> Horseplay > by Awesomo3000 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Under the bed > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applejack gently patted the trembling form of her little sister as she poked her small head out from under the bed covers. "Now calm down now, Apple Bloom, there's no Pony of Shadows under yer bed," Applejack said soothingly, taking a peak underneath the bed for proof. "There's nothin' to be afraid o-" She shot back up instantly, wide-eyed. "Something moved." ---------- Later, Granny Smith poked her head through the slightly open door. "Applejack, Apple Bloom, y'all doin' okay?" she asked. "GET OUTTA HERE! SAVE YOURSELF!" the two sisters screamed in terror underneath the covers. > Completely ignored > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once he had finished writing down the extremely complicated math equation on the board, the teacher turned to face the class. "So does everyone understand this?" he asked. "No..." Fluttershy whispered, raising her hand meekly. "Yes." The rest of the class stated, much louder than her. "Any questions?" "Um, yes..." Fluttershy whispered again. "No." The class drowned her out once more. "Alright then, moving on." The teacher replied, turning back to the board. Why me?! Fluttershy cried inwardly, curled up on the floor near her desk. > Always works > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm sorry, kids, this movie's rated R." The mare in the theatre booth shook her head at the three fillies before her. "Awww..." the Cutie Mark Crusaders moaned as they walked away dejectedly. "Girls!" a voice snapped. The three of them turned to see Rarity glaring down at them. "What were you three thinking?" she asked sternly. "Well, umm..." Apple Bloom stuttered. "You'll need this!" Rarity held up a trenchcoat with a hat and sunglasses, her glare instantly melting into a smile. ---------- "Enjoy the movie!" the mare in the booth called after the staggering pony in the trenchcoat, Sweetie Belle's head with the hat and glasses sticking out of the top, along with eight orange and yellow legs underneath. > Moment ruined > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh, sister, I've missed you so much!" the recently reformed Luna hugged Celestia tight, tears in her eyes. "So have I, Luna." Celestia replied gently, nuzzling her sister's head. "It's been so long." Suddenly she pulled out of the hug. "By the way, you owe me two bits from one thousand years ago." she added. Luna glared at her. > Notes in class > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Excuse me, young colt!" Cheerilee snapped. Button Mash, in the midst of passing a folded piece of paper across to Sweetie Belle, froze. The two young ponies turned to look at the teacher meekly. "What does that note you were giving to Sweetie Belle say?" asked Cheerilee sternly. "Umm..." Button Mash read the note nervously. "You have cooties." Cheerilee glared. "I-It's a joke, Miss Cheerilee," Button Mash stuttered, "I just..." "I DO NOT!" Cheerilee bawled as she ran out of the classroom in tears. Button Mash, Sweetie Belle and the rest of the class stared. > Worst dinner ever > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So tell me, how can you prove you can be a good boyfriend?" asked Sunset Shimmer, arms folded as she sat in her classroom chair. "I could... cook you a romantic dinner." Flash suggested, a confident smile on his face. "Sure, I'd love that." Sunset replied, smiling back. ---------- Later that evening, Sunset sat at Flash's dinner table which was layered with a single lit candle and two fancy plates. Finally Flash entered the dining room, wearing a fancy waiter outfit and carrying a food tray. "Bon appetit, Sunset." he said with a romantic grin as he gestured to the tray in his hand. "Would you like ketchup or mustard on your burger?" Sunset glared. "What?" Flash asked innocently. > Hey, look, a distraction! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Fluttershy, where is your homework for today?" the teacher crossed his arms sternly as Fluttershy quivered in her classroom seat. "Umm..." she murmured. Suddenly she reached into her bag and yanked out her pet rabbit Angel. "Bunny!" she shouted with a smile. The teacher gasped. "OH, MY GOD, A BUNNY!" He squeed. The whole class instantly crowded around the teacher to pet Angel as Fluttershy swiftly crept out of the classroom. > What a find > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hoo-wee, what a day at the beach that was!" Applejack remarked as she and the other Humane Five walked back to her truck, shaking the sand off their feet. "Who's up for a drive-thru at Burger King?" asked Sunset. "Sure! I got dibs on the front seat!" Rainbow Dash cried out, making a sprint to touch the front sidedoor. "SHOTGUN!" Pinkie yelled from behind them. Everyone groaned to themselves and began to turn to face her. "Darling," Rarity sighed. "You had it on the way he-WHOA!" "No, I found a shotgun!" Pinkie stated happily, cocking the weapon, "And I want the front seat!" > Leave me be > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Scootalooooo, it's time to get uuuuup." a soothing female voice called in Scootaloo's ear. "Nooo..." she muttered, snuggling further into her blanket. "It's time to get ready for schooooool." the voice called again. "I don't wanna..." Scootaloo groaned, clenching her eyes shut. "But you're already here!" Cheerilee replied as the class stared at the pegasus filly asleep on her desk. "NOOOO!" Scootaloo sat up and shouted at her before lying back down again. > Food first > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Girls, Discord has turned evil again and is destroying Equestria with his chaos!" Twilight declared, stomping her hoof into the dirt. "If we're gonna stop him, we're gonna need all our strength, agility, and most importantly, our friendship! So let's get moving and..." "But first, Sugarcube Corner for some cupcakes!" Pinkie interrupted, smiling merrily. The Mane Six stared at her. "Pinkie, we don't have time for..." "CUPCAKES!" Pinkie shouted at Twilight, a vein showing through her neck. "Ugh, fine, let's go." Twilight muttered. "YAY!" Pinkie cried happily. > We must get through this > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Come on, Cutie Mark Crusaders! Buck up!" Apple Bloom whispered to her friends in the darkness, their only source of light being a tiny flashlight. "I don't think we can do this, Apple Bloom." Scootaloo quivered. "I'm scared." Sweetie Belle added, tears in her eyes. "This is no time for dramatics, Sweetie Belle!" Apple Bloom whispered sharply, "If we stick together, we can do this. I guarantee, we will survive. Are you with me?" "Okay." Sweetie Belle sniffed. "Me too." said Scootaloo. Suddenly the darkness around them instantly went away and was taken over by the light. "Okay, girls, time to present your school project." Cheerilee said, holding the large black blanket they were hiding under. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed the CMC. > Horrors do a number on you > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you sure you'll be okay, Pinkie?" asked Mrs Cake, standing outside the movie theatre with her husband. "Of course, Mrs Cake!" Pinkie replied happily, "It's just a horror movie about a teddy bear who comes to life thanks to an evil unicorn's curse and tries to murder its owner! I'm not scared one bit!" ---------- "Pinkie, what's the matter? I heard you scream!" cried Mr Cake, bursting into the twins' bedroom and seeing Pinkie backed up against the wall in terror. "IT MOVED!" Pinkie screamed, pointing her trembling hoof at Pumpkin Cake's stuffed monkey on the floor. Mr Cake glared at her. "GET IT!" She screamed, still pointing at the toy. > Taking games literally > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey, Pinkie, we were gonna play a game of Twister!" Applejack called into the kitchen of Sugarcube Corner. "Ya wanna join us?" "Sure, I've never played it before!" Pinkie replied, looking up from the cookies she was baking, "One little game can't hurt!" ---------- "Okay..." Rainbow Dash muttered, lying on her stomach as she spun the arrow on the colour board. Pinkie bounced on the spot in excitement. "Alright, left hindleg, blue." Rainbow called out. Pinkie instantly kicked Rainbow in the face with that exact limb. "Did I win?" she asked the others eagerly. > Just my luck > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Does anyone have any questions?" the teacher asked after he had finished writing the algebra equation on the board. "Uh, yeah." Aria Blaze raised her hand, looking annoyed as usual. "When are we ever gonna need to know this stuff in our lives?" ---------- "Is there a problem, officer?" Aria asked from her open window casually as a cop stood next to her pulled-over car and glared. "Yes." he stated bluntly, pulling an algebra equation out of his pocket and showing it to her. "This problem. Solve it. Aria's eyes widened. "Oh, fu..." > It's a compliment > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Posers! Look at you all! You're a bunch of posers!" Rarity shouted to a trio of mares on a stand, all wearing fancy dresses and headwear. Photo Finish turned away from her camera in front of the stand and glared at the unicorn through her goggles. "Zey're models." she stated in annoyance. "Oh, I know, darling, and they're extremely good at posing!" Rarity replied, a smile plastered on her face, "Well, goodbye!" With that, she turned and walked away, still smiling. > Getting their hopes high > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Okay, my little ponies, it's time for the homework now!" Cheerilee declared sweetly, holding up a stack of worksheets. "Awwww..." the entire class groaned. "The homework for next week is only three questions." she stated, taking one sheet off the pile of papers for reference. "Oh, phew..." every filly and colt murmured to each other, relaxed smiles on all their faces. "And each one has twenty parts." Cheerilee finished, showing the sheet for everypony to see. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO US?!" Apple Bloom screamed as the whole class broke into sobs and shouts of despair. > Sore loser > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh, shoot..." Fluttershy muttered to herself as the dice displayed the number four to her. Hesitantly, she moved her counter away from the finish line and down the snake on the game board. "My turn!" Discord cried out, gleefully rolling the dice. He beamed as the dice showed the number six. "HAHA, YES! I WIN!" the draconequus screamed in happiness as he moved his counter up the ladder and onto the finish line. Fluttershy glared at him. ---------- Discord landed facefirst on the ground outside Fluttershy's front door, followed by a suitcase with his belongings inside. "You're dead to me." Fluttershy stated, slamming the door shut. > Can't risk it > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple Bloom quivered in fear behind Applejack as she confidently stared at the spider in the corner of the room, a flyswatter in her hoof. "Don't you worry, lil sister," Applejack declared, glancing toward her trembling sibling. "Ah ain't gonna let this eight-legged varmint get away from me." "Where'd it go?!" Apple Bloom shrieked, pointing to the corner. When Applejack looked back to where the spider had been, it was gone. The two ponies looked at the room around them anxiously. ---------- "Well, say goodbye to the house, Apples." Applejack stated as Big Mac pulled the cart holding her, Granny Smith and Apple Bloom away from the farm and down the road. > Morning frights > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ahhh, what a beautiful morning!" Twilight said to herself as she sat up in bed, the sun beaming through her open window. "Good morning, Twilight!" three smiling birds said, flying in through the window. "Why, thank you!" Twilight replied, smiling back. "I have a feeling today's gonna be a wonderful-WHAT THE BUCK?!" Leaping out of bed, the terrified Twilight sprinted downstairs and out the front door. "TALKING BIIIIIIIIRDS!" she screamed as she ran through the town. "You can't escape us!" the three birds called demonically, chasing after her. > Don't you dare say it > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Okay, class, that's all for this lesson. There's nothing else to do today." Cheerilee stated, sitting down at her desk and going over some papers. "Phew..." the whole class murmured amongst themselves. "Wait, didn't she say we were gonna have a pop quiz after school?" asked Diamond Tiara out loud. "I'm sorry, Diamond Tiara, what was that you said?" Cheerilee asked without looking up from her work. "Nothing! Nothing at all! I never said anything!" squeaked Diamond Tiara as the entire class surrounded her threateningly and Scootaloo held a sharpened pencil to her throat. > Too into the game > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Twilight, could you please come back soon?" asked Spike sadly, speaking into the cellphone leaning on his ear, "I miss you so much." "Aww, I know," Twilight replied from her own phone, "I miss you too, Spike, but you have to understand this is extremely important to me." "But it's been four days already!" Spike exclaimed with an annoyed roll of his eyes. "Spike, I told you: this is Hide and Seek!" Twilight responded from under her bed, "I hide, you find me. Simple!" With a childish snicker, Twilight hung up and went back to being quiet. > Pretend I'm not here > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh, it's so good to hear from you again, Aunt Janice!" Fluttershy giggled into her cellphone as Rainbow Dash watched her from across the room with a roll of her eyes. "I'm glad you think so, Fluttershy!" came a screeching, loud voice from the other end, "Tell me, is your friend Rainbow Dash there?" Rainbow's eyes widened. "Of course, she's right here." Fluttershy replied, turning to look at her and gesturing to the phone. "No, no, no, no, no..." Rainbow whispered desperately. "She's right here! She's RIGHT here!" Fluttershy kept repeating through clenched teeth, chasing Rainbow out the house and down the street. ---------- "Hey, Janice, what's up?" Rainbow asked into the phone with a forced smile once she was on the pavement and held in a ferocious headlock by Fluttershy. > If you were in a back-to-school ad > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Well, girls, it's officially time for another year of school!" Applejack declared in an overly-happy manner, the rest of the Humane Five around her also smiling. "Why are you all happy about this?" asked a confused Rainbow Dash. "Which means it's time for another year of learning!" Rarity cried joyfully, ignoring her. "This is a bad thing!" Rainbow shouted in frustration. "And most importantly, another year of fun!" Sunset added cheerfully, giving a thumbs up. "Screw you all." Rainbow muttered, storming off as the others only continued smiling. > No respect for the elders > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey, Granny Smith!" called Apple Bloom cheerfully, opening the door to her grandmother's bedroom, "Ah just got back from school and..." Suddenly she froze in place. "Why, Granny..." the filly said uneasily, "What big eyes you have." She started to back up. "What big ears you have!" Apple Bloom stated, starting to look terrified. She backed up once more. "What big teeth you have!" she cried in horror. "This is why you're ma least favourite grandchild." Granny Smith huffed, rolling over in bed to hide her face. > If all else fails... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "UGH!" Sweetie Belle cried angrily, face-planting on the desk she was sitting at. "What's the matter, Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked, trotting down the stairs and into the room. "It's this dumb homework I have to do!" the filly yelled, gesturing to the worksheet in front of her, "It's just too hard." "Oh, come now, Sweetie Belle, I'm sure I can help you," Rarity stated with a smile, walking over to the table, "I'm sure it can't be that hard." Her smile melted into a look of horror when she saw that the sheet had multiple questions on algebra and calculus. ---------- Once they were outside, Rarity squeezed Spike and fire shot out of his mouth onto the paper like a flamethrower as Sweetie Belle watched. "It's alright, Sweetie. It can't hurt you anymore." Rarity whispered dramatically. > Never stop the singing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey, Dashie, what's wrong?" asked Pinkie curiously as Rainbow Dash slumped on the park bench. "I have a problem, Pinkie." she muttered in reply. "Nothing a song can't fix!" Pinkie replied with a big smile, "LAAAAAAAAA..." "My problem is you singing too much!" Rainbow snapped. Pinkie stopped singing and glared at her. ---------- "LAAAAAAAAAAA..." Pinkie continued singing happily as she walked away from the unconscious Rainbow Dash, carrying a crowbar in her hooves. > History of their breakup > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You're beautiful, Sunny." Flash stated romantically as he and Sunset lay on the couch in the dimly lit living room. "And you're handsome, Flashy." Sunset replied with a smile, snuggling closer to him. "Hey, guys, do you wanna play some Monopoly?" asked Twilight, coming into the room carrying a Monopoly box. "Sure! I wanna be the race car!" both Flash and Sunset responded, instantly sitting up. They both froze and stared at each other. ---------- Sunset slammed the front door shut. "Nice dating you too." Flash muttered as he lay facedown on the pavement, rubbing the imprint of Sunset's boot on his behind. > Payback for all those arrests > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Is there a problem, officer?" asked Aria innocently as the cop glared at her through her open car window. "Aria Blaze, you're under arrest for going over the speed limit once again." he stated firmly. "Actually, sir, today's Opposite Day." Aria replied with an evil grin. The cop froze. ---------- "This sucks!" the cop yelled from the backseat, cuffed hands behind his back. "Ah, ah, ah. Right to remain silent." Aria responded, smirking as she drove. > Hypocrisy at its best > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Now listen closely, Sweetie Belle." Rarity said gently, placing her hoof on her younger sister's shoulder, "Since you're growing up, you need to start acting a bit more your age." "Well... okay, Rarity. If you say so." Sweetie Belle replied, kicking a hoof at the playground chippings. "New game!" shouted a filly running past them both, "Pretend the ground is made of lava!" "Wait, what?" asked Sweetie Belle, looking around in surprise and confusion. "HAHA, YOU'RE IN LAVA!" Rarity pointed and laughed with the other children from the top of the climbing frame. > Definitely bad > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey, Pinkie?" called Mrs Cake as she rolled the pin over the cookie dough, "Lend me a hoof and check if the milk went bad, would you?" "Oh, of course, Mrs Cake!" Pinkie replied, joyfully bouncing into the kitchen. With that, she opened the refrigerator door and peeked inside. "WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT, SMILEY?!" the milk carton yelled, ashes from his cigar dropping onto his beard, "GET THAT STUPID PINK GRIN OUTTA MY FACE!" Pinkie quickly shut the refrigerator door, her eyes wide in terror. "Soooo bad." she whispered. > Hiding always works > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Welcome back, my little ponies!" Cheerilee declared happily, currently writing a math equation on the board, "I hope you all had a wonderful summer, but now that we're back, who here is ready for a whole new year of learning?" When she turned around, all she saw was a barricade of desks and chairs stretched across the back of the room. Apple Bloom's head peeked over the top of one. "Sorry, no one's here." she called before ducking back under. "Just stay quiet and maybe she'll go away." she whispered to the other students hiding behind the barricade. > What did I do? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Trixie!" Twilight snapped as Trixie snatched a cookie off the pile she had on her plate. "What?" she asked innocently, taking a bite of the cookie. ---------- "Trixie!" Twilight yelled when Trixie cut in front of her to take a book of the shelf before she could. "What?" Trixie asked, casually flipping through the pages with her magic. ---------- "Hey, BBBFF!" Twilight called, stepping into her brother's bedroom, "I'm back with the groceries you ne... TRIXIE!" "What?" asked Trixie, lying next to Shining Armor in his bed. > Self reward > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As she walked into the kitchen with a yawn, Pinkie spotted a bowl of fruit in the middle of the table. Yawning, she plucked a grape of its vine and popped it into her mouth. As she chewed it, her tired eyes instantly shot open. "Wow. I am so freaking healthy." she declared at last, grinning widely, "I should reward myself!" ---------- Sitting down at the table, she placed a newly-baked cake in front of her with "YOU ATE A GRAPE!" written in pink icing. "HOORAY FOR HEALTHINESS!" she yelled happily, shoving her whole face into the cake. > Me and my big mouth > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ugh! I can't believe we have to do this stupid homework over the weekend!" Rainbow Dash groaned, clenching the worksheet in her hand. "And I had so much to do on Saturday!" Pinkie added, on her knees in despair. "Oh, please, I already did it." muttered Twilight to herself. Unfortunately everyone heard her. "YOU MEAN YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS?!" the whole class cried, turning to face her with large hopeful smiles. Twilight gulped. "Oh, you better start running." the teacher remarked, not looking up from his phone. "AAAAAAAAAHHH!" Twilight screamed as she sprinted out of the classroom with everyone chasing her. > Misleading news > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Pinkie, please take a seat, dear." Mrs Cake calmly ordered as Pinkie Pie entered the living room. "Sure, what is it, Mrs Cake?" she asked, setting herself down on the armchair. "Oh, we have some big news for you." Mr Cake replied, putting his foreleg around his wife with a warm smile. Pinkie's eyes widened in anticipation as Mrs Cake took a deep breath. "We're once again expecting..." she stated. Pinkie gasped. "...you to move out, Miss Pie, because you're taking up too much space with those party supplies of yours!" Mrs Cake finished. Pinkie's smile drooped.
