Chapter 22

Last time we left our friends, they were following Raveon's out of control crazy horn.

Raveon: "Somebody stop this damn crazy thing!"

Avery: "Wait Raveon! Where are you going?!"

Raveon: "I don't know! Ask my horn!"

Jasper: "Is something wrong with your friend?"

Avery: "I don't know!"

Raveon: "HELP! Rarity said when she was a little girl that she had a problem with her horn when it did this for the first time! I UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE MEANT!"

After a few more feet, Raveon stop at a stand. When he looked, he a whole variety of gems, jewels, diamonds, and pearls. Avery and Jasper finally caught up with Raveon and they saw how his eyes are sparkling. Their eyes were doing the same thing. The salespony found that very disturbing.

Gems Salespony: "Uh…can I help you?"

Raveon: "Uh yeah sorry. We would like one of each of those so we can trade them to get my friend's stuff back from Diamond Dogs."

Avery: "How much can we give you?"

Gems Salespony: "550 bits."

Raveon, Avery, and Jasper: "Sweet Celestia!"

Raveon: "We don't got that kind of money!"

Gems Salespony: "Well I guess we're done here."

Avery: "Now what do we do?"

Jasper: "Excuse me sir. How about we give you something in exchange for some of your gems?"

Gems Salespony: "Well…"

Raveon: "There has to be something you want."

Gems Salespony: "Okay there is this one thing I want from that stand over there behind you."

Avery: "What? Tell us please."

Gems Salespony: "I would like one of those crystal vases to add a little light with my gems."

Raveon: "I think we can do that. Right guys?"

Avery and Jasper: "Right."

Raveon: "We will be right back with a crystal vase for you sir."

Gems Salespony: "Thank you. Good luck."

And so, Raveon, Avery, and Jasper headed to another stand where a crystal pony was selling antique Crystal Empire crystal vase.

Vase Salespony: "Would you like a crystal vase? Straight from the Crystal Empire."

Raveon: "Yeah. We would like one crystal vase so we can trade it for some gems so we can trade it to get our friend's stuff back."

Avery: "Is there anything you want in exchange?

Vase Salespony: "I would like a Daring Do book from the book exchange, but I have nothing to give. I don't have any books, but I really love just one of A.K Yearling's greatest novels. Any one will do. Get me a book and I will get you a vase."

Jasper: "You got yourself a deal."

Avery: "Yes! Let's go!"

Raveon and friends then head over to a stand where an earth pony was selling some graphic novels, junior novels and some best selling ones.

Book Salespony: "Wanna buy a book?"

Raveon: "Yes mam. We would like a book so we can trade it for a vase so we can trade for some gems and then trade to get my friend's stuff back from some Diamond Dogs."

Book Salespony: "Do you have something I want?"

Jasper: "I don't think we have anything."

Book Salespony: "Well I guess we don't have business."

Jasper: (sad sigh)

Raveon: "What is it that you want exactly?"

Book Salespony: "I would like a Discord lamp."

Raveon: "You want a Discord lamp?"

Book Salespony: "Yes. To read books."

Avery: "Okay. Let's go find a lamp."

Raveon: (getting annoyed) "Yay…"

After further down, the trio finally found a Pegasus pony that sells lamps. Even Discord lamps.

Raveon: "Excuse me sir. We would like a Discord lamp to trade it for a book to trade it for a vase so we can trade it for some gems so we can trade it to get my friend's stuff from the Diamond Dogs."

Lamp Salespony: (sighs)

Avery: "Are you okay?"

Lamp Salespony: "I'm sorry. I just very lonely."

Raveon: "Lonely huh?"

Lamp Salespony: "I would like one of those weird creatures as a pet."

Avery: "They sell pets at this exchange?"

Jasper: "Yeah. Over there."

Raveon and Avery look and saw a three headed puppy with scary red eyes biting the tail off a unicorn who was selling the creatures.

Raveon: (raised an eyebrow) "You want a three headed dog?"

Lamp Salespony: "Oh dear no. I would love a pet phoenix."

Avery: "A phoenix?"

Raveon: "Yeah. A phoenix is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. With the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes. Some sources say that the phoenix dies in a show of flames and combustion, although there are other sources that say that the legendary bird dies and simply decomposes before being born again."

Lamp Salespony: "Also, the princess has a pet phoenix."

Avery: "Princess Celestia has a pet phoenix?!"

Raveon: "Phoenix does represent the sun after all. No wonder."

Lamp Salepony: "But it will probably be too late."

Jasper: "What do you mean?"

Lamp Salespony: "The trade exchange will be over at sunset."

Raveon, Avery, and Jasper: "WHHAAAAAAT?!"

Avery: "That's 1 hour from now!"

Raveon: "We are so screwed."

Jasper: "I'll never get my stuff back."

Raveon, Avery, and Jasper are in a tight spot. How are they gonna get outta this mess? Find out in Chapter 23.
