Several minutes later, the audience had dispersed but for seven mares and a dragon.
Rarity finally broke the silence. "Well. That happened."
"I can't believe the nerve of that guy!" Rainbow Dash roared. "What, he thinks he can just swoop in with his fancy tricks and his singing and his cheesy acting and steal Twilight's girl like that? I say we we greenlight the Pinkie Party and blow him out of the water!"
"All right!" Pinkie cried happily, throwing confetti. "I've got just the thing!"
"But Rainbow Dash, we like Cheese Sandwich," Fluttershy protested. "Besides, if he's in love with Trixie too, doesn't he deserve a chance as well? Um, for fairness?"
"Hmm…" Rainbow Dash shook her head. "Nah, I'll side with Twilight. Besides, he's got no chance anyway. Trixie's obviously into mares. I can tell from a mile away. I bet she's only leading him on to make Twilight jealous."
"Um, you probably shouldn't be so sure," Coco said. They turned to look at her. "I mean, Trixie told me once that she doesn't really have a preference. She said…" She raised her muzzle and tried to sound like the showmare. "'Trixie cares more about the individual qualities of the pony than what they might have between their legs, thank you very much', or something like that. I'm pretty sure she was serious."
"So she's a waffler," Applejack said disdainfully. She snorted. "Jes' what you'd expect from a showpony. No commitment."
"Like you're one to talk, Miss Married To The Farm," Rainbow scoffed. "When was the last time you went on a date?"
"Now what in tarnation brought that on?" Applejack protested. "Fer that matter, when was the last time you showed interest in anypony not wearin' a blue flightsuit?"
"H-hey, I dated! Back in flight school, all the time!" Rainbow said defensively. "Stallions! Like, sometimes more than one at a time! Like, like, like these wild guys who were in a band! Yeah!"
"So why's it since you moved to Ponyville, all I sees you do is weather work, flight trainin', nappin' or readin' Daring Do?" Applejack said with a smirk.
"Hey!" Rainbow said. "Are you saying that I can't get a date?"
Hearing the familiar sound of the bull-headed duo descending into yet another fight, Spike tried to tune it out and turned his attention to Twilight instead. "Can you believe those two, Twilight… Twilight?" Twilight had been silent since Trixie's departure, and with the others arguing as usual, he hadn't paid too much attention to her. Twilight was hunched over in her seat, staring at the ground and muttering something under her breath. Spike worried; had this finally pushed her over the edge? "Hey, Twilight, come on. Don't be upset again, this is just a minor setback, okay?"
"I must have her," Twilight said with hollow voice.
"What did you say?" Spike asked.
Twilight grabbed him with her hooves and faced him with a manic, wide-eyed grin. "I must have her! I must! I mean, did you see that? What she did? How she acted? Such style, such grace, such panache!" Twilight leapt up on the narrow back of the seat in front of her, balancing on one hoof for a few seconds before toppling over. "Those illusions! She made herself sound like a bona fide hero!"
"You know who else is a bona fide hero?" Spike asked. "You. Us. We've saved the world, what, five times now?"
Twilight didn't seem to care. "Has she actually been to Saddle Arabia? Was that a real knife? How did she do those rope tricks? Magic flute, maybe? And casting a spell in mid-air? Oh, I want her to teach me her tricks. I bet I can teach her some of my spells too, and she'll make them look so beautiful!" She sighed. "Just like herself. Trixie, with your coat so blue, won't you hold my heart so true?"
Spike rolled his eyes. "Yeah, okay, so you're not breaking down and being depressed, that's something, at least. Still, you're going to have to outscore Cheese Sandwich, and that guy's got like a PhD in making ponies have a good time. We're gonna have to call in Pinkie for this."
Pinkie popped up behind Twilight and saluted clumsily, whacking her forehead. "My party cannon is at your disposal, my liege. Always. Always."
"I still advise the traditional route," Rarity said, sitting down next to Twilight. "I have a feeling that it really appeals to her." Pinkie made an unearthly growl. "Of-of course we'll need a party eventually!" Rarity stammered. "We'll just have to make sure it all works out properly! And it has to be a spectacular party that really outshines anything Cheese can do, right? Right?"
Pinkie's eyes widened in shock. "Ohmygosh, you're right! I can't make a half-baked party, that won't do! I need supplies! Call in favors! Maybe I can ask Cheese— no, wait, forget that, he's the enemy. Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh, so much to do!" Pinkie bounded out of the seats and into the night, faint sproinking noises fading into the distance.
"Pinkie's right," Twilight said with determination. "You're all right. I need to step up the game. Applejack!"
"An' what about mah brother?" Applejack said angrily, still arguing with Rainbow Dash. "Most popular an' e-li-gi-ble bach'lor in Ponyville, if ah know the rumors right. The girls at home can't stop starin' at him!"
"Oh please," Rainbow scoffed, rolling her eyes dramatically. "The guy thinks girls have cooties! Did you see how he acted at the Fall Festival? The way he looked at Sweetcream Scoops, you'd think he was afraid she'd bite him."
"So maybe he don't like forward girls!" Applejack protested. "He's jus' waitin' fer Miss Right! And what does mah brother have ta do with this, anyhow?"
"Hey, you're the one who mentioned him!" Rainbow retorted. "Face it, Fluttershy gets more attention from guys than you."
"Um, Discord and I aren't like that…" Fluttershy tried to interject.
"Applejack!" Twilight shouted again, interrupting them. "I need to learn how to play the guitar!"
"The what now?" Applejack asked. "Why? Sorry, can't help ya there…"
"Eh, I could teach you," Rainbow Dash said. She noticed the others' surprised looks. "What? I said I used to date musicians. I can totally give you some guitar lessons." She yawned. "In the morning. I'm ready to drop. But great thinking, Twilight. Everypony knows playing the guitar gets you the girls."
"Right," Rarity said. "Guitar lessons in the morning, sleep now. Let's get back to the hotel for now. We'll see you tomorrow, Coco…" She looked concerned. "Are you sure we're not intruding too much on you?"
"You're not," Coco said. "I can't drop out now, can I?"
"Thank you," Rarity said. "Trixie is lucky to have a friend like you."
Coco blushed at the compliment. "It's nothing. Everypony needs a little help and generosity now and then."
Trixie was walking home in the evening air of downtown Manehattan. Actually, that's not correct. 'Bouncing' would be more accurate. There was a marked spring in her step, and she occasionally broke into outright skipping, humming a cheery tune to herself.
"Trixie!" a voice cried out. Coco Pommel ran up to her, panting heavily.
"Hi, Coco!" Trixie said happily. "What are you doing here?"
"Trixie, are you serious about this?" Coco asked. "Are you really going to let them fight over you? A few days ago you were practically unraveling because one pony was interested in you, and now…"
"Oh, I was," Trixie agreed. She smirked. "But then somepony convinced me to just play along. See what happens, enjoy the attention. After all, the Great and Powerful Trixie deserves to be treated like a lady, you said. So why shouldn't she get to be courted two times over?"
"Trixie…" Coco chided. "Is this some game to you? Getting back at Twilight?"
Trixie stared silently at her friend for several seconds. "Coco… I'm actually a little bit insulted by that. I promised myself once that I wouldn't cause trouble for those ponies again, you know. I have no intention of 'getting back' at anypony. Not anymore. On the other hoof…" She grinned. "It's just fair to give each contestant their shot at the prize, wouldn't you agree?"
"So you really are interested in Cheese Sandwich?" Coco inquired.
"He's handsome, independently wealthy, and funny in a crazy way," Trixie said. "Trixie could do worse. Besides, he understands the life of a traveling showpony. He…" He knows the need for freedom. "He understands Trixie's way of life."
"And Twilight Sparkle?" Coco continued.
"She's smart, nice, friendly, very pretty, and crazy in a funny way," Trixie said. "Plus the whole princess thing. Trixie could do much worse. So you can tell your friends that Trixie is in for the long game." She smirked. "Yes, Coco, Trixie has figured out your part in this little scheme."
"...Sorry," Coco mumbled.
"It's okay, Trixie is still your friend," Trixie said. She hugged Coco, and the seamstress briefly wondered when Trixie had become so affectionate. "It's probably for the best, anyway. It's good to have somepony on the inside. You can tell Twilight Sparkle that Trixie is rooting for her."
"You are?" Coco said, surprised.
"Certainly!" Trixie said proudly. "Of course, Trixie is rooting for Cheese Sandwich as well. Only fair, after all."
Coco sighed. "Have it your way, Trixie. Just… I'm worried for you, you know? I don't want to see you end up empty-hooved and heartbroken if you lose both. Good night, Trixie." She wandered off back home.
Trixie smiled wanly as her friend disappeared in the night. "Perhaps, Coco. Perhaps not. Still, it's Trixie's choice, isn't it?"
And elsewhere, at the very top of the Clydesler Building, a single pony gazed out over the city, and smiled wolfishly.
"Manehattan… the city that never sleeps…" Pinkie Pie chuckled darkly. "Rest now, little ponies, for when my party starts, you will never sleep, ever again! Mwahahahaha!" She rubbed her hooves in anticipation. "This time, though… this time I'll need some very special ponies… oh, won't they be happy to see me again?"
She stood gazing out over the city for another minute before a thought struck her. "Wait, how do I get down from here?"
Evening turned to morning, and morning turned to lunch, and lunch saw Trixie back at the Botanical Garden. It was her favorite place to eat, after all, and if some ponies felt the need to point and stare because Trixie was great and powerful enough to set the hearts of royalty aflame, then let them. Why did she care in the first place?
"This is unbelievable," she muttered.
"Yeah, get a load of this menu," Spike said. "Hundreds of entrees, and not a single thing with gems. You'd think this place was multicultural, but nooo…"
Her choice of lunchtime companion was unusual, though. Or it would have been if she'd had a choice to begin with. These days, it seemed everypony and everyone took liberties with her privacy.
"That's not what Trixie means and you know it," Trixie said. "Why are you here, dragon?"
"Oh, you know, Coco was caught up in some of her work, and I figured with the way things were going it might be a good idea for us to get to know each other a little better," Spike said. "You know, since Twilight keeps saying that you're so much better now, and all. Name's Spike, by the way. I guess we've never been introduced properly."
"Does she now," Trixie said. "Trixie is still surprised to see you, since you think Trixie is so… what was the word? 'Unbearable'?"
He glared at her. "Oh, come on. That was years ago. You know, the others are giving you another chance, so how about cutting us some slack in return, huh?" He returned to the menu. "Hmm, maybe I can just order an omelet and crush some emeralds over it…"
"Hmph. Fair enough," Trixie said. "Trixie appreciates the gesture. Waiter!" She flagged down a passing pony. "Trixie will have her usual cress salad with radish sprouts, some crisped beets and a hay shake. And an omelet for her companion."
"Hey, you don't have to order for me!" Spike protested. "Uh, and a glass of cider?" he added to the waiter, who rushed off.
Trixie rolled her eyes. "What, you have that antiquated notion that the stallion is supposed to make the order? How droll. You won't earn chivalry points on the behalf of your mistress, you know."
"'Mistress'?" he said, giving her a wry look. "That's kinda messed up."
Trixie shrugged. "Isn't that why she loves me, though? So, given any thought to what you'll do if things turn out the way she hopes?"
"Dunno," Spike said. "I'd hate to move out of the Ponyville library, but I guess it beats hanging around while you two are being all lovey-dovey and kissy-mushy."
"You think Trixie plans on moving back to that little town?" Trixie said with a snort. "That's a laugh."
"You seemed to like it just fine when you took it over," Spike said.
Silence.
"That wasn't… that wasn't the plan," Trixie said quietly. Her eyes were locked on the table. "I just wanted to show everypony how great I was. That I could match Twilight Sparkle. So they'd have to take me seriously again."
Spike swallowed nervously. He had enjoyed the light-hearted back-and-forth ribbing, but apparently even Trixie drew her lines in the sand, and he'd just stepped over them. "Sore point?" Trixie nodded. "I'm sorry."
"Thanks," she mumbled. "Let's just… drop it, okay?"
The silence returned for several seconds until their food arrived. Spike poked suspiciously at his omelet, then took out a large emerald and crushed it over his meal.
"Dragon diet, huh," Trixie said. "Isn't that a waste of valuable gems, though?"
"Emeralds are delicious," Spike said, digging into his meal with delight. "Don't knock it 'til you tried it."
"Unfortunately, ponies don't eat rocks," Trixie scoffed, taking a forkful of salad. "Well, except for that weird rock farmer Trixie used to know."
"Weird rock farmer who eats rocks?" Spike asked. "You mean Maud Pie?"
"You've met her?" she asked incredulously.
"She's Pinkie Pie's sister," he said. "Yeah, she's weird."
"Mm-hm," Trixie agreed. "Nice in her own strange way, though. Never said a mean word to Trixie."
"Yeah, I guess," Spike agreed. He couldn't imagine Maud caring enough to bother insulting anypony to begin with.
They continued to eat in silence for a while. "You know what this place needs?" Spike suddenly said. "Some music!" He snapped his claws.
In response, a guitar chord rang out from above. Twilight Sparkle dropped out of the sky, perched on a small cloud and holding an acoustic guitar in her hooves. She looked serene as she strummed the instrument by magic and raised her voice.
She studies the classic works, from the ancient ages before
'Watch now in awe' she says, just like great Kimono
A built-in challenge for the Elements of Harmony
At anytime an invitation you can't decline
"That's better," Spike said with a smirk. "You like?"
Trixie felt her lips curl into a tiny smile. "Trixie likes. Of course, Mercury Free's songs lose a bit on simple acoustic, but…"
Twilight twitched involuntarily, but continued to play.
Aperitifs and apple pies, confident in any scene, extraordinarily sweet
She's a Magic Queen, fireworks that make you scream
Smoke and mirror, magic beam, guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
"Still, you have to be a little impressed," Spike said quickly. "Would you believe that she didn't know a single chord this morning?"
"Really?" Trixie cooed. "Now that's something. Fast learner, huh? Trixie will blow your mind any day, princess." She blew a kiss at Twilight, who furiously laid into the next verse.
Recommended at the price, insatiable in appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications she always kept on the move
In conversations she always had something to prove
Met a dragon from Chineigh
Went down to Honah-Lee
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Twilight put the guitar aside and leaned down, leveling her best and most rehearsed sultry look at Trixie. But before she could say anything, a nearby bush exploded and disgorged Cheese Sandwich, accordion in his hooves. Two stallions appeared behind him, both wearing sunglasses and carrying a guitar and a small drum set respectively. He donned a pair of shades of his own and they began to play.
I've got a magical filly
(Tell us what she's like)
A stage miracle really
(Does she ride or hike?)
She has a starry costume
(She likes to dress in style)
And intoxicating perfume
(But most I like her smile)
Oh, her flowing mane is blowing in a transcendental wind
And she wonders without knowing, where did we begin…
Twilight stood up on her cloud and pushed her mane back with a determined look. A bolt of magic erupted from her horn and into the guitar, warping the sound.
I was hers, from the moment we first met
With a simple magic spell it took no time
Call it fate, or just two hearts enchanted
But I never felt so good since I've been hers…
I've got a love so pure, yes a love so sure
The kind of love you hold so tight
I've got a love so pure, yes a love so sure
The kind of love that lasts a mare for life
Cheese tossed the accordion aside and grabbed the guitar from his fellow player, tearing into a new song.
She's my magic pie,
Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise.
Tastes so good, make a stallion cry,
Sweet magic pie.
Swingin' on the main stage,
Swingin' on the road.
Swingin' where we want,
Cause she calls no place her home.
Swingin' to the left,
And swingin' to the right.
If I think about hoofball,
I'll swing all night, yeah.
"Wait, is he… implying what it sounds like he's implying?" Spike asked nervously.
"Depends," Trixie said. She winked at Cheese and blew him a kiss as well. "Are you old enough to know what he might be implying?"
All of a sudden the sky split into a cascade of colors, and Rainbow Dash rocketed out of the clouds and landed next to Twilight, a synthesizer strapped to her chest. They nodded to each other. Twilight grinned confidently and they started playing.
It's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm – but she blinded me with magic
She blinded me with magic!
And fooled me with some sleight of hoof
When she's dancing next to me
Blinding me with magic – magic!
Magic!
I can hear thunder storms
Blinding me with magic – magic!
Magic!
Mmm – but it's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The sun and moon high above
The elements of harmony
Mmm – but she blinded me with magic
And dazzled me with fireworks
"You gotta love this one, though," Spike said confidently. "What do you say, Trixie? Trixie?"
"I… I…" Trixie stammered.
"What's the matter?" Spike asked. "You've gone all red."
"It's… good," Trixie said quickly. "Yes, really good." She buried her face in the remains of the salad.
When I'm dancing close to her
Magic!
I can smell the black powder
Blinding me with magic – magic!
Magic!
Magic!
It's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The sun and moon high above
The elements of harmony
She blinded me with magic
She blinded me with magic!
And hit me with some wondrous spells...
Trixie drained her shake and placed the cup on her empty plate. "We must do this again, Spike. This lunch has been far more pleasant than expected. But now Trixie must be off. Give my regards to the princess, won't you?" She turned to leave.
"Uh, okay?" Spike said uncertainly. "So, uh, which one did you like best?"
Trixie glanced back and smiled, before running off, laughing softly.
Twilight jumped off the cloud and landed next to Spike. She gave a courteous nod to Cheese, who doffed his hat grandly before dashing off in another direction. "So, how did she take it? Did she like it? Did she?"
"Well, the good news is, you probably scored a few points this round," Spike said. "I get the feeling she really liked the last one."
"Yes!" Twilight cheered. "Um, what's the bad news?"
"She stiffed us with the lunch bill," he said.
5022298 I suppose so
I'm with Coco. Pick one now or lose both, Trixie.
I must say that Trixie makes a good case for Cheese Sandwich. Their lifestyles are more compatible than her's and Twilight's
Cue side quest where AJ and Dash inflict themselves on the stallions and mares of Manehatten in order to beat out the other in finding a date. Possibly even multiple dates.
Wow, that went all eleven kinds of awesome by the end of the chapter.
Wow. Wow. WOW! I know I should have seen that coming, or something, but I totally didn't.
Can I push the green thumb again? No. No, I can't.
But that was awesome. I look forward to whatever you have in store for us next.
i dont like trixie no more. this cannot end well
CHAOS IN MANEHATTEN!
But Discord is nowhere to be seen.
I had just finished the last chapter after adding this to my favs and and update already. I did like this chapter very much some of the links didn't work stating that the videos are no-longer available, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the chapter. Trixie is playing a dangerous game though, toying with two ponies hearts, although she is correct that each deserves a fair chance it could also end up with her loosing both of them. Excellent chapter once again and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Twilight the magnetic hero is going into Lesson Zero mode levels of obsession.
It's all fun and games until Twilight orders her friends to distract Cheese Sandwich with a plot.
It would be really hilarious at this point if one of Twilight's friends fell in love with Trixie behind her back. She's already trying too hard as it is and the problem can still be compounded if all her friends started seeing something in Trixie they liked given Twilight is a contagious influence on all of them.
With that said, Trixie can totally 'wreck some face' here in any meaning of those words.
Truth to be told Trixie has everything to win and nothing to lose. If Cheese Sandwich gets her Trixie wins a wealthy stallion that shares her lifestyle as an entertainer but if Twilight gets her Trixie wins an adorable princess who shares her passion of magic.
And even if she looses both of them, she still can continue enjoying the life she was having before this began, but at least she got to be spoiled during the process.That is, unless she starts longing for MOOOOORE!!!!!
5022454
You never know. He may decide to revel in the madness that will undoubtedly come about from pinkie's party and twilight's obsession.
I like this. I'm a little over Cheese now, but if he wins I'll hurt you.
Catty bitch!
Nah. I'm kidding, I like Trixie here. Which is odd, I'm usually against Trixie as a whole. You've made her likeable, but believable in her character from the show. Bravo.
Hahahaha! Yeah right! This is what Rainbow would do if she trotted into a bar....
Why not the gang just set Cheese Sandwich up with Pinkie Pie so Twilight will have Trixie all to herself?
This Cheese Sandwich plot is REALLY completely pointless and Trixie encouraging it makes her look like an utter bitch. There was more than enough material in Twilight courting her, we don't need this hyper-cliche romcom crap.

I want to cancel out the downvote on this comment without upvoting it
but of course there is no way to do that
And suddenly the video is no longer available.
5023295 i match your refrenc. And i raise you one russhin 5 finger filet round.
5023588
... What did I do? D:
You know I would really like it if you replied to one of my comments.
5022497 5023295 The links don't work for you? That's strange, they work fine for me... I have no idea how to remedy that, but the original songs are Queen's "Killer Queen", Dead Eye Dick's "New Age Girl", Puffy Amiyumi's "Love So Pure", Warrant's "Cherry Pie" and Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science".
5022911 Glad to hear it.
5023094 Sorry to hear it.
5023588 Please don't start fighting, okay?
5024433 I'm sorry, I thought I did. Was there something you wanted a more elaborate answer to?
5022422 As long as this isn´t going to far, i say she deserved to have a bit fun. (Fluttershy/Trixie/Chrysalis/Coco Pommel/Scootaloo) are some of my favourite Ponys/fillys/Changeling, so i can´t be mad with them to much. Twilight and Rarity and the rest of the main six, well i love them each for a different reason.
I think two more times she can do it and then she have to choose, well i would say that now, if the story don´t end after that. I want at least a few Chapters with them as special someponys. Maybe even a funny double date.
Somehow everytime i see Cheese Sandwich more as a threat than as a good Pony. I know what he should be probably, but i don´t like him as much as Pinkie or other Ponies.
Good Chapter, i think it is one of my favourite chapters so far.w even if i don´t listen to every music.
nope haven't responded to a single one until this one (heck I don't think you've answered my questions on your other stories) it's comment 150.
EDIT: Yeah just checked Trixie white and the seven fillies and Trixie's performance is murder you didn't reply to them or any comment I made on every chapter purposefully.
5024565 If we're going to split hairs, then yes, I did answer your comment earlier.
That said, I'm not actually required to respond to comments unless I want to, especially comments that aren't inquiries or where a proper reply might spoil upcoming events. I'm intentionally ignoring comments that make predictions, because while they're entertaining I don't want to give anything away ahead of time. And sometimes I just don't have an answer that warrants making a post.
And nagging isn't encouraging.
I kinda hope Trixie overdoes it and everyone grows tired of her shit.
5024630
I'm sorry if I upset you that wasn't my intention, it's just I felt a bit slighted that you weren't responding but there's some sort of error check comment 150 because on my side it shows it's unresponded.
What I meant was that Coco loved Trixie.
The Nightmare moon Jr line as well as the other mentions of Luna and the nightmares have me drawing parallels to an email I sent you.
The story itself is good, but it's no longer to my liking. I wanted a romantic story, rather than Trixie playing a game with love. It's not that I find it unfair or even boring, but I personally don't like these sort of stories. I might read a few more chapters when they appear, but I currently don't like where the story is going. It's good though, don't get me wrong.
5024686 I figured. But elaborating on the characters' feelings beyond what is established or suggested so far would count as spoilers. People seem to like speculating. If there are any unanswered questions after the story is over, I might answer them then.
As for that other project, I haven't forgotten, and I'm still interested. But I have priorities, particularly real-life matters. It'll happen when it happens.
If you have any personal matters you want to discuss, please take it to private messages, okay? They're easier to keep track of.
5024776 Everyone has their expectations, and if this doesn't meet yours then that's that. I won't tell you that the story is going to take this or that turn that might better appeal to you because that would be spoilers. It's up to you if you want to read further, and I hope you've enjoyed yourself so far. I've dropped plenty of stories suddenly going in directions I don't like, so I'd be a hypocrite to say otherwise.
Great story so far. Cheese's family is in Manehatten, right? Maybe they could help him out. And 5022351 has a good point, it would be pretty unrealistic for Trixie to return to Ponyville, even without bad blood that town is too small to support a full time entertainer. I could still see Twilight and Trixie making it work, after all alicorn Twilight is probably able to teleport to wherever Trixie is and back to Ponyville on a regular basis, it just seems incredibly unlikely Trixie would go back herself.
5022353
Funny you should say that, having read a few of the earlier drafts, you would be on to something, which now probably isn't happening.
you have wonderful taste in music!!!
Trixie actually makes a really good point. Even if Twilight's personality and interests (and apparently, taste in corny synthpop ) mesh better with her own, Trixie's probably got too much wanderlust to seriously consider settling down. That'd be pretty disastrous in the long term.
I love the last song.
But I kind of have to agree with what someone said on the last chapter - everything was great until Cheese showed up. Just weirdness from then on. But hey, it's your story.
Oh good effin' lord the music was made of condensed, concentrated win. I loved this chapter.
Also, kudos for having Spike be relevant in this. *Applauds*
Ah the good ship Mauxie to a huge hit in this one.
Keep up the good work.
I just realized... if Spike is strong enough to crush an emerald to bits with just his grip strength... sweet Celestia have mercy on anyone or anything he decides to attack.
5144027
I crush emeralds with my bare claws. With every glass I handle, every book I shelve, every hoof I shake, I have to hold back, so I don't break something - or someone.
But you... You can handle it, can't you big guy?
- Spike's World of Cardboard speech
A music battle? You really like the silly, don't ya? It's a good thing I realized the kind of story this was from chapter 1 or I'd be all over how ridiculous this is. It's a shame I'm at work and can't listen to the linked videos, I didn't recognize two of the songs by the lyrics alone.
BATTLE OF THE BANDS omg! what next who got the dipper pocks. mean the most cost gift?
Twilight's getting a bit worse than just merely obsessive at this point
Actually, it feels like Trixie is leading Twilight on in order to force Twilight out of what Trixie probably views as her shell. Trixie might not know much about Twilight's mannerisms, but getting her to learn guitar and play a performance in the restaurant? That's making a potential marefriend more interesting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuXJSnDFUFs as far as Trixie having wanderlust, click that link, the song describes the situation well.- The Shipshelf
Rainbow Dash didn't mean it like that.
I can't believe this story was pre-season 7
Because this chapter was an episode if i remember correctly.
Big Mac vs JB Pone for that one baker girl's affection.
