Dashing swordswomen, wizened wizards, bitter revenge, and the power of true love.
All part and parcel of Twilight's favorite book. And what better way to spend an afternoon with her sick girlfriend?
Vaguely inspired by The Princess Bride.
An entry into Aragon's Comedy is Serious Business Contest, under the Prompt, "We Learned Something Narrative."
Thanks to r5h, Kalan, and Novel Idea for editing.

This was definitely a pleasant surprise on a cold Monday evening. Thank you!
Also, why don't we have a smiling Sunset? Someone should really get onto that.
Yet another masterpiece. You, sir, are my favorite SunLight author, if not my favorite in general.
*sneeeerrrrrk*
BWAHAHAHA!
^^
Me: .... Dance, boner dance!
I assume this isn’t the same universe as Fractured Sunlight, but given how literally everything you write is a well crafted treat, I don’t think it matters.
I like it.
I am outraged at the way the short story ended. Clearly the author was just trying to push their heteronormative agenda! While Twilight's ending wasn't perfect, it's infinitely preferable.
As a fan of the Princess Bride film, I approve of this story.
Cheesy and delicious. Like nachos.
Needs more Andre the Giant. Other than that, this was a nice little romantic romp. Good luck in the contest!
so whod be the third person?
oh SHIT, I'm competing with the Princess Bride. That's just not fair.
This is so much better than the two-thirds of a story i've managed to write.
This was cute. That’s really all I have to say.
I haven't read that many of the entries in this contest but this is the only one that actually made me laugh. If it was up to me, you'd win. Have a fav and a like. The Frank approves.
Wasn't expecting the evil queen route, but it was enjoyable none the less.

Big Mac the Giant?

None who gaze upon The Area are left untouched by its power.
And this, my friends, is what makes authors want to make AUs of their own works.
I really do enjoy how you took the basic setup and made your own fairy tale out of it, by the way. Excellent work!
Sweet, hilarious, and with some wonderfully unexpected turns. Excellent fable flavor and wonderful Sunlight. Thank you for it... even if I do kind of wish these two would take over the world.
What if Spring Break begins and Sunset decides to spend the whole week in Sci-Twi's home doing nothing but making love like rabbits in their burrow?
I was prepared for more comedy when Twilight read her version of the story. I found myself smiling and dead inside.
Bruh.
ok this was cute i loved it so the question thoe is what drove the queen mad was it the despair over loosing her love
Nobody suspects the Spanish Inquisition!
9/10 for the story! Bravo to the author!
I like Twilight's ending better.
Seriously, great job. It was adorable, exciting and had some real funny moments.
...Wait.... Bloodfist Thunderpunch had arms that were skinny enough to fit into the Pringles can? I call shenanigans.
*Slow clap*
Oh yeah? I'm sure the author was, indeed, struggling with Pringles at that point. Isn't that right, author?
I agree with Twilight, her ending is far more to my taste than the authors. The SunLight will last FOREVER!

Not quite HIS boner that I was taking about.

The Area is all, the one universal constant. Its presence may be felt within all of us. Some have tried to claim that with the temporary hiatus of Its mortal Host, the Area has been forever lost to us, but those who Know and can See will understand that the Area will be forever within us. If you meditate on Its Holy Images, you too can feel the Area within you.

.....You COMPLETELY missed the point of my joke, didn’t you?

My child, all boners are but aspects of the One True Boner. fnord
8721584
Ok, whatever.
8721594
You're silly. I like you.

.....
Ummm, ok?
Just like Lyra and Bon Bon!
Well what else would she call it?
So do I, write an alt ending.
Hitmonchan used its Z-Move, BLOODFIST THUNDERPUNCH!!! It's super effective!
Write that alt ending too.
What is this key made of that it floats? Maybe if it was tied to a cork or something.
....no comment.
Well that's just rude, Sunset!
...invite her to join in.
Evil Twilight, didn't see that one comin'.
SunDash as a consolation prize? Well, better than nothing.
Well obviously!
Another delightfully hilarious and fluffy oneshot from you.
Great story (of course), but I find myself obsessing over what the original author was thinking with that "twist" ending.
I mean, in Princess Bride, you have a romance, which then becomes a love triangle with the addition of the prince, which is then resolved when the prince is revealed to be the villain. And various friendships are made along the way. In the end, True Love triumphs.
In this case you have a romance, followed by a friendship. The romance is betrayed and then the friends decide to become lovers at the end as a consolation prize. Hardly the kind of story that anybody is going to read twice.
So what did the author have against the "Twilight" character? I mean, she was willing to love someone who would be bad for her future as a merchant, so she isn't solely ruled by ambition. Is the author trying to teach a lesson about the corruption of power? The danger of crossing class boundaries? Is he secretly a homophobe trying to teach the lesson that falling in love with your own gender will always end with tears? Or is he perhaps going with the stereotype that all merchants are Jewish, and he's anti-Semitic?
And then of course comes my final question: Who in their right mind reads this kind of story to a sick, possibly dying kid? To make sure that Twilight goes out of this world learning the vital lesson to never trust government officials???
...Or is the intended lesson that you should always bet on the badasses of the world to come out on top. OK, I can buy that one.
Well, that was a feelsy trip.

Exploring the hypothetical authors mindset wasn't really within the scope of the story, but for a slightly more charitable interpretation, you could say that they wrote it quickly, decided to go for the tragic twist to make it more 'poignant' and didn't stop to consider the implications.
It's also only a short story, not even a full novel, which don't often stand out as long lasting or memorable. It just resonated with Twilight because it hit her hard at a particular time in her life.
Or you know, all that other stuff. It's ambiguous!
Needs the line:
"Yo. My name's Rainbow Dash. You killed my family. Imma stab you in the face."
That was a lot heavier than I expected, but it was quite good
So cheesy, but so true.
I'm not entirely sure if I liked the story (then again I probably read far too much into "like The Princess Bride") but I love that last line.
"Dance magic, dance" has never been so appropriate.
Looking forward to that next Nightmare Night.
I guess homages to the great comedic works are the subject du jour for the Comedy Contest. I've been loving seeing how everyone does a completely fresh take on famous comedic works that feels natural within the MLP setting, and this is no exception. Twilight and Sunset really shine through in both the "real world" and within the fictional book itself (well okay, ending book Twilight is more like Midnight, but still), and additional commentary, just as in the original Princess Bride, really adds a nice comedic flair to the whole thing.
So, are you going to drop random teasers for Twilight's Baby for the next fifty years?
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww that was adorable
I chuckled. It was cute and fun.
Murdered me. XD
Oh god, how much did it hurt to write that fanfic ending?
Wait, what? No, in retrospect I should expect that of Twilight Sparkle and someone she's dating.
