Pinkie Pie has come to a realization.

Since she and Applejack are (kind of, probably) related, the only thing better than that would be to make sure ALL of her friends are related! Good thing she has come up with a plan. And a chart.

Now she just has to convince her friends of the best way to link them all together ...

Things may get a little silly.

Wow that was amazing I loved the back and forth between the mane 6 it was all very funny actually especially rainbow with her "something something":rainbowlaugh:

nopony's giving anypony battle axes

Well, then https://youtu.be/MTc3zcnIZOw

Hah! Pinkie in shipping mood is a menace! Good job with everypony's characters, and that bit of RariJack. And of course, it's the quiet ones who have the secret depths...

Overall, a very fun read. :pinkiehappy:

“To who?” Twilight regretted the question as soon as it left her lips.

Because, obviously, it should have been "to whom".  She felt so embarrassed, but luckily none of her friends seemed to have caught the grammatical blunder.  :twilightblush:

But seriously, this was a great read. :twilightsmile:

I reviewed this story!

My review can be found here.

I really want to know why fluttershy wanted to know more.

“Pinkie Pie's only getting a little more organized, that's all. I dare
say Twilight's been a good influence on her.”

“Pinkie Pie's only getting a little more organized, that's all. I dare say Twilight's been a good influence on her.”

Ain't much for fancy old timey talk anyway. Now, if that's all settled, I'd better get back to the farm, make sure Applebloom hasn't caused too much of a ruckus.

Apple Bloom

I told you, I've been doing my research in Ancient Cloudsdalian, and those pegaususes used to marry ponies off to each other all the time.

pegasi

or if your using an 'es version as an artistic choice for Pinkie Pie talking. It'd be pegasuses .

Poor Pinks, now she won't know they're magically choosen super concubines that can have each others magic lesbian babies as she called them. What with Fluttershy being who she is, I bet she wouldn't mind watching over their combined spawn. Although if they get any Alicorn foals those would be the best sort of chaos.

“Er, Pinkie?” Twilight said, “As much as I- as much of all of us appreciate what you're trying to do, there are certain … factors you might not have considered.”

“As much as I- as much of all of us"

I get the feeling that a certain alicorn is not entirely against the idea of all of them getting together with each other.

“Can you … tell me more about the concubine thing? You know, uh, for research.”

Ah Fluttershy, I've always known you were the most twisted pony of all. :pinkiecrazy:

Anyway, this was a rather silly yet fun little trip with excellent characterization for everyone in the story.

HiddenMaster out.

Found this whilst looking for updates to "Process of Elimination". You really like stories where Fluttershy has questions for Twilight about royal harems. It does make me want to see a couple more chapters of that, but this story is certainly good enough to stand on its own. It felt like there was some meta-commentary about badly done shipping going on here, but it managed it without being preachy and it made me laugh.

“I like to think of this part as 'phase three,' which I'm keeping open ended right now, since Twilight's not gonna marry Big Macintosh. That just means I need to think of something else! Like, maybe Twilight can marry Rainbow Dash, or maybe she can marry Fluttershy! And then I marry whoevers's left, and I think that'll be official enough to make all of us technically FAMILY! Yay!”

Wouldn't the plan have worked just as well if Pinkie married Twilight and Rainbow married Fluttershy?

No it's Apple Bloom it's a two word name. Like Granny Smith, or Big McIntosh / Big Mac.

On her toys, her CCG card, even the show itself [go to :04] has it as Apple Bloom.

That while Apples do Bloom Applebloom isn't a word.

Now Applejack is one word and is the name for Hard Cider made via Cold Fractional Distillation, aka Fractional Freezing.

I might not agree with Applejack/Rarity and Rainbow's "somethingsomething" but I have to say, you really got the dialogue perfect for each character. Not many fimfics can brag about that!

Amazing! I really enjoy this :raritywink:
Too bad it wasn't PinkieDash (':

You know, I love how you wove the whole TwiShy thing in through your other stories. Reading back through them, the two are adorable together.

“Yeah! Swords are totally rad!” Rainbow Dash pumped a hoof enthusiastically. “Dibs on the katana! SWOOSH SWOOSH SHWHUPAAAAH.” The pegasus mimed swinging a deadly blade around the room in a manner that, had she been wielding a real blade, would have cut her own legs off before doing any harm to anypony else.

As someone with a katana, trust me, they're cool, but they're not that easy to use, they're fairly heavy, and yeah, they can cut through like 2 pig carcasses, which is roughly 2 human bodies if properly sharpened, but you do need a certain amount of training to be able to use one right. You don't have that.

My god but Pinkie Pie was annoying as all-hell by the... middle of this fic. At best

“Sure it is! We'll just plan ahead! Like, we'll give out battle axes as party favors or something!”

And now all I can think of is Wreck It Ralph...

Applejack stomped on the floor. “Ain't nopony shippin' anypony anywhere!”

You really went there.

“Nopony's going to hurt anypony! The Rite of Wing-Siblinghood only requires they vanquish a dragon, not slay a dragon. It's an easily made mistake when you're translating from the Ancient Cloudsdalian script.”

Oh of course, how silly of us.

Pinkie Pie began to scribble circles and lines upon the chalkboard, drawing out the ensuing map of relations with all the diligence of a jungle explorer. “Which means I'm related to Applejack who'll be married to Rarity who's sisters with Sweetie Belle who's now a Sworn Battle-Sister to Scootaloo who once ran a relay race with Rainbow Dash which means we're two thirds done!” Pinkie Pie's cheeks turned a shade pinker as she took in another breath.

This is building up to an "I'm my own grandpa" joke isn't it...

“Of course it's a good idea!” Pinkie Pie said, “I told you, I've been doing my research in Ancient Cloudsdalian, and those pegaususes used to marry ponies off to each other all the time. It was like a big political thing, with clans and heirs and stuff. Of course, a lot of the time they were marrying ponies off for like two or three different times 'cause their spouses kept on getting eaten by monsters 'cause the Ancient Cloudsdalians liked to fight all the time. So if you lived in Ancient Cloudsdale you might wind up marrying your brother's wife or something, but that was just the marriage part for tradition's sake! And if you didn't like whoever you got married off to, ponies back then were usually pretty open minded about looking the other way whenever you needed a li'l somethin' somethin', y'know? Nothing wrong with a little somethin' somethin'!” Pinkie Pie made a vague yet obscene gesture. “They even wrote poems about it! Lots of poems.”

“I think I missed that part in school.” Fluttershy murmured.

“You should've been paying more attention, then!” said Pinkie Pie.

And scenes like this are why I love when Pinkie Pie is scholarly.

“Can you … tell me more about the concubine thing? You know, uh, for research.”

Dammit Fluttershy...
