[DJ's P.O.V. Near Sugarcube Corner]
"Isn't this awesome?!" I shout excitedly to my music partner, Vibes.
"I guess," Vibes replied nonchalantly.
I simply gaped at him. "Dude! The best party pony in all of Equestria wants us to play at a huge event for her! How is that not awesome?" I ask a little angrier than I intended to.
Vibes gave me a surprised look."We have already played at one of Equestria's biggest events so a party seems miniscule at best. Even a Pinkie Pie party can't surpass that," Vibes explained plainly, "Besides we are about ten minutes late."
"You’re insane," I continued, giving Vibes a look of disgust.
"Whatever," he replied sounding annoyed.
The remainder of the time walking to the Corner was filled with silent tension.
As we neared the Corner Vibes ran ahead and knocked on the door. Nopony answered.
With a sigh I went up and knocked on the door myself hoping for a different result. Instead I got the same answer.
At that point Vibes and I shared a quick look of mutual annoyance not at the ponies behind the door, but the DOOR itself. As if the DOOR was not passing on our knocks.
Feeling desperate an idea occurred to me. I ran a few feet away from the door.
"Uh DJ," Vibes said, failing to gain my attention.
With an angry battle-cry I ran towards the door. A few feet from the door I jumped, trying to kick the door down.
"Yoooooow!" I yell in pain. I roll on the floor holding onto my damaged leg.
"DJ why didn't you just use your pipe to create a portal on the other side?" Vibes asked with a disappointed sigh.
"...Because that would have been boring?" I ask hopefully.
Vibes gave me a look of disbelief and facehoofed.
As he did that I saw the door open to reveal a grayish brown zebra with blue stripes with a look of horror on his face.
Vibes and I exchanged a mutual look of worry.
"Hi Bass, what’s up?" Vibes asks shifting uncomfortably.
Bass answered with two words,"Food fight."
"Come on. It couldn't have been that bad could it?" I ask smirking.
"Yes," Bass said seriously staring hard at me and Vibes.
[Ten minutes ago at Sugarcube Corner. Bass's P.O.V.]
"Wohoo! Party!" I yelled running into the Corner's front door.
My jaw dropped when I saw what was before me.
I saw the stallions on one side of the store and the mares on the opposite side. They were throwing sweets at one another.
I stood there, frozen in confusion at the event before me.
"There’s a stallion girls. Get him!" I heard Pinkie command eagerly.
The world seemed to slow down as Pinkie tossed a cupcake straight to my face.
I closed my eyes, awaiting the impact of the sweet on my face.
When I didn't feel anything hit my face, I regained my senses. In front of me was a shield of what looked like shadows.
"Quick come on!" Adven yelled, waving me to join him and the other stallions on their side.
Not wanting to get cupcaked to death [Although I can't think of a more delicious way to die.] I ran full tilt towards their side. As I neared it I jumped over their barrier.
"What is going on?!" I yell hysterically.
I felt myself get slapped by a hoof. "Calm down!" a voice yelled authoritatively.
I take a few quick breaths. "Ok. Ok I am cool," I said calmly. Who I saw before me was the white unicorn from the tournament, but now he was wearing a punch bowl with eye holes on his head.
"Good. Now then Shadow you and Rhino man the slings!" the white unicorn commanded turning around to face Shadow and Rhino.The slings were just slingshots.
"Where did you get these?" I ask shocked that they would even have slingshots.
"Gotcha sir!" Shadow said giving a quick salute before he went to go man his sling.
"Whatever you say, Rage sir!" Rhino said going to man his own sling.
"Pinkie Pie,"I hear Adven answer from behind me. I nod my understanding. Then I turn around in shock from hearing his voice. "Adven!" I yell happily.
I see him a few feet away from the barrier but on our side.
"Dude what happened?! Why is this happening?!" I yell as the fighting between the two sides intensified.
He placed a hoof on his chin lost in thought. "Well I guess it all began at the start of the party," he explained calmly.
[Twenty minutes ago. Adven's P.O.V.]
"Well this should just be about it, "I said proudly as I finished setting up the last decoration.
"Thanks for the help Adveny!" my marefriend exlaimed, happily bursting into the room with a cake.
I sniffed the air and felt my mouth water uncontroallably.
"Soooooooooo. Since I was so helpful do you think I could have a little piece?" I beg inching my way closer and closer to take a bite out of the cake.
"Sure you can have a piece Adveny," she answered sweetly.
"Yes!" I exclaim grabbing a nearby knife. Before the knife could connect I felt a hoof stop me.
"Not until the others show up though silly," my marefriend chuckled.
I sighed. And stood there staring at the cake. I was painstakingly waiting for my friends to arrive.
"Hey Adveny did you tell Vibes and DJ to come over?" Pinkie asked me pulling me from my thoughts of delicious cake.
"Ya I can't imagine why they aren't here yet," I grumbled sourly.
Five minutes passed and everypony had arrived except for Bass.
The mares went to talk amongst themselves and the stallions followed suit.
Rhino was talking to Shadow about spells or something. Golden,Shadic and that griffin hadn't shown up but I anticipated that. [Golden took his lost hard and put himself right back to training. Shadic wasn't a pony to show up on time even to a party. The griffin was too battered and bruised to even walk let alone party. He was in the hospital.]
Rage, the white unicorn with an attitude, approached the table with the cake, fueled by his monstrous appetite.
He grabbed the knife but I stopped him. "Sorry but there is no eating the cake until everypony shows up," I explained, annoyed at the concept myself.
He remained silent and continued to cut the cake. As soon the knife hit the cake something struck me.
"Adven!" I hear my marefriend yell demonically. "You pinkie promised nopony would eat the cake until everypony showed up!"
Being desperate I quickly grab the others and tossed the nearby foodtable to the ground.
As she approached nearer she pulled out two slings. When she got closer she pulled out gumdrops from somewhere and began firing.
I panicked looking for a weapon. Until I was suddenly hit with inspiration.
Pinkie continued her assault with gumdrops. The others were huddled against the table.
I quickly took to the air and threw a projectile right at my marefriend. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry,"I say as the projectile hits her head.
Pinkie stood there in shock. "Which one of you have done this?!" she yelled at the overturned table. "Which one of you threw this block at my little pony head?!"
“That is a stinking muffin!” Rage yelled pointing out the obvious.
Pinkie fumed at the joke. She huffed and looked straight up to find me floating there.
I smiled sheepishly. Pinkie answered by throwing both of her slingshots at me.
They accompanied me to the ground.
"Ok. I am going," Rage said preparing to leave the barrier. As he neared the door we all heard a splat followed by laughing.
"Okay. That’s how you want it?!" he yelled angrily. "Then you can have it!" he jumped back behind our shield.
He took the punchbowl and dumped it out. He proceeded to cut two eyeholes and placed the bowl on his head. After he was done donning his headwear he began barking orders to us.
[Ten minutes ago. Bass's P.O.V.]
"And that is how it all started," Adven said blushing.
"...Was it worth it?" I ask curious.
Adven chuckled. "I got a small taste of the cake and you know what? Yeah it was completely worth it," Adven answered completely serious.
"...You answered that too quickly," I said accusingly.
Before Adven could reply a cupcake landed between us.
"Well I guess I've been drafted," I said scooping up some nearby sweets.
I yell an amazing battlecry until I throw the sweet mess in my hand at the ladys.
I hear a few of the mares scramble until I hear a squish and a scream.
"Score!" I exclaim proudly.
"Oh it is on!" I hear a voice yell.
Out of fear I duck under the table. The room enters a deadly menacing silence.
The only sounds that can be heard are hammers pounding and a drill.
I exchange worried looks with the others awaiting the worse.
A couple minutes passby until a thing that resembles a merry go round is placed in the middle of the Corner. Nopony did anything because we didn't want to make it worse on us.
"Twilight. Activate the machine!" I hear Pinkie exclaim excitedly. I soon hear a switch being flipped and mechanized noises come from the mechanical merry go round.
"I don't like that sound,"Shadow said worriedly.
The sounds continue for what seems like hours but then...nothing.
"Talk about anticlimatic," I hear dRhino say strangely disappointed.
"Yeah what a jip!" I added annoyed at the unfunctional machine.
Rage and Adven get in on the conversation as the volume rises.
"Wait...do you guys hear that?" Rage says noting a strange sound.
We all nod and turn our attention back to the merry go round.
"It kinda sounds like a spring being twisted but that would mean," I think aloud. As if on cue the merry go round springs the other way causing it to spin all over the Corner. It gathered sweets and threw them wildly all over the Corner.
All I can think to do is hide timidly behind the barrier. As I did this I heard sounds of terror and pain fill the air as sweets hit ponys in their faces .
I watched as my men all were mowed down before me. Adven, Rhino, and even Shadow weren't spared from the merry go round's wrath. I however found Rage laying down with his legs under piles of sweets.
I quickly run to him to ensure he is okay.
"Recruit. I feel cold," he says as I near his position.
I look back to his legs and say,"Sir the enemy used ice cream cake."
"Oh," he uttered laying himself back down and decided to sleep. I felt myself tear up. I wiped away the tears and grabbed the punch bowl placing it on my own head. I give him a quick salute and head back to shield myself with the barrier.
I heard the thing continue its rampage now turning on its masters. It crashed before a loud boom echoed throughout the Corner.
[Present. DJ's P.O.V.]
"When I got up everypony was pied," Bass said with a smile. "I guess there is a bright side."
"What is that?" Vibes asked curious.
"I am the last survivor," he answered proudly.
"You mean you were before we came," Vibes replied dryly.
"Nope...Now!" Bass exlaimed throwing pies at me and Vibes. Bass cackled wildly at his victory.
Vibes and I stood up after the pieing.
"Hey I got you. you gotta stay down," Bass pouted bitterly.
"I don't feel like laying on the floor covered in pie," Vibes responded speaking for both of us. "DJ on the other hoof loves pie."
Fuck you Vibes. With a fucking chainsaw!Bass smiled sadistically as he threw a few more pies my way.
I remember seeing metal and then nothing. Owwwww. I think he threw an empty pie tin at my face.
When I came to the Corner was back to normal and everypony were sitting down at a table and laughing.
I picked myself off a blanket of the floor and went to the table where everypony was sitting.
"Morning sunshine," Vibes said smirking.
"What the hay happened?" I groaned in pain.
"Long story," Adven said emphasizing the long part.
"No it isn't. It is actually pretty short," Bass chuckled. "Basically I lied."
"About what?" I say rubbing my head.
"About everything. Truth be told I am surprised you guys believed me. Then again I probably just have a gift for acting!" Bass said smugly.
I stood there with my jaw on the floor. "What really happened then?" I asked curious for the truth.
Everypony exchanged a quick look and they all answered at the same time,"Nope."
They all laughed at that. Even Vibes. Sure tell Vibes and not me. I sighed, defeated.
"Come on DJ. Now it is time for the real party," Vibes said grabbing me and tossing me on a stage.
I nod and we play.
