Inseptium Nova Q&A Character Responses!

Personal Notes: Just about any character interaction here should be considered non-canon to the current storyline...this is mainly for fun! I'm going to be linking each of your names to your profiles to give ya'll more site exposure and connections too ^^. It is assumed that The Author and V-Pony are aware of all the story details, both past and present, while the other characters are only aware of the story up to this point...it is also assumed that you, the readers, are the audience watching this little production on stage, so please be as supportive as possible! And without further ado, here...

Alrighty folks, this is V-Pony here bringing you another round of Q&A responses! But, as said in the instructions, things will be a little different this time around, with the questions not only being directed at myself, but at the characters as well (this is mainly at the behest of Scootaloo, who felt everypony should be heard this time around. And hey, if you guys like it, we'll likely do it again!)

Scootaloo: *from somewhere behind stage* YAY!

Ain't she cute?

Scootaloo: Hey, I am so not cute!

Volare: She prefers the term adorable!

Scootaloo: Hey, do not! And stop giving me hoof-noogies!

whack!

Volare: Oof! Fair enough...V-Pony, please continue...ow, kid can hit hard for her size...

Scootaloo: What was that, bro?

Volare: Nothin...nothin...

Dash: *from over a phone link to Fillydelphia* This phone is so awesome! And he said something about hitting hard for your size, squirt, heh-heh.

Scootaloo: Grrr, why does everypony gotta point out that I'm little...sheesh...*crosses hooves and grumbles* And I'd whack you too if you were here-when're you coming home, Dash?!

Dash: Tomorrow, I promise!

Scootaloo: Aww, but that's taking forever! And that still doesn't answer why everypony's gotta point out my size...

Cuz you're adorable, that's why Scoots.

Scootaloo: Aww, c'mon, not you too, dude!

It's nothing bad, it's just endearing, that's all.

Scootaloo: Hey, I'm not a deer!

Volare: No, Scoots, endearing. It means something that others like about you.

Scootaloo: Oh, I get it now. Thanks, V-Pony! ...but I'm still not cute! Blech!

If you say so~...hnnnng-

Scootaloo: Hey, I can break more than the fourth wall of this stage if ya know what I mean, dude *shakes hoof from behind curtain*

Eesh, ok, ok, truce! You're not cute, you're...awesome?

Scootaloo: Darn right! Now get on with the questions and stuff, V-Pony!

Yeah, c'mon, it's cramped as heck back here!

What the-but you're The Author! You're the writer; it's not like you're back there with the...oh, right...nevermind.

Forgot again, huh?

Yeah, eh-heh, kinda did...well, you wanna go first then?

Heck-yeah I do! Bring it on!

...you gonna come out from behind the curtain?

The Great and Powerful Author has no need to come out from behind the curtain-hahahaha!

Volare, have you been showing The Author old movies again?

Volare: Why ya ask?

*points*

*grins*

Volare: ...oops?

*facepalm* Let's just get this over with before-

Trixie: Wait a sec, I'm the only Great and Powerful one around here!

"Were."

Trixie: Yes well-wait up here-how dare you? *lights horn* I will reclaim my title eventually, but that doesn't mean you can steal it, you huge-ego'd foal!

Watch it Trix, or I'll write ya outta the story. *smirks*

Trixie: But you...you can't do that! I'm one of the featured characters! Besides, I thought this was a retelling, not a work in progress!

Hmm...Trixie suddenly suffered a tragic fall out of her little ivory tower so terrible that not even her hard head saved her from it!

Trixie: You wouldn't dare!

...try me, babe.

Trixie: Oooh, why you-!!!

Besides, aren't you supposed to be all humble and what-not now?

Trixie: Humbled yes, helpless no!

Prove it!

Trixie: Well, since we all know how good you are at catching, if you know what I mean-

Applejack: Calm down, sugarcubes! V-Pony asked us ta come together peaceful-like, an' Ah doubt this is what he meant by that! Right, V-Pony?

Yeah, exactly. Thanks, AJ.

Applejack: Shoot, ya'll gotta do better at takin' control o' situations sometimes.

But there's a curtain in the way.

Applejack: That's a lamer excuse than why Ah didn't take kindly ta Trixie...

But I-

Pinkie: Hey, if you close your eyes with all this noise and bumping around, it sounds kinda like porn back here.

Rarity: Pinkamena Diane Pie, that is terribly uncouth!

Pinkie: Well it kinda does.

Big Mac: Eeyup.

Rarity: Ach, I don't believe this...

Pinkie: What, it's not like you're totally in the dark on it, so to speak-heehee. Remember those magazines I found under your bed, Rare?

Rarity: Uh-well-bu-no, no I most certainly do not!

Pinkie: Well I do~

Applejack: Anytime ya wanna lay down tha law would be just dandy, V-Pony.

Alright, that's about enough! Everypony listen up: This will be semi-organized and peaceful or I WILL reach back there and turn this sucker around myself! And what the hell-no more porn references! Sound fair enough?

Everypony: *nods*

*facepalm*...you're all behind a curtain, I can't see you nodding if that's what you're doing.

Scootaloo: We are!

Thanks, Scoots...hopefully we can get through this in one piece...So without, further ado, let's bring out the first of our guests, The Author!
....Author?

Yep?

You gonna come out here and speak?

Still nope.

Any particular reason why?

Spoilers, duh.

Oh, right...

Plus I'm the Great and Powerful Narrator!

Oh for the love of-I'm technically the narrator; you're just the writer!

Ok, ok, just...look, you can hear me just fine from out there, right? So just ask me and I'll answer; simple.

Oh, alrighty then...um, let's see...first question comes from djthomp:
Ok, for the author, what led you (at least for the time being) to kill off any TwiVolare shipping, was it part of the plan from the beginning? I'm assuming it wasn't just to make me happy.

Seriously?

That's the question *shrugs*

Alright, I'll do my best...ok, look...djthomp, nothing made me kill off the shipping; I pretty much had nothing to do with it. It's just bad luck, that's all. There was no "plan" from the beginning...in fact, from what I gathered from Twilight and Volare, what they decided to do was fairly mutual-you'll see more of what I mean in the story soon enough. True, they'd make kinda a cute couple, Twilight was right: she was just holding Volare back, and she had to go!

Volare: That's kinda harsh, ya know?

What, it's true! And you both turned out ok afterwards, right?

Volare: Yeah, all things considered...

C'mon, where's Twi at anyways? Twi, you back here somewhere?

Twilight: Yeah, I'm here. What's up "Author?" *wink*

Hey, you and Volare turned out ok even after you guys decided not to be a couple, right?

Twilight: Oh, well, for the most part, we did, yeah. Granted, it's not like it was something we wanted to do at the time...it was more something we had to do so he could fly without being afraid of worrying me. Does that answer it pretty well; it's still kinda tough to talk about, ya know?

O-oh, yeah, yeah, that's plenty, Twi...just...know that I'm sorry, ok?

Twilight: No need to apologize.

Ya sure?

Twilight: Positive *smiles*

Heh-thanks...so yeah, there you go. There wasn't a plan for this from any "beginning", and it wasn't done to make anypony happy. It was just the truth, and this time, the truth sucked. *shrug* Got any other questions for me, V-Pony?

Um, yeah, we've got a few from E3gner here:
Honestly, where do you get all the music videos. Do you just think of them on the fly and find them on YouTube quick?
Is Lyra Hooves going to be the evil mastermind (so much knowledge on humans after all :pinkieshrug:)
Volare + Twilight or Volare + Dasher?

What the hay...ok, the music videos I get from V-Pony who helps me edit them into the story based on the music that Volare played for everypony at the time. Lyra Hooves...you mean Heartstrings, right? Nope, she's about as far from an evil mastermind as you can get! That's just crazy...but now that ya mention it, it would kinda make sense at the same time...Lyra, you back here?

Lyra: Yep, sure am! Ah, ow, tripped...I'm ok, I'm ok...dern uneven floors. What's up?

This is gonna sound crazy but...are you an evil mastermind?

Lyra: Uh...I don't think so. Why ya ask?

Cuz E3gner was curious, since you have all this knowledge on humans and stuff.

Lyra: Me? Nah, I really only know about their stuff like their socks, tires, and newspapers (which according to Volare are pretty old and outdated anyways). I'd like to know more about them in general though, so it's a good thing Volare used to be one, eh? If anything, I'd say Volare is the evil mastermind since he knows everything about humans!

Volare: What the-that doesn't make any sense!

Lyra: I know, right? *grin*

Volare: ...

Lyra: What?

Volare: Nevermind...Author, keep going.

Will do! Volare + Twilight or Volare + Dasher... What the hay kinda math problem is that? Urgh, I hate weird math like this!

Volare: Uh, well...Twi, what do you think?

Twilight: Hmm, it appears to be an abstract problem with no real numerical solution because the variables are undefined.

Volare: *facehoof* One is too straight-forward and one is too neurotic to give a straight answer...guys, it's not a math problem. It's a question of pairings.

Ah, I get it now. Um...well, seeing as how I'm the author and know the answer to how that turns out...I could answer it...but I don't wanna spoil anything either...so...pass. E3gner, you'll find out soon enough *smirks*

Volare: I don't like this sneaky crap...

Dash: Heh-heh, like the Author said, you'll find out soon enough, flyboy!

Volare: Why do I get the feeling you two are in cahoots...

Dash: Search me *shrugs*

Volare: How am I supposed to do that when you're on the phone, Dashie?

Dash: Yep, guess you're just gonna have to wait, buddy!

Volare: Thou vexes me sorely, Rainbow Dash

Dash: Ha...wait, say what?

Big Mac: Eeyup.

Dash: So not needed right now, Mac!

Applejack: Let's just move along afore somepony gets gets a headache.

Fair enough. Let's see, what else have we got for ya, Author...here's one from Chiman1293: Do you have alot planned for Volare now that he can fly again or are you going to ground him again?

Hmm, like I said before, I'm really only just recalling past events here, so it's not really planning anything per-se. However, I will say that Volare's about to have some...rather interesting events happen to him (some on the ground, some in the air), but nothing too terribly crippling. *grins*

Volare: V-Pony, I'm a little scared now.

Oh, you have no idea, pal.

Volare: This ain't funny, McGee!

Trust me, it's not as bad as you think. Perhaps a little painful and embarrassing, but beyond that-

Volare: I'll find where you sleep at night-both of you-I swear!

Pinkie: Ooh, kinky~

Dash: Hey no fair-what about me, flyboy? *laughs*

Volare: What the-?!

Big Mac: Eeyup

Volare: *facehoof* Let's just...move on before I do something regretful...like jumping off a cliff.

Pinkie: But you can fly now, silly.

Trixie: Alright, lay offa him already! He's stressed enough as it is.

Volare: Thanks, Trix. V-Pony, you got anything else for the "Great and Powerful Author?"

Yep, here's another one from Jayfeather97: Author, when will Volare let anything slip more openly with knowing about them before, I mean I saw SOME slips but not big ones, but I'm just asking will you include bigger slips or not with the intent of hiding it from them forever?

Oh trust me, it's getting easier the longer he doesn't think about it...but one particular mare won't be deterred by simple shrugs and question dodging...not to mention he can't exactly run from her, heh-heh. So it's gonna get tougher...he'll slip eventually...but maybe it'll be easier if he does, hmm?

Volare: V-Pony, I think the Author is abusing me.

Nope, The Author is merely retelling this in a past tense...they have nothing to do with what happened; you know that.

Volare: Yeah, well this omnipotent teasing crap is getting on my nerves.

Dash: I kinda like this Author.

Volare: Oh you would, Dashie.

Dash: Hey, what's that supposed to mean, huh?

Volare: Not tellin' *grins*

Dash: Hey Author, if you write Trixie falling out of her little tower, can you have her land on Volare? That'd be hilarious!

Volare: This is weird as hell...Dashie, you realizing you're arguing and pleading with-

Author: Sheesh, I'm not that kinda author; I'm not the creator, just the recounter...person...thingy...got any other questions for me, V-Pony or should I jet before I piss somepony off? ^^;

Um, yeah, I have a few more here. From Knowledge seeker: When will Volare give us a little more information about his family?
Ah, right, that...perhaps that question is better reserved for Volare himself, eh? Hey Volare?

Volare: Mhm?

Same question: When will you give the readers more info on your folks?

Volare: Oh, um...can we talk about this later? No offense Knowledge seeker, but that's...well, still kinda a touchy subject for now. You'll find out more about them soon enough, just...not right now...sorry.

Trixie: *pat pat* It's ok...the past can hurt sometimes....still, it's better to learn from it than run from it.

Volare: Hahahaha!

Trixie: What, what did I say?

Volare: Oh-heh-heh, nothing Trixie, you just...sounded like a monkey for a sec there.

Trixie: ...I don't get it.

Volare: Nevermind...Knowledge seeker, you and the others will hear more about them eventually; promise. Anymore for The Author?

Hmm...there's a combo question here from D48, but it has to do with unicorn magic...

Eh-heh, probably won't be much help there.

We'll come back to that later, then. Let's see...well, this is the last one for ya, but it's a bizarre one.

I think I can handle it.

Ok...from Beyond the Horizon: Final question, for the author. Could you deliver this message to the Boss for me? I know who you are, I know what you are, but most importantly. . . I know where you are. Soon. . . hehehe eheheheh. . . soon. ~Signed, the Contradicted Spiral. And thats it. Dunno who it was, seemed like a nice chap.

...Oookay, that was pretty weird. I'm not about to talk to that guy though...so how about you give it to him?

Why me?

Cuz you're V-Pony, the omnipotent narrator-guy!

Doesn't make me immune to harm, pal.

Yeah, well...I just refuse to talk with the guy, ok?

Totally reasonable; he's a real prick sometimes, ya know?

Yeah...well, um, if that's all for me, I'll get outta your manes! See ya!

Volare: Well, that was...different. Does this mean the Q&A will be kinda normal from here on out?

For the most part, I suppose. So! Who wants to take their questions next?

Dash: I will! I'm not afraid of some crazy questions (plus I gotta get back to business).

Volare: Business? What kinda business? Didn't you already delivery the day's mail?

Dash: Duh, dude. I gotta catch up on my napping.

Volare: ...seriously?

Dash: Hay yeah! So bring on the questions, V-Pony!

Haha, alright, alright, simmer down, Dash. First ones! From American Brony: Rainbow Dash: Uh, how, famous and revered is Commander Hurricane in Cloudsdale? Also, just what are some of the Big Duties of being a weather Mare? I also heard you are Captain of the Weather Team, what is that like?

Dash: Ok, this'll be a snap! First off, Commander Hurricane is only one of the original founders of Equestria, and it was by her leadership and fortitude that the Pegasi constructed Cloudsdale north of Ponyville. And although she was pretty old when it happened, she led the Pegasus forces in the War of Chaos against Discord over 1100 years ago! And we all know how that turned out: ol' Discord stuck in a statue and Celestia and Luna leading us in harmony ever since.

Volare: Wow, I didn't take you for a history buff, Dash.

Dash: Eh, it's nothin' special, really. Had to learn it at the Flight Academy when I was a little filly...I guess she was just cool enough to stick in my head, heh-heh. And American Brony, you heard I'm the Captain of a Weather Team, eh? Guess my reputation of awesomeness proceeds me more than I thought.

Volare: *facehoof*

Dash: Being a Weather Team Captain is hard work-heck, bein' a Weather Pony in general isn't a trot in the park either! It takes alot of training and self-control to get as good as me, but hay, I guess if anypony else dedicated themselves to being the best like yours truly, I'd have some decent competition.

Applejack: Let's jus' get back on point afore yor head gets too big an' pulls ya away from tha phone, sugarcube.

Dash: Oh, right, where was I? Oh yeah-being a Weather Captain! It's great if you know how to lead and motivate others (but that kinda comes with the job description). It involves being supportive for your teammates, but also knowing when to be tough when you have to. It's probably not nearly as hard as being the Mayor or being a Princess, but ya still gotta know how to lead a team. Hopefully the Wonderbolts notice that enough to let me into their group sooner or later *squee*.

Scootaloo: She's so awesome, right bro?

Volare: If awesome is an ingredient in a self-flattery machine, then yep, I'd say so, heh-heh.

Dash: Hey watch it, you! Just wait till I get back to town and I'll show ya!

Volare: If you say so Dashie, but considering you're just a voice over a phone line right now, it'd be safe to say you're *puts on flight goggles* nothin' but talk! Haha!

Dash: *grumble-grumble* Next question, V-Pony!

Righto! From Chiman1293: Rainbow Dash, you find out that Volare has gotten into the Wonderbolts, and you haven't. How do you react?

Dash: What the hay...well for one, I'd wanna know whose flank he's kissing and two...scratch that, no two. He'd have to be kissing major flank for that to happen. And I don't answer impossible questions. Next!

So you don't think he'd ever make it in there?

Dash: Hey, I never said he wouldn't! I just said it'd be impossible for him to make it and not me-I mean, come on, I'm the best flier in Equestria! What the hay could he do to make it in before me, huh?!

Hey, don't get mad at me; I didn't ask the question, Dash!

Volare: That's assuming I'd even want to be in their group...

Dash: Yeah! Wait, huh, you wouldn't wanna be in there, flyboy? Why not?

Volare: Well, for one, like you said, I'm not nearly a good enough flier to get in there. Two, that's your dream, not mine...and I wouldn't wanna undercut ya like that. And as for kissing major flank...rather figuratively or literally, I'd rather not; being a brown-noser's not exactly my style.

Dash: I like the way you think, flyboy! Leave the professional stuff to the pros-me!

Volare: *rolls eyes* Next question!

Got it! From Brony Assasin: Rainbow Dash: How do you feel about the fact that Volare somehow knew about you, and had a patch of your awesome cutie mark sewn into his flight jacket. What are your intentions for Volare in the future, and how do you feel about Scootaloo and Volare being surrogate siblings? By the way, you are best pony...

Dash: Heh-heh, thanks dude, but don't state the obvious too much or it'll start getting on everypony's nerves *smirk*

Everypony else: *rolls eyes*

Dash: Anyways...about that patch...I really just wanna know how the hay he knew about me...and why he had that patch. As for how I'll find out, well...I've got my own plans for that, which also involve my intentions for him-and seeing as how he's standing right here listening...I think I'll leave it a surprise for him.

Volare: *gulp*

Dash: And when did Scootaloo and Volare become siblings?! I mean, that's kinda weird, but kinda awesome...but how?!

Volare: You'll find out soon enough, Dashie! You're not the only one keeping surprises in the dark.

Dash: Grr, next!

From Beyond the Horizon: To RD: Been a while hasn't it? Anyways, whats your normal workout routine like? What is your favorite food? Do you know Kamina? And finally, what do you know of. . . the Spectra Force?

Dash: Um...I don't know who Kamina or the Spectra Force is, but they sound pretty sweet. Maybe Volare'll explain it later, eh? As for my workout routine...well, let's see. Depending on the weather and my schedule, I usually start out with a few leg and wings lifts with ice weights, then I move to flying laps around my house until I work up a good sweat. Then, if I don't have weather duty, I work on my Wonderbolts tryout routine; it's top secret though, so I can't tell ya everything...but I suppose a little hint wouldn't hurt, hee-hee. Let's just say the finale is rather...explosive.

Scootaloo: Wait a sec, so you explode?!

Dash: Nah, but I'll bet your little eyes'll pop outta your head when ya see it, squirt.

Scootaloo: I dunno if that sounds sweet or...just plain creepy and gross...

Volare: I'd go with gross, sis.

Dash: It's just a figure of speech, sheesh! Favorite food...that's easy: cinnamon oatmeal. I always start my best days out with it! Bring on the next question!

From MoonlitDawn: To Dash: Do you think that Volare will ever be on-par/better than you at flying or weather control?

Dash: Hmm...nah. I mean, aim for the stars, but not the impossible, ya know?

Volare: Oh, ha ha ha...we'll see about that, Dashie.

Dash: Whenever you're ready flyboy; just name the time and place!

Volare: Grr, next question!

Another from Chiman1293: Rainbow Dash: Volare has pulled off a sonic rainboom. A) How far did your jaw just drop? B) What do you do?

Dash: Whoa, that's kinda out there...unless he learned the technique of doing it...nah, he couldn't cuz I haven't taught him how. But let's say he somehow pulled it off and somehow learned hot to control his body and somehow was in good enough condition that it didn't tear him to pieces-

Volare: oO;;

Dash: -then my jaw would probably be right where it is now. Cuz he seems pretty determined and if I taught him how...well, then I'd expect him to pull it off! As for what I'd do...I'd give him the biggest high-wing in history, that's what I'd do! Can you imagine us both doing that at the same time? Dude, it'd be wicked!

Volare: Eh-heh, let's not put the cart before the horse, Dashie.

Dash: I know, I know, it's just....man, that'd be so sweet!

Volare: Maybe...

Dash: No maybe, dude! If it comes down to it, I'll teach ya if ya wanna-though I still doubt it's possible for anypony but yours truly to do it...

Scootaloo: You can do it, bro!

Volare: I'm honestly torn between pride and self-preservation here.

Fluttershy: Just don't do anything you're not completely sure you can do, Volare. Remember the lessons!

Volare: Right, to push your limits, you first must know where they lie...thanks Flutters. Next question!

Right! This one comes from BrilliantPoint: Rainbow Dash,
You've seen Volare fly in his jet and keeping up with you, do you think he will manage to do that as a pegasus? I have this sneaky suspicion he might actually give you a run for your bits, if not beat you.
Brilliant Point
PS,
In my humble opinion the Blue Angels are far more awesome than the Wonder Bolts (however they are very good second).

Dash: Hmm, I dunno...I haven't seen him fly in person since he crashed, so...still, in a straight line, I doubt it; you know who you're talking to here? *Flexes wings* Fastest feathers in Equestria, baby!

Volare: It's not all about speed, Dashie. Technique comes into play too.

Dash: Pfft, technique, smechnique! It's all about speed and power! And as for the Blue Angels being better than the Wonderbolts...you better watch it, buddy! They're only good cuz of their jets. Take those away and you have flightless humans stuck on the ground! Us pegasi, and especially the Wonderbolts, don't need machines to do what we do best! Next question!

Last one, believe it or not.

Dash: Aww, I was having fun-oh well, I gotta get back to work here, so bring it!

This is from Soviet Bacon: What is the pony version of Phillycheese steaks if there is one?

Dash: Well, that's probably the weirdest one I've gotten so far...um, I honestly don't know, pal. I mean, Zipscale had some roast beef, but that stuff made me queasy to look at, so I can't imagine what that'd look like with cheese and stuff all over it-blech. Well, if that's it, I'll be headin' out! See ya guys soon, and Volare...

Volare: Yep?

Dash: I'm gonna have questions...and you better have answers ready cuz you probably don't wanna find out how I'll get'em outta ya otherwise, heh-heh.

Volare: Eep!

Dash: Hahaha, see ya! *click*

Volare: Yes...yes you will.

Scootaloo: Bro, are you mad at Dash?

Volare: Huh? Oh, no, no, not mad, just...ready to take her down a notch or two, that's all.

Scootaloo: Whatcha mean?

Volare: Don't sweat it Scoots. Hey, how about you take your questions next, eh?

Scootaloo: Oooh, I got questions!? V-Pony, gimme-gimme-gimme!

Haha, alright, alright, hold onto your wings, squirt. Come on out here on stage with your bro and we'll get to them. Everypony else, just sit tight and we'll call ya up when your turn comes; it'll be more organized this way.

Scootaloo: Sweet! C'mon, Volare! Whoa, there's a buncha people out there in the crowd!

Volare: You don't get stage fright, do ya?

Scootaloo: Pffft, nah, me and the CMC put on a rock show once in front of a lot of ponies before; this'll be a snap. V-Pony, let's do this!

Okey Dokey. Let's see here...aha, got one from Camlio: Dear Scootaloo, "Alright this question has bugged me for a bit now and since it pertains to you I thought I'd send this question to you directly. We who have watched from behind the veil... That's who's Pinkie's looking at when she makes no sense by the way. Say hi to her for us. Oh right question, well we wanted to know if your hairstyle is meant to imitate rainbow dash or if it's just naturally messy for a Pegasus?"

Scootaloo: Oh, um...nopony's ever asked me that before, heh-heh. Well, it's kinda funny that it looks sorta like Rainbow Dash's, but it's been like that for as long as I can remember, so...I dunno. Then again, I've known Dash since I was really little, so maybe it just grew in that way...I dunno? *shrug*

Volare: Heh, it's ok squirt. Got some more for her, V-Pony?

Eeyup. From D48: Scootaloo: how would you feel about Volare dating Rainbow Dash?

Volare: OO;

Scootaloo: Hahahaha, that'd be pretty sweet, but I dunno...I don't think they like each other much to be honest.

Volare: W-why ya say that, Scoots?

Scootaloo: Oh, you guys are always acting tough around each other, flaring your wings and staring each other in the face. Looks kinda like you're always arguing, even over the phone, ya know?

Volare: Oh, well, ya know...it's all in good fun, sis (totally nothing else, be it voluntary or not...) ^^;

Scootaloo: Suuuure... Besides, my bro's too cool on his own to date Dash, right bro?

Volare: Eh-heh, if you say so...next question, please.

Got it! From Chiman1293: Scoots: You find out that Volare is dating both Twilight and Rainbow Dash. What is your reaction?

Scootaloo: Whoa, that's way out there, dude...and kinda crazy. I've never heard of a stallion having two Special Someponies before...I guess um...I'd wanna know why one is good enough, I suppose.

Volare: Ahem, well Scoots, if I were dating-which I'm not for now-I'd be faithful to one and one only...dating two at once is just asking for trouble, I say. *whispers* V-Pony, she doesn't know the situation between me and Twi. Next question, and quick!

Oh, crap, right right! Scootaloo, here's another one from Menelaus Redz: Scootaloo/Sweetie Belle/Applebloom: Now that Scootaloo's brother can fly, what will be the first crusade attempt to gain all of your cutie marks?

Volare: Oh crap...I almost preferred the double-dating question...

Scootaloo: Well, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle aren't here right now, so I'll answer that one: you know we've got some crazy stuff planned! We've got Cutie Mark Crusader Sky-Divers, Cutie Mark Crusaders Cliff-Climbers, and Cutie Mark Crusader Volcano-Researchers. YAY!

Volare: Help me...oO;

Scootaloo: It's gonna be awesome! Oh, and Cutie Mark Crusader Spelunkers too!

Volare: Wait, isn't that cave exploration?

Scootaloo: Mhm, Spike suggested it (probably cuz he wants us to find him some gems to eat).

Volare: Heh, sounds like Spike alright. Honestly, I'd rather take that one over...Volcano Researchers...eesh.

Scootaloo: You forgot the yay.

Volare: Say what?

Scootaloo: You gotta say YAY at the end of each one.

Volare: Why's that?

Scootaloo: I dunno, it's something we've always done. *shrug*

Volare: Oh, ok. Cutie Mark Crusader Spelunkers-YAY!

Scootaloo: That's right!

Now that's just plain adorable, right there.

Volare: Very funny....next question please!

Well, this one is more of a request than a question...from clonezero: CMC trio-hug?

Scootaloo: Aww, of course! But it's a quar-um...quad-no...you forgot about Volare!

Volare: Quartet, and I'm good. You go hug him.

Scootaloo: Ok! *hugs clonezero. You're welcome! Next question!

Ballor_I: Scoots, why are you so adorable with Volare?

Scootaloo: There's that word again...but I guess I'm just endearing like that, huh? I dunno, I've never had a brother before, but I gotta say: he may be a klutzo sometimes, and he may not be perfect, but I love him all the same, cuz I'm not perfect either...it's just fair like-oof!

Volare: *hugs* Not gonna cry, not gonna cry, not gonna cry!

Scootaloo: Bro, you're squishing me!

Volare: Ah, sorry, sorry...just too darn-

Scootaloo: You say cute and you're gonna get it *shakes hoof*

Volare: ...adorably awesome?

Scootaloo: We'll go with that *grins* Got anymore questions, Mr. V-Pony?

Um, nope, that's all of them, Scootaloo.

Scootaloo: Aww, ok. I'll see ya later guys! *heads back to Sugarcube Corner*

Volare: Heh, love that kid...*sniff*

Yeah, we can all tell.

Volare: Hey, I mean that in all seriousness!

Yep, and so do we, dude. You're doing a great job so far, so keep it up!

Volare: I'm trying, believe me...so who wants to go next?

Twilight: I'll go, actually *trots out on stage*

Volare: Good luck, Twi! *heads backstage*

Twilight: Thanks. Heh, I've gotta get to work on a counter-spell so Volare doesn't mess me up and-whoa, that's ALOT of humans out there! *stares into crowd* Grr, if only it was me asking questions instead of answering them!

But considering the fact that you spent nearly 4 days questioning Volare, we'd be here all year if you got that chance again.

Twilight: Eh-heh, I guess that's kinda true *blushes* Anyways, looks like there's quite a few questions there for me, so let's not dilly-dally!

So, first question! From Cheese Bread Eddy: Twilight: How does it make you feel to know that magic is possibly influencing your feelings toward another stallion? If I was in your position I wouldn't be a happy camper to know that magic, which is my special talent, is making me play emotional gymnastics.

Twilight: Oh trust me, it came as a bit of a shock to say the least, but this isn't the first time my sensitivity to magic has messed with my emotions...happens alot more often than you think, believe it or not. Being what I am has its benefits to be sure, but I have to take them in stride with the bad news too every now and again. As for how I feel about this whole situation...for one, I'm so embarrassed that I acted that way in front of my teacher, sister, and brother back in Canterlot. Two, I'm really more glad than disappointed, and lemme explain why: I'd rather have a relationship built upon values, rather than circumstance. Now that I think back on it, Volare and I had just met, and really only for a few days. In all honesty, he's spent more time with Fluttershy than me and by that logic he should be in a relationship with her if things like that are built upon time. Still, perhaps things like that aren't meant to be quantified...oh well, the reason I'm glad is because now that we know it was all circumstantial, we can both live to our potential and not cautiously hold each other back, ya know?

I think you might be rambling there, Captain Tangent.

Twilight: Eh-heh, yeah, just a bit ^^; So, bottom line: I'm kinda disappointed, but more happy that we know the truth and therefore know how to better handle the situation. Next question please.

Yes ma'am! From Camlio: Dear Twilight, "Have you wondered if your feelings may have not completely been caused by the spell, but, were in fact dramatically increased? We who watch from the veil can see that there was a definite progression in your feelings that would suggest that they would reach that level on their own given time. But, the spell may have accelerated said growth."

Twilight: Hmm, you know, I never thought about that before; sounds like a valid theory to me. However, I believe we can all agree that what was happening was not in either Volare's, mine, or anypony else's best interest. Some things are...just not meant to be rushed, I suppose. Next one please.

You ok, Twi?

Twilight: Mhm, just thinking, that's all.

You sure?

Twilight: Positive, now bring the next one. I'm ready!

Here it is...whew, this one's a doozy. From American Brony: So, how hard is it running a Library in Ponyville? Also, another question that stems from Hearth Warming Eve, well a bit of clarifications. From what I have heard, Starswirl the Bearded is rather important to Unicorn magical understandings, yet... from what I have understood from the play, The Adviser to the Queen of the Unicorns was in fact tutored or Apprenticed under Starswirl. That means that this famous Pony, served and lived before the coming of the Royal Sisters, and.... before Discord. Uh, just actually, I guess I am trying to in a way talk to the professor in the sense to see if my Logic is correct. Is it? If it is not, where did I go wrong?

Twilight: Wow, that is a doozy...let's start with the easy stuff first. It's not too terribly tough running the Library in Ponyville (honestly, I wish it were a bit tougher, if you know what I mean).

Whatcha mean by that, Twi?

Twilight: I mean there's not much traffic through it. Not saying the citizens of Ponyville are, well...uneducated, but they just don't seem to need to check out books too terribly often, that's all. At least the CMC are in there fairly regularly, though I've gotta be careful in what I loan out to them, especially after the Hearts and Hooves Day incident.

Oh yeah, that...who knew Big Mac and Cheerilee could be so destructive?

Twilight: Well, love is quite the powerful emotion after all; it quite literally gave Big Macintosh the ability to move houses, hahaha! Anyways, next bit...Starswirl the Bearded, my personal idol! Well, besides Celestia of course ^^; I won't go into too many details, but suffice to say that many spells, encantations, and studies in regards to magic today are based upon his research. It's true what you say in that Starswirl did tutor Princess Platnum's advisor, Clover the Clever. And yes, this does mean that Staswirl lived in the time before Discord. He lived for quite some time, in fact, serving the Princesses and even helping to devise the Elements of Harmony that defeated Discord the first time! So yes, your logic is quite correct (and don't feel too terribly bad-the history of Equestria and this planet are quite long and confusing, even to me!). Next question!

Gotcha! Ah, another one from Brony Assasin: If Rainbow Dash and Volare do become a couple how will you react, and how do you feel the influence of magical attraction will affect you at that time?

Twilight: Well, that's kinda jumping the gun, dontcha think; I mean, beyond causing him to crash time and time again, what good has Dash done the poor guy? I'd kinda be disappointed if they got together too quickly, but that's their business, not mine, honestly.

Well, she did save his life during those crashes and the Cryhena attack.

Twilight: True...but darn it, Dash is just so...ooh, she frustrates me to no end sometimes! Meh, anyways...as far as magical attraction goes, hopefully I'll have figured out a counterspell by then or Volare's body stabilizes itself; that way, if there are any feelings flying around, we'll know they're genuine and not the product of weird circumstance.

I think he means will the nature of Volare's body affect Dash the same way it effects you?

Twilight: Oh, almost certainly not! True, she's very in-tune with her own magical abilities, but I seriously doubt she's that sensitive to something like that...at least, I hope not. The last thing we need is two crashing pegasi, right? Anyway,s next question!

Ah, here's one I've been wondering about too. From Chiman1293: To Celestia or Twilight or who ever can anwser this question: If small amounts of magic excape Volare's body, does this make him like part unicorn?

Twilight: What? No, not at all! From what I can gather, that's simply a side-effect of the nature of his body. The more stable his body becomes, the less that should happen, and so far, the best way I've seen for him to control that extra bit of magic is to use that sound equipment, as crazy as that sounds. As long as it's being focused and controlled, it should be fine. The problem might arise whenever he's not using it...still, the more stable he becomes, the less the side-effects should be noticed. And if he trains himself, he'll be able to further control his willpower, just as I had to do for myself when I was younger. Combine that with a counter-spell from me and it should be all but nullified and things can proceed normally! Got another one for me, V-Pony?

Eeyup. Ooh, here's a good one from D48: If magic is based on confidence and willpower, does that mean unicorns could get more powerful when under the effects of mind-altering substances that suppress the more logical parts of the brain which would normally say something is a bad idea or outright impossible?

Twilight: Yes, very much so, and not just for unicorns. Drugs like the ones slipped into Trixie's drink or even mind-altering spells can do this. The only problem is, with the removal of the sense of self-preservation comes the increased risk of permanent or even fatal harm. Remember, though the will of a pony can be near-infinite, the body can only take so much before simply shattering under the stress. The mind as well as the body must be able to cope with the stress, therefore extensive training is required for a pony to reach their potential. There was even a rather controversial study many centuries ago of something like that being used on ponies to make them more capable in tasks, but it damaged their bodies so much that the long-term risk wasn't deemed to be worth it. Ever since then, the usage of such things for those reasons has been strongly cautioned against.

Eesh, sounds dangerous.

Twilight: Yes, it truly is. Look what happened with Discord and my friends. He basically suppressed their memories of themselves and their friends, which in turn suppressed their consciences...and look how cruel they became; all because they didn't care...that was a really tough time, but we made it out. You don't know how hard it is for you to look your friend in the eye, tell them who you are and what they mean to you...and you get nothing but scornful laughter in return...*sigh*. I never want to experience anything like that ever again. Next question.

Twilight, I-

Twilight: Next question...now...please.

Sorry...yeah, here we go. From BrilliantPoint: You let Volare know that he had a patch on him that looks exactly like the cutie mark Rainbow Dash has, what are your theories on why he had this on him?

Twilight: Ah, that. I didn't so much let him know but reminded him of it-he and I were in the same room when Dash made that little announcement, remember. As for why he had it on him...the only logical explanation is that he somehow knew of her back on Earth. Heh, dumb prism-head problem got herself spotted doing tricks and he got inspired by her or something...you have any ideas, V-Pony?

Um...nope?

Twilight: Huh, oh well...guess we'll find out when he's ready to tell us, huh?

Guess so...ok, we have one last question here-what the hell, it's for you, Volare, and Trixie. Hey you guys, come out here...you may wanna see this.

Volare: What's up?

Trixie: Yes, what's going on? A message for all three of us? From whom?

Someone called Twisted Visions...anypony you guys know?

Twilight: Not that I can recall, no.

Volare: That's a negative, Ghostrider.

Trixie: Sounds like somepony with a bad taste in showbiz names, heh-heh. What'd they say?

Um, I dunno if you'll like this or even wanna answer this one...Anyway, I hope I am not too late but Volare, Twilight, and Trixie. What are your greatest fears hmm? Oh and Jillian... You have such a beautiful name, but that temper should be worked on. No telling what more trouble you could get into.

Twilight: Well...that's pretty creepy. I think i'm gonna pass on that one oO

Trixie: Same here.

Volare: I wanna know who the hell that was! I mean, you think by Jillian they meant Jill...as in Ray and Jill?

You got me; there's no other writing or anything on the paper.

Volare: Well, if they know those two, I ain't responding to that either. Twilight, should we send somepony to investigate?

Twilight: Yeah, I'll do it. Anymore questions for me, V-Pony?

No, that's it.

Twilight: Good; gimme that note. I'll run some tests on it and let you guys know if I find anything about its origins. Nice talking with everyone! *gallops away*

Trixie: Well...

Volare: Yeah...you knew Ray and Jill fairly well, right?

Trixie: Somewhat, yes. I mainly took them for a pair of foolish cheap hires, but that was apparently the plan the entire time, so I never really got to know their own contacts. Dammit...

Volare: Hey, you didn't know, ok? Those two fooled everypony, me included...hell, they even tricked Luna and Shining Armor, so don't sweat it, alright?

Trixie: If you say so...I'll still tear those two apart if I ever meet them again.

Volare: Well, I'll be right there with ya, cuz we both owe them an ass-kicking!

Trixie: Indeed!

Volare: Hey V-Pony? Since Trixie is out here, you wanna read any questions for her?

Trixie: Oh, the readers want to ask me a few things, hmm? Well let's have them!

Ok, ok! ^^; First one comes from American Brony: Trixie: Do you have any plans for after you help finish rebuilding the Cafe? If you like, I have an idea that can do well maybe for earning some bits... Use your magic performances to perform for little Colts and Fillies? You seem rather good at it.

Trixie: Oh, um, actually I don't know what I'll do to be honest. I'm kind of like Volare in that I'm trying to take life one step at a time for now. But now that you mention it...you really think I could do something like that?

Volare: I think it's kinda sweet, Trix.

Trixie: You don't think it's...strange?

Volare: Nah, I don't think so.

Trixie: Hmm....perhaps I'll consider that. Many thanks! Next!

From Applejack-fan: Seeing as you're getting approval from about everypony in Ponyville, do you think on establishing your new life there? Cuz from the looks of it, you got quite a bunch of friends ready to help you rehabilitate there. Hmm, kinda the same question as before...soo, no idea so far?

Trixie: Well, it's not quite the same question. I never considered living in Ponyville, mainly because I'll bet the residents still aren't very fond of me.

Applejack: Shoot, ya'll got us ta back ya up, sugarcube; so dontcha worry bout that none!

Trixie: Wow...you really mean that, Applejack?

Applejack: Sure as shootin'! Don't act so surprised, Trix; it's what friends do fer each other.

Trixie: But I haven't done anything to warrant something like that in return.

Applejack: Heh-heh, ya'll got alot ta learn about friends, Trixie. It ain't all about returnin' favors and such. It's about bein' neighborly an' helpin' yer fellow pony when they need it, even if they ain't asked for it. So like Volare said: don't sweat it; we'll getcha established an' it'll be just peachy!

Trixie: Th-thank you. Thank you all! Alright, after I help fix what I broke, I'll find a job and place to live in Ponyville! Damn, I feel good! Next question, V-Pony!

Haha, that's the spirit, Trixie! Here we go, one from MoonlitDawn: What job do you think you'll get in Ponyville, if you do choose to settle down there?

Trixie: As Applejack-fan said, I think I'll likely do something entertainment-wise, perhaps for the little ones in the hospital. Or perhaps I'll even work for Lyra and Bon-Bon...you know, help win their respect after ruining their place of business; I feel I owe them that much. We'll see what happens, but I'm quite hopeful for the future now! Let's keep it rolling!

Oh, that's actually all the questions for you, Trix.

Trixie: Only those few...ah, oh well. I hope I helped to clear up a few things. Goodnight everypony! *trots off-stage*

I think she'll be fine.

Volare: Yeah, I just hope she doesn't overdo it, ya know? I'll be back here if ya need me *trots backstage*

Indeed...ok, who wants to go next?

Rarity: I shall volunteer! *trots onstage* Are there any questions in that stack for me?

Yes ma'am, I believe there's a few here.

Rarity: Oh pish darling, don't call me ma'am; it's short for madam and it makes me sound old.

Oh, heh-ok, Ms. Rarity.

Rarity: Much better! ^^

Here's one from Menelaus Redz: "Do you have an eye on somepony whom you would like to be your special somepony? If so (and if you are willing to), what is this pony's name?"

Rarity: Oh-oh my, um...eh-heh, there are certain things a lady does not reveal about herself: her age, her weight, and whom she has her eye on. The first two should be rather obvious as to why, but let me explain the third one, if I may. A lady, especially a business-mare like myself, would be wise to keep that under wraps in case she chases away some of her clientele due her choice in admiration, as well as-

Applejack: Oh lighten up, Rare! Who's tha lucky fella...or filly? *eyebrow waggle*

Rarity: Ugh, I certainly won't be telling you, Applejack!

Applejack: An' why not? Afraid Ah can't keep a secret?

Rarity: Telling a secret isn't telling a lie, so yes, I am rightfully leery of telling you my secret admirations! Plus I honestly wouldn't put it past you to swoop in and steal him yourself.

Applejack: Aha, so at least we know yer barn door don't swing both ways!

Rarity: Well, that's all you'll get out of me, and that's final!

Applejack: Alright, alright, don't getcher saddle in a bunch, girl. Hey Menelaus Redz, ya'll may wanna let this'n go. Next question, V-Pony!

Thanks AJ

Applejack: Not a problem.

Ok...oh, oops, that was the only one, Rarity.

Rarity: What!? No questions on how long and hard I had to search for the silk for Volare's scarf? No questions on the cost of it or how long I slaved over my sewing machine to weave it?!

Apparently not, sorry.

Rarity: Well then, obviously not a terribly fashionable crowd; I think I see one of you wearing all white back there in the back, and this long after Labor Day too! Hmph, good day everypony, I shall help prepare Volare's little surprise for Rainbow Dash...Celestia knows she deserves it, hee-hee-hee. *trots away*

Applejack: Shucks, she seems kinda moody...oh well, that's pretty much par fer the course fer her anyways. Who's next?

Fluttershy: Um, I'll go next, if that's ok with you guys.

Pinkie Pie: No problem! Go gettem, Flutters!

Fluttershy: *shoved on stage* Oof! Oh...my...*shaking*

Uh oh, what's wrong?

Applejack: Ah, applesauce, Fluttershy gets stage fright. Not as bad as Rainbow Dash does, but still purdy bad.

...Seriously? She can stare down a dragon and yet she gets stage fright?

Fluttershy: ...yes

Oh, um...would it help if you imagined the audience naked?

Fluttershy: eep...

Applejack: That's just gross, sugarcube.

Or maybe in their underwear-it's what I was taught way back when.

Applejack: You humans got some strange ways a teachin' yer youngin's.

Well, what would you suggest? Since she's good at staring down dragons, imagine the whole room full of them?

Fluttershy: oo...*flies up and hides in the rafters*

Applejack: *facehoof* Nice one.

...great. Hey, I'm sorry Flutters. Can you please come down.

Fluttershy: Um...no....I think I'll just answer my questions up here, please.

Volare: I'll go sit up there with her *flies up and sits next to her*. You doing ok, Flutters?

Fluttershy: Could be better...

Volare: Well, I'm right here if ya need me, so let's answer these questions and you can go home, ok?

Fluttershy: O-ok...

Volare: Ask away, V-Pony!

Uh, alrighty then...first one from Menelaus Redz...hmm, same kinda question he had for Rarity. Do you have an eye on somepony whom you would like to be your special somepony? If so (and if you are willing to), what is this pony's name?

Fluttershy: Oh my, um...

Volare: You don't have to say it, Flutters *pat pat*

Fluttershy: No, but I want to, it's just...he's right there *points behind stage curtain*

Volare: Oh...oh I see...No problem, Fluttershy. I think I know who you're talking about. Any reason why?

Fluttershy: Um, he's just...really patient and nice...yep.

Volare: Aww, that's sweet. V-Pony, next question.

But wait, who is it?

Volare: Don't worry about it, dude. Next question.

But-

Volare: Next. Question. Please.

Jeez, ok, ok...from BrilliantPoint: Fluttershy,
Congratulations on getting Volare in such a good shape with your training, the nickname Miyagi is well deserved.
How did you feel when you finally saw Volare take to the sky in such a spectacular fashion? I hope he didn't scare you too much when he flew through the orchard when he got too low to the ground.

Fluttershy: Oh goodness, I was a little worried he might get hurt again, but the more he flew, the more I saw he knew what he was doing, and I stopped being afraid. I started cheering him on instead! Needless to say, my soul soared just as high as he did ^^. And thank you for the nickname too, hee-hee.

Aaaaaand, we're done.

Fluttershy: That's it?

Quick and painless.

Fluttershy: Oh, well...that wasn't bad at all. And nopony out there laughed at me! Still...better not push it too much. Later, guys! *flies off to her cottage*

Volare: *lands on the stage* Heh, hard to believe that jumpy mare showed me how to be brave in the air again, huh?

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd hardly believe it. Who wants to go next?

Pinkie: Oooh me, me, me-pick me!!! *hops out on stage*

Hahaha, well, seeing as how you're already here, Pinkie, I say that's not a problem. You ready?

Pinkie: As a perfectly-baked batch of brownies!

Well then, here we go!

Pinkie: Woohoo!! Ooh, can I read the questions myself?

Oh, um, I guess so. Here ya go.

Pinkie: Thanks! Let's see here...ok, here's a good one from American Brony. Hey, you guys just had an election, right?

Wait, how'd you know about-

Pinkie: Well, duh, anypony who's anypony knows about that, silly!

I'm a little scared that you know about this stuff...

Pinkie: Why, who won?

Um...the incumbent.

Pinkie: Aha, that's kinda a weird name though...Incumbent...I thought it was Obama; oh well, good luck to him and America! But here's the question: Are you still planning that party for Volare? How are the babies doing? Ohoho, I sure am! He's gonna love it! And the Twins are mostly fine now; just can't let them have dairy for a while...ew, you do not wanna know the fudge I've had to wade through!

Well, that's just lovely...

Pinkie: Are you crazy?! It was like a hot fudge mudslide at one point!

I really don't wanna know about-

Pinkie: Wait, that's cuz the oven kinda exploded...hee-hee, my bad. Anyways, next question! Here's one from Menelaus Redz: Hope you get better soon! Aww, that's sweet, but I'm not the one who was sick, silly. But thank you all the same! Hmm...here's another one from that crazy D48 guy...him and his wild Polar Bear face-he's so cute, yes he is!

How did you know about his-oh never mind. Let's just keep going before I get a headache.

Applejack: *pat pat* Good answer, sugarcube, good answer.

Big Mac: Eeyup.

Pinkie: D48 writes: Can I have a cupcake? Hmm...no can do.

Aww, well that's kinda-

Pinkie: You get a dozen cupcakes! And what better way to deliver than with my *pulls out her* CUPCAKE CATAPULT! *launches cupcakes into the audience*

Great, now all we need is for Gallagher to show up, and-

Pinkie: Oooh, I've got a hammer too *pulls out hammer from-yep, you guessed it*

*facepalm* This is madness...

Pinkie: Madness...?

Oh shit...

Pinkie: *grins* This! IS!! PINKIE PIE!!!! *smashes cake all over audience* Woohoo, yeah! Get some!!

*wipes frosting from face*...you about done?

Pinkie: Yep *licks frosting off face* Oops, almost ate the questions there.

Yeah, that wouldn't be good-we'd have to call the Cutie Mark Crusader Surgeons...YAY!

Pinkie: No need for that. Next question...um...oh, it's under the chocolate-silly me! From Beyond the Horizon: You remember the little bash we're having two weeks ago yah? Just forget to remember the memory and take a left through the Wall. You know the one.
~Your friend from across the Wall and through the Veil, BtH. Oh yeah, I remember that one. We used waaaay too much rum in that rum cake, hahahaha! Luckily, we used protection, so it's all good.

Um, you what? oO;

Pinkie: Used protection. You know, for the eyeballs from the rum cake craziness?

Oh, right...dunno what I was thinking there...

Pinkie: Oh, but I do *smirk* V-Pony's got a dirty mind.~

Lalalalalala, not listening! There any more questions in there?

Pinkie: Nope, here's the rest of the questions. See ya guys! *hops away*

Jeez....I feel like my heart's gonna explode or something.

Pinkie: You need to drink less coffee! *keeps hopping away*

I KNOW!! Ok, who's next?

Applejack: Well, Ah'm tha only Element Holder left, so Ah guess Ah'll go next. Whatcha got fer me, pardner?

Hmm...here's one from jackal4563: Applejack, what could convince you to willingly eat another sort of fruit aside from an apple? (i.e. pears, bananas, oranges, etc.)

Applejack: Well shoot, we already do that, sugarcube. Big Macintosh an' me tried growin' pears this summer, but they didn't sell too well...so we ate'em ourselves, heh-heh! Beyond that, we grow plenty o' other greens, albeit in smaller crops than our apples. We got carrots, celery, pumpkins, squash, an strawberries too! Tha only real reason we grow so many apples is cuz them trees have been here for decades, and it wouldn't make sense ta tear'em up just ta try new stuff. So we make do with smaller batches where we can. Tha other reason is cuz tha apples sell better than tha other stuff (mainly cuz other Earth Ponies, like Carrot Top, are better at growin carrots, fer example). So, it's kinda a business decision, and kinda a personal choice. Got any other questions for me, V-Pony?

I don't think so, no. That was the only one. You're welcome to stick around though if ya wanna help keep these guys in line, though.

Applejack: Well, that's mighty kinda ya, sugarcube, but Ah gotta help Grannysmith get dinner started.

Aww, ok. Say hello to her for me-oh, and Applebloom too!

Applejack: Sure will. See ya! *gallops off*

Big Mac: Eeyup.

Whoa, what about you, Big Mac?

Big Mac: They got it covered. Ah'll help ya hold down tha fort till it's all done, pardner.

Oh, why thank you.

Big Mac: *nods* Who's next?

Um, well besides the questions for Volare, which we're saving till the end, the rest are kinda scattered now...let's try alphabetical order!

Big Mac: Sounds good ta me.

So that'd make the next pony...um, actually not a pony at all.

Bic: Huh, who is it?

...Lieutenant Cadence!

Big Mac: Who?

Volare: No kidding? She a pilot I flew with the day I crashed and came here, Big Mac.

Big Mac: Aha...a lady-friend of yours, eh?

Volare: Yeah-what, no, not like that!

Big Mac: Uh-huh...

Volare: Meh, whatever. How the heck would we ask her if she's back on Earth?

Well, maybe you can answer the question for her?

Volare: I can try.

Here it is, from clonezero:
Human Blue Angel Pilot named Cadance: Will we ever get to a point where you encounter pony princess Cadence after which Volare drops a lame joke about it?

Volare: Seriously?

Big Mac: Eeyup

Volare: Yeah, not gonna happen....next!

If you say so (I think that'd be hilarious myself)...ok, next pony! You know what, everypony else come on out here! Next questions are for...Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!

Octavia: Um, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Mr. V-Pony, but they're not here this evening. They couldn't get away from Canterlot.

Ah, I see...

Iron Will: Heck, why don't ya just call them with that phone system of yours, huh?

Good idea! *dials* I hope I'm not interrupting anything...

Ring-ring....ring-ring...ring-ring-click!

Celestia: Hello, Princess Celestia speaking. Need a little light in your life, well you've come to the right place!

Oh, um hello ma'am. This is V-Pony, the manager of the Blue Angel project.

Celestia: Oh yes...I've heard of you.

Er-heard of me?

Celestia: Why yes, both good and bad and everywhere in between. It is my business to know what goes on within the borders of my kingdom, isn't it?

I-I suppose so. But what bad have you-

Luna: Tia, come on, who's on the line? Why don't you drop the "high-and-mighty" act for once and just be polite?

Celestia: Well, circumstances being what they are-

Luna: Just because I'm beating you at video games doesn't mean you can be a grouch to everypony who calls the castle. Here, put me on the line.

Celestia: No, I'm quite capable of-hey-ow, ouch-ok, here, here, take the blasted thing! By my name...

Luna: Hello, who's there?

Um, are we interrupting anything, Princess Luna?

Luna: Oh, no, it's just as you heard: Tia often beats me at video games and all of a sudden, I'm on a roll and she turns into a grouch.

What're you playing, if I might ask?

Luna: Battlemare 3. Haha, I've-what's the term-been "pwning her all evening" because she's a nub!

Celestia: ...noob, the term is noob! Get it right if you're going to trash talk, Lulu!

Luna: Oh, oops...I'm still kinda new at this sort of thing. ^^;

Celestia: *grumbles* obviously...

Haha, well don't let us interrupt too much, but I've got a few questions from the readers of the Blue Angel project here, if you've got a few minutes to answer them.

Luna: Oh, yes, I've got a few moments to spare (besides, Tia needs a break-I'm on a 29 kill streak against her).

Celestia: It's not a killstreak, Lulu; this isn't Call of Pony, it's Battlemare 3!

Luna: Well, either way, you haven't "fragged" me in nearly half an hour, so you need a break. Let's help V-Pony with his project really fast and then we can get back to it.

Celestia: Oh alright, fine...put him on speaker.

*click*

Celestia: What's your first question, V-Pony?

Well, it's not technically my question, though it is something I've been wondering lately. This comes from D48: Princess Celestia: What do you think of Trixie and what has happened to her in her life? This includes why you gave up on her as your student in addition to everything that happened afterwards.

Celestia: Trixie? As in the Great and Powerful Trixie?

Yes, though she doesn't go by that moniker anymore.

Celestia: Ah, any particular reason why?

She had a building fall on her and Volare talked some sense into her while they were trapped.

Celestia: Oh...well, my condolences to them both. I hope they're ok...please forgive my sharpness; I didn't realize the situation was so serious.

It's fine (I can get worked up playing games too). But back to the question.

Celestia: Yes, of course. Well, I do remember tutoring a unicorn named Trixie years ago, but she just wasn't cut out for the task I was preparing for; so I had her moved to a different class with suitable tutors.

And what task was that?

Celestia: ...it's truly none of your concern, for it has already passed and it was quite the success. As for Trixie, I didn't abandon her...I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but I was rather desperate at the time and...I might have gotten careless...reckless, even. Heaven knows I likely owe her some sort of apology, but when she dropped out of the Magic School, I thought it best that she find her own way (and as said, I was desperate and time was short). So I picked a pupil more suitable to the task.

Twilight Sparkle?

Celestia: The same *nods*

So what do you think of Trixie now?

Celestia: I'm glad she's finally gotten some common sense; I hope she finds a more clear path in life now. And as always, she's welcome to return to the School for more lessons.

Oh, don't worry about that-she's got a better plan!

Celestia: Oh really...and what might that be?

You'll find out soon enough, more than likely...ma'am.

Celestia: Fair enough. Do you have any further questions?

Yes, one from BrilliantPoint: Dear Princes Celestia,
Due to your experiences with humans you have become understandably wary of them, especially considering the impressive technology they now have. How do you see their future with what you now know about them, and how do you see this influencing Equestria?
Sincerely,
Brilliant Point
PS,
Luna is best pony.

Celestia: Is that so...? Well, as amusing as that is, I must be frank: I feel I'm best pony.

Luna: *whispers* That's what she always says.

Celestia: Hush, Lulu; big sis is talking now. Ahem, as for the humans...I see their future as fairly bleak unless they can turn their ship around, so to speak. If they don't, it will hit the proverbial iceberg and capsize, and that will be the end of that.

Wow, that's pretty harse, ma'am.

Celestia: Being a ruler sometimes necessitates giving honest opinions, no matter how harsh they may be, young one. As I've told Twilight Sparkle, it's a heavy burden to bear, and honestly not something I'd wish on anypony else without the fortitude to carry it. If it gives you any solace, I do have hope for humanity if more of them are understanding and patient like Volare is...but from what Twilight reported, few are like that.

That's true, unfortunately.

Celestia: Que sera sera, I suppose...still, I wish them the best of luck. Any further questions?

Um...simply a further statement from BrilliantPoint:
Dear Princes Luna,
You are best pony.
Sincerely,
Brilliant Point

Luna: Huzzah!

Celestia: ...I believe we're done here. Good luck with your project, V-Pony! Come Lulu, time to end your killstreak!

Luna: Haha, the frags shall be doubled by the time the night is over!

*click*

Big Mac: Well, that was different. Never seen that side of them two before.

Yeah, me neither...huh, guess they're pretty normal sisters when they're not busy in court. *shrug* The next question is for...well, a pony that has yet to make an appearance in the story, Cloud Kicker!

Cloud Kicker: That's me, that's me, coming through! S'cuse me, Big Mac...whew, you're alot bigger in person if ya know what I mean *eyebrow waggle*

Big Mac: Erm...*gulp* Not sure whatcha mean, miss.

Cloud Kicker: Pfft, yeah you do *hip bump*. But I'm not big on the whole "In public" thing, so let's get down to business. You say you got a question for me?

Uh-huh, just one...oh damn, um...

Cloud Kicker: What is it?

Volare's gonna kill me...here it is, from D48: Cloud Kicker: when are you going to start making Volare feel incredibly awkward by offering casual sex? I bet he would be really cute blushing and tripping over his words.

Volare: *falls over on stage* WHAT THE HELL KINDA QUESTION IS THAT?!

Cloud Kicker: Volare...oh yeah, the new guy-all blue and yellow, crazy mane. I've seen him around, but nope, I haven't offered...yet. *turns to Volare* Hrm, there's nopony backstage right now...you up for a quickie, big guy? *flutters eyes*

Volare: I-er-uh...eh-heh, how about not right now, ma'am *backs up*. A little help here, Big Mac?

Big Mac: Uh-uh, you're on yer own, pardner. That mare is crazier'n a bag full of cats!

Volare: *flies behind V-Pony* How about you just go on home and we'll discuss this later.

Hey, don't use me as your human shield, dude!

Volare: Why not-it's not like she's into humans too!

Cloud Kicker: Hmm, not yet anyways *smirk*

...Oh hell no...

*five minutes later*

Ok *gasp* I think we got the door locked.

Volare: You think?! You better, dude!

Cloud Kicker: Hey come on, I was only joking! We don't have to have a threeway here ya know!

Lalalalalala, not listening!~

Volare: Jeez, let's just go to the next question already!

Yeah, good idea! Um, another one from Beyond the Horizon: Where the bloody blue blazes is the Doctor?! I swear, if he's late for another invite, I'll hunt him down myself! That's actually a semi-relevant, safe question.

Volare: Yeah...wait, who's The Doctor?

Big Mac: Oh, that feller. Met him back in tha market tha other day. Brown spiky mane, green tie, hates pears.

Volare: Wait a sec...I think I know him, or well, of him, anyway. Come to think of it, he never did show up tonight, huh?

Nope, sent him an invite but we got no reply...kinda means this question from Akula417 won't be answered either: Doctor, are you simply making a cameo and stating your distaste for pears, or do you plan to have a more significant role in the story? Huh, they make it sound like the guy can just pop in and out of the story whenever he pleases...weird, huh?

Volare: Yeah, weird ^^;. Think he'll show up again?

Who can say if he really is like that...oh well. Next one! From clonezero: Hospital Reception Desk Pony: How close are you to a mental breakdown?

Reception Pony: Very! I need a bloody vacation! Between watching Luna shout the walls down and being semi-threatened by Trixie, I've about had it! And don't get me started on what happened at my house after work last night!

Would it help to talk about it?

Reception Pony: Probably not...but here goes anyways. I got home, and the roof on my house was gone!

Like, it fell in?

Reception Pony: No, gone! As in vanished! What the hay's up with that?! And there was a massive crater in the backyard of the house next door to mine too! Knocked over half my fence!

Who lives next door to you?

Reception Pony: Oh, somepony calling himself The Doctor or something...why?

Volare, I think I know what happened to The Doctor.

Volare: Yeah, me too..hey sir?

Reception Pony: Yeah?

Volare: You can go now. Go take a day off or something.

Reception Pony: Oh believe me, I will! *trots off*

Jeez, must be tough running that place.

Volare: Apparently...anyways, next question?

Yep! These next ones go out to Iron WIll!

Iron Will: Oooh yeah, bring'em on!

Another one from Menelaus Redz: Iron Will: ... You rock! *thumbs up*

Iron Will: OH YEAH! Tell me somethin' I don't know! *flexes bicep* What's next?

A little more serious this time, from clonezero: Iron Will: what are your plans for the future?

Iron Will: Oh, uh...hmm, good question. I was honestly gonna help Fluttershy and her pets this winter, but beyond that...I've actually been considering being a monster hunter.

What the-seriously?

Iron Will: Well yeah. There's plenty of 'em skulkin' around the Everfree threatening her cottage, and what better to catch a monster than with another monster, right? I'd need a partner though...heh, maybe Angel since he terrifies just about anything he comes across anyways!

Haha, makes sense...any other plans?

Iron WIll: Besides that and sleeping...I got nothing. *shrugs*

Well, whatever floats your boat, dude. That's all the questions for ya.

Iron Will: Cool beans! I'll see ya'll later; I'm gonna go catch some Z's! *thunders off stage*

Heh, we're getting a little thin up here on stage. Next questions are for Octavia Philharmonica.

Octavia: Thank you, thank you *bows*. Do I have fans out there in the audience?

Oh, more than you realize.

Octavia: Really? Well, pray tell what their questions are, good sir.

Okies, here's another one from Menelaus Redz: Octavia: Do you string your bows with your own hair (probably tail)? Also, you are best pony!

Octavia: Ah, thank you for that! Ha, wait till I tell Vinyl that I'm considered best pony...but yes, I do in fact string them with my own tail hair, believe it or not. Gives me a more personal connection to them as well as being a rather convenient source of material. And before the thought crosses your mind, no I do not use my own earwax, as Vinyl has often insinuated. I use beeswax, thank you very much, and it works out quite nicely. Any more questions?

Yep, one more, but it's more of a request...a weird request...

Octavia: Does it involve Cloud Kicker and casual sex?

Um, thankfully no.

Octavia: Then I've already seen worse tonight; let me have it.

Okey dokey...this one comes from clonezero: Octavia...will you sign my face?

Octavia: ...well, color me speechless, that's certainly out there for a request. Still not close to the strangest one I've ever received from a fan, but that's definitely top-five.

What was the weirdest one?

Octavia: It came from Cloud Kicker; need I say more?

Oops, nope, no need! ^^;

Octavia: I didn't think so. Well, Mr. clonezero, meet me after this little show and I'll...sign your face. That's just so strange though, isn't it?

There's a reason they call them "fanatics." *shrugs*

Octavia: True, true. Well, if that's all for me, I'll be off! Ta! *trots off*

Volare: Who's next? We've only got a few left, and I'm the only pony left here besides Big Mac!

Yep, that's true...uh-oh, I hope you're not the only one left; we're gonna need Fluttershy for these next ones. Has she left yet?

Volare: I dunno, why?

Cuz the questions are directed towards animals that can't speak English, and perhaps Fluttershy can translate.

Volare: Oh, I see...hey Flutters, you still back here? *flies behind stage*

Fluttershy: Eep, you scared me!

Volare: Ah, sorry, we need ya up on stage, quick!

Fluttershy: Why, what's happened?

Volare: We need an animal translator, of all things.

Fluttershy: Oh, um, perhaps Twilight would be better at that.

Volare: But she's long-gone. C'mon!

Fluttershy: Oh, ok...*flies on stage* Who do I have to translate for?

These two, Shae and a Cryhena...a relatively well-behaved Cryhena, to be more exact.

Shae: Cheereek!

Volare: Yeah, I've been eyeing him all night; I thought they were vicious and evil!

Fluttershy: Oh, no, no, no, only when they're hungry and in large groups. Otherwise, they're fairly docile.

Well, good thing we have an expert on hand. Let's go! Ok, for the Cryhena, from clonezero: What are your feelings about how you and your race were represented in this story?

Fluttershy: Ragh-grr-gragh-rrrr-ruff-grr...

Volare: Is this for real?

Cryhena: Hee-hah-grah-grrr-ruff!

Big Mac: Eeyup.

Fluttershy: He says he feels they were represented honestly and truthfully, and he's proud they've gotten a mention. That's all. You can go now.

Cryhena: Ruff-rooooo! *runs off*

Friggin zoo in here, I swear...ok, next one for Shae, from Menelaus Redz: What are your thoughts on Volare's first flight?

Shae: Cheereek-chirr-tchewk-tchewk-tchewk-screekeep!

Fluttershy: She says he's still rough, he needs to work on pulling out of dives more smoothly since he nearly knocked her off the fence, and he can't fly level farther than she can swim.

Volare: Hey, what the-I thought I did just fine, thank you very much! I didn't crash!

Shae: *rolls eyes* Cheek-eek-eerp-ek-ek-ekeerk!

Fluttershy: Oh my...she says you've got a fat head...

Volare: Shae, I thought we were pals!

Fluttershy: ...but a good heart, so there's plenty of room for improvement.

Volare: Oh...heh, thanks Shae.

Shae: *nods* Cheekeek!

Fluttershy: Do you need me anymore? Angel was being moody and I'm afraid if I leave him and Iron Will home alone, there won't be much home left to live in by the time I get back, eh-heh ^^;

Oh, well then you won't live Iron Will's idea much, then...

Fluttershy: What is it?

Iron Will wants to be a monster hunter and basically use Angel as an attack bunny enforcer-thingy.

Fluttershy: ...Iron Will, don't you dare! *flies off with Shae in hot pursuit*

Volare: Well, that escalated quickly.

Indeed...huh, only one question left before the big stack for you and me, pal.

Volare: Who's it for?

Spike of all persons...hey Spike?

Spike: Zzzzz...

Is he seriously asleep on stage?

Big Mac: Too late fer him ta handle, Ah reckon.

Volare: Spike, wake up!

Spike: Huh-wha, mommy?! *glares* You're not mommy...

Volare: Hardly. We're at the end of the questions pal, and the last one is for you.

Spike: Oh really? Finally, I'm getting some recognition again! What is it?

It's from BrilliantPoint: Spike,
Where do you keep finding those aprons?

Spike: Dude, seriously? You dragged me out here and woke me up for that?!

That's what it says. *shrug*

Spike: Yeah, I'm outta here...and I get them from Iron Will, if ya just gotta know *grumbles and staggers off stage*

Volare: Pffft, he gets them from Will?

Apparently that kitchen line of aprons wasn't the only one he sold-hahaha!

Big Mac: Hmm-hmm, well, if'n that's all tha questions for us regular ponies, Ah'll be seein' ya. Take care, ya'll! *trots after Spike* C'mon buddy, A'll getcha ya home.

Spike: Aww, that's awfully nice of ya, Big Mac....zzzzzz

Volare: *shakes head* Baby dragons...the sleep machines of Equestria. So, what've we got left?

Basically nothing but questions for you and me, pal. And since nopony else is here, you don't have to hold back on the answers, so this works out pretty good.

Volare: You plan it this way?

Kinda; figured it'd make things a little easier on ya...you ready?

Volare: As I'll ever be. Bring'em!

Ok...there's a lot of repeat sort of questions in here about you doing a Sonic Rainboom, among other things. You wanna just answer them all at once?

Volare: Sounds like a plan.

Volare: *facehoof*

Ok, the ones involving the Sonic Rainboom are from Silverhero, MoonlitDawn, ChaosMarineBrony, all basically asking if you can perform one, with MoonlitDawn asking if you can make one with giant angel wings (cuz that'd be awesome). Any response to those?

Volare: Hmm, well, seeing as how I just got back in the air, it's kinda doubtful...I'd have to learn it from Dash, master it, and according to her, there's the problem of being torn to pieces by the forces it generates...so, as of right now, not likely. In the future, who knows? I'd like to try but I got a feeling that it's unique to her and her alone (plus, who knows if she'll even teach me her signature technique?) Next questions!

Yessir! Here's some more kinda on the same subject from Man Of War and BrilliantPoint about how and when you'll tell Dash about that patch in your flight jacket, with BrilliantPoint wanting to know how you'll handle the situation with Twilight since she knows about it. Go!

Volare: Eh-heh, now I think I see why you saved mine for last, huh? Well, in all honesty, I'd almost forgotten about it until Twilight mentioned it...but right after she mentioned it, I was able to fly, so it's obviously pretty important to me. Oh, and as for Twi knowing about it: she was there when Dash waved it in under my nose when I was recovering from my crash, so she knows plenty about it already. How and when I'll explain it to everypony is a different story altogether. I mean, how can I explain it without seeming like I'm crazy or something?! *sigh* Don't worry, I'll think of something sooner or later...Next questions, please!

Gotcha! We're motoring through these things! Oh, Man Of War also mentioned that you and Scootaloo make great siblings, so props to ya there, dude!

Volare: Aww, thanks! I just hope I can live up to her expectations and be a good influence on her...and not screw up again...

What was that?

Volare: Nothing, nothing-next question!

If you say so...next question comes from American Brony: So, once you get back into the air, what do you plan on doing? What are your plans for the future? Or is it just, get back into the air and see what happens next?

Volare: Well, I'm already pretty much back in the air. Now I just gotta get into the swing of things around town, find a job, rebuild the cafe, probably learn how to build a cloudhouse or something...that sorta thing. Plus winter is coming sooner or later, so the quicker I can get this done, the better, right? Next!

Here's one from Chiman1293: You find out that you have gotten into the Wonderbolts, but Rainbow Dash hasn't. How do you react? How do you break it to Rainbow Dash? Do you even tell her?

Volare: Oh wow, um...that's the thing: to get in, you have to train and tryout...but maybe that's not what I'm cut out for here? I mean, I obviously wasn't cut out to be a Blue Angels pilot back on Earth, so why the equivalent here?

Aww, don't be so tough on yourself, man. What happened wasn't totally your fault.

Volare: Yeah, it was...if I hadn't gotten distracted by whatever the hell that thing was, I wouldn't have crashed. Looking back now...gawd I was so stupid! I deserved to crash...

Volare, that's just stupid talk, now you knock it off right now, ya hear me?

Volare: Fine...sorry Chiman1293...let's just say I got in somehow. I'd be elated of course. As for how I'd break it to Dash...jeez, that'd be tough. I mean, that's like her lifelong dream, ya know? IT'd be like stealing someone's dream before they could get there and waving it in their face...but if I don't break it to her, she'd probably find out eventually...and probably kick my ass for keeping it a secret, heh-heh. Anyways, next!

Okies...here's another one from BrilliantPoint: Is there any way I can convince you to let me in on the prank you are going to pull on Rainbow Dash?

Volare: Sorry, but I'm gonna have to decline that one...it's gonna be secret to all not directly involved until it happens, but trust me: it's gonna be awesome...if it doesn't kill me, that is ^^;

Alright, looks like we've got some questions here about music and media and such. From Beyond the Horizon: What other melodious music will you regale us with next eh? What do you think about being a walkin MP3 player? What's your favorite food? Finally, what do you think about the show on Earth and where you are now? (That is to say, how do you think Earth has Equestria as a show, yet where you are is a real, physical place?) I have some theories, but I'd like your take on it. And Twilight's, eventually.

Volare: Wow, buncha stuff...hmm...I guess it all depends on the situation. I never thought of myself as a walking MP3 player, but now that ya mention it, it's kinda neat that I can do that. My favorite food? Well, before coming here, it was probably barbecue ribs, but I seriously doubt those exist here. Since coming here, my favorite food has gotta be Sweet Apple Acres apples, and all the fixin's you can make with them, of course! As for the show and the real place existing at the same time, that's been throwing me for a loop every time I think about it. Gonna have to do some research with twi on this to see how the heck it's even possible, so I'd assume she'd give the same answer as well. We shall discover the truth, though!

Sweet, I'm sure we'd all like to find out about that! From Jayfeather97:
Volare: Can you play this please, so I can see the reactions of the ponies, you haven't played any heavy metal yet.... Awesome song all the way through but best part is definitely 3:13 - 3:29

Or can you play if it's Nightmare Night please

Volare: Heh, we'll see how things shape up (I'm not a huge fan of heavy metal is the thing.) I've got an idea of what to do for Nightmare Night, though! Next!

Ok, yet another one from Menelaus Redz:
Volare: Are you planning on introducing Octavia and the others to the music of the Piano Guys? ( http://www.youtube.com/user/ThePianoGuys ) I think that they would like it. Also if you had to guess, what do you think your cutie mark will look like/mean?

Volare: Hmm, again, I never really listened to that sort of music much, so I wouldn't be able to reliably recreate the notes and music is the thing...however, I have heard of a song by those guys, believe it or not:

So...I guess I could play that and see if Octy likes it. As for the cutie mark...jeez, as bad as this sounds with the CMC trying to help me with it, it's hardly crossed my mind lately...guess it all depends on what I end up being good at, huh? But for now, I've got nothing...seriously. ^^; Next question!

Here are a few more from Knowledge seeker: Do you think you could ever play movies or T.V. shows on Vinyl Scratch's device. I just can't help but wonder how they would react to some Disney movies or some syfy show like Eureka or Stargate.
Also...Are you okay...do you want someone to talk too. I'm here for you whenever you ever need me.

Volare: Aww, yeah, I'm ok, thanks for asking. ^^; At least I know I have someone to talk to outside of this world now...as for the TV shows and movies and stuff...I dunno, I'd have to ask her about that. I mean, her talent is in music, but she's such a tech whiz that I'm sure we can put something together. That'd be pretty sweet; I'll bet Scoots would love Top Gun.

That cheesy movie? Sheesh...

Volare: What? So it's cheesy; it's also awesome! Anyways, next question!

Comin' down to the end here...some more from D48:
Volare: Do you have any plans to troll Celestia with some disturbing music when she asks you to play for her? I figure she has it coming with all the shit she pulls, and if you need some ideas I think these would work. They are not the best songs by the respective bands, but the lyrics should get her seriously wondering what is wrong with you and why the others like your music so much.

Also...Do you ever miss any earth food, especially meat?

Volare: LOL, I dunno if I wanna push things that much! It already sounds like I'm walking a fine line as it is...and yeah, like I said earlier, I miss barbecue, but in all honesty...I'm not saying to go vegetarian or anything, but I've never felt this healthy before in my life!

Yeah, that healing spelll had nothing to do with it...

Volare: Oh shut up. Next question!

Ok, these next ones are kinda sensitive, so bear with me, ok? One from E3gner:
Why is Rainbow Dash the best out of the other mane-6?

Volare: Oh, heh-heh, I wouldn't say better, I'd just say...well...hmmph, this is a little tougher than I thought. It's hard to explain but...let's just say that she's helped me through some stuff I wouldn't have made it through without her, and we'll leave it at that...I feel that after that, she'll always be "best pony" in my mind. Next!

Yeppers! Last one from D48:
How do you feel about Rainbow Dash? We have not seen much interaction between the two of you, and she does not seem to have been on your mind much with all the other insanity in your life so we do not really know where you stand at this point.

Volare: Come to think of it, you're right; we really haven't spent that much time together, huh? How do I feel about her? Well, I'm glad she was able to inspire me to fly to my full potential, but I'm still miffed about what she's said about me, and the situation between her and Twi...I'm gonna fix that soon, though. Overall, I'd say I just really miss her and can't want to show her what I'm capable of now (and probably return the hug she talked about too, heh-heh). Next one!

Last one from Camlio: Dear Volare, This question will be simple friend of the veil, if you asked Rainbow Dash or Twilight out on a date and they said yes, would you be surprised? While I know that may be putting the cart before the pony so to speak. We have seen many things and we wish for an honest answer.

Volare: Huh, again, something I never really put alot of thought into till now. I mean, up until Twi's revelation about why those feelings for me existed, I probably would have eventually asked her on a date...thing is, like I said, would it really be fair, though-with me knowing her long before she met me? I just don't want her to be creeped out, ya know? Same with Dash. For me to ask either of those on a date now...nah, just too soon; sorry if that's lame as hell, but until I come clean, I just wouldn't feel right with it. Got anymore?

Mhm, last ones...oh boy...

Volare: What is it?

...I dunno if you'll wanna answer this one or not, but just know you don't have to.

Volare: Lemme have it.

Ok...from Brony Assasin:
How did you first become a brony, and why was rainbow dash so inspirational to you? How do you feel about the fact that you are now able to fly alongside her as a Pegasus?

Volare: Ah shit...well, the second part I can answer no problem: it's gonna be pretty sweet. The first part though...well, she's an inspiration to me cuz while I was trying to get into the Blue Angels, she was trying to get into the Wonderbolts, so our parallel endeavors was rather inspiring to me. As for how I became a brony, well it happened in Fall of 2011...but how I first met her...that's still pretty damn painful to talk about. Just...suffice to say that without her, I wouldn't be here, and I don't mean because she saved me from the plane crash...she saved me long before that...just, V-Pony, can I go now?

You ok, dude?

Volare: Yeah, I just...I'm done. Sorry folks, but I just gotta go...good night... *flies off*

Damn...I'm sorry man...sorry about that, guys; guess it's still pretty tough for him. Maybe we'll find out eventually, huh? Anyways, we're nearly at the end here, and there're a few questions for me. Hrm... Tyrannosaurus Tux writes: Imma not check the other comments and ask this
What video games you play? We could frag each other sometimes.

LOL, good ol' Tux...you know, he's been following my story longer than everyone else here save for Hazard. Well, Tux, *que hokey accent*... I don't always play video games, but when I do, I prefer Black Ops. I might pick up Halo 4, but I dunno...

Let's see, what's left...
Dancing Dead: V-pony, what's in Fallowstone Cave?
Heh, if you're referring to the one in Skyrim, it's not what's in the cave that's important, but rather, what it leads to: The Giant's Grove!

And the last one for me: Dapurple writes: This story reminds me of this:

Also, WHEN will we find out what Celestia meant about the planet? Same with Volare being a brony.
Aha, I was wondering when someone would ask about that. Suffice to say that, if from what The Author tells me is true, it's quite the little discovery, or rather a RE-discovery, that Twilight, Volare, and Dash make up in ol' Canterlot. As for Volare being a brony...you'll see...you'll see.

Alright folks, that's it for this Q&A! Tune in soon for the next exciting update in...hey, what the heck is this? It's another stack of questions, but they're...they're not for the good guys...
Lord Frigus: Are we allowed to ask the villains questions?
More of you guys had some questions for the villains too? Oh, and you were even kind enough to include the number to call...great. I just know I'm gonna regret this...

*dials numbers*

*ring-ring...ring-ring...ring-ri-click!*

Jill: Yello? Agent F, this better be you, cuz The Boss is pissed off and wants to speak with you right now!

Um, no, this isn't Agent F, this is-

Jill: Well then get the hell off the line; this is for reserved callers only!

Boss: Wait a moment, Jillian...who is it?

Jill: Not Agent F.

Boss: Hmm, is it that pizza place calling about their missing delivery pony, because I'm looking at most of him right now; the rest of him is in the billiard room, I think...

Jill: Uh, is this Pony-John's Pizza?

I don't think so, no.

Jill: Well then bugger off!

Boss: Wait...they must have called for a good reason, plus how'd they get this number anyway? Put him on speaker.

ka-tick

Boss: Hello, who is this and how'd you get this number?

My name is V-Pony, may I ask your name?

Boss: No you may not; nothing personal, but it's just too great a security risk right now. Just trust that I'm on the line and listening, and that's all you need to know for now. What is your purpose for calling me?

Ah, I see...well, I'm the manager of the Blue Angel Project, and I'm in the middle of answering numerous questions of the project's followers. They gave me this number so I could call and ask you a few questions as well in regards to your recent actions.

Boss: Hmm, I don't recall hearing of this project from any of my subordinates...they must be falling asleep on the job again. Oh well, I can always get new ones...or just tear the eyelids off of the ones I have to prevent that sort of slacking off, heh-heh. Do your acquaintances work for Celestia? If so, I'm hanging up. But if not...well...V-Pony, I have a few spare moments, so ask away-but be quick about it!

Uh-r-right. Here's a question from Lord Frigus: I'd like to know what Ray and Jill think of their boss's plan to get Volare to join... whatever the hell it is they're doing.
I'd also like to know, given what time it is, if they've got anything planned for Nightmare Night. I think that could be a cool bonus chapter.

Boss: Chapter? What the hell's he talking about?

Oh, the Blue Angel Project is a written one recounting the events surrounding the pegasus named Volare.

Boss: Oho, is it really? That would imply you have information on him, hmm? Well, you just may have peaked my interest. Raymond, Jillian, please answer Mr. V-Pony's questions; if he were here I'd ask you to offer him coffee or wine.

Wow, you're kinda nice for an evil guy.

Boss: Tell me: just who in Equestria said I was evil? But I digress, you two, answer his question!

Ray: Uh, you wanna know what we think of his plans? Well, to be honest, he hasn't let us in on much-I'm loathe to give my opinion here since I value my life, though, so...sorry.

Jill: Pfft, hell with you, Ray. I personally think it's a huge waste of time and money. Why don't we just bust in there and murder that bitch ourselves and be done with it?!

Boss: Because that's nigh impossible with our current meager strength,nor is that our primary purpose Jillian, so cool it or I'll chuck you in the lake myself!

Jill: Fine, fine...as for Nightmare Night, we didn't do much beyond dismembering the pizza pony cuz he wanted a tip. A tip when he was nearly an hour late, can you believe that crap-hahahaha!

Ray: You know, I gotta agree with Jill on that one; that request was ridiculous and he just wouldn't leave until we payed him...soo...you could say that we payed him a little extra, heh-heh!

Boss: Yes, and made an absolute mess of the front lobby in the process. I swear, I need to teach you two the finer art of field-dressing a pony corpse without flinging entrails all over the wall-hangings-

Um, excuse me, sir? Can we please move on-this is rather disturbing to listen to.

Boss: Pfft, weak stomach, eh? Fine, next question!

Well, this is one that I got earlier, but nopony agreed to answer it. The sender mentioned Jill though. Do you know of someone named Twisted Visions?

Boss: Oh yes, I do. She's one of my most loyal deciples. Do you wish to speak with her?

No, no, that's ok...she sounds...fun.

Boss: Heh-heh, that she is. She'll do anything for me, and I do mean anything. *licks lips*

Gross...look, here's what she sent, ok? Anyway, I hope I am not too late but Volare, Twilight, and Trixie. What are your greatest fears hmm? Oh and Jillian... You have such a beautiful name, but that temper should be worked on. No telling what more trouble you could get into.

Jill: THAT BITCH!! *runs out while Ray retrieves her to stop her from burning the place down*

Boss: *facehoof* Those two, I swear...moronical indeed. Well, your friends were wise not to answer that particular question, for that's all she needs to get inside...and once inside, the havoc begins.

Inside? Inside where?

Boss: If you didn't answer her question, you needn't worry about that. Next question.

Oookay...clonezero says:
Mysterious Enemy Boss: Do you know of a certain article called the " Evil Overlord List"?

Boss: I'm afraid I don't, no...why, is Celestia on it?

Say what?

Boss: Apparently not...oh well-next!

Uh, ok...from Ballor_I: For the Boss: Have you written your Will?
Also: Why not just ask Celestia, who knows, she may be willing to help you.

Boss: Ha, that sounds almost threatening. I have nothing to offer the world, nor do I intend to die any time soon, therefore I will not be writing a WILL. As for asking Celestia for help with anything...I'd rather eat my own feces first. Let me tell you a little something: the next time she sees my face, it will be her looking up to me as I smile and laugh...not her.

Got a grudge against her?

Boss: That's truly none of your business. Next!

From: Super Big Mac: This question is for evil boss guy:
Do you have a white kitty cat that you pet while smiling evilly? Or do you smoke those long cigars? What are two cliche 'evil-character' things you do, and what is your greatest weakness? Mine is when I monologue. Or rambling on, or whatever. I start doing it when excited or nervous, or when I'm unsure as to what I should be doing. Answer any of my questions, or all of them, I don't care. Have a nice evil day!

Boss: What in the hell...no I don't have a cat; I prefer ravens to tell the truth. Matches my personality a bit better than some crotch-licking feline; smarter too. I neither pet them nor expect affection from them, only loyalty, as I expect it from my associates. No, I do not smoke; it's bad for my health, you fool. As for two "evil cliche's"...I don't know what you're talking about. Again, that implies that I'm evil...and besides, a true master of himself never reveals his weaknesses to anyone but himself! I'll at least trade politeness in kind though, so you have a nice day as well. Next!

This one is from DrakeDragon13: To "The Boss" What exactly did Goldwing do that "got him fired"?

Boss: Ah, that half-wit...suffice to say that I don't appreciate liars that attempt to cross me. You know, I don't think I've ever met a pegasus that wanted to die as much as he did. If only he knew what he was doing when he did it, the consequences that the failures of his actions would bring...oh well. I don't need noble fools among my ranks, and he didn't need his limbs, apparently. That's one of the more entertaining terminations I've had in quite some time, though-it took positively forever for his neck to finally dislocate itself from his shoulders...ooh-hoo-ooh, it was delicious!

You're sick, you know that?

Boss: Said the patient to the surgeon. Next!

Beyond the Horizon: Final question, for the author. Could you deliver this message to the Boss for me? I know who you are, I know what you are, but most importantly. . . I know where you are. Soon. . . hehehe eheheheh. . . soon. ~Signed, the Contradicted Spiral. And thats it. Dunno who it was, seemed like a nice chap.

Boss: I'm not even going to respond to that. However, I may seek this fool out to see if he'll make good on his threat or simply reveal his true self to be a coward right before he dies...I'm getting annoyed now, V-Pony. Hurry up and let's finish this.

Yeah...these two questions are kinda the same, but Chiman1293 and ChaosMarineBrony basically wanna know what it's like working with moronical associates.

Jill: Buck them and the horses they rode in on! I'll show them moronical!

Jeez, I did't even know you were back *rubs ringing ear*

Ray: You even know what that means?

Jill: No, but it sure sounded insulting!

Boss: The truth is often a bitter pill to swallow, dear Jillian. Only the strong can take it without a sugar-coating. And is that not what we're doing here: revealing the truth so long hidden?

Jill: Yeah, yeah, but still...if I find those two there won't be anything left but a pile of ashes and burnt bones!

Boss: Commendable disposal method; much neater than disembowelment to be sure. But back to the question: sometimes working with those of lower intelligence than yourself can be quite tedious...but when that's par for the course, you get used to it and accept the situation for what it is. One must sometimes simply smile and make lemonade, you could say. Next question-I'm actually enjoying these!

From Menelaus Redz:
Boss man: Evil will always triumph because good is dumb! Do you agree or disagree?

Boss: Before I answer that question, let me clarify something for you and for all those that continue to label me as something they quite obviously don't comprehend. Is it not often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder? It's all in the perspective. So too does this apply to what one considers good and evil...did you know that I've oft heard the term evil uttered of the seeing by the jealous and foolish blind? Would you consider a pony evil just because it has something another doesn't?

Well, no but I-

Boss: Then I warn you and your friends right now, and this once only: do not bandy the terms good and evil about so lightly. Do you consider a spider evil and so crush him beneath your foot, or does he consider you evil because you seek to crush him? The status quo could be considered good because those under it are blind to the existence of anything else...but I intend to shed light on the truth...and let them decide what is good, and what is evil. Only the wise will see...the foolish shall remain blind and will die in the dark with the rest. So to answer your friend's question: evil is in the eye of the beholder, so do not assume it will win just because one considers a "good" cause to be dumb, for the term "dumb" depends on perspective as well. I prefer to consider the winner of a contest to be wiser and more prepared than the loser...and nothing more.

Wow, that's really deep...

Boss: I'm glad you think so; there may be hope for you yet. Next question!

Applejack-fan writes: Oh, and I've got a message for "The Boss" if I may : whatever you're planning, that's never gonna happen. You know why? Cuz bad guys always end up losing.

Boss: *sigh* How many of your so-called friends have something similar to say? Who are they?

Um...MoonlitDawn says something about how your plan is going to fail, while-

Boss: Really? Does he give a good reason or is it nothing but threats?

Do I have to answer that?

Boss: If you don't want my hoof slipping and hitting the END CALL button, then yes.

Ok, you asked for it...he basically threatens to stick his foot up in...places...and make you run 9001 miles if you try to do anything to Volare.

Boss: .........Bwahahahahahaha!!! That's quite a good one; I haven't heard anything quite like that yet. What places is he talking about?

...John Brown Hindquarters...

Boss: John Brown-hahahaha-that's hilarious! Oh holy Nightmare Moon, this is too much-my chest is hurting I'm laughing so hard-HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Ahem *cough-cough* my...haven't laughed like that in quite some time...hoo, please forgive me, V-Pony, but I'm always torn between feeling pity and morbid amusement at the idiocy of some sentient creatures. I mean, it would be one thing for something like a rodent or mosquito to make idle threats like that, but for a sentient being to do so, without any way to carry it out...holy hoof, that's rich!

I doubt they'll be as amused-I think he was serious.

Boss: Then in that case, I'd seriously advise you to obtain some wiser friends if I were you...at the very least some spare ones if they're going to continue to try my patience like this. But you, V-Pony-haha-you I like for now...and trust me, you don't want that to change. As for what may or may not happen to Volare...just know that it's what I believe is for his own good, and we'll leave it at that.

But how could it be for his-

Boss: DAMMIT ALL!! I HAVE SPOKEN, AND IT'S QUITE APPARENT YOU HAVEN'T LISTENED TO ONE IOTA OF WHAT I'VE SAID, AND HAVE THEREFORE WASTED MY TIME, YOU DOG! ....Go and fetch somepony's stick in the dirt, keep your blissful ignorance for all I care...we're done here. Good day.
*click

Jeez...well, I think that could have gone better. Good thing everypony else was gone too; can't imagine how Volare would've handled something like that. I just hope he watches his back and stays careful.
*sigh*
Sorry that did't really end on much of a high note folks, but trust me, the next story arc should fix that right up! Expect the first chapter from The Author within the next week.

Oh, and enjoy the premiere of Season 3 in the meantime! I'm out!
(oh, also, Dashie stole Volare's jet) :P
