Twilight Gets a Puppy
Season 6
By TDR
To Wyrm and Back Again,
part 1
[Mid Summer, Ponyville, One week after the Sparkles and Princess were pulled out of the pie mound, clean up still ongoing.]
To say the town of Ponyville was tense would be an understatement, the Guards were on high alert, the townsfolk keeping to cover when they could and staying home despite there being no real curfew. The Flower Trio hadn't been seen in three days, which annoyed Captain Comet Trail as his second, Lode Stone, hadn't been seen in three days either.
The Sparkles were preparing plans for what might happen based off who they had already dealt with, and any of Celestia's other exs that might be out there.
Chrysalis had volunteered to help with this. Thorax and Kevin were assigned to keep an eye on her, though Kevin was in a corner with his mare friend Maud and both were just silently listening in.
As such a lot of creatures were sitting around the Crystal table waiting, at least those that didn't have a real job, or this WAS their real job.
“Well she did date a griffon at one point, but I'm pretty sure he died a long while back.” Chrysalis considered tapping a hoof to her chin. “And we all know about Grannysmith's mom, so that covers any attack from the Apples. Unless Applebloom gets annoyed again. Seriously kid you know how to pick them. Didn't any one ever warn you away from red heads?”
“No one told me what to do when a red head decided I was hers however.” Spike sighed with a smirk as he kicked back in his chair after a quick look around to make sure Applebloom wasn't there.
“Wuff.” Rahs pointed out, the moon dog had been a bit surprised that Aria had joined them at his session and rather than having taken a seat at the table, had taken a seat in his lap. Usually it was Sunset or Trixie doing that.
“Right. Okay, Bleu did, and her advice was to just roll with it and enjoy it.” Spike admitted.
“Still surprised you're here and not up in the Empire guarding your foal.” Tempest pointed out from another seat near where Starlight sat trying not to be noticed.
“Every so often I need to leave those two on foal duty to remind them they have no idea what the heck they are doing.” Chrysalis smirked, then she frowned. ”Might need to check on them though in case that's the disaster.”
“Going by the network we have set up..” Aria offered waving a Crystal Tablet with her hand as she lay across Rahs' lap in her human form wearing a rather tight pair of what she called jeans and a tank top that showed off her abs. “There's no breaking news or obvious issues in the Empire, Canterlot, Manehatten, Chicagcolt, Wilmingtrot, or Las Pegasus. Nor anything on any of the small towns along the route of the towers that any one is talking about. We made sure to give each of the leaders of all the places connected to a tablet so they could call for aid if need be.”
“That's not a large area.” Starlight added.
“Still wondering why I'm the main link for Ponyville.” Seshat added.
“Cause you're the tallest thing here and we're working on that. Saturnia is dealing with all the legalities of putting the towers in certain areas, and we have a program that runs a network pulse every couple of seconds to ensure everything's working properly.” Aria offered wiggling in Rahs' lap. The moon dog gripping the arm of his chair a little tighter as a result. “The goal is eventual global coverage. We think we'll have that in three years, or at least in the places that want it, and all of the pirate hunting airships. We're already making plans to figure out a way to outfit the Princess Bride as a test ship.”
“Why are you here if you have to do all that still?” Spike asked.
“I'm the head engineer. I get called in to plan and trouble shoot, or yell at people who screw something up.” Aria offered waving the tablet again. ”Technically I'm troubleshooting right now.”
“I need that sort of job.”Chrysalis offered. “Where is everyone else anyway? I figured the other Element Bearers or at least Discord would be here to screw with things.”
“Dad and Sonata are in Atlantis.” Aria offered.” Which is why I didn't include it on the list of places that had no issues.”
“Every pony else has jobs.” Twilight offered.” With everyone on high alert like this, there's numerous checklists for Ponyville to ensure everything's prepared for anything.”
Everyone at the table stared at Twilight.
Twilight huffed. ”I didn't make them. Those check lists were already in place.”
“And she's still salty about it.”
Aria looked up from her tablet at Rahs with an eyebrow raised before looking back at her tablet.
“So what we all just remain at ready until something happens?” Starlight asked.
“Pretty much. At least for the rest of the summer. Once school starts back up we should be good.” Spike offered.
“Should be?” Starlight asked.
“This is Ponyville.” Thorax added.
“Fair enough.” Chrysalis huffed. “So what now we just wait?”
“Well we could play a game.” Spike pointed out.” I've got plenty of them I never get a chance to use.”
“Whatcha got?” Kevin asked.
“For a group this size I figure teams Pictionary or win lose or draw is probably the best.” Spike offered.” Let's see, Chrysalis and … Starlight, are team captains. We'll do round robin team picking.”
After a bit of shuffling and some annoyance at having to move the teams were set.
Starlight wound up with Thorax, Maud, Aria, and Rahs, mostly due to Aria's protests about having to move. Starlight really didn't want to be near Rahs, and really wished she could have gotten Tempest instead or Trixie was here.
Chrysalis got Twilight, Kevin, Tempest, and Spike.
Seshat got to ref.
About twenty minutes later, Rahs and Chrysalis had started a drama off with each other. Kevin and Maud had run off to a spare bedroom. Aria was griping about the drama off. Twilight was still arguing with Spike about how her drawing looked nothing like Orcus' third law. Tempest was drunk, Thorax was knocked out and Starlight was sitting there wishing they had gone to fly kites instead.
Half of Ponyville was also on fire and there were riots as some pony's had a bad reaction to seeing Twilight's 2-d drawings in four dimensions that had some how escaped the paper and were wandering the town.
Seshat had decided to take a nap and ignore everything.
And Saturnia was pissed her mother had eaten all her cereal again.
Ok who let her copy off of Vista/Cloak? Those drawings are supposed to remain in The Family, last I knew.
A very fine slice if life chapter
Abs? Jacked woman last longer
How are they plan to protect towers from hungry dragon nomads?
Aria + Rahs = Seapuppies?

Are those just seals?

... huh... nice 👍
Why does Kevin keep getting roped in with the changelings?
This is going to be intresting.
The range and capacity of a network is given by its connections.
Last I checked, the only thing that can even get close to the thousand foot length of a Zepplin, is a US Main Carrier, and they still dont like embedding microwave phase array runes all over the hull surface and flight deck. Id expect with airships they can weave such runes into the woven spun gem fibres forming the containment balloon?
Aircraft can act as orthogonal dipole MIMO arrays.
Really Rahs? All this excessive destructive power with nothing happening, and you missed one of the greatest movie starting quotes going?
Klytus. Im bored. What plaything do you have for me today.
this will be....interesting, not sure what you will be doing with this as the whole premis of the original is out the door due to earlier changes in the continuity more or less...i will continue my tradition with your stories however of not reading the multipart chapters till all the parts are posted so till then
11784696
this is part one of the episode. and part two is the second episode and the end of the season. Feel free to read this as it's not a multi parter
Okay so the latest episode I have ever watched up to is when rainbow dash finally met her parents. After that I have no clue what the hell's going on and I don't know where we are in the season or in general I'll eat before or after rainbow Dash's parents?
Sounds like a good reason to see if youtube has the episodes. There are a few really good ones that would be amazing to see your take on.
So it's only a typical Tuesday in Ponyville
Hm, I've been wondering how you were going to play this two-parter, right from Selene in Ponyville, all the way back in Season 3, since that where any possibility of Chrysalis being a potential villain ended.
11784618
Not sure, but I think it's because he's helping them get used to walking around without a disguise on.
Kevin is such a nice guy, helping the changelings get used to their new situation like that
Still love that Chryssi is the only deity that is actually good at this whole "being a parent" thing.
As to the rest of the disaster going on.... meh, that's just a normal Tuesday for Ponyville. So, the Sparkles get a summer off without some grand, world threatening disaster showing up? Lull then into a false sense of security for next year?
Seriously every chapter and every new chapter I wind up laughing my ass off. I got to say to the author of this. You have one hell of a talent. Keep making more is all I can say because every single damn season of this is good busting laughter. It's literally on par of funny for the story prank war cuz seriously way too much funny when this is not me saying it's a bad thing. Oh no, no no no no. It's a very good thing. A very very good thing, even the serious moments turning to gut-busting laughter for the sheer ridiculousness of it please keep making more. That's all I can tell and say cuz oh my God the quality is like rebirth of the damned The world of Warcraft MLP crossover in all of its epicness. But this is sheer comedy
I'm actually hoping someone does a reading of this series on YouTube cuz I can only figure they're going to be laughing too hard to even continue reading it. It'll be so funny to watch like almost every two paragraphs you can hear them. Chuckling laughing and like gasping for breath for how ridiculously funny it is unless they have literally no comedy bone in their body
You know, for all the work you put into this I am slightly surprised to see in the notes that you've seen almost nothing of S7. Indeed I was surprised to see how much you missed in the mugguffin season (s4)
I'm impressed you're still chugging along and thank you so much for all the entertainment you've provided!!

They do make excelent performers.

Indeed 👍
Wonder if all of Rahs offspring will be in the theater or general in the show Business?
Maybe one even write successfully some awesome fan fiction

My gods... TDR is Rahs kid, and this is just a retelling of how his parents met! It all makes sense, now!

Now I got a lot to listen to yay!!!! And I will be laughing my ass off as I listen to all the comedy to come
FINNALLY!
Too bad we cannot visualize this on a mere 2-d animation.
Spike the God of games, this has to happen, it's practically written all over the walls at this point
What? No Thread or Threadfall puns?

I did a few Pern puns
Well, with Storm King sending his invasion early, they are actuall ahead of the disasters unless Discord decides to be a pain
