Twilight Gets a Puppy

Do Piranha Dream of Magic Squid?
Epilogue
[Ponyville, Golden Oaks library, later that night. ]
“SNNNNRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK!!” Rahs snored, draped over the couch. The blue moon dog having face planted onto it the moment they got home.
Princes Luna, Twilight, Spike, Shining Armor, the Sparkle parents, and all the mane six, save Rarity, who had run home screaming about a shower, were sitting at the kitchen table sparing glances at Rahs as he snored.
Luna sat back having explained what happened to the three siblings.
“I can't believe I slept through all that.” Spike muttered.
“I can't believe we manifested a nightmare like that.” Shining Armor added.
“Ah can't believe Rahs gained another portfolio, for witch-wolves.” Applejack frowned.
“I can't believe all those cute moon dogs were showing their bellies and I didn't get to pet any of them.” Fluttershy pouted.
“I can't believe he turned down all those chances to make me some grand pups.” Twilight Velvet also pouted.
“I can't believe you're still on about that.” Nightlight sighed.
“I can't believe it's not butter.” Pinkie Pie stated.
“I can't believe that his dreams portfolio, means 'dreams as food'.” Twilight grumbled. “Though to tell the truth I'm not that surprised either.”
“SNOOOOOOOOOORRRRRE.” Rahs added to the conversation.
“Plus that was the weirdest way to bow i've ever seen.” Night Light pointed out.
“Oh that's a instinctual show of submission by most canid creatures. Bearing their throats and belly leaves them vulnerable and shows they are submissive to the one they are showing.” Fluttershy offered.
“Kinky.” Rainbow Dash chimed in.
“Yes, well, moving on.” Luna sighed. “Still at the very least that incident has brought you three back into the dream world. We were able to reach your dreams while you were unconscious, though Rahs still remains inaccessible.”
“I'm still not sure what happened?” Spike muttered.
“The nightmares and dreams you three have been having since Twilight pulled Rahs from the Oneiroi built up without anything to feed on them and when you were brought to the Oneiroi the connection was reestablished and that tantabus got out. It also absorbed the three of you and was feeding off your powers. Due to the connection Rahs, was bleeding off the power that the tantabus was using which given you three are, a god, a demi god, and a highly skilled unicorn respectively, it was much like he had been gnawing on Discord again. Though perhaps a bit more than that given the state of the transformation.”
“What about his going ballistic like he did, last time he did anything like that was with the foal nappers when he was a puppy.” Nightlight added.
“And with that witch wolf in the Crystal Empire.” Shining pointed out.
“And with Discord.” Twilight added.
“And sorta with Chrysalis.” Spike commented, “Though he got pretty sick there before doing much.”
“Don't forget PETA.” Fluttershy commented.
“That was less a going ballistic and just being mad, Twilight went ballistic then though.” Pinkie Pie corrected.
“In those events it was to protect his siblings. That does seem to be an instinctual bond he has.” Luna nodded. “In the Oneiroi, however there was that bond as well as being presented a ancestral enemy. The very reason we created the moon dogs, that it was tied to you three simply made that instinct stronger and he was able to rip and tear until it was done.”
“So ah got a question.” Applejack offered.” If he's tha god of witch wolves now, doesn't that mean that he's only got me? Well half of me, tah take up that portfolio.”
“Haaahpewwwwwwwwwwwww” Rahs snored.
“One soul does not a portfolio make.” Luna frowned. “Which is why we shall not be bringing this up to Iinii or Tia as it likely means there are more witch wolves out there some where.”
“Or the powers 'Whats Iz' are prepping him for having lots of puppies!” Pinkie Pie suggested.
“I do like her theory.” Twilight Velvet offered pointing at Pinkie. “Spike's still to young, Twilight's a virgin and clearly somethings wrong with Shiny. He's got two mares and can't put a foal in either of them, seriously dear go see a doctor.”
Shining narrowed his eyes at his mother.
“Wha.. what, I'm not a virgin!”Twilight sputtered.
“Wait? You've been having the sex?” Twilight Velvet gasped.
“Please don't say it like that.” Twilight muttered.
“And no grand foals? Is he sterile like your brother here!?” Twilight Velvet demanded.
“Mom I'm not sterile.....” Shining grumbled.
“Seriously, I had Cadence as a foal sitter and sex ed teacher.” Twilight shuddered.”Do you not think she taught me some contraceptive spells..... okay a lot of them?”
“Twilight dear Cadence already has a foal. One older than you.” Twilight Velvet pointed out.
“To be fair, Cadence wasn't the one who got pregnant.” Nightlight offered.
“I don't think I'm old enough to be hearing this conversation.” Spike grumbled.
“Spike... we do not think WE are old enough to be hearing this conversation.” Luna mumbled.
“SNRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK!!” Rahs slept on.
[ Carousel Boutique ]
Rarity sighed stepping out of the shower humming to herself as she started toweling off her mane and coat before quickly wrapping her tail and mane up in a pair of towels. She then trotted over to her vanity and levitated a number of hair driers up to start her work on looking fabulous again.
“Ah that is much better, and none of that awful goop seemed to stain either, delightful.” Rarity hummed as she worked.
As she dried off, she failed to notice that along the back of her neck just at the roots of her purple mane was a black spot that seemed to sink into her hairline.
oh great, nightmare rarity...i think
...so we're getting a Nightmare Rarity arc too?
I can't believe he's even bothering to try and pretend to be asleep
It's possible that the Timber wolves also count... sort of
Also if there are more Witch wolves out there then they have managed to go unoticed for centuries which implies that they have calmed down a lot
Maybe not, but you got to wonder how you don't have a foal or five on the way with how... enthusiastic your wife and concubine/mistress(?) is
Are you still trying
So, Nightmare Rarity is gonna be a thing

I... don't think so. There are no Nightmares or parasitic powers in this story. Luna's whole Nightmare Moon phase was her being mind controlled initially, and later sticking it out once she was freed. I suppose one could argue that was probably a split personality brought on by the mind control revealing real emotions, but I digress.
That said, TDR has come up with creative ways to include things in his story that you at first don't think is possible, so... I lay even odds one way or the other on Nightmare Rarity. In fact...
50/50 Odds of Nightmare Rarity.
30/70 Odds of Witch Wolf Rarity.
20/80 Odds of Moon Dog Rarity.
10/90 Odds of Non-Nightmare Possession.
10/90 Odds of Other.
When in Rome... or Ponyville, as the case may be.
Hm, I wonder if this will lead to a rewritten version of "Inspiration Manifestation", or another Rarity episode? Mind you, since this is only Season 4, while "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep" was season 5 in the series...
10124040
I'll put my bits on a Rarity Nightmare/Tantabus hybrid.
And here nightmare Rarity hook up.
Maybe theres going to be a combination of Nightmarity, Inspiration Manifestation, Spike Want, and Pepe Le Pew?
Of course, that's the only thing on your mind Velvet.
A sign of corruption? Wait... Nightmare Moon was a corrupted form of Luna and she was Solomon's wife. Then we have his son recently took up a residence in Rarity's place... Hmmm
Really? Night-Marity?
Called it! (No I didn't!)
HEAVY METAL INTENSIFIES
Foreshadowing
I for one don’t see Rarity’s eventual transformation into Nightmare Rarity as something to worry about for a couple of reasons.
1) She is Rarity. More to the point she is a business mare. And the official ambassador to the Diamond Dog pack surrounding Ponyville. She wouldn’t be where she is today if she let little things like nightmares get in her way.
If anything, she’s mastered them… oh that could be fun!
2) The reason she became a villainess in the first place was because of very … “contrived” reasoning involving exterior influence by the nightmare forces whose. And those forces role of watching over the dreams of Equestria have been replaced by the Moon Dogs. So the nightmare forces aren’t an issue.
3) Her new coat and physical appearance will be a perfect match for her house tenant. If anything this might help speed along Sombra’s reformation.
4) The confusion her initial transformation is going to cause is going to be hysterical. And most likely result in a betting pool (assuming one hasn’t started already) for what the remaining Mane 6 will transform into. A pool which Bon Bon will win on the behalf of Lyra.

She would do it anyway since she could color pallet swap on demand, thus more fashion.
10124148
I know right?! So ready for Animal Crossing.
Haha thanks for bringing up the point nearly all of the moondogs wanted him at that point
Possibilities there, not much or many but enough
10124251
You missed the rest of the sentence. Which is where I stated it wouldn’t be a problem.
I see her transformation coming. It’s just not going to be an Equestria Ending problem like it was in the comics.
Now as for who is next on the transformation block: we have Fluttershy becoming a Vampire Pony in the episode Bats.
The question is what will Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash become before the story is finished.
10124281
Don't forget the musical number by the resident drama moondog god now if he don't do something along the lines of singing or a dramatic thing it would be a shame though
Wait if the link stems from rahas to the others or something then wouldn't he and twilight being god's in there own mean at some random point shining and spike will become god's as well and I wonder when rahas who can now control his witch form (thanks to his portfolio) does that mean the sparkles also have a more powerful dark side form now
Hmm. Since the nightmare forces don't technically exist in this universe (or if they do, they aren't powerful or numerous enough to be considered a threat), I can't see Nightmare Rarity being a thing in this story; especially since Nightmare Moon was a corruption of Luna at Solomon's hooves.
That being said, I'm curious as to how being infected by a Tantabus will affect things. I don't recall the specifics of how Witch-Wolves, Juggernauts, and Dreadnoughts were created, but something tells me this played a part.
Rip and Tear untill it is done?... Rip and...tear? RIP AND TEAR! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! * tears the world apart killing billions* hehe, oops?
Oh god Velvet, Calm Down, You'll be a freakin Grandma next season. Though I weep for Rahs and Twilight after that considering she'll be annoying them even more.
Have a "t," TDR. Not sure if there are more errors, but this one stands out.
Thanks

Id love to see Crusader design and build an Equestrian Mark 42 System class Harmony chassis.
Powered by CAOS.
It can have the OFC because the Mane now have the Rainbow of Light?
At least Dash wouldnt be able to blow its stage lights out with mere Jammin.
10124306
I have a feeling Rahs will attempt to go full “Phantom of the Opera” once he realizes what happened to Fluttershy.
Before that, Applejack singing her ballad to “Stop the Bats” is clearly her latest attempt to woo Rahs. And since Twilight is betting on AJ to win, of she’s more than happy to help.
10124397
Ok if that's gonna happen I can imaging as there signing the others interested showing up with there patrons as they watch and during a moment some gets a broken branch to the face (points at celestia)
10124403
Looney Tunes shenanigans featuring Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Chrysalis trying to sabotage Twilight’s efforts to help AJ win the bet—I mean Rahs’s heart?
Shenanigans which may or may not result in Fluttershy becoming Flutterbat?
Sign me up!
10124456
True also I'm pretty sure someone's gonna end that fight impaled with something (though if it's twilight or rahas that would be utterly hilarious)
REALLY
10124251
yes i can see her doing this.
Wow, right to a very short epilogue.. could still have used a bit of wrap up or fun times in the dream realm after that.
Huh.... well then. Wait, isn't having a recognized god one of the steps to being declared a full race and not an abomination? Though, given there only seems to be a total of one Witch Wolf still around... unless you count all the Timber-Wolves... Also, say hi to your new god AJ.
WHAT!? Okay, story, get that 'Tragedy' tag up there RIGHT NOW!
Huh.... that... actually makes sense. Nice set up with all the talks about various gods trying to get food related portfolio's... very well done story.
I'd say 'damnit RD' but given this Fluttershy... yeah that's totally warranted.
And most of the damage and injuries prior to the rescue team getting there came from Angel or Henrietta.
RIP AND TEAR! RIP AND TEAR ITS GUTS! IT WAS HUGE, THAT MEANS IT HAD HUGE GUTS! RIP AND TEAR!
See the above point. Though, as noted, aren't all the Timber-wolves also displaced Witch Wolf souls? And since most Diamond Dogs are part Witch Wolf now, does he get some say over them?
Those are called 'shippers' Pinkie Pie.
.........................................................
okay then.... I have no idea how to respond to that.
Give it time, soon the Destroyer shall emerge!
Hey, at least her teaching is FULLY comprehensive, including the safety aspects!
Oh the joy of the Sparkles.
So, what will that be leading to......
Still, nice wrap up, if a bit quick, could have used one more chapter of wrap up it feels like.
Current theory on the Witch-Wolves is that they're like the werewolves from Underworld. Where they were far more feral in the past, with their evolved cousins showing up later. Witch-Wolves in this story do seem to fit the bill, as they were originally transformed Moondogs, who were more aggressive/brutal. I suspect if there are any, they'll be somewhere really remote, to avoid Celestia and the other gods.
10124307
His witch form only kicks in when he takes in a over load of magic
No no no no NO! Not again
10124948
I'll subscribe to this theory
Ohhh boy. Nothing ominous about that ending. Nothing at all.
10125103
So in other words teirks gonna be a chewtoy for him then actually that's gonna be interesting how would 2 beings able to consume magic fight it would be aarea of stalemate since anytime teirk changes his magic to take magic rahas can bote servering the connection which could trigger his witch form
amazing story line.
10124096
That had occurred to me as well.
.......
Yeah, ok....
Oh dear quite a bit of things got revealed here. Hiding moon wolfs? Evil moles? Loud snoring? Goodness!
Here comes nighmarity
10333783
na she is just gonna go grey
I see this.
Nightmare Rarity? Maybe as a cruel joke.
10727336
Maybe as a cruel joke, or maybe as a powerup after a trial of some kind. AJ had one, maybe all the other girls will too.
DOOM 2016/ETERNAL
10743679
Do you want Pinkie to get a power-up? She’s terrifying already.
Doom
The end confuses me greatly...
Rarity get's a Dream Symbiotic?
