Twilight Gets a Puppy

Sonic Rain Boof , Epilogue 2
[Ponyville]
“Give it a rest already.” Twilight sighed.
“Nuts to that mare, I nearly died!” Rahs snapped. “I'm going to jumble up your entire library and then Spike and I are taking a vacation!”
Rahs stormed towards Golden Oaks Library with Spike and Twilight hot on his hooves. The former trying not to giggle and the latter a bit panicked.
“Come on that was an accident... seriously who could have known that all was going to happen.” Twilight protested. “ You already got Pinkie Pie to Black List me from the book store for a month what more do you want!? Really you should be blaming all those mares that chased you, not me!”
“You know he wouldn't have had to avoid those mares if you hadn't forced him to become a pony.” Spike added.
“Exactly, thank you Spike.” Rahs nodded.
“Yes... thanks Spike.” Twilight growled.
“No problem.” Spike smirked.
“I'm also going to hide your Canterlot Library Card.” Rahs added.
”You Monster!” Twilight shouted.
The small group had attracted a great deal of attention as they argued their way back home. A number of mares were curious about the handsome stallion running around with Twilight, particularly as most of them knew Big Mac was no longer available thanks to the purple unicorn. Thankfully their self preservation instincts kicked in the moment they realized that he was the third Sparkle Sibling and that the three were arguing again. That was a clear sign to any but the most foolish that there was somewhere else they should be. And the foolish didn't last long in Ponyville.
Plus the Flower Trio had boarded up their house hours before the groups balloon had even landed, so every pony was already on edge.
The trio had just reached the front door of the Golden Oaks library, when Twilight darted in front of her brothers pressing herself to the door and glaring at them.
“You are not getting in here until I know you're not going to mess with my books.” Twilight snapped.” I can hold this door shut as long as it takes!”
Rahs raised a brow looking down at Spike who simply shrugged.
Rahs reached a hoof past his sister opening the door, which swung inward taking Twilight with it and dumping her on the floor.
Rahs and Spike stepped over her pausing to look over the library.
“What?” Rahs questioned.
“No!!! Leave my books alone!!” Twilight cried whipping up to her hooves.” I've only read them all twice...... AHHHHHH!!!!
The entire library was empty, every shelf bare and showing exactly how poorly Spike dusted in some places. Twilight shrieked and vanished with a pop of magic, before reappearing again.” MY ROOM IS EMPTY TOO!! BOOK THEIVES!! WE”VE BEEN ROBBED!!!”
“Hello Twily......” a rather annoyed sounding and decidedly mares voice spoke out.
Twilight whipped around as her brothers looked over to the check out desk and the high backed chair behind it . A chair that was very slowly turning around to reveal the figure sitting in it.
The figure revealed itself to be a white furred mare with a shock of blue hair atop it's head around her horn, a shield cutie mark graced her flank and her angry gaze was leveled at Twilight.
“Shining Armor?” Spike asked before cracking a smile and then falling over laughing.
“I think perhaps you might have forgotten to tell your brother something?” Shining asked glancing at the stallion with Twilight. “And is this your colt friend Big Mac?”
“First off, eew. Secondly, she's actually managed to start dating Mac?” Rahs asked looking down at his sister who started to turn red. “Well then, I need to have some words with some pony.”
“That's Rahs, Shining..... No wait..... hehehehehe not Shining Armor, Gleaming Shield HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!!” Spike bellowed before collapsing again.
Rahs stared at the white mare as she stared back at him.
“Poison Joke?” Shining asked.
“Yep.” Rahs agreed.
“Intentional?”
“Of course.”
“Twilight.”
“Got it in one” Rahs nodded,
“Where are my books!?” Twilight gasped.
“I boxed them up and mailed them to Saddle Arabia. Shipping is quite cheap this time of year and of course it's a wrong address so they'll only be lost in the mail a few weeks before they come back. Of course they are in mixed boxes, with as little order as I could possibly get them in. So you'll get one crate back with two books from one set and a scattering of others all out of order.” Shining grinned evilly.
“Better than my plan.” Rahs nodded.” But I’m still hiding her library card.”
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” Twilight screamed.
Helpful tip for Twilight
Twilight go home and look for the family albums. Find the Shinny's baby photos, copy them and then hand them off to his unit and other commanders along with the princesses.
And if that dosn't work, find were his Hoofball cards and premium comic books and thrown them in a burning barrel with him tied up and watching.
Revenge is best served cold. use this knowledge well.
You certainly have a great way if reframing these episodes, can't wait to see what you have next!
This wouldn’t have happened if Twilight didn’t intentionally spike Shining’s drink with Poison Joke or forcibly transform Rahs into a pony. Ah, sweet, sweet revenge.
You monsters!!!!!
wow shiny.. that's harsh
I think you miss the eps of the main 6 telling the CMC their cutie mark stories. But that all back stories so I guess it's o.k. to skip.
9030004
nah that's season 2 cutie mark chronicals
Isn't that a public library? Did they just remove all the public books from the library to get at Twilight? Does no one else visit the library?
9030026
As if anyone in Ponyville would have the guts to complain about sparkle shenanigans. The foolish don't last long in Ponyville, after all.
9030037 No one visits the libary because Twilight is NOT a real librarian and does not have the credentials for one and is a book hoarder. Also, no one’s able to borrow the books they need because of surprise- Twilight!
9029990 I'd agree with except the
part. Seriously, this only happens when doesn't have the guts for anything more strait forward.
9030037 And that was BEFORE those three showed up.
9030037
the Truth hath been Revealed unto us unworthy Readers!
*falls to knees, bowing up and down with arms extended*
Can there please be a chapter where just about everyone close to Twilight threatens Big Mac? Seriously, with as weird as her family is, I kinda just want to see them raise hell for the farm pony.
good chapter(s) hope to see more soon
Oh right... completely forgot about her
This part, altough short, is actually really amazing
You're right, we have been waiting for it... and looking forward to it
9030053
Even if she isn't the books are still public property and Shinning would probably get fined for any that are loss or get damage.
9030174
True but since it would be the head librarian[ Twilight] who would fine him [ okay mostly Spike] there would be the issue. But the thing is he planned for this and checked them all out first, he's got the cards and everything.
Well I can say you definitely got the fear of 'losing books and a library card' levels right. Easy to know when you(me) are a bookworm as well.
9030021
It’s Season 1, Episode 23 unless you’re moving the episode to season 2 for narrative purposes.
9030321
*checks his notes* well shit i missed one.
Hahaha, OMG that was priceless imagining that and Twilights reaction.
Cadance: I wonder where is my Shining Armor? And why did the Royal Guards give me a funny look when I asked them?
9030207 Methinks Spike is the real librarian because Twilight makes him get all the books while she just sits in her corner studying stupidly obscure spells. If it wasn’t for her special talent in magic, she pretty much wouldn’t be able to take care of herself and even if she didn’t have a special talent in magic, tea would be the only thing she can make because that’s prolly the one thing Celestia taught her that’s not magic-related.
I can also imagine Twilight summoning eldritch abominations whenever she cooks, though.
signs, cant wait for shiny to tell cadnace about big mac,
i cant wait for rah, spike and shiny armor to go talk to big mac,
cant wait for princess to go talk to big mac,
then big mac become smart and run away never returns, or help track down all her books
9030062
yeap i can see this the boys treating and get to knew him, then candace show up to see what she can do to help the two kick it off live happy ever after, and lastly celeistia show up and tell big mac two thing, A. break her heart you be in the sun forever, and if you put a foal in her i expect a ring on her horn within a hour.
9030545
Shiny and Cadence know about bigmac. Thats why her shipping sense went off in WinterWoof up
9029995
It wasn't intentional, as far as I can see.
Poison joke affects all the Sparkle siblings through the link. Twilight took precautions to keep it from transferring from Rahs to her or Spike, but forgot about Shining Armor.
This is one of the best story chapters I have ever read on this site. I can just see the scene playing out in my head, I damn near fell out of my chair
Here have some mustaches
The real trouble begins when the mail service loses one of those crates. Poor Twilight will always wonder which books are really missing.
9030784
She forgot about Shining, so that part isn't intentional. But exposing any of them to Poison Joke in the first place was.
Nice job giving us Gleaming Shield! <3
Though I have to say...Shining was ESPECIALLY evil with his plan. I mean...wow!
You had it coming, Twilight.
Twilight is bashed pretty well in this.
Uh, who is the dramatic one again?
Another interesting one, pretty good overall if not as standout amazing as others, but good, though the start was a bit rough in having a few things that left me kind of . So, I did love bringing up how Rahs had to be a pony to make the trip otherwise he'd just 'eat' the cloud walking spell, very good thinking and love when stories keep their rules consistent, but it then bring up the question of why Twilight was trying to do this well before the point where they all found out about the competition and that RD could use some moral support for it. Now yeah, could just say they found out about it early for some reason, but I think we've established how I feel about random changes like that, especially wholly unneeded ones. Plus how it ended up with Rahs having the wings. At first I just chalked no Rarity wings to the change in the library scene, the book with the spell didn't hit Pinkie for her to bring it up at all. And the rest of the scene was skipped due to it just being the same as the episode mostly. But it being Rahs instead... not a case of not making sense at all, but feeling like we missed something by not seeing how that played out.
So start was a bit rough-ish bt still worked and overall, again, good bit with some fun moments. So, specfic notes on things...
I do love Zecora realizing something weird is about to happen, and wanting to get out of town ASAP. Also, yay Tuesday being the odd day instead of Saturday.
I am not sure if Science Twilight, or Pissed off Twilight is scarier. Really it depends on the target. If you are the one she's pissed at, it's the latter, but in any other case, the latter, far more likely to be collateral damage.
And, the change to having to have Twilight keep the cloud walking spell active was, so really really weird and didn't make a lot of sense at all, especially when it didn't really come to anything that wouldn't have been easy enough to explain without it. And the wing spell explicitly had a time duration on it rather then 'concentration'. Just, a baffling change.
And then there is the whole 'Gleaming Shield' subplot. At first I was sure Cadance was planning for this and her and Gleaming would be spending the whole time locked in their room. Still feels odd she wasn't given this seemed to have started as a request from Luna,which just made it make more sense. Though if it's something more along the lines of Luna just wanting to find out if it was possible, rather then give an exact time table for Cadance to scheduled around it might make sense. This also is another bit the made the opening odd,given we are given two different reasons for Rahs being turned into a pony.
THIS IS CLOUDSDALE!
Moon moth wings, better watch out you don't get taken down by someone trying to level their alchemy.
I love getting just what Rahs is saying, and being just so damn "I am 100% done with this shit!" It just reinforces hearing all his unsaid dialog the same way people have come to interpret R2-D2's. With that driod being the snarkiest, saltiest, most foul mouthed being in the entire galaxy.
Okay, I literally lol'ed at the Trash Ponies bit, which given I was reading on break at work got me a few odd looks. Though only from the newbies that weren't used to that by now.
Do not insult Twi's friends, especially not when all three of the siblings are there to make you regret it.
Also, good sis, teach those oogling flank chasers a few lessons.
.......... bringing up that fic.... no! Bad story! Bad! At the very least include the actually damn good part about that whole thing.
Especially since it came first and the fic was inspired by that.
And now we are in Darwhiny Award territory. Schlock Mercenary, take it away!.
schlockmercenary.com/strip/1028/0/schlock20030405.jpg
Spike, don't be upset by the multi-Joe's. All worlds have that one merchant who seems to have a double in every nation or major city. It could be far, far worse, you could be stuck with a CMOT Dibbler in every town.
Rahs.... you just had to use "I wanted a taco" with that group around you... that's your own damn fault.
Okay, and another 'what?' moment of the story not keeping itself straight. Why did Dash act surprised at finding out Rahs isn't attracted to Ponies, when just last 'episode' she was the one who told Luna and Cadance about that fact?Okay, innuendo spiel 2.0 was just as awesomely hilarious, with one exception that makes no sense. "Checking for traps with a ten foot pole", that should be like 'Ten inch ple' or something (actual number may vary) but more importantly, that is a HORRIBLE metaphor. Why the hell would anyone use their dick to check for traps like that?
And now that she knows Rahs is kind of into Griffon's, it makes her asking Twilight to turn her into one later have all kinds of new context.
So, random 'cloud safety net' that was never there, seems to be above the stadium due to the direction Rahs was going in, and why would any of them even think that would help him in the first place given he never had a cloud walking spell on him?
Very good last words Rahs, trust the theater-pup to be so eloquent.
How did RD hear her own Rainboom? The whole thing about a sonic boom is you are now traveling faster then the sound itself.
Rahs, just... for your own sake, never say 'buck you' around a female. It'll be safer.
What was Celestia doing on the ground?
Horse-pitol......... I hate you story.
Do love the time in Golda's head, how Griffonstone shaped her, why she distrusts ponies, sees it all as a trap, it's just really good characterization that plays into everything we know very well. Good job story.
Also, I totally called Cadance being up for some threesomes! And note her only hesitation was if Shiny would be into griffons, not if he'd be into a threesome.
And add another wanter of Rahs' knob ended wizards staff.
And I just love how perfectly 'sibling' all four of their dynamics are with each other, they really do feel like a family.
The Twimac stuff just... not a huge fan. The Rahs gets all the mares is funny, as long as it's not too focused on, but just, slamming in more romance subplots could really bog down the story. Plus it felt rather out of nowhere. Half thinking its not the case, and just Twilight spreading word that it is.
"The foolish didn't lst long in ponyville"
So, Ponyville is a massive Darwhinyian event that is slowly making ponies stronger as a race? I can buy that.
9030727 That wasn't really well conveyed, the way it comes off is her sense hit, but she had no idea which of the three it was, and assumed it was for Rahs after finding out just how every being without a Y chromosome in Equestria wants him (and even a few with one), so went out to try and find his perfect shipmate.

Twilight is more willing to experiment on Rahs than any of her other friends, hence why Rahs got the wings.
The reason for the cloud spell requiring a constant effect was to make sure twi didn't just grab Rahs as he fell past. That seemed dumb in canon.
The cloud net was under it too , but he fell through that as well.
TGaP Celestia is more competent than canon so she teleported down to the ground to catch them.
