Masquerade

  On Saturday night I decided on a yellow and blue Western saddle. It was girly, but not too girly. I spritzed on lavender perfume and put on my lip gloss. It was called Pink Frosting. It was yummy and tasted just like strawberry butter-cream.  And I wanted to taste nice, in case me and Strike......well, you know.

I made sure my tail was tied up in a tight little knot and fastened with a blue dressage cloth that matched my saddle.

It'll be horrible if Strike saw my tail and died.

I took the short walk to the bakery and Strike and all his buddies were inside.

  "Silver Spoon!!!!!!!! We're SO glad you came!" Strike smiled at me then pointed at an all-brunette colt. "That dude over there's Caramel Coffee."

Caramel nodded at me and Strike pointed at a blue pegasus colt with a brown mane. "He's Chip Mint."

  Chip grinned at me and introduced me to a green colt with a dark blue mane and a brown colt with a beige mane that was the teensiest bit overweight. "Those two are Green daze and Lickety Split."

"Hi guys. I'm Silver Spoon." I smiled at all of them.

"Should we order now? I'm hungry!" Caramel whined.

"I was thinking about getting a banana split to share with Lickety." said Chip Mint.

"I'm getting the caramel latte." Caramel mumbled. "Decaf."

Well no wonder he was called CARAMEL COFFEE.

"Maybe I'll get the matcha green tea chocolate cake." Daze said.

"I'm going to get to get one of their new giant triple chocolate cupcakes. Want to share with me?" Strike asked me.

"It's nice that you thought of me, but no thanks. I'm going to get their whole chocolate cake." I said, smiling.

Everyone jumped back.

"Are you serious?!?!?!?!?!" Lickety cried.

"What's wrong with that? I've been on a diet for a little while, and I want to eat something I enjoy." I shrugged.

  "Okaaaaaaaaay...... I'll take our orders." Strike said and rushed off. I heard him order for us, and the mare at the cashier desk said, "Colt, you are one big eater."

Of course she didn't know that it was for all of us.

When Strike came back with our sweets, we carried each of ours outside and ate. Hey, it was October, and it'll start feeling like fall soon, so we had to enjoy the warmth while it was still there.

The guys were all done in half an hour, and I was halfway done with my cake.

"Go, Silver Spoon!" Green Daze cheered. All the other colts joined in.

  I was full at that moment, but my new friends's cheers brought a feeling of optimism in the air. I ate another spoonful and finished the whole cake in an hour. By then the guys were screaming and cheering.

  "That was cool." Strike whispered to me. "I really go my bits's worth, buying you that cake. The diet thing isn't gonna work. I like fillies that are bigger, fatter."

REALLY?!?!?!

So all that weight I lost was for nothing?!?!

  I did it for Strike to like me, and for Diamond Tiara to quit making fun of my weight. Me and Diamond tiara became friends, but what about Strike?? I NEVER would have known he was a fat admirer if it wasn't from what I had done.

From this moment forth, I, Silver Spoon, will put all my sweat and tears into becoming the fattest pony in Ponyville!

WAIT!!!! Forget Ponyville!!! I, Silver spoon, will put all my sweat and tears into becoming the fattest pony in EQUESTRIA!!!!

  Plus, using the colt tips from my Cosmo pre-teen magazine, Strike would fall for me, and forget ALL the other fillies that were crushing on him!!!!

  When I got home to my mansion I went straight to bed. But I remember getting up at one forty-five in the morning and sneaking down to the kitchen and back up to my room. I had brought back up a whole pack of Twinkies and Ho-Hos, which I devoured in my bedroom before I fell asleep again.

Tomorrow I would let my friends know that I was considering getting fat again for Strike.
