The lovely life of Emerald Isle

by SweetyBelleluvsu


Fun Times

When school was let out that day, everypony was so excited about the play that night; they had spent all day practicing. Emerald, Chaos, and Silver were drawing so much attention; no one had seen Silver so… nice. They all walked home together and Silver was even telling jokes; that was unusual. They talked, joked, and laughed all the way home. They had all gotten permission to go over to Emerald’s house to do their homework and then practice their parts. Since Diamond Cutter was sick, Chaos was to take the place of Shang. Emerald was Marelon and Silver was Marelon’s mom. They got to Emeralds house, had a few cookies, and crashed the CMC meeting in the living room. After they were shooed to Emeralds room, they all got out their homework and struggled to do it. In other words, Chaos explained it to the girls.

“And so you take side A. squared plus Side B. squared and you will get the hypotenuse squared,” Chaos explained, “Does that help?”

“A little,” Emerald said before she jokingly held up her hoof, “But, how do we know what side will be the hypotenuse?”

“It’s simple!” Chaos said with a little joy in his voice, “The hypotenuse is always the longest side of the triangle!”

“Oh!” Silver exclaimed, “I get it now!” Silver started to work her last three questions but Emerald still had a little trouble.

“I don’t get it,” She said as she stared at her paper.

Chaos sighed, “Think of it this way, A. squared plus B. squared equals C. squared.”

“Oh!” Emerald exclaimed in the same way Silver did, “Now I get it!” Emerald went to work on her last five problems and was done the same time as Silver. Now, finally, they got to practice their parts for the play.

“So,” Emerald said, “How do we practice the songs?”

“I can make music with my magic!” Chaos exclaimed, “But I don’t know if it will be accurate.”

“Well, we can make it work,” Emerald said as she scrolled through her pages, “Well, let’s start from the beginning.” They managed to get through it two times when Sweetie called them downstairs to eat. They had seven-layer salad, hay-burgers, and sweet tea. After they ate, they went up and practiced the songs. Emerald had trouble at first, but she finally managed to get it right. When it was time for the play, everything went smoothly and everyone knew their lines. After, there was a party for the completion on the play. Everypony was having fun. There were apple bobbing games, pin the tail on the donkey, and LOADS of food.

“Now what?” Emerald asked for they had just eaten. There was a rule there, since there were so many ponies, that once you play a game you can’t play it again. “We are full of food, we played all the games, and now Chaos is hyperventilating.”`

“Need… need” Chaos stammered, “Need something to- to- to do! This is so boring; I’ve eaten poptarts more interesting than this!”

“I hear you,” Silver said as she blew hew hair out of her face, “A gummy bear is more fun; can we just go home?”

“That’s it!” Emerald exclaimed as she ran toward where the parents were. When she came back, the smile on her face was so big, Silver and Chaos knew that her idea had worked. “I can’t believe that actually worked! But guess what!” She said without letting them talk, “Mom said that if we were careful and Chaos put his magic force-field thingy around us on the way we can go to the old CMC clubhouse! Mom also said that we could even stay there in the summer!”

“Really?!” Chaos exclaimed, “Awesome! Come on Silver, let’s go!”

“I’m right behind you!” Silver exclaimed as she jumped up, “Let’s get going!”

“Hold it right there young mare!” A voice said from behind Silver, “Where do you think you’re going?”

“Daddy,” Silver said with a pouty face, “We were about to go to the old CMC clubhouse. Emeralds mom said that we could go now if Chaos here put a force-field around us!”

“I don’t know this Chaos,” Silvers dad said skeptically, “How do I know he can be trusted?”

“Aw,” Chaos said disappointed, “Not this again. For real Uncle Spike, how do you NOT know me?” Chaos took the moment to turn to his colt form, and then back.

“Oh,” Spike said surprised, “Um, ok then. If you kids will excuse me, I need to go pummel my sister for not telling me about you like that Chaos.”

“Do we have to go now?” Silver asked after spike left, “When dad gets mad, it’s the best fireworks I’ve ever seen!”

“Fireworks,” Emerald asked with a sly tone, “Sure, let’s stay and watch.” No sooner had Emerald said that, Twilight ran as fast as she could past them; half screaming, half laughing. The kids turned their heads just in time to see spike fly past with a grin on his face. The kids followed out the door as they watched Twilight fly into the air. No sooner was she five feet in the air Spike was out the door and headed for her. It took only five more seconds for him to catch her.

“Noo!” Twilight screamed, “MERCY! I BEG OF YOU, MERCY!”

“Oh,” Spike said disappointed, “Alright… NOT!”

“What?! NO! GET AWAY, GET AWAY I TELL YOU!”

Spike laughed an evil laugh, “Never.” Spike grabbed Twilight and pinned her on the ground. Chaos nearly jumped in to help his mom but Silver held him back. Spike then, unexpectedly, started to give Twilight raspberries on her chest which made her scream in laughter.

“No-“ Twilight gasped, “No- Stop- stop- PLEASE!”

“Fine,” Spike said with a grin, “I’ll stop… With the raspberries”

“What?!”

Spike then started to tickle Twilight with his wings witch made here scream in laughter even more. Chaos couldn’t help it, he had to help! He leaped toward his mom, managing to get past silver. Emerald, for some reason, knew what he was doing and joined him running toward Twilight. Silver ran to stop them but was surprised when she saw that they were helping spike Tickle Twilight. She shrugged it off and went to help them. When Twilight finally called Uncle, they all stopped and laughed with the crying Twilight. Surly, Emerald loved being with these guys; She was even more happy that she had somepony to act as an old sibling. Emerald knew that when she was with her friends, she was going to be happy.
