Before I start this Chapter... I thought that the best thing to do was put EL in an uncomfortable situation. Then we would do a whole chapter about her feelings, since she had little interaction with other ponies. Sooooo Lets see how this goes.


I was pretty mad at myself. Did I really just tell him that I was avoiding everypony?

"Smooth move, Clipsy. Smooth move."

"Well, you're flying pretty well, so I would say it is a smooth move." A bright male voice said.

My wings snapped to my sides and I wildly spiraled to the ground. The pony who spoke to me was not a pegasus, but a small earth pony who had a cannon strapped to his back.

His blond hair had a cherry red spot on the top, and three powdered pastries rested on his peach flank. The cannon he was wearing had his cutie mark on the back. His slender face was beaming and I couldn't help but smile too.

"Sorry about knocking you out of the sky earlier. My name is Golden Eclair, or Goldie for short. But enough about me. I'll take you to lunch to make up for it." he said. At this point I blushed. Was another stallion asking me out?

Goldie noticed my scarlet cheeks and blushed as well, confusing me even more. Does he like me or does he just want to apologize? Who could tell with guys?


EL is sooooo awkward, its adorable! Awkwardorable? No idea, but I would like for you to comment on future ships. I already know who EL is with but what do you think? Goldlight, LightSpeed (science) or APPlipse ?BTW that sounds like apple-lips.

Now back to the chapter.


"I... um... sure. How about tomorrow at noon? Unless you're busy." I said, trying to squirm out of this awkward moment. He just wrapped his peach colored arm around my neck. He started to walk to some unknown destination, forcing me to walk alongside him. Ponies stared at the two of us and I shrugged him off. Multiple times.

Soon a tall building came into view. The exterior walls were brown with a few different colors of white paint surrounding windows. The roof was pink, with more white paint making square shaped decorations. On top of the roof, a cupcake-shaped pink area with a large candle on top. Outside of the pink door in front was a few life-sized pieces of candy. The sweet aroma of vanilla and chili filled the air. So basically, I was staring at a gingerbread house, like Hoofsel and Gretel. I just hoped there were no changelings in there.

"Welcome to my place," Golden Eclair said cheerfully, "I also work here, so Lunch is on me. Get off Lunch Box!"

A small blue unicorn colt jumped off of the peach stallion, although how he got there will probably be forever unknown. He had a cutie mark of a delivery cart, and his mane and eyes were a chocolatey brown. He turned to me and bowed so low, he fell on his face. I helped Lunch Box get to his hooves, and I told him, "There's no need to be so formal. I live here now." He smiled and wrapped himself around my front legs.

"He won't come off for a while, not even if you use magic. I learned that the hard way." a yellow earth pony said in front of me. She had a beauty mark on one side of her face, and her wavy hair reminded me of Solar Eclipse's favorite dessert, cherry sundae with cherry sauce on top. I looked to the side a little and saw her cutie mark, a two-shaded cherry. She had piercing green eyes, which made her look perfect. The mare brushed a stand of hair behind a gold headband with more cherries on them.

"Momma, you know how ah' am with new ponies." Lunch whined.

"Don't make me call your father here. And you still need to deliver these here pies to Apploosa. Your sister's waiting for you anyways, and you know how she is with being late. Hi Goldie." she added.

"Hey Cherry Jubilee." my companion said.

Lunch Box detached himself from me and dragged a cart resembling his cutie mark out the pink door. "Bye Princess!" he waved to me and galloped in the direction of a train station.

Golden Eclair guided me into the gingerbread house, with Cherry Jubilee following us. "Take a seat,madam. Pumpkin will be here in a moment." Goldie said in a ridiculous Trottingham accent.

"Why, thank you, kind sir." I said in an accent matching his. We both laughed hard enough to startle the couple behind us.

"Hi. Can I take your order?" a dandelion-colored unicorn asked me. She had a black streak in her orange mane, and her cutie mark was that of a jack-o-lantern. She gave me a blue menu, with the words Sugar Cube Corner on the front.

I lifted the menu so I could read it better and a certain option caught my eye. "Can I have the Magic of Burgers and Fries thing?"

Everything around me froze for a moment, except Goldie. I screamed loud enough to shatter the cup of the mare behind me, but cracks just formed on the glass surface. "Hold up, how are you-"

"Burgers and fries coming right up." Pumpkin Cake said, then put a lollipop in her mouth.

The cup exploded and the couple ducked. I immediately surrounded the shards with a gray bubble of magic.

"Your burgers?" Pumpkin said and put the tray on the table, almost completely oblivious to the nearly harmful cup. Then she took them into her own magical grasp.

"What was that?" Golden Eclair asked, before collapsing like a rag doll.


Well that just happened. I thought of this as I typed so I don't know what will happens next yet. YET!
