I am like, IN SHOCK right now!

And I doubt it's the first time!!

About thirty minutes ago, when school was let out, I was putting all my books away when Twist came up to me looking kind of sad.

Huh. Guess that she's not all sunshine and rainbows.

Twist thanked me again for volunteering at Sugarcube Corner.

But when I told her how much I enjoyed myself and wanted to volunteer on a regular basis, she sighed loudly and stared down at the floor.

Then she told me that Sugarcube Corner was closing due to budget cuts. In ONE month.

"Oh my goodness! So soon?" I said.

Twist sighed again. "Sorry you didn't find out until now. I just found out yesterday, after you left.

"Pinkie's going frantic. She even rolled in ashes to look like a beggar, and pleaded random ponies for bits."

BITS! I felt the lightbulb turn on in my brain.

Canterlot is giving PMA 3,000 bits for Celestia's Creation.

The variety play is on the 17th. Less than a month!!

I realized that all I had to do was simply ask(scratch that) BEG the principal to donate the money to save Sugarcube Corner!

"Thank you for telling me this, Twist. I'll see what I can do." I said.

How desperate am I to save the bakery?

REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday, Sept. 13

The news that Sugarcube Corner was closing down spread like wildfire.

That meant Diamond Tiara already knew.

She doesn't like the cupcakes at Sugarcube Corner, so she might do something to really close it down.

That pony is a deceitful, lying brat and a lousy friend. She'll do just about anything to anypony to get what she wants.

But those bits from the play are MINE, and not even Diamond Tiara could do anything about that.

Saturday, September 14

I don't usually write on weekends, but I have got to tell you about this.

A family has moved next door to us. They're a mother, a father, and a snobby daughter about my age.

They're apparently super rich and come from Manehattan. They needed 5 moving vans to hold all their stuff.

I was blowing bubbles outside on our porch when I heard the daughter squeal to her mother," Mumsy, I want my iPad !!! NOW!!!!!!!!"

I laughed out loud. Mainly because THESE two things:

  1. WHO uses the word "mumsy" anymore?

  2. I've seen a pony use an iPad before, and she used it better than anybody with hooves should be able to!

When the daughter saw and heard me laughing, she stomped towards me.

I leaped off the porch and started to run. But you can't really blame me.

Hey, spoiled, bratty rich kids are NO joke!

The filly started to chase me around my front lawn. "What are you laughing at, you sick, sadistic, pony!?" She screeched.

Unfortunately, I tripped over a tree root out of the ground and my bubbles spilled in my mane.

The pony cackled like a twisted hyena. "I'm glad you know who you're messing with. My name's Pepper, just like the spray. That'll be easy for you to remember, because you don't want ME in your face!!!" She walked back over to her family.

I stifled another laugh. The foal was inches shorter than me. I mean, what threat can SHE be??

I'm just sayin'!

:)!!
