//------------------------------// // Side Mission Rainbow and cupcake // Story: Castle crashers Elements of magic // by Flip_The_Table //------------------------------// Logbook So along my way training with the guys, I met a knight who happened to have some bad luck with false rumors about him, so I asked Patrick if he can join us, but sadly he said no. But it did not stop me from helping him, and your wondering, who is this guy? Theodore Hawkmoon. This is Tim the pink knight of the Castle Crashers signing off on January 30 The sun was rising slowly over the village of Ponyville, the early walker trot outside and wave at some ponies making more villagers wake up and starts the day. A newspaper was thrown to the door of sugar cube corner, landing lightly on the welcome mat. The door opens as a hand reached and grabs it before closing the door. “Here you go Mr. Cake! Looks like there is come kind of crossword puzzles on it” Tim said as the Cakes eye the paper and they chuckle. “Thanks Timmy, mind helping Pinkie set up shop? We’re going to be leaving for a trip for the kids” Mis. Cake said as the human claps his hands together and walks back into kitchen where the party pony was at staining at the two kinds of cupcakes. “Hey, Timmy! Come here. Can you tell the difference between these cupcakes?” She asked holding the two in front of the human. He blinks for a second and takes his helmet off letting his pink hair out, he rubs a chin as he eyed the two different color frosting. “Well one has a different color… but do they taste different?” He asked Pinkie smiles brightly and nods her head and pulls a page out. “After you gave me the recipe for your human cupcakes I see the difference between the two. “They look the same, if it’s the taste that different then what make them look different?” Tim asked as he grabs the cupcake and looks at it. “You said that Humans can not have too much cupcake cause of sugar, but ponies need lots of sugar… your recipe show out like it’s cooking a muffin” Tim hummed at that and placed the cupcake down and sighed “anyway, the Cakes are about to leave, so we have the shop to ourselves” Tim said putting his helmet back on. Pinkie hops out of the kitchen laughing as they flip the sign to open. “Well then silly! Let’s get today going!” She said “so you wanna bake or cashiers” she asked, Tim rubbed his chin then clapped his hands “I’ll bake!” He chimed making the mare giggle as they swap hats, Tim takes his helmet off and puts it on Pinkie’s head and puts the chef hat on and grabs the dough. “Wow! This helmet is cool!” Pinkie said before lifting the face plate up to fit the helmet better, Tim laughed as he placed a cupcake tray in the oven. “Maybe I can have Rai make you one! He would love to make armor for anyone!” Tim said as he grabs his mace and beats the dough. “You talk a lot about Rai, what is he like?” Pinkie asked looking back at the human. Tim smiles brightly and chuckled “me and Rai are long time best friends, we knew each other before we were the Castles Crashers” he explained as he charged his magic and shoots out jellybeans and chocolate. “Oh! I wished I have your magic! All the sugar in the world!” Pinkie said before giggling at she steals a chocolate bar. Tim smiles and puts another tray of cupcakes in the oven. “Well at least you all enjoy magic users, cus where I’m from it’s… a sad story” he admitted making Pinkie stop to look back at Tim who was rubbing his arm. He then shrugged it off and smiles at the pony “but that’s for another day! Let’s bake some cookies and cakes now!” He said pulling out the recipe book. An hour later ponies started coming inside asking for usual sweets. Tim was in the zone as he flips some cake around and frosted them, he even had his magic help out a lot too! Just a simple sprinkle of candy and jellybeans all cover some cakes and all. They worked well together, like a professional baker ‘this is for you father’ Tim’s smile grows bigger as he finished his last cake for the day. “Wow! What a day of baking!” Tim said clapping his hands together having flour fly around and cover his apron in dough. Pinkie giggled and hops back and pats Tim’s shoulder. “Let’s close the shop for an hour brake! And let’s talk till then” she said and Tim cheered for a brake. Flipping the sign the two walk upstairs and enter Pinkie’s room. “So! This is… an interview!” She chimed making the human blink for a second and noticed Gummy stair up at him. “O-okay? What do you want to ask?” He said sitting down on the floor and grabs Gummy, and lets him slowly. “Okay! So I have a bunch of super duper awesome questions that I want to ask! Feel free to say no but not all of them” she giggled before pulling glasses out of nowhere and puts them on as she looks at her clipboard that appeared nowhere too. “So! Where did your love of backing come form?” She asked looking at the man, Tim rubs his head and then puts his helmet on as he listens to the question. “My father. He was the kings royal baker” Tim said, Pinkie grabs a crayon and writes… scribbles in the page. “Okay… so how did you get you magic?” She asked Tim flinched and sighed lifting a hand up “pass” he said and the mare groans “oh alright then… next question! Do you like my pet Gummy?” She said pointing a hoof at him “huh?” Tim then brings a hand up and feels the gator nibble on his helmet. “Oh hello Gummy! I see your liking my helmet?” Tim asked pulling the gator off and smiles at him. Pinkie laughed at that and grabs her pet and pets his back. Gummy doesn’t even flinch… he just watches closely at the human before liking his eye open. Tim leans back a bit before he charges his magic and a penguin appeared with a straw hat. “Do you like Penguins?” He asked “wack” the arctic bird squeaked making Pinkie bounce off the beg before gasping loudly. She then touched the bird and soon laughed loudly as she picks the bird up “he is so cute! I’m calling him Hopper!” She said before putting the penguin next to the gator. “Wack” the bird repeated and the gator just blinks. Soon both Tim and Pinkie cooed as they see their pets talk with each other. Tim then looks outside and frowned a little “so… what else do you want to know?” He asked looking back at the pink pony. “Oh! Well… why did you become a knight if you love baking?” She asked Tim takes a second to process the question “well, when I got my powers I had to leave my family cause I was enhanced, and Patrick found me, Trained me to be strong” Tim sighed and looks down “if only I was a real hero…” Tim sighed before feeling a hoof touch his leg and looks at Pinkie smile lightly at him. “You are a hero, from what I understand you did the right thing” she said before hugging the human “thanks Pinkie” he said “Hey that’s what siblings do remember?” She asked and Tim nods brightly at that then remembered on his new role as an element. He feels his magic charge lightly, lifting a hand up he sees the aura “huh… that’s new” Tim said “What’s wrong?” Pinkie asked as he looks at his body glow “my magic… it’s flowing… I feel more… powerful” he said before some rainbow start dancing off his palm. Pinkie gasped and giggled before eyeing the time, it’s been about a couple of minutes… maybe a good walk around town will help. Lyra hums to herself as she helps Bon Bon with the candy and sweets "hey Bonnie? Where do you want to chocolate placed?" She asked looking over to the mare as she was working on some other kinds of candy. "uh under the marshmallows please, the ponies love the s'mores this year" Bon Bon said before she gasped as looking outside to see something. Lyra doesn't noticed for a second as was focusing on the candy placement before she then looks at Bon Bon again "uh... Bon? what the matter?" Lyra says patting her shoulder making the candy mare blink for a second "uh Lyra... Look" Bon Bon said picking a hoof up to Lyra's chin to look over to the window to see... now wait a minute, She knew the party pony Pinkie Pie... But the thing that stands close to her, it has some kind of armor on from bottom to the top. "is that... Is that what I think it is?" she asked as her theory slowly waves at ponies passing by them. "A HUMAN!" Lyra nearly gasped before she leans on the window... Pinkie was hopping next to the human as he simply talking? it doesn't have a mouth... but yet he, Yes a male talk to Pinkie Pie as a average conversation. "Uh Ly? are you okay?" Bon Bon said lowering a brow as the blue unicorn was painting lightly as a light blush sits on her face "A Human... Here living and breathing... I... I NEED-- Uh I need to talk to him" She said before opening the door and nearly runs to the pair. "And that's why Rai and I are mace brothers" He laughed as the pink mare was giggling the whole time, Lyra then walks up and taps the human's leg making him stop to look down at the mare "Oh hello!" he said making Lyra gasp and have her blush deepen "H-hello... I'm Lyra Heartstring" Lyra greeted letting her mind take controlled "Hello, names Tim. Tim the human" He said before Pinkie pulls the human back "Tim we got to think better on the last part of your name!" "What why?" "You are the "Human" You and your friends are also humans too!" Pinkie shouts making the human rub his chin saying something about not having a last name anymore but Lyra did not listen to that 'more. humans.' Her blush was darker now making her look like her coat was blue and red, but snapping out of it she looks up at the hu- no Tim looking back down. "hello Lyra! I'm Tim. Tim Pink!" He greets this time with his whole name now. Lyra smiles up at him and giggled lightly as she looks at the hand... The fingers 'Okay snap out of it mare!' she thinks before Tim was on a knee "so you wanted to talk? I have to make it short, got only 30 minutes left before I have to get back to work" he said as the mare look at his hands again "can I uh... Can I see your claws?" She asked "... Wat?" Tim blurted "Your claws!" She cooed as she grabs the claw and rubs his palm with her hooves and was painting heavily 'what the what!?' Tim thinks as he slowly pulls his hand back as the mare whines from his retreat. Tim looks at his hand and gagged a bit seeing it moist a little "uh... Pinkie... what is happening?" The human asked as the party pony as she stopped jumping and stared at the blue unicorn with jaw dropped. "Tim" Pinkie muttered "y-yeah?" "Run" Feeling the fear take over the human does so and takes off towards the only place he been staying. He hears hooves follow close and sounds of the crazed mare following close while shouting “I just wanna touch your claws!” She said “There are ponies watching!” Tim shouts back as he keep a good hold of his helmet ‘this is crazy!’ He thinks rapidly as he turns the corner and see the baking shop good ways ahead of him. But stops as Lyra was now in front of him from the alley way “Just…. One more… mmmm… touch!” She coos before dashing forward towards the human. Tim panicked and looks at his hands seeing the magic slowly appear. Then an idea pops “Sorry lady…. But I uh don’t bite unless you take me to dinner first” he said snapping his finger at her. Just then a huge bunny pops out of the ground launching Tim in the air, he then shoots rainbows out of his hands and starts running on it like a bridge. The ponies all gasp as the display of magic and the bunny that suddenly disappeared. Lyra stands there and eyes the human returning to the ground and was closer to the shop. Pinkie then hops out of nowhere and opens the door for him and the mare to go inside locking the door. Lyra stands there before Bon Bon trots up with a shocked look on her face “what was that Ly?” She asked “Uh… I tried to talk to him… and I saw his…” she shuddered before Bon Bon rolled her eyes and starts to drag Lyra back to her shop. Inside both Tim and Pinkie were panting hard as they luckily escaped the crazed mare. Tim then flops on his back to the ground both tired and shocked in that whole encounter “what in gods name was wrong with that mare?” He asked sitting up “That Lyra, she was the only mare who knew about humans… about them being a myth and all… but now that you and the others… ooh” she then gives an apologetic look “yeah sorry but uh… she is in to you” she said hopping up and trots back to the counter. “What? Wait Pinkie what should I do?” Tim said getting in his knees as he crawls over to the mare. She giggles lightly but then grabs the chef hat “I’m baking this time Timmy” she said hopping to the kitchen, leaving the pink knight along on the floor. If this mare is that bad… what in all names of gods would he do? “O…okay Pinkie” he groaned in defeat as he slowly gets up and adjust his helmet and walks over the door, he sighed softly as not seeing Lyra not around ‘boy! The others are going to hate her’ he thinks before gagging at the thought of seeing her try to— “I’m not going to think any more of that thank you very much!” He said slapping his face before seeing Hopper and Gummy step on the counter. They run by him and hop off as they walk around before they both stop to look at the window. Tim chuckled at that and spots the door opening as he spots some ponies walking in. “Hi everyone! Welcome to Sugar cube corner, what would you like to order?” O==[]#######>The end?<#######[]==O End song https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz58z2AmGTY
