//------------------------------// // Unpleasant Surprises // Story: Feelin' Princessy // by Luna Plays Minecraft //------------------------------// "This is Fluttershy's house. She's a little shy, but really nice, being the element of kindness and all." Rainbow Dash explained to Vinyl, knocking on the wooden door of the cottage. It slowly opened, revealing a yellow pegasus with a long pink mane. "Hey, Shy'. Can we come in?" Dash asked the timid mare. "Oh, of course princesses." She said with a bow. She then noticed Vinyl starring at a small shed in her yard. "Hey, hey, hey, stay out of my shed! Oh, um, if you don't mind, that is..." "Er, okay. I won't go in your shed." Vinyl said, and followed Dash and Fluttershy into the cottage. "You're just in time. I have a friend here named Wheatley. He's a little strange, and always talks about a place called Aperture, but he's still nice. I was just telling him about Lord Smooze." She said, leading them into the living room. "That's it, i'm out!" Vinyl said, and hastily exited, followed by Rainbow Dash. As she left, she noticed the same shed in the yard. Her and Dash exchanged a look. "Just one peek won't hurt." Dash said, and opened the door, before quickly closing it. She spun around, to come face-to-face with Fluttershy. "I told ya'll to stay out of my shed." She said with a crazy look on her face. "Alright, we're getting out of this crazy town." Vinyl said, and teleported both alicorns back to the castle. She turned to Dash with a look of curiosity. "So what did you see in there?" Dash's relief turned into horror, as she recalled the animal corpses on the walls... "You don't want to know." Vinyl Scratch was listening to Pony Rock Anthem, and playing with a slinky, when Dash burst in. “Ever heard of knocking?” Vinyl asked the cyan alicorn. “Nope. Anyways, there’s a really big group of ponies outside, and they look mad.” Dash told the alabaster alicorn. “Maybe they just want us to go force Valve to finish Portal 3?” Vinyl suggested. “I doubt it. Portal isn’t that popular.” Dash said, suddenly noticing Vinyl’s slinky. “Well, we better go see what they want.” Vinyl said, and they headed outside. There, they found a large crowd of nobles screaming at them. “Don’t worry Vinyl, I got this.” Dash said, and stepped forward. “EVERYPONY SHUT UP!” She yelled, causing all of the ponies to silence themselves. “Now what do you want?” She asked. She heard the crowd yell several things, but the only thing that really stood out was somepony yelling they wanted the two alicorns dethroned. “Are you saying that we aren't good at ruling?” Vinyl inquired. The two mares heard a loud yes from the crowd. “Well as true as that is, we refuse to let anypony else take over. So you can all go home.” But the crowd stayed. “We seriously don’t care what you do, but we’re going back into the castle now, so it’s really pointless for you all to stay.” Dash told them, and her and Vinyl went back inside. Dash was trying really hard to sleep, but was kept awake by the yelling of the ponies outside. The guards said they would get rid of them, but clearly did a bad job at it. Suddenly, the door burst open. A white unicorn with a pink mane walked in, horn glowing. “AH! Who are you and what are you doing in my room?” Dash asked the intruder. “My name is Celestia, and i’m here to get rid of the tyrant that rules Equestria.” She said, causing Dash to laugh. “You’re kidding, right?” Rainbow chuckled. “Not at all.” and her vision went black. Vinyl Scratch awoke in a dark forest. Twisted trees loomed above her. “Ugh. What happened?” She asked herself out loud. “I think we just got beaten by Celestia...” Dash sat up next to her. “Well, buck.” Vinyl said, standing up and brushing herself off. “I guess we should go take our kingdom back, shouldn’t we?” Dash nodded in agreement, and they took off. --- “I just don’t know what went wrong...” Vinyl sighed. “Yea. How did they become alicorns in under a day?” Rainbow asked half to herself, half to Vinyl. “I don’t know. Maybe they got a hold of some of Pinkie’s ‘special cupcakes’ and they somehow became alicorns from the experience.” Vinyl suggested. “First of all, I just know you’re referencing another on of your grimdark fanfictions, and second, I don’t think you can become an alicorn that easily.” Rainbow told her. “Yea... I know, we can create an army of ponies that love us!” Vinyl exclaimed. “That’s a great idea! I’m positive we have tons of adoring fans. Come on Vinyl, let’s go.” --- “How do we not have any fans?!?” Dash asked. “The ponies in this universe...” Vinyl muttered. “Yea... Wait a minute! The ponies in this universe don’t like us, but I know a universe where we are loved so much, the things that live there hold conventions for us!” Rainbow said excitedly. “Dash... Where are you going with this?” Vinyl asked nervously. “Pack your things, Vinyl. We’re going to earth!”
