Tiny Excerpt Time: Alicorn Switcheroo · 8:36am Jul 27th, 2015
Been a while since I've done one of these, huh? I hope this even posts, Skype just committed suicide on me and my internet is being really wonky right now.
Anyway, here is a little bit from Alicorn Switcheroo, Chapter 5. As always, this is unedited stuff that may or may not make the final cut. But I figured it would be a good time to show that I actually AM working on my older projects and pushing for completion.
He chuckled, his lion’s paw held up in front of his face in mock scandal. “What would they think if they saw somepony else raise the sun, and not their precious Princess Celestia? Although, I for one welcome our newest alicorn overlord!” Discord walked backward through the door that lead back into Celestia’s personal chambers, bowing the to Twilight. “Alicorn Princesshood looks good on you, Twilight! The wings really bring out the pink mana lightning in your mane!”
Twilight whirled on her hooves to face Discord, keeping a wing spread to shield Princess Celestia from him. “For the last time, I am not an alicorn or a princess!” She grit her teeth, grumbling under her breath for a moment. “Discord, we don’t have time for your tricks, or teasing. Can’t you see we have a real problem on our hooves here?”
“Oh?” Discord squinted at Twilight, her brows narrowing. He stopped walking and snaked his head closer to the tall pony, looking her up and down. “Then answer me this, Miss Smartypants: who just moved the Sun?”
Discord smiled wickedly, the beard on his goat-like chin animating and pointing at Celestia. “I have it on good authority it wasn’t Princess Shrimpy over there.”
There was another flash of light and Discord pulled a cord that hung in midair, snapping Twilight’s wing closed. Celestia whinnied in surprise and fell back into a seated position. Discord pushed a sputtering Twilight aside and stage whispered. “Oh, by the way Celestia, I approve of your choice for a successor. Sparkle here will keep the kingdom running like clockwork for millennia. I must admit I was surprised you made this decision without consulting me first, but now I see why you did! You get a vacation and I get the best pony to throw wrenches into the works of! I can just see her face now!”
Discord giggled, hooking his thumb at Twilight. “It’s a lot like the one she’s making now.”
See you soon and stay classy!
