//------------------------------// // TWILIGHT SPARKLE VS PINKIE PIE! INSANE FOR THE MEMBRANE! // Story: My Little Luchadoras // by Captain Lunar //------------------------------// Twilight and Spike were nearing Ponyville after a 6 hour train ride. Twilight was a little less enthusiastic than Spike was about the whole thing. After all, she could be using this time to practice her moves, not manage a bunch of Luchadores who were probably not all that great anyway. After all, just because they were big stuff in their hometown doesn't mean they would last long against the personal student of Princess Celestia herself. "Alright Spike, you have the checklist for the tournament and festival?" Twilight asked as her little brother pulled out a clipboard from his backpack. "Let's see, 1: Meet with event planner for tournament and festival, 2: Meet with crowd control manager, 3: Check in with decoration department, 4: Meet with entertainment supervisor, and 5: Check in with concession and food vendor overseer" Spike read off, as Twilight nodded. "Good, the faster we get through with this the happier I'll be." The young Luchadora said, crossing her arms. "Twilight we're almost there, at lest try to look happy." Spike said, noting Twilight's sour expression. The thing about Lucha masks was they did not hide ones eyes or mouth, so your expressions were still an open book and right now Twilight's was telling a story of frustration. "Why should I be happy Spike? I could be back home, expanding my mind and honing my skills, but instead I'm stuck at some redneck town that time forgot for the next four days." Twilight said, huffing a little. "So it's four days, what's the big deal? It's not like you can't practice here and you can wrestle with other Luchadores for a change instead of just me and Princess Celestia. Who knows, you might actually win a few matches." Spike said, trying to brighten his sister's mood. "Please Spike, what could these small timers have that could challenge me? I've wrestled plenty of people, Princess Celestia herself, and did just fine you know?" The lavender masked young woman said, her tone slightly haughty. "Twi, the only people you've wrestled are me and that's never really serious, Shining Armor and Cadence, and Princess Celestia who can pretty much clean the mat with anybody." The dragon themed boy said as the train stopped and he left their car, leaving a stunned Twilight Sparkle. Twilight recomposed herself and rushed after him. "I've beaten Shining Armor quite a few times and you know it, Cadence too! I even managed to pin the Princess once!" Twilight argued back at Spike who just gave her a look. "You do know she let you do that right? To make you feel good? Sorry Twilight you gotta face facts, you've never had a serious match in your entire life." Spike said as they entered the town, carrying both his and Twilight's suitcases. "Spike I could beat anyone from this backwater town in the ring! I could even beat... Her!" Twilight claimed, her voice filled with a bit of anger and but mostly confidence, looking around and spotting a young woman who looked about her age. She had a head of hot pink puffy hair and wore a bright pink mask with a symbol that had three balloons of yellow and blue on it, the sides of her mask near her mouth having yellow stripes that went up to her ears to give the impression she had a large smile on her face. She also wore a simple pink tank-top with a large yellow smiley face on it, and a short cheerleader-like skirt that had the same balloon symbol on her mask circling all around it. "Hey you!" Twilight called out as she marched over to the other girl, this being one of the few times she didn't think something to death before doing actually doing it. Spike knew from vast experience things never turned out well for Twilight when she didn't think. Granted sometimes thinking didn't always help much either, but 9 times out of 10 she avoided massive humiliation that way. "You're a Luchadora from around here right?" Twilight asked, crossing her arms across her chest. The pink clad girl just smiled, the design of her mask making it look inhumanly wide, and giggled. "Sure am! I'm..." The girl answered in a chipper tone as she tried to introduce herself, but Twilight cut her off. "Yes, yes, you're the best in town, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I challenge you to a match." The star masked girl said, living little room for arguments. "Okie-dokie-lokie! Sounds super fun!" The cotton candy haired girl said with a squee as she ran off into some nearby bushes. "Wait come back!" Twilight called as she started to run after the girl, but stopped when she say her running back with a bunch of poles and ropes in her arms. "I always keep a ring set stashed around town, in case of wrestling emergencies." The pink clad girl said as she shoved the poles into the ground and set up a makeshift ring right in town square. A crowd gathered, a large number of them other luchadores, as they got ready to watch the match. A walleyed blond woman with a muffin shaped mask entered the ring, quickly putting on a black and white striped vest over her all grey leotard which had a the image of several bubbles on her thighs. "Luchadores ready?!" The muffin masked woman asked, both eyes somehow fixed on both wrestlers. Seeing a vigorous nod from the pink clad girl and a slow, somewhat confused, nod from the purple clad one. "LUCHARAN!" The muffin woman shouted as Twilight took that as the cue to rush her opponent and try to perform a bear hug. However this was easier said than done as her opponent kept bouncing all over the ring, smiling widely. Each time Twilight got close her opponent would hop out of the way like a rabbit with springs on her feet. Twilight then tried to change tactics, launching herself backwards into the ropes and trying to perform a clothesline attack, but her opponent dropped to the ground and quickly grabbed hold of both Twilight's legs. However, instead of capitalizing on this accomplishment by trying to make Twilight fall over, her opponent just laid there holding her legs, laughing. "Hey, let go!" Twilight said, trying to pry the other girl from her legs. "Okay, if you say so!" The pink menace said, glee evident in her voice, as she let the still struggling Twilight go, who ended up tumbling into the ropes and getting tangled. Quickly freeing herself, Twilight looked up to see her opponent standing next to her, leaning on the ropes casually. "You okay? That looked kinda like it hurt." The pink clad loony said as Twilight managed to maneuver around her and get her in a headlock, forcing her to the ground. "Okay, now I just got to..." Twilight said, thinking out her next moves with careful consideration. However her opponent managed to wrap her legs around Twilight's waist in a vice-like grip. She then, somehow defying all known laws of motion Twilight knew about, pulled Twilight forward and onto her back. Twilight was so stunned she released her headlock without thinking. The only thing she knew was her opponent was going to try and pin her so she had to be ready. However she no longer felt the weight of the other girl on her, looking to see she was indeed no longer on top of her. She looked up to see her opponent was in one corner of the ring talking on her cellphone. "Don't worry Mrs. Cake, I'll make sure that birthday cake is delivered on time. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." She said, making some random motions before touching her open hand to her closed eye. "Would you please take this seriously?!" Twilight snapped, glaring intently at the pink haired girl. "Shush! I'm on the phone! I gotta call you back Mrs. Cake, I've got an Antsy Nancy here, see ya later!" The girl said as she hung up, looking at Twilight with a kind smile. "Now what is it you wanted?" The girl asked, causing Twilight to rush toward her. However the girl bounced out of the way as Twilight ran straight into a pole with a loud smack. "Oh! If you didn't want to play around all you had to was say so you Silly Billy!" The pink haired girl said as she leaped backwards into the ropes and pulled herself back as far as she could. Twilight, who had just gotten up, heard her shout something. "PARTY CANNONBALL!" The pink lunatic shouted as she shot off the ropes like a rocket, streamers and confetti flying everywhere as she barreled into Twilight, bouncing her all over the ring in the process and eventually knocking her onto her back. The pink haired girl then hopped onto the dazed Twilight Sparkle as she pinned her shoulders down. "UNO! DOS! TRES!" The muffin masked referee counted off as she rang a small bell, signaling the end of the match. Twilight slowly got up, still groggy and wobbling a little, as her opponent bounced up to her. "That was super duper fun! My name's Pinkie Pie what's yours?" Pinkie Pie asked, but Twilight was still too dazed to respond. "Well, I'm sure I'll see ya later so you can tell me your name then. Anyway, I gotta go, there's a festival I got to put the finishing touches on and I gotta get the banner set up for the Lucha Tournament. You should enter, you're pretty good." Pinkie said all in one breath as she skipped off into the town. "Spike? Wha happened?" Twilight slurred slightly, coming to her senses. "Well, you met the event planner and things seem to be going good on that end." The dragon boy said as he checked off meeting with the event planner and then helped his sister walk to the Arena Hotel. "Also you kinda got your butt handed to you in a Lucha match." Spike said casually as Twilight barely registered his words.
