DAY FIVE OF THE PRANK WEEK/WAR
Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and myself AKA "The Prankster Trio", found ourselves up against Starlight "Smug" Glimmer, in a three-on-one prank war, thinking we had ourselves a new patsy for our pranks. But so far, we have been Starlight's patsies! Not only are our pranks not working on her, but she keeps turning them back on us, and the three of us are just getting embarrassed by that pony!
But it's day five of our week-long prank war, so we're not done with Starie yet.
Back in Pinkie's party Cave, we were sitting on the floor in a circle, trying to think of another gameplan. There just had to be a way to do a prank that would work on Starlight, and not have it end with Rainbow, Pinkie and I getting GlimGlamed!
"Okay, Rainbow, Pinkie, we are getting whipped by Starie in this prank war! There gotta be an angle that we haven't tried yet that can work on her."
"I don't know, Eric. Maybe we really can't prank Starlight."
Rainbow wasn't having that, and shook her head hard. "Oh no, Pinkie. I'm not giving up! There just has to be...wait hold on."
"What's wrong, Rainbow?" Pinkie asked.
"I just thought of something. We have been pranking Starlight one prank at a time right? So if one prank won't work, how about we set up more than one?"
I smiled, and said, "Oh, of course, Rainbow! Starie might be able to avoid one prank, but even she'll have a hard time dealing with more than one at the same time!"
"Oh, yeah! Why didn't I think of that?"
Outside the doors of Twilight's castle, we set up three pranks for my favorite Unicorn.
First, we set up a bucket of glitter over the doors, so when Starlight comes out the doors, it'll land on her head.
But if she somehow avoids it, about a foot from the doors, we hid another net on the ground. This time, we made sure it'll be triggered by just one pony, and we kept an eye on that net since we got it, so Starie wouldn't be able to switch it with another one that wouldn't.
And if that mare somehow avoids that net, we placed some itching powder that's next to impossible to see, about two feet ahead of that net, and it's spread out about another three feet. So if she keeps walking, she'll step in it. Yep, we wanted to get her back for that prank she did on us with itching powder!
With all of us standing just outside the range of that itching powder, Rainbow asked, "Are we all set guys?"
Pinkie took a quick look at all the pranks we had set. "Yep, all set, Rainbow!"
"I don't see Starie getting out of this one! At least one of them will get her, and if we're lucky, she'll get caught in all three!"
Rainbow suddenly remembered something, and her eyes got big. "Wait a second. Do you know when Starlight will leave the castle, Eric?"
I facepalmed. "Oops. I forgot to ask Starie when she'll leave! For all I know, she'll spend the rest of the day in the castle!"
"Uh-oh."
"Maybe I could fly in one of the windows, and ask her?"
I shook my head at Rainbow. "That won't work, Rainbow. If you do that, she'll know we're up to something, and would be really careful about going out of the door."
"Well, what do we do now?"
As we were trying to decide on what to do, a really loud scream came from behind us, making us jump forward. When we landed, we tripped and rolled into that itching powder.
The momentum we still had made us keep going, and we rolled on the part of the ground with that net, making it swallow us!
And it just kept getting worse. Despite being in that net, we had just enough momentum from our rolling to bump into the castle doors, making that glitter fall down on us!
As we lay there in that net and glitter, scratching all over, we looked to where we heard that scream, and Starlight was there, laughing at us again!
"Three pranks this time, huh? I'm impressed! If I didn't look out one of the castle windows and saw all this, you might have actually gotten me! Emphasis on might have."
"Oh, come on!" Rainbow yelled out, and facehoofed.
"Wow, you are super-duper good at this, Starlight!"
"But how did you get out of the castle, Starie?!"
Starlight "answered" my question by pointing at her horn with a hoof. Of course she used her magic to either fly out of a window or to teleport herself out of the castle! Her horn glowed, and the next thing we knew, all that stuff on us vanished, and we stopped itching. At least she got that stuff off us without us asking her.
Starie then walked up to me and -- you guessed it -- petted me on the head. Then, with as smug a smile as ever, and with her head up and eyes closed, Glim-Smug walked off.
This must be how Twilight felt in the season five finale when she couldn't stop Starlight from stopping the Sonic Rainboom, and eventually had to just talk her out of it.
It did not feel good. And I don't think that we can just "talk" Starie into a prank.
Two hours later, we got to work on another idea. Starlight told me an hour ago that she ordered herself some special kites two days ago, and she had to go somewhere. She asked me if I could keep an eye out for them to come, and they just got delivered to the castle. Rainbow, Pinkie, and I are gonna take the kites out of the package they're in, pack it with confetti, re-seal it, and later give it to Starie. It'll be so packed, it'll fly all over that mare when she opens it!
Because Starie herself asked me to get her package, I thought that maybe she's starting to slip, and this prank would catch her off-guard. Why would she ask me this, knowing we're in a prank war?
After getting the package -- a square brown box that's just big enough to hold a normal-sized kite -- from a certain cute cross-eyed grey mailmare, I took it to my two partners in crime to open it, who were already waiting in my room.
Holding a bucket with that confetti for the prank, Pinkie asked, "Is that it, Eric?"
"Yep. Are you two ready to open this thing?"
Rainbow replied, "You don't need to ask me, Eric. Let's do it!"
With Rainbow and Pinkie beside me looking at it, I carefully opened that box.
But when I did, a lot of pepper flew out of it and right in our faces, making all three of us a sneezing mess!
"What...achoo! Just happened...achoo!"
"I...achoo! Don't know, Pinkie...achoo! Do you know, Eric? Achoo!"
"No, I don't...achoo! But some paper...achoo! Fell out of that box...achoo!"
Sneezing a few more times, I picked up that paper, and it was a note.
Dear Eric Reed, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash,
I knew you three would want to open up this box to get me with some kind of prank, so I mailed this to "myself". But it's really for you guys. I hope you enjoyed what I put in it, and I hope it is nothing to "sneeze" about!
Your friend/sister, Starlight Glimmer
P.S. I told you three that you would never prank me!
P.S.S. Eric, don't worry, I know I owe you some petting on your head.
After we read that, the three of us sneezed one more time, and we yelled at the same time, at the top of our lungs, "OH, COME ON!!"
I do not know why we didn't even think that it might be a prank from Starlight!
We are still refusing to give up on getting that smug pony. But the three of us have had enough for now, so we're gonna give it a rest, and try (again) in day six of our prank war.
DAY SIX OF THE PRANK WEEK/WAR
By Trixie's wagon, The Prankster Trio's at it again. We already sent Starlight a letter that was from "Trixie" saying to stop by her wagon for something important. Trixie herself was away from the wagon, so there would be no risk of her getting caught in our prank. But we didn't have much time, because we knew that Trixie would be back really soon. It seems like she's really attached to that little wagon, since that pony hates being too far away from it for too long.
Anyway, the prank this time is a special blue ball that looks like a rare type of rock. Starie can sometimes be something of a "goody-goody" so she'll want to pick it up and take it to Maud. But, we rigged it to explode in a ton of pepper, making her a sneezing mess, as well as giving her a scare. Yep, we're taking a page from her last prank on us.
"Okay, Starie should be here soon. Is that 'rock' ready, Pinkie?"
"Yep! It's all set."
Rainbow asked, "And you're sure that Starlight wasn't able to do something like she did with that net, right, Pinkie?"
"Oh, yeah, I'm sure. I didn't let this out of my sight, so I know she didn't do anything to it."
"Good, because she's turned our pranks against us long enough! It's finally our turn to get her!"
"I agree, Rainbow. All right, Pinkie, drop that 'rock', and let's hide in that bush and wait for her!"
We dived into a bush that was beside Trixie's wagon, right after Pinkie put that "rock" on the ground, about three feet away from our bush. But as soon as we jumped in, confetti blew from it, and it had a lot of force! It even knocked Rainbow, Pinkie, and me back about two feet, right on our backsides.
I shook my head, trying to get my bearings. "What...just happened?"
I got my answer, and I should've already known what happened -- or should I say who happened -- when the future Princess of Smugness, as well as "The Great and Powerful Trixie", came out of Trixie's wagon, giggling.
"Sorry, Rainbow, but I think it's still my turn."
"And that was a great show you three just put on for us. Four stars! But don't you know that I don't send Starlight letters when I want something?"
"BUCK!"
"Eric! I thought you would know something like that from our 'cartoon'! Why didn't you warn us?!"
"I'm sorry, Rainbow! That cartoon didn't show Trixie too much, so I never had the chance to learn that about her!"
"Aww, don't worry, Eric. You can't know everything about 'The Great and Powerful Trixie' and --" Trixie's smile turned upside down and her eyes got big "-- wait, what do you mean it didn't show me too much? Why wouldn't that cartoon show more of 'The Great and Powerful Trixie'?"
"How would I know, 'Ms. powerful'? I wasn't in charge of how many times that cartoon showed you or why, and I just watched it. Maybe I can call out to Josh Haber the next time Twilight and Starlight use the spell to let me talk to someone from my old world, and you can come along to ask him that question."
Rainbow cut in to ask, "Never mind that, how did you do this, Starlight?"
"Long story short: I knew something was up when I got that letter, so I looked for and found Trixie without coming here. Then, before you three got here, I teleported us here to set up what sent you out of that bush."
Rainbow, Pinkie, and I just groaned loudly and stood up. I'm not even sure if Starlight's even trying, because she's making it look too easy!
Trixie smirked and "advised" us, "You know, you three really should stop hiding in bushes."
This is just great. Now Trixie Lulamoon's roasting our prank skills!
With a S-M-U-G smile and with her eyes closed, Starie walked over to me to pet me on the head once again. She turned from me and pretended to take a step, before spinning right back around to pet me some more.
I gave a low growl. I thought Starie must be giving me the pets on the head that she still "owed" me. Yep, she's a big sister all right!
After she really got done petting me, Starie left for real with Trixie, with them both still giggling.
Can things get any worse for The Prankster Trio?
Oh, yes. Yes, it can.
Once Startrix left, that bully Ms. Rosy showed up out of nowhere again! She picked up that "rock" we had for Starie, and it blew up in pepper! It barely made her sneeze, but it got that bully mad! She glared at Rainbow, Pinkie, and me with gritted teeth, and growled in anger.
I facepalmed hard, groaned, and yelled, "Buck! Not again!"
Pinkie pleaded, "Uh, Ms. Rosy, it's not what it looks like. We didn't put that down for you, we promise!"
"That so? But I should still thank you three for this "surprise."
Yep, you know what that big bully's about to do to the three of us. She picked us up with those huge strong forelegs of hers, threw us into that bush we tried to hide in, and once again confetti blew up from it, sending us flying back out of it, with me landing on Rainbow! We hit the ground with more impact this time, and I'm not as durable as ponies, so I might've gotten hurt if I didn't land on Rainbow here.
Ms. Rosy huffed, and walked off.
"Eric, is she going to have that light problem soon? Or can I go kick her flank now?
"It'll be soon, Rainbow. But I just want to get Starie in a prank right now, and then pet her head for once! So let's try to get her again, okay?
In Pinkie's Party Cave, we're again brainstorming. But we're running out of ideas!
"All right. What do we do now? It's like Starie knows what we're going to do before we do!"
"I think I got an idea." Pinkie pulled out what looked like a kitchen sink out of her mane and held it in front of her to us.
"Where and why do you have that, Pinkie?"
"Well, Rainbow, we have thrown everything else at her!" Pinkie tossed that sink in a corner of the Party Cave. "It really seems like Starlight just can't be pranked!"
"Can't you do anything else that doesn't require us to throw the kitchen sink yet, Pinkie? I mean, you're Pinkie Pie! Can't you use your 'Pinkie Pie' powers or something to help get Starie pranked?"
"Uh...I don't get what you mean, Eric."
I thought about that question I just asked Pinkie and facepalmed at asking it. "Never mind. I think I got another idea anyway. And it's not a kitchen sink."
"Well, what is it this time?"
"If we can't prank Starie while she's awake, Rainbow, let's set up a prank in her room, while she's asleep, so she'll fall into it as soon as she wakes up. No matter how powerful she is with her magic, even Starie can't do anything about pranks while she's still sleeping."
"Hmm...that could work, Eric, but how do we do it? Pinkie and I can't sneak in her room at night, and she might wake up before we can see it happen!"
"Yeah, and we want to see her fall to our prank too, Eric!"
"Don't worry about that. Maybe you two weren't paying attention, but before we came back to the Party Cave, I overheard her talking with Twilight, and she said she was getting tired and sleepy, probably from laughing at us so much. She should be wanting to take a nap soon, and they didn't see us when I heard them talking. That'll be our chance to sneak in her room and set up a prank."
"That's sounds good to me. If you and Pinkie are ready, let's do it!"
About one hour later, right outside Starlight's bedroom door, we're preparing to sneak in her room. We're gonna try to paint her horn red for this prank, to make her think she's sick. It's a very fitting prank, because we were sick of her owning us all week! She's a really deep sleeper, so it's unlikely that even painting her horn would wake her up, if we do it carefully. Starie doesn't lock her bedroom door much, so we didn't have to worry about that. We also knew she was in her room sleeping because of loud snoring that was coming from inside. Believe it or not, that pony's a really loud snorer!
"Okay, you guys ready?"
"Ready-dokey-mokey!"
"I'm ready, let's go in, and remember, be careful! We don't want to wake Starie up."
With me holding the bucket of red paint, we slowly and quietly opened the door, and carefully crept to Starlight's bed, and she was covering herself completely in her purple blanket, which had a bunch of kites designs on it. Ha, what a surprise. She really likes kites, you know, and she even got like ten of them all over her room.
But when we pulled the blanket off her head to expose her horn, we saw that the "Starlight" that was in the bed is actually just a big doll that's as big as a full-grown Unicorn. Then we heard a blaring sound come from it, scaring us big time! We screamed, jumped and tripped backward into a pile of glitter that suddenly appeared behind us. What a surprise. Not. Worse, I lost my grip on that bucket when I was falling back, so that red paint poured out on the three of us!
Then we heard some very familiar giggling come from behind us. The three of us looked to where it was coming from and saw -- who else -- Equestria's most smug pony, giggling, right outside her still-open bedroom door.
"If you ask me, I don't think red is any of your color guys. You looked better in purplish pink."
Rainbow, Pinkie, and I groaned loudly, and facepalmed/facehoofed. Man, how is Starlight this good?!
Still with a hand on my face, I asked, "Okay, Starie. How did you do it this time?"
"It's what I would've thought about doing at this point, so I put that doll there, used a spell to make snoring sounds come from it, and I bet it was your idea, Buggie. You're just like your sister, little bro."
BUCK!! It was usually not that bad a thing, especially since it's partly why the bond between Starlight and me became so strong: it's one of the reasons why I think of her as a "big sister", even though I'm not a pony. But this time, being something like a "Mini-Starlight" at times came back to bite me in the butt!
"You know, maybe you three should just give up, because you are not pranking me."
Rainbow shook her head. "Never! We still have one more day to get you, Starlight, and we're gonna do it!"
"Well, suit yourself." Starlight used her magic to get rid of the glitter and paint, pulled me over to her, did you-know-what to me again. After she got done picking on her little brother some more petting me, Starie walked out of her room, head held up, and her eyes closed again, for that smug look to be at its limit.
Maybe we really should just give up. During this prank war, all of our ideas to prank Starie had been like Celestia's Royal guards up to this point (Useless!) and The Prankster Trio's been nothing but the Queen of Smugness -- and for a brief time Trixie's -- entertainment! But I noticed something in the corner of my eye, at one of her bedroom windows. I formed a big fat grin on my face, and I got yet another idea.
"Hey, Rainbow, Pinkie, let's go back to the Party Cave. I have another idea."
"Wait, another one? Are you really sure this one can work?"
"Because none of them have worked, Eric. Er, no offense."
"None taken, Pinkie. But yeah, Rainbow, this one is gonna work for sure, and I'll explain as we go back to the Party Cave."
We headed back to the Party Cave, talking about part of my idea, and then once we were there, I told them the rest of it. It would take some time to set up, so we're gonna do it on the final day of the prank war.
FINAL DAY OF THE PRANK WEEK/WAR
At Sugarcube corner, one hour ago, we set up yet another prank for Starie. And this one's different compared to the others.
We prepared a twist on that "exploding cake" prank we tried before, and had some "exploding cupcakes" instead to use. I heard Twilight say to Starlight she wanted some cupcakes around to eat for the next time she and I read together, which we do sometimes for some one-on-one big sister/little brother bonding. Starlight said she'd get them for Twi. We rigged the cupcakes to "explode" when she picks up the plate they're on.
"Okay, are you really sure this plan of yours will work, Eric?"
"As long as we do everything right, Pinkie, it'll work for sure!"
Rainbow warned, "Guys, Starlight's coming!"
We ducked behind the counter of Sugarcube corner, and listened for Starlight to come in. But, for some reason, we didn't hear any hoofsteps. We peeked from behind the counter, but Starie was nowhere to be seen, and yet those cupcakes were gone too.
"Okay...where did she go?"
"I don't know, Pinkie. Maybe she teleported them to her?"
"Maybe, Rainbow. But let's take a look outside, and hope Starie don't embarrass us, again."
When we took a step outside, all of a sudden, those cupcakes fell and "exploded" on us, covering us in icing goodness! They were held in the air by Unicorn magic. You know who the Unicorn that magic belonged to is.
Yep, it's Smugness Incarnate that was standing on our rights, about ten feet away, laughing yet again!
"Wow, guys, you're really messing up now. Didn't you know those cupcakes wouldn't explode when they're picked up with magic, and that I usually pick things up with my magic?"
Rainbow, Pinkie, and I groaned, and I finally asked, "Okay, Starie, how are you doing this? I mean seriously, how are you able to read through all of our pranks?!"
"Are you reading our minds or something? If you can, what am I thinking right now?"
Ha, leave it to Pinkie Pie to ask that.
"Hmm...okay. I guess I'll tell you guys a secret. Okay, you can show yourself now! I think these three are finally done."
From some bushes by Sugarcube Corner, Twilight Sparkle popped her head out, giggling. Yeah, that got our attention, and our mouths dropped!
Rainbow rubbed her eyes, like she still couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Wait, Twilight? You're the reason why none of our pranks worked?!"
With a smug smile that could rival the one from the Bottomless pit of Smugness, Twilight replied, "Yep! Surprised?"
"Yeah, very surprised!" Pinkie rubbed her eyes too, and even pulled out some black glasses from her mane, to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
"'Surprised' would be putting it mildly for me. I wasn't even this surprised when I did my first Sonic Rainboom!"
"But I thought you didn't like pranks that much, Twi. So why are you in our prank war? And why didn't you just join us like Starie did?"
"I was thinking about how you said that your big sisters in your old world liked doing them with you. So as your Equestrian big sisters, I thought that, at least once, Starlight and I should be a part of one with you three. And I 'joined' it like this, so I could see the look on your face right now!"
Translation: Last week, without me knowing it, Twilight entered a type of "Big sister" mode that she doesn't enter very often -- the mode where she's much more playful than normal and would mess with me -- and this was a great way for Twi to do it, all week! She also knew Pinkie and Rainbow wouldn't really get mad over this.
I really don't think Twi had that side to her before I got to Equestria, and maybe she gained it subconsciously to try to fill the roles of my human big sisters, who did it to me, since I can't go back to my old human world. Or I just rubbed off on her.
"And that was the real reason I came to Sugarcube corner last week. Twilight and I was already planning on joining you three."
"Okay fair enough. But how does that have to do with you always seeing through our pranks, Starlight? You weren't around...wait." Rainbow pointed a hoof at Twilight. "Were you somewhere spying on us, Twilight?!"
"Oh, I wouldn't say I was 'spying' on you. More like, 'keeping an eye on you'."
Yep. That was why none of our pranks worked. Twilight was often somewhere nearby "keeping an eye" on us as we were setting up our pranks, warned Starlight what they were, and where we were. Even us overhearing them talk sometimes, such as when Starlight "told" Twilight she was sleepy or thirsty, was all an act: those two big sneaks knew we would want to act on that! Though a few things, like the confetti in the bushes by Trixie's wagon, Twilight had nothing to do with: that was all Starlight.
I gave a light facepalm, laughed, and said, "Well, I gotta say, you got me, Twi! I never expected this!"
Pinkie started hopping. "Yep, you two got us good! But how about we eat some cupcakes now? Ones that won't blow up?"
We all agreed, and the five of us walked towards the door of Sugarcube corner to eat some "real" cupcakes, with Twilight and Starlight leading the way.
However, once they got in, Rainbow, Pinkie, and I stopped right outside the doors, and Rainbow whispered, "Okay, Pinkie, now."
Pinkie pulled out a switch from her mane, pushed it, and confetti came from all over the room, covering a very surprised Twilight and Starlight.
Then some light-blue paint came from a bucket on the ceiling we secretly set up, and on them.
Some itching powder and pepper also came from a hidden bucket on the ceiling, covering them all over, making those two mares an itchy, sneezing mess!
And we're still not done guys. As they rolled on the floor scratching themselves and sneezing, to finish things off, they rolled on a net that we had hidden on the floor, and got caught in it!
Rainbow, Pinkie, and I cheered our heads off, high-fived each other (or whatever it's called for hooves) and just whooped it up! Oh, and everything we said, once we were setting up that "exploding cupcakes" prank, to this point, was an act. We were doing it to set those two ponies up!
Finally, after getting owned all week, The Prankster Trio finally caught Starlight Glimmer in a prank! And as a bonus, we caught ourselves a Twilight Sparkle, who was helping that sneaky pony embarrass us!
With Rainbow, Pinkie, and I still laughing, Rainbow, holding a bucket of green-colored anti-itch cream, flew into Sugarcube corner to the badly scratching Twilight and Starlight and poured it on the two prank sisters. They were itching and scratching so bad, it'd been hard for them to focus enough to stop the itching with their magic, so The Prankster Trio decided to help them to stop itching. We're not Unicorns or Alicorns, so anti-itch cream was the best we could do for them. Though they had to stop sneezing on their own.
Starlight, shaking her head after getting that cream poured on her, while sneezing, stuttered, "W-w...achoo! What? What?! What...achoo! Just happened?! Achoo!"
"How did...achoo! You three set all this up? I...achoo! I only heard you talk about that cupcake prank! Achoo!"
With a big 'ol grin, Rainbow answered, "Sorry, Twilight, but you and Starlight just fell into our real prank for today."
"I bet you were still trying to pick out some books I'd probably want to read, Twi, when we were setting up what just happened to you and Starie. And we didn't let you hear our real plan!"
After that failed prank to paint Starie's horn, outside the window, I saw part of Twilight's horn, and she didn't know that I saw her. That was all I needed to figure out she was a big reason why The Prankster Trio kept getting GlimGlamed. So late yesterday, to keep the Princess of Spying from "keeping an eye" on Rainbow, Pinkie, and me, I asked her to pick out some books I might want to read later. It always takes Twi forever to finish doing that, and she's probably still not finished!
We also made sure Twi was nearby when we talked about that "exploding cupcake" prank yesterday, pretended we didn't know she was there, but only talked about our real prank in Pinkie's Party Cave, where she couldn't hear us. By the time that surprisingly sneaky Alicorn got to that bush outside Sugarcube Corner today, everything was set, so even she had no way to know what we did.
After they finally stopped sneezing, Twilight and Starlight used their magic to free themselves from the net they were still stuck in, as well as removing that other stuff that's still on them, like confetti. But before they stood up, I tapped into my inner Pinkie Pie, skipped over to my big sisters with a big fat grin, looking at them, or more accurately, their heads. I was thinking that I was going to enjoy what I was about to do to them: pet both their heads, starting with Starlight!
After I got done, they stood up.
"But you two had us going until yesterday. I saw the top of your horn outside of Starie's window, Twi, and that let me figure out that you were the reason why our pranks kept ending in bust after bust!"
Twilight tried to roll her eyes up to look at her horn, and touched it with a hoof. "What?! My horn?"
Giggling, Rainbow said, "You should've flown at least a few inches lower, or left Starlight's window sooner, so Eric wouldn't have caught the top part of your horn."
"Yeah! And when we went back to my Party Cave, he told us the plan on how to prank you and Starlight up gooood!
"I couldn't see much of your horn. But it was enough for me to tell it was your horn."
But then I thought about something else. "But hold on. If you and Starie were working together to ruin our pranks before we even set them up, or while we were still setting them up, why didn't you do anything about Ms. Rosy?" I focused my attention on Starlight. "And for that matter, where were you when we set up that 'exploding cake' a few days ago, Starie? You never came to it."
Both Starlight and Twilight, with confused frowns, rubbed their heads, and Starlight asked me, "Wait, what 'exploding cake', Buggie?"
"And who is this 'Ms. Rosy'? I've never heard anything about her."
"Oh. I guess you two didn't know about that cake a few days ago. But as for Ms. Rosy, she's this huge green Earth Pony that sometimes came after Starie left us, 'fell' into our failed pranks, and then got mad and threw us!"
Twilight's and Starlight's eyes got big on hearing we got thrown. And especially about me being thrown.
"Wait, I know Ms. Rosy is a mean pony, but did you three say she threw you?"
Pinkie answered, "Yeah, Starlight! That big meanie threw us three times this week! And we still have bumps from one of them!"
"What?!" Twilight and Starlight yelled, near the top of their lungs, and with their mouths and eyes wide open.
Rainbow, Pinkie, and I tilted our heads down, to show a bump we got from one of her throws.
Uh-oh. My big sisters can be protective of me sometimes, but Starlight's especially prone to being overprotective. And they don't take kindly to anypony messing with their friends, either.
Twi kept herself in check, and seemed more or less calm, though obviously not happy, since she had an angry frown on her face.
But Starie on the other hand...oh boy...after hearing that big bully hurt us, and especially me, didn't stay calm. She entered her "Overprotective big sister" mode: a version of her "big sister" mode when she'd seriously kick some flanks and take names! That pony didn't exactly like that Pinkie and Rainbow was hurt too, making her even madder. No one messes with and hurts Starlight Glimmer's friends and little brother! She gritted her teeth, her horned glowed, and she teleported herself somewhere.
Rainbow turned her head around, trying to see where Starlight went. "Uh...where Starlight go?"
Chucking, I started counting, "One...two...three...four...five..."
"What are you doing, Eric?"
"I'm just counting till Ms. Rosy comes running in here and beg us to call off Starie, Pinkie. I guess she already knows where that bully is right now."
I got back to counting, and almost two minutes after Starie left, Ms. Rosy came running through that door to me. She was out of breath, like she was running for her life or something, and she was a mess. Heh, I wonder why?
"Okay, I admit it. I was way, way, way out of line when I threw you three. So I'm here to say I'm sorry! Look, here's a hundred bits, and if you can forgive me, it's all yours! Just call off that Unicorn that's saying she's your big sister, and" -- Ms. Rosy pointed at Rainbow and Pinkie -- "that they are her friends!" Ms. Rosy ran over to Rainbow and Pinkie. "And I'm sorry to you two as well, and here are a hundred bits for each of you!"
This was just too good, and I wanted to milk this. So while holding a bag with my new hundred bits, I teased, "Hmm...I don't know, Ms. Rosy. When my big sister gets like that, It's really hard for her to calm down, so she might not listen to anyone, not even us."
Pinkie and Rainbow had some fun too, as they nodded their heads, pretending to "agree" with me.
"Okay, here's another hundred bits for the each of you three, and there's more where that came from. Just, please, call off your sister!"
"Well...okay. We'll try to calm her down. But you better not pick on any other ponies, or she might be back."
"I won't! I promise! I'll be a good mare from now on!"
Now less six hundred bits, Ms. Rosy ran out the door of Sugarcube corner, turning her head back a forth a few times, trying to see if a certain angry, overprotective, purplish pink Unicorn was nearby, than ran out of sight. Rainbow, Pinkie, Twilight, and I burst out laughing.
Pinkie suggested, "Hey, how about we say our prank week is over, and go and really eat some cupcakes now?"
Twilight answered, "Sure, Pinkie, but let's wait for Starlight before we eat."
And Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow, and I waited for Starlight. Twilight might not had seemed it, but she was really mad at Ms. Rosy. Why you think Twi didn't tell us to give that now ex-bully her bits back, or wanted to stop Starlight? That, as well as burst out laughing at Ms. Rosy like she did, isn't something the "Princess of Friendship" would otherwise do.
About a half-minute later, Starlight, still a little upset, came back. I told her what Ms. Rosy said, and asked her to lay off Ms. Rosy, unless that pony tries something like that again, and she agreed to leave her alone.
Starie also told us what she did to Ms. Rosy before she came running into Sugarcube Corner to beg apologize, and...oh boy...it wasn't just good: it was delicious!
In fact, it was too delicious, so I don't know if I should tell you guys what my big sister did! I'll think about it.
But if you were able to guess that, when I said that Ms. Rosy would have a light problem, I was talking about big sis Starlight, you get bonus points!
