“PARTY PARTY PARTY!” Pinkie Pie was in full force, and so was the party. Everyone in Ponyville was there, even Spike, who was feeling somewhat better and was sitting in a corner, drinking some of the tea Zecora gave him.
“And when I stunned them, they just couldn’t speak.” Rainbow Dash, of course, was wearing her Wonderbolt costume. “They said it was the most stunning performance they’ve seen in ten years!”
“AWWWESOOOME!” shouted Snips and Snails, who were bouncing around Rainbow Dash’s feet.
“Yes, so awesome, naturally. And then Spitfire said…” Rainbow Dash continued to talk on, while Twilight held a conference with Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy.
“Are you sure this will work?” Fluttershy asked nervously.
“I hope so.” Twilight responded.
“Oh, I should think so,” Rarity said. “I did make the costume after all. I don’t mean to brag, but I am an excellent seamstress.”
“Reckon you better be if we pull this one off. It’ll be a doozy. Twilight, you got the elements?” Applejack asked.
“Right here,” Twilight said, holding up a small box. “But we’ll bring them out when…”
Just then the door burst open and Discord was there.
“HAHAH I HAVE RETURNED!” Discord said menacingly, while the ponies gasped.
“Rainbow Dash!” Twilight said. “Quickly, wield your Element of Harmony!”
“What? Oh, right.” Rainbow Dash picked up the necklace. “Okay, let’s get this over with.
Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie all floated and their elements glowed. But nothing happened with Rainbow Dash. The ponies crashed to the ground.
“Aha! Got you!” Pinkie Pie shouted.
“What? What’s going on?” Rainbow Dash backed up as the ponies started walking towards her.
“You’re not really Rainbow Dash, are you?” Twilight demanded.
“But..but Discord!” Rainbow Dash protested. But Discord glowed and it was a costume! In reality, Fleur-de-Lys had Bubblecup balanced on her shoulders and they were playing the part.
“All right then, what did you do with the real Rainbow Dash, Brony?” Applejack put her face right in front of Dash’s.
Jus then the ceiling glowed and floated away with a crash. The ponies looked up in shock to see the sinister alicorn known as Brony.
“HELLO PONYVILLE! I see you found my puppet. No matter! You will rule under Brony rule soon.” He said, cackling and making thunderclouds appear.
“Careful with that,” Bubblecup warned.
“Shut up, Derpy!” he said, glaring at her. “Derp more!”
“My name is Bubblecup, kind sir,” Bubblecup said, with sarcasm on the last two words.
“Nope! It’s Derpy because I say it is. You females are so sensitive.” Brony made more thunderclouds appear.
“Ladies, if you please.” Rarity said, glaring up at Brony. “Bubblecup is a lady. Ladies are ladies, not ‘females’” Rarity said in a tone that implied that Brony was being very uncouth.
“Oh now you’re worrying over nothing. You should just marry Spike and get it over with,” Brony said angrily.
“What? But he’s just a boy!” Rarity protested.
“I don’t wanna get married! At least not yet,” Spike said, standing up and huddling behind Twilight. “I have so many years ahead of me…bothering Twilight and stuff.”
“Spike,” Twilight said warningly.
“You MUST marry him! He is not a child, he’s about as mature as you.” Brony yelled.
“Well I NEVER. He is so obviously a child, do not tell me you are so obtuse—“
“HE IS A NICE GUY. You should marry him, because you females only care about jerks. You never had a guy be nice to you, right? NO! You only go after Blueblood,” Brony shouted.
“What? How did you know—never mind.” Rarity pawed the ground. “I know enough that Blueblood is not a gentleman, which is why I didn’t stay with him. But I also know that niceness is not enough to warrant marriage, and besides, Spike. Is. A. Child.” She stomped her hoof, emphasizing the obvious.
“You’re a gold digger,” Brony said. “Just like her!” he pointed to Fleur.
“Parodonne-moi?” Fleur was genuinely baffled.
“Snobby little unicorns, they care only about money and not nice guys. Don’t you know that men HATE being nice to women? That it’s VERY HARD when the women don’t return the affection?” Brony’s eyes flashed a whole bunch of different colours.
“Now hold on there!” Mr. Cake said, trying to help Rarity, who had been a faithful client for years, after all. “Are you saying that women are obligated to marry a man just for kindness? Well, I meet a lot of women in my business and I’m courteous to them…doesn’t mean they’re fixed to marry me!”
“By that logic, any male client I meet would have to marry me,” Mrs. Cake added.
“SHUT UP! It doesn’t work that way!” Brony shouted. “Women are cruel, callous creatures, except adorable, submissive ones like Fluttershy!”
“Now LISTEN HERE MISTER” Fluttershy flew upwards but Applejack held her back.
“You females are all alike. But you will never defeat me!” And with all the thunderclouds exploded and Brony flew away.
“After him!” Twilight shouted, for she had set up the balloon and given Fluttershy the harness.
“Not so fast!” Rainbow Dash said.
“Oh, put a sock in it!” Bubblecup produced a large stocking and put it over Rainbow Dash’s head. Rainbow Dash sputtered and flailed around on the floor. Her daughter, Dinky, rolled her eyes at the pun.
Twilight and the rest of her friends went after Brony.
