Blue_Thunder


The night is dark and full of terrors, but the fire burns them all away.

Several months have passed since Camp Everfree. Twilight and Timber see each other on occasion, Rarity and Fluttershy usually keep to their own. Pinkie's been super busy with helping the Cakes. Sunset has been writing to Princess Twilight in Equestria. Applejack has taken on more responsibility on the farm. Everyone spent their days separate from each other. Rainbow decided to try and change that with the purchase of a digital camcorder.

She sat down with one of her closest friends to discuss what she wants done with it.

Huh, this is definitely something she would do. Only now do I realize that I've never seen a story about them just mucking about with superpowers. Y'know, stuff like Rainbow playing both sides of a Ping-Pong game. Random stuff like that.

I think I'll enjoy this.

This reminds me of a movie. I don't know what it was called, but CinemaWins winned it a while back.

I love this reverse-scam, it's actually real, but they're putting work into 'faking" it. This is definitely one of the best ideas Rainbow's ever had.

Sunset could "ambush" her with a super soaker or something?

"Of course I did. You said it yourself. I said Trial Run, you said Natural Psychic, and for yours you said Physics Major. Movies almost always have the title of the movie in the movie itself. Roll credits, ding."

They have CinemaSins?

This is nothing like I expected...

Whihc is great, because what I expected was a mediocre story, not a story about Dash as an aspiring YouTuber.

Ypu talking about "now you see me"?

Liking this story.

I am insanely curious to see where this is going.

9348428
Somewhere Awesome, that's where its going!

"Timber asked us to set up a secret dinner for him and Twilight. He wants to make it special. But, since literally everyone else is busy with their own lives, it's just you and me."

"Well, I'm sorry. But it's not good enough." Rarity grabbed the cloth and gave it a solid pull. Easily... she knocked everything off, including the red solo cups. "That... went differently in my mind... All the same, I won't have my friend and her... other friend, have dinner with plasticware." She reset the cloth after Sunset cleared it off.

So sunset called them by their names, but rarity called them how rainbow told them to call them

9349816
Rainbow isn't telling them exactly what to say. Just giving them a prompt and letting the mind wing it. So long as the idea gets out there, Rainbow doesn't really care how it's said.

Y'ever consider getting a proofreader?

9354659
Was there somewhere I flubbed?

9354664

Several I'm afraid. The most notable one of Aj instead of AJ.

9354668
How do you mean? Aj is Applejack, right? One word? If it were Apple Jack, then I would.

Edit: Wait, has it ALWAYS been AJ? Why would they need both capitalized? I've always done lower j. You are the first to call me out on that.

9354677

Fair point, that's just how I've always seen it written.

9354679
Still a good story though, right?

9354683

Yes. But, a proofreader would be useful.

"I got it!" Rainbow nearly shouted. "I'll give Pinkie the starting details and see if she can work with them. Aj, you're alright to push, pull, lift, carry and bear 50+ pounds right?"

There is absolutely no way those enormous cannons weigh anywhere near 50 pounds

And yet, both Pinkie and Twilight had trouble sliding them across the floor in wooden boxes.

9354863
Well them being able to move them could just be chalked up to cartoon logic. But irl the lightest cannon I could find is 1800 pounds or 800 kilos.
And judging by the picture alone those cannons are definitely made of metal.

9354880
Okay, so it's not that I overestimated it, I low-balled it. That said, we've seen Aj bury a wooden steak far bigger than she is, and toss a massively boulder like it's nothing. I think carrying a cannon is wellness within her power.

9355046
I know but I'm just saying that you underestimated the weight of pinkie's cannons

9355082
Ah... I got you... Noted. And we'll call that Rainbow's underestimation, because I totally know better. <_< ... >_>

Be honest, how long did it take you to type out the first hundred digits of pi?

9355377
Since I did it from the youtube video, several minutes of pausing, tab flipping and typing. ^^;

Ooh, stuff is getting real.

Rarity and Fluttershy shook their heads. Twilight also waved her hand in rejection. "Anyone else? Pinkie?"

Twilight, Telekinesis is surprisingly strong. Ever seen Carrie?

9439967

While her power would be impressive, she canonically doesn't like showing off, and hasn't learned the difference between protecting and showboating yet.

9440065

I refer you to the latest EQG short.

9440067

It looks like the short you are referring to is after the whole "Memory Stone" thing with ... what's her name, during the yearbook part of the year. This, is closer to the middle of that year.

9441298

Wallflower. But I meant the one with Trixie.

9441301

Yeah. Her. Also, it should be worth mentioning that she does it when no one is watching her do it. They're watching Trixie.

"Giving up already?" a voice called to Applejack alone. "Come on, Applejack. I thought you were stronger than that."

A mysterious voice, hmm?

9448968

If you recognize the quote, it's one from Kingdom Hearts 1.

9449016
Sorry, never played any of the Kingdom Hearts games

ton't

Don’t

t.v.

Also, it may sound absurd, but remove the periods, and optionally you can capitalize both ‘T’ and ‘V’. You want the periods removed because televisions are often referred to as TVs, and if something is often referred to by its abbreviation, the abbreviation is basically a different word with no periods. The USA also functions like this.

It’s been so long that I forgot the plot. But this chapter’s pretty good, regardless.

Yeahh... Sorry about that...
Give it a reread? Gonna be working on the next chapter soon.

Reminds me of an old villain of Hawkeye's way back in the day. Champion or summat like that?

This, is getting boring honestly. Shade is kind of a Villain (?) Sue. He's displaying powers completely unlike anything in the show, he's never lost, he keeps having access to knowledge he should have no way of knowing, we still know next to nothing about who he is, what he wants or what his shtick is, and it's honestly more frustrating than anything else. To be perfectly honest, I think I preferred this when it was the girls showing off their powers.

This had better have a really good payoff, because so far it's played like "wish fulfillment" the superpower. I'll lay even odds that this is Discord faffing around for some dumb reason.

Decent fight tho.

I admit, it’s hard to keep it a secret and I’m sorry for doing it this way. Be glad: next chapter reveals exactly how he has this power, thanks to Princess Twilight and her power of reading scrolls.

You know, that picture doesn't make me think those are made of metal. They make me think plastic of some kind. Maybe there is metal reinforcing parts of them but not the whole thing.
