There’s nothing better than a weekend, a time when you can relax and unwind in the solitude of a dock with nothing to think of but your fishing pole and earthworms for bait.

And pegasi.

So very many pegasi.

You're quite correct, Biscuit...there is much more to fishing, and the time spent doing it, than just the catching of fish.

You go to the local restaurant for dinner because, of course, you gave away all your fish. As you sit down, the waitress smiles at you. "Order whatever you want, hun. Your meal's already paid for." You order the fish special and it tastes even more delicious than usual.

Yeah, this is better. I don't even like to eat fish, to tell the truth.

Somebody is never going to have to worry about the weather ever again.

Pegasai, waddaya gonna do? Flappy-ponies be weird sometimes, you'll go months thinking that they're just like regular people, only shorter and colorful, and then one day you find somepony ravaging your birdfeeder.

You push a rock aside and find a few worms in very sort order

The question is, who paid for it? The chef, waitress, manager... or random mare who's attracted to a stallion that can provide for the entire flock.

He stretches forward and bumps you lightly with his head;

Behold the flying catpone recognizing his tribe's human's right of petting :pinkiecrazy:

All of the above plus Rarity too :rainbowlaugh:

I forgot that Pegasuses are birbs. Cute

They even ate your sandwiches.

That does it. Time to use the pegasi as bait for the fish.

...No, wait, they'd probably like that.

Give a man a fish & you feed him for a day
Teach a man to fish & he will annoy his wife -FOREVER!

They might have feathers for brains, but they sure do know where to get some grub... And how to get it without paying.

They even ate your sandwiches

But that raises the question, what happened to the beer?

Man, I really want to go fishing now

I was absolutely getting "Mine?" seagull vibes from the story. :)

Loved this one-shot - even brought a smile into my face with its humor and the images it brought forth!:pinkiehappy:

Have a like!:raritywink:

And if you talk about fish to a hungry Pegasus you'll end up with a raincloud shoved down your chimney.

Hey, I know the lil pony in the picture! Hi, Lightning Blitz! He's Scoot's kid, from the Motherly Scootaloo tumblr comic. Good stuff, same author as Silent Ponyville.

Now THIS is why the older cans & bottles are better than the new stuff.
You couldn't just open them without a "church key"

Sometimes you remember when there weren’t ponies in your life, when whatever you caught would get fried up and eaten later but this is better.

Isn’t it?

If it’s dock fish, please. Take it all.

A lone, alabaster Pegasus with grey wings steals himself behind you. Of course, due to your average hearing, you don't notice him. You do, however, notice when a low breath finds its way crawling down your neck; slowly, you turn and face the new arrival.

His eyes go from the fish, twitching in your hand, to meeting yours. "MINE! MINE! MINE!"

Out of seemingly nowhere, more alabaster-grey Pegasi fly downward to your area on the dock, all screeching the same word as they stare at the same fish, now dead. "MINE! MINE! MINE!"

. . . . .

The ensued battle depraved a man of his dock. And his favourite fisher's hat.

:heart:
I mean, :heart::heart::heart:

Gosh, this was weapons-grade adorable. Just what i needed.
Pegasi are like seagulls, minus the screaming and evil yellow eye stare.
Also, in the future, even in the most severe thunderstorms, there will be a circular opening in the clouds just above the dock. With just a light breeze and a few rays of sunshine.

What can I say? You are the consummate master of “slice of life with Ponies!”

Heck, if there were a wide river flowing through town, you might try building a raft.

No, no, no, that's a Georg story.

Somewhere out there is surely a clumsy pegasus, one who would make you question if they all deserve wings, but you haven’t encountered such a pony yet.

:derpyderp2: "Deserve is a strong word, monkey boy. Do you deserve thumbs?"

In any case, another lovely little slice of life in Equestria. Ponies still speak of the Fisher Prince...

You're quite correct, Biscuit...there is much more to fishing, and the time spent doing it, than just the catching of fish.

It's not a sport I personally participate in, 'cause I've got plenty of other stuff to do in my free time (not to mention that I've learned fish are smarter than I am), but I totally get the appeal of sitting on a boat or a dock and enjoying nature.

You go to the local restaurant for dinner because, of course, you gave away all your fish. As you sit down, the waitress smiles at you. "Order whatever you want, hun. Your meal's already paid for." You order the fish special and it tastes even more delicious than usual.

I could totally see that happening. Do nice things for pegasi, and they'll do nice things for you.

9704557
I've never been a fan, either. And I'm no good at fishing; it turns out the fish are smarter than I am. But spending time on the lake is nice.

9704588
I know, right? That's almost a superpower, when you think about it:

"Man, I wish I had a cloud for shade."
A moment later, pegasi push one over.

9704648

Pegasai, waddaya gonna do? Flappy-ponies be weird sometimes, you'll go months thinking that they're just like regular people, only shorter and colorful, and then one day you find somepony ravaging your birdfeeder.

Or, as some birdpones call them, "snack tubes."

You gotta watch out with birdbaths, too.

Corrections made; thank you!

Now this was good. Theres a word for the feeling this inspires yet I cant recall what it is. But its a good thing.

Warm fuzziness?

Those pegasus' are like pigeons

Yes, they are. Or seagulls, for those of us who live near the water.

9704657

The question is, who paid for it? The chef, waitress, manager... or random mare who's attracted to a stallion that can provide for the entire flock.

I like the idea of a pegasus mare being attracted to a human who knows how to fish (especially if the pegasi can't for whatever reason). Depending on circumstances food security is a good motivation.

Other possibilities would be all the fillies and colts pooled their allowance, or one of the young pegasi is a daughter or son of somepony who works at the restaurant.

Behold the flying catpone recognizing his tribe's human's right of petting :pinkiecrazy:

As well they should.

I forgot that Pegasuses are birbs. Cute

They totally are.

9704716

That does it. Time to use the pegasi as bait for the fish.

Aww, how you could be that mad at them? They're adorable.

...No, wait, they'd probably like that.

Heh, they might.

9704721

Give a man a fish & you feed him for a day
Teach a man to fish & he will annoy his wife -FOREVER!

Build a man a fire, and you'll keep him warm for a day.
Set a man on fire, and you'll keep him warm for the rest of his life. :rainbowlaugh:

They might have feathers for brains, but they sure do know where to get some grub... And how to get it without paying.

Smart birbponies are smart. They know how to get what they want.

9704741

But that raises the question, what happened to the beer?

They left that for him, because they might be greedy, but they aren't rude.

9704786

Man, I really want to go fishing now

Do eet!

9704820
Oh, I love those. First one with Thunderlane and Flitter was inspirational in another story I wrote.

9704831

I was absolutely getting "Mine?" seagull vibes from the story. :)

As well you should have. :heart:

Hopefully, said chimney is an actual chimney and not a euphemism.

9705334

What euphemism? Disappointed hungry ponies equals non-toasty damp human.

9705336
That's what I assumed you meant, but I also envision a pegasus shoving a cloud where the sun don't shine...

although you do occasionally give little twitches to the pole to reassure any fish who might be curious about why there’s a worm where a worm has no right to be.
Whether that improves the results or not, you don’t really know. You’d be more suspicious of a bowl of Lucky Charms if it jerked around to get your attention.

:rainbowlaugh::eeyup:

You can visualize a fish seeing it, considering it dinner, striking, being reeled in . . . and you can visualise that when your turn with your scaly prize, there’ll be a pegasus sitting on the nearest pile. Just one, because you only have one fish.
And of course you’ll give it the fish.
Maybe you could toss it up in the air, that would be something to see.

This was hilariously entertaining and very fluffy.
Great work. :heart:

Old fishermen never die. They just smell that way.

Yup!
