Sugar and the Mac

Feather Bangs/Gingersnap Asks for Help

Back in the village, Feather Bangs was in his house pouting over his failure to get Sugar Belle to marry him.

"350,000 bits wasted on a stupid wedding that never happened!" He threw his tuxedo into a nearby garbage can and fell onto his bed.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

"Feather Bangs, it's us! Let us in!" called Freestyle.

"Just open the door, it's unlocked."

Freestyle came in Boombox, Dropped Beat, Swoon Song, Dear Darling, Fond Feather, and several other of Feather's fans.

"We felt bad about what had happened earlier, so we thought about inviting you to Flip's." said Dropped Beat. "But then we figured you'd be in too much of a sour mood to leave your house, so we invited ourselves and all of your friends over for a cheer up party."

Feather sighed, "Whatever, just come in. I don't even care."

Everypony ran into the house and set up music, food, and drinks.

Meanwhile at the village entrance, Scootaloo stopped her scooter and Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Gingersnap came to a screeching halt.

Halfway through the woods, the CMC was riding by on their scooter when they noticed Gingersnap screaming from the mutant carriage cart.

Scootaloo went up to the carriage and ordered him to release Gingersnap, and he was free.

When Gingersnap had explained what had happened to the girls and that he needed to go back to the village to get help, they were shocked but more than happy to assist Gingersnap and give him a ride back.

Gingersnap panted and removed his safety gear, "Thanks for the ride back."

"No problem!"

"We need to find my employee Dough Mixer and Sugar Belle's friends, she's still out there!"

"Don't worry Gingersnap!" said Applebloom, "We'll go find Dough Mixer and you can look for Sugar Belle's friends."

The three quickly ran off.

Gingersnap called, "Hurry back! Who knows what that awful Beast Mac could be doing to my beloved granddaughter?"

His thoughts were interrupted by a beach ball.

"Oh, sorry Gingersnap! Didn't see you there." Gingersnap looked over and saw Double Diamond, Night Glider, and Party Favor in swimming attire and Double was holding a 'MOST X-TREME ROUTINE' trophy in a satchel.

Gingersnap ran up to the three, "You guys, something really horrible happened to Sugar Belle!"

"I thought something was up with her," said Double Diamond, "When she called me earlier telling me she couldn't go to the lake with us, we figured something was troubling her. Do you think you know what happened to her?"

"I was on my way to the Canterlot Dessert Competition and I ended up getting lost and attacked by Timberwolves, so I stumbled upon a castle and I-"

Party Favor interrupted, "There's a castle nearby?" Night Glider nudged him. "Please continue."

Meanwhile at Feather Bang's house, his party was in full swing but he was having none of it. Instead he sat on a couch whining like an annoying teenager.

"I can't believe Sugar Belle! She made a huge mistake by rejecting me! No one ever says no to me! Am I right?"

Freestyle responded, "That is very true."

"The pain, the rejection, the utter humiliation! It's so overwhelming it hurts!"

Feather Bangs whined as he threw his fifth cup of cider into the wall.

"Does somepony need another cider?" Freestyle asked, trying to be friendly.

"I don't want another one!" Feather Bangs tossed the drink away, "Nothing will help me get rid of my heartbreak! I'm so disgraced!"

"No way!" said Dropped Beat, "Feather Bangs, you need to stop feeling sorry for yourselves and get your act together!

It upsets me to see you Feather Bangs
looking so sad and so glum.

Feather Bangs shoved him away and Freestyle continued the song,

All these guys look up to you Feather Bangs
you make their boring lives fun!

There's no colt in town who's popular as you,
you're everypony's favorite guy!

We are in awe at the things that you do,
and it's not all that hard to see why!!

Feather Bangs's groupies sighed and crowded Feather Bangs.

Freestyle began hopping around the living room and singing:

No one's like Feather Bangs
is hot like Feather Bangs
No pony else can flip their hair like Feather Bangs!

There's no one in town quite charming!

Feather Bangs, Swoon Song, and Dear Darling lifted up Feather:

You're perfect in every way!

Boombox ran around to rally the other guests:

You can ask all the guests at this party
and they'll tell you just just how you brighten up their days!

Who drives carts like Feather Bangs?
Warms hearts like Feather Bangs?

Who's more than a handsome face than Feather Bangs?

Feather Bangs, feeling a little better (mostly because of the cider), sang:

I'm an awesome colt and I'm intimidating!

You're such a guy Feather Bangs!

Feather Bangs gathered his friends together:

I feel so much better, I love you guys!

Freestyle pulled the boys jnto a group hug:

There's no pony as easy to cheer up as you!

"Okay, let me go now. This is getting awkward."

The hug split up.

The crowd joined in:

Who fights like Feather Bangs?
Flies kites like a Feather Bangs?

In a dance battle,
you're no match for Feather Bangs!

Feather Bangs climbed onto a table holding onto his groupies:

There's nopony we love to fawn over!

Feather Bangs pushed them off the table:

Because I always get what I want!
Not a part of me's ugly and nerdy
for my charm and talent I always do flaunt!

Who's hot like Feather Bangs?
Kisses like Feather Bangs?

When it comes to mares no one flirts like Feather Bangs!

Feather Bangs picked up a random earth pony mare:

I am awesomely good at making them love me!

She kissed the random mare on the lips and pushed her away.

Yay for Feather Bangs!

Feather Bangs pulled down a spotlight from a lamp stand:

When I was a colt, I put fancy mane cream
in my manedo to give it some flounce.

And now that I'm grown I have the perfect mane
so now I flip my bangs and they bounce!!

"Dance solo!"

Feather Bangs started to do a merry Irish jig on the table.

"Everypony dance with me!"

The guests started slapping their forehooves and clinking their drinks together.

Freestyle, Boom Box, and Dropped Beat paired up with the groupies and started square dancing.

"Yee-haw!"

Soon everypony joined in and when they were done, Freestyle jumped all the way up onto the chandelier and swung around on it singing as the crowd sang along:

We love you Feather Bangs!
You're the best Feather Bangs!
We can go all day with this whole song Feather Bangs!

Feather Bangs hopped into the lap of the mate he kissed earlier:

I have posters of boy bands inside my bedroom!

The crowd laughed for a minute but Boombox made them stop and led them in finishing the song:

He gives us a jolt!
The best colt of all colts!

He's an awesome success!
No question he's the best!

You can ask all his friends
They'll never lie!
He's the the greatest guy!

Feather Bangs!

Everypony was cheering and clinking glasses. Freestyle jumped off of the chandelier and landed in the arms of Dear Darling.

"I feel better already! Nothing can spoil this day!"

Suddenly, Gingersnap opened the door in a panicked frenzy,

"Help! Somepony help me!" He began to run up a to guests shaking them, trying to get their attention.

"Gingersnap, what happened?" asked Feather Bangs.

"He's got my Sugar Belle locked away in a dungeon! We have to go save her now!"

"Who?"

"A horrible beast who lives in a castle with anthropomorphic furniture! Please help me!"

All of the guests stared in disbelief before bursting out laughing at these words.

One guest was confused: "There's a castle?"

Gingersnap ran up to the guest, "Yes there is! I've got a search party of Sugar Belle's friends waiting near the woods! I need other ponies to join me! Please!"

Feather Bangs looked at his friends, hoping to make fun of the situation.

"Was this beast hairy?" asked Dropped Beat.

"Very hairy with big horns like Lord Tirek! He had razor sharp claws and fangs and he even stood on two legs! Feather Bangs, you have to help me rescue her!"

"Let me think, no. There is no castle and there is no beast living in it with his animatronic friends. You and your amateur search party are on your own."

Freestyle whispered in Feather's ear, "Dude, if you do this, Sugar Belle will finally agree to marry you."

Feather Bangs looked at Gingersnap, "Alright, Freestyle and I will go with you, but if you are lying to me about this, there will be consequences."

Gingersnap bent down on his knees, "Thank you." He ran out of the house.

"Feather Bangs, why can't Dropped Beat and I come with you?" asked Boombox.

"Shut up! This is a two man job! You guys keep partying. Freestyle and I will deal with the old man."

Feather Bangs grabbed his bow and arrow and a rope and Freestyle grabbed a frying pan and they left the house to put their plan into action.
