====================================================================================================
Austin spawns tied to a chair and gagged, sitting in front of a table covered with a blood-stained tablecloth and a large cake which he can only assume is made of pony parts. He looks to his left. Sitting there is a bag of flour and a bucket of turnips...or radishes. He could never tell the difference. He looked to his right. On another stool was a pile of lint, and another held a stack of rocks wearing a party hat. Finally, he looked across from him.
Sitting there across the long table was a white mare, with a sunshine-yellow mane and tail which hung straight and limp. Her glassy eyes the colour of purple like the summer sunsets, and her wings neatly folded at her sides. She smiled at him with sharp teeth and a twitch.
"Thank you all for coming! It means so much to me that you all could make it..." She said. She then started to puppet the inanimate objects and make them 'talk'.
"It's no trouble Surprise! I'm glad we could come!" said the pile of rocks.
"Yes, this looks like a swell time!" the lint said.
"Can I have another glass of punch?" the flour bag asked politely.
"Sure thing, Madame LeFlour!" She placed a glass of punch in front of it. Austin just rolled his eyes.
"Who's the new guy?" The rocks asked in a gruff sounding voice.
"Oh him! That's Austin...He's a new friend who's going to be partying with us! I hope you don't mind!" Surprise grinned. Austin mumbled something through his gag.
"What'd he say?" the rocks asked.
"Oh! He just said that he would be loyal to me and not run away like everyone else did when Pinkie Pie came along and ignoring ME and not coming to my parties anymore! I mean, after all, I WAS the number one party mare until SHE HAD TO BUTT IN AND RUIN MY LIFE!!!" Surprise panted heavily and Austin gave her a look of confusion.
"Yourrr erkayr Surprerse?" He managed to mumble somewhat coherently.
"Yes yes I'm fine! You won't leave me! As long as you're here it's nothing but smiles!" She grinned at him, bearing her sharp teeth again.
Austin wasn't necessarily worried about himself more than he was Surprise. She looked ready to snap....again. Austin looked around. The place he was in looked similar to Sugarcube Corner, but wasn't...He could tell to the amount of clouds that made up the place.
"Do you want some punch? It's made fresh!" She slid him a glass of red punch. He just stared at it, then looked at her and shook his head. The blood-red colour didn't look very appetizing...
"Oh...okay then...um...How about some cake?"
He shook his head again.
Surprise looked crestfallen.
"okay...um...Well, lemme introduce you to everyone! This is Rocky, Madame LeFlour, Sir Lints-alot and Mr. Turnip!" Austin looked around, silent.
"Oh silly me! Here, let me get that..." She walked over and undid the gag.
"Something tells me you got these...ummm 'guests'...from Sugarcube Corner..."
Surprise twitched. "WHAT?! No! Of course not! I just um...I...uh..."
"You what?" Austin smirked.
"Okay so I did, but they left Pinkie! So they would've loved it here because they hate her just as much as I do!" She grinned at him.
Austin sighed and rolled his eyes again.
"Listen...Surprise, I know you hate the fact that Pinkie is more popular-"
"More dispicable."
"-then you and you feel that she took-
"Stole."
"-all your party guests...But you can't-"
"Can."
"WOULD YOU STOP DOING THAT?!" Austin sighed. "Look, I'd love to party with you, but the NORMAL way...All you gotta do is untie me."
"But you look so comfy that way! Besides, you haven't finished your cake!"
"I can't do that with no hands..."
"I can feed you!"
"No thanks."
Surprise just sighed and walked over, then undid his hands.
"Just don't be running away the moment I do this."
"I promise I won't."
"Do you Surprise Swear?"
"What's that?"
"I swear on my life I'll never stray from the promise I've made today."
"um...okay, sure."
"No! You have to say the line!"
"Ugh....I swear on my life I'll never stray from the promise I've made today."
"Good."
Austin stood up and rubbed his wrists.
"Thanks...but you know I had my fingers crossed, right?"
Surprise's eyes shrunk and she blinked.
"Sorry, but I don't make oaths to murderers." Austin ran toward the door and kicked it open, then turned around.
"And for the record, Pinkie Pie is not that bad! You should actually talk to her sometime!" Austin waved and leapt from the doorway and plummeted down to the ground.
Surprise stood there and twitched, then heard something. A knock on her back door.
"Hey Surprise, sorry I couldn't stop and chat. I had something to do and it needed to be done fast. You know how it goes..." Firefly said as she walked in.
Surprise growled under her breath.
"I know how it goes alright..."
