Flashpoint shakes his head. "And here I was thinking that I'd get a nice, relaxing day off in some hick pony village. Ah well!" He gets a silly grin on his face. "'Tis for the honor of a fair maiden!"

He laughs and runs towards the attacking creature, skidding to a stop next to Nightmare and Paladin. With a flick of his hoof, he pulls the cloth off of the object on his back, revealing a sword almost as long as he is.

Addressing the creature, he calls out, "I'm inclined to agree with the dame. Regardless of how unusual I may find their forms of recreation, you don't see me tearing down random structures! Okay, yeah, I do, but only when my work peripherally requires it!"

He turns to Paladin. "Things may turn nasty, if you want I could probably scrounge something up for ya?" He gestures to the pockets on his belt.

An utterly dejected Prince Blueblood approaches Celestia on her throne. He bows gracefully in reverence to the Princess before he begins. I cannot express in words how the events of last week have humbled me, truly opened my eyes to the uncouth arrogance with which I have carried myself through the course of my adult life. I have disgraced not only my own family name, but the names of all Equestrian royalty, and most importantly, you name. For that, I am deeply, deeply, sorry.

Therefore, I willingly shed the title of "Prince" as I approach you here today Auntie, no, Princess Celestia. I am here to beg for a chance to redeem my family name, not through words, which can be spun, and spun again, but through actions. Please instruct me on fundamental magical skills, skills which I have regrettably, in my own arrogance, failed to develop. Please instruct me in whatever ways you see fit, if not for my own sake, then for the sake of my son, so that I may become a shining example for hi to live his life by, and not as an embarrassment to our name.

(Anyone who wants to take the role of Celestia now can. I've been kicking around the idea of a Blueblood redemption for a while, but I've been timid on putting it up on the thread because of how much hatred his presence brings. (I'm still very sorry about that, by the way.))

It sounds interesting. Is it a sequel to something, by the way? Also, I could see this storyline presenting an opportunity to use Chargermane in RP eventually...

[EsperDerek]

But... how in Equestria can you have self esteem issues? You're like one of the five awesomest people I know!

Seriously, pretty much everything I know about you exemplifies everything that I wish I could be. Not only are you successful and daring, you're also a fantastic writer and roleplayer to boot!

Even if this does nothing to help your self-esteem, at least take some comfort in the fact that you can channel you self-esteem issues into improving yourself. The exact opposite of what I do, which is to just dwell on how useless I am.

(Plus, y'know you totally earned a fade to black with Midnight. I'm so jealous! )

o/////////////////////o

I... wow. I read this, stopped, flushed a little as my brain processed it, and read it again. This has to be one of the absolutely nicest things anypony has said to me in years, if not ever.

And don't say you're useless. Don't you even think that. You are an awesome pony, and I really wish we could have hung out more while we were in New York. You need to come to BroNYcon in January, and I need to give you a hug as thanks. You're seriously amazing.

(Hehe. I didn't think that little RP would evoke jealousy in anypony. )

You both are awesome ponies, and we're better off having you both around. You both have wonderful qualities and are both intensely creative and positive ponies. Don't either of you think any differently. And if either of you think differently, I'll start having to bring out the drastic measures!

(Also, if you think you both are blushing right now, think of how I feel! )

Rarity's Night

Spoiler

Show

Far too soon their midnight dance had ended, and Rarity found herself wanting so much more. The night was perfect, and she wanted nothing more than for it to never end. To never return to the status quo. This night was literally once in a lifetime, and she knew that when Celestia once again raised the sun she would be unable to every fall into this magical place again. Her eyes opened as her Prince slowly pulled away, and the sight of the new stars, the new galaxy that surrounded them took her breath completely away.

He was beautiful. His perfect visage against the backdrop of the most beautiful lights and flowers that anypony in the entire world had ever been so lucky to lay eyes on. Nothing in her life before had compared to this, and she knew that nothing again in the future ever could hope to.

His hoof gently stroked her neck, and she pressed her cheek to his chest, her breath matching the soft beating of his heart. She gently nestled into the warm, soft fur, letting out a soft, graceful sigh of complete contentment.

She heard his voice cut through the deafening silence, and she turned towards him, gazing up with imploring eyes, finding herself utterly lost in those endless blue pools.

Her cheeks flushed softly as she raised herself so that her eyes were level with his, and pressed her lips gently to his in response. It was not ladylike for a truly graceful mare to ever take the lead, this she knew. But her caring had been banished to the moon hours ago. This stallion had swept her off of her feet completely and utterly, and she would not stifle the night by forcing any nuances, leading or coaxing him into the actions she desired as would be expected of her in Canterlot.

No. This night was theirs, and theirs alone. And they would spend it as two ponies completely and totally enamored in the other should.

"I would not have it any other way, my Prince."

Her lips pressed to his again quickly and tantalizingly, only to bow her head to him, resting in the crook of his neck, still standing, trusting one another implicitly for the support they needed to stay on their hooves. If one could see, they might even say that it was symbolic of the feelings they shared, the closeness of body, mind, and heart, the trust they were willing to confide in one another. But Rarity realized this not.

She only realized that the night was still young, and that her Prince would be here with her until the morning light.

---

Her eyes were completely glued to the flowers before her as they seemed to spawn the heavens above right in her sister's living room. It was a beauty that words couldn't convey, and that frankly, she had no desire too. Spike seemed just as awed by the phenomena as she was. Regardless of what she had seen, the conclusion she had come to about her sister and Midnight's location and activities of the evening... Everything somehow felt right. It was a rolling wave of calm, a powerful magic she had never seen the likes of before.

And for some reason, the fact that Spike had no idea what was causing them to do this didn't bother her one bit.

Spike's suggestion didn't quite seem to make sense to her though. If Midnight couldn't control what type of flowers she created no matter what she tried, how could she control this powerful of a spell through them. It was almost as if the flowers were somehow linked to her and her completely.

She gently brought a hoof up to one of the small glowing pearls, floating nary a foot before her. There was no feeling of contact, but a comforting warmth, contrasted by the breeze that seemed to be coming from within the flowers themselves. She let out a soft sigh.

"It really is..."

It was surely something to be studied, something to be understood, but she couldn't bring herself to stand, just completely mesmerized by the sight before her.

She wondered silently to herself if anypony other than Spike and herself had ever, or would ever see this amazing sight.

Ohmygoshohmygosh! Already working on my response, hopefully will get it out by the end of the night!

Well, bear in mind that it was scheduled for when someone (I think SiuiS) wins the lottery and is thus able to pay for everyone to show up with board games and the like. Considering I remember whoever it was saying they don't actually play the lottery, I don't think any of us will be going.

Really I just thought I'd dredge up a joke from an ancient thread and see what'd happen.
