Twilight Gets a Puppy
By TDR
Winter Woof Up,
Part 4
“ Oh man. Princess Celestia's gonna be mad...” Spike panicked, dancing back and forth on his feet.”I need to get back to the library and send an apology letter.”
Spike and the CMC stood before a large area of ground that was no longer covered with any sort of snow. This was the third attempt at a snow removal cutie mark and the most successful so far.
“Dunno why, that worked perfectly. Dragon fire snow clearing.” Sweetiebelle cheered.
Scootaloo stood next to Spike with a wide grin on her face, holding one of her own feathers that she had used to tickle the dragon in order to get him to sneeze.
“Yeah, I mean she's tha Princess of tha sun, all that snow prolly melted from yer fire too, so at worst she gets a steam bath or tha carpet gits a bit wet. Easy fix.” Applebloom offered.
“Besides, she's up in Canterlot with plenty of maids and stuff to clean up after her. All we did was help with their job security.” Scootaloo snarked. “What's the worse she can do to you for sneezing? Send a strongly worded letter?”
Spike looked at Scootaloo as if she had grown two more heads. And those heads wouldn't stop singing that song about a talking fox from that weird band whose name looked like a failed attempt at a scrabble triple word score.
“Is it just me or is it getting darker out here?” Applebloom asked looking around at the ground around the crusaders and Spike that was currently in a ever increasing shadow.
The four of them looked up just as a massive snowball landed on top of them burying them in a massive pile of snow and recovering their only successful attempt at snow removal with even more snow.
A few moments later Sweetiebelle dug herself out of the pile.
“You just had to ask that didn't you Scoots?” Sweetiebelle grumbled. “ You just had to tempt fate...”
“Princess Celestia's got good aim.” Scootaloo admitted as she dug herself out soon after.
“Let's not do that again, ah dun want a cutie mark in being a target fer orbital bombardment.” Applebloom grumbled as she pulled herself out of the snow.
Spike managed to burrow out finally, spitting a rolled scroll out of his mouth that bounced off Scootaloo's head before Sweetiebelle caught it and opened it to read.
“Dear Spike.” Sweetiebelle read. “Please cover your mouth when you sneeze. Signed Princess Celestia.”
“Oh man........” Spike grumbled.
Twilight continued on towards the farm, spotting Applejack standing on a small rise before a cliff that marked the start of the Manterhorn that Canterlot was perched upon. Her crew was already working over the fields. Twilight wasn't sure who owned this particular plot of land, but surely there was something here she could do.
“Howdy Twilight.” Applejack smiled. “Nice tah see yah. You been helping out? I spect this being yer first Winter Wrap up in Ponyville yah missed tha meeting to assign ponies to their teams.”
“Hey Applejack. You got it in one. What's going on here?”Twilight asked looking over the collection of ponies pushing odd covered plows around the field.
“Were clearing tha farmland of snow so we ken git tha first crops of that year planted. Winter stores are still good, but they gotta last until first harvest and with more and more ponies coming round here, tha sooner tha better.”
“Wouldn't it be easier just to leave the snow where it is?It would melt faster if it was spread out in the sun.” Twilight stated watching the ponies plowing.
“Yeah it would, but it would make tha ground all muddy and tha seeds would rot a fore they had a chance to sprout. Plus we get all this snow dumped inta tha river now there's less a chance of flooding down river when everything else melts in a couple of days.” Applejack smirked.
“That's.... not something I had considered, though doesn't the plow scrape off the topsoil?”
“A bit of it when there's bumps and dips. But we got that plow blades set to leave a little less than an inch of snow. That much ain't gonna do more than make tha ground soft and most of it's melted after tha first day so tha first waterings taken care of too.”
“This is surprisingly well planned.” Twilight nodded.
“Course it is. Mac and Cheerilee mapped everything out a couple years ago and this part of wrap ups been running like clockwork ever since.... cept fer that year Pinkie Pie helped.” Applejack shuddered. “Mare tired her best but....... yah didn't help her with her skating did ya?”
“No, I figured something was up with how she worded her assignment.”
“Good tah know. Looks like Fluttershy's doing better this year too. Seen a lot of critters running around already.” Applejack nodded.
“Yeah sort of.” Twilight admitted sheepishly.
“So where's Rahs hiding? Yah ever git him outta bed?”Applejack smirked.
Twilight frowned as a small blur of white was flung past them crashing into a pile of snow.
The white rabbit burst out of the snow and hopped rapidly back across the field into a nearby treeline.
A moment or two later Rahs was flung across the field to crash into the same snow bank. The Moon Dog's gray coat was already tattered, though he didn't seem to care as he rushed back across the field launching into an attack on the white rabbit.
Applejack and Twilight watched a moment more as the fight moved deeper into the treeline of the forest . The heavy thud of wood filling the air as tree after tree dislodged their build up of snow as the combatants hit or were hit by the trees.
“Right...... an Spike?” Applejack questioned.
Suddenly something exploded near town and Applejack opened an umbrella almost on instinct as a glut of snow landed in a pile around them.
Twilight frowned as she shook the snow off her mane.
“MY BAD!” Scootaloo called.
“Helping the Cutie Mark Crusaders still.” Twilight deadpanned.
“Seems they got tha catapult working again.” Applejack sighed. So whatcha doing out here? Figured you'd be helping Rarity or tha like.”
“I actually came out here to see if you needed help.” Twilight smiled.
“You want tah help plow?” Applejack tilted her head as Twilight nodded.
“I want to do something and I seem to be running out of options at this point. Everyone else on my list either has it in hoof, or I already screwed it up somehow.” Twilight grumbled showing Applejack the list she had made. “ With Ponyville being more an Earth pony community being good at magic kinda goes against traditions here.”
“Ehh, ah think it's more we ain't never had a powerful enough unicorn round here, more than tradition any way, but whatever floats yer boat.” Applejack shrugged. “Got another plow over here yah ken use and we ken set yah up on tha south field. It ain't a priority, just in case yah somehow screw up pushing a plow. At tha very least you'll have cover from tha next explosion.”
“Right!” Twilight smiled bounding off to hop into the plowing device. A quick glance around showed no brakes or any complex parts, it was pretty much a hollow covered wagon with a push bar, some minor steering ability and a large plow on front.
Twilight smirked pressing against the bar. She strained a bit her hooves sliding before she managed some traction, pushing the wheels pushed free of the snow and starting the cart forward, building up a bit of snow before it rather quickly.
“There yah go Twi, now head that way towards tha south field.” Applejack pointed a hoof.
Applejack was rather impressed the librarian was managing to push the cart. She wasn't as good at it as some of tha others, but she was doing far better than Applejack expected. Clearly she had more muscle on her than she let on. Granted Applejack should have expected that given the Running of the Leaves, but the bookworm didn't look to have that much strength in her like most unicorns.
A sudden burst of speed from Twilight and her plow surprised Applejack further as Twilight was now going as fast as some of her better plowers. She wondered if the mare had used magic, though she didn't see Twilight's horn glowing.
What she did see was Big Mac pause in his plowing to watch Twilight working.
“She ain't gonna last long showing off like that.” Applejack muttered turning back to the other fields to keep them organized.” Caramel yer listing to far ta tha left! Go right a little. No YOUR right! Yer OTHER right!”
Applejack's ears perked up at a loud noise. Turning back, her eyes traveled up the cliff face to witness the rather maddening sight of a small white rabbit suplexing a much much larger Moon Dog into the snow bank. A snow bank that started to shudder and slide at the impact.
“AVALANCHE!!!” Applejack yelled before she was swept up in the rush of snow cascading down the cliff.
So… when is Rahs going to make rabbit stew out of Angel Bunny?
8968112
That's is one of the impossible task. He is better off with the manticore.
8968112
8968129
Never. TDR sides with the bunny.
Rahs can't win, because vorpal rabbit.
Angel can't win because Rahs is getting worfed a lot lately.
Neither can lose because above.
The only viable options here include Fluttershy, them both fighting until they're too tired to do more than twitch at each other, or a noodle incident where they're discovered as best friends at the end of the day and it freaks everyone out.
8968151
HAH someone knows what Worfing is!
far better reason why they don't use magic,
. that make so much more sense
8968151
I hope it the two end up best of friends.....
That she does
THANK you. AJ's reasoning in the show never made sense to me.
8968162
8968151
There’s also the fact that Angel Bunny is in fact the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog!
Where do you think he ended up after getting blasted by the Holy Hand Grenade?
8968211
8968151
8968112 Angel Bunny is the descendent of a God in TGaP. So he's not that far off from some one like Hercules.
8968134
And yes. Yes i do.
8968226 what does that say about Rahs if hes able to fight toe to toe with a demigod?
8968323
If that demigod is a bunny less than a foot tall sure.
8968211 This is something I have been saying for some time now. That furry demon is a greater font of evil than any fiend that any form of hell could produce
8968226
Wait, what?
When I read the note at the end, I thought of the part in "if the emperor had a text to speach device" where he 'sings' that 'fading away' song by simple plan. I'd try and get the clip of it, but I'm on mobile, so screw that.
8968162
A good fight with pool noodles would set them right.
8968354
Luna and Celestia have both mentioned another god called White, who was always late to the Gods parties. [ Alice in Wonderland joke ] Being a rabbit he's rather prolific and spawned a race that the Princesses called Vorpals. Angel Bunny is one of those.
8968334
Well to be fair Yoda is no Michael Jordan in the height department either but you wouldn't want to mess with him. The moment you put demigod in front of most anything (no doubt one could find or create an exception) it suddenly becomes an epic level opponent.
INCOMING!
Wait..so what exactly IS Angel Bunny if he can match Rahs this well???
Also: Wasn't Pony Ball Z tht epic fight between Super Princess Twilight and Discord Powered Tirek??

It's been alluded to a couple times. He's a Vorpal Rabbit, a direct descendant of the time deity, whom Celestia described as a white rabbit.
9170327
His name is white. Hes actualy more of tan color.
Hmmm, got an advert for DB FighterZ after this chapter. I wonder why?
Hahaha, nice reference there. "Orbital bombardment" indeed.
I read that and the first thing that came to mind was that classic Final Fantasy meme about suplexing a train.

Saban ftw
Snow Boulder Exterminatus!

I have questions..........
8968334
I Like this. Goes by the same logic as The Dresden Files, where sure, there are creatures that can bench press whole gyms, move faster then humans can see, and tank pretty much any normal mundane damage. (Not all damage, given there's a story from one older wizard about how he killed a Naagloshi (Native American shapeshifting demon that is pretty much a demigod, or at least Angel tier power) by leading it into a nuclear testing ground just before a bomb went off.
But while magic can do a lot to make creatures OP, it can only do so much against basic physics. Sure that Fae can move and react faster then you could possibly move and is able to dodge all your attacks, but that's only so long as they have something to push off of to move, once they are in the air, it's all ballistics. And small things only have so much mass. Sure Rahs can't actually hit Angel hard enough to hurt him, but he can impart enough force to send the little lagomorph flying. Good overall match up and thought out way things worked.
Wouldn't he send himself to the Princess?
10002192
Nah, dragons are fireproof.
Ponyball Z
Brilliant.
Though it's not wholly similar, we didn't read through 3 chapters of them powering up.
Someone needs to draw Angle Bunny and Rahs as DBZ characters now.
I was listening to deja vu during the fight. Scary thing is the song started just as I got to the beginning of it.
I must have laughed like a pair of hyenas at that... Laughing can be really exhausting 👏
That rabbit is badass! ♡
10028906
So is water usually but he sent a whole pond
10002192
This should happen next.
Rahs vs Angel
Goku vs Vegeta
I wonder if ponies like to play in the snow, they sure get a great work out
Bunny vs Moondog, place your bets!
