Somewhere in the USA. Probably older than you. And something about MLP:FIM makes me want to write stories. Unfortunately, being gainfully employed cuts into my writing time.
Princess Luna returned to Equestria, and with her return, the isolated night tribes, the batponies, have journeyed to rejoin their princess. Luna's first task is to settle a dispute: what will be their sacred fruit?
Set during Season 1.

It's really hard to keep a story to 1000 words.
I had two story ideas that seemed compact enough to be explored in 1000 words, but one ended up being longer. The other is this one. You see, if you think about batponies and fruit, you probably think of mangoes. But the first story (by Raugos) and art I saw showed batponies having a love of durian. So, clearly, some batponies found mangoes, and others continued to think of durian as their special fruit.
Now, to be honest, a durian-mango smoothie sounds like something you'd see on an episode of Chopped. And the judges, not being batponies, would not want to see the chefs use much durian at all.
Before even reading the story, this was my immediate thought:
11253591
To be fair, I've seen way worse ingredients on Chopped, not to mention Iron Chef America: Battle Offal. The hard part, of course, would be dealing with the odor, as by all accounts the flavor is sublime. That said, perception of the odor does apparently depend greatly on the individual, as those from cultures familiar with durian are more likely to be able to distinguish the sweet components from the putrid. Still, I'm usually willing to try any food at least once, so who knows?
I thought the answer would be pineapple due to its effect on cum. The I remembered that neither leech or busternut were writing this.
Truly, Princess Luna is best princess.
Interesting headcanon here. It does neatly answer the question of what was happening to ponies' dreams while Luna was away.
The only way this story could have been better would be if the very last two words in it were, "The End," but that would have given it a kind of comedic finality that doesn't really fit the overall tone, so here at least, I'm ok with being alone in that opinion.
So it wouldn't be the coffee berry?
Nope
This is a funny short story.
other then how quick is was solved.. with smoothies. This is exaxtly what I expcted . Durian vs Mango.
Short, sweet, and smooth. Oh, and the story is excellent too
I am weirdly happy about this line. Because it shows bigotry isn't just a non-batpony thing. The whole 'racism against poor innocent flawless batponies' setup has been done to death.
Smooth, Luna, very smooth! 🥭
That was funny! The fact that you brought up Chopped in the comments made me laugh, because I was thinking that also. And I love the headcanon of bat ponies being the ones to watch over dreams during Luna's absence (and the rest of Equestria probably didn't even realize it if they were treating the bat ponies so poorly). To be honest, though, what drew this to me were the last lines of the description— it sounds like something Zecora would say.
9
out of 10, the 10th was too busy baking cake
Amazing concept, hilarious ending
Interesting headcanon of batponies considering the durian a sacred fruit. Touches my heart as a Malaysian
I don't fancy it actually. I used to love it, but now I don't.
so true
and augh, yeah! puts beautifully that sense of displacement and loss Luna must feel, and how that makes her sister that much more important as a lifeline to her
you know, the former really is how i imagined the modern-day Canterlot Palace kitchen to be like! that change must be even more disorienting
aww, that is nice!
and this is always a nice headcanon to explore! does explain just who was pulling her chariot in "Luna Eclipsed"
aww, do love that
hehehe. durians, or their Equestrian analogue?
dang they really do go all out on the naming scheme, i have to respect that
aww, always love it when the Princesses call ponies "my little pony", i will never not love it.
nopony would know this better than Luna right now!
ahaha, great comedic timing!
the silliness of the phrase "the future shall be smooth" and the seriousness and regality with which Luna said it is just really great Luna! very well done with this
and it must have been a hit, considering it was the hot new thing in Sire's Hollow in "The Parent Map"!
an adorable just-so story about how fruit smoothies came to be in the land of Equestria, paying off the description of just how strange the palace kitchen is. thank you for writing it!
Fantastic on second reading.
That sounds interesting, weird, but interesting.
