//------------------------------// // Chapter 14: A Rainbow of a Party // Story: Through the Looking Glass // by Electuroo //------------------------------// Through the Looking Glass (MLP) Chapter 14: Rainbow of a Party Goldenmare had been defeated which seem a little too easy to sit with for all that was there, she did capture Shining Armour and Princess Luna with ease as well taking hostage and now joined the ponies of Equestria Stardust and Angel the mother and sister of Electuroo. In Ponyville a party was on it way at Pinkie Pie’s place for Rainbow Dash’s birthday and the night was very lively indeed and with a few extras in the party including Princess Luna and Celestia things was well and truly lively with Pinkie Pie doing her best to throw the most crazy and fun party possible for Rainbow Dash and that all would be having a great time as well. Rainbow Dash was enjoying a great glass of Apple Cider “Mmm this hit the spot” she said with glee “Great cider Applejack!” “Glad ya like it sugar cube” Applejack smiled in reply “And what a great party as well it seems that everyone enjoying it” Rainbow Dash showed her pride “Of course since it is my birthday party and I only get the best ever from Pinkie Pie” “Yep but I always give the best for everypony!” Pinkie Pie replied “And tomorrow there be one for welcoming more new ponies to Ponyville!” Pinkie Pie then noticed Stardust seeming to be uncertain among all the other ponies “Be right back” she was gone in a flash and already at Stardust side. “Rainbow Dash I got you this” Fluttershy gave Rainbow Dash her present Rainbow Dash quickly opened it to show a picture of her and Tank when they crossed the line “Wow Fluttershy this is really something” Rainbow Dash put the picture on the table with all the other neat gifts. Wind Note came up to her “Hey Rainbow Dash I got you this, it signed by all the wonderbolts, they apologized for not being here. They all feeling a bit poorly with the feather flu” Wind Note gave the picture of them all together in it and even Wind Note was there and under each was their names signed. “Wait a minute your part of the Wonderbolts!? Seriously!?” Rainbow Dash eyes widened at her disbelief. Wind Note shook his head “Not really, all I do is the planning and such, I still got a long way off to join them in the skies” Wind Note gave his reason for being in the picture “They also forced me to be in the picture saying that I didn’t I would be forced into a solo display… and I didn’t really want to do something like that out of the blue” Wind Note felt a shiver from that Rainbow Dash was laughing a little “They wouldn’t really you know” Rainbow Dash looked at the photo and hugged it “But thank you! I never thought I get all of the autographs of the Wonderbolts” She hugged him and placed it next to Fluttershy’s one. Pinkie Pie standing before Stardust looking up “Wow your really almost as tall as Princess Celestia, you sure your not some princess pretending not to be?” Stardust smiled “I can insure you of that, I been a hard worker for most of my life” Stardust stated “It just that this party is really joyful but I am not quite sure how to fit in since everyo… pony seem to see me as some sort of high authority and it quite nerve-racking to say the least” Stardust opened her wings a little then closed them. Pinkie Pie just kept smiling “Oh come on play a game or two, have a bit of fun lighten up and enjoy yourself like Angel doing” they turn to see her bobbing for apples and pull one out with mouth and every watched cheered as she tossed it up and caught it in her mouth eating it. Stardust closed her eyes then open them “Alright I will give it a try, thank you Pinkie Pie but don’t get me wrong, pink isn’t a colour I like that much but I can make a pass on that with you my friend, thank you again” Stardust leaves to join Angel in the apple bobbing game. “Yippy! I got her smiling, become my friend and have some fun all in one talk! I did good” Pinkie Pie bouncing around in joy. Rarity was the next to give her gift “Here you got Rainbow dear I hope you like it” Rainbow Dash opened it to find a dress similar to the one she had worn “Wow Rarity this is amazing, are those geode crystals on the flank of it?” “Yes they are, Geo Crafter was kind enough to give me some and I made good use of them for you” Rarity said with closed eyes and proud of her handy work. Rainbow Dash smiled “Thank you Rarity I am sure that I will wear it at the next important event or party” Rainbow Dash placed it carefully on the chair then Twilight came up to her. “Let me guess a book?” Twilight gave a nervous look then gives it to her and she opens it “It something I found the other day, it of the legend of the Sonic Rainboom when the first was ever done” Twilight spoke “And also with it is the latest adventure of Daring Do” Rainbow Dash looked at both books a surprise indeed “Wow Twilight you really know how to pick the perfect books for me” “What are friends for” Twilight said with a warm smile “also since we got those fake elements now we get to keep them, how cool is that?” Rainbow Dash smirked “Yeah I know I hung mine on my wall back at home” then she thought about something “talking about friends…” Twilight also noticed “Yeah I haven’t seen any sign of Electuroo” upon speaking it Electuroo came upstairs along with Geo Crafter “Hey Electuroo where you been?” Electuroo breathing a little heavy “Yeah sorry about that had to take the Cutie Mark Crusaders home then met up with Geo Crafter on the way back here” “First time I visiting Ponyville, I must say it more greener then where I live and say that this fair town is really amazingly friendly to strangers” Geo Crafter said then turn to Electuroo “Also why I am here is to give the item Electuroo had paid me to work on an extra special project which took me longer to make then anything I done before, it was pain stacklingly long and suttle to get it just right” Rainbow Dash and everyone else now gone quiet with the music also died down and Pinkie Pie was also thrilled by this “Oh a super birthday gift that explains why Electuroo been helping me out a lot making cup cakes and such for Mrs and Mr Cake” “It also explain why he been helping with hoof and nail back at Apple acres for the last few weeks” Applejack also joined in. Rainbow Dash turn to each of them before anyone else spoke “He helped out in your own jobs for extra coins?” they all nod “Wow I wonder what you got me Electuroo” Rainbow Dash seem to be at odds with this. Rarity smiled “I bet it be something glories” “Yeah and something really something you would never forget” Spike said also as many now wonder what it is. Electuroo put the box down in front of Rainbow Dash and pushed it over with his snout “Well all the extra coins I made went into this so I hope you like it, I never worked so hard in my life to just get one gift for someone before… well truth be told I have a very bad habit of doing it to everyone back when I was human but here this is my first birthday gift to someone so I thought I make it super special being the first” Rainbow Dash looked at it then at him before opening it “You know you didn’t have to get your hooves all tired out just so you can pay out and get me something that cost so much” Rainbow Dash feeling a little guilty over the fact she seen him super busy and now seen why. Stardust laughed and they turned to her “That my son for you. He once spent almost £200 on a present for a friend from far away once” Stardust recalled it “He did a lot of over time to just get the extra coins for the gift” Stardust stared at the box “I still wonder what he got you though” Princess Celestia smiled “Well my little pony open it” Rainbow Dash lift the lid off carefully then inside what she couldn’t believe as she carefully lifted it up with her front hooves and everyone was amazed at what they saw it was of Rainbow Dash doing her Sonic Rainboom frozen in crystal the detail wasn’t perfect but she could tell instantly it was her and the Sonic Rainboom was hers too. Silence was all over as the light from the disco ball reflected off it giving a rainbow colour effect. Rainbow Dash looked at Electuroo with eyes stirring with tears falling soon after “Electuroo this is the most amazing, awesome and coolest gift that anyone could of gotten for me…” She stared at the crystal statue of herself. Electuroo looked away a little “Well from the first time you allow me to experience that Sonic Rainboom with you I wanted to give you something that really would thank you at the bottom of my heart to show my thanks for everything you did for me, if it wasn’t for you” he raised his head looking at her in the eyes. “I wouldn’t be the pony I am today or at least fit in so well… you’re the most amazing pony ever” Wind Note was stunned by this “Wow and I thought the Wonderbolt picture was amazing but that just blows it away compared to that… something like that could never be replaced” Rainbow Dash turn to him from what he had spoken “Your right, I could get autographs from the Wonderbolts any time but this is a one of a kind gift” Rainbow Dash put it on the table and gave Electuroo the biggest hug ever and he returned it. “Aww isn’t that cute” Pinkie Pie spoke with a tilted head “Go on kiss!” Both of their eyes opened instantly and turn to her yelling out together “Kiss!? You can’t be serious!” she jumped back at this. Twilight slap her hoof on her forehead “What a way to kill the moment Pinkie Pie” “Wh-what did I say?” Pinkie Pie looking at them all “It true isn’t it? They care for other a lot I seen it and you have to” Twilight gasped “Wh-what no I haven’t so they very much alike it doesn’t mean they that much alike… I mean erm…” Twilight felt a bit put on the spot now. Rainbow Dash gagged “Oh come on we close friends and yeah I know we fused other signature moves together to make something really 20% cooler but doesn’t mean we in love, come on!” Electuroo also spoke in turn “I have to agree so we work together on the weather and we did combined our moves and shared our personal unique experiences together doesn’t mean that we in love” Electuroo and Rainbow Dash looked to each then back at the others. “Well it seems that you featherheads putting yourselves on the spot without your friends help” the voice made everyone turn to see no other then Goldenmare standing there eating cake. Princess Celestia and Luna moved in on her “Your not welcomed!” Pinkie Pie came right in front of them and her pointing a hoof at Goldenmare “You golden meanie wasn’t invited so get out!” she points a hoof to the stairs. “Indeed I am not” she replied after swallowing “But I am in no condition to fight either” “I can tell your sweating which mean your teleporting is short ranged and your low on energy” Celestia took note “I should have you taken in but I don’t see any reason how I could since you most likely would escape like that golden prison of yours” “Tia you sure about this she is evil” Princess Luna felt that something should be done. Goldenmare smirked “Indeed I am, no amount of your elements will change my ways, as the saying goes my ways are craved in stone” she took a drink of the apple cider “Nice cider.” She clears her throat “Reason being here… I came to say thank you for a entreating battle and congratulate you on your victory over me, I never expected so much magic thrown at me like that. For a second I thought I was truly a goner but lucky for me and my stallions I casted a shield spell around us Just as that attack hit us” “Still doesn’t explain why show up now” Rainbow Dash yelled at her. “Just to let you know that I was just testing your strengths and now I know what I be facing. The next time won’t be so easy” Goldenmare trots over to the window and smirked “Goodbye for now and lets meet again at the battle of good and evil. I look forward to that” then in a flash she was gone. Electuroo turn to the DJ Pon-3 “Lets get the party going again!” “Right on! This party need to be liven up and boggy!” Vinyl yelled out She smirked and put the music back on and at the same time Electuroo and Rainbow Dash thought “You have perfect timing Goldenmare” but still Rainbow Dash looked to the gift that Electuroo got for her and no matter what she thought it was just stunning beyond words then thought about leaving it be and get on with having fun at her birthday party Throughout the night everypony was enjoying the evening at Rainbow Dash’s birthday party and having a great time with lots of games and fun just chilling as well. Shining Armour also enjoyed this free time he had with his sister too and throughout the rest of the party they made sure to enjoy every moment before he went back to Canterlot in the morning with Celestia and Luna to resume his duties as Captain of the guard before returning to the Crystal Empire filling in for the new captain whom was ill currently and good friend to Shining Armour.
