HEEEY MY PEOPLES! WHAT IS UP! New chapter, new craziness, and EVEN MORE EPICNESS!

Lance- How are you able to get my snacks?

Me- I have my ways. By the way, where is the snack bin now?

Lance- With Annabeth, so I can guarantee that you can't get it.

Me- ...ON WITH THE SHOW!

Lance

He had that dream again, where Celestia lost against the bug-like thing. This time he managed to look around, seeing all the others with him and a new alicorn.

She was pink, looked like she lived in the woods for a few days (her mane was a little scraggly and she had dirt spots on her coat), and had a heart on her flank. He focused more on her and the scene changed to a dome room with crystals making up the walls and ceiling.

He was about to look for more when something, or rather someone, shoved him out of bed. He landed with a THUD! (deja vu...again). He sat up groaning. Applebloom was beaming down at him from his bed.

"You're finally awake! Come on!" She was so excited she was jumping up and down. "What's going on?" he asked groggily. Applebloom was at the door in a second, beckoning him with her hoof to follow. He managed to get back on his hoofs. He had a semi-sleepless night. Lance followed Applebloom downstairs, seeng Applejack chatting with Twilight Sparkle.

They both noticed him. "Mornin' young 'un." Applejack greeted. Lance was so tired he bumped into the table. "Are you okay?" Twilight asked, sounding genuinely concerned. "Couldn't get much sleep last night. Weird dreams." He told them about his dream

Lance could barely keep his eyes open. Twilight looked deep in thought. "I will have to tell the princess. Speaking of which, are you ready?" "For what?" Applejack smiled. "The princess has invited us to the Gala. Everypony is excited, especially Rarity." He was so tired the only word Lance really registered was 'Gala'. While the others were chatting, Lance had fallen asleep.

The next time he woke up, he was on Percy's back. They were heading for the train, along with the others. He looked around. Pinkie Pie was wearing a pink cape with candy corn pieces inside white circles, pink shoes with blue bowties and white shadowing for the middle tie, a pink tie holding the cape together on her neck, and a flat, circular blue and white hat (like icecream guys from the 50s).

Applejack had on a green and light brown cape, with a white line seperating the colors. She had on two green cowboy boots, her cowboy hat, and a red bolo-tie in the shape of an apple.

Rarity had on a magenta-pink cape with three yellow stripes on each side with a hood and tied together around the base of her neck and some slver things on her hooves (He couldn't really tell what they were). She had on ruby earing with two earlets (like miniature rings) on each ear as well. The final piece was a small, golden tiara/crown on her head.

Twilight had on a blue cape with light-blue on the outer edge, seperated by different sized white stars and it was held together by a broach in the shale of a white star. On her hooves, she had huge silver thing with a star above each point on her silver things. She had on earings colored grayish-blue-white.

Fluttershy had on a green cape with a thin yellow line near the edge and flowers on each side colored blue green (leaning more towards blue). She had on a butterfly-shaped broach colored a dark cyan blue (a little darker than Rainbow Dash). Her earrings were the same shape and color but they were a bit smaller. On her hooves were green things (he decided to just call them shoes) that had a small point and vines to hold them onto her hooves.

Rainbow Dash looked more Greek (albeit a Pony-Greek). She had on golden shoes with laces like those on ancient Greek sandals. On her head was a golden laurel wreath. Her rainbow-colored cape with a cloud design on on side was held onto her with a grape-bunch shaped broach.

He was so tired he fell asleep again. When he woke up again (this time for good), they were just making it past the castle gates.

Percy

Lance had finally woken up. He had literally slept through most of the trip. "Have a good nap?" He looked at me and stood up fully on my back (thank the gods he didn't weigh much). "Actually, I did." We passed into the castle. Ponies were everywhere. Celestia was greeting partygoers by the front door and our friends, except for Twilight Sparkle, each headed off.

"Welcome mares and gentlecolts," Celstia greeted, "to Canterlot Castle and the Grand Galloping Gala." "That's a mouthful." I pointed out. Celestia chuckled. "Your young friend there had said the same thing." Lance had hopped down and was grinning. Sometimes, Lance and Percy said the same things so much it was scary. Like, supernatural scary.

Thankfully Annabeth stepped in because Percy had no clue as to what was going on. The tuxedo Rarity had made for him fit like a glove, but he still felt uncomfortable. "We thank you, Princess Celestia, for inviting us to the Gala." She gave a slight bow. Percy felt Lance hop back up again.

Annabeth looked amazing wearing a shimmering, red dress and two owl shaped earrings. Lance hopped down as we entered the main party area. It looked more like a fancy banquet rich people attended except the people were mostly unicorns. We each just headed off in random directions trying to 'mingle' with the crowd. All Percy managed to do was earn a couple of evil eyes from partygoers and almost tripping into the band of four ponies.

Lance

After Percy had almost wrecked the band, Lance decided he was hungry. He looked around and found Applejack looking depressed while running a food stand. He trotted over. "Hey Applejack, why so down?" She looked up. "I just can't sell anythin' t'night. Seems ponies here don't like pies or apple products." Lance actually felt bad for Applejack. He was so sad he came up with a stupidly brilliant idea.

"Hey Applejack. I think I can help out." She was confused. "I don't follow, Tidal Wave." He gave a smirk that would've made Leo proud. "Just trust me. All I need is a pie." She looked uncertain but handed Lance a pie. "Don't worry if your plan doesn't go th' way ya think it will." She said with absolute, sad certainty.

He walked around, finding unicorns waiting for their food with empty plates. Lance looked around and saw a tuxedo just right for his size. He put it on, being careful, not to tear it with his horn. Once he thought he looked like a little waiter, he went off with the pie. Whenever a unicorn asked for a pece of pie, Lance gave them each a slice. Once the unicorns tried it, they told Lance, "This is the best pie I have ever tasted. Might you give my compliments to the chef." "Actually, the chef didn't make this." He nodded off towards Applejack. "She had made it."

Most of the unicorns were shocked, but still thought she was a fine chef. However one unicorn almost made Lance establish a bad reputation. "How can a simple Earth pony create such a eloquent masterpiece of food?" Lance had to grit his teeth. "I'm not kidding. She actually made it." Lance was waved off. "I'm surprised it doesn't have dirt in it."

When the unicorn turned back around, Lance took a couple steps back and counted to ten. When he had calmed down a little, he went back to Applejack. "Any luck?" He asked hopefully. She shook her head solemnly. "Not another pony has been t' my stand. Don't worry, I know ya tried." Lance trotted off feeling beaten. His plans had normally worked, but now... he didn't know what to do.

Annabeth

If she could, Annabeth would've stayed here for as long as she could to study the facades and the arches of this castle. Had she started talking to Lance or Percy their eyes would glaze over. She was walkign around until she saw Rarity, looking sad. "Hey," Annabeth said while trotting up to her, "what's the matter?" "Oh darling, I wanted to meet some higher up fashion designers to have a unique conversation, but apperently no pony thought the same."

Annabeth didn't know what to do. This kind of thing never really happened, even with the Aphrodite campers (and that's saying something). "I don't really know much about designing clothes, but I am fascinated by architecture." Rarity looked up. "Well the reverse could be said for me. I know you tried sweetie, i really do, but..oh if only somepony who was a major fashion designer were here." Annabeth left her to sulk on peace.

Annabeth was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she accidently bumped into someone. "Hey Annabeth." Percy said in a low voice. "Hey Percy. Everyone seems so glum here." She said in an equally low voice. He nodded. "I don't think even Lance..er, Tidal Wave could cheer this place up."

Just then, Fluttershy had burst through a door, shouting "Love Me!" to some small woodland creatures. This day just got weird.

Nico

Normally Lance was the one to cause a commotion but this time it was that shy pony that started the chain of events. After she came in screaming and looking evilly crazy, the cyan one had tried to impress someone but ended up knocking over a pillar (no one was hurt). As all of this was happening, Nico could only think Where did that little purple dragon go? Thankfully as well the three little ponies that came with them had gotten a bit sick and had to go home.

Back to the action, everyone was staring in awe at the rubble that lay on the floor in front of them. Lance had trotted up to the rubble and helped the cyan pegasus out. "Wha...? What happened?" Lance brought her over to the rest of her friends (apparently they all did embarrassing things too). They had a conversation but Nico didn't hear it because the princess had trotted up nextto him.

He saw the girls leaving with their heads hanging. He saw his friends leaving after them. "I will be right behind, Timeholder, but I have to help with the cleaning." Celestia said reassuringly. Nico nodded and galloped after his friends.

He caught up with them easily. The looks on all their faces made even him sad (is that even possible?). Nico was never good at cheering people up, but now he had to try. Up ahead he saw the little purple dragon sitting in a doughnut shop.

He nudged Twilight. She looked at him and he nodded towards the shoppe. Twilight perked up somewhat, as did the others. Once inside they met up with Spike, who looked grumpy while eating a doughnut.

He heard them coming and half turned. Twilight spoke first. "Hi Spike, sorry we didn't get to hang out like you wanted." This time he fully turned around. "I accept your apologies." He had a huge grin on his face as they all went in for a group hug.

Just then the princess walked in. "I see you have all made well." She was smirking. "I'm sorry we ruined your Gala, Princess Celestia." Celestia put a hoof up to silence her. "Actually, all the other Galas were boring. You and your friends made things interesting for me." They all gave a grin. The shoppe keeper offered each of them a free doughnut (Lance practically inhaled his).

The group waved goodbye to the princess as we boarded the train back to...Nico had forgotten the town's name. As soon as they arrived, everyone paired up with their hosts and headed off. Nico was so tired he headed straight up the stairs and crashed into the bed.

I FINALLY FINISHES THIS CHAPTER! To all the bronies who have read this: Forgive me if I didn't get the events exactly right. I haven't really seen that episode. To everyone else: If you didn't watch the episode, the events are pretty close, I just didn't include some of the others.

Until next time: DEUCE!
