The Shopping List

"Trolls, and now trolls in Cadillacs?!"

So I was on my way to get some bananas and lemons for some banana lemonade at a custom lemonade stand ran by a guy named Iron Will for Princess Celestia. If Celestia is trying to troll me, she's gonna get it when I return! I thought. I was just casually walking down the street when Tirek pulls up in a light gray Cadillac.

"TIREK?! What the freak? How'd you get out of prison?" I asked.

"No, no, no. I'm Maud Pie, and I am a Tirek Cosplayer. I like rocks." A monotone pony said.

"Are you trying to troll me? I mean, seriously? Trolls, and now trolls in Cadillacs?!" I asked.

"No. I have a message for you." She replied.

"Oh, alright..." I said, still wondering if everypony was working together to troll me.

Maud held up a Magic 8 ball. "It told me you needed bananas and lemons." she said, now staring into my soul.

"How does that tell you- you know, I don't care anymore." I sighed.

"Get in the car." Maud said.

"No way! I barely even know you." I said.

"Okay." Maud drove off.

Everypony has problems here! I have to go home to Applewood when I'm done. I thought.

I continued walking. Forget the lemonade. You'll get that later, I decided.

I walked into a gas station. "Do you by any chance sell ice cream? Possibly banana flavored?" I asked the stallion behind the counter. The weirdest things are at gas stations. The light purple stallion looked like he could be a pegasus rock star, with long fluffy black hair with red tips. He had lip piercings, and his cutie-mark was a mop.

"Nah. But I do sell something close. It's called Banana Swirl, which is basically like banana ice cream." His husky voice said.

I should've known. Banana Swirl, okay, I've got it now. I felt stupid.

I bought some so-called banana swirl, and began trotting out the double-doors of the gas station when a dark gray Cadillac pulls up beside me.

"What, Maud?" I asked the driver, who looked like Tirek.

"Oh, nah. That's just may marefriend doing some Cosplay of me from that show that the new Ponyville princess stars in." The deep voice said. His yellow eyes starred at me.

"What?" I asked, feeling confused.

"She drives a light gray Cadillac. My car is dark gray. Here's some bananas and some lemons for you. Maud said her Magic 8 ball told her to tell me that. Now, if you excuse me, I have some rocks I need to deliver to her." He threw the food out the passenger window at me and drove off leaving me in smoke and dust. I coughed and shook my head. Life hates me, I thought.
