Truffles


Avid MLP fan, part-time artist and writer, full time software engineer. I've usurped this cute, underappreciated, background pony for myself! =D

All of the Wonderbolts are back in Ponyville for the first time in several years, and they have just finished putting on an airshow with Rainbow Dash premiering as an official member. Unbeknownst to three of them, an old nemesis is there as a spectator...

This story takes during the aftermath of Rainbow Dash's epic failure to impress her teammates in the episode "Newbie Dash."

This was good...Real good!:moustache:

7421195 Thank you! It was refreshing to get a break from writing drama and do something silly and lighthearted for a change..

that sex tag...

7421330 Do you think it's even needed? I originally submitted this story as an "E", but changed it to teen and added the tag because of Spike's assumptions about... things, even though nothing is stated.

Don't worry Spike, the map'll never send you to Cloudsdale. Because you aren't important enough for it to bother. Plus, you know, no Cutie Mark...

7421351 IMO its not needed at all.

I liked this... I liked this a lot.:ajsmug:

7421380 Yeah, I'd say the cutie mark is definitely an issue. Ah well, desperate dragons asking desperate questions! :trollestia:

7421471 The feedback is appreciated!

7421571 Thanks!

Spike should've told Blaze to go fuck herself. She approaches a possibly injured fan, and the first thing she and High Winds do is start chastising him for something he already feels guilty about. Then she threatens him with prison rape! Bitch.

After that, both of Blaze's teammates should've also told her to go fuck herself.

Pretty good. I was pretty entertained.

One question though: Am I missing something about the "Twilight, the Princess of Friendship and his sole charge"? Because I'm pretty sure Spike is her charge. The charge is, as far as I know, the one being taken care of.

7423553 You're right. :facehoof: I'll fix that.

Pretty humorous story, and one that I'm going to pretend actually happened. :twilightsmile:

Though I don't think the sex tag is needed. I've seen teen rated stories where there's sex jokes but not the tag, and I didn't see any innuendo in this story at all. In fact, why is it rated Teen?

7423663 It was rated teen because the tagging system won't let an author add the "sex" tag to an "E" rated fic. I'm still hemming and hawing on changing it due to what the FAQ here says about tagging, but with two readers saying it doesn't need it and since I've seen a couple E fics that are a lot more ribald than anything in this fic, you both are probably right, lol!

I nice little piece; enjoyed the interaction with Surprise.

One thing that bothered me was the threat to lock Spike away. Understandable reaction but how do they think they would've manage it with the princesses of Canterlot, the Crystal Empire; and Ponyvile all on Spike's side. And it's a bit late after all this time and with the knowledge of Spike being a hero in the Crystal Games. I lol'd at their reaction to Spike's singing there though.

7435470 At one point I considered having Twilight appear and tell Blaze in no uncertain terms to lay off and drove home the point by giving Spike a royal pardon on a spot. But I felt like I was abusing Blaze enough in this story by having her fill the role of the heavy. So you're right - from a practical standpoint threatening Spike with time in a dungeon for something that happened years ago isn't very prudent, but I left it in just so Spike could do the bit with his tail

Yeah, I think Spike felt worse about his bad singing than he did about trapping them in the water tower. :rainbowlaugh:

Thank you for the thoughtful comments!

I understand about not wanting abusing Blaze. Lol, totally see Spike being more guilty about the singing.:rainbowlaugh:

“You’re saying dragons can grow to any size at will?” Blaze responded with some disbelief, slightly annoyed that this dragon wasn’t as contrite as she felt he should be. “If you weren’t standing before us – the size you are now – I’d say that was crazy.”

Evidence that science has no place in Equestria: Spike totally stomping all over the law of conservation of mass/energy.

7797489 Unless they reveal dragons contain pocket universes or some kind of conduit where they can store/retrieve all that energy for their mass they gain and lose...

7799474 Which still kinda violates physics considering the calculated energy requirements to enter ANY other universe would exceed the energy content of out universe itself.

The laws of physics pretty much forbid everything cool... even the stuff that's 'possible' is often impossible anyway in practical terms.

A nice slice-of-life fic based on past events with a few often ignored members of the Wonderbolts. I really don’t have much more to say about it, apart from… Nice. 👍🏻

I don't like the Wonderbolts threatening Spike with being thrown in the dungeon. Can't Princess Twilight, Celestia, Cadence, and Luna vouch for him?
