Chapter 11
We last last two ponies snuggled in bed together yet again.
Now its morning and Raveon has woken up. His mane all messed up and spikier than usual. He looked down to his left and saw Avery waking up. Her mane too was all messed up. They both look like they had a hangover from last night. They both looked at their manes and got shocked.
Raveon: "Did we just?!"
Avery: "It can't be! Can it?!"
Raveon: "No! Impossible!"
Avery: "Totally crazy! But we look like we did!"
Raveon: "We couldn't have. We're way too young!
Avery: "Are we?"
Raveon: "Are we?"
Note: Are they?
Raveon: (laughs) "No offense but your hair looks ridiculous."
Avery: (pounting) "My hair?! You're one to talk!" (tickles Raveon)
Raveon: "NO I SAID I'M TICKLISH! STOP AVERY PLEASE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I CAN'T BREATHE!"
Avery: "That's what you get for making fun of my mane!"
Raveon: "OK OK OK! I'M SORRY! PLEASE STOP!"
Avery: "Hmph!"
Raveon: "Alright you. Let's get ready to go see the Crystal Fair."
The two straightened up their manes and started to head out to the fair until they were stopped by Shining Armor.
Shining Armor: "You guys going to the fair?"
Raveon: "We sure are. We thought that maybe we could have fun before we leave tomorrow."
Avery: "So we figure we could make the best of it."
Shining Armor: "Well how about you let us show you a good time. Where are you heading after you leave here?"
Raveon: "We're getting on a train and heading to Manehattan."
Shining Armor: "Manehattan is a big place. You don't wanna get lost there.
Princess Cadence: "There are all sorts of shops, eating places, and theatres."
Raveon: "Just like New York."
Avery, Shining Armor, and Princess Cadence: "New York?"
Raveon: "Uh, what do you guys call it here in this world?"
Avery: "We call it Neigh York."
Raveon: (rolls eyes) "Of course you do."
Avery: "Oh you silly human. Ponies just say things differently."
Raveon: "Very funny. Can we go to the fair now?"
They arrived at the fair and couldn't believe what they saw. There is a booth with Crystal Berry Pie, corn on the cob and funnel cake. They saw 2 crystal ponies playing ring toss. A traditional arts and crafts booth where you can make straw hats, baskets and all sorts of things. They have a petting zoo with tiny ewes. Ponies who are gonna take part in jousting matches.
Raveon: "It looks amazing. Look at all the stuff you can do."
Princess Cadence: "The Crystal Faire is an annual event. It was established by the Crystal Ponies' first queen and became their most important tradition. The faire is held every year to renew the spirit of love and unity in the Empire so crystal ponies could protect it from harm."
Shining Armor: "You two want some fritters?"
Raveon: "Sure."
Avery: "Would love some Shining Armor."
After they went to get fritters, they headed over to the ring toss game.
Shining Armor: (throws ring) "Yes. Think you can beat that Raveon?"
Raveon: "Yeah uh I'm not good at throwing with hooves. I use hands. But I can try my horn."
Shining Armor: "Nope. No horns. Hooves."
Raveon: "Seriously?"
Shining Armor: "Seriously."
Raveon tried to pick up the rings with his hooves but once he did they fell to the ground. Then he got mad.
Raveon: "Ooh! Damn! Stupid f***ing hooves getting on my God damn nerves! DAMN DAMN DAMN!"
Avery: "Uh-oh he's doing it again."
Princess Cadence: "Doing what?"
Avery: "Using his colorful magic words. When he gets upset or angry he uses them."
Princess Cadence: "Well he sure does have a colorful vocabulary."
Shining Armor grab Raveon's hoof and taught him how to hold it. Raveon gave it another try and he made it.
Raveon: "Whoo-hoo!"
Shining Armor: "Not bad for a human who reads as much as my sister.
Raveon: "Oh yeah? Think you can do better your majesty?"
Shining Armor: I know I can." (throws ring) "Aw man!"
Raveon: "Looks like this human can do better than the prince. If I remember correctly, the object of the game is to get the closest to the stake."
Shining Armor: "All right. You got another throw there smart guy."
Raveon: "Ha!"
Crystal Pony: "MY LEG!"
Raveon: "Sorry my bad!"
Shining Armor: "Wow Raveon. You couldn't hit the palace with that kind of a throw."
Raveon: "Yeah, yeah. I still have the closest throw Shining Armor. Just try and beat it."
Shining Armor: "Yes! That's how you do it here."
Raveon: "Figures. I'm not good with sports."
Shining Armor: "I wouldn't say that."
Avery: "Yeah you were great."
Princess Cadence: "Come. The jousting is about to start."
The ponies watch the jousting tournament. As the two knights clash with each other, it was just a horrible that the nurse came to take them to the pony hospital. The ponies left the fair and heading back to the castle. That's when Flash walked up to them.
Flash: "Here's a letter for you Raveon. From Princess Twilight."
Raveon: "Sweet. Thanks dude. Come on Avery let's read it."
Flash: Wow. That pony is lucky to know such a beautiful pony like Princess Twilight. She's smart, pretty, tough, and she-
Shining Armor: "Ahem!"
Flash: (snaps out of it) "Sir!"
Shining Armor: "What are you thinking about soldier?!"
Flash: (blushing) "Nothing sir!"
Shining Armor: "Better not think about my sister soldier."
Flash: "No sir! I am not thinking about your sister sir!" (holding breathe)
Shining Armor: "Better not." (walks off with Cadence)
Flash: (exhales) "Whew! That was close!"
Back in Raveon and Avery's room, Raveon reads the letter Twilight sent him:
Dear Raveon,
I love them and miss them so much. It's good to hear from my brother and sister-in-law again. Rarity told me to tell you that when you and Avery get to Manehatton, go to the Mane Fair Hotel. She got you a room with a view. And me and Flash are just close friends that's all. There's nothing going on between him and me. I mean he's nice and loyal and intelligent and cuteā¦I mean! We're just friends! Let us know when you get to Manehatton! Best of luck you two!
Your friend,
Twilight Sparkle
Raveon: "Of course you are Princess."
Avery: "What?"
Raveon: "Twilight acts like she doesn't have a crush on Flash Sentry, but even though I can't read minds yet in this world, I know she's lying."
Avery: "I'm pretty sure ponies don't like humans reading their minds." (blushing)
Raveon: "Well we better turn in. We gotta pack and head back to the train station. I think we'll arrive in Manehatton by tomorrow afternoon."
Raveon and got into bed together. They got a big day ahead of them.
Avery: "Raveon. I'm so glad you asked me to join you on this trip. These few days we spent together has kinda made us grow closer to each other. Get what I'm saying? Raveon?"
When Avery turned over, she saw Raveon fast asleep.
Avery: "Aw. He probably didn't hear me. He is so handsome and cute when he is asleep." (kisses Raveon's cheek) "Good night Raveon."
Raveon and Avery fall asleep on their last day in the Crystal Empire. And tomorrow they are on their way to Manehatton. Equestria is simply amazing to them. Their adventure continues in Chapter 12. Stay tune.
