Twilight: "Come on, come on! Hurry up!"

Shepherd: cooking up the bacon "Geez, be patient Twi! Come on!"

Twilight: "Sorry... It's just so amazing... I can smell it and the meat is so amazing...!"

Shepherd: "Here." He sets it on a plate in front of her

Twilight: "Thank you!" She bites down... Chews... Bites and eats some more... "Oh no...!"

Shepherd: "What? Is it not good?"

And here it is! Careful, it starts playing right away. I'm sorry for the background hiss, but I only have the one microphone, which is on a headset

“Do you ever wonder…”

She looked back at the tree, the leaves dancing in a light, salted breeze.

“No. No, of course not.”

She turned back, looking into the orange sun. It sat on top of the waves, white caps dancing into one another.

She looked down, at the beach far below her.

Shepherd was chilling out with Fluttershy and Treehugger in Fluttershy's cottage.

Treehugger: "Dude... You're a human."

Shepherd: "Uh, yeah. You said that."

Treehugger: "It's like... Cosmic. You're an alien. That's so wicked sweet."

Shepherd: "It... Has its moments."

Fluttershy: "Treehugger is an expert herbalist!"

Shepherd: "Uh huh...?"

Treehugger: "Yeah. I put some herbs in these brownies. Want some?"

Shepherd: "Um... What kind of herbs are we talking here?"

After two straight days of his hostess pulling all nighters and exhausting herself, Shepherd finally has enough. He picks Rarity up and carries her to bed, even as she caterwauls and screams about it

Rarity: "Shepherd?! What do you think you're doing?! Put me down this instant!"

Shepherd: "You've been up for two whole days! Sleep time now!"

Rarity: "I have a deadline to meet-!"

Shepherd: "Meet it tomorrow! After sleep and food! In that order!"

...Truth be told, it wasn't so... dazzling. Now, forgive me for a moment if I do sound like one of those bitchy fans I do hate with a passion.

Great song... but uh... everything else was lacking. For example, where did the Dazzlings learn to sing again? There's just so much lack of context here it's bewildering.

>That night was crazy!
>He came home wearing /the/ hottest outfit you’d ever seen, and what does he do?
>He dressed up Pike in colty lingerie and bucked her!

On yesterday's date three years ago I published the first chunk of green that would become the long and short of it. Time sure flies.

Shepherd wakes up to Chewie growling. Shepherd grabs his pistol from under his pillow and sits up. He looks out the window.

Chewie is standing there, a terrified photographer pony in his teeth.

Shepherd: "Chewie... I do appreciate you guarding me, but you need sleep too!"

Chewie releases the Reporter from his jaws, but holds him in his claws.

Chewie: "Rawr!"

Shepherd: "Yes I know you're mainly nocturnal... Well as long as you're getting enough rest, thank you."

On the other side of the portal... Fluttershy perks up.

Fluttershy: "Shepherd senses, tingling!"

Fluttershy zooms off. Twilight and the other Mane 6 look at Discord.

Discord: "What? She asked for those senses."

Meanwhile, Shepherd meets with Sunset in the library.

Shepherd: "So... How are you feeling? Okay?"

Sunset: "Um... F-Fine. You are... You were very... Um..."

With Memorial Day approaching, we're entering barbeque season in my neck of the woods. On a related note, Dueling Keyboards, my compilation of shorts and miscellany, has updated.

Keeping with my promise of at least one short a week, have "Blind Dates Ain't Nothin' But Dazzles and Tricks," a silly romantic comedy one-shot involving Sunset, blind dates, and your author wishing she could've done something like this in her current long story. Not much else to say--go ahead and read it.

After Twilight returns from the Human World...

Shepherd: "So, it was another Earth?"

Twilight: "Yes, populated by humans but it clearly wasn't your planet. I'm sorry."

Shepherd: sighs and shrugs "I see... Oh well. So, did you enjoy yourself over there?"

Twilight: "Yes... I ..."

She looked back and forth around, and then at Shepherd when she was sure they were alone.

Shepherd: "You...?"

If your mother was a monster, who was killed because she deserved to be killed, how long would it take you to come to terms with that? How long would it take you to be able to face her executioners without hating them? Could you ever?

These were questions Gritt had pushed into the recesses of his mind for six years, but he was about to finally confront them.

don't ask why i recorded this.

Zebras have a hard time in the Equestrian wasteland. The xenophobia is arguably not as bad as when it resulted in an apocalypse, but it’s still not great. Being half zebra? Also not great.

Good thing I grew up in Glyphmark. Sheltered, boring Glyphmark.

While diminished from its peak, the Writeoff is still very much an ongoing concern. Regrettably, while I actually had an idea for the most recent prompt, my Saturdays are packed to the gills and thus I didn't have time to compose it before the submission deadline. As such, I have employed Dueling Keyboards for its original purpose.

Discord stretched as far as the slick roof tiles would allow, soaking in the magnificent view before him. Hundreds of thousands of stars, dancing and twinkling in the light of the moon. That coupled with the brisk night air made for a perfect evening of self-reflection. After last month's events, Discord had done precious little but reflect.
