Taco Quest
Taco Quest is an My Little Pony: Equestria Girls fanfiction written by MrAskAPirate. The story can be found here.
It's been barely two hours since the Battle of the Bands, and the Dazzlings are furious over the loss of their powers. In an attempt to cheer them up after she gets thrown out of their hideout, Sonata decides to go out for food after discovering a Special for free tacos, and later gets Pinkie Pie's willing assistance in this regard.
How much trouble can a magic-less Siren and one of Canterlot High's saviors possibly cause just by trying to get a snack at Taco Bell?
How much, indeed?
The story has not been updated since July 18, 2015.
Taco Quest provides examples of:
- Hero Antagonist: Shining Armor, the police officer dead-set on catching Pinkie and Sonata after his car is accidentally damaged.
- How We Got Here: The story wastes little time indicating that Sonata and Pinkie never got the tacos they wanted, instead showing them in a jail cell. Of course, the fun is how they got there to begin with.
- Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: With a few exceptions, most of the chapter titles are derived from slogans used by assorted fast food chains.
- Nice Guy: Shining Armor. Despite getting enthusiastically swarmed by a group of nerds when he tries to catch Pinkie and Sonata, he lets them off with a warning (and an invitation to join his Oubliettes and Ogres circle once they apologize).
- Tempting Fate:
- Early in the story, Pinkie encourages Sonata by saying that they'll get their tacos or get thrown in jail trying. Nine hours later...
- After several altercations with Pinkie, Shining Armor muses while getting ready to investigate a routine noise complaint that it was likely he wouldn't be crossing paths with her again that night.
