//------------------------------// // Lucky Party // Story: Adventures of love // by Woogabear //------------------------------// "Were Back!" Mr. and Mrs. Cake came bounding through Sugar Cube Corner. "Were are my babies?" Pinkie came bounding down the stairs with a twin in each pouch of her saddle bag. "Here they are!" Pinkie said sing songy. The twins lit up when they saw their parents. Mr. and Mrs. Cake took one into each of their hooves and started giving them smooches all over making the twins giggle. "How was your trip?" "Exhausting." They said simultaneously. "Oh I am sure you had lots of fun let me help you with your bags." Pinkie scooped up their bags and rushed them to their room. "Everything looks great Pinkie I can see you can handle everything by yourself." "Oh I wasn't by myself, I had Lucky Clover help me this weekend." "That's great dear everything looks swell, what happened with you this weekend?" Asked Mr. Cake. "You know the usual the twins were a handful, and we got robbed, but other than that nothing really." "WE GOT ROBBED???" Mr. and Mrs. Cake yelled. "Yup nothing big really all they took were the sweets which wasn't that much because it was the beginning of the day. They didn't even take any money." Pinkie explained The Cakes relaxed. "I hope they don't come back, are you hurt?" "Nope we hid in the closet with the twins, everything is fine." They relaxed even further. "Well were glad you're all right, Me and Mrs. Cake are going up stairs to take a nap with the twins, they seem tired." As if to prove Mr. Cakes point they both yawned one after the other. The Cakes lumbered up the stairs and into there room. Pinkie sighed, she was glad the Cakes were back the twins were starting to get grumpy. But she was also kind of sad no more hanging out with Lucky Clover until she at least talked to the Cakes about hiring him. But it still wouldn't be the same, the Cakes would be there to ruin their moments. Pinkie loved the Cakes to death but they were like second parents, and just in case you didn't know it is extremely hard to flirt with someone when your parents are right there. But this was not Pinkies way of thinking. I am going to ask Mr. and Mrs. Cake to hire Lucky Clover, then when he gets hired I'm going to throw a party! And at that party maybe I will get lucky with Lucky! But not in that way, Oh you know what I mean. The Cakes nap lasted well into the afternoon and Pinkie was dying from anticipation. What if he doesn't get hired? What if the Cakes fire me just for suggesting it. Then I will have to find another job not to mention another house, and in this economy you just don't know. Pinkie shook her head. Come on Pinkie pull it together this is the Cakes were talking about, they took you in didn't they? Pinkie tried to calm her nerves. She decided to bake a personal cupcake to help her relax. She got out all of the supplies she need and started to bake. Before long a beautiful cupcake lay sitting on the counter waiting to be eaten. Pinkie didn't know why but it looked oddly familiar. It was a grey cupcake with black frosting pointing in a spikey direction. The realization hit her, I made Lucky Clover into a cupcake. Wow Pinkie you have got to get it together. She thought to herself. She presumed eating it and it made her feel a little better. The Cakes finally arose from their nap and lumbered down the stairs with the still sleepy twins on their backs. "How was your naps?" They yawed "Refreshing. What have you been up to?" "Oh I just made a cupcake." "Just one?" Asked Mrs.. Cake. "Yup just for me." Mrs. and Mr. Cake looked at each other then back at Pinkie. "Soooooo I was wondering if we could hire a new employee." The Cakes looked surprised. "What for?" "Well you guy's look exhausted all the time, and maybe hiring somepony else would fix that." Pinkie said persuasively. "Yes your right hiring somepony would help us a lot. But who?" Pinkie grinned. "I was just waiting for you to ask that! So before I mentioned a stallion named Lucky Clover, and he want's to work here." Mr. Cake looked undecided. "I don't know Pinkie does this stallion even know anything about baking?" Pinkies Smile widened. "He is one of the best bakers that I have ever seen! He already knows what it' like to work here, and the best part, he is great with kids. He helped me a lot when I had to run the shop and watch the twins." Pinkies smile was infectious and the Cakes started smiling too. "He sounds great but were going to have to meet him first." Said Mr. Cake. "So that means you'll hire him?" Pinkie asked enthusiastically. "If he is anything like you say he is, I'm sure he will fit right in." Pinkie was ecstatic she felt like her dad had just let her go to prom with the hottest pony in school. "That's great you can meet him tomorrow." Pinkie immediately started writing a letter saying that Lucky Clover had an interview tomorrow. She hailed the mail pony that was just passing through. "It's urgent." He only nodded and was on his way. *** The next day Lucky Clover came one hour before Sugar Cube Corner opened. Mr. and Mrs. Cake were already seated at a table in the corner of the shop. The Cakes told Pinkie that she wasn't aloud in the shop until after the interview was over. When she asked why they told her that they didn't want her to interfere with the interview. Pinkie sat at the top of the stairs watching as Lucky Clover came in. He is so cute with his hair styled up like that. She giggled to herself. "Hi I am here for the interview to work at Sugar Cube Corner." "Please sit down Mr. Clover." Said Mr. Cake. Lucky sat down in the chair across from the Cakes. Pound and Pumpkin were sitting on there laps. "Your résumé please." Lucky pulled a white sheet of paper out of his bag and set it on the table. Mr. and Mrs. Cake looked it over. Mr. Cake spoke "It says that you have worked in other bakery's." "Yes sir, when I was in collage I needed money so I took an apprenticeship from a baker to get me through." Mr. Cake nodded. "It also says that you are good with kids, is that correct?" Lucky smiled at the two foals on the pony's lap. "I love kids with all my heart, and I would be happy to take care of your two bundle of joy's anytime. That is if I get the job." Mr. and Mrs. Cake looked at each other then back at Lucky then back at each other, they smiled. 'You got the job Lucky, we think you will be a fine addition to the Cake family. You start today." "Wow really thanks Mr. and Mrs. Cake I wont let you down." "YIPEEE." Cried Pinkie Pie running down the stairs. " You know what this calls for? A PARTY!"
