Twilight Gets a Puppy
By TDR
Green isn't your collar.
[ Las Pegasus]
The narrow dressing room was silent, save the faint flicking of a newspaper page being turned. Seated in a chair in front of a large mirror was a unicorn mare who was calmly turning the pages of a newspaper, reading over the entertainment articles.
“Hmm, famous new model retires only a week after being brought to stardom by renowned Agent and photographer Photo Finish. Claims one of her friends convinced her to step back out of the spot light.” the mare pondered before continuing reading on. “Well not every pony can hack it, just means more spotlight for me. Though where have I heard the name Fluttershy before?”
Trixie stretched out leaning back in her chair trying to slowly work herself down after what was doubtlessly one of her best shows to date. She had almost missed this chance to preform in Los Pegasus. In fact had her wagon still been broken and left her unable to preform she wouldn't have been able to show her stuff in that little farming community two weeks ago. She would have never been talent scouted for the casino and heck, she might very well have been stuck working on a rock farm or something to make ends meet. Instead she was garnering quite a bit more fame and reputation as well as more bits.
She let her head fall back over the cloth backing of her directors chair with a small sigh her hair falling down nearly to the ground. She had opted to let her mane grow out recently something she knew she was only doing because Twilight had long hair. She still couldn't help to constantly compare herself to the mare.
She had yet to find anything to help her quest yet either and she felt she was getting too distracted by her chance at fame.
She spared a glance to her make up mirror, the edges of it ringed in photos, most of them of Rahs, including photos his pony form. She wasn't sure which she liked better at first, though it came down simply to Rahs was Rahs.... but damn that stallion look he had...... She really needed to thank Spike for those wet mane shots, perhaps find him a exotic gem or three out here.
Sure there wasn't much yet to her fame. She was known in certain parts of the city and only a few talent scouts had her on their lists, but she had a dressing room with her name on the door. Granted it was an old closed off hallway left from the last remodeling of the theater, and it was the only access to the catwalk and fly space over the stage.
It had everything she needed any way, a chair, a space for her chest of tricks, vaulted ceilings, close to the wash rooms, a bat pony in Guard armor staring down at her ominously, a make up mirror, and a dresser of sorts.
Trixie yelped, falling back out of her chair and rolling to the door as her gaze shot up to the bat pony perched on the lone rafter beam above her head. The golden eyed figure simply stared at her from under the purple and silver gilt helm he wore. Seriously why was there an armored pony in her room?
“That would be because of us.”
“GAAAAAH!!!!!” Trixie screamed again flipping back around with surprising dexterity and flexibility though she misjudged her landing and fell over her chair. The one that spoke stepped out of the shadows by the door. A large cloak billowed around the figure moving in some unseen air current.
“Yes, and before you ask, no we cannot read minds, but we suspected you would be wondering why a Royal Guard was here.” the figure asked .” Were we wrong?”
“Royal Guard .. who, what, how ?” Trixie stammered trying to untangle from her chair. “Trixie hasn't done anything!”
“Guilty conscience?” The guard asked.
“Why is that the immediate response to that statement from every Guard or Officer that exists?” Trixie shouted back.” If Trixie hasn't done anything then Trixie has not done anything wrong!”
“Comet Trail, do not aggravate her.” The cloaked figure sighed.
“As you wish Princess.” The Guard smirked getting an annoyed huff from the cloaked figure.
“Now Trixie knows she doesn't like you, you don't ruin some ponies dramatic reveal like that!.... wait... Princess?” Trixie's attention switched quickly to the cloaked figure as she pulled the hood away, revealing herself as none other than Princess Luna.
“Oh buck me....” Trixie cursed under her breath quickly rolling over to her hooves to bow.
“Not sure you're my type.” Comet Trail offered getting a glare from Luna. “Right, shutting up now.”
“Please, rise, this is not official business Trixie Lulumoon. Nor is it because thou have wronged any one...... yet... that we know of” Princess Luna added, before she walked over to the mirror looking at the images there, a small smirk crossing her features.
“So if Trixie might ask Princess. Umm, why are you here?” Trixie stammered slowly rising.
“Our Grandson.”
“Err well, Trixie does not usually do Cute cena's and Birthday Parties any more, but she can easily make an exception for royalty.” Trixie stammered.” Though Trixie also admits she was unaware you had a Grand foal...”
“Hmm, thou needn't worry, he was unaware as well at first. Though we have corrected that, he is still unsure of what to do about it, so we have taken it upon ourselves to see to his continued happiness regardless.” Luna smiled.
“While Trixie is sure that is wonderful news for him, she is not sure what it means to her.” Trixie commented confused already and getting more so when Princess Luna plucked one of the images of Rahs from her mirror and offered it to Trixie.
“This is our Grandson..” Princess Luna grinned.
“This is just a picture of Rahs, a friend of Trixie's who lives in Ponyville, he's a Moon Dog not ….... FUZZYS A PRINCE!?!?” Trixie shrieked.
“Looks like she's already got a pet name for him Princess. Seems Spike gave us a good lead this time.” Comet Trail offered.
“So it seems Lieutenant. Miss Lulumoon calm down.” Princess Luna stated.
“Trixie is afraid that will not be happening any time soon.” Trixie muttered clutching her chest with a hoof sparing a small pinch to her skin to make sure she was awake. She was momentarily distracted as Princess Luna's horn lit up and a spell ran over her form.” What?”
“Nothing too invasive. Just a spell to look over thine overall health and fertility.” Princess Luna offered considering the results of the spell. “ Thou are quite healthy with a rather impressive reserve of mana, Though Tia did say thou were once in her school. Thine earlier flexibility display was impressive as well. Yes, thou shall do nicely.”
“Umm nicely for what? And what was that about fertility?” Trixie asked sheepishly.
“Oh that is nothing, thou are quite healthy in that department as well.” Princess Luna smiled. “ We only check to make sure, as we do wish great grand foals... or pups... one or the other... perhaps both.”
“Grand foals? Pups? Wah?” Trixie stammered, her head swimming with those thoughts as she turned bright red.
“Thou seems quite enamored with him and he regards thou highly as well. It is perfect and we do not find anything lacking with thee. Thus we proclaim we approve thine courtship with our grandson Rahs. ” Princess Luna ordered with a smile.”Now hurry up with those grand foals!”
Trixie stared a moment before her eyes rolled back in her head and she fainted dead away.
Princess Luna and Lieutenant Comet Trail looked down at her before the Guard chuckled.
“She took that well.”
Trixie groaned rolling over onto her belly before sitting bolt upright and looking around in a panic finding that she was in bed, back in her wagon. After a moment of panic she slowly started to relax.
“A dream.... that was all...” Trixie muttered.
“Yeah about that.... not really.” a voice offered.
Trixie whirled about to see a very pink mare sitting at her kitchen table flipping though the new paper she had been reading earlier. Trixie stared in shock at the mare, taking note the crystal heart on her flank and the fact she had both wings and a horn.
“What........” Trixie stammered.
“I suppose an explanation is in order. As well as introductions.” The mare stated, folding the paper and leaving it on the table as she rose fanning her wings a little.” My Name is Princess Cadence, you might not have heard of me as my coronation was rather subdued and I generally work as an ambassador to other nations rather than for the crown directly. Auntie Luna left a little while ago with her Guards after bringing you back to your wagon after you fainted. Rather impressive wards you have here, but no real match for an alicorn.”
“Dare Trixie ask what you want?” Trixie muttered.
“Hmm oh I’m simply following Auntie Luna around on this quest of hers. While I think it's nice she is trying to look out for Rahs I think she's going a little overboard with it.” Cadence smirked. “ Still as the alicorn of love and the former foal sitter of Rahs I figure I might just check up after her to make sure it's all on the up and up.”
“What?” Trixie managed as another glow ran over her from the alicorn's horn.
“Hmm an infatuation that's grown. Not exactly healthy, but I’ve seen long lasting romances start from less. You like him and he likes you, though not in the same way. Still I can see it working out depending on how much effort you two could put into it.” Cadence murred as she considered the spell. “I can say he likes you, not like likes you but he likes you. That can easily go either way, I’ve never really gotten a read on any one like Rahs. But auntie Luna approved of you, and you seem a nice sort so I'll give it the Cadence seal of approval as well.”
“Ummmm. “Trixie continued.
“That said, those three are like the little brothers and sister I never had, so do be careful about how you go about this. I don't want any of them hurt. And while I don't want any one hurt, I’m a little over protective of them. While Shiny is more focused on any one who is going after Twilight I suppose I have to play big sister to Rahs and Spike.” Cadence considered.” I don't do the intimidation thing very well though, so do us both a favor and be careful okay?”
“Umm alright.” Trixie responded. “ Trixie isn't exactly trying to hurt any one either......”
“That's the spirit, You have a good day now and let me know when you plan to make a move. Just send a letter to Spike and he'll let me know. I really want to see how this plays out and if you can get past Rahs' obliviousness.”
“Errr alright... ummm does Trixie need to expect a visit from Princess Celestia too... because she is not sure she can deal with that....” Trixie explained.
“I don't think so. She washed her hooves of this whole thing once Luna set out on it. Though I expect she will take an interest in watching the fireworks.” Cadence pondered. “ Any way I’ve kept you long enough, just do what you think is best and hopefully it will work out, don't worry about Luna she just gets a bit over excited. Have a good night Trixie.”
Trixie watched the mare get up and walk out the door with a wave , leaving her alone in her wagon confused, worried and slightly more excited about chasing Rahs than she had before now that she had the approval of two Princesses.
[Ponyville]
“Sup Bro.” Spike yelled.
“Big brother what brings you here!?” Twilight perked up as Spike let her older brother into the library.
Rahs offered a wave from where he was stretched out on the couch and Spike excitedly waddled off to get the notes for his latest Oubliettes and Ogres game to let his brother look over them.
“I had a bit of free time. I figured I would come down and see how you've settled in.” Shining Armor smirked looking around the library. “ I always figured you'd wind up living in a library, though not exactly this literally.”
“Yeah yeah.” Twilight smiled.
“So anything exciting going on?” Shining asked.
“Nothing really Fluttershy became a model briefly because she was certain Rarity wanted her too, and Rarity was miserable because Fluttershy became famous when she didn't.” Twilight sighed. “Some one needed to talk sense into them and I finally managed it without Pinkie's constant interruptions.”
“Sounds about normal from what you've said about these mares before.” Shining chuckled.
”So how come you're not hanging out with Cadence then?”
“Well odd thing that, I thought I was going to, but she said she had some business to take care of this weekend. I overheard her talking about going shipping?”
“Really? I didn't know Cadence was into anything nautical. Also I thought it was called yachting for the upper class set.” Twilight pondered.
“Beats me.” Shining shrugged.
Rahs however, felt a cold chill run along his spine and found himself quite worried about Cadence and her boats for some reason.

Poor trixie have to deal with both Luna and Cadance all in one night
Trixie: Look Fuzzy, I got your grandma’s consent to court you.
Rahs: Barrr....?
Twilight: You have to go through me first before you can date my bigger... no, younger? ...whatever brother.
Spike: Thanks for the gems, Trixie.
Twilight: Spike! Our family’ ties are not that cheap!
Spike: Hey, you gave Shining to Cadance over a book, remember?
Twilight: That’s different. I knew Cadance personally and that book was an university’s advanced magic theory.
Trixie: Trixie has here one of Starswirl’s book on magic.
Twilight: Look at the time! I almost miss my reading session with MY new book. Have a good day brother.
So Shining is in town. I wonder if this will make the next episode adaptation any different.
And poor Rahs. He has no idea what sort of trouble Luna and Cadance are getting him into. :D
The ship is armed and ready Captain!
She and I BOTH!
LOL yes! cadance shipping shenanigans? win!
i feel bad for Rah, and have feeling Trixie is going to go about it wrong, at start.

The best part of the Luna & Cadence thing is how Celestia just noped the hell out of that entire situation.
Aww. Shame this was just skimmed over. It would have been interesting to see Rahs get "the magicz" treatment.
boathorse has been unleashed...
hold on to your asses kiddies
8810356
And that's why punctuation is important.
8810727
Celestia probably raided Twilight's fridge for more ice cream once Luna got this scheme of hers rolling.
8810656
why do have feeling shining armor going to do something to scare away all the stallion in town that may want to ask twilight out. yet big mac going to walk up and ask twilight out just to piss him off
You know, I can't help but think that you derive an unhealthy amount of joy and satisfaction from coming up with a segment title that matches the episode title while still managing to incorporate a dog-based pun.
I fear you may rupture something important should you ever hit a point where this can't be accomplished.

I googled it, and it's "a university". Here's what google said: "So, although the letter is a vowel, it is not pronounced like one in 'university' because it does not have a vowel sound. We therefore say 'a university'. The U in umbrella is pronounced as a vowel sound ( Λ using the phonetic alphabet) and so we use 'an'."
Yes, Rahs, be afraid. Be VERY afraid.

I see. Thank you for pointing it out.

Great chapter. I'm kinda hoping they hook up, now.
Also, 'any way' should be one word.
8810356
It should be "Caught 'em" then.
Nice
Dun Dun Duuuuuuuuun
DAT ENDING THO!! XD

Cute-ceañera
Why don’t they just FUCK
Another fun, effective use of a rather Twilight/Spike-less episode going on in the background being used to further the main story of things going on outside the show recaps and changes. Just, all around fun chapter, though when is Luna not? I kind of feel like I should feel she's going a bit too far from show Luna to really fit, and being a tad exaggerated. Yet, she is just so damn FUN and epic I don't care! So, notes.
Fair enough working out how Trixie's life didn't go to utter shit this time, just missing one gig with just the right pony in the audience can change things.
I...would not say Twilight has 'Long hair' at all. AJ, Fluttershy, that's long hair. Twi's is only about mid range, figure more or less equivalent to a person with shoulder length hair. Hell, Trixie's hair is already longer looking the Twiight's.
She's so hot and bothered by wet mane pony-Rahs, she accidentally a word.
Pffft, Okay, one, good gag on the guard noticing. Two, Batpony! YAY! Let us all rise for the glorious anthem of the best ponies!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, because it occasionally works, and they kind of suspect that everyone has something to hide. Though, I really like this Bat pony, so snarky and fun while still being fairly professional.
"FUZZY IS A PRINCE!".....
Took a moment for that to click, and the moment was glorious.
See, my thought on Luna pushing so hard for this, was "So, what's Cadance's reaction to Luna stepping on her turf?" And, well what do you know, here comes Cadance to give it. Do like this, Cadance just kind of going along behind Luna, fixing things after Luna's brute force approach, making sure things don't go wrong, just, letting Luna indulge herself while sticking around for clean up and damage control if needed. Very nice. And while I'm just laughing at Luna's ridiculous absurdity at all this, Cadance.. I like her approach. She's not pushing anything, just evaluating potential, seeing that there might be a basis for things to grow, but not saying if ti's a good or bad thing, not pushing it, just making sure this isn't a huge waste of time. Sure she'd love for Rahs to open up and find a marefriend, but more for his sake then Luna's insistent "Must have Great-Grandfoals!" perspective.
Just, all around, really liked this scene with her.
Another oops.
Yeah, playing the "Fuck with my family and I will make you sorry" card is Shiny's job. Well, usually it's Rahs',but in this case, Shiny can have his back. Twilight, won't give you a warning or try to scare you away. She'll just obliterate you the moment you mess with him.
I'm on Celestia' team for this. Just, sit back and enjoy the fireworks.
"going shipping" Ohhhhhh.... Rahs, you have good reason to fear boats right now.
And obligatory remarks about the 'fix fic' feeling of what little we got told and the brief bit about how it would play out that I've already said enough of. But, I think I've worked out a bit more of what's bothering me about these bits, the changes to Twilight. Season 1 Twilight, sure made a lot of mistakes or failed to just do what to us was blindingly obvious, but, it was for a reason. She had this, innocent naivete about her when it came to interacting with her new friends that made it work, while balanced by quite the snarky side when she did get frustrated or annoyed. This Twilight's traded out that for a good dose of cynicism. I get why and how given her issues growing up. But it can't help but feel kind of wrong to me when it was the lack of cynicism that really drew me into the show.
Still, not really an issue here beyond me trying to ramble out some trains of thought. Really fun chapter to set up things and show Cadance being true Shipping Princess!

I suppose i need to point it out more in fic but TGaP Twilight has Fluttershy length hair. She was complimented on it in one of her dates early on and stuck with it.
And yeah this Twi is much more a cynic, but every so often classic over zealous Twi pokes through.
Soon as I read this, I thought of this;

*dies, cuz this fic has a habit of making me do that*
