//------------------------------// // "The I.W.C.L.S.?" // Story: The Shopping List // by Vanilla Mocha //------------------------------// "Okay, so I have the banana muf- uh, cupcakes. Thank you both for helping me. Does anypony know where I can buy some banana jello?" I asked the derped mare and the tired stallion. The mare shook her head. "Sorry, but I don't." She said with her mouth full of icing-less cupcake. "I know. Go to the I.W.C. L.S. down the road." Donut Joe said. "The I.W.C.L.S.?" I asked. "The Iron Will's Custom Lemonade Stand." The stallion said. "Okay..." I said, feeling confused. "To get there just turn around, walk out the doors, turn left, go straight, and turn left again when you get the the end of my building. Turn left again when you get to the end of my building." Donut Joe said. I thanked them again and followed the stallion's directions. I turned around at the back of his building and saw Donut Joe and Derpy standing at his back door. "You guys had a back door, and didn't tell me?" I asked. "Yes." Derpy said. "Ugh!" I mumbled. I turned around, and saw a booth. A paper sign with red crayon on it said "Iron Will's Custom Lemonade Stand. I rolled my eyes. A blue bull looked at me. "Hello and welcome to Iron Will Custom Lemonade Stand, where your lemonade dream come true." "Nice motto. Can you make me some banana lemonade?" I asked. "Buy Iron Will some banana and some lemon. Then Iron Will will make you the banana lemonade." The bull demanded. "You don't have lemons?" I asked him. "No. Iron Will got bored, so Iron Will ate all of Iron Will banana. You have problem with that?" He asked. "No, no I don't..." I backed up. "Good. If you want some of Iron Will Custom Lemonade Stand, you must buy some banana and some lemon and then Iron Will will make it into your banana lemonade." "Where can I buy lemons and bananas?" I sighed. "Iron Will know." Iron Will said. "Well, where?" I asked. "Iron Will forgot." Iron Will said, scratching his chin. "Ugh!" I said. "Don't worry, pony! Iron Will has alternative!" He said. "Well, what is it?!" I became impatient. "Go down to the Ponymart on Lemon Lane. Turn right and head down Banana Boulevarde. Then you should be there." Iron will said. "I can't believe this." I mumbled. "Well, you should. Look over there!" Donut Joe said, pointing towards a road sign. Derpy flew over to it and crashed. She knocked the sign over. I walked over to it. "Lemon Lane..." I read, mumbling. "You must be on your way to get Iron Will some banana and some lemon for your banana lemonade Iron Will must make for you." Iron Will said. I sighed. Will this day get any worse? I thought.
