Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a magic kingdom. A kingdom made entirely of candy.
"Ooooh..."
More candy than you could even dream of. Lollipops, Candy Canes, Suckers! Everything was sugary sweet. Light posts were made of Candy Canes. The roads were gingerbread. The doors were gram crackers. The ponds were chocolate. Even the locals were sweet. Everypony knew one another and they were all a really close nit family but nopony was sweeter or more well known then the ruler of the Sugar Kingdom, Princess Sweetheart. She ruled the kingdom with a kind and loving heart. She loved to spread joy everywhere she went, making even the snobbiest of snobs happy.
"What did she look like?"
"Oh! Well, she was bright young filly. She had a beautiful coat as pink as bubble gum."
"Mmm, yummy!"
"And a mane as pink and plushy as cotton candy."
*Giggle*
For years, this kingdom lived in peace and harmony. The young Princess loved everyone and everyone loved her... But there was one who did not... The Bitter Witch.
"Grrr!" She growled. "Curse that Princess Sweetheart, she's had it all from the start!" The Bitter Witch was old mare with a dark green coat and an aging gray mane. The Witch hated the Princess. Her parents never let her eat sweets. "Not everyone is so fine and dandy, my parents never let me have candy!" She stood tall on a cliff overlooking the Kingdom. "If I can't have sweets, NOPONY WILL! HAHAHAHA!"
"I don't like the Witch..."
The Witch stirred her magic cauldron. "All I need are a few ingredients." The witch wickedly rubbed her chin. "Ah yes of course!" She pulled out a magic chest and set it down next to the cauldron. "Firstly, a cut of Broccoli." She dropped the broccoli in turning in turning it a sickly green. "Next thing we need, is a blade of seaweed." The undersea veggie turned the potion into a deep-sea blue. "Last but not least, a not-so-nice feast!" She dropped in a stinky bag into the Cauldron. The potion was now a mix of blue and green. "Now that the potion is complete, it's time for the Princess to be obsolete!" She began to wave hoofs above the cauldron. "Magic forces from beyond yon hither, torment them and make everything gross and bitter!" The cauldron exploded with a sickly green ooze forming out of the top. "Yes! YES!" The ooze rose until the sky making the clouds black and stormy.
The dark clouds loomed overhead and started to rain. A rain of gross green ooze. Nopony could have known what the Bitter Witch could have done.
*CHOMP*, a stallion bit out of a street post. His eyes widened with disgust. "BLEH!" He spat. "This candy cane is bitter!"
*CHOMP*, a nearby mare had taken a bite out of her door. "UGH! GROSS!" She yelled. "It's stale!"
Soon, the entire kingdom was in a panic! "All the candy has gone bitter!" "My foals won't stop crying!" "Somepony, alert the Princess!"
They quickly informed the Princess on what had become of the Sugar Kingdom. "It is the Bitter Witch! She is jealous of our sugary sweets and put a curse on the Kingdom!"
Everypony was yelling and complaining. "What will you do!" "Please stop the witch!"
She stepped down off her throne and motioned to her guard. "Captain, grab your best men and follow me! That Bitter Witch won't be leaving our kingdom as bitter as her."
"Ooh, here comes the good part!"
It wasn't long before the Princess had gathered her best guards and confronted the Witch within the forest. "Bitter Witch! Stop this at once!" The Princess commanded.
"NEVER!" The Witch screamed. "No matter what I cannot lose, my cauldron will continue to ooze!"
"Then I will have to stop you!" The Princess reached back and pulled out her magic scepter. Using her magic, she fired at the Witch. The witch attacked with her own magic, countering the Princess. "The Sugar Kingdom is a place of love and happiness. Your bitterness has no place here!"
"Is that so my little filly? I think you are being rather silly!" The two used all their power but they were evenly matched. "You can't stop me, I'm all powerful! You will learn, I am just awful!" The Witch's magic began to overtake the Princess.
"No! I can't lose now!" The princess called. Then, one by one, her ponies stepped forward.
"You won't beat the Princess!" "You can't stop the Sugar Kingdom" "You will never extinguish our happiness!"
Suddenly, the beam lunged forward, pushing the Witch back. "Now is the time!" Holding the scepter in both her hooves, she started to chant. "Gods of sweets and sugar alike, give me power to remove this unlike. The Sugar Kingdom you have aided so long, help us send this wicked witch to where she BELONG!" The Princess lunged the scepter forward, firing a beam of light towards the Witch.
The beam impacted the Witch. She yelled and screamed, trying to break free but to no avail. She was slowly overtaken as her legs turned into hard candy. The Princess struggled as she maintained the spell. The others all watched in awe. Soon, the Witch's whole body had been transformed into a large dark green candy statue. The Sugar Kingdom ponies laughed and cheered at their victory. A parade was held in the kingdom to congratulate the Princess. The curse had been lifted and the Sugar Kingdom returned to its sugary sweet state. The Witch's statue remains in the center of the Kingdom Plaza as a reminder that Princess Sweetheart was always watching over them...
"The End..."
"That was a great story! Thank you, Granny."
"Your welcome sweetie. Now get some sleep. We are going to Ponyville tomorrow."
"Granny?"
"Yes?"
"You think the ponies there will like me?"
"Of course, they will. Why wouldn't they?"
"I'm just scared they won't like me... Won't like me because I'm different..."
"Don't worry dear, I'm sure they will love you just as much as I do. You are who you are. Nothing can change that that."
"Goodnight Granny..."
"Goodnight Pinkie..."
