Rainbow Eclipse

@, Just then, a mare, who was a giantess to the two shrunken stallions, happened to trot by with a basket filled with shampoo bottles. One of the bottles was leaking, creating a stream of shampoo. "Swimming time!" said Riley, and entered the shampoo. Being tiny was dangerous, but fun, which was why Riley did it often.

@, "Seems a pretty cool place you got yourself here," complimented Riley. He made himself comfortable on the couch. "I shouldn't spend too much time on this comfy couch," he said. "I've spent a lot of time sitting on the same spot on my couch at home, and let's just say I've managed to mold two oval-ly shapes into the cushion..."

@@PathfinderCS, Riley seemed suitably impressed at Sojourner's story. "Considering what an experienced explorer I've heard you to be, it does sound like that book grabbed your fascination," he said, eyeing her cutie mark. "Anala already had her bow and arrow cutie mark when we met," he commented.

@, "I'll be happy to be your tour guide," said Riley. "Well, after our pranking spree sounds about the best time." He sniffed his armpit. "Whoops, forgot to shower this morning..." Just then, a waterdrop from the leaf of a plant next to them rolled off and landed on them, drenching them.

@, Riley won the race, but ended up ramming right into the wall of Rising's house (not actually breaking through it). He got up from the ground and rubbed his head after the collision as stars orbited around his head. "Don't worry about me, I've got a thick skull," he said.

@, "Yup, it would," agreed Riley. He took a drink of juice, and then popped down to Storm's miniature size. He had a pouch of the juice which had shrunk with him. "I sometimes shrink myself for fun," he explained. He gave Storm a juice pouch. "To stay this size five minutes longer, have a sip of the juice. Now let's prank!"

@, Riley looked at the house in the distance which Rising Shine was pointing to. 'Must be his house.' "Agreed," he replied determinedly, getting into the ready-to-fly position, legs bent, and the hearty rump he was proud of poised in the air. "Three..." "Two.." "One..." "GO!" Riley sped off.

@, 'Boy, that escalated quickly,' Riley mused to himself. "Sounds good to me!" he replied. "Lead the way! Unless you want to have a little race with me," he offered, giving his wings a slight flap. Even though he had only learnt to fly a few years ago, he wa quite good at it.

@, Riley mentally facehoofed. How had he missed that? Whenever he met somepony new, he was usually quick to introduce himself. Perhaps his blunder this time had been the result of all that exciting stuff that he and Rising had conversed about. "Riley Blythe," he said, holding out his hoof.

@, "Well..." said Riley, thinking. "Perhaps somepony wanted a super-remote area of their house to be cleaned, but they couldn't reach it, so they needed somepony of your current size to go in and clean it," he suggested. "That sounds like a unique and profitable job."

@, Riley had an idea. "How about... a unicorn stallion loves a mare, and he uses a spell to transfer some of his emotions into the mare's brain so that she can love him back, but he accidentally transfers all of his love into her, and so the stallion can't love the mare back, even though she now loves him."

@, Riley nodded. "Well, it was only a suggestion. A hasty one at that," he answered. "I guess I like to think outside the box." He had a few stories to offer about "thinking outside the box" if ever Rising Shine wanted to hear about it. Riley was an open-minded person.

@, "Hmm... now then, what about this novel we plan to collaborate on...?" pondered Riley aloud, excited to start. "Ooh! I have an idea! We could make it, like, every single genre in one!" "Although I'm not sure how we would make comedy and tragedy go together..." he realised.

@, Riley laughed at Storm Shine's enthusiasm. "So, about what you said about not wanting to be tiny forever..." he said. "Have the size of cupcakes compared to you swayex your opinion at all?" he teased. Occasionally, when he had nothing to do, Riley sometimes shrank himself to have some fun.

@, "Help you out? I'd love that!" said Riley. "And about the format of my story..." he went on. "I usually have much better spelling and grammar. Thing is, when I first wrote this, the ideas just exploded in my head, and I was excited to get it down on paper, which is why it's so rushed," he explained.

@, Riley rummaged about in his pocket before producing a slip of paper. "It just so happens that I have it with me!" he announced in case it wasn't obvious. He unfolded it. ~~~ Once upun a time in the magical land of Equestria, there was two ponies and they were very awesome! One was called Anala and she wuz white with a grey mane, and she was like really really good at archery cuz she’s awesome! The other was Riley, he was red and had a blonde mane with spikes becuz spikes are kewl. One faitful day, Tirek attacked, and kidnapped Celestia and Luna and Cadence and also Twilight, plus all the gardds, and all of the desserts in the kingdom. NUUUUU!!!!! NOT THE ICE-CREAM SUNDAYS!!!!! “Yu wont get away with this!” sed Riley. “Oh but I already have!” said Tirek and he picked up a building and he 8 it along with a side order of friez. “Oh noes!” said the people innside. But Riley and Anala dont let no evil happen! They punched and kicked Tirek and then he died. But it’s not over yet cuz then Chrysalis showed up!!!!! But that wuz short-lived, cuz Anala and Rily tricked teh entire army into transforming into cookies, and then they ate those cookies. & then the entire kingdom was at peace thanks to Riley, Anala, and there AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “Ooh Riley i luv u! Let’s get married!” sed Analla, And then they got it on ~~~

@, "Well... I'm currently single, but..." Riley opened his wallet and found a photo of Anala. He held it up for Rising. "This is my friend, Anala Elderberry. She's a great archer, she's got a fiery heart of determination... and I love her. I just keep chickening out whenever I attempt to talk about it with her." "I think it would be interesting if something like that were worked into a story."

@, Riley said to Rising, "I'm not an author myself, but when I do write little bits of story, I find it best when I feel passion for the subject." "For example, say you wanted to write a romance story... do you have a marefriend or something? Who you can use as inspiration?" he questioned.

@, Riley looked up at the stallion. The pony claimed to be the author of the book. Riley looked at the back page of the book to see a photo graph matching the blue stallion. "You're Rising Shine?" he asked. It seemed quite coincidental. As if somepony had planned it.

OOC: http://mlpforums.com/topic/111547-ponyville-novelists-ooc/?p=3136341 @, It was one of Riley Blythe's many monthly visits to Ponyville, and he was currently in the bookstore getting some comic books. As he headed to the checkout, he noticed a book on the shelf. An adventure novel one of his bar buddies had recommended to him. It was by a pony named Rising Shine. Riley shrugged, picked up a copy of the book, and added it to the pile. ~~~ He parked his fuzzy rear on a bench and opened the book. It just so happened that Rising Shine was in Ponyville that day.
