//------------------------------// // A Day with a Pony // Story: Pets N' Ponies // by ShopperBrony90 //------------------------------// Twilight sighed as she sat down by the riverbank, poking at the pond. Russell noticed the princess doing so. Russell sat down as he tried to comfort her. "Hey, Twi. What's up?" Twilight let out a big sigh. "Nothing much." Russell smirked. "Oh really?" Russell thought I wonder what would cheer royalty up. Finally, he got it. "Maybe you could tell me a story, like how you saved Ekrestika-" "Equestria." Twilight corrected. "And I haves saved Equestria a ton of times." Russell asked, "Well maybe you could tell me the first time you saved Equeestia-" "Equestria!" Twilight corrected, again, this time in a more annoyed voice. "Oh, and sure." Twilight said. "So, I was normally reading in Canterlot, when I wasn't a princess..." Twilight told the story of how she and the rest reformed Nightmare Moon. "AAHHHHHAHAHAHAHA!" "EEEEKK!" "YYAAAAAHAHOWEE!" Vinnie, Penny Ling, and Sunil were up in the air, screaming in delight. Well, twoof them were. "FLUTTERSHY!" yelped Sunil. "SLOWW DOOOWWNN!" Sunil shivered in fear while Vinnie and Penny Ling were having fun...ish. "YAH GETTING SCARED PENNY LING?" Vinnie hollered. "YOU KNOOOWW I WOULDNT!" Penny Ling hollered back. "WELL, I DEFINITELY AM!" Sunil yelled. "FLUTTERSHY!" Rainbow and Flutteshy moved closer. "You think there having fun?" asked Rainbow, looking at the competitive pets. "Two of them are anyway." Fluttershy answered, looking at the terrified mongoose. "That's enough, I guess." "Ooh, this would look simply MARVELOUS on you,darling!" Rarity put a turquoise, sparkling dress on Zoe. It had a golden ribbon on the ends and a matching bow on front. "Oh, you look SIMPLY Devine!" Sweetie Belle had designed a dress for Zoe as well. "Oh! Oh my, darling. You dress is so, so, uhh...I-It's umm... simp-ply, ooh, uhh..." Sweetie's dress was colorful, but little bit too colorful. It had red and red violet stripes, for the top it had green polka dots, blue sleeves, and a yellow, ruffled ribbon at the ends. Rarity thought it was a fashion disaster, so did Zoe. But the dog knew what to do. "It's, I-It's-" Zoe cut Rarity off. "Simply Devine! I would like to wear it and never take it off!" Zoe turned to Rarity and winked. She turned to Sweetie Belle and said, "Oh no, but it has a tear!" Sweetie looked shocked. "What? Where?" There was never really a tear though. "Sweetie, I am a diva! I do not wear tears." "Oh, okay." said Sweetie Belle, sadly. "Oh my! I didn't mean to hurt her!" Zoe apologized. "Hey!" exclaimed Sweetie. "Maybe I could make you an even BETTER one! No tears this time!" "Well, at least you got away with that one." Rarity chuckled. "Yup!" Zoe agreed. "It's called acting!" "Uhh, Pinkie?" Minka asked "Whatcha doing?" "I'm setting up a party for my best friend, Miss Harshwhinny!" Pinkie leaped around the cake as Minka asked "Who's Miss Harshwhinny?" Pinkie filled her party canon. "I alreadytold you! My friend!" "She can be harsh at times, so this party needs to be more awesomely awesome!" Pinkie blew up her balloons. "Well, maybe she isn't as harsh as you think." Pinkie rolled her eyes. "I told you she's my best friend! I know her! Well, I know everyone in Ponyville-" Minka gasped "Everyone?" Pinkie frosted the cupcakes. "Well, yah, except you guys. I mean, you just moved in and- wait a sec! If you just moved in that means I haven't thrown you guys a party yet!" Minka assured her. "You don't need to throw us a party!" "But I DO!" Said Pinkie. "Look at my cutie mark!" Minka put her perplexed face on "What's a-" Pinkie gave an answer before she could even ask. "A cutie mark isn't something that a pony is born with. You have to earn it. A cutie mark is a mark that appears. on your flank when you discover your special talent. Sometimes it's even linked to a pony's destiny!" Pinkie's explanation made Minka understand more. "Oh, so your cutie mark is balloons, meaning your destiny and special talent is to throw a party?" Pinkie yelled "Yes! Meaning if I don't throw a party for you guys, I won't succeed in my destiny!" Minka understood. "That's terrible! Maybe if I'll help. you can throw a party in time!" "Sure!" Agreed Pinkie. "WOOOOOWEEEE!" Applejack hollered. The country pony bucked all the apple trees in sight. Pepper looked at her as she bucked and bucked. Buck! Buck! Buck! Went the apple trees. Pepper wanted to try. "Applejack! Applejack! APPLEJACK!" Said Pepper, leaping through the hills. "Can I try?" Applejack looked down at the little skunk. "Whoa there, yah filly!" Giggled Applejack. " 'Course yah can!" Pepper tried to run as fast as Applejack, but she was pretty slow. She ran to the nearest tree and bucked it. Well, she tried to anyway. Pepper accidently crossed her legs. And she was too far away, so she missed. Pepper fell on her tummy, as she looked at Apple Bloom. She ran faster than Pepper, and even if she got less than 4 apples down from the tree, at least she actually did it. "Oh, come on!" Pepper sighed. Applejack chuckled as she helped Pepper up. "Looks like yah need more practice!"
