Quick note:
Yes! Here it is, the sequel to MLP meets RQ-
I'm meant to do the notes, not you.
Can I be in the first chapter at least?
We'll see- Anyway, here it is, the sequel to MLP meets RQ! Why am I doing a sequel? Well, I have left some major things out, and if you remember and picked up on the teeny tiny vague clues, you'll know what I'm talking about. There may be a third franchise that may appear, but what will it be? You'll have to wait and see. (Hint, he was sort of in the last story, but at the very end). That is all I will say.
What you have in mind isn't little, also isn't this meant to be a short note?
If you don't be quiet, I won't put you in the first chapter.
Okey dokey lokey! I'm gonna be quiet now.
Sorry about that everyone, anyway, enjoy reading!
A few month had past since Madness Steve's reform. Calmness Steve, who was Madness Steve, kept watch over everything. Same with Origin Steve and the First Curse, they're watching over everything too. Origin Steve took more interest in the ponies as he wanted to know them better while the First Curse took more interest with the steves as he weren't too interested in the ponies, for now.
As for your regular steve and pony, they were thriving. The steve population had begun to explode in numbers. Trade was plentiful, and the economy was booming in growth, for all the kingdoms as well as Equestria. Many friendships between steves and ponies had formed. Overall, the unification between steves and ponies was a great success.
It is the morning, and Sabre is outside fishing on the spruce pier area that's outside his house, in the Steve Village. With him is Time Steve and Elemental Steve. Time Steve has his original coat on, afraid of ruining the coat his friends made for him, which he safely keeps in the Time Dimension.
"I caught another one!" Elemental Steve said loudly as he reels in a pufferfish.
"That's like... the thirteenth pufferfish now," Sabre responded.
"So, out of the ponies, who'd you say you're closest to? Never thought to ask that," Time Steve asked Sabre and his brother.
"Uh... I'd say Derpy, we been through similar stuff. Us two just have... quite a lot in common. She is really kind as well, very kind. Twilight I also talk to a bit, but she's really busy though and don't really get to talk to her. She isn't just running just a kingdom, but a whole nation. Both Twilight and Derpy I get on with really well, but me and Derpy are closer. I also really get on with the CMC. Had to take them to this fair recently in Appleloosa a few days ago, and they're really kind overall as well," Sabre replied.
"There's a few I've started speaking to at this School of Friendship thing, but I'm still trying to remember everyone's names," Elemental Steve lightly chuckled.
"For me, Rarity and Doctor Whooves. Doctor knows time stuff. Rarity knows coat stuff," Said Time Steve. Sabre lets out a little chuckle.
"Yeah, I can see that Ti-" Something pushed Sabre into the water, creating a massive splash, then ripples get sent throughout the water.
"Oh my- I'm so sowry Sabre!" A grey pony head with a blonde mane pops out of the water.
"Ah, hey Derpy." By now, Sabre got used to Derpy accidently crashing into him. Sabre understood Derpy couldn't help it sometimes.
"You alright there you two?" Elemental Steve yelled out.
"Yeah," They said in unison, swimming back onto the grass that is next to the pier.
"So, what brings you here Derpy?" Sabre asked.
"I was delivewing a package, it slipped out my hooves and the less weight launched me," Derpy replied.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ROOF!?" A steve very loudly shouted in the background, and they aren't very pleased. Derpy is nervously smirking, her teeth showing as her nervous smirk widens.
"Oops," Derpy slowly said.
"That must've been a very heavy parcel for it to put a hole in the roof- No wonder it slipped out of your grip," Time Steve stated.
"I'll go sort it out," Elemental Steve said as he put his fishing rod down and went into the main part of the village.
"So, how you doing?" Sabre asked Derpy.
"Alwight I guess, I still get nightmares. I twied to speak to others but it's hard... I only feel comfortable talking about it with the Doctor and you. I wemember it all happening, but... the pain... I remember it, but don't at the same time- It's... so complicated, even the Doctor can't expwain it," Derpy replied.
"I know it's complicated, and it is hard to get over, I know that feeling. But once you persevere, you'll come out stronger than you originally were. Keep doing what you're doing, you're a strong pegasus, Derpy," Sabre responded.
"It always helps hearing these come fwom you, and fwom the Doctor as well," Derpy smiled lightly.
"So what have you been doing Sabre?" Derpy then asked.
"We've just been fishing. Elemental managed to catch like... thirteen or so pufferfish," Sabre replied.
"In a row as well. You can also join if you want to, Derpy," Time Steve added onto Sabre.
"I would, but I got to collect Dinky. She finishes school in a few minutes," Derpy responded.
"I'd join though!" A pink earth pony bounces over to where Sabre, Time Steve and Derpy are.
"Hey there Pinkie, how have you been doing?" Sabre asked.
"I spoke to the author earlier, then I had some Orange Steves at Sugarcube Corner and made... the... biggest cake... ever! Covered in melted chocolate and with sliced strawberries! Also, Me and some Orange Steves have been working on setting up a food competition," Pinkie Pie said with excitement.
"Alright, sorted that parcel for you Derpy. It was meant to actually be for Light Steve at the Orange Kingdom," Elemental Steve said as he came back.
"Light Steve was not there, so I thought I bwing it here so it was safe. But thank you, Elamentel Steve," Derpy explained.
"Light is with Fluttershy and Discord at the cottage, I believe," Pinkie Pie stated.
"Oh, speaking of them, how are they getting on, and the others?" Sabre asked Pinkie Pie.
"Twilight is back to doing ruler stuff. Rainbow is with the Wonderbolts. AJ and her family as well as some Yellow Steves are working on the efficiency of Sweet Apple Acres. Fluttershy I'm not too sure, other than that she may be with Light Steve and Discord. Rarity is at her boutique- We all just went back to what we did before, just with some steves really. But we're doing nicely, thanks for asking Sabre. Not the same story for everypony though," Pinkie Pie replied.
"Oh, is something wrong?" Sabre asked.
"Some ponies have apparently gone missing and other lost parts of their memory of the missing ponies," Pinkie Pie replied.
"This isn't like- It isn't like... loads losing their memories, is it?" Sabre asked.
"I don't think so as far as I know. Maybe they've not seen somepony for a while and overtime forgot them," Pinkie Pie guessed.
"Speaking of which, we should, we should all meet up so we remember each other, like when we all met up at the barn that one time," Pinkie Pie added.
"Yeah Pinkie, since with all that went down, we just wanted to get back to doing what we're were doing. We should all meet up and some point and hang out. We kinda just... stopped talking. I know Light speaks to Fluttershy and Time speaks to the Doctor and Rarity- I think all of us should just meet up, as a big group but not just at the barn, but somewhere different- Maybe at Sugarcube Corner," Sabre suggested.
"Yeah! I love that idea!" Pinkie Pie happily agreed with a smile.
"I weally got to be on my way. I see you all soon," Said Derpy.
"See you Derpy," Sabre responded. Derpy then heads over to a portal, constructed in the centre of the Steve Village, which is connected to a location in Equestria.
"Can I do fishing with you?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Yeah sure, why not," Sabre replied as he tossed a fishing rod to Pinkie Pie.
"Thanks," Said Pinkie Pie.
(At Fluttershy's cottage)
"Thanks for inviting me to your tea parties again Fluttershy. I wish I could stay longer, but I got to attend a meeting with Shining Armour. He says weird things have been happening lately, and we got to go figure it out," Said Light Steve as he is about to walk out of the cottage door.
"Oh, that sounds very important. But you're more than welcome to join anytime Light," Fluttershy smiled. Light Steve then walks out the door and lightly closes it. Fluttershy walks back over to her seat that's the right side of the small round table, that's near the window. On the left side of the round table is Discord, who is sat on a larger sofa. Then there is a simple wooden stool that Light Steve sat at.
"You know, it is quite nice having others around at these tea parties," Discord stated.
"I agree, it's a nice change of things," Fluttershy agreed.
"So, I was wondering... what if I host the next tea party so Light Steve can see where I live?" Discord suggested.
"I think that would be a wonderful idea Discord," Fluttershy responded.
"But what would he think though? I know you don't mind, but I'm sure Light likes... gravity and stairs that actually lead somewhere- Ugh, making sense, but I don't make sense- Uh... uh," Discord asked, rolling his eyes as the thought of gravity came to his mind.
"Oh don't worry, I think Light Steve will appreciate your home. There's no shame in not making sense remember," Fluttershy reassured.
"Oh ho ho ho, thanks for reminding me Fluttershy. What... is the fun in making sense?" Discord chuckled, Fluttershy chuckling with him.
It is starting to turn night time and got dark very quick. All the steves in the village are in their houses asleep, but not Sabre, Time Steve, Elemental Steve and Pinkie Pie. But they are packing up their fishing gear.
"I think this should be enough food. I hope this will be enough to help the village," Said Sabre.
"Can I eat a fish?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"I thought ponies don't eat animal products," Time Steve stated.
"Only on occasions we do, and this is an occasion," Pinkie Pie responded, who got a smoker block already with a block of coal out of nowhere and places it down, then puts 10 salmon in. Once a single salmon had been cooked, Pinkie Pie took it out and ate the cooked fish.
"Fish taste rather salty," She stated.
"Uh, Time?"
"Yes, Elemental?" Time Steve asked.
