Little Bits

The Founder of the Feast (flashfic; Slice of Life; Apple Family)

“Move your caboose, Big McIntosh!” called Granny Smith impatiently. “I’m famished!”

The stallion entered, pulling an enormous covered cart right up to the vast table. There was a mighty cheer from the dozens of family members present.

Applejack, on Granny’s right, winked. “From Sugar Cube Corner. One of Pinkie Pie’s extra-special specials.” She nodded at her brother.

“Eeyup,” said Big Mac, whipping off the cover. The Apples cheered again, even louder.

“Two cakes?” said Granny, eyeing her granddaughter suspiciously. “What are you up to, young ‘un?”

“One’s for my Granny,” said Applejack, “and the other’s for the founder of Ponyville!”

Author's Note:

Written for the May 2016 UK of Equestria flashfic contest. This had a 100-word limit and the prompt "A Big Birthday Bash!". I had real trouble thinking of something to write this time round, and it showed a bit in the final submission. Still, I've written worse.

Aww. Very sweet, and I don't just mean the cakes.

7284834 Thanks! There's not exactly a lot of substance to it (the 100-word limit didn't help), but it's pleasant enough, I suppose.

Oh wow, that took me way longer to get than it should have. >.< I'm dumb.

How do you think I felt when I had to read it twice to get it... and I wrote the darn thing? :P
