>....Honey? Could you come here for a second?

"What is it dear?"

>Um... could you read this line in the paper for me, I want to make sure Two didn't accidentally concuss me again.

"..."

>...

"...That can't be right."

>So, just to clarify, this newspaper does, in fact, say the word 'Princess Appleajck declares blowjobs aren't cheating, signs bill into law'?

"It says that."

>...

"..."

>...Chrysalis?

"No no, that's absurd. Why would Applejack write up a bill for her? Especially one like that. Chrysalis doesn't even benefit from this, our Empire is unaffected."

>I know, it's just... racking my brain trying to figure it out.

"Should we... follow suit? Is this the new 'in' thing? I don't want to not be in the 'in' thing."

>Me either, but the in thing also once accidentally got everyone addicted to mashed up crystals that one time. Let's wait a month or two.

"Or we could just ask Applejack why she did it."

>Are you going to bring this up to her?

"...So, reconvene a month from now?"

>The date is set.

>So....
"So."

(Beat)

>"Are you a dude or a chick?"

"I asked first!"

>Lies! I clearly had the first syllable out before you even opened your mouth!

"Fine, i'm a guy, happy? Now you."

>Yes actually, also a guy.

"Then i have another question, how do you get your mane so fabulous?!"

>I look after my hygiene and visit the barber occasionally?

"It's smooth as silk, smells distinctly of strawberry despite the fact we're the middle of a crowded restaurant and it's literally waving in a nonexistent breeze. Tell me your secret."

>Hypothetically, bribing the maid of a princess to borrow the royal conditioner and then giving said item to your cousins who run a spa on the promise of free gossip may in fact get your mane to wave like this.

"And the rest?"

>...I wanted to make an effort, y'know? Being a royal guard doesn't automatically mean you get people throwing themselves at you.

"Well your effort worked, i'm impressed and little emasculated. All i can do is juggle."

>I like juggling, what say we go to the park after this and you can show me how good you are.

"Only if i get to bury my head in that mane of yours afterwards."

>Deal.

>Sooo, this is going to sound a bit racist-

"AMAZING start."

>-buuuut... you're a mare, right? At the risk of totally offending you, you absolutely look like a female. Very mareish figure.

"..."

>...

"...You are SO fucking lucky you guessed right."

>Nailed it!

"Hey, whoa now! This is ONE date, buddy. Don't jump the gun, or other stuff, till you know what's up."

>It's just a phrase. Soooo, what do you do?

"I... I don't do anything, I just kind of hide in the corner and hope nobody notices me. The only reason I'm here is that my Queen tripped over me on the way out."

>Hah! Happens to me too, hazards of tall royalty.

"...Are you actually interested in the date, or are you just trying to score?"

>...

"..."

>...So is it true you can shift into ANYBODY you wa-

*PLATETOTHEHEAD!*

"...You know, this wasn't a bad date, all things considered."

>I'm bleeding heavily and require medical attention.

"I meant besides that."

>Spike
“Poindexter”
_________

“What’s up, Spike?”

>Nothing much, just-

*BANG*

>-trying to-

*BANG*

>-hit this-

*BANG*

>-target!

*BANG*

>…

“…wow.”

>Laugh and I'll see you trapped in the dungeon on our next game….

“I don’t know whether to laugh or shake my head in shame. You’re telling me you can’t hit that at only fifty yards? What, do you need a scope on your pistol?”

>Oho? Wanna be like that? Okay then.

Spike refilled each chamber slot with a fresh bullet before presenting it to his company.

>You do it. Right there on the bulls-eye.

The look on Poindexter’s face was contemplative, but then he sighed and grabbed the weapon in both hooves only to surprise Spike by setting it down on the desk before them.

>What’re you-

“Just taking away my handicap.”

And Poindexter swept those bandaged glasses from his face, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to sharpen considerably without the intrusion.

“Now then….”

Six gunshots ripped through the air in quick succession and six bullets met their mark.

>I… what the…?

“Fourth bullet didn’t hit precisely dead center like I wanted but yeah, more or less, done.”

>Dude, how did you do that?!

Poindexter set the empty gun down and pulled on his glasses again.

“When the entirety of your life revolves around a computer and the occasional DnD game, you learn to pick up a few hobbies. And sometimes those hobbies lead to odd-jobs. That’s all I’m going to say about it. Oh, but Spike? You might want to get the sights fixed. Leaning just a biiit to the left there.”

>Celestia
“Starswirl”
‘Applejack’
________

~~~Eons Ago~~~

“Celestia! Celestia come quickly!”

>Yes, my dear Starswirl? What's gotten you in such a tizzy?

“I… I saw something in the stars! A message, no... a prediction was written and I’ve only just finished deciphering it.”

>Oh? Well, keep me in suspense no longer. What did you discover?

“The stars weave a most perplexing tale of you appointing an earth pony as a fellow alicorn princess, and that she will bring about brighter days for Equestria as a whole.”

>…

“I know, ‘tis most befuddling.”

>Goodness me, that’s just about the silliest thing I’ve ever heard, dear. Are you positive fatigue from being cooped up on this tower all day has not caught up with you?

“Now see here, you backside heavy mare, I’m telling you what the stars say! And they say-”

>Nonsense. And you are adorable. Come, let us go partake of dinner.

“I’ll give you something to partake of if your mockery of my work persists.”

>Not if you want it reduced to ash. You know how I get.

“…”

~~~Present Day~~~

Celestia glanced out the window to her room, adamantly ignoring the apple-bucking princess behind her slamming down a stack of forms onto the table, forms heavy enough to make the legs bend.

‘Reckon today’s load is way lighter! Should only take us ‘bout eight or ten hours from where Ah’m lookin’, a new record, yeah?’

As Starswirl’s prediction swirled about her head, Celestia could do nothing but cringe at her own impudence towards it. She could have prevented this. All of it. The influx of paperwork, the constant cake cutbacks, actually having to sit down and discuss legal matters with foreign dignitaries, the list went on and on...

>Oh Starswirl, why didn’t I listen…?

‘Eh? Ya say somethin’, ‘Tia?’

>Just that this is all my fault.

‘Well, of course! Now let’s get t’work!’

>I'm just sayin', if you can punch the bad guys, why don't ya' just hug them? They're right there!

"It doesn't work like that, Two."

>It does so! If yer' close enough ta' punch, you can hug them. Don't mess with my logic, 42! I have a mind like a... like a...

"..."

>...like a really, really smart pony!... Like Shiny! That's it, I have a mind like a Shiny! Nailed it!

"Two, some opponents can't be reasoned with, it's just how it is."

>...Okay, maaaaybe that works fer' the robots, they didn't talk a lot and I tried talkin' to them, but they're like the toaster. They don't talk back.

"Exactly. Sometimes, you just need to end them before they get too dangerous."

>By knockin' um out?

"Yes... and possibly more. Sometimes they're so dangerous, they can't be allowed to roam anymore."

>Like Nightmare Moon? She wanted ta' make it night fer'ever. Would'a killed all the flowers, wouldn't it?

"...Well, okay, not her. But others-"

>Liiiike, Discord? He could make a Changeling inta' anything! ANYTHING! That's freaky, and ya' can't stop him!

"...Okay, not HIM either, but he was a special case. He didn't want to hurt anyone, just mess with their heads for entertainment."

>Oh, okay... so Not-Mom? She wanted ta' wipe stuff out, messed with ponies heads, AND hurt someone!

"..."

>...

"...So, hugging, is there a technique to it? Or..."

>Nope. Pretty much jus' gotta grab 'em real tight and give 'em loooots o' love!

"I'll consider it next time I am in battle with a non-robotic foe."

>YAY! I'm helping 42 be awesome!

"...God that's cute."

>Who picked this movie?

"Seriously, this is SOOO BORRRING!"

'Whoever picked the film with subtitles, you have my ire.'

-It's called CULTURE you plebs!-

{Oh, I see, if you call something intelligent, it suddenly makes someone sitting around for five solid minutes thinking to themselves NOT boring. It's all so clear now.}

-It's sophisticated!-

>That pony just spent twenty minutes deciding NOT to do a bank heist. Fantastic, because who wants to see that, right?

-It bucks social norms!-

"Is that what you call that sex scene that was so disjointed we couldn't even see what the hell was happening?"

-It shocks the viewer!-

'There is nothing shocking about a holding shot on a black and white picture of a stuffed rabbit.'

-IT'S DEEP!-

"So deep, I just can't see the end! No matter how much I want to."

'I feel like I'm drowning in all the deep.'

{We're so deep into this, I'm seeing the darkness overtake me.}

>Where has all the light gone? How would I know, I'm at the bottom of all the deep.

-Screw you guys!-

"18, if this is your lead in, I don't think you could turn on a nymphomaniac hopped up on aphrodisiacs."

-UGH!-

'I'm picking the movie next time.'

>...You know, on second thought, it's not so bad.

"Lots of metaphors."

{I like the acting.}

'Oh come on! My stuff isn't that bad!'

>Chrysalis
"2"
~~

>Alright, Cadence is passed out on the couch after staying up too late last night, 42 accidentally poured too much of the good wine and is face down in the hallway, 18 beat her brains in to make the paperwork stop and is unconcious in her office, and I'm pretty sure I accidentally gave Shiny a concussion, and he may or may not remember how to breath by tomorrow...

"...What?"

>I mean, I'm tucking you in tonight!

"YAY! Read me a bedtime story!"

>What, these stories? These stories are so stupid!

"They are not! It's about happy bunnies finding their way home and meeting up with their mommies and daddies!"

>Right, like I said, stupid. I'll tell you a REAL story, my little annoyance. It's called, "the badass Changeling, and the dumb pirates."

"Oooo!"

>It all started long, looong ago. My mo-... er, I mean, Queen Bi-...crud. Uh... Let's call her... Momsie, okay? Her name is Momsie. Momsie was a proud, powerful Queen Changeling, with eyes like fire and hooves that could shatter mountains!

"Wow!"

>Yes, but there was a problem. For all of her greatness, there was one thing she could not do. She could not cross the vast ocean, and move her Changelings to the new land for them to... uh... make better. Right. Make it better. ANYWAY! She decided she would be sneaky, and slunk down into a nearby port town, disguising herself as a simple... barmaid. We're going to say she was a barmaid. And after six days, she eventually found herself a captain, and a ship!

"Why'd it take six days?"

>...Because... Sheee... had to make sure the 'ship' was big enough. Momsie would never settle for a small... 'ship'.

"Ooh! Like the ship Shiny has!"

>...Yes. Exactly that.

"I like it when we vacation on tha' ship, it's so fun!'"

>For you. Back to the story, once Momsie had her ship, she had to fool the captain. After she had talked him up and gotten to know him better, he revealed he was a pirate! A pirate with a special skill, as the worlds finest spice trader.

"Like the stuff ya' put on food?"

>Yes. Exactly that. But Momsie didn't have any spices, all she had were a whole bunch of Changelings!

"What'd momsie do!?"

>She gathered up her minions, and she had them all hide in barrels. When the day came to leave, she convinced the captain that she had barrels and barrels of spices, but she had no way to get back to her home! So, when the pirate captain looked in the barrels, you know what he saw?

"What?"

>Spices. HIS spices!

"GASP!"

>That's right! In the dark of the night, she switched out her barrels filled with Changelings for the barrels on his ship! He saw all he needed to know, and he let her onboard, with the understanding he would get a cut of the profits, and also some other benefits...

"What were they?"

>...Candy. She also had to share her candy.

"She's nice!"

>Oh ho, you won't think so very soon! For days, she remained with him on that boat, waiting until the neared land before she struck. When the moon was high and the pirate crew rested, she distracted the captain and her Changelings struck! They overtook the crew, and soon they RULED the ship!"

"How'd she distract him?"

>Shadow puppets. By the end, he was all alone, and his crew were all replaced before they had even sounded the alarm. She had taken his ship, his spices, his gold and his weapons, and she had done it without lifting a single hoof!

"..."

>...That's the end, you should be 'yay'ing.

"What happened to tha' pirates? Are they okay?"

>...

"..."

>...Er, of course. They were put onto the lifeboats and shoved out to sea. They rethought their lives and said "Being a pirate sucks. I'm going to go work for charity." And they did, and they all lived happily ever after!

"YAAAAAY!"

>Yeah, yay at that...

"What happened to Momsie after that? Did she have fun sailing around?"

>Oh ho ho! That, my little one, is a story for another time. It is time for bed.

"M'kay. Good night, Not-Mom."

>Good night... not-my-kid.

"Yes, no, ahem. I mean miss. It's not mister. Um, I mean, I'm not a guy if, uh, that's what-"

>That's alright miss, just had to check, I'm sure you understand. But, you were expecting a mare?

"No mares! I mean... *cough* Um, it's just..."

>Just ask away, miss! After all, we're kinda here to get to know each other.

"Well, It's just, um. I was told you were a royal guard..."

>Oh sure! Been in the Royal Guards fifteen years, I just moonlight here. Heh, you know, moon- 'cos, uh, it's at night-

[I'm not the resident psychotherapist, hon. Way I see it, at least she's getting some exercise.]

"Oh, you want me to toss the ball? This little ball~? Okay, out in the yard it goes! Go get it girl!"

-Woof! Bark bark!-

>Hey wait- And there she goes. Cockblocked by a pony thinking they're a dog. Turns out there is a low below rock bottom.

[You brought your date to a hospital cafeteria, hon. You deserve everything you got.]

>Gimme a break, Redheart! Not my fault the cake's can't brew coffee for shit. And I'm still gonna blame Chrysalis for this.

>AJ42
“Spike”
‘77’
~~~~~~

Blood and sweat dripped to the ragged patch of ground 42 stood over, one of her eyes squeezed shut to avoid the flow of scarlet pulsing from some wound amidst her blonde mane. Her chest heaved and her limbs roared with agony but she refused to fall, not now, not yet…

Across the empty Canterlot stadium stood a rampaging manticore, one of considerable growth and madness. As per her strict training regimen, 42 did battled with a manticore every Friday, a feat that was usually only worth a few beads of sweat. But this one… this one was different, and it was giving just as good as it got, if not more so....

“77... I think we should end-”

‘Consider her honor before you finish speaking, little dragon.’

“Honor? Honor my purple ass! Look at her! She’s bleeding all over the place!”

‘And yet she still stands.’

That much was wholly true as even with her back legs wobbling, threatening to fall out from under her, 42 still stood.

It didn’t take long for the manticore to charge again, it’s thudding footsteps causing rocks and pebbles everywhere to bounce. A roar split the air and it swiped at her, a quick left that she dodged by adhering to her legs and just dropping to the ground. She popped up like a jack-in-the-box, yelling as she smashed the flat side of her hoof upside its jaw with a crack that made Spike wince and 77 nod.

‘Atta girl.’

Shaking the pain from her numb hoof, 42 sported a haggard grin, watching as the beast before her struggled to stand once more.

>C’mon, ugly, get up… we ain’t done dancing yet.

'Just so we're positive: You DON'T want to steal Spike from us.'

>Rarity, I'm appalled! Just because a simulation of myself managed to gain the affections of a simulation of Spike does not mean I would assume such a relationship would work in the same way as in reality!

"That don' really answer the question, Twi, Ah gotta admit, you an' Spike are pretty close at times."

>Our relationship is purely platonic, with no offense meant towards the tastes of the two of you. I also respect your feelings too much as my friends, perhaps in another worlds. I would warn Rarity against breaking Spike's heart again. I do not believe in third chances.

'Ulp...'

>Besides, much too busy to have any actual relationships of my own. Have things to study, research to do, things to invent, and a charity performance of Gilbert an Sullivan.

"Wait, what?"

>I am the very model of an academic equine
>My studies span history both modern and pre-Discordian
>I've studied Quantum Physics, as well as Xenobiology
>Applied Mathematics, and Psycho-Anthropology
>My research spans from Changeling to Draconian
>I am the very model of an academic equine!

'Ugh, sorting through some of these old laws... Makes how Chrysalis got that law past suddenly make a lot more sense.'

>I honestly don't know what I was thinking half the time with some of these.

"Tha hay is a Fobamador an' why're they banned?"

>I don't know but I saw we keep it just in case.

"Ya know how much it costs to keep and maintain some o' these laws, Celestia? A lot!"

>Look, Applejack, I don't remember what they are exactly, but I'm sure I had my reasons

'Were they the same reasons same sex couples are obligated to marry into polygamy and cannot be standard pairs?'

>Stallion on stallion is hot. Stallion on stallion on stallion on stallion is hotter.

"That tears it, Ah'm amendin' this!"

A month later, Fobamadors invade Equestria and gain foothold in Manehatten!

>I blame you for this.

"An' Ah still blame you."

>Shining
“Two”
________

It was with a great sigh that Shining pushed open the door to his room, pausing just in the entryway as his brain struggled fruitlessly to process exactly what he was seeing.

>…

“Urm, I can explain….”

>Can you really? I don’t think that you can, Two.

“…One try?”

>Alright, one try. Let me just take a seat first, I can already tell this is going to be good. …Okay, when you’re ready.

“Wellllll, see, what had happened was… when those mean robots came and attacked us they attacked everywheeeere!”

Shining found the way she waved her little forelegs about to signify the ‘where’ cute as hell but refused to let his face show it, fixing it on passive.

>I know, Two. It was a real struggle. But what does that have to do with-

“I’m gettin’ there, I’m gettin’ there! You can’t rush good story telling, Shiny!”

>You're right, silly me. Go on.

Two cleared her throat.

“As I was sayin'... they came from the left! Then they came from the right! And they even came from the bottom, right under our hooves!”

She tapped the bed, nodding excitedly.

“But those botties didn’t expect to meet the prettiest princess-to-be Two! I flew around, high above those marchmalley’s in the sky and-”

As inconspicuously as he could, Shining slowly lifted a hoof to his mouth to cover a smile that couldn’t help but grow as she launched into a hair-raising tale of bravery and valor that saw her defeat entire legions of robot forces and save dozens of people from suffering “nasty owies”. It was all too adorable for him and it took every inch of his training not to simply snatch her up mid-stride for a hug.

He wanted her to feel accomplished by completing this story.

And feel accomplished she did when she finished with her exploding noises and picked up a scruffy, brown-furred creature with a wagging tail.

“…and that’s when I swooped in and saved him!”

In the back of his mind, Shining marveled at the irony. What actually happened concerning Two during the ‘takeover’ was more exciting than the story she blatantly made up.

>So you saved a Diamond Dog pup.

“Yeah!”

>When in actuality you only wandered about ten feet away from the castle and found it sniffing around in an alley.

“Yeah! I-I mean, no! I, uh… I found it bein’ depressed by robot forces!”

How could something this cute exist on the mortal plane…?

>The word is oppressed, Two. But you know we can’t keep him. Right?

Her face fell like he’d told her they were under a marshmallow drought.

“Awwwww… b-but why not? He’s… but he’s so fluffy! And warm! And full of love!”

>That’s a girl diamond dog, Two. You see the jaw-line? More angular, and it’s tail is longer. That aside, I’m sure she just got lost during the attack. You now what we should do, right?

“…act like nothin’ happened and drink enough wine to forget this is a problem?”

>Okay, so no more hanging around Chrysalis for you, little lady, but no. What we’re going to do is help find this diamond dogs home. You, Cadance, and me.

“Aww… okay, Shiny.”

HNNNNG.

>Is that the face you’re going to show her parents when we find them? I bet they won’t want to hug a frowny little frowner-pants!

“O-of course not! I… I’ll show them this face!”

>Oh you can do better than that! I don’t think you’re ready for the Smile-lympics!

“Oh yeah? Well, what about this!”

>Now that’s a gold medal smile, sweetheart. Come on, let’s go get Cadance and we’ll get to finding this pup it’s home.

“Okay, Shiny! Um… can you give her a hug?

>Hm? Why?

“I just… I want her to feel safe and I know a hug from you will make her not worry so much because with you around everything’s better!”

>…

“You okay, Shiny? Why’re your eyes all watery…?”

>Liquid pride, Two. Just… liquid pride.

[It does invoke a sense of nostalgia for the old days.]

"Eeyup, things were so much simpler then..."

'The Wonderbolts didn't feel almost... Lame.'

-I'm sorry for not staying in touch as much as I should, but when I decided to look after the woodlands of Equestria, the Empire, and everywhere else, I had no idea it would keep me so busy even with Discord's help and my alicorn displacement drive.-

>Uhhh... There's- you know what? Nevermind.

~I know what you all mean! I mean wasn't it so much better back in the day when Equestria's economy was so wacky every one of us was always on the verge of bankruptcy or losing our home one day of the week or another?~

"Ummm..."

~Or if it wasn't financial problems, some town or another would be beset by awful, horrific monsters or clones because someone did something stupid and upset the delicate balance of nature and magic?~

-...-

~Oh! Who else misses when Spike was just a household appliance and we didn't really think of him as a person and used him mostly for slapstick physical comedy instead treating him like an actual person?~

Rarity starts crying

~You know what else I miss? Constantly living in fear that the Changelings are going to reveal themselves to be our closest friends, or Sombra returning to destroy the Crystal Empire?~

>Well, when you put it like that-

~Let's not forget when the Wonderbolts still only flew around in circles at fast speeds for a few hours and charged you a hundred bits per-seat!~

'Um... yeah...'

"So Ah guess..."

>When you really think about it...

[The past was not a very rosy thing]

-Now now, let's not use such language. ... It sucked dick.-

"An' Ya'll know who's fault it was?"

'CONSLAMMMA! Annnd-DENIED!'

"Sorry Sug', Ah' needed somethin' ta throw. She just got smart is all... well, smaterER, Ah' should say."

'Okay, why does everyone say I'm dumb? Neither of you even questioned me when I was Cadence.'

"Because we had never met her? Ah' jus' honestly thought she was a naggy, annoying bitch.

>She was a pink alicorn princess who got everything she ever wanted, and my last run in with Celestia's extended family set a precedent.

'Point, but seriously, I almost took over Canterlot!'

>And you would have gotten away with it too!

"Iffin' it weren't for ya' sendin' Twi into an unguarded area, completely unhurt and unrestrained in any way, and also the place with the ONE pony who could stop yer' plan."

>Oh, curse your decision to stand there while Cadence raced to her beloved to recharge him and send you all rocketing out, a slight misstep in a perfect plot to... get married?

"Yeah, why were ya' plannin' ta' wait till after the ceremony anyway?"

'Sex related reasons.'

"Question withdrawn."

'Look, my plots may have tiny, tiny hiccups at the end, but on the whole they're pretty well thought out.'

'Sexy outfit fashion tips!'

'Oh come on! You guys should understand me better than anyone!'

"An B, ya' kind of lost yer' fight before ya' even got out the gate, Cadence has pretty thoroughly won."

'Well screw you! UGH!'

-What's her problem?-

"Just a sore loser."

>That's all.
