//------------------------------// // Chapter Seven: A Not so Pleasant Series of Events // Story: The Adventures of Pinkie and Dashie // by Badguy400 //------------------------------// Sombra and the foals were sleeping nice and peacefully… , despite it being morning already. Overall, things are starting off pretty nicely for once! Least until a bad smell starts to permeate in the air. Smelling something horrid, Sombra woke up, saw that Rainbow’s behind was right on his nose, and then jerked up and away from Rainbow Dash while covering his nose. “Oh that’s horrid!” Sombra thought to himself. “What did I feed these fillies?!” Rainbow Dash however was just babbling to herself, and wiggling in her sleep. Soon after that, Sombra left to go get some supplies to change her; especially a mask so he couldn’t smell the dirty diaper. Eventually, the rest of the ponies woke up and were stretching. “Awake already?” Sombra said as he’s using one of the baby wipes to clean his shadow hands. “That’s a bit surprising… . Considering that you lil ones are basically able to sleep for an extremely long time. Flurry Heart responded by throwing a pillow at him. “Fair point.” Sombra said with a sigh while putting Rainbow Dash down from the changing table. So… what now?” Rainbow Dash asked. “No clue… “ Sombra said while in thought. “I just thought y’all were gonna automatically turn back to normal or something… .” Pinkie shrugged, then said; “meh… . I wike being a baby!” The ponies chuckled, then Rainbow said; “ya you do… ! You awe a baby no matter how gwown up you awe!” Pinkie made a sad face, then replied with a whine to her voice; “you mean… !” Sombra chuckled again, and then said; “hey hey, easy… . Now then… . Anyone know what they wanna do now??? Aside from hurting each other of course… .” Rainbow Dash began to think, before her tummy began growling. Sighing, Sombra said; “how about you kids don’t get picky this time, and maybe I won’t hurt y’all. Emotionally to put it bluntly… . Is that okay?” Not wanting to get yelled at, the foals all nodded and raised their hooves. Snickering and lowering himself down, Sombra began to say; “y’all are so weird… .” Before beginning to laugh. Giggling, the foals just crawled on top of Sombra’s back, and awaited for their trip to begin. So with that, Sombra got up, and began walking to the kitchen with the foals on his back. The foals are all doing their own separate things while Sombra is taking a nap on the Crystal Empire living room couch. The reason why is because he was feeling tired from having to babysit the foals, and thought that he deserved some well earned rest. And not to mention that the foals had made a mess again by throwing mashed food everywhere because it’s fun. And not because they hate the food. “Mmm… . I miss him… .” Rainbow Dash said, frowning. Flurry and Pinkie Pie are looking at her with concern and a raised eyebrow, looked at each other, and then Pinkie asked; “you heaw it twoo? Or am I a baba stiww?” Flurry nodded, then replied with; “auntie wainbow no see baba wit us on da sova??? He wit us now!” Pinkie then gestured for her to quiet down, while Sombra was moving around in the background in his sleep. Pinkie then replied in a hushed whisper; “I know… . But pwease quiet… ! You wake him, and make auntie Wainbow cwy!” Flurry gasped while covering her mouth with her hooves, and then nodded in agreement. Rainbow then looked to Pinkie, and asked; “it okay iv I wake him??? I wan him to pway wit us… !” Pinkie shushed Rainbow before replying in a hushed tone; “he sweeping now… ! He pway wit us soon! Pwomise!” Rainbow whined, but nodded in agreement, since she knew that Sombra might get cranky if he were to be awoken from his slumber. creak “W-wat wa dat???” Rainbow asked, scared. Pinkie and Flurry soon huddled together against Rainbow, before Pinkie responded with a whine at the end, “I-i-I dow know… . B-b-but it scawy… !” Flurry Heart was scared too, hugging her aunt Pinkie so she’ll feel less frightened than she is now. creak “M-me scawed… !” Rainbow Dash with a whine and whimper. Flurry and her aunt Pinkie then decided to hug Rainbow because they’re frightened to the max now. Soon they heard what sounded like a growling sound… . Or maybe a beast snoring; just staying idle and waiting for its prey to make a mistake! The imagination of the three foals knows no bounds! “Why is Baba not awake… ?! I miss him… !” Rainbow Dash said; referencing to King Sombra. “I dow know… but I scawed… !” Pinkie replied with a whine. Just then, all three heard what sounded like a monster that’s about to eat them. With that, they all screamed and began crying. “Easy… “ Sombra said while stretching. “It’s just me… . Relax… . No monster is gonna eat you… . Aside from me, hehe… . Okay I kid, I don’t eat babies for dinner.” All three then stopped crying instantly, but Rainbow Dash replied back with a whine to her voice, “b-b-but the noises… .” Sighing, Sombra replied back; “it’s just the castle… ! Old castles and other old buildings make noises like that because they apparently can’t stay standing any longer… . So if you’re afraid of spooky monsters or whatever, then just think about me, and I’m sure that it’ll resolve everything… .” “But how… ?!” Was Flurry Heart’s response. Sighing heavily this time; running out of patience, Sombra then shouted; “because I’m more frightening than anything else! Now pipe down, or I’ll really turn into a monster… . Got it?!” The foals all nodded, and then started to whimper. Growling now; Sombra said to himself, “can’t this day get any worse… ?!” Just then, out of nowhere, a loud roar emanated from the castle hallways. Realizing what he just said, Sombra then said to himself; “I should really keep my mouth shut… ,” before the foals all began to cry.
