Chapter 10: Summer Sun Celebration

Written by Jlargent

Me: Yes, this fic is still going despite what's been happening as of late. I too am an unfortunate victim of story profiling and had one of my stories deleted and banned from posting a fic for a few days. But my heart cries out to the other authors out there suffering the same fate that I have so please support them as they are petitioning to lift this. Now I do not own MLP in any shape or form typical disclaimers apply.

I motion for Twilight to stop just as she was about to open the library door.

"What is it?" she asks me.

"Simple, Pinkie has a surprise party set up for you. I was thinking that we should surprise her instead." I said confusing my two companions "Follow my lead." I said as they follow me.

Inside… Pinkie's POV.

"Where are they?" I whisper to myself trying not to give away the fact that I'm about to surprise them with a party, unless they know it's a party. But that's silly it's supposed to be a surprise party!

"Hi there!" a familiar voice spoke loudly making me jump just as the lights turn on and to my surprise it was Jack with Twilight Sparkle "Surprised?" he asks in amusement and I could swear that he had a troll face on him.

"No fair, I'm supposed to surprise you." I complain lightly.

Jack laughs slightly "True, but every now and then you need to be surprised." he reasons.

I laugh "You got me there Jackie!" I replied

Jack's POV

"Now let's get this party started!" I call out to the attending ponies.

"Hey! That's my line." she mocked whined earning a number of laughs from the others as the party gets underway, I spot Applejack talking to Rarity and head over to them.

"Hey boss." I call out to her catching their attention as I walk up to them.

"Jack, how were things with Twilight?" AJ asks me.

I shrug my shoulders "Meh, it wasn't too bad. But from what I've seen Twilight is somewhat socially awkward around others so I asked Pinkie to tone down the pranks a notch or two." I explain to them.

Rarity nods in agreement "Yes, darling she does strike me as the reclusive type, perhaps we should talk to her about the celebration to help her get comfortable around us." she suggests as I could see Twilight hesitate talking to a few ponies.

"How about she listen to a few of Granny Smith's stories? I mean she would like to learn more about the history of this town." AJ said rubbing her chin.

"We can discuss that after the Celebration tomorrow if Twilight decides to stay here." I said earning nods from my newfound friends. So far the party is going without a hitch Twilight is talking to a random unicorn, RD is bragging about her latest accomplishments, Fluttershy is doing a near perfect imitation of a wallflower and Pinkie is munching on cupcakes with plenty of hot sauce How she can actually eat those I'll never know, on second thought I don't think I even want to know I thought to myself as the party was starting to wind down, I walk up to Pinkie "So ready for the celebration?" I ask her.

She nods her head enthusiastically "Yep! By the way I finished that Cupcake Cannon and needs to be tested." she replied reminding me that at one point I suggested to Pinkie that while a Party Cannon is cool and all a Cupcake Cannon would be better. So Pinkie set out to make one.

I smile "Awesome, well we need to head off then." I said as the ponies were heading out towards City Hall where the celebration was being held. I stop at the entrance for a moment Here we go I thought as I make my way inside.

(A/N: Pretty much what happens in canon after this)

As Nightmare Moon starts laughing I turn to Pinkie "Quick the Cupcake Cannon!" I whisper loudly, Pinkie looks at me in shock before handing me a large bazooka "HEY!" I shouted loudly catching everyone's attention "EAT CUPCAKES BITCH!" I finished firing multiple cupcakes at her only for her to turn into smoke to escape the confectionary, I lower the cannon to see that the Mane 6 has already left It looks like I'm setting up the house sooner than I expected I thought and make my way outside towards the empty field and pull out the black cube that The Doctor handed me and placed it in the center of the field and after ten seconds I quickly run a good distance away as all of a sudden a brilliant flash of light nearly blinds me.

When the light fades I look to see the familiar two-story home that I lived in my whole life was standing there, for a brief moment I almost started to cry but the current situation reminds me that I had other things I need to do Beat the queen of the night first, reminisce afterwards. If you get a chance to. I mentally scolded to myself and run inside towards my room Thank Celestia that I went through a zombie phase last year I remember being somewhat obsessed with zombies and had a machete hidden in my room and a gun locked up in case of emergencies, for a moment I considered taking the gun with me Better not, I might need it later on I reasoned remembering the lessons dad drilled into me concerning gun safety. I rummage around my room for a moment before finding my messenger bag and I head towards the bathroom and grabbing a large first aid kit and head outside towards Everfree Forest just as the Mane 6 arrive.

"Jack what are you doing here?" Twilight asks me.

"Simple, I read the reference guide like you did and knew that you'll be here. I'm coming as well, and before you argue I've been exploring the place so I know my way around, you'll need my assistance to get to the Elements in any event." I tell her ending any and all rebuttals that she could use as we head towards the forest.

Me: Next time: Everfree Forest. Now I am going to utilize stuff from Bleach and Fate/Stay Night as well as a few other anime series as the basis for Jack's magic. So don't be too surprised at what I'll do.

As always Hoody Hoo!
