Tiny Twilight Tales

by Foals Errand


So... Cheesy...

Twilight licked her lips as she leaned back to glance at the service entryway for the third time in five minutes. Her tiny tummy rumbled and she frowned, rubbing it in hopes it won’t growl at her loudly. “Yeah I know i’m hungwy too, but Dawn Light said that the chef said that our lunch was almost ready!” Twilight harrumphed  laying her chin on the table and glanced  at the clock which hung on the wall nearby.

She groaned and thumped her head on the table. “It’s been forever!”

The door opened, causing Twilight’s ear to twitch. She sat up straight, just a proper mare should, and smiled as the unicorn stallion carried a plate and small glass of milk.

“Here we are. Sorry it took so long. The chef is experimenting with recipes from other parts of Equestria and has decided you shall be the taste tester for this recipe from Mexicolt. I believe he called it a... Kaycidiya?”

Twilight cocked her head. “That's a funny name.”

The servant shrugged, setting the plate and small glass of milk in front of Twilight. “I agree, but that’s what Dinner Bell called it.”

Twilight took a look at her plate and an eyebrow inched up. There was a tortilla folded into a crescent shape. Next to the tortilla was a sweet pepper salad and a small amount of salsa. “It looks really good and I’m awful hungry! Thank you, Bon Appetite!”

Bon Appetite smiled before bowing his head and leaving the small dining room.

Twilight lifted her fork and poked the tortilla— with her tongue poking out the side of her mouth. Satisfied that it wasn’t going to explode, she took a large bite of her salad before lifting the quesadilla and dipping it in the salsa and taking a big bite. “Mmm” ing at the taste before setting it down to chew, she frowned as the cheese stretched out from her mouth back to the plate. She grabbed hold of the cheese but it just continued to stretch. Twilight growled and grabbed hold with all four hooves.

“Huh?” Twilight cried out as all four of her hooves got covered in the very stringy and sticky cheese. “No you are not gonna feat me! I am Twilight Sparkle Faithful student to the princess!” Twilight growled and grabbed hold of one of the strands of cheese with her teeth and yanking on it. Unfortunately, she yanked a bit to hard and lost her balance; landing so the her left rear hoof got stuck to her tail.

“Oh no! No,no,no!” Twilight lit up her horn before stabbing into the cheese, rolling across the floor as she quickly realized that her horn was now stuck. She tried shaking it loose until she hit the wall with a thump.

“Th-this isn’t fair… I’m Twilight Sparkle I… I” She sniffled and began to try to push away from the wall.


Princess Celestia sighed as she looked behind one of the suits or armor in the hallway. “Twilight? Twilight Sparkle? Play time is over. You are late for our lessons.” She sighed as once again there was no answer. If she hadn’t had to search for Twilight so many times in the last several weeks, she’d have been petrified several minutes ago. As it was though, she was able to keep her anxiety under control—barely. She paused in front of the door which led to the private dining room where she and Twilight ate. Her ear flicked as she heard a soft noise coming from inside. “Is that... Twilight?”

Celestia walked into the room to see her very small student stuck to the wall, sniffling as she weakly tried to pull away from it. Her fur was covered in a sheen of yellow goo and her horn stuck to the wall with a large glob of, ’Is that cheese?’

After several minutes of gentle pulling from Celestia and tears from Twilight, Celestia summoned a servant to bring a pair of scissors.


Dinner Bell took a small sip of the soup he was preparing when he heard the sound of a throat being cleared behind him. He turned to see Princess Celestia standing there with a patient smile, the remains of the lunch he prepared for Twilight in her telekinesis. “Princess, is everything alright?”

“Oh, just a small mishap. May I make a request though?” Celestia asked before setting the quesadilla in the trash.

Dinner Bell nodded “Oh, yes of course, Princess, anything!”

Celestia smiled. “Might I ask that you don’t serve this dish to my faithful student again.”

He blinked before responding, “I, er—y-yes of course. Did she dislike the taste?” Dinner Bell asked worried about what else he would have to cut from the menu.

“Actually, they were just a bit too cheesy for her.” With that Celestia turned to leave allowing Dinner Bell a glimpse of where Twilight was rocking back and forth on her mentor’s back, half her mane cut off and several tufts of fur and bits of her tail missing.

“...So… cheesy…”
