    I figured I'd give a little experimentation of something more amusing and humourous, just to see if I could do it.

    It was also a little exercise in not relying as heavily on dialogue as I feel that I have been recently.

    All critique and opinions are appreciated. :twilightsmile:

    All my lulz are belong to you!

    Very decent short, and I can totally relate to Twi. Well, at least as much as a bipedal can relate to an equine.

    I dare say your experiment went pretty well :moustache:

    I shall allow Rainbow Dash to express my feelings on this fic for me.  Take it away, Dashie

    The ending sentence... :rainbowlaugh:

    Poor Twi. I like this story's length--not so long that the words drag on, but not so short that it feels rushed. And the Celesti-Os? Awesome. xD

    For some reason I want to know so much more about the cereal.

    Does it have marshmallow princesses?  Is there a sub-variant in chocolate for Luna?  Did the manufacturers have to get permission to use the royal image?  Are there cute little quizzes on the back that contain random whimsical facts about Celestia that even Twilight doesn't know?

    And above all else, is the fact that Twilight habitually consumes her mentor for breakfast SYMBOLIC in any way either terrifying or adorable?!

    Ah well, a simple but cute short, nonetheless.  Kind of wish you'd thrown in more about where poor Spike was though - it seems uncharacteristic to allow him off without supervision.

    Clearly it has tiny yellow marshmellow Tiaras.

    Harmoni-Os Has 6 colored marshmellows with flavours like Vanilla baloons, Lavander stars, Daffodil butterglies, Apple flavoured Apples, Rainbow clouds, and of course pure marshmellow (white) diamonds

    Lun-Atycs are half chocolate/half vanilla spheres that represent the different phases of the moon. They come with a cardboard silver tiara and slippers to play Luna dreesup!

    This sort of thing happens to me every night.  Is it comedy - or horror?

    Good ending.  Nit-pick:  Bed linen is never dry-cleaned, because dry-cleaned bed linen can be fatal due to the toxic fumes emitted by dry-cleaned items.  I know this because some sleeping bags come with warning labels (see under DO NOT DRY CLEAN at that link) saying never to dry clean them because of toxic fumes.  (Why, then, do we wear dry-cleaned clothing?  Good question.  I don't.)

    First off, I really enjoyed this story, and I wish I could find more like it.  I laughed my head off at the end, mainly because that happens to me all the time.  I can totally see Twilight doing stuff like this; I think you captured her character very well.  Definite thumbs up and fave.  

    However, being the utter nitpicker that I am, I just have to point out a few things that stuck out to me:  "The Owl Pellets weren’t in its usual place." should be either "The Owl Pellets weren't in their usual place" or "The box of Owl Pellets wasn't in it's usual place" and the phrase "she could swear it" just sounds weird to me.  I think the sentence might sound more natural if you moved that phrase to the front of the sentence into something like "She swore that the inventory was different each time...etc. etc."  There are also a few times where I feel like the commas are unnecessary.  For example: "Twilight growled under her breath as she began systematically rearranging the pantry, in the hopes that she would find what she was looking for" doesn't really need a comma at that point in the sentence.  "rearranging the pantry in the hopes that..." would work perfectly fine.

    You should also consider extending the story a bit.  The more travails Twilight has to go through before getting to bed, the funnier the punchline at the end will be.  

    But anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this story.  :twilightsmile:  Great job.  :raritystarry:

    First of all, I have to say that this was good story to read. there were many parts to this fic that my nights could easily relate to and I not the only one apparently has one of those.

    However, if i may, I would like to make a suggestion; something to to add to the story at the end(but that's your choice of course; it's your story after all).

    after the last part, have Twilight goes to the bathroom to relieve herself, then go back to her lustfully warm comforts of her bed. There, have her about to close her eyes for some much needed sleep only to get....blasted (in a sense) by light as the first rays of the sun light up the room, starting off the new day....with Twilight not having been able to get any sleep the night before and wanting to complain about it.

    :twilightangry2: Ugh....PRINCESS CELESTIA!!!

    :trollestia: LOL Problem Twilight?

    But again, this is just a suggestion, nothing more.
