The twins slowly and carefully walked down the stairs and peeked at what was on ground floor. Silhouette of who just broke in by destroying the wall!
The terrified twins hid and tried to overhear what was going on from less than five metres below.
"Thanks for helping us!" praised a female voice that the twins were familiar with.
"Even if we're going to have to spend more bits than ever to pay..." a familiar male voice could be heard saying.
"No way!" Pound Cake gasped.
"If you excuse us, we got some little ponies to check on!" Mrs Cake told the yak, before calling, "Pound! Pumpkin!"
That was when the twins finally recognised their parents.
"Mum! Dad!" the twins called, automatically racing to Mr and Mrs Cake.
"Thank goodness you're safe!" Mr Cake sighed in relief.
"Safe?" Pumpkin asked.
"There was a burglar nearby, and we were worried about you ever since we knew!" Mrs Cake explained.
"Especially when the burglar was caught near Sugar Cube Corner!" Mr Cake added.
"And bobby-trapped the place to keep us out!" Mrs Cake ended dramatically.
"Bobby-trapped the place to keep you out?!" the twins asked in unison and confusion.
"Yes! That flour and soapy water...the swinging barrel..." Mrs Cake explained.
"So it was you two that whole time?!" Pound asked in shock.
"That whole time?" Mr Cake asked.
"Whom we were keeping out of here, was you?" Pumpkin asked.
"Well, we were kept out by some bobby-traps..." Mrs Cake explained.
"Those were our bobby traps..." Pound Cake corrected.
"We thought you were burglars, so we made those traps to keep you out..." Pumpkin Cake elucidated.
"But, why would you think we were burglars?" Mr Cake asked his children.
"Because we saw one around the corner from our window," Pound Cake answered.
"And the burglar was running around our home, so we..." Pumpkin began, but was cut off by her mother.
"We understand your actions now, little cakes. You have every reason to lock up the place because here's danger near. But you winded up locking us out, that's why we tried to climb and enter by the window."
"And hired Mr Yak to destroy the wall so we can get in." Mr Cake added.
"About the wall...how much does it take to get it fixed?" Pound Cake asked.
"You kids better not know..." Mr Cake quickly replied.
"We're so sorry we left you with no choice but to destroy the wall...we accept any punishment you want to give us!" Pumpkin Cake cried.
"Punishment? We are all to blame, sweetie, so no punishment for you nor Pound, but your father and I got something to pay for..." Mrs Cake responded.
"Wait, Mum!" Pound Cake called, "We can make up for causing this to happen! We'll help you bake cakes and pastries here! We promise!"
"Yeah, we always wanted to bake ourselves, so helping you should be fun, while making up for this!" Pumpkin Cake added.
"Well...I can't say no to an apology," Mrs Cake replied.
"Neither can I!" added Mr Cake, "So it's a deal, Cakes."
"Deal," the twins replied in agreement, shaking hooves with their parents.
"Great! Now, let's get this place cleaned up with a broom..." Mrs Cake began to walk off, unintentionally stepping on a string that triggered a chain reaction:
The vibration caused a teaspoon to fall from the table, land on a tablespoon on a cork on the floor, flinging a bottle cap to the party cannon that fired something other than confetti. This time, it was filled with raw eggs that went flying to Mrs Cake's face, and leaving egg yolk and egg white in their liquid state, dripping on the earth pony's head, with some small solid pieces of egg shell all over.
The twins let out a nervous laugh before Pound Cake said, "Sorry, mum!"
"We'll make up for that trap, too!" Pumpkin Cake added.
"You better..." Mrs Cake groaned.
