Twilight Gets a Puppy
By TDR
Feeling Pinkie Kennel,
part 2
“Laugh it up jerk. I know where you sleep.” Twilight grumbled, pulling the frog off her face and glaring back at Rahs who was still laughing. Shining Armor was at least trying to hide his laughter and Pinkie Pie.... she still looked like she always did.
“Oh.. I'm so so sorry! “ A soft voice from the sky placated causing the four of them plus the frog to look up.
Fluttershy floated above them with a wagon. The wagon and the mares saddle bags were full of frogs.
“Are you okay Twilight?” Fluttershy questioned.
“ Only thing hurt was my pride.....” Twilight sighed.” What are you doing?”
“Well I couldn't stand to see the pond get so overpopulated, with the frogs hopping into each other and all. With winter coming there wouldn't be enough room in the little fish pond for all of them to hibernate properly. So I was taking them out to Froggy Bottom Bog, there's plenty of room there.”
“Why are there so many frogs in one pond?” Shining asked.
“Well after the duck pond exploded, they were all rather worried about it happening again and fled to the fish pond.” Fluttershy explained.
“Wait the pond exploded?” Shining Armor stammered rather confused.
“Oh yes, at least twice.”Fluttershy nodded.
“Long story.” Twilight sighed as she floated the frog back up to Fluttershy. “Any way introductions. Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, this is my older brother Shining Armor, he's going to be hanging around for the weekend.”
Pinkie Pie stared sitting down hard as she tapped her chin with a hoof staring at Shining. Fluttershy meeped and seemed to fold in on herself as she turned red muttering something that sounded like 'he looks like Rahs' before darting off quickly towards the bog.
“Likes?” Pinkie Pie asked Rahs.
“Woof.” Rahs commented.
“Allergies?”
“Bark.”
“Coconut... okay....phobias?”
“Bork.” Rahs grinned before Pinkie Pie poked him with a hoof.
“Hey buster I’m being serious here.” Pinkie Pie frowned.
“So is he, Shining suffers from Caligynephobia. He's getting better with Cadence's help, but still.” Twilight smirked.
“I don't even know what that means.” Shining grumbled as Twilight giggled.
“Don't worry about it, Pinkie anything you do is fine. Though I’d prefer it smaller for my sake.” Twilight offered.
“Okie Doki.” Pinkie Pie chimed hopping off.
“Well that was odd.” Shining Armor stated as the trio continued on.
“You get used to it.” Twilight sighed.
“Woof.” Rahs pointed out rubbing his chin as he looked into the sky.
“No, I don't think she predicted that. It wasn't anything more than a coincidence.” Twilight grumbled.
“TWITCHIE TAIL TWITCHIE, TAIL SOMETHING ELSE IS GONNA FALL!!” Pinkie Pie shouted.
“What is she on about noAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” Twilight yelped, falling into a ditch with a crash as Rahs and Shining Armor looked down at her.
“Woof.” Rahs stated.
“Two coincidences in a row does not make her a prophet!” Twilight yelled from the ground.
“I dunno she said something was gonna fall sis and down you went.” Shining smiled.
“Why is there a ditch in the middle of the road any way!?!” Twilight fussed as she picked herself up.
“Bark.” Rahs sighed rolling his eyes.
“What do you mean Sweetiebelle cast a Dragon Slave? That's the highest black magic attack spell there is!” Twilight growled.
“The girls'n Spike said they was trying fer a speed demon cutie mark, whatever that is, and needed tah make Scootaloo's wagon go faster.... and boy howdy did it ever.” a voice with a southern draw stated. “ If they hadn't all fallen off tha wagon when it flew over tha orchard we'd probably have had tah go pick um up out in Appleoosa. As it stands Braburn's mailing back tha wagon soon as they can get it unstuck from tha Sheriff's office.”
“Sturdy wagon.” Shining Armor whistled looking at Rahs.” Nice to see Spike keeps interesting company now.”
“How am I just hearing about this now?” Twilight grumbled.
“Dunno, whole town heard tha blast. Think all of um cept Scootaloo are too terrified to ever think of trying that again. Sweetiebelle dun know how she did it and Scoots said it was too slow fer her still.” Applejack chuckled helping Twilight up out of the ditch.
“Are we sure she's not related to Rainbow?” Twilight grumbled.
“Nah, met her parents, nice folks, real busy though.” Applejack smiled. “ So who's this un?”
Shining and Rahs trotted across the ditch on a magic shield that formed a bridge.
“Oh, this is Shining Armor my older brother.” Twilight offered. “He's in town for the weekend.”
“Heck then, welcome tah Ponyville. Spect you'll survive over tha weekend, least til Pinkie Pie spots yah. Then yah might wanna have yer blood sugar checked.” Applejack laughed.
“Well, we already met her. “ Shining smiled.” She was going on about her tail twitching.”
Applejack gasped before diving underneath the apple cart behind her.
The group looked at her curiously before Twilight grumbled.
“Woof.” Rahs placated.
“It did not already come true because there was nothing to come true, that was not a prediction!” Twilight snapped at Rahs.
“Well there has to be some correlation. Two twitches and two things falling.” Shining smirked.
“Don't tell me you believe this hooey!”Twilight grumbled.
“It may seem odd , but those of us who've been in Ponyville awhile have learned that If Pinkie's a twitchen, yah better listen.” Applejack nodded sagely.
My ears are flopping my ears are flopping!!” Pinkie Pie shouted.
Applejack dove under the cart again as the other three looked around confused.
“What does that mean?” Shining asked.
“I hope you haven’t already had a bath this morning.” Pinkie Pie winced.
“A bath? This is getting more ridiculous as it goes on.......” Twilight began.
SPLOOSH
The pony and his cart galloping behind them sent a deluge of mud and muddy water over the trio, drenching Rahs, Twilight, and Shining Armor with muck.
The trio blinked slowly for a moment as the mud dripped down them.
“Why was there a puddle there!?!? It was dry a second ago.” Twilight ranted. “What was his problem there was a ditch right there he could have fallen into and he goes behind us at that speed? Where's a Guard? Some pony ticket him!!”
“I think I am reminded why I don't visit you guys that often.” Shining sighed as Rahs just whined as Twilight continued to rant.
“You sure letting Twilight use Pinkie Pie's bath was a good idea?” Shining Armor asked as the pair of them walked back towards Sugar Cube corner after returning to the tree house for a shower..
“Woof.” Rahs shrugged, his ears flicking, his brother regarding them curiously.
“Yeah I suppose you're right. Maybe Pinkie can explain that twitchie thing in a way she can understand. “Shining sighed.”We are going to be in for a long weekend otherwise.”
“Bork.” Rahs nodded with a smirk, his ears moving in Guard cant.
“She still uses all the hot water huh? Well the more things change....” Shining smirked as well as the pair of them entered Sugar Cube Corner.
“So anything of note I should know about that she's not going to tell me?” Shining asked taking a seat at a table to wait for his sister.
Rahs considered a moment before grinning and moving his ears in a rather complicated pattern.
Shining followed it for a moment before a frown appeared on his face, quickly deepening.
“ Well seems there's at least one pony then I really need to meet.” Shining nearly growled. “ So who is this Big Mac guy?”
The conversation might have continued had a sudden scream not drawn their attention. The Moon Dog and the Guard Captain where off like a shot, rushing up the stairs to the source of the scream. Shining Armor took the lead and burst in to the bathroom where the scream came from. Twilight was perched on the edge of a tub covered in soap suds and a small alligator was viciously biting Pinkie Pie.
Both mares whipped their heads towards the door as it broke open, Twilight’s still soapy hair swinging around and slapping over her face. Twilight screamed out at the intrusion and the soap getting in her eyes, not able to see who broke in and Pinkie screamed along because she could.
Shining blinked in confusion yelping and ducking a few magically flung projectiles only to get caught in the face by a expertly thrown alligator and sent tumbling back out of the room and down the stairs with a crash.
“Woof.” Rahs stated peering around from the corner of the door.
" Spike does have good ideas doesn't he?" Pinkie chimed up answering Rahs.
“Rahs? What?” Twilight demanded wiping the soap from her eyes. “ Was that...... oh no....”
“That was fun. Can we throw more things?” Pinkie smirked.
“Medic.” Shining called from the bottom of the stairs, the unfazed alligator gnawing on his horn..
Hey, Shiny! Gummy likes you.
So Shining is deathly afraid of Attractive Women, and ends up engaged/married to the most beautiful mare in all of Equestria.
Sounds legit. :D
scout down XD
I have a premonition that Shining end up saying "Okay, Mac you are one strong stallion. Want to try your chance at the Guard? (and I could keep you away from my little Twily that way)".

My money's on a conversation entirely in grunts and eyebrow motions.
I get the distinct feeling Shining will not leave Ponyville anytime soon. He might take it upon himself (assuming Princess Luna doesn’t order him) to move to Ponyville and lead a detachment of royal guards to protect Prince Rahs from the dangerous creatures of the Everfree Forest… like a certain 4 headed hydra. 😉
And gosh, Princess Cadance will have to move too, for she can hardly abandon her boyfriend at his time of need…
And of course Celestia and Luna need their private therapist close at hand, so perhaps some remodeling of the Castle of the two Pony Sisters is required for overnight visits…
One thing is certain, Twilight is going to need more ice cream!
I've had this story in my read later list for a while now. In this past week or so, I actually started reading it. Now I am smacking myself for not following it sooner. Loving it, loving the connected story, loving the attention to detail, loving it all.
This is going to be a very fun episode
I understand that you're taking liberties, but her ears were flopping.
Okay this was a lot of fun, and i love the expertly thrown Gummy
8828274
I know Shining is expert in Guard Cant, but can he really hold a candle to Ponyville's eyebrow-raising expert family?
That's ironic.
8828159
He's not engaged! Cadence is... uh... his therapist!
Slayers magic, what more? Starlight using the Giga Slave?
8828274 8828624
Picture Shining teaching Big Mac guard cant, then a conversation between Rath’s ears and Big Mac’s eyebrows as Pinkie has one of her Doozies.
8828730 Well now, I did not expect him to have a fear like that, but I wouldn’t put it out of character for Cadence to “help” him conquer his fears.
8828748 It would be cool to have a bonus chapter where Rahs and Big Mac “talk”.
8828159
Twilight said Cadence is helping him get over it.
8828471
Thank you
8828510
Good point.
8828730
They're very close......
8828748
So much flopping.
8828787
It was used as more of a joke but Rahs remembers when Shining first started to date Cadence and was terrified all the time of screwing up.
8828874
Fluttershy: Has anyone seen Mr. Archimedes.
Shining coughs out a feather.
8828930
YES XD Scout Shining and Medic Shy
8829042
Rahs is the Heavy with Spike as Pyro.
Given. We have maud too. I just put pinkie snsense as earth pony magic of sorts
good chapter. nothing much to say here...good job!
Miiiight need a stimpack for that one
Well, I suppose they do have one of those now, but I don't think that's how it works.
By the way, that unphased should be unfazed. God knows I also think it sounds like that shouldn't be a word, but somehow, it is.

Dragon Slave is a reference to the anime 'The Slayers' and that spell is the main character's, Lina Inverse, favorite spell to use
8866069
Oh, I know, I was just rolling with the joke.
Waaait...Dragon Slave?
You mean that... near-nuke level spell that Lina Inverse tosses as almost every large bad guy/monster?
And Sweetie managed that!? Okay... very scared now..
What, do you mean to tell me that the Ragna Blade and Giga Slave don't count... also there would be a crater there if she cast the Dragon Slave
8933019
Those were less memorable for the joke than a Dragon Slave. Also it was only a small one that wasn't aimed at anything.
8828159
*dies, again*
second most powerfull, the forbiden art giga slave is the strongest...course useing it requires stealling a fragment of hte essence of a dark god and absolute control and focus to prevent it from anialiating all creation.

It's debatable. In the Slayers Universe, Black Magic comes from Shabranigdu and his Mazoku, as he is the dark god of that world. Holy Magic comes from Ceipheed and his dragons. Of course, there is a higher lord, The Lord of Nightmares, who created all worlds. She powers the Giga Slave and the Ragna Blade spells. So if you were to be strict on the definition of Black Magic, then the most powerful pure Black Magic spell available is the Dragon Slave, but it's not the most powerful or destructive spell that can be cast, but hardly anyone anyone else in the Slayers universe has the magic reserves to pull off Chaos Magic, so the point may be moot.
*looks up word*

what does that make cadence then?
The more they stay the same. Still kicking butt and playing video games. Driving everyone nuts. This future's pretty insane. Fast Forward. Get outta my way! Fast Forward. It's so not yesterday. Fast Forward. It's the only way to play! Fast Forward. Guess we're here to stay. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Fast Forward! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Fast Forward!
Poor Shining... But Ponyville prepares him for the Crystal City i guess...
Me:.....?
*looks it up*
*snrk*
Okay, that's a good one.
That got me to rofl
Pretty sure Shining don't fear pretty females but what they can do to him... Especially the Alicorn ones...

Stubborn
CMC on steroids
Rahs is afraid of beautiful woman? Caligynephobia is strange. Unless there is a Amber Heard equivalent in Equestria?
