//------------------------------// // Chapter 8: Bunnisi Beauties // Story: MLP G5 Sunset: Tell Your Tale: Season 2 // by JesusG0987 //------------------------------// Chapter 8: Bunnisi Beauties In Mane Melody, the Bunnisi are all over Mane Melody while two of them are playing with some speakers. (Do the Bunny Hop Song) Come on, Bunnies,  Time to get Fluffy Pipp then let out a groan as she held her head. “Oh! This… Is… Awful! Why did I agree to do this!” She questioned herself as she turned and saw many Bunnisi flying around Mane Melody, wearing messy make-up and the whole salon was a mess. Here we go The Bunnisi then started running around Mane Melody as a couple of them opened up Pipp’s accessory make-up compartment as one of them hopped on them. Bunny, bunny Do the bunny-unny-unny Bunny, bunny Do the bunny-unny-unny “Uh, nononono! Careful! You don’t want to fall!” Pipp exclaimed to them, but a couple of them entered the compartment as it closed, and they then rattled around inside before they hopped out and had some makeup and accessories. Kick up your paws and slide to the right Shake your tail, now, side to side “I mean, it is kinda fabulous,” Pipp commented with a smile as she walked up to them, finding their looks great on them. “Hey!” Jazz exclaimed, which startled Pipp as she rushed up. “You’re supposed to point it at your fur!” She screamed as she ran away when a Bunnisus flew after her with a mane dryer pointing at Jazz. “Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!” Rocky exclaimed as a couple of bunnisi started spinning him around on a chair. “Not… So… Fast!” He screamed as he kept spinning around. Outside of Mane Melody, Hitch, Sparky, who is holding some popcorn, and Sunset are walking by as Sunset explains what happened at Opaline’s old castle. “Wow, sounds like you, Sunny, and Zipp sure had an investigation,” Hitch commented. “Trust me, Hitch. If it weren’t for Zipp to suggest searching for clues in Opaline’s old lair, we wouldn’t have found the tapestry of Skyro and the other Alicorns and the Chest of Harmony.” Sunset said with a smile before she gave it in a sheepish expression. “But maybe we should’ve accounted for Critters having a party there that brought down the house, literally.” “Well, I’m glad that you and Sunny protected them and Zipp before it collapsed. And I’m glad that Sunny’s happy that she’s not the only Alicorn, other than you and Opaline that is, that exists in Equestria.” Hitch said with a smile. “When Sunny told me about her dream, I got worried, but I’m glad that she finally found a clue of the other Alicorns.” “Same here. And I’m glad to find the Chest of Harmony.” Sunset said as she gave a thoughtful look. “I don’t know how Opaline managed to get it, but since Twilight’s old Castle of Friendship once came from that chest, I had a feeling Opaline somehow reverted to its pre-state before Twilight and her friends opened it.” “Can Opaline even do that?” Hitch asked as Sparky babbled in wonder as he ate some popcorn. “This is Opaline we’re talking about, Hitch. She has done much extreme magic we’ve seen her do.” Sunset reminded him with a brow. “Oh, right. I forgot about that.” Hitch said with a sheepish look. “But, I am determined to open that chest again and bring back that castle,” Sunset said with determination. “It was once a symbol of friendship for Twilight and her friends, so it makes sense to restore it to bring that symbol back and as a gift for Twilight too.” “Speaking of which, how’s it going with you, ‘little project’?” Hitch asked with a wink. “Still slow going, but getting there,” Sunset answered with a smile. “I may still have the amulet, but Twilight deserves better than being a spirit in neckwear and for what Opaline did to her and her legacy.” “Well, I’m sure she would be happy once you finish,” Hitch said with a smile before the door to Mane Melody opened up, which smacked him in the face and sent the popcorn flying. “Or smack you in the face,” Sunset commented as a couple of Bunnisi hopped out of the shop. “Come on, now! I’m doing my best!” Pipp yelled to them from the door as the two bunnisi hopped away as Pipp gasped before the door closed as Hitch got his head turned from the smack as Pipp lowered her head in sadness. “Hey, Hitch. Hey, Sunset. Hi, Sparky.” She said in sadness. “Hi, Pipp.” Sparky babbled in a baby tone. “What’s that all about, Pipp?” Hitch asked. “Yeah, why the sudden Bunnisi make-up?” Sunset asked as a bunnisus rushed out of the salon with a bowl full of glitter, which he tossed as it landed on Pipp’s head, causing some glitter to spill on her. “Ugh.” Pipp groaned. “Come and see for yourselves.” She sadly said as the bowl slipped off her head. Pipp showed her two friends and baby dragon in the salon as they saw the bunnisi running around and making a mess while Jazz and Rocky were still having trouble while Hitch and Sunset looked with wide eyes. “Okay, not what we expected,” Sunset commented. “We’re trying to get all these bunnies ready, but there’s just so many of them. We can’t keep up!” Pipp explained while rubbing her head. “Yeah,” Hitch said with a small smile. “Bunnies never miss a chance to get dressed up.” He said as he dodged a chocolate egg. “Egg-specially…” He started with an amusing smile as he leaned towards Sunset and Pipp. “See what I did there?” He asked while the two mares gave bored looks from that joke. “For their Easter Eggstravaganza!” He finished. Pipp and Sunset looked at each other unamusingly before Pipp gave a weak laugh. “Yeah, funny,” Pipp said. “Yeah. Clever.” Sunset muttered with a roll of her eye. “Um, well, no matter how hard I try,  I just can’t get anything right for them.” Pipp said with a frown as Hitch gave a smirk and walked forward. “Lucky for you, Pipp Petals, you got yourself an expert in critter talkery.” Hitch said as he and Sparky turned to Pipp and Sunset while wearing sunglasses as Hitch lowered his. “Watch and learn.” “Whoo-hoo!” Sparky cheered. Sunset gave an amusing chuckle. “Sparky’s been around Hitch for too long.” She joked as Pipp giggled as well. “Like father like son.” Pipp commented as the two mares kept giggling. A little bit later, Hitch gathered the bunnisi together as Sparky wrote down their suggestions on Hitch’s book. “Okay. So there was too much glitter for you. And then not enough glitter for you. And you? Uh-huh. Feeling cramp?” He asked as Pipp, Rocky, Sunset, and Jazz watched Hitch talk to the bunnisi. “Um, we do crimp, not cramps.” Pipp pointed out in confusion as Jazz and Rocky saw a bunnisus with a purple fake mane hopping by. “Yeah, Hitch. This is a salon. Not a spa.” Sunset pointed out. “I don’t think Pipp is equipped with cramps.” She stated. “Don’t worry, girls. I think I know how to sort this out.” Hitch said with a determined smile as he lowered his glasses. A little bit later, the five ponies are in the forest after setting up an outdoor makeshift salon as the Bunnisi are having a great time while the three stylish ponies are styling a bunnisus as it gives a pose. “Oh, every artist needs space to create and they need space to play!” Pipp said in realization. “Uh, such a great idea, Hitch.” She complimented. Across the area, Hitch is being tickled by the Bunnisi with Sparky on his head as he laughs. “I think you can thank him later. He’s being tickled and attacked by those critters.” Sunset said with an amusing look. “He sure does have a special connection to the critters, huh?” Jazz asked with a smile as she and Rocky came next to Pipp and Sunset. “It’s really cute!” Rocky exclaimed with a smile. “Well, Hitch did obtain the ability to talk to animals when Earth Pony magic was first created during Maretime Bay Day.” Sunset noted with a smile. “And he has always been a critter magnet before that, which makes sense that he’s Fluttershy’s descendent since she could do the same.” “Which is still cute!” Jazz called as they watched Hitch still get huddled by the bunnisi as one of them nuzzled his cheeks as he kept laughing. “Aww!” Both Jazz and Rocky said with sparkles in their eyes as they leaned close to each other, finding the scene with Hitch adorable. “Never a dull moment with Hitch, huh?” Sunset asked Pipp with a smile. “Nope. Sure isn’t.” Pipp answered with a smile as she turned and saw the fluffy bunnisi giving Pipp a look as she opened up her compartment. “Check it out! Latest in charm chic!” She said while picking up a seashell charm before seeing the Bunnisus shake its head. “Ah! Everypony loves a rainbow!” She cheered while picking up a cloud rainbow charm, but the Bunnisus turned away as Pipp was surprised by this. “Not eveypony, Pipp.” Sunset commented. “Maybe try something else.” She suggested. “Wait, I think I have just the thing.” Pipp said as she smiled and took out a golden unicorn charm, which caused the bunnisus to look in awe with sparkles in its eyes. “Well, you got its attention.” Sunset commented before noticing a familiar charm in Pipp’s compartment. “Wait, Pipp, is that the Nova Charm!?” She asked in shock when she saw the blue charm among the other charms. “Huh?” Pipp asked before she saw the Nova Charm with the others. “Oh, yeah. I put the Nova Charm there to keep it say when it was my turn.” She said with a smile. Sunset gave a brow at her. “Um, that’s very clever, Pipp. But aren’t you forgetting something?” She asked her. “Forgetting about what?” Pipp asked in confusion. “It’s necklace?” “Um, that, but also the fact we have a crazy snow leopard on the loose in Equestria!” Sunset exclaimed firmly, which made Pipp flinched a bit. “You’re talking about Allura, right?” Pipp asked with a nervous smile. “Who else!?” Sunset questioned. “Pipp, with Allura on the loose, we can’t let the Nova Charm be stolen from her. But putting it in a charm compartment and out in the open?! What makes you think of that?!” She scolded. “Um, I guess I was too busy with the Bunnisi to notice.” Pipp said sheepishly. “Pipp, if Allura finds out we have the Nova Charm and it’s out in the open, she’s gonna try and steal it!” Sunset scolded seriously. “Hey, it’s okay, Sunset.” Pipp said with an assuring smile. “We haven’t seen Allura since we first discovered she’s in Equestria. She could be anywhere in the forest by now. I’m sure we’re safe.” “Well, that’s true. But for safety, we’re keeping a close eye on that charm.” Sunset said with a serious look. “Sure.” Pipp said with a smile. “But after this whole bunnisi thing, we’re gonna have a long talk on keeping that charm secure and safe!” Sunset quickly added with a firm tone. “Aww.” Pipp said in disappointment, having felt that coming. But what nopony noticed was that hiding in the bushes was a purring sound as a pair of eyes glowed blue and part of the bush froze up. Behind the bushes is Allura, who is spying on the group with Twitch beside her. “There must be some way to get closer to those charms, Twitch.” Allura said while rubbing her chin as Twitch gave a laugh as the two looked at the Bunnisi and Pipp showing the charms while giving a sheepish look at Sunset for bringing the Nova Charm with her as Allura looked at the Bunnisi scratching its ear and turned to Twitch, who is doing the same as she smirked. “Mmm. Maybe if I had a critter on the inside.” She said with a smirk. “Uh-huh!” Twitch called as he rubbed his paws while giving chuckles before he realized what Allur just said as he gestured to himself in shock. “Of course, you!” Allura said in annoance. “It can’t be me now, can it?” She questioned while reminding him she was a snow leopard. “Not to mention that Alicorn Sunset is there keeping guard, which looks more powerful than the last time we saw her.” She added after seeing Sunset. “But you, you could blend in.” She said as Twitch looked at the many Bunnisi flying around. “Uh-huh!” Twitch shouted as he started mumbling and started intimating the Bunnisi cuteness before crossing his arms. “Well, obviously none of them are as clever as you, Twitch.” Allura said to her sidekick  with a small smile, which got Twitch’s attention as he watched her go before she gave a serious look. “And we must use that to help us find the Nova Charm. Without it, we’ll be stuck in Maretime Bay forever!” She yelled. Back a the makeshift outdoor salon, Jazz and Rocky continued dressing them up as Hitch, Sparky, and the Bunnisi huddled together for a selfie as Sunset looked at the charm closely before she looked at the time. “Hey, Hitch. It’s almost time for the bunnies to go.” Sunset informed. “Right, thanks, Sunset.” Hitch said as he put his phone away. “Okay, Pipp, better get these critters on their way to Zephyr Heights.” He said while Pipp was blowdrying a bunnisus. “Almost done, Hitch.” Pipp said as kept brushing the bunnisus as she brought out a bowl of glitter. “Just a little more glam!” She called before the ground shook, causing Pipp to fall and the glitter as well. “Whoa! What’s happening now!?” Sunset exclaimed as they turned and saw a herd of Bunnisi coming towards them. “Ah! Bunnisi stampede!” She exclaimed. “Oh my pony! There’s more?!” Pipp cried in panic as Allura was surprised by this as well, but gave a smirk as she could work with this as she placed Twitch in front of the stampede before he turned and screamed before getting caught in it. “That’s a good bunny.” Allura whispered with a smirk as the Bunnisi formed a mountain pile as Pipp flew around it. “Ah! T-T-T-T-T-There’s too many of them!” Pipp exclaimed in panic as Twitch squeezed through the pile before the bunnisi separated as they ran around. “I’ve heard of bunnisi wanting to be cute, but this is insane.” Sunset commented in surprise. “Leave it to me, girls.” Hitch said with determination. “I’m the pony of the law, coolest dragon dad you know, my Cutie Mark comes to life, and my kindness overflow!” He declared as his Cutie Mark glowed and stomped his hoof down, which created big flowers that sent pollens down as the Bunnisi all calmed down and huddled together. “There you go. That’s better.” He said with a smile. “That’s impressive, Hitch.” Sunset said as she turned and saw Twitch tiptoeing. “Hey, we missed one.” She said. Hitch turned and smiled as he picked up Twitch. “Aw. You cutie little bunny-wunny!” He cooed as he nuzzled Twtich, who tried to get away from him before Hitch gave him a kiss on the cheeks as Twitch spits in disgust. “Better bring him in, Hitch.” Sunset informed with a smile. “Not one bunny out of place.” She said. “That’s true, Sunset.” Hitch said as he carried Twitc to Rocky, who used a razor and cut his fur as it was now neat and tidy as Twitch looked at himself and saw his tail shaped like a heart as he growled and tried to hop away, but Pipp grabbed him and did a little makeup on him and then showed him a mirror to reveal him wearing a purple mane wig as he then screamed and fall to the ground in shock. “Oh, this is a great color for you!” Jazz said with a smile while doing Twitch’s nails. “Really brings out the colors of your eyes.” She said as Twitch looked at his nails and smiled at them, finding them great as he gave kissing. Allura kept watching as she looked at the floating charms as Twtich came up to them. “Yes. Yes.” She said slowly as Twtich was about to reach the NOva Charm, but he didn’t grab it as he went into the compartment to pull out a mirror, and looked at himself with a smile, much to Allura’s annoyance. “He’s losing focus! Twitch. Charm. Look out the charm!” She whispered, but Twitch didn’t hear her while paying attention to the mirror as Allura groaned. A bit later at night, Jazz, Rocky, and Pipp lay on the floor together. “Whoa! My hooves never glam so fast!” Pipp exclaimed. “That’s what hard work is, Pipp.” Sunset said in amusement while looking at the three stylish. “They do look gorgeous though.” Rocky commented as the three stood up with Sunset as Hitch got the bunnies into the Marestream. “There they go!” Jazz said as Hitch took off with the bunnies. “Good luck!” She waved. “Hitch’s gonna take them straight for Zepyhr Heights so that they can be ready for the Eggstravaganza.” Sunset said with a smile. “They should make it in time for tomorrow.” “Well, that’s great to hear, Sunset.” Pipp said with a smile. “Yeah. Now, about keeping the Nova Charm in a safe place…” Sunset started with a look, which made Pipp nervous. “Ahaha, there’s no escaping that one, is it?” Pipp asked nervously as Sunset shook her head. “Drats.” She mumbled. In the Marestream in the sky, some party light shined as Hitch drove the Marestream while Twitch and the Bunnisis partied to the music of the Bunny Hop before Twitch realizes something was off as he looked out the back window and gasped when he saw him flying. “Easter Eggstravaganza, here we come!” Hitch declared as he turned the Marestream in another direction while the Bunnisi and Twtich cheered, while Twitch not realizing that Allura will have an earful with him when he get back.
