Glint Stones: Visit

Chapter 1 - First Impressions

The train has arrived to Ponyville at last with Pinkie Pie and the Spellbind Brothers and some other passengers stepping off and then entering the station.
"Home sweet home! Welcome to Ponyville, boys!" Pinkie escorted the Spellbind Brothers out of the train station to the town. There were many ponies enjoying their day in the peaceful town and the Spellbind Brothers were surprised.
"Wow...! So cool!" Gust was so excited to see more of the town.
"Hmm...nice place to me. Perfect place for a nap." Chilly was still sleepy from earlier this morning.
"COOL!" Ashes was just as excited as Gust when arriving. This time without bursting into flames. They were all excited, except for Sparx. He had an expression of dis-comfort.
Pinkie noticed Sparx's expression, "Sparky, what's wrong...? Don't you like it?" Sparx looked around the town and felt nervous.
"Uh...uh...yeah, whatever...." Sparx placed his hood over his head to hide his dis-comfort.
"Hey...! Pinkie...!" They then heard a voice call out to them and see a blue Pegasus with a rainbow-colored mane and tail. She was slender with some slight muscle, and her Cutie Mark was a rainbow-colored lightning bolt. She landed in front of Pinkie and the brothers in epic fashion.
"Rainbow Dash...! It's been a while! How have you been?1 Is everypony alright?! Did you guys miss me?!" she asked quickly. Pinkie joyfully hugged Rainbow Dash after some time.
Rainbow Dash hugged Pinkie back, "Sure we missed you, Pinkie. It's been boring around here." She then turned and noticed the four rather tall ponies standing next to them.
"Hey Pinkie, who...are they?" Rainbow Dash didn't know how to react to such tall, out of place ponies.
"Oh...! They're my new friends! I wanna introduce them to you and everypony at my place! Go and bring them over! Let's go, guys!" Pinkie Pie darted off into Ponyville to her place.
"Hey, wait for us...!" Chilly and the brothers quickly followed Pinkie before she left them behind. Rainbow Dash was really confused, but she decided to do as Pinkie asked and flew off to gather the rest of their friends. Later that day, Pinkie was rapidly preparing a party with all the needed party essentials like cakes, punch, cookies, a welcome banner, and all kinds of other things. She lived in a bakery named Sugar Cube Corner.
"Geez Pinkie, don't you ever take a break...?" Chilly and the brothers watched as Pinkie worked.
"I'm almost done...! You're all going to love it! This party is meant to introduce you to my friends and to welcome you four to Ponyville!" Pinkie had just got the chocolate fountain going. Sparx was starting to drool at the sight of sweets everywhere.
"That blue Pegasus seemed nice. Who was she...?"
"That was Rainbow Dash. She's one of my best friends and she's the best flyer in Equestria!" As Pinkie said, Rainbow Dash has demonstrated many amazing acts on many occasions and has proven to be quite an amazing athlete.
"Wow...! She sounds so awesome!" Gust could only imagine Rainbow Dash being awesome.
Sparx gave an arrogant huff, "Please.... She's not nearly as awesome as me."
"So...you can fly?" Chilly gave Sparx a doubtful look.
"SHUT UP!" Sparx couldn't deny it and hated it.
"Ugh...I'M BORED!" Ashes had his head against the table out of boredom. They then heard the sound of the doorbell being rung with a group of mares and a Dragon walking inside.
"Hey Pinkie, I brought everypony like you a-woah...." Rainbow Dash was the first to walk inside and was amazed at the sight of the newly made party.
"COME IN!" Pinkie had just finished the party preparations and she fired her confetti cannons with music being played.
"What the fu-uh...heck?" Sparx nearly swore in front of a bunch of mares and a Dragon. The group of mares walked inside to join in on the party.
"Oh my word...! Just look at this attire! It's so old and damaged! This must be fixed! Sir, is this made with silk or polyester?!" A white Unicorn with a purple-colored mane and tail ran up to Chilly and began looking at his hood. Her Cutie Mark were a set of three diamonds.
'Wait...what?" Chilly did not know how to react to all that.
"HOLY-! THAT'S A BIG LIZARD!" Ashes darted at the small dragon in excitement.
"Agh...! Who are you?! And I'm a Dragon! Not a lizard...!" The little Dragon was annoyed and disturbed by this sudden outburst by Ashes.
"Now Spike, I'm sure he didn't mean any harm. He just seems...a little excited." The purple mare with a set of wings and a horn stood beside the small Dragon like how a mother would her young. Her Cutie Mark was a big star that was surrounded by many little stars.
"YOU'RE A DRAGON?! THAT'S SO COOL!" Ashes was trying his best not to burst into flames from excitement. Spike and Twilight didn't know how to react to this much excitement.
"Wow Spike, you got another fan. And you just met." Another purple Unicorn with green highlights in her mane and tail walked beside them. Her Cutie Mark was a star followed by a stream of green mist.
"Starlight, don't tease me...!" Spike was both nervous and embarrassed.
"Hi, Miss Rainbow Dash...! My name is Gust Runner Spellbind. Nice to meet you!" He stuck out his hoof to introduce himself.
"Hey, nice to meet you. And don't call me 'Miss'. Just 'Rainbow Dash'. You're a pretty tall colt." Rainbow Dash was still astonished by how tall Gust and his brothers were. Gust gave a nervous laugh.
"Um....hello...." A yellow Pegasus walked up to Sparx shivering like it was freezing cold. She had a pink mane and tail, and her Cutie Mark were three pink butterflies.
"Uh...hey...." Sparx could not feel any more anxious with so many new faces in an unfamiliar location. They just stared at each other without saying another word. It was really awkward.
"C'mon Fluttershy, a'm sure he doesn't bite. Introduce yourselves." An orange Earth Pony walked beside Fluttershy to encourage more conversation. She had a golden mane and tail, and her Cutie Mark were three red apples.
Fluttershy stuttered, "B-But...Applejack, he's s-so...scary...." Fluttershy looked like a tiny frightened animal.
"Ugh...this is killing me!" thought Sparx; he was freaking out as much as Fluttershy was. The party was going somewhat well and nothing got destroyed.
"I'm glad you're all having fun! Allow me to introduce them to you all!" Pinkie Pie then grabbed the Spellbind Brothers and placed them all in one seat.
"I met them at the rock farm with my sisters! This is Chilly Hoof, Glint Sparky, Gust Runner, and Burnt Ashes! They're all brothers and they're my friends!" She introduced them all in that exact order.
"Sup."
"HI!"
"Nice to meet you!"
"Uh...hey." The Spellbind Brothers were excited to meet them. Sparx was still uncomfortable.
"My name is Glint Sparx...!" Sparx was annoyed. The mares and Spike laughed.
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Twilight Sparkle. And this is Spike."
"Hi...! I'm Twilight's assistant!"
"You already met me, Rainbow Dash! I'm awesome!"
"My names Applejack. I run the apple farm that not too far from here. Nice to meet ya."
"i'm.....Fluttershy....." Fluttershy squeaked, still feeling nervous. They could barely hear her.
"I am Rarity, and I would just love to work on your hoods. They are all just begging for a re-work!"
"My name is Starlight Glimmer. I'm Twilight's pupil. Nice to meet you." The introductions were finally done and the party continued. The brothers and Pinkie's friends were getting along well and they enjoyed themselves.
Twilight then walked up to Pinkie, "Pinkie, how did you meet these four...tall ponies? I don't think I've seen any pony as tall as the Princesses." Twilight was curious about these four unfamiliar ponies.
"Oh, me and my sisters found this really big black stone and inside it were these four colorful crystals and when they got broken, Sparky and his brothers came out in a flash of light! Sparky shoots lightning out of his horn, Chilly can make ice, Ash can burst into flames, and Gust can make wind! They don't remember their past, so I brought them here because I thought you could help them since you're so smart! My sisters and I think they've been in that black rock for a very, very, very LOOOOOOOONG time! We sent the black stone to Canterlot to find out what it is and maybe help Sparky and his brothers remember their past!" Pinkie said all of that in one breath and gave a big smile. Her friends were all shocked to hear all that, turned towards the brothers and they really, really, REALLY didn't know how to react to all that.
"My name is Sparx...."
"Let it go, Sparx...."
"Pinkie, I don't think they believe you...." Gust noticed the dis-belief on everpony's faces.
"But it's the truth! You can ask my parents! And my sisters!" Pinkie was persistent in convincing her friends.
"I'm sorry, Pinkie, but that is impossible. Unless they can show us this power you described." Twilight was very skeptic about what Pinkie said.
"You want us to show you?! Really?!" Sparx jumped for the chance to demonstrate his power.
"But bro, we promised not to do that...!" Gust began trying to stop Sparx.
"YEAH! Miss Pie will be mad if we break our promise!" Ashes joined in Gust in stopping Sparx.
"Oh right, they did promise Mom and Dad they would behave...." Pinkie completely forgot about that. Sparx quickly became disappointed.
"Yeah.... Plus, Maud and Limestone would kill us if we did." Chill and his brothers shivered at the thought of that happening.
"Well, then I'll send them a letter to inform them that you did it to fulfill a request. I am the Princess of Friendship and if it's to help you all, then I'm sure they'll understand." What Twilight said quickly caught the brothers' attention.
"REALLY?! CAN YOU SEND ME TO THE SUN?!" Ashes' eyes were burning with excitement.
"You're a Princess?! I'm sorry for not knowing sooner, your Highness!" Gust began bowing his head.
"So you're a Princess, huh? Then you might be really powerful then." Sparx chuckled.
"Sparx, no...." Chill had a little ice hammer at the ready. Their reactions were quite surprising to Twilight and her friends.
"Uh...it's alright, guys. You don't have to call me 'Princess' all the time. And no, I can't send any ponies to the sun...." Twilight was a little embarrassed. Ashes then became depressed. Twilight and her friends didn't know what to make of these four strange ponies, but they didn't seem so bad to them.
"Well....um....it's...nice to...meet you all...." Fluttershy squeaked as she gave them a timid smile.
"I don't know how, but we'll help ya with your memory." Applejack tilted her hat with confidence.
"Yeah! It can't be that hard!" Rainbow Dash was ready for anything.
"And I get to do something with those old rags of clothing." Rarity was still focused on the ragged hoodies.
"I'll help you, Rarity!" Spike jumped at the chance.
"I'd love to see a demonstration of your power soon." Starlight became very interested.
"Great...! I'm glad you're getting along!" Pinkie was very relieved as the party resumed. The Mane 6 and the Spellbind Brothers all continued to enjoy the party without a hitch. What comes afterwards in uncertain.
