//------------------------------// // Buying A Burger // Story: Fluttershy Eats a Burger // by The_Light_Is_Dying //------------------------------// Fluttershy stared gleefully at the small shop in front of her. Painted red with brick roofs, the old wooden shack used to be a small grocery store for convienences like chips and ice cream. But now, an elderly stallion named Greasy Jeff bought the for-sale building and made it into a delicious burger shop! Greasy Pony Burger Shop was the highest-selling burger store this side of the Macintosh Hills. Fluttershy licked her lips, thinking of the juicy, greasy burgers tucked onto a wheat seed bun. But Fluttershy also enjoyed the crisp, salty fries, the tasty and bubbly homemade soda, and the delicously cold custard desserts! She couldn't keep herself away from the Greasy Pony for a week without purchasing a burger. Fluttershy's hooves clicked and clacked on the sidewalk in front of the Greasy Pony. She pushed the old saloon-style doors open with one hoof while the other stepped forward. The retro-style resturaunt was buzzing with costumers. Old Greasy Jeff worked the counter while Chef Rose Pizza cooked and served the burgers. Greasy Jeff took notice of the yellow Pegasus in the doorway, her pink mane hanging delicately over one eye as she glanced at a burger that Rose Pizza dished out for a teal unicorn sitting in the back of the room. "Aye! 'Ello there, Fluttershy! What brings ya to the Greasy Pony? Another of your regulars?" Greasy Jeff asked the pretty mare. Fluttershy stared back at him, and switched her attention to the menu. There, on sale, was the first burger she had ever eaten. The Delicious Organic Burger! Made organically and not out of cute little critters! Fluttershy smiled at Greasy Jeff with a good idea for the perfect meal in her mind. "Actually, Greasy, I'd like the Delicious Organic Burger with Cinnamon Fries and a Strawberry Milkshake. Er, make the shake in medium size, if you don't mind." Fluttershy asked politely. Greasy Jeff was taken aback, as he thought about Fluttershy's first visit and the very first thing she'd ever ordered. Something that did not contain animals, obviously. Greasy Jeff nodded and yelled to Rose Pizza her order. Fluttershy silently said thanks, and waited politely for her order. When she received the meal, she carefully balanced it on her back, and gently walked home. All the way, she thought of her friends saying how amazing the Greasy Pony Burger Shop was. She thought of how hesitant and nervous she was, scared they wouldn't have organic non-animal meats. She thought of her joy packed in the first bite, and how delicious it was. It was hard for Fluttershy to realize all that was just one month ago. As soon as Fluttershy arrived home, she set the meal on the table and took a bite. In that one bite were the amazing memories of her first meal at Greasy Pony!
