please read my story " the moon rises up" before reading this.

I woke up (for real this time) screaming. But I was not in my room. I was in... Was this Canterlot?

"Jeepers! Last time I woke up in the library, and I thought that was weird." I rubbed my head.

I walked through the streets. I found a clock and it was four thirty in the morning.

As I continue to walk, a sweet aroma hit my nose. Sugar, dough, chocolate! That was the most I could come to appreciate here, besides my new friends.

" Well, I hope they are my friends." I sigh as I start to follow the smell.

I walk into a open doughnut shop and for sure, this was the smell. A unicorn stallion wearing a apron and a small white hat with a woodsy colored main and a tan coat stood behind the counter.

I remember rainbow saying that there was a doughnut shop here in canterlot that rivals Sugur cube corner. The owner was a Joe, I think.

I sit at the bar and the stallion asked. " what can I get you miss-" he stopped when he saw my wings.

" I'm sorry, I didn't know we had a new princess. What is your name?"

" my name is Stellar Cyra, and I am not a princess." I say.

" Oh well, since you are a alicorn, I assumed that you were one. My apologies."

I stood up un the round stool and opened my wings. "do these look like princess wings?"

He looked at my purple plumage " not really, but hey you have wings and a horn."

I sit back down. " I guess I have that going for me." I sigh.

" So what will it be?" He asked.

" Do you have a special?" I ask.

" Mocha pumpkin frappe filled." He said proudly.

" Give me a few of those and some coke." I say.

" will do."

" Thanks-" I dicided to put I my two cents " donuts Joe."

" Only ponies who know me call me that." He said.

" I have a friend who speaks highly of your donuts." I say.

" Who is this friend?" He askes as he pulls a Batch of donuts from a oven.

" Pinkie Pie." I say, thinking of the bright pink pony.

" Oh, the Pink. Yep, I know her. You could never forget that mare."

" Yep." I agree.

He sets a plate of donuts and the drink in front of me. They smelled like heaven. I bit into the softness and my taste buds tingled. I moaned in approval.

" Mmhh. This is really really good. Not to much mocha, and you can taste the pumpkin."

" Thanks, family recipe. So, what are you doing so far away from ponyville at this time?"

" Um... Well, I had nothing better to do." I said.

" Well, you are up early." Joe said.

" That's just me." I lied.

" Okay then. So, tell me about yourself, Stellar Cyra." Joe said.

" What do you want to know?"

" Let's start with where are you from." Joe stated.

" The moon."

" Beg pardon?"

" I was created on the moon."

" Can you explain that to me?" He asked.

" I assume that you know the story of nightmare moon." I say, and he nods.

" Well, on the night she was banished, she use up a lot of magic to create me. And five hundred years later, she created my sister, Meta-burn." I made a picture of all my sisters and I appear. I pointed to the orange Pegasus.

" She has some large wings." Joe pointed out.

" Yeah, that was just some extra power."

He squinted at the photo. "None of you have a cutie mark."

" That is a mystery to everyone." I say sadly.

" Oh, sorry."

". It's fine." I say, finishing of the last of my donuts and soda.

I look out and i see the sun rising. "I guess I'm should be heading back."

I pull out a sack of bits and put fifteen on the counter." It was nice to meet you."

" You too." He said as he counts the coins.

I open the door. "Wait!" Joe call to me. " I only needed eight."

I turn to the unicorn and smile. " just keep it. The donuts were worth it."
