Lemonade Twist

"The end." She said softly. When she looked to her side, the colt was deep in the sleeping bag and was probably in a coma. So Lemon yawned and crawled into her bed, happy, with her new room mate.

When she woke up, he was still sleeping with a big grin on his face. Lemon sat in front of him, constantly saying his name, "Joe....JOE! Ugh......JOOEEEE!!!!!!" he snapped and hit his head on the side of the tent.

"AH! Wha- Oh, hi Lemo!" She smiled and remembered when she tried to tell him her name.

"Its Lemon, Doofus! Come on! We are going to be late for school!" she said. He climbed out of the tent and sat on her bed. Lemon trotted over to her closet and tried to get her saddlebag off the hook.

"let me help you," he said and trotted over to the closet. She watched as he stood on his hind legs and pulled it off with his teeth.

"You are very tall! Thanks, by the way...you are lucky. you can be tall and...well...uh..." Lemon stuttered,"your'e you, and im just a nopony." Lemon put on her saddlebag and looked for her fedora. He frowned.

"ey, you can do anything you put your mind to!" He said, kindly

He smiled and looked at a picture on her shelf. It was a class picture. A line of colorful, enchanting ponies, smiling so there mothers do not yell at them. The only one who wasn't smiling was a filly sitting in front of the bundle. Her mane was black and her coat was grey. She was almost acting as the center of attention in this photo. Joe stared at the photo as if she was calling him.

"Hey. Hey. HEY! DUDE!" she waved her hoof in front of his face and he still didn't stop staring.

"Who is this?" He finally said. Lemon giggled.

"Plume? Why, she moved from Canterlot a while back! I don't know where she is now." Lemon responded. He awoke from his dreams and they got going.

Boarding the blimp, the 2 ponies played until they got to the competition. Lemon let Joe stay with her because he would be trampled if he went to school alone.

When Lemon boarded stage, she said,"Hi! Its me, Lemon. I was gone yesterday. Uh, well, sorry about that! I would like to introduce my friend, Joe!" everyone clapped and watched as Lemon forced Joe to walk on stage.

"He-Hello! Im Joe, uh, nothing really to say," Lemon hit his hoof and nodded,"Oh! Oh ok, uh last night my friend brought me to her house in the time of need." The judges were writing down his every words,"At first I thought she was going to betray me like my parents but, she actually helped me."

The buzzer went off so they walked off stage and Lemon started to speak.

"Woah, dude! That was amazing! You really feel that way about me? Man, to me, your my hero and im your hero! I guess we can help each other in different situations! Tonight, my famil- i mean, our family will be going to my friend Lace's house for dinner. Wanna come? You can stay home if you want.." He nodded and agreed.

"I will come with you! I'd love to meet your friends!" So it was agreed. They were to go to the Lace home together as a family.

They got there and this time, 3 other Fillies were there. Lemon knew these ones though. The 2 sisters, Sugar Heart and Love Dancer. Then, one of her actual friends, SpringKiss.

"Don't be fooled by there looks, on the inside, they are the definition of Rich Slobs." Lemon whispered into his ear. He nodded and gave them a fierce look. When they saw Lemon and Joe, they laughed at them and Spring ran over to them.

"hi, Lemon.....I saw what happened at the competition. Why did you do that? Did you pay him more bits to hang out with you?" Lemon was shocked! Her kindest friend just said something bad about her? Lemon was about to tell her the truth, but she just ran away from everyone and hid in the bathroom. In her thoughts, running through her mind, where images, images from a younger childhood. She had no talents, no friends, and no help at all. Everyone call's her Lemon because of the way she is. A wimp, coward, loser, all those things.

The door opened. It was Joe. He sat on the bathroom carpet with her as she cried.

"What did they say? Did they call you names? You shouldn't listen to them. They seem like-"

"Please don't say that! Spring is my best friend ! I'm sure she didn't mean it," she cut him off. He walked Lemon out of the bathroom and she put a fake smile on to make him smile back. She walked up to Spring. "Uh, Spring? Why did you say that about me? I thought we were friends..." she flipped her mane and didn't even look at her."What happen between us" she whispered in her ear.

Spring looked at lemon and said,"We don't need you anymore."
