The best night ever or is it?
Chapter 5
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHi! Hyena King here! This is where Thunder and Lightning try to make it "The best night ever" for the mares. With mixed results. So, without further ado, here's chapter 5!
To say that Rainbow Dash was frustrated would've been the understatement of the year. She was determined to get the Wonderbolts to notice her, if it was the last thing she did.
"C,Mon Rainbow!" She said to herself. "If they don't notice you, you gotta make them notice you!" Rainbow looked for anything that would help. She noticed a Gentlecolt and got an idea. Acting casual about it, she butted the colt into the air, then she got him before he hit the ground. To her dismay, the Wonderbolts weren't even looking when she did it. As she threw down the colt in anger, one of the Wonderbolts came up to her.
"If I may say, that was just plain awesome!" He said, holding out a hoof to hoof-pump her.
"Gee, thanks." Rainbow said a little embarrassed, hoof-pumping him. "I didn't know anypony was watching."
"Well, I sure was."
Rainbow beamed at him. "Name's Rainbow Dash. What's yours?"
"Light-" The Wonderbolt hesitated for a second. Then. "Light speed. yeah, that's my name."
"Wanna hang out. I got loads of other awesome things I did that I can tell you."
"By all means."
The two new friends went to talk, no noticing the groan of the Wonderbolt that Lightning had knocked out. Meanwhile, Rarity was having problems of her own.
"Just give him a chance, Rarity." She said to herself. "I,m sure his princely side is sure to come out if your just...patient."
Just then, Blueblood held out a leg to stop her in her tracks.
"Miss Rarity, stop!" she looked down to see a spilled water glass. Rarity gasped.
"Prince Blueblood, how chivalrous." She said with a dreamy stare.
"One would hate to slip." Blueblood responded.
"Yes, one certainly would."
"One's cloak should take care of the problem."
"Oh, of course it will."
They stared at each other for a bit. Clearly, Prince Blueblood wanted Rarity to use her cloak. Before either of them could do anything, however, Thunder took advantage of this distraction and placed his own cloak onto the mess. The two noticed the cloak right after Thunder left. Rarity was about to say something else, but Blueblood walked across the cloak first, leaving her to follow with a glare. Thunder glared at Blueblood, then went to see to the other mares.
Pinkie, on the other hoof, was looking at the party with a sad face, then gasped as she got an idea. She whispered to the orchestra ponies, then went up to the microphone.
"C,Mon everypony! I know what,ll make you shake those groove things!" On her cue, the band began to play "The pony pokey." as Pinkie sang the words.
(I,m not even going to bother putting in any lyrics.)
As this was happening, the line of ponies going to see Celestia was cut in half. Apparently, sompony had put up a sign that said "Detour" and, apparently not finding this a wee bit suspicious, the ponies followed it. What happen next is that they were shoved into a broom closet by Thunder. The pegasus sighed.
"I,ve become Lightning."
He turned to see the line had gotten bigger than last time. This caused Thunder to hoof smack himself, but he had another thing to take care of, so he ran outside.
Meanwhile that, a depressed Applejack suddenly got swamped with different customers. These were in fact Lightning, having excused himself from Rainbow Dash temporarily. He was now dressed in all kinds of disguises, from a Gentlecolt, to a lady.
So it went like this. Thunder would follow Rarity and do princely things while she and Blueblood were distracted, making it look like Blueblood was doing them. This wasn't helping, as Blueblood was a spoiled brat and infuriating beyond comprehension. Thunder would also try to get the animals in the garden to pay attention to Fluttershy, even going so far as to try bribing them. This was to no avail, as the animals were to afraid to come out. It didn't help that Fluttershy was starting to lose it.
Thunder would then try to get as many ponies trying to see Princess Celestia out of the way as possible. This was a tough thing to do, as They just kept coming, and the broom closet was getting mighty full.
Lightning, meanwhile, was doing his own thing. He would pay as much attention to Rainbow as possible in his Wonderbolt disguise, only excusing himself when he had to tend to other things. This wasn't going so well, as Rainbow wanted all of the Wonderbolt's attention, so that she could prove herself to them.
As for Applejack, Lightning would go into multiple disguises and buy were delicious food. This was bound to fail, as Applejack was still not getting as many customers as she wanted, and Lightning was running out money. And as for Pinkie Pie, in another of his disguises, he would do the Pony Pokey, which encouraged the mare to continue the song. By the crowds reactions, this wasn't going to end well.
By the end of Pinkie's song, the brothers meet up again, completely exhausted.
"This is impossible!" Lightning said.
"We should just give up." Thunder admitted.
They stared at each other for a minute. Then they stared at each other with determination.
"Hay no! We're going to make this "The best night ever" even if it kills us!" They both cried to the sky.
Judging on how the night was going so far, it probably was.
There you go. Hope you enjoyed this little segment. R&R please!
