    You keep on missing quotation marks, and punctuation before and after them... like commas.

    Pretty simple  concept, a nice, relaxing read, can't say I laughed for the comedy tag, but it's good.

    The review train has arrived! :pinkiehappy:

    1) If Twilight didn't want Fluttershy knowing about the box, why did she bring it up in the first place?

    2) I thought you needed more of a transition from Fluttershy's curiosity to her madness. You just kind of jumped there at the end, and a little more buildup would have made it seem less out-of-the-blue.

    3) I noticed a few grammar errors, mostly having to do with commas before quotes. For example:

    The rainbow maned Pegasus claimed “What? Their just a snack!”

    should be

    The rainbow-maned Pegasus claimed, “What? They're just a snack!”

    While we're on the topic, you need to learn the difference between 'their' and 'they're'. 'Their' is possessive, indicating ownership, and 'they're' is a contraction of 'they are.' And 'claimed' isn't a very good attributive verb in most cases.

    Also, there were a few typos. My favorite was 'Ludacris.' That's the name of the rapper, not an actual word. The word you want is 'ludicrous.'

    Otherwise, a fun little story based on a pretty good idea. I hope this helps! :twilightsmile:

    Just as she creped around the corner, Rainbow saw her and hid the box she was holding behind her back. creeped.  (Creepers gonna creep):pinkiehappy:

    Her hoof rose to her mouth to whip some spit off. wipe

    Ludacris snack seriously?

    “Their just crackers that Pinkie made!” They're

    Their made out of dough! They're

    Still a good story.  I was half-expecting Fluttershy to just simply go, "Oh, whats the big deal?" while producing her own box.

    One of the fastest ways to understand the they're their there issue is to work in this order.  Does they are work here?  No, scratch off they're.  Then, is it possessive?  No, scratch off their and you're left with one last result.  There.  If you want, ask yourself at that point, is it a place?

    Edit: I made an error myself, I believe creeped should be crept rather.  I haven't had my coffee yet.

    Well maybe. I mean fluttershy loves everything animal related if she were to know that they were just crackers made of dough in rough animal shapes I for sure don't think she would freak out that bad. At least if she has seen them before. BUT in this case being she never knew they existed before it would indeed most likely occur like this.

    Cute lil' story, very funny.  However, the idea that Fluttershy would be that naive is a bit of a trope at this point.  Of course, if it were me, I'd make a sequel where she was eating pony crackers.:pinkiecrazy:

    Eh... It was alright. Overly predictable and somewhat rushed (perhaps?), both seem to conspire against this piece. All in all, worth reading, but nothing fantastic.  >>1257787 Now if you added her eating the pony-crackers as an ending, you would've had me falling out of my chair! However the ending now is just too weak. It doesn't feel like a real conclusion...

    Short, cute. Nothing to write home about and never really got funny at any point. It delivers the concept and then it's done. The sheer boredom of the comedy aspect makes it almost feel like it was stretched for the 1000 word minimum. The characters act accordingly, but they don't do anything overly entertaining here.

    Congrats on the success and good luck with future efforts!:twilightsmile:
