//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: The Life of a Cookie // by Forgotten Legends //------------------------------// It all started eight years ago, even before I met Twilight Sparkle. My first time being eaten. One day I was walking down the road and I met a mare named Lyra Heartstrings. She was nice, so I was invited to her home. We talked about ourselves and she found me to be the coolest pony in the world. I found this very fascinating because Lyra is a very social mare. We hung out together for three days, and we did activities that only friends would do. One of my favorite is when we visited a bakery. It reminded me of my original home. Over these three days, we were so close together that you could have mistaken us for sisters. Sharing lives, sharing secrets. I was talking about my original life, and what I can remember it when Lyra asked an odd question, “Sweetie, may I please eat you?” Odd. "Why? I might not survive?" "C'mon." Lyra persuaded. "Don't you want to be adventurous? Face the unknown? Face my belly?" I giggled. “Might as well get this out of the way.” Lyra opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. I climbed in her mouth and she closed her muzzle. It was quite cosy inside. Saliva dripped off the roof of her mouth, dissolving the bottom of my hooves. Outside I could hear the green unicorn say, "Mmmmm... chocolate. Ooooh, there is some peanut butter as well..."I was a bit scared to say the least. I sudden felt a pulling sensation taking me to the back of her throat. I was sliding down her throat. The pink was stretched and constricted around me, as I shivered in disgust. I don't think I want to be eaten again. I heard her burp as she enjoyed my taste. At least I made Lyra happy. SPLASH! I landed in a pool of her digestive liquids. I thought it would hurt, but it was comforting. In fact, it felt like a fizzling hot tub. I relaxed, stretching out my hooves, unknowing that acid was dissolving me. After a few hours I felt a tingling sensation all over my body. I pulled up one of my hooves and saw it was fizzling from the green liquid in her belly. See-through holes formed in it quickly. The smell in there went from sweet to bitter. I guessed the green fluid was acid. I yelled for Lyra to barf me up. All I heard was a snore. I guessed that she had fallen asleep. Why would she fall asleep at a time like this? I knew I was doomed. After a few minutes, I lost conciseness. My eyes filled with the acid, unable to see anything. "Help!" I silently mouthed, as the acid consumed my lips. I awoke a couple minutes later to see my body was a soupy liquid in her belly. Was this the magical power my creator said I had? To survive being eaten? The soup started to exit the stomach, leaving my spirit to float. :Don't leave me!" I decided to follow it through her digestive tract. I saw my body being absorbed by her intestines, the villi tickling it. For what seemed like an hour, I later ended up in her butt, waiting to be released. I heard a growling noise and felt her moving somewhere. I heard her grunting I saw the brown lump moving out of her body. Tiny pieces of me could be seen through the manure. Ewwww... I followed and saw I had landed in a toilet. Zap! My spirit connected to the lump. A horrible smelled filled my nose so bad I wanted to throw up. Was I going to be stuck like this forever? Wait... the manure began to disappear and my chocolate chip body formed once more. When my legs grew back, I took myself over to the table and waited my my body to be whole again.30 minutes past. Good, I was my pony/cookie self again. "Lyra!" I called out, resting on her couch. "Yeah?" The mare walked from her bedroom, wiping sleep out of her golden eyes. "I don't think I want to be eaten again." Lyra nodded sleepily and went back into her room to take another nap. "Also," I continued. "Please flush the toilet. You always forget to."
