Author's Note

Description: Pinkie finds joy in maple syrup.

Genre: Slice of Life.

Why it was scrapped: An entry for the Flashfic group, prompt of August 2024 for "Syrupy Sweet", that I never ended up posting because the ADD distracted me and I completely forgot until it was too late.

Additional notes: Might seek to expand this fully sometime in the future, or include it as a throwaway bit in another story.

Syrupy Sweet [Slice of Life]

Breakfast on the rock farm was fairly simple: it was a rock and some water. To Mom and Dad, that provided enough nutritional value for a morning's work. But maple syrup? On rocks? The rocks Pinkie had every morning were sweet enough. What good would adding maple syrup do?

Still, she felt apt to try it. Pouring some on her rock, she watched it slip down the thing, more and more until it hit the plate. And then, she scooped up the rock and took a bite.

Her pupils widened, allowing anypony who looked into them to stare deep into the soul of a hardworking rock-farming filly with a penchant for partying. She retreated into her own mind, a world where maple syrup could go on anything and everything she could possibly imagine.

And it was in that world she found her newest party inspiration.
