Just a story about two background ponies going through a series of life-threatening misunderstandings and mishaps that makes them wish they had just stayed in the background quietly eating their cookies...or is it?
After ranting and raving about the fallacies of their colorful utopia, Incarlsistency and Sam-Listens-To-Carl's-Problems, the "heroes" of the epic trilogy that started with "Two Background Ponies Eating Cookies", finally find themselves thrust into an adventure of their own. After both being canned from their mundane, background pony jobs on the same day, Sam and Carl hatch a desperate scheme to make the money necessary to pay for Sam's upcoming wedding and avoid the wrath of Sam's homicidal/disapproving future father-in-law. Unfortunately, things will quickly escalate out of control for the duo when they discover the darker side of their idealistic world.
Big cities...gangs...magic...princesses...shakes...this story has it all!
How is this story not more popular? This was great! I read the whole thing and just finished. I would have thought that more people would be commenting on how good out was. Keep up the good work!

I read the other "Two Backround" stories. I don't remember if I faved them, but I at least liked them. Also, I added this story to a group called the Under-Appreciated Extravaganza. I don't know how soon it will be reviewed and put in a thread, but hopefully it will be timely.
I'll go ahead and put this story in a blog post of mine so my followers could potentially check this out.

You're welcome!
Hmmm. An interesting read.
I do feel, however, that Dawn using the foo dogs to get Sam his supervisor job back kindof undermines the theme of Sam standing up for himself. That was a fairly major theme for quite a bit of the story, and to have it suddenly undermined like that was a little jarring.
Aside from that minor quibble, though, it was a nice, silly story. I enjoyed it.
What a ride! I love stories where the main people get pulled deeper and deeper in trouble without even knowing it until they're public enemies number 1! I thought this was during the season 4 premiere with Celestia gone but where she really ended up tossed me for a loop. Super great job!
I have but one question: Are the ponies in this fic supposed to be anthro, or canon pony form?
6398671 Canon forms.

This was a glorious mess, and a criminally underrated one. It deserves far better.
Thank you for having written it.
