My life in mlp g 5

Chapter 26 The Community Garden

Back at Mane Melody Pipp had Sparky on a Hammack but groaned "Oh, Pipp. What have you gotten yourself into? Up and up he goes, like the Filly Four. Ugh! Why can't I get one thing to trend?! What is my skill set if not this?! What is my "Sparky's Spark"?!" she complained a apple then slammed into her head she gasped "I have an idea!" another smacked into her "Oof! Nope, it was Sparky. Ow!" unknown to her Sparky was recording all of this

(Town Square)

Sunny sat upon a podium being tended to by the Pippsqueaks with the filly four behind her   "Would the Alicorn like to be fanned with an Earth pony-grown branch?" said Glory "Or maybe she would like to try one of these fresh Earth pony-grown grapes? Made by me!" said Seashell "Uh... okay? Thanks." said Sunny nervously she reached for the grapes but Misty stopped her  "No, no! You mustn't lift one perfect Alicorn hoof of yours! You deserve to be treated like the Alicorn royalty that you are, all the time, forever! Isn't it nice?" she said "You have to tell us. How do you get your mane so shiny?" asked Sugar Moonlight "Does it feel weird when you glow?" asked Lily "What's it like being ethereal?" asked Rosedust "Uh, I gotta go, you know? Do the "Ali"-stuff I do. That's the "Ali" part of being an Ali-corn. So... yeah" said Sunny she clearly was not use to all this attention "Anything for an Alicorn!" said the Pippsqueaks "I love you, Alicorn!" yell Toots has Sunny ran into a near alleyway Sunny took out her mirror to Talk with Opaline again "What should I do? I feel so lost..." she said "Continue on this path to glory. You are an Alicorn. You should be praised, admired, feared" said Opaline "But I don't want that" said Sunny "Do you remember how horrible it was before? How nopony would listen to you? How small you felt?" asked Opaline  "Yes... I do" she said sadly she then closed the mirror "But that isn't alright I had and still do have Xavier" she said her Alicorn magic the fizzed and her horn and wings disappeared "No! Come back! Come back!" she said she then took a deep breath "I don't need to be an Alicorn for ponies to like me, right?" she sobbed  "Right?" she asked out loud she made her way back to the podium she started to try to push her way though the crowd of ponies that had gathered "Excuse me! Can you point me to where the podium is? I need to" began Sunny but Toots shooed her "Shhh! The Alicorn is gonna speak!" he said "But I'm not the... Ugh, never mind" she said continuing to make her way there "What are you doing?! You have to be in Alicorn form or else our plan— I mean, your plan isn't going to work!" said Misty "We'll see about that" said Sunny she got to the podium and began her speech "Hello? Testing... My fellow ponies" she began the crowd then started booing her  "Alicorn! A-li-corn! A-li-corn! A-li-corn!" they chatted "Sugar! Pssst! Sugar Moonlight! Why is everypony really here?" asked Sunny  "Well, duh. We want you to like us" said Sugar Moonlight "But of course I like you. You're my friends" said Sunny "Well, not Sunny. The Alicorn. None of the ponies here actually care about these silly causes" said Sugar Moonlight that comment dam near broke Sunny's heart "Nopony even liked you before. But you're cool now. At least when you're an Alicorn" said Lily that one killed her " This isn't what I wanted. At all" said Sunny in tears she ran towards the Brighthouse has the crowd continued to chat  "A-li-corn! A-li-corn! A-li... corn!" I then flew up to the podium I had a very disappointed  look on my face and I was about to give this Ponies a piece of my mind

(5 minutes early at the Brighthouse)  

Izzy, Zipp and I had just finished the Community Garden "Wow that was a lot of work" said Izzy "But we got it done" said Zipp "And it looks perfect plenty of space for ponies to have there own spots and Animals to called it home a raised platform to observe" I said "I hope Sunny likes it" said Izzy :"How could she not she's wanted to for along time and this one was made by her friends" said Zipp now we just need to show her" Zipp finished "I go get her from Town Square meet us at the Brighthouse" I said "See you then" said Izzy as I got closer I heard the crowd chanting I then spotted Sunny running away in tears "Sunny!" I called but she Either didn't hear me or was to sad to bother stopping this made me angry I then flew down to where the podium stood "Attention!" I yell I was using the Canterlot royal voice " You should all be ashamed of yourself treating her like she's some animal you see at the zoo trying to make her happy to make yourself seem better then everypony because you got recognition  from an Alicorn listen up we are just ponies just like you we have feels, hearts a moral compass but we are to sever not the other way around we're not God were Ponies for what ever reason was given emic power and we use that power to protect and help you don't treat us like a detin treat us like ponies that's our true power" I finally calmed down "Now what have you got to say for yourself?" I asked They all hang there Heads and in unison  said "WE'RE SORRY" Don't apology  to me apology to Sunny" I said "We will next time we see her we promise your highness" said one of the ponies "I hope so cause I'd hate to come back here" I said and flew off to the Brighthouse Sunny ran though the Door's crying Izzy and Zipp were wanting for her Heya, heya, Sunny! We have something really exciting we wanna show you that we've been working on and" began Izzy but Sunny stopped her "Do you wanna show me?! Or show the Alicorn?! I can't do this!" sobbed and ran upstairs I then flew in "She's upstairs" Zipp said "Come on" I said to Izzy and Zipp we found Sunny on her bed hugging a rainbow shaped pillow crying  "Go away!" she sobbed  "We don't like to see you hurting, Sunny" said Zipp "Hey, what's wrong?" asked Izzy  "It was a lie. Nopony actually cares about these causes. They only care about me being an Alicorn. I don't want to be followed and adored just because of what I am. I want ponies to believe – truly believe – in what they're fighting for. That they can make the world a better place for every ponykind" said Sunny "Being an Alicorn doesn't make you different. It makes you the same" I said  "It does?" asked Sunny "You're everypony all in one!" I said "We're everypony in one" I corrected myself  "Like Zipp's spy gear! Or, or one of those pens you push that has every colour! But as an Earth pony or an Alicorn, you've inspired all of us to be better ponies. That's your true power" said Izzy "Right on the money Izzy" I said "Thank you, Xavier and Izzy. I guess that is true" said Sunny "And really, really wise?" questioned Zipp "I've been around for thousands of years of cause I'm wise" I said "What about Izzy then/" asked Zipp "I carry the limitless knowledge of my unicorn ancestors!" said Izzy dramatically Sunny gave a laugh "Okay. I'm ready to see whatever you two were talking about earlier" said Sunny "Good! 'Cause I think it'll put you in even better spirits! Shhh! Auntie Buttons, not now! Come on!" said Izzy

(Mane Melody)

Pipp was ned a huge panic "Am I never going to go viral? " "Am I?! Zipp was right. The likes and validation? It isn't worth it. This isn't fun anymore. So what's the point? I'm just going to stop and be my own un-viral self. Be an obscure, but sane, pop star princess." said Pipp Sparky then shot a small burst of dragon fire changing Pipp's tiara "Oh, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Sparky!" she said she then saw the reordering of her "Ow! Ow! Oh, yeah! Ow! Ow! Waaaah! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Ow! Ow!" Sparky laughed "Sparky, you created this?" said Pipp "But... But... it's unflattering! It's embarrassing! It's... It's... hilarious!" laughed Pipp "You know what? It actually feels kinda good to laugh at myself. Thank you. Well, as fun as that was, we have somewhere to be right now, huh?" she then saw what Sparky had done to her tiara not to mention the mess around the room "Um... I will fix that later." she said Putting Sparky on her back I then flew in "Hey were all meeting at the Brighthouse come on" I said "Right with you" said Pipp 

(Opaline Dark Castle)

Opaline was enraged "ARGH! Foolish of me to think that Sunny could understand her Alicorn greatness! But I'm not giving up! I don't need another Alicorn! I can finish this myself! The way it's always been!" she said Misty then walked though the doors "Opaline! Um, I have to tell you that... our plans failed" she said shyly "I know they failed! That Alicorn clearly doesn't understand what it means to be one! She's a disgrace to my kind! So I'll do her a favor. I'll take her power! All of their power! But to do that, we'll need to go directly to the source. The Brighthouse, home of the Unity Crystals. The one place I can't glance inside of. I need to find a new way in. And I know just the thing" she said evilly

Izzy guided Sunny forward who had her eyes closed "Okay, just two more steps to the left. Oh, one to the right. Take it back now, y'all!" she said "Izzy!" yelled Zipp "Okay, okay. And now!" said Izzy "Open your eyes Sunny" I said Sunny opened and gasped at the site of the garden 

"Oh! A community garden?!" said Sunny "Ta-daaaaa!" said Izzy "What do you think?" asked Hitch  "We knew you've been hoping to build something like this forever" said Pipp "So with a well draw out design and some help" I said "We made it happen" finished Zipp "A little helping hoof for the pony who helps all of us to be better" said Izzy "I... I'm...began Sunny her Alicorn magic then activated "So grateful for all of you" she said "You turned into an Alicorn again!" said Hitch "I know. But this time, it feels different" said Sunny "That's it!" I the yelled "What is" said Sunny " I think I figured out your Alicorn magic you can only transform into an Alicorn when you feel like your truly helping somepony. Because that's our best self' I said "I think your right Xavier" said Sunny  "So you can't just do it for any reason. It has to mean something special. Fascinating" said Zipp her phone then chimed "Uh, Pipp? Did you mean to post this? Because it's hilarious!" said Zipp showing everypony the video Sparky recorded  we all laughed "Yup! Sparky found a way to show me that it isn't always about being perfect. It's about being true to yourself" said Pipp "We like you for who you are, Pipp. And you all like me for who I am and we all like Sunny for who she is , no matter what kind of pony she is And I know we can change the world with that" I said "Hey, where is Sparky?" asked Zipp we all then turned around "Sparky!" we yelled we found Sparky on one of the trees bushes changing it into a bush of Pipp's head with the changed tiara "Oh, no!  I totally forgot!" said Pipp Hitch took a picture " And that one's gone viral, too" said Hitch "What can I say?" said Pipp then an apple slammed onto her head "Ouch! Ow! Sparky, enough with the apples already!" she said we along with Sparky all laughed
