Gravitys Rainboom

Happy Arbor Day! Yes, it's Arbor Day, and much to her horror, Celestia has forgotten to get her dearest sister a gift to celebrate this momentous holiday. Now she and a hapless guard must venture to Canterlot's market to find one before the day is out!

And yes, there will be blood.



Thanks to Professor Plum and AggroViking for editing.

Partially inspired by PhantomFox's "Sunny Skies All Day Long," and Explodium's "It Must Be Tuesday."

Oh hey, Gravity is:twilightangry2: alive....

well that was an interesting read


liked and faved

Cute story, I liked it :twilightsmile:

Please, strip yourself of your armor Pen, I don’t want to attract too much attention when we get there.

What a handsome young stallion

So you don't want to attract too much attention... but you're going with a handsome colt without armor? Are you nuts? The press is going to have a field day...

Oh, wait, you're disguised. As an insanely beautiful pegasus. I'm not sure that makes much difference.

After all those injuries, I think we know why his name is Punctured Armor. Honestly, I want to see a sequel where Celestia and Pen go out. Their characters meshed well and he is just plain funny - especially when he gets hurt in comedic ways.

Murphy, you son-of-a-bi

Makes more of a difference than as a six foot tall goddess in golden armor:derpytongue2:

I'm really sorry, but this story just didn't do it for me. The whole "hapless guy gets beaten to hell and back" thing ("slapstick", I think it's called?) isn't very...well, funny. Maybe it's because I feel it's been overdone, but I'd like to think that Pen would be maybe a little more angry, or at the very least, disgruntled. But, no he isn't, because he's simply that nice a guy.

*Snif* why must your words sting so much, SgtFrog? Why?:pinkiesad2:

You're right, it is slapstick; and yes, it is a little overdone. The story is basically a re-tooling of a popular trope. I wanted to try my hand at an inoffensive, comedic one-shot, and having Pen be such a nice guy was the best way to go about doing that.

It's also nice writing for a character that isn't always grumpy, for a change.:derpytongue2:

Kekekeeke!

Did you hear that, everyone? My work is...INSPIRING!

Interesting story bro!

Yup. Even though it had absolutely nothing to do with aliens and pot-apocalyptic wastelands.:trollestia:

This is not a well-written fic. It is, however, heartwarming and funny and cute. And, I think the fact that I enjoyed it far outweighs the technical flaws.

Not "well-written?" How so?

UPS just delivered a box of D'awww.
