Twilight Gets a Puppy
By TDR
Apple Bark Season
Epilogue.
[Canterlot, Celestia's sitting room. ]
Celestia took another sip of tea, she was seated comfortably at a table, mentally counting down the seconds until eight o clock. The sun was raised a few hours ago and her sister had lowered the moon. Of course that was when Moon Dancer's class with Luna began.
At precisely eight o clock the class ended. And every single day since class started Luna would come visit her before heading off to bed to attempt to sleep. Her sisters sleep schedule was quite erratic as of late. The only times she was really up was when it was time to raise and lower the moon, and at eight o clock.
Usually because she was foaming mad by that point.
“TIA!” Celestia's door burst open as she reached zero in her counting. A clearly pissed off Luna barging in. The Guards outside the door barely batted an eye at the entrance, after two weeks it was normal routine. Once Luna was inside they checked to see if they needed to summon the door repair pony that was now on call to the castle, before closing the door and leaving the pair be.
“Hello Lulu. “ Celestia smiled. ”Have fun in class?”
“While we understand that we have not been caught up on modern education, we do not expect to be treated as if we were attending magical kindergarten!”
“Oh modern geography with the puzzle maps?”
“Worse. Conjunctions!” Luna fussed as she sat down on the side of the table opposite her sister.” We shall never get that song about trains out of our head.”
“Would you like something to eat?” Celestia placated as Luna continued to rant.
“Nay just the orange juice.” Luna stated. Celestia was quite glad her sister had not yet discovered coffee. Though it was only a matter of time.
“ I know there is more to it than that sister.”Celestia chuckled pouring her sister a glass. “You always complain about Moon Dancer's lessons, but not only do you always go back, what she is teaching is never the real reason you are annoyed.”
“Feh.” Luna snorted draining the orange juice quickly and refilling her glass. Luna had rather quickly become enamored with the different kinds of juice that existed nowadays, with orange currently being her favorite, and fruit punch a close second.
“Well?” Celestia asked with a smile.
“She does not believe we should again move the stars, nor should we recreate our moon's phases.” Luna growled.
“Oh? Did she give a reason why?” Celestia had been the one to suggest this to Moon Dancer, for a number of reasons she expected her student would bring up. Really it was a ploy to keep Luna from trying to overtax herself, and to keep the royal astronomers from going mad.
“ Navigation by the static stars and readjustment of the tides.....My moons phases have little effect on the tide unless thine sun is involved as well. It is as if she expects cataclysmic upheavals simply from............what did thee do?” Luna demanded suddenly.
Luna's eyes narrow as Celestia tried to look anywhere but at her sister. This had not gone as planned.
“Tia.......” Luna grumbled as she stared at her sister.
“I may have once attempted to sway a primitive tribe in the south to my way of thinking by staging a solar eclipse....”
“Tia....”
“During the summer......”
“Tiaaaa......” Luna's inflection on the last letter of her nickname made Celestia wince a bit.
“And I might have forgotten that I had only been trying to control the moon for fifty or so years at that point.....”
Luna simply stared.
“AnnnnnnnnnnnndIfloodedmostofEquestriaandblamedtheresultingProigeanTideonNightmareMoon.”
Luna blinked once, very slowly, before slapping both her hooves to her face.”Thee didn't........”
“To be fair, it did impress that tribe......”
“Tia!” Luna frowned.” Thee blamed thine screw up on us and our moon!??! Tis no wonder it was such a heated debate.”
“Well she is correct on the navigation....” Celestia worked to change the subject trying to hide behind her tea cup. She had no idea why ponies thought her a master manipulator when, much like this one, half of her plans blew up in her face.
“No she is not. There have always been brighter stars we do not move. There are even stars that we cannot move that are outside of our reach. The stars that we do not move are the same as the ones mariners of a thousand years past followed. The rest were decoration for us to play with!”
“Did you tell her that?”
Luna blinked and flattened her ears to her head.” Nay, class was over and we came here to complain.”
“Well you have your assignment for tomorrow then.” Celestia chuckled.
“T'would be easier if you admitted twas your fault.” Luna stated glaring at Celestia.
A flash of green flame over her horn interrupted the discussion and Celestia silently thanked Twilight for the distraction.
“Tis not the end of this discussion Tia.”Luna grumbled.
“Shh, I'm trying to read.” Celestia smirked behind the note.” Let's see, Dear Princess Celestia, we have a new contended for most stubborn pony in Equestria, Applejack.”
“Hmm?”
“Let's see. Big Mac hurt, worked herself to half to death, stopped a stampede, poisoned half the town, nearly killed Rainbow Dash, caused a stampede of bunnies?”
“We would have liked to have seen that. It sounds adorable.” Luna admitted.
“ Argued up to the point of her collapse, argued after her collapse and tried to run Rahs, Spike and I off. Had Rahs sit on her while the other girls, Spike, and I finished the harvest. She was particularly annoyed when I used Quid's theorem to reduce the size of thirty trees worth of fruit down to three baskets for transport. Still she got over everything and was finally accepting of the help by the time we were done........”
“Well that is good.” Luna stated.
“.....Until Rahs and and Fluttershy's pet Angel Bunny got in a fight over Rahs' choice of lunch. They destroyed three trees, a barn and a good three hundred yards of fence before Fluttershy managed to stop them.....”
“Is Angel Bunny the name of a Ursa or a Hydra perhaps?” Luna asked.
Celestia blinked and kept reading.” I don't know what Fluttershy feeds that rabbit, but perhaps we should find out and change the Royal Guard's rations.”
“A rabbit?”Luna blinked.
“ I would very much like to know how a rabbit managed to fight Rahs.” Celestia muttered looking over the rest of the note for clues though only finding a few notes on how they were getting along in town.
“Hmm, it could be a Vorpel.” Luna nodded. “Provided your student is not exaggerating.”
“She doesn't do that. Still Vorpels went extinct over a thousand years ago.” Celestia asked.
“We 'hoped' they went extinct.” Luna corrected.” We never knew for sure. White's brood was always surly. Since time hath not stopped White is still around,and with how prolific his race can be.....”
“I really hate that rabbit....” Celestia sighed.
“He never did understand why we stopped inviting him to parties. 'Fashionably late' is not a thing.” Luna grumbled.
Conjunction junction. What's your function.
I have made many links to the Bloodline I believe Angel is descended from so I wont here at this time but it sure makes sense!
There are never enough like her when dealing with people like tia
30+, 40- and I remember those damned things far to well as my mom would turn the fucking things off!
Interesting well that might explain a few things abotu Angel Bunny...
AS A PS this reader remembers those songs and how they stuck in your head
No, it is the alias of Bun Bun.

Called it angel beat up rahas
300 yards of fence? That's... Uh...
*Some mental math later*
... A little over half a mile of fence destroyed. Must have been some fight.
angel bunny is in fact an archdevil who was going to take over till he meet fluttershy and could not harm her and became her pet bunny
8577673
Well, properly aimed, Rahs could have punted Angel a half-mile down the length of the fence, hitting every post on the way. A guy can dream, anyway.
8577691
"On the next episode of Pony Bark Z...!"
8577622
8577631
Sometimes they stick just by saying the name.
8577646
If asked Rahs would say he won, and Angel Bunny would laugh, and then another fight would start and continue until either Twilight or Fluttershy intervened again. There are no winners in these fights, except for Spike, who finds it all hilarious.
8577673 more like a cartoon chase scene where Angel runs between the posts and Rahs plows through them.
8577691 it should be known by my avatar. i am probably one of the few people who like Angel Bunny.
Angle bunny may be the son of Daisy, DOOM Guy's pet bunny

Did I read this? Could've sworn I did....well guess it's better late then never.
This is now my headcannon
8577706
Ah, well, you see, I thought that you were the dark, mirror, version of Angel, that was actually good.
Beware the wonderland rabbit
8577673
Erm... more like just over 1/6 of a mile. A mile is 1760 yards. :D
Now that would be a fun side fic to write about those two and how they become best friends from it>>8577706
8577706
I regret nothing.
I actually guessed vorpol bunny the moment I reas the part where he fought rahs and nearly won, only flutters could control such a beast.
Ah, I'm not the only old fart here.
So, Angel Bunny is related to the rabbit in Monty Python and the Quest fot the Holy Grail?
You don't have to be an old fart to know about school house rock, it was also on in the nineties.

8578760
what if angle is the ruslt of those two breeding?
Conjunction Junction!

For those not familiar with Bun-Bun, I give you… Sluggy Freelance! Be forewarned, it's one of the longest-running webcomics, with over twenty years of archives to trawl.

Great story overall, there are quite a few spelling errors across the story, which can be distracting at times. Other than that though, I've been enjoying the story.
8579570
Y'know, I was just thinking myself that Angel Bunny's lineage could probably be traced back to Caerbannog.
Gotta love School House Rock.
Ah yes, Conjunction Junction, the bane of my elementary school English class.
I LOVE how Luna has no qualms at calling Celestia out on her BS. Sometimes Celestia REALLY pisses me off. "Oh hey Twilight I'm sending you super blind into a new dimension that I claim to know information about, but won't share even the most basic of information. Surely you don't need to know the dominant life forms are bipedal, or that there's no magic there!" ~.~

Only ever heard the veggie tales parody of it.
Also side not. Rah vs diamond dogs. Well assuming dog in pony show happens in
8579905
Wat
8579112
Two out of three ain't bad for me...but I'm definitely intimidated by twenty years of comic archives. It's a good thing I have no life!
8579112
at the age of 54 i still love conjugation junction.
i am thinking somepony needs to tell Rahs what is in hossenpepper.
I have always hatted angel bunny, the few story's i have helped with angle always gets killed some how.
This was a fun take on things. Staying pretty much true to events, even if a few little twists or alterations in given reasoning. Some notes from it on random things.
-Minotuar's make guns, I can see it. Though likely as a holdover from FoE headcanons, tend to see them more as a Griffon thing. But, Minotaur does make sense, and you have established them in this continuity as being one of if not the most technically advanced groups.
-Mac, be careful of phrasing like 'monkeys might fly out of your butt', Discord is going to be around soon and well......
-Unicorn's desire to be up high is probably just a bit of bleed through of overall wizardly impulses to live in towers. Unless your Harry Dresden, then you take out the cheapest basement/sub-basement apartment you can get.
-"Is Angel Bunny the name of a Ursa or a Hydra perhaps?" I freaking lost it at that bit, Angel being tough enough to take Rahs on in a fight and make it epic, I approve of this idea.
8580642
I loved that song...
8578760
That actually seems to make much more sense.
Noooooo dear author you are not old... Just aged... Like cheese
10094661
or some very good wine
It does dosen't
If we have to suffer, you do too.
"Conjunction junction, what's your function?"
10094661
Stop being cheesy.
One of my favorites as a kid catchy and educational
Got to love the royal sisters chapters ♡
Devil bunny is a go?
8577622
To get people to hate it
8577636
Meh... Not badass enough.
8577673
I feel sorry for the trees that need to be converted into fence...
8577694
Very fitting
8577688
Overlord Bunny would be my guess...
8577691
Or the other way around...
8577706
Angel bunny vs Tirek... Tirek lost both horns, a kidney and half his teeth, get the titel kight of the realm and becomes the biggest bunny stud ever to have existed.
Demi god status perhaps?
Hay I liked all of the school house rock events I even have both computer video games.
Fillies and gentlecolts, I give you; Loki, in a nutshell.
10979344
Well Loki does shapeshift into a horse so Loki could be the ancestor for Celestia.
8582367
Yeah and considering it looks like she been sliding on the education of things of the night rather than admit that she messed up trying to do her sister job along with her own. Maybe they should educate each other in their jobs just in case for the future.
