Line #2 Funny/EarthAndSky


1	!!Fanfic/EarthAndSky (MLP fanfic)
2	* In the first chapter, after getting scolded, Pinkie Pie's daughter Tootsie gives her mom PuppyDogEyes and is somehow able to conjure sad violin music from nowhere.
3	* Twilight and Pinkie relax at the spa, while Twilight explains how the Glimmer Wings spell from "Sonic Rainboom" might be able to help Pinkie keep up with her pegasus offspring. Pinkie naturally falls asleep when Twilight starts going into the technical details.
4	* Sweetie Belle, dangling from a winch as part of her preparations for playing Princess Celestia in an opera, slips into YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe when she wants to be let down for lunch.
5	-->"THIS DOTH PLEASETH YOUR PRINCESSETH AS WELL! LOWER ME, BRAVE SIR BOBBIN, SO THAT I MAY PARTAKETHETH OF YONDER FOODETH!"
6	* Twilight's attempts at testing her early models for the wings.
7	* The description of a "both barrels" Fluttershy Stare. It apparently is an actual force of destruction.
8	* The hilarious contrast between the super-uptight Luna first seen in "Luna Eclipsed" and the super-casual one seen in this fanfic.
9	* The reveal that Diamond Tiara has grown up to marry Prince Blueblood.
10	-->'''Luna:''' Truly it can be said that you two ''richly'' deserve one another.
11	** That's nothing. Luna makes a joke to Celestia about a changeling infiltrating their house... and then turning itself in to the guards because it was starving.
12	** Which sums up their relationship pretty well; there is just something quite hilarious about how much they hate each other.
13	** [[spoiler: Chrysalis']] response when the joke becomes a prophesy. "That's just my luck" indeed.
14	* Luna parodying the usual "swear in Celestia's name" thing when commenting to Celestia about the way the group's dolled up for the opera.
15	-->"So help me ''you'', they are all just ''working'' it tonight."
16	* Luna runs her evening court like a late night talk show.
17	* Luna in general, really.
18	* After being told by Twilight that Celestia finds the opera written about her to be absolutely hilarious -- particularly one beautiful but overwrought aria given to the Princess' fictional equivalent -- Sweetie Belle runs with it during her performance, broadly and obviously winking at the real Celestia while singing the aria in question. This results in both of the princesses literally ''falling out of their chairs laughing''. Picture that for a moment.
19	** And now picture the barely-controlled madness that ensues when the other performers in the opera, following Sweetie's lead, spend the rest of the performance [[WorldOfHam mercilessly overacting]].
20	* Professor Destiny's attempt to sabotage Twilight and Pip's test flight in chapter 15 backfiring. He clearly didn't think through a unicorn standing close to a magic-seeking missile…
21	** Plus his encounter with Pinkie Pie near the end of the chapter. She somehow recognizes him despite the name change, the dye job, and the fact that he's covered in soot at the time.
22	** After Pip and Soarin return with help to put out the fire, Apple Bloom calls Pip "my hero" and gives him a big, wet smooch on the lips. Thanks to the fact that he's still wearing the flight harness, Pip immediately becomes the first ''earth pony'' ever to get a wingboner.
23	* Pinkie gets another one in the following chapter when it turns out that AJ and Rarity ''did'' tell her about the flight harness, but she deliberately ''forgot all about it'' because she figured Twilight would want to be the one to tell her.
24	* Apple Bloom and Pip, thinking they have the house to themselves, decide to go make out in the living room... only to find [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Macintosh]] standing right behind them. He suggests they play Parcheesi instead.
25	** Destiny's second attempt to sabotage the flight harness doesn't go any better than the first, and ends with a sick bird crapping on him.
26	* Sweetie Belle picking the group up at the train station -- by yelling for them so loud she temporarily deafens the entire station.
27	** Then, when she recognizes Pip, she comments that he's gotten "sma-hoking" hot and expresses mild disappointment that he and Apple Bloom are going steady. AB responds by clutching Pip's hoof so hard that she actually hurts him a bit.
28	* Barking Pony's brief cameo.
29	* Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Shining Armor all [[FacePalm face-hooving]] at the same time when Twilight hastily accepts Professor Destiny's challenge.
30	* Otto hitting on Diamond Tiara, and her annoyance with it.
31	* Diamond Tiara getting an ambrosia salad in the face…and Blueblood's suggestion to his butler she get another one for breakfast the following morning, while she's raging in another room.
32	* According to Luna, Manehattan used to be called "Mane Hat". It was one of [[CloudCuckoolander Chancellor Puddinghead's]] "outside yon chimney" ideas. The other founders never let her christen a new town again after that.
33	* In Chapter 21, while a distraught Applejack drags Soarin off to talk him out of participating in the Pegathalon, Fluttershy gently tries to calm down an overprotective Big Macintosh. And it works, too:
34	--> "No glowering at the table, big bunny. And no crushing your sisters' coltfriends' skulls either. Okay?"
35	* Rainbow Dash's [[{{Squee}} reaction]] when Twilight tells her that Soarin' and Applejack are dating. And then her embarrassment when she realizes that the entire room is now staring at her.
36	* The existence of Flies Like Thunder, a [[{{Pun}} winged buffalo]]. You may break out the trombones.
37	* Princess Celestia's finding the Flim-Flam brothers have injured ''another'' of her guards, this time causing him to crash through the storage tank of a glue factory and land in a mattress factory. As the hospital staff is plucking the excess feathers off the poor Pegasus guard, she's trying to keep her cool while smoke comes out her ears and the sun briefly glows brighter outdoors.
38	* When Lulong the kirin loses his powers of flight and is forced to drop out of the race, a young Earth pony couple offer to give him a place to stay for the night. As a gesture of thanks, he blesses them thus:
39	-->He glanced between the stallion and mare as his antlers scintillated with a glow of white magic. "Your house shall be blessed with many children of strong limb and fair aspect, who shall each in turn have a gift for decoupage, statistics, square-dance calling, geography, and badminton."\
40	Plowshare blinked at him. "B-badminton…"\
41	Honeysuckle's eyes lit up. "Children!"
42	* What happens to the ''third'' Pegasus guard sent after the Flim-Flams and Celestia's reaction to it. While trying to catch up to them in Fillydelphia, he ends up being plowed into the glue cloud trap they left behind for the other racers by Flies Like Thunder, and ends up stuck to him. When he calls Celestia to tell her about it, she shouts a BigWhat loud enough to wake up Luna (and momentarily shock her back into YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe), before settling into a TranquilFury, with flames starting to lick out of her ears.
43	-->'''Flies Like Thunder''': Hey paleface! How did She Who Tells The Sun take the news?
44	-->'''Sir Champion''': (noting the reddish color of the early afternoon sun) Not well...
45	** Flies Like Thunder's incredibly relaxed attitude to their predicament just makes it funnier.
46	** When Champion gets out of the hospital, it's revealed that the solvent that removed the glue rendered his mane and coat bright pink. His friend/teammate Sir Charger doesn't let him live it down.
47	--> Shut ''up'', Charger!
48	* You know Luna's joke above about the changeling who tried to feed on Diamond Tiara and Blueblood and starved? Well, this [[BrickJoke comes back]] in chapter 29, when [[spoiler: Chrysalis impersonates Diamond Tiara, and Blueblood can instantly tell by how caring she's acting.]]
49	* Blueblood offers [[spoiler: Chrysalis]] a drink. Her casual response?
50	-->"Alcohol makes me spew caustic foam from my [[BizarreAlienBiology splanch]]."
51	* In Chapter 30 Braeburn, now the mayor of Appleloosa, runs into all sorts of trouble trying to prepare to greet the entrants in the Grand Pegathalon, which culminates in him desperately trying to find someone to present with the key to the city (the Wonderbolts are trying to track down the Harmony Aeronautics team, and the Negasi from Hollow Shades get escorted off to the tavern after overheating in their sun-proof black jumpsuits). He ends up foisting it on the team from Los Pegasus.
52	-->"Welcome t' Appleloosa. Here's th' key to th' city!"\
53	Golden Bay cast a nervous look at his life partner Granola then held up a hoof of his own. "Whoa. Bad vibes, dude. Nopony's gonna wanna hang here if you're gonna harsh their mellow as soon as they land."\
54	The beleaguered mayor snorted a puff of steam out of his nostrils and shoved the key at them with a growl. "Are you two hippies gonna take this here key off o' me, or are we gonna have t' throw pies at y'all?"
55	** Not to mention how they take the camera bulb's flash, which results in their eyes going wide and both of them going "Whoooooooaaaa…"
56	* In chapter 31, when Destiny and Insanity make the the mistake of walking into the Salt Lick. First the bar-tender offers them some cider, which is apparently still a word [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain they never want to hear again]]. Then the two weather-factory ponies from Cloudsdale give everyone in the room the idea to play darts with them.
57	-->"Celestia herself is our patron. You... you wouldn't dare lay a hoof on us!"\
58	Air Hammer shared a glance with his partner, then loomed closer as both Pegasi shrugged indifferently. "We'll make sure t' apologize in person t' her highness once we cross da line in Canterlot."\
59	Ice Tongs' expression darkened. "She's got a lotta time t' forgive us. Either way, we'll be outta da hoosegow before youze bums is outta da hospital."
60	* Marriage Proposals are sweet. Marriage Proposals prompted by something she [[AmazonChaser let slip when terrorizing the]] BloodKnight that challenged her beau to a duel are impressive. Marriage Proposals that take place [[WackyMarriageProposal in the middle of a]] BarBrawl are by definition ''hilarious''.
61	* Flies Like Thunder is back, but he's also bleached the pink out of his hide, which has apparently backfired as now his fellow tribesmen think he's the legendary White Buffalo.
62	* You (almost) feel sorry for Diamond Tiara when she doesn't so much escape the Changelings as [[PityTheKidnapper get thrown out by them]]…which leaves her stranded in the middle of the badlands.
63	-->"I HAATE EVERYTHIIING!"
64	* Chrysalis' sheer disbelief that ''[[ZeroPercentApprovalRating nobody]]'' likes Diamond Tiara. Their emotions are the nutritional equivalent of Styrofoam to her.
65	* Everyone's shocked reactions to hearing that [[spoiler: Applejack and Soarin' are engaged]]. Also become SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments once their initial shock wears off.
66	* When Celestia finds out in Chapter 33 what happened to [[SanitySlippage Champion]] and [[TakenForGranite Charger]], she gets so mad ''her head catches fire and her tiara melts.''
67	** Luna slips into Old Equestrian and reminds her to calm down before she ''boils the seas in her rage.''
68	* Braeburn's panic attack when he realizes that the jailhouse is burning with him in it.
69	-->"I CUT THE CONSARNED RIBBON ON THIS HOOSEGOW! I DON'T WANT TO DIE IN HERE!"
70	** When the others come across Baron Redtail's cell, he's trying to get Gunther to kill him so he can have more honorable death than fire or smoke inhalation.
71	** Gunther freezing in a JawDrop after Greta glomps Redtail.
72	** This exchange after the jail burns down completely:
73	-->'''Silver Star''': Whelp. I reckon since we don't got anyplace t' keep 'em all anymore we oughta just send 'em on their way.
74	-->'''Judge Bean''': But... b-but what n' tarnation do we do without no jail?
75	-->'''Silver Star''': I dunno. Play canasta, I guess.
76	** Braeburn dreaming of Rainbow Dash kissing him while receiving [=CPR=].
77	*** And Dash's SpitTake when she overhears it.
78	*** Spitfire agrees.
79	* In chapter 34, Rarity haranguing one of the crew of the Ambrosia for accusing her of being a changeling. Especially when Celestia's burst of bad temper is timed just right to add to the intimidation factor.
80	* [[spoiler:Chrysalis]] being outright ''terrified'' of the Mane Six. She treats them as if they were the harbingers of the Apocalypse.
81	* In chapter 35, Rainbow Dash suggests to her teammates that they cut through Ghastly Gorge to get around a sand storm. When Spitfire and Shootin' Star have doubts, she says it's no problem and even promises to tell the story of how she got Tank while they're doing it. When we next see them, Shootin' Star and Spitfire are in shock, the latter actually being carried in Rainbow Dash's forelegs, and missing most of her tail…and Rainbow Dash is blissfully finishing up the story as if nothing happened.
82	-->'''Rainbow Dash''': Oh suck it up, Cap. It only got a little bit of your tail.
83	* Apparently, the Equestrian equivalent of the NATO alphabet is all based on food.
84	* Pinkie [[BreakingTheFourthWall doing her thing]] and lamenting how OutOfFocus she and Fluttershy have been since the Pegathalon started.
85	** Celestia has another FreakOut when she hears about the Flim-Flams escaping Sir Concord's battalion. This time, she ''blows up a tower''. Shining Armor gets a shield up in time to protect himself, but not fast enough to stop his mane and facial hair from being burned off. And he seems a little loopy afterwards.
86	*** Just prior to this, when Shining realizes he has to break the news to her, he [[INeedAFreakingDrink takes out a bottle of liquor and a glass]]. Then he puts away the glass and guzzles the bottle.
87	** Sir Concord being turned into a giant talking grape after exposure to Poison Joke. In other words, a Concord Grape.
88	*** And how does Fluttershy convince Concord the Poison Joked guards need to be treated at the spa? By ''giving him The Stare''.
89	* In Chapter 38, Chrysalis manages to successfully impersonate Rarity and make everyone think she's a changeling, only to almost immediately afterwards [[NiceJobFixingItVillain blow her cover in an attempt to avoid getting arrested for Diamond Tiara's crimes.]]
90	-->"Oh, ''mucous''…"
91	** There's also mention made of poor Rarity getting the [[NoodleIncident Sparkle Method]] to see if she's a changeling or not. And Twilight's reaction after getting an angry phone-call from Rarity about what happened:
92	-->"Sweet Celestia's back dated library card, is it too much to ask for us to stop in town without somepony getting arrested?"
93	** Pip finally getting the point of Big Mac's [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer little heart-to-heart]]…''[[BrickJoke twenty-eight chapters later]]''.
94	* Luna, by now dreading Celestia's {{Freak Out}}s, figuring she should probably get some sunglasses before she tells her about Chrysalis escaping custody.
95	* Redtail freaking out over his feelings for Greta, which are messing with his warrior code of honor.
96	-->"My thoughts are disordered. It is as if I am mad, or under a spell. Vhy do I care how soft and sleek my maidservant's pelt is? How graceful the tapering of her primary feathers. The vinsome shyness of her smile. The sveet music of her voice. Vhy do I notice the color of her eyes, or how the sunlight shines in their bottomless depths? Vhy am I talking in bad poetry all of a sudden?"
97	* Right before Soarin's duel with Redtail, Apple Bloom gives him a good luck peck on the cheek on behalf of the absent Applejack. This leads to all the other mares giving him more good luck kisses. When the dumbstruck Soarin' turns to Shootin' Star to see if he's ready for the duel:
98	-->'''Shootin' Star''': [[DeadpanSnarker I ain't kissing ya.]]
99	** During the duel, Rarity does a dramatic faint over the excitement... and then complains that no one caught her.
100	* Chapter 42 is filled to bursting with hilarious moments, such as when Spike valiantly saves Quillina from being plastered with cream pies. By way of his Dragonfire.
101	-->A thoughtful look settled on the elegant heiress' face. "So where did y'all send 'em to?"
102	-->Spike's features went blank, a look of horror dawning in his eyes. He let out a groan as he slapped his forehead, muttering an undertone curse in draconic. "Oh [[PardonMyKlingon flargleblargakk]], it's the [[NoodleIncident Great Sugar Cube Corner Frosting Fight]] all over again..."
103	* In Chapter 43, we meet Fluttershy's dad, Lord Hurricane, [[BoisterousBruiser who is]] [[NoIndoorVoice in many ways]] [[IAmNotMyFather as different from his daughter as possible]].
104	-->"NOW THAT THE TWINS HAVE FLEDGED, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE TO STAY AWAY!"\
105	[Fluttershy] looked away, murmuring softly under her breath. "Except preserving my hearing..." She pawed at the ground with a crease in her brow. "... and my sanity."
106	** Even better, he makes a deeper version of Fluttershy's "sheepish grin" squeak when he smiles.
107	** Best of all, perhaps, the description of him is effectively a pony version of ''Creator/BrianBlessed''.
108	* How does Celestia deal with the Flim Flam Brothers once they're finally in custody? [[spoiler: With a ''guilt trip''.]] After seeing [[spoiler: Equestria's beloved leader burst into tears]], Flim and Flam gladly accept twenty years' hard labor on a rock farm.
109	* Diamond Tiara (sort of) reconciling with Apple Bloom, her hatred of whom was the only thing keeping her going when she was lost in the desert.
110	-->'''Diamond Tiara:''' I'll never forget what you did for me, Apple Bloom. I hate you with all of my heart forever. Take care!\
111	'''Apple Bloom:''' Yer... welcome? Y'all... take care... too...
112	* Quillina {{squee}}ing over meeting Celestia, and fainting when offered to have tea with her.
