Chapter 7. Tickets really
It was the next day in ponyVille and the first thing Harry did was head towards the library and ignoring the looks sent his way Harry pulled open the door and was going to walk in when he noticed Twilight was at the door
"Oh hey Twilight mind if I join you" Harry asked smiling and surprised Twilight stared at Harry a bit before she nodded smiling
"Sure thing come on I'm heading towards Applejack's to help her Apple buck" Twilight said as she walked out of her home and closed her door till she realized something and looked at Harry up and down
"Wait can you Apple buck" Twilight asked looking at Harry's skinny legs as the boy shrugged
"I can Apple buck but not as well as you ponies so I might just have to climb up a tree and toss the apples down" Harry stated shrugging as he walked with Twilight and Spike before his sister appeared on his shoulder surprising the two
"Yeah if I remember you tried to apple buck even before you became a LTF and almost snapped your leg trying" Scooterloo stated smirking as Harry rolled his eyes at Twilight and Spike's worried looks
"Heh I would have been fine the pain wouldn't have even bothered me besides AppleTimber stopped me before I could" Harry stated as they walked into sweet apple acres and after waving towards Applejack and telling her that they would be joining her they started off Harry and Scooterloo jumping up into the trees and started shaking them which caused the apples to fall down towards the walking Ponies who quickly tried to get the apples with Twilight admittedly missing some and as they continued on Applejack paused a bit alongside Harry as they noticed Spike throwing apples out of the basket
"Spike why the hay are you throwing out good apples" Scooterloo asked looking down at the dragon and surprising the two mares at her cussing
"I'm looking for a good one" Spike said before he noticed Scooterloo's glare
"Oh look heh found one" Spike stated laying back on Twilight's basket and was about to bite into one when Harry swooped down and napped it from his hands
"Come on Spike you can eat a apple after we get it in the barn" Harry stated smirking before tossing the apple into Applejacks basket and causing the Mares to nod and Spike to grumble that is till a gem fell on his head and looking up he saw Scooterloo wink
"What we said you couldn't eat the apples" Scooterloo said and smiling Spike instantly ate the gem while Applejack told Twilight and Harry about the dare she made with big macintosh then as they continued walking Twilight made mention of her getting hungry right as Spike sent out some flame and summoned mail and quickly Spike read the mail as Twilight explained that it was from Princess celestia and instantly when Spike read about The Grand galloping gala Harry groaned
"Oh no its that time already" Harry Muttered causing all of them not in the know to look at him weirdly
"What but it's the grand galloping gala" Twilight stated causing Harry to frown
"Yeah the day when a bunch of jack ass's come from all over and try and suck up to Celestia and you guys while assassin's also try and attack yeah no and don't even get me started on those rich bastards" Harry growled his eyes slowly taking a purple tint although what he said caused both girls to look at each other
"Although if any of you guys are going then we have to as well as your bodyguards" Harry stated rolling his eyes while Twilight instantly sent them a look
"So the other ticket is for" Twilight started to say before Harry instantly shock his head
"Oh no that extra ticket is for you to pass along to whoever I get instant access as your bodyguard if you or any of the others have a invite to anything then I by extension also have one" Harry stated and instantly Applejack started trying to talk Twilight into letting her come along and not feeling hungry anymore Harry started walking away while waving goodbye to the two and heading towards his home to look for his tux.
"Huh it should be in here some where" Harry muttered as he tossed aside a ripped apart Hoodie then he paused instantly and groaned as he lifted a torn shirt and its matching clothes
"Oh crap" Harry muttered causing Scooterloo to laugh at her brother's misfortune that is till he pulled out what was her own dress which was also destroyed and quickly she copied her Brother's words
"Welp let's see if Rarity can repair them" Harry stated as he put both in a bag then he started across town only to pause as he found Twilight talking to Rarity as she tried to talk Twilight into letting her come to the Gala but as soon as she said true love and Harry figured out who she was talking about he instantly cut her off
"Wait are you talking about Prince blueblood" Harry asked scowling as Rarity instantly zoomed towards him
"Oh you know him isn't he the greatest isn't he" Rarity was saying
"A complete and utter git that deserved being neutered that git has tried to kick me out of the palace for years heck he even pissed me off enough that a almost killed the fucking colt he's an obnoxious asshole who doesn't give a rats ass about anyone but himself" Harry growled frowning and instantly making Rarity freeze with shock clear in her eyes while Twilight raised her eyes in surprise
"Heck he's one of the main reasons I don't want to go to the gala but if any of you are going I will be there too speaking of which I kinda need your help Rarity" Harry stated frowning now in worry as he realized he might have just blew his chances of getting his tux fixed although it looked like Rarity was still in shock about what Harry had said
"Huh Rarity" Twilight asked waving a hoof in front of the mare's face and instantly she snapped out of it
"Hmm yes dear I seem to have dozed off there" Rarity said and instantly Harry and Twilight shared a look
"If she blacks out and forgets at even the thought of him being bad I would hate to see what happens when she actually meets him" Harry whispered to Twilight before he pulled out his tux from the bag
"I need your help fixing my tux for the Gala" Harry stated and instantly he found himself in her store and instantly he looked around along with Scooterloo in surprise
"Hold up how did you" Harry asked staring at Rarity who just raised a eyebrow
"You know what I'm not going to ask I fear I might have almost made you angry enough" Harry muttered fearfully before he handed over the bag and instantly she pulled out the tux and dress and looked them over
"My my my how on earth did these amazing works of art get so badly destroyed" Rarity asked looking over the Tux although this caused Harry to try and remember
"I think it was that assassination attempt at the castle party wasn't a couple of rabid dragons that crashed the party" Harry asked Scooterloo who after a bit nodded
"Yeah I think so or was it the one where those LTf's attacked" Scooterloo asked before both shrugged and turned towards Rarity who was staring at them before she shook her head
"W-well Okay then just stand still while I get some measurements and I'll quickly make these better than new as soon as I convince Twilight to give me the ticket to the Gala" Rarity said making Harry roll his eyes and as she said as soon as the measurements were done and written down alongside some ideas for the clothes she was off and rolling their eyes the two went off in search of something to do and soon enough found the cutie mark crusaders
"Hey there guys" Harry stated slumping down beside the three on a tree as they turned to him
"Wow what's up with you" apple bloom asked looking over at him
"Huh I have to go to this boring party filled with rich snobs" Harry stated causing the three to frown
"Well hey if you want you guys can hang with us till then" Sweetie bell stated and slowly Harry smiled
"Sure okay what are we up too" Harry asked and instantly the three gained a gleam to there eyes that made both Harry and Scooterloo grin sharply.
Two hours later
"Well all well that ends well now all of you guys can come to the Gala" Twilight stated causing all her friends to smile and agree in their own way and they were just about to leave Twilight's home when all of them froze at the sound of a click then with a splash they all found themselves shocked head to hooves in different colored paint which caused Pinkie to be grey and caused her hair to lay flat for a moment before he jumped back into place, Applejack was turned as red as a apple with only her hat being spared somehow, Rainbow Dash was now a solid pink, while Rarity was now green all the while Fluttershy looked around in confusion as the others instantly jumped and started looking at each other in surprise
"What in the hay just happened" Applejack asked before they all heard laughter and following it they all found the cutie mark crusaders and their two accomplices laughing on the roof Twilight's house
"Oh my god that was hilarious" Scootaloo stated grinning widely as Scooterloo nodded giggling
"And did you see there face's" Sweetie belle asked speaking in between bursts of laughter
"Oh seen it I took a picture" Harry stated raising up his phone causing all of them to grin that is till they heard a sound
"Huh huh" Twilight muttered sending a light glare up at the troublemakers
"Oh oh" Apple bloom said looking down at the both angry and amused group of mares
"SCATTER" Harry yelled and instantly they bailed with different members chasing after all of them laughing as they tossed the paint around with only Harry and Scooterloo coming out paint free as they seemingly appeared beside Fluttershy who was watching the rest with a smile before she jumped at realizing Harry was beside her
"Oh sorry Fluttershy didn't mean to scare you" Scooterloo said before her and Harry turned back to watch the paint war that was going down
"Hey huh why didn't you paint me not saying I wanted you too but" Fluttershy asked slowly looking at the pair through her hair while the question caused Harry to shrug
"Simple we know that you don't like pranks and such and that you wouldn't like being pranks we might like causing mischief but we're not mean" Harry said smiling as slowly Fluttershy smiled back then the three of them leaned back against a tree and watched the other mess around although Harry did disappears once and awhile to activate the other paint traps what did you honestly think he would only set one and did you honestly think he would tell the cutie mark crusaders about all the others
"HARRY"
