Chapter 42: Happy New Year

Agent BM: Yes it was, thx


It was three days after Christmas, and people were getting ready for the New Year. Sophie was currently with her friends, and they were talking about the New Year.

"I wonder what'll happen?" she thought.

"I don't know, but I hope nothing bad." said Kevin.

"Any of you got resolutions?" asked Lohdi Jr.

"Mine is to try and be good." Lucy piped up.

She still remembered getting all that coal at Christmas.

"But I'd like to invite you guys to a New Year's Eve sleepover party."

That sounded like fun to the kids.

"It's not gonna be like your birthday party is it?" Toxic wanted to know.

"This party will be way different from our birthday, mostly because Pinkie Pie will be nowhere near here." said Kevin.

"What does Pinkie Pie have to do with anything?" Christie asked.

"She did our birthday party for free. We were broke and were trying to keep up appearances, not like we had a lot of options." Kevin explained.

"No pin the tail on the donkey or musical chairs this time."

"So what will you have?" Scoop asked.

"Now that the Empire no longer controls my businesses, I can get some games from my arcade brought over, we can play some games."

"With a little altering I can turn proton bombs into fireworks, we can shoot them into the sky." Lucy mentioned.

"We'll get food from different planets imported."

"Nothing from Equestria or Cybertron of course, unless you want food from Equestria Mocho and Cinnamon, I know you can eat flowers no problem."

"I don't actually care about those creatures." Cinnamon told her.

"I'll gladly come, Lucy." Mocho replied with excitement, wagging his tail.

"I know you will, Mocho. We're still making preparations, but at the end of the night we can all gather in my room in my castle and see the fireworks, the best view of the farmlands, and part of the city. I hear Hell's Gate will be launching some good stuff this year, maybe we can see them from my room."

"Ill have to get back to you on that. My parents are going to Dancitron and plan to drop me off with my grandparents, gotta talk myself out of it." Sophie told.

"Good luck with that. Bring Zack if you want too, maybe he'll like the view." Lucy offered.

"I'll think about it."


After a while, the kids left the castle to get permission from their parents. Honey and Zeke were in their room packing their bags.

"I'm really looking forward to this trip, Zeke." said Honey.

"So am I, Honey." Zeke agreed.

Just then there was a knock at their door.

"Come in." called Honey.

Sophie opened the door, and poked her head in.

"Hey, Mom, Dad. Lucy and Kevin are having a New Year's sleepover party at the castle."

"And you're invited?" asked Zeke.

"Yeah, it's gonna be on New Year's Eve, and we're gonna play video games, eat junk food, and watch fireworks."

"Sounds like a good time." Honey told her.

"Can I go? Please?"

"You don't want to stay with your grandparents?" Sophie looked sheepish.

"Don't get me wrong, I love them. But this is going to be a big party with all my friends." Honey smiled at her.

"We're just teasing you, sweetie. You can go."

"Really?"

"It's tradition to go to a party on New Year's Eve, and you're entitled to follow." Zeke replied.

"Great, Lucy said Zack could come too."

"That's a nice offer, but it's probably best to let Zack stay with Grandma and Grandpa."

"Your father's right, Sophie. New Year's Eve parties aren't the best places for babies." Honey added.

"Okay, thanks guys."

And Sophie left the room.


When New Year's Eve came, Sophie packed her bag.

"Let's see, I got my pajamas, my other clothes, my toothbrush and toothpaste, slippers, I also got a couple of my toys, and Butter's bunny food."

"Sophie, it's almost time to go." called Honey.

"Be right there, Mom." Sophie called back.

Sophie put Butter in her carrier, grabbed her pillow and bag, and left the room. The Shaws piled into their car, and drove off from their mansion. First they stopped at Wanda and Trevor's house, to drop off Zack.

"Thanks for watching Zack, Mom and Dad." Honey told them.

"It's no problem, Honey." Wanda replied her, cradling Zack in her arms.

"You two just don't party too hard in Dancitron." Trevor said.

"We won't." assured Zeke.

Then the two looked at Sophie.

"And we hope you have fun at your sleepover." said Wanda.

"Thanks, Grandma." Sophie answered.

Then the rest of the family got back in the car, and drove to the castle.


When they arrived, Sophie kissed her mom and dad goodbye, and told them she'd see them next year. A droid escorted her inside, and up to the twin's play room. Most of her classmates were already there and having fun.

The twins then noticed her.

"Hey, Sophie." greeted Lucy.

"Glad you made it. And I see you brought Butter." Kevin observed.

"Yeah, Mom and Dad said it probably wasn't a good idea to bring Zack. So I brought Butter instead."

"She's gotten bigger from when we last saw her."

"You better keep a close eye on her. I have a cat remember?" Lucy reminded.

"Benson? He wouldn't hurt Butter would he?"

"No, he's a pretty friendly cat. But he's still a cat, and Butter is a type of rodent. So we need to be careful."

The twins then showed Sophie where to put her stuff, and Lucy put a special collar on Benson, that would alert her to whenever he'd be coming close. After that was taken care off, the other kids began arriving, and the party got into full swing.


The kids spent the rest of the day playing video games, eating junk food, and having fun.

"This is an awesome party." said Gummy.

"You got that right." agreed Reese.

"Glad you guys are enjoying yourselves." Lucy told them.

"Hey Lucy, Kevin what are we gonna do for dinner?" wondered Petermint.

"We ordered pizza for later." Kevin informed.

"Sounds great."

Baking nodded in agreement.

"I can't wait till the fireworks go off." mentioned Lodhi Jr.

"Actually, we're gonna blast off some fireworks ourselves." Lucy told him.

"Really?" asked Norville.

That sounded really exciting and fun to the kids.


When the sun went down, Lucy had her droids get the cannons ready, while the pizza got delivered. As the kids ate their dinner, and guzzled down soda, they talked about the new year.

"I wonder what'll happen?" thought Christie.

"I hope something good." hoped Mocho.

"Hopefully I'm able to try and get rid of this "crazy princess" title." Lucy said.

"Maybe you can Lucy." encouraged Sophie.

"Like my mom says, "anything is possible"."

"That's true." agreed Kevin.

Lucy smiled, maybe things would be better. After dinner, the kids watched some TV and movies, and around 11:50, the droids got the cannons ready.

"It's almost time, everyone. Those cannons ready boys?" Lucy wanted to know.

"All ready, Princess Lucy." a droid replied.

Lucy got everyone's attention, and instructed them to go outside to the balcony and stand next to a cannon.

"All right guys. As soon at the clock strikes midnight, we fire the cannons."

The kids understood, and picked out their cannons. The countdown continued, and soon it was down to 20 seconds.

"All right let's get counting." instructed Kevin.

Sophie held onto Butter, as she counted down with the others.

"18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" they all counted down.

When they finished they all fired their cannons, shooting fireworks off into the sky.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" all the kids cheered.

As other fireworks got shot off into the sky, Sophie held Butter up.

"This is it, Butter. A whole new year starts now." Sophie told.

Butter just squeaked.
