//------------------------------// // Poop Time // Story: Poop Time // by WhatDidIJustRead //------------------------------// It's time to poop, Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle looked up from her book. It was time to poop. She sighed as she went through the motions herself. An automated spell reminder for designated 'Poop Time' ended up being an effective way to learn to poop on her own again. But it just wasn't the same. And it was still all done manually. Eventually, most of the fear of aneurysms went away, and she regained some control of her lower muscles. Enough to poop on command, at least. But she still needed the reminder. And she always kept some laxative sprinkles around just in case (thank you, Pinkie Pie). Starlight's apology had been rather insincere, and Twilight punished her with plenty of passive aggression in comments like "Things were so much better with the toilet demon around," and "Manual pooping is incredibly dangerous. I sure hope I don't die from it." By the time the new routine had completely taken over, Twilight had stopped checking news sources for evidence of haunted toilets. Going back to the superior way to poop, while tempting, would only set her up for another painful and tragic fall. She often lied to herself, telling herself that maybe it was better this way. After all, she moved some books into the bathroom, so she could get more reading done. And now, Poop Time followed her own schedule, rather than the whims or appetites of a mysterious demon spirit. Truly, nothing really made up for the loss, but the silver linings helped some. In the end, there was only one thing to do when the past was done. Just keep moving forward. Ever forward.
