Canterlot Train Station...
The train arrived directly on schedule. As Jordan and Jake prepared to leave their cabin to head to the terminal, Rainbow Dash and Twilight opened their cabin door.
Twilight was first to speak. "Jake, Me and Rainbow are going to go look around town after we fill out the reservation for all of us. Is that okay?" Jake nodded to her, and before Rainbow could tell the same thing to Jordan, he had already nodded. "Twilight continued. "Okay, then, we will come get you two when it is near time to eat." Twilight and Rainbow Dash then disembarked from the train, folllowed by Jake and Jordan.
"Okay, so what should we do?" Jake asked his pegasus friend. Jordan pondered his question, before replying.
"We should look around also. We don't really know the way around town as of yet." Jordan replied. Jake agreed and they went in any direction.
Twilight and Rainbow Dash arrived at the restaurant they would be eating at. They trotted up to the podium.
"What can I do for you two today?" the stallion asked with a slightly fancy tone.
Twilight responded. "We're here to place reservations for four tonight." The stallion pulled out a notepad listing all various times and dates. He found today's date, and noticed an opening at 7.
"Good, now that will be 50 bits to place the reservation." Twilight and Rainbow pooled their bits, and they were off to explore the town.
Meanwhile...
Jordan and Jake were just nonchalantly strolling through the Canterlot streets.
Jordan just examined the high class ponies around town. "Man, these ponies do know how to dress. We definitely would not blend in." Jordan stated, making Jake chuckle a bit at his joke. They then passed by a joke store. "Uncle Punny's Pranks and Gadgets. What's a Joke store doing in a town like this?" Jordan asked with a quizzical smile.
"I don't know, but with the bits Rainbow and Twi' gave us, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Jake asked with an evil grin.
"That we buy some joke gadgets and prank unsuspecting ponies?" Jake responded.
"Oh yeah." Jake stated back. They trotted into the joke store, ready to get anything and everything they need for a good time.
Back to Twilight and Rainbow...
Both Twilight and Rainbow looked though the store windows with great interest. Twilight was wondering what to get for Jake, while Rainbow wanted to get something to impress Jordan. Twilight picked out a stylized compass, which allowed an engraving.
"Wait here Rainbow." Twilight asked Rainbow Dash. She trotted inside the store. 7 minutes later, she trotted back out, compass in tow. She opened it to reveal an etching that read:
Twilight and Jake forever <3
They continued along until they came upon a clothing shop. Rainbow noticed a pair of Wonderbolts costumes were on sale, only two. She bolted into the store, eager to get them. 5 minutes later, she dashed back out, with tthe costumes with her.
"Jordan is going to love his costume!" Rainbow cooed. Twilight just rooled her eyes, and they continued through the town.
On the other side of town...
Jordan had just placed temporary glue on a chair at a cafe table. He went to join Jake behind a stand.
"Oh my gosh, this is going to be rad." he cooed. Jake then pointed out that somepony was approaching the table. When the pony got on the chair, the two pranksters just waited in the shadows. Then it happened. When the pony tried to get up, he found himself stuck. Jake just looked at Jordan.
"Don't worry, the glue lasts for only 3 minutes." Jordan said. After 3 minutes of silent laughter, the pranked pony was freed from his chair, mystified at what happened. He shrugged himself off and walked away. Jordan and Jake went into a laughing fit.
"Did you see his reaction? That was priceless!" Jordan announced. Jake then had a better idea.
"I have an idea. Wait here." He trotted off to a deli, and got a bottle of their spiciest hot sauce. He then approached another table that had a daffodil sandwich on it. He did not see anyone looking, so he went for it. He took the top slice of bread off the sandwich, opened the bottle of hot sauce, and poured some onto the sandwich. He then nonchalantly placed the top back on, and escaped in time. They ducked behind the same stand they were behind. They heard a shriek of burning pain, and then anger. Jake then peeked his head over the side of the stand, and then stumbled backward.
Jordan was on the verge of laughing, stifling giggles. "Wh-what happened? heh." He asked, nearly failing not to laugh. Jake just sat staring into space. He then managed to say what he was thinking rapidly.
"W-we p-p-pranked C-C-Celestia by m-mistake." Jake stammered. Jordan then looked over as well, and hid once again, hoping she didn't see them.
"Oh, dis is bad." Jordan said, inpersonating the Heavy Weapons Guy from Team Fortress 2. They bolted from their hiding spot, hoping she didn't know it was them, unfortunately, she appeared right in front of them.
"Jeez, I wish we expected that." Jake said, earning a look from Jordan. Celestia demanded an explanation.
"Why did you two pour hot sauce in my sandwich?" She demanded. The two stallions, now quivering with a touch of fear, tried to say something. Jordan finally broke the silence.
"W-we got b-bored, so w-we p-pulled pranks o-on unsuspecting p-ponies." Jordan stuttered. Celestia then cooled down enough to put a bit of a smile on her face.
"Pranks? Well I see you were taking lessons from Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, hm?" Celestia asked, making Jordan and Jake look curiously. Celestia explained.
"You see, those two seem to be the most prank happy in Equestria, though sometimes their pranking goes a bit too far. They made Spike accidentally send me a chariot-full of letters to me. It took me a while to sort them back out and send them back." Jordan and Jake juat looked puzzled, but shook it off. Celestia was about to leave, but she had one more thing to add.
"By the way, I hope you two like Rainbow Dash and Twilight." She then teleported away. The two stunned bronies now stared at each other in disbelief. They then trotted off to pull more pranks.
5 minutes earlier...
Twilight and Rainbow Dash were still looking at shops, buying some time until the reservation opens. They turn a corner, and they see Celestia talking to two stallions, who they recognize as Jordan and Jake. They eavesdropped on their conversation.
"...took me a while to sort them back out and send them back." Celestia concluded. Twilight noticed Jake and Jordan had confused expressions. The next line they heard stunned them. "By the way, I hope you two like Rainbow Dash and Twilight." Hearing this made Twilight' and Rainbow's jaws drop. They shook it off, and tried to talk to the two bronies.
10 minutes later however, they lost sight of them.
Jordan and Jake spotted a crowded concert area. Jake had a sly grin.
"We pranking everypony here?" Jordan asked.
"Big time. Come on, help me get the water into the buckets." Jake replied.
20 minutes later they had everything set up, unbeknownst to the potential prank victims in the crowded concert zone. Jake readied the rope.
"When I give the signal, pull." Jordan told his friend at the rope.
"Got it." Jake replied. They waited for the solo part of their song.
"NOW!" Jordan hollered out. Suddenly, 25 gallons of water rained down on the concertgoers. Everypony was running around screaming and slipping on the slick ground. Jordan and Jake ran to a hiding spot, and laughed hysterically.
"Oh man did you see that?!" Jake yelled out. "That was epic!"
"It was Jake, it was!" Jordan replied. They were about to walk to their next victim when suddenly, a rainbow blur blocked their path. Jordan could only guess who it was.
"Hi RD." He stated.
"Hey Jordan. I've got something to ask. What did you talk with Celestia about earlier?" She asked. Jordan replied with a simple "nothing", but Rainbow didn't buy it.
"Jordan, I know she said something about knowing me and you love each other." She added. Jordan then bluffed.
"Oh right! Me and Jake were talking to her about that-" He was cut off by Rainbow Dash continuing.
"...and something about what happened to Spike when me and Pinkie pranked him." She concluded. Jordan couldn't deny it any longer after that.
"Okay, you caught us. We were pulling pranks and we ended up pranking Celestia by mistake." Rainbow looked at them, concerned, not just for what happened, but for if Twilight found out.
"Jordan, I promise not to tell Twilight, but you need to know something." She stated. Jordan nodded, and leaned closer. She whispered in his ear, "I got something for you."
Jordan pulled away, and Rainbow held out the Wonderbolts costume. She let him take it in his hooves, and he smiled to her. "T-this is...for me?"
Rainbow smiled back. "Of course. I thought you would like it now that we are official Wonderbolts." She pulled out her own costume while saying that.
Jordan put the costume on his back, and he got closer to Rainbow, and he held her in a hug. They both hugged for 5 minutes before Twilight showed up. They both separated.
"Rainbow, I see you found them." Twilight said. Everypony else smiled to her. She then trotted up to Jake. "I have something for you, Jake."
She pulled out the engraved compass, and gave it to Jake. He opened it and read the engraving.
Twilight and Jake forever <3
He started to tear up a bit. He then pulled Twilight into a hug of his own. They held each other until Rainbow intervened a few moments later.
"Umm, Twi', the reservations?" Rainbow reminded her. Twilight then remembered when they had to be here.
"We should get going, we only have 5 minutes." Twilight stated.
Everypony nodded, and they were on their way to the restaurant.
