//------------------------------// // Love is Painful Part 1 // Story: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Cheesecake // by Master Cheese Cake //------------------------------// My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Episode 5: Love is Painful Part 1 By Master Cheese Cake It had only been thirty minutes since the hide and seeks the ponies game ended. Cheese Cake was in his bakery where he was making his Apple Legendary Cheesecake Sunrise Cider. He checks up on his cheesecake and it was close to being done, so he took it out of the oven to let it cool. He opens his cupboard to grab a container of sprinkles and sprinkles the center of the cake and then takes his other decorating accessories and adds them on to the top of the cake in a nice fashionable order. Two hours later… Cheese Cake opens the refrigerator and pulls out his cheesecake to sniff it. He slowly places his head of the counter top to observe the cheesecake's surface to see if there were any impurities on it. Then after five minutes of cutting the cheesecake for the party he's hosting for the others, he sets out to go retrieve the others to party. Seventy minutes later… Everyone was having a great time with the music soothingly flowing through the room. Everypony has gotten to taste the cake and they all loved it especially Rarity. "Cheese Cake my dear that Apple Legendary Cheesecake Sunrise Cider is absolutely delicious." "Thanks for the compliment. Oh I was wondering if you can fix up my cape, it got a rip through it." "Why of course. I can fix this up by tomorrow, so come by and pick it up… um say around eight in the morning." "That sounds like a great time for me to drop by." "Alrighty then, see you tomorrow." Cheese Cake begins to clean his house of plates and washing them till they were sparkly clean. Then he took his time to get ready for bed. The next day… Cheese Cake rises from his bed and puts on his classic attire to work. He unlocks the door and crash. Pinkie hops right through the door and tackles him to the ground. "Ow Pinkie, what are you doing here so early?" "Well I really needed a cheesecake made?" "Okay what flavor?" "I need five strawberry cheesecakes please." "Uh… don't you think five is a little too much?" "No I think it the right amount of time… I mean right amount of for my party." "If you're sure then, five strawberry cheesecakes coming up." Cheese Cake went into over drive mode and made the batter, smashes the vanilla crackers to place as a platform for the batter, repeats this five times, and finally places all of them into the oven. "Wow, you're so good at this." "Well yeah I mean I've been doing this for like two months." "Now just wondering are you in love with anyone right now?" "Well… no." "I would like to get you know way better and I think we'd make the perfect couple." "Oh look at that the cheesecakes need to be refrigerated… be right back." Cheese Cake removes the cheesecakes from the oven and put them in the refrigerator. "I have to go right now Pinkie to pick up my cape you can stay till I get back." "Okay, I'll wait for you even if it takes years." Cheese Cake continues out his bakery and to Rarity's Boutique. The more he thought about it the more he realized something different about Pinkie just then, she seemed normal, too normal, but he ignored it. "Alright cape, your dad is here to pick you up." He enters the boutique to find Rarity sitting on the floor staring at him menacingly. "Where have you been?" "What do you me…" "I was waiting for you and you come here late. (But) What were you doing, huh? Were you cheating on me? (Wait what?)I cannot believe you would do this to us, we had a great relationship together and you destroyed it. I think we can still make this work if you listen to me once and get a mane cut. You know what I'll do it myself." Cheese Cake begins to back away from Rarity as she uses her powers to pick up the scissors, "Oh hooves, Rarity put down the floating scissors… Rarity no, no, no, no, I really hate floating scissors." Cheese Cake manages to get past her and dives into her bedroom and slams the door, pressing his back against it." "Whew that was a close call," Then the scissor impales the door and just above his mane, skimming the top of his mane. "Huh not that bad." Then another set of scissors impale the door. Cheese Cake quickly surveys the room to look for an escape route. There it was the window, he dashes and jumps through the window. Not knowing there would be a fall he crashes. "Maybe I should look next time before I jump," he speaks with himself. He recovers and is confronted by Rainbow Dash, "Hey Cheese Cake how's it going?" "Something is weird is going on." "Oh and what's that?" "Rarity she has floating scissors, FLOATING SCISSORS! She also thinks that we were boyfriend and girlfriend." "What that ridiculous? Everyone knows me and you are together." "I know, say what now?" "Oh, what are we doing here when you're hurt from that fall? Let's go to my house, so I can give you a nice, relaxing cloud message." She takes his hooves and in a flash they were already at her house in the sky. She set him down on a cloud and surprisingly he didn't fall right through it. Cheese Cake was amazed at this, "What… how, how am I standing on this cloud?" "I asked Twilight to charm that area this morning, so you're safe from falling to a horrible death. I'll be right back with the clouds to give you that nice message," she explains as she leaves the room. Cheese Cake couldn't believe this, "Wait Cheese Cake you must be dreaming. Alright you're going to count to three and you're going to wake up. One… two… three… alright this means this is not a dream, but I need to get to the bottom of this. Stay here with Rainbow Dash to get a message and might have her go crazy like Rarity or go figure out what's going on. I'm going to take my chances with gravity." Then he takes a leap out off of the one cloud he can stand on and falls toward the Earth. "I really need to start thinking things throoough." The ground got closer to him and then all of a sudden the ground stops getting closer. He could feel hooves on his hind legs; he turns his head upward to find Fluttershy's face and it was not a happy one. "Hi Fluttershy, thanks for the catch… ow," he blesses as he is let go. "How could you go out with another pegasus pony?" Cheese Cake takes off towards Ponyville, "Sorry Fluttershy, but I have to go back to Ponyville." "I really need to work on being more assertive," Fluttershy chats with herself walking back to her cottage in sadness. Back in Ponyville… Applejack was going around the town asking if they've seen Cheese Cake and finally she got what she wanted. She jumps in front of the colt, "Howdy Cheese Cake…" Cheese Cake couldn't slow down fast enough, "Why would you jumps in front of me?" "Sorry it's just that I've been looking for you all day and I just wanted to see if you'd like to go on a picnic with me." "Like a date?" "Yeah sorta." "I'm really sorry, but I need to do something." "Okay then, how bout later." Cheese Cake enters his bakery and jumps over the counter into the kitchen to search for something in the cupboard. "Hey Cheese Cake," Pinkie greets from the same spot she was in ten minutes ago. Cheese Cake tearing his way through the ingredients he uses to make his cheesecake, "Hi Pinkie, sorry can't talk right now I need to find something." "Oh maybe I can help you." "Ah ha I found it." It was the sprinkles he used on his Apple Legendary Cheesecake Sunrise Cider. He places it on the table and tries to find the name of the ingredients that it was created with. "Let see here… which one was it?" "Which one's what?" "I'm looking for the ingredient that is making you guys fall in love with me." "I can't remember and now I have to go to Twilight for a book on these ingredients." "Oh okay, are you sure, I mean that you could fall in love with her." "Don't worry." Cheese Cake takes the container and moves quick to the library. He knew he was going to regret knocking on the door, but it had to be done. *Knock knock* The door flies open and he gets pulled inside. He is pinned to the wall and Twilight in his face. "Hello Cheese Cake," she says with a seductive voice. "I'd like to see one of your books on love ingredients." "How ironic is th…" Pinkie busts through the door, "Stay away from my colt!" "No, he is my colt!" Then Pinkie tackles Twilight and causes a skirmish between the two. Cheese Cake now has a chance to get the book; he quickly searches for this was getting out of hooves. He finds it under the L section and looks through it and compares it to the containers information. "Alright the Luv Plant used to make Luv Sprinkles and other Luv products. It is recommended that it is used with two already in love creature to help the two fall in love without nervousness of admittance. They really need to put this information on the bottles. (He's mine Pinkie.) Let see… no… no… and no. (No he's mine.)Here you are the only cure for this is the Vul Plant which can only be found on Very Dangerous Mountain, it is very dangerous to climb and retrieve this plant." Cheese Cake leaves the tree to recover his top hat and his cape. Then he looks down the road that leads to Very Dangerous Mountain and begins on a great journey to help his friend.
