"Pinkie, we should get back!" Fluttershy softly commanded.
Pinkie Pie jumped out of a vat filled with chocolate pudding. The now brown colored mare bounced in front of the yellow Pegasus, "And miss out on all of this!" she wrapped her incredibly long tongue around herself and spun around fast and the chocolate pudding disappeared into the mare's smiling mouth. The pink again mare bounced excitedly, "Are you crazy?!"
The chefs in the kitchen glared angrily at her because of the hoof tracks on the floor, chocolate on the walls, and for ruining Princess Luna's pudding.
Fluttershy gave a shy smile to the angry chefs, who went back to work. She looked back to where Pinkie was standing, but Pinkie wasn't there, "Pinkie?"
"Over here Fluttershy!" Pinkie called with a slice of cake in her mouth.
"Pinkie..." Fluttershy trotted up to the ravenous mare, "we have to get back to the others."
"But this cake is so good!" Pinkie took another piece of cake and ate it in one bite.
A chef with a very tall white hat and a tweedy moustache stomped up to the pair and yelled at them in a fancy accent, "Aund what dooo you sink you are doing?!"
Pinkie laughed in her usual way, uncontrollable and loud, "You sound like Apple Bloom when she had the cutie pox."
"I doo not know zhes Apple Bloom, nor do I care too know. I just want you..." he motioned his hoof vigorously between the two of them, "out of mye kitchon!"
Pinkie Pie laughed harder, "Kitchon!"
Fluttershy shyly smiled and blushed in embarrassment, "We'll leave right away."
"NONONO!" Pinkie objected in her laughter, "I want to hear him say more words!"
"Git out of mye kitchen, before I call zhe guards!" the chef threatened.
Pinkie Pie was rolling on the ground laughing harder than ever before in her life. The chef looked even angrier; Fluttershy leaned down to Pinkie, "We should go... Now."
"Sahahay mohahare!" Pinkie demanded through laugher.
The chef's face grew red, "Guards! Guards!" he called.
Two white pagesi decorated in golden armor and a golden head dress with their blue buzz cut manes arrived through the door. "Yes Master Chef!" they responded in unison.
The chef pointed at the two mares, "Arrest zhese two!"
Just as soon as they were ordered the guards seized the two "Intruders". Pinkie Pie stopped laughing and put on an angry look, "Hey, get off me, I want to eat more caike!" Pinkie burst into laughter again when she mocked the chef.
Fluttershy shook her head, and had a depressed look, and the chef laughed, "Au revoir!" he waved with a wicked smile.
The pegasus guards began to drag the two mares away, Pinkie struggled to get free, while Fluttershy let her hooves drag along.
"What's going on her?" a familiar soothing voice asked.
"Princess!" Master Chef said taken aghast, he bowed followed by every one else, even the guards. "We were just escorting zhese tow kitchen wreckors out of zhe castle," he explained
Twilight deadpanned, "Pinkie, what did you do now?"
Pinkie snorted, "Did you not hear his voice? Speak more!" she demanded.
Master Chef grew red in the face, Princess Celestia began to chuckle, the chuckle then turned into laughter. Everyone gave an uncomfortable laugh. She then stopped after a few seconds and so did every one else. "Let them go please!" Celestia ordered patiently.
The guards immediately released the mares who went to their friends' sides. Master Chef's mouth flew open, and his eyes grew wide, "But... But, Princess..." he stuttered. "Zhese two, have ruined everyzhing... Your cakes, Princess Luna's pudding and..."
Princess Celestia interrupted him, "And you are my Master Chef..." she turned around and faced the mares, "you should be able to make replacements immediately right." She winked at the mares, who acknowledged the gesture and smiled.
Master Chef's face grew pink in embarrassment, "Of Course I can..." he threw a hoof on his chest, "I can do it fastur zhan you can say, 'Giant hats make zhe stallion."
"Giant hats make zhe stallion!" Pinkie mocked.
Master Chef squinted his eyes angrily, "We are not done here," he stated.
"Well duuuh, because you're over there..." Pinkie pointed her hoof right in front of her, "and you're not here."
"You gotta admit, she's one of a kind," Rainbow Dash laughed.
"Come on ponies, now that everypony is here, let's go to the garden!" Celestia corralled them, out of the door.
They gave a collective, "Yea!", and walked out of the kitchen.
"Hold on a second!" Celestia turned around back into the kitchen. She walked up to the chef, "Did she eat any of the banana cream pie?"
"Uhh," the chef turned around and saw the freshly made yellow pie he made. He turned back around, "No Princess, she did not."
Celestia giggled, "Good make sure that gets out there. I've been craving that all day."
Master Chef bowed, "Yes Princess," with that Princess Celestia trotted back to the group and they continued their way out of the castle. When they could no longer be heard, Master Chef released a loud sigh. He turned around to face the kitchen staff, who stood there trying to hold back their laughter. He stood up straight, closed his eyes for a second, then opened them with authority on his face, "Well what are you standing around for!" he stomped his hoof on the ground. "We need: four caikes, Princess Luna's poodding remade, and anozer banana cram pie! Now move!" With that, the kitchen became alive again with rushing ponies trying to prepare the last of the sweets.
Outside in the garden, the six mares, and the twin princesses sat in the garden and made small talk, while Golden Quill brought them their food and refreshments.
Celestia told stories about the historic figures, and Luna told the stories of the Zodiac ponies. While listening to the stories: Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Apple Jack, watched Gold Quill as he ran back and forth.
Princess Celestia took notice of this, "Golden Quill may you come here."
Golden Quill filled up the rest of Pinkie's punch cup and ran over to Celestia, and bowed, "Yes, your highness."
"Sit down and enjoy this lovely day with us!" she peacefully ordered.
Golden Quill's eyes widened, he drew in close to his ruler. "You mean sit down with you and all of these other mares and eat and... Talk?" he whispered nervously.
She smiled confidently at the party, then turned her head, so her mouth was close to his ear. "Yes," she whispered back.
"Princess I must oppose. There is much work to do, and I must make sure my duties are attended to," he made a quick excuse.
Celesia put her hoof to her chin, "Let me think... You are my personal assistant, and as my personal assistant you do whatever work I give you. Right?"
Golden Quill looked at the mares in the corner of his eyes, and blushed a little. "Well, it is a beautiful day out and the food does look, we made..."
"Then sit on down partner!" Apple Jack scooted over to make room.
"Now that I think about it..." Princess Luna began, "Where is my pudding?"
"I don't know Princess, but it was good!" Pinkie Pie answered with her mouth full of cake.
"And what does that mean?" Luna wondered.
Golden Quill sat down by Apple Jack, but he tried to make as much space between him and her. His horn began glow a brighter yellow than him and so did a cupcake that levitated to his mouth. He took a small bite and looked up, every pair of eyes were on him, he nervously swallowed while adjusting his square glasses. He turned bright red, "Nice weather were having today." He looked at Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, "The pegasi sure do know what their doing with the clouds."
"Actually, I don't even do anything to the weather," Fluttershy humbly stated.
"Yeah! Just because a pony has wings, doesn't mean she plays with the weather!" Rainbow Dash scolded.
The yellow hue disappeared from his horn and the cupcake, which fell to the ground. Pinkie looked at the frozen stallion; she snuck up on him and began to poke him. "Oooo he's like a stallion statue..." she thought for a second, "A stallitue," she laughed at her new word.
"Rainbow Dash why'd you scare him?!" Twilight scolded.
"Excuse me for defending my kind?" Rainbow defended.
"Now now, ya'll. Let's not get bent out of shape," Apple Jack stepped in. "Yes, his comment may have been a little racist, but hay, every race has their stereotypes that everypony pokes fun at."
Luna walked up to Golden Quill, "I can see into the dreams of sleeping ponies..."
"Wait! You can see into dreams?" Rarity fretted.
"Yes, and when it comes to your dreams..." Luna shuttered, "I wish I wasn't able, too," Rarity blushed and frowned. Luna turned back to the living yellow statue, "I have seen his dreams before. He does not live in Canterlot, he has no horn..." she tapped his horn, and he wobbled a little, "He lives in the clouds, with wings and a wife. They're soaring in the skies, while teaching a young filly..." Luna's horn and Golden Quill became shrouded in a black outline. Golden Quill started to rise above the ground; he was about fifteen feet up when the magic shroud disappeared. "To fly!" she finished her statement with enthusiasm.
"Are you crazy?!" the mares questioned in unison.
As he fell Golden Quill's mane flowed upwards, he blinked furiously and screamed, "Not Again!"
"Again?!" Rainbow asked. She took off in a mad flying dash to stop the stallion from hitting the ground.
He began to glow, and looked as if he exploded in a brilliant ball of light. He appeared with the same intensity on the ground right back in the spot he originally sat in. Rainbow Dash stopped and turned around with an astonished look so did every one else, except Celestia and Luna.
Golden Quill breathed heavily, but then slowed. "Honestly I love the feel of that wind every time," the wind blew his mane back.
"Your welcome," Luna smiled.
The mares awkwardly laughed, Rainbow Dash landed and landed back in her seat. Twilight shook her head, "How did you do that blink spell?"
He looked at Twilight, "I've been raised in the castle since I was born. Princess Celestia taught me everything about magic, so I know a bit about magic."
"Kind of like me," Twilight realized. "Except I wasn't here when I was born, and I don't live in the castle anymore." Twilight glanced at her teacher, "So why did you need us here today Princess?"
"Ah, yes that," Celestia remembered. "We just wanted to celebrate the creation of Equestria with our favorite ponies."
"Over a thousand years ago, two alicorn sisters, one who raised and set the sun, and the one who did the same with the moon, discovered a land were peace and harmony could reign. So they inhabited the world with subjects that had similar characteristics as them. With that Equestria was born," Twilight explained.
"Yes, my star pupil," Celestia congratulated. "And together Luna and I..."
A large clash of thunder sounded close and a flash of lightning appeared to strike the castle. Fluttershy jumped and hid behind Rainbow Dash, every one looked up. Erie dark clouds began to roll above them virtually blocking out the sun.
"It's not supposed to rain today," Celestia whispered to herself. With that it began to downpour.
Rarity screamed, "AAAAAHHH, my glorious mane!"
"Everypony inside!" Luna commanded. No one waited, they all ran for the open door leading into the castle. After Apple Jack was inside, they closed the doors.
"Is everypony okay?" Twilight asked.
Apple Jack shook herself dry, "Of course, it's only some water."
"You may be able to say that. But look at my mane!" Rarity whined, as she pointed at her dripping mane.
"Those pegasi are going to answer to me!" Celestia threatened. "They do not intrude on a supposed to be beautiful day, just to pull some prank!" She stomped off and every one nervously followed behind.
"Why do you think they're pulling a prank?" Golden Quill asked Luna silently.
"I don't think it was them," Luna stated.
He raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
There was no time to answer because they were in the throne room, and on the throne sat a figure in a green cloak. Celestia stopped, as did the rest of the party.
The figure raised its head slightly and his white teeth could be seen in his shadowed face. "Dear sisters," his voice was deep and haunting.
Luna went beside her sister, "He's Back?!" she said with concern.
Celestia's pupils shrank as her eyes widened, "That's... That's impossible."
The figure laughed, "But of course it can, as you can see, I'm here... Where I belong!"
