Pinkie…
“Yeeeeee- oh, sorry…” *AHEM* Yeeeeeeees?
…Ok, one: why did you do that?
I didn’t want to seem like a crazy pony of course!
…Right. Ok two then: why are you in Manehattan?
To finish the side quests of course!
…...Why are you doing side quests?
Well the item I need to finish the “Meet up with Applejack” quest is at the end of this string of quests.
Pinkie the only requirement to that quest was the ability to walk.
Well duh. But my path was blocked by a Filly Scout who wanted to help an old stallion cross the street, but he didn’t have the energy to make it across so the filly asked if I could get the stallion a sandwich so he could make it across and as luck would have it there was a sandwich shop nearby but the owner only took a specific kind of gem as payment and these gems are normally only found in Canterlot so I went there and found someone who sold them but they wanted a new Super Duper Magic Shovel TM but they are super-duper expensive however so I-
Hey Pinkie?
Yeeeeeeees?
Do you mind if I cut to a few other scenes until you reach Applejack’s?
Can I say meanwhile?
Yeah, sure, whatever.
MEANWHILE!
“Furthermore,” Twilight started, “going back to diagram 5-3 in reference to figure 12.06, the mane to cranial mass ratio of-“
Skip!
“And sometimes I think he doesn’t even know I’m a woman!” Dodoria cried.
SKIP!! Okay there’s got to be something I could- Oh look it’s the Ginyu Force. That’s like infinitely better... wait where Guldo?
“Alright men! Let’s show these girls-“
“Fillies.” Sweetie Belle corrected.
“Fillies how it’s done! Sound off! Ginyu!” He started, striking a pose on one knee with his arms at a slant.
“Jeice!” He shouted, making a mirrored version of his captain’s pose, forming a ‘V’ shape between them.
“Burter!” He continued, lifting his right leg while spreading his arms wide.
“Recoome!” He finished, lifting his left leg as his arms matched Burter’s.
“Together we are the Ginyu Force!” They all shouted together as the Cutie Mark Crusaders stared in awe.
“That was awesome! Not as awesome as Rainbow Dash but still pretty awesome!”
“That was some really fancy coordinatin’ ya’ll did.”
“I really like your mane!”
“Glad to hear it.” Ginyu said as they dropped their poses. “Now it’s your turn.”
“Ya’ll sure ‘bout that? Didn’t the green guy leave so he could get my cousin so we could have all of our members?”
“Yes, but if we get started now we will know where your strengths and weaknesses lie and work around them before your final member shows up. Balance is key to all of your future poses, the backbone of any organized group of individuals! Now, show me what you can do!”
The Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at each other and nodded to each other in confident determination. After a quick huddle they broke apart and were ready.
“Bet you a Spacey’s combo meal they collapse on each other.”
“Oh you are on mate!”
“Recoome wishes to raise with a milkshake that they do something impressive before collapsing.”
“You’re on!” agreed Burter and Jeice.
“Applebloom!” she yelled as she ran towards Sweetie Belle.
“Sweetie Belle!” she screamed jumping at the now airborne Applebloom.
“And Scootaloo!” now above her two comrades, used her wings to slow her decent as they got into position. As Applebloom and Sweetie Belle met their hooves connected as they gripped each other with two hooves each, Sweetie’s left and Applebloom’s right. As they touched the ground balancing on one hoof on the ground while the other was held up, their remaining hooves were spread eagle as Scootaloo landed on their connected hooves suspended in air with her forelegs crossed.
“AND WE ARE THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” The three shouted as they maintained their pose.
“THAT WAS ALL WRONG!” Ginyu shouted, startling the three fillies and causing them to fall on each other
“Hey mate? Does that count?”
“I would think so.”
“Recoome agrees.”
“Dangit!” Murmured Jeice before they all turned back to their captain.
“Wrong!? What was wrong with that!? That was awesome!”
“Ah gotta agree with Scoots on this one, what’s the problem with our pose?”
“When I create the poses my men and I use, I spend hours, days even, perfecting them, taking into account every degree, every situation and scenario, every detail, large or minute all to make sure they truly express the essence of the Ginyu Force in both spirit and heart. Which is why your pose is unsatisfactory!”
“Because we came up with it in under a minute?” Asked Sweetie Belle.
“Because it only capitalizes your spirit! A truly perfect pose must not only show what you are, but who you are. Now try again!”
“Yoohoo, captain. Guess who I got.” Shouted Guldo as he ran towards them with Babs Seed held in his hands above his head.
“Put me down, wouldya! Ah can walk on my own ya know?”
Psst.
Pinkie this scene is still going.
Well yeah but I just thought you’d want to know that I’m in Sweet Apple Acres now.
Oh? Well that’s good to hear. What took you?
Getting Babs back from Manehattan took a lot longer than I thought especially with all the trains down and the random encounters.
…are you telling me one of your quest was to kidnap Babs Seed?
Actually the term is foalnap.
…*sigh*…meanwhile…
“Mmmm. These apples are delicious!” Stated Cui.
“That’s right! The best apples in all of Equestria are right here in Sweet Apple Acres. By the way those apples you just ate will be 12 bits.”
“Alright lemme just… LOOK IT’S LORD FRIEZA!!”
Turning around Applejack said “Who?” excited to how off her wares to anyone titled ‘Lord’, however no one was there and when she turned back Cui was running away with a big bucket of apples. “Hey get back here ya no good varmint!” she screamed but before she could give chase, a pink blur crashed into his side, sending him high into the sky before vanishing from sight. It then stopped in front of Applejack.
“Hey Applejack how’s it goin’?”
“Well Ah-“
“Great! Come on we got a world to save.” Pinkie grabbed Applejack’s hoof and dragged her along but not before placing a cardboard cutout of Applejack in the orchard.
