The Unexpected Journey - Chapter 157

Cross Circuit

We’re going on an adventure! We set up camp outside of Ponyville. I never knew tents could be so lavished. I think they’re actually called pavilions or something like that but it’s a tent bigger than my apartment(better AC system too). I guess this is the advantage with hanging out with royalty. I was expecting it to just be Princess Luna(totally knew her name the whole time…no I didn’t) and Morning Star.

I don’t know why she asked Moon Shadow to come. Don’t get me wrong the mare can still go from friendly to terrifying in half a stupid comment, but she’s not going to be much for walking with that leg. I still don’t even know what could do that to a pony.

So there they were, the totally OP spellcaster, the fighter-turned-nurse, and the, uh, handicapable rogue and in walks Big Mac carrying a big old sledge. The barbarian whose version of raging is a stern lecture, now the party is complete! Of course Bon Bon and Lyra would show up right after I wrote that. The alchemist and the…Cavalier I suppose, although that just raises more questions that I don’t want answers to.

I guess that makes me the bard. Crap.

It’s going to be the same two songs on ukulele the whole trip.

Author's Note:

So I did some thinking on the drive to school this morning and it allowed me to get a better idea of how the next arc is going to go. That's actually a bit of a bad habit of mine I spend way more time thinking about what's next than I do actually doing what's in front of me so if this arc doesn't get out in a timely manner I apologize for that.

...I'm so confused. Did I manage to miss something really important?

5266449 There was some recent weirdness with chapter ordering. What are you confused about?

5266707 I believe he's talking about why Lyra, Bonbon, Luna, Big Mac, Moon Shadow, Morning Star, and Circuit are all gathering, since I feel like I missed something also.

5266449 He said in an author's note, previous chapter, that in the quest for Star Swirl's book, the one that lets Twilight learn the princess friendship spell, that he might have each chapter in that arc be done by a different non-Luna character, so maybe these ponies will be Luna's adventuring party. Instead of bat ponies for some unexplained reason.

Wait.... What...?

I just didn't understand what the new pony was talking about. But that was because i didn't read the author's note last chapter... which I really should've done. It makes a little more sense now, but i'm sad we won't be hearing from Luna for a while.

I'm confused by the random things happening but laughed 'cause of the DnD party.
