"The Grand Galloping Gala!" Twilight and Applejack exclaimed as they jumped for joy. Spike looked irritated.
"Um...yeah, you said that already." Krilin said. "But what IS the Grand Galloping Gala?" Neither girl answered. Spike belched again, and two shiny slips of paper came out of it.
"Look! Two tickets!" He said, holding them up.
"I got a Golden Ticket..." Tristan began to sing, only for Joey to cover his mouth.
"I hate that song!" Joey snapped.
"This is great!" Twilight said ecstatically. "I've never been to the Grand Galloping Gala!"
"What IS the Grand Galloping Gala?!" Krillin asked, ignored again.
"Have YOU been to the Gala, Spike?" Twilight asked. Spike crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
"No. And I plan to keep it that way!" Spike replied. "I don't want any of that girly frou frou nonsense!"
"WHAT IS THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA?!" Krillin asked in annoyance.
"Aw come on, Spike!" Twilight insisted. "A dance would be nice!"
"Nice?!" Applejack exclaimed. "It's a heaps more than just nice! I'd love to go!"
"Rrrrrrrolllll fantasy!" A certain merc with a mouth said while wasting his time reading this story on a laptop that he stole from Taskmaster. And so a fantasy was rolled.
"Land sakes..." Applejack began. "If I had an apple stand set up, ponies would be buying our vittles till the cows came home! Do y'all know how much business I could drum up for Sweet Apple Acres? Why, with all that money, we could do a ton of fixin up! We could replace that saggy old roof! And Big Macintosh could replace that saggy old plow! And Granny Smith could replace that saggy old hip!"
"Wow! Is there anything money CAN'T do?" Achmed exclaimed, pleased with the bad moral he just taught all the kids who weren't reading this.
"Well said, pardner! I'd give ANYTHING to go to that Gala!" Applejack concluded.
"What...IS...the Grand....Galloping Gala?" Krillin asked through gritted teeth.
"Oh!" Twilight said. "Well in that case, would you like to..." But she didn't get to finish, as a certain blue pegasus landed on top of her and Applejack.
"Are we talking about the GRAND GALLOPING gala?!" She asked excitedly.
"Y'know, I still want to know what that is!" Krillin insisted.
"Rainbow Dash... You told me you were too busy to help me harvest apples!" Applejack snapped. "What were ya busy doing? Spying?"
"Noo." Dash replied. "I was busy...napping." Everyone looked up at a tree to see a blanket and pillow on one of the branches.
"...You can lay on clouds, yet you choose to sleep on a tree trunk?" Krillin asked.
"Hey, don't knock it till ya try it!" Dash shrugged.
"I wanna try!" Tristan said. And so he immediately ran up to the tree and climbed onto the branch with the blanket and pillow. He pulled a teddy bear out of his jeans pocket and fell asleep instantly.
"...Tristan sleeps with a teddy bear?!" Joey exclaimed. "I might have to blackmail him into staying away from my sis-oh wait, he already posted a picture of himself sleeping with it on his FaceBook wall. I should have known already."
"Ha! What a loser! What kind of idiot sleeps with a teddy bear?!" Achmed said smugly. Twilight looked at him with a knowing smirk. Achmed glared. "LEAVE GANGSTA FLUFFYTAIL OUT OF THIS!! HE'S THE ONLY GOOD THING IN MY LIFE! AT HOME!"
"I wanna sleep in that tree now..." Krillin said. Tristan heard him and complied, climbing down expertly.
"Okay Krillin! Wanna borrow Wompy?" He extended the teddy bear towards Krillin, but Krillin pulled out a stuffed rabbit.
"Nah, that's okay. I've got Fluffykins." He replied.
"OH BROTHER! YOU GUYS ARE SISSIES!" Spike shouted offscreen. Twilight glared at him disapprovingly. Achmed muttered something about a bomb in his bed. Krillin climbed up the tree and settled onto the branch, then fell asleep.
"Aaaaaanyway, back to the matter at hand...I just HAPPENED to hear that you have an extra ticket?" Rainbow Dash said, getting into Twilight's face.
"...Yeah, but-"
"YES!" Dash exclaimed. "This is SO AWESOME! The Wonderbolts perform at the Grand Galloping Gala every year! I can see it now...." Suddenly, the screen froze up. A red-clad merc popped up in front of the frozen image.
"Ey, readers! Wassup! It's me, Deadpool! You know where this scene is going. Rainbow Dash wants to intrude the Wonderbolts's performance and get herself kicked out and banned from all future performances under the dillusion that they'll be so blown away by her performance that they'll instantly beg her to join them! IN. GENIOUS. But you know how that scene goes already, so..." Deadpool pulled a remote control out of nowhere. "I will fast forward it to the end of the flashback!" And so Deadpool did just that. "Nifty, eh?"
"WILSON!" Taskmaster shouted offscreen. Deadpool cringed slightly. "GIVE ME BACK MY LAPTOP AND I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!"
"Uh... don't you mean OR you'll kick my ass?" Deadpool replied.
"NO I DON'T!" Taskmaster shouted.
"Well, gotta go! See ya guys later!" And Deadpool ran away with Taskmaster following close behind. He pressed play offscreen.
"Don't you see, Twilight?" Rainbow Dash said. "This could be my one chance to show em my stuff! You gotta take ME!" Then she was yanked back by the tail.
"Hold on just one pony licking minute here!" Applejack exclaimed, her mouth full of tail. She spat Dash's tail out. "I asked for that ticket first!"
"That doesn't mean you own it!" Dash replied.
"Oh yeah? Well I challenge you to a hoof wrastle! Winner gets the ticket!" They placed their hooves on a tree stump and began to arm wrestle, only to be broken up by Twilight.
"Girls!" Twilight exclaimed. "It's MY ticket! I'LL decide who gets it!"
"Awww..." The boys, minus Krillin, said sadly, tossing away their popcorn buckets.
"Whoever has the best reason to go gets the ticket, wouldn't you agree?" Applejack and Rainbow Dash immediately barraged her with reasons why their reasons were good.
"Oh my. Those ARE pretty good reasons, aren't they?" Twilight said. Her stomach growled. She chuckled nervously.
"Listen to that. I AM starving."
"Me too!" Tristan said.
"Yeah, same here." Joey said.
"I am too." Spike said, despite the fact that he was lazing on Twilight's back the entire time.
"I hate food! It goes right through me!" Achmed exclaimed. Krillin snored.
"Great! Glad we're all on the same page! Okay, let's wake Krillin up and get some lunch!" Then there was an offscreen snap, and Krillin screamed as he fell to the ground. He smashed into the ground facefirst. Then the tree fell on top of him.
Krillin Owned Count: 14
After they got Krillin out of the tree, the group left Rainbow Dash and Applejack hoof wrestling.
Wow. This chapter sucks. I promise I'll do better in the future.
