House of Pony Season 2 Episode 18 part 1

Thanks to the good reviews of Azure Phoenix, Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry, more folks came in to visit the House of Pony that Twilight and her friends are happy to give out. The Dazzlings didn't give out any further trouble, since Sonata is happily innocent and Adagio and Aria paid off their bill, but chose to stay away from the show for a while.

The gang, now back to their original selves, continue on with the club activities. Thanks to the club running so well, Twilight and her friends decided that it's time to do a show related to special themes in hopes to attract more customers to the House of Pony. Lance Justicestrike, who is taking Shining Armor's place as car valet while he is busy with his duties in the Crystal Empire, suggested that the first theme be cars.

The idea was approved as it was run with for this show. And trust me, folks, it was a doozy especially when the P.M. version of Shadow Dragon was taking Pinkie Pie's place as waitress while she was throwing a big party that night...

---------------

Spike grins as he spoke to the audience, "Mares and gentle-colts, start your engines for...TWILIGHT SPARKLE!

The audience applauds as Twilight arrives on stage. She exclaims, "Good evening, ponies and everything else! Since Spike references cars, how about the car parking valet, huh? He's the one pony I know who doesn't own a car or has a ride, but still drive the hippiest wheels in town. Taking the place of my brother while Shining Armor is working on his job as Prince of the Crystal Empire is my nephew from the P.M. world Lance Justicestrike! So let's take a look!"

In the backstage, Ben spoke to Applejack via his headset, "Applejack, out it on my nephew."

"Roger 'dat!" Applejack exclaims as she presses a button to turn on the camera for outside the club.

The screen now shows Lance Justicestrike at the entrance doing Shining's job while he's out. The mare calls out, "Hey, Lance!"

"Hey, my stepmom's TUPGVerse Version!" Lance exclaims, waving to the TUPGVerse Version of his step-mom.

"Care to introduce any cars to us?"

Lance smiles as he motions to someone coming in on Grimlock from Transformers. As the rider got off, Lance smiled as he comments, "Now that's what I call a 'Dino Ride'. Did you know that the G1 or any animated series never gave the idea of a robot riding a Dino robot? Coz it never happen before Michael Bay gave the crazy but best idea! Isn't that right, Grimlock from the Movie?"

Grimlock transformed from his Cybertronian T-Rex into his robot mode. He roared wildly before entered the House of Pony restaurant.

A few moments later, Lance motions to a group of cars, all of them are Bumblebee, also from the Transformers franchise with fives versions of him. With a smile, Lance comments, "And here's one of fans' favorite characters - Bumblebee. From Bug Volkswagen to the muscle modern car Camaro. Isn't that right folks?"

As the Autobots transforms, Bumblebee (G1) spoke, "You've got it. I admit it. Both Movie Version and Prime Versions got the best vehicles. I'm so proud of my kids.”

Bumblebee (Movie) salutes as he said, "Won't let you down, Bee-G."

Bumblebee (Prime) remarks, "You bet. And besides. War for Cybertron Version is still your hot form."

Bumblebee (WOC) remarks, "But the best of all, we've got your traits. That's the secret."

Bumblebee (Animated) agrees, "You bet. All is us are the best." Everyone gave odd looks at him. "What?! What is it everyone look at me for?! Don't blame me! Blame Derrick! He makes me what I am."

A few moments later, various versions of Optimus Prime drove in before transforming. Lance proudly announces, "And here's the best, everyone. The very first but classic mode for Optimus Prime - a truck. Did you know why he always choose that form in every animated or movie version that came after G1? It symbolize the leadership and hero. And of course, that's what makes him the only Autobot to carry his same vehicle. Am I right or wrong?"

All Optimus Prime (G1, Movie, Animated Unicron Trilogy and Prime Version) versions answers, "You are absolutely right, Lance, we are honored."

Now to come to the House of Pony are the Decepticions in their giant warship, and trust me, folks. There's a lot of them, versions and all. This is turning into one big parking lot!

Lance whistled in amazement, "Now that's what I call a giant warship, it transport thousands of Decepticons to anywhere they want. And here's the surprise tip - Nemesis is Tryoticon. And funny thing is that Megatron's G1 Old Mode is a gun before a tank or jet took over. I would laugh at that."

The Megatrons (G1, Unicron Trilogy, Movie and Prime Version) angrily demands, "I beg your pardon - what was that?!"

Starscream screamed, "Incoming!"

Lance hears an engine revving and looks up to see 4-Speed in his race car vehicle laughing madly as he drove past the Transformers and Lance, going through the club's doors. Lance, recovering, groans, "That...would be 4-Speed from the Gen 1 era."

"Welcome to my...GAH! NOT AGAIN!" Rainbow screams as she ducks for cover while 4-Speed drove right over her.

4-Speed drove past Rarity's desk, making the unicorn snaps angrily, "Hey! This isn't a drive-thru, darling!"

4-Speed laughs through the dining area like a lunatic, freaking out the animals and spinning Fluttershy around. The mare, recovering, ask, "Uh, was that order to go?"

Shadow Dragon (P.M.), who is substituting for Pinkie while she is busy with parties, has had enough. Time to put a stop to it.

"Dragoking, Strike Tail on that vehicle." Shadow Dragon (P.M.) orders. Dragoking roared wildly as he swung his tail right at the race car while 4-Speed came out and was thrown straight to the walls hard. "Good boy..."

Twilight cringes a bit from the stage, that's gotta hurt. The mare shrugs as she said, "Well, if you folks hadn't figure it out yet, today is Car Day, so this is a drive in for cars and anything else you drive or ride with! Buckle up and strap yourselves because you will so car crazy over today's cartoons, Doctor Hooves's Car Tips, and, after not getting them 3 times in a row far, we are having the performance of the Cleveland Bays! For now though, let's rev it up for the Cutie Mark-Works!"

The audience applauds while the Cutie Mark Crusaders, now a new band, are playing on synthesizers.

Fluttershy came over to Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg (fictional versions of themselves), speaking, "Hello, I'm Fluttershy and I will be your waiter tonight. What would you two like to order?"

"Our usual. E.T. Soda with a Twist of Lemon." Steven Spielberg orders to Fluttershy.

"As well as the Transforming Cherry!" Michael Bay orders to the mare on what he wants.

"Coming, sirs." Fluttershy said. She flew off for a moment then came back with the teams for Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg. So far, this looks like a good night so far.

--------------

Though for a certain Mystic Pony, that isn't the case. Lance was in the parking lot, watching the cars as the Humans leaves. Sam Witwicky remarks, "Our Autobots pals are awesome throughout their franchise."

Cade Yeager nods as he and the Humans leaves, adding, "I know. I will be glad when the next movie comes out for them too."

Lance sighed, "What cool wheels, especially my dad and Dragoking. They're the best..."

Just then, Teenage Nyx (P.M.) came up, asking, "And it's okay for you not to have one?" Lance is startled a bit but calms down upon seeing who it is.

"Oh hey, sis. Didn't see you coming."

"Didn't mean to startle you. But I overheard it. You want a car or a ride so badly, don't you?"

Lance concerned ask, "Me? Why would I need it for? I can fly without any transport." The Mystic Pony look at her sister's glaring eyes. "Okay. I do want one so badly. I want to have at least a partner or companion like the Transformers or my dad and Dragoking, They're the best."

"Lance... If you want it so badly, why not have your own?" Nyx (P.M.) suggests to her brother. "Besides, you're older than me like a 900 years old pony."

"Yeah... You're right! I should get one. And I know who to ask. And by the way, Nyx - I'm 700 years old."

---------------------------

Lance heads into the club and was going near the kitchen, Shadow Dragon was coming in and out with various dishes, doing his best not to fall.

"Dad!" Lance calls out to Shadow Dragon.

"Yeah, son?" Shadow Dragon ask while passing by him with an order, coming back.

"Any chance you got a minute?"

"Sure, go ahead, son! I am here if you wanna talk to me about something."

The P.M. version of Shadow Dragon goes back into the kitchen, coming out with an order. Lance breathes in as he speak, "I was wondering..."

"About what?" Shadow Dragon ask, wondering what his son wants then coming right back.

"Will you buy me a car?"

Shadow Dragon was about to enter the kitchen when what his son said made him stop, then turn to Lance in surprise. His son wanted a car?

"A car? You mean as in what humans usually drive?" Shadow Dragon ask Lance in surprise and concern.

"Or at least a ride like you and Dragoking." Lance adds to his father with a hopeful smile.

"Well, not sure, Lance. A car or a ride are big responsibilities to have. You must be responsible like me."

Suddenly the animals came out with orders, knocking Shadow Dragon down while coming out of the kitchen. Lance cringes a bit. That's gotta hurt.

"I know...but dad..." Lance said to his father in concern.

"Look, you got to at least prove you are responsible to have your own car or ride and..." Shadow Dragon then sighs a bit. "Look, give me time to think about it, okay?"

"Dad, when it comes to fighting, he's excellent. When it comes to thinking though? Not always good."

Lance sighs, heading off while getting a bit nervous. He hopes that his dad would let him have a car or a ride, but Shadow Dragon is mostly on the negative side of things. Lance can only hope that he will get what he wants tonight.

Author's note
