Sugar Cube Corner:

It was a lovely morning like any other. Rarity and Fluttershy entered the Sugar Cube Corner with smiles on their faces. Pinkie suddenly appeared from behind the counter, full of energy as usual, "Hiya girls, how did you enjoy the party last night? It was awesome wasn't it? I had a blast. I think it was the best party I threw yet, aside from the wedding party."

Rarity nodded in agreement, "Yes darling, it was spectacular. I really enjoyed myself."

Fluttershy nodded and spoke softly, "It was big and loud and fun. Maybe you can throw another one sometime. If that's okay with you Pinkie, I mean you don't have to if you don't want to."

"Are you kidding," Pinkie said in excitement, "I'm definitely doing that again for any new pony who comes to town."

Rarity raised an eyebrow and looked around, "Speaking of new ponies, have you two seen those two new stallions from last night? I don't think they left." The other girls shook their heads and started to look around with Rarity. Suddenly a grey looking pegasus with a blonde mane and tail came crashing into the store.

Fluttershy rushed over to help, "Are you okay Derpy?"

Derpy raised her head showing yellow wall eyes and spoke in a sweet, innocent child like voice, "Yeah I'm fine, this happens all the time."

Rarity sighed, "Oh good, I'm glad you're safe dear."

Derpy smiled, "Thanks for caring girls. Hey, is Laharl here? I didn't really see him leave from the party last night."

"FEAR NOT, FOR I AM HERE!" The girl looked up and saw a pony fall from the chandelier, it was Laharl. He sprung right up, cracked his back and yawned really loud, revealing his sharp teeth.

He looked like he slept for days on his left side. Pinkie looked in amazement, "Looks like somepony partied to hardied."

He looked at her with a grin, "Oh like you wouldn't believe. Now who wanted me for somethin'?" Derpy walked over to him, reached in her mail pouch with her muzzle and pulled out an envelope. He reached out with with his hoof and took the letter, "Grazie."

He took out a pair of glasses from his coat, put them on his face, opened the letter and began reading it. Fluttershy's face started to heat up a little from seeing how handsome he looks in his glasses. Laharl then put the letter and his glasses in his coat and started to look around the shop, "Have you girls seen laughing boy around?"

They shook their heads and then there was a loud thud. Issac was laying there on the ground, "Mmmm, give me five for minutes mommy."

Laharl walked over, looking disgruntled, "Mommy needs you to get up now." He grabbed Issac by the tail and started to drag him out of the store.

"Such strange stallions," Rarity said and the other girls nodding in agreement.

Train to Canterlot:

"So," Issac said in an unimpressed tone, "why are we going to this Canterlot place?"

Laharl looked up, "Princesses Celestia and Luna want to see the both of us for something."

Issac sighed in annoyance, "My god, what did we do this time?"

"Don't know man, probably work. That's what we mostly do when we go anywhere."

"How do they know we are powerful overlords?"

"They would have to be very powerful themselves in order to figure that out." The rest of the trip was in silence.

Canterlot Castle:

There were guards already there to take them to the princesses. The inside was extravagant, lined with many fancy tapestries and paintings of royalty. An assortment of fancy jewels was displayed in cases. Issac started to drool at all the potential treasure.

He said in a low, excited voice, "Laharl...can you see the..."

Laharl interrupted with a simple, "Yup."

"I mean it all looks so..."

"Yup."

"And how rare most of... "

"Yup."

"Do you think we could just..."

"No."

Issac looked disappointed, "But...maybe just... "

"NO! We don't need any more trouble."

They finally reached the royal chambers and were greeted by two beautiful alicorns. One was tall and white with multicolored mane and tail. The other was black and had a mane and tail that looked like a starry night. "You guards may leave us now," the white alicorn said in a commanding voice. They left and the white one said to the two strange stallions, "I am Princess Celestia."

The black one pointed a hoof at herself, "And I am Princess Luna."

Laharl waved his hoof at them, "Yeah yeah yeah. You both know us and whatnot, so lets skip all this BS and get to the important business."

Luna stomped her hooves on the floor, "How dare thou speak to us in such a vulgar manner! Does thou not know who we are."

Celestia put her leg out in front of her sister, "Easy Luna, these two are very powerful themselves and know magic we don't."

"How dear sister?"

"They know magic that we don't and are overlords."

Luna looked at both the stallions with disbelief, 'How can these two be that powerful?' Both stallions gave devious grins to the princesses.

Issacs grin disappeared when he gave a sniff and leaned over to Laharl, "That Celestia smells like the woman who gave me those pamphlets on Blackcity."

"Now," Celestia said, "to the business we need to discuss."

Laharl sighed, "Alright... what do you need us to do?"

Everfree Forest:

Issac was laughing while he and Laharl walked through the dark and mysterious Everfree Forest. "So," he said through his laughing, "what kind of horrifying place is Sunny Town? Yeah, sounds really spoooky."

Laharl had his serious face on, "Don't know, but it must be bad enough to scare those alicorns."

As they walked further into the forest, it got darker and more noisy. Eyes were peering through the darkness and whispers can be heard through the dense plantation. Laharl came to a sudden halt and Issac stopped a little after. "Alright," Laharl said in a commanding voice, "why are you three following us in here?"

Both men turned around to see three sweet, little fillies. One was Applebloom from the farm. The second was a light white unicorn with a light pink and purple mane and tail and had green eyes. The third was an orange pegasus with fuchsia mane and tail and had purple eyes. "How'd you find us so quickly Mister Laharl," Apple Bloom asked in a surprised way.

Laharl waved his hoof at the fillies, "That's not the point," then he stomped his hoof on the ground, "what are you three doing following us?"

"Well," the white unicorn said in a sweet voice, "if you're looking for Zecora's house, you missed it a while back."

"Yeah, I saw it too," Issac said joyfully.

Laharl then punched Issac in the back of the head hard and yelled, "YOU IDIOT, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS EARLIER!"

"Because I couldn't see what was written on the sign," then Issac proceeded to laugh.

Laharl's right eye started twitch and he lowered his head, "You moron," he said out of anger.

The orange pegasus stamped her hoof on the ground, "How can you hit your friend like that?"

The white unicorn spoke up, "Scootaloo, don't yell," she spoke quietly, "they might hit us," then she sunk back.

Scootaloo turned to her, "Sweetie Belle, you need to stand your ground."

By the time she turned back to the strange stallions, Laharl stood right in front of them with a serious look on his face, "You three followed complete strangers into a dark forest, you're the ones at fault."

Apple Bloom scared, looked him in the eye, "But we saw you go into the forest and got yourselves lost, so the Cutie Mark Crusaders came to the rescue."

Issac gave a confused look, "Cutie Mark Crusaders?"

The three young fillies took out velvet capes with strange symbols on them. Then the three shouted in unison, "WE ARE THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS! ON A QUEST TO GET OUR CUTIE MARKS!" Both men looked confused at the situation.

Laharl shook his head and put his hoof in his face, "Look if you know where Zecora is, please take us to her." The fillies looked happy with mouths opened and eyes all shiny. He then pointed a hoof at them, "But when we are done with business with her, you all will stay there while she calls your family and have them come and get you all." The girls all nodded in agreement.

Zecora's House:

"You should know this is not a forest of pine, Please do not waste my time," spoke the strange zebra.

'She rhymes," Laharl thought. "Celestia told us you know the where the entrance to Sunny Town is," he said in a calm manner.

"It is true what she said," then Zecora made a scared face, "but why would you want to go to the town of the dead?"

Laharl leaned over the table, "That place has an 'infestation' problem and she wants us to care of it." Zecora nodded while Issac was eating some fruit. Outside the crusaders were playing around waiting for the guys to get done.

"Well, well, well... if it isn't my favorite BLANK FLANKS!" The girls turned to see to fillies at the pathway outside Zecora's field. One was pink with violent mane and tail with white streaks and a tiara on her head. "What a sight for sore eyes, right Silver Spoon," she said turning to her friend. The other was dark grey with grey and silver streak mane and tail with bluish grey eyes and light blue glasses with matching color pearls around her neck.

"Oooooh, looking at them hurts my eyes Diamond Tiara," she said covering her eyes in a dramatic manner.

Scootaloo got angry, "What are you two prissies doing out here?"

"Why," Diamond said pointing her hoof at herself, "I heard Zecora has a potion for getting beautiful skin and my mom just had to have it. So we came out here to get it only to find 'Blank Flanks'."

Apple Bloom stepped up, "Ya'all better stop call'in us that now or things is gonna get ugly."

"Not as ugly as you three," Silver said causing her and Diamond to giggle mischievously.

Scootaloo's nostrils flared up, "That's it, we are so tired of the teasing. It's time for a three on two scuffle." Then the crusaders charged with angry faces on.

The two fancy fillies screamed and were chased into the forest. Laharl and Issac came bursting out of Zecoras hut. "To the town they ran, friends and Apple Bloom, you must save them before they meet their doom," she said out of worry.

"You don't need to tell us twice," Issac said before both stallions ran after the fillies.
