I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

While visiting Earth, Flurry Heart gets invited to a birthday party. Oops.

cute and funny

Nice touch with the differences in endurance between humans and ponies. Their sweat doesn't work like ours, after all.

A titmouse flew down from the piney woods, grabbed a beakful, and flitted off.

A nest made with alicorn hair? I'm pretty sure this is how several dread artifacts got their start.

"Pegasi are electrical hazards."

Heh. Now I'm imagining a pegasus relaxing on top off a computer and causing all kinds of issues due to electromagnetic interference.

Brilliant work all around. At this rate, Flurry Heart's going to become a banned substance. It's a shame that all the Flurry Heart slots for Imposing Sovereigns are already filled.

Oh God grief when they clean out the ball pit... Assuming the balls didn't all melt into a single mass. And yes Cristine will remember her 7th birthday till she's old and grey! And being Flurry's nanny certainly prepares him for any chaos the students as Friendship School could cause. Though the students will always know when he watched her as the Vice-Head Stallion always has injuries after ward.

Good thing they gave Christine a bag full of gemstones. Her mom could probably sell them and have enough to cover the damages (or at least a large portion of it). Pretty sure that Flurry won't be allowed back ever again after all the damage she's caused, even if not intentional.

I figured she had accidentally eaten an pineapple like she would a normal apple, or that it would be something like a noodle accident, not... what it was which I will keep spoiler free.

And speaking of "noodle incident"...

Well, at least the kids had fun for the most part, and none of them really seem to be made at Flurry for what happened.

I love cute Ponies on Earth stories, and this is a great example of having fun with the idea.

Awww.... that's adorable :twilightblush:

Now I'm imagining a pegasus relaxing on top off a computer and causing all kinds of issues due to electromagnetic interference.

I've encountered motherboard series that one could reboot just by rubbing butt against chair and touching front panel with USB ports (and that effect was surprisingly robustly repeatable). So for a pony just having fur may be enough. Electronics engineering is magic!

God, I miss Discovery Zone. I hear Trampoline Parks are the next-best thing, but I'd just feel awkward going to one of those unless I got my swimsuit body from when I was 20 back first. Maybe just the arcade, but American arcades these days are just plain kiddy. But then again, they're selling Mortal Kombat trilogy mini-cabinets at Costco and parents are watching as kids bang the buttons on the demo units like it's nothing. No moral-panic "think of the children" hand-wringing to be seen. I guess things have come full-circle. I might actually buy one of those, but reviews say they're rather flimsy and you can build a MAME cabinet for half the price.

Also, I approve of Twilight's poetry tastes. I used to read from The Silmarillion to my niece.

I build computers give me the mane of that motherboard!!!
ps does it matter the type of the ram or the HDD

9862565
Well, that was like 11 years ago in university in different city and that hardware was pretty old even then, so...
Although I don't understand what do you want to do with it exactly. That wasn't some cool feature, that was most likely motherboard or USB controller engineers not following ESD protection guides properly. The actually surprising/funny thing was that nothing was letting magic smoke out or even corrupting data. If you want to emulate that effect, much better solution would be to use ready-available sensor module and short reset button pins with optocoupler.

ok sure my computer is old enough, It already 'blew up' once man that screeching noise the power distribution box made was loud

Adorable and hilarious!

A great story, I like the character development between Flash and Sunburst.

Even better than I expected it to be. Glad I read it. I wonder how long Wall Street would survive once Flim and Flam spend their last bit crawling into New York.

I actually can relate to Flurry when she realizes what the Earth Veggies are. I'm vegetarian, and I once ordered a Cesar Salad not knowing what Anchovies were. I only found out later, and I was DISGUSTED!

P.S. I wonder how much it will cost to fix everything.

9865220
Because the cows can talk.


9865346
Thanks! What I was going for TBH.

Dan

It's bad enough hardly any pizza places offer anchovies anymore, why do none of them offer garum for crust-dipping?

This wasn't at a pizza place; it was at some dedicated small restaurant on the coast.

I actually eat my pizza crust first so I finish with the good part.

9865606
TBH?

I see alicorns don't lose their powers after surges. Much to would-be-caretakers regrets. And you can't even ban them from Earth, because diplomatic immunity...

9961886
Diplomatic immunity is probably the only thing saving Flurry!

9961890
Well even without, what can they do - arrest a seven-year-old?

Good gravy, does Flurry barf fire or does she have crazy strong stomach acid? I hope Sunburst got his sugarcube.

It cost Sunburst $28 to buy Flurry two pairs of socks at the front counter.

I don't know what bit that made me wheeze way more than it should have XD

That was stupendously fun XD I love it XD

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed.

I'm so happy for Flurry that despite the wanton destruction, she still got new friends :twilightsmile:

Flurry bit her lip, glanced at the ball pit, and then trotted off, following the human children. "I don't needta potty no more."

oh

Is the noodle incident a Calvin and Hobbes reference?

But this was a great fic. Really funny. I like the interactions between Flurry and the kids, and the whole pizza thing especially.

10280012
Thanks! And yes, "noodle incident" has become a trope. I appreciate it.

The kids all wore superhero party hats. Christine's hat was Wonder Woman, Caleb's was Batman, Thomas's The Hulk, and the little alicorn wore a red-and-black Deadpool hat.

I can't believe, until you pointed it out, I didn't see or realise this.

I have no words. That's just- whatsit- that's just clever. Hats off to you (pun intended).

Red and black hat on an alicorn

The fandom is collectively fed up with red and black alicorns.

but the Cone of Shame

Don't be eating when you hit this part. It does not end well.

Fantastic story :)

"Hey! My gun is broke!"
"Nuh-uh," said the boy, "when you get tagged your gun doesn't work for fifteen seconds."
"Oh," Flurry said, and blasted him with her horn.

OH HE DEAD!

10540910
Not really. All the events happened to me, with Sunburst as self-insert; I just replaced my kid with Flurry, and then exaggerated into silliness.

10541194
Yeah it sounded a little too real

This is really good.

People seem far more forgiving on this Earth. Also, Sunburst is taking the animal treatment quite well...

At home that night, Flurry curled up in a recliner and watched Dinosaur Train on PBS.

Twilight: Hmm, Tiny's voice reminds me of Sweetie Belle's when she was younger.

Yessssssss! Someone finally got my allusion!

You've made a real fun story here.
Flurry Heart's is adorable and like her child like behavior, yes I know that she is a child, balanced with her powers. What I mean is that it's like if Flurry was real I could see these things happening.
The funny situation, all round. Cute and memorable.
