A/N: Okay, so this is something I don't really think has been done before. Recently I was asked to create a Tumblr Ask Blog based on this story (ie: Mane 6 + Austin answer your questions). Now, I'm not certain how many of you actually think this is a good idea, so as a bit of a trial run, I'll be accepting people asking questions on THIS chapter of THIS story only. When they (the ponies and Austin) get asked a question by you (you) the viewers, I will write up a short response here on this chapter as well. Something like this:
BronyUser123 asks:
"How many times has Pinkie tried to prank you Austin?"
Austin emerges covered in confetti and cake frosting, looking extremely unamused. Twilight can't help but giggle at the sight of him. He rolls his eyes and glares.
"Too many."
Now that was only an example. If, though, I get enough questions or enough demand to create said Ask Blog, I will create and send a link to it. Anyway, have fun!
Author, Out!
Foxtail asks:
"Ever end up breaking a Pinkie Promise?..."
Austin comes out and waves.
"Okay, so I assume this and the following questions are for me, so.....I can say with the utmost confidence that.....Yes but only once please don't tell Pinkie I'm afraid that she may kill me if she ever finds out. No, no I have not!
He grins sheepishly while his eyes dart back and forth, bullets of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Next question?"
Time Squid asks:
"Have you ever glomped a pony? Intentionally that is."
Austin wipes his forehead with his hand and sighs with relief.
"Good, not another Pinkie question. um....Yes, I do believe I have before. I can't recall all the details clearly, but I can tell you that it was Dashie and it involved a chicken outfit and a large brass horn."
He stops and pauses.
"Don't ask what the horn was for."
elue1234 asks:
"Has Rarity ever tried to make you clothes? If so, which one was your least favorite?"
Austin chuckles.
"A better question would be 'what HAVEN'T these ponies tried to do to me?'! But in all seriousness, yes, she has. And I think the worst one was when she asked me to be a 'living mannequin' for a new dress she wanted to create for humans. Despite my protests, saying that normally girls of my species are not nearly 6 ft tall, she went on anyway and...."
Austin exits the scene momentarily, then returns in a frilly pink and white gown.
"This is definitely not my style."
paulgreendog asks:
"What do you think Dash would do if you were tiny again?"
Austin rubs his forehead and sighs.
"Huh boy...I knew I didn't hear the last of that incident...ummm...Well, as you would've guessed, at the time, I was around the size of a doll. Small enough to ride the toy ponies. Now, I bet you're wondering where those dolls came from. To answer your question, Dashie-"
Austin is cut off by RD shouting at him from off-set.
"Austin, I swear to Celestia if you finish answering that question, I am going to do a Sonic Rainboom THROUGH you!!"
He puts his arms behind his back and grins nervously.
"Alright Dashie!" He turns back to you. "She's such a kidder!"
"Who's kidding?"
paulgreendog asks:
"What if i just came in through that portal to equestrian yeah nevermind i did"
Austin and Pinkie look at each other, then burst into a fit of giggles.
"I'm sorry, but that portal is in the middle of a forest and it's at the bottom of a chasm. Not to mention, that portal had to be closed due to the government of Equestria and Earth not wanting the public to know about it. All that being said, paul...."
Pinkie and Austin quickly put on a pair of sunglasses and pull out neuralizers.
"Sorry."
"But this is all classified information."
(FLASH!)
paulgreendog asks(?) :
"Austin,
If you are going to make an ask blog-Also know that there are M!As aka Magic Anons that can do like anything
ANYTHING
okay but then lets goo in a magic world of magicalness
maybe not but nevermind"
Austin looks at the question, confused. Twilight looks just as befuddled, that is until a scruffy, teenaged boy comes in, unshaven and much more realistic looking than the Austin and Twi. He says,
"Hey. Mod here. uh...I know about the Magic Anons, and I understand the danger of them. But honestly, I don't really mind in the slightest. and as for the 'magical world of magicalness'.....uh.....Austin kinda already DID that. Repeatedly. It's literally the name of the story! 'Back to Equestria'. It means that he's going BACK to a magical world. As in he's been there before. Whatever. Anyway, back to the ask chapter."
The strange boy left, leaving Austin and Twilight huddled close together in fear.
"Who the hell was that?!"
"I have no clue!"
ConEditor asks:
"Hey Austin
Do you like the movie Austin Power Rangers?
Also, would you like to be in a relationship (as in, more than friends) with Pinkie or Twilight?"
Austin is seen walking into the scene reading a piece of paper, which seems to have the question written on it. He reads it over as he steps in, muttering to himself as he goes along. Finally he glances up, not realizing he's been on camera this whole time.
"Oh." He quickly crumples the note and tosses it aside. "The answer to the first of your questions, is no, I have not. Secondly...."
Meanwhile, off the side, a purple hoof grabs the crumpled paper and the sound of it being unraveled is heard of camera.
"I never really planned on-"
"WHAT?!"
Austin immediately facepalms, and Twilight teleports into the scene, red-faced with both anger and embarrassment.
"This question is over!"
And then it cuts to black.
