//------------------------------// // Pony Park - Chapter 12 // Story: Robot Pony // by Dreadnought //------------------------------// Tim dug into a large piece of cake, trying to satiate his hunger. Smiling, he looked up to his sister. Lex had a look of horror on her face as the jello on her spoon shook violently. Turning around, he saw the silhouette of a unicorn. The two rushed into the kitchen, shutting the door and taking shelter behind a counter. The doorknob turned and the door swung open. "It's inside," whispered a terrified Lex. "I found it!" called the unicorn. Lex peeked over the counter towards the two unicorn fillies, who were busying themselves in the kitchen. Both were white and had pinkish-purplish manes and blank flanks. One was messing with a toaster while another was pouring soup into a saucepan. "Follow me," commanded Lex. The siblings silently crawled on the floor toward the exit. Suddenly bits of flaming soup began erupting from the pan, and Tim took cover behind a counter. He unknowingly knocked a ladle onto the floor. Clunk! "What was that?" asked the first Sweetie. Lex motioned for Tim to follow her, but he was frozen with terror. The Sweeties began searching the kitchen. Tap!Tap!Tap! The Sweeties looked and saw a girl. "Taste tester!" cried the big one. She rushed toward the terrified girl, only to slam into the reflection of a stainless steel cabinet. With confusion reigning, Tim made a break for the open freezer. Brandishing a glass filled with grey slime, the other Sweetie cried, "Try my toast!" She raced after the boy. The two entered the freezer and slipped on the floor. Sweetie slid into a rack and boxes of defrosting food fell on her. After a moment, Tim scrambled to his feet and slammed the door shut and locked the Sweetie inside. The siblings raced for the exit as the big Sweetie shook off her stupor. TV STATIC
