MLP Loops 146
146.1 (Detective Ethan Redfield)
Spike awoke cleaning the library as he often did just before Twilight would enter and announce her plans for the loop. Oddly enough, the Library seemed a bit messier than usual, with books laying scattered across the room. He put his feather duster under his arms and pondered how Rarity would appreciate another trip on the cruise liner he kept in his subspace pocket. His pondering came to an end when the door opened, issuing Twilight, with her eyes twitching, "Pack your bags, Spike, we're vacationing on the moon this loop."
This surprised the dragon youngling. "Wha-why Twilight?"
Twilight levitated Spike onto her back and teleported to Ponyville, then Canterlot Castle, and finally the Griffon Kingdoms. Derpies, Derpies everywhere. Derpy had literally replaced everyone but Twilight and the dragons. When studying her memories, Twilight realized she was born with a genetic mutation which made her different from all the Derpies. Each one had retained their cutie mark and personality, but they all had Derpy's destructive, accident prone quirk. Literally, Equestria constantly destroyed and rebuilt itself every day. Further, Celestia had also been replaced by Derpy, and surely Luna had been as well. Her return would probably herald the destruction of the planet as they knew it.
Spike was quick, pocketing several gems he had saved. Within moments, they were gone.
146.2 (Gamma Cavy)
Twilight!" Dash screamed. Twilight looked up. "You have to help me! It's horrible!"
"What's horrible?" Twilight asked.
"This loop! All pegasi can only hover like bees!" Dash's speech was broken and distraught. "And fly slowly! The princess is the only one who can fly the way we should!"
This setup seemed familiar. Twilight puzzled, even as she patted Dash soothingly.
Oh. A thought clicked into place, with the memory of a long ago loop. Only hover like bees. Click. A loop where the laws of physics were enforced. Click. The princess, whose wings were larger, could truly fly.
"Dash, I know what the problem is," she began, and was nearly bowled over by a distraught pegasus.
"What is it?!" her friend's eyes were bloodshot.
"The magical field that saturates Equestria this loop is too weak to support flight with wings that are too small to generate lift." Twilight explained. "Celestia can fly because her wings are five times larger than those of a pegasus."
"What good does that do me!" Dash snarled.
"Ascend, and go for your full alicorn state, the one you have in Sisters loops."
There was a flash, and five seconds later Dash, full alicorn, with large wings, hugged Twilight and took off.
The resulting rainboom destroyed the upper half of the library.
"Dash, why didn't you think of ascending yourself?"
"I panicked. Loop memories just stated that this was the way it was, and the princess is supposed to be able to fly because she uses special magic from having lived so long."
146.3 (fractalman)
Once upon a time, two sisters controlled the weather. The younger sister ensured it rained whenever we started to dry out, the other ensured the sun came out whenever we started to get too wet.
After a sibling spat got out of control, the older sister grabbed the Elements of Slime, only for both to be banished. Since then, we have had to control the weather ourselves, which is extremely exhausting.
However, it is said that after a thousand years, they shall return. What will happen then, none can say.
Twilight Slimemold closed the slime-proof book with a psuedopod. She both chuckled and shook her head, flinging a piece of goop away in the process.
"Wahoo! We're Smooze this loop!" yelled the pink eyeless blob known as Pinkie, as she spread herself out over Jellycube Corner. "Now I understand why the Smooze likes to Smooze so much!"
"I have to admit, this is more awesome than I expected." said a rainbow puddle with one eye-stalk.
Twilight chuckled, and then rolled two of her five eyes when Pinkie started singing the Smooze song.
146.4 (Evilhumour)
Thor had to bite back his laughter from what he was seeing.
While it was often Odin fought against Surtur, and the fire demon would spend his time regaining his strength and power to fight Odin once more, Odin was oddly quiet about the battle this loop. He had to dig long and hard to discover the truth, journeying into the Frost Giant's land to where the blade would be.
Only to find something else and who would be playing Anchor for this loop.
Smashing the ice around looper, he helped her to her hooves.
"I suppose it is true," he said as she glared at him, daring him not to say the words. "Surtur will wield Twilight, the end of the gods."
"Very funny Thor," the purple pony muttered, covering herself with her wings. "I'm surprised that this hasn't happened before."
146.5 (Gamerex27)
"Twilight?" Spike asked, as he Awoke. "Nyx? Where is everypony?"
"Down here!"
"Huh?' he asked, looking around. No matter where he looked across the room, he couldn't see anyone.
"I said down here!"
Spike looked down. Slowly, he brought his paw up to his mouth, in an attempt to stop himself from laughing.
"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up," the olive-sized Twilight muttered.
"My Little Pony?" Spike asked, still holding in his laughter.
"C'mon, you barking tree, didn't you make this joke already?!" Twilight groaned, cursing out Yggdrasil. "Okay...looks like everypony is no bigger than a small fruit this Loop. Like a grape. The Princesses are the size of grapefruits."
"So...does that mean...?" Spike asked, his eyes lighting up.
"Yes, we may be able to trap all the villains in hamster balls this time," Twilight confirmed, as she climbed up Spike's body and settled on his shoulder. "Now, my loyal assistant, to the pet store!" she declared.
146.6 (Kris Overstreet)
The leaves fell in showers from the trees, aided by of dozens of earth ponies and their stamping hooves.
Pegasi heaved and towed and bundles of heavy clouds full of snow, fresh from Cloudsdale.
And in the town square of Ponyville the Great and Powerful Trixie puttered around her wagon in preparation of a show... a process which, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash noted, paused every two or three minutes while Trixie took an extended and longing look up at the great pegasus city in the sky.
"I told you you shouldn't have told her what my unAwake self did in baseline," Rainbow Dash grumbled. "Now without Chrysalis Awake, she can't think of anything else. Her tour stops trail along after Cloudsdale, have you noticed that?"
Twilight sighed and nodded. "Do you think we should let her, then?"
"Hey, you told me I didn't cause any permanent damage when I did it," Rainbow Dash shrugged. "So long as there's no explosives in it besides magic, I don't see a problem."
"Okay, then," Twilight nodded. "You go tell her. I'll issue a proclamation delaying the official start of winter for two days. Celestia should trust me for that long, at least."
While Twilight Sparkle flew off to compose an official princessly edict delaying the solstice on the legal principle Principitrix Crede En Me, Dash circled down to the stage under assembly. "Trixie," she said, "how are you feeling?"
"Oh, Trixie is well enough," the showmare said lightly. "Trixie has conducted herself well. The performance is all, you know... no matter how small... no matter how few attend..."
"That bad, huh?" Rainbow Dash hovered more closely. "We've noticed you're not on your A-game. Twi and I had a talk, and we've decided... you officially have permission to weaponize winter."
"Beg pardon?"
"Oh, come on, don't pretend. We know you want to. You've got until sunup day after tomorrow to deploy your best snow bomb on Ponyville. No chemicals, no nukes, just magic."
Trixie's lip quivered. "But... Trixie doesn't want to be a problem..."
"Look," Dash snapped, getting a little annoyed, "the three of us are the only Loopers here, and Twi and I are giving you a blank check. No consequences, no reprisals, no lectures. Just go get it out of your system already!"
A twinkle appeared in the Great and Powerful Trixie's eyes. She began to tremble, then to quiver, then to bounce like a jumping bean around her little wooden stage. Her rapidly rising squeal of delight blended with an ominous hissing sound apparently coming from her tail. Dash, having experienced this with Pinkie Pie many times before, cleared out of the area.
"WHOOPEE!" With a flash of light and a series of multicolored explosions, Trixie rocketed into the air, the ballistic arc of her flight aimed directly at Cloudsdale's weather factory.
Thirty-six hours later, just before dawn, a large steel-gray ball of concentrated weather magic, complete with guidance fins, the words FAT MAN stenciled on the side, dropped out of a much larger cloud.
It wore a Santa hat.
146.7 (Gamerex27, Evilhumor, Dave ID)
"WHAT?!" Ivory Scroll screamed. "That...that...this is so imbalanced!"
"If ya wanted a balanced game," Applebloom said, smiling, "ya shouldn'tve played Chaos!"
"'When you flip this card, lose the game?!'" the mayor repeated. "Argh...that's it."
"What's it?" Discord asked, putting some more bits into the pot.
"I'm making an expansion to this," she growled. Snatching the game rules off the table, she put her player token and set of dice back into the box, watched it turn into a bunch of grapes, then snorted. "Someone needs to fix this. I think I'll take my vacation now to figure all this out."
"...Are you even allowed to make expansions to the game?" Sweetie Belle asked Discord.
"It's Chaos!" the spirit of entropy said, half-offended. "Of course you can! What fun is a game when you just use the same rules over and over!"
"Or ya just hide some cards in your mane and cheat like hell!" Vinyl grinned.
"Yeah, you can do tha-wait, what?!" Discord squeaked. "You'd cheat at my own game?"
"How is it cheating when there are no rules?" Sweetie tilted her head, causing him to sputter in anger.
"It's the spirit of it! It's random to the extreme, and cheating adds a sense of order!"
"I saw you pull a punchcard out of your eyelid." Vinyl pointed out.
"...I made the game!"
"Wadda ya mean I'm banned from playing the game?!" Vinyl shouted at the cottage door, where a pouting Discord was floating. "Well feh, I can still play it if I want and I'll do it rig-huh?" she blinked as Ivory hoofed her a scroll as Shining Armor stood next to her. Opening it up and quickly reading it, her jaw dropped to the floor. "You're suing me?!" She squeaked as Shining Armor began to direct her to a more private and secure location.
"That'll show her." Discord smiled as he whipped his tail at Angel, launching the rabbit into the sink.
"And that'll show him, jerk who stole my cookies."
146.8 (AnonymousAsk, fractalman)
"This day is going to be perfect... The kind of day I’ve dreamed since I was small..." Began Chrysalis when-
*Knock Knock*
The sound of someone knocking on the door surprised her for a moment, after which she smiled, got back in character, and glanced in the mirror one more time.
"Coming!" She shouted as she went to the door with a smile.
As she opened the door she was surprised to see one of the flower fillies in the door-a little white filly to be precise.
"So, what can I do for you?" Asked Chrysalis with her false smile.
"Um, I wanted to ask you a couple of questions for my school paper, the Foal Free Press. Me and my friends decided to interview famous ponies to increase the sales. I know you are very busy but it will be only a couple of minutes," said the filly, looking at the disguised queen.
Chrysalis looked at the filly, considering: she could send the filly to the caves, but then she’d have to find another flower filly, and the disappearance of the bridesmaid and Twilight Sparkle had already begun to raise awkward questions. No sense getting discovered prematurely.
"Please let me in...please..." The little filly looked at the Changeling Queen with puppy eyes until she broke and let her in. "Wow, these are very cute suits and dresses"
"Um, yes of course..." Answered Chrysalis as she considered simply hypnotizing the filly into leaving her alone.
Chrysalis closed the door and sat down in front of the mirror.
"So, let's begin the interview. The first question is simple: do you like short names? Maybe Chrys, Chryssie, or Chrysti?" asked Sweetie Belle as the Changeling Queen looked surprised.
"Well...I...that's a strange question, but my lovely husband usually calls me Caddy." said Chrysalis as she tried to remain calm.
"Of course. But tell me, Queen Chrysalis, how many children do you have?" Asked Sweetie Belle.
"Chrysalis? I...don't know what you are talking about. Don't tell me that Twilight spread lies about me?" Chrysalis was panicking; it was all she could do to look mostly calm, a trace upset, and a trace confused. Her voice betrayed her, however.
"Oh, don’t worry, this interview is actually very secret, only a few ponies read the foal free press anyways.” commented Sweetie Belle with a cute, innocent smile.
"Of course, but I don't know where that strange idea came from, you foals sometimes have a too hyperactive imagination" Smiled Chrysalis, laughing nervously, still hoping that the situation could be salvaged.
"Oh, come on Chryssi-can I call you that? OH! I know! I’ll reveal my own true form so that you can feel safer!" said Sweetie Belle as she began to glow. Suddenly a pair of wings appeared on her sides.
"Wh...What? An Alicorn! But how?" Asked Chrysalis, all semblance of calm gone.
She tried to think fast. Sure, the alicorn was just a filly, but she needed every scrap of love she could hold in case she had to get into a fight with Celestia or Luna. Not to mention, this filly had known who she was, and didn’t seem to think it was a big deal; who knew who else knew!
"So. Let's talk about your plan. I’m assuming you plan to put us all into cocoons, but what then? You realize you’ll be discovered, right? Even if you replace everyone, all it takes is for one changeling to slip up, and then you’ll be discovered anyways. And how do you plan to control the sun? Do you even know the spell to move it? If you don’t move the sun, you’ll be discovered for sure.”
"Well...I..." stammered Chrysalis as she began to realize that her invasion plan wasn't quite as solid as she’d originally thought.
"Even if you managed to conquer Canterlot, or all of Equestria, there is still the matter of the dragons, the minotaurs, the griffons, the zebras...Equestria has plenty of allies who would be rather perturbed at the idea of being stuck into cocoons. Can you really hold off against all of them? What happens if all the chaos of battle weakens the seal on Discord’s prison? It took the Elements of Harmony to beat him last time." continued Sweetie Belle, but the changeling queen was already out cold.
Chrysalis proceeded to dream of her children being trampled by ponies, roasted by dragons, torn apart by griffons, as then spit-roasted by Discord atop a dragon flame. Her nightmare only got worse as Sweetie Belle continued to list off the things that made Equestria a death world.
Meanwhile, Twilight was waiting with Rarity and the real Cadence in the reception hall.
"Are you sure it was a good idea to send Sweetie Belle alone to meet Chrysalis?" Said Rarity.
"Don’t worry, she’s Awake.” Said Twilight.
“It’s not her I’m worried for.”
146.9 (fractalman)
Discord chuckled as the purple alicorn approached his throne. “So, a pretty pony princess wants to play? Well, let us play snake!”
He snapped his fingers, and Twilights legs appeared in the air next to him.
They promptly glowed, and started to kick him.
“Hey! Stop that!” exclaimed Discord, before snapping his fingers again, returning the legs to Twilight. “Alright, lesson learned, don’t take your legs. Hm…I know, let’s play keep away with your horn!”
He was rather perturbed when the horn glowed and floated out of his paw and over to Twilight.
“This is kind of fun” Said Twilight with a smile. “What other games would you like to play?”
Discord glowered. “That does it, I’m turning you into something edible and eating you.”
He snapped his fingers, and Twilight turned into a small purple jawbreaker. A small purple jawbreaker that started to giggle. “Oooh, ooh, I know this part! This is the part where I keep my powers as an alicorn, only they’re concentrated into a jawbreaker sized package!”
When Celestia and Luna arrived with the Elements of Harmony to seal Discord away, what they saw, combined with the chaos magic in the air, made their jaws drop off and land on the ground.
“OW! OW! PLEASE! STOP! I YIELD!” yelled the draconequus as he got the literal stuffing beat out of him by a giggling, flying purple dot.
146.10 (Evilhumour)
Cadence sighed, looking at the young, dreamy stallion in practicing his forms over and over again.
"-nd I do not know how to talk to him Aunt Luna," Cadence whined, rolling her head around as said princess Woke up.
Luna blinked and smiled to herself. This was something that she had been desiring to do for quite some time.
"Worry not, dear niece, auntie Lulu has it covered," Cadence head shot upright, worried that her aunt would do something bad if she called herself 'Lulu'.
"It will not be over the top, will it?" She asked with some fear in her voice, to which Luna simply walked over to the young alicorn.
"Trust me, my dear Cadence, we shall be subtle as the night."
There was a sudden CRASH as the window above exploded, causing all the cadets to hit grass in fright. Shining Armor blinked as pink and blue object landed in front of him, turning out to be Princess Luna holding a wide eyed Princess Mi Amore Cadenza in her hooves.
"GREAT AND NOBLE SHINING ARMOR, OUR DEAR NIECE WISHES TO MEET WITH YOU AS SHE HAS LONG ADMIRED YOU FROM AFAR!" Luna shouted without going into the royal canterlot voice somehow, with a straight face as the mare in her hooves face became a few shades more pink with her eyes turning into pinpricks. "AS WE KNOW THAT YOU HARBOUR THE SAME FEELINGS FOR OUR DEAR NIECE, WE FELT IT PRUDENT THAT YOU TWO SHALL MEET FORMALLY." While still holding Cadence, princess Luna tapped Shining Armor's nose with her wing. The stallion in question had his coat turn pink from blushing, his eyes mirroring the mare above him. "YOU TWO SHALL BEGIN TO COURT EACH OTHER, TAKING THE STEPS SLOWLY. WE ADVISE YOU TWO TO SHARE INFORMAL NAMES AS A FIRST STEP!"
There was a dreadful silence as everypony looked at the two young ponies in question with Luna still managing to keep a diplomatic face.
Squeaking, the stallion cadet tried to cast his eyes downwards before the blue wing held his head upright. "MynameisShiningArmorbutyoucancallmeShiny."
"MynameisMiAmoreCadenzabutyoucancallmeCadence." the young alicorn mare squeaked out in response.
"HUZZAH! YOU TWO HAVE BEGUN TO TALK!" Without any warning, Luna dropped her niece to whom the stallion gallantly caught with his person. "WE HAVE DONE OUR GOOD DEED OF THE DAY!" With that, Luna flapped her wings, ascending into the sky. "IF YOU TWO NEED ANY HELP DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK AUNTIE LULU!" And then faster then Celestia was when cake was involved, she was gone, leaving two very awkward ponies looking at each other.

(Archeo Lumiere)
You are once again Grinning Twister. In your confusion, you decide to check your room for any CLUES to what is going to happen later in the loop. A quick look around your room shows you that you still maintain your passion for TERRIBLE MOVIES, although you also notice that your PIANO is in your room, unlike usual, when it was in your dad's office. You also just realize that your computer was somehow typing both yours and Dave's typing quirks perfectly, despite having A SPEECH-TO-TEXT system. You also observe that there is a circle on today's date on the calendar, with the words SBALE BETA written next to it. This reminds you that along with your fellow Homestuck Loopers, you also have SEVEN OTHER FRIENDS on Friend Prank trustyScribe, adamantJumper, friendlyShaman, revelryDeclarer, rubyBlazer, saltedViridian, and precociousPastry.
*> Be one of the girls you've already met face to face.

Your name is ROSE LALONDE and you are clearly in a very special pastel equine hell.
Your LOOP MEMORIES apparently peg you as the roommate of one MAPLEHOOF, and as a student at CELESTIA'S SCHOOL FOR GIFTED UNICORNS. Apart from these minor details, your ELDRITCH TOMES, VIOLIN and KNITTING SUPPLIES remain intact, although the devil is in the details - you seem to possess several albums by one OCTAVIA PHILHARMONICA MELODIA, and for some reason a POINTY WIZARD HAT WITH SILVER BELLS ON IT.
Also, who are these strange people on your FriendPrank friendlist? Not Egbert, he's strange but not that strange. No, you mean this trustyScribe person of indeterminate gender.

You are now Twilight Sparkle again, and you're looking through your FRIENDS LIST with some dismay when one tentacleTherapist tries to call.

* > Be the party pony.
Pinkie Pie rolled her eyes. "Wow, the text parser thing is obnoxious. Are you done?"
John scratched the back of his head. "Sorry! That kind of happens in my loops."
(Alex Prior)
He peered at the pink pony who had suddenly appeared in his room.
"Are you timey sorta pony around here? It's just that you are doing the same disappearing stuff Dave is doing. Not that I think it's bad or anything," he backpedaled just in case.
He thought for a moment. "Although I should probably warn you about the sudden occasional shifts in perspec-"
* >You are now Rose again.
The Seer of Light smiled to herself. It seemed the commands were still a thing this Loop; it was the little things that gave her comfort. She decided to contact trustyScribe for now.
tentacleTherapist [TT] began pestering trustyScribe [TS].
TT: Hello?
TT: May I ask for your name, race, and gender?
TT: If it's not too much of an inconvenience, of course.
TS: Oh, hello! I'm Twilight Sparkle, unicorn, and female, in that order. May I ask yours?
TT: I'm Rose. Unicorn, also female. Now that that's out of the way, what do you know of Yggdrasil?
TS: Yggdra- Oh! You're Awake?
TT: Yes, that is correct. I presume I am speaking to a Looper then?
TS: Anchor, actually. Twilight Sparkle, Equestrian Loops. Nice to meet you!
TT: You as well, miss Sparkle. But for now I must leave you. I must verify the status of the rest of my friends.
TT: Goodbye.
tentacleTherapist [TT] ceased pestering trustyScribe [TS].
Rose ended the conversation deep in thought. Equestria, hm? She'd have to see about that. First though - an encounter with Maplehoof would have been inevitable.

Adagio fought back the urge to laugh. They had it. They had them! One more verse and this entire school would be theirs, and there was nothing the foals could do to stop them -
"Voice of silver," Sonata sang.
It took Adagio a half second to realize she couldn't rhyme with that. It took her another beat to glare at her, and with that, the spell was broken. The students in the open-air auditorium looked back and forth at each other, blinking - actually thinking about the lyrics -
"Sonata," Aria growled, "That wasn't part of the song."
"It was so, look!" Sonata held up a page of sheet music.
Adagio snatched them from her hands, scanned them - then facepalmed. "Sonata," she said, "This says 'from Pinkie, with love' on the bottom."
It was about then that the theremin cut in.
Adagio glared at the group gathered on the hill opposite them - just as the drumroll started.
The speakers on Vinyl's car came to life, and Twilight - grinning from ear to ear - started to sing.
"When they come on strong
with a siren song
Who you gonna call?
VERSEBREAKERS!
When a funeral
Becomes funk and soul,
Who you gonna call?
VERSEBREAKERS!"
Adagio ground her teeth as the theremin solo picked up speed.
Sonata, being Sonata, sang along. "I ain't afraid of no song!"
146.13 (Evilhumour)
Twilight smiled to herself, enjoying the nice wintery da-
PHAW!
Shaking herself clean of the snowball that hit the back of her head, she began to look around for the culprit when PHAW!
Spinning around, she began to reach for her magic and PHAW! PHAW! PHAW!
"Okay, that's it!" she shouted, pushing herself upright and looking around the empty field she was in. "Where are you!?" she then quickly sent out a blast of magic to cancel out any spells hiding the guilty party only for PHAW!PHAW!PHAW!PHAW!PHAW!PHAW!PHAW!PHAW!PHAW!PHAW!PHAW!
Screaming in defeat, Twilight quickly teleported herself away.
A few seconds passed by until the ponies began to come to the center of the clearing. The tallest of the four of them looked at the sole stallion among them and dipped her head, her mane dyed to match her coat like the rest of them had done so.
"Report."
"Total success Celestia," the nephew said to his aunt, smirking up a storm. "I don't think Twilight had any clue to what happened."
"If you call freezing my flanks off for this prank a success, then yah, it was perfect." the DJ muttered grumpily.
"Well darling, if you had listened to me before running off, I could have made you something to make it easier for you." the last said with a smile on her face, still unhappy that she had to dye mane white.
"Why I-"
"Ladies," the stallion said, stepping the middle of them, "Before we get into any kind of fight, let's get back home before Twily figures out what happened and nails us."
With nods from all of them, they teleported back to the respective homes at prank well played.
Twilight grumbled as she stood on her balcony, trying to enjoy the nice winter night. After being attacked by mysterious snowballs, she had to deal with snow raining from above in a clear day, snowballs attacking her from the lake, and she was sure Pinkie Pie had somehow managed to get an unAwake Derpy to hit every tree branch she was under.
Rubbing her nose and holding the cup of hot chocolate, she looked up at the night sky, the wide moon, the odd cloud above her, the twi-
"Wait, what?" Twilight blinked, staring up at the cloud before realizing one thing. That was no cloud, it was a massive snowball!
PHEW!
THUD!!
"GAH!" Twilight shouted, sticking her head and hooves out of the massive snowball, flailing helplessly, spotting the faint outline in the sky of three familiar ponies. "LUNA, NYX SPARKLE, AND CHRYSALIS, ONCE I GET MY HOOVES ON YOU, YOU ARE SO D-"
CRACK!
"GAH!" Twilight shouted, face down as her balcony could not take weight of the snowball, leaving Twilight fuming in white rage.
As the friend looked out from the cafe, they had to ask themselves if they had went too far with their pranks. By the exploding geyser of snow and fire, they were close to saying yes.
146.14 (Anon e Mouse Jr.)
"Er… Twilight?"
"Yes, Rarity?"
"Would you mind terribly helping fix up the automatic repair spell on the walls of the Boutique? I'm afraid it's… not functioning at the moment, so I've had to make some hurried repairs of my own. But as you can see, it's just not the same." Rarity gestured to the crude patches on her walls.
Twilight blinked. "Okay… I'll help, but why do you have an automatic repair spell on your walls?"
"Because this loop, I have an older brother. And he's never quite learned how to use doors. Or he has, but chooses to ignore them." Rarity looked quite put out at this.
"Doors… oh. Oh no. Please tell me I'm thinking about the wrong stallion."
"I'm afraid not, darling. It's…"
There was a loud crash as a section of wall fell in, causing Twilight to flinch.
"YEAH! HEY, LITTLE SIS! WHAT'S UP?"
Rarity flinched. "My blood pressure."
"THAT'S TOO BAD! I BET A NICE, DEEP-TISSUE MASSAGE WOULD HELP!"
"Er… no thank you, dear. I'll settle for my usual routine the next time I go to the spa."
"OH WELL. SEE YOU LATER!"
There was another crash, and another hole in the wall as Bulk Biceps, the only pegasus in a family of unicorns, left the building.
Twilight looked at Rarity. "Your next spa session is on me. Right after I replace your boutique with a replica made of adamantium."
"That's not quite what I had in mind, but I suppose it would work…" She sighed. "At least my little sister this loop isn't nearly as troublesome."
Twilight raised an eyebrow. "From the way you say that, I'm guessing somepony's replacing Sweetie Belle."
"Exactly. In fact, she's staying with me while our parents are on vacation, and I'd like to have this fixed up before she gets home from school."
"Not a problem. So, who is she?"
Rarity told her.
Twilight's eyebrow raised higher. "I see what you mean. And if you don't mind, I'd like to meet her when she gets in."
"Not at all, darling."
"Good. Well, time to get to work."
Several hours later, the Carousel Boutique had been completely redone (even if it looked exactly the same as before, sans the repair patches), and Twilight and Rarity were chatting inside over some tea, when Rarity looked at the clock.
"Well, it's time. She should be back from school any minute now."
Right on cue, there was a knock at the door. "Rarity?"
"Come in, darling."
The door opened, and a small head peeked in. "If you have company, I can go somewhere else."
"It's quite all right, darling, don't be shy."
"All… all right."
With that, Twilight watched in pleasant surprise as a cyan-maned unicorn who was normally an Earth Pony shyly walked in. "Um… hello."
The lavender unicorn smiled. "Hello, Coco. It's nice to finally meet you."
Coco Pommel blushed. "Nice… nice to meet you too. And… Igottagodomyhomeworkbye!"
Rarity shook her head. "Poor dear's even shyer as a filly than Fluttershy was in baseline. But I do care for her so."
Twilight just smiled and hugged her friend. "I know the feeling."
146.15 (Anon e Mouse Jr.)
"HEY TWILIGHT!"
The lavender unicorn winced. "I'm right here, Rainbow Dash, you don't have to yell."
"I know, but... I'm so excited! My last loop was a really, really fun one."
Twilight smiled at her friend's enthusiasm. "All right, what happened?"
"Well, you know how Photo Finish is my mom some Loops?"
"Yes."
"Well, it happened again this last time. Except this time, I actually shared her interest in photography. And I think I'm gonna keep that skill, because I got some really, really good ones I just have to share. Here, take a look at this!"
Wordlessly, Twilight accepted the photo. Then, as she looked at it, her eyes widened. "Is that..."
"Your tree coming to life and kicking Tirek's plot back to Tartarus? Yep, it is."
Twilight smiled again, wider than before. "Thank you, Rainbow Dash. Thank you."
146.16 (RowanEx, few edits from BIOS-Pherecydes, idea from AnonymousAsk)
"Uh... Fluttershy?"
"Yes, Twilight?"
Twilight couldn't help noticing the stripe of red on her friend's otherwise pure pink mane.
"How do you feel about... well, about all of this?" she nervously asked.
Fluttershy looked at Twilight, taking a moment to consider the question. "Well, not much has changed, other than the possibility of ruthless killing, but it's not that bad. I was lucky Spy was Awake too, at least I kept most of who I was."
And to think that Princess Luna recruited the RED Team to get you back... Twilight thought. "So, what are your plans today?"
"Anything that can help remove the less pleasant memories from before I Woke Up..."
"You and me both," Spy added beside her before he faced Big Mac. "Tell me, will Brain Bleach even work for this particular moment?"
“Um... maybe.” Big Mac looked at Fluttershy, before heading to get a batch.
The masked human mercenary suddenly shuddered as he remembered one of the things Fluttershy said a few days ago. He did love the times when he and Fluttershy were visiting Teufort, learning her parents this Loop were war veterans, and Soldier’s odd secret about cute things. Although…
“Uh, Spy?” Fluttershy asked, “have you ever wondered why Engineer, or Daddenji as I apparently called him this Loop, was banging his head?”
Right. “Hub-version of this loop’s references,” was his answer, which sounded bad in his French accent. “Although, let us move. We have unfinished business to do.”
146.17 (RowanEx)
Twilight Sparkle Woke up on her room reading a book about the history of dancing. She checked her memories and her flank.
"Oh. That makes sense."
Vinyl Scratch watched Twilight dance a variety of dances. "It's really, really awkward to see Twilight dancing," she confessed.
"Woohoo! This loop is my favorite!" Twilight shouted as she continued dancing, then she stopped after the CMC entered her studio. "Alright girls, Twilight Time!"
Rainbow Dash looked at Vinyl over a cloud, before staring back at Twilight. "I agree with you."
Still, they couldn't help smile to see Twilight have a dance cutie mark and enjoy the loop as a dance instructor. Although it couldn't get any worse when Tirek came and destroyed her dance studio, the Golden Oaks Studio...
Meanwhile, Applebloom Woke up very late into the Loop that OHYGGDRASILNO-!
She then found herself outside Twilight's dance studio which was blazing in flames. Her memories then came along as she noticed the Golden Oak Library and protected it by kicking off any burnt wood that dared to destroy it too. Vinyl Scratch and Rainbow Dash then carried Applebloom to safety.
"What's with this Loop?" Applebloom asked.
"You're Awake this late?" Rainbow Dash questioned back and Applebloom nodded. "Anyways, Twilight's an awesome dance teacher this Loop, and since her studio was her home, and well, you know what happened."
"At least I get to see the Library live for the day," the filly commented.
As they evacuated, Twilight had beaten Tirek in a dance contest. The next day, Twilight had to move to the Library because she lost her home that Loop. As awkward as it seemed for a dance instructor, she still enjoyed it.

Twilight sighed, placing a hoof to her face.
"And what we did learn today?"
"...that I should wake up my girlfriend, ask her help to prepare a breakfast for my mother, and-GAH!" The yellow stallion jump backwards as the squirt bottle splashed water in his face as the ebony black mare glared at him.
"Dear, try that again without being an arse," Nyx walked past her mother and looked at her boyfriend. "Apologi-"
"But Nyxie, you were up last night for the other plans, and I wasn't going to wake you up for something as simple as this!" Lemon protested.
"I know, and I thank you for that sweetie," Nyx leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek before booping his nose. "Now say you're sorry properly." She fluffed her neck out, pointing to Twilight which gained her some giggles from the stallion.
Calming himself, he looked at the purple mare. "I learned today I should be willing to ask for more help, that a recipe is there for a reason and I should not experiment unless I am sure, and I should always keep a fire extinguisher on hoof."
Twilight smiled and nodded her head. "Just one question, Leman, before you and Nyx go for your other plans." She dared a look outside, the giant mother's day cake monster being held back by a very eager and slightly scary Celestia, with Pinkie Pie narrating the whole fight. "You said you were making pancakes this morning. How the buck did you go from pancakes to that?!"
Lemon blushed as Nyx began to snicker, her boyfriend's inability to cook never ceased to amuse her. "I honestly have no idea how that happened."
Twilight sighed as she waved them off, receiving a hug and a kiss from her daughter and potential son in-law, and began to prepare herself for how the loop would take her tree away in this time.

Wait, this isn't a crossover with this fic?
Also, can you do loops with Tatsurou's other works? I want to see how Looping Rainbow Dash would react to being raised by Tony Stark.
Also, Looping Trixie would probably love the Sam and Max verse.
-Halfway through chapter-
146.11 Haystuck, Part 1
-After reading loop-
And you know, I just said not 15 minutes ago how fucked up the HS loops would be. Shit is literally gonna fly off the hook.
I really like it though, how you guys are constantly up to date on the best stories and adding them to the pot. My favorite set of stories has to be Tatsurou's adoption crossover fics.
Will we finally hear the time Trixie first learned to make thermite, if you include On the Corner of Straight and Narrow?
¨Oh dear.
I see.
You are killing me here!
She's right.
So?
So, pulling a Vegetto.
Oh dear.

SO MUCH YES!

Daaw.
Easy. He's that bad at cooking.
SO MUCH YES!
6053267 Yes. Yes it is.
Forget to say it was an idea from AnonymusAsk trying to make LOOPS FOR ALL ADOPTIVE DISPLACEMENT SERIES---
Oh, look! NMM and Ralph!
I'm a bit confused. I was under the impression the Homestuck branch was still Read-Only, due to the dangerous entity within?
146.11 Haystuck, Part 1
So did the Read Only Loops get phased out because of the Crash that happened to Yggdrasil? Maybe I missed something, Cause I vaguely remember thinking I saw a hint of a Looping Doctor and now with Homestuck getting in on the crazy (which made me almost fall out of my chair since I love Homestuck- and though the idea of them Looping was impossible) Or am I missing something that happened in one of the other Loopverse stories? Cause adding in Homestuck does raise some issues since I thought that the technology and sheer crazy of the SBurb stuff made it corrupted or something- therefore Read Only, Which also affected Doctor Who (at least I think for a while) because of the issues of continuity and regenerations messing with the stability of the Branch that DW was on.
6158719 In-universe, DW couldn't be Activ8ted 8ecause a) the timelords would have noticed the pro8lem with time and tried to fix it, and that wouldn't have helped anyone and 8) Doctor Who is v8ry much not in order. This was resolved by a slight tweak to the timelords and setting the "timeline" of the branch to the Doctor's timeline instead of the underlying universe's timeline.
Homestuck, on the other hand, is Read Only because it's too close to Yggdrasil's universe cr8tion protocols. Letting it complete a loop, even in Read Only mode, would create a new universe, and allowing it to complete a loop would also mean that it's unlikely to stop looping anytime soon. Instead, Universe A cre8tes Universe 8, destroying itself in the process, Universe 8 creates Universe A, causing its own destruction, and the cycle repeats. In this way, a pure Homestuck loop never completes. This really doesn't seem like something that would ch8nge, so I have trou8le 8elieving that 146.11 really 8elongs.
EDIT 20150719: I was working on old inform8tion. The Homestuck pro8lem has 8een ironed out in this thread, with the first snip, cleanup with Admin Shenanigans, posted here.

Hit the nail on the head, Pinkie. I honestly expected Homestuck to be much better, but when I finally 'read' it I couldn't stand it.
146.9 And so, Twilight became Vegito.

Finally! Finally a fused loop with tatsuro's stories! I hope there's more.
...should have seen this coming at some point...

The night literally covers the sky and glows with thousands of lights. Cadance, this is subtle by those standards.
7449398 Thanks!
after all the times Tirek destroyed her tree, that's a nice touch.
somehow that made me think of an old Apple game i had, i think it was called "robot rascals": it had actual cards to go along with the game, and to win, you needed to have your robot find the in-game items that matched the cards. but some items were good items that gave your robot bonuses, and some were bad items that gave penalties. it was a turn-based game, and you could steal items from other players' robots during your turn. there were also cards that would make players switch cards in different ways. it was also possible to toss items into the lake where they were very hard to get, a handy but nasty trick if you had an item matching the other player's card...
and a card called "killer card" that had NO matching item, so you COULD NOT WIN unless you passed it on to a different player!
8509200
Sounds a little bit like the card game fluxx.
i think that's a reference to a really crazy YouTube video called "Dat Engineer"...
6909530
Where?!
9276830
146.16, referencing "Fortresshy: The Nine Fathers" and "Fortresshy 1.5: For(t) Pony".
As their respective authors, I can also confirm that a bit of 178.11 was referencing "Daughter of Darkness", and 202.12 was inspired by part of "Yes, My Lady".
Until next time...
Anon e Mouse Jr.
Probably should've said this sooner, but whenever I see the word titan my mind instantly thinks Titanfall. I only mention this because the pun "Titanfoal" has been in my head for years and I really hope that I can one day see the pun be made here...someday...
...I want cooking lessons from him now.

It's been forever since I read that fic. I'm a massive PWNYverse fan, like I'm literally up to date on ALL of them. Even the short interlude one and the non-canon ones. Every single PWNY story. And I reread them regularly. I think I'm going to reread Dante's little apple Suprise today.
reminds me of a gag in this video:
For(t) Pony, my dear. (It's the sequel to Fortresshy.)
