Description
The next morning, Bubble Lee packed up her adventure bag and head downstairs to go meet up with Wally at a predesignated spot, only to be stopped by her mother, Kiwi Breeze.Kiwi: Bubble, honey, where are you heading off too?
Bubble: *freezes in mid skip* I'm.. uh.. going to go hang out with Wally today.
Kiwi: *ears perk* Oh, since you are going out, can you run an errand for me? *holding up a bag full of food and baking supplies*
Bubble: *groans and sigh* I'm kind of in a hurry, Mom...
Kiwi: *chuckles* Yes, yes, I'm sure you are. This won't take long. I just need you to stop by Grandma's house and drop off his bag for me. Can you do that for me, sweetheart?
Bubble: *looks at the bag* ... Yeah, I can do that.
Kiwi: *hands the bag to Bubble and kisses her forehead* Now be careful with this, there are eggs in there. And have fun with Wally today!
Bubble: Will do. Cya, Mom! *before heading out the door, carrying the bag extra carefully*
It didn't take long for Bubble to make it to the other side of town to her grandmother's house. With her hands full of bags, she kicked the door with her hoof to announce her presence. After a little bit the door was open by an elderly pegasus with white streaks in her mane .
Willow: Bubbly Bubble Lee, what a pleasant surprise. *smiles sweetly*
Bubble: *grins* Hey Grandma! Mom wanted me to give this to you. But I'm kind of in a hurry so I can't stay too long. *holding up the heavy bag*
Willow: *peaks and inside and smile* Ooh yes, thank you sweetheart. Why don't you come inside and set them on the kitchen table. I'm baking some Snickerdoodles today.
Bubble: *walks inside and sets the bag on the table, letting out a sigh* Phew~ Ooooh! Those are my favorite! Your cookies are always the best, grandma! *pauses, thinking how she needs to go meet up with Wally*
Willow: *chuckles softly as she starts unpacking the bag of cooking supplies, checking the eggs to make sure they weren't cracked* Mmhmmm. That's because I put in a secret ingredient in every batch.
Bubble: *ears perk* What's that? It can't be the eggs.
Willow: *smiles* No no, not the eggs.
Bubble: *scratches her cheek* Is it the "sin-na-nen"? *before looking through the bag for hints*
Willow: *chuckles* Not cinnamon. *leans in and kisses Bubble on the forehead* It's Love.
Bubble: *ears perk, eyes wide and a light bulb goes off* Love? You can bake cookies with Love in them?? *remembering how Imago said that she feeds on love *
Willow: *Nods* Maybe when you aren't so busy, I can show you sometime. *as she started putting on her apron*
Bubble: .... *pauses* Actually, I'm not that busy right now.. It can wait for a couple of hours. If.. uh... you need some help baking that is.. >.>
Willow: *looks over at Bubble and tilts her head, a somewhat amused smile on her face* I'd love the help.
After tying back their hair and washing their hands, they put on some aprons and started preparation. With Willow's gentle guidance, Bubble combined the ingredients and mixed them together in the bowl. Willow watched as Bubble worked diligently and surprisingly focused on her task, for how hyper active the filly normally is.
Bubble: *continues mixing the batter together* When do we add the secret ingredient in Grandma? These seem like normal cookies to me... *sounding a bit disappointed*
Willow: *rubs Bubble's back as she worked* You already are, child. When you put your heart into your work, not matter what you do, whether that be baking a cake or drawing a picture for someone, you are putting a bit of you into everything you make.
Bubble: *ear twitches* A bit of me? But I don't want her-- er... ANYPONY eating me! *shivers* What about the Love?
Willow: *covers her mouth and snickers* Not physically you, more like.. *thinks for a moment, before smiling* When you do something kind for someone else, you are giving them a piece of yourself. Whether that is physical or just a simple kind gesture, like opening up the door for someone or lending a helping hand.
Bubble: *pauses* I guess.. But what does that do with Love? *making a pouty face*
Willow: That is Love, silly filly. Putting yourself before others, doing a kindness with no expectation of any reward. Making something for someone you care. Like baking cookies for example~
Bubble: *looks down at her bowl of batter* So.. because I'm making these for someone, mean I'm putting Love into it?
Willow: *nods* With every sprinkle of sugar and stir of your spoon. *looks over Bubble's shoulder* I say that's good enough. Lets roll it out and cut them out. *holds up a few different shaped cookie cutters* What shape should we make these cookies?
Bubble: Hmm, the heart one! That way the love is Double as potent!
Willow: *grins* Wonderful choice, dear.
After cutting the cookies out and setting them on a sheet, they were placed in the oven to bake. Bubble watched the oven intently, watching how the sugar and cinnamon glistened through the little window. It didn't take long for the whole house to be filled with the mouth-watering scent of freshly baked cookies. After they were taken out and cooled, Willow helped pack a box filled with cookies for Bubble to take with her. Around that time, there was a knock on the front door. Bubble went over and opened it, revealing her curly haired friend, Wally.
Wally: *wheezes and coughs* B-bubble.. I was looking for you EVERYWHERE! You never met up with me like you promised!
Bubble: *ears fold back* Sorry, Wally. I got distracted...
Wally: *huffs and looks down at the package of cookies in Bubble's hands* I can tell! What are you doing baking cookies? ............ are those Snickerdoodles? *licking his lips*
Bubble: *hands Wally a heart shaped cookie* These aren't just ANY cookies. They are made with Love!
Wally: *takes a bite, his ears perking* L-love?! How did you manage to do that?
Bubble: *puffs her chest out and grins* Because I'm amazing, obviously! I'll explain on the way! *turns toward Willow* Bye Grandma! Thanks for the cookies!!
Willow: *smiles and waves* Be safe out there, you two.
As Bubble and Wally made their way out of the house, they ran past the town's hippogriff paper boy delivering the morning paper.
Bubble: 'Scuse me! *as she and Wally ran in the direction of the woods*
Bucky: Hehe, cute kids. 'Ey there Miss Willow! I got your morning paper here-- Is that Snickerdoodles I smell? *purrs*
Willow: *chuckles* I just made a fresh batch. Would you like one, dear?
Bucky: You bet my dewclaw I do! *as he made his way inside to the kitchen* I haven't had breakfast yet, I've been so busy this morning!
Willow: Oh goodness, then maybe you should have a couple. *bringing the tray of cookies and setting them on the kitchen table for easier access* What's got a young colt like you all worked up for?
Bucky: *takes a cookie and takes a bite* Oooooh~ These are fantastic!
Willow: *tilts head and looks concerned* Canterlot? What happen?
Bucky: *shoves the rest of the cookie in his beak while pulling out a newspaper and unrolling it, laying it in front of Willow* Tae a 'ook fah 'oothelf. *spitting out crumbs as he spoke*
The newpaper's front page headline read out in a big bold font:
ATTACK ON CANTERLOT. MONSTERS LIVE AMONG US.
With a photograph of swarms of insect like Equine-like creatures filling the skies and chasing terrified citizens through the streets of Canterlot. Willow gasped, putting her hand on her mouth as she picked up the paper and started reading.
Bucky: *swallowed and reached for a second cookie* Scary lookin' freaks, aren't they? Apparently they are called "Changelings" And they have this dark voodoo like power that can make them transform into anybody. Even a Princess!
Willow: T-that's just awful! Why would they do such a thing? We've been at peace for decades...
Bucky: I don't know. Some say that they were trying to over throw the Princesses and take over Equestria... Other's say they were collecting bodies for some sacrificial mumbo-jumbo dark magic stuff. Me.. *taking a bite of his cookie* I say they are just pure evil.
Willow: *looks up disapprovingly at the young hippogriff* "Evil" is a strong word to use, Mr Beak. Especially since you don't know all the circumstances yet..
Bucky: *snorts* Oh yeah? I say I'm being awfully generous. I mean look at them! They look like they are straight out of a horror film!
Willow: *grimaces* You can't judge a pony on by how they look--
Bucky: *waves his claw* Yeah yeah I know, but here is the real kicker.. These changelings, they feed of your life energy! Draining ponies dry and leaving them as husks... And their favorite flavor is Love.
Willow: *ears perk and stare* .....
Bucky: Sure we've had Sirens and Windigos that feed off Hate and Malice..... But how can you ever consider a creature that feeds off Love not pure evil? *before finishing off his heart shaped cookie*

I'm glad you like my story so far! I hadn't plan on posting on FimFiction, I feel my writing isn't that good yet, but if more people keep expressing interest, I just might do that ^^
But thank you!

I guarantee you that there are all levels of writing ability on FimFiction. Β Your level is just fine, and you are starting an obviously deep storyline, which is always intriguing. Β
Add to that awesome artwork every chapter, you have have a winner!
BTW, some authors wait years between chapters, so don't feel like you have to churn out something every week if you decide to go that route.
