Chapter Preview: Agent T! · 7:10pm Apr 25th, 2017
The first scene to this weeks next exciting chapter of AJBS! Rainbow overreacting! Tank in need of hibernating! Stardust exasperated! And Twilight worried about stuff! Another day as usual! Enjoy!
SNAP!
"Ugh...!"
Upon hearing my growl, Nightshade wordlessly, gratefully handed me another quill before returning to his perch in the room. That was, what, the fifth quill I broke now thanks to my immeasurable strength? Internally I heard Sombra downright snicker in amusement at the mild irritation of this newfound strength of mine. Rolling my eyes, my attention resumed on the list below.
Okay... How about... The event involving Applejack's celebrity friend? I feel we can intervene there.
Pointlessly, yes, I can concur.
So long as we remain careful in this step.
Alright, so we'll put that in the 'change' box. Now, what about the incident with Daring Do, Rainbow and that critic stallion?
I'd say... Leave that as is. We would have no real incentive to be there... At least, you wouldn't have.
Good point... Check that off the 'Not Change' list. Although we're definitely changing the events involving Starlight's manipulations of time, along with the event at the Crystal Empire from the season six premiere.
If you feel that is best, I shan't condemn you for it.
How kind of you, Sombra spoke dryly, And what of Midnight Sparkle? I gather you won't permit that repetition of the moment.
Oh, absolutely! No way in Hell am I allowing any version of Twilight to become something like that. If I hurried dealing with Starlight, I can quickly depart for Canterlot High and stop those events from getting out of hand. I think you'd agree, Starswirl, that the continued interactions between both universes is a direct violation of Balance, correct?
Hm... And what of the fourth Equestria Girls?
What fourth Equestria Girls? I've never heard of a fourth Equestria Girls. There has never been, to my knowledge, a fourth Equestria Girls-
Oh, Twilight's here. I sensed her bright presence entering the room-
SNAP!
Argh...!
"What are you up to?"
"Thank you Nightshade." The owl graciously handed me the next quill. My direction then turned on my girlfriend. "Hey love. How's Winter coming along?"
"We're getting there." Which reminded me, I'll have to to stop Rainbow from wrecking the Cloudsdale Factory later on. "The leaves have been cleared, and the pegasi have already began spreading the snow clouds over Equestria."
I grinned at the prospect. "Wonderful, I love Winter."
Twilight smiled. "I know." Before glancing over to the desk I sat before with open curiosity. "What's this, a list?"
Shifting myself carefully to shield the view from the written events, I explained, "As you know, I know of the upcoming events of this world from season five to season six, alongside the next two EQG movies." I inclined my head to the laid long sheet of paper. "This list has all the written events, and I'm deciding which ones actually should I participate in and change without making any severe consequences."
"Oh I see!" Twilight nodded, her curiosity even further extended as she attempted to peek over my shoulder to read through the list at the names of episodes with either ticks or crosses next to them. "You're being careful in choosing which inevitable event to intervene with that would require your help, as opposed to simply throwing yourself into any problem believing you alone can achieve solving."
"Well, I don't want to solve these problems alone." Twilight beamed at the sincerity, prompting me to continue while shifting myself still, "Spike gave me the idea to write a list." Said dragon was primarily focused on playing Kingdom Heart 2.8 to acknowledge that, eyes glued to the screen as he enjoyed himself with the PS4. "I thought about it recently: Would it be right of me to interfere and solve every problem without giving the others a chance? Starswirl reminded me that these things happen for a reason, and they mostly if not always are there to teach us all important lessons about ourselves. So... Yeah, that's the list."
I might as well have been playing God. It's one of those times where you think about what you could or would do, but also considering if you should. Should I change every event? Do I have that right to do so? Was it really my place to intervene aside from my friends, making it so that they never learnt their lessons?
Before I could react, though, a flash of light from the corner of my eye was followed by the list now floating before myself and Twilight, the latter responsible. The mare began reading outloud what I wrote, continuing on from episodes we already passed, hence lining them out, "'Tanks for the Memories,' 'Appleloosa's Most Wanted...' 'Princess Spike?' ...'The Cutie Re-Mark...' 'The Crystalling...' 'Legends of Everfree-'"
Alright that's quite enough.
"Sorry Twilight, can't let everything not be a surprise." Was my swift apology whilst snatching the list from the air, setting it back down before she could proceed to inquire. "And, knowing you, you'll try changing every event if I clarify on anything."
The alicorn outright pouted at the accusation. "You know me better than that, Jack."
"..."
"..."
I raised a brow.
Twilight huffed, adorably so I might add. "Fine." Before turning towards the doorway with a small smile. "I have to go and check how the town's doing. They might need help clearing up the fallen leaves. I'll be back to read through that list later!"
"The Hell you will!" Was my playful retort towards her departed teasing. But, checking she was completely gone by sensing her distancing light, I released a relieved sigh. Honestly, I wasn't entirely too fond of people looking at any work of mine while it's unfinished without my consent.
Alright, back to work-
SNAP!
"...God dammit!"
Should have had twilight enchant a quill to be unbreakable before she left.
Ooo I wonder what happens if Discord or Chrysalis get their hands on the list. I really hope Stardust has away to make sure his lists stay safe. It be shame if Spike accidentally sneezed sending the lists to Celestia by mistake.
