What Do (Comment Driven Story)

Seeing how every story must start with a typical day...

1. Go shopping for groceries like bread, milk, eggs, vegetables, etc. and a pie for the hay of it

You feel a sudden compulsion to go into town and get groceries. You walk down the path south towards Ponyville, ignoring everything on the way.

Once you've reached the edge of town, your eyes scan your surroundings until you find what you were looking for - the bakery. Time for some bread, bitch. You step inside, and the cool A/C brushes through your hair. The unicorn standing at the counter flashes you a smile and leaves you to look around. You spot a nice looking loaf. You walk up to the counter, giving the pony a warm smile as you point towards the loaf.

"That one, please."

"'Course, sir. Just a sec."

She floats the bread to a paper bag and closes it up, then picking up the bag with the magic and handing it to you.

"Thanks."

You walk out of the bakery, warmth entering your hands from the bread wrapped in the paper and the sun beating back down on your shoulders as you step onto the dirt road. Next, time to go to the grocery store. You walk in, and in the same fashion as before, get some fruit and vegetables as well as some eggs and milk for other food like..

Pancakes. Cleaning up the drool from your chin, you walk on to Sugarcube Corner, where you can get a nice pie. Pinkie is there, and she waves a hoof at you. You wave back and buy the pie. Walking out with a large tasty pie, you sit down to eat. It was delicious.

Eat Ice Cream until you forget where you live.

Pinkie comes running out of Sugarcube Corner after you.

"Hey! Wait!"

1. Interact with the townsponies, but don't be a jerk/bully (we already have plenty of "Assholes in Equestria" stories...) be kind (or at the very least, be politely neutral)

"Yeah? What is it, Pinkie?"

"I challenge you to an ice cream eating contest!"

"An..."

"Ice cream eating conteeeeeeeeeest!"

"I don't think.."

"Come oon! Stop being so booring, I haven't seen you for weeks!"

"Fine.. I'll have an ice cream contest with you."

Two large tubs of ice cream were laid down on the table in front of you. You lost your appetite as soon as you saw them, but you had to, for the glory of humans everywhere! It had started. You saw Pinkie digging into her bucket immediately, and looked around you. A circle of ponies were glaring intently at the competition. Bring it.

You started on the ice cream, matching Pinkie's speed.

Around 10 minutes later, you were near the bottom of your bucket, and Pinkie was almost finished too. You felt so full, you'd forgotten where you lived. Ugh.

"I give up, Pinkie. I'll die if I eat anymore..", you say.

"Yay! Nice effort! Hahaha!", she replied back, finishing off her ice cream. She pats you on the back and walks into the crowd who are all clopping their forehooves together.

1. Get a book from the library. Fortunately, the literature here is similar to the books back on Earth with the names and characters changed to animal puns: (The Horseback of Notre Dame, I Have No Snout Yet I Must Whinny, Of Ponies and Prejudice, etc.)

You got up, and decided to go to Twilight's to get a novel while you regained your senses. Stories in Equestria were, as the land's names were, full to the brim of horse puns, but fairly similar to Earth's books. Maybe you should brush up on your Equestrian history, and pick up I, Celestia. Hm, you already learned a lot about the world. Maybe another time. Maybe a horror, something like Lord of the Parasprites. Nah. You decided you should ask Twilight what was new.

Approaching the treehouse, you knock on the door. The top half swings open, and Twilight stands at it, smiling.

"Hey! Didn't expect to see you here, where have you been?", she says.

"Oh, I've just been at home most of the time.", you reply.

"Okay. Are you well? Want to pick up a book or two?"

"Yeah, actually. What's new around here? Oh, and I'm fine, thanks for asking."

"Well.. I just picked up The Maze Trotters, you might like that.. oh! Or there's All my Pony Sorrows, it's a new one. It's a tragedy, but a good read. And, there's also Somepony, it came in last year as I remember. Any you want there?"

"I'll give The Maze Trotters a go, thanks."

"Great! Always nice to see you come in for a book to read every now and then.", she says, as she levitates the book towards you.

By this time, you'd regained your memory of where you'd lived, and after saying goodbye and promising to come and get another book again soon, you left the treehouse and walked back home. Opening the door, the warmth of your house compared to the ponies' homes welcomed you in. As you close the door behind you, you notice the letter from this morning on the table in front of you, but you ignore it for now. It might be a good idea to go on a run.

Boring parts aside, after taking an hour long excursion around Ponyville and the surrounding areas in a jogging pace, you return home. Once again the letter beckons you, but now you're hungry and sweaty, plus a little tired. You might need to take a little rest or sit down and watch the TV you'd picked up a while back from the humans who'd started inventing items from Earth (although, to be honest, there wasn't much to watch in Equestria, as the idea of televisions were fairly new, so there were a few channels only). You sit down.

What do you do?
