This choice: A small cafe I know, to get you outside • Go Back...Chapter #6A small cafe I know, to get you outside by: Therealfake   "A...cafe?" Luna said slowly, sounding out the word as she heard herself. Celestia sighed. Luna hadn't even grasped what the word "fun" meant, since it had only been invented some 300+ years ago. Once again, Celestia reminded herself one of the first books she would place in front of Luna would be a contemporary encyclopedia.
"Yes, a cafe. It's a small eatery with snacks that serves warm beverages, like tea, cocoa and coffee and treats like pastries...brownies, cupcakes...tarts...strudel...cake..."
Celestia drifted off as visions of all those pastries swam in her head. Luna had to tap her front hoof on the floor loudly to get Celestia to shake it off. Luna stared and tilted her head back slightly, closing her eyes as she spoke.
"Very well then. Show us this "cafe" of which thou speaks." Luna said, hiding some interest in her voice.
--------
On the outskirts of Ponyville, by a small dandelion field just opposite of the road, was a nondescript cafe known to only a few choice ponies. The drinks were warm and the snacks were sublime. Everything served inside was made from scratch using homemade recipes and even using techniques, ovens and...basically everything used in making their food and drinks had been passed down from generation to generation, of course repaired or retouched when necessary while whoever was taking the wheel for the appropriate ownership adding their own twists to meet with the changing tastes of contemporary ponies of Ponyville. Celestia look around, admiring the quiet and sunny day while Luna nervously stole glances, worried about how to behave herself in public. She tended to shy away when greeted in the street or even mutter a quiet and nervous "Hello" back as she passed by, trying to smile.
As the sister waited for their afternoon treat to begin, they were presented with two frothing mugs of cocoa on a silver platter, used as a sign of formality by the owners whenever Celestia came to dine or just relax with a drink. Luna eyed the beverage curiously, but relaxed at the enticing sweet smell of hot cocoa combined with a generous dollop of marshmallow fluff floating on top. Celestia drank hers slowly, savoring the taste with the same grace as she did with just about everything. Luna, however, had no idea what to think as her first sip was...incredible. She had never tasted anything of what Equestria now had to offer in terms of sweets and this was just the start! Luna wasted no time in gulping the hot beverage down, fluff stained to the front of her face before licking it off and requesting a refill, using her ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE in her excitement. This at least assured that her request was heard.
As her refill was brought to her, Luna couldn't help but drool inside her mouth as she smelled a plate of warm, fresh fudge brownies brought to her. Just as Celestia picked one up for herself, Luna was essentially sticking her face in the plate and gobbling them up, crumbs flying in different directions and fudge staining her mouth.
"DELICIOUS!" Luna proclaimed, once again forgetting to control her voice. Celestia pulled out some fuzzy pink earphones and put them over her ears before Luna continued. "WE WOULD LIKE TO TRY ONE OF ALL YOUR ESTABLISHMENT'S PASTRIES IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND!"
Luna proclamation brought forth what was seen by many, for her, an obligatory bolt of lightning that stuck dangerously close to somepony's house.
"...I can fix that." Celestia reassured the nearby ponies who witnessed the spectacle.
Celestia sighed as she watched Luna glut herself. When she said one of everything, she wasn't exaggerating. The waiter brought forth one order of each and every sweet treat they had on their menu. Celestia could only stare in awe as Luna somehow packed each bite away, showing no sign of slowing down or even hitting the wall as she made her way through all twelve flavors of the cafe's homemade cheesecake, all nine varieties of dessert pie and 25 different plates of cookies...just to name a few!
The plates stacked tall enough they could reach to Celestia's head if placed on the ground once Luna had finally eaten her fill. The dark Alicorn's belly was absolutely bloated with treats and at least fifteen mugs worth of hot chocolate; her belly was almost as big as the rest of her body! Celestia could only stare, dumbstruck as Luna belched uncharacteristically, her face blushing a light shade of blue as she brought a hoof to hr mouth and shyly excused herself in a quiet voice. Luna cooed in a mix of pleasure and discomfort as she rubbed her hooves on her bloated, stuffed belly, falling out of her seat with a loud THUD while enjoying the feeling of basically turning herself into a food-stuffed balloon.
Celestia sighed as she looked on at what was likely yet another, very unexpected, consequence of 1,000 years of cultural alienation. Food, she admitted, HAD improved much over the past millennium. She looked to the side so no one could see the Princess's fair white face blushing as she remembered how Luna's behavior had not been terribly different from her own whenever a new, delicious foodstuff had been created in the past. Luna moaned, her face tired and lethargic as she picked herself up as best she could, her glutted belly resting against the ground as she decided...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
