Twilight Gets a Puppy
Season 5

It's a Kinda Magic
Season 5 Prologue
[ Canterlot, Cadence's Love Lab, One week after Tirek]
Luna smiled, as she looked at the annoyed Cadence, who sat at the other side of the table being grumpy.
Celestia sat on another side of the table calmly sipping tea.
“Well you seem grumpy.” Celestia pointed out the obvious to Cadence.
“I have not gotten laid in a week.” Cadence growled. “Chryssy has cock blocked me every time. What's worse is Shining managed to logic his way out of any punishment by saying at worst he would have been drained and would have recovered later. He also pointed out that his doing his Guard duty was how we learned Tirek couldn't drain him in the first place and that my part in the plan was far worse.”
“He is a Sparkle.” Luna shrugged.
“Welcome to the dry spell club.”Celestia huffed. “Bitch to me when you have a few hundred years untouched.”
Luna smiled, her time clubbing in disguise had resulted in a number of fun encounters, though unlike her sister she made sure nothing would come of said liaisons. She had enough issue with Sombra and wanted to at least get him to stop hating her before she even considered another foal. Granted after Solomon her interests had shifted more towards mares than stallions so there was no risk there any way.
Luna blinked as Cadence glared at her.
“What?”
“STOP THINKING SEXY THOUGHTS!!” Cadence snapped.
Luna grinned.
“You are simply mad because your choice in the game has lost a large number of points due to the fight.”Luna kept up the grin.” And Trixie is more well regarded by Rahs than the others simply by not getting involved.”
“I am not so sure of that sister. After all from my understanding Rahs has agreed to another date with Sunset. Their third.” Celestia smiled. “ Evidently Sunset's quick thinking was well appreciated by everyone.”
“I certainly appreciate it, if it means Teacup is no longer around. That breezy was terrifying.” Cadence huffed.
“You know not the half of it.” Luna shuddered recalling how the Breezy descaled a dragon in one blow during the migration, and it was not a small dragon. Still it was Seth's own fault for not leaving like he was told.
“There is the chance that Teacup can come back. Twilight reported the gate in the crystal castle can be repowered, though they have not tried it yet.” Celestia offered.
“So about that castle what's going on with it?” Cadence huffed.
“It is quite interesting, there is a massive root structure that runs all the way under Ponyville and acts as a ley line channel, much to the Mayor's annoyance. We have also noticed that it has created it's own warding and it encompasses the entire town, nothing as potent as what Twilight has done, but more than enough to drop insurance rates. The Mayor was quite happy about that.” Luna explained. “We have also taken some of our own budget and purchased the land from the farmer that owned it at a reasonable payout. And with the Mayor's help we have registered the tree castle in the Sparkle's name.”
“Really? The letter I got from Twilight said she wants no part of the castle, it's too Princessy for her.” Celestia frowned.
“Yes we were given that impression as well.”
“Then why give it to Twilight if she doesn't want it?” Cadence asked.
“Three reasons. The first is the obvious signs that the tree is meant to be hers. The very shape of it resembling her cutie mark, and the flag being her cutie mark that formed along with the tree. Then there was how it was created though a rainbow magic spell that seemed empowered by the Tir Na Nog.”
“Something all of them hated, particularly Rahs with all the rainbow colors he was turned.” Celestia offered.
“Yes well, it seems Harmony managed to find a way to speed up the process of the gates moving and simply added it to the box. We expect the tree knew Tirek might show up again and that Twilight and her friends would be the ones to stop him.”
“Probably had the Fates nesting in it's branches again.” Celestia offered.
“That is where they were rumored to be first created at, and White in it's roots.” Cadence sighed.
“I still say White is a joke of Discords.” Celestia offered.
“And you're a joke of Law. OOOOooooooooooooo.”Dscord's voice called out.
The trio of alicorns looked around for the chaos spirit before they went back to their talk as they didn't see him.
“The third thing is that the crystal tree told me that it was there for Twilight and the Sparkles.” Luna added.
“It told you?” Cadence asked.
“Yes.” Luna nodded.
“How would a tree tell you something?” Celestia frowned.” You didn't gain a plant portfolio did you?”
“Not at all, we are still focused on coffee.” Luna offered. “But did you really expect the child of Harmony not to be able to talk?”
“The box was a seed?” Celestia offered after a moment of consideration.
“That makes far more sense than I like.” Cadence offered.
“Oh, changing the topic, did Chrysalis get the thank you gift I sent her for her help with Tirek?” Celestia questioned taking another sip of her tea.
“Yes and it's driving her mad trying to figure out how it's going to kill her.” Cadence frowned.
[Crystal Empire]
Chrysalis frowned as she stared at the statue that sat in a secure area of the Crystal Hive. It was a simple thing really, just a marble work depicting a generic changeling and a generic unicorn shaking hooves with a brass plaque commemorating the effort put forth by the changeling race to help Equestria and her citizens during the rampage of Tirek.
Chrysalis had hidden it and run every scan she knew over the damn thing and come up with nothing.
This thing had been a gift from Celestia and she was certain it was going to explode or come to life and murder her, but she had no idea what the heck was going to set it off or what it would do.
“Tell me your secrets, you damned rock!?!” Chrysalis screamed.
Luna frowned looking at her sister, then back to Cadence before shaking her head.
“There's no trap on it, is there?” Luna sighed as Celestia burst out laughing like a mad mare.
Posting FIRST comment here to avoid all the drama of last time. Sorry/ not sorry Zib.
Hail the new chapter! Let's do this!
*throws brownies in all directions and engages the cotton-candy mashine*
We are the first to recognize the new greatness that will be this season
And that is how you mess with someone. Well played Celestia.
You forgot to put discord twice hes gonna be annoyed
10653532
hmmm?
Nothing like deliberately making chrissy paranoid to one up there fued
10653533
(its a discords meta and would be annoyed his name was down once in the description)
One dream, one hope. One prize, one goal?
10653546
One golden glance of what should be
It's a kind of magic.... puns
I like trollestia.
I just randomly checked, sw in the new column, in the second newest slot, This. I need to get caught up on season 4... augh.
Are you sure... about that? Last I heard, Jynx just gained an ultra-plus-point added to her mortal status.
I like the cover art. Does it mean this season Twilight might has a better mood than the last one? Also, why does Shining's horn burnt like that?
Ah! The Seventy Sixth Rule of Acquisition!
...what? Did you really think I was going to tell you what it was? Go do your homework!
10653586
It's the scar from when he OP'd and crushed the Dreadnaught in the Crystal Empire arc. that's a permanent scar around his horn his fur is black around it.
lol i love it ty
It's here!!!
10653559
Then strap yourself in.
It is a WILD ride.
Starlight ain't gonna know what hit her lol
This is the absolute best game between these two.
10653548
There can be only one!
10653590
Quite appropriate!
Nice work
10653548
can next season be cartoons from the 80/90s puns? there's certainly enough of them to get the material.
Not since Granny Smith's mom, eh?
Paranoia, the gift that keeps on giving
10653678
Is it really paranoia when some one IS out to get you?
10653707
It is when you remember both you and the person out to get you are immortal. :P
In Equiestria, Life Of Brian was a very short movie about a balloon animal?
Still, Mary Poppins Approach. No wonder she got out of the country when offered, she would end up having to handle the CMC?
Paranoia, Fear, Confusion. Let your enemies spend all their efforts feeding themselves, and take ease in their panic?
10653707
That cover art looks awesome
10653678 10653707 10653712
“The Computer is your friend. The Computer wants you to be happy. Happiness is mandatory. Failure to be happy is treason. Treason is punishable by summary execution. Have a nice daycycle!”
10653734 By the stars that game was nuts. Particularly when you have a evil DM.
10653593
Oh, geeze. Was that permanent? I missed that. (I do like how put-upon he looks in that drawing, though. )
Ahem he’s ready for another wild right
And the glorious madness continues! Yes!
Celestia has the best trolls.
Not bad, I liked this.
Can't wait to see Jinx's, most certainly because of Rhas, dramatic reveal!
Seth the Scaleless, huh?
10653973
Some one caught it.
The best kind of trap to use against a paranoid person is no trap at all
Hello, old reader here. I stopped reading after NMM's return, and I'm considering picking this up again. I have a question for other readers: In seasons 2, 3, and 4, did Rahs have a meaningful impact at the climax of the plot?
Do you plan on writing about Season 9? Because I hope not.
havent even started reading yet but i love the pic shining is just like im so done with this
10654194
yes
Okay. Best art of Rahs yet.
Getting a real gang vibe from that pic. :)
buckle up it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Oh, Celestia, you evil old mare, you . . .

1) No, that was the Gala, which he didn't go to.
2) No, he was incapacitated for most of it.
3) Yes he did.
4) He was a good portion of the reason they won the fight.
Now for the big fights at the start of the seasons:
1) Yes, albeit inadvertently.
2) There's a reason Discord doesn't mess with the Sparkles much. He's it.
3) Yes, although not him alone.
4) He didn't play much of a role here.
10654194
I'm needing to catch up myself (currently mid season 2). But Rahs is a major part of the CHAOS that is the Sparkle siblings (Move over CMC, you've got serious competition!).
Hmm, so Namepending has already contacted Luna in the dream realm? I wonder if a wider awareness of the castle's sapience will have repercussions down the line...
As for Starlight? I almost feel sorry for her...
