[UPDATE] Minor "cutting room floor" idea · 4:05am Aug 10th, 2020
I came up with an idea a couple of days ago regarding a possible "b" plot for Empire that would involve (human)Flash Sentry, accompanied by (human)Rarity would take flagrant advantage of Rarity's ambassador status to make a trip to Equestria through the portal to investigate how to "court" Princess Twilight from the Equestrian princesses, Rarity's counterpart, a seemingly "random" encounter with (pony)Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, ultimately culminating in Flash meeting with Princess Twilight's parents and getting their rather amused permission to date their daughter. Ultimately, while the idea is cute AF, it doesn't fit in my HorseGirls fic, so I trimmed out the few lines that were going to start that little adventure. You'll be able to see where they were when I publish chapter 6, I am considering this particular escapade "canon," and I may one day revisit this story for a short story compilation from the universe of My Empire of Dirt. For now, though, it's been snipped.
I git it. But bummer, that does sound cute as heck.
That totally sounds worth a short story sometime. :)
