A short little story I wrote because I was bored. This is what happens when I decide to put my own little spin on the whole, "Rarity is a marshmallow" thing.

Chapter the first and only.

Chapter the first and only.

Sweetie Belle entered Carousel Boutique, and sighed. She had had a long day at school, and was starting to regret, 'Cutie Mark Crusaders Coffee Testers' just before going to bed last night. She slowly ascended the stairs to her room, when she heard a weird noise coming from Rarity's bedroom. It sounded oddly like gnawing. She trotted over to the door, and shouted, "Hey Rarity, are you alright?" She was too tired for anything else.

"Oh yes, perfectly fine Sweetie Belle. Now be a good little filly and run off to bed," came the muffled reply through the door.

"If you say so," replied Sweetie, as she walked back over to her bedroom door. She opened it, walked inside, and flopped onto the bed. She was asleep instantaneously.

Whilst she slept, she dreamed. Her dreams were filled with giant marshmallows falling from the sky. Had Luna observed this dream, she would have indulged herself in the deliciousness of them; however, she did not.

Sweetie Belle was awoken by a strange noise, just like the one she had heard earlier coming from Rarity's bedroom. She decided to investigate, thinking Rarity would be asleep. She stealthily scooted across the floor, and sneaked into her sister's room. Upon opening the door she beheld a strange sight. That of Rarity eating herself. Or, to be more precise, gnawing on her own hoof. "Rarity! What... are you doing?"

Rarity quickly hid her hoof behind her back, and said, "Sweetie Belle, darling, please try and remember to knock. It's unlady-like of you not to."

"I'll do it next time, Rarity. But now, would you mind answering my question, and tell me what you were doing," Sweetie Belle pressed Rarity.

Rarity sighed, and said, "I knew this day would come, sooner or later. I was just hoping for later. Let me put it bluntly Sweetie: I'm a marshmallow," with these words she cast a quick spell, removing the pony-shaped illusion, leaving behind a giant marshmallow, with a mouth, and Rarity's mane and tail. It continued speaking, "And at times, when I'm really hungry, I feel the need to... well, you saw for yourself."

Sweetie Belle made a quick look of disgust on her face, and exclaimed, "Well, have no fear! For I to, am a marshmallow!" She then cast an identical spell to that of Rarity's and revealed a smaller marshmallow, with a mouth, and Sweetie Belle's mane and tail. Rarity gasped a little in shock, when suddenly a large crash was heard, as Scootaloo and Apple Bloom crashed into the boutique, one riding her scooter, the other following behind in a red wagon.

"And I am a roast chicken!" exclaimed Scootaloo, who suddenly disappeared, to be replaced by a small roast chicken, also with a mouth and Scootaloo's mane and tail.

"And Ah'm an apple!" added Apple Bloom, also being replaced with the aforementioned apple, which bore a mouth, and her mane and tail. As Sweetie Belle was about to say something, the door burst open, and the Mane Six, minus one, rushed through the door.

"Well, if we are all revealing our food origins, I'm actually a grape," started Twilight.

"And Ah'm three apples, all stacked on each other," continued Applejack.

"And I'm butterscotch ice cream. If, um... that's ok with you, anyway," Fluttershy continued, cowering a little behind all the food.

"And I'm a zap apple! And an awesome one at that!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash, continuing.

"And I'm cotton candy! Whee!" Pinkie Pie finished, spinning around in excitement.

They then simultaneously revealed their true forms, in order: A horned grape, three apples in a vaguely pony-shaped stack, a bowl of butterscotch ice cream, a zap apple, and a large mass of cotton candy. They all retained the mane and tail of the ponies they had been. Just as Rarity was about to comment, Princess Celestia crashed through the ceiling. "And I am a giant chilly pepper!" exclaimed the princess, showing her proper form. She, as well as all the other foodstuffs kept her mane and tail.

Sweetie Mallow sighed, having realized today was going to be one of those days. As if on cue, as Sweetie was thinking that, Luna flew through the hole her sister had left, and exclaimed, "AND I ART A PIE, MADE OF BLUEBERRIES," in The Royal Canterlot Voice. Once again, she was replaced with a giant blue pie, still with her mane and tail.

Three more ponies ran into the boutique, for no apparent reason. Not that any of the other ponies already there had had a reason. The first said, "I'm actually a giant carrot."

"And I'm a wrapped candy," said the second.

"And I, am a green mint!" finished the third. Then, just as Sweetie expected, they turned into their respective food, and as expected, kept their manes and tails.

Cheerilee gingerly walked in, and said, "And for that matter, I'm actually a daisy," as she turned into a pot, with a single daisy in it. Somehow, it also kept her mane and tail.

Just as Sweetie was about to complain, a blue box materialized in the middle of the room, and a stallion and a mare jumped out. The stallion said, "And we are both herbs," before both him, and his companion turned into a sprig of thyme, each in their own separate vase. Once more, the mane and tail of each remained.

Then, Cadence flew into the hole caused by the other two alicorns. She landed gracefully, and stated, "And I... am cup of hot chocolate," turning into it thusly. This too, had her mane and tail.

Suddenly all the shadows in the room flowed into one place, and formed King Sombra. He growled, "Crystals. Crys. Tals, tals. Crystal."

Chocodence translated, "He means I am actually rock candy." As if to prove her right, King Sombra was replaced by a large rock candy structure, in the exact shape and form of King Sombra. This didn't have his mane and tail, but it was detailed in the rock candy.

"Well, I, for one, didn't expect that to happen," said Sweetie Mallow.

Before anypony else got a chance to say something in reply, Derpy Hooves crashed through the wall, rump first. She stated, eyes crossed, "And I'm a-

"DISSSSSCORRRRD!" yelled a feminine voice.

"Yes, mommy?" the young draconequus asked.

"Stop playing with your food! Just eat it," his alicorn mother replied.

"Oh fine," grumbled Discord, snapping his fingers, and returning his food to it's natural state, as inanimate edible objects.
