“Actually Twilight, I have more pressing matters to discuss than talk about books.” You stand up to stride around the library. “For you see, Twilight, Equestria is in terrible danger and only I can save it! The Time Orb has gone missing, the magical orb of time that sits at the centre of Canterlot! Princess Celestia has entrusted this dangerous task to me and me alone, so you see Twilight, my time is precious!” To demonstrate this, you flip over the nearest table, sending a pile of carefully stacked books over the floor.
“Oh!” Twilight’s mouth gaped open. “But I’m the princess’s star pupil, surely she would have asked me to help her!”
You shake your head at Twilight’s innocent naivety. “No Twilight, for the princess realised that this mission requires brains, charm and charisma, something only I, the Brony Hero, have.”
“I see…” Twilight sank onto her haunches looking downcast. “It’s just that I have this Time Sphere here, and I thought maybe…” From behind the sofa she pulls out a glowing ball of energy and placed it down with a sigh. “Oh well…”
“Time… what?” You stare at the object on the sofa that is shaking with unrestrained power. “Twilight, that is the Time Orb!” You pick it up carefully, marvelling in its beauty. “Where did you find it?”
Twilight shrugs. “Oh, it ripped itself through time and space and landed in the library the other day. But it’s not a Time Orb, it’s a Time Sphere!”
You hug the Time Sphere to your chest as if a small child. “A sphere is an orb, Twilight! This is it, my mission is complete!”
What will you do?
Return the Time Sphere to Celestia
Ignore the Time Sphere; go and have some fun by exploring Ponyville

and an idiot. Half the crap he's pulled I'd never have tried. Then again, I'd have also not gone to Tirek's castle and **** him in a *** match...
How convinient :D
Wait, what?
Oh great, not only a douche but an ass. Now I want to make my computer crash so I can do the Ctrl-Alt-E...Equestria will clearly need saving after this idiot is done.
Y'know, if this is supposed to be a big wish-fulfillment deal, it REALLY kills the mood that the guy representing you in this fantasy is a complete fucking tool.
If you want to write a silly story about some Loony-Toons asshole who saves Equestria, go right ahead. But if you want to make a "choose your own adventure" story, let US define the guy's character according to his actions. Give us Paragon and Renegade options, SOMETHING.
I want to just smack this motherfucker. I'd totally geek-out —internally— and appreciate whatever help Twilight could offer, not the least because she's my favorite pony, and because apparently I got into this situation through pure dumb-luck and otherwise have no idea what I'm fucking DOING, so having the brilliantly-minded, astoundingly powerful little unicorn at my side would be something of a comfort for everyone involved...
So much agreement with above commenters.
519677 Yeah, he should make this in more of an interactive fiction thing. The 'You choose the scare' Goosebumbs books were better, and they were not that good to begin with.
511277 try the seduction options, its pretty good for that

Just because this is a CYOA story, doesn't mean it's about wish-fulfillment; if anything, it's more of a tongue-in-cheek parody of wish-fulfillment self-inserts. The CYOA aspect simply highlights that fact by making you more aware of the obnoxiousness of the protagonist (ostensibly, you) and the ridiculousness of his actions.
is there an option anywhere for Rainbow Dash?
Where's the "Seduce the Time Sphere" option? dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Twilight_Sparkle_lolface.png
i cant breath!
Tough call...
Heh, I knew going to the library for info on the object would work.
It ruins my immersion when I act like a dochebag tool
WTF I would never tell twilight that instead I would ask twily 4 help not b a bucking dick
521021 I don't know about that. Sure I think the character should be more of a blank slate (after all, THIS is one of the only times you're supposed to do that), but this COYA actually fell like you're in more control of your options in a way that I'd thought would only be possible in a game like Wolf Among Us. It actually let's you backtrack. Some of these options could be fixed up a little, after all there doesn't seem to be too many sane options, but still this is pretty fun.

Yeah, eh? I want to flirt with everything that's not nailed to the ground. In fact, I want to flirt with everything nailed to the floor, too. Like a urinal and a toilet. In fact, urinal and toilet should be shipped together. ToiletxUrinal OTP.
I am a matchmaker.
*Looks through Craigslist for anyone with a tickling fetish and into mlp*
I'll find that special sombrony or pegasister someday...
