Mockingbirb


A pony of mystery in the darkness. Or I forgot to take the lens cap off. (They/them is fine.)

Twilight's new invention helps Scootaloo and Apple Bloom with their family lives. It works exactly as designed...if not as expected.

I thank Brumby_Run and Tipper for prereading. :rainbowkiss:
Also, special thanks to both of them for taking the trouble to put in well over a decade studying Commonwealth dialects, to be better prepared to help with this sort of thing. :twilightsmile:

(Any problems remaining in the story are, of course, my fault.) :twilightsmile:

But I thought Celestia farted helium, due to her connection to the sun...

Delightful bit of goofy fun. Thank you for it.

I love hitting them with the shovel again and again until they fall apart, and making them go 'splat!'"

DOUBLE TAP!

Actually, that would make her farts about 75% hydrogen.

The ending doesn’t really make sense given the context of the rest of the story as all ponies are still alive.

That's kind of the point. Until the accidental raygun strike, Twilight had no idea that those four ponies had very recently died in an accident involving nitrous oxide and a blowtorch.
But frankly, your perspective is still worth sharing, because it lets me know that I have not successfully communicated that point to every reader.

…but that would raise even further questions, like why would Celestia be there, as she isn’t a biological parent.
And if Celestia was somehow one of Twilight’s parents, why are both Night Light Velvet there?

The questions really keep coming, don't they? Why does Snap Shutter have his "Australian-style bush hat?" The hat probably didn't contribute any genetic material to Scootaloo's conception. And why does Bright Mac still have the amputated timberwolf tail in this mouth? It's almost like each use of the deorphanizer follows the same general rule, that extra stuff in the parents' vicinity can be yoinked along with the rescued parents...especially if it might be funny.

Considering it included Pinkie (with a strap-on) it may not work on a "biological" side of the equation and more on friends and family concepts or it pulls anyone included in the herd at any point in time. And that quartet should be thankful for that.

Good thing there was no Sunset around. If Celly is her mother this gun would pull A LOT of ponies back to life.
