Author: Samaru163

Prompt: It’s rainin’ colts! Hallelujah it’s raining colts!

Title: The Day It Rained


It started out as any other day in Ponyville; birds were singing, ponies were playing, and Twilight was forcing her “assistant” Spike to “help” her complete her daily checklist. They had just finished purchasing a month’s worth of paint to fix up the library after Pinkie’s last party when Twilight had the funniest feeling that something weird was about to happen.
Suddenly there was a loud crash behind them, which was quickly followed by a moan of pain. Twilight spun around to find a purple Earth Pony stallion on the broken remains of some shrubbery. Quickly she lifted him up while Spike, for who knows what reason, tried to put the shrub back together.
“Where’d you come from?” Twilight asked the dazed stallion. He pointed to the sky, groaning with every move. Twilight followed his hoof and her jaw dropped. A giant purple storm cloud was hovering above Ponyville, and hundreds of stallions were falling from it! Quick as she could Twilight gathered Spike in her magic and teleported back to the library. The moment they did a stallion landed on Spike reconstructed shrub, which looked like Rarity.

It was chaos all over town! Everywhere ponies were running for cover as the rain of stallions continued. It was so bad that Lily ended up fainting again (strangely not a single one hit her). Rarity fared pretty well under her umbrella and simply went along oblivious to her surroundings. A pegasus team led by Rainbow Dash attempted to clear the cloud, but were quickly grounded by the onslaught of stallions. In the end, Ponyville was destroyed!

“What the heck did I just read?” Games Master thought as she was closing the book her twin had written. Festivities looked at her with as much enthusiasm as physically possible.
“So you like it?”
“Well it defiantly needs improvements.”
“Like how?”
“Well how about a clear cut ending, or more than one page of writing?” Games Master critiqued. “And then there’s the premise, why are stallions falling in the first place? It’s stupid.”
Festivities simply looked at her twin and smiled. “You’re just upset because it will never happen.”
“And why would I want something this stupid to happen?”
“Because how else would you ever get a guy!”
