> Lyra eats an Oreo > by DreamHeart > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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. > Spare Bits > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I started to gallop toward Bon-Bon's cottage. Then I trip over something. A wire. On the ground, my eyes followed the wire to a giant speaker. That can mean only one mare. "You ok, Lyra?" Said the DJ of every party. "Yeah, I'm fine, Vinyl" The funky manned pony helped me up. "So... what's the hurry?" "Just grabbing some bits. For a quill." "Hey, know what? Got a few spare bits last party at Pinkies. Since your in a rush, go ahead an take 'em." Vinyl Scratch levitated two bits towards me. Yes! "Thanks Vinyl! Gotta go!" "See 'ya later!" Waving goodbye, I trotted back to the market. How nice of Vinyl to give these bits to me. I thought. She does need to find a nearer plug, though. I headed towards Jimmy- I mean Carl's stand, he waved. "Oh, hello, beautiful customer." He said as I approached. Faker smile. "You still want an Oreo?" "Of course!" I gave him five bits and he gave me a blue inked quill. My favorite! Finally, he went behind the counter and pulled out a small neatly wrapped box. He opened the box and pulled out a small cookie and handed it to me. The amazing cream put in between two dark, crumbly, cookies. My mouth started to drool. Cookie creaminess! I levitated it and trotted my merry way. > What The Hay? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I walked toward the nearest bench to sit and devou- I mean, eat my Oreo, when I saw a crowd near Sugar Cube Corner. Hmm... maybe its the princess. And with that, I trotted towards the sweetshop. "Oh! You came!" Said a fimilar cross-eyed pegaus. "Come sit by me!" She waved a hoof, motioning me over by her. I sat down, normally with my legs hanging off the side, and saw a triple colored mane flowing above the crowd. Right next to it was a tip of a white horn. Derpy wasn't joking when she said the princess was here. I almost forgot about my yummy Oreo, so I pulled it out of my saddlebag and took a nible. BIGGEST MISTAKE. EVER. The minute I bit into it the princess ears shot up. Did she sense something wrong? Was the village under attack? Was Canterlot being taken over? No. It was much worse. MUCH worse. Princess Celastia stood, as the crowd cleared a path, she was heading this way. Towards me. I panicked and dropped the Oreo that I was levitating. She came face-to-face with me, muzzle-to-muzzle. She looked down at my Oreo, then back at me. Her narrowed eyes burned into my soul. I gulpped. If I wasn't terrified, I would of screamed when she said, "Guards, ... Take her to the dugeon.". > Wha... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The last thing I remember was three guards coming out of nowhere. One was a unicorn. He put a spell on me so that I couldn't use any magic. The other two were Pegasi. They picked me up and flew away towards Canterlot. I saw Derpy's shocked and confused expression as I drifted away from Ponyville. I woke up to find myself chained to a stone wall. Sometimes a guard or two would come by and give me a stink eye or shake his or her head in disapproval. In a hour or so, the princess came. I felt hungry, cold, and just plain terrible. "So, you know why your in here, right?" She said in a tone I had never heard her use. I shook my head "no". "Well I got some bad news, you see, I'm not the "good cop" when it comes to the crime you've done." I gulped. Again. Then blurted out, " I didn't mean to stretch Bon-Bon's tail that far! I'll never pull it off again!" Not what she was looking for. " Don't play dumb with me Ms. Heartstring." "I don't know what your talking about. Honest!" " Like how you ate the Oreo? How you just... just bit into it?" She said "bit" like it was painful. "What? What?!?! That's what this is about!? You brought me here and locked me up for that?!" I yelled at a princess. A royal princess. I'm sort of proud at my self, really. She continued anyway. " Your sentence, ..." A dramatic pause. Wow. "... Death." I fainted. I prayed to Luna this was just a dream. I might of been crying, but who wouldn't? And why did it matter that I ate an Oreo? > Not-So-Sweet Celastia > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sorry, got a little, um... carried away." Celastia said, a little sheepish. Then turned strict again. "What I mean is you'll be banned from Sugar Cube Corner." So turns out I'm not going to die. Good. Getting banned isn't as bad as being killed, but why? For eating a cookie? "You will wait in my sister's room, so I can report this to Sugar Cube Corner." And with that, she was gone, and I was getting shoved towards a door with a moon on it. Supposedly, Princess Luna's room. I enter, hearing the double doors slam behind me. And a gamer, specifically an alicorn, sitting in front of a... flat screen TV? Levitating a controller. Hearing the door slam through her headphones, she turned towards me. Luna. With a flash of almost blinding light, everything disappeared, leaving just me and her. She sat up and trotted towards me. "What brings you here?" "A cookie. An Oreo." "My sister brought you here because you just bit into it?" "Yeah, how did you know?" And she explained how "Tia" bans anyone who doesn't lick out the cream then eat the cookies separate. And she thought I was going to sue the palace or punch a hole through the wall. But I just smiled. And chuckled. And started to laugh. And pretty much losing it, Back in Ponyville, I pulled out a blank piece of paper and my new shiny quill and began, Dear Princess Luna, I learned that you should never buy a Oreo from a sells pony. Your Faithful pony, Lyra Heart String > A Little Bit of Luna > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Lulu! Lulu! Wake up!" Sun Butt was starting to get annoyed that Luna was sleeping in so late. She has a planet rising job too. "Plus, it's my job to sleep in." Celastia continued to awaken her younger sister. It resulted in loud snore. "Maybe you should be called Moon Butt." "Heard that, Sun Butt." The Princess paused then said, " Your late. Come on, you need to rise the moon." "Good morning to you, too." Luna replied with sarcasm. "It' supposed to be night time!" With a yawn and a stretch, Lulu finally got up. She put on her royal moon armor and headed out the door. After a long majestic moon rise. She headed back inside were a guard gave her a fairly small scroll."A message from... from... uh... Lick Harm Sing." Luna raised an eyebrow. "What? Do you mean Lyra Heart String?" "Yes, of course, Princess." She opened it and read out loud, "Dear Princess Luna, that's me, I learned that you should never buy a Oreo from a sells pony. Your Faithful Stu - I mean Pony, Lyra Heart String." Luna just smiled and shook her head. Then a grumpy mare's voice echoed through out the castle, "Luna! Where's my morning cake!? There's nothing in the fridge expect a plate of crumbs!"
