Pinkie looked at Cup Cake who was at the counter from the kitchen with her hoof over her mouth. She had a worried tone and she turned to Carrot Cake who was behind her. "Are you sure?"
His expression was stern. "Yes, I want to do anything to be with you freely... even if it has risks."
Pinkie showed her normal smile and wrapped her forearms around his shoulders and they shared a deep kiss. She withdrew from him and let out a deep breath. "Okay, I'm ready."
Cup Cake was having a conversation with a customer, Cherilee, who had just purchased some baked goods for her class.
"Thank you so much for making these on short notice, I should have called earlier but I have been grading this terms tests." Cherilee said with a sheepish grin as she took the container.
Cup Cake put on her most pleasant smile. "It's no trouble dear, I'm always willing to help-" She saw Pinkie Pie and Carrot Cake behind Cherilee, they were looking around the store as if they were checking if anyone was watching. Cup Cake felt a wave of confusion wash over her as she saw them lock lips in front of her, but then she grew angry and slammed her hoof on the counter. "WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?!"
Cherilee turned around to see what she was talking about, along with rubbing a hoof on her ear from the shout. She saw Carrot looking at his wife with confusion as he was stacking goodies on the supply table, and Pinkie had paused from sweeping the floor and she was also confused.
"Honey, are you alright?" He asked sincerely to Cup Cake.
She slammed her hoof on the counter again. "DON'T PLAY DUMB! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Um... Honey, have you been drinking again?"
"What do you think, you idiot?" She asked through her gritted teeth.
"I'll...uh.. just go?" Cherilee hurriedly left the bakery.
Cup Cake froze up, she had yelled at her husband in front of somepony in public. Ugh...it's just one and Cherilee isn't one to gossip.. She looked under the counter at her whiskey bottle, there was only a few sips of it left. She felt her forehead Maybe I am still hungover.. she got back up from the counter and the two had left.
The rest of that day was slow, no pony else had come in and they closed up the bakery early.
Cup Cake had already passed out on her bed, Carrot closed the bedroom door and went into the kitchen where Pinkie was waiting for him.
"Do you think it worked?" She asked, showing her nervous expression from earlier.
"I hope so, she didn't catch us and she saw Cup Cake yell at us, also she knows that Cup Cake drinks now." He hung up his apron and hat on a hanger in the kitchen. "I really hope this works like I planned."
"How do we get more witnesses?"
He rubbed his chin in thought. "Well... I think I have an idea for that too."
