Twilight just wanted to have a nice little Thanksgiving meal at her castle before the holiday crush, with some of her closest friends. It doesn't go quite as smoothly as she would have liked.

This isn't a sequel, but it does contain a reference to a crackfic I wrote a few weeks ago: Chrysalis Is My WHAT?!

Thanks for the fic and Happy Late Thanksgiving to as well.

7747465 Oh awesome, someone found it! Thanks for the link!

"Ahhh, Black Friday," Discord said with a pleased sigh. "One of my most satisfying legacies."

:rainbowlaugh:

Ah, this was a riot from beginning to end. Of course Starlight brainwashes Chrysalis, but then everyone doesn't have a problem with it...yep. Cute pastel colored ponies approve of brainwashing and painting smiley faces on the soul.

7748147 To be fair, she'll probably get a very stern talking-to later. But if she got off as easy as she did in the show for brainwashing her FRIENDS, probably people will be less peeved about it being done to a villain. XD; Ponies have oddly high thresholds for outrage, I've noticed. (To be fair, though, I DID have that whole bit about Twilight pointedly saying that she doesn't approve of brainwashing their enemies. But making her sit through a pleasant dinner on pain of ruining her Bad Guy reputation is hardly brainwashing. ;) )

Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed!

Eh, given that the first Thanksgiving was based on an isolated English colony prospering after changing its form of government to match Biblical scripture, I can enthusiastically agree with Thorax on the topic of starvation.

This whole story had me laughing my flank off and pounding the wall in laugher!!!:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:
I really loved that last part where Luna smashed yet another mug. :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

7860481 I'm glad you enjoyed this and my Chrysalis story! Tanks for the lovely comments! =D I probably won't do a full-length story, but I might muster up a sequel to the Chrysalis one at some point.

7860945 That's alright, but please do a sequel to the Chrysalis story, please??:scootangel::scootangel::scootangel:

Chrysalis, who had been caught in the upside-down turn of a spiral, groaned and whined, "I have no idea what is happening, or why my head feels as though my brains are being gnawed on by adolescent geese."

"I've never had that image in my head before, but it's probably going to stay there awhile now," Thorax sighed.

Thorax isn't the only one!

"Hear, hear!" SMASH!!!

And that is how you do a running gag.

(although some of them turned into entirely different dishes, and one became an anvil with a decorate hat, but it was Rarity's coleslaw, so nopony minded).

The sole edit being close to the end: decorative hat, perhaps?

I was quite impressed with this. Good humor with a number of twists that I didn't see coming, characters felt in character, the jokes landed well, and Twilight's enforced cheer at the end was appropriately adorable and terrifying. Celestia's need of a tamer hobby than chaos after a millennium on the throne is a lot of fun, and I enjoyed that Thorax's gratitude for not starving had the appropriate response. There are a lot of things to complement, but those stood out to me. Nicely done!
