The Shopping List

by Vanilla Mocha


"Bruh?"

I ran into Celestia's throne room. As I bowed sweat ran down my face, but I didn't care. I had completed the shopping list!

"Rave- I mean, Vanilla Mocha, I see you have bought everything. Please, present me with my gifts." Celestia's voice echoed.

"Your majesty," I said, using my yellow aura to pick up the merchandise, "The banana lemonade, banana jello, banana swirl, banana bread, banana bread, and your Banana Boat." I quickly said in one breath, still panting.

"Hmm," Celestia used her magic to pick up the items one by one, inspecting them carefully.

"Banana lemonade's good..." she mumbled.

I stood feeling nervous. My stomach turned as I awaited the princess' answer.

"Banana bread is good..."

If Pixie did this right, I'll be good, I thought.

"Vanilla Mocha, this Banana Boat..." Celestia began, staring at me. Those eyes. Those scary princess eyes.

"This isn't what I wanted."

"What?! It's Banana Boat Sunscreen! How can you not want it?!" I wanted to scream, but I kept it at a low tone.

"I said I wanted it with Aloe Vera. This has none." The ruler said, her voice bellowing.

"Your majesty, if I may-"

"Quiet! I will see that there is an end to this."

"What do you mea-"

"I said quiet! Now, I want you to become a better messenger for me, Princess Celestia, so I will enroll you in my personal school for talented unicorns where you'll learn how to be more like me!" The princess smiled.

"Bruh?" I asked, feeling confused.

"Great! School starts in August, so I'll see you then! Until then, go off. I don't want to see your presence anymore."

Same to you, I thought, feeling happy and worried at the same time. I completed the shopping list... but now I've gotta make another one for school supplies. And Pixie won't help this time!

Trotting off into the sunset, I facehoofed myself.
