My Little Fonzie

Chapter 2: Open the Portal, Jump In.

“Pinkie, how long have you known about this place that even Celestia doesn’t know of?” asked Twilight as they all headed for Sugarcube Corner, “And how do you get there?”

“Put this on,” Luna said as she stuffed a straw hat on Fonzie’s head, covering his horn.

“Eyyy, this ain’t cool,” Fonzie said, ripping the hat off.

“Twilight,” said Pinkie, putting a hoof over Twilight’s shoulder, “I’ll tell you when you’re older.”

“Uh, Pinkie, I’m a Princess. I’m also two years older than you,” Twilight said, refusing to drop the subject, this time.

As Bon-Bon and Lyra trotted past, Luna shoved Fonzie out of sight into an alleyway.

“Greetings!” she said, nervously to the two fillies, whose mouths’ hung open at the sight of the alicorn princesses walking through Ponyville. Princess Celestia just rolled her eyes at her sister’s paranoia.

“Nothing is here which is worth observing,” Luna said, perspiration dripping off her muzzle, “Thou shouldst resume thine journey.”

“Yes your Highness. Come along Lyra.” Bon-Bon said.

The two ponies trotted off, arguing something about humans.

“Twilight, am I going to have to let you follow me around AGAIN? You remember what happened last time, right?” Pinkie said.

Twilight cringed as she thought of it.

“Put this on,” Luna said as she ripped a tablecloth off of a table and draped it on Fonzie. A waiter looked at her in surprise.

“Eyyyyy,” Fonzie said as he flared his wings, knocking the tablecloth off his back, “You can’t change or cover up perfection.”

“What of thine jacket?” Luna asked, “That covers you up, does it not?”

“That’s different,” Fonzie said, “That’s a part of the Fonz.”

“Ok. I’ll just assume that this is true. So ASSUMING this is true, and you really can get to this place, ASSUMING it even exists. How are you going to get there? After all Discord has no magic left.” Twilight queried.

“With something very special that can only be found here,” said Pinkie as they entered Sugarcube Corner.

She pulled off her grass skirt and hung it on a hook alongside some aprons.

With that, she began rummaging around the kitchen until she found a tin box. She opened it to reveal about a half-dozen perfectly normal-looking cupcakes.

“And what is so special about a few cupcakes?” Twilight screamed, “We came here for a way to get Discord his powers back, not a snack!”

“Oh Twilight,” said Pinkie with a knowing smile, “These aren’t just any cupcakes. They’re my special Fourth-Wall cupcakes. Watch.”

Pinkie smiled, bit a small chunk out of the cupcake and hurled it at the wall. When it hit, it splattered onto all the ponies.

“Oopsie,” said Pinkie with a quick giggle, “Wrong cupcakes. These ARE for eating.”

She then threw one of the pastries into her mouth.

“Dey musht be on a dipperent shelf,” she said, spraying the ponies with even more crumbs and frosting.

She looked in another cabinet and drew out another box almost identical to the first.

These cupcakes certainly were different.

They had rainbow colored frosting and were sprinkled with shimmery silver sprinkles.

“Oh, now those look good,” Twilight said as she reached for one.

Pinkie pulled the box away from her and said, “No can do Twilight. Do you want a black hole in your belly?”

Pinkie then bit the second cupcake and sent it flying.

As the cupcake flew towards its inevitable target, everypony braced for more crumbs in their mane.

The cupcake never impacted the wall. About half-way there it blew up, revealing a large, rainbow colored portal swirling in the center of the room. The whole process produced a kind of ‘BUMPF’ noise.

“What’s in those cupcakes?” Twilight screamed in a frantic voice.

“Oh the same stuff in all my other recipes,” Pinkie said.

A musical intro began. Pinkie started to dance.

“All you have to do is take a cup of flour, add it to the mix! Now just take a-“

“Pinkie,” Twilight interjected, “Stay on topic, please.”

“Where did that music come from anyway?” asked Richie to nopony in particular.

“Oh, right,” Pinkie said, “So I add flour, something sweet, not sour, a bit of salt, just a pinch.”

“And?” Twilight asked, attempting to hurry Pinkie along.

“Well then I add eggs, milk and lemonade.”

“You put lemonade in your cupcakes?”

“No silly, just in the lemon-flavored ones.”

“Oh, continue.”

“Then,” Pinkie said, stroking a fake goatee she had produced out of nowhere, “I add a dash of something from my little pink box.”

She then pulled a pink box about the same size as a ring case out of her mane.

“Pinkie,” Discord interrupted, “You stole my idea. What’s in this box, randomosity like in mine?”

“Nope, that would be repetitive,” said Pinkie, opening the box, “Paprika.”

“So, it’s the paprika that makes these cupcakes so special?” Twilight queried.

“It’s either that,” said Pinkie, raising her hoof over her head as if to make a point, “OOOORRRRR the fact that I put poison joke in it. I’m betting on the paprika though.”

“Well then,” said Discord, “I guess I’ll be on my merry way.”

“Oh you can’t go alone,” interrupted Pinkie, “I’ll come along to show you how to get there. First though, we’ll need something.”

She rummaged around in the kitchen until she found a big, brass key.

“We’ll need this to get in.”

“What pray tell is that Pinkie?”

“It’s the key of imagination. We need it to get to the zone named after her.” Pinkie said as she pointed a hoof at Twilight.

“How did this place get named after me?” Twilight asked.

“I don’t know Twilight. You would hate it there.”

Pinkie turned to Discord, who was wearing a rubber-ducky inner tube, a green and red Hawaiian shirt, a plastic toy camera around his neck, duck fins, a snorkel and a big floppy sun hat. Globs of sunscreen dripped off of him, onto the floor.

“Now,” Pinkie said, “When we enter this place, go straight. Hang a left at the starship Enterprise. Then go straight till you see a HUGE tree and hear the birds. Then hang an up. Keep going until you see a door floating in nothingness. (That’s the door we have to open) Sound good?”

“Let’s get going,” said Discord.

They both jumped into the portal which disappeared after them.

“Wait,” Twilight said as she turned to the Princesses, “Why couldn’t the visitors have just left through the… Uh… Cupcake portal?”

“I don’t see any reason to send them off so quickly,” Princess Celestia said, “Besides, we need Discord powered up to change Mr. Fonzie into a regular pony.”

“Very well,” Twilight said, then opened her mouth in shock, “Wait, none of my friends remember the last time humans appeared in Equestria. Does this mean I can counter the spell on forgetfulness you placed on them?”

“Indeed,” Princess Celestia replied, “However, you needn’t cast a counter spell. Just say something that will jog your friends’ memories. Perhaps your friends will once again lend you a hoof in lodging the visitors.”

“Great,” Twilight said, then turned on her hooves and sprinted towards the park. Her friends had a pet day scheduled.

“You’d best follow her,” said Celestia.

The humans-turned-ponies followed the galloping alicorn to the park.

“Come to think of it,” Celestia said, “I had best follow them too.”

Luna and Cadence flew off to the Royal Castle at Canterlot and Celestia trotted after the humans-turned-ponies who in turn, followed Twilight.


“Gee, I wonder what’s takin’ Twi so long?” Applejack said as she threw Wynonna’s rubber ball.

“She’s probably busy with her royal duties,” Rarity said as Opal played with her ball of yarn.

“Yeah, that’s expected,” Rainbow said as she and Tank hovered over the ground, “But where’s Pinkie Pie? She and Gummy never miss our pony-pet playdates. I’m giving them five more seconds then Tank and I are splitting. We’ve got cloud-clearing to do. Five, Four, Three, Two, On-”

“I’m here…” said an out of breath Twilight as she galloped up.

“Your timing is improving,” Rainbow noted.

“Pardon me Darling,” Rarity said, “But where is Owlicious? I think you missed the ‘pet’ part of our pony-pet playdate.”

“Sorry girls,” Twilight said, “But something really important came up.”

Fonzie, Richie, Ralph and Potsie ran up behind Twilight.

Celestia followed a ways behind.

“Your Highness,” Rarity said as she bent in a deep bow.

“Yer Majesty,” Applejack said, then nodded her head to the humans-turned-ponies, “Is that the really important thing that came up Twi?”

“Yeah,” Twilight said, then she addressed the rest of her friends, “Listen, do you guys remember about a month ago when Gilligan and the Skipper and the rest came to Equestria?”

Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash all shook their heads with looks of confusion.

“Their boat crashed onto Sweet Apple Acres. Ginger stayed with you Rarity. Mary Anne stayed with you Applejack and the Howells tried staying with you, Fluttershy, but they didn’t like the accommodations, remember?”

A look of discovery flashed across the four ponies’ faces.

“Why of course I remember Ginger,” Rarity said, “I designed that simply superb evening gown for her. She had exquisite taste in fashion. Goodness! How could I have forgotten her?”

“Princess Luna only meant to wipe the humans’ minds but Pinkie startled her into wiping everyponys’ minds except the princesses’. I wanted to tell you girls, but Princess Celestia told me it was best if nopony remembered them. I’ve felt so awful this past month not telling you.”

“Come to think of it,” Rarity said, “Where is Pinkie Pie.”

“She and Discord went somewhere to recharge Discord’s powers,” Twilight said.

“Where?” Fluttershy asked.

“I have no idea,” Twilight said, “After all, it is Pinkie.”

All the ponies smiled.

“Well I wonder how they are doing,” Rainbow said.


“So Pinkie,” Discord asked, “Is this the door?”

“How many other doors have you seen floating around here with no wall attached to them?” Pinkie said with a grin, “Now, here you go,” She handed Discord the brass key.

Discord took the four foot key from Pinkie and managed to fit it into the small lock which promptly ate it. The door opened and he walked through it. He turned to tell Pinkie to come on in but she wasn’t there. He scratched his head and turned around to find the pink mare waiting for him.

“How did you get there?” he asked.

“Oh silly,” Pinkie said with a giggle, “I went around.”

“Oh,” Discord said, “Why didn’t I think of that? Sorry about the key.”

“Don’t mind that. It was imaginary anyway.”


“I think that Pinkie and Discord will be just fine,” Twilight said, “But, what I need to talk to you about is them.”

She pointed at Fonzie and his friends.

“What is it Darling?” Rarity asked, then she opened her mouth in shock, “Good Gracious! Look ponies, he is a prince!”

“Eyyyy,” said Fonzie as Rarity came over to him and bowed low.

“Pardon me your Highness,” Rarity said, “But what does ‘Eyyy’ mean?”

“The same as ‘Woah’,” Richie said, not helping Rarity at all.

“I see,” said Rarity, even though she didn’t, “Welcome to Ponyville your Highness. Where do you hail from? Canterlot? I haven’t heard of a new prince being crowned.”

“That’s because he hasn’t,” Twilight said, “Ponies, we have some more human visitors.”

The group of friends started in shock.

“You mean that these fella’s aren’t from Equestria?” Applejack asked.

“Have you ever heard of humans living in Equestria?” Rainbow asked in a smart aleck manner.

“Well, if I may ask, if they are humans, then why are they ponies?” Rarity asked.

“Princess Celestia cast a shape-shifting spell on them,” Twilight explained.

The ponies turned to Celestia, who nodded.

“Well why did she make him a prince?” Rainbow asked.

“She didn’t. Discord missed. Fonzie’s ‘cool factor’ supposedly threw off his aim,” Twilight said, rolling her eyes.

“Twilight,” Fluttershy said, “Discord is reformed. He wouldn’t lie to you. He’s your friend.”

“I know,” Twilight said, remembering the time he had helped them to defeat Tyrek.

“So,” Rarity said, thinking aloud, “Pinkie took Discord somewhere to let him recharge so Discord can change the prince into a regular pony.”

“Exactly,” Twilight said.

“So how can we help ya’ out Twi?” Applejack asked.

“Thanks for asking AJ,” Twilight said, “Ideally, I need help lodging our visitors, like you did last time.”

“Umm, excuse me,” Richie said, interrupting, “But do you think you could introduce us?”

“Oh, right,” Twilight said, “So this is Rarity, Applejack or AJ, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Girls, this is Fonzie, Richie, Potsie and Ralph.”

“A pleasure,” Rarity said to the humans-turned-ponies.

“Um… hello,” said Fluttershy, hiding behind her hair.

“Howdy ya’ll,” Applejack said.

“So you call yourself cool, huh?” Rainbow said, hovering over Fonzie.

“Eyy,” Fonzie said.

“Yeah right,” Rainbow said, “I’m at least twenty percent cooler than you. Watch this.”

With that, Rainbow Dash took off, leaving a rainbow colored wake. After she had soared about a hundred feet over head, she plummeted towards the ground. After a few seconds, a Mach cone began to form around her. The cone became more and more stretched until Rainbow slipped ahead of it. An earth-shattering KABOOM! sounded. Behind Rainbow was a gigantic explosion of color. She sped around Ponyville a few times until she had slowed down enough to land.

“What was that?” Richie asked in awe.

“A sonic rainboom,” Twilight said, “When a Pegasus like Rainbow Dash gets going fast enough, a sonic boom and a rainbow can happen all at once.”

“What’s a sonic boom?” asked Potsie with a blank stare.

“I’m the only Pegasus to ever be able to do a sonic rainboom,” Rainbow Dash said with a smirk, “So Mr. Cool, beat that.”

“Prince Cool, Rainbow,” Rarity corrected.

Without a word, Fonzie took off and went up to the same height Rainbow had soared to. He looked down, smirked and zoomed towards the ground.

Just like with Rainbow Dash, a Mach cone began to form around the Fonz. One difference was that while Rainbow had been really exerting herself, Fonzie wasn’t even sweating. Just like Rainbow before him, Fonzie slipped past the cone, creating a gigantic explosion and boom. But instead of rainbows, the sonic boom created ice, snow and sleet. It stretched across Ponyville ruining what would have been a lovely summer day.

“HE STARTED WINTER EARLY!!!!” Twilight screamed.

The Fonz came in for a landing.

“And that’s what I call, a sonic coolboom,” he said to the crowd of shell-shocked ponies.

“Thank goodness,” Twilight said as she noticed that the snow was already beginning to melt, “I was afraid you had ruined our entire ecological system.”

“OK,” said Rainbow, grinning, “He can stay with me.”

“Thanks Rainbow,” said Twilight, “Richie, would you like to stay in my castle?”

“Sure thing,” Richie said.

“Would you like to come and stay in my cottage?” Fluttershy asked Potsie.

“Ok,” Potsie said.

“Now, there is just the question of where will Ralph stay,” Twilight said.

Before anypony could volunteer, a loud voice came out of nowhere, “Can he stay with me? OH PLEEEAASSEE Twilight?”

The voice had a slightly Pinkie-ish tone to it.

“Pinkie? Is that you?” Twilight asked, then shook her head, “Of course it isn’t Pinkie. She’s off somewhere in a zone named after me with Discord.”

“No I’m not,” said Pinkie, as she and Discord came out of a portal into Ponyville.

“But I thought you were recharging Discord’s batteries!”

“Oh silly, we finished that a long time ago.”

“Yes,” said Discord, “That place was so saturated with radomosity that I recharged almost instantaneously. It was all very strange. I could do whatever I wanted to the people. No one did anything besides a chap in a black suit. But all he did was narrate. I think he even enjoyed the anarchy I caused. It was all quite enjoyable. I’m hoping to go back as soon as possible, in fact-”

Twilight interrupted Discord with, “Look, you can tell us all about that after you change Fonzie into a regular pony.”

“Very well,” Discord said with a disappointed look on his face.

He turned to Fonzie and snapped his fingers.

There was a blinding flash of light and it soon dimmed to reveal Fonzie, completely unchanged.

“Why aren’t you a griffon?” Discord asked in astonishment.

“Eyyyy, I was ready for you that time,” Fonzie said with a smirk.

“But,” said Twilight, contemplating how he could have countered Discord’s magic, “You have to be able to blend into a crowd.”

“The Fonz don’t ‘blend in’,” Fonzie said.

“Hey!” yelled an orange-maned mare, “Ponies, look. It’s an Alicorn. It’s a PRINCE!”

A stampede started. Destination: Fonzie.

“Carrot Top, Darling,” said Rarity as she and her friends tried to hold back the advancing crowd, “He’s not an alicorn. He’s a… a…”

“A Pegasus with plastic horn attached to his head?” Fluttershy suggested.

“Exactly,” Rarity said, “He’s dressed up for, uh?”

“Night Mare Night?” Rainbow offered.

“Yes but he, uh?”

“Isn’t from around here so he got the date mixed up. He’s actually from Saddle Arabia and he had never heard of Night Mare Night beforehoof. So he just decided to dress up every day so he never misses the actual day!” Pinkie said, hopping up and down.

“Uh, exactly,” Rarity said, accepting Pinkie’s hairbrained theory, “That makes sense right?”

“NO,” Carrot Top yelled, “He’s an honest-to-Applejack prince!”

“Woah!” Fonzie said as he noted the hordes of ponies gathered around him, “Chicks didn’t dig me this much even back home!”

“ENOUGH!” Celestia said as she stepped out into view from behind Discord.

The ponies stopped and fell to the ground in low bows of admiration. Discord pulled a trumpet out of the air and gave it a resounding blast, which then dissolved into a mariachi band complete with Pinkie on guitar.

“I had hoped that our visiting dignitary would be treated with more respect than this-” she stopped and gave Discord and Pinkie a hard look.

They stopped playing.

Twilight looked up at her in bewilderment. Celestia winked back at her and continued.

“I would like that you all treat these foreign visitors as if they were just regular ponies.”

The gathered ponies nodded their heads in obedience.

“Very well,” said Celestia.

She turned on her heels and, as she walked away, whispered to Twilight, “Luna and I shall meet you and your friends in your castle in five minutes.”

With those instructions, Celestia sprang into the sky and flew off towards Canterlot.

The ponies, unaware of Celestia’s instructions to Twilight, glanced at Fonzie and went back to their ordinary day’s work. They were all still excited that there was a prince in town, but they were not about to disobey the princess.

“Quick everypony,” Twilight said to her friends and the visitors, “Celestia wishes to see us in my castle in five minutes.”

The group set out through Ponyville with Discord and Pinkie following in a tugboat. Don’t ask anypony how he sailed it on land but he did.

Carrot Top rolled her eyes as she listened to the fading sound of the mariachi duo.
