Aborted Romance

Moondancer was walking through the streets of Canterlot one day, listening to the Ponytones on her headphones. She was barely paying attention to where she was going. Most uncharacteristic for her.

She was on her way to the bakery shop to buy some quadruple chocolate chip cookies. She’s had her heart set on them for weeks, but had promised herself that she’d wait until she’d finished writing her thesis on alicorn magic before buying herself a bag as a reward.

Today was the day. The day to celebrate.The day to buy the cookies.

Narrowly avoiding walking into a few lampposts because she wasn’t really paying attention to where she stepped, she finally made it to the bakery without incident. She took her headphones off and spoke to the mare behind the counter. “One bag of quadruple chocolate chip cookies!” she ordered enthusiastically, with an enormous grin upon her face.

“Oh, I’m sorry. We just sold the last bag,” said the bakery pony. “To that mare over there — she gestured towards a lavender pony that was just leaving the shop.”

Moondancer turned around to see a purple flank heading out of the door. “After her! She has my cookies!” she squealed.

Because she was such a smexy little unicorn, half the stallions in the shop leaped up, eager to help her. They rushed to the doorway, but it was fairly narrow, so they all got jammed in. Moondancer used her magic to line them up and they went out in single file, following the purple mare.

Moondancer and the stallions galloped after the cookie purchaser, winding through the busy Canterlot streets, avoiding wagons, school fillies and school colts, street vendors, ponies carrying ladders, cats, dogs, and other such obstacles which are really not that important to the narrative of this story.

Soon they rounded a corner and Moondancer came face to face… well… face to flank with the cookie owner. It was her old friend Twilight Sparkle, whom she recognized from her flank, on account of her flank having a very unique cutie mark. Not like Amethyst Star who had the same cutie mark as several other background ponies.

Twilight Sparkle was there, sharing the cookies with her friends Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and the other one. Luckily, there was one spare… for Moondancer.

The stallions didn’t get any. Sucks to be them.

Moondancer learnt an important lesson about friendship. You should always share your quadruple chocolate cookies with your friends. Always. Because they’re nice. Very nice cookies indeed. And that’s what she learnt. From Twilight.
