Sleepy Panda


Some people are morning birds, other people are night owls. Me? I'm some sort of permanently exhausted pigeon.

E

When a spell goes awry, the only pony who can help Sweetie Belle is nowhere to be seen. With an apple-crazy mare getting on her nerves, an angry mob chasing after her, and Fluttershy shutting her out, what else can she do? RUN!!


Story idea given to me by Fonypan.

Thanks to Silv3r Shadow and PinkiePieFox for helping with this.

Alright, this story made me chuckle a couple of times.

Thanks for writing! :twilightsmile:

I loved this. You are such a great writer.

Buck you! Lol :rainbowlaugh:

5850679 What can I say, I loved it!

5850702 You have no idea how good it feels to hear that.:pinkiehappy:

5850707 No problem! It was great! And really funny.

"Well... Buck you!"

Best. Line. Ever.

well...buck you


just got real

Now I need a new story to edit. Anypony interested?

That was pretty entertaining. Good going. :twilightsmile:

Buck you... :twilightoops::unsuresweetie:
have a like

YOU MAD, BRO!

5871448 YES QUITE SO, MY GOOD PONY.

5879932 WHY ARE WE YELLING?!

5879942 NO IDEA WHY.Let's just talk normal.

5879955 K, that's a good idea. PM me n' stuff; comments on stories give me a ridiculous amount of notifications and spams my email.

One problem. Your story is indecisive. It constantly changes from 1st person to third person.

5882709 It does? Not sure how I missed that... can you point some places out where I go into first person?

5882716 Righto, give me a sec.

5882716 Huh. Only one place actually does it:

"Sweetie Belle, I know you're upset, but-" Sweetie Belle whirled around to see Twilight standing behind her with pleading eyes. Ugh, she must have teleported herself here or something, Sweetie Belle thought bitterly. I remember hearing Rainbow Dash mention to Rarity that she's terrible at flying, so she must have used her fancy magic skills to follow me.

That end part I put in bold because I had thought it was in First Person. After re-reading, I think you just forgot to put it in Italics.. . .

5883181 Yeah, I forgot the italics. :twilightsheepish:

damn I dIdnt catch that eIther

Sorry, but Celestia's characterization is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Why would she lie to get Twilight to come to Canterlot and why would she and Luna coerce her to stay when she's clearly dealing with an emergency at home?

5899938 Yeah, I'll admit that characterization is one of my weaker points as a writer. How can I improve it to make her character more accurate?

5900695

Glad to be of assistance. Let me take a look...

Dear Twilight,

Changelings and timberwolves have united and are attacking Canterlot. They have captured my sister and are now heading after Cadence. Please hurry over as quickly as you can and help me save Canterlot before it is razed by angry creatures.

~Princess Celestia

Celestia and Luna are the most powerful ponies in Equestria and if both were susceptible to kidnapping, especially by changelings, all of Equestria and the Crystal Kingdom would be in complete panic. There would be no one powerful enough, not even alicorns Twilight or Cadence, to raise the sun or the moon with the entire land stuck on either permanent day or night. It would also be a miracle if Celestia could get through to Spike in order to send that letter.

"There never was an attack. We knew you would be too busy to remember it was your birthday, much less accept an invitation to your own party."

If I was Twilight and Celestia did this to me, I would renounce my status as her student. Lying about changeling attack, which Equestria previously dealt with, would be akin to shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater. Nightmare Moon, Discord, King Sombra and Lord Tirek have caused similar scares, if not even worse, so Equestria has every reason to be on edge.

“Oh Twilight, do try to relax for once,” Luna suggested. “Enjoy your party. After all, it’s only your birthday once a year.”

“Yes, I agree,” Celestia said. “You should try the cake; it’s really good.”

...

Luna shook her head sadly and watched the younger Alicorn fly away. “She really has to loosen up a bit,” she remarked, taking a small bite of her cake. Celestia didn’t reply. Her mouth was too full of cake for her to talk.

Celestia lures Twilight, who has problems of her own in Ponyville, to Canterlot with a big fat lie and she doesn't show any remorse for it? And to top it off, neither she nor Luna seem to have any concern for her or Sweetie Belle? They should be cancelling the party instead of telling Twilight to chill out. At the very least, one of the two should be helping her look for Sweetie Belle who for all she may know could be in grave danger. A surprise birthday party is no excuse to forget about an emergency and the princesses of all characters should know better.

If you specifically want to improve Celestia's characerization in this fic, you could change her letter to say something to the extent of Shining Armor being in town since Twilight is very close to her brother. Here are a few things to remember, otherwise:
-Virtually everypony in Equestria looks up to Celestia, especially Twilight since she is her personal student.
-She is easily the most powerful pony in the show, having defeated pretty much every villain I mentioned before with her magic.
-She would never lie about something as serious as a changeling or timberwolf invasion, especially to Twilight.

Hope this helps.

5952859 On the contrary, it does help.

5952866 ok I'll keep to myself. You know what you're doing so keep it up.

Do you think that this story would make it onto Equestria Daily?

5903096 What does the writing in your avatar say?

5851363 What does the writing in your avatar say?
5850446 Who is the person in your avatar?

5989284 I doubt it, but who knows? I could be wrong.

It would need a lot of editing and touching up before I even considered submitting it, though.

5989286

Luna is saying "HA HA! The dare has been doubled!"

this is positively wonderfully mad mad and i love i
