Time frame: 8:00 P.M.- 11:00 P.M.
Rainbow let out a satisfying sigh as she cracked her back. It felt good to be able to move around again. She stretched out her wings and winced as they slowly spread out.
“Thanks, umm…” Rainbow started.
“My name is Sky High. I work on the same weather team as Fyrefly. What were you doing…” Sky let out a small giggle, “in her house?”
“I was chasing after her when I crashed into her wall. She hadn’t let me out since,” Rainbow answered.
“Oh. And why were you chasing her?” Sky asked curiously.
Rainbow raised her spoon. It didn’t matter if she told anypony else who her target was, since she already told Fyrefly that she was hunting her. Sky’s mouth formed an O upon seeing the spoon.
“So Fyrefly left you in the wall so that you couldn’t get her? Typical. She always does whatever she can to win games,” Sky explained.
Rainbow flapped her half-asleep wings. She let out a sigh and mentally readied herself. Payback time…
“Thanks for the help Sky High, but I got to get going.”
“Where are you heading off to?”
“Where else but wherever Fyrefly is?” Rainbow responded and dashed through the cloud door.
Fyrefly punched the air in front of her as she soared through the sky. Twenty spoons were already taken… how do so many ponies lose their spoons in one day?! It doesn’t matter, as long as Rainbow remains trapped in my house, I won’t need my spoon until I Blammo my target. I wonder if Sky will let me borrow hers?
Off in the distance, Fyrefly could just barely make out a dot coming towards her. Whatever it was, it was flying fast, like a bullet. It was difficult to discern the object in the dark night sky, but she could just barely make out a small rainbow.
No, it can’t be. She’s stuck at my house…
Fyrefly stopped in midair. She watched the dot come closer and closer, eventually showing a Pegasus. A cyan rainbow-maned Pegasus.
“What the hay?!” Fyrefly took off zooming in the other direction. Her pursuer still coming in strong.
Rainbow dashed through the sky in chase of her previous captor. The cold night air perfectly balanced any heat her body was giving off. The excitement, the adrenaline pumping through her veins. This was just like a race, except her goal was a pink Pegasus.
Fyrefly dived down into Ponyville, in hope of losing Rainbow in the empty streets. Didn’t Frigid tell me there was a party going on tonight? The sound of music and chattering ponies entered her ears. She looked to her left to see a bakery filled with ponies eating cupcakes and holding spoons. Fyrefly touched ground and sneakily trotted into the store.
I’ll just wait here for a bit, and when I think the coast is clear, it’s straight back home, Fyrefly thought. Fyrefly went to pick a muffin, but pulled back once she made contact with its cold top.
“Hey Fyrefly! I didn’t know you were coming to the party.”
Fyrefly turned to see her snowy angel of a friend, Frigid Drift. “Hey Frigid. To tell you the truth, I didn’t expect to be here either. Oh, and you should be careful, you’re making the treats cold.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, you know I can’t help myself,”
“Where is she?!” A Pegasus yelled, blasting through the bakery doors. “Where’s Fyrefly!? I know you’re in here! I can smell it…”
Fyrefly ducked behind the table. She nudged the top of her head over it to see her hunter searching frantically in the air.
“Rainbow Dash! Can you please calm down? I know it’s a party and all, but you don’t have to go on screaming your head off,” a white Pegasus shouted.
“Shut up Graze! This is a life or death situation!” Rainbow yelled back. Rainbow soared above the heads of the ponies in search of her blue-maned prey.
Fyrefly brought out a hoof from under the table and pulled Frigid down under.
“Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! Rainbow Dash is here! The Rainbow Dash! You think she’ll talk to talk to me?” Frigid Drift said excitedly.
Fyrefly stuck a hoof in front of her white friend's mouth. “Quiet! You’ll blow my cover!”
“What cover? Who are you hiding from?”
“Rainbow Dash! Who else?”
“But why? She’s the greatest Pegasus of all time.”
“Were you listening at all when I told you about my Blammo target?”
“Is it okay if I tell you that I was daydreaming about being with Rainbow Dash?”
Fyrefly facehoofed. “Okay, clearly talking to you is a complete waste of time. Can you just…. go out there and distract her or something? Sweet Celestia, you’re even worse than that Scootaloo foal…”
Frigid saluted her friend in approval. As serious as she was on the outside, she was bursting with joy on the inside. I get to talk to Rainbow Dash! Squeeeee!
Rainbow pulled up the table cloth from the table. There was a white Pegasus saluting to a pink Pegasus.
“There you are!” Rainbow yelled.
“Oh no!” Fyrefly exclaimed.
“It’s Rainbow Dash!” Frigid chimed in. The Pegasus jumped forward and pulled her idol into a big bear hug.
“What the…? Get off of me!” Rainbow shouted as she tried to pry herself from the mare. Frigid Drift simply nuzzled her head into Rainbow’s warm coat. All of her dreams were coming true right before her very eyes.
Rainbow saw a blur of pink exit the bakery out of the corner of her eye.
“Oh no you don’t!” Rainbow bucked away from Frigid and dashed off after Fyrefly. A large cyan feather lightly swayed into the hooves of Frigid Drift.
Tears came to her eyes as she stared at the feather. “It’s so beautiful…” Frigid muttered to herself. Now I can add it to my collection! she thought excitedly.
Fyrefly blasted herself towards her house, the only safe spot for her to go without Rainbow having a definite chance of getting her. Her wings still ached from the previous chase and she was flying much slower than usual.
On the other hoof, Rainbow was going faster than ever. She was closing in on her like a panther against a sloth. Luckily for Fyrefly, Frigid held onto her for quite a while to give her a pretty good head-start.
Fyrefly had a hard time catching her breath as she pushed herself away from Rainbow. All she had to do was hold onto the lead for a little bit longer, and she would reach her home. Fyrefly looked ahead to see her home coming into view.
Rainbow ignored the bitterly cold wind freezing her body. She ignored the cries of her lungs to take a break. She ignored every single thing going around her except her target straight ahead. Because of Fyrefly, she spent the entire afternoon at Bonbon’s, was left trapped inside a wall, and was molested by a white mare. There was no way she was going to let her target slip away.
Fyrefly looked back to see Rainbow just about 20 yards from her and still closing in. She peered ahead again to see her home, her sanctuary.
Rainbow finally noticed her target’s house appearing right in front of her. She bit her lip and forced herself to go faster.
“Oh…. no…. you…. don’t…” Rainbow said, the wind distorting her ability to speak. Rainbow stretched her foreleg as far as she could. She could swear her muscles and skin were tearing as she reached to close the few inches between the two Pegasi.
“BLAMMO!”
Fyrefly crashed through the door of her home with Rainbow flying in right after. Sky High took another sip of her tea as she watched the two fly in.
“Darn it!” Fyrefly screamed.
“HA! Take that, Fyrefly! That’s what you get for leaving me stuck in your wall for four hours!” Rainbow gloated. “I got my first Blammo! Woohoo!”
Fyrefly got up and dusted off the cloud dust. “Fine, you got me.” She looked over to the white Pegasus sitting on her couch. “What are you doing here, Sky?”
“Oh, I came here to tell you that I found your spoon that you said you lost. And when I came here, I found her” Sky pointed to Rainbow, “stuck in your wall. She looked like she was in trouble so I helped her to get out.”
Fyrefly’s eye twitched. She ground her teeth as her anger reached its boiling point.
“I’m…. just going to go now, okay?” Rainbow muttered sheepishly.
“SKKKKKKYYYYYY!!!!!!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Did y’all hear that?” Applejack asked.
“Hear what?” Twilight responded.
“Ah coulda sworn ah just heard…. never mind.”
“Okay then…. so what’s the plan?” Twilight asked.
“Just follow mah lead...”
The two mares approached the flower trio and Junebug. The four were chatting gleefully about petals and their arrangements.
“Hey girls! Ah was wondering about gettin’ a shipment of… lilacs fer the farm,” Applejack stated.
Applejack glanced over to Junebug. She was holding her spoon in her mouth. The other tree had laid out their spoons on the table. Apparently they believed it would be an interesting idea to decorate their spoons, and painted their spoons in an array of roses, lilies, and daisies. Each of them were comparing with one another’s to see whose looked the best. This is going to be easier than ah imagined…
“Ah’ll be right back,” Applejack whispered to Twilight.
“What?” Twilight hissed. “I thought we were in this together!”
“We are. Trust me. Just wait fer mah signal, they’re not even holdin’ their spoons.”
Twilight nodded to her orange friend. Applejack winked back and turned her gaze over to Junebug.
“Hey, Junebug, ah was wondering when you can stop by the farm. With the daisy flower delivery and all that.”
“I thought you were looking for lilacs?” Junebug responded.
“Oh, ah…. ah meant lilacs. Sure. How’s about we go outside where we can talk in private?”
“Oh um…. ok Applejack.” Junebug got up and followed Applejack towards the door.
The flower trio stared at Twilight standing by herself. The lavender mare gave them an awkward smile and looked back over to Applejack. The country mare gave her a wink. Applejack looked around quickly and chucked a cupcake at the flower trio.
“Ouch! What was that?” Spike yelled out, getting in the way of Applejack’s shot. Spike grazed the back of his head with his claw and felt the sticky filling of the cupcake. “Oh come on! I just got my spikes waxed too…” Spike said to himself as he rushed for the bathroom to clean himself up. A blue Pegasus in a stunning black outfit slyly picked up the spoon dropped on the floor.
Twilight facehoofed. Some help that was. It would have been very simple for Twilight to have gotten Daisy, had she not situated herself between her two friends. Wait a second…. what am I doing?!
Twilight levitated the three spoons away from the flower trio. Since they weren’t holding them, it was still not considered taking the spoons by force.
“Hey, what are you doing?!” Rose inquired.
“Yeah, we worked hard to decorate those spoons,” Daisy chimed in.
“I just wanted to have a look at these amazing designs! Anyways, you won’t be needing it very soon,” Twilight answered.
“Thank you so much!” Lily said gratefully.
“What do you mean we won’t be needing them?” Daisy asked.
Twilight waved a hoof to make Rose back away. She brought out her spoon and said, “Blammo.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Applejack stood outside of Sugarcube Corner facing Junebug. She placed her spoon in her hat, so that when she convinced Junebug to drop her spoon, Applejack could just whip it right out.
“So Junebug, think you can make the delivery sometime on Tuesday?” Applejack asked.
“I should be able to…” Junebug replied.
“Junebug, no offense but, ah can’t take ya seriously with that spoon in yer mouth. Ya don’t mind putting it away now do ya?”
“Umm… no problem Applejack,” Junebug placed her spoon in her flower baskets.
Perfect Applejack thought. She felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to see the gray mane of Mayor Mare.
“What do ya need Mayor?”
The mayor scanned up and down the Earth pony’s body. A sly smile appeared on her face and she yelled out, “BLAMMO!”
Applejack’s jaw dropped in shock. “But ah…. ah…. mah spoon was in mah hat… doesn’t that mean ah’m still touching it?”
“Well Applejack, I couldn’t see it at all. And the rules clearly stated that the spoon needed to be twenty percent visible,” the mayor replied matter-of-factly.
“But…. the farm…”
“Oh don’t be quite so glum. Your family can still win with Apple Bloom and Big Macintosh right?”
Applejack’s eyes widened. Big Mac wasn’t really paying much attention to the game and she thoroughly convinced Fluttershy that it was fine to go after her sister. She never expected herself to get Blammoed. Who do ah choose now? Fluttershy or mah own sister?

{He responds in these}
Spike got out of the restroom after finally washing off the remains of the cupcake. The baby dragon walked out of the room and his face hit the chest of a stallion standing right in front of the door.
“BLAMMO!”
[BLAMMO bitch]
<BLAMMO! Hey Spike!>
Spike quickly searched his body for his spoon. “What happened to my spoon?”
Girokon took out another spoon from his outfit. “You dropped it when you got hit in the head with a cupcake.” [Idiot.]
“BLAMMO!” Girokon heard on the other side of the room.
“Pinkie you didn’t have to announce it to everypony,” Twilight said. “Berry Punch is literally asleep. All you had to do was poke her with the spoon and say Blammo.”
“Well it’s not my fault! The game is too exciting! And that’s two in one day! Do you have two Blammos in one day?”
Twilight shook her head.
“I didn’t think so…” Pinkie picked up Berry’s spoon and stuffed it into her puffy cloud of a mane and trotted joyfully away.
Twilight looked down at the mulberry mare lying on the table. Dozens of glasses and beer bottles were scattered around her. Some from Pinkie and the others, but mostly from Berry herself. Twilight shook her head. This sure was one hectic day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author’s Note: And so concludes the first day of Blammo. Thought I would keep the Mane Six for the second round? Nope.avi In case you are wondering about some of the ponies that were mentioned in this chapter, here some links:
Sky High is a tumblr pony. She seems to be really sad about something these days… (I wish her eyes weren’t so seductive…)
Frigid Drift is my favorite tumblr pony. Yes, she is obessed with Rainbow Dash. There's also a story about her (although I didn't read it
myself).
Junebug appeared in "Secret of My Excess". Why did I choose her? Because she also has a tumblr.
Here's an extra picture I'll throw in to prove my point about Frigid Drift:
