Twilight Gets a Puppy
Season 2
By TDR
Mystery on the Friendship Ex-purr-ess
[Ponyville library, one week after Hearts and Hooves Day, not a Tuesday]
“So let me get this straight. She ate the whole thing? The whole multi-layer cake, with a chocolate mouse moose head and doughnut city decoration. In one single bite.....” Cheerilee blinked, laying down the tiles for the word 'Isthmus'.
“ She just jumped into the air, unhinged her jaw and ate it as she landed. It was by far the most disturbing thing I think I have ever seen, and I've dealt with Rahs' diet for years.” Twilight shuddered.
“Woof.” Rahs asked curiously from the couch, not going any where near these two and their scrabble game, it could get heated.
“Oh yeah I'm pretty sure Rainbow Dash forgave Pinkie for the Mare Do Well fiasco after this. But now Pinkie's made Applejack and I mad. Everyone else got a bite or two out of that cake and we didn't even get a taste. We also spent at least six hours talking Princess Celestia down from dropping the sun on Pinkie Pie for devouring the cake before her. I mean she gave the princess a slice you'd cut for a 6 year old who you wanted to cut off from sugar.” Twilight rolled her eyes setting tiles for 'penguin' , playing off the 'u'.
“That should frighten me more than it does.”Cheerilee stated as 'squirrel' was placed off of penguin's 'e'. “I'm sure the cakes are not thrilled with it either, all that work and 'slurp', gone.”
“Not as much as you might think.” Twilight snorted looking at her tiles and simple putting an 's' after penguin, clearly annoyed at her tile set, but not willing to draw a new hoof. “ They still won first place after all, which was the goal. After all the whole point was to win and be recognized. Pinkie's deformation of her whole body definitely drew attention to their place. No bad press and all that. Also it was less a 'Slurp' and more a 'Shlorp'.”
“Bark?” Rahs questioned flipping the page in his book.
“Yeah I'm not too thrilled with Fluttershy, Dash, and Rarity right now either.” Twilight answered giving Cheerilee a glare as she built 'Sphinx' off of her recently laid 's' with the 'x' hitting a double word score.
“ I'm not worried about Dash as I'm still trying to go easy on her with how hurt she was, but I'm about to put my hoof down with how much I'll take if she tries to take advantage of it.”
“I would figure she would be too busy with her new colt friend. “ Cheerilee smirked before frowning as Twilight played off her 'x' with 'xebec'. She looked up at the mare quizzically.
“It's a small three-masted sailing ship with lateen and square sails. I started looking into shipping after hearing it was Cadence's favorite thing. Weird hobby.” Twilight explained as Cheerilee shuffled her tiles into the bag and drew again. “She is.. and it's small wonder that both of them haven't gotten killed yet. Last week they jumped of the side of the Maneterhorn.”
Cheerilee watched as Twilight put 'quais' between the 'q' and 'I' of 'squirrel' and 'isthmus'. “ Ponies do that with parachutes all the time, plus Rainbow Dash is a pegasus.” Cheerilee stated countering with 'S' in the corner of Twilight's last word and 'squirrel' taking a triple letter score.
“Her wings were bound and they both jumped off wearing canvas suits with fabric stretched between their front and back legs. And that was it no safety net.” Twilight growled building 'varus' off the upper 'us'. “They're gonna hurt themselves. Or worse.”
“This from the mare who thinks the deepest mysteries of the arcane are perfectly safe so long as you have goggles and a lab coat.” Cheerilee smirked putting 'wrier' from the top triple word score to connect to 'squirrel'.
“That's different, I live with a magic garbage disposal.” Twilight smirked, placing the word 'airflow' at a 90 degree angle from the first letter of 'wrier' starting the next dimension of the game.
“Bite me!”
“Also airflow? I know we agreed that only a weather pattern word would be allowed to move to the vertical field but that's weak.” Cheerilee chided as Rahs grumbled and stormed off to the kitchen.
“It's all I had the tiles for.” Twilight shrugged.” Besides it's not long enough to reach the top yet, so I didn't need to make it an astrological word too.”
Cheerilee sighed as she built 'yellow' off the now floating 'L' in 'airflow' her tiles floating in place as well. She glanced to Rahs as he left the room. ”I do have a question though.”
“Shoot.” Twilight stated building 'waste' off the end of 'Yellow' bringing the word back over the board, the game starting to look more like a foals attempt at building blocks than a simple game of scrabble.
“Why does your brother do that?” Cheerilee asked.
“Do what?”
“Bark half the time then every so often say something in Equestrian?” Cheerilee asked.
“Oh, that. I understand him either way so I don't even notice any more, but it's a pretty stupid reason... He... “Twilight began.
KRACK-A-THOOOOM!!!
Twilight and Cheerilee yelped as the whole tree shook, the scrabble tiles flying every where as the sonic boom shook the entire town.
After a moment or two Twilight stormed over to the door flinging it open to scream up into the sky.
“DAMNIT DASH, PRINCE!! WE SAID NOT TO FLY THAT THING OVER THE TOWN!!!!” Twilight screeched in a booming Royal Canterlot Voice at the THUNDERHEAD circling in the sky.
Well, if nothing else we know without a doubt those two are at the very least friends. Whether anything will evolve any farther will be interesting

Jynx is interesting in a way, but the audience isn't familiar with her enough to root for her. Saturnia is a villain (not even that. She's a grunt, I think). Trixie represents the hopeful romantic, which people tend to root for. And no one said anything about the picture of Harley Quinn.
9473178
Dash and Prince? Nope , that's a sailed ship. His parents hate it , but she's a Bearer of a element of harmony. and such they have to shut their mouths as all the princesses are rather fond of them.
Oh that’s very I interesting Carl you see-
MOON MOON MOON SOOON SOON SOOON
I am so glad I'm not the only one who thought Pinkie's impression of a snake was disturbing.
9473189
sooooo when's the wedding?
The jumped off the side of a mountain in wingsuits?! NICE!
Also: Equestria has 3D SCRABBLE?! GIMME GIMME GIMME!
So rahs speaking in barks is either to troll people or he is a drama dog and do it to show off
So it's confirmed that Cheerilee and Twilight play 3D Scrabble... I'm afraid to ask what dimensional chess they play...
9473178
Did you not notice the Changelings trying to go for the buffet at a restaurant without an actual buffet at it?
9473318
mostly like 5th i guess, while checkers they go to the 6th
9473318
9473369
as stated in a earlier chapter Twilight sucks at chess , she doesn't play it.
Dammit Dash! I wanted to hear about why Rahs speaks the way he does!
9473467
oh yea,
well next up i think is the wedding, cant wait for it,
9473573
few chapters away yet it's still 'winter' and theres a number of chapters in spring to hit before the wedding.
9473608
guess slice of life storys,
9473187
Saturnia is not just any grunt. She is a Demi-God changeling looking to start her own hive.
So the whole Mare-Do-Well thing is just resolved entirely off camera with little explaination? That's just dissapointing. It was made into this big thing, why would it never be resolved? It feels cheap when everyone just says "oops, sorry" and its done after what happened.
9473189
I wonder if they realize that makes her a higher status partner than any other noble in the realm, royalty excluded. When Twiggles ascends, though...
Dear me. Looks like the Element of Loyalty has corrupted my sweet nephew. At least they didn’t do it above Canterlot.
9473952
To be fair, it's taken several episodes, far longer than it took in Canon.
9474575
And that's the problem! It feels like this sort of thing is becoming a reoccurring thing in the story! If the major conflicts in the story are ignored, dropped, or forgotten in favor of just doing another episode again and again it defeats the purpose of them ever happening in the first place! Its frustrating and honestly makes this story just plain not as good as the prequel, because it feels like the author just isn't putting in the amount of effort and care that made the first one great.
so i think we just got rooster blocked on the half n' half language thing
9473054
My poor curiosity will never recover.
9474706
Twi and AJ sat her down and talked to her. Dash came to flutters and rarity, and only pinkies was kind of a thing that happened and that was after several comments from Dash about not being mad at pinkie any way.
I glossed over a lot of the canon arguments that came up in season 1 too[the slumber party] , like mare do well, because they were stupid the show does that a lot gives a unresolved situation and ends it like a cartoon would, i'm being a bit more realistic but i feel my writing out a 'heart felt apology arc, would only cheapen it , so i off screened it.
. As for any of the plot's i've set up for IC chars or that arn't part of the main canon those will be addressed eventually. Keep in mind i have 8 more seasons 2 movies and what ever the eqg stuff is left to go through plus all my orginal chapters i have planned.
As I did not comment the ending of the previous episode... I vote for the harem ending for Rahs.
9475358
Its not that it needs its very own arc, but that it was never really shown happening. One, maybe two scenes could cover it, but it just going "oh and they made up later" feels like your mind was changed from the thing being important to being inconsequential and the story was never changed to reflect that. If it was such a small thing that they could just fix everything so easily them why did RD react in a way that made it seem her relationahip with the others coukd have been permanently damaged? I seriously don't understand.
9475358
What would a moon dog even turn into through the portal? Also chuckling imagine Rahs vs tirek.
9477480
That would actually end in more of a stalemate than anything. They both eat magic.
9473952
You... Didn't read the other chapters, did you? There was like a whole multi episode arc about dash avoiding the rest of the mane 6 out of anger. How the hell do you miss something that major and say "oh it was resolved off camera."
And, I kind of love these recap episodes. Keep the events mostly the same, and just see the reactions everypony has to them afterwards. Very fun.
Weeeelll, if we go by Word of God/deleted scenes, AJ did get a bite of the cake. There was a scene cut for time of Twilight praising AJ's self control and how great she was for not taking a bite of the cake, only for AJ to break down and admit she did, she was just smart enough to do it after Pinkie passed out and not leave any clues behind.
Hey, lab coat and goggles means this is "FOR SCIENCE" And we all know Twi has some... issues. Which means, this is Mad Science! And as per Maxim 14
Granted, having a living magic garbage disposal helps.
Sweetie... I need you.
Just gotta tease us with Rahs stuff. At least by now it is clear how it works, just not why.
One day perhaps we learn of the reason. My guess he wants to make it difficult for fun.
The Royal Canterlot voice or CAPSLOCK is more common this days

Or the writer finds it easier to be witty when they only have to write the reply.

The Canterlock Voice
I wonder if Prince made Rainbowdash a quicky, since they both like it fast
11150405
Sounds about right.
11033605
Eternal running gag incoming i guess
In one Fimfiction story I read about Pegasus copulation while they fly, I old shee Blue making a air refule manover like that on Rainbow Dash mid flight just for fun.
