>Teleporting unseen back inside, you continued your work and found an official letter from the griffon kingdom saying they're sending a dignitary to see you in person tomorrow night!
>Freaking out over what to do, you quickly wrote a letter to Celestia asking for help, which Spike was less then trilled to do
>Impatiently waiting on a reply, you tried to pass the time reading up on griffon's, but that didn't help your nerves as the history of a predatory rather was rather....graphic
>When you went to ask Spike if there was a reply from Celestia yet he was gone, so you disguised yourself and went looking from him, eventually finding him at Sugar Cube Corner
>Pinkie immediately saw through your disguise and flipped out, jumping on top of you and screaming that something wasn't ready yet.
>Explaining you were just here for Spike she let you for and returned to the kitchen, followed by the sounds of explosions.
>Spike seemed annoyed with something, but then spit up Celestia's letter, which gave you gentle reassurance that you could handle this. It seems to simply be just a formal get together, something Celestia know's you can do.
>You and Spike returned home to plan on what to do, only to find the mayor at your door now
>She was excited to show you that, in addition to the griffon, many visitors and representatives from all over Equestria are coming to Ponyville to see you
>Still trying to wrap your head around your mounting problems you made a list of the things you'll need
>The mayor promptly had a emotional break down, fearing that you were going to be replacing her, but you did your best to reassure her that wasn't going to happen. Probably.
>You returned with Spike to Pinkie to help you plan this party like event, but she was too busy with whatever her big surprise was.

>You went to Rarity's for help on decorations. She agreed to help, though she seemed a little....odd, having spent all night designing you a royal ensemble. You don't think she's been sleeping.
>You then went with Spike to Applejacks for help on catering the event. You found her resting after a hard day of getting ready for cider season
>After taking off your disguise to better talk with her, Applejack started acting completely differently, calling you all sorts of honors and bowing constantly.

You and Spike are currently in Sweet Apple Acres, doing your best to try and ask for help from Applejack, but you can hardly get her to say anything before bowing down in your presence like a wind up doll!

"Applejack, please," You plead. "You really don't have to act any differently. We're still the same friends we always her."

"Whatever you say, your highness," Applejack says before once again lowering her head, her nose going all the way down to your hooves.

"This is going to take a while, isn't it?" Spike whispers in your ear.

"Shh! You're not helping!" You shipser back.

Applejack is acting strange, but you need her help. And you still have a whole list of othe rthings to take care of after this. And you only have until tomorrow night! And you still have homework!

What do you do?

((Help/Info: You are Twilight Sparkle, newly winged and crowned alicorn princess of Equestria. You have complete control of her speech and actions, which will be determined through majority rule and some finagling if any issues come up. If you want to know things such as INVENTORY, INFO or GAME HELP, simply ask and I will do my best to help. Have fun everyone!))

Magic Applejack back to her feet. Stress again (as politely as possible) that she should just call you Twilight.

Also: INVENTORY

>>9279126
this

Once again, you levitate Applejack back up on to her hooves. And before she has a chance to thank you and call you something else, you quickly cut her off.

"Applejack, please. I'm your friends. We'll always be friends. Nothing will change that, so you really should just call me Twilight and act as we always do."

"Uhh....with all due respect, my lady, I can't do that." Applejack says, nervously.

"What? Why not?"

"Well, you see....its just...." Applejack struggles to find the words. "Ponies of your position need a certain kinda etiquette. It just wouldn't be right to do something wrong to embarrass or offend a pony like you."

"But Applejack, you don't embarrass me. I'm proud to have a pony like you as a friend."

"Well that's just it. A pony like me would need to act special polite for a pony like you." Applejack pauses for a moment before making to bow again. "Your graciousness."

>>9279549
Command applejack to call you Twilight and to treat you normally.

>>9279549
Applejack, please. PLEASE listen to me, I am still the same Twilight, title or no title, wings or no wings. Please, for me, just treat me like you used to--treat me like a friend.

If this works, gently inquire about catering for the upcoming event. We need to wrap this up soon so we can attend to other duties

>>9279689
Try this first.
If it doesn't work then do this
>>9279665

>>9279549
Alright whatever Mud Pony, I got shit I need you to do.

Make as many apple pies or whatever cause I got a huge ass party coming up with a bunch of foreign boffins.

So get on it peasant.

>>9279850
Second.

"Applejack, please. PLEASE listen to me, I am still the same Twilight, title or no title, wings or no wings. Please, for me, just treat me like you used to--treat me like a friend."

"But I am. This is the bset way I can think of to help a pony so deserving of your station, most honorab-"

"APPLEJACK!" You yell, your patience freying. Applejack snaps up from her half bow as if lightning just struck. "I COMMAND you to just call me Twilight and to treat me normally. Am I clear?"

"Yes Twilight!" She snaps back without missing a beat, eyes wide.

"Good!"

"Gee, Twilight, you can be really scary sometimes, you know?" Spike says from on your back.

"Oh shush. Anyway, Applejack, now that we're on the same page I wanted to ask you help."

"Sure thing, yo...uhh, Twilight."

"To make a long story short, an ambassador from the griffon kingdom and a whole bunch of ponies from all over Equestria are coming here to meet me tomorrow night! I need your help to cater it, considering how great a cook you are."

"T-tmorrow night?"

"That's right. Is something wrong?"

"Yes. I mean no. I mean, I want to help, but its cider season as you can see. The whole family is busy as beavers right now, especially since Applebloom got the bright idea to run off today to start a lemonade stand with her friends."

"Yeah, I saw them."

"I'll help ya, Twilight, but being short handed is going to make things rough. Not to mention the other problem."

"Other problem?"

"Tomorrow night the weather team has scheduled for a big storm or something. It'll probably rain out your whole get together."

>>9280265
FUCK!
Can we make it an indoor thing?
Is there a convention hall in Ponyville?

>>9280344
((At the moment you have yet to even decide on the venue for the event. Its on the list. And there is a number of possible places that could host, but you haven't checked out any yet))

Let's go find the weather team and ask them to post-pone the storm.

>>9280444
Okay, excellent.
Rule out any outdoor venues from our mental checklist.
Try to relax, and tell AJ that it won't be a problem if we can make this an indoor thing.

Tell AJ we'll be back later to check up on her, and help her out if there's anything we can do. Then we need to scout the possible locations (indoors) for this gathering.

You go over your mental checklist and remove all possible out door locals for the big day. You also take out your actual checklist, just to be sure.


>Thinks we Will Need For The.....


>Food (Talk to Applejack?) (Check)
>Decorations (See Rarity) (Check)
>Entertainment
>Proper venue (Can't be outside. Talk with weather team?)
>Invitations
>Talk to Pinkie Pie (Check)

"It probably shouldn't be a problem if we make it an indoor thing, I guess."

"How about Sugar Cube Corner, then?" Applejack offers. "We always have a right good time there for big get togethers."

"Maybe. Anyway, thanks for your help, Applejack! I'll come check up on you later."

"Alright then. Good luck with everything, your ma....uh, Twilight!" Applejack says, waving you off.

You and Spike head back to towards greater Ponyville. The sun is turning in the sky and soon it will be sometime in the afternoon. Where should you go and what should you do first.

>>9280914
Weather team first.
If they can't postpone the storm, or if it looks like we NEED to have a storm, we can always head to SCC and ask.

Lets go home and go to bed.

>>9281001
This.

Also, (I forget what we have Pinkie doing, if anything), but wouldn't she be good for handling the invitations?

"I guess we should try and find a pegasus pony and see what the weather team is up to." You say as you and Spike return to town.

"Look, there's one!" Spike says, pointing over your shoulder. "That's Cloudkicker, I think."

"Right," You trot over and tap the pegasus pony on the shoulder. "Hi, excuses me. I'm sorry to bother you, but I was hoping if you knew anything about what the wea-"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" The pony shrieks at you, jumping onto her find hooves and holding her face with her fore.

"What?! What is it?! I'm sorry!" You stammer out, not sure what you just did.

"AAAAAAAHH! The princess is talking to ME!"

"Princess?!" Another pony shouts from a near by window, sticking his head out.

"Did someone say princess?" Another pony in a hard hat says, popping up from a manhole cover.

"Look, its the princess!" Yet another one says, from a cloud directly above you.

"Oh crud," Suddenly a gathering of ponies begins to converge on you again. You only now realize you had forgotten to re apply your magic disguise .

try talking to the pegasus

>>9281511
FUCK!
Ask for Rainbow Dash, quick!
She's still captain of the weather team, right?

"Please, if I could just have a second of your time I need to ask you something!" You quickly shout to the pegasus pony as a crowd starts to gather and descend upon you.

"Ahaha! Oh my goodness, the princess us actually talking to me!" Cloudkicker says, coming down with a case of hysterical giggles and not even seeming to be looking directly at you.

"Please, are you on the weather team? I need to know what's going on with the big storm coming up."

"No one's going to believe this! It's like a dream!" She says, not hearing a word you say. You wave a hoof in front of her face, but she just so loopy.

"I can't believe this."

"Uhh, Twilight, we have another issue!" Spike says, tugging at your mane. You turn to see about a dozen ponies rushing from separate directions towards you, word of your reappearance spreading fast.

"Princess! Princess!" One stallion shouts as he gallops to meet you, but it knocked to the ground by a mare, sweeping the legs out from under him. "Back off, I saw her first! Princess!"

nice that you're continuing it here

Anyway
Either teleport away or try "Want it, Need it"?

>>9282117
Fuck fuck fuck.
Fly away, re-don disguise, come back claiming to be an "event coordinator", ask for Rainbow Dash.

>>9282169
>try "Want it, Need it"
NO.

>>9282174
can we out fly the pegasus ponies?
would it be better to telaport away or something instead?

>>9282250
Good thinking, teleport instead.

"Twilight..." Spike says as the stampede grows louder and closer and aggressive.

"Working on it!" You start to power up another teleportation spell.

"Work faster!"

"Trying!"

Just as the vanguard of ravenous fanatics are upon you and Spike, the spell completes and displaces the two of you to.....

>Select destination

>>9282456
Library?

>>9282456
Library, Pinkie is busy and doesn't want you to discover the surprise

My suggestion is to go to the library where you'll be able to at least calm down and think things over with Spike. You can send letters too

Alternatively, head to town hall and ask the Mayor for help

With a flash and the ussal odd sensation of the lack of motion, you are suddenly now back in hte library. Or at least, a few inches off the ground in the library. You and Spike drop like rocks into your neatly arranged piles of letters, scattering them in a big slam. You periscope your head up from inside the pile of paper and find Spike doing the same and giving you a flat look.

"Nice landing."

"Sorry, I panicked."

"A huh. Well now what?"

>>9282791
Don disguise. Head back to pegasus place. Ask where Rainbow Dash is.

Sorry, meant to post that in MLPG.

>>9282816
This

"We should probably talk to Rainbow Dash. If there's a pony who knows what the weather is going to be, she probably knows." You say, reapplying you disguise. "There, all set. You coming?"

"No thank you," Spike say, crossing his arms. "Between everything that's been going on today, Twilight, you're killing me. I still think there's a stamp stuck in the back of my through."

"Spike..."

"And I still haven't found that gem, so that's what I'm going to do. Hopefully before dinner."

"Suit yourself, I guess." You teleport back out and resume your secret identity as you peruse Ponyville. Talking with random pegasus ponies also leads you to the conclusion to ask Dash, so you head to her place right away.

Standing on the ground just under her house you get ready to call up to her like you ussualy do out of reflex....but, seeing as you have wings now a thought occurs to you, so you fly up and knock right on her front door. The clouds are as stable as when you use a cloud walking spell.

Rainbow Dash opens the door, looks you up and down before saying "Sorry. Busy." And closes the door on you. Rolling your eyes, you undo the disguise and repeat.

"Twilight!" She shouts, excited to see you.

"Hi Dash, I came by to as-"

"I'm so glad you're here! Perfect timing!"

"Uhh....perfect timing for what?" You say before Rainbow Dash slams a bulky football helmet onto your head.

"Flying lessons!"

>>9283239
NO NO NO!
NOT NOW!
BE FIRM!
But kind.
ASK HER ABOUT THE STORM.

We don't need flying lessons right now, we need to know about the weather.

While we're at it we should see if she has any ideas for entertainment.

>>9283279
>>9283341
"I think Scootaloo would appreciate flying lessons more than I would, but thank you for the offer."

Then whatever these posts say

"Actually, I came by to ask ab-"

"Here, put this on! And these! And these too!"

Rainbow Dash zips around you at turbo speeds, strapping on one piece of protective equipment after another. Large shoulder pads. Safety goggles. Horn protector. Two pads for each of your legs. Extra bulky horseshoes. Some thing heavy around the base of your wings.

"There. How does that feel?"

"Dash....wait, this isn't-"

"Oh, almost forgot!" She shoves a teeth guard in your mouth. "There, now you're all set."

"Mmmm! Mmmm!" You can hardly even move with all this bulky stuff on!

"I know, right? Here, let me show you the obstacle course I set up."

Dash more or less carries you down from the clouds to a patch of field a bit aways from Ponyville, scattered with a bunch of little hurdles, nets and other track equipment. You try to explain to her now is no the time through you mouth piece, but can't get through.

"Yeah, I know it's on the ground, but you're still just a beginner," She says, setting you down on your hooves like a statue. "So I think we should play it safe. Besides, I've had Tank doing trials runs through it all day, so you can have a training buddy!"

Sure enough, the tortise is there doing clumsy loops around one of the little jumps. seeing the two of you, Tank flies over in his little gyro set up, but Rainbow Dash quickly dives inbetween you and him as he gets close.

"Whoa! Watch it with those blades! We got a princess here!" She spins him around in an about face like a wind up toy. "Here, go do some rolls or something."

>>9283704
Spit out our mouthguard and shout that we have to talk to her about something important.

>>9283719
this

>>9283719
we should magically restrain Rainbow dash to keep her from interrupting us this time

>>9283818
why not all three?

>>9283719
This

I feel bad, Twilight's friends were only so eager to please her when she had the tickets for the gala.

Pinkie Pie is the only one of Twilight's friends who hasn't treated her any differently (if Fluttershy isn't an exception and we count Spike like a little brother)

"Mmmm! Mm!" You struggle to try and spit the darn thing out of your mouth, but one of those big rubbery kind and it's hard to do with the rest of your practically tied up. In fact, as you struggle, you loose you balance and begin to tip over, un able to stop yourself from landing on your side.

"Ok. Ok. That was good for a first run." Rainbow Dash's says encouragingly, coming to your side.

"Mmmmm!"

"Oh no, did you hurt something?" She quickly darts all around you. "Wing cramp? Athlete's hoof? Sprain? Try no to move it! I think I have some liquid head and tape an-"

"Mmmm-BLEGH!" You finally manage to spit the darn thing out. "Dash, stop!"

She does so, freeze framing like a paused video.

"I just came by to ask you about the weather."

"Oh uh...." Dash looks around, confused. "It's....nice out, I guess?"

>>9283999
Explain further what you mean

>>9283999
Ask if the storm scheduled can be postponed, and explain why!

>>9284056
this while you use your magic to remove all the padding and gear dash placed on you

You explain the situation to Dash as you magically undo all the sports equipment off yourself.

"And it's all happening tomorrow night, which Applejack said the weather team had a big storm scheduled. I came by to ask you if it would at all be possible to postpone it or something."

"Ohhhhhhh," Dash says, unfreezing herself. "Is that all? Why didn't you just say so?"

"I did but yo-"

"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt anything if we pushed it back a day. Mostly doing it cause things have been getting dry this time of year," Dash says, kicking up a little yellow turf. "But it's not like anything is dying or nothing."

"So you'll do it?"

"Sure, Twilight. What are friends for?"

"That's great! Thank's Dash!" You check another thing off your list.

"But uh, Twilight, sicne we don't seem to be flying, could I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Well, its just...." Dash seems to be choosing her words carefully. "Ok so like, you're a big super important princess now, right?"

"I guess, but I don't want that to change our friendship or anything!"

"Oh no, nothing like that. But I mean, you ARE a princess now."

"Yeah."

"And with these strange ponies and griffons and stuff coming from who knows where, there's no telling what might happen!"

"I guess...."

"Like, what if the whole thing is some kinda set up and a bunch of ninja's pop out of cake to assassinate you?!" Dash says, chopping and kicking in the air as she goes.

"I really don't think that w-"

"And you'll be so out numbered and overwhelmed by yourself, they'll kidnap you and bring you to their evil master to be ransomed back to Celestia, unless some brave pony with nothing left to loose swoops in to save the day, crashing through the glass panned window and-"

"What are you asking again, Dash?"

"Can I be your body guard?" She says super excited, striking a dynamic pose.

((OK folks, I think I'll leave off here for tonight. Thanks for playing everyone, ten thousand pony XP for everyone. Next session is as yet undetermined, due to new schedualing issues with me, but thats actually a good thing, becaue it means I can do more sooner rather then later. I'll let people know in the general before hand.

And taking advice I was given, I'll stay for a bit to discuss tonight's session, get feedback, answer any questions, see if people want more or less of something, etc etc))

>>9284634
"If you want to, that's kinda been Spike's job but he can use some help."

>>9284722
Oops

>>9284634
Tell her yes, but warn her not to go overboard on things.
Remind her that these are foreign diplomats and she should only act in defense if we are in real danger.

>>9284722
It was fun but I felt it was a bit short

>>9284722
Thanks for the session, scrubbles.
And I'm glad you decided to do it on /mlp/, hopefully this will mean less dead sessions.

>>9284849
No doubt because I started an hour later and I was slow with small posts

>>9284907
It's cool so when's the next session?

>>9284877
Agreed

>>9284953
I dunno yet, but probably sooner then a week from now, but probably not this weekend. I've more free time now, but that could change very soon

>>9285080
I see any way of letting us know?

>>9285169
I'll shit up the general a day before hand

>>9285219
I'm new here so you lost me

>>9285258
I very rarely use /mlp/ the board and mostly just stay in the MLPG, so if I make an announcement, that's where it will be

>>9285300
I see

since this session is over I think we should do some planning ahead, recruiting some help for for AJ and Rarity needs to happen soon if we want to make sure everything goes smoothly, outdoor venues seem to be back in play since the storm can be postponed (but is that a good idea, maybe a light shower over night to keep things from getting to dry and dusty)
