//------------------------------// // Ch.1 Repeat // Story: Repeat what now? // by Spellbounder //------------------------------// The sun shined beautifully down upon the quiet farm of Sweet Apple Acres, as a familiar purple duo went along searching for apples. A small dragon was examining apples, searching for the perfect one to snack on. “No. Nope. Nope…..” The princess of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle, sighed as her assistant Spike threw apples away like they were trash in his search for perfection. Alongside the two was an orange mare, sporting a cowboy hat as she helped gather apples. “Thank you kindly, Twilight, for helping me out. I bet Big McIntosh I could get all these Golden Delicious in the barn by lunchtime. If I win, he's gonna walk down Stirrup Street in one of Granny's girdles. Heehehee….” “No problem at all, Applejack. I'm glad the goal is lunchtime. All this hard work is making me hungry.” Spike ignored the mare’s growling stomach, laying on his friend’s back like a lounge chair. “I know, right?” “Ooh-wee, Spike. You've been lounging on my back all morning while we worked.” “Exactly. You two are taking so long, I missed snack-time.” The young mare was prepared to let the little dragon have what for, but was more concerned with her growling stomach. “Eh, I guess we better get some food.” Spike was ignoring her, still searching for a good snack. “Nope. Worm. A-ha!” In his hands was a bright, shiny apple, just waiting to be devoured. Twilight’s eyes glowed in awe, eager to have it for herself. “Oh Spike, that looks delicious.” Before the phrase, “can I have it,” could be offered, the next thing she knows, the dragon was devouring the apple like there was no tomorrow. “Spike!” “What” The shouting was about to commence, before the dragon releases a huge belch of green fire, summoning a scroll before the trio. Twilight uses her magic to pick it up, happy to see who it was from. “It's a letter from Princess Celestia.” Spike quickly grabs the letter and opens it, coughing a few times to clear his throat before talking like a fancy pants. “Hear ye, hear ye. Her Grand Royal Highness, Princess Celestia of Equestria, is pleased to announce the Grand Galloping Gala to be held in the magnificent capital city of Canterlot, on the 21st day of, eh, yadda yadda yadda, cordially extends an invitation to Twilight Sparkle plus one guest.” Both mares gasped in shock, realizing exactly how big this event really was. The event of all of Equestria! “The Grand Galloping Gala! The Grand Galloping Gala! Woo-hoo!” As the two ponies began running around in excitement, Spike belches out the tickets, shining in a golden glow. “Look, two tickets!” “Wow, great! I've never been to the gala…….wait a minute……hold on….just hold on a second. Oh Celestia! I knew something seemed familiar! This has already happened!” The excitement turned to silence, as Applejack and Spike began to look around, realizing exactly what they were doing. “Gosh darn it……she’s right!” Spike began scratching his head, looking at the gala tickets then back at Twilight. “Ok, I’m confused Twi, and I think I can understand why. You’re just so excited about the gala that you’re kinda losing your marbles Twi. It’s the gala, and I know its not my thing but….” “No Spike! This has all happened already! You and I came here to help AJ, we got that note with the tickets, then I couldn’t decide who wanted to go!” Applejack grabbed one of the tickets and looked at her barn with the look of severe confusion, unable to process what was happening. “I remember everything. I got up, had a nice breakfast, then me and Mac had that same argument about the apples. Then we made that stupid bet and you two came to visit.” “Exactly! Then Rainbow Dash fell out of that tree! Wait…uh oh…” At that moment, the blue Pegasus slipped out of the tree, landing straight on top of Twilight. “Are we talking about the Grand Galloping Gala?” “NO WE’RE NOT! NOW GET OFF ME!” Dash hated it when Twilight gets mad. She always acts so crazy when angry. She quickly gets off her friend, confused on what’s happening.” “Someone needs a nap, Ms. Grumpy. Like I was having.” “Hey wait, you said you were too busy to help me harvest apples!” “Well I was busy napping. Does that count?” “Rainbow Dash, you were busy napping six years ago! Don’t you get it? You’re reliving the same day just as we were! I got the tickets for the gala and you came down from that tree, wanting the extra ticket!” “Are you gonna give me that ticket? Because I heard the Wonderbolts are there! That would be so awesome! They perform there every year! Everyone would be watching the sky. Their eyes riveted on the Wonderbolts, but then in would fly Rainbow Dash!” Twilight’s hoof met her face, as AJ lets out a sigh. “I would draw my attention with…” “Sugercube, you would draw their attention with your super speed strut!” Rainbow stopped visualizing the event, staring at AJ with a confused look of awkwardness. “Ummm……yeah….that’s exactly what I would do….but then…then I would…” “mesmerize 'em with your Fantastic Filly Flash.” Dash turned over to Twilight, rubbing her hoof against her forehead. “Twi……can you read minds now? Cause I was gonna say that, and a lot cooler than you did!” Spike sat on Dash’s back, finishing this before she went back to her day dreaming. “And for your grand finale, the Buccaneer Blaze. The ponies would go wild.” “Girls! Spike! Have you three been spying on me!?! And how!?! I LIVE IN A CLOUD!” “Twilight, you’re right. I can still remember the taste of those tickets the first time I belched them out of me.” “Hold on! WHAT THE HAY IS GOING ON HERE!?!” “Calm down! I told you, we’re somehow reliving the day the exact same way we did when I got those gala tickets six years ago. Each of us is doing everything exactly the same as before!” “Wait a minute, oh my gosh! I remember now! We hoof wrestled for those tickets! But…come on now, this is just crazy, couldn’t this all just be a coincidence?” “Really sugarcube? How was your morning?” “Well I woke up, ate some breakfast, was suppose to go to work, but I came here instead.” “You read the Daring Do book like you do every morning?” “Why would I do that? Reading is for eggheads like…….” Dash was so shocked at the realization, her wings extended quickly in shock. “Something seriously is wrong, ponies.” “Spike, send a letter to Princess Celestia to meet at the Caste of Friendship.” “You mean the library? Cause I remember waking up in my old bed.” “Wait what now?” Twilight ran into town as fast as she could, with AJ and Dash behind her. They soon came to a stop, jaws dropped to see the beautiful library before them once again in its glory before Tirek ever even touched it. “The Library….” “It’s back…” Dash stomped her hooves in anger before releasing a disturbingly low scream. “WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS CRAZY TOOOOOOOOOOOOWN!?!” Oh Rainbow Dash, temper temper. You’ll find out soon enough. Oh dear, I shouldn’t be talking now should I? The narrator should stick to the story. The narrator should never break out of character, and the narrator certainly shouldn’t break the fourth wall….or should he? Oh My Little Repeats…My little Repeats…..Haaa..Haaaaa….HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
