//------------------------------// // Episode Twenty-Four: Zephyr Breeze Flies In // Story: House of Pony: Season 2 // by JusSonic //------------------------------// Ever since the previous episode, no one figured out whom Captain Pinkie-Pants or her sidekick Wolfie, the PJ Wonder really was. Which probably was for the best as these heroes were never seen again. Of course, Pinkie and Nyx would expect another small comet hitting a bowl of chips to make more of the power, so Captain Pinkie-Pants may come back. Twilight one time asked Pinkie why there was a bowl of chips near the back door area of the club every night. The pink mare happily suggested not to worry about it...so they didn't. The show still went on. So despite how weird the staff or audience gets, Twilight enjoys the shows. And she often knew how polite and courteous both the audience and any special guest she invites are. However, a certain guest, a certain brother of Fluttershy's, ended up being a hooful and being rude to everyone, but let's tell that story, shall we? ------------- As Spike makes his introduction, he grins, "All right, and direct from Ponyville, here's TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!" As Spike leaves, the audience applauds as Twilight who flies around, laughing before landing. She giggles, "Hey, everypony! Welcome to the coolest place in Equestria, which is our very own..." "HOUSE OF PONY!" The audience yells out while cheering. "Right, okay! Today, we got some new cartoons coming up. Along with our special guest stars, the Rockin' Beats! So hang on tight, ponies!" The audience applauded in excitement. Hopefully this will be another great show Twilight is throwing here! --------------- At this time, Ben, Rarity, Brian, Applejack, Fluttershy, Nyx, Phobos, Spike, Rainbow, Starlight, Sunburst, and two Bushwoolies were gathered around. Ben has just put up a "Welcome!" Wreath nearby for some reason. "Say, where's Pinkie?" Phobos ask, noticing that Pinkie is missing. "Oh, mommy send Auntie Pinkie over to another club to see how it looks. Something called "House of Cowdog" or something." Nyx explains to her friend. "She won't be in today at the moment." "So what else is new?" "All right, everypony. I got an announcement. I called you all here because I recently got a call from royalty." Ben announced to the others with a nod. "They send a delegate here to visit the House of Pony." "So wait, what kind of royalty are we talking about here?" Starlight ask Ben curiously. "The Mystic Ponies, of course." "Mystic Ponies?! Wow, tell us!" Brian exclaims eagerly to Ben. It's a shame that Pinkie won't be here to see this...maybe she will experience what's going on over at the House of Cowdog. "Shoot, will this pony require special lighting?" asked Applejack curiously. "What will he like to eat?" Fluttershy ask eagerly. "So don't keep us in stitches, darling." Rarity said to Ben eagerly. "Who is this Mystic Pony?" "Well, to be honest, it's only a delegate as the Mystic Pony cannot make it, but at least try to treat the delegate like royalty." Ben explains to the others with a smile. "Second, the Mystic Pony himself is none other than councilpony Cunning Fury." "So if it isn't him, who is Cunning Fury sending?" Sunburst ask Ben curiously. "It is none other than his mane dresser...Zephyr Breeze!" Upon hearing that, most of the staff looks shocked and alarm. Fluttershy gasped, "My brother?! Zephyr is coming here?!" "And since when he is Cunning Fury's mane dresser?" Nyx ask a bit confused. "Well, after Rainbow, Terrorcreep, Sour Sweet and I were able to help Zephyr fixed up Cunning Fury's mane, the Mystic Pony councilpony hired him to be his mane dresser...as long as he doesn't mess up. Hee hee." "Yeah, I bet." Phobos remarked dryly. Even he knows that Zephyr Breeze will do better not to tick off his new employer! "But was it JusSonic's universe or Nigel's?" "Eh, whatever worked." Ben said with a chuckle. "Cunning Fury send him here as a delegate...though I think he just wants him out of his mane for a while. He will definitely rock this house." "Well, hopefully he doesn't mess up our place." Brian said thoughtfully. "Fluttershy's brother was always a big troublemaker." "Well, whatever we think of him or not, no mess-ups. I preferred not to have another royal incident like what happened he last time. Right, Rainbow Dash?!" Rainbow yelped nervously as she recalled what happened the last time she started a royal incident. --------- Flashback "So I get a kiss from my special someone?" Dragon Lord Ember ask as she is wearing a blindfold. "You got it. Now pucker up." Rainbow giggled happily as she held up Spike who looks bewildered. "Wait, what are you...hey!" Spike protests as Rainbow turns him around and leans his butt towards Ember's puckering lips...which she kissed without realizing it! "Whoa!" End Flashback --------------- "Aww, come on! It was meant to be a joke!" Rainbow protests with a frown as she snaps out of it. "It wasn't funny when Ember realized what she was kissing and almost burn the whole club down!" Starlight scolded Rainbow, reminding her what happened afterwards. "Well, Spike seemed to like it!" "Err, no, not really...my brother likes her...yeah." Spike said, giving out a warm blush on his face, making the others chuckled a bit. "All right, enough! I want everypony to be on their best behavior, got it?" Ben ask the others who gave a slight silent pause. With a smile, the Earth pony continues, "All right, now to review our House of Pony policy for royal guests or delegates. Nyx?" Nyx nodded as she picks up the rules clipboard to speak, "First off, be polite and well-behaved. Second, always refer to royalty or royal subjects as sir or madam. Okay, anyone got any questions?" "Yeah, I got a question!" A voice spoke up. Nyx yelps as a hoof grabbed the clipboard and tossed it aside. Everyone turns to see Fluttershy's brother Zephyr Breeze nearby, smirking. "Hey, where's the mare of the Club, as in Twilight Sparkle?" Fluttershy, breathing in and out, left and came back with a couple of cupcakes on a plate. She breaths, mumbling, "Greetings, sir or madam..." "Aww, big sis, you know me, no need for the curtesy!" Zephyr laughs as he grabs the cupcakes and shoved them into his mouth. "Yeah, Cunning Fury was nice to send me to check this place out. I really wanna meet Twilight Sparkle!" "Zephyr! You met Twilight at the castle, remember?" "Yeah, but I heard she is one cool pony to hang with!" "Right. So welcome to my club, your Highness's delegate." Rainbow said, grinding her teeth as she bowed down to Fluttershy's brother. The mare has trouble putting up with him, but as he is royalty sort of, the mare got to avoid another royal incident like last time. "Your club? Oh, come on, Rainbow Crash! Everyone knows this place is the princess's club! As much as I like ya, move aside because I wanna speak to Twilight!" Zephyr laughed as she threw Rainbow aside, causing her to growl in annoyance. He laughs while flying up to the ceiling, swinging from a light figure. "Oh yeah! I can see everything from up here!" "Err, hey, Zephyr Freeze? Hey..." Ben begins to speak. But Fluttershy's brother just flew over and landed on a Twilight Sparkle head fixture which was covering Rarity's desk. The white unicorn yelped as she held her autograph book just as the horn part landed on her, covering Rarity's whole desk. Zephyr laughs as he slides right down. "Oh yeah, this is going to be a party! I think I'm going to love it!" Zephyr Breeze then begins to heads off towards the audience while giving a small humming sound. Everyone stood there in concern. "Huh." Starlight said in concern. "This is the rudest pony that we ever had to be polite to..." "Yes, and I thought he learned his lesson during his failing experience." Fluttershy sighs as she shakes her head. Ben could only nod. He knew that he gotta tell Twilight about this. At her table, Pinkamena notices Zephry and comments, "Well something tells me Zephyr Breeze will be causing much trouble. We best be ready for it." "Understood Little sister." Golden Heart said in agreement. ---------------- It was a while later as Ben and Fluttershy talk with Twilight about happened including Zephyr Breeze in the backstage area. "Well, luckily no one was hurt." Ben said with a sigh. "But it's going to be hard to try to even speak to Zephyr Breeze." "Well, I'm sure he meant no harm, right?" Twilight ask with a smile. "No worries. I'm sure he won't be causing any further delays to our show." "Well, Zephyr Breeze is going to make any further trouble on our show, that's for sure." Fluttershy said in concern. "Oh, speaking of delays..." "Better move along yourself." Ben finished as he pointed a hoof to a clock on the wall. " We got a show to do, remember?" "Oh right, thanks for reminding me!" Twilight exclaims in alarm. The Alicorn gallops back onto the stage and into the spotlight. "Hey, ponies! Dig this crazy cartoon, which is based off a very classic one!" The audience applauds as the first cartoon of the night begins. --------- JUSSONIC PRESENTS... A RARITY CARTOON Based on the classic Mickey Mouse short 'Mickey and the Seal' 'RARITY & THE DIAMOND DOG" It was a regular late morning in Equestria. At a local shelter, Rarity was there, spending her time being generous as she likes to be. She just bought a few steaks to feed to the Diamond Dogs over at their cage. Rarity grins at the Diamond Dogs there barking and having fun. Unlike the ones that once captured the mare to use her to hunt for gems, these are very nice dogs. Rarity whistles to get some of the dogs' attention before taking a steak out from a basket that the mare has with her. She waves the food item, causing the Diamond Dogs to bark excitedly. Rarity then throws it into the air as the Diamond Dogs looks ready to catch their meal. But the one who got the steak is a little Diamond Dog who jumps high into the air and caught it in his mouth before landing, swallowing the treat in one bit. The Diamond Do known as Nemo looks towards Rarity and dances in delight dances in pure delight. "My, just a friendly little Diamond Dog." Rarity said with a smile. Rarity pulls out another steak, throwing it towards Nemo who caught it and ate the steak in one gulp. With a smile, the Diamond Dog hops up and down, dancing again. He looks towards the unicorn, barking at her from the cage. "Sorry, little guy. That's all for today." Rarity turns around, heading off, but in the progress, she has forgotten about the basket. Nemo saw it and grins as he jumps up and out of his cage, slipping out and going right into the picnic basket. Nemo wants to go along. "Oh dear, almost forgot something!" Rarity exclaims, realizing that she has forgotten her basket. The mare turns around and uses her magic to float it, unaware of the passenger, over to her. "Mustn't forget this, oh no." Rarity then heads off, unaware of the little stowaway. --------------------------------------------------------- It was two hours later as Rarity came back home. Upon entering, the unicorn is greeted by her cat Opalscence or Opal for short. "Greetings, Opal darling," Rarity said happily. The cat jumps at her, licking at the pony like a dog. "Oh wow, take it easy, darling! I guess you were anxious to see me today." Opal follows his owner into the kitchen where she puts the picnic basket down onto the table. Upon seeing her cat giving a hopeful look to her, Rarity spoke, "Sorry, Opal; Nothing in there for you today." Opalsence gave a rather disappointed look as Rarity leaves the kitchen. After a good day, the unicorn has a plan to take a little bath. Opal prepares to head off to take a bath...when she hears barking, making her stopped to look around. Where is that barking coming around? To the cat's surprise, the lids of the basket were lifting up by themselves, causing Opal to jump up at the table to get a closer look. She saw a pair of eyes coming from inside, making her meow and jumped up in fright. At that moment, Nemo came crawling out and begins walking around, barking a bit. Opal's eyes widened as she meows while running upstairs. Rarity needs to know about this! Speaking of the unicorn, Rarity was in her bathroom as she turns the water on for the bath. Opal rushes in and meows like mad, jumping up and down. Rarity looks concerned as her car flaps her around as best as she could. "Opal, darling, are you feeling okay?" Rarity asks Opal in concern. Opal quickly rushes out, expecting Rarity to follow her. She just shrugs it and glances at the water which is filling up the tub nicely. The white unicorn prepares to turn the water off, but then Opal came back in, jumping up and down, flapping her arms while making her meows sounds like barks. "Opal, are you sick?" Rarity asks Opal who groans while shaking her head. She runs out of the room making Rarity sighs. May as well see what's wrong with her cat. Nemo hears Opal growling causing the Diamond Dog to jump back into the basket, making the cat jumped in after her. The good news for Nemo is due to his small size, he got out of the basket easily before rushing off and heading upstairs. Opal wasn't so lucky as her head was stuck in the basket, causing the cat to run around, making a mess as a progress. "OPAL," A familiar voice yells out angrily. Opal stopped as she lifts the basket from her eyes. Rarity came downstairs to see what's wrong and saw this mess. "Look what you did to the kitchen! Now I got this mess to deal with when I'm done with my bath!" Opal jumps up and down, trying to bark which came out as meows. Rarity frowns as she points to the door, not wanting to hear it, "Outside, now!" Opal cringes and headed towards the door. Her owner thinks that she has made this mess. However, she tries to bark one more time in hope to convince her. "OUT, GET OUT!" Rarity snaps in annoyance, causing the cat to yelp. She threw off the basket and rushes outside. Once outside, Opal frowns as she take a look through the window. That trouble making Diamond Dog has to be in here somewhere. Now back upstairs in the bathroom, Nemo spotted the door opened and came inside. The white basin got his curiosity as he came over to take a look. The Diamond Dog barks happily to see that it's filled with water. Nemo dipped a toe inside then barks happily. The right temperature! So Nemo happily jumps into the bathtub, beginning to swim underwater. At that moment, Rarity came inside and closes the door, locking it in case Opal decided to come back inside anyway. With a smile, she enters the water to relax, preparing to sit down. But the unicorn yelps as she felt something brushing her to the side. Rarity reaches him and pulls out a back scrubber. She must've almost sat on it! With a shrug, Rarity grabs the soap and uses her magic to scrub the brush with it. Unknown to the unicorn, Nemo popped out of the water and looks at the unaware unicorn in curiosity. She then put the brush behind her own back, unaware that she had put it near the Diamond Dog, beginning to push it on her back while scrubbing Nemo unknowingly. Although a bit annoyed at first, Nemo smiles as the gentle bristles that was scrubbing his body with the soap was relaxing, causing him to rubbed against the brush. Of course, Rarity felt something off as she took the brush off the Diamond Dog's back, giving a puzzled look at it. Weird, the unicorn's back wasn't getting the brush for some reason, Rarity tries once more, only to once again unknowingly allowing Nemo behind her to enjoy the soapy brush, getting himself clean in many areas. Rarity puzzled as she took the brush in front of herself to examine it. The mare blinks as she turns around, only for Nemo to dives back into the soapy water before she could see him. Blinking, Rarity uses her magic to get the soap to use it on the brush once more. Unknown to her, of course, the baby Diamond Dog chose that time to popped back up and blocks the brush, getting his head soaped up. Nemo popped back down in time as Rarity put the brush before her back to scrubbed it, making her sigh in relief. She whistled a bit, turning her head back in front. Nemo once again appears behind Rarity as she put the brush aside, shuffling the soap on her hooves as she begins cleaning under her upper arms. With a smile, the Diamond Dog takes the brush and begins brushing Rarity's head with it. This caught the unicorn's attention but looks puzzled as she looks at her hooves in confusion. What's going on here? Rarity quickly tries to grab the brush with her hooves, only for both it and Nemo to disappear underwater. The white unicorn looks around in more confusion. Something is not right here! Outside, Opal climbs up to the side towards the bathroom window, peeking in to see Rarity taking her bath, then gasp upon seeing Nemo in the tub with her. And of course, the white unicorn was busy searching the water in confusion, not turning around and seeing Nemo behind herself. Opal meows like crazy as she taps the window to get Rarity's attention. The mare notices her doing so then frowns as she pulls the curtain down. She is in no mood for her cat's antics right now! "Now then, where is that brush?" Rarity sighs as she looks around. To Rarity's surprise, the back brush suddenly popped up right in front of her. She frowns and tries to grab it, only for the brush to disappear under the water. Rarity searched around the water carefully, then grabbed what she believes to be the brush and pulls it out... Rarity screams in alarm as she saw that it isn't the brush that she's pulling but something's foot which isn't her own! The mare jumps out of the tub quickly, something is in there with her! Rarity popped the brush bobbing up and down on its own, following by a paw popping up, making the mare yelps. She grabs a chair with her magic, preparing to raise it to take out whatever is in the tub with her. Rarity then proceeds in pulling out the stopping to drain all the water out, then she raises the chair even higher as the water drained out quickly. But to Rarity's surprise, she saw a familiar Diamond Dog brushing himself with the brush, looking up and dancing happily. "Well, what do you know? Looks like some nice Diamond Dog has followed me home!" Rarity giggled while smiling. She picks Nemo up, he must've snuck home with her when she wasn't looking. Must be what Opal was trying to follow her. Just then, Rarity hears knocking and meowing at the door, causing her to open it. Sure enough, a panicked Opal rushes into the bathroom and jumped into the empty tub, only for her to smack her head against it, before sliding back and forth in it. "Opal, darling; you aren't going to believe what followed me home." Rarity giggled as Opal shakes her head. She spots the Diamond Dog and widened her eyes, before hissing at Nemo. She was about to pounce when Rarity stopped her. "No, Opal! He was merely a harmless Diamond Dog, not like those brutes who used to capture me. He's a cute little fellow. What do you think, shall we keep him?" Upon hearing that, Opal looks shocked then hisses angrily. Rarity chuckles, "Well, you're right. We can't keep him. He isn't even ours. We will take the Diamond Dog back; the shelter is probably looking for him right now." Opal, hearing that, brightens up and rushes out of the room, coming back with the basket with her mouth. Rarity laughs. Well, that's one way of taking Nemo back! --------------------------------------------------------------------- A couple of hours later, Rarity and Opal came back to the shelter with Nemo in the basket. It was closing hours, but Rarity informs the owner of the place of the mix-up. Luckily, he was understanding and agrees to let Rarity put the Diamond Dog back into its cage. After all, Nemo was always trying to get out of his cage to get more find and/or make some mischief. Happens all the time! Rarity and Opal brings the basket over to the cage, the cat put the basket down so that Rarity can take Nemo out, putting him back in. As the Diamond Dog goes back to his usual place, Rarity waves while saying, "Goodbye, darling! Try not to sneak out again, okay?" Rarity heads off while Opal snorts at the baby Diamond Dog before following her owner. Good riddance, she will say! As Nemo watches Rarity and Opal, the Diamond Dog spots some of his friends coming over, curious as to where he was. Nemo smiles as he enacts his little adventure, and discovering a new pastime that was dubbed "bathtime". For this reason, this made the other Diamond Dogs interested indeed! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rarity and Opal came home a couple of hours later, the duo came home. The mare sighs, "Well, that was an interesting day we had, Opal." The cat meows in agreement. "At least the little darling is back home, safe and sound. And now..." But when Rarity opens the door, she and Opal can hear loud barking from upstairs. In alarm, the duo rushes upstairs and checks the bathroom. Their eyes widened in shock as they saw a shocking surprise. Inside the bathroom, the adult Diamond Dogs were enjoying some bathtime of their own, lining up and using a heating board to dive into the bathtub, each taking turns using the soap and brush before jumping out to use the towels to dry themselves off. Opal glares at Rarity who gave a sheepish smile to her cat. Guess Nemo decided to invite the whole gang over for some bathtime as well. The duo barks Nemo the Diamond Dog swimming in the full shower, waving to the duo, smiling. Hoo boy. THE END A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION ------------------------------------------------------------ Once the cartoon is done, the audience applauds eagerly; another good one. Inside the control booth, Applejack was just getting the cartoon that she played out and back into the set, when Zephyr Breeze appears from out of nowhere next to her, speaking as she yelps, "HELLO? TWILIGHT SPARKLE; YOU IN HERE; Hey, wow! Check the buttons and doohickeys!" "Err, hey, Zephyr. Welcomer to the control room." Applejack said, nodding in respect as the guest begins pushing a lot of buttons. To her shock, everything inside the House of Pony begins going off. "Control Room; WOW, HEY; PERFECT; ‘CAUSE I'M OUT OF CONTROL!!!" "Dang nabbed it, will..." Applejack yelps as she remembers, she can't be rude to Zephyr Breeze. After all, he is Fluttershy's brother and Cunning Fury's delegate. "Err, on second thought. Do as you please." "YAHOOO!!!" Zephyr Breeze cheers as he pushes all the buttons in the control room. Everyone notices all the lights, inside and outside the club, going crazy. "Well looks like Zephyr is causing more trouble; he better behave before things get ugly." Pinkamena remarks, a hint of annoyance is heard in her tone of voice. Golden Heart nodded as he adds, "Let's just hope Fluttershy will be able to keep him under control." ---------------- Inside their dressing room, the Rockin' Beats are practicing their instruments. Melody smirks as she said, "All right, girls, not bad, not bad, but we need more oomph, now from the top!" The rest of the band nodded as they tuned up their synthesizers. But without warning, the door bursts opened as a familiar pony came in, to their attention. "Yo, yo; Hey, any of you girls happened to seen Twilight Sparkle?" Zephyr Breeze asked the band eagerly. "If you mean the one from Gen 4, never saw her much." Pretty Beat remarks with a shrug. "Right, we're from the "My Little Pony Tales" like verse." Half Note said in agreement. "Oh wow! Whatcha got there?! That looks cool!" Zephyr laughs as he grabs a guitar from Tuneful, much to her alarm. "Hey, what are you doing?!" Tuneful yells out angrily as Fluttershy's brother slammed the guitar onto the ground, "MY GUITAR!" "Oh, more stuff!" To the other band members' dismay, Zephyr Breeze grabbed the synthesizers and broke them apart. They scream out, "HEY, YOU DUMB OAF, HEY!!!" "Out, out, out!" Melody screams out to Zephyr Breeze, causing the Pegasus pony to fly out of the dressing room. "Man, these girls need to lighten up. It's like some jerk ruined their lives or something." Zephyr Breeze remarks as he flies off, leaving the band in their room to look at their ruined instruments in horror. How are they going to play now?! ------------ Back on stage, Twilight points to the screen as she spoke, "All right, here's a new Pinkie Pie cartoon!" The audience applauds as the next cartoon of the night begins. --------- JUSSONIC PRESENTS.... Pinkie's Extreme Sports 3 - Paracycling "Skill...bravery...as well as a lot of bandages! These are the qualities that can only be found in the extreme sports-pony!" On top of a high cliff, Pinkie was in her bike clothes, taking a very deep breath while doing a few exercises. The mare looked down and nodded. It's time for her to experience a brand new sport! "And this here is the perfect example of such pony, getting ready for the extreme sport of "PARAGLIDING"!" Pinkie gave a nod to the camera as she prepares to listen. "All she needs here is a bicycle..." A bike appears under Pinkie, much to her notice. She nodded while giving a smile. "...one parachute and nerves of steel." Pinkie smiles as a packed up parachute appears on her back. The mare looks brave and confident as she gets ready to begin. "Oh, and you also will need a little shove." "Huh?" Pinkie asked confused. Suddenly a hoof came out from out of nowhere and pushed the mare down, causing Pinkie to scream as she begins to cycle down, ready for this. "Now, the extreme sportspony is one excellent bike-rider..." Of course, as the narrator said that, Pinkie's bike ended up falling apart to the point that she ended up riding on a unicycle. "She speeds towards the edge..." And of course, her bike fell apart once more. Now Pinkie is riding on one wheel. "...prepares to launch...AND THERE SHE GOES!" Once the narrator said that, Pinkie ended up flying off the cliff and none too soon. What's left of her bike begins to fall alongside her. The mare looks down into the air as her tail begins to inflate like a parachute, revealing cupcake printer underwear that she's wearing for some reason. Still, Pinkie begins descending down a bit. The pony looks down and smiles, looking around. "At this point, there is always time for a few acrobatic tricks." Upon hearing that, Pinkie pulls her tail back into place before doing some tricks. She did air cartwheels, air swimming...heck, the random Earth pony even clung onto multiple clones of herself to do a synchronized air show. Once that's done, Pinkie waves goodbye to her selves who opens up their parachute. Though our favorite pink pony doesn't realize that she's getting closer to the ground! "As the ground looms, time for her to activate her parachute." Pinkie didn't hear the narrator; she is too busy relaxing in the sky itself. "HEY! ACTIVATE YOUR PARACHUTE ALREADY!" Pinkie yelps in alarm as her eyes widened. The pink pony begins looks for her cord as she tries to pull it. "Oh, one more thing...it also helps if you open your parachute right above you." Too late; Pinkie ended up pulling the parachute from behind, causing her to get wrapped up the bindings of the things. All she could do now is screamed for help. "And finally, our paracycler lands like a gentle...falling...feather." WHAM! The narrator spoke too soon: Pinkie made a huge impact onto the ground, making a hole shaped like her. Ouch, that's gotta hurt. "Hoo boy; and that...apparently...concludes today's Extreme Sports! Excuse me while I call an ambulance." Some parts of Pinkie's parts fell into the hole just as the mare came out, a wheel stuck to her head. She groans, "I'm okay...owie..." THE END A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION ------------ Once the cartoon is done, everyone applauds eagerly, another great one! In the kitchen, Mr. and Mrs. Cake looks at a giant chocolate cake with a smile. The husband said, "Double Chocolate Chip Cake with special frosting! Our guest will love. At least for once, we kept the babies from eating it." "It helps if they are busy playing with Flurry Heart." Mrs. Cake giggled as she looks at her foals playing with Flurry Heart, much better than last time. "This is for royalty and..." Suddenly, the doors were kicked open, causing the couple to scream as they ended up being send into the cake. The one responsible, Zephyr Breeze, looks around as he calls out, "Yo, where's the princess? Where is she??" The stallion turns, seeing Mr. and Mrs. Cake stuck in the same cake. "Wow! Looks like you two really live up to your name for once, ha ha ha!" "Hey!" Mr. and Mrs. Cake yell out in annoyance. "Well, love to stay and chat, but I got a princess to look for!" Zephyr Breeze remarks as he flies off, but came back and puts a hoof into the cake to taste it. "Oh yeah, love this stuff!" Mr. and Mrs. Cake groans as the guest flies off eagerly. --------- Sunburst was using a spell to help bring orders for everyone, calling out, "All right, now..." "HELLO!" Zephyr laughs as he flies past causing Sunburst to scream and fell down, causing everyone's orders to crash and fall everywhere. His eyes widened in shock and horror as the one responsible came back. "Wow, tough luck, bub; should've watch where you're going." As Zephyr flies off, Sunburst recovers as Rainbow and Starlight came up to him with annoyed looks. The rainbow Pegasus pony groans, "I take it Fluttershy's brother caused trouble for you." "Yes....what did he do to you?" Sunburst asked, recovering from the incident. "Zephyr messed up an important homework assignment from Twilight!" Starlight exclaims in frustration. "Twilight wanted an essay on the new season and Zephyr wrote all over it!" "As for me, Zephyr ruined my special statue of myself!" Rainbow exclaims in annoyance while slapping herself. "Then he tried to hit on me again. Now you see why I don't like him?" "Ugh!" The couple groans as they slapped themselves on the foreheads. No doubt about it, Zephyr Breeze is a trouble maker! Pinkamena was watching this as she growls, "Alright, Zephyr is now starting to get on my nerves, if no one does something, I am going to take action and cram that Pony into a Tuba!!": "I am annoyed as you are, but everything should get better soon, we just have to wait." Golden Heart said to Pinkamena, making her groan in frustration. "Well it better, because Zephyr is now walking on very thin ice!!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few moments later, Applejack, Nyx, Phobos, Spike, Ben, Brian, Rainbow, Sunburst, Starlight, and Rarity are busy in the backstage area, fuming angrily. Twilight came out of the bathroom, looking around to see everyone upset. "Is there anything wrong?" Twilight ask a bit nervous. "Oh, wanna know what's wrong, sugar cube," Applejack groans out to Twilight with a frown. "Well, some punks kept giving Starlight the cold shoulder, other countries got our new episodes earlier than the U.S., and that dumb human whose name I don't wanna say kept making us look bad in his Starfleet fics!" "No, no, I mean what's going on out here!" As Fluttershy came in, Ben groans out, "Twilight, sorry if we're grumpy, but it's Fluttershy's brother, he's ruining the whole club!" "Right, word is, he's the pain in everyone's flank!" Brian remarks with a groan of his own. "Yeah, right, yeah," Rainbow, Sunburst and Starlight yells out angrily as the Cakes came in, each of them are out but some layers were still stuck. "He ruined the cake we made for him!" Mr. Cake complains to the princess. "Right, he even ruined the Dragon game Phobos and I have been playing!" Nyx complains to her mother with a frowning face. "Eh!" Phobos growls as he nodded. "Come on, it isn't that bad, right?" Twilight ask her friends in concern. "Oh, it is!" Melody scowls as she and her band came up to Twilight, giving a paper to look over. "Wait, bill for damages?!" "She broke all our instruments and we can't play without them! We're leaving, goodbye!" With that, the Rockin' Beats storms out of the club's doors, much to the concern of everyone. Looks like the musical act has split the scene! "So much for our musical act," Twilight groans out in disbelief as she held her own head, "Fluttershy? We got to do something about your brother!" "I know! I know we have to be polite to a delegate to royalty because of the policy...but enough is enough!" Fluttershy exclaims in agreement. "Yeah, somepony got to tell your brother to behave himself!" Twilight agrees with a frown. Of course, the others yelp in alarm as they quickly pretended to be doing something else or being busy at the moment. Obviously, they don't wanna deal with Zephyr Breeze again! Twilight Sparkle groaned, "You know what? I'm gonna do what I should have done. And hopefully, he gets the message." "No, Twilight. I'll be the one to do it. I should have done it when he walked into House of Pony. He is my brother, after all..." "Still you should let me in. And just in case, he tried to be funny again." The others sighed in relief. Hopefully Zephyr Breeze will get the message! -------------------- Zephyr Breeze was curiously looking around in a dressing room which was given to Ben and the others. And the Pegasus hadn't wasted time in messing the place up. But he still hasn't seen Twilight Sparkle anywhere. Suddenly, a knock came at the door, making Zephyr called out, "Yo, come on in!" Twilight and Fluttershy came into the dressing room, both with disapproving frowns on their faces. "Hello, princess! I was wondering where you've disappeared to." "Zephyr Breeze, I'm not pleased with what you're did." Twilight said with a groan to Fluttershy's brother. "What you're talking about?" Fluttershy spoke up sternly, time to put her hoof down, "My friends have been complaining about you being rude to customers and damaging our properties! I am ashamed and disappointed of you!" "I just wanna be like her, sis." Zephyr Breeze said, giving an awkward look to everyone. "Be like someone is one thing, but doing something so irresponsible is another! And If I were you, you'd better start behaving yourself! And I mean now! I still don't know why and how Cunning Fury chose you to be delegate in the first place!" "But sis... I-!" Twilight hold up one hoof, not having it; She spoke sternly, "Zephyr, you need a timeout. Until you're behaved, you are not allowed to leave this room until we say so! Got it?!" The two leaves the room, leaving the saddened brother behind. Zephyr Breeze groaned, "Aw man..." Still, the two got a point. He got a lot to think about what the girls just said. ----------- Twilight came back onstage, smiling as she said, "Okay, ponies; Time for a cartoon about learning to behave, and here's hoping one certain pony gets the idea.” The audience applauds as the final cartoon of the night begins. ----------- JUSSONIC PRESENTS... A FLUTTERSHY STORY How To Be A Gentle-Mare It was early in the afternoon as our favorite mare happily trots down the street, humming a bit. Just then, she saw something of interest, rolling her way, causing the pony to ask, "Huh?" Suddenly, a giant red carpet rolls out, causing the yellow pony to trip and fall. As she recovers, Fluttershy shots a stallion in a prim and proper tuxedo coming over and turning as he started trotting. She watches him going up some stairs and entering some kind of building. The Pegasus pony got up, what is that all about? Fluttershy spots a sign on top of the door, making her ask, "'Ponyville Country Club'?" Fluttershy looks and saw an amazing sight behind the building: a large open area with ponies playing golf, tennis and having large pools! Fluttershy peers through the gate, seeing from the windows that there was a fine dining area to boot. "Wow, I'm country, and I got a club, a golf one." Fluttershy said thoughtfully. "Maybe these ponies will let me inside to play a few games." Fluttershy got out a cowboy like hat that Applejack got for her and pulls out a large golf club, which looks like some sort of wooden club to be honest. Now she's ready, so the mare trots up towards the club, holding her golf club with ease in. Fluttershy can't wait to come in and play golf! As Fluttershy enters, she spoke, "Uh, howdy, as Applejack would say." "What, are you a member?" A filly behind the counter asks Fluttershy with a frown as she notices her. "Err, a member? What do you mean?" "Miss, if you aren't a member, I will have to ask you to leave the premises, now!" "Wait, wait. Can you tell me what I have to do to be a member?" Fluttershy ask the filly hopefully. "Well, one thing, don't come in here looking like that!" The filly scowls rudely at Fluttershy, making her yelp, "SECURITY! GET THIS FREELOADER OUT OF HERE!" Before Fluttershy could protest, she finds herself screaming as security kicks her right out of the club and right back onto the streets. The Pegasus pony got up groaning just as her golf club was thrown out with her, hitting the poor pony on the head. "Owie," Fluttershy sighs as she looks over. "Oh, I got to get into that building. I just wanted to play some golf..." "Hey! Fluttershy!" "Eep," Fluttershy exclaims while looking around. "Oh, aren't you that narrator that Pinkie spoke about?' "Sure am! Ever wanted to join a club that doesn't want you as a member?" "Well, just recently." Fluttershy said with a slow nod. "Well, in order to become a member of such an elite and prestigious club like that, one must become a gentle-mare!" "'Gentle-mare'; don't you mean lady?" Fluttershy ask the narrator puzzled. "Is this a 'How To' Sketch'? I thought you only do this stuff with Pinkie!" "Normally I would, but she's still recovering from the previous one, so you will have to do. Also 'gentle-mare' is a good pun to use; Now then, let us begin with..." ---------------------------------- "THE GENTLE-MARE'S FASHION!" Fluttershy is standing in front of a blue background on a checkered floor. She listened closely as the narrator continues. "One got to avoid a fashion statement such as..." Suddenly a neon arrow sign that said "LOSER" appears near the pony, making Fluttershy yelps in shock. The arrow soon disappeared, much to her concern. "So get rid of those old rags!" "Eeep," Fluttershy yelps as she stands back a bit. "I don't want you to take my fur off! I don't wanted to be shaved naked like Pinkie did one time!" "Hmmm, you're right. Well, time to explore the true gentle-mare's wardrobe." A changing screen covers up Fluttershy for a moment before being moved aside. She is now wearing a tuxedo with a top hat and green ring. The Pegasus pony said meekly, "Uh, yay?" "Oops. I said gentle-MARE's clothing. Sorry, got confused for a moment." The clothes left Fluttershy's body before they are replaced a few seconds later by a fine dress and necklace. Fluttershy grins as she shows off a bit. "Oh yes, a dress; Always classy!" Fluttershy giggles as she turns around...revealing that the pony was wearing a cardboard cut-out of the dress on the front, revealing her to still be herself on the back. The mare giggled, "Got to be half-price!" "Huh. Well, we will get the dress on right by the time we get to the next part; Speaking of which..." --------------------------------------- "The Gentle-Mare's Elocution!" "Electrocution," Fluttershy, now wearing a prop dress, yelps as she trots off. "No! I don't wanna be electrocuted!!!" "Err, no, Fluttershy, not electrocution; EL-O-CUTION; as in the proper way of speaking." "Oh, really," Fluttershy ask relieved yet puzzled. "But why do I need to speak? I do so just fine." "Is that so?" "Yes, so," Fluttershy said with a nod yet concerned by how the narrator said that. "Err, is there a problem?' "Well, to make an example, how would someone like you greet, say...the queen of the Hippogriffs?" Sure enough, Fluttershy spots Queen Novo, the queen of the Hippogriffs turned seaponies nearby on her throne; must be here for the next lesson. "Oh, hey Novo," Fluttershy said with a wave. Suddenly Queen Novo frowns as she hits her with the staff, making the mare shakes her head. "Oh, that isn't right? Err, hello, No?" Queen Novo hits Fluttershy with the staff once more, making Fluttershy shakes her head. She spoke, "Your Royal Pain?" Queen Novo hits her with the staff once more, making the poor pony yelps, "OW!" As a response, Queen Novo hits Fluttershy with the staff once more. Fluttershy spoke, "Oh, sorry! All I said was ow." "Nothing personal, just part of the lesson," Queen Novo explains as she hits Fluttershy over the head once more. The Pegasus pony rubs her as she turns to the camera with a frown. What to do now? "Well, one should bow gracefully say, 'My dear Queen, how delightful it is to make your acquaintance'." Fluttershy, smiles. She got the idea. The mare turns back to Queen Novo as she bows, speaking, "'My queer dear, how delightful to acquaint your maintenance'." Needless to say, Queen Novo hits Fluttershy with the staff, causing the pony to fall to the ground, having one cactus sized bump on the head. "Was that necessary?" Queen Novo ask the camera skeptically. She didn't wish to hurt Fluttershy, even for a lesson. ---------- Fluttershy, a few moments later, was back on her feet. She nod, ready for the next part of the lesson. "Now mastering a tongue twister is also another way to improve diction." Fluttershy, getting the idea, put some throat spray into her mouth. Time to speak clearly! A record player appears next to her which the pony turns on, ready for the tongue twister. "The gritty gaucho grabbed his glassy-green gargoyle and grappled with the gangly gardener." "What?" Fluttershy ask a bit puzzled by that. "Why would he do that? That's odd, even for Pinkie!" "Just a tongue twister, try not to think about it. Again..." The words appeared on screen followed by a bouncing ball that hits the words themselves. "The gritty gaucho grabbed his glassy-green gargoyle and grappled with the gangly gardener." Fluttershy just frowns as she looks at the words. As the yellow pony turned a few of them around, she spoke, "To be honest, it may be easy for you to say but those words are backwards for me." "Fluttershy, relax. Just repeat what I say and don't worry about the words and the bouncing ball below. Now again..." "But who is that gardener?" Fluttershy ask while grabbing the bouncing ball that was about to jump on the words. But suddenly, the Pegasus pony yelps as she begins to bounce all over. "Whoa, hey! Eeep!" Fluttershy was sent flying offscreen as a crash was hard. "Hoo boy; moving on..." ------------------------------------ "The Gentle-Mare's Dining!" Fluttershy is now sitting at the head of the table in the dining room. There are a lot of food sitting at the table. "The next step to becoming a gentle-mare is learning how to eat." "Eat? Well, I think I know how to do that!" Fluttershy exclaims happily. "BUT grabbing at food and gobbling down like a pig is kinda Pinkie's thing, not mine." "Good, then I won't remind you not to use hooves to eat or gobbling down food noisily. Plus, the spitting food part is gross." "Right, okay." Fluttershy said as she shuffled her hooves, waiting. A few moments later, Fluttershy was wiping her mouth off with her napkin, having a great meal. "Finally, the gentle-mare doesn't leave until she has eaten everything right in front of her. And yes, I know that would be Pinkie's style, but at least humor the audience by doing the next part!" Fluttershy nodded meal as she pushes her chair away while getting up. Then, with unexplainable strength, the Pegasus pony lifts the table, eating it and the contents which resulted in her having a big balloon belly. Once that's done, Fluttershy burps out a fork before chuckling, "Excuse me; Got to have my iron." "Uh, okay, maybe we should've skipped that gag. Let's move on to the next lesson, shall we?" ------------------------------------------------ "The Gentle-Mare's Poise." Fluttershy stood there with a polite pose, dress and all. The mare gives out a happy smile. "The only rule is that no matter what happens, a gentle-mare must always maintain her poise." "Oh, well, do your worst. I'm cool as a cute little bunny." Fluttershy giggles a bit. "Well, we'll see what happens. All time, let's do this!" Fluttershy kept her pose as an angry filly rushes up, hitting her on the head with her purse. As she leaves, all the Pegasus pony does is bow gracefully over to her....just as a bulldog came over and bit her on the tail. Surprisingly, Fluttershy didn't react to that. Next, a safe landed right on Fluttershy. But surprisingly, she came out of it carefully, calm and collected still. Heck, even when a gaggle of Royal Guards came out with weapons passed her by, the mare is covered with the weapons...yet she didn't flinch or even scream. Fluttershy throw her "coat" aside as a speeding train runs her over, resulting in the pony becoming flat. Luckily, she got up with a calm and cool smile on her face, alive still. A wave of water splashes the pony, leaving her wet and with a giant trout and starfish on her face. The yellow pony, on the other hoof, calmly removes them. A bomb rolled over towards Fluttershy who put a foot on it calmly, stopping the bomb. Then the bomb blows up, leaving Fluttershy an ashen mess and with her clothes fallen off. But still is still calm and collected as the said clothes came back. "Well, what do you know? Good job, little pony! You are indeed now composed as a bunny!" Of course, the narrator spoke too soon as Fluttershy fell to pieces...literally. "Okay, I spoke too soon. Let me fix you up." ------------------------------------------ We return to the streets of Ponyville with Fluttershy now in a dress, doing a gentle-mare's trot. She is about to go into the country club and shows how much of a lady she is! "And thus, we return to where we began. This time, this simple mare has been transformed into a perfect gentle-mare! No lesson has been left out, no crease has remained unironed. Nothing could go...oh horse feathers..." The narrator said the last part for a good reason: Fluttershy came into the club in a dress all right...but she is wearing some undies without realizing it or even noticing it. Hoo boy! Fluttershy came into the place, smiling at the filly at the sign-up booth who had her kicked out before. She spoke up, "Excuse me, my dear lady, but I would like to join up as a member of your club." The filly gave an odd look at Fluttershy as she ask, "Say, aren't you that pony who tried to come in here two hours ago?" "Oh yes. But I am changed now, a new pony to be precise. Where shall I sign up?" "How about...NEVER, YOU UNDERWEAR WEARING WEIRDO; SECURITY!" Before Fluttershy knew it, she was once again kicked out, being send screaming right onto the streets. The mare got up, giving an annoyed look to the offscreen narrator. "Oh yes, figures; I guess I should've remind you to not put on your underwear outside your dress! But then again, why should I bother reminding a silly clumsy dumb pony like you? You would never get into a country club! What was I even thinking?! You just mess up, you dumb pony! Typical!" "How dare you?! I am tired of ponies mocking and mistreating me!" Fluttershy yells out angrily as she pulls out the same large golf club from before. "YOU WANT A CLUB?! I WILL SHOW YOU ONE!!!" "Wait. Hang on, let's not get ha...OUCH! HEY, YOW! STOP, OUCH; MY HOOVES!" A few seconds later, after she's done beating up the narrator, Fluttershy happily hums to herself, carrying her golf club as she leaves the mangled and beaten up narrator. The mare is going to play a round of golf now! "Ouch...well, that's what I call a gentle-mare's club..." THE END A JUSSONIC PRODUCTION ----------------------------------------------------- Once the cartoon is done, everyone in the room applauded eagerly. Another good one! Back in the backstage area, Zephyr Breeze begins reading a book of being a gentle-mare in a comfy chair. Phobos was sleeping nearby near him. "Well, I got to admit, girls. You got Zephry Breeze to behave himself," Ben said as he, Twilight and Fluttershy watches from nearby. "Yes, it was a bit harsh of us, but he needed to understand." Fluttershy explains calmly to Ben. "Hopefully he will shape up by the end of this show." "Which brings us to another problem; we still don't have a musical act." Twilight said with a sigh. It's true, with the Rockin' Beats gone, there is nothing to close on the show on! "Oooh, no act you say? I have one! Put me out on stage so I will do an ice show!" Rarity squeals as she skates by on ice skates. But the mare yelps as she slipped and crashes nearby. "Ouch. I'm okay." "Like I said, we still don't have a musical act." "Uh, hey, princess," Zephyr Breeze spoke out, getting the girls and Ben's notice, "I was listening in, and I was wondering if it's all right to politely make a suggestion." The trio looks a bit surprised at that. Looks like Fluttershy's brother is shaping up! The yellow pony spoke, "Okay, we're listening, Zephyr." ----------- Back onstage, Spike gives a smile as he spoke, "And now, the House of Pony proudly presents....Fluttershy and Zephyr Breeze!" The audience applauds as the stage lights up to reveal a set piece that resembled Fluttershy's cottage. As a song to a familiar tune begins to play, the yellow Pegaus sings first. Fluttershy: I never claimed to be perfect My mistakes are all written in ink None of us claimed to be perfect And it's sad if that's what you all think Zephyr flew in as backup singers perform as well during the song. Zephyr Breeze: Our flaws helped to make us special They bond us and keep us strong Our flaws are what brought us together So stop actin' like somethin's wrong Fluttershy with a grin dances around as the duo sings together. Duet: We're not flawless We're a work in progress We've got dents and we've got quirks But it's our flaws that make us work Yeah, we're not flawless We're a work in progress So tell me what flaws you got, too 'Cause I still like what's flawed about you The male Pegasus combs his mane a bit, smirking as he continues his song. Zephyr Breeze: They say I'm a big joke That makes me a big loser in Equestria. But doesn't mean I have to be one Cause there's more to than I look Fluttershy: Sure, my brother can be a problem. A bit big slacker, it's true Zephyr Breeze: And I can be too eager to please There's such thing as bein' too honest, too, 'cause Fluttershy giggles as her brother appears to be in a Ben Valorheart outfit. He spins around as the duo sings together once more. Duet: We're not flawless We're a work in progress We've got dents and we've got quirks But it's our flaws that make us work Yeah, we're not flawless We're a work in progress So tell me what flaws you got, too 'Cause I still like what's flawed about you Fluttershy sighed: Ponies think I'm too timid and too shy That I'm nothing but a coward And I might not be strong and brave But I'm just so happy to have friends Zephyy Breeze patted her on the back. Fluttershy cheers up as he sings next. Zephyr Breeze: Love and Kindness are her greatest gifts So, her heart is full of gold Fluttershy: But nopony has to be perfect By now, don't you know us so well? Because, yeah The duo now stood back to back as they finishes their song up. Duet: We're not flawless We're a work in progress We've got dents and we've got quirks But it's our flaws that make us work Yeah, we're not flawless We're a work in progress So tell me what flaws you got, too (Fluttershy: You got, too) 'Cause I still like what's flawed about you Once the song's over, the audience applauds, enjoying the musical number. Fluttershy smiles as she turns to Zephyr who gave her a nod in return. "It seems Fluttershy and Twilight were able to deal with Zephyr Breeze, I really was planning to cram him into a Tuba." Pinkamena said, a bit impressed with the song. Golden Heart spoke in agreement, "I am glad as well." "Well it might depend on what awaits us on next House of Pony, but till then stay tune all of you readers." ------------------- The folks applauded as Twilight smiles, preparing to wrapped up the show, "Well, folks, got to say. Thanks for letting us do our usual show! And we would like to thanks today's musical guest, Zephyr Breeze!" The audience applauded once more with the spotlight going on Zephyr Breeze who waves while saying, "Hey, thanks! And may I say, Twilight, you look marvelous out there yourself! And I've learned my lesson! I will behave myself and be careful not to ticked off Cunning Fury. I'm thinking he send me here to learn manners." "I bet! Just tell him that you, he, and the Mystic Ponies are welcome here anytime! All right, Spike, take us out!" Spike smiles as he said, "You got it, Twilight! Royal guest of the House of Pony sponsored by..." ------------ "Mystic Tao! The Mysterious Mystic Warriors! We see a picture of Tao smiling on screen for a moment, then we see him performing magic, going on a tea parties, hanging up a star on a tree with Twilight, and playing with puppets. "Taqo is available for magic teaching, tea partieis, holidays, and of course, the usual puppet shows!" We now see Tao grinning while looking at his schedule, tapping on the words "Mystic Tao's Royal Treatment". on it. "Get the Mystic treatment from Mystic Tao! You will feel just like a Mystic Pony in no time!” A picture of an angry Mystic Tao's head is seen as his head appears to be exploding. Spike adds in a low voice, "Caution, try not to violate the "Mystic Tao Phoenix Temper" clause." ------- As everyone applauded, Twilight with a smile said, "That's all for today! See you real soon!"
