Dash The Stampede


That crazy girl that writes random comedies, detailed inanimate transformations, and sad/dark heartwrenchers. $$60,000,000,000 says you can't catch me! I'm the Equestrianoid Typhoon! Peace and Love!

Twilight always wanted to soar through the skies as a filly, and after wrecking the hot air balloon she was borrowing, she just might get to live that dream! Princess Celestia assigns her a fitting punishment, but will Twilight truly see it as a bad thing? She'll get to fly through the sky...

Although, not in the way she had expected.

It was amazing an that's saying a lot for me.

Thanks! It's funny actually, I started off trying for the laughs, and ended with the feels. I guess all true comedy boils down to the base emotions, which Twilight and Spike can't feel, however.

...Lucky them!
:trollestia:
Wait, Tia, what're you doing with that rope? I don-*Squeak*
:rainbowlaugh:

Damnit, Dashie! Why must you always compel me to read your stories?
Hilarious at first, but more subdued towards the end. A few minor errors and a VERY OoC Celestia, but it serves its purpose.
Honestly, what is it with you and themes, lately? :raritywink:

3708478 That was suppose to be funny man I wished I could laugh at funny things but I just can't.

3708498
Errors? Blame it on the time.:ajsleepy: Themes? Blame it on my one-track mind. :rainbowwild: OOC Celly? Blame my insistence to break the universe.:pinkiecrazy:

Compelling you to read my stories? Blame my damn sexy charm and words of gold.:trollestia:

Well, one can dream, anyways.:rainbowlaugh:

What have we unleashed? A new wave of turning ponies into objects that hold large volumes of air. Perfect!

Huh, that was different.

3708561
:pinkiecrazy: Inflate (and deflate) ALL the ponies!

3708561
Oh, this is just the beginning...

Just wait, tomorrow I'll be writing again! I'm thinking of a way to incorporate Fluttershy and balloon animals. into a comedy for once. Hopefully I don't turn all sappy on this one!:rainbowlaugh:

3708569
I tried for comedy and this spawned! It was different for me too!:rainbowlaugh:
I hope you enjoyed it:pinkiehappy:

Behold, for a downvote cometh down like unto a blemish upon this story. Upvote! Give it all the upvotes! :derpytongue2:

So, will they be changed back? Or is it perminet?

3708737
That, My good sir, is for YOU to decide! :derpytongue2:
The story is complete as it stands, I like to let people imagine on their own, you don't see enough of it today anymore...

In my personal headcanon, Celly frees them after a few days or so, otherwise the questions begin to stack up.:rainbowlaugh:
But if you wish for them to never return from the land of Balloonhood, then they'll stay, forever encased in latex and wicker, floating ponies across the skies for all eternity..:pinkiecrazy:

What did I just read? :facehoof:

3708842 You, of course, just read a wonderful work of fiction. :pinkiecrazy:

Bloons. Bloons EVERYWHERE. Ponies in the sky!:twilightoops:

My other story, The Great Inflate is also a balloon ponies story! But be warned, It's a dark one.
Thanks for reading!:rainbowkiss:

" ...we'll go down faster than the maximum velocity of a Zebrican Swallow!"

Would that be faster or slower than an Equestrian Swallow? :moustache:

Warning; literary criticism ahead:

Twilight was distracted by the sheer beauty of the setting before her. She was too distracted to notice the sudden shift in wind direction, changing their course towards the Everfree Forest.
"Uh, Twi'? We're moving the wrong way!" Spike tapped Twilight on her leg, startling her and causing the unicorn to jump in surprise. "I think we're headed toward the Everfree."
"Oh shoot! I got sidetracked by the sight of another of Celestia's sunsets, I didn't realize we changed course."

We have a few redundancies here. Underlined, we have Twilight being distracted by the sunset, and therefore missing the change in course. Once was enough; we don't need Twilight to explain her error when it's already described.
Italicized, we have an approaching forest of doom. Again, we just had it described; Spike pointing it out in the very next paragraph feels repetitive. This could be fixed by, for instance, the description only telling of the change in course, with Spike clarifying where the pair is now headed. In this manner, Spike's lines add new information instead of only going over what the reader already knows.
Lastly, we have a startled Unicorn in bold. Since jumping in surprise and being startled are very closely related, saying both is a little long-winded. The first is an action and the second a state of being, so the first is often the better choice; but both is usually worse than either individually.
/End literary criticism.

My need for characters to not stray too far from their conventional personalities requires me to assume that this is a short-lived punishment. Maybe Celestia was having a bad day, and changed her mind in the morning?

Poor Spike. Not only does he get punished with Twilight, but he'll have to deal with yet another possible punishment Twilight can freak out about. Hopefully she at least drops the remedial magic courses thing. Being turned into an inanimate object trumps that, I think. Of course, most things do. :facehoof:

Thanks for letting me know on the criticism, and I appreciate the tips. I'll use them in my next endeavour. However, this fic's complete. I intend to keep it as it is, if it works, don't fix it!

That being said, I like your idea of headcanon there, but I think Celly would keep her for a few days before letting Luna in on the "punishment" and leaving it up to her to choose--A sweet-ass new balloon, or a typical attention-stealing brat of a unicorn and her portable toaster?

I'd take the balloon. Or become it. Either one :derpytongue2:

Thanks for reading, either way, I hope you enjoyed!

5042193 It is rather funny. I do wish I had one that more accurately describes the fic, but google only does so much.:derpytongue2:

Jup, this seems like something Celestia would do :trollestia:

5393228
In a perfect world...:rainbowwild: Even though she is kinda out of character. Sorta. She's sensitive about her balloons, if you catch my hint.:trixieshiftright:

Thanks for the add!

The comments regarding things being for good, last things, and losing twilight and spike seem to suggest otherwise

DAmnit I shouldn't find this arousing, but I do

6546528
Ahem, *cough*- chest balloons -*cough*

T'was a play on words :V

OK, I guess I would have got that except they aren't anthro in tihs story, at least I don't think they are, so it kinda flew past me.

Has anyone ever written an anthro story where Celestia wasn't the bustiest pony around?
