The Ponyville Six visit Canterlot to watch Rainbow Dash participate in a long-distance race. However, a visit to Twilight's favourite donut shop results in the bookish Unicorn finding herself in a pitched donut-eating battle with a certain pink Party Pony, with disastrous results.
This short story was created as part of a writing audition for the Equestria Online MMO.
I hope you enjoy it as much as the game's staff apparently did! :D

Okay, this was just pure fun. Good show!
I CAN COUNT TO BOOOOOOKS!
Quote of the day!
By Celestia, this is one mind blowingly awesome comedy fanfics i have read!
I would tip my hat to the author but i lost it.

Homer Simpson Approved.
fantastic
I can see why the ponies at Equestria Online enjoyed this so much; it was hysterical! I could see this being an actual episode.
FUCKING AWESOME. The Mane Six was great especially Rarity, Twilight and Rainbow.
I was really pissed off at Rarity for dismissing Pony Joe's fine establishment, doesn't she know his baked good are so good they can cure cancer and that he's the official doughnut provider to the sun goddess, if your familiar with the fanfic: Dear Idiot which is a really good read as well. I loved the ending of this in which Twilight goes all Psycho-Light from Lesson Zero and has to spend the day on jail. Then there was Joe's reaction to this and you get a feeling that he's seen this happen several times. The last 1000 or so words had me in stitches and congratulations for making the best line EVAR!!!
-"I can count to books!!!"
Peace Out.
P.S. Kudos on the Patton reference.
Ah, that's cute. Nice little vignette of silliness. And, in agreement with everyone else, I say that you created one of the best lines ever. Of all time. That's my new personal motto.
And now you've made me want a few doughnuts.

I am flattered, but I must point out that it was a shout-out, not a creation. The phrase has been around for some time.
Also, thanks, all, for some wonderful praise!
Sugar-rush Twilight is best pony!
Hilarious! :D
48433 Yes, but you have created a very different way of saying it that sticks in our minds. The herd also says they're pleased and they won't kill you, yet. Two members are still laughing to hard to vote on killing you, so pray to Celestia they are laughing because they like it.
And now, I sign off!
Godspeed you magnificent bastard-BlazingShadowBrony
Holy dang I want this in an episode!
I think "I can count to books" is the greatest catchphrase in a Pony Fanfic ever. Now you must make an entire series about Twilight's third year in CSGU.
Yeah, pretty much the best use ever of "I can count to (not a number)". Equestria Online can only be better with your writing (I'm a huge Pony Psychology fan too). Hmm, what emoticon should I use here... ah!
A rainbow yawn, huh?
that's the first Time I've heard it called that.
That was good fun. I hope this gets made into an episode. I'd love to watch it.
Isho kyute.
this needs to be in the show. like, pronto
i would pay to watch this. (id actually pay to watch any episode, but thanks to youtube i dont have to!) but yes. all your characters were spot-on, specially fluttershy. you win several moustache spikes.
and also three sweetie bells.
I've read this several times today, and each time I laugh harder and harder Twilights meltdown.
I can count to books! very much in the zone of looooove it!
twin pegasi approve
Good job this was very, very funny.
twi certainly brightened my day, as did the entire fic.
thank you.
Final boss status stuff right here
That was awesome!
grats on 1k views very good story bro
Lol XDDDDD
This would be perfeeeect for an episode.
Say Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

That was wonderful! Not just well written but also hilarious
Wow! I loved every inch of this story! Well done!!
Ciao!
This is brilliant! Everypony is perfectly in character - I love how dramatic Rarity is about the entire contest - and it's just quite hilarious. I agree that Pony Joe has probably seen this happen plenty of times before.
Lol oh this is awesome make more please.
Ah, I loved it. It seemed like the transcript of an actual episode. You still fail to dissapoint me saddlesoap.
This fic brightened my day. That is all.
We need more of this in the ponyfic community! Silly, funny, and just playful! The whole story was wonderful, all the characters were (I hate this term, but...) "in-character" or acted believably. Especially Pinkie and Rainbow!
And my favorite part of this whole thing? Jesus christ, when those guards showed up and the whole solution they came up with was just the funniest possible way to conclude the whole thing. the freakin guards... And the mental image of twilight collapsing asleep in the blanket is just adorable!
The letter to celestia at the end also somehow worked an awesome moral into the story! It took me a minute to get the comparison that donuts/sugar = alcohol in the ponyverse, apparently.
5/5, this was great. I want this animated into an episode. I want sooo much for this to be an animated short. I know there are people in the community talented enough to learn to do it. We must make it possible. Great work!
THIS IS TERRIBLE!
Now that I have your attention, I love this fic!
EXCELSIOR!
I can so see this as being an actual episode, you did an amazing job.
can't. stop. laughing.
It was magnificent
and it should really be an episode
Why was Rarity being racist the entire time?! Ugh! Unicorns
...
Really good though!

I think she'd prefer the term Patriotic.
Glad you liked it!
funny story, cant help but feel sorry for Twilight though
I remember one time I ate two dozen Krispy Kremes. And then I noticed the ceiling was swimming.
Second time reading this, still so awesome!
Again, thank you.
The story is made of win.
I wish i could count to books! dan twi is one smart smarty smart pants!
Oh god . . . I almost ruptured my spleen I was laughing so hard.

Also, poor Twilight is gonna get Type 2 diabetes now.
Pinkie won't, because she's a mutant.
