> Twilight's Big Book of Pony Races > by PixelPaper > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Introduction > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mane 6 had just walked into the castle. They were sitting the in Royal Library. Twilight was triple-checking her checklists checklist when Pinkie came over with a book in her mane. "Hey Twilight! I found this really big, really cool looking book!" The pink mare tipped her head forward and the book rolled out onto the polished table. Dust flew up, causing coughs and sneezes. Twilight fanned away the dust, making the book somewhat clear. "Pony Races? This is just an old book Princess Celestia sent me when I was little, Pinkie." "Oh! Could you read it?" "I don't know, Pinkie." The mane 6 walked over after fanning away their sections of dust. They had heard what the two were talking about. "Yeah, come Twilight!" "Come on, sugar cube!" "I don't mind, if you don't." "It wouldn't hurt, darling." Soon, Twilight gave into her friends pleas. "Alright! Alright. I'll read it!" Cheers erupted from the somewhat crowd. They all took a seat around the largish table and Twilight cracked open the dusty book. "Alright, chapter 1..." > Fluffy Ponies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight turn the page. "This is more an entry than an explaination." "Read it anyway!" "Alright." Twilight cleared her throat once more. "Race name: Fluffi Maximumus." Twilight looked really confused. "Pony races speciality: Extreme fluffiness! This is getting weird fast." "Keep reading." "The Fluffy pony." A guard suddenly walked in with a glass of water. He set it next to her. "You were clearing your throat a lot, so I brought you some water." Twilight thanked the guard and he left. She looked back down at the book. "This type of pony explains itself, it's simply fluffy. These pony's don't always speak quite right, but that does not necessarily mean they are any less intelligent than the average pony. Fluffle Puff, one of the first of her breed, managed to construct a working tank, out of pillows!" Below is a transcript of a interview a local (Caramel Creme) had with FlufflePuff. Caramel: Hello FlufflePuff! It's very nice to meet you! I'm Caramel Creme. FlufflePuff: Pthptphptphppthppthptphpthpphpththtphpthpthtbtphbvpthpbpthppbpthpbp. Caramel: Uhhh....I'm gunna go take a shower, I have spit on me. (Written Scrip walks in) Written: What happened here? (Fluffle began to play with Written's furry ears. Written looks at the transcriptier) Written: A-are you writing this down? Transcripter: Yeah? Written: No you're not! (The brown Furry Pegasus flew at the transcripter) That's were the interview ended. If you ever encounter a Fluffy Pony or a Furry Pony (talked about on the next page), do NOT confuse them! Furry ponies get very offended. Twilight looked confused and shook her head. "Let's go on." "Yeah." The alicorn grabbed the edge of the next page. > Furry Ponies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight turned the page. "Next is Furry ponies! I think Written Script is one of these!" "No, she's a reindeer." "Oh yeah." Twilight cleared her throat and began reading. "Furry ponies are a race of pony of commonly have more fur than the average pony. They normally have a it on their ears and chest, but the fur can be other places. Such as hind legs or muzzles. They are smaller and thiner than most types of pony and are normally playful." Pinkie bounced in her seat a little. "They're race mostly contains pegasi, because pegasi have lighter bones which, for some odd reason, allows more fur to grow, but unicorns and earth ponies populate the race as well. Their wings feathers are pointy and two colors, the outer wing color is a darker hue of the inner wing, instead of round and one color." Rainbow was worried checking herself over, while Fluttershy flapped her wings with a smile. "I wouldn't mind being a Furry Pony." "Well, I would! I do not want any more fur or pointy feathers!" The friends laughed and Twilight continued reading. "They are mostly a cheerful race, but can change their mode very quickly. They especially get angry if they are confused with Fluffy Ponies, a completely different race." Pinkie suck her head out the window. "Hey Written!" "Hey?" "You're a Fluffy Pony, right?" "I'm a winged-reindeer, Pinkie!" Pinkie yanked her head back in and the sound of something crashing into a window was heard. That was followed by screeching, indicating that that someone was sliding off. The friends laughed once more. "Is that all, Twilight?" "Yep!" "Alright, what's next?" Twilight grabbed the edge of the other page. > Zebras > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight turned the next page. "Zebras? But they're not a pony race." "Just read it!" "Alright! Fine! Race name: Zebra. Zebras are a sub-race of earth pony with white fur black stripes, or black fur and white stripe, depending on how you look at it. What the?" "Twilight!" "Zebras are quite rare but can be found in packs of three or four. Occasionally, a Zebra may wonder off on its own." "Really?" "Quiet Applejack!" "I didn't know you like this show much, Rainbow." "I do other things. Now keep going!" "There are a few tribes of Zebras that live in more remote places in Equestria. These tribes often practice magic, potions, and other magical items and elixirs. The shamans of these tribes wear jewelry around there front legs and necks, along with earrings and a traditional mo-hawk. These shamans also tend to only speak in rhyme. But not always, some just wear nothing and speak normally. And then there's a transcript. Twilight turned the book so everyone could see. Here is a transcript Caramel Creme had with Zecora, a shaman who lives in everfree forest. Caramel: Hello! I'm Caramel Creme! Zecora: I am Zecora, a shaman of powers. Now this Written Script, why don't you bring her flowers? Caramel: ANYWAY! Tell us, what's your job as a shaman? Zecora: Magic, potions, and voo-doo! And but let's not forget, a love expert too. Caramel: MOVING ON! Zecora: But you haven't, this is true. Tis young mare, Written Script, that males you do what you do! (Caramel placed his clipboard onto his head, finishing his beet red face.) Caramel: Zecora, Name a couple of fruits for me please. Zecora: There are apples, and apple flavored snapples. There are oranges......... Twilight turned the book around and looked at her friends. They all shrugged. "That was one of the more normal one is guess." "What's next?" "Let's find out." Twilight grabbed the next page of the book.
