//------------------------------// // Dance baby dance // Story: The Lightning Seven: Equestria Bound *Old story* // by Barracuda cyborg //------------------------------// It was once an average day within the gangs base Dice was meditating and the others were just talking to each other "Guys I got great news" Pinkie said rushing into the gangs base. "What is it pinkie?" Razor asked the party mare. "Twilight told me that some ambassadors from Saddle Arabia are coming for a political meeting and they wanted Ponyville to throw a 'Welcoming party', and she put me in charge of the decorations." she said jumping up and down with glee. "Not to be rude but how does this affect us?"Razor then asked. "She wanted you guys to perform a song and dance for them." pinkie said. "Does she have any sheets for us to practice it? Slash asked. "Sure here ya go!" she said handing them a couple pages of dance routines. "Alright time for my greatest enemy.... DANCING!" Scalor said squinting his eyes. He truly want the best dancer in the world, when everyone else went and cut a rug he just stood near the punch bowl. "Hey guys I got your stage set up and the decorations look fantastic." AJ said as she put various foods on the table. "how are you guys doing?" "Were fine it's just scalor is slowing our progress!" Razor said being irritated from her friend. "Sorry I have two left feet." Scalor said trying to pull off some simple steps "Arrgh from the top buddy" Outlook said as he pulled up his cyborg companion -eventually after hours and hours of practicing and will breaking dance routine failures- "Okay guys I'm ready" Scalor said proud of himself thinking he was ready for the welcoming. "You're dressed up wrong" Outlook face palmed. Knowing he was dealing with a complete moron. "Why what do I look like?" Scalor asked thinking he looked completely fine. "A 70's disco dancer." Outlook said flatly knowing his pal meant well, but he looked completely stupid. "Speak for your self you look like a country rock star." fish-bot replied as Outlook touched his ten gallon hat thinking he looked cooler than him. "Lets get the outfits right before they get here." Slash said as he got out of his tuxedo thinking he too looked kind of silly. the day of the welcoming party It was around noon and the ambassadors were commuting with each other while waiting for the show."Welcome ambassadors we say hello to you all by treating you to a traditional song and dance of your culture." Twilight said welcoming the Saddle Arabians. "Ready guys?" Kooker said feeling very happily. He always love to dance. Out of all of the members of the group he loved dancing the most. "Ready, I..2..3!" Scalor said as he played the tape cassette. Watch the link before reading the rest of the chapter please, thanks "That was so amazing my friends here take this as a token of our appreciation for your magnificent performance." The male ambassador said clapping his hooves with glee and throwing a large bag of bits towards the gang. "Why thank you sir for the generous amount of money you have bestowed upon us. We welcome you to this fair land." Dice said bowing showing respect towards others higher in power than him. "Hey are ya guys gonna help me with moving my novelty sized didgeridoo or not." Scalor said holding the large Australian instrument while wearing an Australia hat and a fisherman's vest. "Where did you even get that?" Circuit said in confusion knowing his pal meant well but sometimes he could be a complete weirdo sometimes. Just a couple weeks ago he had a sombrero when he went to the artic lands looking for a tasty taco. Another time was when he wore an parka in the desert looking for fish. C.B never knew why Scalor did these random things he just did it. "it doesn't matter now, how much did we get?" he asked as he threw away the instrument like it was a banana peel. Scalor did this sort of random thing from time to time just because he could. His pals were just glad that nothing was behind him. "Holy crap we reached our goal." The mole said as he went over the numbers a couple of times. he could never believe that they reached their goal of two thousand bits, but they did reach it. "All we have to do is just send the order in and I'll have the supplies to build the rest of the portal generator." he then said writing a order form for iron girders, wires and a 100 watt light bulb. "What part did we have with us to begin with anyway?" Slash asked. "Just the destination setter." the mole said as he pulled out the device. "Well all we need to do is wait a couple of days for the stuff to arrive." with that being said he had almost nothing good to think of to do. "Well come on guys we got some time to burn." Scalor said as he pulled a box saying 'hungry hungry hippos'. "I call dibs on the green one." "Hey that's not fair I wanted the green one!" Slash said as green was his favorite color. "I'll take the pink one I guess." Razor said as she shuddered thinking of using that type of color to hippo as her playing piece. The rest of the day went on for about two hours about who got which color. Eventually they decided to go on a little hike for the rest of the day.
