It's a dangerous business, putting words to paper. You write a sentence and, if you don't keep your hoof, there's no telling where you might be swept off to...

Twilight needs to pick up light bulbs. All of her friends decide to tag along. Should be an easy trip, right?

Nope. Turns out nopony can handle going to this Home Depot-esque store.

What did Sunbutt do to get herself perm-banned from the store?

LMAO. Poor Twilight. It was supposed to be a peaceful shopping trip yet all of her friends and her former teacher ruined it all in one day.

Possible outcome:
Twilight( to Applejack, RD, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie): As punishment for your reckless behavior in that store, you are all temporarily taxed at a double rate for all of your businesses.
"TAXES??!!!" Every pony shrieked in unison.
"They'll be sent directly to my bank account from your gross income until it is enough for me to pay for all the damages caused in that store!!!" Twilight continued in anger. "Until then, you might as think about what you have all done!!"
"Uh oh?!" Celestia gasped in horror.
"And besides, I owe their manager a really big reimbursement because of you imbeciles!!!"

Great story!

Will Twilight be shopping for a hammer next?

*shudder*

"Don't worry," said Celestia. "I bought a multi-pack of light bulbs, so you can have one of mine."

"Oh, thank goodness," said Twilight with a deep huff of frustration. "You can't believe how much this means... Wait a minute. Is this some kind of joke?" She looked at the giant head-sized lightbulb that Celestia floated over to her. "A terawatt bulb? That's insane! You could light all of Equestria with a bulb this--"

Her eyes slowly tracked up to the sun above, then back down to Her Royal Highness, Princess of the Sun, who was passing a bag containing some smaller boxes over to her sister. "No."

"Oh, good," said Luna with her nose in the bag. "You got the twinkly kind. And enough to make three or four new constellations, too. Thank you, dearest sister."

LOL poor Twilight

Yes! This is what I needed!

I'd imagine Celestia would've been the Karen to end all managers.

I'm convinced you work at a home depot.

Very silly fun, bravo.

:pinkiegasp:
I cannot begin to imagine how long it took you to write all that.

Now this is fun for the whole family! Sweetness, adorableness, craziness, absolutely everything just put in and mixed for one heck of a great resulting story! Awesome! Hope ya didn't mind, but I made a lil' reading on this fic of yours! :D

Audio Linky!: https://youtu.be/fAyHl8oOK_M

(I don't mean to offend anyone with this comment in any way!)

As someone who works in a hardware store, I can't help but sympathize for those employees. This is especially the case because I'm a janitor in a hardware store, and as a janitor, I'd be the one who had to clean that mess up. Okay, everyone would clean it up, but I'd be in charge of cleaning the most unpleasant parts. This is in addition to the normal duties of cleaning the bathrooms, too.

Omygosh really?! I'm so honored! :pinkiegasp:

Darn. I went to watch/listen and it hasn't premiered yet :fluttercry:

But I will definitely be checking that out. :pinkiehappy:

Because the prior link to the song was insufficiently equine.

Another great one:

I really think you should put the

Inspired by this post/meme.

in a authors note at the end of the fic, it kinda spoils some of the jokes if ya look at it beforehand.


P.S.-

Noted. Didn't think of that.

10416438

Something that made an employee cry. Probably with a trauma to add as well. :rainbowlaugh:

you forgot the full bridge rectifiers.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaat :twilightoops:

10416479
Think about it for us. Or we'll have to think it for you.

... Who knows what depraved horrors our mind might bring upon you? :pinkiecrazy: :pinkiecrazy: :pinkiecrazy:

At least the Crusaders didn't find the automatic circumcisers.

Fillies don't need cigar cutters, after all.

Alondro is welcome in all stores, for he is perfectly perfect in every way.

Except for that ONE store... it knows which one it is! :twilightangry2:

There were more characters in the meme so we need a part two where twilight sends the young 6 to get those light bulbs and almost the same thing happen but smolder actually buys the bulbs

10417656
I think I know what celestia did... It involves the toilets.

10416438
Maybe she did something to one of the employees that convinced their manager to sue her big time.

Such unreasonable hilarity. Thank you for this! :rainbowlaugh:

Fun fact: Al didn't make up the tool name. They really are used for cigars.

And sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar. :)

I am so glad I’m not the only person who immediately thought of that.
