Chapter 16: Pony
Picnic Unexpected
After several days of intense negotiating, Unexpected Ambassador
Twilight and her close friends were enjoying a sumptuous picnic lunch. The friends sat on a plaid picnic lunch
blanket in the Royal Stewart tartan.
These friends are spending the early afternoon in a forested city park.
On the other side of a brick bicycle path, were cute metallic
foals. They were dressed in cute sailor
suits and had a great time playing with their toy sailboats in a knee deep, reflecting
pool. The floor and sides of the pool
were covered in ceramic tiles. Two of
these foals were Bard, a silver coated colt talking to his friend Cinnamon a
copper coated filly. In a confident
voice, Brad told Cinnamon, “When I grow up, I’m going to marry a Pegasus mare.”
Cinnamon replied, “But, will your Pegasus mare move to
Dream Valley, or will you move to Equestria?”
“I don’t know.
But, that’s years and years in the future, so why worry about it
now? I have much growing to do before I
sail away to Equestria.”
“Speaking of sailing away, you sailboat is sailing away
from you.” Cinnamon pointed with her
hoof to Bard’s sailboat that was being pushed with a slight breeze down the
reflecting pool. Lickety-split, Bard was
trotting off to retrieve his sailboat, splashing water around his legs, his underbelly,
and his sailor tunic.
The young foals didn’t notice Twilight and her friends.
Rarity said, “I do love the illusion spell you cast on
us to make us look like metallic ponies.”
Twilight replied, “I didn’t have a choice in creating
this illusion spell, or the fan ponies would never leave us alone.”
Twilight had cast an illusion spell to make their dull
coats appear shiny metallic and to have Twilight, Rainbow, and Flutter’s feathery
wings appear to disappear.
Twilight is using her magic to pour Applejack a cup of
tea. Smiling, Applejack told Twilight, “Oh,
that’s ok sugar cube; you don’t have to pour my cup of tea.”
A smiling Twilight responses, “Applejack, we’re friends
and neither my wings on my back nor my crown shouldn’t get in the way of me
being nice to you.”
“Thanks Twilight, I reckon I can’t turn down a helping
hoof from a good friend.”
Rarity then said to her friends, “Have you seen how
these Dream Valley ponies fawn over Rainbow, Fluttershy, and the Wonderbolts? The Dream Valley ponies smother them with
attention like Rainbow obsesses over her signed, first edition Daring Do novels.”
Twilight replied, “By working together, we have
collected an adequate number of books for Cheerilee’s history project. We have also gathered a sufficient amount of
information to give to Princess Celestia to tell her all about the ponies of Dream
Valley and their society.”
Rarity added, “It will be a shame to leave so many
dreamy metallic ponies.” Rarity looks
over at a group of muscular Dream Valley stallions and mares lifting weights at
an outdoor gymnasium. “But, I will
return home for the sake of my family and for my friends.”
Applejack chimed in by saying, “As much as I’d love to
stay and learn more about the art of Dream Valley baking, I’ve got my family’s apple
orchard to run and a family to care for.”
Twilight said, “I see that travel is great for
expanding your mind and making new friends.
I’ve seen that Dream Valley ponies have taken their society in
directions no Equestrian pony has considered.
But, my friends and I have seen that despite all the wonderful ponies,
places, and things in our ancestors’ homeland of Dream Valley, we know that our
true place beings in Ponyville. Let’s
start packing, as we should leave Dream Valley in three days.”
Rarity looks at Twilight with pleading, puppy dog eyes.
Twilight then amended herself by saying, “Three
days? I meant to say seven days to pack
up for our return voyage. I’ll send a
text message to the president’s personal butler Spiffy van Hoosier about our
travel plans. Pinkie Pie, please plan a
farewell party for nine in the morning, seven days from now.”
Pinkie replied, “Yes Twilight, you’ll be pleased with
my farewell party planning!”
Rarity smiles at Twilight. Rarity then returns to ogling the metallic
coated stallions.
