Twilight Gets a Puppy
Season 6
By TDR
No second Paarthunax
[Ponyville, early fall, one week after Rainbow Dash had a mental break down after finding out who Scootaloo's parents were. ]
Spike, Twilight, and Rahs all stood outside of Seshat looking up at the night sky.
The collection of Ponyville Guards who were also stationed in the other side of the massive crystal tree also stood outside and stared at the sky.
Tempest Shadow, Grubber, and Starlight also all stared at the sky.
An angry dramatic Raccoon, a half grown Phoenix chick and a long suffering owl also had their gaze turned skyward.
The rest of Ponyville took one look at the night sky then one look at those around the crystal tree who were also starring at the sky, and decided that this was none of their damn business and hoped it would go away.
Far above Seshat in the night sky was a gathered collection of stars in a formation that was far too clear to be any sort of constellation.
The glowing sparkling bits of light in the sky formed an arrow pointing down directly at Seshat with clear words above it reading, 'Dumb Dumbs live here'.
The lights in the sky were likely visible in the entire northern hemisphere of Equss.
Twilight was the first to speak.
"Well. Seems Luna has gotten involved finally." Twilight offered.
"At least it wasn't pies."
Spike nods in agreement with Rahs as everyone else outside who was staring up turned their attention to the Sparkles.
"Still." Twilight. "This cannot go unanswered."
"Of course not." Spike huffed." Plan delta?"
"No, if we bring in her phobia of snails, she might use sn... ss... Sna... snakes, or quesadillas or a snake quesadillas." Twilight shuddered. "I won't sink that low."
"Wuff." Rahs suggested.
Twilight and Spike both considered before nodding.
"That will work, and it's just as silly as this." Twilight agreed before the trio headed back inside
"Do I count for this? I mean since while i technically live here, i am also the here that they are living in?" Seshat asked to no one in particular.
"Is a deep hole in the ground as a prison still an option?" Starlight asked Tempest.
"I'll ask." Tempest frowned, glad she wasn't required to protect Twilight from any pranks.
[ The next Day, Ponyville, Lee-ho Foxes]
“Are you sure about this Tempest?” Starlight asked with a small frown. “I'm still getting some death glares from some of the towns ponies and half of them don't even know I did anything aside from annoy the Sparkles.”
“Honestly that's usually enough. If the Sparkles are annoyed at something, there's usually enough property damage that it becomes everyone's problem. Twilight is surprisingly non confrontational unless annoyed. “ Tempest explained. “ Rahs has a more even temperament, but when he's set off he tends to only let the one he's annoyed at know first and everyone else finds out by what's left of the one that annoyed him. With Spike unless he wants you to know it was him, you won't, and if he wants you to know, it usually involves the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I don't know enough about Shining Armor to give more information other than he comes down like a 'Hoof of god' if he gets pissed.”
“This does not fill me with confidence.” Starlight sighed.
“Ehh I've been living with them and studying them for a while, mostly so I could see the signs of when I needed to run. But anyway. You've been cooped up for too long and Twilight started to harp about you finding friends after that fiasco with Moon Dancer and her husband, so I figure I'll introduce you to the mare I met when I first got here.” Tempest shrugged. “She's not local so we only meet up for lunch every so often when she's in town. I will warn you she's a bit of an acquired taste, but I've enjoyed my time with her.... been a while since I've been able to say that.”
“I'm still getting over cutie marks, I didn't expect to be dumped into friendship lessons too.” Starlight grumbled.
“It's one of Twilight's portfolios, with her study habits and mind set coupled with that I'm surprised she isn't trying to make a... I dunno, school of friendship or some such garbage.” Tempest snorted. “In any event don't worry about the cutie mark thing, I don't care for mine and she's got talents that don't focus on hers. I just have a few words of advice.”
“Well lay it on me.” Starlight muttered.
“First off don't ask about her other talents, because she will show you and I don't want to fill out the paper work on why there is a new crater in town while the CMC are in school.” Tempest offered.
“Ooookay.” Starlight blinked.
“Secondly if she asks if you are interested in Fuzzy, she means Rahs. I would highly suggest saying no and giving a very detailed description of why not that doesn't insult him. Just telling her he terrifies you should be enough.” Tempest offered spotting the pale blue and white maned form of her unicorn friend already sitting at a table with a menu.
Trixie Lulumoon looked up and smiled, waving a hoof as Tempest and Starlight approach.
[ Much later]
“Alright sorry it took so long Tempest, but between all that's going on I've not had the time, so just hold still and we'll get a scan.” Twilight offered.
“Yeah between setting up the network and dealing with Pear I've had my hands.... hooves full.” Sunset added. “Still we cracked the familiar/ companion code, so we should be able to pull this off too.”
“I'm just here to add insight and take notes.” Starlight shrugged smirking a little as she considered how the meal with Trixie went, when she wasn't focused on Rahs she was rather fun.
“Okay this shouldn't take long. I'm going to check over your mana lines and see how the flow is going and Sunset is going to use blood magic to do her own scans. Don't worry about that Blood Magic is over hyped as dangerous.”
“No it's not.” Sunset grinned.
“Ignore her. With luck we'll have a working base to go from with these scans.” Twilight continued.
“Every unicorn, heck every pony has a different set up with their mana lines and even skeletal composition. With unicorns this is doubly true with horns, everything from spiral course, to length, to girth, to position on their head can effect it.” Sunset offered.” With how yours is broken we're going to have to do a false reconstruction to see how it's supposed to be. This is doubly confusing as your horn was broken when you were little and the damaged horn grew.”
“That in itself is surprising as your horn is still shattered instead of grown over like one would expect.” Twilight considered.” That's probably a small side effect of you still casting through it with the amount of mana you have. You don't have any limiters and you might very well have blown off bits of your horn when you let loose.”
“Great.” Tempest winced.
“Don't worry too much on that at least it means your mana channels are not damaged.” Sunset explained.
“Alright while Spike and Rahs are preparing for the retaliation against Luna, lets get this scan underway.” Twilight smiled.
Drem yol lok, I've been playing too much Skyrim lately, so I kinda squealed on the inside when seeing the title.
Ah so it looks like Tempest will be getting her horn back.
Luna's 'prank' is about as dumb as I was expecting. What will their revenge be?
Hmm short and to the point good chapter
11272642 Woopy cushion in her throne is my guess
as in being made a PART of her throne
I just read and comment every chapter season 1-6. Love the story ♡
That's what you get for moving in with the goddess of
booksfriendshipAll we need is Sunset and the R.U.M. can get underway.
ouch
Lunas prank is simpel, yet so strange that everyone want to know who is pointed at. I love it.
Simpel and yet complex...
Magnificent how Moonbutt prank with a lot of attention!
Twilight just need to enchant every single picture/painting/frame in the castle with a selective perception on them.
Basically, every time Pony A looks at a picture/painting object, the angle is 0.5% degrees off. But it accumilates every single time they look at it. BUT, each pony percieves it DIFFERENTLY Based on how many times they see the painting/picture. So Painting A, might look at 30.5% angle off center to Pony A, but to Pony B who doesn't come to the castle it's only off by a 11.0% angle. Since it's only off by a tiny bit, over a long period, they probably won't notice for a long, long, LONG time. ESPECIALLY when it's different for each pony, so they won't even be able to trust what others see, or themselves.
Love to see that Tempest hopes and dreams get taken seriously. Even if Twilight fails in Tempest lifetime, at LEAST she tries and don't just talk out of his ass like the Yeti God stoned head.

nah that ones too simple for them.
11272658

Given how big the night sky is I have no idea how you exactly point to a specific location on the ground. However the night sky works in puppy verse that is
11272687 Sometimes the simple can be the best and besides did Twilight not also do a permanent paint effect to a wall that was torn down to remove and it moved to a different wall until it the wall was replaced? Same situation but Woopy cushion in a throne
At least Twiight didnt use Shinings shield to encapsulate the whole of Canterlot in a gyrosphere of constant internal gravity.
That is, theres no physical discernable motion to the occupants, but depending on their mass distribution, the sphere rotates freely in all directions, and has to be brought into the correct origional place to get supplies through the gate, train, which changes the mass distribution?
Even just a hoofwidth float, but so the city always vibrates as occupants move, depending on their magic weight?

Simple pranks can be good too, personally I'm hoping they wrap her entire room and everything in it with something annoying- tinfoil, sticky notes, etc.
Then again, if they wanted to annoy the hell out of Celestia, just slip Luna some of Pinkie's coffee... Wait, she destroyed the coffee maker. Maybe get Twilight the idea to try to recreate it and use Luna as the test subject? Oh hell, going outside the boundaries of the prank war and straight into crimes against sleep, and I REALLY hope this happens at some point.
Hm, if Celestia is getting Luna involved, that's fair game for the Sparkles to try to recruit Discord. Also, enquire about the special loco honey Chrysalis used once...
Sounds about right
This is the part where you guys run
Its too late for you already
Tempest hasn't yet learnt not to tempt fate.
Yes, yes you do. Start plotting a revenge prank with the Sparkle Trio.
You're two seasons too early. Give her time.
Now I want to see Twilight practice Blood Magic.
11272796
Luna was involved from the beginning. It's the sisters versus the Sparkle Trio.
11272687
Depends on the plan of execution. If the final overall prank is to put a whoopie cushion on the sister's throne, it might be best to start off with something far more complex as a distraction.
example: The Sparkles send the entire royal guard on a well earned vacation and replaces them all with guard changelings.
Who aren't even disguised as ponies.
They are just wearing royal guard armor.
And yet, they spend the entire time acting like royal guards. It unnerves Princess Celestia.
To make matters worse, all the coffee, tea, and basically every single caffeinated beverage in Canterlot has been replaced with chocolate milk and cotton candy. Thus unnerving Princess Luna.
The two figure Chrysalis and Discord are up to something, figuring the prank war with the sparkles would be a "get out of Tartarus free" card. They summon both of them to the throne room, sit down on their thrones, and the cushions go off.
In front of Chrysalis and Discord. Abject humiliation complete.

Was she? I was under the impression that the war was solely with Celestia, and that this was escalation.
You know with the amount of sensual things going on, I'm surprised they're no clopfics or even mentions of them on this site. I guess this story will stay as clean as possible

Slowly crank up the caffeine content of the coffee over a period of time until Luna has adjusted to it... then swap it for decaf.
I actually pulled a variant of this myself at one place I worked where I ended up making the coffee for everyone (several pots a day) on top of my normal job, mostly as the coffee pot sat right next to me. I even ordered the Deathwish coffee myself to slowly swap it out... the day of
reckoningdecaf was brutal but hilarious (well to me) and no one expected me to make coffee anymore.11273166
Nah during the episode where Twi was sending groups back in time tempest worried about retaliation for helping and was informed only Luna,celestia and the three sparkles could be targets
11273228
I don't write clop and i'm trying to keep things .... at least PG-13
11272703
Ah! I was wondering about that.
11273262
I think Luna has already done the ramp up part. All you need is to switch her to decaf.
11273262
I don't drink coffee, but holy cow that goes past Saw level insanity there.
Acting against the Sparkles is really suicidal.
They are a force of nature by now...
Tempest must be like:
