One beautiful sunny day, Flare heads outside and goes through his mail box to find mail. He takes out a few letters, then heads inside and sits on a chair next to the fish tank.

"Let's see... bill, bill, bill, a royal letter. Nothing special." said Flare throwing his letters on the table. "You know fishies? At times like these I really want to host a special event." Darrel swims over to Flare and tries to get his attention. "What is it, Darrel?" Flare asked. Darrel pointed to the pile of letters on the table. "Oh what, these? They're nothing special, just bills and a royal letter, it's nothing special really." Darrel gave himself a facefin and pointed to the royal letter. "What about it? It's a royal letter. What's your point?" Then Flare got surprised. "Wait a sec, a royal letter? Must be from Luna, I think." Flare opens the letter and starts reading it.

"Dear Flare Gun, At 8:00 tonight, it's time to close off your resturaunt from the public early, because your shop has been chosen to host the Royal Dinner Date. Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadance will be eating over there, and they want to have the perfect dinner. Make preperations right away. Thank you for your time! Princess Hallaophicestia. LOL!" Flare teased, saying Celestia's name wrong. Flare then got excited. "Happy face! Yo fishies check it out! My shop was chosen to host the royal Dinner Date! My shop, outta all the others! Praise Hope, Strength, and Feelings! Prasie the Wizards, our true Gods! ROFLMAO! No seriously, I gotta get everything ready at the shop! Shining and Cadnace are coming to eat at my shop tonight! I better get everything ready over there!"

Flare runs over to the Pizza Shop and sees Lyra, Bon Bon, and Derpy getting everything ready for the day.

"Ten hut, soldiers!" cried Flare.

"Excuse me?" said Bon Bon in a confused tone.

"You dare question your sarge? 50 push ups!" cried Flare.

"What's going on, Flare?" asked Derpy.

"I got this letter from Princess Hippopamaestia." said Flare.

"Why can't you say Celestia's name right?" asked Bon Bon.

"Look I'm joking around, but that's not the point!" said Flare. "She says the newly wedded Shining Armor and Princess Cadance are coming to eat here tonight at 8! So we need to get this place ready by then. We're closing up the shop at 6 to get ourselves and the shop ready. I'm gonna ask help from the others so this can be perfect. They really want everything perfect guys! We have to get everything perfect guys! Everything perfect guys!"

"Alright we get it." said Bon Bon.

"This is so exciting Bonnie!" cried Lyra. "The royal couple is going to be eating here tonight! Isn't that fantastic?"

"It sure is, Lyra!" said Bon Bon.

"Am I gonna have a part in this?" asked Derpy.

"Of course!" said Flare. "I'll let you guys know what you're gonna be doing later. But for now, let's get the morning rush, and afternoon rush outta the way, and then we'll worry about royality. Kay? Kay thanks bye." Flare starts walking away, but Derpy is still standing in her 'ten-hut' position. "Uhh... Ditzy?" Flare asked her.

"Sir!" cried Derpy.

"Addys, private." said Flare.

"Okay Sarge!" said Derpy going back to her 'regular' self.

Hours went by, and eventually it was 6 PM. Flare waited for the last customers to leave.

"Thanks for coming! Tell your friends! Smiley face." said Flare. Then he closed and locked the door. "TEN HUT, SOLDIERS!"

Lyra, Bon Bon, and Derpy all went in front of the counter and stood up straight for Flare, as Flare walked back and fourth in front of them, discussing the plan.

"Alright ladies, listen up!" ordered Flare in a sergeant voice. "Shining Armor and Princess Cadance will be here in two hours! So we need to get this place into tip-top shape for them! After we get this place ready, we need to get ourselves ready, like showering and stuff. While you guys are cleaning up, I'm going to get some of my friends to help. This has to be perfect! Serious face! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"

"SIR, YES SIR!" Bon Bon, Lyra, and Derpy yelled.

"Mm hm! Very good, soldiers! NOW MOVE IT, DOUBLE TIME!" ordered Flare. Then the three of them started cleaning everything up for the royal couple. Flare called up his friends, and they came over to the shop to help. "Welcome brahs! Time to get this party started!"

"Ooh, ooh! This is gonna be a party, Flare?" Pinkie asked while hopping in place.

"Not really, Pink." said Flare. "But I'm gonna need you pony's help in order to get this dinner runned smoothly. I'm relying on you not to mess this up for me."

From the kitchen, a broken glass was heard. "Oops, my bad!" said Derpy.

"Don't ruin this for me, Ditzy!" Flare yelled out in the kitchen.

"So what do you want us to do, partner?" asked Engineer.

"Alrighty then!" said Flare. "Engie, I want you to make sure all the appliances in the kitchen are in working condition."

"You got it partner!" said Engineer, then he put his blow torch mask on, took his tools, and walked into the kitchen.

"AppleJack, Pinkie, I want you two to make sure the food isn't poisoned." said Flare.

"Ya want us to do what?" asked AppleJack in a concerned tone.

"Oooo! Sounds like fun!" said Pinkie.

"So if the food is poisoned, wer gettin poisoned." said AppleJack.

"What? You're not gonna eat it. LOL! You're just scan it, using this scanner that Doctor Whooves made." said Flare holding a scanner.

"Oh..." said AppleJack taking the scanner from Flare's hoof.

"No problem! It's fun reguardless! I would've accepted eating it anyway! I don't think I'd get poisoned, I think I'd have a great meal, I mean if you have a great meal, you'd grow to be big and strong, and..." Pinkie just went on and on while hopping around, everypony was getting annoyed.

Flare smiled and said, "Alright Pinkie, alright." Pinkie stops hoping and smiles at Flare. "I think you made your point. ROFL! Go on ahead in Storage room with Jack, and you know what to do."

"Ookie dokey lokey!" said Pinkie smiley hoping in the storage room.

"Who else but Pinkie, Flare? Who else but Pinkie?" said AppleJack walking into the storage room.

"Who's Pinkie Flare? L-O-L!" teased Flare.

"Who else but Flare too!" said AppleJack with a giggle.

"Rare, you have all the decorations?" asked Flare.

"Absolutely, darling!" said Rarity using her horn to take out some decorations. "This place will look fabulous by the time Rarity is done with it!"

"Praise Luna! Get to it, sister!" said Flare. Rarity went outside to set up the decorations for the royal couple. "Rainbow Dash? I want you to get dark clouds and bring them into town!"

"What? Why?" asked Rainbow Dash. "You want it to rain?"

"No, I just want it to be overcast." said Flare. "I want a little hole in the clouds with sunlight facing on the royal couple. It'll look beautiful!"

"Rarity's idea, right?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Roger that, Dashie!" said Flare.

"Alright, I'll get right to it." said Rainbow Dash. Then she flew out of the store to get the clouds.

"And Flutters of course!" said Flare with a smile.

Fluttershy smiled real wide. "What do you want me to do, Flare? Anything!"

"I less then three your excitement, Flutters!" said Flare. Fluttershy blushed and giggled. "Go get your birds and bring them here. You'll be one of the entertainment for the couple!"

"One? Who's the other? I mean... if that's okay if you... tell me." asked Fluttershy.

"Sweetie Belle. She really loves to sing, so I wanted to give her a chance." said Flare.

"Oh, okay." said Fluttershy.

"So you'll do it?" asked Flare.

"Absolutely!" said Fluttershy.

"What are you waiting for then, Winter Wrap-Up? Go on!" said Flare with a smile. Fluttershy flew out the door to get her birds.

"Flare it is so exciting that my brother and sister in-law are coming down here to have a great dinner!" said Twilight. "It's not everyday you get to have a royal couple picking your resturaunt outta all the others."

"I bet they're jealous, huh Twilight?" said Flare, elbowing Twilight. They both laughed.

Spike came in with Big Macintosh, carrying a heavy box. Spike was guiding him inside.

"Hurry it up, Spike. Ah can't hold this any longer!" said Big Mac.

"Just hang on, big colt! We're almost there!" said Spike.

"What's with the box?" asked Twilight.

"Surprise." said Flare.

"Oh you're going Pinkie Pie on me, huh?" teased Twilight, elbowing Flare.

"That box is for the royal couple, I'll tell you that much." said Flare.

"Of course! It's so obvious, remember?" asked Twilight. "LOL remember Flare?"

"HEY THAT'S MY THING, Twilight!" said Flare. "You can't steal my thing, remember? LOL remember Twilight?"

"LOL I remember Flare!" teased Twilight.

"LOL you remember alot of stuff, bro!" said Spike.

"LOL I know right?" said Flare.

"LOL you got something in your teeth." said Spike.

"LOL... wait, really?" asked Flare. "That's not good. I gotta floss my teeth before the couple comes."

Big Macintosh is still having a hard time with the box he's carrying.

"You had enough?" asked Spike.

"Eeeyup!" said Big Mac.

"Alright. Flare, where do you want this box?" asked Spike.

"Put it in the Storage room." said Flare. "Can you handle that, Mac?"

"Eeeyup... wait, nooope... I mean, maybe." said Big Mac.

"Just do what you can, brah." said Flare. Then Big Mac carries to the storage room door, but it falls down as it hits the top of the door.

"Oooooh! Did you hear anything break?" asked Flare.

"Nnnnope." said Big Mac.

"Alright, thank Wizard of Strength for that." said Flare. "Just push it inside, can you handle that?"

"Eeeeyup!" said Big Mac with a smile, the he pushed the box inside the Storage room without any problems.

"I wish I had a bit everytime he said that." said Spike.

"He didn't say 'that', he said 'eeyup'." said Flare.

"So what do you want me to do, Flare?" asked Twilight.

"I want you to set up a town meeting with the mayor." said Flare. "Tell everypony the royal couple is coming to my shop! They can watch! Also, there's a two bit fee."

"No problem, Flare! But why a two bit fee?" asked Twilight.

"Yeah good point." said Flare. "I'll make it three bits!"

Twilight walked down to city hall.

"What are you gonna do, dude?" asked Spike.

"I'm gonna make sure everything stays in order!" said Flare. "B-T-W, this is also the same day the Health Inspector comes to check on the parlor. So I need to get everything perfect for him."

"Or her." said Spike.

"Or her, whatever." said Flare.

One hour and 55 minutes went by. Everything was set up for the royal couple. The townfolk were outside the shop, behind red rope in both sides of the shop. The middle had a red carpet, for the couple to walk on. Flare was inside, wearing a chef's hat, and an apron that says 'SHOOP DA COOK'.

"Only five more minutes guys!" said Flare excited. "This is so exicting! Happy face!"

"Shoop da cook?" asked Spike looking at his apron. "What does that mean?"

"It's like SHOOP DA WHOOP, except I'm cooking so I decided to put down SHOOP DA COOK, because it sounds similar to KISS THE COOK."

"Ew, I ain't kissing the cook." said Spike.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Rarity was cooking." said Flare.

"SHE IS! REALLY?" cried Spike. "I guess I am kissing the cook after all!"

"Nah, I'm kidding, she's not cooking." said Flare.

"Doh, you troll." said Spike in annoyed tone.

"Um... Flare? I-I have the birds ready." said Fluttershy.

"Great job Flutters!" Flare to her, then he gave her a hug. Fluttershy blushed. "Just get everything ready, kay?"

"Okay, Flare." said Fluttershy. Trumpets played outside the shop, then Rainbow Dash ran inside.

"You better come out here, Flare! They're here!" said Rainbow Dash.

"Praise the Wizards!" cried Flare, then he ran outside standing by the door.

A carrage comes gliding down from the sky, and lands in front of the red carpet. Flare and Twilight smile with excitment. Rarity walks over to the carrage and opens the door for them. Shining Armor were inside the carrage. Cadnace was fixing up Shining Armor's mane.

"Honey, just let me finish!" said Cadance.

"Look, I'm good, I'm good. We look perfect." said Shining Armor.

"I just want to make sure." said Cadance.

"Look, babe, I'm fine." said Shining Armor. "My mane is fine."

"Why did you have to bring red on this trip? I told you to bring blue." said Cadnace.

"But I like red." said Shining Armor.

Everypony was staring at Shining Armor and Cadance messing around in the carrage. Shining and Cadance saw that everypony was looking at them, and they stopped arkwardly. They both walked out of the carrage, then everypony was cheering and taking pictures of them. They both walked through the red carpet and stood in front of Flare and Twilight. Twilight hugged them both, then Cadance put her hoof out in front of Flare, and Flare kissed it.

"Welcome to Flare's Pizza Parlor, Mr. and Mrs. Armor!" said Flare.

"Thank you, Flare!" said Cadnace.

"Yum! I sure am hungry." said Shining, rubbing his stomach.

"Right this way." said Flare, holding the door open for them.

Fluttershy started playing the music with her birds, and Sweetie Belle started playing the piano on the stage. While the royal couple walked in, Spike was standing there with a tux on.

"Greetings royal couple, welcome to Flare's Pizza Parlor." said Spike.

"Thanks, Spike! How are you?" asked Shining Armor.

"I'm doing well, Shining. Your table is right this way." said Spike, leading them to their royal table. "Do you two love-birds need anything else?"

"Spike!" whispered Twilight in angry tone.

"No, no it's quite alright Twilight. Spike's just the cutest dragon ever!" said Cadance, pinching his cheeks.

"Aw shucks." said Spike while blushing.

"Those are my cheeks to pinch!" Rarity said to herself in an angry tone.

"So what would you two like for a drink?" asked Flare holding out a notepad.

"What do you have?" asked Shining Armor.

The door was kicked open, and a pony with a trenchcoat walks in.

"What's the meaning of this?" asked Cadance.

"Health Inspector Jones, I'm here to make sure everything's in order." he said holding a badge.

"Oh right, I forgot to mention, you guys scheduled your dinner at the same day the Health Inspector shows up." said Flare.

"Oh that's quite alright." said Shining Armor. "We'll just proove that your shop is the best pizza shop in Equestria!"

"Thanks, brah!" said Flare. "Now about those drinks."

"What do you have?" asked Cadance.

"We have water, juice, hot tea, iced tea, coffee, sodas, and cocktails. You should try the Luna Special. I made it myself, it's the same color as Princess Luna's skin, so I decided to name it the Luna Special."

Meanwhile, everypony was getting everything ready in the kitchen.

"Engine, what's taking so long in getting that oven ready?" asked Bon Bon.

"Ya can't rush perfection." said Engineer.

"He's right you know." said Lyra.

"Oh sure take his side!" said Bon Bon.

"I'm not taking his side, I'm just saying..." explained Lyra.

"Alright, Lyra, I get it." said Bon Bon with a facehoof.

"Hey guys, is it normal for toilets to become showers?" asked Derpy.

"What are you talking about, Derpy?" asked Bon Bon.

Derpy, Bon Bon, Lyra, and Engineer walked into the bathroom and saw the toilets overflowing.

"Derpy what did you do?" asked Bon Bon.

"I was going to the bathroom, but I guess I put in too much toilet paper. I tried flushing it, but it overflowed." said Derpy. "Then I tried flushing them all at the same time and see if that would work..."

"No problem! Ah can get this fixed up in no time!" said Engineer.

"You still need to fix the oven." said Bon Bon.

"Taken care of, partner!" said Engineer. "Just go ahead and get the ovens rolling. I'll unclog these toilets." said Engineer.

Lyra, Bon Bon, and Derpy went into the kitchen. Flare ran inside and gave Bon Bon a ticket.

"Order up, Bonnie!" said Flare.

"The Flare Special? That's pizza with everything on it!" said Bon Bon.

"We can do it, right Bon Bon?" asked Lyra.

"Of course we can!" said Bon Bon.

"Oh, and the Health Inspector's here, and he wants one of everything." said Flare.

"WHAT?" Bon Bon and Lyra yelled at the same time.

"Umad sisters?" asked Flare.

"No, but we're pretty surpirsed. You expect us to do this all on our own?" asked Lyra.

"Nope! I'm gonna get you guys some help. Just get started on the ultimate pizza, and I'll go get you guys some help. Happy face?" said Flare.

"Alright, let's do it!" cried Lyra.

"MUFFINS!" cried Derpy.

"That's the spirit!" cried Flare.

Flare went out to get some help. Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and AppleJack came in.

"You guys know how to make the food I make here, right?" asked Flare.

"Yep!" cried Pinkie.

"Not really." said AppleJack.

"I do make salads, so I can handle that." said Rarity.

"I'm not a chef you know." said Rainbow Dash.

"I know guys, but I need this." said Flare. "This is a very important day for me and the shop! If we mess up, I could lose my shop! Please, just this once! Lion face."

"Fine." said Rainbow Dash. "But am I getting paid?"

"Yes! You're getting paid honor, and pride, and awesomeness!" said Flare.

"Alright, I can handle that!" said Rainbow Dash with a smile.

"Lets get cooking!" cried Pinkie Pie.

Flare went back to Shining and Cadance, and gave them their drinks.

"Okay who ordered the Luna Special, and who ordered the Luna Special?" teased Flare holding up two Luna Specials. Shining and Cadance giggled.

"We did." they both said at the same time. "Jinx!" Then they laughed.

"I find this atmosphere quite astonishing. Still, why are there birds in a resturaunt, and foal playing a piano?" said Jones the Health Inspector.

"Forty-Five degree angle mouth face." said Flare.

Meanwhile in the kitchen. Everypony was cooking for the couple and the Health Inspector.

"Did they ask for tomatoes on their pizza?" asked Pinkie Pie.

"It's the ultimate pizza, Pinkie. Of course tomatoes would be on it." said AppleJack.

"What about onions?" asked Pinkie.

"Yes, onions too." said AppleJack in an annoyed tone.

"What about olives?" asked Pinkie.

"Yes, Pinkie olives too." said AppleJack.

"How about...?" asked Pinkie, but got interupted.

"Pinkie they want everything on it!" cried Rainbow Dash. "They want everything that can go on a pizza!"

"Does that include green peppers?" asked Pinkie.

AppleJack and Rainbow Dash gave out a loud sigh and gave eachother facehooves.

Back out in the dining room, Shining Armor and Cadance looked bored. Flare got nervous, then he took out a walkie talkie.

"Sweet, we need to bring out the big guns!" Flare whispered through the walkie talkie.

"Roger that." said Sweetie Belle holding the other end of the walkie talkie. Sweetie Belle was playing the piano, wearing a red dress. Sweetie Belle stood up, and took out a microphone.

"Excuse me everypony." said Sweetie Belle. "I would like to play a relaxing song. For the royal couple, and the Health Inspector."

"We are everypony." said Jones. "Nopony else is here."

"Hit it, Fluttershy!" said Sweetie Belle. Fluttershy starts getting the birds to whistle 'You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine' by Lou Rawls, then Spike starts tapping on a table to keep the beat, then Sweetie Belle starts singing the song.

"Oh this should be our song, Cadance!" said Shining Armor.

"Yeah it really should." said Cadance, staring at Shining Armor with a smile, and a lovely look on her eyes.

"Wow, Sweetie's singining is more effective than I thought." said Flare. "She should sing here more oftain."

Back in the kitchen, Rarity making the salads. Each of the salads she made, she put little happy faces on them with the veggies. The tomatoes for eyes, and the sliced cucumber as the smile.

"My, Rarity, you're such an artist. Even in culinary!" said Rarity.

Derpy was stiring up some pasta, then accidently knocked over some ranch dressing, and it spilled all over one of the salads.

"Oops. Sorry, Rarity. I'll clean that up." said Derpy. But then she spilled some of the spaghetti all over the other salads. "Whoopsy!"

"DERPY!" cried Rarity in an angry tone.

"Oh excuse me, I have to use the little filles room. Can you guys handle things from here?" Fluttershy asked the birds. The birds nodded, and continued singing along with Sweetie Belle. Fluttershy ran off to the bathroom. Time went by, and the birds started playing off key. Fluttershy was still in the bathroom.

"This is starting to get awful! I grown tired of waiting! Give me my food, or I'm forced to shut you down!" cried Jones.

"Uh oh, hurry guys!" cried Pinkie Pie.

Twilight walked over to Flare and saw him, really nervous.

"Flare are you okay?" asked Twilight.

"Yeah I'm fine why?" Flare said to Twilight nervously fast. "Are there enough napkins? The Health Inspector needs a refill on his soda. WHERE'S THE FOOD? Twilight where did Engineer go?" Flare started breathing heavily.

"Calm down, Flare." said Twilight, holding him in the shoulders. "Everything will be fine."

"Fine? FINE? I can't find Fluttershy anywhere!" cried Flare. "And why is Spike just sitting around, banging on the table? The Health Inspector is really unhappy face. And worst of all, Shining Armor and Cadance are now having a staring contest! I'M DOOMED I TELL YOU! DOOOOOOOMED! Sad face!"

"FLARE! Don't give up yet! We still have a chance! Remember, Flare's Pizza Parlor is the best pizza shop in Equestria, right?" yelled Twilight.

"RIGHT! It's not over, till it's over!" cried Flare.

"That's the spirit, Flare!" cried Twilight.

"Let's do this thang!" cried Flare. Twilight and Flare gave eachother a high hoof, and went back to work.

Time went by, the Health Inspector was still unhappy, but the food was finally ready. Everypony came out holding two trays. Derpy was holding the tray for the royal couple.

"One ultimate pizza for Shining Armor and Cadance!" cried Derpy, then she tripped, and the tray landed perfectly on the table. Shining and Cadance clapped.

"Impressive, very impressive!" said Shining Armor.

"Yeah, it's not everyday your clumsiness gets lucky." said Cadance. Derpy smiled and let out a squee.

Everypony else gave the Health Inspector one of everything on the menu. The Health Inspector smiled and started eating the food.

"Wow, look at him, he's happy!" said Pinkie.

"I don't think the Health Inspectors actually eat the food." said Twilight.

"What makes ya say that?" asked AppleJack.

The Health Inspector starts choking on the food.

"SURPRISE FACE!" cried Flare. "Health Inspector choking! CODE RED! CODE RED!"

AppleJack ran behind the health inspector and started pounding on his stomach from behind him. Eventually he spit out the food.

"Ya okay, sir?" asked AppleJack.

"NO I'M NOT OKAY, I NEARLY DIED!" cried the Health Inspector. Then smoke started coming out of the kitchen, then the sprinklers that were hanging on the ceiling of the resturant activated, then all the food started getting soggy, and everypony became wet. The birds became wet too, and flew away. Fluttershy came out of the bathroom, then water started spilling out. Fluttershy walked out with a piece of toilet paper on her hoof.

"Uh, Flare? I'm sorry, but your toilets are in bad shape." said Fluttershy.

Then Engineer walked out of the bathroom. "Ah did all ah could. Ah don't understand the problem." he said.

"Why is there a fire in the kitchen?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I thought you fixed the oven?"

"Ah did ah thought." said Engineer.

"FIRE!" cried Pinkie, then she ran into the kitchen and started blowing on the fire that was on the oven.

Rainbow Dash ran into the room and used the fire extinguisher to put out the fire. The fire went out, but the shop was a complete wreck. Shining Armor and Cadnance just sat there, awkwardly. The Health Inspector got real mad and exploded.

"YOU CALL THIS THE BEST PIZZA JOINT IN EQUESTRIA?" cried Jones. "THAT WAS THE WORSE SERVICE I EVER HAD! Not to mention the poisoned food, appliances in bad shape, backed-up bathrooms, and the music was terrible!"

Sweetie Belle started tearing up, and ran into the kitchen crying. Fluttershy joined along, and the birds.

"How dare you, sir?" cried Rarity.

"HOW DARE I? HOW DARE YOU! MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOW DARE YOU, FLARE GUN!" cried Jones.

"And look at your crossed-eyed waitress over there. She tripped over, and almost spilled food all over the royal couple! And what kind of apron is that? SHOOP DA COOK? Pathetic! I order Flare's Pizza Parlor, SHUT DOWN FOREVER!" yelled Jones.

Everypony gasped in shock. "I'm outta here!" cried Jones, then he marched right out of the shop.

"Crying face." said Flare, as he started to tear up. "My career is over. I had no idea this place was in bad shape, or if I had bad music. It all seemed fine to me." Everypony started hugging Flare and comforting him.

"I'm sorry, Flare." said Twilight.

"Why you sorry? It wasn't your fault." said Flare.

"That was just a mean old health inspector!" said Rarity. "What does he know?"

"Besides, maybe this place won't shut down." said Rainbow Dash.

Then they heard racket outside. They all walked outside and saw what was going on. A pony was hammering an 'Out of Business' sign over the Flare's Pizza Shop sign, and a group of police ponies put yellow tape all over the shop.

"Ouch, that was fast." said Rainbow Dash.

"!" cried Flare. Shining Armor and Cadance walked outside and stood next to Flare. Shining Armor put his hoof on Flare's shoulder.

"It's okay, Flare. I'll try to talk to my aunt about this." said Shining Armor. Cadance hugged Flare.

"To be honest, that was the most amazing service we've ever had!" she said.

"Sniff." said Flare. "Really?"

"For certain!" said Cadance. "We couldn't ask for a better work of art, than the pizza! You are a great resturant manager Flare Gun."

"Sniff. Thanks, Cadance. Smiley face." said Flare.

"We better go, dear." said Shining Armor. Then they both walked into their carrage and it flew away. Flare stood up.

"Thanks for the help brahs." said Flare sadly. "Sniff. You all did a fantastic job. I couldn't ask for better friends than you guys. But this is it. No more Flare's Pizza Parlor. Crying face."

Everypony felt really bad.

"What are you gonna do now?" asked Lyra.

"I-D-K." said Flare. "I guess I'll have to accept the fact that I'm no condition in running a business."

"Don't let that stupid Health Inspector let you down, bro!" said Spike. "The pizza shop was a great achievement to all of Equestria! Don't let that nasty old colt tell you otherwise!"

"Thanks, brah. But that's not gonna reopen my shop, is it?" said Flare. "I'm going home... and I wanna be left alone. Thanks again, guys." Flare sadly walked back to his trailer. Everypony else sadly walked back to their homes.

Three days went by, and Spike walked over to Flare's house with Rainbow Dash. Spike knocked on the door.

"Hey, dude you home?" asked Spike. "We've got this really good prank for Cranky Doodle Donkey! Wanna join?"

Flare didn't respond. Not even his little eyeball camera on his door went online.

"C'mon Flare, you've been in that trailer for days, and never came out! C'mon, enjoy the bright sunshine!" said Rainbow Dash. "I got this awesome new trick that you've gotta see!"

Flare still didn't respond. Spike and Rainbow Dash just kept reasoning with Flare through the outside, but Flare still didn't respond.

"Okay, fine." said Rainbow Dash. "C'mon Spike."

"We can't give up on Flare now!" said Spike.

"He's still depressed on his store closing. We just need to accept it, and leave him alone." said Rainbow Dash. Spike looked down upsettingly.

Later on, Rainbow Dash and Spike came back to Flare's with Twilight, Fluttershy, and Pinkie. Twilight knocked on the door.

"Flare, we need to talk." she said.

Flare activated his eyeball camera. "Go away!" he said.

"We thought we were your friends?" said Rainbow Dash.

"You are! I just want to be left alone right now, so if you don't mind..." said Flare.

Fluttershy started tearing up and looked at Flare's eyeball camera.

"P-please... Flare." said Fluttershy in a sad tone.

Flare was silent, but eventually he unlocked the door.

"This better be good!" he said.

Everypony went into the Lounge where Flare was playing his video games.

"So this is what you've been doing all this time?" asked Spike.

"No, I went to the bathroom, I got stuff to eat, I slept, I fed my fish." said Flare while he was playing his game.

"Flare, you have to go outside, you look terrible!" said Rainbow Dash.

"It makes me sad, that you're sad." said Pinkie.

"Sorry, I don't like making ponies sad face. But I can't help being sad face myself." said Flare.

"We're your friends, Flare. We'll do all we can to get you back up." said Twilight.

"Yeah, thanks, but no thanks, Light." said Flare.

"C'mon Flare. You gotta snap outta it!" said Spike going in front of Flare's face.

"Dude, you're blocking the way, I'm trying to fight this dragon! Nothing personal, buddy." said Flare.

"Get up on your feet, and dance to the beat, because it's time to get your shop nice and neat!" said Pinkie.

"Why?" asked Flare.

"We're gonna ask the Health Inspector to give you another chance!" said Pinkie.

Flare paused his game. "Look, it ain't easy. I haven't worked in days. And I think they're planning to demolish my shop." said Flare.

"DEMOLISH!" everypony yelled at the same time. "JINX!"

"Flare, we gotta stop that! You're shop doesn't deserve it!" cried Spike.

"I know, but the Health Inspector said it was a grease trap." said Flare.

"No he didn't." said Rainbow Dash.
"Well it sounded like he said it, with that attitude." said Flare.

"C'mon Flare, we're going!" said Rainbow Dash, he grabbed Flare, but Flare was hanging onto his controller, and wouldn't let go.

"NOOOO!" whinned Flare. "NOOOO!"

"We're going to your shop, and that is that!" cried Rainbow Dash trying to carry Flare out, but Flare wouldn't let go of his controller.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" whinned Flare.

"You're unbelieveable!" said Rainbow Dash.

Spike chuckled evily. "I know of a way that'll get him to move." Spike started tickling Flare.

"LOLOLOLOL! Stop tickling me dum dum! Please stop tickling me, please!" Flare cried out in laughter. Then Flare let go of his controller, and Dash was carrying him out. "Holy Wizard of Feelings, I hate you guys! No not really, but PUT ME DOWN!"

Everypony walked over to Flare's Shop. AppleJack and Rarity were over there trying to tell the Demolition crew to stop.

"Ah'm tellin ya'll, STOP THE DECONSTRUCTION! This resturant is the best of the best!" cried AppleJack.

"It was the best of the best." said a demolition pony. "But now it's just a waste of space."

"Excuse me, but if you didn't know, this shop put smiles on many pony's faces, and I will not stand around while you take away a treasuing piece of Ponyville." said Rarity.

"Look, ladies." said the pony. "I'm getting paid to destroy this building. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do."

"I'LL MAY DOUBLE!" cried Rarity.

"Are you sure? I'm getting a thousand bits to destroy this building." said the pony.

"I'LL PAY YOU THREE THOUSAND!" cried Rarity.

"Three thousand? That's almost yer entire savings." said AppleJack.

"It's a sacarfice I'm willing to make!" said Rarity. "If we just had a chance to put this place back in shape, we'll show you that this place SHOULD NOT, I say SHOULD NOT get knocked down!" cried Rarity.

"LOL you sound, I say you sound like Foghorn Leghorn. ROFLMAO!" said Flare. "But, sniff. That was beautiful Rarity! But you don't have to do this."

"I must! For there are many ponies that'll become very upset if this was bound to happen!" cried Rarity.

Flare ran to Rarity and hugs her. "You're the best! I less then three you, Rare!" said Flare.

"Likewise, Flare. Likewise." said Rarity.

"What are you doing? I asked for this place to be wrecked down a half-hour ago!" cried Jones.

"Health Inspector Jones?" said Twilight.

"ANGRY FACE!" cried Flare.

"Don't go angry face with me, this place is a disgrace to pony kind and must be knocked down, ASAP!" said Jones.

"LISTEN YOU!" Rainbow Dash yelled in the Health Inspector's face. "This place is a fine dining resturant, with a beautiful atmosphere, and delicious food! YOU ON THE OTHER HAND ARE A DISGRACE TO HEALTH INSPECTORS EVERYWHERE!"

"I respect your opinion, miss, but the law is the law." said Jones. "I can't change my mind, what's done is done. You can't undo what's already been done. You can't..."

"Alright we get it already!" said Spike.

"Tear it down, I'll pay you five times the price." Jones said the demolition pony.

"WHAT?" cried the ponies.

"I'm sorry Flare, I don't have enough to double that." said Rarity.

"It's kay, sister. You tried your best. What's done is done he said. We can't undo it." said Flare.

The demolition pony started the wrecking ball, and started swinging it.

"WAIT!" cried Flare.

"Stop." the Health Inspector said to the demolition pony. "Now what?"

"May I have a chance to... say goodbye." asked Flare.

"For what? It's just a building! It doesn't have feelings!" said Jones.

"Jones, let him say good-bye." said the demolition pony.

"Fine, make it quick." said Jones.

Flare started tearing up and hugged the building.

"This is it, huh?" Flare started sadly. "After three months of hard work, and ratings that went to the roof, you're suddenly going to fall. I knew this wasn't gonna last forever. But I didn't know it would be this soon. Sniff. And to think, I was gonna expand you into Canterlot, but that's not gonna happen. Now the fresh new shop which made ponies very happy face... suddenly will go back to when before I moved into this old town."

"Hey this town isn't that old you know." said Rainbow Dash. Everypony shushed her.

"Crying face." said Flare. "And so this is the last day of Flare's Pizza Parlor. Nothing will ever replace you." The Mane 6, Spike, and the Demolition pony all had tears in their eyes, then Pinkie started crying real loud, and her tears came out of her eyes like a waterfall.

"Good-bye." said Flare. "Okay... do it."

"Finally! That was the worse speech I ever heard!" said Jones.

"Your face is the worse speech I ever heard!" Flare said to him an angry tone.

"That made zero sense." said Jones.

"You make zero sense an hour. OOOOOOH! Owned!" said Flare.

"Get this building tore down so I can go home and watch my soap." said Jones.

"I'm sorry." the Demolition pony said to Flare. Then he started the wrecking ball engines.

Flare hugged his friends. "I can't watch! Crying face!" Flare said looking away.

"Me neither." said Fluttershy.

"This is the type of destruction I don't like." said Rainbow Dash. They all started holding eachother real tight, the health inspector had an evil smile on his face, and the Demolition pony sadly swung the wrecking ball. Before the wrecking ball can hit the shop, it was stopped by unicorn magic.

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" cried Princess Luna, alongside Shining Armor, Cadance, Engineer, Lyra, and Bon Bon.

"Princess Luna?" said Jones in shock.

"Luna? What are you doing here?" asked Flare. "Not that I mind, but this is a sad occation here."

"You shouldn't be sad anymore, Flare Gun." said Luna. "After all the nice stuff you done for me, even when I lost hope on having ponies like me, I owe you one. THAT HEALTH INSPECTOR IS AN IMPOSTER!"

"Ridiculous!" said Jones. "I'm Health Inspector Jones." Jones held out a badge.

"No you're not!" said Luna. "This is Health Inspector Jones."

Another pony in a trench coat came out behind Princess Luna.

"That's him! That's the pony that stole my badge!" cried the real Jones.

Two police ponies showed up and hoof cuffed him.

"That's right, this was a set up!" said the fake Jones. "My name is Chef Boorlie."

"More like Chef Poorlie. L-O-L!" teased Flare.

"Shut up!" cried Boorlie. "You have been stealing my business for three whole months!"

"Hey, the customers wanted to come over here. I didn't steal nothin." said Flare. "Except for a few chocolate chip cookies at Sugarcube Corner. Sorry Pinkie."

"That's okay, I don't mind, I do it all the time!" said Pinkie.

"I work at a pizza parlor in Canterlot. It's called Boorlie's Dining." explained Boorlie. "I sold pizzas over there for years. But then you showed up in Ponyville. Princesses Celestia and Luna say you have the best pizza in Equestria! Everypony started going to Ponyville to have your pizzas, instead of mine. I heard you also sold pastas, salads, sandwiches, I never sold that stuff. So I started losing business, so I had to think of something. I decided to disguise myself as a Health Inspector to so I can shut you down. I'm the one who broke your oven, and messed with the toilets in your bathrooms. I also shot pieces of bread crumbs at the bird's mouths so they'd sing off key. I also faked that choking when I ate your food. To tell the truth, it was delicious, but I didn't want that to blind my mission!"

"I apologize, brah." said Flare. "I didn't mean to steal your business. I just wanted to make ponies happy and sell them something really good. But I wasn't trying to steal anypony's business. I know not to sell sweet stuff, that's Sugarcube Corner's job, and for the apple stuff, that's Sweet Apple Acres! I never even heard of your pizza business. If I would've known, I would've just sold pastas."

"Yeah, well... I'm sure it wasn't all your fault." said Boorlie. "I'm sorry."

"I accept your apologee, my friend. Smiley face." said Flare with a smile.

"So you gonna let me go?" asked Flare.

"It's not up to me. Like you said, the law is the law, you can't change that." said Flare.

"YOU DUMB COLT! STEAL MY BUSINESS AND USE MY OWN LINES AGAINST ME! YOU'RE A FOOL FLARE GUN!" cried Boorliee as he was taken by the police to the police carrage. "WHEN I GET OUT, YOUR BUSINESS IS HISTORY! YOU HEAR ME? HISTORY!"

"Yes, brah! You're right! My business is history!" said Flare. Then everypony laughed. The next day came, Flare's Pizza Parlor was reopened, and had a Grand Re-Opening ribbon on the sign. Everypony in town was eating over there, even Shinning Armor and Cadance gave the place another chance. Flare walked over to Shining and Cadnace with the ultimate pizza.

"Ultimate pizza, take two, and action!" said Flare.

"Thank you, Flare!" said Shining. "This pizza looks delicious!"

"You know how Flare is, bro." said Twilight with her hoof around Flare. "Flare's his name, and pizza's his game."

"You got that right, Twiliee." said Shining Armor.

"Aunt Celestia was right! Best pizza in Equestria!" said Cadance.

"Flare we have Number seventeen's order ready!" cried Lyra.

"I got it!" said Derpy. Derpy put on her magnet gloves and carried the pizza, then she tripped and fell, but was still holding the pizza, because the tray was made of metal, and she had magnet gloves on. Derpy smiled. Sweetie Belle was singing on stage again, but this time she was singing 'Hot Pants' by Bobby Byrd.

"So, Flare Gun, did you learn anything in these past few days?" asked Luna.

"Yes I did, Luna!" said Flare. "Health Inspectors are real jerks! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!" Then they both started laughing, then the Mane 6 and everypony else was too.

Meanwhile at the Canterlot castle dungeon, Boorlie was in his cell all alone. A shadow appeared right outside his cell. Boorlie was startled by the shadow. "AAH!" he cried. Then he relieved himself. "Oh, it's only you boss."

"Boorlie, it seemed that you have failed your task." said a voice.

"I'm sorry! It was all Princess Luna! She found out about our plan!" said Boorlie.

"I give you a simple task to shut down the pizza parlor, and now you're trapped in a dungeon?!" said the voice, in an angry tone.

"Please let me out, boss! I promise I'll do better!" Boorlie begged.

"Umm... let me think... NO!" the voice yelled. "I was going to save your business, but your useless attempt has ended this partnership. Have fun in your new home." The voice laughed evilly, and sprayed a black dot with a big red 'S' on the dungeon wall, then threw the spray at Boorlie, and the shadow vanished.
