Starlight couldn't help but cringe as she looked at Twilight Sparkle trying to start a conversation with Princess Celestia, only for another guest to arrive and greet her instead, forcing the poor mare to sit by and wait for them to leave, only for yet another pony to take their place.
Just walk around the Gala and come back later, when the guests are done greeting the princess, why is she still standing here? This is the most obvious course of action.
"Em, Prince-" "Princess Celestia, It is so wonderful to see you!" Twilight was interrupted once again, and Starlight started to really feel bad for the younger mare.
"Psst," She tried to catch her attention, But either she wasn't heard, or was ignored by the purple Unicorn, seeing as Twilight didn't turn to look at her.
Welp, So much for trying to be nice. Have fun standing around doing nothing all night.
"Excuse me, Miss Applejack," Applejack turned to see who called out to her, coming once more face to face with the blonde pony from before.
"Hey, Rarity was looking for you, did you talk to her yet?" She asked the Unicorn, getting a confused look in his eyes as a response and his lips silently mouthing "Rarity?"
"Ahem," Applejack turned her head once more, staring at a slightly shorter Earth Pony who almost seemed to blend into the background, even with the red dress she was wearing.
It might sound rude, and so Applejack wouldn't say it, but the mare honestly looked like a Background Character from one of those comic books Big Mac used to read.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there, How can I help you?" Applejack asked the lady before rattling off the wares that she was selling, from Apple Fritters to Apple Pie, Caramel Apple, and Apple Fries.
"Can you please show me your permit?" She asked, and It was Applejack's turn to once again be confused.
"Excuse me?"
"Your Permit? The waiver you signed? Any document on your person that pertains to the handling of this here food stand?"
"Emm, Just a second," Applejack told her and quickly ducked behind her stand, opening a small drawer and taking out a printed document.
"Here,"
The Mare took the paper and read it over, a neutral frown on her face as she combed the wording of the document before handing it back to Applejack and lifting her glasses up her nose.
"I'm going to need to ask you to take down your stand," She told her, and Applejack gaped in shock.
"Excuse me?!" She yelled at the two white ponies in front of her, causing the so-called 'Prince' to speak.
"I really don't know how things work in whichever town you arrived here from, but it is the proper procedure to sign waivers and gain a permit if one wants to open up a foo-" Applejack quickly interrupts him.
"I know what permits are gosh darn-it, I'm asking why you need me to take the stand down?!" She yelled at the Unicorn, he took a step back with an offended look on his face, looking at her from his higher point of view as if she said something so unbelievably stupid he was in awe.
"Because you aren't allowed to sell on Canterlot Castle grounds." Now it was the mare who answered, her tone clipped and business-like, the type AJ wasn't used to dealing with.
Especially on their home turf.
"But I-" Applejack tried to interject, only to pause as she heard a familiar voice screaming loudly.
Turning their heads to look at the source of the sound, Applejack smiled when she spotted one of her friends coming to help her in this situation, followed immediately by a confused frown when the friend she was looking at started sprinting full tilt in her direction, which turned to horror as the missile of a pony didn't seem to be slowing down at all!
"Oh no-" She heard the Unicorn say in a defeated town before the friend-shaped missile crashed into him, throwing the two ponies into a tangle of limbs on the ground.
"Don't worry Applejack! I caught the Evil Ghost Pirate Wizard!" The Pink earth pony said loudly as she stood on top of the downed body of the blonde Unicorn, the crowd of onlookers staring in silent shock at the scene.
The silence was broken by one of the nearby guards tackling Pinkie Pie onto the floor and placing cuffs on her hooves, "You Are Under arrest for Assault on the member of the crown!" The guard yelled before being joined by two other Pegasus guards and flew away, carrying the cuffed earth pony away as the crowd stared in shocked silence.
"Don't worry," The Silence ended once again when the white earth pony turned to Applejack, "She's not in any real trouble," She then grumbled under her, and Applejack could pick up the word "...Elements of Harmony..." somewhere in her grumbles.
"And I hope I don't need to ask you again to take down your Stand, Miss Applejack, This Castle has a strict set of rules that all guests must adhere to, National Heroes or Nobility matters not." She told her before moving to the downed prince and picking him off the ground, placing him on her back and effortlessly carrying him inside as he groaned in pain.
"And that's how it happened Your Highness, We did as you asked and kept a vigilant guard on the Prince." A Red Pegasus said as she and her two friends saluted the Princess of the Night.
"The Threat has been taken care of and placed in a cell," An Orange Pegasus added, followed by a nod from the third and final, Green Pegasus.
"Very Good..." Princess Luna said as she looked down the window of her room at the top of the castle, staring at the many ponies walking around the Gala like little ants.
"But Ma'am," The Green Pegasus said, "Won't she simply be released tomorrow morning because she's an Element of Harmony?"
Luna sighed at that question and shook her head slowly. "Alas, we can do nothing on the subject of Pinkie Pie's importance to the nation as the Element of Laughter, However, we are assured that she will learn her lesson to not- how do you say this? Glomp Prince Blueblood in the future," She said with a serious tone of voice, causing the two smaller-built Pegasus to almost burst out laughing at the Princess's usage of modern terminology.
"You may return to your prior duties now," Luna told the three Pegasi, receiving a quick salute from the trio before they flew out of her window and returned to the duty she assigned them.
"Applejack!" The pony in question sighed as she turned away from sadly packing up her stand, to look at the pony who called for her.
"What can I do for ya' Rarity?" She asked the Purple-Haired Unicorn, who was busy looking at the ponies around as if searching for somepony.
"I heard that Prince Blueblood was seen here again, do you know where he went?" Rarity asked her, and Applejack looked at the small path of ruined grass from where Pinkie Pie tackled him into a roll.
"He went inside, Rare," She told her, receiving a quick and thankful nod before her friend once again left her.
"...Maybe Spike still wants to hang out?"
I have a feeling when twilight finally does get around to realizing how rude she was she going to feel awful for ignoring a potential friend because she was too busy trying to chase after Celestia when it was clear that Celestia was unlikely to have time for her.
Well, here is where the narrative for the mane 6 is possibly going to start to severely deviate from the show I imagine. Outside of Starlight joining with Blueblood that is. With Pinkie in jail and AJ's stall closing, I don't see the GGG scene from the show playing out.
11627934
Obviously, it's going to deviate from Canon somewhat.
What's the point of making a human-turned-pony story where the MC is active in the main show but still keeps it to the canon?
Where's the fun in that?
We already deviated by having Luna get her full power earlier, Starlight joins Blueblood long before her introduction, The Yak-Pony relations are higher than ever before, and many more to come!
I don't want to make another cookie-cutter story where the MC does nothing to influence the main plot.
If you make an HIE story and try to keep the Human away from destroying the Canon, you better make it either a One-shot side story or a story that is totally irrelevant to the main series.
I like to write unique stuff, that's why I incorporate lesser-used characters and plot points like Raven Inkwell and Cosmos, into my work.
I don't want the Canon to remain the same.
And Blueblood doesn't know about the Canon anyway, so there's not much he can do about it without me writing him to be Out-of-character from his already established new persona.
Imagine being in a relaxing party when suddenly a fucking pink horse just decides to break all the bones on your body.
11627943
I wasn't questioning if it would deviate. It just seems like this is the first major deviation since it finally directly involves the mane 6.
So, let’s recap.
Twilight…same as canon.
Applejack has to take her stand down for lack of permit.
Rarity is having trouble tracking down Blueblood.
And Pinkie has been arrested for crimes against the crown.
I wonder how Fluttershy and Rainbow are faring?
To be fair to the main 6, they are the single string that ensures Equestria is not doomed as seen though Starlight timelines so a bit of lee way is expected. They also wield the most powerful weapon in the land.
Looking back at this event makes me think that Twilight should have brought the topic of the Apple Stand to Princess Celestia to ask for a permit or if it’s allowed/ find alternative way that is more effective to earn money for Granny’s new hip. Twilight did know Applejack’s motivation in the song and has instant access to comunícate to the highest authority in the land. Hope Applejack gets an explanation on why she could not have her stand since she seems a bit confused.
Also Pinkie is always right but time, action and place. Hope she’s ok since she was right technically.
Hope Blueblood doesn’t have any bones broken. Pinkie runs on cartoon logic but Prince Blueblood doesn’t so I’m unsure.
Applejack and Spike bonding!!!
Loving these changes!!!
Other note: I wonder how Starlight’s village is? I wonder if Discord is listening to this chaos from the garden.
I know nothing about Fate, so royalty with blonde hair and white/blue clothes summons an image of Ky Kiske from Guilty Gear to my mind. Kinda makes me wanna look for a GG/MLP crossover now...
11627943
And, let us be honest. Isn't that the point of any isekai fic? Where said MC is thrown into a situation so that he\she must bring about the story's end. For that is perhaps why your Human-turned-pony is, an isekai character
I mean, this has been quite entertaining so far, and I am traking this fic, along with your Storm King fic also, which is actually rather similar in idea.
11628111
They are similar in idea by being a Human turned Magical Creature, but that is mostly where the similarities end.
This story is taken more seriously and has more of a slice-of-life/adventure story.
While my Storm King story is for all intents and purposes, a Serious Crackfic with a much more heavier draw on the comedy and fourth wall meta narrative.
I'll actually say that the biggest difference between this story and The Storm King is the fact that in the Storm King story, the human got all of the memories, meanwhile here Newblood only has the last year to go off of.
Also the fact that the Storm King knows he's in a world run by cartoon logic and Blueblood doesn't, even though as I've shown, this story's workd is still cartoony.
I'm so glad that Applejack is going to hang out with Spike, this way both can talk happily on Pony Joes and enjoy their time together as friends. Telling funny stories until more members appear on there .XD
Cherry is red, and we all know, that RED GOES FASTA'!
"Why did your parents name you Cherry Pop?"
"Because naming a foal 'Cherry Bomb' is apparently illegal."
Pinkie being Pinkie. She did catch the Wizard but it was a bit too late lol.
11628314
Apparently the comics. And she's discord ex.
11628017
I don't know about that her pinkie sense is always right but the rest of the time she is a bit nuts sometimes she acts like she knows things that she shouldn't be able to know but there are others where she she needs to be helpful. Like with the parasprite she knew what they were and what they did but didn't really explain what she was doing to the others which made her look unhelpful when they were desperate to solve the problem.
11628224
"At least it's Pop and not Popper."
11627943
I subscribe to every word. I think that all authors should pray for these words. No kidding. So many times I've seen mediocre authors who interweaves their characters into stories and didn't change anything. We had the same story with the same dialogues (which I consider to be a complete nightmare and a sign of zero potential for the author) and the same ending, but at the time the "main characters" (although I doubt that they can be called that given that they don't affect anything) said some useless nonsense that no one was not needed. Thank you so much that you are not like that.
11628017
Oh yeah. Pieces of real magic capable of many miracles even in the real world. Because nepotism is magic.
It would be funny that Blueblood takes Raven to Donut Joe as an apology for ruining her vacation and meeting the Mane 6 there making an awkward atmosphere for everyone
Still hoping for Rarity getting big misunderstandings and thinking “he is perfect” even if he is rude to her.
11628111
I'm pretty sure that HiE fics actually predate the Isekai genre, and has its own history and set of tropes distinct from it.
11628743
That is simply incorrect but I'll allow you to keep this comment up, even though it's wrong on such a simple level.
Isekai stories existed long before HiE fics.
11628743
the first Isekai story that started the genre was Urashima Tarō a Japaneses story written in the 19th century, earliest modern Japanese isekai stories began with Warrior from Another World which was created in 1976, so no HIE dont predate Isekai genre, heck you could consider Alice in wonderland a western Isekai story
11628864
If you are going to include "western" isekai stories, then you must also mention the Narnia books as well....
11628919
And if you go the science fiction route, there is the Wellworld books of Jack Chalker. Chalker was a good author of several "western" isekai fics, for being set in a SF genre
11628907
no idea who Redjeck is either lol
11628750
Yeah, that genre is almost a century old. With occasional, far removed examples being even older.
11628913
Really? Which one?
To the author - Hello👋 i came upon your story while looking at someone else's fic bout a month ago (on 20th of June) didn't read it until the 3rd of july. This is one of best characterizations i've seen of prince blueblood in a positive light/way
Hasbro really messed up a lot with the mlp:fim show! like having blueblood appear only once in the show, then makes a cameo in canterlot weeding in season two & is never to be heard from again nor get a redemption arc.
don't even get me started on the flash sentry hate (in equestria girls movie), scootaloo's parents & derpy scandal😤
p.s: Cosmos!?! never heard of that character before...was she apart of the mlp comic series or something?
the only cosmos that i know of is in the anime Sailor moon!!!
11629185
I'm happy to hear that you've enjoyed the story so far.
I also think that the show dropped the ball by introducing Blueblood, A Prince, and then not doing anything with his character. Other than his role in the GGG episode, he only appears in the background during important events like the Equestria Games.
I'm also not the biggest fan of the show, I only watched until the middle of Season 4, and most of it was via mitosis from my little sister, So I don't understand the hate for Flash Sentry since I wasn't in the fandom when the movie came out.
And Cosmos is a character from the Comics, but don't feel the need to read them, the one is this story and the one in the comic are vastly different interpretations.
Once again, thank you for enjoying.
11628919 Technically, fae stories are often isekai as well, because the fae realm is a totally different world from ours. People 'spirited away' by the fae often find huge amounts of time have passed when they return to our world.
I too am a Fate fan. May we be in game friends perhaps?
11633590
This is a late reply, but sure.
Just type in your Friend Code and I'll add you to my list.
I can totally see Pinkie playing harmonica and singing funny prison blues about prison soap when she gets her first visitor/ is released…
Honestly I love this story already just because it shows that not even the main 6 are immune to the consequences of their actions and I love stories that do that so thank you
Heh
Eh... What? Weren't Pinkie Pie and Blueblood hanging out and drinking just a few chapters ago? What's with the cop routine?
"Pinkie gets detained for assault!"
That's hilarious.
I think Pinkie Pie needs the rules and laws explained to her
Funny to see Applejack getting the rule book throw up against her. Guess the mare indeed missed a lot of education and selling common knowledge.
