MudBug

Celestia patiently watched her sister for a moment, watching the heat flush over the filly's face until it welled up further and further, only to come as an outburst that caused the princess to blink in faint suprise at the other. She let this new knowledge sink in before a worried expression softly worked over the white mare's face and she took a few soft steps forward and rested her muzzle against Luna's in some attempt to calm her younger sister. "Shhh shh Luna, Luna be calm...it will be alright....I'll help you, I promise I will."

Once the other's mouth was opened, she had barely expected the musical trill to come from it and blinked in faint surprise. Just watching the pink pony for a moment before a soft chuckle escaped her, she was used to ponies normally clamping their mouths shut or trying to talk with the mouth gawked open. But this was certainly new. "Are you sure you're not an opera pony, miss Pie?" The minty colored pony teased almost playfully as one of the miniature toothpaste tube's opened up with a soft sparkle of the unicorn's magic. It was soon squeezed and a dab of odd looking blue gel floated through the air and began to rub itself along Pinkie's gums. The side of the mouth where she'd pointed out the problem tooth. It barely took a moment to work, soon the side of the mouth felt cool and numbed...but the taste...bubblegum! She'd chosen bubblegum flavoured gel! Well, it was the biggest sweet tooth in Ponyville, might aswell've chosen a sweet numbing gel. "Okie dokie! Let's see about this tooth!" Soon the mirror and pick gently floated in as Spearmint went about her work. "I need you to try and keep your mouth open, alright? Don't want you to hurt your teeth more on these metal instruments."

Preparing her items that stood by the pony like floating miniature soldiers, ready to do their work, the pink pony's words caught her briefly offguard before she turned her head slightly. Eyes smiling where her muzzle was covered and moved across the room to pick up two funny looking items that looked like miniature toothpaste tubes. Why hadn't she gone to parties? Well...one reason was that they were so chaotic and anything out of place made her feel slightly...tetchy...like she wanted to straighten it up and fix it, which made her very akward at social events when she spent half the time trying to straighten things in the hallway or get the last spot of muck off a plate. But for the sake of politeness she explained herself. "Well I'm not always the partier and with a whole surgery to tend to aswell as my little nephew, my timetable gets a little busy during the day." Raising her hooves to the sink, they were washed and soon two little paper hoof gloves soon covered them. "I don't think I've really been in the Sugarcube Corner since I was a filly, but I do hear a lot of good things from it, aswell as some nice things from my nephew who likes buying some blue taffy twists from there now and then." Finally moving over to where Pinkie sat, she smiled behind her mask and brought the little mirror on a stick floating to her side. "Now then, I'm going to need you to open your mouth and say 'ahh' for me."

When she was hugged, she winced a little bit. He was uhh...really friendly. Which was good, she guessed, a little fanboyish sure but then again she'd been overly casual with the Wonderbolts once between intermitant squealings. Offering a faint smile she trotted slightly to the side and looked over his wings, it wouldn't be easy with...well...his wing like...THAT. But bigger miracles had happened when it came to flying. She would've loved the opportunity that was offered up to him, that was true and she hid that bubbling envy rather well beneath her confident exterior as she settled down and looked over him. "Alright, first off, let's see what you've got."

Eyeing the strange earth pony and then the pegasi, Bluebelle felt a little at wits end. What in the name of Celestia was going on- Then the earth pony ran! And suggested they would too, now why in the world would they- A faint sound made one large ear flop up as she turned and looked at the floating cacti that were coming in their direction...wait. What? Floating cacti?? So did that mean the stories were true? Eyes widening slightly at the sight Bluebelle could do nothing but stare in faint disbelief at just what she was seeing. Floating Cacti. -GHOST- Cacti. She would've run but her legs had locked slightly and she found herself a tad frozen...until Willow suddenly moved towards them. She blinked herself out of her stupor and gawked at the unicorn. "Miss Wisp! Be careful!" Watching on fearfully for the unicorn, she soon watched as some of the cacti fell to reveal tiny little balls of fire that floated around Willow like moths would dance around an open flame and she mentally commended the filly on her bravery. That however was short lived as she ran towards the entrance to the tunnel and began to dodge most of the thorns. What was she doing!? She was going to get hurt or worse! Eyes widening she called after the dark pelted filly, concern ringing through that southern trill. "Miss Wisp! Don' go bein' stupidly brav-!" She was hit! The mule saw it and let out a soft gasp as her hooves danced fretfully in place. What were those thorns doing to her? Her back leg looked like a watermelon losing its color! Oh what could she do? What could she do? She didn-...wait! Blinking she suddenly moved to stick her nose into Braeburn's saddle bag, he said he'd prepared! Oh please, please, please let one be there! Soon she took out a waterskin and beamed at her find as she ran as best as her long legs could to the hurt unicorn. As she did, the cacti tried to catch her off with her thorns, claim another victim, but being as skittish as she was and with those huge ears she heard and ducked the onslaught of sharp pricks till she met skidded to a halt next to the darker filly. Glancing at the floating balls of thorns that floated ever closer she tossed the waterskin to her right, watching it smack one cacti and split open with the thorns as it landed a good seven or eight feet away. Water splashing everywhere over said cacti and the sand as soon it's brethren swarmed to suck up the liquid like pidgeons over breadcrumbs. Okay. That worked. She was so THANKFUL that worked! Okay, steady your breathing, Belle, steady it. Looking over Willow she soon looked over her shoulder to where the others were. "Come on! Let's get 'er away from here!"

The fact her sister almost seemed a little eager aswell as reluctant to push her away from the studying, made Celestia just the tiniest bit curious and concerned. She knew her sister could hate her still...she was in every right too...but it seemed like she still wanted Celestia to stay. Something wasn't right... Perking a brow she trotted a little closer to her younger sibling, looking over her with a faintly concerned expression. "Is everything alright....?"

The apprahension in the pink pony's smile made her own smile a little more understanding, she'd seen that look so many times she knew it wouldn't be the last and despite that it just continued to amuse her. She herself didn't see the fear in what she did, but then again, she loved oral hygiene. Nodding to the aknowledgement of her name, she watched herself being directed to the tooth in question that was the problem and perked a brow. Hurting for a few days. Hmm... "I see..." She muttered inbetween Pinkie's words before offering a small smile. "Well we'll only see what the problem is when we have a proper look, come this way, please." Motioning to the back room she made her way through the door, horn already set aglow as on the far table from the patient's chair, a small mask flew from it and affixed itself to Spearmint's muzzle. Tieing itself up in a fanciful little string bow at the back before she motioned Pinkie to the seat. "Please make yourself comfortable." The unicorn said behind the thin paper mask as her hooves clopped happily against the smooth white floor, horn still glowing as a few more instruments flew to her side, like a tiny mirrior and a small pick.

A fan? Perking a brow Rainbow Dash simply sat there and listened to Tobias' tale all the way through as he wove it along. Feeling a tiny bit envious of his days with the Wonderbolts, dangit she'd have loved for that opportunity, to be picked out for the Wonderbolts so early on...then the tale took a slight turn and her envy quickly dipped into a sympathetic wince as she watched him and looked over his wing once more. A hydra did that? Ouch. Getting it torn or sprained was one thing...but a hydra bite...that was awful. Watching the other pony curiously, she heard him through to the very end and felt a little at ends at what to do when she saw the tears coming. Oh jeez she wasn't good with handling tears. Races, sure. Boastful ponies, easy...mostly. Tears were far out of her jurisdiction and her ears splayed slightly as she watched him, a small unsure noise escaping her before she raised a hoof to tentatively pat the other's shoulder. Trying to offer the most comforting smile she could for someone she barely knew. "Uhh...oh jeez, don't cry for Celestia's sake...if it means that much to you I'll help you out best I can."

A pony with a stupid cape and monologuing? Peering oddly at Tenderbloom for a moment he shared a brief look with Malediction that said 'Is she for real?' before moving to sit himself down in the corner somewhere whilst he sorted out his little rambling gear. Scarf in one satchel bag...cupcakes and such in the other one...and he could use the stick for warding off monsters. Easily. Glancing down at all the items he had, he peered up at Malediction as she spoke again, ears flattened back further in his attempt to look uninterested and or tough but it briefly wavered at the sight of the missing eye. Jeez...that looked terrible. He had to stare for a very long time before shaking his head and going back to organising his stuff. He wasn't a moron. They were moron's. Nor was he a pipsqueak and he snorted with a faint sneer as he held his head up high. "Yeah! Well, they don't call me Champ for nothin'! This stupid forest'll practically step aside for me!" And that was that, with a soft snort he sat back down and sorted through his things. As the pegasus went on about her friend, the losing the family part kind of made him snort under his breath, touching his rambling sack that was slightly squared off with the picture frame poking slightly at the insides of the fabric. Yeah...well...losing family was tough. Y'had to get....get used to it...and...a-and be strong. Swallowing hard he looked to the tray on the stump and moved to take one off it. It was cold. What a jip. Oh well, it was food.

Gasp! There was the door! And a voice! Her first patient of the day! Eeeeee! She could've practically danced on the spot! Now, nooooow, Spearmint, get a hold of yourself old girl, you needed to be proffesional about this, cleaning teeth is a job not JUST a joy! Practically having to dumb down the wattage of her smile, she cleared her throat and moved out from the surgery and to the main reception area. Her little greeting welcome practically chiming from her with a well practiced ring. "Welcome to the Pearly White Dentist Surgery! Aiming to put a smile on your face, how may I help---....you?" The 'you' was more a suprised questioning, she never would've thought in her wildest dreams she'd see the sugar queen herself in her own surgery. With how much teeth rotting gunk she gobbled down, Spearmint thought she'd avoid this place like the pony pox! But apparently she was wrong... Getting over the initial shock, the mare rose her eyebrows and offered a genuinely suprised and cheerful smile to the pink pony whom she could tell at first glance was feeling perhaps a tad nervous. After seeing so many of the same disposition, she'd gotten the habit of telling when ponies were a little...apprahensive of being here. "Well, bless my stars, I never thought I'd see Ponyville's own party pony in my little surgery." She started with a soft, good natured chuckle. "What seems to be the problem, Miss Pie?"

The Travelling Players? That sounded so fun! A small smile beamed on his tiny face at the thought of seeing a play...and then an after party? At Sugar-Cube corner none the less! It made the little foal give out a soft whinny of excitement. This was turning out to be a great day! Especially when the show and tell was mentioned, he almost immediately knew what he'd be showing! His daddy's helmet! Was there anything better? His daddy had told him that he used to wear it all the time when he was Starlight's age...or...atleast a little bigger, he'd modified it to match the size of the foal's head and he thanked his father for that much. Oh his mind was reeling with so many ideas! He could tell them about his daddy's job and his mommy's job and how his daddy found his cutie mark in moving around the aurora borealis! This was gonna be so exciting! And the fact they were going to get entertained AND have some treats at a party afterwards! He couldn't wait. In the back of his mind he hoped that his dear aunt wouldn't mind him snacking on sweets....hey...he'd forgotten his aunt. A small thoughtful frown went through him as he thought... But despite that, he waved a hoof in the air excitably. "I wanna go too! It's gonna be the bestest day ever!"

Her sister's worry made her smile, she didn't like making her sister so worried over her actions because of....well....past times. Looking over the book as she settled it down on the stand, a small, thoughtful noise escaped her. This was a very old book, perhaps a little too complicated for someone just fresh returned to magic though and with a soft flash, a few books soon flew from the shelves to rest upon the table the other book's stand was rested near. A few simpler books. A few more older and linguistic books aswell. "Well if you want, we could study together? These dusty old tomes can get a little boring by yourself."

That was...akward. Blinking her large and slightly suprised eyes at the 'doctor' once more she looked to her sister whilst her mind went on thinking. Could he have been....no. He'd have passed on by now, surely. There was simply no way in....mind you... As he went on about how they still remained uptop, the Princess felt compelled with her gut feeling to trust the pony and glanced to the two guards still looking rather fierce with both their beloved princesses in their stead and a strange pony here, a simply nod however eased them both and Celestia delicately nudged her sister's cheek in a soft, affectionate gesture as she moved to a door leading into the castle. If the colt was correct, something would be going terribly wrong...and besides...there was an odd feeling of familiarity to the young stallion. Perhaps how in detail he went on about her younger sister, or aknowledging she indeed wandered into the bowels of the castle long ago...she never had ventured there in a long, long time since her livelihood. And to this day, something made her wary of going down still. But why? Looking to their guest, she offered a small smile and a nod for him to follow and for Luna to follow, she wanted to keep an eye on her sister incase anything was found...and it was dangerous. That protective instinct running very fiercely through her.

"Aaaaaall the time." She replied with a small sympathetic smile aimed at Strawberry as she whispered back to the pony, watching Pinkie's interaction with a subdued humor even if it brightened her smile ver so slightly. Pinkie was always the life of the party and could brighten up any dull afternoon...if you had the patience and it seemed patience must've been thrust upon Rainbow this afternoon with the ammount of ponies that were around. Bumping into her or even falling from the sky. Glancing back to the petite pegasus again, she plinked her magenta eyes curiously at her as she flew up to meet with her and gave the miniature pony an odd look as she mentioned her sleeping on cirrus clouds. Cirrus? Seriously? They weren't bouyant enough for a pony to sleep on, yeah maybe more ACTIVE pony's...but really...who'd WANT to sleep on them? Restraining herself from answering anything she let Pinkie do most of the talking whilst she hovered. The conversation then took a turn that...went a little over Rainbow's head. Art? Art was slow and didn't move, it didn't really have a purpose in Dash's mind other than stay there and look pretty like some painted pony. So floating there she gave a very slight if appologetic shrug to Cat. "Art aint really my thing, sorry..."

Rainbow's ego perked its huge head up when her accomplishment at the young flyer's was mentioned, a smile split from ear to ear as she was practically cantering in mid air with a showgirl flair whilst she spoke. Wings fluttering away happily at their owners own joy that bubbled happily in the pit of her stomache. To be mentioned, to be spoken of as a legend, it made the boastful pony so cheerful to know she'd done well and had done well by doing exactly what she loved. Flying. "Well!" She started, bringing a hoof to her chest with that grin still in place. "From a pegasus like myself, y'just can't expect nothing BUT the finest!" Okay that may have been a bit too much. She won out of luck, if she hadn't hit the barrier, Rarity and the 'bolts would've been...well...it didn't matter. She HAD gone fast enough. And she HAD gotten to them in time and THAT is what mattered. Still fluttering infront of the pair, she listened to their conversation and briefly glanced upwards. Yeah, stars were nice, not that interesting though...just...staying there. Motionless. Doing nothing for the majority of the time. Now SHOOTING STARS. -THEY- were awesome! She'd always wanted to race a shooting star, it was on her list of awesome things she wanted to do in her life.

Blinking at the weird pegasi, she sat herself down beside the pony and watched him closely as he spoke...he'd heard of her? Well, that was to be expected, ofcourse, hiding her smirk the best she could however she listened on and blinked. Teach him to fly? Perking a brow questioningly she looked over the outstretched wing and winced, self conciously clinging her wings to her body, she'd have hated anything happening to her own little wind slicers. Her babies. At the story part, she winced a little. She had to sit still? Oh man. But if it would help this guy out...she couldn't see the harm in it, right? "Uhh...sure...why not? I got time to kill." Looking to him again she offered a small, patient smile. "Lay it on me."

Blinking at her little sister's worry, she smiled ever so faintly and nudged her sister's cheek with an affectionate air to her movements as she eye'd over the younger mare. Glancing briefly to the slightly reddened imprint the book had left, Celestia could only smirk in faint amusement at the shape. Celestia the book pelted princess. Smiling to Luna she hushed her in gentle reassurance. "Luna, Luna, I'm fine, don't worry little sister...a book can't hurt me that much and it was an accident." Glancing to the book, she eye'd over the title and grimaced ever so slightly, oh dear, not that one. That one was a corker...looking to Luna she smiled softly. "So...how's the study going?"

Help? Her mind was crying out 'YES', despite her love for the foals, she only had so many hooves to take care of the little darlings and she did enjoy her work fully...it was just a little bit overwhelming with her condition and the fact there were just so many in today. Who'd have thought so many pony' had to work today? Or that they'd have little ones? A faintly embarassed blush traced its way over her features as he mentioned her condition and tenderly touched her belly with one hoof, she could barely forget her condition. Her second little treasure on the way. Smiling she looked up to the earth pony and a small smile came to her features. "Well...it is nearly snack time, I could use the help with my business partner working at somepony's house." She said, taking two coins out of her purse before offering them to him with one hoof. "But I wouldn't want you to be held up from anything you're busy for..."

MudBug - At the Gala, I'm so nervous! Who'd have thought you'd ever seeeeee~ Such a party, with such grandeur! And invited to it? ME! For once I'll try to keep my hooves clean, at the Gala! Spearmint - At the Gala, I can see it! It brings a smile right to my face! Not a crumb, not a smudge, not splotch, not a splat, not a THING out of its place! There shan't be any dirt, not a trace, at the Gala! Desert Rose - (To Dash's tempo) Anticipating whilst been plotting, So many ways to just get in! Imagine all those shiny bits, Glinting like the desert sand! It's time to get down to our work, Come on boys, let's hide that smirk! We've still got to find our way in to the Gala!

Wrong way? What did she mean, wrong way? A slight look of frustration he followed up the ramp after the pegasus and glare at the pair of them as he scuffed his hoof against the ramp with a faint grumble that rumbled through his tiny chest, coming out a little more high pitched than he'd wanted it too. Stupid voice. Snorting he moved between the two mares, making sure he atleast had two safety barriers whilst he curiously glanced over the home. And that weird thing on the pegasi's back. That thing was a baby? It screeched so loud. He pouted at the loud and ugly plant with a faintly subdued nicker whilst he found the entrance after Tenderbloom. "Hrmph...great...I know my own way home thank you, I'll find it eventually."

Fully finished now after some added notes.

Taking the usual speedy way across the sky, Dash enjoyed the cool, yet soft touch of the wind whistling against her ears as she tore through the airspace like a multicolored missile and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. The rush of adrenaline that coursed through her bloodstream and her heart beating a mile a minute. All of a sudden there was a new noise entering the air space and she halted, what was that? Blinking down at the fields, she saw a pony trying to get into the air by the look of things, but he was having trouble... Arching a quizzical brow, she zoomed down and landed next to him with a soft blink. Eyeing over the pony in faint confusion and curiousity as her ears swivelled forward and she watched him closely. "Uhh...you okay, pal?"

The princess wondered how her younger sibling was doing, she had suggested the library but wondered if Luna had kept to her words and made the small trek to the room with its insurpassable amount of books and knowledge. It certainly would help her with her magic , that was a certainty, she just hoped her sister had the patience for it...because she herself never did when it came to the books. Entering the library, she was a bit suprised when something deftly connected with her chest, feeling the weight of it, she assumed it to be a book and gently raised a hoof to rub the spot where it'd connected. Those books still smarted a lot, even now...but what in Equestria- Blinking at her sister and the book now laying on the floor, she rose it from the ground with her powers and moved towards the night sky colored filly with a small smile on her muzzle. "Having a hard time, huh?" She asked knowingly, a sympathetic expression on the older sister's face. She'd hated studying so much, it was so drawn out and boring and she...well...she'd have preffered being out and about.
