Interlude 6: A Few Random Scenes
In the oppressive darkness, he had been thinking. There was little else that he could do. He still could not understand what went wrong. He should have been restored to his full glory, powered by the victim he had so carefully recruited, but hardly a dribble of power had come back. Now, he lay trapped, barely able to move the doll that had become the proxy for his body.
He had been thinking, and with nothing to distract him, he could focus exclusively on extricating himself. Although he was experiencing dark days, his situation was far from hopeless. His borrowed body had no lifeforce to maintain, so there was no need to waste mana on that. Unlike the dolls with which he was familiar, the material that formed the body of this one was surprisingly uniform, simplifying the task of adapting it for mana storage. Had he been with his physical body, that fact would have been meaningless. The slow, steady drip of mana that he was being fed was barely enough to sustain him. This form, however, was different. He could practically taste the mana in the air. Extracting it was child's play.
Perhaps the sudden return to glory was never meant to be. After all, nothing worthwhile comes easily. He could build his reserves slowly, perhaps at triple the rate of what he was being fed. He could squirrel away his harvest until he had enough to take action. Then, he would return, triumphant. It was just a matter of time.
The excitement on Monday afternoon in the war room in Canterlot palace was palpable. The finest minds in the land were gathered around the mountain of books piled high on the table. They had been given the only weapon that could be used against their foe. They would win the war on ignorance.
They had been given a window to a new world, and the Princess of the Sun was just as enthusiastic as the assembled scholars as they pored through the new books. The occasional scratch of quill on parchment was the only audible sound as they gorged on the smorgasbord of new information. Their ravenous minds trumped the needs of their bodies. Sleep was staved off with coffee. Hunger was satisfied with catered snacks. Waste management was better left to the imagination.
Celestia had her nose buried in a book explaining the basics of runes when an owl flew in from an orthogonal direction.
“More books?” Slanted Insight asked, not removing his muzzle from the book he was devouring.
“I think we have enough books to hold our attentions for a while,” Celestia said, levitating a scroll from the owl’s grasp. “If you wouldn’t mind waiting, I’d like you to carry a reply to Twilight. I think a few resident owls for the palace would be a prudent idea, and I'd like her to purchase a parliament if she has the opportunity.”
“Who.” The owl bobbed its head before flapping to the back of Slanted’s chair to wait.
“Now, let’s see what my faithful student has to say.” Celestia unrolled the scroll with her magic. After reading she muttered. “Well, that just goes to prove that no matter how well you think you know somepony. . . ” She lowered the scroll and called out, “Guard, please go inform Raven that I would like to speak with her.”
A short time later, an ashen gray unicorn with a glossy black mane entered the meeting room. “You called?” she asked, bowing respectfully.
“Raven.” Celestia wore a worried look. “Do you remember that sabbatical Cadance took? It was what? Eleven years ago?”
“If you are referring to the year she spent away from Canterlot exploring the countryside. I’d say it was closer to twelve years.”
Celestia sighed. “She was gone the better part of a year, wasn’t she.”
“Yes.” Raven chuckled. “Remember how that stallion of hers showed up at least once a week to check and see if she had returned yet. He was always overjoyed when a letter from her was waiting for him.”
“I can’t believe I completely missed the signs,” Celestia said, glancing at a rolled scroll on the desk in front of her. “She’s normally such a responsible young mare.”
“Signs?” Raven raised a questioning eyebrow.
“The signs of youth.” Celestia let out another sigh. “Please send a guard to wake my sister. I’m afraid I’m going to need her assistance containing a scandal. We cannot delay in issuing a joint proclamation, announcing the existence of the realm’s youngest princess. As it is, my nephew, Prince Blueblood is going to throw a fit. I should insist that Cadance break the news to him, herself. After all, she kept it from me.”
“Oh!” Raven eyes went wide as the implications sank in. “This is going to be so much fun. One collective nobles’ meltdown coming right up.”
“I can’t believe she didn’t come to me sooner.” Celestia’s ears drooped. “At least this explains why she’s always disappearing without any explanation.”
“I can’t say I blame her. This way the foal has had a normal life so far.” Raven consoled the larger pony.
“Yes.” Celestia nodded. “But, as you see, the truth eventually comes out.” Grimly she continued. "Before I forget, bring me the big paddle. I'll make sure that Cadance makes an honest stallion of the father."
“I’m home!” the woman called out as soon as she entered the front door of the quiet suburban house. “You won’t believe the day I had.”
“We’re having a day up here,” her husband called from upstairs, humor and some worry bleeding into his voice.
The woman hurried up the steps and found her husband cutting the wall in their bedroom with a keyhole saw. “What are you doing?” she demanded.
“Your daughter is stuck in the wall,” he stated, as bits of plaster and sawdust continued to rain down on the drop cloth.
“What?” the woman asked.
“Daaaaadyyyyy!” Rosie’s voice came from the other side of the object in question. “Hurry! I don’t like it in here!”
“Just how much space is between the walls?” the woman asked, dumbfounded.
“Evidently, enough for a small pony to fall into from the attic,” her husband returned.
“Daaaaadyyyy! Hurry!” Rosie wailed, panic evident in her voice.
“I suppose the story of how your son was attacked at school will just have to wait then,” the woman said, reaching for a pry bar.
“Where are we going?” Lyra asked as she, Twilight, and Emma followed Arthur down Diagon Alley.
“When I was with the goblins, earlier, I had a message sent to a barrister. He was willing to relay a message to his client to meet us for a late lunch. Our reservation is in ten minutes,” Arthur said.
“His client?” Emma asked.
“Sirius Black!” A purple blur exclaimed before launching itself at the target in question.
“Oooooof!”
“Wow!” Remus Lupin said, coming over to shake Arthur’s hand. “All that’s missing was her screaming ‘Mine!’”
“Don’t be obtuse,” Narcissa scolded. “Every witch in the alley clearly heard her proclaim that word.”
“Shouldn’t we help him?” Lyra worriedly asked.
“Don’t be daft.” Emma scoffed. “It wouldn’t be healthy getting between her and her prey.”
To Emma's surprise, Sirius vanished. From his previous position sprang a large black dog who bounded away with his tail between his legs. Nopony was surprised when, a heartbeat later, Twilight vanished, and a purple unicorn galloped in pursuit.
“Oh, look,” Narcissa said dryly. “She can turn into a goat.”
“Goat?” Lyra asked, aghast.
“I can’t believe you have a pet bear.” Alice said as she watched the yellow pegasus massage the back of the large, furry ursidae.
“Oh, Harry isn’t a pet; he’s a friend,” Fluttershy corrected.
“Fair enough.” Alice flapped her wings, the leathery one refusing to coordinate with the feathery one. “I can’t believe you have a bear for a friend.”
“It’s nothing special, really.” Fluttershy said. “Harry is a wonderful friend. Being friends is special, but I’m not special for being friends with Harry.”
“You don’t give yourself enough credit,” Alice said, whipping her draconic tail back and forth experimentally. “You are very special.”
Fluttershy hid behind her mane and squeaked a thank you.
“You both are very special.” Discord said, popping into existence with a flash of light. “I cannot believe my luck in meeting you two.”
“Discord!” the two females cried before throwing themselves at the recently-arrived male.
If ever there was an expression of pure love, it could not equal what the trio displayed. The owl who had flown in from an orthogonal dimension stared indecisively for a several minutes before interrupting with a simple "Whoo?".
Startled, the three looked up. The mood deflated as Alice recognized the owl as one of the Ministry's couriers. With a sigh, she said, "Duty calls."
Professor Snape’s face showed as much emotion as a porcelain mask when he surveyed the Slytherin common room. None could be sure whether he was pleased to find no one from his house was missing. “I trust no one present is so lackwitted as to be ignorant of the purpose behind this gathering.”
He was met by unified silence as the Slytherins stared back and waited.
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Snape continued. “I am sure that you were all duly impressed by what passes for Gryffindor subtlety. The statue Professor McGonagall transfigured from a plate was solid iron. Please note that she did not cast a featherweight charm on it when she asked Miss Apple Bloom to move it from one end of the Great Hall to the other because its placement was not satisfactory. Please also note that there were no charms cast when Miss Bloom changed its pose.”
“She’s the one who threw Barnaby out the window?” a second-year boy asked.
“No, it was Lavender Brown who hurled me.” Barnaby said from his place of shame, standing next to his head of house. “You need to watch out for her; she’s meaner than she looks.”
“Let me make myself explicitly clear,” Professor Snape said. “I will not be informed of any confrontations between members of this house and the first-year Gryffindors.” Once again, he surveyed the room looking for signs of dissent only to be met with the children’s own attempts at stoic faces. “As Mr. Lee can attest, physical prowess is only the first hazard you would face. Even the headmaster would think twice before risking exposure to the sheer amount of political pressure that they can call upon. Keep in mind that the Minister’s own daughter is part of that group.”
A murmur made its way around the common room as everyone present considered the ramifications.
“For his insolence and poorly conceived actions,” Professor Snape continued, “Mr. Lee shall be spending his next four weekends shoveling dragon dung for the goblins.”
At that news, shock registered on most of the student’s faces. “How did they manage to get the goblins to agree to that?” someone blurted out.
“As I said.” Professor Snape sneered. “Their political clout is formidable.” He let the statement sink in before adding, “It should be noted that the gathered parents considered this the more humane option compared to leaving Mr. Lee alone in a room with Miss Bloom for ten minutes.”
“Sounds about right,” Silver Spoon commented, causing everyone else to stare at the girl who threw others across classrooms when she was irritated.
Snape fixed her with a hardened glare. “I trust you have no intentions of antagonizing Apple Bloom or her friends.”
“Oh, you needn’t worry about that.” Diamond Tiara waved a dismissive hand. “We’ve already negotiated an alliance with her and her herd.”
“You negotiated an alliance?” Snape switched the target of his glare. “With the Gryffindors?”
“Yup.” Diamond Tiara nodded. “If we get in trouble, they will come to our aid.”
“At what cost to you?” Snape probed.
“Mainly that we will help them in turn. A real bargain once you consider how much more assistance they are able to muster.” Diamond shrugged. “Why, just the fact that I can sic Apple Bloom on anycreature that threatens my Draco Malfoy makes it well worth the effort.”
Snape continued to glower at Diamond Tiara for a few more seconds before saying to the room in general. “I hope none of you have any lingering doubts as to why Miss Tiara is primus and Mr. Lee is not.”
Another murmur washed through the chamber as many present sent respectful looks Diamond Tiara’s way.
“Which reminds me,” Silver Spoon said. “As primus, can Diamond add to Barnaby Lee’s punishment? He did attack our allies after all.”
Everyone in the room went still, then an older boy said. “His parents would have sworn allegiance when they got their marks, and that allegiance would default to the heir of Slytherin, or in this case, the primus.”
Most occupants of the room proceeded to go several shades paler and Barnaby began to visibly sweat.
“Which means?” Silver Spoon queried.
It took a few seconds, but Professor Snape finally answered. “Miss Tiara may impose any number of punishments that she may deem appropriate. For example, she has the right to decree financial penalties, levy a period of confinement, force an arranged marriage, inflict physical punishment, or let the situation go with a stern warning.”
The occupants of the room lost a few more shades of their collective coloring.
“I would recommend the final option as Mr. Lee was unaware of the alliance at the time he committed the infraction.” Professor Snape finished. “Do not forget, Mr. Lee has had adequate sanctions imposed already.”
“Oooh. I know what to do.” Silver Spoon said and began to excitedly whisper into Diamond Tiara’s ear.
Diamond Tiara broke into a wide grin. “I like it,” she declared. “It will make the Crusaders happy, fulfill our side of the alliance, and prove we can do something that they failed at.”
Anyone wagering that the people in the room couldn’t have gotten any paler would have lost that bet.
A casual observer would describe Hogsmeade as a village out of a Christmas card. From her seat in the quaint Three Broomsticks pub, Nymphadora Tonks skimmed a sensational story from the "Daily Prophet". She snorted, "Harry's harem? What sort of nonsense is that?" The picture showed Harry and his betrothed hugging a clearly-distraught girl while another girl with a large bow, in her hair looked over them protectively. Their school robes clearly showed that they were in Hogwarts. It was a pity that wizard pictures were monochrome in the paper, but the article claimed one had purple hair and the other a striking red.
The pub's owner, Rosmerta, stopped by with a mug of butterbeer and said, "Can you believe that? If he weren't already engaged, I'd think that the Prophet was trying to get him married off. I mean, he's inherited the Potter fortune, his animagus form would melt any girl's heart, and he's supposed to be the secret backup seeker for Gryffindor."
Tonks rolled her eyes. "That's all rumor and speculation."
Pointing to the picture, Rosemerta said, "You do have to admit he looks awfully comfortable with those three."
A commotion at the floo caught their attention. A witch held back a laugh while her companion gave a groan from the prone position. Tonks rushed over and helped the witch pull the man to his feet. "Wotcher, Clementine," said Tonks. "Is this who I think it is?"
Nodding, Clementine replied, "Wotcher, Tonks. This is my friend Jason." Turning to the man, she said, "Jason, this is my friend, Nymphadora Tonks."
Weakly, Jason said, "Give me a minute. I think my stomach is still at your end of the floo."
Rosmerta led the three to Nymphadora's booth and said, "Why don’t you rest a moment? I'll get you a nice pot of chamomile tea."
Once they were seated, Tonks asked, "Is this your boyfriend?"
Weakly, Jason said, "Clementine is very special to me. I wouldn't give her up for the world."
Smiling, Clementine added, "I can't believe how lucky we were to find each other. We're like two sides of the same coin."
With a little more vigor, Jason said, "Clementine said we were meeting a friend who was down in the dumps. Tell us, what can we do to help?"
Tonks replied, "You two have done me a world of good just by visiting. I had thought I was going to have to spend the rest of my life stuck in a pureblood's world. But, you would not believe what just happened!" Her voice cracked at the last declaration.
Anxiously, the others asked, "What?"
"I get to be the first exchange student to a whole new world!" Again, Tonks's voice cracked.
With concern, Clementine said, "You've got to be more careful, or you'll end up a little hoarse."
The denizens of the dingy bar had long ago learned that curiosity was a dangerous pastime. Still, they could not help but stare as Faras Nahr waddled up to the bar. She glared back at them with equal intensity.
The stool groaned in protest as its metal legs bowed under the weight. The perspiring pink patron pronounced, "I'll have the usual."
The bartender shrugged and brought a tea service for one, including a dented metal teapot and a clean glass. He tried not to wince as he watched her empty the sugar bowl into the glass.
Her meaty fingers brought the glass to her lips. She grimaced as the familiar flavor assaulted her taste buds. The air purification charm kept the rest of the local flavor away from her as she scanned the crowd. She had always felt a sense of wrongness in this place, but there was something a bit different this time. On a whim, she cast a true sight charm.
The magic revealed the true ugliness in the room. It was as pleasant as a hands-on experiment in scatology. Unexpectedly, something shown through, like a coprolite transformed into a diamond. The effete face under the turban belonged in the classroom, not in this uncivilized wasteland. Perhaps he, too, had been victimized by Rutter's insanity. Perhaps he could be recruited to the cause.
With a predatory smile, she turned to the bartender and said, "Barkeep, please send a strawberry daiquiri to the gentleman in that booth with my compliments."
With a shrug, the bartender delivered the order. The woman watched as her target turned his head to follow the bartender's direction. Their eyes locked. A smile came to the lips in the back of his head. This had to be destiny.

Amazing. With one snap of Discord's taloned claw, Chrysalis has accidently caused far more trouble for Candace and Shining than she ever did in the prime universe.
And all by being a good mother too! The irony abounds.
Does this declaration of the child's royalty count as adoption then? Such titles cannot be revoked at will after all, they are usually quite permanent. In a way, this could be argued to retroactively make Chrysalis the third Sister by adoption. Or at least the weird cousin.
In any case, Celestia has now formally bound the Changeling and Equestrian royal lines together by way of adoption. And by marriage, if the wedding goes off without a hitch. Though this "illegitimate" child might complicate that... Aiet, this is getting weird on a whole new level.
Never stop doing it, please. I'll never have enough. Seriously.
9388180
The problem is that technically speaking, the pony being adopted doesn't actually exist. She isn't adopting the Changeling, she's adopting her pony cover, and any papers would most likely reflect as such.
Plus, the official documents would list Princess Cadance as the mother, with no mention of Chrissy. Not only would Chrissy not get any benefits, this could see her losing "custody" of the child, as legally speaking, they aren't related.
Once adopted, princess Clouded Hope will keep the hive well-fed forever.
Will Discord search for true Cadance? What will he do?
9388195
Do we need a 'Little Hoarse' counter here?
am I the only one in imagend twilight going after Sirius papa la pu style? Also what is Alice pricely ?
I have a question about the Chrysalis/Cadance situation: Which one of them sent the nuclear howler to Dumbledore?
How very interesting that Alice is a draconequus. I wasn't expecting that. Did she get any chaos magic from that transformation, since everyone else turning into Equestrian species seems to have lingering effects from their own cross-species transformations? Or does the chaos magic still reside purely with Discord?
Welp with that demonstration, perhaps those of Slytherin will at least think twice about antagonizing Apple Bloom and herd now, especially considering their primus is allied with them.
Always happy to see an update from this story. Thank you very much for the update!
I am confusion.
The royal in question is Cadance.
Shining Armor married into royalty. Technically does not have the royal blood.
Even if Clouded Hope is his child, it’s not Cadance’s (the real one).
That being said, Clouded is technically not an Equestrian royal.
And yet no one is doing anything confirm this? No genetic tests? Confirmations? Anything? Just word of mouth?
Oh, you don't know the half of it, Clementine.
9388256
I'm pretty sure Alice's "Pony" form is a Draconequus.
Sweetie (reading Daily Prophet): What's a harem?
A random seventh year explains.
Bloom: So practically a herd?
Harry:
Booo! Hiss! No easy way out for Chrysalis! Let her work for the blunder that was claiming Clouded Hope as Cadance's daughter!
9388288
It's been confirmed to the Observers that Clouded Hope is a Changeling. The 'Cadance' we see appear when Discord summons their parents for a PTA meeting is likely to be Chrysalis, or some other Queen.
9388421
Considering her name though, I'm betting she'll somehow 'change' things up a bit.
What was DIamonds plan as an add on punishment?
93883 i kind figured that out but I typed that question out on my phone so it would have been hard for me to type Draconequus.
9388288
IRL, genetic testing wasn't possible until the 1980s & wasn't widely available until the 1990s.
Unless there is a magic equivalent, it's plausible that EQ doesn't have that.
If so, then yes, it DOES depend on the mother's unsupported word
9388430
However it turns out Cadance herself was gone for a while though... So possibility is that something is hidden from us.
Faras Nahr - downloaded the whole story and searched for that name: It turns out it's Umbridge (the meaty fingers kinda gave her away).
9388534
Chryissy better keep Cadance in good shape, the scrutiny level is about to hit 11. Again this ironically is good for her, with the botched invasion and getting her caraprace kicked by ponies over and over her mentally stability won't degraded like in cannon and she's going to be forced to be more diplomatic. In this universe she might actually reform since anger and the desire for revenge won't cloud her judgment.
9388180
It is popular in a certain segment of the fandom to have Chrysalis in a relationship with Shining and Cadence. How kinky depends on the story. She's off to a very bad start with Cadence here, but dang, I hope that is the end result.
Wait wait wait. Cadence has been Chrysalis' prisoner for 12 fucking years?! Where the fuck is the spirit of justice there?! Seriously that's fucked up!
9388875
I believe the author left something that need to be explained in the coming chapters. Personally, I assumed some un-confirmed facts and coincidences mixed up to Celestia's conclusion.
Twilight Velvet: That's my girl! The Sparkles never let our prey escape... err.. Goal! I really meat to say goal! (cough) Anyway, don't forget to show your catch to me later darling~
Oh Christ...
They’re gonna rip chrissys world a fucking sunder
9388534
Also, according to Google, "Faras Nahr" (فرس نهر) is "hippopotamus" in Arabic. Quite appropriate.
So many interesting tidbits in this chapter.. Hope they snag the Candance imposter not the real Candance.. Go get him TWILIGHT!!! While annoying no one ever implied Diamond wasn't crafty if not intelligent especially when it benefits her
A strawberry daiquiri? He's a wizard with a wand made of wood.
She should send him a...
... hickory daiquiri, Doc.
:D
9388658
Eyup. And, as I think I commented earlier (can't quite remember if it was this thread or the other), if Changelings can feed off of humans, they've got a BILLIONS strong food supply that's willing to feed them. Every guy that can't get a girl, every girl that can't catch a guy, every human who's set their expectations too high in what they want from a partner (physically speaking, that is) can now have a live-in companion who can transform to look like a Hollywood movie star (male or female, take your pick!), and all for the low, low price of feeding them with all the emotion you can manage -- something you'd do anyway!
"I'll take... oh... three, no, FOUR changelings, Queen Chrysalis! And oh, here's who I'd like them to look like. What's that? Oh, the labels on the movies? No, no, pay no attention to that 'adults only' label, it's just a human convention, nothing important..."
9388234
yes we do just like the "bad day" one
9389099
Well let's be honest cannon Chryissy had a mental break down at some point and stopped seeing reason becoming vengeance obsessed. In this time line she won't get womped on by the elements and dethroned by Thoarx. And if the comics are cannon here no months trapped in a castle tormented by riddles after Twilight beats her.
Alice's form. I should not have been surprised.
Not Cadence's part is slightly confusing. The foal is clearly a changeling which means if she is Cadences Chryssy is the father....or Cadence is. Shiny may not have any part of this.
Twilight's showing signs of Pepe la Pew here.
And of course.....there had to be another little horse joke.
Sooo Diamond Tiara now basically runs the Death Eaters ... neat ...
Punctuation Error: missing comma
Punctuation Error: missing comma 'As Primus, can Diamond'
Punctuation Error: unmarked Question 'punishment?'
Starswirl's Principle of Planoprovincial Problem Solving: If I don't share a universe with it, it's not my problem.
The convenient coincidence feels more than a little contrived, but the fallout should be quite interesting to see indeed. Especially since Shining Armor clearly isn't the father, given how eagerly he awaited those letters.
Alice is a draconequus? I wonder if that's a symbol of her shakeup capacity or just preferential treatment by Discord.
Booo.
And... huh. That answers the question of what happened to Quirrel. Between that and Chucky gathering his strength, there's still plenty of havoc on the horizon.
9388938
reminds me of the national geographic story
9389264
they certainly arnt stallion around with any chance they get, though it might be time to rein those jokes in a little....
9388376
A random second year "Wait so seamus, Dean, Ron and Neville are all part of Harry's Harem then?"
9388875
I think 12 years ago the real Cadence took that tour and its only here to keep Chrysalis from being exposed given Chrysalis gave an explanation last chapter for not feeding her for 3 day's I suspect she's only been prisoner for a short time. Of course given how active/knowledgeable Discord and the spirit of justice are I hope it gets resolved soon as I feel sorry for Cadence who's a very nice mare.
9389264
Cadence is the mother of all changelings including clouded hope, she is also currently impersonating Cadence as part of the abandoned plan to invade Canterlot with the real Cadence locked up in the caves. When Discord summoned the parents he got her in Cadence's form leading everyone to belive Cadence is Clouded Hopes mother since they don't know the Cadence running around Canterlot is really Chrysalis impersonating her.
What are the odds that Tonks will come out the other side of the Portal as a Changling?
"Herding" for the equestrians does not fit canon. All the pairings on the show are pairings, two. Not multiples.
Also, is there really a 3 to 1 ratio? I understand that girls get more screen time, but if you look at our society you might think that there are three times as many men by the same standard. How do we know that Equestria isn't just a female-dominated society, equal ratios, like Earth is male-dominated, equal ratios?
After consuming all my spare time for the past four days, I've finally caught up. This is quite the addictive story, you know?
Events certainly have taken interesting turns. I had not foreseen how quickly things would happen. In little more than two weeks, it went from the CMC having just arrived in the wizarding world to nearly having diplomatic relations between Equestria and WW. I should have foreseen Diamond Tiara's entrance along with the changelings - the implications are too interesting to pass up.
I am most interested to see where things go from here. How will Nymphadora handle being in Equestria? What was in Harry's medical files? When will Clouded Hope's façade be revealed? Will Zecora ever return to Hogwarts? We have yet to see Pinkie Pie/Spike/Celestia/Luna visit the human world. And how will Shining Armor react to the royal announcement of his child? I'm sure these questions will be addressed even as more twists and turns raise even more questions.
Keep up the good work!

It does have the "Alt Universe" tag for a reason.
Dreadnought
Hmm...
Does "Raven" have a bird familiar?
What kind of witch will she be once she crosses over? An angry teen-ager with Daddy issues perhaps?
Maybe somepony that tries to keep her emotions from running away because her magic goes out of control?
9396698
Umm... ummm... that's nott gonna stop it from happening?
9394428
We haven't seen that many couples either though I do agree with your point. The 3 to 1 I believe came from someone elsewhere ( as in not this story) counting background ponies in crowd scenes.
A-a-a-any day now...
You’re never going to get sick of this joke, are you?

He'll go hoarse before it gets old...
Oh lord.
*Infinite groan*
i want to continue reading this, i really do, but it cuts away to a different scene way to often and i am getting lost.
"I am extremely overprotective over my man", says no teenager girl ever. But I guess whatever. The author is too busy writing a harem story.
So pale they made the ghosts jealous
