Total Eclipse

The Gift of Family

"Look Twilight, I know you're trying to help, and don't get me wrong, this is awesome, but how is this going to work?" I ask, pointing at the mustache Twilight put on my face. The worst part of it all was that the mustache kept it's cartoony look, making it look even more.ridiculous, and yes, everybody was laughing.

"Well,(giggle) I'm sorry, but that's the best I can do. We're going to have to find another way to disguise you."

"Simple." I say as I pull my hoodie over my head, thank goodness I decided to bring it with me! "Ta-da! It might not be the best method, but it's all we got!"

"Or we could just do that! Anyways Hector, where is the next element!

"It's at...some girls party. Pretty weird for the element of kindness, you would think that would be for Pinkie!"

"Ohh! Did I hear party!" Pinkie said enthusiastically

"Yes, but we're not there for the party. We just get in, get the element, and get out, especially now that I have a huge bounty on my head."

"Okay, let's do this!"

***

At first I thought that this was going to be easy, it was a little girls party after all. And of course that's when I get proven wrong. The "little girl" was celebrating her 16th birthday, and of course her fabulously rich parents are giving her an outside party! Just perfect At least entering was easier than I thought it would be, the doors were wide open. Apparently this party was an open invitation!

"Oh my, this place is...it's huge." I hear Fluttershy say to herself.

"Just what I was afraid of," Twilight responded, "it's only going to make it harder to find the element."

Ironically enough, as soon as Twilight finished saying that, I found Fluttershy's element! It was resting on top of a pillow by a table nearby. I would have rushed out to grab it, but there were so many people that by the tine I reached it, a guy, probably working for the party, took it and put it inside a box, then walked off

"Dang it! I can't see him! Where did he take it!" I say as I get quite frustrated.

"Well, you could just ask." Fluttershy said very inaudibly.

Barely managing to hear Fluttershy, I realized that that actually wasn't a bad idea. Thanking Fluttershy, I try to find something that connected the guy and everyone else here, and I found it, they were all wearing the same uniform, so I asked. I found out that the, "necklace" was going to be the big surprise gift for Crassa, the birthday girl. Seriously, these names were getting weirder and weirder! Before I could ask where it was, the guy went off to do something else.

Wandering through the masses of people wasn't easy, especially when you have six ponies to attend to who nobody else but you can see. So of course I bumped into some people. It just so happened that I bumped into Crassa.

"OMG! WHY DID YOU BUMP INTO ME! Do you not, like, have anything else better to do than crash my party with your ugly face, just leave me alone!"

As to further emphasize her new-found hatred for me, she shoved me out of her way, and stomped my foot, talk about being a party monster!

"I already don't like this girl." Rainbow Dash stated

"You and me both Dash."

I figured, since the element was a "present" for the all-obnoxious Crassa, we find where the presents are, we find the element. I guessed that the presents would be somewhere inside, so that's the first place I looked. Problem was, the place was a mansion! Along with almost everyone in the city being here, this was going to be a long search let's just hope that we wouldn't cross paths with Crassa again.

***

Things went surprisingly smooth well, after getting Pinkie Pie away from the chocolate. By pretending that I had a gift for Crassa, I was lead into the present room, and where one problem ended, another arose."

"You've got to be kidding me! How are we going to get the element with all these boxes!!!" Rainbow Dash said.

They called it the, "present room" for a reason. This girl had A TON if presents! My best guess would probably be over 30 plus presents!

"Well, there's only one way to find it," I say, rolling up my sleeves, "lets open them all!"

Madness ensued.

Honestly, I thought Rainbow Dash was having wayyyyy too much fun for her sake. She was destroying the boxes rather than just unwrapping them. When I asked if something was upsetting her, she just replied, "Nopony is mean to my friends." And she continued to decimate every box she could lay her hooves on.

Now that I think about it, there was a lot of dust in that room, because my eyes welled up right at that moment, It wasn't my fault!

We were making excellent progress, we were down to the last five presents. As we were about to dig in, I heard In I swear the loudest I have ever heard someone shout,

"OMG! LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY GIFTS!!!"

I really wanted my fist to meet her face, unfortunately for me though, (but luckily for her,) I had the ponies right behind me, so that meeting would have to wait.

As I turned around slowly, Crassa's face went from horrified to disgusted. As she started monolouging, she came closer to me, clearly intending on pulling my hood off, not good.

"Oh my gosh, it makes perfect sense now! You're the lame loser who bumped into me! What is WRONG WITH YOU! Just because you're a no-life nerd who has nothing to do with his life dosen't mean you can ruin mine! Like OMG! You know what you are? You're a sicko,you're a loser, you're a scumbag, you're a-"

"Hey you bully, you better leave my friend alone!"

As Fluttershy said that, me and the other five had our mouths open in awe! Never in a million years would I have thought that Fluttershy would do something like this. Especially since she was under Twilight's spell, she must have somehow broken it when she confronted Crassa.

Using her wings to lift her self to see eye to eye with Crassa, Fluttershy continued,

"My friend here is one of the nicest people I know, so you have no right to judge him, especially since it was you who treated him wrongly in the first place! My element of harmony represents kindness, something you clearly lack. You are undeserving to even look at my element! Not until you learn how to be nice!"

For a while that seemed to shut Crassa up, but then she had to open her mouth.

"Oh my god! That thing is so adorable, I WANT IT!!!"

I motioned my head to give Fluttershy and the others the message to just get the boxes and go, and it seemed like they got it, for Crassa screeched, "Hey! Like, where are you going with my gifts!!! THEY'RE MINE!!!"

Pushing me to the ground, Crassa was in pursuit if the girls and her gifts. Picking my self of the ground, I start chasing Crassa.

Now I'm not sure if it was fate, destiny, or pure dumb luck, but when I managed to catch up to Crassa, she was in front of a large single sheet cake.

In my family, whenever it's someone's birthday, after they blow out their candles on the cake, we like to perform on birthday boy/girl a little something I like to call a mordida. For those of you who don't know what a mordida is, its just basically smashing their head on the cake. I thought to myself, what better gift to give to Crassa than the gift of family. I honestly think I wasn't that forceful with it. But then again, I did take a running start, leap into the air, and using both hands, slammed Crassa's face into 5 inches of cake, forcing her head all the way down. I still think it was a little weak.

After the mordida, I ran after the girls, laughing like a madman, and as I walked past the doors to the exit, Crassa's screams filled my heart to the brim with joy. (Now that I wrote that, I realize how creepy that sounded)

"Whoa, it sure seems like a riot in there. What happened?" Fluttershy questioned.

"Oh, lets just say that I gave Crassa my birthday present. And I recommend we run!
