Whoops

Babs Seed was walking home one morning when Scootaloo stopped.

"Hey Babs?"

"Yeah?"

"AHHHHHHHHH-"

Babs Seed watched in horror as Scootaloo slowly started to melt away into thin air. The veil of reality couldn't handle the pressure. The fabric of space and time began to distort as Babs was pulled inside.

"NOT AGAIN!"

Every time Scootaloo.

Every single time.

Glancing around, she saw crying twilight on the Sweetie Belle.

"CELESTIA ARE YOU OKAY?"

"Do I look okay?" Luna screamed calmly.

"HWA HWA. AHHHH!!! AHHHHH!!!"

LIKE THE ENDLESS INSECTS CRAWLING THROUGH MOTHER EARTH, MY PARANOIA THREATENS TO BURST OUT, THRASHING, GROWLING, SEETHING.

"How unfortunate. How. Ho-"

Twilight Sparkle walked into the bar.

"Please help. I don't know drink."

"Drink."

Drink.

Please.

Animals parading violently through the streets. Needing extra helping wiping their own eye sockets free of sight. Let us adjourn, far away.

"I just don't understand." Said Celestia. "I just don't understand."

"I do." It said.

Following.

"Cadence screamed," said It said-

Subah bub bub, bub.

Twilight went mad.

Or at least, I thought she did. I don't know what really happened. All I know is she looks crazy, she screaming, and she's trying to kill everyone in Ponyville.

Running through the Everfree, I kept my head low as I tried to catch up to Short Temper. I had to make in time, I just had to. The six kids got it in their heads that because their parents were heroes, it was up to them to save the day now. They're only kids, not adults, like their parents were. There is no way that'll end well.

Of course, I'm just a child too, but I'm not trying to stop a mad alicorn, I'm just trying to stop six kids from getting themselves killed. Unfortunately, that means drawing the Alicorn's attention away from them, and towards me.

I'm pretty sure she didn't appreciate having a ball of poop thrown in her face.

"COME BACK AND DIE LIKE A STALLION!!!

I rather not.

I'm not an expert on magic, or anything of the horrible things this world contains. Changelings, Sirens, tartarus... Something no honest colt has any business knowing about. Or me. Regardless, this wasn't natural, Twilight would never want to harm her own child or her friend's children. Honestly, that's probably why she switched targets so easily, somewhere deep inside. She emotionally can accept killing me far more easily than them- oh that almost hit my head.

"URAAAAAGHH!!!"

So angry. Why is she so angry? It's unfortunate really. She always so sweet towards all of us, I really rather not have my last experience be her impaling me.

I'm babbling, how am I going to stop this?

I'm in the Everfree, running for my life, weaving in and out of trees running on adrenaline. That'll only take me so far really. Just a pegasus colt, not much I can do. What could I do? Even if I was an element wielder, I couldn't just shoot her with a happy magical beam and call it a day. The elements were stuck in the Tree of Harmony.

The Tree of Harmony.

I might not be able to do anything, but I can get her to that tree- oh hey that one singed me, wings are feeling pretty numb from that, anyway, but I can get her to that then maybe the hallow forces unseen could solve this mess for me. Lord knows I'll take any chance to bail out of this mess.

Luckily, I've already been running in that general direction. I probably don't have enough energy run that far if I haven't. How the hell am I going to possibly get her to touch it? It's not like I could throw her into it. So what, tackle her? Yeah right, more like she'd tackle me.

Hey, there's an idea. Perfect timing too. Hi stupid jewelry tree. Good thing it's in some weird crater, if Twilight could see it this would never work.

"HEY PURPLE RETARD!" I screamed, turning and facing her.

Her eyes were on fire. Glad I peed recently, because I'd definitely be doing it now.

"COME KILL ME WITH YOUR OWN HOOVES! I'M RIGHT HERE!"

Well I can't outright say 'Tackle me!' Twilight isn't stupid.

With a frustrated scream, she started charging towards me. This is gonna suck.

Oh, she's going in horn first.

Yeah, that was definitely my extremely important respiratory organ she pierced there.

You're breaking my heart Twilight, come on.

Anyway, we slammed into the tree and like a fly to a fly swatter, we both proceeded to get electrocuted by magical energy. It's about as painful they make it out to be, we were both screaming at the top of our lungs.

Apparently, there must have been some heat or fire in the spirit of harmony, because the wound on my chest was burnt shut. Key word being 'burnt' here, as it wasn't a soothing experience. But hey, my heart seemed to be working fine again.

You make my heart stand still Twilight, literally. Asshole.

Well, she's unconscious, and back to normal. I don't really want to be around to answer anything, so I think I'll make myself scarce and fly away now.

With my wings.

Still can't feel my wings.

Oh.

I don't have wings anymore.

...

Oh.

Oh that's...

Oh.

Obsidian Explosions

Sombra screamed.

And screamed.

And screamed.

Screamed.

Rage, rage meant he was still alive, in some form or another. He refused to let go of it. He couldn't know where he was, he lost the ability to work that out. He couldn't remember, but he could feel. And he felt anger, and nothing else. So he screamed, defiantly against the endless void, whatever is was, wherever he was, and refused to lose heart.

He refused to lose his rage.

And so he screamed, and screamed, and screamed, and screamed.

And cried.

And sobbed.

Whimpered.

Stopped.

Twilight and Luna quietly stared at Celestia's head.

EXAMPLES

~ORIGINAL~

“So, do you know when Shining is suppose to be back?” Twilight asked as she rummaged through her pantry to fetch refreshments for the picnic. “It’s not like him to be late.”

“I’m not sure,” Cadence said. “When he got up this morning, he said he had some business to take care of in Canterlot.”

“Canterlot? But that can take an entire day. Ugh, why does this always happen?”

“Now, now, Twilight, no need to get your mane in a knot.” She placed a hoof on Twilight’s shoulder, then smiled. “He’ll be with us, I promise. He’d never miss out on being with you.”

Twilight sighed before taking a deep breath. “You’re right. I just wish things would go as planned.”

“Well, sometimes in life things don’t always go as planned. Not everything can be perfect.”

Twilight rolled her eyes, albeit in a friendly way. “I know.”

“Mommy,” Opal Rose said as she jumped up and down. “When are we going?”

“Soon, little one. Just a little longer.”

“Okay. I’ll go get my stuff from my room.” With that said, Opal Rose left.

~PICKLELESS POKING AROUND WITH IT~

“Do you know when he's suppose to be back?” Twilight asked as she rummaged through her pantry to fetch refreshments for the picnic.

"Huh?" Cadence found herself staring at the clock again.

“Shiny, It’s not like him to be late.” Twilight smiled.

“Oh, I’m not sure...” Cadence shook her head. “When he got up this morning, he said he had some business to take care of in Canterlot.”

“Canterlot? But that can take an entire day. Ugh, why does this always happen?” Twilight rolled her eyes.

“Now, now, no need to get your mane in a knot.” She giggled and placed a hoof on Twilight’s shoulder, “He’ll be with us, I promise. He’d never miss out on being with his LSBFF!”

Twilight sighed before taking a deep breath. “You’re right. I just wish things would go as planned.”

Come on Twilight, I'm not going to see a checklist for how this picnic is suppose to go, am I?”

"Of course not!" Twilight huffed, "besides, I already went over it last night..."

Twilight's face flushed as Cadence gave her a knowing smirk.

Twilight rolled her eyes, albeit in a friendly way. “I know, I know... It's just we haven't seen each other in months, I don't want anything to go wrong.”

“Mommy,” Opal Rose said as she jumped up and down. “When are we going?”

“Soon, little one. Just a little longer.”

“Okay, I’ll go get my stuff from my room!” With that said, Opal Rose left.

OH GET ARGUED
