(Sonata and Occasional Third person/pony point of view.)
"Twilight! Something weird is going on!" I cried out.
Twilight made the moaning noise Adagi makes- Even putting her hoof to her face like Adagi! "Does it involve your ears?" She put her hoof down as I nodded quickly. "Ponies ears fold back or to the side when they have certain emotions. Like now their folded back because...?"
"I don't know, I was asking you!"
"Are you scared or sad about something besides your ears?"
"I pushed a Pegasus off a cliff- I pushed Rainbow Dash off a cliff!" I was about to fall over on my bottom and cry, but when Rainbow flew in I saw she was fine.
Rainbow shook her head, "Sonata! Rule one of playful pushing: Don't push hard, especially near a cliff!"
"S-sorry... Something hairy just touched my leg!"
Twilight sighed, "That's your tail Sonata."
"Oh, forgot about that." I giggled nervo... nervah... That feeling you get when you're waiting to be in trouble. I don't like that feeling.
Suddenly the doors slam open as a crazy looking bat-lady stomped in, dropping jewels as he entered. "Where is Princess Cadenza?!"
Rainbow hovered above Twilight, Twilight saying, "Um... In the Crystal Empire? Where she lives."
Rainbow covered my ears when the bat began to speak. I learned that she said something along the lines of "Get that ...........itch down here, meow!" I could be wrong. My lip reading has failed me before.
Turns out the lady was stressed about something and wasn't allowed near the empire. Something about stealing the children there. Any way, Twilight sent a message that got an instant response that made the bat angry enough to stomp it into the ground and say more words Rainbow doesn't want me hearing. When she left Rainbow let me hear again.
"What was that for?" I asked.
"There were words that shouldn't be repeated." Rainbow replied angrily.
"I'm over a thousand years old, quit treating me like a baby!"
Twilight looked over, "Might I recommend you act your age?"
I thought about it for a bit before declaring, "The night will last forever! Mwahahaha!" A weather pony began creating lightning as I said those words. This world is weird.
"I said act your age!"
"But I don't want worms in my head and dirt on my body! I don't like death..." A tear almost fell out of Sonata's eye, but stopped as soon as she thought somepony said 'taco'. The tear was absorbed into her eye as she looked around, "Taco? Where?!?"
Rainbow shared an awkward glace with Twilight as they left Sonata alone. Said person- or pony, but the technicalities are debatable -didn't question why she was by herself. The only thoughts she had were having tacos with her besties and who that bat-lady was. She seemed so weird, but why did she stay in her mind? Sonata shrugged as she exited the castle.
"What do you mean Meh Burger doesn't sell tacos?! Its a food place right?" Sonata asked, leaning over the counter to be in the worker's face. The light blue mobian in the purple polo known as "Dave the Intern" by all mobians, cowered in fear of the only pony- albeit mobian pony -to come to the establishment, demanding tacos even though it wasn't on the menu. He told her the last fifteen times no, but she got more aggressive each time.
"T-this is Meh Burger! Meh Taco hasn't been located yet!" Dave said, watching as her glowing red eyes returned to normal and she backed off.
"That does make sense..." Her thoughts were broken by the sound of somebody using a trashcan. Its her! The weird bat-lady! Sonata thought. She left Dave to handle the next customer, somehow following the spy inconspicuously.
I followed her to cave. What is she doing in a cave? Bears live in caves- Oooh. Because she's a mobian and mobians come in many animals and colors, she must think she's a bear! I have to watch out and hopefully warn her in time! I wouldn't want to be mauled by a bear and I think she would have the same thoughts... but her own. Yeah...
I slowly snuck into the cave, making sure I step on every stick so my noise problem could be avoided later. Like in the movies! The hero is being sneaky, but is found by a stick on the ground. How stupid is-
[/*CRAK*b]
From deeper inside, a familiar voice called out, "Who's there?!" I covered my mouth over my hands... the other way. I mean, like, mouth is there then your hand touches it before your other hand makes it sandwich-like. The voice then called, "Marco?"
"Polo!" I sandwiched my face again. Why did Adagio teach her that game?! I was our secret hide and seek game that I always lose at! Wait...
I noticed the sounds of wind disp- dosplu- change, looking up in time to be tackled by the bat. "Who are you?!" I tried to sing, but I made an usual sound that reminded me of a dyeing whale and Aria on bean night. I wasn't supposed to write that? What do you mean there's no ink eraser? Yeah, I'm writing my side of the convlvgvkfldlvykguylvc.
While I wait for black ink... I told her who I was and why I was there. She gave me an unusual look and helped me up.
"You do know bats live in caves, right?" I was about to answer when my nose found a taco smell in the cave. I followed it to the bat's glowing cyan bracelet that smelled like tacos. She used her hand and directed my head to her eyes, "Pay no attention to Wally D."
I tilted my head, "Who?"
"Wally D. "World" Ring, my husband. By the way, my name is Rouge the Ring- EYES UP HERE, LADY!" My head was redirected to said eyes.
"Why does it smell like a taco?"
"He's flirting with you," she crossed her arms, "Like with everyone else he's near. This is why I need Cadence!"
"I think you need a love expert for that."
"Seriously? Princess Mi something something Cadenza, princess of love, isn't a love expert?"
"When you put it that way... hehe..." A thought popped into my head. "Wait, shouldn't she be queen? She has a prince and an empire!"
"You're right..." Rouge thought aloud, "Well, come in. We weren't expecting guests." I followed her deeper inside the cave, looking around at the stock of heart-themed bombs and the random assortment of tech.
"We?" She started spinning Wally D. on her finger. "Oh." Suddenly a pink notebook with the word 'plot' on it fell on my face. Opening it, I read aloud, "So, what have you been up to in Equestria?"
I looked up at her then back at the suddenly gone book. Rouge tapped her chin, "Well, I stole crystal ponies before learning that they were living crystal, met Wally, started having a close relationship with him, escaped a changeling hive. Love at first sight stuff, but thinking about it... my life here... was all about... Wally." Her eyes went wide as she looked at the cyan world ring. "Am I being to clingy, dear?"
Sonata looked around before replying, "...No?"
"Not you, I was talking to Wally D."
I stared at the one sided conversation. "I don't get it."
