Dark Times in Ponyville
Chapter 3: The Power of Positivity
Previous ChapterThey were surrounded, Spike was cowering to the shadow ponies, then he asks the White colt what do they do now and the White colt replies that he should get his ready for his guests. Leaving spike all alone with the shadow ponies, he was super afraid, he wanted to move but he couldn't move an inch for he was scared stiff. the shadow ponies have Spike outnumbered a hundred to one, and as the shadow ponies were cornering in on Spike, the White colt shows up out of nowhere in fancy red shirt with white vertical stripes, with a hat of the same color and style, and started singing fancy show tunes. While he was singing out to the shadow ponies to get their attention, he signals Spike to escape while they were distracted, and so Spike makes his move while the shadow ponies started getting into the music. The White colt continued singing while the shadows started dancing, bouncing, limbos and doing the conga line and after a minute and a half of the singing and dancing, the young white colt makes his hasty escape while the shadows continued to get distracted some more.
Eventually they started to realize that they were duped and proceeded to chase after the White colt and Spike, so now we move with the two on the run back to Ponyville, and as they got back, Spike notices that Ponyville is an even bigger mess than what it was when he left to get help.
"Wow, you weren't kidding, this place is totally out of whack."
After he said that, Spike tells him that he needs his help to get to Twilight's place so that he can write a letter to the princess stating that Ponyville is in deep trouble.
"Fiddle sticks Spike!" Yelled out the White colt; "Haven't I told you that the only way to bring peace and prosperity is through the power of positivity."
Spike still didn't understand how being positive is going to help fix the mess that they got themselves into, but then mister Blank Flank started showing Spike the power of positivity through example. He walks up to an Earth Pony, asking her;
"what's wrong, young little filly?"
She replies to him; “I lost the ability and the desire to water my gardens, I mean what’s the point in even watering them if they’re die in the end?”
And the White Colt tells her; “sure they’ll lose their life, if you don’t give what they need. The plant is a lot like you and I, it needs to live too ya know? And plus, there’s always new life out there to plant no? I mean take this bean, this soil and some water; put them together, and you got a tiny bean stalk. And look, more beans!”
And then he continues telling her that there are other plants that need growing as well, and what’s important is that the plants will look beautiful while in their time of bloom just like the gardener and that’s what matters he concluded. After that, she started smiling again and started to feel full of life once again and what’s even better is that the shadow pony started to reverse back into the shadow of the filly from whence it came from and the filly started to shine once more. Now Spike started to understand about being positive, and so he started to spread that positivity through compliments and perseverance. Spike was going everywhere in Ponyville, high and low, telling all the pony folk to continue what they do best because it makes them feel good about themselves and everyone around them, it brings positivity in the world.
And then, Spike needed to bring positive energy to his friends once more, so he goes to each of them; telling them to never give up, to always keep trying at what their good at, never let anything bring them down and always put on a big smile. Then the five started to go back to their old selves at last, and they were happy that Spike gave them the pep talk and as a result, the shadow ponies started to revert back into the shadows of the pony folk in Ponyville. Peace, joy and harmony was finally restored in Ponyville, the skies were starting to look bright again, new plants started to grow, the animals were being nice and good and most of all, all the pony folk were all happy that everything is back to normal. And it was all thanks to Spike and the mysterious White colt with the blank flank. Speaking of which, Spike wanted to know where he was so that he can introduce the five to him, then he noticed that he was outside of Ponyville, heading back home and Spike went to go after him. Spike finally caught up with him, he wanted to know why he was leaving, then the white colt tells him;
"Well, our work here is done my friend, and you did a tremendous job restoring order into this town. I gotta say, you've really changed, prince- oops, I mean spike."
Afterwards, when the White colt went to leave, Spike wanted to know his name so that he'll remember for when the next time they meet again.
"Wait, Before you go, I still don't know your name yet." Yelled out Spike.
And then hearing Spike wanting to know his name, the young white colt tells him his name;
"Just call me... McAllister."
After finding out his name, McAllister informs spike about his friends: "Hey, you do know that you have friends waiting for you, You know?"
Then, Spike turns around and notices that Twilight has finally come home to Ponyville. He immediately rushed over there so he can hug her, after all, he did miss her after being gone and all. So he ran as fast as he could, and before Twilight could even say hi, Spike just tackled her and gave her a big hug, the others were laughing of course, then Spike tries to tell Twilight everything that has happened. after he had told her what happened when she was away, then out of nowhere, Princess Celestia showed up from behind Spike and says;
"Hmm, it seems like young Spike has learned something new from his little experience with saving the citizens of Ponyville."
Then Spike says; "I sure have, I've learned that; no matter what happens, even if the darkest of times occur, you always gotta keep positive. Keep doing whatever it is that you enjoy doing, what you do best, don't let anything ever bring you down and lose sight and interest of whatever it is that you love doing. There's always going to be something that will tear you away of your talents, desires and goals, so always stay positive and... Oh, and always keep smiling."
After he gave in his report to the princess, she immediately went back to Canterlot to do what she does best and as for the gang, well... Let's just say the next day came, and everyone was at another picnic. Having the time of their lives, especially Spike. But of course, Spike was still thinking about McAllister and what he said before he left, about him being changed and the fact that McAllister almost called Spike "prince," as if he knew him somewhere before. So now, after the picnic, Spike is going to figure out who McAllister is and what connections he might have with Spike, if there are any then we'll know soon enough. But for right now, Spike continues to enjoy this picnic with Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Applejack. Because at the moment, that's the number one thing to do is have a good time.
The end. Well, for now at least.
