//------------------------------// // 1: Rise Like a Phoenix? // Story: Adventure Muffin! // by Jake Witt //------------------------------// Burning. You feel like you're burning, but it feels nice. Maybe you became a lizard? You secretly wished that you were __________. The other gender is just... you don't like it. You just prefer that gender because- "Pinkie Pie! Can you check on the oven?" "Okie-dokie-lokie, Mrs. Cake!" You don't remember birth being like this... Then again, you purge the memory each time. You really hope you're a lizard in an egg. Pinkie Pie carefully peeked into the oven, not letting much heat escape. The delicates inside were ready. "Yo Pound, is Pumpkin home yet?" Pound walked around the kitchen's island, tiny chef hat falling over his eyes again. "Nope! About an hour to go! ...I think." Pinkie slowly took the tray out of the oven, "Well, she's missing out on cupc- Why is there a muffin?" "Ms. Ditzy." She shrugged, "Well, these cupcakes aren't going to decorate themselves! I'll go take Derpy her-" Pinkie looked at the empty pit. "Maybe she already got it?" "I didn't see anypony!" Pound replied, pushing a stool. You look back. Dear Goodness! Pinkie Pie looks massive! Knowing from many lives, any Pinkie Pie can unhinge their jaw to eat a cake ten times her size! You're about the size of her hoof. A genderless muffin who is not sure if there's any positives to this new life. Well, you're aware of your past lives, don't need to worry about any... bodily changes, and have imaginary limbs that allow you to outrun Pinkie Pie. You get ready to get out of dodge when a rainbow takes you off the ground. "Five-second rule!" Rainbow Dash exclaims before a grey blur knocked her into a wall. From your vantage point, anything could've happened to her. "My muffin!" a grey pegasus mare cheers, eye locked on you and another staring at a messy, equally blonde mane. You don't just recognize the voice; the mare is well known in Equestria. The one being that loves muffins more than Sonata loves tacos or Adagio loving herself combined with a heart bigger than a shark. Ditzy "Derpy Hooves, Muffin" Doo. You somehow soil your wrapper. Blueberry. You smell like blueberry, her favorite muffin! She never eats a blueberry instantly! *What will you do? >Wait. >Wait. >Free Sentry!
