MMFAN

It's 6am, that is the single funniest thing I've seen in a while, its 6am, great find. I really need to go onto deviant art and look at the artist's other stuff. it is 6am.

Spoiled for language, I took the screenshot from youtube as I was rewatching "Swarm of the Century" and inserted the text. Twilight's face is just perfect. Also, this.

When I first decided to give MLP a chance and see if there was something to this cartoon, (this comes from my love of Avatar the last Airbender and the following it generated). Long story short I ended up watching the whole first season in a single sitting. I'm currently tapping my foot in anticipation for the 4th season.

Up where I live theres a giant cistern maybe 20-25 feet in diameter and 15-20 deep and when I was a small kid, I used be deathly afraid of the cistern because I thought a giant octopus and a great white shark lived in there and that sometimes they would fight... I've never asked what it's originally used for, but it's in disrepair now.

It's only two chapters so far in the thread. but I'll post the third in a little bit. http://mlpforums.com/topic/51087-first-mlp-fanfic-a-few-in-a-day/

Sorry for the lack of tags, I couldn't think of any specific ones that would hint at plot points. Have a fun time reading. Make some coffee and have a cinnamon bun with Nutella. Also, while this is my first mlp fanfic, this is by no means my first fanfic ever and if you feel like reading some of my other stuff. If it's okay with the mods, I'll post my fanfiction.net account link here: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1106572/ But here's the first couple chapters, enjoy! Chapter 1 Sometimes Events Happen "It's a waste, and a darn shameful one at that." Applejack protested as Twilight set the apple on the crate, preparing for her first master level spell as an alicorn she had a book of spells out. Though they treated it as a kind of celebratory party the day after the coronation and decided to spend a day outside near Fluttershy's cottage, as she had asked that she be able to look after an irritable Angel if need be while still wanting to hang out. "It's just one apple AJ." Rainbow Dash laughed as she raced drifted past, trying to pass the time as she practiced a new routine she was making up. "Hey Twilight, you up for a race after this? Stretch out those new wings of yours?" Dash asked as she curved around a cloud. "Maybe we could start with how to flap my wings, I can barely manage that." They both laughed. "Fruit destruction notwithstanding, I'm keen to see if Twilight can really pull this off." Rarity, being meticulous as she was, had worn a plum colored raincoat, though she had modified the ordinary design to have the sides drape further down her legs than normal, so as to not get mud on her pristinely white coat. "Why are you wearing that? The apple won't explode Rarity." Twilight interjected as she looked over her shoulder and smiled at her friend's over zealous attention to what-ifs taken on by her choice of outfit. "I'm taking no chances." Rarity was almost as stubborn as Applejack when it came to making her mind up about something. The seventy-three degree heat was doing her no favors. So she sat in silence for the next minute or so, just trying to ignore that she was sweating bullets, hot and miserable. "I suppose it couldn't hurt to take it all off until twilight is absolutely ready to cast the spell." "You don't need it at all Rarity, this is an aging spell, Twilight's just going to zap it and it'll start to mold super fast, nothing messy and no explosions… I promise." Spike affirmed with a smile. "Well…" Rarity began thinking over Spike's words, now physically frowning in thought. "You are a dragon of your word after all." "I've never seen advanced magic like this performed by a unicorn without some sort of magical aid." The small voice of Fluttershy seemed like a gentle breeze, as was her way, but her tone was laden with excitement, as she idly fed a couple of nearby squirrels some sunflower seeds. "Except by Trixie." Applejack added. "Or excuse me." She cleared her throat and for the first time ever since Twilight met her, AJ took off her hat and untied her mane, and now they all knew why she kept it tied up. It draped over her front legs and shoulders with a silky straight sheen billowing by her shoulders at her slightest movement, her mane at face-level covered most of her face naturally and she peeked through the thin strands. She laughed shyly as everypony including Rarity had their jaw to the floor. She scooped the majority of her mane in one hoof and draped it just below her eyes. She did her best, albeit unpolished impression of Trixie. "The GREAT AND POWERFUL, ALL-KNOWING AND ABNOXIOUS TRIXIE!" At this they all burst out laughing to the point where Rainbow Dash had tears streaming down her face and Spike was rolling on the floor holding his ribs. After everypony settled down and got back to what they were focused on beforehand, just then they heard Spike call out "Okay all set." Spike announced. Though for some reason Twilight was nowhere to be seen he then blew smoke out of his nostrils, enough to cover his whole body. Emerging dramatically he waved his arms about to add to the mysticism of his speech. "Ponies one and all. Prepare to be amazed, prepare to be dazzled by the mystic and unmistakable talent of Twilight Sparkle." Just then Twilight popped into view by way of teleportation. They all cheered, as Twilight blushed, not used to so much attention but simply getting used to it bit by bit. As Twilight got into position a few feet from the apple, Rarity took the opportunity to put to rest a question in her mind, she turned to Applejack and simply asked. "Why don't you let your mane down more often? It's so plain when tied up." Rarity commented with a coy smile, it seemed so strange to her, keeping beauty locked away like that. "With the amount of work I do outside, I'd bake like a potato before getting it half done." She began. "Tying it up keeps it out of the way though mainly, It's been like that for so many years I'd never thought about it much." Applejack explained. "Well take it from me when I say you're very pretty." Rarity gently nudged her in the shoulder with her hoof. The golden-maned pony nudged her friend back with what looked like the same amount of gentleness, but it sent Rarity flying sideways a couple feet. Applejack quickly apologized, as she helped her friend off the ground. "Sorry 'bout that Rare, guessin' I don't know ma own strength." Applejack cringed. "It's quite alright Applejack." Rarity leaned over to Applejack and asked "So where's Pinkie Pie?" "She had to back home to get something, but she said she'd be back soon." Applejack told her, still tying up her mane, even minutes later. At this Rarity simply nodded. "Thanks girls, sorry for the wait, we needed to wait until the sun was halfway down over the horizon." Twilight acknowledged her friends support. "Twilight fifteen seconds or the spell won't work." Spike told his friend. "There's no time to waste then, everypony watch the apple." Twilight then turned from her captive audience who sat slightly the left of twilight and about five feet back. Spike then began counting. "Seven, six, five." "Wait, I'm coming WAAAIIT!" Pinkie Pie galloped towards her friends, but with the tunnel vision of wanting not to be late came unawareness of the rock that caught her hoof. The next few seconds that Twilight remembered was her hurriedly finishing the spell's incantation, and casting the beam towards the apple, then being knocked aside as the rest of the magic drained from her horn, not sure what she was aiming at as the smoke caught the wind and darkness took her as she blacked out. Chapter 2 A Mess of Five Twilight awoke a few hours later. Dazed as she stood up too fast. "Twilight you're okay." Spike reached a claw out to her as she fell sideways in a dizzying state. "How's everypony else?" Twilight sighed. "I just woke up myself, they're all breathing, just unconscious." Spike replied quietly. "What do we do Twi?" When Twilight didn't answer his question he looked over to see her slowly trotting over to the heap that her five friends ended up in. They were covered in some sort of sparkling yellow goo. Twilight recognized it from the illustrations in the masters level spell book. But something was off. "Oh no." "Twilight?" Fluttershy's voice called out softly. She stood up slowly and looked around somewhat confused. "What happened?" Fluttershy then stopped instantly and with a look of mild surprise as she noticed the change in her voice, her size, both were delicate and immediately summarized her personality as the gentle pony she was. She then looked back at her flank, not in fear, but in a calm and collected way one would when fact-checking a theory. As soon as she looked at her flank her theory was confirmed, her cutie mark had vanished. "So we're all fillies again?" Fluttershy asked. Twilight and Spike both nodded. "Well that's not so bad." The three of them smiled as the others began to rouse from unconsciousness. "Well ain't that something." Applejack proclaimed. "My hat got bigger." She laughed as her hat hung over her whole head lazily, as she tried to buck it off she bucked a nearby oak, causing all the leaves to fall at once and making a small fracture in the wood near the trunk. Just as Applejack poked her head out of the mess of foliage Twilight heard a voice scream with delight. "LEAF PILE!!" Pinkie screamed at the top of her lungs, laughing as she did a cannon ball into the pile. Too late to get out of the way, all Applejack could do was watch as the pink ball of energy and joy descended. "No. Wait. PINKIE!" Applejack hollered too late as her friend landed right on top of her. "I must say Twilight, the absence of my cutie mark is a small price to pay to looking this adorable." Rarity, and all of the ponies for that matter had shrunk to half their original size, and were now imbued with all youthful energy and talents they had as philies. "Not to mention beautiful." Spike fawned over Rarity with a new set of eyes, taking in every detail of her younger and more slender form. Her mane and tail didn't have as much curl or volume as it did and in fact was almost as straight as Fluttershy's mane was now. But even in her plainer, more down to earth look she was still a sight to behold. "Oh Spike." She laughed. Blushing slightly. "You sure know how to sweet-talk a pony." "Ahem." Twilight cleared her throat. "Spike please try to focus." "I can certainly do that Twilight." Spike was now visibly drooling, as he seemed to be in some sort of trance. Twilight nudged his head with her flank. "I meant about reversing the spell." Twilight told him with a slight firm undertone, obviously annoyed by the dragon's dismissive attitude. "Reversing the spell are you nuts? I feel fantastic!" All anyone saw was a flash of primary colors as Rainbow Dash completed a sonic rainboom on her first pass. Then did a second one only a few seconds later. "I don't see a problem with this, if anything it's a serious improvement." Applejack told her worrisome friend. "Trust me Twilight, everything will be fine." Fluttershy chimed in happily. Finally Twilight Sparkle's anxious thoughts subsided. It seemed even Fluttershy's power of persuasion had be improved a great deal. "Alright, maybe it won't be so bad, the spell should wear off in a day or so anyway." Twilight thought ahead just in case. "If any of you have problems with this, will you promise to come seek my advice?" Twilight asked sweetly. "Yes, for Celestia's sake yes!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she zoomed by for a fifth time. "Ewww. I need to wash my mane." Rarity said as she pulled a glob of the yellow residue out of her mane. Chapter 3 A Day of Work The next day as Applejack awoke and came down for breakfast. She raced down the stairs and flew past her brother. "Now hold on there girl." Granny Smith stepped in front of the front door. "You're not gunna go work till you eat." "Applejack?" Came Applebloom's voice from behind. "You're so small? What happened?" She cried, seeking answers too numerous to fathom. "Happy accident with Twilight and her magic is all." She explained as her sister circled her. She then let out a blood curdling scream, which made Granny Smith, and Applejack both go wide eyed with fright. "What is it. Parasprites? Is ma tail not brushed?" "You don't have your cutie mark, that means you can be a crusader!" Applebloom squealed with delight at the prospect at her sister joining the club. "Well it's only temporary, I'll be back to ma normal self in a day or so." Applejack ruffled her sister's mane as they both trotted to the breakfast table. Where they were greeted to a glorious spread, as it was Big Mac's turn to make the morning meal and he always made a little too much. There were hardboiled eggs, toast with marmalade, pancakes and applesauce with fresh orange juice. "Big Mac you have done it again. This looks amazin'." Applejack proclaimed. Applejack and Big Macintosh were off to buckin' the apple orchard Granny had settled on making lunch for the two of them. Suddenly she heard several loud cracks in a row. "AJ stop!" Came Big Mac's voice full of distress. Granny looked out the window to what was causing the normally calm stallion to have such an outburst. Applejack had bucked nearly seventeen apple trees in the last two minutes but had shook them so hard that the leaves fell from the trees as well as the apples. "Oh darn it all!" Granny Smith exclaimed as she ran out of the house and after Applejack. Taking in a deep breath Granny Smith yelled her granddaughter's name. The filly turned timidly and walked over, and as she came to her senses and looked at her handiwork, she knew she was in deep trouble. "Look at this girl, you've made a fine mess, do you know what happens to apple trees that don't have any leaves in season?" Granny said sharply her brow furrowed. "They can't get the nutrients they need from the sun and can't produce fruit." Applejack recited, knowing what it meant for their harvest as well she hung her head. "I don't know what happened, I guess I'm not used to my own strength any more." Applejack knew it wouldn't make the situation go away. "You can start by cleanin up the leaves. Maybe that'll put your head on straight." Granny then went back in the house. AJ dragged her hooves solemnly as she went over to her brother. "Sorry, I messed up good huh?" "Yep." was all Big Macintosh had to say before he trotted off to finish bucking the tree he had begun working on. "Now remember Pinkie, this cake needs to be ready by tomorrow night… It's Pound and Pumpkin's 1st birthday and we want it to be big and special!" Mrs. Cake told her star baker, giddy with excitement. Mr. Cake then popped his head through the swinging door his wife held open while she spoke. "And to make sure it's extra surprising, we don't want to know what sort of cake you'll make." Mr. Cake then got back to the register, a line of a few ponies waiting to get their orders filled. "Ohhhh… I'm excited, are you excited dear?" Mrs. Cake tapped the floor with her hooves, barely able to contain herself. "Oh yes! It's going to be so much fun to make, I won't let my favorite niece and nephew down!" She shrilled with exuberance. Mrs. Cake then exited the kitchen with a mild giggle. And Pinkie Pie got to work. Immediately spinning to each side of the room, Weighing her options at to what sort of cake to make On the walls were numerous types of chocolates crèmes and frostings tons of every kind of hard and soft candy. In her head she went over a dozen recipes that she could make in a timely manner. "hmm, chocolate mouse? Too rich for babies we don't want tummy aches at a party do we?" Pinkie thought and thought of qualities that'd be suitable, but also something clever to reflect each of them. "Something simple to make and easy to chew huh?" Pinkie Pie had a spark of inspiration. "Pumpkin… pound. THAT'S IT! Pumpkin Pound Cake!" Immediately she raced at a blinding speed to the spice rack. "Pumpkin spice…" She surveyed the shelf and as she found it, just above the honey on the next shelf down with the creams and sweeteners. She then found a hunger she had not felt ever. A deep longing that had been buried and suppressed… she quickly ignored it and got back on task. "Let's see the vanilla extract is here." "Pinkie." Her name was called in a hushed whisper. She turned around with a start. "Hello?" Pinkie called. "Over here…Next to the caramel sauce." "Well that's just silly that would make you the…" The pink pony trailed off as she slowly backed away from the sweet filled shelves. For there was the chocolate sauce bottle moving around on a skinny pair of legs. "Oh look at that." Pinkie Pie laughed hysterically. "It's walking!" As the bottle spoke, it's flip-open cap closed and opened rapidly. "You know Pinkie, you've been working so hard. Why don't you sit for a moment, have a snack?" The bottle mused sweetly. Pinkie Pie then felt that hunger deep inside once, the absolute need to eat without end, anything. Everything. "Oh I couldn't do that, Mr. and Mrs. Cake pay for supplying the bakery with-" Pinky was interrupted as a small bag was flung off the shelf she took one look at the bag and bit her lip. "Chocolate chips." she said with a delicious sigh. "Just a few, you deserve it." Pinkie Pie then reached over and got a small 3 ounce sauce bowl and plopped it down on the table. "Just a few." Pinkie Pie repeated to herself as a kind of promise that she would maintain her composure. Though as soon as she tipped a handful into the bowl, it spilled and overflowed onto the table. "Oh that's alright... you could eat those too, you wouldn't want to waste any would you?" Pinky could feel her knees buckle at the suggestion. "No." she said weakly, sounding more and more like Fluttershy every second. "Dear Celestia, no." She then nibbling each of the chocolate drops one by one taking minutes to let each one melt completely before eating another. "Their all yours Pinkie Pie." Came the voice. Which seem to trigger something fearful in the young pony and she began eating like her life depended on it. She devoured the entire bag of chocolate chips in a single mouthful, "Mine, it's all mine!" She screamed as she raced over to the shelf she was at before and chugged a 12-ounce bottle of maple syrup and about a pound of pecans. She then went for the fridge that was on the opposite wall containing assorted fresh fruits for decorating the cakes and pastries. She was now breathing with an almost dog-like pant as he eyes twitched in sugar-induced spasms in random directions looking for a new target independent of where Pinky's true focus was. "The fruit won't be good for very long Pinky, the Cakes will inevitably buy more as the weeks wear on, you'd be doing them a favor by getting rid of it all now." The chocolate sauce bottle taunted. She opened the fridge and without a moment's hesitation ate everything down to the last blueberry. Twenty minutes later, the stores of powdered sugar was contaminated with the juices of all the fruit, the crushed nuts a total of twenty pounds of cashews walnuts and almonds, were gone. The next few hours became a blur of ice cream and caramel apples. Pinky awoke in a daze, just in time to see Twilight walk through the door and scream. "PINKY PIE?" The pink earth pony had become a literal ball of sugar and now was a diameter of about ten feet. "Pie, where?" was all Pinky could utter, as she couldn't move on account of her legs had become comically stubby. "Twilight?" Pinky then began to cry. "I didn't mean to, the chocolate bottle made me do it." Twilight remembered Pinky Pie's story of her family life before her cutie mark, her loneliness and solitude on the rock farm drove her to eat irregularly large meals, unable to stop, the reason she remained skinny however was that she was able to do it only once or twice a year because her family never had much of anything, including money. "It's okay, you're going to be fine, we just have to get you out of here." Twilight then began to wonder if any of her other friends were having trouble as worse as this. Then she heard Rarity's voice ring in her ears. "Somepony help!" Twilight then turned wide-eyed towards the source of Rarity's yelling.
