> More Stories Featuring Seth > by KenSES64 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A Fanfiction By: Rainbow Dash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Fanfiction By: Rainbow Dash After a long day’s work at the library I went back to the cloud house and teleported up. “Honey I’m home!” I jokingly call as I walked through the front door. I found Rainbow in our bed room at the desk with some papers. She also had a pencil in her mouth. She then puts it down and then says “Done.” to herself. “Writing a letter?” I ask. She turns to me and said, “Oh Seth, I didn’t know you were home. How was your day?” “Meh, kinda busy. Twilight had me put the returned books back, which was a bit of a pain and then it turned out that Vinyl Scratch had a book that was overdue. Let’s just say I walked into a very bad time and she... um... had her hooves full with Octavia.” Rainbow just started laughing. “Oh yeah despite all that I was able to get the book, which was damaged. So I had to hear Twilight complain about that for a bit before she sent me back to get money from Vinyl to replace it. Yeah, and it turned out that those two picked up where they left off.” Rainbow was on her back, kicking the air. “So enough of my day full of awkwardly walking in on lesbian action. How did you spend your day?” I ask. “Okay I guess. I finished “Daring Do and the Amulet of the Seaponies” which could you return that for me tomorrow?” “Of course.” “And then I wrote this story here.” She pointed to the papers on the desk. “Really? I never knew you were a writer.” I say nudging her a bit. “Well... I... uh... I was just a little bored, okay?” “I didn’t say that there was anything wrong with it. So what’s it about?” “Me, Daring Do and The Wonderbolts.” “So it’s a self insert, crossover fanfiction?” “What? No, fanfictions are for losers who want to see fictional characters have sex.” I chuckled a bit and said, “So I shouldn’t be expecting something like, Daring laid down on bed staring into the eyes of Soaring. She blushed and said, “So I heard that you love pie.” Before she slowly spread her legs revealing her dripping wet...” “Okay you can stop!” Rainbow shouted with a blush on her face. “I-I get the idea.” I laughed and said, “I was just seeing how far you would let me take that. I thought you would stop me at the pie line.” I cuddled up to her and asked, “So can I read it?” “Well truthfully I don’t think it’s that good, but go ahead. It’s my first story so don’t be too mean.” She told me. “Me be mean to you? Blasphemy!” I say so over the top, it would make Rarity tell me I was hamming it up too much. Rainbow smile and rolled her eyes, like she was saying "oh you". So I levitated the papers up and began to read it. ______________________________________________________________________________ Daring Do and The Fliers of Awesomeness By: Rainbow Dash So, Daring Do was doing her normal stuff. Dungeons, treasure, booby traps, and of course being a totally awesome badflank. After a day of all that stuff, Daring Do got a letter inviting her to a party at Spitfire’s house in Cloudsdale to met her and the rest of The Wonderbolts. Truly an event so awesome the world might explode. I mean an awesome adventurer and the greatest fliers in all of Equestria, no Scratch that, the greatest fliers in all the bucking world. If you don’t think that’s the most amazing thing ever than buck you! That night Daring went to Cloudsdale and made her way to Spitfire’s place. There she did what the invite was about them meeting each other. Everypony there needed to take a minute for their brains to take in this great moment of cool and awesome radicalness. This was the greatest moment in the history of everything. Suddenly the party was crashed by notorious gangster Ice Pick and his goons. They threaten to harm all of them, but they were all taken out instantly by the most amazing flier ever. The one, the only, Rainbow Dash! Because of her doing this and also because she was so awesome and cool, Spitfire made Rainbow a Wonderbolt. Rainbow went on to preform at several shows and races. Then at the next Grand Galloping Gala, after their performance, Rainbow Dash’s boyfriend, the incredibility handsome and sweet Seth Disarmonia proposed to her. Of course she said yes. A few months latter the two of them got married, having the best wedding, and honeymoon ever. So now Rainbow Dash had all she could ever want. She’s a member of The Wonderbolts and she has the greatest husband she could ever ask for. The End ______________________________________________________________________________ “So how did you like it?” Rainbow asked. “Well... the plot seemed a bit... ummm... nonexistent...” I said. “So it sucked.” She said pouting a bit. “No, no, no. It was just a bit rushed and short. Maybe if you expand on it a bit and explain a few things...” “Don’t worry Seth, I was messing with you. Like I said I thought it was bad too, so be honest.” “Okay then, it was pretty bad.” We started to laugh a bit. “Yet, I think the parts about me were good, and I don’t mean that in a narcissistic way.” I said. “So what do you mean by that then?” She asked. “Well I think what you said about me being incredibility handsome was extremely sweet of you.” Rainbow blushed a bit and tapped her hooves together. Dammit she is too cute when she does that. She then said, “W-Well of course your handsome, but that's not important. The thing that I love about you is just how sweet you are to me. Yeah in public it can be a little embarrassing, but I don’t care. That probably is what made me fall for you. Just how nice you are. I remember when you were there for me during the Mare Do Well incident. I guess that’s when I started to get feelings about you.” She then looked up at me, her face now completely red, “I know we tell each other this all the time, but I’ll say it. I love you Seth.” I went up to her a planted a nice passionate kiss on the lips. After breaking the kiss I just stared into her eyes and said, “I love you too.” ______________________________________________________________________________ A few weeks later, about two days after Shining and Cadence’s wedding I went up to Rainbow and asked her, “Hey Rainbow can I talk to you about something?” “Sure.” She said, “What do you want to talk about?” “Well what you said at the wedding and also the end for that fanfic of yours. Were those hints?” “Hints? Hints towards what?” She asked blushing, indicating that she knew exactly what I was talking about. “Well you said that their wedding was, in I quote, “The best wedding so far” and your story ended on us being married.” “Y-Yeah s-s-so?” “So I’m asking if that’s what you want. If so I’ll go to the jewelry store right now if you want.” Her eyes widened and she asked, “Are you... are you proposing to me?” I felt that I was now blushing. I rubbed that back of my head and said, “Uhhh... I just... umm... if you want to... I’m not pressuring you... we can wait. I mean we haven’t even been together for a year yet and...” “Yeah, you’re right. We shouldn’t rush such a big step. Sorry if you felt pressured.” “Oh it’s okay... I don’t mean that I did, but...” Rainbow flew up to me a gave me a quick kiss. “How about we wait until sometime after I become a Wonderbolt?” I smiled at her and said, “Sounds like a deal to me.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Author’s Notes Okay the first of hopefully many stories that have nothing to do with episodes of the show. It was much harder to write badly for Rainbow’s fanfic than I thought it would. Seriously that part took me three days to write. I’ll see you guys next time I get an idea done. Don’t worry I already have a few. > First Date > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- First Date * This chapter takes place in between Family Appreciation Day & Baby Cakes * I was reading Wacthmares when suddenly a familiar pair of light blue arms where wrapped around my torso. “Hey Rainbow.” I said. “Hey Seth.” She responded. Letting go and sitting next to me. “Reading comics?” “Technically it’s a graphic novel.” “Technically you’re a nerd.” “Well, then I guess that means technically you’re in love with a nerd.” “Well, then I guess that means technically you’re right.” She cuddled up to me and let out a sigh. She then started to give me light kisses that I returned and it slowly turned into a make-out session. I heard hoofsteps then the sound of Twi giggling a bit before asking, “Having fun?” We stopped our smooching and I assume we were blushing a bit. “Geez, get a room you two.” Spike said with a smirk. “Spike do you even know what that means?” Rainbow asked. “Of course I do.” Twi turned to him rising an eyebrow, “Okay what then?” She asked. “Well, umm.. It means... uhhh...” “Yeah that’s what we thought.” Rainbow said. “Whatever. Can’t you two just go on a date or something? I mean I’ve been on more dates than you.” “Pretending to kiss a framed picture of Rarity is not a date.” I point out. “Well’ I uhh... shut up!” He walked off in a huff. “Hmmm...” I go. “What is it?” asks Rainbow. “I realize that he’s kinda right. We’ve been together for a little over a week without going on an actual date.” Rainbow smiled and said, “So are you going to ask me out or what?” “Okay then. Miss Dash would you care to join me on a date?” I say in a horrible attempt at a posh voice. “Hmmm... I don’t know. I’ll have to check if I’m free anytime soon.” She then gave me a peck on the cheek and said, “Sure.” ______________________________________________________________________________ So, where did we decided to go for our first time out together? Why only the most romantic place in all of Ponyville, Sugarcube Corner. Okay, it was Rainbow’s idea and neither of us have much money on us. I’m saving up for something special for the both of us, while she recently bought not one, but two sets of the new Wonderbolts action figures. Yeah two. One that she can keep in the box and one she can play with. And she called me a nerd. We walked in to instantly be bombarded by Pinkie Pie. “Hi Dashie! Hi Sethy! Oooo, are you two on a date? You must be because you’re a couple and you’re in here together. And when couples walk in here together it’s normally because there on a date. So, that must be what you two are doing. So what date number is this?” “It’s our first actual.” I answer. “*Gasp* Oh my gosh! You picked your first date to be here?! *Squee* This is fantastic! Don’t worry I Pinkie Promise that I will make this date great.” She then did the motion of the Pinkie Promise the continued. “I mean I should anyways because I was the one who found Sethy in that cave, so I’m the one responsible for you to getting together!” We were then pulled to a table. Pinkie popped out from under it, now suddenly wearing a white buttoned shirt, black vest and red bow tie. Not the strangest thing she’s ever done, not even close, but I don’t think I’ll ever understand how pinkie does some of the thing she does. Pinkie pulled a pencil and notepad out of nowhere and asked, “So, what can I get for you this fine afternoon?” We both got a milkshake. Hers a strawberry, mine a chocolate. Pinkie suggested instead of that ordering separate ones we could just get one big chocolate-strawberry shake with two straws, but we decided to stick with just separate ones. Anyways we sat there with our shakes and talked. In fact Rainbow actually told me the reason why she wants to join the Wonderbolts so badly, but it’s very personal so she probably wouldn’t appreciate it if I went into it, sorry. I have to say trying to have a nice date with somepony is kinda difficult and uncomfortable with Pinkie popping out of nowhere and checking up on how it’s going. Hell at one point she even randomly took a picture of Rainbow kissing me on the cheek, but Rainbow and I both know she just making sure that it’s going well. Hey she made a Pinkie Promise. I’ve her rumors of what happens when you break one of those. Now imagine if Pinkie Pie broke a Pinkie Promise. If you didn’t shudder at that thought or even think for a second that, that’s scary as hell then somepony should give you a medal for being that tough of a motherbucker. ______________________________________________________________________________ After we finished our shakes we paid and left. We then walked to Rainbow’s cloud house. We stood there for a short while before I spoke. “So we’re here I guess.” “Yeah.” She responded walking closer to me. “So did you have fun?” “I enjoyed myself, you?” “Yeah, It was nice.” She then planted a nice long kiss. When our lips parted we remained silent, just looking into each others eyes. “So I guess I’ll see you tomorrow.” I said. “Yeah, I’ll stop by the library after I clear the sky.” “Okay I’ll see you then.” “‘Kay bye.” She then flew up to her home and I turn around to go back to the library. I then think to myself, ‘I’d say that went very well.’ > Captain Claymore > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Captain Claymore I was just walking through the park when I heard a very strange, yet familiar sound. It took me a second or two to realize what it was. The TARDIS. I walk towards the sound of the materializing time machine and saw a certain gray pegasus glide out and say, “Okay Doctor how many times is that, that I almost got killed now? 5? 6?” “Oh come now Miss Derpy those were Daleks they tend to try to kill me and my traveling companions.” The Doctor said stepping out of The TARDIS. “Besides I did save you didn’t I?” Ditzy blushed a bit and said, “W-Well y-y-yeah you did. I knew you would.” “I would for anypony.” Then her blush disappeared and she said, “Of course you would.” In a slightly annoyed tone. Deciding to stop eavesdropping I walk up to them and say, “Hi Ditzy.” and “What’s up Doc.” The Doctor started laughing when I said that. Must be a Time Lord or Hu-Jew-Whatever species my name sounds like it’s from, things. Anyways I ask them what they were talking about. Turns out they just got back from saving Equestria from some alien race that apparently hates The Doctor sometime in the far future. You know if I haven’t time traveled with these two before to see my own creation that would be kinda hard to believe. Speaking of time traveling it didn’t take them long to convince me to go on an adventure with them right there. Of course I told The Doctor that he’d have to drop me off not too long after this point. Hey obviously I can’t just straight up leave Rainbow Dash for Celestia knows how long to travel trough time and space, I would need to come back right then. Hmmm... maybe someday I can convince Rainbow to come with us. That be fun. ______________________________________________________________________________ So after The TARDIS lands we step out and I ask The Doctor, “So where and when are we?” “Canterlot Castle about 1,303 years ago.” He answered. “So about three years before Inferno came here to try to threaten Equestria the first time.” “Yup.” “Who are you three?” A voice called. We turned to a red unicorn stallion with a black mane wearing silver Royal Guard armor. “Oh hello there.” The Doctor greeted, “I’m The Doctor, this is my traveling companion Miss Derpy Hooves, but she only lets me call her that without getting mad so she most likely would prefer it if you call her Ditzy Doo. I don’t because I mean I would calling her Miss Doo. That just sounds weird. Miss Doo. Oh, and this is our part time assistant Seth Disarmonia.” “I’ve never heard somepony take that long to introduce only three ponies.” I whisper to Ditzy. “You use to it.” She said. Then The Doctor asks, “So who are you good sir.” “I am Claymore. Captain of the Royal Guard.” He said, I then saw his cutie mark that was of the sword he was named after. Yup, he’s one of those ponies. “Of course you are.” I mumble. “What was that?” Claymore asked. “Oh nothing. So Captain I guess I’ll ask. How’s Princess Celestia?” “Why are you asking me about the princess?” “To see how you answer that question. Since you don’t seem to have any other reaction to that I’ll assume that you two aren’t... actually I should spoil it for you.” “Spoil what? And what do you mean by we’re not what? Are you saying that you thought that me and Princess Celestia where... *Laughs* I may be a Captain, but I don’t think that, that’s likely to happen.” The Doctor then claimed that we were heard to see Princess Celestia by showing Captain Claymore a paper. When I asked The Doctor about it he said it was called psychic paper and it shows the reader whatever the holder wants them to see. “Cool.” I responded. ______________________________________________________________________________ We got to the throne room to see a much younger Princess Celestia, who’s mane was only pink for some reason, with swirls in her eyes near a white pony with slicked back black hair, sunken in eyes and a long red and black cape. Oh yeah and he had fangs. Now I’ve used logic before to prove to myself that vampires weren’t real, but that’s the first thing that came to mind. You can tell because I shouted, “Holy crap vampire’s are real!” The pony laughed and said, “Indeed little pony. We are real and we are going to take over Equestria when I make Celestia here my queen.” “I knew that there was something I didn’t like about you Count Fang.” Captain Claymore said. “Wait his name is Count Fang?” Ditzy asked. “Yeah, that’s my name. Why do you ask?” Count Fang said. “Did it take you, like what, two seconds to think of that?” I ask. “That sounds like something somepony with little to no imagination would come up with.” “And do you go out looking like that?” The Doctor asks. “Yeah, if you do and with that name you’d think somepony would have figured that out very quickly.” Ditzy added. “You dare mock me!” Count Fang shouted. “Yes, we do dare to mock you and your stupid-flank name.” I said smirking. His cape then turned into a pair of bat-like wings and he flew at me. I spawned my sword and made a blind slash with it. I felt myself hit a wall and when my vision cleared I saw a bleeding wound across the stomach of Fang that was instantly scarring over and healing, “Ow, that almost tickled.” he said. “You foalish mortals think you can stop me that easy?” Then a orange aura wrapped around him. “What the?!” Fang shouted. I saw the same aura around the horn of Claymore. “I am not going to let you make the Princess you’re vampire queen.” Claymore shouted before he spawned a wooden stake. “I hope this works.” He whispers before jabbing it into the heart of Count Fang. Fang lets out a blood curdling scream before exploding into a pile of ashes. I have to say that was surprisingly easy. The two of us walked over to The Doctor and Ditzy who were looking over an unconscious Princess Celestia. “Is the Princess okay?” Claymore asked. “Oh she should be fine.” The Doctor said. “Just get somepony to put her into her bed and explain what happened when she wakes up.” Some guards came in to do that. I wonder where the hey they were when Celestia was, you know ten seconds away from being turned into a vampire. I swear the Royal Guard are always on break or something whenever there’s a villain in town. ______________________________________________________________________________ Later, I meet up with Claymore and he asks, “So uh... Seth was it?” “Yeah.” “I got a question to ask. Where did you learn that spell? You know that one that gave you that sword. I mean that’s a spell normally reserved for the Princesses and high ranking members of the Royal Guard. Yet, you seem to be just a normal pony.” “A friend of mine who’s in the Guard taught me it.” “Oh okay. I’ll have to look into that.” “Well, at least you have a more powerful version or something.” “Huh?” “Was making that stake the same spell.” “Of course. Why? Do you mean you have only made that sword? Strange that spell should let you make any weapon you want.” “Really? Huh, I have to try that.” Claymore asks me if I want to help him explain what happened to the Princess, but I told him that he really did all the work so he should take the credit. He came back with his face completely red. Well, redder than it was before. ______________________________________________________________________________ I got back to The TARDIS and got dropped back off about 15 minutes after being pick up. Then the two of them go back into The TARDIS and it disappears, so I assume that they were going on yet another adventure. As for me the first thing I do is try to make a weapon out of thin air, other than a sword. I focus my magic and suddenly I have a hammer with a small handle in my magical grasp. “Sweet.” I say aloud. > From Start to Photo Finish > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Start to Photo Finish So I was just doing what probably is about 60% of what my job is, being Twilight’s errand colt, when I noticed a crowd of ponies forming around something. Wanting to see what all the hubbub was about I walked into the crowd. There I saw a light blue earth pony mare with a white mane and tail. She was wearing a black, white and pink dress, along with pink sunglasses. “Yes Ponyville I, Photo Finish, have arrived. I have come to find somepony who has sparked my interest. Do any of you ponies know where I can find this...” She stops talking to take out a newspaper and reads, “Seth Disarmonia.” Everypony pointed at me. “Ah, so you are the famous creation of Discord.” She said smiling at me. “Well, technically yes, but I don’t what that to be what ponies think of me as when they see me. Hell, I get enough negative points from Cloudsdale for being in a mixed relationship with somepony from there.” I say only for the mare to ignore probably everything after “Well, technically yes.” “Well Mr. Disarmonia I, Photo Finish, want you.” “Didn’t you just hear me? I have a girlfriend.” She breaks out into laughter. “No, no, no. Not like that. I would never, say, have a private photo session with one of my clients. No, I mean that I want you to be my new star.” “Uhhh.... what?” “I, Photo Finish can give you the life you’ve always dreamed of.” “What do you mean?” I asked because I had to admit that this was starting to get me interested. “I want you to be my new male model.” That’s when I went from interested to laughing my flank off. “What is so funny?” She asked. “You want me? Me! To be a male model? That’s just...” I said before laughing again. “Why is it funny? You’re perfect. The black coat, those red eyes, that unkempt mane and being the creation of one of Equestria’s greatest villain gives you a major hook.” “Okay I see your point, granted it shows you didn’t listen to what I said about not wanting to be thought only as that pony Discord made out of pure boredom. Besides I’m not really the type to dress up. Hell, the only time I think I ever wore clothes was at Shining and Cadence’s wedding. So Miss Finish if you want to get a model with that same hook try my sister Screwball. I don’t know what she’d say, but who know she might take it.” “Screwball? Hmmm... sounds like a name that can make a very... interesting client.” She then stepped onto this chair thing, I don’t know what it’s called, and it got lifted by two stallions and she got carried away. ______________________________________________________________________________ The next day I was at the café on my break when I saw a certain blue mare with a blue and white mane. Ponyville’s local dentist Colgate, who I would never expect to be here. So, I decided to sat hi and address that. “Well, if it isn’t Miss “Coffee will ruin your teeth.” I said in a jokingly tone. “Oh, good afternoon Seth... I uhhh...” She said trying to hide her cup behind her back. “So it looks like there’s a little hypocrisy going on here.” “Well, I’m going to brush my teeth right after and besides I told you that during you last appointment because that’s my job. *Sigh* If only everypony listened to me.” “If they did, you and Screwball would both be out of a job. Speaking of which how is she?” “Well the other day we had nopony in the office and considering closing up early when who should walk in, but Photo Finish, that famous photographer. I literally gave a fanfilly squeal.” “You sure Berry Punch would appreciate you squealing over another mare?” Colgate got a deep blush and asked, “Y-You know a-a-a-about m-me and Berry?” “Well, yeah. Screwball told me how you two seemed to hit it off when she introduced you two to each other.” “I’ll destroy her!” Colgate shouted like she suddenly turned into Rarity. “Whoa, take it easy. Why are you so mad at her over that?” “Well, me and Berry aren’t really that ummm... open about it. I mean... I come from Canterlot, which okay isn’t as intolerant as say Cloudsdale.” “Tell me about it.” “But, my most of my family is very traditional to the point where my cousin Crest was actually disowned by her parents when she came out of the closet.” “So you’re worried about that happening to you?” “I guess.” There was an awkward silence for a few seconds before I spoke. “Well should you worry about that?” “What?” “Well, ask yourself this. Do you love her?” Colgate’s blush returned and she closed her eyes for a short while before reopening them and saying, “Y-Yeah. I think I do.” “Are you happy whenever you two are together?” “Yes I am.” “So, why hide what you feel? You’re happiness should come before anypony else’s opinion, even those of your own family. All that should matter is you and the pony you love no matter what.” “Do you really think so?” “The closest thing I have to a parent is Discord and I’m with Rainbow Dash, one of the wielders of the Elements of Harmony. I think I know a thing or two about going against one’s family.” Colgate remained silent, so I continued. “Besides even if you’re family in Canterlot is traditional, you’re in Ponyville now. Which seems to be very tolerant over this kind of thing. I mean look at Lyra and Bon Bon or Vinyl and Octavia. Nopony seems to mind them.” Colgate was still silent before she smiled and said, “You’re right. It shouldn’t matter. Thank you Seth.” She then stood up and said, “Now if you excuse me I’m going to my girlfriend and ask her out on a date.” “Good luck.” I said. “Thanks. You know we should talk more. You seem like a cool guy.” “I wouldn’t have somepony as amazing as Rainbow if I wasn’t.” Colgate gave a small chuckle and walked out. ______________________________________________________________________________ Later that day I was walking home when I heard the voice of one certain mad scientist that I happen to me related to. “You!” Screwball shouted. Crap is she mad at me for dumping Photo Finish on her? Please Celestia don’t let her have any acid on her or something. Screwball walked up to me and she was smiling. Wait what? “Thank you Seth.” She said. “Uhhh... What?” I asked. “You got me a new job that pays way more than being a dentist’s secretary.” “What with Photo Finish?” “No with Carrot Top, what do you think?” “You took up the modeling offer? Wow never thought you be into the whole dressing up and posing thing.” “I’m not, but I was interested when she started talking money. Hey, according to my calculation with what I’ll be able to get more parts for my machines and maybe even my own place. So, I think doing some poses and having teenage colts clop over my pictures will be wroth it.” “Please never put that image in my head ever again.” Screwball laughed and said, “Whatever. Anyways I’ll see you around bro.” So, yeah in the span of two days I think I’ve improved the lives of at least three ponies. I’ll say so far this is a good week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author’s Notes Okay guys just to let you know I’ll be taking a short break from this story. (No I’m not out of ideas already.) I want to start working on another story involving Seth and the Mane 6 on an adventure. Which question would it be better to post those chapters on this story or make it, it’s own separate one? I’m thinking of the latter. Either way I’ll hopefully see you all then. > Happy Birthday Seth > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Note if you haven't read Seth Disarmonia and The Universe Hopping Princess then do so because this (and all future chapters unless said otherwise) takes place afterwards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Happy Birthday Seth In a dojo I was knocked to the ground by a certain light blue pegasus for the 5th time that day. She smiled and said, “Well you did better this time.” “You’re just saying that.” I responded while getting up. “Wanna try again?” “I think I’m good for today.” “Hi!” Pinkie Pie said randomly popping up from behind a punching bag. “What’ya doing?” We look at her confused at how she suddenly appeared in here, but hey it’s Pinkie Pie. Then I responded with, “You see after Drez beat the living crap out of me after my magic ran dry, I decided to take up some lessons in hoof–to-hoof combat just in case something like that happens again. Yeah I know I held my own ageist Ganger and When fighting Drez a few seconds earlier my own sword went though my leg, but I still want to improve on that.” “Oh some Dashie’s teaching you some cool karate moves?” “Well she’s trying to. To put it simply I suck.” Rainbow nuzzled up to me and said, “Oh come on you’re not that bad.” She turned to Pinkie and asked, “So was that all you came here for?” Pinkie smile and said, “Nope. I came here to ask Sethy about the party.” “What party?” I ask. “For you birthday party silly. I mean today’s September 10th and if it’s September 10th that means it’s only one week until the 17th. And If it’s the 17th it’ll be your first birthday *giggle*. Don’t worry we’re not going to treat you like a one year old, unless you want us to, but I doubt that. Anyways I wanted to ask what do you want me to do for it? What type of cake do you want? What food should there be? What would you like for a gift?” “Well for food I’m sure whatever you make will be great. As for a gift, oh I don’t know maybe a deck of Science cards maybe?” Rainbow snorts, “You are such a nerd, you know that?” “Oh come on now you’ve tried it before.” “Yeah and I beat you twice without having a bucking clue of what I was doing half of the time.” “That was just because I was using decks I wasn’t used to.” “Sure it was.” ______________________________________________________________________________ So exactly one week later Rainbow and I walked to Sugarcube Corner. When we opened the door the room was completely dark. I rolled my eye and said, “Oh on you guys I already know about this party so you can’t really..” The lights flicked on revealing five mares and a baby dragon, who all shouted “Surprise!” The next thing I knew I was thrown up into the air repeatedly while Pinkie sang. “Happy, Happy Birthday Sethy, Sethy. You Are One Year Older Yeppy, Yeppy. I Had Some Trouble With This Line Sorry, Sorry. I Hope That Doesn’t Ruin The Paarrrtttttty.” After she was done I was set back down on the ground. “Okay, uhhh... thanks everypony. I wasn’t expecting that.” I say followed with a small laugh. Pinkie bounce up to me with a huge grin and said, “ So Sethy I worked really hard to make sure that this was you best birthday ever. Oh, wait it’s your first one so I already accomplished that. Anyways we have chips, soda, cookies, two pizzas for everypony, one cheese the other pepper and onion, there’s a cake for later and Applejack brought some cider. Both regular and the other a special kind of cider that’s her gift for you and... Oops I said too much. Sorry Applejack.” “It’s fine sugarcube.” Applejack said. “I’ll just bring it out now since I’m sure all y’all would like some.” She when into a back room and come back rolling a small barrel of cider that had a picture of a muti-colored apple on it. “Seth may I introduce you to Granny Smith’s Good Ol’ Fashioned Zap Apple Cider. This stuff here is so strong half a cup made Big Macintosh pass out.” I raise an eyebrow. “Is that suppose to intimidate me, because I’ve had drinks with Big Mac before and he’s a total lightweight.” Applejack burst into laughter at her brother’s expense. ______________________________________________________________________________ So the party was really fun. Great food, amazing friends, that Zap Apple cider was heavenly. Plus I receive some very nice gifts. Pinkie and Fluttershy both got me some Science cards. As you would expect Fluttershy tried to apologize to Pinkie about that. Rarity made this really good looking white and red hooded robe. I noticed that those are the colors she tends to choose when she makes clothes for me, but hey Rainbow says they look good on me so I’m not complaining at all. Now the gift from Twilight and Spike I really liked. The Magical Theory by: Starswirled the Bearded. One of the rarest and most advanced spell books ever written. I asked her on how the hay she got her hooves on this, not surprising the answer was Princess Celestia. That made this an even bigger honor because the reason why these are so rare is that they are only given to ponies that Celestia trust completely. Finally Rainbow gift was a hoofcrafted silver pocket watch, one the inside was an engraving that said, To the Pony Who Made My Life Brighter and My Heart Soar. - Love, Rainbow Dash After I read that, I turned to Rainbow with joyful tears in my eyes as I leaned forward to give her a nice big thank you kiss. ______________________________________________________________________________ I looked over my gifts and then my friends and I just smiled and said, “Thank you everypony. This has meant a lot me.” I then turn to stare out a window for what I guess was a little too long because Rainbow commented on it. “I know that look you’re thinking about something.” “Yeah, I’m just reflecting on this past year. All that has happened in a short time. Also how lucky I am to be here, as well as how lucky to have friends as great as you guys. You... You all mean so much to me... Oh did I just make it weird? Sorry. I’m sure that’s the cider talking.” They all smiled as Rainbow messed up my mane a bit and said, “It’s fine you sap ball.” She then wrapped her arms around me and asked, “Are you lucky to have me, because I think I’m luck to have you.” “Of coarse I am. I think that’s what I’m luckiest to have. You are one amazing mare to be able to put up with somepony like me.” There where chuckles all around. “I’m serious. Rainbow I love you with my heart and soul. You are my whole entire world and I can’t even begin or would I want to imagine my life without you.” Now what I said next could be considered a brash decision, but I have no regrets. I unwrapped Rainbow’s arms from around me, pressed our hooves together, stared into those lovely rose colored eyes and continued. “Rainbow I know we talked about this before and made an agreement upon it, but I don’t care. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Rainbow Dash, will you marry me?” Everypony had a look of surprise on there face, but Rainbow’s slowly turned into a smile as tears rolled down her cheeks. She did one of her tackle hugs that I’m so used to by now and gave me a kiss that I don’t even know how long it lasted. When our lips parted she gave her answer that by now was obvious, but I was still happy to hear it. “Yes.” > Hearths Warming Eve. With Rainbow's Father > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hearth’s Warming Eve. with Rainbow’s Father In the library I was assisting Twilight with some lights for Hearth’s Warming Eve. that was one week away. “Okay that looks really good.” Twilight said as we finished decorating. Then, a blue blur burst through the front door and started snuggling me. “Hey beautiful.” I greet my favorite pegasus, “You sure look happy, what’s up?” “Read this.” She instructed, hoofing me a letter, that I read aloud ______________________________________________________________________________ Dear Dashie, It’s been awhile hasn’t it? So that’s why I would like for you and this fiancé of your’s that you’ve told me so much about to spend Hearth’s Warming Eve with me. I’m really looking forward to meeting him. So I’ll see you two in a few days. Love, Dad ______________________________________________________________________________ I just stood there with my mouth agape. Rainbow smiled and said, “My Dad wants to meet you Seth, isn’t that awesome?!” “Y-Yeah, of coarse it is. Why wouldn’t it be.” I said quickly. “Why do you sound so nervous?” “Well, I mean this is your father and all. I guess I’m going to be nervous. What if he doesn’t like me and/or doesn’t think I’m the right stallion for you? What if he forbids me from marrying you? What I...” I was cut off by Rainbow giving me a kiss. When our lips parted Rainbow looked at me right in the eyes and said, “Don’t worry Seth. I’m sure he’ll just love you, I promise.” I sigh and say, “I sure hope so.” ______________________________________________________________________________ So five days later, after leaving Tank with Fluttershy, Rainbow and I went to Cloudsdale and made our way to a small house in the suburbs. Oh yeah, you know how I was kinda nervous when we got the letter, well now I was having a mini freak out in my head, but I didn’t show it. I do have to make a good first impression. Rainbow knocked on the front door for it to be answered by a middle aged pegasus stallion. He was a slightly darker shade of blue then Rainbow, his mane and tail was rainbow colored, but was in a grayish tone, I wasn’t sure if that was because of age or if that was his natural mane color, probably not a good question to ask him. He had yellow eyes and for a cutie mark he had what appeared to be some clouds with a straight rainbow coming out of them. Not sure what spacial talent that represents, but hey I don’t know what mine represents ether, so I’m not one to talk. The stallion smiled and exclaimed, “Dashie!” Rainbow wrapped her arms around him, smiling as well, “Hey Dad.” She then stopped hugging him and pointed her hoof at me, “Dad, this is my fiancé Seth. Seth, this is my Dad.” “Color Spectrum.” He introduced himself, extending his hoof. I shook it and responded, “Seth Disarmonia. It’s an honor to meet you sir.” “Dashie’s told me so much about you in her letters.” “Good or bad things?” “Mostly good, so I think we’ll get along fine.” We walked inside into the living room and placed the wrapped gifts we had for each other, and one for Rainbow’s father that she bought for him, and put both our names on, under a set up, but not yet decorated fake tree. “Okay you two get yourselves settled in, and I’ll tell you when dinner’s ready. After we eat we’ll decorate that tree and then go to town square to see the yearly play, okay?” Rainbow’s father told us. “‘Kay Dad.” Rainbow said flying off. I followed her. ______________________________________________________________________________ The guest room, which apparently it used to be Rainbow’s old bedroom from when she was a filly, was a decent size with a bed, nightstand and a dresser. It also had it’s own bathroom with a shower. Rainbow and I put our stuff down and she turned to me and said, “See I told you that my Dad would like you. He’s not saying you’re not good enough for me or saying anything about you being a unicorn and not a pegasus, like you worried about.” “Well, not yet. I do really hope this goes well. Other than Screwball, you’re the closest thing I have to a family, and I don’t want to lose that.” Rainbow nuzzled me and said, “Like I told you, you’re not going to lose me. Even if he didn’t like you, we could always get married in Las Pegasus or something. We are planning on going there for our honeymoon anyways.” “There’s no way I’d give you some 20 minute wedding some drunk bimbo would have with some coat she don’t even know. You deserve the greatest wedding any mares ever had.” Rainbow kissed me and said, “As long as it’s with you it is the greatest wedding any mares ever had.” There then was a knock on the open door. We turned to see Rainbow’s father smirking. “Just letting you two lovebirds know that the pasta’s almost ready.” So we sat down in the dining room with our plates of pasta and hayballs with garlic bread. While we were eating Rainbow’s father started asking me question to get to know me better. “So Seth, what do you do for a living?” “Oh I work at the Ponyville library.” “A librarian? Huh?” He turned to his daughter and said, “I never thought you’d be into those brainy types. What was it that you call them? Eggheads? I assumed that a dare devil like you’d be with somepony with a more interesting job.” He said with a chuckle. Rainbow rolled her eyes and said, “You’re one to talk Dad. I mean Mom fell for you and you work at the weather factory. That's not the most exciting job in the world. ” He then started laughing and responded with, “Okay you got me there. Touche Dashie, touche.” He turned back to me and asked, “So how did you two meet?” “Well, I woke up one morning and she was besides me.” I tell him. Rainbow facehoofed and I noticed her father’s left eye twitching a bit. “Excuse me?” “Wait, no, no, no. Not like that, what I mean is at the time I had no place to say, so I was living outside at the time, and yeah I woke up one morning and she was just standing nearby. Sorry for the poor choice of words earlier.” “It’s fine.” ______________________________________________________________________________ After dinner I asked Rainbow to meet me in the guest room, “I’m so stupid, I’m so stupid, I’m so stupid. Why did I say it like that. I made it sound like I met you after a one night stand or something.” I said trotting around the room. “Seth it’s fine. My dad said it was.” Rainbow said trying to comfort me. “No, it’s not. I mean he didn’t say a word to me after I said that.” “It’s not that bad. I mean I’d say I don’t have a close relationship with your creator.” “Oh shit! How did I not think of that? How the hell does he feel about the fact that the second we are married he’d be kinda related to Discord.” “Hopefully the same way I feel about it, by not caring about him, and only thinking about the handsome unicorn he gave me.” Rainbow kissed me on the cheek and said, “You know that I love you with all my heart, besides remember what I said, like what, and hour ago?” “Yeah, I know, but I’m not worth ruining your relationship with you father.” “He doesn’t hate you, even he did, like it or not you’re going to be his son-in-law. Now come on, he’s wait for us to help him decorate the tree.” ______________________________________________________________________________ So we went back to the living room and the three of us basically set up the tree. I grabbed ornaments with my magic, hanging them on the branches. “It must be usefully having magic.” Her father stated. “Yeah, I guess it is. I mean if it wasn’t for magic I wouldn’t be standing in this house, nor would I be living with Rainbow. Huh, now I’m curious how our relationship would be like if I was an earth pony, like my sister.” “If you were I’m sure we’d be able to make it work.” Rainbow said, wrapping some lights around the tree. “So you have a sister?” Her dad asked. “Yeah, her name’s Screwball. She’s Ponyville’s local model/mad scientist.” I explain. He laughs and says, “She sounds quite interesting. I’d like to meet her, I’ve never talked to either a model or a mad scientist.” “I’m sure you will at the wedding, but let me warn you. You do not want to get on her bad side. She blinded a dragon, with a vial of acid she had on her for some reason.” He started laughing even louder. He has a weird sense of humor. ______________________________________________________________________________ After we finished we all went to see the yearly play of the founding of Equestria. It wasn’t much different from the one I saw last year, that starred Rainbow and our friends. Except all the actors where pegasi, but that’s not surprising, this is Cloudsdale after all. So I was the only unicorn there, but that doesn’t matter. I stopped caring what they think, yet really the only ponies that really gave me any trouble about my race were those three flankholes, Dumbbell, Hoops, and Score. After that was over we all went back to the house, Rainbow yawned and told us that she was going to bed. When she left, her father turned to me and said, “I overheard you two talking earlier.” “You did.” “Yeah, and to let you know I don’t have any problems with you or the fact that you were created by Discord.” “Really?” He nodded, “All I care about is that you make my little Dashie happy. Which I can tell you’re doing a good job at that, just by seeing the way she looks at you. I haven’t seen her that happy since she got home from flight camp and showed her mother and I her cutie mark.” After he said that he got a crestfallen look on his face. “Are you okay?” “Yeah, I’m fine. I just miss her so much. To think it’s been almost 8 years since she passed away.” “Well from what I heard from Rainbow, she sounded like a great mare.” “Yeah, she was, and it’s amazing how much Dashie is like her. You know what you kinda remind me of a younger version of myself, but I’m just judging that on how nervous you were acting. I don’t blame you though, if what you think what you said to me was stupid, you don’t even want to know what I told Firefly’s parents when I first met them.” We both started laughing. ______________________________________________________________________________ The next morning after the three of us had breakfast, we exchanged gifts. Rainbow gave me a box set of books based off of Science the Hunting, I got her a framed poster from the very first Wonderbolts air show, it wasn’t cheap, but hey I had extra money from not having to pay for her wedding bracelet, the gift that Rainbow got for her father was one of those soda machines, he seemed to like it, then he told us what his gift to us was, we were surprised. “I’m going pay for your wedding.” “Dad are you sure about that?” Rainbow asked. “Of course I am.” he responded. “It’s a nice thing to offer, but you really don’t have to.” I tell him. “Yeah you should save up for retirement or something?” Rainbow added. “You calling me old? I’m not a day over 50, young lady.” “We’ll if you’re sure then we can’t thank you enough.” I tell him. “Your welcome.” He then, to my surprise, hugged me. “You’re going to be a good husband for my little filly, I can tell.” “Thanks Color. It’s okay if I call you Color right?” “Of course it is, you are my future son-in-law after all.” ______________________________________________________________________________ Awhile later Rainbow and I left and returned home. Rainbow gave a cocky smile at me and said, “I told you so.” > Meet the Elements > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meet the Elements *note this chapter takes place in between Lesson Zero and Luna Eclipsed* I wake up against the same tree I fell asleep under the previous night. After eating a couple of the apples I bought from that farmer Applejack yesterday, and taking a bath in a nearby river, (hey when you’re homeless you have to make due with what you have), picked up the the last of my apples and my (stolen) money bag with my magic, and began to walk into town. Come to think of it I’ll probably need a saddlebag, so I don’t have to use any magic to carry my stuff like this. Yet, where would I even find saddlebags? Maybe I’ll ask somepony after I go to the... “Hiya!” Exclaimed a mare that suddenly appeared right in front of me. I jump back in surprise, then I noticed what she looked like, she was a pink earth pony with a poofy mane of a darker shade of pink, blue eyes, and a cutie mark of three balloons, two blue, one yellow. I saw her yesterday, but had no interaction with her. She was Pinkamena Diana Pie, the element of laughter, she also was looking at me with a huge grin, “Ooo, I never seen you before, and if I never seen you before that means you’re new, I mean you must be new because I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville. I just love meaning new ponies, if only I had my waggon on me right now, but it’s being fixed after I put batter in the confetti cannon. Oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself sorry. *giggle* I’m Pinkie Pie, Ponyville’s number one party planner and the Cake’s top baker, yet I’m the only one, other than them, and they’re really, really good at it. Anyways, what’s your name?” “Uhhh...” Is what I said before being interrupted. “Wait, wait, wait. Let me guess it, I love guessing games.” She tapped her chin and made a hmmm, “Dark Night? Black Shade? Midnight Star? Nyx? Disarray? Gary Stu?” “No, my name is Seth.” “Seth? Aww, that’s nowhere near as cool as the others.” “Whatever.” I said as I tried to walk away, but she just seemed to teleport right back in front of me, but she’s an earth pony, so that’s impossible. “Wait don’t go. You’re a new pony so I have to throw you a party! Or are mad at me for making fun of you name. I’m sorry.” She said in a sad tone, and her mane seemed to deflate like a balloon and went completely straight. “Oh no, I’m not mad. Sure a party sounds fun, but I’m kinda busy. I need to buy some saddlebags and then I’m going to the library. So when I have some free time you can host that welcoming party, if you want.” “So when you’re not so busy, I can throw you a party?” “That is what I just said isn’t it?” “Yeah, *giggle* it is.” Her mane puffed back up, “Okie, dokie, lokie, then Sethy. Oh is it okay if I call you Sethy? I like the sound of that. Sethy Seth Seth Sethy Seth Seth Sethy Sethy Sethy Seth.” “Sure knock yourself out.” She began to bounce off, but I remembered to ask her something. “Hey, uhh... Pinkie?” She stopped from her bouncing in mid-air and slowly floated back down. (What the buck?) She turned back to me and said, “Yes Sethy?” “Do you know where I get some saddlebags? I honestly don’t know.” “Oh, you can get one from my friend Rarity. She makes personalized saddlebags for everypony in town. You can find the at her dress shop, the Carousel Boutique. It’s a building that looks like a carousel, you can’t miss it.” She then continued to bounce off. So I walked through town looking for this “Carousel Boutique”, but I wasn’t paying too much attention to anything, but that so I bumped right into somepony, and we both fell back. I quickly got up to see who it was. She was a light yellow pegasus, with a pink mane, and three pink butterflies for a cutie mark. Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness. She was on the ground with her hooves over her face, like she was expecting me to mug her or something. “Ummm... I’m sorry miss. Do you want me to help you up?” I ask her, not knowing what else to say. She uncovers her face and revealing her light blue eyes. “Oh umm... N-No I’m fine.” She gets up, and dusts off her coat a bit. “So, I’m Seth. What’s your name?” Yeah I already know from this preplanted information Discord apparently gave me, but I don’t want to look suspicious. “I-I’m Fluttershy.” I could barely hear her, but pretended like I did, “Fluttershy? That’s a nice name.” “T-Thanks.” She then quickly ran off. I wonder what her problem was. Am I scary or something? Nopony else seems to think so. I shrugged this off and went on with looking for the dress shop for a saddlebag. ______________________________________________________________________________ After about ten minutes of searching I found the building I was looking for, which to me the building looked kinda creepy. It looks like a bunch of ponies with rods impaled through them. Just seems a little bit disturbing, but who knows I may just have a sick mind. I walk in to see two young fillies, who looked like they were waiting for somepony. “Ugh, how long does it take Sweetie Belle to brush her teeth? It’s just a waste of time if you ask me.” Said the first, a orange pegasus with a magenta mane. “Scootaloo, are you saying you don’t brush yours?” Responded the second, a yellow earth pony with a red mane that had a big pink bow in it. “No, I don’t.” “Ewww.” “What’s the big deal?” Before the conversation continued a third filly, a white unicorn with a purple and pink mane, came out from another room, “Okay girls I’m ready.” “Finally.” The pegasus said, “So Apple Bloom, is Winnonia ready?” “Eeyup.” Her earth pony said. “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS PET GROOMERS YAY!” They all shouted before they all ran out. I stood there slightly confused, and then the voice of a mare snapped me out of it. “Don’t mind my little sister and her friends. They’re just excited to try to their cutie marks. You know fillies at that age, so full of energy.” I turned to it to see a white unicorn mare with a purple mane, blue eyes, and three diamonds as a cutie mark. Rarity, the element of Generosity. “Uh... sure.” I said. “Greeting darling, I am Rarity, the owner of this magnificent boutique. So what can I do for a handsome stallion like you today? Do you want some casual wear? A dashing suit? Or just something to impress that one special mare?” She said that last one fluttering her eyelashes. Wait, is she hitting on me? Nah, she’s probably just trying to flatter me. Besides I’m a spawn of Discord, like I’d be in a relationship with one of the wielders of the Elements. I just politely say to her, “No I’m just looking for some saddlebags.” “You sure? Because with a wonderfully dark coat like that I have so much to exparament with. I mean, how often do you see a pony with a black coat? This may seem out of the blue, but would you model for me?” “Yeah, sorry, but I rather not.” “Please.” “No.” “Please.” “No. “Please, please, please.” “No, no, no.” “Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...” “Please stop.” “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...” “That’s getting kinda annoying.” “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...” “Ugh! Fine! I try on some clothes, but in exchange I want those saddlebags I want for free.” She smiled and said, “I knew you’d agree to do it.” So as she sewed bit of cloth together for me to try on, she asked me a few basic questions. “So what’s your name, darling?” “It’s Seth.” “Oh, well it’s my pleasure to met you Seth. So where are you from?” Crap! I didn’t think of a fake backstory to tell anypony! Think Seth think.! Just name a random town!, “Umm.. I’m from... Cloudsdale?” “Cloudsdale? But, you’re a unicorn.” Buck! “Umm... I meant to say, Detrot. Sorry I guess I’m way out of it today.” I said with a nervous laugh. “Oh, okay then. So what brings you to Ponyville?” “I just kinda showed up here.” ______________________________________________________________________________ So after a few hours of trying out several suits for Rarity I left with some new dark purple saddlebags. Now I had one place to go. The library. I made my way to the tree building and let myself in, public place, so I can. I walked in to see the purple and green baby dragon I met yesterday sweeping and at the table with her face deep into a book was a light purple unicorn mare, with a violet mane that had a lighter purple and a pink streak in it. She had purple eyes and what looked like a six-pointed pink star with little white stars around it for a cutie mark. I knew that this was Twilight Sparkle, Celestia’s personal student and the wielder of the Element of Magic. The dragon, who’s name if I remember correctly is Spike, turned to me, “Oh hi, uhhh.. Beth was it, right?” “It’s Seth actually, hi.” I respond. The mare picked her head up and said, “Oh, hello. My name is Twilight Sparkle.” “I know.” “You do?” Crap, not again. “Uhh... Yeah, I mean, you’re Princess Celestia’s personal student, and you’ve saved Equestria twice, so you’re kinda famous.” Please fall for this, please fall for this. She smiled and said, “Oh, well I couldn’t do that without my friends, but thank you.” She stood up and said, “So can I help you find anything today?” “Yeah, I’m looking for a spell book, preticularly one with a spell of stone formation.” “Hmm.. I think I may know a spell like that.” She levitated a thick brown book from a nearby shelf. “I think it’s somewhere in here, but you’ll have to look.” I took it with my magic, “Thanks, umm... do you mind if I read it here?” “Of course not.” She said smiling. I sat down at the same table and began to read. > Daring Do Vs. Batcolt > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daring Do vs. Batcolt Spike and I were in the middle of the park, I was reading from a spell book, as a small crowd started t from around us. “Okay, this seems easy enough to do, so you ready to settle this?” I ask Spike. “Oh yeah, and after this you’re so going to owe me five bits.” He said. “We’ll about that.” I said as I shot a beam from my horn, then images started to play, kinda like a movie. _____________________________________________________________________________ *Note: Seth's text is in purple, and Spike's is in green.* _____________________________________________________________________________ In the world of fiction there are many great heroes, that inspire us and we look up to. Like Daring Do, the world famous adventurer... ...and Batcolt, the guardian of the night. He’s Seth, and I’m Spike. And it’s our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle. ______________________________________________________________________________ Daring Do Type: Pegasus Special Talent: Adventuring Occupation: Treasure Hunter Adventurous, fierce, and undeniably, unquestionably, unstoppable Has great natural sense of direction Wears a explorer’s hat and dark olivine shirt Seems to always be able find a vine to swing on whenever she really needs one Daring Do is a world renowned explorer and archaeologist. She spends most of her time in the Feline Jungle, raiding lost temples. Yet, unlike some other explorers, like her rival Ahuizotl, she doesn’t keep these treasures for herself, and tends to give them to museums. As a pegasus pony Daring Do is, of course, able to fly, yet tends to say on the ground more, and when she does fly, her abilities are basically average. Despite that on her hooves she is quite fast and agile. Being able to outrun or dodge almost any danger that comes her way or work with whatever environment she’s in. Even when she can’t, she’s a master escape artist, and has so far been able to get out of all death traps she’s been put in. Yet, that is also because she is a quick thinker and also has an I.Q. of 175, making her a genius. She carries a whip with her, that she can use with great skill. She can easily disarm somepony, pull down stuff like pillars, and use it to swing on whenever she can’t use her wings and there are no vines to be found. She doesn’t have many other weapons, but she can use her hat for defence. It’s thick enough to stop arrows. Which has save her life more times than you’d think it would. She dealt with practically every known species. From Griffons to Diamond Dogs, and Changelings to whatever the hay Ahuizotl is suppose to be. This is one adventure you don’t want to get in the way of. “Another day, another dungeon.” ______________________________________________________________________________ Batcolt Real Name: Bruce Mane Type: Earth Pony Special Talent: Detective Work Occupation: Head of Mane Industries. Net worth is 6.9 billion bits Orphan Has 12 Master’s Degrees The dark knight is a master of the shadows, using intimidation as a weapon, he patrols the streets of Clopham City. You know you’re doing something right when ponies are afraid of just your shadow. After his parents were murdered right in front of him by a common thug, Bruce Mane dedicated his life to fighting criminals. He’s studied 127 fighting styles and perfected escape artistry. Like Daring Do he can get out of any trap. He has pushed the limit of the pony body, and has great aim and reflexes. The batsuit was designed to be the ultimate flexible combat armor. While the pointy ears are a bit much for me. The armor can stop knives and arrows. His cape can also be used as a glider. That’s not all the gadgets from Mane’s never-ending funds, his utility belt has dozens of different tools that can get him out of any situation. Proving that money is the best superpower. Some of his tools include a grappling hook, smoke bombs, and his famous batarangs. Which is has many types of, from the regular razor sharp ones to electric and explosive. Yet, his greatest skills are his skills as a detective, and he’s able to predict a foe’s movement. While he has no weaknesses that can be taken advantage of, he’s not perfect, and his mental state is questionable. Lets see, his parents were killed right in front of him as a foal, he uses his money to fight crime dressed as a giant bat, and keeps hiring 12 year old sidekicks. Yeah, he’s clearly not all there. Doesn’t matter he’s the Celestia damn Batcolt. “I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batcolt!” ______________________________________________________________________________ Alright, the combatants are set! Let’s end this debate once and for all! IT’S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE! ______________________________________________________________________________ Deep in the jungle a certain dark yellow pegasus scanned the area for her opponent. That’s when a bat-shaped boomerang landed right in front of her hooves, sticking out of the ground. Then a grey earth pony wearing a black armored suit, and cape jumped out of the shadows. FIGHT! Daring Do took out her whip and cracked it right at Batcolt, who blocked it with his foreleg, and the whip wrapped around said leg. Both fighters pulled on their ends of the whip in a tug of war, trying to take it away from the other. Daring Do even took to the air, but that didn’t help much. Even so she kept biting down on the handle. Seeing that it was a stalemate, Batcoil took out one out his batarangs and quickly cut the whip. Daring Do still pulling, spun out backwards. After she recovered, she flew down to dive bomb the stallion. Seeing the attack coming, Batcolt took a smoke pellet out of his belt and smashed it on the ground surrounding himself in a smokescreen. Daring Do stopped and flapped her wing furiously to blow away the smoke, which revealed that the masked vigilante was gone. Daring looked around, trying to spot where he could of gone. Then another batarang was coming right at her head, She closed her wings, landing on the ground, and making the batarang stick in a nearby tree. She smile, until she heard beeping. Suddenly the batarang blow up, making the tree come down where she was standing. Daring Do rolled out of the way, the tree missing her by inches. Daring turned to the direction from where that batarang came from, and rushed into the jungle looking for her opponent. She came out from the other side of the trees to see a large temple. Daring slowly smiled, but then remembered the task at hoof, though she made a mental note to check it out later. The next thing she knew she was socked in the face by Batcolt. She recoiled, almost falling over. She glared at the earth pony, and spat out some blood. The adventurer jumped onto the superhero, and the started exchanging blow for blow. Daring was coming out worse for wear, so she grabbed onto Batcolt and took off into the air. Batcolt tried to struggle, getting his forelegs around one of her wings. He then started bending it till the was an audible snap sound. Daring Do let out a moan of pain as she started to descend into a crash landing. Which Batcolt was able to free himself from her grip and used his glider-cape to land safly on the ground. Daring landed hard on her side, but was able to get back up. Right as she did, more batarangs were thrown at her. Even with the pain of a broken wing she still dodged them all. She started looking around, and with her usual luck, was able to find a nearby vine. She ran right at it, and jumped up, wrapping her forelegs around it. She swung around, come back to drop kick Batcolt, making him roll a few feet away. As he was getting up, Daring Do let go of the vine, ran right at him, turned 180 degrees, and bucked him right in the face, sending him back even more. As she tried to repeat this, Batcolt smashed another smoke pellet on the ground, shrouding himself in the smoke. Daring Do, unable to blow it away like last time just ran right into the smoke cloud, hoping to capture her opponent. She ended up hitting nothing, but the air. Suddenly there was a sharp pain across her throat, the smoke cleared, and Daring Do fell to the ground, bleeding from the jugular. Batcolt stood not far away holding a batarang in his mouth that’s tip dripped with the blood of his pegasus opponent. K.O. ______________________________________________________________________________ Darn it! Daring Do and Batcolt were practically even when it came to their reflexes, so I came down to their arsenals, which put Daring at a disadvantage. Her whip don’t serve her well, since Cat Mare uses a whip as well, and Barcolt has dealt with flying opponents before, so this was nothing new. After all she tried had failed, she resorted to just blunt attacks, which didn’t really help her. The second she ran into that smoke cloud, and was unable to see it was all over. Batcolt stayed hidden in the smoke and slit her throat. I guess Daring Do wasn’t cut throat enough. The winner is Batcolt ______________________________________________________________________________ The spell disappeared and Spike and I noticed that the crowd of other ponies had at least tripled. It was silent for a few seconds, and then they exploded in cheers. Some even shouted suggestions. “Celestia vs. Luna!” “No, Goatku vs. Superstallion!” One even shouted “Seth vs. Spike”, for some reason. I turned to my dragon coworker and said, “Well, do you wanna give them what they want?” “Sure.” He responded. “You still owe me five bits, since I was right about Batcolt.” “How about we do that you vs. me one, double or nothing?” “Deal.” > Magic vs. Technology > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Magic vs. Technology I was at my job in the library, putting away some books that were returned today when something unexpected happened. “Sup bro?” somepony with a voice I knew all too well said to me. I turned my head to face her. Surely enough, it was exactly who I expected it to be, my sister, Screwball. “Oh hi sis, what’s up?” I responded “I just finished my battle suit.” “Oh, that’s cool.” “And I was wondering, if it wasn’t any trouble, if you could help me test it out.” “You want me to pilot it?” I asked, slightly confused as to what she meant. “Oh no,” She replied, waving her hoof around. “You’re too big to fit in it.” I raise an eyebrow at that. “Are you calling me fat?” I asked. “No,” She deadpanned. “I’m saying that you don’t really have the body of a mare.” “Oh, I see. So exactly what do you want me to do then?” “I want you to fight me.” I could swear I felt my jaw drop through the floor. It took me a moment before I could respond. “Umm... What?” “You heard me. You vs. Me. Brother vs. Sister. Stallion vs. Mare. Spawn vs. Spawn. Magic vs. technology!” “Ummm... okay,” I respond after a few moments. “But when? I mean it’s Wednesday so I really can’t right now because I have to work, and I’m busy Saturday ‘cause I promised to take Rainbow to see that new Johnneigh Cage movie. So... Sunday go for you?” She tapped her chin with her hoof. “That will give me some time to give it a paint job. Sure.” ______________________________________________________________________________ That Sunday, I walked out to an open field on the outskirts of the Everfree forest, where Screwball and I had told me to meet her. Rainbow and Twilight decided to come along and watch. “So, you’re really going to fight your own sister?” Twilight asked me. “Well, she said she wanted to test out her armor this way, and I know how much this armor means to her, so yeah I am. Besides, it’s just a sparring match. We won’t be trying to hurt each other too badly.” “You’re not worried are you?” Rainbow asked. “No, not at all. Though I did have a weird dream last night where I turned into an alicorn, dyed my mane red, and everypony hated me for some reason. Twilight you’re my therapist, does that mean anything?” “I don’t think so,” She responded, with a slightly confused look on her face. Eventually after some more talking we arrived. Screwball arrived just after we did. Her friends, Colgate and Berry Punch were also there. “Hey sis, Rainbow and Twi are here to watch,” I said. “That’s cool, I brought some of my friends too.” she said, pointing her hoof at Berry and Colgate. While Screwball began to put on her armor, I talked with her friends a little. I hadn’t really had the chance to talk them that much before, but they seemed nice. Eventually, somepony else I wasn’t expecting arrived. She was a white unicorn with an unkempt mane that was a mixture of both dark blue and a shade of lighter blue in color, a musical note for a cutie mark, and wore a pair of purple sunglasses that covered her eyes. She was of course, Vinyl Scratch. A.K.A DJ Pon-3. She walked right up to me stared at me for a bit. “You look familiar,” She said while still staring, “Oh, I got it now! You’re that guy who walked in on Tavi and I while we were having a little fun.” She made a half smile, “I never got to ask, did you like what you saw?” That was when I said the most witty response to anything ever. “Uhhhh...” The D.J just giggled. “I’ll take that as a yes. Maybe if you’re not too hurt after this you can join in this time.” That’s when Rainbow flew in her face. “You’re not getting any piece of my stallion!” she practically screamed at her. Vinyl just shrugged. “Fine, we can have a foursome.” Then Rainbow gave her best response to that. “Uhhhh...” I could swear her face was an exact copy of mine. I decided that it would be best to change the subject, lest this situation become any more awkward than it already was. “So what are you here for?” I asked her. “Well, your sis here asked me to play some epic battle music while you two duke it out, and in exchange I’m getting a 50% discount on a little order I made.” Vinyl replied. Screwball quickly turned around the second those words were said. “What in tartarus are you smoking?” she asked Vinyl. “What do you mean?” “I said 15%, not 50%.” “How about 30%?” “No.” “25%?” “No.” “20%?” Screwball tapped her chin. “Fine.” “Awwwww yeeeeeah! Bass Cannon you will soon be mine!”. I was ready enough when Screwball turned to me in her armor. She did a good job on the paint. She mostly painted it a metallic, dark purple, but the face area of the helmet and the areas up to the hooves remained an unpainted silver. Rainbow, Twilight, Colgate and Berry sat at a safe distance away with Vinyl and her equipment. Vinyl looked at us both as she levitated the needle on record “Let’s get this beatdown started!!!” She practically screamed as the music started playing. ______________________________________________________________________________ Right as the first beat of the music hit, I used my invisibility spell to make it seem like I vanished into thin air. Once I was gone I stored same energy into my horn. After a few seconds I shot it some distance away from Screwball and I. My shadow left my body and followed it. ‘Hopefully she’ll think I’m teleporting and fall for the distraction.’’ I thought to myself as I looked at the armored earth pony and who started charging what I can only assume was some kind of pulse blast for the magically sprite stones at the bottom of the hooves. So that’s what she needed them for. Then there was a flash of light where I shot the energy at, and she shot the pulse blast towards it. A light blue ball of energy flew from her hooves at the shadow puppet that and hit it. The resulting impact caused a large explosion that knocked some dust into the air. As she watched the cloud of dust, I spawned a hammer and ran at her. She turned her head in my direction only to come face to face with the hammer, and I struck her right in the head. She didn’t have any time at all to react to it, and got sent back a few feet back from the blow and fell to the ground. I turned off the invisibility spell as she looked at my direction. “Come on sis,” I said with a cocky grin on my face, “Even with that fancy armor, you’re no match for magic?” “Well technically my suit is powered by magic,” She respond. “Well I’m magicier!” I shouted as I channeled some lightning through my horn, which I then shot right at her. She rolled out of the way just before it hit her. Once she was clear of the blast, she quickly jumped back to her hooves, flew forward and punched me right in the face. I stumbled back a bit, but didn’t fall over. I had to admit though, her suit packed quite a punch, literally. I then use my magic to take some rocks up from the ground. She flew up several feet into the air to get away from me, so I threw one at her. It just barely missed her head. Not about to let that go, I picked up about half a dozen more rocks right as she looked down at me. I threw three at her, but she evaded them. That didn’t stop me though, as I just threw some more. After I missed four shots in a row, I teleported up to a cloud that was overhead. Thank Celestia I always had the cloudwalking spell on or this wouldn’t have worked. I saw her as she looked around and I chucked one of the rocks I had, actually hitting her this time. She spun out a little, but quickly managed to recover. I then saw that she took notice of the single grey cloud above her, the one I was on. She flew upwards and made her way towards it. I threw my two remaining rocks at her. The first one missed, while the second one just merely scraped one of the legs. I then began to store up the magical energy form my body and up to my horn for a blast of pure magic. The second she flew through the cloud I shot it at her just as she shot a double pulse blast at me. The moment to two blasts hit, they caused a large explosion. The resulting shockwave pushed me off the cloud and I lost consciousness during the freefall. ______________________________________________________________________________ I opened my eyes to see Rainbow hovering above me. “Are you okay?” she asked in a concerned tone. I got up and brushed some dirt off of my coat. “Yeah I’m fine.” I said to her, though I was a little sore from the fall, also my face did hurt a little when she punched me. “You know I love you to death, but sometimes you can be dumber than a bag of hammers.” Rainbow said, crossing her forelegs. “Oh come on beautiful, I’ve been through way worse and you know it.” It was then that I noticed Screwball walking up to us without her helmet. “Good match sis. So, I guess we’ll call it a draw.” “Yeah, a draw,” she said with a smile. ______________________________________________________________________________ Afterwords Twi, Rainbow and I began to walk back to Ponyville. “Well that was interesting to see.” Twilight said, “She was able to stand up to you with ease. I hope that she has good intentions with that suit.” “I’m sure she does,” I responded, “Even if she didn’t, since we were pretty much even I’m not sure that I could beat her, but I’m sure the elements of harmony can take care of her. Hell, I’m sure they’d also be able take me down too?” “Huh?” Rainbow asked. “Well, after that incident with The Voice, I’ve been wondering. What if I actually turned evil for some reason? If that ever did happen, I would trust that you gals would be able to stop me. Come to think of it, I’m sure Twilight could handle me by herself. I’m going to be honest Twi, you’re the last pony I’d ever want to fight by myself, because I know I’d lose.” “I’m not sure how I should feel about that,” Twilight stated, her face showed that she didn’t know how to react to that. “Take it as you may,” I said as we made our way back to town. > First Comes Love > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- First Comes Love By: KenSES64 I was by the desk looking at a checklist. A checklist of preparations for a certain big event that was happening Tomorrow. Why? Because tomorrow is April 16th, and on that day, I’ll be getting married to somepony who is the fastest flier in all of Equestria, a future wonderbolt, and the most beautiful mare in the world, Rainbow Dash. “Okay, so we have the cake. Vinyl’s doing the music for the reception. We have the drinks for the open bar. Rarity’s making the dress and my suit. Fluttershy agreed to take care of Tank while we’re on our honeymoon.” I read aloud to myself as Rainbow flew up next to me and looked at the checklist. “Is the list really necessary?” She asked. “Of course, beautiful,” I respond, “I’ve told you before that I want this to be as special for you as possible. I mean, after the crappy proposal I gave you on my birthday, you deserve it.” She smiled a little and said, “And I told you it doesn’t matter to me, and besides I didn’t mind the fact that you were drunk when you did it, I was tipsy too you know.” She then leaned forward to give me a peck on the nose. “But, I appreciate the effort. Now come on, don’t we need to go and met up with Cadence, Shining, Steel and Light?” “Oh, of course.” ______________________________________________________________________________ We left our house to met up with the before mentioned ponies. Along the way we ran into Twilight and Pinkie. Not far from the train station, a chariot being pulled by two pegasi dressed in armor landed with the royal couple in the back. Not to my surprise, Cadence and Twilight ran up to each other to do their little hello. “Sunshine, Sunshine! Ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!” Shining gave the two guardponies a salute, which they returned before they flew off. I walked up to him, “Hey Shining, how’ve you been?” “Good. Helping the Crystal Empire prepare for the Equestria Games, you know. How about you?” “Not much as of late.” “Ah, okay. So, Steel and Light are showing up too?” “Well, they should be arriving soon, but who knows, their train may be late. Also, my friend The Doctor might show up to the bachelor party if he’s not too busy with some wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.” Shining Armor tilted his head a little at that, “Umm... What?” “Nevermind.” Not too long after, the remaining ones we were waiting for came from the station. A pegasus, a unicorn, and a changeling. “Hey Shiny! Hey Seth!” Light Arrow greeted as he flew up to us while Steel and his wife, Copy Cat, walked behind. Granted this isn’t the same Copy Cat that helped us against Chrysalis and Drez, but hey, we kinda knew her because of that. Steel turned to her and asked, “So, you’ll be fine while I’m at the party?” Cat just let out a small sigh and said, “Well, I guess I can find something to do.” That’s when Pinkie Pie seemed to just appear by them with her arm around Copy Cat, “Oh don’t worry Catty, I’m sure Dashie won’t mind you and Cadence coming to her bachelorette party. Right Dashie?” Rainbow just shrugged, “Sure, I’m cool with it.” It was then that Light Arrow took notice of Pinkie Pie and landed right next to her, “Well, hello there.” he said smiling. “Oh hiya! I don’t think we’ve met before, oh wait I met another you for that other universe, but I don’t think you would know about that. Anyways I’m Pinkie Pie! What’s your name?” “I’m Light Arrow. You have a really pretty name, perfect for a pretty mare.” Pinkie just giggled, “Thanks.” Steel just rolled his eyes and said, “Cool your jets Poneo.” Light gave him a slight glare. When he turns back to where Pinkie was, she was suddenly back over with the other mares. Light got a look of confusion at how she moved so quickly, but for myself, in the time I’ve come to know Pinkie Pie, it’s best to not question anything she does. Not long after, the two groups of stallions and mares went their separate ways. They were off to Sugarcube Corner while we were off to a local bar that was simply called Berry’s. Yes, it’s owned by my sister’s friend, Berry Punch, ironic considering what I know about her now. She’s a recovering alcoholic. When we arrived there, I heard a strange, but familiar sound. I turned in the direction it was coming from to see a blue box appearing in a alleyway. Once it had fully appeared, a brown earth pony wearing a lime green tie stepped out. He looked around a bit before he noticed the four of us and he made his way over to us. “Hi, Doctor.” I greeted. “Good to see you see you again Seth. So who are these gentlemen? I’m sorry, I meant gentlecolts.” The Doctor said. “Oh. Doctor, these are my friends Shining Armor, Steel Wall and Light Arrow. Guys, this is The Doctor.” “Doctor?” Light asked, “Doctor who?” The Doctor gave a bit of a nervous chuckle at that, not answering the question. “So anyways, should we head in?” Steel asked. “Sure.” I responded. ______________________________________________________________________________ Once inside the bar, we all sat down and ordered our drinks. Light held up his hoof for a bit and said, “Huh, this the third bachelor party I’ve been to... I’m not sure where I’m going with this... Anyways, despite how much I enjoy these, I know I’m not going to have one of my own.” “Why’s that?” I asked. “I just don’t see the point in tying yourself down to one mare. You can’t look at or talk to any other mares, she’ll always want to talk about things you don’t care about, and eventually you’ll have to deal with what’s coming up for Steel here. The scariest thing ever.” “A zombified Slendermare with an army of bees?” “What? No. A foal.” “Wait, what does he mean by, ‘what coming up for you’?” I asked Steel. The grey unicorn just smiled and said, “Well, about a week ago, Cat was throwing up and had the strangest craving for fear, and well, I’m going to be a dad.” “Congratulations man!” I exclaimed, “Wait, ponies and changeling can reproduce?” “I guess so.” He said, “Though, I wonder what the little one will look like. A pony? Changeling? Maybe traits from both?” Light got a smirk on his face, “Well she’s a bug, maybe there’ll be more than one. Maybe she’ll lay eggs.” Steel looked like he was about two seconds away from punching his friend, “No. I mean yes, changelings are technically insects, but they do have mammalian trains in them too, so yeah, no eggs or larvae.” That’s when our drinks arrived. Not wanting to stay on the topic of whatever Steel’s wife was going to giving birth to, I turned to The Doctor and asked, “So Doc, hows Ditzy been?” The Doctor took a sip of his banana daiquiri and said, “She’s good. Been spending some time with her daughter since she got free form that voice thing. I honestly didn’t even know she was a mother.” Steel practically froze right there. Shining nudged him a bit, “Umm... Steel are you okay?” He then snapped back into focus, “Huh? Sorry, I was just remembering being part of that thing.” Knowing that The Voice was a part of myself, I asked, “If you don’t mind me asking, what was it like?” Steel sighed and downed the rest of his drink before continuing, “It’s hard to explain. It felt like my whole body was asleep, but at the same time couldn’t really tell where my body was. Though, I was able to see and hear everything it saw and heard. Including your fight with it.” He got silent for a second, “I have to ask you. When you killed the voice and freed us all, how did you know that would work and not take all of us with it?” I just looked down and simply said, “I didn’t.” “Oh... well hey, it worked so that’s what’s important in the end.” “Yeah, I guess so.” ______________________________________________________________________________ Some time later, after a few drinks, I walked over to something that I noticed in the bar. It was this arcade machine type thing with a screen, two speakers and two sets of arrows on the floor that pointed forward, back, left, and right. I turned to Berry Punch, who was behind the bar table and asked, “Hey, Berry, what is this thing?” She waved her hoof and said, “Oh, it’s just some game I had installed, you can try it out if you want.” So I stepped onto one of the pads, put a bit into the coin slot and set everything up. Within moments music started playing, arrows began to appear on the screen and I stepped on the direction they indicated. Also... well, this is a little embarrassing, but I started singing along with the song. Stamp on the ground Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump Moving all around Tep tep da dow Stamp on the ground Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump Moving all around We're jumping all around Düp düp düp düp düp ...

Jumping all around DROP THE BEAT Jumping all around Düp düp düp düp düp ... Jumping all around When I finished, and saw that my score was well, low, I heard some chuckling coming from behind me. I turned around to see the guys right as they all burst into full on laughter. Light Arrow even fell to the floor from laughing so hard. I just shrugged and said, “Well hey, I had fun with it.” Shining caught his breath and said, “Yeah, but the fact that you were singing made it too funny.” “Oh come on, ponies break into song all the time, yet nopony knows why.” My defence didn’t help me. ______________________________________________________________________________ Afterwards we all went our separate ways. The Doctor went back into The TARDIS, Shining said that he and Cadence were staying at the library with Twilight, and I think Steel mentioned that he, Copy Cat and Light were all staying in a motel for the night. I walked home, well, more like teleported up to it and walked through the front door. The second I closed it however, I had a hoof wrapped around my head and a pair of lips pressed up against mine. When said lips departed from mine, I was face to face with Rainbow Dash giving me bedroom eyes and swirling her hoof on my chest. She just smiled and said, “You come here often handsome?” I could smell the alcohol, and some apples, and some cupcakes, along with many other things, in her breath. I decided to play along, “Yeah, I’m familiar with this place. What’s a fine mare like yourself doing here?” “Trying to have some fun.” She said with a wink, “So, my bed or yours?” “Doesn’t matter to me.” It really didn’t matter considering we share a bed. “Okay, but don’t keep me up too late, I’m getting married tomorrow.” I smiled and said, “As am I.” ______________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I was in the library putting on my suit. It was a new one, complete with a shiny purple jacket, a white undershirt and red tie. I looked at myself in the mirror as Twilight, who I asked to be my best mare, walked up to me, “So are you nervous?” she asked. “Of course I am,” I said in response. “I’m getting married. I wish I can see how Rainbow looks in her dress. Stupid bad luck superstitions.” “It’s not for much longer, just be a little patient.” “Fine, mom.” I said with a sarcastic huff. Twi rolled her eyes, “You know, for a stallion who’s getting married, you don’t seem to be acting your own age.” “I’m one.” I deadpaned. “You know what I meant.” Then we heard the front door open. We both turned to see an older blue pegasus stallion with a rainbow colored mane dressed in a black suit. Rainbow’s father, Color Spectrum. “Color!” I exclaim, trotting up to him, “So glad you could make it.” He just smirked and said, “What? You’d think that there would be any way in tartarus I’d miss my own daughter’s wedding? Especially when I’m paying for it.” “I still can’t thank you enough by the way. So, did you say hi to Rainbow yet?” “I’m on my way to do that actually, but I have something for you.” “Really, what?” I asked, curious of what it could be. He took out a box from a his pocket and opened it up. Inside was a golden pin that was in the shape of two wings. “This pin has been in my family for generations. I wore it at my wedding, my father wore it at his, his father wore it at his, and so on and so forth. Anyways I’d like you to have it now.” He held out the box a little more, and I’m sure I saw some small tears in his eyes. “Wow, I don’t know what to say.” “Well, you can say ‘thank you’ and put it on.” “Oh, of course. Thank you sir. It means alot that you’d give me your family heirloom.” “Well, you’re part of my family now, and hey, maybe one day you can pass it on as well.” I levitated the pin out of the box and pinned it onto my jacket. “How does it look?” I asked. “Well, the pin is great, but as for the stallion wearing it... meh I think Dashie could do a little better.” My jaw dropped when he said that, but then he started laughing a put a hoof on my shoulder, “I’m just pulling your leg. I’m sure you’ll make my little filly very happy.” “Thanks.” “Anyways, I best be going to see Dashie.” I smiled and said, “I’ll see you later,” as he walked out. “Oh, wasn’t that a sweet family moment.” A disembodied voice echoed around the room. Then out of nowhere there was a quick blink of light. When it vanished, there was a draconequus standing in the middle of the library. He was wearing a suit that was so eye soring it would make Rarity cry. One half of it was brown with purple zebra stripes while the other half looked like it was was some sort of pink tie dye. He was also wearing a dark purple bow tie, an oversized light blue top hat and a pair of white gloves on his hands. “Hey Dad, how’ve you been?” I asked my creator. “Meh, the same. Tia hasn’t really had me do much, but hey no work and all play makes Discord a happy boy.” “It makes it sound like you’re lazy.” Discord raised a finger, but put it back down saying, “Yeah, I can’t argue with that... I forgot why I came here... Bye.” He then disappeared with a snap of his fingers. “Well, that seemed... um... I don’t even know.” Twilight just shrugged, “Well, I’m going to check up on Rainbow. You’ll be okay here right?” “I used to live here, so yeah.” She then walked out, basically leaving me by myself for about ten minutes until some other ponies came into the library. Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy, all wearing their bridesmaids dresses. “Oh hey guys, whats up?” I ask. “Now look at you sugarcube, y’all look as sharp as a brand new nail.” Applejack said. “Oh, thanks.” I replied before I turned to Rarity, “And thank you for making my suit Rarity.” The fassionista simply nodded and stated, “It was no trouble at all darling. A stallion has to look his best for his wedding. Not better than the bride mind you, but still his best.” Pinkie Pie then jumped up to me and exclaimed, “I can’t believe you and Dashie are getting married. I mean yeah, we knew this would happen for a few months, but It’s still so sweet and exciting. Oh, are you two going to have foals? I bet they would be ssssssoooooooooooooo cute! If you have a filly, could you name her after me?” When she said that, Light’s words, “scariest thing ever” echoed in my head. I could only respond with, “We aren’t planning on something like that until quite sometime from now. So sorry.” I then gave a nervous smile. “Awww.” Pinkie said, sounding slightly disappointed. “Well, I guess theres always someday right.” I smiled and said, “Yeah, someday.” “Umm...” Fluttershy peeped, “I’m glad that you two are so happy together, it’s... nice.” “Thanks,” was all I could think to say in response. “Well, it’s almost time to promise yourself to that speedy pegasus. You ready sugarcube?” Applejack asked. I took a breath, trying to shake off some nerves and said, “Yeah, I’m ready.” ______________________________________________________________________________ In the in center of the town park, not that far from the tree I used to sleep under, I stood at the altar with Twilight by my side, doing her job as best mare. The other four mares were across from us being bridesmaids. Like that was a shock. Between all of us was Princess Celestia, who had agreed to be the one to marry Rainbow and I. I looked throughout the rows of ponies as I waited for Rainbow to come in. Shining Armor and Cadence were seated next to each other. Nearby them were Steel, Copy Cat, and Light. To my slight surprise, Princess Luna was able to make it. In the back row I noticed The Doctor and Ditzy Doo. Finally, in the front row was Screwball, who looked slightly bored, and next to her was the one being here that stood out the most. My creator, Discord, who was now also wearing a pair of purple sunglasses. Then suddenly, I heard “Here Comes the Bride” start to play and my heart began to race knowing that the mare who was going to be my wife was a few seconds from coming down that aisle. Everypony turned their attention to the aisle. First, the Cutie Mark Crusaders went down it acting as flower fillies, and soon after, there she was. Rainbow Dash in her wedding dress, her heading right towards me. I could swear I felt myself die a for a second as my heart stopped beating from seeing her in her dress. Most of it was a normal white, the part over the flank resembled a fluffy cloud. Also, part of the dress that covered her chest had a rainbow pattern. The vail was over her face, but I could see a small blush right through it. Her father walked right beside her, right up to the steps of the altar, and then sat down with the rest of the ponies. Rainbow walked up the steps and turned towards me. Princess Celestia smiled and began, "Rainbow Dash and Setali Depongono le Uvoa di Disarmonia. Today you are surrounded by your friends and family, all of whom have gathered here to witness your marriage and to share in the joy of this special occasion. Today, as you join yourselves in marriage, there is a vast and unknown future stretching out before you. The possibilities and potentials of your married life are great; and now falls upon your shoulders the task of choosing your values and making real your dreams. Through your commitment to each other, may you grow and nurture a love that makes both of you better ponies. A love that continues to give you great joy, and also a passion for living that provides you with the energy and patience to face the responsibilities of life. True marriage is more than joining the bonds of two ponies, it is the union of two hearts. It lives on the love you give each other and never grows old, but thrives on the joy of each new day. Marriage is love. May you always be able to talk things over, to confide in each other, to laugh with each other, to enjoy life together, and to share moments of quiet and peace when the day is done. May you be blessed with a lifetime of happiness and a home of warmth and understanding.” She paused for a moment before looking at me. “Do you, Seth, take Rainbow Dash to be your lawfully wedded wife and sharing your path, equal in love, a mirror for your true self, promising to honor and cherish, through good times and bad, until death do you part?" I smiled at my favorite pegasus and said, “I do.” “And do you, Rainbow Dash, take Seth to be your lawfully wedded husband and sharing your path, equal in love, a mirror for your true self, promising to honor and cherish, through good times and bad, until death do you part?" She looked back at me smiling and said, “I do.” “May we have the rings?” Celestia asked. Spike came up with a bracelet that had a rare rainbow gem on it and a plain golden ring on a pillow. I picked up the bracelet with my magic and slipped it onto her hoof. Rainbow then grabbed the ring and slid it down my horn. "And now, by the power vested in me by the country of Equestria, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the...” Before Princess Celestia could even finish that last part, Rainbow had already pressed her lips against mine, giving me a fully passionate kiss. “...bride.” ______________________________________________________________________________ At the reception, when we cut the cake we both held one piece of it out for each other, but as I expected, Rainbow tried to smash it on my face. I put up a magical barrier, making it fall to the ground and stuck out my tongue. The second I put it down however, she took the piece that I had in my hoof and smashed it on my face. Everypony laughed at that. Later, Rainbow and I were dancing together when a we heard Twilight hit a spoon against a glass cup to get everypony’s attention. “Ach-hm, Hello everypony. I propose a toast to the happy couple. In the time you two have been together, you two have shown us that you really do care deeply for one another, and you future together is looking so bright. Also, Rainbow got Seth out of my house, so that was a plus.” Everypony once again laughed at my expense, but I rolled my eyes. “Oh don’t worry, I’m kidding. Still, I wish you two the best of luck, as long as the flames of your love for each other still burns.” I simply smiled, turned to Rainbow and said, “Oh, there’s no way in tartarus that this fire is going to go out.” Rainbow blushed and gave me another kiss. ______________________________________________________________________________ About 15 minutes after that, I was by myself while Rainbow was chatting with Twilight and Fluttershy when Screwball, with a drink in hoof, came up to me. “HHHHeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy bro. I want to say that I’m soooooo happy for you, you and Rainbow really belong together, you really do.” She said before taking another sip. I raised an eyebrow, “Uhhh... Screwball? Are you drunk?” “Mmmmmaaabbye... yes. What? You have an open bar and I need to make this somewhat interesting.” I gave her a slight glare. “Oh, sorry that I put it like that. I mean, it’s just that I’m not big on these types of things you know, but hey I came here anyways because you’re my brother.” She then gave me a hug, spilling the rest of her drink on the ground, “I hope you two are happy together, and hey maybe one day I may find somepony too.” “And then I can get drunk at your wedding.” I said jokingly. Screwball just laughed a little and then stumbled away. ______________________________________________________________________________ So after many congratulations and good lucks from many ponies, it was almost time for the two of us to be heading off for our honeymoon in Las Pegasus. We stepped aboard the train and waved as it took off. Rainbow threw her bouquet and I saw that it was Ditzy Doo who caught it. She took a quick look at The Doctor, then just as quickly looked away, blushing. Once we were gone, we sat down in the train cart and Rainbow cuddled up to me, resting her head against my chest. I sighed and asked her, “Well, nothing too exciting like a changeling invasion happened, but do you think it was the best wedding ever?” She took her head off of me and asked, “What kind of question is that? Of course it was!” I just smiled and said, “I love you Rainbow Dash.” She smiled back, and I swear I saw a spark in her eyes, “I know. I love you too Seth.” We then sealed it with a kiss. ______________________________________________________________________________ We are Seth Disarmonia and Rainbow Dash.
