Howdy, partner!

What you see here began as a series of comedy-centric stories with the concept of an alicorn-ascended Princess Applejack trying to change a mismanaged Equestria for the better by humorously interacting with the other, quite lazy, princesses.

Not to mention a whole bunch of Changelings with nothing better to do but cause mischief.


The whole thing was set in motion by this gem:

~~~~~

>So, wait, why am Ah' a princess again?

>Because you seem to be the only goddamn one of those ponies who gets that a Princess need to do actual work regarding maintenance of the kingdom. You know how much city planning or trade negotiations Twilight or Luna have done? Fucking nothing. Everyone is obsessed with the world ending threats they think I should fight, but the minute I point out the free health care I have to work to maintain everyone goes quiet. And don't even get me started on Cadence, who can't even manage a basic meeting with the Equestrian Games representative. Fucking annoying. Go do actual princess stuff, because apparently everyone else got the pamphlets mixed up or something and thinks "Princess" means "Beat cop."

~~~~~

Are you feeling creative? Try your hand at writing a story! No contribution is too small and we love having new folks around.

If you're more artistically inclined give a drawing or sketch a shot. Don't fret too much; it doesn't have to be fancy and we appreciate artwork a lot.

If that isn't your style either, writers always need feedback. So tell us what you liked - and what you didn't - to help us improve.

If you are unsure about anything, do not be afraid to ask. We will gladly bring you up-to-date or explain anything you feel is unclear.

Thread 117, and we're off to the beach, because of course we're going to the beach in the middle of winter, it only makes sense!

"..."

>Just something to make it official, is all I wonder. Is that a process? Twilight didn't mention signing anything, but you'd think that would be one of the most important things, right?

"..."

>For that matter, were we given any land or anything when we became royalty? Twilight remained around Ponyville, does she... oversee that? Is this a regional thing? How does this work?

END

Notice no Spike in there....
>>
>>26009180
I'mma just say, I wish we had given Spike more Shiny moments, which is less "He's useful and totally a cool fighter and all that" and more "Look at them cuddle and talk and have all that chemistry, they're adorable!"

Maybe this arc is a good time to fix that, as Spike is really lacking in genuine heartfelt moments.
>>
>>26009259
God I hope so
>>
>>26009259
Spike's at a bit of a disadvantage because unlike Shiny, he has to prove he's actually useful, Shiny you just assume is a little capable, but Spike has to be built up because he's already dirt low in the show.

That said, yes, I hope we get some Spike/AJ moment with like... emotions and stuff, well written emotions.

Like the Celly/SA or recently Chrysalis/SA stuff, that stuff is really damn good. The dialog, the chemistry, the back and forths, I feel it, and it makes me like seeing these characters together more, I'd like something like that from Spike.
>>
>>26009358
Someone better, because I can't provide two way character dynamics at all
>>
>>26009401
As the guy who wrote a lot of the Celestia/SA things(but not that recent one), uh...

I can't write Spike.

At all.

AT. ALL.

Just, can't write him. I try, and all the dialog comes out so unnatural and forced, I've deleted THREE five-part stories because I was like "This is so fake." He is my "One character". You know, that one character you just plain can't get a hold of. He is that to me. I wish it wasn't so, but it is.

I can't write Spike.

Wow, this was REALLY disjointed and hard to keep in a straight cohesion for the recap, so if I missed something oh god I'm sorry but all the scrolling up and down is not healthy for me.

Set a good example for the new year and take it easy on me.
>>
>>26009638
It occurs to me...is Chrysalis actually going to have to legit say 32 was right about something?

And not just mindzotz him after so he forgets?

In other words, you want us to make Spike the prince of all dragons who goes out on a journey randomly and comes back an untouchable badass.

Next you'll be telling me we should make Trixie be Luna's student... wait.

>>26009730
You got better ideas, Johnny High-Horse?

How about we just make him a changeling? Then the reeeeeal writers will get ahold of him and the situation will resolve himself.

>>26009754

We wanted to have AJ be less of that anyway, someone needs to take over.

Can someone in the know give me an overview which characters are now beach-trip confirmed?

And maybe which characters are tied up where in general? It gets so confusing whenever I feel like writing for a character I haven't written for before.
>>
>>26009856
Sure!

>Ce crew consisting of Shining, Cadence, Two Chrysalis, 18, 42, Spitfire, Sombra and Mane-Iac are heading out to the Beach right now

Thank ye kindly. Now let's get these typing fingers warmed up. New Year Hype!
>>
>>26009979
> Spike isn't that hard to write, just don't ask the show writers.

>He's more mature than he lets on, or should be. Sarcastic, snarky especially with Twilight when they have a chance to play off one another. I prefer to write him as annoyed when others just assume he's a little kid simply because he's a 'baby' dragon. Likely very knowledgeable about magic while not being to do it himself. Likes pranks, generally carefree when not put on the spot.

>His conflicts are generally stemming from the contrast of his seeming young age and occasional bouts of immaturity and wanting to be seen as just as adult as the rest of the main cast. There are a lot of in-canon ways to play with this. One that I am surprised isn't used more is the idea that dragons grow with their hoard. Spike may gather up a small hoard in order to make himself grow, sacrificing his apparent childhood as a way to be more useful, or to catch Rarity's attention.
>>
>>26009811
>Well shit, now I'll just sit over here and be confused I guess!

Oh, shit, that was such a fast response I missed it.

Anyway, only reason I asked was because of this>>26009544
>MAKE HIM SARCASTIC AND A LITTLE KNOW IT ALL AND A BIT WEARY
>FUCK THEN HE JUST BECOMES AN UNBEARABLE PRICK

It's just... that's kinda how 29 is, being sarcastic and full of himself and egotistical, as is Trixie, but I DON'T find either of them unbearable, is the thing. They're both characters who are like that, but usually you write them in a way that not only can I bear them, they're actually funny.

Was hoping for a reference to see if you did the same with Spike is all.
>>
>>26010031
See? Sometimes an outside perspective helps.
>>
Ok cool

So, how would you write him away from a very edgy characterisation?

Depending on the premise, I suppose a few ways. I guess I'd go with being more reluctant in direct conflict unless sufficiently motivated. Protecting his friends and those he cares about are the big ones.

If he's got a reason to go all out, he will. He's not edgy at all, the show seems to show he's pure-hearted in a naive sort of way. So basically the opposite of edge, which is better anyway.
>>
>>26009449
I have no problem writing for Spike, but I haven't written any canon stories in ages.
>>
>>26010223
>. I guess I'd go with being more reluctant in direct conflict unless sufficiently motivated.

Well, shit, that's not helpful. He's already supergung-ho in the rest of the thread.

>>26010031
>ne that I am surprised isn't used more is the idea that dragons grow with their hoard.
Show canon contradicts this, saying that he goes crazy if he grows up just a little bit. Him going to pony size alone made it impossible for him not to hoard, and he didn't lose his hoard when he snapped out of it and shrunk, he was still holding it and Rarity when he did, which means his growth is a state of mind, not based on how much stuff he has, and is reversible.

It's just hard to write that when that's essentially a hulk-state that doesn't make him want to fight, just steal shit.
>>
>>26009582
In house please. The way we started. Despite popular belief, it's not hard to write Spike.
>>
>that non canon turned canon story of Spike playing Russian Roulette with Mayor Mare
That was a good'n.

Huh... never really thought about writing for him. Not anything against him, just never had an idea

>PJ is fucking off in the woods for this arc
>>
>>26010646
>>Are we still doing the Widow's regret Reunion or just leaving Pom Pom, Daw, and the Guards?
That's up to if someone wants to do the reuninion or not. If so, he has the excuse and the reasons to leave, and Daw and Pommel are together, the setup is there.
>>Can we at least have a throw away line that SOMEONE gave the guard orders before leaving?
Sure, if you want? I don't have anything, and AJ was abducted.
>>Doesn't Sunset have to go to her cell since her parole officers are all gone? Or are we just poofing her with the CE crew?
No, and no. She's barred from the castle and she doesn't have 'parole officers', she was walking around unsupervised before she met up with AJ and the lings in Canterlot(before the loveletter business), you can do whatever you want to her, since she has reasons to go and reasons to stay, it's all just if you want her at the beach or not.
>>Are we going to have the crystal Pones interact with Chitty (who saved their lives) or Sunset (who almost killed them all)?
Sounds fun.
>>I think you missed Screwloose and 12 who somehow (Power of crazy) got onto Fancy's investigation.
He did miss that, but Recap anon did not. Even got their names, the glorious bastard.
>PJ is fucking off in the woods for this arc
...Is that a suggestion, or... I don't know what you're doing with that one.

Other two questions will be answered by who you're asking.
>>
>>26010646
>Is 29 anon going to do anything with MM and co or are they just going to get high until this all blows over?

No, they're leaving Ponyville. Haven't decided if I'm sending them to the beach or not, but I AM using this opportunity to change their normal scenery. That's why there was that one story with MM getting investigated too, she's not held down in Ponyville right now and if she's going after 29(She is) then the others are going too. I am considering beach though for... reasons... story reasons...

Just as soon as I stop having fun hurting 29...
>>
>>26010737
PJ thing was more throwing in the blanket built in explanation that PJ has for being MIA at any time. She fucks off to the woods randomly.
Also thanks for the Sunset update, thought the only reasons she got out was AJ.
>>
>>26010737
Pommel wrote standing orders for the guard and Daw delivered them
>>
>>26010577
Kek, awesome.

Kinda makes me want to do a different version of the Where do you want to eat? story.
>>
>>26010806
That was the unnamed guard back in Canterlot, I meant the named guys that had nothing to do after deliver Changelings.
>>
>>26010806
I think he means AJ gave the CE guards, the ones IN the CE not the... you know who I mean, Haymaker and the others. She gave them, or didn't give them, orders before fucking off.
>>
>>26010577
Yup. It's just that easy but I know it's in our nature to over dramatize a lot of stuff in this series.
>>
>>26010781
>PJ thing was more throwing in the blanket built in explanation that PJ has for being MIA at any time. She fucks off to the woods randomly.

She has a legit excuse this time too.

>OH SHIT! Canterlot is hot! Better lay low until the heat dies down. Survival and all that...
>>
>>26010646
>>Are we going to have the crystal Pones interact with Chitty (who saved their lives) or Sunset (who almost killed them all)?

Oh fuck, now I want to see this, just to watch them keep treating Chitty like she's her comic book self.
>>
>>26010577
Huh, not bad.

Maybe do some more, you managed to make me like 29 and get angry every time a certain SOME FUCKER doesn't give him his hugs, could work for Spike. Not trying to force it on you if you don't wanna write him, though. That's not fair. Not like I'm gonna write Spike, so it would be pretty shitty to ask the same of another writer.

>WHEEEEEEE! GETTYUP CENTITRAIN!

The beast below them screeched, herded on as if her words had inspired it to push harder. The speed of the world around them picked up, wing whipping their open hair as more power was fueled into each of the hundred legs, and the electricity that arced around them carried them on faster, and faster.

They had left the rails behind, gone off the tracks without a care so long ago they scarcely remembered it, or even acknowledged it. They were racing, with all they had. Where to, only one of them could say.

Or maybe she couldn't say, she was crazy like that.

"Alright, taking all bets."

'I bet ten bis we're just going to her parents house or something.'

[Fifteen that it's another amusement park.]

{Oh, um... maybe it's a nice hotel?}

(Ah'll beat all of you, and lay fifty on the table it's another Partyland.)

~Don't even joke about that, mare!... But I'm so going in on that, fifty as well.~

'You're too young to be gambling.'

~Not too young to burn your ass!~

'Yes, you are. That would be illegal somewhere.'

~I'm willing to take the jailtime.~

'I meant me beating up a minor would probably be illegal.'

~No courts out here I can see! Bring it-~

A magical double slap stopped both of that.

'...Friggen stupid powers.'

"Awesome powers, you mean."

~I'm telling Celestia you're abusing your powers.~

"And I'll tell her what I'm using them for, and she'll give me a medal."

(She will too, Ah've seen it.)

{Do you suppose we're going somewhere with some new kinds of animals? I haven't gotten to have any real time with my animals in a while.}

[Then what on earth have you been doing?]

{...Nothing.}

[Uh huh...]

'Look out everyone, Rarity is looking to reveal something else-'

What followed was not a slap.

It was a crack.

'RIBS!'

"Gonna stop?"

'GONNA STOP!'

"Not ruining the trip?"

'NOPE!'

"Good girl.'

>HOLD ON TIIIIIIGHT!

They would have expected more of a warning before the train jumped into the air, had they been fools. As it was, they simply grabbed on to the nearest thing that could be gripped and held on as they flew through the air.

And flew... and flew... and flew....

>So, did you guys see the hoofball game last week? What an upset!

~I thought it was stupid, the ref totally shouldn't have called a foul in the last quarter.~

>Well, you think that, because you're wrong.

~I am not!~

>I can prove it.

~How!?~

The flying then stopped.

For six of them, at least. One poor fool who's claws had gone up into the air in exasperation found his flight did not end when the rest of the groups did.

His flight ended a short time later, just a bit harder than theirs did.

>Would a right dragon currently be headfirst in the sand? Didn't think so!

"...Sand?"

Ignoring the grumbling and flailing limbs for a second, they found that, sure enough, there was sand.

A lot of sand.

And water. Lots and lots of water.

'...What.'

>Welcome to SUNNY PARTY BEACH! This is where we're having fun!

[Why... here?]

It certainly didn't look like much. The sand was nice and all, but it was also rather barren, to put it simply.

>Because this is my auntie's cousin's cabin! Isn't it great!

She pointed, looking quite proud, but all anyone could see was a tiny little wooden structure, looking more like a lifeguard's storage house than anything.

(...Is it behind the shack?)

>What shack?

Their hearts did not stop sinking for a little bit.

>DIBS ON THE ROOM!

"Which room?"

>You'll know... cause there's only two, it'll be hard to miss.

And sinking, and sinking, and sinking.

>...WOOOO! BEACH PARTY!

The enthusiasm did nothing, for once, as they all hopped down.

It was only watching her slightly deflate that finally pushed them to act, before her precious dreams were crushed.

{It'll be fun, I'm sure!}

(Can't be any worse than back home.)

>Great! That's the spirit!... Bye Centitrain!

'Wait! Where's she going!?'

The thing screeched, all of it's legs moving in perfect tandem as it turned around, and tore off. Several of them tried to follow, instinctively, but it was too late. The sand created a perfect cloud that made following her impossible, and soon even the screeches of her electricity was gone, leaving only silence.

>She's not staying, silly! She's a train! She'll come pick us up when it's time to go home!

(That was... awfully fast, ya'll ain't just doin' this so we can't run, are you?)

>Nope!

>No chance!

>...Bye Centitraiiiin!

'Uh, Pinkie, think you jumped the gun a bit.'

>Nope! Cause we're all on the beach, and we're going to have a beach party! Fun in the sun! Wooo! No worries, no more running off in every direction, we're all right here, all together, and we're gonna have fun, just like old times!

"That isn't the issue, it's-"

>Nowhere to go now, let's parrttyyy! Oh! I know! Let's play volleyball... huh, where's my...

Slowly, the realization came to her, just as it had all the others a second ago.

>...All our bags are still on Centitrain, aren't they?

The silence was all the answer she needed.

>...CAMP OUT! WOOO!

Slowly, they all realized that, for better or worse... they were stuck here.

No telling which way civilization was, no telling which way to a hotel or store, no nothing. They were all on their own, alone.

With Pinkie Pie.

And she wanted to party.

"...So is someone gonna help Spike out of the sand, oooorrr...."

She grabbed them, all of them at the same time somehow, and their worst fears were confirmed.

It was going to be a long trip.

>>26016732
Well, there WAS a changeling Queen who could make their skin impenetrable, but it also turned them into a statue, and Chrysalis can turn her foreleg into an actual blade, but it's next to impossible to change it back if it goes all the way, she has to back off mid transformation.

I mean, it's feasible, it'll just horribly backfire.

>Because Love Magic explosions can be absorbed by her. That's why she has ruled Canterlot for the last 3 seasons.

The season 2 finale wasn't a love magic explosion, it was a shield. Shiny's Shield. The same shield that kept the changelings out not ten minutes before that scene. The shield he couldn't keep up because Chrysalis drained him of love. A love drain that, you know, got reversed... by love magic.

It was his shield, they made that pretty clear.

It was just sand as far as she could see, nothing but sand in every direction, but maybe, just maybe...

She reached out, just as she had with her battle with Chrysalis. Reached low, reached deeply, searched beneath the sand for something, anything at all.

At first, she could feel nothing, sense nothing, it seemed as barren as it looked.

Until... just out of the corner of her vision-

"Hey, AJ? Thanks for getting me out of the sand-"

>GAH!

BUCK!

How, exactly, he landed in the exact same spot, she would never know.

Nor did she know one other, very important piece of information.

To say they were shocked when they stepped off the train simply did not do it justice. To say they were stunned when they saw what accommodations they had been given could not put it to words.

To say said accommodations were, as the 'hip yougin's' put it, "Swank", did not even come close to doing it justice.

It was nothing less than a five star villa, decked out with impressive commodities, gorgeous views of the majestic sea upon pearly white sand, and even a hot tub.

Yes, just off the back, aligned perfectly to see that beautiful sea, was a massive hot tub.

It was nothing short of beautiful.

Are, are you implying that the changelings get good accommodations most times? They lived in a crappy ballroom that somehow had a draft for like 100 threads. Sure, the main three big ones get decent places to sleep, but... So does literally every one of the main 6. Even the ones that don't actually have super nice places to sleep in canon get some in this one.

It's obnoxious that people are so butthurt about what people choose to write, be it comedy vs drama, OC's vs Canon Characters, Changelings vs Ponies.

We're assholes on 4chan, as long as the result isn't fucking heinous, write what you want, nobody's going to stop you.

I actually wonder if that one guy that kept saying he wants to write for Canon stories, but couldn't because of all the changelings beings so ingrained and all that, and they would have to write around them, is even still reading.

>That EVERYONE is grossly negligent

...They... they all charged after her.

Shiny was RIGHT THERE and could have swum in after her if she actually fell.

The problem was she was flying above the water, so Shiny couldn't reach her. So Celestia, who was ALSO right there, flew above the water to go talk to her, which Shiny cannot do. Because flying.

Get it?

>...why the fuck do you bring all the ones that biologically cannot swim to the damn OCEAN?!

>>
>>26022129
>But yeah, how do the CE ponies panicking mean you can't go to some cute pony pun for Aspen?

Because they literally had to buy a super fucking swanky looking place(since they don't want them to think they did a bad job according to their explanation for the holiday) literally on the spot that they could go move into that day?

When the travel agent says "We have a nice beach property since all our mountain stuff is booked for the holidays", you take what you can get and don't think too hard about it.
>>
Wait...they're not all going to the same beach?

Well fuck, now it'd just be stupid if the other characters went to a DIFFERENT beach. Guess they'll all be wallflowers at Crystal Canadapalooza.
>>
>>26022286
>Wait...they're not all going to the same beach?

They're all on *a* beach, we don't know if it's the same one.

The Main Six might just be further down the way from CE Beachplace, whole point of M6's thing is they don't know where they are.

>Well fuck, now it'd just be stupid if the other characters went to a DIFFERENT beach.

...Why?
>>
>>26022383
Seems to just prove we're all factionalized and shit.

Mane 6 and Spike get their little province.

CE Crew gets OPULENCE

Do we just throw whoever's left down into a tourist town nearby? I mean fuck either I get the feeling it'd just end in another 'STOP WRITING FOR (non-Shinyharem) OC'S!' Argument and I'm just tired.
>>
>>26022383
I can't see us putting them on different beaches. We would lose so many great character interaction opportunities for pretty much zero benefit.
>>
>>26022423
>Seems to just prove we're all factionalized and shit.

You are waayyyyyy reaching there. It's just a story measure to explain why Pinkie and co aren't in the big expensive place(because them all being in a tiny shack is funnier), and to setup potential future gags about the two, while also giving a highlight to Pinkie's state of mind(in that, she's looking for being it with just her friends to be like it was in the old days when they went on adventures) and her trying to force the matter.

>Do we just throw whoever's left down into a tourist town nearby?

Put 'em wherever you want. Hell, have them literally camp on the beach or something. At least one set of characters is going to have a particular location, I can tell you that.

It's a fun arc, man. Have some fun. Think up a crazy scenario where they, yes the OC's if you want, end up on the beach. Or hell, have Sunset chase down AJ and end up way off course, have Chitania chase down Chrysalis just to get away from the CE, have 77 decide to go hiking in the woods just to fuck with the formula, do whatever.

It's the fun arc man, put your fears of arguments to rest for a time, go wild with your ideas and have some FUN!

>>26022489
I literally never for a second thought they were on different beaches. I'm not kidding when I say that if we did reveal they were, I would call it a twilight-zone-esq twist, I am being 100 percent serious. Even though there is nothing to indicate they're on the same stretch of beach, I would call shamalamadingdong if they weren't. Hell, I'd call bullshit just because we'd miss out on Main Six Shack VS CE Villa shenanigans, if we don't get a prank war out of this I will be utterly mortified.

Ponies, Changelings, those weird pale things...'

>Morlocks too!?

'Morlocks huh? Hey I read that book! Cool. But yeah, they're up there on the surface, where the mushrooms are so dense the light doesn't come down, or when a certain giant mushroom at the center of the valley belches out a cloud of some of those damn pink spores, making a cover for them.'

>Oh fuck...

'Thankfully, the spores aren't what they used to be, big old case of infectile dysfunction. All they're good for is blocking the sun and giving the damn Morlocks a way to attack folks. But honestly, we're digressing here, your eyeballs were last seen deep in Morlock territory and heading deeper. So there's only one place I can think of them being.'

No kidding? You don't say? I...already...don't..have...to. It never occurred to me that I already don't have to write about the characters I don't want to write about and should instead rip the mane 6 from whatever location, plot, or even if they're in the middle of interacting with said characters I don't want to write about, so that they're together in canon.

So wait, remind me, how does that work?
All this shit in the valley(or plains, dont remember) is caused by Lavans magic.
And its all taken from 88s memory.
Does that mean that Canary 88 is talking with is just a memory of real Canary that died way back, given physical form?
If so, MemCanary shouldn't remember her family, or anything from her real life, right? Because 88 doesn't know it?
Unless you say it's somehow tied with Cordy taking over everyone and getting all that knowledge and all that info somehow still lying deep down in the back of 88s mind.
Or just classic 'its magic'.

Also, will shit stay weird over there after all is said and done? I would like that.
It was a wasteland, nothing in it.
Now there is whole ecosystem there, it would be shame to let it wither.

I assumed it had 88 scoop out what little mind stuff she could from the dying real!Canary -recent things and basic info to help her better fit in.

Pinkie looks to see a sharped tooth version of herself grinning back.

"Oh did you? The others defeated and destroyed their shadows...you ate me."

Pinkie glares at shadow Pinkie in the mirror.

"I'm not going away because I'm stuck inside you now, but that's okay. I'm fine being a prisoner in you. There's one little thing though...you know what I want. Don't you feel me gnawing at you from the inside? I know what nightmares taste like now...I want more. C'mon, you know how good it felt to take a bite out of AJ's Shadow.

{Harshwhinny}
~???~
~~~

She was a good infiltrator.

>RARRGGGHHH!

She really was, it wasn't just her imagination. She hit her targets every time, she never even came close to being detected, not a once. And never did the Queen ever imagine that she was secretly an heir, she never even suspected it. For fucks sake, even after she stopped hiding it the Queen still couldn't believe that she was secretly a mare, she was just that good.

Which is why she had to admit that, perhaps, she was acting just outside of her best interests of her continued profession when she devolved into charging blindly and swinging.

She would at least lean upon the idea it was, if nothing else, effective, if the bat-pony were not so easily outpacing her.

"Ya' made her mad, Miss Captain Mare."

'I can see that.'

[Hrmph, this is pathetic.]

{Most unprofessional behavior.}

>GIVE ME THE DAMN CHANGELING!

She didn't care who she had to punch, who she had to bite, who she had to kill.

She was going to get that changeling.

>GIVE! ME! THE! DAMN-

'No.'

It didn't hurt.

No matter how much her head literally being jammed into the ceiling may seem to hurt to the uninitiated, it did not hurt. Now, the fact the captain had done so by backflipping and not giving a single fuck while she was doing it, that hurt, just a bit.

"...Can she breath?"

'I hope not.'

[It would make everything a lot easier if he just suffocated.]

{She, Jetset.}

[I know what I said.]

And though he did not know it, it was exactly the wrong thing.

>THAT'S IIIIIIIIITTTTT!

She would not be paying for the ceiling. That said, it didn't matter if she had been forced to.

The looks on their faces when her magic exploded and grabbed them before they could react was simply priceless.

>I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT!

She struggled, of course she did, but the magic was too strong. The rage was too strong.

[Well, this is embarrassing for you, Potsticker.]

'Shut up.'

>>
>>26026978

{No, really, being caught by magic? So embarrassing.}

'Shut uppppp.'

[How are you going to get out of this one, or are you simply going to kill yourself in shame.]

>GIVE ME THE DAMN CHANGELING!

She pulled, with all her magical might she pulled, dragging her closer like a spider to their prey.

"Ya' don't look worried, Misses Captain Ma'am."

'I'm not.'

"Ya' got a trick up your sleeve?"

'Nope.'

"...Uh, don't wanna give strategy tips to the captain, but-"

>GRRRRRAAAAGGGGGHH!

'It's okay.'

[No, really, do you want me to intervene? This is getting sad.]

{I feel honest pity right now.}

'You're going to feel something else in a second here.'

[Oh? And what's that?]

'Shame.'

[Shame? For wha-]

He was cut off. In fact, it seemed time itself was cut off when they descend. The 'They' in question being bodies. Lots and lots and lots and lots of bodies.

Nightguard bodies, to be precise, all of them raining down from the ceiling.

She hadn't noticed a one.

'Shame that you didn't notice my backup.'

[...I actually do feel a bit ashamed at that.]

{You should be.}

[Did you notice them?]

{Silence, things are happening.}

Those things were a lot of swords.

A lot of swords.

'Gonna drop me, or are my backup going to have to make you regret it?'

>...Wait, didn't I beat up most of you guys?... YEAH! Yeah, I did! I remember you! I kicked you into the store, and you went onto the couch, and you I stepped on, and you I shot with lasers!

'That's beside the-'

>And you I punched into a fountain-

'-this is really getting off topic-'

>-and you I tripped-

'-I assure you they've trained a lot-'

>-and I slept with your wife!

Everyone went silent, with the nightguard in question that she had been pointing to dropping his jaw in stunned shock.

>...No, wait, was it yours?... It was one of them! They all look the same!

'...w-what...'

>>26026988

>Look, who's almost or recently divorced? I don't know if that was enough to last a whole year, but... look, it was before the invasion, and she REALLY needed that, so- whoever it was, go down on her more often, would it kill you to give a little reciprocal? Come on! This isn't fair! She has needs to, YOU!... Or was it you?..

'ENOUGH!'

>I'm just saying.

'Look, we're getting really off topic here!'

>Oh, right... point is, I can probably take you all.

'I really doubt you won all that much without reinforcements.'

>And who says I don't have them?

Every nightgaurd tensed, teeth sinking into their blades as they stood poised, and ready for battle.

"She doesn't."

>SHUT UP!

"Not-mom doesn't send reinforcements for you unless it's a super important mission, she likes swarm stuff at the start, not later."

>SHUT UPPPP!

It sucked so much to see that mare smile.

'Well then... shall we test the theory? Guards! Get ready!'

They went low, preparing.

'Get set!'

They tensed, almost ready to jump, and she knew right away the hardest battle of her life would soon begin.

'ATT-'

~Uh...~

They froze, all of them, when a voice came from the darkness above, and a changeling dropped down.

~...The fuck, sister.~

>WHY ARE YOU HERE!?

~Majesty was wondering what was taking so long, she was worried he got arrested or something.~

>WELL SHUT UP AND HELP ME! I have the target right there!

Her fellow hivemate mashed a hoof to his face, slowly dragging it down as everyone hung around in awkward, half-running positions.

~You were just supposed to make sure he was okay and take him home.~

>THEY WON'T LET ME!

~Stop yelling.~

>I'M NOT!

~Look just... what's the problem?~

"I've gotta find the common room so I can start training to be a nightguard!"

~You're not allowed in the castle.~

"Slight speedbump!"

~You'd get arrested, and nightgaurds can't have criminal records.~

"...Misses Captain?"

'He's right.'

>>26027000

"Ah, I see... can I hold off on the search til it's legal? I don't want to break the law."

'An admirable stance on the matter.'

"Kay! Guess I should see how Cuz is doing anyway, he probably got yelled at or something."

~Alright. Then you can come back to this spot so it's fair and you're not cheating.~

"Awesome!... You can let me go now, Misses Captain! And don't worry, when this is all over, I'm gonna prove I can be the best most super nightguard there ever was!'

Everyone of the nightguards, the captain included, gave little more than a raised eyebrow collectively as he hopped down and walked up.

Naturally, he moved past her, and to her brother, giving her the stink eye all the way, before sitting down next to him.

"Thanks for sticking with me, Mister Jetset! Miss Harshwhinny! You guys are awesome, but I gotta wait till this is legal! Then I'm coming right back here to go back to looking, no cheating!"

[Understandable.]

{Professional, I respect that.}

'I suppose... we need some time to reevaluate.'

"Ain't gonna have too much time, so get ready! I'm gonna make it!... We ready to go, Dudemare?"

She stared, she stared to them, her hivemates, her foes, and her spectators, she stared to them all, every one.

She stared, and stared, and stared.

And then she lied down, and curled into a ball.

"...Ya' need a minute?"

It had been one of those missions.

{Unprofessional.}

And she needed this.

'...So, that whole wife thing was made up, right?'

She needed her moment.

'...Right?'

She was a good infiltrator...

META REASON
They said beach episode, not ski resort episode (which surrounded by snow, the empire is). Add to it we already did ski and snowboarding jokes with the cast and water is the joke of the month. This was all started because we wanted more drowning jokes and Anime filler.

In canon reason
they wanted them to go away and this was what they came up with

Also Changelings are weak to cold and water, so they are in danger regardless.

>Woooww...

The inside, unsurprisingly, was every bit as spacious and extravagant as the outside. Rooms upon rooms, a living area that was quite decked out in rather nice amenities, complete with fully stocked kitchen and fridge, and even-

"HOLY SHIT! They actually have a projector for movies! HAH!"

'I must say, this is... nicer than my last vacation, actually. I feel slightly ripped off.'

The stallion whistled as he walked down the hallway, peering inside to see bedroom after bedroom. Each one was unique in it's own way, one of them had a mini fridge, one of them had a water bed, one of them was plain and simple, and of course there was the massive bed in the main bedroom.

>Wow, full theater, three bathrooms, nifty little storage closet... oh hey! They even have an office-

There was a sudden, rapid, thupthupTHUPTHUPSLAM!

All he had a seen was a blur, something that passed him by in an instant, there and gone. Nothing but a flash of pink before the door he had been poised halfway in was slammed in his face, quite literally, and a loud CLACK of a lock falling into place rumbled the door.

He stood there, a single drop of blood dripping down from his nose, still frozen in the same expression he had made the second before.

>...ahem, honey? Do you want us to-

He heard scraping of something being pushed in front of the door, and watched as a sudden weight was pressed upon it.

{ARE YOU SERIOUS!?}

The changeling let out a cry of exhaustion, flopping painfully to the ground just outside the building, and dropping the massive structure she had been carrying with a sand-scattering boom behind her.

{I... you just... the whole way...}

>Moving on!

{The whole way...}

His insistence did not stop until she did.

>As I was saying, moving on!... Okay, so, since Cadence has picked her room, why don't we all pick our own? We can all sleep in our own places now-

"DIBS ON THE MASTER BEDROOM!"

>...Well, Sombra, there's one room left, I guess we're-

~BLAH!~

>MY EYES! OH DEAR FAUST WHY!?

The ghostly thing, now free of the sand he had been holding in his mouth, charged into the room, and soon enough...

SLAM!

>...okay! That was... that was the last room, guys!... That was the only one!... I need one for me too, you know? Prince of the Empire! They technically gave the trip to me!... Can I at least stay in the bathroom? They're all connected to the rooms! I can't... there's no not-connected bathroom, even!... Guys?... GUYS!?

Silence was his only answer.

>...Guess I'm sleeping on the couch...

He said, before turning around and noticing that said couch was gone.

>...why.

SLAM!

=AHHHHAHAHAH!... Sorry! But they forgot to put a bed in here!=

>T-... theater, that's the-

=BYE!=

>How did she even... she wasn't carrying that when...

In this, the single most expensive, opulent, downright lavish looking villa he could ever vacation to, Shining Armor found only one simple answer.

>Spike
“???”
‘Rarity’
____

As it turned out, their own little patch of ‘paradise’ had a pier. It was the most ricketiest pier in all of Equestria, surely, but they had one.

And it was upon this one that Spike stood.

>We want something besides pickled stuff to eat, they says. Pickled this, pickled that, I’m sick of pickled things, they says. Don’t worry, guys, I’ll go get us some fish, I says... moments before realizing I didn’t pack a fishing pole.

He gave Charity’s barrel a good spin, then pointed her at the healthy looking blueish-green waters. There were plenty of fast moving blurs just underneath the surface. Plenty of plump fish and crab and who knows what else.

He closed one eye, poked out his tongue, put a claw on the trigger.

>One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish… now who’s gonna wind up on my dish?

Almost as if summoned by his question turned rhyme, the flickering black shadows gave way to a much bigger shape that slowly burst through the oceans surface, arching and reaching, towering over Spike and casting a shadow over a great majority of everything.

1/2

>>26031896

He stared, mouth agape, firing arm dropped, trying to make sense of this massive amphibian creature now staring down at him from it’s height in the clouds.

“Excuse me, little dragon.”

Its booming voice resonated with all the power of a volcano erupting, albeit with a feminine edge, though how Spike picked that up he would never figure out.

“I would greatly appreciate it if you did not shoot my babies. I cannot stop you but I am quite sure neither you nor your patrons would appreciate the fatally immediate consequences to follow.”

Dimly, Spike’s eyes found his weapon, and he started to chuckle.

>What, you... you mean this? Oh, ha! No, no, no, I wasn’t about to shoot anything, I was just checking the sights, is all, making sure everything was straight. And it is! Allll straight! Yes, ma’am, no shooting going on here, especially not at your babies, I would never, nope, for I am a good dragon who wants to live a long time and not an idiot.

“I thank you, little dragon.”

And the creature sank back into the astonishingly deep depths of the ocean just like that.

>>26032208
Chitty doesn't beat up random folks, she only attacks when she has a mission or they pissed her off by attacking her, anything short of actually being attacked she laughs off.

She'd probably insult her for not just punching the guy who pointed a gun at her kids, though.
>>
It occurs to me, would the Crystal Canadians be so happy to see Chitty if they knew she used their favorite tiny cute bug as a battery?
>>
>>26032547
Er, they know. It's not like it wasn't a widely publicized event when she was grabbed and Shining Armor punched her with a robot into a volcano. They also know she stomped Canterlot into nothing, a lot of them volunteered to go help rebuild it.

They weren't happy to see her when she arrived to kick Variolus's ass, but seeing her openly cry in public and seeing Shining Armor, the Prince, publicly forgive her probably means they're gonna put it past them, since if he can they can. That was literally why they weren't afraid of Two in the first place because if Shining Armor who they did so much to wasn't afraid of them, why should they be?

They're still Equestria but better in every way.

>>26032668
Nah, Shiny just did it better than AJ did. He actually got out in public with this "See? They're not so bad" at the start, AJ just kept sending the one changeling out randomly and never being seen with any of the others or stopping the guard from harassing them. It literally took, like, two days in Canterlot for them to go 'hey, maybe they aren't so bad?' when AJ did her field trip and Ponyville was almost easy with it that day, it's just bad timing that it wasn't already fixed. If anything, what proves that they're really the same is that they immediately started wondering if Chrysalis was really still evil, even though she's saved them twice, they just didn't want to look like dicks about it while they snooped around in her stuff, all because Chrysalis didn't go out and mingle with them. They're fine with the other lings, because they do mingle, but instantly they got suspicious of the one who didn't.

Public image is everything.

Clearly, AJ should have adopted Two.

So I've just been wondering... In episodic terms, how much content do you think we have thus far? How many seasons you think? And how many episodes do you think each arc and mini-arc we've had would be?
>>
>>26034270
Lots, probably. Over 100 episodes to be sure, and that's if we leave out most of the fluff. Just the first three arcs alone are enough for their own seasons. Or if we cut it down immensely and made Chityy just the season finale, two of them at least. Cordy for sure is its own season.

Maybe 6, if we did it right? Could probably cut it down to 4 if we really skimmed
>>
>>26034270
I don't even know. Between the robots, the gala, the giant monster, the neverending mess that was Partyland, the freakin zombies, the move, the rescue / other invasion, and of course this recent one where AJ goes nuts, is a lot to take in. And that's not even getting into Mini's like to sleep over, or going underneath the castle, or just so many others. It would be a lot of seasons, or a lot of supplemental material.

That's the only thing I miss, really. And not just to spite Shiny, but because her clapbacks with Shiny were funny as all hell. Also, did she truly 'hate' him, or just find him an incompetent annoyance? I saw it as the latter, personally.

Wouldn't Canterlot accepting them lead to other towns in Equestria doing that as well? I mean it's one thing for the crystal utopia in the far north to do it, but the place that they actively tried to attack doing it would be far more effective.

Public image is everything.

>>26037397
Oh I didn't, but we had Pre-CE Bitch realize she couldn't do it. As long as she is caffeinated she is smart enough to know she can't win and she won't know about the heart so she won't have a way around not getting Shiny love

Also there is NO Twi-Crazy. Because Twi-Crazy is her guilt for Chitty arc, which only started because Chrysalis was telling Shiny about the other queens. No Shiny love, no Chitty, No Airhead Twilight.

>>26037409
Went small ball because RAWR NO OCs.

If No OC's then wouldn't we have to not include 2 and 42?

Or is that actually no 'Approved' OC's?
>>
>>26037418
>She didn't know about the heart

Not like it's going to stay hidden all that long. Then she's going to start plotting and never stop until she gets a hold of it, only this time she's not going to be trying not to blow up certain people, she's going to be worried about takin over, which she can do now. She's going to devote all her time to stealing that thing.

And the Chitty arc happened because she was suspicious of chrysalis, Shiny just showed her where Chitty was thanks to chrysalis asking him to go check on her, she could have done that herself just as easily and set the whole thing off.
>>
>>26037448
More, We can't go to new places because named characters don't exist there Than cull are current lot.

>>26037456
Okay, who does she tel the story to to go check if she is still dead so Twilight can be suspicious and go release her? In fact without Shiny we don't have stupid changeling powers or movie night so Chitty doesn't even become a concept. And she didn't ask him, HE wanted to check.

I mean I know you want her to be evil but she wasn't even that much of a bitch or that good at scheming until she left Canterlot. She was just an idiot watching romance movies and content not to do anything.
>>
>>26037508
No, she asked him to go check because she didn't want to look suspicious by going out and leaving her self. That whole, whether or not she would even exist, that's a bit meta so bringing that up is kind of a moot point. And she was always good at scheming obviously, she just didn't get her drive back until she had a way to win. He just kind of gave up when discord kicked her ass. She wouldn't have him to go check on the ice in this timeline, but she still wanted to do it, so she would still be under suspicion by Twilight, and the whole thing will get set off anyway. Assuming that the guy who wrote that had the same idea of course.

She wasn't content not to do anything, she had given up because she didn't think she could win. With the heart, that all changes.
>>
>>26037528
Okay, smartass. Pick a pony in Canterlot to plop in Shiny's spot. One she can trust enough to share with, (Twilight was the only other one she shared anything with early thread as she let her do medical research). Because this entire discussion is a Meta "What if we just kept lings away from Canada" saying "Well that's meta it doesn't count" is not an argument. Just face the fact that the ling you love to hate wouldn't be a threat, Twilight wouldn't almost kill everyone, Changelings wouldn't be the root of all problems, and AJ would have all the development.

If we treat the filler as filler eps and include the fact that we have the first 78 episodes of FiM in our canon as well huh....
Being that the res of season 4 is only 13 eps and we only get 26 a season Add to it we need to edit the format to be 1hr long and have Soap Opera esc bouncing around and we get
>rest of Season 4
Opening, Pit-mini, 77 story is CMC episodes and end at the end of Blueblood's insurrection
>Season 5
Starts with the Gala 2.0, mid-season is gun club fights, Chitty's release and defeat end the season
>Season 6
Pommel replaces 77 as CMC episodes, starts with getting Arana, season ends with Partyland setup
>Season 7
Partyland/32mini/GuardVChangelingVPlushie
> Season 8
Fillydelphia fight, 18 mini, all the cordy hints from early thread to now are just put in episodes during this season to make it a continuous slow burn end with that dipshit hitting 88 with a Changeling infusion
>Season 9
thread 50 is episode 1, Pommel end episode 2, the rest of the season is Cordy and aftermath, ends with AJ leaving the farm
>Season 10
First 3 Eps is her return and Glimmer&NTL’s baby, Mid-season is Spitfire fight and Sunset arrival, season ends with Chrysalis and Hallucinated Chitty after Pommel’s elevation the captain
>Season 11
Everything from Armbreak to Rage-mode
>Season 12
First half is 12 and Varry, second half is Sunset and Christmas
>season 13
DnD&Wonderbolts are first half, everything to the end of thread 99, thread 100 ends the season
>Season 14
Thread 101 to AJ’s speech in full power armor
>Season 15
Setup and Beach arc
So at the end of this arc we should have 377 episodes.
>>
>>26037564
>Pick a pony in Canterlot to plop in Shiny's spot.

I can't, none of them fit, so she would go check herself, which means Twilight would be extra suspicious of her, which means she would still get followed, which means she would still let Chitty out.

If we kept the lings from Canada, then Chrysalis's gag becomes about trying to break in there and steal the Heart.

>Just face the fact that the ling you love to hate wouldn't be a threat,

Kay?

>Twilight wouldn't almost kill everyone,
Assuming the guy didn't have the same idea, the setup is there, Twilight just doesn't feel AS bad afterwards, and thus misses out on her development.

>Changelings wouldn't be the root of all problems,

Yes they would, as Chrysalis's gags were still pretty damn prevalent wellllll before she moved over there. Like, she was pretty much second billing from thread 2 on.

>and AJ would have all the development.

...From what?

Her just going "Alright, stop worryin' about the changelings!" isn't development, especially not early thread, it's her telling everyone what to do again because she wants her way again and is too stubborn to do anything else.

And I only say "Going all meta if the idea would exist at all" is moot is because, you know... maybe things just get boring with no conflict and the thread ends after the gala, because nothing else really gets set up and without Chrysalis's parts there's no 32 or whatever, so maybe interest just wanes because it's all about Spike right then, and he clearly didn't manage to really hold on to the spotlight or peoples attention, and this whole thing just ends around thread 10. Going down if someone would have an idea or not is a dangerous road.

>>26037605
> You know, the guy we aren't having them interact with.
So then she does something else to get the Heart? Which... is what we're talking about, yes.

She'd still go after it, and never stop trying to take over, is the point.
>>
>>26037628
This all looks good, just one slight change.

>Season 6
Pommel replaces 77 as CMC episodes, starts with getting Arana, second half is Hunt for Chitania and Trainfight, season ends with Partyland setup after the fight
>>
>>26037640
>she sent him because she didn't want be suspicious If she doesn't have him she suddenly doesn't care about raising suspicion
That is what you said
>the setup is there regardless
except literally everything but Twilight doesn't like her
>Changelings have to be causing everything bad
Blueblood, Flim and Flam, Fawntine, Stallingrad, Pennydrop, Gryphons, Pirates, the populous. All could be motivated without bugs
>AJ would develop because she would solve it instatly
No, she would get development because everyone would gravitate to her and Spike by default.
Speaking of Spike, I already had 42 being taken in by Equestria instead of the empire and supplementing Spike, So he doesn't get pigeonholed into "Asshole with a gun"
She didn't know about the heart until she was already there, her plan until that point was fuck Shiny, drain him, and win. and so what if she gets the heart, she is all powerful for 10 mins and then dies because no one gives enough of a fuck about her to revive her.

You're clearly baiting at this point. I'm done with you.
