//------------------------------// // BONUS CHAPTER 2: Alternate perspective of the Nutella Flood // Story: Equestria's Sudden Nutella Troubles // by TheMajorTechie //------------------------------// First, there was nothing, nothing but the peaceful rolling hills of Equestria, ponies minding their own business as they tended to their daily lives... And then there was NUTELLA! It came in jars, then buckets, and within minutes, a torrential flood of the creamy substance had smothered the land. The once-calm ponies were now in complete and utter panic, not because they were drowning in Nutella, but because of the sheer amount of calories that were flowing straight into their bodies. "GLUB!" Shouted one as he attempted to spit as much of the spread out as possible. "BLUH!" Replied his wife, who was frantically inflating several pool floaties. "YUM!" Hollered their son, who was currently absorbing Nutella through every pore of his being. Celestia calmly leaned on the railing of her balcony, watching in interest as the world beneath her was slowly consumed by Nutella. She shrugged, and strolled back inside, not a care in the world for anything but the cake she had been awaiting for moments earlier. A technicolor blur raced through the streets of Canterlot. Said blur was in reality, Rainbow Dash, who had immediately fled Ponyville for Canterlot when she overheard the talk about infinite Nutella flooding the world. She now had but a single task at hoof: Alert as many citizens as possible, for being the Element of Loyalty had no point if there was nothing to be loyal to. Plus, she hated the idea of her wings being mucked up by the sticky Nutella. "PPPPPPPPPPPRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, bucking the throne room doors open. The guards, of whom had gotten used to being pancaked on the wall, immediately dove for cover the moment they noticed the doors budge. "HAVE YOU HEARD THAT THERE'S NUTELLA FLOODING EQUESTRIA?!" Celestia gently sipped her tea. "HEY PRINCE BLUEBLOOD!" Rainbow continued, turning to the technically-not-prince, "Y'KNOW THAT WE'RE DOOMED, RIGHT?" Blueblood shrugged, and replied, "Sucks for the commoners." Celestia spat all over Blueblood's face, mostly because she was waiting for the perfect moment to do so. "Seriously," Rainbow Dash said as she scooted up besides the princess, "we need to do something about this. I'm too awesome to die in Nutella!" "Meh," Celestia replied as she wiped her muzzle, "Twilight's got it. You'll see." Rainbow Dash glanced warily out the window. The Nutella continued surging it's way through the intricate web of streets, coating everything in it's way, from ponies, to buildings, to even the small jars of Nutella in storefront windows. Heh, that's like Nutella-coated Nutella! ...PINKIE, STOP INVADING ALL MY STORIES. Nah, I'ma stay! Please don't disturb me... *sigh* Fine. Strangely, there was no screaming of any sort. It could've been partially because of how many were potentially covered in layers upon layers of Nutella, but it was most likely because they were all too busy eating said Nutella. In fact, Canterlot was practically a Nutella theme park now, due to it's vast chocolate-coated structures. ...Not that Celestia really cared anyways, she was currently trolling Twilight. Even Discord had been spotted, in a small pool floatie as he sipped Nutella from the ocean beneath him. Just as everypony had gotten used to their new world of Nutella, a deafeningly-loud sucking sound began to echo throughout the planet, emanating from a very chocolate-encrusted castle in a little town called Ponyville. The tides receded, dropping floating ponies on their faces as the waves of spread began flowing in the opposite direction. It was as if there was a massive drain that had suddenly appeared, allowing the Nutella to simply... flow away. Discord groaned in annoyance after finding himself face-first on the notably chocolate-free pavement. as did several tens upon thousands of other ponies who had found themselves suddenly rid of their relaxed lifestyle of infinite chocolate. ...and Kirby let out a massive belch.
