Wow, this story is really well written, I wonder who the editor is I'm super happy this is out, and I can't wait to work on this even more! :raritywink:

I shout, happy I enchanted my bedroom centuries ago, effectively making it sound proof. Shouting isn't new, nor is screaming, moaning, gasping, whimpering, or even crying. But this is the first time any of those have been in rage!

:twilightblush::twilightblush::twilightblush::twilightblush::twilightblush::twilightblush:

Oh princess!

I like it, keep going.

The cover picture alone..... compels me further to read this story!

SPOILER ALERT

I find it rather humorous, nopony realizes that I currently raise the sun two hours later than I used to.

:pinkiegasp::pinkiecrazy: Humorous indeed!

Taking another glance around the room, making myself certain that I'm in Luna's observatory, I have this strange sense that everything is just a head taller than it used to be.

That sudden realization....

As I enter my room, I see myself lying in my bed. “Wake up!”I shout, happy I enchanted my bedroom centuries ago, effectively making it sound proof. Shouting isn't new, nor is screaming, moaning, gasping, whimpering, or even crying. But this is the first time any of those have been in rage!

I had to read this several times. Then i realized that Celestia (obviously body-switched) was entering her own room. Funny how I overlooked the first sentence. I had originally thought this was from Luna's view. But then I re-read it after finishing this chapter. :facehoof::facehoof::facehoof:

Luna, you buckup, why did you have to say those magic words??

Well, it's in... I can (sorta) breath easy now. :ajsleepy:

If I have a... Um, lets call it a ‘bad dream’ shall we? I still have issues with the ‘N word’

:ajsmug:What, you mean Ninja?

Nightmare actually ^^

I want that art. DA?

4173544
If you click the picture it will take you to the source and yes it's da.

4173547 Mm. Sorry. I had no patience...so I explored...Mm...I plan to read this...but I'm sorry that I haven't so far, only to comment on the art...It may take a while to get to, though...

There are just some things an Alicorn could do that a Unicorn just... er... can't. Maybe, in a couple hundred years or so, Twilight would be ready to go public. But until then...

You know what you did...

Another 'thump' sounds through the room. If Tia face hooves again, then I will surely be unable to keep myself from self from mocking her with her own body.

The 'selfs' need to be fixed.

interesting so far, let's see Discord... This shall go towards the final grade! :pinkiecrazy:

Some paragraph spacing errors.
Discord is done pretty well. And you hinted a bit strongly that Tia and Luna are going to slowly trade mannerisms. I look forward to seeing the progress!:pinkiehappy:

i think you may be missing paragraphs. the extended spaces seem to have missing content that bridge things together.

luna looks good

Looking forward to reading more. Luna's archaic English, however, is...not good. Here are a couple of sites with guides to Elizabethan English pronouns.

Please sirs, may I have some more?

With that in mind, I dressed Luna in a multi coloured tutu, placed a very beautiful - in my opinion - clown’s wig on her head, and teleported her to one of the fanciest restaurants in Canterlot.

Yes. That would do nicely.

Harsh. :twilightoops:

4241763

No. Bad Baffle. Bad. :rainbowwild:

Oh Discord, you so crazy.

Discord doesn't swear any more then Q from star trek did, which is to say very very rarely. He's far too verbose for such behavior. Actually, try to have his speech be more complex and -for lack of a better word- sophisticated in general. He's a smart guy who holds himself above most everpony else in the world. He's above such brutish and honest exclamations of frustration. Try and write Discord's speaking patterns better next time. His actions seem right though.

4247083 I certainly agree, though I can't quite find where he's cursing.

and I feel just the slightest ache within the area of my body that some crude nobles have dubbed the money pit.

:pinkiehappy:: Oo, oo, is iiiiiiiiit... your pancreas? Or maybe your gallbladder? Oh, or is it your spleen? Or maybe -
:trollestia:: *shoves a banana in Pinkie's mouth*

4247683 :pinkiesick: Where were you hiding the banana before shoving it in pinkies mouth?

That was unexpected. But still quite enjoyable.:trixieshiftright:

4247123 Here

Well… damn, this is getting confusing.

and also the bit where he's thinking how magic doesn't have to explain shit. Maybe he's not SAYING it, but people generally think the same way they talk, and Discord doesn't talk like that. I suppose it could be said that since he's not saying it out loud and that the text isn't indented or otherwise marked to indicate a direct translation of his thoughts that it may just be the writer paraphrasing, but the way it's written implies that it's not paraphrased.

On a side note, this Celestia is almost certainly the "Molestia" version. If it weren't so obvious, I'd be pointing out all the problems with her being so out of character/ooc. Since she's a toned down Molestia though, she's more or less in character.

The 'money pit' :trollestia:

4249547 I understand how you feel about the part where he doesn't have to explain anything, but the 'damn' being used here is more of an exclamation than anything else. Were the show not directed at little kid, I would not be surprised if many of the characters used 'damn' in that same manner.

Also, I'm not sure if you have realized, this story is written by three different authors. The styles of each chapter will differ between who is writing what. Foals Errand writes Luna, I write Tia, and Jorofrarie writes Discord. It's an odd way of going about things, but for us it's more the journey and the experience of writing this. There will be times where we make blunders, and it is going to be unquestionably bizarre for all involved. Joro certainly keeps us on our toes.

Here comes the sun~
do do do do~

Discord
*insert clever meme here*

cute. funny. I like it.:twilightsmile:

:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

Discord got them gooooood!!!!!!


The next chapter is gonna be insteresting!

Neighpril foal's

....just....no.....I get that you may be trying to be clever or something, and I know you aren't the first (and certainly won't be the last) to try your hand at ponify-ing holiday names, but out of all of them the April fools names have always grated on me the most. why?

1: Majority will change April Fools to April Foals. I'm not sure if any of you have noticed, but holidays are often named after what is being celebrated, as seen with April FOOLS celebrating the Trixters and pranksters of past, present, and future. So using that logic, April FOALS would then be centered around children, and there for NOT primarily about pranks. (this also applies to people who change all uses of Fool to Foal. you are no longer calling them deficient in intelligence, but rather childish)

2: that neighpril pun......uuuuuuggghhhh:pinkiesick:. I've seen ALOT of bad puns, but that one ranks pretty high up there. Have an imaginary internet muffin for your achievement

I know its not that big of a deal and stuff, but it has always bothered me. So, sorry for ranting on a semi-relevent topic. I'ma read your story now :twilightsheepish:

I don't think Luna is using thee right. I could be wrong but you should probably check it.

Oh gosh, poor Luna... or I guess it would be poor Luna's body... Dang this is confusing.
I kind of want Luna to find out, just to see her reaction to What Tia did in her body. That would probably provide some comedy.

4343573

I would love to see a scene where some villain rants at the Cutie Mark Crusaders, "You FOALS!"

And they look at each other, and then at the villain, and then go, "Uh... yeah? We're foals, what's your point?"

Or some villain does the same to Diamond Tiara, who responds angrily, "I am not a foal! I have my cutie mark and everything! I am a filly, you idiot, and if you keep calling me a foal my daddy will make your life really unpleasant!" (Aka, a thirteen year old yelling that she is not a kid, she is a young lady. :-))

/ban Discord

Discord has been banned. Reason; griefing, trolling, unlawfully switching the bodies/brains of others, clearly not thinking the whole plan through, broke the rules

Lots of clever jokes here. A good start. (Lots of grammatical mistakes, too, though. And 'thee' and 'thou' aren't interchangeable.)

i really like this story is there going to be another chapter:raritywink:

Didn't know it was collab, cannot wait for another update!
