Yahoo! I’m back dear readers! CPM here. It’s time I brought you the next chapter! Hopefully, I did it well enough so as to not be a screwed up chapter XD. I also thank everyone who did post stuff for me to use. You’re great! =). But I shall delay no further. Here’s the next chapter of “The Misadventures of MLP: FIM around the world”!
I don’t participate with Hasbro, Lauren Faust or any other cool person right now. Therefore, I only own the fic and nothing else.
Chapter 24: Ponies…meet bronyism
Okay, so in my power rests the minds of 2 earth ponies, 2 unicorns, 2 alicorns, 2 pegasi, and 1 baby dragon so that I can show them an interesting culture of which I belong, but to deal with it carefully so as to NOT make their minds turn into something like Tim Schafer would imagine in Psychonauts…no pressure at all! (Sigh), if I screw up, this is going to be bad. REAL bad. And if not, then SUCCESS!
“Okay then! Well, like I said, thanks to you and your adventures, a sort of culture has been created. We are all people who love how you guys are, your personalities, what you represent. Many of us can relate to you. Many of us have been through what you have been…well, not through anything that in our world is called magical, but you get the point. And so, with us humans being VERY creative beings, we have done some things for you. Like I said before, we have done music based on you, or FOR you. And stories that represent an immense amount of “What if” scenarios. But please, I’m gonna have to ask you do something for me.” I told them after I finished my explanation. My last words brought a question mark on all of the others faces.
“What’s that?” Twilight asked.
“Some of these things…could be insulting to you. So what I’m asking you is to take this, not as if you have lived through this, but as if you were outsiders. When I say EVERYTHING has been done in according to you, I mean EVERYTHING. But of course, it’s not as we are disrespecting you or anything. We are doing it for fun. So as to have ideas and take them out of our heads. It’s just that we love you so much that we use YOU as our models for these exact things. Most of these things have been done imagining what would suit best, or on the contrary, what would be the best opposite situation for you.” I explained to them.
“What do you mean?” Twilight asked.
“Well…I think it’s best if I show you. Let me put these two songs, that are, either in a way or directly, related to you. This next song for example, I think you, Spike, can relate to it” I told them, my head directed to the baby dragon, who in turn tilted his head in confusion.
“Huh?” he babbled. Well, can’t blame him on that. At least, I hope that it will not bring too many…feelings, nor that they take it the wrong way. Here goes nothing!...Again…damn, I’m gonna run out of nothings to throw away at this rate…Mandopony, you do your thing.
(Chatting with my friend Truebolt, he sent me this song with another purpose in mind…suddenly, it clicked that it could be here soooo…for saving me the trouble on that one, thanks dude!)
Once more, it's time for me to start
Time for me to do my part,
Helping Twilight, every morning, same routine
Since I was newly hatched,
We have been a perfect match,
Me and Twilight, the perfect team
Organizing all her books,
Making sure that every nook
And every cranny is kept extra clean
Yeah, it takes a lot of time
But I swear that I don't mind,
'Cuz me and Twilight are the perfect team
Some days may go by slow,
And others are too fast,
But every single memory will last
Ever since I was small
Me and Twilight, we had it all
As long as we were together
We could handle any task!
Now we travel 'cross the land,
To lend a helping hand,
(or helping hoof!) To anypony in need
They all shout, Hey All right!
It's Twilight Sparkle and Spike!
'Cause they know we make the perfect team!
So for Princess Celestia,
And for all of Equestria
We discover what friendship really means,
I could never leave her side,
Even if I tried, cuz
Me and Twilight make a perfect team
Me and Twilight make a perfect team
By the time the song finished, I went to look at Spike and Twilight for their reactions, needless to say, shocked was not a word that fitted them correctly.
“T-T-T-That…was…” Spike managed to get out of his mouth, his body in complete stiffness, while his jaw was dropped. Twilight was pretty much in the same state only silent.
“When I said that we imagined every “what if” scenario, I meant it. This song was composed by a well known guy in the community of the show, called Mandopony, and that’s the name he goes by in this Internet thingy, it’s not his real name, and he did this in honor of you two, and as you can guess, the song is called “We Make a Perfect Team”. Pretty much, what he thought Spike would feel to say, should he do something like this. What do you think Spike?” I asked him, my body tense for his reaction.
“I…I think…I think he got that pretty well.” Spike slowly said. And of course, after that statement, he got mega hug-tackled by Twilight, which he of course returned in what I can only describe as a “AWWWW!” moment. Dammit! Where’s the freaking camera!...Hmmm…now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that Spike was behind me, otherwise, there went my computer. Where was I? Oh yeah! Awwwwwwww!
The others too, were touched by the moment, everyone with their “awwww” faces, expect Rainbow who had a “Must…not…cry…!” face, and Pinkie who was crying rivers…of…tears…AHHHHHHH!
“Pinkie!” I yelled at the pony pretty much drenching the floor. Last time I checked, human-made floors didn’t have the power of super absorption, and as much as her crying is adorable and makes want to say “There, there”, I can’t risk her tears ruining the floor. How the hell would I explain this in my home afterwards?
Immediately after I yelled, Pinkie stopped crying.
“Yeah?” she said, in a total nonchalant state is if nothing happened. Typical of her and that’s why I love her!
“Ummmm…this is really weird to explain…when you cry, would you please not make your tears rivers? I have no idea how I would clean up after that, nor explain what would happen if that goes on for long…” I asked, totally nervous because this is NOT something you have to explain in a normal situation…but then again, since when I liked normal situations? When I asked, everyone looked at me, even Twilight and Spike who were still hugging, with a weird face. Oh yeah, I’m not nervous at all!
“…Yeah! No problem silly!” She told me, as if it was the most normal thing ever. It never is, but it is to her…great for me and everyone else!
“Uhhh…thanks.” I said to her, smiling while I did. By now, everybody’s face returned to normal, and Spike and Twilight had stopped hugging.
“Soooo…anyway, I take it you liked the song Spike?” I asked the baby dragon.
“Well…I wasn’t expecting that at all…but…I can’t say that isn’t something that I would say. That’s pretty much how I feel. And I really liked the song. Goes well with it. I don’t know about having fans or whatever, but if they do things like this…then I can’t say no.” He said, having a very deep moment with himself, and smiling when he finished talking. To both me and Twilight. The latter just went and hugged Spike again, while I just smiled back.
“I’m glad you feel that way Spike. I really am.” The purple pony told her number one assistant.
“Only the truth for you Twi’.” Said assistant told her back.
“This is what I meant when I said that people took on you. And this was just an example. Rainbow Dash, you got your own stuff as well. In fact, you all do. But this next one…well, happened with one of your phrases that got, you could say, a now immortal phase.” I explained to them, smiling while I said all that. Of course, at the mention of her name, the cyan pegasus obviously felt interested.
“Really…and which one?” Rainbow asked me.
“Well…the one that gives this song a name. The phrase you told Rarity while she was designing your dresses and asked each one of you what would you like in your dress. The phrase that now became an absolute in the language of bronies. Your “20% cooler”, pretty much stayed with us, and this song is an example.” I explained to the pony in front me, and right after I did that, I put on the song. May this sort of electro rap song DOESN’T cause me anything else. It needs to work…for my sake.
(More than one asked me to get this song in. I had never heard it before, but I’ve always seen people talking about it, and therefore, ended up curious…I understand now XD. Anyway, you know who you are, so thank you for the recommendation. Proved to be valuable in my choice. Now, let’s sing it!)
Yeah I own this beat
You can call me the king or the ruler
Felon on bass, getting hoarse at the mic
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We had a great day out
Calling my name like Ferris Bueller
It's time to wrap this up
We're getting 20 percent cooler
7 colors in your hair
Get your boots on dear 'cause we're going out there
Don't care bout the dress code
Put it on, let's go
Girls go wild 'cause we're going "al fresco"
Ha!
No need to perform
Hands on our bodies gonna keep our skills warm
We need social reform 'cause we're just so criminal
Linguist subliminal, damages minimal
Top percentile, largest fraction
Massive attraction, girl-on-girl action
Stop that, I'm gonna need a redaction
Drop that, you already got your reaction
Me? I'm gonna keep on smiling
You? You're gonna need restyling
I got the quote back
From the jeweler
You're getting 20 percent cooler
Yeah I own this beat
You can call me the king or the ruler
Felon on bass, getting hoarse at the mic
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We had a great day out
Calling my name like Ferris Bueller
It's time to wrap this up
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We're getting 20 percent cooler! x4
Shhhhhhhh
Reduce that treble
There's an 8 or 9 who think they're on my level
Like a rebel in a bunker getting shelled with a mortar
Bump up and down cause I think you ought'a
Place your hand on my thigh
Don't be coy, I can hear you sigh
Grinding your hips, I'll be flashing my pink
And in ten seconds flat you'll be back with a drink
Wooo!
Bring out the Bacardi
Twilight Sparkle, up in the party
Tap that, like a phone in the cold war
Room on the third floor, knocking at my front door
Me? I'm kind of a rarity
You? Work that dexterity
Lean back now, here's what I meant
Getting cooler by 20 percent
Yeah I own this beat
You can call me the king or the ruler
Felon on bass, getting hoarse at the mic
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We had a great day out
Calling my name like Ferris Bueller
It's time to wrap this up
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We're getting 20 percent cooler! x4
Yeah I own this beat
You can call me the king or the ruler
Felon on bass, getting hoarse at the mic
We're getting 20 percent cooler
We had a great day out
Calling my name like Ferris Bueller
It's time to wrap this up
We're getting 20 percent cooler
“You see Rainbow, this guy, who goes by Ken Ashcorp, apparently liked the show enough to make a song as well, even if he is not part of the brony community. Not only that, but the party sensation that this brings and the “feeling REAL cool now” sensation that it causes, is very well justified. The song, called as I said “20 Percent Cooler”, shows the coolness of it all, and some nice rhymes, and the party feeling altogether. What do you say, my dear cyan friend?” I explained to Rainbow who, as well as Twilight and Spike before, had her jaw dropped. Only in her case, it lasted for about 5 seconds after I finished talking.
“That…was…so COOL! And awesome! Definitely AWESOME!” Rainbow yelled at the top of her lungs. Okay…unexpected reaction in my way, but I’m sure as hell that I’m not complaining.
“I’m glad you liked it. Apparently, he tried to define the version of “cool” on your standards, but with our possible uses. And from your reaction, I guess he did it pretty well” I told her, giggling while doing so. Rainbow was STILL on her “So awesome!” state, doing little backflips while flying due to the small space there was to fly, and I think she was also trying to follow the beat of the song even after it ended. However after a few seconds, she stopped.
“Yeah! I never thought having a song made because of me would be so cool!” Rainbow admitted. Ken Ashcorp…you did it right!
“However, like I said, many things have been done, not only in your honor, but with as much “what if” scenarios as possible. Writing and literature, didn’t escape its grasp either. Many works of, what we call “fiction”, have been written because of your show. Thus, some really weird things, some very dark things, some very sad things, some very random things, some very good things, some very happy things, some very interesting things, some very any other adjective that may qualify a piece of literature, has been created. In fact, let me read you one of the most known works of fiction in this community. This one is called “My Little Dashie”…however, it’s far from you could gather it is.” I told the attentive listeners I had. The moment my words escaped my grasp, this brought a certain Wonderbolts fan in joy, confusion and embarrassment.
“Yeah! I’m so awesome they have written things of me!...But what do you mean by “not what I could gather it is”?...And how do you know that…name?” Rainbow finished, blushing at the last part.
“Thank Pinkie of that. Since we watch the show and your adventures, your little “nickname” by hers didn’t go unheard.” I explained to her, smug smile on my face which not only Rainbow cutely flustered, but also earned her a few responses.
“That’s right Dashie!” Pinkie reassured her friend.
“Seems your fans know your other side…ain’t that right…Dashie?” Applejack mocked her friend/rival, which made Rainbow flush even more flustered.
“Shut up!” Said rainbow-maned pony countered, still blushing like mad. Now I feel bad for showing this fic…(sigh). By now anyway, me, and the rest were just giggling quite loudly.
“Don’t worry Rainbow. There’s a reason the name is there. We know that if we were to call you that, you would kick our butts to the next century.” I assured the flustered pony. But I had to continue. “But on any case, you’ll see that this could explain a lot of my reactions, in a way. But please, take this work as the imagination of our heads, not as we are trying to make it reality.” I warned them once more.
“You should not worry Mr. Arcanel. We can take a good er…book, so to speak, with the correct stance it needs to be taken with. Even Rainbow Dash here knows something about that.” Rarity told me, which of course made everyone in the room laugh a little, and caused Rainbow to retaliate with a “Hey!”.
“So I’ve heard,” I told her back, giggling a little as well. “But…you’ll see why I am so worried. I’ll read it for you.” I explained to them, and with that, initiated the read that has probably made more than one person to cry…or to at least to make them stagger in that way, myself included.
When I started reading, I immediately realized that I was now doing a sort of dramatic reading of the story for real…OHMYGOSH! I really am doing this! I better make Mic proud, don’t want him to hear me and kick my ass for it. (Just in case for those who haven’t read it, there are spoilers in here, as much as I hate doing them. But I honestly have no idea how to make this better WITHOUT some telling of the story. I’m sorry. But I also can’t assume everyone who reads this has read My Little Dashie, even if it is one of the most read stories in the whole fanfiction of the community, nor should anybody. This also goes to anyone who asked for My Little Dashie =))
(I needed to look for a good background song to this…I don’t think this is the best song for it…but it was the best I had in mind. Hope you enjoy it)
“This is about a human, so that you know who to imagine. But, the story that is to be foretold, is not one of absolute happiness, but rather one of a scenario that many would give to live, but would suffer to lose.” I explained to them. Whether telling them that was a good idea or not, it at least got their attention fairly well, especially Rainbow Dash.
By the time I had finished reading the first paragraphs, where the protagonist tells of how sad his city is, how routinely his life is, and how he would wish something was done to make as his parents had told him, the first questions had come…and were of course, the ones I expected.
“Oh dear…this is so…sad…is this how your world looks like, and how some of your people feel like?” Celestia asked me. I had been prepared for this question, even if it pained me to answer it.
“(Sigh)…it’s not how all the world looks like but…there are some places, which really are just sad to see from afar…and when you are in there…it makes you wish with all your heart you could do something for it. Imagine this man that has been living all of his life in a place that used to be a better one…and now he has to see the almost ruins it has come to be. For some of us that watch the show, it is an escape for us. The world is great, but of course, not everything is sunshine and smiles. Watching you and your adventures makes us smile, to the point where even a plushie of you, and yes we do have of those as strange as it seems, would make sleeping for them better. That’s what you have come to create, and I honestly couldn’t be gladder that it did.” I told them, letting a bit of my speaking to be dreamier at the end. After I finished talking, there was an awkward silence, which I took my cue to keep on talking.
“Does that answer your question, Princess?” I asked the white alicorn, just in case she or someone else wanted to see me. After a few more seconds, all she said was “Yes”, and then went back to silence. This was my cue for continuing.
“Very well. I’ll continue reading.” I told her, to which everyone nodded.
It was strange really. It was me reading to the ponies and dragon I never thought I would ever talk to, but not only that, the ambient created was like I was in the middle of a theater while having lots of listeners around me…it felt nice…but it was like the pressure on my shoulders was starting to accumulate…and fast.
It was all going nicely…until filly Rainbow Dash made her entrance.
“What?...” Was all the cyan pegasus was able to get out of her mouth. The rest was fairing pretty much the same way.
“This…”author”…imagined finding a filly version of Rainbow Dash…?” Twilight managed to spit out. I understood their reactions pretty well. I’m just thankful “Cupcakes” is out of their way.
“Yeah…you can already guess where the “Dashie” came from. This human just found Rainbow Dash, when she was a filly, in an abandoned cardboard box, in not the best part of the poor fated city. I suggest you keep hearing because, this is something many would do the same, if they were in his position. This is what I meant by not being what you could gather it is.” I told them, being careful with their reactions. Things are going to get pretty heavy from here on. After their general nod, except from Rainbow who was as still as a statue, I continued.
As I kept on reading, I couldn’t help but notice that the face of the girls was one of “Dawwww”, except Rainbow who had an increasing blush, and Spike who was also in his “daww” moment, but it was less noticeable. By the time I finished the next paragraphs, comments towards the protagonist in the story had been made.
“What a nice human…I am glad that it seems that your people can be this nice.” Luna commented, talking after a long while. I wonder if she also means I am…then again, she was the one who did that awesome speech back in the lunch little awkward moment.
“I cannot believe one would be so…happy…when in his position…” Rarity said, a face of admiration written on her.
“This is something I’d never imagine even if I WAS a human…” Twilight admitted. The rest had kept silent, especially Rainbow who was just as still and attentive as when I started reading.
“It is something that we WOULD feel, should that happen to us. To most of us bronies, at least.” I explained to them. The future silence that came, gave me the approval to keep reading.
After came all the things that happened in the time jumps. To which surprisingly, after the one year jump, Rainbow finally spoke again.
“I know I would feel dreamy if I couldn’t fly, feel the air in my wings, going as fast as I could.” Was what she said. I don’t think that was the exact feeling the Rainbow Dash from the story was feeling, but given that she is a pegasus, I could be mistaken. However, Rainbow didn’t spoke as if she was getting a fact straight, rather, I think she’s getting into the story as well as the others. I just hope that’s a good thing.
“This…man…he wonders the same thing when you met us, right Arcanel?” Twilight asked me, catching yet another thing that I wanted them to realize on a separate matter.
“You’re right Twilight. After all, it is true that, should this happen to anyone, anyone with enough common sense and care for you would be worried of your reaction, whether the truth or not. Also, as you can see, we haven’t forgotten that you write with your mouths, or use magic for that. We think that writing with your mouths is weird, but that’s because we have hands.” ’Even though there is people who try to write with their mouth, but let’s leave that part out for now.’ I thought, an image of someone trying to write and draw with their mouth reaching in my mind. There’s no doubt that’s awesome, but they just met humans. Let’s not make them totally weird now. After my words, Twilight nodded and went back to her listening position, which gave me the cue for reading, however, I saw that Rarity, Applejack, Twilight, Luna, Celestia and Fluttershy had all sad faces when the part of the human knowing that the Rainbow from the story would have to go sometime. As had I.
When we reached the part where the person finally taught the little Rainbow how to fly, a sudden “Phew!” was heard among the ponies and dragon.
“For a second there, I thought I wasn’t going to be able to fly.” The words had come from none other than cyan pegasus once again, which made everyone one smile and do a chorus “Agreed”, which in turn made us laugh. However, there were some questions for me, as I expected.
“But what’s that SpongeBob and NASCAR thing? They better be some cool things, or I’m going to buck that human in the head.” Rainbow jokingly threatened…or at least I thought it was a joke. I know her enough to know that if she was paired with something not cool in her terms…I think she WOULD get somewhat pissed off, but I think I’m taking her for granted if I think she’s that superficial.
“Well, the first is something that as a filly, colt, or just about someone young would enjoy,” I started explaining to her. I still watch SpongeBob, but I don’t think she would like this show given who she is. It might be prejudging, but I’m NOT about to risk it. Not now. “And the second is about races. Imagine yourself in a race in Cloudsdale, but instead of that, you get a ground track instead of the air, and replace you and the ponies for the cars you saw in the game you played before. Believe me, it would be something you would watch, I assure you.” I finished. This seemed to please her enough, as she just said “Okay then” and kept silent. This let me keep on reading.
I was surprised when Rainbow didn’t say anything when I read when the protagonist helped “her” learn to fly and ask about her room and stuff, although there was a resonating “Dawww!” from the girls, and Spike was pretty much like Rainbow, although I think for different reasons.
By the time I reached the part where Dashie was able to gain both her cutie mark WHILE doing the Sonic Rainboom…oh yeah, someone had joy.
“YES! I’m awesome in both worlds!” Rainbow had yelled, making us all jump in surprise, but that also made us smile. Still, she’s right. She’s awesome on both worlds. However, while she was doing backflips again “Oh yeah…aha…I’m good…I know it.” I kept on reading, knowing that her ego wouldn’t deflate for a little while. Of course, if what happens next is what I’m hoping for, I’m not going to have to wait for long.
As such, when I read the part where they tried making the cake, Pinkie felt compelled to assure us.
“It’s true! Once I invited her to help and it ended up almost as bad when sleepy Applejack came! It was fun though. We had run all over the kitchen trying to save stuff and avoiding explosions in the ovens.” She said, laughing all the while, and apparently having a very good memory if her being on the floor because of laughing was any indication. This made the Element of Loyalty stop right in the middle of a backflip, much like cartoons stop in the middle of the jump, which made it quite fun.
“Hey! It’s not my fault I was born to FLY, not to bake!” Rainbow tried to defend herself. However, this wasn’t going to be a quiet one.
“Sugarcube, ah think we would know how to not make cupcakes explode.” Applejack mocked her. Uh oh.
“Says the one who put worms in them.” Rainbow retaliated, a defiant look on her face. Which had its desired effect, and made Applejack mad.
“At least ah was sleepy enough to make me see double!” Applejack countered.
“Now who’s trying to defend herself?!” Rainbow striked back. Ever seen the little rays of lightning that comes from people when they are starting to get mad at each, and is generally seen on rivals? Yeah, me neither, only on TV. But I swear I could see them now, and this was NOT good. I can’t make an Ironpony competition in my house!
“Applejack! Rainbow! Can we please let this for later and not make a scene when a book is being read to us?!” Twilight complained to her friends. The funny part was, that she did it because she loves a good story, as I think it’s obvious when she reads so many books. Mess with Twilight and her books, and a horrible fate awaits you. Period.
The chastised ponies looked at each other and just shrugged, returned to their places and went silent. I’m guessing a “Yes Twilight” would be too much to ask? But then again, they know how Twilight is in regards to this. Rarity, Celestia and Luna just giggled.
When I reached the final part of those paragraphs, a very awkward silence ensued. Mainly because Rainbow’s eyes were wide opened, thing is, so were all of the other eyes. Apparently, the word “daddy” was too much for them.
“Given that’s how I think a daughter would react, no matter who she was, if she was raised like the Rainbow from the story, that would be the normal reaction, right?” I told them, unsure of what they would say. However, I was met with a nod, a “DAWW!” and “That’s so cute” from the mane six minus Rainbow, which was surprising coming from Applejack, a…I think “that was lovely” face from Celestia, Luna also “DAWW”ed to my surprise, and I think a little smirk from Spike, but I wasn’t too sure. Rainbow just remained in silence, doing what I think was soaking in the story. Her silence however still put me nervous.
Throughout the part where the protagonist used a joke in a really bad way, there was a moment where I toned down a little, trying to imply as much as I could the shame he felt. In truth this could happen without realizing it, and Celestia was the one to point out.
“While he may have used his words somewhat improperly, he at least said sorry, and it was because he was so used to being with the Rainbow from the story, as he had raised her for ten years. I’m glad to know he cares so much for her, and that being based on a real human, so can you.” was what she pointed out. The last part came with a softer tone, I think so as to indicate me, which I was really glad to hear. Her sister, her student and the rest all agreed with a “yeah”, Rainbow included. This made me relax a bit, because I WAS a bit tense, given that I am a “just in case” guy thanks to my mother, even though I know in my mind and heart that they wouldn’t be too mad anyway, or that would be forgiving, even Rainbow.
However the heavier part came when I finished reading the part when Dashie discovered the show. This was a very moment for me to explain something.
“You see? This had been my thinking at first. The feelings are of course different, but this was what I was afraid would happen should you see it. When you told me that you Princess Celestia and you Rainbow had been watching the TV, I was really tensed because you could have discovered the show, and that would have been much more difficult to explain, especially because I wasn’t even conscious at the moment.” I explained to them, which brought a small embarrassed face for a short moment to the rest. “It’s something that no doubt would be difficult to do, and in here, where the relationship was closer, you can imagine just how hard it was.” I finished, getting a nod from everyone, an understanding face on all of them.
“We understand Mr. Arcanel. Do not worry yourself.” Luna reassured me, which left me with a better way to continue reading in my state of mind.
When I read the first middle of the next part of the story, when the protagonist was sulking after Dashie’s escape, I couldn’t help but feel a bit…sad. I got the feeling each time I got there. And apparently, I wasn’t the only one.
“By the stars…I haven’t seen someone, or rather read of someone, so…destroyed in the heart like him after somepony had left…” Rarity commented, a look of sorrow in her face that said that she was really feeling the story right now. The others were not faring any better, however, Rainbow was still with some sort of blank face. It was really starting to creep me out, but, it could be that this is how she actually reads something like this, if she ever does. After all, all I got on her reading reactions is whenever she read something from Daring Do, and that is MUCH different than from this, especially, because this is technically about her.
“After so many years of growing together…something like this would be as heartbreaking as very little things.” Celestia said in a grim tone. She must have probably seen some awful stuff in all her life…I can guess that much.
“Ah could relate to that human. Nopony deserves to be lied…but it was for her protection.” Applejack declared, a solemn look on her face. Being someone who almost never lied in her life, unless you count when she was controlled by Discord and maybe some unremembered times when she was little, she would be close to how the protagonist was feeling, with something like this. For the sake of no one else getting in their state of connection, because this WILL become a depressed room soon, I can’t let that happen before. And so, I quickly kept on reading after the silence had stretched enough.
By the time Dashie and the protagonist had reconciled, everyone had such a face of relief that I was wondering if the photo could not be made a new meme- I’M SUPPOSED TO BE SAD,. NOT THINKING OF THIS DAMMIT! ‘(Sigh) Screw you head! Screw. You!’ I thought, making my face as concealed and hateful as I could in regards to my own mind. However, Dash was STILL a statue. I think I could see a body reaction, but I think she went all Criss Angel on us and made a living statue of herself. And the others were none the wiser, since they were so connected to the story. I think Rainbow WAS connected to the story…but the lack of reaction was…abnormal, to be honest. Then again, the hell I know with her?
However, then came the part no one wants to read because they know what it will be about.
“Oh no…” Was all Celestia could say, she too predicting as well what would happen, and by the face the rest were putting, so did the others.
However, a certain someone broke after a little part…one that we are terrified of what would happen if it ever went to happen.
“Dashie…not…remembering me?” Pinkie said, starting to sulk at the sole image of such thing happening. The others weren’t fairing any better, even Celestia and Luna had started to sulk a little. Then I realized that Pinkie’s mane was going straight…wait…Oh no…her mane is starting to go flat! Gotta do something quick!...er…
“Then no problem! I’ll make her remember me again!” She immediately shouted, going back to her bubbly self. This made everyone giggle. Even Rainbow, who had a grateful look plastered on her face. But it was short lived. I had kept on reading, and looking back, I could see that out of them all, the ones who were more affected, were Princess Celestia, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash. Celestia was obviously affected by hearing of her story self speaking, so to speak. I think she KNOWS she would have to do the same, given the circumstances, but now that she actually had to think of it, she is pained. A lot. The stricken look was enough for Luna to try and comfort her older sister, putting a wing over her. Twilight had been also touched, since she was the one doing, for lack of a better phrase, the dirty job. Since she is the only one at that moment who could do such a spell. I could only imagine the pain she would suffer through such a thing. Fluttershy had been silent through the whole thing. I don’t think I remember a comment from her. However, when I saw her face, which was almost in the verge of crying, I could see that, if she hadn’t cried now, then she was doing everything she could not to do so now. And as for Rainbow, she was starting to react as well. Her body language was a bit shaky, not to mention she almost literally starting to falter…and I could understand more than I already do, I think. Pinkie was sad too, but she wasn’t as depressed as she momentarily was before. I finished reading the story, which, I realized, had tired me a little, especially because not only reading it, but having the same people who interpreted this, so to speak, and to see their reactions…is something that no person alive would go through easily. I can vouch for that. It pained me to see them like that.
“…That was something…beautiful, Mr. Arcanel. I must admit that have few times where I have felt such emotions through a piece of reading, and I am an avid novel reader myself. It was sad yes, but it has a beautiful story. You can be certain I felt that.” Rarity told me, a face that was calm, smiling, but at the same time, having felt all the emotions from before. It was in a sense, a combination of all the previous thing into one.
“If I had any doubt that your race did not possess any skill of literary writing, then they disappeared now. Yes, it is not the greatest work I have read, nor is it even of the something I would recommend to the very top, however…its story moved me. It…made me feel as if I was really there, and that’s something that would be difficult o accomplish, even if it is me the one to be there.” Celestia admitted. Her face was one of…I couldn’t tell. I read once in a fic a little while ago that Celestia had one of the best poker faces ever, and now I could be certain that was true. Great for playing the same game mentioned in the name, bad for one to see feelings. But I’m just glad it hasn’t affected anyone, especially her.
“I agree with my sister. I too am a pony who knows something about the literary works in Equestria and this I must admit, that being written by someone who is not from there, and from an entirely different race, and being about us…I must say that it is something that I would enjoy reading, as sad as it may make me feel.” Luna finished, putting a comforting wing on her sister again, who smiled back.
“Ah…don’t know what to say. Ah…can’t believe someone would write this but…ah can’t say that I didn’t like it…” Was all the the orange farmpony could say. Her face was one of wonder, as in distress over how she should feel, which was weird coming from her, but…I guess I shouldn’t judge her, especially since this is one of the deep stories out there in the community’s fanfiction.
“I….um…really liked the story…but it made feel sad…very sad. I almost cried when the human and Rainbow had to depart like that…but it was very sweet of him to do that. Doing the right thing…isn’t always the easiest thing to do.” Fluttershy said, and her almost common, soft whisper. If anything her face was straight, but at the same time, she was sad…and then she went back to do a little smile which disappeared quickly. It was something that I wouldn’t have expected from Fluttershy, but then again…I think somewhere along the way she could relate…only I’m not sure where.
“Remind me not to read this before I go to sleep. I want my mind intact and my eyes tear free if I can…” Was what Spike commented. Either he really felt the story, or he was just his somewhat tactless self there. I can’t tell to be honest. ‘Wait, he would read this if he went to sleep if it weren’t for the fact that it is sad?’
“I was really really sad…especially when Dashie couldn’t remember me…but then I was glad I could see her again after, but I didn’t want to make the human sad…I know, I could throw him a party some other time! And I also really giggled when he was playing with Dashie here!” Pinkie cheered, giggling all the while at the end, causing said pony to have another flustered page in her history book. Out of them all, Pinkie seemed to be the less affected one…even if she was the one who almost went Pinkamena. But then again, she is Pinkie.
“I……wasn’t expecting this when you told us about “What if scenarios”…but I can see that your race has a lot of imagination in your mind…and this was an excellent way to put it…I felt really sad…I didn’t know what else to feel. I would be horrified if I had to do that. But it was something that I really enjoyed, as sad as it was, to have someone try to portray something so…difficult to see it happening.” Twilight told me. Her face was also one like Fluttershy’s but it was less noticeable and with her head a bit higher. It was then that everyone looked at Rainbow, who by then was with her eyes closed and just lazily floating. Apparently, after the story finished, she went to have some time off in dreamland. But she suddenly opened her eyes and went back down to Earth.
“I can’t say too much…because I don’t know what to say. I mean, not only this was something WAY too weird for me to read…but when I was hearing what was happening…I had to control myself over what I felt. I wasn’t expecting my…erm…other name, to come up. What can I say about this?...I don’t know. I really don’t know.” Rainbow finished, her hooves crossed over her chest and looking to the side, as if unsure herself of what it was. To be honest, I was expecting a more felt answer…but I guess that since it was too felt even for her…yeah, she would feel confused. After all, when the hell did you have an alien imagining you as a baby/filly in the hands of someone of said race and then with all that ensued in the story?
“I’ll tell you the truth. I was somewhat wondering what would your reactions be, especially yours Rainbow. But…I guess that the main thing is that you’re just weirded out, but not affected, right?” I asked the rainbow maned pegasus, who gave a nod as to confirm my suspicions. “I see…well, if anything, I’m just glad you enjoyed it as a story, and not as something that should be taken seriously.” I finished, the relief washing over my body like a wub dishwasher. ’…wait…what the…?…Grrrr….THAT SONG! ARGH! Get out of my head! Now…where was I? Oh yeah, about to show them something much more funny…but a bit more risky’
“Are all of you okay?” I asked, concerned by what could be possibly wondering through their minds, except Spike who didn’t looked that touched by the story. I got a general “We’re fine, thank you” from all of the others, who were returning to their…er…senses? Nah, they were just struck a bit. I don’t think it would be enough to traumatize them…no. That’s a lie and I know it.
“Anyway, I have yet to be finished. This next thing that I will show you…well, I guess you could say that I want you to take this with as much comedy and objectivity as possible.” I spat out. This had made once again to, aside from recovering positions, faces and personalities, in a way, go all “Why?”, which was also expressed.
“Why comedy and objectivity?” Twilight asked, her face a big question mark.
“Well…because this is a something that was done for us to laugh because it is a dramatization of what we would do if we were to watch the episode…where the Canterlot Wedding happened.” I finished, not really sure of what I was doing anymore. This, of course, made surprise in all the ponies and the dragon, but it was someone who took the cake of attention.
“I see…wait, you know about this too?!” Celestia almost shouted, a look of pure shock in her face. Luna was surprised too, but the fact that Celestia had a face of so much shock was not common. Hell, let’s take a picture of it and we would have a new emoticon to use!...Er…I don’t think she would appreciate that, now would she?
“Yes…all of the events that transpired in that moment are also “recorded” I told the older royal sister, answering her face of shock, which even after my answer, only subsided a little.
“Again, please don’t take this video in wrong way. Rather, see it as ourselves doing something for our fun, and that should you be humans, you would enjoy it…even if you were direct participants of it.” I warned them, tensing my body again, for what could come next. By now Celestia had left her state of shock, and nodded. And with her, so did the rest. That gave me the cue to quickly look for the video and start it. For the love of all that is holy, pure, right, lawful, fair, and sane…don’t corrupt their minds forever video!
(Light Mask, thank you. You made me discover this hilarious video, and also gave me a good one to use for discoveries purpose. Also, you gave me something that I know laugh almost every day…but that aside, let my story advance. Thanks!)
As I started the video, I couldn’t help but notice that, our more keen learners so far, Luna and Twilight, were intensely watching the people that appeared there…as well as also there being a few comments on the show.
“So you DO know what happened there!” Rarity shouted, her face in shock. Apparently, it was less than when I initially showed it but…it still is something weird to see, of course. All started going to the opposite side of hilariousness when the first ermmm…reaction came up. And I wouldn’t be surprised.
“Hey, I remember I was eating a daisy sandwich! I may not have lots of memory, but I remember what I eat! Why do they show me eating something I would never eat!?” Rainbow complained after they showed her eating a ham sandwich or whatever it was. Uh oh…initiate “Save my computer and my body from imminent injury” operation.
“Well…I don’t know. I honestly don’t know. I mean, at first I thought that was for us to laugh, because we know that ponies are vegetarians, and that it was a joke made by the people who made the show.” I tried to explain it to the rest, but more specifically to Rainbow, who by now was again in her “Imma kill you now!” state, which was bad for me. The others, which were also surprised, were also outraged by this.
“It is only because they did not know we existed, right?...But didn’t this Lauren Faust person look through our world?” Luna wondered, trying to find reason to this “joke” of ours.
“Are you sure it was just a joke Arcanel?” Twilight asked me, giving me a look that wanted to confirm if it was REALLY a joke or not.
“Why I never! I would not DARE to taste something like meat! Not in my LIFE I would have such horrible thoughts in my mind!” Rarity assured, she too a bit peeved off by this little “joke”.
“While I appreciate that they try doing a joke based on us…I do not think that this was the best choice for it.” Celestia admitted, her face showing that she was not absolutely disgusted, but she WAS in discomfort. I was about to try to explain them, but a frail voice entered the room.
“But…I would never eat meat! I wouldn’t dare! I could not do it! Not even if they forced me!” Fluttershy retaliated, this time, her voice fragile, but also louder…Oh dear…memory of mine, this is why I hate you. Because the opportunities of life you make hell for my mind!
“Remember Fluttershy, please! We don’t want to make you look like that. I know the “joke” thing doesn’t look too pleasing but it’s the truth. And I believe that Lauren thought the same thing. Besides, none would ever do something this bad. None at all…” I told her, trying to calm her down. ‘And another lie comes into frame. If Psychoshy exists right now, then yeah, there has been some stuff that if they would watch it…not to mention Cupcakes, Rainbow Factory, the .MOV series, Friendship is Witchcraft…although they could laugh in the last one…I better take that thought into my mind and close it for the time being’
Meanwhile, there was one girl and boy who actually reacted like I wanted them to, as well as Fluttershy starting to calm herself down and trying to…I guess understand it?
“Come on Twilight! Don’t you think you are being a little TOO serious on this? I mean, yeah, you don’t eat meat or anything like that, but he did say it was a joke, right? And to tell the truth, it was kind of funny. Never thought someone would do this like that.” The boy voice had come from, obviously, Spike, were by now, I was wondering if there was any chance of Twilight letting me adopt him, but then I realized she would stop being Celestia’s student before she gave him up, and that Spike would never try to have a chance with Rarity…AKA, Awwwwwwww…he just saved me in so many ways possible…
“That little dragon’s right girls. He wasn’t trying to make you mad, he was trying to make you look funny. Gotta see the fun side this, now why don’t ya’?” Applejack spoke in an almost chastising manner to her friends. In a way, she was speaking to Celestia and Luna but she probably wasn’t thinking of that in the moment. I don’t think it would ever cross her mind.
After both of them spoke, it made the other ponies, the royal sisters included, which made Applejack do a little “Gah!” in surprise, put on their pensive faces, and then nod.
“I agree that we ARE taking this too seriously…we should not just think of us, but Mr. Arcanel did tell us to take this with as much comedy as we could. And we should do just that. I am sorry for the…inconvenient reaction from our part, Arcanel.” Celestia told me, smiling before bowing her head in apology, Luna following suit, and the rest who had criticized following with a “Sorry” afterwards. I went from tension sweating, to embarrassment sweating. Granted this is something that would make many people faint on the act but…I can’t take too much of it. It’s almost like when Celestia bows, she respects me enough to trust me, and that is more than enough to make me go to “OMYGOSHOHMYGOSH” land. I had to do something before I went and did just that.
“Please, don’t apologize. It’s my fault that I showed you this but, since some of this…ummm…”reactions” have actual good questions to the show, I just wanted you to see just how much do we pay attention to your stories.” I told them, trying to get them out of their apologetic states, which worked because they all lifted heads, and in the case of Celestia and Luna raise necks too, and nodded. That gave me the cue for approval, and to get things laughing as much as I could.
“Thank you. Would you like me continue the video?” I asked them, not sure if they wanted to continue watching, which would be totally fine by me, after all this. To my joy, they all nodded. Okay, I’m still in the game!...But I WILL need a doctor after this. There’s no way my heart’s the same after all this…either that, or I really, REALLY need to do some drum playing. Whatever the heck works.
After I put again the video, all had gone well, until the revelation of the season came….Twilight’s brother, Shining Armor.
“Honestly Twilight, why didn’t you tell before that you had a brother? And as the captain of the royal guard no less?!” I asked the purple unicorn with a bit of a smug smile, who in return just gave a look that said “Since when YOU could ask?”…or it was until the others started asking too.
“He’s right though, sugarcube. Why didn’t you tell us anything about him before that?” Applejack questioned her friend, she too starting to remember the events of that day.
“Applejack is right Twilight. After all, not only is Shining Armor your brother, but he is also captain of the royal guard!” Rarity reminded Twilight, going all starry eyed again. In fact, if she had her “I e I ay I ahhhhhh (super joy face)” episode again, I would not be surprised.
“Well…we hadn’t spoken too much after I went to Ponyville, and after all of the adventures we had in here…I guess I just forgot.” Twilight said, trying to defend herself. While still a little bit curious, Rarity and Applejack nodded and backed off…which also gave me space to continue…close one there.
When BBBFF came into the video however, I couldn’t help but laugh. I mean for god’s sake, look at Solrac! I mean, I did that too, but still!...Surprisingly, the ponies, although more specifically Pinkie, Rainbow and the baby dragon of the group, were laughing too. The rest was just giggling a lot. Even Celestia…well, I think Solrac would pretty much faint if he knew that they are laughing because of him.
Aaaaand then came Tomb eating Twilight’s little figure, which by the way, was recognizable enough for the others to know it was her.
“Oh my gosh! Is that me!?...And did he just…eat me?!” Twilight asked, a bit angry at the end. Crap, I need to think of something fast, or else she’s going into fire mode!....Ehm….ah…Dammit!...Oh, I know!
“Yeah! But that was a candy made figurine. You see, even candies were made of you!” I told them, as cheerful as I could. It wasn’t technically a lie, because I honestly don’t know, but how the hell I’m going to explain that the guy just ate a little doll of Twilight or whatever…oh TheLivingTombstone…why did you have to do that!?
Apparently she bought that. She was still weirded out, of course, but she nodded. However, someone else had still things to say.
“Ohhhhh! So, does that mean there are itsy bitsy candy made of us!? We could eat ourselves?! That’s so cool and cute! I wonder what I taste like?” Pinkie ranted, starting to wonder how she and the others would taste like in candy. While I was having fun watching the reactions of the others, I had to continue for my sake.
More laughter ensued when they saw the rest of the guys’ reactions. Especially at ACRaceBest.
“Hahahaha! Is that guy crazy or what?!” Rainbow commented, laughing her flank off, Spike following suit. Well, they sure are enjoying this much more than I thought of. Even Celestia was starting to have a hearty laugh…which by the way, sounds a bit weird considering all she did had been giggles.
“Nope! We ain’t crazy ‘Not by much at the most least’. That’s why this is a dramatization. AKA, something acted to make it look like that” I explained to them, not even convincing myself. (And let’s be truthful, most of us HAVE reacted like that…well, almost anyway XD).
It was all going well until there was another apparition…Sibsy.
“Hey, I know that mare!...how do you?” Twilight asked me. Let the explanation begin…and probably the awkwardness too.
“Well…either by some chance of destiny, or some power I really don’t know what could be, that mare is similar to one of the people who works in the show, that we know as Sibsy. As Tsyolin here showed, that was a photo of her, and she DOES look like that mare, see?” I told her, making her look very closely at the comparison of photos. The purple mare that was watching suddenly jumped.
“Wow…just how many more coincidences will this show have?!” Twilight asked to the air, to which I laughed. Oh, she has no idea…at all.
All was going smooth…and stopped the moment Princess Cadance, or rather, Queen Chrysalis as Cadance, came into action…which brought Saberspark to do Twilight’s little dancing.
“Oh…my gosh…” Was all the purple pony could say before she laid on the floor and covered her face with her hooves. ‘My dear Twilight…you have no idea how much I want to go and laugh…so much…but I can’t because I respect you…nor do I know what would you do if I were to do that’
“…kch…KCH…GAHAHAHAHAHA!” Rainbow exploded in laughter, not able to even stand and just falling laughing.
“Oh dear….” Rarity said, trying her best to not giggle and actually succeeding. If anything though. Amused was the more accurate word for her. Luna and Celestia were in the exact same position.
“(Giggle) that’s so cute!” Fluttershy complimented, actually trying to give her friend some compliment…but I think because of Spark, her side was more on the laughing side, than the cheering side.
“(GASP) I didn’t know you had your secret greeting too! We could do that each time we meet! That would be so great!” Pinkie said, her face in total imagination of the future greetings, while Twilight just covered her head even more. I think I may have just doomed her…sorry Twilight.
As much as they all seem to be having fun, I had to call it quits for now, as there was a LOT of things they would react to, and to save Twilight further embarrassing moments. ‘Huh…this is like I’m doing a “react to” to this “react to”…and then I would have to show them the “react to” to the “react to” of teens, so that they would be reacting to a “react to” of the “react to”!....OUCH, my head!’ (REACTception! XD).
Of course, when it came to the…erm…I’ll call it offending flank in the screen…someone was a little more than confused.
“I don’t get it. Why would it be something bad? What did I do?” Twilight asked, completely oblivious at the point seen FROM the screen, as she thinks of it as she herself remembers. I could see that everyone else was just as confused. Princess Celestia however, had not been fooled so easily.
“Mr. Arcanel…if it would be possible, I would like to have a word with you later.” She said, not saying it like a request, more like something I HAD to do, even if she wasn’t intending that...’Note to self: after this whole thing ends, which I hope it doesn’t, I must remember to put my brain in a cryogenic chamber, to test whether memories actually DO fade away after been frozen and after time passes…if only some does, then this is something I will NOT like to remember…or maybe a neuralizer. Whatever works first.’
“…Don’t worry Princess Celestia. I’ll explain it to you in a more…appropriate time.” I tried saying, so that the message that we DID need to talk was sent, which worked and went back to watching, but her face had grown more…blank, I think…(Sigh)…this is what happens when you mess with the mind of humans. The rest of the group didn’t have any idea what the hell was going on, especially Twilight, but I think she saw Celestia’s face, reason why she probably didn’t ask.
As the video kept on with false Cadance in show, then came the question I tried to avoid.
“What’s that…ummm…thing he said? Was it “bich” or something like that?” Rainbow asked. Had it not been that I had no glass with juice with me drinking of it, I would have done a spit right then and there.
“Ummmmm…let’s leave at that it is an insult. That’s all you need to know. It’s a bad word, and you don’t need to, nor should you say it, okay?” I told Rainbow, but also directing my face to the others. No need to explain them some stuff, right? They all put on a weird face, but nodded nonetheless. Okay, I have what…6 and a half saves by now? Eh, I lost count. No need to track just about how many times my heart was about to stop.
Then came Trivium’s “I think something’s amiss…DON’T YOU?”…which by then had Twilight’s, Celestia’s, and Luna’s full attention.
“I wish I had done something to see it before…” Twilight lamented, her mentor going right in front of her at the end of her words.
“No Twilight…you knew something was wrong from the beginning. If anything, it was our fault for not realizing this before.” Celestia countered, lamenting herself too. Luna had also gone and put a comforting wing around Twilight. Hmm, I wonder, just how soft are those win-…okay, seriously brain. Stop messing up MY MIND!
However, it went weirder when Lyra spoke…and oh yes, this generated questions.
“Why are they making such a big deal of her speaking?” Twilight asked, her face in an almost giggling position, but with a look of true wonder herself.
“I would not be surprised at all! I have met Miss Lyra a few times, and I must say that her music is just SIMPLY divine! She truly makes her name what she does.” Rarity commented, her face going in memories of what must have been one hell of a good classical music show. Time for me to explain, somewhat, fanatism.
“Well…let me put it this way. Lyra is a very loved pony in our community. However, since she hadn’t spoke in any of the 50 something episodes, we have always wondered how her voice was like. Plus that with the fact that this is a dramatization…yeah, we were surprised.” I told them,. I was going as far as to explain fanatism for a certain pony. I’m just glad I wouldn’t have to explain Derpy, as much as I love that pony, because my hands would be full…and probably would have a LOT of trouble to handle it properly.
“I…see…hmmmm…” The purple unicorn spoke, going in one of her “Interesting” faces. It’s been a while since she actually went to study something. In fact, she got her notepad again! Glad to know it’s something I can explain. However, the show must go on!
Then came the part when Luna came to change the shift with Celestia for guard. And for this I DID have a question myself.
“Princess Luna…where were you coming from in that moment? I mean, I am curious. You seem to be coming from the moon...but why?” I asked the princess of the night. More than one has been asking the question, and I too am curious of it. Luna however, didn’t hesitate.
“Oh, I was not coming from the moon! I had been searching the surroundings of Canterlot and a bit further away, to try and locate the enemies’ whereabouts. Of course, as you probably know, we didn’t know they were so well hidden among us…” Luna explained to me, turning her head at the end when she spoke about the “enemy” which I well knew were the changelings.
“I see…well, that makes much more sense. And you should also know that, as everyone else, you’re very loved in the community, and you pretty much enchanted us after the chapter of Nightmare Night.” I told her, giggling a bit at the memories of the hilarious chapter…not so much to whom was the protagonist of such story.
“Oh no…you mean to tell me you also saw that?...” Luna asked back, a mortified look on her face, to which I just nodded, and sent the younger sister to the floor in shame, much like Twilight had done before. Apparently, she wasn’t over that episode…why does she look so CUTE when embarrassed?!
“Don’t worry Princess Luna! We had a lot of fun back then, didn’t we?!” Pinkie cheered in an attempt to make the princess feel better, which worked because said dark blue pony smiled and recovered.
“Yes…but, I am not too proud of that moment…however funny it might have been for others.” Luna said, she too chuckling a bit despite the small blush on her face.
“If anything, we all thought it was rather cute. That, and your voice at first became a sort of fun thing to use, in a way.” I told Luna, who blushed a little more.
All also came in a rather interesting turn of faces when the “voodoo magic” came into play…more importantly, Trivium’s creepy face.
Fluttershy just went and hid, Spike did he’s “Dude that’s creepy” face, Celestia and Luna were rather…amused? Confused? I couldn’t tell. Applejack and Rainbow WERE amused however, both of them giggling at the images that they were seeing, which probably means that were taking this with the level of seriousness that I wanted them to take them, AKA almost none, Rarity was a bit “Isn’t that just a TAD too much?”, and I don’t even know how to describe that, Pinkie was laughing and going all “Weeee! Voodoo magic!” and finally, Twilight was smiling. Silent but she was smiling. At least, it wasn’t anything bad.
After came the part of Luna’s warning, with said person in real life blushing again at the…erm…”WE REQUEST LUNA!” part of the shouts. Of course, since there was a mention to Twilight’s action, said pony wanted to clarify herself.
“It’s not as if Princess Luna would have believed me at the time…I just wished I had used a better way of doing it.” Twilight once again lamented, but not as sad as before. This time however, she earned a smile from the spoken of princess, which she returned. And then, to my joy, they both laughed at the “STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!” part. I’m getting the succe-Murphy!...AWAY WITH YOU!
When the “EEEEVILLL!” part came however, there was an interesting both sided reaction from Twilight. Because she was sighing all the time, but couldn’t help but chuckle when the “EVIILLLLL!” part came, and so did the rest.
“Your race does have a lot of imagination. I can see that much.” Celestia commented in an amused voice. Apparently, she was starting to enjoy this better than before, and from what I could realize, so were the others.
Then came the part of Shining’s terrifying announcement. With it came the big group hug from Twilight’s friends, and Spike, and a comforting wing from Celestia.
“Don’t be sad sugarcube. We’re still sorry for that awful thing we did back then.” Applejack told her purple friend in an apologetic manner.
“Oh dear Celestia, I still can’t BELIEVE we were so horrible to you!” Rarity almost shouted, a look of indignation at herself, and her voice looking for Twilight’s forgiveness, even though I’m pretty sure that point had been long past by now.
“Yeah. Next time we see you running out so quickly to a bride saying “She’s EVIL!” we’ll believe you.” Rainbow promised, a bit of a chuckle from both her and Twilight, but she too with regret in her face.
“Twi’, remind me to follow you whenever you go to investigate so that you have more than one to have credit for.” Spike told her boss/big sister, which earned a smile from said pony and tighter hug.
“We should have trusted you. We should know better than to not do so when you’re so upset.” Was what Fluttershy said, doing what I think was a remembrance of the time when Twilight went insane in Lesson Zero, and she too with regret in her voice, even more than it could sound with her voice.
“She didn’t like cupcakes! Everypony loves cupcakes! Next time somepony doesn’t like them and you say “She’s not a good pony!”, then I better think she’s a meanypants!” Pinkie proclaimed, earning a small laughter in the entire group.
“It was not your task to find out who the enemy was. Nor to see if there was an infiltrated pony. That was my task. And I’m sorry I misjudged you when I had trusted you in so many occasions. I really am sorry, my faithful student” Celestia said to Twilight, having a more regretful face than any other in the room. Now there was one problem with all this. I was DYING of cuteness. And I won’t hold on much longer. So, with one of the most cuddly, cute and correct hugs in history, I told a little statement.
“You know, I’m pretty sure many of us felt like that so…we can imagine what you went through. Hence why even though we…erm…exaggerated the reactions, we didn’t exactly felt happy. This is one of the reasons why we liked your stories so much. Because none of us saw that coming…and would pretty much feel like that if something like what happened to you Twilight. I’m pretty sure that we wouldn’t have someone getting abandoned over a wedding…but, there are people out there who do feel like everyone abandoned them.” Was what I said to them.
“I’m just glad that was over with.” Twilight said, her face in relief and joy after the little group hug that ensued in my house, and that makes my camera the biggest SOB for being missing WHEN I NEED IT!
After that, they nodded to me, so as to signal me that I could continue the video.
Of course, when Evil Cadance got on the scene…
“Remember when I said that originally, ponies in my world are assumed to be related to little girls?..Yeah, this pretty much tries to tore apart that statement.” I told them, all of them nodding in agreement, and got a little “What he said!” from Spike, Applejack and Rainbow Dash when PhillyPu said his insult…I’m getting worried that they recognized it so easily…at least they don’t know the correct word, nor what it means. As long as they know that it’s an insult and nothing more, then it’s okay…for now.
Then there was the small break, that everyone laughed a little again, and even got a comment on how close it was to be a sort of comedy, which I think would make ACRacebest VERY proud, and got a mental shout of “SUCCESS!” for me.
Then came the next part of the episode…and once again, with Twilight and her logical question.
“Why would that human say he was talking about him?” Twilight asked me. Is it possible she missed the name? “Wait…OHHHH…because of the name….I get it (giggle)” She finished. Excellent! They’re starting to catch the stuff faster.
However, all went to “WTF?!” when Solrac did his singing of This Day Aria…like he knows best.
“What in the name of all that’s oats and cereal….” Applejack managed to take out. The agreement came in the form of all the characters in the room with “WTF?!” faces plastered over…well, in the case of Celestia and Luna, a blank face. That was all they could do while Solrac “sang”. Meanwhile, I was having a hard time NOT dropping on the floor and just laugh my ass off…Meh, whatever. I’ll do it anyway.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAA! LONG LIVE SOLRAC SCREAMING! YEAH!” I screamed as loud as I could, raising my hand in a victory pose. However, after my “YEAH!” induced moment, I looked to see I had freaked out anyone. If anybody had asked, the question would have been “Who DIDN’T you freak out?”, and the answer would have been Pinkie. She was the only one laughing. The rest, the faces they used with Solrac, the same they used with me.
“HAHAHAHA! That was so funny!” Pinkie exclaimed, she too rolling on the floor laughing. I would have said “thank you”, but the faces around her weren’t exactly the ones you would just go normal about something.
“Eh…heh heh…you will realize that a) we can be crazy sometimes, b) we have not only a large imagination, but we can have a weird imagination, and c)…I like to laugh.” I told them, a nervous smile across my face that would have been worthy of an anime character. Since the faces and silence kept all the same, I kept talking so as to at least ensure a reaction…if they aren’t broken yet. Which for my and their sake, I hope not. “You should just keep on watching to try and hear how the real song is.” I told them, trying to keep the composure, because by now, their faces were starting to make me laugh.
All changed when comments with the real song started. I agree with most of the people who say the same thing. Villains almost always have the best songs.
“I must agree that the voices are quite good…as much as it is her who is the villain…” Rarity admitted, her face full of uncertainty. Apparently, the fact that the villain has a great voice for singing is a bit difficult to digest. However, I expected Celestia to say something, but when I looked to see at her, her face was as if she had an epiphany, full of surprise, head up, and face of realization.
“…I believe I will have a word with the guards that were around Cadance’s room, when I get back to the castle…” Celestia said, a voice that was very serious and that meant REAL business. But what brought her to…oh…right…fake Cadance’s singing SHOULD have brought some attention, right?...I fear for the guards in the castle right now…I really do. Luna looked at her sister and went to say something, but then she looked twice at her face, and closed her mouth. She must have probably realized that it would be impossible to convince her otherwise, especially if she started thinking the same thing.
When Queen Chrysalis went in the frame I got a little comment from Rainbow saying “I’m not sure about you…but, I think those were our reactions when that happened...even from me…” to which I totally agreed, my surprise for her, admitting that aside. However, when IBringdaLULZ’s reaction came in the screen…there was a freaking CHORUS!...Not to mention, my smile at his reaction was not hidden…AT ALL.
“Why is he smiling when she reveals herself?” Was what EVERYONE said at the same time. Why must we love the villains?
“Well…I said that we loved a lot of the characters from your world…and this includes villains. You’d be surprised how many would probably be rooting for her instead of you Princess Celestia.” I explained to them, which got a big “What?!” from all of them…and which got Celestia into a big “…Wut?” face. I think she might be broken…uh oh.
“Are you kidding me?!” Twilight exclaimed, absolute disbelief in her face.
“(Sigh)…Let me put it in terms for some of you to understand. Rainbow if there were two characters, one bad and one good, and the bad guy is the cooler one, who would you want to win, if it was a story?” I asked the racing fan, trying to get some understanding from at least ONE of them.
“Well…I think the bad guy…but ONLY if it was in a story.” Rainbow replied, her face showing hesitation, but finally responding at the end.
“Well, this is what happens here. We thought this was a story. Therefore, most of us always end up rooting for someone, depending on who we like the most.” I explained to them. This got Rainbow into thinking before she asked me a question herself.
“Who do YOU root for Arcanel?” She asked me, a semi smug look on her face.
“Why Princess Celestia of course! I always did, and will always do. But then again, you’re asking that to a person who is intelligent enough to know not to say something bad of her in front of you, let alone in front of her. But I really always do root for her.” I told her, with as much truth as I could imply in my voice. My dear Celestia, fret not. You’ll always have a fervent follower here…but I should probably not tell them that if Discord was here, I would be so glad. I can’t help it if the guy is so freaking awesome!
This left Rainbow checking my face from up close, but deciding to drop and just go back to her position in watching. Meanwhile, Celestia had recovered from her state of shock and was smiling at me now.
“Thank you Arcanel.” She told me, making name blush like mad once more.
“No problem!” I chirped, happy to see Celestia smile again and not in a state of almost traumatic shock. Hey, I may be embarrassed, but I at least know how to react to this…even if it’s still weird to me.
Then came the part where Celestia laser-fought Chrysalis. In this part she first blushed when they were all cheering for her and then sighted when she saw herself lost, and then went blank at IBringdaLULZ cheering for Chrysalis once more. I think she will need another mind after all this.
“(sigh) I cannot believe I lost against her…I underestimated her power.” Celestia said, lamenting her loss against the bad girl in that moment.
“It was not your fault sister. She had got too powerful without you knowing…do not blame yourself.” Luna told her sister, trying to cheer her up. This made Celestia smile after her words, but I could still see a small amount of regret in her face…and I think at least Twilight and Luna saw it too…oh man, I should have showed them something that wouldn’t bring so many memories to them. Maybe I should stop.
“Ummm…do you want me to stop the video? I don’t want you to remember something that makes you sad. That wouldn’t be okay, it is not okay, and it isn’t fair for you.” I told them. Last thing I wanted is to have a bunch of lovable, adorable ponies sad in my house for something I did, especially if it was because of nostalgia. The response surprised me though.
“Do not worry Mr. Arcanel. This may have been a distraught moment for us...but we won in the end and seeing back again from a different perspective is quite interesting. I want to say that even if I see it again, I shall be okay. Especially if I know the outcome of it. Besides, while strange, the comments from the humans were quite…interesting, for lack of a better word.” Celestia told me, smiling at me. They all seemed to agree because they all nodded, Luna included. This made me smile on both the inside and the outside. Maybe I got it right then…either that, or I’m missing something. In this moment, both work for me!
“Very well then. I’m glad to hear so.” I replied to her, happy for the fact that I have not traumatized them…somehow. I am wondering just how the HELL did nothing happen. Oh well, better not question it further.
As the video continued, we went through the rest of the comments in the same moment leading one pissed off Rarity to say, “How DARE they call her OLD?! That is OUTRAGEOUS!” and with Luna and Twilight saying “Yeah!”, which by the way was very funny, and made me wish a “Run like HELL!” to ACR, and then through what I think is the best part of the whole two episodes. The Mane Six VS the changelings…so AWESOME! (Anybody else wants that fight to be a Pay-Per-View event?).
Of course, the “Double Rainbow” thing, did not go unnoticed.
“Why that “double rainbow” thing?” The cyan colored pegasus asked. I’m just GLAD nobody said something about Skittles or something. That would have been MUCH harder to explain…or…so I think.
“It has to do with a song called the same way…and since your name has “rainbow”, your mane and tail are rainbow-colored, and you can create rainbows…it was hard not to do the connection. You’re just that awesome” I told her. It was the truth really. Besides, she IS awesome. Who else creates freaking rainbows?!
“Of course I’m awesome! Why wouldn’t I be?” Rainbow said, puffing her chest with pride, and making Applejack just roll her eyes. If I wasn’t having fun before, I am now.
Everything was going actually very good in the fight. Twilight had actually explained to me that changelings could be both male or female, so that was out of the way, and were actually laughing at some of the parts in it, because they really looked funny, when you looked them on this perspective and with comments on the side, especially with the Fluttershy scene, where said pony was blushing like mad in the room, but she too smiling. And then came the…erm…”kiss”
“What the hay is he talking about?! That was a kiss on the cheek and that was it!...Wait…don’t tell that you thought that was a…” Rainbow stopped before continuing and went straight to look at me. The rest was not fairing any better. In fact there was disappointment coming from everyone in the room, except from Pinkie, who apparently thought the idea wasn’t THAT bad, and Fluttershy was just blushing even more than before, laying on the floor and just saying “Oh my…”. Pretty much…screwed even more than any villain who confronted the good guys at max power. The good thing is, I’m not a bad guy. Therefore, I’m not afraid to beg for mercy and pray that they won’t attack me.
“Please don’t hurt me! Yes, it’s true. There is people out there who thought that was a kiss, as in a real one, but we couldn’t help it. If you saw it from here, you can barely realize anything. Besides…there’s people who imagine who would be with who. And that includes YOU. After that little image in the episode….it kind of strengthened the thoughts for anyone who thinks that you and Fluttershy would be…um...an “item”. I told them, praying to all the heavens, hells, and even purgatories to save me from an unwanted death at the hands of a pissed off pegasus.
“I’m guessing this is what meant by weird imagination…RIGHT?” Rainbow said, still in a pissed off tone, and I couldn’t blame her at all, and still a bit fuming. I think it’s best if I try to make the subject as less…bad, as possible.
“Well…yeah. There’s little we haven’t imagined. It’s best if try and keep the subject out of your minds. You DON’T want to ask me what we could have possibly imagined. You don’t want to know. There’s little that escapes our minds. And as much as it may be strange for you, it’s not so much for us. It’s just that, we have always thought that were fictional. Therefore, any thoughts of you existing that could impede us from imagining it, aren’t there. And even then it could still happen. Imagine for example reading a book. Luna, Rarity, Twilight, you may understand this a bit better. Whenever you read something that has two really compelling characters, and you think that they could go together, wouldn’t you wish it so?” I explained to them, trying to get the “shipping” matters not get out of hand. My words made the asked ponies start to think.
“Well…it is true that if two characters have the absolute potential to be together, I would not stop my mind from wishing it so…” Rarity admitted, her face still thinking of anything that makes sense to say.
“Indeed. It’s nothing uncommon when I find myself wishing two ponies would actually be together...in fact, I almost embrace it sometimes. I would not be surprised if one time I would start writing such things.” Luna also admitted, actually surprising me with her last statement. Looks like the first writer in fanfiction would be Luna, so to speak. Twilight apparently saw that anything she could say, had been already said, so she just nodded. I managed to get things back on track. I still got this.
“(Sigh) as I have said before, we don’t mean to insult anyone. We just happen to have thoughts like that. Is that okay with you Rainbow? Fluttershy?” I asked them, hoping for a positive response this time. Fortunately, Rainbow backed off.
“I guess…but there better not be anything more weird than this or I’m not going to be happy.” Rainbow semi-threatened me. I’m okay with that…must not make mistakes in the future.
“Y-Yes..” Was all Fluttershy whispered. She went back to her standing position, but she was still blushing. I would too if I were her, I guess.
“Thank you.” I said, relief once again washing over my body. This had been one hell of a close call, even more than before…and I’m just glad I managed to handle this.
Then came the part where Pinkie Pie just kicked changeling flank all over again with Twilight gatling gun. Of course, I could not pass this chance up, especially if I wanted to break the mood a little.
“You know Pinkie? He is right. If you can make Twilight become a machine of lasers and actually use a party cannon to attack, then I’m sure that you could join any group of offense as a reinforcement.” I told the pink party pony, who in turn smiled.
“Why fight something being all boring? You don’t have fun, then it’s not a true fight!” Pinkie proclaimed. I’m pretty sure that was one of her philosophies in life. Twilight was also blushing a bit. I’m pretty sure that suddenly becoming an instant machine gun was a strange moment for her. I think it’s best if I don’t ask just how that happened or anything else. For Twilight’s sake. I also took the time to just tell them that they were awesome, which ensued in a “Thanks” from the mane six. I think Celestia and Luna also enjoyed the moment because they hadn’t seen the fight. I would almost bet that if they had popcorn, it would disappear in a second.
When the fight had subsided, we went straight for the love stuff. AKA, Cadance and Shining Armor…AKA, PhillyPu saying the one thing that would put me in the frying pan…again.
“Cadance would never do such a thing nor would she ever BE like that evil being!” Twilight AND Celestia said at the same time, enraged at the sole fact of Cadance being compared to Queen Chrysalis. Yep, I’m in the frying pan yet once more…stupid logic and our imagination…
“We know, we know! He’s just kidding! Remember, this is just for fun. He’s not actually saying she is like her.” ’Or at least I don’t think so.’ “It’s just a little joking thought. After all, we know Princess Cadance would never do such a thing.” I assured the offended ponies, so as to try and calm the situation. It worked because they went from enraged to just a little mad. Then Celestia just sighed, Twilight following suit. I’m REALLY starting need something to keep up the pace with ALL the moments that would have spelled doom for me.
When Cadance and Shining Armor united powers to get Chrysalis and changelings the heck out of Equestria, or at least FAR FAR away, we pretty much laughed at the reactions that the guys did, even Celestia and Twilight, who apparently forgot their mad moment a few seconds ago, especially the ones from ACR and IBringdaLULZ. Ahhhh…the moments there…so freaking true!
And then came the moment for me to question Luna again.
“Um…Princess Luna…where WERE you, when all that happened?” I asked, making the question that at least half the bronies, if not all of us, have wondered ever since the episode. There weren’t a lot of many logical reasons as of to WHY she could have missed the fight, and all that. Or it could be another added thing from the show that Lauren Faust made for to make us laugh. Luna however, responded quite casually.
“Oh, Chrysalis had trapped me like she had done to Celestia. But since she was afraid that me and Celestia together, even when trapped, could do something to free ourselves, she sent me to a different part of Canterlot. I could only free myself after Shining Armor and Cadance repelled the changelings and the queen.” She explained to me. Okay…that actually makes perfect sense…huh…never thought of that.
“Thanks for clearing that. It’s just that many of us were wondering where you were if you missed the whole thing. And as you can see, many of us expected to see you in the bigger frame.” I told her, giggling at the last part, which again made her blush. I wonder, if she were to meet her fans, would she use the Traditional Canterlot Voice?
After the explaining of the most questioned moment, so to speak, then came the revelation of the true color of Vinyl Scratch’s eyes. After they saw all the reactions, there were of course questions.
“Why do they make such a big deal of her eyes?” Rainbow asked. Okay, I was expecting the question from someone else…but, I think that if anyone would wonder that, it would be Rainbow or Pinkie.
“Well…before we saw her eyes, we had ALWAYS thought that her eye color was red. So, when they actually showed that her eye color was magenta…yeah, it surprised us. Especially, since the people who make the show have been in a lot of interaction from us. So, we thought it was their doing, and that they had actually seen that we thought Vinyl Scratch’s eyes were red. Hence the surprise.” I explained to them. Rainbow was apparently satisfied with my answer…but I’m just really weirded out by the fact that Twilight nor Luna nor Celestia nor anybody else had asked something more. I think they are starting to get used to the ideas..that, or they just missed it.
Then came, as Trivium put it, psycho Rarity. Of course, the spoken of mare was more than embarrassed.
“Oh dear…that is NOT a moment I’m proud of…” The white unicorn said, her face telling that she was not pleased at all with her little reaction.
“(Giggle) Don’t worry Rarity! Besides, this was something you always dreamed of. Participating in a wedding, and what an important wedding. I’m pretty sure that you could forget the manners for that little second. You’re more than justified.” I told her, trying to cheer her up, and actually succeeding, in that she gave me a smile, so as to say “thank you”. By now, I was getting more comfortable to try and not make them weird out…but given the circumstances, bragging is something I should not do, because I don’t like it, and because I’ll doom myself.
Then we laughed a little when Jaxblade just went to sing the song as if he was in a concert…I even started to join him, because, let’s admit it, the song IS catchy. And hell, Twilight and the rest of the mane six started singing too….MY DREAM COME TRUE! I would so brag about this…if I was a moral bastard. But since I’m not, I’ll be good. Celestia, Luna and Spike all went to just hear the music, the baby dragon even starting to dance a little. To tell the truth, “Love is in Bloom” sang by all six ponies was just a tad weird, but awesome nonetheless.
Then came the end where they all explained what were there thoughts on the finale and all that. Of course, there was one more thing that went to appear. Orchestral Design…you Octavia fan. There was a small laugh after his table flip, and then came the obvious question
“Did he just say Octavia? As in-“ Was what Rarity was saying until I interrupted her.
“Yup. Octavia as in the cellist. When I said that there was love for a lot of you, I wasn’t lying.” I told them, laughing a bit at the last part. This made Rarity impressed. Apparently, she did not expect much knowledge…even after the video. This is not going into their minds that easily.
“Well, that’s the end of the video. Did you enjoy it?” I told them, almost starting to cross my fingers for the positive response. And I got a simple response, from the ever wise white alicorn.
“I must admit that was expecting something much different when you said something about reactions…but nonetheless, it was enjoyable. Even though it had its certain…strange factor, it was quite interesting. I can see that you really have been watching us and that you had done nothing that would say something bad about us.” Celestia said, sounding almost like a speech for a gathering. And it was awesome. If anybody else had anything else to say, apparently Princess Celestia had already told it because nobody else said anything, they just nodded. Four down, only one to go.
“I’m glad you could enjoy it. It was something that I guessed to show because it shows our true nature, in a way. More specifically with you, but as a general as well. Now, I have shown you what we can write, compose, and even animate based on you…there’s only one thing left that I can show, and that is, what we can draw and paint. In this video, added with the song as the background, is what I think would be a perfect slideshow of imagination. You can watch it as that. But once again, expect the unexpected.” I explained to them. This was going to be the most emotional thing after My Little Dashie, but I was confident on this one. My words brought interest one more time to the face, but the ones more intrigued were that of Rarity and Celestia. Probably the ones who like the art more. Let us not disappoint…I just hope it won’t be too much. If it gives me the chills every time I see/hear this…
(I was skeptical when I saw the name. Since I have to check anyway to see what it is, I did just that…and I am SO glad I was wrong on what it was. Traintrax, you just gave the perfect closure video and for that, thanks a lot dude!).
The moment I put the video, I prepared the hair of my body for instant chills. It always happens when I see it, it will definitely happen now. Of course, I just couldn’t vanish into “So…awesome…” world because I had 9 magical beings to take care of their reactions. At first it wasn’t that much what they showed, aside from the occasional “Woah”…seconds later, that all changed. The only thing that you would hear in that moment was an orchestra of “What?” “Woah” and “I look so awesome!”, the last one of course, coming from Rainbow in several times. Pretty much, all they could do was, say that, and stay with their jaws and eyes very wide open, from Spike to the mane six, passing through the royal sisters. It was like that the entire video, and I could have sworn that they had chills too, but unless I suddenly acquire microscopic vision to see that, and I become a total creep, then I will never know. They were all stricken. I don’t think because of grief, but because of the sole sensation of the video, plus the images, plus the music. It was something that many would feel, I’m sure of it. And given that it is them we are talking about, I would not doubt it for one second. Nor should anybody.
“Well…what do you think?” I asked them. I think that came out more nonchalantly than I expected, especially because this usually makes my heart start beating faster and all that, but I WAS tired after all this, and now that I think about it, it was getting late. However I got the responses that I expected.
“By the stars…that was gorgeous…SIMPLY gorgeous…and I also must admit that the black suit would be PERFECT for me.” Rarity sighed. She looked FAR impressed with the images and I could see a small amount of tears in her eyes. I’m not surprised at all. There’s some people out there that can draw some AMAZING stuff. Mix it up with the music...and you have emotions.
“Ah can’t say that ah didn’t like it…that would be lying from my whole self, and that ain’t good.” Was all Applejack said. She was speaking calmly and with her hat poised down. I wasn’t sure what that meant, but I had a good guess that she too was quite touched.
“Amazing…to think that things like this could be created…to give such an emotional atmosphere…it is almost unbelievable from just images and music…” Celestia too sighed, her face in absolute wonder, and I could have sworn that I was seeing just the teensy bit of tears. I would not be surprised. Especially after that image where Twilight was fighting Celestia. That would make anyone break a little…I’m sure of it.
“Those images…we are seen in every way possible. We are the good, the evil, no one escapes…but the sole fact that someone could imagine it, and even make it in an image so well...they make art the true form of expression.” Luna commented, her face not looking so much as shock, but even more than that. I would not be able to describe it if I wanted to.
“Wow…just…wow. I mean, they made me so awesome in those images…where were these guys when I was bragging my feats?!” Rainbow jokingly complained. She was the least affected by the emotions…of course, apparently, now she wanted humans in their world…oh how so many people would accept right then and there!
“I know that I should be taking it not so seriously…but…it just seems… so real…(sniff)” Fluttershy whispered, sniffing and letting a few tears fall from her eyes. I can’t take it too long…I can understand her absolutely…it’s just that…she looks so affected…
“…The situations drawn…they look so real…almost if it had happened…thank Celestia it isn’t that way…” Twilight said, shuddering a bit at the end. I’m guessing that she as well as Celestia got affected by the same image…and probably for the whole thing as well.
“That…was…” Was all Pinkie Pie could say. For the first time in a while, I saw her completely speechless, and with almost tears in her eyes as well…I got Pinkie AND Fluttershy in tears…I beg for forgiveness in the depths of hell…
“Woah…I don’t even how you can DO stuff like that…” Spike commented, he too not as affected as others…then again, he didn’t appear so much in it…but I’m guessing some of the stuff shown here will be staying with him. I don’t know if “FOREEEEVEEEER!”, but for a good while, I’m sure of it.
I didn’t really have anything else to say. It was a moment of silence for me after that. This had gone FAR better than I could have ever expected. And I could not be gladder for that. I could probably say that this will end a good day…I just hope I don’t jinx it.
THIS...IS…DOOOONE! Oh man, this SHOULDN’T have taken so long. It really shouldn’t have. I was out when I could have written, I got mini writer’s blocks, but mostly, I SUPER procrastinated. I have no excuse, so again, I’m sorry. I just hope I make up for it with this chapter. That’s about as much as I can say for now. This took FOREVER, I just want to put it up NOW. Anyway, next chapter, will be more important for the plot…and I hope you won’t kill me for it XD. I can only hope so. Anyway, I’m out. You know the catchphrase: Comment, R&R, let your inner Grammar nazi out, throw whatever ideas you have at me, haters ignored, flamers abhorred, etc, etc. CPM out.
