Sweetie mime

by MidnightFMare

Real mimes ride chickens, prank pinkies, and travel through time

Running out the door, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle head towards town, and turn to the one place where they would be safe;

Sugarcube corner

going around the back, Scootalloo stops and folds up her scooter, and hides it with the wagon in a bush while Sweetie opens the door

"Lalalalalalalaaaaa~ Sing a happy song" a cheerful voice sings, followed by a bouncing mare "Sniff-Sniff! I smell grease paint..." she turns and sees Sweetie Belle, standing next to Scootaloo "Oh dear... a mime..." her mane goes flat, seeming to drag her hooves "Wonderful..."

What is her problem?

Pinkie turns towards them and sighs "By Celestia's mane I hate mimes... pointless really, mute clowns... no slapstick or anything... what a waste of talent..." she mutters, pressing a button on her oven

"Pinkie Pie? Is something wrong?" Scootaloo asks, slowly approaching the frowning pony

"Yes, your...'Friend'... Ugh... is causing me undue stress and distaction by silently insulting my life-long suffering art... Therefore, I shall rectify it" With a loud "bang" a giant cannon appears from underneath sweetie

"TOOOOOO THE MOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN!!!!!!!!" Pinkie yells, smiling evilly

(BAM!)

As the speck of filly disappears, Pinkie returns to bouncing and singing "Lalalalalala~ Sing a happy song!"

Scootaloo's right eye starts to twitch, watching the cannon recede back into the floor boards, only one phrase encompasses her confusion

"WHAT THE FLANK?!"

"Don't worry Scootaloo, She'll be back in... oh I don't know... A hundred years?" Pinkie says, lifting the filly off the floor and onto the counter

"But I'll be dead by then!" Scootaloo yells "Why would you-GRF!" pinkie shoves a spoon into Scootaloo's mouth

"If your going to yell about silly stuff, do it right: Ahem, FLYING MONKEYS!!!! AREEE FUUUUUUNNNN!!!!! TOOOOO!!!! BANANANANANANANANANANANAAAAA.... SPLIT! See? That is how you yell about silly stuff" Pinkie hops over to scootaloo and removes the spoon

"What was that for?" Scootaloo asks, when Applebloom trots into the kitchen "Sorry ahm late, ah got held up by Sweetie an' Twilight... So what is it you wanted to... Hi scoots" Applebloom greets her shocked friend

"Well, I wanted to show you how to make a time sorbet!" (Kudos to anyone who got the joke)

Scootaloo decides to leave the crazy pink mare to her own devices, and heads to the one pony who would know how to get Sweetie back

Twilight Sparkle

Or the next best thing: the library

"Hey Spike? Do you have any books on time travel?" Scootaloo asks the half-awake dragon

"Time travel is is the theoretical magic and parascience section, next to the cook books" he half-mutters, pointing

Feeling like haveing a little fun at the drake's expense, she silently trots over to him and kisses his nose, doing her best Rarity impression "Why thank you daaaarrrling... I'll just walk my flankylicious self over there" she says, laying it on thick

"RARITY?!" he gasps, sitting up "Huh? Where's Rarity?" he looks around and sighs "Why fate? Why?"

Covering her laughter, Scootaloo returns her focus to the shelf of books*

"Let's see... Time travel 101, How to deal with timetraveling party crashers, the best way to convince a past version of yourself to avoid disasters, So you created a wormhole... AHA! How to travel through time by Time Turner" She grabs the book and opens it

(2 minutes later)

"Snrrkk... mmhhmm... take that diamon... take it all... thas' right... who's a chicken now?... snnrrkkk! Mwuh? Huh? Darn it!" She slaps herself and begins reading again

(A month later)

"... Seems simple enough... Twilight was right, studying is fun... so all I need is a clock... and a box... and- OW! BRAIN CONTUSION! NEED HEADON!**" after levitating a well used bottle with her newly honed telekineses (Thanks to a small psychic tumor on her forhead from studying time travel with the attention of a goldfish***) "Stupid tumor... I should get it removed so I don't get cancer... of course my new powers would stay... hmm..." She levitates a metal book end, and twists it into a crude blade "Good bye skull-horn-tumor"

(SHINK!)

Scootaloo blinks "I was anticipating pain but nothing..." she feels her forehead "Not even a stump... well, off to rescue Sweetie from space"

(Space)

"Sweetie's log: I have spun in orbit for who-knows-how-long and honestly, I understand why Princess luna loves this veiw... But one thing still perplexes me. How am I breathing? I have tried roping myself back to land or the moon and call for help but apparently because I don't know how far away they are, I can't... what the-"

(Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Vwim-vwim-vwim-vwim-vwim-vwim... Vwim-vwim-vwim-vwim-vwim-vwim... click!)

"Hello Sweetie Belle! Sorry it took me so long to figure out how to build a time machine. As it turns out, they're easy to make and I even figured out how to make it like the doctor's type 40 time and reletive dimensions in space! How cool am I?!" Scootaloo yells, looking out from the light blue box with a rainbow light flashing

Sweetie rubs her eyes "What?! How are- What is- HUH?!"

Scootaloo nods "Yes, I know it's a bit to take in, a chicken building and piloting a space and time machine with the color scheme of the fastest and coolest mare alive. But Rarity is starting to go supernova like a class 8 binary solar system and I need to get you back to her. Also, I built a sonic baster! Well, sonic probe or screwdriver, depends on who you ask but... come on, I have food and you haven't eaten in a month" Scootaloo throws a rope around Sweetie and pulls her in

Sweetie gapes at the size of the place and looks out side, then back in "Go on, the doctor says it feels wonderful to hear sompony say it" Scootaloo grins

"It's bigger on the inside!"

"Well, I was expecting 'smaller on the outside' but... hey, it does feel good. Anyways, I have your favorite foods here and I will answer your questions once I put the girl on 'auto-flight'" Scootaloo presses several buttons and returns to Sweetie, who is stuffing her face with food

"I am here because of my time and space machine that I built after reading several books on timetravel for a month, removing several bone growths, not tumors as I first thought, and with the help of the doctor, finished it in order to save you. As to what this is, I already told you, but she doesn't have a name yet" Scootaloo levitates a cup of tea from another room "Oh, and I also learned telekineses and other magics as I went along"

Sweetie listens then drops her food "S-scoots... Y-you went through all of that to save me?"

"Of course, you're my friend. And I wouldn't be able to call myself that unless I did something" she shrugs and sips her tea "No cutie mark yet, seems kinda like a waste. I mean, I built a time and space machine and my posterior is still as baren as the surface of mercury****"

Sweetie just faints

Author's Note:

*yes, pulling pranks on spike is a favorite past time of the CMC's, one I always enjoy
** Yes, this is an actual commercial... sadly
*** Which, ironically, the memmory of one is about a month
**** This is why the cmc's are so cool, they do the impossible and still fail to get their cutie marks

4537152 and that is why it is so much fun... i really enjoy conversations like this... I know that being myself on the internet and opening my heart a little may not be the safest thing, but it makes me well with emotions so foreign to me... I like it, even though I may cry
