Earth and Sky is the sequel to the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic Windfall, and takes place about three years after the events of that story.Twilight Sparkle (now Dr. Sparkle) manages to find the time in her busy schedule to visit her friends in Ponyville. Among other things, she finds there's a bit of tension in some of her friends' mixed-race families: Pinkie Pie's got a Pegasus daughter (and another little winged bundle of joy due any day now) that she's been run ragged trying to keep up with, young Pound Cake recently got into a fight with some of his Pegasus friends who were making fun of his sister Pumpkin (a unicorn, and therefore ground bound), and even the Apples are a bit sorry they can't keep up with Fluttershy and little Windfall. But Twilight's been thinking this problem over and gets an idea for an invention that, with the help of Apple Bloom and Rarity, could be just the thing to solve it…Of course, what begins as a simple project quickly spins out of control once word gets out, and soon Twilight and her friends are caught up in another crazy misadventure, this one involving old foes, new loves, and the biggest aerial race in all of Equestria.Now has a sequel, Movie Magic.

Heroic BSoD: Pipsqueak slips into one through a combination of nearly being killed by the LaFish brothers, his self-perceived cowardice during the attack, and the guilt of all the things he's failed at in his life particularly his breakup with Apple Bloom catching up with him. Soarin' manages to talk him out of it and encourages him to get back together with Apple Bloom.

Graceful Loser: When Fleidermaus and his son are forced to drop out of the race due to the loss of their sunlight-resistant suits, they show disappointment but are otherwise not upset, and even wish Soarin good luck when he discovers it (though the fact that he offered to put in a good word with Luna for Fleidermaus Junior probably helped with that).

I Need a Freaking Drink: Diamond Tiara, when Professor Destiny blows her plan to tie up the Harmony Harness in a duel over patent rights by instead staking the royal charter on a race. When Shining Armor realizes he has to tell Princess Celestia that the Flim-Flam brothers escaped again and turned one of her officers into a giant grape, he pulls out a bottle of liquor and a shot glass. Then he puts away the glass and chugs the bottle.

Punch-Clock Villain: Otto Bomb, who according to Word of God is only with Professor Destiny (and Doctor Insanity) because the pay is good. He eventually gets tired of their suicidal stubbornness and bails on them. The LaFish brothers, who attack Pip and Soarin' during the Pegathalon but claim it's Nothing Personal, were paid off to do it by Diamond Tiara.

Since the Pegathalon started up, we've had one of the Black Comedy variety; Celestia assigns one of her Royal Guards to escort (read: keep an eye on) Doctor Insanity and Professor Destiny, only for them to suffer some Amusing Injury as a result of something the brothers did.

Shipper on Deck: Chapter 10 reveals that Fluttershy ships Apple Bloom and Pipsqueak. Rarity actively ships Apple Bloom/Pipsqueak and Applejack/Soarin. Word of God states that she's also been trying to pair Twilight up with anyone in Canterlot for years, but has had "a success rate that'd make Wile E. Coyote feel good about his record." Applejack and Soarin' end up playing matchmaker for Baron Redtail and Greta.

Attention Whore: Diamond Tiara still hasn't outgrown this. On the contrary, she's gotten worse. Her entire reason for hating Apple Bloom is Apple Bloom's uncanny ability to take attention away from Diamond Tiara. Trixie, surprisingly enough, averts it. She's less concerned with holding the spotlight than she is with the simple satisfaction of being the best at what she's chosen to do, whether or not she gets attention for it.

Dragged Off to Hell: Princess Luna pays Diamond Tiara a visit in her dreams, which turn into a guilt-ridden nightmare that has the Rich Bitch face her sins and the consequences, including Diamond sinking in a sinkhole in the desert as monstrous limbs pull her further down.

Sequel Escalation: Unlike Windfall, which was just a brief fluffy story showing how the Mane characters have branched out in their later lives, this story developed a long-running Story Arc with multiple subplots and somewhat darker themes, including actual antagonists. It also ended up being four times as long as Windfall (and that's just the chapter count).

The Man Behind the Man: Diamond Tiara to the Flim-Flams. She has next to no control over them, but she's the one who sent them after Harmony Aeronautics in the first place, and she's covering for them the best she can during the Pegathalon, all to insure she gets away with her petty schemes. She's also the one who paid off the LaFish brothers to attack Soarin' and Pip.

Noodle Incident
 Earth and Sky (Fanfic) / int_3c0a4666
comment
Noodle Incident Diamond Tiara apparently pulled a really nasty prank on Silver Spoon at their senior prom, out of jealousy for Silver getting elected prom queen over her. According to Chapter 40, it was apparently so horrible and humiliating that it drove Silver Spoon to try and drown herself in the river. Thankfully for Silver Spoon, Snails had skipped the prom to go noodling in that very river, and rescued her. When she came to and realized what Snails did, she fell in love with him. In the present, it is revealed that they've since married. As for Diamond Tiara, well, pulling that prank pretty much made her the most hated mare in school. In chapter 38, mention is made of a "Sparkle Method", which Twilight apparently developed to tell if a pony is really a changeling in disguise. It's apparently very embarrassing and invasive. There's also Trixie's last few run-ins with the Elements of Harmony, mentioned in chapter 39. She tried to out-do Rainbow Dash as "the Awesome Trixie", tried to out-do Rarity as "the Fabulous Trixie", and got entangled with Fluttershy in a "magic rabbit incident" that lead to them having to clean mud and carrot juice off Trixie, and according to Apple Bloom "We were cleanin' lettuce outta th' rain gutters fer days." In Chapter 40, Luna remarks that she hasn't heard from Chrysalis since "that little fracas at Neighagra Falls". In Chapter 42, when Spike realizes he just teleported a bunch of thrown pies to Celestia, he comments that it's "the Great Sugar Cube Corner Frosting Fight" all over again.

Basically, it seems it's still how she would talk naturally, but she's developed a more modern — if still off by a couple decades — form of speech in to fit in.

Basically, it seems it's still how she would talk naturally, but she's developed a more modern — if still off by a couple decades — form of speech in to fit in.

Run for the Border: When Diamond Tiara hears that the LaFish brothers have been arrested, she realizes they'll squeal and implicate her, so orders the crew of the Ambrosia to change direction and head for Mexicolt. This leads to her being captured by changelings and replaced by Chrysalis. After they're disqualified and nearly arrested, Insanity suggests this to Destiny. However, the Professor stubbornly refuses. Otto, on the other hand, ditches them and makes a run for it himself.

Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: Given the B.A.T.'s jet design, it's entirely likely that Destiny and Insanity could have won the Pegathalon fair and square by outrunning everyone else. Instead, their insistence on booby-trapping the race behind them leads to Celestia disqualifying them, ordering their arrest, and granting Harmony Aeronautics the royal charter by default. Twilight even tells them that they could have won fair and square in the final chapter, and the brothers can't help but agree.

The Power of Hate
 Earth and Sky (Fanfic) / int_6a6760fa
comment
The Power of Hate: The only thing keeping Diamond Tiara going after being left to die in the badlands by the changelings is the amount of hate she has for Apple Bloom, whom she blames for everything bad that's ever happened to her.

Slides into Jerkass Has a Point territory after the jailhouse fire when Shootin' Star points out how much the Wonderbolts fawned over Soarin' and how much slack they cut him in spite of his consistent under-performance, which he saw as an insult, considering how much work he put into getting on the team. Even Spitfire admits he has a point.

Celestia of all ponies has a Freak Out when she finds out the Flim-Flam brothers incapacitated the third Royal Guard she sent to escort them. Even the sun reflects her mood. She has another one when she sees what happened to Sir Champion and Sir Charger — her head bursts into flames, and the sun turns blood red in her anger. Luna calms her down, but she still sends a whole battalion of Air Cavalry after the brothers. And she has yet another when she finds out about them escaping from said battalion, resulting in a whole tower exploding and burning off Shining Armor's mane and facial hair. When she sees the damage they caused to Cloudsdale, she gets so angry she slips in Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe. And then subverted when Spike accidentally teleports a bunch of thrown pies from the resulting riot right into her face; everyone expects her to have another big one, but she just has Shining Armor put up a force field and locks herself in the kitchens. Double subverted when she is leaving molten gold hoof-steps as she leaves. Presumably she managed to avoid melting her back-up crown, but forgot to control her feet.

Driven to Suicide
 Earth and Sky (Fanfic) / int_6d332aea
comment
Diamond Tiara apparently pulled a really nasty prank on Silver Spoon at their senior prom, out of jealousy for Silver getting elected prom queen over her. According to Chapter 40, it was apparently so horrible and humiliating that it drove Silver Spoon to try and drown herself in the river. Thankfully for Silver Spoon, Snails had skipped the prom to go noodling in that very river, and rescued her. When she came to and realized what Snails did, she fell in love with him. In the present, it is revealed that they've since married. As for Diamond Tiara, well, pulling that prank pretty much made her the most hated mare in school.

Fortunately Quillina realizes Twilight is upset and explains that it would be way too soon for marriage and makes it clear that she thinks Spike is a total gentleman and that she's looking forward to courting him.

Noble Demon: Baron Redtail, who saves the Harmony team from the LaFish brothers not because he likes them, but because he doesn't want such underhanded tactics to disgrace his people's honor. And then he demands a duel with Soarin' as payment for saving him. Also, the Cloudsdale team may be jerks who are excessively rude to the Harmony Aeronautics team, but they still protect them from a riot in Cloudsdale (caused by the Wrong Brothers' actions) because they don't want anyone to interfere with the race.

Hated by All: Diamond Tiara is hated by everyone, from her employees to her husband. Even her former best friend Silver Spoon, along with every other pony in their high school, turned their backs on her after she engineered some form of public humiliation for her…all because she didn't get prom princess. When Chrysalis replaces her, the best she can feel is tolerance, which is as edible to her as Styrofoam. In the end, Diamond resolves to fix this and find somepony who will truly love her and whom she can truly love in return.

And then on top of that, his airship gets blown up by the Wrong Brothers' errant rockets. And things just get worse for him in the final chapter, as Diamond returns, divorces him, and leaves him with so little that he'll have to move back in with his mother (an apparent Fate Worse than Death).

Took a Level in Jerkass
 Earth and Sky (Fanfic) / int_8cb1a369
comment
Took a Level in Jerkass: Scootaloo, during the party before the Pegathalon. She asks Pip to dance without asking Apple Bloom if it's okay and then when she objects, actually sneers at her and mocks her for being jealous. Considering Apple Bloom's attitude with Pip so far in the story it's not a surprise when it ends badly; Apple Bloom actually tackles her and the two of them start fighting in the middle of the dance floor. Thankfully, Twilight intervenes and teleports them onto the roof, where Scootaloo realizes what she did and apologizes. Diamond Tiara was a pretty unpleasant little filly in canon, but at least she seemed to genuinely care about her friend Silver Spoon and her father Filthy Rich. In chapter 32 it's revealed that she ruthlessly kicked her father off of his own company's board sending him into early retirement and humiliated Silver Spoon with a cruel prank in high school after Silver Spoon was voted prom princess over her.

Laser-Guided Karma
 Earth and Sky (Fanfic) / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: Diamond Tiara's attempt to dispose of any incriminating evidence leads to her being captured by changelings and subjected to slave labor. This is followed by getting thrown out for being so unpleasant and left to rot in the desert. Chrysalis' attempt at replacing Diamond Tiara just leads to her becoming The Scapegoat to Diamond's crimes and a fugitive in Equestria. When she and Silver Spoon were in high school, Diamond Tiara pulled a humiliating prank on Silver Spoon to get back at her for being elected prom queen instead of her. We never find out what the prank was, but Diamond Tiara's popularity took a nosedive for doing it.

Villainous Breakdown
 Earth and Sky (Fanfic) / int_957e5fc2
comment
Villainous Breakdown: Diamond Tiara's reaction to all of her schemes falling apart, being kidnapped by Changelings, and being left to die in the badlands after even the Changelings can't stand her. She is so broken down at the end of it that the only thing keeping her from succumbing to death is her hatred of Apple Bloom and her stubborn refusal to let her rival win by default. She starts to get somewhat better after her life's saved. Professor Destiny completely loses what sanity he had left after he and his brother are disqualified from the race. He becomes determined to finish the race no matter what, and basically turns their flight harness into a weapon and the race into a suicide run, not even caring when they're about to hit the shield covering Canterlot. They survive, and it seems he finally had some sense knocked into him.

Airvent Passageway: After Chrysalis is arrested and thrown in the dungeon in Los Pegasus, she slips free of her chains by molting to filly-size and then crawls out through a vent. Even then, it only works because, as Luna points out, her carapace hasn't hardened yet, allowing her to squeeze through the tight space.

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: At the end of the story, Fancy Pants (having taken over Royal Blue Airlines) decides to enter into a profitable partnership with Harmony Aeronautics, something neither Blueblood or Diamond Tiara ever considered. Likewise, in the very last chapter, Twilight Sparkle recognizes the genius of the Flim-Flam brothers (even noting they probably could have won the Pegathalon if they hadn't cheated like crazy), and offers to get them a parole in exchange for coming to work for Harmony Aeronautics. In the last two chapters, Queen Chrysalis figures out that becoming an actress is a much easier way to get love than invading.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: If Diamond Tiara (who runs the airship company Pipsqueak used to work for) hasn't downsized the staff, Pipsqueak wouldn't have been free to become the test pony for Harmony Aeronautics. Also, in chapter 38, Chrysalis manages to throw ponies off her trail only to end up shooting herself in the hoof when she tries to avoid getting arrested for crimes committed by Diamond Tiara.

Too Dumb to Live
 Earth and Sky (Fanfic) / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Flam tries to bring down Harmony Aeronautics with a magic-seeking rocket. Then seconds later he uses magic to levitate a telescope so he can see the explosion. Suffice to say he gets a very good view of the explosion. He also insists on flying through a dust storm in the desert, even when Flim advises against it. They end up crashing because of it. Then after Otto engineers a miraculous escape from the Royal Guard, Flam manages to convince Flim to keep competing even though they are disqualified fugitives. This is the final straw for Otto, and he leaves the brothers to run for the border. Now for an example from someone else: in chapter 38, Chrysalis, disguised as Diamond Tiara, is about to be arrested for Diamond's crimes. Chrysalis tries to prove her innocence by revealing she isn't Diamond Tiara... and is instantly arrested for being a changeling.

Kirin: One of the racers in the Grand Pegathalon is a kirin named Lulong, described as a deer-like creature with shining blue and purple scales and an ethereal, gold-and-peach mane always flowing on an unseen wind. Unlike the other contestants, who fly by means of wings or mechanical aid, the wingless Lulong flies by means of his innate magic. He hovers, even if just off the ground, all the time — if his hooves so much as touch the soil, he loses his ability to fly for a thousand and one days. After he's tossed to the ground and deprived of his ability to continue the race, he takes to traveling across Equestria as a wandering hero, helping strangers and righting wrongs.

Freudian Excuse: It's eventually revealed that the real reason Soarin's so upset about being kicked off the Wonderbolts is because they're the closest he's ever had to a family (see Parental Abandonment).

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Diamond Tiara runs Blueblood's airship company for him, and sends Professor Destiny after Harmony Aeronautics because she's afraid the flight harness will threaten her profits. Blueblood himself probably counts too, since he's well aware of what his wife is doing and doesn't seem to be doing anything to stop her.

Rarity actively ships Apple Bloom/Pipsqueak and Applejack/Soarin. Word of God states that she's also been trying to pair Twilight up with anyone in Canterlot for years, but has had "a success rate that'd make Wile E. Coyote feel good about his record."

"Not Wearing Pants" Dream: Diamond Tiara has an inverted version of this in chapter 43; since ponies don't normally wear clothes, the Equestrian equivalent apparently involves being over-dressed for class rather than being naked in class.

Our Dragons Are Different: According to Twilight, due to dragons being magic creatures, their physical forms change based on their desires. As an example, she mentions a dragon who lived by himself in the middle of nowhere who grew a second head just so he'd have someone to talk to. This is also apparently why Spike has wings now when he didn't during his greed-induced growth spurt; he didn't want them back then, but has since learned to enjoy the concept of personal flight.

Otto should be a character familiar to anyone who's seen The Great Race, and Pip Squeak's character (including his inability to see the obvious) is part and parcel of the hero of that film, too. Professor Destiny is clearly a nod to Professor Fate, and so on.

Clingy Jealous Girl: Apple Bloom once she actually hooks up with Pip, until Luna convinces her to ignore the adoring mares watching him from afar and focus on the fact that she's the one with him. She's still pretty clingy though; it doesn't help her confidence when Sweetie Belle realizes that the handsome colt she's just been introduced to is Pip and gushes about his looks. This finally hits its boiling point during the party for the contestants in the Pegathalon, as Pip is hit on by every mare there, and he goes along with it obliviously. Then he gets asked to dance by Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom just blows her top. Twilight's "The Reason You Suck" Speech, listed below, seems to have helped finally snap her out of this and it helps her and Pip reconcile and get back together.

Slides into Jerkass Has a Point territory after the jailhouse fire when Shootin' Star points out how much the Wonderbolts fawned over Soarin' and how much slack they cut him in spite of his consistent under-performance, which he saw as an insult, considering how much work he put into getting on the team. Even Spitfire admits he has a point.

Expospeak Gag: Doctor Insanity claims in chapter 22 to have an advanced degree in "osculate-my-rump-onomy". "Osculate my rump" means "kiss my ass."

Easily Forgiven: Silver Spoon accepts Diamond Tiara's apology almost instantly, after seeing how emotionally broken she's become. Apple Bloom likewise forgives her once Silver Spoon vouches for her.

Anger Born of Worry: In the first chapter, Pinkie's relief that Tootsie is safe is immediately replaced by anger that Tootsie left the house without telling anyone.

Surfer Dude: The Los Pegasus team in the Pegathalon, in contrast to the Canterlot team, who are members of an elite flying club and act more like polo players (meaning sophisticated and stuck-up).

Beleaguered Assistant: The Flim-Flam brothers' assistant Otto has the unenviable task of doing the grunt work for two lunatics. When someone comments on the brothers' insanity, he mutters "you have no idea". He finally has enough in chapter 37 and ditches the brothers to run for Mexicolt.

My Sister Is Off-Limits: Despite Applejack being 30, and Apple Bloom being somewhere in the low twenties with her own business, Big Mac is there to threaten potential suitors and prevent Apple Bloom from being alone with Pipsqueak, and generally disapprove of his sisters having relationships at all, while being married with two daughters himself.

Comically Missing the Point
 Earth and Sky (Fanfic) / int_fbd285b7
comment
Comically Missing the Point: Pip completely misses the point of Big Macintosh's little heart to heart. According to Word of God, this is because Pip is such a gentlecolt that the idea of intentionally upsetting a mare is completely beyond his comprehension. Pip also doesn't seem to understand the effect he has on the ladies; in chapter 24 he wonders why young mares keep dropping their monogrammed hoofkerchiefs, ribbons, and even garters in front of him. In another far less comical note, him not realizing that having a marefriend is different to just being polite to ladies ends up with him taking Rainbow Dash's "You need to pay more attention to Apple Bloom" talk completely the wrong way and leads him to break up with her in penance for not paying her enough attention. As you would expect, this backfires horribly. Twilight also completely overlooks Rarity's attempts at matchmaking.

Theme Naming: So far, all griffons introduced in the story have names that start with G. This is based on the fact that they only two to show up so far in canon (Gilda and Gustav Le Grand) are named likewise.

Brick Joke
 Earth and Sky (Fanfic) / int_fe0330fb
comment
There's also, for a short while, ambrosia after Harmony Aeronautics' demonstration of the flight harness. Flim throws an ambrosia salad into Diamond Tiara's face when quitting his job. Blueblood then says that she'd like an ambrosia salad for breakfast the next morning, and the only airship that's able to follow the Pegathalon on such short notice is called the Ambrosia. Becomes a Brick Joke in Part 38, where she's given ambrosia salad as part of a meal to help her recover from being lost in the Badlands.

Evil Is Petty
 Earth and Sky (Fanfic) / int_fe64d5a1
comment
Diamond Tiara is hated by everyone, from her employees to her husband. Even her former best friend Silver Spoon, along with every other pony in their high school, turned their backs on her after she engineered some form of public humiliation for her…all because she didn't get prom princess. When Chrysalis replaces her, the best she can feel is tolerance, which is as edible to her as Styrofoam.
