Inspired by the stories of The Triptych Continuum.

On a field trip to Canterlot, Cheerilee's class encounter one of the most unusual members of the castle staff. A pony named Sizzler, who works at the meat station of the Lunar Kitchen. Responsible for cooking and serving the meals of visiting carnivores, he has a rare 'once in a generation' cutie mark. Persuaded to tell his tale, the CMC listen with rapt attention.

After all, they would do anything to get their cutie marks. But would they really be willing to work with meat?

While this story was inspired by A Total Eclipse Of The Fun and Naked Lunch it is not part of that continuity. All OCs created by Estee are used with permission. Initial idea discussed in this blog post.
