As a challenge from Spike, Twilight attempts to enjoy the wonderful sunny day inside researching while everypony else is playing. Her research eventually yields a rather interesting toy, and she decides to go find one and play. For researching purposes, of course.

What happens next however, wasn't anything like what she had expected.

This is...an intresting concept.

Ball in a cup, ball in a cup it's a ball in a cup!

Oh no, I didn't catch the ball in the cup! Oh wait, that's ok, because the ball is on a string and attached to the cup!

you should do a sequel where she tries Tangram :twilightoops:

Loved it. A short, simple retreat into 'well written and comedic' town was just what I needed.

I only spotted one mistake here: we can get out cutie marks from it! which... kinda makes it sound like there's a dispenser of cutie marks somewhere. I like that thought.

Rather... sudden Twi-rage there :rainbowderp:

I love ball in a cup. It's so much fun!

Only Twilight would find something so simple as a Ball-in-a-cup and NOT be able to solve it.

There are worse things, I suppose, such as the paddle-ball, the yo-yo, and the Rubik's cube.

First, thanks for the comments guys!

Oops, that was a typo on my part! But maybe there is a cutie mark dispenser, somewhere high in the sky.....

It's so much fun when you get it in the cup. The other 999 times....:twilightangry2:

Eh, she'd been at it the whole day with no success. I'd be stuck between feelings of rage and sadness too...though mostly rage.

831773 Wow, you must suck at it then.

Depends what kind of cup-and-ball you have. I have this one that has a really small cup.

And it was an exaggeration....

It sounded legit to me. I have never gotten the little ball in the cup. And I am an extremely talents individual.

Ball in a cup...I remember when I hated those things. I picked one of those things two weeks ago and just started winning for reason. Amazed my nephews. But I still can't win at the paddle ball thing. That thing drives me crazy:twilightangry2:

Just imagine how much harder it would be if you had two balls for one cup
:trollestia:
:facehoof:

lol Twilight mad :trollestia:

Odd to say but I too have had trouble with "ball and cup", I believe it was my haste movement with the cup that lead to my countless defeats. I find it odd to have cursing for no reason, Twi-rage or not, don't give up so quickly and find a funnier line maybe? Wonderful story all around I can say, humorous and structures, I find spikes sandwich being "massacred" rather violent, other then that I liked it.

Okay, seeing as people don't really like Twilight flipping out, I changed her dialogue.

Also, I forgot to give credit to my prereader and editor The Fanfic Stealer!

Gem

:rainbowlaugh: Loved it, short, simple and err... another nice word beginning with 's'

Well, I faved this since I might want to read it from time to time again, but I can't give it either a thumb up or a thumb down since the quality is pretty meh over all.

Well you read it. That's satisfying enough! :)
