//------------------------------// // Season 2: Episode 11 - Sunset Snippits II // Story: My Little Pony: When Friendship Shimmers - Reboot // by RobtheMorpherPony //------------------------------// Secret of my Excess AU "This is admittedly a lot of gifts." Ray said. "You feeling okay, bro?" He asked. "Yeah. Mostly thanks to the tips you've been giving me." Spike said. "Out of curiousity, what tips has Ray been giving Spike?" Rarity asked Sunset. "How to keep his draconic urges to practice greed from taking a hold of him. Heck, Ray's helped Spike create a hoard so that greed can't effect Spike." Sunset said. "Wow, that's so cool." Sweetie Belle said. "So, there's no danger of Spike suddenly turning into a giant rampaging monster." Sunset said. "...Less cool." Sweetie Belle said. "Hey, if it matters, it means your coltfriend will consider you a part of that hoard." Ray teased. "So Ray, how's Smolder been treating you?" Spike suddenly teased back. "Wha--SPIKE!" Ray said before the two dragons wrestled with each other. "I'll never understand romance." Scootaloo said. Hearth's Warming Eve "So Sunset, why weren't you given a part?" Ray asked. "I may not have been one of the actors, but I did do something to help the play." Sunset said. "Huh? But I didn't see you." Sweetie Belle said. "That was by design: She was managing the stage props and background transitions. Not to mention the special effects." Spike said. "...Scootaloo.mlp will stop working now." Scootaloo said before fainting. "What?" Diamond Tiara asked. Her mother had fainted too. "Huh. I had wondered where all the special effects came from. After all, why put on a play if your not going to put on the special effects." Apple Bloom said. "...Diamond_Tiara.mlp will stop working now." Diamond Tiara said before fainting. Family Appreciation Day "And THAT story, Spoiled Rich, is why I'm hoping the relationship between our family and the apple family can stay strong. Because if it wasn't for them and the Zap Apple Jam as a seasonal item, Banyard Bargins would not be the success it is today. Not by a long shot." Filthy Rich noted. "...Spoiled_Rich.mlp will stop working now..." Spoiled Rich said before fainting. "That's like the second time your mom has fainted within the span of the past week. Is she going to be okay?" Apple bloom asked. "I think so. But I really do not enjoy this bunny costume." Diamond Tiara said. "It irritates the heck out of me." She added. "Oh. You probably have sensitive skin or something. I'll talk with Granny about it right away." Apple Bloom said before going to do just that. "...Wow, she really cares about me..." Diamond Tiara said. Baby Cakes "Wow, it's nice to know you've learnt your lesson on this. I was a little worried. At least you'll know this in the future. Your going to need to find your coltfriend soon so me and Twilight can win that pot." Sunset said. "You two are going to be so disappointed. I'm sensing a doozy, and it involves Twilight's future coltfriend for sure." Pinkie said. She then bounced off. "...Okay again, doesn't she KNOW you?" Sunset asked. "Maybe I should ask if it's not too late to change my bet." Twilight said. "Why do you want to change your bet?" Ray asked. "Because it's Pinkie Pie." Twilight said. "...In that case, I may join you in betting on you." Ray said. "Yeah, same." Spike said. "I don't get it..." Sunset said. "Twilight's saying that perhaps Pinkie Pie is right about Twilight getting a coltfriend next." Ray said. "Please. I see Rainbow Dash or even Pinkie Pie getting a coltfriend way before Twilight." Sunset said. "But Rainbow Dash actually joined in Pinkie Pie in betting on Twilight getting the next coltfriend." Ray said. "Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that. All the more reason to double check." Twilight said. The Last Roundup Sunset sighed. "Don't worry, I got this." Sunset said before she teleported away. She teleported back with the two missing mares. "Found them." She said. "Thanks Sunset." Rarity said. The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 AU "So let me get this straight: You have a machine that squeezes Cider?" Sunset asked. "That is what we said yes." Flim said. "And we meant every word." Flam said. "And don't you think that maybe it's not about the quanitity of the Apple Cider that makes Apple Family cider so special, but rather, the quality?" Sunset asked. "Hit me with a glass." She said. "Sunset, what are you..." Twilight was saying, before after just one sip, Sunset stopped. "Hey wait a second...THIS CIDER PRESS IS USING THE SAME APPLES THAT THE APPLE FAMILY USES! YOU DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO USE THOSE!" Sunset exclaimed. "She's right. That would violate the whole point of the thing." Mayor Mare said. "Let me drink that." Granny Smith said. She went wide eyed after just one sip. "BY GOLLY DARN, THE UNICORN GIRL IS RIGHT; THIS IS MY FARM'S SAME APPLE CIDER!" The elder shouted. Suddenly the entire crowed boo'd and ran the two would-be swindlers out of town. "That would've been embarrassing. Would explain why we suddenly had less apples to squeeze into Cider this year." Applejack said. "So their thieves & con-artists rolled into one duo? Those are the worst kind. And I was really trying to suspend my disblief of Con-artists after how Trixie turned out." Sunset said. "Speaking of her, how has she been doing?" Rainbow Dash asked. "She writes occasionally. Spike's even got her on dragon breath speed dile essentially now." Sunset said. "So do I. Sunset is basically pen-pals with that magician at this point." Ray said.
