Spirally noises sounded everywhere as everypony, even the non-pegasi, flouted about, spinning. The dark starry/blobby background made it hard to determine where ground lay, and the fact that there were floating slabs of ground made it harder.
"WHEE! This is so much fun!" Pinkie Pie said, twirling in the air. All the other ponies were aimlessly floating, flailing their hooves. A few found their footing shakily, but some had to be helped by the pegasi. Once everyone had finally found their footing on something, they looked about the chaotic landscape.
"Well, let's get this party set up!" Pinkie Pie yelled.
Taffy and Nightshade walked along the gravel path, making a crunch each time they stepped.
"You know, now that the shades of the trees are changing color, it's going to soon be time for the running of the leaves." NightShade observed. Taffy blinked in the setting sun, looking at all the fiery red orange and yellow leaves dappled in shade and sun. A orange leaf gently landed on her snout and she blew it off.
"What's the running of the leaves?" Taffy asked, as they both walked out of the Ponyville park towards the market area.
"Oh, I dunno. I think it is some thing the ponies celebrate before fall, to make all the leaves fall or something." NightShade answered. A cool breeze ruffled their fur. It was certainly getting colder by the day.
"We had that on Earth, but the wind blew the leaves instead of running." Taffy said.
"Huh. I wonder why they can't just do that here..." NightShade said. Passing Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, the latter snickered.
"Eek! A changeling!" Diamond Tiara taunted with fits of laughter.
"And a deranged discorded thing, too!" Silver Spoon added. Taffy growled, showing her fangs in the most menacing way she could. Both the little fillies recoiled in terror and ran off screaming.
"I'm telling my daddy!" Diamond Tiara yelled in the distance.
"Scaredy cats..." Taffy murmured.
"Why can't they just accept me? I mean seriously, I've been getting weird looks all day! If I wasn't friends with the princess, they'd sure as heck send me back where I came from!" NightShade gulped.
"You're telling me... I'm surprised they actually accept me after what I did. But then again most of them think Discord did it... I kinda feel bad for trying to use his 'classics' to trick them into thinking that."
They both stopped as they glanced up at the towering candy-adorned ginger bread house confectionery, in a small clearing with ponies milling about, doing their business. The sun setting behind it made it seem like a big ominous shadow overlooking Ponyville.
"I think this is it."
"Yeah, kinda obvious."
Taffy grabbed the door and held it for NightShade.
"After you!" She said.
"Thank y-" NightShade was cut off as she fell down through a spiraly portal in the door.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"WAIT FOR MEEEEEE!" Taffy yelled as she jumped in too. Sugar Cube Corner's door slammed shut with a loud bang, all by itself...
Hey guys! Sorry for such a short chapter, I've been busy lately. Yes, I know I was supposed to update every Saturday, but I missed the deadline... Sorry.
KITTY!
