We interrupt your regular programing with a special post about Alicon 2019. Alicon is a gathering of little ponies getting together to have fun!
It was the first Alicon that a pony named Komo Sparkles π had ever been to and she was wondering what to expect. For a pony from the woods west of Flutter Valley, who hadn’t journeyed far from home in quite a while, it was an adventure. She hadn’t kept in touch with other ponies, except for her dear friend Strawberry π, who was very inspiring and welcoming to a new pony like Komo.
Strawberry π had invited Komo and another friend to Alicon and while Komo had no idea what was going on in Equestria and Ponyville lately she was keen to go to Alicon and see. Especially since it was in Adelaide, where they could have lots of fun and not just at Alicon. Komo was really excited to get out of her little cabin in the woods and have some fun with her friends. She was so excited to travel on a plane for the first time.
Komo only knew some of the tales of ponies like the Mane Six, but she was inspired by and really liked Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack. Bumble Sweet was also a very…well sweet π pony friend of hers that Komo had luckily met at market and who was also coming with her to Alicon. Strawberry π had also mentioned other ponies to Komo and how they took the Magic School Bus together.
Komo’s first time meeting a large group of ponies was at the Alicon Pub Trot. She enjoyed meeting new ponies and having some delicious drinks like apple and trying some amazing new ones like a fairy dust shot β- which another pony suggested she try, a fireball shot π₯ lit passion punch shot β€οΈ. Komo felt buzzy like a bee π and had a great time. She danced, chatted and even did an obstacle course with another pony.
Then came the first day of Alicon. Komo painted her hooves bright orange to celebrate and made sure to get all of the leaves out of her mane…or did she? Sadly one of her friends wasn’t feeling well so she and Strawberry π had to go without her. βΉοΈ
When she arrived at Alicon Komo saw Alope and said “hi!” π before going to collect her magical Alicon necklace and show her invitation to the Alicon ponies. Then she looked around at the treasures at the Rundle Mare, which were being sold by the other ponies and picked a few special treasures for herself. Then she went back downstairs to the Board Manes Room and watched some ponies play Unstable Unicorns while waiting for an audience with Princess Celestia (Nicole Oliver) herself.
Meeting Princess Celestia was amazing, she was beautiful inside and out. She signed a portrait of herself that Komo had found at the Rundle Mare and took a photo with her. She even liked Komo’s gift – a Princess Celestia sticker also from the Rundle Mare. Afterwards Komo went to join Strawberry π and Rope Ladder in the Fun Hall for Friendship Games. She and Strawberry π were on opposite teams but Komo thought that made it more fun because they got to have a friendly competition. There were three games – the first was to get a ball through a rainbow hoop π, Komo got one ball in and was so happy. Strawberry π got the ball in a few times too. The second game was like Rock, Paper, Scissors but was called Biff, Bam, Pow. The third game was a make believe game.
Then Strawberry πand Komo talked about their friends Frengle the half cast human pony in high heels (Komo wondered if saying half cast was politically correct) and Fangs the grumpy pony who were entering a competition for odd ponies. Komo really liked Frengle’s high heel cutie mark and his adorable expression – glancing at his cutie mark. Komo also thought that Fangs scruffy blue tail was funny. Next Strawberry and Komo had a go at karaoke singing Rainbow Dash’s song I’ll Fly. Komo loved that the song was about Rainbow Dash wanting to be with her friend Tank and it was enjoyable to sing with a good friend like Strawberry π… even though Komo is tone deaf π. It was also good because it was a song about friendship and Strawberry π is a wonderful friend who definitely has Komo’s back like Rainbow Dash has Tank’s. Another pony sang Lullaby for a Princess beautifully and Princess Celestia surprised everypony (as ponies say) by coming to sing. ππ€
Strawberry π and Komo π also did some dancing in the Mane Hall before going home. Komo enjoyed the music, especially the song Handbag.
Komo was so happy, the first day of Alicon was amazing!!! She couldn’t wait for the second day. β€οΈ
