I looked over to Pinkie who was happly swinging from side to side in her chair. On her desk was a paper with colourfull crayons like yesterday and the empty cupcake tray from earlier. 

If she's going to be making cupcakes for the festival, she'll probably have to make more than what fits in that tray. And even if I'm no where near as good in baking as she is, I still feel like I could help out. 

Having made my choice, I walk over to her table. "Hey Pinkie!" I get a chair and sit down next to her.

"Hey again!" She gives me a quick smile before looking back to her paper.

I look at her paper and see her drawing a cupcake. But it's more like a base of it. It doesn't have any colours, decorations or icing. It's just a blank one. Like what you would get if you take it out the oven. There's also an empty space in it that would probably be the place for possible filling.

"You're drawing an undecorated cupcake?" 

"It is now! But once I add what I want it will be more like the cupcakes from before!" She points at the empty cupcake tray next to her. 

I slowely nod. "So it's, correct me if I'm wrong, a way to try different things?" I make a quick guess. 

"Exactly! You're a good guesser!" 

I feel my cheeks warm up as she said it. I let out a small chuckle before looking back at her. "Thanks Pinkie. But you're also a great drawer."

I see her blush before giving me a smile. "Aww.. Thanks.." She looks away for a bit before continuing. "So, I'm going to have to make a lot of these. Twilight personally wants to see them before I'm allowed to make any of them. She's very precise like that."

"I see.." I give her a smile. "I can help you out. If you don't mind of course."

"Of course I don't!" She gives me some paper. "You can just make something like this." She shows me her base of a cupcake. "And after that, you can decorate it in any way you want! As long as it looks good and the taste works well together, you can do whatever you want!"

I get one of the crayons and start the base. "Do you have anything to show what works well together? I'm not a baker, you know that."

"Oh, yea.." She thinks for a bit before speaking again. "You can look at what you like and work from there. You can also search some things up and put a twist on it. But I always like experimenting the most!"

I nod. "I'll see what I do."

She shows me a smile. "Same for me! I just use my creativity and then Twilight can attempt to make logic out of it!"

After knowing Pinkie for so long, hearing things like that from her don't suprise me anymore. So I just ignore it and continue with that I'm doing. But I still couldn't help but crack a smile. She may be random but she's also freaking hilarious thanks to things like that.

Drawing the base was easy enough. But now I had to continue with the design and taste. The design, I believe I could do but finding two or more things that mixed well together was going to be a challange. But I really wanted to help a friend out so I just have to try to make the best of it.

I started thinking about what I liked myself, like Pinkie said, and already came up with a few. I wrote it down on the corner of my paper before adding it onto the cupcake. The design was just your average icing with maybe a cool extra colour on top, but nothing too special.

Before I continued with anything else I looked over to Pinkie and showed her the first few cupcakes I finished. "Hey Pinkie? Is something like this alright?" 

She looked at my paper and returned me a smile. "That's good! But it's very simple."

"I know.." I put my paper back down. "I'm still trying to think of some better things."

"I didn't say it was a bad thing! I just mean that it should get people to notice our table at the festival. And the more people notice," Her smile grew. "The more people get to enjoy them!"

I let out a chuckle before giving her a nod. "Right, I'll try my best."

"I know you will!" We both blush a little before we turn back our drawings. 

This time, I get more creative with my designs. I add more colours and make some patherns on the icing and cupcake liner. I didn't even know if we would have the materials needed to succesfully make them all but I still made them. I also got some suggestions from Pinkie, which I happly added.

I was colouring one in when I heard Pinkie. "What do you think about this?" I looked over and she showed me one of her cupcake designs.

I didn't understand why she would ask ME that. She had WAY more experients than me and I didn't expect her to need any input from me. 

"You're asking me?" She simply nodded. "Oh, ok.."

I looked at her cupcake again. It was, like many of her other designs, full of colour and had more than 2 different flavors added in the small list above it. Again, I struggled to find anything to say about it. I didn't even know what she wanted to know from me.

"What do you want to hear?"

Her answer didn't help much.. "Whatever you have to say about it." 

"Uhm.." I looked over it again. "It looks nice. The colours I mean."

She gave me a smile. "Anything else?"

"I.." I try to think of something again, but words fail. "Not really.. Is there something I should notice?"

"N-Not necessarily.." I noticed her blushing a little. "I just wanted to hear what you thought of it."

I give her a smile. "I already told you it looks amazing." I feel myself blushing too now. "Everything you make does.."

Her blush increases as she goes to hug me. "You're too nice!" 

"Whatever you say Pinks." I hug her back feeling my blush continue too.

After atleast a few seconds we let go of eachother and the blush leaves both of our faces. And it isn't long before we hear the bell ring.

Pinkie looked a bit disapointed. "Aww man.. We were having so much fun.. Again." 

"No worries. With everything we have to do before the festival, we'll have more than enough time to hang out like this." I give her a smile.

"Wait," She's in the middle of putting back the crayons when she suddenly looks back at me. "You don't mean to say that you're helping me with the festival preperations??"

"That's exactly what I meant." I decide to help her by closing the crayon box. "There isn't anything wrong with that, is there?"

"Oh, of course not! I'm just suprised to guess!" She shows me a big smile as we bring the drawing materials back in their place in the closet. "But I'm so happy you want to! It was going to be fun before but now the fun is going to be dubbled!!" She makes a small jump in the air out of excitement.

I react to her excitement with a quick laugh before walking with her back to the table for the drawings. "I'm sure that with you, it will be." We put it on Twilight's desk and start making our way to the door. "You always make everything a fun ride."

"I know! That's why I can't wait to have you join me!" She gives me another hug before we make our way home. 

While we walk, she tells me about all her ideas for the festival and the plans she made. And after hearing her explain all of them with so much excitement I can't wait to do them with her. 

We split once we reach our houses like usual. This has been a great week so far. And it's about to get even better tomorrow.
