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!
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!!!
I really loved that last part where Luna smashed yet another mug.
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??
Thorax isn't the only one!
And that is how you do a running gag.
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!
