Author's Note

RandomCommentor put the gun there.

Chekov's gun but its just a literal gun that does nothing until the end of the chapter

Twilight Sparkle walked past the regular, plain, everyday handgun that was sitting on the ground under the tree. It is very important that you DO NOT IGNORE THE GUN because it is VERY RELEVANT for later.

She pushed the door open into Sugarcube Corner and ordered three croissants. Three of them, count 'em with me--one, two, three!

Spike is inexplicably there too I guess. Maybe he'll be relevant too.

Twilight picked up the croissants from Not Pinkie Pie, who was totally not the Shadow Leader of Sugarcube Corner, and left. Left Spike behind, I mean. She went upstairs to Pinkie's rented room for some reason before taking off through an open window. Okay, now she's left left.

As she flew, one of the croissants slipped from her grasp, dropping down and hitting every branch of the tree below before landing on top of the gun, which fired a blank that was loud enough to startle Spike, unfortunately leading to a burst of fire breath that led to Sugarcube Corner catching on fire.

"Good work," Not Pinkie Pie slipped a wad of cash to Spike as she slinked away.

What.
