Basswaver stepped back. "I am so sorry, I didn't see, I wasn't looking at your face that much, besides your forehead." She thought for a moment, then her ears perked up and she grinned. "Well, I'll guess I should just tell you the story my grandma would always tell me..." (Tomorrow trolololol xD)

(OOC I was grounded ;n; Sorry!) Basswaver wondered why the stallion was stomping, but dismissed her thought when she saw him start to leave. She rushed over to him and put her hoof on his shoulder. "Wait! You can't leave, I know you don't have a mirror so you probably couldn't see but you got Chosen!" She hoped he knew what Chosen was...

XD It's great!!! I love it thanks!! I am happy to get it so soon :3 (I love all of their expressions, especially Octavia's and Dr. Whooves' xD)

@@Not a Morning Mare, Cloudia giggled and shok his hand. "Why, what a coincidense, I was crowned God-Hero as well! She looked at the other excited ponies happily chatting about how excited they were about the quest they were going to go on. She couldn't help but stare at Standoff, who was apparently having a nightmare? Basswaver watched entertained, as the other ponies chattered excitedly, talking about quests and introducing themselves. She was about to ask something when something or somepony slammed into the balloon, @@.:Freshien:., an orange pony with a red mane and tail fell into the basket. Waver helped stand him up and gasped, he was the Virgo Chosen! That ment that for the second time ever they had a full set of Chosen!! Her grandmother had told her about the Chosen a lot when she was a filly, almost as if her grandma had somehow known she would be Chosen. Waver brushed off the stallion as he appologised. Waver glanced around. "No, it doesn't look like you hurt anything besides yourself, are you ok?" She looked at him concerned. Cloudia watched, from a distance, with a half grin on her face. Fate was awesome. Just, awesome.

asdfghjkl Hey Zink!! It's been a while but I have a silly request! I would like to see Derpy riding on Dr. Whooves, and Vinyle Scratch riding on Octavia, and they are jousting with candy canes. I DONT KNOW WHY OK? xD

^^ I am back with another request, if that's ok... I was wondering if I could get a picture of these two: Swan Spin and Kites Breeze cuddling :? I don't mind waiting on the list ;u; I would just love to see them in your style

Basswaver stared at the snoring Standoff and blinked a couple times. "Well, um, I guess we had to have a negative Nancy. So, anyway... What is everypony's name? I'm Basswaver!" She looked around the group nervously, glad to be seated next to Maxim. Cloudia raised her hoof nervously. She was seated next to Viridian and Star, and she wasn't as nervous as she had been when she was first seperated. "Um, my name is Cloudia, it's nice to meet you." She slumped into her seat, and looked around the balloon.

ASDFGHJKL Oh my gosh!! I love it so much! Thank you thank you thank you!! I will love it forever ;u; It is so pretty, and I love her eye and her hair, and her wings and everything!! Gahh!! <3

A security stalion trotted up to the group of Chosen. "Um, excuse me, but um, if you could come with me... Um, we will take you to the palcace by balloon." He looked down at his hooves nervously. Basswaver dragged Maxim over to the security guard. "Sir? Should we come to?" The security stallion looked up at her. "Oh, um, well you're a Chosen as well so of course..." Basswaver nodded. "So, where are we headed?" The security guard looked at the other ponies. "Um, this way, if it's ok with your friends..."

Cloudia sat on her chair, gripping it with her hooves. Viridian had galloped off, and she was alone now. She was really scared, as she hated crowded places, and hated being alone with strangers. Both of which described her current situation. She decided to get up above the crowd, so she flew up onto the roof of a nearby concessions stand, which security apparently did not aprove of. The security mare flew up to her and was gently telling Cloudia that she wasn't allowed up here, when the security mare's eyes widened. The mare grinned and shook Cloudia's hoof. "Little mare, it apears as if you're a Chosen! Here, why don't you come with me so the crowd doesn't mob you, the other Chosen will join you soon." Cloudia agreed, and trotted off after the security mare, hoping Viridian or Star would be there, so she wouldn't have to be alone. Soon the two of them reached a door that lead to the backstage of the stage. Cloudia followed the mare in. The room was painted lime green, and had four deep blue couches. The mare gestured to Cloudia to sit, which Cloudia happily did. "Ok, um, whats your name?" "Cloudia." "Ok, Cloudia, I will be guarding you ntil the rest of the Chosen show up ok? There are other guards already looking." Cloudia gave a nervous half-smile and nodded. @@Not a Morning Mare, Waver looked over to where Maxim was pointing. From the small smoking circle on the ground, Waver guessed some unicorns had been fighting. "Um, it, looks like a fight broke out, do you maybe want to go look and see if everyponys alright? I think I saw Standoff and Star over there...."

Basswaver was stunned by the chaos of the ceremony. She had thought it would be boring, well, it sure wasn't! She hoped Star was ok, but she was having troubles of her own, aparently she was now the target of a crowd. She cowered away from the other ponies who were yelling and pointing something... Cancer? What? Wait... did that mean? Waver summoned a mirror and looked at her reflection. She almost passed out from excitement. She was a Chosen. She put a bubble of magic around herself and pushed through the crowd and over to Maxim. She put Maxim into the bubble with her and hugged him. She had tears of happiness in her eyes. "Maxim, I-I got Chosen, now all we need is you to-" She looked up at Maxim and noticed something forming on her forehead, she gasped and pointed the mirror at him. Cloudia was scared for Star, she had gotten swept away by the crowd, and now she heard someone fighting with magic. Cloudia squished herself to Viridian's side, hoping she didn't get separated. She looked over to him and was about to voice her fear for Star when she noticed. "Viridian! You're-you're, a Chosen!" She squealed happily and fluttered.

Cloudia giggled when Viridian hugged her, he was cute when he was excited. She started daydreaming about what might happen if they all got Chosen... Basswaver rolled her eyes at Standoff. It wasn't hope when you acted all, all, whatever. She didn't really like the way he talked to Maxim, but she guessed she'd just have to deal with it. It did anger her a bit the way Standoff was treating this like a military operation. She didn't like people like that, all obsessed with taking orders from people. She shrugged off her anger. She suddenly heard people screaming with excitement, a crowd was forming around a confused looking mare @@MagicalStarRain, It appeared as if a mark had appeared on her forehead. From what Waver could hear from the excited screams, she was a Sagittarius. Waver levitated herself up a bit higher so she could get a better look at the mare, to her delight it was Star! The announcer unicorn called for Star to come to the front of the stage.

The female unicorn announcer cleared her throat. "As you all probably recall hearing about, a unicorn from Manehatten this year helped us along by making a prediction. She has never been known to be wrong. She has narrowed down the list from over ten hundred thousand, to thirty six. However, she wouldn't tell us the list before the day of the ceremony, which is why you all had to come." The announcer unicorn rolled her eyes. "She will be coming onstage momentarily to announce the names." Suddenly a tiny periwinkle colored unicorn with a deep blue mane shoved her way up to the stage, before leaping up and almost knocking over the announcer pony. The new unicorn blushed and muttered an appology. The announcer unicorn glared at her. "Please welcome Fyllo." She grumbled before handing over the microphone. Fyllo tried to stand behind the podium, but couldn't reach. A stallion draged a step stool over to her. Fyllo nodded to him appreciatively. She turned on the mic. "Uhm, h-hello! I made my prediction a while ago, after chatting with some spirits, I uhm, concluded these young mares and stallions would be the most likely to be Chosen." Fyllo cleared her throat. "I will be using their first names unless it is nessasary to have a last name. Viridian, I said him first because his name is very elegant, oh, um, anyway, Prisi, Aigo, Honey, Lillia, Standoff, Fidia, Bubbles, Misty, Pollen, Goldseek, Flitter, Dustie, Star Rain, Star Dust, Chickadee, Clover, Verdai, Harper, Chaser, Raindancer, Drizzle, Guiding Light, Petal, Cattail, Leaps, Kaarti, Furthae, Basswaver, Gardinia, Frith, Cloudia, Kitri, Psyari, Thorn, and Maxim." The unicorn took a breath. "Everyone else should wait in the audiance, just in case." She stepped down from her step-stool, and teleported away. Basswaver's jaw dropped. She turned to Maxim, he looked shocked to. She started shaking. She hadn't realized how much she had been hoping she would be Chosen until she had a bigger possibility. She couldn't believe it, a ton of her friends had been called to. She hoped like crazy they would all get Chosen, together. Cloudia squealed and hoof-pumped. She looked at Viridian excitedly. "Did you hear?! Did you?! We've got a fighting chance to get Chosen! Woo hoo! We may end up being guests of honor at the after-party!" She squeaked again and began fluttering excitedly.

Basswaver giggled. "I know you would! You are like a foal magnet! But, I, actually don't know when the cerremony will sta-" Waver was inturrupted by a loud announcement. "At this time all Choosing contestants should be headed towards the stage, the ceremony will start momentarily." Waver sat back down in her seat and motioned for Maxim to sit by her. Cloudia's ears perked up at the announcement. She was glad the darn ceremony was staring, her rear was starting to hurt.

Basswaver giggled nervously and put her hoof behind her head. She knew Maxim wasn't the most subtle of ponies... She was just glad this guy didn't mind, she knew some ponies who would have flipped out and acted like he had the plauge or something. She was glad Standoff had the decency to just treat Max the same as he would have any mare who was flirting.... even if Standoff was a tad bit harsher then she would have been. She honestly didn't get why ponies acted that way. She knew then what she would work on if SHE ever got Chosen. She was shocked out of her thoughts by a small pegasus bouncing on first Standoff's, then Maxim's heads before getting picked up by a pegasus stallion. Waver blinked in surprise. "Uhm, hi there, what are your all's names?" She asked the two pegasi, who seemed to be related. Maxim proceeded to gush over the small pegasus, he was obsessed with making little foals laugh. She grinned at the cute spectacle in front of her. She then turned back to the older, pegasus.

Basswaver was still giggling from Maxim's princess comment, when she heard a deep voice from behind her. She gulped and turned around, to her horror it was the guy Maxim was talking to, and he had overheard them! She started to blush. She playfully slapped Maxim's shoulder. "Oh man! You're such a joker Maxie! Have I ever told you that? Oh! hi there stallion, uh Standoff!" Waver stammered, but she noticed Standoff staring off ahead. She squinted and tried to draw an air-line to see where Standoff was staring at. Giving up she poked him on the shoulder. "Um... Whatcha lookin at?" Cloudia nodded in agreement, she didn't even like doing wing-ups in flight school, she definately wouldn't be able to do harsh training or anything like that. She looked worried for a bit, listening half-heartedly to what Viridian was saying. She wondered if a Chosen could get un-Chosen if they weren't good enough. Knowing her luck, she would get Chosen just to instantly get un-Chosen, especially if her old flight coach was in charge of the ceremony. She was brought out of her thoughts again when Viridian exclaimed he would rather coat himself in mud and do backflips. Cloudia laughed her head off, imagining Viridian completing that action. "W-What if, one of the trials to be a Chosen or whatever, is a muddy back flip contest?" She giggled.

Cloudia giggked at Viridians answer. She watched him seem to get lost in thought. She was going to poke him, when he turned to her and asked her what she would do if she was a Chosen. She thought for a second. "Hm.. Well if being Chosen means you get to be a princess... Then I would probably... Well, i guess I would have to do some law-making, but after that I would make sone more holidays! I honestly think everypony works too hard! So, what would you do if you got Chosen?"

Basswaver was nervously tapping her foot, wondering exactly when the ceremony would start, when she recalled something Honey had said a bit ago, something about feeling like her throat was crumpling into her stomach... Waver glanced around for her, noticing she was in the seat next to her. She was about to say something to comfort her when she heard familiar heavy footsteps plodding over towards her. She turned and was about to greet Maxim when he started 'it'. She felt the face smooshed up against her's and without any regard to the fact that they were onstage, she promptly climbed onto his back and lay there limply. She then said in a purposly awful Canterlot accent. "Why of COURSE darling, I am already practically royalty already." She giggled and rolled off of him, landing on her feet. She stiffled a laugh, the look on his face was priceless. Before he could recover, she whispered into his ear. "Soo~ Who's that hunk of muscle you were talking to down there, he special~" She giggled and sat down, motioning Maxim to sit next to her. She dragged Honey's chair around so she was facing them. She whispered to her. "Don't be worried ok? I'm sure we'll be fine." She gave Honey a smile Waver hoped was reassuring. Cloudia grinned, she was glad this stallion was friendly. "Oh! Well, my name is Cloudia!" She noticed the stallion look around for a bit and then look at something longingly. She was about to ask him if he was ok when he snapped back to being bubbly again, he asked her if she was excited about the ceremony. "Oh yes! I'm super duper excited! But, to be honest, I'm more excited about the after-party!" She giggled, and then giggled more when she saw Viridian flutter with excitement. She mimicked him, fluttering for a few seconds before sitting again. She grinned. "So Viridian, what do you like doing?" She decided to get to know him better, seeing as the ceremony STILL hadn't started.

Basswaver let out a sigh of relief as Viridian galloped off towards the stage. She trotted along after him at a slightly slower pace, she had to hand it to the little guy, he sure was fast! She soon got up onto the stage and took a seat. She looked out at the sea of over-protective parents, she noticed Maxim and Standoff talking. Basswaver wave at them, but abruptly stopped waving when she took a closer look at Maxim. Waver blushed, she knew that look. She giggled to herself and decided to leave them alone. Cloudia yawned and flopped over onto her side. She glanced up at he clock half-heartedly. Her eyes widened and she jumped to her feet. She only had five minutes!!! She scrambled over to her dresser and fixed her mane quickly. She then ran to the stairs, she was on the top step when her hoof caught and she tumbled down the stairs. She gracefully rolled back up into a standing position once she reached the bottom. Noticing her family was staring, she blushed and gave and awkward bow before grabbing a muffin and rushing out the door. She was trotting quickly towards the ceremony, when she saw a small pink filly drop her muffin on the ground. Now, what struck Cloudia was the filly didn't start bawling, she calmly looked down, picked up the muffin, threw it away, and sat down. Then she started to quietly cry. Cloudia's heartstrings were pulled at this filly's behavior. She walked up to the filly, kneeled down and handed the filly the muffin, before rushing away. As she trotted off she glanced back and saw the filly beaming at her. Cloudia grinned and continued to the ceremony. She got to where the crowd was thickening, she decided it would be wise to stop running at this point. She slipped past ponies until she finally squeezed out onto the stage. She took a seat next to a small green-ish stallion.

Basswaver heard Star's comment and gave a nervous half smile. She giggled. "You would make an awesome princess to!." She grinned and turned to Star, only to realize Star had gone and was talking to some stallion. She blushed and looked around to make sure nopony had heard her and thought she was crazy. Nopony had seemed to have noticed, so she sped up a bit and caught up with Star at the other side of the fountians. She listened quietly and politely to Star, Misty, and the stallion's coversation, Viridian was it? He seemed so young, but he was here wasn't he? So he must be the same age, she wondered... he seemed to be such a bouncy carefree pony, she guessed if he got Chosen, he would probably end up with the element of Laughter, her grandma had mentioned an element of Laughter right? She wished she had read her grandma's journal last night. Basswaver tensed as Viridian raised his voice drawing Waver back from her thoughts. She listened, he seemed to be mad at Star for not wanting to go to the party. Figures that and element of Laughter would get upset about that. Waver stepped closer to the group, letting them know she was here, just in case she had to step in again. She didn't mean to always be the peace maker, but she just hated seeing her friends so chaotic and angry. Waver noticed people making thier way towards the stage-thing. "Um, guys? Do you maybe want to start heading in that direction? I know the ceremony doesn't start for ten minutes, but we might want to get chairs so we don't have to stand." She was glad for the distraction.

Basswaver watched the conversation with Star's mom with mild intrest, she tried to keep in her laughter, Star was so obviously purple she had NO clue how her mom didn't notice. Waver grinned at Maxim's question. She giggled and ruffled his mane. "Well, it's totally awesome right now, I should have a new song uploaded tomorrow!" She heard Maxim's question about the ceremony. "Well, I'm hoping I do get Chosen, and I know the chances are small, but I have some hope! I have been excited about this for a while, my granma used to tell me lengends of the Chosen, it sounded awesome!!" She watched as more people came up to the fountain. One pony in particular caught her intrest, she was scarred and was wearing a hoodie. Basswaver watched this pony's awkward interaction with Honey, wincing as Honey hit a sensitive topic. Waver loved Honey like a sister, but she knew that sometimes her mouth was faster than her mind. She saw the pony get really upset, and quickly got up to intervine. "I-I'm sure Honey didn't mean any offense! Please, no need to get upset!" Basswaver hoped the pony would calm down, the last thing they needed was a fight to mess up their karma, especially right before the Choosing.

Basswaver was beaming with excitement as her friends started to show up. She greeted each of them as they arrived. She was about to suggest they get going when Star Rain began panicking and trying to hide behind her. Basswaver giggled. "Star, why don't you hide behind that trash can over there, we can stand in front of it until your mom leaves." Basswaver wondered why she was hiding from her mom this time, but she was used to it by now, Star was always sneaking out. Basswaver nudged Misty Leaves and gestured towards Star's mom and then to Star. She hoped Misty would get it.

Link to OOC Ok, so here is how we're gonna do this thing, your OC is going to wake up, eat or whatever, and somehow make it to the Choosing ceremony, where they will recieve their mark. If you don't understand, just do something similar to what Basswaver does. (If you have ANY questions, feel free to ask me in the OOC or the PM OOC xP) *Also* We won't do too much tonight because we are missing PinkieDaShy and ScaryMonster, and I don't want them to get left behind (your posts don't have to be quite as long as mine xP) One more thing, these are the symbol we will be using, although they may not be this color. Basswaver stretched, she rolled over to glance at her clock. She had half an hour until the Choosing. She huffed, why did she even have to go? Her, the least remarkable pony in all of Ponyville! Ugh, she would have to stand on the stupid stage thing for forever. She yawned, stretched again and sat up. She could see her reflection in her mirror from here. She looked at herself. She tried to imagine what sign he would have if she did get Chosen. She shook her head, that was stupid! She mentally scolded herself for being so negative this morning, it was bad luck! She got up and trotted over to her mirror, she levitated her brush and began brushing her mane. She began wandering into her memories of all the times a teacher had told her how lucky her and her classmates were to be born in a year of the Chosing. She honestly didn't see how they were lucky, there were millions of ponies her age, and only twelve get Chosen, but a pony could dream right? She had to be hopeful! She finnished brushing her mane and headed downstairs. Her mom and brother were already awake. Her little bro promptly tackle-hugged her. "Good luck today! I hope you get a Chosen!" Basswaver giggled and ruffled her little bro's mane. "Thanks Stone, I hope I get Chosen to!" She continued into the kitchen, her mom looked at her fondly. "Oh, good morning dear, for a while there I thought you were going to sleep right through the Choosing! Oh, by the way, pancakes for breakfast." Basswaver levitated a couple pancakes onto her plate before sitting down at the table next to Stone. The two of them had a cheerful chat about random things, pretty much whatever popped into Stone's mind they talked about. Once Basswaver had finnished her pancakes, she said goodbye to Stone and her mom, grabbed her trusty headphones, and headed out to meet her BFFs, she had quite a few people she liked to consider her best friends, but her very best friends were Star Rain, Misty Leaves, and Maxim. She had told them to meet her by the fountain, but by the looks of it, she was the first one there. She sat on the edge of the fountaun to wait.

I really like the colored one personally! The color splashed one is pretty awesome as well... But I think the purple hat really adds character to it!
