Twilight Gets a Puppy

Part 4
“Some of the greatest pegasi in history came from Cloudsdale.” Rainbow Dash continued the tour of her home town with a few bits of added commentary by Fluttershy.
Rahs was missing most of it, as the number of mares they passed shouting at him or whistling only went up as they progressed. As dense as the Moon Dog/ Pony could be, he could easily tell what these mares wanted, even the ones that were not blatant with their innuendo.
Frankly he was ready to see if he could just fly back to Ponyville, or at least duck back into he balloon to get away from it. Still Rainbow Dash seemed excited to be showing them around, so for now he decided to simply ignore them and go along with the tour.
What Rahs didn't notice, was the near constant shimmering of his sister's horn as she added a few more spells here and there on top of the ones she was already maintaining.
A few mid air collisions with clouds, traffic light changes, sudden thunderbolts and down pours kept the more persistent mares away from her brother.
Spike was just amused by all of it and planned to tease them both mercilessly later.
“So then, don't suppose this tour includes tha weather factory. Rather curious about where somea my tax bits go.” Applejack stated.
“Great idea. “ Rainbow Dash smiled. “I bet I can get us in on a tour group. They tend to offer those to school foals every so often. Should be a cinch to get one for some ground bound ponies.”
“This is where they make the snowflakes.” Dash explained to the others. The group of them were all wearing hard hats and work coats and Dash's rank as head of Ponyville weather team allowed her to conduct the tour. Though the mare at the PPE supply had somehow managed to give Rahs a coat that was nearly as small as the one on Spike thus leaving him moderately uncovered as she drooled over his flank.
The group had then left before the sudden swarm of living coats got more of them than just the supply mare.
Of course the group of mares who had been following behind them to stare at Rahs caused more than enough issue. With their extra wings in the room the snow flake technicians were sent scrambling to catch their work as the breeze stirred up sent everything flying.
The tour group left quickly, leaving Rahs' last group of followers behind to help clean up after one of the snowflake management team caught them out of their assigned areas.
“And this is where they make the rainbow.” Rainbow Dash smirked.
Pinkie Pie looked around skeptically as if expecting rejected pegasi or something like that before shrugging and dipping her hoof into the main pool before giving the rainbow a taste.
“Hmm not soylent green, but GAHAHHH spicy!!” the mare shrieked turning a multitude of colors before running off towards the cafeteria to find milk.
“Yeah, rainbows are not known for their flavor.” Dash chuckled.
“There you are!!” shouted a voice.
The group looked over seeing a trio of familiar stallions stomping towards them.
“Ahh. I thought the stupidity quota in here had gotten low, seems somepony decided to balance it out.” Twilight dead paned.
“You got a lot of nerve with that stunt you pulled.” the tan one snapped.
“Is that a grammatically correct use of the word 'you'?” Spike asked.
“No.” Rarity chimed in.
“Youse gonna pay for that garbage you dumped on us flunkies.” the brown one growled.
Rahs' long ears twitched a bit at that before he fluttered over before the brown one.
“Excuse me. Not to interrupt your rampant idiocy, but did you just threaten my sister, my brother, and our friends?” Rahs asked far too calmly.
“What of it freak!? I'm taking you down a peg too!” the brown one snapped.
Rahs smiled at that.
Now up until this point every pony had thought the poison joke turned Rahs fully into a earth pony stallion. However the brown pegasus discovered that Rahs' teeth were still very much those of a Moon Dog.
Very pointy, and very sharp.
Poison Joke was not often subtle with it's humor.
“Oh buck....” was all the tan one managed before the transformed Moon Dog reacted to their threat.
“Well so much for the weather factory tour.” Applejack sighed as the group walked along the cloud made streets of the city.
“Ehh it's fine. That was nearly the whole thing any way. All you missed out on was the rain room and they haven’t pulled the water up just yet anyway, so nothings going on there.” Dash shrugged. “We still have time to catch a bite to eat before the competition.”
“Perhaps that will calm Fluttershy down?” Rarity asked as she glanced back at the yellow mare sitting on Pinkie Pie's back hiding completely in her mane.
“It wasn't even that bad.” Spike rolled his eyes. “Nothings broken and they weren't even bleeding. Granted they are rainbow colored now....”
“Fluttershy's very sensitive.” Pinkie Pie explained. “Plus, even I want to forget that fight. I mean he was hitting that one guy... with the OTHER guy!”
“Rahs had leverage.” Twilight shrugged.”Plus you were the one who was yelling at him to stop hitting himself when Rahs got a hold of his tail.”
Rahs flitted along behind them simply grinning wider, he was feeling a great deal better about this trip after the second encounter with the bullies allowed him to work off some built up aggression.
Behind the group however the size of Rahs followers had spread to nearly every single mare who was nearby and the numbers were growing as the group walked along.
Being a former warrior race and watching one pony trounce three others, two of them larger than he was, jump started quite a number of pegasi mares new obsessions in the odd Pegasus.
Spike narrowed his eyes looking across the counter.
The cream colored pony pegasus stallion with brown hair, green eyes, and a pink frosted doughnut cutie mark looked back a bit nervously under the dragon's scrutiny. The massive horde of mares outside didn't help either.
The others had gotten their food and moved to the table they picked out, though Spike was staring at the shopkeeper, who was doing his best to try not to look worried about holding the purple drake's attention.
“A pegasus.... huh? Joe.. huh?” Spike stated.
“Errr yeah … all my life.” Pony Joe muttered starting to feel a little ill.
“Never been to Canterlot huh?” Spike frowned.
“Can't say I have.......” Joe offered glancing at all the ponies plastered to the windows, taking note of a few stallions who were staring in now too.
“Yet you knew I wanted extra sprinkles.......” Spike growled.
“You don't?” Joe chuckled.
Spike took his doughnut looking up at the stallion.
“I'm onto you Joe.......” Spike accused, pointing to his eyes then at the pony before backing away to the table.
“Who'd have thought there was a Pony Joe's in Cloudsdale too.” Twilight offered trying to ignore the fact that Rahs had discovered the true taste of doughnuts nearby and had promptly started to try and clean out Joe's inventory.
SPOILER ALERT! MAKE ROOM! MAKE ROOM! SPOILER ALERT!
9010807
no no the one about useless Pegasi being made into rainbows. the movie was fine.
What? Did Joe forgot Spike's orders some times before? I don't get why Spike angry about Joe being a pegasus here.
9010831
Because Pony Joe is a Unicorn in Canterlot, and there was the whole rumor of him being a super spy.
9010843
So Spike felt intimidate because he aim to become a spy too?
9010831
It's a bit of a gag about there being a doughnut Joe who's a unicorn in Canterlot. Same looks and mark.
While there is a pegasus who just so happens to be a doppleganger pegasus in Cloudsdale, running the see shop.......
I bet!, the next one will be ....... redundant.
9010851
Either that or Pony Joe is a changeling who is more than likely kicking himself for trying to expand his donut business outside of Canterlot.
9010860
To quote an old arse owl in a tree: "the world may never Know!!!"
pony rah has a huge mare following but dont worry rah once grandma luna see this she help you out with the royal voice, afterward only the very stupid or brave will keep going after you
9010892
You seem to have forgotten that Luna wants great-grand foals.
Intimidate his following? Oh no, she will encourage them.
9010913
i think she want him to find good peremnt mate not just few brood mares
9010913
9010918 This really depends on if Luna or Cadence finds him first.
Spike has a interesting letter or two to write later.
9010918
With what Jynx stated as her intent for Rahs, Luna may accept brood mares she approves of. Other than that you may have a point.
9010892
Or she joins the herd.
9010923
oh I wonder how cadence will react to find about twilight crush on Big Mac, I also wonder how shiny armor reaction going to be.
9010923
Dear Doctor Nod Along,
I’d like to set up a weekly group counseling session for my sister, my brother, and myself.
Cost is no object.
—Spike
Hope pony rahs comes back more after this particular episode is over. Very entertaining.
lol pegasus Donut Joe.
just need a earth pony Donut Joe somewhere for Spike to meet.
maybe a Crystal Pony Donut Joe as well when they get to the Crystal Empire sometime in the future.
would have been fun too if the Donut Joes where like Nurse Joy where the whole family is Donut Joes in various types and locations (maybe a mare or two too)
A pegasus Joe...
...
Convergent evolution - whenever nature has two identical (or very similar) niches available to be filled that are far enough apart that something can't migrate - things will evolve to fill that niche and often appear remarkably (even deceptively) similar, up to and including the point where experts become confused over their actual genealogy. Clearly two specimens of pony were required to fulfill the same niche and are therefor eerily similar....
"THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS!"
"Well what would you say happened instead Twilight?! A conspiracy? DONUT ZOMBIES!?"
"I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explaination."
"THIS IS EQUESTRIA TWILIGHT! There are no coincidences!"
"That's preposterous."
"Pinkie Pie."
"... That's not fair."
I LOVE THESE GUYS
9011060
that how I thought 99% of the background pony are like, all part of one large family who everyone look same has same cuitemark just different types of ponys
The root word here is pegasus. The 'proper' pluralization would be Pegasi.
9010819
Damn, I had forgotten about that story until I was reminded of it by this comment.
To be fair though, they weren't "useless", they just weren't the best at flying, had an off day, or choked during the test.
That story is just one of the many things I wish I could erase from my memory.
9011218
What's it called I must know!
I would love a fic about ALL the Donut Joes.
9011200
Yeah that one's a spell check error i didn't fix.
9011248
.........
Rainbow Factory......

https://www.fimfiction.net/story/5381/rainbow-factory
Be warned, it earned its tags.
9011266
WHY HAVE YOU DONE THAT! also great chapter
9011412
Read worse. Hell, I've DREAMED worse, and those are the "good" ones.
... I should probably see a shrink...
9011266
Given that reference, I have a bit of a request...
Please, never, ever, reference A Puppet to her Fame
All Donut Joes are actually changelings that feed on appreciation.
9011255
There is already a fic about another donut chef - Twilight Sprinkle!
9012268
THat was a fun fic.
Taste the rainbow wooo
9012064
Hey! No giving away the secrets!
9012436
At least you guys are making an honest living and getting fed doing so. A win-win I say.
9016522
I'm not sure if he plays or "plays" it. (I hope for the latter. Actor and all that). I trust you can keep it interesting over the usual "I have a billion girls going for me, but I remain stupidly oblivious" as seen many times.
9016605
Oh yes. Keep in mind he did express interest in Gilda. So he's not oblivious and he knows what the mares following him are after , he just doesn't care as he's not interested.
He really doesn't know how Trixie feels, Thinks Dash is just annoying, that Rarity was screwing with him and doesn't know Jynx nor Saturnia exist. I didn't intend to make a haram..... it just got more and more amusing to me as it progressed. And well.... here we are
9011266
Without even seeing the reference, I guessed that.
Rahs is going to have nearly every female in Equestria an beyond after him at this rate. And it will be hilarious.
I'm starting to think that in this continuity, Donut Joe's is a changeling operation. It'd be a good face for them, too.
9011266
Yeah, I remember when I somehow came across that story.. Still have no frakking idea how I came across it. Never read a single word of it aside from the synopsis, but the person that cooked it up can take a long walk off a short bridge. It brings me displeasure to be reminded of that abomination of a story.
Loving the altered interactions of the characters here!
I know OF it, but I've never actually discovered the source.

NO! YOUR INNOCENCE MUST BE PRESERVED!!!!!!

Where do rainbows come from? Soylent Green, featuring Scootaloo, RD, and some OC.
One of the old gorefics alongside Cupcakes and Smile HD.
9502868
... In the rainbow factory, where fears and horrors come true ...
... In the rainbow factory, where not a single soul gets through ...
It is best not to know.
9170837
This reminds me of a time when a group was playing single-player Slaughter Horse, and in the town roster there was a pony named Pony Horse. They hanged her the next morning and she turned out to be the Changling Drone. It was hilarious!
The word "you" is used perfectly. The only error is the missing "have." "You have got..." or "You've got."
I envy them too.
I think I’ll leave this here:
