Chapter 57
Alright! You know what isn't happening? This. This is not happening. At all.
You shove Twilight aside and put on your best fake smile. She frowns at you, clearly confused.
"Wow!" you shout as Twilight opens her mouth to speak. "Isn't that amazing, words showing up all on their own in this old book! I have to be going now!"
"No you don't. Rainbow fired you, remember?" Twilight explains cautiously. "Raindrops, this is a living book! I think you've actually given life to a copy of Amniomorphics!"
Woohoo.
"Twilight, can I talk to you for a second?" you ask, and she picks up on your tone.
"Uh, sure thing, Raindrops. Shall we go to the kitchen? let me just put an extra piece of paper in the book so we don't use it all up when I talk to Amniomorphics later. It'd also be really helpful to document everything we say to it....just give me a moment, alright?"
You slump into the kitchen while Twilight prepares her scholarly supplies. When you get there, Spike takes a look at you and without saying anything sits you down on a chair and slides a mug of hot cocoa into your hooves.
"Drink that," he instructs you, "and I'll make you a daisy sandwich. You look like you need a pick-me-up." He's competent and controlled around the kitchen, and the smell of the daisies is comforting. You feel absolutely wretched. After a moment, he slides a plate in front of you with a sandwich on that's been cut up into little triangles. He's even cut the crusts off.
You lift one of the sandwiches and start eating it. It's really, really good. Before you know it and without explanation, you start crying again; not big wet sobs or hysterical wailing, just a sudden onslaught of tears that you can't stop. After a second of hesitation, Spike reaches up and puts a reassuring claw on your shoulder, and you lean gratefully into it. He's a good guy, you decide.
"Raindrops? We really can talk about this, as soon as you're ready." Twilight's moved into the kitchen and sat down opposite you. Her voice is soft and gentle, and you really do feel like you can ask her anything. So what do you want to know first?

1964189 Echo, I had to make the call of either engaging with the fandom a little bit to keep things flowing and give me ideas, or writing the whole thing in secret without feedback and publishing it in one big glob. I thought it would be a little more fun to have people play along as I wrote it! As it stands, I think I made the right call- there's over 30,000 words already and a lot of people helping out with ideas for actions.
I can understand being frustrated with it not being finished, but isn't that true of every ongoing fic?
There is a difference with one of these. When it updates it is nearly impossible to know where the new chapters came from in the tree.
1964253 I hear you, and I wish there was something better I could do about that... actually, I might have an idea. Watch this space!

A link to the canonical previous chapter works. Honestly, I'm kind of reading it with a Groundhog Day scenario in mind in order to keep my sanity and not have to worry about all of the quantum states. After all, the only difference is that Raindrops doesn't keep memory of the different outcomes.
Sob away all your frustrations about your Winter Wrap Up foiled plans. Wonder how much you'll have to save for your newfound foal's future education in the process.
Reading just because that picture of Raindrops is adorable.
Ask Twilight if she can tell who put the book in your front lawn, or why somepony would do such a thing in the first place.
1964419 Ain't it just the bee's knees? I found it on a Raindrops tumblr and the artist was kind enough to let me use it
1964347>>1964253>>1964189 Alriiiight! I have just spent a couple of hours (this took seriously longer than I thought) adding "to go back a step" links at the bottom of every chapter. Now you can easily backtrack! You should still try and keep track of where you came from, though, because sometimes several similar pages can merge into the same choices. But still- backwards navigation is now possible! Hurrah!
Thank you for your feedback, because I wouldn't have bothered otherwise, I'll level with you.
1965009 Ooh, you have a Tumblr? Mind giving me your URL? I'd love to follow'ya
1965027 Hooray! Much appreciated, thanks.
1965201 aw, no, sorry! I mean I found a Raindrops tumblr, it's not mine. It's here: http://raindropsanswers.tumblr.com/
1965361 A bit disappointed, but I'll follow it anyway.
Ask Twilight what anyone would have to gain from making the book your baby.

I know right?
Actually it's possible I might have gone right past this story if not for the epic picture.
When I first saw Raindrops on the MLP:FiM wiki, I thought she was just another background pony that didn't have much of a fanon personality yet.
Clearly I was wrong; she has her own character tag.
