I reiterate: you're on fire. I've never seen someone write and publish this much.

Short and to the point. I like it.

Giving her former teacher a doubtful glare from the corner of her eye, Twilight shrugged. “I'm still working my way through it. It is over four thousand pages.”

What a wimp!:rainbowlaugh: But I like this one too. Keep it up!

An amusing short story. I upvote.

Holy crap, what is it with you and these stories today? Like, what in the actual fuck?

4933396
I've been working on this for a long time. :rainbowwild:

4933432
4933459
Thanks! :twilightsmile:

4933434
Aw, give Purplesmart a break. She's been busy. :twilightsheepish:

4933575
I was attempting to claim the entire 'new stories' box. Sadly, I failed.

4933641
I honestly want to see you do that one day, or anyone. I'd find it hilarious. Let's all have a set date and time where no one is allowed to publish new stories but you. That way you'll be able to get the entire box.

More pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

4933709
I would have done it, too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids story approvers.
(A depressing percentage (1/4th) failed moderation the first time around.)

4933805
I did 15 stories in one day and still you want more? :raritydespair:

Heh, never figured that lot as pranksters, but...they pulled it off. Well done!! :D

Spike rolled his eyes " Do what I & Rarity did, Go to Las Pegasus , What happens in Las Pegasus stays in Las Pegasus!":moustache::raritywink:
:facehoof::rainbowlaugh:

Pranks Inc.:trollestia:

Could you do a part two?

4934026
I like the way this one turned out. :twilightsmile:

4934182
Aw, but the fictitious law still applies there!

4934204
Don't know what I'd put in it. :applejackunsure:
Twi goes to Griffonia, gets married, comes home to find it was all a joke.

4934298
:twilightsheepish:

4934807

Don't know what I'd put in it. :applejackunsure:

Twi goes to Griffonia, gets married, comes home to find it was all a joke.

Better idea: Twilight discovers it was prank in the last minute. Then she and Rainbow get the pranksters back with their own revenge prank. Preferably a very elaborate and hilariously humiliating one.

It's Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash. I wouldn't want to be on the recieving end of something those two cooked up together.

More proofreaders before publishing.:moustache: Drown them bitches in proofreaders.:ajsmug:

4935125
:raritystarry:
Much better idea!
Now the brain-gears are turning! :rainbowkiss:

4935672
Nah... not a lack of proofreaders. Most were failed on technicalities.
Eh... maybe I annoyed the story approvers with my flood.

4935754 Oi, continuation.

Okay seriously four ponies who knew Twilight very well and yet they didn't think she would overreact?

Keep Laughing Celestia, it will be even funnier when The Griffonian ambassador comes knocking.

There must be a follow up. Zod demands it!

4934807
Maybe she and Rainbow get payback, and since Blueb!%ch is involved maybe Rairity can help. Or you know he could just get knocked out by AJ. Both options work. If you couldn't tell I'm not a Blueblood fan.

4936697
Well, they were about to go prevent an overreaction... but when they got to Ponyville, Twilight was already gone. :twilightoops:

4936481
Perhaps, perhaps. This is a fun thread to continue, perhaps.

4937032
Maybe, Zod. Maybe.

4937283
:rainbowlaugh:
Nor is anyone I know.

OK, I see two other possible things Twilight could have done. First of all, she could just ban Blueblood from Ponyville, or have Dash file a restraining order and constantly hang around her. Secondly, she could have married Blueblood and poisoned his wine. I mean, it's not a crime if everyone wants him dead, right?

4937539
Well, yeah, but Twilight isn't that... evil. :twilightsmile:

4937347

I think you should continue it mainly because I kinda hate the thought of the other royals getting away with this. It seems a bit mean. I very nearly downvoted because of that. :ajbemused:

That was mean.

A restraining order against Cadance? Really? No respect at all.:facehoof:

4938046
No, Cadance has a restraining order against Blueblood. :rainbowlaugh:
(Due to certain incidents before her marriage.)

4937609
Hm... yeah, you've got a point there.

4937837
All in good fun?

4938175

No, Cadance has a restraining order against Blueblood.

That's what I meant.:twilightblush: No respect for Blueblood at all.:facehoof:

4938186
For good reason. :raritywink:

Well. Not quite as immediately dramatic as castrating Blueblood or transforming him into a mare (with the most complicated and difficult to unravel spell the magic-talented princess is capable of casting), but funnier. How exactly do Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Shining Armor react when they find out that a third of the Elements of Harmony--most notably Twilight--defected to Griffonia?

But anyways, damn. That is possibly the meanest prank I've seen from a Celestia who wasn't Molestia, evil, or a psychotic prank machine powered by tears. That's the sort of permanently-changes-relationship-with-and-opinion-of-you action that really fucks things over.

That really is something Twilight would have a psychotic breakdown over. There are all sorts of non-violent ways Twilight could use to remove Blueblood from being a candidate, a number of which could be dangerous to bystanders. This is significantly more disastrous than missing a deadline, and a personal tragedy surpassing Tirek--after all, she could actually do something to rescue her friends. There's not actually anything she could do to fight an unchangeable law her mentor, friend, brother, and sister-in-law say can't be changed. And she had already lost enough control of herself that she burnt the floor. Really, going to Griffonia is the least drastic response.
And up until she learned it was just a joke she'd feel both heartbroken and betrayed (although the last might stay around anyways)--and that would take some time, because even after that long she hasn't managed to go through the four thousand pages of the princess manual.
She might have gone to tell Rainbow Dash they couldn't get married, which would... strain... their relationship, and that can't just be reversed by saying "Sorry, I found out it was just a prank!"

This must have a part two.

4938413
Yeah, I think you're right.

4938343
1: You might be taking this a bit too seriously. :trollestia:
2: You make valid points, though. :applejackunsure:

4937347
No I've got it! How do you think he'd like the moon with lots of mirrors?

4938540
Well, he is pretty fond of mirrors.

4938175 If they'd actually prepared for damage control after-the-fact, maybe. But as it is, that was extremely careless.:facehoof:

4938570 Oh, he would be at first. But then he'd have to watch himself age. :trollestia:

4938570
So give him a few dozen mirrors, then bang zing, right to the moon! Plus now they don't need a restraining order. Though it would be satisfying if someone kicked him in the head. Hmm, meh pain or banished to the moon as long as Blueb!%ch gets his I'm happy.

welp, that was something

Best prank ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Well, I've gotten engaged to Rainbow Dash.”

I literally squee'd. TwiDash is one of my favorite ships! :twilightsheepish::rainbowkiss:

In other affairs, I like this story! It made me laugh a bit and I loved to see Twilight's reaction to the entire thing. Going to Griffonia is a brilliant idea and one of her calmer ones. But how will the princesses react? I wonder if they've learned anything about Twilight taking thing too seriously, like I do sometimes. If they have and did that out of pure amusement, ten bits say Trollestia did it. :trollestia:

And then when they got back and Twilight found out it was a joke, she shoved all three princesses and her brother's horns up their plots.

4938596
:raritydespair:

4938723
Wow, you really hate that guy...
Lemme guess, a Rarity fan? :raritywink:

4938826
It was. :moustache:

4939729
I'm sure there was a better one sometime.

4939785
I think you might win that bet. ^.^

4939987
Probably ^.^
I'm sure they'll catch up to her just in time to cancel the Griffish wedding. :twilightsmile:

4935125
My first thought was that Twilight was going to find some way to legally declare Rainbow Dash a prince (or a princess if that would still work.) If she decides to go the counter-prank route I suppose she still could. I'd love to see the royalty's reactions to that.
