//------------------------------// // Waffles and a Letter // Story: My Little Pirates: Misfits are Magic // by LittleBoyBlue //------------------------------// It was late in they afternoon. Fluttershy went out to the market to get some groceries. She bought some hay, oats, some apples. But what she really couldn't wait to buy was- "Waffles! Mmmmm!" She soon approached Sugar Cube Corner, following the scent of freshly baked pastries. She arrived, ready to make an order. Suddenly, Pinkie appeared, startling Fluttershy a little bit. "Hiya Fluttershy! Welcome to Sugar Cube Corner! What would you like to eat? We have some DEElicious bagels we baked. Ooh! How about some muffins?! Or maybe even-" "Umm Pinkie, sorry for interrupting, that all sounds yummy," Fluttershy soothed. "But, I'm really just here for the waffles." Pinkie then nodded. "Okee Dokee Loki! I'll be right back!" She then turned to start baking. Fluttershy took a seat at a table. She then observed her surroundings. Just as she predicted. Clear skies with a light breeze. She decided to gaze at the clouds while she waited for her waffles. She was shocked by the sound of a familiar voice. "Fluttershy, guess what!" She jumped from the voice and fell to the ground. She looked up to see Twilight above her, with Spike holding what appeared to be a letter. Fluttershy then got up. "What is it Twilight?" "I wrote to the princess, and she answered! Take a look!" She then signaled to Spike to hand over the letter. The letter reached Fluttershy's hooves, as she sat down to read. My Faithful Student, After reading about your friend's curiosity, I have decided to answer her question. She shall come to the castle at dawn to hear a much needed explanation. Your teacher, Princess Celestia Fluttershy nearly fell out of her seat again. "I-I-I get a meeting...with the Princess?" She asked, still shocked. "Yep!" Twilight said. "Tonight at 6!" "Oh my." "Waffles are ready!" Pinkie yelled out. Fluttershy looked at Pinkie, then at Twilight. "Would you.... like some waffles?" "No thanks. I just ate. You go on ahead though. Bye!" She trotted off, leaving Fluttershy alone. Fluttershy then got up and headed to the counter. She was hungry for some waffles, and she's was going to feed that hunger. ~~~~~~
