Oh my.

Interesting premise. . . I will watch for more.

:facehoof: Prepare for unilateral TwilightxEveryone shipping. courtesy of her mom. :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

I want to see some TwixDoctor, that would be :pinkiecrazy::derpytongue2::trollestia::facehoof::rainbowlaugh::applejackconfused:

Upvoted and favorited! :twilightsmile:

I think this looks good.This remends me of the story i am writing. In my story, not spoiling details, my OC is forced by his mother who is a higher up in the Equestrian monarchy to go on six "random " dates and they all involve the elements, and they have one thing in common, they all end BADLY!

May Celestia and Luna have mercy on Twilights soul...

Off to a great start! I can't wait to see more :pinkiehappy:

I only have a general plan of future chapters so I can't say with 100%, but, for the moment, I don't plan to use him again.
Unless I get really stuck and need a twist or two.

And her mother is trying to set her up with every single stallion in Equestria.

This oughta be good... :rainbowlaugh:

Heh. Buns in the oven.

Drunk daddy and impulsive mommy? Ohh, lovely shenanigans WILL ensue...

Thank you :twilightsmile:
I hoped fans would notice and like that line.

Drunken Pinkie Pie.

Not sure if hilarious or terrifying...

Yup, mid life crisis all right. All Night Light needs now is a motercycle and it will be complete.

Putting on my Read Later list for when finals are over. :twilightsmile:

Funny, but few noticeable and easy grammar mistakes.

Also snickered sounds better.

Other than that good job.

If Pinkie gets drunk, Ponyville will never be the same.:eeyup:

Oh boy. Methinks this shall be quite entertaining.
Onwards!

oh god, the idea of a drunk pinkie terrifies me :pinkiegasp:

I love the premise, but the explanations are EXTREMELY distracting. You shouldn't have to explain to the readers why the characters do what they do. From the way the characters act, the readers should be able to draw those conclusions themselves. Hope this helps.

1783316 Saturday can't come fast enough.... and yet slowly because then I'll feel like I have more study time for my last thing on Friday...

What a great premise for a story... Velvet is surprisingly unconcerned that her husband stays out all night doing Celestia knows what. I shudder to think what he'll find to do in Ponyville. As for finding Twi a stallion, as the CMC know from singing about it, the pickings around town are slim. Maybe the odds have improved with all of the Canterlot visitors though

Midlife Crisis Daddy and I want Grandkids Mommy.



Good luckmTwilight Sparkle. You're gonna need it.

Great premise! A few notes:
Punctuation with dialogue- If you use a speech tag(he said, she muttered, they yelled) you don't use a period. You can use exclamation points and question marks, but if it would be a period, use a comma.

Show, don't Tell-

“We gotta help.” Applejack said determinedly.

Again, that should be a comma, but more importantly, don't tell me she's determined, show me her set jaw, her furrowed brow, her hoof digging a trench in the dirt. Body language is a beautiful thing.

Applejack stomped her hoof. "We gotta help!" She set her jaw and turned for the farm.

This is pretty good, though. Keep at it! :twilightsmile:

My dad is going through the exact same thing right now. I hate it.

With a fiery, burning passion.

Oh, boy. This is going to be good. And Twilight's mane is going to be a mess at the end of all this, I bet. It may even spontaneously combust again... at least, I hope so. I like those moments.

I knew someone would put in the 'buns in my oven' bit I was waiting so long for that.

Ahh, nothing like a good mid life crisis to spice life up. My dad is through his right now.

Wait, wait, wait...

Every single stallion in Equestria... or every single stallion in Equestria?

... Wait...

I should just... read it.

I really like this idea, and so far the style. I especially like your 'family tradition' explanation for the name Twilight.
Oh boy, meddling moms? Haven't had that yet, but mid-life crisis dad I've had to live through.:ajbemused:

Rainbow must protect her stuff from drool monsters!!!:rainbowlaugh:

Proof and percent are different things but similar. Percent is how much alcohol is in the drink as a percentage. The most you can get with 'natural' distillery methods is something like 98.9% or something. Everclear - nasty stuff. If you really chemically work it, you can get 99.999999% (effectively 100%) ethyl alcohol but that's considered a chemical and not a drink. Proof is percent times two. So 151 proof rum is really 75.5 % alcohol.

pinkie + alchol = apocalypse *packs suitcase* i'm going to whinnypeg.

I just thought of something,:pinkiegasp: someone should write a fic with Pinkie getting drunk and her friends try to sober her up:eeyup:

This won't end well

"chapter 4"?

I'm a little scared to check for myself. Was this just a misspelling derp? Or a pre-release derp?:twilightoops:

Thou hath invoke our interest...
We shalt follow you...

The splinters of a timberwolf comment was genius. I loved it. :rainbowlaugh:

Well, at least Pinkie and Twilight didn't wake up together, that'd put the kibosh on mama Twilight's plan.
Although, that does leave the question of where, exactly, Pinkie is...
Maybe someone should put a tracker on that pony?
Might even be a good story concept, "Belling the Pinkie."
:pinkiegasp::twilightoops:

Something is weird, it says it is chapter 4. When I click on it goes straight back to story page but then whit a chapter 3.

And now it is fixed?

We shall see where this is going to go....:pinkiecrazy:
