	Twilight Sparkle and her friends stood around the dragon balls. A green dragon towered over them. He made Spike look like he was the size of a jelly bean. The ponies gazed up at him in wonder.

“The Dragon Balls can allow me to grant you two wishes.” Shenron said.

“Two wishes? But there are seven dragon ball thingys.” Pinkie Pie protested.

“It was originally supposed to be three wishes, but your Saiyan friends used one up.” Shenron said.

“So it takes around 2.33 of these dragon balls to make one wish?” Twilight asked showing off her impressive math skills.

“What a rip off.” Rainbow Dash snorts.

“Never in all of my years have I seen such ungratefulness and disrespect. Not everyone has the opportunity to wish for whatever they desire.” Shenron growled hovering over the dragon balls.

“Can we wish for more wishes?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“No. It’s against the rules.” Shenron said.

“Can we wish to change the rules?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“No.” Shenron replied.

“Dang it! Can we wish to change the rule about not being allowed to change the rules?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“Quiet! You will have two wishes and that’s final.” Shenron roared.

“We should use our second wish to take us back to Equestria.” Twilight said.

“But what do we do with the first one?” Rarity asked. A white and purple figure zoomed past them.

“What in tarnation is that thing?” Applejack asked. Before anyone could answer Frieza snatched one of the seven dragon balls making Shenron vanish. “Hey! Gimme back mah dragon ball doohickey.” Applejack said.

“You better give that back or I’ll…I’ll…” Fluttershy stammered.

“You’ll what?” Frieza asked.

“I don’t know. Maybe we could share it. You could have one wish, and we could wish to go home,” Fluttershy said. Piccolo smacks his forehead.

“Don’t let him have a wish. He’ll use it for evil. You’re going to have to fight him. There’s no two ways around it. That fighting with kindness stuff doesn’t work around here.” Piccolo said.

“Oh, oops. Sorry. Nevermind. Piccolo said I shouldn’t let you have a wish.” Fluttershy said.

“He doesn’t trust me? Oh well. I guess that’s what happens when you try to wipe out his entire race.” Frieza said. 

“You won’t be getting any wishes. Not if I could help it.” Twilight said.

“You little ponies think you could stand a chance against me? Adorable.” Frieza said mockingly.

“You’re not so scary. You’re just a freak wearing lipstick.” Rainbow Dash said scraping her hoof into the dirt.

“Yeah! You tell him, Rainbow Dash!” Krillin said.

“We don’t need that dragon ball to go home as long as we have each other. My home is where my friends are. You could take away our dragon ball, but you will never take away our friendship.” Twilight rambled.

“Oh my god! Shut up! Is there some kind of an off switch on you?” Frieza asked hitting her with his tail.

“The friendship speech worked for us. I wonder what went wrong.” Goku said. Twilight got up off the ground and dusted the dirt off her coat with her wings. 

"What a shame? You are all a lot weaker than I thought. No matter. This planet will be destroyed soon anyway." Frieza said smirking smugly at the injured alicorn.  Frieza went too far that time. Nopony interrupts a friendship speech and gets away with it. Twilight improvises a rather dark song that sounds like Headstrong from Trapt.

Twilight: Frieza you’ve got some gaul
Rarity: Give us back that dragon ball
Rainbow Dash: On your knees you will crawl
You will fall. You will fall
Rarity: You can’t defeat us all
Applejack: Get ready for the fight yall
We’ll win this little brawl
Twilight: And we’ll go home once and for all
Fluttershy: You won’t even have a prayer
When I start giving you the stare
Pinkie: I really like this song
It’s super catchy and I wanna sing along
But it sounds violent
Frieza:The singing’s even worse,
I can’t bear to hear you sing another verse
Please stay silent.

“Okay!” Pinkie said cheerfully.

“I like you. You’re the good pony. You listen when I tell you to shut up. I’m going to kill you last. Big mouth dies first.” Frieza said forming a large pink ball of light on the palm of his hand.

“Ooh! Pretty!” Pinkie said opening her eyes like saucers. He hits Applejack with it.

“Quick! Do something! Do the awesome Rainbow thing.” Krillin said.

“One sonic rainboom coming right up!” Rainbow Dash said soaring up in the air.

“Sonic what? OUCH!” Frieza asked. Rainbow Dash dives down towards Frieza flying as fast as her wings could carry her. Frieza looked up at the rainbow in the sky long enough for Rainbow Dash to kick him in the back of the head. Frieza fell to the ground.

“What's the matter? Am I going too fast for ya?" Rainbow Dash taunted dodging his arracks. He finally yanked her by the tail and tossed her into a pile of rocks.

“Rainbow Dash!” Rarity gasped.

“Are you ok?” Krillin asked. Rainbow Dash groaned.

“Don’t you EVER hurt my friends you big meanie. Alright! You asked for it buster.” Fluttershy said giving him the stare.

“That’s it. Keep giving him the stare.” Piccolo said coaching Fluttershy.

“What are you doing? Stop that. No. Seriously stop looking at me like that. You’re freaking me out. Make her stop.” Frieza said.

“Hurry, Pinkie! Don’t just stand there! Use your party cannon.” Vegeta commanded.

“Okie Dokie Lokie!” Pinkie Pie said whipping out her party cannon out of nowhere. An explosion of cake batter and confetti blasts over Frieza.

"Yuck! What's this? Cake batter?! Mmmmm... Not bad. What's your recipe?"Frieza said licking the batter off of his finger.

“I just add two cups of sugar, two eggs, a cup of flower, a tiny bit of salt, some baking soda…” Pinkie Pie said stalling him long enough for Rainbow Dash to recover and hit him with another sonic rainboom. Twilight Sparkle shot laser beams out of her horn.

“Nice job, Twilight!” Goku cheered.

“Applejack! Now’s your chance. Tie him up with your lasso.” Gohan ordered.

“Ah’m on it, sugarcube.” Applejack said taking her rope out of her hat and tying the loop around Frieza.

“Hey, Diamond Butt.” Nappa said.

“My name is not Diamond Butt. It’s Rarity.” Rarity said.

“Aren’t ya gonna help your friends?” Nappa asked.

“I think I might stay on the sidelines. These kind of fights are much too barbaric. I am a lady, after all.” Rarity said.
Frieza’s one arm gets loose from the ropes. He fires a pink disk at Fluttershy.

“Look out!” Piccolo yelled. Fluttershy flew out of the way at the last second. The disk kept going and hit Rarity burning off part of her mane.

"My mane! Alright, that's it! I wasn't planning on getting my hooves dirty but you leave me no choice. TAKE THAT and THAT!" Rarity yelled jabbing him with her horn. Applejack kicks him with her back legs.

“That’s what ten years of applebuckin feels like.” Applejack said.

“Pinkie. Get the dragon ball.” Vegeta said.

“Got it!” Pinkie Pie said.

“Good. Now put it with the others.” Vegeta said.

“Make sure he doesn’t get away, Applejack.” Gohan said.

“Don’t worry. Ah got em right where ah want em.” Applejack said.

“Have you decided what you are going to wish for?” Goku asked.

“Yes. I have. For my first wish I want Frieza to be my student. Each week he shall have to write me a friendship report five hundred words each.” Twilight Sparkle said.

“What?! You have got to be kidding me.” Frieza said.

“You need to learn more about friendship in the worst way.” Twilight said.

“Your wish has been granted.” Shenron said.

“For my final wish I want us to go back to Equestria.” Twilight said. After their wish was granted, everyone returned home. The saiyans woke up on the couch.

“There you are. We were about to go out looking for you.” Bulma said.

“Where were you guys?” Android 18 asked.

“You know, guy stuff. You wouldn’t understand.” Vegeta said.

“Guy stuff? Like what?” Bulma asked.

“You know, saving the world.” Goku said.

“Goku! You know how I feel about you putting you and my son in danger. Gohan isn’t going to get anywhere in life without a proper education.” Chi Chi said.

“Don’t worry, mom. Nobody got hurt.” Gohan said.

“What am I, chopped liver?” Vegeta asked.

“You better not have left Trunks and Goten alone.” Bulma said.

“They were sleeping anyway.” Goku said.

“What is Nappa doing here?” Android 18 asked.

“It’s a long story.” Piccolo said.

“Sooo… How did the shopping go?” Krillin asked trying to change the subject.

“It went great. First we got ice cream, next we went to the drive in movies, and after that we each got these cute little dolls at a shop across the street.” Bulma said. They each took a cutie mark crusader doll out of their bags. The saiyans pretended not to be interested.

“Mine has a cute pink bow in her mane. Her name is Apple Bloom.” Chi Chi said holding the doll.

“Bulma and Chi Chi made me get one too. I picked the one with the one with the wings and spiky mane. Her name is Scootaloo.” Android 18 said tossing it aside.

“Mine is a unicorn with a cute curly mane. I think her name is Sweetie Heart.” Bulma said.

“For the love of god, woman. Her name is Sweetie Belle.” Vegeta yelled.

“You don’t strike me as the guy who would know a lot about My Little Pony.” Android 18 said.

“What? No! I-“ Vegeta said.

“We used the dragon balls to go to Ponyland.” Nappa slurred.

“What?” Chi Chi asked.

“Shut up, Nappa!” Piccolo yelled.

“Don’t mind him, mom. He’s drunk.” Gohan said.

“So how was the wrestling?” Andriod 18 said.

“It was awesome. Lots of people were um… getting their butts kicked, and wrestling, and stuff.” Krillin said.

“Oh, really? Can I borrow the dvd for a while?” Android 18 asked looking at the dvd case.

“NO!” Vegeta yelled.

“Sorry I asked?” Android 18 said.

“What Vegeta is trying to say is, we never got to finish watching it because the world was in danger.” Gohan said.

“Well then can we watch the rest of it with you?” Chi Chi asked.

“You wouldn’t like it. It has lots of blood and gore in it.” Krillin said.

“We watch your tournaments all of the time.” Bulma said.

“Well this wrestling is fake.” Piccolo said.

“Wrestling’s fake?” Goku asked.

“Sh… Play along.” Gohan whispered.

“I rode on a unicorn.” Nappa shouted.

‘What has he been drinking?” Android 18 asked.

“Piccolo got hugged by a big red goat and Frieza got marinated in cake batter.” Nappa said. Nappa's brony friends tackle him to the ground and try to cover his mouth. 

“I thought you got rid of him, Vegeta.” Bulma said.

“He did for a little while. Until the magic of friendship brought me back. It only hurts when I’m sober.” Nappa said. Trunks and Goten ran down the stairs. 

“Hey, dad. Frieza came into my bedroom window.” Trunks said.

“WHAT?” Bulma and Chi Chi screamed in unison.

“And he told me to give this letter to my dad.” Goten said.

“He said it was for somebody named Twilight Sparkle. He looked really beat up.” Trunks said.

“Yeah, and he smelled like birthday cake.” Goten added. 

"Dad you better not be watching that stupid pony show while we have company. It gives me weird dreams about an indigo flying unicorn. This is starting to get really embarrassing. I'm going to start wearing a paper bag over my head if this keeps up." Trunks said. Bulma, Chi Chi, and Android 18 looked at each other and laughed. Never in his life did Vegeta feel so humiliated. 

"Trunks, your grounded!" Vegeta growled.

"You watch My Little Pony? Grow up." Piccolo said trying not to blow his cover.

"Hey! You were watching it too." Krillen said. As his friends bickered, Goku unfolded the letter.	

Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,

Today I learned that friendship is really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really
important. Not having friends is very very very very very very very very bad. Killing lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of people is also very very very very bad.
Your Most Faithful Student,
Lord Frieza
