Pov: Keshaun

It has been a few days since Twilight, Spike, Caleb, Justice, and I have moved to Ponyvile and saved Luna and Nightmare Moon with the Elements of Harmony. Celestia took the Elements to Canterlot in case of emergency. Right now Twilight, Spike and I were helping Applejack with some farm work.

"Thank you three kindly, for helping me out. I bet Big McIntosh I could get all these Golden Delicious in the barn by lunchtime. If I win, he's gonna walk down Stirrup Street in one of Granny's girdles. [chuckles]" Applejack said laughing a little.

"Anytime AJ. I'm just glad the goal time was around lunch." I said as my stomach growled as I was carrying 20 buckets of apples.

"Yeah. All this hard work is making me hungry." Twilight said carrying a few buckets.

"Me too." Spike said carrying 7 buckets.

"I guess we better get some food. [laughs nervously]." Twilight said as her stomach growled very loud.

"You say something?" Spike asked eating an apple.

"Spike." Twilight said a bit mad.

"What? [burp]." Spike burped as a scroll appeared.

"A letter from Celestia." I said.

Spike grabbed the scroll and started reading. "Hear ye, hear ye. Her Grand Royal Highness, Princess Celestia of Equestria, is pleased to announce the Grand Galloping Gala to be held in the magnificent capital city of Canterlot, on the 11th day of February cordially extends an invitation to Twilight Sparkle plus one guest.." Spike finished reading.

"The Grand Galloping Gala!" Applejack and Twilight said at the same time.

"Woo-hoo!" Applejack yelled.

"[burp] Look, the two tickets." Spike said as he was holding the tickets.

"Wow, great! I've never been to the gala. Have you, Spike?" Twilight asked grabbing the tickets.

"No, and I plan to keep it that way. I don't want any of that girly frilly frou-frou nonsense." Spike said.

"Aw, come on Spike. A dance would be nice." Twilight said.

"If you could get one." I said sarcastically.

"Nice? It's a heap good more than just nice. I'd love to go. Land sakes, if I had an apple stand set up, ponies would be chowin' our tasty vittles 'til the cows came home. Do you have any idea how much business I could drum up for Sweet Apple Acres? Why, with all that money, we could do a heap of fixin' up 'round here. We could replace that saggy old roof, and Big McIntosh could replace that saggy old plow." Applejack said visioning a better barn and plow.

"Why, I'd give my left hind leg just to go to that gala." Applejack said.

"Oh, well in that case, would you like to--" Twilight was about to ask before.

"Wait!" Rainbow said crashing into Twilight.

"Ugh. Are we talking about the Grand Galloping Gala?" Rainbow asked.

"Rainbow Dash. You told me you were too busy to help me harvest apples. What were you busy doing? Spyin'?" Applejack said glaring at her.

"Whoa calm down AJ. I'm sure Rainbow has perfectly reasonable excuse for not helping." I said.

"Yeah I was busy napping, and I just happened to hear that you have an extra ticket." Rainbow said.

"Yeah, but--" Twilight tried to say but was interrupted by Rainbow.

"YES! This is so awesome. The Wonderbolts perform at the Grand Galloping Gala every year. I can see it now. Everyone would be watching the sky. Their eyes riveted on the Wonderbolts, but then in would fly Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow said as she was visioning about the Wonderbolts. "I would draw their attention with my Super Speed Strut. Then, I would mesmerize 'em with my Fantastic Filly Flash. And for my grand finale, the Buccaneer Blaze! The ponies would go wild!" Rainbow said. "The Wonderbolts would insist that my signature moves be incorporated into their routine, and then welcome me as their newest member." Rainbow said as she finished visioning.

"Okay both of those reasons are great. But the tickets are Twilight's. She will give it to who she wants." I said.

"You want the ticket don't you?" Twilight asked.

"Oh fuck no." I said.

"[stomach rumbles] [chuckles] Listen to that, I am starving. I don't know about you, but I can't make important decisions on an empty stomach, so I'll, uh, think about it over lunch and get back to you two, okay?" Twilight said was we head to sugarcube corner. Twilight bumped into Pinkie.

"Gah! Bats! Bats on my face! Help!" Pinkie screamed with the tickets on her face.

"Wait, these aren't... tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala?! It's the most amazing incredible tremendous super-fun wonderful terrifically humongous party in all of Equestria! I've always always alwayswanted to go!" Pinkie said as she started to sing again.

"Oh the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me
Oh the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me
Hip hip
Hooray!
It's the best place for me
For Pinkie...With decorations like streamers and fairy-lights and pinwheels and piñatas and pin-cushions. With goodies like sugar cubes and sugar canes and sundaes and sun-beams and sarsaparilla. And I get to play my favorite-est of favorite fantabulous games like Pin the Tail on the Pony!"

"Oh the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me
Oh the Grand Galloping Gala is the best place for me
'Cause it's the most galarrific superly-terrific gala ever
In the whole galaxy
Wheee!!" Pinkie finished singing her song.

"Oh thank you, Twilight, it's the most wonderful-est gift ever." Pinkie said getting in Twilight's face.

"Um, actually Pinkie--" Twilight said before the tickets were taken.

"Uh--" Twilight tried to say before being interrupted by Pinkie.

"Yes, yes, yes! Twilight's taking me to the Grand Galloping Gala in Canterlot."

"The gala? I design ensembles for the gala every year, but I've never had the opportunity to attend. Oh, the society, the culture, the glamour! It's where I truly belong, and where I'm destined to meet him." Rarity said.

"Him! ... Who?" Pinkie asked while I was praying to God hoping it wasn't who I thought it was.

"Him. I would stroll through the gala, and everyone would wonder, "Who is that mysterious mare?" They would never guess that I was just a simple pony from little old Ponyville. Why, I would cause such a sensation that I would be invited for an audience with Princess Celestia herself, and the princess would be so taken with the style and elegance that she would introduce me to him, her nephew: the most handsome, eligible unicorn stallion in Canterlot. Our eyes would meet, our hearts would melt. Our courtship would be magnificent. He would ask for my hoof in marriage, and of course I would say, "Yes!" We would have a royal wedding, befitting a princess, which is [giggles] what I would become upon marrying him, the stallion of my dreams." Rarity said visioning.

"God fucking damnit." I said to myself knowing who she was dreaming about.

"Twilight, I simply cannot believe you would invite Pinkie Pie so she can... party, and prevent me from meeting my true love. How could you? Hmph." Rarity said upset giving the tickets back to Spike.

"Huh. Hey!" Spike yelled as Angel. Fluttershy's pet rabbit and the opposite of what his name is grabbed the tickets from Spike and handed them to Fluttershy.

"[gasp] Angel, these are perfect." Fluttershy said quietly hugging Angel.

"Uh, listen guys, I haven't decided who to give the extra ticket to." Twilight said grabbing the tickets with magic.

"You haven't?" Pinkie and Rarity asked at the same time.

"Um, excuse me, Twilight. I would just like to ask, I mean, if it would be all right, if you haven't given it to someone else--" Fluttershy tried to ask.

"You? You want to go to the gala?" Rarity asked.

"Let me guess. You want to go so you can go to the gardens?" I asked her.

"Yes. I heard that the flowers are said to be the most beautiful and fragrant in all of Equestria. For the night of the gala, and that night alone, would they all be in bloom... and that's just the flora! Don't get me started on the fauna. There's loons and toucans and bitterns, oh my! Hummingbirds that can really hum, and buzzards that can really buzz. White-blue jays, and red jays, and green jays, pink jays and pink flamingos!" Fluttershy answered.

"Fluttershy, it sounds... beautiful...?" Twilight said.

"Wait just a minute." Rainbow said flying towards us.

"Rainbow Dash! Wait were you following us?" Twilight asked.

"No. I mean, yes. I mean, maybe. Look, it doesn't matter. I couldn't risk a goody-two-shoes like you giving that ticket away to just anybody." Rainbow said.

"Now wait just another minute." Applejack said running behind Rainbow Dash.

"Applejack, were you following us too?" Twilight asked her.

"No. I was followin' thisone to make sure she didn't try any funny business. Still trying to take mah ticket." Applejack said pointing at Rainbow.

"Your ticket?" Rainbow asked furious.

"But Twilight's taking me." Pinkie said adding fuel to the fire. Then the girls started to argue over the ticket.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP NOW!!!!" I yelled causing them to cover their ears and Fluttershy playing dead. "Sorry about that. It had to be done." I apologized for screaming.

"Thank you for that Keshaun." Twilight said rubbing her ears.

"He is right. It had to be done. I'm going to make this decision on my own, and I certainly can't think straight with all this noise... [stomach rumbles] not to mention hunger. Now go on, shoo." Twilight said as everyone else grumbled.

Intermission brought to you by a chibi Keshaun, Twilight, and Spike look for another restaurant.

We decided to another restaurant in case Pinkie was in sugarcube corner. It was a small Cafe.

"[sighs] Spike, Keshaun what am I gonna do? All five of my best friends have really good reasons to go to the gala. Applejack, or Rainbow Dash? Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy, Rarity... Oh, who should go with me? [stomach rumbles]" Twilight said having a crisis.

"Have you made your decision?" The chef asked us.

"I CAN'T DECIDE!" Twilight screamed slamming her face on the table.

"Twilight, he just wants to take your order." Spike and I said at the same time with a deadpan expression.

"Oh. Sorry. I would love a daffodil and daisy sandwich." Twilight ordered.

"I'll have a hay Burger with mayo, cheese, ketchup, and mustard." I ordered.

"I'll have the hay fries, extra crispy." Spike ordered.

"What do you think, guys?" Twilight asked.

"I don't know." Spike answered.

"Maybe we should just wait a bit before thinking about it." I said.

"Your food." The chef said handing us our food.

"Oh thank you. This looks so good. I'm sure everything will be much clearer once I eat." Twilight said as other ponies were running.

"Are you going to eat your food in ze rain?" The chef asked us.

"What are talking about it's not raining." I said looking around and saw that it raining over everypony at the Cafe except us.

"Hi there, best friends forever I've ever ever had. Enjoying the sunny weather?" Rainbow asked in a hole in the rain clouds.

"Rainbow Dash, what are you doing?" Twilight asked getting angry.

"Whaddya mean? I just saw the smartest, most generous pony about to get rained on, so I thought I'd kick a hole in the clouds to keep her dry so she could dine in peace, that's all." Rainbow said.

"You're trying to butter up Twi to give you the extra ticket?" I asked.

"Me? No no no, of course not." Rainbow said.

"Uh-huh." Twilight, Spike, and I said not believing it.

"Seriously, I'd do it for anypony. [gulp] Heh heh, eh." She said rubbing the back of her head.

"What about them?" I asked pointing at the other ponies.

"Rainbow, I am not comfortable accepting unwanted favors, so I'd appreciate it if you close up that rain cloud right now." Twilight said calmly.

"Ugh, fine." Rainbow said closing the hole in the rain cloud.

"Twilight, Spike, Keshaun it's raining." Rarity said holding a umbrella.

"No, really?" We said sarcastically.

"Come with me before you all catch a cold." She said taking us to her boutique.

"Heh heh, oops, sorry." Twilight said after bumping into a manikin.

"Oh no, it's quite all right. After all, we are... the best of friends, are we not? And you know what the best of friends do?" Rarity asked getting closer.

"Uh..." Twilight said backing away. "Makeovers!"

"Wait what?" I asked. Rarity was putting a dress on Twilight.

"Ugh, Rarity, ow, this really isn't fixing it. I mean, thank you but, ooh, that's too tight." Twilight said as Rarity was pulling on a string on the dress. She finished with the dress. It was a Victorian blue dress.

"There. Oh, you're simply darling." Rarity said.

"Uh, yeah, it is kinda pretty, isn't it?" Twilight asked.

"Keshaun, Spike. I have dandy little outfits for the dashing gentlemen." Rarity said.

"Oh, um would you look at that it's time for Spike's and mines training session. We got to go so, run Spike!" I yelled running towards the exit. Rarity jumped at us.

"D-ah, ow, oh, hey, wow, watch it, whoa!"

"Hey, let me go, I really don't look good in a tuxedo!" Spike and I said as Rarity was forcing us in tuxedos. Spike's was a blue tuxedo. While mine look like Sebastian's from Black Butler without the gloves.

"Now you just need a hat." Rarity said trying to find a top hat.

"Ugh, I told you, I don't want any part of this girly gala crap. See you back at the library." Spike said taking off the tuxedo and heading back to the library/house.

"Yeah, um I'm going to keep this it looks nice. See ya back at the library." I said also taking off the tuxedo and heading to the library/house.

"[Sigh] Why do girls go crazy with the little things Keshaun?" Spike asked.

"Spike, let me tell you something. Women are nothing but a mystery to men." I said as we waited for Twilight inside the house.

"Hey why do you still have that tuxedo?" Spike asked as I was holding it.

"I decided to keep it. You know for special occasions." I explained. Twilight caught up to us followed by the other girls.

"No, no, no! Well, this was all very nice of you and Angel, but I'm not accepting any extra favors until I've made my final decision, so I'm going to have to ask you to leave." Twilight said to Fluttershy as she opened the a trumpet sounded.

"SURPRISE!" Pinkie and some random ponies yelled as Pinkie was going into another song.

"Twilight is my bestest friend
Whoopie, whoopie!

"Pinkie..." Twilight said as she was tossed into the air annoyed

"She's the cutest, smartest, all around best pony, pony!

"Pinkie." Twilight said getting angry.

"I bet if I throw a super-duper fun party, party!

"Pinkie!" Twilight said getting angrier.

"She'll give her extra ticket to the Gala to me!

"PIIINKIIIE!!" Twilight screamed as the random ponies dropped her.

"Yes, Twilight?" Pinkie asked.

"At least the other ponies tried to be subtle about the ticket." She said as I was the one regretting her words.

"Wait, what ticket? What gala?" A mare named Drizzle asked.

"Oh, you didn't know? Twilight has an extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala!" Pinkie said unknowingly shooting herself in the hoof.

"God fucking damnit." I said to myself faceplaming myself.

"The Grand Galloping Gala?!" The random ponies yelled as they began to butter up Twilight.

"Have I ever told you how much I love your mane?" "I'll wash your dishes." "Would you like any help with your gardening?" "I have a cartload of extra carrots." "I'll paint your cart."

"What are we going to do?" Spike asked.

"Grab my shoulders." I said as Spike and Twilight did that. I used Instant Transmission to teleport somewhere they can't get to.

"Where are we?" Twilight asked looking around.

"Welcome to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." I said showing her the chamber.

"What the. It's a void. There's nothing but white. I can't see where it begins or it ends." Twilight said going a bit insane.

"Hey guys. Keshaun brought Twilight in the chamber." Spike said in the control panel.

"We were in the shower. You didn't need to use the intercom." Justice said wearing a blue towel around his waist. Caleb had a green towel around his waist.

"Oh, um sorry about looking." Twilight said turning around with a huge blush on her face.

"What's going on Keshaun? Why did you bring Twilight here?" Justice asked me.

"Celestia invited Twilight to the Grand Galloping Gala. But she only had a plus one and now everyone in Ponyvile is trying to get the extra ticket. So I had to use Instant Transmission to get us out of there because everyone was in the library." I explained.

"Okay well. We're going to change and join you." Justice said.

"Okay see ya. Also how does it feel to see Twilight blush from seeing you naked?" I asked.

"Shut it." Justice said.

"Okay Twilight let's get you out of here and get you some food." I said.

"Yeah. I like some food right now." Twilight said astonished by the chamber still.

"Gate!" I said as a portal appeared. Twilight and Spike walked through it. As I was about to go through Justice grabbed for second.

"What's up?" I asked.

"It's about that blushing question." Justice said. "I enjoyed her blushing at me." He said blushing.

"Well just wait until she's 18, then you can do it." I said joking.

As we went inside I saw the girls were inside. "I know it's important to all of you and I just can't stand to disappoint any of you, and giving me gifts and doing me favors won't make any difference, because you're all my friends and I wanna make you all happy and I can't, I just can't!" Twilight said breaking down.

"Twilight, sugar, I didn't mean to put so much pressure on you, and if it helps, I don't want the ticket anymore. You can give it to someone else. I won't feel bad, I promise." Applejack said feeling so bad for her actions.

"Me too. I feel just awful that I made you feel so awful." Fluttershy added.

"And me too. It's no fun upsetting your friends." Pinkie said.

"Twilight, it was unfair of me to try to force you as I did. Though I am glad Keshaun liked the tuxedo I made him." Rarity said.

"Yes! That means the ticket is mine. Ha ha, [sing-song voice] I got the ticket, I got the ticket--" Rainbow said as before she realized her mistakes as well.

"You know, I haven't perfected my signature moves for the Wonderbolts anyway. I don't need that ticket either." Rainbow said throwing them away.

"We all got so gun-ho about going to the gala that we couldn't see how un-gun-ho we were making you." Applejack said.

"We're sorry guys." They apologized as they hugged it out.

"Spike, take down a note. Dear Princess Celestia,
I've learned that one of the joys of friendship is sharing your blessings, but when there's not enough blessings to go around, having more than your friends can make you feel pretty awful. So, though I appreciate the invitation, I will be returning both tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala." Twilight said as Spike wrote it down on a scroll.

"What?!" Everyone said in shock.

"If my friends can't all go, I don't wanna go either." Twilight said with a small smile on her face.

"Twilight, you didn't have to do that." Applejack said.

"Nope. I've made up my mind. Spike, you can send the letter now." Twilight said as Spike sent the scroll with his flames.

"But now you won't get to go to the gala either." Fluttershy said.

"It's okay, everyone. I couldn't possibly enjoy myself without my best friends there with me, so I would rather not go at all." Twilight said as they all got into a group hug.

"Hgh... hgh... urk... urk..." Spike retching a little.

"Well wallop my withers, Spike. Isn't that just like a boy? Can't handle the least bit of sentiment." Applejack said.

"[Burp]!" Spike belched as a scroll came from it.

"A letter from the princess? That was fast." Twilight said impressed by the speed.

"My faithful student Twilight,
Why didn't you just say so in the first place?" Spike read as the girls began to listen. "I could've given you more tickets if you asked. So I present you with six tickets for the Grand Galloping Gala." Spike finished as he burped the tickets.

"Now we can all go." Twilight said as the girls hugged each other again.

"[stomach rumbles] [laughs nervously] I guess I'm still hungry." Twilight said blushing a little.

"Allow us to treat you to dinner." Rarity said walking towards the door.

"What a great way to apologize." Rainbow said sarcastically.

"And to celebrate. Come on everyone, the cupcakes are on me." Pinkie said happily.

"We're going to eat here." I said.

"How come I don't get a ticket to the gala? Hurk! [burp]." Spike said.

"And one for you four too." Spike read he belch four more tickets.

"Well that happened. Who wants tacos?" I asked.

"Sure." Justice, Caleb and Spike answered.

Hello everyone this is Keshaunthesilverwolf here with chapter 6. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Also I forgot to include about the fact Spike is a bit out of character. I mean as he doesn't have a crush on Rarity. He can use magic. And he isn't a butt monkey. With that out of the way. From a howl at the Moon from the silver wolf see you all soon.
