//------------------------------// // Chapter 14: Puzzles are fun (and painful...puzzles are painful) // Story: Little ray of sunshine // by KDS-Writingindustries //------------------------------// As Celestia made her way through the snowy landscape, she came across two paths, and a box. She dicided to go to the path to her left, and look at the box later. There was a fishing pole in a river, when the pony lifted it up it had a picture of a weird looking monster, there was also some writing on the back of the picture. 'Call me! Here's my number'. Celestia decided not to call, she went back to the previous crossroad to look at the box that was there. There was also a sign next to it, 'This is a box. You can put an item inside and take an item ou. The same box will appear later, so don't worry about coming back. Sincerely, a box lover.' The pony looked indies the box to see a pair of tough boots, Celestia decided to just leave them their for now, as she trotted to the next area. When Celestia arrived, she saw the skeleton brothers from before, Papyrus seemed to be talking about someone. "SO, AS I WAS SAYING ABOUT UNDYNE," The taller skeleton noticed the little alicorn, he gasped and looked at his brother, while his brother was looking at Celestia, then they changed positions, again, and again, and again. Until they were basically spinning around in circles. Luckily they stopped and Papyrus spoke up. "SANS!! OH MY GOD!! IS THAT... A PONY!?!?!?!?! "Uhhhh..." Sans didn't really know what to say, "actually, I think that's a rock." The stout skeleton gestured to the rock behind the pony. Papyrus looked depressed "OH." "hey, what's that infront of the rock?" Sans pointed out. Papyrus looked to where Sans was pointing "OH MY GOD!!! He whispered to Sans "(IS... IS THAT A PONY)" "(yes.)" "OH MY GOD!!! SANS! I FINALLY DID IT!! UNDYNE WILL.. I GONNA.. I'LL BE SO.. POPULAR!!! POPULAR!!! POPULAR!!!" While Papyrus was busy gloating about how popular he would be, Celestia tried to keep a straight face in all of this, it wasn't easy. "...'AHEM' PONY! YOU SHALL NOT PASS THIS AREA! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL STOP YOU!!! I WILL THEN CAPTURE YOU, YOU WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE CAPITAL! THEN... THEN!!! I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT... IN ANY CASE! CONTINUE... ONLY IF YOU DARE!!! NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!" With that said, the great Papyrus jogged away. "well, that went well." Celestia slowly walked over to the skeleton. "You think so?" The filly asked, raising a brow. "don't sweat it Tia. i'll keep an eye socket out for ya." He walked away. Celestia was busy chuckling at the pun Sans made 'Woah, this guy is good, I have to step up my game' She walked to the next area. Celestia encountered some, interesting, monsters as she made her way through the snow, they wanted to fight at first, but though Celestia's Mercy and determination to not hurt any sort of monster, they let the pony free, as well as the filly getting more cash. The alicorn just finished fighting a dog monster that showed her a very, interesting, attack. It was a blue attack which the only way to dodge was to not move at all, (she also found dog treats that were ,burnt, for some reason). As Celestia continued, she found Sans just standing around, "Hi Sans, what are you doing?" The young pony asked. "i forgot to tell you something about my brother. he has a very special attack. if you see a blue attack, don't move, and it won't hurt you, ok." Celestia grinned "Don't worry Sans, I'll be fine, besides, I already, snow. Ehh, ehh?" Celestia joked. Sans snickered a bit. "i'd give it a 5/10" The pony wasn't happy. "Oh come on! It was the only pun I could think of!" Sans chuckled again, "don't worry Tia, it's hard to become a pun master like me, you'll figure it out" Celestia was still tick off, but let it slide, and literally slided to the next area. When the alicorn got there, she found Papyrus and Sans, they appeared to be arguing. Well, Papyrus appeared to be arguing, Sans just looked bored. "YOU'RE SO LAZY!! YOU WERE NAPPING ALL NIGHT!!" "uhhh.. I think that's called... sleeping." "EXCUSES, EXCUSES!" "*ahem*" Celestia got their attention. Papyrus spoke up first. "OH-HO! THE PONY ARRIVES! " Papyrus began to explain "IN ORDER TO STOP YOU... MY BROTHER AND I HAVE CREATED SOME PUZZLES! I THINK YOU'LL FIND THIS ONE... QUITE SHOCKING!!!" The tall skeleton joked. Celestia was not amused. "...ehh, try harder, 4/10" Sans snorted, while Papyrus looked very angry. "I HAVEN'T EVEN SAID IT WAS AN INVISABLE ELECTRIC MAZE YET!!!!" The armour wearing skeleton signed. "THIS IS WHY I NEVER MAKE PUNS" He mumbled. "WHEN YOU TOUCH THE WALL OF THIS MAZE, THIS ORB WILL ADMINISTER A HEARTY ZAP!" Papyrus explained, while holding the orb in his hand. "SOUND LIKE FUN??? BECAUSE! THE AMOUNT OF FUN YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE, IS ACTUALLY RATHER SMALL I THINK. OK, YOU CAN GO AHEAD NOW." Papyrus finished explaining, but Celestia was a bit worried, not for herself, but for who was holding the orb. She slowly inched toward the invisible maze, and Papyrus immediately shocked. The skeleton stomped his foot, "SANS!!! WHAT DID YOU DO?!?! "i think the pony has to hold the orb." "OH, OKAY" Papyrus then went through the maze to give Celestia the orb, while unknowingly, showing how to get through the maze. "HOLD THIS PLEASE!" the tall skeleton threw the orb in to the air and ran to the other side of the maze, the orb went back down, Celestia catching it with her telekinesis. "OKAY, TRY NOW!" Celestia made it through without getting shocked. "INCREDIBLE!!! YOU SLIPPERY SNAIL!! YOU SOLVED IT SO EASILY... TO EASILY! HOWEVER! THE NEXT PUZZLE WILL NOT BE SO EASY! IT IS DESIGNED BY MY BROTHER, SANS! YOU WILL SURELY BE CONFOUNDED! I KNOW I AM! NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH! " Papyrus explained as he grabbed the orb from Celestia and, moonwalked, away? Leaving Celestia with Sans "He seems like he's having fun" The alicorn pointed out. "yeah, by the way, did you see that weird outfit he's wearing. we made that a few months ago for a costume party. he hasn't wore anything else since..." Sans pointed out, making Celestia laugh like a psyco. After the laughing died down Celestia trotted to the next area.
