//------------------------------// // Welcome to Ponyville // Story: The Tale of the Three Sided Medallion // by FlareGun45 //------------------------------// The Mane Six, Spike, Starlight, and Scorpan all returned to Ponyville to help Scorpan settle in. Ponies were a little concerned to why there was a giant gargoyle walking among them, and the Mane Six saw that the ponies felt a little uneasy. “What’s wrong with everypony?” Rarity asked. “Is there something in my hair? There’s something in my hair, isn’t it?” “Relax, Rarity, they’re not lookin’ at yer hair.” Applejack informed her. “Oh good!” Rarity said in relief. “But ah think there might be a spec of hair stickin’ out.” Applejack teased. Rarity began screaming as she covered her hair. “Don’t look at me! I’m hideous!” “No, everypony is looking at me.” Scorpan informed her. “I’ve been gone for so long; these ponies don’t know who I am.” “Trust me, I felt a little uneasy too when I first moved to Ponyville.” Starlight said. “Oh, it’s okay. I’m fine!” Scorpan said. “Ponies accepted me before, and I’m sure they will again!” “Uh, Princess Twilight?” Mayor Mare asked as she spots Scorpan. “I see you have brought a visitor to our town.” “Yes!” Twilight said. “Mayor Mare, I would like you to meet Scorpan!” “It is a pleasure to meet you, Scorpan! Welcome to our town!” The mayor said. “Thank you! It is a pleasure to be here!” Scorpan said. “He seems nice!” Daisy said. “Yeah, I thought we’d have to over-panic again because we’re in a huge disaster!” Roseluck said. “I like him!” Lily Valley said as she walked over to Scorpan with some flowers. “Uh, Mr. Scorpan, sir?” “Please, no need to be so formal!” Scorpan insisted. “Just call me ‘Scorpan’.” “Wow, what a gentlecolt!” Roseluck said. “Here, will you take these flowers as a symbol of us welcoming you to our town?” Lily Valley asked. “I would be delighted! Thank you!” Scorpan said as he takes the flowers and sniffs them. “They smell lovely!” “Oh please, you’re making me blush!” Lily Valley said shyly. “Wow, the ponies are really starting to like you, Scorpan!” Fluttershy said. “Yes! I think I’m going to really like it!” Scorpan agreed. Just then, music started playing, and Scorpan was getting weirded out. “Okay what’s with the weird music?” “It means we’re about to sing a song!” Pinkie said excitedly. “Really? Now?” Scorpan asked. “Like some Bridleway musical or something?” “No, more like a TV show musical!” Pinkie said. “A what?” Scorpan asked. “Just go with it.” Applejack said. Twilight starts off the song, “Welcome to Ponyville! Where friendship comes in all types of forms!” “Welcome to Ponyville!” Starlight sings. “It would clear your heart from the storms!” “We all love, and tolerate anyone, who would give friendship a chance!” Twilight sings. “Anypony who would come to comfort you,” Starlight sings, “even when your mind’s in a trance!” “Even when your mind’s in a trance!” The Mane Six, Starlight, and Spike all sing. “That all sounds great!” Scorpan said excitedly. “But what is there to do around here?” “All aboard the Pinkie Pie Express Tour of Ponyville!” Pinkie said as she puts on a train conductor’s hat. “Please keep your hoovsies inside the tour bus at all times, for your own safety!” “Uh, Pinkie, there’s no bus here.” Applejack informed her. “I don’t have the money for a bus, so all aboard the PRETEND bus! Choo-choo!” Pinkie cries out. Everyone just went with it as they start the tour. Over at Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack starts singing as Granny Smith offers Scorpan one of her apple ties, and Big Mac gives him a fork. “Come on down to Sweet Apple Acres! We have apple pies, apple fritters, and more!” Over at Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie then sings as she offers Scorpan some sweets, “Come to Sugarcube Corner, we have cake, cookies, and s’mores! YUM!” Over at Carousel Boutique, Rarity sings as she measures Scorpan’s body and offers Scorpan some suggestions in her catalog. “You can pick, a tux, a hat, and a ca-ane, just tell me your color and size!” Scorpan flies alongside Rainbow Dash as they both start clearing clouds very quickly. “You can race, or clear out the clo-ouds, the only limit’s the skies!” “And the only limit’s the skies!” Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, and Rainbow all sing at the same time at their own various locations. The music got more relaxing as the spotlight shined over Spike as he sang, “It may not be… so easy… to be an outsider in a pony land. You just need, the right idea… to have a life all planned! You have spent, your life in exile… away from your family and friends. Will it be better in Ponyville? Well it… all depends! It depends!” “It depends!” Twilight sings as another spotlight shines on her. “It depends!” Starlight sings as yet another one shines on her. “It depeeeeeeeends!” The Mane Six, Spike, and Starlight all sang. Scorpan joined with Fluttershy over at her cottage to pet her animal friends, including Angel. “You, can be kind, and pet a bunny or two. Or even a hug from a cuddly be-ear. does not matter which way you do!” Scorpan was about to give Fluttershy’s bear friend Harry a hug, but he just screams and runs away from him. Scorpan and his friends all walked down the streets of Ponyville as everypony waved at him, and offered him different presents, like Derpy giving him a mail hat, Lyra giving him a foam finger, and Bulk Biceps giving him a 500 pound anchor, which started to make all of Scorpan’s gifts pretty heavy. Scorpan’s new friends all sang, “Ponyville is a place of peace… of mind and heart and soul! We have learned from and supported each other! Which persuaded us to reach our goal! Which persuaded us to reach our goal!” “Come on, Scorpan! Sing something!” Pinkie persuades him as she gives him a nudge. “We will learn a lot of each other!” Scorpan sings as he concludes the song. “And I can make peace with Lord Tirek, my brother!” As the song ends, one of the Ponyville citizens, Merry May asks curiously, “Wait, did he just say ‘Lord Tirek’?” “I think he also said ‘his brother’.” Parasol said. “IT’S LORD TIREK’S BROTHER!” Daisy cried. “This is a disaster! A horrible, horrible disaster!” Lily Valley cries. “EVERYPONY RUN!” Roseluck yells as everypony runs away from Scorpan and takes shelter in their homes as Scorpan and his few remaining friends all stood there awkwardly. Bulk Biceps shows up as he grabs his anchor from Scorpan’s collection of gifts, and he yells, “I WANT MY ANCHOR BACK! BUT DON’T DRAIN MY MAGIC!” He then runs away and disappears in a heartbeat with his anchor. “Well THAT was rude!” Pinkie commented. “Scorpan’s singing wasn’t THAT bad!” Scorpan sighs in grief.
