Know your Mare

EXTRA: The boys are...

"Hey, Cap'n?"

"Pips, something amiss?"

"Kinda... Don't ya' think we shoul' 'ead back ta' base?"

"Gawwww, go back? What fun is there in going back to stingy old Chrysalis?"

"Glad ya' asked. I made a lil' list."

"Organization!?"

"Don't fret, I didn't number 'em or put 'em in order. Didn't even put 'em on a paper, jus' a napkin I lifted off a Pegi-Queen table."

"That's my Pip."

"Right-O. First point I got 'ere: still gotta get my work experience."

"Hmm... Point for you to go back..."

"''Nother point: don't go back, don't get paid."

"A good point... But you're not selling me well enough..."

"Thought ya' might say that, so I kept back me ball busta': if ya' don't go back, I'll give ya' The Look."

"...So how far away is the studio?"

"That's the spirit, Cap'n! Back to the show!"

"Yeah, yeah..."

"Don't be sad, I got a surprise for ya' when we get back."

"Oh boy, another surprise..."

"You're gonna love this one. It'll be absolute crackers!"

"...We really need to talk about your vocabulary Pips..."

To those of you that care, I'm working on a rather big story in relative connection to the story of this story... It's going to be the tops.

[Twilicorn]

Crackers? Why not Riceicles?

[overlord-flinx]

1074889 Yeah, I could tell you what I think of Fluttershy, but by my rule of not letting my feelings for characters get mixed into anything as a hint to how I treat them, I won't...

[Starscape]

Crackers!

[Hecatia]

CRACKERS
CRACKERS EVERYWHERE

[RainbowlogiC]

I thought Discord said "Thats my pimp"

All in due time, RainbowlogiC...

[Shadowed Rainbow]

Lol, why do I find the friendship between Discord and Pip so adorable?

[infinite scratch]

1074839

I love those guys friendship

The Look? Is Pips second job have something to do with Fluttershy? Is he being trained to do the Stare? .....

[Kasena]

1075741 Or maybe by Apple Bloom to do the puppy dog face/pout

[SergeantShenanigans]

1075701
That was my initial inclination, seeing how almost every chapter there is at least one person threatening Flinx to avoid Fluttershy.

[darkironpony]

Get ready Queeny cuz the boys are coming back!

Sadly my nature is a lot like hers; I can't bring myself to hurt another person unless it's all in good fun. I try to be nice, but my language slips every now and then. It's a bane to me.

That, and he's REALLY zealous about keeping ponies away from coffee...

SHE BROKE OUT OF HER CLOSET, GET HER!

[KillerSteel]

A surprise? It's not gonna be another Discord statue from the ceiling, is it?

Could be. Seems Cap'n is teaching all the wrong lessons to Pip.

For all he cares, they're facts of life to cherish.

A sad fact indeed.

Sure, chaos is fun, but in controlled bursts.

"Controlled bursts of CHAOS? That's an oxymoron!"

Stop hiding in the corner.

"No. If I do, Pip'll find me, so I'm hiding out here till the next episode..."

Is 'The Look' really that bad?

"You know the Pegasus' 'Stare', right?"

Yeah.

"Colt's version of that."

...Never thought the kid had it in him.

"Neither did I until he used it."

Left speechless ... with an induced facehoof. I'll take that as a compliment.
Though, I should probably clarify the cannon was aimed at Chrysalis and not at you. I love what your doing with this series; especially bringing the filly version of the characters onto the show and explaining how they got their future quirks/characteristics. Not to mention the comedy is gold. Keep you the great work!

I am curious as to how Sweetie Bell's lawsuit is coming along....

Though, I still don't think that that is the real Vinyl. I mean, how can she go so long without needing to make out with Octavia. It just boggles the mind.

Hummmm... If that is the case he is better to get his training from Cat in Boots in Shrek; he's the master.

I hear yeah. I cherish being silly (what is the point of being an adult if you can't be childish sometimes), but I wither and am guilt-ridden if I ever accidentally cross a line; Ive been know to get carried away sometimes.

My Celestia! That Sweetie Bell is a fast one. All I saw was a blur. I was always under the imprssion that she was the least problematic of the CMC. Sure, she has a pair of lungs that can match Beauty Brass in power ( I'm still trying to recover my hearing from her last gospel rendition of "Sleep Now, Quiet Now." I'm not sure what is more dangerous in her hand, coffee or a microphone), but she does seem to be the most rational of the group. Though she is accident prone.

The way I see it, Flinx is more of a reporter of events; a messenger. I'm not one to shoot messengers of bad news. I'm sure Chrysalis would have faced the brunt of the fury for making Fluttershy cry.

Erm...Twilight, did she teleport?

No...she...she didn't...
Hoooooolyyyyy Celestia that was fast...
That's the fastest exit I've ever seen a filly make!
And usually I'm the first one out of a room if something happens!

...What's she smoking? I want some.

Me or Belle?

Belle. What you're smoking may screw my head up in more ways than Discord can count.

"And I can count quite a few ways."

Are you seriously still hiding in the corner?

"I told you before, didn't I?"

Yeah, yeah...just don't go on my computer.

Seriously, don't. Steel'll bite your head off if you do.

"Pff, bite my head off? As if he could."

Just don't touch the computer. Last time someone other than me touched it, they infected it with five different viruses and downloaded three hundred gigs of porn.

*Steel leers at Rainbow.*

Hey, I didn't know the Internet was such a dangerous place!

Now you do. Luckily, I've taken precautions against such a thing. Got some help from locals, should stop any interloper now.

[Caneighdian Jake]

1077656
... Ummmm .... I-I think I might know how she got out so quickly ... Though, you all are not going to like it.
...
...
W-who left this half finished cup of coffee in the closet. Okay, who is so forgetful to leave something so dangerous unattended?!!!

I think I'm going to invest in some hearing protection ASAP. Hum, Octavia should have some spares laying around her house knowing how Vinyl likes her music.

[KillerSteel]

1077769 ...

*Steel stares at you.*

Wasn't me.
Not me.
Nnnnope.
I'm afraid I'm not to blame...
Not me!
Why would I leave it there?
Um...n-not me...

*Everyone turns their eyes to Discord, hiding in the corner.*

"Oh come on, how am I to blame?"

Do I have to explain it?

"That's discrimination against spirits!"

That's what you claim after the crimes you've committed? Pfff.

"Hey! I thought she was thirsty, and it would be funny to give it to her."

Discord, you...don't really realize what you've done, do you?

"Of course I do; I gave a needy filly a well-deserved drink, and it just happened to be coffee."

*Steel and the group blink several times in perfect unison, then all proceed to speak in perfect unison.*

*steel* YOU'RE INSANE!

That is tear-inducing.
I have no idea why it's so effective through a computer screen.
...but it is.

[William of Orange]

Actually I did have that in mind but as you must know, concept and actual possibility of said concept are two completely different things. While the concept is rather simple I do agree that it cannot be achieved, yet. You know what that means...

[overlord-flinx]

1077566 Nothing leaves me speechless, just... Annoyed beyond words...

[Caneighdian Jake]

1079707
Opps, sorry. I'll be quiet now.

[overlord-flinx]

1079815 It's not your fault. Just the character...

[Caneighdian Jake]

1079878
I take it your refering to the character of Fluttershy? Do you get a lot of flack directed at you about using her in your story?

My Celestia! The CMC know calculus, chemistry, AND quantum mechanics. The whole of the multiverse is no longer safe!

Huh, that scientific explaination seems plausible at a first glance. Is it true? I tried googling up Gideon Effect, but I did not find anything. You have definitely piqued the interest of my inner scientist/engineer regarding the plausibility of a real bass cannon. Nnnnnoooooooooooooo .... its still summer and I am tempted to break open some of my textbooks. I am an incorrigible egghead.

[overlord-flinx]

1080080 Very much. As my policy, I don't let my personal feelings effect how I treat characters in my story. If I did, people would accuse me of picking favorites. Even so, there are some characters I hate...

[SuperPinkBrony12]

1077566 The name is Puss in Boots!

1077782 Discord you bleeding idiot you don't give Sweetie Belle coffee.

[the-pieman]

And what's wrong with being British? I'll have you dumped in the sod-barrel for that!

[Serefin]

That awkward moment when the comments are more interesting than the actual chapter...

[Rosebud_teh_Pegasus]

The look!
Dun dun dun nnnnn

[MidnightFMare]

3071064 yep, those moments are funny when you notice that, like came for the clop, stayed for plot and pony plots

[Briarpelt]

What, Discord doesn't like crackers?
