The 25 Days Of Hearth's Warming
Day 6: I Guess You Could Say I'm Dashing On The Ice
Sparkle Productions
Another amazing day in Ponyville. Pinkie Pie bounced throughout the kitchen of Sugar Cube Corner. One minute she was whisking away at double chocolate chip and apple cinnamon cookies, the next she was frosting vanilla cupcakes with lemon icing. All the while, she was tending to customers, who were there for a delightful breakfast.
Mrs. Cake came downstairs after checking on the twins, who were playing upstairs. "What would I do without you here?" She said out loud to Pinkie.
"I don't know, what would you do?"
Mr. Cake had gone to the store an hour ago for some ingredients needed for a cake. While he was gone and Mrs. Cake was tending to the twins, Pinkie was taking care of the bakery, making confectionery after confectionery while maintaining cleanliness around the shop and customers.
Mrs. Cake took her place at the front counter, "How about you go take a 45 minute break. You deserve it after all your hard work. I'll manage the shop. Be prepared to make some more deliveries when you come back."
"Okay, thank you Mrs. Cake!"
"You're welco-," she started but Pinkie was already gone. She gave an amused smile before setting a timer for exactly 45 minutes. She then began working on chocolate chip muffins. After those were in the oven she started on a cinnamon crumb cake and coconut and chocolate cupcakes.

Pinkie bounced throughout the snowy streets of Ponyville a big smile plastered on her face. Today's activity was ice skating. Arriving at the pond, she saw her friends Rainbow Dash and Soarin were already there.
"I see you're here," Dash said smiling. She had her saddle bags on, in them what appeared to be skates. "Ready to skate?"
"You know it! I have 45 minutes until my break is over, and I plan on using every second!"
"Let's get this show on the road, then!" Dash wasted no time in getting her skates on, before gliding on the ice. Pinkie joined her soon after, then Soarin.
Soarin's legs shook, trying to keep his balance to no avail. "Get up you silly filly!" Pinkie joked before jumping up and twirling, landing on her hind legs.
Dash slid by gracefully, lifting her front right leg and left hind leg. "Surprise surprise, our favorite Wonderbolt - who's known for being a graceful - can't even keep his balance, unlike me," she teased and bragged.
"Shut up," he said in a joking way.
"What? You cant handle the truth? Didn't know you were so sensitive."
"Something's wrong with being sensitive all of a sudden?"
Pinkie glided between them, "Guy! Stop fighting!" She yelled, oblivious to the whole ordeal.
Dash rolled her eyes, "Whatever."
Pinkie - with grace - ice skated on her hind legs, "Hey! Hey! Look at me!"
"How're you doing that?" Dash demanded to know.
"I guess you could say I'm dashing on the ice!" Pinkie yelled in-between laughs.
"Never say that again."
"Okay!"

Pinkie bounced home a minute early. "Hi, Mrs. Cake! How's the bakery been going since I've been gone?"
"Pretty well," Mrs. Cake cleaned the now empty tables. "Try to get back fro deliveries before the lunch rush comes."
"I will!" Pinkie trotted off again. Turning around and waving she yelled, "See you soon!"
"See you soon as well!"
Pinkie bounced throughout the streets somehow with a cart, continuously happy. Meanwhile all of her friends were around Ponyville were too, happy. After all, Hearth's Warming was soon so what was there not to be happy about? Absolutely nothing at all.
