With all her new princess obligations, Twilight needs the support of her assistants more than ever. But since she started spending more time in Canterlot, Owlowiscious has seemed awfully distracted by something. Maybe Luna can help clear up why.
Special thanks to Harwick for the random EQD comment that gave me the idea.

wait its complete?
awww, i wanted to see what happens.....
oh well, i still enjoined it.
Short, but sweet. I like it.
Okay, I gotta admit, this was kind of adorable, and the usage of "Hoo" was very effective. I'm almost scared to try and imagine that bit with the weathervane. This was just too precious!
3627658
You people and your craving for sequels
3627662
It almost ended up in my shorts compilation, but I decided to launch it as its own thing.
etc.
The best conversation ever!
A weather vane?
Oh, my
Cute, silly, and well-written. Have an upvote.
On a side-note: I've always pondered the spelling of Owlowiscious. People tend to spell it like that, but I always thought it would be spelled Owloysius, like the real life name Aloysius. Eh, guess it doesn't really matter.
3627695
I didn't know either. Went with the spelling the character tag is labelled with.
Also, wrote it once, then ctrl+C ctrl+V'd it every other time
Ah, the weather vane returns! Methinks Owlowicious was spying on Twilight and Azalea...
Great, short little fic, Eaks. Also, sorry that it is now canon that Scootaloo does not, in fact, live in an abandoned restaurant.
I'm even more confused about the weather vane now. It is one thing to understand that Twilight, a fully grown pony, knows some use for one. I'm lost as to how that knowledge translates to an Owlowicious sized love affair... not that I really want to know specifics.
Also, extraneous quotation:
*Grins and applauds* Bravo. very much bravo.
3627803
Thanks, fixed. And the mystery of the weather vane continues to deepen...
3627733
Haven't seen the new episode yet! I got the inspiration for this after I read the preview of the IDW comic starring Luna on EQD. Glad Scoots finally has a home, though, restaurant or no.
3627821
Well, "she has a home" isn't really a spoiler. It's not like it was some huge reveal, unless you're one of those die-hard Scoota-Orphan types. Dude, I've already had three blog notifacations of people writing short little things about SScootaloo waking up in her cardboard box, and "It was all a dream."
Why are people so dead set on Scootaloo being miserable?
See, I knew that was a good pairing! It has all of the shipping tropes covered... intellectual/prankster, mortal/immortal, humble origins/royalty, flammable/non-flammable... It's the best of all ships combined in a feathery package.
A really fun little tale, with an enjoyably one-sided conversation as the basis of it. I've always felt that the show should make more use of the pets as background elements and gags, and works like this convince me that they're still plenty there to mine from them. And, on an aside, it somehow makes more sense to me that birds would naturally know illicit uses for a weather vane...
Lovely.
That was beautiful and life-changing.
I can see the owl has been reading in Twilight's "Blue" section of her library again...

I seem to be of two minds these days, writing wise. Half of it is wringing poignancy out of avian romance and interplanetary phone sex, the other half is plumbing the absolute depths of changeling-induced insanity.
My muse is one messed-up lady. And I wouldn't have her any other way.
Philowiscious. Somehow not the most ridiculous ship to come out of this fandom. I'm not at all surprised by Owlowiscious's more vulgar side. Intelligence and imagination go hand in hand (wing in wing?) Though I am starting to wonder about you and weather vanes...
Also:
This phoenix is no more! It has ceased to be! It has expired and gone to meet its maker!
*fwoosh*
Oh... never mind.
In any case, thank you for this bizarre yet adorable little story.
3627679
Still a better love story than Twilight.
Not you.
3627679
Little bit of good natured poking at our tendency to ask for sequels, eh?
To be honest, I didn't quite see how it fit into the story. Do you mind explaining?
And to be honest, Eakin, I thought at first that based on the timing that Twilight was the love interest. Wings and all.
Was that an intentional red herring?
Loving your productivity! It's great to have so many great things to read.
Ah, once more the weather vane. Perhaps eventually enough clues will be dropped in these stories that we'll be able to put together exactly what that entails.
3628303
I thought of that! I totally did think of coming up with a "Twilight's wings make Owlowiscious see her in a whole new way" fic, but it was a bit too crack-shippy for me. Plus Harwick's comment was for the two birds. If someone wants to steal the idea for an Owlight fic, they're welcome to it.
Short but sweet. A fun little story to make you smile.
But seriously, Eakin, what is it with you and weathervanes?
3628365
Oh, have you never... ooh, wow. Yeah, you're missing out. You've never just wanted to grab that 'N' and... well...
Oh man, I can't even type it. But you're missing out BIG TIME. I can only hope your next SO really knows what they're doing.
Beautifully done!
3627871
Memetics! IIRC, it started with an S1 tweet from Lauren about how Rainbow Dash wouldn't really make a good big sister for Scootaloo. People naturally interpreted this as 'Rainbow Dash beats Scootaloo with a large stick', and thus was Scootabuse born.
That one sided conversation between Luna and Owlowiscious was a hoot.
I also liked your take on the "immortal's curse."

BOO!

I never bought into the idea that it was a curse. Even wrote a little collab to that effect...
3627871
The whole "wretched little orphan makes good" trope is a biggie in pop-lit, just ask AK Yearling, er, JK Rowling: it's the ultimate underdog wins scenario. I guess its only natural with the lack of back-story on Scoots a lot of the MLP:fim fandom (which intersects heavily with the Potter fandom) chose her to fill their missing trope hole.
3627821
Me to. And weren't those two rather large greek columns at the front of her house? Looked kinda restaurantish to me, in a nouvelle-classique-cuisine kind of way.
3627658
I think we all enjoined it...that did seem to be the point to the story, after all.
Well I can't believe the weather vane thing came back.
One of these days, Eakin...
3627733
Well, she has a room...though beyond the fact that Dash and the other crusaders know where it is, it could very well be in a restaurant...
Extra quotation mark at the end.
Anyway, an amusing read. I admit to having bursted out laughing at the weather vane reference.
Funny thing is, I think I may have in fact seen that very comment that inspired this story.
3629056
Fixed!
It was in the comments of the 'Luna IDW comic' thread. You may very well have seen it.
Do we have a little stalker on our hands?
And very nice. It was almost mysterious, save for the cover picture.
You know, it's almost scary how topical this story (and especially Luna's argument) is to my life right now... I mean, it's nothing that I haven't already figured out for myself, but still, it's easy to be intimidated by the one girl who has your heart firmly in her grasp (but is completely oblivious to the fact). Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a letter to write for my Lady Philomena...
3629120 Ah yes, there we go, that was the one.
Never ceases to amaze me just how fast some people can write.
3629319
Best of luck! Be honest with her, and remember that the worst outcome is the one you're living with right now.
A weather vane, huh?
Clearly Owlowiscious has seen something he wasn't supposed to in the Golden Oaks Library and gotten ideas...
Yay, I didn't even notice the character tags and still see where this is going.
(The plumage don't enter into it; she's bleedin' demised!)
lost it
3629723
F&$k 'em. They have to grow up sometime.
...I kinda have that feeling of reading such a good story that I want there to be more now...
Epilogue? :3
3629951
Allow me to utterly crush your beliefs.
I'm completely content with where this story ended.
3629968
Made my night.
3629968
Noooooooooooo!!!
Sad Raccoon. :<
This isn't the first use of this pairing, but it is a good one.
I did like the Luna conversation quite a bit, but I do think it cut out at a very odd time.
3629968
No, see, Philomena was actually... a changeling! And a time traveler! What a twist!
( Edit: Speaking of time-traveling shape-shifters... who else do we know who is reborn in a fiery conflagration whenever he dies...
)
Weather vane meme?
Weather vane meme.
Apparently the language of owls is a complex one if a single hoot can convey a sentence or two.
