//------------------------------// // Filli-mahi Part 1 // Story: Twilight Gets a Puppy, Season 4 // by TDR //------------------------------// Twilight Gets a Puppy Season 4 By TDR Filli-mahi Part 1 [Ponyville] Rahs Sparkle was annoyed. This was starting to be a trend. The stage presence and singing he had no problem with, he reveled in that. The singing wasn't much of an issue either, his stage training allowed him to harmonize perfectly and his tone, while not quite as deep as Big Mac's, was more than enough to do the job. Rarity was a perfectionist which while annoying, he was used to. He wasn't much a fan of the outfits. It might also have to do with the fact that the uniform had to be re-tailored with him in it to hide his wings, the horn on his head was a lost cause despite his long mane. Ehh what ever, one must suffer for their art and all that. They had indeed gotten every pet adopted as well, which had Fluttershy happy, and a giddy Fluttershy was something to see. She seemed a little worried about the stallion that adopted the tiger, though that seemed mostly due to the precarious eyebrow ring he had. Rahs was however highly annoyed that he had managed a new collection of groupies including Torch Song, one of the other Ponytones. “Really? Are you sure you don't want to get a drink with me after the show?” The mare smiled nearly purring. “I will pass.” Rahs sighed wondering where the heck Rarity had wandered off to. “Are you really sure? I know a delightful little place with some private booths....” “He's spoken for. By far more than I like already.” stated Rarity. Looking around the pair took note that Rarity was coming towards them, though she was also on the other side of the stage talking with a filly and her father. “What?” Torch Song blinked, before yelping as a mass of green fire consumed the Rarity approaching them turning her into a tall pink maned changeling. “AHHH!” Torch Song yelped back peddling as Rahs rolled his eyes. “Saturnia please don't scare off the other singers. We're already down Mac.” Rahs grumbled. “Sorry. But old habits even if everyone already knows what I am I don't like to advertise it.” Saturnia sighed glaring at the mare before turning her attention fully to Rahs.”That's not a bad look for you.” “Thanks. I hate it.” Rahs muttered. “Ha. I expect so. Which is fine because normal you is a good look for you too.” Saturnia smiled.” The wings and horn are a bit much in truth. With your navy fur you look like some ones bad OC in a fan novel.” Rahs shook his head with a small smirk.”Is there something I can help you with?” “Yes actually. I've heard about your dates with Sunset and Applejack, so I would like to ask you out myself... say next Wednesday?” Saturnia nearly purred. Rahs considered before nodding.”Alright, it's only fair. Anything I should know about this?” “While I do plan for it to be a surprise I would say maybe grab something to eat first, it's a bit of a trek to where we are going even after the train ride.” “Oh. A mystery tour?” Rahs chuckled. “Trust me I'm sure you'll like it more than any of the other dates you've been on thus far.” Saturnia smiled.” And this is certain to be much better than anything Jynx or Trixie can come up with.” “Be nice.” Rahs chided. “Sorry... “Saturnia turned her head a little.” But yes, next Wednesday morning would be the best time. It might wind up as an all day thing like the Cherry Festival, and we can get some lunch along the way.” “Alright I suppose I'll see you then.” Rahs nodded watching the Changeling walk off, she paused by Torch Song and hissed at the mare suddenly, making her jump. “Saturnia!” Rahs chided as the changeling laughed. “She doesn't count!” Rahs shook his head as the real Rarity trotted back up with the other singer Toe Tapper, and a tiny filly zipping about in the air around a large stallion. “Yes well, good news darlings. Zipporwhill and her father here want us to perform at her cute-ceañera.” Rarity stated. “Oh that's good. What is it? Next week should give Mac time to recover.” Rahs offered. “Umm no.” Rarity frowned. “It's tomorrow!” The little bundle of energy zipping around in the air stated. “Yes, well I feel we can do that...” Rarity offered. “Rarity!“ Rahs snapped. “Yes Darling?” Rarity smiled. “I've already been a pony longer than I like I'm not...” Rahs hissed at her trailing off as the little filly looked up at him,clutching her new puppy in her forelegs with sad eyes. “What was that Rahs?” Rarity asked again with a wry smirk.. “You are an evil mare.” “So that's a yes!” Rarity smiled. [Crystal Empire] Shining Armor Sparkle was annoyed. Her wife was thrilled. As Was Chrysalis. “So this is what he looked like as a mare?” Very nice.” Chrysalis purred. “I know right, he keeps all his muscle tone too.” Cadence purred as well. Shining Armor was going to murder her sister. It would be fine. She's a god now, she'd come back right? “Given there's no telling how long this will last we should take full advantage of it while we can.” Cadence explained. “Oh, I agree.” Chrysalis added. Buck.. well time for plan B. “So I've been meaning to tell you that I've developed a new trick.” Shining stated with what he hoped was a seductive smile towards the two goddesses before her. “Ooh, I love the voice.” Chrysalis smiled. “Really? Is it a sexy trick?” Cadence asked. “In a sense, yes.” Shining offered, her horn glowing. “Bye.” And with that, Shining Armor vanished in a flash of teleportation. Cadence and Chrysalis stared at the spot for a moment in shock. “Since when can he teleport?” Chrysalis asked. [Ponyville] Rahs Sparkle took note of how much more face hoofing hurt with actual hooves than his paws as his hooves impacted his face again. “Rarity.......” Rahs growled. The cute-ceañera went off without any sort of hitch. Rahs was rather glad that Scootaloo had used her connections through Luna and Sweetiebelle to get Luna's contracted group Pontera to play at her cute-ceañera. instead of the Ponytones. He was completely done with this. Well he thought he was. “The mayor wants us to perform at her ribbon cutting ceremony tomorrow.” Rarity pointed out. “ We can hardly disappoint the mayor can we?” Rahs opened his mouth to protest when the mayor cut him off. “I'll waive the fine you received from that last fight you had with Angel Bunny that tore through the records office.” Mayor Mare stated flatly. “What time do you want us there?” Rahs questioned. “The Spa.... Seriously?” Rahs grumbled. “One hundred percent off the next time you need a treatment... like you do now.” Rarity offered. “Fine....” “ Well I can get the school ponies to ask you directly....” Rarity offered. “Forget it, no, you probably gave them all little teddy bears or something else to amp the cuteness.” Rahs snarled. “Last one Rarity. This is the last one, Big Mac's voice is back he's just been told to take it easy for a day or two more, he can pick up were he left off.” “Alright darling. Last one.” Rarity admitted. “You call that singing? I've heard frogs with better tones.” Adagio pointed out and laughed. Aria rolled her eyes and Sonata stared at Rahs having the odd feeling she had seen him before. The trio had come into Ponyville in time to catch the Ponytones show and afterwards Adagio had started talking crap, riling up the group before throwing down a gauntlet of challenge. Rarity and the other Ponytones were highly annoyed. “Rarity.”Rahs stated.”One more.” “Yes, I know Rahs I promised one more we can get Big Mac in this and we can still beat them...” Rarity trailed off. “No Rarity.” Rahs added with a bit more emphasis as he growled. “'One' more.” “Oh..... oh of course.” Rarity smiled.”I suppose a proper thespian such as yourself doesn't like having their stage presence questioned.” Rahs blinked at her and smiled as she under stood that. Of course now he had to get Applejack involved, because those three cheated.
