Pinkie Pie finally gets a promotion as the Cakes struggle to make ends meet in this hustle and bustle universe.


Written for Sci-fi Contest 2.

Chapters (4)
Comments ( 5 )

Ponified "Legend of John Henry" but the writing is very good. Best of luck in the contest.

"Hey look at this dear. Several restaurants including Donut Joe's are now doing a home delivery option. Delicious freshly prepared food, right at your doorstep."

ooh, topical!

"You'll be handling our food deliveries. Think you can handle it?"

Pinkie’s bubble immediately popped. “Focus Pinkie, you can’t let the Cakes know you’re slightly disappointed. Just think of lollipops and rainbows. Lollipops and rainbows.”

and oof, very understandable. that’s no promotion at all, Cakes!

“Yepperoni. This nifty headband thingy will be tracking where I go and ensuring that customers know where the food is at all times. I then deliver the food to the destination which is conveniently written on the receipt on the box. Easy-peasy.”

hehe, the Equestria analogue of our delivery apps!

“Appreciate that. Fight the good fight for all of us delivery ponies. Speaking of deliveries, can I have my donuts?”

aww so true, they are both deliverymares now

“A gift from me to you. We gotta support each other, you know.”

Pinkie wrapped her forelegs around Derpy. It sure felt nice to have another pony have her back against the machines.

aww!

“Pinkie. I understand your concerns. There’s a popular model called the General Pony Taskmaster Mark Four. It’s very expensive to rent however. Mrs. Cake and I simply don’t have that kind of money these days to get one. It was far cheaper to get the crystal tracking system and rely on you to transport deliveries.”

i gotta say, “you only have your job because you cost less than a robot” is uh, not a great thing to hear lol

Twilight face-hoofed. Twilight sighed thinking to herself, “Best to do here is to just indulge her for now. What’s the worst thing that could happen?

oh Twilight, at this point you really should know better!

aww, take that, robo-pony that didn’t even know it was in some sort of competition! a very cute story that  is certainly fiction based on the reaction of ponies to changes in science and technology. thank you for writing!
