So it looks like Flash Sentry definitely has a type in arrogant, megalomaniacal unicorn mares.

Something like that. I think Sunset was kind of a bad influence in that regard.
Love this. Seeing the colts and Spike all grown up is a delight. Please keep writing these.
I was greatly amused and I wouldn't mind another story like this.

Thank you! I plan on making this an extended thing. I'm especially excited for the next story, because it'll include the Cutie Mark Crusaders in the mix (well, just the Crusaders now, I guess). It's a lot of fun to paint a picture of what Ponyville could be.

I'm happy to be amusing.
I plan on writing a few stories similar to, though probably never quite like this one. We'll at least see more of these characters.
I really like this future.
4354267
Extended thing?
GODSPEED, YOU BEAUTIFUL FUCKING BASTARD.
4354267
These are good, and more of them are more good.
is it me or Twi flirting with Spike at the end there?
Ouch.
Glad to see another of these stories.
Another great story. Thanks!
Spike is like, what, 15 now? A hundred years is a big difference, Twilight. I think a thousand-year-old ruler would know better than to try to set up a 15-year-old with another dragon in there triple digits. Of course, Spike could have been exaggerating, but these are dragons we are talking about.

Me, too! It's tons of fun.

Extended, ongoing, continuous... take your pick.

Boy, I sure hope so. I think I can really take this stuff to some good places.

There is a fine line, Dear Smurf, between flirting and teasing. I like to think that Twilight is firmly on the teasing end of the Teasing<<>>Flirting spectrum.

As an aside, I could totally think up a newspaper's headlines for them.
Cool! I'm happy you're enjoying them.

It is a pleasure to entertain!
By golly, when she's a thousand he'll only be nine-hundred!
But I actually see Spike as either just under or just over eighteen, according to the timeline i've alluded to (six, seven years since the show) and what I assume to be his age (a teensy bit older than the Crusaders). It's almost not creepy.
I'll make exact ages a bigger deal in a future story.

I was referring to Celestia...
But yeah, you are right. By then 100 years difference probably wouldn't matter.
4364997
Yeah, I thought so. I just picked a poor number to use as my hypothetical age. Sorry.
This and Fahr Drill were pretty funny. I

Thanks! They were both really fun to put together. Here's hoping the next couple stories are even better!
Choose your words carefully...
Good answer.
Here's a stache for you to twirl.
Bulk Biceps is Featherweight's father? HEADCANON ACCEPTED!
Spike needs someone....anyone. Obviously he struck out with Rarity, and probably strike 2 with Celestia's attempt to set Spike up with a dragoness.
And while his love life has probably descended into flames (appropriate since he's a firefighter for Ponyville), he has to see a potential "thing" that could continue with his sister Twilight and one of the most unknown around---Featherweight. I know she would never just gloat and rub it into him that he doesn't have a special somepony, or at the least a special friend, but I'm pretty sure that there has to be a time where enough is enough. Give the poor drake a bone, already!!!!
4353793 Twilight Sparkle? A megalomaniac? Are we watching the same show?
Sunset and Trixie I can understand having delusions of grandeur, but I'm pretty sure Twilight would have been perfectly happy living out her days as the resident librarian of Ponyville.
6265511 I think that was in reference to a continuity where Flash had indeed dated both Sunset and Trixie.
That's some snappy dialogue!
The romcom did indeed reach critical mass.
