//------------------------------// // Mothball learns his lesson // Story: Mothball pranks the ponies // by CAPTAIN YOSHI HD //------------------------------// Screwball was feeding a squirrel a nut. She turned and gasped, the squirrel ran away, her whole family were standing in front of her. "What's going on?", she asked. "Are you part of the whole pranking thing, Screwy?", Thunder asked. "Kind of.", the pink pony answered. "Why?" "Because, it needs to stop.", Apple Blossom said. "What, why?", Screwball asked. "Anypony should deserve a good prank, besides Mothy got me." Screwball was in her room walking over to her closet. She opens it and sees a pony with a no-face mask jumping on her scaring her. The pony removes his mask and reveals his face, it was Mothball. She giggled as she looked at his face. "He got me good." "I vote we prank him back.", Cinnamon Roll suggested. "Prank him back?", Screwball said. "I don't know about that. Daddy, why didn't you stop them?" "I tried, they won't listen.", Discord said. "Screwy, trust us, this prank will make him learn his lesson.", Cinnamon Stick said. Screwball sighed. "Alright.", she said. "But, I don't have a good feeling about this." "What should we do?", Thunder asked. Mothball snuck out of the bushes and levitated an ice cube over his head. "Let's try to make it cold as a..." Then, the ice cube fell in his mane. "...ice cube!" He started jumping around as the ice cube melted in his mane. The changeling boy ran into Sugar Cube Corner. He tilted his head and the ice cube fell out. He scowled. "This is the last darn straw.", he said. "I saw him go into Sugar Cube Corner, I saw the hang a bucket of water near the door, and when he opens it, the bucket will tip over and pours on him.", Soarin said. "I down for that.", Pinkie Pie said. She grabbed a bucket out of her tail and filled it with water. Rarity used her magic to hang it by the door. "How are we going to get him out?", Rarity asked. "I'll tell him, but, through the window.", Screwball said. She went over to the window and opened it, she leaned in. "Hey, Mothy, we have a surprise for you outside." "That's nice.", Mothball said. "But, why are peeking in the window but not the door?" "I didn't want you to peek behind me.", Screwball said. "That's a good point.", Mothball said as he opened the door a little bit. He opened the door all the way, the bucket tipped over and water poured on him. He got wet and screamed. The whole family started laughing. "We got you good.", Cherry laughed. "Oh, it's so cold.", Mothball said as the water dripped off his body. "What was that for?" "That's what you get for pranking us so much.", Blueberry laughed. "Is this a prank, is this all your idea?", Mothball asked. "It sure is.", Raspberry laughed. "Just to teach you a lesson." "So, this was a prank to teach me a lesson?", Mothball asked. "About what?" "What happened today.", Gem Stone said. "What do you mean what-- Oh, I see what's going on.", Mothball said. "So, you guys did this because I pranked you all too much?" "Yes, it's okay to prank somepony if they liked being pranked and thinks it's funny, but, it isn't if it's mean.", Twilight said explaining the lesson. "I guess I didn't listen if you wanted me to stop pranking.", Mothball said feeling guilty. "I'm sorry, everypony. Can you all forgive me?" "Of we do, Darling.", Rarity said. "I guess you finally learned your lesson.", Aqua Fresh said. "And you all pulled a very good prank.", Mothball remarked. "We sure did.", Pinkie said. "Well, everypony, clear the street.", Fluttershy said. Mothball snuck to a huge ice cube covered by a towel. The cinnamon siblings, the wonderbolt twins, the tripies, and Screwball went over to him. "Mothy, what are you doing?", Screwy asked. "We thought you learned your lesson." "I know, but, I'm going to pull my last prank on Discord.", Mothball whispered. "I want to get him back after the electrocution on me. So, I'm making him sit on this giant ice cube." "Hmm, I'm sure he'll love it.", Thunder whispered. "I'm sure he will.", Mothball said. "Hey, Discord, come over here and have a seat." Discord went over to his seat. "Why thank you, I really needed it.", he said. Mothball removed the towel before Discord sits on it. "Uh... Mothball, is it just me or this seat cold as an ICE CUBE!" He jumped off, started screaming, and ran around the street like a chicken. Mothball started cracking up. The others started laughing as well as the draconequus runs around with a cold butt.
