There it is. The prize of all prizes. This, this is it! I'm GOING to get that prize. That small, delectable prize! I want it. No, I NEED it! The way it glistens in the sun, all the aromas coming from it, it's like nothing I've ever seen before! I've made tons of them, but this one, THIS one looks like the king of all the supertasicallyamazinglyamazingawsome- AH! FOCUS, ME, FOCUS! Okay, now all I need is to, HEY!? WHERE'S IT GOING?!
"Er, where's what going?" Mrs. Cake asked calmly.
Pinkie blinked, as if to reply, but instead, she simply ran up to her room, shouting, "I'm going to take a break!"
A soft 'ok' was heard from down the stairs as Pinkie paced around her room, thinking up a plan to seize that perfectly awesome cupcake that was resting on display.
She had been staring at the small pastry ever since it arrived, carefully delivered in a large metal box with chains latched onto it prior to being set up for sale. Everytime she would walk by it, she couldn't help but stare at it, with its soft blue colored frosting begging to be licked up. And the toppings, oh, the toppings. It was topped with loads of sprinkles and small brownie pieces, along with apple crusted chocolate chip cookies that were actually INSIDE the brownies, despite their size. It was like nothing she had ever seen, or baked! And she knew, that within the depths of that cupcake, there were more sugary fantastically awesome ingredients, she just knew it. Although, she couldn't quite remember the name. It was something like the 'Magnificent Mega Marvel Sprinkle Sparked Apple Crumble Brownie Bit Swirly Super Crazy Cupcake Ala Mode' or something along the lines of that. If she could've, she would've bought it, despite its extremely high price of a hundred bits. But despite all the money she threw at them, those darn Cakes would just NOT give in! It was as if the cupcake was explosive or something. Pinkie, though, was not going to have ANYPONY say she could not have that cupcake, no matter WHAT. But, the only way she would be able to obtain that amazing confectionery now, was to TAKE IT.
"Aha!" Pinkie wooed, pulling a dark costume with night vision goggles before her eyes.
She gave the goggles a quick look, noticing the two lenses to see through, along with a small light added onto the top. She giggled and placed them on, proceeding to drop the suit on the floor to put it on.
"Right foreleg first, then the left. Now the back, hide the tail, in the black!" Pinkie smiled, finally settling her mane into the dark suit. She walked over to her mirror and admired her perfectly put-on black suit. Finally seeing she was all settled, she walked over to her dresser and picked up five smoke bombs, putting them in her pocket for emergencies.
"Now it's time for business!"

The crackling and sizzling of the fireplace soothed Twilight as she brought out parchment paper from her saddlebag, gently placing it on a desk along with the extremely expensive cupcake she bought. Seeing the pastry brought a smile to her face. Not because of how delicious it looked, but how informative it seemed. She hadn't even mean't to buy it, but when she heard about the assumption of the delightful treat actually having 'magical powers' from almost everypony in Ponyville, she was all ears. Of course she wasn't that gullible, though, but she knew if something as small as a cupcake costed a hundred bits and was claimed in a metal box secured by chains, then obviously, there was more to this thing than expert craftsmanship. Also, the thing that worried, yet confused Twilight was the warning the Cakes gave her....
++++++
"Twilight," Mr. Cake said in a serious tone, "do you realize what you are about to buy? This cupcake has more potential than you think. This, if not handled properly, can literally END Equestria as we know it."
"I promise to take care of it."
Mr. Cake shook his head slowly. "I don't think you actually know what you are doing. No offense, but this can seriously end all of us."
Twilight shifted uneasily at his tone. "How exactly can a tiny cupcake end us all?"
Mr. Cake looked around nervously and motioned Twilight to get closer. She obliged, and moved further upward curiously. He moved to her ear and whispered a single word.
"Pinkie."
With that, he nodded and pulled the bag of bits closer to him, saying 'have a nice day' in a serious, yet cheerful tone.

She had no idea what her pink party pony friend had anything to do with the cupcake, but it seemed extremely important to keep it away from her. All the warnings and rumors about the cupcake had made her really eager to run some tests on it, and she was hoping that the funds for Spike's college fund would be worth it.
Then, with everything settled, she curiously licked a small part of the frosting off. Immediately as she did, her eyes shot open, her mouth tingling from the explosion of flavor and extremely large amounts of sugar from that one small dab of frosting. She stared at the cupcake, her mind fighting the urge to just scarf the whole dang thing down. But she knew, that years worth of info on magical sweets could possibly be gained here for the future. Smiling and content with her decision, she sat up and placed the quill on the table, walking over to the kitchen to grab a butter knife. She couldn't wait to finally dig into this thing and learn its delicious secrets! Finally, after she found the most clean and pristine knife she could find, she walked over to see Pinkie Pie hanging from a ceiling, cupcake in hand.
Twilight didn't know how Pinkie could end Equestria with a cupcake, but with the extremely serious warning by the Cakes, she didn't want to know.
But she thought of it, and in that quick instant, the realization flashed in her mind: Pinkie, extremely sugary cupcake, chains, security, power, high price, rumors, hyperactive pony, Fourth Wall breaking.
The cupcake, filled to the brim with sugar, given to a already sugar-hopped pony who tends to break reality, leading to the destruction of Equestria. Security, warnings and extremely high price used to ward off Pinkie to not buy it, because she can......!
It was as if time slowed down, fully capturing the picture of Twilight running towards her hungry pink pony friend, fully aware of the catastrophic event about to occur before her eyes.
"PPPPPIIIIIIINNKKKKIIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-"
