Hey Everypony, Sorry About the wait, I really don't have an excuse why it took this long... April Fools or something... I see that Dawny went ahead and posted the ones i got done, so here's the rest. (sigh) I'm not sure how much longer i can keep this going... (#1. sorry for being late! ive been really busy! #2. nuuu nawt dat nickname! XD #3. are we going with the movie version of the convo or the comic version? cause it depends on if i'm going to need caramel for support. XD) "Punch..." I say, my mind suddenly and utterly blank. "Er, y-yeah, it has been a while... About a year..." Sweat is forming on my brow; I really don't need this to happen to me now. "Look, things haven't been going too good for me at the moment... I just had a little break-up with somepony... But I'm with somepony new now, so..." I nervously swallow, afraid that Punch was going to kick my heart in the plot again somehow. “Oh, you have a girlfriend? should I be jealous? What’s her name?” Punch asks. “I’m not telling you thatVinyl Scratch, She’s super hot and she calls me all the time!” You reply. “Oh...” “what? Do you know her?” “No.” “it sounded like you did...” “I gotta go.” Click. You stare at the phone for a long time, eventually Caramel comes in and takes the phone away from you, dropping it back in it’s cradle. “Hey what’s up, you look like you’ve seen a ghost.” @@Page Turner, "I'll lead the beach head defense!" Steel proclaimed. He flew above the heads of the pirates. "I see doubt in many of your eyes. To you, I am the deserter who turned to save his own hide, who indirectly lead to the sinking of your ship, and the near death of your captain." Steel nodded to Deep Blue. "Then that is why is should be me on that beach!" He landed atop some stacked barrels and drew one of his swords. "My debt to you all will be repaid in blood, mine and theirs!" “Sounds fair to me.” Briny Says. “Daring Do and Scout, You’re with me, The rest of you, Steel is in charge. I figure we have til’ morning before they find that note, and then it’ll take ‘em that long again to turn the ship around and get back here, so let’s all try to get some sleep, Salt, You take the first watch.” “Eye!” Sea salt says. Before too long Blankets are set down, and the Pirates have settled in, Daring has made a place a little ways away from the main group, and the only free blanket is near Jolly Roger, you would have to move it if you wanted to be near Daring.

Last Replies of 2013! ^ First ^4 Yeah, it’s been a while. I wanted to get these out before Christmas but, well, Holidays. Anyway. My new years resolution is to be more punctual. Let’s see how long THAT lasts… DJ follows Fluttershy throughout the petting zoo until he sees a pen filled with crystal puppies. "Oh my goodness. have you ever seen anything so cute?" DJ began to hug a brown puppy and give it several kisses on the forehead, until he sees Fluttershy staring. He then puts the puppy back in it's pin while his cheeks are as red as a cherry. "Sorry you had to see that. I just love puppies so much." Fluttershy Flutters over to you, and lifts the puppy out of it’s pen. “He is the cutest thing ever.” She agrees. Then she looks you in the eye. “Don’t you ever be ashamed to be sensitive! I mean...” she looks away. “if you don’t mind me saying so.” @, Returning his hat to his head, he smiled as he walked up to the farm mare and offered his front hoof to shake while looking her in the eyes with a friendly warmth to his gaze as he introduced himself as " Myopia Oncler. It's a pleasure to meet you Ms Fritter. I've heard good things about your farm so far and I'm interested in seeing it for myself if you'll allow me." Your smile seems to help her relax, and she gives your hoof a firm shake, “Well, as Ah told you, Ah don’t know much about this investin’ business. I’m just here a’helpin’ my cousin. I’m sup’ose to show you around, so if’n you’ll follow me..” @ He Who Turns Pages “Well Bon Bon, I live in a Moutian alone, so I don’t know what happen to my parents since I was a Colt. I work as a Blacksmith making horseshoes, and I’m also training to become a Wounderbolt someday. Since I am learning Sonic Ice Boom, my mother and I want to show that to the Wounderbolt Judges.” Fireblaze saying. She cocks her head, then frowns, “Wait, if you don’t know what happened to your parents, then how do you know your mom wants you to show off your move?” Orion looks into the pony's wondrous eyes and his smile begins to grow. "Well it's nice to meet you Roseluck. I'm quite new around this place. Is there any chance you can show me around here?" “Umm, okay… what kind of things would you like to see?” she asked, self consciously blushing. I flip through a few records, trying to think of what to tell her. I finally just turn to her and say, "I don't think that's such a good idea... I'm way too old for you, and aren't you, like, not allowed to date outside your species or something? Like, unicorn and pegasus don't really fit well together..." I say, using probably what is the worst excuses ever. I finally just say, "Uh, hey... I think we should... Break up... Or whatever... Its not gonna work out..." I hang my head in embarrassment and shame. Scootaloo stares at you in shock for a long moment. and then another. she doesn’t say anything. she just stares. unsure of what to do, you slowly back out of the store. You arrive home just in time to hear the phone ring. thinking it will be Vinyl, you pick it up quickly. “Hello” “HI Doxxy. It’s been awhile.” It’s not Vinyl. It’s Sucker Punch. back when you knew her, her name was Berry. @, The wise stallion's words sat in Steel's head, but his heart would not be so easily convinced. He fought alongside Daring, protected her honor from a bunch of horny sea dogs, and tried to express his deepest feelings for her with their first kiss in his quarters. He didn't know how else to show her how much she meant to him! The Swordpony joined the rest of the crew around the fire as they drank rum, sang sea shanties, drank rum, swapped stories, threw knives and hatchets, and drank lots of rum. Steel didn't partake in the drinking, he didn't indulge in spirits, but he was feeling parched. So he scrounged through their looted supplies until he found some water and drank it greedily. After wiping his gob with the back of his leg, he scanned over the herd and found no sign of Daring. He was sure she was fine. After A while, Daring Appears and Whispered something to the captain, the two of them talk for a brief moment and the the Captain stands. “Gents! Listen Up!” He shouts. The Pirates all go silent immediately. “Miss Do here has something to say to us.” He nods to daring, Who comes to stand next to Him. “Pinkbeard is going to come back.” She says. There is a moment of shocked silence, and then the Pirates all start talking at once. The captain raises a hoof to silence them. “It’s Alright, We have a plan, well, Miss Do has a plan. Tell them the Plan.” “The Plan is to lure Pinkbeard into a trap.” Daring Explains. “I left a note in Pinkbeard’s cabin that He will see when he wakes up, the First thing he will do will be to order his men to turn the ship around, meanwhile, we will split into two teams, one team will stand in a particular spot on the shore and prepare for battle.” “You’re Insane!” Jolly Roger blurts. “There’s no possible way we can beat them!” “We don’t have to beat them, just hold them long enough for my team to sneak aboard their Ship, Capture it, And then sail it around to the other side of the Island, Once that is done, the rest of you will retreat to the ship, and we’ll sail away with Pinkbeard’s ship, leaving him and his crew marooned here.” “Irony.” Sea Salt notes. “I like it.” “I still think it’s insane.” Jolly says. “there’s too much that could go wrong.” “I like it.” Briny says. Standing up. “We get to hit them where they hit us! and if it don’t work, well, then at least we gave it a shot ‘stead of sitting here waiting to get picked up by the navy.” “If Briny’s up for it then I am too!” Page says. “Same here!” Scout calls. “I only have one condition.” Briny Says. “I want to lead the away team.” Winter also looks at the key sinking down into the depths of the lake then looks at Pinkie, "Oh you mean your Pinkie Sense? Yeah... Anyways..." He sits down nearby the lake dragging Pinkie with him. "What now? The key is in like at least 5 ft below the water and I'm guessing you don't have a spare either because you would just pull it out and unlock the cuffs anyway. So I'm guessing swimming is off the check list too." He pulls out the list of things to do with Pinkie and looks for swimming. "Unless we can get that key." “Actually I was thinking about it from a comedic standpoint, Of course as soon as the Hoofcuffs came out they were bound to get stuck, it’s a cliche” Pinkie looks up at The writer. “Seriously Pagey? I expected better from you!” Sorry Pinkie. “You’re jealous because you had to give me up to become a god, Aren’t you?” I am not! And stop breaking the fourth wall! “No you stop! you’re the one who’s writing all of this!” ...Touche’... Pinkie Rolls her eyes and returns her attention to you. “We used to date.” she says, motioning to what appears to you to be an empty sky. (None taken. ) Night sat in the bath, his cheeks slightly rosy, he was soon deeply in thoughts, about the reason he realyl came here...that in reality he really grew infatuated with the twins, having seen them before in ponyville, as they ran their establishment. He had just been very shy to approach them, not being sure if he would seem awkward to approach two mares at the same time. But today he gathered enough courage to actually be in their spa...so he had to go for it. His eyes lifted a little to see the both twins, as they did their routine, his gaze was timid, but soft and filled with a cartain hint of affection. "I...I came here today...to try out your amazing services yes...but the real reason..." he said and took a deep breath, no letting his nervousness get the better of him now. "The real reason i came here...is to tell you that i admire you both...that you have captivated my senses...A..and i wanted...to ask you...if it would be alright with you...if we could get to know each other better...?" They blink, and then Aloe sighs, “You are the,” she holds up a hoof, “3rd person to ask this today. I think maybe our water isn’t balanced…” I gently wrap my hoof around her as she gets close. "I really want to make a song for you too. I... Well I hope I'm not being weird when I say this but, I'm hoping one day that song will be about you," I tell her quietly. I keep my hoof around her for a while before moving. "Enough of me embarrassing myself. Why don't we go out for a bit?" “What’s wrong with being weird?” She says playfully, gently rubbing her cheek against yours. “So, where are we going?” Thunder went with the blow, so as it would not knock of the mask, but it was still rather hard. "Well, I'm sorry. An airship takes a while to fix, and they wouldn't let me go until it was fixed." He made an exaggerated sad face. "It was what it was. I'm sorry. Is there any way I can make it up to the fair lady?" She crosses her arms and, after a moment, uncrosses them to point at her sign; ‘Quick Fix; Auto Machanic and General Fixer of Ponyville.’ “Not a letter, not a messanger, and not even an ask for help. You’re gunna have to pull some big stops out of your wholey behind.” But she lets him in, which is a good sign. "Yes you did try." Aura said solemnly looking around the cell they were both in. She thought she could easily break out, but the Diamond dogs would easily over power them like before and render escape impossible. Aura looked at Spike with a confused look on her face. "You....actually tried to rescue me instead of saving yourself........why??" Aura asked him. Most dragons would've left her, but she was surprised to see Spike attempt to rescue her. His single action both intrigued her and confused her as she was always told that it was every dragon for him/herself. “I couldn’t just abandon you! that would go against my Noble Dragon Code.” Spike says. “Plus... last time I wasn’t able to do anything. I couldn’t go through that again...” Pink looked at the stallion dumbfounded. ALOT of enemies? Alright something tells me you're NOT a regular doctor. She looked towards the door he pointed at. Huh. I didn't see that there before. She started walking towards the door, while sneaking glances at the stallion. A man of mystery huh? Well I guess I'm about to find out who he really is soon enough. The Doctor Smiles. “Not a regular doctor in the slightest.” He pushes the door open and steps inside, beyond the door you see a plain apartment with undecorated white walls. the only furniture in the room is a low table. and seated behind that table is a small white filly with a short grayish-purple mane. “Welcome Doctor.” The Filly monotones. “Ah! Yuki!” The doctor says happily. “I can honestly say I didn’t expect to ever run into YOU on this planet!” “I go where the Data Integration Thought Entity says I am needed.” The Pony called Yuki says. “Pink Mist!” The Doctor addresses you as he waves a hoof toward the filly. “Allow me to introduce Nagato Yuki, She’s a very good friend of mine.” Red Talon continued to dance with his marefriend, chuckling at her comments about the song. "Heh," he responded, "It's just an exaggeration. Of course Jupiter and Mars can't have any sort of life on them!" The song concluded, and he finished the dance with a kiss on her lips. AJ clearly wasn’t expecting the kiss, she freezes the moment your lips make contact. but after a long instant, she relaxes and starts kissing back. then you notice that the dance floor has gone silent and Everypony is staring. AJ notices as well, and pulls away giggling nervously. “Heh, what’r y’all starin’ at? Ainch’a never seen two ponies kissin’ before?” "Alright, Stardust! You can do this!" mumbling to himself. He takes a deep breath, steps up to Lily's door, and knocks the door, a little shakier than he wanted to. When Lily looks out, he says "Hi... my name is, um... Stardust. Um, I'm new here, so I don't know anyone around here, and so I just knocked on a random door." and Stardust starts shaking, and weakly smiles to Lily, "Um do you have the time, can you show me around Ponyville, and maybe introduce me to a few ponies? Ill make it up to you, I promise.Um, if you don't have time that's okay, Ill just find somepony else. She looks around, then back at you. Then she points to herself, “Me? Uh… I guess… Do I know you?”

((OOC POST)) I feel like I've seen you here before... We still Have an OOC where you still have to sign up... Also, Rainbow Dash is still Taken. Everything I said to the guy above also applies to you, but beyond that... No. just No. This is a PONY dating Role play, We Role play as PONIES in EQUESTRIA here. at least TRY to stay in-universe. Equestria doesn't have COD; Ghosts, If it has any video games at all then they are GameCube era at the LATEST, and they certainly don't have Mountain Dew. and Roseluck is Taken. Now, If you want to go for the Equestri a girs universe, much of this doesn't apply, but you still need to Sign up in the OOC first.

Okay, I think I've kept you guys waiting long enough. replies are finally done, but first, I think it's time I announce The Winners of our First (annual?) AAPOD Costume Contest! In Third place, we have @Ragin' Red Talon, with his Hilarious Serial Killer costume! You win a custom Poem by Dawnpath. In Second Place, @Dsanders, as Sherlock Holmes! you win the prize above plus a special Hand Drawn Picture of your OC with his date Drawn by me! And in First, Give it up for @Pink Mist, who not only dressed her OC up as Daring Do (who is quickly becoming one of my favorite ponies), but was also the first to submit! You win Both of the above Prizes, AND a Super Special Secret Prize that I'm not going to name yet. You will know it when you see it. This is because he doesn’t know what it is yet. I’d be willing to bet. Oh ye of little faith. My faith is small but my heart is big. @, "No it doesn't bother me, I was just saying because I think that is really cool you believe in that" Seeing her lower her head he hoped he didn't embarrass her. He thought she was going to say something more, but stopped. They were in the park now so he decided to not to pursue the topic if she didn't want to. "Well here we are" An idea came to mind. He turned to face Lyra,in one fluid and flourish movement he bowed before Lyra "My Lady we have arrived" He said as he looked up to her and smiled. "I think at the very least I should embarrass myself if I made you feel uncomfortable earlier" (Reposted as you said to do.) Lyra giggles and pats you on the head. “You are adorable.” she says playfully. “Like a puppy.” (Reposting as you requested) Red Talon laughed in his head a little at how the mare was almost tripping over his hooves. "I think we could omit the stepping part," Red whispered to her, "Just sway along to the music. Like this." He held her close to him, their faces only an inch or so apart. He sang along with the song. It was one of his favorite songs, and he loved how he could sing it with ease, since it was right within his pitch range. Of course, nopony could ever come close to rivaling or surpassing Frank Sineightra himself. Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars! Let me see what Spring is like on, Jupiter and Mars! Applejack closes her eyes and follows your lead. “There’s no ground on jupiter, and Mars is too cold to grow anything.” Applejack whispers, as if she can convince the song to change it’s mind. What the hay. Another wall? Wait who or what doesn't want us to leave? What's going on? Is there somepony after you or something? Pink was starting to panick. She didn't like being trapped in places like these. She wasn't even sure who this guy was or why they were being trapped like this. She hoped they would find a way out soon. The doctor puts a hoof to his chin. “Ah, Well that’s a difficult question to answer, I do have a lot of enemies... which one could this be? I suppose we will have to go through that door to find out.” he points toward an open door in the side of one of the buildings that you know for a fact wasn’t there before. @, Steel took a few steps back, a frown on his face. "As you wish . . . my lady." He said with a hoof to his chest and a bow. Steel cursed his own heart. Any mare who so much as smiled at him, made him feel special or relevant, was elevated to the level of Princess in his eyes. It was for this very reason though, that displeasing, or being shunned by them (even if they didn't mean it or were just unsure) filled him with pain. "AH-Haaaaaargh!" One of the pirates in the camp roared. "Who wants to try'n beat me in horseshoes?" Steel looked back to the Archeologist. "We'd best not keep our crew waiting, Professor." He said uncharacteristically dispassionate and proceeded onward. “Um, yeah.” Daring says awkwardly. She recovers quickly though, and soon rushes ahead. “I’ll take you on! I’m a horseshoes master!” you watch her go and suddenly find The Captain next to you. “Don’t Let it bother you too much.” he says. “I heard all that and It sounds ta me like she’s warmin’ up, just give her time, she’ll come around.” "Okay," said DJ, "If that's what you want." *DJ looks around the town, looking for something that Fluttershy would like to do* "Hey, Fluttershy," said DJ, "I think I see a petting zoo. I know how much you love animals. Let's go see what kinds of animals they have there." “That sounds nice.” Fluttershy says. She follows you to the petting zoo where you can see all kinds of adorable crystal critters. “Oh, How wonderful!” Fluttershy says, her voice has more life behind it than you’ve ever heard before. She approaches one pen where several tiny crystal chinchillas are running around, she scoops one up and begins petting it.. "Oh, oh well maybe a different time" Luna said when she dropped the pie. "Well this is unusually to find a scarf here with my name on it" Luna said while wearing it. "Maybe it was a little too much for me to make a whole pie for the both of us" Luna said also thinking that maybe the others could of had some to. "Well I'll just not say anything about bringing a pie" Luna said as she still followed the track. Eventually you find Big Macintosh hard at work pulling his cart and bucking apples. He seems to be rather busy, but you figure you could probably talk to him. @, Camou looked at Spitfilre, surprised that he actually managed to get a date with her. "Um okay, Saturday it is." "Wow I can't believe that worked, now I have to prepare for Saturday. Will she talk about sports? Who knows but I don't know how much she'll like an intelligent stallion like me." ~Saturday~ You arrive at the agreed location, but Spitfire isn’t there yet. You find a place to sit down and wait. Just as you are about to decide you got stood up, you notice a speck of light in the distance, growing larger at an alarming rate. before you have time to react,, the speck skids to stop right in front of you, and you are able to identify it as Spitfire. “Sorry I’m late,” She says. “Soarin was having issues...” Winter looks at Pinkie as she finally finishes her song a bit surprised. "Wow... You just thought of all that just as we were walking to the lake..." He giggles a bit and smiles looking at the lake seeing their reflections. "Anyways, I never thought that you would feel like "Number One" when we are hanging around, but never mind that, you wanna swim..?" “Sure!” Pinkie says brightly. the two of you head down to the edge of the water. Pinkie looks down at the hoofcuffs. “Oh, I guess it’s time to take these off, it wouldn’t be safe to try to swim in them.” She reaches into her mane and pulls out the key. just as he’s about to unlock the cuffs, a group of three small fillies runs past, and one of them bumps pinkies hoof, causing the key to fly out of her hand and out over the lake, where it skips twice before sinking into the middle of the water. “Sorry, Pinkie Pie!” the filly calls back. Pinkie stares out at where the key was last visible for a long moment, mouth agape. when she finally speaks, she says “You know, in hindsight, I realize I really should have seen this coming.” Fireblaze starching his head while looking at Bon Bon. "Ok that was strange and gust Twilight muse be at the spaceport for something. But we are here anyway." Then he went to the waiter while he smiles to Bon Bon. Blaze was thinking some more about that where they were. Bon Bon nodded, “Lets hope the night is much less… exciting. So, tell me about yourself.” Upon a small hillside and under a tree within the starry dust sky, an colt pulls out a large blanket. Plus, a big jug of cherry soda from his saddle-bag & placing a basket of vegetables+sandwich's and prepare's to signal a tall pony of a alicorn with dark magic, which is an evil mare. The mare of darkness herself cannot be summoned, however, your signal draws the attention of the Nightmare Spirit, which hovers like a cloud before you and whispers into your brain. ‘Find me a host.’ Orion Skies was spending another one of his simple usual mornings trotting along through Ponyville to get his groceries. The same old routine. Every morning, he walked out from his workshop to nearby Ponyville, getting whatever food and supplies he needed, before heading back to his work place. He worked as an engineer, helping the progress of Equestria's slowly advancing technology. He also was a part-time inventor, making blue prints and prototypes of whatever strange little invention and idea he had in mind. This was his typical everyday life, though not really considered the normal day for most ponies, it was beginning to become less and less interesting to him. So he went about his morning, eventually managing to get everything he needed. As he walked out of the store to head on back home, he saw a mare trotting down the streets, not too far from where he was. And I thought I was an early bird. Orion jokingly thought to himself. He decided to make some conversation, which was a rather unusual decision since he's never really been that much of a social, talker, conversation starter kind of stallion. But there was something about her that seem to really capture his attention, and perhaps interest. "Oh hello there!" Orion called out to her, as he slowly made his way in her direction. "Um, I'm Orion...and what's your name?" Orion smile and asked. She looks at you with a deer-in-headlights look and tenses, then relaxes as she notices your smile. “Uhh… Hi. My name’s Roseluck,” she says cautiously, extending a hoof for you to shake. ((RENAME OF CHARACTERS!!!)) Thunder Knight scowled as he paced the bridge of his newly- repaired ship. Bah, humbug. At least he was able to get everyone off of it before the attack came, but it still grounded him for... quite some time. Whatever ponies use to keep track of time. Years? Hmph. "Something buggin' ya, sir?" Spoke up Yellow from under the console next to him, applying some of the finishing touches to a new modification to the console. Thunder sighed. "Why would you say that?" "I dunno, sir. You've been a-pacin' for well over an hour." "..." "Nervous?" Thunder Knight turned to Yellow. "Why would you say that?" "I mean, it's obvious that you like Quick Fix. A fool could tell ya that. And you haven't seen her for months..." "So that is the term. Hmph." Yellow rolled out from under it on a makeshift skateboard and gave him an odd look. Thunder sighed. "Nevermind. Yes, I guess that you could say nervous. For both of the ladies in my life." Yellow nodded. "And the other one would be...?" "My ship. Are ships not often referred to in the feminine? It seems... fitting." "Indeed, sir. For a moment I thought you were talking about Chrysalis." "That... queen is many things. A lady is not one of them." "Yes, sir." As the airship set down roughly about five miles outside of Ponyville, Thunder Knight stepped out into the daylight. He blinked for a moment in the bright sun, before setting out towards Ponyville, his mind fixed on what Quick's first reaction would be... About thirty minutes later, his cloak flowing over the steps and his mask glinting in the sunlight. He raised his hoof to knock... Dark Lightning stalked the bridge, the merciless sun of the southern reaches scorching the top of the ship. Granted, changeling design ensured that the elegant airship would not overheat, but he would not at all want to be one of the sailors on the deck. But pity was not a word on his ship. Pity and mercy was what got you killed. "Sir!" A changeling charged into the bridge before pausing and bowing. Dark Lightning watched the changeling bob his head clumsily. "Well, what is it? I do not have all day." "Sir, we have confirmed that the Battleship Blackbird finished its repairs in Canterlot and has taken flight once again!" "Alright, messenger. You may go." The changeling rushed out. So he was out and about again... but where would he go? Several locations flashed to his mind. Of course, he wouldn't be able to psychically tell where, but he could look. First place's first- Fillydelphia. Then Manehattan. And then... Ponyville. Yes. His marefriend's there, isn't it? But security is still tight there, especially after I blew him out of the air over that small town. So Fillydelphia first, then... Dark Lightning silently went over his plan, to draw attention away from where he really thought that his nemesis would be located. I will see that pony dead before me... ((HeLLOOO EVERYPONY!)) The door came open as his hoof came down and he fell forward in front of a rather dead-panned mare. “Yer late. By about 3 months. I don’t know whether to smack you or hug you.” She was wearing some work clothes, and had some grease streaked across her muzzle. In other words, it was a typical day for her. Glitch blushed. As much as he hated to admit it, she had a point: she had broken a lot of stuff for the time they had spent together. "C'mon, let's go." He picked her up off the ground and led her out of the ball room. He looked around for somewhere quiet, finding a dark room illuminated by a single light. Glitch led her in and sat with her on a crate, putting a hoof over her shoulder. She looked down, swinging her hooves. Her ears flick and she suddenly lunges and throws you off the crate as its braking, causing her to fall in the wreckage, with a few scrapes and a cut on her forehoof. @, "Yes it is," I call out to her. "Okay so here's the thing. I kind of made this song for a couple in town that's getting married. I know it's disappointing but I uh- I still want to sing this to you even if it doesn't exactly apply, you did seem really exited. I just wanted to make sure you don't think I'm a creeper or anything. I want to take this, us, nice and slow. So without further ado..." I ramble before getting my guitar and strumming a few chords. It started with a kiss Next came the bliss Now it's time for her white dress Getting my suit pressed Gotta make this move before it's all too late Can't see it in myself to make you wait And I don't know if I'm crazy But I know I'm in love. Maybe I'm a psycho but I know your the one. And now all I see is your face As you're walkin' down the aisle And all I think of in this place Is your ever-loving smile I want you in my life forevermore You're the one I was waiting for I'm having such a blast with you I'll keep you in my heart it's true Through the thunder and the rain You'll always be on my brain good to know I've got a home And that it shares your name I know I'm pretty crazy I'm certainly in love For you I'm a psycho Because you're the one And now all I see is your face As you're walkin' down the aisle And all I think of in this place Is your ever-loving smile I want you in my life forevermore Your the one I was waiting for Don't ever leave me and I'll never let you down I'll always keep you with me safe and sound Keep me in your heart because you are in mine I'll make sure for you that everything is fine I'll be the stallion you lean on You just be the mare I always see hon Definitely crazy Definitely in love Definitely a psycho You're definitely the one And now all I see is your face As you're walkin' down the aisle And all I think of in this place Is your ever-loving smile I want you in my life forevermore Your the one I was waiting for ((Sorry for not replying at first. Hopefully the song makes up for it.)) Surprise closes her eyes and sways back and forth to the tune. when you finish she has tears in her eyes. “That was beautiful! I’m sure The happy couple will love it!” She comes over and presses her side into yours. “Maybe next time you can write one for me.” "Well, Cloudchaser and I were going to go to Sugarcube Corner, you know, get something to eat." Windy said, secretly wondering when Flitter was going to leave. It wasn't that he didn't like her, but it might be awkward to have a third wheel along for the ride. "Do you want to walk over there now Cloudchaser?" he added. "And this is supposed to be a DATE, Flitter. As in, for two ponies, NOT three..." he added in his head. Sadly, Flitter’s psychic powers don’t seem to be working today, as she fails to pick up on your telepathic message. “Alright then!” Flitter says. “Let’s do it!” The three of you go to sugarcube corner and get some food. after you settle in Flitter turns to Cloudchaser. “So, I heard you dumped Thunderlane yesterday, what was that about?” Cloudchaser glances at you briefly, as if unsure whether she should talk in front of you, before apparently deciding to go ahead. “He cheated on me, I spoke to Cloud Kicker yesterday and she happened to bring him up, apparently she didn’t know we were in a relationship.” “well to be fair you we’re keeping pretty hush-hush about it. Besides, you know Kicker, Everypony’s had a round with her, even us!” “Yes, But I wasn’t in a steady relationship at the time! and I’m not mad at Kicker, I’m mad at Thunderlane.” Cloud glances over at you. “But let’s not talk about that, How are you doing Windy?” ((CRAP!!! I didn't realise that this had replies!!! I've just been busy, sorry!!!)) Defeated at being able to use an awesome item, I hoof the item over to Rainbow. "I guess. Have fun with it." I turn back to the crowd, scanning the sea of ponies for the telltale blue mane. Not able to find her, I sigh and begin walking home, ready to rest after another rigirous battle. Suddenly your Phone rings, You answer, Hoping that it’s Vinyl, but instead you hear Scootaloo’s voice. “Hey! Are you wearing a Dorky Hat and looking really sad right now?” You pause. “It’s not dorky! And how are you psychic?” “Hey!” a voice suddenly calls. You look over to see Scootaloo trotting next to you. You jump in surprise. “I was just on my way to the record store? Wanna come with?” You can’t really refuse, and so a few minutes later you find yourself at the local record store with Scootaloo. “Sooo, I wanted to invite you to dinner. y’know? to meet my parents?” (Yeah... I forgot to do this scene earlier, so we’re doing it now.) "Diamond Dogs?" Aura repeated. She turned her head around to see the Diamond Dogs behind them. "Eewww" Aura gagged upon seeing the three big gruff canines behind them. She had read about them once before, but had forgotten how ugly they looked. Diamond Dogs were pretty territorial so it was no wonder they showed up as soon as they got to this area. The moment she realized thier intention to capture them; Aura then dropped her soft spoken tone and changed it into a more louder and confident one. " The only thing you're catching is a cold." Aura said bravely not wanting the gross canines to lay a paw on neither her or Spike. The dragoness took in a deep breathe before she exhaled a whitish blue mist which blew towards the Diamond Dogs. The mist slowly froze two out of the three Diamond Dogs that were in front of the two dragons. However the leader was strong enough to resist getting frozen and immediately ran towards the pair of dragons. "Gotch You you little reptile." The leader said grabbing Aura by the tail. Aura didn't have time to react before he did and dangled helplessly in the air as the Diamond Dog held her by her tail. "Ahhh let me go!" Aura said struggling in the air. She could only look as the Diamond Dog leader looked at Spike who was pretty close. "One down, One to go." The Diamond Dog said. "Spike Run!" Aura cried out not wanting him to be caught too. “No.” Spike says. “No! I’m not going to let this happen again!” He charges at the dog leader. “I’m not as weak as I was last time! this time I can take you!” he jumps up and lands on the dog’s chest, causing the surprised canine to stumble backwards, pressing his advantage Spike shoots a small jet of green flame directly into the dogs face, it’s not a lot, but it’s enough to send the dog crashing to the ground. (as well as send a hooful of dog hair to a very surprised Princess Celestia.) You feel the dog’s grip on your tail loosen, and you manage to pull free. “Come on!” Spike says, “Let’s get out of here before-” Suddenly, the ground begins to shake as a ring of Identical dogs in armor rise up out of the ground. “-More of them show up.” Spike finishes. The lead dog stands up, a look of rage on his charred and hairless Face. “GET THEEEM!” ~Later~ You and spike are in an underground cell. “Well. I tried...” A lot had changed in recent years for Myopia Oncler. From being dirt poor to being so rich that he could fill a large pool with his bits and go swimming in it if the desire seized him was a rather major change in his life, but the top hat wearing stallion honestly believed that despite the circumstances he was still as level headed as he had always been. While others would have taken their new found fortunes and blown it in incredibly fun and expensive ways, Myopia had taken to investing it in up and coming business ventures. It was the driving reason he was currently in Appleloosa at the moment. As an up and coming frontier town, there was plenty of up and coming businesses that could be invested in. He was honestly thankful that his commitment to his own company had gotten him used to early starts in the morning as he walked down the path towards the local apple farm in order to meet up with his tour guide for the day, one Apple Fritter. Walking along the dusty track in the early dawn light, Myopia's eyes landed on a mare that was waiting at the gate of the apple farm. As he trotted towards her, Myopia was rather thankful for the sunglasses he had taken to wearing since it allowed him to check out the surprising cute mare without showing that he was. When he stopped near her, he politely removed his sun glasses with his magic before raising his hoof to politely remove his hat. "Ms Apple Fritter?" He asked carefully, just to confirm this was the mare he was meant to be meeting. The yellow and green mare nods, “Tha’s me. Yer the investor, right? Th’ one who wanted to put money into this here farm?” Her question was genuine, as the two of you had never met. She had a shiny, well taken care-of cart nearby.

Holy Canola has time gotten away from me! I’m sorry about this but I’m going to have to officially reschedule the tread to replies once a month until things calm down, since that's what’s been happening anyway. In the meantime, Let’s have a contest! The poetry contest last time was fun, but hardly anypony participated, so this time I’m saying it here, Once you’ve responded here, Head over to the OOC and check out the contest announcement! But first... Replies! Pink continued to look confused at the Doctor. Uh ok then, doesn't matter. So you say it looks like a blue box? She noticed the Doctor walking back the way she came. She followed him and saw that there was a wall blocking the path. That's strange I don't remember this wall being here. Wait hang on. She noticed a large garbage bin next to the right wall of the alley. Alright let's see if we can jump to the other roof using this thing. It's not too high. From up there we could probably find your, um, ship. The Doctor looks at the garbage bin and then back at you. “Odd, I didn’t see that there.” He goes over to the garbage bin and hops up on top of it. using it to clamber over the wall. you follow to find yourself faced with... another wall. “It seems Somepony, Or something. Doesn’t want us to leave.” The Doctor muses. "Gust it you and me since your friend went on a date. So let go and I will pay for the food Bon." Fireblaze saying as he holding his wing towards her and smiles too. While he was ready to go and going to have a good time with Bon Bon. While he was looking at her and smiles. “Alright, lead the way,” she says with a smile, taking his wing. There’s a small *Bing* noise, and you are teleported to a spaceport, much to the bewilderment of your date, and yourself. A purple, female unicorn grins at you, and presents to you a wrapped gift. Upon opening, it contained (*Insert the sum total of your meal*) and party favors. You’re teleported back to the restaurant with your date looking as confused as you do. Windy grinned nervously and tore his eyes away from Flitter. "Uh, yeah, yeah, that sounds great to me!" he said, swallowing somewhat subtly. After a moment, he added as a hasty afterthought, "And oh, no, I'd never do anything 'funny' with you two mares!" Windy said, refusing to even look in Flitter's direction as he said it, instead addressing his statement to Cloudchaser. "But by Luna, do I wish I could do funny stuff with these two...." he added in his brain. “It’s decided then!” Flitter slaps you on the back. “We’ll all go help you move in tomorrow, now let’s... what are we doing again?” Zuri awoke, startled for a moment. She sat up slowly and stretched. "Yeah, I mean I had nothing better to do anyways. Hehe." She looked up at the night sky, it was beautiful, as always. A fact popped into Zuri's head. "Did you know that Luna takes her stars away one by one? It's a beautiful sight, like she's ending her show for you, but making it interesting." She continued to stare at the sky a little bit longer. It would end soon. She shook her head and looked to Pip. "So, what would you like to do?" You couldn't tell but Zuri was blushing. “Yes, Our Princess of the night is quite spectacular.” Pip agrees as the two of you stare up at the stars. “In fact, the only reason I was able to get this position as a member of her personal guard is because she remembered me from when I was a Foal.” He smiles at the memory. when you ask him what he likes to do he has to think for a moment. “Reading mostly.” Pip says. “I don’t usually have a lot of free time.” "O-okay, Fluttershy. If you want me to stop calling you beautiful, I'll stop. It's still true though." The train comes to a stop and DJ opens the door for Fluttershy. "ladies first." After Fluttershy exits the train, DJ takes a big breath of air. "So Fluttershy, where would you like to go?" Fluttershy looks around. “Oh, I don’t know... There’s just so much... why don’t you choose first?” she says meekly. "Maybe I should put the apple pie in the kitchen before I deside to fallow the tracks" Luna said to herself. "Well I might as well bring the apple pie with me because I don't know if the other are here" Luna said to herself as she started to follow the set of cartwheels and Big Mac's hoofprints. (Gotta find him before the situation changes enough to write more. Sorry. You should just be able to follow the tracks a ways and see the cart. He won’t be far from there) There’s a loud bang and you drop the pie. It disappears, much to your dismay.In it’s place, a scarf appears with your name on it, for you to wrap around your neck. When you do so, the name disappears. Having done this, you realize that giving Big Mac a whole pie for you two to split may have been coming on too strong, especially since you just met. I wipe my lower lip and say, "Hey, Spitfire. You are a pretty good actor. But are you a pretty good flier? And if you are, can you do a thingy in the sky up there?" He points up. "Can you do a Sonic Rainboom thingy? Remember... There are boys watching..." Pointing out the obious ponies she's trying to impress. "Not to mention Rainbow Dash, your biggest fan." “Rainbow Dash is the Only Pony Who’s ever pulled that off, Do you really think you can goad me into doing a trick like that?” Spitfire sneers “Remember... There are boys watching..." you say, "Not to mention Rainbow Dash, you're biggest fan." Spitfire grinds her teeth as she thinks it over. “Alright.” she says finally. “Somepony get me my flight suit!” Instantly, Rainbow dash is at her side, Holding out Spitfire’s flight suit. “Hi. Big fan.” Spitfire takes the suit from her. “Why wouldn’t you be?” Spitfire Dons her suit and launches herself in the air. She flies straight up so far that eventually you can’t make her out at all, after a few moments she reappears, now rushing toward the ground as fast as she can push herself. a mach cone forms around her, and begins to narrow. just as it seems like she’s about to pull it off, she suddenly comes to a stop, her eyes widen. “Oh.” and then the mach cone around her inverts, bouncing her back into the sky. “Wow. She totally bailed.” Rainbow Dash says. “Yeah!” you pump your hoof in celebration. “Did Vinyl see that?” you scan the crowd for your marefriend, but you can’t see her. “Nope, she totally bailed.” Rainbow Repeats. A folded Flightsuit appears in the air in front of you. ‘New Item unlocked! Level 100 Wonderbolts Flightsuit. (equippable by pegasus only)’ “Aww!” you groan. “I can’t use this!” Rainbow dash points at it. “Do you mind if I..?” MEANWHILE Spitfire crash lands in a field several miles away. she pulls out her phone and presses 7 on her speed dial. it rings seven times before a voice answers. “Please tell me it’s good news.” The voice on the end of the line says grumpily. Spitfire winces. “Sorry, He outsmarted me.” “I see, well your job is complete. He won’t fare as well against his next opponent, after all, how do you outsmart somepony who can predict the future?” Most of the group gives a hearty cheer at this. “I’m not sure I’d Call this a ‘Victory’” Jolly points out. “We lost our ship and most of the crew, and we’re stranded on an Island.” “Don’t ruin the Moment.” Salt says. A barrel is opened and soon everypony has a tankard of rum in their hoof. Page looks down at his. “I dunno... I really shouldn't...” Salt laughs at Page’s reluctance. “Yer a pirate now sonny! Startin’ today yer gonna be doin’ a lot o’ things ya really shouldn’t.” “Fair enough.” Page concedes. “Well, bottoms up!” He takes a big gulp of his Rum. Briny downs the whole thing without a second thought, and goes for another. “As is the second, unspoken custom,” she says, grinning widely, “The new guy has a drinking contest. With me. Lets see how much he can hold before he trips himself.” Of course, the crew knew this as an excuse for Briny to drink a lot… but they usually kept that to themselves. Before you a note appears, explaining the situation, and your inability to refuse. It’s rather happy, and appears to be written by yourself from the future. With the note comes some hang-over medicine and a small cookie with a candle in it, which you feel compelled to blow out, and eat without Briny noticing. Aura glances at Spike. Seeing how pale he was; she could tell something was very wrong with him. "What's wrong?" Aura questions him in concern. She looks down onto the rocky filled landscape. She noticed there were several dug up holes that she hadn't noticed until now. "That's wierd. I didn't see those holes there the first time I came here." “We can’t be here.” Spike says. “this land belongs to-” “oh, what’s this?” a guttural voice comes from behind you. “Two little dragons come to steal our precious gems?” you spin around to see a trio of doglike monsters. “-The Diamond Dogs.” Spike finishes. “What do we do with them?” the biggest dog asks, looking at the dog in the middle, who seems to be the leader. “We catch them of course!” the lead dog replies, grinning evilly. He kisses her back, growing weak-kneed. How did I get this lucky again? I think... I don't... Kiss? When she broke the kiss of, he turned his attention to trying to flatten his wings and cover his blush at the same time. "O-okay, I'll try to worry half as much, but I'm still worried. I want to give you the wedding you deserve, not the one we can afford." Of course, hoe-downs are free and fun after parties too... “Sugarcube, What you think Ah deserve and what Ah actually deserve Ain’t the same. Ah’ve already got more than I deserve with a family that loves me and a brilliant stallion who wants ta marry me. I’d be fine with goin’ up to the mayor’s office an’ payin’ 50 bits ta make it official right now.” She Blushes. “But I’m just practical like that I guess.” Okay lucky scarf ready, don't be shy don't get scared. "Hey Spitfire you have amazing athletic abilities only I could ever dream of possessing, would it be okay if you can take a relaxing break from all that flying and just sit on a cloud and watch the stars with me tomorrow night? I will be pleased if you say yes." “Sorry, I’m busy tomorrow night, I have to shoot for the Daring Do movie, but I’m free on Saturday.” Spitfire replies. “I’d love to hang out then, Celestia knows I could use a break.” @, Steel was about to protest that the very fact they hadn't actually "rolled" would make him special, but he bit his tongue as he could see she was trying her best. Then came her question. Steel was dumbfounded. How do you define love? What makes it different between how a mare would feel it vs. a stallion? How would Daring individually define it differently? "That's . . . a really hard question to answer." He said, lifting the brim of his hat to scratch his brow. "Try." Daring responded bluntly. "Love is . . . when you can look into their eyes, see all the possible futures of your life together, and not be afraid. Love is knowing their happiness is all you'll ever need." He walked closer to her. "Love is knowing that, even if the world were crumbling around you, you'd feel safe in their embrace. Love . . . is the ultimate treasure . . . . the ultimate adventure." (The rolling was meant to be implied back on the ship when i used the word ‘cuddle’ you had the opportunity then to interpret that however you wanted.) Daring thinks about that for a while. when she finally speaks her voice is so soft that you almost don’t notice it. “Well, I don’t think I’m quite there yet.” She looks up at you. “I know that isn’t what you want me to say, but I’d like to hold off on all of this until after this little adventure is over. If I decide to stick around afterwards.” Winter gets up again and gets his composure. He wipes off some of the dust on him. He looks around and shrugs then continues waiting for Pinkie. Sitting down on a nearby bench, he looks at the list he made and sighs looking at where Pinkie went off and looks down again and puts "skydiving" by the end of list. “I’m Back!” Pinkie says, suddenly appearing beside you while you were looking the other way. She snaps the hoofcuffs back on. “Okay! As we were!” She Begins walking forward and promptly faceplants as the cuff pulls her hoof out from under her. “This isn’t working, we need to get in rhythm.” she says, bouncing back to her feet. “Follow my outside hooves! Inside hooves! outside! inside! outside! It’s like a seven legged race except we’re not in a hurry!” “Come with me, there’s plenty of time, We walk together, Side by side, I am yours, and you are mine, Whenever we’re together, we have such a good time!!” The song has a slow beat and a predictable melody, and you find walking in time with it makes it much easier. “Step by step, and trot by trot, We will get there in time, Fear not! The destination matters not, Whenever we’re together, it’s the journey that’s hot!” The song continues in this manner for several verses, and you find yourself in awe of how many things she can come up with to say about walking. The song finally ends when you reach the lake. “And now we’re here, the journeys done, It’s time for us to have some fun! I’m with you, out in the sun, whenever we’re together, I feel like number one!”

Most of the group gives a hearty cheer at this. “I’m not sure I’d Call this a ‘Victory’” Jolly points out. “We lost our ship and most of the crew, and we’re stranded on an Island.” “Don’t ruin the Moment.” Salt says. A barrel is opened and soon everypony has a tankard of rum in their hoof. Page looks down at his. “I dunno... I really shouldn't...” Salt laughs at Page’s reluctance. “Yer a pirate now sonny! Startin’ today yer gonna be doin’ a lot o’ things ya really shouldn’t.” “Fair enough.” Page concedes. “Well, bottoms up!” He takes a big gulp of his Rum.

All of the Birthday messages today have been amazing! Thank you all for making me feel special! Reply tiem! now with 99% more color! Oh, and before I forget. There's an announcement in the OOC thread concerning the anniversary of the thread, Nothing is set in stone yet. But we're planning something really special! Pinkie nods. ”Okay, Off to the lake we go!” She starts walking and begins to drag you, after a few moments you manage to get into step. you notice that ponies are giving the pair of you odd looks as you pass. just before you leave the zoo, Pinkie stops. “Oh! Oh! Oooh! Hold on A second, I have to use the Little Filly’s room!” She Reaches into her mane and pulls out a tiny blue key, which she uses to unlock the cuff around her leg. “Be right back!” She zooms away into a nearby bathroom. Suddenly, Gilda is Beside you. “Hey, How’s it goin? This guy bothering you? Lemme take care of him.” Gilda spins around to face the Raging DJ. “Woah Dude, What’s your Problem?” The DJ Glares at Gilda. “THAT JERK INSULTED MY SET!” He screams, pointing an accusatory hoof at you. “Yeah? So what? Losing your cool like that ain’t cool dude.” “Uh, I... Gah. What business is it of yours?” The DJ Demands to know. Gilda puts a wing across you. and pulls you in close. “We’re together. If you have a problem with him you have a problem with both of us. Do you think you can take on two griffons by yourself? No? Then GET LOST!” The DJ Squeaks in fear as Gilda roars the last two words, then he slowly slinks away into the crowd. Fluttershy hasn't stopped blushing since you started talking to her, but now it’s starting to spread beyond her cheeks. “P-Please, stop calling me that, It’s embarrassing...” She makes an effort to compose herself. “And yes, I have been to the Crystal empire before... I even helped save it. although I didn’t really do much. Twilight did all the work... Oh, and Spike.” She smiles. “Everypony there is so nice, And it is beautiful. Everything is sparkly, even the ponies.” “That sounds nice. Okay, I’ll go to the Silver Horseshoe with you, but first you must tell me your name. I try to make a point of knowing a pony before I let them take me out,” she smiles at you encouragingly. (+1 for being first +1 for not trying to fake something +1 for manners -1 for being unable to come up with a restaurant name.) Applejack scowls as she tries to concentrate on not stepping on your hooves. “Tarnation, This is harder than it looks.” She mumbles as she nearly trips over her own hoof. Cloudchaser looks at you thoughtfully. “I don’t know, I barely know you...” “What if you both moved in with me?” Flitter suggests. “What?” “That way If he tries anything funny to one of us, the other one will be there!” Flitter turns to make eye contact with you. “Besides, You wouldn’t try anything funny with either of us would you?” Her tone is playful, but from the look in her eyes you get the idea that she wishes you would. Cloudchaser doesn’t seem to notice her Sister’s implication. “That sounds perfect actually, what do you think Windy?” “Oh, well umm yeah...” Lyra lowers her head a little. “That doesn’t bother you does it? I mean, I know human stories are supposed to be for little kids, but...” Daring Raises an eyebrow at you. “Getting sentimental Isn’t very piratey.” She says. “And I’m not a sentimental pony, But If you really want to talk serious, I’ll give it a try. You aren’t the first Stallion I’ve had on an adventure with me, and I've had a ‘roll in the hay’ as it were with more of them than I haven’t. Hay, I've even been with a few mares in my time, so in most regards there’s not that much about you that’s special.” She looks down at her hooves. “But in other ways, you are special. It feels Different somehow, I dunno. I had Always assumed that I'd never be able to form a meaningful relationship, but then you came along, and suddenly I have somepony who means more to me than just a vessel to serve my basic needs...” She shakes her head. “I can’t even believe I’m telling you all of this!” She looks up and makes eye contact. “Tell me something Steel, I’ve never felt this before, so I need to know if it is what i think it is. What does it feel like... to be in love?” “But it’s not okay! I break things everywhere I go! That fountain, your back, this railing…”she holds her head in her hooves, nearly bawling. A few partygoers were giving you two strange looks. (See Applejacker’s post. Usually, you guys won’t be meeting each other unless specified [as in your post.]) No points awarded... “Ah, yes, sorry. A ‘ship’ is a sort of transportation device like a train or a balloon, except completely different.” The Doctor answers unhelpfully. “My particular ship resembles a large blue box.” He begins walking back down the alley the way you came only to find another wall. “Oh dear. That’s not very nice. They seem to have trapped us.” “Prepare to feel the wrath of the League of Evil Exes!” Spitfire Declares. “The what?” you ask in confusion. Spitfire stops and raises an Eyebrow. “You mean you don’t know about the League? The seven evil exes? Coming to kick your flank? Controlling the future of Vinyl’s love life?” “Uh... No...” “Oh, well hey man, Don’t even worry about it!” She holds out her hoof to help you up. “C’mon, let’s go get a beer.” You take her offered hoof. “Really? that sounds-” Spitfire suddenly lets go of your hoof and smacks you with one of her wings. she laughs. “Ha! you actually fell for it! I am SUCH a good actress!” You pull yourself to your hooves, and then you notice Rainbow Dash, The only pony to ever produce a Sonic Rainboom... and that gives you an Idea. Applejack stops and looks you in the eyes. “Sugarcube, I Don’t need anything fancy. I don’t WANT anything fancy”. She puts a hoof to your Face. “The only thing I need is You. An’ I don’t rightly care if everypony in Equestria shows up or If it’s just close friends an’ family.” She winks. “Besides, Twi’s Handling all the preparations, I’m sure she’ll get us a good deal. So don’t worry so much. We’ll manage.” She leans in and kisses you. Bon Bon nods, “Alright. We can do that. I mean, if you want Lyra to come along. Or it could just be you and me. It doesn’t much matter to me. Briny completed the conversation with her father, and approached the crew, “Alright, listen up. As is customary for both a new member of the crew AND a victory, let’s open up a barrel of spirits.” She grins wickedly and sits on one of the makeshift benches. As you put your finished song away, you hear the water in the bathroom stop running, and Surprise calls out from the other side of the door. “Is it safe for me to come back out yet?” Pipsqueak nods. “I’ll look forward to it. meet me at the castle gate.” He then turns away, Returning to his nightly task of keeping his favorite princess safe. meanwhile, you exit the castle and find a comfortable looking bench within sight of the main gate. Several hours pass, and you fall asleep at one point. finally. The white and brown pony appears, now out of his uniform and notices you with some surprise. “Oh wow. You actually waited.” He notes. “I honestly Didn’t expect that.” They continued about their business, as normal.Customers often did such things, so they didn’t see anything special in you. (No offense) The confused Carney looks at you. “It’s Five bits for six rings.” The carney says. “The rules are simple, Each red caped bottle is worth 1 point, yellows are 2, greens are 5, and the gray one in the middle there is 10. if you use magic to throw your rings then you must release them before they cross the red line, or it doesn’t count.” She points her hoof at the red line painted along the edge of the booth. Game Time! If you have any RPG dice, get them out now. if not, use THIS. First Roll a d6 to see how many of your rings successfully land on a bottle. Next Roll a d20 the number of times you got on the d6, each number corresponds to a specific bottle on this Diagram: Calculate your score as such: Rings: (d6) Red: (# of times you got red) Yellow: (# of times you got yellow) Green: (# of times you got green) Gray: (# of times you got gray) A set of cartwheels and Big Mac’s heavy hoofprints lead away from the barn. Their depth indicated that it was fresh.

"Eye-eye Miss Blue!" Page says, Snapping a salute. He then goes to where the remnants of the crew have gathered. "Ahoy there mateys! The Cap'n has allowed me to join the crew and I'm ready to help in any way I can." "Okay." Says the big earth pony. "First of all stop talking in that stupid accent." Page deflated. "but.. I'm a pirate now, isn't that how pirates talk?" "Do we talk like that?" Sea Salt points out. "well, I guess not." “Good now that’s settled welcome to the crew!” Sea Salt says. “Let me introduce you to everypony.” Sea salt points to the pig grey pony with the eye patch. “I’m Sea Salt, The grumpy one there is Jolly Rodger.” “HI.” “and then there’s the kid over here who won’t tell us his real name.” A little red pegasus who looks as though he hasn’t hit his growth spurt yet waves. “Just call me scout.” he says in a bronclyn accent. “And that’s pretty much all that’s left of us.” Sea Salt says. “Aside From the Captain and miss Blue, O’course.” He laughs heartily. “What a ragtag bunch we are! A cripple, a drunken bum, a grump, and a runaway kid. Now why was you wantin’ to join us so bad again?” Page glances over to where Briny is now talking to her father. “Oh, I have my reasons.” Salt follows his glance. “Ya mean...” He bursts into yet another fit of laughter. “Ha, Good luck with that. She’s a real hardflank, Briny Blue. We’ve all taken a shot at her, but she turned us down, every pony.” Page smiles. “Well, We’ll see.”

Hey look! Page is Posting Something! Is it the replies? YES IT IS!!! Blushing violently, Fluttershy stares intently at her hooves. “Um, Well, If you are really sure... okay. I’ll go to the Crystal Empire with you.” “Sugarcube, Ya cain’t lie to the element of honesty. I can see that there’s something you ain’t tellin’ me.” She sighs. “Well, I guess I cain’t force ya, but whenever you decide ta talk I’ll listen.” She looked at her partner Lyra and shrugged, “Well, it can’t hurt, can it? When and where?” AJ Blushes. “Well, Shoot. I dunno... This Seems like one o’ them fancy affairs... I ain’t sure I can dance like that...” Spitfire, Seeing that the stunt team has everything well in hoof. turns to walk away. her phone rings and she pulls it out of her daring do vest. she looks at it and laughs. “Hah! Oh good one. That’s actually hilarious.” A Gofer appears with a coffee, which she takes. However, before she can bring it to her lips she hears a loud boom. She turns around to see you standing over the fallen forms of her now unconscious stunt team. “Miss Spitfire! You’re needed back on set!” Spitfire drops her coffee and crushes it under her hoof. Then she charges toward you. “Our First step is to get everypony together and see exactly what our situation here is.” The Captain says. He seems to be about to say more, but before he can Page Turner Appears. “Excuse me, Captain? Can I have a word?” The Captain looks over at the Blue Unicorn. “Ah, Yes, I actually have some things to say to you as well. Where are the others?” Page Points a hoof towards the center of the island. “just over that hill you’ll see the campsite.” Captain Blue nods to you and Daring. “Miss Do, Mr. Accord, Take what you can carry and head for the campsite, Mr. Turner and I have something to discuss.” Having said this, the two stallions walk off. Daring turns to you. “Well, you heard the Captain. Let’s get these Supplies to the camp.” “Ah yes, Sorry about that. That weird noise would be my ship, Which, as I said, Just left without me, I sort of fell out of it. I was just trying to chase it down when this rather rude wall decided to put itself in my way.” The Brown stallion holds out a hoof. “I’m The Doctor, by the way. And you are?” Surprise looks down at you with a face that matches her name. After a moment,a look of realization enters her eyes. “Oh! I get it! You don’t want me to see this because it’s a surprise!” She drops the half crumpled paper back on the floor. “I’ll just go wash my mane a few more times and we can pretend this never happened.” She shoots you an exaggerated wink and backs into the bathroom. locking the door behind her. “You can help the other members secure what little cargo we have left, and then negotiate watch times,” she says offhandedly, “And, umm, thanks. For saving... ya. Thanks mate.” Pinkie’s eyes Widen in realization. “Ohmygosh! I’m sorry! I just got so excited that I forgot to make sure you were having fun too! She reaches into her mane and pulls a pair of blue fuzzy hoofcuffs (why does she have those?) Which she attaches to your left front hoof and her right. “There! Now I Can’t run off leave you behind!” She notices the way you are looking at the cuff around your hoof. “I thought they looked more fun than regular hoofcuffs, and the pink ones clash with my coat.” “YOU WOULDN’T KNOW MUSIC IF IT CAME UP AND KICKED YOUR ASS! SO I GUESS I’LL HAVE TO DO IT INSTEAD!!!” The enraged DJ screams as he chases after you. She giggles and hiccups, “You... ALL got me a drink? Best... guards... EVER!” She fist pumps and falls backwards out of her seat. Zecora Looks at the objects that you placed before her. “Such fascinating things to see, are these curios you have brought before me.” she picks up the coin first. “This does not come from equestria, and It may even be older than Celestia.” She moves on to the dagger. “Ancient Griffish, I believe, a common tool for bandits and thieves.” she moves to examine the flower, and she gasps she turns to you. “This bloom is exceedingly rare! The place you found this, I must know where!” Spitfire Looks over at Soarin, who appears to have become distracted by something shiny. “I’d love to, but We really need to practise early tomorrow... But I’m free next thursday. So maybe we can do it then.” “Okay,” he says, walking away. (In order to get much better than that the next time, you’re going to have to interact with him more. No worries) Derpy was looking at her hooves, with tears streaming down her face. “I broke something again. I was doing so good, and then I broke something.” “I can’t now.” The Spotted Guard says curtly. “I’m on duty tonight.” His eyes shift towards you and he notices you aren’t giving up and leaving. He smiles. “I don’t get off until 3 AM, but you’re welcome to stay up if you want to.” Luna thinks for a moment. “I do not know... There are simply so many things to choose from...” She looks around, trying to make a decision. finally, she points to the ring toss. “There! I Desire to do that first!” As you walk toward the booth, you notice that the surrounding crowd has grown quieter, then, after a moment, you start to hear voices. “Is that Princess Luna?” “It’s Princess Luna!” “What’s the Princess doing here?” “I wonder if I could get her autograph!” “She’s with that guy? No way!” Luna seems oblivious to the attention she is receiving. You arrive at the ring toss stand and Luna taps on the counter. “yeah yeah, I’ll be right-” The bored looking carney turns, noticing for the first time who is at her booth. Her mouth drops open. “P-p-p-princess! I am honored that you would grace my humble game with your presence...” Luna waves a hoof dismissively. “Please, Please, there is no need for such formalities.” “Like tartarus there isn’t” you hear Bruce mutter. “How much to play?” Luna finishes, ignoring her vassal. “For you and your companion, Princess? No charge.” the carney looks at you. “Lucky punk.” “I’ll say.” Bruce adds. “That is unacceptable I insist that you treat me the same as any other pony.” Luna commands. “I... I couldn’t...” “The Princess has given you an order! Peasant! Even If I do not agree, you WILL do as she says!” “That is enough Bruce.” Luna Scolds. One of the girls directs you to lay down in one of the baths. The other one throws some bathing salts and herbs into the water. Afterwards they both sit there, occasionally adding things into the water. Lyra blushes at your attention.. “well, I’m not busy now, In fact, I was just on my way to the park to play for a while. you want to tag along?” Spike rushes after you, but stops suddenly when he reached\s the top of the hill. The color drains from his scales. “Oh no.” She nods, “A walk would be nice.” She gestures for you to lead the way and follows, “So, what do you do for a living, Alex?”

I'd Hit you with your own hand repeatedly and say "Stop hitting yourself" each time.

(And now comes the part where I join in as a Player!) Page Turner and Captain Blue make their way along the island until they find a suitable rock. The captain sits, and Page joins him silently. After a moment of Silence, The Captain Speaks. “Young man, You saved my life back there, I owe you a Debt.” “Well, I wouldn’t Say-.” Page starts “I would.” The Captain cuts him off. “If there is anything you want, if it is within my power to give, It is yours.” "I wish to be made a member of your crew.” Page states. The captain looks surprised. “Done, but is that all?” “Well, there is one other thing...” "Name it." Page takes a deep breath. "What I... What I really want is your daughter's hoof." There is a moment of silence. Page squeezes his eyes shut in anticipation of the inevitable... Laughter? He opens his eyes to see that The captain is indeed laughing heartily. "My boy, I would be Honored to call you my son in law, But My Briny's Hoof is Not mine to give away. I can only give you my blessing, and wish you the best of luck in winning her heart." Page jumps to his hooves. "You really mean it? Oh thank you so much! You have no Idea how much this means to me!" "Actually I think I do." The captain says. "I was in love once too." ~Later~ Page Arrived back at the campsite and found Briny. He sat down next to her. "Ahoy there, First mate, I just spoke with the Captain, and he agreed to name me a member of the crew. So are there any tasks that you would like me to perform?"

Is this the Part where I say something Clever and then Apologise for how late the replies are? Sorry. Have some Replies. AJ seems to pick up on your melancholy. “Sugarcube? Is everything alright? Y’all know Y’all can tell me anything’ Don't Cha?” “Uh oh.” Spitfire’s Voice comes from behind you. You spin around to see Spitfire behind you. “Looks Like you’re seeing double.” Suddenly you find yourself surrounded by Daring Do’s. “What can I say? I’m nothing without my stunt team.” Spitfire says. “I dunno... Ain’t that The Captain o’ that other ship? Ain’t he s’posed ta be dead? I’d better rouse the Capt-” The Pirate is suddenly cut off by the crack of a throwing knife smacking into his forehead “Ow.” The Pirate says, and then he crumples to the ground. You look over at your companions. Daring’s hoof is still extended. “You killed him?” Captain Blue asks Daring. “No, he’s only unconscious. I got him with the blunt end. We should go though. Somepony else might have heard that.” Daring Replies. “Just as soon As I retrieve my knife.” She trots over to the unconscious pony and picks up her knife, which she stows back in her tail. She then hops into the boat, quickly followed by the Captain. you join them and help lower the boat into the water. “Alright Then,” Says Gilda, “You Distract The DJ, And I’ll Grab the Records, Wait until a break in the... Music.” She shakes her head. “Pah. These Dweebs wouldn’t know Real music if it came up and bit their Lame Butts. Whatever. Let’s go.” “Hey! Whatcha Doin’?” Surprise says, Suddenly and soddenly appearing behind you, wrapped up in a Purple Towel. “Oh! What’s that? Lemme See!” She Dives to the Floor and retrieves the crumpled paper. She flicks it open and starts to read it... She blushed and shook his hoof, “Yes, well... Now what?” she asks him, “If you say the toothpaste factory we’re going to have problems.” (That’s my warning. The dentists messes with teeth all day. The last thing she needs is to sit through a guide talking about teeth.) He sighs, “In-law. Be embarassed if anypony saw him. Sorry, I’m gunna have to do this one myself.” He plunders off. “Thanks...? So, are you here to buy candy...?” You can tell in the silence that you’re supposed to insert your name. Rarity Momentarily freezes when you say ‘Secret Organization’ but she quickly recovers. “Oh my. How Rediculous! Ha ha.” She takes the note and reads it. “Apparently this Mystery Pony wants to meet me in his Compartment, I suppose I should go over there And let him know he has the wrong Mare. Yes, That’s the reason I’m going. The one and only reason. Keep an Eye on Sweetie Belle for me would you?” Without waiting for your answer, she darts off down the train. “She’s up to something.” Sweetie Belle notes. “She gets like this whenever she wants to hide something.” She stands up. “Well only one thing to do. Let’s follow her!” -The Next Evening- You are standing near the entrance to the Carnival waiting For Luna when you hear a commotion. “It’s the Princess!” One Pony Says. “What’s she Doing here?” Says another. Similar chatter breaks out all around as a loud voice Calls out. “Make way For the Princess of the Night! Make way For Princess Luna!” And then you see her, She is being led by a pair of Bat Pony Guards who are parting the crowd in front of their Mistress. “Make Room!” one calls in a voice you recognize as the one you heard a moment ago. “The Princess of the Night requires the space you currently occupy so that She may Pass!” Luna Rolls Her eyes. “Honestly, Bruce, I was hoping not to make a scene.” “Nonsense you’re majesty, Thou art the Princess of the Night.” “So you keep announcing. Thou might desire to raise your voice, i do not think they heard you in the Crystal Empire.” “And as Such,” Bruce continued as though he had not been interrupted, “A scene would have Taken place regardless. “Thou are certainly not helping matters.” “I am simply performing my royal duty as the captain of thy Personal guard.” “A duty which you perform admirably, however, I assure you that I am capable of taking care of myself.” “I have no doubt. However, My duty remains.” The Princess and her guards Finally come to a stop in front of you. “Good Evening.” Luna Says. “I apologize, I was able to convince my sister to allow me to go out, However, She insisted I Bring Protection. Apparently she’s been having some trouble with changelings lately.” “Princess! watch what you divulge to this stranger! He himself may be a changeling.” “I doubt that greatly. We agreed to meet here yesterday at the Castle. If He was a changeling, I would have detected it then.” “Well, firsht we have you soak in a hot tub to a loosen your muscles. Then, we give you a massage, yes? Then we do some general care for your skin, and then you crear to leave.” One of them gestures you to the door. Spitfire Grins. “Don’t apologize, That was a lot of fun. We should get attacked by teenage dragons again sometime.” Dash just groans and pulls a blanket of cloud over her head. “Actually, I do have to slow down to sleep. According to Twilight, I’m so fast all the time I burn energy faster than most other Ponies do, which is why I eat so much and take so many naps. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to keep going.” She says. (more below) Cloud Pouts. “What? You think I’m not attractive?” you open your mouth to defend yourself, but she cuts you off. “No, no, I was kidding.” She says. “Seriously though. Good luck with Dash. And Don’t worry about me, I can get another roommate easy.” (I’m just going to reply to you as Cloud, What happens with Dash can be seen Below. But you get 1/2 point for being present) Dash turns to glare at you. Then she rolls her eyes, turns over and stretches. She Stands to her full Height. “Okay, fine, I’m up. Now let’s Fly!” (Being A Griffon: -.5 Waking her up: -1 Issuing a challenge: +3 Post Score: 1.5 Total Score: 5.5) “This is great! The Elephants remembered me from last time, the Lions loved the meat cupcakes I tossed them (Don’t tell the zookeeper), and The Monkeys tried to throw poop at me! This is the greatest trip to the zoo EVER!” Then she looks at you. “Oh hey, What’s wrong? You look tired.” “Oh.” Trixie says nonchalantly. “Look who decided to show up. Would you like to have dinner before or after Trixie puts you in your place?” (Don't get discoraged, I'm sure she'll warm up to you eventually. Maybe...) She looks out at the sky and sighs, “Eyah.” Just then, the bar she was leaning on breaks and she begins to fall forwards towards the window. “Ah Don't Think Ah’ve ever seen a ship so Fancy!” She says. “This place is like a Miniature flyin’ Canterlot!” Spike smiles. “Lead the way.” YOu take the lead and start walking. After a minute, Spike speaks up. “You’re wrong About Rarity.” You Stop. So does he. “What?” You ask. “About her being selfish. She’s not. If she let me eat all the gems I wanted, She’d have none left to share with everypony. So really, the only selfish one is me.” He blushes and seems to deer-and-headlight when Applejack comes. “I need some help with the west orchard,” she says embarrassedly. “Eyep,” Big Mac says, walking with Applejack. You get te feeling he’s going to be occupied all afternoon. As you are walking down the street, you suddenly hear a strange noise, thike the repeated growl of a creature you can’t identify. you turn towards the sound, trying to locate its source, only to be bowled over by a brown stallion. the two of you tumble for a ways then come to a stop With The Stallion Laying on top of you. He smiles awkwardly. “Oh, Hello.” He says in a Trottingham accent. “Sorry, I didn’t see you there. In a bit of a rush.” He Disentangles himself from you and stands up. “Now I really must be going...” He runs into an alleyway. Curiosity piqued, you decide to follow. When you catch up with him he is standing at a dead end, staring at the wall. He looks back at you as you approach. “Ah. Hello again.” He nods toward the empty wall. “It seems my ride has gone off without me.” “Oh, gee, I don’t know” Fluttershy turns her head so that her hair falls between you and her face, and she pokes at the ground with her hoof. “I really don’t think I’d make very good company, are you sure you wouldn't rather ask somepony else?” She giggles and hiccups, “I’m *hiccup* fine, but I think *hic* you and yer... buddy clone thingies- aren’t here to often.” She giggles again and continues to drink. After a few moments the door opens. “My, My, My, What have we here? One who roams the forest without fear? Come inside, If you so wish. I have just prepared a tasty Dish.” She Steps Aside to allow you access.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting far too long for: Replies! The Stallion looks around cautiously. “I’ve said too much already. Just tell her what I said, oh. and give her this.” He passes you a note containing what appears to be a random jumble of numbers, letters and pictograms. “As for the train, It should be moving again in...” He pulls out a watch. “3... 2... 1... Now.” The train starts moving. “Go back to her quickly. and consider this. If I’m wrong, then so are they.” And just like that, He’s gone. Spike Shrugs. “Twilight does all kinds of weird stuff. You get used to it,” He says. His eyes light up when you mention gems. “Yeah! That sounds great! I help Rarity search for gems all the time, Of course she never lets me eat them...” Vinyl Sighs. “Yeah, I was A little Bi-Curious. For quite a while actually...” Spitfire Flies at you. “Who are you calling soft?” When she hits you, it’s quite hard indeed. “But If you aren’t going to fight back, That will just make it easier for me!”She turns to Vinyl. “Hey there. How’s life?” She nods towards you. “He seems nice.” She lifts you up and tosses you into a nearby wall.She approaches you as you stumble to your feet. she grabs you by the collar “You really think you can stand a chance against a wonderbolt, bro?” She reels back and hits you so hard you fly a good four feet. “Some competition you are.”You look up and see her walking away. She’s done with you, or at least she thinks she is... Octavia raised an eyebrow (Figuratively. You know what I mean.). “If my solo is all it takes to pique your interests in actual music, I should find myself wondering about the strength of your mind,” she replies, though it is obvious that she’s flattered, both by your compliment and recognition. (nothing I can do about this. Meta Doesn’t have Doc Powers anymore, so he’s going to have to reply to this as an independent Post.) Gilda puts a talon to her beak. Well, It wouldn’t be very cool to get kicked out... aww what the heck, this party’s lame anyway. What kind of Chaos do you have in mind?” “Hear what?” Thump “Oh. That.” Crash! “I think It’s getting closer...” Suddenly, A giant Scorpion Comes into view, clearing trees out of it’s path with giant Claws. “Well. That Doesn’t look very friendly.” The Scorpion monster stops and seems to survey it’s surroundings. then it suddenly turns and charges straight at you, one of it’s massive claws reaching out to grab you by the neck... ((Being Understanding: +1 Post score: +1 Total Score: 5)) Captain Blue is already there when you find the boat. He helps you to quietly load your supplies onto it. “Where’s Daring?” you whisper to him. “She said she Had to go find a few other things,” He whispers back. Meanwhile, Daring slowly eased the door open and peeked inside tentatively. Captain Pinkbeard was asleep, face down on his mahogany desk, his voluminous beard spread out over his maps and charts. Daring sighs inwardly. She opens the door the rest of the way and sneaks slowly into the captain’s cabin. Her eyes move quickly, scanning for- There! an open trunk filled with various articles of clothing. she made her way slowly over to it, at one point, she stepped on a board that creaked, and froze in terror when the captain grunted in response. she stood there for nearly a minute, waiting to make sure the pirate hadn’t woken up. then she resumed her slow crawl to the trunk. when she finally reached it she was relieved to see her vest sitting on the top of the pile. Being very careful not to make too much noise, Daring stripped off her dress and placed it in the trunk, ‘I won’t be needing that anymore,’ she thought. then she picked up her vest and put it on. ‘there we go, I’m starting to feel like my old self again, now where’s my- Ah.’ Her pith helmet was hanging from a rack a little to her left. ste turned slowly towards it and reached out. grabbing it from the hook and dropping it on her head. ‘now to get out of here without getting caught...’ She turned and began walking back the way she had come. as she passed Pinkbeard passed out over his desk, she noticed something. the map she had found in the grotto. She altered her course. afyter a few more tense moments, she found herself next to Pinkbeard’s desk. she quickly scooped up the map and stowed it under one of her wings. she was about to leave, when she noticed a quill sitting next to a blank sheet of parchment. ‘well, as long as I’m here...’ She slid the parchment in front of her and began to write. “Dear Captain Pinkbeard. Thank you for your hospitality, but I am afraid that this bird must fly away now. Thank you for the map, and I sincerely hope that we shan’t meet again. Yours Truly, Daring Do. : ) P.S. Your beard looks stupid.” When she had finished the letter, she slowly made her way to the door, which she closed silently behind her. ---- “Where have you been?” Captain Blue grumps when Daring finally appears. “Well, we’d have a rough time finding the treasure without the map, wouldn’t we?” Daring replies. “Besides, I go nowhere without my pith helmet. Now come on, let’s get this boat in the water.” Suddenly, a pirate appears on the other side of the deck and spots you. “Hey! What’s going on over there?” “Aww. Horseapples.” Daring Curses. (I did some basic editing to your post. It’s not really what I’m supposed to do, but it now shows how I interpreted it. Also, it makes sense, the sentences aren’t run-ons, and conveys a sense that the person who typed it is in high school. IE, it isn’t making whatever OCD sense I have with these things go nuts) Lyra looked you over and giggled, “You’re a cute one, aren’t you. I’m sure Bon Bon’ll be down any minute, probably to stop me from talking too much and disturbing the customers. I’m Lyra!” She holds out a hoof for him to shake. Luna Does not Respond to you. “Guards!” She calls. A pair of Dark coated royal guards Appeared at Her side. “Please Escort Mr. Grin to his chamber.” She turns back to you. “We shall discuss your first assignment in detail shortly. but it must wait until we are done here. “Um your majesty?” One of the guards speaks up. “Are we supposed to take him to the good chamber or the bad chamber? “The Newly Refurbished Chamber.” Luna replies. “... Wait which one are we talking about?” The second guard asks. “The one that used to be the bad chamber, until the recent refurbishing, that is.” Celestia chimes in. “of course, we’ve been calling it the new chamber, but we really should number them...” Luna Rolls her eyes. “Yes, yes, Sister. Ahem. Take him to the refurbished chamber that was once bad!” ((You flew away before Dash could respond, so I’m just going to skip to the score.

What now?” You didn’t actually interact with Derpy, so... she’s still wandering away from you. At some point, she stops in front of a window and starts staring at the sky. “Oooh, pretty...” Soarin looks around angrily, “I think he’s cruisin’ for a bruisin’. Nopony walks in and just puts the beat down on ponies, especially the PIE ponies. That’s just... just cruel!” Garble Glares Back at you. “I’m wrecking the place. What are you gonna do about it Pony? Friend Me to death?” “I think this one needs a more Hooves-On Approach” Spitfire says. He didn’t really drop apples. In fact, it seemed as if when he did drop apples, it was on purpose. “Err... Don’t know...” He was beginning to blush. “Y’all needed your rest.” AJ says. “besides, I tried to wake ya, but y’all were really out of it, So I decided just ta’ let it be.” When you buck the tree she looks at the single apple that fell out. “Oh, Ah missed one! Thanks.” She Picks it up and puts it in one of the buckets. “An’ as fer Big Mac. He’s shy around other ponies, but around family he tends ta open up more.” You think about that for a moment, and realize that it means that Big Macintosh is beginning to think of you as family. “Now, How about helpin’ me load these here buckets onto the cart?” “Well, Yeah.” Flitter Says. “Today was supposed to be our day, But then she suddenly wants to hang out with some Colt I’ve never heard of.” She looks you over thoughtfully. “Although now that you’re here I can see why.” You are about to say something. when Cloudchaser appears. “Alright, I’m here.” She says. Oh. I see you two have already met. “ “Yep!” Flitter replies. “Sorry I’m late, My roommate needed to talk to me about moving out. Well, I guess that makes him my ex roommate now...” When you exit the library the next day, the first thing you see is Discord dressed in a fancy suit made entirely out of Hay Bacon Strips. He waves when he sees you. “There you are!” He pulls a strip off his coat and offers it to you. “Want some Hay Bacon?” Cloudchaser Looks up at you as you enter. Oh, Hi, Jordo, What’s up? I have to meet my Sister and some guy I met yesterday at sugarcube corner in five minutes. If I’m not on time Flitter’s going to start flirting with him again...” “It’sa fine,” comes a slight japonyese accent. “You wanta in one hour? Okay, uhwhat is your name?” It would appear to be Lotus who answered, as Aloe was in the back. The door flies open almost instantly, and a pair of pink hooves pull you into the room. “Yay! You’re here! I was just about to come and find you!” as you are pulled inside you notice a single chair situated right in front of the doorway surrounded by empty cupcake wrappers. you wonder just how long she’s been waiting there. “So now that you’re here whaddya wanna do first?” After a while Surprise’s eyes slowly drift open. they find you and she smiles. then suddenly her yeys widen and she releases you from her grip. “Omygosh. I am so sorry, I shouldn’t have told you to keep your hooves to yourself and then not keep my Hooves to myself! Ohmygosh I feel like such a terrible awful Pony!” “Fortunately, I believe that I can convince my sister to allow me a break from my royal duties for one day. If so I shall meet you at this fairground. If I am unable to then I shall send word to your place of residence. I hope that I can see you then.” (okay,before I reply to this, why are you assuming that Trixie is in Ponyville? why would she be in ponyville? She wouldn’t be. So let’s just spin the wheel of random towns and say that you’re in... Baltimare. I’ll substitute Sugarcube corner for something else, let’s say... Rosemary’s bakery. Why not? okay. with that out of the way...) Trixie looks at you with calculated disdain. “What makes you think that you could possibly keep up with the amazing magic of the Great and Powerful Trixie?” She asks haughtily. “You are quite presumptuous. However, because the Great and Powerful Trixie is Feeling Generous, She shall meet you as requested. Now begone. Trixie needs her rest.” (Reply Denied Because you failed to respond to the interest renewal PM last month. Please Re-submit your application if you wish to continue getting replies.)

Oh My Gosh! Replies! Actual Replies! "Well, I get off work in five minutes, but... Uh..." he shrugs, "What's good with you? I'm sure I could get AJ to let me free early. Most of the fields are bucked anyhoo." There were none, Celestia Accepted the fake morningstar without question, and nodded to her guards. A ring of keys was tossed on the ground, and Celestia and her guards left. as soon as they were gone, you feel the changeling magic leave you. you go to retrieve the keys, and begin unlocking the cages. “Hey. I’m talkin’ ‘a you. What’s the matter?” The guard says gruffly. when you don’t answer the guard groans. “What? you can yell fo’me but ‘cha caint tell me what’s wrong now I’m here?” Vinyl freezes in her tracks. “The Captain of... oh dear.” Suddenly Rainbow Dash is there. “Yeah! Isn’t it great? They filmed in ghastly gorge for the last one, and they saw Ponyville, And decided to use it as the town as a backdrop for this one! It’s so exciting! Last time Spitfire herself wasn’t here, to dangerous in ghastly gorge, So this is gonna be my first time seeing her in costume in person! It’ll be like meeting both of my heroes at once! that’s like, 200% cooler!” “Yeah yeah, That’s nice, Rainbow Dash.” Vinyl tugs on your foreleg. “C’mon, we need to get out of here before she-” “Well, well well, Paradox.” you suddenly find yourself nose to nose with Daring Do herself, Spitfire’s coat and mane have been dyed to match the famous adventurer. “I thought I was going to have to come find you, but now you came right to me!” “-sees us.” Vinyl finishes weakly. “Dox, meet Spitfire, My second Evil Ex.” (Note: The above reply takes place at an earlier time than this one) “Well I don’t like to brag, But I do love being Daring Do. Even if the Cutie Mark Patch does itch.” She glances over at Soarin, who, as was previously stated, 'looked giddier than a fat foal on Halloween.' He had managed to eat the whole thing in one big chomp. “Whoa there, big fella, Slow down. You’re going to get too fat to fly!” She tells him. "She says that every time," Soarin tells Jesse under his breath, "And I'm still able to do all the flips and kicks to make a crowd scream." Even so, he did slow down a bit. Applejack is waiting for you when you arrive. “Well. Yer lookin’ sharp.” Applejack says. She looks pretty amazing herself. Her main and tail have been braided, and she is sporting a lovely brown and green dress. (It’s her gala dress, but your character wouldn’t know that) She turns to Meta. “Alright then, How exactly are we gettin’ on board this airship ‘o yours?” (Try making a poem and an ad for Applejack with the knowledge that you can fail) (Ya know, you’re replies don’t have to be epic-length every time) (You’re complaining? Be glad it’s not a one-liner!) “Quiet you.” Daring said grumpily. Stripping out of the frilly number with distaste. Once it was off she looked down at herself. “ugh, now I just feel naked.” “well, you are naked.” you point out helpfully, Trying very hard not to let your eyes wander. Daring puts the dress back on. “I guess I’ll have to live with it until I get my vest and hat back. in the meantime, what should we do to pass the time until everypony on the ship goes to sleep?” she looks over at you. “No we are not doing THAT, so wipe that grin off your face.” You wipe the grin off your face and try not to look too disappointed. Apparently your disappointment shows through anyway, as daring rolls her eyes. “Oh alright, I suppose you’ve earned a little something, but if I say ‘Stop’ and you don’t stop, you’re dead.” ~One Cuddle Later Daring Smoothes down her tousled mane. “Well. That happened.” She says. Pulling the Frilly Dress back on. “It should be safe to move now. You head to the mess and get some supplies, And I’ll Go find The captain and meet you at the longboats.” Discord makes a face “bleh. Libraries. I’ve never liked those, everything is always so... tidy.” he shakes his head. “Anyway, I’ll see you then, just...” He leans in close. “Put a few of those books in the wrong section for me while you’re there.” “Yeah, It was super easy because you were asleep!” Pinkie says. “you taste like snozberries, which makes sense because you were snoozing, which sounds alot like ‘snozberry’ without the ‘berry’ a ‘snoozeberry if you will.” “as for what day it is, it is exactly 24 hours since you fell asleep, you lost a day, but that’s the price of the special cupcake! ” “we should totally hang out again! maybe next time you can see what I taste like! although, you said you were allergic to strawberries, but i’m not an ACTUAL strawberry. at least, I don’t think I am, so it should be fine.” You wake up unable to move. After a moment you realize that it is because Surprise seems to have wrapped herself around you in her sleep. So much for her wanting you to keep your hooves to yourself. She lets out a cute little moan, and you find yourself wondering what she’s dreaming about. "Nope," he says, as he continues to walk away. He stops however, and turns, "But you could help me by picking up apples that drop if you'd like." He then resumes walking away, towards SAA. When you arrive at Sugarcube Corner, You see a Pony who looks remarkably similar to Cloudchaser sitting at one of the tables, . She looks up at you and smiles as you approach. “Well, Hello there, Handsome. You must be the guy Cloudy picked up. My name’s Flitter.” "Dance? But... I thought we were gunna learn how to walk first," she says, turning around confusedly. She wandered away from him towards the edge of the dance floor. The Driver looks up at you crossly. “My heart bleeds for ya buddy, really, but your Mare’s problems ain’t gonna make this train change it’s mind about being broken.” he shoos you away. “The best thing you can do is leave me alone and let me work on it.” You sigh and begin making the trip back to your car. before you get there though, you are stopped by a grey stallion in a business suit. “You there, yes, you, I need to talk to you.” You approach the stranger, unsure of what to expect. once you are close enough for him to whisper to you without being overheard, he does so. “It’s about that mare you’re with.” “You mean Rarity?” “Is that what she’s going by these days?” He shakes his head. “Anyway, I think she may be in danger. I represent a secret organization set up by princess Luna 1000 years ago, Our purpose is to monitor and neutralize threats from within equestria.” he smiles. “Ironically,the first big threat we had to face after our formation was Her Royal Highness Luna herself. This mare that you know as Rarity is a member of our organization, on permanent assignment to keep an eye on Celestia’s protégé.” Gilda Doesn’t seem to be listening all that closely, about halfway through your story she cuts you off “Yeah, yeah, yeah, on second thought, I don’t really care about the past. I’m more of a ‘live in the now’ Kind of gal, Ya know? so shut up and dance.” "Yep? Sorreh, I'm just thinkin'," he says, turning his attention back to the room. "She ain't expectin' us er anythin', so you rest on up, okay?" “He just Showed up One Day,” Dash says. “He asked me for a date, and I asked him why. He said he wanted to get to know me. It was the first time a Stallion wanted me for something other than some kind of prize. Like he didn’t want me, He wanted me. Does that make any sense?” ((Complementing her Skills: +1 Expressing interest in her Life: +1 Post Score: +2 Total Score: 4)) (note: this reply refers to events that have not yet played out.) Upon Closer inspection, Rainbow dash looks a little roughed up. “Tomorrow morning?” She repeats, “I don’t know, I just had a fight with a Scorpio and I’m dead tired. If you want we could hang out in the afternoon instead.” ((Going for her competitive spirit: +3 Being a griffon (which reminds her of Gilda): -1 Choosing a bad time to approach: -1 Post Score: 1 Total Score: 1)) Twilight Smiles. “So, you’re ready for the next one? wait there.” Twilight goes upstairs. “Spike!” she calls. “Send it!.” You hear a burst of dragon fire, Followed by a long silence. finally, the sound repeats, and twilight comes back downstairs levitating a slightly scorched scroll in front of her. “Alright She’s ready for you. meet her in the park next to the statue of Smart Cookie.” “Y’know.” A slow, deep voice says. “It might be easier if Ya take the breaks off first.” You Turn to see Big Macintosh climbing out of the apple Cellar. “Breaks?” you repeat. “Eeyup. Keeps the cart from rollin’ away while it’s unattended.” Big Mac Reaches a Hoof around one of the wheels and presses a little lever behind it. “There. You’ll find that it’ll be much more cooperative now.” Sure enough, The cart now moves easily. feeling very stupid, you head into the orchard to meet Applejack. as you go, It occurs to you that You’ve never heard Big Mac talk so much at one time. You decide to ask AJ about it. Speaking of AJ... “Well, Good Mornin’ Sugarcube. Glad to See ya.” Your bride-to-be says cheerfully. She doesn’t seem to mind that you missed the first half of the day. (You can complain when you write it all on a DSi) “Skyline? As in, the colt who won the contest? Oh...” she looks you over cautiously, “You do look like a pony Vinyl would send... I’m Octavia.” She takes your hoof, shaking it firmly once, then letting it drop, “Co-host of Vinyl’s on K-COLT, before, during, and after her break down. But of course, you knew that, I’m sure.” Looking around she plasters on a fake smile, “Now lets get out of here before Beauty-” Suddenly, there came a loud noise, and Beauty Brass came trotting through the backstage. Octi was wrapped in a big hug before she could finish her sentence. “WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE OCTI! YOU DID SO WELL!” “Thanks Beauty, I-” “WHO’S THIS?” “His name is Skyline. He won-” “HI SKYLINE! DID YOu hear the solo?” Beauty seemed to be noticing the amount of looks she was getting. Welp, there’s now two mares. How will you respond? “Ya, ya, I’m coming,”came a noise from inside. A shorter, tealish pony with a lyre cutie mark who was distinctly not Bon Bon opened the door. “What can I do for you?” Celestia and Luna both stare at you for a long moment before they both burst into fits Laughter. “My little pony, what sort of ruler do you take me for? Beheading? Hanging? such punishments are only for the most serious of crimes! And while piracy is not to be ignored, taking such actions would be barbaric! but the question remains, what shall we do with you?” She turns to Luna. “What do you think, dear sister?” Luna is quiet for a moment as she stares at you intensely. We say he should be banished, and put in a dungeon in the place to which we banish him.” Luna States. Celestia nods. “I agree, now-” “Unless,” Luna cuts her sister off. “Unless what, Dear sister?” Celestia asks, sounding genuinely surprised. “It is just that We have recollected something, We may have use for a pony with skills such as these.” “Surely you do not refer to-” “Indeed I do.” Luna turns to you. “Crimson Grinn, You are known to us. Stories of your exploits have reached our ear, you are strong, brave, and tenacious. your ability to evade capture incredible.” She smiles for the first time. “And we would like you to work for us.”
