(Link to complete remake of the story: s/10701273/1/Friendship-is-Epic-Book-1-My-Big-Flare-COMPLETE-REMAKE)
One night in the land of Equestria, everypony in the land was asleep. In the outskirts of Ponyville, near the Everfree Forest, there was a big shadow, the shadow was shaped like a pony unicorn that appeared out of nowhere. The shadow of the pony looked at it's hoofs and it's tail in shock.
The shadow pony said, "It worked! I'm here! I'm finally here! Happy face! No more hatered and fighting! No more pain and suffering! From now on it's Magic, friendship, and less then threes! I finally have the chance to make real friends! Oh I'm a bit nervous, but no worries brah! Soon, I'll be a part of this town, have all the friends I want! And best of all, I'll get to show them lots of awesome stuff from where I'm from! This going to be leet! When the morning comes, I'll head into ponyville with my trusty trailer, I'll be nice and comfortable in my new home! Soon, everything is going to be perfect, and I won't have to be sad face ever again HA HA HA HA HA... HA HA HA HA HA... HA HA HA HA HA!" he sang as he was saying 'ha ha ha'. "Let's do this thang! Friend friend friend!"
Morning came, and the ponies in ponyville were all doing their thing. Rainbow Dash was in the sky relaxing on a cloud.
"Ah yes, this is the life!" said Rainbow Dash. "Life in Ponyville is so awesome, as always! Ahh, yep! Nothing can ruin this moment!"
"Hi Rainbow!" cried Pinkie Pie.
"AAAAH! Pinkie you startled me!" said Rainbow Dash.
Pinkie was jumping up and down with springs on her legs.
"Sorry! But I wanted to let you know that there's a new pony in town!" said Pinkie.
"Really? A new pony is moving in?" asked Rainbow.
"Looks like it! He's carrying a big trailer, and he's red, and has a wavy brown mare, and oooh oooh oooh, and he wears a blue vest, and four black shoes!" Pinkie said cheerfully.
"Alright, then! Let's welcome the new pony to town!" said Rainbow.
"Yippie!" cried Pinkie Pie jumping up and down.
Rainbow Dash and Pinkie went to the south end of town where the new pony was.
"Hi!" said Pinkie cheerfully.
"Sup sister?" asked the new pony.
"Sister? You must be thinking of someone else! I'm Pinkie Pie!" said Pinkie with a smile on her face.
"No, no, no. It's just a slang, meaning I'm calling you something cool. Giving you a nickname or something. I call all the mares that!" said the new pony.
"Oh really? Well I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest Pegasus in all of Equestria!" said Rainbow Dash.
"Cool story, sis." the new pony said sarcastically.
"Want me to prove it?" Rainbow asked.
"No need to ask me twice." the new pony said. So Rainbow flew up into the air, did a couple of tricks and spins, messed with the clouds, and came back with a rainbow above her head. "How do you like that, new pony?"
But the pony wasn't paying much attention, he was on his phone talking to his mom. "Yeah, mom, I'm here now. Yeah. Yeah. Ok, ok, ok, I gotta go... I gotta... I gotta go... yes... yes... yes mom, I love you too. Thank you. I'm fine. Thank you. Alright, chow. Ok... I'm busy now. I just made some new friends. Ok... THANK YOU, MOM! I love you too. Bye bye." Then the pony hangs up and turns to Rainbow. "Moms, sheesh!" he said, rolling his eyes. "They never stop talking. I had to let her know I made it here safely. Anyways, I'm sorry, can you do those tricks again?"
Rainbow's jaw dropped. "You are kidding me."
"I am not kidding you." he said with a serious look. Rainbow rolled her eyes.
"Fine." she said. So she flew up into the air to do those tricks again, and once she was done, she flew back. "Did you watch that time?"
"Oh no, I'm sorry, I got a text message from Boston Market, saying they're having a free cookie sale, I had to check it out. I guess I left Mareami at the wrong time." the pony said, putting his phone away. "I apologize deeply, can you do it just... ONE MORE TIME!"
"UGGGGH!" Rainbow groaned. "Fine! One more time! You better be a fun pony when you finally settle in."
"I said I'm sorry. Look, if you don't wanna do it, then don't, I won't force ya." he said.
"No, no, I'll do it. Just watch this time." Rainbow said.
"I promise I'll watch this time." the pony said. So Rainbow did the same tricks again, and then came back down, feeling really tired. "How... you like... that? Did you watch?"
"Yes I watched, I just didn't find it interesting. Sorry." he said.
"WHAT?! Ha-how did you not find it interesting?" Rainbow asked.
"I seen those tricks before. I see the Wonderbolts preform at every Nashorse race!" the pony said, rolling his eyes.
"Wait, you know the Wonderbolts?" Rainbow asked.
"Of course! I met Spitfire in person. It's pretty ironic that she doesn't actually spit fire. I got an autograph of her if you want to see it later." the pony said.
"Ok, sure! Sounds awesome!" Rainbow said, nodding.
"So what's your name?" asked Pinkie Pie.
The new pony answered; "My name is Flare, Flare Gun! I'm new around here, if you haven't noticed. I'm from the city of Mareami, southeast from here. There was too much hatred and arguing and fighting, so I decided to move here where everything is peaceful!"
"Nice decision! Ponyville is home to us! I'm sure you'll love it here too!" said Rainbow.
"Thanks Rainbow! You know I have a pet fish in my trailer named Rainbow." said Flare.
"Really? Cool! Can I see it?" asked Rainbow.
"Not now, I have to take this trailer to a spot I feel comfortable at. Where can I set my crib?" asked Flare.
"How about right here?" asked Pinkie.
"Hmmm..." Flare looks around. "Nah! Somewhere a little less populated."
"How about near Sweet Apple Acres?" asked Rainbow.
"What's that?" asked Flare.
"It's a farm where our friend Applejack lives!" answered Pinkie.
"LAWL! Let me guess... it's an apple farm." asked Flare.
"You're right! But what does "LAWL" mean?" asked Pinkie.
"It means L-O-L, which means 'Laugh out loud'." Flare answered.
"Hee hee hee! That's funny!" Pinkie said and giggled.
"You look funny! Winky face." said Flare as he winked.
"Hee hee hee! Thanks!" said Pinkie as she jumped up and down.
"Well, Sweet Apple Acres does sound like a nice place, but I still want to be inside the town. Less populated, but not too less, more like moderate." said Flare.
"Why don't we take a stroll around town? See where you like to set up?" asked Rainbow.
"Great idea, Dash! I wonder why they call you that?" asked Flare.
"I'm too tired to do any tricks." Rainbow said.
"And that was awesome possum, Rainbow! I guess that's why they call you that, huh?" Flare asked.
"Why else do you think I did that?" asked Rainbow Dash then she winked.
So after they stroll around town, they stop near Twilight's library
"PERFECT! Happy face!" cried Flare.
"You want to set up here?" asked Rainbow.
Flare gives Rainbow Dash a look.
"Nooooo, I wanted to set up in the everfree forest. Where do you think? Derp! LOL!" said Flare sarcastically.
"Oh Flare you silly willy!" said Pinkie as she pat him on the top of the head.
"So who lives here?" asked Flare.
"Our friend Twilight Sparkle lives here!" said Pinkie.
"LAWL! Her name is Twilight? Wow, that's sad. Sad face." said Flare.
"Why is that sad?" asked Pinkie
"Uhhh, nothing, I was... kidding. Jk lol!" said Flare.
"What does Jk mean?" asked Pinkie.
"Just kidding." said Flare.
"So you were kidding when you said jk?" asked Pinkie.
"No, it means just kidding. Wow, you said I was the silly willy! And look at you, you hop around everytime we walk somewhere." teased Flare.
"That's because I'm happy!" Pinkie said as she starts singing, "Ohhhhh, happy happy happy, I am so happy! I like to make you smile, and it makes me smile! What makes me sad, is what makes you sad! Why don't we all juuuuust staaaaaay haaaaaapppppy! Oh smile smile smile..."
"Kay Pinkie, I get it! Thanks you! Tongue face." teased Flare.
"Why do you keep saying your facial expressions?" asked Pinkie.
"IDK, just because I want to." said Flare.
"What does IDK mean?" asked Pinkie.
"I don't know." said Flare.
"You don't know what it means?" asked Pinkie.
"It means I don't know! Holy Wizard of Strength Pinkie!" Flare cried.
"Who's the Wizard of Strength?" asked Pinkie.
"I'll tell you that later." answered Flare.
Flare detaches himself from his trailer.
"Alright, why don't you introduce me to that Twilight pony, and we'll discuss about rent." said Flare.
"What do you need to rent?" asked Pinkie.
"Well, since I'm going to be living on her front lawn, I should be able to pay for it. Don't worry, I have lots of money. I can be able to afford paying property here, and for my new business somewhere around town." said Flare.
"You're going to open a business?" asked Pinkie.
"Yeah, but it's a surprise. Winkey face." said Flare as he winked.
"Ooh ooh, I love surprises! Oh that reminds me! I have uhhh, something to do right now! I'll catch ya later Flare!" said Pinkie as she hopped away.
"Bye Pink!" said Flare, then he looked at Rainbow Dash and said; "She's quite friendly."
"Quite. So let's see if Twilight's home." said Rainbow as she knocked on the door.
"Sad face. I wanted to knock on the door!" Flare whined.
Rainbow sighed. "Fine, be my guest." she said in an annoyed tone.
"Happy face!" Flare said cheerfully as he knocked on the door. "Oh this is going to be great! I already made two friends already! And they're both mares! What will they think of next?"
The door opens and reveals Spike the Dragon, Twilight's assassin and friend.
"Affirmative! That's what they'd think of next! A dragon! Mischievous face!" said Flare.
"Hi! You must be the new pony!" said Spike.
"Sup brah? The name is Flare, Flare Gun! And this is my flare gun!" A glowing laser sword pops out of his horn. "Whoops, that's my hornsaber!" Hornsaber disappears. "Who are you?"
"I'm Spike! Nice to meet you Flare!"
"Nice to be met, bro! Lounge face."
Spike laughs. "Wow, you're sure funny, dude!"
"Thanks, man! I can take we're going to be bros!" Flare smiled.
"Heh, yeah!" Flare and Spike bro hooved.
"So Spike, is Twilight home?" Rainbow asked.
"Oh, she left for Sweet Apple Ares a few minutes ago." said Spike.
"Oh, alright. Thanks Spike!" said Rainbow.
"Want to come along new bro?" asked Flare.
"Nah I can't. I have to finish with some chores." said Spike.
"Foo the chores! Come on! You look beat, you need a break dude!" said Flare.
"Well if you say so. Alright! Let's go new bro!" said Spike.
"Alright! Hey, you rhymed! Go and bro!" said Spike.
"Cool!" said Spike.
So the three walk to Sweet Apple Acres, where Big Macintosh is harvesting some Apples.
"Hey Big Macintosh! Have you seen Applejack?" asked Rainbow.
"Yeeeup! She's at the barn! Who's your new friend?" asked Big Macintosh
"This is Flare..." said Rainbow after Flare interrupted her.
"Oh, uh sorry Rainbow, but I like introducing myself, if that's kay." asked Flare.
"Oh... sure." said Rainbow.
"Sup brah? I'm Flare, Flare Gun! And this is my flare gun!" Water squirts out of his horn. "Sad face. Did I forget how to use flare? That's my water squirter, perfect for water gun fights, and waking ponies up. My sister taught me it."
"Yeeeup!" answered Big Macintosh
"So what's your name brah?" asked Flare.
"Big Macintosh, but some call me Big Mac for short."
"ROFL! Like the Big Mac from McDonalds?" Flare joked.
"Beg ur pardon?" asked Big Mac.
"Oh right, that's just a restaurant where I'm from." said Flare.
"Where are you from anyway?" asked Spike.
"I... I don't want to talk about it. Let's just say, somewhere FAR away. That's all I'm giving you. Sorry man." Flare said.
"It's cool, you must have a history over there that makes you not want to talk about it, huh?" asked Spike.
"Affirmative." said Flare.
"I'm sorry, bro." said Spike.
"No worries, brah." said Flare, then he looks at Big Mac. "So where's the barn?"
"Right this way!" said Big Macintosh.
The four walk to the barn and find Applejack planting seeds for an Apple tree.
"Howdy brother, Rainbow, Spike, and... who's this?" asked AppleJack
"Wussup? You must be Applejack. I'm Flare, Flare Gun, and this is my flare gun!" Flare shoots a big laser. "Surprised face! Sorry about that. That was just my shoop da whoop! I love to fire mah laser!"
Applejack shakes Flare's hoof.
"Pleasure to meet ya, sugar cube!" said AppleJack with a smile.
"Sugar cube, huh? You must be saying I'm sweet! Lion face." said Flare.
"I guess you can call it that. So what can I do for ya?" asked AppleJack with a wink.
"I'm looking for your friend Twilight. You see, I'm moving into town, and I found that her home's front lawn was the perfect place to settle down, but I need her if I'm going to be paying for rent." said Flare.
"Sorry, sug. She just left a couple of minutes ago. She said something about helping out ol Fluttershy out." said AppleJack.
"Kay thanks for the help. How about coming over later, I can get to know you better. You know where Twilight lives right?" asked Flare.
"Of course! I'll come and vist for a cup of tea later." said AppleJack
"Who said anything about tea? Winkey face. LOL!" said Flare.
AppleJack laughed and said, "You're funny, sugar cube!"
"That's what Pinkie Pie said!" said Flare.
"Aw'righty then! Let me finish up here, and I'll see you ponies back at Twilight's." said AppleJack.
"Kay thanks bye! See you Big Mac with the french fries on the side!" said Flare.
"Yeeeup! Wait, beg ur pardon?" asked Big Mac.
Flare, Spike and Rainbow walk to Fluttershy's house. Fluttershy is feeding the birds outside.
"There you go little friends!" said Fluttershy.
Angel looks at Fluttershy, angry, wanting something to eat.
"Oh, okay Angel. You want the usual?"
Angel shows Fluttershy a picture of carrot cake.
"Oh, um, I'm sorry Angel, but I don't have the ingredients." Fluttershy smiles embarrassed at Angel making a squee sound.
Angel flops back on the floor looking like he's dead.
"Oh no, Angel! Don't do that! You know that scares me."
Angel comes back up and shows the picture of the carrot cake again.
"Oh, okay, fine."
Fluttershy looks at Rainbow, Spike and Flare that are still far ahead.
"Oh look, it's Rainbow Dash, Spike, and..." Fluttershy stopped and gasped.
Fluttershy looks at Flare really surprised. She gets shy and closes all her blinds, one of her blinds got crooked, and she struggled to close them.
"Hey Fluttershy! Want to meet the new pony in town?" asked Rainbow Dash from the distance.
Fluttershy gets nervous and runs into her house and locks her doors. Rainbow, Spike and Flare walk to her door. Rainbow knocks on it.
"Uh, remember what I said before Rainbow? That I want to knock on the doors? Remember? LOL remember Rainbow?" asked Flare.
"Listen Flare, Fluttershy is a shy pony." said Rainbow Dash.
"I can tell by her name. Lion face." said Flare with a giggly look on his face.
"This is serious Flare. Fluttershy gets nervous when it comes to newcommers." said Rainbow Dash.
"Sad face. But I wanted to make a new friend." said Flare with a sad look on his face.
The camera shows Fluttershy in her house with the lights off, as she shakes nervously.
"Don't worry, dude. She'll get used to you. Besides, she wasn't shy when she met me, she got used to me right away, because I'm so awesome!" said Spike with a cool looking pose as the camera goes back showing the ponies outside.
Rainbow Dash smacks Spike on the back of the head.
"Ow!" yelled Spike.
"LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!" Flare laughed.
Spike gives Flare a look.
"Sorry, but that was pretty funny. Just remember, I'm the dude with a great sense of humor! Remember? LOL remember Spike?" asked Flare.
Flare knocks on Fluttershy's door.
"C'mon Fluttershy, come out, you're making me sad face. I won't bite." said Flare. Then he whispers to Rainbow and Spike; "Yes I will. LOL! Jkjkjk!" Then Flare said out loud again; "C'mon Flutty! Please?"
The camera shows Fluttershy again still nervous.
"Wow, he seems real nice, and funny, and cute. But I'm to nervous to go out there! What if I mess things up? Maybe he won't like me. That'll ruin my chance!" said Fluttershy as she starts weeping softly.
The camera shows Flare and the others again.
"Hm, perhaps she's not home. And my guess is that Twilight might not be here anyway." said Flare.
"Well, I know one other place she might be at. Follow me!" said Rainbow Dash.
They walk away, then Fluttershy opens her door a crack.
"Darn it! He left. Why do I have to be so shy all the time? I have to overcome my shyness if I'm going to win Flare." said Fluttershy.
She closes her door. Then the others walk to Rarity's shop. Inside Rarity's shop, she's decorating one of her dresses.
"Smashing! This will be perfect to show that new pony what the fabulous Rarity is all about!" said Rarity.
Flare, Rainbow and Spike head inside the shop. Rarity smiles with excitement.
"Ah! You must be the new pony! I am the great fabulous Rarity, I run this beautiful shop to show off my talents, and what great outfits I can make up!"
"It's true, she's amazing!" Spike says, whispering to Flare.
"Well I'll be the judge of that!" whispered Flare back at him, then Flare says to Rarity; "Wussup Rarity? My name is Flare, Flare Gun! And this is my flare gun!" Flare's horn lights up, as Rarity floats in mid-air.
"Whoa! Please put me down!" Rarity asked.
"Heh! I'm good at using the force huh?" said Flare with an embarrassed look on his face, then he drops Rarity gently. "Sorry about that. At least that wasn't the water squirter, or the shoop da whoop!"
"So what brings you to ponyville sweetie?" asked Rarity.
"Wow, Applejack called me that too, sort of. I'm here because where I'm from, which is Mareami, there's too much violence and anger, so I decided to move here, where everypony is everypony's friend. Smiley face." said Flare.
"Well it's nice to have somepony new in town! You seem like a nice fellow, maybe we can hang out one day!" said Rarity with a smile. "I've been to Mareami once, that's when I learned never walk around Hoofington Beach in a purple dress. A carriage drove into some mud and got me all dirty."
"Yeah, that happens." Flare said. "How about we can hang today? After I find Twilight and pay my rent, I'd have to learn about lots of new stuff you ponies do that where I'm from doesn't have. And I'll show you what we outsiders do!" said Flare with a smile.
"Sounds smashing!" said Rarity.
"Hulk smashing?" asked Flare.
"What?" asked Rarity.
"What?" asked Flare.
"What did you say?" asked Rarity.
"Uhhhh, what were we talking about again? Fortyfive degree angle mouth face." said Flare with a fake confused look on his face.
"Well, uhhhhhh, Twilight just left. She went back to her library to finish stuff up." said Rarity.
Flare hoofs his face.
"Sigh, facehoof. Now we have to go all the way back to where we started. Straight face." said Flare.
"You say your facial expressions too much, dude." Spike said to him.
"I can't help it. It's a habit, I'm dead serious, I have so many problems, that's why I moved here." Flare said.
"Sorry deary. Now if you please, I have lots of stuff to do. So if it's okay with you, may I go back to work?" asked Rarity.
"Of course Rarity, go on ahead! Sigh." said Flare with a sad look on his face.
Flare, Spike and Rainbow then walk outside, with an upsetting look on their faces.
"Sigh. Flare's been walking all day! Flare's hungry. Flare needs something to eat." said Flare.
"Well, once we're back at Twilight's, I'm sure we'll have something to eat there." said Rainbow Dash with a smile.
"What makes you think she's going to give us food?" asked Flare.
"She always helps friends in need." said Rainbow Dash.
"Well, the sooner we get back to the house the better. Serious face." said Flare.
"So what are you going to do for a living, Flare?" Spike asked.
"I dunno. Probably open a Pizza shop. My grandma's a great cook, she taught me everything she knows! I also went to the Chef's University of Mareami, I made lots of pizzas, pastas, parms, you name it!" Flare said.
"Then why do you have a computer mouse as a cutie mark?" Spike asked.
"My dad let me play Hoofenstein 3-D on his computer when I was 3 years old. I became a pro shortly after. I play video games alot." Flare explained.
"So how did you become a great chef?" Rainbow asked.
"The computer world has so many different things! Information and such, like the interwebs. Probably to do with recipes, or the Cooking Mama video game." Flare explained.
"Oh..." Rainbow said.
"Now let's go! I HUNGER! This feels like the Hungry Games! I loved that movie." Flare said.
Flare, Rainbow and Spike made it to Twilight's.
"You know what's weird guys?" asked Spike.
"Pinkie Pie?" asked Flare.
"Besides that. After we left Rarity's, there's not a pony in sight. Where is everypony?" asked Spike.
"I-D-K. Why do you think they named the first Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with a four on it?" asked Flare.
"What are you talking about?" asked Spike.
"A video game." said Flare.
"What's a video game?" asked Spike.
"Are you kidding? There's no video games around here? This is a strange town. Everyone is friendly, but they're missing so much!" said Flare.
"Well once you've rented Twilight's front yard, you can tell us all about these so called video games." said Rainbow Dash.
Flare opens the door as they walk inside Twilight's house. Twilight's house is completely dark.
"Hm, where's the light switch?" asked Flare.
Flare turns on the lights, and there are lots and lots of ponies inside.
"SURPRISE!" cried Everypony.
"SURPRISE FACE!" cried Flare as he fell on the floor and blacked out.
Flare eventually opens his eyes a little bit and sees ponies surrounding him.
"Are you alright sugarcube?" asked AppleJack.
"I wonder why he blacked out?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"We probably over-surprised him." said Fluttershy.
"Aw, I through this party just for him. He's going to be angry when he wakes up." said Pinkie Pie.
Flare's eyes open fully, so everypony else can see he's awake.
"Oh looks he's waking up! Rise and shine darling!" said Rarity.
"Crying face." said Flare as tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Oh no! We probably hurt him! I'm so sorry!" said Fluttershy as she hugged him.
"Darling, we didn't know that was too much for you." said Rarity sadly.
"Oh please don't hate us!" begged Pinkie Pie.
Flare makes an angry look on his face.
"Hate you? HATE YOU?!" Flare screamed.
"Oh no!" cried Spike.
Flare smiles with tears.
"I would I hate you? Happy crying face. This is the greatest thing anypony has given me! Nobody ever through me a surprise party before, I never had this many friends before, and I never seen this many happy faces at once before. This is the greatest day of Flare's life... so far!" said Flare.
Everypony cheers. Then a purple unicorn named Twilight walks to Flare.
"I assume you were looking for me?" asked Twilight.
"Ah! You must be Twilight Sparkle! I must say, you're way better than the movie!" giggled Flare as he shooked Twilight's hoof.
"Huh?" asked Twilight.
"Oh nothing! Listen, I want to move my trailer in your front yard, so how much can I pay you to rent out your front yard for me?" asked Flare.
"Oh you don't have to pay!" said Twilight with a smile and a squeek.
"Oh good, after all I don't need to pay... WHAAAAAAAAAT?!" said Flare.
"You don't have to pay a thing for staying in my front yard. It's no big deal." said Twilight.
"No... big deal?" asked Flare in shock with a squeaky voice. Twilight nodded.
"And best of all! We have a new friend in town!" said Twilight.
"My name is Flare Gun! And this... is my SHOOP DA WHOOP! "Flare's horn shoots a flare and the flare gets shot out the window and into the sky. "Oh there we go! I was wondering when that would start working again! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!"
"Seriously, why do you do that?" Rarity asked.
"I have serious problems." Flare said.
Everypony laughs. After a couple of hours the party ends. Everypony except for the Mane 6 and Spike exit Twilight's house.
"Thanks for everything my friends! I can't believe a whole town would take time away from their day just to give me a party!" said Flare with a smile.
"Well it's pretty sad that nopony took the time to make a party for you!" said Pinkie.
"By the looks of things, I hate where you're from!" said Rarity.
"Hate seems like a strong word to say, strongy dislike sounds good, capeesh?" asked Flare.
"So about showing us your awesome looking home!" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Oh my home is more than what you think. It's probably more interestin than Derpy's ability to cross her eyes like that! C'mon I'll show you!" said Flare as they all walked to Flare's trailer.
"Here we are!" said Flare.
"Seems kinda small, don't ya think?" asked AppleJack.
"It may look small from the outside, but thanks to the magic of Equestria, it's HUGE inside!" said Flare.
"Wow!" said everypony.
"So c'mon bro! Let's head inside!" said Spike walking to the door about to open it.
"Not so fast Spike! My trailer has a high security system! I'll need to shut it down before any of you can go inside." said Flare.
Flare punches in a code on the keypad next to the door. The keypad opens revealing a hoof scanner. He scans his hoof and an eye scanner appears, and he scans his eye.
"Password, please?" asked the Security System.
"No pigs allowed." said Flare as everypony started looking at one another, confused.
"Password accepted. Welcome home brah!" said the Security System.
"Thanks brah!" said Flare to the Security System. Then Flare said to the ponies; "I have to say thanks brah to the security system, or it'll turn on again. It's a backup security system. I trust you all, don't tell anypony about this!"
"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" said Pinkie.
Flare then sticks a cupcake in Pinkie's eye.
"ROFL! C'mon in guys!" said Flare.
Everypony walks in.
"Catch ya on the flipside!" Flare said to the security system.
"Thanks, brah!" said the Security System as it went back online. The ponies looked around the trailer in shock.
"Oh my! This trailer looks bigger on the inside than on the outside!" said Rarity.
"Yeah, like the TARDIS! Anyways, it's not that much, it's still a one-story. And there are eight different doors in this hallway. Pefect for a chase, like in Scooby Doo!" said Flare.
"Scooby who?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Where are you? ROFL!" said Flare as he laughed. Any-who let me show you guys around." said Flare. They wentt through the first door on the right revealing a big room with lots of electronics.
"This is the main lounge! It has an XBUCKS 360 with a TV, two computers, a pool table, a stick hockey game, pinball, a snack machine, a soda machine, and an ice cream machine! Yep, all the cool junk is in here!" said Flare.
"WOW! I'm in heaven! Hey bro, is it okay if I try all this stuff out?" asked Spike.
"By all means bro!" said Flare.
"So where to next Sugar Cube?" asked AppleJack.
"Follow Flare!" said Flare as they walk across the hallway to the first door on the left to the entrance, and they went inside.
"Welcome to the kitchen! All the art of cooking is in here! I have a cooking learner computer over there, all the food is stored in that fridge, it's a big fridge you know! There is the oven over there, along with the microwave oven, a sink, a password protected cookie jar so the little ones won't have to take any, and we eat at this table. Depending on the occasion, it grows, and more chairs pop up." explained Flare.
"Ooh, ooh! I love cooking! May I stay and make some cupcakes? Can I? Can I? Can I?" asked Pinkie as she hopped around the kitchen.
"I dunno, CAN you?" asked Flare sarcastically.
"MAY I?" asked Pinkie mischievously.
"Of course!" said Flare.
"YAY! You're the best friend a pony can hope to have!" cheered Pinkie Pie as she hugs Flare.
"Well this will keep her busy. Ahem, to continue." said Flare as he takes the others to the second door on the left.
"This is the exercise room! Even a pony like me needs to be huff and puff and able to blow your house down, you know?" explained Flare.
"Golly! So much exercise equipment! Big Mac and I love to exercise! Make sure we have the muscle to kick down dem apples outta the trees!" said AJ.
"Well if you want to exercise your hoofs, try the weights over here. The weights come with a weight changer so in case it's too strong, or too weak for you, you can change it." explained Flare.
"Golly!" AppleJack said.
"I never use them, they're just so everypony would think I work out." Flare whispered to Spike. "Shall we?" Flare asked as we walked. Then they walk from room to room as Flare explains what they are. "Bathroom... Living Room... Collection Room... Guest Bedroom... MY bedroom!" Then Flare stopped and saw that it was only him and Twilight in the room. "Huh? What happened to the others?"
"Well, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash stayed in the Living Room to relax, Rarity went to check out your collection room, Spike went to check out your video games, AppleJack went to work out, Pinkie's in the kitchen, so it's just us then." said Twilight.
"Well this is the last room. Pretty interesting huh?" asked Flare.
"I'll say! You don't have a library?" asked Twilight.
"Who needs a libary? I have a whole collection of stories on my laptop right here." asked Flare as he takes out his laptop and shows Twilight.
"Wow! You sure do have some pretty advanced stuff Flare. Back in Mareami, they must have a pretty advanced civilization." said Twilight.
"That's my bed, my closet, my personal password-protected chest, and I ain't telling you the code kay?" explained Flare.
"It's fine." said Twilight.
"And over there is my fish tank!" explained Flare.
Twilight then walks to the fish tank and looks at some of the fish.
"Wow! Cool fish!" said Twilight.
"Hey fishies! Hey fishies! How you doing? How you doing fishies?" Flare said to the fish. The fish swim to Flare. "Who's a happy fish? Who's a happy fish? Who's a happy fish?"
"Wow, they're cute! Do they have names?" asked Twilight.
"The black molly's name is Darrel, the white molly is Pearl, the yoyo loach is Yoyo, the Rainbow fish is Rainbow, the other rainbow fish is Dorthey, and the Albino catfish is Piddles." explained Flare.
"Awesome!" said Twilight.
"Yep, and what makes them special, is that they're not like other fish. They have personalities. I make sure I protect these fish with my life! They mean everything to me." Flare puts his hooves on Twilight's shoulders. "I'll tell you this right now, sister. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY messes with my fish! I am so serious face right now! Do you understand me?"
"Yes, Flare. I understand completely." said Twilight.
"You know, this is great. First day in town, new friends, new home, new experiences, it can't get any better than this!" said Flare as he smiled.
"So did you learn anything about friendship today?" asked Twilight.
"Yes I have, in fact, more than I should've." Flare said.
Twilight laughs and says; "Well why don't you write a letter to Princess Celestia?"
"Princess Celestia? How about Princess Luna? Flare asked.
"Why not?" Twilight asked.
"Well, Celestia shows off too much, thinks she's the better sibling. Now don't get me wrong, I like her, I respect her, but how about giving Luna a chance?" Flare asked.
"Wouldn't it be easier e-mailing her?" asked Flare.
"Yes, but Celestia gives me more credit this way." Twilight said, giving Flare a letter.
"Alrighty then!" Flare said. Then Flare started writing his letter, it goes:
Dear Princess Molestia...
"Celestia." Twilight corrected him."
...Celestia,
I'm new in ponyville, in fact I'm new in Equestria! Where I came from, there was anger, hate, suffering, and violance. Here is much better! I made lots of new friends, they showed me what it means to be happy face again! Sometimes you just need to get out of your old town and move somewhere better, but one things for certain... There's no place like home!
Your loyal subject,
Flare Gun,
with his flare gun!
Flare's hornsaber comes on.
"Wow, really? I seriously need to learn to work this thing better." said Flare touching his horn giving it a glare.
"Here, I'll show you some magics, and how to work that thing better." said Twilight.
"What about the letter?" asked Flare.
"Spike can handle it." said Twilight as Spike walks in hearing the conversation.
"Yeah I can handle it." he said. Spike fires his breath and the note disappears.
"Spike? What the hay brah? I worked so hard on that letter, and you destroyed it?" asked Flare.
"No, that fire breath is used to send letters to the princess." said Twilight giggling.
"Kay, but how would we get a reply?" asked Flare.
Spike coughs up the response from the princess.
"Ew!" said Flare with a disgusting look on his face.
Spike reads the letter to Flare and Twilight, it reads:
Dear Flare Gun, with his flare gun,
Welcome to Equestria! I hope you enjoy your stay. I see you've met new friends, including my student. You're welcome to stay as long as you want! But just to let you know, your old friends and family where you're from might want to see you again. You should contact them, and visit them when you have the chance... Bro!
Your princess,
Celestia.
"Wow the princess the friendly! Not all princesses are like that you know." said Flare.
"Well c'mon let's go, I'll show you how to work your horn better." said Twilight.
"Yep! This is going to be a great relationship with these ponies! I can tell!" Flare said, as he put on a top hat and is carrying a cane.
"Wha-what are you doing?" Twilight asked.
"Ponyville will certainly change my life, and here is why..." Flare said, and started singing a parody of the Worry Song by Gene Kelly:
"You may think I'm from a city that's so happy and fun
But it was so very dramatic and my happy was none
But if I stayed then the price I paid would be so very high priced
And if you think you don't believe me, ask my freezer ice!"
"You may think that the city of Mareami is so hot and dry
But it was so very very fun if you gave it a try
You may laugh and sing and dance as happily as an elf, but...
If you think you'd make much friends there, you should try it yourself."
Flare starts dancing and jumping around on his furniture, falling on the floor, kicking his legs, and such, then he continues singing:
"We have XBUCKS, and space center, we even have theme parks
We had beaches, we had night clubs, and our alleys were dark
But my friendship was not enough for those ponies to handle
But as long as I don't have wings, I should have a red bull!"
"They were tators, they were jerk-offs, they were even bullies
I used to be very happy there, until I took an arrow to the knee
You may laugh and sing and dance as happily as an elf, but...
If you think you'd make much friends there, you should try it yourself."
Flare starts dancing again. "Well I hope you're happy here, Flare!" Twilight said
"I will be happy here! You like to sing right?" Flare asked her.
"All the time!" Twilight smiled.
"Then join me!" Flare said, taking his hoof out.
"Okay!" Twilight said, and started singing:
" In this town you'll get your friendship, and none will ever stab you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry, do you have any clue?
Ponyville is a town that's full of friendship, and I'm even researching it.
If you stay here, that I guarantee it, you will certainly fit!"
"We have parties, we have events, and even fun adventures
Everything will keep you happy, as long as you'll stay for sure.
You can laugh and sing and dance as gayly as an elf, but...
If I think that I'd make much friends there, I should try it myself!"
"Will you try?" Flare asked.
"If you show me!" Twilight said.
"I'll show you!" Flare said.
"I'll try!" Twilight said.
"Good! 1, 2, 3, 4..." Flare sang as he tapped on the floor.
"1, 2, 3, 4..." Twilight repeated, doing the same.
"1, 2, 3..." Flare sang, tapping a different way.
"1, 2, 3..." Twilight repeated.
"La la la la la." Flare danced.
"La la la la la." Twilight repeated.
"You see?" Flare asked smiling.
"IT'S EASY!" Twilight said. Flare took Twilight's hoof, and started walking around the trailer, and started doing a couple of random dances, like you'd see on the Anchor's Away video. Once we finished dancing, the other's started clopping their hooves together and cheered.
"Yep! I guarantee that life here will be much better than Mareami! Thank you, Luna!" Flare said smiling.
