Getting the First Story

   Lemon Zest and Pinkie Pie met back up at Pinkie's house after they gathered the supplies they would need. A typewriter, a camera, plenty of paper, an example newspaper, etc. They set their stuff on a round table and sat down, trying to look business-like. But, of course, they were just too excited and gave up. A minute of silence went by.

   "Soooo...any ideas?" Lemon asked awkwardly.

   "I guess we could first just interview each other." Pinkie shrugged. She picked up the camera. "You want to be interviewed first?"

   "What are you going to use that for. It's a newspaper! You can't put videos on it!"

   "It's for pictures. All newspapers have pictures!"

   Lemon set up the typewriter and put paper in it so they could type up the interview. She wrote "THE LEMON PIE DAILY" at the top of the paper.

   "Interviews are boring. We need a more exciting idea." Lemon told Pinkie. "Like me saving a cat from a tree or something."

   "Or an alligator!" Pinkie literally screamed. She zipped out of the room. Lemon was totally clueless.

   Pinkie reappeared in the room, this time with Gummy, her pet alligator. Lemon suddenly noticed what Pinkie was talking about.

   "Pinkie, don't even think about it. You know I'm afraid of heights!" Pinkie smiled mischievously.

   "Ahhhhh!" Lemon screamed, stranded on the branch of a tree. "Pinkie Pie, this is the worst idea ever!! I was joking about the tree thing!" Right across from her on the other branch was Gummy, just standing there, blinking silently.

   "Don't worry!" Pinkie laughed. "I left these pillows down here just in case! Now go and save Gummy!"

   Lemon gulped then inched towards the baby alligator, the branch shaking beneath her. She grabbed Gummy. "How do I get him down?" She realized that there was no ladder or any way down at all.

   "Oh. I forgot about that." Pinkie admitted. "Give me a second! I gotta go get a ladder!" She bounced inside her house in search of a ladder.

   Meanwhile, Lemon tried to calm herself down, clinging to a branch. "Come on, Lemon Zest. You won't fall. You won't fall. And if you do, there are pillows to catch you." She looked down at the flat, stiff pillows. "Don't look down!!!"

Nothing to do

   "I'm bored." Lemon Zest groaned. Both her and Pinkie Pie were at her house. By now it was about 3:00pm and they had already done everything fun they could think of, starting with eating a cupcake upside down, hanging off of Twilight's balcony. Twilight didn't know this, of course.

   "Well, let's think of something to do, then!" Pinkie Pie said, bouncing up and down. "Have we already ficked a flashlight on and off in a pitch black room making totally strange sounds?"

   "Yeah." Lemon sighed. "I seriously can't believe we've done everything."

   "Trust me. We haven't tried everything." Pinkie assured. "We just need to take a step up."

   "I don't underst-"

   "OH! OH! How about we become AUTHORS?!"

   "Um...in one day? I don't think so. That's a little bit bigger step than we need. What about a lemonade stand? I make great lemonade!"

   "Think bigger! I know! Let's get into the newspaper!"

   "How are we going to do that?" Lemon asked. "Especially today?" She eyed the clock which now said 3:40.

   "Hm. You're right." Pinkie considered. She finally stopped jumping up and down. "Then what else can we do?" A light flickered on in Lemon's mind.

   "Maybe we could make our own newspaper?" she offered. "You know, like we write all the stories?"

   "Hey, that's a great idea!" Pinkie cried. "What should we call it? All newspapers need a name."

   "Well, Equestria Daily is taken." Lemon thought aloud. "The Lemon Zest and Pinkie Pie Newspaper?"

   "Too long. We could combine our names and call it The Lemon Pie Daily?"

   "Perfect!!" Lemon exclaimed, giving Pinkie a hoofbump.
