Chapter 66: Friday Night Food Fight

Chapter 66: Friday Night Food Fight

Misty is running in a panic through the Bridlewood forest, feeling scared as she dodges an incoming cake, which is being tossed around for some reason, she quickly dodges and flips as many as she can while trying to avoid the incoming food, which some are old or rotten.

Then three unicorns came up from behind a bush with mischievous smiles as Misty stopped with a gasp, “Give it up, Misty! There’s no escape!” The unicorn stallion in the middle said as he levitated four more pieces of food while his two friends beside him held up their own.

Misty grew nervous as she backed away a bit before she turned and gasped as she saw Onyx and Dapple appear behind her with smirks of their own while levitating more food and tossing it at her.

Misty quickly dodged the incoming food while having close calls as she ran, but then gasped as she saw many ponies surrounding her, preparing their food with sinister smiles as they were about to toss them at her.

And then, before Misty got hit by any food, two ponies front-flipped over to her, they were Izzy and Sunset, “Misty! Get down!” Izzy called out as she and Sunset tackled Misty to the ground before the unicorns tossed their food, but missed as they hit each other.

“Izzy, provide cover fire!” Sunset ordered like a general in a war.

“You got it!” Izzy nodded as she grabbed some food and started throwing some food with a wicked smile as the unicorns were hit by them, a unicorn mare grabbed Dapple to block an incoming pie, which she gave a relieved smile, but then she was hit with another pie to the face.

Misty then kept trotting as Sunset and Izzy trotted beside her, “Yay!” Izzy cheered, startling Misty bit, “Don’t you just love Friday Night Food Fights?!” She asked the two ponies.

“I’ll say this Izzy, I find it weird at first, but this is kinda fun!” Sunset exclaimed before turning to Misty, “And let me guess, you want the run down again?” She asked.

“Yes, please!” Misty desperately said as they kept running.

Just then, some foals, including Peach Fizz, and a couple more unicorns, appeared with more food, “Whoa! Look out!” Izzy exclaimed as she grabbed Misty, they danced the tango again while Sunset dodged as many as she could, “All the weeks' food that’s old and rotten…” She started as she ducked an incoming donut, ”Gets saved up…” She ducks again, “And put to good use…” She added.

Izzy then leaned Misty back from incoming food as Misty got nervous, “In the best, unicorn tradition!” She finished as she twirled Misty around, which caused her to spin and land in a bush while Sunset and Izzy jumped in after her.

“Which is kinda gross, but has to use them somehow,” Sunset commented as the three ponies did behind the bush.

Misty was panting from the rush as she turned to her friends, “I'm not sure about this, girls.” She said uncertainly, not sure if she liked this game as Sunset and Izzy looked up, “Isn't there someplace I can just watch?” She asked them.

Both Sunset and Izzy’s eyes widened as they saw the unicorns advancing towards them with mischief smirks and rotten foods ready to through.

“Uh, yeah, Izzy,” Sunset said in agreement, seeing that they were outnumbered and Misty might not like this, “Is there a safe house for Misty here?” She asked.

“The Tea House! Home-sies is safe-sies!” Izzy quickly answered as Misty trotted off, “Quick, Misty! Make a break for it! Sunset, protect her! I’ll cover you two” She exclaimed with a determined expression.

“Okay, good luck!” Sunset yelled as she trotted after Misty to keep her safe.

“Thanks!” Izzy called with a determined expression as she looked at her challengers as she laughed evily, “Oh, yeah? Take that!” She exclaimed as she tossed some food at the unicorns to the face, while a rotten pizza hit a stallion in the mouth, “And that! And—” She was cut off when Onyx, Dapple, and a unicorn mare came out of hiding with smirks as they levitated some pies.

Izzy’s eyes widened in panic as she screamed when the pies hit her as she was buried in a pile before she climbed out of it, “Or maybe I'll get covered... in pies!” She quipped cheerfully as she laughed at her joke, “Pies! Get it?” She asked before a pie hit her in the face and some more hit her.


Sunset and Misty kept running and dodging through the path as the spoiled foods were being thrown at them while Sunset brought out her magic shield to cover their rear.

“Trust me, this is a new level of a food fight and weird traditions to show, Misty! Messy, but fun!” Sunset exclaimed as she ducked from an incoming apple.

“I can see that!” Misty exclaimed as she dodged some more food while seeing the Crystal Tea Room ahead, which caused her to gasp joyfully in relief with sparkles in her eyes, “We’re almost there!”

“Good, because more incoming!” Sunset exclaimed as she moved Misty aside from an incoming food while they kept dodging them as they made it to the tea room, where they saw Alphabittle cleaning a teacup as they quickly shut the door. “Phew, that was close. This reminds me of the time with that snowball fight I had while protecting Pinkie’s baked treat she made for Rarity,” She commented while remembering the time when she and Pinkie were cot in a snowball fight while trying to get to Rarity.

“Really, wow,” Misty said in surprise as she looked out the door nervously before she saw the food fighting still going on as rotten food splattered on the door, which she quickly closed as she turned to her father, “Dad! Quick! It's not safe! We got to get out of here! This food fight has gotta stop!” She exclaimed panickedly, which made Alphabittle surprised by this.

“You mean to tell me you don't like Friday Night Food Fights?” Alphabittle asked his daughter in surprise.

“Yeah, that’s exactly what she’s saying,” Sunset said to him.

Alphabittle gave a small smile, “Hah! Oh, you sure changed your tune, Misty.” He commented as he walked up to them, “Very well, then. If that's what you want, I will put an end to all this food-flinging nonsense.” He promised as he walked out of the Tea Room.

Misty then got really worried when her father went out, “No, Dad, wait! Don't go out there!” She called out in panic.

“Looks like Alphabittle is in for a messy outcome,” Sunset commented, knowing that what Alphabittle will do will not work out well with what’s going on outside.

“That’s what I’m worried about,” Misty said in worried for her father.


Outside, Alphabittle waved a white flag as he gave a stern look, “Listen up, ponies! From this day forth, I declare a ceasefire!” He called out, which surprised the unicorns, “Lay down your old lasagna, your rotten bananas—” He ordered, but then the unicorns gave each other smirks, which Alphabittle saw as he went wide eyes before a rotten food hit him in the eye, “Ugh!” He called out, which caused him to clench his hoof.

And then another hit his other eye and a rotten banana landed on his mouth as more rotten food piled on him, which made Misty and Sunset gasped in shock as they watched from behind the door.

“Wow, those ponies are naughty,” Sunset commented surprised by what she saw as the unicorns kept throwing rotten food at Alphabittle.

Alphabittle managed to get his hoof free as he was inside the mountain of rotten food, which made Misty gasped, “Nooooo! No!” She cried out as she ran to her father and started digging him out Sunset came up behind her in surprise, “He was only trying to end this battle!” She cried out as she got her father’s head out, who looked dazed, “This can't be happening! Why?! Oh, why, oh, why, oh, why?!” She cried out.

Sunset tapped her hoof on Misty’s shoulder, which got the unicorn's attention, “Um, Misty. That’s a little bit overboard. And he’s not dead, he’s playing around,” She pointed out.

“Wait, what?” Misty asked in shock as she turned to her father, who shook out of his fake face as he looked surprised.

“Hang on.” Alphabittle said as he stood up and turned to his daughter, “Are you telling me you... you don't remember?” He asked Misty in surprise.

“What are you talking about, Alphabittle? Misty is still new to the traditions,” Sunset reminded him, since Misty was raised by Opaline, she is still learning about Bridlewood’s traditions as Misty nodded in agreement.

Alphabittle realized as well, “Oh, right,” He said, remembering that Misty doesn’t remember much of her past before giving the two ponies a smile, “Well, allow me to refresh that memory,” He said as he then began to explain his backstory.


Flashback.

A few years ago, Alphabittle was feeding his young daughter Misty some food while holding a spoon for her, “The Pegasus soars through the air! It's coming into land! Ooh!” He said with a smile as he moved the spoon around and brought it close to Filly Misty, who got her mouth open as Alphabittle boop Misty on the nose, getting some food on it.

Filly Misty looked at her nose for a bit before she smiled widely, “Yaaay!” She cheered with a wave of her hooves, which Alphabittle responded with a smile as he moved the spoon around his daughter, who gave a challenged smirk as she focused on the spoon before she tried to catch it, but it flicks out of her father’s hoof.

“Whoop!” Alphabittle said in surprise as he gave a laugh at his daughter.

“Whoo-hoo!” Filly Misty cheered as she trotted side to side in joy.

The spoon flew around as it hit a unicorn mare, who was eating a salad, on the head, which caused her stallion friend to laugh at her, which caused her to get irritated as she threw her salad piece at him, but he ducked before he got hit.

(Show a little Heart Song)
(Izzy)
It's the place where love and friendship starts
It's for me, yeah, it's for you, yeah, it's for everycritter

The salad piece hit an elder stallion, he glared at the mare, who flinched frightened as did her stallion friend the elderly eye twitched before he gave a smirk and lifted a piece of food as he hit the stallion with it.

Don't be aloof, pick up your hoof and play your part
Just show a little heart

The mare and stallion gave smirks as they picked up more food and threw some at the elder, which everypony joined in as the food fight then started, which Alphabittle saw in surprise before he heard his daughter giggle as he turned to her with a smile as Filly Misty giggled and waved her hooves in excitement.

(Izzy)
If you're feelin' what I'm feelin', then get up and show me
'Cause today's not the day for bein' lonely

Alphabittle was then hit to the face with some food as Filly Misty was hit to the face as well as a watermelon hit the bow as Filly Misty gave a giggle of joy again as Alphabittle joined in as he grabbed the watermelon piece and threw it at the pony who threw it, joining in on the fun.

End of Flashback.


After explaining the backstory, Sunset, and Misty were surprised by what Alphabittle just explained to them, while Misty was most shocked as her right eye twitched.

“Wow, now that’s a shock and surprising discovery origin of this backstory,” Sunset commented.

“Yes, it most certainly is, Sunset. My daughter started all this,” Alphabittle said as Sunset turned to Misty in surprise before giving a small smile.

Misty recollected herself as she raised her hoof, “Hang on. Are you telling us I started this tradition back when I was a filly?” She asked her father in surprise.

Alphabittle gave his daughter a smile, “Yes, that's— Oof!” He was cut off when more rotten food was thrown at him as he fell to the floor.

Misty gasped as her father fell to the floor while Sunset was surprised by that as she looked around, “Okay, we weren’t ready, ponies!” Sunset called out as she gave a sigh before she turned to Misty, who twitched a bit as she looked down at her father. “Uh, Misty? Are you okay?” She asked in concern.

Misty then gave a fierce expression, “That's it!” She snapped, which surprised Sunset from Misty’s sudden change of attitude, “If I started this, I can finish it, too!” She declared as she stomped her on a pie and placed some marks on her cheeks while tying her head in a headband, “Sunset! Can you cover me!?” She called.

Sunset was startled by Misty’s raised tone as she gave an uncertain look, “Um, yes?” She said uncertainly.

“Good! Then charge!” Misty yelled as she gave a roar and charged at the ponies, which Sunset watched in surprise.

“Looks like messing with family can bring out the warrior side of Misty,” Sunset said in surprise, “Better remember not to get on her bad side,” She said to herself before she shook her head and trotted after Misty.

(Show a little Heart Song Continues)
(Izzy)
It's the place where love and friendship starts
It's for me, yeah, it's for you, yeah, it's for everycritter

The ponies looked at Sunset and Misty in surprise at Misty’s sudden courage they all gave challenging smirks as Misty rolled to a pile as Sunset followed in pursuit.

Don't be aloof, pick up your hoof and play your part
Just show a little heart

Misty and Sunset then stood up and held up some pies, which surprised the unciorns as they were hit to the face while a couple more came behind them, they were about to throw their food at them but Misty turned her head and saw them as she gave a smirk, which she grabs Sunset and duck down to avoid the pies, which surprised the Alicorn by that as Misty stood up and threw two pies at the surprised unicorns like shurikens, hitting them both in the head.

“Whoa! I did not see that coming,” Sunset said, surprised by Misty’s surprised skills as Izzy appeared from her pile as she looked at Misty in awe as Misty trotted off. “Are you seeing this, Izzy?” She asked, wanting to be sure that her eyes were okay.

“I sure am,” Izzy answered as she gave a proud and tearful smile at Misty as she ate some popcorn that she had on her while she and Sunset watched before Sunset quickly followed Misty.

If you're feelin' what I'm feelin', then get up and show me
'Cause today's not the day for bein' lonely
Oh, oh, I'm spreadin' the love...

The unicorns then levitated some more food as they tossed them at Misty and Sunset, which they quickly ducked behind the cover. Sunset noticed some rotten eggs as she gave a smirk and gave some to Misty.

“Let’s crack those eggs open,” Sunset quipped with a smirk.

“You read my mind,” Misty said with a smirk as they tossed their rotten eggs up, and levitated them in their magic, and started hitting the unicorns with them as most of them hit Dapple in the mane.

“Eww! Rotten eggs?” Dapple exclaimed in shock while looking at his mane, “My mane's gonna smell for weeks!” He cried out.

“Revenge is sweet!” Misty quipped with a smirk as she levitated some gelatins with whipped cream and sprinkles on them as she turned to Sunset, “Might want to take cover, Sunset. It’s about to get really messy,” She advised.

“Okay, if you say so,” Sunset said as she quickly got to cover before Misty twired around and threw the gelatins at the unicorns, which they tried to find for cover but they weren’t fast enough as they were hit by her. “Wow, I've never seen this side of MIsty before. She’s good,” She commented on Misty’s warrior skills.

(Izzy)
...You better follow your heart, it ain't gonna wait
Love, I'm gonna shout it
Love, I'm gonna shout it

Misty then grabbed some grapes and put them in her mouth as she stood up and started spitting them out and hitting the unicorns as they all ran for cover but they were all hit.

“Nopony messes with my dad!” Misty called seriously as Alphabittle was behind her as he wiped some rotten food off him and gave his daughter a proud smile.

(Izzy)
Ain't no doubt about it
Love's in the air, let's shout it
Whoo!

Misty then stomped on some ketchup, which hit a couple of unicorns, and threw some pizza like a frisbee as it landed on a foal’s mouth before Misty gave a smirk and levitated a bowl full of honey and covered a mare in it.

Don't try to hide now, no, don't run from fate
Love's in the air and, ooh, it's smelling great
Don't be afraid, it's not too late for a new start
Just show a little heart

Misty then tossed some jawbreakers at Onyx and Dapple, which they tripped and crashed from losing their balance. Misty then brought out two loaves of bread and gave a fierce look as she started whacking some ponies with them, and then suddenly, she brought out a cannon she strapped herself with as she pulled as some pretzels all shot out at a unicorn more as she tried to dodge them.

Misty then used her magic to move some spaghetti at a couple of mares as they were tied together and fell on their rumps, “Hasta la vista, pony!” She quipped with a smirk.

Sunset watched with Izzy as they looked in awe at what Misty was doing, “Wow, who knew that Misty had that warrior spirit in her after seeing her father get piled with rotten food,” She commented with an awed smile, “And she’s good with the puns. I don’t think we've ever seen this side of her before,” She added.

“We sure haven’t! I can’t even be-izzle at this amazing thing Misty is doing!” Izzy cheered with a wide smile and sparkles in her eyes.

“Well, I guess when her friends and family are endangered, she steps up for sure,” Sunset said with a smile.

“You think she might need some help?” Izzy asked before a unicorn was than hit with a big cake as she hit a tree next to them.

“Nah, I think she got this,” Sunset said with a smile while they continued to watch Misty mop the floors with the unicorns.

Misty then stood as many unicorns around her were down before a few more came behind her, and she saw their shadows as she turned to them, “How'd you like an extra big helping of... this?!” The unicorn stallion called as he and three unicorns levitated a ton of rotten food and threw it at her.

Misty then gasped at the incoming rotten food before she closed her eyes and focused her magic on her horn.

(Izzy)
If you're feelin' what I'm feelin', then get up and show me
'Cause today's not the day for bein' lonely

The rotten food then stopped in mid-air as Misty strained a bit as the unicorns’ jaws dropped in shock at what they saw. Misty gave a determined look as she reeled back and stomped her hoof as she gave a shout as she tossed the food back at the unicorns, which they were all hit by them and were knocked to the ground while feeling dazed.

After the whole food slaughtering was down, Sunset and Izzy walked up to Misty.

“Misty, you were amazing! Food fight champion!” Izzy cheered in amazement.

“I’ll say! You took food fighting to a whole new level!” Sunset complimented with a hoof over Misty, “You are one tough warrior! Went up against the impossible!” She added.

Misty gave a slight blush at their compliments before she gave an uncertain look, “Thanks. But what about all this food?” She asked as she gestured to the pile of rotten food with the unicorns in it from her attacks.

“Yeah, this is a total mess, Izzy,” Sunset said in agreement, knowing that this was a complete mess alright from the food fighting.

“What, that? Aww, the forest will have that for lunch.” Izzy assured with a smile as she gestured to a rotten apple, “See? All that musty old food was only ever good for one thing – mulch.” She said as the rotten apple was absorbed into the ground and some newly sprouted plants were growing as Sunset And Misty looked surprised by this, “It helps grow Bridlewood, enrich the soil, and keep the forest alive.” She explained while gesturing to the ground and to the sun.

“Wow! Now that’s a nice way to have a food fight with a purpose and an interesting idea that I know Rainbow and Pinkie would approve of,” Sunset said in thought, knowing that Pinkie and Rainbow would like this food fight idea.

“I’m sure they would, Sunset,” Izzy said with a smile.

Misty smiled with sparkles in her eyes before she heard her father, “A prize for the food fight victor!” Alphabittle called as Misty turned to him with a smile as she saw him levitate a two-stack rainbow cake with strawberries and butterflies on it. “Thanks for avenging me.” He said as he gave his daughter a wink.

Misty kept smiling with sparkles in her eyes as Sunset and Izzy wrapped their hooves around her, “Friday Night Food Fight battle champ!” Both Sunset and Izzy complicated as they broke the hug.

“That's sure a side of you we've never seen,” Izzy commented with a smirk as Alphabittle came up to them and placed the cake down.

“I’ll say,” Sunset said in agreement, “You are full of surprises, Misty. Way more than what you claim to be,” She added with a smirk.

Misty smiled at their compliments as she turned to the cake and gasped happily with sparkles in her eyes as she walked to it, but then she slipped on a banana peel, which caused her to trip, “Aah!” She called out as she fell onto the cake, completely covered in frosting and cream as her two friends and father came to her in surprise.

“Thaaaaat's more like it,” Izzy said with a small smile as Sunset and Alphabittle smiled as well.

“Yeah, you are still you, Misty. Even though you won, you still get covered in food,” Sunset joked with an amusing smile.

Sunset, Izzy, Alphabittle, and Misty then started laughing together at what just happened, finding it funny and amusing at what just happened while they had a great Friday Night Food Fight challenge while Misty just showed her bravery and skills to them, but still got covered in food in the end, which they weren’t complaining, but they did have a fun time.

End of Chapter 66.
