//------------------------------// // " What is a Ship? " // Story: Shipping Gone Too Far. // by Thundy //------------------------------// " A "Brony? " Twilight questions. " YES! A BRONY! " Dashie repeats for the 5th time. Rarity gasps at the word and glares at RainbowDash . " How DARE you use that word in the room!? Where's your MANNERS! " Twilight was clearly confused on what was going on between the two mares and decided to question what exactly they were talking about. " . . . Gals. . . What exactly is a. . . Brony? " She asks politely. Rarity and RainbowDash turns to Twilight and gives her a serious stare. " Oh my , she doesn't know. " Rarity says with a sigh at the end. " This is one. Sad. Mare. " RainbowDash adds. " Just tell me. . .! " Twilight shouts. She clearly lost her patience quicker than ever and was extremely curious. RainbowDash sighs as the spotlight turns to her, and she closes her eyes. " A Brony. . . is what makes all those. . . -- " " -- Ships. " Rarity finishes. " Ships? " Twilight curiously asks. " Yes. . . Ships. " RainbowDash finishes. Twilight was envy enough to ask the question " What's a Ship? " but then PinkiePie burst to the room, hopping around quickly. " Did some pony say. . .SHIP!? OH BOY! OH BOY! With who? With who? With who? With who!?!?! Tell me tell me tell me tell me!!! TEEEEELLL MEEEEE-- " " SHUT UP, PINKIE PIE! " RainbowDash shouts. " Nopony is being shipped with NOPONY! " Pinkie's reaction quickly changes to a straight face as she stops hopping. " Oh. " Twilight was absolutely quiet the whole time, for she was extremely confused now... And curious. " So again. . . What's a ship? " Twilight asks. " A ship, Dear. Is when a Brony decides to put two ponies together in a serious relationship no matter what gender they are. " " Oh wow. . . That's. Harsh. Even two mares together? " Twilight asks. " Even two mares together. . . " RainbowDash agrees. " It's scary though. . .! " Pinke Pie adds. As the three mares continue to discuss the topic of "Ships", Applejack walks in the room as well and sits down. " Ah-lright. Who came with da' great idea for me to join this mare-meetin' ? " Applejack says as she places her hat next to her. " We're talking about Ships, Applejack. . . " RainbowDash states once again. Applejack's ears pin down and stand up. " Ah' just remembered that ah' have. . . Er. Things to do. . . " She says as she stands up. RainbowDash flies quickly to Applejack and forces her to sit down. " NAH-AH-AH-AH! You will STAY! Twilight needs to know more! She's clueless!! " Applejack looks at the innocent Twilight sitting there, clearly confused. " Nah-ah. " She says. " Ya guys don't understand' . . . " RainbowDash raises a brow as she sighs. " What do you mean we don't understand. . .? " Applejack looks around and she sighs as well. " Well. Ships often' happen in these things called "Fan-Fictions." " Why. . .Of course, Dear. . . Why are you stating that now? " Rarity replies. The orange mare gave a long pause of silence as she picks her hat up and shivers. " 'Cuz. . . We're in one. . . Right now. "
