Twilight Sparkle smiled a wide smile as her mind raced, images of what she had planned for the rest of her afternoon dancing through her head as she strode through Ponyville. It was rare that she set aside a block of time like this, a block of time that was meant purely for her own pleasure. Like most things in life, she usually liked to share this kind of experience with her closest friends. On rare occasions, though, she felt it appropriate and acceptable to treat herself, and herself alone. Today was certainly one of those occasions.

Hasty purple feet hurried through the castle entrance, eager to confine themselves and the body that owned them to a room where nopony would find them. Privacy was of the utmost importance for this; if Spike were to walk in on Twilight like this, it would be a disaster. Twilight didn't even know how she could start to explain it to the baby dragon, but figured it was best not to think about it. Spike could pick the  lock to the bathroom door if he really wanted, but he wouldn't do that. Even if he would, she could easily keep the door closed with magic, but she doubted such a thing would be necessary.

Twilight telekinetically closed and locked the door, then sat down on the toilet. This was a strange place to be doing this, but it was easily the most private place she could think of. Sitting on the toilet with her sweatpants still on was also a bit strange, but that wasn't exactly her top concern. Her fingers danced eagerly along her box, wanting so badly to dig in. Finally, her middle finger penetrated the surface, pushing its way into her box. It was go time.

Twilight slowly opened the box's lid, taking a deep whiff of the delicious smell that came from it. The scent of freshly-baked muffins was so amazing, she'd briefly wondered why nopony had made the scent as a perfume before. Her fingers wrapped around the first blueberry muffin, and she let out a soft moan as she drew it towards her mouth. It was only the first of six, and yet she was already feeling weak in the knees from it. And that was just from a sniff; one could only imagine what would happen after a bite.

Imagination wasn't needed as the tip of the first muffin passed between Twilight's lips. She pushed an entire half of it inside, greedily taking as much as she could without choking. Her teeth came down upon it like pearly white guillotines, tearing it in twain. The half outside her mouth remained in her hand, temporarily safe from the happy carnage that Twilight had in store for its doomed brethren.

Twilight let out a groan of delight as her teeth crushed the muffin half over and over. Each bite brought her more delight, her world filled with joy as the tastes of the spongy cake and the sweet blueberries melded in her mouth. The blueberries were small, but each one of them burst with flavor as her molars flattened them and squeezed their precious juices out. Twilight chewed and chewed, unable to get enough of the delicious morsel in her mouth. She never wanted this moment to end.

Once she had finished chewing that half of the muffin, Twilight decided that it was time for the rest. A proper pony would have swallowed what was already in her mouth first, but she was alone, and thus had nopony to be proper in front of. She popped the other half of muffin into her mouth, nudging the last of it in with a fingertip before closing her lips behind it. Her teeth went to work once more, happy to reunite this half of the muffin with its already-pulverized twin. Teeth tore through grain like some sort of mouthwatering massacre, mashing the morsel into mincemeat. Little sounds of pleasure escaped Twilight's throat as she continued to munch, her cheeks puffed out unabashedly. Perhaps she would have been more dainty if somepony else was around, but she could let herself go in her solitude. Rarity would have had a fit, had she bore witness to it.

Twilight's teeth continued to work the muffin vigorously. She was certain that she felt another blueberry somewhere in there, but was having a hard time finding it. She could have just swallowed right then and there, but that was an amateur move. She needed to find that blueberry and mutilate it, savoring every last bit of flavor it had to offer. It took a few moments longer, but her efforts were eventually rewarded as her molars descended upon the fruit. The extra explosion of flavor was enough to make Twilight let out a long, sustained moan of delight. Everything in Twilight's world at this very moment was wonderfully, perfectly right.

Twilight mmmed as she gathered the remains of the muffin towards the back of her throat, then closed her eyes and leaned her head back slightly as she swallowed. She almost missed it as it traveled down her throat, but took solace in the aftertaste. She savored that aftertaste for a good few moments, giggling lightly to herself. Then she felt a piece of blueberry still stuck between her teeth. She tongued at it a bit, biting a few more times to try and loosen it. It held on valiantly and pointlessly, as its fate was already sealed, but eventually could hold no longer. Down it went to join the rest.

Twilight let out a very happy sigh. That had to be the most delicious muffin she'd ever eaten; not a surprise, as it came straight from Sugarcube Corner. As she picked the next one up, she considered saving one for Spike, but the scent changed her mind. She'd go out and get something different for him later. These were all for her.
