With no immediate princess or headmare duties to deal with, Twilight Sparkle baked cookies with a new ingredient she had invented. To Eric Reed's misfortune, Twilight asked him to be her victim taste-tester.
Eric would normally be happy to help, but the cookies' smell made him – and his stomach – want to take an indefinite rain check.
Unfortunately for Eric, with Twilight being Twilight and having her pseudo-scientist hat on, declining to eat up would be ineffective for curing his sudden "Persistent Alicorn Syndrome."
But fortunately for him, five words would turn the situation on its head.
This story is one of a series of stories that all take place after A Giant Adventure to Equestria. However, it is not necessary to read any of them to understand this story, but "A Giant Adventure to Equestria" does show how and why the human OC Eric Reed is in Equestria.
If you enjoy this story and would be interested in reading any of the other stories with Eric, you can find the list of all current ones here.
That was a very funny Chapter.
Keep up the good work.
If even the dragon won't eat it then that should tell you something.🤢🤮🤮☠️🧟

That's right! Spike ate those horrible muffins from the beginning of the show like they were candy!
I
wantNEED a sequel where Eric goes off to find Starlight!11194853
Thanks!

Or it would have if Twi figured out that Spike lied about Rarity and he just wanted to get out of sampling those cookies
11195164
I actually forgot about that! Spike's not wanting to eat Twi's cookies is even funner now

it was something I started considering when I was close to fully editing this story. I'm not sure at the moment, but I might add that in a bonus chapter, especially if others would want to see it too.
I'd like to see Starlight try 1 of Twilight's so-called "delicious" cookies, maybe even Spike too. It could be a nice, little bonus chapter.
Nice story by the way. Seems Twilight needs to work on her cooking skills.
I don't pay much attention to sports, but isn't 3-2 called a full count?
11196102
Glad you enjoyed the story! To be fair to Twilight, her actual cooking skills are generally decent even if Spike outclasses her, but it was that ingredient she made up that ruined the cookies' taste. Maybe Bookhorse would get it right next time
I'm giving heavy thought to writing a bonus chapter, and right now, I'm leaning toward doing it. If I do, I'll make a blog about it and would likely be out in a week or two if I do.
11196106
It is. 3-2 counts can be called full counts interchangeably.
11196225
That's good.

'.
Buggie should advise using that batch of "cookies" for target practice..... 'with a 44 Magnum....most powerful handgun in the world...
11196237
That could be a sight
Guns don't really a thing in Equestria, but a sight nonetheless if Eric could get his hands on a .44 Magnum.
Good stuff as always. I hope you put out another chapter or two to this
11196481
Glad you enjoyed the story, and a bonus chapter will be coming!

his stomate must be made of scrap iron
That plot twist at the end made me laugh out loud! Great job!
I'd like to have one of those cookies. Seriously, I want to try my stomach.
11206024
Now I wonder if someone wrote a version of this story with Sci-Twi, but with either their OC(s) or canon characters in Eric's place.
And I think saying Spike's stomach is made of scrap iron might be an understatement.
11206045
Glad you liked that little twist at the end!
11206189
Unless you're a dragon, I wouldn't recommend it those cookies existed in our world.
The effort for lore accurate baseball knowledge tickles me, good research
Saw it coming the moment Spike entered. I haven't read the first story in the series but I can say one thing for certain. Eric definitely hasn't memorized episode 3.
11274508
Eric probably did forget Spike showing off his stomach power in episode 3 of season 1, especially because he hasn't seen the show in over a year, for obvious reasons.
11276885
Lucky for Eric, it didn't take too much brainpower to not want to eat Twilight's cookies with how bad they smelt, but it did take some nerve and guts to try to force Twi into eating a cookie.
Spike enjoyed the baked bad's so much he dug them out the trash to eat them. So these cookies would be just another oddity in being Spike. Loved the chapter though keep being awesome.
11560278
It was once he finally ate one of Twilight's cookies and became their first and only fan
Glad you enjoyed this story!
Safe to say, Eric was a moron for even thinking that...
11878505
Well to be fair, it is something Starlight probably would have done if she didn't predict that Eric would have expected it to stay a step ahead of him.
