~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sunlight shined into Twilight's closed eyes, causing her to slowly open them. She let out a long yawn before promptly hopping out of the bed.

"Check."

Twilight levitated a quill nearby and used it to place a check mark on the first box on her check list. She trotted down the stairs and into the lower part of the library. Spike was sound asleep on his bed. Twilight nudged him softly with her snout, causing him to slowly open his eyes. Just like Twilight, he let out a yawn and blinked a couple of times while Twilight checked off another box.

She trotted into the kitchen and grabbed a plate, and then she proceeded to slap some fruits and vegetables on it, checking box number three as she did.

After breakfast, Twilight trotted back into the main library and levitated books off of the shelves, stacking them up next to her. She took the book on the top off and placed it in front of her, opening it to the first page.

In just a few hours, she had read the entire stack of books, all the way down to "How to Have Better Sex". She checked off box number four and five, then scribbled something at the top of the checklist. Her quill didn't have much ink on it, though, so it came out lighter than the rest of the scroll's writing. She checked off box number six.

Without further ado, she took the book and brought it behind the library, casting a fire spell to burn it into ashes. Then she trotted into town and bought a lock and a key for ten bits. On her way she bought some more parchment to make more check lists on and a new folder. When she got back to her library, she looked through her cabinets and smiled, checking off another few boxes on her check list, along with a half check.

Twilight dusted off all of the shelves with great speed and precision, checking off another box when she was finished.

She looked at check box number sixteen and giggled, leaving it alone and instead checking off box number seventeen.

After that, she went into town and met up with her friends, where she avoided going on any adventures or shattering Rainbow Dash's heart, and solved some arbitrary problem that Rarity was having. She then told her friends that her cat needed water, even though she didn't have a cat, and galloped back home.

Twilight checked off the next few boxes on her check list and crossing out some due to them not happening, and put a half-check on box number twenty-eight.

She read a couple more books before writing a letter to Princess Celestia. When the letter was finished, she checked off two boxes and looked at the final tasks for the day.

"Find my lost pillow?" she said.

She looked around the library, but to her dismay it was nowhere to be found. She trotted out of the library in search.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twilight trotted into the library carrying her pillow in her mouth. She tossed the pillow onto her bed, checking off box number thirty-two, and then looking over the entire list.

She looked at the pillow and then checked off box number sixteen.

"Worth it."

[CureAll]

"Worth it."
All checklists in the show and in everyday life should include these elements

[Zyrin]

"16: Destroy Everything" Check.
"Worth it"

o.O Twilight scares me sometimes. . .

[Nairu]

I'm wondering if when she found the pillow, it has something to do with another story I read, where twilight destroys ponyville, by creating the biggest pillow fight war in equestria, in which ponyville is basically destroyed, in the process. Is it in any relation to this???

[SkyWalker]

"29 If there was no adventure and you just went home just went home" you repeat "just went home"

"The sunlight shined into" I think it's shone

Nonetheless, very good story. It got my head into somewhat a mess, but it was definitely fun to read. Also, am I to understand Twilight did destroy everything at the end? One can only wonder where that pillow was stashed

[Captain Literal]

beware!! us book worms are crazy at times. muhahahahahahaha (p.s good story. i liked it. im watching you >=) )

[Bluenova]

Let me guess Twilight started a pillow fight that destroyed pretty much all of Equestria.

[MrMatthew]

wot.

[Nightingalehound]

why does it look like she 'wants' the scroll.

[Arcainum]

That was fun! Nice little one-shot gag. The sheer degree to which the cross-referencing developed had me laughing out loud, and I I loved how a single joke in 4 became a multi-point cross-referencing epic.

Negatives! Though the end line was great, I think the short passage of not-checklist hurt the thing as a whole. Abandoning your conceit is pretty much the worst thing you can do in comedy, especially in a one-shot.

But, overall, I'd call this a positive. I laughed. Cleverer than I thought it was going to be, too. I kept going back and checking the list, and I found myself thinking "Man, this is really taking me out of the story, checking this li-OOOH, YOU DOG, YOU"

EDIT: Also, calling featured.

EDITEDIT: WAIT A MINUTE. I seriously reviewed a Troll fic again.

Why do I keep doing that?

[MclarenMP4-27]

Hmm

[RedvsBlue327]

I knew it. All the friendship is ripping away at her sanity, slowly but surely.

Also, like others, I've noticed a connection to another story where Twilight creates the most deadly Pillow fight in the universe.

Problem is, at the end of that story, turns out Celestia had it. Twilight got it back here...

What'd Twilight do to Princess Bitchy Mcprincess bitch pants Celestia!

[Angelson1992]

I was amused and that's what matters to me.

Greatly entertaining. Kudos.

"Princess Celestia is a bitch"
Never saw that coming

[Frostbyite]

did you just finish "the only's" story for him?

Cause the ending to this fits in way to perfectly

Is this stuff a reference to that other story...?

[Threxx1]

Read it again and you'll find out.

[Pokey the Unicorn]

I enjoyed this story. There is a clear itinerary at the beginning, so I know exactly what should happen, and every item on the checklist was completed by the end. Excellent work.

[Ralfil]

The checklist alone was positively golden. Great for a laugh.

[Meowy]

What story is this about pillow fight destroying Equestria?

In relation to topic, this story is

[MalekPony]

I noticed that one of Twilight's books is titled "The Grapes of Math", and I think that's a VeggieTales reference (from the video "God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!"); I know this because I am a longtime fan of VeggieTales.
