Celestia had always wondered if there had been another way to deal with Nightmare Moon besides banishment. When Twilight freed Luna from her curse, Celestia had her answer. Since then, she has had researchers working on her apology to Luna: a way to make sure that such an event can never happen again.

A few days ago, they completed their research. Today, she unveils her plan to blow up the moon.


Inspired by a Mr Show skit.

Some more Mr. Show inspired silliness, along the same lines as One Thousand Years Ago. Bit of brain cleaning after completing Tales of Tiara: Scrooged for the most part. Can watch the skit I based it on here.

For those unfamiliar with Mr. Show with Bob and Dave, it was a skit based comedy show on HBO starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross. Its cast included Jack Black and Sarah Silverman. Ran for 4 seasons in the late 1990s.

Chapter title comes from this song by Star One, a song about the Sean Connery movie Outland.

... What in the hay did I just read?....
It was nicely written and entertaining though, good job!
no Fluttershy? why no Fluttershy?!! :flutterrage:

Somebody has to link this story to everyone that tries to revive "To the moon" jokes.

"Quick, get me Bruce Willis, Steve Buscemi, and Aerosmith!":trollestia:

Overall, good way to kill a few minutes.

The result of investing myself heavily in another fic and needing to unwind. And so a bit haphazardly written fic with a silly premise and all the ponies acting crazy, with a minor bit of trolling thrown in, not meant to be taken seriously. All based around the idea from a skit. Happy that it entertained, yay.

As to Fluttershy, she was in the outline, but didn't make it to being written. She was against blowing up the moon because she feared the explosion would scare the animals. Couldn't really come up with anything funny for her that fit nicely into the (lack of) narrative though, and I think that, as a character, she needs a bit more space/words than the likes of Pinkie or Dash. So between those two things, she got cut.

And then they all starved to death.

"Whinney-Haymon-Taj" <---- I see what you did there, lol. :raritywink:

"Rhyme Hater invented the Orangification spell" <---- This looks like a joke, but I don't get it. :fluttershysad:

You have earned a new stalker. :yay:

There's two words in English that often get mentioned as not having rhymes: orange and silver. Usually comes up for Zecora related jokes when it comes to MLP. And since Twilight was practicing turning things into oranges at the start of Too Many Pinkies...

And thanks :)

I don't even...*laughs

I liked the story, but disliked the ending, just to let you know. It didn't really satisfy me. :fluttershysad:

I reviewed your story tonight you can find it here

5522900 Cool. Glad you enjoyed it. Oh, and don't worry about those tidal waves. It's about time those slacking unicorns had something to do again instead of leeching on everypony else. Why not tide (and tidal wave) control? :pinkiecrazy:

Dat Futurama reference.
