Nightmare Moon has been banished, the day has been saved, and that's the end of it, right? Wrong. For 1000 years Celestia has not been idle, she has been recruiting anypony she can into a guild known as the Dream Walkers. The group's highest rank, an elite team known as the Nightmare Corps, have worked for 10 centuries, attempting to rid Nightmare Moon's influence from the Lunar Princess's mind. The tale follows the story of Dream Weaver, a member of the corps, who, after Nightmare's defeat and the coronation of Princess Twilight, finds herself in a rather different situation; Babysitting Equestria's biggest set of trouble magnets.
Rated teen for naughty words, violence, and adult themes
Chapters (4)
By "Equestria's biggest set of trouble magnets", I'm assuming that you mean the Mane 6.
Right?
Never really heard them referred to that way before, but whatever horseshoe fits........
5042306 Yup. Though...my description is kinda vague...it could also mean the CMC.....but I stand by the fact that the mane six attract more 'destroy everything and take equestria as my own!' kinds of trouble than the CMC do.
5042306 Id assume so.I mean, they kinda ARE magnets for trouble... I mean, how often has ponyville nearly been destroyed since Twi showed up? Too many times...
5042319 Well, maybe just a bit. But you're right there.
Although, like you, I think that it describes the Mane 6 better than it does the Crusaders!
I mean, just look at some of the messes that Twilight and Company get their plots into! They're the very definition of "disaster magnets"!!!
Heck, you should just see some of the messes that they get into in some of my fic-scenarios!!!
5042361 Yep, on both counts.
And you're more than right there!
I mean, just how often did the good citizens of Ponyville have to worry about things like crazy Chaos Lords, egotistical magicians; etc.; coming to town before our favorite lavender unicorn-turned-Alicorn moved to there? Not very often (if at all), I'd wager.
5042378 *nods* My point exactly. I mean, hell, look at what happens when Twilight's OCD starts acting up, or when Pinkie can't get over some abandonment issues. The six themselves are ticking time bombs wrapped in barb wire with just a smidgen of crazy.
5042391 Very well put, my dear. Very well put, indeed.
And can I borrow that last sentence that you put in there? I have a situation in one of the fics that I'm working on that it'd work perfectly in!
Actually, I wanted something for my OC, Wolf, to yell at the girls when they drag her, (rather against her will (translation: kicking and screaming, pretty much literally), of course) into one of their l'il...e-hem..."escapades" and as they're hiding out from the baddies in that particular chapter.
You know, something along the lines of:
"You girls are nuts! No! I take that back! You're way more than nuts! You're bucking ticking time bombs wrapped in barb wire with just a smidgen of crazy, and, my friends or not, I should've known better than to let myself get dragged into one of your crazy adventures!!!"
But if you say "no", that's okay, too.
Just for that, I'm reading this story. Myah.
> just a smidgen of crazy
> just
> smidgen
I'd say a rather large amount of crazy, personally.
5042424 Go right ahead and use it ^^ I'm falttered
5042554 All things are relative, dear. To you what's a heck of a lot of crazy is just a smidgen to another, and when your world has magic out the wazoo...and discord, I say a smidgen is just the right amount. It doesn't go beyond that without something there to fan the flames, as it were.
5042592
Pinkie is the crazy, Twilight is gasoline. She's so flammable, she once burst into flames!
That'll teach you to use metaphors.
5042619 .....i....think I don't understand....no...metaphors...? Is that...possible?
5042555 Thank you, dear heart. I shall.
Now all I gotta do is get Wolf and the girls to cooperate with me. For once. Corralling 7 Pony Muses ain't exactly the easiest job in the world.
*glares at Applejack after getting beaned with an apple, after which said pony tries to look innocent of the "crime"*
See what I have to put up with?
Anyway, I loved this chapter. I especially liked how you introduced filly Twilight and filly Pinkie in it. Very well done.
I especially liked the bit of how you introduced Twi by having her peeking out from behind Princess Celestia's right rear leg. That's almost exactly the way that Wolf meets AJ when the two of 'em are just wee fillies (translation: 4 years old). Only Wolf is peeking out at AJ from behind the left hind leg of her adopted mother, Fallingleaf, not quite sure what to make of her, or the rest of the Apple family, as she's never seen any ponies before that. (Her adopted family and tribe are a group of cervines that I call the Great Deer Folk, and they live in villages in the Everfree Forest.)
5042708 Truthfully, I thought "What would be funny here to break up the whole 'dad's gettin' a job thing'?...Pinkie Cameo!"
5042944
Well, that is a good idea! I doff my Stetson to you, m' dear!
They're sisters?! :o
5283441 Well technically, half sisters, but sisters none the less. ^^ Dream is older by about a year or so, maybe longer, and neither one really knew of the other one's existence until now. Dream had no contact with her mother after she was a month old, and Hazel (both mares' mother) never mentioned the Weavers.
5283945 I understand they're half sisters, it's just that my brother and two sisters are actually half brother and half sisters. I was raised to treat them and think of them as true brother and sisters, so I do. So in my eyes they're sisters.
5285525 I'm not saying you shouldn't, I also have a half brother, I'm just tryin' to explain myself a bit better
5285594 Was all a misunderstanding then ^.^
