NOTE: I wrote this for my workshop, but I thought I might as well ad this as a bonus short-story. It features my OC Hasselblad Photo-Shoot (name by RandomReader)
Hasselblad Photo-Shoot pushed his glasses up his nose as he rushed from the photo-studio, his mother, well known Equestrian fashion photographer Photo Finish was desperately in need of her daily PonyBucks coffee and Brownie. How can she eat those? He wondered, they were always too nutty for his taste. He flew pass Derpy Hooves who was busy trying to shove a package into an already filled-to-bursting mailbox.
He took a quick glance at his pocket watch, a gift from his mother for his birthday, even though he had trouble reading the hands. Looked about 12:15 by the look of it. Dang. I’m running late. He decided to kick into high gear, hoping that he’d get there in time. He finally made it to the coffee house. He burst in through the double-doors, knocking several innocent bystanders out of the way. Panting, he flapped over to the counter, where he saw the pony behind it looking at him with a somewhat glazed look in his eyes. “Hey Coffee Grinder, the standard, For Mom.” Hasselblad said, between gasps for air.
The mocha-colored unicorn lazily looked up from his copy of Watchponies, nodded turned and proceeded to fill a nice big cup of Triple-Grande Hazelnut Latte, Photo Finish’s favorite, and then lazily walk over a pull a brownie out of the little container on the counter. He levitated the cup and brownie over to Hasselblad and then proceed to return to reading his comic book.
“Don’t I need to pay you?” Hasselblad asked. “Huh?” Coffee Grinder looked up from his comic book again. “Oh yeah. Whatever dude. That’ll be 10 bits.” Coffee Grinder said, Hasselblad reached into his pocket and pulled out the money, “Here you go, thanks!” At that he turned and proceeded to fly out of the coffee house at top speed and make his way back to Photo Finish’s studio. “Mom! I’ve got your coffee!” “Vhat? Ach! Hasselblad! You’re here! Danke.” At this she took the coffee and brownie from Hasselblad and drank it in one gulp and then turned and returned to her photo shoot. Hasselblad, tried from flying so fast back and forth, simply sat on a small chair and proceeded to fall over, exhausted.
