I imagine this Anon is as stubborn but way more guarded than AJ, never runs off to Manehattan to try the fancy life and either stays as a farmer or becomes the town sheriff or something. Maybe both, overloading himself with work so he doesn't have time to think about his issues. wonder how he'd get his cutie mark
>>
>>43020129
Out of all the mane 6, who could get replaced the safest?
>>
>>43021122
Since this is fanfic though you could really pick any of them and just have Anon mantle the necessary roles/abilities, its his personality that'd cause issues, if he isn't kind/joyous/generous/honest/loyal or magical enough he'd have problems filling the role. Each of the girls is kinda irreplaceable since they all have unique roles and abilities
>>
>>43021127
Anons, what is your strongest element? Which mane six would you replace? Don't be afraid to flaunt your virtues, Equestria is doomed if you've got no redeeming traits.
I do my best to lean into all the elements if I can, but I'd probably end up replacing Fluttershy. I just want to be nice to my fellow horse appreciators.

Not sure, I took one of those quizzes and it said I'm applejack so honesty i guess

>"Good work with those negotiations, stud! We'll be along shortly with our things, you and your little Applebrood can go ahead and start packing up."
>The other one follows after, walking with a noticeable limp
>She's in a much more loopy mood than her sister, and when she makes eye contact with Anonjack she flashes him a wobbly grin

"Fuck."

>>43021797
If the six of them actually learn how to tolerate one another they could probably be the most powerful ponies on the planet. Imagine the sheer strength of their autism-powered weaponized friendship
>>
AnonSparkle, ironically exactly the same as Twilight after pushing himself to fill her role once he realised he'd taken her place, became as neurotic and anxious as she was because he doesn't want to 'fail' his role. He's likely as powerful as Twilight was by virtue of filling her role but throws himself into studying and training to try and keep up with his idea of her which also leads him to being the same again, not making friends or being social instead just locked away in the tower studying.
Him being Twilight though means he's going to surrounded by beautiful mares his entire life, mares he can't do anything with without the fear of ruining things, breaking the timeline or getting it wrong.

Look at the list of cultivars. First one on the list on Wikipedia is Abbondanza.
>Abbondanza Apple, a little green colt born to Pear Butter and Bright Mac

>Anon then sticks as his nickname thereafter
>He only gets called "Abbondanza" when he's in trouble with his parents/Granny

Fuck, I didn't realise until now how badly I wanted to be a Mane Six with a bunch of other anonstallions. Actually sounds fun.

"So Anon, Twilight here is an old pen-pal. You might remember me mentioning her. Like when you didn't cry as a baby I was real worried. She wrote back saying while unusual it happens sometimes."
>"Oh yeah, I remember you writing that one to me."
>Twilight taps her chin as she recalls.
>Anon nods, ears still down and staring at the ground.
>What?
>Is he worried about saying something now?
>Maybe don't push it.
>Look back up to Twilight and shake your head.
>Twilight gives Anon one last determined look before dropping it and looking ahead.

>Odd that Anon never asked to have her do his birthday parties.

"Well that could've gone better. Anon, go chat up with Spike. Not often you get someone like him roll into town."
>"He's wearing a lamp shade."
"That's how you know he knows how to have fun. Come on, we only have a little bit of time before the sun rising. I ain't going to let you sleep past this one."
>Anon looks up the stairs where Twilight ran up.
>"'K."
>You sigh as he moseys on over to the drake.
>Fluttershy next to you also sighs.
>"Aw, he's going to make friends with a dragon his own age. What a beautiful thing."
"I hope so. Was he acting weird today?"
>"Besides what you told me what he said? Just more reserved. Still helpful. My parents are concern."

Anon encourages it, tries to avoid it, solely because this one seems pretty canon-obsessed and doesn't want them introduced "too early". He's kind of a sperg.

>Right, that thing that Princess Celestia wrote about.
"I mean, it's not entirely true, but it has gotten worse. She practically ran away from the idea of attending Moondancer's birthday party."

>"That poor mare. You gotta check up on her, she's probably devastated."
>Play with your empty cup.
"Eh, she has other friends."
>Anon's face flashes with a bit of anger, but it vanishes so fast you think you just imagined it.
"You got friends? I'll be honest you seem pretty reclusive yourself."
>He nods.
>"A few close ones. In Cloudsdale and here."
>"Don't listen to him. This guy is lying his tail off."
>A new challenger appears.

>Anonjack, resident sheriff
.... actually if you want to take a more lighthearted approach to it, Anon being born an Apple and becoming Ponyville's local sheriff sounds really fun. Like 90% of the time he's just helping out Applejack and Big Mac at the farm because Ponyville is generally so peaceful. The rest of the time is either the shenanigan of the week, or more likely keeping the Cutiemark Crusaders from accidentally blowing something up.
>>
>>43021170
I want to say Kindness, but I feel like I've lost a lot of that as I've gotten older and colder. I still try to be nice to people as a general rule, it's only polite, but I'm not sure if I like the adult I've become in terms of mindset and that makes me a bit sad to think about.
>>
>>43027633
You're certainly not alone in that feeling. It's only natural to want to be better than you've ended up, I relate. We just have to trust we'll improve ourselves, slowly and deliberately :)

I think Rainbow Dash was basically teen pregnant? In which case they'd probably know. I really wouldn't be surprised if they were cheering for their daughter in the birthing room.
>>
>>43028293
She told them she ate a watermelon seed
>>
>>43028293
Also Zypher would blab his mouth off.
>>
What if Anon Dash was legitimately a really good flyer but doesn't really want Rainbow Dash to know because it'd feel like rubbing in her ruined dream of being a wonderbolt in her face.

Conversely, what if Rainbow Dash learned Anon was a talented flyer and basically forced herself as his coach, initially because it was a way to bond with her son over something she's really passionate about, but kinda getting out of hand as she subconsciously imagines Anon achieving her dreams of becoming a Wonderbolt.

>"I'm fine."
>Ouch, that deadpan delivery.
>Twilight actually steps up next to them.
>"Actually while we talk to the town hall, could you tell me more about yourself?"
>Zephry pauses as he processes this new pony.
>Then he looks at you.
>And her again.
>A wiry grin crosses his face.
>"You're not going to get Dash jealous. Don't bother."
>Like a gunshot, Anon just shoots his father down.
>He coughs almost uncontrollably.
>"No love for your dear pops?"
>"Just saving you the trouble."
>Twilight is actually writing down something in a notebook floating next to her.
>"Mr. Breeze, I'm was in a support group for teenage mothers. Granted, Ms. Dash and I have aged out of the group. However, I am curious on what you do for a living?"
>Like he was just caught sleeping on a thunder cloud, Zephry pauses from the onslaught of information.
>"Exploring my options right now."

>Chewing on her lip, Twilight looks at Zephry.
>"Go talk to your son, I'm going to ask Dash a few questions."
>Uh what?
"What's this about?"
>"How smart is he?"
"Very. When he thinks I'm not looking. I am. I don't think he got it from either of his parents."
>Twilight hums at that.
>"I wonder if his intelligence is linked to his depreciating value in himself."
"That's a thing?"
>"Or maybe autism."
>Thanks, Twilight.
>"Twilight, you can't just call a child autistic."
>Spike facepalmed.
>"It's very likely the root cause to this situation."
>She might be autistic herself.
"How about this? Think about it, and get back with me after you go home to Canterlot."
>It gets a little crowded as you all stand in front of the town hall doors.
>Have to take to the skies to hover.
>"Right, back to Canterlot. It might not matter."

>Strange, what's bothering her?
>"Mom, please save me."
>Anon in a deadpan voice pleads for you to rescue him.
>Zephyr is doing that thing where he tries to mold Anon's mane into some kind of nonsense.
"Ok, Zephry. We're about to see Princess Celestia. Now is not the time for goofy new age mane art. This is going to be his first time seeing her. Would rather you don't style his mane into something that he can't see past."
>"Dash, he needs to feel loved, and as a emotionally intelligent pony I am applying my skills."
"You can't be serious. He doesn't like being treated like a poodle."
>Or Rarity.
>Don't say that out loud.
>Whining would never cease.

Generosity doesn't have to be about giving physical things. Contributing to a thread in a positive manner is also generous, like, just giving time and effort to it. It's an element I admire and wish I could express more too, but in my case it's mostly low motivation that holds me back from giving as much as I would like.

"Really challenging and demanding on your body. I did it once, but I was very young. Honestly I attribute that to how my body was?"

"Bouncy. I was small and wiry. I could stretch and bend like a spring. It gets way harder as an adult. Not that I haven't tried. Every so often I'll give it a go."
>Slap your hips to make a point.
"I doubt I could do it even if I didn't have this. You need a lot of thrust. You can cheat by going down, but then you hit the resistance."
>"Like air resistance?"
>Shake your head no.

Love this cute lovers image.

>Time stops.
>It wasn’t a slow crawl, it was as abrupt as a dragon crashing into a mountain.
>One minute, you’re lounging on a checkered blanket beneath the dappled shade of a tree, stealing glances at the unicorn you’ve had your eye on the moment you stepped hoof in Ponyville.
>There sits Rarity, her coat catching sunlight like fresh snow, drawing admiring looks from every direction — stallions and mares alike.
>But for you, it’s beyond her looks — it’s the way she tosses her perfectly coifed mane, the gentle lilt of her delicate laughter — little things that make your face burn hotter than the roaring fires of Tartarus itself.
>You’ve always averted your eyes when she catches you staring, terrified she’ll read everything in your expression, see right through to where her sapphire eyes have carved their permanent place in your dreams.
>Those same eyes are now inches from yours, wide with surprise, while something impossibly soft presses against your mouth and sends lightning down your spine.
>This kiss — this impossible moment you’ve imagined countless times — her scent like vanilla and jasmine, her breath warm against your skin — is perfect.
>If only it were actually your doing.
>The pressure of hooves shoving your head forward snaps you back to reality.
>Rarity jerks backward, alabaster cheeks flushed a deep crimson.
>Not as bad as yours, you’re sure.
>Before words form, she grabs her things with a frantic magical aura, turns on her dainty hooves, and gallops off toward her boutique, her tail streaming behind her like a banner of retreat.
>Only one pony orchestrated this disaster.
>And only one pony can be so tactless.
>”Huh, that went a lot better in my head…”
>”Rainbow!”
>>
>>43052227
>As Applejack scolds Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy hovers nervously at your side.
>”Um, Anon, are you okay?” she murmurs.
>But you ignore her and whip around to the source of your misery.
“What in Tartarus were you *thinking*?!”
>”Anon-!” Applejack starts, but Rainbow Dash cuts her off.
>”Sorry somepony finally gave you a *push*! If I’d left you two alone, you’d still be making awkward eye contact come Hearth’s Warming!”
“A ‘push’?! You call what you did a ‘push’? You practically *tackled* us into a public spectacle, you *featherbrain*!”
>Your shouting draws the eyes of nearby picnickers. They begin to drift away, whispering and glancing back over their shoulders.
>If Rainbow Dash feels the sting of your words, she hides it behind a cocky, unrepentant sneer.”Looks like it only took a featherbrain to see how much you two like each other! You know how long Rarity’s been waiting for you to finally grow a spine?”
>You can’t even process the implication — Rarity, waiting for you? — because you’re too busy fuming, emotion boiling your blood.
“That wasn’t your decision to make! You think you’re helping, but you just made things ten times worse! Rarity was mortified!”
>Rainbow snorts, “She’ll get over it. She needed this — you both did! Unless you want to spend the rest of your life pining for Rarity with your tail between your legs!”
>You clench your jaw. Every word grinds like sand between your teeth.
“It’s not your job to decide if, when, or how anypony does anything. Maybe you should mind your own business!”
>”My business is my friends! And you two are my friends, so yeah — it kinda is my business!”
>By now, the rest of your friends are holding both of you back, trying to prevent further escalation.
>Applejack and — to a lesser extant — Fluttershy coax you to calm down while Twilight Sparkle and Spike do the same for Rainbow. Pinkie Pie stands frozen, tears welling in her eyes as she watches.
“Then I’m no longer your friend!” you snap.
>Everypony falls silent, even Rainbow Dash. Their eyes go wide.
>”Y-You don’t mean that…” she stammers, her bravado finally slipping.
>But you don’t care.
>You yank free from their grip and stomp away from the tree.
>All you hear behind you is the thrum of wings flying off in the opposite direction.

>Outside the Everfree Forest, you must be Rainbow Dash.
>Sort of expected this group to protest you joining along given your condition.
>You must have a real intense look of 'no isn't an answer' about you right now.
>What you didn't expect was to baby birded by Zephyr.
>"I read the calories on these things. Wow. Be careful how you load up like this."
"I know what I'm doing. I never stopped living the athlete life style."
>Zephry gulps as he looks in the woods.
>"I really want to go in and help, but I know I would get in the way. This place freaks me out. How did our son make this trip multiple times boggles my mind."
>Fluttershy puts a comforting hoof on her brother.
>"Don't worry. We'll get Anon back and you'll be the first one to know when we rescue him."
"Nightmare Moon is going to regret foalnapping Anon."
>That seething hiss from you is practically poison.
>Look into the saddlebag with your other backup weapon.
"This should help level the playing field."
>Twilight looks at the dark cloud seed.
>"Doesn't this make dangerous weather? In the Everfree it could be incredibly chaotic. Don't you need special license to carry this?"
"Don't worry, it won't be our first choice, and of course I carry. Offensive weather is good home defense."
>Twilight gives you a wary stare.
>"We're not in your home."
"True, we're in the Everfree. Open carry is very legal, though the common consent is that you're looking for trouble when you decide to come in here."
>Applejack gruffs at that.
>"Most ponies don't come out in one piece even when they 'carry'. Ain't nothing but trouble."
>Fluttershy kicks the dirt softly.
>"So are you going to, well, you know."
>Roll you eyes.
"No. I'm not going to ask you to help use it. I'm a professional weather mare. You take care of any angry animals we find in here."
>"Oh thank Celestia. Flying in a tornado is so scary."
>Rarity rolls her hoof to continue on that point.
>"Really, on that important note, do warn us when you decide to destroy the entire area. I really don't want to be thrown ten miles in any direction."
>Pinkie just nods.
>Or you think she is.
>"Just bouncing Dash."
>Thanks Pinkie.
>Right, time to track down Nightmare Moon.
---
>Be Nightmare Moon, you had time to send out your shadow minions to slow down anypony that dares to come find you.
>Suspect that will be Celestia's student.
>Sort of regretting it now.
>Could use them to help you track down this colt.
>A stream of fire shoots over your head, twinging your mane.
>Good thing it's ethereal.
>Cast a bubble shield.
>The flames roll off the shield as you approach the infernal device.
>A click sound is heard as you step on a stone panel.
>Two new torches spring up from the walls parallel to you and torch the inside of your bubble.
>Spitting rage, you have to duck down.
>"On your knees you're highness?"
>>
>>43052365
"These traps were not here before! Celestia made these to have harmless tricks and jokes."
>Somewhere his voice echos.
>"Yeah. Imagine my surprise when your secret passageways had defense features. Honestly, pretty smart. Never know when an assassin could use your own secrets against you."
>Use magic to bend the torches until the nozzle breaks.
>"Could you imagine it? Celestia wants to protect her dear sister from her own whimsy. Must have been difficult work to accommodate both functions. Much good it did her. You still hate her despite her best efforts."
"I am not about to psycho-analyzed by a child. Celestia wanted play the role of god-queen, and she did. Now I'm here to supplant that reign."
>"Is this a might makes ri."
>Crack open a wall with a buck, and find him in an upper room.
>Yelping, he flips back into another secret passage.
>This is going to be impossible.
>He's too nimble, and your memory of this place is too dusty.
"I'd rather not have to tear down the foundations of this place just to catch you."
>"You give up? Wonderful news."
>No, we're done playing like foals.
>Step quietly without a clop into shadows.
>Don't move towards him, he seems to know.
>Close your eyes.
>Reach out with your dream magic to the solitary mind in this place.
>The dreamscape is a mess, but you'll clean it up when you have the time.

“Sure, I’ll…”
>You couldn’t just leave her.
>Leaning in, you stroked Luna’s back and whispered in her ear.
“I’ll come back for you soon. Just hang tight.”
>Nightmare cocked her head and arched a brow watching you.
>”Why bother with her? She is a figment of somepony else’s dream. Here, let me...”
>Her horn flashed purple and shot out an arc of energy.
>It hit Luna and tore her in half.
>You screamed and jerked back and blood and gore splattered on you-
>-until everything left of her evaporated into silvery mist and faded away.
>”...help you focus. Come on now, we ha... t... get ...ing to re…”
>A sudden attack of extreme dizziness hit you.
>Your vision went blurry and white.

”Guhh.”
>Silence.
>White.
>That was all you could hear and see as you laid in nothingness.
>”I’m sorry.”
>And the warm voice of Princess Celestia.
>”I thought I had more time. It’s just…”
>You pushed yourself back onto your hooves and looked around to see nothing.
>It sounded like she was right next to you, but you couldn’t see her anywhere.
>”...It’s just I haven’t had anypony to talk to for so long and got carried away.”
“Well it’s fine it’s just I didn’t know what to do with her and…”
>And it was probably wrong to just decide to go with her.
>”No matter. I have little power here compared to her. All I can do is wake you up. Please, come back soon.”

>You laid on something soft and not quite level that had a faint stench of sweat to it.
>With a grunt, you pushed your upper half off of it to take a look around.
>You were in what had to be the staff break room.
>It had a few tables with chairs around them, the couch you were on on one wall, a sink and a tap with some cabinets above it, a fridge, and a few newspapers scattered about.

>The sound of shod hooves and jingling chain armor approached from beyond an open door.
>You had just enough time to sit up before Night Nimbus, the pegasus mare in her royal guard armor, trotted in.
>”Ah, you’re finally awake.”
>She cast you a deadpan look, but there was a hint of joy in her voice.
>”You went in and the door closed behind you. Then, a while later, it opened again and you fell out, unconscious.”
>Shrugging, she rolled her eyes.
>”So we carried you here. This is the safest place we know.”
>She spun around, spread her wings, and fluttered up to the cabinets over the sink.
>You pushed yourself into a proper sitting position as she pulled out a mug and cranked the tap on to fill it.
“It was weird. I think I saw a part of her memories.”
>Night glanced back at you with a brow arched.
“She was a young filly living in some village with Luna. But she was also right there next to me, looking like she does today, talking about what was going on.”
>”Huh. It’s… weird to think she was a filly. I mean, of course she was, but she hasn’t changed a bit from the first paintings of her. Much less in the time I’ve known her. That must have been...”
>With a flick of her wing, she shut the tap and hobbled towards to you on three hooves as she stroked her chin with a primary.
>”...almost 1300 years ago.”
>She stood still for a moment, then let out a giggle.
>”That was still in the late iron age. I can’t put that into perspective. She’s seen so much.”
>Taking the final few steps, she slid the mug onto the table in front of you.
>”Here. You sweated quite a bit so you’ll need it.”
>You stared at the water in the mug, then at her.
“Thanks.”
>A faint tingle along with the glow of your magic filled the short silence as you floated the mug to your lips.
>>
>>43054209

>”The door turned back into what it’s supposed to be, leading into the Princess’ personal quarters, after you fell out. Spear went to check it out and should be back soon.”
>You ended up drinking three full mugs once the thirst caught up to you.
>Night had dug out a pack of stale cookies from somewhere and gave you a few.
>She was nibbling on one herself.
>”So, that’s all we did. Sat and waited for you. How about you? You said you saw something from far in the past when the Princess was a little filly.”
“I saw either a dream or memory – probably some of both, actually – of her and Luna. Apparently, Luna was very sick when she was young and that’s why she’s so much smaller than her sister. At times, they weren’t sure if she’d make it at all…”
>You shuddered as you recalled the tone of Celestia’s voice.
“But she pulled through in the end. And gained her dreamwarden abilities thanks to it, somehow.”
>That did mean, you realized, that her dream powers were separate from her cutie mark.
>Whether that was important or not, you could not say.
”Then I saw something that happened some years later. Their village was attacked and the sisters hid in a cellar. Luna did… something to open a portal of some sort and-”
>The wet crunch and cut off scream.
“-and something terrible came through and killed a pony.”
>Your gut wrenched.
>You’d dragged her through her own portal into wherever the creature came from.
>And once there, she’d heard things you couldn’t.
>After which Nighmare Moon got there.
“Soon after, Nightmare Moon came knocking and… and Princess Celestia pulled me out and said all she can do is wake me up.”

>The jingle of chain and clops of shod hooves on stone heralded the return of Silver Spear.
>He strode into the break room with a frown on his face, but then noticed you back on your hooves.
>”Ah! You’re finally awake!”
>His frown turned into a grin.
>”How do you feel? Has Nimbus chewed you out yet for doing something that reckless?”
>You glanced at the pegasus – who, you noticed, had a hint of red on her cheeks.
“No. I’ve been telling her about what I saw and did. I think the Princess sent me back when Nightmare Moon tried to take me.”
>Silver’s horn lit up as he nodded.
>A cookie, the last one from the pack, floated to him.
>”Hm, I see. Or rather, I don’t. I really can’t make any sense of it.”
>He bit into the cookie with a crunch and chewed on it for a few seconds.
>”I checked out everything in her quarters. There’s nothing there. Nothing weird, that is. It’s just the way it’s supposed to be.”
>Night cast him a glance full of blame for taking the last one as he popped the last piece of the last cookie in his mouth.
>”If you’re feeling okay-”
>He pointed a hoof at you.
>”-I think we should go take a look at the other two spots. How about it?”

[] Throne room
[] Kitchen
[] Something Else, what?

Nobody asked, but I'm back anyways. I fucked up the last choice pretty bad and nobody knew what to do. I'll try to do better from now on.
>>
>>43054213
Well this is new and I'm don't know anything about this story.
I want what's in the kitchen.
>>
>>43054213
Throne room
>>
>>43054213
Throne room, as it sounds much more interesting than the other option.

>Nobody asked, but I'm back anyways
I never ask about updates because I don't want to put writefags under pressure. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate your work or that I'm not interested in the story.

>>43053686

>>43052368
>Be Anon, as you do.
>Nightmare Moon has stopped talking.
>Which is really bad as that was the main way you could keep track of her.
>Villains usually can't help but yak their head off.
>Carefully slink through the walls by flying.
>Same walls start to stretch farther, and shadows twist unnaturally.
>Crap, she's going Freddy Krueger on you.
>Not even sleeping rules.
>"Little colt. Little Anon."
>A sing songy voice huh.
>"Oh yes. My melody will put you to a deep slumber."
>And reads your mind, full of interesting tricks.
>Got you on my mind.
>"Is that the only thing? Why do you run yourself ragged through these empty halls?"
>Not much choice, you did kidnap me.
>Oddly enough, you think the room you're in has turned upside down.
>Funky.
>"Little colt, what else is on your mind? Do you think of your mother?"
>All the time.
>Opening the door leads you to a cloud room.
>Your room.
>With an eyeless version of you sitting on the bed.
>Yeah, not going in there.
>Watch as you close the door as you sit on the bed.
>Oh, you've switched places with the 'fake'.
>Kind of sums up how you feel.
>"Fake?"
>You have no idea lady.
>Shouldn't be here.
>Never was here.
>Wait, why are you spilling this to her?
>"The mind is a treasure box, just need to twist the key."
>You're not going to catch me this way.
>"I won't have to."
>Sit on your bed and look at the book you are now reading.
>Moving pictures of moments with Rainbow Dash.
>Is it gif or jifs?
>"What?"
>Sorry, never mind.
>Proceed perving on my mind.
>"Interesting, you don't think you're worthy of your mother's legacy."
>Worthy?
>You pretty much ruined her chance at making a legacy.
>World class athlete.
>Ruined because you were born.
>There's an entire life Rainbow Dash has.
>Then you came along.
>Never should have happened.
>"These are some dark thoughts young colt."
>You tried to be out of her life as much as possible.
>Let her try to recover any chance to regain what's lost.
>Suicide wasn't used because you're pretty sure that would devastate her to a degree she could never recover from.
>It was tempting though.
>"A-are you serious!?"
>Hey, you wanted to surf my brain.
>This stuff is unfiltered.
>"Colt, I have traveled many minds. This isn't normal."
>It is what it is.
>Still a chance that Dash died because she tried to rescue you.
>The ultimate millstone of your failure.
>All because you were born.
>You're quiet right now.
>"I have nothing else to say. For I've already found you."
>Look up at the imposing figure of Nightmare Moon.
"Well now. Aren't you impressive, but I know you haven't actually found me. You can't move and use that dream spell."
>Her jaws open wider than the room.
>So you take out a dream copy of Pinkie's cannon.
>---
>Be Nightmare Moon, really unhappy right now.
>Not only is a child giving you a run about.
>He's a suicidal mental mess.
>The worst combinations to deal with right now.
>Cut your losses?
>Find the Elements.

>>43055058
>NMM enters Anon's mind
>Anon's mind is not a nice place to be
oh yeah
>>
>>43055058
>NMM Entered Anon's mindscape of her own accord.
>The filter cannot be turned on at all.
Welcome to the ricefields Lunie..
>>
>>43055058
>>
>>43055058
This continues to be absolutely stellar, Anon.
>>
>>43055058
>NMM metaphorically drowns in Anon's mental spaghetti
This is delicious.
>>
I'd like to think that both NMM and Anon are unfiltered autistic goofs. Just that NMM didn't expect Anon at all while he had all the time to prepare for her. Not really fair, but you can't fight fair here.
>>
Has anyone seen the fluttershy's brother story?
>>
>>43056430
i've read it yeah, what about it
>>
>>43056430
Yeah I liked it.
>>
>>43055058
>Be Rainbow Dash, this journey to the castle has been a real hassle.
>You've finished the protein energy drinks a while ago.
>Almost got brain freeze from that.
>Trying your best to not snap and take the violent option for everything the herd encounters.
>At least your surrounded by cooler minds.
"A chasm with a broken bridge huh."
>Applejack gives you small nudge.
>"Shouldn't be a problem."
"Given everything that has happened tonight, I'm sure something is waiting for me on the other side."
>Twilight nods warily.
>"Be quick. Watch out for ambushes."
>Without a word, your wings stretch wide and you jet across.
>The other side is quiet and misty.
>Quickly look to tie the rope to make this rickety bridge more stable.
>Something rustles behind you.
>"Mom?"
>Buck.
>Turn around, try to shore up any courage.
>Yup, that's Anon.
>Looks just like him.
"Squirt! What are you doing out here?"
>"I was able to get away mom."
>He runs up to you, only to get snatched by a pegasus.
>Flare up your wings again and go to intercept.
>Another stallion pegasus blocks your path, then blocks your punch.
>"Nu, uh, uh, none of that now."
>The mare and stallion are dressed in spookier uniforms of the Wonderbolts.
"I want my child back, what do you want?"
>Your growl doesn't even make them flinch.
>"A promise. Your word."
>The mare holding Anon answers.
>"Our queen wanted to ask your son a few questions, that is all."
>The stallion is still putting himself between you and the hostage situation.
>"We're willing to return your son. Unharmed, as you can see."
>"If you take your son, and go home."
>There's always a catch.
"Ok, I'll fix this bridge and I'll take him home."
>"No!"
>Both of them shout.
>Anon looks spooked.
>"We wish to be left alone. Your night will be more peaceful if you take your son, and go home. That's all we want."
>Look at Anon as he pleads silently to you.
>The mare holds on to him tightly.
>"Come on now, shouldn't be too hard of a decision for a mother. You wouldn't abandon your son?"
>"Mom please. It's been a long night. I want to go home."
>Shore up your strength.
>Then turn around.
>"What!?"
>"I have your son in a headlock! What is wrong with you?"
>"Mom! Wait!"
>Buck.
>It isn't fair.
"You all are real cunts pulling this stunt."
>They remain silent.
"My son doesn't call me mom."
>Go to start to tie the rope for the bridge.
>"I-I'm just scare mom! Dash, please. They're going to hurt me."
>Something inside you is screaming.
>So you let that fury flow.
"You bucking flyholes can go crawl back to your 'queen' and tell her I'm coming to kick her flank so hard it's going to look like the ugly side of the moon."
>They all flinch back, then scour.
>"Fine. We'll be waiting."
>Going your separate ways, the bridge is fixed.
>The girls shout out when they see you.
"Hey y'all."
>"Dash what happened?"
"Nothing. Just, a small thing."
>Fluttershy is already hugging you.
>"Did they?"
"Don't worry about it. I'm with you girls. Let's end this night."
>>
>>43056868
Oof. Luna is in for it now.
>>
>>43056868
>"My son doesn't call me mom."
fuck
>>
>>43057242
I can only imagine the stunned look on Nightmare's face as she hears that.

I got distracted with gay things like work and writing a horror story, what was the last pony thing I was doing
>>
>>43057582
>writing a horror story
So you wrote the script for the next impending MLP movie?
>>
>>43057793
Anon I'm not that cruel, my horror story is about england being drowned with endless rain

Yikes frightening image of Nightmare Moon menacing over filly Luna like a predator cornering; it's prey and ready to deal the killing blow which she did in front of Kirin Anon making luna blood splatter all over him. Surprised that Princess Celestia manage to get us out of there, at least she helped us gain more time to find a way to wake her up from her coma hah bet Nightmare Moon is mad about that and frantic to get us back immediately. So everything in the sun princess quarters are back to normal after our intervention this means we're on the right track here.

Time is of the essence the dark princess won't be stall for long let's head to the Throne Room see what we'll find, check what we can do, and see if Princess Celestia is there right now.
>>
>>43057582
I love your art, Jayva!
>>
>>43058470
Thank you
>>
>>43057582
ngl I thought you abandoned us, Just like all the writefags.
>>
>>43056868
>What a terrible night to foalsit, 'tis a curse.
>Also be Nightmare Moon
>Breaking away from chasing down the colt.
>Need to find the Elements of Harmony before they're used against you.
>"So what's the plan here? Hide them away and hope you don't have to use them?"
>You think he's in the ceiling, or perhaps the floor below you.
"As long as I control them, then they won't be an issue to undermine me."
>"Of course, as long as nothing worse than you doesn't show up and murder you on your throne."
>He's taunting you, don't fall for it.
>"Like what's the plan when Discord rolls into town? It's going to happen. You changing the status quo is going to cause enough chaos to break him out."
>The room with the alter is empty.
>On the pedestal where the elements were is just stone spheres.
>Placeholders.
>They weren't in Canterlot, Celestia said she couldn't use them.
>"Then you got Sombra, or maybe Tirek. That's the threats you're familiar with."
"Maybe I'll execute them both."
>"Or you'll become Sombra's favorite mind slave, or Tirek's magic snack. Starswirl was also pretty bad at leaving a mess behind. What's the plan here?"
>With a glance, you see your minions creep around the windows.
>A subtle hint, you direct them to catch the child.
"I won't be passive like Celestia is. After all, she let me return. Foalish on all levels."
>"By upending the entire country. There are tyrants that would love to raid Equestria to make pony slaves. Which you won't be able to stop because you don't have an army that serves you. You're going to bring ruin."
>That does it.
>Charge your horn and whip it around the room.
>It cuts the room half and the entire castle shifts.
>Probably told everypony where you are now, but you don't care.
>That's when your shadowbolts strike.
>Anon is squirming in a narrow crawlspace, trying to move to a safer spot.
>He dodges a swoop from your minions, but it leaves him open.
>Grab him with your magic and jerk him to you.
"Self-righteous brat. What right do you have to judge me?"
>"Murdering my mom for one."
>A shadowbolt lands next to you.
>"The colt's mother is alive."
"Well then. For all your bravado, you're still a colt with an inflated ego. Your mother made her decision. Self-deprecation is it's own elevated sense of self. Much like my sister, you think the world revolves around you."
>Anon struggles in your magic.
>"So why did you kidnap me again? Oh right, because you wanted me to satisfy your ego."
"I am the Mare of Night! The moon and stars drap the skies under my authority. I don't need a foal to elevate me."
>Your ears twitch, and can hear the ponies approaching.
"Well, it's time to make good use of you."
>Anon gulps loudly.
"The darkness you hold inside you will make a perfect obstacle for these ponies. I grant you my power, just a small amount."
>Six ponies enter just in time to witness your power.
>Power flows out, then something grabs you.
>Something in the colt pulls in your darkness.
>"Power. Perfect."

Don't remember where I left off, so let's start where everything falls apart.
>The leader of the squad looks Derpy over and shakes his head in confusion.
>"But your highness, this mare looks like she can barely stand on her own four hooves, let alone pose a threat to the crown!"
>"Looks can be deceiving, Commander Double Think." Twilight calmly responds.
>"Even so-"
>"I will explain the terms of Derpy's treachery in full at her formal hearing."
>Commander Double Think sighs in defeat and commands his troops form a perimeter.
>Two guards restrain you while two other guards work to rip Derpy from the safety of your embrace.
>"W-Wait! There must be a mistake, Princess!" She cries out.
>Derpy struggles to escape, but their grip is far too strong.
>"There is indeed a mistake, Derpy." Twilight replies. "And now I seek to correct it."
>The guards drag her into the front yard where an ironclad carriage sits among the tall grass.
>"Anooooooon!"
>Derpy squeals and squirms as the guards force her into the prison carriage.
>No...it can't end like this!
>You break free from your captors and charge onto the front lawn, fully prepared for a fight with Twilight's royal goons.
>*BWOOP*
>The purple menace bungles your heroic plan with a thick magic barrier.
>"Mind that temper of yours, Anon." She sneers.
>Twilight turns and throws you towards your windmill.
>"It would be unwise to arouse my wrath, lest Derpy's punishment become a public execution."
>Your body crumples against the sturdy stone wall, leaving you gasping for breath.
>Derpy frantically bangs on the bars and stares at you.
>"Anon please, make this scary nightmare go away!" She pleads through tear-stained eyes.
"D-Don't worry Derpy, I'll save you some....how...." Your voice trails off.
>You struggle to your hooves but are quickly knocked back down by the remaining guards.
>"Please do not meddle in the Queen's royal affairs any further, citizen."
>Commander Double Think redirects his squad to escort the prison carriage, which is now moving towards Canterlot.
>"ANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....!"
>The last thing you remember is hearing Derpy's cries of agony slowly fade as the carriage disappears beyond the horizon.
>>
>>43060705
>"A....no.......n....."
>Your ears perk up at the sound of a feminine voice calling out from the darkness.
>"Wh...dn't...u...?"
>It's hard to make out the words, but it sounds like she's coming closer.
>The shadows gradually part, revealing a familiar yellow mane moving towards you.
"Derpy?"
>You rub your eyes and smile.
>It's a relief that she's finally returned home.
>Perhaps the Queen had a change of heart-
>"ANoNnNnNnnnn..."
>Your joy turns to horror as a rotting skeleton wearing Derpy's mane and tail emerges from the void.
"D-Derpy?!" Your eyes widen in shock.
>"WhY ANoN?!?!?" She wails in agony.
>The undead horse whinnies angrily and stomps her hoof.
>"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE MEEEEEEEEIGH?!"
>You try to respond, but your jaw suddenly rots and falls to the ground.
>The monster leaps at you with surprising speed and everything turns black.
>You scream and bolt upright, frantically searching for the monster before it can finish its attack.
>However, all you see is a living room full of bright sunlight.
>Oh thank Celestia, it was just a nightmare!
>The sounds of a hungry stomach send you scrambling towards the kitchen.
>You could use a good meal after having a horrible night like that.
"Mornin' babe, you won't believe the crazy dream I-"
>The words die in your throat after seeing the kitchen sitting empty and lifeless.
>Oh no, yesterday wasn't a dream after all...
>You smack your head on the countertop and fight back a sniffle.
>Life without Derpy is not a life worth living.
>You neigh in frustration and gallop towards the front door.
>Smart stallions would formulate some kind of plan before heading out to rescue their special somepony.
>Unfortunately, you are not a smart stallion.
>Hopefully there's still time to save her, unless...
>You shake the horrible thought from your mind and pull the door open with a shaking hoof.
>Wait a minute, why is the door suddenly fixed?
>You're pretty sure it was laying in the middle of the living room just yesterday.
>>
>>43060708
>There will be time to worry about the stupid door later.
>Right now there is something far more important to worry about: Derpy.
>You take a deep breath and charge into the outside world.
>"Ouch!"
>Scratch that, you charge right into somepony.
"Oh bits I'm sorry!"
>You help the pony up and gasp at the sight of her hot pink coat.
"Cherry Berry! What are you doing here?!"
>The pink mare groans and rubs her head.
>She drops a hammer from her mouth, which lands on the cobblestone porch with a loud clang.
>You also see an open box of nails resting near the hammer.
>It doesn't take long for you to figure out what's going on now.
"Did you fix my door, Cherry?" You cock your head.
>"W-Well, I saw that it was broken and um-"
>Cherry Berry blushes and stares at the ground.
>You're honestly shocked that anypony would be willing to do something nice for you after what happened yesterday.
>After all, who in their right mind would want anything to do with an enemy of the state?
>You interrupt the mare's explanation with a strong hug.
"Thank you Cherry."
>She's reluctant at first, but eventually succumbs with a small mewl.
>Well, that's certainly an unexpected sound to hear from Cherry.
>Is it getting hot out here or is it just you?
>You abruptly end the embrace and focus on something less awkward, like your inevitable confrontation with Twilight.
>Cherry Berry trembles in the aftermath of the hug.
>You take this opportunity to head inside the house and pack a few things that may come in handy.
>"Wait Anon!" Cherry quickly moves to block you. "What about today's deliveries?"
>Who the buck can think of work at a time like this?!
"The deliveries can wait, Cherry Berry-"
>You shake your head and push her to the side.
"-at least until Derpy is safe in my hooves again."
>"I see. Good luck, Anon." Cherry Berry says with a quick wave.
"Thanks, I'll need it." You confess.
>"Derpy is one lucky mare." Cherry Berry swoons.
>>
>>43060711
>She's wrong, YOU'RE the lucky one to have such a kind and loving special somepony like Derpy.
>You stretch your wings and leap into the air, filled with a newfound determination to save the mare who changed your life.
>It's not long before your erratic flight patterns catch the attention of a few royal guards.
>"Halt, citizen!"
>You are suddenly surrounded by a trio of tough-looking Pegasus guards.
>"You are flying in restricted airspace!"
>Restricted airspace? What's this fool talking about?
>This is Ponyville, not a secret villain's headquarters!
"Sorry dude but I have somewhere to be, and the fastest way there is flying."
>You smile and pull a quick barrel roll to break through their ranks.
>The captain, quick as lightning, moves to intercept with a hoof aimed right at your gut.
"Oof!"
>The world slowly fades to black as you fall from the sky.
>"To the dungeon with this insolent whelp!" The leader snarls.
>...
>"An......n......!"
>Oh great, somepony is mysteriously calling to you from the shadows again.
>"ny...mo....s..."
>Your eyes slowly open, revealing a...dank prison cell?!
>So much for the amazing rescue that would've cemented your place in Derpy's heart forever.
>You facehoof and sigh in defeat, struggling to hold back tears.
>This isn't how things were supposed to happen.
>Now Derpy has to suffer in this rathole even longer.
>Unfortunately, there isn't a single backup plan that comes to mind.
>You slump against the nearby wall, unable to concentrate on anything except your marefriend.
>What kind of stallion fails to protect the one he loves the most?!
>Maybe you're not the knight in shining armor she deserves...
>>
>>43060727
>"Anonymous!"
>Sounds like the mysterious voice isn't an illusion after all.
>You spot a figure standing near the rusted iron bars and quickly spring to your hooves.
>The blurry mass slowly comes into focus until it hits you like a freight train.
"P-Princess...Cadence?!"
>Your eyes widen in shock as the pink alicorn smiles and nods before you.
>"At your service."
>The sounds of an approaching guard in the distance ends her royal pleasantries.
>Princess Cadence wastes no time shattering the lock with a burst of magic.
>"Please come with me, quickly!" She beckons to you with a flailing hoof.
>The princess flaps her wings and glides through the corridor with a regal grace that has your jaw drop.
>"The dreaded time draws near!"
>You stumble into the air and try to keep up, but her speed effortlessly outclasses your own.
"Time? The time for what, your majesty?!" You ask.
>She turns her head and gives you a disturbingly solemn look.
>"Derpy's execution." She grimly replies.
>Your ears struggles to process Cadence's words.
>Twilight's crazy ass is trying to murder Derpy?!?
>The two of you continue down the musty prison hall until it abruptly ends.
"Oh bits, it's a dead end!"
>Nothing stops a last minute rescue faster than solid concrete.
>Ugh, if only you were a unicorn...
>Cadence's ears droop before springing upwards in a confusing change of face.
>"Oh, what am I doing?!"
>Cadence stops midflight and quickly casts a spell.
>*POOF*
>Suddenly a blinding pink light engulfs the entire room.
>>
>>43060730
>The light gradually fades, revealing the exact jail corridor staring back at you.
"No offense your highness, but it doesn't look like your spell worked."
>"This isn't your cell block, Anonymous." Cadence reassures you.
>You stare down the musty green hallway in confusion.
"It all looks the same though." You shrug.
>Cadence shakes her head and stops to explain.
>"These dungeon corridors were designed to look similar, mainly to confuse and disorient escaped prisoners."
"Oh."
>Cadence stops to look inside the nearby cell.
>"Empty."
>She sighs in frustration and moves to the next cell before you can even blink.
"W-Wait Princess!"
>You fly after the skittish alicorn to try and find out what she's planning.
>The passing cells hold all manner of horsefol.
>Some look bitter and angry.
>Some look scarred and broken.
>Some look like they have no idea why they're even here.
>Perhaps Derpy wasn't the first innocent pony to be imprisoned by purple bitch.
>"Anon, come quickly!"
>Cadence's panicked voice sends you scrambling to the other side of the cell block.
>You begin to ask her what's wrong but stop yourself short as she points to the prisoner slumped in a corner.
>The poor pony is weeping softly with wings wrapped around her face.
>Her dull gray coat shivers and trembles with every breath.
>There's something very about this mare.
"DERPY?!"
>You smoosh your face against the bars, desperate to get a closer look at your lover.
>Derpy's ear flicks at the sound of your voice.
>>
>>43060734
>A-Anon?"
>The mare raises her head and looks all around the cell.
>Wait, something's not right.
>Her eyes are glowing a solid yellow hue, almost as though she's hypnotized or something.
"Derpy, it's me!"
>You wave your hoof to draw her attention, but she doesn't seem to see you.
"Anooooooooon!" She shrieks. "Why?!"
>Deja vu is practically beating you over the head right now.
>"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIGH?!"
>Your eyes practically bulge out of their sockets.
>Why on Celestia's green earth is Derpy saying the same things heard in your nightmare?!
>Is this another cruel dream designed to tear at your heart?!
>Perhaps the original nightmare never ended.
>You begin gnawing on your hoof until it starts bleeding.
>Is there no escape from this-
>"Anon!"
>Cadence gently nudges your shoulder, snapping you out of the flurry of frightening thoughts.
>She spots your injury and quickly heals it with a burst of magic.
>"Are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost!"
>You slowly turn to face the panicked alicorn.
"C-Cadence...." You struggle to talk through chattering teeth. "W-What's happened to Derpy?!"
>She takes one look at your marefriend and falls silent.
>You face the troubled princess, eager to hear SOME kind of explanation, but she does not speak.
>Derpy's sobbing and the clinking of iron bars in the distance are all that answer you in return.
>>
>>43060735
>Cadence takes a deep breath, shattering the silence that hovers around you like a thick fog.
>"Anon, there's only one way to save Derpy-"
>*CLANG*
>She tears the cell door from its hinges and throws it against the opposite wall.
>"-but there isn't much time."
>You look at the pink princess in pure stupefied horror.
"Cadence! Why the buck did you do that?!" You shriek. "The guards will know we're here!"
>Cadence shakes her head and bites her lower lip.
>"They already know." She replies in a stoic tone.
>You feel your right eye twitching.
>She's speaking in riddles at a time like this?!
>You begin to ask a gorillian questions at once but Cadence swiftly silences you with a hoof.
>"There's no time to explain!" She shout whispers. "We need to rescue Derpy and leave before-"
>*CRAAAAAAAAAASH*
>The two of you are sent hurtling into the open cell by a big explosion.
>"Oof?!"
"WHA-?!"
>You shake your head and try to silence the loud buzzing sound that seems to be coming from everywhere.
>"Anon, you are so very predictable."
>Queen Twilight emerges from the settling dust cloud, a smug grin plastered across her face.
"Twilight?! What are you doing here?!" You shout in disbelief.
>Cadence turns to you and sighs.
>"I told you they already-MMPH?!"
>Twilight silences Cadence with a blob of magic that engulfs her entire head.
>The purple psycho casually trots past her former foalsitter and stands before you.
>"It was very foolish of you to throw your life away-"
>Twilight turns to Derpy and snarls, her eyes alight with flames of pure hate.
>"-just to rescue this piece of trash!"
>She bucks your marefiend in the face good and hard.
>>
>>43060738
>Derpy utters a pained neigh and flattens her back against the wall.
>"Wha-What's happening?!" She cries out.
"LEAVE DERPY ALONE YOU EVIL WITCH!"
>Twilight's ears droop at the sound of your harsh yelling, a rare display of weakness for this sociopathic pony.
>Several guards gasp and form a perimeter around their deranged ruler.
>"Hold thy tongue, thou miserable green wretch." Their leader growls.
>Oh great, now she's making them speak in 'Ye Olde Englishe'.
>You hold Derpy's shivering body in your forehooves and gently nuzzle her.
"C'mon Derpy, snap out of it!" You quietly shout.
>Derpy's head rolls back and forth, but she's still out of it.
>You playfully bite her neck for good measure, earning a small moan from the frazzled pegasus.
>If THAT doesn't wake her up, then nothing ever will.
>"A-Anon?!" Derpy gasps. "Is it really you?"
>She places a shaking hoof on your face.
>The cursed yellow glow dissipates, revealing the beautiful derped eyes you know and love.
"Yes babe, it's me."
>You hold her close and snuggle into her messy mane.
"I'm sorry Derpy." You bite your lip. "I should've been your knight in shining armor."
>Derpy mewls and buries her face in your chest.
>"Anonymous, none of this even would be happening right now if you had just ACCEPTED MY OFFER!"
>Twilight tears Derpy from your embrace and throws her across the cell.
>"And I would very much appreciate it...if you would STOP feeding her love..."
>Twilight gradually loses her composure.
>"...Love that is RIGHTFULLY MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!"
>She emits a shockwave that sends you flying into the opposite wall.
>Damnit, fighting Twilight head-on is nothing short of suicide.
>If only you were a unicorn...
>>
>>43060739
>"You could've had it all, Anonymous."
>Twilight shakes her head and sighs with an exaggerated tone.
>"Riches, royal luxuries, a loving queen, and more foals than you could count."
>She grabs you by the neck with her magic and hoists you into the air.
>You gasp for breath and struggle to escape, but Twilight's magic is far too powerful.
>"Instead, you chose an early grave." She sneers.
>"A-Anon?!" Derpy squeaks. "What's going on?! Why is the princess angry?!"
>Twilight glares at Derpy and grabs her in a separate blob of magic.
>"Perhaps there's enough time for one final experiment before your execution."
>Her eyes and horn glow a bright green hue.
>Something tells you this is going to hurt. A LOT.
>It's time to spring into action with some last-second heroics and-
"AAIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!"
>You scream like a weenie and twist yourself free from Twilight's magic.
>Thankfully you manage to shove Derpy out of harm's way with seconds to spare.
>*ZAP*
>You hurtle to the ground face-first with a crippled wing.
>Derpy yelps as her big bubble butt makes contact with the hard stone flooring.
>The floor next to you melts into a pool of what appears to be magical...acid?
>Oh no, that can only mean one thing...
"Ch-Changeling magic?!" You sputter. "How did you learn changeling magic?!"
>Twilight chuckles like a serial killer and re-aims her horn.
>"Let's just say our diplomatic relations with the changeling kingdom...went up in smoke."
>Her lip curls as she prepares to fire another blast of green magic.
>"Fear not, for the late queen's magic shall not go to waste."
>The pain from your broken wing says there's no chance in tartarus that you'll be able to dodge this attack.
>Derpy whimpers beside you, seemingly aware of your impending doom.
>You hold the frightened mare close and nuzzle her one last time.
"No matter what happens Derpy, I want you to know something."
>"W-What's that, Anon?" She asks.
"I love you, with all my heart."
>>
>>43060743
>"Oh Anooooooooon~!"
>You lean down and smooch Derpy with a passion you've never felt before.
>Maybe it's because you're about to die, but there's no use worrying about that now.
>Derpy immediately reciprocates your affections as usual, not that you're complaining.
>This mare sure knows how to make a stallion feel loved.
>"ACK!"
>Twilight audibly gags at your passionate display and tries to focus on her spell.
>"If you two would please stop sucking face, then maybe we could get on with this execution!" She shouts.
>Suddenly the two of you are consumed by a radiant pink hue.
"Mmph?!"
>It's hard to properly express surprise with Derpy's tongue in your mouth.
>Twilight fires her death beam right at your face.
>Figures.
>You close your eyes and prepare for the sweet embrace of death.
>Perhaps you and Derpy can get married in the next life-
>*BWOOP*
>Hmm, that's a strange sound to hear when one is dead.
>You slowly open your eyes and gasp.
>Then Derpy gasps.
>Then Twilight gasps.
>Then the guards gasp.
>Then the nearby prisoners gasp through conveniently-placed holes in their cell walls.
>This is like something out of an anime you liked to watch.
>The one with the guys that liked to shout at each other and power up for half the damn episode.
>There stands Princess Cadence, her head freed from Twilight's magical muzzle.
>"Clever filly."
>Twilight quickly regains her composure and slowly clops her forehooves together.
>"Using my own magic to neutralize itself was an ingenious strategy."
>Her horn lights up with an even greater charge of bring green magic.
>"Let's see if you can do that AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!" Twilight roars with confidence.
>Cadence steadies her shaking body and emits a massive shockwave of magic.
>>
>>43060751
>The entire room around you seems to slow with every passing second until freezing in place completely.
>Even Twilight doesn't budge an inch from her place in the strange pink bubble of magic.
>Unfortunately she still had time to fire one last blast, which is now hovering inches from your stupid face.
>Cadence collapses to the ground and gasps for air.
"Princess!" You yell.
>"Princess!" Derpy yells.
>You both rush to Cadence's side and try helping the battered alicorn to her hooves.
>"Forget about me!"
>She shoves you away and lights up her horn.
>"My immobilization spell won't hold *cough* for much l-longer!"
>You look around and see the bubble is already beginning to thin.
>Twilight and her guards slowly twitch their faces and limbs, eager to free themselves from the bubbly prison.
>You exchange panicked glances with Derpy.
"W-What do we do now, your highness?" You nervously ask.
>Derpy clings to you for dear life as though she might lose you again.
"P-Please Princess!" Derpy pleads. "Help us get away from Queen Twilight!"
>Cadence nods and inhales the pink aura from you and Derpy.
>"This is just enough *ugh* love for one final *cough* spell." She groans.
>The two of you watch in awe as Cadence tears through the fabric of reality to summon a small portal.
>You see a sunny meadow glistening on the other side.
>"Now go, my little ponies."
>You hesitate, knowing damn well that leaving her behind is NOT an option.
>She's already done so much for you and Derpy.
"Princess, please come with-OOF!"
>With the last of her strength, Princess Cadence shoves you through the portal.
>Derpy comes tumbling right after you and lands in the soft green grass.
>"NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
>Twilight screams and fires a huge magical sunburst directly at you, but Cadence quickly blocks the portal with her own body.
>"May the power of...l-love guide you...always..."
>Cadence's bloodied face manages one last smile before she seals the portal.
>Silence falls upon the sunny meadow like a heavy blanket.
>You sit there in shocked silence, desperately trying to understand what the buck just happened.
>Derpy scrambles to your side and whimpers.
>"Is..I-Is Cadey going to be okay?" She asks.
>You wrap your hooves around the trembling mare and nuzzle her neck.
>If only there was a definitive answer to that question.
"I-I'm sure she'll be fine." You lie.
>>
>>43060755
>You pick up your charred saddlebag and prepare to go somewhere far away from this tartarushole.
"Hey Derpy, we should-"
>You stop yourself short after seeing Derpy sitting contently by the river's edge.
>Her face is unreadable with eyes fixated on at the setting sun.
>You can only imagine what's running through that naive mind of hers.
>Derpy's blonde mane flows freely in the warm spring breeze.
>This scene reminds you of happier times, like Hearts and Hoo-wait, is she crying?!
>Perhaps a small reprieve isn't the worse idea in the world.
>You sit beside Derpy and watch as the lingering sunlight is slowly overtaken by the shadows of night.
>This tranquility would be a lot more enjoyable if you weren't fugitives on the run.
>"Isn't it beautiful, Anon?"
>The mare's gentle voice pulls you from your thoughts.
"Yep."
>You scoot towards Derpy and gently dry her tears.
"You okay, babe?"
>She sniffles and places her hoof over yours.
>"Nooooo-"
>Derpy breaks down crying and clings to you for dear life.
>You instinctively wrap your wings around her and unleash tears of your own.
>So much has happened in such a short amount of time.
>Twilight becomes a mad tyrant and tries to force you into a one-sided marriage.
>Derpy is almost publicly executed despite DOING NOTHING WRONG.
>Then Princess Cadence, bless her soul, comes out of nowhere and sacrifices herself to help you two escape.
>What's worse is that Twilight will no doubt continue hunting you to the ends of the earth.
"A-Anoooooooon~!" Derpy cries out.
>Your eyes widen in a panic.
"Yes Derpy, *sniffle* I'm here."
>You reassure her with a barrage of tender nuzzles and headpats.
>Derpy mewls with need and buries her face into your chest, trying as hard as she can to calm herself.
>She feels warm to the touch, perhaps a bit TOO warm.
>You try to think of something to say, anything at all, that could comfort her in this delicate moment.
>Ultimately you decide to remain silent and continue the heartfelt snugglefest.
>The last thing she needs is to hear bungled words that send the wrong message.
>You silently watch as the moon rises over the moors.
>It's going to be a loooooooong night.

>You jolt awake and turn off your alarm
>Looks like you forgot to turn it off entirely last night and it woke you right at the most pivotal part of your dream
>Between being a recurring character in your dreams and seeing it during that dizzy spell back in the mines yesterday, there has to be some sort of connection
>You thought it was that Twilight Sparkle character, but you really don’t have any other frame of reference
>There were other princesses here, right?
>At any rate, you’re wide awake now with no hope of falling back asleep to find out
>Time to seize the day, you suppose
>But what to do…?
>Explore the town?
>A good idea as any, its not like you’ve had much time to do that since you got here
>Should you try and track Rarity down and tell her about your dream?
>Nah, you don’t want to really think about work right now
>You already worked an extra day yesterday
>You take a step outside your door and start wandering
>Where to? Wherever the day takes you
>As you walk around, you try to keep a mental note of where places are
>You already have a good mental map between yours and Rarity’s place, so why not try another direction
>You decide to start walking toward that crystalline eyesore of a castle
>A shame there isn’t a map of Ponyville or something

>Oh right, magic
>You haven't tried to lift a moving object, let alone while galloping full tilt
>Guess there's no time like the present
>It's headed straight for a flower shop at the end of the street
>You concentrate around where the wheel is going
>You feel a snag
>Feels like your horn is grabbing an invisible lasso and pulling back
>Almost like a muscle
>Your "grip" on the wheel starts to waver as it's momentum slows down
>You're losing 'er
>You concentrate more, "holding on" for dear life
>Now it's pulling you along as you try to stop it
>The wheel slows down a lot more now but could still do some damage
>You try "pulling back" like your horn is a fishing rod, lifting the wheel off the ground
>The momentum flings the wheel straight into the air as you fall flat on your back
>You're too exerted from running and magicking to move
>Which is bad news because the wheel you launched is coming back down in your general direction
>You close your eyes and brace for impact
>WHAM!
>>
>>43061894

>You expected to feel pain, but nothing.
>You didn't even feel the impact
>You cautiously open your eyes and turn your head to see the wheel landed mere inches away from you
>Bullet dodged, that could have been nasty
>On closer inspection, it definitely looks like the spare tire from your dream
>You stare at it for a good long moment, still too winded to move and too tired to fully process what's in front of you
>That southern voice brings you back to reality
>"Land's sakes, I've never seen anypony keep pace like that! Y'alright there, mister?"
>You are not alright, but you'll manage
>The world is still spinning, but you can make out two blurry figures standing over you
>Orange and pink
>The orange one extends a hoof to get you back on all fours
>As the world comes back into focus, you realize those blurs are ponies
>The orange one helps you back on your hooves. "That was some fine wrangling you did there! I have no clue how you were able to keep up with that wheel."
"Barely," you wheeze. "Definitely barely."
>The orange one introduces herself as Applejack
>You recognize the pink one from when you were getting shampoo earlier this week
>Pinkie Pie
>At least now you have a name to the mare
>"We're mighty grateful you grabbed that wheel that fell off my cart. I musta hit a bump or somethin!"
>Wait, cart wheel?
>You look at what you thought was a tire from the car in your dream
>Nope, just a wooden wheel now
>What the hell?
>Best to keep that to yourself for now.
>You walk with Applejack and Pinkie
>Turns out they were bringing supplies to the castle
>Which you now know for sure belongs to this Twilight character
>So at least you're all headed that way
>You learn they're all good friends along with Rarity and a couple others
>Pinkie is doing a great job info dumping without you having to show how much you don't know about this place
>"While Twilight's still in Canterlot catching up with her friends she toootaly didn't forget about when she moved here, she asked us to set up the guest wing for a secret urgent visit from Pr--"
>Applejack interjected. "Uhh Pinkie? Didja forget the 'secret' part there?"
>"WHOOOOPS I shouldn't have said that!!! Anyway we don't even know why she's coming, Twilight only said it was something about--"
>"PINKIE."
>She slaps her mouth shut. "Sorry!" she muffles
>>
>>43061968
>Applejack sighs. "Look Anon, it's a pleasure to meet you, and thanks again for that save with the wheel, but we should probably get goin' before SHE blabs to the whole town."
>She grabs a bottle from the cart, "But here's somethin' for your trouble! Apple family cider, the good stuff. Think of it as a 'Welcome To Ponyville' gift--"
>"Ohhhhh my GOSH I forgot to throw you one of my Pinkie Pie Patented Welcome To Ponyville Parties!!!!!" Pinkie looks aghast.
>"I've been so busy getting things ready for--"
>"AHUM" AJ loudly clears her throat
>"Foooor that thing I can't tell you about, I TOTALLY didn't have time for yours!"
"Trust me Pinkie it's fine," you assure her. "I've been busy working and settling in anyway, we can figure it out later."
>Pinkie relents, "I guess you're ri--" She stops in her tracks.
>"Wait." She turns back toward you. "Something about you smells... Different."
>Her tail is pointing straight and twitching, like a hound dog's
>"Pine needles, fresh rain when it hasn't rained here in days..." She gets uncomfortably close to you. "...Some burning smell?"
>Is she somehow getting the smell of the mountain road in your dream???
>Even Applejack looks confused. "Pinkie I dunno how you can smell anythin' like that."
>Finally Pinkie steps back, confident she's figured it out "Huh, that soap you bought the other day smells REALLY weird!"
"Whuh--?"
She giggles. "You know, the 4-in-1 shampoo you got from the store when we first met? I got the 18-in-1 because you never know when you might need shampoo, mane conditioner, body soap, coat conditioner, motor oil, egg substitute, stain remover, dietary supplement, wiper fluid…"
>Applejack drags Pinkie away as she continues to list things off. "I'll take care of her, sugarcube. We really gotta go but don't be a stranger, y'hear?"
"Y--you too" is all you can get out, still a little confused that Pinkie might have some sort of dream scent sense...?


You're not gonna believe this, but I had a several months long writer's block just because I couldn't figure out how to introduce AJ and Ponk after I already planned it out. I still got a couple chapters in the chamber and hashing out more, but it should be a bit smoother now.

>Be Twilight Sparkle, and horrified.
>After all the crazy nonsense that has happened tonight, this tops it all.
>Nightmare Moon was standing over Anon Dash doing a weird magic spell.
>Then she screamed.
>What was once a simple flow of magic turned into a surge.
>You all can see Nightmare Moon wilt, her power stolen.
>Losing her colors and size.
>Anon on the other hoof, something terrifying is making the hair on your coat stand on end.
>"Power! For too long I've waited. I'll take this from you little Luna, it's far too much for you to handle."
>What was once a little colt was an inky blot of darkness pulsating in the room.
>The shadowbolts that were trying to help their mistress escape melt into slag.
>Nightmare Moon is screeching, crying for any kind of help.
>Then wicked glue like wings erupt from the pulsating ooze.
>Followed by a horn.
>A mockery of pony form molds itself from the dark magic.
>Black bolts strike out at an alter, evaporating the platform.
>"Excellent! No more Elements of Harmony. With this, I can avoid my downfall."
>It laughs, then looks straight at you.
>"Twilight Sparkle. Time to take care of you!"
>Twitch reaction is just enough to pull up a shield around you and the girls.
>Beastly blows start to pound on it, cracking your shield.
"What do we do!? What do we do!?"
>A beam of light slices through the tendrils.
>Like an answer to prayer, Princess Celestia descends from up high.
>Her eyes look at Nightmare Moon with panic.
>"Luna! What is this!?"
>Slamming down in front of you and the girls, Celestia takes a fighting stance.
>"Twilight, what has happened? The spell that was sealing me was broken, but this is beyond what I expected."
"I'm not sure Princess Celestia. A colt named Anon just sucked Nightmare Moon's magic and turned into that."
>Slamming a hoof down, the beast cackles.
>"Hello Celestia. It's been a while. Though you may not remember me. I am The Pony of Shadows. Now if I'm not mistaken, our dear Luna has just returned from the Moon. It's been a while since you talked with your sister, why don't you--"
>Luna goes catatonic, still standing up.
>"--catch up."
>Like strings on a puppet, Luna attacks the shield, breaking it.
>Celestia yells out to you before Luna tackles her.
>"Move, Twilight!"
"Girls! We need space to figure out what we can do."
>Look over to Dash, who is just dumbstruck.
>"My boy. What about my boy?"
>Tendrils slam into her, and pin her to the wall.
>Oh buck.
>Ducking one tendril meant for you, you start to gallop behind a pillar.
"Applejack, can you pull her down?"
>"I gosh darn try."
>Dash struggles against her bonds.
>All the while she's yelling.
>"Anon! Wake up! Anon!"
>---
"Where the hell am I?"
>Be Anon, in a black void.
>Pretty edgy, not going to lie.
>"Where you belong, Anon."
"Well that's a start. Who are you?"
>Don't see anything, but might as well scream into the void.
>"Am I really that unremarkable that you don't remember me?"
>"The Pony of Shadows?"
"Aw fuck."
>>
>>43061976
Your Pinkie is cute.
>>
>>43061999
gotta say that went in a direction that I was not expecting
>>
>>43061976
Ok, I'm in. I look forward to more.
>>
>>43061011
I don't know what I like more. Anon's Vietnam flashbacks face or the confusion of of Moonie and Celly.
>>
>>43061011
What duties does a 'World Alicorn' Anon have?
Is he responsible for tectonics?
>>
>>43062392
>Equestria has the first natural earthquake in 1000 years.
>The ponies are panicking thinking some villain is doing it
>>
>>43062392
Managing nature so the weather and growth of plants was under his domain which got taken over by pegasi and earth ponies when Anon was gone.
>>
>>43062392
You know how the ponies have to manually run weather, nature, and the seasons? That was all him.
>>
>>43062440
>>43062442
>was gone
d-did Celestia banish him to the Earth?
>>
>>43062452
I'd bet on a selfless sacrifice to protect his sisters.
>>
>>43062452
The story usually goes that the Earth Alicorn gets corrupted by Discord's magic infecting the earth, which poisons him as well due to his intense connection to it compared to Celestia and Luna's lesser ties to their own celestial bodies. He gets corrupted into a monster called The Beast that the Sisters use the Elements on - which "kills" him (separating his soul from his body, as the flesh is too far gone to be saved).

Greens usually have his body return, filled with an Anon to give his older sisters agony at seeing what looks and sounds like the baby brother, but inhabited by something that doesn't know or recognize them at all.
>>
>>43061574
Nope.
>Suddenly Derpy raises her head and looks deep into your eyes.
>"W-Why, Anon?" Derpy sobs. "Why is all this happening?!"
>Your heart sinks as she beings to hyperventilate.
>"W-Why did *hic* Cadey have to *sniffle*-"
>Oh dear Celestia, please give you strength.
>Your heart is being pushed to its limits.
>Say something you damn fool, for Derpy's sake!
>You take a deep breath and mentally run through all manner of words and phrases.
"Derpy, please listen closely."
>She uses a wing to wipe your tears and listens intently for whatever speech you have prepared.
"Thank you, b-babe."
>You blush and return the favor with your own wing.
>For good measure, you plant a quick kiss on her lips.
>She smiles and scooches backwards just enough to give you some breathing room.
"This madness all started when Twilight was playing around with some kind of time magic-"
>"Time magic?" Derpy innocently asks.
"Mhm. She began looking into other timelines, and found one where I became her husband."
>"Husband?! B-But, but I-"
>Derpy's sorrowful tone carries the faintest hint of jealousy.
>You lean over and playfully nibble her neck.
"Don't worry Derpy." You smile. "You're the only mare I plan on marrying in THIS timeline."
>"Oh my muffins~!" She blushes.
>How can one mare be so adorable and dorky at the same time?!
"Anyhoo, Twilight saw all the diplomatic (and romantic) good that came from our union, and tried to marry me so that timeline would become ours."
>You point to Derpy with a mischievous grin.
"Naturally I turned her down, because I already have a special somepony-"
>Your smile fades when the horror of Twilight's retaliation creeps back into your mind.
"-but Twilight *ahem* doesn't take rejection well."
>Derpy gasps and flutters her wings with anticipation.
"She saw our happiness, our LOVE, and tried to destroy it out of jealousy."
>"Then Princess Cadey saved us..." Derpy's voice trails off. "R-Right, Anon?"
>You nod.
>Derpy's ears perk up at the sound of hoofsteps approaching from the hillside.
>You can faintly hear them as well.
>They're coming closer and closer.
>It seems Twilight already found you.
>>
>>43062588
>"And then what happened, Daddy?" Lucky asks.
>You sigh and sit back in your chair, not quite sure how to respond.
>There's so many feelings swirling around inside you, it's hard to focus on one over the others.
>On the one hoof, you're married to the love of your life with more foals than you imagined.
>On the other hoof, Princess Cadence paid the ultimate price for it.
>Then there's the fact that Twilight became an unhinged tyrant who-
>"Daddy, are you okay?"
>Downspout flies over and places her tiny hooves upon yours.
>It's only then that you realize your hooves are shaking.
>Your other three foals quickly fly across the room.
>"Pwease don't be sad, Daddy."
>Your youngest daughter Stardust Skies squeaks and flies into your lap.
>"She's right Daddy, you don't have to be sad anymore!" Lucky exclaims as he lands near his sisters.
>Your second son practically throws himself into the foal pile and looks at you with his big green and yellow heterochromatic eyes.
>"We wuv you Daddeh!" The little colt reassures you.
>You sniffle and hug them all close, powerless to stop the tears flowing from your eyes.
"Daddy *sniff* l-loves you too, my little ponies."
>The foals begin sobbing in your tight embrace, much to your dismay.
>Oh no, you're too choked up to comfort them with words!
>You look to Derpy and silently plead for help with your tear-stained eyes.
>Seemingly knowing what to do, Derpy stumbles to her hooves and flutters towards you.
>She gently wraps her wings around you and your foals to snuggle in close.
>The little ones squeak with surprise and alternate between cuddling with you and their mother.
>It's moments like this that truly make one feel grateful to be alive.
>Despite everything that's happened, you were able to settle down and enjoy a real fairytale romance.
>You and Derpy gently break off the family hug after what feels like hours.
>"Through the good muffins and the bad, we'll always be here to cheer you up."
>Derpy leans in and gives you a tender smooch.
>You eagerly accept her affections and return them tenfold.
>The foals groan with annoyance and make silly gagging noises in the face of your romantic shenanigans.
>Oh dear, now they'll think you're an uncool dad!
"Ahem! As I was saying..."
>You quickly settle into your chair and continue the story.
>>
>>43062591
"Get behind me Derpy!" You whisper.
>Derpy complies with a whimper and tightly wraps her hooves around your stomach.
>Your lungs wheeze in frustration from the sudden pressure.
>There's no time to worry about that though.
>Two shadows emerge from the outskirts of Ponyville and slowly head towards the nearby bridge.
>Unfortunately for you, the bridge is mere inches away from this meadow.
>Derpy's heart begins frantically pounding into your spine.
>The dirt road is soon illuminated with a bright purple glow, as expected of a certain lunatic alicorn.
>Twilight and her companion continue their journey across the dirt road leading to your position.
>It's too risky to fly now, not when she's this bucking close.
>You slowly tug Derpy across the grass until reaching the underside of the bridge.
>A silhouette slumps against the bridge's guardrail and sighs in frustration.
>"Ugh! What are we going to do now, Spike?!"
>Yep, that's definitely Twilight.
>"You should try calming down, Twilight." Spike responds. "It's not that big a deal!"
>And her pet dragon.
>You hold Derpy close and place a hoof over your lips.
>She silently nods and snuggles in close.
>"It IS a big deal, Spike!" Twilight exclaims.
>The agitated mare slams her hoof on the stone railing.
>"If we don't find her soon, then everything will be ruined!"
>Oh bits, she's still after Derpy!
>"Did you check the meadow?"
>Spike points a small purple finger towards the grassy field.
>Twilight gasps and gallops across the bridge.
>"You might be right! Come on, Spike!" She whinnies with determination. "I'll search the entire field if I have to!"
>Oh great, there's no hiding from her now.
>As soon as she shines her magic on the meadow, you and Derpy are screwed.
>"Oh Anooooon!" Derpy mewls. "It looks like this is goodbye!"
>Derpy nuzzles her face into your neck and cries.
>You gently raise the mare's head and look into her eyes.
"She can have you over my dead body." You snort.
>The fear that grips you is slowly burning into raw anger.
>If that bitch wants a fight, then you're ready to throw hooves.
>>
>>43062594
>It's now or never.
>You dash out of the shadows and tackle Twilight to the ground with all your strength.
>"WHAT THE-OOF?!" She cries out in surprise.
>*THUD*
>Twilight's petite body slams into the ground.
>Looks like your surprise attack worked!
>Derpy clumsily glides into the meadow and lands behind you.
"I think I got her, babe." You happily whisper to her.
>"Poor Twilight." She laments.
>Hard to believe Derpy still cares for the psycho bitch that tried to kill you both.
>She's just too damn pure for this world!
>"Twilight!" Spike runs over to his friend and tries to help her stand.
>The purple mare staggers upright and utters a pained whinny.
>"I-I'm okay Spike, really!"
>The small trickles of blood dripping from her face beg to differ.
>"What do you think you're doing?!"
>Twilight casts a spell to heal her injury and confronts you with a face full of anger and confusion.
>"Blatantly attacking others unprovoked is a textbook symptom of deep-seated mental illness reinforced by a complete lack of social skill development!" Twilight snorts.
"Huh?" You raise an eyebrow.
>"Are you CRAZY?!" She shouts at you while flailing her forelegs.
>You brush off her concerns and remain vigilant in the face of certain death.
"Don't play dumb, Queen Twilight." You sneer. "We know what you're here for."
>"How did you know what I-wait, Queen? ME?" Twilight raises an eyebrow. "What on earth are you talking about?"
>The purple pony's puzzled expression isn't quite the response you were expecting.
>Twilight looks you over and takes a deep breath to calm herself.
>"I've never seen you before in my life." She flatly replies.
>Why is she acting so...OFF?
>Is it some kind of ploy to lower your guard? To make you an easier target for her underhoofed tricks?
"DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME TWILIGHT!"
>You stomp your hoof with enough force to cause a small fissure in the ground.
"Are your guards hiding nearby to arrest us on your signal?!"
>Spike clings to Twilight's foreleg and tries to silence his chattering teeth.
>"Or are they waiting for a proper crowd to gather and turn this into a public execution?"
>It's kinda strange that Spike would act this scared when his caretaker is the most powerful creature in Equestria.
"Derpy just can't rest easy when you're around, CAN SHE?!"
>Twilight's jaw hangs open as though you had just kicked Spike across the meadow.
>"Derpy?"
>Twilight regains her composure at the sound of your marefriend's name.
>"Who's Derpy?" She cocks her head.
>Derpy reveals herself and trembles beside you.
>"I-I'm Derpy, your highness. Remember?"
>She scrunches her face and leans forward to bow but falls flat on her face.
>"OOF!"
>You gently help the silly pegasus back up and sigh.
"Derpy, you really are something else." You tease.
>She blushes and hides her face behind shaky wings.
>You playfully roll your eyes and peak through her wall of gray feathers.
"And that's why I love you."

>Twilight dredges up a gag of disgust, but surprisingly does nothing to stop you.
>You swear you hear Spike mumbling something about "doing that with Rarity".
>As if a mare of her stature would date a baby dragon!
>"I've never seen her before either." Twilight interjects.
>You barely hear Twilight's words over Derpy's enthusiastic squeaks and moans.
>"But it looks like the two of you are quite -FAMILIAR- with one another." She continues.
>You grunt with annoyance and prematurely end smooch time, much to Derpy's dismay.
>There's no use stalling any longer.
>You steel yourself and prepare for this inevitable duel to the death.
>Something doesn't seem right after quickly eyeing up your adversary.
"Where are your wings?"
>"Wings? I've never had wings, you....YOU-"
>Twilight facehoofs and groans with annoyance.
>"Did you bump your head or something, Mr.-?"
>She twirls a hoof, thoroughly expecting you to introduce yourself.
>"I used to be 'Anon' until you strictly started calling me 'Anonymous'."
>"Anonymous?" She raises an eyebrow. "Interesting name for a pony, but I stand by what I said earlier."
>She picks up Spike with a small burst of magic and plops him onto her backside.
>"I've never seen you before in my life."
>Why does she keep saying that?!
>This little charade of hers isn't going to fool anypony...except herself apparently.
"Ugh! I don't have time for crazy ponies right now!" Twilight shouts.
>Derpy yelps and stumbles backwards.
>"P-Please your highness, don't be angry with-WAAAAAAAAAH!"
>Huh?
>You and Twilight turn and Derpy as she falls into a small ditch.
>*PLOOMP*
>Thankfully that big beautiful bubble butt breaks her fall.
>You practically throw yourself into the ditch after Derpy, landing by her side in the blink of an eye.
"Are you okay, babe?"
>The concern in your voice has Derpy quickly nodding her head.
>"Yeah I think-"
>*SQUEEEE*
>Derpy yelps and scrambles away from the noise.
>"W-What was that?!"
>>
>>43062601
>You slowly approach the source of the noise and squint with all your might.
>It's some kind of creature, lying motionless in the middle of Derpy's butt crater.
"Oh no."
>Upon closer inspection, it appears she sat on a very small pony.
>A pygmy perhaps?
>"What's all the commotion down there?"
>Twilight calls out to you from above.
>You bite your lip, hesitant to reveal that Derpy may have just...killed...a tiny pony.
"Twilight, I-"
>The impatient mare scoops up Spike with her foreleg and carefully descends into the ditch.
>Her eyes drift from you, to Derpy, to Spike, and then to the little pony laying on its side.
>"Smartypants?!" She exclaims.
>Twilight squeals with delight and eagerly cuddles the...stuffed toy?
>Your jaw hits the dirt in a mix of shock and relief.
>"See? I knew she was here the whole time!" Spike proudly declares.
>Twilight's joyous expression quickly melts into a frown.
>"And how did you know Smartypants was here, Spike?" She inquires.
>Spike's smug grin disappears as he begins nervously twiddling his fingers.
>"W-Well I, you see Twilight-"
>The flustered dragon can't even stitch together an explanation.
>"Well talk about this LATER." Twilight grunts.
>The unicorn turns to you and excitedly trots in place.
>"Anon! Derpy! This is Smartypants!" Twilight eagerly presents the doll. "She's been my trusty companion since I was a little filly!"
>Spike pouts and crosses his arms.
>Twilight sighs and rolls her eyes with a smile.
>"But she pales in comparison to my number one assistant!"
>The young dragon continues to glare, but is soon pacified by a tender nuzzle from Twilight.
>You can't help but smile at the heartwarming moment.
>Wait what? Heartwarming?
>This makes no sense.
>Why is Twilight acting so dorky?
>This is NOT how the Twilight you know would behave.
>What the buck is going on?!

A depiction of the prince's banishment.
>>
>>43052230
>You spend the rest of the day sealed inside your cloud house, punching your pillow until your cyan hooves leave dents in the fluffy surface.
>You flop onto your back, wings splayed across the bed, staring up at the drifting vapor of the ceiling where wisps of cloud curl and twist like your tangled thoughts.
>Outside your window, the sky simmers with the last streaks of orange and violet as the weather factory works overtime, painting streaky sunset stripes over Ponyville.
>The sun is long gone, but the town’s evening lights twinkle below like fallen stars, beautiful in a cold, far-off way.
>But you’re not thinking of that right now.
>Right now, you’re stewing in your own head — no, more like marinating — like one massive, ridiculous slab of Rainbow Dash jerky.
>You groan and sock the pillow again, sending up a little puff of vapor.
“Way to go, Dash,” you mutter, your voice cracking slightly.
>You clench the pillow to your chest, muffling a frustrated growl.
>A twitch runs through your ears.
>You swear you can still hear Anon’s shouts echoing inside your skull, each word like a hammer against your temples: *”You think you’re helping, but you just made things ten times worse!”* and *”Maybe you should mind your own business!”*
>But the one that haunts you most, twisting your stomach into knots: *”Then I’m no longer your friend!”*
>Tears well up again, hot and stinging at the corners of your eyes.
>The idea of losing Anon’s friendship twists your heart.
>But you just couldn’t *stand* seeing him wear that dumb look on his face at the mere mention of Rarity.
>What else were you supposed to do when every glance between them felt like a knife between your ribs?
>Maybe you hoped that if they actually started dating, your own feelings would just *wash* away.
>You roll over, pressing your cheek into the cool, cloudy mattress.
>You hate that you’re jealous, you hate that you care, and you especially hate that you don’t know what to do about it.
>No, you know *exactly* what to do.
>You need to wipe these stupid tears away, pull yourself together, and apologize like a proper adult *should*.
>But just imagining Anon’s face — that look of betrayal and disappointment — makes your stomach drop faster than a botched Sonic Rainboom.
>Rarity first, then.
>Maybe if you grovel *extra* hard, she’ll at least listen to you.
>With grim determination, you drag yourself out of bed, ignoring how your mane clings to your damp face and the raw sting behind your eyelids.
>You take in a long, shuddering breath, then exhale hard, clearing out all the sappy air in your lungs.
>Without another thought, you launch yourself through your doorway, wings snapping open with purpose.
>The cool evening air rushing between your feathers as you practice your apology.
>>
>>43062763
>You nearly zipped past the boutique, lost in your thoughts.
>You keep forgetting how small this town is — or maybe you’re just too fast a flyer.
>Either way, you hesitate to land — your apology isn’t quite ready.
>The boutique’s purple roof shimmers in the late afternoon sun as you circle once more, your cyan wings catching golden light.
>You can’t be swimming in the clouds forever, so you descend in tight spirals and settle with a soft thud on the cobblestone path right in front of the entrance, your tail swishing nervously behind you.
>Your foreleg rises to knock, then you notice the “OPEN” sign displayed in the window.
>You lower your hoof.
>Maybe it’s okay to walk in — she hasn’t locked up yet, after all.
>Then again, walking in uninvited might seem rude after what you did.
>But what if she just slams the door in your face?
>You raise your hoof, drop it again, then growl under your breath.
>Ugh, you hate second-guessing like this!
>Since when does *Rainbow Dash* stand paralyzed outside a stupid door?
>With a frustrated flick of your tail, you push the door open; the bell betrays you with a cheerful jingle that makes your ears flatten against your head.
>You scan the room for her ribbon-like mane.
>In the back corner, you spot her bent over her sewing table, working on a garment.
>You’ve seen her work before, so you can tell when something’s off.
>Her stitching — normally so elegant and precise that each thread seems to dance through the fabric — now jerks violently through the delicate material.
>Her normally immaculate workspace is littered with loose threads and crumpled pattern papers.
>You clear your throat, praying your voice won’t crack like a filly’s.
“Uh, hey Rarity…”
>She doesn’t look up, but you see her sewing falter.
>”Rainbow Dash,” she says, her voice so cold it chills the air. ”If you’re here to purchase, we’re closed for the evening.” She tugs the thread through with a sharp jerk, eyes never leaving her work. ”If you’ve come to further humiliate me, you may as well get it over with.”
>Your wings sag at her words, the proud feathers that usually stand at attention now wilting like flowers left too long in the sun.
>The pit in your stomach feels like you’ve swallowed a thundercloud.
>She’s really, *really* mad at you.
>You take a careful step forward, hooves nearly silent on the polished floor.
“I, uh… I came to say I’m really, *really* sorry about today. I wasn’t thinking, and—”
>”You most certainly were not,” she snips, her sewing needle jabbing through the fabric such force you can hear a *pop*. ”I mean, really, I know you act on impulse, but what in Celestia’s mane compelled you to do something so…” She yanks the thread tight enough to pucker the delicate material. “…*thoughtless* of anypony’s feelings?”
>Your wings instinctively fold tighter against your body.
>Each word feels like a tiny barb working its way under your coat.
>>
>>43062765
“Look, I know you’re upset—” you start, but she cuts you off without missing a stitch.
>”Oh, you know I’m ‘upset,’ do you?” The needle plunges back into silk. “How *astute*. It’d certainly be the *first* time.” She rises with the half-finished dress clutched in her magic, fabric trailing behind her like a wounded animal. “Perhaps next you might actually deduce *why*. Better to learn *now* than *never*.” The marrequin across the room wobbles as she yanks it onto the form.
>Biting your lip, you take a hesitant step forward.
“I—” The words catch somewhere between your chest and mouth, tangling with each rapid heartbeat. You stare at the polished floor, tracing invisible patters with your hoof. “I just… wanted to see you two happy.”
>The words come out smaller than intended — almost a whisper, but you press on.
“You both obviously *like* each other, I couldn’t just do *nothing*. I figured, y’know, maybe you just needed a little *push*.
>You wince, feeling your ears flatten against your mane as the unfortunate word choice hits you like a thunderbolt.
>”A ‘push’,” she repeats flatly. “You do realize it’s not supposed to be a *physical* push, hm?”
“Yeah, I’m well aware now…” you mutter, pawing at the polished floor.
>”Honestly, Rainbow, what you did is unforgivable — I mean, really, who in their right mind thinks it’s perfectly acceptable to *shove* another pony’s face into their crush’s in front of the entire town?”
>It wasn’t the *entire* town…
>She exhales, her shoulder dropping slightly.
>”But, that kind of wanton benevolence is very much like you.”
>She turns to face you fully, her sapphire eyes meeting yours for the first time since you entered.
>”Don’t misunderstand — I’m still upset. But, I can’t bring myself to hate a friend whom I hold dear.”
>A small, tentative smile touches her lips — like the first ray of sun after a storm.
>It takes all your willpower to not break down crying.
>You were hoping — *praying* you didn’t lose another friend.
”Thanks,” you whisper, brushing away what you swear aren’t tears.
>”Please, the pleasure’s all mine,” Rarity replies lightly.
>Your wings loosen and you let out a breath you didn’t realize you were holding — but there’s still something *itching* at you.
>”Is something the matter, darling?” she asks, reading the worry on your face.
“You sure there’s nothing I can do to make it up to you?” you venture.
>”Darling, I appreciate it, but I think you’ve helped out quite enough,” she teases.
>You aren’t satisfied without at *least* doing Rarity a huge favor over your huge blunder.
“No-no — um, how about I — uh…”
>Then, your wings snap open as the idea hits you.
“Go out with Anon.”
>>
>>43062766
>Rarity’s ears twitch. ”Excuse me?”
“I want you to go on a date with Anon.”
>”What are you on about?”
“Look, nopony knows Anon better than I do. It’ll be perfect, just think of me as your…” She tries to find the words, “…coach! I’ll *coach* you on what to say and what to do, and in no time *flat* he’ll be putty in your hooves.”
>”Rainbow, this seems a bit *complicated*, don’t you think?”
“Not at all. Look, you like Anon, don’t you?”
>Pink blooms across her white cheeks like dawn breaking over snow, spreading all the way to her ears.
>”W— *of course* I do.”
“Then let me help you win him over — this time with *subtlety*.”
>She opens her mouth to protest when the bell above the door chimes, announcing a sudden visitor.
>”Rarity? It’s Anon.”
>Before Anon swings the door fully open, you dive behind a densely-packed clothing rack, heart hammering against your chest like a thunderstorm.
>It didn’t take long to realize you aren’t alone — *someone* is huddled beside you, her alabaster coat almost glowing in the darkness, mint-green eyes wide with panic and reflecting what little light filters through the garments.
>Sweetie Belle gives you a guilty little grin, an empty juice box by her haunches and an open journal covered in fresh scribbles that betray she’s been camping out in this hiding spot long before you arrived.
>”Oh, Anon!” you hear Rarity’s warm greeting. “I wasn’t expecting anypony this late.”
>Through the rack’s narrow gap, you both catch a glimpse of his green coat as he shuffles forward, his hooves clicking hesitantly across the polished floor.
>”Sorry, I just — uh… I just wanted to say sorry — for earlier.” He stammers, his ears flattening against his head as his emerald eyes dart nervously around the room, landing everywhere but on Rarity’s face. Then, he blurts out, “*These are for you!*” all too desperately, thrusting a bouquet of vibrant daffodils and purple hyacinths bound in cloth the color of summer sky toward Rarity.
>”Oh! Why, thank you.” She plucks the flowers from his hooves and takes a dainty bite from a daffodil. “Mm! Still fresh.” A genuine smile spreads across her muzzle, she turns toward her kitchen to find a suitable vase.
>”Yeah, those were the freshest they had,” Anon says, his voice brightening as he relaxes slightly. “I practically had to fight Cranky for ‘em — that stubborn ol’ donkey just wouldn’t let up!”
>They both share a soft laugh at that, Rarity’s melodic giggle harmonizing with Anon’s deeper chuckle.
>Peeking through the rows of chiffon and tulle, you see Rarity’s expression soften as she delicately arranges the bouquet in a crystal vase.
>”It’s very thoughtful, Anon,” she purrs. “But please, you don’t owe me an apology.”
>”Of course I do,” he insists, shifting from hoof to hoof, his tail swishing nervously behind him like a metronome. “Even if it was Rainbow’s fault,” he says, the words dripping with bitterness, “I’m still partial to blame for not at least *trying* to stop it.”
>>
>>43062769
>When he spits out your name, something inside you shrivels; your wings snap shut against your body, as if trying to make you smaller.
>”Oh? Was *kissing* me so bad?” She says with faux offense, flipping her purple mane dramatically as she turns away.
>Anon’s cheeks glow redder than the ripest apple from Sweet Apple Acres, but Rarity can’t hide her own deepening blush blooming across her muzzle.
>’*Damn it, Rares — why did you say that if you were also gonna get embarrassed?!*’ you think loudly to yourself while Sweetie Belle stifles a giggle.
>”N-no, I mean — not that it was *bad*! Just *unexpected*, th-that’s all,” he stammers.
>Rarity covers her muzzle with a hoof, though a playful glint dances in her eyes as she fixates on Anon.
>”Really~? I’m not convinced.” She circles him like a shark, her hooves clicking softly against the floor, the scent of her perfume wafting through the air with each graceful movement. “I *suppose* we can figure out if you enjoyed it or not by taking me on a date tomorrow. It’s the *least* you can do, after all.” She bats her long, curled eyelashes, her sapphire eyes gleaming with triumph beneath the crystal chandelier’s light.
>Anon freezes like he’s been hit with a petrification spell, his expression a perfect portrait of shock.
>You feel your own face contort into a stunned mask, Rarity’s sudden boldness surprising you.
>Beside you, Sweetie Belle’s eyes grow to the size of dinner plates, her pencil dropping silently onto her journal.
>”A d— uh, a d—date? Like, you-me kind of date, date?”
>Rarity gives a small nod, a delicate smile playing at the corners of her lips.
>”Y-yeah! I mean — uh, yes. I’d really like that,” he blurts out.
>Rarity’s entire face lights up at his answer.
>”Good, I expect you here tomorrow at — say — oh-nine-hundred?”
>”Oh-nine-hundred, yes. I’ll pick you up at oh-nine-hundred,” he repeats.
>You can hear him whisper ‘oh-nine-hundred, oh-nine-hundred,’ again and again, each repetition softer than the last, as if committing a sacred vow to memory while his hooves carry him toward the exit.
>”Oh, and Anon,” she calls before he’s out the door, her voice softening to that gentle, pleading tone she reserves for moments of genuine concern. Her eyes flicker briefly toward your hiding spot, almost imperceptibly. “Rainbow means well. Don’t be too hard on her.”
>Rarity…
>>
>>43062773
>Anon looks back at her, his ears twitching with indecision.
>His gaze drops to the polished floor, tracing invisible patterns.
>The silence stretches until he finally lifts his head, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile that carries a silent promise, “Good night, Rares,” he says, his voice low and warm like embers.
>“Good night,” she replies softly as the door closes behind him with a gentle click, the bell above it tinkling like distant wind chimes.
>Rarity lets out a breath you didn’t realize she was holding, tension draining from her shoulders.
>A hoof digs painfully into your side, sharp and insistent like a dentist’s pick.
>Looking over at your culprit, she gestures with her head to get out of her spot now that Anon has gone.
>You were gonna!
>You emerge from behind the clothing rack, wings half-unfurled.
“Wow, Rares. I know I said to ask him out, but I didn’t think you’d practically *sweep* him off his hooves like that,” you say, glancing at the door as if Anon might burst back through it.
>”Oh, don’t tease me — it felt like my heart was about to leap out my chest any second!”
“Honestly, I didn’t expect Anon to actually have the courage to face you after this morning.”
>”Yes, well, I’m sure once he puts his mind to it he can be *very* surprising,” she says, staring at the closed door and biting her lip, her eyes glazed with a dreamy sheen.
>*Ew*.
>”Anyway,” she clops her hooves together, “I’ll be depending on you tomorrow, if it’s not too much trouble?”
“Of course. It was my idea, after all. Besides, I’ll be off tomorrow, so no worries.”
>”Good, get here early so we can go over details.”
“Aye-aye.” You give a mock salute.
>”Good night, Dash. Have a safe flight home.” She waves you off with a delicate flick of her hoof.
“Night, Rares. Oh—” you pause at the doorway, a mischievous grin spreading across your muzzle, “—and make sure Sweetie Belle doesn’t fall asleep behind the dress rack.”
>A tiny *squeak* echoes from the hiding spot, “Rainbow!” The voice high-pitched with indignation.
>”Sweetie Belle! How long have you been there?!” You hear Rarity calling, her voice rising an octave in surprise, the latter half muffled as the boutique door swings shut behind you.
>You grin, take a steadying breath of the cool night air, and dash off into the star-speckled sky.
>Thank Celestia things turned out okay — for now, at least.

>"You okaaay, Anon?"
>Derpy worriedly taps your shoulder.
>You shake your head and awkwardly smile at the two ponies (and one baby dragon) staring at you.
"Everything's uh, f-fine." You reassure them.
>Twilight raises an eyebrow of suspicion.
>Derpy bites her lower lip.
>"Good to hear." Spike yawns and tugs on his caretaker's mane. "Can we go home now, Twilight?"
>The young drake can barely keep his eyes open.
>Come to think of it, you're feeling pretty worn out yourself.
>And Celestia only knows Derpy could use a good night's sleep.
>"Well, it IS getting rather late." She agrees.
>Twilight suddenly pauses for a moment before turning back to you.
>"Listen Anon, I think we got off on the wrong hoof."
>Understatement of the year right there.
>"Would you like to discuss this over a cup of tea?"
>Sounds like the perfect opportunity to figure out what the hay is going on here.
>You nod.
>"Great! Let's get going!" Twilight smiles and climbs out of the ditch.
>You and Derpy clear the ditch with one strong wing flap.
>"Where are we going, Anon?" Derpy asks in a small voice.
>You gently pull her close with your wings.
"It's okay, Derpy. We're just having a cup of tea with some new friends."
>"Will there be muffins?"
>You chuckle and nuzzle her neck.
"Of course, babe."
>Your sensual nuzzling has the flustered pegasus almost tripping head over hooves for you.
>*Ba-dum tsh!*
>The four of you reach the town square, which lies eerily silent in the dead of night.
>It's almost creepy to be honest.
"So uh, you heading back to Canterlot after this little visit?" You ask bluntly.
>"Canterlot?"
>Twilight stops to stare at you.
"Yea. The royal traffic should be pretty light at this hour."
>"But I live in Ponyville now." Twilight insists. "Princess Celestia sent me to this crazy town to research friendship."
>Friendship? Why would she researching-
>Then it dawns on you.
>The past.
>Cadence must have sent you into the past!
>>
>>43063747
>"Are you sure you're alright, Anon?" Twilight cocks her head.
>Oh bits, you're spacing out again.
>Unfortunately, social awkwardness cannot fend off the force of a million questions gnawing away at your mind.
>It's best to keep calm and collected, for Derpy's sake.
>You quickly nod your head.
>"You're...hungry aren't you, love muffin?"
>Derpy smiles as your stomach rumbles in agreement.
"Sure, let's go with that." You grin nervously.
>"Well why didn't you say so?!"
>Twilight trots towards the library and ignites its street lamp with a small burst of magic.
>You watch in awe as the library follows suit, its many windows beaming with soft yellow light.
>"Spike and I have been trying to recreate the local delicacies for a few days now, and we're eager to try them out with guests!"
>Spike mumbles incoherently as he fights against sleep (and loses).
>The library door swings open, and you find yourself speechless at the cozy setup.
>Countless numbers of books sit neatly tucked within the shelves.
>The center table is host to a familiar horse head bust.
>You see a small carved staircase leading to the upper floor.
>Beautiful lanterns hang from the ceiling with a warm glow.
>Wow, it's really like you stepped back in time, before Tirek destroyed half of Ponyville.
>Derpy seems fascinated by the cheerful fire crackling in the central fireplace.
>"Do you like it?" Twilight asks. "The library, I mean."
"Uh huh."
>You neck twists this way and that, eager to see every nook and cranny of this amazing wooded architecture.
>It's not that you're a bookworm or anything, but this library represents a simpler time you dearly miss.
>The corner of your eye catches Twilight smiling as she heads into the kitchen.
>"Spike and I-"
>The little dragon snores loudly on her rump.
>"I mean 'I' will prepare the food, right after putting a certain baby dragon to bed."
>Twilight pivots towards the staircase.
>"Would you two like to freshen up?"
>She points to the nearby bathroom.
>"Your coats are looking a bit, how should I put this..." She rubs her chin. "...Faded?"

>Yep, your coats are still a bit grayscale.
>Also your manes are really messy, your tails have knots, and-
>"I'll leave you lovebirds to it."
>Twilight makes her way upstairs and disappears into one of the rooms.
>"P-Please help me freshen up, Love Muffin."
"Huh?! But Derpy-"
>She gently grabs your hoof and pulls you into the bathroom.
>The door closes with a soft *click*.
>You stare at the illuminated bathroom mirror.
>A scruffier, greyer reflection of you stares back.
>Not to brag or anything, but you look pretty good all things considered.
>Derpy pops into the mirror and giggles at the sight of your showboating.
>"Oh Love Muffiiiiiin~!" She swoons. "You're so silly sometimes."
>You prepare to dish out a quippy response but she cuts you off with a tender smooch.
>Oh great, now your ears are flapping.
"A-Anyhoo, let's get you cleaned up, Babe."
>Derpy eagerly seats herself at the counter in front of the mirror.
>You can't help but notice her big butt slightly spilling over the sides of the stool.
>Ugh, focus! FOCUS!
>There will be time for admiring her gorgeous rump later.
>You grab a brush from the countertop and start with her mane.
>Derpy coos contentedly as you clumsily sort her flowing blonde locks.
>Wow, you didn't think you were that good with a brush.
>>
>>43063774
>Derpy slumps over the countertop and sighs.
>You notice the smile disappear from her face in the mirror.
>"Anon..."
>You stop brushing for a moment.
"Yeah, babe?"
>"Are we..." She bites her lower lip.
"Getting married? Absolutely." You reassure her.
>You scoot forward and resume brushing her mane.
"We'll have a nice little wedding with lots of food and-"
>"No, not that." She shakes her head and blushes.
>Now you feel YOUR smile fading away.
"What's going on, Derpy?"
>You hold her hoof in your own.
"You...don't want to get married?"
>It's difficult to hide the hurt in your voice.
>Is she having second thoughts about this relationship?
>The bathroom is quickly consumed by an awkward silence.
>It's honestly hard to fault Derpy for feeling that way, after all the crazy shit that's happening.
>The flustered pegasus' eyes widen as she frantically begins flailing her wings.
>"N-No wait, I DO wanna marry you!" She turns to nuzzle your neck. "Honest..."
>You blush and breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay then, if that wasn't the issue, then what's bothering you?"
>You stare right into her golden eyes and wait.
>Derpy swallows hard and tries to collect her thoughts.
>"Are we...really going to be okay now?"
>She absentmindedly plucks the brush from your hoof and begins sawing into her tail.
>"Princess Twilight doesn't seem mad at us anymore and-"
>The brush clatters to the floor, but Derpy's hoof continues stroking her tail hair.
>"I just want things to go back to normal now."
>No argument there.
>If there was a magic reset button, you would've pushed it long ago.
"I think we'll just fine, my dear Derpy."
>She stops brushing and looks up, her underped eye locking onto yours.
>"But how Anooooon~?" She wraps her hooves around your back. "How do you know we'll be okay?!"
>The Pegasus buries her face into your chest and unleashes a torrent of tears.

"Care to explain that a little more? You're not suppose to show up until Twilight goofs and brings you into Equestria."

>An illusion vision of you appears, human you.
>"Do you think that you can just go to Equestria for free? Surprise idiot, there are no free rides."
>Watch passively as human you is ripped to pieces by shadowy claws.
>Meh, you've watched worse.
>"I brought you here, and implanted inside you a tiny seed just so I can make it across the limbo barrier."
"Otherwise you'd die right? You need a host."
>The redness dissipates back into the black void.

"Just confined forever until Twilight."

>Damn, did being a fan doom Equestria?

"Stop reading my thoughts. It's rude. Also if it wasn't me, it would have been anyone else. How did you manage to get Rainbow Dash as my mother?"

"I care about everypony. I want what's best for them."

"No."

"A willing host. You need a willing host, and I sure as fuck ain't willing."

It ends in consensual sex with Blackjack in a redeption arc. Pretty nice in a fucked up way since both of them are still stuck in Stable 99 with the Overmare's rules. Basically, best ending possible in a shitty situation.

I didn't, that fic in particular is purely AI Generated as an experiment. I even put a disclaimer there and warned about the repeating details, upfront. Just wanted to show how far the limits can go with just a plot skeleton I created.

It's not like the other fics I actually personally write and proofread. Those other fics I'm already glad to have written with minor AI use to fix spelling and to bounce my ideas with.

>There's no point.
>History has already changed.
>But don't give too much away.
"They're characteristics that match positive traits that made Equestria. It was founded on the principles. Loyalty, kindness, generosity, honesty, laughter."
>Twilight nods in agreement as you lay it out.
>"They are all tied together, but there must be an element that binds those together."
>She looks at all of you, and really hope Rainbow Dash shows up soon.

>These bonds formed are small, but will be worth a lifetime.

"Let me sleep in."
>"Any other time squirt I'd let'cha. Wouldn't want to miss the celebration right?"
>Clear your vision.
>Sure enough you were the last one to wake up.
>Dash is carrying you as you all are being carried back to Ponyville on chariots.
>Seems Celestia called in some rides for you all.
"Guess I was really tired. How do you feel? That was really wild what you did."
>Look over her as she gently puts you down.
>Her wings are worn, feathers tattered, hooves have cracks.
>"Your old mom still got some fight in her."
"Old!? You're in your 20s."
>"Yeah well maybe you put some grey hairs on my mane. Make me age 30 years with what you've been putting me through."
>Touch her shoulder gently, and she grimaces.
"Sorry."
>"Going to need to call in sick for work. They're going to be ticked with all the work I just left them for the mess I made."
"That's what happens when you decide to be a hero. What was that rainbow colored lightning bolt!? Never seen anything like it."
>She blushes at your praise.
>"Only the best attack your mom pulled. When I--"
>She has a faraway look.
>"When I lost you. I tried really hard to save you and."
>Wait a moment to let her catch her thoughts.
>"I failed. I failed to save you."
>Memories flood of that moment.
>She kneels down next to you, then just leans on you.
>"So your mom did something real stupid, broke the number one rule of a weather mare."
>Don't use the weather for selfish reasons.
"What you did saved everyone."
>Dash wants to say more.
>Honestly never knew she could pull something like that off.
>Canon Dash never did.
>Could she had?
"You did a Sonic Rainboom."
>She smiles at that.
>"Sure did. Followed it up with the Sonic Lightning Boom. Really gave that jerk a real light show."
"Going to make some real fans back home. That fan club that filly has of you is going to explode."
>Rainbow Dash looks over to you, slightly frowning.
>"What about you? Can mom be your hero?"
"You always were."
>Barking out a laugh, Dash clutches her barrel.
>"Ow, hurts to laugh. Really? What about your, you know, thoughts. Was all that the monster hitching a ride inside you?"
>How do you even approach that?
>Do you know?
>You're not even totally sure if the Pony of Shadows was just toying with you.
"I don't know."
>"I thought I lost you for good."
>Mom leans her head on top of yours.
>She's closing her eyes and breathing slowly.
>Breath out a little to mix your breath with hers.
>Strange horse behavior, but it makes them happy.
"I got out because of you."
>Dash doesn't say anything.
"When I was trapped in there, and that monster was taunting me. I remembered you. Everything you've done for me mom. So I didn't give up."
>A wing drapes over you and pulls you closer.

So very heartwarming. I need more momma Dash

>>43074863
That's one of those moments where Dash is softer than usual. And for good reason too.

What do Anonjack and Momma Dash anon look like? I'll draw them, I can cram another in too if anyone has suggestions
>>
>>43075638
>Dash's son
I think he should have Mr. Shy's coat, maybe one or two shades darker. Mane definitely reminiscent of Filly Dash's scruffiness, gives yet another reason for Zephyr to try to connect.
>>
>>43075638
Cross between a Dash and Shy. We’re Dash is bold, grandpa shy is fluffy.
>>
>>43075934
So both bold and fluffy?
>>
>>43075638
I imagine Anonjack tries (and fails) to ham up the AJ-isms because he thinks he has an image to live up to. So he wears the hat and maybe keeps his mane on the longer side but that's where the similarities end. Maybe he leaves a stalk of wheat in his mouth because he thinks it looks cool
>>
>>43075638
Anonjack took grannysmiths coat color and kept AJs mane color
>>
>>43075669
Anon really hopes he doesn't grow up looking like his dad.
>>
>>43074863
Brought a tear to my eye Anon. I think it's cool that Zephyr came inside Rainbow Dash, all things considered.

>Standing all in a line down town of Ponyville, the mares as you are in a middle of the royal proclamation.
>Anon wanted to wiggle his way out of this, but Celestia wasn't having none of it.
>"Your dear princess, and my beloved sister, Princess Luna has been returned to us thanks to the efforts of these amazing ponies. I can't express my gratitude enough."
>Lean a little to the left and give Fluttershy, your sis from another mother, a wing hug.
"Thanks. For everything."
>Her trembling from all the attention pauses.
>She looks to you and then down to Anon who is distracted by all the partying.
>"Never have to say thank you. You're both dear to me."
"Oh I will always say it."
>"I see a few special ponies waving at us."
"Special? Who could you possibly be talking about? Oh."
>Really should have seen this coming.
>Zephry showing up is one thing, it just means the rest of the family was going to show up too.
>There are your parents, waving flags with your mug on it.
>Told them to ditch that.
>Fluttershy's folks are right next to them.
>Thankfully much more subdued.
>"Go Dash! Go Anon!"
>Come on, this was a team effort.
>"Dear Ponies, I am heartened by the jubilation you all have for my return and renewal. The efforts of these incredible ponies are to be remembered for all of Equestria's reign."
>Princess Luna sounds and looks way different now.
>Guess that's what happens when you get blasted like that.
>Not missing a tooth anymore is a bonus.
>Don't want to be remembered for that.
>Nightmare Moon's tooth is going on the trophy case though.
>"For particular recognition, this young colt."
>Your boy goes rigid when the spotlight is on him.
>"Facing darkness head on while showing such bravery is worthy of knighthood. Maybe a squire until he is of age."
>Celestia leans down to Luna and whispers something.
>Luna jerks back with shock.
>"No knights anymore? What a loss."
>Can't help but nudge the boy.
"Sir Anon, how's that sound?"
>He grimaces.
>"Oh what? Ponyville's Primary School?
"We can work shop that idea."
>Confetti floats down everywhere as ponies cheer on.
>The rest of the mares are elated from the adoration.
>Even with your folks going overboard you're also loving it.
>Except for Twilight, she seems more contemplative.
>Anon is looking at her, just waiting.
>"Princess, I'm going to miss them. These friends I have made. It would be sad to leave them all behind."
>Princess Celestia looks down at her student with a soft smile.
>"Here's my proclamation for you, my faithful student. Your studies will now include the magic of friendship, and you will do so here in Ponyville with your new friends. I expect you to report your findings to me as you learn and discover more."
>Anon's face twists in confusion for a moment and mutters quietly.
>"Not the same phrase. Whatever. Can't pull my hair over every little thing now."
>>
>>43077013
>Anon spots more and more little deviations from canon and gets autistically angry
