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 128! Years later, and still feeling great!

"GAH! Honey, what's wrong!?"
>Oh, Cadence! I just had the worst dream! Everyone, literally everyone, was an alicorn except for me! I was the only one in the whole world not an alicorn!
"Oh, Shiny! How terrible. But it's okay, it's just a dream, everyone isn't an alicorn."
>Yeah... yeah...
"Just me and Celestia and Luna and Twilight and Applejack and Rarity and Fluttershy!"
>...
"And look on the bright side, you never have to worry about outliving anyone! We're all going to do that instead!"
>...
"And don't worry, I promise I'm not going to remarry... maybe have a long string of lovers in a desperate need to fill the gaping hole of love in my life you'll leave behind, desperately chasing any thrill or deviancy in order to fill it, but you're the only one I'll ever marry!"

"Feel better?"

"Well, goodnight!"

SPINNNNNN!
"Oh, Shiny, don't be silly! It's only a vacation when we do it, you'll actually die you silly mortal!"

>>26739492
Oh hey! There's the AJ that started it all.
So many memories.
>>26739667
Holy shit, that's like, all of Shiny's early thread gags rolled into one.
>Everyone is an alicorn except Shiny
>Shiny abuse
>Cadence is oblivious

Pffft, that's silly! That would never happen!
...Kinda sad that's the only one.

Hey, he's not getting his ass kicked. It's not all of them.

In the feels mate, his ass is getting kicked in the feels.
>>26739926
I don't see Trixie ever pulling that off. So... There's that. I mean, it isn't much, but it's something...
>>26740081
You never know, she might get overloaded on ghost kid Power and somehow ascend that way. It could happen.
>>26739667
Well, look on the positive side, at least in this universe, your kid isn't an Alicorn yet.
I mean, she almost certainly will be, and you probably did knock up your wife on that train bit, but for the moment at least.
>>26740300
Is it autistic to think we'd make Flurry Heart lovable?
>>26740346
Probably, yeah. I mean, I think we actually could do it by having cute little sister moments, and having two come to terms with not being the only child, but learning to love her anyway, but that doesn't mean it's not that
>Lavan
"???"
'???'
>-I mean, sure, I may have collapsed a few civilizations, and yes I may have caused TWO species of sentient creatures to go extinct, but I'm not a bad person, right?
"I'm...not...suuuuure..."
>I mean, no one alive today has met a Grundle and frankly, that pleases me.
"What's...a...Gru-"
>I mean, you probably don't even know what a Grundle is. Horrible awful creatures. Made as a prank, by the way.
"-uuuundle? ...by wh-"
>See a long long long time ago, and I mean long. Millennia even, Father Bull -god of the Minotaurs- and Grogar -god of the Goats- got really really tired of Discord being...well Discord. I miss Discord, by the way. You never really know who your real friends are until you're trapped inside a meteor for eons with no contact. Shame I kept pushing him away, he always had the best jokes...by pushing him away I mean I tried to kill him. Violently. A lot. Where was I?
"-maaaade...the...Grundles? ...you...were...talking...about-"
>Oh right! So the two of them devised a plan, you see, they made the Grundles, hideous foul-smelling little rock creatures of pure order. Not a drop of chaos in them. Their job was to seek out chaos and...annoy it.
"-Grogar...and...Father...Buuuull. ...what...do...you...m-?"
>Just like I said, annoy anything to do with chaos. Mostly by singing. They figured if they made Discord mad enough, he'd beg them to get rid of the Grundles. But there was a problem with this plan, of course.
'I don't know why you're waiting for a response. Poor Tank here can barely keep up.'
1/2
>>26740677
>Exactly, small lizard, every mortal has at least a little chaos in their life. So now you have legions of little rock monsters running around singing horribly annoying songs while Discord just laughs and laughs. He had a nice laugh, it pleases me to remember it. But yes, by the time me and my siblings destroyed them, we were celebrated by the whole planet as heroes...y'know until we started trying to destroy everyone again. Nostalgia. This pleases me.
"...you...scare...me."
'Me too, Tank, but hey, he's keeping us warm while he yammers on.'
>Hm, I wonder...that pony from before was a chaos wielder! Perhaps she could put me on the trail of my old friend! Ta-ta small reptiles!
'Aw awww, come on, come back here! ...darn big guys, always gotta be going off on their weird adventures. Right, Tank?'
"...Back...to...the-"
'Heat lamp? Yyyyep, let's get a move on!'

Twi and Chrissy science shenanigans.

someone give gummy and whinoa horns and wings.
>>26741609
Damn it, I already thought of her. That is what this thread does to me.
I'm fucking ruined,
Discord. It's all coming to a head now, isn't it? All the messing around, all of his shenanigans...
>>26741704
Ok and this time we need to make AJ and Celestia responsible instead of shirking their responsibilities for Sunet like cunts
>>26741704
He couldn't run forever, goody?
>>26742114
... Well, technically could, chaos and all that. But I get your point.
>>26739492
>Shitpost about a Moth on Applejack's face creates moth ponies... Shitpost of Applejack as Princess creates /pa/ threads.
Is Applejack the creator Pone? Or are the Thread Ghost Trans-Thread-mensional forces?
The implications of both are staggering... we may never know the truth.

when she was first announced our first thought was that we could have her be the ultimate straight man and playing roulette at age 10 from all the bullshit that goes on in this world

>I was going for dramatic entrance.

>And... then you know, you would talk about your issue.

>That was the plan at least. I... I do the thing and then you talk.

LAST THREAD RECAP, DISCO'S IN TROUBLE EDITION!
>Canterlot ponies fucking love assembling for announcements.
>Twilight wonders the odds of Dash's plan working, Pinkie points out how unlikely all the other shit they do is.
>Lavan goes around visiting the pets. It's unknown if they can understand them, or if he's just talking.
>13 and SN, looking for Chitty, discover that at some point she left the Empire. This worries them. 13 tries to fly them both to Canterlot, but due to her being sick she can't, so they have to take a train.
>Dash thinks her plan is great, until her friends point out she needs to know Wonderbolt history to pass the trials, and she realizes she never learned any of that. She starts freaking out.
>Pennydrop claims all of this is just as planned. What wasn't planned was her and Gwen getting locked in a freezer.
>Shining Armor isn't wearing a hot pink codpiece for Cadence.
>Knowing the technique at last, Sunset is skeptical if it will actually work. Chitania assures her it will, and that it must be this spell specifically, not unicorn or chaos magic. So, Sunset has no option but to wait for her to actually figure it out.
>Or does she?
>When pressed, Chitania reveals there may be a way to have her learn it instantly, and it involves Sunset giving Chitania her prodigal skill on the matter. It's a risk, but Sunset takes it.
>41 and SP wonder if they were going to do something.
>88 decides she is going to do a job. What job? No idea!
>SA has to admit the Hyperspace update is better than the original.
>LD laments that she hasn't won... yet.
>BBB, having revealed himself, meets up with 10 and Trender, and they prepare to leave, but don't quite make it out yet.
>They're distracted by a voice, a set of antlers, and a very important question.
>~Tell me, Ms Ten, was it?... Would you like to hear a story?~
1/5Damnson!
>>26743465
>Antlers shows up on the scene, and asks if Ten would like to hear his story. A tale of wonder and woe, of digging yourself up from the ashes and building anew, a tale that shows that anyone can overcome the odds. Does she want to know it?
>NOPE!
>She says she sees right through him, and that he doesn't tell it like it is, more how it looks 'for the story'. He's great at weaving a tale, but not so much all the dirty bits, the bad bits and what have you.
>He admits its' true and says she's free to go, but there is so much more she hasn't seen yet, so maybe just letting Trender and the prisoners go free while she investigates is the better option.
>She says normally she wouldn't leave until every secret was found, but this time, she's not just risking herself and BBB, but them too. She won't do that. He's not pleased.
>So, instead, he tries to kill everyone with robots and lasers.
>The battle is on! BBB VS Four more advanced models, back and forth and tearing each other apart.
>In the end, thanks to some lucky and a well timed moment playing dead, BBB wins, and the others are destroyed.
>After blowing up yet another trap of landmines, again after Antlers claimed there was nothing there, she and Trender flee with the other prisoners, free at last!
>But it seems Antlers, even if he didn't get everything he wanted, got something out of this...
>Lucky at last gives his report to AJ, who forces him to take some times off. She laments her shock that something so horrible was right under her nose the whole time, and remembers her talk with Sweet Note...
>Speaking of, Sweet Note attempts to make small talk with 13. It does not work.
>Trixie is grousing that she's not famous in front of 29's fridge.
>Idris decides to have a talk with his wife, and takes an airship to Canterlot.
>An airship he promptly crashes into a mountain while trying to 'take a shortcut', to his captains protests.
2/5FIVESON
>>26743473
>He and said captain are now stranded and trying to walk towards a train, and get accosted by dragons who are looking for Chitania for revenge.
>The Captain points them towards Canterlot, and tells them to fuck her up. Because Griffons still hate Chitty.
>Later, they manage to find a train and get on it, only to discover it has another passenger who slept too long, again.
>Cheese is not happy.
>SA, Cadence and 18 have their date!... By locking themselves in the castle and barricading the doors. Things go awry when they have to use the bathroom.
>29, in the middle of a talk with the mayor, is suddenly tackled out of his office!
>The culprit is none other than 56, who was worried about him and thinking he was dead.
>The two have a heart to heart about things that had gone unsaid, and 56 says he at last understands just how much 29 has done for him. 29, in turn, says he'll always be there for him, whenever he needs it.
>29 is going to have to pay for that wall, though.
>After showing her how to do the mindlink, Chitania asks if Sunset is ready. She is hesitant at first, but eventually resolves that she has to do this if she wants to be normal again. Even knowing that things might go wrong, that Chitania might get more than just how to do that technique, she risks it all.
>Spitfire learns of Dash's challenge, and feels like she's taunting her with the prospect of having her old team back. This makes her angry.
>Pinkie is good at massages and might be a neurosurgeon.
>2 wants to know why AJ never visits them, and SA has to make up an excuse not involving Chrysalis.
>So, instead, she visits AJ, and long story short, makes a hotel out of cushions. Because why not.
>SA finds Chrysalis doing paperwork, doesn't know how to react.
3/5FIIIIVE
>>26743491
>Quicksilver gets AJ to tell Gambling to forgive all his debts, which shouldn't technically be legal but they roll with it. Sadly, he came at a bad time, as Gambling is trying out his new invention, slots!
>Long story short, Quicksilver needs another napkin telling Gambling to let it go...
>A professor named Brass Pommel wants to study the morlocks and sends a request to 32 for assistance. It's received by Actarius, who laments everyone is crazy.
>Finally, Chitania and Sunset, after some deliberation, connect their minds.
>AJ learns about Stalliongrad and reaches for the good old russian roulette headache medicine.
>Speaking of done, Applebloom is just done. She's sitting down and eating tacos in the facility's cafeteria, and she is just done.
>What's the deal with the monsters, why is there a doll that looks like Sweetie Belle, where is the real SB, who even made those tacos or what are they made of? She does not give a fuck. She's sitting down, cause she is done.
>Jetset talks with the Nightgard captain, who during said discussion sets off his... problem with mares.
>Dash is apparently allergic to certain kinds of oil.
>SA tries to have a relaxing moment to himself, but Celly is having a bad day and needs to vent, so she headbutts him until he hugs her.
>She doesn't want to talk about it, he doesn't ask about it. They're like that.
>Luna is proud of 29, but chooses not to tell him so he won't get a big head. Celly does not comment on how bad an idea this is.
>With Sunset and Chitania, something has gone terribly wrong.
>Inside the mindscape, everything looked to be going smoothly, with Sunset bringing up the memory of how to perform the changeling technique and preparing to send it, when a slipup on Sunset's part resulted in a huge wave of her memories spilling out and getting lost in the shuffle.
4/5SERIOUSLY
>>26743499
>Even though Chitania could easily take advantage in this situation and get all of Sunset's mind and skills, she instead demands that they sever the connection before things get worse.
>Instead, Sunset insists on it, stating that at the very least, the memory she wants to send is in there. She'll lose those other memories too, but they're worth it if it means Chitania gets the ability now, not later.
>Reluctantly, Chitania accepts, and absorbs the memories.
>Outside, she tests her new skills, and find they work. When offered, Sunset doesn't care what memories she ended up getting, her sole focus on if Chitania can finally fix her, which the Queen says yes.
>Excited and hopeful, Sunset lays down and Chitania gets ready to begin, telling Sunset to hold still because the chaos will be hard enough to deal with on her own.
>Sunset shoots up, suddenly terrified at the thought, and chastising Chitania for trying to put chaos into her.
>Annoyed, Chitania says she's not putting chaos IN her, she's taking it OUT of the stone.
>Soon, Sunset puts it together, and all the things that didn't make sense fall into place. She understands why everything went so wrong with her experiment in the first place.
>"Discord..."
>Everything has changed.
Sorry if I missed anything this go round, bit more happenings than usual and a lot of sillies in there.
But hey, at least you get to yell at me for missing it, that's something!
>AJ
"Celestia"
~~
>Ohhhh dear.
She had brought out the rum cake.
The big, caramel covered, yet somehow mostly alcohol cake.
Not good.
"Just be thankful I didn't bring out the death by chocolate."
>Is that the really chocolate one, or the one with the bomb in it so you ain't gotta deal with this shit no more?
"Second one."
>Ahhhh... so, guess ya' heard the news?
"Which one."
>Kinda sucks that you can ask that, and Ah've got like three answers that all are pretty bad...
"Stalliongrad. Stalliongrad! Really!"
>Yep... kinda makes us look bad that Ten had ta' go get him.
"How does any of this not make us look bad!? No, seriously, name one event that has happened in the last three months that makes us look good!"
>...huh.
"Exactly!"
>So... ya' gonna share?
"No. This is my cake. I need it."
>Please?
"...You can have a slice if I can have some cider."
>Ehhh... deal, but only a shot. Fairs fair.
"Fine."
>...Celly?
"Hm?"
>What the fuck happened to our lives?
"Oh, Applejack... it's always been this bad."
>>26743730
And that my dear Applejack, is why Celestia stopped trying all those years ago.
>>26743748
If that whole shit between Sunset, Discord and Chitania hits the fan, AJ will propably start drinking heavily and start seeing it Celly's way.
>>26743811
Alternatively he, we make her blast her ass off in WORK WORK WORK to fix this situation.
Cos that's how AJ do
Work herself to death

"Pommel (the Bronze One)"
'Snake Eyes'
>So, this is him, huh?
"Yes, Princess."
'Finally, I was wondering when you guys would get back to little old me.'
>Sorry to keep you waiting, I had a prior obligation.
'Isn't it odd that the more Princesses you add, the less seems to get done? I guess it's that the wait for cakes gets longer.'
>More of a hayburger girl, myself.
'Oh really? I always fancied Palamino Bros. Pizza myself, lovely pepperoni, they actually make it from peppers, cute pun, huh?'
>Very.
"Uhm, Princess, aren't we here to interrogate him?"
'It's called establishing rapport, thank you. Ugh, where'd you dig this guy up from, huh? Did you make a mannequin come to life and think it was a guard?'
"..."
>Captain Pommel was voted into his position by his peers.
'Oh, so he reeeeally sucks at it, then. Those dickheads couldn't guard a room full of cake. Literally. It was a disgrace!'
"Princess are we really going to let this clown just yammer on?"
>The sooner he sees I'm not fazed by it, the sooner he'll get to the point.
'True, but I still got some chuckles to wring out of Joneigh here. How's it feel knowing you sucked so bad at being a hero, you made your best friend go crazy and become a villain?'
"Shut up."
'Awww, I think I hurt his feelings.'
>Enough, Mr. Snake Eyes.
'Oh please, call me Snake. It's not my real name, but I feel like we should be on a first fake name basis.'
>I've read the report on you-
'All my money back and a pardon.'
>...excuse me?
'You read my file, you know what I did. I'm guilty, I'm not gonna split hairs here, but I'm also a business stallion and I am naming my price.'

'Isn't it? You don't have a use for me in this cage, what you really want is what's in my head, what I know. And in these turbulent days you can't just simply suck my brains out, so I'm removing the need for tedious hm'ing and hawing. I am giving you the answer to your questions for the low low price of my freedom and cash. I call that a bargain.'
>Hmm...
"Y-your highness?"
>No deal.
'Awww, what a shame, do I need to adjust the deal?'
>You need to sit in that cell for a little while, get yourself comfortable, and come to terms with the fact that unless you tell us why you did what you did to that changeling, things are only going to get worse for you. Have a nice day. Come with me, Captain.
"Yes, your majesty."
'Ooh, lovely. Well you have a nice day too. When you're ready to give up on this farce, you know where to find me!'
Slam!
'...this isn't so bad.'
Chitter.
'Hm? Oh...a gross little cockroach, did the changeling send you?'
Chitter...chitter chitter.

"So... ya' just put a buncha stuff in there and ya' drink it? Ain't ya' gonna choke?"

>Look, you're not failing anywhere, it's just... I think you have a 'problem'.
"I don't understand."
>I think you're addicted to teleporting.
"Majesty! How absurd, whatever gave you that idea?"
>I know you were outside the door when I called.
"I thought it more important to get to you quickly."
>You were right next to the door.
"A half second turning a knob is a half second my majesty needs me."
>I also know you teleported to get bread at the table before.
"It was rude to reach."
>And I also know you teleported to tell Cadence dinner was ready... While she was in the room.

>And you teleported to use the bathroom last night, despite being right next to the thing.

Let her lose to 41 in a hoof wrestling match because of a building muscle atrophy from never actually walking anywhere anymore. That'll shock her out of it (and make 41 feel good about herself at least once).

...oh boy. Someone write that....

~~~
If any thought it odd to see a massive box with two tiny purple legs skittering underneath it, the castle staff was so far past caring it no longer even registered.
>Alright... oils, cider cake and candles, I'm all set! Don't worry, Applejack, loverboy is going to make it all better-
"Oh come on!"
>...
Slowly, he set the box down. He looked left, he looked right, but he couldn't see where the all too familiar voice had shouted from.
>...and then maybe... maybe I'll get her some cider-
"Really!?"
He spun around, but nothing.
>...And maybe get her some apples-
"For fucks sake!"
>AH HAH-WAH!
He spun around again, just a bit too quickly this time, and ended up face first on the ground.
>...Nobody saw that, right?
"I did!"
A hoof stamped down on his tail, jerking him back onto both solid legs with a spring.
His claws groped behind his head a bit, grabbing onto something he found was very thin, and very, very tall.
Very tall and full of holes.
>...Please be Chitania.
"It's not."
>Damn.
"Wow, that's insulting."
The look he gave the only other living changeling Queen could have flattened steel if only it had the power.
>Us, insulting each other? Noooo.
"Pfft, even when I wouldn't save you if you were drowning, I didn't bring out my best stuff.
>Oh I'm sure, I totally believe you, look at all the belief on my-WAH!
Her hoof jerked up, and face down he went.
"...Huh."
Hoof go down, drake come up.
Hoof go up, drake go down.
"Hee hee."
>CUT IT OUT!
If he hadn't scampered away, it's doubtful she ever would have.
>What do you want, Chrysalis!?
"...Oh! Right, damn you get me distracted all the time... yeah, what the fuck are you doing?"
Pointedly, she gestured to all the boxes.
>Not that it's any of your business, but after reality decided to run a train on my Applebutt, I figured, you know, do something to make her feel not so terrible! I know, weird concept for you.
1/2
>>26745150
"...Okay, do you know what 'run a train on someone' means? Interesting mental image for you to bring up."
His eyes darted back and forth, but he scoffed all the same.
>Pffft, of course I do. I bet you don't, though.
"Oh... huh, didn't think you had that kind of relationship, but good for you?"
>Thanks! And I mean that, I'm not sarcastic, because I know what that means.
"Right... anyway, Lizardo? Need to talk about the box with the stuff, it's-"
>Look, I know it's hard to wrap your head around, but this is a relationship. A RELATIONSHIP. I'm sure this looks weird to you, considering nobody would ever do the same, but this is what we do, okay? She feels bad, so I've got to roll in and do all this and make it better. Okay? This gotten through your head? I know, you aren't in a relationship, so you don't get it, but just try to trust me on this one. Got it?
He didn't know what he expected, but the single raised eyebrow probably was close enough.
>Good, now if you don't mind...
With that, he picked up his boxes, huffed, and started to walk away. She waited, unmoving but watching, until he disappeared around the corner.
"...Huh. I actually feel sorry for the poor guy. That's a weird feeling. Then again... maybe he's right."
Rather than walk, she decided to teleport away. She so loved conjuring the flames all around her.
"Maybe Applejack just prefers the same old same old, who knows? It's her life, I suppose..."
A long, wicked smile crept along her lips as the flame rose higher.
"If nothing else, I guess... you called it, Shiny."
With a flippant, yet amused scoff, she was gone.
"I guess I owe you a cake after all."
>>26745212
>"Maybe Applejack just prefers the same old same old, who knows? It's her life, I suppose..."
...Huh. They do mostly do the same stuff, don't they?
SA and Cadence go on dates to weird locations, cuddle in bed, go on vacations together, watch movies, eat together, play OnO together, talk about their problems and fears, and generally just have a nice time in each other's company.
SA and Celestia/Chrysalis are that minus the date thing, but plus going out on wild adventures where they get into kooky situations like snowboarding down a mountain with their hooves tied behind their back. They trust each other and lean on each other when they have problems.
SA and 18 do that, minus the whacky antics, plus the date thing, plus share responsibilities and look out for each other, and are pretty openly affectionate.
Him and Cadence/42, despite her attempts to close off from them so that it stays impersonal, are somehow more deeply connected than most, simply from her undying loyalty and the open admission of how she feels about both of them, and her dedication to put them above herself.
Spike/Aj has mostly superficial stuff, with the exception of the date 100 threads ago(Literally)
Damn it, do some sweet and cuddly things you two! The fucking socially awkward punchlover should not be schooling you both on this one!
>>26745346
It's been said before, but the Aj/Spike thing is all about being chill. No relationship drama, no crazy shit happening, just two folks who like being with each other.
Admittedly, not very exciting, but that's the draw. If they went crazier, it wouldn't be what made it unique.
>>26743811
I still see her drinking heavily regardless.
Before finding some way to kick Discord in the dick, I mean.
>Spike

>Alright, almost there, then AJ's gonna feel all better.
"Hey, dragon dude."
>Huh? Oh, uh, hi?
"I need files and permits and stuff to get a job, ya mind?"
>Job? What kind of job are you after-wait, you can SEE now!?
"Yeah, I can, yadda yadda, thank the big ball of fire. What do I gotta sign to be a private investigator?"
>A what?
"A private investigator? Private eye? Person who solves mysteries for people?"
>Why the heck do you wanna be one of those? Seems kind of out of nowhere...
"Look, it's a long story but I need to make good memories, good memories come from helping people, and I can help tons if I become a P.I. Also? Detectives are awesome."
'She has a point, Spike!'
"See? Marshmallow lady's got my back, air-hoof, your majesty!"
'Woo!'
>Uh...sure, I'll see what I can dig up for you to sign, but can it wait? Kind of in the middle of something here.
"Oh yeah, yeah."
>Good now-
"I'm just gonna wait outside your door so you can't weasel out of it."
>...gee, thanks.
"It's called being determined, gotta have that in this line of work."

>>26745572
It took me a second to realize that was Rarity talking, and I cant's stop laughing at the mental image that she just appears whenever someone talks about that.
>>26745572
that numbers going to start going up, 88, Applejack is definitely going to appreciate what spike is about to do for her.
>>26745605
The fact he's going in there to cheer up AJ when Rarity is right there is a little... mean though.
Could have at least invited her in.
>>26745605
>>26745882
I just kind of imagine her further down the hall, hence why 88 went for an 'air hoof'.
>>26745910
Spike should still be able to hear her or whatever.
Guess that Sparijack ain't in the running no more?
>>26746086
To be fair, was it ever REALLY in the running?
Sparity is more underdeveloped than freaking Spitfire/SA, and those two don't even like each other that way!
>>26746127
/PA/ DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO WRITE SPIKE, MORE NEWS AT 11
>>26746246I really don't...
>>26746246
we did do well writing him back in the early threads, if anything we wrote him too well
but christ, we dropped the ball afterwards
>>26746086
>Guess that Sparijack ain't in the running no more?
Still in the running because it hasn't been knocked down. Which means, essentially, the option is there and it wouldn't be contradictory to a previous story. All that matters is if someone puts in the effort to actually make it happen.
Cause that's all that matters, if someone actually wants to see it enough they put words to screen. If not, eh, no big deal.
>>26746342
>if anything we wrote him too well
I fear the opposite. We stripped down all his childlike innocence and fun in order to make him more 'badass' and 'cool', and then we tried to make him a player who has all the ladies coming after him while failing to define his relationship with any of them, when that fell through and the ones we tried attaching to him got their own stories and character, he came up a little short.
We took away too much and shoved in too little. He was less of a character than he was on the show, and I fear that is probably what killed his momentum when the action scenes ended.
>>26746422
...shit, we made him Kirito, didn't we
>>26746438
I don't know who that is but I'm going to assume that's bad.
>>26746463
be glad you didn't know until now, but Kirito is the MC from Sword Art Online, a hideously bad light novel anime adaptation.
Not that the light novels were any better

"Chitania"
~~~
Chaos.
That word kept ringing in Sunsets head, screaming and wailing the wind in a hurricane. That singular word and the magic it held was stronger than any spell she could ever have cast, it had nothing to do with the unstoppable properties of the mystical power in question. As with all things, knowledge was the true power, understanding was the real might.
Understood, she did.
It all made so much sense now, the pony would forever think herself a fool for not seeing it the moment it had happened. That it had taken her this long, that it had taken the words of one so very far beneath her own supposed intellect to bring it to light was a shame, and not one she was not sure she would ever be able to forgive herself for.
With her words, it all made sense.
>There's... there's chaos in me.
"Did your really not know that?"
If the words were mocking, or sincere, Sunset would never know. The ringing in her ears were so loud she could just barely make it out, let alone discern the tone of said words. All she could think about was that day, that horrid day, where it had all gone wrong. All she could think about was the pain, the sight of her life seeping out of her, the thoughts she would die there, alone, forgotten. All she could think about was that moment.
Now, she knew why it had come to be.
>...I'll...
She knew who had brought it to be.
>I'll... get him.
She knew why her experiment had gone so terribly awry, why it had taken everything from her at a moment's notice. She knew, at last, who had killed her.
>I'll get him for this...
And who to return the favor to.
>I'll get him... I'LL GET HIM FOR THIS-
"Be silent."
A hoof as big as her chest effortlessly forced her down, pinning her to the bed once more. She struggled and wiggled, but it would not let her up.
>HEY!
"You were going to rant, I have no time for this."
No time.
There was no time. She was right.
1/5
>>26747131
She had waited so long, given up so much just so she didn't have to wait a second longer, lost so much in the pursuit, time was no longer an option. Time was her enemy. There was no time.
>Y-yeah... yeah..
She relaxed, as best she could with the turbulent roar in her mind, put the screeching thoughts to rest as best she could, for the moment. There was no time for that, no time to dwell on the being of chaos, no time to ponder just how she was going to strip him down of everything he ever held dear until he was nothing but a dried up husk to remain. No time for that, not yet.
That day would come. She would relish it, when she had the time. But there was no time for that. Now was the time to live.
>...How did you know?
The lack of struggling seemed to be all the Queen needed, to content her enough to let her go.
"I didn't, until just before I made my offer. To be frank, I had no idea how to fix you, before that. However, when I learned of the chaos... it became easier."
That cylinder, the object that had started off this shocking revelation, was held up as if to be put on display.
"This little beauty reacted, it all became clear."
The cylinder opened, the metal door sliding out with a hiss of pressurized air. Its contents, barely visible, emerged.
A single, almost ethereal, strand of pink hair.
>How did you get that?
"Your friend never told you? You were in the room when I ordered the procedure."
The tone of her voice spoke of amusement, the twinkle in her eye of curiosity. Sunset didn't know which to believe.
>No... she didn't. She never told me what you wanted done, or what happened.
"Ah... well, I suppose it doesn't matter."
Delicately, with all the grace of a surgeon, she wrapped the hair around a long, thin piece of metal, until it was tied so tightly as to not fall free.
"What matters now is your life, yes?"
Her heart fluttered as only a rock could at the words, and their truth.
>You're going to take all the chaos out, right?
2/5
>>26747141
"Mm... not all of it. Some will need to be left in, so as not to upset the intertwining of changeling and unicorn magic. But I will have to remove quite a bit. Otherwise, the chaos will undo all of my work mid transformation. Too much left in, and it will snap back without all the power needed to function, and you will die. Too little and it will unravel, and you will die. I will have to be very... delicate about this."
It wasn't encouraging, if anything the thought of the Titan doing something delicate conjured up more images of humor than it did capability, but it was too late. She couldn't turn back now. She was too close, she had lost too much, if she gave up now, she would never go back.
It was worth the risk.
"This procedure will take some time, I should warn you. It will take a great deal of magic, some skill, and some techniques I did not show you, but have no fear, I am at least skilled with them enough to assure all should go as planned. But for you... it will take only a second."
Her ebony horn sparked, no doubt a spell meant to knock her out so that she would not fight back or involuntarily jerk.
"I am about to put you under, so I will ask one more time. Do you want me to go through with this?"
>Yes.
There hadn't been any hesitation, not for a moment.
"Then... sleep-"
>WAIT!
A thought had seized her, just as suddenly as she herself had seized the now very shocked, and even more annoyed, changeling. Her eyes were every bit as wide as the Queen's were narrowed, and their emotions every bit as opposite as that.
"Of all the fucking time to-"
>N-no! No, not that, I still want you to go through with it. It's just...
"Just what?"
The Queen huffed, shaking her hoof loose from the terrible grip. So wound up, she was ready to punch.
>... t-tell them, please.
All of the power that had been building up for that punch faded away, by nothing but a whisper.
"What?"
>...I know this will look bad for you if... if something goes wrong.
3/5
>>26747155
A shudder wracked the pony's body, her mouth would have gone dry had that not been it's default state at this point.
>I know you would have ever reason... probably should hide it, if something just doesn't... work. You could get away with it, nobody saw me come in, nobody knows I'm here, nobody would know, and if you were found you'd be blamed, but...
Had tears been able to fall, she feared they would never stop pouring.
>...I don't want to die forgotten again.
She all but wretched at the thought, the memory fate had not been merciful enough to take from her with the others.
>I don't want to know I might die in some room, without anybody there who cares, and... and nobody would ever know, until my body got found sometime later. That I would just be... gone, and I don't even know when they would come looking... if they would come look at all.
Desperate, begging, pleading eyes met the Queen's wide and shocked ones, holding to her as tightly as her hoof did the Titanic chitin.
>If it goes wrong, just... promise me you'll tell them, so they'll know. Just so they don't wonder what... what happened to me. Just so they don't have to wait for me to come back... when I won't.
Sunset could never see it, but something stirred in the mind of the Titan Queen. A memory, much like how the pony saw her own, played out before her just as it had many times before.
A memory of a time when there were not so many in this world who knew her name. Of a time when those that did know her rarely had the word monster upon their tongue when they spoke of her, and when it was it was often well met. A time she remembered, she cherished despite the headache and heartache, a time she had lost.
She found herself wondering what had gone through the minds of her peers, when that time was taken from her in the depths of ice.
4/5
>>26747169
What had they thought, when they called, when they searched, and there was no sign of the one they so relied upon. What terrible thoughts of abandonment and spite had been in their hearts when they felt alone. What regrets did they have, of things left unsaid that could never be spoken.
She did not have to think long.
They had been the same thoughts that she herself had that faithful day, as she battled for her life in the valley of monsters. They had been the same words she desperately wished to say, to the one she was sure was gone forever, even if the simple closure of a cold and still body would never come.
She had thought about the things unsaid every day after that, until she had found peace with it. She would never know if the other Queens had done the same, only that all save one died without any knowledge of what had become of her, or even why she had gone away.
She would not lie to herself, the thought of abandoning the body in a ditch if this all went south had come to her, she had considered it, deeply. So few questions to answer, so little vengeance from misguided and oblivious souls to defeat, so much easier in whole.
"...Very well. But do not worry... that will not happen."
The Queen supposed she had never been one for the easy way.
>Thank you... thank you...
The sleep spell was conjured once more, and Sunset felt it sink into her as gently as a mother's touch. She felt reality, consciousness and time all leave her, as the world devoid dreams came to claim her once more.
She had given up so much, risked so much, done so many terrible things to get to this point. Things she could never take back, or undo. She had lost so many thing.
Yet, as the spell took hold, as the darkness became all consuming, for the very first time since she had gone through that mirror, she felt at peace, protected, and cared for.
For the first time since the day she had died.
Sunset Shimmer fell asleep with a smile...
And dreamed of a better tomorrow.

And when is she gonna tell them?
Cos if shit goes to fuck, better have someone on the horn instead of "Woops wrong artery.... oh fuck....ahhhhhhh- I should go"
>>26747300
Considering Sunset is literally suspended in a not-dead state by magic, and she's delicately using magic, if she slips up it's insta-death. She literally will not even bleed out.
So, it would be

>>26747374
You know what's funny? We could make this thing, that meeting with SunsetxAJ, totally hilarious and reconciling at the same time. But people want AJ and/or Celly to 'learn a lesson', which I can only guess is going follow the guideline of
>show up
>see what happened
>didn't do nothin to help
>feel like shit
>mope for a thread and a half

or something similar. And I am prepared for that.
>>26747516
>It's literally up to Chitty to protect her smile
Fight on, megabug, she's suffered enough at this point.
>>26747592
You fucking with me
We've talked endlessly how we coddled AJ, kept her mistakes from biting her in the ass and making other characters get hurt from the same issues.
And then we realised that this stunted her character dramatically compared to everyone else who became far more nuanced and developed characters for them.
Yeah yeah, you're tired of moping and shit but fuck man we've got something for her to grow on here, we can't squander that
So how 'bout
>show up
>see what happened
>didn't do nothin to help
>feel like shit
>Reconcile with X, express genuine regret and failure
>Understand how to better herself
>Forgiveness
>Reconcile
>>26747592
Well, how would you do it?
I mean, how would you have Sunset/AJ talk to each other in the hypothetical them meeting up after Sunset gets fixed. Or, do you mean have her appear during the surgery?
>>26746246
>>26746663
I can write Spike just fine too. It's just that I've stopped writing canon stories so he's sort of dropped. I've considered writing him doing random missions and solving crimes for AJ with Rarity being mission control, but I never get around to it.
>>26747660
Hey, once more unto the breach. Maybe keep the 'feel like shit' part to a reasonable twenty stories instead of an entire thread like in the past.Hyperbole, maybe, but it feels like it when stories head that way.
>>26747705
My way would most assuredly piss off everyone looking to see a lengthy angsty/emotional reconcile/heartfelt moment between AJxSunset, which would be about 98% of us, as I'd go right for the 'funny reconcile'.
>>26747806
>which would be about 98% of us, as I'd go right for the 'funny reconcile'.
...I'm genuinely curious how you could do that in this situation. Like, what, have her be fixed, meet up with Aj, do a joke and then it's all done?
I'm seriously trying to think on how that would go, and I'm coming up blank...
>>26747887
In short, badly
In long, really goddamn lazy and cannot be arsed because "ehhhh I don't want drama"
>>26747887
More than that. 'Right for the funny' doesn't necessarily mean half-assing it.
>>26747910
And I've written my fair of incredible angst/drama here, like Spike playing Russian Roulette with MM waaaaay back when, shoot, I wrote a lot of 'early gun crazy' Spike, and plenty more. So no, definitely not lazy, just having been in /pa/ since the beginning, I've become adapted to making nearly every situation funny or comedic in some way.
>>26747198
Wow. At this rate, I'm dead serious, Sunset is going to start thinking Chitty is her buddy and following her around.

"I just wanted stuff from you! GET OFF!"
>NOTICE ME!

Did Spike actually go into AJ's office here, or just through another door?
>>26749063
88 said she was waiting outside the office, so I guess the former?
>>26747265
It's kinda nice, isn't it? Both of them know what it's like to "Die" knowing that you won't be forgotten, but you probably won't be found until someone just accidentally stumbles across you either.
>>26748247
Maybe not that far, but I can see them actually connecting after this.
Big question is will AJ go easier on Chitty when she learns what happened.
>>26749848
What reason does AJ have to be upset at Chitty again?
>>26749875
...She's a horrible person who shows zero remorse for all the terrible shit she did, constantly boasts how she could easily crush everyone, almost walked away and let Canterlot be consumed by the apocalypse after she got what she wanted just because she was no longer in danger, made it very clear she has no qualms with crushing Canterlot again if they cross her, and is just generally very self centered and unpleasant to deal with?
She's not a monster, but she's hardly someone it would be realistic that most would want to hang out with.
>>26749848
I don't see why she would. She knows that she's getting something out of this, it's not because she's turned over a new Leaf or is trying to be better. Now, gave she had implied it was just because she could do it, or that even if Sunset couldn't deliver she would have done it anyway, AJ would have invited her over for apple fritters.
Context is important
Goodnight, thread.
>>26750938
Night, anon.
>>26749915
While that might true, honestly? I think this might also be something that either causes AJ to hug Chitty outright, or at least give her some heartfelt thanks. Sunset's condition was a big thing and AJ's rounded enough to look past initial dislike to the good deed done here regardless of an ulterior motive.
>>26751744
Sunset is, was and continues to be one huge fuck up. Her parents are dead, her position as Celestia's student gone, her life taken, her accomplishments and good intentions stopped because she lives in a care bear society where everyone prefers to hug the problems away, and now her magic and memories partially gone. How will she feel, when she realizes she can't recall her mother anymore or doesn't know what her human friends were like?
There's nothing she can do right. Whatever she tries goes wrong. I am surprised she hadn't snapped or gone into depression yet.
>>26739492
>alicorns
DROP IT!
>>26749915
So... She shows no remorse for being rudely awoken from her "imprisonment", and not realizing she was asleep for quite awhile and zeroing on the a familiar(See:Similar) changeling signature that belongs to the queen who put her there in the first place. Rampaging in a quest for revenge that was mostly justified and not really caring about what she messed up because we are all rational and caring people when were on a quest of vengeance. Stating hard fact that she could do those things and almost walking away from a city she has no attachment too by something that wasn't really her problem to deal with. (See:No reasons for living or doing shit at the moment after getting sorta revenge.)
Made it clear that if the people who fucked with her fucked with her again, she wouldn't hesitate to smack their shit for messing with her. And generally being a queen, royalty here, or an ancient race that's been around the block more than once. And being surly because every plan she ever had in her life went to shit and all those she knew and loved are either dead or don't want anything to do with her?
Yeah I can't see why she's unpleasant at all. What a bitch.
>>26751874
The passive aggression is stronk here.
>>26751874
So, quite simply, she's justififed innearlycausing untold death andactuallycausing untold destruction was quite simply...WEWUZQWEENS
>>26751967
Yup, changelings are the black people in this series. Used-to-be's and endearing fuck-ups. Just look at Chrysalis.
>>26751967
No. She's justified in that she was "angry for reasons", that she was so "caught up in her desire for righteous(her point of view) vengeance" that she caused a shit ton of damage and almost killed the masses.
Those are the points you brought up so I can't go any further into details with anything else.
And she's self centered because she's a Queen. A strong Queen, capable of having anything she want with a literal stamp of her hoovies, who was then alone on the world. Cause she didn't want to have anything to do with Chrissy and her lings.
If you are going to argue with me, counter everything I bring up to counter you and focus on a point that actually has merit instead of
~WE WUZ QUEENZ OMGERD I DIN DUN NUFFUN!~
I swear to got we go through this song and dance all the damn time.
>>26751874
.... so how do you explain the apocalypse thing? Leaving everyone to die and laughing about it is um... kinda hard to do.
>>26752032
>you brought up so I can't go any further into details with anything else.
That's not the same guy as the one who you originally replied to
>>26752230
Would you risk your neck out for people you just met and don't like and don't like you in return? Just cause its the end of the world? I wouldn't I'd laugh and get the hell out of there, let them deal with it.
>>26752235
Whatever, those are still the points that the guy focused on when he commented to me. Not my fault I can't tell those ling haters apart. They're all the same bigots to me. Always looking from only one side of the room instead of both.
>>26751874
>Rampaging in a quest for revenge that was mostly justified and not really caring about what she messed up because we are all rational and caring people when were on a quest of vengean
Not being rational during the rampage make sense, actively mocking everybody after it is all done just shows you never cared about the vacuum stepped on people. If you want to argue there's no reason for her to care about the cities she made no attempt to go around while she was in her Vengeance mode, fair enough, but that door swings both ways and now there is no reason for them to feel her actions are Justified.
>Stating hard fact that she could do those things
And getting the response she expected, the only response she could have gotten out of that, fear. If that's what she's going for, and what else could she be trying to get reaction wise, what other response would she get but distrust and worried?
>And generally being a queen, royalty here, or an ancient race that's been around the block more than once.
This also swings both ways as AJ is just being a princess in response to her actions.
>Yeah I can't see why she's unpleasant at all. W
Nothing you have listed would actually forgive her for doing those things column for destroying the cities that had nothing to do with herself or her Vengeance and the lack of remorse or regret caused by them, or for that matter the constant threats she gives out give the result that she looking for, everyone is more conscious of her and think she's terrible. Like I said in the original post, this doesn't mean she's an unfeeling monster, not at all. If anything she's just... a person you don't want to hang around. That's it. She did some terrible things, but at the moment she's not worth fighting or hunting down or bringing the justice. That doesn't mean you have to like her, just not attack her and make reparations if somebody actually did. She's not here, she's just a bitch
>>26752032
>And she's self centered because she's a Queen. A strong Queen, capable of having anything she want with a literal stamp of her hoovies, who was then alone on the world
Well then if we wrren't making her to be some Vegeta-stand in or whatever the fuck, she'd be much better off for everyone if she was dead
>>26752388
>actively mocking everybody after it is all done just shows you never cared about the vacuum stepped on people
Why feel remorse when you actually don't care.
They shouldn't, but if they are to be the "bigger ponies" they will anyway. If they don't well Chitty had it coming I have no quarrel with that.
>And getting the response she expected, the only response she could have gotten out of that, fear. What other response would she get but distrust and worried?
And rightly so, She was a Monster Movie level... well, MONSTER! She was meant to be like that and should act like one. Respect through Fear. Prime example, you don't have to like Mother Nature to know you damn well better respect her ferocity cause she flings around tornado and earthquakes and shit. Don't poke a literal giant unless you want it to squish you.
>This also swings both ways as AJ is just being a princess in response to her actions.
Damn right she should, but she doesn't have all the knowlegde and experiance needed to deal with it as Royalty agaisnt royalty. She's doing what she feels is right, not what is right.
>Nothing you have listed would actually forgive her
Nope, it doesn't but it explains why shes unpleasant to be around. She's been in a mood for a loooooong time and nothing is changing it.
>lack of remorse or regret caused by them, or for that matter the constant threats she gives out give the result that she looking for, everyone is more conscious of her and think she's terrible.
She didn't/doesn't care, and she want everyone to leave her be and stay out of her way. What she's doing might just put her in a better state of things but does anyone realize that no.
>Like I said in the original post, this doesn't mean she's an unfeeling monster, not at all. If anything she's just... a person you don't want to hang around.
And that's RIGHT! She's not unfeeling, but she just doesn't care for them in the slightest. And she has no desire to change that!

>Well then if we wrren't making her to be some Vegeta-stand in or whatever the fuck, she'd be much better off for everyone if she was dead
Can't pull that card on me, I wanted her dead. What, don't look at me like that. I love her to bits, but I wanted to off her too! But nooooooooooooooooooooooo, we don't kill badguys on /pa/. Everything that she is now and all the shit you have to put up with is because YOU guys let her live. I wanted her dead. I am in no way responsible for that or her being the way she is. You made her that way, you dug the grave now lie in it.
It's your fault, Celestia's. Not mine. The only reason I ever defend the lings, or anyone else is because everyone focuses on one perceptive of the story, the "good" side. And I can understand that, we're a good guy thread, not a evil thread. But someone need to keep you guys in check, because there is always two sides to the story, even if it hasn't been written yet.
If you didn't just focus your sights on one person without taking their side of things for consideration I wouldn't open my mouth.

>Damn it.
It said something about her mindset that she was annoyed she couldn't snap open a ribcage, and instead had to work in a way that did the least damage to the one she was trying to heal.
It also said something about her that her mind was struggling harder and harder to remain in that moment.
Focusing was proving increasingly difficult for the Titan Queen, the more time went on. The longer the delicate procedure dragged, the more abilities she called upon. The more she did that, the more she remembered them. Those horrible, annoying, selfish, annoying monsters... that she missed.
It started when she used Saturnia's ability. A unique, normally quite useless one that let her see a wavelegnth that, up until now, was so rare it she had never even known if it was working. Useless, on any other day, but just this once, it let her see something that was beyond the sight of mortals.
The plaid, garish coloring of chaos magic.
It was that, and a stillness of her hoof trained to hold a violin in a grip that could otherwise shatter a diamond, that let her ease the singular thread close enough to drain the magic with a precision that allowed no error, or waver. A slip up, however minor, and there would be no fixing it in time.
Such made it all the more difficult when she remembered the day said lunatic nearly got herself discovered, and it was only the timely intervention of the worlds most bizarre looking dragon that had prevented it. The whiff of nostalgia overpowered her, the smell of smoke still in her nose, before she tore the memory away, and refocused.
The next step came from the ability that had been so vital to all of this. The skill of Necrophorus, to change the very nature of stone as she herself changed the nature of her skin, was vital. Without it, none of this would be possible.
She would be appreciative, if she could just focus.
1/4
>>26755712
Again, her mind started to drift. Strangely, not to the Queen for whom this technique was famous, her legacy, but instead to the one who had taught how to do the original power, before Necrophorus had perfected it. Back in that day, the power had been little more than the ability to turn extremely specific stones into dust. Back in that day, the Queen who would one day lose herself to this power was but a small, happy little grub, living under the almost witheringly close gaze of her mother, Vespilla. Such an overprotective Queen, so much so she never forced her child to exert herself even the most minuscule if it could be avoided. Calling her, the Titan of all beings, to do such simple tasks as carrying her over a particularly high hill.
It was almost enough to make her laugh when she remembered how Vespilla would ask her to be "Little Neccy's" other mother just so she had another one. To this day, she had no idea what she meant. To this day, she found it almost funny, considering what would come later with her own daughter.
All these thoughts and more remained with her, as she began what would be one of the hardest parts of her entire procedure.
>Easy now...
Even though she could not see it, she had to be as precise as threading a needle that was spinning on a top. She had to create, with memory alone, what she had seen in the books, and models.
For despite what many may think, Chitania was no stranger to the heart. The real one, at least. She had studied it so extensively in her time she could recall the angle of every ventricle, know just how thick and consistent it was supposed to be, know how many times it was supposed to beat per second, how long it took to circulate blood and how much blood there needed to be.
She knew the heart, her true weakness.
2/4
>>26755719
The one thing that prevented her from reaching all the way to the stars, and plucking them from the sky. She had studied for years on it, trying to find any way to circumvent that restriction that had nearly cost her life on the day she learned to harness Titan magic. She had come close, but not quite reached it, like so many other things in her life.
>Easy now...
For who else could create with magic the perfect facsimile of a heart, from a rock. A facsimile that, more importantly, did not run off of unicorn magic.
Changeling magic would be needed, for what came next.
>Alright... here we go...
Before she continued, she would have to weave a spell into the new form. A magic would have to be created, and made to work involuntary. If she did it right, Sunset would never have to think of this, just as no other had to think of their own heart. If she did it wrong...
>Heh... guess you were wrong, Annelida
She had so hated this ability, thought herself cheated that her mother could only provide her this at her ascension. A bit of a brat, to be sure, but she understood.
On any other day, the ability to grow ever so slightly, about an inch, was as useless as could be. On any other day, Annelida's grousing was very much right. The only exception... was if an inch was exactly what she needed.
All she needed to make it work was a bit of changeling magic to be there, and it would go off all on it's own, as many times as she needed it to. Be it a single time, or forever.
Annelida had been one who got into trouble almost every other week, sometimes she could swear the other Queen did it just so she could talk to her, by far one of the most annoying ones.
She still wished she could hear that whining voice again.
>There's that... now...
The hardest part was yet to come. For next, she had to prepare her spell long before it would be used, for everything would have to sync up exactly right, go off perfectly, in order for this to work.
3/4
>>26755727
The ability to move one's skin, rearrange it to another area, was one she had thought the most useless thing in the world before today. The idea of moving her skin cells around was frankly a moronic one to her, considering her Titan Form meant trying it would cause her to pop like needle had hit a balloon. That Locustana had been so insistent she learn it was the only reason she had even given it the time of day. If only to see her smile when someone like her actually thought it was worth learning. She had resented that day.
How ironic, that it would be so needed. The Queen had been right, in the end.
It was a shame she would never know it.
>Alright...
A bit of magic, and a deep breath through her nostrils for the next part. Culicidae, the little bloodsucker, had taught her this one. A deep breath and she could confirm, the blood was still viable.
It had remained suspended, kept alive much like the pony's mind was by the changeling magic. Good. That meant all would go as planned. Perhaps it would be easier with Culicidae's trademark proboscis, but that was one thing she had managed to dissuade her from trying to teach.
Did not stop the other Queen from implying she wished to use it on her, but she never understood that one.
>Alright...
It was all in place.
The chaos magic, reduced.
The stone, in a shape and place as it should be.
The techniques, laced and waiting.
All the magic she needed, at the ready.
She was going to have to bring them all together, in such a precise order, there could be no mistakes. All the powers of the Queens long past were going to have to come together, and in a stark contrast to their wielders, for once they would have to work as one, as a team. None could fail, and all would have to support the other.
How ironic.
>Deep breath...
It was now or never, all or nothing. It was time, at last, to bring the pony back into th world of the living.
>Here... we... go.
...Something went wrong.
>Well, Fuck.

"...why am I here?"
>It's because the surgery failed and you're dead! Welcome to Tartarus!
"WHAT?!"
>Yeah it was pretty bad. We finally had a chance to look into you and even got a legendary surgeon to come by and perform a never done before surgery. Unfortunately, there were a sequence of events that made us think you were alive when we found your body. It was Weekend at Bernie's level of misunderstanding when we partied with you.

If she had been as studious with gymnastics as she was her books, the prodigal pony would be kicking herself as hard as she could.
>STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID!
A mere two minutes ago, she had been innocently eating a daisy sandwich, going over various training schedules with her friend Rainbow Dash, managing to slip in some chatter with Pinkie and Rarity all the while.
If she'd had the mind of it, she would probably wonder what they thought when she had suddenly gone still, her mouth dropping open enough to roll out half-eaten food, and then she had torn off at such a speed Dash would have done well to take notes, all while screaming at such volume that Luna herself would think her a blowhard.
>HOW DID I FORGET THAT HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID HOW I'M WORST PONY!
They had no way of knowing it, but a stray thought had crossed her mind in that inopportune time. A stray thought that, much like a lit match over a pit of oil, quickly caught fire and burned down all other thoughts with it.
A thought about a certain, very special... orb.
>STUPID PONY STUPID PONY STUPID PONY!
She had only now, of all times, remembered that she'd cracked the code, made a device that should be able to peer into it's madness, and that before the whole world had caught fire thanks to Rarity's stunning reveal, she had been on her way to talk with the changeling queen herself. In all the chaos, in all the running from her problems, she had honestly forgotten. How she had forgotten, she herself best summed it up.
>YOU'RE STUPID YOU'RE STUPID YOU'RE STUPID!
It was with reckless abandon, a complete lack of regard for herself or any other in her way, that she slammed the door to her lab open, and started up her computer.

There was only one way to put out a fire that raged as hot as the one in her mind.
A sweeping cold so powerful, it would have chilled the sun.
>...ohhhhh no...
Even though the truth was plastered as plain as could be, even though the answer was literally staring her right in the face, even though it made no sense to and there was no reason to think otherwise, she didn't accept it right away. She tried to deny it at first, to think of any possible other answer it could be, considered for far longer than she should that it was a glitch, an error, a mistake.
>Oh... oh no. No no no... no you did not.
When she stopped fighting it, she conceded that, indeed, a mistake had been made alright.
>You little...
The indicator before her had done the impossible two fold. First, it made her forget the screaming thought that had been her whole world a second ago. Second, and more important... it made her feel like an even bigger idiot than she had before.
When the ice came to her throat, she could not hold it in anymore.

>Pinkie
"OCs"
>Welcome to Daily Executions, /pa/! I am your host Pinkie Pie! It's during this time that Canon matters and I get rid of the trash! Now for our main guest... THE SILENCED WALTHER P99!
"Oh God! Please no, I just wanted to be on TV!"
>Don't worry, I'll make you feel dead gorgeous.
*PFHWIT!*
"Nonononono, this isn't fair!"
>Awww, didn't you know? Fairness is a dying practice!
*PFHWIT!*
"Why... why are you DOING THIS?!"
>Mmmh, well, I knew you were cast as a background pony, but a pony of your caliber just can't live like this, right?
*PFHWIT!*
"..."
>...
"...hi, Pinkie."
>Hello Changeling whom I can't recall. What was your purpose again?
"Standing on Canterlot mountain. Keeping Watch."
>Aaaaah.
"Is it time to go now? I am... tired. So tired."
>Noperino, not while your suffering is greater this way!
"Figur-"
*PFHWIT!*
"AAAAH! HOLY HIVEMIND, MY LEG! WHY?!"
Pinkie leans close. There was no mercy in her eyes, only fire and carnage.
>Stay the fudgecake up there and never come down, or the next one will go where Celestia's sun don't shine. Got it?
"*whimper*"
Pinkie pops back up, all smiles.
>And that's all time we have for now! Tune in next week, where the motto will be 'Fuck gryphons... WITH CHAINSAWS!"
*WWWRRRRRRRRRR!*

In true Pinkie fashion, all I hear with that is a little toy beep and whistle. You know those stock sounds that come with a blaster you get at a dollar store? That's all I hear.And in true Pinkie fashion, it doesn't actually do anything, everyone is just pretending to make her feel better.
>>26763813
Amen to that
>>26763783
funny thing is, there IS a story where he comes down from the mountain. Chrysalis tricks AJ into giving him a kiss so he can get a love recharge and he ends up greenspitting in her mouth.

Damn, love getting my fix. Two in one night is rare, but damn is it good.

This pic was either the most brilliant choice, or least brilliant choice on OP's part..
>>26763813
Holy shit, that's Two level adorable.
Speaking of, does LNPP hate Two? I know he doesn't like OC's, but... it's Two.
It's motherhugging TWO.
>Sunset
~~~~~
This probably wasn't good.
>Crap.
White, all she could see everywhere was nothing but white. An endless void that was somehow still full, a nothingness that was bursting with substance. She would have written it off as a mere dream, nothing to be worried about, if one second, it had been nothing but inky blackness, and quiet.
Moving from that into what seemed something much more was nowhere near as comforting as one would imagine it would be.
>Am I dead? Did I just... die?
Her rational mind tried to tell her that such a thing wasn't a leap of logic, that the evidence didn't substantiate something like this, but the much louder, very much irrational part of her brain screamed in fear, and in worry.
It hit her, as she floated in that endless something, that she still couldn't feel anything in her body.
>There, see? You're being stupid. You're still...
She would have found it funny, had it happened to anyone else. That she had been about to say 'alive' was as cruel as it was humorous.
>You're still...
Bitterly, her hoof rubbed over her fur, scratching up in down in a desperate attempt to make so much as a single nerve flair in pain or irritation. Instead, it was like she was rubbing a prosthetic, a fake limb where that one should be. She knew it was real, her body knew that some part of her was being touched, but she couldn't actually feel the sensation. It was as if she had been replaced by a machine body, and none had the heart to tell her.
Even with the new information, she strangely could not shake the niggling thought that maybe, even still, she was dead. After all, her body was locked in a state something near to this anyway, it could very well be that all this time, she had finally found the answer.
What is it like, when a pony dies?
To her horror, she realized it might be something like this.
>...Why'd you have to be so stupid.
There was no question in it, only accusation.
>Why'd you have to be so... so fucking stupid.
1/9
>>26764638
He's an avid ling hater too man.
>>26764871
Her hoof rubbed faster and faster, digging in deep in a vain attempt to scrape off the horrible, alien body that she had found herself in, to rip it off as a caterpillar would a cocoon, so she could emerge and feel real once again.
>Why'd you have to try something so stupid. You... you just had to try to prove you were useful. Just had to try to do something like that, didn't you? Oh yeah, they really needed you of all ponies to look out for them. You had to be the big protector, didn't you? Actually thought that... that they would want you around.
Just as it had every other time she had woken in the night, feeling like she had been replaced and her body twisted as she slept, the skin held on. It would not tear away, held by the magic she had attempted to twist to her own uses. The abominable changeling, and she now knew, chaos magic.
Two magics, so foul, that now was all that stood between her and a real end.
>Why did you even bother...
She wished so very hard that she could cry. It only made her feel more unnatural, more twisted, that she felt the burning need to let it all out, but nothing would fall.
>They didn't even try to bring you back from the other world... they didn't want you back here. You should have just stayed gone. You would have saved everyone so much trouble.... nobody wanted you back before, or now.
It made her feel more dead, that her voice did not even become raspy or strained.
>And it's all your fault.
In those dead nights, all those times spent consumed with being alone, she had never once managed to convince herself that the blame fell on anyone else. She had tried, countless times she had tried, but it could never stick.
This was not Celestia's, or Applejack's, or Twilight's fault she was currently in this form, it was her own.
She had made the deal with the devil, and paid the price.
>And... I did it again...
2/9
>>26764881
It had occurred to her before, though every time forced down, that she was just repeating the same mistake all over again. A changeling Queen, a need that had to be solved, a deal, and she had no idea what she was getting herself into. Once more, she could be used, abused, just like she had before, and she had willingly handed over the rock that was her heart to that monster, and promised away her soul should she get what she wanted.
She had shoved it down every time before, but in this emptiness that was full, she could not manage it again.
>I don't even know what she wants...
Or what she would use it for, or who would get hurt in the process, or who's blood may be on her hooves should she get it. Chitania was not a kind mare, she cared nothing for the sanctity of life, nor any who died in her wake. She was a Queen, every bit that Variolus was.
>And you just promised her anything she wanted.
It was a bitter thought, a terrible pill to swallow, but she could not force it away this time. She had to accept it, and the truth that came with it.
>...You still wouldn't turn her down, would you?
Her question to herself went unanswered, none was needed. She knew that if she were to appear right now and ask her again, the answer would be the same.
>Because you just...
Anything, to feel alive again.
>You just keep fucking up!
She hit herself, again and again, wailing on the puppet body she was trapped inside, trying to beat down the unnatural thing that should not be, and would not free her.
>You just keep fucking up and doing it all over again and I just want to feel normal again damn it!
She punched, she kicked, and she scratched in that weightless world.
>I JUST WANT TO FEEL AGAIN!
Finally, she brought her hoof to her face, and bit down, with everything she had.
>OW!
Even if the world had not been vacant of any other soul, she knew that somehow, it would stop.
>...W-what.
3/9
>>26764895
It had been so long, it seemed alien in sensation. She didn't even recognize it at first, it was so different. It took far longer than she would ever admit before she put it together, and poked herself.
>What...
A tingle, a ripple, was going all over her. Invisible fingers tickling over every inch of her body, running past her fur like it wasn't even there to dance on her skin. Something was happening.
She could feel it.
>I... I'm...
As the sensations grew, as the pricks on every folic seeped down even deeper into her and danced beneath the muscle, the realization grew with it.
And with both of them, the light all around seemed to grow whiter, the fullness, fuller.
>Wait... wait a minute...
Any joy, any elation she might have felt could not claw it's way to the surface, smothered under a much different sensation. The feeling in her brain that overrided all others, and told her something wasn't right.
Something was wrong.
>Wait... wait no...
With every twitch of her hooves, every spark she felt going off when her bones shifted, she could feel more and more that something wasn't right. Something was happening, that it shouldn't have.
When the fire hit her lungs, it burned brighter than any real flame could. She understood when it happened, that this was not as it was meant to be.
>No, no not like this...
The light grew brighter even though her eyes were closed, grabbing her harder without anything there. It was consuming her, and it felt all too familiar.
>Not like this... I don't want it like this...
Her memory flashed back to that day, to when she had saw herself in the pooling reflection on the floor, when she had felt the end creeping to her and ready to pull her away into oblivion. She saw it once more, and could not help but notice that it felt much the same.
>No... no! No!
4/9
>>26764907
Her eyes shot open when she heard it, even though there was not a sound. She looked up, so high she could feel the strain in the back o her neck, the pain of looking up so high when her head should be bowed low. In the endless white that seared her eyes, in the formless nothing above, she could swear she saw something. A figure, seemingly hidden, yet openly there.
>Not like this! Not like this! I just wanted to feel again! I just wanted to go back to how I was!
In that blank canvas that was the sky, she could feel it approach. There was nothing to see, nothing to look upon, but she could feel it. Something reaching out towards her, as if she were a rose to be plucked away.
>Get away! I want to go back! I just want to go back!
It kept approaching her, a tingle along her fur making it feel as if it were so large it could easily hold a dragon in it's hooves. She could not escape it, no matter how hard she struggled or fought. She could not even move, no matter how desperate her flail.
All the while, the stinging in her chest grew worse, and worse.
>I'm sorry! I'm sorry I was so stupid! I'm sorry! Just not yet! Not yet! I just want to feel again! Not now, not when I'm so close! Leave me here, please!
In that figure that she could not see, the sensation of a sad gazed washed over her like a wave on the beach. She could feel the sadness, yet resolve, of whatever was coming for her. It took no joy in this, but it did what needed done.
Her lungs worsened, the fire inside of them feeling like lava churning and bubbling within it. Flames rippled through her throat and seared her like fresh meat, doing nothing to staunch the wails and cries.
>Get back! Get away before I shoot you! I'll destroy you if you come any closer! Get away from me! I want to stay!
But no magic would come, no matter how she tried to force it. The end was coming, and she could not even bring a pitiful display to dissuade it.
>Get away from me, PLEASE! I don't want this!
5/9
>>26764920
It was almost upon her, and she could do nothing.
Nothing, but feel the fire in her chest rise, and rise.
>I don't want to go!
Rise, until it could be contained no longer, and she had to let it all out.
>I DON'T WANT TO GOOOOOO!
Sunset Shimmer breathed fire.
The thing, the being, whatever it would be called, was at last given pause, at last stopped it's advance, as the flamed reached out, and consumed everything.
>I WANT TO STAAYYYYYY!
It rolled off in waves that would put any dragon to shame, pushed back the thing that wasn't there, yet was. She could feel the grasp still trying to reach her, to find her, but she would not let up. The fire inside of her would not be quenched, or burned away. It needed no fuel, no magic, to consume everything.
The void that was full, burned.
Her screech rang out, poured freely as the flame, until all things were devoured in its fiery tongue. Until all that had been white, became black. The figure had struggled, it had fought, but it had not stayed.
Soon, all around her was black, and hollow, and she felt nothing but the fire. A fire that burned even now, rolling out from between her gaping lips.
>Did... did I-
The fire remained, but she felt no warmth.
The coldness came faster.
>No...
She had failed.
>No...
She fell.
>Help...
She fell, and fell, icy claws gripping her body all the while, a grip that would not let go. She fell, until she felt another figure in the darkness.
>Help me...
Just as before, she could not see them, but she knew they were there. Someone waited for her, to catch her as she descended.
>Help...
She was too weak to move or fight as she had before. She could do nothing in the others grip but remain, lifeless.
>...you're going to take me away...
The figure she could not see held her, as gently as a mother, or a caretaker of any kind, would. She was protected, she was safe, even if she wanted nothing more than to be free of it's grasp.
>I... I just wanted to go back...
6/9
>>26764941
Gently, slowly, the figure began to fall further into the nothing, carrying her with it all the way in a gentle freefall. Gently, the face that was not there narrowed to her own, and she felt something brush her lips.
>I'm sorry... I'm so sorry for everything I did... I just wanted to help... I just wanted to... to know I did something good...
She knew she was being carried to the end.
>I'm sorry...
In her mouth, in her lungs, in her chest, in her heart, the fire died away. Nothing remained, but cold.
>I'm so sorry.
Cold all over every inch of her, save one tiny part.
>I just wanted to feel again.
Only one piece of her did not feel the chill of the end.
Her lips.
>I...
They remained warm, and stayed so.
>I...
The light, that bright, burning, chilling, painful, soothing, gentle, powerful, wonderful, horrible, beautiful, sickening light came back. She could see nothing but white, could hear nothing but a screeching tone in hear ears, and could no longer move.
>...I'm sorry...
It was over.
As as it had begun, it was over.
There was nothing left.
Nothing, when the warmth on her lips left her.
Nothing was there to usher her in, to the end.
Only cold remained.
>I'm so... sor...ry..
~Sunset...~
The voice tickled her ears, a sweet humming that was like honey to her mind. The end had come, whatever it may be, and she could not fight anymore. She accepted it, accepted everything that would be. She had fought, she had struggled, but it hadn't mattered in the end. She was done, and it was over. The cold, the chill had remained, and she could never escape it.
So lost in the strange place she now found herself in, she almost missed that something else had remained as well.
~Sunset... come along now...~
A sensation, crawling along her skin.
~Come along...~
A feeling, still there, and that was most important of all.
~Come along now, we have so much to do...~
She could still feel.
~WAKE UP, DAMN IT!~
7/9
>>26764955
The gasp to bring in air to her hurting lungs was the most beautiful, wonderful thing she had ever felt in her whole life. Every heave that brought the rush of cool wind inside was like being born all over again, wondrous as it was frightening.
The white before her gaze parted as if she had crested the water, rolling off slowly as a tall fluffy white mane took it's place. She could not pay attention to it, nor the angry, yet strangely soft and relieved eyes, laced in the black gaze that stared down on her.
~Oh, thank the hivemind... you are so damn lucky I caught that the air in your lungs was stagnant and useless in time, I literally had to breath for you for a while there. Should have known it would be something... You almost suffocated with your own breath, and thanks to you I had to breath that shit.~
Roughly, the massive being coughed, waves of dust and black spittle shooting free and onto the ground.
~So, thanks for that.~
She hadn't heard a single word of it.
She hadn't listened to a single sound. The Queen's rants had fallen onto ears so deaf they would not hear a dragon roaring beside them. She was lost, completely.
Lost in the feeling of her chest rising, and falling, as she breathed again.
Lost in the feeling of the foul, bitter and grimy taste in her mouth.
Lost in the tickle of her mane on her nose.
Lost in the feeling of sting on her dry eyes.
When she felt the moisture come to chase away that dryness, when that sting was awash in a soothing sensation, she was lost in another feeling entirely.
~In case you're wondering... it was a success. It's beating like it should, all the blood is circulating, there wasn't any leftover blood clots, and your other organs are functioning. Sunset Shimmer...~
When she felt the liquid roll down the side of her face, when she once again felt the wonder of tears, it hit her at last, all of it came together at last...
~Welcome back to the world of the living.~
And she lost everything.
8/9
>>26764978
>I...
She couldn't contain it, nothing could contain it, the greatest magic that had ever been would have been mere paper tigers in a storm to stop her.
Before the Queen could move, could blink, could so much as think a single thought, she was shoved, actually shoved ever so slightly aside, as the pony leapt to her hooves, and raced.
>I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVEE!
Her cheer shook all of Canterlot, and rang in the ears of the Queen long after the one who had let it out slammed the door.
She was reduced to little more than a statue, staring stock still at the door as she heard the euphoric calls of joy and happiness grow quieter and quieter, and with it rapid steps of hooves that soon vanished completely.
The Queen sat there, gobsmacked for the first time in her life, staring blankly at the door, and letting her equipment fall to the floor. Eyes and mouth wide, she only stared as all her hard work literally ran away from her at top speeds, and there was no sign it would ever come back.
She had done the impossible, pulled off what none thought she was capable, and she had never felt more hollow inside.
~...So that's why Sweet Note said not to pay up front...~
The regrets of the Queen would have to wait.
Sunset Shimmer was back, and the whole world would know it.
>>26764995
First off, hurry! FINALLY! SUNSET LIVES AGAIN!
But more importantly... did all that really happen just to punk Chitty?
I'm not even mad if that's the reason.
>>26764638
What are you talking about? Two was clearly one of the changelings in the background during the Canterlot invasion and therefore a canon character.
In all seriousness, I don't actually hate 2, but when it comes down to it, I'd have to stick to my guns if I blanket avoid OC's and changelings, so that it's not personal. Can't make special cases or that'd just be favoritism.
...That being said, I'd be happy to give an OC a pass if they meet one simple criteria, make me laugh. To me, comedy is the most important thing in the thread. If a character makes me laugh, I won't bash it. Comedy first, hate for OC or changelings later.
Ok there we go, nice work whoever you were.
Now someone set up Aj and Twilight so Sunset can beat the ever loving shit out of them
>>26764995
About fucking time!
>>26765081
>But more importantly... did all that really happen just to punk Chitty?
>She can't go to a court
>She can't force the princesses to make her do it
>She can't kidnap her and do it thanks to her running around and screaming and bringing attention
>She can't even prove there was an agreement
>Or if there was, she can't prove what she's asking for isn't illegal
>It might actually be illegal, so she can't even tell anyone what she wants
>Nobody is going to pick her over Sunset
>She technically broke the law doing this anyway cause no medical license.
>Sunset has everything she wants now, so no bartering chip
Oh sweet fuck, Chitty is screwed.
That's brilliant.
>>26765124
Imma add to this, it;s borderline cathartic that Sunset leads in with a "FUCK YOU! YOU WERE USELESS! YOU NEVER ONCE DID ANYTHING TO HELP ME! YOU NEVER CARED BOUT ME!" to AJ, Celestia and Twilight, particularly AJ and Celly.
>>26765154
>Oh sweet fuck, Chitty is screwed.
Even sweeter an irony, she's screwed because her deals with Aj and the rant from Twilight actually convinced her that ponies upheld their end of the bargain when it happened, and that she was actually being silly taking so many precautions. She got so wrapped up in actually doing it she made no way for her to collect when it was all over, and now Sunset not only has that but ALSO Necrophourus's technique.
Oh, the irony of it all...
>>26764995
>It ended on a high note
>And a comedy note at that.
Now that's how you end a serious arc!

>Faust
"???
~~
>Well, shit... hey guuyyys? Bad news.
"Oh no! Did something happen to my little Sunset?"
>Well... yes and no?
"OH NO! What happened!? You were supposed to be grabbing her and bringing her to eternal bliss!"
>Yeah, about that... she like, breathed fire on me? Kinda hurt.
"...what."
>Yeah, fire.
"You... you do know her father isn't a DRAGON, right? That one time in college meant nothing to me."
>Well, it was either symbolic of her breathing out all the dead air inside her lungs, a symbol of that death being forced out of her, or it was more metaphorical in an ironic mirror of that one time Chitty breathed fire to fight off the 'death' controlling spike, at the cost of her own life. Regardless, she's alive, so I can't-
"SHE'S ALIVE!?"
>Oh... did I not mention that?
"...eh?"
>Probably should have lead in with that. Yeah, she's alive, so I can't bring her to heaven.
"..."
>Which... which I guess isn't a bad thing?
"..."
>Sorry, I'm a little mad, I almost got them both with this one. Going to have to be content with Chitty being screwed over, I guess...
"...Is there another god I can subscribe to?"
>>26764995
holy fuck that's beautiful
AJ's going to need a lot more Cider though
>>26765124
>>26765257
>>26765703
I guess that's the one part I don't like about it. I admit it's wonderfully written, well thought out to address all the concerns everyone brought up, used continuity wonderfully so as not to have an asspull or dues ex machina, and gives a great indepth look to both characters, but I ultimately wish AJ could have been a part of it.
I will concede that, thematically, it works better that AJ didn't, and that it will make it more impactful when AJ sees her all fixed and is like "Well, shit, I did absolutely nothing to make this happen, someone else had to fix MY Mistake.", but still.
>>26765838
I get why it went that way
>Chitty has no reason to bring AJ in.
>Aj brings nothing to the table due to her being untrained with magic
>AJ would tell her not to go through with it and fight her due to it being Chitty
>Doing this would reveal to the others that Chitty is after something
>She'd be padding for most of their talks
>Doesn't have the similar backstory to bond over
And I guess most importantly
>AJ would absolutely give up her life if it meant saving Sunset, but with Chitty there's the honest threat she might die, as Chitania's motives are at their core selfish.
I agree with you that it would have been nice, but on the flip side I don't want to sacrifice story just so AJ can be in it.
I'm happy she's just going to get to see her fixed, and am more interested in how he handles them talking and Applejack accepting that in the end, her stubbornness and lack of focus and drive meant she fixed nothing. It's a good lesson for a teacher.
>Applejack
"???"
'Spike
~~~~
'Was that who I thought it was?'
He had heard her.
They had all heard her.
The walls between them could not hope to possibly contain that scream. Nothing could, no matter how powerful.
'It sounded like...'
She was already denying it, internally. Defaulting like a hedgehog rolling up into a ball to fight back reality with little more than spikes. Her heart fluttering, her head spinning, as the truth started to fight free, and break through the walls of denial.
'Nahhh, there's no way...'
She had been so close, so very close, to relaxing with her dragon. So close to having a nice time with him, and taking it easy. Instead, she had to deal with her heart going at a pace that would put Dash to shame.
A frantic heartbeat could only be matched by the rapidfire hoofsteps approaching her door.
'...Was that-'
The door slammed open the instant he was close enough, as if it had known he was there, knew he approached, and wanted to punish him for his arrogance. The dragon, small as he was, was gone from her sight in the blink of an eye, disappeared behind the solid wood that was her barrier from the rest of the world.
Her chest heaved with concern, her mouth already forming the words to call out to him in fear. She would have, had the one in the doorway not stolen away her breath.
Her denials, as strong as they were, died before the gaze of the one standing before her.
"...she did it AGAIN, APPLEJACK!"
And of the red intermingled with the lavender alicorns face.
>Who did what now, Twi?
"You know who!"
Angrily, she stomped up to the desk, slamming both hooves down hard on the desk.
"She looked though my computer AGAIN!"
A part of her wanted to continue to feign innocence, to deny that she knew anything of what the pony before her was saying. It was only the very real fear that the pony before her would beat her over the head that kept her silent.
One look is all it took for her to confirm that was a not uncertain possibility.
1/3
>>26766257
>Ah... ahhh, shoot, Ah'm sorry, Twi-
"Don't tell me you're sorry, you were supposed to be watching her!"
>Ah' know, Ah' know, but it just got so crazy here recently, Ah' didn't even know she was back in Canterlot-
"What do you mean, you didn't know!? Where else would she be!?"
The wince she gave was nothing short of brutal.
>...Crystal Empire.
"Why would she be over there!? When!?"
>Uh... before the... vacation..
She positively withered under the glare, like a piece of plastic melting in Celestia's sun.
"What."
>Well, Ah' mean... don't look at me like that, YOU are the ones who abducted me, Ah' didn't even get a chance to pack!
"Applejack..."
>Ah' didn't get a chance ta' talk ta' anyone, nobody! Pommel didn't even know where Ah' went! So if anything, ya' need ta' talk to Pinkie-
"APPLEJACK!"
If she sank any lower into her chair, she was going to sink straight through the floor.
>...Look, Ah'm sorry-
"YOU SHOULD BE! What were you thinking!? Nevermind you left her alone in the Empire, a place that very reasonably does not like her because she smashed it-"
>Hey! That wasn't her fault-
"Not the point, Applejack! The point is she apparently hopped right on over and looked up all my files the instant she was unsupervised! Which she was, thanks to you!"
She wanted to yet again bring up she had been abducted, and it was not her choice, but even in her head, that felt hollow. If anything, they would have turned around and gotten her to join them if she had only spoken up, or thought about it.
It wasn't Sunset's fault she had been... distracted, following a certain fight.
>Look... what do ya' want me to say, Twi? Ah'm sorry, Ah' know Ah' messed up, but-
"How long has this been going on!? Did you even talk to her when we got home!?"
>...well, no, but Dash was-
"Applejack!"
Correction, any deeper into her chair, and she was falling through the earth.
>...Ah'm sorry.
2/3
>>26766269
The lavender mare took a breath. She took another, just to be sure. She took another still, just be safe.
...She needed one more still after that.
"Look... look, I know you didn't mean for this to happen, okay? I just... I'm really angry this happened again. Again! After all we..."
She let out at least one of those breaths, nice and slow.
>Ah'll talk to her. And if need be... Ah'll, you know... put a chain on her.
It wasn't much in terms of consolation, but it was all she could give.
"Thank you, I'm glad you're handling this, and I want you to know I don't blame you."
>Yeah...
The orange mare only wished she could do the same.
>What did she get?
"You know, I don't even know. I got so mad when I saw it, I didn't even care what exactly she broke in to see."
>Oh... Ah'm sorry?
"Oh no, you're not going to be sorry. You know who's going to be sorry? Sunset. Sunset is going to be very, very, very sorry, because you know what? I've had it up to here with this. You know what I'm going to tell her? I'm going to tell her that I don't care if I have to get railroad spikes and nail her into the ground to keep her out.

>Now... come on, don't-
"Applejack?"
>Ya' really shouldn't-
"Ap. pl. Jack."

"I... am going... to KICK. HER. AAAaaaaahhhh..."
The words, even as booming as they were, broke and rolled off like a wheel that had come loose from a cart, and Applejack knew exactly why.
Both sets of ears on the mares twitched wildly back and forth on their heads, swinging this way and that as they attempted to find the source of something they could just barely make out.
>...Is... is that...

They didn't waste a second more. They were gone.

I didn't know, she has a pretty solid argument.
Me, I am curious if Sunset will try her luck with the princesses of the land again (one banished her, one forgot about her, one neglected her and one just plain disappointed her), leave for Hume land or actually give them the proverbial middle finger for never getting anything done and striking out on her own.
Though I'd say she'll eventually work for AJ's dark alter ego Pennydrop if that happens. And PD would happily employ someone with Sunset's knowledge and abilities.

Please tell me Sunset is doing one of those spontaneous musical numbers ponies are prone to do when emotional with Canterlot's citizens.
It'd be one thing she was yelling about being alive. But if she was on the streets, singing and dancing, ponies swept up at random in it, imagine AJ's, Twilight's and Celestia's faces.

Made her sad and given her no way to fix her mistake or grow as a character, only regress into "I'm not meant to teach and I'm never going to be a teacher", and then maybe gone into an extreme version of "Someone to watch over me" with Applebloom.
While that's not a bad thing, this one went the different route of AJ being literally confronted with the reality of her mistake being physically there and given a drive to rectify that character flaw so she can reconcile with the pony she has clearly hurt.
Neither option is BAD per say, but one of them gives AJ imperative NOT to do something, which is teach or learn to teach, and the other one gives her drive to DO something, as otherwise Sunset will only get worse.
>>26770130
>Though I'd say she'll eventually work for AJ's dark alter ego Pennydrop if that happens.
I dunno, she now literally owes her life to Chitania. Literally literally. She would not be alive at this moment if Chitty wasn't there, and she kept thinking about how nice it was Chitty never gave up or let her down.

A bucked filled with bits of sunset in her grinding teeth

~~~~
Sunset Shimmer was alive.
And the whole world was going to know it, whether they liked it or not.
She savored every feeling, every sensation, as if she were a newborn babe. The wind on her fur, the smells she could feel tingling her nose, the cool rush that chilled the still wet streaks on her face, even the delightful vibrations the rattled down her throat and into her chest were something she relished in.
When she burst from the hotels confinements, when she at last felt the sun on her face, truly felt it like she had not for so long she had forgotten the sensation, she had to let it all out.
>I'M ALIIIIIIVVVEEEEEE!
There was no doubt that those passing her on the street thought her mad, a loony who had broken free of whatever handler she had been assigned to, and in many ways, that was true. She had gone mad. Completely mad, as she lost herself in the world, felt it all around her and within her. From the tingle of her hooves on the ground, to the beat of her heart.
The wonderful, wonderful beat of her heart, beating as it should be.
>I'M ALLIIIIIIIVEEEEE!
She tore off into the city of Canterlot, not a clue in her mind what she searched for, or what she would find. Not a care to either of those either. She simply had to care, had to exist.
Once more, she felt like she existed.
>OH OH! HEY! HEYYYYYYY!
Like a child gone to a fair, when she found a passing food cart in the street, she could not contain her excitement. The poor soul at the helm of it could do nothing but stare in polite awkwardness as the pony slammed into the glass protecting his food from the elements. Nor could he find anything to say when she threw her head back and took the deepest inhale through her nose he had ever seen.
1/4
>>26773006
A pleasant shudder rocked her entire body as the wisps of flavor danced in her nose, her mouth already full of salivation and perhaps a bit of drool as she once more indulged in the everyday of the average soul, but to her was as magical as the difference having seen a delicious plate on a menu, and having it brought to her. She had been staring at that menu for what felt like ages. At last, the waiting had ended, and the food had come.
>GIMME!
She all but threw the money at him, too excited to remember her manners, or too gone to even care. The moment that food was placed on the plastic container before her, she wasted no time, and dived right in.
He made noises of concern, a word or two about how she shouldn't do that because it was still hot, and just like before it was nothing but wind to her ears. In truth, she savored it. As much as her every taste bud danced wildly at the spicy flavor upon it, she relished just as much the sting, the burn of the heat against the roof of her mouth. Even that, a sharp pain, set her off in ways she could not describe.
Like an animal uncaged, she was running again the instant the food was gone, or at least splattered beyond her reach. Uncaring to how messy the remains looked, how crazed she must seem, she couldn't be held down. She was running again in a direction she could not know, but feel.
The moment the shining glint caught her eye, a slight sting that in her previous form she had missed completely, her entire course, direction and mission all shifted. Something else had caught her sight and held her, just as strongly as her rotted body had held her before.
>GIVE ME CUPCAKES!
The poor, kindly couple behind the counter looked like a beast had broken into their place of business, and perhaps they would have preferred that instead when they saw her. They did not serve her, as she demanded, but rather stood aside when another barrage of bits, likely the last of her stock, were hurled in their direction.
2/4
>>26773016
They were content to sit back as she sniffed and smelled every inch of a delightful blueberry swirl cupcake, before gluttonously shoving it right into her mouth.
The squeal she let out when the sweet, sugary sensation lit up her world was nothing short of euphoric.
>MORE!
In contrast to her words, she did not eat more of the delightful treats, but instead raced out the door with reckless abandon. To the onlookers, it must have seemed contradictory. To her, and only her, it made perfect sense.
She did not want more food, that was not what she demanded.
She demanded more sensation, more life. She needed more, more, more, just to know she was alive.
>YES!
Just as strange as her previous outburst must have seemed strange, indeed all of it would to any normal being, it must have been a bizarre sight when she looked to the center of the town with such elation that any excited animal would seem drab by comparison. Even stranger still to them it must have been, when she tore off at a speed that would put her in the running for the Equestrian Games, and dove into a fountain with such perfection any judge there would give her a perfect ten.
>EEEEEHHEEEEEE!
It was cold, so very cold. But it was not the cold of death, not the emptiness she had felt before. This cold was the wonderful, sharp cold that made her tingle and shake with chill, that she could feel dancing across her fur when the wind picked up. She could feel that breeze run down her wet mane that stuck to her neck, and she relished the slightly faster beat of her heart that came with it.
When a guard barked orders to her that what she had done was illegal, to vacate the fountain at once, she treated him as if she would any other statue, nothing but a passing sight in her race to experience the world.
If he took any offense to it, it was lost in the unsettled look with what she did next.
3/4
>>26773021
Her mouth opened wide, letting the water pour into something she hadn't yet even realized had been so dry. How long had it been since she had a real drink, quenched her thirst. She did not know the answer to this, nor did she think of it a moment longer. Instead, she let the tangy, cool rush pour into her, and sooth it all away.
>GAK!
Even when she choked, even that horrible, heaving sensation, was something she cherished. Just to feel her body try to reject something, to actually fight to keep itself alive, was something she had longed for in colder days. This alone, was worth it all.
She splashed, rolled, dunked her head under the water and rocked it side to side, played like she was a filly once more, and she never wished to grow up.
There was a cost, in the end. Her heart beat just a little too fast, her head spun a little too hard, her new breath bestowed upon her by the one she had once sworn her eternal enemy grew short.
For the first time since that damnable thing had struck her chest, she felt exhausted.
>Heh... h-hehe... he...
The support of the edge of the fountain was all she had, all that kept her top half above water, as the bottom half remained submerged. She held on, weak, but smiling so wide that nothing could compare.
>...Heh...
When her body gave out and her head flopped back, she was ready to lie there for an eternity, and not move an inch more, ever. Just to sit there forever, and experience the world she had all but forgotten. The sights, the sounds, and the flavors.
She would likely have too, were it not for one thing.

I did it.
I was finally doing IT.
At long last, I felt those sweet orange lips I have craved feeling upon my own since I wrote that drunken love letter. With how long I felt dead to the world, it didn't matter to me that Applejack's lips felt slightly dry, or that I could taste a bitter hint of Wild Pegasus whiskey when I pushed my tongue past them. All that mattered to me right now was that I have never felt so alive.
As we kissed as lovers would through my initiative, I poured the entire adoration and love I once felt for this hardworking country mare into that kiss, tilting my head sideways and closing my eyes to sink deeper into it while I cradled her pretty, freckled face in my hooves.
Kissing another mare always felt nice in a different way than it felt with stallions, and this time was no different. I worked my jaws and tongue for the brief second she allowed this to happen, too stunned to fight back my advances.
Applejack must've realized what I was doing a moment later, because I felt her bite down on my tongue, causing me to reflexively jerk back.
When she shoved me away I tasted the coppery taste of my own blood, prompting me to grin at the wild-eyed alicorn mare.
I could still taste her saliva on my tongue, and it made my tail flick sideways.
I had indulged myself, grasped unto that one, unobtainable fantasy for but a brief moment of erotic bliss. For but four seconds, I had taken what I would never have.
Snuffing the burning embers of depraved excitement in me, I stared at her and hissed:

I actually like it. It often makes the character more relatable to me because you have a closer insight into their motivations and thoughts. You see the world from one characters view, no matter how skewed, whereas in 3rd person, you always have to maintain a certain sense of neutrality in order to avoid preferential treatment in terms of who or what is right and wrong. Or so I feel.

"Bartender"

>Heh... Kind if cruel that I can get drunk, isn't it?
"Mmmhmm."
There were times the changeling numbered 007 wished that literally anyone else in the bar would talk to him when he was bored.
Like now, for instance.
>I'm just saying, it's not like I could get drunk on love. That's my main food source, I can't actually survive without it. I can't be sustained by food alone... Yet somehow, in the grand scheme of my creation, a little bit of biology went whacky, and I ended up with the same negative effect that hits any pony. Isn't it weird?
"Mmmhm."
>What are the odds, right? That I would be so different, yet have the same vices. We look so different, we eat different, yet something is still the same, deep down. There is always something that can hurt us.
"Hmmm."
>I wonder just where the line is, between what we think are different in ponies, changelings, and... So many other things. Other creatures... I wonder what's the same.
"Heh."
>Wha... Sweet love, barkeep, I think that's the first time I heard you laugh ever, what's the occasion?
"Hm."
He waited, but nothing ever came.
"She's finally here, by the way."
Curious, he looked over. Strangely, nothing was there.
Even stranger, the door opened a second later.
>Wow, uh... How'd you do that?
It was the first time he had ever seen the silent fellow smile.
"Maybe you'll know when we're a little more similar."
>... The heck does that mean?
Instead if answering, he went silent yet again. Something told him nothing more was going to come.
>Heh... If you say so.
He slugged down his drink, and was already laying down his tab when he made his way over.
Behind him, long after he stopped looking, the bartender gained a strange smile on his face.
"Heh... Wonder how close this one will get, before it all falls down?"
>>26774710
... Is Craig fucking with him?
>>26774963
You know, "what if god was one of us" works out pretty good when the god in question is named "Craig".

I am so damn HYPED for what will happen between Twilight, Sunset, Celestia and Discord already! Can't waaaaaaaait!!
>>26779556
I KNOW, RIGHT!? GONNA BE SOME SERIOUS WOOT WOOT!
What's our story count this far, y'all figure?
>>26779556
Sunset and AJ are going to have the most crazy part of the confrontation, I'm willing to bet. Shit is going to be nuts.
>>26779931
I font exactly see a major battle erupting between them. Twilight seems far more ready for violence at this point. But there will no doubt be some form of catharsis
>>26779928
Way, way, waaayyyy too fucking much.

I'm pretty sure we have enough words over 10 million word or damn well near it in story content.

Cadence, you whore! Just play with fire with any passing fancy, won't you?
He really should have known when you came home smelling of charcoal, but he was too naive in his love! What a fool he was... What a fool.
>>26780452
... Oh shit, PD is right there with ANOTHER mech, isn't she? And Gwen is jus waiting for an excuse...
Shiiiit.
>>26781642
Yes.
Sunset's resurrection could be the catalyst for a kind of all-out brawl that'd make Variolus' attack seem like kids play
>>26781694
The princesses, the gryphons, Chitania, Sunset, Pennydrop, whatever side the Changelings will take... so many factions...
>>26781642
>>26781694
I dunno. While I'm not opposed to the idea of a brawl, at least have Sunset actually confront AJ/Celly/Twi before going out into it.
This is a very personal thing for all of them, and a profound failure on those threes parts, I kind of feel like a fight would just be a distraction from the real meat of the story.
I'm okay with it if it flows naturally into the story and is used to compound AJ's failure, rather than try and make it seem like she wasn't totally wrong about something. If its just used as an excuse so Chitty comes off a little worse and AJ more justified in thinking Sunset shouldn't have gone through with it, then we're falling back into old habits of putting a pillow underneath AJ to soften the blow.
That said... I realize this makes me look like an hypocrite considering what I just typed, but... Any chance this can be a little funny too?
>>26781799
Hahahah, oh wow. We are totally not putting obscenely high expectations on that writer, are we!
>>26781799
I admit, Chitty brings the best brawls and this would probably be a cool way to show what AJ's learned, I agree at least the start should be all personal.
... And I kinda want at least some funny too, but he's done a pretty good job of bringing the laughs when they need to be, sunset getting thwacked still makes me smile. I'm not worried there
>>26782070
>I agree at least the start should be all personal.
PERSONAL OUGHT BE THE MEAT OF IT
WE CAN'T GO ONE-THREE POSTS WITH SOME PURPLE PROSE THEN SAY "FUCK IT" AND WHIP OUT OUR GODZILLA DICKS FOR THE ENSUING THREAD.
I find AJ'S current situation very moving. She has to deal with one after another person losing their faith in her due to her past mistakes.
First Chrysalis, then Dash, now Sunset. They are all individuals who once put their full trust in her, and lost it. AJ isn't just correcting mistakes. She's hardening bonds of friendship or renewing them

Yeah, 32, but it also gets you confined to the sidelined with no change to the status quo. The sidelines or a cell, youknowwhatIamsaying?
Though, on the flip side, congratulations! You are now acting like every other self-serving, lazy asshole politician, so I guess that's an improvement for Worst Ling!
>>26781820
Speaking of, today's posts are going to be a little later than normal due to outside work (I know, I know, but I feel like Applejacks spirit would chide me if I didn't get it done) but on the flip side I'm gonna try to work hard and get three stories off today.

I like to think he saw Sunset, and just has more than one brain cell to rub together.
Or did you forget the last time Him and Sunset met?
>>26782622
Dude. I've been staying up late since you started Sunset's reincarnation, because you usually post around midnight where I live. I've had shit sleep because I couldn't wait to read the next installment!
I think actually being able to go to bed early knowing I can most likely read a huge block of your stuff in my break time during work will be nice.
Don't sweat daily posting. Get it right. What matters is that the whole thing looks and reads sound.
And most importantly, have fun writing what you enjoy!
>>26782762
>Or did you forget the last time Him and Sunset met?
O-oooh... you mean that one time where she basically shoved his dead mother in his face, resulting in him getting fucked over as 13's escort to the Empire?
>>26782765
Oh, this has been a ball, no worries there. I'm mostly joking, as I know that even if I mess up you guys will let me call do over, you're awesome like that. And I'm not so much as worried about it as want to do it. It's been pretty tedious all day, and I wanna have at it if I have the energy.

With all the enthusiasm of a trip to the dentist, she did as she was told, rolling her head over to the side to look out the doors that had been her salvation not too long ago.

The twin doors open, revealing behind it what they had only seen a glimpse of before, a massive eye so large it eclipsed the door, and all those present could easily fit within it, and plenty of room to spare.
The horrifying eye narrowed on their 'leader', and songs of blood and death to come sang in it's gaze.
{DID THINE SISTER NEVER SPEAK TO THEE OF RUDENESS, CHILD!?}
>Mah sister ain't seen me in like a month, Ah' don't even know if she knows Ah'm gone.
{...Oh, oh wow, that's, um... you need a minute?}

They saw endless walls of scales and tentacles roll by, wails of the monsters fused into the unholy skin screeching with unending agony calling out as it passed them all by.

Sunset rides a roller coaster with Pinkie.
>Welcome to my wild ride! Hope you're enjoying yourself because you deserve some fun!
"Thank you, Pinkie. I'll always remember this."
>...you won't.

>I know things seem like it sucks for you right now, but when you wake up you're going to feel more alive than you've ever been!
"No offense Pinkie, but I don't have much hope any-"
Pinkie's lips meet with Sunset's. Sunset feels the sensation of air filling up her lungs before disappearing into thin air.
>...I give you the Pinkie Breath of Life. May things go better this time around. I'll be watching.
The roller coaster enters a cave and there's broken tracks in the way.

'Twilight'
~~~
If Applejack could have just one wish, it would be that she could narrow down the questions in her mind to a single one.
As it were, the million trillion thoughts exploding out of every synapse were making it impossible for a single other function of her body to take precedent. Her breath, her heartbeat, all had stalled in the avalanche of processing her brain needed to make sense of all that was before her, and with that it failed.
Instead she stood there, as still as if she were dead, blank and soulless eyes staring into the ones mere centimeters away from hers that were positively bursting with an emotion that in her wild state, she just couldn't make sense of.
As always, she had to rely on the wisest of her friends in her time of need.
'What... what did you say?'
Her cheekbones felt as if they would break with what came next.
>I'm aliiiiiiiiiivvvveeee!
Her whole body felt like it would break with what was still to come.
>I'M ALIVE I'M ALIVE I'M ALIVE I'M ALIIIIVVVE!
"GAH!"
With a strength that even put her own to shame, the yellow hooves swung upwards, taking the orange mare with them. Her hind legs struggled to maintain her balance with the loss of her forelegs stability, but sadly could not compensate in time before her back met hard, unforgiving ground that would give no mercy.
>I'M ALLLIIIIIVE!
If she had expected any mercy to come from her once undead student, she was every bit as foolish as those who would seek it from gravity.
"OOF!"
The mare pounced upon her as if the clock had turned back it's fickle hands, and reverted her once more to the excitable filly she had been. In defiance of her far larger size in comparison to what had been, she bounced upon the orange alicorn's stomach with a giddy glee, leaving wet hoofmarks that no doubt covered some interesting shaped bruises.
'You're what!?'
Relief came for one, only to be taken away from the other.
1/4
>>26784422
A full body tackle sent the lavender mare rolling, and the poor soul she had leapt from curling. Twilight was given no more time than her friend before the happy mare grabbed hold of her neck and bounced as if she were on a trampoline, either oblivious or uncaring to the choking and gurgling noises that came with every squealing hop.
>I'M ALIVE I'M ALIVE I'M ALIIIIIIVE! I CAN FEEL!
To prove this, she mashed her cheek to the alicorns, and rubbed it until the burn made it through her fur.
>I CAN SMELL!
Perhaps unnecessarily, she shoved her nose into the gagging mare's mane, and took a deep breath of the mixture of sweat and dirt and dead skin cells, relishing them as if they were the sweetest flower.
>I CAN EVEN TASTE!
Then, in what may very well be the most evil and unforgivable act that the mare had ever done in her long list of crimes, she plucked a lolipop from a nearby baby, and shoved it right in her mouth.
If there was anything that made it though when the infants mother gagged and said that the infant in question had been dropping that sweet onto the ground all day, Sunset gave no sign that it was so. She savored that lolipop and all it's flaws, treating it like the rarest of delicacies.
"Oh mah stars..."
Applejack, ever the honest one, was far more open in how little she cared for Sunset's rude, offsetting or disgusting act. She made it very clear, with a weary smile alone, that she did not give a single one.
"You... you're..."
This time, it was Sunset who found herself hit with the full body of her once friend. It was her who found herself nearly knocked to the ground, and trapped beneath hooves that rubbed over skin that at last felt warm.
It was Sunset who was unable to move or react, when Applejack jerked her closer roughly, so that the orange ear could place itself against yellow fur of her chest.
"...You're..."
Every single thump, every beat that filled her ears, nearly brought tears to her eyes.
"You're okay..."
2/4
>>26784432
She started to shake, strangely in sync with the beat of that heart that should have only been still and unmoving stone. Her breath came in ragged gasps as her mind swam, trying to make sense of it all, and failing as much now as it has before.
"Yer' alive..."
The pony shoved her away, unable to be held down any longer filled with a need to be free to bounce as wildly as her living body would allow.
"Yer' alive..."
She stared, openly and without shame, as the sour, heartbroken, empty eyes she had looked into so many times before lit up like the brightest star, how she seemed to radiate color from her bright yellow coat and shined like the sun. She stared with eyes just as wide as the unicorn's, and for once it was her who could not breath of the two, for once it was her heart she was not even sure was beating.
'HOW!?'
Twilight's incomprehensible words fell on deaf ears as Sunset continued to bound so wildly that even Pinkie would have admitted defeat, letting out a bubbly energy inside of her strong enough to power Canterlot.
'How are you alive!? That... this goes against everything! This shouldn't be possible! This shouldn't even be probable! How did you do it!? HOW!?'
"How did you do it..."
>I'm alive I'm alive I'm aliiiive~!
She just kept repeating the same words, kept ignoring the mares who desperately sought her for answers, kept running back and forth in such wild gaits, that it seemed nothing could possibly stop her, or even slow her down. It seemed nothing but the end of the world would bring it's end.
As with all things that had seemed impossible this day, it proved to be far more likely than thought.
All it took was one long, shocked, heartfelt gasp, and the filly wearing a mares body came to a complete stop. It was only out of pure curiosity, a need to know at least one of many things this day that demanded answers, that allowed the other two mares to tear away their sight from the one who had stolen their minds.
3/4
>>26784441
Just for a second, not long at all, just long enough to see a pearl white mouth covered by a golden enshrouded hoof, and two eyes that sparkled with barely held joyous tears beneath an ever flowing mane.
The princess did not say a word, likely she could not if she wanted to, instead only staring with unchecked emotion and an open, fluttering heart at the one she had known so long ago. Just as she had known her, so very long ago.
Not just in the sense of being alive physically, either.
The mare's pause did not hold, nor did her gaze hold to the tall white alicorn, even when she reached out along the separation that was too far even for her long legs. Instead, the only one of them not an alicorn shared the look behind the red and white streaked mane freely, from lavender to white to orange in turn. She smiled all the while, the truest, most honest smile they had ever seen on her face, any one of them.
There was a breathless word on the white lips when she turned away, blinking free the wall of moisture that had blurred her vision so that she may look to her most faithful student freely, and seek answers. Yet, she was left without and in confusion, every bit Twilight herself was, when the lavender alicorn just shrugged helplessly and shook her head in denial of the question that had not been asked. Words of praise that had been all but exploding from Princess Celestia's lips found themselves hollow and empty. Though in truth, she could not care in the least how, she found herself drawn to her elder former student, and her heart fluttering with happiness once more when she saw that loving, joyous grin.
Sunset ignored the exchange, just as she had this whole time, and looked to them all again and again, before settling on her newest teacher, the mare she had known in the other world to be one of her closest friends.
She settled on Applejack, smiled even brighter than before, and at last, they heard her speak again.
>Go fuck yourself, Applejack.
>>26784446
okay, ya got me, I giggled
>>26751744
I just want to laugh at this. The whole bit with Chysalis was that she refused to look past assumed alternative motives. And actual one she won't.
>>26784446
Holy shit, my sides.
That was such a perfect note to end on.
>>26751767

>Ya'll ta' lie.
"Well, I'm not. I did this because I want something."
>...huh.
>>26784789

'HEY FUCK YOU!'
>Shut up, Chrysalis. Buddies are talkin'.

>>26784789
>Will ya' tell me what it is?
"Nope."
>AH HAH! Yer' hidin' somethin'!
"Yep."
>Well, unless you tell me, Ah' won't trust you!
"Fair enough, but I don't care if you trust me, it doesn't directly or indirectly benefit me. If I thought you trusting me would help the big picture, I'd tell you. If anything, that just means you're not bringing anything to my table."
>...Pretty please tell me?
"I respectfully decline, just like I'm sure you'd decline me asking about your secrets."
>...shoot.

"AJ"
'Twilight'
~Celestia~
~~~
"...Come again?"
It was desperate, the most honest mare in the world would admit. As pointless as it was when she knew quiet well what it was the other mare had said, she still had to hold out that vain hope that she had heard it wrong, that she hadn't meant it, anything. This day already made so little sense to her she might as well have woken up in another world, maybe the universe would be so kind as to leave those words ambiguous as well.
In her desperation, she sought kindness from this universe.
>Goooo... fuck yourself.
She might as well have sought water on the moon.
>Gooooo fuck yourself!
She sprang again, jumping like a spring trap had snapped up from beneath her.
>Go fuck yourseeeeellf, go fuck-go fuck-go fuck yourseeeeelf!
She literally sang it out, as loudly and as joyously as she could. Dancing around on the tips of her hooves, and never once losing that Cheshire grin that split her face. There was strangely no malice in her words to be found, or if so they were drowned out by pure elation, but every word nonetheless struck with the mare who she so callously sang at as if it had been the deepest insult.
>Goooooooo~ fuck yourself~!
'That's enough, Sunset!'
Every bit for her friend who's face became more broken with every lyric sang so brightly, the Element of magic felt the need to step forwards the instant she saw the faintest twitch of a leg in those watching the spectacle unfold.
If Sunset managed to start a musical with this, Applejack would never live it down.
>Or what!? Huh huh huh huh!?
Little taps followed her as she raced over on nothing but her hooftips, shoving herself right in the face of her surprised former foe with all the regard for personal space as a grenade.
>What'cha gonna do? Huh?
'Sunset, I don't know what's going on, but you broke into my lab, and you need to start talking or-'
>Or what? Gonna lock me up? Huh? Gonna arrest me for that? You think so?
'Sunset I-'
>WAIT!
1/6
>>26785971
All three stopped, chilled when the mare suddenly and eerily slowly raised her hoof before the stunned mare, showing off the underside to all who wanted to see.
>You see this?
'I... I don't...'
Helplessly, she looked to the other two, gaining nothing but open stares for her trouble.
>You see what's in my hoof? Do ya', Twilight?
Her horn already calling magic, just on the off chance the unhinged mare did something regrettable, she finally found the courage to face her again.
'Sunset... I don't see anything there.'
>Really? Huh, weird, that's where I kept all the fucks I give.
'...'
>Boop!
She tried not to let it show how much it bothered her when her nose was pushed slightly.
She failed.
'...Why are you doing this?'
>Caaause, FUCK YOU TOO!
She slid back, hooves never fully leaving the ground as she moved further and further away, her affable attitude as unshakable from her face as her grin
>Everybody now! Screw you Twilight, go fuck yourself~! Screw you Applejack, I-
~ENOUGH!~
At last, the eldest princess had found her voice.
Not a moment too soon, the dancers had already been moving into place.
~Sunset, you will end this foolishness!~
With every single powerful, regal step, her mane jolted a bit more wildly. Power arced off of her as her head raised higher, and the gaze she laid down upon the much smaller mare was nothing short of withering to any beneath her sun.
~We need to know how you did this!~
>Oh, you want to know? Well, I got an answer for you right here.
All the Princesses power, and it hadn't moved her any stronger than a pleasant breeze on a summer day. She leaned casually against the fountain she had been dancing in so very shortly ago, and once more held up her hoof as if for inspection.
>See this, right here? I'm going to tell you what you can do with it... uh... uh...
At last, something had been found to break that unbreakable smile.
>Uh... wait...
Something had been found to give her pause.
>...Nevermind.
26
>>26785981
It lasted only a second, and was gone, but not unnoticed. Not by the princess she stared down, and certainly not by herself.
"Sunset..."
A rasp, deep and empty, was all that could distract her, and the two glaring her down with enough venom to kill the deadliest of snakes.
Despite all the mockery, the near musical number telling how little care there was for herself or any other, a single voice of desperation managed to reach her. A single voice, from a sad princess of honesty.
"Sunset, we... we just want to know what you did, we're happy for you, we are, we just-"
>AHAHAHHAHAAHAHH!
Every single laugh, and there were thousands stuffed into every second, cut her like knives thrown in a hurricane. Just when one ended, another took it's place, and it just kept coming around and around again.
>BUUUUULLLLLLLLL!
The airhorn atop the tallest lighthouse couldn't have matched her howl, nor could it have made Applejack's head ring a fraction of the amount.
>Bullshit, you fuckers care that I'm alive! I'M ALLIIIIIVE!... Ahem.
She'd actually had to slap herself before the cries had taken over again.
"Sunset... of course we care, how could you say that-"
>Because I have a brain! And it's alive again! ALIIIVE!... No, I'm letting that one out, I needed that. Fuck you, you don't care! None of you ever actually cared! Bullshit, you fuckers gave a damn! All you care about is how I did it, finally! How I finally got the ability to tell you all to go FUCK OFF and not wait for you to get off your lazy asses anymore or beg for scraps! None of you fuckers cared about me, and guess what? Now I can return the favor! So fuck you, fuck you, and fuuuuuck you! Kiss my ass, all of you!
Her tail swished with every jiggle as she brought visual aide to her otherwise oral presentation.
If the violent, terrible shake that took over the orange fur was any sign, Applejack was not appreciative.
"...You..."
3/6
>>26785994
The second violent jolt as her hooves nearly dug into the ground all but confirmed this mindset.
"You really think..."
When the stone began to crack, even Sunset's dance had given pause.
Even if her smile remained.
"You seriously think Ah' don't care about you after all the shit Ah' did for you!? You... what gives you the nerve ta' say-"
The magic, unstable as it was, never got a chance to fully form. Brazenly, without a hint of fear, Sunset Shimmer advanced, until she was so close she could all but taste the breath that came from the Alicorn's nose.
>HA! HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA!
Every single time, it grew louder, until she was all but screeching in her ear.
>Oh thaaaaank you, TEACHER, thank you so much for that one time we talked and you said to get a vice! That was sooooo useful, and so helpful in my decision making! And then, wow! I think we talked about plants one time after that! And...
She made a show of it, jamming her hoof into her own cheek to pop out her tongue, rolling her lips to give the impression she would mull over every bit of it.
>...OH! Guess that's it! WOW! SO FUCKING HELPFUL! Good job! Hey! Everyone! Round of applause for the mare who talked to me twice about stuff! Gotta admit though, if you were trying to teach me how to ignore and forget about someone and abandon them to go do crazy shit, I'd be a professor by this point!
It spoke unfortunate levels about how prone to following the average Canterlot citizen was that several of them almost raised their hooves, until a stern glare from their prime matriarch cut that down.
>But hey, you sure made a lot of promises! You promised me you'd help me with that whole friendship thing!... WOW! Look at all the friends I made! Oh, then you promised me you'd help me readjust to the new Canterlot... Thanks! All caught up, Teach! You were a big help! Oh, then we were gonna do magic lessons, wasn't that fun!? Magic!... WHELP!
4/6
>>26786013
What had been on Applejack's tongue at the start of this, the lashing and the rage she had been ready to pour out, had been nothing short of venomous.
Now, with every passing word, it felt more and more benign, if not useless.
>Oh, and then, annnnnd then! Then you made the biggest promise of all! After my colossal fuckup, and it was mine don't you worry, after that, you promised me, you promised me, that you would keep working until I was back to normal, you swore to me I'd feel again if it was the last thing you did! You were going to look out for me, and we were going to get through this, you and me!
What little gap there was closed again, when their noses just barely touched.
>I hope you enjoyed your fucking vacation.
The voice, despite the words, was not hateful, it was not spiteful, it was not even mocking. If anything, it was hollow and empty. She could not even bring up the emotion to properly insult her, right there.
It stuck far harder than if she had.
She was not even rough when she shoved away, if anything, she was light as a feather.
When she turned around to the others, she was every bit as flippant.
>Oh hey! You two promised that too! Hey, Twilight! Hows that fix coming!
The lavender mare bit back whatever scathing retort she had been building, grinding the words between her teeth to keep from doing something regrettable to the one who had been so callous to her friend.
>No? Well, you made a fuckload of progress elsewhere, I noticed! Good job with that, and all the ways you can't fix me!
'Is that why...'
Her teeth kept grinding, the words barely slipping out in between as the memory of how this all started returned.
'Is that why you went through my computer?'
>Of course it was! Cause, and this is gonna sound dumb, when the possibility came by of fixing me, first thought in my head was 'well! You don't know! Maybe Twilight is working on something!' So I just had to check, and you know what I found?... PLPLPLPL!
5/6
>>26786021
'It... it wasn't ready yet-'
>And you know what? I bet it never was! It was never gonna be ready, because you never freaking worked on it!
Twilight tried to form a thousand denials, a hundred ways to tell her how she was so wrong.
She couldn't manage a one.
~That's enough, Sunset! Twilight did all she could-~
>How would you know?
Gentle, yet forceful words went silent, when the princess realized she had nothing to give for such a simple question.
>No, seriously, did you ask? Anyone? You see her all the time, just a quick 'hey, how we coming on the whole bringing my student back to life again? She's dead you know, can't feel anything! Real problem!'... Oh, wait! A doy, that only happens if you have any stake in it succeeding or failing, silly me!
It seemed painful when the mare hit herself in the face with her hoof. In truth, it was, but none could understand how wonderful it was for her to feel that pain again.
"We tried-"
>No, you didn't.
Orange lips flapped slowly, mimicking a beached fished gasping for air, but nothing came out.
>Applejack?
They kept moving, kept trying to form something, anything to say, right until the end.
>You never even tried.
Right until the end, when her former student spoke with casual finality, that allowed for no argument.
".. Ah' didn't even ask to be your teacher..."
The sad fact is, even though she hadn't meant to say it, even though it had been nothing more than an emotion she couldn't hold in any longer that had slipped free before she could bring it back, in her state she felt that it was all she had in terms of rebuttal, or argument.
It was weak, it was desperate, and everyone knew this.
Most of all, Sunset.
>It showed.
~~~Damn! Not gonna get three out tonight. Fuck, I'm gonna go nuts tomorrow until I can write it! Next part is big!
>>26786033
>mic drop
>Sunset out!

"Uhhh..."
'Wow.'
>See? Told you we wanted no part in that, I don't think our presence would have helped in the least.
"Point taken."
'Barely even know the lady.'
>Unlike me, who knew her in the-ahem- Faustian Bible sense of the word.
"You...fucked Sunset Shinmer."
>Well technically it was her being controlled by my mother or something.
'THAT MAKES IT WEIRDER!'

Oh my stars, I want to see that. All of Canterlot United in singing 'Fuck you Applejack' in history's most derisive song number. It would've been a huge subversion of 'It's all your fault, Celestia'

"Were YOU dead?"

'...I don't know etiher, don't look at me.'
>Lavan
"???"
The cottage was small, small and that other thing, what was it called? Cozy. Yes, cozy. The meteor was not cozy, it was several orders below cozy, it was the other thing. Cramped? Cramped.
He was learning, this pleased him.
Still, even as his flames licked at the wooden interior, only through his will not catching the place aflame, he couldn't help but notice a lapse in logic.
>This can't be her house.
He wasn't exactly an expert on Alicorns, this much was certain, having only really known two. Still, he had picked up from context clues that they seemed to prefer gigantic castles to more humble abodes, so this was a mystery.
>Oh! Duh, it's the chaos, makes everything topsy turvy! I bet this WAS castle but the chaos made it an itty bitty cottage, yes?
He inquired to a pheasant, who glared at him before trying to return to sleep.
>Yes, I am the thing that is called a sleuth now, this pleases me. I bet if I keep looking the facade will fall away and I can speak with the chaos alicorn! Onwards!
He floated further into the cottage, eyes darting about eagerly, looking to find a way to pierce the illusion.
It was about the fifth circuit through the kitchen before he realized things were not what they seemed...no wait, the opposite, they were exactly as they seemed!
>Strange, very strange.
A flicker of movement in the corner of his eyes made him turn, in time to see a figure jump over towards a corner of the room.
>Hi, I'm Lavan.
He advanced on the figure.
The very small figure.
The very small white figure.
Standing in a corner next to a food dish, a water bowl, and a sign reading 'Time Out', was a bunny.
An oddly ominous bunny.
"Hello, Clarice."
>...D'aw, you're adorable!
"You're going to die in here."

~Celestia~
~~~~~
Two words was all it took.
Just two words, and it resonated with her more than an entire speech listing all of her failures in sonnet form every could.
>It showed.
Two little words summed it all up.
"I... I didn't..."
She hadn't meant it like that, is the phrase she was so desperately trying to force free. She hadn't meant to make it sound like she was unwanted or unneeded. It had been a plea for mercy, a request not to judge her quite so harshly when she was so unprepared. That is what she had been intending, and that was the honest truth.
>Yeah, you didn't.
She had mastered summing it all up in so few words, it seemed. If nothing else, she may have at least taught her former student how to be blunt. She doubted it, the more she spoke the more it seemed she learned nothing at all but the wrong lessons, but at least there was a possibility.
>You didn't care.
'THAT'S ENOUGH!'
The alicorn was free to breath again, even if she found she couldn't make use of that newfound freedom. Magic beyond what most were capable of seized the unicorn in it's grasp and pulled her away, jerking her roughly to face the furious gaze of her greatest foe of the other world.
'I don't know where you get off thinking we owe you anything after all the stupid shit you did, or why you think you have the right to demand anything from us, but you can stuff it! We had no reason to help you after you did that, and you should be thankful we were kind enough to-'
>But you said it.
She had hoped for a bit of weariness, or at least anger. Nothing could have unsettled her more than the unicorn still smiling, like all of this was just a game.
>You guys said you were going to do it, to fix me and help me and all that, right?
'That doesn't mean-'
>That you had to do it, I know, but that does mean I'm gonna wait for it and expect it... you know, unless you were lying.
'We weren't lying to you-'
>Prove it!
1/4
>>26791992
There was only a second hesitation, just long enough for Twilight to try to gather herself once again and speak more freely, and it was all she needed.
>Yeah, I know, I should've known when you said "I'll keep working until you're better", "Until you can feel again", until you aren't a corpse, all of that meant that you'd maybe get around to it when you had the time or the drive, and wow were you short on both!
'Stop it.'
>Maybe if you had just been like "Well I might work on it at some point or maybe not" I could have been fixed ages ago, but that's on me! I should have asked or been insistent. No, I don't blame you, this was my fuckup, just like that rock killing me and letting me bleed out on the floor alone was my fuckup. All that? That whole mess? That was on me. My dying was on me. And me taking so long to be alive again?... That's on me.
'Stop it...'
The whole time, without so much as a twitch, the smile remained on her face.
>Because I should have known none of you ever cared, and just gone somewhere else from the start.
'STOP IT!'
The unicorns whole body flung up, jerking to a stop only a few inches away in a rough shove that left her breathless, at least for the moment.
She was still smiling.
'We... we might not have done everything right, but we tried, we did want you to come back...'
>Did you?
Doubt, at last, began to worm its way into the lavender alicorn's mind.
>I don't think you did.
'...How did you do it?'
The magical grip shook, but it would not break.
'How did you figure out how to do it? There shouldn't have been... it shouldn't be possible. This makes no sense, you should have died when-'
>Awww, wouldn't you like to know? Well, screw you.
'SUNSET!'
She shook the mare in her grasp, harder this time.
'I have to know this! I have to know how you did this! This is beyond what should physically be possible! This shouldn't be...'

>>26792002
An idea suddenly appeared, as bright as if it were one of those cartoonish lightbulbs over her head.
'...Was it Discord-'
>HA HA HA!
All three, indeed every spectator present, jolted back when she did that. There had been something terrible in that mocking laugh, something awful had made it's way through.
Something quite dark and unsettling.
'What-'
>You know what? Twi, fuck off. Seriously? Go fuck off, I've got stuff to do.
~Sunset!~
The tallest princess advanced, a slight shake in her step from the whirlwind of all that had come so far, but not enough to slow her down.
~Sunset, I demand you tell us at once! This matter is beyond just you, and it is vital we know! Tell us!~
>Or. Else. What?
The crowd around them tensed up, and the circle beyond this show widened.
The princess was not amused.
~Do you really want to go there, Sunset? You've just got your life back, do not be so reckless with this second chance.~
She only smiled.
Nothing but smiles.
>Hey, Celestia?
No honorifics, no title, not even a hint of respect in her voice.
>Go fuck yourself.
It was all but expected.
~...Very well.~
She began to summon her vast power, the magic that wielded the sun like a bauble rising to her call, and a tingle surrounded all of them.
~It is time we take this to a stage more private. You have broken into royal grounds, I suppose we have excuse enough to detain you.~
Still smiling, even now.
>Yeah, I figured as much.
The other princess tensed, but did not slow in her magic.
"Princess..."
It was only the weak voice from her newest fellow that could do that.
"Maybe we should just... you know..."
She didn't say it. Nor did she need to.
'Applejack! She broke into my lab, and is now-'
"She... come on, Twi, she was just tryin' to see... she wasn't breakin' in like a thief..."
The magic had slowed, stalled while the smaller princess spoke.
It was not long before it resumed.
3/4
>>26792011
~Be that as it may, a crime is still a crime. We shall discuss this matter privately, and come to a consensus there. This is no place for a debate for a crime, and we are leaving~
>Yeeeeeeaahhhhh, about that.
There was no fear, nor worry to the magic closing over all three. Instead, in blatant defiance, she relaxed back into the magical hold as if it were a hammock.
>That's probably not gonna happen.
~Do you plan to fight us, Sunset?~
>Oh, no, noooo no no. I just got this thing back to working order, I'm not gonna wreck it. It's the leaving part.
Regally, the alabaster princess raised her head high, an eyebrow cocking up to look down on the other mare.
~Do you have a problem with us leaving and ending this spectacle, Sunset Shimmer?~
>Me? Nah, I'm fine... now, her on the other hoof?
It was only now that they noticed the ground shook, and had been shaking slightly this whole time.
>She's probably got an issue with it.
The magic stopped, just before it could close and whisk them away in a feat of teleportation.
Stopped not by other magic, but by a single, shattering blow against it that made Celestia's head ring like a bell.
All eyes, be they princess, peasant or pauper, left the smug mare, and focused on the source of the mini earthquakes, the one who made the world shake with her every step.
The one holding eyes of fire, fangs that seemed hungry for blood, and power that rolled off her in such ways it would overflow the city if it had only been physical.
Queen Chitania had arrived.
And she was angry.
"...You gotta be buckin' kidding me."

"Uh-"

>Gee, y'know what would've made this situation better? Me. Out there. Talking. Because when a situation is tense, me talking just makes it alllll better. Maybe I should go out there and talk now-
"'NO!'"
>...So, cower in terror?
"'Cower in terror.'"
>>26792018
OH SHIIIIIIII
>Jetset
“???”
~~
Even when halls away, the elated yelling was hard to miss, and harder still to ignore. But regaining ones life, in a way, was obviously something to be ecstatic about, and that bacon-maned mare was certainly on cloud nine about it.
Every once in awhile, Jetset’s ear would flicker at a jovial shout, or at the flurry of curse words being dropped like a carpet bomb.
And it made his heart sink to know that both of his Queens were catching the brunt of it.
Normally, he would have teleported right over there and silenced the yells in a flash. But he didn’t, for two reasons.
One, because his primary Queen had somehow done away with his unique ability.
And two, because… that bacon-haired mare was right.
He didn’t like it, or appreciate the coarse language given stature, but he wasn’t blind to when his superiors took a misstep.
>…But the two of them… they will bounce back from this.
He kept walking, something that was wholly new to him at such lengths.
>The sun shines beautifully over apples and encourages them to grow to their full potential. They compliment each other too well for failure; they’re amaranthi-
When he tripped over a lump on the floor, he found out else was everlasting: the pain in his muzzle.
“You mind? Trying to be an invisible forgotten lump here.”
>Well, you got the invisible part right. Forgotten, not so much.
“Our two favorite mares might disagree with… whoa, where in the hell are your shades? Your eyes are so-”
>Never mind that. As probably the only other soul who looks after my queens as much as I do, I… we need to talk, Spike. I suspect in a few hours, give or take a few minutes, Princess Applejack is going to need your help.
The alert that flashed over the young dragons face was more reassuring than it should have been.
“Help? MY help? With what?”
Jetset stared, and stared hard, doubtful and resolute at the same time.
>I need you to take my place for awhile.
“…what?”
>>26792247

"...what?'
>I need you to take my place defending the Queens.

>Not, like, right now though, that's fucking Chitania out there.

>And I guess you probably wouldn't do much against even a really strong unicorn...

He can't remember the last time he just walked down the street without looking over his shoulder. The night air was cool, the streets barren, the company quite nice, everything was there to make him let his guard down.
>So then I started to wonder if maybe brains themselves could be altered, or if there's some sort of base programming that would prevent new cells from being attached to it.
The mare beside him giggled, more than a little tipsy.
"Wow, lotta big words there! Have you been studying?"
>Maybe. Maybe I'm just eating your brain when we're together. Om nom nom.
She giggled again, letting out a little squeal when he nibbled on her mane. Of this, he was thankful, usually that joke got screams and guards being called.
"Look, if you're going to eat my brain, just focus on the part about junior prom. Ughhhhh. Jackass stood me up and then went on a date with another mare."
>Well, hope that didn't give you a complex or anything.
"There is some evidence it effected my taste in guys..."
>Heh... how was your company retreat?
"Can't talk about it."
>Ohhh, don't want to admit you shacked up with all the other scientists? I see how it is.
"So possessive! Gonna beat them up too?"
>Well, the one time it happened had quite a fun ending...
She snorted and chuckled, drunkenly wobbling when she shoved his unmoveable body.
"That was coooool. You were all, WHA CHA!"
>Ow.
"And whhoooop!"
>Ow.
"And HI-YA!"
Instead of hitting him that last time, she faceplanted hard.
>You're drunk.
"Sober enough to consent!"
>I'll take your word for it.
"Hee hee... but seriously, I barely even talked to anyone. Just sat in my room when we weren't working..."
>I was only joking, it's not like I'd have a problem with it.
"Bleeehh."
>I can't tell if that was the alcohol or sarcasm.
"Bleh."
>Thank you for clarifying.
"Oh, thank goodness..."
There was the home he knew all too well at this point, and not a moment too soon.
"Home swwweeeet home."

Sooooo, I was listening to 'Snacks 'Shiny' rap and these lyrics-
>You need to take a minute, recognize your self-worth!
>Gaffy, 8-bit, and Dex — don’t sell yourselves short
>You guys’re my pals, that’s something that’ll never change
>I may be up in this castle but I’m always in range!
-made me think of something.
Where in the hell ARE Gaffy and 8-Bit?
>>26792655
Hell, where they belong
>>26792650
It took more than a few tries to get it, but her key eventually slid in just where it should.
"So... you coming inside?"
She gave him quite the look when she pushed the door open, peering over her shoulder with a half lidded gaze.
>I am still wondering how drunk you are.
Her tail flicked under his chin in response.
"Sober enough."
>...If you wish.
He followed her inside, unable to keep the grin off his face, already tasting the recharge that was to come. They made their way inside, with him so close her tail never left his neck.
"Now... why don't you do that thing I like."
>Your co workers are going to start noticing bitemarks on your neck.
"...Good."
He smiled, his wings already fluttering to assist as he rose up. He could already feel the tingles when his hooves found her, and-
"Seven?"
>Hm?
He looked up with half lidded eyes, only now noticing something was... off.
>...look, if you want a foursome you really have to field it with me first-
(SNK!)
{SYSTEMS LEAVING SLEEP MODE!}
(Oh, fuck dude... is she still not back?)
{It's been a damn week, her fridge is empty...}
(Meh, maybe we'll call for a pizza.)
{Oh, yeah! That'll prevent us from being seen here!}
(We just won't open the door for fucks sake!)
{How does that... uh..}
(What?)
{Dude... duuude...}
(Oh... oh shit!)
He hadn't been looking at them the whole time, and even then they could see the white and pink dragon put on a 'go face' before he slowly turned to face them.
(Hello, Ms Neon. Your employer would like-WHOA WHOA WHOA HOLY SHIT NO!)
{DUDE WHAT THE FUCK!?}
(FOUL! FOOOOOUL! NO MA'AM NOT IN THIS HOUSE!)
{YOUR HOUSE HE MEANS!}
It was only now that Seven noticed he was still on top of her.
"...Did you guys break into my house!?"
(...)
{...Screw it?}
(Screw it.)
Claws became lava, a chainsaw popped out, and Seven resigned himself to the fact he wasn't going to be having much fun tonight.

“What in the hell did shooting yourself accomplish anyway? There was bloodshed, panic, screams- what have we gained from this besides a hospital bill that neither of us can pay for?”
>The earth pony traitor princess will take care of that. I’m technically her prisoner at the moment which makes her my surrogate parent, and the parent always pays.

'Twilight'
~Celestia~
(Chitania)
~~~~~
"Really? Now? Of all the times..."
Were there some list for the absolute last individual of any species those present would want to show up in an event such as this, there was likely a consensus among most that the Queen changeling was at the very least quite near if not atop that very list. Most of them, at least.
At the moment, those in the crowd that parted like a seafloor split open could think of no other that they would prefer less to be here than the changeling who stomped her way towards them with slow uncaring regard.
'Damn it...'
The lavender alicorn who bore the guilt of her release certainly would agree.
"Of all the times..."
As did the one who bore the guilt for her ability to walk around freely. They were angry, as much as the Queen herself seemed to be, and much, much more annoyed.
~Chitania!~
Only one of the princesses retained her regal grace, and moved forwards to meet the powerful gait of the former royal.
~I do not know what petty little grievance you have for us this time, but it shall have to wait! Matters beyond what issues you have are currently present, and need dealt with. If you've something to say, make an appointment, and one more strike like that against my magic or any other and I shall consider it nothing less than an act of war.~
Only she could remind them all just what it was to be royalty, and make her subjects stare in awe.
(Oh shut up, you ineffectual prop, I'm not here for you.)
If only it had worked the same with the Queen.
~If that is true, then we have nothing left to say to one another. Nor do my fellow princesses. Leave.~
The Queen barely even scoffed, and continued her advance.
The princess was powerful, to be sure, but if there was one lesson she had learned more than the need for power in all these years of rule, it was this.
Always bring backup.
"Chitania!"
1/4
>>26793867
The orange mare gave her full attention, her previous devastation put on hold to see to her duty, just as she tried to do so much in the past. Be it from past relations, or out of nothing but curiosity, the Queen gave her the attention she desired, her and the other mare who was already rushing to join her side to fight together as they had so many times before.
"Oh come on now! Look, can ya' just go away for three gaddang seconds? We got a real problem here, Chitania!"
'I know it's hard to believe, but it's bigger than you! Just... go away, me or Applejack will talk to you later-'
(And what makes you think I'm here for either of you?)
Not another word needed to be said. What came next was instinct, nothing more. All previous events forgotten and disregarded for the moment, when the two newest princesses moved between the Queen, and the only one of them who was now mortal in all ways.
"You'd better keep that big black rear of yours right there, or else-"
(Or else, what? It's not like I haven't defeated most of you in the past.)
"Stop it now, Ah' said..."
She did no such thing, even when all three princesses effortlessly slid into a stance that said they were all too ready to fight.
'What do you want!?'
At last, she slowed. Not of worry, or fear, but only for the need to lift up her hoof and point.
(I am here, for that one. We have business, her and I.)
They needed not look to know exactly where she was pointing.
~...Is that so?~
Things at once became tellingly clear, and so very, very unclear.
"If you want to get to her... you're gonna have to go through us."
'All of us!'
~And fair warning, I am under no delusion of restraint regarding you.~
Staring down all three, the Queen felt a rush unlike any she'd had in quite some time. The chance to cut loose was certainly tempting to her, and it sang to her like a sirens song.
(Three to one?... Those odds have not worked thus far.)
2/4
>>26793891
All fangs bared as she smiled, her raised hoof planting itself firmly back into the ground, tensing so powerfully the ground began to break beneath her stance.
(Through you, you say? A tempting offer, and not one I've done in years. Well, if you're up for it, lets see just how far you're willing to... willing to... to... uh...)
That hoof that had lowered rose once more, a little different looking this time.
This time, it had a smiling yellow bundle wrapped around it.
"SUNSET!"
'What the heck!?'
Twilight hadn't even noticed her breaking her magic, nor had any seen her move. She had been so fast that one moment she was behind all the princesses, and the next, she was latched on to the changeling like a parasite.
~Put her down!~
The Queen glanced back and forth between the shocked princess and her new passenger, before raising a single eyebrow and starting to wiggle her hoof.
The pony remained.
(Uh...)
Wiggle wiggle she went, and not a single thing changed.
(Um...)
More forceful jerks were applied, proving as effective as before.
(Huh...)
Finally, the Queen broke all pretense, and started wildly gyrating her hoof up and down, flopping the pony seizing her hoof all about, but never managing to break the unbreakable hold.
Wearily, as much to the gawking princesses and onlookers as it was to herself, she gave a shrug.
(Hrmph.)
She stomped her hoof down as she tried to regain her imposing nature, tried to summon back just a bit of the fear she commanded with her very presence alone. Those gathered had a hard time of it, the illusion broken completely when the pony began rubbing her cheek on the long foreleg.
After giving all that she had, the nastiest glare any present had ever seen, and getting not even close to the result she so wished, she had to indulge in a very rare thing for herself.
(I've got nothing.)
She had to admit defeat.
(...Meh, whatever. Bye.)
3/4
>>26793897
If only to end the awkward stares, and at least partially out of a completion of her mission, the Changeling Queen turned around to leave, and proceeded to do just that.
It was only a massive wall, taller than even the buildings all around her, rocketing up from the ground and blocking her path that gave her pause. While she knew full well she could quite easily shatter it with a single swing of her hoof, something deep down told her that, right that second, she needed to turn around.
She was not disappointed.
The wide mouth of the previously catty prime princess alone was worth it. The almost comically googling eyes of the smaller, purple colored one was icing on the cake.
Impossibly, even more worth it than either combined, was the mishmashed emotions of twisted, remorseful, angered, confused and hurt and desperate all dancing together in a gnarled orange face.
"Talk."
She did not so much speak it as growl it, flat and shiny teeth barred like a wild animal. All those present in the crowd around them felt fear and uncertainty once again, and not a single one of them directed it at the monolith who had once smashed their city.
The only ones not shocked, nor worried, nor fearful, were the pair of Titan Queen who gave a withering glare to the one at her hoof, and the still smiling, still hugging little lampry attached to her.
(What, exactly, did you tell them?)
>Just this.
The mare leaned back, her hair pointed straight to the ground as she locked gazes with the whirlwind of emotions currently causing stone streets to break beneath her hooves. Without a single regard for the power, or the feelings, quite openly on display, Sunset Shimmer smiled.
>Go fuck yourself, Applejack.
Nobody even had time to cry out, before the first rock lifted itself from the ground.
~APPLEJACK, NO!~
>>26793906
Oh please dear merciful god let that rock hit a soft spot betwixt those bacon-inspired locks....
>>26793906

I don't care that she's not there, just root for her. It works every time.
>>26793897
Okay so the mental image of Sunset smiling, sinking her claws into and rubbing herself against Chitania like an overly affectionate cat is oh so deliciously hilarious to me

It might be that.
She might literally be overloaded on sensations and the feeling of freedom, so much so she's high as a fucking kite naturally.
>>26782070
You mean how little? because it is not much. She doesn't have a firm enough grasp to fight without cheat codes yet. And since we have basically done play by play with her life since she dropped the apple, she has not sufficiently trained.
Giving AJ credit for her win and saying she can now take on stronger is like saying that Trixie is strong enough to take Twilight because of the Alicorn Amulet duel. Even Rage Boner boosted she is out classed by Twilight, so she isn't going to win.
>>26794390
The elation of something finally going right after so long broke her. She is overjoyed to be alive but her goal is now "kill Discord". Getting the catharsis with AJ/Twi/Celly was just something that this overload of emotion allowed her to let out.
side note. We should kill the hooker or 13. That is a sure fire way to screw Chitty. Because we either kill the replacement for her only pony friend (the one who's death stole all of Chitty's remaining fucks) OR her daughter.

>t, considering Chrysalis trounces Twilight and AJ trounced Chrysalis during said rage boner, but they haven't duked it out and probably won't ever so it doesn't really matter anyway.
That's not totally accurate, when she was at full power Chrysalis easily stopped whatever AJ threw at her and beat her down to the ground, AJ didn't stand a chance until she made Chrysalis think she couldn't fly or use magic.
Chrysalis one-handed that mountain being thrown at her and gave no fucks to any magic AJ was bringing to bare, it's not like this was a big challenge.
>>26794962
You mean the fight Chrysalis was half fighting at the start and spent most of it being mind controlled into missing, not dodging, and hitting herself while having her power nerfed everytime she found an opening? Things AJ can't do anymore. She literally made her unable to fly because her using her wings were seen as too much of an advantage.

>Applejack is reminded of funny story about one of her cousins. Maud waves hi and a literal pie is thrown. Rainbow Dash wants to be the very best, but no one ever was! If Spike fits, he sits. Silver Spoon is surprised her ice cream is intact when DT finally brings it. Luna occasionally trips out when she realize she's awake and not in a dream. The crusaders accidentally help somepony understand their cutie mark! Find out what happens next time in thread 129: Apple Bacon Strips!...and of course allergy fanservice!

"D-dude... dude... we did it."
'Yeah, that's pretty accurate.'
"N-no, you don't get it, we're... we're back."
'Unnngh, he wants it in the back again? Fine.'
"Wha? No, dude, we already got it, we don't need to do this anymore."
'...But can we?'
"..."
'No homo. I said no homo before he did it, that means it's no homo.'
"..."
'That's how it works. It's not gay to have a big strong stallion holding you gently in his arms and making you see stars if you call no homo.'
"...what about when we were side by side, and you kinda leaned over and kissed me-"
'I called no homo.'
"It's on your face."
'No homo shield. Keeps it from getting into the pores.'
"...Uh huh..."
'None of this was homo. Also, I just called no homo, so it wouldn't be if we did it again. Sooo... right here, buddy, any time you want- OW!... What the fuck!? Am... I branded!? How do you brand a dragon!?... What does that say!?'
"..."
'...N-no homo...'
"...Did he just leave without even a goodbye? You know, somehow, that's the worst part of all of this. That right there is the worst."
'I wanted to cuddle...'
"..."
'Non-homosexually, I mean.'
"...I wanted the homo kind."
'GAYYYYYYYY!'
