Twilight licked her lips as she leaned back to glance at the service entryway for the third time in five minutes. Her tiny tummy rumbled and she frowned, rubbing it in hopes it won’t growl at her loudly. “Yeah I know i’m hungwy too, but Dawn Light said that the chef said that our lunch was almost ready!” Twilight harrumphed laying her chin on the table and glanced at the clock which hung on the wall nearby.
She groaned and thumped her head on the table. “It’s been forever!”
The door opened, causing Twilight’s ear to twitch. She sat up straight, just a proper mare should, and smiled as the unicorn stallion carried a plate and small glass of milk.
“Here we are. Sorry it took so long. The chef is experimenting with recipes from other parts of Equestria and has decided you shall be the taste tester for this recipe from Mexicolt. I believe he called it a... Kaycidiya?”
Twilight cocked her head. “That's a funny name.”
The servant shrugged, setting the plate and small glass of milk in front of Twilight. “I agree, but that’s what Dinner Bell called it.”
Twilight took a look at her plate and an eyebrow inched up. There was a tortilla folded into a crescent shape. Next to the tortilla was a sweet pepper salad and a small amount of salsa. “It looks really good and I’m awful hungry! Thank you, Bon Appetite!”
Bon Appetite smiled before bowing his head and leaving the small dining room.
Twilight lifted her fork and poked the tortilla— with her tongue poking out the side of her mouth. Satisfied that it wasn’t going to explode, she took a large bite of her salad before lifting the quesadilla and dipping it in the salsa and taking a big bite. “Mmm” ing at the taste before setting it down to chew, she frowned as the cheese stretched out from her mouth back to the plate. She grabbed hold of the cheese but it just continued to stretch. Twilight growled and grabbed hold with all four hooves.
“Huh?” Twilight cried out as all four of her hooves got covered in the very stringy and sticky cheese. “No you are not gonna feat me! I am Twilight Sparkle Faithful student to the princess!” Twilight growled and grabbed hold of one of the strands of cheese with her teeth and yanking on it. Unfortunately, she yanked a bit to hard and lost her balance; landing so the her left rear hoof got stuck to her tail.
“Oh no! No,no,no!” Twilight lit up her horn before stabbing into the cheese, rolling across the floor as she quickly realized that her horn was now stuck. She tried shaking it loose until she hit the wall with a thump.
“Th-this isn’t fair… I’m Twilight Sparkle I… I” She sniffled and began to try to push away from the wall.
Princess Celestia sighed as she looked behind one of the suits or armor in the hallway. “Twilight? Twilight Sparkle? Play time is over. You are late for our lessons.” She sighed as once again there was no answer. If she hadn’t had to search for Twilight so many times in the last several weeks, she’d have been petrified several minutes ago. As it was though, she was able to keep her anxiety under control—barely. She paused in front of the door which led to the private dining room where she and Twilight ate. Her ear flicked as she heard a soft noise coming from inside. “Is that... Twilight?”
Celestia walked into the room to see her very small student stuck to the wall, sniffling as she weakly tried to pull away from it. Her fur was covered in a sheen of yellow goo and her horn stuck to the wall with a large glob of, ’Is that cheese?’
After several minutes of gentle pulling from Celestia and tears from Twilight, Celestia summoned a servant to bring a pair of scissors.
Dinner Bell took a small sip of the soup he was preparing when he heard the sound of a throat being cleared behind him. He turned to see Princess Celestia standing there with a patient smile, the remains of the lunch he prepared for Twilight in her telekinesis. “Princess, is everything alright?”
“Oh, just a small mishap. May I make a request though?” Celestia asked before setting the quesadilla in the trash.
Dinner Bell nodded “Oh, yes of course, Princess, anything!”
Celestia smiled. “Might I ask that you don’t serve this dish to my faithful student again.”
He blinked before responding, “I, er—y-yes of course. Did she dislike the taste?” Dinner Bell asked worried about what else he would have to cut from the menu.
“Actually, they were just a bit too cheesy for her.” With that Celestia turned to leave allowing Dinner Bell a glimpse of where Twilight was rocking back and forth on her mentor’s back, half her mane cut off and several tufts of fur and bits of her tail missing.
“...So… cheesy…”
This is an awesome concept for why they scare Twilight and I love this chapter.
Poor Twilight!!!
Poor Twilight!
This was great! So cute!
Childhood trama, that would explain why she's afraid of quesadias.
I really enjoyed this chapter hope to red more alone with more of Letters, Celestia's Twilight, and Mother soon
Right when I managed to reconstruct my heart after another Daawww inducing sorry. This happens.
Ah laughed so hard ah knocked mah yolk off!
*sniff* Ah, the sweet smell of childhood trauma.
This story is too damn cute! You're up to something.
Aw, poor Twilight. No wonder she's afraid of quesadillas.
Poor Twilight, striken down by the power of cheese
Oh, poor Twilight! I felt so bad for her but I had to laugh, too! I wonder how Celestia managed not to? She' just that good and kind I guess. She probably did, much later, like in Muffinshires comics. A terrific read and a very nice story to go along with a canon idea. You are awesome.

We hungers for it...
I always buy a huge block of Cabot extra-sharp cheddar at BJ's... that stuff is amazing for omelets and many other general cheese-requirements; the omelets being made with sautéed tomato, yellow banana pepper, and red onion in addition to the cheese. A perfect blend of tastes.
And then there's my 5-cheese stuffed shells: ricotta (after the chimera gets her share) and locatelli romano, for the stuffing, then mozzarella, feta, and parmesan over the top. And made with homemade tomato sauce from home-grown tomatoes, fennel, and basil.
Ah yes, and then the pan-seared zucchini with roasted garlic, dill, and Italian seasonings covered with mozzarella and romano (and sometimes a little feta) in the pan while it's hot enough to just to broiwn the underside of the cheese between the zucchini slices.
Well that's a good reason for her to not like them.
Sounds legit. Headcanon excepted!
Cheese is a powerful force. This is though now headcanon for why Twilight fears quesadillas.

Oh yeah there is no way Celestia didn't laugh about this later.
I'm not sure what's harder on my heart, the calories or the cuteness?
Headcanon accepted.
Nothing like some childhood trauma to begin the day with.
Good chapter though!

Hilarious!
Dangerous stuff, cheese... It can be used to incite international hatred you know. I once bought a wheel of Camembert in the Cheddar Gorge. And a while later I purchased a hunk of Stilton in Burgundy. In both cases the shop owner gave me the most filthy look. Good times.
Hmm... okay. You made the best of a bad/odd non sequitor in the episode.
Cheese explosion! Oh god! It is so funny. I really like the idea.
Here's all the errors I could find, by chapter:
Break
There's two spaces here.
Smarty Pants
Should be "Smarty Pants" consistently.
My Little Human Convention!
Also, the comma after "regalia" shouldn't be there. It could be moved to after "on" or simply removed.
Sudden shift to present tense here...
This should be two questions, and the quotes are superfluous with the italics.
This is a run-on, too.
So... Cheesy...
Whew! Quite a few little things, but nothing major. I'm liking this idea, and I hope there is more to come.

That actually makes sense poor Twilight.

Two Ideas:
1) Twilight trying to get Celestia into playing video games.
and
2) Twilight LARPing with Tia as a magic training exercise + playtime [I mean if you could actually do spells. DnD [ponified], Vampire the Masqurade, or any Paper and Dice Game would be the best thing to not only build imagination, but study spell casting / ethics / socializing / politics / many other useful skills for a mage in the beurocracy.]
That and in both things it can carry over to adult hood and Twilight (and / or ) Tia can play with Luna. And the gaming one sets up the Gamer Luna fics.

My wife is descended from UK gypsies, and she has never once stolen a baby... Though maybe I need to get a paternity test on my daughter. Lol.
Awww poor little Twilight was still cute though and I love how Celestia acts in this story.
In technicolor ponyland, lunch eat you.
This is a very good explanation for Twilight's fear of quesadillas.
I think it's safe to say I've found my new headcanon for Twi's fear of quesadillas.

Nice job. I actually wrote my own story called "Twilight and the Quesadilla"
Quesadilla. Ah. That must be why the title is 'So... Cheesy...'. I like me a good quesadilla every once in a while.

OH NO
Such a CHEESY joke!
