Chapter 2
Big City Lights

The city is a wondrous place. Huge, crowded, busy, vast, you name it. There is a limitless amount of fun activates to do in the city. Similar to the famous cities in the Human World, Equestria also has its fair shares of famous cities, with the most famous one being Las Hooves. The otherworld counterpart to the United States' Las Vegas. Comparing it to Manehattan, Las Hooves may be smaller in size, but it's three times as crowded and busy as Manehattan. Ponies wishing to become big journey to Las Hooves in the hope of hitting the jackpot. In both life and money I might add. Las Hooves in also known as the casino capital of the world. There are countless casinos positioned throughout Las Hooves. So many that it would take you one week to visit all of them. That's if you didn't run out of money by then. As with being a very popular city, Las Hooves isn't for the faint of heart. If you're not careful, you could lose yourself within the city and do something you would regret for the rest of your life. That's not to say Las Hooves in a bad spot to visit, it's just you need to know what you're getting yourself ahead of time. If your visiting Las Hooves with your family, please remember to keep a very close eye on your children as they are the ones most likely to fall victim to Las Hooves, the city of sin. This is the story about the accidental blunder of six fathers. It all began one usual hectic and bustling evening in the city of Las Hooves. Prince Flareon, Princess Twilight, Summer, and the others with their families were all seen inside a large hotel suite on the top floor of the tallest hotel in Las Hooves. The suite was so big, it was able to accommodate 17 ponies and one dragon. Yeah, it was literally that big. The reason why they were visiting Las Hooves was because both Rarity and Jasmine were having a fashion show at La Bea Fashionista, the absolutely best place in Equestria to go to show off your designing talent, skill, and expertise. After some discussion, Spike and his family decided to bring along everyone else with them to visit Las Hooves. That is the update so far. As the ponies were laying around doing stuff, Rarity turned to her to look at the time. She then turned to Jasmine. "We should get going." As Rarity and Jasmine prepared to get ready, Twilight approached Flareon.

"Me and the girls are going to watch Rarity and Jasmine's fashion show," Twilight said, "Since both shows are at separate times, it will be about six hours before we get back. I want you and the guys to watch kids while we're gone."

"Got it," Flareon replied lazily as he continued to read his book.

"Whatever you do...don't leave this hotel," Twilight said in a serious tone. With that, Twilight and the rest of the girls left with Rarity and Jasmine to La Bea Fashionista. How long would it take for trouble to commence? Only one hour. After taking a swim in the pool, Flareon and the other fathers were dead bored. It was at that moment Spike suggested they venture into the city for some late night wife-free fun.

"You can't be serious Spike," Blue Thunder said sternly, "We can't go out with the kids at this hour."

"That's why I'm saying one of us should stay behind and keep an eye on them," Spike replied, "That way we can go out without worrying about the kids. So...who's volunteering to be foalsitter?"

"Not me!" everyone shouted at the same time.

"Well one of us has to do it," Demure muttered.

"Should we trying picking sticks?" Lodi asked.

"I say Spike should do it," Party Bash suggested, "He was the one who came up with this plan after all. Fair is fair."

"What?! How is that fair?" Spike asked angrily. It was nearly 30 minutes of constant arguing until they decided on Spike staying behind. Everyone but Spike agreed to this. Before he could vent his frustration at them, Flareon and the guys left the hotel to have the time of their lives. What a time it was. They had fun at the casinos, amusement park, comedy and magic shows, clubs, visited the Dollis Fountain, dinner at the famous restaurant Quintana, and everywhere that caught their eye. nearly five hours later, the ponies began to make their way back to the hotel. As Flareon and the others discussed about their favorite place they went to, the guys realized someone was with them that shouldn't be. "My favorite part was when we went to that one casino where that girl kissed me on the check after I won the jackpot." Everyone was completely shocked.

"Spike?!" Flareon exclaimed eyes wide, "What are you doing here?! I thought you were back at the hotel!" In response, Spike looked at Flareon confused.

"What are you talking about?" Spike asked, "I thought we agreed that Demure was the foalsitter?" He then realized that Demure was standing by him. "Demure? Why aren't you at the hotel watching the kids?" It took almost three seconds before they realized that no one was watching the kids. As fast as they could, the guys rushed back to their hotel room, only to find it was empty. There was no sign of Summer or her friends anywhere. To make matters worse, Twilight, Rarity, Jasmine, and the rest were back. The girls soon realized that fives ponies were missing. Twilight soon uttered the heart-piercing question they knew was coming.

"Where are the kids?" Twilight asked. When Flareon and the others didn't respond due to being overcome with fear, it took only a matter of a split-second for the tidal wave of pure rage from six super angry wives to knock them off their hooves. The sound of their voice screaming was nearly unbearable. "I swear...if anything bad happened to them, you guys are seriously gonna get it!"

"We know," they muttered with their heads held down.

"Let's split up and search for them," Applejack quickly suggested. Immediately afterwards, the ponies left the hotel and began their search for Summer, Skyline, Chary, Melrose, and Jester. The frantic search for the missing ponies had begun in the bright lights of the big city. As the hours went by, one by one Flareon and the others managed to find Summer and her friends. The ironic part was they were found in the same spots Flareon and the guys visited. Great yet mischievous minds think alike suppose. In the end, the ponies returned to Ponyville. However, the guys didn't get off scot-free for their late night of fun in Las Hooves. They got punished. Their punishment? I don't want to go too deep into detail, but it was severe enough to scare them straight into never doing what they did ever again. It was literally that bad. Never doubt the aspiring power of the female. As for Rarity and Jasmine, their fashion shows were a complete success. Rarity even managed to move from 4th to 3rd in the Equestria's Greatest Fashion Designers Top 10 list. More surprising news, Jasmine was able to finally make it into the top 10 at the 10 spot. She became the youngest pony ever to make the top 10. Also, Rarity and Jasmine became the first mother-daughter pair to make it into the top 10 list. A very historic day that would be remembered forever.
