Gear Hopper: Well it was nice meeting you I have things to invent.
: Seeya!
Gear Hopper turns, and leaves the house to go find stuff to build a pair of rocket boosters!(4, N. Success) He manages to find enough parts to begin a rocket booster but he may have to look elsewhere for more supplies.NEW ITEM: Project - Rocket Boosters
This saddlebag contains the pieces necassary to begin building small rocket boosters. Over time Gear Hopper will construct it.
As Gear Hopper walks back to the library to meet the others he is tackled by a pink blur and it shoves a piece of paper into his mouth.
: Quick, take this! I'm running out of time!
StarshineStarshine looks around for the most recent newspaper, or failing that, heads back to the library to see if they have an archive of newspapers to look through and find out what's been going on recently in Equestria.
Unfortunately for Starshine's afternoon plans she suddenly spots a cart careening down a hill. A panicking foal is sitting in the back.Without thinking, she throws herself into the path of the wagon.(4, N. Success) With the help of her natural earth pony strength she takes the hit without being hurt. She's managed to slow the cart considerably but both her and the cart are still sliding down the hill.
Something slams into the cart beside her.
R.DASH: Jump out kid!
As the foal jumps off the back of the wagon Starshine looks over to see a cyan pegusus with an unusual rainbow mane.
R.DASH: On three, we both push.
Starshine just nods.
R.DASH: Three!
Both Starshine and Rainbow Dash push as hard as they can.(6+1, Overshoot) The cart quickly moves up the hill and hits a rock at the top. One of it's wheels is broken but everything inside is safe.R.DASH: That was impressive. You must be as strong as Applej-
: Another new pony! How many are there Dashie!? Can we keep 'em!?
MeaMea sighs, : Looks like I'm a bit rusty. Say, is there anything else I can help you with- uh, sorry, I didn't catch your name?
: How rude a' me. My name's Applejack. I live and work over at Sweet Apple Acres.
Mea's mind grasped for something that wasn't there.
: The name rings a bell.
: Any chance of you helping me with the rest of these flowers?
: I could do that.
Mea's horn glows yellow again as an aura surrounds the rest of the flowers.(3+1, N. Success) Mea looks at them in frustration as their colour returns but they refuse to grow.
: Wow. Bonbon's gonna be so happy. So-
Pinkie Pie slams into Applejack and shoves a piece of paper at Mea before galloping off like the four horses of the apocalypse were after her.
: Two more new ponies to go!
Sunset Bloom: Thanks Twilight! I think I'll go see if anypony needs help around in Ponyville, if you don't mind.
As Sunset walks out of the library door something pink leaps out of the bushes and throws a rolled up piece of paper at her.
: I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!
Sunset unrolls the paper as the pink pony runs of towards the centre of town.
Dear New Pony,
You are invited to a party at Sugarcube Corner
just after sunset. If you don't know where that
is it's near the marketplace and looks like a
gingerbread house (it's not though). Can't wait
to meet you.
Pinkie Pie
Sunset looks towards the sun and saw that there isn't much time to go until sunset. She trots down towards Sugarcube Corner via the marketplace. She arrives just in time to see the pink pony and a yellow pegusus wheel out a cannon.
FLUTTERSHY: Uh, Pinkie. Are you sure about this?
: Of course I'm sure Fluttershy. Well, I'm sure about the decoration but I'm not sure how I'm going to fire a broken cannon. I'm not even sure why everything's been broken lately.
Sunset blinks and suddenly Pinkie is in front of her.
: New pony! What's your name? Fire Mote? Fire Mark? Fire Flower?
: Sunset Bloom.
: Sunset, I really need you to fire my cannon.
Against all common sense Sunset agrees to fire the cannon.(4+1, Success) It goes off perfectly and the outside of Sugarcube Corner is covered in party decorations. Fluttershy and Sunset are stunned.: Yay! Fluttershy, you get the food while Sunset helps me move the tables outside. Ponies are already arriving.
AllAll the players (and the Mane Six) arrive within minutes of the sun setting. Even Open Book, who arrives with both Rarity and a new manecut.Twilight introduces the five new ponies to the others and they enjoy the party under Luna's beautiful night sky.
The music is good, the food great and the decorations would have been perfect if not for the large, dark shape that fell out of the sky.
It smashes the central table and sends ponies running in fear (The horror!).
"Find him!"
Four more dark shapes fall into the party and begin to turn over tables and generally making a mess. They appear to be griffons with black feathers and white coats.
: I'm going to have to ask you to leave!
The griffons ignore Pinkie Pie.
The mane six look like they're about to do something about this, you should too.
Didn't have access to internet over the weekend, sorry for the wait.
*facepalm* Forgot the new dialogue faces and the saddlebag graphic.
