Writing Comedy, Adventure and Slice Of Life. Desperately trying to keep up with all the crazy stories my brain comes up with.

A cellist and a DJ walk into a karaoke bar...

If that isn't the start of a joke, it sure sounds like one. And like any good joke, it will probably include a lot of eye rolling and several special love touches knocks on the head from Octavia.
What else can a pony do than sit back and try to enjoy the show.


Inspired by the album Sing When You're Swinging by Robbie Williams.

The things I do to prove him wrong for love.

I do take that as a challenge, you know? :rainbowdetermined2:
Anyway, thank you sooooo much! Best birthday gift ever! :heart:

Simple. I needed simple today.
Thanks :raritywink:

Princess, what happened to your faaaace.

I'm squeeing so damn hard from Octavia on that cover and I'm a guy.

Don't tell anybody though shh.

5533494

You're welcome. :pinkiesmile:


5534010

I REALLY DID! :pinkiegasp:


5534705

Consider my lips sealed. :scootangel:

*echoes across the world* C-c-challenge ACCEPTED

This just keeps on getting better and better~ :heart:

How many more hats will he give up? and will Vinyl get mad at MR pants for not wearing any more hats?

This is actually a good deal of silly fun. Bravo, River! Kinda sad I haven't talked with you more in chat. You have a sense of humor I can really appreciate... and you do my favorite pony justice in her antics!

Lol. At this point, I think Fancy Pants is coming to that bar just to see them perform. I know I would.

5537749

The plot thickens. :derpytongue2:

5538274

Thank you kindly. I'm doing my best. :twilightblush:

5538369

Gasp! You have completely figured out my character's inner workings and motivations! :pinkiegasp:

5538410

He knows everything! GET OUT OF MY HEAD! *flails*

NEVAH!! Now that my brainwaves are parallel with yours, I can begin to usurp you as the master of your body! You're mine now! MUAHAHAHAHA!! :pinkiecrazy:

I am slightly confused by the monogram F.S wouldn't it make more sense to be F.P for fancy pants or for what Vinyl said fantastic pon3 ♫

I have absolutely edit not the slightest idea edit what you are talking about edit edit edit

5541561 Hehehe... Some of the funniest parts about writing are the mistakes people find. One of my favorites was an incidental shipping reference. Whether it was my fic, Merlos' or Hoopy's, I can't really remember anymore...

5541561

“Course it does. The F.S. stands for ‘Fantastic Pon3’.”

Still missed it ;)

Wonderful concept, so far fantastic execution. Absolute, total delight to read.

ARGLEBLARGH! Is that all you guys can comment on?! :facehoof:

Thank you for the compliments. And for pointing out that typo... I guess.

5551102
LOL! If you hadn't said you'd already corrected it, I might not have bothered. Still, at least you got them all now.

Seriously, though, this is a very fun story and you should be happy with it.

Wednesday. 8th of April, 2:12 am....
Ten weeks and three days since last sighting. Still no sign of life since. Possible movement may have been allocated to the chapters, but that could also be attuned to my own imagination from being on this scouting mission for so long.

Will report back to HQ with hopefully more data on this bizzare disappearance.
Scout Sade, signing off.

In all seriousness, the story is cute. I enjoy that each night fancypants is all too happy to lose something of his to provide a mare he's never spoken to some joy. I feel you capture fancy pants light hearted, friendly, and fun personality quite well. Good job. I do await the next chapter... If it'll ever come...

5835273

The next chapter will come. Eventually.
It's all written out in my head, but then again it has been since June of last year. I'm a lazy bum and this story hasn't even gotten twenty comments (from others) in four chapters, not to mention that nopony seems interested in the possible bonus chapters... :trixieshiftleft:

Anyway, yes. This will definitely be completed at some point in my life. It's only two more chapters to go and I've already got the songs written down, so that's that. Give me a good kick in the head once a day for a week or so, and you might actually see the results.

P.S.: You're one to talk, Mr. 04/10/2013. Yes, I saw that, and the other two, too.

5835812

Hehehe. I never said I wasn't a hypocrite. But so far I enjoy your premise and your execution. I do hope to read more chapters and I for one am interested in said bonus chapters and all other additions that come with this story.

personally I felt like bing crosby and frank sinatra did this song better than robbie williams

this is the greatest thing ive seen in quite a bit

Aaand it's up. Thank you all for your patience and I'm really sorry for the long wait.

7643094

Why thank you. You got here just at the right time, too, and not when I wrote this chapter over a year ago. :twilightsheepish: :ajsleepy:

Well, whatever the justification, finishing is finishing! Glad to see being done, look forward to the wrap-up.

This was certainly a pleasant step in getting there. :twilightsmile:

Do you know if Lustrous Dreams does requests?

Absolutely beautiful and the end was priceless with fancy pants exiting stage left.:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:
Cant wait for the next one thanks for brighting up my day.

Not in the slightest. That one comment on the picture asking for permission to use it two years ago was all the contact I ever had with them.

im wondering if there was a purposeful reference to how to train your dragon or if that was just incidental.

otherwise, i loved this chapter and look forward to what fancy pants is gonna do

Why don't the lyrics in your story not match the lyrics in the video? It was kinda disorienting

7654935
Because I rewrote the lyrics for the story. I do that a lot, it's kind of the driving concept of this story.

You need a new link. Think this will work.

I assume this is the right version since you used robbie Williams in most of the previous chapters.

10239287
Yep, that's the one. Updated, and thank you for noticing. :twilightsheepish:

10240015
You're welcome. Great story by the way.

10241108
Thanks. One hypothetical day I'll finish that epilogue chapter.
