Sweet Tart was putting her head down on her counter waiting for a customer to come. It was a hot day, maybe about 80° and the shops A.C was broken. The bell on the door rang, signaling thay somepony had walked in. Her blue eyes meeting another pair of blur eyes she was greeted with a smiling pink pony,

"Hiya sweet tart! Nice to see you again!" Said a chipper and up beat voice, I was Pinkie Pie.

But this isn't any ordinary Pinkie, she was from the story Muffins Side Story writen by Reitanna Seishin.
Sweet. T lifted her white cheek from the tile and felt her unstick to it like a suction cup, "Hello pinkie my darling! Celestia has brung hell apon today, it's so hot I could just melt! And my mane is so poofy and hot I wish I could cut it but these curls take a wile grow." 

She put her hoof through her curls, she had a dual colored main of light pink and dark pink.

Pinkie tilted her head "why don't you use a spell to make it grow faster?"

Sweet T sighed and said "I tried that but honey these curls and hair growing magic don't mix, it gets so nappy I can't even get a brush out of it!" 

Pinkie giggled and said "hehe, I can never get a brush though my hair unless I wanted stuck there for who-knows-how-long!"

She levitated a fan over and said "yep i hear you,"

She turned on the fan, "ahhh...ok what will it be today? I cast that repopulation spell last week so you wouldn't run out of ponies, is it working?"

Pinkie smiled and said "yes! Now me, my sisters, apple bloom, babbs, and durpy all have so many ponies to play with! I came here because it's so hot that my secret ingredient went bad and durpy had accidentally broke the cooler somehow. We can't get anypony at the time because our little secret is out, so I came for some secret ingredients." 

Sweet Tart grinned and said "Lucky for your I just got done getting your ingredient." 

She pulls a bloody knife from under the counter, still dripping fresh blood. 

"If I would have known you could come I would have saved this stallion for you and the girls, but he was too disrespectful for me to hold back."

Pinkie seems to be intrigued by the daily drama, "what did he do?"

"You won't believe this! He came up to my counter and look me dead in the eyes and said 'hey, there's some pretty scary ponies out there. If you come to my house you'll be protected from them."

Pinkie held her hoof to her mouth  "I can't believe it! Than what?"

Sweet T giggled and said "well, I said I bet I'm going to be less protected when I go to your house!"

Pinkie and Sweet T both laughed at the statement.

She leaned in closer than said again "Than what???"

Sweet T crossed her hooves and scoffed "Then he had the complete audacity to try and put his dirty hoof on me! I don't mind any friends putting their hooves on me but he was a random stallion." 

Pinkie gasped and said "Are you ok? Did her hurt you?"

Sweet Tart smiled warmly "No I'm ok."

Pinkie grew a wicked smile "Did you stabbed him?"

Sweet T shook her head, "I shot a killing spell on him and he died instantly. I used the knife to harvest his organs, fur, and meat. I don't have soundproofing in my shop so I can't do what you do. I'll join you any day but doing it alone for me is a little boring and I like to share the moment."

"Sweetie T I completely agree! I did it alone when I was a filly and it was kinda lonley, but when my sister's got involved it became 10 times more fun! When other ponies got involved, we became a family." Pinkie said.

Sweet T clapped her hooves together, "Oh! Your order right,"

She levitates the knife over to pinke, "Pinkie dear, you want to lick it wail I lift the cloaking spell?"

Pinkie jumps in delight and says "Oh boy! I haven't had the taste in almost 4 das and I'm craving it more than ever, Thank you!"

"No problem!" Sweet T. said as she walked over to the center of the room. 

Sweet tart has a weird spell she cast on herself that allows her to walk on two hooves instead of fore because of a cool balancing  spell she made up. 

Her horn glows a soft pink color as the cloaking spell lifts and the normal looking Sweet Shop, turns into an place no normal pony cant handle. Her normal looking counter turned into a counter with her cutie mark on it, a skull with a pink stripes going across it and candy wrapper ends on each side. The words on it changed from Welcome to My Sweet Shop to Welcome to the Dimension shop. There was a sign on the door that said 'no dogs allowed' but now it said 'no protagonist allowed.' 

The jars on the side used to hold candy, they now hold a jarred  eye balls and a single jarred heart. There was a tiny pony skull on the side for decor and a little business card basket, but it wasn't a basket anymore, it was the head of a taxidermied bird. Behind her was a menu of what you can eat. Her shop doubled as a supply shop and a place to eat and relax and maybe meet other ponys. Pinkie occasionally bring cupcakes for the ponies there, somehow she always found a way into the shop even if it wasn't her dimension Stweat tart was in. 

On the walls,  there were shelves, the first one had different size skulls and bones of different species of animal, for the ones who wanted to do witchcraft and rituals. The second shelf had a few jars of rainbows, fresh and ready for the Rainbow Factory. The third and final row, had jerky of all kinds, deer, beef, rabbit,  and tons of exotic animal jerky. but of corse pony was the special for those cannibals. 

On the other side of the wall there was a candy shop. Even the insane ponies have a sweet tooth. It was every kind of sweet you could think of even though weird and exotic kinds. As decoration she has torture devices for display and sometimes ponies ask for them, she of corse has some in the back for 50 bit's but the prices can range depending on what kind it is. You can also trade your items there or you can cash them in, almost like a pawn shop. 

For all the ponies who go there, sweet tart made them swear not to tell any normal or heroic pony about her shop. She's a very powerful pony yet, she doesn't over use it. You can ask her for personal  favors like pinky did for a small price. If you are friend she might just give you a discount for the next time you come. 

There were tables, chairs, sofas, a universal TV, and of course high quality free WiFi. It's the ideal place for any antagonist. She does go to different dimensions other than the My Little Pony Realm but that's sort of rare. 

The spell ends in Pinkie Pie takes a big whiff of everything in the room, a sweet smell and comforting smell to all who enter.

"Hold on one moment," said Sweet T, "I need to cast a cloaking spell on the outside so there's no suspicion."

Pinky had licked the knife to a pristine state "okie dokie lokie!" She said.

A quick flash of light and the outside looked just as normal as the inside beforE the spell was lifed, but the sign on the door said closed and it looked like it was close to. 

"Ijust made something so marvelous and efficient I couldn't wait to show you! A new menu for ponies like you, so I wouldn't have to get all the samples of meat and lay it out on the counter! look on the menu and see what kind of meat you want. We even have the intestines and extra body parts. My special is blood and eye ball soup! But I already know you want some cupcakes."

"YES! Cupcakes would be the perfect thing on a hot day right now! I'll take a batch of 5 so I can bring it back to the girls."

"Ok that will be 25 bit's please."

Pinkie Pie hands over the bits and starts looking over the menu. 

" okay I'll have the full body and the extras. Thanks :3" 

"Don't you want the cutie mark?"

"I only take the Cutie Mark when I do it myself."

With that sweet tart heads to the back to go get her order.

As Pinkie read more of the menu she said "wow sweetheart you really have a marvelous menu, I have to take the girls here one day! Derpy with love your brain pie and apple bloom would adore your flesh spaghetti with a side of blood tomato sauce.   I know all my sisters would get the same thing, eye ball soup, they like the pop. For me I would just be eating cupcakes and some rainbow cookies. Also what is flesh spaghetti with blood tomato sauce?"

Sweet tart calls from the back "Well it's regular spaghetti with chunks of flesh in it and blood mixed into the tomato sauce to give it a nice tang and flavor! I got the idea from your cupcakes." 

Pinky marveled at the menu and wished she had enough bits to spare, but she only had enough for her special ingredient.

Sweet tart came back and said "that'll be 60 bits please!"

Pinky smiled back and gave her the right amount, she waved her goodbye, and walked out.

When pinky walked out sweet T cast the cloaking spell again and her head drop to the counter. She couldn't stand the heat but she was going to be their for a week so she better become used to it.
