Me As A Pony
Chapter 10: parasprite polka
Previous Chapter Next ChapterToday I was going to be busy as hell. I had to get a new violin, make the fire 100% not likely to explode for no reason and help zecora with some potions and something that rainbow dash wants.
Let’s get the violin over and done with. On the way I saw the mayor and asked about the gala audition and she said that tomorrow you can audition and with that done I went to get my violin.
Violin check, now for the fireworks. The mayor or someone sent over a pony called henzo to help with the fireworks as he apparently is the best fireworks maker in all of equestia or something.
He put a special coat that only explodes if in the air. Fireworks check and now for zecora. She wanted me to help her gather ingredients for her potions. Nothing special but she said it would halve the time it took.
She then asked me a very alarming question: “what’s earth like” I was shocked! How did she know?! I told her I didn’t know what she was talking about and she said I can sense your aura and it is not of equestrian but of earth (I can’t rhyme).
She said she would not tell but I told her that I have no memory of it.
“When I got here, all I remembered was that I used to be human and that’s it. I don’t know why I’m here but maybe it’s to start a new life here” zecora replied with “or maybe destiny?” With that said I finished the job and told zecora “thank you for keeping my secret”.
Now for rainbow. She said it had something to do with speed. When I found her she asked me to time how fast she can fly around pony Ville. She raced and her time was 11 seconds. I asked why she needed my help and it was because that rainbow dash hates recording times herself so she asked me to do it. (Why am I not surprise?)
I decided to help with the decorations but some pony (I think bonbon) told me that we needed more flowers so I started finding some flowers. On the way I saw flutter shy but she was running back for some reason? Anyway let’s find some flowers. Found some (the whole world is flower central!) and now to find pinkie.
I found pinkie… with an accordion, a pair of bongos and bagpipes. No comment. This is pinkie after all but she seems serious. But then again it is pinkie pie. Maybe it’s for a party or something.
I wonder were ditzy is. I needed to ask her how long I was staying with her in her house. Found her and we started talking about accommodations. She said that if I supply some money into the house, I can stay for as long as I like and we had a nice rent of 45 coins a month. (That’s £45 a month in actual money)
I did ask ditzy why she’s letting me stay and she said “it’s because you have nowhere to go so I’m giving you a home” I did think to myself that ditzy is really kind, even in comparison to flutter shy, ditzy is such a good friend.
I decided to go to sleep a bit early today. The jobs I have done and the zecora thing made me tired but on the bright side I did get a lot of money so I’m set for the month.
The next day…
You ever get that feeling that something really bad is going to happen? Well it happened! I woke up because I heard flutter shy screaming (for such a quite pony she sure can scream) so I ran over and saw these weird bug things that were adorable but were causing trouble.
They seem to only eat large amounts of food despite their size so I got a cake from pinkes shop and lured them out but twilight and rainbow dash and applejack came along and said they had the same problem.
We tried a ton of methods: we tried applejacks round’em up attempt that worked but there was 1 left and it made zillions in a second, we then tried the rainbow twister but that failed then we tried my method… fireworks! The idea was that it would scare them but I discovered why no one uses ice berries in fireworks.
I fired one and the blast actually froze most of them but it missed quite a few how went to the main town. We tried twilight’s method of making them full with magic but that made them eat everything else!
It was all over until pinkie pie started playing: accordion, flute, harmonica, and a couple more instruments at the same time! At this point I give up putting logic towards pinkie pie.
So she led them towards the forest and then every pony started rebuilding. Many shops and houses were destroyed but flutter shy had a brilliant idea. She asked the beavers of the forest to help with the reconstruction. They did help and pony vile was rebuilt in a day.
This has been a long day so I went back to ditzy’s for sleep. The end.
