The world of crafts

Author's Note:

Hello everyone! So, you all know I use to add author’s notes at the end of every chapter but this time I have to clarify something: the Great Galloping Gala chapter is until four more chapters. But don’t worry, we’ll see it soon. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the story.

The world of crafts

It was a nice day in Ponyville: the breeze were just perfect, the birds chirped and the sun brightened in the sky; oh yeah, a perfect day if you ask Miss Cheerilee. After say hi to Big Mac, who was opening the Apple’s apple stand, she opened the school were the young foals were only waiting for their teacher to appear.

“Good morning kids!

“Good morning miss Cheerilee!” Said together all the foals.

Yeah, a perfect day for the teacher.

“So children, as you know, today you’ll present the projects I asked you last week. Everyone had to make a small craft representing an important figure in Equestrian history; better if is from Ponyville and contemporary. Who wants to go first?”

Everypony raised a hoof, so the teacher chose randomly a young filly.

“Okay Twist, who did you made?”

The orange-maned filly with glasses happily jumped in front of the classroom and showed them a homemade plushie of Princess Candace.

“Okay, I made Princess Mi Amore Candeza. Her work ruling the Crystal Empire have being just great and I’ve seen her several times visiting Princess Twilight. Investigating a little I found that Princess Candeza was Princess Twilight’s foalsitter when she was about our age and since my granny taught me how to sew I made this”

Cheerilee smiled.

“Excellent job Twist. Anypony else made Candace?”

Silver Spoon raised a hoof too and she shoewe the class the Candace she made of pink-glittered cardboard, more glitters and such.

“I made Candace too, much better than hers if you ask me”

“Silver Spoon, more respect” scolded Cheerilee. “Both crafts are beautiful so that’s an A for the two of you. Now, any other character you wanna show us kids?”

“Me, me!” Cheered Pipsqueak. “I made Princess Luna, who brings us the night and the bests holiday of all times. I made her body of plasticine, her mane with a blue silk handkerchief I had in my home, her horn of an small crystal I found and the ponyshoes are golden silicon”

Cheerilee nodded in approval, as always Pip showed the class his devotion for Princess Luna; and he clearly put all his heart and soul on the project.

“Another A for today, in fact I believe every one of you will get an A today. Any other Princess Luna?” Asked the teacher.

This time Snails (who like Pip made his Luna of plasticine) and Feather Weight (made of toothpicks) showed their projects, both very good.

“Beautiful, any other pony?”

Dinky nodded and showed the class her Twilight made of clay. Cheerilee smiled again and then turned to Snips who also made Twilight; this one made of cardboard.
And the foals keep going: Button Mash surprised everypony with his representation of Celestia made up with papier Mache, Apple Bloom who also made Celestia with cookie she made with her grandma’s help; Scoots with a Rainbow Dash also made in papier Mache.

“Oh come on! She’s an Element of Harmony and helped defeat several foes!” She complained when everypony stared at her with a sweat drop in the temple.

“I guess you’re right” sighed Cheerilee. “Who else did you made?”

Rumble also surprised everypony with his figures of the two Night Guard’s captains: the Black Swordsman and the Lighting Flash; extra especial made of an structure of toothpicks covered in plastic plastilne and painted in detail. As a final touch, aluminum paper for the swords and Lighting’s armor and for Black’s signature trench-coat he used black fabric.

“Rumble… wow, just wow” mumbled the teacher. “But I only asked one pony, not two”

“I know Miss Cheerilee but this two are just so awesome that I had to make them both. And I actually showed it to the reals Black and Lighting and they loved it!”

Diamond Tiara frowned.

“You’re lying, there’s no way a blank-flank like you know them”

“My mom and dad are soldiers under Black’s direct command, how about that?”

Cheerilee stopped them before it was too late.

“You haven’t show us you project, right Diamond Tiara? Who did you made?”

Diamond Tiara proudly showed her classmates a cardboard figure (incredibly well made and painted) of Prince Blue Blood.

“Here you go, a famous idol for the young mares all over the Kingdom. Princess Celestia’s only nephew, she raised him since his parents passed away in some war and he have gone to several diplomatic missions. He’s a real high-class pony”

Cheerilee sighed.

“A good job Diamond Tiara, but since Blue Blood haven’t done anything really useful for the ponykind I give you a B- for your effort. Now I think you’re the last Sweetie Belle”

The white unicorn smiled happily showed the entire class her figure, covered with a small blanked she firmly held with her magic.

“Before I reveal this master piece I must clarify I didn’t chose a pony, but still is a very important figure for all of us. He can be a nuisance, but also a source of great fun for everyone… because even if his job is to mess with the ponykind, he’s still a kind-hearted person who only wants to have fun, not being evil. I made Spike, Lord of Disharmony and Chaos!”

And she uncovered the figure, made of plastic plastiline with small incrustations of gems she borrowed from Rarity.
But that didn’t like Cheerilee.

“Sweetie, you’re one of my bests students but this time you disappointed me. I give you a C”

Sweetie Belle looked at her figurine.

“But it’s well made and it took me an entire week! Why everypony else have an A and I have a C?”

Cheerilee stayed firm.

“It’s well made, and that’s why I give you a C, but the homework was to made an important figure for Euestria, and the only thing the Lord of Chaos do is to cause trouble. Or should I remind you the morning you destroyed the school under his control? No, C Sweetiet”

Sweetie Belle also stayed firm.

“Miss Cheerilee, I always agree with you about grades, but this time I have to protest. Even Princesses Luna, Celestia and Twilight say that Chaos is as important as Harmony to keep balance. Besides, unlike Discord, Spike have never tried to take over Equestria, only have fun with us”

“She’s right Miss Cheerilee” said Feather Weight. “And everything Spike does it’s always fixed easily, we just have to enjoy the prank until it’s over; not get angry from it”

“He was the one who destroyed the town when he turned into a greedy monster” said Silver Spoon to add more logs to the fire.

“Once” said Apple Bloom. “What about the Elements of Harmony? That time with the Parasprytes, or the time when the crazy magician came back to take revenge on Twilight? They’ve destroyed the town more times that Spike! Besides he saved the Crystal Empire”

“Yeah, he is an important figure like it or not!” Said Dinky.

Cheerilee sighed defeated.

“I get it, I get it. Alright, I personally dislike him but he’s a true important figure in Equestrian history. You have an A but this is the last time I allow any of you use Spike as a reference to your work, understood?”

The foals nodded but then a small cough called for attention. They all turned, it was a very familiar black and purple dragon.

“Oh Cheerilee, we used to be such good friends! Remember that pretty hat you gave me for my birthday?”

The teacher gulped.

“What are you doing here, Spike?”

“Oh, I came to see the kids’ projects but then I had an idea” said Spike charging the black and purple energy of chaos on his claws.

“NO WAIT!”

But it was too late, he released his powers.
Teacher and students covered their eyes, feeling the power of chaos entering to their bodies change. Of course Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Rumble activated their camouflage powers to protect on time to protect their identities.

When the rest opened their eyes, they realized they became crafts. Cheerilee was a piece of iris paper with wool glued to her head as mane and that eyes used in crafts and a flower sticker as Cutie Mark.
Diamond Tiara turned into a clipping from a magazine, Silver Spoon was now some kind of colored gravel that hardened with water and it was used to modelate small figures. Pip was the same material he did his Luna figure; and Dinky was a clay figure just like Snails. Snips was a figure made with toothpicks.
Absolutely everypony turned into a craft and even the school was a decorated cardboard box.

The foal’s reaction was obvious: to laugh happily enjoying the change, most of them enjoyed Spike’s sense of humor and they looked through the window to see how Ponyville changed with this new prank. They could see Dash as a kind of kite model flying around at wind’s will.

“SPIKE! WHERE ARE YOU BRAT? YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS!” Complained the cyan mare.

Of course that only increased the laughs. Cheerilee sighed defeated and stared angrily to Spike.

“Really funny, right Mr. Lord of Chaos? Okay you have the free the rest of the day, is not like we could advance much in this state. BUT THE NEXT ONE WHO USES SPIKE AS A REFERENCE WILL HAVE TWO WEEKS OF EXTRA HOMEWORK, AM I CLEAR?!”

The foals nodded and happily walked out of the school ready to enjoy the world of crafts, most of them at least. The agents of chaos just made a big detour around the school to join their leader unnoticed, who was waiting in an alley.

“Ey Spike, this was a good one!” Congratulated Rumble turning from a pipe cleaner doll into his form of Mist. “And you just thought about it in the air?

“Kind off” said Spike. “But I feel a little bad for Cheerilee, we used to get along just well but since that thing with Blue Floyd’s song she seems to dislike me”

“Yeah, we were jerks back at that time” mumbled Sweetie turning into Black. “And that reminds us why we don’t have to cross the line again, we can lost friends”

“Now, how do you stop this spell Spike?” Asked Dark. “Just freeing the Rainbow Power or is one of the special pranks?”

“Yeah, how should we get into our sister’s way?” Asked Shadow.

Spike was about to answer when suddenly a piece of paper felt from a roof (or should I say painted empty shoe box?) and face them angrily: Diamond Tiara along with Silver Spoon who came from a corner.

“So it was you all this time” said Silver Spoon. “We knew it”

“Yeah, that’s how we wanted to find you” said Diamond. “Now what are you going to do now? I don’t think your sisters would like to know your identities, agents of chaos. The game is called make Diamond and Silver happy”

The agents had a sweat drop on their temples.

“How did ya’ found us?” Asked Shadow.

“We followed you, like we’ve being doing all this time” grinned Diamond.

The agents of chaos facehoofed.

“So do you want me to do something or you can handle it by yourself?” Asked Spike.

Dark shook her head and then took Diamond, made a paper airplane and threw her away with Silver running after her friend.

“This isn’t over!” Said Silver, and she disappeared from the corner she came.

“She won’t get hurt, right?” Asked Dark.

“Only her pride” said Spike. “Now, back to our business, the goal is to keep the others away from Miss Cheerilee”

“That’s it?”

In the meantime, at Twilight’s Palace (a doll house), Twilight (a cork figure) dictated her the instructions:

“Everypony have your Harmony Grenades?”

“Ready” said the balloon figure that was now Pinkie.

“But this isn’t so bad” said Appejack, a lego sculpture. “In fact this prank is innocent and awesome. Everything is awesome when we stick together, side by side you and I following together; let’s do it forever!”

“Are you okay Applejack?” Asked the plushie Rarity.

“Of course, if everything is awesome Rarity! In fact, everything is awesome! Everything is cool if you’re part of a team! Everything is awesome… if you’re leaving our dream”

Twilight shook Applejack to take her back to her senses and accidentally dropped her, disarming the cowgirl. Everypony gasped but the lego figure armed back immediately.

“Awesome!” Cheered Applejack. “Uf, sorry. This body is affecting ma’ brain but still let’s finish this”

“Yeah, we all want to finish this as soon as possible” said Rainbow. “We have the Grenades, what’s next Twi?”

Twilight considered for a little.

“First we have to locate the source of chaos… where Spike concentrated his powers this time. The Grenades react to Spike’s power and they’ll react to him and his agents or well the source of this chaos”

“Sweet!” Said Pinkie. “Let’s go team Harmony!”

And they ran looking for Spike or his anomaly; but all they found were the ponies living their lives with the new condition, at this point they better accepted Spike’s pranks and kept going with their lives, after all they knew that the Bearers of Harmony will take care of everything with their Magic of Friendship.
The only problem they were having was that Rainbow and Fluttershy were made of light materials (Fluttershy was an origami model) and the wind took them away easily; and that didn’t help when they found two already known pegasi foals playing checkers while waiting for them. Mist was the first one to recognize them.

“Look Dark, our enemies, they look fine but they have something different, a new haircut?” Mocked the colt.

“I’ll show you to have fun of me!” Shouted Rainbow flying to the black Pegasus.

Dark grinned evilly and extended her giant bat-like wings to create a powerful air current that sent away Rainbow and Fluttershy. The yellow Pegasus was the first one to recover and charged to the team of chaos, but in that moment Mist whistled calling a bird (made of wood) to take the paper Fluttershy and deposit her in a tree to kept her away.

“ENOUGH!” Commanded Twilight shooting a Sleep-Spell to the agents of chaos.

The attack got them, making the two foals to fell sleep immediately.

“Nice one Twilight” said Rarity preparing one of the Grenades of Harmony. “Now what the Grenade would do to them, darling?”

“The same the Rainbow Powers do, seal their power for three hours; or turn them into stone if they were truly evil. Luckily they’re just annoying”

Rarity nodded and prepared the Grenade when a magic force-field immobilized her hoof.

“Don’t even think about it Rarity!”

She looked up, it was Spike sitting on his floating throne.

“Release me Spike” commanded Rarity looking at him with inviting eyes and a sexy playful smile. “Don’t you like to do a favor to your beloved friend Rarity, Spikey-Wikey? If you let me go I’ll have a date with you and…”

Spike stayed firm knowing all too well what Rarity wanted, and after several failures he was sick of it. And he still remembered Sweetie Belle’s kiss under the mistletoe.

“Sorry Rarity, that doesn’t work anymore” said the dragon jumping in front on the mare and took a missing thread of her plushie form. “Now if you excuse me, I’ll protect my friends’ identities”

He pulled the thread, unstitching Rarity on the act.
Then the dragon made appear a bucket of cold water to wake his agents.

“Dude!” Complained Dark.

“Why was that for?” Also asked Mist.

“You got distracted and they almost figure who you really are” scolded Spike. “Now let’s move before they try to use their Harmony weapons again, we don’t want to get punish, right?”

They began to run away but Twilight was far from giving up and shot a new Sleep-spell to them, but a black force-field blocked her.

“Who got distracted now Spike?” Laughed Sweetie Black appearing in front of the agents. “Time to go”

“No you won’t” Shouted Applejack jumping ready to throw them a new Harmony Grenade, but a giant rock disarmed her.

“See ya’ Applejack” mocked Shadow Bloom.

The lego figure armed back but her enemies were already too far.

“Shadow, how much A’ hate that kid” grinded her teeth Applejack. “A’ don’t care if it takes me forever, A’ll find out who is she no matter what!”

“Each one haves an enemy” said Rainbow, “oh I can’t wait to rip them off that black fur to see whose faces are underneath”

“We’ll have a serious talk with their parents” declared Twilight. “But now we have to detect the source of this chaos so let’s move! And don’t let them bother you, that’s what they want”

In Canterlot Castle Celestia was really frustrated, she divided her forces in two important divisions: one to replicate the candy of all candies and the other to find a cure. But now, as always, she had to interrupt the job because all her scientists and confectioners turned into crafts and couldn’t work on those conditions. Celestia herself was a paper clipping covered with cotton and colored wool as her mane and tail. It was very uncomfortable and her entire Castle became a macaroni mockup.
At her side Luna took a seat, she was the exact same thing that Pip made for his project.

“So what? Why are you so angry sist?”

“Because this time I had the feeling I found the answer but no, suddenly we had to stop because the Lord of chaos pranked us again. You know Luna? I’m beginning to think he’s doing on purpose”

And back to Ponyville, the six Bearers were wandering about the town looking for the source of all that, their grenades indicated it was close; but where? Rainbow was flying around the school when her grenade began to react.

“I get it” she cheered.

Then a blue cloud made of bubble gum placed above her, releasing a storm of orange juice. And for somepony made almost all in paper, the result wasn’t too happy.

“GO F#CK YOURSELF DARK!”

“Language!” Said the black Pegasus. “Besides you know this is as far I’ll let you advance; as an agent of chaos I must humiliate my rival as much as I can”

Rainbow frowned but this time she decided to leave to fight another day; so she better ran to get more support, of course on her way her soaked state instantly cured but still knew she couldn’t face Dark alone.

Pinkie Pie was also looking for the source when her Harmony Grenade reacted.

“Yay! I’m getting closer!”

She bumped to Fluttershy.

“Ey Fluttershy, you feel it too?”

“Yes, it feels like it’s moving” she said softly, “the source of all this isn’t a thing but…”

“A pony” confirmed Pinkie.

They began to look for the pony when Night came out from nowhere and pocked Pinkie with a needle. The balloon figure popped out.

“Ey that wasn’t good!” Scolded Fluttershy.

“I know but she’ll get immediately repaired and we cannot let you win and you should know it” said the black earth pony.

As Night said, Pinkie instantly got back to her hooves luckily in front of Twilight and Rarity.

“What happened Pinkie?”

“Nothing, just Night being a meanie. But that doesn’t matter, Fluttershy and I found that the source of all this is a pony, not a thing, a pony!”

Rarity considered for a while, who could be?
Rainbow came.

“Ey guys! I almost got it, it was on the school but that nuisance of Dark stopped me to get inside”

Rarity got the answer.

“A pony? The school? CHEERILEE! She’s the source of all this!”

There was no need to repeat it, the girls reorganized and began looking for the teacher. How they couldn’t see it before? Both Rarity and Applejack helped their sisters with their school project, it was obvious since the beginning.
They found her walking in very bad mood.

“Cheerilee!” Called Applejack, the first one to spot her.

“What?” She asked rudely.

“Cheerilee, A’ don’t know how to explain this but I have to explode this thing on ya” said the cowgirl showing her the Harmony Grenade. “Apparently Spike turned you into the source of this prank and the only way to stop it is using this in you”

“But it won’t hurt, it only affects agents of chaos” clarified Twilight.

Cheerilee cursed.

“Language!” Mumbled Fluttershy.

“I don’t care, that dragon has crossed the line: first he makes the children destroy all the schools in the kingdom, then he interrupts my class and uses ME as a source to his stupidity. Go ahead, I’m sick of Spike”

Applejack nodded and prepared her grenade, when a plant came alive and disarmed the lego Applejack.

“Not awesome!” She complained.

Rarity shouted and threw her Harmony Grenade to Shadow, who as running to them; but Night reacted before and blocked the attack with a piece of cardboard (a house wall) to block it.

“Night! You saved me!”

“Night-sense” explained Night to her cousin.

The agents of chaos surrounded the team of Harmony from both ground and air, but the girls prepared their grenades ready to fight back. Dark and Mist charged to them and Rainbow flew to face them, Dark was about to make her move but the cyan Pegasus quickly deviated in the air and dropped the bomb on Cheerillee.

The Harmony Explosion covered everything, but luckily for the team of chaos, Spike and Sweetie teleported them to the clubhouse, that was fully protected against Harmony.

“Well, Harmony grenades” sighed Spike. “That was a clever move from Twilight”

“If those things hits us, we’ll show our true faces right?” Asked Sweetie.

They remained silent for a while when Mist spoke:

“Well, if one falls, the others will follow; not because betrayal but friendship. We’ll face the consequences for being the bad guys together”

They all looked at the black colt a little surprised but nodded, of course, they were a team joined by the only thing that could face the Magic of Friendship: the Magic of Friendship itself.

“Those things are clearly a nuisance but it’ll make the things way more interesting” said Spike. “Don’t you think?”

“It’ll help us to be more careful from now on” said Dark. “In the meantime what would we wear at the Gala? It’s supposed to be a high-class event?”

“My sister can make our outfits” said Sweetie, “we just have to convince her to work for her enemies”

“Yeah, we’ll think in something, but she’ll make us our dresses like us or not” shrugged Night Seed.

They all laughed happily, everything was getting more interesting by seconds; it was great to be a team but sooner or later they’ll have to face the consequences. But at least they’ll do it together.
