//------------------------------// // Viva Festival // Story: Your Adventure Continues // by My Only Weakness //------------------------------// Chapter 20 It's been a month since Twilight has announced that see been given tickets to the grand galloping gala, I came a surprise to you because she even handed you a ticket. "Why I'm I here again?" you asks "Where here because we need to make you a suit for the gala" says Rarity using her magic to use a measuring you "I've made the sketch of what the suit will look what do you think" she continues The drawing was a black suit with a striped tie and meddles hanging out of the pockets of the coat. "Eh, it's alright" you say "Alright? alright?!" she says like she was affined by that comment "What do you mean it alright?!" "Well, it's missing something" you say kind of backing off a little because of the look that Rarity is giving you "And what would that be?" she asks You look around the shop looking for something that would make the suit a lot less bland. Then suddenly you see it on the top of the cabernet. A top hat. "That" you say walking over to the hat "Huh?" You pick up the hat from the cabernet and place it on your head and look over at Rarity with a slight smile. "This is what it needs" "StarGazer, that hat won't go with the suit please take it off" "Don't bother Rarity" a voice say walking though the door of the shop "Once StarGazer has set his mind on something there's no talking him out of it" "Rainbow Dash, darling!" Rarity says happily "Please tell you kept your dress from last year in fine condition" "Yes Rarity the dress is fine" Dash says rolling her eyes "Splendid" Rarity says turning back to you "Now as for you, take that hat off" Rolling your eyes to take the hat off and place it back on the cabernet. "I'll have this suit ready for your by tomorrow so come by then and we'll have a fitting" says Rarity "Alrighty then" You say walking over to Dash You and Dash walk out of Rarity's shop and walk around town. It took you just now to notice that Scootaloo isn't with Dash "Where's Scoots-me-goots?" you ask "Why do you keep making up nicknames for her?" Dash asks back "Am I not allowed to have multiple nicknames for her?" "No" she says with a slight giggle You start to pout at her, which causes her to giggle more "Alright fine. You're only aloud three nicknames for her" You smile but then realise that Dash never answered your question "Anyway where is Scootakins?" "She's over at AppleBlooms house" "Up to more shenanigans?" "Most likely" You and your marefriend continue walking thought Ponyville until you notice a crowd starts to gather near town hall, curious to see what it see what's happening you and Dash fly up into the air to get a better look. You see that Mayor Mare "Fillies and Gentle colts" she begins "As the Grand Galloping Gala is coming up is only 14 days away and we will be holding a short festival tonight" "YEAH!" you shout then covering your mouth to realise that you're the only one to cheered "That's the sprit" Mayor Mare says looking at you with a smile "The festival starts a eight o'clock" Soon everybody starts to walk away, you and Dash fly through the air over Ponyville having nothing to do. "Do you want to check up on Scootaloo?" Dash asks you "Sure" you reply and fly over the apple farm "Race you there" Dash say quickly for flying off You fly after her as fast as you can, you managed to catch up with her but you noticed the she's doing the wing tricks that you taught her. You're proud of her that she finally managed to master it, but she's not a master like you are. You past her easily but then you start to Dash trying push you out the way. You finally reach the apple farm and land with pride, Dash was only a second behind you before she landed. You look at her with a smirk and she just rolls her eyes. "What brings you two here?" a big southern accent ask, turning around you see Big Mac with a cart that he's pulling. "We're just gonna check up on Scootaloo" explains Dash "There up at their club house at the south field" says Mac "Cheers" you say before trotting to the south field As you walk past the hundreds of apple trees looking for this clubhouse that the small filly own, As you're walking Dash still thinks that this is some type of race so she tries to stay ahead of you. You finally spot the tree house of in the distance and head for it. As you reach closer and closer to the tree house you start to hear some singing. You and Dash walk up the ramp quietly to not disturb the singing. As you reach the window you take a peak to see that the cutie mark crusaders are working on their next mission to get there cutie marks... well more of AppleBloom and Scootaloo working on it, Sweetie Belle is singing. "GUESS WHO!!!" you shout jumping into the club house though the window. The little fillies up out of their fur from your loud entrance while you and Dash start to laugh loudly. "Star! don't do that!" shout the little unicorn "I'm sorry" you say trying to control your laughter "I just couldn't pass up the opportunity" "What are your two doing here anyway?" asked the little filly that you are taking care off "We just came here to see what our little Scootakins is up to" you replies with a smirk "Stop calling me that" Scootaloo complains "We were just thinkin' of different ideas to get our cutie marks" Applebloom chimes in "What ideas have you come up with?" asks Dash jumping though the window "Hopefully nothing dangerous" you add "We have" Applebloom begins grabbing a piece of paper "Apple testers, water testers, track runners, longer jumpers, cupcake testers, bread makers, fire stoppers and crime stoppers" "Most of them involved food" says Rainbow Dash "So... why are you two here again?" ask Scootaloo's "Just making sure making sure you're not getting into trouble" you answer "And to tell you three that there will be a festival held tonight" "Really?" the three fillies say at the same time "Eeyup" "What time?" asks Sweetie Belle "Eight o'clock" Dash answers "Sweet!" say Scootaloo jumping in the air with excitement "I hate this brake this coversation" a classy voice says the door You all look over to see a white unicorn and a orange earth pony. "But it's time to head home now Sweetie Belle" Rarity says, the little unicorn trots towards her big sister "See you girls tomorrow" Sweetie Belle says before trotting away with her sister "Yeah we better get going as well" says Dash. Scootaloo jumps on Dash's back and you both fly out of the window As you, your marefriend and your little ball of orange fur fly over ponyville you see that Scootaloo has her arm raised in the air. You start to smile to see that she's loves every minute of being in the air. After dinner was eaten, the dish's were washed and everyponys stomach were full you all sit on the sofa. "How long till the festival?" asks Scootaloo You look over to the clock that's placed on the wall "In a couple of minutes" you answer her question "What do you think will be at the festival?" Scootaloo says asking another question "Probably some festival games and some acts" says Dash picking at her teeth with her hoof "Were you raised in a barn? don't pick at your teeth" you says Dash stops picking her teeth and crosses her arms and looks at you with a glare. You could hear Scootaloo giggling as Dash glare at you. Suddenly some music starts playing in the distances. "The festivals starting!" Scootaloo says excitedly "You girls ready to go?" They both jump of the sofa and say "yep" You and your girls head towards the front door, as you open the door Scootaloo jumps onto Dash's back. You both spread your wings and fly over towards the music. When you land you see I bunch of tents set up with different types of activity's and food stands. As you, your rainbow mained marefriend and your little scootakins walk though the town looking at all the different booths. "This is pretty awesome" says Dash with a smile on her face "It totally is, what do you think Scoots?" you ask but you don't get a reply "Scoots?" you ask again looking around to find that the little filly isn't with you. You stop in place and spin around on the spot looking for the little orange filly. Luckily you spot her standing near a booth of what looks like a shooting game. You run over to her and stop just centimetres away which causes her to jump slightly. "Don't ever do that again" you says with a serious tone which cause her ears to flop to her head "Sorry, I just got detracted" she says Dash land next to you and looks at the booth, you look at the booth as well to see that it is a shooting game, a very bright one at that so you could see why somepony would get distracted. You look at the sign next to it to see that it's 2 bits a turn. You look down at Scootaloo again and the look on her face tell you that see wants to have a turn. You pull out 2 it and place it on the counter. "Go on Scoots, have a go" you say smiling at her Her face lights up with a smile and jumps on one of the stools and grabs the ball gun. As soon as the little target show up Scootaloo start shooting away. She manages to knock most of them down. As the game stops the stallion running the booth pulls down a wonder bolt plushie. "Way to go Scoots" Rainbow cheers Scootaloo takes the pushie and you all walk off to look around the festival when you suddenly come to a stop to see who standing on the stage. You couldn't believe your eyes, Your sister is setting up some of her instruments. When she finishes setting up she turn to the crowed a sees you and starts to wave. You wave back but then a sudden glow of light and you're on the stage "Rose Beat? what are you doing here?!" you ask "I'm performing" she says happily Dash lands next to you with Scootaloo on her back. Scootaloo jumps of her back and catches the attention of Rose Beat "Scooty!" Rose Beat chants happily "Hi Rose Beat" Scootaloo replies "Hey Beat, what brings you here?" Dash asks "I'm performing so music for the night" Rose Beat replies to the same question you ask earlier "And I need a little help for this first song" She continues look at you "Which song is it?" you ask "The first song you ever wrote" She says with a smile. Suddenly see that's playing the music which catches the attention of someponys and you have no other choice but to start singing. Ponys that were playing attention start to stamp there hoof together and you take a bow. --Couple hours later-- After Rose Beat set all her stuff away and head backstage were you, Dash and Scootaloo were waiting... well more of you and Dash, Scootaloo had fallen asleep. "She's so cute when she's sleeping" Rose Beat say looking at the sleepy filly "Yeah she is" Dash agrees "I better get going" Rose Beat says disappointedly "I'll see you soon" you say then start hugging her After exchanging goodbyes she head off to the train station while you and Dash head back home. You were carrying Scootaloo in your arms as you fly, cradling her like a foal. After landing you place Scoots on your back and let Dash open the door. You instantly head towards Scootaloo's room while head heads towards your and her's room. You gently place Scoots in her bed and pull the covers over her . She snuggles up with her wonderblot plushie that she won earlier. That sight make you smile and gentle place a kiss on her forehead. You walk out the room and close the door slowly and quietly. You head down to your room and head towards the bed. You and Dash exchange goodnight kiss and head off to sleep.
