//------------------------------// // Oreo! // Story: Lyra eats an Oreo // by DreamHeart //------------------------------// Well, I'm dead. Why? 'Cause an Oreo. It all started yesterday, a beautiful, sun shiny, day. Flowers were blooming in the perfect Monday morning of April. I was heading out to the quill and sofa shop to buy a quill.( Which hardly any pony buys the sofas.) When I ran into Ditzy Doo, the cross-eyed Pegasus. Well, actually, she flew into me, by accident. Though, I'll admit, she has been getting better, thanks to Rainbow Dash's flying lessons. "Sorry, Lyra." She said. " I've been practicing." "Oh it's all right. I'm just heading to the quill and sofa shop." "Hey, that's near where Princess Celastia is visiting!" The gray Pegasus pulled out a muffin from the satchel she was wearing. "Cool! Maybe me and Bon-Bon can go there before she leaves." And with that, I waved and trotted off. I spotted the clerk as I headed towards his shop. What's his name again? Tommy? Greg? Jimmy? Yeah, Jimmy. "Jimmy! Hey, Jim!" He didn't hear me, so I galloped right next to him. " Hi there, Jimmy!" I said, high spirited. He raised a eyebrow at me. "My names not Jimmy... It's Carl." "Oh, sorry." I chuckled nervously. Awkward... " It's fine. What do you want? Sofas or quills?" "Just a quill." I answered. "That will be five bits." Said Jim- Carl. Five! It was only three bits last time! "That's outrageous!" "Look, no ponies buying my sofas, so I needed to raise the price a little bit." "But I only brought three!" I spat. "Look, if you just get some spare bits, I'll toss in an Oreo. For free." How could I refuse? Well, if I did, I wouldn't be in a dungeon.
