The Guardian
Couple Trouble, Cake and Pie
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDaniel sighed with satisfaction as he finished his first meal in 50 years, though he hadn't felt all that hungry until his eyes were seduced by the sight of a fresh cooked meal.
"Well, better get these dishes cleaned." Granny Smith said staggering to her feet as Daniel stood up quicker, shaking his head.
"No, I'll do it. Mac, could you help me out please?" he said to the tall blonde, wood chips still in his hair as he nodded and stood, picking up the dishes with Daniel as they started their washing. Allison smiled as she and Abigail helped up Granny Smith, walking her to her rocking chair as she sighed, slowly falling asleep.
Daniel and Mac finished the dishes not too long after, the work easy with two people working. Mac sighed and cracked his neck and back, groaning at the wall he had to finish. "Uh... Hey, Daniel?"
Daniel looked at him and smiled, "Just call me Danny, everyone else apparently does now."
Mac nodded, "Right. Danny, could y'all lend a helpin' hand 'n help me fix the wall?" he said almost pleadingly.
"Hmm..." Daniel said as he pondered his and smiled. He was about to give his reply until Allison walked through barking at her brother, "Macintosh! What in tarnation're y'all doin'?! Askin' a guest to help you with your stupid mistake?" Mac tensed up and looked to Daniel with an expression that screamed 'Help me!'.
Taking the hint, Daniel smiled at Allison, "Uh, actually, I want to help it is a pain to fix a wall all by his lonesome."
She held a hand out in his face, "Not happenin' Sugarcube. He's doin' it by himself, an' that's final." Daniel blushed, 'Sugarcube?' he thought as Mac sighed and stood up, walking into the hall with a toolbox, starting back up on the wall he rammed through.
Allison looked up at Daniel and smiled gently, "Now Sugarcube," 'What's with this 'Sugarcube' thing?' he thought as she continued to speak, "Ah' know y'all like helpin' people, but believe me, ya've done more than enough fer' this family. All of us appreciate it." she hugged him tight around his neck as he blushed darker, and also had trouble breathing.
"Applejack... I can't breath..." He said trying to speak through the pain she was accidentally inflicting as she stopped and let go of him.
"Oh mah' stars! Ah'm sorry Sugarcube, didn't mean ta' crush ya. Guess Ah' just don't know mah' own strength." She blushed and smiled nervously, scratching the back of her head.
He gasped for air and chuckled weakly, "Its okay... I don't think... Strength had anything... To do with it..." he said holding his throat, happy to feel oxygen in his lungs again.
She giggled and nodded, "Yeah... Sorry. Say, wanna go 'round town with me? Ya know, a tour kinda? I can introduce y'all ta' mah' friends." she said, perking up quick. He smiled and nodded, "Sure, sounds fun."
She walked out the door and looked back at Mac, "Mac! Y'all're watchin' Abigail 'till we get back!" he groaned and looked back at her, "Yeah yeah, Ah' know!" he yelled back as the duo walked out the door.
Daniel walked towards his car and was about to get in until Allison stopped him, "Sugarcube, Ah' think walkin' is a better idea. We were lucky ta' get through the town the first time. Ya might be able ta' tell, but the town ain't really built fer' cars." He thought back to when they were driving to the farm, the only clear road being the dirt trail to the gate.
He closed the car door and walked up to her, both of them smiling as they walked through the fence and closed it behind them, walking down and into the town.
~In Ponyville~
Daniel and Allison walked through the town, people of all kinds and color waved and talked to them. From far away they saw a pale girl with large golden eyes, white and aquamarine hair, and wearing a t-shirt with a small harp on the chest along with a pair of lime green pants tight on her hips and legs.
She was arguing with a lightly tanned girl with big baby blue eyes, pink and blue hair, wearing a pink tank top showing off her stomach, 3 blue and yellow candies on the chest along with a pair of blue skin-tight jeans hugging her lower half.
Daniel pointed them out as he and Allison ran over to see what was up, hearing their argument, "Lyara Amelia Heartstrings, I'm telling you that you're crazy if you think you're right!" said the candy girl, poking the others chest to emphasize her point.
"I can do that too Bonny Brianne Brooks!" she yelled poking the other's chest back, "And I know I'm right! They do exist, and someday I'll prove it!" she yelled angrily.
Allison walked up to them first, Daniel close behind, "Lyra, Bon Bon, what're y'all fussin' over?" she said stopping their bickering as they paid attention to her, Bon Bon speaking first.
"Allison, please tell Lyra that she is the insane!" she yelled pointing at her counterpart who just gasped angrily as Lyra yelled to her..
"AJ, please tell Bon Bon that talking ponies do exist!" she yelled angrily as Allison sighed, mumbling under her breath, "The same ol' foolishness..."
She looked at the two, "Look Lyra, here's the thing 'bout ponies talkin'. First of all, they can't. Second, How're y'all gonna prove it? By lookin' fer' a way ta' turn ya'self inta' one?" Lyra looked a little sad that she'd been proven wrong and looked to the ground blushing, "Well... I..."
Allison then turned her attention to the candy girl, "And Bon Bon, y'all're a candy-maker, can't ya be sweet ta' yer' girlfriend? Let 'er believe what she wants, let 'er have an imagination."
Bon Bon blushed and nodded, grabbing Lyra's hand and facing her, lifting the shorter girls chin so she faced her, "I'm sorry Ly, I didn't mean to upset you... Its just... You talk about those damn 'talking ponies' more than you spend time with me..."
Lyra looked at her sadly and placed a dainty hand on her cheek, looking at her and kissing her sweetly, tears flowing down both their cheeks as they pulled apart, "I'm so sorry Bon Bon... I just... I've been fascinated about them all my life and... I'm so sorry..." she said with a sorrowful voice as she they hugged and kissed again.
Allison smiled at the scene, happy that they were able to make up, while Daniel blushed and smiled nervously, staring at the duo's kissing session. Allison saw this and tapped his arm, gesturing that they should leave the happy couple alone. And so, they walked away.
As soon as he thought they were far away, Daniel tapped the cowgirl's shoulder, "That argument's happened before?" he said in bewilderment as Allison nodded, "Yup, at least one or two times a week, but it used to be a lot worse." He couldn't believe what he was hearing. 'Having the same stupid argument over something like that?'
He sighed and shook his head as they walked. A few minutes later, she stopped moving, making him stop as well as they were in front of what looked like a giant gingerbread house covered in candy. "Whoa... What is this place?" he said amazed at the sugary structure.
"This here is our first stop, Sugarcube Corners. This is where mah' friend Pinkamiena lives and works for Mr. And Mrs. Cake. She's a little... Well... Different, but she always means well." He nodded in understanding, since his friend Michael was the craziest person he'd ever known, but he was still happy to have known him.
They walked in through the saloon like doors and to the counter, where they were greeted by a tall, tan, redheaded man with a little bit of stubble on his face. He had a little muscle toning to him as well, but aside from that he was a toothpick. He wore a white apron on top of a white t-shirt, blue jeans on his lower half and a small ice-cream man hat on top if his redish hair.
"Well hey there Applejack, here for another order of cupcakes?" he said with a speedy yet kind voice, a twice of nerdy in there somewhere.
Allison just chuckled ay him, "Nope, just showin' Daniel 'round and thought Pinkie'd be the first person to meet." The man smiled and nodded, facing Daniel and holding a hand out, "Oh, hello there. I'm Carl Callen, but everyone calls me 'Carrot Cake', cause of my business and all. I'm one of the proud owners of Sugarcube Corners."
Daniel looked confusedly and shook his hand. For someone so scrawny, he had a pretty strong grip, "There's another?"
Carrot nodded, "Yup, my lovely wife Clara Callen, but to everyone else, she's 'Cup Cake'." Just then, there was the sound of a door opening behind him and out came a light skinned woman, her hair was pink and swirled as if it was cake frosting. She wore a white apron over a yellow dress, her breasts big enough that her nipples almost showed through her top. The dress was average length, reaching a little below her knees, and she looked a little on the chubby side.
"Oh, hello there! I heard my name and just thought I'd pop in to see what was going on." she said with a cheery tone and and accent that Daniel just couldn't place. He tried his best to look at her cotton candy pink eyes, but they just continued to go straight at her chest.
Applejack saw this and sighed, smacking the back of his head to wake him up from his drooling trance, "Ow! What did you do that for?" Daniel yelled half in anger and half in pain. Applejack just crossed her arms and sighed, "Ya were starin' at her chest like they were a couple'a diamonds!"
Daniel blushed darkly and looked away from Mrs. Cake, "I'm sorry..." all he heard was a fit of giggles as he turned his sight back to her, "Oh, its alright. Boys will be boys, right? Every man that walks through those doors wants to see them. Even that sweet Lyra girl wanted to touch them." She giggled as Daniel and Allison both stared at her confused and dumbstruck.
"Why, the first time Carl met me, all he wanted to do was squeeze and play with them. It was adorable how flustered he'd get just looking at them." This made Daniel and Allison chuckle as Mr. Cake just looked for a way to change the subject.
"Uh... You wanted to see Pinkie right? Let me go get her." he said zipping away and up the stairs as the trio laughed at his expense. A few minutes later, they heard the sound if fast footsteps and then a loud thud, meaning someone either fell on the floor, or someone jumped off the stairs.
Turning around, they saw a short, lightly tan skinned girl with pink, puffy hair and big blue eyes. She wore a tight pink tank-top with three balloons, two blue and one yellow in between, that showed her belly button easily. Above that was a blue jacket that covered her arms and reached her semi-wide hips. She also had light blue, tight jeans on her lower half with pink and blue side-striped boots on her feet.
Daniel didn't know why, but the moment she came down the stairs, he couldn't help but smile at her. She was cute and had a smile miles wide as she hopped over to the duo. Daniel stared at her as she landed right in front of him, looking up at him since he was at least a foot taller and smiled bigger, if possible, as she spoke.
"Hi, I'm Pinkamiena Diana Pizansa, but you can call me Pinkie Pie, everyone else in town does anyway! So, what's your name? Are you new here? Are you an alien? No, wait, then you'd be green with antennas and be all like, 'Take me to your leader Earthlings!' and you're not doing that so you can't possibly be an alien, so who are yo--"
She was silenced as Allison covered her mouth with her hand, bringing Pinkie's attention to her as she smiled, "Applejack!" she yelled happily, hugging her friend to the floor as Daniel just stood their, his eyes bugging out as he tried to comprehend what she had been saying until Allison stood up and pat his head once, bringing him back to reality, "Huh? What the-- Oh, hey Allison, when'd you get here?" She chuckles as she looked at Pinkie, "Well, looks like you broke him."
Pinkie giggled, "Oopsies!" Allison shook her head and smiled at Daniel, "This here is Pinkie. As y'all can already tell, she's a lil' on the eccentric side. She loves meeyin' new people, she just takes it a lil' too far at first." Pinkie waved at Daniel as he smiled, the pink gem on his necklace glowing.
They all stared at it oddly as it stopped as soon as it started, the gem now a brighter, more colorful pink. Pinkie gasped, "Wow! Its so pretty! Where'd you get it?!" Daniel tried to answer, but couldn't find the right words so he didn't sound like a total basket case.
'Oh great! What am I supposed to tell them?!' he panicked as Pinkie started talking.
"You got it from a mysterious hooded girl 50 years ago along with the rings on your body and thinking it was just a dream went to school, but then was met by the same exact girl in your science class that made you go into a coma for the last 50 years and then you woke up inside of a capsule and wandered around, finding your parents in a barrack in a parking garage not to far from the hospital you woke up in, taking the swords they had and leaving then waking up the next day to find a way to leave but also finding Abigail in said parking garage, saving her and driving.away in an army vehicle, a few hours later finding Trixie and Zecora in the Everfree forest, finding out what happened to the world and falling asleep for the night. Afterwards, you were waking up and Trixie walked off by herself thinking she was still at home and were attacked by timberwolves, rescuing Trixie but also getting the bite wound from the dogs at the parking garage re-opened by a timberwolf bite along with the venom from said timberwolf as Trixie picked you up and carried you here to the hospital and getting you help. After, Zecora and Abigail came running in and saw you hurt in bed and when you woke up they hugged you, Trixie kissed you as a thank you and stayed with you all night. That night you asked her to sing to you and when she did, healed your arm completely and fell asleep next to you. When you woke up the next morning, she was right next to you in bed, talking in her sleep and almost kissing you had Zecora and Abigail bursted in unexpectedly, making Trixie fall out of the bed and you tense up. Then you met Applejack, Sam and Selena, got dressed and left going to Applejack's house, where you were almost run over by Big Macintosh because of a misunderstanding and then had breakfast with her family. Afterward Applejack wanted to show you around and you thought it was a good idea and followed her into town. While you were looking around you saw Bon-Bon and Lyra arguing, broke it up and Applejack fixed it as you came here, met Mr. and Mrs. Cake and then met me, right Mr. CloudCrusher?"
That's right Pinki-- Hey! No fourth wall breaking! "Oopsies, sorry!"
Whatever... Anyways, Allison and Daniel were amazed, their mouths and eyes opened wide in shock. Daniel struggled to speak, "H-how did you..." Pinkie pulled a script with the words, 'The Moon's Guardian' on the front, "Its in the script!" Dammit Pinkie! "Oops, right, no fourth wall, sorry Mr. CloudCrusher!"
Its fine Pinkie... That's one of the reasons your one of my favorites... "Yay!"
