>Be Maple >Today it's a beautiful day >There is not a single cloud in the sky, the sun is shining and a sweet warm surrounds the region >You go downstairs to the kitchen, and prepare breakfast >You turn on the radio >"-nd that was the weather. Have a great 4th of Ju-!" >As soon as you heard the first verse, you shut off the radio >4th of july >You don't hate the day, but what your sister does during this day >You go quickly upstairs to check on her >She is still sleeping >Oh, thanks Celestia, she didn't heard it >Maybe now you can- >*BOOM* >No way >You check the bed: a fake Amber "Peeves Amber!" >You go to the window and see your yard >She is talking with a donkey while she tries to hide a box full of illegal fireworks "Amber! Don't you dare bring that box here!" >You run outside >Be Amber >Fucking firebombs, they are too sensitive "Oh shit! ¡Corre Rodrigo! ¡Y no pares hasta la frontera!" >"Amber! Don't you dare bring that box here!" >Rodrigo runs as fast as he can with a chariot full of explosives >"Amber, I heard that. You won't blow anything up" "Fuck you Maple. It's 7/4: that means explosions, drink and barbeques" >"I'm fine with you cooking meat and getting wasted, but I won't tolerate you lightning one of those things" "It's not 4th of july if there is no explosive fun! and George can't bring his tank after the incident 5 years ago" >"Whatever, no explosives" "Fine..." >You give her the box >"Everything Amber" "What? those are the only bombs I got" >She uses her magic to extend your wings "Maple, no magic! It isn't fair" >"Wing inspection" >She checks your wings and take some other bombs you had hidden >"Mane and tail" "Don't you dare" >She takes a big mane brush, and start cleaning your coat >Your last hold of fireworks fall >"There. invite our friends. you get 3 glasses and 2 steaks" "Fuck you fun police. 7 double shots and 5 burgers, with cheese and onions" >"4 normal shots, and 2 burgers. One with cheese" "6 normal shots, 1 steak, and 1 burger" >"Normal burger" "Deal" >Both of you shake hooves >"No explosives Amber. That's all I ask" "Whatever you say miss prude. I'm going for a walk" >"It's only 7 AM" "Yeah... the guys are going to celebrate by just hanging out" >"Perfect. Take care amber" "Don't worry, I will" >Both wave goodbyes, and separate ways >Hehe, poor innocent Maple. Always so naive >You are Maple >And your sister has left the house to hang out with her friends >She thinks you are stupid, but it isn't that way >You grab your phone, and dial someone >"Who the fuck is it?" "George, 4th of july" >"Crap. She left your house?" "A few minutes ago" >"Shit. The new spots are a fountain in the center, the school, and maybe close to the border. An ass was with her when you saw her?" "Yeah, but he left already" >"Fuck, he beated me. Don't go to the border, I'll call someone to go there" "Okay. Thanks for the help George" >"Don't mention it, just put her away from my tank. I'm still paying that fee" "I'll make sure of it. Happy 4 of July" >You hang up, and make a quick breakfast >The fountain is close, so she maybe will go there. But if she is flying, she will reach the school before" >Let's hope the call reaches first >Be Amber >After a few blocks, you see that you are away safetly from your house >You spread your wings, and grab your mp3 >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siwpn14IE7E [Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone] >Oh yeah >*Brip**Brip*...*Brip**Brip* "Huh?" >You cut the music, and reach your phone "Hello?" >"Miss Amber? Rodrigo" "Oh, hola Rodrigo. ¿Lo hiciste?" >"Alguien nos chivo. They took the chariot, and I'm away from Ponyville!" "¡Mierda! Mira, olvida la carreta. You got some bombs with you?" >"Nada miss Amber. They took everything" "Fuck. Ok Rodrigo, cuidate" >"Cuidese miss Amber" >You hang up "Maple, you little shit" >You retreat your wings. She probably is expecting you to fly to the school as well >The fountain isn't far. Maybe you can take some fireworks before she reaches there >You gallop as fast as you can. No one will mess this 4 of July >Be Maple >If George was correct, the fireworks should be around here with your sister >Speaking of the devil "Hi Amber~~~~" >It's obviously how she is trying to not scream at you "Sister! How are you?" >Celestia, you love to tease her >"H...hi sis...." >Her forced smile says it all "I never though seeing you around here. This is where you are going to meet your friends?" >"Yeah..." "Weird. I though it will be at the bar a few blocks before" >"No... We are going to meet here...." >She takes a seat in the border of the fountain "Can I wait with you? I was shopping a few things, but it can wait" >"No! I mean... you know the guys, I don't want you to be annoyed by them" "Don't worry. I heard all the jokes already about me and marshmallow pancakes" >"Greeeat..." >She is obviously angry, maybe she knows already >You stay there for some time, but no one came >Amber looks defeated >You give her a hug, and she hugs you with her wings >"They maybe are busy with something they forgot to tell me" "Sorry if your day was ruined sis. But don't be sad, we still having the bbq tonight" >"Yes. I'm going to walk for a while" "You want anything? I'm going to buy some drinks after all" >"Hard cider" "Anything else?" >"Maybe some hay chips" "Okay. See you soon sis" >you leave her >... >Be Amber >She really is innocent >wWth your wing, you pick a plastic bag with some fireworks >Looks like they didn't got water damaged >At least these are 10 minutes at best >You should go to the school now >Be Maple >Amber will be really happy when you show her the cider >Also, you pony up yourself to get some ribs. that will cheer her up >You reach home, and all your friends greets you >They seem to be enjoying themselves >Suddenly, all lights go out at your house >You check the time >9 o'clock >All the fireworks are going to start soon >You check around, but your sister isn't here >Where did she go? >Suddenly, it becomes clear >"Danger Zone" starts playing at your house "Oh no, she didn't" >"Oh yeah!!" >The fireworks go off while she is flying, giving a show to everybody >It looks she only wanted to show off >"Thanks for the applause everypony, but this is not the end!" >She flies down, and reveals something behind some big bushes "A fucking rocket?! Amber, what the hell?!" >"This firecracker will give you a show! And I'm going to ride it!" >All the audience suddenly silenced >She mounts the rocket, and lights it "Amber, stop!!" >You run as quickly as you can, and mount the rocket as well "Amber! we have to get off before-" >*FFFSSSSHHHHOOOOO!!!" >The rocket lifts off >Be Amber >Making the spectacle of your life! >"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" >Oh, and your sister is here >... >Wait "Sister?!" >"Amber, help me!" >She starts to slide off >"AH!!! Help!" "Don't worry sis! I'm coming!" >You start to slide off as well, trying to get closer >You hear the rocket, and you notice the small sparks "Oh no. Maple, let yourself go!" >"What?!" "Trust me! You need to let yourself go! The rocket it's going to blow!" >"I'm scared!" "You'll have to do it! Or this will turn to the worst!" >She looks down, and then at you >"Catch me sister!" >She lets off the rocket, and you as well >A big explotion lights up the sky >The audience is asking what happened to both your sister and you >You never leave your audience down >"AAHHHH!!!" "Gotcha!" >You catch your sister, and fly in front of everyone >All the public cheers at your bravery >You fly for a while with your sister until you reach a bench in the park "Relax sis, you are safe now" >"What do you mean I'm safe?! I almost die! And all because you didn't listen to me! Why did you bring fireworks?" "Maple, I already told you-" >"No! Fuck you! You always need an explosion, or useless violence in anything! Why can't you take it easy for once?" "I-I'm sorry. I didn't wanted to upset you" >"Well, you did! I hope you are fucking happy" >She gives you the cold shoulder "...." >You look at the sky >The sky still shines with all the fireworks >You reach your mane, and grab some sparklers "Hey sis, look" >She is ignoring you "These aren't fireworks. You need to see this" >"What?" >She looks at the sticks >"... Are those...?" "Yup, sparklers. The same brand dad used to buy us" >She turns again >"So what? Now you are going to make them explode?" "No. I just have 2 so I though we could lit them together" >"I'm mad at you. It's not the time" "Come on. Oh see can you see...." >"Amber" "Two cute ponies are here..." >She reckons that song "One blue as the sky, and the other sweet as sugar" >She looks less angry "You know the lyrics. Dad used to sing us" >"..." "These foals together, always are going to win" >both: "and together they will be, against fever or ruin" >She smiles "Aha! You are happy" >"You know I hate when you always catch me with childhood nostalgia" "But it makes you happy" >"Yes... Can you light the sparklers?" "Sure" >You light the sticks, both consuming in bright sparks >After a while, both look at the sky, full of bright colors "Happy 4th of july Maple" >"Happy 4th of july Amber"
