//------------------------------// // Izzy and the Quest for Beans at 3 a.m. with a Spoon // Story: MLP G5 but it's written by me // by TPC-2k16 //------------------------------// Sunny Starscout’s Home Maritime Bay Equestria 3:05 A.M. Sunny Starscout is asleep. Soundly asleep in her bed, until the violent knocks on her front door awakes her frantically. “Oh, if this is another pegasus coming to ask about Rainbow Dash then they can wait ‘til morning-” Sunny mumbles to herself as she tiredly walks on over to the front door, it still being knocked on violently, stopping herself from mumbling once she opens it and sees on the other side Izzy Moonbow. “Izzy. What do you want?-” “BEANS!!!” Sunny, taken aback from the reaction she’d gotten, stares at her newfound unicorn friend in shock (and surprise). “Huh?” “BEANS!!! I! NEED! BEANS!!!” Sunny again looks on in shock and surprise. “SPOON!” Izzy shows Sunny a silver metal spoon in her hoof. Seeing her friend not reacting at all, Izzy stomps away angrily from Sunny, stomping on down towards the town of Maritime Bay. “Uh... I should see what the matter is, right?” *** Maritime Bay Police Station Maritime Bay Equestria 3:15 A.M. “Uggggh. How did I get stuck with the night shift?” Sprout angrily complains as, because of him making the whole town build a giant machine to help fight back against unicorn and pegasi, he himself is being punished with having to work the night shift at the Police Station for the next ten moons. “Like, this town hardly generates any crime at all in the daytime. Why would we think there’ll be any at night?!” Sprout questions the logic of a nighttime shift in a town with a very low crime ratio. “Whatevs. I’m going to sleep.” Sprout props both his hind hooves up on the desk, laying back in his chair and closing his eyes for a few minutes. Only to be awaken frantically as the two front double doors of the Station get violently knocked on. “Uggggh. Now what?!” Sprout angrily trots on over to the two doors, opening them both to see that on the other side is Izzy Moonbow. “What do you want?-” “BEANS!!!” “Beans? You woke me up from my nap just for beans?” Sprout angrily points out, not noticing yet that the pony of whom he is speaking to is Izzy. “Go on. Go away! I don’t have any-“ “SPOON!” Izzy shows Sprout the same spoon she had shown Sunny earlier. “Yes. That is a nice spoon,” Sprout said sarcastically, “Now leave me be, okay.” Seeing as how upfront Sprout is being with her, Izzy angrily walks away from the Police Station. Sprout taking no time at all to slam both doors shut. “The nerves of someponies.” Sprout says annoyingly to himself before hearing another knock at the door, this knock though sounding way much lighter. “Uggggh.” Sprout goes to open the door once again to see this time, Sunny is on the other side. “What? Here to tell me of how much wrong I did for the gajillionth time. Look, I know I-” “Have you seen Izzy here at all? I think she may need something.” “You talking about your new unicorn friend? Izzy, is her name?” “Yes! She came to my house and knocked violently on my door, just to ask for ‘beans’.” “Beans?” Sprout thinks to himself. “Did she have a spoon with her?” “Yes!” “Nope. Haven’t seen her. Though my mom did use to tell me and Hitch when we were younger that every once in a while, unicorns like to go out and look for beans at this time of night. With a spoon no less. Though, I'm sure that's nothing but an old pony 'tail'." “Oh. Well, I gotta see what’s up with her. Thanks anyways.” Sunny rolls her eyes at that last part, walking away from the Police Station. Sprout so too again slamming the doors shut as soon as she leaves. “Any other pony wanna knock on my door at this hour?!” Sprout angrily shouts out. Not long after he said that, Sprout hears another light knock on the door. Going over to reopen it yet again, Sprout see that on the other side is a light gray earth pony mare along with a dark gray earth pony colt. “Um hi. You wouldn’t have to have any experience in exorcism now, would ya, perhaps?” Sprout slams his head on the doorframe in frustration. *** Zephyr Heights Castle, Zipp Storm’s Bedroom Zephyr Heights Equestria 3:33 A.M. Zipp Storm is peacefully sleeping in her bed, tucked in neatly under the covers and snoring as loudly as possible (but not too loudly as to wake everypony in the whole castle up. Loudly as in at least getting the nighttime gardener’s attention right outside her window.). “I hate my life.” [said the gardener] While Zipp is peacefully sleeping, though constantly tossing and turning while mumbling to herself in her sleep, does she not know of the dark silhouette shaped unicorn creeping up on the side of her bed. “Mama, no I-” “I NEED BEANS!!!!” “Aaaaaaah!” Zipp is completely awaken by the sound of a unicorn destined in her search for beans. Being scared as to have being thrown off to the other side of her bed in fright, along with the bed's covers. Zipp groggily gets up on all four hooves, trying to get a good look at whatever is here in her bedroom at this hour. “Izzy... why, why are you here?” “BEANS!! I! NEED! BEANS!!!” “Beans? Ya just want beans?” “Yes!!” “Then just go to the store to get them. There’s probably a twenty-four hour store somewhere.” Izzy stares at the still tired, half asleep pegasus menacingly. Thinking in her head of what she’d just heard. “Okay! Here’s my spoon.” Izzy immediately pops back into her normal, cheery self. Also not totally forgetting to show Zipp her spoon. “Welp. I’m off!” Like that, Izzy happily trots away out of the bedroom and Castle. Continuing her quest onto the nearest twenty-four hour grocery store. “Well, that was weird.” Right after she’d said that, Sunny Starscout comes barging in through the door. “Zipp! Have you seen-” “Izzy? Yes I have actually. Weird coincidence, I know. Speaking of coincidence, how could you have possibly known that she’d be here?” “Uhhh, lucky guess?” Zipp and Sunny both just stare at each other in silence for a moment. “So, what is it you think got her all riled up? You think it’s...,” Zipp points a hoof towards her private area, then making quotation marks with both of her front hooves. “What?” “Ya know. Happens almost every month...-” “Are you implying that Izzy is in heat?!” “Oh. So you unicorns and earth ponies do that too, huh,” Zipp sees Sunny nod her head, “Well I didn’t know. I've had always thought it was more of a pegasus thing. Though I’m sure good ol’ Hitch knows about it now... I’m getting off track. I was just wondering and-” “We need to find Izzy and end this conversation. Just, where did you tell her to go?” “Well, I told her that she might actually find some beans at the nearest twenty-four hour grocery store. That’s probably where she’s headin’.” “Perfect! Aight, let’s go get-” “Uh, hey Sunny, Zipp. Nice seeing you two here, at this hour.” Both Sunny and Zipp, surprised for one, look to find (surprisingly) Hitch Trailblazer standing in the open doorway of Zipp's bedroom. Hitch’s face happening to blush a light red. “Uh, I live here.” Zipp says sarcastically. “Hitch, What are you doing here? Unless...” Sunny’s face starts to blush. “Hm, must be Pipp’s time of the month.” Sunny facehoofs in frustration. *** My Little Unicorn, Twenty-Four Hour (except only on Wednesdays) Convenience Store Bridlewood Equestria 3:46 A.M. Izzy happily trots on over to the entrance to ‘My Little Unicorn, Twenty-Four Hour (except only on Wednesdays) Convenience Store, acting exactly like her usual, normal self, and totally not like from before. “Beans!! I need beans!!!” Izzy exclaims happily all throughout the convenience store’s interior after having just opened and walked through the two clear, front double doors. “Hello good sir. I hear this is an open twenty-four hour establishment. Got any beans?” “Open only except on Wednesdays. And yes, we have lotssa beans. What kind?” The store clerk pony says to the unicorn of whom had just entered his store, asking the question, the clerk pony sounding with an Indian accent. “Depends. How many kinds do you have?” Izzy asks inquisitiving yet playfully at the same time. “Lots. But they’re all in the back. I can let you go back there and-” “Oh no thanks. I’m just asking. I don’t actually want any beans.” Izzy said, revealing her true truest intentions. “Are you kidding me?!” An angry, ticked off Sunny Starscout yells out into the convenience store. Her and Zipp looking both really ticked off. “Uh hey guys. Got any beans?” Izzy smiles gleefully as the scene reverse circle transitions out over Izzy’s smile. (Epilogue) “Hey Hitch. I got a question. And that is, what is the exact reason you were at the Castle while I was there the same time I was looking for beans? With a spoon, mind you. Details.” “Oh,” Hitch’s face starts to blush, *gulp* “Okay, I’ll tell you why... but only if you tell me why mayonnaise is a forbidden word for you unicorns to say. As a trade off, ya know?” “Oh, I know.” Izzy said as she flutters her eyelashes at Hitch. “And the reason why is...” (To Be Continued... In The Next Chapter)
