Gummy's Decision
A.N. I do not own "My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic" or any of the characters involved in this fan fiction.
Chapter One- The Nature of the Problem
"HHHHHEEEEEEYYYYYYY! Are you listening Gummy?" Exclaimed Pinkie Pie as she questioned her alligator friend. She knew he couldn't answer because he was, after all, only an alligator, or so she thought.
A.N. Scene change to two years before the first season of MLP:FIM
"Pinkamina Diane Pie!" The mysterious voice boomed through the darkened room, "You are on trial for the unjust action of capturing an animal from a foreign land." Pinkie looked around only to see one candle illuminating the dark room to a dim fuzzy glow. She could make out several figures ponies she guessed, as they had the right form.
"You have taken the creature you call 'Gummy,' an alligator, unwillingly from the land of the Zebras. You have no right as it their creature, so you must return it."
"No, he's not an it he's Gummy, GUMMY! My friend and I can't return him if I wanted to I don't know where he came from or how he got here."
"Do not play dumb miss Pie, it will make this all that much easier."
"I'm not playing dumb, I just don't know what you're talking about I found Gummy wandering on the edge of the Everfree forest when I picked him up and tried to find who he belonged to, I even asked the creepy witch inside the forest if she knew but answered in some weird riddle that I just didn't get."
"No matter we, the council of three-"
"The what?"
"The council of three is the court of Equestria and decider of all fated ponies who have committed a crime of dire proportion, such as your self. We have been personally hand picked by Princess Celestia herself to take the 'hard cases' that her majesty wouldn't dirty her hands with. In any case, we the council of three have decided that your punishment shall be banishment to the smallest town we could find in Equestria, Ponyville, you must have your things packed by tomorrow and be prepared to leave at the rising of the moon."
"Can I at least keep Gummy?"
"We have soft hearts so we will give you this."
Chapter Two- Back to Reality
A.N. Scene change present day Ponyville
It was late Luna's moon had risen and gummy was busy at work. He had a pile of wood and some metal by his side, it was dark all around except for the campfire that Gummy had made to keep himself warm that seemed to put a spooky illumination over the pile of materials. Gummy had been working for months now and he just loved to think of how ponies would react to what he had made, It would be done in a few more nights.
