THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Trixie gets a baby dragon.

She lives in a wooden wagon.

You do the math.

I see where this is going:trixieshiftright:

Okay, so I didn't see where this was going
I all honesty didn't expect to find out Celestia did a dragon (not surprised though) or that she might also be Spikes mother.

Ah did the math.
1 pony+1 dragon+wooden wagon… just doesn' add up. :eeyup:

I guess they don't make dragon eggs like they used to. And judging by this story, that statement goes several ways. :trollestia:

What is Equestria coming to when THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Trixie gets what she wants? Shenanigans!

In your text, do you mean "dragon's egg" or "dragons' egg?" Because you use "dragons egg" a few times.

Whelp, (see what I did there?) Imma trakin'! Keepa truckin'!

199672 Congratulations, you have done the math! This entitles you to one bonus ticket, allowing you three spins of the Mystery Wheel in the final round OR a chance to win an all-expensed paid trip to scenic Canterlot!

Awesome! I'm takin Fluttershy.
:yay:

So is Spike also Celestia's?
How did she get with a dragon? Size change spell?
Mythological Dragons are exceptionally virile, able to impregnate nearly anything so the cross species thing isn't really too questionable.
But with a being of as much genetic fortitiude as Celestia, should the child not be a Draconequus?

200207 It's a secret to everybody.

Well, this is interesting. Tracking yet another of your stories.

And as for how, dragons can impregnate anything that moves. And Celestia is a goddess. And as for why, well, because Celestia can do whatever the fuck she wants.

Although pushing out an egg that big has to hurt like a raging fucker of mothers. owwwwwwwww

Joe do you mind if I reference this story in Canterlot's Crazie?
It'll probable be a large joke (mainly Celestia screwing the dragon)

Well, you have my interest. Will give this one a track.
:trixieshiftright: + :moustache: = ?

200389 True...but I have always imagined that a unicorn foal would be less fun. You know, with the horn.

200432 Sure! Need to get around to reading that, so tell me when it's up!

oh gosh. only celestia... well, gilda maybe, if she was drunk enough. is this going to turn into another long story? cause i would love that. :pinkiehappy: -ahem- yes, i do believe youve captured trixie's personality quite well in this. blah blah blah smart-sounding things. KEEP BEING AWESOME, SIR! :moustache:

I just realized that if "draconequus" means what I think it means, then Discord was what happens when a pony mates with a dragon....:pinkiegasp:

So :raritystarry:+:moustache:=..... oohhhh crap.

203082 it doesnt mean what you think it means. :derpytongue2: obviously, when a pony mates with a dragon, it creates a little blue egg that trixie hatches with her incompetence. :moustache:

You've caught my interest I suppose. Continue.

And if there is one suggestion I can make, stop overusing 'uh' and 'um'. Basically all the little sentence interrupters like that.

While they are common in real life, they are frustrating to read in stories.

Poor, poor Celestia apparently she's not as invincible as I thought.

The IMPOVERISHED AND INDEBTED Trixie has a lot to learn, doesn't she?

I like how your funny bits also include a few tender moments when Trixie is dealing with her new dragon. Keeps things a little grounded during all the snickering.

Is the dragon named yet? Will there be a name? Looking forward to finding out!

If Trixie survives the next chapter, that is.

205583 I only use it in the awkward sentences, so you won't see it as much as you did this chapter.

205765 Yes, the dragon will get a name, but it'll be Trixie-style.

Name her Gem. Because no one else is the same.

Well Twilight has Spike, maybe Trixie should name her dragon Zweihander?

Also when are you planning on sending this to EqD? It's definitely good enough!

206365 AH HA HA NO. THe last time I submitted something that got in, I got such frothy hate in comments that I nearly quit the site. I'm not making that mistake again. Never again.

206553

Really? That's disappointing. Honestly I wouldn't know who you are or be following you or tracking your fics if it wasn't for EqD. The last time I checked "Your Best Shot" is a 5 star (4.5 avg) fic with some criticisms (the only consistent one being Pinkie acting TOO Pinkie) and one or 2 haters who come off as total ignoramuses and aren't taken seriously...:applecry:

206713 Yeah, more like 200 comments that "OMG u speel so bad" and about 100 pm's of " omg your foot fetish is so gross". Someday I might try EQD again, but once was enough for a while.

206818

Wat?
I'm sorry for bugging you about this as you have obviously strong feelings, but are we both talking about the same story post?
There are only 45 comments on the post and only one of them complains about grammar and refers specifically to overuse of dashes. No comments even have the word "spell" in them.
Also there are no PMs on EqD and what foot fetish? Did I miss a chapter?

Well either way I'll drop it and this is a great fic. Looking forward to more.

206553 way to go, man. EqD is not a fabulous site for fiction. heck, i got hate from the pre-readers :moustache: ah well, i cant wait til trixie takes over equestria. submit it then, you KNOW sethisto will post that. :derpytongue2:

206947 In any event, one new chapter of Your Best Shot each week for the next three weeks! Talking bout it with you got me motivated.

207457
HA HA! Yet another positive outcome for commenting while on hypertension inducing cold meds!

I really hope you end this one to interesting and you always make the weirder and funnier twists :rainbowlaugh:

tracking again :trixieshiftleft:

I am really enjoying the mix of sadness and snarking here. I feel sorry for Trixie, but I also enjoy her out-and-out hammy showmareship, and her overwhelming arrogance in the face of anypony and everypony. Good chapter; looking forward to more.

207885 I'm being double tracked? Dude, sweet.

207906 I like her charecter for this kind of thing. She's a perfect combonation of woobie, unflappable, and jerk.

You know, there's always been a lot more sympathy for Trixie than for, say, Blueblood. Makes you ponder the reason.

Heh. Hardly that, dear boy. Though I won't deny it's a chronic cultural bias...
But still there are several other obvious reasons.
Starting with the fact that Blueblood is privileged. He's rich, he's royalty, you'd think he could afford some manners, right?
Meanwhile Trixie was just as obnoxious, if not more so--- but she also stepped up to the plate when the Ursa Minor came to town, even though it wasn't her fault.
Blueblood may have ended up with a dry-cleaning bill. Trixie lost EVERYTHING, even her hat and robe... (and noone made ANY effort to reimburse her either!)

But just to be fair let's play devil's advocate: Trixie's transgressions were deliberate. Blueblood's were done in narcissistic ignorance. And we really can't extrapolate as much about Blueblood's real character from his time onscreen as we can about Trixie. I've seen at least one fanfic that presupposed that his boorish behavior was actually an act he put on whenever he suspected he was being pestered by a gold-digger.... which when you think about it, is likely a real necessary strategy for any bachelor with a royal title to his name...plus, sadly, it describes Rarity's motivations a little too well.

208516 Part of the reason, IMO, is that Blueblood comes across as both utterly narcissistic and one-dimensional. He shows no redeeming qualities, just endless self-centeredness, in a context where he should be treating a lady like a lady. He could be polite, at a bare minimum. Hayseed Turnip Truck was more of a gentlestallion that Blueblood.

By contrast, Trixie was a huge braggart and ham - as part of her show. She didn't do anything bad except talk, and humiliated those who accepted her challenge as part of her show. Also, when it came down to it, she tried to fight the Ursa despite knowing she was hopelessly outclassed. Finally, as RealityCheck noted, she was publicly embarrassed and lost all her possessions, all for no real crime. That's harsh.

211332

I agree more or less. Trixie may not have been making any friends with her boasting, trickery and arrogance, but her only real mistake was lying about the Ursa.

Blueblood was actually less MEAN than Trixie, but all his actions were more morally deplorable.

Hope this story isn't dead. I like it and it looks like a lot of fun.:twilightsmile:

interesting story, but the same overdone and boring "Trixie is really weak and she needs to be taught" thing gets grating way too quickly

This is awsome:pinkiehappy: I :heart: this story

203082 Nah, a draconequus is the result when there's an orgy involving at least one of every sentient species in Equestria. It's not like a normal pregnancy.

...Don't ask me how I learned that, but it's true.

211332
Maybe he doesn't believe in chivarly
After all Most rulers in Equestria ARE females, So chivarly in Equestria hardly makes sens
