It was a gorgeous day in Ponyville and Pinkie was just setting up shop at sugar cube corner. "Pinkie we're going to deliver a order in Fillydelphia and we were wondering if you could run the shop and look after the twins. I know it sounds like a lot of hard work but we will pay you extra and you can have anyone help you with the shop." 

"Sounds good Mrs.Cake." Replied Pinkie happily. "You're amazing Pinkie please try to be responsible." Said Mr.Cake as they left out the door. Pinkie took a big breath and continued setting up. After about an hour or so it was opening time and people flooded in to get there coffee and bagels for the morning. Pinkie had the twins in there high chairs in the back and went to check on them. Pound cake was hitting his high chair demanding that he be fed. Pumpkin cake was sucking on her favorite stuffed animal and didn't seem to mind that there was no food. Pinkie was running to and fro trying to get orders and watch the Cake twins. After the morning rush was over Pinkie had a little bit of a break and decided to play with the baby's. She was sitting on the floor playing where's pinkie when the door rang. She set the twins in the play pen and went to the counter. Lucky Clover and Caramel walked in and went up to pinkie. 

"Hello sirs, how can I help" Pinkie said bubbly.

"I'll have a mango smoothie with extra grains." Said Caramel

"And I'll have your suggestion of cupcake"Said Lucky

"Coming right up." Pinkie rushed into the kitchen to start the smoothie and pick out what cupcake she was going to give Lucky Clover. Secretly Pinkie was elated that Lucky had come into the store, he has been Pinkies crush since grade school. This is my chance.Thought Pinkie Pie. As the smoothie was mixing she picked out a chocolate cupcake with red frosting and pink fondant hearts. She returned to the counter and served them their orders, winking at Lucky Clover. Pumpkin Cake started crying and Pinkie rushed over to comfort her.

With pumpkin on her back Pinkie went back to the counter to get the stallions pay. "Looks like you have your hoofs full." Stated Caramel."We should probably get out of your mane." Lucky snapped out of his trans while looking at Pinkie and walked out. When they were outside Pinkie saw Caramel nudge Lucky and gesture towards the store. Lucky hesitated for a moment and walked back in the store. He rubbed the back of his neck with his hoof and said: "Uh Pinkie... If you need any help I would be more than happy to help you run the shop while your alone." 

Pinkies heart did a summersault and she grinned probably more than she should. "That would be amazing! I mean I would think that that's okay, not that I don't appreciate you, no that's not what I meant at all, you are an amazing pony for doing this but not like in a weird romance way, okay I should stop. Yes I would like if you helped me today." 

Lucky blushed and said: "Great were are the aprons." 

"In the closet next to the fridge" Pinkie sad watching as Lucky passed her and into the kitchen. Man he has a toned flank, I wonder what he does for a living."He returned wearing his apron. "So what can I start doing?" 

"I'm making a batch of cupcakes you can mix the dry ingredients while I will mix the wet, the recipe is in the drawer." Pumpkin had fallen asleep on Pinkies back and she decided to go up stairs and put her in her crib, along with pound cake. When she came back down Lucky was already mixing the dry and wet ingredients and pouring them into the pan. "Where did you learn how to bake?" Pinkie asked raising an eyebrow.

Lucky blushed slightly, "My mom taught me too cook. She said 'if you ever want to impress a filly show her how you cook'"

Pinkie smirked. "Are you trying to impress me?"

Lucky looked at her and blushed." Do you want me to impress you?" Now it was Pinkie's time to blush.

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't." They were standing very close together and Pinkie could feel the heat coming off of him, she could see the muscle rippling under his soft gray coat. "By the way, what do you do for a living" Lucky looked surprised by this question. 

"I'm a salespony, I sell lava lamps." Pinkie giggled at his silly occupation. Lucky noticed Pinkie staring at his muscles. "But I do more explicit things to work out, and I'm told I'm pretty good too." Pinkie gave him a knowing face and walked back into the front of the shop. 

The rest of the day went well and Lucky clover proved to be a good chef when it comes to baking. The twins were a handful and the shop was pretty busy so by the end of it Lucky and Pinkie were exhausted. The twins were in there beds and Pinkie and lucky we're relaxing on the sofa in the shop. They both knew that Lucky should probably get going it was already dark. But they both sat in comfortable silence. Pinkie somehow felt calmer when he was around. "When are the Cakes coming back?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"So that means you will need help tomorrow."

"Yes."

"I will be here." Pinkie smiled a huge smile that brightens everyone's day. "Okay see you then." And with that he was gone. Pinkie suddenly felt very hopeful and tired. Maybe I have a shot with him.
