//------------------------------// // These jokes just got fresher. // Story: Pony Jokes for Brony Folks. // by Firebirdbtops //------------------------------// Coming back early from an undersea adventure, Lyra still hadn't spotted any seaponies. She supposed that she hadn't really thought the whole idea through, considering that she still needed floaties, and she tended to stay in the shallow end of the pools she visited, but her speedy return left Lyra with some free time. Without the expected mystery to solve, she felt her motivation waning. Bon Bon suggested that instead of solving the mysteries of the universe, Lyra should take a closer look at her own life. Seeing, once again, the wisdom in her friend, Lyra made a decent attempt at following her advice. She decided to solve a mystery surrounding her own life. Namely, why ponies described her as a mint-green unicorn. Lyra had actually visited a botanical garden a short time ago, and she believed that none of the mint plants there had a color even remotely the same as her coat. She went out to track down a lead. Roseluck, who owned a fantastic flower garden and who had recently begun dating, was her first stop. She told Lyra that her coltfriend had insisted on planting spearmint. Sure enough, the leaves were a much darker color than Lyra. Thanking Rose, she moved on to each of the other botanist or florist ponies she could find. She sneezed past the peppermints, and looked strangely at the Mentha sylvestris, but no clues seemed forthcoming. It wasn't until seeing a note posted by the slender mint, that Lyra stopped galloping around. She looked at her Cutie Mark, and quickly went home, smiling. Bon Bon, still nearby, asked what had put her in such a good mood. Lyra flashed a smile and replied, "I found out what type of mint is my color! Obviously, it's entertain-mint!" Quickie for you. If Shining Armor wears no armor, and Fancypants wears nothing but a shirt, would Buck Naked be a fancy dresser?
