Heart Souls: The Loss of Harmony

Pop POP!

Confettis and stringers flew from the court as the vanguards entered the court and were met by a surprise party, hosted by Pinkie Pie herself!

"Congratulations, TEAAAM VANGUARD!" The pink menace popped out of nowhere from the sky.

" Evasive maneuvers! Shes on to us!" Bright yelled in a panic.

Bubbles would try to unsheathe her blade, but she ended up just drawing a balloon shaped like a sword.

" What in—"

"Nope! Can't say that in front of the audience! And no need for pointy stuff here in a party! Unless we're doing the pop the pinatas! Ooh, that's fun!"

Apple would be hiding underneath the table, but no one is safe when it comes to her. " Psst... What are we hiding from?"

She'd look at the face of a pony, grinning with a malicious plan in mind with her. "Uuhmm..."

POOF!

A small explosion erupted under the table, and there came out a struggling pony wearing a clown suit, Apple. " Apple, NOO!!!" Treasure cried as she remained unconscious on his lap. " PINKIEEEE!!!!"

" That's me!" She then shoved some party favors on his mouth.
" TOOOOOOOOTTTTHHHH...."

Meanwhile, Bluebell was enjoying everything happening around her. "Oh, ohp
! Mmemememe me!"

Smack!

A pie lands on her face, and she laughs wildly. " Can you teach me how to do that! Please, please, please?"

" How can I say no to that? Since you have your studies with Starlight Glimmer, you should visit one of my classes!" Then she approached her and whispered through her ears. " And if yer real serious about it, I'll teach ya everything." She then winked at her, which in return made the unicorn ecstatic. " YIII!"

Meanwhile, the others are still panicing.

Diamond Tiara was taken aback by their reaction to Pinkie Pie; she had not expected such a response from them. "Okay everyone! Everyone! Uhm! Co-CONGRATULATIONS!"

Finally, the chaos died down, and all attention was to her.

"Ahm, our introduction to the world was a SUCCESS thanks to our new team, THE VANGUARDS!"

Tiara and the staff began applauding the Royal Knights in appreciation for the project's accomplishment.

" Usually a review of the performance of this project would take weeks, but seeing how quick and effective our project was, we got a go signal from the higher-ups and gave the budget already! So for today, I think we deserve a celebration!"

Everyone celebrated and partied that day. Although the knights, with the exception of Bluebell, were uncomfortable around Pinkie, they were still able to enjoy the celebration.

As the party continued, Tiara approached the team to personally thank them again.

She sat at their table and congratulated them. " This project of mine wouldn't make it without you ponys! So once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart." She gave a cheer to them.

" Oh, Teacher, you didn't have too. I'm always happy helping you out in anyway, and besides! This is all your hard work!" Bubbles simped.

" I can't take all the credit, Bubbles!" She giggled.

Meanwhile, Bright stared at her doubtfully.
" Why're you looking at me like that?" She kicked Bright secretly under the table. "Uff!... Nothing... You just got something on your cheeks," then he stole a kiss on her cheeks as a form of revenge.

" Hey!" she flustered, "not in front of the teacher..."

She'd just laugh at the two couples.

" So Boss, I can call ya boss, right?" Treasure asked Tiara.

"Sure, I guess?"

"So we're workin tomorrow, right?"

" Yes, that is if there's any available work, that is, but don't worry! Work or no work, you will be paid! As it is my duty to give you one, and it would be my fault to not provide you one," she assured him.

" Yeyeyeah, so like, is it alright if I pick my kind of work perhaps?" he asked.

" Well, that's going to lead to some problems as the work least favoured would pile up, and besides, why be like that? You know that you're one with the high remarks by our customers, right?" She questioned.

Gulp. " That's what I'm afraid off..."

Tiara would then focus on Bluebell. " And you! Miss Magician, are quite famous with the foals! Sky rocketing our name to the young ones! That was great work, protecting and entertaining the future of Equestria!" She then shaked her hooves.

" It was nothing too it, hihihi!"

Pinkie would slide at her side and join in the conversation.

" So you're the Fiery magician! Cheese Cake is such a fan of yours! Who knew you're such a party pony. Hmm, i guess I have a competition in my, HANDS." They giggled in excitement.

" Let's just say a certain pony inspired me!"

" You know what! Let's start the lecture right now, silly pony! What do you say?"

" Would I!?" They both dashed to other tables and began entertaining the others.

"Quilt! You are perfect at the office! You. You'll put me to new heights, my friend! You are sticking with me." She rested her hooves on her shoulder.

Quilt liked the praise, that it left a bit of a blush on her cheeks. "I was only doing my job, ma'am." She then secretly gave the tongue to Bubbles, which infuriated the mare. The cup she was holding was crumpled beyond recognition.

" And Tapper, thanks for the backup! Even though what you did was just picking up litter, that in it's way gave an image to us; all may it be big or small, we get the job done!" She patted his back.

" ...i guess?"

"Crosss!..."

" Don't... Just... Don't."

"I am so sorry I couldn't give you anything to do." She then quickly bowed down to him.

" Next time, I guess..." He sighed.

" And Apple... I am really sorry! I'll explain everything to the Apple family about your condition. This was all my fault. I didn't expect things to go this bad."

" I-Its okay. They were nice ponys. I- I don't mind working with them."

She'd smile and feel relieved that Apple wasn't badly traumatized by the Apple family, seeing how meek the mare was.

" Who woulda thought a rogue Phoenix from the school caused all that fire? Turns out someone was experimenting on a potion to make their pet bird last longer, which destroyed the life cycle of the phoenix, causing it to go rogue. And with that, the Phoenix was not able to revive. A lesson the student would learn gravely." She felt sorry for the phoenix and the student who wished well for her pet but would learn a much more painful lesson instead.

" So what will the students fate be?" Bubbles asked.

" She has to go through trial first in Canterlot before she could go back to campus; that's if she's allowed to go back."

"Hmm, a pity," Bright added.

" We trust in the princess' judgment."

Everyone at the table became curious.

" Oh? May we know which princess?" Bubbles asked.

" Oh right. Differently dimension. Well, its Princess Twilight Sparkle in this world, who rules Equestria, but she's aided by the other alicorns, who also rule in this world, Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire and her daughter, Flurry Heart, who's actually one of the students in the School of Friendship. She lives on that castle, right over there." She pointed out the window,and there a shiny pointy castle can be seen.

"Well, this feels weird..." Tapper spoke. "Should we continue our original goal?"

" Of course we do! This isn't even our original world." Quilt reminded him.

This dampens everyone's mood as they know that they won't be staying here permanently.

Which gave Diamond Tiara an idea.
" Hey! Everyone!... What if we help you ponys out?"
