Perhaps life is stranger than fiction, as Sunset will learn one day. Recently told to go and make some friends by her teacher, she finds a small filly who is playing with a box and a doll. Weird right? Sunset's not much of a babysitter, but she will soon find out that the world has a curious way of catching up to her.

Okay, you definitely got points for the Calvin and Hobbes reference. :rainbowlaugh: Even the childhood innocence was spot on. (spoilers for readers) Gotta say, though, the random SunLight shipping just kinda doesn't do it for me. I get that you needed an ending, but you probably could have just done it with some kind of sweet epiphany scene at the end instead of a marriage proposal. I don't think the romance was necessary. Especially if C&H was the main inspiration, it kind of takes away from the utter goofiness of it all. Just my opinion, though. Upvote regardless. :twilightsmile:

1, thanks for blacking out spoilers, much appreciated.

2. I'm glad you appreciated the fic, and yes I had trouble with the ending just a little. Still satisfied with it, and it was made for a friend who really was having a rough day so I'm glad I at least made a few people's day with it too. if I revisit this universe, I'll probably have something just as fun planned.

:rainbowwild: SO AWESOME

:pinkiehappy: It was Super Duper FUN!

:yay: Yay!

:raritystarry: Fabulous Darling

:ajsmug: Boy Howdy that is sure fun!

I have to say that this is a GREAT fanfic, I never thought that anyone could ever make a Calvin and Hobbes/MLP-FIM fanfic like this, and with Twilight and Smartypants as Calvin and Hobbes was so PERFECT.

I'm very glad you enjoyed it! It was my first official foray into this kind of story and I'm hoping to produce a lot more later.

I'm glad I at least made a few people's day with it

Thank you both for the praise, it's much appreciated. I'm glad I can just make people smile with this fic.

Okay, I didn't expect that. Cute, though. Have an upvote.

8191044

Help I'm drowning in upvotes!

Thanks for the upvote and I hope I can entertain later down the road!

"Oh, no downvotes?":applejackconfused: "How could that be..."

"Hmm... I wonder what would happen if I downvoted this?"

*Click*

A human size Cthulhu head comes straight out of the computer.

"Hello Cthulhu! Howya doing---"

"REAHHH!"

It sucks out Zesty's soul, then goes back into computer. Zesty is left staring at the computer

"Must watch Nostagia critic, must watch Nostagia critiiicc!"

8191187

I think at this point if I got a single downvote like I usually get dangling off the fic like an errant bogey, it'd crush my soul.

That being said Noooo Zesty! Come baaaack!

8191213 The drone kept on writing things that just happened.

"Must watch Disneycember."

A mouth out of the computer .

"You must like the fanfic you just disliked."

"You must like the fanfic you just disliked."

"I am you."

"I am you."

"...Good enouuuugh. The mouth resubmerges.

The drone came back to the website and likes the fics.

"REAH! HERE'S YOUR SOUL BACK!!!" Gets back into the computer.

"..."

She wakes up.

"What the fudge just happened?!"

The narrator booms out of nowhere

Don't worry, folks, she'll come back in a movie which is just a pilot to a TV ser---

"No! None of that! NOOONE OF THAT!!"

In general, I enjoyed it. This story is basically the antithesis of Sandbox in terms of concept. It's interesting to see Sunset softened by a young filly and to see their dynamic build over multiple interactions. But the ending was far too abrupt for my taste. I don't really see how the story lead to that; it feels like I'm missing something. It's not that this type of ending can't work, but as presented it just doesn't.

8191450

That's fine. To be honest, I kind of rushed it out the door. It was a gift for a friend and I wanted to help ease their day, so it's basically short enough for them to read without slogging through pages of interaction. There's an implied "Weeks of interaction happened" but yeah. Thanks for the thoughts on it though.

God that brings back memories of reading those comic strips when I was a kid. I have all of the book collects and I still read them sometimes.

8191795

Thanks, that's high praise!

Okay, this was absolutely adorable.

And apparently unlike most of those in the comments, I have absolutely no problems with the ending...

Though personally, I think it would have worked better if Twilight had revealed it before Sunset realized Twilight was asking her to marry her. Just my opinion.

Thanks Midnight, and yeah while this has barely any Movie Magic spoilers, it is set after it.

And thanks Tatsurou, I really enjoyed writing it. And yeah, it ain't perfect, but it's making a lot of people happy. And that's what counts.

Haven't read it yet, but I KNOW it's a reference to "Calvin and Hobbes Scientific process goes 'Boink!'"

That was super duper cute. Like many said, a bit abrupt, but adorable. Thanks!

This was absolutely adorable. Loved it! :twilightsmile:

Thanks, I'm glad you all enjoyed the fic and yes, it's a reference to the Calvin and Hobbes story. I grew up with it as a kid so it's nice to write something fun once in a while.

Im sad that I never had the chance to read those comics until recently....where the hell have I been? I read one of the books at my dentist's ffice of all places and instanrly fell in love with them, got the box set and read them all...and man was I amazed...

So when I saw the title in the popular stories box I knew something good was bound to be here...and I was not dissapointed.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and yes, Calvin and Hobbes is a classic. It's basically timeless at this point, and holds a special place in people's hearts. I grew up with it, reading it every day in my local newspaper until that sad day when it ended syndication. It's really too bad that Watterson will never emerge from the hole he's hidden from the world in but we can always dream of a new Calvin and Hobbes storyline that's inspired so many.

8193614 Good ol' Calvin and Hobbes. I miss them.

8193614 So did I, grow up with it I mean.

Daw, how cute :twilightsmile:

awwwwwwwwwww so cute!

Twilight nodded, a big grin on her face. “I’ll do it! I’ll become pbbffffffft! And then I’ll marry you!”

Woah there, Miss Booksmarts, getting ahead of yourself there, don't you think?
