This story is a sequel to Stallions of Harmony - Longest Night
"What happened back there?"
"Nothing, and if you ever ask me that again, consider yourself FIRED forever. Understand?"
That was what he said the day of the Summer Sun Celebration inspection, but a pony can't help wondering. Shining Armor has followed that particular order to the best of his ability since then, but some other ponies aren't so inclined to let the past lie.
Soarin has the right idea in this situation: Recall a story idea which is in no way one of your fantasies (let alone something you've lived through, no siree bob), replacing the characters and setting for the couple that's currently the talk of the Corner .
Twas a fine scene.
....
.......
I Iike the way Soarin thinks.
Shining's gonna be in trouble.
FINALLY!!! I was expecting a Stallionverse story that actually had the stallions and it is here!
Well.
If the Stallionverse operates on 'Rule of Funny' at all, then while Shining Armor gets to Canterlot within a couple of hours via train from Ponyville to talk to Blueblood (and fails), then Blueblood's trip from Canterlot to Ponyville should be the length of the Ponyville - Canterlot run in MMMystery on the Friendship Express, where it inexplicably takes so long it goes from day to night and then back to day again before they arrive in Canterlot. If Blueblood has to wait a whole entire night to get home, then that's just enough time that he'll walk out into a Ponyville where rumours have had enough time to fester about him and Rarity.
I have been staring at these words for 5 minutes now. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. This is gold. I don't know why.
So glad to see the old gang back together again! My one complaint about this story is that its currently set so it can't be upvoted, which is infuriating!
I always wondered what happened between the two whiny white ponies, it will be good to get answers. I don't know if you've read the new Friends Forever Comic #26, it's fantastic, about Blueblood, and it makes me think of him as something of a male Rarity, so that's definitely peaked my interest for a story like this.
One other thing: I doubt it will happen in this story, but if Rarity really was rude to Blueblood, I hope Trixie finds out someday, comes back to Ponyville, and they have a huge catfight. She must defend her Prince!

Actually, the greyed-out bar just means the up/down vote ratio isn't visible, but the author of that story can see it just fine. It stays that way until there's been 10 votes in total in the hope that people will give fresh stories that have three or four downvotes a chance anyway. As I type this, it's at nine, so thumb it up or down to see what I mean!
I did see the comic, and that particular BB strikes me as a cross between Rarity and Pinkie.
7045722 That nine has me in there already, I'm afraid. I loved BB's little guide in the comic, reminded me of John Daley's "How to Win Friends and Influence People."
Finally an other story of the Stallionvers that talk about the Stallion-six again. I hope shiny wont get impale by BB or be fired, or be impale then be fired.
7044290 Yeah. But, in all fairness, his little sister isn't any brighter when it comes to stallions.
Hey there. Not much I can say other than thanks very much for getting the first chapter of this new story up. I really appreciate you going to the effort. The exchanges, emotional content, humor and future chapter set-up are all well done in all the right places. This story already looks like it's going to be VERY entertaining and I will definitely be looking forward to more of this as soon as time and inspiration will allow.
Ugh, I look away for a few days and you already launch a sequel to MY universe? HOW DARE YOU!
....just kidding, this was planned for a long, long time. Nice to see people enjoy it
Great chapter again. This story seem to be going in the way of everypony in Ponyville start to speculate on what happen putting their own brand of crazy of what happen depending on the characters. So far I think Shiny, being of an law enforcement background is projecting his gilt about giving BB a mind untiring drug that affected his behavior in public with out his charges consent. For the The Doctor twist on things I am sure he will find a way to fit a Darlek in the story somewhere or that some other mare think that he is too much endowed for a stallion for any one mare to take on her own and an argument ensued about it. I think that the truth of what happen is actually far more benein that everypony think.
Well damn, Sherlock.
I think Daisy nailed it. It was probably Kevin (that's the name of the changling that attended Cranky's wedding, right?) Ruining the romance. Curse you Kevin!
Hey there. Thanks very much for getting the next chapter up. Once again, very good job on the exchanges, emotional content, humor and future chapter set-up in all the right places. I would suggest asking Rarity herself, except I already know she would probably either give an answer along the lines of "A lady never talks about stuff like that. What happened in there is nobody's business but mine and his." or give a greatly exaggerated account that makes Blueblood look like a would-be rapist. At any rate, I will definitely be looking forward to more of this as soon as time and inspiration will allow.
This would be about a good time for the Cutie Mark Crusaders to get involved with the Foal Free Press, start up the alias of Gabby Gums and for Sweetie Belle to steal her sister's diary.
Sixteen letters? Miscommunication is 16 letters.
Why am I somehow not surprised.
*sarcastic laugh*
As Hades once said: If only, if only. I kid, I kid.
Much like Celestia's is an incredibly light shade of pink.
Tsunderedash.

Hey! At least Rainbow Dash can be right about Shining Armor being at fault for the rumors!
She can hate him legit!
She still won't, though.
Things are going to get worts if Rarity is gating involved in this. Can't wait to see how thing are going to go down.
Hey there. Thanks very much for getting the next chapter up. I really appreciate you going to the effort. As usual, wonderful job on the exchanges, humor, emotional content and future chapter set-up in all the right places. I also love how Blueblood took the accidental leak MUCH better than Rarity did (at least for the time being). I will definitely be looking forward to more of this as soon as time and inspiration will allow.
Well now, this is starting to get interesting. The stories the others came up with and Shiny's baseless fear were amusing, but they really didn't have all that much impact because we knew there was nothing of substance there. Rarity on the other hand is going to be blowing up big time and out for blood which should be all kinds of fun.
Oh boy, angry marshmallow horse on the warpath!
No kidding, that clearly counts as talking in front of his back.
I like Daisy's theory.
Looks like the stallions managed to resolve their problems between them in record time. I'm sure there's a gender joke in there somewhere about a few minutes for males versus half an hour for females. Too bad nopony thought to bring it up to Rarity before she heard about it from somepony else.
Rainbow Dash, you and Shiny just need to f already
That thought train derailed, somehow found a new track, and rode it pretty far before they realized.
great chapter. Hope Rarity with turn things into a full blown town wide romance drama.
Nice to hear Rarity is taking this more seriously, I wonder if Sweetie Bell will get involved? Ponies might ask her about it, or she and her friends may start trying to solve the mystery on their own.
Why would Rarity scoff at this? She would love to be described as a "hot, fancy Canterlot type."
I was starting to get worried this wouldn't become ridiculously dramatic and filled with UST, thank goodness! Dangit Eyeswirl, can you write one stallions of Harmony story that doesn't make me want to see Blueblood shipped with someone?

Rarity took offense after hearing 'normal ponies,' implying that she (and Blueblood, though she's less bothered about him) is 'abnormal.' It seemed like something she would huff at.
7110246 I would think Rarity, doesn't see herself as "normal;" she's a cut above the rest. It all depends on the tone of the speaker saying normal, I suppose. It could indicate "not-weird" or it could indicate "boring and mundane." I could see how Rarity, currently worried that Canterlot will perceive her as some deviant dominatrix, would be focused on the former.
Half expected him to apologize again.
Heh.
Good point.
Now what?
You're probably hitting the nail on the head.
I want that.
You know, I kinda want to see Trixie wander back into town just to watch the chaos as she declare war on Rarity on top of this mess.
Cloud kicker is a perv per normal
That ... is some chocolate!
Hey there. Thanks very much for getting the next chapter up. I really appreciate you going to the effort. Once again, excellent job on the exchanges, humor, emotional content and future chapter set-up in all the right places. Oddly enough, I think Raindrops's answer might not be - well, right - but it's closer to the truth than most of the rest of Ponyville. At any rate, I will definitely be looking forward to more of this as soon as time and inspiration will allow.
That's it, everyone in Ponyville is doomed, but most especially the stallion six.
So what they need to do is generate an artificial scandal, preferably one that doesn't involve either Blueblood or Rarity so that it doesn't link back to the current scandal. I nominate Thunderlane and Lightning Dust.
Oh Pinkie, I'm pretty sure there have long since been hurt feelings associated with this issue.
You know, "have you been eating rocks" is actually a pretty valid question to ask a member of the pie family.
I both approve of this plan and want to be far away from Ponyville when it goes down.
I also rather like the sound of that Industrial Chocolate ice cream.
I like this. It's silly, it's Pinkie Pie, and it makes sense.
This. It's just so entertainingly silly and Pinkie Pie.
I like thy logic child.
Ooh! Please tell me this is going to be a Silent Film parody!
Oh this is amazing!
This is glorious!
Best filly.
Good point.
He's TERRIFIED of her!
It's good to see both Rarity and Blueblood are united in context-deficient judgement of each other.
great
Not much I can say other than, once again, great job on the exchanges, emotional content, humor and future chapter set-up in all the right places. I'll definitely be looking forward to more of this as soon as time and inspiration will allow.
Sweetie Bell's old timey silent movie version is the best one so far!
He'll come around someday, Trix, just you wait!
I'm certain if Cloud Kicker's fantasy had continued on for another paragraph that the rating of this fic would have had to be bumped up.
All these outlandish stories by each pony and out-of-context interpretations makes me wonder what we'll see for Pinkie when it's her turn.
If her imagination in MMMystery on the Friendship Express is any indicator, this should be good
Again, VERY good job on the exchanges, humor, emotional content and future chapter set-up in all the right places. And, yeah, the rumors and theories ARE rather absurd - even absurd enough to make PINKIE look semi-sane. :-D At any rate, I will definitely be looking forward to more of this as soon as time and inspiration will allow.
