My Little Pony: Friendship is Overpowered (Season 2)

S02E12 Family Appreciation Day

"Well, thank you, Mr. Filthy—" Cheerilee winced at the look he gave her. "I mean, Mr. Rich. What a wonderful day of sharing! And thank you for being a part of Family Appreciation Day! Now, uh, let's see who will be bringing in a family member for next Monday's Family Appreciation Day." She scanned her paper. "Um... Oh! Apple Bloom!"

"But Miss Cheerilee. Monday is zap apple harvest day, and Applejack and Big McIntosh will be too busy to come and speak."

"Oh... well, what about your par—" Cheerilee stopped herself just before mentioning Apple Bloom's parents. Touchy subject, better avoid that. "Never mind. We'll just shuffle the schedule around a little..." She made a few marks on her paper. "There. Next week, Snips can be the one to bring his family in, and Apple Bloom will be the week after that."

Didn’t expect that one. I would have thought Apple Bloom would have known how great Granny is and never wanted to bring anypony else then her. Or maybe Applejack being so quick at harvesting that she could come to school and harvest the zap apples on the same day.
But your idea is even better.

[BlueYoshi]

Hmm, wise decision, Cheerilee....

I like this chapter.

[silvadel]

That is what Cheerilee probably should have done in the first place.

[Neko Majin C]

Wow. I did not expect that. Even Cheerilee is overpowered. I was hoping to see how overpowered Granny Smith was.

Too bad we do not get to see much of the real hero of the episode. Filthy Rich.

KBO.

[Awesomo3000]

Huh. I though Apple Bloom would've asked Granny if she was cool and Granny would reply "Darn tootin', ah am! Ah'm the reason Ponyville exists!" Then Apple Bloom would be like " " then "".

Yeah... the casual dismissal of the mane 6 as unimportant is one of the worst travesties of the whole show!

5337905
I think those ponies deserved a good troll.

5337906
Exactly! ^.^
Heh, she may not have married a prince at the gala, but she now has a princess as one of her best friends.

5338643
Thanks! ^.^

5340057
It's the only way to fly.

5341568
Dragons don't get overpowered.
Because ponies are better.
The end.

5341617
+20 luck. ^.^

5341683
A very relevant book.

5341689
I deny everything!

5341718
Spike should know better than to risk a Twilight lecture.

5341790
5341864
Heh, yeah. The way I changed this one is one of my favorites.

5342276
I've actually never read or watched any of them.

5342361
Hm... nah.
Spike gets no advantages.
Because nobody likes Spike.

5346140
A thanks from me as well! ^.^

5346164
5346264

5346230
Not even a little bit.

5346261
By far. Definitely.

5346290
Silly Applejack.
Background ponies don't need names.

5346353
Wow... that much?

5346424
And that's the moral of this story.

5346547
Going from memory... 55?

5346809
Brevity is the soul of wit.

5347027
Yeah... but... how do you write that?

5347133
I'll try. ^.^

5347267
5347305
Yeah... this was one of my least favorites. Mostly because the lion's share of the conflict was within the play, and I didn't want to make the play's characters overpowered.

5348044
5348146
5348304
^.^ Glad I can still come up with some good solutions.

5348374
Overpowered Granny Smith might be fun... but I like this way.

5348375
Eh, you win some, you lose some.

[ocalhoun]

5348480
True, that would have worked, too.

[Greenhat]

5348490 A God-Princess, a former supermodel, a record-breaking athlete, the orchestrator of a Princess' wedding, and a... farmer (sorry, AJ, you get no fame), many-time national heroes all, cannot get a cab.
Wait, did Luna have this problem in the early days post-NMM? Someone needs to write a fic about Luna's inability to get a cab.

[ocalhoun]

5348687
Ha! Somebody should.
And some lovely retail salespony saying "... and you are...?"
"WE ARE THE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT"

[Greenhat]

5348906 "Is there someone behind you? I can't see past your mane..."
"OUR MANE IS A GLORIOUS DEPICTION OF OUR STARS! WE POSSESS SO MUCH POWER THAT IT HAS SATURATED OUR VERY HAIR! IS IT NOT BEAUTIFUL, PEASANT?"
By then she'd probably have gone white-eyed, the salespony would be cowering...
"...would you like to try these sunglasses?"
"SUNGLASSES? THIS IS AN INSULT TO OUR NAME! HOW DARE YE, INSOLENT WRETCH?"

[ocalhoun]

5349053
...
And that's why Nightmare Moon happened again less than 24 hours after the first episode.
Luckily, Celly was able to talk her out of it that time.

[Greenhat]

5349105 And that's why every pony in Canterlot was given a flier explaining who Luna is, what she hates, what will offend her, and how many Royal Guardsponies to summon if her coat starts turning black. (Answer: all of them.)

[ocalhoun]

5350297
Only just.
Only just.

[StevieBond]

I'll just assume that Diamond Tiara gets forced to dress up in a bunny outfit anyway.

[Switch Swap]

But I liked the story of Ponyville’s origin.
