//------------------------------// // Mission 3: Unlocking the Cabinet // Story: My Little Filly: Fillies and Cookies // by RainbowDashLove //------------------------------// As the ponies were safely on the counter top, everypony heard a bump. All the little fillies jumped up in fright, especially the shy ones, which happens to be Fluttershy. "Eek! W-what was t-that?!" "A monster! ROAR!" Completly forgeting the conversation she had with Flutter earlier, Rainbow Dash tried to tease her. And that did the trick to make Fluttershy flying around, screaming. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Don't eat me monster!" RD tries not to chuckle, as she the moment she saw her flying around like that. Apple Jack motions 'stop' to RD, and she did. "Fluttershy! Come on! Your a heck of a big girl now! Don't let just a teensy little thang scare you!" AJ tries to comfort Fluttershy, but she can't do it with her flying! "Get down here, there's nothin' to worry about!" "How can I NOT worry whe-" Pinkie shoves her hoof onto Flutter's mouth and cuts her off. "Shhh. Did you here that? Sounds like...." Pinkie Pie listens very carefully, and the other fillies followed. "Pinkie, I don't seem to hear any sou-" Pinkie once again cuts off Twilight. "QUIET!!! I wanna hear the pretty sound, that I heard before!" "I think you might be hearing things. Did you clean your ears this morning like you said you did?" Twi stares hard at Pinkie, to know if she's telling the truth. "I swear, to Twilight Sparkle!" she says, and of course, with a smile. "Now just listen!!!" (The fillies listen, and they hear a kind of... shimmering sound) "Wow! That sounds like it could be rare jewel!" Rarity's eyes looks like as if they were diamonds as she said that. "Nuh uh! Sounds more like the Wonderbolts!" suggests Rainbow Dash. "This could be my only chance to get their autographs!!!" "So peaceful.... Like a forest full of lovely creatures!" Fluttershy says softly. "I think it sounds like a very rare chemistry set, being used somewhere, but I can't tell!" "Oh, Twi, always tryin' to sound so smart!" Apple Jack said. "We better get goin', we could get caught by them old fellers!" "Right!" every filly said. They all looked at the cabinet, which they were standing in front of. There on the cabinet, there was a lock, and a few chains around it. "Aw shoot! Our parents must've locked the dang cabinet, and thought that we were gonna steal outta it!" "Well, they aren't wrong AJ!" says Rainbow Dash. "Ok, guys, this might get complicated so let's come up with some idea to open the lock." suggests Twilight. "Does anyone have anything that can break the lock open?" "I'm sorry, but I don't have anything used for breaking. I don't normally break stuff." Sad that she couldn't do any help, Fluttershy looks at the kitchen floor. "Neither have ahI! Ah mean, ah do usually buck with my hooves but in this case, that won't do a single darn thing to budge the lock! So, you're not alone Flutter." AJ smiles and puts her hoof around Fluttershy's back. "I don't think I have anything that I could think of but, I thi-" "PARTY CANNON!" interupts Pinkie, as she holds up her party cannon at the cabinet. "Get ready to, PARTEH!!!" "PINKIE! How? When?" every filly says in unison. "Guys, you seriously have to stop doing that!" she giggles and continues, "Oh, and while you all were talking, I took the time to run back to my family's candy shop! Then I grabbed my party cannon and had the BIGGEST, BESTEST, idea! EVER!" "Good job! I have to say that that's some pretty impressive speed! If I do say so myself!" says Rainbow Dash. "Good job, Pinkie! Now we can get this cabinet crackin'! Letta rip!" says AJ. Pinkie Pie starts to load the Party Cannon. A few loads of heavy party suplies later, she starts to fire the cannon. "Watch out, everpony!" warns Pinkie, as she fires the Party Cannon! KA-BOOM Confetti was blown everywhere! Everypony took a breath, and made a sigh of relief, thanking the Ponies that it was only confetti that had been shot up everywhere. Looking at the cabinet, they all noticed the broken lock. Success! "Whew! What a BLAST!" yells Pinkie, forgetting about her parents. "And so it was!" The fillies turned around to find out that their parents were right behind them. After ALL that! Why the trouble? The fillies got down the countertop, but it was quite hard, especially for Rarity. She didn't want to mess up her 40-dollar hooficure, in front of her mom. After they got down, the fillies begged to their knees to complete their mission. Some just didn't want to get punished. "Mom! Please! We just wanted to have a snack!!! We're soo hungry!!" "Come on fellers! Why can't we have any fun, without you bustin' us up?" "I-i'm sorry Daddy, I-i didn't mean t-to." "Will I still get the chemistry set you promised to give me?" "Please don't take away my party cannon! PLEASSSSEEEEE!!!" "Don't take away my 40-dollar hooficure, Mom! I just got it this morning!" All the fillies' parents looked at each other. They nodded their heads a couple of times and looked back at their fillies. Mrs. Dash laughed, went up to RD, and roughed her hair. "Of course you won't get punished! And we'd be happy to let you eat your snack!" "Mom! You're so embarrassing...." Rainbow Dash's face turned purple, from the combination of her blushing and the color of her coat. "So, what're ya fillies waitin' for? Get to it!" snapped Ms. Jack, and all the ponies opened up the cabinet. Finally, the moment they've been waiting for! Slowly they opened up the cabinet with the same thoughts in their head, Mission completed! Time to get snacking!
