//------------------------------// // Chapter 10: A New Home and A New Life // Story: Captain Underpants and The Deadly Shadows of Sombra // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// Outside the Crystal Empire we see all the ponies in their fancy clothing enjoying a party. Even the boys were wearing some fancy clothes themselves. And Harold wore a tie! Captain Underpants was getting some autographs from some ponies who appreciated being saved by him and his sidekicks. Even Princess Celestia arrived at the occasion. After a few minutes Cadence and her husband came to the stand to prepare the speech. "Ponies of the Empire. We thank you for joining us here on this occasion. Today we are here to congratulate three new heroes that saved the Empire." Cadence started. "Since a few years ago we still remember the day that Spike saved the Empire and we still know him as a hero. Then when Sombra returned a beacon of light shined and three new heroes came to save the day. So every pony please welcome our saviors who will receive not one but two surprises. Give it up for George Beard, Harold Hutchins, and their comic creation Captain Underpants." Shining finished. Everyone applauded as the boys came to the stand and started to say a few words. "Thank you Shining. Hi. I'm George Beard, and this is my best friend Harold Hutchins." George started. "Hey there." "See like Shining said we did take down Sombra. But before all that we were just two 1st graders at school with the worst principal in the world. And back home we only had our defense of pranks and practical jokes against him." George said. "But then all that changed when we got transported here. At first we had no idea where we were but thanks to our new friends The Mane Seven and Spike they helped us get used to Equestria." Harold continued as they smiled. "And it turns out we made more friends than one here. Everyone is so nice like we belong here. And when Sombra returned there was no way we were gonna let him cover the Empire in shadow." George stated. "But we couldn't done it without help from our friends. So we just like to say thank you guys. Thank you so much for all you done." Harold concluded. Everyone applauded as Celestia and Luna came to the stand. "Thanks for the speech boys. And we have something special for you. For your bravery of standing side by side with Twilight and her friends you will have these for the Crystal Empire to remember you by." Celestia said. Cadence and Shining took down a huge cover relieving three crystal statues of them and Captain Underpants next to Spike's. The crowd cheered as the boys stared in awe. The statues had them in their superhero costumes and in poses. The boys turned to face the princesses. "Thank you Celestia. That means a lot." George smiled. "Your welcome boys." Celestia said to them. "And there's something else. Since you boys were showing friendship to Twilight and everyone else we decided that you'll have new lives here in Equestria. And the girls made you a new place to stay. As for Captain Underpants he will be with us training for any upcoming battles." Luna added. "Really? That's cool and I wonder what the new place is?" Harold asked. "Put these blindfolds on and we'll show you guys." Pinkie answered. They did what Pinkie told them to do and placed the blindfolds on their eyes and followed them the direction the girls were guiding them. Captain Underpants waved goodbye to the boys as Celestia and Luna took him to their castle. With the girls they finally arrived at the location and Starlight got ready to surprise them. "Ok guys take them off." Starlight encouraged. George and Harold took off their blindfolds and to their surprise they saw a huge tree house in a crystal tree! The tree house was much bigger and more detailed than their old one. It was spray painted with pictures of Captain Underpants and also had the Treehouse Comics Inc logo on the attic window. It even had a slide to go down! They were sure surprised seeing this. "Wow! Is that a treehouse?! It looks so cool!" Harold asked. "You bet it is boys. We took the time to build this especially for you. And wait til you see the inside." Twilight said. The boys were giddy as George pulled a rope to bring down the ladder and climbed it. Once inside it was everything they can imagine. There was a couch to relax on and a TV to watch, A cabinet filled with treats for the boys to snack on, A soda pusher to get any soda they want, A work desk to makes as many comics they want, A closet with their pajamas and clothes and finally a bedroom with two beds: one with their superhero symbol so they know who's bed is which. "Oh my word! This is so much nicer in here! So you girls made this for us?" Harold asked. "You bet boys. Since you saved the Crystal Empire from Sombra's clutches we figure that you should stay with us in Equestria. And what better way than to make you a treehouse." Rainbow smiled. "Thanks girls. I'm sure were gonna enjoy our new life in Equestria." George smiled. "I bet you will. Well enjoy your tree house boys. If you need us use that red button and we'll be there." Twilight said pointing to the red button and she and her friends left to give the boys some time to explore the new treehouse. "I gotta say those girls really are friendly. Well I don't know about you but I'm tuckered out from today. Let's get some rest for tomorrow." George said. "Right you are George." Harold said as the two changed into their cozy pajamas. George had purple ones while Harold had the green ones. The both crawled into their beds and fell asleep into dreamland. The next day we see the sun rising and the boys got up and started to sing. Cause today was Saturday!! The two danced around and sang along to the song. Once the song was over they posed and the sun shined bright on them. "So George? What should we do on this bright sunny day?" Harold asked. "Well I was thinking maybe we go visit Twilight and the girls." George answered. "That is a great idea! Come on!" Harold said as the two got dressed and headed out to visit Twilight and her friends. The two spent their Saturday doing everything with Twilight and the girls. First thing they did this morning is have breakfast with them and while Twilight was reading a book George and Harold created another comic called 'Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman.' Next they hung out with Rainbow Dash in doing some awesome stuff in becoming a Wonderbolt. Then they were with Rarity trying on some jazzy outfits for any special occasions that might happen in the future. Then they were with Fluttershy taking care of the cute bunnies that need food and water. And finally they were at Starlight's place meeting her friend Sunburst and getting to know him better. Needless to say it was a great Saturday. The two headed back to their new treehouse and changed into their cozy pajamas pajamas again, grabbed a cookie and A glass of grape soda and looked at the night sky. "Ahh. Now this a peaceful night. And Harold? I'm so glad were staying in Equestria." George commented. "Me too. Everyone is so nice here and we have more friends than ever. Not to mention that I love having Rainbow Dash as our best friend." Harold replied. "Yep. Well this was a great Saturday. Let's get some sleep for the next day and in the future we'll be living the dream." George smiled. "Okay George. Night bud." Harold said. "Night man." The two crawled into their beds and soon enough they fell fast asleep smiling and dreaming about what their new lives in Equestria will be. And that brings our story to it's happy conclusion. Hope you enjoyed the crossover of the amazing Captain Underpants.
