> Green and Friends - Saga 1 - Domestics > by blaa6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 - Part 1 - Twilight and Spike > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It had been a week since Green Thunder had arrived in Equestria. The majority of the town had been indifferent to him, Twilight and her friends had more or less accepted him, and some ponies had even warmed up to him. He had gotten accustomed to the world relatively quickly. He got back to playing games, watching anime and, most importantly, making new friends with the help of the ones he'd already made. Sunlight seeped into his room through the curtains. As it did, his eyes opened gradually as he sat up and yawned. He swung his back legs out and pushed off the bed. He stretched before using magic to tuck the sheets and covers, then looked back at his belongings. ‘Today is an outside day’ he said to himself. He magically opened the door, trotted through, and closed it. As he descended the staircase, he saw Spike with a scroll run to the meeting room. ‘Wonder what’s up,’ Green thought. He hurried down the stairs and headed towards the meeting room as well. As he opened the doors, he saw Twilight rushing back and forth to get the room in tip-top shape. “Uh...Twilight? What are you doing?” Green asked. Twilight turned to see him in the doorway. “Oh hi, Green. I was just preparing for a heavy duty cleaning of the castle.” “Can I help?” Twilight’s eyes sparkled with delight. “Of course you can. We need all the help we can get.” She teleported a broom and dustpan over to him. Green took them and began to sweep. “So, anything happening today?” “Actually, yes.” She trotted over to him. “It’s Derpy’s birthday and we wanted to throw her a party,” she said. Green’s eyes lit up. “Aww...you guys are so sweet.” Twilight blushed a bit. “It was Pinkie’s idea,” Spike interjected, duster in claws. He descended the ladder. “’Derpy needs some love’ she said.” “Well I think that’s a great idea,” Green replied. Twilight’s eyes widened. “That’s right. We still need to get some supplies.” She carefully put down the cleaning supplies and teleported away, reappearing at the closet door. Green followed suit, appearing next to Twilight as Spike put down the duster and hurried to catch up. Twilight magically opened the door as all three entered. “Ok. We’re looking for a disco ball, streamers, blowers, banners, and confetti.” “What? No balloons?” Spike snarked. Twilight sighed as she searched the bottom shelves. “Pinkie insisted on at least blowing up the balloons herself. The thing is, we got chosen to take care of the majority of supplies. Applejack is helping cater, Rarity is providing a bit of decor and gift wrapping, Pinkie is in charge of balloons and cake, Fluttershy is taking care of the guest list, and Rainbow is in charge of rainbow sprinkles and poppers, as well as party games.” Green’s eyes lit up as he smiled in glee. Twilight smirked and rolled her eyes. “I hear she’s gonna bring spin the bottle,” Twilight whispered in his ear. Green blushed hard as he looked away, seeing a round object in a pile. “Hey look. I found the disco ball.” He levitated it in front of them as he gently set it down on the floor. “Streamers!” Spike shouted, pulling out a big bag of them. Twilight looked behind a jar on the second level of a shelf. “I found the blowers,” Twilight said. Green and Spike snickered as they kept searching. “The Banners are over here.” Green pulled them out from behind a shelf. “...And here’s the confetti,” Spike said as he grabbed the large bag. “Well that didn’t take long, now did it?” Twilight smiled as they made their way out of the closet. They put everything down on the table, and Twilight began to clean the ball. “Green, can you check in on our friends to see how things are going?” “You sure you two don’t need my help?” Spike chuckled at that. “It’s ok, dude. We’ve got this...” “Together!” They sang together. Green deadpanned. The two laughed as Green began to leave. “Remember, Green. Meet us at Sugarcube Corner by 5pm,” Twilight reminded him. Green waved a hoof back in acknowledgment as he opened the front door, trotted out, and closed it behind him. > Chapter 1 - Part 2 - Fluttershy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Green Thunder trotted around the square, saying hello to some of the ponies. Lyra, Bon-Bon, Octavia, and Vinyl were all keeping the birthday girl busy as Green and his friends set everything up. As he turned the corner, he saw Fluttershy handing an invitation to Berry Punch. “Thank you so much. We’ll see you there,” she said as Berry closed the door. She turned and saw Green looking at her. “Hello, Green Thunder. How are the preparations from Twilight’s side?” “We found everything we needed. The others are finishing up before they head to Sugarcube Corner. She asked me to check with you guys. So, how are things going?” Fluttershy smiled. “I’m just about done with the final invitations. The last one is for Maud, just outside of Ponyville. Would you like to come with me?” she offered. “Sure,” he replied. They began towards Maud’s cave. Fluttershy looked at the clock on the street corner. “As much as I love nature and would love to walk there, we are on a bit of a time crunch. Why don’t we just teleport there?” Fluttershy suggested. Green Thunder face-hoofed. “Right. We’re in a hurry. Ok. Here we-” “WAIT!” Fluttershy said suddenly, putting a hoof to her ear. “Ms. Fox?” Out of nowhere, an orange fox came out of the bushes and ran over to the yellow pegasus. The fox was panting and whimpering. “Aww. That’s terrible.” She turned to Green. “Ms. Fox’s pups are trapped under a rotten bridge. I need to help. Go on without me.” Green put up a hoof. “I’m going too.” He leaned over and pet the fox. “I will always help a lady in need.” He puffed out his chest. Fluttershy chuckled as the fox hopped up and zoomed in the direction of the bridge, Green and Fluttershy in hot pursuit. They approached the bridge. “Ok. You tell Ms. Fox that I’ll lift up the bridge so they can get out fast,” Green exclaimed. She nodded as she explained it to the fox. The fox ran under the bridge, told her pups the plan and they all huddled together. Green fired up his horn as he lifted the rotting bridge with his magic. The fox and pups scurried out from where the bridge used to be. Fluttershy went over to them to see if any of them needed help or was injured. While she did that, Green took the rotting pieces and teleported away with them. He teleported back with a few bundles of wood and nails. He started to spin into a tornado, lifting the supplies into it as the tornado went to where the bridge once was; Hammering and sawing noises could be heard from inside the commotion. Fluttershy and the foxes looked up to see what was happening; the tornado slowed and came to a stop. “I present to you your new and improved bridge!” He exclaimed, pointing to the newly constructed bridge. It was painted with a Chestnut finish along with a very detailed engraving of the ponies and the foxes. They looked at the bridge in awe. “That’s not all.” He pointed towards the space under the bridge. They looked under to find a large pet bed with many pillows and blankets. The foxes piled onto Green, licking him happily. “H-hey! Stop! That tickles. You’re welcome.” They got off of him and made their way under the new bridge. “That was so nice of you, Green. Thank you,” Fluttershy said, smiling at him. “I’ll do anything to help out,” he replied. “Now then. Shall we?” She nodded as they teleported to Maud’s house. Once they arrived, they headed into the cave. Green still couldn’t believe Maud would live in a cave with gems and geodes, but he knew she loved rocks, boulders and all things geological. Once they had made it into the inner cavern, they saw Maud eating some Rocky Road ice cream. She turned to face them. “Hello, Fluttershy. Green. What can I do for you?” She said with her signature monotone voice. Fluttershy trotted over to her and held out an invitation. “Derpy’s birthday party? Sounds good. I’ll be there.” Fluttershy smiled as she gave the paper to Maud. “We’ll see you-” Fluttershy began, but when they turned to face her, she was gone. “M-maud?” They looked around. “Maybe teleporting and fourth wall powers run in the family?” Green suggested. Fluttershy just took a deep breath and let it out. “I’m done with my job. Can I please get a lift back to my cottage? The animals need a quick dinner before the party,” she said. He teleported them out of the cave and right in front of her cottage. “Thank you.” She started trotting to her front door. “Do you know where Rarity is?” he asked. She turned around to face him. “At her boutique, I believe,” she said, nodding sweetly. “Thank you,” Green replied as he teleported away, Fluttershy headed into her home and shut the door behind her. > Chapter 1 - Part 3 - Rarity > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Green appeared in front of Carousel Boutique in an instant. Looking over to the building, he trotted over and knocked on the door. “Coming!” a voice sang from inside. He could hear shuffling inside as well as sounds of trotting getting closer. The door opened with magic to reveal Rarity. She looked at him and smiled. “Green. Nice to see you. Come in, come in. I’ve finished the gift wrapping and I was just on my way to help with the decor,” she spoke, looking over at the clock. “Although I think I have just enough time to fit you for a new outfit.” She walked behind Green and pushed him inside the boutique, shutting the door behind them. “Are you sure you have enough time? Twilight said that-” “Oh pshaw, Green. You should know me well enough by now that I am a time management master,” Rarity hoofpumps the air. “Says the pony that takes about ten minutes to put on makeup and three to five to do her mane and tail.” Before Rarity could interject, Green continued. “Yes, I’ve been told this by valuable sources.” Rarity deadpanned. “Some things take time, darling,” Rarity said. They arrived in front of the pedestal in front of the mirrors. Green stepped onto it. “Stand still...for one...moment.” She put the suit on him using magic. “There. Now to fit it.” She got some measuring tape, a few needles, and thread as she examined the suit. “So...how long do you-” he began to ask. “Five minutes give or take,” she interjected. Green grinned a bit. ‘Might as well talk about it while I’m here,’ he thought. “So...what’s up with you and Spike?” he asked nonchalantly. Rarity’s magic faltered poking him with the needle. “Oww!” “Spike? He’s a good friend. N-nothing more,” she said nervously as she moved on to the back legs. “Are you sure?” Green grinned a bit. Rarity sped up a bit, sweating and blushing a bit. “Y-yes I am.” She moved on to the final leg. “I don’t see why he couldn’t be given a chance. He’s grown a lot since you first met him. He’s a bit taller and now has wings.” She started to sweat more and blush heavily. “He’s nice, giving, extremely helpful and very loyal.” She finished up the last stitch as she teleported the suit off of him. “Look at that! I’ve finished. Sorry to see you leave so soon, darling, but I must prepare for the party.” She rushed him out of the boutique as she blushed so much, she might be mistaken for Big Mac. She pushed him out of the building. “Why not check in at Sugarcube Corner? It’s almost time after all.” She slowly closed the door. “See you there,” Rarity finished as she closed the door. Green chuckled to himself as he formed plans for another day. Rarity leaned against the door, sweating and blushing intensely. “That was too close.” She looked at a picture of Spike on the coffee table to her right. She levitated it over, grabbed it with her hooves and held it close, smiling as she blushed. > Chapter 1 - Part 4 - Pinkie and Applejack > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Green trotted as he approached Sugarcube Corner. It really did look like a giant gingerbread house; so much so that he might have eaten it if he didn’t know better. ‘Note to self: Get gingerbread cookies,’ he walked over to the door and knocked. “Who is it?” A high pitched voice sang inside. “It’s me,” Green replied. “Me who?” “Pinkie!” Another voice said; It was more soft-spoken and deeper and with a southern accent. “Coming.” The door opened to reveal Applejack covered in flour. “Hey, Green.” She put out a hoof and Green bumped it with his own. “Twilight sent ya?” He nodded. “Greeny!” A pink blur tackled him and they spun in a ball until they came to a stop. He looked up to see Pinkie Pie on top of him and a bit too close to his face. “I’m soooooooooooooooo glad you’re here! We could use your help finishing up the baking. Please help us.” Pinkie then widened her eyes to anime sad eye proportions. “Of course I’ll help.” Pinkie squeed in excitement as she dragged him into the kitchen, Applejack followed close behind. As they entered the room, he saw dozens of different types of desserts. Cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, pies, fudge and so much more; there were even ones he couldn’t identify. "Looks like you've got a lot done already." Pinkie looked at him and smiled. "Yup. But we're not done yet. There's one thing we still need to make. It's the most important food of the party!" She said, holding his face intensely. He blushed a bit. Pinkie noticed this, got up to his ear and whispered, "It's ok. I know you like Dashie. I'm just messing around," she giggled and pulled back. He blushed harder. "Wha?!" he stuttered. Applejack chuckled a bit. "It's ok, sugarcube. It's not really a secret. But it's ok. Y'all seem ok too." Green sighed. "So, what are we making?" Pinkie smiled wider. "Only Derpys favorite food!" She pulled out a drum set from hammerspace and drummed a bit before saying "MUFFINS!" Party poppers suddenly went off behind her. AJ and Green smiled. Pinkie inhaled but Applejack put a hoof in her mouth. "Pinkie, please. No song this time." Pinkie frowned slightly and nodded. AJ removed her hoof and moved to the sink to wash it. Pinkie shook her head and smiled at Green. "First, can you whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in the big bowl over there?" She pointed to the ingredients and the big bowl holding a whisk on the counter. "You got it," he said trotting over to begin. He grabbed the flour in his hooves and slowly poured it into the bowl. Applejack looked at him with confusion as he continued to use his hooves to do the same with the sugar and baking powder; she meanwhile preheated the oven to 375°F. "Aren't you gonna use your magic?" She asked. He turned his head a bit to look over to her while Pinkie puts the wet ingredients in her bowl. "I could but I don't really want to do this faster than my friends," he said as he sprinkled the salt in and started to whisk. "I don't get the opportunity to bake with you guys often so I thought I should take my time." Pinkie and AJ smiled softly as Pinkie whisks the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl behind him; Applejack meanwhile got the muffin wells and baking cups ready. Pinkie peered into her bowl, the ingredients combined quite well. "Ready over here!" She sang out. Green looked at his bowl and saw his mix was ready as well. "Same here." Pinkie zoomed over to him so fast he could swear she teleported. Green let go of the bowl and stepped away as Pinkie combined the mixes and stirred with her favorite wooden spoon. "So, speaking of love lives, what about Twilight?" Pinkie turned her head and smiled. "Oooooh Someone's a curious monkey." Green blushed a bit. "I mean you two have known her more than I have so..." Pinkie smiled. "Well, don't tell her I told you but she was staring at Trixie's butt for a long time once," AJ admitted sheepishly. Pinkie looked at her questioningly as she stopped stirring and began to fill the cups with batter. "Funny, I saw Twi looking at Starlight's booty too," Pinkie replied. Both mares looked confused at each other while Green smiled a bit. "I think I know what to do then," he said. Pinkie's eyes lit up. "PLEASE TELL ME! PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEASE!" Green booped Pinkie on the nose. "It's a surprise." Pinkie giggled as she finished pouring. "Good call, Greeny. I'm...not exactly the best at keeping surprises." She smiled sheepishly. "Ok. Let's get these puppies in." Green opened the now preheated oven as Pinkie used her tail to slide the tray in and close the door. "Now we wait..." The three sat down as Pinkie reached behind her and pulled out Cards against Equinity. Green smiles while Applejack looks at her confused. "You sure about this, Pinkie?" AJ asked. Pinkie looked at the box. "Oopsie. Wrong game." She put the black box away and replaced it with a red box. Green looked at the writing. "Red Flags. The Game of Terrible Dates," he read. "This seems ok." AJ nodded in agreement as they set up the game. "I'll read the rules...let's see..."Pinkie briefly looked for and found the rules. "SETUP: Separate the white cards (Perks) from the red cards (Red Flags) and place them in stacks on the table where all players can reach them. Pick a player to be the Single. The player who’s been on the most dates makes a great first Single. Everyone else takes 4 Perks and 3 Red Flags. THE PERKS: Using what you know about the Single, pick two Perks to create the best date you can for them. Starting with the player to the left of the Single, each player plays their two Perks and reads the cards out loud to the table. THE RED FLAGS: After all Perks are read, and beginning once again with the player to the Single’s left, each player plays a Red Flag onto the player to their left. DEBATE: Now the players argue why the Single should pick their character to date and reject the other candidates. The Single must imagine that they will date this person long-term, and will be expected to do all of the things they would do while dating anyone else. SELECTION: Based on the arguments, the Single chooses a date. The chosen player keeps their Red Flag from that date. Use these cards to keep track of points. The player to the left of the Single is now the new Single." Pinkie took in a long breath. "So now, we decide who's single..." AJ and Pinkie looked at each other and pointed at Green. He shrugged as he waited for them to draw their cards. While Applejack had a great poker face, Pinkie was smiling wider and wider as she looked over her cards. They both put their cards down flipped down. Applejack, as she is to the left of Green, goes first. "She is...a Pokemon Coordinator...and she has blue hair...Pinkie, did you mix in other cards?" Pinkie looked at her stoic for a moment before laughing and taking out an expansion box. "Multiverse Media Volume 1...well that explains it ...kinda," she shrugged. "Best cards I had, honestly." Green just looked at the cards, dumbfounded by the unbelievable chances of those specific cards being chosen. "I'll say this much...those are pretty good cards..." he complimented. AJ raised an eyebrow. "Say what now?" "I'll explain it when we get to the debate." He motioned Pinkie to do flip her cards. "She loves video games and...is a cyan pegasus." Green's eyes widened and cheeks flushed as Applejack's mouth hung agape. Pinkie hollered like a hyena. They all took a minute to relax a little. "Pinkie, did you cheat?" AJ accused. Pinkie fiddled with her duel disc that suddenly appeared. "No, but I think I have super luck." She looked at the card inserted into the disc; "Blind Luck" it read. "The fact that it's those two exact sets is basically impossible." Green deadpan snarked a bit. Pinkie swung a hoof around him. "The impossible is possible! All you gotta do is make it so!" She quoted. "Let's just get to the Flags," he countered. She let him go and put away the duel disc. "Mine is...she loses the Grand Festival," AJ started. "Ok, that is both amazing and scary accurate." "Mine is...Takes a while to stop being egotistical." AJ facehoofed as Green blushed once more. "Time to debate." AJ lowered her hoof. "Now, what did you mean earlier?" "Well, in the human world, I watched the Pokemon anime series. I was introduced to it when I was in elementary school. I came in around the beginning of the big dub cast change in Battle Frontier; Season 9. After that, I watched Pokemon Diamond and Pearl; the following season. There, I came across the new 10-year-old trainer Dawn. Keep in mind, I was around her age at the time. So I crushed on her hard; especially this one episode she was in a dress." Applejack and Pinkie stared at him with keen interest. "That...is...ADORABLE!" Pinkie shouted and hugged him for a bit before she let go. Green beamed. "Thanks. But I'm gonna have to go with Pinkie's for obvious reasons." Applejack nodded knowingly. Suddenly, the timer went off. "They're ready!" Pinkie cheered as she made sure the oven was off before slowly opening it. "Mind if we pick this back up later?" Green asked. Both mares nodded and he used his magic to clean up the cards, reshuffle them and put everything back in the box. Pinkie used an oven mitt to get the muffins out onto the stove top. The door to the kitchen creaked open as Applejack looked over to it. "It's so weird. I mean...what are the chances Dashie would be one of your date options, Greeny? It's like the universe wants you two to...be...together..." Pinkie looked over to the door as she slowly stopped talking. Applejack frowned, looking a bit scared. "Pinkie, what do you mean?" Green froze as he turned around to see Rainbow Dash in the doorway. "huh wha buh?" was all he could get out before fainting on the spot. > Chapter 1 - Finale - Rainbow Dash and the Party > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Green woke to some noise below him. He looked around and, even though it was dark, he saw he was in Pinkie's room and in Pinkie's bed. "Whoa!" Green hurried and got out of her bed... and fell on the floor in the process. "Need some help there?" A voice cut through the darkness. He looked up to see a hoof reaching to him. He took it, stood up and was now inches away from Rainbow Dash's face. In response, he blushed heavily and flew back so fast, he could have made a sonic greenboom. "WHA-WHA?" He stammered, shaking nervously. Dash frowned, looking him over as she inched closer. "Are you ok?" He shook his head while he stopped the rest of his body. "No. Not really." He stood up. "I've been embarrassed too long. Every time I've seen you, I just freeze up. Not to mention what happened just now and a bit ago in the kitchen."Green frowned. Dash sighed. "First off, you've been out for 4 hours. Party started 2 hours ago." He lowered his head. Dash slightly panicked. "But it's still going. Still got plenty of time." She sat in front of him as he sat down too. "Second...I may not know much about romance, but I'm pretty sure you're in love...with me." He looked like he was about to cry. "Wait a minute. I haven't said anything yet." She put a hoof on his shoulder. "I'd like you to confess to me." He looked up at her and blushed. "Really?! But you already-" "Please. Just do it for me." He took a deep breath. "Rainbow Dash, I am in love with you. I've been in love with you for a long time." He sighed. She blushed as she stood up and trotted to the stairs. "Wait. What about-" She stopped before she descended. "You're a cute guy. You've been nothing but kind to me and my friends since you arrived. You're a little odd, but that's not bad." She turned her head to face him, her face was covered in a massive blush. "I'm gonna need some time to think about it. I hope that's ok." He stood up. "Of course. Take all the time you need." He trotted up to her. She smiled. "Thanks." She smirked. "C'mon, stud. Let's party," she said teasingly as she went down first. He followed after her, the pop music getting clearer as they continued.as they continued. > Chapter 2 - Matchmaker - Partners in Love > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Green opened his eyes and sniffed a bit. He caught a scent and took another sniff. He then proceeded to float in the air following the scent teleporting through the bedroom door and floating down the stairs. As he entered the kitchen, Spike looked over to him. "Good...morning, Green," he greeted, rolling his eyes with a smirk. Green sank down into the chair at the table. "Morning, Spike. Mmm...what's cooking?" he smiled as he licked his lips. The purple dragon flipped the pan up and over as the hay bacon and pancakes fell to the plate in front of Green. "Ah! Bacon and Flapjacks." He magically poured syrup over the pancakes and began to eat. As he ate, he looked around the kitchen as the crystals reflected back at him. A moment later, Twilight entered through the door, a bit groggy but not cranky. She sat down and sighed. Green popped a cup of fresh coffee next to her in her #1 Sis mug her brother gave her a while back; she added cream and two sugars and stirred it. He also brought over a cold glass of water and a straw. She took a sip and smiled. "Good Morning, Spike. Green," she said reading another sip. Green had all but finished his bacon and started on the pancakes. "Any plans today? Hearts and Hooves Day is next month you know." Green coughed a bit when he drank his water. "U-uh well, not yet. Hopefully, I will." Green looked at Spike. "What about you, Spike?" He asked while he shoveled his breakfast in his mouth. The purple dragon blushed a bit. "Well, not really anything on my end either. Though I have my eye on one in particular." Green had finished his pancakes. "I gotta go. Things to do and all that," Green uttered, his glass, plate, and utensils in the sink. Twilight looked at him. "Well, somepony is in a hurry. We'll see you later then," she spoke waving goodbye as Green left the kitchen. She looked at Spike. "I can't believe it's been 4 years since we came to Ponyville. Time sure flies." Spike sighed. "Isn't tomorrow the fifth anniversary, Twi?" he replied. She nodded. He looked down. "I miss the library." She looked down as well, frowning a bit. "Me too, Spike.” - Green closed the door to the castle as he trotted down the path. "I gotta get started making plans for Hearts and Hooves Day. They've gotta be the very best for-" "INCOMING!" shouted a familiar voice. Just then, a cyan blob crashed into him. The two rolled a bit before stopping. Green opened his eyes and they widened. He was on top of Rainbow Dash. He blushed so much in one second, he could almost pass for Big Mac. "R-r-rainbow!?" She looked at him and smirked. "Aren't you a forward one." He reeled back and fell over. She laughed. "C'mon. Get up. We got a busy day ahead." She reached out a hoof. He looked up at her and took the hoof and stood up. "What do you mean?" "We're gonna be matchmakers today!" She exclaimed. He looked at her, turning his head to the side skeptically. "Huh?" "I thought since Hearts and Hooves Day is coming up, I figured we should help our friends find some love this year." Green thought about it for a bit. He could spend some time with Dash and learn more about love and the holiday as well as understand what Dash likes. Not to mention tons of shipping and making his friends happy. A win-win he thought. "Sure, I'm game." Dash zoomed over and hugged him. "All right." Green blushed once more. Dash looked at him, blushed a bit herself and put him down. "Let's get started then." They both took off and flew to town. "So, whose first?" > Chapter 2 - The Party Duo > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Green and Dash were nearing the first stop on their matchmaking journey. “So, why are you not at the school as much anymore?” Green asked. Dash smiled in a cocky grin. “We were promoted to Admins.” She hovered next to him. “We just go to a weekly meeting and do everything then. We got new teachers to do our lessons. It was kinda getting in the way for everyone to be a teacher at the same time they had everything else to deal with. The Crusaders and Starlight still work there but only part-time now.” Suddenly, a rustle in the bushes was heard as an orange blob popped out. “THAT’S RIGHT!” it shouted. “AHH!” Green hid behind Dash. He looked over her shoulder to see it was Scootaloo. “My hero,” Dash sarcastically remarked as she reached the ground, Green getting out from behind her. Scootaloo looked at them confused. “Are you two on a date or something?” Green blushed a bit while Dash lit up like a tomato. Before Green could speak, Dash spoke up first. “U-us? On a d-date?! N-no way, squirt. Where’d you come up with a crazy idea like that?” Scootaloo then grinned. “Ok...sure,” she responded. Green coughed. “We’re trying to get some ponies together for Hearts and Hooves Day; Starting with Pinkie and Cheese Sandwich.” He leaned over towards Sugarcube Corner. The three looked through the bushes. “Now how do we do it?” They all sat and thought. “Thinking about them together reminds me of that awesome party they had for me a while ago,” Dash interjected. “Yeah. I saw that party back home and thought I’d love to go to it,” Green replied. Dash looked at him, a touch dejected. Green noticed this. “Something wrong, Dash?” Her eyes widened as she waved her hooves in front of her. “I remember the first Twilight Time with Sweetie and Apple Bloom. We had so much fun together.” “Yeah. Remember the time I crashed into Twi’s tree before the Best Young Fliers Competition?” Dash smiled. Green looked at her. “I still remember the time you all met. How you accused her of being a spy and all that.” Dash blushed. “Well, that was a long time ago. I didn’t know Twi as well as I do now.” Green thought for a moment and sprung up. “What day is tomorrow?” “January 28th. Why?” Dash asked. “I just came up with a way to bring all the ponies together in romance and celebrate a very special occasion.” “A CHRISTENING OF A NEW TREE AND THE ANNIVERSARY OF TWILIGHT AND SPIKEY MOVING TO PONYVILLE PARTY?” Pinkie ask-shouted. "Yup," Dash responded as she put her hooves away from her ears. Pinkie was practically vibrating from joy. "But a party this big needs to have two planners, right?" Pinkie stopped and looked at the three with wide eyes. "Two? Who do you have in mind?" She broke into a nervous sweat. A hoof tapped her on her shoulder. She jumped in the air so high she put Tigger to shame. "Your old pal, Cheese Sandwich is back in Ponyville!" Cheese shouted! As soon as he finished, Pinkie fell on him. After the dust cleared, Pinkie looked at Cheese and bolted up off of him. "Hehe. Nice to see ya, Cheesy," she muttered, helping him up. "I heard everything. I'm ready to start planning this shindig if you are, Pinks." She blushed a bit at the nickname. Green looked at his bare wrist. "Would you look at the time? We need to get going." He grabbed Dash and Scootaloo and ran off. "Good luck, Pinkie!" Cheese looked over at her. Pinkie sweat a bit before pushing him offscreen.
