How the 6 got their pets!by XXmancyXXChaptersWinona's First WoofHop! Hop! It's an angel!Gummy's endless GapeOpal's new motherWinona's First Woof"Applejack! Time to eat breakfas'!" Granny Smith knocked on the workhorse's bedroom door. The latter opened her door groggily. "W-What's ...." "What's for breakfas'? WELL! Of course apple fritters, ya'll favorite!" the aging mare jumped about, despite her old age and shaky bones. Applejack dilated her eyes. "Oh, no, Granny Smith! Ah don't like apple fri'ers no more! 's there any more apple pie?" The pale green mare stopped her jumps. "W-WHAAAAAAAAAT???????????!!!!!!!!!!!" "W- Ah'm sorry, Granny Smith! Ah-ah promise ah'll eat 'em!" "YOU TOLD ME TA MAKE APPLE FRITTERS AND THIS IS THE THANKS AH GET FROM MAH OWN GRANDDAUGHTER?!!!" Granny Smith screamed in Applejack's face. The latter whimpered. Ah'm sorry, G-granny...." her ears drooped and her hat fell. Granny's huffs and sickening glare softened. "Well, Applejack. That's good ta know." And with that sinking in, she trotted off, in her own happy-go-lucky mood again."Whew." The freckled mare trotted down the stairs, with one hoof on her beloved hat. When Big Mac and his youngest sister saw her, they began to snicker, which turned into coughs and hacks. If Applejack noticed that, she paid no heed and sat down on the only vacant seat. Just then, Applebloom turned to her big sister. "Freckles, did ya hear 'bout ar new pet? It's sooooooo excitin'! Right, brother?" "Eeyup." the big stallion said. The farmpony widened her eyes. "Y-ya'll mean...a pet for ourselves...?" Granny Smith chuckled. "Ooof course, my cheese apple(Applebloom stifled a gag)! Ah mean, ya're responsible enough to take care of a puppy!" she winked at the shocked orange mare. Wild thoughts raced throught Applejack's mind. She was getting a pet of her own. "Here's five hundred bits, darling. Now get 'em!" Applejack clapped her hooves together, took the ruck sack by her mouth, and trotted down Apple Street. As she trotted to the famous petshop, the pony always squealed whenever she saw the silhouette of a dog in the windows of shopping malls. Finally, she stopped at a big building with black bones plastered all over it. "Dog Market." Applejack whispered to herself. She mustered enought courage to open the front door. The bell on the door rang and made a beautiful chime sound. As the door opened, the farmpony found herself face to face with a light yellow mare with a blue mane of the same paleness. She smiled widely and greeted Applejack. "Welcome to the dog market! Technically, it's not really a market, but you get the idea. There are so many puppies of all breeds here!" AJ looked all around her in awe. "They...are just...SO CUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!" Applejack made the most high-pitched fangirl squeal ever. The shop owner stared at her with an "O" shaped mouth, then started to collect herself. "Well....OH! This might be the one! A beagle with unusual markings! Or this Dalmation! The spots are unusually black and thick! Very nice! Those are the bestsellers in our petshop!" Despite the yellow mare's recommendations, the orange mare pointed to a tiny puppy(in dog terms, not general) that had a ruffled up coat, with pointed ears, and with brown patches all over it. Her heart melted at the very sight. "May ah have this cutie-wootie thing here? And how much does it cost?" The owner tapped her chin, muttered something, and then replied,"A hundred and fifty-seven bits." She looked unsure. "Do you have the money to pay for it?" The apple-bucking mare laughed, then said," Ah've got more than enough! Here, the bits." she handed over the exact amount. The owner put it in the cash register box, then unlocked the glass cage the puppy was in and put it in a proper metal cage."She is a female, by the way. Have a happy day!" Applejack sinked into a bow, and galloped off to the Apples' farm. "Howdy, fellas! Woo! Ah'm super energetic today! YEEEE-HAAAW!! What should we name it?!" The rest of the main family members looked confused, then giggled and had a look on each of their faces which clearly meant,"Oooooohhhhh...THAT thing.." After that silence, Applebloom shouted out a name," Windypatch!" "Marsh Vanilla!" "Chocolate Bark!" "WINONA!" Everypony's attention turned to the Element of Harmony, then nodded approvingly. "Winona...nice, sis!" "Well, no beh'er name than tha'!" "Eeyup!" "YAY FOR WINONA!" the family exclaimed. Each of them slapped hooves with each other, though the ponies had to tip-hoof to reach Big Mac, especially Applebloom, the poor filly. After the mini-celebration, they let the puzzled puppy out for some fresh air and space. Applejack bent down, snout to snout with the new pup, and whispered, smiling,"Welcome to your new family." Winona woofed happily and licked the farmpony with her pink tongue. Hop! Hop! It's an angel!Fluttershy awoke from her sleep, in a cute position. She got up, trotted to her stainless glass mirror, and gasped at how messy her pink mane looked. After staring at it with a scared expression on her face, the shy pegasus began to giggle softly. "Oh, how silly I look! Oops! Am I too loud? I-I didn't want to wake the animals! They are delicate creatures, I mustn't hurt them or anything of the sort...Oops! I promised myself that murmuring to myself isn't so good, it shows signs of nervousness! Oh, is that a word? I never used anything like that before! Oh no! I must stop talking to my stupid, idiotic self..hhhh...." the panicked pegasus sighed in frustration. She couldn't get anything, save for feeding the animals, right.This habit was a blunder itself in her life. She sighed once more, and said to herself," Now it is their breakfast time. I must wake them up, but gently." Slowly, she fluttered to her snoring animals, and tapped them lightly each on the shoulder."Wake up now! Oh, I'm sorry, Mother Bear, I always forget...sorry. Hhhhh.....I want a gentle, harmless animal, like a bunny..." Fluttershy perked up. "That's right! A bunny! Why didn't I think of that before! Oh, their feed!" She poured some green stalks of cucumbers on their respective bowls and went to collect her bits."Let's see....Twilight and Rarity both said that bunnies in the store usually costs two hundred bits...I have one thousand, seven hundred and eighty-four bits altogether, I'll just bring along three hundred, just in case! Alright, I'm all set! Oh, my bag!" The yellow mare grabbed a brown bag with a butterfly jewel encrusted on it. She looked at it and opened her front door quietly. "Oh! I've found the pet shop! All by myself! Oh my gosh, I have never done that before!" Fluttershy squealed. As she went inside, she was greeted by a charming aquamarine stallion with a shiny brown mane and tail. She blushed as he kissed her left hoof. When he lef to continue doing his work, Fluttershy spotted a pure white bunny with an annoyed expression that made it look cuter. When the pegasus paid the cashier(a mare), she skipped all the way to her cottage while holding a basket that resembles a market's. When the Element of Harmony placed the basket on the coffee table, her other animal friends gathered around her, their food bowls empty. The animal-lover giggled. "You'll see!" She took off the blue tarp that was covering the new animal's basket and in there lay a rabbit with soft, fluffy fur and sparkling black eyes. The animals closed in even more to take a good look. After a few moments, the shy pegasus asked,"What should we name it? It has to be a nice one, the bunny looks like an angel! Angel...angel...Angel! Its name is going to be Angel!" Hisses,grunts,buzzing and chirps could be heard throughout the whole house. Fluttershy clapped her hooves. Angel! What a lovely name for a new pet bunny! Gummy's endless Gape"I am hiiiiiiighhh!!!!! Hey, Mr and Mrsssss Cake!! How high are you?! No, I meant 'Hi, how are you?', GET IT?!!!!! AHHHHHAAHAHAHHA!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!" Pinkie Pie jumped around the inside of her room in the bakery/confectionary store while holding two Mr and Mrs Cake dolls. She squashed them together, making them kiss. The still laughing pony laughed even louder until she had to let go of the dolls to clutch her stomach, which was aching. Cause? Laughter. Suddenly...."PINKIE PIE!!! COME DOWN RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" a voice boomed from the main room, where everypony could see ouside the glass windows. As the energetic mare jumped down a whole flight of stairs(well, she is Pinkie!), Mrs Cake was standing on the floor, frowning at their main baker. "Where have you been? Your friends are here, waiting for you to come down and have breakfast with them!" And sure enough, Applejack, Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Twilight were already there, smiling at her. "HEY GUYS!!" Pinkie enveloped all of her five friends into a tight hug, which soon made them out of breath. Finally, she put them down, to the ponies' relief. "Why are you all here? Breakfast meeting does not start 'till six forty-five in the morning!" Rainbow Dash and Applejack stuttered, Fluttershy kept silent and Rarity gave her a bemused look. Twilight, however, got straight to the point and said,"Pinkie, we were just thinking about getting you a pet. You know, to entertain you? And you forgot today is your birthday, and we didn't know which animal you like, seeing as...you love...many....?" The blossom mare stared at her, then gave the widest, toothiest grin ever to be seen in Equestria. She hugged them once more, then screamed(yes,SCREAMED),"BEST GIFT EVAAAAAR!!!!! THANKS YOU FRIENNNNNNNNDSSSS!!!" She knocked them down and hopped everywhere at supersonic speed, then abruptly stopped. "Llllllet's gooooooo!!!!!" Her voice trailed away as she opened the front door and galloped out at a speed only a thousand Rainbow Dashes could have done. The others, save for RD, were stunned at such agility. The cyan mare called out,"Nice! I have to train more!" Bending her wings, she darted off to keep up with Pinkie. The remaining four didn't run after them. Instead, Twilight willed them to teleport while thinking,"Pinkie." They vanished from sight in a flash and appeared by the hyper pony's side. The pink mare stopped when she realised her friends. "Well, you appeared out of nowhere! Don't scare me, guys!" They panted and led Pinkie to the petshop before she ran away. "Well, this is it, Pinkie. You were going in the wrong direction!" Pinkie chuckled at her mistake and ran into the shop. Inside there were hundreds and hundreds of animals, all of different types. All attracted Pinkie. But none was more attractive than a small green alligator with big purple eyes. It stared into nothingness. The party pony squealed. She tapped Twilight on her head and pointed excited;y to her soon-to-be pet. The lavender mare widened her pupils, then trotted to the counter, looking back at her friend strangely. The shop owner unlocked the cage and was going to put the alligator in a bag when the party maniac seized it from his hoofs. "Heh heh...." she chuckled nervously as the stallion frowned at her disapprovingly. "YAAAAAAAAAAAYY!!!! I GOT A NEW PET, I GOT A NEW PET, EVERYONE CELEBRATE I GOOOOOT AAAAA NEWWWWWW PEEEEEEETT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Pinkie Pie sang, or rather, screamed, loudly. Her ears perked up. "That's it!!! A party!" As she ran to Sugarcube Corner to prepare for her 'I got a new pet!' party, Rarity blocked her way with her hoof. Pinkie came to a screeching halt, then cried out," Hey!" The unicorn paid her no heed as her horn lit up, her eyes closed. The other five couldn't see what she was doing, but they knew it had to do with the party. After a few minutes, the marshmallow pony opened her eyes, magic vapor fading away. Suddenly, she exclaimed," Let's go to the party, dears!" When they went inside the sweetshop, the ponies, save for Rarity, gasped in amazement. The latter beamed proudly at her work. Pinkie hugged Rarity, then carried her pet to the dance studio. Suddenly, her lower jaw dropped. "A name! I like gummy candies! That's it! Gummy!" Her friends looked at her awkwardly, then laughed. She was just being Pinkie! Opal's new mother"Careful, Sweetie Belle!" Rarity cried, dashing to her little sister's side. The filly unicornscratched her head, smiling nervously at her elder sister. "Heh heh. That wasn't me! That was,uh...my hoof!" With that lame excuse, she galloped away so fast, her short curly mane was flying everywhere. The marshmallow pony sighed and shook her head. That Sweetie Bell, always getting into trouble! And getting away with it....The fashionista levitated all the rolls of fabric and gems in their correct positions with her horn. The light blue vapor fading away from it, the elegant mare trotted up the stairs. "Oh, careful, Sweetie Belle,darling! I think you should let me do the cooking now." "But Ma....." "No 'but Ma' anymore. I am your mother, you're better off doing what I say!" Rarity heard their mother instruct her sister firmly. Deciding to end this, the seamstress waltzed into the dining room, which of course caught her parents' attention. The former was surprised when the latter hurried up to her, smiling. "We've decided about getting ourselves a pet. But of course, it will be mostly your responsibilty to tend to it whenever. Deal?" Rarity just nodded; she was too astonished to speak at all. "A CAT!!!" she screamed out so un-lady-likely. The mare covered her muzzle with her hooves, blushing furiously as her family stared. "A kitty? That's soooo boooring,sis." "Why don't you try making a sugge-" "YAY!!! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER(what?) PET SUGGESTER!!!! TIGERS!!!" the filly screamed at the top of her lungs. Her elder sister covered her poor ears. Suddenly, the car jolted and stopped. "We're here, my little ponies. The five-star cat petshop." Father said calmly. As the family hopped down the ferrari one by one, each went into the petshop, eager to see what was inside. "Wow...OHMIGOSH A CUTE CAT!!!!" the purple-maned mare squealed out loudly. Once again, she blushed as the other customers stared at her strangely. The former beckoned to her dad quietly and pointed to a medium-sized cat with a cute pink nose, light purple...mascara(Again,what?),snow white fur and a tuft of fur poking out from the cat's scalp. Her dad nodded. "Let's purchase it." The family burst through the boutique's front door, feeling very excited. However, no one was more excited than the Element of Harmony. Immediately she strapped a pale dark purple collar with blue gemstones and a huge flower on it on her pet's neck. She tied a matching bow without the jewels and flower on the tuft of fur, making it stand up beautifully on the head. Alas, her new pet was free to roam about her new home. "What should we name it?" Rarity asked. The others shrugged. The latter sighed and looked out of the window. It had began to rain, and somehow the dark cloud seem to form the shape of an opal. An idea popped in her head. She wasn't going to name it Opal, though. That would be boring. Instead.."Opalescence!"
