Sir. Lancealot the 1st
By Leonardo Oliver Osborn
You are Sir Lancealot the 1st. You are an Alicorn Stallion; with a brown coat, giant wings, a big, sharp horn, a golden crown, along with golden shoe hooves thingys -like what Celestia wears- and a long, yet not too long, blond mane. You are the ruler of Trottingham, a rather small, peaceful kingdom. Not much was told about Trottingham. Because of that, you -Sir Lancealot- hadn’t had much to do, so one day you decided to attend the Sun Summer Festival.
For a Nobel who dosn’t have that much kingdom, you still had quite some stuff to pack, along with your subjects, whom wanted to go as well after your announcement. So, they were all packed, and everything was ready, Celestia was awaiting for you, and everything was perfect...
Meanwhile
He is a human, he dosn’t do much, just human stuff. He works, he sleeps, he wakes up, then repeats the process. This human is named Jerry. He has short, un-styled hair, he had a red buttoned tucked-in shirt, with sand colored pants, and a black belt... and sadly not a karate belt... just... a normal, black belt... well, with nothing better to do in life, fate decided to chose him for this... well... fate...
Meanwhile, again
Discord washed his paw and claw, angerly mumbling to himself on how Celestia was so stupid and how there was no point in washing your paw and claw... or hooves... if you’re just gonna eat food and get your cla- pa- HOOVES dirty. He rubbed his hands intensely, now filling with anger on how confusing claws, paws, hooves, whatevers- were so confusing. Which had caused a fire, but was swiftly stopped by the water. Thank Celestia... or the water company...
After dealing with so much frustration, he felt like he could use someone to complain to. So, he cracked his knuckles, and prepared to snap his fingers, but then...
“Discord, are you done yet? It’s been ten minutes! What are you doing in there!?”
Discord flinched, and snapped his fingers, but his magic missed, and so that means something is gonna go wrong... any day or week...
“Oh, um, nothing Princess, I was just... washing my claw and paw, that’s all.”
Discord snickered, sensing a little rhyme in there.
“Well hurry up! It’s time to get ready! And how long dose it take to wash your hooves, exactly?”
Asked Celestia, whom I didn’t bother to tell you who was talking until now.
“Well, I’m a Dragonquss! You don’t know how long it takes for a Dragonquss to wash his claws\paws, don’t you?”
So, with Tia rolling her eyes, and Discord putting on a bath robe for no reason, they were off to get ready for the Festival.
So, um, remember that human; Jerry? Yeah, he’s turns out to be a little important... because, well, Discord kinda randomly summoned him, and instead of going to Discord like he should, instead Discord was disturbed, thus, he ended up in the wrong place...
Meanwhile, for the third time
So, after all the preparations were finished, you decided to take a walk around your kingdom, on your royal lawn. It was a nice day, the sun was shinning, the sky was clear, there was a few golf clubs set up, there was a human, there wa- WAIT!!! You don’t play golf! Why are there golf clubs here! And what’s with the random human!? You never even heard of such a thing, you don’t even know what it is, but one thing’s known for sure... somepony likes to play golf here... and there’s a hairless monkey with strange cloths in your lawn...
“HALT!”
You yelled with your royal voice, but alas, it didn’t work, for it scared the poor ape, and it ran.
One hour of chasing later...
You had finally cornered it. It stuck to the edge of the dead end, shaking in fear, still having no idea what was going on.
“WHAT ARE YOU CREATOR!? AND WHAT ART THY DOING HERE!?”
You yelled, the royal voice still sounding a bit scary. Upon realizing this, you decided to go with a softer voice.
“... my apologies, the royal voice almost always works. My name is Sir. Lancealot... the 1st... what’s your name?”
The creator still seemed to be a little afraid of you, but he gulped, and answered
“Ah... Jerry...”
“... Jerry...?”
You asked, not familiar with such a strange name, but this is a different creator, so this must be a normal name for him.
“... very well then, ‘Jerry’; welcome to my kingdom, Trottingham.”
Jerry nodded.
“Come, I shall show you around, and you shall tell me everything, everything shall be solved later...”
One tour later
You two are now the best-est friends. You both like to sleep, and hate waking up, you both work 24 hours a day, and you both like bananas! Bananas are good. And now, the day has come, and you will now attend to The Summer Festival! What could possibly go wrong...?
Okay, so bringing a Human to the festival wasn't that much of a good idea after all. Everypony pretty much panicked upon seeing him. So, after you took the time to settle everypony down, Celestia came over to see what the hay was going on. The only Pony who didn’t seem to be scared was a Pony with a tan coat, wearing a green sweater, has a big brown beard, and a long brown mane, and wore sun glasses. All he did was look over at a handsome brown coated colt, with a darker brown mane, and a blue Fedora, and nodded at him in approval of this...
“Sir. Charles Bronze Wolfgang Hesus Lancealot the 1st, WHAT is going on here?”
You face hoofed.
“Tia, I told you not to call me by my whole name... it’s so long... anyway, this is a human, Gerry-”
“Jerry'...”
He corrected.
“Jerry'. He said he pretty much came here out of nowhere, and he heard a snap of fingers before it happened.”
Celestia slowly nodded.
“Ah ha... I think I may know who might of done this...”
She slowly turned her attention to Discord.
“.... what....?”
Asked the Dragonquess, trying to play dumb. But it didn’t work, for Celestia was already on to him.
“You did this, didn’t you...”
Discord smiled nervously, trying to formulate a lie.
“Um... no... of curse not! I would never, ever, ever ever ever ever-”
“Discord, you know as well as I know that you did this.”
“-do this more then once, of curse...”
Celestia gave him a knowing glare.
“... that’s it... Twilight....”
“Yes Princess?”
Answered a.... very.... pretty... mere.... she had a fine purple coat, perfect, flowing purple mane, with beautiful purple eyes, and a Cutie Mark with purple stars on it... she is so purple.... and beautiful... you fell in love with her the moment you saw her. And the best thing of all, like you, she has both wings and a horn... she’s perfect... when she saw you, she blushed a slight bit, but then focused back on Celestia.
“Go get the elements....”
Tia ordered. Discord’s eyes shot open.
“N-n-now no need to g-get that hasty... r-right....?”
He started to panic, his expression filled with fear and horror.
“... maybe... but just in case....”
Discord’s heart skipped a beat. Twilight returned with five other mares, all wearing necklaces with their Cutie Marks on them, while Twilight wore a crown- and you thought looked quite cute on her.
“But first, we should go see your bed chambers...”
Discord wiped his brow, and held his paw up a slight bit.
“And no snapping!”
Discord froze.
“Girls; watch his every move. Discord; if you have nothing to hide, I’m sure you won’t have a problem if you can’t use your magic for a bit.”
Discord gulped, this wassn’t gonna end well.
One walk into the castle to Discord’s bed chambers later
He was doomed, he knew that with or without snapping to make everything in his room disappear, he was still toast. Once when they arrived, Tia order Discord to open his door. This was it, this was the end. Slowly, and nervously, he grabbed his door knob, and slowly opened it. It looked quite small on the outside, but on the inside, it was an entire universe, filled with the most random things. One thing's known for sure... Jerry wasn't the only one Discord had summoned- in fact, over the past few months, it had became a habit.
Upon seeing this, Celestia sighed.
"Twilight... you know what to do..."
Twilight nodded. And with that, her eyes started to glow, and same with the other five meres. They are started to float into the air, and out came a giant rainbow.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
Discord yelled as he was about to be forever stoned (and I mean literally)...
But it just didn’t happen.... they paused, wondering what they had done wrong in the first place; they had all the elements, they had the right Ponies, what could have gone wrong? Discord laughed, and rolled on the floor, ultimately relieved.
“I.... just don’t get it...”
Twilight uttered after five minutes of shock. But then, an idea struck you.
“Hang on...”
Celestia’s eyes shot open, she knew right away what you were planning.
“No, I know what you are thinking, and it’s not going to work!”
“It needs something...”
You continued, ignoring Celestia entirely.
“No, it dosn’t!”
She tried to shut down your idea as swiftly as possible.
“It’s missing something...”
You pressed on.
“Missing what?”
Twilight asked with a curious look.
“It’s not missing anything!”
Celestia tried to inform her, but you didn’t care.
“It needs just... one more... element....”
You explained.
“What element?”
Asked Twilight.
“No element! There are no extra elements!”
Celestia continued on her attempt to shut you down, but it still did not work.
“The element... of order...”
You explained.
“I had once tried to make a seventh Element, but it did not work, so sense then, Celestia and Luna tried their best to make sure it never existed.”
“And it never did!”
Celestia snapped.
“Luna and I had already destroyed it!”
“Well... if so...”
You started, but then ran to go get something, and swiftly returned.
“Then explain THIS!”
You floated up a round stone.
“But.... but.... it was a decoy!?”
Celestia concluded. You nodded.
“Yep, now Twilight, let’s try this again... TOGETHER!”
Twilight nodded, and Celestia knew that it was too late. To her, having a seventh Element was a huge Tabuu, but considering that the elements didn’t work with just the six, she knew there was no other choice. So, with their eyes glowing once more, and another blast of a rainbow while Discord continued to laugh, he was shot, and formed a happy looking statue.
***
So, with that done, everything that happened with Discord remained silent for now, so they could enjoy the Sun Summer Festival. Afterwards, Jerry -along with all of Discord's stuff- was returned home. And with everything taken care of, there was just one last you thing need to do...
There she was... right there... at the balcony of the castle, gazing in at the moon light... Twilight is so beautiful... you had finally found your chance to talk to her...
“So... the sky looks pretty, hah?”
You asked. Twilight looked over, snapping out of deep thought.
“Hah? Oh, yes, it is...”
She continued to look, you came over and sat next to her.
“So... your name is Twilight... yes...?”
You asked. She nodded.
“And you must be... Sir. Charles Bronze Wolfgang Hesus-”
“Just call me Lancealot...”
You interrupted, tired of that really long name.
“Yes... of curse...”
You two stayed silent for a bit. You had thought about it really hard, and you knew that you just had to ask, so after a lot of hesitation, you had finally gathered the courage.
“So... do you already have a prince...?”
You asked. She blushed.
“No... I don’t... I don’t even have my own kingdom yet... I just got these wings...”
She slowly stroked one of them. You managed to press on.
“Well... I have a kingdom... but I don’t have a queen yet... maybe... would you... maybe...”
You hesitated, she looked at you with big eyes, wanting for you to finish.
“... maybe.......... merry me....?”
There was long pause, and the longer it took, the more nervous you became, not so sure what her answer was going to be.
“...... yes...”
She finally answered.
“Well, it was worth a try, I hope it dosn’t- wait... what did you say...?”
You almost rambled, but managed to stop yourself.
“Yes... I will merry you...”
She repeated. Your heart skipped a beat.
“W-w-well... that’s wonderful!”
You exclaimed. Slowly, you two got closer, and closer, and closer.... and closer... and finally... your muzzles were so close... then... you kissed...
The End
Behind the Liditure: Sir. Lancealot the 1st
Behind the Liditure:
Sir. Lancealot the 1st
The Main Idea Origin:
So, as the description said, this was originally made for the contest. In fact, the moment when I had read the categories, was the moment all the ideas came to my head, and the full plot had already came to mind.
How Long it Took to Write:
I manage to work under the spam of three weeks. Sadly, do to some real life n’ stuff, I couldn’t upload it in time.
The Creation & Choice of the Main Character
Sir. Charles Bronze Wolfgang Hesus Lancealot the 1st was a reference to Sir. Lancelot. I was originally spelling the name wrong when I added the ‘a’ in LanceAlot, but I decided to keep it that way. In a way, it made a good parody, instead of a 100% copy and paste. But, I did not research the original, so I made him far more different. In fact, his character was rather dole, but I had to work in the spam of three weeks.
Details on Quotes and Hidden References & Commentary:
Part 1
“- along with golden shoe hooves thingys, like what Celestia wears,”
Yeah, that was rather lazy. But I’m sure you guys thought it was funny, right?
“- and a long -yet not too long- blond mane”
So he won’t look that girly. Try to picture Shinning Armor’s mane or something.
“- Celestia was awaiting for you, and everything was perfect...”
Yeah, I know that’s a bit overly used. But I thought it would work.
“This human is named Jerry.”
So the original name I was gonna go with was Stan, but Jerry seems to work rather well.
“He has short, un-styled hair,”
That was inspired by The Evolution of Stan. In fact, naming the useless Human ‘Stan’ was rather an un-original idea.
(Warning, that was a clop-fic that I regret reading)
“he had a red buttoned tucked-in shirt, with sand colored pants,”
Try and guess what his job is. I’ll give ya a hint;
~Like a good nighber, Jerry is there!~
“- and a black belt... and sadly not a karate belt... just... a normal, black belt...”
I thought just saying ‘Black Belt’ was gonna be a bit confusing, so I worked my magic’s to make it clear....
“- there was no point in washing your paw and claw... or hooves... if you’re just gonna eat food and get your cla- pa- HOOVES dirty.”
In a way, eh, I guess it’s like that.
“He rubbed his hands intensely, now filling with anger on how confusing claws, paws, hooves, whatevers- were so confusing,”
Yeah, if ya think about it, having all of these different intelligent species like that can get quite confusing, with all of the Hooves, Paws, Claws, etc. Especially for Discord, whom has a Paw and Claw.
“Thank Celestia... or the water company...”
I bursted out laughing when I wrote that. Do you guys think it’s funny?
“- washing my claw and paw, that’s all.”
Discord snickered, sensing a little rhyme in there.”
Honestly, I’ve just noticed the rhyme the moment I first wrote it. I didn’t take my time to come up with such a rhyme.
“- whom I didn’t bother to tell you who was talking until now.”
Yes, laziness. Blah, blah, blah, blah.... but it’s funny in a way, right?
“So, with Tia rolling her eyes, and Discord putting on a bath robe for no reason,”
The bath robe thing was kinda referenced from a comic. I kinda forgot what the name was....
“So, after all the preparations were finished, you decided to take a walk around your kingdom,”
I like to walk, walking is good. Why not make you (Sir. Lancealot) do it?
“It was a nice day, the sun was shinning, the sky was clear, there were a few golf clubs set up, there was a human, there wa- WAIT!!! You don’t play golf! Why are there golf clubs here! And what’s with the random human!?”
That is a reference to Phineas and Ferb, in the episode One Scare Ought to Do It, when Doofenshirtz had already left Perry behind with the bomb. So, while in the plane, he decided to go through a head count of all the stuff he packed, and at the end of the head count, he noticed Perry the Platypus, the bomb... and his golf set.... I wish I could find the scene on Youtube, but it is IMPOSIBLE to find!
“HALT!”
You yelled with your royal voice,”
Yes, Luna thing, I know. Thought it was rather appropriate.
“You two are now the best-est friends.”
Man, the ‘Best-est’ thing. I’ve heard that so many times, it made me wanna use it too.
“- and you both like bananas! Bananas are good.”
That was a reference to Doctor Who
“- and you will now attend to The Summer Festival! What could possibly go wrong...?”
In Fairy Odd Parents; the Fairies attempted to get Timmy Turner on a sitcom, and made his catch fraise ‘What could possibly go wrong’?
“So, after you took the time to settle everypony down”
This was basically a hint that Lancealot was the element of Order.
“The only Pony who didn’t seem to be scared was a Pony with a tan coat, wearing a green sweater, had a big brown beard, and a long brown mane, and wore sun glasses. All he did was look over at a handsome brown coated colt, with a darker brown mane, and a blue Fedora, and nodded at him in approval of this...”
Best easter-egg in the whole fanfic; those two Ponies there was Oppelscence and your’s truly. I hope you guys noticed this one on your own. And Oppelscene; If you are reading this, then I just want to say; I am honored. I may had missed the contest, this fanfic may be not even come close to comparing to the real winners. But I tried, I tried ever so hard to do it in time. I hope you understand... and I'll probably pass out if you comment on this...
“Sir. Charles Bronze Wolfgang Hesus Lancealot the 1st, WHAT is going on here?”
Charles Exazier (how ever you spell his last name) was from my old-time favorites; X-Men. Bronze is basically the color of his coat, Wolfgang was the middle name of Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus, Hesus was a name of a spanic I meet whom had this name, and everyone often liked to call him ‘Jesus’ because in Spanish, ‘H’ is basically ‘J’. Not so sure if I had it right. If not, then let me know.
“Tia, I told you not to call me by my whole name... it’s so long...”
That’s a reference to Spy Kids, how the girl (forgot her name, it’s pretty darn long) had to say her whole name in order to have accuses to stuff. And, well, she didn’t wanna, cause’ her name is sooo long.
“Discord smiled nervously, trying to formulate a lie.”
‘Formulate a lie’ is a reference to Digibro's video.
“Um... no... of curse not! I would never, ever, ever ever ever ever-”
“Discord, you know as well as I know that you did this.”
“-do this more then once, of curse...”
Okay, so this wasn’t as well quoted as the original, but I might remake this scene some other time. This is a reference of the beginning scene of Lio and Stich. And sadly, I could NOT find the original on Youtube.
“Yes Princess?”
Answered a.... very.... pretty... mere...."
Yeah, this is when it got awkward. Well, it got worse later on, so I managed to stand this one without pulling my eyes out.
"One walk into the castle to Discord’s bed chambers later"
From this point on, I accidentally erased the whole thing, but I managed to rewrite it.
"It looked quite small on the outside, but on the inside, it was an entire universe, filled with the most random of things."
This isn't the first time I've done something like this.
"There she was... right there... at the balcony of the castle, gazing in at the moon light... Twilight is so beautiful... you had finally found your chance to talk to her..."
Yeah, from this point on; THAT is when I wanted to pull my eyes out! But I manage to force myself through this, knowing full and well that I will write a scene like this again some day...
"You exclaimed. Slowly, you two got closer, and closer, and closer.... and closer... and finally... your muzzles were so close... then... you kissed..."
Ewwwwww....!!!! Gah.... that was so painful to write...
The Making of this Fanfiction:
In the spam of three weeks, was sadly a very busy three weeks. I was moving at the time, so I was often interrupted when I was in the middle of working on it to help with boxes n' such. I had failed Oppelscence.... I failed him so badly....
My Final Thoughts:
All n' all, it may had felt a bit awkward to write such a hasty, forced, and hallow fanfiction- but I had fun. There were a lot of moments I was proud of, and mark my words; there WILL be more meaning to this fanfiction, it will be more then a failed entry of The Most Dangerous Game! You'll see...
All My Best,
