Movie Night
Chapter 2: Prank Calls and Eggs
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Hello, this is Al's Repair Shop. What's your problem?" A rough-voiced pony, who the kids assumed was Al asked from the other end of the line.
Racer began to speak, "Hi, I need help. A few weeks ago, I was in Manehatten and I was walking in a dark, abandoned ally and I came across a pony in a mask who made me buy his carriage. So I did, and I got it back to my house. It sat there for a couple of weeks. I was just going to clean it, but now I realize there is dry poop stuck in the tires and it won't move and I can't get it out. I think the poop was fresh when I bought it so I think it dried over time. What do I do?"
Al replied, "Um..."
The rest of the ponies chuckled.
"Try using a hammer to crack the poop, maybe chunks will fall out." Al responded.
"Okay, give me a few minutes." Racer said, and made noise to make it seem like he was busy. Finally he pounded his hoof on the wall and exclaimed, "Holy crap, the crap took off the wheel with it!"
"Okay, sir, calm down. Try to scrape it out and re-attach the wheel." Al said.
"Okay, um...AH! APART OF THE WHEEL BROKE! THE POOP IS LIKE ONE WITH THE WHEEL!" Racer shouted.
Mascaran burst out laughing, and then Racer quickly ended the call.
"Mascaran!" Everypony exclaimed
"Sorry!" she giggled.
Trackee rolled her eyes.
"I have an idea..." Rainbow said, giggling, "Dial in a random number. I got this."
So Racer did. And the pony picked up. "Hello, who is this?" it was a middle-aged mare.
"You don't recognize me?" Rainbow asked.
"Dusty, is that you? I thought you were sleeping over at Midnight's! Is something wrong?" the mare replied.
"Yeah. Well, the real reason why I slept over there is because I need to tell you something. But I couldn't tell you in pony. So listen to me, please." Rainbow responded.
"What is it, Dusty? You're my daughter. You can tell me anything."
"Well...I'm-I'm...pregnant." Rainbow stammered.
The entire group choked back a laugh.
"WHAT?!" the mare screamed, "DUSTY!"
"Mom, I'm sorry." Rainbow whimpered.
"I'M PICKING YOU UP FROM MIDNIGHT'S RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE A TON OF EXPLAINING TO DO!" the mare screamed again.
"Wait, mom, I was joking! Midnight dared me to." Rainbow wanted to save the innocent mare trouble.
"What?! Dusty, you nearly gave me a heart attack!" the mare cried.
"Sorry mom. G'night. Trust me- I'm not pregnant." Rainbow replied, and hung up.
The entire group burst out laughing.
"What if she really was pregnant, and right after we called her mom, she called her mom to tell her she was pregnant?" Helping asked.
"That'd be so weird and funny." Cheerleader replied, and Trackee nodded.
A few prank calls later, there was a ring on the doorbell. "Pizza!" a colt said from the outside.
"I'll get it. You guys wait down here." said Volleyball Spike, and she trotted up the stairs.
When Volley returned, she said, "There's ten pieces. One for each of us."
Everypony ate their piece and drank another soda.
"Now what?" asked Sprinter, "We've prank called, watched movies, and ate pizza."
Soarin got a mischievous look on his face.
"What's your idea, Soarin?" Rainbow asked.
"Well, we can egg houses..." he started to say.
"I remember egging houses when I was like, six. I got bored so I just did." Rainbow replied.
"I've egged houses before, too. In fifth grade." said Sprinter.
"I've only tipi'ed before." said Volley.
"Well, should we?" asked Soarin.
"Only at the houses where we don't like certain ponies." Helping said.
Everypony else nodded in agreement.
"My parents would wonder where the eggs are, though." Volley said.
"We can get more eggs at 7/11. Do they have eggs?" Sprinter asked.
"I don't think so." Mascaran replied.
"Whatever. Let's do it!" exclaimed Volley.
Excitedly, everypony trotted up the stairs and Volley grabbed the eggs.
"We have two full cartons. I'll give each pony two and save the other four." she said, as she handed the ponies their eggs.
"Who's houses should we do?" Cheerleader asked.
"I say ShinyHoof's, Barkling's, then Northway's." Rainbow said.
Everypony nodded, and Trackee said, "We can use the two extra eggs on Barkling's. He's the worst."
"Yeah." Racer agreed.
"Alright, let's go. Don't get caught." Volley said.
The group left the house. It was late now, the sun was just starting to set.
"Who first?" Rainbow asked as Volley lead them behind the group of Cloudsdale trees, which were planted with a spell that allowed them to grow on clouds.
"Shiny's. She's closest." said Racer.
"Let's wait until the moon rises. It'll only be about ten minutes." Trackee said, looking at the sky.
Ponies were starting to get into their homes. Although school nights no longer existed until late August, you had to be careful of the certain gaps in the clouds in the city, or if you were too close to the edge of the city, you could fall and not see below. Most flying deaths were from flying from Cloudsdale at night and not being able to see where the ground is. Since Cloudsdale was so high up in the air, a pegasus could easily kill his or herself trying to leave the city at night, where barely any light was provided.
Everypony knew the risk, but it was unlikely they'd fall into a gap in the clouds or find themselves falling off an edge. Only if they were drunk, then it would be very bad.
"So, what are you guys doing over the summer?" Helping Paw asked.
"Nothing." Hoop replied.
Everypony nodded in agreement.
"We can always get together and hang out." Rainbow remarked. Prank calling had been fun, and if Soarin wasn't so clingy, then the movie-watching would've been even more fun. Thing was, Volley's parents didn't know about Volley's get together. If her parents found out she invited stallions, four of them to be exact, they would go berserk. At least they left for the night.
"So, can you believe it guys? In the fall, we're going to high school." Mascaran reminded.
"I know right? What classes did you take, Mascaran?" Cheerleader asked.
After a few minutes of talking about future classes, the moon had fully risen.
"Now let's go. Stay behind trees." Volley reminded.
Quickly, she lead the group behind the trees in ShinyHoof's backyard. Their house was pitch black.
"Man, they go to bed early." said Racer.
Rainbow wondered what time it was, eight at night maybe? They got home from school at one, everypony arrived at about three, the movie ended at about five, and they prank called and pizza and had conversations for about an hour. It was only seven something?
"Okay, here's what I know from experience," Soarin began, and everypony turned their attention to him, "Aim for the things the most noticeable, and don't aim close together. If somepony can get close enough, smash an egg on the doorknob."
"Alright." and "Okay." and "Sure thing." went through the voices of the ponies.
"Now!" Volley whisper-yelled.
A few eggs were thrown at the house. Not many, only six. Racer managed to sneak up and crack an egg on the backdoor knob.
Rainbow wished they had more eggs.
"Alright, Northway's house, go!" Quickly and quietly as possible, Volley lead her pack down the neighborhood streets to Northway's house. The walk was longer than Rainbow expected. It had to be about seven-thirty now.
The lights in Northway's house were still on, and bright. Suddenly, cringing singing came from the room; which was obviously Northway's; a tan mare with blonde hair and blue eyes was singing into a hairbrush. She was pretty, but she was also pretty talent less.
The group hid behind the trees, then something clicked in Soarin's head.
"Oh no...it's her..." he mumbled.
"What?" Rainbow asked, "We mentioned her name before we even went egging houses. Why are you suddenly realizing something?"
"I wasn't really paying attention, honestly. But now that I see her-" Soarin pointed at the cringe-worth singing mare, "She's had a crush on me the entire school year. She would never leave me alone. She would stuff love letters into my locker and send me candy. I never ate it though, because who knows what's in it?"
"What'd she get you on Hearts and Hooves Day?" Hoop asked.
"She handed me roses and chocolates and cards and then tried to kiss me right before the bell rang to go home. I managed to fly away though." Soarin replied, "There's no way I'm getting close to that...thing."
Then suddenly, the singing stopped, and the mare walked out of her room and into the backyard. She didn't notice the group. She sat on a swinging chair that could hold two ponies.
"Oh, Soarin. It's so nice of you to have come sit next to me on such a good night like this one." She said to an imaginary Soarin.
Rainbow shoved her hoof into her mouth to prevent from exploding from laughter. The rest chuckled a bit, while Soarin's face went hot red from embarrassment.
Then Northway made a stallion-voice as if she were talking for a toy, "Yes, I know, Northway! There is no other mare in the entire world than I would rather be with than you."
Soarin was burning hot red now. He would, for a fact, rather be with any other mare in the world but Northway.
Rainbow Dash fell to the ground, holding her breath so she didn't laugh.
"I know, Soarin. I love to call you my coltfriend. Kiss me!" She puckered her lips and kissed the imaginary Soarin.
Then she had a make-out session. You could see her tongue flicking out of her mouth and moving in random directions.
Rainbow couldn't anymore. She burst.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" she laughed.
Then she realized her mistake as Northway's eyes widened and pupils shrank. Then her face turned to anger and she leapt into the direction of the sound.
There she stood, in front of an amused Rainbow mare. Then she noticed the others. Some she knew from the school year. Then she saw him; Soarin.
"SOARIN! YOU CAME TO ME, I KNEW YOU WOULD!"
Rainbow got up. Man she's dumb.
"No...I didn't come for you... at all." Soarin muttered.
"Kiss me, baby!" and she closed her eyes and puckered her lips.
"RUN!" Soarin screamed.
The group didn't need to know anymore. They took for the sky.
"Soarin?! I thought you loved me!" Northway cried as she took after the group.
Rainbow then realized she was still holding her eggs. Quickly, not even looking where she threw, she threw them both, and then she heard an angry scream.
The eggs managed to hit Northway. Rainbow looked back and laughed. Yolk was running down her mane and legs.
Some of the flyers in the group weren't as fast as the others, though. Helping Paw and Mascaran found themselves lagging behind, and Northway caught up to them. Soarin was long gone in the front of the group, with the rest of the pegasi next to him.
When the pegasi finally reached Volley's house, they galloped inside, taking dramatic quick breaths.
"Where's Mascaran and Helping?" Trackee asked as she caught her breath.
The entire group's face went pale.
"Northway probably captured them! She's crazy, she might be torturing them right now!" Hoop said in major concern.
"Well let's not just be worried about it, let's go rescue them!" Rainbow exclaimed, and unlocked the door and soared out.
This was her fault. She had to fix it.
She soared all the way back to Northway's house, without realizing the others at her tail.
She landed, and looked in the backyard and in the front and house sides. Nothing. They must be inside. But how the hay did one pony win against two?
Rainbow didn't even bother knocking. She tried opening the door but it was locked. Growling in anger, she searched for an open window. Fortunately, Northway's window was open. Rainbow busted through the screen and landed in the too-much-pink room.
She then saw the rest of her friends slip through the window, she gasped, thinking Northway had found her.
"Don't worry, Rainbow, it's just us. Let's get Mascaran and Helping out as soon as possible." Volley said.
"Okay." Rainbow let out a breath of relief.
"Quiet, guys. We don't want her knowing we're here." Rainbow said as her and Volley lead the friends into the hallway.
Rainbow just noticed how large the house was. Normally a hallway with eight ponies in it would be crowded, but it wasn't. Overwhelming pictures of Northway covered the walls.
These parents must really spoil her.
Then suddenly there was a creak in the floorboards.
Everypony stared with wide eyes.
Then, through one of the vents, they heard voices screaming. "Help! She's making us have a Starbucks and iPone party! She won't stop playing Justin Beaver and One Deerection!"
It had to be Mascaran's voice.
Then through the screams, the ponies could hear, "If I was your Coltfriend" playing.
"Shut up, or else I'll have to duct tape your muzzles shut and you won't be able to drink your Chai Latte!" screamed Northway.
There was just background music after that.
"Okay, I have an idea." Rainbow began, "We're going to give Northway what she wants. Soarin. So I'l-"
"I'm not getting near that crazy bitch!" Soarin screamed.
"Soarin, listen to me!" Rainbow exclaimed, "Anyways, Soarin knocks on the door, and he uses his voice, being all, 'I love you' and stuff. If Northway hears his voice, she'll surely let him in. Say you have a surprise for her, and tell her to go to the bottom of the stairs and wait, and that you'll close and lock the door for her. So Soarin will let me in, and he'll come down the stairs while I wait at the top. Mascaran and Helping Paw will be down there. Soarin will ask if he can take them into a closet or something. Soarin, you'll have to hold her off long enough for me to give the cue to the others. I'll unlock the basement door and let everypony in.We'll help untie them, or whatever thing is trapping them. Then when I ring the doorbell, it will show that Mascaran and Helping are a safe distance away. Then Soarin runs out of the closet, and out the basement, and out the door. Then Soarin and I fly to Volley's house. Sound like a plan?" she asked her team.
Everypony nodded.
"Alright," Rainbow said, "Let's save our friends from Northway's torture."
