"I had a wonderful time, Shiny. I'm really glad we did this."
"T-thanks. I'm really sorry about my sister, though. I know she can be a real handful, but her hearts in the right place. Getting accepted into the academy has her flying around the house like a mad filly and I just don't have it in me to spoil her fun."
"Just look at them." Twilight whispered, as her and Smarty stared at the hormonal couple in disgust. "Over there being affectionate and caring. It's disgusting."
While the young couple had been going about their final conversation for the night, directly across the room from them were two young foals, both of whom had taken to observing these disgusting actions from the safety of the stairwell.
Honestly, Twilight's entire Friday had been spent watching these two go at it with corny compliments and back and forths so cheesy that it made her want to hurl. To make matters worse, she waited all week for this day to finally arrive and she just has to steal Shining away from her.
"Look at her. With her dumb ponytail and her dumb wings and her dumb position in solar court, which just so happens to award her over sixty thousand bits for doing nothing, and her dumb........Her dumb face! She's only rich because she's an alicorn!" Twilight snarled, her form hidden by the thick railing the ran alongside the staircase. "Her and her dumb ability to make ponies like each other."
"Don't you think you should be a little nicer to her? I mean, it's not like she's treats us badly or anything." Smarty Pants stated, his dark blue and red eyes observing the cute little scene as he poked his head over the railing in curiosity.
"Oh hush!" Twilight snapped, her eyes burning with annoyance as she tried her best to burn holes into the side of Cadence's head with her eyes. "You're just saying that because she gave you a disgusting hug."
"Yeah well you're just mad because Shining likes her more than you." Smarty stated, before sticking his tongue out at her in a childish display of victory.
"Shhh! I can't hear what that thing is saying!" Twilight hissed.
"Shiny I......I just wanted to tell you that....That I'm lucky to have a stallion like you." Cadence said, her voice incredibly soft and her face burning a gentle shade of red with an apparent blush.
"Well geez Cadence, you make it sound like I'm more than just some plain old stallion." Shining Armor replied, as he forced his eyes elsewhere in a mixture of flattery and embarrassment. "I'm nothing special."
Cadence clearly thought otherwise, as she brought a hoof to his chin and gently pulled his snout, along with his attention, back towards her gentle smile. "I'm serious, Shiny. I've had to deal with a lot of jerks in this pompous town, but you treat me like more than just somepony in line for a spot on the throne. You're one of the few ponies I've met who actually looked past my wings and my horn and just treated me like a mare. I just.....Thank you, Shiny.....Thank you."
And much to Shining Armor's delight and Twilight's dismay, Cadence quickly pressed her lips against Shining Armor's lips for a quick kiss before she pulled away and giggled at the stunned stallion. "I'll see you next week, Shiny."
And with a brilliant flash of pink light, Cadence was gone in an instant. Shining Armor, however, hadn't moved a single inch from the doorway, as a toothy grin seemed to become a permanent fixture of his white snout.
"Shining?" Twilight called, as she finally descended down the staircase, a small gray doll resting on her back as she slowly inched her way to her frozen brother. "Are you alright, Shining?" she squeaked, as she finally came withing a foot of her of dear brother.
Shining Armor didn't respond. He didn't even close the front door. He just.......Sat there.
"Well Smarty Pants and I are gonna just go ahead and get to bed. Good night."
"Do you think he's........Dead?" Smarty Pants asked, as the two friends marched their way back up the stairs, eager to get away from Shining Armor and his unsettling smile.
"I don't know, Smarty. It's almost like that witch stole his soul or something! Did you see his face? He was as pale as a ghost!" Twilight stated, as the two trotted towards a purple door that marked Twilight's room.
"He has a white coat, dumby. How can he get any paler?" Smarty Pants replied, shoving the door open with a gray hoof, as he lead the way towards a large, purple bed that dominated most of the room.
"Hey, I know what I saw! His coat of fur is usually egg white, but he went from egg white to, like, ghost white! And did you see that smile? That's the smile of someone whose been possessed by a demon." Twilight muttered, as she burrowed her way into her extremely comfortable set of covers.
"I think that you're just jealous because there's another mare who is keeping him all to herself." Smarty pants teased, as he stretched himself out on the bed, before curling up like a dog next to the fiery little filly.
"Yeah well you're ugly and you smell like poop! I win, you lose." Twilight replied, as she wrapped her hooves around Smarty's large, gray form and let out a massive yawn. "G'night, Smarty."
".......You think that Cadence would give me a kiss in exchange for my soul?"
"You're an idiot."
Cute :D
That's a title and a half! O.O
Nice! Nice! We need more Calvin and Hobbes like stories like this one!
This is cute.
Instant headcanon.
3515599uwyo.edu/wyominghist/05%20Scot%20Calton%20Phil%20head%20cannon.JPG
Exactly the kind of goofy little story that I've been looking for.
Gotta say. I was a HUGE Calvin and Hobbes fan when I was younger (and even still today). This is the kind of crossover I like to see. Taking inspiration from the other end without simply copy pasting stories into universes. For example, a MAJOR part of the feel of CnH was that Calvin was an only child. You managed to make the Twilight/Smarty combo work for a young sister while still making it feel like Calvin and Hobbes talking. Bonus points for having a Calvin/Roz-esque dynamic with Twi and Cadence. Don't think I didn't catch that.
All in all, a few small grammar/spelling typos aside, I could see myself reading more of this.
3516423 Yeah it's usually the small stuff that plagues most of my fics, but It helps to keep churning out the stories to get the hang of things.
Keeping twi as a girl and Smarty as a boy was probably the oddest part of it. I had to catch myself a few times whenever I had almost popped in a line that came off as anywhere near romantic. Also had to dump the "You think she's cute" banter that C&H also had.
Might have Celestia as the wise aunt of the family.
*their
Otherwise this is an amazing piece of adorable. Rah rah rah!
Adorable
3516722 fixed!
Kind of reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes comic
3515641
Good one!
As a massive Calvin & Hobbes fan, it's nice to see a fic that does the original justice, while at the same time not being a carbon copy. And even if the cannon goes off, Twilight as Calvin and Smarty Pants as Hobbes is just too adorable for me not to stick my head into.
So I'm guessing Cadaeaence is going to be this story's Rosalyn, at least for a little while in Twi's hatred towards her?
A Calvin and Hobbes style for Twilight and Smarty Pants?

This seems interesting...
This seems like a funny story!
Wait...*favoriting* okay, continue!
Isn't Smarty Pants a girl?
3525200 In most art he/she is, but a doll like that could be considered any gender that a kid wants it be.
3525329
Okaaay, why does Twilight envision her doll as a colt?
3525447 y not?
If I'm not mistaken, Smarty Pants is female ("She was mine when I was your age, and now I want to give her to you! ").
"I've already read a lot of stories and I should probably get back to work, plus I don't have much time so..." (glances at Calvin and Hobbes themed picture) "...I have time for one more!"
3527168 You aren't.
Twilight replied, as she wrapped her hooves around Smarty's large, gray from and let out a massive yawn.
-large, gray form

".......You think that Cadence would give me a kiss in exchange for my soul?"
Yeah, that's about as Hobbes as you can get. Looks like i'm, gonna have to keep reading this, lol.
Oh man I just loved the Calvin and Hobbes comics this brings back so many memories
This is adorable! But... Twilight mentioned Cadance as the best foalsitter ever... Why does she hate her?? Probably because this takes place before Twilight really liked Cadance. *shrug*
Gettin' a good Calvin and Hobbes feel. I've seen a C and H style fic before but this one feels genuine, you get a like fave and my love
