Link woke up.
Please tell me it was a dream.
The door broke open with a loud SMASH!
"Gooooooooood morning Linky Winky!" A certain pink pony announced.
Damn.
A groaning sound came from the bed across Link's.
"Oh! And good morning to you Twilight! You too Spike!"
"Pinkie Pie! Is it necessary to burst through the door early in the morning!?" Scolded Twilight.
"Well of course silly!" Pinkie replied. "We need a head start on showing Link around town!"
Pinkie Pie went over to the hero.
"C'mon Link! Up and at em'! Let me show you around Ponyville!"
Link rubbed the sleepiness out of his eyes and took another drink of Zecora's remedy. He proceeded to get out of bed and started to stretch when his eyes suddenly widened.
"Something wrong Linky?" Pinkie Pie questioned.
Link turned his head in panic towards the pink mare.
"I forgot my sword and shield at your kitchen."
The Cutie Mark Crusaders had slept early the day Link arrived to Ponyville. The reason for this was so that they can wake up earlier. The reason for that was so they can have a longer day. A longer day to them was a longer day for looking for their very own cutie marks. This also meant that they were completely unaware of Link's arrival. Their idea was to try to assist Mr. and Mrs. Cake in running the Sugarcube Corner. The three filly's walked into the bakery. Their senses were assaulted by scents of sweets and treats. They expected to see either Mr. or Mrs. Cake behind the counter, but there was no pony in sight.
"Hellooo?" Yelled Scootaloo.
"Is that you Scootaloo?" Mrs. Cake's familiar voice sounded from upstairs. "I'll be right down dear! I'm getting some supplies! Wait in the kitchen!"
"Okaaay!" Scootaloo yelled back.
The three filly's started to wander towards the kitchen.
"Let's make this day the day guys!" Said Scootaloo.
"Right, we're gonna work real hard for this, right Sweetie Belle?" Said Apple Bloom.
"Right Apple Bloom! I can't wait to-" Sweetie Belle stopped in her tracks inside the kitchen.
Her wide eyes stared at an object from across the room. The other two filly's looked confused and turned their heads in the direction she was looking. Their eyes widened too.
"Coooool..."
Link, Twilight, and Pinkie Pie ran as fast as they could.
"There!" Pinkie yelled.
Link spotted the building where Pinkie looked towards. He started running faster.
"Wow this thing is heavy!" Scootaloo said.
"Sure ish! But Thif one ain't asf heavyf!" Apple Bloom mumbled through the handle of a blade.
"Hey, I wanna hold it too!" Sweetie Belle whined.
Apple Bloom ignored her complaints and swung the blade around with her mouth clenched over the handle.
Suddenly, the blade slipped from Apple Bloom's mouth and flew towards Scootaloo, blade tip towards her.
"Watch out!" Apple Bloom yelled.
Scootaloo yelped and hid behind the shield. The blade bounced off the shield and started flying towards Sweetie Belle. With not enough time to dodge the sword, she shut her eyes in fright.
But instead of feeling pain she heard the sound of chains and a loud SHHK!
She opened her eyes to find a green creature with a long claw at the end of one of its arms. The claw was holding on to the same sword that almost hurt Sweetie Belle.
The three crusaders screamed. "MONSTER!!! AHHHHHH-"
"QUIET!"
The filly's immediately stopped screaming. They looked to where the green creature was to see Pinkie Pie and a very mad looking Twilight standing near it.
"You girls should be ashamed of yourselves! You don't touch things that are not yours! You also could've hurt yourselves too! How do you think that would've made everypony feel? You also even called somepony- I mean some individual who saved you, a monster! Apologize to Link!"
The crusaders were too shocked to say anything.
Twilight sighed and explained to them like she explained to the residents of Ponyville.
"WOW!!! SO ARE YOU LIKE AN ALIEN OR SOMETHING?" The three filly's crowded around the nervous looking Link.
"Hey!" Twilight scolded. "Apologize to Link first! And don't ask him questions that make him uncomfortable!"
The Cutie Mark Crusaders all lowered their heads and apologized.
"We're sorry."
Link smiled.
Their faces brightened up again.
"YOU'RE FROM THE EVERFREE FOREST RIGHT?" The three filly's cried altogether.
Link nodded.
"CAN YOU SHOOT LASERS OUT OF YOUR EYES?"
Twilight face hoofed.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders were fascinated with Link and wanted to be around him more. Unfortunately, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom were scolded to oblivion by Rarity and Applejack. Scootaloo was also given a hard lecture by Rainbow Dash. Even Fluttershy seemed a little angry at the crusaders, who was passing the Sugarcube Corner when the commotion started. They were all told to go and stay at their home's for the entire day. With defeated looks, they trotted out Sugarcube Corner. But before they exited the bakery, they turned around.
"Um, we'd like to ask one more thing before we go." Apple Bloom said with her head down.
"Please show us you using your sword!" They all cried in unison towards the hero in green.
Applejack replied. "Now hold on a minute-"
"Pleeeaasee?" They then proceeeded to give the most adorable faces Link has ever seen.
Not to underestimate the power of the Cutie Mark Crusaders puppy eyes, Applejack and the other Elements of Harmony relented.
Applejack sighed. "I'm sorry Link, is it okay with you?"
Link looked at the crusaders, smiled, and nodded.
"Great, thank you." Applejack said gratefully. "Okay you three can watch Link tomorrow at the farm, remember to always be respectful towards him ya' hear?"
The crusaders nodded their head rapidly with huge smiles and ran out the bakery.
"Are you sure it is okay with you Link?" Asked Rarity.
Link replied.
"It's fine. They remind me of them."
"Of who?" Pinkie asked.
"A couple kids." Link chuckled. "And a monkey."
