My Big Flare: Friendship is Epic (THE OLD STORY)
Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Pinkie Promise
Previous Chapter Next ChapterFive days went by, and Rainbow Dash was at the park with her pet tortise, Tank. They were playing a game of chess. Rainbow Dash moved her castle to the middle of the board.
"Ha! Take that!" cried Rainbow Dash.
Then Tank moved his bishop to Dash's castle, and it was also close to Dash's king, and the king had no where else to go, so it was check-mate.
"WHAT?" cried Rainbow Dash. Tank smiled at Dash. "This game stinks! Chess is for nerds!"
Dash threw the board across the park and while Derpy was skipping by with a blueberry pie in her hand. The board hit her head and she fell, and her face was on the pie. Derpy got back up and licked the pie outta her face. "Hmmmm! Tasty!" she said.
"Alright, Tank. We did what you wanted." said Rainbow. "Now we do what I want to do. Last one to the playground is turtle stew! HA!" Then Rainbow started dashing to the playground, and Tank walks slowly there, since he's a tortise.
Rainbow Dash is almost at the playground. "HA! Nothing can stop the great Rainbow Dash!"
"HI RAINBOW!" cried Pinkie Pie as she jumped in front of her.
Rainbow stopped and hit Pinkie while she was stopping. They both fell down. "What are you doing, Pinkie?"
"I came to invite you to my totally fun, totally awesome birthday party tomorrow!" said Pinkie giving her the inventation.
"Alright, cool! I guess I'm down." said Rainbow.
"Great! So I'll see you tomorrow! Bye!" said Pinkie and hops away.
"Alright, Tank! This time you're going..." Rainbow Dash stopped and saw Tank already at the playground, so he won the race. Tank smiled at Rainbow. Rainbow glared at Tank. "Oh, it's on now! Best 2 outta 3!"
Then over at AppleJack's place, AppleJack put on a karate outfit and a headband, then was bucking apples outta the trees, karate style.
Kicking the and punches the trees until every apple falls into the buckets around the trees, then she bows.
"HEY APPLEJACK!" cried Pinkie. As she pops out of nowhere and surprises AppleJack.
"Whoa nelly!" cried AppleJack. "Howdy, Pinkie!"
"HI! Wanna come to my birthday party?" asked Pinkie with a squee.
"Yer birthday?" asked AppleJack. "Well just to let ya know, yer the one that's suppose to be surprised, not me."
Pinkie giggled. "Well today's not my birthday silly! It's tomorrow!" she said.
"Heh! Yeah, alright, thanks!" said AppleJack.
"You're welcome! Bye!" said Pinkie. She gives AppleJack the inventation and hops away.
Meanwhile, at Twilight's house, Twilight was making an experiment with Spike.
"Alright. Drink this." said Twilight.
Spike looks at the potion Twilight made and makes a face. "Blah! Looks worse than corn, chilli, and socks mixed with cream spinach." said Spike.
"Will you guys come to my party? None of that stuff is there! Just cake, ice cream, pizza; you'll love it!" said Pinkie giving Twilight and Spike inventations.
"Alright! Sure. I have nothing else to do tomorrow." said Twilight.
"I do. I'll be NOT having barf potion!" Spike said to Pinkie while looking at Twilight.
"Okay! See you tomorrow!" said Pinkie then hops away.
Then over at Fluttershy's place; Rarity, Fluttershy, and Flare were playing a game of scrabble.
"F-R-I-E-N-D. Friend!" said Rarity spelling that word and putting those letters on the board.
"Nice one, Rarity!" said Fluttershy.
"LOL yeah nice!" said Flare. "But let's try this! Friend... S-H-I-P! Ooooh yeah! Double points for that, baby!" Flare wrote down the score on the score sheet.
"Nice one, darling! This game is pretty fun! I bet Twilight would like this game!" said Rarity.
"Maybe we can play this game at my party tomorrow!" said Pinkie with inventations.
"Oh right, it's your birthday tomorrow!" said Fluttershy.
"I have lots more board games like this!" said Flare. "There's Monoply, Life, Trouble, Sorry; it'll be a "boring party"! LOL get it? Boring party? You're gonna be board while playing these games? LOL get it guys?" Everypony was silent. "Buzzkill, brah!" he said.
"Okay! I'll see ya guys tomorrow!" said Pinkie with a smile, then she hops away.
The next day came, and everypony was going to Sugar Cube Corner for Pinkie's birthday party. Everypony was talking, dancing, playing board games, and video games.
"Happy Birthday, Pinkie! This is a fun party!" said Crystal Iceblast.
"Yeah, I'll say! Who's up for a game of Shoots and Ladders?" asked Flare.
"Ooooh! Sounds like fun!" said Pinkie.
"Alright everypony! Cake's here!" said Mrs. Cakes.
"NO! The cake is a lie, partner!" said Red Engineer.
Then everypony sang happy birthday to Pinkie Pie while Mrs. Cakes puts the cake in front of Pinkie. Then inhales and gets ready to blow the candles, but she takes out a table fan and uses the fan to blow the candles.
"Oh! I see what you did there!" said Crystal.
"THIS BIRTHDAY ROCKS!" cried Pinkie, then she stuffed her face into the cake. She puts her face up with cake all over it. "This cake is delicious!"
"Yeah, it would be better if there was some for us though." said Spike.
"Don't worry, I have another one!" said Mr. Cakes.
"That cake is a lie too!" said Red Engineer.
Mr. Cakes cuts the cake and gives everypony some.
"Aww! Vanilla? I wanted chocolate!" said Spike.
"Sorry, Spike. Pinkie ate the chocolate one." said Mr. Cakes.
Pinkie was still gobbling up the cake she stuffed her face in. Spike made a face at Pinkie.
"So Pinkie? We have presents! You want to open..." asked Rainbow Dash.
"WILL I?" cried Pinkie lifting her face up from the cake and runs to the carpet where are her presents are. "PRESENTS! PRESENTS PRESENTS!"
"Open mine first. It's totally awesome!" said Rainbow Dash.
"Alright!" said Pinkie. She opens Dash's present. Pinkie smiled big, then ran to Dash and hugged her. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, Rainbow!"
"Yeah, you're welcome... Pinkie." said Rainbow with Pinkie still hugging her tight. "Yeah. Alright. There, there, Pinkie!" Pinkie still continued hugging Rainbow, and Rainbow made a face. "Alright, Pinkie. That's enough. Thank you. Pinkie? That's enough now."
"I'M NOT DONE YET!" cried Pinkie still hugging Rainbow Dash for 5 more minutes. Then finally let's go. "There we go! Liked it?"
"Uhhh... yeah. It was great, Pinkie!" said Rainbow.
"I've always wanted a pair of cupcake slippers!" cried Pinkie, holding out the cupcakes slippers Rainbow gave her. "Oooh! This one is regtangular shape! Which means it's a good one!" Pinkie Pie unwraps the present and it shows a white box. "A BOX? I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A BOX! Thanks, Rarity!" cried Pinkie hugging Rarity.
"You're quite welcome, darling!" said Rarity. "But the box isn't the present. It's what's in the box!"
"Oh, silly me!" said Pinkie. She hops back to the box and opens it, and it reveals a big pink and yellow dress with cupcakes and cookies on them. "Wow, Rarity! This is very pretty!"
"I made it myself! It'll be perfect for the next Ponyville dance!" said Rarity.
"Oh I love the Ponyville dance!" cried Pinkie. "Thank you so much! Okay, who's next?" Takes a small present. "Oh it's small. But it there could be more!" Pinkie Pie unwraps the present and it reveals a book. Pinkie was concerned. "Guide to Best Parties, for dummies? Rarity, I think this belongs to one of the dummies at your shop."
Twilight giggled. "You're so silly, Pinkie! I gave you this book so you can make your parties alot better!" said Twilight.
"What's wrong with the parties I throw?" asked Pinkie.
"There's nothing wrong with them." said Twilight. "I mean, if you want them to be beyond amazing, then you should read this book! It has 1000 pages of pure party information to make parties as fun as they can be! The odds of you reading this book and throwing a party after are..."
"Hi I'm Twilight! WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS!" Flare teased Twilight. Everypony laughed.
"No way, Flare! That's the same impersonation of Twilight I do!" cried Pinkie. "Who knew that we are SOOOO much alike!"
"Me gusta!" cried Flare with a 'Me gusta' meme mask on.
"Alright, Twilight! This book will be perfect for the collection of books you give me all the time for my birthday and Hearth's Warming!" said Pinkie with a smile, then she giggled. "Thanks, Twilight!" Pinkie hugged Twilight. "Oh look at this one! It's from AppleJack!" Pinkie unwraps AJ's present. "Wow! You're giving me your hat?"
"That was mah old hat, Pinkie." said AppleJack. "I wore that hat fer a pretty long time. But ah found this one. It's more of a country-style color. Not sounding like Rarity or nuthin'." Rarity gives AJ a look.
"Thanks, Jackie!" said Pinkie as she hugged AppleJack.
"Yer welcome, sugarcube!" said AppleJack.
"Ah! This one is from Fluttershy!" said Pinkie opening the present she gave her.
"Oh, be careful with it. I mean, if that's okay." said Fluttershy.
"HOLY CELESTIA! I'M GONNA RIP THIS THING OPENED!" cried Pinkie unwraping the present. Fluttershy was shaking.
"Oh, be careful Pinkie. I mean, if that's alright. The present is, um, kinda fragile." said Fluttershy with a squee. Pinkie opened the box and smiled. "Those are little glass statues of each of us. Do you like them? I mean... it's okay if you don't."
"I don't like them." said Pinkie.
"Oh... sorry..." said Fluttershy sadly.
"I LOVE THEM!" cried Pinkie. She hugs Fluttershy spinning her around. "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" After Pinkie let her go, Fluttershy was getting dizzy and walked funny with her eyes moving around.
Pinkie also got presents from her other close friends. She got a Birthday cake hat from Bon Bon and Lyra, a hi-tech wrist watch from Red Engineer, a cool mug from Crystal, and Flare's present was last.
"Ooooh! This one feels heavy!" said Pinkie.
"That's what she said!" said Flare.
"I know that's what I said." said Pinkie, then she giggled. "You're so silly, Flare! Silly willy!"
"Lion face." said Flare.
Pinkie opens the card first and it reveals a Hoops and Yoyo birthday card. Pinkie laughed as they were talking. "This is so silly! But what is this?" she asked.
"A Hoops and Yoyo birthday card. When the card opens, it triggers the recording that is inside the card." said Flare.
"Wow! Thanks, Flare! Now let's see the present!" said Pinkie. She was very excited as she opened Flare's present. "WOW! What is this?"
"That's a boombox!" said Flare.
"A what-box?" asked Pinkie. "TAKE COVER!" She jumps behind Rainbow Dash and hides behind her.
"LOL Pinkie, you're so silly! Silly filly!" said Flare. "It won't explode. Not unless you modify it as a bomb or something, but this is perfectly safe! And it'll be a good replacement to your junky gramophone."
"Yeah, you're right. That gramophone does look kinda old does it?" said Pinkie.
"Well I hope you like it! Winky face!" said Flare.
"Flare? THIS IS THE BEST PRESENT EVER!" screamed Pinkie.
"Argh! Darling! Try shouting that into a megaphone." complained Rarity.
Pinkie smiled wide, then took out a megaphone and shouted, "THIS IS THE BEST PRESENT EVER!" The whole building shook while she screamed it.
"What? You think my present wasn't good enough?" asked Rainbow.
"No! I loved your present, Dashie! But Flare's present is the best!" explained Pinkie. "Look! It has a microphone, a play button, a pause button, a slot where you put in candy..." Pinkie took out a chocolate bar and put it inside the tape player. "And lots not forget a place on the top for my records... huh? It's too small. How can I fit my records in there?"
"LOL LOL LOL!" said Flare with his "lol" meme mask on, then he took it off and explained, "Have you ever heard of tape players, or CDs?"
"Of course I have, silly!" said Pinkie. "But I thought this would be a replacement gramophone?"
"Gramophones are so 1940s! Boomboxes are the way into the future, sister! Praise the Wizards!" said Flare. "And there's even a spot where you can play your Ipod!"
Pinkie jumped up and hugged Flare tight. "THANK YOU SO MUCH, FLARE!" cried Pinkie. "What's an Ipod though?"
"This!" said Flare taking out his Ipod Touch. "It's an Ipod Touch! More different than the old Ipods! NOW THIS, is the way to the future! Check it out!"
Pinkie takes the Ipod and uses her hoof to scroll down and pick songs. "Wow, you have alot of songs in here!" said Pinkie.
"Wanna hear one?" asked Flare.
"WOULD I?" cried Pinkie.
"Would you?" asked FLare.
"WOULD I?" cried Pinkie.
"WOULD I?" cried Pinkie.
"Would you?" asked FLare.
"WOULD I?" cried Pinkie.
"WOULD I?" cried Pinkie.
"Would you?" asked FLare.
"WOULD I?" cried Pinkie.
"LET'S JUST HEAR THE SONG ALREADY!" screamed Rainbow Dash.
"You mad, sis?" asked Flare. Then Pinkie puts on the headphones and listens to "Last Friday Night" by Katty Perry. Pinkie was dancing to the song and sang along during the choras.
"Wow! This is thing is amazing!" cried Pinkie.
"How about connect that thang to the boomie-box and let's get shakin' bacon!" said Flare.
"You got it, Flare!" said Pinkie. Then Pinkie connects the Ipod to the boombox and everypony danced. It was going on for the rest of the party, as well as karoke. It was the end of the party and everypony was saying good-bye to eachother and wished Pinkie a Happy Birthday.
"Bye everypony! Thanks for coming! Gummy's party is next!" cried Pinkie. As Flare was walking out she stopped him, because she wanted to talk to him. "Flare, wait!"
"Sup, sister?" asked Flare.
Pinkie started getting nervous. "Um... I was wondering. This Ipod is so cool, and I wanted to... you know... borrow it? Is it okay?" Pinkie asked giving a squee.
"Of course! Borrow it for as long as you want! Just try not to damage it or break it. It can be fragile!" said Flare.
"You can count on me, Flare!" said Pinkie.
"Pinkie promise?" asked Flare.
"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in..." Pinkie promised, but then Flare stuck a cupcake in Pinkie's eye before she can finish.
"I know the Pinkie promise. Mischievious face!" said Flare.
Pinkie giggled. "Don't worry, Flare! I'll take good care of it! Don't worry!" said Pinkie.
"Cya, Pink! Winky face!" said Flare as he winked at her, then walked away.
"Wow! This thing is amazing! I can listen to music anywhere I want!" said Pinkie, but then Pinkie frowned and walked to her gramophone. "But I've had this gramophone all my life. I don't think I'd want to get rid of it. I wonder if you can plug this Ipod in here?"
The next day came, and Pinkie was listening to Flare's Ipod all day and all last night. "This thing is amazing! I almost don't want to give it back!" she said happily as she was jumping around town. "But I must return it. I had it with me for a long time. I think I should return it now."
Then Pinkie went to sugarcube corner and was selling, and cleaning the place up, and taking care of the Cake babies, still listening to Flare's Ipod. Pinkie was listening his Ipod all day. Then it was night time, and she hoped out of the shop still listening to the Ipod.
"Ipods are sooooo fun!" cried Pinkie. "Listen to music where ever I go. It's great!" Then Pinkie stopped hoping and thought. "Hmm, perhaps I should give this back to Flare. I had it enough." Then Pinkie started hoping again. "Nah, he must be sleeping now. I'll return it tomorrow morning!" Then Pinkie tripped on a rock and fell, and the Ipod was lying on the ground in front of her. "Whoa! I have to be more careful! I can't break this... really fun device!" Pinkie giggled. "What can go wrong?"
Derpy was flying by eating a banana. She finished it and tried to throw the peel into the trash can, but it missed. Pinkie was hoping towards the banana peel, unaware it was there. Luckily, Pinkie hoped over the peel and just kept hoping around town. But then Derpy was eating another banana and threw the peel on Pinkie's head by accident. Pinkie started screaming and running around all over the place. "AAAAAH! HELP! A BIG DELICIOUS MONSTER IS TRYING TO EAT ME!" cried Pinkie. Then Pinkie sliped on the banana peel that she missed before and she fell down. The Ipod fell out of her ears and went on top of a sewage drain. It was about to fall, but luckily it didn't. Derpy was walking by and accidently kicked the Ipod into the sewer drain.
"Oops! My bad!" said Derpy. Pinkie was in shock, and then screamed real loud.
"Oh no! Oh no! No no no no no!" cried Pinkie. "What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?" Pinkie repeated as she was running around in a circle while Derpy watched. "Flare's gonna be really mad! I need to get it back!"
"Sup, Pink?" asked Flare as he walked to her.
Pinkie got scared and gave out an embarressing smile. "Hi, Flare! Nothing much really, just going for my evening hop!" Pinkie gave an embarressing chuckle.
"Alright! You still have my Ipod?" asked Flare.
"Yes... of course!" Pinkie lied.
"Sooooo... is it okay if I have it back?" asked Flare.
"Oh... umm... you see... I have... I really like your Ipod so much, that... is it okay if I use it a little longer?" asked Pinkie.
"Alright. Tomorrow morning, kay? I really need it back. I have a project to do, and I get bored easily, so the Ipod entertains me while I work on it." said Flare.
"Of course, Flare! I'll give you the Ipod back tomorrow! I promise!" said Pinkie, still shivering and smiling.
"Kay thanks bye!" Flare said, as he was walking away.
"Bye, Flare!" said Pinkie. Then when Flare was gone she looked inside the sewage drain. "I have to get his Ipod back! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going in!"
Meanwhile at Twilight's house, Twilight was looking through her telescope and taking notes on the stars. She then hears a knock on her door.
"Spike can you get that?" Twilight asked Spike.
"Do I have to do EVERYTHING around here?" Spike complained as he walked to the door. He opened the door, and Pinkie rushed inside and ran to Twilight, and crashed into her.
"TWILIGHT?" shouted Pinkie.
"What? What? What's the matter?" asked Twilight.
"Flare... Flare... Flare... Flare... Flare... Flare..." Pinkie was so freaked out that she can't talk well.
Twilight took out a breathing machine and put the machine's mask on Pinkie's mouth. "That's it, inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale." Twilight said to her as Pinkie was breathing through the mask.
"Woo! Thanks Twilight." said Pinkie with a smile, then she started to freak out again. "TWILIGHT? Flare let me borrow his Ipod, I used it so long, but then I was attacked by a monster, then I tripped, and his Ipod went inside the sewers, and there he was, I didn't want to tell him what happened, because he would be very mad at me, and wouldn't want to be my friend anymore!" Pinkie explained fast, then she started to weep.
Twilight hugged Pinkie. "There, there, Pinkie!" said Twilight, trying to comfort Pinkie. "Look, we'll go down into the sewers and get it. It's simple!"
"Go... down?" asked Spike. "There's monsters, and stinky stuff down there! Why would you want to go down to the sewers?"
"Me? Not just me, Spike. We're all going." said Twilight.
"Nuh uh! No way!" said Spike.
"Spike, you know Flare's technology more than any of us. You have to come!" said Twilight.
"Oh, and because I know Flare's technology more, means I know where the Ipod is. Pinkie had it last. She had it for 24 hours. She should know what it looks like." Spike started to walk away.
"Would you come for a Spikey snack?" asked Twilight.
Spike stopped and looked at Twilight. "Did you say... Spikey snack?" he asked as his mouth started to water.
Twilight took out a box of Spikey snacks, which is a box full of gems.
"I want a diamond today!" said Spike.
Twilight takes out a diamond. "Catch!" she said, as Spike jumped up and ate the diamond.
"Spikey-spikey dooooo!" cried Spike. "Let's do this!"
So Pinkie Pie, Twilight, and Spike walk over to the sewage drain where Pinkie dropped Flare's Ipod. The three of them were wearing bio-suits.
"I dropped the Ipod down here." said Pinkie.
"Alright, just give me a second. I'll get it opened." said Twilight. Twilight activates her horn and removes the drain.
"Pee you!" said Spike, holding his nose. "Smells like a gas station bathroom in there!"
"Huh?" asked Pinkie, confused. "What's a gas station?"
"Oh, Flare made that joke up." said Spike. "I didn't get it really. Gas stations are just places to refuel certain vehicles or something, I dunno. It's from his old town."
"Flare sure has lots of odd places from his old town." said Pinkie.
"Alright, let's go in!" said Twilight putting on her bio-suit's helmet. Twilight activates her horn and lights the path of the dirty sewers. They all jump down there and searched for the Ipod.
"I don't see it. You see it, Spike?" asked Pinkie.
"Nope. I found this chocolate bar though." said Spike holding a brown regtangular thing. "I'm gonna save it for later." Spike puts the 'chocolate bar' in his bio-suit pocket, and the three of them continue on. They keep on walking the dirty sewers and find weird treasures that Spike keeps taking.
"Spike, stop being such a trash picker!" said Twilight.
"Hey, why would ponies flush this stuff down the toilet anyway?" asked Spike. "Look! Magazines, jewelry, hats, who flushes a lawn mower down the toilet?"
"We have to keep looking!" cried Pinkie. "If we don't find the Ipod, Flare will never talk to me again!" Then Pinkie had a vision of Flare.
"Angry face!" cried Flare in her vision. "I don't believe you! I let you borrow my Ipod, and you drop it in the sewers? I trusted you Pinkie! I never want to see you again!" Pinkie's vision ended, and she started sobbing.
"We're not giving up, Pinkie! We'll find it." said Twilight with her hoof around Pinkie. Then the three of them heard a loud roar.
"What was that?" asked Spike.
The ground started to quake, and a giant monster comes out from the sewage water, and it surprised the three.
"WHAT IS THAT?" cried Spike.
"That looks like... a fish. A giant fish!" said Twilight. "RUN! Or in Pinkie's case, HOP!"
Twilight and Spike ran while Pinkie hopped. The fish chased them throughout the sewers while the Benny Hill theme was playing. It was like a scooby-doo chase. Twilight, Spike and Pinkie were disguised wearing mustaches which confused the fish monster. They pointed to the opposite direction, and the fish ran to that direction, then the three of them took off their mustaches and ran the opposite way of the fish. The fish eventually ended up in front of them, and let out a roar. The fish monster chased the three of them throughout the sewers, falling from water falls, avoiding sewer gators, and eventually they went to a dead end.
"It's a dead end!" cried Twilight.
"Noooooo, you don't say!" said Spike sarcasticly.
The three of them were shaking and standing close to the wall while the fish monster was slowly walking towards them. Pinkie looks at the fish's mouth and sees a little device in it's mouth. "That's Flare's Ipod!" cried Pinkie.
"Where?" asked Twilight.
"In the monster's mouth!" creid Pinkie. "We have to get it back! Twilight, you're a unicorn! Use your magic thing on it!" Pinkie pointed to Twilight's horn. Twilight activates her horn and uses it against the fish monster, and it turns back into a regular fish that looked like a yoyo loach.
"Hey, isn't that Yoyo?" asked Spike.
"Who?" asked Twilight.
"Flare's pet fish, Yoyo." said Spike.
"Yeah, it does look like him doesn't it?" asked Pinkie.
"He's still breathing." said Twilight. Then Twilight takes off her helmet which looks like a fish bowl, and squirts water out of her horn and fills the bowl. Twilight puts Yoyo in the fish bowl and he's swimming happy.
"And hey, the Ipod!" cried Pinkie in joy. "We did it!" Pinkie picks up the Ipod, but it's all broken and ripped up, and won't turn on. Then a spark comes out of it along with smoke. Pinkie Pie got really upset. "Oh no! It's ruined!" Pinkie Pie started to cry.
"Flare's not gonna be happy." said Spike.
"It's okay, Pinkie." said Twilight putting her hoof around Pinkie. "If we just explained to Flare what happened, he'll understand."
"Can we fix it?" asked Pinkie.
"YES WE CAN!" cried Spike, then he laughed. Twilight gave Spike an ugly look. "Sorry." he said.
"Maybe. But first I'll take you home." said Twilight with a smile. Twilight, Pinkie, and Spike walk back to Pinkie's place along with Yoyo. Then Pinkie gasped, because Flare's trailer was just outside Sugarcube Corner. And Flare was outside.
"Hey, guys!" said Flare waving. Twilight, Pinkie, and Spike froze, and got confused.
"Huh? What is your trailer doing here? I thought you stationed it at my house." said Twilight.
"I was getting a little tired of waking up at the same location. So I decided, every once in a while, I move my trailer to a different location. Pretty smart, eh?" said Flare. Then Flare looked at Yoyo. "Hey, you have a Yoyo loach! Leet! Who's it for?"
"It's yours, isn't it? Isn't this Yoyo?" asked Twilight.
"Forty-Five degree angle mouth face. What do you mean? Yoyo's still inside the fish tank, last I checked, and that was like a minute ago." said Flare with a confused look on his face.
"So if that wasn't Yoyo, then who's loach is this? We found it at the sewers." asked Spike.
"I heard Cherry Berry had a Yoyo loach that passed away, and she flushed down the toilet. I'll never flush my fish down the toilet. That's not a good fate for them." said Flare. "Wait. What were you doing in the sewers?" Pinkie started to sweat and shiver. "And where is my Ipod? It's morning, right? LOL right Pinkie? Remember? LOL remember Pinkie? LOL right remember Pinkie?"
Pinkie started to tear up and took out the broken Ipod and showed it to Flare.
"Is that... my Ipod?" asked Flare. Pinkie sadly nodded. "What happened?"
"Pinkie was using your Ipod, but she slipped and fell, and she accidently dropped it in the sewers." said Twilight.
"But how?" asked Flare. "How can water destroy this thing so bad? It looks like it was chewed up."
"We saw a mutant fish monster, which was actually this loach right here." said Spike. "After Twilight used her magic on it, it went back to normal. While it was a monster, it chewed up the Ipod."
"I'm sorry, Flare!" said Pinkie, weeping on Flare's front shoes. "Please don't hate me! I'm sorry!"
"Smiley face." said Flare. "Don't worry about it. It's only an Ipod. I could never not be friends with you, after all you did for me!" Then Flare looked at the broken Ipod. "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!"
Pinkie got up and wipped her eyes. "What's so funny?" she asked.
"This isn't the Ipod I gave you!" said Flare. "This is my old Ipod. It's been broken for weeks! I was gonna throw it away, but I dropped it in the sewers by accident. I was like, eh close enough. So I just left it down there."
"So if that isn't your Ipod. That means your Ipod is still in the sewers!" cried Pinkie.
"Don't worry about it. I have more actaully. That Ipod Touch was a older model." said Flare.
"Woo! I'm hungry! I think I'll have that chocolate now." said Spike taking out the chocolate bar he found in the sewers. He lick it, but then spit on it. "This isn't chocolate!" Then Twilight squirted water on the chocolate, which wasn't really chocolate, it was an Ipod covered in mud.
"Hey, my Ipod!" cried Flare. Then Flare took the Ipod and turned it on. "And it still works! It's dirty, but it's waterproof, and dirt proof. I can clean this up in no time!"
"So all this time we had Flare's Ipod?" asked Twilight. Then Twilight gave herself a facehoof.
Cherry Berry showed up and walked to the others. "Hey guys!" she said.
"Hey, Cherry!" they said.
"Nice loach!" said Cherry Berry. Then the loach swam towards her. "Huh? Lucky? Is that you?"
"Oh yeah, we found this loach in the sewers. He wasn't really dead." said Spike.
"Lucky's alive!" cried Cherry Berry. "Thank you, guys!"
"Listen, Flare. I'm glad you have your Ipod back. We still friends?" asked Pinkie.
"Nope." said Flare crossing his hooves. Pinkie was shocked, but then Flare smiled, then Pinkie play-punched his hoof.
"J-K J-K! LOLOLOL!" teased Flare. And they all laughed.
"So who's up for some for a game of Trouble?" asked Flare holding out the board game of Trouble.
