Chapter 08: A Princess, A Filly, & A Skeleton Pranking Ponyville
It was a normal day for Twilight Sparkle, ever since the Changeling’s practically surrendered and peace correlated between the two races of Equines, she felt a little tired, but grateful that Sans and Chrysalis fought each other.
Not that she was happy that Sans almost killed her, using BONES of all things…
She sat upright and rubbed her eyes to get the sleep dust out of them and looked at Spike’s smaller bed, smiling warmly as she saw her son in the bed, snoring away quietly as he dreamed.
Ever since she hatched Spike’s egg in the entrance exam for Celestia’s School For Gifted Unicorns, they saw each other like a brother and sister when they were younger.
But now that she was older…
She saw him like the son she might not ever have, even though she will die in a couple hundred years of old age, while he lives on longer…
She was THAT powerful, no wonder Sans didn’t wanna FIGHT her when she asked.
Either that or he doesn’t want to hurt her, which was sweet; unnecessary, but sweet…
Anyways, Twilight got off her bed and onto her feet, stretching her arms and scratching under her armpit to alleviate an itch with a hand.
She yawned sleepily, tired, but slowly waking up with a cup of coffee calling her name.
She walked down the stairs, not noticing that she was taller than last night, and bumped her head against the doorway, impacting her horn in the process.
She quietly went “Gah!” as to not wake up Spike from his sleep, but was confused.
Why am I taller? She thought as she tried figuring it out, before reaching a hand up to her horn.
Wait…
...Hand…
Twilight froze as she caught sight of the lavender appendage with the same description from Lyra’s lectures all those years ago in Canterlot.
Why do I-- She thought to herself, brain slowly acknowledging the fact that she had hands.
If I have hands… She slowly looked down at herself and screamed, waking up Spike, and probably the entire town in the process…
------------
Rainbow Dash was doing her routine as weatherpony manager…
By clearing the skies of clouds in ten seconds flat!
After she got the park cleared of clouds, she thought she would have a break.
Luckily there was a cloud with her name on it nearby…
She flew straight to the cloud, floating in the sky so innocently…
But suddenly, it disappeared into nothing, not a trace of vapor left behind, making Rainbow stop.
She stared in horror that her most perfect napping spot besides one of AJ’s apple trees was gone…
Gone Forever…
“WHHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!??????”
The loud voice emanated throughout Ponyville, causing a few early risers to stop and wonder what got Rainbow Dash that aggravated…
---------------------------------------
A few hours later, the whole town was experiencing weird things happening to them; like Rarity’s Boutique turned into a real carousel, with spinning horses and carnival music, Applejack’s apples getting turned orange…
Fluttershy was left alone though, which made some ponies suspicious of who the culprit might be.
Well, until even Pinkie was pranked as well, inflating into a balloon, floating through the air with Rainbow Dash pushing her through the air as to not float away…
The only one not there was Sans, because he was at Nightstone Castle, getting a room renovated for him along with Princess Luna’s help…
At least, that’s what everypony believed…
-------------------------------------------
*In Nightstone Castle*
The sound of laughter echoed throughout the halls and rooms of the old castle, the dust from the neglect on the stone and drapes gone in an instant.
The source of the laughter was Princess Luna, Sand, and Nyx gathering around a large screen that was recording the events of the town’s antics.
" HOH! We are enjoying this partaking of the festivities! We shall call this day… APRIL FOOL’S!!!”
Sans shook his head, still chuckling.
" It’s still in the middle of March, Luna.”
" Dost that even matter?” Luna shot back.
Nyx on the other hand, giggled herself silly at the banter between the two, and the events of what happened to Ponyville...
