still throwing around the idea of some reserves, but AJ isn't cool with one.

[didntlearnanything]

Absolutely not, mundane! Ain't nopony told me about our worlds being destroyed!

The Apple family...

Granny Smith...

Big Mac...

Apple Bloom...

( The emotion of the situation nearly causes AJ to lose her calm, but she bites back any depression in favor of rage. )

I ain't letting you do that! This is just as bad as that "death" stuff I told y'all I was against!

Trixie told you naught such a thing because Equestria hasn't been destroyed. The Princesses of the Day and Night woul see to it that the world remain undamaged.

[didntlearnanything]

Then how do y'all explain the whole premise of the game itself?!

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

The captains of the ship fillynap us and force us to do jobs. Trixie, however, enjoys the missions she chooses.

[didntlearnanything]

Then what's all this hoo ha about our world being destroyed?

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

Just infantile and obviously illogical stories.

[didntlearnanything]

I guess you'd know what you're talking about here then, huh?

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

Of course Trixie does. After all, she had returned to Equestria recently and found it not to have been destroyed.

[didntlearnanything]

What in tarnation...?! What kinda ponies just lie for the sake of kidnapping?!

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

Apparently, the creatures that do such a thing are the captains of the ship.Trixie deems them to hide behind a room of mice and have a great amount of magic, possibly strength beyond the Alicorn Amulet.

[didntlearnanything]

Strength beyond that dumb old amulet? That's pretty heavy stuff, Trixie... Even if Equestria's all good and fine right now, what's stopping these folks from destroying it whenever they want to?

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

The Princesses will never allow it.

[didntlearnanything]

If they're strong enough to kidnap Celestia, I don't think they'd be able to stop them.

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

Princess Celestia is merely allowing The Captains of the ship some reprieve before their eventual punishment.

[didntlearnanything]

I'm still not wholly convinced. Would sound a heck of a lot better coming from the princess' mouth.

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

Trixie deems herself to be truthful. She wonders why else the captains haven't been punished or their intolerant transgressions yet.

[didntlearnanything]

Ain't it ever occurred to you that maybe these captains are stronger?

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[No.]

Yes, and Trixie has deemed them to be incapable of defeating The Princesses of The Day and Night.

[trixtan]

You've been fillynapped?! [His horn glows a dangerous white.] Have they hurt you? Why didn't you tell me?!

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[Woah her son.]

The Great and Powerful Trixie luckily has never been injured physically, but the things the captains sometimes do are beyond tolerance.

[Her face darkens.]

Such as everything turning into cake, including water.

[trixtan]

That can't be good for your health. Why didn't you tell me this place you're at is so awful? You acted like everything was fine when I first came here!

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[Honestly? She had forgotten about The Drive and what it does at the end of every month. Spending a year in Equestria tends to push those memories to the back of her head, especially when her reputation was ruined because of an Ursa Minor.]

The Great and Powerful Trixie is perfectly fine. She just has to find a working faucet for her to shower in.

[trixtan]

Mom, you're the only family I have. You have to take care of yourself. You need more than a shower, you need to think about all aspects of your health. After all you did to raise me when I was a foal, you deserve nothing but the best.

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[Trixie has no idea what she's doing wrong.]

But The Great and Powerful Trixie makes sure she eats healthily and is physically fit. And that's too true: Trixie deserves nothing but the best, so she makes herself have nothing but the best!

[wallcrawler]

Well, could always give my place a shot. World doesn't get destroyed, and it might help keep Rarity's freak-outs to a minimum.

Plus, I can't imagine Discord'd like it, so, bonus points for me.

[didntlearnanything]

Keeping Rarity's freak outs to a minimum is a difficult task even for us, spider guy.

And wait... I thought we sealed Discord up good and tight. The hay is he doing this time?

[wallcrawler]

She'd probably appreciate a friendly face or two from home anyway.

As for Discord: I'll give you three guesses, and "spreading holiday cheer" is not the correct answer.

[didntlearnanything]

Ain't nothing Discord's better at than causing trouble, that's for sure...

[wallcrawler]

Got it in one. Bravo.

[Yeah, he's not actually impressed by this and it shows. Mutual Discord hate, man.]

Seems to be laying low for now, but his last trick involved turning a bunch of us all crazy. Even made Prince Eric go all tyrannical, and he sent an army to kill any of us who didn't follow his stupid laws.

[didntlearnanything]

Wait... kill?

I knew Discord was a rotten apple... but I never expected him to go that far.

[wallcrawler]

Well, not quite. I meant Eric was the one that tried to have us killed, but only because of how Discord messed with him. Everybody basically started acting like their opposites.

Probably for the best he didn't get around to doing it to me.

All you pony mun are sorely tempting me to app Apple Bloom at Route...

[blankflankbuilder]

Where are you going, Applejack?

Do it and I'll be right behind you.

[didntlearnanything]

Some place called "Mostly Harmless." Ain't buying that name for a second.

And some place with these things called Pokemon I ain't ever heard of.

Just look at it this way, then.

Equestria's already been destroyed, since almost everypony came from it. So if you showed up, all it would do is ease our minds that you're fine!

I'm not helping, am I?

No sugarcube... ya ain't.
