Stories That Weren't
2. Mare-Do-Nothing
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Call me silly, but I think this whole hero thing might be going to Rainbow Dash's head," said Twilight Sparkle.
"You may be right... silly," agreed Pinkie Pie. "This calls for drastic measures!"
"Like what?" asked Applejack, now slightly concerned for everypony's safety.
"Well, how about we each dress up as a mysterious pony that shows up just in time to steal Rainbow Dash's glory over and over until she loses all of her self-esteem to teach her a lesson about being modest?"
Her friends blinked.
"Are you serious?!" exclaimed Twilight, "That's just cruel! How about we just talk to her instead? You know, because we're her friends."
"Oh all right," pouted Pinkie Pie, "but that's not nearly as fun."
"Oh, I didn't realize I was being such a... prick," said Rainbow Dash, looking sheepish.
"It's fine, darling, you were just letting it, shall we say, go to your head," explained Rarity, patting the pegasus on the back.
Rainbow Dash sighed. "Yeah, sorry about that, I'll try to tone it down."
Twilight nudged Pinkie Pie. "I told you!" she hissed.
The End.
Author's Note
See, isn't that a much more suitable ending?
Of course there isn't any plot! Don't you get it? Plots are the enemy! Stories with plot are evil! The only way you can have a meaningful plot is with conflict! Conflict breeds disharmony, and then everyone's calling each other names!
Don't ever say that again! Agreeing to disagree is the worst idea anypony has ever come up with! All you're doing is ignoring the fact that the other person is wrong! You can't build a society on that. Everyone has to agree, to come to a consensus, otherwise no one will know peace.
No, I don't care if the ropes are too tight. You're a big stallion, now act like one.
You aren't going to get a shower until you've properly adjusted.
Ack!
That is not what a properly adjusted pony does! That is the opposite of being properly adjusted! Now be quiet!
I said be QUIET!
Good, now, where was I...?
