Rainbow Dash!

>>43429151
this could honestly be kind of funny, Anon brings his 4chan energy to Equestria and can match Diamond and Silver in their bullying

well
4 channers
horse board gooner cultist
unclutured swine easily impressed by the slightest flowery flair delivered using only the 2000 most common words in the English language in a specific combination you've seen more than twice before
lonely outcast somehow ensnared by a pedophile's psyop generator just because it has other people in it

Were you the bully in school? Even one of you?

>“She looks so sad, doesn’t she, Scootaloo?”
“Who wouldn’t be?”
>Lunch had the odd feel of being mundane retread after such overwhelming chaos.
>Still got to eat.
>Lily was grazing again, by herself this time.
>Everypony was in their own click, talking about how surprised they all were with what their parents did.
>Beats thinking about what happened to Anon.
>Almost every other time adults would run when a monster rolled into town.
>Not tear the monster limb from limb.
“Come on, Sweetie Belle."
>"Wait, what?"
>You take lead without giving her much time to think so she just follows along.
>Trot the grassy slope to Lily.
>Her ears tilt back towards you before returning forward facing.
>If a bit down turned.
>"Hi."
"How's lunch?"
>"Same as usual."
>Sweetie Belle gives you a confused look.
"Then tell us what you're thinking about."
>Lily raises an eyebrow as she chews.
>"Um, not much. Trying not to anyway."
>Shrug as you sit down to eat your daisy sandwich.
>Sweetie Belle joins the two of you.
>"Sure. I can get that."
>Chew a bit more of your sandwich.
>"I wish I could do more."
>Perk your ears up.
"Yeah?"
>Lily gazes at Canterlot Castle.
>"Now everypony important is going to be doing stuff. What can a filly do?"
>"Hey now, that ain't no way to think."
>Nearly jump when Applebloom joins.
>"After all, he was just a colt and look what Anon did. He saved everypony."
>See a few more foals join the herd.
"So what do you want to do?"
>Lily hesitates when she notices just how much of the class had gathered.
>She starts to play with her ponytails.
>"I dunno."
>"I'll tell you then."
>Oh great, Diamond Tiara.
>Most of the ponies gulp as she trots her way in.
>She points at you.
"What?"
>"Creepy stalker here has hay bells of stuff about him and his mom."
"Hey!"
>"How about you put it all to good use and make us a report."
"What are you getting at?"
>Diamond gives you a look.
>That look of 'you know and I know'.
>Lily and the rest of the ponies look between the two of you.
"Fine. What are you thinking?"
>"If some weirdo stole his cutie mark, maybe we can figure out how. When. Where. I dunno. Your the leader of that club right?"
>Suck in your lips and look around innocently.
>So does Sweetie Belle.
"Rainbow Dash club right?"
>"Stop playing dumb. That cutie mark thing."
"It's supposed to be a secret, and I'm not the leader."
>"Some secret. Maybe if ponies don't pay attention to you screaming your lungs out."
>Applebloom raises her hoof.
>"A what now?"
"Cutie Mark Crusaders. We work together to acquire our cutie marks."
>Answer with a disappointed tone.
>That lights up her countenance.
>"Why didn't you tell me? I want mine."
"I dunno. Busy."
>Diamond groans and rolls her eyes.
>"We're getting off track. Figure out that problem. Lily, you were planning on a date for him?"
>"Why do you care?"
>Lily stands up with a frown.
>Diamond doesn't even hesitate.
>"Because I want to."
>You have some doubts.

>>43430988
>"Don't give me that look. Are you going to sit on this hill and pout? You better not. He needs our help. From all of us."
>Rumble actually takes a step back.
>"What?! How could any of us help?"
>Most of the rest of the foals nod in agreement and voice their doubts.
>"Because adults can't do everything. Anon is proof of that. You don't have to think of something now, but if we can work together we can get that cutie mark back. No pony should have theirs stolen."
>That makes most everypony shudder.
"Yeah. That's scary."
>Lily sighs and sits back down.
>"So what were you thinking?"
>Diamond rubs her chin as she thinks.
>"Well we saw what happens when you fall into despair. He lost his color. Now I don't know much about magic, but what if the opposite happens?"
>Tilt your head at the thought.
"Like make him so happy that he becomes more colorful?"
>"It's a stupid idea, but with what's happened I can't say it isn't impossible. A cutie mark and a pony are connected. We make him so charged up with bliss it can't help but try to come back to him."
>Sweetie Belle scrunches her snout.
>"I've never heard of anything like that."
"Never heard of a cutie mark being stolen either."
>"It's the best I can think of. We're really working with foggy unknown nonsense here."
>Snips sighs as he scratches his head.
>"I miss when it was just about pop-quizzes. This is confusing."
>Simpler days.
>Tiara stomps her hoof.
>"We make him have the best date a colt could ever want. Any suggestions from you guys?"
>That makes the dudes all pause.
>"Uuuuh, I dunno. Never been on one."
>"I wouldn't want to be on one. Fillies are weird."
>Thanks Buttons.
>"I saw what you all did to Anon at that stupid event."
>Diamond facehooves and drags her face.
>"Useless! All of you."
>Noi raises her hoof.
>"Give him a kiss?"
>That gets you all to blush.
>Lily starts playing with her pony tails faster.
>"I-I-I-I dunno. That's scary to think about."
"I saw Diamond give him one."
>"S-shut up! That was CPR. You are all impossible!"
>The bell rings to return to class.
"Fine. Let's think about it. Who knows what will happen."

IDK about our boy, but after all of that insanity, I'd just want some peace and quiet with my beloved Lily, and not think about anything other than her. if I were him, she would be my comfort, my tranquility, my refuge. so, yeah, a kiss from her should do the trick.

>>43430990
Took me a few lines to realize this was a repost, kek. The text felt oddly familiar.

>>43430996
Haven't they only been friends for like a week or so? I thought they were acquaintances at best before the battle royale.

>>43431202
bro sang a song for her (and rickrolled all of ponyville while at it). their relationship is at least on track.

>>43431202
Yeah, it would weird to ask for a kiss now. Which is why Noi suggested it. Cause she wants it.

>>43431231
it's a known thing IRL that mortal danger can help put relationships on the romantic fast lane. I've heard stories about occasions where a man and a woman were alone in a warzone and the woman was crying and begging the man to stay with her, even going as far as to grab him and hold him tightly so that he physically can't leave.

>>43431276
that doesn't sound much like how this situation worked out

>>43431307
it was still quite a traumatic event.

>>43431307
True. Diamond Tiara got the traumatic experience and the kiss.

>>43430752
Cute anon with dashie

>>43431276
>even going as far as to grab him and hold him tightly so that he physically can't leave
That's a surefire heh way of getting both of them killed when shit goes really south.

>>43430990
>At least Anon is resting peacefully, thank you Princess Luna.
>You weren't sure what you were expecting with a royal medical wing.
>Stuffy maybe?
>Guess Princess Celestia wants a more homely feel whenever she gets a cold.
>You're Rainbow Dash, staring at a nice full plate of food that the staff brought you.
>Haven't touched it yet.
>Might have to reheat it now.
>Heavy hoof clops stop next to you.
>"Hey Dash."
>Tilt your head up to at least acknowledge him.
"Royal Guard. I'm surprised to see you. Thought they would put you on leave or something."
>He throws his arm out and back in.
>"Only if you're injured do they make you. Got lucky this time."
>Snort loudly.
>"Breaking a leg moving a mountain is lucky?"
>Royal shrugs, then steals a hay-fry from your plate.
"Dude!"
>He spits it out.
>"Cold, yuck! Dash, how long have you been sitting here?"
"I dunno. A little while. Doctors and nurses need space to work at the moment."
>Nods at that, then sits down next to you.
"Wish I could do more. I wish I could have done more."
>"Throwing lightning right back at that monster is not enough? Dash, that saved everypony's life. That was incredible."
>A small smile breaks on your face.
"I guess so"
>"I understand though. I wish I could have done more."
>Workers and guards move past the two of you going about their daily regiment.
>Catch him looking at a particular unicorn guard.
>"My talent might have saved Fluttershy's life, but I think I could have done a better job if I was an unicorn. Zip, zoom, teleport right out of there with her. Instead of shattering my leg."
"That magic sapping fumes would have been a problem."
>"Probably."
>He says with a straight face as he steals your apple juice.
>Just glare at him then smack him with your tail.
>"Ow."
>You know he could've deflected that, he just didn't want to.
"So when we were both fighting that smaller monster, you did all that with a bad leg? Didn't that hurt like tartarus?"
>"Totally did, but I was motivated by piss and anger. I saw how you looked. That wing was mangled badly."
"Didn't feel great, that's for sure."
>Both of you chuckle at that.
"Wow, what a terrible day. Top five for sure."
>"Not even top one?"
"It's a competitor."
>Eat a hay-fry, then spit it out.
"Gross. Maybe I should get a new plate."
>"If you ask for a griffon meal, I think they have tuna salad."
"Eh, I usually only prefer it when I make it. Go to an ocean, snatch up a tuna, then bring it home to cook."
>Royal Guard stares at you dumbfounded.
>"R-really!?"
"No you goof. I think I'll just grab an apple."
>"Ms. Rainbow Dash."
>Both of you perk up when a nurse approaches.
>"We're done. You can be wi--"
>Didn't need to hear the rest.
>Moved like a rainbow lightning bolt and stopped cold in front of the door.
>Paper and curtains are thrown aside.
>Quickly open the door.
>He's asleep still.
>Blink a few times.
>Hop up on the bed, curl up around him, pull him in with legs and wings.
>A soft murmur escapes his lips.
"Hush, mom's here."

I'm a Flutter man myself.

>>43432509
Very good green, i like it. Moar pls!

>>43432509
The more I read about these two interacting with one another, the more I like the idea of them being a pair. They definitely have the chemistry.

>>43432935
especially if Anon ends up joining the guard. (which I think he should)

>>43433040
>(which I think he should)
Not so sure about that. The guard would assign him to a fixed post. It would deprive him of a lot agency to act wherever he has to, whenever he has to. Anon would play a far better part as an irregular.

>>43433215
fair point, but who wouldn't want a change of pace after all that boogalooing? plus, our boy strikes me as someone who's not interested in a desk job.

>>43433275
I think a special position as a "royal advisor" or some such stuff would work better. He'd be in contact with the princesses and has more options than a regular guard.

>>43433534
Why not Wonderbolt? Join his mom.

>>43433534
>>43433571
I was thinking he'd choose a job that allows him to go wherever equestria needs him, remember the other anons who left messages for him in the secret chamber inside the old castle.

Which got blown up.

He's a pony.
His job is to listen to the voices whispering from his ass.

More particularly, daring do doesn't save the continent because she's employed as a villain thwarter. She doesn't write the most popular adventure series in the country in order to fund a lavish lifestyle and clearly isn't beholden to deadlines.

Troubleshoes somehow afforded a trailer which he hides in the dangerous wilds nearby towns which the rodeo is visiting, despite having to remain unseen by basically anyone.

Sunburst and moondancer managed to be study-bums while keeping an apartment and a house, respectively.

Scoot's parents are part of some organization and say they get a "new assignment" once, but they also talk about being previously irreplaceable, so it's possible that what they mean is they found a replacement and know what project they want to work on next. Or, there just straight up might be an adventurer's guild dedicated to whatever bullshit they do involving the taming of wild land and reclamation of forgotten artifacts and settlements. This would mean that this "adventuring guild" does things which have at no point overlapped with either the adventures of the m6 OR daring do, implying that the definition of "adventure" which the guild uses is not quite the same as the equish word "adventure" which just means adventure. In other words, they are likely fake, but very useful, 'adventurers'. and still likely face legitimate danger.

Where does fluttershy get her money? Well, we often assume there's government grants and tax writeoffs involved. She doesn't take money from rainbow when giving RD tank, as far as we know, but some people say she sells pets. Operations somewhat like FS's cabin in real life often get donations, and operate partially from that. So, that's likely to be involved.

But the broke ass bitch bought a whole zoo of land and built 2 animal sanctuaries worth on that land. That's not reasonable or comprehensible under a human understanding of economics.

In FS leans in:
>Fluttershy: I just can't believe all these poor little animals are hurt. What happened?
>Dr. Fauna: I'm flummoxed! Every day, there's more and more animals on my doorstep. Most of them just have minor ailments – hurt wings, stuffy noses, and such. But the trouble is even after they're all healed up, I can't seem to get these comfy critters to leave!"

Absolutely nothing is said here, or anywhere in the rest of the episode, about payment. Importantly, animals can't pay. They aren't pets, or affiliated with a guild. They are wild animals born in the woods who appear suddenly in the office of a doctor, not a vet, and simply receive treatment.

Consistent with this, the 3 different contractors which are recommended to fluttershy do not mention payment. They discuss reputation, but they focus on respect and the opportunity to cooperate for work on a personally meaningful project.

>>43434240


>Dandy Grandeur: Rarity has impeccable taste in design and friends, so I can't wait to work with you, you know?
>Fluttershy: I-I think so.
>Wrangler: Yee-haw! I'm just lookin' forward to helpin' ya out, ma'am! And the animals.

Later, when FS calls Mcolt in, he also does not discuss payment, but DOES mention his personal motivation to help house and protect critters, which is consistent with his first appearance.

If a human said these things, we would understand that they are mildly exaggerating. I am suggesting that when a pony says this, we believe them literally. Wrangler is just looking forward to helping and helping animals, and dandy wants to express his talents within a reputable social circle full of eccentrics like himself and rarity, and that is their actual motivation. By extension, it is suggested that all other working ponies in the show have had somewhat similar motivations, at least most of the time.

>ok but money exists
The main examples of money in mlp, that I remember, are the trading scenes from putting your hoof down, the cider scenes from squeezie9000, scenes involving rarity's shops, maybe the shopping scenes from best gift ever, and trade ya.

Trade ya is notable for NOT using bits, and for that being considered somewhat odd, so it's not a good example.

BGE has 2 bits for a hat, 7 bits for 3 spools thread and 5 rolls cloth or wrapping paper, (unclear) for cider but there's bits visible, zero bits clearly paid while an aggravated twilight magically robs multiple stalls in full daylight, (all your bits) for a scam doll, 3 bits for a train ride home

sscs9000 has pinkie drop a large sack of bits for an unknown amount of cider, but the rest give 2 bits for a cup.

Rarity's clothes I think never get an actual price shown so we can actually read it.

And in putting your hoof down everything in the stands costs 1 or 2 bits, and pinkie haggles tomatoes between 1 and 2 bits, which is a 100% increase. The cherry vendor attempts to extort FS for 12 and then 20 bits for a cherry, but that sale does not occur and the last cherry is sold to a passing mare for 2 bits.

So I'm pointing out the odd pony economy with the all-things-are-1/2/3-bits nonsense. Everyone knows this already. Nobody takes it that seriously because it's incomprehensible to the capitalist mind.

But, lets put these things together.

1. a whole ass roll of fabric was worth about 1 bit, and by extension the source materials for projects is insanely cheep and food is, as it is the same price, insanely expensive relatively speaking. So, life is expensive and work is cheep, unless you just eat off the ground. So, the reason food is expensive is probably because the alternative is free. Anyone eating good food is basically doing luxury consumption, and so every pony with any money at all can afford to supply themselves for projects.

>>43434243
2. ponies, a race full of creatures who are biologically and magically driven towards work in a form that is useful to society, are seen repeatedly giving away their labor and resources for free. So, every project worth doing will happen if a pony with appropriate talent learns about it, often even if they have to pay for the privilege of working.

This seems, to me, like the kind of society that would develop within the confines of a kindergarten. It feels like the simplistic rules of a world that only has rules in order to allow the small minded children within it to flourish. It feels like celestia is standing above each disagreement and each frustrated child-adult horse and saying whatever she has to in order to enable everyone to go be productive. It's like bits exist only so that ponies can feel like they argued over the value of things, and so had that value confirmed. It feels like jobs exist only so that people can know what service a pony provides and efficiently distribute that service. It makes me think of celestia silently watching twilight beef with the school accreditation committy. It feels like children playing at adulthood.

>what was my point
oh right well I kind of think anon could just continue to act exactly the way he has been acting and that would probably constitute a good enough contribution to society and while money troubles might exist I basically expect them to solve themselves for the most part. A 'job' and a 'living' don't seem to be the same thing. A job seems to lose you money as a pony, maybe even.

Probably he'll find something to do with this time, though.

>>43434253
>Fluttershy: No. Her vet clinic is a bit... maybe, um... overrun with adorable critters in dire need of a safe place to lay their heads, and... they don't have anywhere to go!
> Rarity: Oh, that's just awful.
> Fluttershy: I know!
> Applejack: Yeah. Dr. Fauna's always fixin' Winona up when she ain't feelin' too fine, so helpin' her out is A-okay by me.
> Rainbow Dash: Hah! Yeah!
> Rarity: You can count on us!

This is how they decided to build the sanctuary. Fauna needed help and had sufficient reputation points, which was the true currency in this situation.

Being known as a helpful person purchased her a sanctuary run by another pony for the purpose of keeping her clinic empty and functional, but only because fluttershy (an appropriately talented pony) already wanted to do that kind of thing.

>>43432580
happy pony family :D

>>43434253
Given how each town seems isloated like you mentioned in an earlier post, maybe currency was used for when you visit other towns. Otherwise in your home town you just have good pony points.

>>43434621
The best kind of pony family.

>That was you 110%
>'How did you do it? He is the bravest pony I've ever met.'
>Pause at that.
'You've ever met!?'
>'Most adults in similar situations have strength or magic to face the challenge head on. Anon had none of that, but still showed astounding bravery and sacrifice.'
>Wow.
>A sense of pride wells up in you.
>'I must confess, Rainbow Dash. I had promised myself when my sister returned I would pull away from being emotionally attached to another foal.'
'Right, you're Twilight's teacher.'
>'And here I am again, with a new foal. I can't help myself.'
>Celestia looks out the window at the moon, then back to you.
>'Rainbow, may I be Anon's godmother?'
>Jaw drops.
>She waits for your answer.
>Celestia wants to be part of Anon and your life.
>Never had you thought this would be a thing.
>Mom is going to explode with joy.
'You look tired, come sleep with us.'
>Celestia sits up straight as you wave her over with your wing.
>Eyes water slightly before she wipes them away.
>Regalia is removed until she's bare.
>Glad the bed was made to handle her.
>She softly lies down and curls opposite of you.
>A giant warm wing envelops you.
>Shared breath mixes between the three of you.

>For the most part, you understand their concern too
>You'd feel the same if you became aware of a skinwalker back home
>But some part of you can't help but rancor at the idea that they'd been spying on you
>Nor can you shake the idea that they still might be
>"Now, Mach, I think our friend here is probably planning to go out with some of his friends" The soft voice of Hot Stuff pulls you from your thoughts. "Why don't we let him be, huh? Fill up these sacks"
>Mach lets out a groan of disappointment but nods
>Damn, you didn't prepare for trick or treaters
>Still, you'd feel bad turning away kids with nothing
>Your head whips around your home before you call to the group
"Hey, I don't have much, but do you kids like oat and chocolate granola bars?"
>"Yeah!"
>"Sure?"
>"Meh"
>Come three distinct answers
>Each individual bar is sort of small, and you're not stingy
>You only just stocked up to account for Rainbow, but you grab three whole boxes and give one to each
>Mach's eyes and smile widen more than before, while his two sisters change their tune to actual enjoying the treat
>You wave the family off as they fly back towards Cloudsdale to do their trick or treating in earnest
>With a sigh you head back inside to wait for Rainbow
>The two of you never set a time for you to arrive in Ponyville
>Plus if you take too long, you know she'll just come grab you

>>43435334
>Then of course, there's the fact you're wearing matching costumes
>If she doesn't come grab you, Rarity will
>As you reach your room to lay down, you stop
>Idly juggling a ball between her hooves is Rainbow Dash, splayed out on her back on your bed
>Resting by her tail is a lopsidedly round black sphere, a white cord coming out of one end with an orange end
>It looks like one of those cartoonish bombs you'd see way back when
>You step into the room, and the bomb's "fuse" turns to look at you
>Only now you realize it's Tank
>Rainbow follows Tank's gaze to you and grins
"What took you so long?" You ask with a grin of your own
>"Oh, you did not just go there!" She says with her own grin as she throws the ball at you
>A simple raise of your hoof causes it to bounce off
>You chuckle as you climb onto the bed, not quite cramped with the two of you and her pet
>You run a hand over Tank's shell and inspect his... costume more thoroughly
"Tank comin' with us?" You ask as you pick up the tortoise who stares blankly back at you
>"Nah, all the noise bothers him, but I didn't want to leave him out either" Rainbow says, standing to her hooves. "Oh! But check this out"
>She sits beside you infront of Tank and makes a hissing noise at him
>He doesn't react, even when she does it a second time
>You curl your lips in to stop yourself from laughing at the display
>The mare scoffs and lightly pushes you before taking Tank from your hooves
>"It's cause you're distracting him!" She complains
>She bumps her muzzle against Tank's and makes the hissing sound again
>This time Tank, very slowly, takes a deep breath, then begins letting out a slow hissing sound of his own
>As he does, he pulls his limbs slowly into his bomb shell
>When he finally disappears into the shell, he goes quiet, then pops out again, letting out a gasp that you think is supposed to mimic an explosion
>Rainbow hugs Tank to her cheek, grinning ear to ear at you expectantly
>The display was funnier than it was impressive, but you can imagine she worked hard with Tank to work on it
>You give a respectable amount of applause to the two, making the mare bow lightly before presenting Tank
>Finally done with the display, she lays Tank down on your bed again
>"You don't mind if he chills here, right? Your place is kind of closer to Ponyville"
>You shrug
>You're certainly not against him staying
>If anything you're used to it by now
Hopping off the bed, you nod back towards the door. "So, we going?"
>"No, I came here to blow off the holiday with you." You can't see her eyes behind the goggles, but you're pretty sure she rolled them
>With a flap of her wings, she shoots out your still open window
>That would be quicker
>You follow behind and then quickly give chase as she makes a silent offer to race down to Ponyville as she takes off
>It's no surprise that she beats you there, but it's fun regardless
>You look over Ponyville, and you're almost surprised with how much more livelier it seems

>>43435336
>Fillies and colts running around
>Some with their parents, others with their friends
>The town plastered in extensive and impressive decorations for the festivities
>Not to mention the costumes galore
"You ponies really go all out with this, huh?" You mutter, more to yourself than anything
>"Yeah we do," Rainbow's voice half-startles you as you realize she heard, "and now you're one of us"
>Oh if only she knew the irony of that sentence
>"Come on, let's get this night started right!" She cheers as she zips away
>You do your best to catch up and find her just as she's riding down on a cloud
>She shushes you and pulls you into the cloud with her
>The two of you creep slowly across the sky, above unsuspecting ponies, until you stop by a group of kids being told a ghost story by that zebra mare from before
>What was her name again? Zebora? Something like that
>She's dressed like a witch doctor with her mohawk from before now braided
>"Waaaaaait for it" Rainbow murmurs
>You do just that as you faintly hear the zebra mare building up to the climax of her story
>As she finishes, the kids let out shrieks which you're pretty sure they're just doing for fun
>That is, until Rainbow brings her hooves down on the cloud and they shriek for real, scattering
>Even Zecora let out a deep yelp in shock before looking up and chuckling
>"Who's that I see, all dressed up in purple, black and blue? Rainbow Dash, is that you?" She rhymes
>"Heya, Zecora!" Rainbow calls, poking her head fully out of the cloud. "Nice story"
>"A greater tale to tell, is one with such a frightening swell" Zecora says "But who is that with you? In your cloud built for two?"
>You poke your head up, a smirk on your face
>You've never been a big prankster yourself, but that was good
>The last time you bumped into Zecora you remember freaking out and charging away on a damaged wing, so you're not sure how tense things are
"Hi, Zecora" You offer as a meek greeting "How- uh- how's the Everfree?" You ask, not being able to think of anything else
>"Unorthodox, my home remains, not that I need to tell you it can't be tamed" She responds
>You nod to her words
>It'll be a long time before you'll willingly go back in there
>And elbow hits your ribs and you look to see Rainbow nodding towards Zecora
>You roll your eyes as you think of how to phrase this
"Hey- uh-" You stammer out. "Sorry. You know, for freaking out on you before"
>The zebra mare chuckles to herself and waves you off
>"To hold a grudge over a thing so small would be a chore. You though, I notice are more pony than before"
>She gives you that look again, though it feels tamer before, now shot from lidded eyes and a gentle smile
>It still feels like a shard of ice in your chest to get the impression that somepony here actually sees you
>But you stifle the feeling and nod before using your own wings to turn the cloud and flying it back out over the town

>>43435338
>"Dude, you okay?" Rainbow asks. "You know, Zecora's actually pretty cool when you get to know her"
"I'm sure she is, Dash." You say, "It's just..."
>Seriously, how the hell are you ever supposed to explain something like this to her
>You don't want her to look at you differently
>But you don't know how many layers of half-truths you can stack on top of one another
"She just reminds me of the Everfree too much" You finally say
>That seems to satisfy her, at least for now
>Trying to find something to get you back on track, you feel the cloud beneath you and look around
>Clouds are a lot more flexible than most would assume
>Storm clouds, for example, can make snow
>Rainbow shivers slightly as you shift the cloud to suit your needs
>"Dude, what-?"
"Watch this" You say with a grin as you nod towards the ground
>A stallion walking around in a pirate costume with a very wide collar is your target
>You compress the snow together into a small ball and take aim
>With a toss, your snowball flies true
>Sailing through the air, it lands at the nape of the stallion's neck and seeps down his collar
>The sudden chill makes him yelp, bulk and take off in a brief run as he shakes his costume to try and clear the cold
>Rainbow burst into laughter, doubling over and rolling on the cloud as it shifts to a warmer temperature
>"Dude! That was hilarious!" She cackles as she lightly punches your shoulder. "I didn't know you had it in you."
"Happy to surprise you, Dash"
>"Come on, the night's still young!" She cheers as she drags you along
>The night continues on with the two of you pulling pranks throughout the town
>The snowballs are a new arsenal in Rainbow's repertoire as she enjoys the simplicity of simply startling ponies with sudden thunder
>There are a few ponies she goes the extra mile for in her prankings
>Specifically her closer friends
>For example, she gets you to distract Pinkie Pie with talks of finally setting up a party for you, with which the mare is ecstatic
>So ecstatic in fact that she pulls out a party cannon to celebrate
>A cannon that then stalls
>Until she sticks her head in and gets blasted with some cotton candy Rainbow had stuffed in it while you distracted her
>The pink mare laughs heartily and even thanks you two for the tasty treat to take on the go
>Thanks she gives by blasting you with a spare party cannon you weren't aware of
>Also full of cotton candy
>The two of you share your own laugh as you pick candy off its each other's manes
>Applejack is another target Rainbow takes glee in pranking
>A simple but effective method was simply swapping out the apple based prizes she had prepared at her farm with other fruits
>Apple-bopping became banana-bopping
>The apples used to throw at the dunk tank were swapped for oranges
>All small pranks, but so many that they couldn't be ignored
>While the mare was certainly annoyed, even as she shouted at you and Dash, she had a smile on her face

>>43435340
>To finish off the small prank parade through the farm, you lift one of ploughs and leave it on a cloud
>That gets her to redouble her yelling, and her smile as she remembers your previous back and forth
>You merely laugh as you fly off with Rainbow back into town
>You'll pull it back down tomorrow morning
>Probably
>Before you two can get to her other friends, grumbling stomachs tell you to take a break
>It leaves you time to think of how to prank the others too
>The two of you join one of the various gatherings throughout the town
>Multiple areas out in the open are alive with different musics, dancing and food
>Some ponies seem to have an open invite to their homes for anyone who wants to get out of the nip in the air
>You shake off some of the water and static that danced along your fur from the cloud, and you notice Rainbow do the same
>The two of you share a stifled laugh at your tomfoolery and break off from each other to mingle
>You immediately head to the snack table, and you're glad to see such a spread
>Who knew pulling pranks could work up such an appetite
>If you're this hungry, you imagine Rainbow will be the same and load up a second plate for her
>"Greetings, Anonymous" A familiarly archaic tone says behind you
>It's enough to freeze you as you're mid-way through lifting a pumpkin decorated cupcake
>You turn your head on a swivel
>Sure enough, there's Princess Luna
>And you were having so much fun too
"Luna..." You say, shock clear in your tone as you fully turn. "How are- your- uh- hi?"
>She let's out a huff, more amused than annoyed
>"We should not be surprised by thine response, many of our little ponies are shocked when we leave the Castle" She explains
"Oh, yeah- how, uh-" You look around at the town before turning back to her. "How do you like Nightmare Night?"
>Your words eek out in a tone that is desperately hoping she's not offended and going to take it out on you
>"Initially, we found it rather insulting, in truth." She admits. "But some ponies have shown me the appeal the holiday has to my little ponies, so we enjoy it most thoroughly"
You smile and nod, glad. "That's good, I know I'd probably hate having a holiday named after me"
>She chuckles and nods, and you can tell that she feels as awkward as you
>The two of you take turns opening and shutting your mouths as you look around for something to talk about
>"Art thou..." She begins. "A... Shadowbolt?" She asks, pointing to your costume
>Shit
"Uuuuuuuuh-" You stare down at yourself as you make aimless noise like an idiot in a vain attempt to buy yourself time to think of an answer
>"The craftsmareship is most impressive. The detailing matches most seamlessly to the illusions I once conjured" She remarks
>Your muzzle clicks shut as you process her words
>She's not mad?
>Roll with it
"Yeah-!" You hurriedly say. "I mean- Rainbow was a big fan of the design, and she seemed to have a mind for it, and Rarity, well..." You trail off, waving generally at yourself

>"It is... strange, to see a Shadowbolt realized, we suppose, but it is a good costume nonetheless" She says with a smile
"I'm just glad this isn't like... offensive or something" You say, far less nervous than before
>She tilts her head to the side and hums
>"Once upon a time, perhaps, but our sister, and her student have taught us that insults are rarely ever intended in a pony's actions today"
>You nod along as she speaks and finally feel a genuine, albeit small, smile forming on your face
>With a flash of thought, you turn to the table and pull one of the cupcakes off and offer it to the lunar princess
>She smiles warmly and happily takes the confectionery as you start your own
"So, you gonna come here for every Nightmare Night?" You ask
>She goes to answer, then remembers her mouthful of cake and puts a wing over her muzzle as she finishes it
>"We do not know." She starts. "It is a most pleasant town to visit, but mayhaps I shall spend the next years experiencing the festivities across our kingdom. Our sister would most likely need little convincing to join us"
>You can already imagine how much ponies would freak out to have both princesses in their town
>The two of you continue in peaceful silence as the partying continues around you
>As she takes another bite of her cupcake, you get an idea and hide a smile behind biting into your own
"So, how do you like Ponyville so far?" You ask
>Again, she goes to answer, then stops herself as she tries to chew through the cake quicker to answer
>"'Tis a most pleasant town. In truth, we are surprised a settlement could survive so close to the Everfree without the presence of my sister or I to ward off its beasts. It is why our old Castle was the only settled land centuries past."
>You nod along, happy to get a small history lesson out of it
>Again, you wait just a little bit
>Just until she has another mouthful of cake
"Do you think you'll ever restore the old castle?" You ask
>For the third time, she stops and is caught between wanting to answer and finish her food
>This time she sees the smirk you do a terrible job of hiding and huffs through her nose, though she smiles
>When she finishes this time, she shoots you a withering glare that doesn't have an ounce of harm behind it
>"Thou didst that on purpose." She states
>You nod, half from intention and half from your own cackles
"I'm s- I'm sorry that was just too funny-" You get out through snickers. "Especially with the frosting" You point to her muzzle
>Her eyes cross and she licks at some frosting that had missed her lips
>She lets out chuckles of her own before they turn to laughter as well
>"Be warned, Anonymous." She states ominously. "Thou hast made an enemy tonight, we shall have our revenge~"
>There wasn't an iota of seriousness in her tone as she disappears into a puff of blue, star-dotted mist and zips away
>You smirk as you watch her disappear around the corner of a building and shake your head

>"Popular with mares, aren't ya?" A new voice from behind you makes you jolt up and turn
>A purple coat and sky blue mane with a pink bow on top
>You specifically made mental notes on which twin was which
>Bow meant Flitter
>But... something feels off
>You narrow your eyes at the mare
>She's suspiciously absent of a costume
>"What, do I have something on my face?" She asks
>There's a smile on her muzzle and a mischievous glint in her eyes
>You know that voice
"Cloud Chaser?"
>The mare laughs, takes off the bow and shakes her mane into its usually messy-spiked nature
>"Wow, dude, you just cost me more bits. I bet Flitter that you'd never figure it out" Cloud Chaser says
"So I'm guessing your sister's dressed as you?"
>She nods and joins you by the snack table
>"I'm surprised to see you here, haven't seen you all night" She says as she chucks up a bit of nougat and catches it in her mouth
"Me and Rainbow have been going around pranking ponies, I guess we just haven't gotten to you yet" You smirk
>She almost chokes on the sweet before clearing it
>"Wait, that's been you? I thought it was just Dash."
>She then looks you up and down, and her smile shifts in a way you can't quite place.
>"Matching costumes?"
You look down at yourself and nod. "Yeah. It was free too, can you even believe that?"
>"Rarity?" She asks, and you nod. "Then, yeah, I believe it."
"Guess her reputation precedes her to everypony but me" You say
>She nods
>"Probably, but don't worry, you knowing nothing is kind of endearing. It's part of your charm" She taps your shoulder with a hoof
"Gee, thanks" You say sarcastically
>You're not sure whether she was serious or just teasing you, but she smiles regardless
>Her eyes trace over your costume again, then she looks away before looking back
>Your head tilting curiously finally gets her to speak
>"Oh, don't mind me, Anonymous. I'm just wondering..." She taps your chest. "Is it a matching costume, or a couple's costume?"
>Now she's definitely teasing you
"Dash is just a friend" You say. "A really good one, my first one, but a friend"
>Her hoof lingers on your chest for a moment and you freeze in surprise when her muzzle comes closer to yours
>"Good to know" She whispers
>Now you're really glad that the mask of this thing covers most of your face
>You doubt it matters though
>With how close she is she can probably feel the heat from your blush
>She almost nuzzles you for an instant as her cheek brushes yours as she walks past you
>"The night's young, Anonymous" She says in a tone you can only describe as sultry
>You're proud to say you're thick enough that you could have convinced yourself she was just teasing you
>But as her tail flicks up and the tip hits your nose, even you can tell that's neon-levels of an obvious sign
>"Maybe I'll see you around" She says before taking off

>>43435344
>You're stuck frozen where you are
>Was Dash serious when she made all those jokes before?
>The blatant flirting was one thing
>The fact that you didn't hate it was another

Nightmare Night is far from done, there's plenty more I have planned for Anon and Rainbow
also, I know I asked before in the last thread, but just take this Nightmare Night as you will as I remembered the Nightmare Night happened before 'May the Best Pet Win'
so maybe it's the S2 nightmare night and Rainbow got him early, or it's the next year's nightmare night, your choice
anyway I wanted to put this update out cause it was already long and it actually had the chance to be longer as I'd considered writing out the Pinkie and Applejack prank parts fully, but I wasn't sure if they'd drag
if anyone's interested, let me know and I can add it to the ponepaste as a bonus

>>43435336
>hand
fuck, I'll fix that

>>43435251
>>43435354
Damn nice greens ty for updating both of you.

>>43435251
this is starting to reach into bullshit territory, but damn if it isn't gold.

I have thought of the coolest fucking thing.

So anon has middling skills, but a lot of them. He's not probably going to be better at magic than twilight, better at weather than RD, or faster than RD. He's not going to have the reaction speed, accuracy, or strength of Guard, AJ, or Maud.

So, what can one do with a human mentality, cloud manipulation, and jank telekenesis? Well, the primary way a human can take down a much much much stronger threat is by bracing a spear against the dirt and letting an enraged creature run into it. A tiny bit of cloud bound near the tip of a spear would let the spear maintain its angled position without being jammed into the dirt fully, and a magic hand lets anon push things to the left or right at a distance. That means he can fight normally while also maintaining a braced spear at the same time.

So, anon can dodge around his spear in the ground, and then either push or pull on the wild creature when it tries to navigate around the spear, or unexpectedly rotate the spear while the creature is busy looking at him. Almost no force is required for this, and most of the work is done by sleight of hand.

This doesn't do much in the face of a shield bash that can parry a mountain, but then again, it's considerably harder to press the advantage when there is a sharp stick next to you which might, at any moment, suddenly point into you if you ever give yourself any forward momentum. Still, that only helps as long as anon is personally strong enough to stop a pony like royal from instantly swatting away anon's little spears without fear of repercussion, and anon is nowhere near being able to capitalize on a small opening like that. Worse yet, a skilled enough opponent might just, like, point the cloud-spear back at anon themselves, use his weapon-trap as their own advantage.

>>43435354
Please do add it as a bonus on the ponepaste, Sunn! Happy to see more of peganon :D

>>43435354
Woah, Cloud Chaser's coming in HOT! Whew boy, Rainbow's got some competition.

>>43435251
Yeah, this is great.
Also, Anon's brain will surely crash when he wakes up between Dash and none other than Celestia herself.

>>43435430
What are you talking about, Celestia is always adopting foals with potential. This ain't some fantasy I'm writing up.

>>43435785
she never went as far as to get into bed with them while they were sleeping off the trauma... or asking their parents to be inducted into the family as a step-grandma...

>>43435354
Tank was very cute.

>>43435799
True, I'm inferring her actions based on what she did with Twilight and other students. Taking a mile when all we got is an inch.

>>43435806
don't let my criticism discourage you tho. it was kind of out there from the beginning, especially with the nightmare moon and pony of shadows part, and the whole "chase the colt around ponyville" game. but the green is still pretty good and I really like it. keep it comin.

>>43435785
>This ain't some fantasy I'm writing up.
It literally is though. Nothing wrong with that, but you are literally writing a fantasy. Not even just Celestia's reaction but Anon being able to do so much. Like, what do you mean a one-year old is investing?

>>43435354
Single stallion in town? Time to throw all the signals at him.

>>43435354
This was a very cute read. I would love to see a Anon and Dash pic of them with their matching shadow bolt costumes.

I got an idea
>Instead of Anon becoming Anonymous Rex via the ToH to replace Celestia and safeguard equestria in her stead, Anon becomes THE BBEG and takes the place of Grogar
>He knows his only reason to exist is to be the villain that gets defeated in the end
>At first he hated it and tried to be a "good" villain
>Failure after failure made Anon give up on being good and made him learn to enjoy his villainous role
>Doesn't become teh ebic grimdark megamurderer
>Something something joke involving Anon and Chrysalis but Chrysalis is the horny one in the dynamic
>Something something Chrysalis or some other villains try to recruit him to work with/under them
>Something something i just wanted an excuse to have an Anonstallion sing I'm The Bad Guy

>"So you... don't want to date me?"
>Anon bursts out laughing in Chrysalis's face
"Oh my- That is- You think that I- With you? Oh my- that is too good! I mean it's sad for you, but... Let me put this a way you idiots will understand."
"I'm not the damoiseau in distress."
"I'm not your coltfriend or the frightened prince."
"I'm not a little bird who needs your help to fly."
"Nope... I'm the bad guy."

"All these former Hero's that you see,
Each of them, with shaking knees, has knelt before me."
"So I'm not your teammate or your partner in crime."
"What am I, girls?"
"Captured Heros: He's the bad guy."

"Oh, it's magic"
"To watch a hamlet"
"Shrivel up and die."
"Oh, it's thrillin'"
"To be a villain."
"I destroy their homes and then I watch them cry."
"'Cause I'm the bad guy!"

"Oh, it is fantastic."
"I see something, I BLAST it!"
"And let me tell you why."
"I've always had a weakness"
"For barrenness and bleakness."
"I crush all your hopes and then I watch you cry."

"See, I find this business rather fun!
I don't want your assistance or your adulation!"
"I'll annihilate your artifacts and bid ya bye-bye!"
"Why?"
"Come on, GUESS!"
>"B-because you're the bad guy?"
"You're Harmony damned right!"

>>43436912
i've had the idea in my head for a while of a Saturday Morning Cartoon type villain character that somehow peers past the fourth wall and finds out that the Good Guys are literally fated to always win with the Power of Friendship and goes a little nuts. you could do that kind of thing pretty well with an Evil Anon Pony Wizard guy i bet, since he has the requisite meta knowledge (as a former human internet dickhead) to know he's fated to lose but still be stubborn and stupid enough (again, former human internet dickhead) to double down on being a Bad Guy anyways.

i imagine he'd dedicate himself to beating the Good Guys entirely out of petulant spite for Harmony/Destiny/the scriptwriters/God/whatever. you could make him a legitimate threat that takes the edgelord villain role way too seriously for his own good or you could have him go totally nuts and act like some kind of fourth wall-breaking Pinkie Pie/Skeletor hybrid wannabe. maybe even both at once, i bet someone better at writing than me could pull that off.

>>43436912
>"I've always had a weakness"
>"For barrenness and bleakness."

>"B-B-But I'm queen of the badlands! You can't get any more barren and bleak than that!"

>Luna glides into the landing room.
>"We brought you into it. We're not at our full strength yet so the dream is desolate."
"Got it. So the cookies in the jar?"
>"Aren't there sadly."
"Now I am sad."
>Smile cheekily as you trot past the kitchen and up the stairs to your room.
"Any reason why we're in a dream then?"
>"To help you. You were falling into despair."
"That bad huh?"
>Open the door into your room.
"Now you're going to be the first filly I've ever brought into my room. We'll have to behave or I'm grounded."
>Luna gives you a side eye with a small side smirk.
>"We'll be on our best behavior then."
>Hop up on your cloud bed and sit down.
"So what's the plan?"

>Night sky is outside the window.
>Stars twinkle brilliantly with the blue moon.
>She's got her domain down at least.
>"Anon, you died."
>That makes you sit up straight.
>"Skillful medics brought you back, but that experience is still there. We need to address that first."
>On her side of your room, it morphs into a familiar pleasant grove.
>She opens her wing, telling you to come to her side.
>Luna steps in circles before laying down.
>Shrug as you nestle yourself beneath her wing.

>get told you died
Anon's in for a wild ride

>>43437546
>"Anon, you died."
I think this will hit Anon even harder as time goes on. He will slowly realize that despite all of his work and preparation, he was this close to blowing it. That can rattle his confidence pretty badly.

>>43437546
>>43437866
>>43438182
there's no way this will go well. and once again, they're getting real close to discovering the secret which must not become known...

>>43435354
Jealous Rainbow cute nuke inbound.

>>43438224
Yeah, you're right. That's in its own way worse than dying.

>>43438224
>>43438426
It is Anon’s greatest fear.

>>43435329
I wonder if there is a better term for godmother. It is a very Christian thing (for the most part). What would ponies use?

>>43438623
Going based on earth, simply heard member.
Pretty sure the foals of a group of horses belong to the group, but I don't know horses very well and that idea might not always pan out proper.

>Sitting around a campfire at your request.
>Stare at the dancing flames.
“I would do it again. Not because I want to die, but if some-pony else was in danger I would want to help them.”
>Luna stirs the fire just by looking at it.
>“We would wish that you would never have to make that decision again.”
“It would be terrible. I don’t know if my mom would survive losing me.”
>If her reaction to Tank hibernating is anything to go by.
>He wasn’t even dying.
“I’m glad the Tree of Harmony was able to heal me so deeply. The stress was burning me.”
>”Not fully we fear. There was a revelation that made you burn out.”
>Great, it gets more complicated.
“Do we have time for that? You’ve been working all day and night. You have to be exhausted.”
>”It has to be done now before you wake up. Rest will be our reward when the task is finished.”
“Let’s get started then.”
>Luna does not look eager.
>She sighs and shores up strength.
>A cool breeze makes the flames tremble.
>You remember the Tree of Harmony being whole again.
>Then it asks you.
>Where is your cutie mark?
>The thing that makes a whole pony, and yours is missing.
>Something deep within you is terrified, the pony that you are.
>There’s a hole here, even if you can’t see it.
>Human you?
>Just a mantra starting to repeat.
>‘No free rides to Equestria.’
>Just as it starts to rise, it gets settled with a cool kiss to the forehead.
>”None of that. Anon, your fears shall not stay rooted. They shall have no place to reside in you.”
“But what do I do? Sweet providence help me, what do I do?”
>Was your life so full of hate?
>Do you lack faith?
>”We will shield you from sadness, worry, and madness. Anon, let your loyalty be rewarded. Everypony will support you.”
>Can feel her words soaking in unusually well.
>She’s making sure you stay calm.
>”Anon, this is an attack upon you. Neither Celestia or myself have heard or seen anything like this. It does not make you less of a pony. We will help you right this wrong.”
>Never heard of this happening.
>Wait a moment, really?
>What about the others?
>Luna studies you as you think.
>”Care to enlighten? What are you thinking about it?”
>What happens if the truth is found out?
>It would change everything, and you doubt for the better.
>Time to be careful.
“The Pony of Shadows, do you think he had something to do with it?”
>Princess Luna shifts her weight to better look at you.
>”My sister and I were discussing that on the way to our hospital. That thing has been a worry since that night it revealed itself. Whatever part it plays must be addressed, whether instigator or tool.”
“I’m still unsure how he pulled it off.”
>”Take whatever he said to you with great hesitancy. He was trying to drown you into despair to be a better host. He is a liar most likely.”

>>43436912
>Mirror world anon rex

>>43438977
>Him lying to you is a possibility, but there has to be a grain of truth somewhere.
>You are here after all.
>”We aren’t done here, but I feel comfortable releasing you to the waking world.”
>Lean into her neck to nuzzle her.
>Luna quietly gasps, but quickly returns the gesture.
“Thank you.”
>Season 1 Luna is the cutest.
>”I should tell you before you wake. You’ve stolen Celestia’s heart.”
>Wat?
>”Don't be so surprised. Foals have always had a tender spot in her heart. Like Twilight before you, she has become invested in your well-being. We will be more involved in your life.”
>Celestia must feel your death was her responsibility.
>Triggering a protective response.
>This is not what you expected to have happened.
>Things have really gotten out of control.
>Can’t assume this is a bad thing, just a different thing.
>”Do not be hesitant. This is still our decision, godson.”
>Such earnestness makes you tremble.
“Okay, God-mom.”
>Pull away from her side and face her.
>Hold out your left wing towards her.
>Luna does the same, then pushes her wing into yours, interlocking the feathers.
>Feel her magic interweave with your own.
>Like a chilled winter evening, without the bite.
>You feel yours become familiar with hers.
>”We’ll have to do this again when we wake up. Anon, we care for you. Many ponies care for you. Please don’t forget.”
>Can feel yourself waking up.
>Luna is your God-mom now, treat her like one.
“Love you mom.”
>That makes her beam with joy.

>>43438982

luna you right thieving bitch

greedy astral parasite
you ate up every scrap.

Celestia jumped in bed before he opened his eyes and grabbed him in her hooves and you still managed to get to him first.

Hilarious. Well played lunatic sovereign. Keep up the good work.

>>43438982
>Dash as a mother and both Princesses at his side

I don't think real horses have much in the way of complexity when it comes to social dynamics.

>>43439794
They have a full herd structure. You can bet they have all kinds of dynamics within that.

>Smell isn't familiar, this place is different.
>Dash is hugging you tight enough that you might need a crowbar to pry you free.
>No one else is in the room.
>Well, not anymore.
>Celestia must have been here recently because you can smell her.
>Her air is very unique as well.
>Must have just left to raise the sun.
>Probably to lower the moon as well if Luna was busy all night with you.
>Right, you need to go to the restroom.
>Try to wiggle free, only for Rainbow to pull you in tighter.
>Wheeze out your request.
"Please let me go."
>"No."
>She's awake, and being a pain.
"I really need to go to the restroom, and you're about to squeeze it out of me."
>There is a pause, you really hoped she would have released you faster than this.
>"Hmm."
"Don't hmm!"
>"Fine. Guess making a mess would be trouble, but we're getting a shower as well."
>’We’ means communal shower.

>Restroom!
>Restroom is big.
>Good grief this might be bigger than the dining room.
>Big ponies get big showers.
>Take care of business, wash the limbs, then turn on the shower.
>That should at least let Dash know you're ready.
>More bottles then you know what to do with.
>Rainbow is like a guy with a single bottle that covers mane, coat, and tail.
>What is this, conditioner for each color type?
>Celestia you have a magic mane, what are you doing?
>There's a knock at the door before it opens.
"Should be warm soon, do you have any idea what we should use?"
>Slowly look up from the mysterious conditioner.
>A naked Celestia has invaded the room.
>She has a small smirk as she picks up the bottle with magic.
>"Not that one. Now, how do you feel about a bubble bath?"
>Rainbow closes the door behind her.
>"Eh, never really had one. Oh right, Anon, Princess Celestia has something important to tell you."
>Feel magic pick you up to eye level with Celestia, she has a fun grin as she nuzzles your nose.
>"Can you guess?"
"Princess Luna is my godmother?"
>Celestia's face falls slightly.
>"Oh that mare, stealing my thunder."
"Oops, my bad."
>Get dumped into the water for your terrible humor.
>Dash cannonballs, almost tossing you out of the bathtub.
>Shake your mane as you emerge from the turbulent bath.
>White wings grab you safely and pull you close.
>A sponge appears in your peripheral vision.
>"Rainbow, let's get this colt clean."
>"With what!? You have like 10 different bars of soap."
>"Grab the green one. Smells like pine. It's rough so it'll help really get the grit out."
"This is getting ridiculous."
>"I'll do the mane and coat. There is a feather parasite cleaner you can use on his wings. After all the visits to the Everfree Forest I'm sure he's got plenty of hitchhikers."
"I keep myself clean of pests! Aunt Fluttershy's birds peck me clean."
>Rainbow eventually opens the bottle.
>"Then I guess I better check to see how well they're doing."
"You're both next."

>Rainbow follows suit, who then has to duck when Celestia's gargantuan swan wings shake everywhere.
"So where's the rest of the family?"
>Dash groans and drags her damp wings across her face.
>"Great. They don't know either. Celestia, my mom is a real fanatic about you."
>"A little infatuation is something I can handle."
>"She would pray to you everyday at mealtime if she could."
>"Ah, part of that order."
>Churches aren't really a thing in Equestria, but fan clubs are.
"Order of the Sun's Grace. She's been a member for as long as I can remember. She's got a lot of plates with your face on them. I got one for one of my birthdays. Ate my birthday cake on it, just how you would like it."
>Celestia doesn't grimace, she ponders mistakes.
"We could keep it just between us."
>"Hush, I don't need you saying my terrible ideas out loud as I think them."
>Rainbow shakes her head.
>"I'll let you announce that. Anon, I noticed something when I was cleaning your wings. Somepony else?"
"That's Princess Luna. While I was dreaming we did the wind touch."
>Dash raises an eyebrow.
>"That worked in a dream? That's some crazy stuff."
>Both of you look at Celestia's albatross sized wings.
>Those took the longest to clean between the two of you.
>Princess fluffs them, unconsciously or flexing, you're not sure.
"Do you want to?"
>Rainbow places her own wing on your head.
>"Careful kiddo, she's packing some air. Don't get too eager and get overwhelmed."
>"Rainbow, I will be utmost careful. Our doctor would be upset if he had to realign Anon's flow after working so hard on him yesterday."
>Luna's wing is one thing, she's still low power.
>Celestia can cover you three times over.
>Alicorn wings are so different as you discovered when you were helping clean them.
>Like holding out a baby's hand, you stretch out your wing.
>Dash does the same next to you.
>Celestia extends her wing over the both of you, then slowly aligns to mix wing into wing.
>"Hmm, it has been a very long time since I've done this with a foal. I forgot just how youthful your air is. Very energetic."
>You don't say anything, but goodness you can feel the difference.
>She's holding back, and you can tell just how vast the heat is.
>"Whoa, that is so awesome. You have a ton of different weather spins."
>Rainbow, being the weather genius she is, reads it faster.
>"Is that, fire?"
>Celestia actually beams at that.
>"Well done, Rainbow."
"I don't follow."
>Mom pats you on the head.
>"Fire can be a factor in weather, but a very rare one. Not often you need a forest fire nowadays, but some pegasi's wind can control blazes. Guess I shouldn't be surprised you can, Celestia."

make up some story about some events going on in the dragon lands or whatever and you're going to go cover that story then disappear off the map and live off grid for a few years

>>43444741
Already not on track. Either the universe self corrects and this relationship is doomed which means there's small harm in trying, or the original timeline is simply not relevant anymore, or both.

If it's both, then you get to bang the pink bongoes but during the show you'll always just be slightly off screen and never mentioned and she's also still banging shining.

>Angel Bunny kicks your hind leg.
>"Don't even think for a moment that was your fault."
>He's thumbing his foot on the ground, classic frustrated bunny behavior.
>Trip back home was a quiet one for all the animals.
>Except for one.
>"Wow! Look! Where?"
>Lupine is exuberant like a, well, puppy.
>Such enthusiasm should be infecting you, and it is to an extent.
>She doesn't talk full sentences yet, but that should change in a few months.
"My home, Lupine. Which is now you're home as well."
>"Smells! Smells, smells, smells."
>She thrusts her nose to the ground and serpentine around.
>Harry carefully watches his step as she weaves around his paws.
>"Well, you did say you wanted to care for a Timberwolf. How do we take care of her?"
"Fertilizer and water mostly."
>Angel Bunny gives the tiny monster dog a side eye.
>"Right, and then bunny foot as a side dish? Who are we kidding?"
"Angel, Timberwolves are territorial. Their preferred diet is detritus like fungi. They attack animals and ponies out of aggressive fear."
>"Smell Anon! Where? Here?"
>That makes most of the animals sigh sadly.
"Not today dear. He's at a hospital."
>Lupine stops, scrunches her snout, and shakes her head.
>"Hos-hos-al. Hmm."
>"Hospital you woodworm magnet. Ponies go there when they're hurt."
"Angel, be nice."
>He 'bahs' and throws his paws in the air in a 'whatever' tone.
>Lupine doesn't seem to understand much, but she does focus on 'hurt'.
>"Hurt. Lot hurt inside. It chased, hurt Anon. Anon fine, right?"
>Turn to your side and point to your cutie mark.
"This is a cutie mark. Ponies get these when they know who they are."
>"Not Anon?"
"A foal, er puppy, pony get theirs when they find who they are. Mine is butterflies."
>"Fun chase."
"When I talk, play, care, love animals like you, my cutie mark came to me because of all that. I was close to Anon's age."
>"Cutie. Mark."
>Seems to be understanding.
>"Anon's cutie mark?"
>Angel kicks dust alongside you.
>"Gone, vanished, stolen. Complete nonsense. How do you steal something before it shows up? Stupid, stupid, I hate it."
"I don't know."
>"Of course you don't know, who would!? How do we win against that stupid giant monster, and still walk away like we lost? It's so...stupid!"
>He glances up to Bruce, still sleeping under your wing.
>"Maybe we can get a straight story out of him."
>Most of the animals have nestled themselves into their home burrows.
>Tank has been sitting in the middle room rug, waiting.

>>43449909
>He blinks as Lupine sniffs him, then moves on to a new smell.
"Tank, oh sweetie, what are you waiting for?"
>Slowly he turns his head up to you.
>"Rainbow Dash."
>Tilt your head, he was home here.
"Why?"
>"I'll tell you."
>What followed was an enrapturing story, most of the animals listened intently as Tank told what happened.
>"We worked hard to lift that thing. Very heavy, but I didn't give up."
>Sniffle at that, almost want to break out in tears.
>Angel Bunny pats him on the shell.
>"Buddy, you saved the day. Rainbow would have never made it in time if it wasn't for you. Well done."
>Tank smiles, if he could blush he would.
>"Thanks. So Anon and Rainbow?"
"Anon had to go to the hospital."
>A slow blink is your answer at first.
>"Oh. Oh no."
>Lupine bounces her way back into the living room.
>"Cutie Mark. Find it?"
>Harry sits down, making everyone bounce a little when he does.
>"Lupine, someone took it. Not lost. Taken. I don't know if a hospital can help. Anon needs a smart magical unicorn. Maybe Twilight?"
"He has ponies that will help him now. More reliable ponies."
>Several animals protest your comment.
>This is still on you.
>Angel is pulling his ears down.
>"We saw what happened! Rainbow Dash was also right there. This isn't all on you! Manure happens, and we all worked together to make the best of it."
"Anon died."
>Bunny pauses, and rubs the back of his head.
>"I know."
>Start to go on autopilot getting the food for all of them.
>"Mom died."
>Freeze from that.
>Lupine staring at the floor.
>"Anon saved me. Anon died. I'm sorry."
"No, no, no Lupine. This isn't your fault."
>Take her up in your hooves.
"You were both in a very dangerous place and very brave."
>"He cried."
>Bruce's voice makes you sit up.
>He sounds so tired.
>"We were stuck, hoping to see you again. It was horrible in there. Fluttershy, he was scared the entire time, but we wanted to see you again. When he sees you again, please don't forget to smile."
>Smile.
>It'll have to be a real one, he'll be able to tell that you're faking it.
>You'll need to see the girls tomorrow.
>Need help to work through this.
>Maybe Pinkie can help you get a smile.
>For now, you have a new family member to take care of.
>Anon is relying on you to help Lupine.
>Pat her on the head as her tongue pokes out slightly.
"Let's get you a nice snack before bed."

>>43449909
>>43449912
good stuff as always. it'll be kek when Fluttershy hears that Anon has 2 more moms. but the relationship between a colt and a pet timberwolf will be interesting. it's probably the equivalent of a boy having a wild lion cub for a pet. I'm looking forward to see how that goes.

>>43449912
Ah, the weight of the world on such gentle shoulders. Poor shy. I can't even joke about tittymilk...this time.

I just hope she can hug it out with someone.

>>43449912
damn, poor Flutters needs a hug
I like how you write the animals, it's fun

for those who want to read it in the thread
>>43435340
>There are a few ponies she goes the extra mile for in her prankings though
>Specifically her closer friends
>Something you're able to witness firsthand- hoof- whatever
>Your first target is Pinkie Pie
>If she can be found as she darts from house to house gathering candy
>"There she is, go" Rainbow whispers into your ear as she shifts you out of the cloud
>You easily slip your wings out into a glide
>Hovering over the mare, you finally take in the costume, a vibrant purple coat over her literal pink coat, a brown top hat and a thick, faded gold bowtie
>You flip in the air to hang upside down, altering how you flap your wings to keep you elevated as you dip in front of her face suddenly
"Boo!"
>It wasn't supposed to necessarily scare her
>But you were at least expecting signs of a flinch
>A jolt in movement
>A blink
>Something
>Instead the pink mare just continues to scare at you with a small smile
"Really, nothing?" You ask with a shrug
>The mare giggles into her hoof
>"Oh, Anon, you silly goose, boo isn't scary upside down. Then it's just "oop" you know?"
"If it was upside down, wouldn't that mean the b would make it "p-"" You start before a hoof goes to your mouth
>She shushes you, outright surprising you
>"Careful, Anon, the Cakes have the twins out tonight. They can't go back to Sugarcube Corner knowing bad words" She says, as if it were the most obvious thing
>You glance around, and see neither hide nor hair of the bakery ponies you're vaguely familiar with
>With a sigh you turn upright and land
"Ah, well, worth a shot. Boo, etc."
>This time she leaps into the air and lets out a shriek before landing and lets out a huff
>She then reaches back into the air, where her top hat had remained after she landed and popped it back on her head
>"Gee, you scared me there, Anon" She says, a hoof over her chest and a smile on her face
>You know her well enough to know she's not mocking you
>But you can't tell whether she's being serious or not
>Maybe she just takes this whole thing really seriously
>Either way, you have her distracted
>Step one; complete
>Step two; keep her distracted, the actual hard part
"So, Pinkie..." You start
>Shit, you have nothing to talk about
>She makes a noise that's like a mix between an excited squeal. the squeak of a toy and a coo
>"Come on, Anon, you don't have to be shy. I know exactly why you're here"
>Damn it, she knows
>Of course she does, Dash even told you she used to do pranks with her
>"You're nervous about asking for a 'Welcome to Ponyville' party even though you've already been here so many times"
>Or there's that
You chuckle and rub the back of your neck "What gave me away?"
>"My Pinkie sense" She says simply
>She's not even dressed in red and blue spandex to make that joke
>"I've noticed it needed a bit of fine tuning for you, like it can't get a read on you" She says with a lightness
>Crap, not another one

>>43450646
>"It must know we're gonna be great friends!" She cheers with a chuckle. "Now-" She pulls a notebook from her mane and jabs to it with a pen "I need the skinny, see"
>The entire time of this back and forth, your peripherals have been watching Dash
>And you have no idea what she's doing
>First she started opening clouds up and looking inside them for... something
>Then she flew around the surrounding buildings and peered inside them
>She's even gotten so far as to start lifting pebbles to look
>Great, you're dealing with two strange mares
>"I already know how many ponies to invite, the who, the why the when, the where, the what." Pinkie says, using multiple hooves to list her words. "Now I just need the how, who, why, when, where and what."
>Your brain pauses briefly as it tries to unscramble what she just said
"...come again?" You ask, leaning forward slightly
>Again, she giggles
>"I know how many ponies you'd want invited" she leans forward a hoof resting on the side of her muzzle, as if whispering a secret
>A secret about yourself
>To you
>"It's not that many." She then leans back and continues. "But how do you want the party to be, loud, quiet, lots of games, lots and lots of games, a little lot of games? That sort of thing"
>You're almost surprised by how much effort she's putting into this, but not quite
>Eventually you start to go through what feels like a game of twenty questions
>What games you like
>Favourite musicians, though you didn't know these ponies had any with how they can occasionally break into spontaneous songs themselves
>Your favourite colour
>Your favourite colour if green didn't exist (your answer didn't change)
>The entire time, you're almost certain she's just playing tic-tac-toe but you can't prove it
>You're also starting to think the prank is on you as Rainbow is still looking in the most random locations for nothing
>A foal's candy basket
>Inside a different pony's costume
>Then she finally pauses as her eyes track back over to you two
>She places a hoof to her muzzle and flies over, silent as a bat in the night
>Pinkie's moved on to asking you what the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is
>You do your best not to look directly at Rainbow, but she's making it very hard
>She rises on her hindhooves, forehooves primed above her head
>Then, she dives
>And disappears
>Into Pinkie's tail
>Confound these ponies
>After a few more questions a prismatic tail pokes out of Pinkie's before Rainbow emerges, gasping for air
>Whipping around, Pinkie gasps too, but excitedly
>"Dashie!" She squeals before squeezing the blue pegasus tight
>"Heya- Pinkie-" Dash gasps out in the crushing hug
>"I just got done finalizing Anon's party! It's gonna be a blast!" She cheers
>Rainbow tilts her head at you, and does nothing
>Is she winking at you?
>"What kinda blast, Pinkie Pie?" Dash asks with half a chuckle
>"A bigger one than THIS!" Pinkie cheers as she pulls out of nowhere-
>Is that a cannon?

>>43450650
>It looks like something you'd pull off the broadside of a pirate ship, slapped onto wheels and painted blue
>Though she pulls its fuse, it doesn't go off
>"Huh." Pinkie mutters before sticking her head in
>The next moment, the cannon goes off in her face
>Rainbow guffaws and falls onto her back in a fit of laughter
>You just gawk at the sight, you were expecting the unexpected from Dash, but not that
>Pinkie turns around, and Rainbow's laughter renews while yours starts
>Her face is covered in cotton candy that nearly blends perfectly with the rest of her
>Somehow her mane is even more ridiculous than before as the top hat now sits atop a tower of pink candy, with a beard to match
>Pinkie glances down at herself and starts laughing too
>As the three of you devolve into your hysterics Pinkie keeps it going every time she pulls off a piece to eat
>With a grin, she bounces over to Rainbow
>"Thanks for the snack, Rainbow, this'll keep me going in between the houses"
>Rainbow barely gets her words out without snickers "No problem, Pinkie Pie, anyti- heHA-" She stops as she clutches her stomach and shudders out a laugh
>"But hey, one good turn deserves another." Pinkie begins, before pulling out a second cannon. "Wouldn't you two agree?"
>You and Rainbow share a look, mentally agreeing you're in danger
>Faster than you or even Rainbow, Pinkie pulls the fuse and the two of you get showered by a burst of noise and something from the cannon
>When it feels safe to open your eyes, you do, and laugh at the state of Rainbow Dash
"You looks like you crashed into the rainbow mixer" You cackle
>A multi-hued hunk of cotton candy has stuck to Rainbow
>She looks at herself and chuckles, then laughs as she points at you
>"You're one to talk, dude"
>You look down at yourself and lick at some of the green cotton candy hanging from your own face
>Mint chocolate chip?
>You didn't even know they made cotton candy that flavour
>"Any good?" Rainbow asks, then nips at your face candy before you can answer
>She hums through her mouthful and nods
>You grumble and snatch a piece of her rainbow cotton candy from her face and eat
>The two of you chuckle then laugh fully
>"Pinkie Pie, you're a riot!" Rainbow says as she turns to the friend
>"You two too!" She cheers as she briefly rears up to kick her hooves in joy. "See you 'round"
>As she bounces away, you hear her chuckle as she mutters variations of "two too", "to two", "too too", "tutu", and, eventually, "choo choo" before starting a conga line of foals, complete with train engine noises
>Rainbow chuckles and lightly smacks you
>"Come on, there's plenty more pranking to do" She says as she rockets back up to your cloud
>You follow after her, surprised when you realize how much of your own cotton candy you've eaten
>There's a less than zero percent chance that you're gonna ask her for several bags of the stuff
>"So, where to next?" Rainbow asks, clearly pumped

>>43450652
>You briefly relax, willing to let her decide, until some happy cries from foals pull your notice
>A hay cart ride, pulled by a very familiar red stallion
>A smirk cracks your face as you turn to Rainbow
"How do you feel about getting one over on Applejack?"
>"I say, why stop at just one?" She grins back at you, your faces near enough
>You imagine the two of you must look like a villain pair from wacky races as you all but drive around on a cloud causing mischief
>Sweet Apple Acres is just as you remember it
>Positively bucolic
>The epitome of the term "rural"
>Downright idyllic
>You can't wait to cause some mayhem
>"So, big guy, what've you got up your sleeves?" Dash asks
>You muse briefly before an idea pings into your head
"Wait here" You smirk at her before taking off back into town
>You're not usually one for speed
>Maybe it's the cool night breeze
>Maybe it's the fact you haven't forced yourself to fly up so far that you pass out
>Or maybe it's even the skin-tight latex
>Either way, you rush through the town in what you can only imagine is a blur
>None the less, it's easy for you to grab what you desired
>Assorted fruits of every shape, size, and colour
>You're there and back before she can get bored
>Which is a definite testament to your speed
"Hold these" You declare without explanation
>She grunts then laughs, "What is this?" she says, looking over your haul
"Revenge" You say dramatically
>You still haven't forgiven her for distracting you and making your breakfast soggy
>Rainbow lets out that scratchy laugh that makes you smile
>"Okay, Mister Vengeance~" She says, poking you. "Let's see what you've got"
>First stop, bobbing for apples
>A classic
>But the future is now, old mare
>You wait as Applejack walks happily by as a group take their turn
>Most fail, some get an apple that slips at the last second, one succeeds
>Applejack shows off by going in backwards and pulling one out
>You initially think she's dressed as a lion, but then you see bat wings and a scorpion tail
>Rainbow leans over and hisses a whisper
>"Oh, she deserves this, she totally stole my idea!"
>You give Rainbow a scrutinizing look as you furrow your brows and look her up and down
>She pushes your shoulder lightly
>"Not like that obviously!" She states, still in a whisper so you don't draw your target's attention. "I mean, we fought a manticore when dealing with Nightmare Moon too. She's basically copying me."
>Your grin sharpens into a smirk as you shake your head at the mare
>Seems her competitive nature spreads to anyone else
>Eventually, Applejack passes, and so do the other ponies
>With precision, you roll the cloud between your hooves, thinning part of it into a line, tie it around your waist, and begin to rappel down
>You hum a familiar tune to yourself for this daring heist
>You stop just above the dunk tank
>No pony around
>And take the plunge
>You emerge with every apple in hoof, and tug the cloud line
>Luckily Rainbow understands and pulls you up

>>43450655
>"Dude, you know you can fly, right?" She asks, snickering
"Well, yeah, but that was more fun" You reply
>Slipping from the cloud harness you fly the apples and dump them in a random part of the farm
>When you return, you snicker at seeing Rainbow dangling from the cloud rope and failing to pull herself up
"You know you can fly, right~?" You ask as you grab some fruits from your horde
>"Hardy har," Rainbow says, "now help me with this-" She grunts
>You hum in thought for a moment
"Nah" You say as you descend back to the bobbing tank
>"What do you mean nah!? Anon!" It's a whispered yell, still not wanting to be heard
>Ignoring the mare, you let out a quiet, maniacal laugh as you drop varying fruits in to the tub of water
>Bananas
>Pears
>A whole pineapple
>Damn this is a deep bobbing tank
>Before you can laugh again, you hear voices and race back up to the cloud
>Where Dash still isn't flying up
>She gives you a challenging grin
>You chuckle back and grab her in your hooves as you hover back up into the cloud with her
>She hums the old heist tune with you in strangely perfect harmony
>The you of a few months ago would have questioned it
>The you of today laughs with Rainbow as you fly deeper behind enemy lines as you hear a small "ow!" from behind you as somepony pricks their mouth on pineapple rind
>"That was great! What next?" Rainbow asks eagerly
"Your choice, the farm is our oyster"
>You're fully aware you're getting far too invested in this
>And you no longer care
>Neither does Dash
>It's infectious
>Even with the mask, her eyes widen enough to stretch it and show you how excited she is
>Her mane whips around with her head
>"Oh! Oh! Dunk tank! Gotta be the dunk tank" She declares and the two of you immediately veer the cloud
>"Now, my young apprentice," she says as she takes an orange in hoof, "that last one was good, now, watch a master"
>You sit back and watch as Rainbow rears back, as if lining up a shot as a pony prepares their own throw
>Then, in a surprisingly small shift of air, she's gone
>Then she's back
>Holding the apple
>You look back, and an orange sails from the pony's hoof and splats against the dunk tank's panel, but doesn't drop Granny Smith
>"H'wat in tarnation!?" The older pony says
>You have no words, the speed, the subtelty
>All you can do is applaud, you truly are in the presence of a master
>"Yes, yes, thank you, thank you" Rainbow chuckles as she bows
>After a brief back and forth with Applejack, who looks around suspiciously, the games continue
>Except this time, you switch a bundle of grapes into the bowl of apples
>A pony's hoof squashes them, causing them to jerk back and groan in disgust
>Applejack once again angrily looks around, and especially long at the sky
>She doesn't have any proof you're up there
>But she still glares
>She "raggin' fraggin'"s all the way back to the barn, and the two of you take your chance to slip away
>Of course, you can't stop at just two

>A watermelon, opened, and its contents pushed into the empty space behind the bell of a strong-pony game
>"Rainbow Dash! I know that's your tail!"
>She's half inside the cloud you're hiding in, and you shrug
>There's a look of rapid thoughts on her face before she pokes her head out
>"Oh, hey, AJ, what's up?" She says casually
>"Don't you "what's up" me!" You hear the apple mare stomp her hoof "I know it's you been runnin' rampant through my farm"
>"I have no clue what you're on about, AJ" Dash says. "I just got here, wanted to see how you set up"
>There's a sound of metal tinking as she pokes the strong-pony bell
>"Not impressed, this bell barely dings" She goads
>"Cause yer doin' it wrong, RD" Applejack scoffs
>"Oh, please, like you could do any better" You don't have to see her eyes to know Dash is rolling her eyes for added effect
>"Oh yeah?"
>She isn't
>You part the cloud just a smidge
>She is
>She took the bait
>You grin as you watch the manticore mare take the hammer in her mouth, rear up and slam it down
>Rainbow tucks in close beside you to squeeze into the cloud
>The sound of a bell being struck rings out loud and clear
>Applejack's annoyed yell rings out louder and clearer
>You and Rainbow half hang out of the cloud in your bursts of laughter that only redouble at the sight of the mare now practically dyed pink
>Even though she fumes with anger, you see her mouth sputter with barely contained laughs of her own
>"A- ANON! I shoulda know y- you'd be in on this!" She says halfway through chuckles
"SUR-PRISE!" You cheer as you grab the various remaining fruit and throw them clear of the cloud
>You and Rainbow continue to laugh as fruits rain down on the farm
>A southern laugh pulls your attention to see Applebloom and her friends laughing as they begin a small food fight
>"I'll get you two back for this!" Applejack declares
"Oh, I look forward to it, Applejack" You respond with a smirk. "But first, let me just say," the farm pony waits with a glare just as you point to a different cloud with a hoof, "nice plow"
>She turns and gawks at the plow you had once again picked up and placed there
"Just like old times, right AJ?" You say her nickname with a smug grin
>Rainbow cackles as she sees what you did behind her back
>You’ll pull it down tomorrow
>Probably
>That seemed to be the straw that breaks the mare's back as it gets her to redouble her yelling, and her smile
>The two of you ignore her as you turn your cloud and soar back towards Ponyville
>"Dude! That was awesome!" Rainbow says, breathless and voice hoarse from all the laughing
>Before you can respond, your stomach rumbles, and Rainbow's does so as well in response
"And exhausting. Food?" You ask, turning to the mare
>"Food" She says simply

and then it flows back into >>43435341
the actual continuation of the green is still in the works

>>43450658
His party is going to be full of ponies who want prank revenge.

>>43450817
Sounds like a great time then!

>>43450658
very nice thanks sunn! looking forward to the next part.

>>43450470
Pinkie or Rarity are always down to hug her.

>>43450658
Gawd. That was so tender, in a way. Like an idiot couple being idiots together in way that only the two of them can be.

Was looking at the anonicorn thread archive on ponepaste and was wondering what P.D. anon was? I know that it was a batpony private detective anon but dont remember if there was any long greens or anything with him.

>>43449912
>Back to being Anon, yeah I know, another scene transition.
>Family is happy to yap away about staying at the castle.
>Personally you feel there are places in Cloudsdale that are grander.
>Bias for cloud cities.
>Windy Whistle has been scooting closer and closer to Celestia the entire time.
>"Princess, it has been an honor being graced by your hospitality."
>Celestia politely smiles, looks like she's ready to lean back.
>"Young Whistle, by all means, enjoy your time here."
>Dash wipes the milk mustache off her face, then leans over to bite down on Whistle's tail to pull her back.
>"Easy mom. Don't smother her."
>It sounds like grinding stone with every centimeter Windy is dragged back into place.
>"Smother!? Oh Dashie, you know I taught you better than that. Celestia's light can't be smothered by us. Only embraced."
>And put on coffee cups, plates, and little plaques with scripture, sorry, quotes to remember.
>"I'll behave. Don't you worry about that."
>Whistle pats Dash on the back with her wing.
>Then pauses.
>Her eyes widen as she slowly drags her wing off her daughter's back.
>Rainbow was in mid bite with her melon when she realizes her mom was inches away from her face.
>"Yeah?"
>"Dash, did you join wings with somepony recently? I feel a different air."
"That was me."
>"I can tell you were there, but there's a warm air as well."
>Rainbow puts down her melon and turns to face her smiling mom.
>"Warm air huh?"
>Celestia taps her tall glass with a spoon.
>"I might as well. My dear little ponies."
>Ahhhhh!
>"My sister and I have become very involved in your colt's well being. After everything that has happened, I wish to continue to be a part of his bright future. I made a request from Rainbow Dash, to be his Godmother."
>That gets a few glancing looks from the maids and butlers.
>As expected, the rest of the family stare with jaws dropped.
>Could drop a feather and it would be louder.
>"What!?"
>Bow is sputtering with shock, checks his pulse, checks the pulse of his wife as she faints.
>Posey practically melts in her seat, too much excitement back to back if you had to guess.
>Breeze pats her on the head.
>"Really? I thought you adopted unicorns into your fold. Not that we're not honored, Princess Celestia."
>Zephyr drops his fork, slowly turns towards Dash and you.
>"You said yes, I take it."
"Pretty cool, huh?"
>"It's amazing!"
>Whistle jerks back up like a spring board after fainting.
>"And you shared wind! Oh Anon, this is wonderful. Our little colt is so incredible. Bow, where's the camera?"
>Glace at Dash as she nudges said camera back into a hiding spot.
"So what happens now?"
>Celestia stands up, letting her wings spread wide.
>"Now? We need to help you. No pony should lose their cutie mark. Rainbow, he'll need at least a week for my doctors to understand his case. I have already summoned cutie mark specialists."
"I'm going to need my homework from school."
>"Don't worry squirt, I'll fly back home to get that."

NatureAnon is usually shown hanging out in the everfree and hermiting there, but imagine if he just went off on a sea adventure instead. The ocean might not be a big as earth, but I'm sure there still alot of life for him to find deep below. In his human life he lived on a coastal town, and now he has the chance of his life by buying his own boat using the royal coffers. Immediantly tries to learn the water breathing spell so he can vibe underwater with the fishes. His crew love learning the sea shanties he sings, though some like "Barrett's Privateers' are a little morbid for them.

Where did the anonkirincoltfag go? I miss that story.

>>43452543
wouldn't that make him SailorAnon instead?

>>43452503
Boy, his family will need a time to digest this piece of news. Especially Bow and Windy will be brimming with energy for a while.
