Ben Drowned in Friendship

Random Mention of 42

It took a little bit to get to the castle, but we finally got there. The place was humongous! It covered probably half the entire town!

"This way."

We walked through the halls for what seemed like forever, until Luna stopped in front of a large pair of doors, with suns painted on each one. She quietly opened a door and poked her head in.

"Sister, are you awake?"

A more mature came from inside "Yes. Come in."

She motioned her head for me to follow her, and we both stepped in the room. There was a pony like Luna, only she was taller, she was white, and the mark on her rump was instead a sun. Oh, did I mentioned her crown was huge?

"Who is this you have brought?"

"He calls himself Ben, and from what I heard, he is a ghost of a human."

"Human?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"We hadn't any humans in Equestria in about 1042 years!"

Boom.

That's where I was.

I'm in a little show for little girls.

Freckin My Little Pony.

Wait, did she say 42?

"But you see, like she said, I'm a ghost."

She walked up to me and said "If you are a ghost, may I put my hoof through your face?"

Strange question. "Sure. Why not."

She raised a foreleg and attempted to put it through my face, put all I got was a hoof planted in my face.

...

"You lied."

"No I didn't! I swear, the way I died was that I drowned in the ocean after getting knock off the boat!"

"Then how are you solid?"

"Look, I have powers like a ghost, watch," I said as I turned into a green cloud, and back again.

"And I can do this," I said as I whisked a sugar cookie from nowhere, and began to eat it.

I said with a full mouth "Shee? I tol' you."

"Hmm... Luna, may I ask why you brought him here?"

"He had scared the entire town of Ponyville with a 'simple prank', along with the help of the Element of Laughter."

"He did?"

"Yeah... Sorry bout that."

"Hmm... perhaps he should have a second chance."

"What?"
"What?"

"Yes, a second chance. But I must put you under watch of my student, Twilight Sparkle, so you cause no more mischief."

Oh, that pony.

"Now that has been settled, I ask you to leave, for I have grown tired."

"Got it."

Second chance. Boo-yah.
