Things I hate, Pt. III · 5:52pm Mar 1st, 2013
Carrot Top, Fisher, and the two of them needing to interact.

Carrot Top, Fisher, and the two of them needing to interact.
(No, I'm not abandoning the story, I'm just venting some frustration)
Sorry to hear that, wish I could help. Maybe CT was just the only pony left to go after Fisher and she spends the entire time groping for something to distract/talk with him about?
actually.....hmmmm......I remember GaC2 talking about this.....
Well, Fisher would see CT as a fellow businesspony thanks to the Union... and she's the only Element he actually likes. I could see her cornering her and talking her air off around Union stuff, possible contracts with Fisher Agriculture, etc.
Alternately, maybe CT confronts Fisher about what he did to Trixie, and they go to a corner and we get a neat I Did What I Had To Do speech.
Alternately alternately, it's been theorized on the boards that Fisher's spiffy monacle has various magic spells on it like Detect Magic. Maybe Zizanie just realizes that she can't Scourge Fisher because he'll see the magic potion in his glass, freeing up Carrot Top to go hang out with Mounty or Posey or something. (I think a Posey-CT scene could be cool, actually).
Well, there's always the possibility that Fisher has an intersecting hobby, such as agricultural produce, or flowers.
Does he have any links to the companies who sold the irrigation equipment to the Ponyville farmers? Has he ever clashed with the Apple Corporate Combine (yeah, I know)? A favorite dish that was served at the cooking competition that he has heard she prepares? A relative with the same cutie mark? Would he have word of a criminal who a certain large red stallion would be interested in the bounty upon their rump, but needs a cutout in order to keep his hooves clean? Does he need a conversational target in order to avoid talking to a different pony? Would he be interested in gathering some first-hoof information on the Elements that has not been filtered through the media or Trixie? Could he mistake her for a different pony of the same general coloring when his monocle gets cupcake frosting on it?
GrassAndClouds2 makes a good point about the Union. As someone who takes "the needs of the many outweigh those of the few or the one" to its irrational extreme, he might approach her to congratulate her work with the Union and badmouth the Apple Trust as a greedy monopoly threatening the stability of Equestria's food markets by trying to gather all of Equestria's eggs into their basket, opening him up to a verbal dissection of his own practices.

Hmm...cut him out entirely...might not be the worst of ideas, actually, seeing as I can't seem to write him and CT together about anything without making it contrived...

Posey and CT do also have a common link in one horribly introverted pegasus......
877781: It might be interesting to see how Posey reacts to meeting her daughter's good friend, the one who cured her of poison joke and is helping her open up.
(And if you need to get rid of Mounty for the conversation to work, since it was mentioned that Max and Posey went in together, I could see Scoots cornering him and chattering about all the awesome stuff she's done and how she's totally going to kick that climbing wall's butt the next time she tries it. Or Heavy Roller chatting with him about Scoots and how energetic she is, maybe with Mounty recommending some climbing equipment in case Scoots wants to continue to pursue her zany athleticism.)

In line with this....
It hasn't come up yet in Cheerilee's date, but Scootaloo now has some repelling equipment which she uses to climb various buildings. She's training.
877819: Awesome!
Thanks, that totally made the Looney Tunes ending theme play out in my head in it's entirety.
G-G-G-G-G— THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
877819: And now I have an image of Cheerilee waking up one weekend and looking out her window to see Scootaloo on the other side, climbing up her house for some reason.
"Hi Miss Cheerilee! My ball got stuck on your roof and I didn't want to wake you!"

I'm stealing that from you.
When in doubt.... violence.
.... or pie throwing slapstick.
