My collection of short stories or idea's that are pretty much oneshots. (maybe) Involving humans being in Equestria. Some may be dark, some may even have fluff! Romance? Drama? Sadness!? I don't really know I just made this to clear up my idea document while feeding you guys some short stories for your daily life.

Chapters (9)
Comments ( 11 )

This chapter was really good. Felt inspired then I read the author's note and it made sense. Think you can spin this into its own series and make it all failed attempts but masterful (i.e. lucky) escapes? (Then suddenly framed for a few murders he didn't commit).

*Celestia and Luna deliver 15,000,000 bits.*
Celestia: "Here's your fee, Mr. Baxin. As promised."
Baxin: "whu--? :twilightoops:"
Luna: "You performed admirably, Mr. Baxin. You managed to achieve what we could never do. You finally got Twilight to accept the idea of having guards to protect her. :trollestia:"
Baxin: "Wait--you hired me to do a fake kill?:rainbowderp:"
Celestia: "No, only real attempts on her life could ever convince her that her life was in danger. That bolt from the blue at the café was the clincher. Not that it would have killed her."
Baxin: "Only it turned out I missed her heart!"
Luna: "No, you nailed her. What you failed to realize is that alicorns are truly unkillable--or at least only creatures as powerful as ourselves, like Tirek or Discord, could ever hope to do it. Mere mortals like yourself? Forget it."
Celestia: "You should see all the tricks and traps of our old playgrounds scattered about the land. We hear about archeologists nosing about them periodically and laugh at the conclusions they're always putting forward into their theories."
Baxin: "So--you both only wanted Princess Sparkle to think her life was in danger...?"
Celestia & Luna: "Yep."
Baxin: "So that she would hire guards...?"
Celestia & Luna: "Yep."
Baxin: "But--if you're all unkillable--then why the guards...?"
*Celestia & Luna wiggle tails*
Celestia & Luna: "Eye candy. :trollestia:"
Baxin: ":twilightoops::twilightangry2::facehoof:"
Baxin: "So, our business is done?"
Luna: "Not quite. There's still the matter of your attempted assassination of Princess Twilight Sparkle."
Baxin: "I see. So, you're here to kill the assassin?"
Luna: "Oh, heavens forbid, nothing so crude nor cruel!"
Celestia: "We don't have capital punishment in Equestria. No, you'll be banished for 1000 years to Tartarus... or as a statue... or to the moon. I'll let you choose which one, at least."
Luna: "I suggest you pick the moon. At least you'll have plenty of privacy while you're stuck there, unlike Tartarus. Nor will you have centuries of pigeon droppings to scrape off when we unpetrify you if you should choose the statue."
Celestia: "Oh, and a 15,000,000 bit fine. That's the standard penalty for regicide--or rather--attempted regicide."
Luna: "True--I still owe 13,465,983 bits to pay off for my attempt back then."
Baxin: "The-- 15,000,000 bits you just paid me to kill your former student...? Won't that cause a discrepancy in your treasury? If I'm paying the fine, it should show up as an income."
Celestia: "Funny you should mention that..."
Luna: "By a happy and unrelated coincidence, there was a 15,000,000 bit expenditure to increase national security just the other day."
Baxin: "What if I appeal to a higher court and testify as to our conversation?"
Celestia: "Good luck with that. Luna and I are the Supreme Court of Equestria."
Baxin: ":twilightoops: ... You're good."
Celestia: "One doesn't rule a principality for over a thousand years without picking up a few things.:trollestia:"
Luna: "After all, those skills we have were what led us to find out about your--skills--and then hire you in the first place."
Baxin: "*sigh* I only wish I could've--done better. As an agent for your government."
Luna: "Well--there is one other option..."
*Celestia & Luna look at each other* :trixieshiftright::trixieshiftleft:
Celestia & Luna: "You can run."
*Baxin immediately leaps out the window*
Luna: "Oh, look here, dear sister! Someone left all these bits behind!"
Celestia: "Yes, so much money. Abandoned."
Luna: "Queen Chrysalis was right. It will be so much more fun to be the prey animal hunting the predator!"
*Celestia and Luna reads through the open diary, then leave with the bag of bits.*
Celestia: "He left his diary behind. He'll be back for it. Our work here is done."
Guard: "Should we leave a detachment behind to capture him when he returns?"
Celestia: "No. Considering how entertaining it was to read about all his adventures of how he tried to kill Twilight, We're looking forward to reading the new entries he's going to put in it after we finally get around to capturing him.... :trollestia:"

It would be interesting to see what Twilight's reaction would be to finally hear about it was some strange "Faust" putting him up to this.... :twilightoops:

Oddly enough, ICR. :rainbowderp:

Vasily should consider taking pages from both "Escape from Alcatraz" and "Shawshank Redemption".
Rubber rafts made from raincoats.... :trixieshiftleft: and rock collecting.... :trixieshiftright:
