Vacation is Elation, Chapter 3
Muleicious returns with chapter 3 of Vacation is Elation!
Enjoy!
Well, here we are. Chapter three... And I still think this is a good story. Super Big Mac himself said (in the comments for my riff of Chapter one) that this story was a bit rushed because he was writing it for the February Write Off contest. Personally, I think It’s an OK story, but then again I haven't read the fourth chapter. I’m still expecting this to become a clop fic where Twilight turns into an alicorn and Daring Doo turns out to be Discord in a costume (which would make this fic too awesome to really hate). So, without further ado, Chapter three!
Muleicious: Hey Twi?
Twilight: (trying to use an unlocking spell on the door) Yes Muleicious? Can’t you see I’m busy?
Mule: How long have we been in here?
Twilight: (stops trying to unlock the door) I have no idea. Rarity, how long have we been in here?
Rarity: (checks the date on the computer screen) A few wee-
Pinkie: (popping up on the screen and scaring the apples out of Rarity, causing her to faint) Hey guys! I missed you! How was your vacation?
Mule: Vacation?!?! We’ve been locked in here for weeks! Rarity just had a heart attack, and I’m pretty sure that you’re just going to push us right into the story anyway!
Pinkie: (giggles) Yep, have fun!
*BEEP*
All: We’ve got story sign!
"What. The. Hay!" Dash couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Twilight: “Scootaloo can fly? Yeah right.”
"Not possible..." Twilight couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Mule: I know, Super Big Mac didn’t put an alliteration for my investigation.
Rarity: (sitting up and brushing off her coat) If you continue to rhyme, I’ll be forced to beat the buck out of you darling.
Pinkie seemed to deflate,
Mule: Somepony stuck her with a pin
her eyes filling with tears. "I knew I should have listened to my Sense..."
The cavern echoed with the laughter of a group of nine ponies... each looking almost exactly like those within the cage.
The laughter continued. "Oh, my sweet little look-alike.
Mule: New idea for a show- My Little Look-alike: Copies are Mystical.
Did you think that your group was the first to come here?" Daring Do trotted up to the cage, her rosy eyes filled with
Twilight: A delicious jelly center
racuous and malicious joy. "We've had other groups come before, seeking adventure. Whether they came looking for us, or got here by accident wasn't what made them so infuriatingly fun to toy with, though."
Rarity: It was the fact that they will never be mentioned again
Her eyes still full of glee, she gestures to a distant wall.
Covering the wall was a collection of pelts of differing colors.The only similarities between them were...
"Yes, I can see it in your eyes. All share the same cutiemarks, and all look like yours."
Mule: Wait up! I though each pony was supposed to have their own special talent.
Twilight: Yeah, so?
Mule: So?! SO!!!!???? From that last sentence, it seems like there are ponies that have the same bucking talent as other ponies. Isn’t that kind of... What’s the word I’m looking for?
Twilight: Lazy?
Rarity: Convenient?
Spike:(from TV) Just plain creepy?
Her mouth split in a psychotic grin,
Rarity: That sounds painful
she began to cackle, and the others in her group did so as well as they gathered around the cage.
Applebloom whimpered. "What're you gonna do to us?"
Mule: Where have I heard that before?
Her twin smiled sweetly. "Don't worry, Applebloom. We'll save you for later. After all, we need you to find your talents, first."
Twilight: Ten bits it has something to do with apples.
The three faux-crusaders laughed, their eyes filled with blood lust.
Sweetie Belle whimpered, tears trickling down her face as she pressed against her sister. "I just want to go home..."
Rainbow Dash was still cradling Scootaloo's
Mule: Morph ball
form. She hadn't woken up yet, and... dammit, she was worried! The young pegasus' breathing was deep, but shaky. Dash turned to Twilight. "Please, Twi. Please tell me that you can magic Scoots outta here. I don't care if they take me, but..." She choked,
Rarity: Dash dear, I told you not to eat so fast.
trying not to sob as her eyes filled with tears. "I... she..."
Twilight wrapped her forelegs around her cyan coated friend. "I'm sorry, Dash, but...
Twilight: Super Big Mac wont let me.
this cage is made out of something that blocks magic. I've already tried, but... I just can't." She sniffed. Mumbling, almost to herself, she added "I hope Spike's doing okay..."
Spike's head hurt.
Rarity: I’ll take that as a ‘no, Spike’s not ok.’
"Owww... Darn it, where am I?"
Twilight: In a rushed fan fic! If you run you may still have a chance!
He looked around, seeing that he was still in the Crusader camp, but... upside-down.
"Oh, come on! with a burst of flame, he burnt through the rope and fwump. "Oww..."
Mule: Wa wa waa
Pulling his head out of the ground, he began to search around the camp for something to eat. Coming across a small, half eaten sandwich stuffed into a container labeled 'Slam'
Twilight: As opposed to ‘Crunch’ or ‘Pow’?
Mule: I’ve always been partial to a ‘Biff’ sandwhich
, as well as a box of apple juice, he let out a small 'phew!' and began to eat. A fake-meat sandwich had never tasted so delicious.
Rarity: Spike...eats meat?! (faints)
Fweew....woooow.......woooooow.......woooowwooowwooowwoowwooww Screeeeeeeeeeeeetchk!
Mule: ok... I’ve used the ‘Goofy Yell’ and the ‘Wa wa wa’... I think I’m out of funny sound effects.
Rarity and Twilight: YAY!
"Careful, Skates!"
Twilight: If it weren’t for the fact that his name’s Skaterate, I would’ve thought that sentence was missing a few words.
Rarity: Twilight, nopony remembers their names. They’re the Cutie Mark Crusaders doppelgangers.
Mule: That would be an interesting Cutie Mark. Cutie mark Crusaders! Doppelgangers!!
"Shaddup! I know what I'm doing! Don't tell me how to drive!"
The Cryptic Crusaders were looking for
Mule: The Ace of
Spades. They were gonna kill him now, and be done with it.
All they needed to do was find him.
Rarity: So wait... Are they going after Spike or this Spades dragon?
Mule: Nobody knows.
Spike walked through the jungle, sipping slowly from his juice box. "There's something wrong with these ponies,"
All: *Facepalm/hoof* Really?
he mused. "It's like they're are twins, or something. But that's silly. Everypony knows that the only time you find a twin is if they're e-" He dropped his juice box, the last bit of it dribbling onto the ground. "Evil. Evil.
Mule: Never thought I'd find a place to use this one
Oh, no! These ponies are evil! Which means... They're gonna kill everypony!"
Twilight: That’s not true... You’re not a pony and they want to kill you.
Running as fast as his little legs could carry him, Spike ran further into the thicket. "I'm coming, Twilight!
Rarity: (shutters) It’s not a clop fic... It’s not a clop fic...
I just need a plan." As he ran, he pulled two items out from in between the spines on his back, where he always kept them. Finally finding a clearing, Spike crouched over a rock.
Dear Princess Celestia,
This is Spike, and we're in deep trouble.
Twilight: The animals here don’t want to love Fluttershy, and she’s going off the deep end again. Please send help... And diamonds.
"Aha! We got 'im!" Skates moved to the side to show his two friends their prey.
Mule: Wait... I thought it was Apple Bloom’s double that spoke like that.
Rarity: How rushed was this?
In a small clearing, a small purple dragon was curled up, most likely sleeping. "Let's make this quick. Don't want ta miss out on breakfast."
Mule: We’re having fava beans, with liver and a nice chianti.
The three edged closer to the still form. Closer... closer... snap! "Woah!"
Twilight: Dear sweet Celestia, that dragon can snap his fingers!
The three foals found themselves dangling from a tree, their hindlegs tied together.
"Heh, pretty good, right? Thanks for making so much noise, guys. Almost woulda missed ya." The dragon was lying below them, stretching. "Great nap, that was.
Rarity: When did Spike speak like a Canterlot gentleman?
Now. Where are they?"
Mule:(doing his best Harrison Ford impression) I want my family back! Where’s my family? I want my family back!
"We ain't gonna tell yous nothin', ya cretin!"
Spike chuckled. "You're making me do something I'm gonna regret."
Twilight: I swear I’ll get Twist here, I mean it!
"Oh yeah? Ah don't care. We ain't talkin'."
"Okay, but I warned ya." Spike takes a deep breath, but instead of his normal, magical fire, he breathes out a stream of liquid fire, setting the grass beneath the faux-crusaders aflame.
Mule: Spike Dragon is The Punisher
"Ahhhh!" The three foals screamed in fright, their eyes widening at the sight of the fire.
Spike begins to toss branches onto the fire, keeping it nice and big. "Now." Toss. Fwoom. "Where are they?" Toss. Fwoom.
Rarity: Why do I have a feeling Toss.Fwoom. is going replace the author stating who’s talking here?
Mule:The magic of friendship? I don’t know.
Skates gulped, sweat pouring profusely down his face.
Twilight: It’s just pouring sweat outside, I’ll bring my coat.
Toss. Fwoom.
"Um. Um. They-" Toss. Fwoom. "Th-they're at the Shrine!"
Mule: of the Silver Monkey! Let’s just hope they don’t put the head on backwards.
Spike raised an eybrow.
Rarity: from birth, he named it Horatio.
"Really, now?" Toss. Fwoom. "How do I get there?" Toss. Fwoom.
"B-by the waterfall! There's an entrance that doesn't seal when you go in! M-most seal for decades b-before they're reusable!
Twilight: Why?
The Waterfall's how we get in and out if we don't use the c-carts." Spike watched the fire die down a little before tossing the next stick.
"Is the waterfall close by?" Toss. Fwoom.
"Y-yes, it's up the mountain, but it's a mite closer than goin' to the beginning of the cart run."
Spike smiled. "Thanks, Blossom.
Mule: “You were always my favorite PowerPuff Girl.”
You've been rather nice. I'll let you go. Save your friends or run away, I don't care. I gotta fly." Throwing a burning stick up at the rope holding the farm-filly faker
Twilight: Say that five times fast.
, He leapt into the air, caught her, and set her down on the ground. "Hasta luego, filly!"
Rarity: I thought all of the Cryptic Crusaders were boys.
Mule: Apparently not. I sense a Skaterate/Apple Blossom clop.
Celestia couldn't enjoy the breeze as the ocean swept by beneath her.
Twilight: Mostly because she was inside.
The water dragon- Steve something -was doing an amazing job at pulling her personal yacht.
Mule: All the power in Equestria, and she makes Steve Magnum pull her boat. The memes are right, she is a troll.
The airship bobbed above the water, almost weightless due to the magic she was pouring into it to counter its weight without creating a zero-G effect. She just hoped that they would be in time.
Rarity: She wanted a front row seat to the hoofball game against Trottingham.
Luna walked up to her sister, adjusting the Royal armor she wore once again. "I'm sorry, sister, but I must ask once again. Why is this armor necessary?"
Mule: “And doth it make my plot look enlarged?”
Luna: (slaps Mule with her magic)
Mule: (holds his cheek) I’ll never wash this cheek again...
Celestia could see that Luna was only asking to help her keep away from any black thoughts.
Rarity: Like how her favorite colored jelly bean was black.
Twilight: Or the title of her favorite book The Adventures of Black Buck Jolly.
Mule: Or that awkward goth phase she went through.
"It is necessary, my dear Luna, so that we are not to terribly wounded during a fight that we cannot do our duties for Equestria."
Mule: What does Celestia do as the Ruler of Equestria?
Twilight: Well she...um... Uh... I’ll get back to you on that.
Luna's eyes softened as she saw that her sister would be okay for now. "Of course, 'Ti- ah, sister."
Celestia smiled.
Mule: She just remembered a hilarious joke about bananas and the moon.
Her eyes were still full of worry, but she could hope. Spike was smart. He could get in. He could save them.
Rarity: He could make full sentences.
She was just going to be back up.
She just hoped Spike, Twilight and the others would be alive to receive their back up.
Mule: They weren’t. The End.
Pinkie, Rainbow, Twilight, and rarity: Hey!
Mule: Sorry... So Pinkie, where were you all this time?
Pinkie: (from TV)Oh... (giggles nervously) I might’ve completely forgotten about this prank.
All: WHAT?!
Pinkie:(speaking extremely fast) Oh well, next weeks the last part. Dash, the button!
*BUZZ*
All: Break sign.
Enjoy!
