//------------------------------// // Pony and Pet Party! // Story: The Adventures of Tank and Angel // by FlutterDash979797 //------------------------------// "Tank and Angel! It's almost time for our party! You boys should get off the TV when our guests come over. You can play when everypony is here," Fluttershy made her way into the living room. "I'm just sure the other pets will love to play with you!" "Yeah... We usually have pony pet play date, but we haven't a party with our pets before! It'll be a blast! Tank, you hear me, man?" Dash knocked his shell. "I haven't really talked to any of the other pets before... Angel, are they as annoying as you? Or as crazy? If so, I'll get them a medal," Tank placed the controller on the ground and followed Dash. "Turn off the ponystation Angel, will you?" "Wait, I'm just trying to figure this out. If we stop playing now, we can get bathroom breaks and eat two times our body weight. Then, after that, we can pretend to be happy as our moms greet everypony, then we can play again. I'm guessing our moms might want alone time... So we could have 12 consectutive hours of play time," Angel lept towards Tank. "You got that?' "What's your point man?" Tank opened the fridge and cracked open an energy drink. "That's not enough! Are you stupid?" Angel flailed his arms about. "I'm pretty sure... That's not like good for you or something, man." "You need to work on your vocabulary." "Since when do you care?" "Since you stopped realizing the importance of nonstop bro-time!" "Cool down... We'll have a good time tonight. I'm not wasting any time!" Angel quickly powered down all electronics and hoped towards the kitchen table. "Everything! I gotta eat everything!" Tank rested on a kitchen chair, contently sipping his caffeinated beverage. "You do what you want man. I'm not the boss of you, though it looks like your's is coming this way," Tank noticed Fluttershy trotted down the stairs. "Oh my goodness, Angel Bunny, please stop eating so much! We won't have any for the guests!" Her trots became sprints. "Try and stop me!" Angel dug into a plate of cookies. "Please stop mister! You know what happens when momma can't ask you nicely." The bunny was too focused on prolonging his gaming time to notice. "Okay sweetie, I warned you," The Stare of a thousand suns soon followed. "Gah! Okay, I won't do it anymore! Please stop! Agh! It burns!" Angel tried to shield himself from the effects of The Stare to no avail. "Now, mommy made these for you to eat. But take your time, okay? We have a long night and I don't want you to have a tummy ache." "Just never use that again! I'll behave! Please, I'll donate to charity, I'll volunteer, just never use that stare!" Angel lept on Fluttershy and engulfed her in a fearful hug. "Oh Angel, don't worry. I won't do that again! Just plop a seat next to your brother. Dash will be down soon. The guests will be here..." "Hi everypony! I'm totally here, it's okay! And I got my party cannon!" Several projectiles of various multicolored items exploded across Fluttershy's house as Pinkie arrived. "And Gummy is here too! Say hi to Tank and Angel buddy!" "Good evening Pinkie! I'm very happy that you're here! Take a few snacks from the kitchen whenever you please. Dash will be down shortly," Fluttershy gave her a quick hug. "Or keep shooting that cannon. Whatever makes you happy." "Why not both!" Pinkie's dive into the snack table was very similar to a long-eared critter. "Alright, you do whatever makes you happy. Hello Gummy! How are you?" Fluttershy scratched his head with her hoof. He replied with a delicate bite. "Go over and meet your new friends!" "Hey man, name's Tank. Hows it going? I was looking forward to meeting yah'," Tank extended a fist outward. "So a tortoise huh?" Gummy softly bit his offering and climbed aboard a couch. "Did the shell give it away?" Tank laughed, attempting to ignore the rising awkward levels. "Gummy, you into video games?" Angel crashed on the same couch as the alligator. "Never played any..." Gummy said. "What?" Tank and Angel both stood in shock. "Howdy y'all! Come on, Wionna!" Applejack stormed into the party; her trusty herding partner not far behind. "Yes... Come on Opal. Wipe your claws off before you get in the house." Rarity led her cat inside. Twilight was the last to enter, carrying Owlowiscious on her back. Spike fumbled closely behind, eyeing both Rarity and the various snacks. "Hey everypony! What's up?!" Dash made her way to each pony; offering bro-hooves and hugs. "Now let's get this party started! Pinkie, turn up the music!" "Okie-dokie-lokie!" Pinkie Pie shot several beats from her party cannon; all of her friends had stopped attempting to understand the logic behind the cannon. "Alright everypony, let's rock!" Dash grabbed Fluttershy and began to dance with a hint of dork. "Alright, so what game should we try? It's gummy's first time, after all," Tank opened the entertainment system. "What about Call of Friendship?" Angel suggested. "Come on man, you know I don't like that game. How about Little Big Equestria?" "Fine. I'll put it in. Give Gummy a controller. Grab us some snacks while you're at it too," Tank inserted the disc in the console. "Okay... Mr. Bossy. Am I right Gummy?" "Nah, he's not bossy. He's cool. So, how do I play?" Gummy fiddled with the controller's buttons. "I think we have a lot in common, Gummy. Alright, I'll load up the game and tell you after. It's really simple," Tank selected the game and waited for Angel and Gummy's readiness. "I call player one!" Angel switched his controller number. "Cause' after all, I am number one!" "Have it. Not a problem," Tank selected his character. "Okay, Gummy, you need to pick a sackpony." "A what?" Gummy replied. "Sackpony. Here, I'll show you," Tank selected his character; a green sackpony with a large tan helmet. "It's just the guy you play as. You can customize and stuff." "And obliviously, I have the coolest one," Angel's sackpony was bright white with a large top hat and classy clothes. "Okay... How about this... and this! Yeah, that's pretty cool," Gummy equipped his sackpony with a baseball cap, sunglasses, and boots. "Okay... Looks like you got the sackpony part down! Now, we just need to pick a level," Angel moved his sackpony to the massive controller in the game and selected a beginning level. "It's pretty simple. We need to work together to solve a few puzzles and get to the end." The level began with the three sackponies colliding with the ground. Angel proceeded to immediately lead the group, leaving the reptilian pair behind the camera. "Come on! What's wrong, can't keep with me? It's okay, I get that a lot!" Angel boasted. "Just move the sticks Gummy! It isn't that hard!" "Gah!" Angel found his sackpony incinerated by a river of lava. "Nice going champ! Gummy, man, you getting the hang of this?" "I think so. Hey, I got an idea. Let's race, Angel," Gummy smirked. He positioned his sackpony next to Angel's. "Now this I gotta see," Tank carefully kept his pacing behind the competitors. "Just accept defeat right now. It will make your life a lot easier, trust me," Angel led Gummy to a racetrack. "Ready to lose?" "Whenever you are," Gummy took a energy-drink gulp. "Hit the button!" Within seconds, Angel's sackpony was trampled by both Tank and Gummy as they dashed forward. "Let me on the skateboard! As the camera left Angel, a controller impacted the wall. "Cheaters! Screw this, I'm going to get something to eat! Then I get to play Call of Friendship later!" "Fine. We can all play that too I guess. Now go man," Tank flagged him away. "You're actually really fun to be around! We should hang out more!" "Totally!" Gummy attempted to bro-hoof Tank, who quickly returned it. "It's nice actually having somepony to play with who doesn't throw the controller." All six ponies had found joy in various ways during the party. Fluttershy and Rainbow practiced their dancing as couple; several hours of practice had made it somewhat tolerable. For several songs, the remaining four ponies would cheer the couple on as they attempted to dance. They were the highlight of the party for all intents and purposes. Rainbow used her precise movements to maneuver Fluttershy around the dance floor; who couldn't hold in her giggles. Normally Fluttershy would shrink in anxiety in such new situations; however her friends gave her enough confidence to enjoy being silly. "Ready Shy'?" Rainbow whispered. "Uhh... Go for it?" Fluttershy wasn't sure to make of the situation. ` "Here goes nothing!" Rainbow attempted to lift Fluttershy off the ground and levitate her using wingpower. The act lasted a few seconds before Rainbow slipped and the pair crashed on the floor. Laughter from all six ponies soon followed. "Yer' quite the dancers gals!" Applejack giggled. "I haven't seen such incredible dancing since Twilight danced in Canterlot!" Rarity joined in Applejack's laughter. "Hey, we'll get better at it! Plus, I think we were awesome! I mean, come on! We had the spirit!" Rainbow lifted herself and Fluttershy off the ground. "Well, I'm not going to argue with that. Now, I'll show you some real dancing!" Twilight joined the pair in their adorkable moves. The ponies danced until their hooves hurt. All of the snacks were nearly gone; anything that remained would be picked up by Angel. Wiona kept close to Applejack, while Angel, Gummy, and Tank engaged themselves into the TV while Opal watched with a condescending grin. They were done playing video games; rather, they watched episodes of My Little Human; Companionship is Supernatural. "Aren't you gentleman a little old for such a childish program?" Opal displayed her claws. "Nopony asked you!" Angel threw several popcorn kernels at her. "Calm down man... I think what my friend is trying to say here is that we love the show for it's realistic characters, relatable lessons, and excellent animation," Tank turned the volume up. "Besides, what does it matter to you, man?" "Oh nothing... I just figured you would have better things to do than to watch TV all day. I must have been mistaken," Tank, Gummy, and Angel were all very annoyed with the cat's remarks. "Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man," Tank tried to ignore her. "There! You did it again! You can't quote other characters like that! I'm pretty sure it's illegal!" Angel pointed his finger at Tank. "I still don't know what you're talking about. Anyways, let us bums be. We're all the happier for it," Tank pressed back against his recliner. The stars were fully illuminated as the party finally ended. Pinkie sucked in all of the trash using the vacuum feature of her party cannon while the rest of the ponies cleaned up in various ways. They all said their goodbyes along with a usual friendly hug. "So, that was a really nice party, huh?" Fluttershy closed the door, leaving only the new family inside. "Yeah. That's an understatement! I had a blast!" Rainbow kissed her several times in a playful manner. "Why don't you get ready for bed. I'll get the boys ready." "Sounds great Dashie," Fluttershy trotted up the stairs. "Hey boys, ready to hit the hay?" Dash approached the pair shaking their heads rapidly. "Lemme guess, you want to play ponystation all night, am I right?" Tank and Angel quickly changed their shakes to nods. "Well, okay. Don't stay up too late," Dash gave the pair several blankets and pillows. "Love yah' guys." "Are the boys coming?" Fluttershy said as Rainbow made her way up the stairs. "Nah, they want to play games. I say let them. It's their party too." "Well, I guess you're right." "Wanna celebrate our new house in that special way that only we can do?" Dash suggestively smiled. "Do I ever!" Fluttershy's lips met Rainbow's. "Okay. We're game for... 7 hours! Let's get to it!" Angel grabbed a controller. "Let's play co-op, man," Tank searched through their games. "So you can't lose?" "No, so you don't dent the wall or break the expensive controller!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy! I hope you liked it! I have a really, really funny idea coming up soon, which is a good thing, cause' this chapter isn't really funny at all. Gummy doesn't have much character in this chapter, but I will expand upon it later. Basically he's the "Lancer" to Tank's "Hero" and Angel's "Jerk with a heart of gold,". I know I didn't portray Opal in a good light, probably cause' I hate cats (Dogs FTW! I can befriend any dog on the planet!) Expect plenty of lulz. Hope you enjoyed, ~Dino
