“I’m not saying it’s a bad idea, Pinkie,” Twilight assured the pink perpetually peppy party pony, putting a hoof on her withers, “I’m just saying that Trixie’s probably not going to be in the mood for a party right after waking up. Just hold off until she’s strong enough.”
Pinkie Pie put a hoof to her mouth in thought, before smiling and nodding fervently. “That’s okay!” the Element of Laughter declared. “It’ll give me more time to set-up!”
Twilight returned the smile, thankful she had diffused the situation. The two were in Sugarcube Corner, where Pinkie was watching the front counter while the Cakes baked up a storm of fresh pastries for the eager citizens of Ponyville – today was even colder than yesterday, and everypony, even those lucky enough to own magically-warming scarves or cloaks or the like, were hoping to get their hooves on the food while it was still hot and fresh.
“Maybe try and keep it low-key, too, even after she gets better,” Twilight advised.
Pinkie Pie nodded, even as Twilight finished paying for the four muffins she was buying, two of which were gem-encrusted and for Spike. “Quiet party. Not my favorite kind, but still better than no party at all! Ooh, I can’t wait for Trixie to get better now! I wasn’t able to give her a party the first time she came to town, and the second time she was being all mean ‘cause of the Amulet. But the third time’s a charm!”
Twilight just chuckled as she took her bag of muffins in her telekinetic grasp, waved goodbye to Pinkie, and went back out into Ponyville.
It was the day after Trixie had been found in Applejack’s front yard, and already Ponyville was gossiping up a storm. The citizenry of the farming town seemed to require and live off of gossip at least as much as food and water, with word spreading quickly and ponies trying to figure out what this meant. A few mentioned that they had heard that the Great and Powerful Trixie had put on a show Hoofington, one of the towns near Ponyville. Apparently, she had gone back to wandering the land as a stage magician, but if the gossip was anything to go by, she had cleaned up her act immensely, and crowds of ponies were once more flocking to her in droves.
It was all-around good news, basically, and helped put Twilight’s mind at ease, at least a little, as she had worried that Trixie had returned to Ponyville having been unable to return to her previous profession. Though it did raise an interesting question – where was her cart? Surely she had acquired another mobile stage…what had happened to it?
Her thoughts were interrupted as she passed by the spa, and saw Rarity and Fluttershy emerging. The Elements of Generosity and Kindness, respectively, the two had started going on mutual spa trips not long after the incident with Nightmare Moon that had brought Twilight and her closest friends together in the first place. On spotting Twilight, Rarity let out a slight gasp, and rushed over to her even as she was careful to not get any snow or mud on her freshly-hooficured hooves.
“Twilight,” she said when she was close. “Is it true? Is Trixie really at Sweet Apple Acres?”
Twilight nodded. “Doctor Stable thinks that she was struck by lightning, and then overchanneled,” she explained. Rarity let out a gasp of worry at that, and Twilight had to hold up her hooves to calm her down. “She’s fine. In fact the doctor thinks that she might wake up today or tomorrow.”
Rarity put a hoof to her chest at that, breathing out a sigh. “Well, that is a relief,” she said. “Trixie may not be the most agreeable of ponies, but I would hate to think that anything bad should happen to her, even after what she put us all through.”
Fluttershy nodded at that, though she frowned. “Struck by lightning?” she asked. “But…there wasn’t any lightning in the snow storm…and Cloudsdale makes sure that no lightning cloud has lightning strong enough to seriously hurt somepony, anyway…”
Twilight shrugged, out of a lack of knowing the answer rather than a lack of care. “We’ll just have to ask her when she wakes up,” she said. “I don’t know if I’ll be there, though…I need to get my home cleaned up for Princess Celestia – gah!” Twilight’s eyes widened at her own words. “Oh no, I completely forgot! Princess Celestia is coming to town tomorrow! I’m sorry, girls, I have to go!”
She didn’t wait for a goodbye as she rushed off. She had, of course, remembered to start cleaning when she had finally made her way home yesterday, and had been doing more of the same all this morning, but with Trixie and her condition on her mind, she had only been putting in a half-hearted effort, she knew, her mind not really on the task. What if she’d skipped something in the checklist? Would there be anything worse than having made her bed only to realize she hadn’t cleaned her bed sheets yet?
Well, yes, of course there was. Princess Celestia might show up early.
“Gah!” Twilight cried, galloping faster.

Earth pony magic was a potent, if subtle, force, allowing the farming ponies of Equestria to rapidly grow multiple harvests throughout the year, making Equestria the single largest exporter of food on the entire continent by an order of magnitude. Even the most powerful earth pony magic, however, couldn’t make apple trees bloom in the middle of winter. This meant that Applejack, and indeed the entire Apple clan, typically had little to do during the shorter days of the cold season, at least compared to their normal workload.
Thus, Applejack was sitting in her room, keeping an eye on Trixie while she caught up on her almanac for the coming year, when a long, pained groan came from somewhere beneath the covers that Trixie had unconsciously buried herself under.
Applejack set her almanac aside and was on her hooves in an instant, as Trixie slowly poked her head out from beneath the sheets and comforters, eyes glassy and unfocused as she gazed out Applejack’s bedroom window, blinking a few times.
“Trixie?” Applejack asked, trotting around to the other side of her bed and waving a hoof in front of her charge’s eyes. “You okay, surgarcube?”
Trixie was silent for several long moments, her eyes gradually coming into focus. She tried to lift her head, but failed. “Headache,” she croaked, her throat sounding dry as a bone left out in the Mild West desert.
Applejack supposed the headache made sense, given that Doctor Stable was certain Trixie had been struck in the horn by lightning. She’d anticipated Trixie’s dry throat, too, and went over to her nightstand, where a jug of water and an empty glass was already waiting. She poured out a glass and set a straw in it before holding it forward to the injured unicorn. “Alright, now, drink up,” she instructed.
Trixie didn’t need any encouragement, lips closing around the straw and draining the glass’ contents in just a few moments. Applejack poured out a second glass, but before offering it to Trixie, she grabbed one of the vials of ether that the doctor had left behind and uncorked it. “Doc says we should get ya to drink these as often as possible,” she said.
Trixie obliged, taking a sip. She almost immediately started coughing at the taste, recoiling a moment, before looking at Applejack. “That’s…ether…?” she asked. Applejack nodded, and Trixie’s brow furrowed as she grabbed at the vial with her hooves, and drained it, wincing more at the taste but making sure to swallow the whole thing before going again for the water. When she’d washed the taste of the ether from her mouth, she looked again to Applejack. “O…over…overchanneled…?” she guessed.
Applejack nodded. “Doctor Stable got to ya in time, ‘fore that coma set in,” she explained. “Been ‘bout a day since we found ya.”
Trixie breathed out a long sigh of relief at that, looking around with just her eyes. “Where…?”
“Mah room at the farm,” Applejack explained. “Found ya passed out in the front yard, brought ya in. Gave Applebloom one heck of a scare when she found ya, though Ah’m sure that weren’t your intention.”
Trixie slowly shook her head, closing her eyes. “Magic accident…” she said. “Tried…tried teleporting, ended up…somewhere. Somewhere with a storm. Tried teleporting back to Ponyville…must have made it…” she grimaced, clutching a pillow closely. “Stupid lightning…”
Applejack nodded, brushing some of Trixie’s mane out from her face. “Well, you just rest up, y’here? You’re a guest a’ Sweet Apple Acres ‘til you’re back on your own four hooves again. Now, are ya hungry? Thirsty? Need to use the little filly’s room?”
Trixie shook her head to all questions. “Tired,” she said.
Applejack nodded, turning around and closing her window’s curtains, plunging the room into shadows. “Ah’ll let ya get some shut-eye,” she said. “But Ah’ll be right here if’n ya need anything, okay?”
Trixie vaguely nodded, and Applejack returned to the pillow she’d been sitting at. Just as she was picking up her almanac again and was about to move to her desk to get some light, she heard Trixie roll over. “Applejack…?” the unicorn asked.
“Yeah, sugarcube?”
Trixie stared at Applejack for a few moments, before inclining her head. “I…I know we haven’t…haven’t always gotten along, and…well…thank-you.”
Applejack realized, after a moment, that she was staring. It was one thing to know on some level that Trixie had seen the error of her ways after the whole Alicorn Amulet incident…it was quite another to actually hear the words thank-you come from her mouth, especially without prompting. Doing so made Trixie go far past reformed, in Applejack’s mind, and planted her firmly in downright neighborly territory. It was not a spot she’d ever expected the showmare to occupy.
After a moment, country manners overrode Applejack’s shock, and she tilted her Stetson to Trixie. “Ain’t no problem, Trixie,” she assured her. “You just focus on getting’ better, y’hear?”
Trixie nodded weakly, closing her eyes. “H…hey…” she said. “Do me a favor…tell my friends not to worry…if you haven’t already…”
Applejack blinked at that. She didn’t know that Trixie had friends in Ponyville. “Friends?”
“Yeah, you know…” Trixie breathed, yawning. “Lyra…Carrot Top…Cheerilee…Ditzy…” she yawned again. “Raindrops…oh, and make sure…make sure Pokey tells Luna…”
At that, Applejack stepped forward. “You know Princess Luna?” she asked.
The only sound that greeted her was Trixie’s breathing, however – she had gone back to sleep. Applejack was seriously tempted to wake her up and ask for a tiny bit of clarification, but on the other hoof, the mare had already been through a lot, and needed all the rest she could get.
As soon as Trixie woke up again, Applejack intended to get some answers. Until then, however, Applejack supposed she had a few ponies to get in contact with. She left the room, heading downstairs and finding Big Mac, where he had been reading an almanac of his own in the kitchen. “Trixie woke up for a few minutes,” she told her brother. “She seems fine. Mind runnin’ to town and lettin’ Doc Stable know?”
“Eeyup,” Big Mac responded, closing his book and standing. “Need t’get milk anyways.”
Applejack considered for a few moments. “Hey, Big Mac,” she said, before the stallion left. “Yer friends with Cheerilee, right?”
“Eeyup.”
“She ever mention anythin’ ‘bout bein’ friends with Trixie?”
Big Mac ruminated for several moments. “Eenope,” he declared. “Why?”
Applejack tapped a hoof to her mouth as she thought. “Trixie said they were,” she said. “And with a few other ponies…Ditzy, probably meant Ditzy Doo the mailmare…and Carrot Top, but she’s never said anythin’ nice ‘bout Trixie to me…and also Lyra, and Raindrops.”
Big Mac’s brow furrowed at that. “Lyra?” he asked. “Lyra Heartstrings? Plays the harp in the park sometimes?”
Applejack remembered that Lyra had once expounded, at great length, on how she played a lyre and not a harp, but that didn’t seem very important at the moment. “Ah guess,” she said with a shrug. “And I ain’t never heard of nopony named Raindrops.” She looked to Big Mac again. “Trixie also said she knew Princess Luna.”
Big Mac blinked a few times at that. “Lightning to the head must have the poor gal confused,” he concluded.
“That’s mah thinkin’,” Applejack said. “Might want to get Doc Stable down here on the double.”
“Eeyup.”

“Dust the whole second floor?” Twilight asked.
“Check!” Spike responded, putting a mark next to the entry.
“Dust it twice?”
“Check!”
“Polish?”
“Check!”
Twilight cantered backwards to her stairs, looking around her home. It literally sparkled, the firefly-lanterns causing the floor, walls, and even ceiling to glisten. The whole room smelled of lemony freshness. She had declared her flat pillow a lost cause and replaced it. Her bedsheets were dry and folded perfectly atop her bed, ditto the ones for Spike’s basket. Her desk was neatly organized with everything in its proper position, including the three quills (main, backup, and backup for the backup) laid perfectly perpendicular and equidistant from each other and the desk's edges. Her telescope had been polished, too, and focused, the lenses completely cleaned. Absolutely nothing was out of place as she regarded her home. It was, in a word, perfect.
“Finally,” Spike said, as he rolled up the parchment and glanced at the clock in the room. It read nine-thirty. “Time for this dragon to get some shut-eye.”
“Ah-ah-ah, Spike,” Twilight chided, using a hoof to stop him from going any further into her home. “Everything is too perfect up here! It needs to stay that way.”
Spike blinked. “You mean after going through all that work to get my basket cleaned and everything, I don’t get to sleep in it?”
“Not yet,” Twilight confirmed sagely, as she nodded and turned around, trotting down the stairs and telekinetically carrying Spike after her. “We’re sleeping downstairs in the library tonight.”
“Wh…bu…” Spike groaned. “Come on, Twilight!”
Twilight shook her head. “Sorry, Spike,” she said. “Hey, I’m not getting to sleep in my own bed, either. But I don’t know when Princess Celestia will be showing up tomorrow, and everything need to be perfect when she arrives!”
“I don’t think she’d mind a few ruffles…”
Twilight turned to Spike, pressing her hooves together. “Please, Spike,” she said. “For me?”
Spike made the mistake of looking into Twilight’s eyes. He’d used the puppy-dog stare enough times himself to know how effective it could be, and seeing Twilight there, hooves pressed together, ears flopped down, eyes huge and almost watery…
“Fine…” he groaned.
“Yes!” Twilight exclaimed in triumph, clapping her front hooves together. She and Spike wandered to the center of the library, where Twilight used her magic to conjure several large pillows in rapid succession, as well as a pair of bedsheets for the two of them. “Don’t worry, Spike, I’ll make it up to you.”
“Yeah you will,” Spike responded, as he settled down on one of the pillows, using his hands and feet to press it down a few times before settling onto it. Twilight threw one of the blankets over him as he yawned. “I want…a gem cake. A big one…”
“The biggest,” Twilight promised, settling down onto her own set of pillows even as she tucked him in telekinetically.
“With rubies…and…emeralds, and…” he yawned again, “and…opals…sapphires…”
“Sure thing,” Twilight promised.
“…lapis lazuli…” Spike sighed as sleep overtook him. Within another few moments, he was snoring softly. Twilight smiled at the sight. He was so helpful and energetic when he was awake, it was easy to forget sometimes that he was still just a baby dragon. Twilight gave him a gentle nuzzle, before settling down herself. Tomorrow was going to be a busy day – she’d check up on Trixie, maybe actually become friends with her, and then after, Princess Celestia would show up to her nice, clean, perfect home…
Tomorrow was going to be an eventful day. She could just feel it.
Trixie wakes up, Princess Celestia shows up while Twilight is visiting her, unfortunate wording and unfortunate implications, suddenly an interdimensional war like in Fringe (that's what happens in Fringe, right?), the multiverse goes tits-up, Twilight becomes Superboy-Prime, queue lots of whining and mass murder. And all because pony doesn't know how to pony pony.
So, it's the wild guess time who is which element now. Cheerilee, Raindrops, Lyra, Carrot and Ditzy/Derpy.
My thoughts are:
Ditzy - Laughter
Cerrilee - Honesty (Because a lieing teacher is bad)
Raindrops - Loyalty?
Carrot - Honesty
Lyra - Generosity
But I could be very well be off target by far
Trixie is in for a world of confusion.
2312259
Sorry, but none of them were right...
Ditzy - Kindness
Cheerilee - Laughter
Raindrops - Honesty
Carrot Top - Generosity
Lyra - Loyalty
Short but it does help set the stage for later. At least Trixie didn't freak out by seeing AJ. I look forward to the next chapter RDD.
2312259
Raindrops is Honesty
Carrot Top is Generosity
Lyra is Loyalty
Ditzy is Kindness
Cheerilee is Laughter
and I was about to go to bed to... oh well!
Nice scene with Twilight and Pinkie. hah love Twilight suddenly remembering her special visitor and her concerns, hmm if other ponies know Celestia is coming will they try to throw a party or something? Nice little scene with AJ & Trixie, the thank you and AJ looking out for her and everything. heh the next step in the mis-communication cross dimensional samba has been taken with Trixie and AJ, now where shall it take us next? Twilight's plan is hilarious! Good ending, I look forward to the next chapter! (Oh Twilight, you tempted fate and you are going to regret it)
2312271 2312289
And none of you noticed I left Kindness out of the picture, shame on you
2312259
L!Trixie was transported to the M!6 universe, so none of her friends' counterparts will be Element Bearers here.
I'm curious to see what happened to L!Twilight since the Pre-Crisis.
Que Trixie banter about Twilight out in the open, her friends are not her friends and Princess Celestia is meeting her, not Luna...
Oh the multiverse confusion sure knows how to make a screaming freak out of all of the mishaps.
2312285
Why would Trixie freak out she on speaking terms with the Apple clan, she may not like them but she doesn't hate them. So she figures she made it back to Ponyville and the teleportation spell picked Sweet Apple Acres as the destination which is close enough.
I was thinking that after the thank you that Trixie would go back to sleep causing us to wait till another chapter before suspicions arose. Guess this is a princesses are not god-like in this universe and I look forward to the Celestia/Trixie interaction when it comes up
Awesome!!! Cannot wait for the next chapter! Trixie's brain is going to break. Heh, Twi's too if Trixie messes up Celestia's visit.
Ah such lovely interdimensional chaos! Discord would be proud.
I'm actually really cool with a bit of "calm before the storm," and I hope it will last for a couple more chapters. Just having Trixie traipsing around town attempting to figure out what the deal is with this universe has a lot of entertainment value in itself, especially if AJ actually does tell the Maneverse version of Trixie's friends that she thinks they're her friends. It'll most likely be half hilarious and half heartbreaking to have them claim to either not know her (probably in Raindrops' case) or always thought she was an ass (no offense to any asses in the vicinity). That would actually be a good way to quickly exposit the differences between the worlds, with Trixie trying to jog her friends' memories with stuff that happened in the Lunaverse and then they each respond with what "actually" happened. End with Trixie being committed to a psych ward and we're good (well, up until she reveals something she couldn't possibly know or until either L!Twilight or L!Luna randomly appear). Hope the updates keep coming at this kind of pace, but try not to burn yourself out or anything.
2312350
They actually are indeed god-like, though in this case it's "god" as in Thor or Superman. Extremely powerful, extremely hard to kill, do not age or get sick, but not omnipotent by any means, and prone to the same failings as mortal beings.
2312350
I really do need to read the other Lunaverse stories don't I? Sorry, I judged what her reaction should be by hearsay and the like... like all the L-verse Mane6 being the oppisate of their canon selves.
Wow... As someone who has not read any of you "Lunaverse" stories... I like this. It does make me curious to see how the Lunaverse stories are, and as a fan of Multiverse stories in fiction, I think this has a nice feel. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Another good setup chapter, I can't wait for Trixie to be awake enough to recognize that somethings wrong.
One thing I've been wondering, how do you see the Elements interacting in this situation? (not the Ponies, the actual Elements) Are they Interchangable? or would it be an Matter/Antimatter sort of situation (one set seeing the other Set as disharmonous)?
And then she'll see Twilight (known criminal) with Celestia (Corona, evil mad god) and shit will officialy hit the fan. Oh my
2312362
Well, Pinkie is still Pinkie in the Lunaverse. Every time I've written her, I've lifted large amounts of dialogue from the show and presented it in exactly the same context. In point of fact I think her first appearance in the Lunaverse is better presented than her first appearance in the TV show, if for no other reason then the fact that Trixie actually stayed and enjoyed the party that Pinkie threw, unlike in the maneverse, where Twilight left within minutes but Pinkie kept it going anyway and didn't even check on her.
Fluttershy is basically the same as long as she's comfortable around you. In every episode that she's appeared in, her list of ponies she's comfortable around has grown. Most recently she added the entire spa staff plus Rarity. Fluttershy in this universe had a lot of expectations heaped on her by her father and aunt (her father basically owns the Cloudsdale weather factory and wanted Flutterhy to inherit the management of it, while her aunt, a duchess, has had difficulty conceiving foals, and so made Fluttershy her heir apparent) without them fully realizing how delicate she was, so her isolation is more of a kneejerk reaction rather than a legitimate psychological problem on her part (for the record, her father and aunt feel awful and have been trying to make it up to her ever since).
Rarity...yeah, she's a bit more bitchy. I don't think it's significantly so, though. It's more like how she acted in Sonic Rainboom, and only recently have ponies begun to point out to her how wrong that it. She's still personable enough; her appearance in To Cheerilee, with Love is entirely without incident or fault and could slide very easily into the manverse.
Applejack...there is one fic that kind of really pushed her in a direction that I wasn't entirely comfortable with, but didn't realize that until the fic was finished. Suffice to say that every time I've written her I've tried to show her as basically the same, but a little more traditionalist and stubborn. She still puts in a good show in Tales of Ponyville, where she interacts harmlessly with Cheerilee; and At the Grand Galloping Gala, where she doesn't hesitate to help out Ponyville in its time of need. For some reason she has a reputation of being greedy, but really I just see her as being more business savvy. She'd take a look at the long line of ponies lining up for cider, for example, and realize in a moment that she could charge much more than two bits a cup and still have it be considered reasonably priced (I'd bet she could charge five and nopony would complain). That's not greed, that's turning a profit. She also doesn't really care too much if she drives other farms out of business, because...well, that's how businesses work. She's not active about it, though. She just makes more money, which allows her to get better stuff, which allows her to grow a better product, which allows her to sell more of that product, which allows her to make more money...
Twilight...Twilight is basically in Lesson Zero mode all the time, though note that in Lesson Zero she does have "degrees" of crazy. Please note, though, that this has never been intended as a permanent state of affairs, but rather a chance to give her a multi-episode character arc.
It is worth noting that in all cases, though, I don't really view the L!M6 as being "The Lunaverse Mane-6," so much as distinct characters in their own right. I've never thought "This is how Twilight would be without Celestia," rather, I've thought "this is Twilight in the Lunaverse."
2312389
Thank RDD for correcting me, I stand corrected
2312375
Let me direct your attention to the cover image I made, which shows the Element of Magic being torn in half.
2312392
Sorry, just...I all but have a copy of that saved to my hardrive at this point. It's a common complaint, but is also commonly loaded up with misconceptions, so...
I declare that this cannot go wrong!
2312389
I could contend with every one of those points, but we'd just be running in circles.
Either way, good chapter. Bring on the next one.
2312426
At this point I'm thinking of making a blog post and then just posting a link to it whenever it comes up. You could do the same if you like.
Then I could have a link to a blog post rebuttal, and you could have a blog post rebuttal to my rebuttal...
Oh my, Twilight, you have no idea.
I can tell, Twilight, Trixie, Celestia and the other Elements and Princesses of both worlds are in for a wild ride!
2312406 Oh... I didn't even look at that, sorry.
2312361
Oh that's what you mean when I meant god-like I meant was able to sense the tear in space-time and know something is wrong
2312362
They aren't really the opposite but basically how they would be w/o Twilight. Without her AJ and Rarity wouldn't have become friends, nor Rarity and RD, or AJ and Fluttershy, Rarity and Fluttershy as seen in one of the fics only happened by chance, AJ and RD may have happened only because their so much alike, the only things unchanged is Pinkie being friends with all of them but even then would only be friends and not best friends, and RD and Fluttershy because well friends since flight camp.
Your evil making us wait
2310015 Ah no. Sorry, but that wouldn't be funny. It'd be rather mean-spirited to Trixie.
Awesome! Someone else is using my definition of pony magic, which is to say that Earth Ponies have the natural ability to make everything around them grow and stuff. It is awesome, hope that becomes Fancanon.
The storm is coming and I really hope the mane cast will take Trixie's words into consideration. Maybe if there's definite proof that the Trixie they have is a completely different Trixie from their world, like the other Trixie made the news or something.
This is great. It's my first time in the "Lunaverse" (I know we aren't actually in the Lunaverse). I'm liking it so far. I hope to see more soon.
2312501
Well, specifically, earth ponies who live and trod over a given area tend to imbue a part of themselves into the land, which grants that land and everything growing and living on it increased vigor and receptiveness. So earth pony farmers make the crops grow faster and stronger despite using the same amount of nutrients. Earth ponies who tend to animals have the animals be hardier and friendlier. And so on. Of course, their magic also grants them incredible strength and stamina as well.
It actually goes a long way towards explaining Equestria as a whole - the alicorns are, after all, a combination of all three tribes, and Luna and Celestia have walked the land of Equestria for a very, very long time.
2312258
noone knows what happens on fringe. Not even the writers. It's like lost, but with an extra helping of techno-babble!
2312259
Or you could check the Lunaverse group page for spoilers.
2312539 Well yes, I like to think of it as magical build up in the Earth Ponies, since they are the only ones without a direct means to use it up. Pegasus can fly and walk on clouds, Unicorns have magic. Earth Ponies' build up of magic has to go somewhere, right? So it comes out of them, and it effects things around them, as well as any excess adds to their greater strength.
I'm not a hundred percent sure I'm cool with the idea of another short breather chapter, because I'm dying to see more plot advancement, but then I guess it's important to make things flow more naturally. I don't know. I'm not that great at critique. I still like the way the fic is progressing so far.
Also, I'm starting to wonder if, when I decide to read the rest of the Lunaverse stories, it matters what order I do it in. Help me out here, please?
2312646
The Lunaverse has tighter continuity than the main series. It's probably best to start with Longest Night, Longest Day and then work your way forward through the main episodes. The webisodes are fun, but optional.
Here's the official list.
2312646 I'd start with Longest night Longest Day, It introduces characters and concepts in the Lunaverse.
2312664 Makes sense. That was the first idea I had.
And so we reach the point in the story analogous to the first peak of a roller coaster. I can look down and see the general shape of the ride, but what I can imagine pales in comparison to the experience that awaits me. I look forward to the drop.
It's scary how close this Trixie fits into this world... until she named off those ponies...
Nice of Applejack to give Trixie some space while she recovers. It's why she's my best mare.
Oh, boy. Things are going to get interesting quickly! Let the freak-outs begin!
2312671
...aw, now I miss being at Disneyworld...
Oh, I can just feel the tension that's about to explode in a big beautiful mess.....
FFFFF this is gonna be good
Oh, my. Given that most of the ponies who Trixie thinks of as friends see her as "the crazy idiot who couldn't fight the Ursa Minor and wound up with the mistaken impression that the nice pony at the library made a fool of her so she took over the town", I think that "tension" is putting it mildly. I cannot wait to see what the rest of the M!L6 act like....especially Ditzy/Derpy/Whatever she ends up getting called.
I wonder if Elements of Harmony can summon them on a whim or a spell MOAR!
Really it's just a question of who Trixie runs into first tomorrow. M6 or L6 ponies acting unusually? Twilight walking around as if she isn't on the run? Celestia showing up as if she rules the country and isn't still crazy? Any or all of the above at once?
This is going to be delicious.
Oh, I'm staying tuned. Trixie of the Lunaverse running facefirst into the canonverse is gonna be a treat.
Really enjoying this story but I have to nit-pick.
You mean "parallel," not "perpendicular." Parallel is side-by-side; perpendicular is at right angles to each other.
