Chapters (28)
Off to a good start I see!
Short, sweet, and simple.
I look forward to more in the future!
6554946 I've given up my need to fill certain word counts. Although, I do expect this to be the shortest for this story.
Bruiser at least wait for an answer before asking the next question.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Can't wait to see what happens now.
Yay more Genuine.
Well the rest of the family isn't going to be happy. Fried Genuine anyone?
Oh shit, that... sad :(
Poor Div. Also love this part:
It made my morning.
6582323 Second Story is a lot of fun to write. He's equal parts stuffy and sassy with a good heart underneath it all.
Well this is escalating. Also hurrah for eavesdropping.
Scorpions? Any influence from Fallout perchance?
A deer? I am intrigued
6617959 Never played the games, more's the pity. I suppose I was more influenced by the scorpions that used to kick my butt in Runescape.
6618018 He's no run of the mill deer, either. He's a desert dwelling deer. I suppose you could say he's very deer to me.
Wonder what's gonna happen.
6697769 When a mare's involved? Anypony's guess.
*confused*
6702402 what'd I do? Or not do?
6703892
I don't remember Genuine cutie mark story x)
6704461 Ah, no worries! I've cut away before telling that story twice now. We'll get to see it next chapter.
Things are heating up.
I am still confuzzled. (and I don't like Genuine accent) :)
Dear lord, how did his parents manage?
6753040 It's a more recent development. His snoring got worse after the accident at the gorge. It helps that his parents house is built into a mountain, the walls by necessity are thicker than they are in the new place
Hey. Now I want more of this too :) For some reason I prefer this kind of Slice of chapter than 'let go on adventure in Appleloosa'
Thanks.
6778527 You're welcome!
I see that the beginning scene correspond with the cover.
6825676 eeyup!
Also in a fever dream in the chapter 'Horse With No Name.'
A new chapter, Oh yeah!
Jelly... is an idiot.
Damn that a crazy dark turn of event
6912678 Confirmed. He's young, inexperienced and has a knack for tunnel-vision. Here's hoping Paisley can get his head straight.
6913821 Things are getting serious again.
Sweet Luna No! Not Life! He must live up to his name.
6914449 To quote the Aladdin sequel: "You'd be surprised what you can live through."
Heh.... EMP's...
Electro- Magnetic Ponies please!
Anyways, good chapter! You could name one of the EMPs Jaded Persona. Or something. There's always one guy like that on every call...
6917643 Ha!
I thought of the same thing when I wrote EMPs originally! I might steal that name. 
Not at all! It's a little hard to steal a suggestion, and I have absolutely no attachment to that name. I'm not even sure of a gender or race. By all means, take that er... persona.
You are a mean guy with your poor ponies! They can't never rest
Finally we get to see them being lovely dovey again.
Still...who is trying to do harm against Life?
Edit:
I believe Bruiser was suppose to be burrowed in Life's legs.
Will thing will settle for poor Life. After being nearly killed, now he get to spend his bits on racy games! Is the next step Bru announcing that he get his secret marefriend pregnant?
6949705
No spoilers.
So much cuteness between Life and Div. Argh! It's too much. (I mean that in a good way).
Oh dear. An interest in rocks. And Runic. Oh dear.
The googles are taking over!
6992811 ha! Autocorrect strikes again.
I hope that accident don't back fire.
I knew it!
First thing I thought of when I read the chapter title was this.
This story has a character named Fast Lane in it, right?
7015213
7015305 Wow, there's a movie I haven't seen in a while.
7015769 Sorry, the title of this story is a reference to a song, not any character named Fast Lane.

I still watch it on video like a cave man.
