My name is Buttercup. I'm six years old.
My parents have always been on the move, since my father's a travelling merchant. However, my Mom finally put her hoof down, and said a little filly like me needs friends, schooling, and a permanent home. Now we're in Ponyville.
I've never dressed up for Nightmare Night before, beyond posing in costume at Father's stall. This is going to be my first Nightmare Night I get to go out and have fun with others my age. I hope it goes well.

Birthday present written for Overlord-Flinx.
Chapters (1)
Ah. Much better than anything I have ever written.

Really?
I left it possible, but...any chance you want to incorporate it into the 'Flinx-verse'? Have this be the 'Know Your Mare' and related stories Pipsqueak? I left the possibility available, if you do.
Not sure if you were going for it but nice "Princess Bride" references in this chapter but love them anyways. Also great story thanks for writing this.
P.S Forgot to add I loved the "Incredibles" reference too
3250424
Those references were quite deliberate.
"Princess" Buttercup?
"Dread Pirate"?
"Grampa's Story"?
"As you wish"?
"At least his name's not Wesley"?
Seriously, with that, would ANYONE believe the movie references were UNintentional?
3250465
Was not sure trying to subtle or not with them.
3250541
I was not trying to be subtle. I was trying to be as blatant as possible without weakening the story.
However, the Incredibles reference may have been inadvertent. Where was that/
3250560
The same happens with Mr. Incredibles and Edna Mode.
3250587
Oh yes, that one. That was deliberate, too.
3250595
Ok, than sorry for overthinking this than.
3250598
Yeah, the references are a little too obvious to be accidental. No prob about overthinking.
But can you imagine how references that blatant could be accidental?
3250600
Yes I can.
3250090 Hm... I'll see what I can do. The Flinx-verse is a wide, crazy place... Anything can happen.

I actually had an idea for how Buttercup could appear when she's older - and how the rest of the Discordian-Swarm family reacts to her.
I think her Cutie Mark - when she gets it - would be the comedy/tragedy masks, signifying a special talent for acting/drama.
And I can just see Chrysalis/Crystal squeezing over finding Pip and Buttercup curled up together the following morning, Discord/Dishar Mony actively suppressing his own squeal, and Shimmer snapping a photo.
can i wish for this to continue? why does good written stories end in 1 chapter 99% of the time.

That's up to Overlord-Flinx. His B-day present.
Half way through I was going to say that this fic was good about an 8/10
, but den I kept reading and saw all the references to Princess bride
, and that netted you bonus points! So many bonus points!
I give this fic 11/10. Also the ending helped too. 
Good fic. Would recommend.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T GET THE PRINCESS BRIDE REFERENCE TILL THE END!
SEPPUKUUUUUU!
I'd say the princess Bride references got too obvious at the "you're not left-hooved". Not that's a bad thing.
(so never leaving again
keep up the great work!!!
