My Fair Draconequus Update Delayed · 5:23pm Jan 25th, 2015
I have started writing the episode but I feel that in order to do it justice and not post a poorly edited chapter I need to add a couple more days to my original estimate. I have been dealing with some athsma trouble and spent a late night dealing with that and the contest Friday night so I didn't spend as much time writing during the day yesterday.
This chapter contains another song parody so I need to take a little time on it to make it good so I hope you all can forgive me pushing forward the update date again. I will give you a little preview of the chapter by way of apology. It is in the first draft stage, meaning I have not edited it yet, so I apologize for any errors present.
My Fair Dranconequus: Chapter 3 Preview
Do as Twilight Says, Not What Pinkie Does
Applejack nudged Twilight and pulled her aside as they approached Sugar Cube corner. "Are ya sure this is a good idea? Ya know I think Pinkie Pie is the worst to give Discord tips on fancy balls."
"While I do admit that she made a bad impression at the Grand Galloping Gala I think her experience can help Discord."
"Her bad example can help?"
"Well, DUH!" Pinkie's upside down head suddenly said eyeball to eyeball with the country pony.
Applejack fell backwards and glared up at the pink pony who was dangling from a raft of balloons tied around her hind leg.
"I can tell Discord what to not expect and not do. Liiiiiike..." she slid out of the balloon knot, snatched them up and tied them to Discord's tail and pushed the unhappy Dranconequus through the front door. In expicably the pink pony appeared in the center of the room setting off a thirty party popper salute. "Do not expect balloons, party poppers, party cannons or anypony jumping out and saying... SURPRIIISE."
She unfurled a banner that said 'Congratulations Discord' on it. "Welcome to your, Discord got through a week of really boring stuff without destroying Ponyvillie, totally not practice party!"
"At least somepony noticed how hard I've been practicing to be completely and utterly boring and forgettable." Discord eyed Twilight with as much distain as he could muster.
"There's just one tiny thing I have to get out of the way first..." Pinkie said her perky voice trailing off into a more menacing tone before pouncing on Spike. "You! Don't think that I don't know!"
"W-What are you talking about?"
"My right eye-twitched, my tummy did a flip-flop, my ears pricked and I flipped on-to-my-back! Only I am allowed to BREAK THE FOURTH WALL!"
Everyone stared at Pinky as she hyperventilated.
"She does have a point, like I'm the only one allowed to bring in visual gags and references from an entirely different universe, I think you're getting off easy kid." Discord producing a scroll, and letting it fall open, that said 'My Little Pony: FIM Contract"' on it and was signed by John de Lancie.
Pinkie leapt up throwing steamers into the air. "Now that that is over its time to party! I mean not party, sorry, Twilight." Pinkie giggled.
"Still think this was a good idea?" Aj asked crossing her hoofs as she leaned on the counter.
Twilight sighed. This is going to be a long day.
Song Parody
I probably should be linking videos to the musical number I'm parodying in the chapter footnotes so I will be doing that from now on. The parody that will be appearing in this chapter is a parody I will loosely title "Chocolate Rain In the Plain" based on "The Rain in Spain" which is linked below. Its basically a little celebratory number because the title character finally gets the speech lessons. Of course, this one will be a little different with the main character being Discord and his lessons being different.
See you later everypony!
No worries on the delay, take your time. Hope you're feeling better too! I love the preview! I'm already laughing. "Welcome to your, Discord got through a week of really boring stuff without destroying Ponyvillie, totally not practice party!" <-- that cracked me up! XD and Pinkie getting mad at Spike for breaking the fourth wall, LMAO! I can't wait to see where this goes, looking forward to the song parody too. I still have the last one stuck in my head!
