//------------------------------// // Prank War day 2 // Story: Foal Adventures. // by Super-Stallion //------------------------------// It was later in the afternoon nearly time for Luna to wake up and Sly had wondered out of the play room where Celestia was keeping an eye on the little ones. Really more like lured out by Philomena who had been playing with him. “Well you’re a cleaver little fox aren’t you?” Sly wagged his tail at Philomena’s complement and smiled. “Wait right here.” as his good friend flew away Sly sat happily waiting for her return and was a little surprised that she returned quickly after she left, caring a bowl of liquid in her claws, as she set it down Sly sniffed at the liquid and smiled at the sweet smell that he was picking up from it. “Don’t tell Celestia that I know where she keeps a super secret stash of sweet water.” “It smells yummy.” Sly barked as he smiled at Philomena. “It is, go ahead and drink up, it’ll give you energy for what I have in mind.” with that Sly started to lap at the liquid and before he knew it he had managed to lap it all up. “Great come on.” Sly quickly followed after Philomena until she stopped in front of Luna’s room. “OK so go inside and wake Luna up.” Sly tilted his head slightly and Philomena smiled and ruffled the fur on his head. “It’ll be alright, I’m sure she’ll be really happy when she sees you.” with that Sly walked inside and slowly made his way to Luna’s bed and clawed his way up the sheets and slowly made his way up to Luna’s face and started to lick her face. Philomena could hear the laughter from Luna as she started to wake up followed by her making cooing sounds and Sly barking happily. After a few moments Luna walked out of her room with Sly laying on her back with his tail wagging. “Good after noon everyone.” Luna walked into the playroom with a big smile on her face, this day felt like nothing could possible go wrong, but as Luna looked at her sister she could see that something was most defiantly wrong. “Gotcha.” Celestia said, as she pointed at a mirror getting Luna to look as her face covered in different colored strips. Then turned her attention to Blueblood who was laughing on the floor next to Nightmare Moon, and after a few minutes looked at Nightmare Moon with tears in his eyes and he tried to stop giggling. “My (*snicker*) my Auntie is winning.” Blueblood said, getting Nightmare Moon to shoot him a glare. “B-but how?” Luna looked at the strips and then remembered how she was woken up, and levitated Sly in front of her. “Sly say ah.” with that Sly opened his mouth and Luna looked inside and noticed that Sly’s tong was a different color. “I see.” with that Luna set Sly on the floor and patted him on the head a few times. “It’s alright you’re still a good boy, go on and play with your sister.” with that Sly ran up to Nightmare Moon, and barked happily only to get her not so happy attention. “You helped Celestia pull a prank on mommy, you a bad wittwe brother.” as Sly started to whimper away from Nightmare Moon, Luna walked up and picked the sad little fox up. “Little Moon it wasn’t Sly’s fault he didn’t know he was pulling a prank on me, you shouldn’t be so hard on him since he thinks everything of you.” Luna said, as she held Sly in her arms and tried to comfort him. “But he.” “He was an innocent by standard in the prank war, and your aunt knew that you three where supposed to be left out of it.” “That is true, but Philomena didn’t know, I’ll have a talk with her about this prank but it still counts.” “Yeah my Auntie still in the wead.” Blueblood said, as he smiled smugly at Nightmare Moon. “You brought that mischievous bird in on our war?” “Just as you brought Discord, I think we are evenly matched now.” Luna’s cheeks puffed slightly in irritation, but then turned her head away from Celestia. “Well fine, but I just don’t know how your nephew will ever be able to forgive you for letting your partner trick him into pranking me.” with that Celestia looked at Sly in her sister’s arms and could tell that he was really upset, but wasn’t sure if it was for the prank or for what Nightmare Moon had just said to him. “You’re right Luna, it is my fault for not informing Philomena about the rules, and poor little Sly has gotten into a little hot water for my mistake.” Celestia got up and walked over and leaned close to Sly who looked at her with tears in his eyes. “Can you ever forgive this silly old pony for getting you into trouble.” for a few seconds Sly didn’t do anything, but then started to lick Celestia’s face rapidly, getting her to laugh along with her sister before Celestia back up and smiled. “Alright, I understand you forgive me.” “Bark.” Luna smiled as she set Sly down on the floor and watched as he looked up at Celestia with his tail wagging, and then ran to Nightmare Moon who tried to ignore him but couldn’t as he started to force her to look towards Celestia. “I don’t want to, you helped Celestia prank Mommy, and then just forgave her, you have to do something very impressive to make up for that.” Nightmare Moon scolded “Ah,… now it tied again.” Blueblood whined, getting Nightmare moon to turn around and see that Celestia’s face now had several different brightly colored stripes, several of them criss-crossing in areas, getting Nightmare Moon to snicker before bursting out into laughter. “I don’t get it, what’s so funny.” Celestia asked, as she looked at Luna. “It seems Sly has already learned how to turn the tables.” Luna explained, getting Celestia to levitate a mirror to her, getting a good look at her face Celestia started to snicker and then placed the mirror back before she looked at Sly and started to tickle the little fox’s belly. “Oh you clever little trickster, not even two years old yet and already pulling pranks on your old aunty.” “Old is right.” Nightmare Moon added as she kept laughing about Celestia’s colorful face. “Hey I’m not that old.” Celestia protested as she pouted slightly, then smiled and leaned down to Sly who had calmed down a little from her tickle attack. “So do your forgive me little one?” Sly looked at Celestia for a moment and then gave her a long lick from the tip of her nose to the edge of her mane, leaving behind a bright neon hot pink stripe. Celestia sat up and looked at Luna with her added strip and smirked slightly. “I’m not sure if that means he forgives me or not.” “Oh I’m sure he does sister, after all you’re such a colorful character.” “Oh Ha-ha.” Celestia stood up and smiled as she used her magic to clean her face and Luna’s. “but it’s getting late and I think it’s time for our little ones to be put in bed.” “Agreed sister.” “Ah but we don’t want to go to bed.” Blueblood protested as he looked up at Celestia. “Not when the prank war is still all tied up.” “Now, now, there will be none of that, besides it’s not tied.” Luna said, as she levitated her two little ones on to her back while Celestia levitated Blueblood onto hers. “Really?” “Yes, I still has one prank over Luna, will call what happen just now between me and Sly his own personal prank on me.” “You hear that Sly, you have a point in the prank war, we’ll call you team Fox.” Nightmare moon said, as she smiled at Sly who barked happily and wagged his tail. As the ground started to head down the hall that was in the middle of changing of the solar and night guards. “YEAH TEAM SUN BUTT STILL IN THE LEAD!!” both princess stopped while Celestia’s face changed colors again only this time not because of Sly’s magical tong. While the guards seem to freeze, partly because they where scared if they moved that they might break down and laugh, and partly out of fear because they knew where that nick name came from. “And I think you just tied us again.” Luna whispered into Blueblood’s ear then whispered into Celestia’s “Gotcha.” Several moments later Sly was curled up with Nightmare Moon like every night, and smiled as she placed her little wing over him. “Sweet dreams my little ones.” “Night mommy.” Once Luna left Sly seemed to curl up a little closer to Nightmare Moon getting her to smile slightly. “Cold?” “Scared.” “Of what?” “You not liking me anymore.” as he let out a little whimper Nightmare Moon realized that maybe she did go a little far in her moment of anger and wrapped her forelegs around Sly and held him close. “I’m you’re big sister silly, I’m never going to stop liking you.” with that Sly smiled and gave Nightmare Moon a quick lick on the nose before curling up and falling asleep. A few hours later Luna sat in the dinning hall and smiled as a servant brought in one of her favorite deserts. As she looked down at the sweet treat before her she smiled, a pie made with a gram cracker crust filled with dark chocolate cream filling, topped with a small boarder of marshmallow goodness, and a bit of chocolate whip cream in the center. As she leaned down she extended her tong and barely flicked the cherry in the center of small cushion of whipped cream, the pie exploded into a geyser of pudding covering Luna’s face and mane, before showering the rest of her body in the creamy remains, she remained still for several moments then started to use her magic to clean her face, but as she looked down at the pie tin in anger she noticed something odd at the base of it, as she focused her magic she pulled out a chocolate covered feather. “Philomena, you shall pay for this.” Luna stormed off out of the dinning room and towards her bathroom keeping a very close eye on her guards swearing to her self that if just one of them flinched she would throw them in the dungeon until this war was over. As she relaxed in her bath she started to plot her revenge upon Philomena, which was starting to go into some dark places until Discord arrived and dumped a bucket of ice cold water on her head. “DISCORD HOW DARE YOU!!” Luna yelled in shock, as she jumped from the tub, then slipped on some soap, landed on her flank and went spinning into a wall. “You better have something really good for tomorrow or I’m going to filey you tonight.” “Oh get a little dark chocolate on you, and you get all moody, but since you did bring it up.” Discord snapped his fingers and both him and Luna where sitting at a tea table both in dresses. “I got this lovely idea for a prank.” As Luna leaned in close Discord started to whisper his plan. The following morning Luna smiled as she walking into Nightmare Moon/Sly’s room, picked Nightmare Moon up and smiled her little filly started to wake up partly through her changing. “Looks like someone got a late night kiss.” Luna said, as she tried to hold back her snicker. “Wh-what?” Nightmare Moon said, half asleep as she tried to rub the sleep from her eyes. “Well I guess Sly wanted to give you a kiss last night, only that potion Philomena gave him must have still been active.” with that Luna held up a mirror to Nightmare Moon who noticed that her nose was bright neon red. “I think it’s rather sweet.” Luna levitated Nightmare Moon onto her back and headed back to the crib where Sly was started to get up, and looked at Nightmare Moon was set down next to him. “You turned my nose red.” Nightmare Moon said, as she looked at Sly getting him to lower his head and ears. “My little moon he didn’t mean to do it, he only wished to give you a kiss, in fact it kind of makes me want to sing.” Nightmare Moon looked at Luna and started to pout. “It’s not funny mommy.” Luna smiled as she looked at her little filly. “What fun is being a mommy if I can’t sing to may sweet little ones, once and a while.” “I guess.” Nightmare Moon noticed Sly getting a little excited as his tail started to wage. “Besides we both wike when you sing.” with that Luna sat down and cleared her throat as she smiled at the two youths in the room. “Moony the red nosed filly Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw her You would even say it glows.” “Not funny mommy.” Nightmare Moon protested but was then lifted up and brought into a hug from Luna. “All of the other ponies Used to laugh and call her names They never let poor Moony Join in any pony games.” “I knew I didn’t like this song.” Nightmare Moon could see a smile on Sly’s face, his ears had perked up and his tail was wagging even faster, though she didn’t like the song, or at least at this time she didn’t like it, she had to admit her mother had the best singing voice in all of Equestria. “Then one foggy hearts warm Eve Santa came to say: Moony with your nose so bright, Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight.” Luna set Nightmare Moon back in the crib and Sly started to whimper at her. “What?” Sly whimpers again. “But it’s just a song.” Sly whimpers some more as his ears laid back down on his head and his tail stopped wagging. “Oh fine I’ll guide the sleigh.” Sly perked up and barked happily getting Luna to smile, which also made Nightmare Moon smile. “Then all the ponies loved her As they shouted out with glee.” “BARK! BARK!” “Moony the red-nosed filly You’ll go down in history.” As Luna finished, she started to laugh, as did Nightmare Moon, while Sly wagged his tail and barked happily. “O.K that’s enough playing around for this morning, time for some breakfast.” Luna said, finally as she levitated both Nightmare Moon and Sly onto her back and headed for the dinning room. It was around noon, Discord sat in his perch as he prepped his weapon, as he cleaned the barrel and inspected his ammo carefully he selected his choice ammunition and loaded his weapon, as the after noon day court started Discord prepared himself as Celestia made her way towards the throne and took careful aim, and just as he took in a deep breath to fire, Philomena popped up and blew into the other end of the blow dart sending a pellet of red hot chili powder down Discord’s throat. The events that followed would best be described as Discord’s interpretation of a super bounce ball unleashed in the throne room until he flew out the window and into the day garden’s pond, where he consumed all the water, then spit the fish out into a fish bowl he made appear. “Alright Philomena, if that is how you wish to play, then by all means let the games begin.
