Fluttershy's gone crazy! Quick, call for help! There has to be at least one on-duty gardener that will be willing to help. And by help, I mean he kinda just gives a look of "I'm not getting into this." and then walks away whistling a tune.
Sweet Luna she's gone crazy! Why cruel world must you corrupt the most innocent of the mares! WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN RAINBOW DASH!
As you're blaming the world for Fluttershy's corruption, you realize that she's getting closer and you really don't want to know what insane Fluttershy has planned for you. For all you know, she'll take you back to her shed and chainsaw your skull in half!
...
Okay, maybe you're overacting a little bit, but you still have a crazy mare to deal with. You try to get out of the net you're stuck in, but whoever this 'Acme Inc." is they did a good job on making this net as you can barely move a inch. You sigh in annoyance at your failed attempts of escaping, so you decide you should do what any other changeling (or any creature honestly) would do if they were in this situation...
You scream for your mommy.
"HELP, SOMEPONY HELP ME. THIS INSANE PONY THAT WAS ONCE REALLY NICE BUT HAS LOST HER MARBLES IS GOING TO GET ME. PLEASE, ANYPONY, HELP!"
You continue to scream for your life in the vain attempt to get help as Fluttershy gets closer and closer. As you're screaming, you can't help but think
You'd think there would be at least one gardener on duty tonight, but nooooooooo. The one night someling get caught in a net and is about to be done bodily harm too, none of the bucking gardeners are on duty!
Just as you are about to give up hope on ever being rescued, you see a miracle. The one gardener on duty tonight is looking over in your direction with a confused look on his face. Deciding to not take this saving grace for granted, you shout over to him...
"OI GARDENER, DON'T JUST STAND THERE. HELP! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M ABOUT TO DIE OR THE VERY LEAST GET HURT BADLY BY THIS INSANE MARE!"
Sadly, the gardener just looks at you for a few more seconds, before he gives you a look that says 'I'm not getting involved' and then he begins to walk off while whistling a tune. You just stare in shock at his retreating form. You then start to think in a angry tone
That jerk, doesn't he know to help a fellow citizen when they're in need!
Deciding to voice your anger, you shout at the gardener...
"HEY, GET BACK HERE YA JERK! DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S COMMON COURTESY TO SAVE PONIES WHO NEED YOUR BUCKING HELP?! IF YOU DON'T GET BACK HERE AND SAVE ME SO HELP ME I'LL..."
Your threatening falls on deaf ears as the gardener turns a corner and disappears. You sigh in anger and mumble to yourself,
"I don't know why, but something tells me that lady luck has something to do with this."
You stop your angry mummbling when you see Fluttershy getting closer. You start to panic and begin to think that your life as you know it is over, when...
You suddenly have the instinct to take on an Australian accent and say "here we see a wild Fluttershy, see the rabid look in her eyes? The foam around her mouth, these are both signs to...RUN!", you say, you jump up as if to dcamper away before you remember that you're still in a net." Riiiiiiiiight......so Flutters, how ya been. I like the dress?" You say nervously as she approaches slowly.
You suddenly have the urge to take on a Hoovestralian accent and to talk like one of those Ponies on 'Mare vs. Wild'. Seeing as how you're most likely gonna die soon by one of your few friend's hooves (ironic right?), you decide to go ahead and give in to the urge. So you clear your throat and say in an Hoovestralian accent,
"Here we see a wild Fluttershy. Normally timid, sweet and cute, but now in an entirely different state. See the rabid look in her eyes? The foam around her mouth? Normally, I'd go poke it wit a stick, but now those are cues to RUN!!!"
You then jump and try to run, when you remember that you're in a net, so you just sigh and look over to Fluttershy and say in a nervous tone,
"Riiiiiiiiight... so Flutters, how ya been. I like the dress?"
You say that last part in more of a question then a statement. As you reach your panic max level, you blurt out...
Your big mouth saves you for once by blurting out something which makes her blush.
Quote: "Err, nice dress! It fits your, um, nature perfectly; very pretty! Ehehehhe..." you nervously laughed. A once timid pony with the eyes of a predatory beast wearing a delicate green dress can put things to perspective though... This is yet another moment where you're glad that you're lucky enough to not have a negative relationship. Well, ironically, with your luck, it may have to change!
Fluttershy It's me, Bugzy! I'm sorry I chased your friends around while on fire! Please don't skin me and turn me into a stylish coat and matching hat!"
To which she just looks at you, horrified.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry Bugzy. I was just trying to trap some of these animals so that they couldn't get away while I smother them with love. I didn't even know you were at the gala, but since you are you can help me tie them up, and we can force them to love us together."
And then it's Bugzy's turn to look horrified, and thinking something along the lines of "They taught us to do that in changeling school. It was bad and they should feel bad. Now Fluttershy's doing it to helpless animals! WHAT'S HAPPENED TO HER?!
"WAIT! Fluttershy, it's me, Bugze! See the black hooded coat! I'm sorry I chased your friends around while on fire! Please don't skin me and turn me into a stylish coat and matching hat!"
Fluttershy ignores your pleas and continues to walk over towards you. You start to panic even more then before, so you decide to get desperate and use the last thing you think would work...
"Err, nice dress! It fits your figure- I mean nature! Yeah, nature perfectly, very pretty! Yeah, nice and green. Green really is your color you know, you should wear it more often. I bet all the stallions would want you if you did if they don't already, and what sane stallion wouldn't after your Vanner's Secret magazine- which I totally didn't seek out and gawk over while noling was looking, eheheheh... PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!"
You can't help but think after you said that,
You know, seeing a once timid pony who now has the eyes of a predatory beast wearing a delicate green dress can sure put things in perspective.For some reason this reminds me of how I'm glad that I'm lucky enough to not have a negative relationship wit- Why do I get the feeling that I just jinxed myself?
You snap out of your musing when you see Fluttershy blush and the look of insanity slowly leaves her eyes as they slowly fill with horror. She then gasps and says.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry Hoody. I was just trying to trap some of these animals so that they couldn't get away while I smother them with love. I didn't even know you were at the gala, but since you are, you can help me tie them up, and we can force them to love us together."
The look of insanity returns to her eyes when she says that. You blink ounce at her statement, then twice, the a third time to make sure you're not in some sort of nightmare. Then, you suck in a lot of air and scream at the top of your lungs...
"WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!"
Fluttershy is rather... upset, but you suddenly remember something you overheard while waiting in that really long line about how the private garden acts as a sanctuary for animals that were victims of poachers, wildlife smugglers, and abuse (thus explaining why they're so shy around ponies). You tell Fluttershy this which calms her down and makes her feel guilty, but you cheer her up like the friend you are.
After you slowly process the fact that Fluttershy pretty much just asked you to do what most changelings are trained to do, you can't help but think that the way Fluttershy is acting makes Pinkie look sane. Suddenly, you randomly flash back to when you were stuck in that Luna forsaken long line. You overheard some ponies behind you discussing something that has alot of relevance to this situation. Deciding that it would be the animals (and your's) best interest, you tell Fluttershy,
"Uh, Fluttershy. This garden is a sanctuary."
The insanity disappears from her eyes as she replies, "What?"
"Yeah... The animals is this garden were rescued from poachers, animal smugglers, and abuse by the Royal Guard. That's why they're so nervous and timid around ponies..." For creatures who boast about there peaceful and kind nature, they sure do have alot of ponies and do alot of things that would prove that wrong. you think as Fluttershy looks horrified and says,
"The poor things... What was I doing..."
She then starts to break down crying. You, being the kind friend you are, try to cheer her up by saying,
"Hey, don't be so sad. At least you're not stuck in a net in the castle where you could be capture at any moment... oh wait."
You start to feel dread as you realize that your loud scream from before probably attracted some unwanted attention (for you at least). Fluttershy gasps in shock before saying,
"Oh you're right Hoody, if I don't get you down now, who knows what will happen. Don't worry, I'll get you down soon."
Just as she's about to cut the rope with a sharp rock nearby, the Worst. Possible! thing! Happens (meanwhile, Rarity sneezes, and she looks around and says "Somepony is stealing my catchphrase!"),
Before Fluttershy can let you out of her net, Flash Sentry jumps out of the broken window with Twilight Sparkle. "And then the pink one sent him flying out here with..."
"YOU," they say in unison.
You chuckle with gallows humor. "Has... uh, has anyone said you two make a cute couple? Seriously, you're already finishing each others' sentences." They take a step forward at the same time. "Hey! Hey! Right there! You're practically dancing! Why don't you take the lovely lady for a spin on the dance floor, hot shot?" They ignore you. "Um, didn't we have some fun, though?"
Twilight's eye twitches. "If you make one... more... reference I will flay you alive. With my mind."
Fluttershy gasps. "Y-You're threatening to flay ponies alive now?"
"I must be a customer unhappy with the information I received." You shut your mouth a split second too late.
Twilight's other eye twitches. "I warned you..."
Fluttershy leaps into action, by which I mean she takes advantage of the standard safety feature on all Acme equipment. She pulls the net back and launches you into the air like a slingshot.
Flash Sentry jumps out of the broken window where you were shot out off by Pinkie, with...*sigh*...Twilight Sparkle. They appear to be talking about your concert and Flash is just finishing his tale
"And then Miss Pie sent him flying out here with..."
Flash stops speaking as he sees you and gets into a combat-ready stance as he glares at you and says,
"Look out Miss Sparkle!"
Twilight looks confused and startled by his actions, before she sees you too and copies Flash's actions. They then shout at the same time,
"YOU!"
You wave awkwardly while chuckling with gallows humor before you nervously say,
"Has... uh, has anyone said you two make a cute couple? Seriously, you're already finishing each others... sandwiches!"
Kill the waifu-stealer...
You shake your head to get rid of what feels like angry fanboys whispering as Flash and Twilight take a step forward at the same time as Twilight says,
"Nice work Fluttershy. Now we can finally bring this fugitive to face the Princess's justice!"
You to smile cheekily and say,
"Hey! Hey! Right there! You're practically dancing! Your mental synchronization, Can have but one explanation..."
Kill it with fire! He sucks as bad as the Equestria Girls sequel which hasn't even come out yet but we still hate it...
"SHUT THE BUCK UP!!!" you scream causing shocked reactions from Fluttershy, Flash, and Twilight as Fluttershy says,
"Um... We didn't say anything."
You chuckle nervously and say,
"Oh, I wasn't talking to you guys, I was talking to the fanboy whispers in my head."
Twilight's eye twitches in annoyance and says,
"If you make one... more... reference I will flay you alive.
She charges up her horn as she continues,
With my mind."
Fluttershy gasps in horror and says,
"Y-You're threatening to flay ponies alive now?"
Twilight looks over to her in shock, almost as if she's surprised that she said that, but before she can respond, you say,
"Well, ex-cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUse ME, princes-!
You clap you hooves over your mouth a split second too late and think in horror,
Curse my reference-spraying mouth! Why can't you keep shut for once?! Plus she's not even a princess! That reference makes no sense!
Flash chuckles at the reference, but shuts up as soon as Twilight glares at him. She then looks back at you and says in anger, horn glowing,
"I warned you..."
Before she can go though with her threat, Fluttershy leaps into action by taking advantage of the standard safety feature on all Acme equipment. And by that, you mean she pulls the net back and launches you into the air like a catapult as you scream,
"AAAH HOOO HOOO HUEY!" as you fly up into the air.
As you finally slow down in midair, you get out of the net and sigh in relief... That is until you look down and see that it's a forty foot drop. You give a annoyed sigh while pulling out a sign out of nowhere that says in big bold letters...
'MY LIFE SUCKS SOMETIMES'
You then fall....
ONE 30 FOOT DROP LATER
You finally see the castle after falling for awhile and you see that you're heading straight towards a glass window that looks like this. You see the outline of a pony through the window and considering that you're heading right towards it and probably gonna end up hitting him, you scream...
"LOOK OUT BELOW!"
*CRASH THUD*
Sadly, the guard doesn't move in time, so you end up smashing right into him, knocking him out in the process, and leaving you with a huge bump on your head (the armor they wear is no joke). After shaking your head to dull the pain, you realize that you are on the other side of the castle. You also appear to be in a super long hallway that stretches for what seems like miles and you recognize that the guard you slammed into is the same Royal Guard Earth Pony you accidentally knocked out twice already (during the Canterlot Invasion and during your first visit to the castle).
Luna, this guy's luck is almost as bad as mine..., You can't help but think before you add,
Oh well, CASTLE STEALTH TIME!
HALF AN HOUR LATER
As you skulk through the upper floors, you come across a large room populated by precisely 137 Royal Guards. You have no idea how you know that, but you've heard that pure fear tends to trigger adrenaline, so your brain may have had more time to count.
The only exit you see is on the other side of the room. The only sound you hear is drunken singing, which gives you an idea...
You step back and hide in the hallway. After clearing your throat, you shout:
"LONG LIVE THE SOLAR EMPIRE!"
You hear half the crowd cheer, and half the crowd curse. You immediately throw your voice and shout again:
"NEW LUNAR REPUBLIC FOREVER!"
Again, you hear half cheers and half curses. Then you hear nothing but barroom brawling.
After sneaking around for a hour, you come across a large door. You press your ear against the door and hear what sounds like 137 drunk voices coming from the other side. You have no idea how you know that, but you've heard that pure fear tends to trigger adrenaline, so your brain may have had more time to count. You open the door a crack to see a hall where the only exit is on the other side of the room, which is filled with half day guards and half night guards. You also start to hear more clearly, and you can now hear some drunken singing. Suddenly, you get a great idea that will hopefully work. You quickly sneak into the room and hide in a dark corner. After clearing your throat, you shout...
"LONG LIVE THE SOLAR EMPIRE!"
You hear half the crowd cheer, and half the crowd mutter/curse. You immediately dart to the other side of the room while they're cheering/cursing and shout again...
"NEW LUNAR REPUBLIC FOREVER!"
Again, you hear half cheers and then,
"Bah, Celestia spanked the flank of your princess a millennium ago!"
"So? Luna's hotter with flanks that won't quit!"
"Blasphemy! Celestia's hotter because she controls the SUN!!!"
""Your pun's bad and you should feel bad, which you will when I smash this bucking chair on your skull!!!"
*Smash, Miscellaneous brawling noises*
Chuckling at the fact that your plan worked, you begin your dodging of pastries, mugs, bodies, and chairs as you make your way to the other side of the hall. After having a little bit of fun by throwing a few pies into some of the guard's faces (while nyuking like a certain Stooge), you finally get into the other side of the room and you enter the door on that side...
After all that, you finally find Cadance (if you decided to forget to change out of your awesome hooded coat, the love goddess blasts you on sight)
"Halt, scoundrel!"
Heheheehe, good news and bad news...
Good news: You finally found Cadance.
Bad news: She's pointing her glowing horn at you with intent to kill (or at the very least hurt... ALOT) and you still have the black hooded coat on.
...
*gulp*
What do you do?
The title did not lie; I loved it!
Duct Tape is by far the most useful item.
Scoundrel? Do we even still use those terms?
Oh, right—angry alicorn about to blow your head off. Gotta think fast! You're still inside the room filled with an on-going brawl for best princess. Wait, speaking of guards, does Cadance even have her own branch of Royal guard? Not important at the moment, brain!
Okay, you don't want to risk revealing yourself to the strong and bulky, and possibly bloodthirsty, Gentlecolt's behind you, so you gotta convince her to let the interrogation ensue else where. Somehow. You could maybe pull out your 101 Guide for Gentlecolt's to boost your speech level to +10, but you don't intend to test your luck by making sudden movements. If, at all.
Well, most of your options involve a fate about being smothered in pain if not done right, so may as well take it like a man.
One of your many ridiculous options: Tackle her through the door, shut it, and reveal yourself before you die a horrific death.
Oh, and if a guard walks in on your peaceful conversation afterwards, have Cadance knock him out. If you plan on using him for impersonation just incase, wrap him up with duct tape.
---------/----------
I still don't know what made my answer so special compared to the ones that have the same answer and are actually funny. Oh well.
As for the new question: I would say duct tape—because, well, duct tape—, but if it's a legitimate choice, not counting Nightshade (the answer could be her for all I know) it had to be the "101 Gentlecolt's Guide". There's so much random dialogue and situations that the possible options for this thing doesn't stop.
Take off the hood before she blast you into next week. And tell her it's you (hopefully, her opinion of you hasn't changed).
Ermm.... Whereever did your daughter go?
4841670 Still wandering/eating the gala.
That had me laughing like a maniac for a solid minute in a way that would put even Ichigo to shame.
As for the most useful item, I'd have to say that (while this is not technically an item, so it probably wouldn't count) his (un)natural healing factor must be the thing that has kept him alive the most through all this. To recap just a few moments; Bugzy has survived a bolder to the head, been curb-stomped by a dragon, zapped by Twilight, taken a cabbage to the manliness, been trampled by buffalo, bucked upside the head by Braeburn, zapped by Twilight again, had his head soccer-balled by ponies, and blasted through a window by pinkie.
And even after all that, he's still able to curse Lady Luck like a pro.
======
Throw off your hood and yell "Wait don't taze me bro! It's me Bugzy, see?"
To which Cadence replies "I know, and my statement still stands. Now get on the ground."
"What? Cadence why, I thought we were friends."
She glares at you and says "We were friends. But no friend of mine would have tried to destroy Apploosa, kidnapped Celestia's guards, AND attacked Ponyville with a pack of Diamond Dogs! I don't know why I ever trusted you before, "Hooded Offender" but you're no friend of mine. Now surrender."
*Proceed to break down sobbing and begging for her to help you, while also blubbering incoherently about how you just wanted to be a hero and you just don't know what went wrong. (and somewhere Derpy sneezes 'cause you stole her catchphrase)*
My answer, Nightshade. Have crumbs on the floor and your a poor misunderstood changelig? Have a nightshade suck them all up. Cleaning out the fridge party? Invite Nightshade. Need to beat six badass mares with rage fueled death smoke? Put Nightshade in a random mare's cart and wait...and wait....keep waiting...oh look, there's the Ursa. "But..." Shush customer, this is the part where Nightshade dies. " But isn't that her in the ice cream shop?" No shush, stop speaking. " No I'm pretty sure that's her" AHHHHH THE CUSTOMER HAS DEVOLOPED A CONSCIENCE OF ITS OWN! EVERYLING RUN! But first call the number at the bottom of your screen to get your free Nightshade S&H only 99999999999999.99 bits...per ounce
After all of this, he really need to learn how to 'dodge & block' from 'Kungfu for dummies'.
(and since he already could free-runing like an assassin it wouldn't have mattered in learning that)
Not knowing what else to do you close your eyes and wait for your demise. You reopen them and look up to see that there is a blue oval above your head and Cadence's horn is now glowing orange. She points her horn to your feet and fires, then...you fall...and fall...and scream like a filly...and fall and all you hear is maniacal laughter. "Ah Bugze, I wish I could a seen your face, you thought I was gonna blast you", however all you heard was "face...blast you" which just caused you to screamed more as your brain blended into a snothie like paste. You then proceeded to throw up that green stuff that changelings throw up which only causes Cadence to step back in disgust trip over something and accidentally shoot an orange portal straight up...towards the moon.
Two Minutes Later
You finally see the castle in your decent from the moon (where you met some weird robots, one had a weird accent and one was obsessed with space) and due to Yeats if training in falling, you just sit back and say "oh poop". After crashing through several floors of the castle you end up with your head through cadence's ceiling where she calmly looks up from brushing her mane and says, " Hey Bugze, how was your fall? I bet it was.....out of this world" she says while giving smiling at you with a grin so cheesy you think you smell mozeralla.
4841955
*smoothie
*years
Also, please, let him make some more progress in being considered good in the eye of ponies. A character with whatever actions he does make absolutely no better for himself (pointless struggle) will get old soon enough. Yes, I understand it's for the comedic aspect but at least let there be a sliver of light at the end of the dark tunnel.
You get only one syllable out (Something like "Um...", "Er...", or "Hi...") before Cadance blasts you into a shelf.
She asks how you got past her guards and you point to the hall full of unconscious guards (needless to say, this does NOT improve your situation)
Here's a list of suggestions for when you finally get Cadance to calm down:
-Ask her where's Princess Luna (she's the biggest danger to Nightshade.)
-Ask her why Luna wants Nightshade dead.
-Ask her what is Nightmare Moon
-Ask her what the hay is happening with you (you don't need/can't feed on love, you've survived and shurgged off what would cripple or even kill most ponies, and there's also the evil whisper when you get too angry)
-Give necklace to Cadance
--NOTE: May result in misunderstanding with Shining Armor, but quickly preserve her honor by using necklace to re-attempt "hostage bluff" plan (which fails and leads to wacky chase)
BTW, we've gone a whole episode without abusing Blueblood. Let's fix that shall we? And where's Nightshade?
Most useful item is "The Inventory" for storing all your items and being a safe hibernation bed for Nightshade
--------------------
I got forever's legs and am following your lead
*Nonchalantly shoots a surviving Dalek with Wildey*
4841728 when i read that i nearly threw my computer (My Ipad) out the window yellling "KILL IT WITH FIRE"
You yell "hold on a sec! hold your fire! I can explain! its me Bugze!"
she lowers her horn and allows you to explain.
you proceed to explain what has happened from the last time you saw her, but while you were explaining, Lady Luck trolls you yet again by the mane six (excluding fluttershy) and princess celestia barge in, they think your trying to harm the princess, yadda-yadda-yadda, (cue funny chase scene with yakety sax playing) then you make them flinch by yelling "I'M FIRIN MAH LAZAR, BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
and make an illusion of a big ass lazer flying toward them. with that time bought, you give cadence a note about meeting her at his cave, take your inventory (nightshade went in to scavenge for the pie) and jump out a conveniently placed window and yell "YOLO"
tbh bugze's most useful item is either his RCV or his "look a distraction" trick. its gotten him out of countless dangerous situations
4841728
Wait he had fast healing? I thought DWC just used his narrator powers to fix him up.
4842353
........ This isint a pewdiepie lets play...... Or a ytp......... Unfortunately.............
4841955
Obvious reference is obvious.
4841950
Nah bro hes going by assassins creed rules, he just needs to learn the counter kill and air assassination.
4841682
She EATING THE F###ing gala!!!?? Why is no one stopping this!!?? Bad bugze bad!!
Well his luck is his most usefull item.
Also the only way bugzes getting out of this one is to be the confident cocky ice cold pimp alfa male changeling over flowing with swag that he is .
Candace hoverd ovey you menacingly her horn glowing.
"OH SWEET LUNA DON'T KILL ME I DIDDINT MEAN TO MESS UP THE BUFFET TABLE OR PEEK AT LUNA TAKEING A SHOWER OR MESSING UP THAT STREET PERFORMERS ACT!!!! AND.... And..... This stuff has nothing to do with you trying to kill me does it?" Candance slowly nodded her head in a "no" coupled with a confused look. In all her years shed never seen a display of cowardence as pathetic as yours. "oh then.... Why are you trying yo kill me?" You ask timidly. "because," she said gestureing at a stone door with gold highlights. "this is the entrance to the royal Treasury and its off limits to every pony but the princesses and me." Well.... Crap perhaps you should take of your hood and attempt to explain. Or die trying. You should also ask about any other changelings you hadent heard a peep out of them lately.....
4843403 But, you need to learn 'dodge and block' to increase the efficency of counter because counter have a bit of both.
Eh... I guess learning counter is learning the other 2?
Nightshade is most useful item
After everything is settled down, all the attempted murder is out of the way, all the explanations are made, and after you give her the crystal heart you have, you realize that you have no idea where your daughter is. Not only that, but you've been at the Gala for a long time. Her potion is due to wear off soon. You enlist Cadance's help in searching for her before it's too late.
Most useful item?
Royal Canterlot Voice for Dummies. That has served Bugze well.
And come on guys, Nightshade isn't an item. I don't think Bugze would appreciate us treating his daughter like an object.
4843400 obvious references are best references obviously
4841955 Wasnt there a ceiling where the Blue Portal was at? There's no way for there to be clear line of sight towards the moon.
4844525 way to kill the vibe...partypooper. Fine, I here by decree that instead of an orange portal to the moon, it shall be a blue portal...TO SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE
4844532 Not my fault I wasn't potty-party trained. But don't worry. The giggles are still there. No party had ever been pooped on, not on Pinkie's watch.
...let's just say the punishment of being put inside the party cannon and then launched to the unknowns isn't a pleasant way to go.
Had another thought!
---
You pull your gift out of the inventory, and hold it up for Cadance to see. She gasps, and her eyes open wide. Nailed it, you think.
"You don't know what that is, do you?"
Well, maybe not. "Uh, something pretty for a nice mare?"
She laughs and shakes her head. "It's a Lover's Jewel. That heart shape is a natural formation, and they are the only known gems that do that. They were quite popular among the upper classes as a symbol of engagement."
"Huh. That's interest-" Her last word sinks in. "OH LUNA NO!" You jump back, and the necklace falls to the ground.
Cadance catches it in her magic before it hits. "I'm afraid I have to decline your generous proposal." The necklace floats back over to you. "Why don't you hold on to it? Give it to somepony special one day. They are incredibly rare. I've never even seen one out of a museum."
"Really? The jeweler I took them to didn't say anything about this."
"Like I said, most of them are in museums. A lot of ponies don't know about them, and, well, it's kind of my job as the Princess of Love to know about all of the... wait, did you say 'them?' As in, more than one?"
"Yeah. I gave one to my daughter."
"You found two?" Cadance sits down, dumbfounded. She shakes her head in disbelief. "Bugze, I think you just cashed in all your good luck for the next decade or so."
Hmm... Most useful item? Tied between cloak and inventory. The Inventory holds all his items but the cloak. The cloak saves him... and the items also save him... So I am going with the Inventory.
The cloak
[okay! I've been wanting to do this for some time now so I might as well get this out of the way, at one point in this story you need this song.]
"Your favorite buggy! alright! here we go!"
"My Grandbuggy used to tell me one day I would be king
And that it would be me to but these dreams into a sling
And fling 'em like a bullet 'til they beam the whole ruling regime
in the melon. Then I tell 'em that I'll one day reign supreme
But it seems, I'm a damn salmon swimming upstream.
I scream 'cause I know just why the caged bird sings.
I'll adorn the Queen's throne, wear his treasure with pleasure,
'Cause being a villain is temporary, Heroes are forever."
"Workin' every week at a job I can't stand.
I always tell myself that one day I'll be the Hero.
What're we gonna do tonight, Nightshade?
We're gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world."
"Na na na na-na-na NA
Na na na na-na-na NA
What're we gonna do tonight, Nightshade?
We're gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world"
"Yeah... we're going to help save the world AJ, me and you...(I love that sample!)"
"imma shoot straight for the stars in my rocket.
No time on the clock. I'm gonna stop it. Kryptonite in my pocket

'Cause one day I'm gonna save this town
And when I save the crown. It's gonna please the crowd.

'cause this world is like a prison, but the beast is out."
RAWR!
"I'm not just chasin' these dreams.
I'm hiding out in the bushes, and then I wait 'til they leave
and jump out and pistol-whip 'em with my loaded ambition.
I'm not gonna front. I'm Ethan Hunt on this Impossible Mission.
Listen! This ain't a game of Risk in the kitchen.
I'm Stewie Griffin in this bitch, and I just flipped the ignition
on a click of robotic ninjas designed to kick my competition
in the face. I swear to Faust one day I'll run this place."
"Workin' every week at a job I can't stand.
I always tell myself that one day I'll be the Hero.
What're we gonna do tonight, Nightshade?
We're gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world."
"Na na na na-na-na NA
Na na na na-na-na NA
What're we gonna do tonight, Nightshade?
We're gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world"
"Once I quit this job, then I'll be free.
I've got greater plans. Wait and see.
I'm gonna rise to the top, and save everything.
Some day my queen will bow to me,
and one day I'll be king. "
"Workin' every week at a job I can't stand.
I always tell myself that one day I'll be the Hero.
What're we gonna do tonight, Nightshade?
We're gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world."
"Na na na na-na-na NA
Na na na na-na-na NA
What're we gonna do tonight, Nightshade?
We're gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world.
gonna help save the world"
