Fancy Pants was hosting a yacht party for Canterlot's elite, including Blueblood (busily mingling with several mares) and Sapphire Shores, who (surprised to get an invitation to this party) quickly learned that it was because Fancy Pants wanted to learn all about her recent encounter with Super Stallion.
"I keep telling you Fancy, he showed up, fought my ponynapper, and flew me back to my concert," Sapphire said to the party host and his supermodel friend, Fleur De Lis. "That's all, we barely even talked."
"Well, that's certainly more dialogue than any other pony here has gotten with him," Fleur said. "Are you sure that you weren't able to get any private information out of him?"
"Like what?" The Pony of Pop asked.
"Perhaps his secret identity?" Fleur asked.
"Sorry no, but I'll be sure to ask him the next time I talk to him." Sapphire, starting to get annoyed, quickly thought of something to change the subject. "By the way, was the captain of the Wonderbolts Spitfire acting as the bouncer for this little party of yours?"
"Yes, yes indeed," Fancy answered.
"How did you get her to do this?"
"Well it's simple really," Fancy Pants answered. "During the Ursa Major attack the race track where the Wonderbolts have their derby was destroyed, so a few ponies such as myself helped the princess to repair the damages by throwing a few extra bits her way."
"That was nice of you," Sapphire replied.
"Well what good is having all those bits if you don't spend it all?" Fancy asked, displaying his generous nature and reminding Sapphire of part of the reasons ponies like him. "When word got to the Wonderbolts about this little party of mine, Spitfire asked to help make sure only invited guests got in. As a way of repaying me."
"Good thing too," Sapphire Shores said. "There was quite a group gathered outside when I got here."
"Yes and it's still there," Fleur said as she looked to where the ponies who weren't invited were still trying to get in.
"For the last time, back off!" Spitfire said to the crowd starting to regret volunteering for this job.
"Come on, let us in!" A pony from the crowd said.
"I'll pay you!"
"I'll pay you double what he's offering!"
"I'll pay triple!"
"I already told you, if you don't have an invitation you aren't getting in!" Spitfire said, making the crowd back off a bit. However, 2 ponies stepped forward both unicorns a male that went by Jet Set and his wife Upper Crust.
"We have special tickets," Jet Set said to Spitfire as he gave her a rather large diamond wrapped in some paper. They then started to walk forward assuming Spitfire would let them in after accepting the diamond.
"Get behind the rope!" Spitfire told the couple in a demanding tone after putting the diamond in her saddle bag.
"But I just gave you a diamond literally bigger than my hoof!" Jet Set replied in a huff.
"Thank you,” Spitfire said with a smile. “Now get behind the rope," she said back to a strict tone. Other ponies there snickered and laughed at the couple.
"Some ponies think they can buy anything," said a strange stallion who was wearing nothing but a white cape. The stallion had just entered the crowd and walked right up to Spitfire. "What do you think?" He asked as he stroked her mane with one hoof.
"I...I..I" was all Spitfire could say as the stallion somehow had her in awe.
"I don't have an invitation," the stallion said as he stopped stroking her then offered her a Blossom.
"Well hey, the more the merrier," Spitfire said as she opened the rope to allow the stallion to enter the party.
"Thanks, hot stuff." The stallion then rewarded Spitfire for her generosity with a kiss right on her lips. Afterwards he entered the party while Spitfire closed the rope and watched him walk away in sheer delight.
"Hey, what's he got that I don't got?" Jet Set asked who as a result got a quick bump from his wife.
"Everything," Spitfire answered, not even turning around. As the stallion quickly made his way to the yacht.
"Who's the green stallion?" Fleur asked.
"I'm not quite sure," Fancy Pants answered.
"I'm not either, but I like his mane," Sapphire Shores answered.
"Well whoever he is there's something about him that I don't like?" Prince Blueblood said who was still in the middle of a small group of mares.
"Perhaps one of us should go talk to him," Fleur suggested. But before anypony had a chance to talk to the stallion, he walked inside the yacht and suddenly several large plant vines appeared from the inside of the yacht. Others appeared from behind the crowd who were quick to flee in terror. The ponies on the yacht had a little more trouble getting away because both the small and the big group of vines were trying to capture them.
"Run for it!" Prince Blueblood told the other ponies. One of the vines grabbed his leg but he was fast enough to use a spell to force it to let go. Fancy and Fleur weren't really the fighting types but they both knew a few spells that made the big group of vines back off with a little help from a few other unicorns that were invited. Spitfire, who stuck around, fought the big group of vines back as well.
"The path's clear, go for it!" Spitfire yelled and most got away. However, several ponies were captured by the vines inside the yacht. Seeing that Spitfire charged the vines and made them release the other ponies who wrapped around her instead. "Run! Get away from her!" Spitfire told the ponies she freed who did as they were told as she was pulled into the yacht by the vines that captured her. "This is the last time I take a job like this."
***
Squeaky Clean was in the personal chambers of the princess cleaning the windows while the princess was sitting by the fireplace enjoying a meal.
"You are doing an excellent job Squeaky," the princess said as she continued to eat.
"Thanks it's what I do," Squeaky replied as he used the reflection of the windows to gaze upon the beautiful princess without her knowing. Squeaky saw her using magic to lift a fork to her mouth. She even looks good when she's chewing. Who looks good when they're chewing? Suddenly a scroll appeared in the room making Squeaky Clean turn his head in surprise.
"Another letter from Twilight," Princess Celestia said.
"Twilight?" Squeaky said as he walked to the scroll. "Oh yeah she's living in Ponyville now and sends you letters about friendship."
"Yes, let's see what she has to report." Princess Celestia was about to get up and stretch her legs while using her magic to lift the letter. But before she could do that Squeaky Clean lifted the letter first.
"It's okay you don't have to get up, I can read it for you," Squeaky said. You look so cute with your legs folded as you sit down I wouldn't want you to stop doing that.
"Oh, thank you, how thoughtful," Princess Celestia said, deciding not to get up and wait until later to stretch because of the nice gesture.
"Dear Princess Celestia," Squeaky said after clearing his throat. "You're not gonna believe what happened in Ponyville." Hearing this they exchanged looks of concern. "Today a friend of Rainbow Dash, a griffon named Gilda, came to town. However, she certainly didn't act like a friend and in the end she left the party cutting ties with Rainbow Dash. I may be new to friendship but based on the limited knowledge I've gathered, it doesn't seem like friends should do that. Why would a friend treat another friend that way?"
"Oh my, this is a tough one," Princess Celestia said as she stood up to think about what to write back.
"So much for my plan to make her stay put," Squeaky whispered.
"What?" Princess Celestia asked, turning her head to Squeaky.
"What?"
"Did you say something?"
"N-no," Squeaky answered. Oh my gosh, did I actually say that out loud? Princess Celestia after taking a moment or two to think, sat by the fireplace and started writing.
"My dearest student," Celestia started but then the ink suddenly vanished. "Oops, wrong ink."
"Wait, you have disappearing ink?" Squeaky asked.
"Yes, does that surprise you?" She asked in a rather mischievous tone.
"Yes."
"Well just because I'm a princess doesn't mean I don't have a sense of humor." Princess Celestia then continued to write. "My dearest student Twilight, sometimes there are those who claim to be your friend but don't have your best interests at heart. There are times when you don't learn that until such times as you are in dire need but they don't help you and leave you in the dust. We must learn the difference between false friends and true friends. Rest assured that a true friend will always be there for you." Upon finishing she used her magic to send it to her student then turned to Squeaky Clean.
"It’s nice to know Twilight is okay, I like her," Squeaky said.
“Yes." Princess Celestia then stood up again. "She's fine, just needed to learn about false friends."
"Have you ever had any of those?"
"I suppose a few times, sometimes ponies try sucking up to me or try to get close to me just to try to be close to royalty when that's all that truly matters to them." She then felt sad as she remembered the few times that happened. "I don't rather care for when they do that, there's more to me than just power and authority."
"I'm sorry that happened," Squeaky said, placing a caring hoof on her shoulder.
"Thank you, I can tell you mean that." Just then the chamber doors opened and Prince Blueblood walked in.
"Auntie, I was attacked by a plant," he said to the princess with a whiny tone.
"A plant?"
"Auntie?" Squeaky then looked at the princess confused at what the pony that just entered had just said.
"Oh that's right, you 2 haven't met. This is Prince Blueblood, he's my great great and so on nephew on my mother's side."
"Your mother?" Squeaky said confused again. "I don't think I've ever heard about your mother from you or history books. What were your parents like? Were they-"
"Uh, who is this pony?" Prince Blueblood asked in a tone that said he didn't care that he interrupted somepony.
"This is Squeaky Clean, a new janitor," Princess Celestia answered. Squeaky then approached the prince and offered him his hoof.
"Hi, nice to meet-"
"Ew a janitor! Keep away from me," Prince Blueblood interrupted again and jumped away to the side to avoid touching Squeaky. "Don't touch me, I've just been groomed." The prince then walked over to the princess who was giving her nephew a stern look. "Auntie, somepony crashed the party I was at, then plants came out of nowhere! We all had to run away. The party was ruined!" He explained to the princess in a tone that was somehow even more whiny than the last one.
"All right calm down," she said while holding a hoof up as a means to tell him to stop. Then she placed the hoof back on the floor. "Did you tell any guards about this?"
"Yes, but when they reported back to me they said that the yacht where the plants came out of was gone," Prince Blueblood answered with the whine in his tone finally gone, but a little bit of panic.
"I see, that is a problem. We should tell everypony to keep a look out for the missing yacht," Princess Celestia replied.
"Okay I believe I can describe the yacht, I wasn't there long, but I do have an eye for detail as you know," Prince Blueblood said with pride.
"Yes," Princess Celestia said, humoring her nephew. "Let's go tell the guards shall we?"
"Yes, though maybe we could get some hors d'oeuvres first?" The 2 royal ponies then walked out of the room, leaving Squeaky Clean to himself.
"Let's see if Super Stallion can find that yacht," Squeaky said to himself. Being in Princess Celestia's chambers, which was in a rather tall tower in the castle, would make it pretty easy for him to slip out of the castle.
***
Super Stallion had taken several circles around Canterlot at a rather high view with a rather high speed. Luckily he ran into Fancy Pants a day or two ago at the store and while they were talking he mentioned a yacht he was going to buy. He showed him an article in a magazine that had a picture of the said yacht and Squeaky always had a good memory. After not seeing it he decided to slow down a bit and take a few more trips around Canterlot but still found no sign of the yacht.
"I don't see it," Super Stallion said as he continued to circle around Canterlot. "Whoever stole it may have left Canterlot, yachts don't exactly fix in a saddle bag." Just as he figured he should head back to the castle he saw a pony out of the corner of his eye. The pony was located just outside Canterlot and was somewhat dangerously close to the edge of the cliff near the waterfall that ran down the mountain Canterlot was built on. Super Stallion flew directly to where the pony was and landed a few feet away from him and got a good look at the pony.
"Hello," the green stallion said.
"Hello," Super Stallion said back.
"Nice day isn't it?" The stallion asked in a pleasant tone but Super Stallion couldn't help but feel an unsettling aura from him.
"You know it’s funny, I don’t think that tree was here before." Super Stallion said.
"You like it?" The green stallion asked as he placed a hoof on the tree. "I planted it myself and even to my surprise it became a full tree in less than a day."
"A day?" Super Stallion said surprised he never heard of any magic that could do that and this stallion was an earth pony. "How did you do that? And who are you?"
"Who am I?" The stallion said as he took his hoof off the tree. "At one time I was known as Briar Hooffield, but now you can call me Pony Ivy!" He then reached into a small saddle bag that his cape was covering and pulled out what looked like a cask. "As for how I did what I did instead of telling you, how about I show you." Pony Ivy then poured the water from the cask and suddenly giant roots appeared from the ground. "I'm so glad that you showed up while I was out here."
"Why?" Super Stallion asked, ready for a fight.
"Because it saves me the trouble of eventually having to track you down," Pony Ivy answered and with that the roots moved to attack Super Stallion. But before they could do anything Super Stallion used a freeze spell stopping them in their tracks.
"You'll have to do better than that!"
"You have to be kidding!" Pony Ivy said in surprise. "Flight capability, super strength, AND magic! What are you? An alicorn that uses a spell to make yourself look like that?"
"Wouldn't you like to know," Super Stallion replied as he charged at Pony Ivy who quickly got more roots to appear. The roots grabbed Super Stallion just before he could reach Pony Ivy.
"Well it looks like the shoe is on the hoof," Pony Ivy said as the roots continued to wrap around Super Stallion.
"Things aren't always as they seem," Super Stallion replied as he flew up in the air. Doing this with the help of his strength broke the roots holding him. "If I stay up in the air it'll be all the more harder for those roots to get me."
"True, but it works both ways," Pony Ivy answered. "While you're up there you can't get to me." Suddenly he dodged another ice spell that Super Stallion casted at him. "Oh right, forgot about that."
"I think this is the part where you give up and return the yacht that you stole."
"I admit, I may have underestimated your abilities and over estimated mine. But with the plan I have cooking, there's no way I can just give up." Pony Ivy then noticed a carriage heading towards Canterlot and summoned a few more roots to attack the carriage.
"NO!" Super Stallion flew to the carriage to get the roots off. By the time he did Pony Ivy was gone.
***
Super Stallion quickly returned to the castle and slipped back in, becoming Squeaky Clean once again. Afterwards he returned to cleaning but he also tried to figure out how Pony Ivy was able to get away so quickly and without being spotted. After about a minute or 2 of cleaning Princess Celestia and Prince Blueblood returned.
"So when will that criminal be caught auntie?" Prince Blueblood asked.
"It's still hard to say at this point," Princess Celestia answered.
"But what if I go to another party and I'm attacked again?" Prince Blueblood asked, worried these attacks would spoil his fun.
"I have an idea," Squeaky replied, getting the attention of the royal ponies. "Princess there are a lot of books about magic here in the castle right?"
"Correct," she answered wanting to see where he was going with this?
"Maybe one of the spells can help locate Pony, er the pony that stole the yacht," Squeaky said. Wow, close one.
"Not a bad idea," the princess replied. "But locator spells can be very difficult to use even for me. If they weren't I would know much more about a certain somepony's social life." The princess then gave her nephew a subtle bump with her front leg.
"I don't know what you're talking about auntie," Prince Blueblood said defensively.
"Oh I'm sure you don't," The princess said playfully. Squeaky Clean continued to finish cleaning the floor.
After work I'm going to search all of Canterlot even harder to find Pony Ivy.
***
It was night time in Canterlot and Super Stallion quickly got to scouring Canterlot after Squeaky's shift ended. "What if he left Canterlot after escaping?" Super Stallion asked himself. Super Stallion then slowed down, losing his passion for finding the plant loving pony. "And if he's still here what are the odds that I'll just see him again like last-" Super Stallion stopped as he saw none other than Pony Ivy standing under what looked like a newly planted tree. "No way."
Pony Ivy started to walk away from the tree and Super Stallion decided to follow him. Since it was night it would be a lot harder for Pony Ivy to see him, Super Stallion on the other hoof could see him just fine thanks to the suit also enhancing his senses. After a while Pony Ivy arrived at the edge of Canterlot and summoned a root that he slid down. Super Stallion waited a minute before following, then flew down to the waterfall where the root ended. Super Stallion then entered the water and just passed the water was a cave entrance.
"So this is how he got away," Super Stallion said, putting the pieces together. "He slid down a root when I was helping the ponies in the carriage. I bet this is where he hid the yacht, too." Super Stallion quickly but carefully explored the cave and came across the yacht. "Called it." Super Stallion entered the yacht to find and take down Pony Ivy but came across a different pony.
"What's good stallion?" A pony hanging from the ceiling because of roots wrapped around her like a cocoon asked. "You're that superhero right? I'm seriously digging that pure aura you got there."
"Yes, I'm Super Stallion. And you are?"
"I'm Treehugger, radical to meet you," she answered. "So listen, could you get me down from here?"
"Oh right, sorry." Super Stallion then pulled the roots off Treehugger and carried her to the floor. "So how did you get yourself stuck up there?"
"Oh, well it all happened when I met this pony who wanted to be a member of the Society of the Preservations of Rare Creatures, such as myself," Treehugger answered. "I talked to him a bit, answered some questions, and he even treated me to dinner. After that he kissed me and," Treehugger stopped to think for a minute. "I can't quite remember what happened next. Between that and me in those roots everything is a blur."
"I see," Super Stallion replied. Suddenly both he and Treehugger felt movement and they could tell that the yacht was moving.
"Oh hey we're going on a trip. I've always wanted to go on one of these," Treehugger said.
"More like a joyride," Super Stallion said. The yacht was rather deep inside the cave but it got out in hardly any time and made its way up the mountain. "Come on Treehugger I need to get you out of here and stop Pony Ivy."
"Oh okay," Super Stallion then picked Treehugger up with his front hooves to carry her. He then proceeded to fly towards the exit of the yacht, but couldn't seem to find it. "Oh no, I think I took a wrong turn."
"Maybe we could ask her for directions," Treehugger said, pointing to another mare trapped in roots who was struggling to get free, to no avail. Unlike Treehugger who was in a cocoon this was more like a root web bound and gagged.
"Wait, I know her! She's Spitfire, captain of the Wonderbolts, what is she doing here?" Super Stallion asked, still carrying Treehugger.
"Maybe we should ask her," Treehugger suggested.
"...Right." Super Stallion then fired beams of magic from his eyes that cut the roots and freed Spitfire.
"Thanks!" Spitfire said happy to be free. "That guy is so getting a beating. I can't believe I thought he was cute!"
"Hi I'm Treehugger, blessings," Treehugger said to Spitfire offering her hoof. Super Stallion then placed Treehugger on the ground as the 3 needed to talk.
"So how did you get yourself involved with Pony Ivy?" Super Stallion asked.
"He crashed a party where I was working as a bouncer, then I was grabbed by roots and pulled me in here. He then explained how he would later be forcing me to spread the things in those barrels around Canterlot." Super Stallion then noticed the barrels Spitfire pointed to and opened them up to reveal the same water that was in Pony Ivy's cask.
"It's the stuff he uses to make the roots appear," Super Stallion realized.
"Deer magic," Treehugger said, shocked.
"What?" Super Stallion and Spitfire said in unison.
"Most ponies don't know this but deer live deep within the Everfree Forest. They've developed their own type of magic which allows trees and plants to grow rapidly," Tree hugger answered. "When he first talked to me about joining the Society for the Preservation of Rare Creatures he asked me a lot of questions about deer magic. I told them that I knew about it quite a lot, but the deer prefer to live in privacy. Before he took me to dinner he kept asking about deer magic and how it worked, at first I thought it was because he was just really interested in it. I mean, who could blame him, magic specifically made to help place life, it's totally groovy if we could get some of the rare creatures my society helps. We could make acres in minutes or -"
"Get on with it!" Super Stallion and Spitfire said in unison again.
"Right, sorry, what was I talking about?"
"THE DEER MAGIC!" Super Stallion and Spitfire yelled in unison.
"Right sorry, I guess during my blur he stole all this deer magic," Treehugger answered.
"Blur?" Spitfire asked, turning to Super Stallion.
"I think he may have hypnotized her," Super Stallion answered.
"That actually makes sense," Spitfire replied. "I was captured by roots and dragged into this yacht but I was able to get free. When I saw that stallion I charged at him and we fought for a bit but he kissed me right on my lips and when I came to my senses I was stuck in those vines you freed me from."
"He's probably planning to dump this over Canterlot or something and was going to make me do it!" Spitfire said, angry at the possibility of being forced to help out in his evil plan.
"Right you are my dear," Pony Ivy said from behind, the 3 ponies turned around and saw the villain. "Since you figured out most of my plan I don't have to worry about explaining it."
"Most but not all," Super Stallion said, ready to fight him again. "What exactly are you going to do? Cover all of Canterlot in roots and vegetation?"
"Exactly!" Pony Ivy said with pride.
"What?" Spitfire, Super Stallion, and Treehugger said in unison.
"Nature does so much, providing all creatures with food and in some cases shelter. How do we repay it? By destroying it to make homes for ourselves," Pony Ivy answered.
"Well of course!" Spitfire retorted. "We make room for ourselves but we leave plenty of places alone and to grow."
"It's not enough! Canterlot is just a start. I'll cover all of Equestria in glorious green and then truly this land will be a paradise," Pony Ivy said with a tone and facial expressions saying he's not bluffing.
"A paradise for who!?" Treehugger asked angrily. "If you spread your green all over Equestria it'll interfere with the life and ecosystems all over it. There has to be a balance, that's what nature is all about. When you came to me, I thought you wanted to help but you're just a." Treehugger suddenly stopped as if she lost her train of thought. "Uh, what's the word I'm looking for?"
"A false friend," Super Stallion said quick to answer. "Somepony who only acts like your friend."
"Yeah, that's it, thank you."
"Well we can work out the kinks afterwards," Pony Ivy answered. Suddenly roots appeared to grab the barrels and carry Pony Ivy to the deck. The trio of ponies quickly followed him to the deck of the yacht that was almost above Canterlot castle.
"We're not going to let you do this," Spitfire said.
"What she said," Super Stallion added.
"I expected as much," Pony Ivy replied and tapped his hoof on the deck several times. "All hooves on deck! All hooves on deck!" He called out and then a dozen or so ponies appeared walking to the deck from the helm. They were walking like zombies and the 3 ponies quickly figured out they were under Pony Ivy's control. "They should keep you 3 off my back, Take them down!" Pony Ivy ordered the hypnotized ponies.
"That's a dirty trick!" Super Stallion.
“There’s nothing wrong with a dirty trick when it’s used for a greater good.” The hypnotized ponies started to attack but just as Super Stallion was thinking what to do, both Spitfire and Treehugger counter attacked some of the ponies.
"I don't really like violence, but times like these are special exceptions," Treehugger said looking at Super Stallion.
"And I didn't become captain of the Wonderbolts without learning a trick or 2 for rumbling. We'll handle these ponies, you stop Ivy," Spitfire said, also looking at Super Stallion.
"Fine with me!" Super Stallion flew and cast a freeze spell breathing out ice and snow until Pony Ivy was completely frozen. "Looks like I stopped you-"
Suddenly Pony Ivy broke free of the ice. "You aren't the only one that found a way to become abnormally strong," Pony Ivy said. Super Stallion then noticed that the roots were on the verge of grabbing the barrels. "The yacht is now completely above Canterlot and when the deer magic pours over the special seeds I planted all over Canterlot-" Pony Ivy stopped when he turned his head to the barrels and noticed they were gone. "What happened to the barrels!?"
***
Princess Celestia was doing some late night work in her chambers and was about ready to finish up and head to bed. But suddenly the doors to her balcony opened and she jumped to her legs ready to fight and call the guards. Super Stallion flew in carrying the barrels with magical aura and placed them next to her.
"Hello," Super Stallion said.
"Hello," Princess Celestia said, still surprised.
"I need you to hold on to these barrels for a little bit."
"Wait, what's in these?"
"I'll explain later." And with that Super Stallion flew out the window before the princess could get another word in. Leaving the princess confused and stunned.
***
Spitfire and Treehugger were still holding their ground against the other ponies but the hypnotized ponies still had some fight in them. "Where did Super Stallion go?" Pony Ivy asked as he was looking around for him. "There's no way he just ran off." Suddenly Super Stallion attacked Pony Ivy out of nowhere and knocked him into at least half of the ponies he hypnotized knocking them out.
"Looking for me?" Super Stallion said, giving Pony Ivy a smug look.
“That was a dirty trick!"
“Now what was that you said about dirty tricks?”
Pony Ivy got up and charged Super Stallion engulfed with rage. Super Stallion however flew out of sight before Pony Ivy could reach him. "Oh no, where did he go now?" He asked, coming back to his senses and looking around. Before he realized it Super Stallion attacked from above and threw him right off the yacht.
"Spitfire!" Super Stallion called out, getting her attention. "There's a cloud right over there- "
"Say no more!" Spitfire flew off and grabbed the cloud and used it to catch Pony Ivy. "Time to make you pay for what you put me through," Spitfire said, staring at Pony Ivy with rage in her eyes.
"Ah come on, let's kiss and make up," Pony Ivy said and he leaped at her, but Spitfire clocked him right in the jaw and knocked him out.
"Kiss that," Spitfire said. With that taken care of, Super Stallion knocked out the remaining hypnotized ponies as gently as possible. He then gave the yacht to the princess and explained everything, Spitfire and Treehugger told their side of the adventure as well. The former hypnotized ponies were returned home after a check up or two, while Fancy Pants finally got his yacht back.
Pony Ivy was arrested by the royal guard and was quickly locked up for multiple ponynapping, theft, and attempt to commit a terrorist act. Finally, with a job well done, Super Stallion returned home for some well deserved rest.
***
The next day, Squeaky Clean was hard at work until he fell asleep as he was resting his head on his mop. Stone Wall eventually found his friend like that and put his mouth right next to his ear. "SQUEAKY!" Hearing that Squeaky quickly woke up then hit Stone Wall on the head with his mop.
"DON'T DO THAT!" Squeaky yelled as he removed the mop and saw the look on his friend's face and quickly came to his senses realizing what he just did.
"Go clean the mess hall Squeaky," Stone Wall said in a calm demeanor.
"Yes captain."
"And after that run around the castle 10 times," He added.
"Yes captain," Squeaky said as he went to the mess hall. Upon getting there he saw that Princess Celestia was there as well.
"Good morning Squeaky," she said with a cheerful smile.
"G-Good morning," He replied. Geez how can she be so gorgeous all the time?
"If you're here to clean I'll be out of your hair in a minute, I'm just getting a snack," she said as she got some food on her plate. "You should have some too, it's good."
"Okay." Squeaky then levitated a plate with his horn and used his magic to place some fruit on his plate and a little dessert.
"Is that all?" The princess asked. "There's some salad here too, why don't you try that?"
"No, I've had my fill of green for a while," Squeaky answered.
"What?"
"Sorry princess, personal joke."

Pony Ivy was quickly placed in a prison far away from pony society. It had a small garden there, but he wasn't allowed anywhere near it, so he took to sitting in his cell and walking around the courtyard by the walls.
Pony Ivy was quickly placed in a prison far away from pony society. It had a small garden there, but he wasn't allowed anywhere near it, so he took to sitting in his cell and walking around the courtyard by the walls. "I wonder just how far away from Canterlot I am?" He asked himself. "They think I'm stuck here, but nature is full of surprises and I'm closer to nature than any other pony. Nature can be put through all sorts of things, but it finds a way, it always does." Pony Ivy then placed his hoof on the ground and a small thin weed appeared from out of the ground. "Nature always finds a way."
