April Fools Chapter
Taking the day off school I was invited for tea with Fluttershy.
“Now Green this is Fluttershy,” said Applejack, “I understand the two of you have met already?”
“In my dreams.” I snarked
Fluttershy’s cottage was about how I expected from watching the show. What the show couldn’t capture was the smell. It didn’t smell of animal droppings, I guess Fluttershy could just tell the animals to do their business outside, but it did smell faintly of the musk of a hundred different animals, and fresh hay from their beddings. Unapologetically so, there was no perfume or air freshener attempting to cover the natural scents.
I glanced at Fluttershy nervously to see if she had taken offence to my joke, but she seemed to have taken it in stride. As with the first time we met, I really didn’t want to give her anxiety. I could see her eyes scanning me, no doubt taking note of my body language to see if she was frightening me. I couldn’t let that happen.
Fluttershy looked at the nervous filly in front of her and her heart broke, the filly was so nervous to meet her that she had frozen up. The idea that she was causing the filly distress made her hide behind her mane.
I could see that I was making Fluttershy distressed with my presence, but I couldn’t leave either, that would be even worse. My heart hurt in my chest as it started to beat faster.
Fluttershy was the Element of Kindness, and while that didn’t give her any freaky kindness powers, she did have a very well developed sense of empathy, and her link to her element only strengthened that. She could sense that her own anxiety was making the filly more anxious, and a feeling was welling in her chest. A familiar feeling.
“Oh dear.” Said fluttershy
I could feel magic building in the air like static electricity. It seemed to correspond with my increasing levels of anxiety. What if I had another magic surge? What if I hurt Fluttershy? The anxiety, and the magic, continued to build until Fluttershy’s element necklace materialised around her neck.
“What tha’ hay is happening?” Asked Applejack
“I don’t know,” said Fluttershy, “But it feels like, what happened before... you know when.”
“No Ah don’t know when,” said Applejack, “Why are ya bein’ cryptic at a time like this? Is it so the re-”
There was a blinding flash as a beam of multicoloured energy came from Fluttershy’s element necklace and collided with my chest.
When I came to I was in the dreamrealm... wait, does that make sense? Does it count as waking up if you’re in a dream? I suppose it doesn’t really matter.
“Luna?” I called out
I was in an endless expanse of blue, interspersed with stars, though somehow there was an invisible surface for me to walk on.
“Luna?” I tried again, “This is a dream right?”
Luna walked out of nowhere to appear right in front of me. It would have been strange if this wasn’t a dream.
“My little pony,” said Luna, “‘tis not a dream, but neither are you awake.”
“Oh,” I said, “So am I like, dead or in a coma or something?”
“Nay,” said Luna, “Thou art a princess, Green.”
“I’m a what?”
“A Princess.”
“A princess?” I said, dumbfounded, “But I’m just Green.”
“Well ‘Just Green’”, said Luna, “Thou art a princess.”
“But I can’t be a princess!” I insisted, “I’m just Green!”
“Well ‘Just Green’”, said Luna, “Thou art a princess.”
“Now see here,” I was starting to get aggravated, “I’m not a fucking princess!”
“Listen you ungrateful brat,” said Luna, “Thou art a princess, and that’s final.”
“Well what if I don’t want to be a bloody princess?” I yelled, “Did you think of that, you overgrown horse?”
Luna sighed.
“Look,” she said, “You’re going to be a fucking princess, you’ll go to Canterlot, you’ll get your fucking crown, and you’re gonna be fuckin’ pleased about it!”
“I’ll take a fuckin’ shit on tha crown.”
“Now Green, we’ve tried that when we were young and we don’t recommend it.” Said Luna, “Trust us, the public skips straight past the symbolic nature of such a gesture and simply focuses on the act of public defecation.”
“Wat.” I think my mind broke a little
"Green. Thou. Art. A. Princess.” Luna pressed her hoof into my chest, “You’ll play your part, whether you like it or not.”
“But... what am I the princess of?”
“Princess of Anxiety.”

Suuuure, lol.
A bit early for an April fools chapter.
well ok this is a sudden ending. to a grate story.
Well ok then
I guess you're from like Australia or New Zealand or something, because it is still the 31 March for most of the world.
Hah, time zones sure can make things interesting sometimes.
One of the better possible outcomes for that particular feedback loop. And I’m pretty sure Twilight already called dibs on that title.
I certanly didn't see that one coming.

I'm only 10 hours into the 31st here.
It was a good story. What'll happen next?
That was really confusing until I read the comments. Times sure are fun.
well this broke the good drama that was made but well ok... sure lets go with this.
I had to double-check my calendar that it wasn't April fools yet. The hell happened?
Edit: unless you're in a different time-zone.
It feels so weird to read April Fools' day stuff on the 31st of March.

this Chapter is a joke right or did the account get hacked because this one chapter feels different from the entire story like someone else wrote it
I'm confused.
No sarcasm. I do love April Fool's.
Though I expect to see some butthurt eventually.
this SHOULD have come out tomorrow
10747610
Consider what time of year it is
Wait but April fools day is tomorrow
Haha picturing Luna and Green with a Scottish accent spazzing out has made my day.

Ah, a fellow aussie
......WELL OK THEN.

So this last chapter is just an April Fools joke?
Bit early. Totally on board for a spin off.
Usually I kinda hate those multiple abrupt perspective switches, but this is very well done, even in a joke chapter.
Oh wait, nevermind. 10747590
Clearly, that means this is a totally legit chapter. My mistake.
Still the 31st where I'm from
This is a joke

I'm a what?!
A lot of people in the comments apparently don't understand how timezones work.
10747720
Everyone knows America is the only *real* country.
It's a day early.
Now that's a funny April Foll's Day joke, I'm especially loving watching all the people, like me, who live on the March 31st side of the international date line, freak out.
