//------------------------------// // Little town // Story: Beauty and the Beast-MLP EG // by GRYFFINDOR123456 //------------------------------// The sleepy town of Canterlot was still stirring. Twilight Sparkle woke up, grabbing a book from her purple bedside table. Twilight tied her hair in a high ponytail, topping it with a purple scrunchie shaped like a star. Twilight opened the door to her house, and stepped out into the cool fresh air. Little town, it's a quiet village Every day, like the one before Little town, full of little people Waking up to say... “Hello!” she called out. “TOO LOUD!” called out someone. Twilight blushed. “Sorry!” Twilight made her way to the bakery. “Hello, Granny Smith! How are you?” “Very well, m’dear Twilight. Fritters?” Twilight nodded. “On the house, dear. Ya’ve helped us so much.” “Oh, thank you!” cried Twilight, heading off. Windows were opening everywhere, townsfolk greeting each other. Twilight smiled, heading towards the library. Miss Cheerilee, the local librarian, smiled. “Ah, Twilight Sparkle. A joy, as always. So, how can I help?” “I’ve finished Romeo and Juliet! I loved it! Can I read something else?” “Actually,” said Miss Cheerilee, there has been some new books.” Handing Twilight the book, she said, “Take it. It’s the predictions of Sunset Shimmer. She was a student at Canterlot High, over at the school. Last time I heard, she committed suicide in her own household. Her body is no where to be found.” “Thanks!” called Twilight. People were walking around. Twilight sat on the fountain. Some sheep sat next to her. One of the sheep tore a page out of her book. Twilight giggled, as she kept reading. Twilight walked on. Little did she know someone was spying on her. On horseback was 2 males, a handsome man of the name of Feather Bangs, the other, his assistant and right hand man, Grubber. They were spying on Canterlot. Adagio, Aria and Sonata(who were previously kicked out of CHS not long ago) swooned over Feather Bangs. The girls screamed when Feather Bangs’s horse kicked mud on their clothes. Feather Bangs tried to get the purple teen’s attention. “Twilight! You wanna have dinner with me?” “NO!” cried Twilight. “I’m sorry. My brother needs me.” “Ah, Twily.” said Shining Armor. “I’m nearly finished my invention. Now, what can I get you?” “A rose, like the one in the painting of mom and dad. Shining? What happened to our parents?” The elder of the 2 sighed. “Our mother and father went out on a trip and never came back. All I know that our mother and father died in each other’s arms. Our mother and father would be very proud of us. Look at me, I’m inventing. And you. You’re well on your way to become an inventor, just like dad.” “Do we have to be Jewish?” “Yes,” said Shining gently. “We do. Mom was Jewish. Dad wasn’t. But I celebrate with Cadance. You’re welcome to join us, but you don’t have to. If you’re happy with science, if you want to be an Athiest, I’m sure Mother and Father would be happy too.” Twilight sighed. “Then I’m quitting Judaism.” Dear Lord, I’m sorry, I’m quitting my faith. There is too much scientific evidence. Lord, please forgive me, Don’t punish me. I just want to be myself. Amen. The next day, Shining Armor set out. Twilight did the house chores. She bumped into Feather Bangs on the way back from washing the clothes. Twilight sighed. “Spike, why is Feather Bangs so annoying?” Twilight walked out onto the yard. “Can you imagine. Me, the wife of that boorish... brainless...” Twilight sighed. Twilight carried Spike in her backpack and went towards the forest. Taking in the fresh, lushious green grass, Twilight sighed. Finally, she was free. Free of that idiot, Feather Bangs. Free of the provincial town she knew. A quiet place. Just what she wanted.
