Twilight Gets a Puppy

Collie Mark Chronicles
[ A few days after the Sonic Rainboom ]
“As a young filly in Canterlot I always wanted to go to a Summer Sun Celebration where Princess Celestia raised the sun. And when I finally made it, I saw the most amazing and wonderful thing I’d ever seen.” Twilight smiled wistfully.
“What was that?” Sweetiebelle asked.
“She saw Princess Celestia raise the sun.” Spike dead panned.
“Shut up you, who's telling this story?” Twilight snapped.
“Not you, if you're yelling at me.” Spike smirked.
“Watch it buster this is the story of your birth!” Twilight snapped.
“Yeah, which is a good reason for me to keep making you stop telling it.” Spike frowned.
Applebloom, Sweetiebelle, and Scootaloo all kept back behind the couch as the purple mare paced. She looked completely frazzled and her mane was a mess. She twitched occasionally as she paced before them telling the story. They really hadn't wanted to talk to her but passing the library they were sort of yanked inside by Twilight who was looking for anything to do while her books were in the mail.
It was only the fact that Spike and Owloysius seemed unconcerned and Rahs was nearby with a rolled up magazine, that he had swatted her with a few times already, that kept the girls from running out screaming.
“Anyway after that I decided to learn everything I could and my parents decided to have me apply to Princess Celestia's school for gifted unicorns.”
“That seems a little tribal.” Applebloom pointed out.” What about earth ponies and pegasi?”
“They could enroll too and often had in the past.” Twilight offered. “Seems there were three schools a long time ago in different parts of Equestria, but there were always so few students that all the schools sort of closed down. The one in Canterlot, for Unicorns was the only one that remained and even that was just a back room based out of Canterlot U for years. The new school hasn't been there that long and Princess Celestia calls it her School for Gifted Ponies, but old names stick.”
“Huh okay....” Applebloom considered.
“Any way it would have been great except for the fact I had to pass an entrance exam.” Twilight sighed.
“And here it is.” Spike grumbled as Rahs chuckled.
“The written part was easy, even if they did word three of the questions in such an odd way that I needed to ask the instructors whether they meant Light Fantastic's theoretical physics discoveries, before or after he got his theoretical degree in physics.” Twilight sighed. “ They seemed to have an issue with how I picked apart their wording, but I still got a hundred on it.”
“Translation. She was a nerd.” Spike added.
“I am not having this argument with someone who argues over if a O&O fireball spell creates pressure when it goes off, or just fire.” Twilight snapped.
Spike considered a moment. ”That's fair. Or would be if you hadn't gone through all my rule books while i was in school."
"Errr right... also there's no pressure, it's just magic." Twilight added.
"It's a FIRE BALL, fire creates pressure by rapid expansion as it eats fuel. That's why windows blow out in burning buildings." Spike argued.
“Bork?” Rahs grinned.
“No I’m not arguing my nerd cred with a my other annoying brother either, particularly since he's still singing the songs from Bad Horse's sing along Journal!” Twilight retorted as Rahs laughed.
"Ummm." Scootaloo interrupted.
“Ugh moving on the practical part of the exam was anything but. They wanted me to hatch a dragon egg.” Twilight explained.
“Did you do it?” Sweetiebelle asked getting a glare from Spike and a snort of amusement from Rahs.
“I did, though not at first , I tried every spell I could think of and nothing was working. At the end I was about to give up when some massive boom startled me and a wave of energy washed over everything. I sort of freaked out and blasted the egg causing it to hatch. Of course I also lost control of my magic from the shock, made Spike grow to ginormous size, turned my parents into cacti, and nearly destroyed the testing center before I pulled Rahs out of thin air and painted a wall... don't ask on that last part.”
“They still haven't figured out a way to stop the polka-dots from bleeding through.”
“I told them not to ask, not for you to tell them.” Twilight snapped.” Any way so it took Princess Celestia showing up for me to be brought out of my surge and when I finally calmed down I saw I had my cutiemark... as well as a these two pains in my flank.”
“You know you love us.”
“Can we please go find Rainbow Dash now? “ Scootaloo whined.
Lovely chapter
Why polka-dots? Don't tell me our energic pink pony got her hooves in it too?

No one of the effects of Twilights surge was that a wall that she made yellow with pink polka dots. The colors bled through any other paint or wall paper put on the wall and moved to an entirely different wall when it was torn down only to come back when the wall was rebuilt.
So, are Spike or Rahs going to call RD mommy, daddy, or sister when they find out her end of things?
9032301
Oh Gods RD is Rhas' father!!!
This HAS to come up on the story, it's too golden not to!
Spike, you're a nerd, Rahs is a nerd, Shining Armor is a nerd, you're all a bunch of nerds
Thank you for proving my point Spike
So does this mean that RD asking to bang Rahs counts as incest?
9032680
Maybe.

eeeyup
9032254
thumbs up for your comment based on that clip alone XD
9032301
I say calling her sister is best.
9032680
Wow. That makes the whole story of Spike's birth even more hilarious.
Nice x-men reference
Cute little interlude, do not mess with Twilight's books. I don't care if they are the library's books, all books are Twilight's to care for, for she is Book Horse!
In Puppyquestria, dog hit you with newspaper.
It's not 'tribal' or 'racist' or anything to have a school, dedicate to teaching magic, that only admits those who, you know, actually can do magic. It's like complaining over the fact only pegasi can go to flight camp. This isn't IRL, where 'race' really is only cosmetic, there are distinct physical differences between the pony types that do impact what they are physically able to do.
Oh Twilight, yeah teachers tend to get upset when you point out how badly they worded their question. There's a reason most teachers just told me to go back to reading my book and stop paying attention in class.
Gotta love DnD magic v realism debates. As Harry Dresden's friends have learned, there dangers in inviting a real wizard to those games.

Fort Libris will rise again
You've been seting up the blocks to turn this into a harrem comedy with poor Rahs as our tenchi analog
(hmmm who would be analogus to the other tenchi charicters i wonder...we dont know jynx and the changeling princess well enough to place them..hard to say who would be more the ryoko of the group, trixie or gilda...)

A tenchi analog... hmmmm
Ha! A Fallout New Vegas reference. It was subtle. Nicely done.
Magnificent origin story retelling
Perfect build up to lesson zero!
Can't chose your familie. But i would love to be part of theirs

I cut him up with my katana on how much of a C he is after I made Helios 1 into a SPACE LASER and him complaining about it

There was probably an attempt to rename it, but gave up when someone suggested the Canterlot University for Natural Talents.
Priceless, re-reading the chapters are always worth it 👍
