Tuesday
Warm Front had just returned from a hard day's work in the skies of Ponyville. Most of his day had been spent re-directing an unscheduled rainstorm that had blown in from the Everfree Forest, an effort that required the attention of most of the Weather Patrol.
The yellow pegasus pony with the cutie mark of sun obscured by a gray cloud closed the plain wooden door behind him with his back leg, shutting it tight with a loud creak. He cracked his neck once and walked over to the kitchen to make himself a sandwich, something he always did right after work.
In the kitchen, he prepared the essential ingredients: peanut butter, jelly, bread and cheese. The bread, jelly and peanut better were readily found in their respective containers, but as he opened the cupboard that contained the various dairy products, he found an empty spot full of cobwebs where the cheese should have been.
“Huh. Must be out,” he said to himself, closing the cupboard behind him. He stood there for a moment, deciding that if this sandwich was worth a trip to the grocery store. His stomach rumbled and that was all the prompt he needed. He picked up his drab brown saddlebag, put it on and headed out into Ponyville once again in his quest for the missing sandwich component.
It was a nice day, all this considered. Since the storm had been diverted away from Ponyville, only a few conveniently-placed clouds dotted the skyline above Ponyville and the sun shone brightly. The locals were busy trotting about, tending to their own business as they shopped and browsed the local shops.
Warm Front's journey to the grocery store did not last long, as it was located only a short distance from his house. As he approached the store, he smiled a bit as he saw a sign out front that announced a small sale on all dairy products. When he entered the store, the owner greeted him.
“Hello, Warm Front!” Fair Price said, waving his hoof in genuine eagerness.
“Hi Fair,” Warm Front replied.He picked up a shopping basket and making his way down the aisle where the dairy products were kept. However, since he was hungry, he didn't stop on buying just cheese. He also bought several apples, a box of cereal, a carton of orange juice and some bananas.
He also noticed that another local pegasus, Fluttershy, was busy inspecting a row of carrots with her companion Angel. She would point one out, only for Angel to rapidly shake his head in refusal and the cycle would repeat.
After he had gathered all the things he craved, Warm Front set down his items in front of the friendly cashier.
“That'll be twelve bits!” Fair Prince declared, holding out his hoof.
“Alright,” Warm Front said, taking out the appropriate amount of coins from his saddlebag and placing them on the counter. Fair Price immediately scooped them up and waved at Warm Front, who was already out the door.
“Have a nice one!” he exclaimed and kept waving even after the door had shut.
Warm Front trotted back to his house at a medium pace, not wanting to spill his contents in haste. As he rounded the corner of the street where his house was located, his walk was interrupted by a sharp pain toward in the middle of his head. He had run into Applejack, who now was sitting on her hind legs, rubbing her head.
“Consarnit!” she grumbled and looked up to see Warm Front, who had fallen down and was trying to get back up. She got back on all four hooves, holding out one to help the pegasus pony. “Sorry there Warm Front. Guess I wasn't watchin' where I was going.”
As he got up with the assistance of the earthy pony, he waved one hoof in dismissal. “Eh, no harm done.”
“So, how have you been Warm Front?” Applejack asked.
“Can't complain. Had to help herd a big rainstorm away from Ponyville, but that turned out fine.”
“That's mighty helpful of you. That much rain wouldn't have been good for the apple orchard this time of year.”
The two ponies made a bit more idle chatter before heading off to their destinations.
“Seeya later Warm Front! And sorry again about bumpin' into you!” Applejack called behind her. Warm Front said nothing in return, and only waved a hoof in acknowledgement.
Warm Front again opened the humble door to his house and promptly closed it behind him, walking over to the kitchen table and setting down the saddlebag with his mouth. He set the cheese aside for immediate use. The rest of his purchases were quickly stowed away in their respective cupboards.
Now, the moment he had been waiting for. First, he laid down two slices of bread on the counter. Then, he took a small butterknife and carefully dipped it in the jelly jar, smoothly spreading its contents over the two slices. He washed the knife off in the sink and repeated the process with the peanut butter. When the two layers of flavor were complete, he then delicately sliced two portions from the block of cheese he had bought and laid them squarely in the middle of the bread. Next, he took one of the slices of bread and laid it on top of the another, completing his sandwich.
Warm Front chuckled a bit. “Should have gotten a sandwich cutie mark.”
With nothing else holding him back, he scooped up the sandwich with the flat end of one of his front hooves and took a large bite out of it, savoring the sublime flavor of his creation. Three more bites finished off his meal, and he washed his hooves in the sink to rid himself of the crumbs. Satisfied, he placed the block of cheese in the empty space of the dairy cupboard, then went into the living room to read a book.

My god..... This is...... BEAUTIFUL! YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE, SIR!
so THAT'S where babies come from! :D
Mmm... fuck yeah, peanut butter and jelly... congrats, you've made me hungry.
You can has all my stars and thumbs.
It's... beautiful...
A masterpiece unseen since the ancient times...
How the Hell can you dislike sandwich making, or any of this?
This is superb... I can't comprehend it's beuty...
The front page of this story lies, I will be eagerly awaiting chapter 2
Hmmm.... A story about a sandwich. SO TOUCHING! And made me hungry.
.......I no longer have diabetes.
Mother of Celestia...
Never has a masterpiece the likes of this been shown to our unfit mortal eyes. Never have the likes of man been privy to such illustrious creations. This holy scripture hath shown me the meaning of life and existence itself, and revealed unto me the grace of the one true god...
All hail the Sandwich, that shalt be our master hereafter.
Oh, man! This made me laugh SO HARD! And the comments are even funnier! This is, simply and wondrously, a work of pure art. Well done.
Peanut butter, jelly, and cheese?
Hm, I might try that...
864783 It be a very good sandwich, I will have you know!
Come on, with the reception this is getting you have to write chapter 2.
Well, what do you know. You did a real good job with something so ordinary... Thanks to you, I need a sandwich.
Wow. I somehow loved this. Good job.
864754
true that
I will not be surprised to see such a beautifully written masterpiece such as this get featured.
It's like peanut butter and jelly. So very simple and ordinary, but because you rarely expect it when you expect extraordinary, it becomes extraordinary in and of itself.
Bravo good sir.

I love slice-of-life stories more than anything. Have a thumb, a star, AND a moustache.
Its so ordinary...that its not ordinary....
This... this is the most brilliant character analysis i have ever had the fortune to witness. truly, such a work of art as this is certain to move the hearts, neigh, the souls of millions.
this represents the pinnacle of fiction; modern literature has no comparison in all the world. what you have done here is something monumental. this is your Magnum Opus.
this wasn't just a fanfic, it was an experience.

if you were a blank flank before, you'd better bet your plot you've got a cutie mark now.
I now have an intense craving for a peanut butter, jelly, and cheese sandwich.
Not sure how it'll taste but gosh darn it I'm going to find out.
This was pretty much the most accurate story description I have ever read.
i.imgur.com/ejgAe.gif
Just curious, but...
What brand of cereal did Warm Front buy? I got an ad for Rice Krispies at the bottom of the page.
Also, I'd like to think that Apple Jacks exists in Equestria.
The normality... oh the normality... I have no wit with which to grace this holy scripture like those before me. Have an upvote though.
his hoofs in the sink
orly?
hooves bro, hooves
Not sure if like or dislike, so I upvoted it. Seriously, I see no plot of any kind whatsoever.
I am OFFENDED sir.
Peanut butter, jelly, and cheese? Way to break my suspension of disbelief... Nobody would think to put those things together and find it palatable.
Disgusting.
No, in all seriousness... I actually liked this! I felt like a story was trying to start but didn't. In a way that makes it just as amusing...
Analysis.
Description: A pony goes to the grocery store, then makes a sandwich. That's all that happens.
Story itself. Character was introduced and time of day explained, including recent events that happened before events described in chapter.
The most normal things explained and detailed with minimum words, yet this draws a complete picture in mind of reader.
Must read again and understand magic of words.
Amazing way to make detailed day of pony exciting to read instead of boring. Character himself does not call this day exciting or unusual.
Thinking... Thinking... Brain.exe stopped responding. Reboot?
I... I am compelled to try peanut butter, jelly, and cheese now. Its stuck in my brain. Screw it, this is happening, now. Sandwich reports in ten.
Suprisingly not terrible. I can love and tolerate this. JIF creamy, smucker strawberry, and kraft singles on wheat confirmed for palatable.
This... Quite frankly, it's amazing.
I expected a trollfic, and actually didn't get one.
Not only that, I got a pretty good story about a dude who makes a sandwich.
You've earned yourself a favourite.
How the hell do I even categorize this story?
Double-reverse trollfic or something?
A masterpiece... done in One Thousand and One words.
This is the new EQUESTRIAN BIBLE.
This story was beautiful... too beautiful for my mortal eyes! AAAAAAHHHH! IT BURNS!!!!!!!
This story... beautiful. It shows you don't need fancy characters, a fancy setting, a fancy conflict, or anything to make a great story.
864683 I think I no longer have mine, either! *eats sandwich* ... Nope, I still do. *has seizure*
867734 O.o
Glorious.
Huh, so I'm not the only pony looking to use the "short but glorious" pun.
It was well written, however. You've earned yourself a Rainbow.
I'm really confused. I fully expected you to do something silly, but you didn't. You did exactly what you said you would in the description. And it was enjoyable.
864794
Does it matter what kinds you have? I only have apple jelly and medium cheddar.
Though it does have a couple problems with grammar, I found this story to be a welcome pallet cleanser after reading so many 100k + stories. Short and clean.
WHY DID YOU PUT THIS STORY INTO THE SEATTLE ANGEL REVIEWS? YOU FOOLS! YOU'VE COMPLETED THE PROPHECY!
OH GOD IT'S STARTING. TWISTAGEDDON! SAVE YOURS
3897405
Twist isn't even in this story you baka!
TA DAAAAAAAAAAA.
Anyway, there's a missing period:
Finest pacing I have seen in a story!
