[Golden Oaks Library, start of winter]
“Spike!!! Are you ready to go yet!?” Twilight screamed out.
“Hold onto your wings, I'm getting there. I'm the whole reason you've even have an excuse to head to the Empire any way so chill.” Spike huffed digging through a box in his room.“Where did I put that steam lands book?”
“You are not the only reason we are going. Sure you might have gotten invited to be a guest at the first convention they are holding in the new hall they built, but I still have yet to head up there and see Moon Dancer and Sunburst's foal!” Twilight huffed grabbing a book off the shelf in Spike's room, the cover showing a number of steam powered carts trying to smash and destroy each other in some sort of death race.
“That's just an excuse, you could have gone up any time.” Spike huffed taking the book and packing it away with a number of small toy carts that had been modified.” Ugh I wish I had more time with this. My Guard army for Battle Mallet isn't even fully painted yet, and every one plays Lunar Marines so I don't want to bring them.”
“SPIKE!” Twilight snapped.
“Yeah, yeah, I know, I should have got this done yesterday, and I would have if you didn't have me running around helping with your research, so this is your fault.”Spike huffed.
“Woof!” Rahs snapped leaning his head in the door and glaring at the two arguing.
“FINE! I'll skip the Battle Mallet army but so help me if they have a decent tourney for it...” Spike huffed shouldering a large bag.
Rahs rolled his eyes and stepped out of the doorway as his siblings stormed out of Spike's room. Blakeney chittered at them from one of his shoulders, and Peewee shook his head as he perched on the other.
“Don't you take that tone with me mister!” Spike huffed at the raccoon.
“Right Rahs here's a list of everything I want you to take care of while we're gone, it should only be a few days...” Twilight began.
“Woof!” Rahs snapped.
“I'm aware you have a date tomorrow, but if you start now you should have plenty of time before then.”Twilight stated passing him a list as tall as Rahs was.
Rahs glanced at the list before handing it to Peewee, who set it on fire.
“And that is why I wrote it in triplicate and fire proofed the other ones.” Twilight stated floating a new list over to her brother.
Rahs frowned and handed it to Blakeney, who mauled it a bit, got annoyed it wasn't food ,then bunched it all up and threw it at Twilight.
“The last copy is magically bound to the fridge.” Twilight stated flatly.
Rahs rolled his eyes.
“TWILIGHT LET'S GO!”Spike bellowed from downstairs. “ Applejack and the Crusaders are already here.”
“Don't you dare tell me to hurry up buster!” Twilight snapped back.” Look Rahs, at the very least try to get those books we got from the old castle sorted. There was some odd magic in that crate and I'd rather you check to see if it's dangerous.”
Rahs sighed.” Woof.”
“Thanks.” Twilight smiled as the pair headed downstairs.
Applejack and Rarity stood off to the side watching the crusaders bounce around excitedly with Spike. Firefly stood apart from the others, though he did have a big smile on his face as well.
“I can't believe we got out of school for this!”Scootaloo cheered.
“Don't fergit Miss Cheerilee did give you assignments because of that.” Applejack stated adjusting her bag over her shoulder.
“Who even holds a convention starting on Sunday night?” Rarity sighed.
“With the Equestria games prep going on it was the only time they could set one up. Besides with how hard the foals in the Crystal Empire have been going in school since their return to catch up with the rest of Equestria, their winter and summer breaks are a bit longer. Though they don't get summers off like the usual equestrian schools. They just run them year round.” Twilight explained.
“Year round school? Bleh!” Applebloom exclaimed.
Twilight huffed at the comment though, she didn't respond to Applebloom's disgust.
“Are you sure you have this Darling, they can be a hoofful.” Rarity frowned.”Plus they are going to miss the Ponyville foal fair.”
“PASS.” The crusaders and Spike all chimed in.
“Seriously a gaming convention in the Crystal Empire where Spike is a guest of honor, or a local street faire with puppets.” Sweetiebelle scoffed. “No contest which is better.”
“Yes, well, given the reaction to my expertly crafted puppet theater, I don't think there really will be much of a puppet show.” Rarity sighed.
“It's okay Rarity. I thought the theater looked good.” Sweeteibelle offered.”Maybe you can make something else?”
“Thank you Sweetie, I suppose I could... Oh, forget it. I'd never have something finished in time! “Rarity wailed.” I wanted to leave my creative mark on the fair, and I failed miserably! And that makes me miserable!”
The others watched Rarity carry on a moment before Rahs held up a score card with a 2 on it. Blakeney gave her a three at least and Peewee accidentally set his card on fire before the number could be seen.
“Oh please who are you to judge!?” Rarity huffed.
Rahs grinned snapping his fingers and making his portfolio appear which made Rarity pout more.
“Alright lets go! We need to get to the train!” Spike stated stumbling out the door with the others following along leaving Rarity, Twilight, and Rahs behind.
“Twilight do you mind if I look through your books, perhaps something will strike my fancy.” Rarity sighed.
“Go ahead, this is a library after all.” Twilight offered glancing to the door at Spike's shout. “Rahs make sure you check her out properly if she finds something.”
“Pfft.” Rahs hissed. Waving a claw before heading back upstairs.
“Arrgh ...”Twilight growled glaring after her brother.
“Darling it's fine, go enjoy yourself and tell Moon Dancer I said hello.” Rarity waved a hoof as Twilight headed out.
“ Thanks Rarity. Good luck.”Twilight offered closing the door behind her.
The white mare let out a sigh as she moved along the bookshelves, looking over titles. She pulled out a few books here and there flipping through them before putting them back as she slowly circled around the library. Nothing was striking her.
This was terrible.
Making her way along the shelves closer to the reception desk she came to a open crate sitting behind the desk half covered with a tarp.
“What's this?” Rarity considered.
Pushing the tarp aside a little Rarity blinked looking down at the crate full of old books.
“Oh, it seems Twilight got another shipment from the workers at Whinnysor.” Rarity exclaimed lifting a few books up.”Hmm perhaps something from the past might spark an idea.”
Rarity rummaged through the crate before finding an odd gray book with a circle of of spikespoking out of the cover design.
“Very tacky.” Rarity scoffed at the cover flipping it open to look over a few pages. “Inspiration manifestation?”
Rarity hummed, her eyes flashing to reptilian slits as her shadow shifted and danced at her hooves as she read over the page. “This may be exactly what I need.”
When did Sunburst and Moondancer have a foal? when did they become a couple or even meet?
Helps to have a list of puns on hand before you begin the season. Saves a little time that way.
That was quick
There's always Eldeer and Nekorons.
Yeah but the other two don't get to use that reasoning.
I was wondering when Nightmarity would make a full appearance.

Moon Dancer and Sunburst hooked up all the way back in season 1.It was why she invented the anti alicorn shield.
As for the foal in the Crystal Empire arc Sunburst made a dad joke and Moon Dancer was a bit worried it really WAS a dad joke.
It was.
Peewee doesn't, Blankenly is Rahs' pet so yes he does.
Im wondering if things are going to get so annoying that Rahs ends up being a true Drama Queen, and singing Inuendo.
I wonder if the game convention will have a particular board game called OGRE in it, that is if the equivalewnt of kickstarter crowd funding is already going. Especially if Fred Fish is around.
Rarities running away with That book? No wonder Rahs didnt realise or he wouldve shelved the whole episode immediately?
The god of mother-bucking Theater
Why do I get the feeling that Nightmare Rarity is trying to get Rahs to be in love with her? Also Starlight would be mad as all hell to miss her change to hook up with Sunburst
Nice
So a Rahs, Nightmare Rarity, and Sombra arc.
This is going to be a lot of fun!
If they don't get summer off how can their summer break be longer...
I'm sure this won't be a problem at all...
Hmm, IIRC there was an episode where Rarity found a cursed book in the old castle that had her turning everything into gold, so this may very well be some variation on that, though it probably won't be a problem for a couple of days since Tuesday is Ponyville's day.
Yep, looks like its the same book, though the curse may manifest differently since this world isn't the same as canon MLP.

year round school has a small break in summer but it's not the summer vacation most of us americans know at best a couple of weeks rather than from june to august.
10316563
Wait, if Rarity can goes full Nightmare. Would Luna also adopt her as another sister? I know there would be some that draw a conclusion the reason Rarity transform into Nightmare is because she is Luna's relative. (and make her adoption of Sweetie a lot easier to understand)
Hmmm... maybe there can be Nightmare Family Reunion in the future?
10316563
Or Da Coltz! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!
Er...... did I miss something? I mean, I know they're a couple here, but damn, that soon?
Starlight's gonna be pissed.

DATZ DA HOGZ TO YOU! GET IM BOARZ! WAAAAAAAGGH!!
10317131
I'll admit, I didn't think of that.
10317095
I admit, I forgot about the dad joke.
10316577
thanks.
Ah, a warhammer reference.
You know, if we assume the Sensei aren't sterile, then mathematically Emps has to be an ancestor of literally every human in the Imperium.
am i the only one who think Spike should become the God of Games,
10316591
OGRE??? Gah, there's a blast from the past. I remember playing that quite a lot one Summer even if I was often trounced by my friends (as the OGRE or the military trying to stop it). I can even recall the port of OGRE to the Atari computer-- it was clumsy at best.
Tho the most often played microgame was Car Wars. We played the heck outta that one... making cars, making tracks, buying the expansions, playing the (clumsy) port to the Atari computer (again). Heh, even tried a play-by-email campaign once back in the BBS days. It lasted about a dozen turns before everyone gave up because it took too long to play over the course of two months.

If Spike became God Of Games, he would become the Gamer, and his Current build would give him Pun-Pun as a starter?
"...Battle Mallet..."
Wheeeeeze
Whoa whoa whoa, when did that happen?!
Way to go Sunburst
Although I am kinda sad we didn't get to read about it I bet Moondancer would be adorable preggers

They were dating all the way back in season one. During the Crystal Empire Arc Sunburst was accused of making a 'Dad' joke and turns out there was a reason for it. My seasons occupy at least 1 year each.
10334330
Yes but still, it would have been adorable filler, hahah
The God of Theater
Again, while I have issues at times with how well the story deals with canon events at times, the way these three interact is never not amazing and just nails the sibling feel.
And speaking of canon, very nice way of getting these events moving given the changes. And Rarity, hes the god of theatrics, you neex to step up your game to impress him at this point.
Yay, nerd baby!
And yikes, some people have obviously been skipping sections of the story.
Cursed book? O mare...
Poor Rarity... Things can only go wrong for her
Maybe another one of Starswirl bloody books to screw others over...
Another great chapter and I still say spike is going to wind up being that the god of games
Odd I remember the next chapter as catalyst to Rarity changing, guess she changed before.
Spike would be a great story based and gambling god
