Flurry Heart and Sombra are inside Sugarcube Corner. Now usually it would’ve been packed to the brim with so many customers, and almost filled to the brim with so many cakes that are being delivered. But since it’s the weekend, it’s empty.

“So your parents said that you’re staying with me for a week? And they didn’t even tell me?” Sombra said with slight questioning and because he’s a little bit stunned as he now remembers as to what’s being said in the entire letter that he received a while back. “Eeyup… “ Flurry Heart replied while nodding her head without breaking eye contact, but not looking at anything in particular. Sombra sighs, says; “this is gonna be a long week… .” and then went to walk to the front counter with Flurry Heart.

The Cake Twins are currently in their old play area, playing with some of their old baby toys. Reason being is that both of them really missed foalhood, and that they wished that they could experience it all over again… . That, or something that Pinkie said about Pumpkin Cake’s sneezes vaporizing everything within a certain radius… . Hence the burn mark on the ground. Whatever it may be, it wasn’t fun, for any of them to experience.

“Hiya!” Pinkie said as she sees her two best friends approaching her. “What’ya doing here Sombra?” Sombra just sighs in response, and then says; “in all honesty, we’ve really needed to cool off/take a break because we’ve been having some problems with each other.” Pinkie blinked and looked concerned in response before asking in a concerned tone; “problems? What problems?” Flurry Heart sighed as well, and then says in response; “the kind of problems that, unfortunately… led to a wrecked store, and…  um… .” Flurry Heart then began to blush as she doesn’t wanna reveal anything anymore than she’s comfortable with sharing.

Pinkie Pie is now frowning due to her curiosity, and then asks; “aw cmon! Please… ? What happens next?!” Sombra sighs once more before finishing for Flurry Heart; “she had an accident… . Again… .” Flurry Heart nodded to Pinkie with a blush, and then continued by saying; “a-and also I’m staying with him for… , a week. Hehe… .” Pinkie and the Cake Twins all shouted; “what?!” in surprise. Pinkie then exclaimed; “b-b-but why? Why a week?! D-Don’t they know that Sombra was taking a vacation for a week to Saddle Arabia?!” Sombra sighs again, and then says; “oh… big time… . But yet, they too had to get busy for a week with meetings and diplomats… . Mostly for bandit awareness. And the rest is for other personal problems involving the Crystal Empire… and its safety.” Pinkie nodded in return, and said; “okay… “ whilst looking a bit down now due to the mood in the room. She then cleared her throat, and without a beat, became all cheery again before asking; “so! What would you two be having today?”



Flurry Heart and the Cake Twins are playing with some plushies, while Pinkie and Sombra are chatting and conversing with each other. It seemed like everything was going smoothly from then on… . At least until… this happened.

Crash

“Um… hello… ?” a certain mailpony said whilst on the ground due to crashing and breaking down the front door from flying clumsily, again. Sombra got up, picked them up from the ground, and then asks in a slight concerned tone; “yes Derpy? What’s the matter?” Looking hesitant; even though her eyes are crossed, Derpy then retrieves a letter from her saddlebag, and then nods solemnly before leaving without a second thought or glance. Looking a bit confused yet concerned, Sombra then opened the letter, and then began reading it through before having wide eyes due to what’s being said in the letter. Seeing this, Flurry Heart then asked; “what’s wrong?” before approaching King Sombra. Looking up from the letter in shock, Sombra said in a slight shocked tone; “I-I think I’ve been robbed… “ before clutching the letter in a very shocked state.
