//------------------------------// // The Gift of the Maud Pie // Story: Responses To A Disgruntled Friendship Student // by keaton-furman-prower //------------------------------// Dear Maud Pie: So, you've had Boulder for all these years and yet you've never got him a pouch to carry in? Don't you think he deserves better? ~Rarity. Dear Rarity: You never got one for Tom. ~Maud Pie. Dear Maud: I was never able to find a pouch big enough for him. And by the time I got around to making one, I'd already lost interest in him. Besides, while he was really hard, he never had the right sort of hardness, if you know what I mean. ~Rarity Dear Pinkie Pie: I'm really curious about the price of a party cannon in relation to a rock pouch. Is a cannon that can fire confetti and party supplies really so cheap that it can be traded away for a puny rock pouch? Or are those lousy little pouches insanely overpriced? ~Princess Twilight Sparkle P.S.: If it had been me, I would have dragged the guy into a dark alley, beat the shit out of him, and kept both the pouch and the cannon. Dear Twilight: I was desperate and not thinking clearly when I made the deal. ...Also, I may have been a teensy-weensy bit high on a special blend of meth that I cooked up using a shard of the Crystal Heart that I "borrowed". ~Pinkie Pie Dear Rarity: You really make a great impression of my sister. You should sell party supplies at your new shop. And maybe clothes made out of spoons. I always wanted spoon clothes. ~Maud Pie.
