    When science goes awry sometimes Pinkie's fourth wall breaking skills break in their own ways...

    This is my first fanfic that I felt like sharing with anypony and now there is a rewrite in progress.  If you enjoyed my story, feel free to carry over into the sequel: Ponies on Bronies.

    The following link goes to the original: Archived Ponies on Ponies.

    This story is rated EL (Every Luna) for mild language and emo Dash.

    >>1134115 :pinkiehappy: Any time.  See, Ravenmane's snoozing right now, silly can only stay awake so long so I thought it would be great if I did a few things for him.  Stuff like post that notice and clear the story out were nice and easy, but I also had to check some silly things like in-game auction houses and loop something on his iPod every hour.  I mean honestly, do you have any idea how hard it is to use that thing with hooves?

    Why is it always large pictures of Pinkie? They always freak me out.

    On a second note, why isn't there a new story, instead of deleting over the original? Or does that go against the "Don't post the same story twice" rule?

    P.S. Lauren churned out of my mental "name generator" and is pure coincidence.  I wrote that Lauren in an early story that I lost my train of thought on and didn't put anywhere.  The story reminded me of FLCL if you took the sad excuse of a wire-frame of a story out of FLCL.

    long, intensive private lessons, often behind closed doors "for safety" with a member of the opposite gender?

    often including those involved shouting and/or coming out of the room exhausted and sweaty, with rumpled manes?

    Okay, who again was the ones freaking out because a new person with, ahem, "gaudy stripes" and odd ways came every month to Ponyville, then flipped out because one of their siblings tried to extend the metaphorical olive branch?

    Who was the one freaking out because she thought that said newcomer was digging at the ground in frustration, thinking she could've been "digging for poor little creatures" ?

    Who was the duo who regularly works out and never show a sweat unless doing long stretches of strenuous or stressful activities?

    The only one who kept her head, for the most part, was usually was Twilight, up until the Lesson Zero incident.

    You know, when everyone dismissed her worries as utterly inconsequential. And then did it again with the wedding.

    Who, again, assumed that Twilight could be pressured or bribed into providing goods (the Gala tickets) and then performed several underhoofed and presumptuous favors to attempt to sway her judgement?

    Really, all the ponies except Twilight have an extremely worrying tendency to jump to conclusions quickly.

    To address the points you made directly;

    AJ and Dash are both used to prolonged physical effort, and usually only sweat and look rumpled after putting specific effort into particularly difficult or intensive tasks.

    It is doubtful that Rarity ever went to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, seeing as she has a lot of incorrect fantasies about Canterlot, and it was shown that many Unicorns inducted from a young age where still in the school when Twilight got her "assignment" to stay in Ponyville.

    Fluttershy judged Zecora straightaway, finding a flimsy excuse to hold onto an irrational fear and prosecution simply because the others where thinking it too. She may not be judgmental, but she follows the flow worse than most sheep or lemmings. And I'm talking these:

    not these:

    So yes, they would have some "jumping to conclusions" issues.

    That said, after this multi-post rant, Twilight's probably also exaggerating, seeing as the portion was written from her POV, rather than from the Omnipotent 3rd Person. As such, while I can see the others getting some ideas, I doubt anypony would bring it up without being asked about it specifically. And they'd probably investigate first, to make sure.


    version:

    Sure, they would probably jump to some conclusions, and Pinkie would try to be subtle (i.e. throwing a "you got a coltfriend! hooray!" party) but Twilight is worrying a bit too much, and it's unlikely anyone would start tossing accusations around, even RD, who is extremely impulsive.

    I don't think you were trying to anything.  Most likely you were just rambling.  Happens to the best of us from time to time.

    >>1536980 I'm not very good at patience with excellent writing, but I'll damn sure try. I want this to be good as much as fast... but I'd rather have good over fast.

    >>1537318 And good trumping fast is a very good thing seeing as how I have a... um... minor snag in the ending right now.  No worries, I'll get it sorted out, but going chapter by chapter right now is for the best.  I still have a surprise lined up at the very end though :moustache:
