Facing complete cultural destruction at the hooves of the most insidious flavor trend of the year, Equestrian military officers have no choice but to trust the newest Commander of the Wonderbolts with the responsibility of saving the country from the horrifying effects of pumpkin-and-cinnamon brainwashing.
With the help of some random, lower-ranking scout, Commander Easyglider must prove her worth--as an officer, a celebrity stunt flier, and also as a connoisseur of flavored seasonal beverages.
A piece of literal trash that I am terribly sorry for introducing to the world.

That made me laugh out loud. I'm guessing that she doesn't like sand as well.
Anyway, that was just the kind of story I needed to cheer up. I enjoyed the humorous revelation at the end, and I can't help but wonder what kinds of strange stories the Wonderbolts share. Plus, it's always nice seeing more stories starring the group in a positive light. Excellent work as usual!
I was lost for most of this, wondering just where the heck this story was going. I fully acknowledge that this is because I have zero investment in Easyglider or anyone from that era. Seriously, I had to google to remember who s/he was.
Clearly a calculated gamble, however. To prospective readers: the ending brings this all together. Stick with this till you get there.
I liked it—although it had silly absurdities as central to the plot (a.k.a. a certain pumpkin spice pony), you still managed to present it with a stern sincereness that continued through the story. Thanks for sharing!
I have to admit that I found most of this story a cornucopia of wat (not that that's necessarily a bad thing...), but I, too, lost it at the line 7689266 quoted. (Which really should have been in spoilertext.)
So Fahrenheit, tell us how you really feel about pumpkin spice ...
There's far too much heresy and pumpkin spice based propaganda in this fic. :P
That was funny! Pumpkin spice taking over the world! Wonder if it happened here.
This may be trash, but it's delicious trash.

Yeah, this reminds me lot of Skywriter's Martial Bliss, which also takes something totally silly and plays it soberly and straight the whole way through.
7689266 So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
I always look forward to hearing your thoughts.
7689739 Bless you for trudging through with no preexisting character attachment.
7689911 No, thank you! Good to hear the silliness wasn't too much.

Did you mean: My entire life, basically
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, SIR. CLASSIFIED. INFORMATION.
7690024 You'll be converted yet, punk :P
7690078 Here?? Nothing like that could ever happen here...
7690089 Delicious? You flatter me
And oh gosh Martial Bliss is hilarious and exquisite just like everything else Skywriter's ever written AUGHHHH

Great, he's corrupted.
Hello this thing yes it is a good thing and Peppermint is wonderful.
Good jorb!!
7691785 thank!!!
Venting, eh?
I happen to like both peppermint and pumpkin spice. I'm also a huge fan of caramel. I'm not too keen on hazelnut though, which is weird because I love hazelnut on anything except coffee.
Pumpkin spice doesn't actually contain pumpkin! Alert the masses!
Didn't matter that I didn't know who Easyglider was. Character was great, and the story was great.
I mean, it was a whole lot o' nonsense, but it was great nonsense.
This was excellent.
This deserves + 500 upvotes.
