time stops and the universe is replaced with all kinds of buck...
if you read the description than you are just being repetitive now, still I'm flattered...
It was a completely normal day in Ponyville... the sun was shining and there were several fluffy clouds hanging lazily in the sky because a certain prismatic Pegasus had just started her coffee break.
Rainbow Dash rubbed her eyes and yawned as she glided down to the ground. Don't get her wrong, rainbow was the fastest flyer in all of equestrian, eating extreme for breakfast...
-rainbows tummy made rumbly noises at the thought of breakfast-
... but that was just the problem today. Rainbow Dashes alarm clock had fallen through cloud floor again. Because of this she had not woken up until 8:55. Rainbow managed to get to work just on time... treating the town to an early morning Sonic Rainboom... but skipping her usual breakfast of toast and hay bacon.
now it was 10:30, and by law Rainbow got fifteen minutes to break... which was a good thing, because the poor Pegasus pony was pooped.
Rainbow landed and yawned again. She needed a quick pick-me-up, Rainbow made her way over to Ponyville shopping district, passing several shops and the Apple store, where about thirty hipster ponies whee waiting in line for a pie phone some number or other... rainbow ignored them and trudged on tiredly.
Rainbow turned the corner and... oh my gosh its Pinky Pie!
"Hiya Dashi, whats happening." said the pink force of nature with a brilliantly executed grin.
"oh, high Pinkie, I'm just on break, whats new with you?" Dash responded continuing her walk towards her goal. on the other end of the street stood a large white rotunda building. about halfway up the building a stylized brown sign wrapped around structure showing a logo just above the door. the logo was of a green hippo-campus mare, wearing full regalia of a princess, all contained in a neat symmetrical circle. the roof of the building was white like the exterior walls going up like a normal roof but then flattening along the top.
"WEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL..." began Pinkie Pie with a smile. "i woke up this morning when i heard an explosion and had a small party with gummy to celebrate the seven year anniversary of the time that i swallowed bubblegum, it sure feels great to have that out of my system. Then i came upstairs to the bakery and made exactly forty eight doughnuts (half jelly, half regular), theeeeen i frosted a wedding cake for Lyra and BonBon, I'm happy for them, but i really think that they should have picked butter cream frosting instead of coconut, anyways... INHALE... then i made exactly two hundred and forty one cupcakes and ate one so now its just two hundred and forty cupcakes. then my hooves tingled my tail twitched and i sneezed so i made thirteen blueberry muffins. about ten minuets later Derpy Hooves came by and ordered a dozen muffins which i had ready and bagged for her. then i went on my break and followed Derpy to a field where we joined Time Turner to examine a pile of broken alarm clocks all in a field... "
Rainbow dash looked up and away in a sort of 'who me?' look, though nobody had accused her of anything. still Rainbow didn't want to be charged with littering for the several hundred alarm clocks that had fallen through her cloud floor, so she kept silent.
"Time turner kept pointing some buzzy light thing at it and rambling about subspace anomalies. he really rambles sometimes..."
Rainbow raised an eyebrow to at Pinkie and smiled a bit. the walking Pink run-on sentence continued.
"Then I remembered why i made thirteen muffins in stead of twelve muffins and came here." Pinky finished with a smile.
Rainbow scratched her head for a moment...
"so why was that?" She asked forgetting rule one of Equestria, 'Don't question Pinkie Pie.'
"well DUH... whenever my hooves tingle and my tail twitched and i sneeze it means that one of my friends skipped breakfast... SOOOOOOOO here you go!"
Pinky forked over a particularly delicious looking blueberry muffin to Rainbow Dash just as they entered the door to the Star'buck's Coffee house.
"oooooohhhh, whats this place?" Pinky asked looking around with giant eyes full of wonder.
"oh.. um.. thanks Pinky Pie this looks really good. This..." Rainbow gestured to the interior of the coffee house, "is Star'buck's, haven't you ever been here?" Rainbow quickly devoured the muffin as she walked into the coffee house.
"nopey opey," replied Pinky who walk inside to join the cyan Pegasus.
the inside of the Star'buck's was cozy in a mass produced sort of way. The walls where painted off white and dark green. several tables and comfy chairs where strewn around the store. at the front of the store was a a large barista counter with large chrome appliances, whose purpose was unknown other than that somehow the teenage stallion behind the counter got coffee out of them... somehow.
"really?" asked Rainbow skeptically.
"really... what do they do here?"
"they make coffee..."
"really? why would we come somewhere with sick ponies."
(both Celestia and Luna jumped up startled by the clearly audible sound of Rainbow facehoofing from ponyville.)
"no pinky, not coughing...coffee..like the drink... you know? coffee?"
"what?"
"coffee... its a drink. you know? bitter taste... cream and sugar...brown color...caffeine?" Rainbow asked... the notion of pinkie pie existing without the aid of caffeine seemed too fantastic to fathom.
"huh?" pinky asked, her face in a blank -LOL WUT- expression.
Morbid curiosity overtook Rainbow just then. could it be safe? yes... yes nothing could possibly go wrong... it had to be safe... right?
Rainbow approached the counter and addressed the scrawny barista.
"two black coffee's please." Rainbow ordered polity.
"black with what?" the barista replied dumbly... honestly did i stutter?! BLACK COFFEE!!! every time... grumble grumble...
Rainbow gave the stallion a look to this effect. he quickly set about with the order and in a flash produced two cups... rainbow noted, not for the firsts time, that the white cups, covers, and logo-ed cardboard heat shields resembled the buildings exterior almost perfectly.
Rainbow forked over six bits for the coffee... outrageous but there wasn't anywhere else in town that sold good coffee, this wasn't Sesaddle after all.
"here you go pinky." said rainbow, handing pinky the beverage with a smile.
"thanks!" replied Pinkie.
pinky eyed the cup for a second, sniffed at it and took a cautious sip... smacked her lips and clicked her tongue. she took another sip.
Rainbow bit her lip in anticipation... it was like watching a fuse burn on a big fire cracker... this was going to be life changing, the world, no the universe would never be the same!...Right?
"its okay..." pinkie said taking another sip, "needs sugar."
Rainbow smiled and released a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding... she giggled to herself. honestly what could have possibly gone wrong? it was just coffee...
the two finish their coffee's, bid each other goodbye, and got back to work for a perfectly ordinary day in ponyville.
the end...
