Lemonade Twist

"Grammy! I'm here!" Lemon screamed. She heard a gasp and running. Pretty soon, a grayish pink pony was in her face.

"Lemonie,"She screamed,"you'r....so....CUTE!!!!"Lemon laughed and then remembered.

"hey, Grammy, did you see what happened at the su-"

"Summer Sun Celebration? Yes! The prince had fallen on stage and- oh, yes, a very sad tragedy, yes?" Pinkie said smoothly and hugged her granddaughter."Did you here, young lady? They are having tryouts for someone, some..special filly to help the princess on the 3rd in Canterlot!" Lemon smiled and then stood quietly.

"How would a dumb filly like me get in a Canterlot contest? I live in Fillidelphia! I'm no good for that," Lemon responded.

Pinkie held her Grandfilly and said,"you remind me of a friend. A friend who would help everyone even if she was different or didn't understand much. She would always come to sugar cube corner to get the finest muffins and bring them home for her 2 fillies. Her name was Derpy. She had passed a couple years before you were born. I'm sure if she knew you...she would love you!"

Lemon smiled and said,"Thanks, Grammy." She kissed Pinkie on the cheek and waved bye.

"Wait! Take some cupcakes for you and your parents," Pinkie screamed. She handed Lemon a dozen cupcakes with lemons and a crown on top. Lemon smiled and took down an extra saddlebag off the coat rack. She fit the cupcake box in the saddlebag and pinkie put a little bag in the other side.

"Open it when you get home," Pinkie said. She nodded and ran back to her house. When she got there, she set the cupcakes on the table and headed to her room. Ever since Princess Twilight had begun her duties, she had advised everyfilly and everycolt to write a letter to the royals every week. So Lemon sat at her desk.

Dear Skyla,

I feel very bad for what happened to your father. I hope your okay.Anyway, this week I learned that everyone can learn things from their elders. Pinkie Pie said, in a way, that everypony helps, even if they are different and can't do some things.

Love,

Lemonade Twist

she grabbed an envelope and sealed the letter in it. Then, she went to the mailbox and put it in and lifted the flag. She went inside, waiting for her parents to come back. While she waited, she opened the box and took out a cupcake.

She looked at it and said,"Celestia, does Pinkie know something...or does she just try to be the best in everyponies hearts?"

Lemon took a bite of the delicate cupcake that tasted like zap apples. "Wow! These are delicious," Lemon told herself as she stuffed the rest down her mouth. When her parents got home, Lemon ran to the door."Mom! Dad! Can you take me to Canterlot tomorrow? Please," Lemon begged.

Diamond smiled and said,"Okay, Lemon.Cloud?"

He nodded and said,"Um....Eeyup!"

"Okay then, Lemon,"Diamond said carefully,"but, you must do all the work at the store with your grandma next week, ok?" Lemon nodded.

She ran to her bedroom and cheered,"Thank you, Pinkie!" about 100 times. When she woke up, a letter arrived in the mail.

Dear Lemonade Twist,

Greetings, I liked your last letter so I decided to write you back. You are a sweet filly and I think that you deserve a chance to meet me at the Canterlot contest and I will give you something special.

Love,

Princess Skyla

Lemon cheered again,"YAYYYYY!"she went inside and danced in her room. She stopped and looked at the saddlebag from last night. She remembered when Pinkie put something in it. Lemon dug through the saddlebag and found a tiny bag wrapped in foil. She opened it and saw a tiny note with a cupcake.

The note said,"Give this to the Princess and you will win the contest, even though you don't need it!"

Lemon took the saddlebag and ran to the kitchen.

"Mom, im ready! Lets go," Lemon screamed. Diamond went in the kitchen and patted her shoulder.

"Ok, just wait for your father, Lemon," She said. While they waited, Lemon showed her mom the cupcakes. When he got out of the room, they left the house and went on the train.
