> Mater the tow truck's time in Ponyville chronicles > by Thomlight Sparkle 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Coming into Sweet Apple Acres > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone! This is Mater the Tow truck here, Ah'm gonna share my adventures in Ponyville with you. To begin with, Ah'll share my first introduction with one a' the ponies. So it all started when Ah' was driving down the road when Ah' came to a farm. When Ah pulled up to the entrance, the sign read: "Sweet Apple Acres". Then Ah deiced to go in and introduce myself to whoever was here. I drove very slowly when Ah heard a "yee haw!" Ah looked to the side and saw an orange pony running to a tree and she bucked it sending all the apples in the baskets below, My mouth dropped open and Ah was surprised. But then Ah drove up and said, "Well hey there!" She turned around and greeted me, "Howdy mister, a pleasure makin' your acquaintance. Ah'm Applejack, we here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like makin' new friends." Ah was amazed Applejack had the same country accent as me! But to be nice, Ah spoke again, "Shoot, I like you already, my name's Mater. "Mater?" Applejack inquired with a cocked eyebrow. "Yeah," Ah replied, "like tamater, but without the tuh." Applejack then said, "Nice ta meet ya Mater! Ah never met a tow truck before and yer voice is somewhat similar to mine." Ah then said, "Shoot, Ah never meet a talking pony before, but yer the first. Did Y'all work here?" Applejack then answered, "Work here, Ah do more then work here, ma family lives here! Say would ya like ta help me with this harvest?" Ah then said, "Sure, that's what a tow truck does!" Applejack and Ah worked hard all day, she buck the trees and loaded apples into wagons and Ah hitched ma tow cable to them and towed them to the barn. After the work was over Applejack took me to meet her brother. He took to me like grease on a rusty engine. He didn't speak to much, he normally said "Eeyup and Nope." But Ah didn't care he was still mighty fine to me. Applejack then said, "Mater, how'd ya like ta meet ma friends?" Ah replied, "Sure!" And we set off, as we went, Ah told her all bout' Radiator Springs and McQueen. She listened to ever one she told more it sounded like a great place to be. we continued to town and AH couldn't wait to meet her friends. > Meeting Twilight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We came up to what looked like a tree, but this tree was a Library, Ah was very flabbergasted. Applejack knocked on the door and out came out a purple unicorn! Now Ah was beyond surprised, Ah was astonished! Ah was looking at a real-live unicorn! "Hello Applejack." She said, "Who's your friend?" Applejack replied, "Twilight, this is Mater. He's visiting Ponyville awhile." The unicorn then said to me, "Hello Mater, I'm Twilight Sparkle." My mouth was wide open and my eyes were really big, but Ah then said, "Hey there Miss Twilight, it's nice ta meet you." Twilight could understand where I was surprised, Ah had never seen a real unicorn before. She then said, "I can tell you've never seen a unicorn before, but I never met a talking tow truck before, I've seen tow trucks in my books but never one up close. Ah then smiled, it was too good to be real, no one back home would believe me, not even McQueen. Twilight then said, "I know the others would like to meet you." "What others?" Ah said. Twilight then said, "Just come with us Mater." As we went, Ah realized that this place was better than Ah thought. I met a pony similar ta me and Ah just met a unicorn, Ah wonder what other things Ah'd see. > Meeting Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and the CMC > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight and Applejack took me to this big building that sorta looked like a merry-go-round, then Twilight rang the doorbell. It made this cool sounding ring to it. Then out came another unicorn, a white one with purple hair done in curls. Twilight then said to her, "Rarity, we'd like you to meet a friend of ours." The white unicorn came up to me and said, "Oh my, it's a tow truck." She spoke with a french accent, and said, "But this rusty old look won't do." Ah then made a disappointing look and said, "What's wrong with having a rusty old look?" Ah felt offended, then the unicorn spoke again, "Oh sorry darling I didn't mean it like that, it's just that I'm into fashion, and I like things to be neat and tidy. But where are my manners, I'm Rarity." "Nice ta meet you Miss Rarity." Ah said, but I could tell it would take a while for her to get used to me. Then something flew above me then flew back and landed right next to me. It was a blue pegasus with rainbow hair. Ah was amazed Ah never saw a pegasus before, she then said "Hey who's the tow truck?" "My name is Mater." Ah said, the pegasus spoke, "Rainbow Dash. The one and only." Ah could see Rainbow liked me and she then said, "I never met a tow truck before." Ah felt like Ah'd be accepted real easy. Ah then told Rainbow, "You kinda remind me of my friend McQueen. He's a race car." "You know a race car? That's so awesome!" Rainbow said. Rarity was so surprised that she fainted, "Unicorn down!" Ah said. Twilight then asked me, "Does he have a lot of tropheys?" "Yes, he has 4 Piston cups." Ah replied. Applejack smiled and said, "You know, Ah have a bunch a' blue ribbons from the rodeos I compete in here. But Ah can't believe your friends with a race car!" Rarity sprung right back up and said, "What's this race car's name Mater?" "Lightning McQueen." Ah answered. Twilight then stated that Ah'd be very popular here, but she stopped and had a worried look on her face. "Hey what's wrong?" Ah asked. She turned to me and said, "How would the Princess react if she saw you?" The other ponies then went to worried looks too, they hadn't thought of that. Ah was confused, but the they turned back ta me and began leading me somewhere else , Ah wasn't sure where, but Ah just kept going. Then 3 smaller ponies ran to us a yellow one with red hair an' a ribbon in it, another white unicorn and an orange pegasus. "Howdy sis!" said the yellow one, she had the same country voice as me too! "Howdy Apple Bloom!" said Applejack. The 3 ponies stopped right in front of us, Applejack turned to me and said "Mater, this younger sister Apple Bloom and her friends!" "Hello, my name is Mater." Ah said. "Nice ta meet ya Mater, Big Mac told me about you. So Ah got my friends and came ta meet ya!" said Apple Bloom "Hello, I'm Sweetie Belle!" said the small unicorn. "Hi, Scootaloo's the name, riding the scooter with style's my game!" said the orange pegasus. "Sweetie Belle's my younger sister Mater." said Rarity. "We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders Mater." Apple Bloom told me. "The Cutie Mark what?" Ah asked. "The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Mater." said Applejack, then she explained to me what it meant after she finished Ah understood. "You are realla cool Mater, you're the first tow truck we met." Apple Bloom told me. "Did you take Mater to see Fluttershy yet?" asked Sweetie Belle. "Flutter who?" Ah asked. "She's another friend Mater." said Scootaloo. "Just follow us Mater." said Rainbow. so we continued to where Fluttershy was, the CMC was with us. Ah wondered if Fluttershy would like me too. > Meeting Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie's welcome party > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a short while, we came up to a cottage of some sort. In the back was a yellow pegasus with pink hair and shoot it was really long! She was with some animals and for some reason they didn't run, not even the birds. "Why ain't the animals scared of her?" Ah asked. "She have the ability to talk to animals," Replied Twilight. "Dadgum!" Ah said "Dad what?" Applejack asked me, "Oh that's just something Ah say a lot. Ah don't wanna brag or nothin' but Ah have a few other words Ah like saying," Ah explained. Then Fluttershy looked back and say me, she walked slowly up to and just looked at me. "Hey there, My name's Mater." Ah said. "Um, I I I'm Fluttershy." She said very shyly, "Is she shy?" Ah asked. "Yes Mater she is." answered Rainbow "Fluttershy darling, it's okay Mater's not gonna hurt anyone, he's just visiting." Rarity said, Fluttershy looked at me again and kinda got scared, "Fluttershy Ah ain't gonna hurt ya, shoot Ah wouldn't hurt a fly!" Fluttershy then started to feel better and spoke, "I'm sorry Mater, I'm just shy. But it's great to meet a tow truck." "But not as cool as you have the power to talk to animals!" Ah said back. Fluttershy blushed from hearin' this. "Hey Mater, follow us someway else, there's somepony else you should meet." said Applejack, confused Ah followed. Fluttershy joined us. We came up to what looked like a giant gingerbread house with a cupcake on top a' it. When Ah pulled in, a whole bunch a' ponies jumped out and yelled "surprise!" Then Ah was showered with confetti and streamers and then a pink hyper pony hopped up to me and said, "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! Twilight sent Spike to tell me about you so I threw this party for you!" "Wow! That's mighty kind of ya! Ah can't say ah ever had a party of my own back home!" Ah said with glee. Then Pinkie Pie brought me a cupcake and offer Ah try it. Ah was about to eat when Ah took a look at it and I saw a red liquid seeping from the icing, and I realized it was hot sauce, this pony was tryin' ta prank me! So then Ah pretended to eat and reacted like Ah had tasted the hot sauce and I drank water. The other ponies stared angrily at Pinkie, but Ah had a trick up my carburetor, Ah had some of the turned Pistachio ice cream from Japan and Ah put it in a bowl in a style that made it look like an ice cream sundae. Then Ah drove up to Pinkie and said, "Hey Pink, that was one crazy cupcake. Would ya like to try this Pistachio ice cream from my home town?" "Sure, thanks!" said Pinkie grabbed the bowl and gulped the whole down. Ah tried to hold back from laughing and then Pinkie stopped and then screamed at the top of her lungs and ran to the apple-bob barrel and dove her head in. Everyone was surprised while I laughed very loudly. Rainbow then started laughing too and said, "You're the only one who got Pinkie Pie back at her hot sauce cupcake game. What did you?" Then Ah said through my laughter, "Ah never ate the cupcake! Ah saw the hot sauce and pretended to eat it." Rainbow: "Wow! that was smart thinking! What was in that Pistachio ice cream you gave Pinks?" Ah then said, "That Pistachio's ice cream's from Japan. Ah got it from a sushi bar there." Everyone was surprised and laughed. "Mater, that Pistachio ice cream's wasabi, it's a really hot mustard." said Twi. "Oh that, explains why it was burning hot when ah tried it!" Ah said. Pinkie then took her head out and said, "Wow! I can't believe you'd take the hot sauce cupcake seriously!" "Pinkie, Mater never ate the cupcake. He didn't give you ice cream it was a really hot mustard." Rainbow said. "Wow, that was good thinking! Nopony ever get back at me! But that was a great prank!" Pinkie replied. "Shoot Ah pull a lot of pranks back home!" Ah said. After 2 hours the party was over. "Uh where Ah'm suppose ta sleep?" Ah asked. "Not ta worra, there's plenta a' in the barn." Applejack said. So Ah followed her and Apple Bloom back to the farm and drove in the barn and back into a comfy spot. Applejack and Apple Bloom said good night and went in the house. Ah stood there for a few minutes and soon fell asleep with my mind thinking, what to do tomorrow? Ah would soon find out. > The next day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ah was still sleeping peacefully and then Ah heard barking. Ah opened one eye and saw a brown border collie standing next to me. "Winona! Don't wake Mater up!" Yelled Applejack. "Oh is this your dog?" Ah asked. "Yes, Winona's my dog, she help us with herding and other things but we love her." Answered Applejack and Winona came up to her and licked her face. "Down girl!" Applejack said. Then Ah drove forward and hitched my tow cable to a cart ready for work. Me. Big Mac, and Applejack worked hard and with my help the two farmers made it past they're quota. Then when we finished Ah deiced to explore. Ah drove a for a while and as Ah went other ponies greeted me and then Ah heard Scootaloo yell: "Hey leave us alone!" Ah followed the sound and came up to the CMC and two other small ponies were talking very mean to them. "You lame Blank Flanks will never find your talent! said the pony with a crown. "Yeah you 3 will always be lame!" said the pony with glasses. Ah got very mad and drove closer. "Hey! we'll get our cutie marks! You wait and see!" Said Apple Bloom, "Oh really? that will be the day!" said the crowned pony. Ah quietly sneaked up to the two ponies and threw my hook on their tails and lifted them up to my face and said, "Hey leave them alone ya meanies!" The two ponies got stunned and fall from my hook and landed on the ground. "Oh my gosh! Did that tow truck just talk?!" said the crowned pony. "Of course ah did! ah said. "Diamond Tiara, we'd like ya ta meet our friend, Mater the tow truck!" said Apple Bloom. "Your fri-ends with this rusty tow truck!?" said the pony with glasses. "Yes he is! And a great one too!" said Sweetie Belle. "Mater, this is Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. These 2 are always making fun of us because we don't have our cutie marks!" said Scootaloo. "You ain't got the right ta do that!" Ah said to them. "Well your just a rusty tow truck!" said Silver Spoon. "Yeah? Being rusty is what makes me special!" Ah said driving forward toward the two ponies. "You should show some respect for these 3 ponies! Ah don't wanna brag or nothin' but Ah'm friends with a very famous race car! If he say what you were doin' he'd be very mad! But if Ah catch you bein' mean again Ah'll tell Applejack about this! Ah'd even get my friend here!" Ah said sternly, then the two ponies were so busy backing from me they didn't watch where they were going. then they fell into a mud puddle. Ah then turned around and drove up to the small ponies and Apple Bloom said, "Thanks Mater! We owe you one!" "How'd you like to see our clubhouse?" asked Scootaloo. "Of course Ah would!" Ah said, so Ah followed them to where their clubhouse was. > The Clubhouse and The CMC's joy ride. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 3 little ponies took me up to this tree house and took me up the stairs. "Dadgum!" Ah said. "This is where we go to think of ideas to earn our cutie marks!" Sweetie Belle said. "Yeah! And sometimes to get someplace quick we take my scooter and a wagon there!" said Scootaloo. "Hey Mater, can you take us for a ride?" asked Apple Bloom. Ah thought for a moment and remembered what Ah had then answered, "Sure! But you better put on helmets and goggles, because 3 will have a ride of a lifetime!" So they got the helmets and goggles and when they were on the scooter and wagon Scootaloo grabbed my hook and put it on her scooter. When they signaled me I started driving at my top speed. "Wow this is fun! Can you go faster than this?" said Scootaloo. "Can I?" Ah said. "Strap yourselves down! You're gonna have the thrill of a lifetime!" Ah said, then my rockets opened up on the back of me and then they started to rev up. WOW! HE HAS ROCKETS! exclaimed Scootaloo, then my rockets started to rev up ever more then the Cutie Mark Crusaders ducked down and my rockets fired up and Ah flew down the path. Ah was yelling with joy as we went. "This is so awesome! We never gone this fast! said Scootaloo. "Maybe we'll get dare devil cutie marks! said Sweetie Belle. "Yeah! Keep going Mater! said Scootaloo again. Applejack, Twilight, and Rainbow were a few miles ahead talking bout' how cool it was that ah was friends with a race car. "I wonder if we'll see this race car one day? asked Rainbow. "Ah'd would like to meet this award winner too!" said Applejack. "I bet Mater will bring him here someday, I'd like to meet him too. said Twilight. Then Ah rocketed past. Applejack nearly lost her hat. and they were spinnin' in circles from my speed. Then they stopped. "WHOA! WHAT IN TARNATION WAS THAT!? exclaimed Applejack. Rainbow then flew up to me and was so surprised that she hit a tree! She flew back to Twilight and Applejack. "It was Mater! He had 2 rockets on the back of him!" exclaim Rainbow "WHOA NELLY! exclaimed Applejack. He had rockets!? cried Twilight. "Yeah! And he was giving the CMC a lift! exclaimed Rainbow "Whoa! I wonder where he got them rockets?" said Applejack. Ah was speeding down the road through the town and then ah said, "Now here comes the more exciting part!" "How much more exciting?" ask Apple Bloom. "Hold on! Here it comes!" Ah shouted, then ah deployed my chute and we took off! The CMC was enjoying this ride even more than before. They saw stuff they never say before. "We're flying!!!!!!!shouted Scootaloo. Ah knew they were having a good time, but little did I know that someone else was watching me. Ah turned around and started back for the clubhouse. I flew over Rainbow, Applejack, Twilight again but Pinkie Pie was with them this time. "Look Mater's flying!" Shouted Rainbow. "HE CAN FLY?!" exclaim Pinkie. "Wow! Now there's somein' you don't see!" said Applejack. Then the ponies began running after me. AH landed right the clubhouse and to my surprise, The ponies were already there clappin' or cloppin' for me. "Wow! You flew great!" said Rainbow. "You're the first tow truck that I've seen that can fly!" exclaimed Pinkie. "Yer amazing Mater!" Said Applejack. "That was the best run we ever had!" exclaimed Scootaloo. Then the 3 small ponies looked at their flanks to see nothin'. "Still nothing, but that was great! said Sweetie Belle. Ah now knew Ah was popular, among these ponies and ah couldn't wait for what would happen next! > The Princess comes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day, Ah was finishin' up work with Applejack, then the rest a' the Mane Six came to see me. "I wish I was there to see you fly Mater." said Rarity. Ah could see my flying trick had received fans. "Were you scared Mater?" asked Fluttershy. "Na ah enjoined it. The Cutie Mark Crusaders ever enjoyed it. Ah said. "Where'd you get the rockets? asked Rainbow. "A friend of mine give them to me, along with the parachute. Ah was on a spy mission with him, and while Ah was with them ah saw many Lemon cars. Like Gremlins, Pacers, Hugo, and Trunkoves." Ah answered. "What are Gremlins and Pacers?" asked Pinkie. "The Gremlin and Pacer are cars that don't work right and were built very poorly. They use the term lemon for those cars." Answered Twilight. "I've read all about these cars in my guide to cars encyclopedia of cars." Twilight added. "Twilight Sparkle!" said a stern voice. "(GASP) It's Princess Celestia! Mater hide! cried Twilight. Ah didn't know what was going on but ah drove straight to a huge bush and hid behind it. then through the leaves ah saw a huge flying unicorn. But ah saw she was wearing a crown, a golden necklace, and golden shoes. Now this was very different, Ah was amazed at this rare sight. Then Twilight spoke to the huge unicorn. "Hello Princess, what brings you here? Twilight said nervously. "Well Twilight Sparkle, I was looking over my kingdom from my balcony and I saw something strange flying in the sky over Ponyville. This thing wasn't a pegasus or anything I've seen. So I came here to see if you knew anything about it." answered the Princess. Twilight's heart sank, the Princess saw me. Ah was getting very scared, what if she saw me? What would she do? Then Twilight spoke again, "Uh no we haven't seen it but we'll keep an eye out." "Oh also, how would you react if you saw a talking tow truck here?" Twilight then asked. The Princess was confused why her student asked her this, she pondered very hard, she wasn't sure about a tow truck being in one of her towns. She then answered, "That would depend, I'd be mad if it was a bad tow truck wanting to hurt my subjects, but I'm not sure what if the tow truck was nice. But if you see a tow truck, don't get too close just in case. But if you see it's not doing anything bad and it's just a visitor then there's nothing to worry about, but let me know if you see a tow truck." Ah was very worried now, if the Princess did see me. What if she would think Ah'm evil? But ah knew ah had to sneak away, so ah quietly tip-tired to another bush and when ah continued to another. CRACK! Ah drove on a twig! "What was that?" said the Princess. Ah knew she'd find me for sure so ah gunned it in reverse. Ah was just a few feet from the other side of the farm when ah looked forward and saw the princess was flying toward me! But she was going slowly, and the other ponies were following. Ah put the petal to the metal now. "Wow! He's still driving backwards and he ain't crashin'!" said Applejack softly. "He must be the world's best backwards driver!" exclaimed Twilight. Seeing that the Princess would see me ah turned around and turned on my rockets and took off. The Princess couldn't keep up with me, then ah came to a big pond and ah held my breath and jumped in. The Princess landed at the side and looked around and saw nothin'. She was know very confused she turned around and said to Twilight. "So as you know, if you see a tow truck or anything related to what I saw yesterday please let me know." "Yes Princess." Twilight replied. then the Princess flew back ta the castle. Ah threw my tow cable up outta the water and hooked on a strong tree. Ah lifted myself out of the water and when ah was on the land again ah coughed the water out a' ma mouth and said, "Is she gone?" "Yes, yer safe for now sugarcube." Answered Applejack. Rainbow spun around me and dried me off. Ah was very scared now. Ah didn't know what ta do. Ah shakily drove slowly back to the farm and when ah was there I was still scared. "It's okay Mater, we'll figure something out. said Fluttershy. Ah felt better now, but ah was still worried. > My nighttime run > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When the sun started ah went to ma comfy spot in the barn to get some sleep. Then to ma surprise Applejack trotted up to me. "Mater, would y'all feel better if Ah sleep with ya?" She asked me. I told her yes. So Applejack trotted next to me and lied down on the hay on the floor. "G'night sugarcube," she said. "G'night AJ," Ah said. after she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Ah started ta like this sugarcube name she called me, then ah soon drifted to sleep. After four hours passed Ah woke up with a start. Ah had a nightmare that the Princess had found me and assumed I was evil and chased me. then when she had me, she put her horn ta me and and it began to glow. Ah screamed when a magic beam was heading for me. I decided a drive would make me tired, so I quietly drove out a' the barn and drove on the road leading away from the barn. Ponyville was different then radiator Springs, everything was new. Then when ah looked to the side and saw what looked a monster. Ah quickly turned and shone my headlight on it and saw it was just a broken piece of fencing and some tools. Ah was now very scared as Ah drove, then ah went into a forest. Ah was amazing at some of the things ah saw. Then ah heard something approaching me, ah got very scared now. Ah was now so scared ah started shaking so much my metal parts were shaking. Then ah tighten them up and stood still with my eyes closed and waited for what was comin'. Then to my surprise ah didn't feel anything on me. Ah opened one eye and saw a zebra standing in front of me. Ah was still scared. Then the zebra spook, "Are you a tow truck? Because you don't look like a duck or a buck." Ah was still a little scared, this zebra look like she wasn't gonna hurt me but ah wasn't sure. But Ah was amazed that she spoke in rhyme. But then Ah plucked up courage and said, "Yes Ah-ah-ah am a tow truck." The Zebra spoke again and said, "You are indeed a tow truck I see. What is your name it might be? The zebra then smiled at me. "My name is Mater," I said. "What's yours?" Ah asked. The zebra then said, "I'm Zecora my dear. But what are you doing here?" "Ah was just drivin' to make me feel tired and Ah drove in here." Ah answered. Zecora nodded and looked at me again. "You speak with the country tongue, but I can see something's on your mind that weighs a ton." Zecora stated. "Ya got me, I was drivin' because I had nightmare that the Princess found me and did away with me." Ah said. Zecora then said, "You must face your fears Mater, or they will haunt you later." Ah thought for a bit and knew she was right. I couldn't let my fears get to me. "Thanks for the advice, well ah better get goin'. Itt was nice meeting you, " I said then Ah turned to the way ah came and set off. "The pleasure is mine, I hope to see you again and to dine." Zecora said to me. Ah felt better now. Ah followed the tracks ah left before and made it back to the barn. I drove quietly in and pulled up next to Applejack in ma comfy spot and flew into a peace snooze. > The hydra rescue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day, me and Applejack were workin' hard with the apple harvest. But today ah pulled three carts at one time! "Can you tell me more about this McQueen guy Mater?" Applejack then asked me. Shoot! Where ta start! There were so many things ah knew bout' McQueen, but where ta start from was the real question. Ah was about to speak when Rainbow flew in. "Guys, you gotta help! A hydra's chasing the CMC, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity!" exclaimed Rainbow. Applejack's pupils shrunk to pinpricks and her mouth dropped open, her sister was in trouble! Ah knew ah had to help my friends, but Ah didn't what a hydra was. Judging by what Rainbow said, it sounded very big! "Well what ar' we waiting for? We gotta help!" ah shouted, then ah threw my hook on a cart. Applejack and Rainbow jumped in and ah took off. When we were on the path leading to the hydra thing, ah turned on ma rockets and we took off faster! Applejack was hanging on her hat real tightly and while Rainbow was hanging on the front of the cart with AJ hanging on her tail. Ah could see our friends just ahead an' ah saw what the hydra was. it was a four headed dragon. Ma eyes just shrunk from seeing the monster, but ah saw the other ponies runnin' from it ah knew that if ah didn't do somethin' he'd eat them! But then ah saw one head heading towards Twilight. Twilight tried her best to avoid being eaten. She dodged each move the head made. Then it finally got hold of her! It bit her her on the tail! Ah got very mad now so ah sped up and yelled to Applejack ta get rope she knew ma idea and then she began to spin the rope. Ah drove in front of the other ponies Pinkie and the CMC jumped in the cart first. then AJ threw the rope at Twilight and she grabbed it with her mouth. Then ah braked, and when ah flew back the rope pulled Twi so hard, the Hydra flipped and crashed on the ground. But then Twilight's tail broke off to where only a small stub was left, and she flew up and landed in the cart. Quickly ah drove forward again right next ta Fluttershy and Rarity. Fluttershy jumped in the cart, but then the Hydra got back up and started chasing us again, and when his foot hit the ground a huge rock was thrown up and it landed on Rarity's tail! Ah stopped and unhooked myself from the cart and threw my tow cable at Rarity and despite it being dirty she grabbed it! Then ah pulled hard with all my might! The hydra was gettin' closer and closer. "Twi, do ya know any spells for turnin' a hydra into a mouse?" asked Apple Bloom. Twi answered no. "Well, what bout' a bunny?" Apple Bloom asked again. Twilight shook her no. "How bout' a..." before Apple Bloom could finish. Twilight then yelled, "NO SMALL ANIMALS OF ANY KIND!" "What about a spell for turning a tow truck into a top kick pickup truck?" Asked Sweetie Belle. Twilight said no to that one. "What about a heavy duty tow truck?" Sweetie Belle asked again, Twi said no. "How about a monster tow truck?" Sweetie Belle then asked, but Twi said no. "What about a..." Before Sweetie Belle could finish, Twilight then said, "NO STRONG TRUCKS OF ANY KIND!" Ah was still pullin' as hard as ah could then with a loud snap! Rarity's tail broke! But there was only a small bit left and Rarity flew in the cart. Ah re hooked on it and drove away from the hydra but he wasn't ready to give up! Then Ah came up to a cliff side and ah saw some loose rocks. So ah bumped into them and they came tumbling on the hydra, now he gave up. When we came up to Twi's house Ah was very tired but happy for what ah did. "Oh Rarity! Your beautiful tail! said Twilight looking at the stump. "And my tail's gone too! she said looking back at her. "It fine's my dear! They'll grow back. Our lives are more important. Rarity said with confidence. "Thanks for saving us Mater! You're different than what I thought!" said rarity, then she gave me a kiss on the cheek ah blushed. "Oh Mater! Look at that dent on your side!" said Twilight looking at my right side. "Don't worry darling, I can fix that." said Rarity. "No thanks, ah'm gonna keep that dent. Ah replied. The ponies were confused at what ah said. Then Ah said, "Ah come across each one a' these dents with ma friend McQueen. But this one is very special." "So you consider your dents valuable?" asked Twilight. "Ah think they help him remember the good times he's had." said Applejack. "Eeyup, that's exactly why ah keep ma dents!" Ah said, the ponies now understood. "Thanks fer savin' ma sister Mater." Applejack said. "Not a problem, that's what a tow truck does!" Ah said back, but none of us knew that someone else watched me do that rescue. > The enexpected > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ah was awake when the sun shone and the rooster crowed. Ah stretched ma wheels and stood there listenin' to the sounds of the farm, it was great ta hear. Ah looked to the side and saw Applejack was still sleeping peacefully. Ah'll admit she wuz purty with the way she slept. But ah looked outside and saw the sun risen higher, ah had ta wake her up. Ah touched her ear with ma hook and it twitched, ah snickered quietly. Then ah touched her ear again and it twitched again but she didn't wake up. She was a very heavy sleeper! So ah honked ma horn loudly, she shot up and hit the ceiling and landed back in the hay. Ah laughed and laughed. She shot up and said "Why you whipper snapper! Ya know how to give someone a startle!" After she got up on her hooves Ah hooked on a cart ready ta do more apple harvest. After three hours we had picked enough apples ta feed a leopard bus! Then the other ponies came up. "I couldn't do my thing without coming to thank you again." said Rarity. "Yes we can't turn away from you after you saved us!" Twilight added. "Twilight! There you are! said a voice, we looked forward and saw the Princess heading to us. "Oh no! She's come ta get me!" Ah exclaimed. Then Ah started to gun it in reverse and ah took off. "Is that the tow truck from yesterday? I'd like to talk to him." said the Princess then she told Twilight what she saw yesterday. The other ponies went to shock when the Princess finished. "Mater! Wait!" Yelled Rainbow and they took off after me. "Please, Ah don't wanna be caught!" Ah yelled to them. "But Mater, Princess Celestia wants to talk to you!" said Twilight, but Ah wasn't ready to talk to her. So ah turned around to try and lose them. "Leave me be!" Ah yelled to them. But somehow they were catching up ta me very fast. Then they were a just few feet from me as ah drove. "I'M NOT LETTING YOU, ESCAPE ME THIS TIME!" said the Princess. They eyed my tow cable swaying up and down as ah drove. Then Applejack jumped up and grabbed ma hook! Then the next thing ah knew, ah was being lifted off the ground and wuz turned around. The Princess had used her magic on me! She brought me up close and set me down. Ah wuz bout' ta try an' escape again, but ah figured nah. "Okay, you get me." Ah said to the Princess. She walked up ta me and took a good look ate me. Ah nervously smiled to her. She looked at me for a bit and nodded. Ah was very scared now, Ah shut ma eyes preparing for the beam of magic, but.... nothin' happened! Ah looked and saw she was smiling. "Mister tow truck, I'm proud of you! the Princess said, ma mouth dropped open. "I saw you through my telescope yesterday, I saw you save my faithful student and her friends form that hydra! I don't think I ever met a tow truck with your amount of kindness and courage! So I came all this way to personally thank you for saving my faithful student." She said with happiness. Now ah was very surprised! "But why did you run from me before?" she asked. "Ah thought y'all would think ah was evil and came get me! Ah answered. The Princess was stunned by what ah said. "Mister tow truck, I wouldn't just assume you'd be evil, if I first saw you. I would just study you before I'd do anything! But you showed me what side you're on after I saw that rescue. So to show my gratitude, you are welcome here anytime you want. So in other words thank you for saving my faithful student." said the Princess. "Oh what's your name?" she then asked me. "My name is Mater." Ah answered. "Well Mater, I'm very grateful for your bravery. Thank you." said the Princess, "Now I must be off now, nice meeting you Mater!" added the Princess, and then she took off and headed back for the castle. "Dadgum!" Ah said with amazement, the ponies were amazed too! Now even the Princess liked me! Ah knew now, ah would great to be known very well here. Ah then set of back to the farm with the ponies followin' me behind. Now this was very great! McQueen would never believe me for sure! > McQueen comes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Later that day me and Applejack were doin' more farmin'. Then ah heard someone call ma name. Ah looked around and then the voice got familiar! "Mater! There you are!" shouted a familiar voice and ah saw McQueen driving towards me. "McQueen! What are you doing here?" ah said. "I wanted to check on you after you left. answered McQueen, "So, what's happened so far?" He asked. "Well, Ah met some talking ponies and got a job ta do here." Ah answered, "The pony who's here is a farmer with a similar voice ta mine. Her name's Applejack, but Ah'm also met some unicorns and pegasuses." Ah added. "WHAT?! Unicorns?! Pegasuses?!" shouted McQueen, "There's unicorns and pegasuses here? How do I know you're telling me the truth?" McQueen asked. "Then what's that?" Ah said pointing to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. McQueen's mouth dropped open when he saw Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. "Mater! Where are you?" called Applejack. "McQueen, can ya come back later ta meet ma friends Ah'm not ready ta show you yet." Ah said ta McQueen. "Alright Mater," answered McQueen and he turned around and drove back. "Mater, who were ya talkin' to?" asked Applejack with a crooked eyebrow. "Applejack, there's someone ah'd like ya ta meet. But can ya get the others and yer sister?" Ah said. "Sure Mater, be right back," answered Applejack and she turned around and trotted out the farm ta found the others. > Kidnappin'! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- One hour later all the Mane 6 and Cutie Mark Crusaders were gathered. Then ah turned to where McQueen went and was bout ta call him, when suddenly an airship flew down and a net flew out over the ponies. Ah quickly turned and tried to free them, when they were lifted by magic and brought to the airship. There standing was Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and a blue unicorn with white hair. "The Great and Powerful Trixie thanks you for finding these ponies. I'll give you credit later tow truck. Now if you'll excuse us , we must be off," said the blue unicorn and then she walked up the ramp and the airship took off. "MATER, HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP!" yelled the ponies. then the airship turned and flew away. "Guys! Ah'll save ya!" ah shouted and then McQueen drove up. "Mater, what happened?! I heard someone call for help!" McQueen said. "McQueen, the ponies were just kidnapped by a bad unicorn!" Ah answered. "Oh no!" said McQueen. Ah was ready ta leave when, ah knew ah had ta tell the Princess. so then ah toke off for the castle with McQueen behind. Then he hooked on ma tow cable, then Ah deployed ma rockets and parachute, and we took off. After a few minutes we made it to the castle. Once we were on the ground, we drove to the doors, Ah told the guards what was wrong and they opened the doors. The Princess was sitting on the throne. She was surprised ta see me and McQueen pull up. "Mister Mater, what you doing here?" asked the Princess. "Princess, Twilight and the others were kidnapped by a blue unicorn named Trixie!" ah answered. The Princess was shocked! Then she walked up ta me and said sternly, "Thank you for telling me. You must go help them! That's an order!" Then after she pointed us to get goin' me and McQueen took off. > Climax PT1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a short while, me and McQueen came up to a big building. Inside we saw a light. Then we drove closer and looked through window and saw the ponies were tied to poles. After seeing this, Ah knew we needed help, so me and McQueen snuck in and made our way to the communications room and sent an SOS out. Twilight was tried with her arms tied behind the pole and she then spoke, "Trixie, where do you have us here?" "Well, Twilight Sparkle, Trixie has you all here to get vengeance on you. After everything you did to me, I can't let you get away with it! So now here you are! Also Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon have the CMC here for their revenge too. Now you all will be finished!" Trixie answered. Me and McQueen waited a while and then the backup came. Finn, Luigi, Guido, and few other pulled us. Then Ah gave them the plan. Phase 1: the distraction Trixie was gettin' something, when there was a knock at the door. "(groan) Now what?" said Trixie. Then she and the two mean filla's walked to the door and when they answered, outside was Mike Wazowski and he was doin' a show. At first Trixie and others didn't find it amusin' but when Mike got to the painful stuff they started to enjoy it. So they sat down and watched. Phase 2: Freeing the prisoners While Mike had them distracted, Me and WALL-E drove up to the ponies. "Mater! you've come to save us!" said Twilight. "YAY! We're saved!" Yelled Pinkie, then WALL-E covered her mouth before she could any more. "Quiet! You dadgum stinker! Trixie will hear you!" Ah said, "Now who wants ta get cut loose first?" Ah asked. "Free our sisters first, they need it more than us!" answered Applejack. so then WALL-E drove behind the CMC's poles and started to cut loose the ropes with his laser. Once they were free, we were bout' ta start on the others when.... "Hey! Who's there?" shouted a voice, quickly me, WALL-E, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders hid. Then an odd guy walked up. He was a mixture of different animals. "Discord!" said Twilight, "But how did you escape?" "Well, after you ponies had imprisoned me, Trixie came and released me! She learned a spell for turning statues to life and she used it on me. But now I'm past chaos, I just want revenge on you! answered the strange guy, then he took a look and saw same poles were blank. "Huh? What did the fillies go? Oh well at least you're still here! But I'm gonna let you keep your horn and wings! If you tried to use them they wouldn't work. that's because the only way out is through that door! Plus the walls are magic-proof. Now I'll be back, I just need to get something." Discord said and then he walked up the stairs. Luckily me and WALL-E were up on a platform hanging from the ceiling. Now this situation was worse than ah thought! Now there was someone else we had to defeat! But Ah was prepared to go with a fight! But we needed extra help to free ma friends. Ah thought very hard on what ta do. Then when Mike finished Trixie payed him a tip. "There you are mister, a tip for a great show! Now we've got work to do!" Then she and the two mean fillies walked back in. Then they saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders were gone! "Hey! Twilight Sparkle! WHERE ARE THEY?!" shouted Trixie. "I don't know anything!" Answered Twilight. Then Discord came down an elevator with an odd machine and he walked to Trixie and put the machine towards Twilight. "Say hello to the Tickle Master 10,000 Twilight Sparkle." Trixie said. "Hello." said Pinkie. Then Trixie started to walk to one end of the Tickle Master. "Hey, where are you going? We'll-we'll talk. Come on, we'll have a latte!" said Pinkie. Then Trixie turned to the controls and turned on the machine to half power. "If you don't wanna do this the easy way, we're gonna do this hard way!" said Trixie and then an arm with feather on the end began extendin' to Twilight's belly. Twilight tried to avoid being tickled but she couldn't escape the feather. Then it touched her belly and began the ticklin'. She began laughin' very hard. Ah was in shock! Me and WALL-E were watchin' from the edge of the platform. Ah couldn't bear watchin' Twilight being tickled so much! Then Finn came right next to us on his harpoon cables and watched too. Then he got prepared to fight back be deploying his guns. Twilight was still laughin' very hard, but she still refused to talk. Trixie got very mad and she put the machine at full power, now the feather was movin' faster and Twilight was laughin' even harder! Now Ah was very mad, then Apple Bloom walked on the part of the platform we was on and looked over the side. The platform's supports began to creak, (POP!) a bolt flew out, Sweetie Belle saw the bolt fall and looked up. She saw the platform was getin' ready ta break loose. "Uh, Mater?" Sweetie Belle said. "Not right now." Ah said, then Scootaloo walked on the part of the platform and looked over the side, then three bolts popped out. Now the platform was now held up by the last two bolts. "MATER!" Sweetie Belle said again and she jumped on the platform. Ah turned to her and she pointed up to the supports. the last two bolts were just bout' to pop out. "Uh oh, this ain't gonna be good." Ah said. then the last two bolts popped out and we started to fall then ah threw ma tow tow cable on a pipe and we swung to a balcony. the Cutie Mark Crusaders were screamin' as we swung. The other heard us. "Do you hear something?" said Trixie, then we knocked over 3 towers of tires, and ah landed on a huge button that turned on a giant horn on the balcony. "HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNK!" The horn went, Trixie was so surprised, she bonked her head on the visor on the machine. "OWWWW!!!!!" Trixie shouted. Ah was glad they didn't see us. "Remind me to turn off that horn." said Trixie rubbing her head. Then the machine stopped! Me, WALL-E, and the CMC were confused, we didn't do anything. "(GROAN!) What happened now!?" said Trixie. Then she turned to on of her stooge robots and said "Go check the machine!" While the robot was looking at it the bad ponies and mish-mash guy heard a thud on the cord. So they followed the cord. then when they made it to the outlet, they saw it was unplugged. As the robot was still examinin' the machine Finn threw one his grappling cables on the robot's legs and flipped him. Then WALL-e snuck up to the controls and fiddled with them , just as Trixie plugged the cord back in. When they came back, the machine was tickling Twilight, it was moving the feather next to her. Trixie turned the machine off and found someone had fiddled her machine as she and the others were fixing it. > Climax PT2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- WALL-E cut the ropes holding Rainbow and Applejack and he lead them to us. Once the machine was fixed, Trixie saw two ponies were gone too! Now she was very mad! She turned a handle on the controls and three more arms with feathers came. Then she put the machine to full power, and it tickled Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie. They were laughin' so hard that their stomachs ached. "TELL US WHERE THE OTHERS WENT!" shouted Trixie. But despite being tickled like crazy, the four ponies refused to speak. Ah didn't know what ta do now, ah was outta options. Then Scootaloo stepped on a corner of the balcony and the bolts holdin' it came out! Then with a creak and clunk the balcony broke loose! We slid down it very fast. the CMC were still screamin' as we fell, WALL-E had a hold of ma tow cable. He was tryin' ta slow me down by holdin' back with his treads scrappin' on the floor so much, sparks flew! then we hit solid ground. Trixie and others turned to us. We were exposed! "It's the tow truck!" shouted Trixie. Now we were in trouble. But then Finn went into action, he began firing his guns at Trixie and the other bad guys. Some hit them and some didn't. Trixie looked up and saw Finn, then everyone else came in ready to fight. "The tow truck's brought friends!" she shouted, then she pressed a button and robot soldiers came out. "GET THEM!" Trixie ordered then, we all charged to them. We each were givin' these robots what for! Guido was loosenin' the bolts on some while tripping them with his arms. EVE was blastin' some with her laser gun. Sully had pulled out a metal pipe and was using it as a bat. Finn came back down on the ground and was shootin' some robots with guns and karate fighting others. Applejack and Rainbow were buckin' some robots. Fluttershy was actin' scared at first, then she plucked up courage and began fighting too, Rarity was punching all the robots that came ta her, and Pinkie was hitting robots with a confetti cannon. McQueen had some robots chasin' him, but he began drivin' in circles. then the robots got very dizzy from goin' in circles. One robot was heading for Applejack and Apple Bloom, then ah jumped in and kicked the robot away, then ah kicked another one, ah drove into another, then with a battle cry ah swung ma tow cable on the tail of Diamond Tiara and threw her at Ramone who blinded her with paint. Then Finn shot the ropes holdin Rarity. WALL-E cut the other ones with laser. then once all the ponies were free Trixie, Diamond T, Silver Spoon, and Discord were now scared. "RETREAT!" shouted Trixie, but ah wasn't ready ta give up yet. Ah threw ma tow cable at them, and ma hook caught them by the tails! Ah pulled them back and and began ta spin them ah knew exactly where ah wanted them ta end up. So ah spun them faster. As Ah spun them, they went faster and faster. Everyone was watchin' me spin them and soon ah began spinnin' them so fast that Rarity got sick and threw up. Pinkie was starting to turn green fro watchin them get spun. Then when they were spinnin' so fast that their colors made the spinnin' color ring. then ah let go. The bad guys flew and flew and then Diamond T and Silver S hit an I-beam, Discord hit the wall, and Trixie was thrown back by a cable. Then she flew back and landed inside a crate which slammed shut and slid right into a steal wall. When the crate hit the wall, it burst open and Trixie got knocked unconscious. Then Ah hand the Mane 6 the Elements of Harmony, the Princess handed them to me just in case. Then the 6 ponies used them to turn discord back into a statue. then EVE hovered up to the statue, and aimed her laser gun at it. "What is she doing?" asked Twilight. "Ah think EVE's gonna sure Discord stays a statue." Ah said, then EVE fired her gun and the statue was shattered into a million pieces. Diamond T and Silver S got off the wall and then ran away scared out of their wits. When Trixie came back conscious, Ah drove up to her and grabbed her tail with ma tow cable, then as we drove out, Ah spun her again, but this time when ah let go, Trixie flew far, far away. As she flew, she yelled, "I'll be back! No one beats the GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE!" But Twilight knew it would be a while before she came back.
