Twilight Gets a Puppy

Brindle Gossip,
Epilogue 1
[Ponyville Library, later that night.]
“Well I’m glad that's over.” Twilight sighed, trotting into the kitchen, back to her normal Unicorn self. “Where's Rahs?”
“He just got in the bath down stairs. “Spike offered “He's still having trouble with his hooves. And we just got Rainbow Dash out of here a couple minutes ago.”
“It's ten o clock at night , doesn't she have some where else to be?” Twilight sighed looking down at her re- Dragoned assistant / brother.
“She claimed to want to see him with a wet mane. She's super interested for a pony who claimed to not be at all interested unless he had wings.” Spike shrugged. “Oh, I got a letter back from the Princess. She's okay with your plan, She's going to send the decree to the mayor and send a few ponies down to help Miss Cheerilee oversee it all. She'd also like further details on the situation when you can send them.”
“Great. So who's on the list now?” Twilight asked as Spike held up a large scroll riddled with names.
“Easier to say who's not on the list.” Spike lamented.
“Alright, who's not on the list?” Twilight chuckled.
“Well us of course, and Cheerilee. Nurse Redheart is off it, as she kept Dr. Quack's office open, despite the doctor running off and hiding.”
“They really need a full hospital in this town. The population is more than enough to require one.” Twilight sighed. “Something to look into later.”
“Filthy Rich is not on the list. In fact he was rather angry that Barnyard Bargains locked up when Zecora came into town. He's looking to replace the manager and has his own class all his workers will be forced to attend.” Spike offered.” So we can probably take most of them off the main list.”
“Well, he is all about business, It's never a good idea to discriminate if your goal is selling things.” Twilight shrugged.
“Big Mac and Granny Smith are off the list too.” Spike added.
“Really?” Twilight's ears perked up.”With how Applejack was I figured they would have just as many problems with a Zebra as she did.”
“Mac explained that he makes apple deliveries to a number of Zebra run farms and restaurants in neighboring towns. Granny deals with the requests and delivery orders so she has met most of those ordering from Sweet Apple Acres personally.” Spike sighed.” According to her Applejack has issues with Zebras because of something that happened in Manehatten when she was younger.”
“Ehh, she was willing to set that aside it seemed, but it's not enough to get her off the list.” Twilight shrugged. “What about Rarity?”
“She refused. Claimed this was twice she did something like this and figures she needs to go just to be sure there's not a third time.”Spike smirked.” Seems she is learning, not enough for me to warn her about Prince, but she's getting there.”
“You're still an ass for that.” Twilight sighed.
“I don't see you warning her.” Spike snarked.
“Not my business.” Twilight smirked before tilting her head as she noticed Spike's expression had shifted to one of worry and concern.
“What?” Twilight questioned.
“Your horn. It's sparking.” Spike stated pointing up at her head.
“What?” Twilight asked as she looked to the kitchen window, her reflection in the dark glass showed small flickers of light dancing around her horn.
“Is it a surge?” Spike asked.
Twilight frowned reaching over to pick an apple from the fruit bowl on the table with her magic. The apple took to the air for a moment before it suddenly folded in on itself from the pressure of her magical grip, spraying apple juice everywhere and crushing everything else into a chunk about the size of a apple seed before even that folded in on itself.
“What in Tartarus?” Twilight stammered before the sparks suddenly stopped and the light of her horn went out, the half seed falling to the table with a thud as the super dense seed imbedded itself in the wooden table top. The purple mare went wide eyed for a moment before her eyes rolled back in her head and she fainted on the kitchen floor.
“TWILIGHT!” Spike shouted getting out of his chair managing a few steps towards her before he wobbled and sat down hard falling over into unconsciousness as well.
A few moments later A soaking wet Moon Dog, dripping suds and water all over the floor burst into the kitchen flinging open the fridge, grabbing anything he could and shoving it into his mouth, devouring it as if he was a starving pony seeing food for the first time in months. The Moon Dog was so focused on eating every scrap of food he could get his paws on that it wasn't until he had eaten all the meat from his last hunt, bones included, and cleared everything else out of the fridge that he noticed the others on the floor. The only reason he even spotted them was because his eyes had been drawn to the apples on the table.
Despite the fact that both his siblings were laid out, Rahs couldn't help wolf down the bowl of apples, something that finally took the edge off his hunger, before he scooped up the pair of them and rushed out of the kitchen and out the front door. The soaked Moon Dog tore through the streets of Ponyville headed for the hospital dripping suds and water still as he streaked off into the night.
lol i think this epilogue alone explains what is going on. but i'll keep quiet for your other readers.
The connection between them is broken. Twilight now has more magic as it is no longer partially being eaten, and that explains why he is so hungry. He is not getting any majic from Twilight
This should be interesting and FINALLY at least a couple of questions answered about our little puppy.
...Well, sh**.

One likely explanation, and one that Trixie will be pleased to hear.

I think you may be on the right track. Definitely makes sense. He ate a bunch when he was a pony, so unless his full belly didn't carry over when he changed back, he shouldn't be starving. Dripping suds suggests that he got out of the bath before finishing getting clean, so he may have only been in it just long enough to get cured before the hungry struck and took over, sending him upstairs for food. Though if they didn't still have their bond while Rahs was a pony, one would think that Twilight would have experienced her surge sooner (or it just took some time to build up to that point).
Regardless, looking forward to seeing what happens next.

While she might be pleased about the broken bond, she might be equally displeased that she missed out on seeing pony Rahs. Better hope someone took pictures.
So Rarity is or isn't on the lisy of people going to the party? Its slightly unclear on that point. If she is, I don't doubt she's going to attempt to put Blueblood "under her spell". Its going to be hilarious to see her swagger up to him and say "oh my one true love, please marry me now!" only to have Twilight go "What the hell, Rarity?".
Plus there's still Pinkie, who apparently started the whole thing with Zecora in the first place yet doesn't actually seem sorry. But after Gilda that's no surprise to be honest.

Rarity opted to be on the list rather than not, the list is explained in another epilogue.

close

She was not on the list and she asked to be left on it. and this list might not be what you think. As for Gilda Aside from annoying the fool out of her at first she didn't do anything to Gilda but throw here a party. Rainbow Dash was the one who pranked her, not Pinkie all Pinkie did was throw her a party. This whole episode had pretty much all of them out of character. Just to throw out a racist bit. In fact in the end of the episode they trash zecora's place, insult her and only through the magic of plot armor does she not whoop all their arses for it.
I think the opposite is happening. All the passive magic he absorbed as a pony is surging through the link they share. Instead of a power drain, it's a power overload.
Edit: That or Rahs has started producing his own magic as a result of his transformation and his body's metabolism is going into overdrive, the excess magic bleeding/surging into the shared link.
YES! Forced sensitivity classes for the majority of Poneyvill

See, this is why you should invest in magic surge protectors LOL
Oh, fantastic. Isn't residual Chaotic magic just a wonderful thing to have with no less than 3 Familiar bonds?
/s
100% Chrysalis get her hooves on Shining Armor!
Well... I was wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pretty sure the Sparkle familie generates enough chaos to keep Discord with a chillaxed face, smoking pony manes all day long
Surge with her powerlevel?
Hope she don't blow up Ponyville by accident
