Chapter 3: Griffon the Brush-Off
The Library
Peter had trumpet and started playing it, waking Brian and Stewie up.
"Wake up, sleepyheads. We have a long day", he said as he plays the trumpet once again, only to Brian's annoyance.
"Peter, I swear to god, if you play that trumpet one more time, I'm gonna take it and shove it up your ass!" he exclaimed.
Peter stopped playing the trumpet and said, "Hey. Have any of you seen Twilight?"
"I don't know. Let's try and look for her", Stewie said.
The Park
"Hoof-biting action overload! She was like a stunt superstar, flying higher and higher, and then Rainbow Dash swooped down-swoosh-and-right before she hit the ground-shoom-she pulled up-vrrrmmm!" said Pinkie Pie as she was making noises. Twilight was reading her book.
"Uh-huh." Twilight said, trying not to pay attention to Pinkie at all.
"And then she looped around and around like whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo."
"Uh-huh." Pinkie was laying on the ground when she saw Rainbow Dash fly overhead and followed her.
"Phew", Twilight said in relief as she flipped to the next page.
"Rainbow Dash!" said Pinkie Pie. Rainbow grunts as she eyes Pinkie following her.
"Pinkie Pie? Not again", said Rainbow as she flies faster.
"Rainbow Dash."
"Not now, Pinkie Pie." Rainbow Dash flies faster.
"But, but Rainbow Dash"-
"I'm in the middle of something."
"But"-
"I said not now"- before Rainbow Dash could finish her sentence, she crashed right into a mountain.
"I was gonna tell you to look out for that mountain." Pinkie Pie said. Rainbow Dash then grumbles.
*My Little Pony Theme Song*
Episode Title: Griffon the Brush-Off
Ponyville Plaza
Pinkie Pie is humming while walking through the plaza. Rainbow Dash, who was sleeping on a cloud above the plaza, heard Pinkie humming so she used some of the clouds as ear muffs so she cannot hear her.
"Hi, I'm looking for Rainbow Dash. Have you seen her?" Pinkie said as she asked some ponies on the whereabouts of Rainbow Dash. While Pinkie continued asking others, Rainbow put her head into the cloud like an ostrich but the rest of her body was shown. Pinkie then came upon Twilight and asked, "Hey guys, have you seen Rainbow Dash?"
"Isn't she right up there?" Twilight said as she pointed to Rainbow Dash in on the cloud.
"Rainbow Dash." Said Pinkie Pie. Rainbow took her head out of the cloud and looked both ways. She then flew away as Pinkie was hopping her way to her. Rainbow hid behind the Apple Family barn.
"Phew. That was close", said Rainbow Dash.
"Hi!" Pinkie said as she was right behind Rainbow.
"Aah!" Rainbow flew faster than before and hid in the tree above the town library. Rainbow pants so she can regain her breath but she was sitting on Pinkie's head.
"Hi again."
"Aah!" Rainbow flew past Sweet Apple Acres with Pinkie hopping after her. Rainbow Dash was on a cloud. As soon as the coast was clear, she descended near a pond. Pinkie came out of the pond with scuba gear.
"Pfeh. I need a favor, Rainbow Dash."
"Waaa"- said Rainbow as she prepares to run again but stops. "…oh, forget it."
"I totally promise it'll be totally fun." Rainbow just sighs.
"Okay."
At the Scroll Shop
Pinkie and Rainbow were outside a building. Rainbow has a cloud while Pinkie was acting as a guide, telling Rainbow Dash where to place the cloud.
"Over to the right. No no, a little to the left. Oh wait, back to the right. Now a little leftish while staying rightly. Stop. Hmm. Maybe a few inches to the south. Now a couple centimeters north. Okay. One more smidgimeter to the the"- Pinkie said until Rainbow lets her anger out.
"Pinkie Pie!" she exclaimed.
"Uh, I mean, perfect."
"What the hell are you two doing?" asked Stewie as he came with Brian. The two ponies turned around to see Stewie and Brian with curious looks on their faces.
Rainbow made a quick lie and said, "Oh, um nothing."
"You guys look like you're planning something. We want in", Brian said.
"Okay. But we'll have to tell you the plan first." After explaining the plan, they had Brian and Stewie hide.
"Now wait for my signal." Pinkie looked inside to see Spike getting more scrolls while humming. As he walks outside, Pinkie gives the signal. Rainbow kicks the cloud emitting a thunderclap.
"D-aah!" Spike shouts as he drops the scrolls. He then starts to hiccup. The pranksters start to laugh.
"Guys, we startled Spike into getting the hiccups", Pinkie said.
"I-I c-can't breathe! I can't breathe!" Stewie said as he starts laughing even harder.
"I can't hold my laugh! My f-funny bone's won't stop!" Brian said.
"*chuckles* Good one, Pinkie *hiccup* Pie. *hiccup* You're always pulling a fast one *hiccup* on me." Spike said as he continues to hiccup. Spike picked up a scroll and hiccupped and breathed fire on the scroll. "Nnaa"-
Canterlot
As Princess Celestia is reading a book in her chambers, the scroll Spike teleported appeared by Celestia.
Back at Ponyville
"Oh no, you're not hurt are you?" asked Pinkie.
"Ne-*hiccup*-eh, don't be *hiccup* silly, dragons are *hiccup* fire-proof." Spike said.
"Oh, okay, good." Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Stewie, and Brian were laughing again. As Spike picks up a bunch of scrolls, he hiccups and breathes fire on the scrolls.
"I wish the same thing *hiccup* were true with scrolls."
Canterlot
As Princess Celestia is still pondering about the scroll, more scrolls drop on her which elicits a gasp.
Back at Ponyville
The pranksters continue to laugh while Spike hiccups and teleports more scrolls.
"Someone! Please help me! This is too freaking funny!" Stewie said.
"Have you ever seen anything more hilarious?" said Pinkie.
"I can think of one thing", Rainbow said. Rainbow kicks the cloud emitting thunder but it only scares Pinkie.
"Aah!" Pinkie then gets the hiccups.
"I didn't take you for a prankster, Pinkie Pie." Rainbow said.
"Are you *hiccup* kidding? *hiccup* I love to pull pranks. It's all *hiccup* in good fun, and Pinkie Pie lo-*hiccup*-oves to have *hiccup* fun!" *hiccup*
"You know Pinkie Pie, you're not as annoying as I thought. You wanna hang out?"
"That'd be *hiccup* I'd really *hiccup* When do *hiccup* I mean *hiccup* When would you" said Pinkie Pie until Rainbow shakes her head and puts her hoof on Pinkie's mouth.
"A simple nod would do."
"Mmm-hmm."
"Stewie and Brian, want to join?"
"Oh my gosh, yes. I haven't had this much fun pranking since I was with Bart."
Cutaway, Springfield
Bart dials in the phone number and gives the phone to Stewie. The person picks up the phone and says, "Mos Tavin."
"Hello, Mo, your sister's being raped." Stewie hangs up the phone and turns around to Bart and asks, "Is that, is that one?"
End of Cutaway
Outside Carousel Boutique
Stewie knocks on the door.
"Is she even home?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"I don't know. But if she is, it's going to be so funny", said Pinkie as everyone was chuckling.
"There she is." Rarity came outside. Rarity sniffs the flowers, and then some pink was on her nose which was causing her to sneeze. She looked to see the pranksters laughing at her. Rainbow, Stewie, and Brian ran out of their fast but they accidentally knocked over the sneezing stuff they put on flowers and some of it gets on Pinkie Pie.
"Aaa-choo!" Pinkie sneezed to where the others went. Rarity just smiles.
The Library
Twilight is working on an experiment. As she is writing stuff down, she turns around but suddenly hears a poof. She looks and sees that the writing on the scroll had disappeared.
"Hmm?" She looks outside to see Rainbow, Pinkie, Stewie, and Brian with a bottle of disappearing ink. Twilight just smiles. The pranksters then laugh.
Sweet Apple Acres
Peter was helping Applejack move apples when suddenly, they see all of the apples were painted.
"Land sakes!" said Applejack. The three look over to see the four pranksters, having paint material. They start laughing. Then Peter and Applejack start chucking apples at them. The four pranksters ran away. As some of the apples go into the bucket of water, the paint disappeared and the color is revealed. Applejack and Peter chuckle.
The Pond
While Fluttershy is feeding the animals, some more appear at the banks of the pond. But one of them was actually a fake. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie set the trap while Stewie and Brian were waiting behind them.
"Is someone over there? Who're we gonna squirt? Who're we gonna squirt?" asked Pinkie. Rainbow then chuckles as she gives her the answer while looking through a telescope.
"Fluttershy." Said Rainbow.
"WHAT" Pinkie spits out the button. Nononononono, we can't prank Fluttershy, I mean, she's so sensitive. It'll hurt her feelings, even our most harmless prank."
"Ugh, I guess you're right", Stewie says as he blows a raspberry. "Huh. We need another victim who's made of tougher stuff. So, who's it gonna be?" When Rainbow takes her eye out of the telescope, some ink was around her eye.
"Oh, *chuckle* I've got someone in mind. *chuckle* The toughest around." Stewie said as Pinkie and Brian were chuckling, realizing the prank he was doing.
"Oh, awesome. Who? Who? Do I know them?"
"*giggle* Oh, yes. *giggle* You're very close." Rainbow Dash looks in the pond's reflection and sees Stewie's prank. She then chuckles.
"Good, one, Stewie." They all start to laugh.
The Next Morning - Rainbow Dash's House
Pinkie comes up the hill from Ponyville wearing a weird mask on her face.
"Rise and shine Rainbow Dash! It's a brand new day and we got a lot of pranking to"- Pinkie said until she sees an eagle head pop out from Rainbow Dash's home and look right at her. "Ooh." Rainbow comes out of the cloud.
"Mornin', Pinks. Gilda, this my gal pal, Pinkie Pie." Rainbow said as she and her friend come from the house. Her friend had the body of a lion but the head of an eagel.
"Hey. What's up?" Gilda said.
"Pinkie, this is my griffon friends, Gilda."
"Huh, that's funny. We have three friends who have last names that end with griffon. What's a griffon?"
"She's half-eagle, half-lion."
"And all awesome. Raa. Heh-haa. Yeah, that's right." Gilda said.
"Gilda's my best friend from my days at Junior Speedster flight camp. Hey, remember the chant?" Rainbow asked Gilda.
"Sha, they made us recite it every morning, I'll never get that lame thing out of my head."
"Sooo…" Rainbow said as she raised her eyebrow.
"Ugh. Only for you, Dash." The two then went into the air.
[Rainbow Dash/Gilda]
Junior Speedsters are our lives,
Sky-bound soars and daring dives
Junior Speedsters, it's our quest,
To someday be the very best!
[End Song]
The two then came back to the ground while Pinkie laughed after watching the chant.
"Oh that was awesome, and it gave me a great idea for a prank. Gilda, you game?" said Pinkie.
"Huh. Well, I groove on a good prank as much as the next griffon. But Dash, you promised me we'd get a flying session in this morning." Gilda said.
"Yeah, uh, well, Pinkie Pie, you don't mind, do you? Gilda just got here. We'll catch up with you later." Said Rainbow.
"Oh. Um, well sure, no problem. Have fun you guys, I'll, uh, just catch up with you- *sigh* later." Pinkie said as she blows her party hooter sadly.
Ponyville
Rainbow and Gilda were flying in the skies of Ponyville when they land on a cloud and start laughing.
"Whoa, that was sweet, just like old times." Gilda said.
"Yeah, only faster." Rainbow said as they did a fist bump.
"So, now what?" Pinkie then popped her head in the cloud and said, "Hi there!"
"Huh?" Gilda and Rainbow said.
"It's later. And I caught up." It was revealed that Pinkie was jumping on a trampoline.
"Pinkie Pie, you are so random." Rainbow said. Gilda stares at Pinkie menacingly and says, "Hey Dash. Think you got enough gas left to beat me to that cloud?"
"A race? You are so on."
"1, 2, 3, go!" Gilda and Rainbow flew away, leaving Pinkie all alone.
"Hey!" Pinkie said.
The two raced to the cloud. Rainbow made it to the cloud first.
"I win." Rainbow said.
"As if. I won, dude." Gilda said.
"No way."
"Yes way."
"Oh, come on, I was way ahead of you."
"Uh, I don't think so."
"Oh geez, dream on."
"Remember back in camp? I"-
"There is no way you beat me."
"Whatever."
"Wow guys, that was really close, but I think Rainbow Dash beat you by a teeny weeny itty bitty hair, or a teeny weeny itty bitty feather." Pinkie said as she was in a flying machine.
"Hah, see? Good thing Pinkie Pie's here to keep you honest, G." Rainbow said. Gilda then glared.
"So Dash, got any new moves in your tricktionary, or are you 100% old school?" Gilda asked as she poked Rainbow's chest.
"New moves? Heh, sit back, G, this is gonna take a while." When Rainbow flew into the air, Gilda got her chance.
"Hey Pinkie, c'mere." Gilda said.
"Yeah?" Pinkie said.
"Don't you know how to take get lost for an answer? Dash doesn't need to hang out with a dweeb like you now that I'm around. You're dorkin' up the skies, Stinkie Pie, so make like a bee and BUZZ OFF." Gilda said as she twisted the propellers and sent Pinkie falling to the ground.
"Whaaa-aaa- "- Pinkie said as she continued falling.
"Try matching that." Rainbow said as she came back to Gilda. "Hey, where's Pinkie Pie and her crazy contraption?"
"Eh, she left. Something about being as busy as a bee." Gilda said.
"Hm." Pinkie said as she stood up on the ground.
The Library
Pinkie was now talking to Twilight, Peter, and Spike.
"So Pinkie Pie, are you sure that this friend of Rainbow Dash is really so mean?" Twilight asked while reading a book.
"Um, yeah. She keeps stealing Rainbow Dash away, she pops my balloons, and she told me to buzz off. I've never met a griffon this mean. Well, actually, I've never met a griffon at all, but I bet if I had, she wouldn't have been as mean and grumpy as Gilda." Pinkie said.
"Wait, did you just say she was a griffon?" Peter asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"As in, "Peter Griffin?"
"Yep."
"With an I or an o?"
"An o."
"Oh, n-nevermind." Peter continued to read his magnazine.
"Pinkie, I think you might be jealous." Twilight said.
"Jealous?" Pinkie said.
"Green with envy, well in your case pink with envy", Spike said.
"Well, yes. Jealous. Listen Pinkie, I don't want to upset you, but just because Rainbow Dash has another friend doesn't make Gilda a grump. I mean, perhaps, it's you, Pinkie, who needs to improve her attitude."
"Improve my attitude. But I… D… B… It's Gilda that… D… Are you seri…" Pinkie stuttered until she left the shop while shouting out with frustration.
Outside Sugarcube Corner
Pinkie Pie was drinking a smoothie.
"Maybe Twilight is right. Maybe Gilda isn't a big meanie grumpy mean-meanie-pants. Maybe I'm just a big jealous judgmental jealous-jealousy-pants." Pinkie said as she sighed. She then hides under the umbrella that was above her on the table as she sees Gilda and Rainbow Dash descend.
"Ugh, I gotta take care of a few weather jobs around here. Shouldn't take long. Just, uh, hang out in town and I'll come find ya." Rainbow said.
"That's cool, I guess. I'm gonna go chow down.
"Later." Rainbow then flies away. Gilda then hid behind the fruit stand just as Granny Smith came by. As Granny Smith sniffed the apple, Gilda put her up tail and scared Granny Smith.
"Aaah! A rattler, a rattler! Run for the hills! Everybody forsake yourselves!" she said as she ran away slowly.
"This stuff ain't fresh, dude." Gilda said as she poked the apple.
"Aw, poor Granny Smith, she didn't know it was a joke. How mean. No, no, I can't misjudge her. It was kind of a funny prank, I guess." Pinkie said but then stopped her misunderstanding. She then sees Gilda swipe an apple and eat it. Pinkie then gasps.
"I did misjudge her. She's not only a meanie mean-pants, she's also a thief. Nonononono, she might give it back. It's just a joke." What happens next will show you that Pinkie was right all along. Fluttershy and Stewie was going backwards while guiding some ducks.
"Alright little ones, this way, this way. Mama duck, you're free and clear." Fluttershy said. They both bumped into Gilda.
"Hey." Gilda said.
"Please excuse us. Fluttershy and I were"- Stewie said before he was interrupted by Gilda.
"I'm walkin' here." Gilda said as she raises her voice.
"Oh, um, I'm sorry. I-I-I was just trying to…" Fluttershy said as she backed up.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Why don't you just watch where you're going, doofus?" Gilda said as she mocked Fluttershy's voice.
Stewie stood in front of Fluttershy and said, "Hey. That's no way to talk to someone. We were guiding the ducks, so I suggest you move out of the way."
Meanwhile, Peter was sitting by himself. He then saw what was going on. 'What the hell's going on over there?' he thought.
Gilda then growls at Stewie and claws him across the side of his face, leaving a bloody scar.
"Stewie!" Fluttershy said.
Gilda then roars at Fluttershy until someone grabbed her beak and shut it. It was revealed that Peter grabbed his beak.
"I should've known. Pinkie was right about you all along." Peter said as he still had Gilda's beak closed.
"Let my beak go you freak." Gilda said in a muffled voice. Peter didn't listen.
"No freaking way. At first, I just thought Pinkie was just jealous, but when I saw you attack my son and yelled at Fluttershy, I have no choice now but to end your bullying ways. I don't want to fight you Gilda, so I suggest you apologize to Stewie and Fluttershy." Getting angry, Gilda swipes her claw at Peter's chest which lets his grip of her beak loosen and makes him step back holding his chest.
"That's it freak. You've made me angry."
"So that's how it is, huh?" Gilda then rushed at Peter. Peter then roundhouse kicked Gilda into Granny Smith's apples.
"Grrr." Gilda then recovers and flies towards Peter at incredible speeds. Peter than grabs Gilda's claw and swings her around.
"Stop doing that!" Gilda said as she was getting dizzy. Peter then smirked a little and said, "Sure, I'll be glad to." Peter then let's go of Gilda which sends her into a wall.
"Look Gilda, if you just apologize, we can leave this behind"- Peter said before Gilda kicks him in the face and sends him into one of the tables.
"That's it. I'm gonna finish you now." Gilda said. She then grabbed Peter as a bird of prey. Peter then punched her leg in order for her to let go of him. Peter then lands on his feet. Gilda was pissed. She charged toward Peter once more, but Peter then punched her on the gut and kicked her a far distance. He then ran up towards her and got ready to deliver the final blow. Gilda flinched as she thought she was going to die. She then opened her eyes and saw Peter's fist right in front of her face.
"Consider yourself lucky that I didn't go any further. Now, stay away from my son and Fluttershy." Peter said.
"You'll pay for this freak." Gilda said as she flew away with sore ribs and a numb face. Peter face was also a little numb and the place where he got clawed at was bleeding a little, but he has faced much greater dangers before.
"Now that's an example of the best dad ever", Stewie said. Pinkie then hopped toward Peter and said, "Oh my gosh! That was amazing! How did you do that?!"
"My dad's known for fighting a lot."
"Stewie, you okay?" Peter asked.
"I'm fine. I might need a bandage though."
"How about you, Fluttershy?" Pinkie said.
"I-I'm fine." She said a little worried about Gilda.
"Hey, it's alright, Fluttershy, with someone like my dad, you'll always be safe, especially with bullies like Gilda." Stewie said trying to comfort her.
"Look Pinkie, I'm sorry for not believing you earlier about Gilda. She won't get away with this." Peter said apologetically.
It's okay. And you're right, she won't get away with this. This calls for extreme measures, Pinkie Pie style." Pinkie said.
Sugarcube Corner
"Welcome, welcome. Welcome!" Pinkie said as she started inviting friends to Gilda's party.
"Talk about a dropout. Her plans a freaking party." Stewie said while talking to Peter.
"Who's this Gilda I've heard nothing about?" Applejack said while talking to Rarity and Brian.
"I heard that she's an old friend of Rainbow Dash." Brian said.
"I hear she's an old friend of Rainbow Dash. A griffon, so rare." Rarity said.
"You've met Gilda, right? What's she like?"
"You'll know once you meet her." Peter and Stewie said together. Twilight then took notice of Peter's and Stewie's bandages.
"What happened to you two?" Stewie then made a quick lie.
"A bear attacked us so we got fixed up quickly."
"What he said."
"O-okay." Twilight said as she began to talk to other ponies.
"Um, Pinkie Pie, about this party for Gilda. Umm… Do you really think it's a good idea? I mean"- said Fluttershy until Pinkie interrupts her.
"Don't worry your pretty little head about mean old Gilda. Your auntie Pinkie Pie's got it all taken care of." Pinkie said.
"I'm a year older than you." Fluttershy said but Pinkie just ignored her. As Peter and Stewie were waiting around together, a tap was felt on Peter's shoulders. Then turned to see an angry Rainbow Dash with Gilda right behind her.
"What do you think you're doing?" Rainbow asked Peter.
"Doing what, Rainbow?" Peter responded.
"Throwing this party. Gilda told me what happened at the market earlier." Rainbow said, trying to keep her cool.
"She did?" Stewie asked as he and Peter glared at the guilty griffon.
"Yeah. She told me how your father here attacked her out of nowhere. She saw you guys sitting at a table while Stewie was bandaged. You two were talking for a little and Peter told Gilda that she attacked Stewie, which is why he was bandaged, even though she didn't. She has the injuries to prove it. She had to claw you and kick you in the face in order to make you stop."
'What? Gilda started it, not Peter and Stewie.' Pinkie and Fluttershy thought.
"What the hell are you talking about? She definitely left out some details." Peter said.
"I DON'T CARE!" shouted Rainbow as she smashed her hoof on one of the tables. This caused the whole room to be silent. The cyan Pegasus was in the Griffin's faces, but they were not backing off.
"I trusted you, Peter and Stewie. But how can I when you attack my friends with no remorse? You two are monsters. Monsters that only live to hurt others. You two make me sick." This shocked both Stewie and Peter.
"Aren't you going to listen to our perspective?" Stewie said to the angry Pegasus.
"No. Get out."
"But"- Peter said as she tried to explain but Rainbow didn't give him the chance.
"Get! OUT!" shouted the Pegasus as she gave Peter a strong punch to the gut, a lot harder than what she did before. Peter then coughed out a little blood as he stood there and glared at Rainbow menacingly.
"Fine. Come on, Stewie, let's go." Peter and Stewie walked out of the place. Peter then glared at Gilda and said, "You won't get away with this."
"I think I already have." Gilda said.
"P-Peter, Stewie!" Fluttershy said but Brian and Twilight stopped her. They shook their heads.
Outside of Sugarcube Corner
Peter and Stewie then sat on the bench.
"What do we know, Stewie?" Peter asked.
"We wait until Pinkie's plan succeeds." Stewie said.
Back at Sugarcube Corner
As the ponies try to get over what happened earlier, Pinkie Pie started it off by welcoming Gilda.
"Gilda! I'm so honored to throw you one of my signature Pinkie Pie parties, and I really, truly, sincerely, hope you feel welcome here amongst all us pony folks." Pinkie said as she reached her hand out to Gilda. As Gilda shook her hand slowly, she got electrocuted from the old classic hoof-shake buzzer sending her to the floor. Brian had a smirk on his face after he watched it.
"Oh Brian, the old hoof-shake buzzer. You are a scream." Rainbow said, more relieved that Peter and Stewie were gone.
"Yeah *chuckles nervously* uh, good one, Pinkie Pie." Gilda said.
"Come on G, I'll introduce you to some of my other friends." Rainbow said.
"Right behind you Dash." Gilda said. Before she could join Rainbow, she gave a warning to Pinkie Pie.
"I know what you're up to."
"Great." Said Pinkie.
"Rrrh. I know what you're planning." Gilda said trying to rephrase her sentence.
"Well, I hope so. This wasn't supposed to be a surprise party." Pinkie said, not taking Gilda's threat seriously.
"I mean, I've got my eye on you."
"And I got my eye on you." Pinkie said as she bulged her eyes out. "Everyone, I'd like you all to meet Gilda, a long-time, dear friend of Rainbow Dash. Let's honor her and welcome her to Ponyville." All the ponies cheered for Gilda. "Please help yourself.
"Vanilla lemon drops. Don't mind if I do." Gilda said as she ate a few lemon drops. Suddenly her mouth started to burn. "HOT!" Only Brian was the one who realized what the prank was meant to do.
"G, the punch." Rainbow said as he pointed to the punch.
"Huh?" Gilda grabs a glass and pours some punch in it. As she attempts to douse the drink, it pours out onto her shirt. Everyone started to laugh.
"Well, whaddya know, pepper in the vanilla lemon drops, and the punch served in a dribble glass." Pinkie said.
"Ha. Priceless. Priceless." Rainbow said while laughing. Gilda then dunks her head into the punch bowl and brings it back out.
"Yeah, hilarious."
'It seems that my plans working. It's time to take things up a notch.' Brian thought.
"Hey G, look, presents." Rainbow said as she pointed to the presents. As Gilda opened a present, fake snakes came out of the box.
"Spittin' snakes. Hah, somepony pulled that prank on me last month." Applejack said as everyone starts to laugh again.
"Ha ha. I bet I know who that was." Gilda said in a sarcastic voice, directed to Pinkie Pie.
15 Minutes Later
As everyone was enjoying the party, Brian and Pinkie Pie brought out the cake.
"Cake time everypony." Pinkie said.
"Hey, can I blow out the candles?" Spike asked. Brian whispered something to Pinkie's ear, and they giggled a little of the idea.
"Hmm, why don't we let Gilda blow out the candles, Spike. She is the guest of honor after all." Pinkie said.
"Exactly." Gilda said as she blew out the candles. Suddenly, they relit. Gilda then proceeded to blow out the candles multiple times only to see the relight. Everyone then laughs as Gilda loses her breath.
"Re-lighting birthday candles, I love that prank. What a classic." Spike said.
"Now, I wonder who could've done that." Pinkie said as he glared at Brian which made him chuckle.
"Yeah, I wonder." Gilda said.
"Mmm, who cares. This cake is amazing." Spike said as she burrowed through the cake.
"Spike." Twilight said.
"What? It's great, try some." Spike said.
"Hey G, you're not upset about some silly candles, are you?" Rainbow asked the griffon.
"Now way Dash, like I said, I'm down with a good prank." Gilda said, making a lie.
"Come on then, let's have some cake." Rainbow said. As Pinkie bit into, the cake, Gilda grabbed her neck and brought her behind the cake.
"Hey, I'm watching you. Like a hawk." Gilda said.
Why? Can't you watch me like a griffon?" Pinkie asked. Gilda and Pinkie then came out from behind the cake with innocent smiles.
"Hey y'all, it's pin the tail on the pony. Let's play." Applejack said.
"Oh, my favorite game. Can I go first? Can I have the purple tails." Rarity asked.
"Well, I am the guest of honor, and I'll have the purple tail." Gilda said.
"Yeah, Gilda should definitely go first. Let's get you blindfolded." Brian said.
"Hey what- ugh- what are you doing? Rrrah." Gilda said as she is blindfolded and spun around by Pinkie.
"We're spinning you around and around and then you can pin the tail on the pony. Now just walk straight ahead and pin the tails." Pinkie said.
"Now just walk straight ahead and pin the tails." Gilda said, mocking Pinkie's voice. "Hmph, yeah, right. This is another prank, isn't it? I'm going this way." Gilda then walked the other way.
"Wait. The poster is this"- Pinkie said to no avail. Gilda then slips on a piece of cake.
"Whoa whaa waah wahh waaaaah." Gilda shouted as she slid into the table. As she got up, she had a tail on her nose and the way it was on her beak made it look like a moustache.
"Uh, Gilda? You pinned the tail on the wrong end." Pinkie said as everyone laughed. Brian could feel that Gilda was about to blow her top. Gilda then roars at the top of her lungs.
"This is your idea of a good time? I've never met a lamer bunch of dweebs in all my life." Gilda said. Her eyes then become slits. "And Pinkie Pie, you! You are queen lame-o with your weak little party pranks. Did you really think you could make me lose my cool? Well, Dash and I have ten times as much cool as the rest of you put together. Come on Dash, we're bailing on this pathetic scene. Come on Rainbow Dash. I said, we're leaving." Before Rainbow could respond, Brian speaks up.
"Actually, Gilda, I set up those weak pranks." Brian said in front of the griffon.
"What?" Gilda said as she gasped in surprise.
"Ooh." Pinkie said.
"So, you didn't know?" Brian asked.
Flashback
The scenes were playing while Brian was explaining.
"Peter, Stewie, and I met up when Peter was told us what happened at the library. So we decided to set up a plan: Stewie would ask Fluttershy if she can guide the ducks with him, while Peter would be 'minding his own business,' while I was spying on you. When I saw you meet up and with Stewie and Fluttershy and how you were bullying them, I gave Peter the signal to step in. After that was done, Pinkie was setting up the party, which gave me the chance to tell Pinkie what I can do."
End of Flashback
"And this is only a partial reason why this party was thrown. Pinkie also threw this party so she can change your attitude. Twilight, remember what you said earlier at the library?" Twilight then flashbacked when she, Peter, Pinkie, and Spike were at the library.
Flashback
"I mean, perhaps it's you, Pinkie, who needs to improve her attitude."
End of Flashback
"Of course! I told Pinkie that she might be the one to improve her attitude, which is the reason why this party was thrown in the first place." Twilight said.
"That freak doggy friend over there is lying." Gilda said.
"Freak? That's funny. You called Peter the same thing when he stopped you from picking on Stewie and Fluttershy at the market earlier." Brian said.
"What?" Rainbow said.
"Oh, yes. I totally forgot what happened earlier at the market." Pinkie said as she chuckled.
"That's right. Tell her, Fluttershy." Brian said.
"Me and Stewie were guiding the ducks when we accidentally bumped into Gilda. She then started to threaten me, but Stewie stood up for me, and that's when he got clawed across his face. And that's when Peter stepped in and saved us." Fluttershy explained.
"Rainbow Dash, are you going to listen to these freaks?" Gilda said to Rainbow. Rainbow just looked at her, but didn't say anything.
"Rrgh. Yeah? Well, you, you, you are such a, a flip-flop: cool one minute and lame the next. When you decide not to be lame anymore, gimme a call." Gilda said as she flew away.
"Wow, talk about a party pooper." Spike said. Rainbow then approached Brian and Fluttershy.
"So, everything you said was true?" Rainbow asked.
"Yep, 100% true." Brian said.
"I have to go guys." Rainbow said as she flew off.
Outside
Peter and Stewie were still sitting on the bench. They then saw Gilda fly away and stopped and glared at them. She mouthed something off and flew away.
"Well, looks like our plan worked." Stewie said.
"Peter? Stewie?" They both heard a soft and timid voice call their names. They turned around to see Rainbow Dash, trying to hold her tears in.
"So Rainbow, how did the party"- before Stewie finished, Rainbow wrapped her arms around both of their necks. She started crying.
"I'm so, so sorry, guys! I'm sorry I hit you and everything! Can you ever forgive me?" Rainbow said as she continued to cry. Peter and Stewie were in shock to see one of the toughest tomboys now crying on their shoulders. They both smiled.
"Hey, stop crying, Rainbow." Stewie said. Rainbow then let go of them and wiped her tears away.
"When Gilda told me you attacked her, I was so angry. I thought you didn't cared about anyone anymore. But after what Brian and Fluttershy told me, I felt ashamed of myself. Can you two ever forgive me?" Rainbow said.
They both smiled and said, "We already did, Rainbow Dash." Peter said.
"I just want you to control your temper later on, okay?" Stewie asked.
"Okay." Rainbow said as she wiped the tears and smiled a little. "I guess I deserve a huge punishment for punching you at the party." Rainbow said.
"Nah, we'll let you off the hook, for now." Peter said.
"Good." Rainbow whispered.
"What did you say?" Peter and Stewie asked menacingly.
"Oh, uh, nothing, nothing at all." Rainbow said sheepishly. She realized that this was the first time she acted a girly in years.
"Haha. Just kidding, buddy." Stewie said.
"So Rainbow, how does it feel to act girly for once?" Peter asked.
"Oh, shut up." Rainbow said as she hit Peter's shoulder, only to make him and Stewie laugh.
Back at Sugarcube Corner
While the ponies were enjoying the party, Twilight had Spike send a letter to Princess Celestia.
Twilight Sparkle: Dearest Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that it is hard to accept when somepony you like wants to spend time with somepony who's not so nice. Though it's impossible to control who your friends hand out with, it is possible to control your own behavior. Just continue to be a good friend. In the end, the difference between a false friend and the one who is true will surely come to light.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle
Canterlot
After reading the letter, Celestia was about to write her back.
Princess Celestia: Dear Twilight Sparkle,
My most faithful student, suddenly, the ink disappears. She actually used disappearing ink.
"Oh, huh, wrong ink." Celestia then chuckles upon realizing her mistake.
