Lyra eats an Oreo

Oreo!

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.

Quick and sweet, and to the point.

Nice, short narrative.
