Escape from equestriaby MyheartisburningforjesusChaptersNew FriendsSurpriseNightmare Moon(part 1)Defeat(part1)New FriendsAuthor's Note Sorry this is short. This can also be found on Ao3 by the account of the same name. New Friends In the heart of 'The Amazing Digital Circus,' Pomni sighed, gazing at the overcast sky that mirrored her mood. "I really hope Caine doesn't drag us into another wild adventure," she murmured, her mind replaying the chaos of their last escapade. Ragatha caught her eye briefly, then looked away, guilt evident in her expression. Pomni couldn't blame her; after all, she had left Ragatha behind during their last adventure in a selfish search for escape. Their betrayal hung heavily in the air, an unspoken tension that Gangle, a ribbon-bodied figure with a stark white ceramic theater mask, sought to dispel. "What do you think Caine has planned for us today?" Gangle asked, attempting to lighten the mood. Jax, a purple rabbit humanoid dressed in pink overalls and yellow gloves, spoke up with a slurred voice, "Probably something light, I hope. But let's not forget, Pomni, you really messed up last time." Before anyone could respond, Zooble, a character as unique as their appearance, intervened. Their hot pink triangular head turned sharply towards Jax, their mismatched eyes glaring. "Leave her alone, Jax," Zooble said, clearly annoyed. Just then, Kinger, a tall chess piece-like figure with peach skin and royal attire, stepped in. "Hello, everyone!" he greeted cheerfully, standing next to Gangle. As they settled into an uneasy peace, Caine appeared out of nowhere, his voice booming with excitement. "HELLO, MY LITTLE SUPERSTARS! READY FOR THE MAIN THEME SONG?" Before they could react, Caine whisked them onto the stage, starting the theme song. The theme song echoed through the circus, with each character's name being sung in a lively tune. Pomni's mind raced with worry. "Where are those voices coming from?" she thought nervously. Caine's voice boomed again, "Today, I'm sending you through an exit door into the magical land of Equestria. This journey will last as long as needed. Help the ponies and find an exit before it's too late!" With that, he pushed them through a door, sending them tumbling into Equestria. Caine chuckled to himself, "Oh, I do love me!" The group landed in a grassy meadow just outside Ponyville. Jax groaned, "OW! My everything hurts!" Zooble, now completely magenta with a unicorn horn and a puzzle piece cutie mark, retorted sharply, "No one asked." As they struggled to stand, Pomni, transformed into a white earth pony with a black mane and pinwheel eyes, wondered aloud, "What happened to all of us?" Gangle, now a red pegasus with a white mane and theater mask cutie marks, looked at Pomni and complimented, "Wow, you look pretty, Pomni." Jax, a purple pegasus with crossed carrot cutie marks, questioned their surroundings. Zooble, frustrated, snapped, "Haven't you paid any attention? We're in Equestria!" Ragatha, now a peach unicorn with a needle and thread cutie mark, and Kinger, a peach earth pony with a chess piece mark, also adjusted to their new forms. Zooble, exasperated, declared, "Let's get this dumb adventure over with so we can go back." The group slowly learned to walk with their new forms and ventured into Ponyville. The ponies' curious stares made Pomni self-conscious, especially after Jax's teasing comment about her hat size. Just then, a golden chariot nearly collided with them, but they managed to avoid it. The chariot passengers, a lavender unicorn and purple dragon, were greeted by a gasping light pink pony who quickly zoomed away. Zooble, irritated, looked ready to confront the newcomers. The lavender unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, laughed at the sight of the circus performers. Spike, the dragon, curiously asked, "Who are you guys, a bunch of circus performers? And what's up with your bodies?" pointing at Zooble. Zooble glared at him, "IT'S NOT NICE TO POINT!" Twilight stepped in, "Who are you, and what do you want?" Gangle, tears welling up, replied, "We don't want trouble. We're new here and need somewhere to stay." Twilight offered them shelter but mentioned needing help with the Summer Sun Celebration. Jax's confusion about the event led Ragatha to quickly cover up, pretending they knew about it. Twilight, slightly displeased with their ignorance, suggested starting over with introductions. The group hesitantly agreed, hoping to find their way in this new, strange world. Twilight Sparkle, the lavender mare with a hint of weariness in her eyes, followed the winding dirt path alongside Spike, her loyal dragon companion. Spike, engrossed in a checklist, announced, "The Summer Sun Celebration official overseers checklist!" At Sweet Apple Acres, the air buzzed with preparation. An orange mare, bursting with energy, galloped toward an apple tree. "YEEHAW!" she exclaimed, skillfully bucking the tree. Apples tumbled into buckets in a satisfying chorus, her face beaming with pride. "Not bad!" Jax commented, his eyes following the mare's swift movements. Twilight sighed, a mix of admiration and overwhelm in her gaze. "Let's get this over with," she muttered under her breath. "Good afternoon! My name is Twilight Sparkle," she began, only to be interrupted by the enthusiastic hoofshake from the orange mare. "Well, howdy-doo, Miss Twilight, a pleasure making your acquaintance. I'm Applejack. We here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like making new friends!" Applejack's greeting was as hearty as her handshake. The performers, witnessing this exchange, looked taken aback by Applejack's exuberance. Twilight's hoof, still vibrating from the handshake, drew a snicker from Spike and Jax. Twilight shot them a glare, then cleared her throat. "Well, I am here to supervise preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. You're in charge of the food, right?" "We sure as sugar are! Would you care to sample some?" Applejack's offer was tempting, but Twilight hesitated. "As long as it doesn't take too long..." She gasped suddenly, her tone mirroring her impatience. "Ugh, you are starting to sound like Ragatha," Jax teased. "Shut it, Jax," Ragatha retorted, her glare as sharp as her words. "Soup's on, everypony!" Applejack announced, redirecting attention to the feast of preparations. "Thanks, but I really need to hurry—" Twilight began nervously. "Aren't you gonna stay for brunch?" Apple Bloom inquired. "Sorry, but we have an awful lot to do..." Twilight said bluntly. Groans and sad sighs were heard all around the table. "FINE," Twilight said, annoyed. The Apple family cheered. Spike checked off food from the list, next up was weather. "Gangle: That food was delicious," Spike noted, then mentioned there's supposed to be a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds. "Well, she's not doing a very good job, is she?" Zooble observed, just as a [whack] and [splat] interrupted them. Twilight and Ragatha were drenched by Rainbow Dash's clumsy raincloud handling. "Ah! My dress! Look what you've done!" Ragatha exclaimed angrily. Rainbow Dash, amid more sheepish laughter, overdid her apology with a patented Rain-Blow Dry, leaving the ponies' hair very poofy. "No no. Don't thank me. You're quite welcome," she burst out laughing, joined by Spike. Twilight, now understanding she was Rainbow Dash, expressed her frustration about the uncleared sky. Rainbow Dash boasted she could clear it in "ten seconds flat," a claim she promptly proved, much to everyone's amazement. Upon noticing the circus gang's strange appearance, Rainbow Dash expressed excitement about hanging out more, then flew off, leaving everyone in awe. Spike found the whole situation somewhat beautiful, despite Twilight's growl of frustration. "Yeah," Jax smirked, earning glares from the circus gang. SurpriseAfter their run in with rainbow dash, the group went to check on another task "Decorations. Beautiful..." Spike exclaimed in awe Yes, the décor is coming along nicely. This ought'a be quick. I'll be at the library in no time. Beautiful indeed. Twillight said absentmindedly. Not the décor, her! Spike exclaimed No, no, no, oh! Goodness no. A white unicorn mare said, she had curly indigo hair and tail, and had 3 diamonds as a cutie mark. How are my spines? Are they straight? Spike asked "Straight as an arrow" Jax chuckled Good afternoon— Twliight began, only to be interrupted again "Just a moment, please! I'm 'in the zone', as it were." "The, "Zone"?" Ragatha asks. "Oh, yes! Sparkle always does the trick, does it not? Why, Rarity, you are a talent. Now, um, how can I help yo—" Rarity squeals in shock. "Oh my stars, darling! Whatever happened to your coiffure?!" Rarity asks, surprised "Oh, you mean my mane? Well, it's a long story. I'm just here to check on the decorations, and then I'll be out of your hair!" "Out of my hair? What about your hair?!" Rarity gasped "Wait! Where are we going?! Help!" Twillght yelped as rarity pushed the gang into her sewing shop. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************ " No, no, uh-uh. Too green. Too yellow. Too poofy. Not poofy enough. Too frilly. Too... shiny." Rarity exclaimed as she started pulling out dresses for her. She then rushed to the circus preformers and gave them exquisite costumes For Pomni, It was gliter,gliter,gliter! Her red and blue suit now shone in the sunlight whenever she made a movement. Rarity removed her hat, as she found it "Unfashionable". It was then replaced with red and blue pom poms which tied pomni's mane into pigtails. "Um,Thanks?" Pomni murmurred She then spun to Gangle. Not much work was done on her, other than rarity giving her a short black dress with tiny white diamonds at the seams. Rarity continued on the other circus members, measuring their sizes and giving them correct outfits. She turned to review her work. "You all look absolutley glamourous for the summer sun celebration!" She exclaimed with excitment. She made her way to Twillight, pulling out various items Now go on, my dear. You were telling me where you're from. Rarity said, while pulling a piece of fabric attaced to twillight's back "I've... been sent... from Canterlot... to— "she gasped, as rarity was practically squeezing the breath out of her. "Huh?" Rarity paused "Canterlot?! Oh, I am so envious! The glamour, the sophistication! I have always dreamed of living there! I can't wait to hear all about it! We are gonna be the best of friends, you and I... Emeralds?! What was I thinking? Let me get you some rubies!" Quick! Before she decides to dye my coat a new color! Twilight exclamed, racing out the door. "Yes, Let's go already." Zooble sighed, as she didn't want another tight costume. Spike sighed in deep admiration for his newfound lover. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* "Wasn't she wonderful?" Spike said dreamily. "Focus, Casanova. What's next on the list?" Twilight asked. "Oh, uh, music! It's the last one!" They heard the excited chirps of the birds. ] "That music sound beautiful! Gangle exclaimed" "Oh my. Um, stop please, everyone, umm. Excuse me, sir? I mean no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny-tiny bit off. Now, follow me, please. A-one, a-two, a-one two three-." A yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail said. Hello! Twillight said in a loud voice. The mare yelps and shrinks back at the sight of all the ponies. " Oh my, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten your birds. I'm just here to check up on the music and it's sounding beautiful." "I'm Twilight Sparkle." She pauses "What's your name?" "Um... I'm Fluttershy." "What did she say?" Pomni asks "I'm sorry, what was that?" "Um... My name is Fluttershy." She says even quieter. "Didn't quite catch that." says Twillight Fluttershy words are then reduced to a small squeak that nopony could hear. "What a wimp" Jax snickers. Ragatha shoots jax a look that could kill. "Well, um, it looks like your birds are back, so I guess everything's in order. Keep up the good work!" "My, such beautiful bluebirds" Kinger compliments.Then his eyes zone out and he yells at surprise at Fluttershy. She squeaks in response. "Oookay."Twillight says, cutting into the awkward silence. "Well, that was easy." Fluttershy lifts up her head and sees Spike."A baby dragon!" She squeals "Oh, I've never seen a baby dragon before. He's sooo cute!" I know right?! Gangle squealed and the two pegasi bonded instantly "Well, well, well...!" Spike said proudly. "Oh my, he talks. I didn't know dragons could talk. That's just so incredibly wonderful I, I just don't even know what to say!" "Well, in that case, we'd better be going." said Twillight. "Wait, wait! What's his name?" "I'm Spike." "Hi Spike, I'm Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon! And what do dragons talk about?" Fluttershy says happily. "Well, what do you wanna know?" "Absolutely everything." Zooble groans and smack her head with her hoof."First she didn't want to talk, and now she says something because of a baby dragon." "That's the power of cute for you, Zooble" Jax replies. Zooble's left ear twitched in indignation at Jax's comment. She hated when he was busy cracking jokes at the wrong times. She suddenly had the urge to utter a curse word out loud, but felt that the ponies wouldn't exactly appreciate the language. "F**k you Jax, little piece of s**t" Zooble muttered under her breath. "Well... I started out as a cute little purple and green egg..." She overheard Spike say. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************** "...and that's the story of my whole entire life! Well, up until today. Do you wanna hear about today?" "Oh, yes, please!" "You literally told her your whole lifestory!" Zooble complained. Twillight turns to face fluttershy. "Gyah!" Spike says, after being jerked in another direction. "I am so sorry, how did we get here so fast? This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep." Says Twillight. "No I don't— whoa!" Aww, wook at dat, he's so sweepy he can't even keep his widdle bawance! Says Twillight, baby talking to Spike. "Poor thing, you simply must get into bed..." "Yes, yes, we'll get right on that. Well, g'night!" Twillight says. Twillight pushes the gang into the "treehouse" and slams the door into fluttershy's face. "Huh. Rude much?" Comments Spike. "Sorry, guys, but I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time! I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time. Now, where's the light?" "Surprise!" Yells a huge group of ponies. "Wow. Another party." jax says unamused. Zooble groans. "That's it. Guys, i'm going upstairs, I didn't ask for all this S**t." All the ponies then stopped and stared at Zooble. "Um, I mean, I'm going upstairs." She said nerviously She then trots up the stairs. Nightmare Moon(part 1)"Surprise!" Pinkie Pie: Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh? "Do you ever shut up?" Zooble asked "Why no silly,Why, if i were to shut up, no pony could ever hear all the happy stories i have to tell them!" Pinkie pie exclaimed "Very surprised. Libraries are supposed to be quiet." "Well, that's silly! What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring! Y'see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all "hello" and I was all huuuuh, remember? Y'see I've never saw you before and if I've never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville!" Twillight groans "SHUT HER UUPP!" Jax growls "And if you're new, that meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, then I had an idea, and that's why I went huuuuh! I must throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville! See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!" Twillight absentmindedly pours herself a drink of VERY hot sauce into a cup. She then drinks it. A sound of a kettle is heard. "Are you all right, sugarcube?" AppleJack asks,worridly. "She's on fire!!! how is that even possible!!" Gangle cries "Well cartoon logic, duh. I mean haven't you been paying attention in the circus crybaby?" "Jax!" Ragatha snaps "At least a little respect here, these ponies worked hard to make this party possible" "I'm just saying!" Jax argues back "The cartoon universe is crazy!!" Aww, she's so happy she's crying! Pinkie exclaimes Twillight then gallops up to her room. Spike turns the bottle around. "Hot sauce". Pinkie takes his hand and pours it on a cupcake. Ooh... She eats the whole thing, the ponies giving her worried looks. What? It's good! Pinkie says with a mouth full of food. "Hey Twilight! Pinkie Pie's starting "pin the tail on the pony"! Wanna play?" "No! All the ponies in this town are crazy! Do you know what time it is?!" "It's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration." He replies. "Everypony has to stay up, or they'll miss the Princess raise the sun! You really should lighten up, Twilight. It's a party!" Twillight mockingly imitates spike as he leaves The door closes "Ugh, here I thought I'd have time to learn about the Elements of Harmony but, silly me, all this ridiculous friend-making has kept me from it!" Twillight muses. "Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about everlasting night." I hope the Princess was right... I hope it really is just an old pony tale..." She whines, a bit tired. Spike opens the door."C'mon, Twilight, it's time to watch the sunrise!" Pinkie Pie: Isn't this exciting? Are you excited, 'cause I'm excited, I've never been so excited— well, except for the time that I saw you walking into town and I went huuuuuh but I mean really, who can top that? "Yeah pinkie, I'm excited too, but don't jump so much, we just stayed up all night and we need all the energy we can get!" Ragatha replies, trying to calm the pink pony. "Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" The Mayor mare declares. All the ponies start cheering, with pinkie being the loudest. "In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria..." "Ready?" Fluttershy asks gangle."I'm ready!" Gangle squeals "...Princess Celestia!" But nopony is there. "Huh?" Rarity asks, confused "Is this how it usually goes?" Pomni asks. Everypony chats quietly and nervously. Twillight gulps."This can't be good." "Remain calm, everypony, there must be a reasonable explanation!" The mayor says, trying to calm the ponies down. "Ooh, ooh, I love guessing games! Is she hiding?" Pinkie pie says, with her usual excitement. "She's gone!" Rarity screams. "Ooh, she's good." Pinkie shrieks as she lays eyes on Nightmare Moon. Everypony gasps. "Oh no... Nightmare Moon!" Twillight yelps. "You know her?!" Zooble says in indignation"Then why didn't you tell any of us!" Twilight's left eye twitches ever so slightly, as she feels rage."I did know! And i've been trying to warm you guys ever since! but you wouldn't listen!" The group ears lower in shame, as they recount al their actions. "Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious little sun-loving faces." "What did you do with our Princess?!" Rainbow dash demands "Whoa there, Nelly..." Applejack catches Rainbow dashes tail before she could sucker punch Nightmare moon. " Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?" "A creep, a loser, a total Jack***, a ************, Royal Pa-" Jax stops as Pomni whacks his right wing, shivering in fear. "The list could go on."He concludes. "Ooh, ooh, more guessing games! Um, Hokey Smokes! How about... Queen Meanie! No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty—" Applejack shoves a cupcake in pinkie's mouth to keep her silent. "Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years?" She says as she jumps in fluttershy's personal space."Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?" She declares, as she uses a piece of her hair to flick rarity's chin upwards. "I did. And I know who you are. You're the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon!" They all gasp in shock. "Well well well, somepony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here." "You're here to... to..." She gulps. "Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last.From this moment forth, the night will last forever!" To be continued... Author's Note Please comment. Thanks for reading! next chapter's gonna be wild Defeat(part1)Author's Note I split it in half because I'm lazy AND tired. Defeat(part1) Nightmare moon cackles like an evil witch, watching the ponies cower in fear. Mayor mare jumps on that."Seize her! Only she knows where the Princess is!" Several pegasi soldiers launch themselves into the evil one, only to be shot back rudely by lightning bolts. "Stand back, you foals!" Nightmare moon breaks into another wicked laugh as she shoots bolts everywhere. Nightmare moon transforms into a indigo aura streak and flies out the door. "Come back here!" Rainbow screams."Nighttime? Forever? Where's she going?" She sees Twilight running fast. Twilight picks up books from her personal library frantically, as the rest of the ponies make their way inside. Rainbow gets "And just what are the Elements of Harmony? And how did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh? Are you a spy? Whoa!"Applejack yanks her back by the tail. "Simmer down, Sally. She ain't no spy. But she sure knows what's going on. Don't you, Twilight?" Twilight blinks"I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon. Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her, but I don't know what they are, where to find them; I don't even know what they do!" Meanwhile, Kingerr as standing near the "E" section of the shelf. "The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide." Twilight roughly pushes him aside, causing a crash "How did you find that?!" She yelps. "It was under "E"" Kinger resumes his usual confused demeanor as Twilight just stares, then picks up the book. "Oh. There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said, the last known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters. It is located in what is now..." "The Everfree Forest!" All ponies gasp.Gangle and Pomni huddle up to Ragatha like two scared kids. Pinkie is excited"Whee! Let's go!" "Not so fast. Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this on my own." "No can do, sugarcube. We sure ain't lettin' any friend of ours go into that creepy place alone. We're stickin' to you like caramel on a candy apple."Applejack says, as the ponies go in one by one. Pinkie licks her lips"Especially if there's candy apples in there. What? Those things are good." "So, none of you have been in here before?" Ragatha asks, because she herself had never been in the forest. "Ugh, heavens no! Just look at it - it's dreadful." "And it ain't natural.-"Applejack adds"Folks say it don't work the same as Equestria." "What's that supposed to mean?" Pomni asks Rainbow starts prowling like a hungry cat"Nopony knows. You know why?" "Rainbow, quit it." "'Cause everypony who's ever come in has never... come... out!" CRASH!At that sentence, the land split and crumbled, leaving the earth ponies and unicorns tumbling.Jax,Gangle,Fluttershy and Rainbow where left flying there. "Fluttershy! Gangle!Jax! Quick!" She zoomes in towards the screaming ponies. "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness." Fluttershy rushes in as well as Gangle and Jax. Rainbow holds pinkie, while fluttershy gets rarity.Jax grabs Zooble by the tail, She is grateful for Jax once.Gangle gets Pomni,while Kinger and Ragatha hold themselves up with their magic. Twillight is the last remaining, she screams as she falls down the slope. Applejack holds her hooves in time. "Applejack! What do I do?" She hold to Applejack for dear life. "Let go." "Are you crazy?" "No I ain't. I promise you'll be safe. "That's not true!" "Now listen here. What I'm sayin' to you is the honest truth. Let go, and you'll be safe." Twilight obeys and lets go.At the bottom, Rainbow and Fluttershy catch her. They sink a little. "Sorry girls. I'm not used to holding anything more than a bunny or two." Fluttershy says meekly.Twilight watches as Applejack makes her way down the Slope, jumping on rocks. "Pinkie and Rarity were saved, whoosh... Me and Fluttershy loop-de-loop around and WHAM! Caught you right in the nick of time." Rainbow boasts of her acomplishments. Twilight sighs"Yes, Rainbow, I was there, and I'm very grateful, but we gotta— [gasp] A manticore!" "We've gotta get past him!"the manticore swips to rarity.She launches a mean karate kick."Take that, you ruffian!" The angry manticore roars deep, ruining rarity's hair. "Wait." Fluttershy begins slowly. "YEE-HAW! Git along, little dogie." Applejack is riding the maticore like a horse. The manticore shakes applejack off.Applejack sails in the air. "Whoa! All yours, partner." Rainbow salutes"I'm on it." "Wait!" Rainbow flys in a circle.The manticore smacks her away with his scorpion tail. "Rainbow!" Twilight yells.This fuels all the ponies, who look ready for a fight " WAIT!" Fluttershy screams, grabbing everyones attention. "Shhh... It's okay. Oh, you poor, poor little baby." "Little?" Rainbow is confused. " Now this might hurt for just a second." The manticore roars again. The ponies fear for fluttershy's safety. "Aw you're just a little ol' baby kitty, aren't you? Yes you are, yes you are." The manticore licks fluttershy's mane. "How did you know about the thorn?" Twillight asks. " I didn't. Sometimes we all just need to be shown a little kindness." " No. My eyes need a rest from all this icky muck." The air quality decreases, and the sky turns brown"Well, I didn't mean that literally." " That ancient ruin could be right in front of our faces and we wouldn't even know it." Rarity bumps into twilight. "I didn't see you there, my apologies." "Oh wait, I think I stepped in somethin'."She stops to inspect her hooves. Fluttershy screams. "It's just mud." Then she turns to a tree.The tree has a ugly and frightening face.She shouts in suprise. As the ponies are screaming in fear, with fluthershy's being the loudest,Pinkie pie is laughing at the funny faces, and making them back. "Pinkie, what are you doing?! Run!" Twilight tells her. "Oh you guys, don't you see?" (Author's note: To be a good writer,I decided to inlude the link to the song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVfzvS0FbR8) [Pinkie Pie] When I was a little filly and the sun was going down... Pomni:Tell me she's not... [Pinkie Pie] The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frown... Rarity: She is. [Pinkie Pie] I'd hide under my pillow From what I thought I saw But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way To deal with fears at all Rainbow Dash: Then what is? [Pinkie Pie] She said, "Pinkie, you gotta stand up tall Learn to face your fears You'll see that they can't hurt you Just laugh to make them disappear." Ha! Ha! Ha! Ponies: [gasp] [Pinkie Pie] So, giggle at the ghostly Guffaw at the grossly Crack up at the creepy Whoop it up with the weepy Chortle at the kooky Snortle at the spooky And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... hahahaha... heh... Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuugh!
New FriendsAuthor's Note Sorry this is short. This can also be found on Ao3 by the account of the same name. New Friends In the heart of 'The Amazing Digital Circus,' Pomni sighed, gazing at the overcast sky that mirrored her mood. "I really hope Caine doesn't drag us into another wild adventure," she murmured, her mind replaying the chaos of their last escapade. Ragatha caught her eye briefly, then looked away, guilt evident in her expression. Pomni couldn't blame her; after all, she had left Ragatha behind during their last adventure in a selfish search for escape. Their betrayal hung heavily in the air, an unspoken tension that Gangle, a ribbon-bodied figure with a stark white ceramic theater mask, sought to dispel. "What do you think Caine has planned for us today?" Gangle asked, attempting to lighten the mood. Jax, a purple rabbit humanoid dressed in pink overalls and yellow gloves, spoke up with a slurred voice, "Probably something light, I hope. But let's not forget, Pomni, you really messed up last time." Before anyone could respond, Zooble, a character as unique as their appearance, intervened. Their hot pink triangular head turned sharply towards Jax, their mismatched eyes glaring. "Leave her alone, Jax," Zooble said, clearly annoyed. Just then, Kinger, a tall chess piece-like figure with peach skin and royal attire, stepped in. "Hello, everyone!" he greeted cheerfully, standing next to Gangle. As they settled into an uneasy peace, Caine appeared out of nowhere, his voice booming with excitement. "HELLO, MY LITTLE SUPERSTARS! READY FOR THE MAIN THEME SONG?" Before they could react, Caine whisked them onto the stage, starting the theme song. The theme song echoed through the circus, with each character's name being sung in a lively tune. Pomni's mind raced with worry. "Where are those voices coming from?" she thought nervously. Caine's voice boomed again, "Today, I'm sending you through an exit door into the magical land of Equestria. This journey will last as long as needed. Help the ponies and find an exit before it's too late!" With that, he pushed them through a door, sending them tumbling into Equestria. Caine chuckled to himself, "Oh, I do love me!" The group landed in a grassy meadow just outside Ponyville. Jax groaned, "OW! My everything hurts!" Zooble, now completely magenta with a unicorn horn and a puzzle piece cutie mark, retorted sharply, "No one asked." As they struggled to stand, Pomni, transformed into a white earth pony with a black mane and pinwheel eyes, wondered aloud, "What happened to all of us?" Gangle, now a red pegasus with a white mane and theater mask cutie marks, looked at Pomni and complimented, "Wow, you look pretty, Pomni." Jax, a purple pegasus with crossed carrot cutie marks, questioned their surroundings. Zooble, frustrated, snapped, "Haven't you paid any attention? We're in Equestria!" Ragatha, now a peach unicorn with a needle and thread cutie mark, and Kinger, a peach earth pony with a chess piece mark, also adjusted to their new forms. Zooble, exasperated, declared, "Let's get this dumb adventure over with so we can go back." The group slowly learned to walk with their new forms and ventured into Ponyville. The ponies' curious stares made Pomni self-conscious, especially after Jax's teasing comment about her hat size. Just then, a golden chariot nearly collided with them, but they managed to avoid it. The chariot passengers, a lavender unicorn and purple dragon, were greeted by a gasping light pink pony who quickly zoomed away. Zooble, irritated, looked ready to confront the newcomers. The lavender unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, laughed at the sight of the circus performers. Spike, the dragon, curiously asked, "Who are you guys, a bunch of circus performers? And what's up with your bodies?" pointing at Zooble. Zooble glared at him, "IT'S NOT NICE TO POINT!" Twilight stepped in, "Who are you, and what do you want?" Gangle, tears welling up, replied, "We don't want trouble. We're new here and need somewhere to stay." Twilight offered them shelter but mentioned needing help with the Summer Sun Celebration. Jax's confusion about the event led Ragatha to quickly cover up, pretending they knew about it. Twilight, slightly displeased with their ignorance, suggested starting over with introductions. The group hesitantly agreed, hoping to find their way in this new, strange world. Twilight Sparkle, the lavender mare with a hint of weariness in her eyes, followed the winding dirt path alongside Spike, her loyal dragon companion. Spike, engrossed in a checklist, announced, "The Summer Sun Celebration official overseers checklist!" At Sweet Apple Acres, the air buzzed with preparation. An orange mare, bursting with energy, galloped toward an apple tree. "YEEHAW!" she exclaimed, skillfully bucking the tree. Apples tumbled into buckets in a satisfying chorus, her face beaming with pride. "Not bad!" Jax commented, his eyes following the mare's swift movements. Twilight sighed, a mix of admiration and overwhelm in her gaze. "Let's get this over with," she muttered under her breath. "Good afternoon! My name is Twilight Sparkle," she began, only to be interrupted by the enthusiastic hoofshake from the orange mare. "Well, howdy-doo, Miss Twilight, a pleasure making your acquaintance. I'm Applejack. We here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like making new friends!" Applejack's greeting was as hearty as her handshake. The performers, witnessing this exchange, looked taken aback by Applejack's exuberance. Twilight's hoof, still vibrating from the handshake, drew a snicker from Spike and Jax. Twilight shot them a glare, then cleared her throat. "Well, I am here to supervise preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. You're in charge of the food, right?" "We sure as sugar are! Would you care to sample some?" Applejack's offer was tempting, but Twilight hesitated. "As long as it doesn't take too long..." She gasped suddenly, her tone mirroring her impatience. "Ugh, you are starting to sound like Ragatha," Jax teased. "Shut it, Jax," Ragatha retorted, her glare as sharp as her words. "Soup's on, everypony!" Applejack announced, redirecting attention to the feast of preparations. "Thanks, but I really need to hurry—" Twilight began nervously. "Aren't you gonna stay for brunch?" Apple Bloom inquired. "Sorry, but we have an awful lot to do..." Twilight said bluntly. Groans and sad sighs were heard all around the table. "FINE," Twilight said, annoyed. The Apple family cheered. Spike checked off food from the list, next up was weather. "Gangle: That food was delicious," Spike noted, then mentioned there's supposed to be a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds. "Well, she's not doing a very good job, is she?" Zooble observed, just as a [whack] and [splat] interrupted them. Twilight and Ragatha were drenched by Rainbow Dash's clumsy raincloud handling. "Ah! My dress! Look what you've done!" Ragatha exclaimed angrily. Rainbow Dash, amid more sheepish laughter, overdid her apology with a patented Rain-Blow Dry, leaving the ponies' hair very poofy. "No no. Don't thank me. You're quite welcome," she burst out laughing, joined by Spike. Twilight, now understanding she was Rainbow Dash, expressed her frustration about the uncleared sky. Rainbow Dash boasted she could clear it in "ten seconds flat," a claim she promptly proved, much to everyone's amazement. Upon noticing the circus gang's strange appearance, Rainbow Dash expressed excitement about hanging out more, then flew off, leaving everyone in awe. Spike found the whole situation somewhat beautiful, despite Twilight's growl of frustration. "Yeah," Jax smirked, earning glares from the circus gang.
SurpriseAfter their run in with rainbow dash, the group went to check on another task "Decorations. Beautiful..." Spike exclaimed in awe Yes, the décor is coming along nicely. This ought'a be quick. I'll be at the library in no time. Beautiful indeed. Twillight said absentmindedly. Not the décor, her! Spike exclaimed No, no, no, oh! Goodness no. A white unicorn mare said, she had curly indigo hair and tail, and had 3 diamonds as a cutie mark. How are my spines? Are they straight? Spike asked "Straight as an arrow" Jax chuckled Good afternoon— Twliight began, only to be interrupted again "Just a moment, please! I'm 'in the zone', as it were." "The, "Zone"?" Ragatha asks. "Oh, yes! Sparkle always does the trick, does it not? Why, Rarity, you are a talent. Now, um, how can I help yo—" Rarity squeals in shock. "Oh my stars, darling! Whatever happened to your coiffure?!" Rarity asks, surprised "Oh, you mean my mane? Well, it's a long story. I'm just here to check on the decorations, and then I'll be out of your hair!" "Out of my hair? What about your hair?!" Rarity gasped "Wait! Where are we going?! Help!" Twillght yelped as rarity pushed the gang into her sewing shop. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************ " No, no, uh-uh. Too green. Too yellow. Too poofy. Not poofy enough. Too frilly. Too... shiny." Rarity exclaimed as she started pulling out dresses for her. She then rushed to the circus preformers and gave them exquisite costumes For Pomni, It was gliter,gliter,gliter! Her red and blue suit now shone in the sunlight whenever she made a movement. Rarity removed her hat, as she found it "Unfashionable". It was then replaced with red and blue pom poms which tied pomni's mane into pigtails. "Um,Thanks?" Pomni murmurred She then spun to Gangle. Not much work was done on her, other than rarity giving her a short black dress with tiny white diamonds at the seams. Rarity continued on the other circus members, measuring their sizes and giving them correct outfits. She turned to review her work. "You all look absolutley glamourous for the summer sun celebration!" She exclaimed with excitment. She made her way to Twillight, pulling out various items Now go on, my dear. You were telling me where you're from. Rarity said, while pulling a piece of fabric attaced to twillight's back "I've... been sent... from Canterlot... to— "she gasped, as rarity was practically squeezing the breath out of her. "Huh?" Rarity paused "Canterlot?! Oh, I am so envious! The glamour, the sophistication! I have always dreamed of living there! I can't wait to hear all about it! We are gonna be the best of friends, you and I... Emeralds?! What was I thinking? Let me get you some rubies!" Quick! Before she decides to dye my coat a new color! Twilight exclamed, racing out the door. "Yes, Let's go already." Zooble sighed, as she didn't want another tight costume. Spike sighed in deep admiration for his newfound lover. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* "Wasn't she wonderful?" Spike said dreamily. "Focus, Casanova. What's next on the list?" Twilight asked. "Oh, uh, music! It's the last one!" They heard the excited chirps of the birds. ] "That music sound beautiful! Gangle exclaimed" "Oh my. Um, stop please, everyone, umm. Excuse me, sir? I mean no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny-tiny bit off. Now, follow me, please. A-one, a-two, a-one two three-." A yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail said. Hello! Twillight said in a loud voice. The mare yelps and shrinks back at the sight of all the ponies. " Oh my, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten your birds. I'm just here to check up on the music and it's sounding beautiful." "I'm Twilight Sparkle." She pauses "What's your name?" "Um... I'm Fluttershy." "What did she say?" Pomni asks "I'm sorry, what was that?" "Um... My name is Fluttershy." She says even quieter. "Didn't quite catch that." says Twillight Fluttershy words are then reduced to a small squeak that nopony could hear. "What a wimp" Jax snickers. Ragatha shoots jax a look that could kill. "Well, um, it looks like your birds are back, so I guess everything's in order. Keep up the good work!" "My, such beautiful bluebirds" Kinger compliments.Then his eyes zone out and he yells at surprise at Fluttershy. She squeaks in response. "Oookay."Twillight says, cutting into the awkward silence. "Well, that was easy." Fluttershy lifts up her head and sees Spike."A baby dragon!" She squeals "Oh, I've never seen a baby dragon before. He's sooo cute!" I know right?! Gangle squealed and the two pegasi bonded instantly "Well, well, well...!" Spike said proudly. "Oh my, he talks. I didn't know dragons could talk. That's just so incredibly wonderful I, I just don't even know what to say!" "Well, in that case, we'd better be going." said Twillight. "Wait, wait! What's his name?" "I'm Spike." "Hi Spike, I'm Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon! And what do dragons talk about?" Fluttershy says happily. "Well, what do you wanna know?" "Absolutely everything." Zooble groans and smack her head with her hoof."First she didn't want to talk, and now she says something because of a baby dragon." "That's the power of cute for you, Zooble" Jax replies. Zooble's left ear twitched in indignation at Jax's comment. She hated when he was busy cracking jokes at the wrong times. She suddenly had the urge to utter a curse word out loud, but felt that the ponies wouldn't exactly appreciate the language. "F**k you Jax, little piece of s**t" Zooble muttered under her breath. "Well... I started out as a cute little purple and green egg..." She overheard Spike say. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************** "...and that's the story of my whole entire life! Well, up until today. Do you wanna hear about today?" "Oh, yes, please!" "You literally told her your whole lifestory!" Zooble complained. Twillight turns to face fluttershy. "Gyah!" Spike says, after being jerked in another direction. "I am so sorry, how did we get here so fast? This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep." Says Twillight. "No I don't— whoa!" Aww, wook at dat, he's so sweepy he can't even keep his widdle bawance! Says Twillight, baby talking to Spike. "Poor thing, you simply must get into bed..." "Yes, yes, we'll get right on that. Well, g'night!" Twillight says. Twillight pushes the gang into the "treehouse" and slams the door into fluttershy's face. "Huh. Rude much?" Comments Spike. "Sorry, guys, but I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time! I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time. Now, where's the light?" "Surprise!" Yells a huge group of ponies. "Wow. Another party." jax says unamused. Zooble groans. "That's it. Guys, i'm going upstairs, I didn't ask for all this S**t." All the ponies then stopped and stared at Zooble. "Um, I mean, I'm going upstairs." She said nerviously She then trots up the stairs.
Nightmare Moon(part 1)"Surprise!" Pinkie Pie: Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh? "Do you ever shut up?" Zooble asked "Why no silly,Why, if i were to shut up, no pony could ever hear all the happy stories i have to tell them!" Pinkie pie exclaimed "Very surprised. Libraries are supposed to be quiet." "Well, that's silly! What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring! Y'see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all "hello" and I was all huuuuh, remember? Y'see I've never saw you before and if I've never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville!" Twillight groans "SHUT HER UUPP!" Jax growls "And if you're new, that meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, then I had an idea, and that's why I went huuuuh! I must throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville! See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!" Twillight absentmindedly pours herself a drink of VERY hot sauce into a cup. She then drinks it. A sound of a kettle is heard. "Are you all right, sugarcube?" AppleJack asks,worridly. "She's on fire!!! how is that even possible!!" Gangle cries "Well cartoon logic, duh. I mean haven't you been paying attention in the circus crybaby?" "Jax!" Ragatha snaps "At least a little respect here, these ponies worked hard to make this party possible" "I'm just saying!" Jax argues back "The cartoon universe is crazy!!" Aww, she's so happy she's crying! Pinkie exclaimes Twillight then gallops up to her room. Spike turns the bottle around. "Hot sauce". Pinkie takes his hand and pours it on a cupcake. Ooh... She eats the whole thing, the ponies giving her worried looks. What? It's good! Pinkie says with a mouth full of food. "Hey Twilight! Pinkie Pie's starting "pin the tail on the pony"! Wanna play?" "No! All the ponies in this town are crazy! Do you know what time it is?!" "It's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration." He replies. "Everypony has to stay up, or they'll miss the Princess raise the sun! You really should lighten up, Twilight. It's a party!" Twillight mockingly imitates spike as he leaves The door closes "Ugh, here I thought I'd have time to learn about the Elements of Harmony but, silly me, all this ridiculous friend-making has kept me from it!" Twillight muses. "Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about everlasting night." I hope the Princess was right... I hope it really is just an old pony tale..." She whines, a bit tired. Spike opens the door."C'mon, Twilight, it's time to watch the sunrise!" Pinkie Pie: Isn't this exciting? Are you excited, 'cause I'm excited, I've never been so excited— well, except for the time that I saw you walking into town and I went huuuuuh but I mean really, who can top that? "Yeah pinkie, I'm excited too, but don't jump so much, we just stayed up all night and we need all the energy we can get!" Ragatha replies, trying to calm the pink pony. "Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" The Mayor mare declares. All the ponies start cheering, with pinkie being the loudest. "In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria..." "Ready?" Fluttershy asks gangle."I'm ready!" Gangle squeals "...Princess Celestia!" But nopony is there. "Huh?" Rarity asks, confused "Is this how it usually goes?" Pomni asks. Everypony chats quietly and nervously. Twillight gulps."This can't be good." "Remain calm, everypony, there must be a reasonable explanation!" The mayor says, trying to calm the ponies down. "Ooh, ooh, I love guessing games! Is she hiding?" Pinkie pie says, with her usual excitement. "She's gone!" Rarity screams. "Ooh, she's good." Pinkie shrieks as she lays eyes on Nightmare Moon. Everypony gasps. "Oh no... Nightmare Moon!" Twillight yelps. "You know her?!" Zooble says in indignation"Then why didn't you tell any of us!" Twilight's left eye twitches ever so slightly, as she feels rage."I did know! And i've been trying to warm you guys ever since! but you wouldn't listen!" The group ears lower in shame, as they recount al their actions. "Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious little sun-loving faces." "What did you do with our Princess?!" Rainbow dash demands "Whoa there, Nelly..." Applejack catches Rainbow dashes tail before she could sucker punch Nightmare moon. " Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?" "A creep, a loser, a total Jack***, a ************, Royal Pa-" Jax stops as Pomni whacks his right wing, shivering in fear. "The list could go on."He concludes. "Ooh, ooh, more guessing games! Um, Hokey Smokes! How about... Queen Meanie! No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty—" Applejack shoves a cupcake in pinkie's mouth to keep her silent. "Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years?" She says as she jumps in fluttershy's personal space."Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?" She declares, as she uses a piece of her hair to flick rarity's chin upwards. "I did. And I know who you are. You're the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon!" They all gasp in shock. "Well well well, somepony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here." "You're here to... to..." She gulps. "Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last.From this moment forth, the night will last forever!" To be continued... Author's Note Please comment. Thanks for reading! next chapter's gonna be wild
Defeat(part1)Author's Note I split it in half because I'm lazy AND tired. Defeat(part1) Nightmare moon cackles like an evil witch, watching the ponies cower in fear. Mayor mare jumps on that."Seize her! Only she knows where the Princess is!" Several pegasi soldiers launch themselves into the evil one, only to be shot back rudely by lightning bolts. "Stand back, you foals!" Nightmare moon breaks into another wicked laugh as she shoots bolts everywhere. Nightmare moon transforms into a indigo aura streak and flies out the door. "Come back here!" Rainbow screams."Nighttime? Forever? Where's she going?" She sees Twilight running fast. Twilight picks up books from her personal library frantically, as the rest of the ponies make their way inside. Rainbow gets "And just what are the Elements of Harmony? And how did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh? Are you a spy? Whoa!"Applejack yanks her back by the tail. "Simmer down, Sally. She ain't no spy. But she sure knows what's going on. Don't you, Twilight?" Twilight blinks"I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon. Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her, but I don't know what they are, where to find them; I don't even know what they do!" Meanwhile, Kingerr as standing near the "E" section of the shelf. "The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide." Twilight roughly pushes him aside, causing a crash "How did you find that?!" She yelps. "It was under "E"" Kinger resumes his usual confused demeanor as Twilight just stares, then picks up the book. "Oh. There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said, the last known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters. It is located in what is now..." "The Everfree Forest!" All ponies gasp.Gangle and Pomni huddle up to Ragatha like two scared kids. Pinkie is excited"Whee! Let's go!" "Not so fast. Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this on my own." "No can do, sugarcube. We sure ain't lettin' any friend of ours go into that creepy place alone. We're stickin' to you like caramel on a candy apple."Applejack says, as the ponies go in one by one. Pinkie licks her lips"Especially if there's candy apples in there. What? Those things are good." "So, none of you have been in here before?" Ragatha asks, because she herself had never been in the forest. "Ugh, heavens no! Just look at it - it's dreadful." "And it ain't natural.-"Applejack adds"Folks say it don't work the same as Equestria." "What's that supposed to mean?" Pomni asks Rainbow starts prowling like a hungry cat"Nopony knows. You know why?" "Rainbow, quit it." "'Cause everypony who's ever come in has never... come... out!" CRASH!At that sentence, the land split and crumbled, leaving the earth ponies and unicorns tumbling.Jax,Gangle,Fluttershy and Rainbow where left flying there. "Fluttershy! Gangle!Jax! Quick!" She zoomes in towards the screaming ponies. "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness." Fluttershy rushes in as well as Gangle and Jax. Rainbow holds pinkie, while fluttershy gets rarity.Jax grabs Zooble by the tail, She is grateful for Jax once.Gangle gets Pomni,while Kinger and Ragatha hold themselves up with their magic. Twillight is the last remaining, she screams as she falls down the slope. Applejack holds her hooves in time. "Applejack! What do I do?" She hold to Applejack for dear life. "Let go." "Are you crazy?" "No I ain't. I promise you'll be safe. "That's not true!" "Now listen here. What I'm sayin' to you is the honest truth. Let go, and you'll be safe." Twilight obeys and lets go.At the bottom, Rainbow and Fluttershy catch her. They sink a little. "Sorry girls. I'm not used to holding anything more than a bunny or two." Fluttershy says meekly.Twilight watches as Applejack makes her way down the Slope, jumping on rocks. "Pinkie and Rarity were saved, whoosh... Me and Fluttershy loop-de-loop around and WHAM! Caught you right in the nick of time." Rainbow boasts of her acomplishments. Twilight sighs"Yes, Rainbow, I was there, and I'm very grateful, but we gotta— [gasp] A manticore!" "We've gotta get past him!"the manticore swips to rarity.She launches a mean karate kick."Take that, you ruffian!" The angry manticore roars deep, ruining rarity's hair. "Wait." Fluttershy begins slowly. "YEE-HAW! Git along, little dogie." Applejack is riding the maticore like a horse. The manticore shakes applejack off.Applejack sails in the air. "Whoa! All yours, partner." Rainbow salutes"I'm on it." "Wait!" Rainbow flys in a circle.The manticore smacks her away with his scorpion tail. "Rainbow!" Twilight yells.This fuels all the ponies, who look ready for a fight " WAIT!" Fluttershy screams, grabbing everyones attention. "Shhh... It's okay. Oh, you poor, poor little baby." "Little?" Rainbow is confused. " Now this might hurt for just a second." The manticore roars again. The ponies fear for fluttershy's safety. "Aw you're just a little ol' baby kitty, aren't you? Yes you are, yes you are." The manticore licks fluttershy's mane. "How did you know about the thorn?" Twillight asks. " I didn't. Sometimes we all just need to be shown a little kindness." " No. My eyes need a rest from all this icky muck." The air quality decreases, and the sky turns brown"Well, I didn't mean that literally." " That ancient ruin could be right in front of our faces and we wouldn't even know it." Rarity bumps into twilight. "I didn't see you there, my apologies." "Oh wait, I think I stepped in somethin'."She stops to inspect her hooves. Fluttershy screams. "It's just mud." Then she turns to a tree.The tree has a ugly and frightening face.She shouts in suprise. As the ponies are screaming in fear, with fluthershy's being the loudest,Pinkie pie is laughing at the funny faces, and making them back. "Pinkie, what are you doing?! Run!" Twilight tells her. "Oh you guys, don't you see?" (Author's note: To be a good writer,I decided to inlude the link to the song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVfzvS0FbR8) [Pinkie Pie] When I was a little filly and the sun was going down... Pomni:Tell me she's not... [Pinkie Pie] The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frown... Rarity: She is. [Pinkie Pie] I'd hide under my pillow From what I thought I saw But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way To deal with fears at all Rainbow Dash: Then what is? [Pinkie Pie] She said, "Pinkie, you gotta stand up tall Learn to face your fears You'll see that they can't hurt you Just laugh to make them disappear." Ha! Ha! Ha! Ponies: [gasp] [Pinkie Pie] So, giggle at the ghostly Guffaw at the grossly Crack up at the creepy Whoop it up with the weepy Chortle at the kooky Snortle at the spooky And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... hahahaha... heh... Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuugh!
