//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: New Ponies on the Block // by Aquarius //------------------------------// =========When we last left the trio Scales was still flying at highspeed's threw the clouds unable to stop himself and Fishcord woke to find himself hurt at a farm and being helped by two friendly ponies while Aquarius was taking almost all around ponyvile with a hyper pink pony and then left at the library were he was able to set up a lie to explain how he and his friends came to ponyville will he be able to keep up with his own lies?================= With the cloud's above nearly covering the sky, many on the pony's in ponyville talk amongst themselves wondering what is going on with the clouds as a light orange earth pony with a long yellow mane and a cowboy hat walk,s threw the street accompanied by a large and slightly wide blue earth pony with a spiky mane colored lime green. ________________________ "So Fishcord ya reckon ya might tell me more bout ya friends?" Applejack Asked Fishcored as they made there way threw ponyvile Applejack herself being oblivious to the ponys that stare at her and Fishcord as they pass. Fishcord on the other hand was well aware of the attention he was getting and tryed to keep his head as low as he could "oh.. well.. um... Scales is um... always Freindly but gets angry easly and is uh.... always on the move oh... and then theres Aquarius whos a bit um... harder to uh... figure out and not in a nice way" Fishcord said quitly watching the ground as he walked so he couldn't make eye contact with anyone "He's shifty, he's sneaky and he cares more about his hat then anypony else and say's and dose whatever he wants just for fun" Fishcord Explained to Applejack. "Well he dont sound like a friendly fella" Applejack said simply. "oh um... no uh... i mean... he means well um... i think uh.... you just um... have to know him as long as i have i um... guess" Fishcord said as they made there way past a group of mares who stared at fishcord's lime green mohawk mane who then muttered amongst themselves making Fishcord turn his head slightly away from them still facing the ground ,oh if only i had Kyle's confidence or perhaps even Devin's boldness, Fishcord thought to himself as he walked alongside Applejack when suddenly a Red Flash of gushing wind past them from behind making Applejack's hat fly off. "what in tarnation!" Applejack yelled out in suprise before a rainbow and gushing wind past them aswell followd by a glowing light blue, pink flash and then and a large light blue glowing brown object fly right over her making Applejacks hair fly forwards as the object lands on the ground and moves at a incredable speed after the other flashes. _________ Earlier that morning_________ "So lets recap shall we?" Aquarius said plainly as he stood in front of the libary with a Red flash of screaming wind repeatedly passing him "First we get lost in the Everfree forest in search of a very old castle because you JUST! had to lose the map WHICH WAS VERY HARD TO GET BY THE WAY! to a imaginary chicken IN A BLOODY FISH SUIT!" Aquarius brought one hoof to his face breathing slowly to calm down a little before continuing "then came my brilliant and reasonable idea to get us out of the forest and you even manage to mess that up i mean look at you, you havent even hit the ground yet" "Ihateyouihateyouihateyouihateyou" the red flash kept saying repeatedly so fast its almost to difficult for Aquarius to understand while the red flash is really Scales who is flying veary close to the ground in circles all around the libary while in the circle scales is making is Aquarius, twilight and a third light Blue pony with rainbow hair. Twilight was with the light Blue pony by her houses front door away from Aquarius who was by the edge of the circle "Rainbow would you mind explaining to me how your involved in this?" Twilight asked the blue pony named Rainbow Dash. "wia.. what! i was just napping when that jerk over there woke me up and started messing up all the clouds in the sky" Rainbow Dash said with a energetic tone of voice "i woulda caught him to if he didn't pull off a bunch of stunts all over the place" "really? so your really just flying randomly everywhere cause your flying so fast that you cant keep your eyes open?" Aquarius said with a resolved tone of voice "As impossable as it is to not sound smarter then you im just gonna flat out try to knowing i.ll fail miserably and ask, why dont you just simply stop?" "Not *whoosh* that *whoosh* simple *whoosh*" Scales yelled out to Aquarius with his eyes closed trying to think of a safe way to stop himself. Before Aquarius could speek agian he spot from the cornor of his eye Twilight and Rainbow Dash making there way tords him. "So what did he say?" Twilight asked Aquarius with a curious look on her face. "oh nothing much, just that he was showing off for your freind there cause he thinks she's pretty" Aquarius waited to see the looks on both Twilights and Rainbows faces before snickering softly and continuing with a questioning look on his face "or maybe it was that he's showing off cause he thinks he is a better flyer then her, hard to tell what he's saying when he's going so fast like that" "WHAT!" Rainbow Dash shouted out "that jerk thinks he's a better flyer then me?" Rainbow pointed towards Scales who looks like a blinking flash going in circles "I.ll show that jerk just who the fastest pony in Ponyvile is!" and with that Ranbow flew stirght into the circle Scales is making and starts to chase him making the circle look more like a rainbow cage. ,just what i needed TWO Kyle's only this one i cant hit, Aquarius thought to himself. "he really dident say anything like that did he?" Twilight asked Aquarius looking at him with her head slightly tilted to the left. "no but im very much sure that this way is much more entertaining in the long run" Aquarius said simply ignoring the disbelieving look Twilight is giving him. "I *whoosh* hate *whoosh* you *whoosh* and your *whoosh* stupid hat *whoosh*" Scales yells out at Aquarius. Aquarius gave out a near emotionless face, his eye twitching slightly as he made his way to the circle that Scales and Rainbow Dash are making that keeps Aquarius and Twilight trapped ,oh its on, Aquarius thought to himself. "um.. Aquarius? what are you gonna do?" Twilight asked Aquuarius with a more curious look on her face then she had before. "This situation requires unorthodox thinking" Aquarius said plainly as he raised his right hoof and looked at the rainbow circle then back at his right hoof "ok lets see at the speed he's flying i.ll need to do this at a twenty degree angle at JUST the right time to acheve the response im looking for" Aquarius mutterd to himself before looking intensely at the rainbow circle his eyes squinting and before twilight could say something Aquarius suddenly punched his right hoof into the rainbow circle and as if in a instant everything seemed to pause to Aquarius, from Rainbow Dash suddenly stopping making the rainbow circle dissaper to Aquarius's hoof making contact with Scale's snout and then as fast as it paused to Aquarius everything was in motion again starting with Scale's flying at highspeeds away from the libary and down ponyvile with Rainbow Dash looking around wondering what happend before taking off after him "gotta love Newton's second law of motion" Aquarius remarked with a small smirk on his face before taking off at a gallop yelling out to himself "and ya gotta love unorthodox thinking!" Twilight just stood there with a shocking disbelieving look on her face as if unable to comprehend just what she saw when suddenly green fire shot out of her window "what the!" she nearly yelled out. "um.. Twilight? your lunch is on fire" Spike called out to twilight from inside the house. __________________ Aquarius was galloping threw ponyvile thinking to himself ,ok now to find a way to catch up with them think Devin think, Aquarius looked around the place's he passes by in hopes of spoting a place that might help till a few minutes of galloping later he ended up in front of Sugarcube Corner "thats it!" Aquarius shouted as he made his way to the building and to the door but stoped there as he just stared at door thinking to himself ,how the flank do i properly open this thing?, he examend the door which was in three layers a square at the bottom and two long lines put togeather like a man sized window, Aquarius was about to open the door when it suddenly blew open with a rainbow coming out of it followed by a smoke of flower leaving Aquarius to cough and wave his hoof around to clear the flower in the air as he then made his way inside saying to himself sarcastically "oh gee i wonder what happend here" he looked around the place whitch was coverd with flower and knocked over furniture till he heard coughing and turned his attention tords it to see pinkie pie who was coughing and shaking flower off her when Aquarius then made his way to her in a near gallop "Hyperactive pink thing! quickly im in need of your assistance" Aquarius nearly shouted "i know EXACTLY what is needed to stop those two but hte one thing i need is a.... cupcake" Pinkie Pie just looked at him for what seemed like a minute when she then gave a wide smile. __________________ Twilight was galloping tords Sugarcube corner ,ok they were last seen here oh please let it all be over, she thought to herself as she noticed the flower all over the front door and then she heard shouting from inside the building. "No stop contain it, CONTAIN it!" Aquarius shouted from inside the building as a bowl then flew out of the building making twilight duck to dodge it "Oh my beard its LOOSE!, quickly Pinkie grab the wooden spoons we gotta beat this thing back in the stove!....... in my beards name its got ma hoof its got ma hoof!" Aquarius kept shouting till suddanly a bright light blue glow shined from inside the building making twilight rush in to see the room covered in smoke made of flower. "*cough* what *cough cough* is going on in here" twilight said with hast as the smoke started to clear revealing Aquarius and pinkie pie by a table. "progress dear twilight, progress"and with that Aquarius lifted his camo cowboy hat slightly as a light blue glow shined out of it while a single plane looking cupcake with sprinkles is lifted up and gently placet on the table with care as if it was a bomb. "its just a cupcake" twilight pointed out. "Not just a cupcake" Aquarius nearly shouted in a dramatic fashion "this cupcake was made with the skills of my brilliant mind and my new friend Pinkie Pie here to create the ULTIMATE defiance to the body's limitations" with that twilight couldent help but join them at the table "with this we will have no trouble catching those two troublesome pegasi, now all we need is someone brave enough or foolish enough t...." and before Aquarius could finish Pinkie Pie launched herself at the cupcake devouring it in one bite leaving Aquarius and Twilight to just look at her as if expecting something to happen when suddanly Pinkie Pie starts vibrating violently nocking over the table as Aquarius and Twilight back away from her. "oh sweet mother of philosophy what have i just released on this world" Aquarius said as he watched with a look of panic as he was looking around "gotta think fast or the plans ruined" he looked frantically around the room till he spoted a round table top that was broken off "perfect" he shouted as he lifted his hat as a signal of using his magic as the table top starts to glow light blue as he then looks at Pinkie Pie who at this point is vibrating so fast Aquarius could barely tell she's moving at all as she also glows light blue when Aquarius then hopes on the table top "ready when you are Pinkie" and with those simple words pinkie pie and and Aquarius vanish so fast that flower once again fills the air. "*cough* common *cough* what next?" Twilight asked herself as she saw that when the smoke cleard the place was even more of a mess then it already was Twilight just stared in disbelief agian as she then heard cough behind her and when she turnd around she saw Mr. and Mrs. Cake looking at her and the mess the place is in, twilight then let out a nervous chukle looking at them "um... hi Mr. and Mrs. Cake" as if saying everything that needs to be said with a look Mr. Cake hands Twilight a broom. _______________________ Aquarius was surfing on the table top that glowed with magic that was connected like a invisible rope to Pinkie pie who was running so fast Aquarius could barely see the ponies they pass "how am i doing this i cant even stand on a skate bored" Aquarius nearly screamed as the table top started to wabble in the air cause Pinkie pie was going to fast to let it hit the ground as Aquarius was about to hit a fruit stand when he suddanly stood on two hooves and leaned his body to the right to make the table top dodge the fruit stand and another pony who was shopping there as Pinkie Pie made a suddan right turn down another street as Aquarius then had to use everything he had to make a sharp turn without hitting anyone till he then saw Rainbow Dash and scales far ahead of them Aquarius tryed to say something as a bug flew into his mouth making him accedently sallowing it and while trying to spit the tast out forgot to look forwad as he saw that he was about to hit a pony who was wearing a hat that flown off, pulling everything he had he stomped on the table top as hard as he could as he then brought all four hooves to the table top as he ended up doing a complete front flip over the pony and had the table top nearly slam agianst the ground but still going as Aquarius tryed to look behind him and sigh with relief. The chase took nearly over ten minute as they were at a park surrounded by tree's when suddenly Pinkie Pie fell down fast asleep as Aquarius surfed the table top over her as he looked back behind him ,oh this is gonna be painfull, he thought as the table decent to the ground till it smashed into a rock sended Aquarius flying into the sky and as Aquarius flew over the two pegasi he thought to himself ,you know if i wasn't wearing this treanch coat and dident already show off my horn... i probably woulda flown to safty by now, He then crashed into the speeding pegasi creating a cloud of smoke that made seeing anything impossable "*ugh* what just happend" Aquarius said as he found himself safely on the ground and as he stood up he felt something on his back and found that Rainbow Dash was outcold on him "Wha... how did this just happen?" Aquarius asked himself "and weres Scales?" he wonderd as he heard moaning coming from a tree large tree and when Aquarius invitagated found a trace of a pony on the tree and Scales on the ground moaning in pain "this is the greatest thing ever.... of all time" Aquarius remarked "I hate you with every fiber of my been at the moment" Scales responed now grunting in pain as he got up with Aquarius's help "lets just find a way outa this crazy place already" Scales muttered. "perhapes later my good friend cause right now we have Fishcord to worry about... now lets go collect my new friend i found" and with that Aquarius trotted off. "wait... what?" Scales said with a curious look on his face. _____________________ "so you was finaly able to stop your friend?" Twilight asked Aquarius inside Sugarcube corner with Scales, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. "eeyup it took some work but with the help of ya friends here i was able to stop Scales Panic attack" Aquarius said with his left front hoof in the air as he then used it to elbow Scales. "oh um.. yeah im sorry" Scales said apologetically with his head low and then looked towards Rainbow Dash "and um.. sorry for you know... acting like a jerk" Scales tried to give a small smile while thinking ,for the love of Celestia i cant belive Devin's making me look like a idiot.... oh wait yes i can, "yeah will whatever" Rainbow Dash said while flying in midair "i guess i sorta overreacted a bit myself" she then crossed her hooves "but im keeping my eye on you" Scales only rolled his eyes in response and then leaned towards Aquarius, "did you really have to tell them i had a panic attack?" He whispered to Aquarius. "so you want me to tell the truth, about you being too stupid to know how to slow down and land?" Aquarius whispered back at Scales while leaning towards him, "plus, the one thing we need to do most of all, is blend in with this place" "blah blah sorry's a morry's now lets PARTY!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed out loud followd by a breaf bit a luaghter by twilight and Aquarius when suddanly the doors swung open and Applejack rushed in with a large Blue pony with spiky lime green hair both of them soaking wet while outside the sound of heavy rain is heard followd by thunder and strong wind. "Fishcord!" both Aquarius and Scales yelled out as they quickly joind there large friend. "Were have you been you big softi" Aquarius said joyously before looking him over "and what happened to your jacket?" "Its a um.. long story" Fishcord said softly and quitly as applejack focused on her friends. "willing y'all please explain to'a me what'in tarnations is going on with that dare thunderstorm out there?" Applejack asked her friend's while in the back Aquarius, Fishcord, and Scales all exchanged nervouse looks.
