Dropping in for a short visit, Rarity finds Twilight reading over an old scroll.
She shouldn't have asked what Twilight was reading.

She really, really shouldn't...


And a decent way to purge a plot bunny...

Oblivious Innuendo Twilight is best Twilight.

It's time to dududu DUDUDUDU...DUEL!!!

Why did it have to finish there?! :raritydespair:

4531429

Uhhh.. because it would likely have devolved into clop at that point, and I don't write clop. :trixieshiftright:

GOLD!!!!

Poor, innocent Twilight....

EDIT:
Or is it poor Rarity...??

4531439
Why thank you. Took a lot of work to get just the right level of double entendre.

4531441
You did it very well!

Not crude or crass at all, just a touch of innocence and class

4531432

Oh please oh please oh please oh please! :raritystarry::raritystarry::raritystarry::raritystarry:

The lols here, there are so many!:rainbowlaugh:

Nice way to avoid a clop
I liked the story, definitely a comedic type. Twilight not knowing anything about...well...the stuff and the things...just like her! And here's Rarity...supposedly knowing everything about...the stuff and the things.
The concept is nice, the story is nice, the ending is nice, overall the story is just great!

A rate up for you my dear fellow.

My only regret is in not being able to make it longer. Need to work some more on my verbosity.

4531479 For some stories, a long chapter would be nice, but I always like an easy read. You know, not just about 300 words, but 1000 or so, enough to make the point without long boring details. That's something you would use in a comical story as such. Most of the time.

Please don't die, The smell is hell to get out of my keyboard... :pinkiecrazy:

Alas, poor Rarity. So flustered is she that she could not hope to last more than three seconds in such a duel!

Also, I love when I can make a comment where my avatar is relevant.

Rarity you have a horn

How did you misunderstand literally all of this

...Unless you're really desperate to get laid

4531479

My only regret is in not being able to make it longer.

I understand a lot of unicorns have that complaint... :ajsmug:

An amusing drabble - well done. :pinkiesmile:

Sure was nice of Rarity to let Twilight practice. :raritywink:

Highly Amusing :twilightblush::raritywink:

Methinks the Marshmelodramatic doth protest too much. I have to wonder if Twilight is misunderstanding what the word "duel" means in that old parchment. :twilightblush: :twilightblush:

4532337 Thank you so much for coming up with that nickname. Can I please just replace 'Rarity' with that? It's just too good!:rainbowlaugh:

Insert Yugioh reference here

I think it's closer to dirty minded Rarity than innocent Twilight. She does say 'Dueling' multiple times.

Mind outta the gutter, Rares.

Twilight has to read this scroll around her other friends now.

Now I'm just waiting for Rainbow to read it and be unable to finish due to laughing herself sick.

And I would fully support a copy of the scroll transdimensionally winding up in front of Winningverse!CloudKicker.

4536190

Winningverse!CloudKicker

Not familiar with the reference... Linky please? :pinkiehappy:

Not as entertaining as I thought it would be.:applejackunsure:

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope my other stories (or any future ones) do not leave you as un-Fayzed as this one did.

This didn't really work for me. The execution was sloppy, and the explicit use of the word "duelling" repeatedly completely obliterated the innuendo. The only actual joke here is that Rarity has a dirty mind, and it pretty much falls flat on that note.

Don't worry Twilight, these two duel all the time, even with the multiple millennia age gap.

Rarity can't hope to duel the master of dueling, Twilight Sparkle! With her horn Twilight Sparkle can duel 3 other opponents at once! Oh god the perverted minds are real right now. :rainbowlaugh:

A horny situation.:trollestia:

yeah,this was far more fun than it has a right to be. have a fav will read again.

I'm afraid I have to agree with 4536680. By explicitly using the word "dueling" in the text Twilight was reading out loud, you gave the joke away far too early, and instead of it being "Twilight is too naive to realize that what she's reading is a euphemism for something naughty" -- which would be entirely in character for Twilight, and thus a rich source of potential humour -- it swiftly turns into "Twilight really is reading something entirely innocent and normal, and Rarity just has a filthy mind", which weakens the humourous impact.

Nice idea, but execution was a bit off, sorry to say. Don't give the punchline away so early in the game next time. :raritywink:

4536017 either that or it was the scroll's author being a troll

Not sure if the scroll's author is a massive troll or if Rarity just has a dirty mind... And I'm not sure which possibility is funnier :rainbowlaugh:

4543808 Out of curiosity, what word would you have used instead of 'dueling' to avoid dropping the joke too soon?

4749716

It's not so much a matter of using a different word in place of "dueling", so much as re-wording the things Twilight was reading so that any overt mention of dueling was avoided, and making the descriptions vague enough that they're left open to interpretation.

4751746 Basically, more subtlety. Got it.

Well, it was still funny.

So I found this buried at the bottom of my Read Later list......:duck:
Good job, you deserve a like.

The story picture is broken. Please fix it. What is the picture, anyway?
