It's Not Easy Being Green

Chapter ? - What the Muffin?

Previous Chapter

          It was a cold and miserable day. Celestia, I could see, felt cold and miserable. (I mean, everypony knows that the weather in the day and at night is caused by my sister's and my feelings, respectively!) And if you looked VERY closely at the sky, you saw a tint of... Green? It was definetely there, although it was hard to notice. This was really a dark time for  Using a Silence Spell (you automatically become visible in a princess's chamber if you have an invisibility spell put on you) I flew down the corridoor, carefully formulating new rules for the Lunar Kingdom - but about halfway down, I saw something outside the window. Then a small, brown thing flew in the window and hit me.

          The missile had got me square in the face. Carefully I touched a hoof to my cheek and felt that it was soft and springy. Very cautiously, I ate some. It was a muffin. Who in the name of of our great mother could have thrown a muffin at the window? I thought. I checked once more out of the window and saw the muffin-thrower herself!

     "Stop right there!"

     "Hiya Princess! Do you like muffins? I gave you one just now! By the way, your sun is pretty."

She had obviously just been a distraction, maybe had ben put up to it to stall while a comrade slipped in my room (I had stupidly left the door open) and played a trick. Flapping my wings, I trotted down the corridoor again, cursing. Using my magic, I pushed the door slightly and watched for a few seconds to see if anything fell from the top, a bucket perhaps. Apparently the pegasus had done this of her own accord. I trooped to my room and summoned the usual moon spell to raise my former prison - thinking that brought back painful memories, so I stopped - and went to bed, awaiting the morning, which would bring a new day and a new form for myself - that of the favoured Princess Celestia...
