//------------------------------// // Embarrassing Moments // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// The most embarrassing thing happened to me today. ^^’ After getting my submission documents in order, I went to spend the afternoon with the other newbies of my class (and ForceFeedback ;)). We grabbed something to eat and went to the park. We started talking about what experience we’ve had in music and so on, and then I suddenly get a great idea: let’s form a practice band. So far so good, right? Well, nope! Because when I decided to share my thoughts I practically shouted “hey, everybody!” There’s was a sudden silence. They all stared at me as I had hay in my teeth... and I went “umm, I perform Humie Songs”. (Worst save ever!) ^^ Good thing ForceFeedback was there to lend a hoof. All he had to say is that we read humiefiction together for everyone to go “ooooh!” :P (Looks like it's only okay to read humiefiction if it’s together with your coltfriend.) Anyway, after that terrible experience (and a talk with ForceFeedback) I got a great idea! So without further ado, here are my top 10 signs that you’ve been reading MC too much (all of them have happened :P). 10. You start saying everybody when talking to friends 9. When you see a copy of MC in a bookstore you wonder which volume it’s from 8. When you hear colts discussion who’s best human you feel the urge to join in the conversation 7. When someone tells you they’re hoping something to happen you say “fingers crossed” 6. When you go in a library you want to ask when Everhere 2 will be our 5. Each time you pass through the Canterlot Gardens you wonder is Poseidon won’t pop up 4. You casually say “hi five” 3. You end every argument with “but what would MixaMax say?” 2. Whenever you see anything relating to Tirek you start thinking about DarkSparkle 1. When some stallion acts like a diva you tell him to “stop being a Bellucio” There you go :P Any embarrassing moments you’ve had? SweetStuff My sides! *yay*! You go, filly! I can’t believe you actually did these! Number 8 is a classic :) I think I’ve also had a 2 moment once. Feather That moment when... You meet somepony named Caprice and the only question on your mind is “Did you move past Blazen?” Somepony (on a train) asks for a water bottle and five random strangers (in clouding you and a fifty-year old stallion) sound in unison “shut up, Eric!” You find a that someone has written “portal to Earth” in the restaurant restroom. You see a desert called “Earth Cake” on the menu and think of MC. You decided to order “Earth Cake” from the menu and it turns out it’s what you thought it would be (@GLGJ, you’re so sneaky!) You year a five-year old filly singing “Princess Jennifer” on the street. The mother of said filly looks at you apologetically and says “she uses the aethernet a lot” (even if you know that it’s probably a lie) And now my personal favorite: That moment when you’re in a coffee shop and hear two random mares complaining how their story was rejected unjustly by RRBB... a table away fro, where you are! RRBB That reminds me of this one time when I was at a signing after a show, and a pair of stallions ask that I sign their merch “from Euryala” It was hilarious! (I so did it, by the way!) And what was better, CEOWitch the idiot sees this (he’s at the next table beside me), and goes “Wow! Blazen will be mad once you get back home.” It was so funny! :) Fleetfoot Umm... I have some really embarrassing ones :( WaterBottle @WaterBottle: you said it, sis. JustAHuman 10. A very young colt asks his parents if you’re a human 9. Said parents try to explain it away (but careful not to say humans aren’t real) and slip up saying “he’s just a taur” (we all know what you’re reading :P) 8. You go to a jewelry store and ask if they have some evergems (just to see the look on their face) 7. When one clerk says that they do and then brings you five gems of the same shape and colour as described in MCE (Big shoutout to @EverGemmer :)) 6. You’re at the spa and you see that one of the seats has a “reserved for Bellucio” sticker on it 5. When you see somepony carrying a full body pillow with a picture of Danny on it (and you can tell the name of the artist who drew it!) 4. When you look at any stringed musical instrument and think “Humans sure have it easy” 3. It’s the middle of the night and you hear DarkSparkle talking about Eric in her sleep, while sleepwalking! 2. You order a hay burger, stare at it and shout “O!M!G! Hay is made of humans!” (And watch half the ponies go “What?!”) 1. You go to a random pony and ask if they believe in Poseidon, creator or all equines. :P EverSpike @EverSpike: some of those are really mean. :/ I didn’t have any embarrassing moments, although when I’ve tried to draw in the open I’ve had several ponies tell me I’m really good and I should start posting on the EqF site. :P PaintDrop @PaintDrop: nah, it was fine :) We all had a good laugh. :D EverSpike That moment when... 5. You’re asked if Prince Blueblood isn’t actually a human who transformed upon entering Equestria 4. Ponies tell you of a secret Felina conspiracy by the S.G.U. To topple the Princesses. 3. You say “I feel like Megan” and half the guards agree, and a few ask “But who’s Cassandra?” 2. A filly asks if you can raise the sun like Zeus (at the morning sunrise ceremony). 1. You get a petition demanding you introduce human tech to Equestria faster (and has ninety thousand signatures) Celestia That moment when you announce that Danny is your boyfriend and lock the thread before the silliness gets completely out of control.
