Story incoming! · 3:16am Dec 5th, 2015
Tomorrow morning-ish, probably. And surprise, it's a comedy, which is a first for me! I'm trying to expand my horizons a bit, plus I just happened to get a silly idea, so... I thought I'd try it out and hope I can do my part to help fill the void I know the hiatus is gonna leave in our Saturday mornings for a while.
Anyway, it's about a prank phone call (of sorts), and it's an Equestria Girls story. I've been wanting to write something with Sunset Shimmer for a while, so it fills that bill, too.
Watch for it. Comments and thumbs and favorites and all that good stuff are all appreciated, if you feel like it.
Until then.
Sunset Shimmer fumbled with her phone in the pre-dawn darkness, jabbing for the green button. "Yello?"
"Hello, young lady. I'm with the Society for Heart Awareness, and we'd like--"
The red button was far easier to hit and Sunset put the phone back on the nightstand after checking the time. She had just closed her eyes when it rang again.
"Good morning, Sir or Madam. We have a wonderful opportunity for you if--"
The red button was a lot easier to hit this time. "Not even six in the morning and a weekend to boot. I gotta ask if Twilight can come up with something to fire a magical nuke down the phone line for these little creeps." She muttered a few more unprintable maledictions against all telemarketers when the phone buzzed despite being silenced. She ignored it, settling down in the covers as it buzzed away, until unable to hold herself back, she touched the 'stupid' button again, as she was beginning to view it.
"Hello. Would you be willing to participate in a brief survey in order to win a chance--"
Sunset glared at the phone, and then out into the darkness. She really didn't want to get rid of the phone. Her friends called her on it. It was probably her own fault for using the phone number on those websites, but she wanted to sleep in this Saturday morning. There was only one thing to do.

Princess Twilight Sparkle shifted in her bed, trying to ignore the faint glow of morning that was beginning to filter in through the huge windows in her castle. It was a weekend, and since she had spent far too long last night studying, there was no reason to get out of bed except for a strange muffled warbling noise that seemed to be coming from Spike's bed. She opened one eye and looked at Spike, who was draped over his bed with his mouth partially open. Strangely, the sound seemed to be coming from him, and in particular, his mouth. She crept across the cold crystal floor and carefully opened his mouth, only to have the strange noise stop, and something even stranger start.
"Hello, Sir or Madam. If you are a homeowner, we have an opportunity for you. Our company is looking for a sample home in your neighborhood. All you need to do is allow our technicians to apply a full set of aluminum siding and permit a certain number of your neighbors to come over to admire it, and your siding can be free!"
