HELLO MY READERS/ CHAMPIONS! If you have read all my other stories, in the right order, then I consider you my champions!
Lance- Man, is there any way to stop you from raiding my snacks...and sodas?
Me- NOPE!
Lance- *sigh* I swear, I feel like I have to place them in Fort Knox!
Me- ON WITH THE SHOW!
Disclaimer: LOOK AT THE SUMMARY!
Lance
(Cue song: Venice Rooftops) He felt a spike of adrenaline as he sped through the streets of the town. He was thankful that he was small enough to hide in the crowd. He turned the corner onto a larger street. He was halfway down the street when he felt his instincts kick in.
His impulse to leap to the left saved him from being grabbed by the orange pony he met earlier. He saw an upcoming sharp turn. He jumped into the air and grabbed the light pole on the corner of the turn, using his momentum to turn him onto the new street.
He made a left into a crowded area. Lance checked his surrounding and found that he lost the orange pony. He trotted back onto the larger street, careful to check his surroundings. He just entered a large park when his instincts kicked in again. This time his impulse was to roll to the left.
He was again saved because this time, a cyan colored pegasus did a dive grab for him. He turned and sprinted as fast as his horse legs could go. As he was sprinting he checked behind him. The pegasus and the orange pony were behind him, but they were having some trouble making their way through the crowd.
Lance had to act fast. He checked ahead and saw a stack of boxes, arranged in a way that he could use them. He made his way toward the left side of the street. He leapt up each box as quickly as he could. He made his way to the rooftop of a long building. He looked back down to see the orange pony was following on the ground while the cyan one was flying up higher.
He looked back towards the end of the building and saw it led to a huge common area with a frilly looking building in the center of it. What he was really looking at was the building had ropes, with small plastic triangular flags, attached to different building. The cyan pegasus was almost able to reach him.
At the end of the building, Lance leapt forward and bit down on a rope. His momentum detached the rope from the building, allowing to him to swing down. He had so much adrenaline that, at the bottom of his swing, he was able to see a group of small ponies (his height) and a magenta pony stop and stare in awe as he passed by. At the end of his swing, he let go of the rope to propel him forward. He tucked into a ball. As soon as he made contact to the ground, he rolled, jumped, and uncurled in midair.
He sprinted down the street, turning hard right. He looked back to see they were still after him. When he looked forward, he almost ran into a larger pony than he has seen yet. He turned into a sideways slide, sliding under the larger pony. Time slowed down as he slid. The larger pony looked at him in shock as he pushed himself up once he was out from under it. He sprinted as fast as he could now.
He checked behind him once more. This time he only saw the orange pony chasing him. Too late, he realized, that the pegasus was in front of him. Lance looked forward again to see the pegasus was a few yards in front of him, holding a burlap sack. He tried to stop, but he only skidded into the burlap sack. (End que song)
Thalia
Thalia was sitting around bored while she, Percy, Annabeth, and Nico waited while the ponies brought Lance back. She was half asleep when Nico nudged her. She looked up to see the orange pony trotting along side a cyan pegasus with a cloud and a rainbow-colored lightning bolt flying low, holding a burlap sack. They stopped and the pegasus carefully set down the burlap sack.
Lance rolled out of the bag, looking sleepy. He yawned, "Well that was fun." The purple pony smiled. "I bet it was. I have never known any young colt who could manage to keep ahead of Applejack and Rainbow Dash." The pegasus trotted up to him. "Ya know kid, that was some amazing tricks you did. That part with the rope? Awesome." she had raised one hoof in salute. Applejack nodded her head in agreement.
A few more ponies showed up. One had a white coat with a curly purple mane, a horn, and three diamonds on her flank. Another was a pegasus with a yellow coat with a pink mane that had a few curls and a picture of butterflies on her flank. The regular pony, however, had bolted to the group. She had a pink coat, a picture of balloons on her flank, and a darker pink mane that was extremely curly.
"Hi my name's Pinkie Pie." She had her front hooves raised up in a TaDa! pose. "Welcome to Ponyville!" She pointed off to the new ponies. "That's Fluttershy!" The yellow pegasus blushed and looked like she was looking at a hellhound, but she managed a smile.
Pinkie Pie pointed to the white one. "That's Rarity." Rarity have waved her hair with a hoof. "It's nice to meet you all." She noticed Lance. "You seemed quite ecstatic when you swung on a rope from my beauty parlor." Lance just gave a grin. While Pinkie was telling is all about the party she would throw us, at rapid-fire speed, Thalia heard Annabeth inhale sharply. Looking up, she saw a white pony, larger than any she has seen here, trot up to us.
"Hello Twilight. Who are your new friends?" Twilight looked at the new arrival. "Hello Princess Celestia. These ponies here are Seaweed Brain, Wise Girl, Thunderclap, Timeholder, and Tidal Wave." Celestia looked each of us over, stopping on Lance.
"You're quite the excited little colt aren't you?" Lance was still grinning. Suddenly, Celestia's eyes widened. Lance looked behind him to see what was wrong. So did Thalia. When nothing jumped out behind them, Thalia looked back to see the other six were gaping at Lance. "What," he asked.
The six ponies bowed while Celestia simply looked stupefied. "It seems there is another alicorn in Ponyville." Lance looked confused. "Say what now?
Percy
There were times when Percy didn't even try to comprehend what others were saying but what that tall pony just said really took the cake. He wasn't sure why they were bowing to Lance (Lance could barely play Age of Empires without destroying his own town). "What's an alicorn," he heard Annabeth ask.
"An alicorn is a royal pony. Only mare alicorns get wings and a horn. The colt alicorns only have a longer horn." Lance grinned. "Looks like I'm an exception!" Percy did a facepalm (or was it facehoof?) and sighed. He heard the other six laugh. Once the laughter died down, Twilight spoke up. "The only thing left to do now is to find places for you all to stay at."
Applejack raised her hand..er..hoof. "Ah'll take in the little 'un and the green 'un." Rainbow Dash spoke next. "I'll take the pegasus." Thalia looked a little worried but Annabeth whispered something to her and she seemed to calm down.
"Then I will take in Wise Girl and Timeholder." Twilight beamed at her own thought. Percy looked at his friends and brother. They all nodded. "Okay. We're in." They each gathered up with the ponies who volunteered to take them in. As they departed, Percy gave Annabeth a look that said I will see you tomorrow. Lance had hopped up onto Percy's back and leaned over the top of his head. They followed Applejack down a dirt road that led to a HUGE apple farm!
By the front gate was a red mountain of a horse. "Hey Macintosh. We have some new friends who will be stayin' with us for awhile." He merely looked up, then went back to dragging a plow. Percy followed Applejack up to a rural farmhouse. An old, olive green pony was sitting in a rocking chair. "Well hello there Applejack. Who're your friends?" She even sounded like a typical southern grandma.
"These here ponies needed a place t' stay so I volunteered for them to stay with us." The old pony studied Lance and Percy. She sat back down in her rocking chair. "Y'all gonna be stayin' here y'all have to work here as well." Percy nodded. "Sure, we'll help out but can we rest for a little? We're both tired." He heard Lance yawn but he didn't know whether it was for emphasis or for real.
The old pony nodded. "Alright. Just be sure to wake up when Applejack tells y'all to." "Of course." Applejack led them inside. It even looked like a rural home on the inside! They followed Applejack up the stairs to a guest room. It had two single beds, a dresser with a mirror, and a window. "Just so y'all know, work starts at the crack of dawn." "Okay." Applejack closed the door as she trotted out. Lance hopped off Percy's back, headed for one of the beds, and crashed as soon as his head hit the pillow. Percy looked out the window at the setting sun. He headed for a bed and, like Lance, Percy was out as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Nico
Nico trotted along next to Annabeth as they followed Twilight. He was never one for introductions but Annabeth had thought otherwise. Twilight was telling them all about the buildings of Ponyville. She showed them where the bakery was (Lance would love it there), the beauty parlor that Rarity (Nico hoped he got her name right) mentioned. His mind started to wander. He was thinking of things like 'How they paid for stuff here?' and 'Do ponies have dyslexia?'
He was thinking so much he didn't notice Annabeth had stopped. He bumped into her. He almost told her off when Twilight said, "We're here!" Nico looked to see they were back at the treehouse. They were led back inside the library except there was a little purple dragon. "Hi Spike. Say hello to our new guests." He turned. "Hey ya guys. Nice to meet you." Annabeth nodded. She elbowed Nico (can ponies elbow things?) when he didn't reply.
"Hey." Nico simply replied. Annabeth rolled her eyes, but apparently Twilight thought differently. "I'll show you guys to your rooms. You both must be tired after today." All Nico did was nod in agreement. He followed Twilight to what he thought was the guest room. It had two beds, a bookshelf with a few books, and a window.
He went to the bed farthest from the door and plopped down on the bed. He thought of one thing before he fell asleep. I wonder how the school is here.
Thalia
Thalia was a bit worried. Her fear of heights overtook her as Rainbow Dash had volunteered to take her in. Annabeth had whispered that all the pegasi here could walk on clouds.
She still felt a little tense because she didn't really know how to use her wings. When they parted, Thalia kept trying to focus on using her wings. No luck. Rainbow Dash seemed to notice.
"The key to flying is to relax." She placed a hoof on one of Thalia's wings. "Twilight told us that you guys lost your memory. Do you feel this?" Thalia nodded as Rainbow Dash had moved her wing slightly.
"Good. Now, go off that feeling." Thalia concentrated on her moving her wings as instructed. She felt them give a flap."Alright! Keep going!" Rainbow Dash cheered. She willed them to move faster and harder. Thalia concentrated so much on moving her wings that she didn't feel herself being lifted from the ground.
It was only until she opened her eyes that she noticed she was a few yards off the ground. Rainbow Dash flew up next to her. "Great job kid! Race ya to Cloudsdale!" She sped off. Thalia grinned and gunned forward. She snuck up on Rainbow Dash, tapped her on the shoulder, then flew to the other side of her.
Rainbow looked over her shoulder to where Thalia just was, then looked over to where Thalia was. "Glad to have some competition!" They both flew as fast as they could, landing with a thud on a cloud. Thalia sat up giggling. "That was the best fun I've had in awhile. Rainbow sat up smiling. "We should do this again sometime."
Thalia followed Rainbow Dash to a house built entirely out of clouds. As she approached she thought of something. I wonder how much mischief Lance will cause.
THERE IT IS PEOPLES! The next chapter! It wasn't as actiony as you'd think (except for the beginning) but there are some points in a story that have to lead into the more awesome parts.
Don't worry, I promise it'll pick up soon!
Until next time: DEUCE!
