These random problems really do give life to the fic
Catching cure by surprise, that was not expected but fun... As always great chapter to read
Best part of a Monday right here.

100% agree
I've heard stories and seen TV shows about squatters doing things like this... Hurts to see for a lot of them, and is rightly unfair. Though it looks like in this case the 'squatter' was actually partly a victim as well. She played her cards quite terribly though (thank you Cure, for making her realize that as well).
I think the worst I've seen is a show my parents were watching. I can't remember what it was called, but there was this guy who went around and basically acted like a decent dude, got himself a girl, then moved in. After a month or so of staying there, legally he was another tenant.
And then of course, he started acting like a psycho. Eventually after a long legal process he'd get kicked out and start the cycle anew.
It's been a while since I saw it, but if I recall the girls in the show couldn't get him to leave, so they ended up having to leave themselves. However, since the rental was in their (the girls) name, they were the ones that had to continue paying while the guy basically did absolutely nothing.
Absolutely sucks that some places allow this, to be honest. Yet those laws that allow this exist to protect actual legal tenants, so it really really sucks that people abuse them to do things like this.
I could not imagine being in a situation like this.
Good chapter as always!
Hopefully that mare and foal will make a comeback and be nice about things further on.
And it was at this moment that Cure began hatching a plan...
Cure Wave is excused signed Prince Serpentus.
Lol
awesome chapter as always and now he even invented buckball
its actually funny to think that he still is almost 9 years old and no pony is even raising an eyebrow of him taking charche in a situation like that
So if this mare was tricked I should think this scam pony better find a nice rock to hide under since he has no idea the alicorn he just screwed over.
(I'd say it was probably Flim or Flam but those two aren't born yet)

Maybe somepony further up their family tree? Wouldn't surprise me if the whole family is a bunch of con artists
So, what are the odds that this is a test and or lesson of patience from the big boss or some of her underlings? Would it not be naive to think this is happening just by change?

11614620
What about Deeds parents? They’re referred to as con artists… but they’re not really local, and if they were, I’d think they would come say hello to the family
Great work as always LFOD, already read through twice!
I know that Edward/Cure has watched some episodes... But did he watch all seasons? Were there some episodes he might have missed? And if he read some comics, does he believe them to be canon?
Buckball is only apparent pretty deep into FiM's life. Sounds like a sport that was made up during Twilight's life time
11614744
Like the story says he looked up a lot of it online to keep up with the kids watching it with theam wean thay revisited hem
Awesome as always.
I look forward to the day that Rising Pitch shares her saxophone talent.
Cure can deal with two weeks of school. Pretty sure CSGU will accept him with a poor attendance record. Almost thought Ms. Apple would have put the evidence together when she laid it out during her lecture and realized there might be a connection between Cure and Serpentus…
Invented Buckball… whoops. Timeline. Might want to look into the rights for the inevitable league formation, Cure. Lots of bits in sports.
11614564
Hmmm in the same hoof writing she's spent months grading. I know he could bs it but I'd like to think he wouldn't think of it and turn it in with his own hoof writing.
Oh I just had a delicious thought.
When Cure’s identity as Serpentus is revealed by the press—it will happen a lot sooner than he thinks—it would be hysterical if after everything he has done to protect his identity he just goes out and pulls a Tony Stark.
That's pretty bullshit
OUT loud
on OR off
Drop it WHERE or, or just drop it AT
I don't like how the squatter was handled as while they were presumably tricked (could have faked the documents herself) there isn't any discussion of tracking down who fraudulently sold her the property and seems to be waived off as an impossibility while entirely focusing on how difficult it will be to remove the squatter.
Also the implication that he could be charged for breaking in to his own house.
She broke into his house and refuses to leave.
IIUC even IRL squatters rights don't apply until they've been living there a rather significant length of time or after overstaying a legitimate agreement like say you offered to let a co-worker stay over for a couple weeks and then they refuse to leave.
With cure's personality I'm really surprised he didn't just demand a refund on the house and get a different one and make it the sellers problem. He could and even if it takes him months to get a refund it would still be less hassle as he could move in to another house today especially since they've got all their stuff ready to unpack and even with the offer of another place to stay it doesn't seem to be implied that the squatter has any intention of leaving today.
Then we have the weird letting them stay in one of their other houses as a compromise. Super nice of them but she's been a jerk the entire time and has not once acknowledged that she was scammed.
It seems like a horrible idea to offer her an in at one of their other properties. Even just offering her a 1000 bits to leave would have been a better option.
11614881
Yeah, I’m wondering if info like the “landlords” description or how future “rent” would be delivered happened off screen between the tenant and the guard, perhaps to be shared with us readers in a future conclusion to this matter. Offering 1000 bits is close to what was proposed in the value of rent on their old home, but Cure nixed that until a proper lease document can be written. Maybe Cure and co will be sleeping in their new home in a week or two instead of having to wait months for an eviction to process
11614916
It read to me like that was all the investigation that they were going to do and there was just nothing that could be done about it, thus there would not be a later chapter addressing it...well barring after he becomes crowned at which point one of the first things he'll do is make selling property that isn't yours a crime as it somehow isn't already.
The 1000 bits would at least bring about an immediate end to the occupation part of this issue with no possibility of it being an issue in the future.
Giving her temporary free rent elsewhere just opens them up to her refusing to leave that place and having to spend even more months later having her evicted especially as she will then have a legitimate reason to have actually been there.
I'm going to have to agree with swarm chaser.
The only thing I didn't like was how the squatter was handled.
Especially since there was no mention of going after the individual who essentially sold the same property twice. With Cure's attitude, I thought he would have put a lot of effort in to tracking that pony down, as they are the party completely responsible for the entire situation.
The mother who was taking the shower was being kind of a bitch, but it's most likely she was duped as well. They should be teaming up together to press charges against the culprit.
Moving on...
The interaction with Cure's teacher was funny as hell. I don't laugh out loud much, but that got one out of me. :)
I know he said that he wouldn't follow up on that and just finish out the school year, but it would be really funny if Celestia personally handed in the note.
And Cure accidently inventing buckball... I wonder if he'll try to monetize it. But I don't see him doing that. He may hate paying taxes, but he's not greedy.
But if he did do it:
Cure waltzes into the classroom in his prince disguise, his wings spread wide for all to see, "Good day, everypony!"
Everypony gasps upon seeing the prince, the students then quickly start excitedly whispering to each other as Miss Apple scrambles over to him before performing a hasty bow "My Prince! To what do we owe this great honour of your visit to our humble little school?"
"No need to bow, dear Miss Apple, I am merely here to deliver something on behalf of Sir Cure Wave."
Eyes widening with surprise, she asks "you know of him, your highness?"
"Indeed. Infact he's probably the pony I know most in this world. A remarkable colt, very intelligent, with a bright future ahead of him. A true role model!"
"Um... well... yes, i-i suppose. if you say so."
"I do say so, my dear," the prince replies, shocking the teacher with the knowledge that he had heard her whispering to herself, "and I do believe you're a bit too hard on him. His schedule has him very busy, but his work brings immense joy and happiness to many ponies. So he doesn't have the best attendance record, a small price to pay in my opinion." he says, finishing with a warm smile.
Miss Apple just stands there, unable to say anything, as half of her wishes to argue her side of things, but the other half dare not argue with royalty.
"Aaaanyway," Cure says to move from this awkward silence, "my time is limited." He then reaches under his peytral, retrieving a folded piece of paper. "Here you go" he says as he hoofs it over to her.
"What's this?" she asks as she starts unfolding it and reads.
"I believe you told Cure that if he provided a note from any alicorn, that you would no longer bother him about his attendance. Surely I will suffice?"
Miss Apple stands there, blinking a few times, before what she was asked finally registers "O-oh, y-yes of course, this with be more than enough!"
"Wonderful, well I'll be off now, goodbye Miss Apple."
"Oh, yes of course, goodbye your Highness" she says as she closes the classroom door.
Turning around, the teacher is about to speak to the class, but overhears the muffled voice of the Prince say "damn, that teacher was a looker."
"Miss Apple, are you ok?" one of the young fillys asks, "you're turning bright red."
(can you tell I forgot her 1st name? lol)

Throughout this entire squatting bit, all I could think of was Homer from 1 of the old Tree House of Horrors episodes, "urge to kill rising, rising, lowering, RISING" >.<

"Cure, what have you done? You changed the future!! You've created a time paradox!"
(my brain seems to love making references today lol)

I had no idea how quickly I was approaching the end of this chapter, it just ended for me. With that said, the chapter as a whole was perfectly timed, I merely wasn't paying any mind to how far through the chapter I was.
I can't say I liked how it was overlooked that the squatter could have faked the documents herself. I guess my next question would be: If they could prove the mare did fake the documents, does that change anything regarding the eviction? I would hope so because at that point, she just broke in.
I would be checking to make sure the squatter does not have a history of this.
Swarm Chaser was the first comment I read that pointed this out. I have to agree.
11614818
That... would be so hilarious.
11615328
Cure: “The truth is… <tosses away notecards> I am Serpentus.”
Thanks for the chapter
11614833
Wait, did he use cargo straps on Title?

You know, thinking about it and after reviewing multiple earlier chapters, I wonder if Deed has a sister? There’s very little mention about the family other than his Sire was named “Jackpot”, took off after Cure was born, and plenty of references to cousins. Unless they’re technically “great” or “removed” cousins, like Lucky, the implication may be that Deed (or Vines, them farmer ponies and their large families) have siblings… somepony that took more after the parents than Deed did?
I’m just hoping LFOD is far enough ahead in his writing that any speculation isn’t going to alter the storyline, I know he likes being unpredictable
11615400
Nah, Cure will just use his tree for mass and create a Cure pony puppet to sit in the front row while Prince Serpentus (f’ing autocorrect, that one and Celestia) goes on stage to “dispel the rumors”. Or just gets Heavy as a stand in again like HnH day
11616869
That might be the plan. That might be the setup to get him out of the situation with the press.
However Cure Wave is 8 (soon to be 9) and in that situation will be in a position to drop a variant of one of cinema’s ultimate one liners.
And practicing dropping one liners is something he does for fun with his parents.
Could he pass up that opportunity? As a (more or less) biological Iron Man? Who is very quickly becoming one of the richest ponies in Equestria?
At this point I think we all know the colt well enough to guess what he might do in that situation.
11616934
Ok, you'll get Roman Numerals in your next life and imperial system of measurements.
Next.
What chapter's are the beast to re-read only 5 max??? What ones u like the best
11619661
Dam is the birth mother of the foal
...Darn... What happened to my "Monday Solace"?
I'm writing this more as a welfare check.
You good right? Just technical issues?
Just hope nothing happened. I only have the best wishes for you LFOD.
I sure hope LFOD is just sleeping in!
Hopefully he's still living free and option 2 hasn't come about.

My thoughts exactly.
If I was Cure Wave, I would be relentlessly hunting that ass clown down, akin to a coked out pitbull relentlessly chasing a burglar through the entire neighborhood until he caught him. I really would not stop until I found them and...
Well, let's just say that I personally am not quite as forgiving as what Cure Wave is and that I am a bit more spiteful as well, so yeah...😈
Though about the pony who screwed him, his family and that mare over by illegally renting out the house the way that they did? My bet is it potentially being an ancestor of Flim and Flam that did it.
If it is, then I really hope to everything good and honest that they get busted and have the book thrown at them.
Incredibly hard.
11614563
In all honesty I probably would have told Miss Apple to go polish some "Apples" (innuendo for something else) if she didn't like the fact that I was out of school so much and that it really didn't matter anyway, since everything that she was teaching was stuff that I already knew, I had passed my proficiency test and so I wasn't missing out on anything.
That if she really had that big of a problem with it, then go and take it up with my parents, the guard, the hospital and the Princess herself or suck it up and go plow herself with a cactus.
Miss Apple doing that seriously made me lose respect for her, because the way she acted made it seem as though it was more of a control issue for her, rather than it being about Cure actually missing school.
Because the moment she thought that he sounded even the slightest bit disrespectful or that he wasn't respecting her authority as his teacher ect., then she seemed to get kinda hostile and butthurt about it.
I could be wrong but that was the sense that I got from their interaction anyway.
The irony is killing me. Whhhy
WHhhy have you done this to me?
11614818
Cure: "The truth is..."
extracts wings and horn and changes coat color
Cure: "I am Prince Serpentus"
