Chapter 41: 41. Chapter 41: Enter the Crusaders

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

In the early morning hours, I began to hear a voice speaking softly. "Blaze. Blaaazzzeee. Time to get up."

Still mostly asleep, I said, "Mmm, five more minutes."

"Now, unless you want me to pour a bucket of water on you." The voice said.

Still asleep with my eyes closed, I pointed my hoof in the direction of the voice. I launched a ki blast.

"AHHH! BLAZE, WHAT THE FUCK!"

The shouting woke me up. I sat up in bed and looked in the direction of where it came from. Al was crouched down, having his hands on top of his head. Above him, I saw a nice circular hole with scorch marks going up all the way and through the roof.

Al regained himself and stood back up. "I am never going to try and wake you up again. You almost took MY HEAD OFF!"

"Sorry dude. You know I am never like this. I will repair the hole shortly. What time is it?" I said as I began to get out of the bed."

"Just after sunrise. Man, that nightmare must have been an awful one for you to wake up after sunrise. What was it about?"

Recalling what I saw and felt, a massive shiver went up my back. "I don't really know, but I think I should consult with Princess Luna as she protects the night and dreams." I performed several jutsu to repair the hole and make it look like nothing happened.

"Let's head downstairs and have breakfast before it gets cold."

I sniff the air to try and smell what was made. My mouth begins to water as I recall the smell. "Oh, you made chocolate chip pancakes. Race you down."

"You're ON!"

Al runs out the door and closes it behind him to try and slow me down. I just smirk as I teleported to the dining room table. I began to eat my dozen tall stack just as Al came running into the room.

"Beat you." I said with my mouth full.

"I should have known you would do that. Also, don't talk with your mouth full. Just discussing."

I just smiled and continued to eat. I said bye to Al as I put my saddle bag on and headed out the door. Out in my front yard was Pinkie Pie standing there, waiting for me. I put a smile on and walked up to her. "Morning Pinkie. Making sure I head to school?" I said.

"That, plus to give you your lunch." Pinkie Pie said. She pulls a brown bag from her saddlebag.

"Not all dessert stuff again, correct?"

"Nope. I asked Mrs. Cake to help me pack a healthy lunch. I told her the story of my second cousin story and explained why you were not staying with me due to my crazy party planning I do each night for the next day."

"Thank you for not telling the actual truth. I don't know if my mind could handle if everypony found out what happened to me and began to laugh." I let out a big yawn as we began to head to the school.

"Aww, did little Rocky did not get enough sleepy weepy last night?"

"My body probably did. I don't think my mind did. I had an odd dream, or should I say nightmare. I am trying to figure out what it means."

"You poor thing, how about you tell your cousin about these bady wady dreams?"

Before I could respond, I heard my colt name being shouted from behind us. We stopped and looked back to see who was shouting. It was Apple Bloom and she was running to catch up with us.

"Morning Rocky. Why are you and Pinkie Pie out here instead of coming from Sugarcube Corner?" Apple Bloom said after she caught up.

I responded first by saying, "Even though Pinkie promised to watch me while my parents are in Canterlot, I could not sleep with her there as she does party planning into the late hours of the nights. Plus all those sugary treats would taunt me with their smells."

"So I asked Swift Blaze and Al if he could stay there for this week. They both said it was alright, as long as I take him to school and make his lunch for him. They can cover breakfast and dinner time." Pinkie added.

"Oh you met the two humans? What do you think of them?" Apple Bloom said while excited.

"Well, I have only met Blaze very briefly. He said he had to take care of some paperwork in Canterlot and would be gone a few days. As for Al, he looks to be a good pony, er human. He just acts a little weird sometimes." I said.

"I have only seen him at the party. Did not get a chance to talk to him. Do you know if he has a cutie mark?"

"Can't say I have."

"Speaking of cutie marks, my friends and I created a club for colts and fillies that don't have theirs yet. We do lots of fun things as we try to figure out what we are good at."

Oh, I recall some of the stuff from the show. You sometimes create havoc when trying to find them. "Sounds like fun. What is the name of this club?" I looked at Pinkie Pie and she just had a big grin on her face.

"It is the Cutie Mark Crusaders. We actually have a meeting/sleepover at Sweetie Belle's sister's house. We are going to work on getting our cutie marks. Do you want to join and come over?" Apple Bloom asked with the infectious puppy dog eyes.

"Well, I would like to join. Seeing Pinkie is watching me, I will need her permission to stay over."

"Of course you can, Rocky. I never want to stop you from having fun. Just make sure you play nice with the other fillies." Pinkie Pie said.

"I will."

We arrived at the school. Pinkie said goodbye to us and headed off to do her thing. Apple Bloom ran up to Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo and informed them of the news. When I caught up, they were both happy. All three of them were jumping around me and chanting, "We have a new crusader."

A pony from behind us said, "Well, well, well, looks like you have joined where you belong. With the other Blank Flanks."

The girls stopped jumping and we all turned to face the only filly who is obnoxious, Diamond Tiara. "Hello there Diamond Tiara, how is that bruise feeling?" I said.

Diamond Tiara placed a hoof over the spot where I hit her. She looked very mad for bringing that up. "Just so you know, I told my daddy what you did. He hired some Royal Guards to watch me. So if you cause harm to me or Silver Spoon, they have orders to arrest you and take you to the dungeon."

Really? Royal Guards are being paid to watch brats? Let's see where these guards are at. I looked at the nearby bushes and forest. It did not take me long to spot them with their shining armor poking out of the shrub. Only three? Not even worth the effort if they knew who I really am. "I am sorry for hitting you, alright? Just leave me and my friends alone and everything will be fine."

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon glared at me for a few seconds. They then walked around us and continued on to school. I did see them glance down a few times. Probably expecting to trip them again. Let's just hope they don't bother us again. We entered the school and took our seats. 'Another boring day. I can only look forward to is recess, lunch, and school ending. It is going to be a LONG day.

-Meanwhile-

(Al's POV)

I just got done cleaning the dishes and kitchen from cooking breakfast. I looked around to see what to do next. Well, I don't have that spike bed to work on my anger control. I think I will go into town and take care of a few things I planned to do if I ever came to Equestria. Leaving the house, I made my way into town. I waved to the ponies as I walked. They smiled and waved back. I soon came by Rarity's place. Slamming a fist downward to my open palm hand, I thought, That's right! I need to pick up my clothes Rarity made for me. I know I went plain into the design, but I never liked anything fancy style to wear. I liked to see it when others wear it. You will just never see me in those getups.

I opened the door and headed inside. The bell over the door rang as I opened and closed the door. Rarity said, "Coming! Welcome to Carousel Boutique, where every garment is chic, unique and magnifique. Now what can I help you with?"

"Morning Rarity. I came by to get the set of clothes you said you were going to make for me. Are they ready?" I said.

"But of course. They have been made to what you requested. I still don't know why you and Blaze won't allow me to spruce them up for you."

"It is because human males would rather see the females look all fancy in their clothing. Men only do so also for special occasions. Like the coming Gala. Both of us will be wearing tuxedos in order to look good for you and the others we are escorting."

"Speaking of, I need to make the final adjustments to it. It is hanging in the changing room over there. Please put it on and come back out so I can look you over."

"Certainly Rarity. I will be back out in a minute." My turn to be a pin cushion. Hope it does not take that long.

-Back at School-

(Blaze POV)

Finally! Recess. I thought it would never come. The other kids and I were heading outside like a stampede. The CMC came up to me as I looked around for something to do.

"Hey, Rocky! Can we see some other things you can do with your ability?" Scootaloo asked.

"Uh, sure. Let's see." I said. I began to think of what I could do with my Earth Jutsu that they would like. I stomped my fore hooves on the ground. I brought up a round, stone table and stone benches.

The CMC had their eyes go big at the site. I went to one bench and the others took a seat on the others. They looked at the design as they felt the surface.

"You really have a talent at this. Besides gems, I have never seen anything so nice." Sweetie Belle said.

"That may be true. As you can see, I don't have a cutie mark yet." I said.

"At least you have an idea what you are good at. You just have to be a little bit more specific. We still don't have any clue what our cutie marks are." Apple Bloom said.

"And I think you four will be forever, Blank Flanks." Diamond Tiara as she walked up to us.

"Nice one." Silver Spoon said while by Diamond Tiara side.

Oh great, there goes the fun I hoped to have at recess. We all turn to face them. I said, "Please Diamond Tiara, I don't want any trouble. Just leave us alone."

"Fat chance. You humiliated me yesterday. You tripped us into the mud. Destroying the original top to my tiara. Finally, you hit me!"

"Listen, I said I was sorry for hitting you. I made an exact copy of your precious topper. Finally you deserve being tripped into that mud seeing you treat everypony else like mud." I stood up and had my fore hooves on the table. "I am trying to be nice instead of giving you the beating your parents should be giving you ya spoiled brat."

That really made her mad. Silver Spoon was actually holding her back. The Cutie Mark Crusaders got up and stood by my side. Probably to make sure I don't get into a fight. Diamond Tiara shook Silver Spoon off her. Taking a few deep breaths, Diamond Tiara then said, "You are not worth it. See you later, Blank Flanks and Freak."

I remained calm as those two started to walk away. Diamond Tiara suddenly tripped on her own. She quickly gets up and shouts, "GUARD! ARREST THAT PONY FOR TRIPPING ME!"

"He did not trip you! He is right over here and did not use his ability as his hooves never left the table." Scootaloo said.

The three guards came out from the places they were hiding. All three were Unicorns. They surrounded us at the table. One guard spoke up and said, "Come with us quietly."

"He didn't do anything!" Apple Bloom shouted.

"You can't take him!" Sweetie Bells chimed in.

By this time, Miss Cheerilee heard the commotion and quickly came over. "What's going on?" She asked.

"Miss, we are to take in this young colt in for tripping Diamond Tiara." Another guard said.

"I did not trip her Miss. Cheerilee. I promise." I said.

"I know you didn't. I am sorry, but you can't take him. He is enrolled in my class. So during school time, all of these kids are under my supervision. So if you don't mind, I am going to take these kids back in so I can teach them."

"I am afraid we are under orders if he brings any harm to Diamond Tiara. Now please step aside before I arrest you too." The guard commanded.

By this time, the rest of the kids have stopped playing and gathered around to see what will happen. I can't fight these guards without bringing harm to these kids. Guess I have no choice. "I will go with you as long as you leave everypony else alone."

"Rocky, you don't have to do that. We all know you are innocent." Miss. Cheerilee said.

"Except for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon." Scootaloo added.

"I don't want you to get arrested too for trying to protect me. Who will watch after your students? I will be fine. Just go and find Pinkie Pie and Al and tell them what happened. I will be back tomorrow."

Miss. Cheerilee nodded. One guard activated his horn and tried to pick me up. "How heavy is this colt? I can't pick him up." He said.

"Let me help you." The second guard said. He activated his horn and joined in trying to pick me up. Those two were really struggling and making no improvement.

"What kind of weaklings are you. Guess I have to bail you out." The third guard said. When he activated his horn to join the other in lifting me up. I was just an inch off the ground when I came back down. The Royal Guard horns stopped glowing. They were breathing heavily.

How many weak guards are there? Can't even lift something weighing about 600lbs. 500 of which is magical. This is just pathetic. "I said I was going willingly. You don't have to carry me." I said.

"It is regulation to place the accused in a bubble and carry them so they don't escape." One guard said.

"One side effect with my rare ability. It makes me as heavy as a rock also. I am guessing I weigh about 600lbs."

"600 POUNDS! How are you even walking?" Another guard shouted.

"How about I just walk with you seeing as you can't pick me up."

They all nodded. I was placed in the middle of a triangle formation. I looked back and saw Miss Cheerilee telling Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo something before they ran off in another direction. I then saw her look angry at Diamond Tiara and scooted her to get inside. I might be going to jail for a little bit. You have to deal with the wrath of Miss. Cheerilee. I see detentions in your future.

As I was walking between the guards, I decided to send a mental message to Princess Celestia. Princess Celestia, do you read me?

Princess Celestia replied, Blaze, I promised that I have not been spying on you.

I know you haven't. I am contacting regarding another issue. This time it is not my fault, Well not entirely.

What is going on Blaze?

I told her what happened yesterday and what just happened. I told her that I said I was sorry several times. I even shared my memory of what happened as proof. I could feel the Princess was thinking this over for a little bit.

I shall send Captain Shining Armor to take care of this. It will be a couple hours before he will get there by flying stage coach. Hope you don't mind?

Not at all. I can work on my mind on other thoughts. I do request to save punishment when I get my form back. I want them to realize who they dealt with.

I think that sounds fair. So how is it being a colt?

Can't really tell as trouble keeps on finding me. I am actually hoping tomorrow will be a better sense of normal, not my kind where trouble keeps on finding me.

With what you had to go through back on Earth, I think this might be a reward to get another chance to have fun at a young age. Well I need to get back to Day Court. Can't keep the citizens waiting.

Thank you for sending some help.

With that I broke the connection. I looked and saw we were about to arrive at the guard station in Ponyville. They led me into a jail cell and locked it. With any of my abilities, I can break out of here with no issue. You are just lucky I don't want to be charged with escaping.

-Carousel Boutique-

(Al's POV)

Finally. I am done with getting my tux fitted. I lost count on being poked after a hundred times. I stepped out of the Boutique with my new clothes wrapped up in a bundle and placed in my saddle bag I am using as a back pack. I looked around to where I should head next. I then saw Sweetie Belle running to me. When she got to me, she was out of breath. "Hi Sweetie Belle, where is the fire? I thought you would be in school with Rocky?" I said.

While breathing hard, Sweetie Belle said, "Rock was (breath) arrested by (breath) Royal Guards (breath) because of (breath) Diamond Tiara."

Great, what did Blaze get himself into. I leaned down to Sweetie Belle's level and placed my hands on her shoulders. "Alright, calm down and then tell me what happened."

-Somewhere in Ponyville-

(3td POV)

Pinkie Pie was skipping through town. She was waving to the other ponies as she went by them. All of a sudden, one of her Pinkie Senses went off. She got a sharp pinch on her back and her tail spiked out. She knew she never had felt this combo before as she tried to interpret what it could be, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo came running up.

"Pinkie! You have to come with us!" Apple Bloom shouted.

"Rocky has been arrested!" Scootaloo added.

Pinkie now knows what that combo means. Blaze was in trouble. "Come along girls and tell me what happened." Pinkie Pie said.

They began to tell her about this morning and what just happened at recess.

-In the Jail Cell-

(Blaze POV)

So, this is what the Jailhouse blues feels like. If only I had a harmonica to play it. I sat on the cot, now thinking about the dream I had. I had nothing better to do. That dream, or should I say nightmare, did not feel like a normal one. I actually felt pain. You can't feel pain in a dream. I could feel it when I am meditating training. Though I normally could control it, this one I had no control. Also, where in Equestria did I come up with the name Shadow Torch? He looked like me, just a very, dark, and evil version. I sure hope this was just a nightmare.

I suddenly heard shouting coming from the entrance area.

"I demand you release that colt! You have no right to take him in for something Miss Cheerilee could have handled. Since when do Royal Guard ponies take orders from civilians? I should clobber you right now! You do not deserve to be part of the Royal Guard!" Al shouted.

"Sir, I must ask you to leave, before I arrest you too for disturbing the peace and threatening an officer." A guard said.

"I would like to see you try."

"Al! What are you doing here?" I now heard Pinkie Pie said.

"Trying to get Rocky out of jail for false imprisonment." Al said.

"I am his guardian while his parents are in Canterlot. Please, let me handle this. Can you watch the fillies outside?"

"Sure Pinkie. I am just frustrated that this happened."

I heard the door to the outside open and then get slammed closed. I really need some one on one with him to help with his anger. He was able to keep it in check this time. I really don't want him to go berserk.

"Excuse me sirs, would it be alright if I can see Rocky and see how he is doing?" Pinkie asked.

"I don't see that being a problem. Oh and thanks for throwing me a birthday party last week. My friends and I had a blast." The guard said.

"I am glad you had fun."

I heard the door leading to the jail cells open and two ponies came walking down the hall. I first saw the guard and then Pinkie Pie show up to mine. The guard opened the jail cell and let Pinkie in.

"I will be back in a few to give you some privacy. Need anything, just shout." The guard said and left.

"How are you doing Blaze?" Pinkie asked quietly.

"Doing good. Not how I expected the colt's life to be." I said.

"I am sorry it is not what you were expecting." Pinkie Pie's hair began to deflate.

"It is not your fault Pinkie. This you could have not predicted. Please don't be sad."

"I just don't know how to get you out of here so you won't have to spend the night here and miss the sleep over with the Cutie Mark Crusaders."

"I have already taken care of that. I sent a mental message to Princess Celestia. She is sending Captain Shining Armor down to get these guards back in line."

"I hope he will really take care of these meany pants."

"Oh, he will. I will just have to deal with the laughter from him when he sees me like this. How are you dealing with Twilight. I saw you yesterday outside the school doing something."

"Oh, Twilight is trying to figure out how my Pinkie Sense works. My nose was itchy yesterday. That means a swarm of bees was coming. I think she got hit by them. She followed me for the rest of the day. I got the shakes all over my body which told me that there was a doozy at Foggy Bottom Bog. Fluttershy was there to move some of her froggy friends to a new place to live. Applejack, Twilight, Spike, and I went to check on her. She was fine. Then we came across a Hydra."

"A HYDRA!"

"A very mean one. We were able to escape. Then Twilight said she believed in my Pinkie Sense. That was the doozy. Then I saw you in Ponyville. I think her mind is off training you for now."

"Thanks Pinkie. I just did not want to deal with learning all the time. If I am stuck like this, I want to have fun."

"Well, I don't see how being in here can be fun."

"It is better than what Diamond Tiara is dealing with Miss. Cheerilee. Say, do you have two harmonicas?"

Pinkie Pie pulls them out of her mane. "I do but, I don't see how this will be fun."

"Just follow along."

-Couple hours later-

(Al POV)

I just got done chatting with the CMC. They all asked lots of questions. How did I get here, how I met Blaze, what can I do, and if I had a cutie mark. I answered them the best I could without saying anything scary. When I told them I did not have a cutie mark, they begged to join their club. They all did the big pouty eyes. My only, one, true, weakness. Nopony can say no to a face like that. I said yes and they were all thrilled. They had to go and get their sleep over ready for tonight. I said goodbye as they left.

After they left, a pony started to talk behind me. "So, what did Blaze do that neither of you could not straighten out?"

I turned around and saw Captain Shining Armor was standing there. "Well, you see, none of the Royal Guard believed I am one of them. I told them I just joined and did not have the suit of armor, or whatever I need to prove I am. Blaze, on the other hand, is in more of a pickle to prove WHO he is." I said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Let's just say he ate a laced cupcake that had Poison Joke in it. It turned him into a green, Earth colt. About the same age as those fillies that just left."

Captain Shining Armor just started to laugh out loud. While doing so, he said, "So the human that won the last Royal Guard Tournament and kicked my flank is now stuck as a colt? I have to see this."

Captain regains his composure before entering the guard house. When he opened the door, the three guards quickly saluted and said, "SIR! We were not aware you were coming, SIR!"

Shining Armor, looking all serious, said, "Care to explain the reason why you arrested a colt while he was AT school?"

"Sir, the colt tripped a filly just outside of the school during recess. We had orders if the filly got hurt by this colt, we are to take him in for assault. Sir." One guard said.

"Where did this order come from? Hmm?" Shining Armor sounding a little pissed off.

"We can't say it sir." Another guard said, sounding scared.

"Can't say to a COMANDING OFFICER! I ORDER YOU TO TELL ME WHO!"

"We were paid to do it by the filly's father, Filthy Rich." The third guard spoke.

"Taking a bribe from a civilian. You three just earned time in the Canterlot Dungeon. Officer Al, hold them down while I release the colt from his jail cell."

"With pleasure." I said. Before they could react, I increased the gravity pull on them. They collapsed to the ground, hard. They tried to get up, but failed. When I saw one tried to use their magic, I quickly made the unicorn fly up to the ceiling. Then back down to the floor. Knocking out the guard pony. I looked to the other two and said, "Don't try it or the same will happen to you."

-3rd POV-

Shining Armor opened the door and heard music playing.

He headed to the jail cell where the music was coming from. He saw Pinkie Pie playing all the instruments quite well and Blaze, aka Rocky, was on vocals and harmonica. He could not believe how Blaze looked. He cleared his throat to get their attention. Once the music stopped, he said, "So, the mighty have now become a colt."

"Let me give you some Poison Joke and see what funny thing it will do to you." Blaze said.

Shining Armor just started to laugh again. All of a sudden, he got hit with a bolt of lightning to his face. He coughed and then said, "Yep. That is you Blaze. I can tell your bolts from others."

"Laugh again and I will see if I can knock you out with the next one."

"Blaze! That was not nice." Pinkie Pie said.

"He started it!"

"That does not give you the right to shock him like that."

"It is alright. That bolt was more for show than to cause harm. I know he can dish out a lot more." Shining Armor said.

"Still he should not do that to a friend." Pinkie said.

"I think there is still a little grudge still from how I was first treated him while training him."

"And that is why I challenged you and kicked your flank around the arena." Blaze replied.

"You only won because you surprised me with that strange move and caused me to get a major nosebleed."

"Do you want me to do it again?"

"How about I leave you in here if you do?"

"You know this simple jail can't keep me in here."

"I know, but you know if you escape, you will be breaking the law."

"Then please let me out. I have plans tonight with a couple fillies."

"What are you going to do?"

"It is just a sleepover. They are working on getting their cutie mark. My colt form does not have one. So I was pressured to join their club."

"So, they don't know it is really you Blaze."

"I have been going by Rocky. Only a few ponies know what has happened. You demonstrated the reason why."

"Yes, *small chuckle*, I can see that clearly. Well let's get you out." Shining Armor opened the jail cell. Pinkie and Blaze headed out and follow Shining Armor to the front

-(Blaze POV)-

Once we were back in the front of the guard station, I looked at the three guard ponies being pinned down. "Hey Al, glad to see you are getting better control of your ability." I said.

"How come you did not take care of these punks yourself?" Al asked.

"One, I did not want to harm the other kids at the school. Two, I am still going as a colt named Rocky."

"If these guards only knew they were actually messing with Blaze."

"Wait? Blaze as in, Swift Blaze? The creature that won the latest Royal Guard Tournament?" A guard said while still pinned to the ground.

"And now they know. Thank you for blabbing that out." I said. I turned to the pinned guards that were still awake. "Yes, I am Swift Blaze. I got stuck in this form by Poison Joke. If you don't believe me, let me show you."

I created five elemental orbs and had them stay above me. I began to float in the air as I created a ki ball at the end of each hoof. The conscious guards were now showing fear on their faces. I dissipated the orbs and ki, then came back down on the ground.

"Now then, Captain Shining Armor is going to be taking you back to Canterlot where you will wait for your punishment when I get my real body back. You know taking bribes was wrong. I don't care how much the money was. You know the duty of the Royal Guard is to keep the peace and protect the ponies from danger. Stuff that happened at school between kids is kid stuff. We all did it and we sometimes get punished by the teacher if we took it too far. I did get a detention yesterday for hitting that filly. I did say I was sorry to her. I did not do any harm to her today. She just tripped on her own. I hope you share what I said to your unconscious buddy over there."

They both nodded. I think they are just wondering what punishment I will plan for them. I actually need to come up with it. Ah, I got time.

"Seeing I am taking these three back to Canterlot, would you mind covering the night guard duty? I will send some guards down in the morning to relieve you." Shining Armor said.

"Not a problem, I actually like the night life. So calm and relaxing." Al said.

"Well, I will see you all again at the Gala."

Al released his hold and Shining Armor placed the guards in magic bubbles. He levitated them out and headed back to Canterlot. Pinkie and I left Al to take care of his guard duty. As I was walking with Pinkie Pie, I just realized something. Well, my stomach reminded me.

"Pinkie! I left my saddle back at the school and the lunch you made me." I said.

"Well then let's go and get them." Pinkie said.

We quickly made our way back to the school. Pinkie waited outside while I headed in. When I opened the door, Miss Cheerilee was still there. I then saw Diamond Tiara at the blackboard. She was writing 'I will not falsely accuse another classmate.'. She was writing over and over, covering every inch of the blackboard. Oh this is too rich! Her hoof is going to be very sore by the time she is done.

I walked up to Miss Cheerilee and said, "Hi Miss. Cheerilee, I'm back. What did I miss?"

"Hi Rocky. Glad to see you are ok. I was not expecting to see you till tomorrow." Miss Cheerilee said.

"I got released for false imprisonment. I just came by to get my bag and my homework."

"How did you get out? I was told you were going to stay in there till your parents came to get you!" Diamond Tiara said.

"Young Missy, you just earned another week of detention." Miss Cheerilee said. "If I hear another word, I will double it." Diamond Tiara did not say anything and went back to writing on the board. "So how did you manage to get out, Rocky?"

"Diamond Tiara's father is not the only pony to have connections with the Royal Guard." I said with a wink.

"Well your bag is where you left it. As for homework, you don't have any for the ordeal you had to go through."

I went and put on my bag. "Thank you Miss. Cheerilee. I will see you tomorrow. Bye Diamond Tiara."

Diamond Tiara stuck her tongue at me as I left. As I closed the door, I heard Miss. Cheerilee double her detention and she was going to be speaking with her parents. Oh, sweet justice never tasted so fine. I walked up to Pinkie with a big smile on my face.

"It is nice to see you smiling Rocky. I am just wondering what caused it?" Pinkie said.

"Let's just say karma just dealt a blow to Diamond Tiara. I don't think she is going to be picking on any kid for a while." I said. My stomach growls at me. "Guess it is time to feed the belly beast."

Pinkie started to laugh as we headed to Sugarcube Corner. Once inside, I headed to a table and pulled out the lunch Pinkie Pie gave me. Pinkie went behind the counter and grabbed a couple of Blaze's Chocolate Drops. I ate my lunch first so I could savor the sweet flavors of the desert. As we were eating the drops, Mrs. Cake popped out of the kitchen.

"Ah, so this is the young colt cousin you said you were going to be watching. I see he really likes our most popular seller."

Pinkie started to giggle as Mrs. Cake did not know it was really me she was talking to. "I am ma'am. My name is Rocky. I really do like this desert. I believe Pinkie called it Blaze's Chocolate Drops. I take it Swift Blaze is the creator of this?" I said.

"That he did dear. It came from his home world. I have to talk with him sometime to see if he has another treat that he thinks ponies would like. Oh and you can just call me Mrs. Cake." Pinkie is starting to laugh even harder now. "What is so funny Pinkie Pie?"

"I think she is just recalling a rock joke I told her and is now getting it." That really caused Pinkie to laugh even more. "Thank you for the treat. I need to go as I have a sleepover with some new friends I have made."

"Then how about you take a baker's dozen of cupcakes too? It is on the house."

"Thank you very much."

Mrs. Cake boxed up the cupcakes and placed them on my back. I said goodbye to her and to Pinkie Pie. I'm off to the sleepover. Oh I do wish nothing bad happens.
