Fly by Night


E

How exactly does a muscle car turn up behind the Sugarcube Bakery? Considering how much time Pinkie Pie spends around that place, the walls of reality were probably wearing a bit thin. However it got there, an excitable young filly has found it ... and that was when the trouble started.

One Mother. One Daughter. One Hot Rod.
Ponyville won't know what hit it.

Light-dark content, comic violence but no death/gore/blood
Comments and constructive criticism are always welcome!

Thanks to SuchAFoal for the proof read and thumbs up!
Cover image made (badly) by me. No one else is to blame. I OD'ed on lens fares and went temporarily insane.

By the beard of Starswirl, it's a pony car!

This was seriously great fun.

Yeah everyone needs to roll 3d20 for pun damage.

Still I thought it quite funny.

Holy luna what did i just read

1000741 Thanks, that's what I was trying for!

1000809 I'm not sure ... did you get the license number? :pinkiehappy:

because of that title I read the whole thing in Morgan Freeman's voice.
thank you. :heart:

Solid story!:pinkiehappy:

"Ummm, a very unlikely insurance claim?"
Best quote I have seen.
This was a good day to read a story.

What, no toggle switch to engage the blower?

Truely a great read :rainbowkiss:. I can't wait to read your next tale :raritywink: If you every need any help again don't hesitate to ask.:twilightsmile:

Everything should be read in Morgan Freeman's voice! I would listen to the list of ingredients in Corn Flakes if he were narrating it!

Hopefully 'Wall eyed maniac pony driven car' wasn't covered under Act of God.

It was an optional extra?

Thanks again for the proofread! I've actually got another story done, but I'm giving it a little polish and filling in a few plot holes before publishing.

1002035 looking forward to it:raritywink:

Whoa that was intense! :rainbowderp:

1012049 Honestly, I really didn't mean for it to come out quite the way it did. But once :derpyderp1: was behind the wheel, she took over the story and there was nothing I could do about it. :scootangel:

1013545 I liked the intenseness of it! Unexpected, but well done! Almost had a Sixth Sense quality to it with that "It's been such-and-such the whole time?" feel. :twilightsmile:

1015716 Thank you for the compliment! :twilightsmile:
I really wasn't sure how to end it. It was either going to be 'was it all made up by Dinky?', or 'Screw it, I'll just have Celestia chase them out of town in her monster truck.'.

1015809 "'Screw it, I'll just have Celestia chase them out of town in her monster truck.'. " That would've been funny too! :rainbowlaugh:

1015896 It would have been ... but after how weirdly mean parts of the story got, I decided I wanted to end it on a slightly more upbeat and 'nice' ending. Cause I'm kind of a huge wuss that way :twistnerd:

What's really nice about this story is that it gets dark, but then balances it out with the comedy and especially the canon-friendly ending, keeping a perfect center between the two. It's a short but furious little ride for characters and audience both, and would even fit terrifically into the real series as one of those wacky one-off 'what if?' type of plotlines.

I clicked this at first purely because the title pun made me lol. I was expecting an ENTIRELY different kind of fic where you actually did a comedic-dramatic race relations parody thing. ;) But what I got instead made me lol more, just in a different way than I was expecting!

...only problem is, now where do I find the race relations parody fic your title now made me crave?!

1042031 Thank you so much for the very kind compliments! Honestly, when I started out writing it, I had slightly different tone and style in mind. It just didn't end up that way. I blame Derpy for this ... :derpytongue2:

Hmm, I don't know where you'd find a proper racial tension and struggle fic, but my hunch would be there's probably a lot on the theme in the war and history type stories. After all, it's cannon lore that there was a time when the three pony species were totally segregated from each other.

Okay, that was Awesome! Actually, about... oh... 20% cooler than any other fic I've read before ^-^

Read this while listening to Eurobeat and imagined the car being the AE86 from Initial D,
Awesome...

This cries out for a sequel
