You can feel your stomach start to growl as you approach Sugarcube Corner, the confectionery heaven that you remember so fondly from the show. It smells much better then when you attempted to smell it during the actual episode.

You march confidently through the door, a bell mounted at the entrance making a gurgle noise as you go through. You march up to the front register. “Excuse me,” you proclaim. “I have some questions to ask you.”

The cupcake behind the register nods. “In case you’re wondering,” it says, “All our ponies are fresh. No unnatural chemicals are used at all.” You look at the shelves behind it. Mr. and Mrs. Cake are sitting there shelves, obviously waiting to be purchased.

“Although they do look like high quality equine,” you say, “I’m actually looking for Pinkie Pie. Have you seen her around?”

The cupcake nods. “Yeah, she’s upstairs in her room. She’s really rotten, so I can’t sell her. Isn’t good for business, you know?”

You nod knowingly. Life as a pony peddler can certainly be rough.

Thanking the cupcake for its time, you proceed up the stairs to Pinkie’s room. You don’t believe the Pinkie from the Discord episode is like the Pinkie from the Cupcakes story, but caution is still necessary.

You open the door to her room slowly, and only a crack. Inside you see Pinkie, sitting down on a stool, an expression more grumpy than your Uncle Carl’s after he lost a game of strip poker. Granted, the experience wasn’t rewarding for you either.

“I hate sitting on stools!” she shouts.

Now… How are you going to approach this incredibly delicate situation?

> Delicate you say? How about just rushing in and getting the Element on her as quickly as possible?
> Try a long distance throw from the doorway. This’ll also give you an excuse to yell “headshot” if you succeed.
> Head on in and talk to her. She’s Pinkie Pie, the easiest pony to talk to in Equestria!
