Summer Sun Celebration
Randy trotted through the crowd of ponies trying to get back to his house, carrying a bag of snacks and drinks with him. It was Norrisville's turn to host the Summer Sun Celebration and Danny, Jake and Danny's and Jake's friends were over to celebrate. He had left Nomicon back at home to let them in if they came early and by the looks of things, he was late to his own party.
After many more minutes he finally made it home, just in in time to see Danny phase through his door. He was able to make out the three ponies that were with him. A lilac Pegasus with amethyst eyes and a black mane with purple highlights. Her mane was in a half ponytail and her tail was so long it dragged on the ground. Next to her was a coffee brown unicorn with teal eyes, A red beret covered his short, black mane with a tail to match. And a mocha brown Pegasus with dark green eyes Her dark,curly mane was held out of her face with a orange headband. Her tail was tied up with a orange ribbon that held it up higher so it stopped just before the ground.
"You didn't have to break in, Nomi was home" Randy shouted playfully as Danny opened The door to let the others in.
"Well this Nomi is really bad at answering doors" The mocha pegasus shouted back "We've been waiting for five minutes"
"Did you knock or use the doorbell?" Randy asked as he finished closing the distance between them.
"We used the Bell,why?" The Lilac one asked.
"The bell is broken" Randy answered "I left a note to let you know"
"The wind must have took it" Danny stated
"Yeah, I'll make a new one" Randy responded "Who are your friends?"
"OH!" Danny face-hoofed "This is Sam, Tucker, and Valerie" He pointed to the respective pony as he said their name.
"Nice to meet you guys, I'm Randy" Randy greeted "Why don't we head inside, I have video games set up in the living room"
Randy waited till everyone was inside before going inside himself Going straight to the kitchen to put the drinks in the fridge and grab some bowls and plates for the snacks.
"You're out of snacks" Was the first thing Howard said when he entered the room .
"Hello to you to Howard" Randy quipped setting up the snacks. Howard grabbed an entire bag of chips for himself causing Randy to simply roll his eyes and pull another from the bag. After he was done he took a quick look around the room. Howard and Tucker had already started a round of Grave Puncher, Danny and Valerie were putting some snacks that they had brought on the table, And Sam was not so subtly gawking at Nomicon who was lounging on the couch, the light from the game bouncing off his scales and fur.
Guys, This is Howard and Nomicon, Nomi for short. Nomi, Howard this is Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Valerie"
If you don't mind me asking, what are you?" Sam asked.
"I don't mind at all" Nomi chuckled "I'm a kirin"
"Your coat, and scales are beautiful" Sam complemented jumping onto the couch next to Nomi.
"Thank you?" Nomi was put off by the compliment.
"Trust the goth to like the black coat" Tucker Snickered, stopping when Sam glared at him.
"It's not just because it's black, It's so glossy. I may not be big on beauty standards but I've never been able to get my coat this glossy."
"Sam's right" Valerie joined in "I don't think even Paulina has gotten her coat this glossy, And she's been bragging about the hours and the amount of products she puts into it"
"products actually strip the coat of essential oils that are the reason for gloss" Nomi said looking much more comfortable.
"Yeah, you girls enjoy your beauty talk." Howard said in a taunting manner "us guys are gonna play some video games"
Nomi pretended to be offended by the comment.
After an hour or so Jake and his friends arrived
Trixie, A dark mocha unicorn with bright, brown eyes. Her hair curly black hair that had periwinkle highlights. Her mane was tied up into two puffy ponytails while her short tail hung freely.
Spud, A earth pony with a bright blue coat and soft blue eyes to match. A dark green beanie covered his messy, brown mane and his tail was kept short but was just as messy.
Rose, A rose pink Unicorn with baby blue eyes. Her mane was blonde with lighter blonde and pink streaks and stopped just below her shoulders with a tail to match.
And Fu Dog, a Shar Pei who was grey with a lighter gray muzzle.
"Sorry we're late, had a Diamond Dog problem to take care of"Jake said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"It's cool" Randy responded " we've just been playing games, still got 20 hours till the sunrise ceremony"
The group spent the next 20 hours playing games and watching horror movies that Sam had brought. After a while Nomicon and Fu Dog split off from the group after hitting it off right away. When the time came the group left For the ceremony, Fu Dog had to act like a normal dog while Nomi didn't bother. He had been helping Randy out when he was the Ninja, so the ponies of Norrisville had become quite used to him being around. They managed to get a place in the front row. Celestia and Luna were already in their places on the stand, waving to all the ponies. Celestia made eye contact with Nomi and waved a little more enthusiastically, Nomi bowed his head in return. Lune picked up on her sister's change in attitude and followed her line of sight, upon seeing Nomi she started to jump off the stand, only to have Celestia stamp on her tail and whisper something in her ear. Luna composed herself and waved to Nomi, a little to enthusiastically. Nomi laughed and waved back.
"You guys go ahead" Nomi called to Randy "I want to talk to some old friends"
Randy waved and started to lead the group back to his house. Nomi turn to where he saw the Princess leave and started to head that way.
"Nomicon?"
Nomi turn toward the voice only to have a camera shoved in his face. Behind the camera was Heidi.
"What's up Norrisville High?" She greeted the camera "Today I got A special interview with Nomicon! The Ninjas new helper"
Nomi rolled his eyes and walked away.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Hedie called after him "At least let me finish the interview"
Nomi saw Celestia and Luna Leaving with some royal guards and Mcfist, who was leading the way with Viceroy not far behind him.
"I do apologize Heidi, but I'm on my way to meet some friends" He called back.
Heidi caught up with Nomi "It's okay, I can walk and ask questions at the same time" She was not giving up.
Nomi gave the white unicorn a irritated look Trying to come up with a way to get rid of her.
"NOMI!"
Nomi felt the air being forced out of him when a dark blue alicorn slammed into him, delivering a tight hug.
"HOW HATH THOU BEEN? IT'S BEEN YEARS!"
Heidi stared at the princess as she hugged the life from Nomicon. 'Where did she come from' was the first thing that came to her mind. Looking around she settled on Princess Celestia, who was trotting over herself. A little ways behind her was a small group of royal guards who were strangely enough not following her, some had even sat down. Next to them was a irritated Mcfist and a amused Viceroy.
"Luna? ….Need air" Nomi gasped.
Luna let Nomi go "I haven't seen you in years" She took a breath to compose herself "You won't believe how hard it was to stay up on that stage and NOT jump down and hug you right then"
"Wait" Heidi cut in "You guys know each other?"
"Yes we do" Celestia chuckled "Nomicon is an old fillyhood friend of ours"
"YES, a VERY old friend of ours" Luna added "Now if you excuse us we have catching up to do" Luna said proceeding to drag Nomi away.
Authors note(s)
In this universe,Valerie knows, enough said.
This chapter will be continued in the next chapter since this chapter was starting to get long and I already broke my chapter a week goal.
I spent forever trying to find something about the Summer Sun Celebration ceremony that I could write about. Not a lot, just look up a clip from the show and that's all I could get about it.
As for Heidi, I can't be the only one who thinks she would pester Randy and in this case Nomicon or even get in to some danger to get something for her show.
I might be cutting Jake and friends out for a while or for good. I've never been a fan of the show and don't really know how to wright for the characters.
I'm planning to use some other characters from other cartoons soon.
okay, bye for now :)
