Just a nice, polite Canadian.

"Shining? You think Mom and Dad might've been kidnapped by ninjas?" Twilight Sparkle nervously asked her brother.

"Looks like it," Shining told his sister openly. "Why else would they be so late?"

Thus began the night of a thousand fibs.

Ah, I see the battle standard has been raised. :ajbemused:

I shall meet you and your clearly-destined-for-greatness cuteness overload on the battlefield of the Feature Box! :rainbowdetermined2:

Twilight growled deep within her throat. “Okay, so maybe I don’t know everything! But I’m getting there! Honest! Give me like two more weeks tops!”

I see you have yet to learn the most important lesson of all: as the knowledge you know increases linearly, so the knowledge you know you don't know increases exponentially.

This pretty much captures the essence of big-brother-hood. :rainbowlaugh:

Show, don't tell.

The brutality this fic has inflicted upon my face won't be forgotten. My mouth has been pummeled into a permanent smile. :pinkiehappy:

What's going to happen when Twilight figures out that Shining made all that up? :applejackunsure:

And as if precisely to spoil the tender moment with, Shining said, “I gave Flurry Heart a glass of water today.”

Oh. Okay. Why?”

“Because she was a little horse.”

I audibly groaned

One of the best slice of lifes' ever! Congrats, you earned yourself a favourite!

Sweet Celestia I called it. :rainbowlaugh:

What if they’re not just any old regular evil robots, but evil sentient robots instead?

Then we'll form the railroad

Can I be Deacon

7777571
Or worse, what if it's DISCOUNT Cereal Mascots?!

7776524 especially this

“But—” was as far as Twilight got, before she was effortlessly levitated into the kitchen tail-first.

Wow little Twiley is just too adorable and silly. Then again Shining was great too. I just love how the parents are like "You know what? Fuck this shit. we are both WAY too tired to deal with this nonsense."

I know not what wellspring you tap for these funny adorable stories, merely that if you sold it by the thermos, you could make a fortune. +)

A funny, wholesome fic finally is in the feature box, instead of tasteless smut?

The amount of adorableness in this story is too dang high! This was an enjoyable read, so thank you!

Fronking amazing.

Always the best author. Welcome back derpy-senpai, and I hope you never change.

7777571 too late, blew everything up, evil sentient robots are gone... you can thank the TwiNuke of adorableness

Well that was an adorable little journey.

“Could now be the right time?.”

“Could now be the right time?”

(Drop the period)

~~~~~+++++~~~~~

Apart from that, looks absolutely perfect and is about the cutest most adorable thing I could possibly read on this rainy Thestralian morning. :heart:

Adorable, and a great way to cap off the story. Only thing is, it wasn't Twilight who defeated Chrysalis, either time (not sure if this is pre/post S6 finale). First time was Shining/Cadance, second was Starlight/Thorax. A minor quibble in the end.

The fact a Robin Williams meme showed up right below someone with a Genie avatar makes me cry happy memory tears on top of the laughter tears I already had. Thank you both and the author too!:pinkiesad2:

“So Cadence helps you train? Is that what you two are always doing in your room with the door shut?”

I died of laughter in that line...

7778169 I still want to be Deacon

7777859
And it's in the top shelf no less... it's official. CLOPERS! LISTEN UP!

I do quite enjoy the 'Calvin's Dad' approach to raising kids. Twilight was critical and sharp even at that age, eh? And good old Shining Armor, he's such a sweetheart. :rainbowkiss:

This was an adorable and hilarious story, especially with this epilogue.

That was positively adorable and hilarious.

I really like how you wrote Twilight-she's very clearly a very intelligent girl, but she is also clearly very young as well. Shining was particularly well written as well.

That was a cute, funny, and heartwarming story to read, especially when it's the middle of a night while it's raining outside. :twilightsmile: :heart: I love it when Twilight and Shining gets to have a fun time together while using their imaginations.

So we should really be scared if we ever run into a Zombie Dragon Robot Ninja Cereal Mascot!:pinkiegasp:

No offense but I'm getting tired of seeing shorts get spotlight. Anyone else agree? I need more content than a five minute read.

I see where you're coming from, but personally, I love them. Especially when they're consistently high-quality like NBD's work. Georg does it. Monochromatic does it. And quite a few other talented authors. They're short and great! I can't really find the time to sit down for a long fic, so one-shots are a staple for me. And that may give you some insight too: the reason these one-shots are popular is because they're "short and sweet." I know a lot of readers love these short fics because they don't have to invest into a long fic either because they don't have the time or they have other long stories they're committed too. So, if you're wondering why these cutesie stories 5k or less have found a niche in the featured box, it's because there's a market. Same goes for clop but I'd much rather have adorable fluff or a sad short or a quick laugh over clop. :twilightblush:

If you're referring to him specifically, yeah, sure! I'd love to see some longer stuff from him. I'd love to see something like Sombra the Highly Unmotivated or some of his earliest chapter stories.

7780098 Not him. Just when I get in a mood to read and I'm finished in less than ten minutes, leave me in a conundrum. Now I have to search for more things to read. That's the only issue. Been trying to find the hidden gems here. You know? like series wise to keep me going?

7780098 Also good to see you Chappy. Expcet seeing me more often now on site. I think my vacation's done.

7778758 Thanks for saying so! :pinkiehappy: Glad you enjoyed it.

7778686 Thank you! :twilightsmile:

7778664 You've discovered my secret! That I can't write kids, so they all sound like adults! :unsuresweetie:

7778310 I haven't even watched the finale yet, actually... :applecry:

7778039 But where did I go? I thought I was still here. :applejackconfused: And, sadly, I couldn't change even if I wanted to.

7780175 Well, you don't update as much anymore, but I absolutely love it when you do, especially with cute stories like this.

7777859 I know, I know. I'm breaking the rules and will soon be banned. Only clop allowed in the feature box these days. :pinkiesick:

7777814 I think there's a balance. If I write something dark, the next thing I write will be sweet. If I write something sad, the next thing might be funny. I like to bounce around a lot to stay interested. Thanks for reading some more of my crap! :yay:

7777641 More like the author's reaction: "This shit's already 5k? I'm not writing more. Quick wrap up now!"

7776943 I drink your misery up greedily and demand more. :pinkiecrazy:

7776675 I do like punching people in the face with my words.

7776510 Already dethroned, I'm afraid. :fluttershysad: But, hey, still featured! That's pretty cool!

7780202
Yeah, and I might actually end up deleting my story before it slips out of the extended box. :facehoof: Still seeking advice.

This story :rainbowlaugh: Brings back memories to what my brothers use to do with me. A totally cute read. Well done. Well done. :rainbowkiss:

You know, we need a lot more of these stories about moments between little filly Twily and her Big Brother Best Friend Forever. I guess I'll have to do something about that myself.

And as if precisely to spoil the tender moment with, Shining said, “I gave Flurry Heart a glass of water today.”

Was it a little glass of water, please?

This pretty much captures the essence of big-brother-hood.

As someone who is the youngest of 5, with 4 elder brothers, I am not sure how I feel about this.

It is bad enough to find out that your mum and da are not 12th Dan Judo grandmasters, but to also find that the shadowy ninja assassin cabal is a fabrication as well?
:pinkiegasp:

What is next? Is nothing sacred?

You mean Tony does not have by best breakfast at heart? That the Invisible Couch Pirates do not exist or zombies do not live in the scary wooded grove behind our house? That the Brotherly Brotherhood Band is a sham?!

My whole life has been turned upside down...

(No issues with the robots though; thanks to my college degree and current events, my outdated, irrational, superstition-based fear of putting my personal information into a computer has been replaced by a new, rational, fact-based fear of putting my personal information into a computer)
:facehoof:

you get a thumbs up from me for the awful pun at the end of the story
