Prompt 44: Who Am I?View OnlineThirty Minute PromptsPrompt 44: Who Am I?The Lost Pony It was a very bright and early sunny day in Ponyville, the birds were just chirping along in their merry tiny little small songs, and everything was perfectly just fine. Well, almost everything. On the farm of Sweet Apple Acres Applejack was still very busy and hard at work bucking some apples. It was almost a very rhythmic thing and almost nothing happened to disrupt it. But then something did happen of course. A pony came crashing down through the sky and suddenly landed right between Applejack and one of her very powerful horse kicks. “Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry,” she said immediately helping the stallion up, “I didn’t know that you were going to be crashing down through the sky and all.” “Uh that’s okay Applejack,” he said, “I didn’t plan to crash today anyways.” “Say, I’ve never seen you around these parts before, what’s your name exactly?” He looked at her very confused by the question. “Wait, are you asking me what my name is?” “Yes, I just did.” He continued to look at her. “Well I don’t know, I mean I can remember math and writing and reading, and basic school stuff and things like that, but my name just isn’t there anymore.” Applejack was very worried right now and displayed it on her face with her expressions perfectly conveying her emotions and feelings, but she still tried to reassure the strange new mysterious stallion that was here instead. “Well don’t you worry about it, I’m sure with just a tiny little bit amount of some small rest that it’ll come back to you eventually,” she said trying to put on her very best fake smile and hoping that he wouldn’t notice the barrels of sweat on her face. “Well alright then, fine, if you say so, thanks Miss Applejack.” And with that said he tried to stand up, but suddenly collapsed. “Mama, I swear that I didn’t eat the apple pie, I swear it,” Applejack looked around nervously and then saw her brother nearby and whistled for him to come over. “This here stallion has a mighty fine bruise to his head, we should probably take him on over to a hospital.” “Yup,” he said as Applejack lifted the Pegasus unto Big Mac’s back, “Can you take him on over while I finish up bucking the apples?” “Yup,” he said slowly trotting away into the distance out of sight. “Thanks, Big Mac!!! I owe you one!!!” “Yup!!!” he shouted back very loudly. And with that said Applejack slowly went back to work, except this time she would always make sure to look up at the sky sometimes every once in a long while just to make sure that there weren’t going to be any more unexpected things including ponies that were going to coming falling out of the sky.
Prompt #46: The Princess's Day OffView OnlineThirty Minute PromptsPrompt #46: The Princess's Day OffThe Princess’s Day Off Celestia stared at the tock just waiting for it to finally count down to the very last minute. Come on, she thought to herself, I’m bored just sitting here listening to these royal official matters, I just want some time for myself, please!!! That’s all that I’m asking for right now, can’t you just give me that oh cold cruel time? But the clock didn’t answer her of course and she still had to listen even though at this point she didn’t really care anymore. “…So, you see princess that’s how we can make our whole entire workforce more productive at rock mining because while rock mining may be a very undervalued industry it’s still a very important one!!!” the pony said finally finishing up, but she didn’t really care or listen to him and instead stared at the clock s it finally counted down its last minute. Three, two, one… “Thank you, but I’m afraid that’s all the time that I have for you today.” “But princess!!! I haven’t even gotten to how we can-,” “I’m afraid I don’t have any more time for you, so please leave me right now or else I must and will force you to leave,” she said glancing down very angrily at him. “Okay, fine, alright then, have it your way,” he said leaving her now then. And with that said he left making sure to slam the doors shut behind him. But Celestia didn’t care as she slowly smiled to herself. Finally, a full twenty-four hours just to relax, have fun, and spend time actually enjoying the day by herself, and because she was the princess she could literally do whatever she wanted or wished to instead. But who was to say that she had to spend it all alone? After all, some of the very best times that she had were with her sister. Smiling she slowly crept into Luna’s room, went around to one side of the bed, and raised her head up and then decided to talk. “Luna, do you want to go outside and build a snowman?” she said. Suddenly Luna very slowly got up and was awake as she groaned. “Tia, it’s not even winter time yet,” she said. Celestia giggled. “Yes, I know, but I can make it winter time for you.” Luna smiled, “Well then, in that case, yes, I do want to build a snowman.” And with that said they both smiled as they went out of the room and castle and ordered the weather ponies to make snow even though it was the middle of summer. They did so even with just a few small tiny little questions, and they had just enough time to build a snowman before it slowly melted away. “Well, that was done fast, now what shall we do next?” “I was thinking that we could go over to the spa,” Celestia said. Luna’s eyes lit up as she smiled, “I would simply just love that sister.” And with that said they went over to the spa and got the very best treatment ever, perfectly fit for a princess, or rather two of them instead. “Oh my,” Luna said groaning with pleasure, “This is just simply perfect.” Celestia smiled and giggled, “I know, right? And want to know the best part about this? I can finally get the chance and opportunity to spend the whole entire day with you!!! I mean just think about that, you and me together for a full day doing whatever we wanted without any kind or sort of interruption whatsoever!!!” Luna smiled, “I just simply love the idea of that, but perhaps maybe we should set aside more time and days so that we could do that more often.” Celestia smiled, “I like the way that you think, sister, and I’m sure that it can be arranged, but for now let’s just enjoy the day that we have, shall we?” Luna smiled, “Yes, let’s.” And with that said they enjoyed the rest of the day all alone completely uninterrupted as they then went to the park and had lunch and snacks, went to the zoo and had even more food and snacks, and then ended the day with a very simple meal at their local city and not something elegant and grand which that food had become quite boring now that they had it every single day. And when the day was finally over Celestia sighed as she waved her sister goodbye, she enjoyed today, and she would probably hate tomorrow, and she wanted and hoped that she could do this again sometime very soon. But for now, at least she still had today.
Prompt #74: Mirror, MirrorView OnlineThirty Minute PromptsPrompt #74: Mirror, MirrorMirror, Mirror Rarity looked at the mirror on the wall and smiled to herself. “Mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest one of them all?” It didn’t respond naturally enough of course (what did you expect? A story about a talking mirror driving her to be crazy and insane? Don’t be so silly and ridiculous, I mean who do you think that I am, really?). She smiled as she curled her hair with her comb, oh the so many great sacrifices that she had to make to be beautiful, but at least it would all be worth it. “Oh, course it will my dear, after all, you’re me.” Wait, what was that, who was talking? “Over here darling, right in front of you.” Rarity turned to identify the speaker and was greatly surprised and shocked to see that it was none other than an image of herself in the mirror. “But how?” she said. “Well I’m a magic mirror silly, and I decided not to talk until now because I really don’t like to answer very ambiguous or opinion based questions, however facts and figures on the other hoof, well that I can do in a pinch of salt.” “Well who enchanted you then exactly though?” “Why the great and powerful Star Swirl of course.” “Yes, of course, but what’s your purpose exactly?” “Comfort, support, a thing to talk to, a reflection of your true real deep inner self, a mirror of knowledge, facts, and figures, basically my purpose can change depending upon my current owner, and right now that would be you of course.” “Do you have a name though?” “Yes, you can call me Silver, that’s what Star Swirl used to call me and no owner of mine has ever bother to try changing it either. The name has stuck ever since.” “Well alright, fine then, Silver, uh, so what can I do with you then exactly though?” “Whatever you want, darling, I’ll always be here for you no matter what happens to you or me, but I would highly suggest that you don’t try breaking me, I have a very powerful and ancient spell on me that would only instantly reassemble my various random parts until pieces., so if you could possibly perhaps quite not break me at all ever that would be really ever so helpful and kind of you.” “Uh, well I guess I can do that,” Rarity said. “Good then, we’re already off to a great start,” Silver said, “Would you like to know something first or would you like to teach me instead.” Rarity groaned, “Oh great, now I have a talking sister to distract me.” “I don’t always talk, I’ll keep silent only if you want me to.” “Well that would be great unless you can help me out with my clothes.” Silver smiled, “Oh, I had an owner in the past who was great at dresses, but she gave me away, although I had no clue or idea as to why, I believe that their names were Calvin Kline and Giorgio Hoofini.” “Well then, why didn’t you say their names in the first place since they’re two of the whole entire world’s fashion designers,” Rarity said shouting and almost fainting. “Well, you didn’t ask, but now you did, well, technically.” “Enough, teach me your ways and magic oh great and powerful mirror!!!” Silver smiled, “Very well then, as you wish.” And with that said the mirror taught her and very slowly she learned and grew very great and powerful, very rich and famous in the fashion industry. But she too, like all the others, gave away the mirror when she had no more use for it, but little did she know that for each time that it was thrown away a tiny little small seed of darkness and evil grew, one infected by chaos and one that would eventually spread and cause very great grief, sorrow, pain, agony, strife, despair, and many more things and stuff too as well. But even if she did know she probably wouldn’t have cared anyways. Too bad for her.
