It's a school day remember? Drop your daughter off at school (which depletes your Inventory food supply to "1 Box of Multigrain Cereal" and "One Can of powdered milk") and ask her to ask Button Mash where the arcade is.
Well today is a school day, so you can't hang out with your daughter till after 3, and you don't want to make her miss three days in a row, so go into town for some supplies, and maybe a few treats for when she gets off.
You stand outside the entrance of Sweet Apple Acres thinking about what to do with your day off.
First things first; today's a school day so I need to drop off Nightshade at school. Darn, I was really hoping that we could have some father-daughter time together, but she's already missed two days of school- *ding*. I know! Nightshade gets out at 3, so that means we can have a father-daughter day then!
With that plan in mind, you head towards the schoolhouse to drop off Nightshade,
12 MINUTES LATER
"Bye Sweetie! See ya after school!"
You wave to Nightshade as she waves back while she walks into the school (although packing her her lunch depletes your Inventory food supply to "1 Box of Multigrain Cereal" and "1 Can of powdered milk"). You're about to walk away when you see Cheerilee in the school window glaring at you and mouthing the words:
"I. Expect. Better."
You make a panicked sound before you run away in fear while thinking,
How is it possible that a seemingly sweet pony teacher is scarier then a changeling one?!
A FEW MINUTES LATER
After you put some distance between yourself and the school house and calm down a little bit, you begin to think about your...
Thinking about your food situation, you compare it to Appleloosa:
-Appleloosa: Had to provide your own three meals a day, Nightshade was home-schooled so she only popped out occasionally and thus needed to be fed less
-Ponyville: Breakfast and supper provided by Apple family (usually at the insistence of Applejack), but because Nightshade is going to regular school, her large appetite needs to be fed more often (which means more of your income will be going into her stomach)
Food situation in Ponyville compared to your food situation back in Appleloosa.
Let's see, back in Appleloosa I had to provide my own three meals a day, but Nightshade was home-schooled so she only popped out occasionally and thus needed to be fed less. But now in Ponyville, I have breakfast and supper provided by the Apple family (usually at the insistence of Applejack), but because Nightshade is going to regular school, her large appetite needs to be fed more often (which means more of my income will be going into her stomach). Ugh, I can't decide which one is better. But regardless...
You then sadly take out your bag of bits (68 Bits) and say to yourself,
"Business before pleasure..."
You weep comedic anime tears as you realize that at least half of the bits that you planned to spend on you and Nightshade's father-daughter day are going towards food. You sigh as you begin to go... shopping.
Go shopping for groceries
3 Pre-prepared Salads
3 Cans of Broccoli Cheese Soup
3 Cans of Tomato Cream Soup
3 Boxes of Crackers
6 carrots (when you purchase these from Golden Harvest, have a brief talk and learn she's the twin sister of Carrot Top from back in Appleloosa)
15 Granola bars
12-pack of Water bottles
Bandages (For Nightshade's mummy costume)
45 Bits remaining
SOME HOURS LATER
After you finally managed to find a few stores that sold food (for some odd reason, almost all the food in Ponyville is sold at stands in the center of town, yet anything that is not food gets sold in big stores, besides oddly enough party supplies), you did your shopping and now you're checking over your newly bought supplies in the Inventory;
3 Pre-prepared Salads
3 Cans of Broccoli Cheese Soup
3 Cans of Tomato Cream Soup
3 Boxes of Crackers
6 carrots (Interestingly, when you purchase these from Golden Harvest, you had a brief chat with her and learn she's the twin sister of Carrot Top from back in Appleloosa)
15 Granola bars
12-pack of Water bottles
Bandages (For Nightshade's mummy costume)
Your costume
You're now down to 30 bits, but your costume... It's so awesome and cool that you can't wait for Nightmare night to come. You check the time to see that it's almost 3 o'clock, so you close the Inventory as you head back to the school to pick up Nightshade. As you walk back, you begin to think back on some of the interesting things happened to you while you were shopping, one of those things was...
While you walk through town, you happen to stumble across a dark alley. Out of this alley comes a tough looking stallion in a leather jacket.
"Yo punk, gimme all your bits! My tiny friend here has a knife!" He threatens as he holds up a colt who is holding a switchblade at you.
"Gah! Wait! Don't hurt me! Here you can have all my- Wait... what am I doing?" you facehoof before Falcon Punching the mugger into a garbage bin.
"Three years of planning wasted." he moans.
"You're washed up." the knife colt tells him.
A FEW HOURS AGO
You had just bought the carrots from Golden Harvest and were searching for a grocery store when you happen to stumble across a dark alley. Out of this alley comes a tough looking stallion in a leather jacket.
"Yo punk, gimme all ya bits! My tiny friend here has a knife!" He threatens as he holds up a colt who is in turn holding a switchblade at you.
"Gah! Wait! Don't hurt me! Here you can have all my- Wait... what am I doing?"
You roll your eyes before you take up a fighting stance and call out,
FALCON PUNCH!
Your flame-encased hoof flies past the colt and slams into the would-be mugger's chest and sends him smashing into the brick wall behind him as the knife colt is flung into a garbage can next to the stallion.
"Three years o plannin wasted." he moans.
"Youse washed up, Unc." the knife colt tells him.
You shake your head in embarrassment of the two would-be robbers as you straighten your scarf before walking away.
Another thing that happened was...
You pass by a Record Store and see a familiar unicorn in it tinkering with amps and stuff, so you go inside
You: Hey Vinyl, how's it going
V: Umm...sorry, do I know you?
You: (thinking) Oh Crap, I forgot she hasn't met Tennant yet
You: Oh, well I'm Baker Sylvester Tennant, I help out the Apples, and someone mentioned your name heh heh...
V: Oh yeah, you're the dude who blew up the machine yesterday! That was radical!
You: I know right? It had it coming, stupid evil machine
V: Hey, hope you don't hate all machines buddy, because you ain't trashing up my store
You: What? Oh no no no...(letting go of the vice grips you just started taking out) I only hate evil machines...yours aren't evil are they
V: Evil? No. Wicked? Tartarus Ya! (Dubstep accompanies that declaration)
You: Nice, so what you up to today?
V: Oh nothing much, just making a sick ass costume for Nightmare Night! I'm gonna be Soundwave from Transformers!
You: Cool
V: Yup, check out the voice modulator (she speaks into microphone and it sounds like Soundwave) Laser Beak, prepare for flight
You: That's Awesome...Wait! Soundwave...Decepticon...Machine...EVIL!!! (You Pull out your vice grips before she grabs them away from you with her magic and slaps you)
V: Cut that out
You: Sorry, guess my mind is still a little stupid after yesterday
DFV: Biggest understatement of the millennium right there
You: Grrr...Not now
V: (she gives back your vice grips) sorry again, but no random destruction in my store unless I cause it.
You: Yes Maam
V: So...what you going as for Nightmare Night
You: Well I was thinking of going as The Hooded Offender
Her eyes widen as she grabs you and throws you to the ground and stands on your chest and starts interrogating you.
V: Who sent you? How did you find out, was it the Griffons?
You: Whoah, Wait, What? What are you talk...
V: Why do you want to go as the Hooded Offender, and why did you specifically tell me this?
You: I...I thought it would be cool to...
V: BullSpit! You're a spy aren't you?!
You: (scared) N-No! I'm actually...A Member!
She narrows her eyes at you before saying calmly
V: The Blackest Night falls from the skies...
You: Huh?
V: Finish it if you're a member
You: Oh yeah, the mantra...ummm...
She raises her hoof up to strike you
You: Wait Wait! I got this
The DFV helps you recite the rest
Vinyl helps you up
V: Sorry about that, can't be too careful with Celestia's goons running around.
You: No worries
V: But you should know better, President Fluttershy told us all to go dark until the time was right, and that means no wearing our hoods until the call is heard
You: Oh, Sorry, I didn't know, I'm from Appleloosa and...
V: Nah, it's fine, I guess I'm just a bit jumpy. Can't be too careful when your best friend keeps trying to blow your cover
You: Huh?
V: Oh, my friend Octavia, she keeps trying to raise awareness and recruit in not so subtle ways. She's in love with the freaking guy.
You: Sh-she is?
V: Oh heck ya! I mean the guy did save her life and everything, and she just rants on an on about how she wants to know the real him, and how the groupies and Fan Fillies you read about in the paper are just jumping on the bandwagon. Not that I blame them, I've met him before and he's kinda hot.
You blush
V: Never thought I'd say that about a Bug Pony guy, but he is, though I was a bit drunk when I met him, and might have said some embarrassing things at the time.
You: heh heh...
V: (she shakes her head) but anyway, back to the matter at hoof, don't wear your membership hood, we don't want to cause a scene and ruin it for all the little kids
You: OK, I guess I'll go get a new one.
V: Alright then, be more discreet in the future, and I'll see ya later
She pulls you into a hug and whispers in your ear
V: Hail The Horde
You: Hail The Horde
She let's go
V: Now don't be a stranger, I DJ at the clubs at night, look me up sometime, wouldn't mind having some hot stuff cheering for me (she winks at you)
You: (blushing and nervous) heh heh...will do, bye...
As you leave and head for Barnyard Bargains for a costume, you can't help but think about all the mares that seem to be fawning over you
You: Man, how is this my life? All these Mares throwing themselves at me, sometimes literally, and yet I can't do anything because I'll either be found out or I'm just to much of a hero to fall into that pit.
DFV: Why not mate with the loose Unicorn you just talked with
You: Cause I don't wanna blow my cover and I hardly know her...although Vinyl does have nice shapely flan...NO! BAD BUG!
DFV: The stress of not having intercourse for over a year is getting to you,
You: Tell me about it...Wait, A year? When did... But I've never...
DFV: Oh...ahem...my mistake...(lying badly)
You: What aren't you telling me?
DFV: Let's just say our daughter was created in the traditional way...relatively speaking.
You: What?!
DFV: ...
You: Quit dropping bombs like that and going silent!
DFV: ...
You: Grrrr...
You pass by a Record Store and see a familiar sunglasses-wearing unicorn in it tinkering with amps and stuff, so you go inside.
"Hey Vinyl, how's it going?" you greet.
Vinyl looks up from a stereo she's tinkering with and looks at you in confusion,
"Umm... sorry, do I know you?"
Oh horesapples, I forgot she hasn't met Tennant yet!
"Oh... well... I'm Baker Sylvester Tennant, I help out the Apples, and somelin-er somepony mentioned your name heh heh..." you stammer
"Oh yeah, you're the dude who blew up the machine yesterday! That was radical!"
"I know right? Although to be fair, it was self-defense as it tried to terminate me first. Stupid evil machine..." you mutter the last part.
"Hey, hope you don't hate all machines buddy, because you ain't trashing up my store."
"What? Oh no no no... " You let go off the vise-grips that you now realize you were subconsciously reaching for as you continue, "I only hate evil machines... yours aren't evil are they?"
"Evil? No. Wicked? Tartarus Ya!"
Dubstep music suddenly bursts out of nowhere to accompany her statement. After recovering from the surprise you say,
"Nice, so what are you up to today?"
"Oh nothing much, just making a sick ass costume for Nightmare Night! I'm gonna be Soundwave from Transformares!"
"Cool- Wait, animated serial or explosion-fest movies?"
"The serial, duh. Oh, and check out the voice modulator I made!"
Vinyl then gets out a microphone and speaks into it so she sounds like Soundwave,
"Laser Beak, prepare for flight."
"That's Awesome... Wait! Soundwave... Decepticon... Machine... EVIL!!!"
You whip out your vise-grips with intent to smash before she quickly slaps your horn to make you drop it.
"Cut that out!"
"Sorry, guess my mind is still a little stupid after yesterday." you say as you rub your horn.
Biggest understatement of the millennium right there
Not. Now...
"Sorry again, but no random destruction in my store unless I cause it." Vinyl says as she hands you back your vise-grips.
"Yes Ma'am" you reply as you put them away.
"So... What are you going as for Nightmare Night."
"Well I was thinking of going as The Hooded Offend-*wham*"
She suddenly tackles you and stands on your chest as she starts interrogating you.
"Who sent you? How did you find out, was it the Griffons?"
"Whoah, Wait, What? What are you talk-" you stammer before she interrupts you.
"Why do you want to go as the Hooded Offender, and why did you specifically tell me this?"
"I... I thought it would be cool to-"
"BullSpit! You're a spy aren't you?!"
"N-No! I'm actually... A Member!"
She narrows her eyes at you before saying calmly,
"The Blackest Night falls from the skies..."
"Huh?"
"If you're a member then you should know it by heart. Finish it!"
"Oh yeah, the mantra... ummm..."
She raises her hoof up to strike you.
"Wait Wait! I got this! Uh..."
As easy as it would be to disembowel this pathetic excuse for a "musician", I suppose it would be in our best interests to maintain this facade...
With that, the D.F.V. guides you through the creed. Convinced that you're a fellow Horde member, Vinyl helps you up.
"Sorry about that, can't be too careful with Luna's goons running around. Not to mention rumors of other groups and even governments who want to capture and possibly harness the powers of the Hooded Offender."
"No worries." you reply as you put your Panama hat back on.
"But you should know better, President Fluttershy told us all to go dark until the time was right, and that means no wearing our hoods until the signal is heard."
"Oh, Sorry, I didn't know. I'm from Appleloosa and-"
"Nah, it's fine, I guess I'm just a bit jumpy. Can't be too careful when your best friend since foalhood keeps trying to blow your cover."
"Indee- Huh?" you say in confusion.
"Oh, my friend Octavia, she keeps trying to raise awareness and recruit in not-so-subtle ways. She's in love with the freaking guy."
"Sh-she is?"
"Oh hay ya! I mean the guy did save her life and everything, and she just rants on an on about how she wants to know the real him, and how the groupies, Fanfillies, and so-called 'Waifus' you read about in the paper are just jumping on the bandwagon. Not that I blame them, I've met him before and he's kinda hot."
You blush underneath your face mask and scarf as she continues,
"Never thought I'd say that about a stallion without a face, but he is. Though I was a bit drunk when I met him, and might have said some embarrassing things at the time..."
She blushes slightly and you chuckle nervously as you both remember Vinyl's offer to take her and Octavia to bed. Vinyl shakes her head and continues,
"But anyway, back to the matter at hoof, don't wear your membership hood. We don't want to cause a scene and ruin it for all the foals."
"OK, I guess I'll go get a new one."
"Alright then, be more discreet in the future and I'll see ya later."
She pulls you into a hug and whispers in your ear,
"Hail The Horde."
"Hail The Horde." you whisper back.
She let's go of you.
"Now don't be a stranger. I DJ at the clubs at night so look me up sometime, wouldn't mind having some hot stuff cheering for me." she lowers her sunglasses and winks.
You blush again and nervously say,
"Heh heh... Will do, bye..."
As you leave and head for Barnyard Bargains for a costume, you can't help but think about all the mares that seem to be fawning over you.
Man, how is this my life? All these Mares throwing themselves at me, sometimes literally, and yet I can't do anything because I'll either be found out or I'm just too much of a good guy to fall into that pit.
Why not indulge the loose unicorn's offer of a ménage-à-trois?
First, I have no idea what a "ma-nang a-tross" is. Second, I don't wanna blow my cover. And third, I barely know her... Although Vinyl does have nice shapely flan- NO! BAD BUG!
The vexations of being a virgin are getting to you, but I fail to see why you insist on remaining so. Judging from the number of "fanfillies" this "Horde" has, you could indulge in three fresh mistresses every nigh-
*spurt*
Your nose spurts out blood at the DFV's suggestion and you say,
"Luna, I'm just a few words away from every young stallion's fantasy and I can't live it cause of risk of certain death! Even if I did indulge in that, what kind of example would that be setting for Nightshade! Besides I'm saving it for marriage! Although herds are legal in Equestri- Look, I don't want to talk about this subject anymore so I'm ignoring you."
And with that, you continue your shopping.
BACK TO NOW
You can't help but blush thinking back on it at how Octavia might like you. You say "might" because Vinyl told you, and from what you know about her is that she tends to exaggerate. For all you know, Octavia just really likes to support you... hopefully-
"DADDY! *wham*"
Your strange thoughts are interrupted when a happy midnight blur slams into you. You look up and see your daughter, causing you to smile at her and ruffle her hair as you say,
"Hey Sweetie."
You then begin to tell her how you and her are gonna spend the whole day together. She looks at you with sparkling eyes as she says,
"Subarashī! Watashitachiha tsumori saisho ni nani o shite iru? (Awesome! What are we gonna do first?)"
You chuckle and say,
Spend the day with your daughter and have fun. Maybe hit up an arcade and show your epic skee-ball skills and earn enough tickets to get Nightshade a toy from the top shelf. Who knows maybe some of her friends will be there too.
"We're going to this Arcade I saw while I was shopping. We're gonna play all the games and win a bunch of awesome prizes!"
"Let's go!" Nightshade says with a smile.
You nod your head as you and Nightshade go towards were you saw the arcade.
AT THE ARCADE
You and Nightshade have been having a great time at the arcade! You had enough bits to buy a bunch of tokens to play the games there. You showed off your epic skee-ball skills, played some classic arcade games like Pac-Mare and Road Fighter, Nightshade got a adorable Yoshi plushie (that she comments isn't as nice as her "alicorn plushie") from the claw machine (while you failed miserably about eighteen times and were about to Falcon Punch the machine before Nightshade stepped in). Nightshade beat you (repeatedly) at several fighting games like Spirit Calibur and Fatal Kombat (although her foul language during the games did get you several shocked angry glares from the nearby parents). You and Nightshade were having a blast! Sadly you both go kicked out by the staff when Nightshade ate all the pizza in the food parlor (by the way, 25 Bits left).
As you are (literally) thrown out while Nightshade was only politely escorted out (good thing for the security stallion too, cause if he touched a hair on her mane... *snap*). You decide to give the nice arcade owner and security guard a nice compliment,
"WHAT THE BUCK DO YOU MEAN BANNED FOR LIFE?! THE SIGN AT THE STATION SAID THAT 'FOALS UNDER THE AGE OF 12 EAT FREE', AND SHE'S TECHNICALITY ONLY ONE! BESIDES I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT YOUR ANIMATRONICS ARE BUCKING CREEPY AND YOUR PIZZA SUCKS COMPARED TO PAPA PIZZAS!"
Now those stallions know how to make a mean pizza. Also now I'm banned from both this arcade...whats it called again?
You look up at the sign in front before continuing your mental rant.
"Freddy Fazbear's Pizza"... Huh, strange name... Whatever. Now where was I... Oh yeah! Now I'm banned from both "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza" and "Olive Grotto" thanks to Nightshade's appetite. Note to self; always order take-out if I ever plan on getting food from- Wait a second... WHO THE HAY IS TALKING TO MY BABY?!
You end your mental rambling as you see a brown colt wearing a propeller hat talking with Nightshade. Your fatherly instinct starts to kick in, but it goes into overdrive when you see them laughing. You think...
Obviously, Bugze and Nightshade go to town to rent out some of their Favorite Anime series, meeting a certain someling (Button) that Bugze instantly doesn't trust becuase he's, quote, "Too perfect for my Daughter!".
Que Bugze getting the wrong idea.
Que Facehoof from Nightshade.
Que Blush from Button.
(Button/Nightshade is best ship )
*Awkward silence must be included*
...
...
...
Get hit in the face with a bowling ball courtesy of Scootaloo.
That colt looks like he's getting along with my daughter... *snap* GET HIM!
You charge forward and jump in front of Nightshade as you focus your glowing orange eyes on the colt and yell,
"GET YOUR FILTHY ORGANS AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!"
The colt freaks out and begins to stutter and you're about to start berating him-
*WHAM!*
When a bowling ball slams into the side of your head knocking you into the ground.
"Sorry Mister Vag-I mean Tennant!" you hear Scootaloo say from far away.
"DADDY!" Nightshade shouts in annoyance "Button Mash is a friend from school!"
"Oh..." you say before all three of you stand there in awkward silence.
"Sorry..." you mutter, breaking the silence,
"Eh, no problem." The now named Button Mash says. "I have to go now anyway. I think my mom needs me. See ya Nightshade."
"See ya Button." Nightshade replies before you two and Button walk off in separate directions before coming across...
FATHER-DAUGHTER MOVIE/GAME DAY just think of it playing games like super mareio or maretroid and movies like star trot, or the famous movies that TOTALLY wont scar nightshade for life Changeling. OHHH ITD BE SOOOO SUPER DUPER FUN
A "Balebusters" film reel store that's going out of business! You and Nightshade's eyes light up as you rush inside.
ONE SHOPPING SPREE LATER
You and Nightshade look over what you bought as you put them in The Inventory.
"Alien" & "Aliens" double feature reel
"Coltmmando" film reel
"Die Hoof" film reel
"Death Notebook" anime (Neighponese animated) serial reels
"Full Crystal Alchemist" anime serial reels
"Seikrei" anime serial reels
3 pans of "Yippie Pop" Stovetop Popcorn.
10 Bits remaining
You and Nightshade plan on commandeering the Apples projector and borrowing their butter and salt for a Anime/Action movie marathon. Nightshade was bouncing so much in excitement that she tired herself out. As you put her into the Inventory, she sleepily says,
"I can't wait for the marathon Daddy... *yawn* promise you'll wake me up when it's time..."
You smile in a fatherly love as you say,
"Of course sweetie, now see ya later."
She nods her little head as she falls asleep before you fully put her into the Inventory. After you put her to bed you think,
I think it's time another friend of mine knows I'm still around... I just hope she won't whack me with some sort of potion staff before I even get to talk to her.
With that you head towards Zecora's hut...
go see Zecora (although you both swear you spotted Apple Bloom walking back from her hut...)
ONE TREK LATER
You arrive at Zecora's hut, but on your way there you swear you saw Applebloom sneak away from the hut, but you dismiss it as your eyes playing tricks on you. You walk over to Zecora's door and think,
Please don't be angry or now hate me...
You're about to knock when the door suddenly swings open and you're now staring at Zecora. You and Zecora stare at each other...
And stare...
And stare...
NOT WITH THE STARING AGAIN!
What do you do?
The custom from bugzee could be himself... Go disguised as a changelling...
A changelling disguised as a pony disguised as a changelling... no one could think about that. And if someone ask, is only that you are very good with the customs
---------------------
As you go in the forest in direction of Zecora house, the wind make a newspaper block your sight. After you take it you see a strange news.
Prince Blueblood is going to be judged for being a member or The Horde, between others nobles... You don't know who is this Blueblood but is good to think that some nobles seems to be in your side.
You knock the door of Zecora but she don't answer and you decide to enter and wait inside.
As you enter, you see a big cauldron that have a strange liquid inside, it smell very good and you decide to take a taste, thinking it's a soup that Zecora could be cooking.
As you drink it, Zecora enter from the door and look to you.
"I think im late if you drink of that plate" Say Zecora
As you ask what she meaning she tell you that what you drink is a potion that....
[And here, you choose]
A) Make every female love you
B) increase your magic x100
C) It's a Jekill&Hide potion that make a good pony evil and a evil pony good
D) It's a transformation potion that give you the form of Celestia
E) It was a potion to increase your luck but was incomplete and because of that it give more bad luck that good luck
F) Like D but transform you in another pony
G) Like D but transform you in a pony, making you a pony not disguising as a pony like the changelling powers
H) Can make you see the future and prevent it
I) A potion she was testing and don't know the effect (The effect is that the voice in your head, take control of your body)
J) A potion that regress you to a young changelling the age of the CMC
K) A potion that give you a Astral Body and the chance to challenge Lady Luck to a duel
L) Another thing
------------------
After awkwardly staring at each other for a bit (You can swear this is becoming a regular thing), you decide to break the tension before it solidifies. "Uh... hi there."
Zecora takes a moment to compose herself before addressing you. "Greetings pony who has come to see me, I assume you require a remedy." she speaks in rhyme as always "But first I must find out from you, why you wear the clothes you do."
"Oh, you mean my disguise. One, because it's awesome, obviously." you brag about your Doctor's outfit "And two..." you look around. "It helps me stay hidden."
Zecora raises an eyebrow.
"It's me, Bugzy." you explain, to which her eyes widen and she quickly drags you inside.
"So it is true, I should have known that it was you. Since Canterlot you have returned, and many ponies you have spurned." She let's you know that she's aware of your "Equestria's most wanted" status, though she doesn't seem to angry about it. She continues "Though not from your own fault it would seem, a trickster's curse, blinding those unkeen."
"Yeah, I swear if Discord ever gets free I'm gonna punch him in the d- Wait. How do you know about that? I thought everyone was affected by that." You realize that Zecora knows about Discord's mind rewriting.
"My mind is a steel cage," she tells you "It would take much more for it to change."
5117709 OPTION K
5117709 Sorry to break this to you friend, but I doubt Blueblood would support the Hooded Offender after he got hit in the nuts (and possibly crippled for life) with a supercharged Falcon Punch at the Gala.
But I like your potion idea. It got me thinking of a potion that changes Bugzy's voice so that he can only talk in cartoon sound effects.
5117780
Well... Maybe the time in the hospital make him think, or the damage in the head, or a little of Discord brainwash, who knows.
The idea at first it was to put Fancy Pants instead of Blueblood but I think it was better Bluey
Hug her?
Zecora does some of that shit from the monkey lion king doing staff whacking.
(I don't know how to phrase anything...)
While bugze cries out things along the lines of "Stop", "Quit it" and the immortal "Ow!"
Hope she isn't hostile, but be ready in case she is.
Costume ought to be of himself.
Remember what you said in "Episode 12: Time to Talk and Think!"
Do that to break the awkward silence.
5117709
E) Even more bad luck for Bugze
After you've concluded your business with Zecora, go back to Sweet Apple Acres just seconds before sundown, borrow the Apple's projector, butter, and salt (although they do express concern over the movies you're allowing Nightshade to watch), and have that marathon with Nightshade in your shed before you both fall asleep on the cot.
Get woken up the next day by Applejack (or Apple Bloom) bursting in and saying how AB now has a cutie mark.
5118969
Get vindictive joy out of Apple Bloom accidentally hurting Applejack, but fare no better yourself when you step in. Nightshade finally solves the problem by doing what any calm rationally little filly would do:
Nightshade: "Hawokuishibaru!" (Clench your teeth!)
AJ, AB, and/or you: "What?"
Nightshade then proceeds to K.O. Apple Bloom with a Falcon Kick (bonus points if AB slams into Applejack)
-------------------
For costume, I'm torn between:
-Dalek: Opportunity to scare the Doctor for everything he's put you through so far.
-Big Daddy: Bugze's "glowing eyes protective father" mode is ALOT like a Big Daddy's "berserker guardian" mode when a little sister is threatened.
Sometimes, I wonder if even you know. The friend has been watching out for us an awfully long time. I wouldn't be surprised if you even changed your mind about who it is at some point.
The Phantom of the Opera!
Even older than the CMC's Universal costumes. Bugze can make his face look as hideous as he possibly can. Maybe even a different face each time somepony takes off his mask! His face will look so horrible no one can tell who's really telling the truth about it.
Once you're back at the farm, you walk into the kitchen to get the popcorn ready for your marathon with Nightshade. Apple Bloom is there, about to take a drink a purple liquid in a vial.
"Mr. Tennant! What are you doing here?"
"What are YOU doing here? What is that stuff? You aren't drinking from the bottles under the sink, are you?"
She tilts her head. "Why would I drink from the bottles under the sink? Are they good?"
"What?! No, no, no! Never drink from the bottles under the sink!"
"That's what Aplejack said about eating all my candy at once last Nightmare Night! I ate it all, and I felt great!"
Applejack walks in. "What in tarnation is going on in here?"
"Applejack, can I drink from the bottles under the sink?"
"What? NO! B.S., what kind of BS are you telling my sister?"
"ME? Nothing!" You point at the vial. "I just saw that thing. What even is that?"
Apple Bloom hides the vial behind her back. "It's... something Pinkie Pie gave me. A new recipe."
You facehoof. "That's even worse! You can't trust that crazy mare!"
BAM!
Applejack slams into you, pressing you off your feet and against the wall with a foreleg. "Why did you say that?! If... if this is going to work I need you to get along with my friends!"
Oh, she has no idea what she just said, does she? Apple Bloom is looking back and forth between you two in confusion. You panic, and say the first thing that comes to mind.
"What?"
Not your smoothest moment, but it makes Applejack think. She blinks and lets you down, walking away with a blush and mumbled apology.
So THAT'S how all these girls can sweep you off your feet...
Shut it!
She gives you a whack in the head after you reveal who you are.
You: Ouch, Stop, Ow!
Z: You moronic insensitive jerk! You are some piece of work! How could you get it into your head, to make your friends think you were dead?
You: I had to, it was for the best. I did it to protect everyone. I'm sorry!
She stops whacking you and just shakes her head
Z: You are a very very stupid bug, (she then puts her arms out) Now come here, and give me a hug.
After embracing the mare who just attacked you, you go inside and catch up.
Also, you comment about Applebloom
You: Oh and I think I saw Applebloom walking away from here, did she visit you
Z: Oh yes indeed, she came to me in a time of need
You: Is everything all right?
Z: She had a fall and broke a tooth, so I went and fixed it for the poor youth
You: Wait, You Fixed a Broke Tooth?
Z: Yes I did, with this potion in this sack (pulls out bottle), and it speedily regrew her tooth back.
You: Zecora, do you realize how rich you'll be if you patent that?
Z: (she looks confused) I decided to help Applebloom because she is young and has no bits, but now with this information its... this is just a home remedy. Ponies don't have this, is that what you are telling me?
You: Yep
Z: Oh wow, with my tonic, I could change everything, I feel so happy, that I feel I could sing. Truly you say, I will receive a lot in pay?
You: Oh heck ya, you're essentially regrowing bone! That's a miracle. Equestrian Healthcare sucks, I should know, I was once undercover as a Doctor with my Grandbuggy
FlashBack
Grandbuggy and you watched as every single illness and injury, from the flu, to broken bones was treated the same.
Bed Rest, and soup, and occasionally random Bandages.
G: These ponies know nothing, I can fix em up and have em out of here in 10 seconds. They just want more bits. Here watch
You: Wait, Grandbuggy I don't think...
Grandbuggy proceeded to then grab a pony in the waiting room and slam him on a table while injecting him with different things in needles, seemingly at random, even as the nurse tried to stop him
N: Doctor, please, stop!
G: SHUT UP NURSE!!! I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!!!
N: Doctor! This is an intern, not a patient!!!
The poor intern groaned in pain, even as he giggled at the things only he could see thanks to the drugs
G: Oh. My Bad
N: I'm going to have to ask both of you to leave. NOW!!!
G: SHUT UP NURSE!!! And make out with me...
N: Wha...mmff
Then Grandbuggy forcibly kissed her into bliss as you both ran away. Even in his old age, Grandbuggy had moves.
Present
You: And that's how we lost our pretend medical license
Zecora just stares at you in shock
You: (cough) anyway, ya copyright that stuff, and you can move out of this evil scary place.
Zecora: Perhaps I will do just that, but as for moving, I cannot just leave at the drop of a hat.
You: Well OK, food for thought, anyway, I'll see you around and...(slap your forehead) no wait, I came here for potions.
Get a potion to make NightShade's wings invisible so she doesn't always have to wear the vest,
some healing salves which she calls Estus and gives you in a flask. The stuff smells and tastes like Sunny D.
Also, some temporary disguises for yourself since your own changing abilities suck.
At some point, she seems confused because she keeps thinking she misplaced a potion of some kind. Heart's Desire or something. She said she was going to give it to a rooster or something.
You also tell her about the voice in your head, but she claims that it's not her field and to see a psychiatrist for that.
You: So are you gonna come to Nightmare Night
Z: Oh yes I am, and I will see you there, that is if you dare (she chuckles mischeviously) I will give a presentation, that is sure to scare, so on that night, you best prepare.
You: Alrighty then (why is everyone being cryptic all of a sudden?)
Anyway, when you go back to the school house, you see a whole crowd gathered around Applebloom who is hoola hooping and balancing plates on her nose.
Nightshade: Daddy, Applebloom is awesome, She's got Two Cutie Marks!
You: That is awesome! Go Applebloom!
Later that Evening, you hear screams from inside the house and check it out
Applebloom is uncontrollable tap dancing as more and more Cutie Marks appear.
Applebloom: Help Me!!!
You: Oh Luna No! This is how the Zombie Apocalypse begins! THE END IS NIGH!!!
Then proceed to scream like an idiot and not be helpful until AJ hits you upside the head and tells you to knock it off
You: Sorry, but this is freaky. We have to stop it before it spreads!
I think Bugze should go as Subject Delta from BioShock 2, he could still be part machine with a voice modulater, but it fits his character more of being Overly Protective of NightShade. Plus more Mobility since it has legs and everything.
so much rage there isn't another chapter, i love this series it is hillarious and has good amounts of other bits and pieces to balance it out from stopping it entirely becoming just focused on comedy
also, i choose K just so he can go a round or several with Lady Luck :D (is gonna be hilarious when the amount of luck flowing off her makes him miss everything xD )
Make a list of all the places you've been banned from!
5117709
Lady Luck's Plane of Existence resides in Las Pegasus, where she rules the weary gamblers. If he gets that potion he will also have to travel to Sin City and make a sacrifice of bits to the Black Jack Table to call her out
5123309 Why travel when he can levitate or float?
5123321
Of course
But then again it could be extremely dangerous, any kind of floating at all gets this guy's attention
5123340 Don't worry, he is busy following the TARDIS... After all a Blue Box that levitate is best that a simple ghost.
5123378
Now I'm just imagining the Doctor encountering Pennywise
P: Heya Doc, Don't you Want a Balloon?
D: What?!
P: They float...They all float
D: What?!
P: WAHAWAHAWAHAWAHAWAHA!!!!
D: WHAT?!
5123402
You forgot the Doctor is almost everytime with Ditzy/Derpy... She don't talk?
5123555
I meant the Human looking Doctor meeting the real Pennywise,
for the ponified version it would be the same conversation, but Derpy would probably come in, see the clown bare it's teeth at the Doctor, then that night she would be curled in a ball in the corner chanting this
5123656 The problem is that we are talking in a MLP site in a fic that have the pony doctor. The logic could be we talk of the MLP Universe not the Who Universe
The Human Doctor usually have someone with him so it could be the same.
The Clown is easy to defeat, you only need to use bleach and it become gray, after losing the colours he will not appear
5123664
Ya I know, my bad, but still, funny situation regardless.
And Bleach? That's the secret all along?
Doctor: Who would've thought that an Evil Demonic Clown's weakness would be an endlessly sprawling Manga? To Barnes N Noble Derpy!
Derpy: Doctor I think he means the clothes wash...
Doctor: No Time for Laundry Derpy!
Do you think we should suggest this whole Doctor meets Pennywise as an actual scene?

5123715 That could be more a problem for the devil six.... But they could try to be friends with him instead, until they learn he is evil... But well, they have Pinkie that is like him but without the clown suit.
And now... I need to take out the image of the terror that Pinkie after befriend Pennywise.
-------
Ponyville in ruins, as Twilight look how far away Pinkie and Penny leave.
"Why!! Why Celestia!! Why!!?"

Dear God that is a horrifying thought. Luckily, someone already drew it

5125673 Pche, that's only the presentation... Is easy to substitute "IT" for... "Darth Vader" "Pikachu" "The CMC" "Telettubies" etc.
Mwehehehehe. I'm loving all of these Marvel references. Oh and Star Wars when those come up! You should definitely have more of these in the third "book".
