//------------------------------// // Preparartions // Story: Life Goes On // by SweetyBelleluvsu //------------------------------// Emerald was sitting in Chaos' room groaning; Chaos and Crystal were groaning. They were out until four in the morning doing things they did as fouls. Things like going to Sugar Cube Corner and having a soda drinking contest, going to the park directly afterwards and seeing who could last the longest on the merry-go-round at the park, and playing ninja. "You really shouldn't have stayed up that late," Discord said as he and Twilight brought in some trays of food. "As for Emerald and Chaos," Twilight said as she put some trays in front of them, "Drinking seven-hundred and one cups of quadruple shots espresso didn't help." "I got the one for the win," Chaos said in a bored/tired tone, "I won the bet." "Bet?" Discord said with a curious look on his face. "We said," Emerald said as she sat up to eat some food, "That whoever won in the challenge would get to do something wedding related." "I won," Chaos said again as he finally got the strength to sit up, "So I get to pick the location, brides-mares, and grooms-stallions." They all chatted until Crystal woke up enough to get her face out of her pancakes. After they finished eating Twilight and Discord went downstairs to do the dishes. They all talked a little more; mostly about the wedding. When it became eleven Crystal had to say goodbye and go take care of her sister. As Chaos and Emerald talked about what would be at the wedding, when it would be, and who all should come. They decided that it would be May 30th, and on Sweet Apple Acres if the Apples said they could. They would have family and friends for the reception and they needed to get the invitations out soon. So they started to make the list, Chaos wrote down who all he wished could come and Emerald wrote down a list as well, it looked like this... Go look at my follower page to find out who! :3 They looked at other options and things wedding wise until they needed a break. "Why don't we take a break," Emerald asked as she stretched a little getting a smile from Chaos, "Why don't we walk around and look at houses or something?" "I'm game," Chaos said as he stood up, he helped Emerald up afterward, "Want to take our sisters with us to keep us awake?" "I was supposed to watch Raven today," Emerald said as the thought dawned on her, "So yes, let's." They grabbed their sisters and went on a walk toward town hall. Once they got a list of available apartments they went on the hunt to find the perfect one. None of them had what they were looking for. Half of them had only one room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The other half were close to the Pony-Ville Dump. "Emerald," Raven said as the were walking around looking for more homes to look at, "I forgot that I needed to go get something from Morning Pie for a school project; can we stop by Sweet Apple Acres?" "Sure Emerald," Emerald said as they headed toward the farm, "I mean, I don't think Chaos minds so why not." They walked along the path, talking back and forth, and making a joke here or there. "Ok," Raven said as she bounced around a bit, "Poptart; knock, knock." "Who's there?" She asked whilst rolling her eyes. "What-chya" Raven said. "What-chya who?" Strawberry said, still not wanting to do another joke. "WHAT-CHYA MEAN YOU HAVE TO SELL THE FARM?!" A voice not that far away yelled. Emerald and Chaos looked at each other and bolted toward the main house. When they got there they saw Applejack and Apple Bloom arguing, Morning Pie hiding behind Sparx, and Soarin trying to pull Applejack back. "Just what I said!" Applejack yelled back, "Look, ever since Mac went to Canterlot I haven't been able to make ends meet!" "What have you been doing with the money that we give you?" Apple bloom said in furry, "Buying more apple seeds? Applejack, we have to many apple trees as it is!" "But-" "QUIET!" Chaos yelled in a megaphone he had made with his magic, "Thank you. Now what is the problem." "Nothing that concerns you," Apple Bloom said as she looked at Applejack. "I think that any conversation that can be heard from town is my business," Chaos said as he took a courageous step forward, "Now what seems to be the problem?" "Applejack has been wasting money on apple seeds," Apple Bloom said, "So now she has to sell the farm because she can't pay the bills!" I'm going to need more popcorn! "Where do you plan on going if you do?" Emerald asked as she pushed Raven and Strawberry toward Morning Pie. "We was plannin' on moving to Soarin's old home." Applejack said as she moved closer to her husband, "Besides, I can't stay here forever; I need to move on." "But Applejack!" Apple Bloom said as she stomped a hoof, "If you sell the farm, where are Sparx, M.P., and I go?! Did you think of that?!" "I know where you will go," Chaos intervened, "Nowhere, you will stay in your home." "How can I when the farm isn't owned by Applejack anymore?!" Apple Bloom said. "Because I said you may," Chaos said to her before turning to Applejack, "If you are still selling, I would like to buy Sweet Apple Acres. To make long story short they now own Sweet Apple Acres.
