    One beautiful morning, Twilight Sparkle decides she wants a free salad. After a small amount of theft, assault, battery, and arson, she sits down to enjoy what is sure to be the best tasting salad ever.

    ...Or she would have, if it weren’t for the Equestrian Intelligence Service locking her up as a potential threat to national security. Now, Twilight must escape a maximum security holding facility hidden deep underneath Canterlot. And to do it, she’ll need a paperclip, a spymare catsuit, an escape plan, and an alliance with the dastardly Drakbog, King of Frogs.

    That's the joke.

    Now I want a two bit salad. With croutons.

    Ah, good old insane in the membrane Twilight. Is there any better way for her to act? Maybe there's a Dummies book for acting like that! I'm sure it has a checklist to help.

    Very humorous and enjoyable! I think the "Salad?" line would have been perfect for the ending line, but this works too. Favorited!

    “I am the sovereign ruler of Equestria, the sole controller of the very sun, Twilight Sparkle. And do you know what I do when someone asks me for two bits to pay for a salad? I don’t put on a spymare catsuit and embarrass an entire government organization. I pay for the salad, Twilight.

    I have to agree with Twilight on this, but I would have ordered the burger with lots of stuff put in a box then eaten it as a salad.

    I immediately starting reading this as an episode of Sheep in the Big City. Best decision of my life?

    I think "I've read two guides on being an action hero." is the best one liner I've seen. From Twilight, if nothing else.

    Man I think I loved everything about this. Comedy was on point, pacing flowed perfectly, characterization was brilliant (aside from Twi being taken to her logical extreme for premise), even the action, which I'll admit I'm not the biggest fan of in writing, managed to give me a cool, followable mental image. Of course this is all first read raving, but still, I'm confident this is your best work yet.

    He's the king Equestria deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our king. He's a slimy guardian, an amphibious protector. A terror.

    Nobody understands... Twilight's logic is perfect. The world simply fails to live up to her expectations.

    She is not in fact crazy, she just points out the defects of the system around her and seeks to correct them, dragging everyone with her kicking and screaming if needed.

    AestheticB wrote the story, but it was submitted under Arcainum's name as part of some grand experiment to see how much of an impact an author's popularity has on the popularity of their stories.  Now that they've told everyone what's going on, he's uploaded it on his account.

    Finally got around to reading this a few hours ago, and, as expected, it was hilarious. The moment Zig-Zag opened the supply closet I knew I was in for a treat, and by the time the interview was underway I was constantly laughing. And don't get me started on the Burger Princess scene. I even attempted a vocal reading of this story, but I couldn't get past that part largely because I couldn't stop giggling whenever the manager said anything too Titan-ish.  Now I'm secretly hoping this is how the Immortal Game is going to conclude.

    Beautiful comedy work here.  Yes, Twi's faults are exaggerated for comic effect, but the comic effect in this case is so immensely satisfying that one doesn't even care.  Wonderful character work on The Manager and the EIS Director, and the eventual introduction King of Frogs pulls the whole thing delightfully close to "What the Fzck Am I Reading" territory without ever going there.  Love the choreography of the gravity-shifting parts as well.  Absolutely faved, and I only regret that the fancy formatting of the title causes FIMFiction's .epub renderer to choke and die, or I'd be saving a copy to my Fancy Mobile Device as well.  A+, will read again.
