Hi! Hyena King here! This is my second story, basically, it's the MLP episode "Bridle Gossip" with Thunder and Lightning helping out. I,d like to thank DJ Scales for giving me this idea. Well, without further ado, Here's chapter one. Enjoy!
"A little to the left." Thunder said as he hefted the large boulder. The neon-blue maned, black-furred pegasus and his brother, Lightning, were currently moving a large boulder that had fallen onto the road moving into Ponyville. The Brothers had taken it upon themselves to move the boulder before anypony got hurt from it.(Not that it really mattered cause for some reason nopony was out on the road.) The pegasi had been at it all day and had managed to move it toward the curb. The thing was, Thunder had suddenly decided to try to carefully place the boulder on the curb to make it more organized to the annoyance of Lightning.
"Does it matter which way we move it? Just put it on the curb!" Lightning said, eager to drop the heavy stone before his muscles gave out. "Of course it does! We need to make sure that it doesn't roll back on the road, don't we?" Thunder responded.
After a little while, both pegasi's respective strength gave out and dropped the boulder, which went rolling into a nearby stream. Deciding it was a job well done, the brothers flew towards Ponyville, wondering what else needed doing. When they reached the town, however, they noticed something odd. There was no pony in sight. It looked like a ghost town for all the world knew.
"It's quiet." Lightning said, swerving his head to look around. "To quiet." Thunder agreed. "Where is everypony?" Thunder asked after a few seconds. "Maybe there's a carnival?" Lightning suggested. "I don't know. Something doesn't feel right." Thunder responded. "Yeah, no kidding" The silence was starting to freak Lightning out. Suddenly, he caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye. It just happened to be Twilight Sparkle and her dragon assistant spike.
"Hey, there's twilight." Lightning said after confirming the pony's identity. "Maybe she knows what's going on." Thunder nodded in agreement and they both made their way to her. "Hey Twilight!" Thunder said "You wouldn't happen to know where everypony is, would you?"
"Your guess is as good as mine." Twilight responded "Frankly, you're the first ponies I've seen all day."
"Maybe they all ran from Lightning's face!" Spike said, laughing at his own wit. "Naw, it was probably you breath!" Lightning responded to his scaly rival. They both growled at each other while Twilight and Thunder rolled their eyes at their comrade's immaturity. "Seriously though, do you think it could be...Zombies!" Spike cried suddenly. This earned him blank stares from the ponies.
"Uh, not very likely." Twilight said. "Not likely, but possible?" Spike asked, fear starting to creep into his voice. Thunder noticed Lightning was looking around nervously. "What're you doing?" Thunder asked. "Just making sure they're no zombies around." Lightning responded. Thunder hoof-slapped his face in response.
"Psst" said an unknown voice. The ponies all turned their attention to the entrance of Sugar Cube Corner. Pinkie Pie suddenly poked her head out of the door window. "Twilight." She said then ducked back inside. She repeated this process as she said "Spike" "Thunder" "Lightning" "Come here!" at this she gestured with her hoof for the group to come inside. "Come here!" Pinkie repeated. "Hurry, before she gets you!" Not waiting for anymore prompting, Thunder, Lightning, Twilight and Spike went inside the store.
It was pitch black for a moment before a flashlight illuminated the room, Temporarily blinding the ponies who were outside just a moment ago. "Who, the Zombie Pony?" Spike suddenly asked. The flashlight suddenly flashed under the face of Pinkie Pie. "Zombie Pony?" she asked, the flashlight giving her a frighting appearance that effectivly terrified the dragon. "Spike there are no zombie ponies." Twilight said to her terrified assistant.
"Pinkie, what are you doing here alone in the dark?" Thunder asked with a raised eyebrow. "I,m not alone in the dark." Pinkie Pie responded. "OK, Hang on a minute." Lightning said, adopting a face of complete concentration. Within moments, Lightning's golden mane sparked and glowed, illuminating the whole room to reveal Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and her sister Applebloom. "Hey guys, how's it go-" The rest of what Lightning had to say was lost as the mares suddenly dog piled him, extinguishing the light he gave off.
"what,re you doing, trying to give us away?!" Applejack asked as she held Lightning's head down. "OK, what are you all doing in the dark?" Twilight asked as Thunder gently pushed the mares off Lightning and helped him to his hooves.
"We're hiding from her." Applejack responded, pointing out the window. The ponies all looked out the window to behold a Strange cloaked figure who was digging in the ground. The figure suddenly turned to look at them with strange glowing eyes. The ponies, with the exception of Twilight, Thunder and Lightning, all shrank back and hid in fear. As Twilight gave them all a look of disapproval, Lightning suddenly spoke up.
"So, it's not Zombie ponies?" he asked in all seriousness. Thunder hoof-slapped his face in response.
And there you go. Not to bad huh? I know you guys have wanted me to write linger chapters and I hope I did better then last time in that regard. R&R please!
