Witching Hour


This is my circus and these are my monkeys aren't they? Carp.

This story is a sequel to Steady as She Flies


Recruit Squad Alpha's captain, Dusk Glimmer, has been running interference between the Streak Twins of Squad Three and their younger sister, Aurora Streak, for five years now. So far, the difference in rank has kept them from interacting, but due to a certain deserter's flashy departure from the Wonderbolts, that barrier is gone and now the two squads (and their feuding siblings) are slated to be on a train and in the most media-saturated city in Equestria for upwards of three days...

Whatever happens, Captain Dusk Glimmer is going to have a migraine by the end of it... And probably a huge budget deficit.

This story immediately follows the events of Flying Sky High by Calm Wind - and between chapters 10 & 11 of Steady as She Flies.

I assume I'm not meant to see this?

Oh well to the reading I go.

Muahahahahahahahahahahaha!

:rainbowderp: I have no idea how you're able to read it since I haven't submitted it yet... :trixieshiftright:

Having known about this for ages....

Not to mention having -written- Aurora Streak and Glimmer in the chapter "Return to Wonder" for my Daring story...

Yes, Aurora is Super Happy Fun Ball... on steroids :pinkiecrazy:

“Baby, if you let me, I’d be the Captain of your ship,” Lightning replies, even as Fire rolls his eyes and Glimmer to recoil away from him slightly in disgust.

Still the best Lighting Streak line of all time outside of the stuff Calm writes :rainbowlaugh:

Aurora and Glimmer make such a cute couple.

What...? Nimbus and Blitz were thinking it!

I think I laughed myself silly reading Glimmer's rant :rainbowlaugh:

But then again, I helped write it, so I think that was mostly pride :rainbowdetermined2:

I just love Spitfire's ranting in this.

I also love this comment:

“And a partridge in a pear tree…” Aurora mutters under her breath

Because, seriously, Aurora Streak just makes me want to smile, and facepalm at the same time. :facehoof:

I wonder how long it'll take for their punishment to end. All four of them doing laundry together, is there a medic on standby?

The medic is gonna be Spitfire's spy to know when they're fighting again...

And actually, I'm pretty sure Fire and Glimmer get out of actually doing laundry after about two weeks to a month... After that, they're set to be the watchers while Aurora and Lightning continue their trend for a fair while longer... At least another month beyond that... Possibly as many as 5 more. :scootangel:

6577693

Yea, i can see those two getting out early, but Lightnings mouth would have him on permanent laundry duty. Maybe it will get him to clean up his ways... Naw, this is Lightning we are talking about.

And Chief Witching hour would make a good spy, right?

OOH! New stuff! :pinkiehappy: (kicks the shambled mess of Shadowbolts Chapter 5 behind a desk)

Awesome work. :pinkiesmile: Being an older brother myself, I fully empathize with Fire's motivations in this story. Definitely the pick-me-up I needed.

Older sister speaking, myself... It wasn't hard to imagine how a younger sibling to Fire & Lightning would feel about them. Aurora's relationship is kind of an unspoken, worst-kept secret in the Compound.

In his own way, Lightning does look out for her too... He's just got a piss poor way of stating it... But yeah... I know exactly how Fire feels... I still run social interference for my own brother, even at ages 30 and 28 respectively.

I'm glad I could help pick up your mood! :scootangel: It was a lot of fun to write... Though I think I had the most fun having Spitfire tear them all to shreds in the last chapter... :pinkiecrazy:

It was a whole lot of fun to write. :twilightsmile: I'm really looking forward to starting on the Sequel of Doom so I can bring Alpha back. :twistnerd:

“And a partridge in a pear tree…” Aurora mutters under her breath

Thank you very much for reading! I'm glad you found this so amusing. Glimmer is one of my few, semi-personal OCs... And I'm apparently very scary when angry...
But not as scary as Spitfire. :pinkiecrazy:

9722745
Hah tell me about it there's no difference between spitfire and a firecracker both would blow up in your face with no mercy

If you want something else interesting/amusing/hilarious to read from the collection my friends and I have created, I recommend The Troll Squad. :pinkiehappy: Enjoy!
