Somewhere in the USA. Probably older than you. And something about MLP:FIM makes me want to write stories. Unfortunately, being gainfully employed cuts into my writing time.

Somepony has a crush.
And that horror-stricken nightmare that seems to befall all those young girls who fall prey to their hormones and avoid using protection... yeesh. Talk about a nightmare. Guessing she sees these things happen all too often as well, I suppose.
A lot of scene breaks. It was hard to tell what was a dream and what was real for a bit there. I'll assume everything with Snips was part of the dream like how she seemed to have not so much as done anything with Orange-Maned Colt with scissors cutie mark. But does this mean she was or wasn't invited to tutor part time under a professional? I know barbers tend to start off pretty young, 14-16. Least around here they used to. My old friend is pretty much self-taught and makes his own business cutting hair, started off cutting hair for friends and family who still get free cuts.
I really wish you would have had some more about the clubhouse thing. Well, her branch of the CMC. Is Babs still there? Did she stop supporting the others? I assume she'd still be friends with Simoon, or would she feel they no longer have anything in common if they solely hung out because they were blank flanks and feel weird now that one has it over the other?
Thanks for writing this, it's the cutest one of the Babs I've read post cutie mark.
5900305 Yes, the only thing real was her story of getting her cutie mark.
I think the mentor showing up when the student is ready is also something that only happens in dreams, like Apple Bloom with the pest pony. Babs discovered her special talent, but only in general terms. She still needs practical experience, and to find her niche.
A nicely presented marking scenario, and a very interesting hint from Babs's subconscious. After all, using the same colt to fill available roles every time? Her brain may have just picked the most appropriate pony she could remember, or there could be something more...
And I can't blame Luna. That much adolescent angst would drive anyone up a wall.
Thank you for this.
That was amazing. Lovely idea for how Babs got her cutie mark, as well as using the dreams to what it could mean for Babs. It really does read like what you might see in an episode, which I guess was very much the intention here. It was a lovely message, and short trip into the mind of Babs.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Shame it hasn't got that many views with how the episode wasn't that long ago.
That really is a horrible nightmare...being married to SNIPS!
5905714 Couldn't agree more!
Geez, that's rough.
What accent does she have exactly?
I didn't think she had pins in such a short mane.
Cartoon logic.
Something's very wrong here.
At times? Maybe I like stubborn women...
Wasn't expecting that, but it's very true. And these are children's dreams. Think about adult dreams? How terrible they can be? How someone could enjoy something terrible? I'm surprised Luna's coherent at all. Is it any wonder she went mad?
5905714 What's wrong with Snips? Yes, he's an idiot, does he ever hurt anyone? I hear Silver Spoon likes Snails, why is Snips not allowed to be with someone?

It's left undefined. It's told from Babs's perspective, and Simoon is one of many foals from "somewhere else". But if you want an idea, her name is one of many spellings of an Arabic word for a dry, dust-laden desert wind.
Snips and Diamond Tiara. Her ideal stallion is one she is superior to in every way.
Really, the problem with Snips and Snails are they're undeveloped comic relief characters. You have to make assumptions about what he's like, and what he'll be like when older. If he's a hard worker and devoted family stallion, he may actually be a good match for Babs.
I've only looked at Snips and Snails in one story (Madmare Island), where they're older, and they actually get to do something right.
Very good story, but the end scene with Luna bothers me. It's unnecessary and the humor isn't really worth its inclusion. The tale would have been better on its own or with a scene that better concludes the narrative.
That said, it's really a nice story and gives some much-desired exposition on what was going on with Babs that we didn't get to see in the show.
