Charlie's "first" donut

Sorry if I made a mistake with the Turkish sentences.

“Twilight, this isn’t easy!”

Twilight sighed.

“Maybe we should try something different.”

Charlie walked over to a chair and sat down. He then glanced over at Twilight.

“Oh, and did I ever mention that humans never achieved teleportation.”

Twilight shook her head.

“No, you never mentioned that! That would have been useful to know… anyways, what have humans achieved.”

“Humans aren’t very good at magic, however, my mentor knew quite a few tricks. He knew levitation, a lightning bolt, a... uh, light ball thingy, a magical push, which I do have to say wasn’t very potent, and a shadow concealment spell. Oh, and he also knew how to do something called a ‘time distortion spell’, which I though was his best trick.” Charlie said with glee.

Twilight thought about it for a while, then glanced back at Charlie.

“’Time distortion’, what is that?” She asked.

“Well, it’s a good thing he taught me it, but it was a bad thing that it is the only thing I remember…. here, let me show you.”

Charlie lifted up his hand, then flicked it. He suddenly became blurry, then he walked across the room in a sped up fashion. Once he appeared he was breathing heavily.

“Wow… you really have to teach me that one day!” Twilight exclaimed in awe.

“Well, it isn’t that hard, and for your skill, it should be easy.”

“Why don’t we go get something to eat, my treat.” Twilight said before she began to walk towards the bedroom.

“That sounds wonderful!” Charlie smiled. “By the way, where are you going?”

“I’m going to go wake up Spike. Hey, why don’t you go get Rainbow Dash, she wanted to go to Canterlot with us today.”

“Sure, and thanks for treating me to breakfast.”

Twilight smiled.

“No problem.”

Charlie walked towards Rainbow’s home. He was in a good mood, due to the fact that his best friend was going to take him to lunch.

“Oh, hello!”

Charlie stopped thinking and turned around. There, was a wall-eyed pony he knew as…

“Hello Derpy, nice day today isn’t it.”

“Certainly is! By the way, I never got to thank you for saving me.”

“Oh, don’t worry about it, it what friends do for each other, right?”

“Certainly, but here, have this. I made it myself!”

Charlie reached out and grabbed the muffin Derpy pulled out from her saddle bag.

“Thanks Derpy!”

“No problem.”

Charlie, now in an even better mood, walked towards Rainbow’s home, eating the muffin along the way.

“Hey Rainbow Dash!” He called out with a full mouth.

A few seconds of rustling passed before she flew out of her home. She did a loop in the air before she landed.

“Hey Charlie, what’s up?”

“Hey Rainbow Dash. Twilight wanted me to call you, we’re going to Canterlot today!”

“Awesome, I’ll meet you guys at the train station.”

She then took off towards town at a dashing speed.

Charlie walked into the train station and saw his friends gathered.

“Hey Charlie, you ready to go?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah.”

They arrived at the city of Canterlot in no time. Charlie, already dressed up in his formal attire, was the first one to walk out.

He took in a deep breath of air.

“Ah, clean air!” He then placed his hands on his waist and stood tall.

“Uh, what are you doing?” Rainbow asked from behind him.

“Posing for the tourists!” Right when Charlie said this, Rainbow looked out from behind him and was blinded by the flash of a camera.

“Ah!” He shouted. He then placed both hands on his eyes.

Twilight giggled.

“Oh, you still have much to learn about Equestria.”

“Oh boy!”

The meals were being placed in front of their recipients, with Charlie and Spike being the most excited out of the group of four. Once Charlie received his, he placed a napkin on his shirt, and dug in.

“Jeez, you act like you haven’t eaten in days, all the time.” Rainbow said with a chuckle.

Charlie glanced up, with a piece of pasta in his lips. He slurped it up, then wiped his mouth with napkin.

“Well, my mentor always did say that I did have the appetite of a bear.”

“That was wonderful!” Charlie exclaimed. He rubbed his belly, then got up and stretched.

“Well, what’s next?” Spike asked once he got up.

“Well, I thought I would treat you guys to some dessert.” Twilight said.

Rainbow smiled.

“Cool, where are we going?”

“Donut Joe’s.”

“I know I didn’t ask earlier, but what’s a donut.” Charlie asked while a platter of donuts were being placed on the table.

Joe, who was the one placing the platter on the table, let out a hearty laugh.

“What’s a donut, why, it’s one of the best desserts you could have ever eaten!”

Charlie glanced at a donut, then picked it up and examined it.

“Doesn’t look like much…”

“But why do I have the feeling like I have seen this before.”

“There isn’t too much to it, but I can guarantee that you’ll love it.” Joe said.

Charlie brought the donut to his mouth and took a bite. Almost immediately he gasped.

“This is great!!!” He exclaimed.

“I knew it.” Joe smiled in triumph.

He ate the donut in a flash. He licked his fingers, then glanced at Twilight.

“May please have another?” He asked.

“Sure, go ahead.”

He took another donut, and ate it in a few bites.

Once he finished he sat for a few moments, silent, while staring at the ceiling.

“Uh, you alright?” Rainbow asked.

“Now I remember where I tasted this from!” He shouted. He reached into his cloak and pulled out a book.

“What’s with the book?” Joe asked.

“It’s his memory book.” Twilight answered.

“Oh, ok.”

Charlie opened it up and placed his hand on the page. He glanced around, then placed it on the floor.

“I’m lucky there’s nopony else here.”

Joe lifted an eyebrow.

“Why, what are you doing?”

“I’m going to show you guys a memory, one where I had my first donut, ehem, it all began on the day of my tenth birthday….”

“Hey, mentor, where are we going?” A younger Charlie asked his mentor, who was walking ahead of a group.

“Wait, who is that?” Twilight pointed with a hoof and asked.

“You’ll see.”

“And what is this, I’ve never seen this before?!” Joe asked, astonished.

“It’s my memories, projected from this book.” Charlie answered.

“Amazing…”

“Well, let us continue….”

“We are going to the Southern Kingdom.” Charlie’s mentor answered.

“Why, what’s there?”

“Something special for your birthday.” Charlie’s mentor answered.

“Oh cool! Thanks mentor! By the way, who’s this?” Charlie pointed at the person walking next to him.

“Charlie, you know not to point.”

Charlie lowered his hand, so his mentor continued.

“He’s the one who’s giving you your surprised.”

Charlie smiled, then glanced up at the person, whose face was covered with a cloth.

“What’s your name, sir?

“My name is İstemi, an honor to meet you.”

İstemi extended out his hand, which Charlie took and shook. He smiled.

“Nice to meet you too!”

“Now that we are all acquainted, shall we continue?”

“Mentor, is that it?”

“Yes Charlie, welcome, to the City of the Sky!”

Charlie gasped in awe as he looked in the distance. There were many tall buildings that seemed to touch the sky. Charlie glanced back at İstemi, who was looking at the city with a smile.

“Ah, my city, I return.”

Charlie walked beside his mentor and İstemi, who were talking in some other language, one that Charlie recognized as the Southern Kingdom’s primary language.

“We are here.”

Charlie looked at İstemi, who approached an ornamentally dressed guard. The guard placed a hand on the hilt of his sword, however, once he did, İstemi removed the cloth on his face. The guard immediately removed his hand from his sword and kneeled.

“Sultan, tekrar hoşgeldiniz.”

“İyi günler koruma.”

“What are they saying?” Charlie asked.

“Oh, nothing important.” Charlie’s mentor responded.

İstemi turned around to Charlie’s mentor.

“Alright, is the little one ready for his surprise?” İstemi asked.

“Yes, İstemi.”

Charlie walked through many corridors and down many stairs alongside his mentor. Finally, after 10 minutes, they arrived at a large door with a circle in the middle. Stationed beside it were two heavily armored yet ornamental guards.

“Alright Charlie, we are here.” Charlie’s mentor said.

“Yes, and thank you for your patience.” İstemi added. He then turned to his attention to Charlie’s mentor. He looked with one eye at Charlie, and covered his mouth with his hand.

“Küçük terörü burada genellikle sabırsız gelir.”

Charlie’s mentor chuckled, leaving Charlie confused.

“What did he say?” Charlie asked. Both adults turned to Charlie.

“Oh nothing, little one.” His mentor answered.

“Anyways, onward to the surprise.” İstemi said. Charlie continued to glance back and forth between the adults, confused. After a while, however, İstemi opened the door.

Once he opened the door, a sweet smell entered Charlie’s nose. He walked with his mentor into the room, and immediately saw a bunch of people walk his way.

“Welcome Sultan!” They all approached İstemi, who was given a platter full of round things by a person with a round hat.

“Wait a second, those look like donuts!” Joe added.

“Yes they certainly are!” Charlie added. “And I can tell you they were one of the best things I had ever eaten!” Charlie walked over to his book and picked it up. He closed it and placed it into his cloak.

“Why did you show us this?” Twilight asked. Charlie chuckled.

“Because there is something wonderful that my mentor told me about.” Charlie said. “He told me that in that same room is a door, and behind that door is an object that has the inscription of all the donut recipes the southern kingdom has!”

Joe’s eyes shrunk.

“That would be great to have! Tell me, do you know where this is?”

“I think I do.” Charlie answered. “I found a ruin that I suspect might be the ruins of the City of the Sky…”

“Well what are we waiting for?” Joe interrupted. “Let’s go!”
