Are you in the mood?
It was a lovely afternoon when Sweetie Belle knocked at Twilight’s door happily.
“Yes? Oh, Sweetie, what brings you here? Please don’t tell me is Twilight time again”
Sweetie giggled and shrugged.
“No, that was for spying on you Twilight, but since you already know who we are, what’s the point? No, I’m here for a little of ‘Spike Time’. Is he here? We’re supposed to meet at this hour”
Twilight smiled and let the filly pass, she always thought Spike’s little crush for Rarity was kind of cute; but now that he and Sweetie were together, she was happy for him. Anypony could notice from miles how much they cared for each other, even if it was Sweetie who took the initiative most of the time and was a little more energetic than him.
“He’s on his room as always, knowing him he prepared everything for your date already”
Sweetie thanked her and ran upstairs to meet Spike, who effectively already prepared everything: drinks, snacks and a big mirror that was showing the image of Princess Celestia… in a lab? What she was up to?
One of the scientists offered Celestia some kind of candy.
“Here you go your Majesty, we’ve analyzed the sample you gave us and created a non-harmful version of the Pinkinensis virus; mixed in the components of this candy. After months of investigation, I think we’re ready”
Celestia nodded satisfied and took the candy with her magic.
“It is time, let’s see if I’m cured”
And she tasted it and smiled delighted.
“Delicious! MORE!”
So she took another, and another, and another while she cried of joy for this reencounter with her old friends and favorite meal of the day.
And while she kept going eating candy after candy, Spike and Sweetie were observing the scene really interested in how this will end… and after five minutes Princess spited out the last candies she ate.
“NO! This isn’t fair! Just right the prototypes of the candy of all candies, the effect is only temporary!”
“But look at the bright side, Your Majesty, today it last five entire minutes; we’re getting closer to the final solution!”
Celestia sighed but nodded, yeah, progress was progress.
The two observers didn’t know if they should laugh or feel sorry for the Princess’ obsession.
“So, after today’s idea why don’t you send her a cart of your candies? She looks like she needs it badly”
“Sure. You know? I never thought Twilight’s obsessive behavior and nervous breakdowns were learnt from her”
Sweetie shrugged thoughtful and then she looked her watch.
“Okay, it’s time for fun!”
Spike grinned evilly and clacking his fingers releasing the black and purple energy of Chaos.
Twilight was busy organizing books for the library and filling documents, times like this proved her than she seriously needed a new assistant since she was about to fell sleep. In order to stay awake during the chore she looked for the radio’s remote, some music was what she needed.
“Okay, according to Spike this worked for him, I hope it works for me as well. Anyway”
She pressed the button but nothing happened. She raised an eyebrow and checked if the batteries were fine, they were, so she tried again this time checking on the volume. Still nothing happened, with the radio at least…
In Spike’s room the couple smiled when the enchanted mirror showed Princess Luna’s study where she was relaxing reading the letters from her especial friend Pipsqueak, something to regain her strength for the other half of the day.
But suddenly Celestia along with several Solar Guards leaded by Captain Master Sword barged in. And strangely enough Master Sword was trembling.
“Bu-bu-but your Hi-Hi-Highness, why-don’t-we recon-con-sider? I’m scared, I don’t want to fight your sister, she scares me, LET ME RUN AWAY! Oh, I get it, I left something in the oven, if you excuse me I m-mm-must fl-fl-flee!”
Celestia glared at him.
“Shut up Master Sword. Luna! I’ve checked on your mailbox and you have much more fans letters than Me. How dare you to steal my fans? I bring them day, I’m the most important pony of the world! I demand you to give me back my little ponies’ love right now!”
Luna raised an eyebrow and looked back to her letters.
“Ha-ha, good one; you made your prank, now can you leave? After this I must take care of a press conference of how the Undercover Police took care of the Ponytalian Mafia; reorganize Black Swordsman’s schedule for his training with the Shadow Bolts and finish my…”
“See? EVEN YOUR MILITARY AND SPY UNITS HAVE MORE PUBLICITY THAN MINE! I won’t allow you to keep everypony’s attention, it must be the one who the ponies worship. Master Sword, arrest my sister under the charges of thievery. She stole my fans!”
Luna looked at her sister with concern, what was wrong with her today?
However Master Sword didn’t seemed to be a fan of the idea.
“Please, don’t make me arrest your sister! I’m scared, scared, scared me! SHE SCARES ME!”
Celestia glared at her and he took his sword gulping.
“I will, I will but stop looking at me because you’re scaring me! I’m afraid, you’re terrifying!” Cried the soldier.
Before Luna could offer him something to drink to calm his nerves, Master Sword advanced trembling to Luna, when suddenly a black sword came out from the shadows and placed its tip on the soldier’s neck. Master Sword dropped his Master Sword and ran to hide behind Celestia.
“No please! Don’t make me face the Black Swordsman and the Lighting Flash! Their strength is monstrous, they’re not scary, they’re fucking terrifying! LET ME OUT OF HERE PLEASE! LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT!”
Black Swordsman and Lighting Flash exchanged a confused look with their boss.
“What are we supposed to do?” Asked Lighting.
“No idea… Master Sword, can I offer you some tea? Or whisky or something to calm you down? Or why don’t you go to a hospital. Guys, escort him!”
Master Sword paled.
“Hospital? No, please don’t! NEEDLES, COLD HOOVES MOVING ALL OVER MY BODY, NURSES!! Hospitals scare me, please don’t make me go!!”
Back in Twilight’s Palace, the purple alicorn went to Spike’s room where him and Sweetie were rolling at the floor laughing.
“Ahahahahahah! Who haves Master Sword’s remote, Spike?” Asked Sweetie looking at the trembling soldier.
Spike had to calm down a little to smile to his marefriend.
“That’s the funniest part! Anypony have no idea who controls who! Except for Twilight that have Princess Celestia’s and your sister…”
Hearing this, Twilight frowned and checked the remote she tried to use on her radio before; it said CELESTIA written on the back with bright golden letters. How she didn’t noticed it?
“Spike! What do you think you’re doing? What’s this thing and why I have it?”
The two kids laughed even louder.
Twilight frowned irritated, she hated when the agents of chaos ignored her like that.
“Press another button Twilight! This is getting good” smiled Sweetie between her laughs.
Not knowing why, Twilight obeyed.
In Spike’s mirror, the image of Celestia changed her expression all of sudden replacing her anger with tears.
“Luna! What have I done? I almost make you arrest because of my stupid jealousy! What kind of monster I am doing something like this to my sweet little sister? No Luna, we’ll be forever together my beloved little sister! I love you Luna and I always will”
Luna gulped nervously, seriously; what was going on with Celestia?
And suddenly her older sister hugged her with all her strength.
“FOREVER TOGETHER LUNA! FOREVER TOGETHER!”
Sweetie and Spike laughed again; and suddenly Princess Luna froze for a few seconds and returned Celestia’s hug with tears on her eyes as well.
“OH MY DEAR SISTER! I WAS AFRAID YOU WERE MAD AT ME FOR SOMETHING I DID! YOU ARE THE BEST SISTER IN THE WORLD TIA, AND I ALWAYS TRY TO BE LIKE YOU BUT I CAN’T!! I LOVE YOU SISTER!”
And the two alicorns stayed on Luna’s office crying out loud much for their soldier’s confusion.
“Ey Spike, who haves Princess Luna’s remote?” Asked Sweetie.
“There’s no way to know” chuckled Spike.
“Fine, who else have an interesting mood today?”
Twilight face-hoofed annoyed.
“Come on Spike! This could be dangerous! Control emotions randomly? What are you thinking?”
But suddenly she froze.
“Oh no! Who controls who? WHO CONTROLS ME?! How can I save the day if I have no control? OH NO, I MUST GO SAVE EQUESTRIA! But how? EQUESTRIA IS DOOMED! Doomed forever, NOOOOOOO!”
And ran away victim of her panic attack.
Spike and Sweetie saw her running and got back to their laughing. Effectively, this prank will be hard to break.
Meanwhile in a small café in Canterlot, Rarity was looking carefully at the remote she had, with the sign BLUE BLOOD on it; and with it, a small note from Sweetie Belle.
Here, a little favor from your little sist. Black.
Rarity sighed, it seemed like she had a long day before her; so she decided to enjoy while she could, and it was when she noticed that everypony around had the same remotes as her.
“I have a bad feeling about this” mumbled Rarity.
She noticed how another costumer of the café pressed one of the buttons on his remote and luckily the waiter attending Rarity froze for a few seconds and began to throw sugar at all the costumers.
“Ey!” Complained Rarity at such discourtesy.
“What? Don’t you like to be looked down by anypony? Welcome to my world miss ‘important’ client. You can go to hell, you and every fucking pony in here!”
The same costumer who had the waiter’s remote pressed a button again; and one more time the waiter froze for a few seconds and his mood changed.
“Oh what a wonderful day! Who asked for the cappuccino? Right now my friend! Serve cappuccinos makes me so happy!”
And he went to the kitchen dancing happily; when the customer pressed a button again.
“NOOO! WHY? WHY IS THIS WORLD SO UNFAIR? WHY DO WE HAVE TO KILL THE POOR UNBORN COFEE PLANTS BY BURNING ITS BEANS TO THEN GRIND THEM, BOIL THEM AND DRINK THEM! WHYYYYYYYY? COFFEE BEANS HAVE HOPES AND DREAMOS TOO!
The other guests looked at the waiter confused, until somepony joined to the waiter’s cries.
“Sweet Celestia! It’s true! We’re monsters, horrible coffee-killer monsters! WHY WE DO THIS? WHY THE COFFEE HAVE TO BE THIS DELICIOUS?”
Suddenly another guest stood and shrieked in horror.
“Look at the menu! There’s strawberry shortcake! But no, I wanted to try chocolate and asked it before even check on the menu; why I was thinking? Strawberries are great, but on the other hoof chocolate is chocolate… what’s happening with me? Why I can’t make a decision?”
Another pony on the table suddenly stood as well and after throw the bits at the table he ran out of the restaurant.
“Oh no, no, no, NO! my lunch break finishes in half an hour, there’s no time to lose!
At this point Rarity had seen enough.
“Control the ponies’ state of mind with a remote? Okay, clever, but not today Spikey-Wikey; sorry but I have better things to do than being a pawn in your pranks”
She took a golden ticket from her purse and following the instructions on the back, she touched it with her horn. The ticket glowed and banished while Rarity sat to enjoy a relaxing afternoon.
In Ponyville Spike shivered.
“Something happened Spike?” Asked Sweetie Bell.
“Nothing to worry about, remember when we have Rarity special tickets to not be affected by my pranks? She finally used them”
Sweetie nodded and he kept looking for another pony with an entertaining state of mind.
…
Pinkie Pie was about to make the first treats for the morning when like everypony else froze for a few seconds. This time the change was much more visible: her mane deflated passing from curly to straight, her coat turned grayer and her usually cheerful smile turned somehow sinister and evil.
“Pinkie Pie?” Asked Mr. Cake looking at his friend.
Pinkie’s evil smile grew widener and she relished her lips in delight. She seemed disturbed, advancing slowly and threatening to Mr. Cake.
“What shall we bake today bossy-boss? Cupcakes! Delicious cupcakes with the extra especial recipe I brought from the psychiatric hospital several years ago!”
Mr. Cake gulped.
“From the kitchen?”
“Nope, from one of the doctors. So wanna try Doctor Lecter’s special recipe for cupcakes? Come on bossy-boss. Life is a party!”
Mr. Cake ran to escape for his life when he also froze for half of a second and began to bang his chest as an ancient warrior taking a fountain as a shield.
“On guard you little psycho! I, Captain Equestria, Champion of Justice I’m ready to destroy you!”
They both looked to the eyes for a few seconds and started an incredible fight where Mr. Cake showed unique ability by throwing his moulds with such technique that they returned to him every time.
“How did you learnt to throw things as Captain Equestria?”
“He’s my childhood hero, little psycho”
Pinkie Pie spited to the ground trying to fight him; damn, why he had to be this hard to catch? The worst part was that she needed Mr. Cake to get the secret ingredients of the Lecter Cupcakes.
Then the kitchen door opened letting pass Ms. Cake who could not stop laughing.
“Ahahahahahahahaha! Unbelievable for Celestia! Hahahahahahahahaha! This is the best fight ever, hahahahaha! Pinkie suddenly a psycho killer? Hahahahahahah! It can’t be, is so funny! Come on, say something psychotic please!”
Pinkamena raised an eyebrow.
“Cupcakes?”
Miss Cake laughed twice as loud.
“Great, hahahahahaha! She said cup and then said cakes, hahahahahaha! Who writes your lines? They sound so psychotic, hahahahahaha! This is so great. Now you say something heroic dear”
Mr. Cake was equally confused but nodded.
“I’ll stop you little psycho!”
“Ahahahahahahahaha! Great, it sound like a real hero, my hero hahahahahahahahaha!”
Suddenly they froze at the same time and Pinkie went back to normal along with miss Cake; but Mr. Cake seemed really angry.
“Again Pinkie Pie? I told you we were in a hurry! But what you do? You start playing! Come on, let’s go back to work! And what are you laughing at, Cuppy?!”
In their observatory Spike and Sweetie seemed a little worried.
“Spike, your remotes doesn’t create moods, right?” Asked Sweetie with a shiver.
“Nope, only switch between what’s already there. When this finishes, we must tell Twilight Pinkie needs to change the dose of her meds again”
They both wrote it down and kept watching.
Apple Bloom was having the time of her life holding her laughs trying to not to be found by Big Mac while she was hiding on his closet.
“More tea, Smarty Pants?” Asked the big red stallion.
You know it Big Mac. I love your apple tea.
“It’s my pleasure Smarty Pants. Milk and sugar?”
Your tea is delicious on its own, thank you very much; answered the doll.
Downstairs, Applejack threw away the dessert Granny Smith gave her before go back to work.
“Apples! Apples every day! Apples, apples, apples! I know we produce them but we suppose to sell them, not eat them! I’m so fucking tired of this apples, this time I’ll go for a pear!”
Granny Smith walked to her seeming threatening.
“Applejack! If you dare to touch the Forbidden Fruit I swear you’ll be dead to me; and I’ll never tell you the secret of the apple pie recipe that passes only from mothers to daughters or grandmothers to granddaughters”
Yeah, the old mare seemed really pissed off but like everypony else she froze for half of an instant and her anger became resignation.
“Who am I fooling? I would love to be brave as you and taste a pear. Oh the forbidden fruit! I’ve been listening stories and legends about the evilness of pears since I was little, but being honest with me I always wanted to have one! Applejack wait, I’ll join you in your quest”
Inside her hideout (and with the help of her chaotically increased senses) Apple Bloom heard the whole scene. Okay, her family were more complicated what it seemed. And how had their remotes anyway?
…
Back with Rarity, she kept seeing the ponies changing their moods all of sudden everywhere; honestly it was kind of annoying.
For example she was in the modern art museum admiring the new work of Jazz Jones when suddenly the curator abandoned his serious temple and stood right before Rarity with a Pinkie Pie-styled smile.
“Can I help you?”
“Well yeah, I was staying here thinking how boring was the museum and I saw you here alone surely as bored as I am so I thought we can spice up this yawning gallery. Let’s play hide and seek, you count!”
And ran giggling happily while Rarity face-hoofed.
“Okay that was stupid”
She kept walking around the museum when she bumped into Blue Blood.
“Oh, Rarity! Enjoying a cultural afternoon? I’m glad to see you”
At this point Rarity was prepared for the worst but she was truly relieved to see it was her friend.
“Blue? Are you in your normal self?”
“Yeah, and it’s great to see I’m not the only one. Do you have any idea what’s going on here?”
Rarity sighed.
“Yeah, a bad joke from our beloved Lord of Chaos” she said showing him her remote. “It has something to do with this remotes. Mmmh, I wonder…Blue Blood, do you mind if I try a little something with you? I’ll turn you back to normal in a minute”
“Of course Rarity, do as you please”
Then Rarity pressed a button and after he froze for a second and then he changed his confused expression for one of pure adoration.
“Oh miss Rarity Belle, you’re the most beautiful pony I ever seen! The most glamorous, the nicer and the most beautiful… oh you’re a great friend, you have no idea how is a breath of fresh air to have you as a friend of my true self. I don’t think I can survive without your smile Rarity Belle. I know we know each other from very little and is selfish for me to wish to be more than a mere friend for you; I’ve been thinking on you all this time, and forgive me if I’m being too formal but I can’t act any other way when I see you”
Rarity blushed furiously, she was kind of happy to hear that from Blue Blood; but this wasn’t the time to think about this, but her little experiment so she pressed another button from the remote.
“OOOH! WHY ME? WHY THE FUCK ME? ALL I WANTED IN LIFE WAS BEING A GREAT ACTOR! I wanted to be on the scenario giving life to timeless characters, but then what happened with me? My scenario is my life and instead of being loved by everypony all I get is hate; and precisely because I’m doing a hell of a job! WHEN CAN I STOP BEING A JERK?”
Rarity pressed another button, now feeling sorry for the stallion.
“But why I am complaining, huh? I’m a hero after all, a true hero! I don’t get any recognition but what matters is that I keep Equestria safe from psychos as Maud Pie and as long as my true friends know my true self, that’s all I ask. Because on the bottom on my heart I love being a champion of justice”
Rarity raised an eyebrow and pressed another button, this time making him go back to normal.
“I’ll appreciate you stop doing that Rarity” Blue Blood complained actually angry. “Is like you switch between all your moods, from the most obvious ones to the more repressed”
Rarity blushed again.
“So what you said first was true, Blue Blood?
The prince blushed too but managed to keep his dignity.
“Ehem… sorry about that. I know our first encounter wasn’t pleasant and I must be okay with your friendship but I cannot help but feeling this way about you. Sorry if I bothered you Rarity and I’ll understand if you don’t want to see me again”
“You know Blue Blood? I kind of like you too, your true self I mean. Why don’t we take advantage that we’re the only two ponies being normal and have a date?”
Blue Blood blushed even more.
“Ehem, are you sure you aren’t affected by this prank as well?”
Rarity just nodded happily,
“Pretty sure Blue. Let’s say Spike owes me a favor, seven favors to be precise and today I used the first. Besides I’ll take the example from my little sister by taking the initiative. So would you go out with me, Blue Blood?”
“I’ll love to Rarity”
Much for Blue’s surprise, Rarity nuzzled at him and smiled. Pleased and still confused he walked with her to enjoy Canterlot at a new perspective.
They decided to have a walk by the public area of the Palace Gardens when Rarity realized something.
“Blue, do you have a remote too?”
“Right, I forgot I had one as well. Yes”
He took it from his jacket’s pocket and examined it.
“Pinkie Pie. She’s a friend of yours, right?”
Rarity nodded and knowing it was something dangerous, Blue Blood carefully placed his remote back on his jacket not noticing he pressed a button by accident…
…
Rainbow Dash opened her eyes slowly, where was she? It seemed like a dark basement who-knows-where. And apparently she was tied to a stretcher with very resistant steel locks.
And right before her, the demented version of Pinkie walked to her with a sadistic smile.
“Aw, did I woke you up Dashie? Sorry about that, how was your nap?”
“Pinkie Pie? What are you doing? Weren’t we suppose to make cupcakes?”
Pinkamena laughed crazily.
“And we will Dashie, oh we will. Precisely I’m about to get the main ingredient of my Lecter cupcakes. Life is a party, you know?”
Rainbow began to sweat coldly when she saw Pinkie taking a scalpel. She tried to release but Pinkie had tied her very well.
She began to scream.
“LET ME OUT PINKIE PIE! LET ME OUT! PONIES WILL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME! WHEN CLOUDS INVADE EQUESTRIA THEY’LL KNOW I’M MISSING!”
“Are you sure dear?” Chuckled cruelly Pinkamena. “Come on, there are a lot of pegasi out there; you’re not irreplaceable dummy. Now if you allow me…”
Rainbow froze for a few second and suddenly she began to laugh loudly much for Pinkamena’s surprise. Laughs and more laughs that began to annoy Pinkie Pie.
“SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR CELESTIA’S SAKE!”
“Ahahahahahahahaha! Psycho Pinke, that’s a great one! Come on Pinkie, tell me something psychotic”
Pinkamena’s eye twitched, not another one please!
“Rainbow Dash…”
“AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! That’s my name, but in a very psychotic way, it sounded sooooo cool, come on say something else, hahahahahahahaha!!”
Pinkie Pie threw her scalpel away.
“Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP! I’M A PSYCHO KILLER, I’M ABOUT TO BAKE YOU IN A CUPCAKE, AREN’T YOU EVEN A LITTLE SCARED?!”
“AHAHAHAHAHAHA! You’re killing me Pinkie Pie! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!”
Pinkie Pie took back the scalpel.
“You’re right, I’m killing you right now!”
And she walked closer and closer to her ‘victim’ getting her scalpel dangerously closer to Rainbow’s Cutie Mark, but rainbow kept laughing irritatingly.
“DAMN IT SHUT UP FOR FIVE SECONDS! IT’S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO WORK IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCES!” Shouted Pinkamena in exasperation, how she supposed to concentrate in slaughtering a pony if the pony kept laughing.
“Sorry Pinkie Pie, but you are so crazy that… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Pinkie Pie shouted in anger and began to bang her head against the wall.
“WHY DON’T YOU CRY FOR MERCY? OR SCREAM OR SOMETHING!! I CAN’T STAND LAUGHTER IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS!”
A black and purple flash appeared in the middle of the room and Sweetie Black and the Lord of Chaos Spike stood in the middle of the room.
“You know Rainbow Dash once hit her head so hard that she ended up with a small lesion in the frontal lobe causing her to have an distorted sense of danger? That’s why she always goes so far looking for adrenaline” explained Spike. “You won’t scare her no matter how hard you try Pinkie Pie, not in a million years”
Pinkamena’s eyes widened in realization and released Rainbow Dash (who was still laughing) in annoyance.
“Why didn’t you tell me first? How I supposed to concentrate if the victim keeps laughing instead of begging me for her life? It’s impossible to kill in this circumstances!”
Then she turned her sinister expression to the visitors.
“So I suppose I can have a decent panic reaction from you, right Spike? Sweetie Black?”
Black and Spike exchanged a look and detonated a Harmony Grenade to the two mares. They both froze for a few seconds and went back to normal.
“Uh that was intense” giggled Pinkie pie. “Thanks kids”
“Thanks?” Said Rainbow angrily. “Are you serious? You almost kill me because of them and you thank you for that? What’s wrong with you Pinkie?”
“Besides the obvious?” Mumbled Black to Spike.
Still Pinkie nodded happily.
“Excactly! This was a wake-up call. First I need to get revaluated to change my dose of antipsychotics aaand, I must stop seeing doctor Lecter, there’s something odd about him”
They better changed the subject and went out of Pinkie Pie’s secret basement.
“So what now? Shall we stop this?” Asked Dash.
“If you want” shrugged Black. “But just have in mind that you’ll need to use Rainbow Power all over Equestria and there’s no guarantee that the six of you are in conditions to use it”
Rainbow sighed but she went to get some Grenades and look for her friends.
She found Flutterhy’s animals all hidden on their nests while their owner terrorized them with her Stare.
“I hear disorder! You better clean that up or…”
Rainbow approached calmly.
“Hi Fluttershy”
Fluttershy Stared at her.
“What are you doing here? Don’t you see I’m busy with my pets? Leave now!”
Rainbow simply took the Stare-proof glasses she borrow from Scoots and then the Grenade that she detonated making Fluttershy go back to normal.
“Oh Rainbow Dash… oh no! What have I done? I’m so sorry my dears, I swear I won’t do again! What I was thinking, what I was thinking?”
Her animals hugged her making clear it was all forgiven. Rainbow Dash sighed.
“Whatever, let’s go for the others and stop Spike for good. I don’t think Pinkie is the only pony with psychiatric problems wandering around”
“What do you mean?”
“Never mind, let’s move!”
They found Applejack eating pear after pear and shouting pests about apples (along with Granny Smith much for Apple Bloom’s delight) and Twilight panicking under a desk. After making them go back to normal, they were ready to stop this.
“So where’s Rarity?”
“I heard she went to Canterlot for inspiration”
“Great, just great”
What else could they do but jump to the first train to Canterlot? And in the meantime everypony were victim of their repressed desires. Like Octavia who was listening at Vinyl’s latest album while the white unicorn was in a more lustful mood.
“Come on Tavy, if you want my vibrations that much why don’t we share a toy that makes you feel as good in the inside? It synchronizes with my music and the climax is just wonderful”
Or in the other side the two lunar captains Black Swordsman and the Lighting Flash decided to go inside the Everfree Forest to recreate their days as wandering adventurers destroying every single monster on sight.
Precisely the train where the Mane 6 were passed right in front of them while they go deeper and deeper with huge expectation smiles.
“Is just me or those two went back to their roots as heartless warriors?” Asked Rainbow. “I never liked them”
“Because he’s a most famous Pegasus than you or what?” Mocked Applejack.
“Guys, focus! Aren’t we looking for Rarity? Let’s find her and fix this as soon as possible!”
“Fiiiiine”
Luckily enough the engineer always wanted to be a Nascar Racer and he drove the train at an unbelievable speed, so fast that they arrived to Canterlot in less than twenty minutes.
“Okay, everypony knows where Rarity likes to spend her time in Canterlot! Let’s separate for now, but we’ll meet at the plaza in half an hour, understood?” Said Twilight.
“Understood!”
They began to look for Rarity but it was Twilight who found her in the public area of the Palace Gardens sitting on a bench with Blue Blood giggling and cuddling with him. Twilight was about to talk to them when she noticed a certain blue unicorn in a purple cape along with a young unicorn colt who was looking fascinated at the artistically designed bushes.
“Luk! Luk! Manchicoy!” Cheered Pure Soul happily.
“That’s right Pure, manticore. What can you tell me about this other one?” Asked Trixie.
“Hidya”
“Excellent Pure! You seem to be ready for tomorrow’s test. Which grade are you going to get?”
“An A!”
“I hope so darling!” Said Trixie satisfied with her son’s confidence.
Twilight smiled and approached to them.
“Trixie, wait!” She called.
Trixie sighed.
“What the fuck do you want Sparkle? I’m not in the mood”
“Yeah, I see that you’re busy…”
“Helping my son to study for his big test tomorrow” confirmed Trixie. “So what do you want?”
“I’m just curious, aren’t you affected by Spike’s prank?”
“No, the kid knows how to measure himself and if a prank is potentially dangerous for you it doesn’t affect you at much. And since my son’s condition makes him especially vulnerable, almost none of Spike’s pranks affect him; neither me since I’m Pure’s caretaker. Can we leave now”
“Tisi, that way!” Said Pure almost impatiently aiming to the garden exit.
Twilight sighed and nodded with half smile. She still felt a little hurt seeing how Trixie didn’t like her but she had to admit that besides her rudeness, Trixie wasn’t bad at all. All the effort she put in taking care in her adoptive son proved that.
So when Trixie and Pure left, she finally went with Rarity.
“Rarity! Rarity!” She said detonating a Grenade on her.
The fashionista shook her head confused.
“Twilight! What you’re doing? I’m fine alright?”
“Sorry Rarity, I had to make sure. However, we must stop Spike now so; can you help me?”
Rarity seemed a little upset with the situation but nodded resignedly.
“I’m in the middle of an especial moment dear, but anyway, let’s finish this already”
Twilight smiled apologetically to Blue Blood who simply shrugged like saying it didn’t matter.
“I’ll wait here Rarity”
“Thank you Blue, you are a true gentlecolt” said Rarity charmed.
Finally it was over, as always the Mane 6 spread the Harmony Wave all over Equestria and Rarity could reunite with the prince that as he promised, was patiently waiting for her on the bench.
“Sorry to make you wait Blue”
“Don’t mind me Rarity, all of us have responsibilities; some ones more urgent than others”
“Thanks. Saving Equetria is great and all but it gets kind of boring from time to time”
Blue Blood sighed.
“Believe me, I know”
They both stayed in silence for a little.
“And haven’t you thought in quitting Blue?”
“Sometimes, but it feels nice to be a hero even if nopony knows. I don’t mind, at the end, do the right thing is all what matters. You should understand it as a Bearer of Harmony”
“I guess you’re right. And for today I’m thankful for Spike’s prank. Especially because now I know how you feel Blue…”
“Sorry…”
“Don’t be. I like your true self and after all you sacrifice on the daily basis, you deserve somepony to make you happy. All I wish now is to be that pony”
Blue Blood smiled to Rarity and kissed her. Perhaps their roles as saviors of Equestria weren’t easy, but they had each other and that was all that mattered.
