Princess Sparkle told us to study about friendship, but I really don't see the point.." Dinky said, looking at the baby pheonix sitting next to her. "Its fine, Dinky! Anyways, like she said, you need to go out more! Meet some ponies, make some friends.. Its healthy to go outside." Scorch said, preparing to preen her wings. "Well, yeah.. She did say it might make some use, and 'that it did for me'.. Hm... You know, I sort of wonder how the Princess got there." " Whats 'there'?" " 'There' is being a princess! I mean, did she defeat a monster? Discover a new spell? Did she find any new magics in the Everfree Forest? Or..." " 'Or'?" "What if she used to be the student of Princess Celestia?" "That's rediculous. Chances are, she simply made some new unicorn spells like Starswirl the Bearded did." "WAIT!" Scorch darted her wings and nearly fell forward, "What?!" "What if, that magic is the Elements of Harmony, and she was the student of Celestia?!" "W-" Scorch was cut off by the chariot landing in Ponyville, cutting their conversation short. "Scorch, we've gotten to Ponyville!" Dinky said, climbing out of the chariot. "Thanks again for the trip." The mare said, turning towards the guards. Scorch hopped out of the chariot and the guards quickly flew off back to Canterlot. She then followed Dinky to inside the town. "So, Scorch, now that we're here... How do we start?" Dinky asked. "Simple! Go and talk to somepony, say hi! You know, ponies are really nice creatures. You're one! You've probably never talked to one besi-" "Okay, Scorch, I get it. I am a bookworm who has no friends and never goes outside. Lets get started with this so I can get closer to moving on to newer studies." The two wandered a few seconds before seeing something.. Strange. Stranger then she had imagined to be in this little town.. She saw it standing a tiny ways away. It didn't notice her, but it was hard for her to ignore it. It had a grey head, equipped with a short blonde horse mane down its long neck, messy, white hair that was neither long nor short, with a changeling blue eye, along with an eye that is fully lavender besides a lime green pupil, the creature's mouth was full of small, sharp teeth, with two saber tooth fangs on the sides. The rest of it was full of strange animal parts. It had a tiger paw, a dinosaur arm, a desert lizard leg, and a changeling leg, along with a large clownfish tail. The body of the beast was long and thin like a snake, though that part of it was pink and fluffy. Dinky simply stood and stared, very confused, and slightly scared. Though, the strangest thing was, ponies seemed to notice and acknoledge the creatures presence, though they acted as if it was just a normal day. Fillies danced and played, ponies went to their homes, did their works, and tended to gardens.. Scorch ended the silence between the two, loudly blurting out, "SWEET EQUESTRIA! WHAT IS THAT THING!?" Several ponies' heads darted toward her, and the creature disappearing out of thin air. "Wait! Where.. Where did that thing go?" Dinky asked, blinking and regaining a full grip on her senses. "I have no i-" Once again, Scorch was cut off by something. "Hello!" The long, tall creature said, after popping out of nowhere, and flexibly swirling around Dinky and looking at her from her level. "AHH!" Dinky screamed, frightened and surprised. The creature unlooped, and somehow, it made its body a bit less long, "What? Never seen a large draconechangeling that has the full ability to kill you with a snap of the fingers, who has a large tiger paw and two saber tooth fangs? ...Actually, you have full consent to be freaked out." It said, thinking for a moment. Scorch simply flew behind a house. Dinky assumed the best way to deal with the situation, is not to act scared, as it might be able to sense fear. "Uh-uhm, okay? Uhm, my name is Dinky Hoov-" "Oh, I've heard of you! Your the student of Emperor Starbutt, ruler of Ponyland. Your one of those tiny horses who are everywhere, and you moved here from Cunterwot. That little fire-bird that ran behind that building is Blorch, your Dinkee Fooves, and this town is Fonyhill. There may be minor typos, but I've been doing magic since before you were potty trained, so my memory may or may not be fantastic." The creature, stared at Dinky, who just stared back, still showing signs of confusion, and failure to not show fear. "Also, even though I'm an omnivore, I haven't eaten a sentient being for yeaaaars, so you can stop being freaked out now, you've had your fun. Oh! And, my name is Disorder. As you have hopefully noticed, I am a female draconechangeling who lives here, which is the reason why nopony is running around screaming." Disorder badly reassured, and explained. "Okay, first off, what the hay is a draconechangeling?" "A mix of a draconequus and a changeling, you silly meatderp. I honestly have no idea how I was created, but I'm assuming I'm the offspring of a pickle and a box." Dinky just silently stared. "So, have you ever talked to another sentient being? Besides Lord Emperor Starbutt The Great?" Disorder said, sarcasticly, obviously not expecting a reply. "Oooookay, I'll give you a hand with the whole 'Learning Friendship so you can become Lord Emperor Bubblebutt The Almighty' thing. Ignore any ponies with lime green eyes, and don't try to talk to them either." And with that, Disorder snapped her fingers and Dinky and Scorch disappeared. > Friendship is Magical - Part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dinky quickly looked around to see where Disorder had teleported them. "OHMYGODHOWDIDYOUJUSTTELEPORTINFRONTOFMEOHMYGODIEVERSAWYOUBEFOREWHATSYOURNAMEWHOSYOURPHEONIXDOYOULIKEMASHEDPOTATOSINEEDTOMAKEAWELCOMETOPONYVILLEPARTYWITHMYCOUSINPINKIEPIEOHWOWBYE" A pale yellow unicorn said, hopping up and down, as her puffy orange mane bounced in Dinky's face. She then ran off at a speed that may just be faster then light. Dinky stood there, confused. "Wh-what just happened?" "Uhm, I'm gonna assume you met some weird draconequus lady, then she teleported you in front of some crazy unicorn and then that unicorn freaked out and ran off. At least you've met your first pony. So, move on to the next mare?" Scorch said, equally confused. "..Okay. Lets.. lets go do that." The two walked off, looking around. They were in some weird bakery. When they walked out, an orange pegasus was flying straight at them. The pegasus had a short messy purple mane, and pale, light purple eyes.. And a wing the size of her entire body? "LOOK OUT BELOW!" "AHH!" The pegasus crashed into Dinky, and dust flew everywhere. "Ugh... sorry.. Stupid draconequus thought it was funny to make my wing the size of a dragon.." The pegasus said, climbing off of Dinky. "Draconequus? You mean Disorder?" Dinky said, getting up. "Yeah, you heard of her? Haven't seen you around here before, I'm thinking you just got here.." "Yes, Princess Sparkle wanted me to go to Ponyville to learn about friendship. The first 'pony' I met was Disorder, she teleported me in front of some crazy unicorn, then you crashed into me after she had ran off.." "Sorry about that. Anyway, I think you mean my friend Pumpkin Cake. If she sees a new pony, she freaks out and gets her cousin Pinkie Pie to help her have a welcome party. Never happened to me, though, I've been living here since I was a filly. Also, your Princess Sparkle's student? Neat! I could help with learning about friendship. You could meet my friends Applebloom and Sweetie Belle." "Oh, really? Before we go to the 'party', lets meet those ponies. Where are they?" "I'll show you, the Dictionary is probably at her sister's place, visiting. A.B. is at Sweet Apple Acres, she lives there." Scootaloo replied, trotting off, Dinky following. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Howdy, Canterlot pony! Ah haven't gotten visitors 'sides Sweetie Belle and the chicken for a long time. Good to see another pony folk here!" A yellow mare, with a reddish mane and pinkish-orange eyes said. Scootaloo simply made a face. "Oh, uhm, hello! My name is Dinky Hooves, how about you?" "Ah'm Applebloom, me an' mah brutha and sista Applejack and Big Macintosh run Sweet Apple Acres. Ah also have lotsa other family, like Babs Seed, Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apples, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp, Big McIntosh, Granny Smith, Apple Cobbler, Apple Honey, Gala Appleby, Lavender Fritter, and Peachy Sweet are a few of 'em." Dinky attempted to remember the number of ponies Applebloom just said. "Uhm, wow.. You have a big family, don't you? Anyways-" "Wait! I just remembered, my wing is still messed up.. Hey Dinky, wanna go see Sweetie Belle before I go find that draconequus?" "Oh- uh- okay." Dinky walked off, Scorch waving at Applebloom, who waved back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Oh, hello, dearie. My name is Sweetie Belle, you've heard of me, before?" "Uhm, yes. Scootaloo mentioned you as 'Dictionary' one time I think, and back in Canterlot I've heard a few ponies mention your name." "Dictionary? That nickname goes way back, so does Scoots being a chicken.. But, anyway, why'd you come? I haven't seen you around here b- Wait, ponies in Canterlot talk about me? In the most beautiful, high-class city of Equestria, where the Princess herself lives?" "Uh, yes. I've lived in Canterlo-" "YOU'VE BEEN IN CANTERLOT?! YOU MUST TAKE ME! ITS BEEN MY DREAM TO GO THERE!" She gasped for breath, and calmed down. " I would be simply the most famous pop star in Equestria if I could perform in such a place!" "I just realized I still have a speaking role in this fanfic!" Scorch blurted out. Ignoring Scorch, Dinky spoke, "I can't actually go back to Canterlot until I've finished my studies, I have to finish studying friendship." "How do you finish?" "I need to make 5 friends. So far I've met Applebloom, Scootaloo, and you, along with some unicorn named 'Pumpkin Cake' I guess. So that's four. There's one more left." "Well, how about we go to Pumpkin's party? She's invited every pony in Ponyville, and by now she and Pinkie are done decorating and setting up. You would probably meet another pony then, to be friends with, so you can study other things and I can become famous. First, though, I need to say goodbye to my sister, Rarity. She's currently making a dress." "Rarity is your sister? ...She's a famous dressmaker! I've seen Princess Sparkle wear several of her designs.." "Their pretty close. Since before Princess Sparkle became, 'Princess Sparkle', she was Twilight Sparkle, Rarity had helped her get to her rank. I need to say goodbye before we go to Pumpkin Cake's party." Sweetie Belle walked off, Dinky's mouth wide open at what she just said. She glanced over at Scorch, who had passed out. After a few minutes of Dinky thinking hard about the Princess's past, Sweetie Belle returned. "Lets get to that party!" She said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Oh my Celestia! This might just be the most exciting thing EVER! Well, besides when I first saw you teleport in front of me without even using your horn, that was pretty awesome! But I never saw you before so I made you a Welcome to Ponyville party!" Dinky glanced around a bit, seeing a grey mare standing silently in the corner, with a pink pony shooting a blue cannon in the middle of the party, making streamers and balloons fly out. "Oh! Uhm, I wasn't actually teleporting.. Disorder had teleported me." "Oh. THIS IS STILL SO EXCITING." Pumpkin Cake's gigantic smile didn't get any smaller. "Wanna try a hot-sauce cupcake? My cousin Pinkie made one when I was non-existant." "Uhm.. I'm okay." "More for me!" Pumpkin shoved the cupcake in her mouth. "Well, uhm, I'll just go.. Celebrate." This is a waste of time! I just need to make another friend, then I can go back to Canterlot and study more important things.. "Okie dokie pokie lokie" "Lets see.. Scorch.. Who should we talk to first?" "How about that grey pony in that corner? She looks lonely." "Uhm, okay. First, lets attempt to get through a dancing crowd of the entire population of Ponyville." A little bit after attempting to get through a dancing crowd of the entire population of Ponyville, Dinky walked up to the grey earth pony in the corner, and awkwardly said "Uhm.. hello.. My name is Dinky Hooves, whats yours?" "Uhm.. I'm... Silver Spoon.." "What? Speak up a bit." " My name... Its... Silver spoon.." "Shilver Poon?" "Silver... spoon.." "Silver Spoon?" "Y-yes.." Silver Spoon glanced over at Scorch, seeing her chewing on a metal ladle. "It can eat metal?" She quickly walked over to examine Scorch, who glanced up, continuing to chew on the ladle. "Uhm.. Yes. Oh, and, Scorch is a she." "Scorch? It's so cute!" "Uh...uhm...We better get going.. Its getting late..." "Wait! Can I come?" --------------------------------------------------- The strangeness continues in the next chapter! Dun dun dunnn!
