//------------------------------// // The Crash! A Pony in Trouble // Story: A Rubber Pony in Equestria // by Lightbuster30 //------------------------------// It was an average day for Fluttershy: Taking care of her animal friends, feeding them, helping with their injuries. "Oh Angel, please just eat your food." She pleaded in a quiet, motherly tone. Angel was once again being picky with his food. The bunny merely shook his head to the side, and thumped his hind leg in annoyance. He immediately started eating after finding Fluttershy's stare being used on him. She turned to Harry the Bear, who had his arm in a sling at the moment. "Oh Harry you really should be more careful climbing trees." Harry had broken his arm when he was attempting to climb a tree to get to a beehive near the top, only for a weak branch Harry was on to snap at the last second. *Knock Knock* "Now I wonder who could that be?" Fluttershy wondered to herself. Upon opening the door she saw it was her friend Rainbow Dash. "Fluttershy!" "I'm glad I found you." Exclaimed Rainbow Dash. She had a look of excitement on her face. "It's Uh, good to see you too Dashie, but why all the excitement?" Asked the shy mare. "Oh nothing special, just an amazing trick I've been working on that'll blow the horseshoes off the Wonderbolts!" She boasted, jumping in the air a bit at the last words. "But I need somepony to spot me, somepony to make sure I get it right." For years it had been her dream to fly with the wonderbolts. "Can I count on you?" She asked almost expectantly. "Ooh well...I gues-" She had starated, only to be cut off. "All right then, let's go! Rainbow yelled, putting her arm around Fluttershy. "But I didn't even, oh um ok then." Started Fluttershy, going along with her friend before silently trailing off in her words. [/hr] Meanwhile at Cafe Hay, Twilight Sparkle and Applejack were eating lunch. "I'm glad you were able to make it to lunch AJ, you've been working the farm for days." Twilight stated, indeed Applejack had been working hard the past few days, in preparation for an apple themed party Pinky was planning. "Yep well Big Mac is doing the fields today, guess he wanted to give me a break from all that applebucking. Must be a massive party to need this many apples." "Yeah well why such an huge party anyway? She never throws parties like this except for newcome-YAhhh!" Twilight yelled out. She went to take a bite out of her sandwich, only to drop it in shock when Pinky Pie had popped headfirst out of it. "That's because it IS a 'Welcome to Ponyville' party silly!" "My pinky-sense told me a fun newcomer would be here soon, so I've been preparing this party for when he arrives!" "That's great Pinky, but could you get out of my sandwich? And how can you be sure this supposed newcomer is even a he? Did your pinky-sense tell you that too?" Twilight asked in a teasing manner. "Yep!" Pinky bluntly stated, suddenly appearing next to Twilight and Applejack. "Of course it did" Proclaimed Twilight "Well I think it's righty nice of you to throw a party for whoever this pony is. Whoever he is I'm sure he will be a welcome addition to ponyville. Hey look it's Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash!" [/hr] Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were walking through Ponyville on their way to Rainbow's stunt site, only to stop at hearing their name. "Oh hi girls." Fluttershy lightly called out to her friends. "Me and Dashie were walking out of town so she could practice a stunt to impress the Wonderbolts. Do you want to come along?" "The Wonderbolts?" Questioned Applejack. "You've already impressed them with yer Sonic Rainboom, AND you're in the academy. What else would you need to do?" "Not much else." Rainbow boasted. "The Wonderbolts know greatness when they see it, and with my new stunt they are gonna get to see even more." She stated in a smug tone. "Ooh, a new stunt? Sounds like so much fun!" Pinky yelled out. With the excitement of a newcomer, and a new stunt from her friend, she couldn't help but hop up and down. "Let's go! Let's go!" "Sounds like a plan to me." Twilight proclaimed. "Since we are finished with lunch now. Has anyone seen Rarity?" She had asked. "Since most of us are going we might as well take the whole gang to see." [/hr] Rarity opened the door in response to a knock at her door and saw her friends. "Rarity! Rarity!" Exclaimed Pinky Pie rapidly. "Rainbow Dash is gonna perform this BIG stunt and we figured since most of us were going we should bring all of us to see it!" "A New stunt? Well why not darling? Today has been somewhat lazy anyways. Let's go!" [/hr] "Oh Rainbow you never mentioned what the stunt actually is." Fluttershy stated. "Oh that? I'm gonna make a Sonic Rainboom and create a Rainbow trail in a spiral shape. Then I'll fly around the edges to make the whole thing spin! I call it: The Hypno Rainbow." "Ooh thats sounds beautiful! Perhaps it would make for some new inspiration for a dress!" Proclaimed Rarity, already imagining dresses based on the trick. *Twitch Twitch* *Shiver* "Ohh guys I think I feel something coming over here." Pinky stated. "Not very far too." "What?" Asked Twilight. "Rainbow if something is headed our way shouldn't we wait until later for the stunt?" Though she didn't understand it, Twilight had learned the hard way to take Pinky-Sense seriously. "Aww don't be such a worrywort Twilight. Whatever it is, we can take it. Now watch in amazement!" Ignoring Twilight's warning Rainbow charged in the sky at full speed, each wing flap gaining more and more speed. The air was warping around her. None had noticed the approaching figure until it was too late. "Almost there, almost...WHAT THE HAY?!" Shrieked Rainbow as the figure zipped past her, causing her to spin wildly. "GIRLS LOOK OUT!" Cried a frantic Twilight. They had just barley managed to get out of the way. *CRASH* Everypony was dazed at the sight before them, a paw shaped bubble of air surrounded a male pony with beige skin, a short messy black mane, a blue sleeveless vest, an straw hat, and black shorts (A fashion combo Rarity was disgusted at.) The bubble dissipated shortly after, leaving an crater in its shape. The pony attempted to stand. "That jerk ruined my stunt!" Shouted an infuriated Rainbow Dash. "Where did he come from? Where did that bubble come from?!" Twilight was frantic at the sight before her. "Where did that awful sense of fashion come from?" Rarity quipped, looking more at the pony's clothes than the actual pony. "Hey guys, this is the guy my Pinky-Sense was telling me about! Welcome to Ponyville! *Proceeds to pull out her Party Cannon and fires it*.....The pony swayed on his hind legs uneasily.....*THUD!* The pony had collapsed to the ground unconscious. "Heh heh" Pinky nervously laughed. "Too much?" "Girls I think he is injured!" True to her words, the pony was covered in injuries, he clearly had an air of exhaustion around him, as though he was in an great fight beforehand. "We have to help him!" "I've never seen somepony this exhausted before." Just look at all them injuries, somepony must have put him through the wringer." Applejack noted. "I'm more interested in how he even got here, and what that bubble was." Twilight wondered out loud with an intense curiosity. "We can worry about that later Twilight, right now let's just take him to Fluttershy's so we can patch him up. She has all kinds of medicine for injured animals." Applejack stated. "Yes of course, I can ask him questions when he wakes up." [/hr] The pony stirred and heard voices. "Do you think he is alright?" Asked one. "Don't know, he looked pretty bad." He heard another voice, and the pony started to open his eyes, everything was a blure. "Shh, he is waking up give him some room!" The pony could barley make out 6 different figures. The pony had now sat straight up and rubbed the back of his head. "Ugh that stupid bear jerk." By now he saw the 6 figures clearly, they looked like horses. The gears in his head started whirring. "HI I'm Pinky Pie! What's your name? It's so good to meet you, I can't wait to be friends!" *Pulls out the Party Cannon and fires it yet again* The pony however wasn't paying attention to that and stood seemingly in shock. There was an awkward silence between him and the 6 ponies. Eventually he spoke, and what he said next suprised every pony: "MEEEEAAAT!"
