Chapter 61: Gilda's Revenge (Episode 4)

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Hello every pony and welcome to the intro!

Trixie: *mutters* Well those of you that watch it anyway...

Shut it Trixie. Anyway, here with us today is the Griffon of the hour! GILDA!

Gilda: What are you two, some kinda retro ring announcers? *she asked as she came into view*

Trixie: Ring announcers?! What are you to call the Great and Powerful Trixie, your successor as an antagonist towards Twilight and her friends, a simple minded ring announcer?!

Gilda: What do you mean 'successor'?! I was ten times as better than a nerdling like you when I was the villain!

Trixie: That so? Then tell me Ms. 80's Reject, how come I was permitted a comeback while you wallowed away? Never to be spoken of again?!

Gilda: Say that again, you Magician Wannabe!

Trixie: Trixie insists after you, Wizard of Oz Loser!

Gilda: Third Person Talkin', Insane Asylum Patient!

Trixie: Out of Style, Smack Talking, Waste of Feathers!

OH, BURN! *I yelled out, sitting in a bean bag chair with a bucket of popcorn*

Trixie: *Smirks towards Gilda* Ha! It appears that Trixie's silver tongue has bested yet another foal!

Gilda: Will see about that after I- *mouth is zipped up with a zipper by me, using my author powers*

Okay, let's not waste an entire intro with you two bickering. Again. Let's just see what every pony thinks of Gilda's town.

*Gilda rips the zipper off, but stays quiet anyway*

3: dazza the lucario. Oh come on dude! You can't just do something like that hap- *Before I could even finish that sentence, a statue made of Lucario, which is made out of nothing but silver, drops down an lands right next to the statue of Stepony*

Trixie: How did he even do that?!

I don't know!... And suddenly, a million dollars fell from the sky!... *nothing happens* Really?! Why can't something go my way at least once?!

Gilda: Oh shut up you third-rate introducer! *Trixie then fires a magical beam at her, hitting her and making her slide across the room. Though, it didn't hurt much*

Thank you Trixie. That was actually very kind of you... In a way.

Trixie: Think nothing of it. Anything to get a free hit on her. Anyway, next top comment!

2: PrinceBlackFire116.

Trixie: We tried that, but Dino kept eating the monocle. So instead, we taught him how to put one of his fingers up to his chin and say random questions. Like his father, Philosoraptor.

Dino: *taps chin in thought* If it's called pizza pie, then does that make it a dessert?

Yeah, he's not as good as his father but hey! He's still learning! Plus... His father's kinda busy at the moment coming up with thoughts himself. Anyway though, final comment!

1: Swift Lightning. Yeah I know, bringing in Gilda was pretty obvious. But how could I try and bring her in without it coming out of nowhere?! I mean, she sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the other characters!

Gilda: HEY!

I mean, she's the only griffon we've seen, besides the ONE other griffon on the train cake mystery episode. So yeah, dead giveaway. How could I have brought her in?!

And also, since you and a few others asked... Okay! Trixie, if you'd please!

Trixie: I know. I know. *she then uses her magic to bring in Pinkie Pie, who had a ton of party stuff including her wagon, party cannon, trombone, thirty other instruments, cake, and the rest of the mane six, Spike, and Blitz*

Pinkie: Hello every pony! Who's ready to party?!

*All of us cheer as she fires her party cannon. Making a jukebox, buffet table, streamers and other party decorations, and Gummy fly out and land perfectly*

Alright! Party time! Now while we bust out this party, we'll let you all get to the chapter! *Sees Gilda just glaring at everything* Gilda? You can go back home now.

Gilda: Oh no! I ain't leaving till Trickie here learns not to mess with me!

Trixie: Oh, now you have angered Trixie for the last time! Dino! Escort this simple-minded fool out of the intro!

*Dino then comes and bites down on Gilda's tail, dragging her away*

Gilda: Hey! Let go ya billion year old lizard! You two lame-os haven't heard the last of me!

Trixie: Well that was annoying. I mean, how big can pony's egos get anyway?

Maybe if you looked in a mirror, you'd find out... *I mumbled, Trixie not able to hear me. I then went back to the party.*

Trixie: Oh well, enjoy the chapter every pony!

Rainbow Dash's POV

"GILDA" We all yelled out in utter shock, surprised to see her of all griffons here.

But while most of them were just shocked, I just glared at her. Still not over what all she did back in Ponyville. I mean, yelling at Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, insulting my friends, and expecting me to just ditch my friends and follow her. When it all happened, I didn't want to accept it.

I mean when she stormed out of the welcome party Pinkie set up, I thought that she was in a bad mood or something, then she would come back later and apologize to us all. But after like a half hour of expecting her to come back and apologize, I thought I went a little too far with yelling at her. That is until Pinkie Pie filled me in on everything Gilda did behind my back!

I knew then that she had changed, and that she couldn't be my friend anymore. So I decided to just leave her be instead of going after her to make her even more mad at me and my friends.

"What are you dweebs doing here?!" She asked, just as caught off guard to see us as we were to see her.

"We came here because one of our friends invited us!" I defended, stepping up and in front of my friends. "What are you doing here?!"

"Like I have to tell you Rainbow Crash!" She insulted. Of course she would use a name like that. She of all ponies knew just how much I hated being called that in Junior Speedster Flight Camp.

"So you're the griffon?" We all turned around to see Blitz walking up. I guess he didn't really much of what we said. Except for the first part, I'm sure.

"Yeah? What's it to you?!" Gilda asked him, glaring intensely. Even though it didn't faze him.

"Well, I came here cause the Ponyville Construction Crew got an order for a cloud house. You're the one who asked right?" He asked, walking up next to us all.

"Wait a second, so Ponyville builders are what those slow builders sent my order too?! ERR... Those bunch a con-ponies are getting a piece a my mind!" She yelled out.

But after taking a deep breath, she just went back to glaring at him. "So where's the rest of the builders supposed to be?" She asked, knowing that there was no way she could just say no. Because that meant no house! Ha! That's what you get for being a jerk Gilda!

"Actually, I'm the only one that could come. I'll be building your house." He answered.

"WHAT?! But they said that there would be seven ponies coming to build me the most wicked house ever!" She said in anger. "What happened to them?!"

"Wicked?..." He mumbled to himself, confused as to how some pony still used that word on purpose.

Still, he just shook his head a little and spoke up. "Their behind schedule, so only I could come. But it's more than enough. So the other six tickets I just gave to my friends." He said jerking his head towards us, which were just standing in a group. Going back and forth as each of them spoke.

"Ya gotta be Joshing me! You're friends with these dweebs?!" She asked, only getting angrier.

He then mouthed, 'Joshing...Dweebs...What the...' before shaking his head. Guess he never heard of those words before. Then he went back to frowning. "Yeah I'm their friend. What of it?" He said, now defending us as well. Guess he figured out pretty quickly just what was going on.

"What of it?! That makes you a dweeb too!" She insulted.

Closing his eyes and taking in a quick breath, he kept his cool. "Alright whatever. If it helps any, I'm the one building your house. Not them. So leave them outta this." He told her.

"Or else what?!" Gilda challenged, stepping up and looking down at him since she was taller.

He then flew just a little higher, making him look down at her. "Or else you can survive by sleeping on a welcome mat while you wait for Broncolyn Construction Crew to build your house." He said calmly. Yeah, you tell her Blitz!

She growled at him, but seeing as how he wasn't standing down, not to mention that he was right, she backed down instead. "Alright fine! Just don't make my house look like garbage!" She said, storming off.

"Well she was friendly." He said sarcastically as he landed back down on the ground. "What's with her?" He asked us.

"Gilda was an old friend of mine. Until she acted rude to all of us and the rest of Ponyville." I explained to him with a frown.

"Yeah! Gilda was acting like a Meanie Mc Mean Pants!" Pinkie added.

"Well this is just great. I have to make a house for a jerk that talks as if she was from an eighty's surfer movie." He said with a frown. And if that wasn't so bad, I would've laughed my head off.

"Can't you just say no? I mean, it's not like you're being forced to right?" Twilight asked, making a good point.

"Sadly, no. By coming here, we already took the offer. We meaning me. And with that, I was given enough money to buy all the materials, and not to mention my pay. So, I can't back out of this now." He told us.

"So you were lyin' when ya said that ya wouldn't build her house?" Applejack asked.

"Well yeah, that was a bluff. But at least she won't be bothering you guys while I build her house. Speaking of, before she finishes throwing her tantrum, you all might want to go." He warned us all.

"Are you sure about that Blitz? We wouldn't mind getting an evil eye from Gilda if it meant keeping you from being bossed around by her." Rarity said, speaking for all of us.

"I'll be fine. Besides, I've survived being bossed around by worse people..." He said, remembering something from being a human.

"Well alright. But if you need any help dealing with her, we'll be glad to stand by you. Good luck." Twilight said, starting to go away. The others following, even though all of them were a little hesitant.

But knowing just what Gilda was capable of, I wasn't leaving any of my friends to be insulted by her alone. "I'm staying. Gilda's not going easy on you."

"Me too!" Me and Blitz turned around to see Pinkie Pie right behind us, smiling greatly. "Gilda is one tough cookie! And I should know! Usually, cookies are very friendly and nice! But some cookies are stale and mean! You always gotta look out for those kinds of cookies!" She warned Blitz, looking serious about that.

Before any of us could say much of anything else, we were all stopped when an oddly cut tree stump landed in front of us. The roots still having dirt that flew at us.

"That should do it." Gilda said, landing on the other side of the stump. And when she saw that me and Pinkie were still here, she glared. "What do you two want?!"

"Nothing. We're just here to help our friend Blitz build your house!" I defended.

"Like I'm letting you two newbs try to build my house! It'd probably look just as trashy as yours!" She said, pointing at me.

"What do you mean by that?!" I challenged, getting mad.

"I mean-"

"AHEM!" Before Gilda could say anything else, Blitz cleared his throat to get our attention. "Remember the deal Gilda." He said with a serious frown.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. No hurtin your friends 'feelings' or else you won't build my house!" She said with a mocking voice. She then went wide-eyed as she realized something. "Wait a second, I just thought a something! You can't back outta this! I already paid you!"

"Dang..." I heard Blitz mutter to himself, mad that she figured it out. "Alright you figured it out. Still, most of my friends are already enjoying themselves in Broncolyn. And don't think I'll let you just insult Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash here either." He told her, me just smirking in agreement.

"Oh don't worry. I won't be annoying any of your friends. But I can't say the same about my friends!" She then put her talons to her mouth and whistled loudly, making three other griffons fly over and look at Gilda.

"Hey guys! There's a few new dweebs walking around Broncolyn from Ponyville! Give em the old griffon welcome would ya?!" She asked with a smirk.

The first one with grey feathers, along with a few feathers drooping over his eyes, chuckled a little. "Ah sweet! Some fresh meat ta meet!" He then laughed at his play on words before taking off to look for our friends.

"Some new lame-brains ta mess with huh?" The only girl of the three griffons Gilda called for asked, the tips of her feather dyed green and were in a ponytail somehow. "Wicked." She then took off.

"Whatever." The last one said with next to no emotion, his feathers looking normal. Brown just like Gilda. He then flew off too.

"Err..." I growled a little, mad that Gilda was about to send her friends to mess with mine. "Hey Pinkie Pie? Think you could warn the others about them?"

"Okey-Dokey-Lokey!" Pinkie said, bouncing off.

"Wait a minute, you can't just tell her to leave!" Gilda challenged.

"I've said it once, I'll say it again. I'm the one building the house. Not my friends." Blitz repeated.

"Fine." Gilda said, suddenly 'not caring'. "Let's just get started then." She said.

"Great. Now where's the blueprints? The form said you had some ready." Blitz said.

"Yeah! I got the gnarliest blueprints ever!" She boasted. She then pointed to her head. "Right here." She said, meaning that she had the idea in her head.

Blitz then dropped his face onto the tree stump. Getting annoyed already. "What?" Gilda asked. "Why did you think I brought the stump?" She asked him.

He then opened his satchel with his right-wing, getting out a paper and handing it to me. "Rainbow Dash, could you go to the Cloud Depot that's floating somewhere above Broncolyn and give them this list? It's all the materials I'm gonna need." He told me.

"Got it. Good luck." I told him, flying off to find the Cloud Depot.

"Thanks... Something tells me I'm gonna need it..." He said, getting out some more paper, pencil, and some tools for making blueprints. Getting ready to try and design Gilda's idea for a home.


Rarity's POV

"EEEEEEEEEE!" I squealed in delight as I set my eyes upon the most beautiful dress I've ever seen! Well, that wasn't made by me of course. I can't simply say that one designer's outfits are better than mine. That would make me appear as if I felt weary of my work! And a good designer should never doubt her masterpiece!

Still, that doesn't mean I can't try them on does it?

So going into the shop, I asked for the outfits and went into the changing rooms to try them on. And trying them on, I was right! They were so beautiful on me! And even though it wasn't a design of my own, I just had to have it!

"Excuse me madame, but I would like to purchase..." But as I approached the counter, instead of the previous pony sitting there, I instead met a griffon with green highlights at the ends of her feathers.

"Hi there! May I help you?" She asked politely with a smile.

"I'm sorry, but she had to leave. Why? THERE A PROBLEM?!" She yelled out of no where. Acting as if I had insulted her harshly.

"W-why no! No problem at all! I was just a little confused is all! I'm sorry if I came off as rude." I said, not wanting to make her angry.

"Oh, well in that case it's fine." She said, suddenly friendly again. Although I just ignored it and regained my composure.

"Oh thank Celestia. For a second I thought I came off as rude." I said with a smile. "Now, I was just coming to purchase a few outfits."

"What? DO I LOOK LIKE A CLERK TO YOU?!" She asked, yelling at me once again out of no where.

"N-no! Well... A-aren't you behind the counter?!" I asked, both extremely confused and extremely terrified.

"Oh yeah! I guess I am!" She said, suddenly smiling again. "So how many do you want to buy?"

Not wanting her to get angry at me a third time, I tried to act as calm and polite as possible. "Just these few, if that is alright with you. I don't want to be a bother much longer, so I promise to be quick mam." I said as politely as I could.

"SO THAT'S IT HUH?! YOU WANT TO JUST RUN AWAY FROM ME AS FAST AS POSSIBLE?! WHAT, AM I TOO UNAPPROACHABLE?!" She asked, yelling straight into my face.

"No, I didn't mean that at all!" I said, but she just kept glaring.

"YEAH! IT WAS! NOW GET OUT! YOU AREN'T GETTING A HAT OUTTA THIS STORE!" She kept yelling.

"But-but this is the best boutique Broncolyn has to offer!" I started. But as I said that, she jumped over the counter and grabbed my tail. Dragging me out.

"DON'T CARE! YOU ARE HEARBY BANNED! NOW..." She then pushed the door wide open and held me in the air. "OUT!"

I was then literally thrown out of the store and outside into a puddle. Then she just slammed the door, not allowing me in any longer.

Stunned by these sudden turn of events, I slowly started to get up. But as I did, I realized that this puddle wasn't water. Or even mud for that matter. It was... Syrup?

"Ewww!..." I stated, taking out a cloth and trying to get it out of my mane. But when the cloth just got stuck in my mane, I started to tear up. Seeing as how my coat, mane, and even tail were covered in it.

Turning to give the griffon that threw me out a stern lecture about customer service, I saw that she was inside 'dying' of laughter as she rolled around on the ground.

My jaw dropped at the sight of this. What had I done to her?! I had done nothing wrong! I didn't even know her! And yet... She ruined my mane without as much as a single thought!

"Rarity!" I turned towards the right to see Pinkie Pie coming towards me. But since I had no reason to sit in a puddle of syrup outside a store I was just thrown out of, I met her halfway.

"Oh no! Did one of Gilda's friends get you?!" She asked me, seeing the condition I was in.

"One of Gilda's friends?" I asked, seeing how perfectly it all fit and just why it happened. "Oh, this is just terrible! One of the worst things that could ever have happened! My mane is now covered in icky syrup thanks to that fiends friend! Why, this could most possibly be. THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!" I yelled out, completely devastated about my mane being ruined with syrup. This will take all day to rinse out!

"Actually, that's number five on the list." Pinkie said with some reading glasses and a visor, while she was holding what I assumed was a list. But what four things could be worse than my mane?!

"Right now," She said, the glasses, visor, and list all sent flying somewhere ales as she got serious. "need to try to help the others before they get pranked too! Because their pranks aren't nice or funny at all! They're all mean and nasty!" Pinkie said, making me get just what was going on.

Realizing just how bad this all was, not to mention how my mane was a minor problem right now, I nodded. "You are right Pinkie Pie! We mustn't let our friends get treated horribly! Now let's hurry! I heard Fluttershy say something about going to the park!" I said, leading the way, Pinkie running right besides me. We can't let her get punished like I did. Because if it's just as bad or even worse, than Fluttershy might not be able to take it!


Fluttershy's POV

As I walked through the local park, I was able to hear the sound of birds chirping happily, fish swimming around in the small little pond that was in the middle of the park, and see the cute little bunnies and squirrelies go from burrow to burrow and tree to tree. It was all so lovely and relaxing, I almost felt like singing.

But of course, I didn't want to bother any of the ponies in the park. And I didn't want to have a repeat of what happened at the Gala when I got too excited. Oh, I wish I could say sorry to all the little critters of the royal garden.

Still though, this park was very nice. It almost felt like I was in the meadow that was just a minute or two from my home. Especially the flora of it all. It was so breath-taking that I couldn't look away.

"Oof." When I felt myself bump into something, I looked forward to see a frowning griffon on the ground in front of me.

"Oh my! I'm very sorry about that. I didn't mean to bump into you." I apologized to him as he got up, feeling like such a fool for possibly hurting someone. I feel like such a klutz right now.

"No..." He sighed as he blew one of his feathers out of his eyes. "It's fine. Besides, it's not like I was drawing anything important anyway..." He said, picking up a sketch pad and pencil.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mess it up. Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked, not wanting to just leave after ruining his picture.

"Hmm..." He hummed in thought as he looked at me. "Well, do you think maybe I can draw you instead? It'd be better than drawing some trees." He said.

"Oh! Um, I'm flattered and all but... I don't really like modeling all that much..." I said, remembering back to the whole incident with Photo Finish.

"Well, you did say anything to help." He reminded me.

"Oh right... I did say that. Well, I guess it won't be so bad. There won't be any pony else looking at me will there?" I asked, not wanting to be watched by a crowd of ponies.

"No, just me." He assured with a shake of his head.

"Alright, I guess so." I said. "So, what should I do?" I asked, not wanting to mess up.

"Just sit there. You don't have to smile or anything like that. Just sit." He said, flipping to a new page.

So I just patiently sat in place, not really sure how long this would take. I mean, I was happy that I could make it up to the griffon for bumping into him, but I didn't want to take so long that I would keep my friends waiting.

But after just two more minutes of sitting, he stopped drawing and looked up. "Alright. I'm done." He told me with no expression on his face.

"Did I mess up? I'm sorry." I apologized, not wanting to make a mess of things.

"No, I mean I finished." He then tossed the sketch pad of to the side a few feet from where I was. "Go ahead and look. The light it's under will help." He told me, explaining just why he tossed the sketch pad over where it was.

I went over and looked at it. Amazed by just how life-liked it looked. It was great. The only thing about it which confused me was, in the picture I was drenched with something. Something that came from above me.

So wondering just why it was drawn like that, I looked up to see just what made him draw it like that. Only, I saw just why he drew it like that right away. Because as I looked up, a balloon the size of a foal was hanging above me by a little string.

I went wide-eyed and turned to get out of the way, but it was too late as the string snapped. Making the foal sized balloon drop onto me. Popping and making a weird sticky liquid fall on me. And smelling it, I found out that it was paint. Green paint.

That's when every pony in the park looked towards me, laughing at me. I couldn't stand all of them laughing at what had happened and started tearing up.

"Fluttershy darling, are you alright?!" Before I started crying though, I saw Pinkie and Rarity coming over to me. Rarity covered in syrup.

"Yeah, but... I was helping this griffon with his drawing... And I got covered in paint..." I said, trying not to cry. All of them laughing at me was so much. I didn't like the attention, and on top of that, I was a laughing stalk to all of them now.

"Don't worry Fluttershy. It'll be fine. Some of Gilda's friends are pulling horrid pranks on us all. We need to stay calm and find the others." Rarity told me with a sincere look.

"Gilda's friends?... Oh, I'm scared of Gilda. I don't know if I can really help stop her..." I said, not forgetting the last time I met Gilda. She was really mean to me. Though, it was kind of my fault for bumping into her.

"Well right now, we only need to find the others before they get pranked harshly. Could you possibly know where Applejack or Twilight could have gone?" Rarity asked me, trying to find our friends before the griffons did.

"Well... I think I remember Twilight saying something about going to the bookstore not too far from here." I said, wiping the paint off of my face.

"Well let's try to save her then! There isn't a moment to lose!" Rarity said to us. Then, the three of us went off to the bookstore. Hoping to get to Twilight before another griffon. Oh, I hope it'll all be okay in the end.


And so concludes the second part! Gilda's friends are real jerks to be honest. I hope we don't see them anywhere in the intro.

Trixie: Don't jinx it!

Hey, what are you doing in the outro?! This is a sign off, not a skit!

Anyway, we hope you all are liking this episode so far! And we will see you for the final part of it tomorrow! Bye for now!

QotC: How do you think Gilda's house is gonna turn out? What will it look like?
