Twilight Gets a Puppy
Season 4
By TDR
Flounder to the Finish.
Prologue
[Ponyville, Golden Oaks Library. Two weeks after the return from the Oneiroi]
“Look you've got the thrum's power at point eight three five, that's three orders of power bigger than it needs to be.”
“Of course it's bigger, you set it too low, this is deific power, your setting might ruffle their fur at best.”
“And yours might set it on fire.”
“MMMM, fire.”
“Seriously?!”
“It's a joke Sparkle, contain the calamity that is your mammeries.”
“I understood that reference.”
“At least some pony gets some of them!”
Spike and Rahs glanced up from their books to look at the two egg heads arguing over Twilight's notes.
It had been some time since Twilight had someone who could talk shop with her. Sunset might not have been as into everything as Twilight and Moon Dancer were, but in her areas of expertise she could keep up with the new goddess of magic fairly easily.
The orange mare's foray into Blood magic was a lot more complex than Twilight had expected. While it could indeed be a shortcut to power, that was clearly for the rookies and idiots. At it's core blood magic was a amplification style of magic, but that was hardly it's only use. An expert in the school could do things that would make a skilled surgeon whimper with how useless their doctorate was. Turned inward a blood mages magic could alter the very cells of their body if need be, permanently if one was not careful. Sunset's change in the human world was based off this theory, but she had sacrificed a good bit of the power she drew from the Element of Harmony to make sure the effect was an ongoing enchantment rather than a full change, which was why Rahs was able to break it.
Had Sunset gone the other route she would have remained a demon when she was spit out, just a powerless one.
And Sunset thought she looked too damn good to change herself permanently like that.
Still this meant that Sunset's skill in transformation magic was exactly what Twilight needed to help her figure out the Familiar spell to get it to include ponies. Despite testing it once or twice, the spell wouldn't stick for long.
Still even with Sunset's help this was slow going, particularly since Applejack was working on getting Sunset adjusted to the farm's schedule, which was going about as well as one would expect from a night owl like Sunset.
And of course there were other problems too.
“Hey Rahs!?” Sunset called out as the pair took a small break, ”What are you doing Saturday?”
“Woof?”Rahs asked.
“He asked why?” Spike offered.
“I got that, I might not understand him but I'm trying to learn the language, Pinkie's not helpful and it's Fluttershy's talent. I tried asking Luna and she just laughed about it. I bet she's teaching Trixie though.” Sunset snorted.
“Soo why?” Spike asked again.
“Look are you busy or not?” Sunset sighed.
Rahs considered a moment looking worried then shook his head.
“Great, you want to have a date? There's something coming up in Canterlot that I think would be a decent start to a relationship with a first date, particularly with you in mind.” Sunset smirked.
“Ummm.” Spike offered as Rahs just stared.
“Why are you even interested in my brother?”Twilight grumbled. “The only encounter you had with him was setting him on fire and getting nearly eaten.”
“Spike set him on fire, not me, I blasted him into the wall, and of course he ate me as payback, there was a bit of another encounter too, but that's better left unsaid.” Sunset grinned as Rahs turned red, hiding his face in his book. “Besides it's a first date, those are hardly meant to be serious and simply to see if it might be of interest to do something more. I figured since I was interested and the others are clearly idiots to have waited this long, I'd ask him out. I figure Applejack might get up the nerve to do so as well if some one else did first.”Sunset explained. “As for why, let's just say my tastes have never been for ponies, humans and minotaur are kinda boring, Diamond Dogs a bit too handicap mentally, and griffons are on the banned list for me due to something mom did, that leaves a nice little niche that you fit into along with Nox-cal, but I've yet to meet one of them that held my interest.”
“That.... that is surprisingly logical.” Twilight pointed out.” Though I am reassessing my thoughts on you due to the obvious mental handicap you have being interested in him.”
Any further conversation was stopped by a knock at the door.
Rahs put down the couch he was going to fling at his sister with a grumble as she got up to answer the door.
“So is that a yes a no?” Sunset ignored the exchange and threat of violence, focusing on Rahs. After a moment or two he nodded. Maybe he would luck out and Sunset would lose interest with the date, or it might spur the others to back off. He really didn't want to hurt any of them. It also didn't hurt that Sunset didn't smell like a pony. She smelled like the waves of heat from a hot stone in the summer. It was rather odd, but nice.
“Oh, hello Ditsy. Mails early today.” Twilight stated.
“Hey, yeah this isn't standard mail, it's a special delivery from the Crystal Empire to deliver to the direct hooves of a one Princess Twilight Tuesday Sparkle.” Ditsy offered.
“What?” Twilight asked as Sunset noticed both Spike and Rahs suddenly paying full attention to Twilight and the mail mare, both with barely repressed grins.
Sunset wisely stepped back out of the firing line.
“ One, I'm not a Princess, two my name is not Twilight Tuesday Sparkle.” Twilight frowned.
“Says right here on this legal form that we got at the post office that it is. And there's only one princess in Ponyville..... not counting Ole Greg, but he's a bit odd.” Ditsy shrugged, hoofing over the letter before taking off to return to her route.
“My middle name isn't Tuesday.” Twilight protested looking at the letter.
“It might be.” Spike offered.
“I think I would know my own middle na...... what did you do?” Twilight whirled on her brothers as Sunset retreated to the kitchen.
“Well remember that whole situation where you annoyed the crap out of us by throwing us out of the house when we complained about you and Mac making too much noise rather than just increasing the silence spells power?” Spike offered.
“What did you do?” Twilight demanded her voice dripping with malice.
“Went to Mayor Mare and had your name officially changed to reflect your new princessieness.” Spike grinned.
“That's not a word.” Twilight ground her teeth.
“Woof.” Rahs added.
“Right, it is now. Royal decree, signed by you while you were hunting coffee. They plan to add it into the dictionary next print.” Spike chuckled.
“That.... “ Twilight growled before shaking her head and glaring at them, her mane starting to spark. Sunset pushed the kitchen table over and hid behind it before she started raising shield spells.“Besides that, you can't change my name without me being present to sign off on it. I know I wasn't tired enough before my coffee to have walked down to town hall to sign off on it.”
“Well actually you can if you're a legal parent or guardian and given mom named Rahs our legal guardian when we first moved here because I was too young and she was afraid you'd spend all our bits on books.” Spike smirked and fist bumped Rahs who had a equally wide grin.”Given that that never got changed, Rahs was legally able to change it. So you're Princess Twilight Tuesday Sparkle now. Nice and legally.”
The resulting explosion sent both of them soaring across Ponyville to crash land at the Apple's farm taking out the barn that had been rebuilt after the whale fell on it.
It was described by both of them later as 'Still worth it.'
I have no words except to say "I have no words"
The logics for and from BOTH Rahs and Sunnyset are valid
In Ponyville either get smart like this or become part of the collateral
I missed SOMETHING somewhere, time to reread a few chapters
This was a fun chapter, lol poor Princess Twilight Tuesday Sparkle.
Sunset got Ponyville savvy. Girl learns quick!
Good to know she's actually facing Rhas as an adult romantic interest. The others better be careful, she might win the race if she just keeps it like that.
I’m betting this also happened:
Applejack: Spike. Rahs.
Spike and Rahs: yes?
Applejack: You both know I love you like family, and I know your sister is responsible for destroying the barn this month…
Rahs: Woof?
Applejack: …but I have just one simple question. What are you two STILL doing in my Apple Cellar?
I have many words but they are just out of reach for my tired brain. (GO SUNNY GO)
hmm, is this a different barn or did the Barn made out of the top of the Crystal Palace that crash landed on the farm get destroyed?
I can't remember if your version of Sweet Apple Acres has multiple barns or not.
Some corrections
mare's
shortcut
skilled
farm's
decree
Apple's
lol
So wait, her NAME is now Princess and it's not a title? And being named after part of her portfolio... Well that just makes logical sense.
Some things just are.
Hell yeah.
lol Princess Twilght Tuesday Sparkle.
Do I really want to know what Celestia did... meh kinda
10126132
She threw all the griffon nobles out of Equestria because of Lockheed. She doesn't want any of them trying to get back in by getting Sunset to take romantic interest in them.
10126138
Oh ok thx
Sunset nopes out of the blast radius. Sunset is smart horse.
10126076
Blueblood's first name is Prince. He's actually a duke going by title in the puppyverse.
Why do I see AJ dragging them back in her witch from and a bill for twilight now
This space intentionally left blank.
On the upside for Sunset, she's smart enough to know when Twilight's going to let rip, but on the downside, she barricaded herself in the kitchen, rather than going out the window, which would obviously be the better choice safety-wise.
10126168
With both Sunset and Applejack after Rahs, I have to wonder how putting the two together is actually oging to work.
10126223
Sunset's an adrenaline junkie. She's smart enough to use a shield and deflect the brunt of it, and addicted enough to ride out the rest with a grin.
So did I
You have learned well
...but clearly not well enough, seeing as you're still in the building
Why are you still here?
Wait, does this mean Rahs is now Prince Rahs Friday Sparkle?
10126187
This space unintentionally left blank by accident.
i personal want at the end appleajck yell "dam it twilight, you better get your behind overhere to help rebuild my barn"
Care to share with the less genre savvy among us?
Let me guess...the whale was Crusader related?
10126747
Hellsing ultimate abridged.
10126497
unlikely unless he changed it to that himself.
10115339
Well, while that isn't entirely true, the whole Equestria Girls movies thing was meh. I haven't liked much of anything after the Tirek episode(s?). The show quality just kinda........flopped after that. Felt like Hasbro was tryna toy grab or something. At least Sunset has a decent personality after the first movie.
Kek
it's just a Tuesday
ALL HAIL PRINCESS TWILIGHT TUESDAY SPARKLE!
Alright, so we learned not to take people without a connection to the Dreamrealm, into the Dreamrealm, but on the plus side, Luna can now have fun checking out Shining Armors dreams. Or take one look and run screaming from them. So, time for more hijinks!
Sunset and Twilight working on a project? Yeah, there's going to be fire with that. Good banter though.
Said areas being anything with the word 'incendiary' in it?
Okay, that too. So, working on that familiar spell?
That's magic in general towards nearly any profession.
And not that sexy a demon either. Now Midnight Sparkle...... woof!
Agreed!
Called it!
How big is the pile of melted alarm clocks?
Well, will give Shimmy-Shims points for directness. Things might have cleared up by now if the others had just ponies up and asked immediately rather then be all coy about it. Also points for not just going right to "Want to rut me senseless with that beast you're hiding in those pants?"
Did she find some kinky, inter-species sex club?
Hey, I really do not get the whole vore thing... but if that's your kink... have fun I guess.
Can't fault her there.
I also didn't notice Dragons on that banned list. Or Yaks. Or Draconequii, if you REALLY want to piss your mom off.
Hey, she's immortal now, you can be as rough as you want!
Huh... interesting.
Plus her magic tastes like Bacon!
Pffffffft
Trollestia, or Discord? Or Sibling Shenanigans?
Siblings...... sadly you can only kill one of them Twilight.
Agreed!
So, we setting up the Games more with that letter?
10138477
This joke was the whole reason Rahs was put in charge waaaaaaaay back in season 1
10138536
U say celestia is a chess master? She doesn't come 500000000000000 lightyears near ur lvl author that was brilliant and WELL worth the lead up
10138477
Prince Blueblood had that high a GPA?
Damn... Spike is durrable [°-°]/)
Majestic prank ♡
Got to love sibling pranks especially the epic ones
Amazing how even as goddess they owner her on a regular basis...
Was there a pot of petunias as well?
So, Spike's starting to scare me. Both Twilight and Rahs are full-on gods now. Twilight could make dragons her bitch well before her ascension. Yet Spike getting caught up in the newly empowered Twilight and Rahs' brawls doesn't seem to faze him any more than it used to.
I've had in the back of my head for a while reading this that Spike's probably headed towards taking over for Bleu when she retires, but honestly, I'm not sure he'll need the power boost. Being bonded to Twilight and Rahs, and having to survive their style of sibling interaction, appears to be toughening him up just fine on its own.
[ಥ﹏ಥ]👍 Beautyful prank!
11115439
Yes, actually.
Rahs is immortal, Spike isbonly dragon demigod levels of durable. Spike sure has balls to pull that off with Rahs.
Wonder if Twilight remembers to change it up when she becomes of age
Shows that even god level entities can be pranked
I know this reference, but for the life of me I can't recall what it's from.
EDIT: Right. Hellsing Ultimate Abridged. Should have known that considering I just watched it again last week.
Also. Worth it.
