My Little Pony: The Human Chronicles

Episode 12: Bro Time

---

It was another quiet day in Ponyville, in fact it was one of those days where everypony just wanted to sit back, relax and do nothing but rest. Well, mostly.

As the townspeople went about their usual activities something zooms right past them like a blue blur.

Who ever it was zoomed around, over and under each of the townsfolk at an incredible speed. As he zoomed down through the town he called out to each of them, to let them know he was coming.

"Coming through! Excuse me! Heads up!" he cried.

When everypony got a closer look at the speedy racer they saw that it was Toby Morrison the human zooming through town on what appeared to be a wooden and handmade skateboard. He also now wore a whole new set of clothes, as his other clothes were shredded during his battle with the bog creature. He wore a light blue and white striped t-shirt, dark blue pants with a red stripe down each side and blue and white sneakers.

"Wha-hoo! Man this board works like a charm!" Toby remarked "I should know, I built it,"

He saw two stallions carrying something in front of him and smirked. He leapt right over the large object they were carrying and landed on his skateboard on the other side. Everypony that saw was amazed.

As he skated further ahead he spotted a large, round and hallow object just above him as well as something that could double as a ramp up ahead of him. He once again got another idea in his head.

He skated faster and faster towards the ramp till finally he skated up and went flying upwards till he ended up into the large tube like object. He rode around and around inside the tube till he finally popped out on the other side.

Once he landed on the other side he made a few sharp turns around two more ponies and even over Granny Smith.

He smiled peacefully as everypony around him cheered and stomped their hooves with joy. He glanced upwards and sighed with hint of dull surprise as he saw a giant bug like creature flying right over the town.

It was colored purplish-gray, had sharp fangs, four legs, two razor sharp teeth, a dual stinger on its tail, four wings and resembled something that looked to be a combination of a bee, a moth and a tick.

It made a menacing buzzing sound as it flew.

"Hero time," Toby said before he clapped his hands and teleported. He then appeared above the giant bug and smacked it in the face with his board before throwing the board towards the ground and porting back on it. The bug then began to follow him.

"That's it big boy, come to Uncle Toe," Toby muttered as he watched the giant tick flew closer to him.

Toby skated further and further towards the water tower and when he finally got close enough he teleported himself and his board to a different location while the bug crashed right into it, causing the tower to fall right on top of it and release all the water that was inside.

"Everypony clear out!" Toby cried as the townspeople ran from the incoming flood of water.

Toby then spotted Spike up ahead, running away from the flood.

"Help me!" he screamed.

"Spike!" Toby shouted before skating over to him. Once he got close enough he scooped Spike up and put him on his back.

"Toby!" Spike exclaimed happily.

"Fancy meeting you here, bud," Toby smirked.

Just then, the giant bug emerged from the collapsed water tower and started to fly straight towards Toby. Spike noticed this.

"Uh, Toe?" Spike said slowly "There's a giant bug chasing us!"

"I'm aware," Toby stated "Fluttershy told me about these things, another extinct species, no doubt brought back by the same guy whose after me,"

"Jeez, you think that guy will ever give you a break?" Spike wondered.

"Heroes don't take a day off," Toby told him besides even if this guy did say he'd leave me believe I wouldn't believe him anymore then I can believe that there's actually such thing as a 'headless horse'."

"You've been listening to Rainbow's scary stories haven't you?" Spike asked.

"Parts of them, they usually put me to sleep, even faster than Twilight when she's explaining something," Toby replied. "Then there's Rarity taking about different fabrics..."

"Fluttershy talking about her fears, Sophia helping you in your and her heroic feats," Spike continued.

"Not to mention A.J talking about all her relatives and Pinkie Pie talking about when everypony's birthday is," Toby added.

"Yep, that's our girls, can't live with them, can't live without 'em," Spike stated "Mostly, because they've pulled our rumps out of the fire more times than either of us can count,"

Toby nodded "Ain't that the truth,"

An idea then began to form in Toby's head.

"You know, I bet we could-" Toby started before Spike cut him off.

"Watch out!" Spike cried.

Toby ducked just in time as the giant bug swung it's giant stinger at him.

"Ok, before I finish that sentence, I have to deal with this thing first," Toby said. "You mind,"

"Go for it," Spike nodded before jumping off. Toby skated a farther ahead before porting himself and his board again.

He reappeared next to Spike, enlarged his fists, held back his arms and clapped his hands, creating a large shockwave that sent the bug flying right through several clouds, much to several Pegasus's surprise before crashing landing in the lake.

"Yes!" Toby cheered.

"Nice one! Your getting pretty good at that teleporting stuff," Spike told him.

"Thanks," Toby smiled appreciatively.

"So, what were you gonna say before exactly?" Spike asked.

"First, I need you to gather Big Mac as well as Snips and Snails, I'll catch up with you later," Toby told before skating away, leaving Spike very befuddled.

---

Sometime later, Toby was skate boarding to the fountain in the middle of town and sure enough, Spike, Big McIntosh, Snips and Snails were already there.

He stopped when he reached them and kicked the board into his hand.

"Sup guys?" The human asked.

"Hey, Toe!" Snips and Snails said.

"Eeyup?" Big McIntosh said.

"Hey, Toby, so what did you gather us for anyway?" Spike asked.

"Alright gentlemen, sit still and listen up," Toby told them, all four of them obeyed and sit near the fountain while Toby stood in front of them with his hands behind his back and pacing. "Ok, now if you add us plus Twi and the girls to our little 'circle of friends' you can tell that in that circle their 6 chicks and only 5 dudes,"

"Yeah, nice odds!" Snails smiled.

Toby bonked him on the head "No banana brain, bad odds," he stated "Now I have absolutely nothing against the girls, their like sisters to me but unfortunately it's usually only me and Spike hanging around them, in that sense the circle still has 7 girls and 2 dudes,"

"Eeyup?" Big McIntosh asked.

"So, I fear if we spend a little more time with them or possibly all our time with them we might end up looking like that guy," Toby said gesturing to the stallion with a girlish like mane and pink outfit. Snips and Snails shudder.

"Exactly, we will lose our man hood!" Toby told them "Which is why I propose we all spend a little time to ourselves to take a break from them,"

"Uh, I don't know Toe, I wouldn't want to hurt Sophia, Twilight, or any of the girl's feelings or anything." Spike mused.

"Neither do I," Toby stated "Look, it's just once a week, we spend a little time having fun and then after the day is done we go back to hanging with them, piece of cake,"

"Makes sense," Big McIntosh nodded.

"It does make sense, " Toby insisted, "Besides, haven't you heard of a 'girls night out' while this is a 'guys night out', plain and simple, short and sweet and to the point,"

"So, what will we do during 'guy's night'?" Snips asked.

"Oh you know, hang out, play some cool games, party, tell very scary stories, maybe pull a few pranks, that sort of thing," Toby explained.

"Gee, I'm just not sure..." Snails admitted.

"Yeah, me neither," Snips added.

A few minutes later both Snips and Snails are hanging upside down screaming their heads off. Toby was holding onto them by their tails.

"Are you sure now?" Toby asked "My arm is getting tired,"

"Ok! We'll spend the night at your place!" Snips cried.

Snails nodded and whimpered in agreement.

Toby let them go, as it turns out they were only a few inches above the ground, which they landed on no problem.

"Boy, Toe, you can sure be scary," Snips told him.

"Only when I want to be," Toby said. "Don't worry, I'll try hard not to be so threatening in the future, unless you make me mad that is,"

"Cool. Hey, Toby, can your house really fit all of us?" Spike asked "If I recall correctly it's pretty small,"

Toby chuckled "Follow me,"

Toby walked off ahead, the others were unsure at first but decided to follow him.

---

Before long, the guys, excluding Toby who just smiling proudly at something, had their moves wide open in shock as they stared at what appeared to be a fancy two story house on top of a large tree. At the top of the house was the sign that Toby around the time he first got to Equestria; 'Nick of Time Odd Jobs'.

"Ta-da! Sophia and my home, redesigned specifically for the occasion," Toby said.

Big McIntosh whistled, impressed.

"How did you do this?" Spike asked still shocked.

"You'd be surprised how much bits you can collect over time after you've helped paint everypony's rooms, fix their roof's, pick up all the litter around town and so on," Toby stated.

"Cool! Hey, do you think you can help clean my room later?" Snip asked "I only have one bit so-"

"It's cool, kid, Sophia and my business helps everypony, not just those who can afford it," Toby told him "To us, nopony's more special then everypony else, we are all equals, but for tonight we guys stand united!"

The guys cheer.

"Great, ok we'll all meet at my place after dark and then when it's night we party like animals!" Toby exclaimed.

They guys cheer once more.

"Awesome! Hey, don't we should tell the girls about it?" Spike asked.

Toby thought for a minute and realized that he had a point.

"Hey, it's only fair plus I don't want to keep them in the dark," Toby nodded "Besides if we did they'd probably make us regret it one way or another."

Spike nodded in agreement.

"Well, see you guys then!" Toby told them "Come on, Spike,"

Toby grabbed Spike and started to super speed away.

"WHOA!" Spike cried as he is pulled away at supersonic speed.

---

A couple of minutes later, Toby managed to get to Sophia and each of the Mane Six and gather them all in one place so that the nine of them could talk about the upcoming night.

"Ok, Toby, you got us all here, so what did you want to talk about?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Ooh! Are we planning a party tonight?" Pinkie Pie asked excited.

"No," Toby responded.

"The thing is, tonight, me, Toby, Big McIntosh, Snips and Snails are planning on having some fun at Toby's," Spike started to explained, he saw that Pinkie was about to speak again and finished his sentence "Without you girls,"

Pinkie's hair deflated while the other girls looked shocked.

"What not?" Rainbow Dash demanded.

"Is there something wrong with us being there?" Fluttershy asked.

"Not exactly, it's just that for this night only we guys are gonna spend some time together with no female around whatsoever, it's called 'Guys Night', kinda like 'Girls Night' only for guys, you follow?" Toby asked them.

"Ah, I see," Rarity nodded.

"I see, that that makes little to no sense!" Applejack stated.

"Hmm, how do I explain this to an old-fashioned cowgirl?" Toby wondered before speaking very slowly "Me. And Spike. Plus. Your. Big. Bro. And. The. Two. Dun. Der. Heads. Are. Gonna. Spend. The. Night. At. My. House. Have. Ving. Fun. With. No. Girls. At. All. Did you get that?"

Applejack did not look amused "Cowgirl. Understand," she said frowning.

"What I don't understand is why don't you want us to come with you guys," Twilight Sparkle stated "I mean what are you guys thinking?"

"We were thinking that we're two guys whose six best friends are girls and that it was time that we started hanging out with more guy friends," Toby stated.

"You guys have guy friends!" Pinkie Pie said before pulling a stallion called Doctor Whooves forward "You like Spike and Toby right?"

"Yes, hello boys!" Doctor Whooves said politely, Toby and Spike wave to him.

Rainbow Dash knocked him back and stood in front of them "See?"

"Yeah, except that guy is an acquaintance," Toby told him "We need guys that we know personally, you know guys that actually know 'The Guy',"

"What's 'The Guy Code'?" Applejack asked.

"We can't tell you, you're not a guy, " Toby stated.

"Gee, what a shame we aren't guys," Rainbow Dash said sarcastically.

"Indeed. Look, we just need to spend a little more time friends that are guys," Toby said bluntly. "Are we clear?"

"Oh, I see, you boy just want some time to yourselves for a night," Twilight Sparkle said understandingly.

"Exactly!" Toby exclaimed.

"So can we spend the night at Toby's?" Spike asked hopefully. Spike gave the girls Bambi eyes and they eventually relented.

"Oh, alright! You boys can have a 'guys night'," Rarity said "Right girls?"

The rest of the pony gang nod.

"Yeah," Sophia agreed.

"Yes!" Spike and Toby cheered as they high fived.

"Man, you girls rock," Toby told them "And don't worry, it's just for tonight, we'll hang out together tomorrow, so we'll see you then,"

"Ok, bye!" Twilight Sparkle smiled as she and the others wave to the two boys who had just turned around and were walking away. As soon as they were out of sight the girls turned to each other and exchange glances.

"So, we gonna spy on them or what?" Rainbow Dash asked eagerly.

"No, we're not," Twilight Sparkle said sternly.

"Aw, come on!" Rainbow Dash protested "You wanna know what they do when we're not around too, more probably,"

"Uh, what exactly are you two talking about?" Applejack asked.

Rainbow Dash thought for a moment before starting to speak slowly just like Toby "We are."

Before she could finish Twilight put her hoof in her mouth to prevent her from speaking.

"She wants us to spy on Toby and the guys to see what kind of 'fun' they plan on doing," Twilight Sparkle explained.

Rarity said, "Spying!? How rude!"

She paused before having an excited grin on her face "But quite exciting! I'm in!"

"Me too!" Pinkie Pie chirped "It sounds like fun!"

"I am mighty curious what this 'Guy Code' is," Applejack admitted.

"Uh, I don't know..." Fluttershy started, Rainbow then gave her a hard glare "I mean I'm in!"

The five look towards Twilight expectantly, pressuring her to come with them.

"Look, we have to respect the Toby and Spike's privacy." Twilight Sparkle started, the girls continued to stare at her "So, it'll just be a small peek inside to see what their up to, but that's it,"

The rest of the girls cheer.

"Alright girls, looks like it's spy time!" Rainbow Dash smiled.

"Count me out, guys," Sophia suggested.

"What do you mean, hon?" Applejack asked.

Sophia answered, "I mean spying on them is an invasion of privacy. I was tempted to do that once before and I'm not gonna be tempted to do that now."

"Oh. Okie-dokie-lokie," Pinkie agreed giddily.

"But where will you sleep while they are having their guy's night?" Twilight asked.

"I was going to spend the night at your place, Twilight," Sophia stated.

"Sure, but make sure you keep it clean when I get back," Twilight said.

So Sophia decided to head to Golden Oaks Library to spend the night there since she doesn't want to help spy on the guys on their guy's night.

---

Later that evening, Toby was leaning against the truck of his tree house as Spike, Big McIntosh as well as Snips and Snails approach carrying their stuff.

"Sup, brothers!" Toby waved with a smile.

"Hey Toe!" Spike said.

"So, are guys ready to party like men?" Toby asked them.

"Yeah!" They cheered.

"Are you ready for the most fun night of your lives?" Toby added.

"Yeah!" The others cried.

"Does anypony need to go to the bathroom?" Toby questioned.

"Yeah!" Snips and Snails shouted, the guys look at them bizarrely.

"Fine, you can go when we get up, I just installed a bathroom, don't ask how," Toby told them.

"Plus a sink, and a bunch of other things needed to live on your own. Ok, let's go,"

Toby jumped on the large mattress near his house and bounced upward onto the deck of the house. Spike, Big Mac and Snips and Snails followed quickly afterwards.

Below them, the Mane Six were all hiding in a bush watching them.

"Ok girls, let's be quiet, take a peek and get out before they even know we're there," Twilight Sparkle informed her friends.

"Right!" The girls said in unison.

---

Inside Toby's new two story house the guys had just entered the first floor. It has now been decorated with a large, round red mattress, a disco ball, comfy looking chairs, a record player and had a table with dozens of snacks. Toby's four male friends were all in awe.

"Welcome gents to the greatest bachelor pad in town," Toby said with a smile before hitting the disco ball with a bolt of magic, causing it to spin and sparkle.

Snips and Snails look around smiling with glee.

"Add a bowling alley and rodeo clown we would never leave!" Snips commented.

"Yeah!" Snails agreed.

"Eeyup!" Big McIntosh nodded.

Spike looked around "Boy, you sure have a lot of free time on your hands, Toby," he stated.

Toby shrugged "What can I say? I like to get my work done fast, plus I made some wise investments with the bits I earned while other kids invest there's in gum,"

Snips and Snails rub their heads embarrassed.

A thought then appeared in Spike's head "Hey you don't think the girls will actually be able to try and spy on us, do you?" The dragon asked.

"Nah! There are friends! They respect our privacy and they said they were cool with it. Besides they way too smart to try and break in,"

"Why that?" Big McIntosh asked.

"Let's just say I set up a few booby traps to keep unwanted people out of the house while I'm sleeping," Toby explained

"There are many creatures out there who don't like me very much and would gladly like to kill me while I sleep, hence the booby traps,"

Snips and Snails giggled.

"You said 'booby'," Snips snickered.

"Twice!" Snails added.

The guys all chuckled, while outside the girls were bouncing onto the deck as they spoke.

"But don't worry boys, even if they are that stupid I have faith those traps will keep them and anything out," Toby assured them.

The girls slowly and quietly approached the front door so that they can open it a crack and take a peek inside. Rainbow Dash leaned out her hoof to turn the knob when Twilight spoke up.

"Careful Rainbow!" Twilight Sparkle hissed quietly "We don't want to open it too much,"

"Relax, Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said "What could possibly go wrong?"

Rainbow Dash touched the knob gently but that somehow caused one of the traps to activate. The girls heard a sound and see a monkey statue swinging towards them.

"Is that a monkey?" Applejack asked bewildered.

"Sure is!" Pinkie Pie nodded before the monkey statue slams right into them and knocked them off the deck. They all crash land in the thorn bushes below. The girls all groaned in pain as the thorns gently and painfully pricked their coats.

"Thank goodness these thorn bushes were here to break our fall " Twilight Sparkle groaned.

"Oh, speak for yourself!" Rarity exclaimed "Not only is my coat getting scratched but my mane is ruined!"

The rest of the girls all rolled their eyes in annoyance.

"Toby must have put traps all over his house to keep us..." Fluttershy mused. "They must be doing something that they don't want us to see..."

Rainbow Dash stood up determined "We'll we're gonna find out even if it kills us!"

Rainbow Dash heard Fluttershy's fearful whimpered and smiled at her with an assuring smile.

"Uh, which it won't, don't worry!" Rainbow Dash stated comfortingly.

"But who knows how many traps Toby's set up?" Twilight Sparkle wondered.

"Doesn't matter, we're gonna find out one way or another!" Rainbow Dash declared. "Watch!"

Rainbow Dash flew back onto the deck and attempts to open the door again but the others all gesture her not to do so.

"Would you chickens calm down?" Rainbow Dash whispered "The monkey statue already swung there's nothing else he can fling at us!"

Rainbow Dash walked a little closer to the door to touch the knob even firmer, but these actions, as well as her pulling an invisible string near the door cause another trap to activate. Rainbow hears a sound behind her and gains a flat look on her face when she sees what it is.

"Oh, pony..."

Before she could finish three straps are suddenly fired from out of nowhere, hit Rainbow and pin her to a nearby tree. The others grimace.

"Ok, this means WAR!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

---

Later, all five guys were up in Toby's house with the record player playing a very catch tune which made all five of them dance happily whilst eating some of the delicious munchies.

"Yeah, rock on my brothers!" Toby said. Toby then poured apple cider into five cups. "Apple cider?"

"Yeah!" The guys cheered.

Outside Rainbow was flying further and further away from Toby's door, preparing to zoom right towards it.

The girls all stared at her, Twilight just stared at her blankly.

"Really?" she asked in a deadpan tone "This is how your gonna be able to see what they are doing?"

"You got a better idea?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Every idea, is better than this idea," Twilight Sparkle stated.

"Not to mention if you do fly straight towards the door you'll give us away!" Applejack pointed out.

"Yeah, but I don't care what it take, I'm gonna find out what their up to no matter what!" Rainbow Dash proclaimed.

"Yay..." Fluttershy cheered quietly.

Rainbow then began to zoom straight towards the door, as she did so all five of the guys were taking a long drink of their apple cider all at once. One by one they each let out a loud burp, each one was more louder than the last. When it finally came to Toby, he launched an earth-shaking burp that blew back everyone's manes, knocked down a few trees, almost shook the fur off a pair of squirrels outside and blasted Rainbow far away from the house, she screamed as she flew off. Fluttershy covered her mouth with her hoof. Even in Golden Oaks Library, Sophia can hear the loud belch. She decided to see what the Mane Six were up to.

Back in the house, Toby sighed as he wiped his mouth and smiled satisfied, "I've always wanted to do that," he admitted.

The guys were all stunned into silence and also look impressed.

"Whoa, nice one!" Snips said.

"Yeah, that guy deserves to be captain," Snails added.

"Eeyup!" Big McIntosh nodded.

"You got my vote," Spike stated.

Toby bowed proudly then noticed the cracked windows.

"Whoo, that was more powerful than I thought " Toby remarked as he closed the window curtains "Good thing nopony was on the receiving end of that,"

"Yeah, that's for sure!" Snails agreed.

But unknown to any of them, somepony was on the receiving end of that, and now Rainbow herself was hanging upside down in a tree with her eyes rolling around and around in her head, dazed.

"Um, what's Plan B?" Fluttershy asked meekly.

---

A little while afterwards, in the house, the guys were all gathered in a circle, each telling each other their most embarrassing moment in their life while the others laughed and mocked them for it, playfully.

"I'm sorry, you and Snails got stuck together due to a gum chewing accident?" Toby asked the school aged colts in an amused tone.

"Yeah, we even made the front page of the school paper!" Snips said, Snails nodded in agreement.

"Oh yeah, I still have that article," Spike said "Ah, that picture cracks me up every time,"

"Now was this before or after Big Mac here got caught with Twi's Smarty Pants doll?" Toby questioned, Big Mac hid his embarrassed blush.

"Oh, that was a little while before then," Spike replied.

"And long before Rarity made you wear that funny outfit for the Grand Galloping Gala!" Snails pointed out amused, Spike blushed, "Yeah, Sweetie Belle, told us everything,"

"So how'd the blond wig feel?" Snips asked. Both boys started rolling on the floor laughing.

"Man, I would pay a whole lot of bits to see that!" Toby stated.

"Yeah, well, at least I didn't accidentally walk into the girl's bathroom!" Spike said defensively "Right, Toe?"

Toby blushed "I was five, it was kindergarten!" he exclaimed, the other guys laughed, "Ha-ha, funny, yeah that's very funny,"

Outside, the girls were quietly and cautiously approaching the house from the ground level. They all look up toward it.

"Ok, here is my plan, I'll use my magic to pick Toby's lock, open it a crack and allow us to take a quick peek inside," Twilight Sparkle explained.

"Alright sugarcube, get to it," Applejack told her.

Twilight nodded, magically levitated a small and thin and aimed it slowly towards the lock on Toby's door.

---

Back inside, while they were still laughing a thought popped into Spike's head that made him think about something.

"Hey Toe, what if Twilight uses her magic to pick your lock in order for her and the girl's to take a peek inside?" Spike inquired "That is, if their dumb enough to try and spy on us, of course,"

"Relax, that won't happen," Toby assured him "And if it did I have protection,"

The guys raise a brow at Toby.

Meanwhile, Twilight was just about to pick the lock on Toby's door with the twig when suddenly she along with the rest of the gang heard a rustling noise in the tree branches above them, which made Twilight stop moving the twig.

All of a sudden a large, 50-foot long purple python dropped down and landed in front of them. It hissed at them, baring it's razor sharp fangs. All six of them screamed and ran off to hide in the bushes. The snake slithered away.

Back in the house, Toby had just finished explaining what exactly his 'protection' was to the rest of the guys.

"You got a guard python," Spike asked baffled.

Snails looked nervous "Uh, please tell us it's not your pet..."

"Heck no it's not!" Toby replied, "It's just a big snake I found in the Everfree Forest and instructed to scare of anypony who used magic, nothing more. My real pet is over there."

Toby gestured to a small fish bowl where a gold fish was doing laps around and around the water filled bowl. It had magenta lips and blue eyes.

"A fish?" Snips asked.

Toby nodded "Yep, her name's Irene, she's easy to take care, attentive and doesn't bite, pretty cool huh?"

"Eeyup," Big McIntosh agreed.

"What about that squirrel over there?" Snails asked, pointing to a brown squirrel with a black stripe on its back sitting on the couch nibbling on an acorn.

"That's just Sophia's pet. His name is Chestnut. He doesn't eat a lot although he has a craving for fruit," Toby said.

"Oh hey, guess what?" Spike said "I just happen to know some pretty embarrassing stories about the girls that nopony knows about,"

The guys all look at him interested.

"You do?" Toby asked intrigued.

Spike nods "It pays to spend so much time with a bunch of girls," he said "But don't tell them about it,"

Snails shook his head "Oh we won't tell, will we?"

"Nnope," Big McIntosh stated.

"Well don't just sit there, tell us!" Snips exclaimed enthusiastically.

"Ok, well, here's a little secret about Twilight..." Spike started to say before whispering something into each of the guys ears that made them laugh hysterically.

"And man, don't get me started on Applejack," Spike continued.

Outside, the girls were all approaching the house once again. They all look absolutely tired, worn out and had multiple scratches and bruises but also determined looks on their faces.

"We're not giving up yet," Twilight Sparkle declared "We're gonna find out what their talking about if it kills us!"

Fluttershy squeaked, worried.

"Which it won't," Twilight Sparkle assured her, this seemed to have calmed Fluttershy down "Come on girls, let's get inside,"

On the very other side of the house, three figures were also approaching the houses with determined and nasty looks on their faces.

"Come on boys, let's get inside," One of them said.

The girls cautiously and slowly approach the house from one side, while the mysterious figures approached it from the other side in the same manner.

"Ok, everypony be careful," Twilight Sparkle whispered "We all know now that Toby has set traps all over to keep us out for some reason so whatever you do watch your-"

A 'twang' sound is heard. Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow each turned their heads to Pinkie, who was at the back of the line, and saw that she has just pulled a thin wire in front of her. They all glared at her.

Pinkie smiled nervously "Oops,"

And just like that the sound of a cannon was heard and all six of them were sent flying into the bush they were previously hiding in, and were now all tied up in ribbons and wrapped up like a present.

"Well this is a sticky situation..." Applejack remarked.

"Yes, but on the plus side these ribbons are just to die for, wouldn't you all say?" Rarity questioned, they all gave her a look that said 'Are you serious?' "Oh, apologizes,"

They later noticed Sophia who had an annoyed expression on her face and her arms crossed. "What did I tell you?" she said.

The Mane Six looked at her with sheepish smiles.

Back in the house, all five of the boys were rolling on the floor laughing their heads off after Spike told them yet another embarrassing secret about one of the girls.

"Oh man, how could she not hear or feel it flapping?" Snips asked with a chuckle.

"Ho, ho, man it sounds like an episode of Pranked," Toby said, they all look at him confused "It's a long story, can we please hear another secret, Spike?"

Spike nodded "Sure thing,"

He whispered something else into each of their ears that made them laugh even harder. Snails held his gut, due to it throbbing from all the laughing.

"Oh, my gut!" he choked, he felt another sharp pain as he continued to laugh "My other gut!"

"Ok, ok, let's stop before somepony has a heart attack," Toby breathed.

Big McIntosh chuckled and nodded "Eeyup,"

"And remember boys, none of this leaves this house, ever," Toby told them, they all nod in agreement "And now for the next thing on the agenda, oh crud, I'm turning into Twi. anyways, the next thing is something I always wanted to do,"

"What's that?" Spike inquired.

Before they knew it Toby had zoomed up the stairs to the next floor and back again wearing what appeared to be make-shift football gear. The guys raise a brow.

"INDOOR FOOTBALL!" Toby shouted before charging and tackling Big McIntosh like a football player.

Spike shrugged "Works for me!"

Spike, along with Snips and Snails all dived bombed Toby and Big Mac. They all ended up in a pile. Then the doorbell suddenly went off. The boys raise their heads.

"Who could that be?" Snips asked.

"You...you think it's the girls?" Snails questioned nervously.

"No way, using the doorbell? It's too obvious!" Spike stated.

Toby got up "He's right, but don't worry it can't be anybody worse than the girls," he said as he walked over and opened the door and right on the other side of it were three tall teenage dragons, their leader being the dragon known as Garble. Toby yelped and slammed the door shut. He backed away as Garble knocked the door down and stepped inside.

Garble was a tall, adolescent dragon, with dull maroon scales. He had pinkish freckles and yellow spikes which end in a webbed crest on his head similar. His eyes were yellow with purple pupils, and he had yellow, slightly torn wings.

Two other dragons step inside also. One was skinny and had purple and yellow scales while the other was large and bulky and had brown and blue scales.

The others all hid behind Toby. Spike recognized Garble, which made his pupils shrink in fear.

Garble pointed at Toby "You! Are you one of those humans that all the dragons are telling stories about?" he asked.

Toby nodded slowly "Yes, can I help you?"

Garble started to look mad but instead he actually looked impressed, "Well nice one dude! Anyone who can take out a dragon is definitely someone I'd like to meet! And also we heard this was an open house so we decided to drop in and join in the girl avoiding activities!" he explained.

Toby raised a brow "Open house?"

"Yeah, that's what the flyers said alright," Garble nodded.

"I didn't put out any flyers," Toby stated.

"Well somebody did, " The dragon told him, he leaned in and looked him fiercely in the eye, "You calling me a liar, punk?"

Toby shook his head, scared.

"Good," Garble said as he took Toby's head, picked up him and placed him a few feet to the side.

"Now where's the grub?" Garble asked as he and his goons made their way to the food table. Toby and the others stare at them horrified as they started to gobble up all their food, including the table.

Toby turned to Spike "Did you invite them?" he asked.

"Nuh-uh! The girls told you what happened the last time I hung out with these guys!" Spike exclaimed quietly "They tried to make me smash a phoenix egg!"

Toby turned to Big Mac "Did you?"

Big McIntosh shook his head "Nnope,"

"Well I didn't invite them, anypony whose insults the girls OR the Princess deserves to rot in the sack, now who-" Toby started before he, Big Mac and Spike slowly turned to Snips and Snails with sour looks on their faces. The two kids smile sheepishly.

"Well..." Snails started to say.

"You see the thing is..." Snips continued.

"Alright you two dummies, spill," Toby ordered. "What. Did you two. Do?"

"We're sorry, ok!? It's just..." Snips said.

"We, we were so excited about hanging out with you and stuff we wanted to let everypony know so we..." Snails started.

"Put up flyers?" Spike finished with a raised brow.

The two unicorn males nod slowly. The others groaned and did a face palm/hoof.

"Ok, ok, let's not panic here," Toby told them "I mean, what's the worst thing that they can do, right? Let's just play this out for as long as we can, let them have their way and when we get the opportunity, we'll kick them out, simple,"

"Oh you don't know Garble, he won't leave easily," Spike told him.

"Then I won't let him off easily," Toby stated "Just stay calm, I'll handle this,"

Toby slowly approached the still chowing down dragons and tapped one of them on the shoulder.

"Uh, excuse me? You know you're eating part of the table right?" Toby questioned, the big dragon glared at him.

"Never look me in the eye," he said threateningly.

The human turned away, wide eyed ,"Message received."

Spike stepped forward, "So, Garble, what brings you to Ponyville? I thought you hated ponies and me for that matter,"

"Oh, we still do, and we still think this town is full of namby-pamby pony sissies," Garble stated.

Garble's words seemed to anger Toby a great deal. His fists shook and trembled with fury as he struggled to contain his rage.

"But, your still a rookie dragon and once a rookie dragon, always a rookie dragon," Garble continued as he roughly noogied Spike "Plus we dragons are always up for a party, even if it is full of namby-pamby ponies,"

Toby's eyes flash bright blue as his anger increased. Big McIntosh put a hoof on Toby's shoulder.

"Easy there, Toe, easy," Big McIntosh said slowly in an attempt to calm his ten year old friend down. Toby look a deep breath and sighed deeply. He gave his stallion friend a thankful nod.

"Ooh, I almost forgot!" Garble realized "There's one more reason why we're here,"

"And what's that?" Snips asked nervously.

"Simple, we're gonna kidnap that namby-pamby pony Princess," Garble replied. Toby and the other's eyes all widen with shock.

"Uh-oh..." They all breathed out quietly.

"Boy, ponynapping the Princess, that's pretty insane, dude," Toby told the red dragon.

"Yeah, but think of how much gems we'll get!" Garble said rubbing his claws together with a greedy look on his face "And you guys are gonna help us,"

"And why would we do something like that?" Toby asked folding his arms.

"Because if you don't, we'll do this to your precious little town," Garble replied before breathing out a ball of fire and firing the table, before it was reduced to a pile of ash. The guys gulped.

The skinny dragon looked out the window.

"Hey Garble! I think I see something!" he said.

"What is it?" Garble asked impatiently.

"It's six ponies all wrapped up in ribbons in that bush over there. There's also another human standing beside them," The skinny dragon responded.

"The girls..." Toby and Spike moaned.

Garble turned to the big dragon "Yo, teach those ponies a lesson, would ya? And just ignore that other human,"

The big dragon nodded and headed for the door, then Toby zoomed over and stood in front of him.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you don't need to waste your time dealing with them," he said "I'll... I'll get them, yeah, I'll put them in the closet upstairs and, and we'll decide what to do with them after,"

Garble growled "Alright fine, but no tricks!"

Toby saluted "Got it! By the way, tricks are for kids,"

Toby zoomed out the door and jumped down to the ground level. Garble and his buddies look at the others confused and dumbfounded.

"Yeah he's, he's like that," Spike said nervously. Big Mac and the two colts nodded.

---

Meanwhile, Rainbow was struggling hard to free herself from the wrapping and ribbons that bound her tightly. Using her wings to push the wrapping, she managed to use her wings to tear through part of the wrapping.

"Yes! Finally!" she cheered "Now I can..."

Before she could finish, Toby suddenly appeared in front of her and put his hand on her mouth before shushing her. He wrapped some extra ribbons around each of their mouths, picked them all up and jumped back up on to the deck of the house. He told Sophia to stay hidden until he called her. Once he arrived back at the tree house, he kicked open the door and entered, everypony turned to him.

"Ok, I got them," Toby said, he turned to Spike, Snips, Snails and Big Mac "You four, help me carry these ponies that we don't know, to the closet!"

The guys nodded "Uh, right, right!"

The all ran over and each held up one end of the package that the girls were wrapped in.

"Uh, why don't you guys make yourselves at home while take care of them?" Spike inquired.

"Cool, but be quick, cause our little operation is going down tonight," Garble stated.

The guys saluted once more "Roger!"

They all began to carry the girls up the stairs towards the closet, as they did so the girls screamed and shouted in protest but all their cries were muffled by the ribbons around their mouths.

The guys soon arrived at Toby's closet. They opened the door, turned on the light and tossed the girls inside before stepping inside as well. Twilight make some grunting noises that sounded like she was saying 'What are you guys doing?'

"We'll explain later," Toby told her.

Spike turned to Toby "Dude, what the hay are we gonna do?"

"I-I don't know! I'm thinking, I'm thinking!" Toby exclaimed stressed.

"But I don't wanna ponynap the Princess..." Snips whimpered.

Snails nodded rapidly.

Twilight made even louder grunts that sounded like 'PONYNAP THE PRINCESS!?'

"Ok, nopony's ponynapping anypony,!?" Toby said "We just got to get these goons out of my house!"

"How?" Snails asked.

Toby thought for a moment then an idea popped into his head "We're gonna scare them out!"

"Scare them out?" Big McIntosh questioned.

"Uh, Toby? I don't know if you know this but these guys are teenage dragons!" Spike exclaimed. "They don't scared easily either!"

"Look, from what I can tell these guys don't seem to be that bright," Toby said "So all we have to is make the scary stuff look scary and they'll buy it,"

"Ooh..." Snips and Snails said understandingly.

"And to top it off, Spike will have to go 'Super Dragon' on them." Toby mused.

Spike and the girl's looked shocked.

"What?" Spike questioned.

The girls made a grunt that sounded like 'WHAT?'

"Dude, you heard about what happened the last time I went 'Super Dragon', I nearly destroyed the town and ponynapped Rarity!" Spike stated in a slightly panicky tone.

"I also heard you were able to beat The Wonderbolts, you could totally take these guys!" Toby told him.

"But, but what if I lose control...I...I don't want to hurt anyone." Spike said, close to tearing up.

"Don't worry bro, you'll only have to transform for a few seconds and then it's over, just concentrate and think about your friends, ok?" Toby said to him. Spike looked up as Toby's confident face and nodded.

"So, what are we gonna use to scary 'em?" Big McIntosh asked.

"Um hey, Snips, Snails, you guys wouldn't have happened to bring your magic kit would you?" Toby inquired.

"Uh, yeah, but-" Snips started.
"It's downstairs..." Snails finished with a whimper "With the dragons."

"No prob, back in a flash!" Toby said before zooming out of the closet, down the stairs and to the first floor where he quickly snatched Snips and Snails magic kit and zoomed back up and to the dragons they saw nothing and only felt a strong breeze.

"Ok, who opened a window?" Garble questioned, annoyed. The other two dragons shrugged.

Toby soon arrived back in the closet "Ok, I got the magic stuff, let's do some scaring!" he said.

"What about them?" Big McIntosh asked gesturing to the still tied up girls, who were all struggling to free themselves.

"Uh, here," Toby said as he took a ball of yarn off the shelf "Play with this yarn,"

Toby tossed them the yarn then he and the guys all exit the closet and close it behind them, leaving the girls to struggle and grunt while Pinkie just bounced the ball of yarn on her nose like a seal, much to the girls' chagrin.

---

Back down stairs the teen dragons were beginning to grow impatient and angry, they were so angry and impatient in fact that they didn't notice Toby and the guys peering down on them.

"Ok, is everypony clear on the plan?" Toby whispered.

Spike nodded, "Yep! Snips is gonna wet himself, I'm gonna throw up, Snails is gonna run away, Big Mac is gonna faint and you're going to die,"

Toby glared at Spike, unamused. "Ha-ha, seriously, you guys know what to do?"

"Eeyup," Big McIntosh responded.

"Ok, be ready with the fake blood," Toby told them, and with that the five males got ready to pull off their plan.

"Man, what's taking them so long?" The big dragon asked.

"Calm down, they'll be here in a second," Garble told him "If they know what's good for them that is,"

The surfer dragon spoke up "Uh, Garble? How exactly do we plan on ponynapping the Princess anyway?" he asked.

"Simple, we go in, grab her and make sure she can't use her precious magic while those guys hold of the guards," Garble explained. "Then..."

Before he could finish they heard and then saw Toby and the others making their way down the stairs, they seem to be arguing.

"Hey, you said we'd be the one to grab the Princess!" Snips shouted.

When they reached the ground both Spike and Toby pushed Snips, Snails and Big Mac back. They all stood behind the couch.

"We're calling the shots here, we get to nap the Princess!" Toby exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Spike added.

"Yeah? Well maybe we're sick of you calling the shots!" Snails proclaimed "Right, Big Mac?"

"Eeyup!" Big McIntosh nodded with a frown.

"Hey, hey, guys, cool it would you?" Garble asked, he seemed to be a bit startled by their yelling but was doing his best to hide it. Toby held up his hand in front of Garble, gesturing him to be quiet. He turned to Snips, Snails and Big McIntosh.

"Look, we're gonna grab the Princess and you guys are gonna shut your muzzles, got it?" Toby told them.

"Yeah? And whose gonna make us?" Snips asked with a cocky tone.

Spike grabbed them "Us!"

"Oh, not again!" Snails cried as Spike and Toby pulled him, Snips and Big Mac to the ground.

"Whoa, dudes take it easy now!" The skinny dragon exclaimed in a panicky tone.

Toby and Spike then grabbed two bananas and started to seemingly wack Snips, Snails and Big McIntosh with them.

"Whoa! Don't beat those guys up with bananas!" Garble said.

Spike and Toby then grabbed what appeared to be the forearms of the three colts they 'beat up' and seemingly ripped them off, much to the horror and shock the three dragons.

"They ripped their arms off!" The big dragon proclaimed.

Then to make them even more scared both Toby and Spike began to chew and bite the flesh off the 'forearms' of Snips, Snails and Big Mac.

"And their now their eating them!" The surfer dragon yelled.

"You guys are messed up! Let's get out of here!" Garble shouted as he and his friends flew out the door. Snips, Snails and Big McIntosh then stood up, completely unharmed and smiling.

"We did it!" Snips and Snails cried.

"Eeyup!" Big McIntosh nodded.

"Alright, now for the Pièce de Résistance," Toby said, he turned to Spike "You ready for this?"

Spike let out a long sigh "Let's find out!"

Toby smiled proudly at his friend and nodded before walking to the open door. He could see the teen dragons still trying to fly off, called for Sophia, and then they used their magic to pull them all back and fling them to the ground, much to their horror. They crashed landed near the house and looked up to see Toby standing over them. They scream in fear.

"Relax guys, we're not gonna hurt you," Toby assured them "All we want to do is offer you a joke,"

Garble quickly managed to regain what little bravado he had left and stood up to face Toby. While he was doing that Spike was watching from behind a tree. He shut his eyes tightly, groaned a bit and when he opened his eyes again his pupils slit like a reptile's.

"What's 50 feet tall and eats teenage dragons?" Toby asked causally.

"What?" Garble inquired angrily.

Sophia pointed upwards and behind her and Toby, "Him," she said.

Garble and his friends hear loud stomping behind them, turn around and to their horror they saw Spike in his 50 foot tall dragon form, which he first took on when he became consumed with dragon greed, growling angrily at them.

The teenage dragons backed away in fear as giant Spike growled at them while Toby and Sophia just stood there with pleased looks on their face.s

"You're not laughing," Toby told them, calmly.

Super Dragon Spike let out a loud and belligerent roar that blew all the trees in the area back as well as frightened the dragons but Toby and Sophia just stood his ground, smiling with the former's arms folded and the latter's right hand on her hips. He waved to the teen dragons.

"Bye-bye," they said.

Garble and his friends turn to him confused and then a split second later super Spike whacked them with his tail and sent them flying into the distance. Toby and Sophia watched as they flew off while Spike shrank back down to normal size. His pupils slit for a bit once more but revert back to normal when Spike starts to groan and shake his head, he quickly snapped out of it.

"Come one, come all, before your very eyes!" Toby proclaimed dramatically, "Equestria's first ever, cowardly flying lizards!"

"Yeah! That's how we roll!" Spike exclaimed.

"You know it," Toby nodded, he held out his fist "Top shelf!"

"Top shelf!" Spike said as he leaped up and pounded Toby's fist with his own with sheer joy on his face. Toby, Sophia, and Spike both laughed happily while Celestia's sun began to rise behind them in the distance.

---

Later that day, as the various animals of the forest began to awake from their slumber and the birds began to fly off to who knows where. Toby, Sophia, and Spike were facing the Mane Six outside Toby and Spike's home. The six ponies all had guilty looks on their faces and the boys and Sophia both had their arms folded.

"So, did you guys know the whole time?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

Toby nodded "Eeyup,"

Spike nodded as well "Sure did,"

"How'd you know it was us?" Fluttershy questioned.

"Well, we knew sooner or later you guys would want to know what we were up to," Spike responded.

"Plus we all heard what sounded like a bunch of new born foals crying and screaming all night long," Toby added "Were those screaming and crying foals you guys?"

The girls looked a bit embarrassed and rubbed the backs of their heads.

"Uh, sort of..." Rarity started to say.

"Maybe..." Applejack said slowly.

"Hey! I did not cry!" Rainbow Dash proclaimed before pausing for a second "I only scream but only a scream! Got it!?"

"Look, we're really sorry you guys," Twilight Sparkle said "We let our curiosity get the better of us..."

"Which also made us set off a lot of traps," Pinkie Pie added.

Toby groaned "Why am I not surprised?"

"Please don't be mad," Fluttershy pleaded.

"Aw, don't worry you guys," Spike assured "It's no big deal, plus we had the greatest night of our lives!"

"Whoa, really?" Twilight Sparkle inquired.

"Yep, we got to have fun with our fellow males, send a bunch of bully dragons flying and well let's just say we all now have something on all of you," Toby admitted "But we're not saying what, that would ruin the fun,"

The Mane 6 all exchanged glances of worry and confusion while the guys snickered to themselves.

"You six should be a lot like me: always respecting everpony's privacy," Sophia stated.

"So, you guys ready to hang out?" Spike asked.

"Huh?" The Mane Six all asked.

"We did say we'd hang out with you guys after we had our guys night didn't we?" Spike pointed out.

"Wait, so after totally disobeying your request to leave you alone, you still want to hang out with us?" Applejack asked in disbelief.

"Of course! Yes, you six girls can be a headache sometimes," Toby started to say, which made the girls faces all fall "But things just wouldn't be the same if we didn't hang with our six greatest friends in the world,"

The girls all smiled sweetly at the guys, which they returned before the nine of them gave each other a big group hug. Rarity squealed happily. After a few minutes or so, they released each other from their group embrace.

"So, whose up for a bite at Sugarcube Corner?" Toby asked.

"You buying?" Rainbow Dash inquired.

Toby nodded "Of course,"

"I'll race ya!" Pinkie Pie cried as she zoomed off.

Toby shook his head, amused and zoomed after her. Rainbow Dash soon followed.

"Wait for me!" she cried.

The rest of the girls and Spike all laugh amused and happy before chasing after their friends. When all nine of them finally caught up with each other, all started to walk together with Toby wrapping his arms around two of them while walking back towards Ponyville.
