Expiry: Never

  1. 1.
    >Day not in Equestria, we can’t stop in bat country.
  2. 2.
    >Be Anon watching the sun shine on the ocean from the back deck.
  3. 3.
    >Tequila in hand, this is the life.
  4. 4.
    >Door knocking interrupts your happy time.
  5. 5.
    >This would be the life, but it was a short lived delusion.
  6. 6.
    >Time for another annoyance to start the day, it’ll never end.
  7. 7.
    >Always something with these ponies.
  8. 8.
    >Swing the door dramatically.
  9. 9.
    “The answer is still no! Wait.”
  10. 10.
    >Standing beyond the precipice, the previous banes of your life stare back at you.
  11. 11.
    >Jaws gaping, eye twitching, and all frozen stiff.
  12. 12.
    >The main six mares from Ponyville are somehow here on this island in the middle of the ocean.
  13. 13.
    >Dash recovers first.
  14. 14.
    >”Bucking shitstorm! Anon! You’re here!?”
  15. 15.
    >Slam the door in their face, and try to turn around to run.
  16. 16.
    >Too late.
  17. 17.
    >Pinkie Pie appeared behind you and has tackled you into a hug.
  18. 18.
    >Rolling backwards from the impact, you both land amongst the worst ponies you know.
  19. 19.
    >”You big old meanie! You ran off without telling any pony!”
  20. 20.
    “That was the idea you menace. Get off me!”
  21. 21.
    >Fluttershy has taken advantage of situation and has latched on to your back.
  22. 22.
    >Babbling nonsense about missing you and shit.
  23. 23.
    >She’s already starting to leak all over you with her tears.
  24. 24.
    >Applejack and Twilight are pissed.
  25. 25.
    >”You blundering oaf. We looked everywhere for you. The princesses tried to scry your location. It’s been almost two years.”
  26. 26.
    >You try to wiggle your way out of this pony pretzel.
  27. 27.
    “I would have loved for it to stay that way. Get your mane out of my mouth. How did you find me?”
  28. 28.
    >Twilight grabs you by the collar.
  29. 29.
    >”Bucking idiot, do you have any idea what nonsense you’ve caused?”
  30. 30.
    >”Anon?”
  31. 31.
     
  32. 32.
    >The new voice stops the whinnying from the herd of mares on top of you.
  33. 33.
    >”Anon, who are these strange ponies roughing you up?”
  34. 34.
    “Screw off, Lucky. I have my hands full.”
  35. 35.
    >Lucky, the confused Chiroptera, is holding a new basket of fruit and flowers in her weird wing hands.
  36. 36.
    >Dash as always, is the first to let loose without a filter.
  37. 37.
    >”Sorry bat lady, this knucklehead disappeared from home without a reason given. We’re all pretty upset.”
  38. 38.
    >“I ain’t a bat, bird. Now get your mitty hooves off my Heeeeman.”
  39. 39.
    >Bloody hell that annoying voice.
  40. 40.
    >Fluttershy can’t help herself as she squeezes you.
  41. 41.
    >”What do you mean your hueman!? He’s always been my Anon.”
  42. 42.
    >Push down as hard as you can to slide out of your pony burrito.
  43. 43.
    >Only for Lucky to yank you away and by her side.
  44. 44.
    >”I’ve been successfully courting him since he came to this island. When did you Mainlanders get here?”
  45. 45.
    >Fluttershy grits teeth and is ready to get it on with this newcomer.
  46. 46.
    >Only for Twilight to marehandle her with a little bit of magic.
  47. 47.
    >”I do apologize, some of us are still in absolute shock that ANON is still alive. We came to this island under guidance for a different issue via teleportation and came upon him by happen-chance.”
  48. 48.
    >Your new Fluttershy glares at old Fluttershy.
  49. 49.
    >”I’m Lucky Roll, a Chiroptera. Given your dark coat you must be Princess Luna.”
  50. 50.
    >”Oh I’m not…”
  51. 51.
    >Blah, blah, blah.
  52. 52.
    >They introduce each other.
  53. 53.
    >You try to go back into your house, but Applejack stands between you and the door.
  54. 54.
    >”Our magic map told us there was a problem in this area that required all of our attention.”
  55. 55.
    “I knew I forgot about that stupid crystal map.”
  56. 56.
     
  57. 57.
    >Twilight with the ever pleasant diplomatic smile continues.
  58. 58.
    >”We’ll take Anon off your hooves as no doubt he is the cause of your troubles.”
  59. 59.
    “I refuse, and you can’t make me go back.”
  60. 60.
    >”Anon we’ve talked about this. You don’t have rights.”
  61. 61.
    “And you don’t have any sovereignty here.”
  62. 62.
    >”Not a problem, I’ll just ask Ms. Lucky over here who’s in charge and we’ll have this all sorted out. We can even open an embassy here to join our new group of ponies that we seem to be tripping over our hooves finding them.”
  63. 63.
    >Flared bat wings and a growl answers her quickly.
  64. 64.
    >”I thought I made myself clear that he’s mine. I’ve been diligently visiting him everyday.”
  65. 65.
    >Pinkie Pie hops around the group, you have not missed her.
  66. 66.
    >”Oh, oh, oh! Are you like Fluttershy where you have devolved your relationship to the point of slapstick antics and elaborate fetish guessing?”
  67. 67.
    >”N-no? What?”
  68. 68.
    >Fluttershy shrinks in embarrassment.
  69. 69.
    “She’s annoying in her own way.”
  70. 70.
    >Lucky rolls her eyes, with a dramatic flair she drapes a leather wing in front of her face.
  71. 71.
    >”I am a romantic who uses her natural talents of seduction to woo her Anon.”
  72. 72.
    >Jumping high, she throws open her wings like a dance queen.
  73. 73.
    >”With dance routines, moving romantic songs, and delicious mangos I have his heart.
  74. 74.
    >With a pointed glare at Fluttershy.
  75. 75.
    >”And his fetish will be me.”
  76. 76.
    >Dash, who had been rubbing her chin, lights up with knowledge.
  77. 77.
    >”Wait, I think I know you. Aren’t you that foreign popstar? I got your vinyl album. Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!!”
  78. 78.
    >”That’s me. That entire album was dedicated to Anon. In fact, I think I’ll show the dance that I did to impress him.
  79. 79.
    “Please don’t.”
  80. 80.
  81. 81.
     
  82. 82.
    >A thousand yard stare is your only response.
  83. 83.
    >The six mares around you are in various degrees of approval.
  84. 84.
    >Wait, wrong word.
  85. 85.
    >Arousal.
  86. 86.
    >Smell is going to be difficult to get out of your lawn.
  87. 87.
    >Fluttershy mumbles under her breath.
  88. 88.
    >”Buck, that’s good.”
  89. 89.
    >”See, I knew you were her.”
  90. 90.
    >Dash pulls a Pinkie and takes out her vinyl copy from her pride mane to get signed.
  91. 91.
    >Applejack’s muzzle scrunches as she watched her friend pay a bag of bits for a signature.
  92. 92.
    >”You liked that degenerate nonsense?”
  93. 93.
    “Don’t judge, I haven’t forgotten what you tried to do to me in your barn.”
  94. 94.
    >Rarity finally speaks up, you turn to see she’s been in your house.
  95. 95.
    >Shit, she’s been in your house.
  96. 96.
    >”My goodness Anon. You have quite a few outfits with local flair. A little slim for only two years. Oh, is this a grass skirt?”
  97. 97.
    “Get out of my home Rarity!”
  98. 98.
    >A yellow hoof tugs at your pants.
  99. 99.
    >”Can I see you in a grass skirt?”
  100. 100.
    “No.”
  101. 101.
    >”I have pictures.”
  102. 102.
    >Fluttershy jerks her head towards Lucky.
  103. 103.
    >”I won’t share.”
  104. 104.
    >Fluttershy glares as her hopes are dashed.
  105. 105.
    >”Hussy.”
  106. 106.
    >Twilight slaps her wings around Fluttershy’s mouth.
  107. 107.
    >”Chiroptera right? Equestria’s been looking for you in our mountains for a long time, and you’ve been here?”
  108. 108.
    >Lucky Roll tilts her head in confusion.
  109. 109.
    >”Mountains? We’ve always been islanders. Why would we even live in the mountains? Can’t grow fruit.”
  110. 110.
    “Well my morning has been ruined. I’m going into town so you all get stared at by the locals until you inevitably do something stupid to rile them up and drive you off the island. My bet is on Pinkie.”
  111. 111.
    >Pinkie ‘yippies’ as she bounces behind you.
  112. 112.
    >”Count on me for a fun time!”
  113. 113.
     
  114. 114.
    >Twilight teleports right next to you and follows along.
  115. 115.
    >”This is going to be exciting, a whole new town of ponies. Just like the kirin. How many islands are there?”
  116. 116.
    “Several. I crash landed here when I was leaving Equestria. Basically the same place.”
  117. 117.
    >The bat horse slinks up next to you with a sly grin.
  118. 118.
    >”And our lives have never been the same my sweet.”
  119. 119.
    “Seems my life hasn’t; new coat of paint, same nightmare.”
  120. 120.
    >Ever the theater kid, she dramatically presents her home town to the ponies.
  121. 121.
    >“Mainlanders, welcome to Samarea.”
  122. 122.
    >A horse pun for a Philippine island, reader.
  123. 123.
    >Anyway, cue musical swell as the camera Pinkie holds takes a wide shot.
  124. 124.
    >”Danna na na an.”
  125. 125.
    >The six mares gawk at the bustling town.
  126. 126.
    >Chattering chiroptera ponies bustle their wares and marine cetacea ponies wearing fish bowls full of water sell/shop at the fish market.
  127. 127.
    >A terrifying array of OC ponies everywhere.
  128. 128.
    >”Two pony races!?”
  129. 129.
    >Twilight shook her head in shock.
  130. 130.
    “Yeah, meet the echolocators. Neither of them will ever shut up.”
  131. 131.
    >With an enthusiastic ‘weeee’ Pinkie Pie darts ahead of the group to the center of town and takes out a megaphone.
  132. 132.
    >”Hey-o fellow ponies!”
  133. 133.
    >Silence reigned as every horse turned to the new weirdo into town.
  134. 134.
    >Chaos followed quickly.
  135. 135.
    >Chittering, clicking, yelling, the inhabitants converged on your location.
  136. 136.
    >Fluttershy starts to panic and grabs hold of your leg like a security blanket.
  137. 137.
    >”Anon, hey Anon! Who are your friends?”
  138. 138.
    >”Lucky Roll, did you woo him yet?”
  139. 139.
    >”Why do you have feathers? That seems uncomfortable.”
  140. 140.
    >”Nice horn, kind of like my narwhal cousins up north.”
  141. 141.
    >”Wow, you're so lacking in any appendages.”
  142. 142.
    >Applejack’s eye twitch as several islanders find the lack of any gimmick a gimmick.
  143. 143.
     
  144. 144.
    >”Citizens of Samerea.”
  145. 145.
    “No Twilight, it’s Samarea.”
  146. 146.
    >”That’s what I said.”
  147. 147.
    “You said it in that weird Canterlot accent you have.”
  148. 148.
    >”I know you’re trying to gaslight me. Citizens of Samaree.”
  149. 149.
    >Whatever.
  150. 150.
    >”My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, Princess of Friendship. These are my friends. We were brought here because a friendship problem came to our attention. Oh? Yes, you with the raised hoof.”
  151. 151.
    >”Did you bring any apples with you?”
  152. 152.
    >Twilight’s nose scrunches up, this was supposed to be a monumental occasion.
  153. 153.
    >Applejack’s eyes shined with energy.
  154. 154.
    >”Or pears, we aren’t picky.”
  155. 155.
    >Her joy was dashed expertly.
  156. 156.
    >”Mango Colada, stop teasing the apple mare. Sorry princess, continue.”
  157. 157.
    >You can’t help but sigh as you watch this play out.
  158. 158.
    >Lucky couldn’t pull Fluttershy off you, so she took a position around your shoulders.
  159. 159.
    >Twilight cleared her throat.
  160. 160.
    >”Right, so my magic spell led me directly to Anon, who was staying with us previously before took his sudden vacation.”
  161. 161.
    “Twilight, don’t bullshit them, I’ve already told them why.”
  162. 162.
    >She gives you a soft glare before an eye roll.
  163. 163.
    >”Anon, if they know you like we do, that you have a talent for spinning nonsense to mess with ponies.”
  164. 164.
    >Every single horse nod their heads in agreement.
  165. 165.
    >”That’s why I love him. He’s so dramatic.”
  166. 166.
    >Fluttershy growls at Lucky’s love proclamation.
  167. 167.
    >You don’t care.
  168. 168.
    >”Keep dancing little pony, ‘cause I’m the only one here that has ever kissed him anyway.”
  169. 169.
    >Oh, her.
  170. 170.
    >There is an audible snap as all the mainlanders jerk their attention to the pink cetacea pony.
  171. 171.
    >”Touched a nerve I see. Nice.”
  172. 172.
    >Dash zips up closer to the sea horse and points at you.
  173. 173.
    >”Cheek and forehead don't count, otherwise Pinkie would have won years ago. Rainbow Dash by the way, the awesome one.”
  174. 174.
     
  175. 175.
    >”I’m Ocean Mare. Also the awesome one.”
  176. 176.
    >Pinkie Pie pushes Dash out of the way with an accusatory hoof shake.
  177. 177.
    >”Cheater. You had to have cheated. Not even Fluttershy got to kiss Anon, and she tried to drug him with date rape.”
  178. 178.
    >”Pinkie no, don’t yell that out loud. Anon, tell us she’s lying her fat dorsal fin off.”
  179. 179.
    “Yeah, no Flutterbutter, when I crash landed in the ocean she saved my life. Gave me magical air to breathe, it required mouth to mouth.”
  180. 180.
    >Ocean had a shit-eating grin as she wiggled her tail.
  181. 181.
    >”Baby you were sucking me off harder than these bats suck tequila.”
  182. 182.
    “Dying does make a guy not think clearly. It never happened again.”
  183. 183.
    >The two hanger-ons pout, you don’t see it but you can feel the frowns.
  184. 184.
    >Rarity pipes up next.
  185. 185.
    >”Well, while we’re all gawking at each other.”
  186. 186.
    >Twilight groans and facehoofs as her plan to negotiate tactical friendship, and steal you back was getting delayed by her friend’s inane nonsense.
  187. 187.
    >Rarity points at your clothes.
  188. 188.
    >”Who’s been dressing this fine fellow in this lovely suit. Very well done, looks like it breathes in the ocean air.”
  189. 189.
    >Any old schmuck would think she’s going to talk shop.
  190. 190.
    >But you see that sparkle in her eye.
  191. 191.
    >She’s baiting.
  192. 192.
    >However, Dream Boat isn’t dumb.
  193. 193.
    >”Ho, ho, ho. Did the unicorn from the sun lands of Equestria come to learn my humble secrets.”
  194. 194.
    >Nutty bat did a noble laugh and covered her mouth with a wing.
  195. 195.
    >Rarity, just as much of a fake, took the challenge.
  196. 196.
    >”Well, Anon had such particular needs, I’m sure you love the opportunity to play with his build.”
  197. 197.
    >Quickly you bat away a wandering hoof from Fluttershy.
  198. 198.
    >”You mean play with his balls.”
  199. 199.
    >Applejack cut through their bullshit.
  200. 200.
     
  201. 201.
    >Both drama mares glare at the farm pony who already had enough.
  202. 202.
    >”Y’all two were just going to bloviate. You touched his balls. We know. We all know. You never shut up about wrapping your measuring tape every single time. You yappers.”
  203. 203.
    >Despite their protest, all the ponies around nod their heads in agreement.
  204. 204.
    >”Anon. Hey Anon. ‘Nonny.”
  205. 205.
    “What!?”
  206. 206.
    >Pinkie stops tugging at your pants and looks up with pleading eyes.
  207. 207.
    >”Who’s my equivalent?”
  208. 208.
    “Go jump in the volcano.”
  209. 209.
    >Twilight smacks you over the head.
  210. 210.
    >”She’ll do it. Pinkie, don’t listen to him.”
  211. 211.
    >”Oh, he’s talking about the pony that’s in charge of the volcano. She likes to make it blow up during parties.”
  212. 212.
    >Lucky helpfully points out.
  213. 213.
    >”I’m here actually.”
  214. 214.
    >The maudiest grey batpony is outside of the group that has joined in this fiasco.
  215. 215.
    >Pinkie looks back up to you with disappointment.
  216. 216.
    >”How’s she like me?”
  217. 217.
    “‘Cause, just like you and the rest of your family, she is also a walking mental disorder.”
  218. 218.
    >Unperturbed by your remarks, Pinkie bounces her way to the sister from another mister.
  219. 219.
    >”Turn that frown upside down, new friend. I’m Pinkie Pie and I party like no other.”
  220. 220.
    >”Ignimbrite. Or Brite if you prefer. Most do.”
  221. 221.
    >”Bright, like your smile?”
  222. 222.
    >Pinkie leads on hoping to see what resemblance you were referring to.
  223. 223.
    >Not even a crack in her visage.
  224. 224.
    >”Bright. Like my volcano.”
  225. 225.
    >She glances behind her at the smoking fire mountain.
  226. 226.
    >”She’s waiting for another date with Anon and I. By the way, you’re a virgin right? I could use a new sacrifice.”
  227. 227.
    >With a yelp, Pinkie pops up back at your side.
  228. 228.
    >”I see what you mean, Anon. She’s crazy.”
  229. 229.
    >Ignimbrite just blinks once.
  230. 230.
    >”Sorry. That was a joke.”
  231. 231.
    >”’Nonny is she joking?”
  232. 232.
    >You shrug.
  233. 233.
     
  234. 234.
    >Twilight mentally counted the interactions, seeing that all of her friends finally got their two bits in with whatever counterpart they had here.
  235. 235.
    >”Is everypony happy now?”
  236. 236.
    “No.”
  237. 237.
    >She doesn’t acknowledge your protest.
  238. 238.
    >”While this has been fascinating, I would really like to get to the bottom of the issue.”
  239. 239.
    >Purple princess pulls her friends closer to her side.
  240. 240.
    >”It was an ongoing task to integrate the human into society and it looks like that hasn’t really changed here as well. I imagine you all have similar stories as we do. Friendship is all about relationships, and I, a princess of Equestria, wish to open that to all of you. Our nation of ponies (and other creatures) to you.”
  241. 241.
    >That’s the gist of what she said, you zoned out most of her droning.
  242. 242.
    >”So who’s in charge anyway. You have a mayor?”
  243. 243.
    >Lucky Roll raises her wing hand.
  244. 244.
    >”I won the dance off so I’m the mayor of the island, but you want the queen of the sea. Like your Queen Celestia. She’s the head of our network of island nations. She’s always close by.”
  245. 245.
    “I hope so, she still has my boat.”
  246. 246.
    >Twilight frowns slightly at Celestia being called a queen, but doesn’t say anything about it.
  247. 247.
    >Dash snickers.
  248. 248.
    >”Really, dancing makes you mayor?”
  249. 249.
    “As opposed to making one your mayor because that’s her name.”
  250. 250.
    >Rarity huffs and nudges your side.
  251. 251.
    >”We vote for her thank you very much. She just happens to be the most qualified.”
  252. 252.
    >Ocean Mare bubbles aggressively at Dash.
  253. 253.
    >”Hey, that just means we all have a chance to lead the community. Anon tried. He even had the grass skirt.”
  254. 254.
    >Fluttershy titters at the thought.
  255. 255.
    >Rarity’s eyes sparkle as she realizes what all of your clothes are now.
  256. 256.
    “Not my brightest moment.”
  257. 257.
     
  258. 258.
    >”I want to see that later. For now, let’s meet your queen.”
  259. 259.
    >Twilight waved a wing at Lucky Roll to get her attention.
  260. 260.
    >”So do we need to travel to a bigger island?”
  261. 261.
    >Lucky Roll quickly shakes her head and points towards the back of the island.
  262. 262.
    “Oh no no. She’s here. She likes to play her new hobby.”
  263. 263.
    >The six mainlanders look at each other questioningly before following along.
  264. 264.
    >Town follows you all like a parade.
  265. 265.
    >At this point it might as well be, but you have your plans.
  266. 266.
    >You ain’t going back to Equestria.
  267. 267.
    >Never again.
  268. 268.
    >Just need the pink one to mess it up.
  269. 269.
    >One of the pinker dolphin ponies points at herself in confusion.
  270. 270.
    >Shake your head and gesture towards Pinkie.
  271. 271.
    >She ‘ahs’ in understanding, really don’t how she knows what you're thinking.
  272. 272.
    >Fluttershy peaks over your shoulder.
  273. 273.
    >”Oh that’s a nice airship.”
  274. 274.
    >Twilight agrees as it comes into view.
  275. 275.
    >”Yeah, that is a nice…ship. Anon.”
  276. 276.
    “Yes, princess.”
  277. 277.
    >”That’s Blueblood ship. Why is it here?”
  278. 278.
    “Oh you know. When you want to see the world, you make plans. I won it in a card game.”
  279. 279.
    >Rarity couldn’t help but smirk eviely.
  280. 280.
    >”Oh that’s what happened. He said it was stolen, but never gave details.”
  281. 281.
    “Yeah, picked up my ship and took it for a ride.”
  282. 282.
    >”AND now it is MY ship.”
  283. 283.
    >A voice bellows deeply.
  284. 284.
    >Brilliant scales like the sun shimmer as the queen rises up.
  285. 285.
    >The siren throws her mane aside as water is displaced on the beach.
  286. 286.
    >Her eyes focus on the new company.
  287. 287.
    >”I am Queen Monsoon of Samaree Islands and the seven seas. All who float are under my domain. Speak now, strangers. For I wish to get back to adding new details to this model ship.”
  288. 288.
     
  289. 289.
    “It isn’t a model and it’s mine.”
  290. 290.
    >”You crashed it here, I fixed it. If you want it back the offer of betroval is still on the table little minnow.”
  291. 291.
    >Twilight clears her throat, straining to look up at the sea beast.
  292. 292.
    >”Queen Monsoon, my name is Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria. I have come here to offer a hoof of friendship to everypony here on behalf of all of Equestria.”
  293. 293.
    >Applejack next to you gives a quiet whistle.
  294. 294.
    >”She’s a big one. What is she, Anon?”
  295. 295.
    >Lucky Roll answers her for you.
  296. 296.
    >”Our queen is a siren. Rare magical being of great power.”
  297. 297.
    >You huff and fold your arms, making your two hanger-ons squeak in surprise.
  298. 298.
    “Just as annoying as Celestia, and almost as fat.”
  299. 299.
    >Twilight’s ear flicks behind her towards you.
  300. 300.
    >Still know how to get under that nerd’s skin.
  301. 301.
    >Dash snickers before whispering to your small group.
  302. 302.
    >”So, uh, what’s up with the ship? It looks fixed. Does it not fly? Can’t fix the engine?”
  303. 303.
    >You know why, but you ain’t telln’.
  304. 304.
    “It was a bad wreak.”
  305. 305.
    >”Whatcha whispering about over here?”
  306. 306.
    >Pinkie Pie fails to keep quiet as she butts in.
  307. 307.
    “Less boring shit then whatever diplomatic babble Twilight and Monsoon are doing. Lucky Roll, go talk to them, you’re still the mayor. Get in there.”
  308. 308.
    >Lucky grumbles as she pry herself off you and with one hand-wing drags Fluttershy off you.
  309. 309.
    >She saunters off while pulling her rival along.
  310. 310.
    >Doesn’t trust Fluttershy at all.
  311. 311.
    “So what’s your plans after this Pinkie when you go home?”
  312. 312.
    >She giggles as she boops your nose.
  313. 313.
    >”Oh you silly goose. That’s a surprise.”
  314. 314.
    >Time to start the game.
  315. 315.
    >Escape plan.
  316. 316.
    “Ah right, a surprise party again. Now who’s being silly? I live here, remember?”
  317. 317.
     
  318. 318.
    >“Noooo, you have to go back home. Missed a lot of birthdays and you have to make up for each and every one of them.”
  319. 319.
    >Rainbow Dash and Applejack are distracted by Lucky Roll giving Fluttershy a hard time.
  320. 320.
    >You would be amused too.
  321. 321.
    “Pipe dream there little filly. I’m stuck here for the rest of my life.”
  322. 322.
    >Pinkie blows a raspberry at you.
  323. 323.
    >”Nice try buckoo, but this pony ride back home ain’t going without you.”
  324. 324.
    >Start to push back, physically and verbally.
  325. 325.
    “Look, we had a good time. Sort of, but it has been years now. I’m sure you moved on, I know I did. Whatever plans you had, be it parties or dating me is long past.”
  326. 326.
    >She frowns, Pinkie is many things.
  327. 327.
    >And one of them is stubborn.
  328. 328.
    >Like most earth ponies.
  329. 329.
    >Not as bad as Applejack, but it’s there.
  330. 330.
    >Poke her feelings in the right way, and the results are explosive.
  331. 331.
    >”Well yeah meanie, you ran away. Which was rude. Children run away, but as a grown stallion you should be more responsible. You belong with us, your roots are still there with me.”
  332. 332.
    >There it is, her voice is low grade angry.
  333. 333.
    “Equestria isn’t my home. You aren’t my marefriend. We aren’t doing this. Your parties will have to go on without me.”
  334. 334.
    >Need greater impact.
  335. 335.
    >Step back, like you’re on the defensive.
  336. 336.
    >She follows aggressively.
  337. 337.
    >”I’m ok with you and I not being a couple. I just wanted to make everypony smile, and you need to get with the program buster. You make ponies smile.”
  338. 338.
    >More like lust.
  339. 339.
    >”I smile, Fluttershy really smiles, and so does everypony when they limbo with your jimbo.”
  340. 340.
    >That doesn’t even make sense.
  341. 341.
    “What, you think you can just drag me back home?”
  342. 342.
     
  343. 343.
    “Great you found me. Doesn’t change anything. You’ll run along back home and maybe you’ll see me again in over a year when you can make the trip. I ain’t going back with you.”
  344. 344.
    >A fire is in her eyes.
  345. 345.
    >Oh you got her riled up.
  346. 346.
    >Now to pull a trick that you learned from her.
  347. 347.
    >Leaving junk in random stuff to pull out.
  348. 348.
    >Grab the megaphone you stashed in a palm tree.
  349. 349.
    >Quickly turn it on and stick it in front of Pinkie as she closes her eyes in frustration.
  350. 350.
    >Then amplify the yell.
  351. 351.
    >”We are going to drag you back home kicking and screaming and nothing will stop us!”
  352. 352.
    >Pinkie Pie’s voice echos.
  353. 353.
    >Several ponies close their ears.
  354. 354.
    >Both of you had slowly moved closer to Twilight and Monsoon as they were diplomacy it up.
  355. 355.
    >Islanders’ happy smiles turn to glares.
  356. 356.
    >Twilight Sparkle has frozen in place.
  357. 357.
    >Rarity sighs and facehooves.
  358. 358.
    >Monsoon grits her teeth.
  359. 359.
    >”Did I mishear? Were you planning on taking Anon? I’ll have you know he has settled down on my island quite comfortably, and it will remain that way.”
  360. 360.
    >Twilight quickly put up a diplomatic smile.
  361. 361.
    >”Queen Monsoon, we arrived here because he has been a problem. I’ve seen and heard many of his interactions and they don’t seem like someone that is in a happy situation. We can take him back home to keep working on him.”
  362. 362.
    >A giant tail slaps the beach as Monsoon glares.
  363. 363.
    >”Funny. I gathered the same story when we got him to talk about his time with you. Especially the yellow one.”
  364. 364.
    >Sparkle starts to sweat as diplomacy starts to fail.
  365. 365.
    >”Oh well you know him, he tends to exaggerate.”
  366. 366.
    >Lucky Roll clears her throat.
  367. 367.
    >”But you did intend to take him.”
  368. 368.
     
  369. 369.
    >Now for Twilight to panic and do something stupid.
  370. 370.
    >”Grab Anon and run!”
  371. 371.
    >Never mind, Fluttershy snaps first.
  372. 372.
    >Fluttershy lunges for you as she screams out.
  373. 373.
    >Lucky Roll, who was holding on to her rival, goes screaming in shock.
  374. 374.
    >For your part, a simple side step is all that is needed for the pair to go careening past you into the crowd.
  375. 375.
    >Twilight’s horn glows as she reaches out for you with telekinesis.
  376. 376.
    >Red magic shaped like water clashes with hers before it can reach you.
  377. 377.
    >Monsoon growls at the interloper.
  378. 378.
    >Sweet, magic duel between two royal pains in the butt.
  379. 379.
    >Dream Boat sighs as ponies around her start to scatter.
  380. 380.
    >Probably the least action oriented as the other ponies you deal with.
  381. 381.
    >Not a problem you’ll have to worry about.
  382. 382.
    >”Well this is much more dramatic than I anticipated.”
  383. 383.
    >Unless Rarity complicates things.
  384. 384.
    >Like a karate flying kick to the face, life comes at Dream Boat fast in the form of an angry white unicorn.
  385. 385.
    >”I will end you and burn every piece of clothing you draped over Anon’s glorious body! Only I’m allowed to dress him up. Me!”
  386. 386.
    >The dress bat screams in terror as Rarity decides to go to town.
  387. 387.
    >Kind of funny just how violent Rarity is.
  388. 388.
    >”Oh, so we are doing this.”
  389. 389.
    >Rainbow Dash didn’t sound all that surprised a fight was breaking out.
  390. 390.
    >Applejack rolled her shoulders as she looked for her dance partner.
  391. 391.
    >”Well if you're going to complain about it why not sit it out.”
  392. 392.
    >Ocean Mare waving a fin at her prismatic rival catches her attention.
  393. 393.
    >”Then again, I have never raced a dolphin before. Try not to get mugged by the time I get back AJ. Don’t disappoint me porpoise.”
  394. 394.
     
  395. 395.
    >The apple mare rolls her eyes as Rainbow fails to resist a challenge.
  396. 396.
    >”Well she can have her fun. Any of you wanna throw down with an Apple. Mango Colada right? You wanted some apples right? I got some right here for you to chew on.”
  397. 397.
    >Mango Colada tilted her head at the threat.
  398. 398.
    >Sure, the earth pony was probably stronger than her.
  399. 399.
    >”Well sweet fruit, you’d probably be a tough one to chew on that’s for sure. However, honey.”
  400. 400.
    >A fruit bat popped up next to her, then another, then another.
  401. 401.
    >Applejack didn’t take long to put her problem together.
  402. 402.
    >”Now a’ll no need for your entire family to jump one pony. Be mighty unsporting.”
  403. 403.
    >Mango nods with agreement.
  404. 404.
    >”Sure, honey. But you mainlanders waltzed in here to take back our sweet human. This is for love.”
  405. 405.
    >Didn’t even get a chance to mutter an apple expression before a wave of fruit named fruity bat ponies flooded over Applejack.
  406. 406.
    >What a shame.
  407. 407.
    “Who could have seen that coming.”
  408. 408.
    >”Oh, my turn my turn. Put them up, I got a cupcake with your name on it.”
  409. 409.
    >Cocking her pastry of choice, Pinkie Pie cracks her shoulders and showdown her target.
  410. 410.
    >”All right, wise mare. I gotcha number. You gonna be s-m-r-t and give up or is Pinkie Pie going to bring a smile to that face?
  411. 411.
    >Showdown against the grey batmare, Ignimbrite.
  412. 412.
    >Pinkie, for her part, decided to play up her showboating.
  413. 413.
    >”I got wazeets, whodingles, and whaoos that can take you down sister. Say something, it’ll be your last. Or not really. I ain’t that violent. Sticky, but not deadly. Unless you have an allergy. Do you have a food allergy? We might need to lay down some ground rules.”
  414. 414.
     
  415. 415.
    >Pinkie rolled the licorice stick around in her mouth like a straw.
  416. 416.
    >Brite seemed impassive.
  417. 417.
    >You know better.
  418. 418.
    >Slowly, Brite’s straight face cracked.
  419. 419.
    >A smile grew.
  420. 420.
    >”See, I knew your Aunt Pinkie could get a grin out of you. A big grin. That’s wide. Wow sister, that face really doesn’t quit. You, ah, you a-okay there?”
  421. 421.
    >”Oh Ms. Pie. I have such joy to show you. Behold!”
  422. 422.
    >The earth shakes, the ground trembles as waves ripple away from the island.
  423. 423.
    >Like a looming figure, the volcano rumbles like a hungry dragon before erupting.
  424. 424.
    >Silhouetted by the natural horror, Ignimbrite’s smile reaches their physical limit and inched more after that.
  425. 425.
    >A cupcake flew and struck her in the face with a sloppy flop.
  426. 426.
    >Pinkie Pie gulps as she watches her weapon uselessly slide down Ignimbrite’s face.
  427. 427.
    >Ground cracks around her as magma bubbles up.
  428. 428.
    >”Oh buck. Help, girls. I want to switch out my partner. I burn real easy. Anon, Anon what do I do?”
  429. 429.
    “I run mostly. Brite gets a little out of control when she gets this mood.”
  430. 430.
    >”Eeeeeeek!”
  431. 431.
    >A cloud sticks around where Pinkie once was.
  432. 432.
    >”Now, now, we’re not done yet. Come back pink one. We’re gonna lava spend time together.”
  433. 433.
    >The pink menace screams at the top of her lungs as liquid rock eruptions chase after her while the grey one bounces after in a giggle-addled mania.
  434. 434.
    >”I’ll be back, my ‘Nonny, after I teach this interloper a lesson. We’ll do roasted marshmallows.”
  435. 435.
    >Well that should take care of the dangerous ones for a while.
  436. 436.
    >Appropriately, the mainland mares have a sane reaction.
  437. 437.
    >Applejack grunts underneath the Chiroptera wrestle pile with some panic.
  438. 438.
    >”You all ain’t worried about a volcano erupting? Ow, stop biting my flanks, they aren’t real apples.”
  439. 439.
     
  440. 440.
    >Miles away, Rainbow Dash screams a ‘holy manure’ at the erupting volcano.
  441. 441.
    >Rarity seems more focused on giving Dream Boat matching black eyes.
  442. 442.
    >Fluttershy’s screams of rage turns to screams of panic.
  443. 443.
    >Lucky Roll seems to take the distraction in stride as she starts to pull feathers off her foe.
  444. 444.
    >Twilight also has a sane reaction.
  445. 445.
    >”Does nopony care that the freaking volcano is blowing up?”
  446. 446.
    >Queen Monsoon tries to blast the annoying alicorn out of the sky with a magic blast.
  447. 447.
    >”What’s the problem little princess? Just a little healthy magma flows.”
  448. 448.
    >”Are you crazy!? No. I’m definitely rescuing Anon now. You’re all going to get him killed.”
  449. 449.
    >Pretty sure you spy a twinkle of teleport spell from Twilight.
  450. 450.
    >”I don’t think so.”
  451. 451.
    >Monsoon sings out with a counterspell.
  452. 452.
    >A growl of frustration erupts from Twilight.
  453. 453.
    >”Buck, Rainbow pull Pinkie out of the fire we need to gallop out of here!”
  454. 454.
    >”Twilight, what about me!?”
  455. 455.
    >An orange hoot under a bat pile pleads for help.
  456. 456.
    >Rarity pulls her victim into the air before germare suplexing the poor sod.
  457. 457.
    >Brushing off the dust and glow of the extended beatdown, she calmly brushes her mane back into form.
  458. 458.
    >”Applejack, dear, do we have to do all the heavy lifting?”
  459. 459.
    >The shrill noise of a strangled balloon, also known as Pinkie, screams somewhere on the island.
  460. 460.
    >”Somepony help me! She’s crazy. Nutso. A firebrand. I don’t want to die a virgin! Oh I knew I shouldn’t have used the extra virgin oil in my baked goods today.”
  461. 461.
    >Things come together as you walk away from the nonsense, whistling the whole way.
  462. 462.
    >Pinkie Pie is many things, but a survivalist is a more subtle trait.
  463. 463.
    >She wouldn’t call it that, but hiding random shit in places means to always be prepared.
  464. 464.
     
  465. 465.
    >Including your exit plan.
  466. 466.
    >Just like with Ponyville you’ve been planning this one for a while.
  467. 467.
    >Exposition dear Anons.
  468. 468.
    >Airships are a luxury, big surprise.
  469. 469.
    >Lots of magical power to run those things, and if you are going on some wild excursion where you can’t fuel up normally.
  470. 470.
    >Well, you need this bad boy.
  471. 471.
    >From a coconut you pull out a crystal core.
  472. 472.
    >Absorbs radiating magic.
  473. 473.

  479. 479.
    >Quickly, you stash the now glowing rock into your backpack.
  480. 480.

  481. 481.
    >Chaos reigns around you.
  482. 482.
    >Hooves are being thrown, got a magic duel between royalty, and Fluttershy is basically playing pattycakes with Lucky Roll.

  484. 484.
    >A wet noodle against a pony.
  485. 485.

  505. 505.

  506. 506.
    >Defenses online.
  507. 507.
    >The whine of the captain’s intercom chirps online.
  508. 508.
    “Sayonara, jerkwads!”
  509. 509.
    >Punching full force ahead, you can’t help but laugh.
  510. 510.
    >Rainbow Dash is too far away to even know what’s going on after saving Pinkie.
  511. 511.
    >Twilight spent too much energy fighting Queen Majesty.
  512. 512.

    >”Match.”
  514. 514.
    >Music of despair swells as the boss theme reveals itself.
  515. 515.
    >Quickly you turn around to face your final opponent.
  516. 516.
    >Of all ponies, out of any of these horny bastards, it’s her.
  517. 517.

  518. 518.
    >Dream Boat wipes away a bit of blood from her cheek.
  519. 519.
    >”From her? She’s made of marshmallows. I was just waiting to see what you were up to.”

    ”So the blood?”
  521. 521.
    >”I bit my cheek.”
  522. 522.

  523. 523.
    >The Chiroptera pounces upon you.
  524. 524.
    >”Now my sweet Anon, we’ll travel the world together. No more rivals, no more games, you’re mine. Forever!”
  525. 525.
    >Trying to throw her off is impossible.
  526. 526.
    >Her wings are like big hands on top of her hooves and teeth.
  527. 527.
    >The bridge room screams warnings as random buttons and levers are hit during the tussle.
  528. 528.
    “Get off you bint!”
  529. 529.
    >She laughs at your attempts, and you fear that your escape has been thwarted.

  533. 533.
    >Fluttershy and Lucky Roll keep up their momentum and throw the mare overboard.
  534. 534.

  535. 535.
    >Dream Boat hangs off the side of the ship, the wind blows harshly against her mane.
  536. 536.
    >”Curse you, Lucky Roll. Curse you…um.”
  537. 537.
    >”Fluttershy. I’m Fluttershy.”
  538. 538.

    >The two pose above their vanquished foe.
  540. 540.

    >Fluttershy waves you off.
  544. 544.
    >”Hush, dear. Let us have this moment. It’s fun.”
  545. 545.
    >Dream Boat only falls a few feet before catching herself in the air and flies back up eye level.
  546. 546.
    >”A sweet moment, but I’m not so easily defeated. Hmm. Girls, what is Anon holding?”
  547. 547.
    >Lucky Roll huffs with annoyance.
  548. 548.
    >”Do you think I would fall for the dumbest trick in the book? You have another thing coming.”
  549. 549.
    >Honestly, you wished she did look.
  550. 550.
    >Would have been funny.
  551. 551.
    “Eat net gun!”
  552. 552.
    >Emergency bridge weapons for the win.
  553. 553.

  557. 557.
    >Just in time to see Majesty and Twilight rise up and reach for the ship with their magic.
  558. 558.
    “Crap, crap, crap. Come on old girl. Don’t give up now.”
  559. 559.
    >It lurches from their magic grabbing the ship.
  560. 560.
    >Red lights tell you something is wrong.
  561. 561.
    >Basically out of time and options.
  562. 562.
    “Screw safety.”
  563. 563.
     
  564. 564.
    >Hit the warp drive button.
  565. 565.
    >A whine from the engine is all you hear before the world pops out of existence.
  566. 566.
    >The screams of ‘Anon’ from various mares are also heard.
  567. 567.
    >Stars are all you see.

  573. 573.
    >Pull the steering wheel up to level the ship as best as you can.
  574. 574.
    “All of this hard work and planning, and I’m going to die like this?”
  575. 575.
    >Better than fucking Fluttershy right?
  576. 576.
    >Yup.
  577. 577.
    >All you can see in your final moments is snow and pine trees.
  578. 578.
    >The ship crashes and you black out.
  579. 579.
    >---
  580. 580.
    >Your ear tickles.
  581. 581.
    >Death is kind of weird.
  582. 582.
    >A big tongue licks your face.
  583. 583.
    >Coughing awake.
  584. 584.
    >You’re in so much pain.
  585. 585.
    >Bright light hurts your eyes.
  586. 586.
    >A feminine gasp catches your ears.
  587. 587.
    >”You’re alive!”
  588. 588.
    >Your blood chills at the sound.
  589. 589.
    >Matching how the freezing snow bites into you.
  590. 590.
    >Going from tropical to tundra is harsh.
  591. 591.
    >Slowly clarity returns.
  592. 592.
    >Bright eyes and a happy smile greets you.
  593. 593.
    >”Hello! I had to pull you away from your massive ship. It was on fire!”
  594. 594.
    >No, you were trying to escape the ponies.
  595. 595.
    >”I’m Frosty Flakes, but you can call me Frosty, stranger.”
  596. 596.
    >Sitting up, you look around to find yourself surrounded by snow ponies.
  597. 597.
    >”Kind sexy for a weird looking creature.”
  598. 598.
    >It all begins again.
  599. 599.
    >Trade out one hell for another.
  600. 600.
    >So you scream into the void.
  601. 601.
    >”Oh hey, you know the way to greet. I’ll scream with you. Then I’ll take you to my tent to keep warm.”
  602. 602.
    >Fucking Flutters-, no wait it’s Frosty now.
  603. 603.
    >Fucking Frosty.
