My New Life
Chapter 41 - The Fashion Show
I took a peak from the curtain separating the backstage from the catwalk.
"How the heck did all these ponies find out about this fashion show?" I asked to no one in particular.
"Word travels fast when a royal fashion show is announced." Luna said, looking super sexy in my jeans and t-shirt.
"Its been one day."
"Well next time I will make sure to spread the word faster." She said with a grin.
"It was you?!"
"Pfft, of course it was me. And a bit of Tia."
"Yep. I struck again." Tia said popping her head around a curtain. Apparently, she decided to take the role as the show coordinator as she had a headset and clipboard. "By the way, the show starts in three minutes. So you best get dressed Pure Heart."
"Oh fine. Let me just find the mask. But after this is over, we will have words."
Third Person POV
"Gooooood evening and welcome to the first annual Royal Fashion Show. I am one of your hosts, Pinkie Pie. And this fine piece of stallion sitting next to me is Vinnie."
"Yeah, what of it?" Said the black stallion with a green mane sitting next to her.
"Relax Vin, I'm just letting them know you are here."
"Oh, right. My bad."
"Anyways, let's welcome out our first model."
A fit, little red head came out on the walkway.
"Oh! What a cute little girl! I am pretty sure that's Starfire. She seems to be wearing a shirt with the words 'This is my party shirt!' written on the front. That sounds like my kind of shirt. Of course, that would be the only shirt I ever wore because I love to party!"
"Great, now she is going to throw another party." Vinnie said.
"Oh cheer up mister sour puss. You get to always play your silly saxophone at all my parties."
"True. Now who is the next model out on the runway."
"Well, it appears to be a young boy with black hair. That must be Nightshade. He seems to be sporting a pair of short shorts and a tank top."
"Those, my dear Pinkie Pie, are called daisy dukes. They are very popular among the humans."
"Oh really? Guys like to wear them?"
"Well, not normally. Mostly only girls and looney tunes like to wear them."
"Looney tunes?"
"Yeah, you know. Nut jobs. Wackadoos. Crazy people."
"Oh, like me!" Pinkie beamed brightly.
Vinnie turned and patted her fluffy mane. "Yes honey, just like you."
"Ooh. He seems to have some sparkly chains around his neck."
"That my dear is called bling."
"Bling? Is that because it is so shiny?"
"Pretty much."
"Alrighty. Next we have a nice little girl with blue hair."
"That must be Moonbeam." Vinnie said.
"You know that because she looks just like her mommy, huh?"
"Nope. I just know that they have three kids and we have already named two of them."
"Oh you silly goose. Well you would be correct. I do believe that is Moonbeam. And she looks pretty cute in her slippers and jammies."
"Yeah, she is adorable." He said rolling his eyes, to which he got a swift punch in the foreleg.
"You bet she is adorable."
"Alright, alright. Though the one thing I really like about her outfit is her shirt."
"Oh yeah? Is that because its green?"
"Well yes, but also because it has a funny phrase written on it."
"Really? What does it say?"
"It says 'Well I'm just one big freakin' ray of sunshine, aren't I?'"
"That sounds a bit sarcastic."
"It is supposed to be. It is basically saying they aren't a morning person."
"Why wouldn't anyone be a morning person?"
"Not all of us are as peppy as you."
"Well, you got me there."
"Now who is this coming out on the runway?"
"Silly. That is Princess Luna."
"Wow, she looks pretty ho-" Just then, Vinnie got a slap on the back of the head.
"Would you like to reform that sentence?" Pinkie said, holding a large mallet.
"Um, she is very beautiful."
"Yes she is, just look at how the moon light shines on her sparkling belt."
"Yes, and may I say, jeans suit her very well."
"Yes you may. Hmm."
"What is wrong?"
"Well, I thought for sure Prince Pure Heart would be coming out tonight."
"Yes, that is indeed very peculiar."
Just then, a being materialized on the end of the runway.
"Whoa! Did you see that?! That was amazing! One second, the runway is empty. Then poof! Someone is standing there."
"That isn't just anyone. That is a Predator."
"Oh silly. We don't have any Predators here in Equestria."
"You know about Predators?"
"Well duh. Of course I do?"
"Well for you folks who don't. They are a hunter race of aliens that find sufficient prey to hunt and then make a game out of killing them."
"Yep, we are all doomed." Pinkie said with a smile.
Vinnie took one look at her and facehoofed. "You are a dork."
"Yes, but I'm your dork."
"What is it doing now?"
"It looks like it is about to remove its mask and show us its hideous face." Pinkie said in delight.
"Wait, could it be? It is. Its Prince Pure Heart." Vinnie said in excitement.
"Wow, excited much?" Pinkie asked.
"Oh, you can talk."
"Yes, it is me." Pure Heart said.
"What? How did you get into our microphone system?" Vinnie asked.
"I'm the prince. Duh. And I also have very advance Predator technology. So eat it Vinnie."
"Well, is that the best costume you could think of? Because it looks fake."
"You seemed to think it looked real when you thought I was a Predator."
"That was before."
"Before, wha-" All of a sudden, Pure Heart began to make grunting noises and was holding his stomach.
"Ooh. It looks like mister tough guy can't handle a little stomach ache."
All of a sudden, is arms flew to the side and a creature burst out of his stomach.
"Oh my gosh. That is disgusting. Huh Vin? Vin?" Pinkie looked around for her co-host and found him under the desk. "What you doing? Playing hide and go seek?"
"Huh? What? Yeah that's it. You found me." He got up from under the desk and sat down again. "Well that was mildly disturbing."
"Mildly disturbing. Me and Bubbles scared the ever-loving crap out of you." Pure Heart held up his hand and the iguana sitting on his chest turned and gave it a high-five. "Well that is it for the fashion show tonight folks. Hope you enjoyed it and have a safe trip home. Goodnight."
Pure Heart's POV
I walked back stage with Bubbles on my shoulder, laughing at my great prank. I walked right into a pissed off Luna.
"What in the heck was that?"
"Hilarious. That's what that was."
"You are so dumb. You probably gave all those ponies mild heart attacks."
"That was the point."
"What?"
"Honey, these ponies don't know what scared is. Things are going to get much scarier in the next couple months and they need to be prepared for the worst. Also, consider that comeuppance for making me be in a fashion show." I kissed her on the forehead.
"That was so cool daddy." Starfire said, as the kids ran up to me.
"Yeah, where did you even get such armor?" Nightshade asked.
"Oh, let's just say I owe a certain doctor a favor now."
