While drinking a sip of root beer, Luke was having spaghetti without meatballs foe dinner sine ponies don't eat meat and all. Still, the noodles and the sauce were good, even without the meatballs. Fluttershy herself was having some spaghetti.
"Hmm, this is delicious, Luke. Did you make this yourself?"
"Yep." He replied boldly and proudly. "It's my grandma's secret recipe for the sauce. It's actually quite easy once you get the hang of it."
Fluttershy took another bite of noodles, and wiped her face with an unused napkin. "It is so good."
Luke shrugged a little and flushed "you know me, i'm quite a fast learner. My grandma taught me all that there is to know about Makin spaghetti sauce." And he slurped down a lone noodle.
"I'm glad to hear that. Is spaghetti your favorite type of food?"
"Oh of them." Luke said modestly. "But I like pizza hamburgers, hit dogs, some fish like tilapia. I also love melons like honeydew and citrus like lemons. But I think I might have told you that before."
The yellow pegasus was remembering a time when the rogue human did mention the food he liked to eat. "That's wonderful. Wait, what are hot dogs?"
"No need to worry about that, they are not really dogs, just.... pig intestines." Luke said, trying not to freak her out in any way possible." The yellow pegasus was a little grossed out by this, but she realized that it was probably a human custom. "Don't worry, I will never kill am animal and try to eat."
Then the smile came back to her face. "I know you wouldn't. You're too kind and sweet to do such an evil thing, Luke."
Luke flustered mildly again, and slightly looked away from her. "He stop it." He said with a chuckle. "But to be honest, I am missing the taste of a double whopper from Burger King." Then he began daydreaming of that infamous hamburger.
"Uhh, Luke, I don't mean to be rude, but-"
"Oh, sorry," then he wiped out a few drops of saliva off his face, and focused back on reality. "But the point is, i'm okay if I don't eat it that much anymore. Besides, fast food isn't really the... healthiest choice for eating anyway." and he made a small growl. "Sometimes I wish that the food that is healthy like carrots, and broccoli, or bran, anything that doesn't have so much taste as the unhealthy food, while the fun food like ice cream, Burger King, a restaurant called McDonald's, cookies, and candy were the healthy food."
Fluttershy giggled. "That would be nice. Pinkie Pie would love it if that actually happened."
Luke made a small chuckle. "Yeah, it would be paradise for her. It would be like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory for her."
"Who's Willy Wonka?" Fluttershy asked
"He's a fictional owner of this candy utopia called the Chocolate Factory. It's from an old movie from a long time ago that many people love. It's just a made-up place that everyone wishes they could visit. Heh, I can imagine how much Pinkie Pie will love to be in a place like that one."
"That is true." Then both of them continued eating their dinner. After they were finished, Both of them were more than stuffed, and the human patted his belly, knowing it appeased it's hunger. "Oh boy, that was really delicious. Thank you for making dinner, Luke." Fluttershy said said gratefully while patting his back
"No problem. I knew you would love it."
She nodded a yes to him, and remarked "I did." Then she went to give Angel Bunny her special extra dinner just for him. "Here you go, Angel. An extra bowl of greens for you."
The rabbit made a happy squeak, and dug into his extra dinner. He may be a white rabbit, but he was eating like a pig.
"You really love extra dinner, don't ya, Angel." Luke asked him, looking a little annoyed by the rabbit's spoiled behavior.
Angel looked up, with his mouth looking quite packed, and boldly nodded a yes before eating the rest of his food down like a pig eating a pale of slob.
"Of course you do." He muttered. "No offense, Fluttershy, but doesn't Angel have any limits? I mean, sure, he is cute, but even he needs limits around here."
"Oh yes. I always put my hoof down on him if he is acting mean or rude to me or any other animal in my cottage."
"How?"
It was almost as if she hated to talk about it, but she said "well, umm- I have this technique that I used to... make animals listen to me if they were misbehaving."
"What's that?"
"The stare."
"The stare?"
"Hmm-mm. You see-" but before Fluttershy could finish, she was interrupted when Angel tapped his foot on the floor in an aggressive matter. The bunny was telling her he wanted more food, but Fluttershy looked bold, and looked stern at him. "Angel Bunny. I already fed ypu." She stated.
Angel however looked more aggressive and stomped his foo again
"I didn't want to have to do this, Angel, but you leave me no choice." Then Fluttershy cleared her throat, and then gave Angel an evil look in her eyes, like she was going to do something horrible to him. The spoiled white rabbit stepped back in fear, and Fluttershy kept on giving him an evil death glare.
Luke himself was surprised by this, and didn't know what to think of about what she was even doing. Just then the rabbit went to bed in a snap, and began snoring rapid and loudly
Her demeanor suddenly changed back to her happy self when Fluttershy. "That's a good bunny."
"Whoa, what was that?"
"That was something I call the Stare." Fluttershy said. "It's not really what I like to do, but... I only use it if necessary, like how rude Angel was to me."
"Hmm. Well that works. Let's see Jackson Galaxy and Victoria Stillwell do that to cats and dogs who would misbehave."
"Who are they?"
"Jackson Galaxy is a cat behaviorist and has his own show on Animal Planet called My Cat from Hell. Victoria Stilwell is a dog behaviorist, and helps keeps dogs under control, who also had her own show on Animal Planet."
"Oh my, I wish I can meet them."
"Well, I think they should meet you. By the looks of my eyes, you know about animals way more than they do."
"Aww, thank you, Luke." then she hugged him again. The human was always happy to feel the warm embrace of Fluttershy. "I just hope that any animals aren't scarred for life by that technique."
"Don't worry. I have given the stare a couple times on them before, and they all still love me." and the other made sounds of agreement with her, like roaring, grunting, squeaking, growling, chittering, and other type of sounds animals make. "Right."
"Yeah, who am I kidding. Many animals just wouldn't know any better, but for a certain rabbit here, he knows exactly what's going on around him."
Fluttershy made a giggle. "Right, but I'm sure he learned his lesson now." While looking over, Angel made a small growl of irritation before snoring himself to sleep again. Then Luke and Fluttershy had a small laugh together. The human drew himself one last glass of root beet from the kitchen, and then went up to the bathroom.
After he was finished, Luke put his phone and iPod back in their chargers, and promptly made his way up to bed. "Goodnight, Luke. I'll see you in the morning."
"G'night, Fluttershy." He replied with a yawn, and then made his way up to bed.
In the next morning, the sun was shining over Luke's bedroom window in the cottage. The human slowly awaken from his long, eight hour slumber, and stretched himself before waving his long hair back two inches past his neck.
"What a night." he muttered to himself. He lumbered downstairs, and smelled the scent of waffles. He wiped his eyes and heard Fluttershy humming to herself in the kitchen.
There's nothing more soothing to him than hearing his closest pony friend's beautiful singing voice. It was like some beautiful goddess just came down from the heavens in the skies. He sat down on the table and began eating his breakfast.
Fluttershy came back in, still humming, and immediately stopped when she saw Luke eating his food. "Good morning. Did you sleep well?"
"Uh-huh. Thank you for making me breakfast, but you didn't have to do that. I could have mad it myself."
"I know, but you're one of my closest friends I could ever ask for."
Luke was touched to hear those compliments. "Thank you Fluttershy." And he ate the last bite of his waffles with a touch of butter on them."
Then Fluttershy remembered something "I almost forgot." Then she brought in a cup of ice cold root beer for Luke to drink. "I know how much you love this."
"Once again, thank you." And he took a sip. "Hey Flutters,"
"Yes?"
"I want to thank you guys again for saving me from that Chimera yesterday. Without you, I would have been it's juicy baked dinner, like a big juicy baked ham."
The yellow Pegasus giggled adorably, and said "you're very welcome. Always happy to help one of best friends. Did you know about that monster?"
"Yeah, that monster is also in Greek mythology. Although it is usually portrayed with a lion head instead of a tiger head. But then I realized the Chimera was a female so now it makes sense."
"Oh yes."
Then there was a knock on the door, and Luke was the one who answered it this time. It revealed to be his other best friends. "Ah, hey guys."
"Hi Luke." They all greeted warmly.
"Is Fluttershy here?"
"Uh-huh." The the human stepped inside so the others can come inside.
"Hello everypony." Fluttershy greeted the others. "What bring your here to my cottage?"
"I wanted to show everypony the new Power Ponies comic book!" Spike said, holding up a very peculiar comic novel.
Luke then asked "Power Ponies? Like superheroes?"
"Yeah, really awesome superheroes." The baby dragon replied. "They protect the city of Maretropolis from an evil mare called the Mane-iac."
The name make Luke chuckle a little and said "ha, I get the pun."
"Yeah, and I want to go fight crime some more."
"You mean go back in there and foil the Mane-iac's plan in the newest addition right here?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
"Yep! For old time sake."
His friends were a little uncertain about this. "I don't know, Spike. It sounds kind of dangerous." Twilight remarked
"Ah, we made it in their and defeated her before, we can do it again."
"We don't think it's a good idea," said Fluttershy
"Pardon me, but, what do you all mean?"
"Well Luke, this is from the Canterlot house of magic comics." Pinkie said "and they really are enchanted!"
"Oh. That explains a lot. Can I join in on the fun?" Luke offered. "I always wanted to have a superpower."
"See? Luke wants to have fun."
"Well we-"
"Please?" Said the human and baby dragon begged with the puppy dog face in their eyes. "I really want to see Maretropolis. Besides, it's my day off."
It took a little while, but Twilight said "Alright" with a smirk. Then the others said yes as well. Luke and Spike were more than thrilled to hear it, and the baby dragon pulled out a magnifying glass out of nowhere.
The reason why he used it was because the words were too small for even his eyes. When he was done reading it, a wormhole appeared from the book and began sucking everyone in the book, one by one.
Luke was the last of course, and landed with a thud on something made of cement. "Ow. That hurts." He said. When he got up he saw that he was in a beautiful looking city under the moonlight, sort of like the world of Batman and Spider-Man of some kind.
He looked, and saw that his closest pony friends have turned into superheroes and Spike looked
like Robin the boy wonder.
"Wow, look at you guys! You look like superheroes!"
"We are Superheroes. I am the Masked Matterhorn."
"The graceful Radiance.
"I'm Saddle Rager, well, I think I am."
"Fili-second!"
"Zap!"
"And Mistress Marevelous."
"Ahem! Don't forget about me. I am Humdrum!" Spike said. "And look at you, Luke."
The human took out his iPod and saw his reflection. He was rather surprised to see that he was wearing leather pants, and a set of lightweight armor on his torso. He wore a large belt buckle with a lion roaring as a symbol, made of pure silver. His hair was still the way it was, but he had sharp teeth like a vampire or a carnivorous animal would have. Not only that, but he had a green lion mask with his long hair poking out of it.
"Wow, I look so badass." He even had a green cape behind. "What am I?"
"The Green Lion." Spike said. "A musician that turned into a superhero after a guitar and amplifier accident, and it mutated you to give you the power to use his guitar against his enemies with amazing guitar solos and chord. The lion part was from a time he got bitten by one before the accident. Now you can roar like one."
The human was getting more and more excited, and then made an actual roar, that indeed, sounded like a lion would sound like. His friends were more than impressed by this."
"This is so wonderful!" Fluttershy said. "This should be fun."
Then an explosion was heard out of nowhere, and saw an earth mare with a body shape like Princess Luna would have, except she was dark blue on color, and wore a purple bodysuit, and her mane and tail looked green and were used like tendrils.
"Well well well." Said the mare. "The Power Ponies have come to play with me! Haha! Oh! And the Green a lion is here too! This is going to be fun! Mwahahahahaha!"
She kept on cackling and cackling. From the looks and sounds of this, she sounded completely crazy, criminally crazy. "This must be the Mane-iac Spike told me about. She kind of looks like a combination of Joker, Doc Ock, and Medusa."
"Time for the Mane event."
"Oh hell." Luke muttered. "She's nuts."
