Twilight Gets a Puppy
Season 4
By TDR
Do Piranha Dream of Magic Squid?
Prologue
[Ponyville Library]
“Soooo wait, you want to do what now?” Twilight asked with Rahs and Spike both also staring at the Moon Princess.
The Sparkles, as well as the other former Element bearers, were scatted about the main room of the Library, mostly just hanging out and chatting about the week. A rare bit of down time for them as of late it seemed, one they were making the most of as they talked about the plans for the year.
Rarity was also trying to subtly question Twilight how the date with Big Mac went. Spike stopped the line of questioning with a growl and pointed out that he and Rahs had gone up to Canterlot that night for a reason after Twilight kicked them out for complaining about the noise, before anything even happened.
Rainbow Dash was rereading the complete Daring Do collection for the second or third time in expectation of the next book coming out soon. It seemed Twilight had convinced her to read them after she enjoyed the Daring Do film. After her success in convincing Dash Spike had pointed out that Twilight had been seen rubbing her hooves together and muttering something about her power growing.
Applejack was stalking Rahs, and pretending she wasn't, though thus far she hadn't quite gathered the nerve to ask him out, nor even what to ask him out to do.
Spike, Twilight, and Rahs lived there, so of course they were there. Rahs was lounging and Spike had been playing with Peewee.
Pinkie Pie had noticed there was a gathering, declared it a party, and brought Fluttershy and food.
And then Princess Luna had shown up.
Which leads back to now.
“We said we would like to take Rahs to the Oneiroi. He is the god of the Moon Dogs now and it is time he met his people. We have done some research in the books recovered from the old castle and have reworked the old spells we used to use to ferry supplies into the Oneiroi. We can easily come back the same way.” Luna explained.
“Woof?” Rahs tilted his head ears perking.
“We are quite sure that we can bring you back and forth at this point. We may even be able to teach you how to do so yourself in time. You had no connection to the Oneiroi at all before you ascended, now your very portfolio has two such connections making the transference not only possible, but fairly easy. Had we tried this before, what ever Twilight used to pull you free would have left you here, if not disrupted the spell entirely. We made a few tests not long after we were freed with some of your shed fur and it did not come along with us no matter what we tried. We would also like Applejack to come along. We believe a trip to the source of her.... alteration might be beneficial.” Luna explained.” Not to mention we wish to see if she might even revert to something closer to a moon dog once returned to the source.”
“Well...... Alright.” Applejack agreed with a shrug. “Guess I'm good tah go.”
“You realize that I'll be going as well.” Twilight stated.
“Ditto.” Spike nodded.
“Of course. The spell we have recovered was to bring supplies. A few more will hardly matter. We regret forgetting how to do so, but when the Moon Dogs became self sufficient , there was no need of the spell so it was forgotten.” Luna nodded. ”Besides Cosma and Blink wish to meet their son's adopted relatives, Shining Armor, and your parents shall also be coming along.”
“Sounds cool, I'm in.” Rainbow Dash shrugged.
“If it's not to much trouble I would love to go to see the moon dogs, oh especially the puppies.” Fluttershy squeed. ”Rahs looked so cute in those images Mrs. Sparkle showed us.
Rahs grumbled burying his face in his paws.
“I can hold a coming home party!” Pinkie Pie smiled.
“I must say I am a little curious myself Princess.” Rarity considered. “If it is not to much trouble I would like to tag along.”
“We did say the spell is used to ferry supplies, and we doubt any of you weigh the several tons we once used to transport. It will be no trouble.”Luna offered. “Now if our sister opted to tag along.....”
“So when do we go?” Spike asked.
“We were considering immediately, though we understand that that is not feasible for most, so a week from today. Thursday, our sister can deal with what ever issues Cloudsdale develops on her own this time.” Luna proclaimed.
The others started discussing things rapidly at that point with Twilight asking a thousand questions and Spike already starting a list for her. Pinkie was discussing parties, Dash was running on another innuendo tangent, Applejack was staring at Dash and Fluttershy as the two bounced sayings off each other, and Rarity was considering what to wear.
Rahs however sat back with a frown. Something about this bothered him. Sure he was nervous about meeting his real parents, though that wasn't it. There was a building dread he couldn't identify that was almost instinctual. It wasn't CMC sense or Sparkle Sibling Shenanigan sense, it was something else and it had him on edge about the whole idea of this trip.
the great trouble with the story is that it is always interesting and leaves me wanting more. good work
Every Moon Dog the second Rahs shows up: “The Prince God Shar Sparkle. Behold. Behold!
The Prince God Shar Sparkle. Behold. Behold.”
Twilight: “And this is why I didn’t want to be a princess.”
I sense a whole Cloudsdale apperaing in the Dreamrealm!
International datelines! Somewhere it is Friday already
As well as being 5 PM, let's get drunk
Aha, so Cloudsdale got the Thursday slot for mayhem day of the week.
The feeling you are having is that someone or something will F*** up hard and you guys have to run for you're lives
Me: * looks at update time of latest chapter * oh neat power pacu was on feb 27 so an updaye should be soon * reads chapters 1-pacu... At the end of power pacu notices the next button is available * * squeeing intensifies *
They need to check better the date... Thursday is when something can happen
*looks at the title*
hmmm....
*reads the chapter*
Thank you for not doing the horrible horribly executed and horribly thought out self-harm story about the Tantabus that they went for in the show (unless you are, in which case I hope you do better than the show did).
This might actually be fun and interesting.

Tuesdays in Ponyville, Fridays in Canterlot, so, not on this world it seems. Not saying that nothing will go wrong, with the Sparkles and the Element Bearers, something is bound to go wrong sooner or later, but it won't be because of the day.
Let's see. I see possible Harem Shenanigans Happening. Mainly because as they will be meeting Rahs's Biological Parents, and they are the ones that specifically wanted grandpups, and Applejack is going, there is no way in Tartarus Trixie, Saturnia, Jynx and Sunset are going to miss out on this and allow Applejack such an advantage over them
10110589
They are going to another dimension, just like you say Tuesday in Ponyville and Friday in Canterlot... What if Thursday is 'the day' in there?
Going on a trip using purely magical means by a spell that hasnt even been looked at in decades or even centuaries, accompanied by all sorts of overpowered reality breakers, and the Sparkles?
Im suprised the Dazzlings havent been gaining power from the dimentional bleedover.

Sunday would be better then, as Trotkyo already has that day claimed.
I wonder what will fuck up
10110773
I've thought of ONE possibility... what are the odds that they don't consider "This is a horrible idea" and bring Sombra with them? After all, Rarity is his current parole officer, so he might have to go with her when she travels.
Not Cadance?
Then it would hit max capacity faster than Celestia's hoof hits Chryssie in the face
That would probably be your Parental Embarrassment sense going off due to the imminent meeting of your adoptive family and your birth family
i am going to need more popcorn.

Or they could arrange for a temporary substitute, which itself offers plenty of story opportunities and/or amusing hijinks, like if they get Maohk to do it, or find someone who is convinced that Sombra is a twelve-year-old filly.
Is Tantabus still a thing in this story? Or it is just one of the rouge native in Oneiroi?
Better get this over with ASAP rather than later.
10110828
She will invite herself with the other suitors to keep things fair, calling it
10110765
But then the poor foals could miss the Sunday morning cartoon and not learn many basic things about how not to be a villain.
No one think about the poor foals?
Oh, buuurn.
Snrrrk!
Well, going by how Luna is in this 'verse, guessing no Tantabus, though could still be about some sort of dream realm monster. Also, it's a year early.
Oh, I see how it is, Spike needs to get his entire room soundproofed because he snores, but you can't put up a bit of soundproofing around YOUR room.
Well...... really good date then.
Well, she is the Goddess of Books now, so... more ponies actively reading books likely does help her out.
Pinkie gonna Pinkie
All right, so are getting something dream related at least. Though can he even go there? Aren't all of them cut off from that realm? Though, be very awkward if the God of Moon Dogs can't get to the realm the Moon Dogs live in.
There is a very, very wide gap between 'Quite certain' and 'it will work' How many items/beings have you done this with?
Fair enough, but does he? He's not sharing the 'Dream' portfolio with Luna, so whatever that means for him it seems he might not have a link to the same dreamscape Luna has. Though the Moon Dog one is still valid.
I guess that falls under 'why not' as being a good enough reason.
Also worth it.
That was more otr less a given. Either by accident as a result of the link, because they need to do to the link, or just because there was no way they weren't going to come along. A. Everything goes good and they get the chance to maybe see some puppy pictures of Rahs to use as sibling blackmail, Twilight gets to explore a new realm FOR SCIENCE! And Spike gets some new ideas for his O&O games. If things go wrong, they can start blowing shit up right away versus having to blow up even more stuff later to fix it.
Well...... all the Sparkles.... in one place...... and Luna isn't expecting things to go massively wrong?
Getting her to leave might be tricky......
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn!
Good planning, and alright, so the God/ess of Thursday's is going to start out as a Pegasus.
So all of them are tagging along, alright this should be fun, though doesn't that kind of leave Rarity and RD at a disadvantage, given they are the only two who can't understand Moon Dog?
"Alright! Bring in the giant 4! Make sure it's casting a nice long shadow!"
So yeah, fun trip, can't wait to see how it goes horribly wrong.
This migh come up in a chap i havnt read yet but is rahs portfolio of dreams more like people hopes and aspiration than the kind luna drals with?
With every book nerd I grow stronger!
Fat joke... Sweet
Magnificent chapter adding lore and more.
Overall magnificent worldbuilding.
Powerlevels are bullshit
im...confused as hell, i love this don't get me wrong, but why is a 5th season episode in the season 4 timeline??? Im not complaining, im just very very confused about that
10937672
I needed to switch some episodes around to fit certain things in
10929640
Dude. We get it. You think power levels are bullshit. Stop.
This is one of the awesome 100% self made chapters. One of the best and entertaining. Reason enough to re-reading from Season 1 to 6
11003297
Powerlevels are Horseshit?
Ha-HAAA! Rahs has good instincts! His god status and his general attractive looks will have all singel Moon bitches coming for a litter request
Can Moon Dogs get fat from eating to mutch dream magic?
