//------------------------------// // Prank War Day 3 // Story: Foal Adventures. // by Super-Stallion //------------------------------// Philomena’s day started pretty early, when her bird cage exploded sending her flying up into the ceiling getting her head stuck, it was with the help of Celestia that she was able to free herself, and even though Celestia was able to put her cage back together Philomena was still very upset, and angry, nopony should ever mess with a phoenix’s nest, not unless you wish to face their wrath. “I think this prank war is starting to get out of hand.” Celestia said, as she looked at her long time friend who was still clearly angry. “I think we should call it off now.” Philomena shot Celestia an evil glare so terrible that it even sent a chill down the sun princess’s spine. “Philomena, it might be for the best.” Philomena said a few things in her native tongue, most of them couldn’t be translated, not because there isn’t a word for them, but because for five minutes Philomena unleashed a verbal assault that would leave even a marine pony blushing. When she was finished she flew off leaving Celestia in a state of shock. “Where in Equestria did she learn that kind of language?” a few moments later Kit answered the door to the apartment and was then slammed against the farthest wall by a magical fireball unleashed by Philomena as she flew in and started to look around. “WHERE IS HE!?” “Nice to see you to Philomena, please come in.” Kit said, as he picked himself up and dusted off his chest. “Please watch the flames.” Kit snapped his fingers and Philomena was sitting at the kitchen counter, flames extinguished and a glass of water sitting before her. “Now I’m going to assume either Discord did something to make you angry, or you found out that Firebird was cheating on you.” “I’m looking for that no good slime ball.” “That really didn’t answer my question.” “Well is Firebird cheating on me?” Philomena asked, as she took her water and started to boil it. “Is Celestia pink?” “No.” “Then Firebird isn’t cheating on you.” “THEN WHAT SLIME BALL, DO YOU WHO I’M TALKING ABOUT!?!” “Well I kind of knew you were talking about Discord.” “Then why didn’t you just tell me where he was instead of stalling?” Philomena stopped for a moment, as a bit of realization started to set in. “He’s trying to sneak out the door behind me, isn’t he?” “Yep.” “TRAITOR!” Discord yelled, as he ran through the door with Philomena close behind. “GET BACK HERE AND TAKE YOUR BEATING!!” As Kit shut the door Firebird slowly stuck his head out of his bedroom and looked at him. “Is she gone?” “Yeah… wait why are you scared?” “Are you kidding me, when she’s like that I try my best to stay as far away from her as possible.” “Well, I have an idea on how to calm the angry beast.” “I hope so.” While Kit put his plan into action back at the castle Nightmare Moon, Blueblood, and Kit played happily in the play room while Luna and Celestia talked. “So it is agreed we’re ending this prank war short before anyone get’s hurt.” “Agreed, and for the rest of the time our pranks will only be limited to harmless pranks.” with that both sisters agreed. Just then both sisters jumped as they heard a loud squeak behind them, as they looked they found Sly playing happily with his squeaky toy since he had just found it. “I think we might just be a little on edge.” Celestia said after she and Luna stopped laughing about them jumping at the noise. Sly walked up to both sisters and squeaked his toy a few times then ran towards Nightmare Moon and Blueblood who were building something with their blocks. “So did anything happen last night.” “Well, I did get a report of several local royal guards of Baltimare where attacked last night.” “Any idea of what could have done it.” “I have an idea, but I’m not going to press the issue, from the reports seems that three guards had gotten a little to drunk with power and started to force it upon some of the locals.” “I see, and what did the locals claim attacked the guards?” “I think we both know the answer to that one dear sister.” Celestia smiled as she looked at Luna. “It’s good to know that he’s started to accept the role of a Kiren Rider.” “He excepted it once before.” Celestia’s smile turned to a frown as she thought back to the time Luna was talking about. “When he took on the role before he took it out of hate, and grief. He lashed out at many dark forces across countless realities and laid waste to their armies, showing no mercy to them. He was a rider then but he was a dark rider, not a Kiren Rider.” “Yes, but it does seem that he’s learned restraint here, he doesn’t harm the innocent, and is very good with foals, well at least the good ones.” “True.” Luna and Celestia watched as the foals played for a little while before Luna bid good evening to her sister and the little ones. The rest of the day seem to go with out a hitch, no surprises nothing out of the ordinary, until nap time. As Celestia started to tuck Blueblood into his crib, Nightmare Moon and Sly waited, when a knock came from the door. “Could you please see who that is Little Moon.” “That’s Nightmare Moon.” Nightmare Moon corrected and pouted slightly, only Luna gets to call her Little Moon. “Very well then could you please see who is at the door Nightmare Moon.” “Very well.” with that Nightmare Moon walked to the door followed by Sly, as Celestia used her magic to open the door for them. She could make out everything but after a few moments Nightmare Moon closed the door came back with Sly right beside her whimpering a little bit. “What’s wrong Sly?” “He’s just upset that I didn’t let him lick our new friend at the door, it’s for you by the way.” with that Celestia smiled and gave Sly a quick kiss on the cheek to cheer him up before walking towards the door, and upon opening it she let out a gasp just before she was wrapped up in Vanilla pudding tenticals and swallowed by a pudding monster. Later that evening at dinner, Celestia didn’t look very happy with Luna. “What’s wrong sister, are you upset is it something you ate. Or something that ate you?” “Remember sister dearm this prank war isn’t over until midnight, and I still have 6 hours to get you back.” Elsewhere at that very moment Philomena was still fuming, the heat she was radiating could have melted her cage that Celestia had put back together, if not for the fact that it was magically enchanted for such things. “Wow, is it hot in here?” Kit said, as he appeared a few feet away and looked at Philomena. “What do you want?” Her voice was filled with venom while she spat flames out at Kit, who roasted a few mashmellows on them. “To make you happy.” “That heartless jerk blew up my cage, MY CAGE!” “Philomena please stop spitting fire, it doesn’t really effect me at all but you are getting close to burning Celestia’s personal book collection.” “They’re protected, which is less then I can say for that cowardly worm you call a friend.” with that Kit blinked a few times then reached into a pocket and pulled out a little orange worm. “Slimy, what did you do to Philomena?” the little worm bopped up and down a few times then crawled up Kit’s sleeve and stuck it’s head out at his collar. “He doesn’t know what he’s done, but he’s sorry.” “YOU KNOW WHO I’M TALKING ABOUT!!” Philomena burst into flames and glared at Kit ready to unleash her fury down upon him for making light of the situation. “And there went the history section.” Kit said, as he pointed at several books now on fire, getting Philomena to calm down and allowing Kit to restore the books with a snap of his fingers. “Listen Philomena you need to calm down, you need to-” “If you tell me to relax I’ll burn this entire castle down on your head.” “Then chill.” with that Kit snapped his fingers and the entire room froze with Philomena encased in a block of ice, which was clear that she didn’t like because she kept trying to break free only to find the ice wasn’t melting. “I tried to be friendly, and stuff but at this time you’re a little to hot to handle, so you’re going to chill and listen.” Philomena screeched and bellowed but nothing happened as she remained trapped in the ice. “You’re not thinking clearly at this time, you’re angry, and rightfully so. Discord blew up your cage, your home, your nest for as long as you can remember, and to be honest if I was you I would be doing the same.” Philomena calmed down at this and just glared at Kit that he only interpreted as wanting to know why he wasn’t letting her unleash her fury. “Because both you and I know that if our powers where unleashed in angry, we could unleash untold destruction.” the glare didn’t change. “Untold destruction on the very creatures that Celestia watches over, and what would happen if you harmed them.” the glare faltered slightly. “I know you Philomena, you like to pull pranks, but you’re also very caring, loving, and protective, you came to Sly’s protection when those two jerks attacked him.” Philomena lowered her head slightly. “Listen, Discord goes to far sometimes, and Celestia is going to deal with him on what he did, but you need to get that anger in check, Celestia doesn’t want to have to punish you, no parent does.” Philomena’s head shot up and looked at Kit who smirked slightly. “It’s not that hard to figure out that she raised you from a hatchling, she brags about you a lot when you’re not around, doesn’t want to give you the idea she’ll let you get away with stuff, but back on topic, I want to try and get you out of this little mood you’re in so I’ve arranged something.” Kit snapped his fingers and things went back to normal, as he held out a small white cube. “This is a little pocket dimension, It’s a tropical island filled with a lot of fruit trees of your favorite fruit, now time moves differently in here so what will seem like a week will only be a night here.” Philomena looked at the cube and then up at Kit. “And why would I want to go to a tropical island alone?” Kit smiled as he set the cube down in front of Philomena. “You wouldn’t be alone, Some one is already waiting for you there.” with that Philomena looked at Kit then very closely at the Cube and could barely see Firebird standing on a tree house waving at her. “This doesn’t mean I’m not getting him back.” Philomena said, as she looked up at Kit. “Nothing of the sort, I just want you to calm down before you hurt any creature you don’t mean to hurt.” with that Philomena nodded and then tapped the cube and vanished, gentely gliding into the waiting wings of Firebird. “Good, scorched terra adverted.” Kit said, as he left a do not touch note by the cube, before he vanished. Once he was gone though from the shadows Discord appeared and smiled as he manifested himself in the room and started to reach for the cube. “Oh to bad there’s going to be such terrible weather.” Discord’s talon nearly tapped the cube when a Silver gauntlet grabbed his wrist and pulled it away, while Discord tried his best to look innocent as Shadow Moon glared at him. “So much as breath on that cube Discord and I will unleash torment and suffering upon you that you’ll be begging Celestia and Luna to turn you back to stone.” “You be nice or I’m telling Fluttershy.” Discord stuck out his tongue only to have Shadow Moon grab him by the muzzle and pull him down to eye level. “Oh that’s a great idea, let’s go talk with Fluttershy, let’s tell her that you blew up Philomena’s home, let’s do that.” “No, no let’s not do that, after all we’re friends we can work this out.” Discord squeaked out as Shadow Moon’s grip on his muzzle tightened. “Don’t touch the cube, do not even come into this room tonight, or you’ll be explaining yourself to Fluttershy. “Yes sir.” with that Shadow Moon let go of Discord’s wrist and snapped his fingers, making Discord vanish and crashing into the apartment. “That insolent jerk, if he thinks he can scare me he has another thing coming.” “Discord, two things, one: who are you talking about?” Kit asked, as he laid on the floor. “That jerk Shadow Moon, he just threatened to do terrible things to me, if I messed with Philomena tonight.” “Then don’t, I know Shadow Moon, or rather I know of the stories, the destroyer, the creature that monsters fear. If what they say is true then he’s taken down entire armies of darkness alone.” Discord thought about this and then pouted realizing that maybe picking a fight with Shadow Moon wasn’t a good idea, he had heard the stories also, how he had stood against would be gods, and demon lords, only to vanquish them leaving nothing but their ashes in his wake. As he flopped down Indian style and sulked he could hear the sound of Kit’s finger tapping the floor. “Fine,… but didn’t you say there was two things.” “Yes, GET OFF MY BACK!!”
