Chapter 4: Party Time Job

Location: Equestria, Ponyville, The Streets of Ponyville

Time: Eighteen Hours post Arrival

It was a beautiful morning in Ponyville. Beautiful for most ponies, except a certain lavender unicorn who nearly got her house incinerated. Twilight was walking with Harbinger through Ponyville, her face clearly showing minor frustration.

Harbinger: *turns towards Twilight* You're not mad at what for happened this morning, are you?

The lavender mare just glared at him.

Twilight: *in a tone oozing with sarcasm* Oh no, I'm actually VERY happy that you almost, BURNED DOWN MY HOUSE!

Harbinger: It was your fault for calling me THAT name.

Location: Equestria, Ponyville, Ponyville Library

Time: Earlier that morning

Twilight woke up early in the morning, stretching to get the feel back to her muscles. Spike was awake a little earlier then her, to start a chores earlier. She jumped out of bed, levitated a brush and brushed her mane. She washed her teeth and did a little shower ( Do they have showers? Don't know, don't care. They have showers here.) and went down to eat breakfast. Spike was in the kitchen cooking some vegetable soup, Harbinger was on the couch unmoving and unglowing. She walked up to him and tapped his hoof.

Twilight: Harbinger it's time to wake up.

The Reaper was not moving, she tried again.

Twilight: Wakey, wakey, little Harby.

This time it actually worked…a little to well. The insectoid body suddenly jerked up and started glowing. –Assuming Direct Contol- As with the first time it ended with a small explosion, although this one was a little stronger. He turned towards Twilight glaring, the fire on him burning with stronger intensity.

Harbinger: Do. Not. Call Me. HARBY!

Twilight shrunk back at the sight of he angry Reaper. Spike came out of the kitchen, looking at the duo confused. Then he looked around and saw.

Spike: FIRE!

The library was burning. Spike ran out trying to call the Fire Brigade. Twilight looked around, slowly absorbing the situation before turning towards Harbinger with an even stronger glare. Seconds later ponies watching from outside were suddenly startled, when Harbinger flew through the wall, with the burned couch following behind, falling on top of him. Good thing the fire was quenched by the fast working pegasi.

Location: Equestria, Ponyville, Streets of Ponyville

Time: Current Time

The unicorn and pony-reaper came up to Sugar Cube Corner, a building made of what appeared to be various confectionary treats. They went inside where a small chubby mare with blue fur, a pink mane and a Cutie Mark of three cupcakes, and a lanky stallion with orange fur, dark orange mane and a Cutie Mark of three pieces of cake. The mare turned towards Twilight.

Mrs. Cake: Good Morning Twilight,*turns towards Harbinger* Oh DEAR! *nervous* Um…Twilight, i-is that you friend.

Harbinger: *plainly* I am not her friend.

Twilight: *clears throat* Good Morning Mrs. Cake. Well, he's sort of an acquaintance…I'm just giving him a tour of the city.

Mrs. Cake: Oh, you're the new… 'pony' in town. Pinkie said something about her Pinkie Sense saying someone will come to town. She came back this morning, said that she'll go look for him.

Twilight: She's back already? How did the contest go?

The orange stallion who overheard the conversation, came in the room carrying pastries which upon seeing Harbinger he nearly dropped. But quickly composed himself and smiled uneasily.

Mr. Cake: *to Harbinger* You must be the…

Harbinger: *matter-of-factly* Reaper.

Mr. Cake: You must be the new…uh…Reaper, Pinkie was talking about, she also said the Cooking Contest was cancelled, apparently Princess Celestia couldn't come so they moved it to next week.

Twilight: Do you know where we can find Pinkie?

Mrs. Cake: She said she'll be going out a bit, but where exactly we didn't say.

Twilight: Thank you Mrs. Cake, I'll see you at the party.

Mrs. Cake: Oh, Twilight, you can take a cupcake for you and your frie-

Harbinger:*plainly* Acquaitance.

Mrs. Cake: A-acquaintance.

Twilight took two cupcakes, thanking the Cakes for their generosity. Harbinger bowed his head slightly in gratitude. The two walked to the Town Hall, Twilight happily munching on her cupcake, while Harbinger looked at it appraisingly.

Harbinger: This 'cupcake' appears to be quite a popular dish amongst ponies.

Twilight: Sugar Cube Corner makes the best ones in Equestria, it's hard to not like them.

Harbinger: Last I heard, products of panification aren't very healthy for equines.

Twilight tried to open her mouth to say something, but found herself unable to. She looked at her cupcake with a worried expression, then she just shrugged and ate the rest in one bite, nearly choking in the process.

Location: Equestria, Ponyville, Town Hall.

Time: A few minutes later.

Twilight and Harbinger were standing in front of a large board with various papers posted on them.

Twilight: This is the Ponyville Request Board, ponies from town come here to post or take various job requests, when they need some help or just some quick money to make.

Harbinger: And you brought me here, why?

Twilight: *with a smirk* Someone has to pay for the damage you've done to the library. So if figured…

Harbinger: …that you want me to take a job and pay you for it.*sigh* Let's just get this over with.

Twilight was surprised with how easily she was able to convince him to work. She actually thought he was just a stuck up snob like the Canterlot ponies, but the fact that he was willing to sleep outside and now this, proved she was wrong. The two looked over various requests and stopped at a particular one.

*Request*

Help is required at the Ponyville Animal Care, if you don't mind that is. But if you do mind then it's ok. But if you will come I would be grateful. A little knowledge on how to take care of animal is required.

Talk to Fluttershy.

Harbinger: That is the most badly written request I have ever seen. Looks like two people actually worked on it.

Twilight: Well, Fluttershy is like that, so it's not surprising that she needed some help writing it. You can take it if you want, from what you told me you have good knowledge on animal species.

Harbinger: You may be right. I still have not had a chance to experi- study the species of this planet thoroughly.

Twilight raised an eyebrow, but the shrugged and took Harbinger to Fluttershy.

Location: Equestria, Ponyville, Ponyville Animal Care

Time: Half an hour later

When the pony and Reaper came up to Fluttershy's House – a hollowed out tree similar to Ponyville Library, that was filled with various utilities for animal care. The sight in front of Fluttershy's Cottage surprised both Twilight and Harbinger, although the later was more surprised in a different way. In front of Ponyville Animal Care stood a line of many stallions who apparently took the same request. Some where standing idly while others were hoof-wrestling for a better place in line. A pink pony with a dark pink mane wearing a cap, was walking on her hind-legs with a tray filled with various drinks and snacks. Fluttershy could be seen through the window trying to convince everyone to leave.

Harbinger: It appears the yellow Pegasus is quite popular among stallions.

Twilight:*sarcastically* Geez, what gave it away?

Harbinger: Their pheromones. *silently* There are also a few mares here too.

There was an awkward silence on Twilight's part, until she cleared her throat, blushing.

Twilight: Well, I don't think Fluttershy is going to take everypony here to work, or anyone for that matter, she doesn't want to make anyone feel bad, so maybe we can try and take the job to help her.

Harbinger: As long as I can get you off my back for what happened in the morning.

The lavender mare glared at him, then sighed and started to walk to Fluttershy's Cottage, when she was stopped by a stallion.

Stallion: Hey, there's a line here you know, if you wanna' take the job wait for your turn.

Twilight: But, but Fluttershy's my friend.

Stallion: Everyone here is Fluttershy's 'friend'. That trick won't work.

One of the mares in the crowd gasped upon seeing Harbinger.

Mare: She's with the monster. She brought the monster here! She's controlling it!

The crowd became suddenly angry at Twilight. She looked around in fright as the crowd started to move closer screaming various obscenities at her. One unicorn stallion then jumped out of the crowd launching a green spell towards Twilight. The crowd gasped, Twilight closed her eyes bracing for the spell, but then nothing came. She opened her eyes and saw Harbinger standing between the unicorn and herself with green energy flowing from him.

Harbinger: *in a menacing tone* Weak.

The light and flames on his body, started glowing brighter.

Harbinger: I will show you true Power.

He jerked a hoof upwards launching a cascade of shockwaves that sent all the crowd toppling in a comic fashion. The Reaper then casually trotted towards the cottage, grabbing the bewildered Twilight in a telekinetic grasp. While the ponies recovered from the shockwaves Harbinger with the lavender mare entered the house to find Fluttershy hiding in a corner and the weird pink pony bouncing and trying to coax the Pegasus out of her cover.

Harbinger: Unicorn, we have arrived.

Twilight immediately woke up looking around and seeing that she was indeed in the cottage. Flutteshy squeaked and ran to hide somewhere else upon hearing the Reaper's voice, and Pinkie started talking.

Pinkie: Hi'ya I'm Pinkie Pie, I'm Ponyville's Master Party Planner, what's you're name? Do you like cupcakes? Why do you look like that? Why do you have four eyes? Can you cook marshmallows on that fire? Are you new in town?

Before Harbinger could answer any question, (which unlike most ponies, he heard every single word, due to his nature as an AI) Pinkie jumped in the air, gasping, before dashing off, breaking a window in the process.

Harbinger: Why am I not surprised with that reaction?

Twilight: Actually that's her reaction to every new pony. Expect a party this evening.

Harbinger: I do not like the idea of a party. I think I will pass this one. Anyway, where is the yellow Pegasus.

Fluttershy crawled from under the bed, looking to the two of them and sighing in realief.

Fluttershy: I thought someone b-broke in and I was so s-scared. Thank you for coming here. I wanted some help but *looks out of the window* this is too much. I don't want to hurt anyone's felling by saying no.

Twilight: That's why we're here, Harbinger wanted to do some work to pay for the repairs to the library, after he nearly burnt it down.

Harbinger just gave her a nice sh*t eating grin.

Fluttershy: Oh, that's wonderful. You can help, if you don't mind. There were a lot of newborns this week so I can't handle all of them. Do you know how to feed animals, Harbinger?

There was no response. The two mares looked around and saw him and Fluttershy's pet bunny Angel, glaring at eachother. Angel, was in a fighting stance, holding a carrot like a sword. Harbinger, had his hoof raised, the flames on his body burning with a strong intensity.

Harbinger: I heard some races consider rabbits, a delicacy.

Angel: *in bunny language which Harbinger understands somehow* And I heard there are a lot of good insecticides on the market this season.

Both of them snarled at the other, and just as they were about to lunge at eachother, they were separated by Twilight's magic. Both of them growled.

Harbinger: I do not like that bunny, but he may be quite a good test subject.

Angel just huffed and turned away.

Twilight: *nervously* So Harbinger, what's your answer?

Harbinger: What was the question?

Despite expectations, the job went on well, except the few run-ins between the Reaper and the Rabbit. It was finally the end of the day so Harbinger went to Fluttershy to collect his pay.

Fluttershy: Oh, thank you if it weren't for you two I never would have finished today.

She reached towards her saddlebags and pulled out a bag of bits. Harbinger took it, but before he could place it in his own saddlebags, Twilight snatched it with her magic.

Twilight: . AH. You know the drill, I get both your share and mine. You still have the rest to pay off.

The Reaper gave her a glare, while the mare just smirked. The two walked away at that, bidding Fluttershy farewell, although she was coincidentally going in the same direction as them so she joined them. Harbinger turned towards Angel, who remained at home and gave him a malicious grin, which the bunny returned.

Location: Ponyville, Outside Sugar Cube Corner

Time: Thirty One hours post Arrival

The two mares and Reaper were standing in front of Sugar Cube Corner. The Reaper looked at the building suspiciously.

Harbinger: Why are we here again? Is this because of the party you spoke of earlier.

Twilight: *innocently* What party? There's no party. We just came here because… *looks for a reason*

Fluttershy: B-because Angel wanted something from Pinkie Pie.

Upon the mention of the rabbit's name, Harbinger's mouth turned into a sly grin. Ideas of how to use this situation to take care of the rabbit were running in his head. He walked right in forgetting about the mentioned party and…

Everyone: SURPRISE!

Harbinger: *with a sullen look* Just my luck.

Transmission Terminated

Codex: Twilight Sparkle

Twilight Sparkle is a unicorn pony, born in Canterlot and currently resident of Ponyville. Born to unicorns Star Sparkle and Nightlight, she is a magical prodigy and the current wielder of the Element of Harmony – Magic. While living in Canterlot she was the personal student of Princess Celestia. Currently while living in Ponyville she runs the Ponyville Library with her dragon assistant Spike. She keeps contact with her mentor via friendship report and can be very strict with sending them. In instances when she cannot send one, the result are not pretty…

Author's Note: (May contain spoilers from Fallout: Equestria)I am aware that the fanbase name for Twilight's mother is Twilight Velvet, but after reading Kkat's Fallout:Equestria, where her name is Star Sparkle, I noticed that it would be hard to name both of them Twilight. So I went with the name Star Sparkle. I have no idea how long this fic will last, but I'm hoping for a maximum of 30 chapter. Thanks for the support (all viewers, since reviews are not accurate with the overall watchability of the fanfic). –LittleMisterBlack out-
