Writeoff.me story posted, and Monster update · 3:01am Mar 24th, 2016

Just posted An Awesome Funeral, my 8th place contestant in the Writeoff.me It's Your Funeral MLP shortfic contest that just finished. A few details below, and a sneak peek into the upcoming Letters From a Little Princess Monster arc, where Dark Forces stalk the streets and Town Halls of Ponyville, and new heroes must rise to meet them. Beware, for a new villain has been created, and he will stop at nothing in his quest for total domination.

Quick author's notes on An Awesome Funeral: There’s something about the CMC, like they are a microcosm of the MLP universe with Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity distilled into youthful little mirror images of themselves. That's probably why I like writing them so much with Monster.

The short is based off the Mark Twain story The Adventures of Tom Sawyer which (of course) was made into a movie which is not as good as the book, but not bad. In short, Tom and Huck get lost in the cave, the whole town thinks they’re dead, and have a funeral. Which, of course, they show up at. Hey, with this prompt, I thought for certain this bit would be done about a dozen times.

In this case, the CMC have just snuck back into town after their latest creation, a rocket-powered sled, has crashed, burned, exploded and burned some more in Ghastly Gorge. Everypony thinks they’re dead, BUT they’re alive (seriously, I thought about going the morbid route, but no). So there they are, in the attic of the Carousal Boutique, trying to figure out if this latest disaster means their families will break them up, and trying to get up the courage to face the funeral music.

Which, of course, goes the same way as their normal plans.

Sneak Peek at Letters (See! I'm working on it!)

Letters From a Little Princess Monster
24 - Part Two

Location: The City (City Hall to be specific.)
Time: An otherwise uneventful morning in town
Activity: Step One in the Evil Master Plan of Taking over the World

☐ - Stage takeover of City Hall

Mayor Mare (with Pinkie’s help) had just gotten the final book put onto the shelves and sent Pinkie Pie off to the filing room when she heard a noise. It was a small noise, repeated in a quiet tune, sounding a little like the children had found a record player and were playing one of Trixie’s stored records, which was just fine for her. At least they would not be breaking her brand new office, which was the important thing. She settled down in the custom-built chair, took a sip of her coffee, and prepared to mayor.

Mayoring always started with the crosswords, then onwards to the cryptoquote. The comics, of course, came right after the stock reports, then to the criminal blotter, which always remained blank. She was just trying to figure out what a ten letter word for ‘not literally’ was when the music outside the door swelled in volume and Featherweight came flying in through the doorway with an evil laugh.

Well, a somewhat malicious laugh.

Despite a long black cape and a dark helmet that had to nearly block the vision of the little colt, he managed to fly up to the ceiling of her office, still cackling with glee, and commanded, “Surrender, Mayor Mare, to the forces of Dark Feather.”

...Previously, in the Hall of Justice (Also known as the City Hall atrium)

Trixie’s crate labelled ‘Costumes and Props’ had been nearly emptied by the time the inevitable question came up about sides, which of course, was raised by Apple Bloom.

“We can’t all be super heroic.” Apple Bloom held up her glittering golden cape, which had been shorted by Snips until it only covered her like a small tent. “We need a supervillain to fight. Anypony want to volunteer?”

“Pass,” declared Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara almost simultaneously.

Sweetie Belle frowned while holding up the glittering piece of headgear she had found and bent until it fit her smaller head. “Supervillians don’t sound very nice.”

Featherweight gasped. “Are you kidding? They get the best costumes, and a lair, and set up deathtraps for the heroes. And then they get to laugh maniacally while the heroes escape. I’ve been practicing.” He threw back his head and let out an evil cackle only slightly more threatening than an ill rooster.

“Need a minion,” said Monster very carefully.

“Oh, yeah.” He flapped over to Monster and grinned. “You wanna be my minion? I’ll let you throw the lever to the hideous deathtraps that we set up for the heroes.”

She thought about it for a short while. “When we lose, we switch?”

Twist brighted up from her work taping together several of the smaller props into a ‘deaf beam’ of some sort, or at least that was what it was labeled. “That could work. Then we get to be both heroeth and thupervillianth.”
