//------------------------------// // (The crazy Arc) Behold the carrot of the wise guidance! Part 1 // Story: Too Much Randomness // by xluferx //------------------------------// Ponyville was as always the little town which is supposed to be. Ponyville. Anyways, the usual stuff was over there and there too; pegasi flying around, mud earth ponies walking around, unicorns also walking around and of course the shop owners trying to sell their stuff; like a merchant would do…. Lesson learned for All Zeppelins, never trust a merchant that has resemblance with the merchant from resident evil because he might not have what you are looking for. Is just logic! For our group of partially mid-time heroes they were already leaving behind the literally tree house which also worked as a library, so they could head to the new residence that was granted by our beautiful and beloved the great and shiny King Knight or also known as Big Me or Big Zeppelin. “I’m actually surprised that our ponies don’t see anything odd from this.” The little white alicorn spoke as she kept glancing around still feeling a bit nervous that any time they will be busted. “Well prin…” Right she couldn’t use her real name so freely in front of so many invading ears “…Celly, there are no pictures recorded when you and…Woona were just fillies.” Twilight Sparkle the prized student of the ex-princess found it difficult to refer her directly with so much informality. “Actually there are pictures but they are very well hidden in place where we only known its location.” Celly remarked feeling glad of what she did when she did it, sometimes the past can come back only to bite you in the ass or in this case plot; and other times the past decisions resulted to be very beneficial in the current present. “Are we there yet?” Spike suddenly entered the exchange of words between the filly and mare. Twilight help but give him a deadpan expression. “Spike, we had been walking like a minute long.” “Are we there yet?” As expected Mini-Zeppelin joined forces with the little drake. “Really?” Twilight thought that it would be better if she just plainly told that they haven’t arrived though… “Fair Twilight Sparkle have we reached our destination?” Luna you traitor! Twilight was rendered speechless with Luna siding with them, at least she has her mentor withg her … Right? RIGHT?! “Excuse me Twilight but I also want to know if we are close to arrive.” Is four against one; is not fair at all. This was worse than dealing with her pink friend! “Are we there yet?” “No.” “Are we there yet?” “Nooooo.” “Are we there yet?” “Nope.” “Are we there yet?” “….” “Are we there yet?” “….” “…” This situation was for cry the frustration out of you. Does that even make sense? Where is the fun in make sense? “SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…..” “Are we there yet?” “OH MY GOSH FOR THE LOVE THAT EVERY IS SACRED IN THIS WORLD YES!!!!” “HURRRRRRAAH!” It was collective celebration from the four companions that spend the entire walk annoying Twilight until she snapped. “KAMARADE FRIEND DOG PUTIN WE HAVE REACHED THE HEART OF THE ENEMY!!” That Russian accent was so bad pretended that it was actually funny to hear, however that didn’t help in Twilight current demeanor; her hair was going up since the stress that the four them were causing was even more when she had to write a friendship letter before the time was up. It was time to put an end to this no sense and set the things straight. However the moment she turned she never expected to happen what just happened in front of her very eyes. “FOR THE KAMARADELAND, HURRRRRAAAAAAH!!” There were they. All of them wearing a particular hat which judging by its look was made for winter, and it was curently spring. And by the way she actually lied about arriving. “ORDER KAPOOTIS 7 HAS BEEN APPLIED, NO RETREAT!” Mini-Zeppelin despite being so small he had surely a strong voice. “HURRRRRAAAAAAAAH!” The other comrades joined in the battle cry and charged straight headed to the candy shop where Sweet Drops work, but she prefers to go by Bon Bon since those candies are her specialty. Twilight again was left behind by a trail of dust; the defeat couldn’t taste more…like dirt. “OH MY GOSH I’M SOSSOOSOSOSOSOSO SORRY!” The purple unicorn was practically begging for forgiveness for the actions of the four demons. Yes she was also refereeing both princesses as demons. “ARRRGH! KEEP FIGHTING COMRADES!!!!” Mini-Zeppelin shouted with his last breath before finally falling unconscious taking with him another jar filled with more candies made of candies. “And that jar will also be added to the account.” Bon Bon plainly said her face couldn’t describe how pissed she was with them. “NAY THESE TREATS ARE BESTING US!!!!” Little Woona shouted before falling asleep between the mountains of half eaten rainbow pallets which some of them were glued to her coat of fur and sadly her mane, removing them will be so much of a problem for future Woona. Spike crawled all the way where his caretaker was currently hearing the price of all the damages done. “I thought….that I was stronger…” Then he fell defeated. The defeat tasted like sugar. And it was sweet… But the bad way of sweetness. “IS NOT FAIR!!!!” Windows were broken and they contained Bon Bon’s sugar reserves, reserves which were drastically being depleted thanks to the holes which were made by little Celly who was totally stuck on her place by the constant waterfall of sweetness and defeat. Only her head remained untouched while the rest of her body was already buried by the evil sweetness of the sugar power. She could eat her way out but doing so might get her bad teeth and probably a terrible tummy ache thing which she didn’t desire. “Now that they have thankfully calmed down let’s get into the damages repair.” Bon Bon wasn’t a bad pony but what they did to her shop was totally unprovoked and she deserved a compensation for such act against her. She carefully checked her entire mess of a shop, candies laid wasted or half eaten, windows broken and for some reason Lyra was hanging like a piñata, but worry not! She wasn’t harmed at all since the four little guys just danced around her with Tiki mask made of candies which then proceeded to eat. “Hey girls can you please help me?” The UNICORN called for aid. Bon Bon looked up with a deadpan expression, such face clearly said that she didn’t want to hear any kind of joke or mess around; it was serious business. “Get yourself down with your magic Lyra.” “Oh right…” Embarrassment was understandable in her point of view; though a little help of a friend is always welcomed. “Anyways in total the entire sum will be…” Insert suspense silence here. “One thousand five hundreds bits.” “B-but that almost one third of my life savings…” One couldn’t believe her at first since she technically is a noble (her family could easily afford the expensive school in whole Equestria for crying out loud!), and also is/was the prized student of the princess. But what they didn’t know is that Twilight didn’t want to be dependant of her family fortune and wanted to raise her own fortune by herself using her abilities and intellect so yeah… That amount is not only a cold shower but a direct punch to her face. “Look I need to repair my shop as soon as possible so you can pay me the repairs for now and that would be…” The earth pony checked the list before speaking “Nine hundred bits.” It still didn’t bring her any comfort, with that amount of money she was thinking to buy new research equipment and new set of books yet she wouldn’t be able to do it until she could recover that amount of money. If it wasn’t by the fact that she has some pride still left in her she would have cried on the spot. “L-let’s go to the bank.” After Bon Bon received the money she left without saying goodbyes, she was still angry at them. Our heroes were left behind but in bad health conditions; they would have been sick for days if Zecora wasn’t around with her witchery vodoo magic, however it didn’t come for free too. It could be said that day Twilight was one thousand bits less rich. “Fear not Twilight Sparkle!” Little Woona now feeling better spoke with her head hold in pride. “We shall return your lost riches as soon as possible.” Twilight immediately turned with her eyes sparking with hope and happiness “REALLY?!” Besides the anger that she was going to experience was fading. “Of course! That amount will not harm the royal treasury at all.” However Spike had to ruin the moment. “Umm, if I remember correctly you aren’t a princess anymore.” Silence. “In other words any of you can access the royal treasury.” “…” “…” “…” “The four of you, RUN.”
