Home Alone

Somewhere far away in the hometown of the Apple-Calisters, a young filly named Apple Bloom was all by herself at home and expected something big to come to her on the night before Christmas. So she waited in the dining room, after she finished setting up so many defences in the house, and once the clock in the room went off, she armed herself with a surprise box and sat near the doggy door of the kitchen.

"This is it. Don't get scared now." She said to herself. Then after a few minutes, came a knock on the door and she noticed two shadows. It was the two stallion criminals. A blond coat, red bushy hair one named Jagged Flam, and a blond coat, bald one named Flim Red.

Applebloom was waiting for them, and as they arrived, she was ready to defend her house from them.

As the two were outside, they smiled evilly, ready for their next heist. So Flim said, "Open up, little girl. We have a present for ya. We know that you're in there, and that you're all alone."

Flam also said, "Yeah, come on, kid. It's Santa Claus. And his elf."

Flim chuckled, "Haha. Be a good little filly now and open the door." But unbeknownst to them, Applebloom held out the box to the doggy-door and aimed it at Flim's belly. So when the bad guys came closer to the door, Applebloom slowly pulled a string from the box, and by letting go…a punch glove popped out and gave Flim a cramping punch.

"OUUUCH!" He gasped, feeling nothing but excruciating pain and ran to lay in the snow.

"What the? What happened? What?" Said Flam as Flim was cursing under his breath in pain.

"Get that little munchkin!" Flim told him.

So Flam poked his head through the doggy-door, seeing Applebloom.

"Hello." She said to him, then sprung the glove out again to punch his face. "Ah!" He yelled and did the same thing Flim did. "The little jerk is armed!"

Flim, "That's it! I'll go down the front, you go down the basement!"

The stallions split up, going through different directions of the house.

As Flam reached the basement stairs, he slipped from all the ice and hit the ground hard. "Aaaaaaahhhh!"

As Flim approached the front door, he placed his hoof on the knob, and felt a complete burning sensation as he yelled, "AAAHHH!" His hoof burned and was branded before pressing it on the snow.

The two went through any part of the house that they could, but with every inch they came across, each of them made another "AH!" "OUCH!" "YOW!" response.

Over ten minutes later, Flam and Flim were inside and met back with each other, but not the same.

Flim, "Flam!"

Flam, "Flim?"

"Why the heck did you take your socks off?!"

"Why the heck are you dressed like a chicken?"

They were both bruised and hurt, and while Flim was annoyed, they both still were able to hear Applebloom. She was upstairs and yelled out, "I'm up here, you morons! Come and get me!" The two ran and planned to reach her, but quickly slipped from toy cars on the ground. "WHOA!" They screamed and landed on their backs.

"You guys give up? Or ya thirsty for more?" She laughed and ran up the stairs.

After going through another trap on the stairs, the two made it near her as Flim said, "There she is!" He ran, but fell from a trip-wire. Flam did the same, but as he fell, he grabbed onto one of Applebloom's back legs.

"Haha! I got her!" He yelled. Applebloom struggled and noticed something on the stairs to the attic. Flam continued, "Flim! Come on, help me! I got her! YOW!" Then the filly reached out her hoof and grabbed the thing. As she held it, she slowly placed it on Flam's face. Making him see it was…a tarantula…making him go…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" He panicked like another filly before he threw the arachnid off of his face. And as he was distracted, Applebloom ran up into the attic and approached the window, which had a zipline. She planned to use it, so she took a deep breath, and quickly used it. She held on tight to the carrier and zipped all the way to her tree house.

Meanwhile, Flam stood up and saw the tarantula on Flim's belly. So he grabbed a boe-staff and planned to hit it.

Flim saw him and asked, "Flam? Flam, what are you doing?"

"Flim, don't move."

"Flam, what are you doing? Flam…"

Then he whacked Flim's belly with the staff, but the tarantula got away before he made it, and Flim felt more pain.

"Did I get him?! Did I get him?! Where is it?"

"Oh never mind!" Flim got up and hit Flam back with the staff. "Ha! How do you like it, huh?! Ya jerk! Come on!" Then they went up to reach Applebloom again, unaware of what else she would throw at them.

Toy Story

On a bright sunny morning in one home, a cowboy stallion (Big Mac) opened his toy chest to see that the cost was clear. Once he did, he opened it wide and gasped, "Aw, finally. Hoo." Then touched his head and asked, "Hey, who's got my hat?"

A toy shark popped up and said, "Look. I'm Big Mac. Howdy-howdy."

Big Mac replied, "Ah-ha. Ah-ha. Gimme that!" He took his hat back, and jumped out of the chest as he saw Shining Armor speaking to two of his friends.

"Say there, Lizard and Stretchy Dog, let me show you something. It looks as though I'm accepted into your culture. Your chief, Pipsqueak, inscribed his name on me." Shining Armor showed them his front right hoof, and they became impressed. "Wow. With permanent ink too."

"Well, I must get back to repairing my ship."

As Shining walked away, Big Mac looked at his hoof, seeing the same signature. Then a shepherd filly toy, (Sugar Belle) spoke to him. "Don't let it get to you, Big Mac."

"Uh, little what? I don't, uh, know what you mean. Who?"

"I know Pipsqueak's excited about Shining Armor. But you know, he'll always have a special place for you."

"Yeah, like the attic. Haha." Mocked the Potato Head that walked past them.

"Alright, that's it!" Big Mac became mad and walked to Shining Armor, who was lying on a skateboard to observe the back of his cardboard space-ship.

"I need some bonding-strep." He said to the other toys.

"Mr. Armor wants more tape."

While they were helping him, Big Mac rolled the board to him and said to Shining, "Listen, Ankles. You stay away from Pipsqueak. He's mine, and nopony is taking him away from me."

"What are you talking about? Where's that bonding-strep?"

"And another thing, stop with this space-knight thing! It's getting on my nerves!"

Shining stood up, "Are you saying you want to file a logical complaint with Canterlot Command?"

"Oh-ho, okay, so you wanna do it the hard way, huh?"

"Don't even think about it, cowboy."

"Oh yeah, tough guy!"

Big Mac pushed Shining, which caused his helmet to open, and as the space-knight noticed, he fell to the ground thinking he was suffocating. Big Mac just stood his ground, thinking he was being dumb.

Shining sniffed the air and mumbled, "The air isn't toxic?" Then faced Big Mac in anger, "How dare you open a space-pony's helmet on an uncharted planet?! My eye-balls could have been sucked from their sockets!" Then whooshed his helmet back on.

Mac responded with a teasing tone, "You actually think you're 'the' Shining Armor? Oh all this time I thought it was an act. Hey guys, look! It's the real Shining Armor!"

"You're mocking me, aren't you?"

"Oh no, no. Shining, look! An alien!"

"Where?!"

Then Big Mac laughed hysterically and Shining Armor was just annoyed.

Suddenly, every toy in the room heard a maniacal laugh sounding off from the distance. "Yes! Haha!"

"Uh oh." Said Big Mac.

"Whoa." Slinky panicked and hid himself under Pipsqueak's bed before saying, "It's Diamond."

Every toy in the room shook out of fear and walked to the window.

Rex, "I thought she was at Summer Camp."

Hamm, "Uh, they must've kicked her out early this year."

"Not Diamond."

As everyone made it up, they took a look outside and saw her. Diamond Tiara and her dog were outside, strapping a toy to a dynamite stick.

"Who is it this time?" Potato-Head asked.

Big Mac, "I can't, I can't tell. Hey where's Lenny?"

"Right here, Big Mac." Said a walking monocular toy, and Big Mac picked him up to look.

Rex, "Oh no, I can't bear to watch another one of these again."

Big Mac, "Oh no. It's a Combat Stallion."

Shining Armor came up next to Big Mac and asked, "What's going on?"

"Nothing that concerns you space-knights. Just us toys."

"I better take a look anyway." Shining took Lenny and looked. "Why is that soldier strapped to an explosive device?"

"That's why. Diamond Tiara."

"Eh. Sure is a hairy fella." He looked at her dog.

"No, no. That's Scud. That is Diamond."

"You mean that happy filly?"

Potato Head, "That ain't no happy filly."

Rex, "She tortures toys. Just for fun!"

Shining, "Well then we've got to do something." He stood from the edge of the window.

Sugar Belle put her stick to his foreleg and said, "What are you doing? Get down from there."

"I'm gonna teach that girl a lesson."

Big Mac, "Yeah, sure. You go ahead. Melt her with your scary laser." He pressed against the button on his foreleg, and Shining yelled, "Be careful with that! It's extremely dangerous."

While the two stallions were arguing, Lenny looked back at Diamond and saw her lighting the TNT. So he yelled, "She's lighting it, she's lighting it. Hit the dirt!"

Every toy ducked, and the bomb went off.

After the dust cleared, they could still see Diamond from the distance as she chanted, "Yes! He's gone, he's history! Haha!"

"I could've stopped her." Said Shining Armor.

Mac, "Shining, I would love to see you try. Of course, I'd also love to see you as a crater."

Sugar Belle, "The sooner we move, the better."

All the toys hoped that when they would move away with Pipsqueak, they would no longer have to endure the evil filly. But, Big Mac and Shining Armor were both unaware of the journey that they would be brought into.

Two days later, it was time for them to complete that adventure.

On a bright (and supposedly normal) morning, Diamond Tiara had Shining Armor taped to a rocket and planned to launch him into the air.

So she went to the shed and said, "Hey Mom? Where are the matches? Oh wait, here they are, never mind!"

Shining Armor expected the worst to come, but just let it go until he saw Big Mac come towards him. He happily said in a whisper, "Big Mac! Great! Help me outta this thing."

"Shh!" Big Mac replied.

"What?"

"It's okay. Everything's under control." Then he fell, pretending to be unalive.

Shining asked in annoyance, "Mac, what are you doing?" Then froze when Diamond came back out.

She spoke like an astronaut saying, "Houston, all systems are go, requesting permission to…" She stopped as she noticed Big Mac. "Hey. How'd you get out here? Aw well, you and I can have a cookout later." She chuckled evilly and placed him on a grill before placing a match in his hollister and continuing her roleplay. "Houston, all systems are a go. Permission to launch? 'Uh, roger. Permission granted. Your rocket will launch in T minus ten seconds'." Then she lit her own match, and right behind her were many other toys moving together, getting ready for the next phase of their secret plan.

Diamond continued, "And counting. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!" She was close to lighting the rocket on Shining Armor, but stopped when she heard, "Reach for the sky!"

"Huh?" Diamond saw it was Big Mac's voicebox. She dropped the match and approached him as it kept going,

"This town ain't big enough for the two of us."

"What?"

"Somepony's poisoned the waterhole!"

"It's busted." Diamond scowled and shook Mac, but stopped when she heard him finally say, "Who are you calling busted, buster?"

"Huh?" She started shivering.

"That's right. I'm talking to you, Diamond Tiara. We don't like being blown up, Diamond. Or smashed. Or ripped apart."

"W-We?"

"That's right. Your toys."

Suddenly, a lot of noise was behind Diamond as she turned her back and saw other toys moving. A monster truck popped out of the sandbox. Broken toy soldiers emerged from a mud puddle like zombies, and the same went for dozens of other toys that belonged to Diamond Tiara. They were all broken, torn up, and mixed up, and were mad enough to walk towards Diamond, making her freak out before, "AH!" A spider toy touched her. She freaked even more and saw all the toys surrounding her, and Shining Armor stopped freezing and played along too.

So Big Mac said, "From now on, you must take good care of your toys! Because if you don't, we'll find out, Tiara." Diamond's fear wouldn't stop, even as Big Mac twirled his own head around and said, "We toys can see everything." Then moved his mouth in anger, "So play nice." And Diamond screamed and made him fly before she ran into the house.

As she was gone and Mac was on the ground, he chanted, "HAHA! WE DID IT! WE DID IT! YES!" Every toy chanted with him. And as Diamond was inside the house, she spotted her younger sister, Silver Spoon, and said to her, "The toys! The toys are alive!" Then she gasped seeing her hold a doll. "Nice toy." She trembled, and Silver Spoon showed it to her closer. "AH!" Diamond ran up the stairs screaming.

Silver Spoon, "What's wrong, Diamond? Don't you wanna play with Dally?"

From there, Big Mac and every toy gave each other a pat on the back. "Nice work, guys. Haha, coming out of the ground, that was a stroke of genius."

"Big Mac?" Shining Armor got his attention, and he came to him before saying, "Thanks." Then they shook their hooves and heard a car horn go off.

"Mac, the van!" Shining said, and the two quickly ran to the van to check up with their other friends. "We gotta move, thanks guys!" And Diamond's toys were never bothered by her again.

Notes & Disclaimers:

• MLP is Hasbro IP.

• The selected stories are Disney/Pixar/2000 Studios IP.

• "Apple Bloom": I was thinking about using Pipsqueak to play Kevin, but then maybe thought that everyone would've preferred this. Plus, if Flim and Flam are playing Harry and Marv, that also makes this perfect.

• "Diamond": The idea of her playing Sid was thought of by Alexriolover95.

For this chapter, can anyone agree that those were some of the best moments from Home Alone and Toy Story? Maybe this version, from how I wrote it, wasn't that funny but thank you guys again for reading it. Now, I once again have some new things to announce, but this time, I'm gonna see if I can share the index of topics first.

(1) "I'll Be Busy"

(2) "More Art"

(3) "Happy Holidays and Anniversaries"

(4) "A Random Thought for LOL and POH"

(5) "New Addition to Rio: NKS."

At first, I intended to share a new chapter for "Another One," but chose to do this instead. And thankfully it was easy. I have two more chapters, but this time I won't be publishing them at the same hour or day. Anyway…

I know this year I've been somewhat slow with my story making and publishing process, but thank you all for your patience regardless. I'll be busy with other things, as I may have mentioned before, but I'll try to do what I can to make sure no one has to wait a whole year for a new chapter for each of my series. Whether it's "A New Kind of Story," "Restart Forever," "Life of Love and Pure of Heart," etc. I'll be able to continue those when I can, and still read other stories, at my own pace.

Another thing that's lowered my story making process was that I've been side-tracked with making art. I've made tons of digital tracings and other things, and searched them on DeviantArt. If you want, please feel free to check them out. Especially the ones I've made for certain anniversaries that recently came up.

Speaking of which, during this week, if you haven't heard yet, it has been the anniversary of…Tails's appearance in STH 2, Sally Acorn's first appearance, the publication of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog, and the release of the first Toy Story! Whoo! So with the latter and Christmas coming up, sharing this chapter for the time seemed appropriate, don't you think?

Now for "Life of Love and Pure of Heart," let me say thank you again to Alexriolover95 for your comments and liking the story, buddy. I'm glad I'm still able to work and publish these stories and ideas, and share them. I am currently still in the process of changing the past chapters and other tales, so sometime in the future, they will no longer be marked as "Under Maintenance." Also, Alex, here's a random thought. While this might never happen, or maybe it will depending on how everybody feels about it, what if I ever gave "Life of Love and Pure of Heart" a different name? Specifically: "Life of Love: The Before and After Story." You know, since it focuses on the prequel and upcoming sequel for your fanfiction "Roses." If you say that's fine or such, I would at least maybe want to see your response to it.

As for "different" ideas, let me also say something about this new one I've had. I thank everyone for admiring my series "Rio: A New Kind of Story" and asking for more, and I will continue it. I'm gonna eventually continue the series the way it is, while at the same time, make an additional entry for every new chapter. In my other series, "C's Summary Collection," I've made shorter stories in the form of synopsis and I will do that for NKS too. At the end of every chapter, while the story will again be the same, the bottom summaries will discuss a different idea on how the story would go if I ever wrote it differently. I'm calling it either "Rio: A New New Kind of Story," or "A Different Story." Let me know what you guys think about that.

In fact, please let me know what you think about each new thing I'll publish in the future. Oh! And I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving and will soon have a merry Christmas and happy holidays!
