//-------------------------------------------------------// Silver Blade -by Ezio ac2- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Silver Blade //-------------------------------------------------------// Silver Blade I awoke from passing out on a bed in the infirmary to find some figures standing around the bed. As my vision clears I see the figures to be ponies and said "Why are there ponies standing here? Wait a second the ponies look familiar!" I said sounding a little worried. "What do you mean? You've always seen ponies haven't you?" replied a purple unicorn. "No." I replied to her. "But how is that possible?" said a light blue Pegasus with a rainbow colored mane. "Well I don't know." "What do you mean you don't know?" asked a yellow Pegasus. "Well, I don’t remember much. The last thing I remember is that I was not a pony, but now I am," I replied. By that time the doctor came back in and said I was free to go. When we got out of the infirmary I noticed was that I was a Pegasus and other the ponies introduced themselves. “I’m Twilight Sparkle, I run the Golden Oaks Library here in Ponyvile and these are my friends.” the purple unicorn said introducing herself. “Hey I’m Rainbow Dash, Fastest flyer in all of Equestria.” the light blue Pegasus boosted. “My name’s Rarity, it’s an honor to meet you.” the white unicorn said with elegance and grace. “I’m Fluttershy” the yellow Pegasus said timidly. “Howdy, Ah’m Applejack, I help run Sweet Apple.” The orange Earthpony said with a southern accent. “And I’m Pinkie Pie!” said the pink Earthpony with an out of control mane excitedly. “So what is your name?" Twilight asked. "Hmm, I don't know... how about Silver Blade?" "Silver Blade? I think that would be an interesting name!" Rainbow said. “So, do you have a place to stay or…” the purple unicorn asked. "No I don’t. Hey Rainbow Dash can I live with you because you seem to be a very fast Pegasus, and I can probably learn some things from you." "Sure I guess, as long as you don't get in the way of training for the Wonder Bolts!" she replied. "Wonder Bolts?" "Yeah the Wonder Bolts are the fastest and best fliers in Equestria!" Rainbow Dash said with enthusiasm. "Wow! It must be hard to be one of them." "Yeah it is hard. But I’ll get in no sweet.” she said proudly "So before we go to your house why don't you teach me how to fly?" "Sure Silver Blade." About half an hour later I got the basics of flying down and was starting to get exhausted. "Thank you Rainbow Dash for teaching me how to fly," "No problem. Well it is getting late; I think we should go to my house and get some sleep." Rainbow said looking at the sky. “Right.” "Good morning Silver Blade!" Rainbow said the next morning. "Good morning Rainbow Dash! You know maybe I should get a job..." "You know you could get the same job I have Silver Blade," she said stretching. "And what job is that?" "The Ponyville Weather Patrol," "Oh... well I'll think about it later, hey I have a random question, is there any special occasion anytime soon?" "Yeah the Princess is coming soon!" she said excitedly "Oh! The Princess is coming soon for a visit!" Meanwhile on the edge of the Everfree forest, Fluttershy was picking flowers for the arrival of Princess Celestia. "La la la la la la la la la" Fluttershy sang as a squirrel comes over to her with a dandelion "Thank you little squirrel, but remember: these flowers are for Princess Celestia. Only the prettiest ones will do" The wind blows the seeds off the dandelion and the squirrel rushes off and Fluttershy walks over to her basket of apples and hears a chirping noise and jumps behind her basket. Then a little blue ball like creature with wings appears and chirps. Fluttershy crawls over to it. "Hello little guy. I've never seen anything like you before!" The creature flies over to the apple on the ground and sniffs it "Oh, are you hungry?" Fluttershy walks over and crushes the apple with her hoof and pushes it over to the creature "Here you go," the creature flies over to the basket of apples and quickly eats every apple except the one Fluttershy crushed and Fluttershy gasps "I guess you were hungry!" the creature snuggles into Fluttershy's mane and chirps "You're the cutest thing ever! I can't wait to show you to my friends!" Meanwhile over at Twilight's house where she and spike were cleaning up. "Oh! Hurry up Spike! This place isn't gonna clean itself!" The purple Unicorn said running around. "It also didn't mess itself up." the purple and green dragon said stacking some books. "Princess Celestia will be here tomorrow!" Twilight said franticly. "I thought this was just an unofficial casual visit?" "There's nothing casual about a visit from royalty! I want this place to be spotless, and you've barely made a dent in the clutter!" she retorted. "Maybe you should, start reading them one at a time, ah!" Spike yelled falling off the ladder. "Everything's got to be perfect. No time for fooling around!" "You know, this would be an awful lot easier if there weren't two of us here getting under each other’s feet!" Spike said pushing a pile of books off of him. "Great idea! You clean; I'll go see how everyone else's preparations are coming!" "Or maybe I should..." Spike starts but is interrupted by twilight slamming the door shut. Twilight walks through the park to checks on all the preparations and finds a sign that says "Welcome Princess Celest" "What happened to the rest of her name?" Twilight asked. "We couldn't fit it all in" replied Golden Harvest. "You can't hang a banner that says 'Welcome Princess Celest'. Take it down and try again!" Twilight said as she ran off. She stops to look at the flowers a pony was watering and said "That looks perfect! Keep up the good work!" she then ran over to Sugarcube Corner. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Cake. How's the banquet coming?" "It would be coming a little better if..."  Mrs. Cake sighed and pointed over to all the half eaten deserts but then Pinkie Pie eats a giant cake in to bites. "Pinkie! What are you doing? Those sweets are supposed to be for the princess!" Twilight yelled. "I know. That's why I'm tasting them!" Pinkie Pie said nervously, "Somepony needs to make sure that everything is tasty enough," she sticks out her tongue and points at it "to touch the royal tongue!" Pinkie then moves over to the last cake in the store outside of the display case. "And I Pinkie Pie declare that these treats are fit for a king, or a queen, or a princess!" Pinkie said in a sort of royal voice and almost ate the cake, but Twilight looked at her in a look that told her to stop. At that moment Fluttershy rushed in. "Twilight, Pinkie, you won't believe... oh I'm sorry... am I interrupting?" She said timidly. "No not at all. Come on in and make yourself at home!" Pinkie then ate the cake in one huge bite. "What's going on Fluttershy?" "You won't believe what I found at the edge of the Everfree forest! Come on out little guy it's ok!" three Parasprites popped out and Fluttershy gasped "Three?" "They're amazing! What are they?" asked Twilight. "I'm not sure. I'm also not sure where these other two came from!" replied Fluttershy. "I'll take one off your hooves. I've never seen anything so," Twilight cuddles the creature, "Adorable! Besides, it'll be nice to have a companion for Spike so he won't bother me so much while I'm studying!" "Pinkie, do you want the other one?" asked Fluttershy. "UGH! A Parasprite? Are you kidding!?" replied Pinkie Pie. "ugh?" Fluttershy asked. "A Para-what?" asked Twilight. "How could you not like-" Fluttershy asked before she was cut off by Pinkie. "UGH! Now I've got to find a trombone!" "A what?" Twilight asked. "A trombone, you know" pinkie said then imitated a trombone being played and rushed off. "Typical Pinkie..." Twilight sighed and headed over to Carousel Boutique. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Parasprites //-------------------------------------------------------// The Parasprites "Stand still, Rainbow Dash!" Rarity said as Rainbow Dash was fidgeting with her hooves. Rainbow Dash sighs "I caaan't, I need to flyyy! This is waaay too boring for me!" "You know, Rainbow Dash, I should be more bored. I have to sit here and watch Rarity make a dress for you and I can't do anything," I said. "Besides do you want to look nice for Princess Celestia or not?" Rarity asked Rainbow Dash. Twilight came in and said "Wow. Rarity, these outfits are gorgeous!" Rarity turned around and said "Thank you, Twilight! Nice to know someone appreciates my talents!" "UGH! sooo boooring!" Rainbow Dash said. The Parasprite that Twilight had chirped inside Twilight's mane. Rarity and Rainbow Dash walked over and Rarity said "Huh?" "What that sound, Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Wait that noise sounded familiar... eh, I don't remember. So what is it?" I asked. A Parasprite jumped out of Twilight's mane and two more popped out from behind the Parasprite "Wow, what are they?" Rainbow Dash asked "The better question is, where did they come from? I only had one a minute ago!" Twilight said "Uh, I'll take one!" Rainbow Dash said. "Me too, oh, they're perfect!" Rarity said. Then Pinkie Pie rushed in and asked "Does anypony know where I can find an accordion?"-everypony but me was busy with their new pets-"Everyone? Hello! This is important! UGH! Thanks a lot!" As Pinkie rushed out my vision changed and everything looked a holographic blue but the Parasprites which were a solid red, but after 10 seconds my vision changed back to normal and I shook my head. Then everypony went home. "It was so strange, Rainbow Dash. Everything in the room changed!" I said. "Eh, we'll worry about it tomorrow, it was a long day," Rainbow Dash said. "OK," I said before we went to sleep The next day, Rainbow Dash woke up from a Parasprite popping up and then started to get confused when more and more started to pop out. Ten of them went and cuddled on Rainbow Dash and she swatted at them. Then they cuddled on her again and she jumps up and started flying away. "Don't worry, Rainbow Dash, I'm coming!" I yelled, but one got in the way and I was flying too fast, I dodged and knocked myself out by ramming into a wall. 11 Parasprites follow Rainbow Dash and she swatted them back, but then they hang on her arms and she waves her arms saying "Get off me!" then they pile up on her head and she swatted up there. Then they get on her body and looked like a bikini. Then she swatted down there. Then they hanged off her chin to look like she has a beard and she shook her head twice, but they didn't come off and then she yelled and flew off. I woke up and saw flying and flew over to try to help her. 10 minutes later over near Fluttershy's home. Twilight was galloping along the path and stopped when she saw Rarity with two full bags. Rarity looked over at Twilight's bag and saw it full of Parasprites "I see we're having the same problem." "Ditto!" Rainbow Dash yelled flying by, stopping only to shake the Parasprites off her face. "How many are there?" I yelled tying to catch some of the Parasprites. "Fluttershy know everything about animals, I'm sure she can tell us how to stop them multiplying." Twilight said. She ran over to the door; opened it only find hundreds of Parasprites inside and said "... Or not." Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and I walked and Twilight asked "Do something Fluttershy, can't you control them?" Fluttershy responded "I've tried everything I know: I've tried begging, and pleading, and beseeching, and asking politely, and..." Fluttershy went on. I turned to Twilight and asked "So, Fluttershy is out of the problem seeing that she handle this problem, so what should we try next, Twilight? Twilight you there?"-Twilight seemed to be imagining something-"Twilight, snap out of it!" "If we can't get them under control before the princess arrives, it'll be a total disaster!" Twilight said. "If you ask me it's already a total disaster!" Rarity exclaimed. at that moment, Applejack showed up and said "Here's all those apples you wanted, Fluttershy, but I still can't figure why y'need so many."-then the Parasprites ate all the apples-"HEY!" "What do we do?" Fluttershy asked. "I got it! No pony can herd like Applejack!" Twilight said pointing towards Applejack. "Yeah! We can drive 'em back into the forest!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "I'll rastle 'em up, but I need everypony's help to do it. Twilight, you and Rarity wait over there. I'll herd the little critters straight at ya like a funnel. Rainbow Dash, you, Fluttershy and Silver Blade stay on top of 'em, don't let 'em fly away." Applejack said pointing everypony to an assigned area. "Aye aye!" Rainbow Dash said. "Yeeeeeee-haw!"-Applejack said before rushing off to put all the Parasprites into a giant ball-"Alright y'all, here goes nothin'. Look out Rarity, that one's fixin' to get away. Keep a lead on 'em, Rainbow Dash. Hold on girls, we're almost there. Twilight looked over and saw Pinkie pie next to her "Pinkie!" "Twilight, we don't have much time!" Pinkie Pie replied "You're telling me. The princess could arrive at any moment!" Twilight exclaimed. "Exactly. That's why I need you gals to drop what you're doing and help me find some maracas!" Pinkie Pie said tilting her head upside down. "Maracas?"-Twilight asked-"Pinkie, we've got much bigger problems than missing maracas." Pinkie Pie gasped "You're right! Getting a tuba has to be our number one goal. Follow me."-Pinkie ran off and came back-"I said, follow me!" Rainbow Dash flew over to Pinkie "Pinkie Pie, you are so random." "And you are all so stubborn!" Pinkie said before running off for the last time. "Forget her. Focus. Head 'em up and move 'em out." Applejack said. "I agree with Applejack, the sooner we get this done, the faster we can be rid of these things!" Within seconds we pushed them into the Everfree Forest. "Alright!" Rainbow Dash said. "We did it! Nice work, Applejack!" "Couldn't a'done it without y'all!" Applejack replied. "Now let's get back and clean up the mess they made before the princess arrives." Twilight said. Then we all headed back to Fluttershy's cottage. "Okay, everyone knows what to do, right? We gotta work extra hard to make up for lost time." Fluttershy open the door and millions of Parasprites flew out "Fluttershy, what did you do?" I yelled "Where did they come from?!" Twilight asked Fluttershy "Well, I may have kept just one. Heh. I couldn't help myself. They're just so cute!" "We don't have time to keep rounding up these things. What do we do now?" Twilight asked. At that moment, Rainbow Dash flew down with a pair of goggles on her head "We call in the weather patrol!" Rainbow Dash flew back up and looked down to see all the Parasprites. She put the goggles over the eyes and said to herself "Time to take out the adorable trash!" Then yelled and flew down, spun around the Parasprites in circles, and formed a tornado. Then she started to suck them up into the tornado. "Come on Rainbow Dash! We need to get rid of them before the problem gets worse!" I yelled to Rainbow Dash. "Looks like our problems are solved." Applejack said. "They will be with these cymbals."-the tornado ripped the cymbals off the string holding them on Pinkie neck-"Hey! Give me those back!" The cymbals were flung all around the inside of the tornado, with Rainbow Dash barely able to keep going. "Hang on Rainbow Dash, I'm coming up to help!" I flew up into the tornado to see how I could help. I saw a cymbal heading for Rainbow Dash so I got in the way of it. I yelled in pain as it hit the edge of one of my wings, so I flew back down and the only thing I could do was watch as Rainbow Dash was flung out of the tornado and all the Parasprites fly toward Ponyville. "Pinkie Pie, what have you done?" Twilight yelled. "I've lost a brand new pair of cymbals, that's what I've done!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Will you forget about your silly instruments for one second? You're ruining our efforts to save Ponyville!" Twilight said. "Me? Ruin? I'm not the ruiner, I'm the ruinee! Or is it ruiness? Ruinette?" Pinkie said, confused about what she was saying. Applejack ran by pinkie, stopped, and said "Come on girls, there's no reasoning with that one. She's a few apples short of a bushel." "Hey! I'm trying to tell you all that the ruining is on the other hoof. If you just slow down and listen to me!" Pinkie yelled as everypony ran past her. "You all go on ahead. I'm going to the hospital to see about my broken wing." I said. The doctors showed me to my room, laid me on my bed, and told me I should get some sleep. what felt like moment later, everypony was in my room. "So what happened? Did you get rid of all the creatures?" I said. "Yes. I'll tell all of what happened." Twilight said. a minute later, Twilight was finishing up on the story "So as all was lost, Pinkie came with tons of instruments and was able to lead the Parasprites out of town with music!" she said. "Wow! Well the doctor said I should be good to go in an hour." I said. As everypony was walking out of the room I asked Rainbow Dash if i could talk to her for a moment "Rainbow Dash, I'm still seeing things. Is there anypony that you know that I could talk to and find out what they are?" "Well there is one, but she lives in the Everfree Forest. Don't worry though, if you follow the path that leads from the town and into the forest, you will be all right. Also stay away from blue plants, they will do weird things to you."Rainbow Dash said. "Thanks, I should get some rest now." In an hour when I was felling better, I went to the forest and found the hut. I went on inside and found a Zebra in the and asked her if she could help me.
