The Mane Dilemma (a microfic I wrote last year) · 4:59am Dec 29th, 2012
(This is a little fic I threw together for a contest on EqD last year I believe. It's too short for a story post, only around 300 words; but it's perfect for a blog post. Also, the idea spawned an offshoot which I plan on turning into a longer fic... (as if I'll ever get to it) ... in which Helix is more a mad scientist, which is his current canon and with the sane and sensible Bunsen as his archetypal opposite, and happens to be pursuing the love interests of one Lyra Heartstrings)
The Mane Dilemma
A stark white mane and tail struggled violently, attempting to escape the magical restraints which bound them in place to the head and teal body of Helix the unicorn.
It was the same all over Ponyville; everypony's hair in open rebellion.
The eccentric scientist sighed as he completed his semi-chemical-semi-magical cure for the latest in what was becoming an endless series of magical mishaps and maladies caused by none other than the Princess' protégé, Twilight Sparkle. Her mistakes in spell-casting were both legendary and increasingly distressingly frequent. Given her extraordinary talents and astonishing successes in the past, Helix couldn't help but postulate the involvement of a mysterious outside force in her now nearly constant ineptitude.
Perhaps, he pondered, some strange alien race of nearly hairless apes was using its terrifying powers to torment the entire Pony population through Twilight Sparkle out of some fit of jealousy that they couldn't be ponies or live in Equestria…
He shook his head as his mane squirmed. "Absurd. I really need to get some sleep after all this is over," he muttered to himself.
Finally finished, Helix loaded up the cure into a sprayer and went about his business as he had with the massive Cutie Pox outbreak, the hoards of zombie ponies, and the vampire ponies (which sparkled annoyingly in sunlight), spraying this way and that as he trotted through the town of screaming ponies, all frantically fleeing to and fro as their hair assaulted them with various impromptu weapons.
The day over, task complete, Helix went back to his laboratory home and waiting bed.
Only to be suddenly awakened in the early morning by angry pounding on his door. Opening said door, he found himself confronted by most of the townsponies… all completely bald.
Helix could only sigh as they began their voluminous complaints. The naked apes had struck again from their evil dimension, he concluded. END
Aaahahha brilliant. I can just see him making those sarcastic remarks about "The naked apes" to himself all day long only to let one of them slip in front of Pinkie. She'd be all like HUUUUU!
you know about the kind hearted hairless monkeys that watch me and my friends when any thing interesting is happening then she said in a unusually hushed tone, and some times ogle at our plots. She then looked in a seemingly random direction and gave a sly little wink. I didn't want to talk about them to any pony because I know no one would Believe me!
umm. Seems I went of on a bit of a tangent there
, all well. Feel free to use this if you like. 
It shows promise
