//------------------------------// // 67 // Story: Choice // by AnOrdinaryWriter //------------------------------// You walk toward Pinkie Pie as your clone walks in the opposite direction toward Vinyl Scratch. “Yay!” she exclaims, rearing up happily before placing her front hooves back on the ground. “It’s been so long since we’ve spent some time together! Ooo, this is going to be so much fun!” Pinkie starts walking back down the road, and you follow, briefly glancing back at Vinyl, who is walking with your clone to the concert. Your attention is stolen by Pinkie once she starts talking again. “I’ve been trying some new recipes recently, and let's just skip all of this, shall we?" You suddenly end up in a kitchen with cakes lining the counters of the room. Pinkie approaches the counter at the center of the kitchen and snatches a cupcake from the small bunch beside one of the tinier cakes. Its base is a light brown while the frosting on top is white and sprinkled with flakes of coconut: your favorite. “Here ya go!” Pinkie says in an adorable high-pitched squeak, handing the cupcake over to you. “It’s my first time trying out a coconut recipe, and since I know how much you love coconut, I can’t think of anyone else to give me an opinion of it. I made this one just before you got here to make sure these would be good for the party later. Come on, try it! Try it!!” Your eyes fall on the cupcake in your hoof. It looks delicious, you can’t lie. Though, you have your doubts about all of this, especially Pinkie’s intent on urging you to eat it. Looking back up at the pink mare, you see her wearing a wide, elated grin as her eyes stare, sparkling, unblinking, and impatient. You look at the cupcake again, its creamy, milky deliciousness sitting on your hoof open to be consumed. You bring it up to your mouth… Taste the Frosting________________________________________________________________________________Eat the Cupcake
