    Description: The Grand Galloping Gala has come again. It is the party of the year, and that draws the Apple Family's outcast, Bad Apple. He comes to snoop, to see his relative, and to be among the glamour ponies. What he never expected to find was a kindred spirit. The one being in Equestria who truly understands.

      Yep. Definitely incest.

      Makes sense if you know a thing or two about royal bloodlines.

      It'll be getting explained in later stories. Gabriel has several stories on the back burner.

      ...My recent obsession with Eminem suddenly has me imagining Bad Apple as the pony equivalent of Slim Shady.

      Bad Apple? So this is a sequel? So we get to find out if Braeburn went through with his wedding and possibly why Granny Smith is a buffalo hating racist?

      So many questions need answering: MUST. READ.

      @Scribejay Though, Luna looks like she was woken up by Celestia, and Celestia has that weasely look on her face, so I'd say she either wincest/princest or Celly wants something.

      Beautifully written and well paced.
      Wonderfully, tooth-achingly sweet.
      It played out like a short film.
      LaVedier, you've done it again.

      I loved this story, and bad Apple is starting to grow on me! That was such a lovely conversation they had. Luna always deserves a friend! 5 stars! I postponed food for this fic, and that double serving breakfast cart at the end made me hungry! I hope Mc Donald's gets new MLP toys when season 2 starts... I think of that... only cause that's the only place still open near me, and I ain't cooking at 12:15AM.

      Hurray! The return of my favorite OC Pony since Nyx! Bad Apple needs his own series. Now.

      it was ... well, it was nice. a good story. i, uhm, i don't know how i feel about the interpretation of male-female gender roles in Equestrian society, though they're well-thought out and grounded in what little we know of Equestria (i'm kinda guessing that this is the same story-line as certain other fics where Mr. Bad Apple features prominently). it's a nice switch-up from the male-dominated Old Culture of Earth but it's ... jarring. to be honest, though, the more i think about it and mull it over, the better i like it. maybe a knee-jerk reaction to 'different' that i need to stop. with the authority roles filled by females in Equestria, it makes more sense than having a female-dominated royal line with male-dominated everything else. hmmm, i like the idea of sexism from this other angle. *rambling nonsense cut out for the sake of brevity, wit and intelligence*

      anyway, i liked it. uhm, yeah. that's really it. sorry i can't be more helpful.

      Gotta love Bad Apple stories. Nice story, flows smoothly, and just the right amount of shippy :D

      Nice story but.... No matter how Celestia is, I dont think she'd just order extra breakfast and leave it at that?

      Well if it was Twi with her sister, but this was not her star pupil
      Also the pic: croissant - crescent moon. I think Celestia is hinting at wanting something, very much indeed!

      Gabriel Does it again, Folks! Bad Apple's return to EqD is flawless and epic as always! I can't help but get the biggest smile whenever I see where he's heading next. I can practically imagine the life he lives, I can almost see him casually floating down the river in a steamboat. Heading for the next port town to find a dishonest mark to humiliate.

      By far one of my favorite OC ponies.

      I do like this anti-hero thing that's developing for Bad Apple. This series has some real potential, and I'm interested in more.

      *SPOILERS*
      Not a huge fan of one night stand Luna, though. In fact, the shipping, light though it may have been, felt a tad awkward to me, crammed in at the back end of a story like that. I suppose it's probably in character for Bad Apple, insofar as we know him at all, but it really just felt like having a nice conversation when suddenly "Hey you're kinda hot" and then the ship sails like it had rocket engines.

      So yeah, that's my criticism, though take it with a grain of salt in view of my general dislike for most shipping.
