Dog Eat Dog, Part 1
Twilight Gets a Puppy
By TDR
Dog Eat Dog
Part 1
[Sparkle residence. 2 years remaining until the thousandth year. ]
“How did this happen? Where did I go wrong?” a fit, white furred, and blue maned unicorn in a Guard Sergeants Armor bemoaned.
“Woof?” A navy blue canine creature with long pointed ears and feline features responded. The creature was sitting on his rump, light brown pants with numerous pockets covered his legs with a slit cut in the back of the waist band for a feline like tail to poke out. A dim orb of light floated at each long ear tip and the end of the creatures tail barely visible in the rooms light. The creature looked much like a Diamond Dog though it's limbs were more evenly matched with the rest of it's body and it didn't seem top heavy like a normal Diamond dog, despite being fairly well muscled. It's finger like paws also displayed no visible claws as it thumbed through a book, barely paying attention to the pacing stallion aside from a glance to two at him with his amber colored eyes.
“What?” The Stallion asked.
“He asked how were you blaming yourself for this, you've been in training for the last couple of years.” Another smaller creature asked from his place leaning against the side of the canine. The pudgy young Dragon was covered in purple scales with bright green rounded spines. One of his claws was plucking a gem from a small bowl of them next to him, while the other held a comic book that he stared at with fascination as some fight or another was breaking out in the pages.
“I could have stopped this. If I never joined the Guard I could have been here to stop this from happening.” Shining snorted.
“Seriously bro you're acting like Twilight died. She's sixteen, ponies do this sort of thing all the time. Heck, mom thinks she's started too late.” Spike explained. “ Celestia was delighted too.”
“Gruff.” Rahs nodded in agreement.
The trio were currently in Shining Armors old room, the place had barely been touched since he left for Guard training. While their brother usually stayed in the Guard house when in Canterlot their parents didn't want to change how the room looked. Luckily the Sparkle homestead already had a few extra rooms unused so when Rahs and Spike got older they moved into their own room and out of Twilight's. Granted the space their things had been in the shared room immediately became more bookshelves, but no one expected anything else.
Shining dragged the pair into his room when he came home for a weekend and found out what was going on.
“ He's my age!” Shining growled.
“He's only two years older than Twilight, You're ten years older than Twilight.” Spike pointed out.
“Wuff” Rahs corrected.
“Okay, you're nine years and six months older than Twilight.” Spike rolled his eyes. "He's not your age."
“That's still too much of an age gap!” Shining protested.
Spike and Rahs lowered their comic and book respectively, looked at each other, then to the pacing stallion, and then over to his dresser where a picture of Princess Cadence sat, then back at Shining who at least had the decency to look a bit ashamed for his hypocrisy.
“Okay bad example....”Shining quickly corrected.
“You ever find out how much older she is than you?” Spike taunted going back to his comic.
“Growf” Rahs smirked.
“He says his bits are on five to six hundred years.” Spike smirked. “ I'd bet closer to two to three myself.”
“I said bad example.” Shining grumbled. ”But still It's Blueblood who asked her! Blueblood, the guys first name is Prince for crying out loud, how pompous is that?”
“Wuff.”
“We've met him. He's not bad. And it's not like he chose his name himself.” Spike rolled his eyes. He and Rahs were used to Twilight having melt downs about being tardy, tests, or anything else that came up that wasn't on one of her lists, to see Shining do it made them both wonder if it was genetic. The pair were actually glad for once that they were adopted so they wouldn't ever have to find out for sure.
“He's up to something I know it. Why did he even come after Twilight, what's the edge he's after?” Shining growled. “ He must be trying to get close to Princess Celestia through her student.”
“Ruff.”
“Rahs says he's Celestia's nephew, he doesn't need to use Twilight to get close to the Princess.” Spike pointed out.
“It must be the families money then!”
“Growf?”
“Yeah seriously. Dude's family has bought an entire town before, just to move the entire thing thirty miles to the west because the road to it ran across the view from their third summer home. “ Spike snarked.” Bit's ain't it. Particularly when mom counts our allowance out in quarter bits sometimes.”
“ Well what other reason could it be?!” Shining snapped.
“I dunno, maybe he thought she's cute?” Spike asked as Rahs shrugged.
“What?!” Shining shouted.
“Yeah when he asked her on a date Prince was super nervous, not as bad as Twilight got, I mean I doubt he checked out the entire section on dating at the library like Twilight did.” Spike considered.” Because she checked out the ENTIRE section on dating to study up for it.”
“Woof!” Rahs pointed out.
“Oh yeah, he did mention that he had help mustering up the courage to ask, so he's probably as clueless as Twilight is.” Spike agreed with Rahs. “ Well maybe not now after she's read all those books.”
“What help? Who helped him set this up with Twiliy?!” Shining demanded.
Spike and Rahs lowered their comic and book respectively, looked at each other, then to the pacing stallion, and then over to his dresser where a picture of Princess Cadence sat, then back at Shining who had buried his face into both hooves.
“Buck my life......” Shining groaned.
“Ehh what can you do. Your mare friend set up the date with your little sister, Twilight won't answer the door as she's too panicked about studying for the date, and Mom's all for it to the point she's keeping Dad occupied so he can't intervene.”
“Bark!”
“Yeah, he won't let me play with that Griffonese crossbow he got either.” Spike pouted.
“Alright.” Shining said suddenly. “ I have a plan.”
“The scariest four words in the Equss language right there.” Spike stated as Rahs shuddered.
“No it's brilliant.” Shining stated, a manic grin crossing his features. His brothers glanced to each other, then to the door pondering if they could make it in time. “ We'll follow them tonight and make sure he doesn't try anything. It'll be perfect.”
“Unless... yah know, she sees us. A Moon Dog, a Royal Guard, and a little Dragon are not exactly stealthy.” Spike complained.
“Woof.”
“You're about as stealthy as a herd of Buffalo, I thought you were supposed to be part cat?” Spike snapped.
“Bork.”
“You did no such thing, that was your Oubliettes and ogres character, and he was more of a shaman any way, you just lucked out with a Nat 20.” Spike pointed out.
“Woof!” Rahs counted.
“Gah alright you got me there. Twilight's in test mode, she wouldn't notice a herd of Buffalo. But Prince might.” Spike grumbled.
“Grrr...”
“Lost in her eyes?” Spike blinked before narrowing his eyes at the canine. “Have you been reading Mom's books again?”
Rahs didn't say anything but he didn't meet Spike's glare either.
Shining on the other hoof was still rambling, ignoring the conversation.
“........I bet he's even got photographers around ready to snap a shot of blackmail to force her to marry him......”
Rahs's ears perked up at that, though Spike was less than amused.
“Blackmail? It's a date, ponies have them all the time!” the little drake groaned.
“Bork!”
“You're in? What do you mean you're in? This is crazy!” Spike growled.” I'm the youngest one here and I’ve got the most sense!”
“Bark, Bark, BARK.” Rahs countered closing his book fully as Spike calmed down and pondered looking at the frazzled Shining.
“Yeah he'd go any way. Alright, alright, I'm in. Now let's get him calmed down. Prince is supposed to be here in two hours and we need at least one of those hours to calm Twilight down too.” Spike sighed steeling himself for what he was sure was going to be a long night.

This can only end in hilarity.
((16 + 9) / 2) + 7 = 25 / 2 + 7 = 13 + 7 = 20
Yeah, sorry Bluey, officially in the creeper zone by four whole years. Can't argue with the numbers, The Rule has spoken.
You sad, sad child molester. Shame on you.

Err no Shining is 9 years older than Twilight, I suppose i need to clarify that . BB is only 2 years older.
Okay fixed it.
I'll remember you said this when you meet a certain white unicorn mare, Spike.
I just realize this. I thought Spike read comic book and Rahs read book. Probably a typo?
I did the exact same thing with my cousin. I don't think he noticed me until scared him and his date with an air horn...heheheh, good times.

Blueblood's a creeper and Shining's borderline-incestuous devotion to Twilight unnerves me.
Oh this is bad, I can’t wait for the fan to be obliterated!
8455914
What should unnerve you is that the same could be said for Twilight in the show's cannon
8455955 Either way, Twilight and Shining's borderline-incestuous devotion to each other reminds me of all THOSE Sparkle incest clopfics I've encountered at some point here in the site. Also, I blame Friendship is Witchcraft.

Woe for blueblood if he try's anything and that's after twily beats him up
8455751
Nope, still rude...and even funnier
I am 18 and still have not dated befor
NEED MORE FASTER ITSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
What did Rahs character do?
8456282
Where at when talking to Spike at the end? He explained that Shining would go on his own even if they didn't 'help ' him. Rahs and Spike are running damage control
8456468
Yes when Rahs O&O character did something with stealth I really want to know
In which Rah's eats a dog- and Twilight gets a date.
I know Rah's is supposed to look like a diamond dog, still for some reason he gets this image for me these days:

Im 20 and I havent dated yet.
8799527
Sad as it is, I'm 28 and haven't been on a date myself.
Not really, Cadance is immortal and there is no real reason to use age as a factor in her realtionships
The fact that this is almost a complete copy and past line makes it all the better
Here's a good rule of thumb: divide your age by 2 and add 7. If the person is younger than that number, you are too old for that person.
Shining Armor had a wonderful, awful idea!!
Ah, the classic 'snark chorus'.
Bork! Bork bork!!
9057903
Poor Celestia
9378121
Yeah she doesn't have thumbs.
This sounds like the beginnings to a bad joke.
9486140
Lololol0lolololol.
Oh...
9057903
Okay so...
14 divided by 2 is 7
Add 7...
Whaddya know? I'm back at 14
I always kinda like 'Blueblood has/had a thing for Twilight' when it turns up in fics. Something different than him just being the fandom punching bag.
I don't know if you're going to address this in the future, but this is something that irks me a bit. I'm not chiding you, as a lot of civilians don't know, but a Sergeant is an NCO, Non-Commissioned Officer, an enlisted soldier. A Captain is a Commissioned Officer, who is just that, commissioned to be an officer. This leads people to think that it's a natural progression from Sergeant to Lieutenant or Captain, Non-Commissioned to Commissioned, but that's not the case. Enlisted and Commissioned are two completely separate jobs and carer tracks. The highest rank an enlisted soldier could achieve is Command Sergeant Major. He will never become an Officer normally.
Now, an enlisted soldier can apply for a commission if they meet the requirements, but it's not a normal path. And then in the past there have been "battlefield promotions" where a Sergeant will show such abilities that they get launched into an officer, but even then it was more due to lack of personnel.
Again, not really a knock on you, author, and like I said, you may address this later on. I just needed to vent my spleen for a bit.

Yeah, sorry. I was in the army for a bit myself And i know the ranks progressions. Problem is i tried to figure out how the ranking worked in MLP and after a bit i just fucking gave up. Guard Captain seems to be the highest rank, so i just lumped everything together and went with it with something that might make sense to those who don't know. One day i'll try to even it out. Maybe.
I think my rankings that i just rolled with were.
Guard Captain
Captain
Colonel
Major
LT
Sergeant
Corporal
Private
With the Wonderbolts more Warrant officers.
Not sure if i gave differing ranks to the differing branches in TGaP or not. One of those plot holes i glossed over.
"Dragged." There's no such word as drug in that context.
Huh... That new to me...
Blueblood and Twilight? Neat and unique!
Shining Armor is adorable
Poor Shining
Crossbow... Father armed... Classic 👍
10654745
Agreed. Especially if his parents a gold diggers...
Five trillion bits says this is Shining's Lesson Zero before Twilight has her Lesson Zero.
This is a very rare Blueblood type. One we don't want see turned or otherwise killed off.
Prince as first name... Add a titel as a prince and it become awkward funny.
Ugh... Well, that kinda ruined this story for me... Shame
10654745
Ive never understood the fandom treating Blueblood like they do. Dont they realize Rarity was acting like a Gold Digger in the season 1 finale?
11522112
Rarity may have been acting like a gold digger, but blue blood was a catastrophic piece of shit as well.
