Five Self-Centered Ponies
The following day, Moon Dancer walked outside for a morning walk. Twilight Sparkle and Spike, who were camping out nearby, woke up when they heard the door close. "There she is," said Twilight Sparkle. "Ok," said Spike, "So?""We just keep an eye on her," Twilight Sparkle said. However
However, Twilight Sparkle noticed five ponies walking towards Moon Dancer. "Who are those ponies?" Spike asked. "I' don't know," Twilight Sparkle answered. Moon Dancer noticed the five ponies approaching before she saw them face to face. "Excuse me," Moon Dancer said, "Can I do something for you?"
"Not really," one pony replied. "Then I must be on my way," Moon Dancer said, shoving the five ponies out of her way. "She looks tough," one pony said. "I'd rather race her," another said, "And win!" "Come on," said one pony, "Let's follow her." And the five ponies followed Moon Dancer.
Some minutes later, Moon Dancer was halfway finished with her morning chose to walk through an empty plain near Canterlot. Twilight Sparkle and Spike quietly followed her. They didn't get too close just in case Moon Dancer might notice them.
However. "Excuse me," Moon Dancer said as soon as she saw the five ponies again, "Can I do anything for you? What do you want?" "My name is Sour Sweet," one pony said, "It's so nice to meet you. Maybe!"
"Sour Sweet?" Moon Dancer repeated. "Yes," Sour Sweet said, "Remember it!" "I'm Lemon Zest!" another pony said, "Let's rock and roll!" "Sugarcoat," another said bluntly. "I'm Indigo Zap," another one said, "Let's race. So that I can win!" "And call me Sunny Flare," the last one said, "Don't forget our names!"
"So," Moon Dancer said, "Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest, Sugarcoat, Sunny Flare, and Indigo Zap. What are you doing here?" "We just wanted to see what you're up to," Sunny Flare answered. "I'm walking," Moon Dancer answered, "All right?!" "Ok," said Sugarcoat, "This is a blank, quiet place to be walking around."
"So what?" Moon Dancer asked, "I like it." "You could try a better pace," suggested Sunny Flare. "I think this place is fine," protested Moon Dancer. "Hey guess what?" Indigo Zap said. "What?" Moon Dancer asked "I'm going to race you!"
"You wouldn't," said Moon Dancer. Before Moon Dancer could say anything else, Indigo Zap said, "One, two, three, go!" With that, Indigo Zap took off, literally leaving Moon Dancer in the dust. "Look," Moon Dancer coughed, "Do you want to have a conversation with me, or do you want to show off?"
"I'd rather dance with you!" said Lemon Zest and she grabbed Moon Dancer by the front legs and started dancing to rock and roll music. "Lemon Zest lies hard rock music," said Sugarcoat, "That's her nature." "I notice that those ponies aren't being respectful to Moon Dancer," said Spike. "True, Spike," Twilight Sparkle agreed.
Finally, Moon Dancer threw Lemon Zest aside. "I'm going now!" said Moon Dancer, "Out of my way!" And Moon Dancer pushed Sunny Flare aside, knocking her down. "Argh!" Sunny Flare cried, "My mane! She ruined it." So Moon Dancer left Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest, Sugarcoat, and Sunny Flare behind.
When Moon Dancer returned to where she had started, she saw Indigo Zap there, waiting for her. "You again?" Moon Dancer asked. "I win!" Indigo Zap, "I win! I win! I win! In your face! Because I'm the winner, slowpoke!" By now, Moon Dancer is starting to get annoyed.
Soon enough, Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest, Sugarcoat, and Sunny Flare caught up to Moon Dancer. "You left us behind!" said Lemon Zest, "All I wanted to do is dance with you!" "And you're going to pay for what you did to me!" Sunny Flare shouted.
By now, Moon Dancer was starting to get annoyed. "You shouldn't have done that," said Sugarcoat. "And I'm still the winner!" Indigo Zap shouted. "All we wanted to do is-" Sour Sweet said before Moon Dancer cut her off. She'd finally had it with the five.
"Enough!" Moon Dancer shouted, "You all are a nuisance to me! Get out of my sight now and I mean it!" Immediately, she generated magic with her horn and instantly, Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest, Sugarcoat, Sunny Flare, and Indigo Zap became trapped by a magic aura.
Moon Dancer then lifted the five ponies off the ground and sent them flying through the air. They ended up in a large tree. "Good riddance!" Moon Dancer shouted and she walked away.
"Now I'm not sure if this will work," said Spike, "I don't think she would ever be friends with you now." But Twilight Sparkle stuck to her game. "I'm not giving up," Twilight Sparkle said to herself. "You're not giving up, are you?" said Spike.
In the tree, Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest, Sugarcoat, Sunny Flare, and Indigo Zap remained stuck on the branches. "My headset is broken!" Lemon Zest complained. "You're lucky it's not your neck," said Sugarcoat. "Well, I think it went well," said Sour Sweet, "No it didn't!"
"Maybe we should have tried something else," said Sunny Flare, "After all, my mane is ruined!" "How about racing?" suggested Indigo Zap, "Bet I could beat you!" "Oh, shut up, Indigo Zap!" said Sunny Flare. "You're a bragger," said Sugarcoat. "I Can't help it," said Indigo Zap.
