Ancillary Alliteration: Adventure Away
The next few years were rather uneventful for the three fillies. Their time in school went well, even if the teachers they had after Miss Cheer weren't nearly as fun. Their academics never suffered, though they didn't excel either...mostly because the amplified pendants caused anything they did academically to be perceived as 'normal' for them, meaning that nothing could be perceived as excelling. They worked around this by picking up their lessons with Uncle back at the shop, and helping research for Jackie's archaeological expeditions.
Unfortunately for the trio, making friends amongst their classmates proved to be just as difficult. While they were frequently invited to join in various games or other activities, they were never specifically invited, always as just part of the crowd. The pendants that kept them safe once more caused other problems, since they didn't stand out socially either, more often than not little more than extra warm bodies for the various activities. This was not to say they didn't enjoy being invited and joining in...but all three felt an obscure loneliness and exclusion in the knowledge that they'd never really be welcomed amongst their fellow students specifically for themselves.
Still, they pressed on. Unable to find such inclusion amongst others, they spent more and more time doing crazy things together around the city of San Francisco. The knowledge that anything they did would be overlooked as 'normal' made many things they'd normally never consider doing exciting challenges. Cumulo played a huge part in many of these endeavors, buzzing the tallest buildings around town before leaping off and finding ways to break their fall before they hit the ground, taking turns for how to do it. The favorite so far was Apple Bloom's bunge-ivy, when she called Ivy growing on the building walls to stretch out and catch them before flinging them back up into the air when they reached the bottom of the stretch, only to be caught by Cumulo on his return flight.
With all their activities together, the sense of loneliness and exclusion faded, though the trio still found themselves desperate for a real friend who liked them for them, someone to bring into their world of magic and embrace all the weirdness and excitement they lived with every day. They all doubted the chance something like that could happen, since ordinary humans couldn't notice anything magical about them - they'd checked, even having Scootaloo ride Cumulo into class, and while the comments of 'cool ride' had been promising, the teacher'd just told her he belonged at the bike rack - and anything magical they encountered likely wouldn't be able to be part of 'ordinary life', and any friendships found there were unlikely to be the sort to invite over for board games or a movie night.
So it was rather unsurprising to Uncle that, despite riding a cyan colored cloud with a rainbow colored contrail that could break the sound barrier, his three little girls arrived home with sad looks on their faces. Unpleasant, but unsurprising. However, he thought he had a few pieces of news that ought to cheer them up. "Welcome home, girls," he greeted them warmly, stepping out from behind the counter. "How was school?"
"...it was okay..." Apple Bloom answered morosely.
"Boring..." Scootaloo grumbled.
Sweetie Belle, ever the sort to try and find the good in things, offered, "The lunch you packed us was tasty?"
Chuckling, Uncle watched as the trio trudged to the table and got to their homework, working studiously away like good little girls...a true sign that they were feeling down in the dumps. "Well, Uncle has good news for you!" he chimed out happily. "Jackie will be coming back from his dig tomorrow!"
All three fillies immediately perked up. "Really?" Sweetie Belle squeaked out. "He'll be here tomorrow?"
"With all sorts of stories of his adventures?" Scootaloo added eagerly.
"And he can test me for my next belt?" Apple Bloom called out happily, her eyes going to where her gi hung in the closet, a red belt wrapped around it.
Uncle chuckled softly, pleased to see how much the three had grown to love and welcome his nephew. It was nice to see how their family had grown. Which, as it turned out, led into his next bit of news. "Although he won't be here until after school, most likely, so you'd best behave yourselves at school and not get detention."
Scootaloo blew a raspberry. "Like we ever do," she replied disdainfully...and more than a little morosely.
"One more thing!" Uncle spoke up, getting their attention. "Jackie is not only family showing up tomorrow. His cousins from Hong Kong are sending their daughter, Jade, to live with us for a year. She will be bunking with you." He smiled impishly. "She is about your age."
"We have a cousin?" Apple Bloom gasped out happily.
"And she's coming to stay with us?" Sweetie Belle squeaked, her voice cracking as she hit the high note.
As the pair started squealing happily, Scootaloo scratched at her chin thoughtfully. "How come they're sending her out here?" she asked curiously. "It's not one of those 'broaden her horizons' things, is it? I mean, if she's our age, isn't she a little young for that?"
Uncle winced. He had hoped he'd get by without spilling this part of what he had to share. "Well...it seems she has been...a bit of a troublemaker back home," Uncle admitted. "They are hoping Jackie will straighten her out."
Scootaloo's eyes widened eagerly. "You mean she knows how to have fun and isn't above stepping around the rules at times?" she asked happily. "And she's someone we can tell about us, because she's family?"
"Well..." Uncle began.
A high pitched squeal cut the air as the three fillies began cheering together.
Sighing, Uncle shook his head, rubbing his fingers in his ears. He didn't have the heart to disillusion them, not when they were this happy.

Oh boy, Jade's about to arrive. I can only imagine the kind of trouble she and the CMC will get into... After of course she stops gushing on how cute they are, cause let's face it. The CMC are adorable.
Such an alliterative addendum agenda unto these amusing adventures was almost above my grasp!
and thus, the chaos begins.
its going to be a squeal good time.
yes I did steal that sans and no I'm not sorry.
Oh sweet heavens... I literally felt a chill when I realized their ages, the closeness of Jade's arrival, and the frigging madness they have been up to... BUNG-IVY?
It's not gonna take Jade long to figure it out, even if they don't tell her. She's got so much going for her; natural chi talent, strong possibility of being The Chosen One reincarnated, epic natural insight, and she was already a trouble maker...
To quote a Certain Space Marine
Hell it's about time.
Aside: I've been wondering why Shendu has been taking his sweet goddamned time.
7301748 BECAUSE THE PLOT DEMANDS IT!
Another enjoyable chapter. Good job.
Yay, Jade!!! I can't wait to see her interact with the Crusaders, as well as the Talisman antics.
Jade plus the CMC? ...Agents of Section 13, we have found the force that will destroy the world. There is nothing we can do. Assume the position and prepare for magical tree sap.
...reduced Jade adventure? I take that back. Advanced Jade adventures.
Jade is coming, and that means the true shenanigans are about to begin.
The last part of this chapter gave me Babs Seed flashbacks
At least Jade won't be a bully, so much as an aloof child upon first impression.
Somewhere out there Discord explodes and Fluttershy cries that 'it's' everywhere.
Time for Jade's debut in the story?
Bring on the glorious misadventures!!
The Crusaders are going to meet jade in...
2? 3? maybe 4 chapters?
Somehow I think that with the speed is going to be between 2-5 chapters (I hope is not more)
7301713 Yeah, me neither!
Jade + CMC= enough chaos that several Discords and a few Eris's are freed from their stone prisons across the multi-verse... Anyone willing to help me find a bunker safe enough for all that?
I've been waiting for this since I stated reading this story! Let the madness begin!
fix'd
Jade +ponies= more bad days for Jackie and Uncle.
....I was hoping for something more, to cheer me up. But Jade will be here soon, I guess.
Aiyah! Jade and CMC mean all sorts of shenanigans!
I just hope Jade is immune to the effects of the pendants.
Yup, come next chapter or so, my Bad Day counter is gunna get a proper work-out again...and likely go into overdrive...I CAN'T WAIT!!!
So how fast do we think that Jade will recognize the fact that the CMC are ponies not people?
...
...I uhh...think you needed to let that one stew for a few more minutes, REEEEEAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLY think hard about what that actually reads as... ^^;;
Also YAY JADE! FINALLY! I've been wondering.
Ok....I need to ask this before I go insane and I've been meaning to ask....what universe is this again?

Bring on the tree sap...
Bah. All the good lines have been taken. Still, looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
Taking all bets, bronies, taking all bets! How many more chapters will it be before the CMC + Jade wind up coated in tree sap? The lack has been understandable in San Francisco, but surely the world traveling will open them up to it.
7302239 Tried for several moment... nope, still see absolutely nothing wrong with that... explain?
So cmc are finally getting to meet Jade...*looks over shoulder*
Discord? Aren't you supposed to be in a statue?
And miss the chaos that is to come?Your kidding right? Oh also your out of popcorn.
7301974 There is no safe place
7301717 You know, I'm torn on whether or not to pun for that solitary pun this time around. Let's hope the CMC aren't gonna be... Jaded when their cousin comes. I'm sure Jade is going to have her... fill-y of excitement soon enough. Then again, we'd best not preempt anything before the Rooster crows.
Really looking forward to the adventures starting in earnest.
Yay
Jade is coming to play
7302614
I believe San Francisco has some parks so I give it two to three chapters at the least, four or five at the most.
7302708
I'll find something even if I have to traverse the multi-verse. *puts on some protective gear*
7302633 Bung is slang for arsehole.
That's not the way it's intended to be read, of course, but with that hyphen there, it's kinda hard NOT to.
And thus begins the reign of the Four Troublemakers of the Apocalypse.
Be afraid... And bring popcorn and lounge chairs. This gun b gud.
Could you excuse me for a minute? I need to check to make sure my doomsday bunker is fully stocked.
Oh looky, Jade! Potentially apocalyptic scenario, in 5....4....3....2..
*Watches as reality begins to warp and twist, noming on Popcorn*
"Cthulhu, Discord, Eris... Take notes! This is how its done!"
7302509
*Watches a singing, meny eyeball'd flood of tree sap flow in the distance.
"Knowing those four... they would some how accidentally summon a sappy elderitch abomination, Nothing can stop The Smoo-- I mean The Sap!"
This: vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/f/f7/Smooze.png/revision/latest?cb=20120217170530 Except made of Tree Sap.
whelp time to go get prepared for the upcoming apocalypse better make sure i pack the essentials i.e the wii, phone, chargers, 3ds, internet, computer
7303276 well, ifyou can stomach it, then look in the inverse polar morality universes (AKA the Evil Universes)
