Yes! It's finally here!

Your hundredth story? I can C that.

What have you done?

What have you done?

I am not so sure why you were worried SS&E, so far this hasn't been half bad.

test in a brave new world where everything becomes Trixie.

Just as the old gods intended.

I think the only word that can adequately describe what will transpire here is "kaizo." I look forward to it.

You know, this feels like it could have been a perfect take off for The Langoliers, Equestria style...

...and now that I've just said that, I need to see if somebody actually has written such a thing yet.

I suspect the fancy restaurant will eventually have as its special a three-course meal of peanut butter crackers, pinecones and hay shakes.

Also, deep grooves and trenches? Ponies pulling objects using skids instead of wheels?

... Zap zap z-zap! Blinking to our destination! Courtesy of everypony's favorite zaponator!"
"I... uh..." Twilight rubbed her hooves pensively together. "...I-I would like to keep my teleportation spells to a minimum."
"Oh?" Fluttershy blinked. "Why is that?"
Twilight clenched her teeth, blanching slightly. "I'd rather not talk about it.""

Now doesn't that sound like an interesting story...

Soon, Twilight's courage and sanity will be put to the test in a brave new world where everything becomes Trixie.

This sounds like Seth's ideal world.

"Rainbow Dash hates trains," Rarity droned.

I guess Rainbow Dash remembers what happened to the guy who liked trains... :pinkiehappy:

I'd quote a line to leave a positive comment about, but there are just too many awesome lines for it to be practical.

100 stories.

You did it, you old fuzzbutt. :rainbowlaugh:

Now...what ridiculousness do you have in store for your audience now?

BOOM fuckin 100 stories right there. Not even gonna guess how mych Dr. Pepper was drank during the making of this.

Well, I guess if I could fly at the speed of sound, I probably wouldn't like trains much either.

"Schnorrrrrrrrrr...!" Applejack contributed.

Sounds as good of an argument as ever.

Also, congrats on the 100th story, Skirts! :pinkiehappy:

"Eughhh..." Twilight rolled her eyes as she shuffled in front of Pinkie Pie. "You know, Rarity, nopony asked you to come along."

"Uh!" Rarity gasped. "And just what was my other choice? To stay inside that cramped, stuffy train?!

Rarity, weren't you just saying how comfy and cozy the train was? :ajbemused:

"Uhhhhhh..." Applejack looked at Rainbow Dash, then back at the railroad tracks. "Yeah, no. That ain't happenin'."

Well, you were offered.

"You know, Fluttershy," Rarity cooed, trotting alongside the mare as she held the umbrella up for both of them. "If you're feeling uncomfortable, you don't have to endure the trek on our behalf."

"Huh?" Fluttershy looked over, blinking. "Why, what do you mean, Rarity?"

If her flying pace is the same as their walking pace under regular circumstances, then it's whatever, right?

I'll just buy her tickets to Disneigh World and call it a day."

"That's your answer to everything, darling," Rarity yawned.

"I'd like to see you come up with somethin' better."

I get the feeling this applies to you in real life, Skirts.

6661532 in accordance with the prophecy.

All that stuff about sapphire and being infusible... All I can think is Steven Universe. What is it actually about though?

Come on RD, be reasonable. Trains really are the best way for you guys to travel. We've seen Twilight do a (semi) long distance teleport once, and that was with the power of 4 alicorns. As for flying, you know how weak of flyers Fluttershy and Twilight are! You're the only pony in the mane 6 with long distance capabilities that surpass that of a train.

I gotta admit though: I can see why being cooped up in a train would be infuriating to Dash. The mare's gotta fly :rainbowdetermined2:

Pinkie looked up, blinking. "Is anypony even listening to me?"

Of course we are Pinkie...

Definitely the best chapter yet.

FWOOOOOOOOSH! Rainbow rolled in, her forelimbs full of tiny plastic packages. "Booyakashaaaa!"

...that sounds familiar...

Disneigh World, where AJ drops off Applebloom every weekend with a bottle of vodka and 5 tickets. Let's hear it for Best Big Sister!

Dat Steven Universe reference.

"Hey, guess you're a squid, kid."

Huh... Skirts is playing Splatoon?

This chapter:


"10/10 Story of the year" IGN " Legendary" - Sethiso, Equestria Daily

"11/10 with rice" - that reddit guy "Ponies"- Muffin "Derpy" Hooves

"Like skyrim with ponies" Machinima "meh" - Roger Ebert

This entire chapter... omg... I love it. I love it so much. They're just sitting there talking.

This is what true friendship looks like. Just yammering on about silly, dumb, inconsequential things for hours on end.

I miss these scenes in the show. And in real life.

Welp.

There goes my hope of ending my day with something resembling normalcy.




"Let me guess. We're about to go over a huge waterfall."
"Yep."
"Sharp rocks at the bottom?"
"Most likely."
"Bring it on."

I get the feeling this applies to you in real life, Skirts.

Seems like a pretty easy way to get him to barf up more delicious ponywords, too.

Sounds fun. Unlike spending that much time in a bus.

6661676 Never read Langoliers, but someone already wrote something similar. Have you heard of shortskirtsandexplosions?

"It's happening," she said.
"No," I corrected her. "It's trixiening."

Well, here in Paraguay we do get a lot of brazilian tourists. And immigrants. They can actually blend more or less well until they start talking or we hear their names.

"So what's stopping us from skipping the train, the wait, and the boredom altogether and just... y'know... Zap zap z-zap! Blinking to our destination! Courtesy of everypony's favorite zaponator!"

O-oh. :twilightblush::heart:

Fluttershy gasped, then bent down to pick up a cricket standing on a sidewalk.

:ajbemused: Jiminy! What are you doing on that sidewalk?!
