Peaceful Intermission
Chapter 31: Super Troublemakers
The group of friends made their way toward the town of Ponyville, looking to save anypony from trouble that might be about! Unbeknownst to themselves, they're going to be the once to cause the trouble.
Nearby ponies looked cautiously at the CMC and human twins, remembering the previous times they were together. They all shivered at the thought of what they were doing now, especially since they didn't know what the capes were for.
Scootaloo looked toward the sky longingly, it had been a while since she was in the air, flying along the clouds with Rainbow Dash, her idol flying by them. It was when his friends and herself created that plane machine, she wish she could do that again...Wait...Couldn't Ken fly? Yeah he could, he's got that magic stuff, and he won't let her fall at all, he's so in control when he flies, so strong and good loo-wait what! How could she think of that!?
Shaking her head to get a certain thought out of her mind, she then came up with an excuse to make Ken carry her into the very skies she loved so much.
"Hey guys, I think we need some view from the skies to find some trouble! Ken, you can fly, carry me up into the air so I can get a better look around!" Scootaloo said, inwardly proud of her excuse.
"Good idea Scoots! Ken will ya do it?" Applebloom exclaimed.
"Yeah, sure!" Ken happily obliged. He carried Scootaloo onto his back piggy back style before slowly levitating into the air and above the town.
Back on the ground, Kira put her hands to the side of her mouth in a attempt to make her voice louder as she called up to them.
"What do you see up there!?" She called, her tail wigging along side the wind's breeze.
Back in the air, Ken heard his sister's call and said to his friend. "Scootaloo, do you see anything?"
Scootaloo glanced around till she spotted a good average sized fluffy cloud, oh it had been so long since she was on one! She said out loud to Ken, "Hey super boy! Put me down on that cloud over there so I can look around better." She said.
"Um, ok!" Ken flew over to the cloud and allowed Scoots to glide down onto the cloud, She seemed to snuggle within the cloud's fluffiness, with human curiosity getting the better of him once again. Ken found a nearby cloud and levitated over to it, then attempted to land on it.
Keyword, attempted. Instead of landing on the fluffy yet solid looking cloud, Ken fell right through. Catching himself, Ken believed he must've down something wrong and tried again, only to meet the same result.
Scootaloo laughed as she watched her friend try to stay on a cloud. "You can't stand or sit on a cloud! Only Pegasus can!"
'What about nimbus clouds? Hehe, owned.' Ken's father commented within Ken's mind.
"Why?" Ken asked curiously, ignoring his father's comment.
That stopped her laughing, how would she respond to that? She didn't know it and didn't want to feel stupid in front of Ken! Quickly thinking, she glanced around and saw that cat that Rarity owned on a roof of a building, good thing she could glide pretty well for her disability.
Scootaloo started her wings like an engine starts it's gears, her tiny wings fluttering a a high pace motion. She jumped off the cloud and her small wings gave her great control of her gliding, allowing her to glide toward the cat easily and grab it.
"Don't worry kitty! Super Dash is here to save you!" She yelled, successfully avoiding Ken's question.
But as she had grabbed the cat it flailed about with it's claws, setting loose a chain of events. A loose tile brick fell off, which then landed on the side of a merchant cart. Scootaloo's eyes widened as she realized they were in Ponyville's Marketplace. The cart started rolling along against it's merchants will, it smashed into another cart when then sent is rolling and crashing into three others, all kind of products and produce started flying everywhere as the carts in the area rolled along the Marketplace.
"Ma apples!" an Apple shopkeeper said as her cart was smashed and her apples were spilled across the floor.
The apple shopkeeper tried to get her apples only to have them smashed like bananas against a falling anvil when a wild cart rolled over them. The said pony, Applejack eyes widened, and they searched around for the culprit to cause all this, her eyes landed on the now landing Ken who landed next to Scootaloo.
The said two own eyes widened even further when they realized they had caused all of this and invoked the wrath of one hard working pony.
*GULP*
Lyra was having a good day, the weather was nice, her job was easy and paid well, at least, well enough to feed and care for two human twins, who eat a lot by the way! But she didn't care, as long as they're happy, she's happy. Of course, caring for children also has it's downsides, as they can tend to get in trouble, especially if they're with the Cutie Mark Crusaders!
She recently joined a community group within Ponyville called 'The Mother's Chit Chat Club' it sounded a bit cheesy to her, but all the group comprised of was mothers of both, or either, adopted or birthed, children or child. They would talk about problems, events, children, and give some advice. Good news was that the group wasn't racist, they accepted her gladly within the group and asked all sorts of things about her human twins, she knew they were only half human, but she didn't care much for that. The only thing she disliked about humans were the ones hurting Ken back then.
Pushing those thoughts aside. Lyra decided to take a shortcut home by going through the marketplace, however when she arrived at said place only to find it in total chaos, well not Discord chaos, but chaos non-the-less. Carts were rolling everywhere, products smashed and flying about, and one angry looking Applejack.
Wait a second...Is that...Oh no.
'Why them, why is it always them.' Lyra thought to herself. On a roof of a building missing a tile is both Scootaloo and her human son, Ken.
Who seem to be starting to run now, and she figured out why as Applejack suddenly became an major athlete and gave chase in her anger. Lyra sighed, she won't be able to get them out of trouble this time. Looking around for the other twin, since she knew they never went anywhere without the other, she spotted Kira and the rest of the CMC who seem to be dodging flying products.
Well, at least it can't get any wor- *SHOOSH*
Lyra ducked as a cart zoomed right right overhead. She looked at the cart that was heading toward Kira, Sweetie Bell, and Applebloom, and she realized it was carrying frying pans.
"Oh Celestia..." Lyra said, knowing what would happen a few minutes later.
Kira dodged another apple, why is it all this stuff always happens to them! She jumped comically, her tail swishing right past another merchant piece. She looked toward her friends and saw them ducking and dancing to avoid everything.
Kira then saw her worst nightmare come true. A cart full of doom and despair, the ultimate terror! A frying pan cart! Instantly Kira screamed one word that herself and her friends instantly obeyed and did.
And they ran! The group of three ran for their very lives! Dodging apple, pans, bananas, shampoo, more pans, and all kinds of stuff! If you look at it, it looked like they were free dancing like a triplet of cheesy comic characters, with a monkey in the middle of it!
Then Ken and Scootaloo joined their group in their running screaming.
"Run left! Run left!"
Applebloom noticed why.
"Oh no! Sis is angry! Thata way, thata way!" Applebloom yelled running toward the other direction. Everyone and everypony else following her in a great running parade.
"Ya are in so much trouble!" Applejack yelled at the CMC and Twins. "Now get back here and work for those damages!"
"Ahhhhhhhhh! Run faster! Run fast!" They all screamed.
They ran left, right, left, right, left again! Up, down, west, east, north, south, it didn't matter as long as they escape that chasing pony! They went through ally ways, houses, shops, fields, parks, but no matter what they tried that orange pony just kept catching up to them!
Suddenly a GAINT TREE appeared in their way.
*SMASH, CRASH, SMACK!*
The last one was from falling apples from that tree, and the group of friends realized they just made things worse...much worse.
"Oh no! Tify!" Applejack yelled, then glared madly at them.
'Uhoh.'
Three hours later...
The twin munchkins were dragged home, after three hours of community service. The service was to clean up all the mess of everything that went bad, and their were a lot. Applejack made sure they were always working till their time was done, saying it was "Giving you a taste of how hard we work.".
Now arriving at home, Lyra, their mom. Turned to them and said.
"Go to bed Ken and Kira, I am very ashamed of what you did today." she said to them, in which is was still early night even for kids.
"Without dinner?" Ken said.
Lyra simply grabbed a bag of fruit from the kitchen pool and gave it to them.
"Their, now go to your room. If you want me to cook for you two, then you need to stop causing such bad thing. Now go, get dressed for bed, brush your teeth, eat your fruit, and go to sleep!"
Ken and Kira shamefully carried the bag and themselves to their room, got redressed into pajamas, brushed their teeth, ate, and sadly went to sleep.
Downstairs, Lyra and Bon Bon sat on the opposite end of each other on chairs.
"Don't you think your being a little too harsh, even for you?" Bon Bon said.
"Maybe, but they have to learn. They can't just keep doing everything they want!" Lyra sincerely replied.
"You sure are like a real mother now."
Lyra smiled at her house-mate. "Yeah, well I guess it's a natural thing."
Bon Bon nodded. "Must be."
For the rest of the night, they chatted and then ate, then proceeded to go to sleep in their own rooms.
