Chapter 62: The Right Solution (Episode 4)

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Trixie: Hello every pony, and welcome to Trixie and Zeke's Intro!

Wait a second, I thought we agreed on Zeke and Trixie's Intro!

Trixie: We did? Well if that is the case, then why does this banner say otherwise? *She then levitated up a banner that says 'Trixie and Zeke's Intro' in bold letters. She then hung it up directly above us*

When did we get that?! I don't remember ordering that!

Trixie: Well when you were feeding Dino, Trixie took the liberty of ordering a banner to make the intro a little more appealing! Do not worry though, everything else on the banner is perfectly equal!

Wait, is your name bigger than mine?!

Trixie: Okay well, maybe one thing... It doesn't matter really!

Oh, well if it isn't that much to argue about, then I'll make it a little even. *Snaps fingers, making the banners with Trixie's Cutie Mark burn up, leaving no trace*

Trixie: Well that was just uncalled for!

'It doesn't matter really!' *I said, mimicking Trixie's voice* Anyway, let's bring in our guest star! TWILIGHT!

Twilight: Hi Zeke, nice to see the intro's a little neater then befo- Oh hey Trixie! I didn't know that there would be two guests this intro!

Trixie: Two guests?! I'm not a guest, I'm a co-commentator! *Meanwhile, I am rolling on the ground in laughter*

Trixie: Shush you! Anyway, let's just finish this up with the top comments before Trixie is insulted even more...

3: Sunblast X. That would actually look pretty cool! I can almost imagine that happening. Except, it would be bigger and have flames instead of rainbows. And you know, basically become nightmare fuel for any pony that sees it.

Twilight: Actually, I think Rainbow Dash was thinking of doing that for Nightmare Night last year. But after a while, she got lazy and forgot about the idea.

Well... Can't say I'm surprised actually. Next comment!

2: PrinceBlackFire116. Don't worry, I see what you're hinting at!

Trixie: You do?

Yeah, and don't worry! It'll come in due time. I just need to find the right place to incorporate it. But it's just not possible to incorporate it since the episode's taking place in a different city. But to make up for it, simply wait for episode six! You won't be disappointed! Now, onto the last comment!

1: whovian803.

Trixie: AMEN Whovian! *After seeing me and Twilight frowning at her, she shrugged* What?! Tell Trixie that she isn't the only one that agrees with him!

Out of the four of us here, that including Dino, you are the only one who agrees to that one-hundred percent.

Twilight: Yeah Trixie, that wasn't very nice.

Trixie: Nice?! Did you hear the insults that feather-brain threw at Trixie?! She's still sending nasty texts to Trixie's phone too! *She said, levitating an iPhone out from under her hat, the cover decorated in her coat color and Cutie Mark*

*facepalm* Why did I give her that iPhone?

Trixie: You said that you wanted to see Trixie defeat these foolish pigs with birds. Speaking of, HOW CAN THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE BEAT THIS LEVEL WITHOUT AT LEAST ONE LAST BIRD?!

*I turn to Twilight and shrug before she clears her throat and speaks up*

Twilight: Well with all that said and done, I say we start up the chapter! Zeke?!

Don't have to tell me twice Twilight! Goodbye every pony, and we will see you all in the next chapter intro!

Intro Area Decorations to Date: A very realistic sky with a sun in the middle, A baby pony-sized T-Rex with a top hat named Dino, wires all around the floor, scorch markings on the floor that spell out 'Blitz Waz Herez', the TARTIS, a giant golden statue of Stepony (Pony Stephano) who is wearing a Trixie shirt, a chalkboard with names of most the main characters that have tallies under each of them (Rarity having the most), cracks on the ground as well as in the wall, a banner that says 'Trixie and Zeke's Intro' directly overhead, a Trixie shaped imprint on the wall.

Disclaimer (As told by Trixie): Zeke does not own MLP. All he owns is this idea, Blitz, Dino, RJ, Jumpy, and anything else that he's personally created throughout the story. That not including the three background characters that belong to three of the readers that read this story!


Twilight's POV

Ah, the bookstore! Almost the holy grail of this city. Well, next to that bridge leading into the town that is.

Still, there was always something about bookstores that I loved! Even more than my own library, or Canterlot Library for that matter! It was that I could get any book I wanted, and purchase it to keep! And since bookstores had so many books that I didn't own myself, it led to new opportunities!

So, looking through every shelf there was, I saw every book organized by topic, and then further organized by alphabet! Seeing all the simple yet fantastic organization, I tried very hard to kept myself from getting too excited! I mean, how could you not be excited by a bookstore?! It was so wonderful!

"Let's see, where to start..." I said, pacing myself. Well, obviously I had to look for any classic stories from long ago, as well as any history books I didn't already own. Those were more important than any other topic already.

So going straight to the shelf that contained history books, I started to look for any book that I didn't yet own. And once I spotted some books I've never seen before, I took them out and started to pile them next to me. Yes, some of those might've been a little torn up, and some might just be books that had a different cover, but I would sort them out further after getting them. It was a personal process that I liked going through for buying books.

"And... Alright. That's gotta be about thirty books out of all the history section. Small amount, but that's fine." I said, congratulating myself. This was probably one of the reasons Spike didn't want to come with all of us. That, and of course Broncolyn's gems were very expensive. Not because of how they looked or their size, but the lack of gems.

Broncolyn's gem mines were tapped out a long time ago. So now it was just a nice place to visit a vacation or something. Beautiful for sight-seeing or trying one of their famous restaurants like a place called 'Grainmaldi's Pizza'. But of course, that wasn't enough to convince Spike. I was even willing to pay for his ticket, but he still wasn't tempted to go.

"Oh well, guess I'll be the only one that gets to enjoy these books." I said, giggling at the anticipation at it all.

But saying that to myself made me remember just where I was, or why I was here. Books. So turning towards my pile of books, I got ready to pick the top one up when I realized...

All the books were gone.

"That's odd... I knew I put all the books right there..." I looked around for any signs of them, or for any pony that might've taken them thinking that they were misplaced. But I couldn't see any pony. Though, I couldn't help but hear... snickering?

Oh well, I guess it's fine. I mean, they couldn't have gone too far anyway right? So knowing that whoever took them would put at least most of them back eventually, I continued on to find another book topic. Hopefully one that I wouldn't misplace.

And luckily for me, I was able to find the next best topic. Magic. Books on magical spells, potions, and even about ingredients that have different effects and reactions. And the best part was!... I only had a few of the books that were organized on this entire shelf!

I tried holding in a squeal, again not wanting to disturb any of the other ponies inside the library. Still though, I couldn't believe how big a selection there was to choose from! To bad my saddle bags I brought only had enough room for about seven books. Depending on how many pages each book had.

"Excuse me mam." I heard a slightly deep stallion's voice call out as I felt a hoof tap me on the shoulder from behind.

"Hm?" I asked, turning around. But when I did, I saw no pony there. "Hello? Some pony need something?" I asked, looking around. And while I did, I felt a blast of wind come from behind me.

"What?!" I asked as I was shocked, turning back around to face where the wind came from. In between me and the bookshelf filled with magical books.

But when I saw the book-case, my jaw dropped in even more shock. Because on every single book from both the top and bottom shelf was a line of freshly coated purple paint going from one side to the other.

"Excuse me miss, but what seems to be the problem?" A unicorn, who I'm guessing is the clerk of the bookstore, asked as she came up behind me. But when she saw all the spines of the books covered in purple paint, she glared. "Do you think all of these books are your own personal canvass?!" She asked, thinking I did it.

"What?! No! I didn't do that at all!" I told her, not knowing how that got there.

"Uh-huh. Then tell me, why is the paint the same color as you? And how come all those books on the far wall are glued down? In a pattern that resembles your Cutie Mark?" She asked, gesturing towards the wall behind the bookshelf.

I looked above the shelf and just as she said, there were all thirty of those books that had disappeared. And they were somehow glued to the wall in the shape of a star. And more specifically, in the shape of my Cutie Mark!

"I-I-I have no idea! Honest!" I told her, not knowing what was going on at all!

"Likely story! Get out!" She told me, pointing to the doorway.

"But-"

"Out!" She then focused her magic on my saddlebags, dragging me out of the store and out into the street.

"I don't understand..." I said to myself, trying to figure it all out. "I didn't do anything. So who did it?" I pondered to myself.

"Twilight! Twilight, are you okay?!" I turned towards the left as I saw Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy running over to me. Rarity looking like she as covered in some kind of sticky substance, and Fluttershy covered in green paint.

"Yes, I'm fine. But what happened to all of you?" I asked, getting up off the ground.

"It was just terrible! I tried to purchase some outfits, when suddenly one of Gilda's friends caught me off guard and threw me into a puddle of syrup! Ruining me precious mane!" Rarity told me, completely devastated by that fact.

"And I met one of Gilda's friends too, but I got tricked and covered in paint." She said with a sniffle. "Every pony laughed at me..."

That made me think back to what just happened. My books disappearing, some pony asking for my attention then 'vanishing', and the books all being painted and glued down. Throughout all of that, I never thought of looking up! It made sense then. If one of Gilda's friends were behind it, they could just fly out of sight.

After piecing it all together, we heard laughing come from above us. We all looked up, only to see a griffon with the feathers on his head drooping down over his eyes laughing at us!

"So it was you!" I said, getting angry at him just with the fact of him laughing at us. We had all gotten 'pranked' by Gilda's friends, and I was furious as to why! Revenge!

"Yeah it was! And it was hilarious! That little librarian always catches me! But this time, I was just able to put the blame on you!" He said, smirking towards me.

"Why though?! Why would you do all of this?!" I asked, glaring at him.

"Because after Gilda explained how you all humiliated her, we decided to help her get back at all of you!" He said flying off and landing a little ways down the street from us. "So yeah! Welcome to Broncolyn!" He then put his talons to his mouth and whistled loudly, a pony pulling a taxi appearing from around the corner and was pulled very quickly towards him. While it passed us, it ended up splashing me and Pinkie in a puddle of murky water.

He then just laughed at us as he got on and rode off back to where we all came to find Gilda in the first place.

"This isn't good. If these are pranks for us, then just imagine what they have in store for Rainbow Dash! We need to find AJ and get to Gilda's house right away!" I told them, shaking the water off of my mane.

"But Broncolyn's huge with roads, shops, and ponies. However are we going to find Applejack?" Rarity asked.

"There she is!" Pinkie yelled out, pointing to the other side of the street where we saw Applejack frowning on the side of the road. No hat, no lasso, not even the bands that went on her mane or tail!

"Applejack!" We all called out, crossing the street to get to her.

"Woah! What in tarnation happened ta y'all?!" She asked, jumping up in shock at what we all looked like.

"Well when you all left, me and Dashie stayed to help Blitz with Gilda! But she sent three meanies to pick on all of you! So I ran as fast as I could, stopped to order myself a cookie from a vendor, than found Rarity in a syrup puddle! Next, we found Fluttershy covered in green paint! That's when I also found a pond that Gummy's family was living in and gave them the letter Gummy told me to give to them! After that, found Twilight outside the bookstore after being kicked out! Met one of the griffons that had been pranking us rudely, and here we are!" Pinkie said faster than we could really keep up.

"What a second now. Gilda had some a her friends come and do all this to us?!" Applejack asked, getting up.

"All of us!" Rarity answered with a nod, pulling out a few mane bands that were in her pocket and levitating them over to Applejack, who put them on her man and tail. "And now that we are all dealt with, they are most likely going to go after Rainbow Dash next!" Rarity said.

"We can't let that happen! We gotta stop them no good griffons 'fore they get Dash too!" She said, now just as determined as the rest of us to stop them before they got to Rainbow Dash. "Let's high-tail it over there every pony!" She said, running ahead.

We all followed as well, running back to where we all found Gilda. Where Blitz was still there, trying to work on Gilda's house. Which reminds me, I wonder how he's doing...


Blitz's POV

"You're kidding right? If you want me to try to build your house like this, it'll just look like a giant floating sphere!" I argued, showing her the print of her house.

She wanted the main room, which was basically a living room, in the very center of the room. Then her bedroom directly above that room, her kitchen and storage room on the right side. An indoor swimming pool, which is impossible for a cloud house to even have I might add, to the left of that room. Then she wanted a workout room directly under the main room. Next, behind the main room, she just wanted an extra room in case she wanted anything else.

Finally, she wanted a big entrance that led into the main room. This making the giant sphere have a floating entrance as well.

"That's not the way I see it! You must be some pin-head if you think that's what I want!" She said, yelling at me.

"You want a room surrounded by other rooms! That means that there's a room in the middle! So with a middle room and rooms on every side, it's going to make a definite shape of either a giant block, or a giant sphere!" I told her. "Also one other thing! It's not possible to put a swimming pool in a cloud house! Under?! Yes! Inside?! No! Not unless it's made of rainbows!"

The foundations of a cloud house worked like this. They are perfectly fine, and can not fall apart or move around when it's finished. The only thing that can effect a cloud house foundation, is a special cloud jack-hammer, or water. Water resistant clouds, are very expensive and are weaker than a foundation cloud. So it's mainly used as tarps for foundation, or for only those that could afford it.

Rainbow's are the only liquid that can touch foundation without it falling apart or getting so dense that they'd fall to the ground and break. But of course, Gilda wouldn't want rainbows in her house because she thought that they were for weaklings and dweebs.

"Okay then! Change the swimming pool!" She finally gave up, figuring out quickly that intimidating me to get her way wasn't going to work. "What can you do then?!" She asked.

"Well, if you want one so badly then you could get a cloud pool instead. You'd just have to get the clouds yourself." I reasoned. "If you're fine with that, then I can probably just use some foundation for a patio to go with it." I leveled out.

"Patio huh?..." She said to herself, trying to figure that out. After a little more thought, she looked neutral about it. "Fine, I guess that'd be cool enough. Just don't dork it up." She warned. But I didn't care about that. It'd be just fine.

"Good. And with that... I think I might be able to do something. Give me a few minutes." I said, crumbling up the last blueprint and pulling out a new one to start on. I had a list of notes with me, so since I had everything I needed I just kept my head down as I worked on the prints. Wanting to finish them as best I could.

And as I started drawing the plans for it, I heard a few others land a little ways away. I didn't look up as I worked, but I heard them. It was the same three voices of Gilda's friends.

"Hey Gild's! We got em, just like you said!" I heard the girl of the three tell her with some excitement. "First I got threw the 'refined' one into a syrup puddle! And you should've seen what I did to the Earth Pony! I conned her out of everything she had! Down to the bands on her tail and mane! I even got her hat!" She continued to gloat.

As she said that, I finished drawing out the patio and main room. As well as the bonus room. Next I started drawing up the entrance and kitchen area.

"I got you beat there Vivian! I pulled this whole ghost thing with the purple unicorn one! I even got her kicked out of the bookstore she was in! And get this! She's a total nerd!" One of the male griffons said, laughing about it.

"What about you Clive?" The same guy asked.

"Well I just tricked the pegasus one into walking under a paint filled balloon." Clive answered, not really happy about it. "I still don't get why we had to do all this. I mean, they didn't do anything to us." He said, sounding a little sad about pulling the prank on them. Guess he didn't really want to.

"Hey! Don't be getting all wimpy on us dude! Pranking them was hilarious!" He defended.

"Maybe for you Egil, but not so much for me. I even wasted a nearly bran new sketch pad." He said.

"Doesn't matter!" Gilda told them. "As long as they learn not to try to make me a laughing stalk again, then it's fine. Still, we have one more pony to teach a lesson too!"

That's when I finished the entrance and kitchen area, having added a storage room and dining area too, with a doorway that led into the room. Making it easy enough to get there from the main room. Next, I worked on the final part of it all. Gilda's room and the workout room. Which I went ahead and took the liberty of putting on the second floor instead of under most of the house.

"Yeah! That rainbow one right?!" Egil asked, getting excited. "What are we gonna do to her?!" He asked.

"Oh, you'll see! I already got it set up! We just gotta wait for her to get back." Gilda said. And I didn't have to look up to see that she was smirking in victory. Too bad for her, I already knew what her plan was. All I had to do was think of a way to have her avoid it.

"Blitz!" As I finished the second floor and just went over all the plans to make any few adjustments, I heard all my friends call out my name.

After I they got close enough, they came to a halt and Twilight spoke up. "Blitz, where'd Rainbow Dash go! We need to keep her from-"

"From 'ettin' 'ranked, I no." I said through the pencil that was in my mouth, doing one final check of the prints before setting my pencil down. Then I turned around and looked at all of them, only a little surprised from what they all looked like since I heard the griffons all talking about it.

Rarity was covered in syrup, most of it being dry now because of how long it's been. Pinkie and Twilight were soaked with some dirty water that got splashed on them, leaves and mud included. Applejack had some purple bands on her tail and mane now, which had a little bit of syrup on them. This making me know that Rarity gave them to her. Finally, most of Fluttershy was covered in paint. Most of it still wet since she had been moving around.

That gave me an idea. "Hey Fluttershy? Could you paint a big 'X' on the ground for me? Bigger than the one by Gilda and them?" I asked her, having a plan.

"O-okay..." She said, going along with the plan. She then started drawing a big green 'X' on the ground just like I asked.

"Blitz, didn't you hear us?" Applejack asked, confused as to how well I was taking it. "We said that she is-"

I interrupted her though, knowing what she was gonna say. "Gonna get trapped soon I know. Just watch. She should be here any-"

"Hey Blitz!" We all looked up to see Rainbow Dash, along with some other pegasi, flying over a bunch of cloud materials that were wrapped up in a tarp. This way they could be put on the ground without them actually touching the ground a disappearing.

"Right on time! Bring the clouds on the green X! Not the blue one!" I told them, keeping them from falling for Gilda's trap.

They did just as I asked, Rainbow Dash landing in front of the pile of clouds. She then saw our friends and got shocked. "What happened?!" But she was able to figure it out quickly and glared at Gilda and the others. "Gilda..." She said angrily.

"Be careful Rainbow Dash!" Twilight warned. "They have something planned for you too!"

"No they don't." I said, making them all look at me. "She DID have something planned, but it didn't work." I told them.

"What are ya talkin' 'bout Blitz? We all heard Gilda's friend there tell us that they got somethin' planned fer Rainbow." Applejack told me.

"Yeah? Well I actually saw just what Gilda's plan was. Watch." I told them, taking the pencil I was holding. I then threw it towards the blue 'X' that was near Gilda and them, it landing right in front of their X where Rainbow Dash would've landed if they put the materials down on their X.

The ground under and around the pencil then collapsed, falling down a hole Gilda buried. We then heard the buzzing of what had to be around five decent sized bee-hives at the least.

All my friends, along with Gilda and her friends let their jaws drop to the floor from what just happened. Gilda and them because they saw that I knew their plan, and my friends because of just what the plan was.

"Gilda, I told you that I wasn't going to just let you prank my friends. Since I had to stay here, you got away with pranking most of my friends. But if you thought I would just stand around when I was actually able to save them, then you're wrong." I said, taking the blueprint off the tree stump I drew it on and putting it in my satchel. I then started walking towards them.

That's when Vivian came up and landed in front of me, getting in my way from reaching Gilda. That's when I realized that she was wearing Applejack's hat. "Hey buddy relax! Can't we just call it even?!" She tried to convince me. "Shake on it?" She asked, sticking her talon out for me to shake.

"Blitz, don't do it!" Pinkie called out to me, warning me about Vivian's plan.

But I ignored her and smirked. "Sure. I'll shake on it." I told her, extending my metal hoof since she was holding out her left talon.

As I did, she smirked in victory. But that look soon turned to confusion as she just gripped my hoof and kept shaking it. She then took her talon back and looked at it. Or more specifically, the joy buzzer that was on it. "I just got this thing! Is it busted?!" She asked herself, testing it. But to her surprise, it wasn't working at all now. Since I absorbed all the electricity from it.

"No, it worked. See?" I asked tapping her on the shoulder with my metal hoof, shocking her some of the electricity I absorbed from the joy buzzer.

When she fell to the ground in literal and theoretical shock, I then stomped my hoof to the ground, making the grass singe from the electricity that was stored up in my hoof.

I then went around her, speaking up. "That was for Rarity and Applejack." I said, taking Applejack's hat from her and throwing it like a frisbee towards Applejack. Who caught it with a grin and put it back on.

I then kept on walking, the remaining three griffons looking surprised. That was when Egil flew at me, landing right in front of me. "Hold it right there freaky! If you think that we're just gonna let you come and make fools of us, then you are just plain dumb!" But I ignored him as I just walked around him.

But he wouldn't let me as he just grabbed my Music PlayEar to stop me. Big mistake. "Hey pal, you deaf! I'm talking to you!" He said, yelling right in my ear. Another big mistake.

I simply jerked my ear towards him, making him activate it by mistake. Making it play a very loud train whistle right in his face.

After jumping away from me to get away from the loud noise in his ear, he tripped and landed on the ground. I quickly turned off my ear, not waning to hurt any pony's ear. "Did you hear that?" I asked, walking past him once again.

I stopped and turned my head towards him to say one last thing. "That was for Pinkie Pie and Twilight."

I kept on going ahead, Clive looking a little scared while Gilda was just nervous as to what I was about to do next.

But to keep me from getting any closer, Clive took out an ink well and made the ink fly out towards me, landing right in front of me to make a puddle that I would slip on.

To get past it, I just adjusted my tail so it would be dug into the ground as I walked through. This giving me an anchor that would keep me from slipping on the ink.

I then took out a small ink well of my own, having it with me just in case my pencil broke and I had to use a quill. I balanced it on my tail and then catapulted it towards Clive, making the ink pour down his back.

"That was for Fluttershy." I told him, just walking towards Gilda now, who had no pony else next to her.

And once I got over to where she was, she kept backing up until she was right in front of the pitfall she had set up for Rainbow Dash. She then gulped just a little, and spoke up. "What do you want?" She asked me, trying to act tough before waiting for me to simply push her into the bee-hive pit.

And as I rose my hoof up, she closed her eyes and got ready to fall down the hole. And after a few seconds... She was still in front of the hole, not falling.

I then laid out the plans to her house in front of her, showing her what just what it looked like. And when she saw it, she was actually amazed by the design.

It looked like a human house really, but honestly since I grew up in the human world what would you expect? It had two stories, as well as a patio that came out on the right side of the house. The patio having a deck that led to a cloud pool. Glass walls separating the patio and main room of the house. Also, the glass walls could slide open to let you come outside. This making the house look very open and welcoming towards any pony that saw it.

The rest of the house was really nice too. It had a good amount of windows in all the rooms except for the bonus room and Gilda's room of course. Those two rooms only having one or two normal windows that you could just put curtains on to keep your privacy. But with bigger windows let light come into the kitchen, workout room, and main room. This making the rooms look so much more welcoming as well.

Overall, it looked like a very welcoming place. Which was kind of ironic given that this house was for Gilda.

Still, seeing that she was amazed by what the house would look like, I went ahead and turned around to get the cloud house materials and start building her house. Of course, the three griffons that I just owned on the way over to Gilda had gotten back up and looked about ready to fight. But by then, all my friends had ran up beside me, not wanting to just sit by and let me be attacked.

Before any of us could make a move though, Gilda spoke up. "Wait a second guys." She said, calling off her friends.

"What?! But did you see what this shrimp just did to us?!" Egil asked, furious at me.

Gilda just ignored us though and flew between the two groups, holding up the plans to me and my friends. "Why did you show me this?" She asked.

"Because that's what your house is going to look like. Thought you would want to see it before I built it." I answered simply. That's when every pony just looked at me with a lot of confusion.

"Hold up." Vivian said, stepping up beside Gilda. "Even after we pranked your friends hardcore, tried to prank you too, and treated you all so rudely, you're still building the house?"

"Yeah. That's why I came here to do. And I don't back down." I told her. Me and my friends relaxing a little.

"Well that's very forgiving of you. What do you get out of that?" Clive asked, going to the opposite side of Gilda.

"It's not about getting something out of it. It's about being the bigger pony." I answered. "Just because you all act like jerks doesn't mean that I have to stoop to your level." I told them.

"Then why did you get us back for trying to prank you and your friends?" Egil asked, rubbing his ear as he joined Vivian on the same side as Gilda.

"Simple. You all attacked me first. That made it self-defense. And since I was defending myself, I went ahead and took care of two problems at once by making you learn that it was wrong to prank my friends like that." I explained.

"Don't get me wrong though, I don't like what any of you did. Nor am I going to forgive any of you that easily for doing it. But even though you did all of that, I still have a house to build." I said, walking off for the materials to get to work.

"Wait." I stopped and turned around to face Gilda, who was speaking up. "So that's it then? After all we've done, you're still building my house?" She asked.

"Yep." I said simply, unraveling the cloud materials, making them float up into the air after getting unwrapped.

"All by yourself?" She asked.

"Didn't I say that when I got here?" I asked, flying up and starting to get the pieces of foundation ready. That part had to be set up first, obviously.

After getting the first floor foundation set up, it being pretty easy since it was weightless in this form, I got out a storm cloud cupcake and ate it. And after absorbing the electricity inside it, I focused all the electricity in my tail to do the next part.

You see, cloud houses didn't connect or stay in place with nails, screws, bolts, or anything like that. No, instead it worked with heat. Basically, you weld together the pieces of cloud to make it into a house. And because of that, it was pretty much a 3-D puzzle. And since I could focus electricity into the tip of my tail, I was a living welder. Perfect for doing this kind of job.

So after flying around the edges of each piece that were side by side by one another, they started to become one single piece of foundation instead of multiple pieces. And as soon as the whole first floor foundation was all connected, the cracks faded out and made a light 'poof' sound. Signaling that it was done.

After that, I then started pushing the first floor foundation where Gilda wanted her house to be. But it barely moved since it actually weighed a lot in this kind of form. Of course it needed to be, or else, the cloud houses would eventually float out-of-place.

Once about half a minute went by, I realized that maybe just me building this wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I couldn't just use another storm cloud cupcake because I only had four with me. Just enough to weld the cloud foundations, cloud walls, and cloud windows together.

"Need some help?" I stopped trying to push the first floor foundation and turned around to see Gilda and her friends, along with Rainbow Dash, and even Fluttershy. All ready to help me.

I simply smiled, knowing that it was obvious to them that I needed help. "Yeah. Some help would be great." I said with a nod.

And with that said, we got to work on building Gilda's house. All of our strength and help combined making it go by way faster.


By about two hours, most of the house was done. All that was left was a few doors and windows left to put in. By this point, only me, Fluttershy, Gilda, and Egil were finishing up the last part while Rainbow Dash, Clive, and Vivian were getting a few things I told them to get.

"Alright, just a little more and... Stop." I told them, Gilda and Egil getting the front door into position. They held the door frame in place from the outside, while Fluttershy opened up the door so I knew which parts to weld in place.

And by taking my tail, which I was now holding in my hooves to make the welding a little more precise, I welded the door in place. The final part of the whole house down.

"WOO-HOO!" Egil yelled out in victory. "We did it! Take that you slow Broncolyn Builders!" He yelled out, gloating about it all.

As we all flew out of the house, we landed on the ground and looked at the house from the outside.

"Blitz, you have truly outdone yourself!" Rarity said in amazement as she, along with the others came back from their walk around Broncolyn. After getting cleaned up of course. Vivian was with them too, helping them out as she went to the boutique Rarity visited and the bookstore Twilight went to so she could explain what really happened. Letting them go in and by what they wanted before.

"Yeah! That house looks amazin'!" Applejack agreed with a nod.

"Hey, I try." I said with a smile. "But, it's still missing two more things." I told them.

"What?! More stuff?! No way dude, I'm tired out!" Egil said, not wanting to do anymore work.

"You would be tired out Egil." Gilda said. "Besides, you just aren't cool enough to help us out some more anyway." She told him.

"What?! No way, I'm plenty cool! I can still help out!" He then looked to me. "What do you need robo-pony?! Just tell me, and I'll do it!" He said.

"Actually, you guys don't have to do anything. Clive and Dash should be here any second." I said.

And almost right on cue, the two of them came. Dash from the sky opposite of the city, bringing with her a decent amount of clouds. Clive coming from Broncolyn with a hot-air balloon in tow.

"Alright Blitz, here's those light clouds you wanted!" Rainbow told me.

"Great! Load them into the cloud pool!" She nodded and brought them to Gilda's Patio, pushing them into the empty pool to fill it up with clouds.

"And here's the hot-air balloon!" Clive said, pulling it towards the ground.

"Perfect." I answered, smiling that it was here without a problem. I then turned to Twilight and the others. "You guys ready to see the inside of the house?" I asked them.

"Blitz. We can't just walk on clouds. We're not pegasi." Twilight reminded me, shaking her head at me.

"But didn't you tell me about the time you used a spell that let all of you walk on clouds? Can't you still use that?" I then reminded her, making her realize just what my plan was for that.

"Oh my gosh! You're right Blitz. Hold on, it'll only take a second." She said, using her magic on her and the rest of them that weren't pegasi or griffons.

"While they're doing that, Blitz? Anything I should know about the house?" Gilda asked, half-hoping for some kind of secret room or something that she should know about.

"Just one thing. And it's important." I told her with a serious look. "Get rugs. And lots of them. Spilling enough water on the foundation will make it start to dense up and fall to the ground. Making the whole thing fall apart." I told her.

She sighed a little at that. "Already knew that dude! That's obvious!" She told me, angry that I told her that.

I simply just shrugged that off though as the others finished with the spell and loaded up into the hot-air balloon, going up so they could get up to the patio. Where me and the others just flew up to meet them.

And as soon as we all got there, Pinkie got her party cannon ready and aimed it at the deck. Where she got it, I didn't question, but what she was about to say just made us smile. "Time for a Housewarming Party!" She then fired the cannon, making party lights, a snack table, and other decorations come flying out. Covering the deck with party stuff.

"Cannonball!" Rainbow Dash and Applejack both yelled as they jumped into the cloud pool. Which acted just like a normal pool really, except a little less exciting. But that didn't matter to them as they were still enjoying themselves. As were the others who had started to enjoy the party.

"Hey Blitz." I then turned and saw Gilda walk up. "Thanks, I guess, for building my house. Even after how badly we treated all you guys. You're all right dude." She said, holding out a fist.

I smiled a little and returned the bro-hoof. "Thanks Gilda. But honestly, I don't think I'm the one you need to talk to. Cause I think you got some apologizing to do with the others." I told her, pointing to Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah, guess so. Thanks for the advice. I owe ya one." She said, walking away.

"You know, what you said earlier was a good lesson." I turned around a second time and saw Twilight looking at me with a smile.

"You mean what I said to all of them before we started building the house?" I asked her.

"Yes. In fact," She started, pulling out a paper and pencil for me. "I think it would make a great letter to the Princess." She said with a smile.

"Oh right, the friendship letters." I said, remembering how she and the others did that after something we did. "I don't know. I've never done one before. And I don't think I'd be good at them." I told her.

"Well then I guess this would be good practice." She said, not letting me back out of this.

I sighed, taking the paper and putting it on the ground so I had a place to write it. "Alright fine, I'll write it. But don't expect me to do this all that often." I told her, putting the pencil in my mouth and starting.

Dear Princess Celestia,

After coming face to face with some pony that wasn't all that friendly to me, or my friends, I learned a valuable lesson. Even though some pony might do something that's childish or wrong, it doesn't give you an excuse to do so. Sometimes, you need to be the bigger pony and not loss your temper. Something that might not be the easiest thing to do, but will lead to a better result in the end. In the end, keeping your cool while standing up to the problem, is a lot better than arguing and fighting.

Your Faithful Student's Friend, Blitz.

"There. All done." I said, Twilight levitating up the paper to read it.

"Hey Blitz!" I heard Rainbow Dash cry out.

But the second I turned around, I saw her and Gilda each with buckets in their hooves/talons. And when I saw that, I went wide seeing as they were about to splash me with what was inside the buckets.

"NO!" I yelled out flinching as flung the buckets forward sending the stuff from the pool flying at me. But when only clouds hit me instead of water, every pony there started laughing at my reaction.

"Very funny." I said sarcastically, before laughing along with them at my stupid reaction, not blowing up about it at all.


And so concludes our little adventure to Broncolyn! I know that the idea for the 'Letters to Celestia' isn't something every pony really loves, so I promise that I won't do it often. It's just that it's a nice little thing I wanted to do to make the episodes feel a little more like the show. Even if they are cheesy some of the time. XD

Still though, I hope you all liked this episode as we'll be returning to Ponyville next episode! So with that said, until next time every pony! Goodbye for now!

Oh wait! Before I go, I want to tell you all about something! A friend of mine, named gakuseiakira, is making a story called three worlds! I've read it myself, and it's pretty good! You all should check it out!

Okay, now I'm done! See you all next time every pony!...

WAIT! There is one last thing! As you all can see, I have a new picture for the story. Sadly it's off-centered, but that's really my fault. I would like to personally thank a friend of mine named Pesoen! He is very good at making stuff like that, and is very patient with it all. I wish I could put up the site that the picture's from, but FanFiction won't let me. So if any of you want to see the whole picture, I'll try and see if you're allowed to see it!

Now I'm done, I swear!... Well, except for *gets slapped in the face* OKAY, OKAY! I'm done! See you next time every pony!

QotC: What do you think of cloud houses? Do they really fit griffons? Why or why not?
