//------------------------------// // Chapter 11 // Story: Princess Sky Stormer // by Skymaster9929 //------------------------------// Twilight and Sky went together, because they were Alicorns. Rainbow decided she liked Patty, and Pinkie wanted in on that. As a fellow artist, Rarity decided to go with Snowy and Stroke. Applejack and Fluttershy were hoping to wait until the end and go with whoever was left, but they decided to go along with Rarity and Argent to even things out. The three artists decided they'd go to an art exhibition, and Applejack and Fluttershy decided they'd rather be anywhere else but there, going along with Rainbow's group. Rarity complained about feeling alone, and whispered to Applejack that she really didn't want to be left alone with Stroke. Sighing, Applejack went with Rarity. Rainbow's group had no idea what they were doing, until Patty had a brilliant idea: Go to Open Mic Night at some random bar and see what happens. And then they told Sky to do a poetry reading there, and after half an hour of yelling and begging, they finally got her to agree to perform. And so, two out of three groups found themselves in one nightclub, as a comedian pony walked on stage. The comedian was yellow, and had white and red clown face paint on. Twilight and Sky sat together in a front-row seat while getting drinks on the house, because they were Alicorns. Rainbow sat with Patty and Pinkie elsewhere in the crowd's left side, eating free peanuts while sipping fancy martinis Sky paid for. "Are you ready for a show?" The comedian pony asked into his microphone. "You know who was ready last night?" Patty yelled. "Your mother!" "Oh no." Sky whispered, head in her hooves as the crowd laughed. "What's wrong?" Twilight asked. "They're doing the thing." Sky said sadly. "Haha, it's great that we have some comedians in the house. But can we save it for when it's your turn?" The comedian asked. "And now, for our first act... Giggling Gallop, a comedian he can make anything funny!" The crowd of ponies laughed and cheered as a green stallion with a yellow mane and an arrow-head-thing walked on stage, giggling. "Alright, who's hungry?" He asked. "Your mother!" Patty yelled. Giggling Gallop laughed. "I guess I walked right into that one. Now, who's ready for some laughs?" "Your mother!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "Great, now she's doing it." Twilight said sadly. Giggling Gallop laughed. "Yeah, alright. Now, give me a scenario." "Seven eleven!" Patty shouted, the date the Changeling Siege of Canterlot happened. Everyone was quiet. "Alright, how about something... less recent?" Giggling Gallop asked uncomfortably. "Adolf Hoofler!" Patty yelled. "We're getting a lot of requests from this side. How about something from the beautiful mares in front?" Giggling Gallop asked, the spotlight moving to Twilight and Sky. It took them a moment to realize he was talking to them. "Um..." Sky said. "Well, haha, uh..." Twilight said. "I, uh..." Sky said. "Books?" Twilight asked. "Birds?" Sky asked at the same time. They looked at each other, and back at the comedian. "Books?" Sky asked. "Birds?" Twilight asked at the same time. "Let's give it up for our Princesses, everypony!" Giggling Gallop said sarcastically, and everypony laughed at them. "Our latest Princesses, hot out of Celestia's bedroom. And if you thought they'd help get stuff done... HA! They can't even agree on what they want me to make fun of!" Sky felt awful, and flew away, sending tables flying. "Sky!" Twilight yelled, flying after her. "Oh, no, the Princesses are gone! Whatever shall we do? Oh, right, the same thing we always do. Work!" Giggling Gallop said, making the crowd laugh. "I don't like him any more." Pinkie Pie said. "I guess working at night runs in the family!" Patty shouted. "Yeah, enough with the Your Mom jokes. They're not funny." Giggling Gallop said flatly. "Then they're perfect for you, jackass!" Patty shouted. "Uh... I'm an Earth Pony, and I find that term offensive." Giggling Gallop said. "Then again, I bet jackasses wouldn't be too happy at being called Earth Ponies!" The crowd laughed, and Patty grit her teeth. "Any ideas on how to beat him?" Pinkie asked. "I don't know, Sky usually does the thinking. I just do whatever my gut tells me, and right now, it wants to beat his out of him." Patty said. "I have an idea." Rainbow said, walking over to the right side. "So, anypony here from Trottenham?" Giggling Gallop asked. Everypony was quiet. "GOOD!" Giggling Gallop laughed, and so did the crowd. "But seriously, seriously... is anypony here a Changeling? I tell ya, there's a reason why those bugs have so many holes. And Zebras, do we have any Zebras in the audience?" Some Zebras cheered. "Wow, you even sound dumb when you cheer. What else have we got. Are there any Seaponies in the audience?" Nopony cheered. "Of course not, they don't exist! Just like Princess Celestia's diet! Have you seen her flanks? Forget Princess Mad-Eye Moody, I think we all know who the real Princess of the Moon is." Everypony laughed. "And what about that new Alicorn? Sky Stormer? Her wings are so big, I'm amazed she could fit through the door! Then again, I hear she's so slow, she wouldn't miss much anyway! Now, somepony, give me a famous celebrity." "Discord!" Rainbow shouted. "Great! Who's he with?" Giggling Gallop asked. "Your mother!" Pinkie yelled. Everypony laughed. "Come on, I'm trying to make a comedy here." Giggling Gallop complained. "No you're not! You're just insulting random people!" Pinkie yelled. "You're the worst comedian ever!" "No, you are." Giggling Gallop said. Pinkie got dangerously angry, her eyes turning red. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" Pinkie jumped over to him, and there was suddenly a frying pan in one hoof and a whisk in the other. Her pan hit his mini-stallions, her whisk hit his head, and he hit the ground when she threw him out of the building with what some would call a Suplex.
