//------------------------------// // The Gift from the Humans // Story: Princess Celestia is Just Riddled with Bullets // by Protopony350 //------------------------------// Princess Celestia was infuriated beyond imagination. "LUNA, DID YOU EAT MY 'SUGAR PUFF PRINCESS FLAKES?" she screamed, smoke shooting from her ears. Luna did that old-timey running in place gag, and sped out the door, all the while tugging on her shirt collar and saying "Nnnnng, oh boy, I'M in trouble!" Princess Celestia had no choice. "I must make a perilous trip to the Princess Store!" she said, lightning striking as she spoke those dark and mournful words. Well it was actually a really nice day. Celestia had no idea why she was so worried about going out. Probably just the lack of "Sugar Puff Princess Flakes" talking. The day started off so rotten, but soon she had a pep in her step, a pop in her hop, a dance in her prance, and a great big 'ol smile on her..... face. Suddenly, surprisingly, and without warning or foreknowledge, a group of 17 and a half (Franny is pregnant!) humans came bursting from the old mill, which had been relocated to the dead center of Canterlot. The city fell silent. Birds ceased their chirping, dogs ceased their incessant sniffing, and the city clock failed to ring. Not because it was broken, but because most clocks don't ring at 11:37 AM. "FOR THE EMPIRE!" screamed the human from Queens. To this day no one knows what "empire" he was referring to. The humans pulled out a wooden cart, and aimed the large gatling gun it was carrying directly at Princess Celestia. The silence was torn apart by the sound of exactly 287 bullets ripping through the air and directly into Princess Celestia. Not a single one missed. The human firing the gun grinned smugly at the thought of all the people who told him that video games would never teach him anything. The humans began dancing and cheering. They continued to dance and cheer until they noticed that the hole-ridden Princess Celestia had joined in on the festivities. The dancing abruptly ended. "Oh, are we done dancing?" asked Celestia, with a genuine smile on her face. "How are you alive?!?" asked all 17 humans in unison. They were all pretty creeped out that they did that. "What are you talking about?" she asked, still covered in 287 small holes. "You're SUPPOSED to be a bloody dead body!" said Ted, who was one of the humans. "Oh, I'm sorry, is this better?" and Celestia collapsed to the ground. "What are you doing, this is serious!" said Ralph, the demolitions expert. "Sorry, can't hear you, I'm *tsk* dead," she said, trying to contain her laughter. The humans were right flummoxed. At that moment Twilight Sparkle flew in, hair ablaze in anger. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE PRINCESS?" she screamed in a voice that would make Tirek himself whimper like a sad duckling who is lost and afraid and who had also lost his whole family to the snow storm, so now he must go on a grand adventure to find himself. "Oh hi Twilight, I'm dead!" said the princess gleefully. "FIRE!" said Brad, who was the hunk of the group of human extremists. Twilight was struck with 507 bullets. They wanted to make sure the job was done this time. "WHAT-" and Twilight's eyes filled with rage. "WHAT-" and the humans began to flee. "WHAT-" and the ground trembled beneath her. "WHAT.....STYLISH HOLES!" she said with a big fat smile on her big stupid face. "Hey Twilight, want to be dead with me?" asked the Princess. "In a minute, first I need to go thank these strange potato creatures for this new style!" she said. "Potato creatures?!?!?!?" asked Spuds Starcherson, the only one in the group who actually resembled a potato. Not because he actually looked like one, but because he like, totally had the ATTITUDE of a potato, ya know? "Hello, I am Princess Twilight Sparkle, it is an honor to meet you! I hope this is a beginning of a great friendship between our people!" "Hey, look, we went through a lot of trouble to lug this gun through the wormhole. Can't you at least die a LITTLE?" reasonably asked Charles. "A gun? Can I have a look?" she asked. Before anyone could say anything, she jumped up to the gun, turned it around and fired. The bullets cut through them like a hot knife through people. Only Franny survived, because, like, you can't kill a pregnant lady. I'm not that horrible. "Aw look, they're playing too!" said Celestia, who played dead even harder. Suddenly the wormhole opened, and a group of people frantically dragged the other humans through. "Princess, what was that?" asked Twilight. "New friends!" she said. Celestia stood up, dusted herself off, and looked at Twilight with a big happy smile. "Those creatures brought us a great gift," she said, pointing at the black holes all over Twilight. "It would be rude not to return the favor!" So Celestia had her guards bring the gun to Twilight's lab. They figured out how to reverse engineer the amazing device. After months of work, she was able to use particles on the gun to re-open the wormhole! That's how science works right, you just dust for particles? "MY LITTLE PONIES, TODAY IS A GREAT DAY IN OUR HISTORY! TODAY WE SHALL OPEN THE DOORWAY TO NEW FRIENDS! TODAY WE SHALL SHOW THESE CREATURES JUST WHAT WE ARE MADE OF! WE ARE PONIES! WE ARE FRIENDSHIP! GO SHOW THEM HOW MUCH WE CARE!" Speeched Celestia, the original gatling gun mounted on her back. The portal opened, and thousands of ponies poured through. They shot everyone they saw on sight. No one would escape the magic of friendship. "Princess Twilight, this is all thanks to you. You truly are the princess of Friendship," said Celestia with a wink. Twilight smiled, and blushed. This was the end of the humans race. None survived. Well, except Franny. You can't kill a pregnant woman.
