"♪Cookies! Cookies! Cookies!!!♫" Pinkie Pie sings with thrill at the tasty goodies;

She dances in the kitchen of Sugarcubed like a ballerina, invested into Hearth's Warming while laughing like a hyena;

She leapt over her pet, an alligator named Gummy. He may look dead, but he's definitely no dummy;

Pinkie pats the gator's head and then bounces off. Gummy falls forward, taking his owner's action as nothing to scoff.

The mare twirls at the oven before opening the door, revealing freshly baked cookies that she truly adore;

She took them in pan, holding these treats over head. She laid them on the counter, not to eat, she had something else planned instead;

With cupcakes displayed on the table as the centerpiece, Pinkie stretched herself and prepares for her masterpiece;

Pinkie washed her hooves, like all good chefs do. It helps to avoid diseases, you don't want to spread the flu;

Pouring cookies in bowl, she then mashed them up. Sprinkling the crumbs on the cupcakes, treating it like their makeup;

'Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes' is what she made. A treat fit for the holiday with negative centigrade.

Suddenly, her ears twitched to a buzzing sound. She couldn't track the source as it was zipping around;

It landed on a cupcake in front of Pinkie Pie, and there she saw none other than a dirty old fly;

She waved her hoof at it and it flew. Glaring at it she yells, "Shoo shoo shoo!"

"Nopony will eat this now." she says sounding fume, she scraps the frosting off and flings it across the room;

Splattered on Gummy's muzzle, the frosting did. Did it fazed him? Never even batted an eyelid;

Pinkie spreads new frosting, giving it one more try. But it lands on it once again, that dirty old fly;

"Oh, a wise fly." she said as her teeth began to grind. The bug rubs its front legs together with wicked intentions in mind;

"Okay, fly boy." Pinkie raises a hoof into the air. She swings down, but the fly dodges, giving it quite a scare;

She smashed the cupcake, accidentally making a mess. Feeling foolish she did, but pursued the fly nonetheless;

Smashing the fly is what she desired, but it eventually escaped when she got tired;

"Get ready, buzzer." she warns the bug she detest, "Cause I'm not going to stop till you're gone, you icky pest."

The insect buzzes about, unaware of its doom. Basking in the warmth of the toasty kitchen room;

As long as there's food and heat, it'll be in active state. It wouldn't need to slow down and hibernate;

It searches from the sky for food to partake, and suddenly spotted and unguarded cupcake;

With agile stealth, it lands on the frosting. Unaware of what it'll be costing;

It takes a bite and a mare yells, "NOW, GUMMY! NOW!!!" The fly's world abruptly went dark, as it was now some gator chow;

Gummy's mouth is where it was stuck, it seemed like the fly just ran out of luck;

Pinkie however was jumping for joy, happy for the results of her pastry decoy;

The mare hugs her pet in a warm embrace, but she soon saw something appearing on his face;

She couldn't believe it, she didn't know how to comply, but coming out of Gummy's nose was that dirty old fly;

The bug took this moment and flew past the mare. She dropped her pet and yelled, "You're not going anywhere."

She chased it, making the floor boards rattle. Until she trap it in a room, where they will do battle;

Pinkie held a candy cane, her bizarre nature was truly diehard. Swinging it like a sword, she yelled the words, "EN GARDE!!"

The fly was getting exhausted through these troubling events. So it spook the mare backwards, falling into a pile of presents;

*rrrrrrrrRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

An odd sound was coming from the pile.

*rrrrrrrrRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

A chainsaw? That's crazy. Have I gone senile?

*rrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*

Pinkie exploded out of the pile, holding an egg mixer. Cranking a gear to make it spin, certain that this was going to be her elixir;

The fly goes higher, out of reach of Pinkie Pie. That didn't stop her, she threw the mixer towards the fly;

It misses, but it didn't stop the pink attacker. She throws at it a block, a sled, and even a nutcracker;

To avoid the debris, the bug flew down low. Pinkie seized this chance, and unleashed the final blow;

Swinging her hoof, she hit the fly with a thwack. It bounced on the floor, and settled on its back;

Pinkie stared at it, waiting for something to occur; but the fly did nothing, it didn't even stir;

She did it, she finally won! And yet she yells out, "What have I done!!!!!!!"

She didn't mean to kill it, it was all overreaction. And yet there it laid, the result of her transaction;

"This must be a joke. Here, I'll show proof!" Pinkie ran out and came back with cupcake in hoof;

She laid it on the ground and pushed it towards the fly; but it didn't react towards it, it didn't even try;

It wasn't working, she didn't know what to do. If only she could go on something, had some kind of clue;

She considered something that might make everything better, so she ran to the closet and pulled out a wool sweater;

The mare rubs herself with the fabric, feeling very epigrammatic. With her mane floated in a spark, she was now completely static;

Jump starting the fly's heart is what she plans to do. She shock the bug body and hope that this idea works through;

......

She tried again, she was competently bewitched. It seemed like it failed when suddenly, it twitched;

"ITS ALIVE!!!!!" the mare screams with glee. She bounces around with joy, that happy pony;

The fly was getting up, feeling its body ache; but soon found its second wind, once it saw the cupcake;

The bug flew on the treat, despite of the presence of Pinkie Pie. The mare saw this and she glared at the dirty old fly;

The fly witnessed the pony approach, expecting another bout; but instead, she sat next to it and said, "Let's work something out."

Later that day, somewhere in the house. You could find a colt, playing with a stuff mouse;

The little one was beating it up, treating it like a bad guy. Unaware of the presence on the wall, it was the fly;

After watching the boy, it took to the air. Flying through the house to Pinkie and spoke to the pink mare;

Pinkie replied saying, "A punching bag for Pound? With a gift like that, I'm sure to be the best aunt around!"

They looked past each other's presence, no longer having a brawl. After the bug decided to help, at being her 'fly on the wall;'

For the work, she willingly gave a cupcake to her new ally. They accepted the other's company, both Pinkie and the fly.
