Some years after Twilight Sparkle's coronation as the Ruler of Equestria, the Cake Twins, Pound and Pumpkin, grew into preteens, and earned their cutie marks at some point of time.
One evening, the two young ponies were in their room reading a comic book that sounded thrilling.
"The two burglars were closing in on the young colt, determined to give the little pony the what for, and that means nothing good..." Pumpkin read.
"Pound? Pumpkin?" Mrs Cake called.
"Mum's calling! We got to finish reading the comic later!" Pound Cake told his sister.
The twins rushed down the stairs, greeting their mother, "Hey, Mum. We're here."
"Good, because you two got to know that your father and I have to go out tonight for something important." Mrs Cake informed.
"We have to deliver these boxes wth cakes inside to a special event that is very exclusive! " Mr Cake added, carrying a few boxes on his back.
"Especially with Madam Pinkie and her family away at her old family's rock farm these few days for their sleepover or stay or whatever, both your father and I have to make the deliveries." Mrs Cake continued.
"And that means that you two...will be home alone!" Mr Cake finished, sounding worried in his tone.
However, Pound and Pumpkin were not scared nor worried unlike their parents, as they had been longing for such a rare opportunity to be alone at home.
"Home alone?!" the twins asked in unison.
"Yes!" Mr and Mrs Cake replied in unison, still sounding uncomfortable.
"Are you kidding?!" Pumpkin asked in excitement.
"Being alone at home without any creature else?!" Pound added, equally excited.
"That is so awesome!!!" the Cake Twins shouted in unison.
"Awesome?!" Mrs Cake and Mr Cake asked with their eyes widening in shock.
"Yes!!!" the preteen twins responded, squealing.
"It means that no creature would be around to help you when you need help!!!" Mrs Cake shrieked.
"Imagine that; when you really, urgently, needed help, but could not get the help you need..." Mr Cake began, shivering as he went.
"You might get overwhelmed by fear, not knowing what to do..." Mrs Cake added, equally worried and scared in her tone.
"Completely helpless!!!" both parents ended in unison.
"Come on, Mum and Dad!" Pound Cake responded, sounding very annoyed by the adults' worries.
"We are preteens! The oldest kids! Going to be teenagers soon!" Pumpkin Cake added.
"What trouble can we get ourselves into when we are just going to be in our room, reading our favourite comic book while the main door is locked to keep our home and ourselves safe?" Pound Cake asked.
"And, our supper is nothing too difficult to get as it is just going to be either cupcakes or cakes from the fridge?" Pumpkin Cake ended.
"I suppose you're right..." Mrs Cake replied, after hearing what her children said.
"Silly us, worrying about too much." Mr Carrot Cake added.
"Well then, off we go! We can't leave those guests waiting for their orders!" Mrs Cake told her husband, hurrying off to work.
"Goodbye, twins! Just stay at home!" Mr Cake called, before departing with his wife.
"We will!" the Cake Twins replied in unison, waving their parents goodbye.
Once the parents were gone...
"YES! We're home alone!" the excited Cake Twins cheered, jumping up and down, "We're finally home alone!"
