A lion king crossover eh? Something I was not expecting to see. I'll keep an eye on this to see where it goes.

I was looking forward to this, and so far I am still every interested:pinkiehappy:. I know the story by heart thanks to my childhood but even so it is still enjoyable to see it being retold here. I want to see the differences and similar aspects both versions will have. I know it is a way off but i am dying to see Timon and Pumbaa and Spike hanging out, and of course when Sweetie and Spike reconnect after all those years apart:unsuresweetie:. (One of the sweetest moments in Disney history if you ask me lol):moustache:

I am very much enjoying this so far, especially since it involves a lion-king esque theme,
Spike as a staring role, FS being the ruler, and Blueblood being a vile, power hungry fiend.................
this is now favorited and my new story to read on from now on.
:rainbowkiss::rainbowkiss::rainbowkiss::twilightsheepish::twilightsheepish:
Hope to see more awesomeness from you!!!!!!

4172043 I'll update as much as possible.


4172383 Took forever to post. had to have someone proofread before it was ready. J still have the movie so it will be easy for me to figure out things.:eeyup:


4172755 I'll update ASAP

The beginning was just to adorable, and I love how you had :pinkiehappy: hanging from a branch to surprise Flash Sentry. :rainbowlaugh:

4173120 thanks. we have to remember, it is Pinkie. :eeyup:

4173150 True. After all who else can pull a party cannon out of no where?:applejackconfused:

The fourth wall MUST BE PROTECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good chapter man.:yay:

Cute and good so far! It was funny with Twilight's reaction to SpikeBelle XD

That's what you get pinkie XD

4243406 I think she learned her lesson for now.

[quote"You two need to grow up,"]

You must never go there, Spike."

"There are some issues at Sweet Apple Acres because of some bats. Derpy's out of muffins. Trixie is pulling some crazy tricks. The author of this stor-"

(this actually needs some commas)

Sometimes, however, he would give ideas that would put them in danger, but they always managed to get away.

The two walked to the school house and sat in their seats, Spike and Sweetie Belle had seats right beside each other, while the others had their seats behind them.

"Dad took me to see part of the kingdom, but said not to go to different places. Pinkie showed up and was giving her report until her mouth somehow vanished,"

"She's doing that because you and Spike are betrothed,"

Those were all of the comma mistakes that I found in this chapter. Other than that, great chapter, cute 4th wall breaking, and kinda lay off the commas for a bit. Thanks!!!!

:twilightsheepish::twilightsheepish:

4243907 Thanks for the help. I sometimes go comma crazy, or not enough commas. I'm going to take some time to write and look over the next chapter more carefully. And Pinkie will get a small break from the author for awhile.

So Im gonna assume that Flash dies and Blueblood kills him.
Spike, I will personally kill Blueblood for you.
...
And take his identity.

4354414 yeah. have to go with the way the movie went, even if I'm not fond of that scene.

What is the deal with pinkie and breaking the forth wall, discord should also be able to break the forth wall

I really like this it's pretty funny how spike is an alicorn I had to do a double take, also first it's the cake then the cookies next she's going to take your xbox and beat all the halo campaigns

4355005 Lucky for me, I don't have those. However, if she goes anywhere near my computer and Total War games, there will be trouble.

Alright, it's SpikeBelle, so it gets an upvote from me, because I know you'll be doing your best to give it justice. Now, let's get the actual review underway!

GOOD: I love the Lion King approach. I really like how you set up the characters stories. Punctuation and grammar tend to be good, also. There are a couple of run-ons and such, but nothing to bad.

NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: The pacing is a bit too fast and awkward at times. Like, in this sentence here, for example:

They stayed there for another hour until Pinkie arrived.

That could be better written as an action statment. Something like this:

They enjoyed the moment, but were interrupted by Pinkie Pie's dutiful delivery of the report.

Also, I like what you're doing with the fourth wall, but try and keep it to a lesser minimum, because it throws me for a loop during the story.

Overall, I really like where this is going. :raritywink:

4392434 thanks. I try not to break the fourth wall much, but when it comes to Pinkie, I can't resist.

i think you should change their expectations of sweetie and spike 'getting together' to expectations of 'getting along' because they were just born, thats about a decade too early to worry about relationships

I don't get it. What's wrong with asking for the kid's name?:derpyderp1:

4583722 nothing. Shining's just teasing his nephew.

Ok I know you want pay back on Pinkie...

but by doing that you let the foals get into the Everfree Forest.

liking the story though :yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay::yay:

4687149 you have no idea how much payback there will be next chapter. And it won't be from me. That and I had to have them go into the forest for the story to continue.

4887067 :rainbowlaugh: x 1,000,000

Also, feel free to ask my OC or Luna questions on the blog.

I second that, it really should be along the lines of getting along well. :eeyup:
