A fanfic - Sweet Sugar Sassafras Sponge Socks!

[yayayayayala 1,668]

"Hey Rarity!! Boy, have I got a surprise for you!!!"

 

Rarity jumped as the door shot open so violently, it crashed loudly against the wall and almost flew off its hinges. An all-too-familiar pink mare boinged into Carousel Boutique with an unnaturally wide smile distorting her lower face as the door banged shut behind her. Oh no, thought the unicorn in exasperation. This can't be good.

 

Whenever Pinkie had a surprise, it never turned out as awesome as she thought it was going to be. For example, one time she decided on an especially hot summer day to take everypony to the beach. Two stiflingly roasting hours later, Rarity was borne home unconscious from heatstroke on Spike's back (he refused to let anyone else carry her, or even help!), poor Twilight Sparkle had a raging fever for two whole days, Applejack couldn't work for her all-over sunburn-to-rival-all-sunburns, and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's delicate wing feathers were damaged from laying on the hot sand. Only Pinkie wasn't affected. (Nopony knew why.)

 

Needless to say, they never went to the beach again that summer.

 

And there were countless other "surprises" that went terribly wrong - Rarity remembered them all in an instant, and couldn't suppress a nervous meep. What in Equestria could Pinkie have planned now?

 

"You're gonna LOVE this!" the pink pony cried, excitedly bouncing up and down beside her friend.

 

I hope so, thought the purple-maned mare apprehensively.

 

Pinkie stopped bouncing, which was odd of her, and leaned in reeeeally close to the white unicorn as though what she had to share was confidential and demanded the utmost secrecy. Her blue eyes narrowed with anticipation as she took a deep breath, putting her mouth up to Rarity's ear.

 

"I have an idea for a new design..." she whispered.

 

Rarity pulled back, her eyes wide, her mouth open. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY??" she squeaked.

 

Pinkie nodded, grinning widely. "Yup! I've got an idea I think you'll just adore!"

 

The fashionista groaned inwardly. "What is it, dear?"

 

The party-loving mare smiled. "Oh, it isn't much. It's just sweet sugar sassafras sponge socks."

 

Complete silence in the dress shop followed that announcement. At last, after about two full minutes, during which Pinkie gazed at her friend expectantly and Rarity couldn't find anything to say - anything at all! - she finally managed a response. It was probably the most common single-word answer in Equestria.

 

"What!?"

 

"Yeah! Sweet sugar sassafras sponge socks! That are actually edible!"

 

At this new claim, the mare with the dark blue eyes started. "EDIBLE??! Why, dear, how in Equestria are we supposed to do that?" But Pinkie interrupted her.

 

"And they're also orange. Wait." Her carnation-colored brow furrowed in confusion. "What is sassafras anyway?"

 

Rarity blinked. "Do you mean to say," she began hesitatingly, "that you came up with an idea you're not even sure about!?"

 

Pinkie seemed not to notice the other's voice getting a touch shrill at that last, or if she did, she pretended not to. "Yup!" she declared brightly, then turned and trotted towards the door. "Time to go ask Twilight what sassafras is!"

 

The pink pony had only been gone half a second before Rarity breathed, "Edible sweet sassafras...sponge...sugar socks???? That Pie will be the death of me..."

 

And then she fainted dead away.

great!

Every fanfic including Pinkie must be awesome (except grimdark, I can´t stand grimdark this much), but this is so completely random, I just went full .

You have wonderful expressive writing, I can imagine every little detail, facial expression, reaction in my mind by just reading it.

I have no idea what sassafras was, a tree? a leaf? whatever, it sounds cool!

Haha Thanks! And here's the Wikipedia page for sassafras http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sassafras

I'm glad you like my writing! I've been writing for a while now, at least a few years! My first story was The Little Red Dragon and it was terrible compared to now XD (I've actually tried to rewrite it but I haven't been able to for some reason! Oh well...) But yeah LOL!
