//------------------------------// // Not Quite Ambrosia, by FoME // Story: Group Precipitation // by FanOfMostEverything //------------------------------// Technically speaking, Sunset didn't need to eat anymore. She also didn't need to breathe, blink, eliminate waste, or perform several other once vital functions. However, she still did most of them as part of her effort to stay rooted to everyday existence and concerns. She'd only foregone two: sleep, because there just weren't enough hours in the day even when she had all twenty-four of them; and her reproductive cycle, because like Tartarus she was putting up with that when she didn't have to. But eating? Eating was a joy, especially for friends of Pinkie Pie. And now she'd been able to recapture a long-lost part of that joy. Acquiring the materials had been simple enough, if pricey. To Sunset's knowledge, the finished product had never been assembled on Earth before. She took the pioneering creation in her hands and brought it to her mouth. Bite. Chew. Appreciative hum. Sunset swallowed the bite of her daffodil sandwich. "It's so nice to have my old taste buds back," she said to herself.
