A Brony Life
Chapter 78: Pinkie Tracker (Episode 9)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSent in From 1250nick: I dare blitz to be locked in a room for five minutes with every member of the mane six( no rainbow dash) while they are doped up on love poison.
Zeke's POV
"And welcome back every pony to the torturous intro! I'm your Co-Host Zeke! And that is your Co-Host Trixie!" "Hello faithful audience!" "And today, we bring you our victims! There's only two remaining, so say hello to Twilight and Pinkie!"
After my great and totally planned out intro, the camera turns to them. Only instead of looking worried, they all sat there with calm smirks.
"Uh...W-what are they smiling for?" Trixie asked me, a little caught off-guard.
"No idea." I answered simply, an eyebrow raised in confusion.
DING!
"AH! Finally, they're done! Dino, the cure-all mist please." After the mist finished curing Applejack, who was still really Rainbow Dash, she burst out the door without an instant.
"Ohmygosh! Twilight?! Please tell me you can erase my memory about all this!" Rainbow Dash begged.
"Oh don't worry, I'll be able to. But I have some other good news." She said. And after whispering her plan to Rainbow Dash, she wen wide-eyed and smiled evilly. Nodding before her mind and Applejacks just switched right back to normal.
"Trixie is really getting confused here, what's going on with them?! They should be feeling, well, tortured right now!" Trixie complained with some anger.
"It's okay. We just figured out a loophole with your contract." Twilight answered simply. Making both of drop our jaws in shock. "Blitz? Are you okay in there?"
"I need therapy...Or something like that...Plus, I'm tired, hungry, and thirsty...Other then that, I might have a small chance at living." He said, staying inside because it was pointless to try and argue or escape from this.
"Well, there's only two off us left. Let's get this over with..." Twilight said, levitating her own glass of love poison over before putting it up to her mouth. Only for me to stop her.
"Hold on, hold on. What are you talking about loophole? That contract's air-tight!" I told her, giving her a frown.
"Correction. It was air-tight." She told me before teleporting ahead of me and to the door. She then closed her eyes and drank the poison. "But too bad you forgot one part about it."
She then turned towards the door and opened her eyes. Spying Blitz and having the potion come into effect. Since she was calm when she drank the poison though, it didn't take as fast effect. So she simply walked inside and closed the door behind her. Starting the timer.
Trixie shook her head and frowned towards the other mane six. "Okay, maybe we should put a stop to their plans before they actually go too far for us to-"
"Wait! I think it's time for the Top Comments! Let's see if any pony remembered their jobs for the 'Blitz Birthday' plan!" Pinkie called out, starting the comments before we could object.
3: rainchaserbrony: My job is to beat blitz in a race to distract him wile the rest of the main 6 create the party.
"Hm..." Pinkie hummed in thought before shaking her head. "Nope. 'Fraid not Rainchaser! You were close though! Your job is to distract Blitz by building a 3-D raincloud maze to make him go through. By the time he gets out, then all of us would have probably set up the party by then! Still, points for knowing you had to distract him though!"
2: IcePhoenix85. Don't worry Pinkie my job is medic and I'm going to make sure everyone survives this mission.
"Perfect! Good job Icey!" Pinkie praised. Pulling out Spike, who was acting like a flamethrower, and a small doll of a Pinkie with a halo above her head. "You be medic, and I'll be the Pyro! We will take down Blitz and his Blue team! And there is no way that-AH! The sniper is RJ the Spy! TAKE HIM OUT!" PHOSSH!
1: 1250nick. I'll probably be the one guy who knows when his birthday would be :P
"GASP! YOU?! Of course you would know Blitz's birthday! You're on the blue team aren't you?! Ice Phoenix?! Back me up, I'm taking The Demolition Man out! teach him to subtly do something nice for Blitz by putting in this dare!" Points Spike the Flamethrower at 1250nick. "Hasta la Vista! Darer!" PHOSSH!
"Anyway! I thank you all for contributing to the cause of finding Blitz's Birthday! As long as we all do our part, WE WILL NOT FAIL! Now come red team! Soldiers! Scouts! Heavies! Engineers! OUR spies! WE BEGIN THE WAR!...After my internet connection starts working! Darn! ENGINEER APPLEJACK?! ASSISTANCE!"
"Uh...Pinkie, where'd you even get that laptop-dohekey..." She asked, not sure how it even worked.
"Well...That's one way to answer the top comments..." I said, even more confused now. DING! At that sound, Dino sprayed the cure-all mist. Twilight walking out a few seconds later, shaking her head in hopes of trying to put that behind her. "Ah, perfect! Now, all we need is Pinkie to go ahead and-"
"YARGH! BLITZ?! THE RED TEAM IS COMING!" Pinkie yelled out. Taking the love poison without a second to waste as she spotted Blitz.
"Nope! Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, SO MUCH No-AGH!" Blitz was tackled for the hundredth time. Luckily for him, it was the last time, so it would at least be over now.
"Okay, while that's going on, mind explaining just what loop-hole you found that's so useful?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Simple." Twilight said, levitating over the contract. "You see, according to client's accommodation's, since we all, as a group, have been here for three episode intros in a row, we are entitled to have one dare. That we can pick and execute however we want."
"That's it?" Trixie asked with a smirk. "You think that with our huge group of lawyers, Phoenix Wright being the head lawyer, we would leave such a 'huge' loop-hole unrecognized? We told them to give you all a false sense of hope! So what of your loop-hole now?!" She said with a confident smile.
"Yes, you did make this contract rather air-tight. But you forgot one thing darling." Rarity said, adding onto Twilight's explanation. "You have no control over what the reviewers put down as dares."
That made the both of us figure out exactly what they meant. A familiar DING! sound sounding off that exact moment. Only, before Dino could pull the lever, Pinkie opened the door and helped Blitz out. Not showing the least bit affect from the Love Poison.
"Wha-huh?! But-but you drank the love-" To answer my confusion, Pinkie spit out a cup full of love poison that she had just been holding in her mouth. Meaning that she was completely unaffected by it. But had been in the closet a whole five minutes, so she was in the clear. Of course, Blitz was still about to collapse from the five and a half of them tackling him against his will.
"And...We pick...This dare..." Blitz said before collapsing unconsciously.
Sent in From Pikachu913: I dare the Mane 6 and Trixie to have a hot sauce drinking contest to see who can drink the most and last the longest . (Everyone must participate or they have to be bald until three dares later, excluding Fluttershy 'cause she's awesome. She just has to lose her wings instead.) :D The winner gets to be an alicorn.
"Oh no! Trixie! You need to win this dare!" I told her, shaking her like a rag-doll. "If you don't then they'll be able to find another loop-hole! A loop-hole that says alicorns get to pick one dare each! And that means that they'll pick another dare they can use!"
"Do you think Trixie doesn't know that?!" She said hysterically. "Fine, I'll do this! but the second I win, I'm taking a vacation! Just...Set it up!"
"Alright...Here we go." I said, waving my hand and making a table with seven bottles of bottomless hot sauce (Magical glass bottle that never run out of hot sauce) appear. "You can take up to five seconds to take a breath in between chugs. Any amount of time after five seconds and that means you lose. There is no tricking or cheating allowed. Meaning swallow all hot sauce, don't interrupt any pony else, and no washing down the hot sauce with anything but more hat sauce! If you're a unicorn then magical spells are allowed as long as they do not cross those three rules." Theo then pointed his wooden sword upwards. Acting as a starting flag.
"READY?!" He yelled out. All of them grabbing the bottles of hot sauce or levitating them up.
"SET?!" He yelled. Most of them swallowing any saliva they had in their mouths. None of them were giving up because this was their one shot at getting even with me and Trixie.
"GO!" Theo yelled, swinging his sword down and hitting the floor. At that moment, they all started chugging. Each of them having a chance.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were both used to being around rainbows and getting a taste of it in there mouths. So they were used to spicy foods.
Pinkie put hot sauce on everything, so she had almost no problem drinking this.
Trixie was used to living off of whatever she got eat/drink since the whole Ursa Minor incident, so she had a fair chance too.
Twilight was using magic to help her. Making it so the spicy-ness of the hot sauce would transfer into emitting from her mane. Which meant that her mane was a living flame as long as she drank the hot sauce.
As for Rarity and Applejack...
They both lasted a good two bottles worth of chugging the hot sauce before stopping to breath. But since they were stopping the hot sauce chugging, the spicy-ness got to them. Making both their faces turn red as their taste buds burned.
"WATER!" They both yelled out. Running away to find a well to dunk their heads in.
"Phew. Two down, four to go. Come on Trixie, win this before we get tortured!" I begged, hoping she could win. Dino was cheering too and Theo was jumping on Dino's hat with a Trixie shirt. Him being her number one fan.
"Well...Something tells me that this might take a while! Tune in next episode to see what happens every pony! Until then, goodbye!"
Disclaimer (As told by me): I do not own any MLP anything! All I own is this story, Blitz, Dino, and Theo...Who is not my son! All MLP stuff goes to Hasbro! Enjoy...And please vote for Trixie to win the hot sauce...
Blitz's POV
"Hm-hm-hmmm, hm-hm-hmmm, hm-hm-hm-h-hmmm... Dang it, I'm doing it again."
I guess Applejack was right. I have been singing all these songs today. I guess I'm just in the spirit of the season. But can you blame me?! One whole day until my favorite season and favorite holiday! Winter and Christmas!
Okay, well here it's Hearth's Warming but it still does the same thing. Although it's mainly the Eve of the holiday every pony celebrates, the day that follows was still pretty much the same! Presents under a tree, Christmas/Hearth's Warming tree, stockings, and decorations for the house! And why did I love all of this and winter so much?! Mainly because of two reasons.
One was probably pretty obvious. No matter what happened, I always got gifts. Which was great considering I was on the bottom of the food chain for my family. Still, I got a bunch of stuff I waned, and everyone around me always was a bit nicer this time of year. Probably because of how all the work and school was slowing down or non-existent around the time.
But there was something about that part that's got me thinking. I've heard some myths about Hearth's Warming Day. That nine magical creatures go from house to house to deliver presents. Flying around though they don't have wings. Using magic although they don't have horns, only antlers. And have never been seen before although one has a red nose.
I'm pretty sure that any pony that knows even a sliver of Christmas knows what I'm thinking. Santa's reindeer. Now, on Earth they're myth and are only thought real by children. But in Equestria? This was a place that had magic to begin with. And even though 'deer', especially reindeer, are said to be an old filly's tail, I didn't know what to think. Were they real? And if so, did that mean that Santa...
Anyway, the second reason was the real reason why I loved winter. The white blanket that spread across as far as the eye could see! The one thing that everyone imagined and hoped for during Christmas! A White Christmas to be exact! SNOW!
The great thing about me and snow is, that I can actual come in contact with it! Any snow that melts on me is so small and insignificant that it wouldn't short-circuit anything! The lakes are frozen, so I was able to go near them. Not skating though. I was horrible at that. But I built snow forts and snowball fights any chance I got. Snow cones, snow angels, snow shoes, snow days, snow Everything! I swear, winter is the one thing that'll make me act as energetic as Pinkie Pie!
Either way, I kept on walking down the path. Following the directions Applejack had given me. 'Go past the train station, and follow the path in the forest until ya reach Conifer Fields. There are some forks in the road though, so go ahead and...'
"Just follow the path, take a left..." I recited to myself, not wanting to forget. Although if I did, I could've just replayed her directions with my Playear. Not much of a problem, but it still would've slowed me down even more than usual. Oh well, it's not like anything could bother me this time of year. I mean, come on. What could possibly go wrong for me?
"HEY BLITZ!" Pinkie yelled, literally dropping out of nowhere and grinning like mad at me. "Ohmygosh, I'm so glad I found you! I've been everywhere except Timbucktwo looking for you!"
You know what I said a few seconds ago?...Yeah, I take that back. Because the universe, namely Equestria, went ahead and answered it for me.
"H-how did you find me?..." I asked, that being the only thought on my mind. I've been everywhere today. And I mean that literally too. Not to mention, just dropping in on me is already pretty alarming. Again, quite literally. She like fell from the sky or something. Of course, she didn't even seem to notice her entrance as she kept digging around in her mane for something. Almost as if she momentarily forgot I was here. "...Pinkie Pie?"
"That's my name!" She said, walking out from behind me. Wait, she was right in front of me a few seconds ago... "So! I bet you're all wondering just why I've called you all here today..." She said while she blew some bubbles with a toy pipe and wore a Sherlock hat.
Not really knowing how else to answer, I started with the obvious. "Uh, Pinkie?...I'm the only one here." I told her, gesturing to everywhere around us. We were in a forest pathway with nothing around us except trees.
"Then, who's that on your tail?" She asked, gesturing to my metal tail in question with a straight face. And turning to see what she was talking about, I saw Gummy trying to eat my tail. And as soon as I caught him, he jumped up and tried to bite my back. Luckily, he wasn't drooling on my back. So I didn't care if he kept trying to eat me. Just like the others, I got used to him 'biting' me. It was more annoying or bothersome than anything at this point. Even Ponyville was used to it, because if they saw one of us with Gummy biting our heads, all they do is give us an awkward glance.
"Ooookay then! Anyway, what did you need Pinkie?" I asked, turning my attention back towards her.
"Well dear suspect," Suspect? "It has come to my attention that I lack the knowledge of one very important piece of information about you..." ...Okay, is it me or does it just sound weird that Pinkie's using words like 'information' or 'lack'?
"What do you mean? You know pretty much everything about me. As much, if not more, than the others." I pointed out. She knew a bunch of random stuff about every pony. Some of their secrets, their favorite type of flower, their favorite type of flower to eat, just the most random facts about them.
"Yes, well... I'm afraid no pony knows YOUR BIRTHDAY" She yelled out, in what she was trying to sound like a 'dramatic reveal'. Getting even closer towards my face to try and emphasize it. Except, I just kept a straight face about the whole thing. "No seriously! No pony knows your birthday! Not even me, and I know every pony's birthday!"
While I just kept a straight face with a slight frown, almost bordering un-amusement, she tried to make me see the importance of it. "You don't get it, do you?! If I don't know when your birthday is, then I can't tell any pony about your birthday! And if I can't tell any pony about your birthday, they won't show up and sing songs, give you presents, eat cake, or party! Which means they'll go a whole day without partying because they wouldn't know your birthday! That'd leave me, all of your closest friends, and maybe even all of Ponyville in a complete party less atmosphere! Blitz?! Do you want to be the single cause for all of Ponyville being thrust into a land of dark despair, boring peacefulness, and lack of delicious cake monsters running amuck?!"
"Wait. What was that last part?" I asked, wanting to know if I heard her right. Did she say-
"Snap out of it man!" She said, shaking me like a rag-doll before slapping me across the face as hard as possible. Earning a vicious glare from me. "Sorry! Sorry! Still, this is no time to be thinking about something so meaningless as monsters made of dessert stuff! Leave that for Ghostbusters! What matters right now is your birthday! So, when is it?!"
Again, I just kept a blank face. Refusing to give her an answer. Pinkie couldn't live with that silence though and spoke up again. "Come on! Ponies in Ponyville are even saying that your birthday is-"
"The Fifth Mystery of Ponyville. I know Pinkie, I've heard it all before." I told her, waving that bit of news away. I knew that this was going to be coming eventually. I'm actually pretty surprised that it took her this long to figure out that she didn't know about it. You see, I didn't really care about any pony knowing my birthday or not. So I always just ignored their questions or told them it was no big deal.
"But listen Pinkie. I know this might be a little hard for you to deal with," Boy is that understatement of the year. "But I'm just going to tell you right now. I don't celebrate my birthday." And just like I thought, she didn't take that well.
Pinkie, who had gone wide-eyed with a giant grin at the anticipation of me telling her, was now twitching slightly. Her left eye not staying completely wide so easily as it twitched so much. It wasn't like she needed her eyes wide-open though. Because her pupils were almost non-existent.
"Wh-ha...What was-he...Hehehe...ha-ha...! T-that's a good one Blitz..." She started to say slowly. Her detective hat having fallen off of her head, and the bubble pipe not that far behind as it just barely hung from her mouth. "You-you almost had me going there for a second! I actually thought that you were telling the truth! But you're just trying to weasel out of it as always! HA!...That is what you were trying to do...Right?..."
"No...I'm serious. I don't celebrate my birthday. In fact, no pony celebrates it. They're all busy doing something else. I can't blame them though. I mean, they all have way more important stuff than just come to my stupid birthday." I explained further. Only making Pinkie stutter and twitch even more.
"B-bi-birth-birthday...Not imp-p-portant...No...Part-t-ty?" She tried to piece it all together. I gave her a worried expression. Waving a hoof in front of her face to try and see if she was okay. Of course, that wasn't a smart idea as she pinned me to the ground. Glaring at me even more than I was earlier. "Don't you DARE say that a birthday is unimportant!" She told me. Her voice sounding so angry and aggressive, I swore it almost sounded demonic.
And hearing that kind of voice, my instincts kicked in as I quickly kicked Pinkie off me and into a bush on the side of the road. Keeping me from seeing her anymore after that.
"Uh...Pinkie Pie? You okay?" I asked, getting up with Gummy kind of squished from being on my back. But he was fine and didn't complain as I started walking slowly towards the bush. Not sure what to expect from the pink mare. "I, uh, didn't mean to hit you that hard... Are you okay?" I couldn't just leave her in the bush. I had to check and make sure she didn't get knocked out by a rock or anything.
"Iwouldn'tifIwereyou..."
"Huh?" I asked, looking up. The voice came from above me. It was fast and energetic, not to mention familiar, but it wasn't Pinkie Pie's voice. It was a male voice. Only, there was no pony above or around me. "Who's there?"
"Blitz,youdon'trememberme?! It'sGummy! I'mtalkingwithyourear! Neat,huh?!" My ear started to speak like a recording. Apparently Gummy, who had gotten on my head, figured out a way to talk to me by using my ear as a translator.
"Yeah, I guess... I'm kinda wishing that you would make it easier to understand, but I guess that's fine." I told him a bit awkwardly before turning back towards the bush and getting ready to check on Pinkie.
"ComeonBlitz! WhatIjustsay?! Don'tdoit!" Gummy warned me. Speaking up before I could check the bush.
"Why not? What's going to go horribly wrong if I check to see if Pinkie's okay?" I asked, not getting the problem.
"Well...Iguessitwon'tbeanythinglikeAoOni...Still,don'tsayIdidn'twarnyou..." He told me, sinking behind my head as if to take cover from something.
"Oh don't worry. My lips are sealed." I reassured him as I turned back towards the bush for the third time. Like I'd tell some pony that Gummy told me anything. That alone was weird enough of me to say.
So now not having anything to interrupt me, I put a hoof on the bush. Quickly ripping away that part of the bush like a Band-Aid. Coming face-to-face with the menace Gummy warned me about.
Nothing.
"Uh...Where'd she go?" I asked slowly, not taking my eyes off the bush. Not even any indent on the ground from where she landed. It was as if she was never here to begin with. Meaning that she was anywhere except at the bush.
He just pressed my ear again in response. "...About that...You should run..." His voice projected normally for once. Sounding more worried about me than anything else. Which confused and worried me even more. Except for one thing I soon realized.
"Run? Wait a second. Why would I want to run away? It's just my friend, Pinkie Pie. Why would I need to run away?" I asked, turning around to head on down the road where I was headed to get to Conifer Fields.
"WHEN'S YOUR BIRTHDAY?!" "WOAH!" I yelled out in fear. Jumping a good five feet away from her in, I can't believe I'm saying this, fear of Pinkie and her enraged demonic voice! Her pupils looked like they were on fire. Steam was, well, steaming from her ears. And most noticeably, she looked a little more red all over from anger.
Gummy had latched onto my mane to keep from falling off. Which was a good idea because now I was going to do what he had been warning me about this entire time.
Run.
Pinkie obviously needed to cool down or something! Which meant I had to get out of here right now. So not wasting a second, I took off flying for the air. Careful not to let Gummy fall off my mane in the meantime. I knew Gummy'd probably be fine if he stayed with Pinkie. She hadn't gone off the deep end so much that he'd be in any trouble. Still, I thought it best to be on the safe side right now. That, and I've heard how these problems usually go on with Pinkie. They can never lose her in a chase. So Gummy'd probably be able to help more than any pony in Equestria.
Getting a good grip of my mane, hurting my head with how much he pulled on it, he managed to press my ear before I landed on top of a cloud. "She's not giving up that easily..."
It was pretty off setting to hear his voice be so hesitant and normal. But I would worry about that after I got some distance. So finding the bell tower that was just outside of Ponyville, I landed right beside the bell. Knowing that Pinkie couldn't get up here because of the Fourth Mystery of Ponyville. The locked tower would keep me safe enough to think up an idea.
Oh, how wrong I was...
Coming out of the bell beside me, Pinkie held in her hooves a megaphone. And the fact that she was beside a bell didn't help either. "TELL ME YOUR BIRTHDAY!"
"NO!" I yelled out, taking off again to find somewhere to hide. Something I'd never thought I'd have to do, but nonetheless I did. Pinkie had officially lost it! Over a birthday! I keep telling her it doesn't matter! Not even she would celebrate it! She'd never have time for it!
So, flying as fast as I could, I reached the highest cloud possible. Landing on it and taking a minute to breath. There was no way for Pinkie to get up here, so I had to be safe. At least, long enough for me to try and figure this out. I mean, what could I really tell Pinkie? I didn't want to tell her my birthday because it would only be harder for her to accept than this.
"Hey Gummy? Do you have any ideas about what I can do? Or at least, what I can do to get away from Pinkie Pie? I'm at a disadvantage here." I told him, wanting some way to stay away from Pinkie for good. And no way was I going to use my HDS and lock myself inside my house. That wouldn't even last half as long as it did with Rarity.
Sadly, he shook his head and just pressed my ear again. "You can't! You're doomed Blitzy!" I couldn't tell what was more annoying about that. The fact that he wasn't able to help me and was just riding along. Or the fact that he used my ear to make his voice sound like some action-movie star.
"He's right, ya know!" Pinkie called out cheerfully, hanging above me with a cloud above her. "NOW GIVE UP!" She demanded with a sudden burst of anger.
I just frowned at her and took off again. Going higher into the air past all the normal clouds that were visible from the ground. Up where the emergency storm clouds were. And laying on one, I kept my eyes on where we were. Seeing that Pinkie Pie was gone again. Only, this time she only had one direction she could come towards me from. Below. So now she couldn't sneak up on me anymore.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK!"
I froze up for a good three seconds before turning around. Only to see her, somehow, opening a small hatch that was just suspended in the air. Literally, it looked as if she just opened a door that went behind a background. And of course, when some pony does something like that when they're trying to chase you, there are only two reactions to it. One is confusion. The other is-
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" I yelled out, taking off as fast as possible from that pink nightmare and her weird door. Using one hoof to keep Gummy from falling off my mane in the process. The last thing I needed was something making me have to slow down.
"Oh! Ihaveanidea! Ihaveanidea!" Gummy told me, balancing himself on my head! "Turnleft!" He instructed. Keeping a claw on my ear so he could keep giving me commands. And banking left, I just kept flying to his directions. "Hurryup! Youhavetensecondsatbest!" He kept coaching me. "Okay! Justabitfurther and... STOP!" Gummy's voice rang out from my ear, telling me to stop a good distance away from a pile of clouds.
Except, it wasn't just any bunch of clouds. It was a cloud house. Complete with a rainbow waterfall outside of it. And the sight of it just made me facehoof at the annoyance. "Really?! Rainbow's house?! Why did you make me come here?!"
"Because! Ihaven'tseenTankinawhile! Iwantedtoseehowhewasdoing!" Gummy's voice told me with a happy attitude.
"Are you even trying to help me out here?!" I asked him with an angry and slightly exhausted tone. "NOPE!" Was all the response I got too. Sometimes, I think Gummy's the only one that can act just like Pinkie Pie, but somehow manage to not be funny.
"Oh, Blitz?! Come out, come out, wherever you are!" I heard Pinkie call out from some random direction in the air. Along with a bunch of weird machine noises, bells, and whistles. Probably from whatever she was using to catch me.
"Oh...Fine!" I gave in. Flying towards Rainbow Dash's house before bursting through the front doors and closing them right behind me. Hoping to Celestia that Pinkie didn't hear, see, predict, or sense my presence go into Rainbow's house. I was out of breath by this point and needed to catch some more.
"Blitz?! What are you doing in my house?!" Rainbow Dash asked, flying down the stairs into the entrance room where I was. "And what's wrong with you?" She asked, seeing how I was panting from how much I've been flying around.
"Chased!...Hide!...No breath!...Gummy says hi to Tank!..." I said in between deep breaths as I slid to the ground against the door. I couldn't even speak full sentences
"Wait, you're being chased? How? I thought you were almost as fast as me." She said, still managing to fit some cockiness into her questioning. Which I really wasn't appreciating right now.
"First off... I am as fast as you. Second...I can't use a storm cloud cupcake because...I don't want Gummy to fall off or get fried...Oh, and he wanted to see how Tank was doing..." I told her. Gummy just nodding in approval while he stayed on my head. He didn't want to go looking for Tank since this was a cloud house after all.
"Wait a second. Why do you have Gummy with-you're hiding from Pinkie Pie aren't you?" She deadpanned with a raised eyebrow. Knowing that was exactly why I was here right now. Why I was out of breath. And why I had been running/flying away this whole time. She was probably one of the only things I'd run away from.
"That obvious huh?" I asked, just about catching my breath. "Well... Any pointers about how I can lose her?" I asked. Gummy wasn't helping at all, so maybe Rainbow Dash had some-
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She bursted out in laughter. Rolling on her cloud floor as she tried to stop laughing. "Oh, that's a good one! Get away from Pinkie Pie! HAHAHA!" She just kept on laughing. Being a little too loud right now!
"Shush!" I told her in a whisper, trying to keep her quiet. "I'm serious!" I told her, not looking the least bit amused right now.
And as she looked at me, she noticed my face. Her laughter dying down pretty fast as she got up. "...Wait, you are?" I facehoofed at her response. "Okay, look. No pony has ever gotten away from Pinkie Pie. You're lucky she hasn't found you already."
Sadly, my luck ran out as some pony knocked on Rainbow Dash's door. And I was willing to bet my bottom bit it wasn't some pony delivering a package. "How is she knocking? It's a cloud door..." Rainbow Dash said in confusion.
"Oh dang it..." I said quietly before turning towards Rainbow Dash. "Please tell me you have a backdoor. I need to out of here desperately." I told her, not wanting to get caught right.
"Yeah sure, it's..." She said, getting ready to help me out. Only to stop and realize something. "Wait, desperately? You wanna get out that badly?" She asked, making sure she heard that part right.
"Well, I wouldn't say desperately, per sa-" But I stopped talking when even more knocking followed. This time more persistent. "Okay, yes. I am. What of it?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
She simply smirked as she flew over and came back with-a Daring Do book... "Easy. Say: 'Daring Do is the most Daring and courageous pony, next to Rainbow Dash'." She told me with a smirk.
I just gave her a 'are you kidding me' look. "Really? You're not going to help me unless I say something about this dumb book's character?" I asked, having a hard time focusing while Pinkie was literally pounding on the door. "Please tell me you're kidding?..."
She wasn't though. She just sat there with a victory grin on her face. Every time she brought up Daring Do, I made fun of it or pointed out flaws. Like how come no pony else had discovered the tombs in Equestria? Who put them there, Celestia? How come every trap was still working like brand new? Not even dust or cobwebs on them either. Finally, how were any of these artifacts important? If they caused one-hundred years of darkness or something, wouldn't Celestia just be like 'LOL nope!' and bring the sun back?
Either way, this was her revenge on me from trashing her story idol so much. And I wasn't going to have any of it.
"I'd sooner jump off a cliff..." I responded with a frown. Sure that, oddly enough, wasn't saying much since I had wings and bionics to save me at any point. But she got the idea. Along with another one.
"I'll do you one better. You can jump from a cloud house." She said as Pinkie pounded on the door once again. To which Rainbow Dash just turned towards the door with a smirk. "Hold on Pinkie Pie, I'm coming!" Rainbow Dash announced, walking towards the door while whistling a victory tune.
"Wait!" I half whispered, pulling her back to where she was by her tail. Not wanting to be caught by Pinkie. At this point, Pinkie knew for sure that Rainbow Dash was home. So now I was trapped unless...
Seeing Rainbow Dash sit there with a victory grin towards me, I sighed. "Fine..." I said, swallowing my pride as I started to say it. "Daring Do is the most daring and courageous pony, next to Rainbow Dash." I managed to say with no emotion what-so-ever.
"And 'She is even more courageous than me.'" Rainbow Dash instructed me to add on. Only for me to glare at her ten fold. It didn't make her falter though, so I just got in her face with an almost murderous glare. One that made her think my glass eye was going to shoot a laser through her head.
"Don't push it." I told her simply. And hearing some more persistent knocking, we both knew it wouldn't be long until Pinkie took down the door somehow.
"Fine, just... I'll be right back." She told her, flying off to some part of her house, only to fly back over a few seconds later. With a tattered old bag in her hooves that she threw on my back. "There."
"What are these?" I asked her, Gummy opening the bag to look inside. Only to reveal-
"More Daring Do books. I've already read all of 'em. And since you don't know how cool they are, I'm giving them to you." She explained to me, not giving me a second choice. And with what sounded like Pinkie trying to ram the door. Again, how was she even touching the door without going through it?
"Okay-fine...Just...Just tell me the backdoor outta here." I told her, not caring about the books anymore. That door was somehow coming down any second.
"Up the stairs, down the hall, through the dining room to the kitchen." She told me, pointing towards the stairs.
"Thank you!" I said, about ready to fly off and leave this house far behind me. Until I remember something. "Here, take this." I said, putting Gummy on her head. "Bye!" I told her, flying off with as much speed as I could. No gator to keep safe this time either. So I was free from any kind of restraint as I made my way up the stairs and turned right at the hallway.
Too bad that was the wrong way. The hallway acted as a crossroads from the stairs. And seeing no dining room, I turned around and started flying for the other direction. Only to hear the front door open as I crossed over to the other side of the hallway. I stopped before going any further though, hoping Rainbow Dash would find a way to slow her down.
"Hey Pinkie Pie. What are you doing here? And what's on your hooves?" Rainbow Dash asked. Since I didn't want to risk her seeing me, I didn't turn the corner to see what she was talking about.
"Balloon boots." She answered simply. "Where's Blitz? I know that he came into the house, and I need to talk to him."
"Sorry Pinkie Pie, but I haven't seen him anywhere. I would've probably noticed." She excused for me. Sweet Celestia, this might actually work! Well, if I get out of here right now it will!
"Oh...Heya Gummy." Pinkie Pie said, seeing Gummy that was still with Rainbow Dash. I just facehoofed at how that came back to haunt me so easily. "Rainbow Dash, I need you to tell me where Blitz went! It's very important he answer my question!"
"I, uh, I'm not saying! I agreed not to tell you!" Rainbow Dash told her, starting to freak out a little. Not lying anymore since that was just a waste of breath towards Pinkie.
"Uh-huh...Dashie, I hold in my hoof a manuscript for the next Daring Do book that isn't due for a few more months. It's yours if you can-"
"Up the stairs, down the hall on the left, through the dining room and out the kitchen!" She said, selling me out. Element of Loyalty?! Yeah right, if she's Loyalty I'm Rarity!
So knowing that she'd be behind me in an instant, I flew as fast as I could. Going through Rainbow Dash's back door while accidentally breaking her locks. Luckily for me, it was all cloud materials. I just downed a storm cloud cupcake and used my tail as a blowtorch to fix the lock before taking off to the one last pony I knew I could find right now.
And with the storm cloud cupcake in play, I burst through her door only after a good twenty seconds of flying straight for it. Leaving the second hole in it for the day.
"AH! Blitz! We just fixed that door!" Spike said as he and Twilight frowned at me for the sudden intrusion. But I didn't say anything as I used the last of my energy from the storm cloud treat to rush into their basement and come up with some wood and nails. Fixing the hole in the door and sanding it down to perfection. Along with setting in a new window pane for the broken window in their house. All that was left was repainting the door and they'd be fine.
"Oh. Uh, thanks Blitz..." Twilight thanked, looking at the door I broke. And then fixed.
"Here's the story you tell: I came. I fixed the door. I ran for Applejack's." I told them, running over for the door that lead to their basement. Leaving it cracked as I watched from behind it.
"Wait, what are you talking abo-" Soon enough, Twilight was interrupted by a quick paced knock on the door. "Who is..."
Since he was closer, Spike opened the door only to see Pinkie looking in every spot of the library frantically. "Uh...Hi Pinkie?"
"Where is he?! I know that Blitz was here! I can feel it in my mane!" Pinkie said, not stopping to look frantically. She looked in every possible, and impossible, way imaginable. She even turned her head a complete 180 degrees to look above her.
"Oh, Blitz?" Twilight asked, getting Pinkie's attention. "S-sorry, but you just missed him. He fixed our door then took off for Applejack's. He looked to be in a hurry." Well, at least she didn't turn on me so easily.
"Thanks Twilight!" Pinkie said, disappearing from the doorway as she ran off for Applejack's farm. Giving me some space to breath finally.
After a good minute, I leaned my head out of the doorway. And realizing that Pinkie Pie was really gone, I sighed in relief. "Thanks Twilight. She's been chasing me all day."
"What for? Is she angry at you for some reason?" Twilight asked as she closed the door with her magic. Spike having gone to the basement to get some paint for the door.
"I...Guess you could say that. She finally realized that she doesn't know when my birthday is. And now she's going nuts over it even when I'm telling her that it's not important anyway. What even made her realize that all of a sudden?" I asked, not really expecting an answer from her.
"Oh...I-I have no idea...That is pretty weird for her to notice out of nowhere." She said a little awkwardly. But I was too exhausted to question that. "But, why don't you want to talk about your birthday? Does it have to do with-"
"No, that's not it. It has nothing to do with my 'tragic past' or whatever. It's just that no pony would be able to celebrate it. Actually, I don't think any pony would want to celebrate my birthday. Not even Pinkie Pie. Of course, I don't blame them." I explained a little further.
"Well, it sounds like there's some type of explanation to this. Still, I don't know what to tell you. Especially if I don't know the whole story. If I'm going to help you and Pinkie settle this argument, I'll at least need to know why you think no pony would want to celebrate your birthday." Twilight told me. "It wouldn't hurt to tell some pony when it is."
As much as I didn't like talking about it, she had a point. There was no harm in telling Twilight about my birthday. Pinkie Pie? If she found out my birthday, she'd lose it. Probably because she wouldn't be able to find a way to celebrate it on the actual day. Still, Twilight wouldn't worry about it so much. I guess it wouldn't be a problem.
"Alright fine, I see your point." I admitted, nodding in approval. "My birthday is..."
Twilight's POV
I gasped in surprise as he told me the exact day it was. "That's your birthday?!" I asked, not even realizing just how loud I said that.
"WHAT?!"
Suddenly, bursting through my wall beside the door, Pinkie Pie was standing there. Steam flying out of her nose and ears. Her eyes literally on fire, and her mane shaking like crazy. "YOU TOLD TWILIGHT YOUR BIRTHDAY?!"
"OH MAN!" Blitz yelled out, flying through the window once again. Shattering it without a care as he started flying off in desperation to get away. Of course, I wasn't mad at him for that as I was standing behind the table in the middle of my library. Completely caught off-guard by Pinkie's sudden entrance.
"GET BACK HERE!" Pinkie yelled, chasing after Blitz just as fast, if not faster, than Blitz was flying.
"Wait! Pinkie, stop!" I yelled out, hoping to get her attention in order to stop her and talk. Only, she didn't even acknowledge my existence as she just kept on running. "Ugh! I can't believe this!"
"What's going on?!" Spike asked as he came out from downstairs. A paint bucket in his claw. "Woah! Okay, I'm not fixing the wall!" He told me in utter shock at what had happened.
"Don't worry about that!" I told him, levitating him onto my back before running out the door without breaking it this time. "We need to find Blitz and Pinkie before they start fighting!" I brought him up to speed. Explaining the important part. If Blitz was flying away in attempt to get away from Pinkie, he had to have just flown straight ahead.
And to prove me right, there was a slight path of destruction that the two of them left behind. And one pony on the ground in front of it. "Excuse me! Did you see my two friends pass by here?!" I asked him in urgency to make sure that they still went this way.
"How could I miss them?!" Ember Shade asked in complete anger. And his dark colors and slightly cut-up mane, which looked as if it had flames inside it, not helping his appearance. "The flying one almost cut my head off!"
"Which way did they-" He just pointed in the direction of the destruction and walked off. Not wanting to do anything he might regret later. "Thanks!" I called out as I ran forward. Following the rubble.
There was even a Pinkie-shaped holes in one building that led out the other side. One of the P.L.E.A.S.E. officers, Swift, looking out of it in just as much anger as Ember had. "What the hay?!" He asked to no pony in particular.
"I'm guessing that they went this way..." I said, walking past the stallion's house and continuing on. And after walking a bit further, all the way to a forest pathway, I saw something else. A shaking bush on the side of the pathway.
"Hello? Blitz? Pinkie? Are one of you in there?" I asked, going up to check. Only to be met with a figure a good three sizes bigger than either of them. "AH! A BEAR!" Spike yelled out in complete shock, falling off my back as he passed out from the fear of it all.
"Oh...I'm sorry Spike. Harry didn't mean it." Fluttershy said, coming out from behind the bear hesitantly. "Hi Twilight."
"Hey Fluttershy. Did you see Blitz or Pinkie come by here? I think they were coming this way." I said, levitating the now unconscious Spike onto my back.
"I-I don't know. I just heard some yelling and saw something pass by out of the corner of my eye... Was I supposed to see them? I'm sorry." She apologized, worried that she had messed up on helping me somehow.
"Don't worry about it. You've done nothing wrong. It's just that Pinkie's mad at Blitz because-" "BLITZ!"
"Uh, Twilight! I think we better hurry up and find Blitz before Pinkie does!" Spike reminded me, turning my head towards Pinkie's voice.
"Good idea Spike! Come on Fluttershy! We need to hurry before one of them hurts the other!" I said, running off down the pathway. Only for Fluttershy to stand in the pathway, slightly afraid of Pinkie's tone. Only, Harry went ahead and placed her on his back before running after me. Which I would've freaked out about a bear following me if it was any other case right now. Because we had bigger problems.
As we all came up on the clearing, we saw the open area. A pony with a plaid shirt and a woods pony's axe set down at the side was now yelling at Blitz and Pinkie, who were in turn yelling at each other. By this point, the three of us, Fluttershy coming over by this point much to her objection, figured that Blitz finally realized that he was running away from something when he could've tried confronting it at the source. Which to him either means compromising, or like right now, arguing.
"For the last time, forget it! I'm not telling you my birthday and that's final! It's my birthday, I decide whether or not to tell any pony else when it is! If I don't want to say it, well then tough Phoenix Feathers Pinkie! Cause I'm not saying anything!" Blitz yelled at her, looking ready to pretty much attack her.
"You just don't get it, do you?!" Pinkie asked, just as angry. "I'm not letting you leave until you tell me just when your birthday is!" Suddenly, she pulled out a rubber chicken and a canister of seltzer water. Making Blitz take a step back in sight of it. "And there are plenty more jokes to go around!" She said, throwing a red clown nose towards Blitz. Having it land at his front hooves.
He just got confused at it though and bent down to look at it. Only for it to explode in a mess of fruit cake all over his upper body and face. And as Blitz was busy wiping the cake off his face, Pinkie appeared behind him and smacked him upside the head with the rubber chicken. Knocking him to the ground where she then sprayed the seltzer water down his throat. Making him cough on it as Pinkie jumped back to get ready.
"Oh my goodness...Blitz, Pinkie, please stop..." Fluttershy tried reasoning. Only, she was too quiet with her whispering tone. So neither of them heard her. Especially Blitz who I could've sworn was so angry looking, his glass eye was glowing red. Of course, that could've been thanks to the cake in his eye.
He still responded just as angrily. He downed yet another storm cloud cupcake and charged at Pinkie with a sudden burst of speed. Somehow reaching her before she could realize just what was going on. He then simply placed his metal hoof on her head and started shocking her even more than her usual overcharged joy buzzer. Making her mane get even frizzier before she shot his grapple hoof forward with Pinkie's head in it's grip. Sending her flying into a pile of chopped off Christmas tree branches. Cushioning her fall just enough to keep from getting too hurt. Although you can tell it had to sting at the very least, not counting the needles of the tree branches digging into Pinkie's coat.
She just rose up from the pile though. Pulling out her party cannon which was somehow inside the pile of branches as well. She launched it forward, the ammo being a disco ball. Blitz just did a quick spin in his defense. Shattering the ball with his tail and keeping the sharp shrapnel of the disco ball from hitting him.
Blitz shot his grapple hoof forwards again, making it look as if it was trying to hit Pinkie's shoulder. Only when she jumped away, it was obvious to her that he was aiming for the party cannon. Hitting it and knocking the cannon part right off of its wheels. Making it completely useless.
Pinkie didn't take that well though as she pulled a candy cane out from under her mane. One that was the same size as Blitz's tail. Which he had put in his mouth to use as a sword in defense to Pinkie's Candy Cane sword.
As they both ran towards each other with great speeds, Blitz from the storm cloud and Pinkie from her own randomness, I was in awe at how much they were fighting. Fluttershy was hiding behind the bear, Harry, who looked a little concerned too. Spike on the other hoof was just sucking on a topaz he had been keeping in his pocket to snack on. Eating it as if it was a snack for a fight.
"Blitz! Pinkie! You need to stop this! What's fighting going to solve?!" I asked them. Hoping that they'd come to their senses.
"Tha' she won' 'ow mah birf'day..." Blitz said with his tail in his mouth as the two make-shift swords clashed
"Him 'elling me 'is irth-day..." Pinkie answered directly after jumping back from Blitz as he tried to hit her over the head with the flat side of the sword. She then jumped up and tried to hit Blitz over the top of the head with the candy sword. Only to be ineffective as Blitz slammed into Pinkie in mid-air. Sending her back a ways.
"Stop fighting!" I ordered, trying to levitate their two swords and anything else they might have on them that could drag this on. Only, I was met with a giant candy cane, metal tail, nails, screwdrivers, hammers, party banner tacks, perfectly sharpened colored pencils, darts, storm cloud cupcakes, bottles of water, practical joke items, a bag full of Daring Do books, and a metal ear all flying towards me at great speeds. Sharp end facing forwards for most of the items.
I immediately teleported away from that spot and appeared next to the lumberjack pony who was watching in amazement. Actually excited to see a fight like this break out at a Hearth's Warming Tree Field.
Still, that didn't stop the two of them as they resorted to wrestling the other into giving up. Pinkie trying to put Blitz in a head lock as he kept hitting her over the head with a metal hoof. Pitifully enough, just as Blitz was starting to run out of breath, he gave one more hit over the head to Pinkie Pie. Making her get dizzy and fall down beside to Blitz. Who was light-headed from lack of air.
"Are you two seriously this upset over a birthday?" I asked with a disapproving look as I went over to the two of them. Spike, who was still over with Fluttershy and the bear, started making his way over towards us along with Fluttershy.
"Pinkie Pie," I started, turning towards her since she was coming to her senses faster than the light-headed Blitz. "Blitz doesn't want you to know about his birthday. And if you'd actually take a few seconds, or ask flat out 'why' he doesn't want you to, then you'd realize that there is a perfectly good reason as to why Blitz doesn't wan to tell you his birthday."
"Blitz," Spike started, helping him up since he pretty much needed help getting his balance. "Even though I don't know what the reason is, it really shouldn't matter! get over it! Me and Twilight's birthdays were just yesterday and a few days back! And even though I didn't like how crazy Pinkie made the party, I didn't try and make her feel bad or get angry by denying her my birthday! Whatever reason you have, I'm sure that it's not good enough to keep Pinkie from knowing the one thing she thinks, does, and lives!" He told Blitz.
I couldn't help but smile at Spike's own explanation. Noting how I couldn't have said it better myself. "Now Blitz, can you please tell Pinkie when your birthday-" "THUMP!"
As Blitz fell to the ground from lack of balance after Spike let him go, I noticed how he was still too out of it to really say or do anything too extreme or complicated. Pinkie wasn't that far better, but since she was used to getting dizzy and over-exhausted from parties, she had a better tolerance for this kind of thing.
"Okay fine I'll say it." I told him, getting a slow nod from Blitz who was acting almost as discombobulated as Derpy Hooves right now. "Pinkie. The reason Blitz didn't want to tell you his birthday is because of when exactly it was."
"Why would that matter? If he didn't want me to celebrate a humungously big birthday, I would've been fine with just a small party with the few of us!" She tried defending, trying to make me see her reasoning.
But I shook my head. "Actually, that's not it. You see, his birthday is really on a-"
"ACHOO!"
Suddenly, interrupting my explanation was the Lumberjack pony sneezing. "Huh? Oh! Sorry 'bout that! You were sayin'?!" He asked as he pulled a rag out to clean his nose.
"As I was saying..." I started up again. "Blitz's birthday is on a-
"BELCH!"
Interrupting me, AGAIN, was Spike this time. Burping up a letter. "That's weird..." He said, picking it up and expecting it. "It's written with stripped paper and has a royal seal with a 'D' on it..." As he opened it, he was met with a large amount of wind to his face. The wind somehow changing the green scales on his head to look like an afro. "AH! What the, how did that even..."
After reading it through, he frowned and crumbled up the paper. Breathing non-magical fire on it in able to burn it up normally. "Stupid Discord...It'll take a whole bubble bath to get my scales back to normal!"
"Ahem!" I cleared my throat, looking at Spike who had managed to stop me once again. "Anyway, Pinkie you see. Blitz didn't want to tell you when his birthday was because if he did, you may have started to worry because it's the same day as-" "ZZzzZzZZZzzzz..." "Huh?"
Looking to Pinkie, I saw that she was now asleep on the ground. Completely disregarding what I was trying to tell her! After all of this, NOW is when she falls asleep?!
"Pinkie!" I yelled out in slight anger, trying to wake her up.
"It's okay Twilight..." Blitz said, starting to get up himself. Even though he was a little dizzy and swaying a bit, he was fine now. "I think I can take it from here." He told me, walking over towards Pinkie as best he could while ignoring the dizziness.
"Be my guest." I said, walking over to Spike and sitting down. And even though he had his scales at an afro, he was laughing at me a little with how I was reacting to all the distractions.
"Pinkie." Blitz said, tapping Pinkie Pie on the head. Giving her a tiny shock that was the equivalent of touching a doorknob and getting shocked.
"Wha-huh? Oh-YAWN-hey Blitz! You're standing again! That's good, for a second I thought I beat you up too much! Which wouldn't be any good for you because we might've had to take you to the Ponyville Hospital, and we all know how much that doctor loves asking how that metal leg works for Scientific Discovery!" She said with a 'deep' booming voice to try and sound 'all-powerful' or something. She went ahead and quickly jumped to her hooves. "Not only that, but think of the reputation! All the reviewers would probably say something about you losing and 'never crossing Pinkie with parties'! I mean, that wouldn't be good since they make fun of you a Ra-Woah! Now I'm falling down!"
At that moment, Pinkie fell to the ground because of how fast she tried getting up. "Well, guess I'm still a little out of it!" She said with her usual giggle. And after getting up, slower this time, she looked to Blitz. "So what were you saying?
"Well, I was going to tell you my birthday. But since I might've given you a concussion, I'm not sure anymore..." Blitz said, trying to back out of it. But when he saw me and Spike frowning at him, as well as Pinkie with a blank expression, he sighed. "I don't have a choice though, do I?"
"Nopey-Dopey!" Pinkie said, busting out a smile.
"Alright fine. Well, like Twilight was trying to say; I didn't want to tell you because you wouldn't be able to celebrate it. Whether you knew my birthday or not. And I know you'd go crazy trying to figure out a solution." He explained to her. That was his reason after all. And why did that make any sense you may ask?
"But, that doesn't make any sense silly!" Pinkie started, jumping over to him while catching herself from falling. "Because I've had a few parties on the same day! In fact, I've had four parties in one day! That was SO much fun too! I woke up in a flying balloon and had to find my way back because that day was scheduled for fog! But still, it was so worth it!"
After the three of us took a good few seconds to try and think of just what she had said, we all shook our heads at once and Blitz continued. "Yeah...But that's just it. You wouldn't be able to throw multiple parties. You can really only celebrate one, and it wouldn't be my birthday. Because you see my birthday is on..."
Me, Spike, and Pinkie Pie all stayed silent as he stopped talking. Looking around. In case there was anything about to interrupt him. "Oh, nothing? I thought something was going to stop and keep me from saying it. Especially after everything that stopped Twilight from-"
"JUST SAY IT ALREADY!" Me, Spike, Pinkie, the lumberjack pony, Fluttershy, and I think even the bear stopped him from rambling on about how something was or wasn't going to stop me from-
"Okay, okay! Sorry! Pinkie, my birthday. Is on Hearth's Warming Day." Blitz told her simply, taking a step back to let Pinkie get her space.
"Hearth's Warming Day?" Pinkie asked. "Hearth's Warming Day?! Your birthday is on Hearth's Warming DAY?!"
"Yep. All day, beginning to end. Born at 1:11 PM..." Blitz said, expecting Pinkie to start freaking out about it. And honestly, I was surprised that he knew the exact time he was born. Was technology always that advanced for humans where they can figure out the exact time of the day?
"Birthday...Same as holiday...Amazing..." Pinkie said, trying to contain her excitement.
"That's why I don't really think much about my birthday. I'm already getting gifts, family's all over for holiday, and every pony's always nicer on Christmas usually. So my birthday is more of a side note to me." Blitz explained. But seeing Pinkie about to blow-up in happiness over it, he gave a concerned look. "You're not going to freak out over the party planning or go sky-rocketing over it are you?"
"Me? Freak out over planning a party?!" Pinkie asked with fake shock. "Neva!...Would you mind if I cheer for how fun that is, though?" She asked with a straight calm expression.
"Uh...Nah, go nuts." Blitz said with a shrug, not minding if Pinkie acted excited about it. That much he expected out of her.
"Okay! Ahem..." She said, clearing her throat and walking to the middle of the clearing. At that moment, she rocketed forwards towards a tree. Bouncing off of it and making it glow like a Pinball Machine Bumper. She then flew into another tree, and another. Bouncing all over the place as she hit every tree with perfect aim.
"Well, I'd be lying if I didn't say that this was a little bit of my reaction." I told him with a smile. "I can't believe your birthday is Hearth's Warming Day! I mean, that's so great that it-LOOK OUT!" I yelled out, putting a force-field around the remaining three of us. Keeping Pinkie from Pinballing into us next. I went ahead and teleported all the stuff I took from them into the shield as well so Pinkie wouldn't run over any of it.
"Gee thanks. Saved me from a giant living pink pinball of doom." Blitz said jokingly as he got all his stuff back. "Still, I don't know whether it was a good idea to actually tell her me birthday. She's going crazy about it already and she hasn't even realized that it's less than fifteen days away."
"You need to have some faith in Pinkie, Blitz." I told him with a smile. "After all, she is the one who follows her Pinkie Promises more than any pony else."
"Yeah, sure. She may be good with Pinkie Promises, but I won't believe her calming down about birthdays until I see it for myself." He told me, not believing me. Good thing Pinkie had just the opportunity to prove herself.
"There y'all are." Applejack called out as she, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash walked into the clearing. Walking up beside Fluttershy and keeping a slight distance from her bear. "We've been lookin' all over for ya. We figured that we should get some Hearth's Warming trees at the same time."
That's when they saw Pinkie bouncing all over the place. "Oh, Pinkie Pie? Why are you bouncing around like a silly game of pinball?" Rarity asked, watching as Pinkie Pie slid to a stop in front of them.
"I finally figured out what I had forgotten! I never found out Blitz's birthday!" She told them all with a big grin on her face. Earning me an 'I told you so' glance from Blitz.
"Oh yeah. No pony knows your birthday, do they Blitz? That's the Fifth Mystery of Ponyville." Rainbow Dash remembered, looking over at me, Spike, and Blitz for a second before turning back towards Pinkie. "So when is it?!" She asked, wanting to know the 'Fifth Mystery' before any pony else.
"It's-" Pinkie stopped herself mid-sentence. Remembering how much Blitz doesn't really think his birthday's important. And while me, Fluttershy, Spike, and Pinkie knew, he still didn't want any pony else knowing. And Pinkie couldn't help but just grin happily at the others. "It's not important." She said with a shrug, saying the same thing Blitz said to any pony that asked.
"Aw, not you too." Applejack said, noticing that last part. "Well, I guess we ain't gonna figure it out anytime soon. Come on every pony, let's start lookin' fer a tree." She said, all of them going forward to see the Lumberjack Pony. Fluttershy an her bear, who had come to help her bring the tree home, included.
"Thank you Pinkie." Blitz told her with a smile. Making her jump over towards us.
"Don't mention it! Now come on! We have a bunch of trees to pick out!" Pinkie said, bouncing after the others, humming Hearth's Warming Carols along the way.
"You said it." Blitz told her, walking after her while singing 'Christmas' Carols. And I couldn't help but just giggle a little at how they were acting so similar right now.
I couldn't help but shake my head at how similar they were acting. But knowing that I couldn't stay an let every pony else take the better trees, I started walking. "Well it looks like they got along pretty well. Now come on Spike. We need to find one of the more healthier trees. They're easier to enchant, and I need to make sure that you can't-"
"I know, I know. So I can't sneeze on it and turn it into firewood." Spike huffed. Making me chuckle a little in response. "A dragon gets a cold on Hearth's Warming one time!" He complained. Making me start laughing, followed by him. I guess what Blitz said is right. Every pony was a little more calm, helpful, and overall nicer around Hearth's Warming Eve. Well, at least ignoring Dark Friday.
And so ends the last episode of the year! Now don't worry! I plan on doing a Hearth's Warming Eve special for every pony! One that will include, the intro cast (Theo, Dino, me and Trixie) Morgue, Joe, Big Mike, a ton of background ponies, the mane six of course, and plenty more! It'll be out soon and will mainly star Morgue and Pinkie! Why them? Well, to quote a crazy plant loving man that wears a pot on his head: "Because I'm CRAZY!"
Also one other thing. I've noticed that recently some of you have started reposting your dares. And like I've said before, I write the ALL down! I have 3+ pages filled out with no sign of stopping them! So if you haven't seen your dares before, DO NOT WORRY! I have them written and am waiting for the perfect moment to use them! Some of them will happen IN the story! And to do that, it'll take a while! So there! Please stop reposting them! It's murder to reread them an cross them out with pen!
Finally! We're starting to reach the end of this season! About four, maybe five episodes if I can think them through fast enough! Then comes the giant season finale! And I plan on making it pretty good! So here's hoping you're all excited about that.
P.S. Can some of you help me understand something? This isn't the QotC, but I've been seeing this around FimFiction and have no idea what to expect...Ahem...
WHAT IS WITH THE 'PEACH' STORIES?!
That is all. Thank you, and until next time.
QotC: If they all broke into fighting, who would win? Blitz/Pinkie/Twilight/Spike/Fluttershy/Harry the Bear/Lumberjack Pony/Cabbage Pony? PLACE YER BETS!
