Our Inner Ponies 3: A New Villain

The character Lucky is portraying my good friend LuckyBlitz. Hope you enjoy it Lucky! ~NYQUTIE

"So we have to find this careless villain and put a stop to his or her evil plans. Can we all do that?" Twilight clarified, resulting in all of us to nod. "Good. As long as we stay together and not get distracted, we'll be fine."

"Got it. Absolutely no distract—hey, who's that?" Of course Pinkie was the first to break the No Distractions rule. A cloud of pink smoke replaced where she had been recently standing, and a moment later she rushed back, bouncing up and down on her hooves and pointing straight ahead.

"A new pony! There's a new pony down the road right now! See him? See him?" she screamed excitedly, skipping around all of us in a joyful circle.

"Yeah, too bad they chose the wrong time to come here," Rainbow mumbled, not so soft I may as well add. I had to agree with her. Me, Maya, and the Mane Six (plus Spike, since we had made a quick stop to the library) were on our way to kick some villain butt, and now some new pony was going to get in the way of it. How ironic can life get?

"Maybe he could be helpful," Twilight said, making her way toward a blurry blob, who was now a few meters away from us. Rainbow stopped her by grabbing her purple tail and tugging her backwards.

"Are you insane?" she screamed in Twilight's face. "We can't just go up to some random pony and be like, 'Hey new guy! You look like a person who could help us defeat some unknown being that's torturing Ponyville!'" I would recommend the person to a mental hospital if they ever came up to me and asked me that.

"Rainbow's right," Applejack spoke up. "We don't have time for a welcomin' committee. We need to focus on our real task."

"Aww," Pinkie whined, her lips sagging into a frown. "No Welcome to Ponyville Party? I could throw one real quick with my Party Cannon!"

"What welcoming party?" I swear my scream was the loudest out of the eight when we heard a male's voice ask what we were talking about. I didn't realize I was hiding behind Fluttershy—Fluttershy!—when I had screamed, but when I moved my face away from her light pink hair, my jaw practically smashed into the ground.

Wearing a confused look was a red-coated alicorn with highlight yellow hair in a similar style to Rainbow Dash's front bangs. His eyes were a nice shade of ice blue, and up close I noticed that his hair also had red highlights on his bangs. For a horse, he was kind of cute, but I knew I'd need to see a physiatrist if I was going to have a crush on a freakin' horse.

"Wow," Twilight breathed, her eyes scanning the alicorn up and down. "It's not everyday you see an alicorn walking down the streets of Ponyville."

"Oh don't you worry Twilight. Next time there'll be a purple alicorn walking down the streets," Maya assured the unicorn, and I had no idea if she was talking about the show or if she was going crazy.

"You'd be surprised," the alicorn responded. "Where I'm from, I'm the only alicorn in town. Fillies and colts all want to hang around me just because I've got wings and a horn, so I came to Ponyville to get away from all that attention."

"Well you chose the wrong time to take a vacation," I stated, moving from behind Fluttershy to stare at the alicorn. I almost jumped back when his pupils shrunk and his horn lit up but fizzled out immediately. This time I did jump back when he stuck his hoof at me and smiled.

"Hi, I'm Lucky, LuckyBlitz. My friends just call me Lucky. Gosh, it's really nice to meet you," he blurted out. I meekly shook his hoof and turned toward the girls. What just happened?

"Nopony told you two?" Spike asked. "You and Maya are technically famous all over Ponyville! After you defeated Discord, you guys are basically gods. Everypony wants to be brave like you." So that's why nopony—no one!—was scared to see two human girls walking around Canterlot. They weren't scared of us because we were their heroes.

"I know all about you," Lucky went on, still staring at me. "It was amazing how you just defeated Discord like Bam!" Maya cleared her throat.

"Uh, hello? Other girl who risked her life saving two planets is right here," she said, waving both her hands. Lucky frowned.

"I heard you went all psycho and nearly killed somepony." I caught my laugh fast, but Maya still elbowed me in the ribs.

"Oh please, give her a break," Rarity said. "If it weren't for her going all psycho, we never would've escaped and found Discord."

"Yeah, and if it weren't for her going all psycho, I never would've had to tend to all those scratches she put on me," Rainbow joked, winking at Maya. My friend just buried her face in her hands while Pinkie patted her back understandingly.

"Anyhow, what party?" Lucky asked, getting back to the topic he'd overheard. Pinkie opened her mouth to say something, but I stopped her.

"Look, there's no party and we're all really busy with something," I explained. "So if you could do me a favor and get out of our way—"

"Why? Where are you guys going?" Rude much? I thought in frustration.

"Well, um, it's actually really private, um...yeah. So, can we all go now?" Fluttershy sputtered. Lucky gave her a long look before shrugging.

"Oh well. Guess that means I'll have to tag along." My eyes widened.

"No!" I screamed. "You're not joining us no matter what!" Lucky gave me a challenging look before using his magic to lift me in the air. Even if I was just ten inches from the ground, I was still stabbing the laws of physics right in the heart.

"Hey! Put her down!" Maya demanded, and Lucky switched from levitating me to levitating my friend. "Seriously?" she asked when she was surrounded by a light red bubble. Argh, boys can be so challenging, I thought grimly before finally agreeing that Lucky could come with us. I got a few disagreements from the others, but if I didn't say yes, I'd be floating in midair inside a red bubble right now.

"Alright!" Lucky cheered, using his magic to drag me near him. "It's time for an adventure, huh?" I glared at him.

"The more the merrier," I grumbled sarcastically.
