"There. My shit is done for today. I can go home. Rest and just... detox for while. No more Lyler. No more-"

Those are the last words you said before you were mercilessly glomped by a horse. Lyler leaps upon your leg and clings for dear life. You look down at the horse, how stares up at you in pure, unadulterated excitement.

"ANERN. WE GOTSTA GET CHICK TENDIES!" Lyler yells in the only way she knows how.

You shake your leg, and not as in the colloquialism to hurry up. Rather, you do your best to get this fucking horse off your leg.

"We're going to the supermarket, Anon. You're coming," says Lyra flatly. "We can actually afford groceries now."

"Why the fuck do I have to come?" you ask. It's a pretty reasonable question, in your opinion.

"YOU'RE A PLENTY GOOD FELLA!" says Lyler.

"You keep Lyler from attacking random people in broad daylight. Can you imagine what she's like in a cereal aisle?" Lyra responds, as if her sister never screamed.

You place a hand over your face.

"Goddamnit. I just want to go home and cry myself to sleep, like every other night."

"BUT TENDIE QUEST, ANERN!" Lyler yells.

"I'll make it worth your while," Lyra says.

You look down to the seafoam green horses. From Lyler's overexcitable... everything, to Lyra's unreadable expression.

"Sexual favors?" you ask Lyra.

"Don't make this weird, Anon," she says.

"DON'T BE GROSS, ANERN."

"FUCKIN. THIS?! THIS IS THE FUCKING GROSSEST THING THAT WE'VE DONE?! A FUCKING- No. Never mind. I'm just going to regret it," you say, resigning yourself to your fate. "Fine. Let's go to the store."

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" Lyler screams.

You follow Lyra throughout town as Lyler continues to cling to your legs and gently hump you. At this point, this is the least surprising thing you've had to deal with so far. Now you're going to have to deal with Lyler in a supermarket, which is going to be it's own special level of hell.

When you get outside the super market, you grab a cart. Then Lyler hops in it. You open your mouth to Protest, but Lyra holds up a hoof, indicating it's better to not even bother. Instead, she grabs a second cart and the two of you enter the store.

Grocery stores in Equestria aren't too much different from the ones you've experienced on Earth, with the exception of the lack of a butcher in most areas. Some areas closer to carnivorous populations, such as Diamond Dog societies or Yaks, have a butcher or at least some frozen meats, otherwise, those are things you have to pick up from pet stores. Luckily for you, there's a Diamond Dog society that's not too far away from Ponyville, so this particular Ponyville store keeps some basic meats in their freezers.

This of course then brings up the topic that ate you alive for over a month in Ponyville. Ponies and meat. Horses don't eat meat. These fucking ponies never seem to shock you though. They are able to eat meat. They don't typically enjoy it though, because of their aversion to hurting animals. And it doesn't give them very many nutrients. The fucking point is, Lyler is fucking weird, and eats chicken tenders. Alright? Are we okay now? Alright? Alright.

You lean against the shopping cart, sighing to yourself as you follow Lyra through the store. And where better to start than the produce. You set your eyes on a basket of local Sweet Apple Acres apples when you spy something out of the corner of your eye.

Is that... is that Rainbow Dash? Oh yeah. It definitely is. And.

Oh fuck she has-

"RAAAINNN BOOOMMMMMMM!" Lyler screams, leaping out of the cart and into a heap on the dirty linoleum.

The rainbow monstrosity turns to Lyler, and Rainbow Dash gasps once she sees you. Before the poor pegasus can react, Rainbom pushes the whole shopping cart over, spilling the contents onto the floor and ruining most of the goods.

"LYYYLEERRRRRRR! I LOOVEE YOUUU" Rainbom sings as she charges.

"DO YOU HAVE POTATO?!" Lyler says as she rises to her hooves and leaps towards the malformed sister of Rainbow Dash.

"I HAVE SEVEN POTATO!"

The two lock themselves in each other's embrace as if the two hadn't seen each other in years, despite having to endure one of their play dates yesterday. You'd feel slightly touched, but Lyler dug her head into the sandbox, and Rainbom thought she died. When she came back out, they did the same thing again, and traumatized Snips and Snails. While you're thinking of it, you should ask Snail's mom when he's getting that cast off.

You walk up to the forbidden love and pry the two apart, dragging Lyler back to her own story and universe.

"Alright you two. Come on, we have to keep going or else this will never end."

"WE RIDE AT DAWN! BRING POTATO!" Lyler says.

You lift Lyler up like a cat and dump her into the shopping cart, and rejoin Lyra over by the carrots.
