> Dig Your Own Grave > by CAPTAIN YOSHI HD > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Dig Your Own Grave > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twinkleshine and Lemon Heart were spending time on the beach on a nice warm sunny day. The two friends were there for an hour. The two of them were laying down on their towels. "Hey, Lemon Heart, don't we just love it here on the beach?", Twinkleshine asked. "Because, I think it's a beautiful day out to come here right now." "Absolutely, Twinkleshine.", Lemon Heart said. "It's too bad that Twilight, Spike, Moon Dancer, Colgate, and all of our other friends are too busy to come here, it's just you and me on this day. Twilight and Moon Dancer always study on sea animals like rainbow crabs and starfishes, Colgate would just go surfing with Vinyl, Spike always builds sandcastles with me all the time, and you and Lyra always dig holes in the sand that are two feet deep. Twilight should invite her other friends to come with us." "Did you put sunscreen on before we got here.", Twinkleshine asked. "Because we didn't bring it, I left it at the hotel after we came here." "You know, I am kind of bored right now.", Twinkleshine said. "What do you think we should do? I don't have any ideas of what we should do right now. You want to go surfing in the ocean?" "We didn't bring our surf boards with us this time.", Lemon Heart said. "Besides, we did that the last time and we did it with Colgate. And aren't there some ponies that like to go to the bathroom in the ocean, because there are no toilets around the beach." "You want to eat some lunch?", Twinkleshine asked. "Did you even bring anything to eat for us?" "We just ate thirty minutes ago.", Lemon Heart said. "That was before we got here." "You... uh... want to walk around the beach for two hours?", Twinkleshine asked. "Walking is good exercise for ponies like us." "We did that last time when we were here.", Lemon Heart said. "Eventually, we do that a lot." "I don't think I have any ideas of what we should do.", Lemon Heart said. "All I think is playing in the sand. Were you thinking of doing that to?" "Yes, and I thought of something that will be pretty fun.", Twinkleshine said. "How about you did your own grave in the sand and I bury you in it." "What?", Lemon Heart asked. "What you're saying is: I dig my grave that's the size of me in the sand a couple inches deep and you bury me, is that it?" "Yes, so are you on to that or what?", Twinkleshine asked. "If not, we can always do that another time when we come here." "Sure, just let grab my shovel and we'll get started.", Lemon Heart said getting off her beach towel. She grabbed her sand shovel with her magic, found a spot in the sand, and got to work with her grave. It took a lot of sand to make sure it's the size of a full grown mare, it took a really long time until she was finally finished with her grave. She went one foot deep in the grave. "Phew, that took longer than expected." "I think this looks good, the hole is about your size and it might be warm in there.", Twinkleshine said. "You ready for this?" Lemon Heart gave the shovel to Twinkleshine. "I'm ready when you are, Twinkle, and just to let you know, this is my first time doing this, so I'm kind of nervous for this. And if I'm not up in the next three minutes or so, call somepony for an emergency. But, sand is soft and I am strong, it won't bug with me.", she said as she stepped in the hole. She sat on her flanks and laid down on her back. She got herself situated, took deep breaths, and closed her eyes. She doesn't want to get sand in her eyes, otherwise it will hurt so much. Twinkleshine scooped up some sand and poured on Lemon Heart's back hooves. Then, she scooped sand and covered up Lemon Heart's flanks and waist. Then, she scooped more sand and covered up her front hooves. Then, she got even more sand and poured it on her yellow friend's belly. Then, she dumped some sand around Lemon Heart's head. The last part she needed to cover up was Lemon Heart's face. Twinkleshine scooped up her last patch of sand and poured it on Lemon Heart's whole face. She waited a few seconds to see if Lemon Heart can still try to move, sand is really soft and other ponies are stronger than it. Even when you are buried alive and it will be hard to get out, you can't breath. Lemon Heart lifted her back up and sucked up some air for her breath. She shook the sand off to clean herself off. She brushed the sand out of her mane and looked at Twinkleshine. "It's like entering another world.", she said. "Did you have fun, Lemon Heart?", Twinkleshine asked. "I hope you did, it was supposed to feel good." "I sure did, that was fun.", Lemon Heart said. "Thank you, Twinkleshine, this is what I wanted to try out. You think we should do this again when we come here next time?" It will be Twinkleshine next time or it will be somepony else if they invite one of their friends to come along.
