Walk on the Wild Side
"People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest."
- Herman Hesse
“Are you ok?”
Dr. Stitch groaned as Celestia helped him to his feet. “Never better,” he grumbled sarcastically. “Best assault I’ve ever had.”
“How could this have happened?” Applejack asked. The moment the hospital staff had been alerted to Twilight’s escape Luna had sent the magical call to her guards to bring back the bearers and the Sparkle family. Night Light and Velvet had rushed to make sure Shining Armor was ok while everypony else had gone out to try and find the missing unicorn. Applejack, Fluttershy and Princess Celestia had stayed to care for the nurses and doctors and find out just what had happened.
The story that was being painted for them was not a pretty one.
“Dark magic,” Celestia said, her horn glowing as she purged the remains of the shadow spell from the operating theater. “How did Twilight manage to awaken? I was told she was heavily sedated.”
“She was,” one of the nurses said, using her magic to hold a cold compress against her forehead. “We were at 88% cleansing when one of the white magic containers became infected. Must have had a bleed through.”
Celestia, however, did not accept that answer. “No… at that high of a level of white magic concentration the dark magic would have been unable to leave Twilight, let alone get into the white magic to taint it.” The princess began to sweep her horn about, murmuring incantations as she worked. “Something...”
“Princess, what’s wrong? Ya know where Twilight went?” Applejack asked. The sight of the scattered medical equipment and knocked out ponies had left the earth pony shivering; it just wasn’t natural to see magical destruction like that.
Celestia wished she could tell them yes. She wished she could gather the two scared girls close to her and tell them that everything would be ok. But Luna had been right: now was not the time for lies, even if they were kinder. No, now was the time for the truth, as harsh as it might be. It was only through honesty that they would have a chance to fix any of this.
“No, I don’t,” Celestia said softly. Fluttershy sniffed, tears in her eyes as she tried to help one of the nurses up. “My guards are scouring Canterlot, as are Princess Luna, Cadence and the rest of your friends.” She failed to mention that she had tried to convince Cadence to rest and let others perform the search but the pink alicorn had reminded her aunt that Twilight, angry and not thinking clearly, would not want to see any of her friends or family. It would only make things worse and what she needed now was to see new faces, ones that hadn’t shown her frustration and distrust when the unicorn had been at her lowest. Luna had agreed and given stern warnings to the girls that they were to not approach Twilight if they found her and not leave the guards that were escorting them for a moment. “They will find her.”
The mares nodded. They had didn’t have a reason not to trust the princess. She had always been truthful with them.
‘Just like Twilight,’ Applejack thought as she looked upon the ruined operating theater, ‘and you certainly trusted her, didn’t you?’
Applejack squeezed her eyes shut. Like all living things, the earth pony had regrets. They danced about her brain, taunting her: allowing her pride to lead her to poisoning half of Ponyville while the rest was trampled by bunnies; allowing Discord to trick her so easily, turning her into a lying fool that would rather fib than save her friends; running away from her friends and family just because she hadn’t won a single blue ribbon; her refusal to simply walk away having nearly cost her family their farm…
But the regret that weighed most heavily upon her was her treatment of Twilight. She remembered the crestfallen look of the unicorn when they had walked out on her after the dress rehearsal, none of them speaking up on her behalf. Was it not months earlier that she, along with the rest of Twilight’s friends, had stood up against Princess Celestia and offered themselves to be punished instead of Twilight?
‘Of course, you wouldn’t have had to do that if you had taken her worries seriously,’ her mind whispered. ‘You saw she was in pain and you did nothing to help her. All the rest of you were cured of Discord’s spell by her love but she had to break free by herself. To you it was like a horrible dream but Twilight had to do it all by herself. She was hurting and mentally fragile and what was your response? You laughed and ignored her.’
Applejack felt sick to her stomach. The room suddenly felt way to small and sweat began to drip down her brow.
‘How prideful, how vain… you laugh at Rarity for trying to appear so grand and noble but you commit the same sins as her: a boastful pony that refuses to admit to needing help. What was it you said after the Twilight saved you from the Flim Flam brothers? ‘I didn’t learn anythin’!’. Well, that much is clear: you didn’t learn that your pride causes you to hurt your friends and family. Honesty only works when it is convenient for you.’ The voice grew stronger and Applejack fought back tears. ‘You don’t deserve to be Twilight Sparkles friend!’
Applejack felt like she was drowning in a sea of guilt.
‘But it isn’t all your fault,’ the voice in her head whispered soothingly, growing tender like a mother comforting a crying foal. ‘You weren’t always this way. You weren’t always so mean-spirited and cruel. It is the others… trying to please the princesses… ignoring your roots and-‘
Brilliant white light flared out around Applejack, sending her to her knees. She trembled, blinking away the spots that danced about her eyes… and found Princess Celestia and Fluttershy staring at her in concern.
“Applejack? Are you…ok?”
“What… what are ya talkin’ about, Fluttershy?” The farmer shook her head. “Sorry, was daydreamin’.”
“You weren’t daydreaming,” Celestia said sternly. “You have been unresponsive for 10 minutes.”
“No… it was only-“
Fluttershy looked away from her, shoulders slumped. Applejack looked down and realized that Fluttershy was shaking in terror. “Y-you’re eyes went b-b-black.”
“Th-they did?” Applejack stammered.
Celestia nodded, her expression stern. “We have been trying to wake you for several minutes. Fluttershy peeled back your eye and found dark magic swirling in your irises. I used my own magic to counteract the effects… I am thankful it worked.”
Applejack suddenly felt very tired. It was like she had spent the entire day applebucking without a break. “I… I was thinking about Twilight. About how I treated her and how bad I’ve been ta her. And I just felt so sad and upset… and angry at myself. I… I was getting mad at all of ya.” Applejack gave Fluttershy an apologetic smile. “Not you, Fluttershy. Well… maybe a little… but I was getting more mad at you, Princess.”
Celestia looked about the room, as if expecting Twilight to come bursting through the wall with a manic grin and a knife clutched between her hooves. “We need to leave here, now.” She quickly ushered the doctors and nurses towards the door. “I don’t want any pony in here until I give the order.”
“What…. what is wrong, Princess?” Fluttershy asked.
“We weren’t alone in that room, my little ponies.” Celestia felt herself shudder. Out of fear or disgust she couldn’t be sure. “Something else was with us, influencing Applejack.”
“But… but I thought you got rid of the black magic,” Fluttershy whispered.
“I did,” Celestia said, staring at the operating room like it was torture chamber. “There is not a drop of black magic in that room. Something… something was in there though, influencing Applejack… and that is what scares me.”
“Ya think that’s what happened ta Twilight?” Applejack asked, a weak smile blossoming on her lips. “Maybe she don’t really hate us! Maybe something is makin’ her feel that way!”
“I don’t know, Applejack. All that matters is finding my faithful student… before she does something worse.”
As they walked away, none of them noticed a mirror shift… and a ghostly laugh play along the air.
~MC~MC~MC~
Twilight threw her head back, eyes shut and a smile gracing her lips as she bobbed and weaved in time with the music. She had, of course, heard rap music before; mostly at Pinkie Parties when the pink mare had sprung for a DJ. But while she had heard it she had never FELT it: the deep base making her pulse race; the strum of the electric guitar buzzing along her nerves like she had been hit by a bolt of lightning; the fast pace lyrics that were whirled around her and spoke of things she had never thought about before and yet had felt her entire life.
Celestia had always played classical music and before that her parents had favored the more subdued slow songs while her brother had locked himself in his room and listened to soft rock. Twilight had enjoyed them but this… this glorious music seemed to call to her. These were her songs and she made a mental note to buy a few records before she went back to Ponyville.
All around her on the dance floor mares and stallions ground against one another, getting lost in the beat. She had always scoffed at the thought of going to a club like this, preferring the quiet of the library to the loud booming music that was sure to render her half-deaf after only a few hours on the dance floor. But as she sensually swayed to every note she found herself cursing the fact that she had waited so long to come. She felt eyes watched her as she flipped her mane about and swayed her flank…and couldn't care less. Heck, she enjoyed the stares; at least these stallions (and a few mares!) saw her as an adult and not a child. Why hadn’t she done this before?
‘That’s because it wasn’t expected of me,’ Twilight thought. ‘Little Twiley would never go to a club like this, let alone Princess Celestia’s ‘faithful student’.’
The song came to an end and Twilight made her way through the crowd, deciding she wanted a drink.
“Hey Twilight!” Spike called out, waving at her from the corner table he had procured for them. Twilight flashed him a smile and took a seat, panting a bit. “You look like you’re having fun!”
“ ‘Look’ nothing, I am having fun! No, a blast! I am having a blast!” Twilight said with a laugh, throwing back her head and let out a yelp of joy, several other mares and stallions joining her. Twilight chuckled and used her magic to bring the cherry soda Spike had ordered her to her greedy mouth. She noticed that her friend/assistant grimaced slightly as the sight of the black glow that surrounded the drink but pushed any worry aside. Spike would just have to learn to get use to her new powers; there was no way she was giving them up and it wasn’t like she was hurting anypony (well, at the club, at least). “I wish I could go back in time and tell Past-Twilight to get the stick out of her butt and have some fun!”
Spike chuckled, sucking on a ruby. “Yeah, this place is great. Moondancer told me about it a few years ago.”
Twilight nodded, watching as the DJ (who wasn’t as talented as Vinyl Scratch but served well enough for the club) spun a record on her hoof before slamming it down, switching up the tempo on the dance floor. “Seems like a place Moonie would go to,” Twilight said with a giggle. “Wish I’d taken her up on her offer back then when she invited me to come with her.”
“Why didn’t you?” Spike asked, finally giving into temptation and biting off a bit of the ruby he was sampling.
“Wouldn’t have been proper,” Twilight said, using a Canterlot accent. She swirled her soda with a swizzle stick before continuing. “I was Pr…Celestia’s star pupil. That meant I had to act like her, all prim and proper. All the headaches, none of the power.” Twilight took a sip of her drink. “What a pain in the flank.” She leaned back in her chair, looking at the ceiling. “Then we moved to Ponyville and I never had a chance to go to a club like this. I mean, even if Ponyville had a dance club, could you see any of my f-the girls going?”
Spike considered her words. “Fluttershy would be hiding in the bathroom, Pinkie would be pouting because no pony wanted to play any party games, Rainbow Dash would hate dancing so close to everypony, Applejack would want them to put on some country-“
“-and Rarity would be complaining about the décor,” Twilight said, knowing her assistant would never bad mouth his crush.
Spike looked down, running his claw along the table, using a droplet of water to draw abstract shapes upon the hardwood. “Twilight… do you really hate all our friends?”
She had known that question was coming and had been dreading it. She knew that Spike, ever the loyal friend, would want to get her and the girls back together… but she just couldn’t see that happening; not with how things were left between them. Their betrayal still stung and Twilight couldn’t look at them without remembering how they had abandoned her in favor of the changeling queen. Even after all that had happened… it still hurt.
“Spike…” Twilight let out a long sigh. “I don’t know. I don’t like them all that much right now but… but hate isn’t the right word for what I’m feeling at the moment. I think I burned out all my hatred taking on the changelings. I mean, when I was fighting her I hated everypony… even you. But once I got it out it felt so good.” She smiled, trying to ease the fear that flashed through the baby dragon’s eyes. “As strange as it sounds, it was cleansing. I’ve repressed a lot of stuff and embracing,” her horn flashed black, “my darkness has helped me out a lot. I feel like I woke up from a dream.” She tapped her chin. “But me and the girls? I honestly don’t know. I kinda want to just be Twilight, you know? Not ‘Twilight-and-the-girls’ or ‘Twilight-pupil-of-Celestia’. Finally got a taste of being my own pony and I’m not interested in going back anytime soon.” She placed a hoof over his hand. “But hey, why would I need them? I have you! You and me against the world.”
“I don’t want to be against the world, Twilight,” Spike said nervously. He suddenly had the mental image of Twilight dressed as Nightmare Moon and him in wicked battle armor, laughing as Equestria was overrun by demons.
“It’s just a saying, Spike. I don’t hate the world. I just… don’t like some of the ponies in it.”
“But what if they came to you and asked for forgiveness?” Spike asked, pressing on. “Would you forgive them then?”
“That’s the thing, Spike; I don’t think they are going to.” Twilight took another sip of her drink. “And even if they did, they’d be apologizing for the wrong reasons. So why worry about something that is never going to happen?”
“What do you-“
“Twilight?”
The unicorn turned, staring at the alicorn that had entered the club. A myriad of emotions flashed across her features as she rose up, staring at the new arrival.
“Cadence,” Twilight whispered as she stared at her old foalsitter.

As always, my thanks to my pre-reader Akmentop.
This chapter begins what I call 'Act 2'. Twilight has fueled up on dark magic and now it is time for her to explore. It is also time to explore what is going on... there are players in this story that have been featured since the beginning that no one has noticed and now is the time for them to begin making their presence know.
Twilight in the club is an important character moment, in my opinion, and not just what she says about her friends. She is enjoying herself without going overboard: she isn't looking for sex, she isn't causing a fight, she isn't even drinking! But she is experiencing things she's never tried before... things she BELIEVES her friends and family would have never let her do.
As always, any mistakes please let me know.
“Dark magic,” Celestia said, her horn glowing as she purged the remains of the shadow spell from the operating theater. “How did Twilight managed to awaken? I was told she was heavily sedated.”
It should be , "How did Twilight manage to awaken?" Otherwise, this is looking really great. Good job and keep going!
Behold the Brother-fucker!
*Grins* This promises to be interesting. I hope to fuck Cadence doesn't try to use her mystical love powers on Twilight. That...could get ugly. Fast.
More, soon!
Cheers
GM
well, this will be interesting... dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Twilight_Sparkle_lolface.png
I see where you are going with this... and I must say I am impressed
Also, this kinda reminds me of Paragon/Renegade Choices of Mass Effect (guess Mass Effect and MLP have one thing in common... the ends justifies the means)
But me in the girls? I think that should be and
…and could care less. Should be couldn't
Minor errors aside, this is currently the story I most look forward to. Keep up the good work.
well, this is going to go down hill fast isnt it?
not that their is any thing wrong with that
Ooh cadence..... Shits gonna get real!
So, is stuff about to get really bad?
I figured since the Changeling Queen was posing as Cadence, but Twilight knew that wasn't Cadence, that Twilight would have no reason to be angry at her. The only way I see her becoming upset with Cadence is if Cadence tries to use her love powers on Twilight. So for Cadence's sake, she better not try to force anything on Twilight or things are going to get ugly really fast! Another brilliant chapter, and I find it interesting that whatever is causing Twilight to act this way (other than the pain and hurt) actually seems like it's own entity. Things are going to get very interesting indeed. Can't wait for the next chapter and until then, see ya later!
- Super-Brony12
This could either go very well, seeing as Twilight has no logical reason to hate the real Cadence, or very bad, considering Twilight isn't really in a logical mood right now.
Cadence oh shit RUN AND HIDE TWILIGHT'S GONNA BLOW *runs to panic bunker and locks self in*
I haven't read this story in a while and I see that it has updated three times since i read it last. Todays going to be a good day
I have actually been wondering whether the voice in Twilight's head was actually Twilight's thoughts, or some dark outside influence (perhaps Discord, but not necessarily). I refuse to pass judgement one way or the other as of yet, but I will say that the scene with Applejack in the operating theater and the something in the mirror does give me more speculation fuel.
You've got an amazing output speed, with a new chapter every other day. And since I'm also following the Scootaloo fic, I get your writing literally every day! I don't think I've ever followed another writer with that level of speed.
It hurts to see Twily like this...-sniff-
She is my favorite pony after all...
But still, aside from that, this update is as great as always.
^ and loving it \m/
dark-fic or not , things are going for the better .... which only means shit will get serious
-another well done chapter, some spelling/grammar mistakes , but most have been probably pointed out
Cheers~
Very intriguing.
Awaiting further releases.
Also, I am glad she has calmed down. Otherwise my Tuwiritu would make me heartbroken.
I liked this. It's definitely showing Twilight just cutting loose and not caring anymore, while at the same time still reminding us that it's not just her that's caused all of this. How would she have known certain black magic spells? And now something tried to snatch Applejack as well... Quite creepy, especially if it makes even Celestia freak out a bit.
All in all, pretty neat. I really hope to see more.
So now Twilight may have been corrupted by something else, not that it changes anything of course.
And as for Cadence well I have no idea how Twilight will react but I'm not taking any chances, Cadence whatever you do, do not I repeat DO NOT use your love powers on Twilight or else you'll push Twilight further down the pathway to darkness.
(Or in other words "Don't do it. Don't use your love magic. DO NOT use your love mag-"
)
"You used your love magic?!"
The oldest tactic of battle
Eliminate the weak enemy first
Holy freaking crap! God this chapter was so good, just as much as could have been expected, and more. Dude, you're headed in the perfect direction, this story is coming along great. BUT I STILL NEED MOAR!!! I don't even know how you do it. Its coming along so nicely. I really can't wait for chapter 7.....zomg the wait is going to be so hard.....but damn, these are good chapters, so don't you dare rush lol, keep them all like this.
It'll be interesting to see who else Twilight is able to corrupt with the Dark Magic in her. I wonder when the other entity in her mind will be fully revealed.
this is going to be bad. lease tell me twilight still cares about innocent bystanders?
Oh this fic just got SO much more interesting.
Mydrid.
It's myriad.
Just before Cadance's name is mentioned.
Oh my gosh this story is so awesome!!
Totally awesome~
I just abslutely love the whole idea about it - I mean, at the Canterlot Wedding, I always did feel that Twilight forgave everyone too quickly, and blamed herself too much.
And the chapters are all so hooking!! You've got me dying to know what will happen next!
Then there's also dark magic~
I'm kinda hoping that Nightmare Moon is the one corrupting Twilight~ *major Luna fan* But I'm most likely wrong!
Anyways, I totally can't wait for more, so keep up the outstandingly amazing work!
HHHHHHAAAAAAUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You added Deceit (Element of Lies and dark half of Applejack) to the story and you did not even relize it....how bad ass...was disappointed that Spike and Twilight did not drink though, if anything and Spike is not acting as evil as I thought he woud, now I'm sad....damn. Hopefully he embaces his darkness with Twilight and slaughters those he cares about....including Rarity
Also, Candence meeting with Twilight? SHIT IS GOING TO GET REAL, I REPEAT, SHIT IS GOING TO GET BUCKING REAL, WE ARE ALL BUCKED!!!!! And Twilight with hip-hop music, I love it! Add more please, maybe even give her some headphones so she can listin to it more?
Im liking this...a lot....the insanity, it pleases me xD
1353902
I always love the idea that it is scarier to NOT see what happens than to see. It is worse to force you guys to visualize what Twilight is saying than it would be for me to write it.
Oooo, I definitely like this story
(or for a crazy new power that once tamed does more good than bad
)
I do like the idea that a Dark story doesn't necessarily have to have evil (at least at this point).
There's plenty of books and manga and stories I've read where one has to embrace their 'darkness' rather than suppress. Sure, sometimes the change Isn't for the best or they end up consumed by it, but usually it works out positively enough in the end
Anti-heroes
Cadence better play her cards right, or she'll end up on the wrong side of the fence.
She should be in the clear, being a victim of the changlings as well, but if she tries the spell...
Well, if it fails and she goes all 'it's for the best'...Not exactly the way to try that arguement
This story is magnificent so far. I absolutely love it! I love how real it's getting, I love how it's going down a different path than having Chrysalis make the stupidest choice ever and, after witnessing all of Twilight's friends and loved ones turn on her, go to her and reveal she really is an evil, wicked Changeling and that Twilight was right instead of letting her burn in her own guilt and sorrow and rejection. Seriously, am I the only one that screamed 'Chrysalis, you IDIOT!' when she did that?
Keep it going, but at the same time, with Twilight somewhat mellowed out and in a good mood now, don't have Cadance do something supremely stupid here. Please? Have Twilight going down the road to recovery....unless this ghostly apparition really is Nightmare Moon influencing her or some other unseen creature. I would hope that at least Cadance could reach Twilight on a more personal level, gain her trust and friendship, she IS the Princess of Love after all, and she IS the only one that didn't totally screw Twilight over and has likely treated Twilight very, very well her entire life, especially during her childhood.
it's the marker that is influencing two. Soon there will be necromorphs and all sorts of good times!
Seriously though, another great chapter. It's good to see how well you are portraying twilight as experiencings new things and not just being insane. At one point I was a bit concerned that you would just male her nuts, but you have done a marvelous job assuaging that concern.
I. Eagerly anticipate the upcoming confrontation. It could either go neutral or astonishingly catastrophic. I wonder which it will be
1354096
There have been a few stories I read where Chrysalis actually decided to use the girls' reactions to get Twilight on her side... one I remember even had even her shocked they would react that way (there, any emotion is food for a changeling and Chrysalis was expecting some girls to help twilight and start a major civil war... not for all of them to abandon her).
All i will say about Twilight's mellow mood is that recovery is like pushing over a Coke Machine...you can't do it in one shove. You have to rock it back and forth.
I can't wait for the next update!!!!
Party on Twiley, party on.
I wonder why Cadance thought to come visit that club though. Maybe she knew that Twilight would 'hide' where nopony thought she'd ever go or something.
You know, when you really think about it, Twilight has some terrible friends, doesn't she? I mean, if they were MY friends, I'd have ditched them long ago.
This is one of the few ongoing stories that I look forward to reading each and every time it is updated!
I like the cut of your jib, defenderr222, I really do.
More for the love of ponies, MOAR.
No but seriously, I am hooked to this story, and can't wait for the next update.
1354373 Twilight is my favorite pony. But she is not so innocent about what has happened between them ether. An example is when Pinkie came to her about Gilda. Twilight bushed off her concerns and said that she was probably only jealous about how much time she is spending with Rainbow Dash.
Nice chapter, as always.
Had a scare there when I got Herman Hesse mixed up with Rudolph Hesse
So... possible Dark Influence that...
makes Twilight's dancing not suck? Maybe she just needed more self confidence
The thing about a cluster-buck is that something bad happens, and then ponies make decisions they never would in their right minds - because they AREN'T in their right minds, they're in a panic.
Pretty sure I know how this next part will go pear-shaped, so I'm really hooping to be disappointed - because it'll break my heart the other way... oh, right, 'Dark Tag'
Either way I'm hooked
1354529 And it was perfectly reasonable to assume that at the time. And, to debunk some of the other examples you might have, yes, she overreacted with the whole friendship report thing, yes, her friends were being reasonable to brush her off with the whole Cadence-is-a-changeling thing. In fact, the moral seemed to be 'It's okay to make wild accusations without evidence as long as you're right in the end'. Of course, she was also the only one aside from Applebloom who trusted Zecora, until she had evidence that she had done something wrong. She also didn't waste her time with Trixie until some idiot kids got an Ursa Minor to attack the town.
Also, and this is entirely unrelated, but have you ever noticed that the sides of pencil boxes are the same width as the spine of a DVD?
I enjoyed this chapter very much. It is nice to see characters not going "I'm evil now I'll slaughter everyone mwahahaha" stuff for once. Just a burst here and here (against Chrysalis, then in the hospital), tempered with calm and quieter scenes is a good way to make wonderful stories. I'm also wondering what happened to the changelings? maybe they recovered a bit and Celestia allowed them to walk away and leave Equestria without fuss after what they went through... anyway I am really enthralled to see where this is going. Will Twilight accept her friends and family again and be
again, or will she go into 
, or will she be jaded with a blank gaze towards them?
Surprised no one else caught this, but 'mydrid' isn't a real word. The word you search for is 'myriad'.
scranton.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/img/mlfw2012-shit_just_got_srs.jpg
oh, shit.
1354598 i like to think jaded, it makes way for a waaaaaay new level of Twi-badassery.
I like new-Twi kinda hope she stays this way.
I have bad fellings about that, I mean, all of her friends and Celestia and even Twilight family hurted her, but Luna and Cadence was not there.
Yet when Celestia, Luna and Cadence were in one room, Cadence was defending Celestia and for some reasons I got impression that Cadence was blamming Twilight for making others worry.
I have a bad fellings is that Cadence may be more angry than sorry for Twilight, and this talk may end terrible ( all there is need now is for Cadence to join in Twilight bad list ).
Anyway here comes the heavy love guns, ofcourse Twilight will ressist tham and her anger and dissapointment will just increase, I personaly hope that Cadence will at last try to talk and see Twilight point of view instead of going " I will cure you from your anger and dark powers so you wont hurt any more ponies with your black magic ", hehe, I just got the impression that Cadence is not on Twilight side at all.
1356314
Cadence and Luna represent the two different types of "Friends Caught in the Middle"
Cadence is trying to support all sides and talk them up. Luna, on the other hand, thinks both sides are WRONG and want them to realize that.
1352363
Really? I thought there was only one ending. The only alternate ending of Sunset I ever saw was made by a different author, and even then the writing style didn't flow with the original very well, in my opinion.
1353266
"Now let's see... What else would nopony have ever let me do before that I want to do now? Ah! Spike, give me that napkin, I need to make a checklist! Okay, what first? Aha! I know! Eat a pint of ice cream for breakfast! Have to try that one tomorrow. Wait, we don't have any ice cream right now... day after tomorrow then. What else? Oh! Enchant a flying carpet! I have ALWAYS wanted a flying carpet! Don't have a carpet though, just a throw rug, and a flying throw rug just isn't the same... Note to self: Buy a carpet. OOH! Prank Rarity! I'm going to totally charm her drama couch with a trampoline spell! Next time she gets all over the top, she'll flip, literally! Ooh, you are such a naughty, naughty filly Twilight... (giggle)"
"This is so weird..."
1354132
Wait what? What story was this? Do you remember the name?
Dat metaphor about rocking a coke machine, brilliant! I'm seriously going to have to use dat one sometime. Just got done re-reading all the chapters cuz i was bored, and i wanted all the content to still be fresh whenever the next chapter comes out....i cant wait, the story has gotten so good, want moar so bad
