Includes an excerpt from "Awoken In The Factory (Parody of "Welcome To Jungle")" by Guns N' Toasters CHAPTER 1 Of 2: Good Vibrations (Part I Of “I Know There's A Good Answer”) As always in most fanfictions, it was a completely ordinary day in Ponyville. Better then a dark and stormy night, I guess. Anyways, it was normal until a scream came from Rarity's shop. "What the heck is it now, Rarity?" asked Sweetie Belle. "Are they finally reviving Lil' Miss Rarity?" "Oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh!" Rarity was running around in the room. "I've-never-been-this-excited-over-any-thing-in-my-whole-life-I-mean-it's-just-" Sweetie Belle then slapped Rarity and said, "Stop it, girl! You think you're Pinkie again!" "You're right, you're right..." Rarity sighed. "It's just... Pure ecstasy!" "What is it, dear old sister?" "Paradise Sounds, our cousin I never ever mentioned until this very moment in time, will be here any minute! We must go to the station!" "Paradise... Sounds?" Sweetie Belle didn't understand anything at all. "There's no time to explain!" Rarity exclaimed, assuming she knew what Sweetie Belle meant. "We must go! DON'T ARGUE! NOW!" Rarity took her sister and went straight to the train station, even walking through a few buildings. There, for no good reason at all, they met Twilight. "Hey, Rarity! What is up?" asked the purple alicorn. "...Really?" Rarity deadpanned. "'Is'?" "Why are you nitpicking my grammar?" "I have no idea," Rarity admitted. "Also, shut up, Nyx." "Um... Anyways, why are you two here?" Twilight enquired, Nyx walking away all depressed like. "I should ask you the same thing," Rarity retorted. She quickly added, "Minus the 'two', but you get my point." Twilight sighed and rolled her eyes. "Anyways, why are you two here?" "Ehh... Well.. Oh, Faust this is awkward for some reason," Rartiy tried to answer. "Um... Our cousin, Paradise is *mispell* comming from Canterlot." Rarity was nervous because... "I'm afraid she will think I am just a country pony." Twilight slapped Rarity with (blood sugar sex) MAGICK and said, "Rarity, did you forget the moral of 'Sweet And Elite'?" "Possibly..." Rarity was getting awkward again. "Anyways, why in Equestria does she think that?" smiled Twilight, MAGICKly making "smiled" a speaking-verb. She then frowned: "Is the princess feeding our relatives lies?! Why would she do that to my FrIeNdS!?" "Twilight..." Rarity began, but then Sweetie wanted to continue the plot. "Here comes the train!" shouted Sweetie Belle. Yes, the last train to PonyVille finally arrived and the ponies descended from- I mean, got off of it. And she came. [sic] Well, um, to get your mind of that, here's what Paradise Sounds looks like: She was a pegasus with white hair that was supposed to be fur. She had purple eyes and a yellow, orange, purple, pink mane and tail. Her cutie mark was a purple lotus on a sloop. She was beautiful like most OCs her age and very nervous. "Paradise?" Rarity asked her cousin. Because she has no idea what her own cousin looked like. "Yes." confirmed the white pegasus. "Hi, my name is Rarity. I am your cousin. Nice to meet you." introduced Rarity and then pointed at her sister."And she is my lil' sister, Sweetie Belle." "And you?" Paradise looked at Twilight. "Let me take a minute to tell who I am; let me take a minute to tell you my plan, if it doesn't show, think you better know, I'm another pony." "What?" Paradise derped. "I... I made a Mothers Of Invention reference," Twilight explained. "I don't know any Bronies that're gonna get that," Paradise shrugged. "Anyways, I am Twilight Sparkle. Rarity is one of my best friends. Nice to meet you!" smiled Twilight, once again treating a motion like it's a way of communication. "Okay..." There was a hugely awkward silence... And then Paradise turned and went away. "Wow. That was creepy."said Twilight. "Creepy?" Rarity echoed. Twilight shrugged and was about to go off, but then a certain somepony came. "HEY RARITY, REMEMBER ME, I'M YOUR OTHER COUSIN!" Ivory, Rairty's other cousin (apparently), exclaimed. He was randomly inserting song lyrics into the story in order to pad it out. Speaking of which... *"Welcome to the factory, tryin' to mute the screams. I realize this wrong, yes, guys, finally!"* "Go home, Ivory, nopony likes you!" Twilight, Rarity and Sweetie Belle snapped in unison before walking off. "Aw..." Ivory's ears flopped and he went off all said like. *"I try to open my eyes, I try see but I'm blinded by the white light..."* Moving on, Paradise hated to be in PonyVille because it was so different than Canterlot. Canterlot was shiny and nice. She didn't have any opinion on PonyVille. She hated her cousins. She didn't want to be here. Maybe if one of her "shiny and nice" friends here, she'd feel better. In fact, one even offered to go with her, but Paradise replied, "Caroline, no". All in all, all she (Paradise) wanted to go home. First, the trio went to Pinkie Pie. She was so... So... So... Random! She was dancing all the time (her thing of the week). And Paradise didn't like it one single bit. Why? Faust only knows. "What's wrong with you?!" Paradise, making Rarity facehoof. "I got a song stuck in my head because it fits so well with me!" Pinkie laughed. "I jump outta my seat, 'cause I can't compete, 'cause I'm a! Dancin' foooool! I'm a! Dancin' foooool!" "Whatever..." Paradise, beginning to leave, grumbled. "Hey! I'm gonna throw you a party because it's in my contract!" "Oh... Thanks..." was what Paradise's mouth said, but what her mind said at that exact moment was "Go to hell!"... Or something very close to that likeness. The next pony was Applejack. Well... She was strong and sincere! She gave Paradise some apples. That was very nice of her, despite being a little out of the blue. Twilight, Rarity, Sweetie Belle and Paradise went to Fluttershy's afterwards. She (Fluttershy) was very shy, as the name suggested. Paradise couldn't believe her eyes. [sic] But she liked that large, black, hole-y pony and Fluttershy's animals. But that Angel bunny was pathetic. She always hated bunnies. Why?... Canterlot ponies hate bunnies, I think. When they were going to Rainbow Dash, a little dragon, Spike joined them. He has no lines and is never mentioned again after this aside from in the next paragraph, so it had no real point in the long run. Great. Finally, after five minutes of searching, they found Rainbow Dash. ("Wow," Paradise commented flatly.) Rainbow Dash was so awesome, aside from crashing into a couple things because Dashie was apparently blind as a bat. She also told Paradise that she used to work at this place called "The Rainbow Factory". Overall, Paradise liked that pony, which goes against this story's description. Soon, after Paradise met the big names in PonyVille (Derpy, Vinyl, Lyra, all 'dem), Pinkie Pie threw together a party in the normal amount of time it takes her to do that stuff... About 0.27 seconds. Not her personal best, but whatever. Anyways, the Mane Six and Paradise plus Spike went to the party. Spike then evaporated. Moving on, Pinkie's party was fantastic per usual, but Paradise herself felt truly awful. She was bored, which is statistically impossible at a Pinkie Pie party, and, if you didn't read the description, she didn't like these ponies. Aside from Rainbow Dash, but she doesn't count, contradicting what I said a paragraph ago. "What's wrong?" Rarity asked her cousin, finally noticing the angry look in her eye. "Nothing," Paradise spat, literally spitting in Rarity's face. "That wasn't funny..." Rarity muttered, trotting off somewheres else. Suddenly, a wild Pinkie Pie appeared. "Everypony on the dance floor, darlings, we're going to dance with the devil!" she exclaimed, proceeding to take Paradise and force her onto the floor. "Everypony now! I'm a! Dancin' foooool! I'm a! Dancin' foo-" "Enough!" shouted Paradise. Suddenly, everything went silent. "...I guess you don't like that song," Pinkie said after a while. "Well I know what you will! Everypony! DO THE HARLEM-" "OK, now I'm bucking serious!" Paradise hissed, giving Pinkie a dirty look. "Huh. And I thought I was over-the-top," Pinkie commented, walking off. "And I know that wasn't, but, c'mon, when else am I ever gonna say that?" Everypony gave Pinkie a "questioningly" face, followed by then turning their attention to the furious Paradise. "Paradise!" Rarity exclaimed, going up to her cousin. "First of all, thanks, that song got old." "You're welcome," Paradise half-growled. Honestly, she was planning on doing one of those videos sometime. "Second," the white designer continued, "you can't just act like that! I'm pretty sure there's a fanfiction out there were an OC similar to you do this, but that's besides the point! You can't just do that!" "No! I'm sick of your stupid friends!" Paradise snapped, making Rarity take a small step back. " Just... Just leave me alone! I hate you guys! So I will leave. Good-bucking-bye!" And, with that, Paradise ran out. However, Rarity, being more persistent then normal, ran after her. "Paradise, you can't just leave! Especially since I don't know why you came in the first place! Besides, those ponies you haven't really met are your friends now!" "She obviously doesn't remember what happened with Twinkle," Twilight commented to Sweetie Belle. "Don't bring that up ever again," Sweetie said all bored-like. "Oh really?" Paradise laughed, stopping and turning to Rarity. "All of them? How many ponies are in this village?" "I lost count after the OCs started moving in," Rarity told Paradise with a shrug. "I think we stopped updating the sign October 11th." "Or maybe you're just too stupid to count," Paradise said, starting to go away again. "Paradise!" Rarity shouted again. "What have I told you about talking that way about your friends?!" "Rarity, those random strangers aren't my friends!" "Hey, it worked with Twinkle," Rarity shrugged. "No it didn't!" Sweetie Belle reminded Rarity. "Right..." Rarity muttered. "Besides, I don't want your 'friendship' anyways," Paradise said. "And tomorrow I'm going to go home." "Wait, I thought you were leaving today," Twilight pointed out, coming up from behind Rarity. "Wouldn't it be nice if I did?" Paradise enquired mockingly. "Wai-wai-wait! You're gonna leave us?" Sweetie Belle appeared out of the void. "I don't wanna you leave us and even though you've been a jerk the whole time you've been here and I know nothing about you... I like you cousin." And then she gave Paradise a huge hug, which was like taking a giant step. And then the other ponies appeared out of the same void. "I found the void!" Derpy yelled to the reader. Anywho... "See? These ponies don't want your gone," Rarity told Paradise, making GLaDoS frowned. "They want to be your friends even though they're on the same page as you when it comes to knowledge of the pony they're friends with!" Then, Rarity gave her cousin a hug just like Sweetie Belle. And it made Paradise cry. "You're right..." Paradise sighed. "I am an arrogant, smugly quiet, awful monster of a pony. I'm sorry. I am really sorry. I was bossy and monstrous. I just wasn't made for these times." "You don't have to be that hard on yourself," Rarity whispered. "Well, it's making them feel better," Paradise retorted. "Now don't talk; put your head on my shoulder." Rarity shrugged, put her head on Paradise's shoulder and signaled for Twilight to hug her cousin as well. And, obviously, she did go over to Paradise and hugged her. Then they decided they spent enough time screwing around outside and continued the party. After the party, PonyVille met the new and remastered-for-1990 Paradise. Like most OCs her age, she was a very kind and courtesy pony. The only difference is, she did it better. Also, she was a good singer (and to prove it, she did a rendition of "Surfin' USA"). Soon, everypony liked her... Well, better then Sescilleah. Also, y'know, Paradise liked them too. PonyVille became her second home. And before she went back to Canterlot, Paradise made the solemn promise her return to PonyVille. And y'know what happened...?
