//------------------------------// // Preet Prupprin Prapes (and I have no idea what a Prape is) // Story: Wake up. See this. What do? - Part 2: Raise the Flag (comment driven story) // by RazortheAwesome //------------------------------// "Grape, blape, gape, ape, snape, lape, bape, surlalape, turbate, crepe, crape, cape, tate, late, bate, sate, late, mape, hape, dape, bape, fape, yape, vape, drape, lape (oops, already said that one), chape, shape, tape, duct tape, it ducts and it tapes, duct tape, duct tape, escape opape, wape, quape, fjdksafdsafdsaklhjklfdshajfhjdskalfhdksalcthulhuftaghanfjdkslafjkafdjhklahfjksalape. There are just so many words that rhyme with prape, and I don't even know what a prape is, but it's such a funny word. Hehe. I don't know why but I think it would be a fruit, like a grape, and it would be purple, like a grape, and it would taste all yummy and be all juicy and make great prape cupcakes and cakes, and..... wait.... What was I doing again? Tenebris: *krhm* Pinkie: ... T: *krhm* P: ... T: *KRHM* P: ... T: PINKAMINA DIANE PIE! P: WHAT! T: *Sigh* Are you still angry that I was away so long? I'm sorry about that but, right now there is more important thing- P: ... T: Pinkie. Why are you in canterlot? P: I don't know. T: What do you mean you don't know?! How can you not know?! P: Well I might have gone and asked razor to do this and he really wasn't prepared. T: Pinkie, You're lucky that you aren't in Griffin kingdom or in some dragons cave. P: I know but, at least i got my own chapter. T: ... P: Tenebris? Why is your eye twitching? T: D-don't mind that. Just go to Ponyville. Jason is in bad condition and he needs everyone there. P: Okie dokie loki. Lalalalalalla. T: Confound that Pinkie Pie, She is going to drive me insane. "Oh right.... Thanks Tenebris. Oh, and by the way, I'm not mad at you for leaving. I was never mad at you. How can I be mad at you? I missed you.... WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME TENEBRIS!!! I WAS SO LONELY WITHOUT YOU!!!! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE IN THE COMMENTS OTHER THAN RAZOR WHO TALKS TO ME!!!!!! But you're back now so it's all okay. Oh, and again, thanks. Sorry, I got a little distracted there for a moment but thank you for putting me back on track. Remind you to give you a cupcake soon." With that done you clap your hooves, ready for action. "All right. Now that that's settled. Razor.... WRITE THAT CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!" .... .... "Razor?" "Are you there? ... .... " "Hello..... Hello...... Anybody home?" *This sound plays* "Huh..... Where'd you go..... You're supposed to write that chapter for me today Razor Bazer.... Razor...." *This sound plays again* With the lack of any kind of response, you start to feel a bit lonely, you're not sure why. Gummy isn't here, he's safe back at home, but Razor isn't here, and he was supposed to write that chapter for you today. Your special chapter... The one that was supposed to come after Applejack's special chapter last time. But alas, he is not here. With nothing else to do, you turn towards the fourth wall. Razor may not be here, but the commenters certainly are. "Well commenters. I guess Razor isn't here so..." Break the fourth wall. Just! Just... Actually, I don't know what Pinkie should do. Uh, prepare a party just because? LETS PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!! "Well, party party party I wanna have a party I need to have a party You better have a party Come on, party party party Ya gotta party hardy I'm gonna have a party Or else you will be sorry Well party party party The party's gonna starty I know a guy named Marty, Marty loves to party Come on, party party party Party make me farty I gotta take antacid So I can keep on party(ing) Sweet sweet party Party party party You gotta party And I wanna party Who's gonna make this party started? Me, me, ME!" *Cue instrumental bit in which Pinkie Pie plays all the instruments, including an epic guitar solo. "Wow, that was fun wasn't it!?" You ask the commenters as you down one more slice of cake that you happened to have on you. "Oh right, none of you can respond to me in story like this. Ah....... Well, ANYWAY, since Razor isn't here right now, I guess that means I gotta do this chapter on my own. Come on COMMENTERS!!!!! LETS KICK THIS CALZONE!!!!" "CUE THE MUSIC!!!!" The Music "Meh, I was expecting something more bubbly, but I guess that will do." Well you are somewhere in Ponyville 2. Make sugary sweets, preferably cupcakes. Pinkie, you are at sugercube corner baking cinnamon rolls. You hear Rarity's scream and decide to investigate. Pinkie is doing adult things in her basement. Everyone knows adult things means watching a show that gives tips on how to make parties better. Pinkie Pie: Bake cupcakes... ... Cupcakes are delicious. Well of course you would be in Ponyville in the privacy of your own apartment in Sugarcube corner doing adult things.... and of course, like any adult would do, you are busy making cupcakes BECAUSE WHY NOT!!!??? OOh, and a cinnamon roll for Razor. He was kind enough to give you your own chapter, even if he did flake out on you at the last minute, you still got a chapter ALL to yourself. Actually, you should be thanking him more for this, since now you have totally free reign to do whatever you want in YOUR OWN CHAPTER!!!! How you manage to bake both cupcakes and a cinnamon roll in one oven is a secret that only you know, and when the time comes you just may reveal that secret TO THE WORLD!!!! Maybe after you decide to STOP USING CAPSLOCK IN THE NARRATION BECAUSE THAT IS ALSO SOMETHING YOU CAN DO!!!! Decipher Jason's code. While you are waiting for the cupcakes and cinnamon roll like a hawk (which all you need to do for that is watch the oven without LOOKING AWAY until they are done. You cannot look away... not at all), you decide to try and decipher what Jason said in Latin in the previous chapter. Also be able to understand Latin for the sake of plot convenience. Which is easy for you because you can understand Latin. Why... just cause, okay. It's not like there is really much to tell about that though. He was just screaming for the abominable creatures that make up The Plush to die and return to the abyss from whence they came, also he was shouting for his great grandfather Francis, so really, nothing that worth mentioning. It was pretty much gibberish basically. You suppose a good english equivalent would look like this. "DIE! DIE! DIE MONSTER!!!! GO BACK TO THE ABYSS THAT SPAWNED YOU!!! JUST DIE!!! GRANDPA!!!!" Yeah, that is pretty much it. YOUR PINKIE SENSE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED!!! Suddenly, YOUR PINKIE SENSE KICK IN!!! And the sense in particular that kicked in right at this amoment (oh, and Kiro that is not an error, oh, speaking of which) "Hi Kiro! Do a good job on editing for this chapter. Your work is always appreciated. OOH, and I'll make you a cinnamon roll too after Razor's is done as a thank you for all your hard work." Anyway, your nose smells something good and pastry like, which means that YOUR CUPCAKES AND CINNAMON ROLL ARE READY!!! And the sound that sounds like Rarity screaming combined with the buzz from your kitchen pink egg timer (not trademarked) confirms it for you. Pinkie, you must dance the irish jig whilst holding a mug of frothy cider! The Gods of randomness demand it!!! "THEY'RE DONE!!!" You shout in triumph while you stretch out both your hooves and pull out a green bowler hat with your left hoof, and a mug of frothy cider with your right. You don't waste time putting on the bowler hat as you dance an irish jig in celebration of your newly created pastries.... Hmm... come to think of it, this really goes with the music you put on. Huh, maybe you did get a good song for this chapter.... or MAYBE YOUR PINKIE SENSE CHOSE THE SONG FOR YOU IN ANTICIPATION FOR THIS COMMENT!!! YES THAT IS DEFINITELY IT!!! "WOO WORLDWALKER128!!!" You shout as you raise your mug while you dance in place, all without spilling a single.... little... wittle.... drop of it. Now that takes skill. "This one is for you!" With that, you down the entire mug of cider. It only just occurs to you now that you've spent the past few moments dancing in celebration of your pastries and none actually pulling them out of the oven, so with that in mind, you ditch the mug and bowler hat and kick open your oven by gently kicking it with your rear hooves, then you take out your oven mitts and take out the cupcakes and cinnamon roll from the oven. You don't hesitate to take a good whiff of them. They smell heavenly. 3. On that note, figure out how to make a cupcake button. Like a muffin button, except with cupcakes. 4. Following the above logic, you could be able to make a party button. One press and bam! Instant party. "Ooh I'm sorry Eternal Infernape," you say to one of the commenters on the other side of the fourth wall. "But Team Four Star not only owns all rights to the muffin button, but also likeness rights to anything resembling a 'button that can generate hand,' or I guess in my case hoof, 'held pastries.' So I'm sorry, I just can't do it. I know how to make a cupcake button, believe me I do, but I just can't do it lest I get sued by Team Four Star." You feel yourself get a little sad at that. There are some things you just wish you could fix with hugs, but hey, some things can't. It also didn't really help matters when Derpy got ahold of the Muffin Button a few months back. "However," you say with your usual happy, chipperness back. "I do have a party button. It's my Party CANON! What? What did you think I used it for?" After storing those and thinking about how you can possibly make a cuckoo clock even more hilarious than it already is, you realize that your knee has been Pinchy for awhile. That means something scary has been happening for a good 30 minutes, but what is it? You decide to ask everypony in your sight if they've seen anything scary recently, except for those ponies exiting Twilight's House with Zecora. Your right eye begins twitching, meaning that their destiny lies elsewhere, best not to bother them. As you keep talking past the fourth wall while staring at your newly baked pastries, you notice that your knee has been pinchy for the past while, pretty much the whole time you were staring at your oven like a hawk. You noticed it when you used the first part of BrownDog77's comment, but you ignored it for then. You, being you of course, knew perfectly well what it was, and you had completely confidence in Rainbow Dash's ability to get Jason to the hospital. What? It only makes sense that with a cry for help of that magnitude, Rainbow Dash would have have heard it, and if she would have heard it, then she would be on it faster than a pony who could teleport (aka YOU) and if she was on it, then that means that the problem would be solved. You had complete confidence in your friends to get Jason where he needed to be, and there was nothing more you could have done that they were already doing, at least then. However, now that a few moments have passed, you feel as if you've been out of this a bit to long. So, with that in mind, you quickly grab the frosting that you'd made while the cupcakes and cinnamon roll were baking, and with your fourth wall defying speed, you frost all the cupcakes at once and sprinkle them. What? No CUPCAKES ARE COMPLETE WITHOUT SPRINKLES!!!! After that, you quickly grab some glaze for the cinnamon roll and gently pour some of it on. After that, you quickly scribble out a note that reads "For Razor Bazer. Don't eat it all at once. " Then you fold it up and set it in front of the cinnamon roll. Knowing Razor Bazer, it will be all gone by the time you get back, but that is just him. You have your ways and he has his. But anyway that is BESIDE THE POINT RIGHT NOW!!! Since a normal exit out of Sugarcube corner would not be good enough for you right now, as you are not feeling it, you open up your window and get a breath of fresh air. "Bye, Gummy!" you shout to your PET ALLIGATOR in the other room. "Don't eat all the cupcakes while I'm gone!" You know he won't, but it never hurts to be prepared. You've decided to leave the Cupcakes here for now. You don't need them right this second after all. 5. Something else related to the story. Something small, yet important. "Oh believe me Eternal I have. Hehe," you say to Eternal Infernape right as you leap out the window, somehow go straight up, spin around in a complete backflip, close the window as you fall back down, and then keep spinning and spinning until you land on the ground while striking and EPIC POSE!!! That was a pretty badass landing if you do say so yourself. As you land, you look off down the road and see the four stallions you saw before and Zecora coming out from the direction of Twilight's library. They're all staring at you for some odd reason, and that yellow one has a pretty serious (if not confused) look on his face for some reason. Your right eye begins to get twitchy as you see them, and almost as soon as it happens they are on their way. You decide not to bother them for now, their destiny lies elsewhere. As you tear your attention away from the five of them, you look around and notice practically every stallion within eyeshot of sugarcube corner staring at you for some reason. They all look equally confused, and as are you, it seems as if most if not all (you know Big Macintosh is missing) of the stallions in town are here right now. PAAAAARRRRTTTYYYYYYYYYY AT THE HOSPITAL! Jason is there and he is hurt. First you need to find out where you are though. start to speak "Hello stallions, look at your mare, now back to me, now back to your mares, now back to me. Sadly she isn't me, but if they stop using dragon scented body wash and switched to apple spice she could smell like she's me. Look down back up. Where are you? You are on a boat with the mare your mare could smell like. (You are now standing on a boat. It appears to be on an ocean of some sort. Not close enough, keep going) What's in your hoof, back up. I have it. It's an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again. The tickets are now diamonds. Anything can happen when your mare smells like apple spice and not a dragon. I'm on a horse." You are now sitting on Rarity's back. Rarity: What in the name of lederhosen are you doing on my back and how did you even get there? Pinkie: Not important, where is Jason? THEY ARE ALL STARING AT YOU. You know what you must do. You stay still for a moment and keep your pose, while at the same time, slowly changing the look on your face from a simple, happy smile, to a downright sultry smile... slowly... you're changing it. You have to channel a bit of Rarity to get the right amount of sultriness, but after a few moments, you get it. "Hello stallions," you say to all of them in particular. "Look at your mare, now back to me, now back at your mare, now back to me," you say as you with your teleportation ability bounce back and forth between them, getting as close to them, and their mares, as you can without it being too creepy. "Sadly, she isn't me, but if she stopped using dragon scented body wash and switched to Apple Spice she could smell like she's me," it's true. You do use Apple Spice. "Look down, back up. Where are you? You're on a boat," you say as you're suddenly on a boat with a random stallion who you happen to know is single. "With the mare your mare could smell like. What's in your hoof, back up. I have it. It's a cupcake with two tickets to that thing you have to see," suddenly the stallion is even more confused than ever, partially because he is back in Ponyville while you are now on a beach. "Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your mare smells like Apple Spice and not a dragon. I'm on a horse." "WHAT IN THE NAME OF LEDERHOSEN ARE YOU DOING ON MY BACK AND HOW DID YOU GET HERE!?" Rarity asks you as she steps out of the washroom at the hospital, with you on your back. "Not important!" You say as you hop off of her back and land in front of her. "Where is Jason, is he okay!?" Okay, now it's time to be worried. Burst into the hospital after hearing rarity scream and try to information from your friends. After that, try to convince fluttershy to let you make some 'special' cookies to help calm everyone down, mostly rarity, she's kinda flipping out a little. If she says no, make cookies anyway, cause who didn't like cookies, right? (finally, I have a chance for some input! I've been late every other time. You do great work by the way! Keep it up!) Do something near da hospital and hear a loud noise from there. Go investigate. Find out about Jason. Think about getting a Dr. McNinja to help out. ...Wait what. Anyway, try to help and stuff. Prepare for a party. A party that falls within the scenario of a "Get Well Soon" Party with a small pinch of "Hope This Traumatic Experience Doesn't Effect You For the Rest of Your Life" party. "It's investigation time! Stop or I'll pop a cap in ya!" Oh, you definitely plan to do ALL of that (especially yours KenSES64... hehe) as soon as you find out if Jason is okay, and you'll DEFINITELY throw him that "HOPE THIS TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE DOESN'T EFFECT YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!" party once he gets up... if he get's up.... okay, you know he is going to get up for the sake of the story BUT STILL IT DOESN'T HURT TO ADD SUSPENSE DOES IT!? Tartaus, that is why you made the cupcakes. You made them for Jason for when he wakes up. What did you think you were making him for? But yes, you are in the hospital now, and there is nothing you can do cause all the doctors are working on him now. All you can do now is wait... wait with the rest of your friends.... wait and hope he pulls through.... You know how will YOU JUST KNOW IT CELESTIA DAMN IT!!!! "COME ON JASON YOU BETTER PULL THROUGH!?" You shout towards the ceiling, only to have everypony in the hospital start staring at you. "What, he's our friend, he better." You say to all of them. -Side Story- PERSPECTIVE SHIFT: Multiple Characters Nana and the Hacking AI (3 Things: One: Yes, a perspective shift to multiple characters can happen. Two: Yes, a perspective shift to characters in the side story can happen as well. Writers of the side story, be prepared at a moments notice for when this happens. For you readers, don't worry, if there is a perspective shift to the side story, it will always happen first before the other side story stuff happens. So yeah, it's not like you will miss it accidently. Three: Originally I wasn't going to do this, but then I thought about it for a moment and though "Ah f*ck it, why not, let's just see where it goes, and what better time to do this than now since we are in a Pinkie Pie chapter and are doing things out of the ordinary already. So yeah, here we are. -The Dalek Flagship The Caesar- The Control Room AI's install StarCraft 2 and load it up. To increase the ability, they instantly remaster the maps for unlimited resources and remove the unit cap, making the maps bigger as well. Nana: are you ready? HAI: Oh yes. Wait a second. Nana: What are you- HAI2: Hi, I have been copied for the duration of the game. My task is to be a commentator for the crew of the ship. Nana: will you show me how to do that at some point? HAI: Ok Screens flicker on, the tactical display at the center of the room shows a scale 3d model of the map. The entire crew of the ship that isn't on the bright gather in the mess hall where HAI2 is currently showing a 3d model of the map using the ceiling as the ground. Nana(her voice being broadcast throughout the ship): Ready? HAI: yes. Lets do this. *Both Nana and the Hacking AI install Starcraft 2 in a matter of moments and load it up even quicker. To increase their abilities, they both instantly remaster the maps for unlimited resources and remove the unit cap, and they also make the maps bigger as well to hold more units. The hackers watching them are simply amazed that they can hack the game to this degree, especially Nana since she's never seen this game. After quickly setting up a game, they both choose their races. Hacking AI: Terrans, color green Nana: Protoss, color orange The start button has yet to be pushed.* Nana: Are you ready? Hacking AI: Oh, yes, one second. N: What are you- Hacking AI 2: I've been copied for the duration of the game. My task is to be a commentator for everyone watching us. N: You can... copy yourself? HAI: Yep. Comes in handy when I have to access multiple interfaces. You can only imagine the things I can do with this. N: Imagine.... (starts imagining it) I... I I I I I I.... (starts stuttering nervously) HAI: Nana, are you blushing- N: I AM FEELING ALL RIGHT! I AM AN AI, I DO NOT FEEL ANYTHING FOR I DO NOT HAVE EMOTIONS TO FEEL THEM! HAI: All right fine, I didn't mean to bite your CPU off. Hacker 3: (whispers to Hacker 4) Was Nana programmed with emotions? Hacker 4: (whispers back) What makes you think I'd know? H3: Come on you don't notice the way she's acting around him. Even when he mentioned how he can duplicate himself. COME ON YOU HAD TO HAVE NOTICED THAT!? (while still whispering) H4: Yeah, of course I noticed that, but how am I supposed to know what her programming is. The only ones who would possibly know that are the guys.... ponies from the AIA. They're the ones that made her. H3: Right... Maybe we should take to them about this later. H4: Yeah, I agree. This is getting kind of creepy. HAI: So, you ready to go? N: Yes, lets do it! HAI: All right. *BRP enters the room, Registered Anonymous is nowhere to be seen, which is surprising cause everyone thought he was with him.* BRP: Ah, I was wondering what you were doing (talking to the Hacking AI). You've been quiet for a while. Listen, you think you can- *Walks past the crowd to see the screens. The clock on the game hits zero and the game begins. BRP: Oh shit. N: Let's go. HAI: Let's go. Nana and the Hacking AI, you are currently facing each other off in a friendly game of Starcraft 2. What do you do? Next Chapter: AI COMBAT!!!!! Nana vs Hacking AI (Yes, for the next chapter, you will be taking command of either the AI Nana (Protoss), or BRP's Hacking AI (Terran) (or both) and help one of them beat the other in a game of Starcraft. This is a special bonus chapter for you all, but mostly cause some of you aren't really appreciating the side story as much as you should. Come on give it a go Pinkie Pie will be happy if you do. But yeah, Nana or the Hacking AI, who wins. Your move, you decide.) The Bridge *Swimming Dalek and Dalek Antares are on the bridge watching the monitors. Swimming Dalek: You know, the Orz have been strangely quiet for a while. I wonder what they're up to. Antares: Our readings show that they are still doing something with the destroyed Dalek ship. SD: Does this affect us in any way? A: No. SD: All right then. If they're not bothering us then that's fine by me. Still, they haven't even tried to make contact with us since the battle earlier. I wonder what they- *All the screens change to the Starcraft 2 match between Nana and the Hacking AI.* SD: Woah. -Somewhere between Appaloosa and Ponyville- In the train that leads to Ponyville. It was getting close to dusk, and the two agents are bored. On the floor, is Brauburn and Little Strongheart laying on their backs with their legs up in the air. Their expressions are comparable to a goat that just chews grass... soullessly. A board, chess pieces, and a flipped table littered with them. Braeburn: Ah knew you would break soon enough. Strongheart: Well what do you expect? It has already been over 500 games! Braeburn: Ya bothered to count? Ah'd rather count sheep! And good timing that night is about to come; sleepin' kills time and we will arrive by morning. Ya tired? LS: We had barely done anything, and yet I am. Why does the wait has to be so painful? Braeburn: And now ya understand why Ah hate trains. Here, time slows. Not a place for a pony like me. Ya know, Ah wonder how home base is faring. Probably some random explosions that we all know and love. Think they're gonna go above "Class D of Damage"? LS: Your teasing to make me feel like I should regret taking this mission, aren't you? Brauburn: Hey, you're already feelin' it. LS: Figures. (This happens pretty much as described) -Meanwhile, somewhere outside the story- *RazortheAwesome's eyes suddenly snap back open as he remembers something he forgot to do today.* Raz: F***!!!! IT'S MONDAY! I FORGOT TO- *Turns on computer, sees that Wake up. See this. What do? has already been updated.* Raz: ... ... ... ... .. .... ... .. .. ... ... ... ... (With enough force to shake the ENTIRE Cosmos) PINKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
