“Wuff.” Rahs pointed out to the waiter.
The waiter for his part only shifted his gaze to the pink mare that accompanied the Diamond Dog, raising one eyebrow.
“I agree, we didn’t order any appetizers.” Pinkie Pie stated.
“That is the meal.” The waiter sighed this was hardly the first time that had been brought up.
“Where?”
“There.” he gestured.
“Under the plate?” Pinkie blinked, lifting up the plate.
“No miss, on the plate.” The waiter sighed, that joke was getting old too.
“I thought that was a stain from a bad dishwasher.” The Guard with them pointed out, the waiter’s face impassive as he had heard that far too often as well.
Rarity frowned as well, though she was unsure if it was due to the portions or the way the others were acting. For the moment she remained quiet, she had been to a few posh places that served food like this, and it made little sense to her then either.
“This isn’t even a mouthful, with what you are asking price wise you could feed a squad for a week. Decent stuff too, not the K-4 meal bars either.” The Guard huffed before blinking then closing his mouth looking to Rarity. “I’m sorry Miss Rarity I shouldn’t complain when you’re paying like this, but …”
“No, it’s fine Dew Leaf. I wasn’t expecting extreme upper class show dining in midtown.” Rarity sighed looking up at the waiter. “Still I am rather disappointed at it, particularly with no warning and a supposed three star rating.”
The waiter sighed, a common thing with him it seemed. “The Boss has us doing it this way so we can even get the three star rating. The head chef doesn’t like it either, but no one comes into a unrated place anymore, or any where with less than three stars. That new food critic is all anyone talks about or will listen too.”
Rahs frowned at that. “Bork.”
“I have to agree with him dear, no offense to you but this has been quite the disappointment, do pass that on to your manager and inform him that, two beans and a splash of mustard, do not a four hundred bit meal make.” Rarity huffed.” You may take the plates back, we are done here.”
“There is the matter of the bill…” the waiter stated, looking at the Guard with them, he never expected tips anymore so he didn’t try to be nice as often.” Dine and Dash is a crime…”
“Good thing we didn’t have anything to dine on then.” The Guard responded meeting the waiter’s stare with his own, and a Ponyville Guard was not going to blink first, even a rookie. “And I’m willing to bet there’s an old regulation around that marks this sort of ‘meal’ as highway robbery.”
“Noted sir…..”the waiter sighed again, though he hardly cared, he still got paid even if the owner suffered.

Bright Mac and Big Mac stood on a rise looking over the southern fields, the ‘smaller’ stallion regarding the layout and the yield so far with interest.
“New layout then?”
“Eeyup.”
“ Still low magic though?”
“Nothing on tha crops.”
“Just tha gear.”
“Eeyup.”
“Seasonal help?”
“Not needed it yet. Might not anytime soon.”
“You gonna marry that mare?”
Big Mac blinked turning to glare down at his father who was worrying a strand of wheat in his mouth. The elder Mac looked up at the younger draconic looking one.
“Well?”
“Maybe.”
“Maybe?”
“Complicated.”
“Don’t see how with what yah did fer her and what she did fer you.”
“Maw and her brothers.”
“Don’t worry bout Pear, and her brothers seemed alright.”
Big Mac shrugged.
“Yah want her, go fer it. Git her afore some pony else does.”
“Don’t got tah worry much about that.”
“Oh?”
“She’s got a type.” Big Mac grinned, showing his fangs.
“Ah one of those sorts.” Bright Mac nodded. ”How’s the east field faring, still got tha durn bats?”
“Eenope.”
[Canterlot]
“That is the sixth place that is exactly the same, with the same over priced food, with small portions, and the exact same decor.” Rarity huffed. “Where is the originality, the quality, what is supposed to stand out to make one place more appealing than another?”
“And where can we go to get actual food?” Pinkie Pie whined.
“Not sure if there is a regulation for it Private, but I do admit it does seem like highway robbery.” Sergeant Nightsky offered after Private Dew Leaf filled her in on the situation when she returned. ”I know it wouldn’t fly in Ponyville or Lionheart, but I’m not familiar enough with Canterlot’s set of rules and laws to be sure.”
“Wuff.” Rahs stated sniffing the air.
“WHERE!?” Pinkie Pie demanded.
“What?” Sergeant Nightsky asked.
“Rahs says he smells something that is not the same mustard heavy mess that all these other places produce.” Rarity offered. “Shall we?”
The Guards, and Rarity quickly followed after Pinkie And Rahs.
[ Sweet Apple Acres]
“Mare, you really should have calmed down before then.”
Pear Butter paused from where she was looking for Applebloom. Her gaze swung over the hay bales nearby before spotting Sunset on the other side of her leaning against a tree. Pear Butter raised an eyebrow at the oddly deep voice that came out of the mare’s mouth , though Sunset shook her head and pointed a hoof down.
Pear turned her head back and looked down, spying a large white rabbit in a red vest staring up at her.
“What?” Pear asked.
“Sunset will ask me to show up here yesterday, so here I will be then.” White shrugged. “She seems to think that you had trouble with the time displacement you will have.”
“Ah read tha booklet.”
“But do you understand it?” Sunset added.
“Ah understand I was pulled away from my foals fer years and didn’t get a chance to watch any of them grow up or git their cutie marks. Applebloom doesn’t even recognize me.” Pear huffed. ”Why couldn’t we have been left in place once they rescued us?”
“Because if they left you there, everything would have been changed.” White added. “The timelines in which you two live have been counted by the pawful, when the ones where you die will are to be counted in the near infinite. The Sparkles cheated this by saving you and letting you die. Just as I will expect from them.”
“What’s that got to do with the price of carrots in Prance?” Pear Butter questioned.
“Had you not died your eldest daughter never would have left the farm and seen the rain boom. That chain of events spiraled into saving the world in countless timelines. Even the timelines she didn’t leave the key element was that you and your husband will be dead. That grief spurred her into other things. Not to say there have not been or will not be timelines where you lived and she did the same or where you were killed and she didn’t, but the majority involve your death forcing her to change something.” White tried to explain better. “ If you had stayed where you were, nothing that will happen would have happened.”
“Ah don’t follow but ah ain’t arguing with a talking time bunny.” Pear sighed.
“Ehh, good enough.” White shrugged.
“Then you need to realize your foals have grown up and stop badgering them like you are.” Sunset stated.
Pear glared at Sunset, then smiled a little.
“Clearly you ain’t had foals of yer own yet despite being oldern me.”
“Not for lack of trying, getting into Rahs’ pants is easy, doing it while he’s still in them too is a little harder.” Sunset shrugged.
“Too much information that will be.” White sighed shaking his head.
“Right. Ah will admit ah’m ham hoofing Applebloom, but Big Mac’s doing jus what ah expect.” Pear offered
“Ehh?” Sunset perked her ears up
“Big Mac as a foal was tha sort that when ah told him tah do something or Bright told him tah do something, he’d go to tha other parent and see if they would agree with the path he wanted. “Pear smirked. “Ah’m all for him and a Princess hooking up, but ah’ve already seen he’s being hesitant and shy, so, while ah play tha disapproving parent, Bright’s gonna nudge him into proposing.”
Sunset stared as White nodded. ”Yes, that worked when it will. But I will have suggested easing off a little.”
“Honestly ah don’t even mind tha dragon that much, seems like tha smart one of those three, but seems the same trick doesn’t work tha same way on Applebloom as it does Big Mac. But ah don’t know tha drake beyond what little bit’s in tha pamphlet. Honestly ah’m more worried about her friends Sweetiebelle an Scootaloo than him.”
“That is what we call common sense.” White offered.
“You’re coming off as speciest.” Sunset huffed.
“Is that a word?”
“It will have been.” White nodded.
“Hmm ah ken see how yah might think that, but did yah see me having any issue with that Kitsune running tha place we went out tah eat, or Applebloom’s teacher? We ain’t ever been picky on who we sell apples too if they have tha bits. Shoot, my daughters first colt friend was a zebra from that turnip farm outsidea town. Bad break up though , caught tha colt playing patty cake with a nother filly. Terrible thing fer a five year old.”
“Okay that’s something I’m going to have to ask about next time I need to embarrass her.” Sunset shrugged “Well what about Rahs?”
“Oh him ah don’t like. “
“What? Why?” Sunset questioned.
“Last four years of mai life have been with hostile diamond dogs running around stealing and hurting folks while they try to kill each other. Tah me he’s just a bigger one of them. Plus the fact he’s got six girls after him and he won’t choose. He’s either an indecisive wimp, or a Casanova type playing yah all. That mai daughters made friends with tha biggest dang Diamond Dog ah ever seen in order tah team up tah go after this one male, ain’t helping his case. “Pear Butter stated. “Ain’t nothing wrong with those herding folks, but this is gitting a little weird.”
“Rahs is not like that.” Sunset snapped.
“Ah call it like ah see it, and yer not much better teaming up with another mare or bug or changeling whatever, tah try an fight my daughter over him.” Pear Butter smirked. “It ain’t like he speaks Equish long enough fer anyone but mai girl and his kin tah even know what he’s saying.”
“There will also be Pinkie Pie and Rarity who understood him.” White offered.
“A nightmare, and a mare with a Nightmare in her.” Pear Butter glanced down at the rabbit. “ That don’t help his case either.”
Sunset glared and rubbed her temples with a hoof.
“This conversation did not go the way I expected.”
“It will go exactly how I expected though.” White nodded with a smile.

Sunset, Pear is still adjusting. She will not be happy to see her older daughter can turn into a dog too. You can't just undo what she went through with hostile dogs.
Well that went well. Now when will Big Mac pop the question?
Pear just annoyed with assenine canines?
I have to agree with most of what Pear Butter said. Not the part where she compared Rahs to a diamond dog, but the fact that he's either being indecisive or he's stringing the six girls along and either way, he's not being fair to them. If he's toying with them for the sake of drama, then he's a terrible person. If he's indecisive, then he's still terrible. I'm waiting for the point where the girls' patience runs out and they all get together to force Rahs to make a decision. Whatever he decides, the girls can finally get on with their lives.
Either way, the longer this proverbial high school harem anime arc lasts, the less respect I will have for the moon dog.
I found this description concerning - yet fitting. Still, White should mention Fluttershy and Luna too.
Holy Shit... I know White is a fictional character but i hope never to cross him... I rather cope with a Pinkie Pie messing with me than a timelord-ish Bunny/Rabbit or whatever...
Rahs problem is even if he give them the cutest puppys in the history of drama ever, he can't be equaly engaged with them. Sooo... Unless Rahs pulls a Naruto and is going for Duplicates that are him, he is in trouble...
And the idea is finally planted in one of the six, but will he realize it and take the bait.
11238781
It is not so simpel... He is a god so his offspring will be imortal and raising a mortal is already a lifetime commitment.
Than you have mortals, demigods and actualy gods after him and everyone would see his trouble.
Remember the old Diamond Dog god that loved to give Luna a hard time? Basicly that with every female he will not chose...
Also while Puppys are cute as can be, do you want to risk a repeat of Luna and Sombra?
That might be very mutch was Rahs fears the most.
His own blood hating him. It is a dramatic cliche...
Offspring:
-"Daddy never give me enough attention"
-"Daddy never give me space to become my own"
-"Daddy never give me enough love"
-"Daddy practicaly drownd me in love"
(Unless a Changeling, that is a bad thing)
And so on... Him being the Drama God will make his life hell...
Ah, the old reverse psychology. It won't work on Applebloom though. At least Pear will lay off a bit.
The quest for food in Canterlot is what has me interested though!
11238781
Incedisiveness is sort of expected. Even discounting those with whom he has no prior connection (Saturnia, Jynx, Sunset, Ara), that still leaves having to pick between Trixie (one of his oldest friends outside of his own family) and Applejack (whom he respects, probably feels sorry for a bit, and shares species with). Jynx can probably also be added in, since she's already admitted to being happy with a harem setup to begin with.
Wait... Who is Pinkie and who is Rarity?
11238803
This is...a surprisingly good point. Twilight may be more right than she truly thought when calling his drama powers evil. And it has been seen in the past that they tend to kick in exactly when he wouldn't want them to...
11238820
pinky=nightmare rareity=nightmare in the pony.
I'm going to say what everyone is thinking about the cover art: "Yummy~."
11238803
I do admit that Rahs is between a rock and a hard place, but it still doesn't make it right to play with the feelings of six females. If it is as you say, then this would be, in stage terms, delaying the next act because the playwright is afraid of what is going to happen. The audience won't understand and will turn their aggression on the playwright, turning him into a laughing stock and potentially having his actresses quit on him.
In this example, Rahs is the playwright and the girls are the actresses. The audience is everyone else watching this train wreck.
Either Rahs makes a decision and everyone is satisfied, or he doesn't and becomes a joke to everyone, including his own race.
I imagine writing for White has to be a headache.
11238872
"Rahs makes a decision and everyone is satisfied" is not likely, since each of the girls' interests (apart from perhaps Jynx, who's okay with a harem) are mutually exclusive. And remember, three of them are demi-gods, so there's a number of deities who have skin in the game.
11238897
Or you just write once normally, and come back afterwards to change the tenses at random.
Well, we all know Rahs is an indecisive wimp. Glad to see one of his future mother in laws can see it.
Now if only the universe can make his drama powers even more dramatic.
11239115
The mother in laws just all need to get together and make the most dramatic situation that would force him to choose and it his drama sense and stuff would make him.
11239107
I didn't say it was hard, just headache inducing.
11239135
Oh here’s a better thought: all his future mother-in-laws AND father in laws show up in Ponyville at the same time.
The mother in laws are all glaring at him with revolvers.
The father in laws all have shotguns.
Rahs remembers he revealed to at least one of his suitors he is an immortal god.
It’s Moon Dog season.
I see a major run around with pear butter and she need to get it through her head that Rah's is not a diamond dog and maybe clear up the hate for diamond dogs by having a talk with Jynx and getting to understand that side of the pack though bright Mac seem to do a good job
The bunny making rah choose. Ha. But then it wouldn’t be dramatic. Gotta feeling this thread is going till the end of the series
Gotta love White, he’s no nonsense, but does not let of the gas when it comes to snark.
Heh. Always love whites dialogue.
11238843
Kinda meh here, I prefer Rahs and his washboard abs myself.
🏳️🌈
White, you great oafed charlatan ogre of a troll!
Why can you never speak plainly!?
XD
Ah, more general chaos. Time to see what the deal is with the terrible three star resteraunts, while several ponies try to get Pear to simmer down a little. Xd
11238781
I do have to agree Rahs is being a little ridiculous at this point, which is quite fitting for his character. I'm curious to see what kind of character development comes out of this mess.
11239229
Duck season. :P
There are storys about Pony in war, in space, in battlemechs, between Cuddlebugs (Changelings) in Fimfiction. But this storys sure is a class on it's own
So if Rahs will have many children and Twilight helps raising them...
So will Twilight gets a Puppy?
This little section between father and son? That's some life goals/beautiful relationshipright there.
11239229
Well, the fathers-in-law would all have shotguns except for Discord, who would, of course, have a bazooka-shaped bubble blower. The bubbles would act more like Splatoon 2's bubble blower special and explode, but only with the sound of a clown's nose and a shower of poison joke solution.
Clever mares...
Yeah... can't top my in detail 'why it isn't that simple'.
Rahs is boned no matter what, also no matter the fun he has, the 'negative' drama will be a given.
The only winning move for Rahs is to not play, unfortunately everyone is playing him hard if he plays along or not at all.
I now no longer wonder why the Greek gods lived separated on a mountain away from mortals:
All - the - drama - all - the - gods - forsaken - time!
