Not all of us are monsters. Changeling of two lands.
Chapter 6 : Sugar Cube Corner
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI woke in the morning after possibly the best sleep I’ve had in months.
“Good morning, Twilight!” I said cheerfully.
Twilight was already downstairs reading through her notes. Her ‘good morning’ was more of an ‘mf’. I decided to do some reading of the Ponyville’s history book, although I was not too interested in it.
Instead I stared out of the window, and as if my eyes deceived me, I saw a snow flake fall. Then I realized, it was mid-Winter, but I was afraid of snow, because before I went to Canterlot, the snow nearly froze me to death. I was surprised to see fillies playing in it. I looked curious as more flakes fell silently down from the sky. After a few minutes, bigger and bigger clumps of snow and they rested on the ground, only to be trampled by fillies hooves.
I was taken out of my thoughts by knocking on the door. I turned to see Twilight open the door, and Pinkie Pie entering.
“Hi Twilight, how’s little miss changey over there?” Pinkie asked cheerfully.
“Oh, she’s been no trouble what so ever!” smiled Twilight, “She is so timid, she hasn’t asked for anything yet.”
I gave a tiny smile and Pinkie hopped up to me,
“What will be will you?” Pinkie asked curiously.
“Call me um… Blackfire…” I whispered timidly, “B-Blackfire is my name…”
“Ok Blackfire!” Pinkie smiled graciously, and she hopped back to Twilight.
I turned back to the window, but I turned to Pinkie when she called my name,
“Blackfire, want to come to Sugar Cube Corner with us?” Pinkie asked.
I smiled and nodded, then made sure my disguise was up and running. Soon we left the library and were on our way to Sugar Cube Corner.
It only took a few moments before we were there. The sweet scent of sweets and cake mesmerize me. Once all three of us entered, the noise and smells hit me like a train smashing into me. My jaw dropped.
“Well here we are, Sugar Cube Corner!” Pinkie spoke loudly, “take what every you’d like Blackfire!”
Ponies watched me walk up to the counter, with smiles on their faces.
“Take whatever you want for free, since your new in Ponyville!” Pinkie said generously.
I smiled back happily, and took a slice of cake. I sat down at a table with Pinkie and Twilight. We both began to eat our share of cake. When the first bit touched my tongue, I tucked into it.
“Mm, Pinkie this is so good!” I declares, not very loudly, but others around heard and smiled.
After that cake, Pinkie invited us into the back of Sugar Cube Corner, were the best cakes – and the cake making- is kept. Pinkie hopped forward and opened the fridge door, to revile a huge masterpiece of a cake.
“This is the `Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness” Pinkie murmured in awe of the cake, “or the M.M.M.M for short.”
“It looks…” I murmured, lost for words.
“I know, right!” Twilight put in, just as lost as I was.
Pinkie closed the door and escorted us out. We sat at our table again, but Pinkie had to go and work the counter.
“Thank cake looked wonderful…” I murmured, my breath taken away, “How can someone bake that?”
“You know as much as me!” Twilight replied.
Once I and Twilights bellies were royally stuffed, we went back to the library. Twilight went back to revising her notes on changelings, I asked if she needed anything, but she said ‘Nothing, but thanks’. I went upstairs to see spike, and he was curled up in his basket. I smiled a tiny smile, and then went back down stairs again.
“Twilight, is it ok if I make myself some tea?” I asked reluctantly.
“Sure.” Twilight replied, deep in thought.
“Would you like some?” I asked once more.
“Yes, please!” Twilight replied again, deep in thought.
I went and boiled the kettle and got out a couple of cups. Once I made the nice warm tea, I levitated it with my red magic.
“Here you are, Twilight.” I spoke calmly and I put the cup next to her.
“Thanks Blackfire.” Twilight spoke with gratitude, “I really could use a break from all this studying.”
I sat on my bed and carefully balanced the cup of tea on my hoof. I drank it slowly, letting the warm drink give me some streanth.
It’s maybe about mid-night or something, but I don’t know. I yawned and lay back on my bed and read for a little while. One I was bored of that, I closed my eyes and slept.
