Lemonade Twist

"~NOW ARRIVING AT: CANTERLOT STADIUM PLEASE STAY SEATED~"

Lemon was so exited that she almost screamed in the train. She waited as ponies boarded and unboarded the train and the Lemon saw the stadium and walked the path there. When they made it, a bouncer was blocking the door.

"Name," He asked.

"I-I-I'm Lemon Twist," she said. He laughed.

"your not on the list, kid," he said. Then, the princess waved to Lemon and she smiled. Skyla walked over to the bouncer and opened the gate.

"Sorry, KingFord, but she is a, 'special guest' and I didn't put her on the list," Skyla said.

"Special...guest? When did this happen," Diamond said.

"Your daughter sent me a letter, keeping me from crying last night because of the......incident at the Summer Sun Celebration. Someone cared about me and I was happy, so I made her my special guest, but if she is competing, she still has competition," Skyla said. Lemon nodded and ran to the field. When she reached the stage, a colt a bit taller than Lemon had been in line.

"Are you nervous," he asked.

She looked at him and said,"sorta....are you?"

He laughed and said,"Third Star? grandson of the great and powerful Trixie? Nervous? Nope, but i'm not gonna brag." Lemon nodded and looked around.

"Hey, have you seen a filly named Starlight Beats? I mean, a filly that looks like this? He handed me a picture of a filly with a grey-red coat and a dark grey-red mane. She had a record cutie mark and turquoise eyes.

"No I haven't seen her. Is she your sister," Lemon said. He shook his head.

"no, but I sorta.....like her," he said softly. Lemon looked around again and smiled.

She said,"There she is!" she pointed to the girl and looked at Star. He ran out of line and to her. They called the next person in line and Lemon went on stage.

"um, im Lemonade Twist, 11 years old, or 4017 days old. I am-"

"young lady, are you a......earth pony," one judge asked.

"um, yes but I-"

"what will you be demonstrating," another asked.

"Please let me speak!" all the judges gasped,"I'm sorry....I will show you...this!" Lemon pulled out the cupcake. It had rainbow frosting, chocolate and vanilla mix and crown sprinkles with rainbow glitter. She also pulled out a note. It read,"This cupcake is from my Grammy, Pinkie Pie, the happiest pony in all Equestria," The judges smiled and wrote in their notebooks. Lemon continued,"she helped me as a young Filly and now she helps me with my letters for Princess Skyla. This is for you princess," she handed the princess the cupcake and she smiled,"now, my parents say that she might not stay around forever because she has diabetes and is now feeling well." Lemon thanked the judges for listening and walked off stage.

Lemon heard them talking and one said,"that is an amazing story but, didn't Pinkie Pie pass last night?"

Another judge said,"yeah, I heard that on the news last night." Lemon covered her mouth. She ran back to her mom and started to cry.

She screamed "mommy! Why!"

She looked at her daughter,"did they not like you, sweetie? Its okay.."

Lemon hugged her moms leg even tighter and said,"Grammy passed away last night! Why didn't you tell me!"

Diamond hugged her daughter and said in a comforting voice,"I know its hard...she was my mother, honey..its very hard to get over but its ok.." they went to the train station and Lemon was still crying.
