Not exactly the same feel as the original.

Hilarious nonetheless. It's simply a different flavor of hilarious.

Have an upvote. You deserve it.

I believe this is what you are referring to:

Not too bad. Kind of an amusing attempt.

7061030 You're right, but I can't change it till after the contest, if I read the rules right.

Surprize was her greatest weapon. Fear and surprize. Yes, those were her two greatest weapons - fear, surprize, and an exceptional flying talent! ERM, amongst her *many* weapons were - ohmygosh, there's the shiny!

Nobody nopony expects the spanish royal inquisition!

Yup! Although I couldn't have Batsy leave the scene and come back in again. Had this been a Pinkie Pie fiction, I might have. :pinkiehappy:

Now, who should be Biggles and Fang? :trixieshiftright:

You realize you called her "Betsy" at one point?

7155427 It's not my fault....
It's a typo. I blame Trixie. :trixieshiftright:
Will fix it.
Thanks! :twilightsheepish:

Batsy is pretty hard to get just right... and I think this one falls short a little. Just something about the 'ooh shiny!' strikes me as a bit too scatterbrained. Something's also odd about the occasional present tense. And then there's the narrative, which skips back and forth as much as Screwball does. That said, this is a pretty fun idea to work with, and I'm tempted to steal the idea of her leaving a bowl on top of a roof for somepony else to clean up. Oh, and the cabbages, of course. That made me snort.

Indeed! You win an internet, and a moustache. :moustache:
There's another famous Number Seven no one has mentioned though.

Honestly I didn't really enjoy this one. I like random as much as the next schuck, hence why Pinkie Pie is my favorite pony, still, that was almost too much to keep up with.

My favorite part was the cabbages. That man cannot catch a break in any universe.
Definitely worth the read. Thanks!
