "I can use it to whack them out cold. Now let's go attack the house again!"
"Well, time for the Wall-nut and Single Cherry only challenge," said Peashooter.
"I'm ready to roll!" shouted Wall-nut.
"The zombies are coming!"
Basic went onto the lawn first. He was just walking, whistling to himself, as he knew it would be an easy victory. Or so he thought.
Twilight began levitating Wall-nut with her magic, then she bowled Wall-nut down the lawn.
"WHEE!"
As Wall-nut rolled through the lawn, he hit Basic and ricocheted, leaving the now-headless zombie to fall down.
Zomboss had seen everything.
"She what?!" shouted Zomboss. "That's it! Untote, Elmore, Watterson, you three go next!"
"Alright then!" said Elmore, as he, Watterson and Untote walked out and stepped on the lawn. But this caught Single Cherry's eye. Twilight noticed too, and she bowled Single Cherry through the lawn as well, using her magic. Single Cherry rolled into the three zombies...
CHA-BOOF!
The three zombies were now a pile of ash. Zomboss was even more furious.
"WHAT?! THAT DOES IT! CALEB, NURP, ARMLESS, YOU GO NOW!"
"Geez, attitude," muttered Armless to himself, as he went on the lawn. But then he saw Twilight use her magic to carry Wall-nut back onto the lawn. And then she bowled.
Wall-nut hit Armless and knocked his head off, but the plant ricocheted into Caleb, knocking his cone off, and then he ricocheted into Nurp, and knocked his head off as well.
Now Zomboss was really mad. So mad that he couldn't even describe it.
"A HUGE WAVE OF ZOMBIES IS APPROACHING! CONEHEAD BRING THE GOLF CLUB WITH YOU!"
"Yes boss!"
As Caleb was still walking on the lawn, Purple, Conehead and Crazy followed him.
Twilight had just replanted Single Cherry. She rolled Single Cherry, who took out Caleb and Purple with an explosion, but the explosion wasn't big enough to damage the two zombies left: Conehead and Crazy.
"We're gonna get the brains!" yelled Crazy.
"Yeah!" shouted Conehead, "I know these brains will be ours, and they will be all juicy and plump, just the way we like it!"
Wall-nut was being carried back to the lawn for a second time. He was then thrown again, and rolled at Conehead, but just at the last second, Conehead grabbed out the golf club and whacked Wall-nut away!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The screaming Wall-nut flew over the roof, and disappeared. Twilight was really mad now. Nobody hurt these plants like that and gets away with it.
She replanted Single Cherry, and then with the biggest strength of her magic, she threw Single Cherry at the two remaining zombies. This was so unexpected for the zombies, that Conehead didn't have the time to whack Single Cherry away with his golf club...
CHA-BOOF!
Twilight gave out a huge sigh of relief before she collapsed and fainted. As Sunflower and Peashooter went near Twilight to check on her, Cherry Bomb was confronted by Zomboss.
"ARGH! FINE!" yelled Zomboss. "You all win for now. Because I'm so nice, we won't be attacking for a few days." Both heads of Cherry Bomb beamed. Zomboss then continued his rant, "And because I'm so nice, you get two new seed packets!" He threw two seed packets at Cherry Bomb. "Oh, and have a good day, mister."
Just then Wall-nut came back.
"Wall-nut?!" said the left cherry.
"We thought you died when you flew over the roof." said the right cherry.
Wall-nut just rolled his eyes and smiled, "I didn't, thanks to my hard shell. Anyways, did we win?"
"We did," said the left cherry.
"And we won't be attacked for a few days, plus we got two new seed packets." finished the right cherry.
As Twilight regained consciousness, she saw the two new seed packets and planted them, along with replanting Single Cherry.
The seeds began to grow after water was poured onto them. The first new seed packet grew into a potato with eyes and a mouth with buckteeth, but on top of the potato was a red ball on a metal stick. The second new seed packet was now two smiling sunflowers connected to each other on a stem.
"The name's Potato Mine!" said the potato. "I blow up zombies when they step on me!"
"We're Twin Sunflower," said the left head of the two sunflowers.
"We give out twice the sun energy as a normal sunflower!" said the right head of the two sunflowers.
"Sisters!" shouted Sunflower as she gave Twin Sunflower a hug. The two-headed sunflower responded by hugging their sister back.
Peashooter, Wall-nut, Potato Mine and Twilight awwed, as Dave came out of the house and awwed too, but Cherry Bomb and Single Cherry were disgusted.
"Ugh, again with the lovey-dovey stuff."
"It makes us sick!"
"Be quiet and let them have their reuniting moment!" yelled Peashooter. This shut the cherries up.
