Thorax is keeping residence at Twilight's castle, and Spike has the brilliant idea of using his powers for some "pranks", but things don't quite go exactly as planned...


So Thorax is really fun to write. He's basically Fluttershy in a changeling's body, super awkward, unaware of things to a comedic fault, and just wants to please everybody. At least that's how I like to portray him. Hope you enjoy!

Enjoying so far? Let me know your thoughts! I appreciate them a lot! :twilightsheepish:

Yes I'm enjoying this story it is getting very interesting to read keep up a good work update more :twilightsmile:

7519230 Thanks! And for once, I've actually written ahead in one of my stories so expect the chapters to roll out fairly regularly. I'm aiming for 4 or 5.

i feel like spike is the one who shall learn the friendship lesson when this is all over...

7519261 Probably...

Just wait until he gets to Rarity...

The story is good.

I'm just a little worried of how this story is going to turn out. I also think doing this prank might not be the best idea, in Spike and Thorax standards.

7518800 I'm definitely enjoying this story so far :twilightsmile:

Thorax is such a fun character, and I've enjoyed reading stories that've involved him. It'll be fun to see the shenanigans he can get into in this story :derpytongue2:

I can't wait to see more, PonyThunder! :pinkiehappy:

7519288 Yeah, I'm trying my darnedest to make it work with their character. Mostly Spike. Treating Thorax as the "just wants to please" type of character works, I think though.

7519291 Thanks. There are definitely more shenanigans...definitely more...

7519298 You're welcome.

And trust me, I can't wait to see what'll happen to Thorax, or is it Applejack? :raritywink:

I kinda like it that Spike is trying to do pranks.:twilightsmile: But at the same time not considering what might happen If later Rainbow Dash talks to the real Twilight about how she helped which of course she didn't.:applejackunsure:

Liking this story so far.

Spike so gonna be in trouble at the end for sure.

Next chapter will contain countryisms.

...Thorax, you silly changeling. :facehoof: Keep going. :rainbowkiss:

7519426 Now it will! :twilightblush:

7519408 Poor guy. He's just such a useful plot device. :moustache:

This story is getting pretty good so far, can't wait till the next chapter.

where did the cover art come from anyways?

7520134 For all of my cover art, I search for vectors on Deviantart and make my own cover image. Sometimes I add a gradient background, sometimes I add a background from the show. I modified Twilight's one for this for the visual gag. I like making them look nice. And on most of my stories, I link to the pages that I grabbed the vectors from, although some of them I forgot to.

I thought changlings did have wings

7520360 "He had never actually flown as a pegasus before, and pegasus wings operated quite differently than changelings"

I almost forgot that when I was writing this :twilightsmile:, but added in that line before publishing. I fixed some other parts now though.

"Like I said, just don't get caught alright? Twilight is out with Starlight, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about."

Twilight = outside
False Twilight = outside
=> What could possibly go wrong?

7519270 The rating will stay "E", right?

Nice story!
I'm curious what Not-Applejack will do.

7521824 The rating will stay E.

I'll fix that mistake you pointed out later today, thank you.

Chapter three pushes the envelope a bit for comedy's sake, but compared to things other people write under the E rating, it's nothing. Still reviewing the next chapters and releasing one per day, so that one should be tomorrow and the next will be later today.

Spiiike, beware where you're going with this. Cause Rarity will make you pay dearly if she... Oh who am I kidding, she will found out.

Keep in mind, Spike DOES NOT swing that way.

Bahahahaha :rainbowkiss::rainbowlaugh: That's good. The prank is perfect.:pinkiehappy:

Yep Spike's definitively screwed on this one. Especially being caught by Starlight who still commits terrible blunders in Friendship.

He already got some back with the all I never wanted to know about Changelings love life. :rainbowlaugh:

Nice comeuppance to Spike. :rainbowlaugh: Though it seems it didn't quite ingrain in his head since he still try to pull one last one at the end. Then again he mostly has blown all his chance with his lady.

Also we need a changeling burrito picture.

7525353 Trust me, I looked.

If somebody sends me a good one, I'd make that the cover image :P

That was so funny! :rainbowlaugh:

Spike sure is going to be in a lot of trouble :rainbowlaugh:

Oh do a sequel about Discord asking him to prank ponies from Canterlot Castle. Like prank Celestia, Luna, BlueBlood a few nobles, maids and the guards!

That would be so awesome

(laughing) Oh my God!!!!!!!

Seriously Spike MOVE ON ALREADY!!!!!!

Poor, poor Starlight Glimmer.

Oh those meadowlarks...

Lol. Okay. Yeah it was a little harsh, but Spike was also abusing his friend for personal enjoyment. Chapter 3 was the breaking point.

Believe it or not, I originally had "capital punishment" be his sentence, but lowered it to banishment because that seemed much too harsh. Funny, but wayyyy too harsh. Also, you might notice the part about "wait, can she even do that?" in his thoughts before he passed out. She can't.

Also, not sure if it was clear, but he "looked" like Throrax when it was happening, as part of their plan.

Okay, have a good day. Don't get too worked up about it, now.

EDIT: I blocked you because they way in which you chose to voice your opinion was more harsh than just providing critique. I agree that the ending was a little harsh, but it was what I came up with at the time and it sounded like a decent way to provide an interesting twist to the story to end it. I'm sorry that you feel so strongly about it, but I don't need your kind of aggressiveness on my comments.

Spike smiled excitedly. "Perfect..."

Is he drooling?

I hope the bees forgot who destroyed their hive till Applejack returns home. Otherways...

You added in a bit of Zootopia in there!

"It's called a hustle, sweetheart" said Starlight.

...and also a completely different species..." Starlight gagged ever so slightly.

Starlight, that is racist.

And damn this annoying meadowlarks.


Nice chapter!

Spike, no more Rarity for you!
:moustache:: "NOOOOOO!"

Nice story!

I always hate these punishment parts and wish there was a slight twist to them. Seems a little much but makes more sense for Thorax sake. That said I wish there were more fics like this where Thorax and Spike just hangout. :moustache:

7551722

I'm wishing I found a better way to end it as well, but that's just what came out I guess. Not one of my better endings.

"I thought you left to go meet with that Drainbow Rash or somethin'? The blue one. Or is it the yell'er one. Ah, I don't know it's not important."

Oh Granny! :applejackunsure: :fluttershysad: :rainbowderp:

7525315 I imagine a scene going like...

Rarity: Why hello Starlight! Twilight will be coming shortly so we wouldn't have to wait much longer. :raritywink:
Starlight: Oh ok. :ajbemused:

*pause*

Starlight: Soooo...how long have you and Spike...you know? :twilightblush:
Rarity: Whatever do you mean? :duck:
Starlight: The um...you know... :twilightblush:
Rarity: I am not sure what you are talking about darling. :unsuresweetie:

*Starlight whispers into Rarity's ear*

Rarity: :applejackunsure:
Rarity: :rainbowhuh:
Rarity: :pinkiegasp:

Rarity: WHAAAAAATTTTTTT?!?!!!!!! :flutterrage:
