//------------------------------// // 1. Dreams // Story: 6 Mares for 6 Stallions // by sapphiremelody //------------------------------// "Flash!" Flash covered his head with his pillow. "FLASH!" Flash woke up to see his only twin brother Soarin at his door. He looked really frustrated, probably it's breakfast time and Fancypants (his friend/housemate) insisted that everyone needs to be at the table. "I'm coming," Flash threw his pillow at Soarin who dodged it of course and went downstairs with a hungry brother following. The rest of his housemates waited downstairs. They were so different yet somehow they were best friends. There was Big Mac, the strongest and quietest, Caramel, the most hardworking, creative, and messiest , Fancy Pants, the neatest, most sociable, and most observant (though he doesn't point it out), Cheese Sandwich, the funniest and loudest, Soarin, the fastest, most playful (and the most hot tempered), most determined in the group, and flirty of the group, and him, Flash, the most calmest, bravest (thought called reckless by his brothers), mosy cunning of the group (and is very outspoken), and clumsiest of the group. Soarin and Flash were the only ones related in the house but Big Macintosh had 2 sisters back home. "Well finally you're here now lets have breakfast and get out of here to the market no.... Games that we're the prey?" All the stallions sighed. It all started when they were little that they had to be babysitted by Granny Smith at Flash's and Soarin's house for the night while their parents went out of town. When the parents were coming home at night time, the Timberwolves attacked them while they were traveling down the avalanche zone. Sad day. Now the stallions always travel in the avalanche zone during day time. "Well then... breakfast time!" Fancy Pants passed bowls of oatmeal with random toppings and an apple pie for Soarin (that stallion loves his pies). Cheese started chatting aimlessly again like his parent's death wasn't brought up as Fancy Pants passed his bowl topped with cheese fondue (Cheese's diet is as weird as himself). Caramel looked back at his newspaper, laughing at the comics as he got oatmeal covered with caramel. Big Macintosh started to eat his oatmeal with applesauce neatly to avoid Fancy Pant's glare who only Soarin was invincible against as he dove into his apple pie. Fancy, aware of this, settles down and eats his plain oatmeal while Flash awkwardly stares at his oatmeal with marshmallow and chocolate chips. Caramel looks up and sighs ,"Uh oh is it "Flash Judges Time" already?" The whole table groaned except Cheese Sandwich who laughs every time at their friend's game when he decides to point out everything obvious that annoys the rest of the stallions. But instead Flash pulled out a flyer, it had a stallion in a black tuxedo dancing with a mare in a light blue dress. On the top it said "COME TO PONYVILLE'S SNOWBALL!!" Flash chuckled and sighed,"Well it would be nice to see a mare more than once in a while and I saw this flyer last time I was at town and..." Soarin zooms up into the air. "Uh, uh, no way! Though you guys say I'm a flirt doesn't mean I want to be in...," Soarin shudders. "Love." "But its a party and don't you know when there's any kind of party I MUST BE THERE," Soarin froze as Cheese jumped on the table and faced Flash. "So when is this ball Flashie?" Flash gulped and smiled sheepishly,"Tonight." "Whelp, I'm the most creative one here but we can't go to the ball,we don't even have oufits," All the stallions looked disappointed at Caramel's comment, even Soarin looked dissappointed but Cheese hopped next to a lamp, turned it off, and turned it back on while saying,"Ding! Fancy Pants lets use your wardrobe!" Fancy Pants looked surprised as Big Mac let out an "Ee'nope." Fancy Pants was the only one here good with ponies. Usually when they go to town they stay quiet till Soarin tries to flirt and they end up getting into a hoof fight. Cheese Sandwich gave everyone an insane smile that made everyone shrink into their seats as he grabbed his accordion and started playing. "I'm loud, funny, and crazy, this smile could curdle dairy, and cleaning-wise my hooves aren't the cleanest. But despite my crazy looks, and my way of life and rotten smell, I always wanted to dance with a mare," Cheese Sandwich started tap dancing as all the other stallions looked at him with confusion. "Can'tcha see me on the stage waltzing, teasing until she gleams? Yep, I'd rather be called funny from a girl who really loves me," Cheese Sandwich bowed,"Thank you!" Cause way down deep inside I've got a dream!!!" Then Soarin's surprise all the stallions shrugged and joined in ,"He's got a dream! He's got a dream!" "See I ain't as crazy as I seem," Cheese Sandwich piped up ,"Though I do like getting muddy ,you can count me with the lovers like of course all of you I've got a dream!" Suddenly Cheese dragged Flash onto the stage and gave him an insane look that meant he had to do it. Flash took a deep breath "I got scratches, a smell, and bruises. Plus a bug bite that used to be oozing and lets even mention the things I know are the truth." "No kidding," Soarin muttered. "But despite my recklessness, and my coat, and my clumsiness, I really want to make a love connection," Flash smiled and blushed and continued, "Can't you see me with a special little mare, rowin in a rowboat down the stream? Though I'm a clumsy blighter, I'm a lover not a fighter, Cause way down deep inside I got a dream!!!" "He's got a dream!" Then all the stallions jumped down from the table except Flash who continued singing ,"I've got a dream, and I know one day romance will reign supreme! Though my honesty leaves people groaning, there's a child behind it dreaming! Live everypony else I got a dream!!" "Big Mac would look good in a tux!" Cheese Sandwich started singing. "Caramel can make that mare a rose!" Flash joined in. "Your strength can attract someone," Fancy sang to Big Mac. "And Caramel can make caramel!" Big Mac sang. " You can fly, you can flirt, you just need to let your inner lover show," Cheese Sandwich told Soarin whose face became red. "And Fancy you can find that unicorn!" Flash tapped Fancy's horn who started levitating outfit for the occasion down that stairs. Cheese Sandwich pointed at Soarin to sing. "I have dreams like you , no really! Just much less lovey dovey! They mainly somewhere warm and sunny. On an island that I own, tanned and rested and alone, surrounded by enormous piles of money!" Soarin got levitated (much to his dislike) by Fancy Pants and put into a blue cape with bronze Spartan armor. "I've got a dream! We've got a dream! I've got a dream! We've got a dream! We just want go to that ball! Yeaaaah!!!" All the stallions sang as Fancy Pants put them in outfits. Caramel got a light pal green top with blue pants with a green stripe. Cheese got a black jacket with red lines and black pants. Big Mac got a red cape with a white shirt and blue tunic with golden stripes and pale blue pants. Fancy Pants put on a red cape with a brown shirt and lighter brown tunic, brown pants, and a red hunting cap with a feather. Flash wore a golden shirt with a white scarf with a sapphire and a navy blue jacket with golden stripes and black pants with a golden stripe. "And with every passing hour, I'm so glad I got that flyer, like birds of a feather, we've all got the same dream," All the now finely dressed stallion jumped into their wheelbarrow as Big Macintosh and started heading toward Ponyville. "I've got a dream, he's got a dream! They got a dream! We've all got dreams! So our differences ain't really that extreme. We're one big team!" But soon their voices quieted once they got to the avalanche zone. "Call us crazy, ruffians, and grotesquely optimistic! Cause way deep down inside we've got a dream! I've got a dream, I've got a dream, I've got a dream, I've got a dream, I've got a dream, I've got a dream!" Right when they saw the town insight, they sang at the top of their lungs ,"Yes! Way deep down inside I've got a dream!!!!! Yeah!" And with that Big Mac started galloping down the mountain with the stallions whooping and cheering!
