Lunch Time

“You’re joking right?” Rainbow smirked when she asked the question. Rainbow looked over to Trixie “This is just some weird prank Trixie came up with,” she said walking up to Trixie. “I betting your using some type of illusion spell.” Rainbow finished saying just as she raised her hoof and poked at Trixie’s chest. Her face went from smirking to shock as her hoof went in a few inches into Trixie’s chest. “She's so soft and warm” Rainbow thought to herself.

“Get your… hoof off of… the great… and powerful… Trixie!” Trixie breathlesy said as she tried swatting Rainbows hoof away but with so much fat weighing down her forelegs she couldn’t even begin to move them. Her whole body jiggled as a response to her action. Even when Trixie gave up trying to get Rainbow’s hoof off her body still moved. “It’s not… an illusion…” she added as she panted, her face was slightly red and had a slight layer of sweat on her forehead.

Rainbow shook her head left and right and took her hoof off of Trixie. “So it’s not an illusion,” she said. “Then you probably just got too fat to teleport yourself home and have been stuck here.” Rainbow said.

“Does magic work like that?” Fix asked. “I know Rainbow is wrong since when Trixie came here she was skinny then and if she could of use magic she would have used magic if she could, and shes only gained weight while being here, but if ponies can get to fat to use magic that would explain why some ponies here can't use magic in my world.” He added.

“Sadly no, magic doesn't work like that since that would mean we could still use magic.” Starlight answered the mayor.

“Maybe Trixie doesn’t remember the spell to teleport home.” Twilight said optimisticly. “That would explain why she been stuck here.”

“Maybe Trixie's been stuck here because magic doesn't work here.” Fix said. “Haven't you tried using magic yet?” He asked.

“I have tried to use magic and it didn't work,” Twilight answered. “But maybe Starlight and I just exhausted our magic. We did just use a new spell and it could of used more magic than we thought it did.” She said.

“Maybe it also affected me and Fluttershy so we can’t fly!” Rainbow said.

“Stop denying what's happening.” Fix said trying to stop the girls from getting their hopes up. “You all lost your magic! The sooner you come to terms with that the sooner we can start focusing on working on a solution!” He exclaimed to make sure they all heard him.

“We have not lost our magic!” Rainbow and Twilight said back defensively.

“Then use it!” Fix ordered.

Rainbow started to flap her wings. Strong gust of wind was being generated. She got onto her back legs raising her forelegs into the air. She hopped a few times trying to get into the air. Come on you can do it She thought to herself. Eventually Rainbow stopped and was back with all four hooves on the ground.

“See you can’t fly.” Fix said with no enjoyment in being right.

“I can fly! I just haven't eat at all today I just need to get some food and I'll have the energy to fly.”

“Me and Twilight haven't eaten all day so maybe after we get some food we will be able to use are magic again.” Starlight said.

Fix let out a sigh. “If you say so, but if after you eat and you still cant use your magic will you just listen to me the?” he asked.

“Deal!” Rainbow said.

“Good.” Fix said. He tilted his head up to the ceiling. Everypony looked up to the ceiling too. All they could see was a glowing light line outline the edges of the roof and in the center of the roof is a dome shaped object about three feet in diameter.

“A.I please bring us double of what ever Trixie has for second Lunch usually.” He asked seemingly to nothing.

Three white line appeared on the side the dome on the ceiling. “Okay just one moment Mayor Fix.” said a hollow staticy voice coming out of the dome.

“Who is that?” Applejack asked.

“I'm not a who, I am a what.” said the voice.

“Then what is talking?” Applejack asked.

“I am.”

“Then what are you?” Applejack asked starting to get frustrated.
“I’m this home's Artificial intelligence system.” the A.I. answered. “A.I. for short.”

“A artificial intela what's it now?” Applejack asked to nopony particular

Fix was the one to answer Applejack “It's a computer with the ability to think and operate on its own. Every house and building uses one. Its need so ponies like Trixie who can do next to nothing for herself.”

“Lunch is now ready.” the A.I said to the room. The dome on the ceiling descended down to the ponies revealing a hole in the ceiling. A fresh aroma filled the room. As it came down to eye level with everypony they could see the other side to the dome. It's a flat table top with a variety of food. Over a four dozen Daffodile sandwiches, several pots fill up with soup. Countless pizzas each with a different topping. Three separate piles of hay fries. Six three tier cakes. All of this dominated everypony's view.

“That's all?” Fix asked. “I ordered double of what Trixie normally orders. I don't even think all of this would win her hunger.”

“Trixie can eat all of this!” Starlight and the others thought to themselves.

“Don’t worry Mayor Fix this is just a appetizer.” The A.I answered.

“Oh! Okay that makes sense,” Fix said. “Alright girls dig in.”

“Finally… Trixie is… wasting… away… over here!” Trixie said breathlessly . “A.I would… you please?” Tixie asked.

The A.I didn’t even answer her as it already knew what to do. Two robotic arms came out from the ceiling from the same place the dome has came down from. At the end of the arms was three rounded appendages.

Everypony watched as each one went to a different item. One went to a slice of pizza with red and green peppers on it, while the other grabbed one of the daffodil sandwiches. Both arms then moved to Trixie and extended the one with the pizza to Trixie first.

Trixie tilted her head and opened her mouth wide welcoming the pizza. The robotic arm lowered the pizza down so that Trixie could reach it. She took a big bite from the pizza smearing the tomato sauce on her chubby cheeks and chins.

Everypony watched insolent as Trixie chewed quickly before she swallowed and then take more bites from the slice of pizza. Soon the pizza was gone and was inside Trixie being digested.

“A.I… Trixie… requires… a drink.” She demanded.

“What do you wish to drink Ms.Lulamoon?” the A.I asked.

“The… usual.” She answered.

“A extra creamy peanut butter and chocolate shake coming on up.”

The now empty arm returned back to the ceiling while the one with the sandwich went closer to Trixie so Trixie could eat it. When the sandwich was devoured the other arm returned form the hole in the ceiling with a milkshake in a glass cup with a straw. When it got close enough for Trixie to reach she closed her mouth onto the straw and sucked down the shake only stopping when she suddenly got a brain freeze.

“Aren't you girls going to eat to see if you can get energy back so you can see if you can use magic?” Fix spoke getting everyone's attention away from Trixie.

“Ofcourse we are,”Rainbow said sounding confident. “Just there is so much there's, we don't know where to start?”

“I know where I’m going to start.” Pinkie said. “Those chocolate cakes look delicious.” She said as she bounced her way closer to the table.

Just as pinkie reached the table Twilight suddenly spoke, “Wait Pinkie.” Pinkie Pie stopped.

“What?” The pink mare asked.

Twilight didn't answer Pinkie as she turned to face Fix. “How do we know this food doesn't have anything in it?” She asked.

“You could of drugged them so that its all super addicting.” Starlight said walking and standing next to Twilight and glared at Fix. “That could help explain why Trixie has gotten so fat.” She thought to herself.

“What reason would I have to do that?” Fix deadpanned.

“Maybe you get some strange kick from it.” Rainbow said.

“I don’t get any kicks and I didn’t drug the food.” Fix said slightly irritated. “Trixie wasn't anywhere close to as annoying as these seven mares,” He thought. “Here I can prove it to you.” Fix walked up to the table and inspected it before he picked up a daffodil sandwich and took a bite out of it.

“See nothing.” Fix stated as he finished the sandwich.“Look I know you all just met me today and you’ve all had a long day and don't know much of this world and your still shocked at seeing how its affected your friend,but Please just trust me.” He added. He looked over to Twilight and Starlight as he spoke again, “Look the sooner you eat the sooner you can see if you still have magic.”

So with some reluctance from a few of the mares they walked to the table.

“Are there plates we could use?” Rarity asked. Shortly after Rarity spoke another arm came out of the hole in the ceiling balancing a stack of plates in its one hand.

“Here is the plates Miss.” The A.I said.

“Thank you,” Rarity said as she took the top plate of the stack and proceeded to walk around the table. The others did the a same after they retrieve their own plate. Eventually they all had a few items on their plates and sat around the table. Most were hesitant to eat Pinkie and Applejack took their first bites .

“Wow! This cake is delicious!” Pinkie exclaimed with frosting and cake crumbs on her mouth. “It's so moist and the frosting is so rich and creamy.”

“I can't believe food this good was done so fast.” Applejack said after finishing a bowl of tomato soup. “How many ponies are here cooking?” she asked.

“None.” Fix answers. “The A.I is able to makes multiple dishes at the same time.”

“That must come in handy for parties.” Pinkie said.

“Most definitely especially when ponies range from Trixie's size to even larger proportions.” Fix said. “I remember the last dinner party I had the A.I worked all night long just to get the appetizers done. I had to get the service of two other A.I one to do the main course and the other to do dessert.” he said remember fondly about the party.

The room filled with the sound of ponies munching. Occasionally the AI would be requested by Trixie for a refill of her milkshake or to get her more of a pacific dish. Fix just sat and waited patiently for the others to get done eating.

When he noticed that the seven mares were no longer eating he got back onto his hooves. “Did you all get enough?” He asked.

“Yes I think so.”Rainbow said. Rainbow got off the ground and onto her hooves. She flared her wings out and started to flap them. With each flap she put more and more effort. “Come on fly already.” she thought to herself angry. She stopped for only a moment to catch her breath before she tried again.

Twilight and the others watched in silence as they waited to see if Rainbow could fly. After each failed attempt they could feel a pit of despair inside them grow little by little.

“See you don’t have magic, so you can’t fly.” Fix said slight disappointed.

“I can fly!” Rainbow spat, now onto her fifth attempt. After her seventh attempt she stopped and breathed in heavily.

“I know how important magic is to you but you have to stop before you hurt yourself,” Fix said.

Rainbow glared at Fix. “How would you know how important magic is to us!” Rainbow said back angrily. “You never had magic to begin with!”

“Rainbow you got to calm down,”Rarity said. “You don't need to be yelling at Fix, he's not the reason why we cant use magic. He is only trying to help use.”

“Y-you’re right.” Rainbow said sadly. “Im sorry Fix.”

“Its okay Rainbow. Trixie was the same way when she appeared her and tried to use magic.”Fix said. Fix looked over to Trixie and sees the mare still eating to her heart's content with her face and chins covered in food stains. “She was very upset just like you, but you know what cheered her up?” He asked.

“Was it the food?” Pinkie asked.

Fix shook his head. “No even though she obviously enjoys it,” he glanced over to Trixie seeing her siping from a large green bowl that the robotic hand had tilted to allow her to drink. He then continued, “it was actually showing her around the city.” Fix said. He looked up to the ceiling “A.I whats the time?” he asked.

“It is two o’clock” robotic voice responded almost immediately.

“Okay thank you.” Fix said. “I don’t have a meeting until later tonight, so If you all want to I could show you around the city.”

The girls all looked to one another before they answered.

“I think that would be a good idea since we are stuck here for who knows how long.” Starlight answered for all of them.

“Alright then let's get back to the cruiser.” Fix turned around and walked to the door and just like before put his hoof onto the black panel and the door open. The others got up and followed him out. Starlight the last one to leave. Just as she was about to walk out the door she took a look back to Trixie. The image of how she remembered her friend being just what was a just a day ago to her slowly faded to what Trixie was now.

“Why did Twilight and I make that stupid spell?” She asked herself.

“Goodbye Trixie.” she said as she walked away following the others.
