"sigh..."
"hey Echie! what's wrong?" Pinkie asked, quite confused.
The watcher simply sighed, "we haven't gotten any new chapters, and nobody has read this fic, I'm starting to think this is a waste of time..." he said depressingly.
"aw, don't be sad Echie, i'm sure we'll get some people to read this fic, then we'll have lots of fans!"
the watcher made a small smile, "...Thanks Pinks, you really are good at making people feel better"
"It is my talent you know," she said with a knowing smile that made Echatu laugh.
"Alright, let's start off then, the author had a couple of ideas, one of them was 'what if Luna had some admirers that kept her from going nuts?' turns out, that was taken. Then, he wondered 'what if Twilight had gone with Nyx to Canterlot?', turns out THAT was taken, so he finally gave up and asked 'what if had won the fight against Celestia?' no points for guessing."
"what about 'what if  the author had continued the previous story with a Chris-Hearth's warming special?'"
the Watcher blinked. "eh, why not? and while we're at it let's rewind a bit so we can see what happened when Twi got her memories back?"
<~>
Twilight was at the moment not a happy alicorn, nor was she sad, bored, or tired. Furious, furious was the word.
At the same time, Blue-blood was not a happy unicorn, he wasn't angry, sad, or depressed either. he was pants-crapping horrified. he knew of Twilight's origin and was one of the protesters against her ascension. Blue-blood was currently hiding under a table and was hoping to whatever deity that was above Faust that he wouldn't be found.
That deity was more in favor of the furious mother.
"Come on out Blue-blood, i wanna see if you really do bleed blue!" Twilight said.
Celestia, or rather Stella had some snide comments as she and her sister were eating popcorn, "You know, i always thought of Twilight as a daughter, now that she's back as Mom, i feel dirty, and not in a fun 'let's go clubbing way'"
"agreed" was all Luna or Selene, replied as another table was disintegrated into nothingness.
"Check it out Lulu! Mom's so mad she's defying all laws of physics!"
Luna nodded in agreement, "as Rainbow Dash would say:  so awesome..."
meanwhile, Twilight was busy hunting down the Prince whose ancestors had really pissed  her off,"c'mon Blue-blood. If you come out quietly I'll only partially kill you..."
"how does one only get partially killed?" Blue-blood thought out loud, when he realized his mistake however, he tensed up.
a large explosion was what virtually all of Canterlot heard, followed by a girlish scream. 
Twilight was standing over the Prince and in a low, slow, terrifyingly deep, and somewhat seductive tone; said one word, "boo!"
(Due to content, the battle scene cannot be shown, as it difficult to write, and would go against the 'teen' rating, so instead, have Lyra here singing.)
♫ On the twelfth day of hearth's warming, my love gave to me,
♫ twelve turtles tumbling,
♫ eleven elephants eating,
♫ ten toes towing,
♫ nine nights-a-glowing,
♫ eight mimes-a-miming,
♫ seven shocking stories,
♫ six elements of harmony
♫ five golden rings
♫ four villains moping
♫ three french hen
♫ two turtle doves
♫ and a Fausticorn in the fair breeze!
(we now return to you regularly scheduled programing.)
"...This cake cream is pretty good mom"
"aww, thanks Selene, made it myself, just the way you like it"
"so uh, mom, hypothetically, if you wanted any gift at all, what would you want?"
The lavender Alicorn blinked, "I take it having my daughters happy was already filled?" she joked.
"well yes, i guess it is" Selene said.
"Well, tomorrow's a new day, so why don't we just leave it at 'make every day a good one'?" 
Both sisters hugged their mother, something they couldn't do in a long time, looked up and asked, "do we still have to go to bed at ten o' clock tonight?"
<~>
"You know, maybe it's the fact that we're so pessimistic about this story that makes readers stray away from it..."
"I'm not sure Echatu, some people find it funny when a story makes fun of itself..."
yeah, but still, we should be confident in our story! not bashing it at every turn."
"what about chapter one-"
"We. Do. not. Talk. about. That. Chapter." the watcher said as he cut pinkie off and pulled down the curtain to signify that the chapter was over.
