My Big Flare: Friendship is Epic (THE OLD STORY)
Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Flare Through Time Part 1
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt was 5:00 in the morning, and Flare was on the computer typing fast on the keyboard, with the Trololo song on another internet tab. Spike was sleeping on the bean bag chair in front of the TV. He turned back and forth, then he woke up to the sound of the computer.
"Dude, what are you doing?" asked Spike.
"You know I have to get up nice and early to troll my Mareami friends on Ponybook, brah. An hour a day keeps the trolls frowning away. I've been going too easy on my cousins; they can use a good trolling! And all I said came from a machinima, I didn't make it up. But I sure wished I did!" said Flare.
"Must you have the music?" asked Spike.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." Said Flare. "Although I wouldn't say the same for Mister Trololo. You better apologize."
"When I said I agreed to sleep over, I didn't mean you could disturb my sleep at…. 5:00 in the morning?" said Spike. "And I thought living with Twilight was hard."
"And I thought living with my mom was hard. LOL!" teased Flare.
"At least you had a mom." Said Spike.
"At least you're a dragon." Said Flare.
"At least you have all the cool high-tech." said Spike.
"At least you have the ability to instantly send letters to Luna." Said Flare.
"I send them to Celestia, not Luna." Said Spike.
"Huh? Then where do all those letters to Luna go?" asked Flare.
"I guess I just instantly send them to Celestia." Said Spike.
"What a rip-off!" said Flare. "They're suppose to be for Luna!"
"Well c'mon, wanna play some Minecraft?" asked Spike.
"Minecraft blows!" said Flare.
"No it doesn't!" said Spike. "It's a really cool sandbox game!"
"Garry's Mod beats Minecraft." Said Flare.
"No it doesn't." said Spike. "In Minecraft, you get to build cool stuff with cubes!"
"You call that cool?" asked Flare. "You get to use props from Valve's games to build cool stuff."
"There are lots of different caves and deserts and woods you can travel around!" said Spike.
"There are lots of different maps you can have adventures on!" said Flare.
"In Minecraft, there are Creepers and lots of cool NPCs." Said Spike.
"In GMod, you can spawn NPCs whenever you want, and they're cool too." Said Flare. "But I don't think they can beat the Quake's enemies. Quake's got great enemies!"
"You just can't beat the fact that you're wrong." Said Spike.
"You just can't beat the fact that you're wrong." Flare repeated.
"No, you're the wrong one." Said Spike.
"No you're the wrong one." Flare repeated.
"Man, I'm getting hungry." Said Spike.
"Man, I'm getting hungry." Said Flare.
"Will you stop mocking me?" asked Spike.
"Will you stop mocking me?" Flare repeated.
Spike got mad, but then start to think and he gave out a mischievous smile.
"I'm an idiot!" said Spike.
"LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!" Flare laughed.
"Wow, I thought you were gonna repeat that, or say I'm an idiot." Said Spike.
"Okay. You're an idiot! Mischievous face." Teased Flare. Spike threw a potato chip at Flare. "LOL missed me!" Spike then threw more chips at Flare. "You need to work on your aim, brah!" Spike threw more chips at Flare, but this time he opened his mouth and ate them. "Yummy! I'll give you points for that!" Then Spike threw one of the PBOX remotes at Flare and it hit the computer. "Hey careful, dude! You don't want to hurt Mister Trololo now would you?"
"Actually, yes I do." Said Spike as he threw a beam bag chair at Flare.
"Stop throwing my own future at me." Said Flare. Then Spike threw the other beam bag chair at him. "Alright that's it! You want to do this retro? Fine we'll do this retro!" Then Flare and Spike started throwing furniture at eachother. Then Spike used his fire breath on him, and then that encouraged Flare to use his own magics on him; like Water squirter, flare, and anti-gravity. After a few minutes of play fighting, Flare finally lost it.
"Alright that's it! Time for the big laser!" cried Flare.
"No, Flare don't do it!" cried Spike.
"Yes, Flare do it! Mischievous face!" said Flare as he did a crazy laugh.
"No, Flare! Not in the trailer!" cried Spike.
"YES IN THE TRAILER! HA HA HA HA HA!" cried Flare, then he activated his horn and charged his laser, but before the laser can hit Spike, he dodged it and it hit the microwave while a hot pocket was cooking in there. "SURPRISED FACE! See what you made me do, bro?"
The microwave starts acting up, glows, and the lights in the house start flickering.
"Oh what I did? I tried to warn you, but did you listen? Oh nooooo! You always have to end everything with SHOOP DA WHOOP!" complained Spike.
The microwave then glows a big beam, and the beam hits Spike and Flare, then they vanish in mid-air. The microwave finishes cooking the hot pocket and everything returns to normal, except Flare and Spike are still missing. The microwave beeps and reads the word 'END' on the timer.
Meanwhile in a purple vortex, Spike and Flare are flying through it; screaming, spinning around, and Flare takes out a bottle of water and drinks it. Then when he was done with the water he started screaming through the vortex again. The vortex shows a lot of clocks, and different ponies , and events that happened over the pony years. Everything started to fade black shortly after.
Flare and Spike were laying down right outside Sugarcube Corner. Spike shortly woke up, and shook his head real fast. Then he looked around Ponyville and saw something different about it.
"Where are we, Flare?" asked Spike. "I know we're in Ponyville, but something feels…. Off."
Flare was still laying down in the middle of the ground next to Spike. "Yeah, yeah, gimmie a few minutes mom, I'll be downstairs." He said.
Spike then shook Flare to wake him up. "Flare! Wake up, dude!" he said to him.
Flare yawned and opened his eyes. "Oh! How did we get outside?" he asked.
"I don't know, but something seems off." Said Spike.
"You said that already." Said Flare.
"Well I wanted to say it again. Now where's your trailer?" asked Spike.
"OH NO!" cried Flare. "MY SHOOP DA WHOOP DESTROYED MY TRAILER! NOOOOOOOOO!"
Spike touched Flare's shoulder, trying to get him to calm down. "Dude, calm down!" cried Spike. "I don't think you're trailer is destroyed. There's no debris."
"My fishies, brah! MY FISHIES! Where have they gone?" Flare screamed as he was shaking Spike.
"Look, I have no idea what's going on, but we should just stay calm." Said Spike.
"I'm calm! What made you think I wasn't calm? I'm calm! Lying AppleJack face." Flare said as he did the same face AppleJack does when she lies.
"Look. Let's just look around. Maybe we'll find something." Said Spike.
"Let's head down to the shop. Maybe I can make us something over there." Said Flare.
"Hey what's that in the sky?" asked Spike.
"Is it a bird? Is it a plane?" asked Flare.
"No, it's… Twilight?" said Spike looking confused.
"Hey look there's you too!" said Flare. "Wait, Twilight's with a changeling! AAAAAAAAH!" he screamed.
"Wait a second. This seems kinda familiar." Said Spike.
"Hey, look at Big Mac! His cutie mark is sparkling!" said Flare, as Big Mac was walking by.
"She said to check on preparations. I am her student, and I'll do my royal duty, but the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends." Twilight said on the carriage, while it was coming down. Twilight and the Spike with her jumped out of the carriage. "Thank you sirs." Twilight said to the guards that were controlling the carriage.
"Maybe the ponies in Ponyville have interesting things to talk about." Said the Spike with Twilight. Then Pinkie Pie hops over to Twilight. "Come on, Twilight, just try!"
"Wait. I have seen this before." Said the Spike with Flare.
"Um…. Hello?" Twilight said greeting Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie did a loud gasp and ran away. "Well that was interesting alright." Twilight said sarcasticly.
"Wait a minute!" cried the Spike with Flare.
"Alright, 1… 2…. 3…. 4…." Said Flare counting to 60.
"Flare don't you see? We traveled into the past!" cried Spike.
"Really? Wow. I don't remember seeing Doctor Whooves at all." Said Flare.
"No, I think it was after you shot your laser at your microwave. It might have started a chain reaction and blasted us into the day of the Summersun Celebration!" said Spike.
"Summersun Celebration?" asked Flare. "You know, the last year's celebration was in Mareami, did you know that? I was there to witness the event!"
"No I didn't actually." Said Spike. "But it looks we went back to the time period of when Nightmare Moon ruined the celebration."
"LUNA'S HERE? HAPPY FACE!" cried Flare. "We're gonna see Luna, yaaaaaaay!"
"Don't be so sure when you say 'yaaaaaay', because in this time, she was Nightmare Moon." Said Spike. "Before she turned good, she was bad. This was before she became good." Then Spike looked at a stand full of muffins. "Oh hey look, muffins!"
While Spike was running to the muffin stand, Flare picked up Spike with his unicorn powers and pulled him back towards him.
"What did you do that for?" asked Spike.
"Look, your past self is over there walking with Twilight." Said Flare. "If that Spike saw you, it would create a time paradox. It'll effect the future. We must not change a thing. Except for looking for a way to head back to our time."
"But we can't have one muffin?" asked Spike.
"I'm sure it wouldn't hurt having one muffin. But wait until past Spike is gone." Said Flare. "Oh hey look, it's Derpy! Hi Derpy!"
"Uhhh…. Do I know you?" asked Derpy.
"Oh right." Said Flare. "Nevermind, I'll see you somewhere in the future, kay?"
"Umm…. Okay." Said Derpy, then she walks away.
"Kay thanks bye!" said Flare. "I hope we didn't change the future by talking to Derpy."
"Um, excuse me? YOU talked to Derpy. I was just standing here watching you talk to her." Said Spike.
Pinkie Pie was hoping over to Flare and Spike with a smile.
"OH NO, Pinkie!" whispered Flare. "Quick, hide behind me!" Spike hid behind Flare, then Pinkie showed up with an envelop.
"Party at the library, tonight at 8!" said Pinkie, giving Flare the envelop. "Wow, I never seen you before! You knew here too?"
"No, I've been here all my life. I don't even exist! I'll meet you somewhere in the future." Said Flare.
Pinkie Pie giggled. "You're so silly!" she said. "Bye!" Pinkie hopped away.
"That was a close call. I hope this doesn't effect the future in anyway." Said Flare.
"Why did I have to hide behind you?" asked Spike.
"Pinkie just saw you with Twilight before." Said Flare. "If she saw you with me, something might be wrong, and she would attract attention."
"Good point." Said Spike. "So now what?"
"I need a disguise." Said Flare. "Nopony must know I exist until I move into town later on. You need a disguise too."
"So where we gonna get clothes?" asked Spike.
"Rarity's?" asked Flare.
"Negative. Twilight and I meet with her later on." Said Spike. "We need to find something else. Got any ideas?"
Flare and Spike exit the costume shop wearing chicken costumes.
"Chickens? Are you serious, Flare?" asked Spike.
"Look on the bright side! Scootaloo's not alone!" said Flare.
"Okay these Scootaloo chicken jokes are getting old, please stop." Said Spike.
"Hey you know what day it is today, Spike?" asked Flare. "It's fry-day, fry-day! Gotta go to KFC on Fry-day! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!"
"Look can we get different costumes?" asked Spike.
"Aw, what's wrong? You too chicken?" asked Flare. Spike gave Flare a dirty look. "Fine, we'll get the Cow outfit."
"No, let's get a stealth costume. Like a dresser, or a cardboard box." Said Spike.
"CARDBOARD BOX!" cried Flare. "I'm gonna be Solid Snake!"
"Yeah, exactly!" said Spike.
Then Flare and Spike exited the costume shop wearing cardboard boxes.
"Why did we get boxes at a costume shop? We could get boxes anywhere!" said Spike.
"Because they had different choices of a logo." Said Flare. "I wanted my box to say 'Flare's Pizza Parlor', and have my logo on it."
"But your shop doesn't even exist yet!" said Spike.
"So? It's something to give everypony a heads-up on the new number one pizza shop in Equestria!" said Flare.
"Alright, so what do we need?" asked Spike.
"Alright I made a plan on how to get back in our own time." Said Flare. "We're going to make our own time machine!"
"And how are we supposed to do that?" asked Spike.
"Well, I need a microwave first of all." Said Flare.
"How do you even know if it's going to work?" asked Spike.
"Okay first of all, how many years ago is this?" asked Flare.
"Two." Said Spike.
"And I usually leave my hot pockets in the microwave for two minutes and 30 seconds. And the summersun celebration in our time is actually 30 days away, right?" asked Flare.
"Yeah." Said Spike.
"So the minutes mean years, and the seconds mean days." Said Flare. "So I need a new microwave first of all, a hot pocket, and some sort of power source that's as powerful as my trailer's generator."
"But your power generator holds a lot of power! There's nothing in Ponyville that's that powerful!" said Spike.
"We can think of something." Said Flare. "But first we need a microwave. Where can we find a microwave?"
"I dunno." Said Spike. "AppleJack?"
"Alright, let's go to AppleJack's then!" said Flare. Then Flare puts down the cardboard box around him and starts sliding towards Sweet Apple Acers. "Super sneaky ninja Solid Snake style! Ssssssssssss!"
Flare and Spike, with their cardboard boxes, sneak around Sweet Apple Acres to get to AppleJack's house. On the way, they find AppleJack meeting Twilight.
"Good afternoon. My name is Twilight Sparkle…." Said Twilight, but got interrupted by AppleJack, who is shaking her hoof really fast.
"Well, howdy-doo, Miss Twilight, a pleasure makin' your acquaintance. I'm Applejack. We here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like making new friends!" said AppleJack.
Twilight was shaking around and vibrating as AppleJack was shaking her hoof. "Friends? Actually, I…."
AppleJack stopped shaking her hoof. "So, what could I do ya for?" she asked with a wink.
"Hey Spike, you know what's better than being invisible?" Flare asked present Spike. "Being invisiblessed! Because we're so invisible!"
"Shhhhh!" Spike shushed Flare. "I'm reliving the past."
"Well, I am in fact here to supervise preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. And you're in charge of the food?" Twilight asked AppleJack.
"We sure as sugar are! Would you care to sample some?" asked AppleJack.
"I DO!" cried Flare.
"Shhhhhhhh!" Spike shushed Flare. "You trying to blow our cover?"
"As long as it doesn't take too long..." said Twilight.
AppleJack starts ringining a triangle and yells, "Soups on everypony!"
"Soup! I less than three soup!" said Flare. "As long as it's not Tomato Soup, or cheese soup."
"Now, why don't I introduce y'all to the Apple family?" asked AppleJack.
"Thanks, but I really need to hurry-" said Twilight.
AppleJack introduced the family to Twilight. "This here's Apple Fritter. Apple Bumpkin. Red Gala. Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apples, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp… Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom and Granny Smith. Up'n'attem, Granny Smith, we got guests."
"It's the end of the world as we know it!" sang Flare.
"Why did you sing that?" asked Spike.
"Because of how the way AppleJack said their names, it kinda sounds like it's part of the song." Said Flare.
"Okay, well, I can see the food situation is handled, so we'll be on our way." Said Twilight.
"Aren't ya gonna stay for brunch?" asked Apple Bloom in a sweet voice.
"Awwww! You can't say no to a face like that, sister." Said Flare. "I'd say yes right away and go HNNNNNNG!"
"Sorry, but we have an awful lot to do..." said Twilight.
"Awwwwwwww." Said the Apple family.
"Did you see the apple that was in Twilight's mouth before? First it was green when it was shoved in her mouth, but while she was spitting it out, it was red. Like seriously actually, what the Wizard of Feelings?" said Flare.
"Fine." Said Twilight. The apple family cheered.
"Alright! Twilight knows to do the right thing, right?" asked Flare. "Right, Spike? LOL right Spike?"
"Yes, yes. Now c'mon we gotta get that microwave." Said Spike.
"Right! Lead the way, buddy!" said Flare.
A little while later; Spike and Flare left Sweet Apple Acres with no microwave.
"How was I suppose to know that AppleJack didn't have a microwave?" asked Spike.
"She's a southwestern mare for Wizard of Hope's sake, brah!" said Flare. "Of course her kitchen is still old. I didn't work on it until two years later."
"You think I visit AppleJack oftain?" asked Spike.
"Let's go see Rare. Maybe she has one." Said Flare.
"Yes let's see Rarity, but not steal her microwave. I want to see how I met her again!" said Spike very happily.
"Why? We have no time to lose. We don't want to change time do we?" asked Flare.
"Please, Flare! For your old bro? Your bro for life?" asked Spike giving Flare the Puss 'n' Boots eyes.
"Kay, fine." Said Flare. "But real quick."
Spike let out a fan-girl scream and hugged Flare. "Thanks, dude! You're the best bro ever!"
"I know I am, now let's go." Said Flare.
Flare and Spike walk across town with the cardboard boxes on top of them.
"Food's all taken care of, next is weather." Said past Spike.
"Uh oh, I hear me coming. Drop!" said present Spike.
"I don't have any pants." Said Flare.
"No, I mean stop walking. Act like a box!" said Spike. Then they both drop down while Twilight and Spike walk by.
"Ugh! I think I ate too much pie." Said Twilight.
"LOL! Look at Twilight. Look at her belly flop!" said Flare.
"Shut up!" ordered present Spike.
"Hmm, there's supposed to be a pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds." said past Spike.
"Well, she's not doing a good job is she?" said Twilight while looking in the sky.
Then Rainbow Dash pops out of nowhere and accidently runs into Twilight.
"Oh. Heh heh. Uh, excuse me?" said Rainbow Dash embarressed. "Let me help you." Rainbow Dash gets a rain cloud and pours rain all over Twilight. Twilight was all wet, and made a face. "Oops, I guess I overdid it. Um, uh, how about this? My very own patented Rain-Blow Dry!" Rainbow Dash spins around Twilight like a tornado and dries her up. No no, don't thank me, you're quite welcome." Then Twilight's hair got all booshy, then Rainbow and past Spike bursted out laughing. So did Flare and present Spike.
"Oh yeah, I remember that!" said present Spike.
"LOL you remember, Spike?" asked Flare.
"No, dude. Just stop with that." he said with a face.
"Let me guess. You're Rainbow Dash." Twilight guessed.
"The one and only." said Dash. "Why, you heard of me?"
"I heard you were supposed to be keeping the sky clear." Twilight said with a sigh. "I'm Twilight Sparkle, and the Princess sent me to check on the weather."
"Yeah, yeah, that'll be a snap. I'll do it in a jiffy. Just as soon as I'm done practicing." Dash and present Spike said at the same time.
"How did you know what she was going to say?" Flare asked Spike.
"My mind is as solid as a rock! Physically, and mentally! I can remember anything! Like I remember you stole my cupcake at Pinkie's party." said Spike.
"I gave you another one." said Flare.
"But it wasn't chocolate. Everypony knows chocolate cakes are the best!" said Spike.
"Hey, I could clear this sky in ten seconds flat." said Rainbow.
"Prove it!" said Twilight, mischieviously.
Then Rainbow Dash clears all the clouds in the sky.
"Loop the loop around, and wham! What'd I say? Ten. Seconds. Flat. I'd never leave Ponyville hanging." Dash said with a giggle. "You should see the look on your face. Ha! You're a laugh, Twilight Sparkle. I can't wait to hang out some more."
"Can we see Rarity now?" asked present Spike.
"Fine, fine. I just wanted to see how Twilight met Dash." said Flare.
"They're done anyway. Let's go." said present Spike. Then they both walked to City Hall where the festible is going to take place.
"This isn't Rarity's place." said Flare.
"I know, but Rarity's here!" said Spike. "There she is! The most beautiful Pony in Equestria!"
"And it's gonna take you a year before you tell her your secret. LOL!" teased Flare. Spike punched Flare in the elbow. "Ow! You mad, bro?"
"Uh oh, here comes Twilight and me. Hide!" said Spike. Then they hid behind a pole.
"Decorations. Beautiful..." said past Spike.
"Yes, the decor is coming along nicely. This oughtta be quick. I'll be at the library in no time. Beautiful indeed. " said Twilight.
"Not the decor. Her!" past Spike said, starting at Rarity.
"D'awww! Love at first sight!" said Flare.
"How are my spines? Are they straight?" past Spike asked Twilight.
"Why wasn't I here for any of these events?" Flare asked.
"Just a moment, please! I'm 'in the zone', as it were. Oh, yes! Sparkle always does the trick, does it not? Why, Rarity, you are a talent." Rarity said.
"Is she talking to herself?" asked Flare.
"Oh my stars, darling! Whatever happened to your coiffure?" Rarity asked Twilight in shock.
"Oh my stars?" asked Flare. "When did she have stars?"
"Oh, you mean my mane? Well, it's a long story. I'm just here to check on the decorations, and then I'll be out of your hair!" said Twilight.
"Out of my hair? What about your hair?" asked Rarity, taking Twilight to her place.
"Wait! Where are going? Help!" cried Twilight.
"Wow. Twilight seems to be more annoyed now than two years later." said Flare.
"Well she had nopony besides me or her brother to be friends with." said Spike.
"Wow. Same thing with me." said Flare. "I didn't have any real friends back at Mareami." said Flare.
"Wow, dude." said Spike. "You kinda have something in common with all of us."
"What you talkin about, Spike?" Flare asked Spike in his Arnold voice from Different Strokes.
"I mean you have something in common with the each of us."said Spike. "You have kindness, and you're sensitive sometimes like Fluttershy. You have generousness and love of decoration like Rarity. You have happyness and love to make friends like Pinkie Pie. You have a heart like a lion, like AppleJack. You have loyality like Rainbow Dash. And you have great magic skills and sort of the same history, like Twilight."
"What about you?" asked Flare.
"Love of video games, baby!" cried Spike.
"Ah ha!" cried Flare. Then they gave eachother a high-hoof.
A few minutes later, they both walked around town.
"So where else can we find a microwave?" asked Spike.
"I'm certain there's one over at Sugarcube Corner." said Flare.
"So why we going through the forest?" asked Spike.
"Because I want to see Twilight meet Flutters." said Flare.
"But we're short in time, bro!" said Spike.
"Hey! You wanted to see Rarity. Now it's my turn." said Flare.
Spike led out a sigh. "Fine." he said.
Flare gave out a squee, then they ran to Fluttershy's house and saw Twilight and Flutters already there.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten your birds. I'm just here to check up on the music and it's sounding beautiful." Twilight said Fluttershy. Fluttershy was just standing there in silence. "My name is Twilight Sparkle. What's your name?"
"Um, I'm Fluttershy." she said very quietly.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" Twilight asked.
"Um... my name is Fluttershy." she said, still quiet and nervous.
"Didn't quite catch that." said Twilight. Then Fluttershy repeated her name in a squeaky tone. "Oooookay. Well that was easy." Then Twilight started walking away, but then Fluttershy smiled when she saw Spike.
"A baby dragon!" cried Fluttershy. Then she knocked into Twilight by accident as she went to talk to Spike. "I've never seen a baby dragon before! He's so cute!"
"Well, well, well!" past Spike said to Twilight who was lying on the ground.
"Hey look at Twilight." Flare said to present Spike. "She's missing her cutie mark."
"Wow, a talking dragon! And what do dragons talk about?" asked Fluttershy.
"Well, what do ya wanna know?" Spike asked Fluttershy.
"Absolutely everything!" cried Fluttershy. Twilight gives out a loud groan, as they start walking.
"Well, I guess that's enough for now." said Flare. "C'mon let's get that microwave."
"Don't you want to see how she met Pinkie?" asked present Spike.
"I can pretty much picture the whole thing." said Flare. "And besides, you showed me the video of the party. So until it's Nightmare Moon time, I think we're free to get that microwave."
Spike and Flare walk over to Sugarcube Corner, and the sun was starting to set.
"Because everypony in town is going to Twilight's party, we shouldn't be meeting any other ponies around town." said Spike. They both walk inside Sugarcube Corner, and nopony was there.
"The Cake's really need to lock their doors." said Flare. "Everypony around here trustes eachother too much."
"Well welcome to Ponyville, my friend!" said Spike. "It wasn't that way in Canterlot though. Everything was too secure." Flare and Spike walk into the kitchen and find a microwave. "Ah ha! There's the little devil!"
"Alright! So let's unplug it and we can use it." said Spike.
"No, wait." said Flare. "If we take the microwave, it might cause a time paradox."
"Why?" asked Spike.
"We'll be stealing the microwave." said Flare. "And everypony here trusts eachother. And besides, it might effect their sales or something in the future."
"So what are we going to do now genius?" asked Spike. Flare looks at the microwave, then looks at a box lying on the ground.
"This is a new microwave." said Flare. "Maybe we can find the old one and use that."
"What makes you so sure that the microwave isn't already at the dump?" asked Spike.
"The trash doesn't come until tomorrow." said Flare. "So it must be still outside." Flare and Spike run outside and find the microwave sitting next to the garbage cans. "See? Told ya! Winkey face! Who's awesome! Flare is! Zoom be boop!"
"So now what?" asked Spike.
"I have a hot pocket already in my hot pocket! LOL! Yo dawg! I heard you like hot pockets!" teased Flare.
"You keep a hot pocket in your pocket?" asked Spike.
"Actually I keep in my pouch." said Flare, reaching for his hot pocket in the pouch on his side.
"When did you have a pouch there?" asked Spike.
"Same reason why you had a gem inside your pouch when the Diamond Dogs took Rarity." said Flare.
"You weren't even there! How did you know about that?" asked Spike.
"The same reason how I knew there would be a microwave out here." said Flare.
"That doesn't even make any sense!" cried Spike.
"It doesn't make any dollars either." said Flare. "So, we've got nothing else to do. The town is empty."
"How about we go to Twilight's party?" asked Spike.
"You're there, remember?" asked Flare.
"Don't say, 'LOL remember Spike'." said Spike.
"I wasn't. Why does everypony think I'm gonna say that all the time?" asked Flare.
"So if we're not going to Twilight's party, what are we gonna do?" asked Spike.
Then a few minutes later, they showed up at Twilight's party wearing their box disguises.
"Hello everypony! Nothing to see here! Just a couple of walking boxes! Lion face." said Flare.
"Real smooth, Flare." said Spike.
"Hi boxes!" said Pinkie Pie with a smile. "I don't remember inviting boxes to the party, but who cares! Everypony is invited! Even objects! Please enjoy some punch!"
"Oh no thanks." said Flare. "I don't like violance."
Pinkie Pie giggled. "Not that kind of punch, silly willy! Take a drink! It's really good!" Pinkie gives the bxoes some punch. "Thanks, Pink!"
"Don't mention it!" said Pinkie with a squee.
"Okay I won't. Mischievious face." said Flare.
"Enjoy the party!" said Pinkie with a giggle.
Then past Spike accidently runs into the box with present Spike in it, but he didn't knock it over.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" said present Spike.
"Oh sorry about that, dude." said past Spike.
"Don't worry about it, just walk away." said present Spike.
"Oh... okay, Mister Box." said past Spike. "You know, you kinda sound familiar."
"Just walk away, bro." said present Spike.
"Okay, for Celestia's sake." said past Spike as he walks away.
"Phew! That was a close." said present Spike.
"You're box is too close." said Flare. "Oh hey look! It's Derpy! I can tell, because she's cross-eyed, and this is the first time everypony as noticed her like that!"
Many hours went by. Everypony was partying it out, while Twilight was laying down in her bedroom. Soon it was 4 AM. One hour until the sun rises.
"...and you know what else he said?" Flare asked a group of ponies, telling a story. "Wanna buy a couple of pancakes with that?" The group of ponies started to laugh.
"Oh, Box number one, you're so funny!" said Carrot Top.
"That's what makes me number one, and that box number two! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!" teased Flare. Then the group of ponies laughed again.
"So how about you reveal who you are now?" asked Wind Whistler.
"I told you, sister! If I showed you who I was, it'll completly mess up time!" said Flare. Then the group of ponies laughed a third time.
"The joke gets funnier everytime you say it!" said Wind Whistler.
"Tell us that story about you being Jeff Gorspeed's crew chief again!" said Cloud Kicker.
"Hold on to yourselves, ladies!" said Flare. "I only tell stories once in a summer sun. But I will tell you the story about my fish, Piddles; thinking his reflection is another fish!"
"Hey everypony! The summer sun celebration is about to start! We should get there earily if we wanna see it!" cried AppleJack. Everypony cheered and started running to city hall.
"Alright, is the coast clear? Do we still need these boxes?" asked present Spike.
"I have to still look up information about Nightmare Moon's return!" said Twilight.
"Then why didn't you search it before?" asked past Spike.
"Everypony was being too loud!" said Twilight. "I can't think with all that racket! Now, because of Pinkie Pie's party, we're late for the celebration!"
"But the celebration doesn't start for another 58 minutes." said past Spike.
"Well, we'll see who's the crazy one now, after everypony sees the return of Nightmare Moon!" said Twilight. Then they both exit the library and shut the door. Then Flare and present Spike take off their disguises.
"Woo. I needed to stretch my legs." said present Spike.
"Alright so let's head to city hall to see Nightmare Moon then!" said Flare.
"Wait, Flare." said Spike. "You know, she's evil, she's not the Luna you know and dear."
"Cool story, bro. Why don't you make a novel about it?" teased Flare.
"Flare I'm serious!" said Spike.
"Really? I thought you were Spike? LOLOLOLOL!" teased Flare. "Oh no wait, that Spike who walked out is the real Spike! In this time, they'll think you're a changeling!"
"Just wipe that grin off you're face and listen to me!" ordered Spike.
"I will not wipe this grin off my face. But I will listen to you, brah." said Flare.
"Look. Nightmare Moon is dangerous." said Spike. "She forgot all about friendship and such."
"Look, don't worry!" said Flare. "We'll be outta the way! As long as we don't change time, Twilight and her friends will be able to defeat her without any worry. Just relax. Let's head over there and see everypony's favorite princess return! Smiley face."
They both put back on their box disguises and head on over the city hall to see the summer sun celebration. It was almost five, and the sun is about to rise.
"Alright we're here!" said Spike.
"Hey, when Twilight turned on the lights in her house, and everypony yelled 'SURPRISE', did you notice that yellow spot on the floor next to Derpy?" asked Flare.
"Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" said the Mayor. "In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria..."
"Hey look, Pinkie's front legs are missing." said Flare.
"... Princess Celestia!" the Mayor cried as the curton opens, but Celestia wasn't there. "Remain calm everypony! There must be a reasonable explanation!"
"Ooo ooo, I love guessing games! Is she hiding?" said Pinkie.
"She's gone!" cried Rarity. Everypony gasped.
"Oh she's good!" Pinkie said Flare said at the same time.
"Oh, she jinxed it!" said Flare. "LOL!" Then Nightmare Moon appears on the bolcany where Celestia is suppose to be. Everypony gasped again, then Spike faints.
"LOLOLOLOLOL!" Flare laughed. "You fainted after you saw her? You're such a baby, Spike!"
"At least I didn't wet myself like you." said present Spike.
"What makes you think..." then Flare looked down. "Oh right. Embarrassed face."
"Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious, little sun-loving faces." said Nightmare Moon.
"What did you do with our Princess?" asked Rainbow Dash, about to pounce on Nightmare Moon.
"Whoa, nelly!" said AppleJack grabbing Dash's tail.
Luna chuckles and says, "Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?"
"Ooh, ooh, more guessing games! Um, Hokey Smokes! How about... Queen Meanie! No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty!" said Pinkie.
"Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?" asked Luna.
"I did. And I know who you are. You're the Mare in the Moon – Night Mare Moon!" cried Twilight.
"Well well well, somepony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here." said Luna.
"You're here to... to..." said Twilight in fear.
"Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!" said Luna as she gave out an evil laugh.
"Oh look out we have leet princess in the room! ROFLMAO!" teased Flare.
