Sky grumbled. "He ruined Transmorphers!" "Yeah, but he put EXPLOSIONS everywhere, so who cares?" Patty asked happily, flipping over and making a boom sound. "I care! I grew up with that show, and it really means a lot to me." Sky said. "I understand, dear." Snowy said, nuzzling her. "You like Transmorphers?" Sky asked. "No, my favorite artist changed their primary color, and now their work is RUINED FOREVER." Snowy cried. "You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?" Sky asked sadly. "No." Snowy said. Sky sighed. "Well, at least I'l always have you guys." "Come on! No matter how far apart we are from each other- literally, in your case." Stroke said, the somewhat tiny pony nuzzling the larger Alicorn. "Our hearts are always connected." "Wow, sappy." Patty laughed. "Your body is sappy." Stroke said. Sky wasn't sure what the joke there was. "Anyway... what are the Princesses like?" Snowy asked. "Does Celestia snore? Does Twilight really kiss books, sleep with books, and eat her own books when she's done reading them, so they'll always be inside her?" "Uh... no, no, yes, and... only her favourites." Sky said. "Actually, I haven't talked to them much yet." There was a giant nuclear gold-coloured explosion in the hotel Sky had been staying at. "DARN IT!" Sky yelled angrily. "Why are so many assassins after you?" Stroke asked. "Everypony hates Alicorns." Sky said sadly. "We don't." Patty said, hugging Sky. "Thanks, guys." Sky said, feeling much better. "Who cares if some losers hate me for being an Alicorn? I am me, nobody else!" "That's the spirit." Snowy said happily. "Besides, Princess Celestia bought three hotels for me." Sky said. "So you can stay with me in them if you want. And they'll explode in three... two... one..." The three hotels did not explode like she was expecting. Instead, each rocketed into the air and flew away as deathcore was played from each one. Everypony watched the hotels fly away, eventually vanishing over the horizon. "...Buck." Sky said quietly. "Hey, wanna go back home for a day and throw apples at jerks?" Patty offered, hoping to enlighten the mood. "Do I?!" Sky asked happily, teleporting them away. The group of four friends watched the streets below, boxes of apples nearby. Patty smirked, Snowy looked graceful, Stroke grinned insanely, and Sky had her game face on, ready to deal out some sweet, apple-y justice. They finally saw a jerk, some fat mare being mean to her baby beta boyfriend. "Chucks away!" Snowy joked Canterlotishly as they threw apples at the mare, to her immediate rage. She stormed off, and the beta loser just stared there, not sure what to do without someone holding his leash. He started to walk over to his master, but an apple hit his head, and he stopped. He started to walk again, but an apple hit his head, and he stopped. The positive/negative-reinforcement dog-training he was used to thanks to her took effect, and he wandered off in the other direction, forgetting about his master. Those were the thoughts the analytical and gossipy Snowy thought. Sky, on the other hand, thought the mare was just mean, and the stallion was just dumb, though her ever-expanding Alicorn intelligence suggested the same to her. They waited some more, and saw a homeless pony wearing a fake cast and sling walking over to the street corner and sitting down, putting up a 'Broken body. Need money for operation' sign. "Liar!" Patty yelled, throwing apples at him until he 'Made a miraculous recovery' and ran off. They carried on waiting for more jerks... And then Suri Polomare, the worst pony on the planet, walked past, her poor slave Coco Pommel walking behind her. "Let the city streets flow with red!" Stroke screamed, hooves spinning like whirlwinds as she threw apples, each one hitting the horrible mare in the face. "Clog the drains with red! Let it pool up around their necks! Make them CHOKE ON IT!" "You go, mare!" Snowy encouraged, throwing apples at the stunned fatty's flank. "HOW'S THIS TASTE?!" Patty shouted, throwing one apple so well it hit her coffee cup, spilling stupid, expensive, smelly, disgusting coffee all over her and making her smell even worse. And also giving her horrible third degree burns. "Nice shot!" Sky laughed, hoofbumping her. "Check this out." Patty said, pulling out her spatula and baking the apples, causing Suri to become stuck to the spot, coated in apple pie. "Woah, you're a great fry cook!" Sky said. "Yeah!" Patty cheered. As her friends laughed and threw more apples at the stuck jerk and any more who wandered past, and Coco Pommel started to catch some apples so she could throw them at Suri herself, Sky smiled. Her friends may not have been perfect, but neither was she. And she liked her friends.
