This story is a sequel to The Cadenza Prophecies
Princess Flurry Heart inherited her mother's beauty and grace as well as her father's strength and bravery. The Empire couldn't hope for a better or more suitable heir to the Crystal Throne. Everypony in Equestria admires her and thinks she will be an ideal ruler.
They're wrong.
Young Flurry Heart has no interest at all in being a prim and proper princess, and would much rather have wild and dangerous adventures like her Aunt Twilight.
Book 5 of the Alicorn Adventure series.
Chapters (29)

Though, for srs, I like the diagrams. That's a nifty touch.
Eeee, it's here! Now, can I actually stand the suspense if I start reading along as it posts?
*snifling*
You beautiful bastard, iisaw
Ahahahaha...
I'm going to have to buy this one too, aren't I?
OH HELL YES.
HERE WE GO AGAIN.

I bet Spike's got all of them, including the rare Scorpan figure.

There will be a hardback of it!

Yup! Mint in box!

I loved such stuff in books when I was a kid... how could I not pass it on?

Thank you!
Was the way to challenge insanely powerful, reckless protagonists - to curse them with responsibility for younger versions of themselves?
Dude.
Do the lower masts stow away for docking, maintenance and repair?
Huh, an interesting start of things.
Hoping it doesnt end up as the luna story did for me, and having to set it down for immersion breaking reasons.

Yes! The keel topmast needs to be unmounted, but the keelmast can be pivoted up into the keel by winch. In fact, most of those spars aren't in place when Nebula is running on her engines.
Alright, so Skyla's feeling a bit rebellious and a call for adventure and wants to follow Auntie Twilight. Let's hope her adolescent rebellious phase goes better then Twilight's did. Please Skyla.. let's NOT nearly cause the extermination of the entire world.....
D'awwwwwwww
That is so CUTE!!!! So, another fic all from Twi's perspective? that could work, have her keep tabs on Flurry, agree to take her on a trip, a grand pirate adventure, but be around to watch over her. Be interesting to see how Twi handles this given her revelations about the best way to lead, to be just stay out of ponies ways, protect them from what they can't protect themselves from, and just let them figure out the rest themselves.. with maybe a few gentle nudges now and then. Be almost the perfect way to deal with a rebellious youth.
Also adorable!
..... Well, given how thing were, guessing Tia and Luna weren't 'born' per se, more 'created'.
With title that long... yeah that's just asking for her to cause trouble.
Hmmmmm.... maybe "Twilight Sparkleish?" I mean, if anypony knows what THAT is like it's you afterall.
So Teen years.. figure when the trilogy takes place... about upper single digits after those events?
Yes.... so long as you don't go through that phase after getting enough personal power to end the world... right Twilight? But yeah.... more this goes on, more.. Twilight really does feel like a perfect choice to help Skyla through this.
MARY SUE! OP! PLZ NERF!!!
Twilight....... way to go Twilight, you go and nearly break the world.... AGAIN! But... ohhhh really like that aspect, didn't consider that, that her being connected to the Heart, and how it reacts to Emotions would mean some pretty bad feedback between the two and cause issues..... yeah that can kind of be a problem. Also... poor Twilight, even after learning her lesson, she's still having to do damage control for past Twilight.
And then Flurry Burry found them and thought they were SO COOL! (Seriously I love that name!)
Damnit story, you are going to make me go use google to learn something aren't you?
Twilight... why couldn't you have just said a 'summary'? Oh right.. because you are Twilight Sparkle, Super-Nerd!
Well.. so she still going on being a Pirate even after all that... or given "Back when she was still Flurry Burry" this just happen way back during that year of Pirate Queen Twilight?
"I only sank ONE ancient legendary city below the waves because of taking to long. But in my defense the Atlantean bazaar had this REALLY amazing street performers guild that was putting on a show. "
Not "Fort Book"? Guess this IS before she starts taking after Auntie Twi-Twi.
"THAT WAS SO COOL!"
Seriously story... so.. much... D'awwwwww ar you trying to to give us diabetes!? To...sweet.. and cute.. and adorable!
Okay.. but to be fair... most ponies don't encounter monsters able to destroy the world and/or enslave populations every few months like you seem to Twi.
And then you just saw just how effective they are when Autnie Twi-wi took them out in what I am assuming was something akin to ten seconds flat.
Smart foal. Very perceptive.
Again D'awwwwww seriulsy you are writing her so damn ADORABLY! Just... so.. so....so....
Now to see that turn into spoiled, surly teen angst Flurry Heart....
Do they have 'kung-fu grip? But.... 'action figures' of the mane 6....I can so believe that.... now the real question.. how many of her own figure does Dash have? Per room.
Foals got a one track mind, and I cannot blame her, who wouldn't want to hear all the cool, exciting adventures Auntie-Twi gets up to rather then boring, stuffy geography and history lessons you get from your tutors?
Very, VERY smart move Twi, and very good, also, very Pony... I love this.. and love that Twi was very specific to make this clear... good show, way to be Princess of Friendship!.. Whiling regaling her with stories about you was "The Pirate Queen of Kicking Flank"
... the wha? Awwwwww we have to deal with an off scene battle of epicness? BOOOOO!!!!! I take back all the good things I've said so far story..... okay, I take back like.. .01% of them.
Yup, like every two or three years. Pony homeowners insurance has got to be the biggest market ever. By this point, most schools and business probably don't even bother closing unless the school /office itself gets stepped on.. it's like snow up north, it's no excuse for taking a day off, best case, you won't get yelled at for being a bit late because of it.
Story...... stop being a plot tease!
Oh..... ow.... yeah this.... not a good turn.... being a bit traumatized.. that might have been better, more directly, visibly effected, if this hit her on a deeper, more subtle level... yeah that's going to be a LOT harder to deal with.. especially if it doesn't really show up till later.
Gee... wherever would she get an idea like that?
Granted, could lead to Twilight thinking she knows more then she really does and coming out with this cliche based on general ideas rather then getting to the true core of the issue. Granted, could be part of it.
Define 'intervene'. If it's just ending them quickly, not letting her go through that.. that might not actually be the best thing.. since it's not giving her a chance to confront those fears. Now more like what you did with the CMC.... very much yes.
Trying to deal with the realization that sometimes good ponies get hurt too and work out the issues of having to face that after always thinking good ponies always are safe and win because they are good?
Sometimes being the closest thing to a physical embodiment of love itself has it's perks. Now, just how insane did Shiny get trying to deal with this 'phase'?
Well, let's be glad she never found out about Flash Sentry's little.. reassignment..... Hey, somepony has to clean up after Cerberus, three heads means that thing eats a LOT.
Luna is a shapeshifter, and you can't tell me Twi couldn't find a spell or relic, or something to deal with that if Luna couldn't.
Called it.
Well we already knew Twilight and Luna have quite the kinky streak. *cough* weathervane *cough*
Alright so, last story ended in 2015, We have good reason to suspect that far less then the six years it has been seasons passed before that, the whole implication season 1-3 were all over a single year. So figure, 2-4 years total there, 5 at most... wait she was young young and Twi was still going on trips.. and it was made as if she was YOUNG YOUNG.. okay so assume 6 years, she'd be 8-9 at that point in 2014 when Twi was being all Pirate... wait does that add up? GAAAHH where's a timeline when you need one? So, 14 now so best case 2-5 years after the events of Enigma?
MARY SUE! OP! PL...oh wait I used this joke already? damnit....
This being Cadance, certainly, and with no embarrassment... other then having to facehoof at hos Shiny tried to bury his head under a cushion to avoid hearing anything or being part of it.
Yup... overly strict, being buried under 'decorum' at this age.... this is just a disaster waiting to happen.. Twilight, get her out of here and let her breath a bit before it reaches critical mass.
I should not be laughing at that and yet.. just the delivery and.. and.. the.....
Twi, not helping this will just make her want to go with you more, because you 'get' her and understand.... which is not a bad thing, at least she has an adult she trusts and respects and will listen to because she believes you do understand her. Don't blow that.
Damnit story I.. I want to read you but.. but you are making it WAY to hard to do so... I can't read while.. laughing so hard... everything get's blurry and I spend time coughing...
Best unwitting double entandra conversation ever! Well at least one of
No... no.. THIS is the face I need to see......
Well I think that reactions says it all... this is a freaking AMAZING start to what look sto be one hell of a fun ride.
I really have missed your writing, it's just so damn GOOD and funny, and sweet, and just.... MOAR!!!!!!!
7967273 There will be a hardback of it!
Commence Batpony levels of EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mwahahaha, it's alive!
7967337
Glad you're enjoying it so far!
Wish I could take credit for it. That's what my friend's little daughter calls Twilight: Pincess Twi-wi.
Oooooh boy. This is gonna be something...
Sudden realization: This is a fourth book in a trilogy of five.
7967691 Not as long as that one where they travel east. It's got about few million words.
7967691 We can only hope.
So... Why'd you skip Cadence?
7967691 What do you mean by that?
7967775
This one was pounding at the inside of my skull, screaming to get out!
7967691
Fourth written, but seventh chronologically.
Trilogy of seven, actually.
YES!
Also I am HIGHLY amused at Twilight's reactions to dear little Flurry asking for training.
7967793 SEVEN!?
Tia, Luna, Twi, now Flurry Heart are accounted for.
Cadance and Chrysalis to be done...
Whose the seventh?
7967971
The Sunset Substitute
7968004
We're going to end up in a lengthy debate over if Sunset counts as an alicorn over that one........
Even so, more Shim Shim is always a good thing.
7968009
No, no! Not that Sunset Shimmer!
7968024
.... okay now I'm all confused....Only other Sunset I know is........ wait.. Vesper Radiance?
And we're off to the races!
7968024
7968061
Sunset Shimmer, despite being a high school girl from another universe, has a place to sleep and money to buy food and clothes. Where do these things come from?
There was a Sunset Shimmer in that world before she arrived...
7968076
You, sir, are a very clever man!
7968004
7968076
Obviously I am your #1 fan, but if I'm honest, I always felt that The Sunset Substitute was a reworking of The Chrysalis Candidate.
7968184
I prefer to think of it as a re imagining of similar themes.
7968076 True.... assuming Sunset didn't just kill and replace her upon entering that world. Is odd we've seen no hints of her at all. But yeah really would like to know where the hell she gets the money to not have starved... and all those leather jackets she keeps tossing around.
Still.. it would make even less sense for her to be an alicorn then Pony-Shimmy.
Then again, Sci-Twi really should not be one either, but you just know if she ever slipped over to Equestria she'd have wings. But, well whenever we get to that one, for now, the wait till we can enjoy more rebellious Skyla being awesome at freaking all the stuck up grown ups out.
I should have some of my Flurry Heart's Crystal Guard Cadet Corps stories published... Flurry looks good in armour.
Other than that... I can't WAIT to read more!
7968194
Oh, The Trixie Technique.* I get it now.
*Sadly, I only have a worn paperback edition. It turned up in a box of Ed McBain novels I got on eBay.
7968263
I'm writin' that down, I'll have you know.
An' I'm a-gonna blame you for it, later.
7968271 I'll hold you to that promise.
An' hidin' behind Apples ain't gonna help ya none!
It would appear that we have found our unifying cliche.
7968384
I'll allow as how it might be some sorta trope, but I don't reckon it's no sort of cliché. And ain't that a fancy, fru-fru sorta word to be usin', anyhow?
And, hand-to-god, I've got (thankfully distant) relatives that talk just like that!
7968423
Rebuttal is also a frou-frou word.
7967777
There are five Hitchhiker's Guide books, even though popularly it has long been known as a trilogy before the fourth was done, due to unusually long gaps between them. The fifth was eventually advertised as "fifth book in a trilogy of four."
Ah, the adventures that be on the seven seas and winds, of pirates and captain, of old salts and brutal cutthroats. Aye, young Skyla has much ventured her young mind forth with narry a thought.
You have no idea what you are getting into, child.
In someways it reminds me of that awesome song Tale of 1,000 Trials. Most notably, the beginning lyrics.
There's a path through the sea for a lass like me,
And it leads to a golden isle!
And we'll dance and we'll slay and we'll slice our way
Through the tale of a thousand trials!
I love pirates and steampunk skyships.
7968525
Touché, partner.
7968531
Well, you've come to the right place!
7968525
It's only rebuttal if you do it again. Before that, it's just a buttal.
Granted, there are few people who only do it once.
7968263
7968423
What about The Sombra Scintillation? Or The Gilda Gambit? Or The Flim Flam Factor? Or even The Gladmane Gladhandhoof?
Aw yes. I'm ready for more!
Aaaaaand now i need buy another book.
That's not fair!
I guess this proves that a sequel being added to a story in your bookshelves doesn't show up in your feed, for whatever reason. Oh well, I guess it's a good thing I checked the front page when I did!
