Growing up in equestria

What did she say?

"TWILIGHT!!" Fluttershy yelled as smoke started billowing up from the basement.

Fluttershy starts making her way to the basement stairs when we hear some coughing from down them.

"It's alright Fluttershy I just used a drop too much of the potion on his mane clipping and 'cough cough' It's all magic smoke it should be harmless to all of us and my books....but just to be safe could you all open the doors and windows?" Twilight says from down in the basement.

Dylan, Fluttershy and Spike all start opening the windows and doors which only took about five minutes to complete. Twilight comes back up the stairs. Twilight's mane was blown in different directions and had soot on most of her except around her eyes where she had been wearing some goggles.

"Ms. Twilight?" says Dylan.

Twilight looks over at Dylan and tilts her head. "Yes Dylan?"

"You look like you have been inside a wind tunnel then had ground charcoal dumped on you." States Dylan who is starting to giggle a little.

Twilight levitates a small mirror over to herself and looks at herself. After taking a look at herself she lets out a short giggle then uses her magic to fix her mane and get rid of the soot.

"Oh WOW, That's cool!" Shouts Dylan.

"What's cool?" Asks Twilight.

"You making that stuff go away that's amazing." Says Dylan still amazed.

"It's just a simple cleaning spell, have you never seen something like that before?"

"No there isn't any magic where I come from." Dylan said excitedly.

Twilight just giggles at how quickly Dylan' moods change. Twilight levitates her mirror back to where it was and walks back over towards Dylan.

"Well that explains why your mane had such a bad reaction to the potion it was to test how much magic you can put out. It actually seems you are capable of making a lot of it. I want to study that more later, but for now lets go see that other friend I was we were talking about. I'm sure you will like her, she loves meeting new ponies...and just about anything else too." Says Twilight.

"Alright Ms. Twilight." Says Dylan.

They all went outside and started walking through town. Eventually more and more ponies were staring at Dylan who was just trying not to look as nervous. The four of them eventually came to a big store that looked like a ginger bread house. There were poles that looked like peppermint candy by the pink door holding up a awning that looked like ginger bread with a line of three red things that looked like candy. the entire roof looked like it had white icing all over it in swirling and looping designs. There was also a weather vane that looked like a pony standing on its hind legs holding a candy cane. To top the building off it had a structure that was on top that looked like a cupcake with three lit candles on top of it.

"Wow It looks like a gingerbread house!" Exclaims Dylan making a few ponies around him that were staring at him jump. After the learned he could talk they just went back to what they were doing many just giving a shrug and thinking along the lines of 'well at least its not some kind of monster'.

"Yes, it does sort of look like a ginger bread house. I suppose that is probably a way to attract customers to it. It's called Sugarcube Corner, It's a bakery and our friend works and also lives there." Says Twilight. "Come on were going in."

The four of them walk up to the door and go inside. Upon entering Dylan notices that the entire inside is filled with some sort of snack food or decorations that look like candy. Although there was one table that had some apples and carrots. Behind the counter is a blue female pony with a pink mane that looks like two tone pink frosting. She also had three pink cupcakes on her flank. She is wearing a yellow and pink apron with some pink earrings.

"Hello Mrs. Cake, Is Pinkie around?" Asks Twilight.

"Oh yes she's in the kitchen dearies, you can all go ahead in and see her.....and who is this?" Says Mrs. Cake.

Dylan looks at the ground shyly and says, "I-I-I'm Dylan."

"Awwww, you don't have to be shy with me." Says Mrs. Cake stepping out from behind the counter and gives Dylan a quick hug. "Now all of you go ahead and go see Pinkie."

They all head into the kitchen while Mrs. Cake goes back to the counter. When they entered the kitchen The pink pony that was mixing looked at who came in the room. Suddenly she Gasped and was right in front of Dylan. Dylan Backs up a step but she follows him and is bouncing and talking.

"OHMYGOSHI'VENEVERSEENANYTHINGLIKEYOUBEFOREWHATAREYOU?AREYOUAHEORASHE?DOYOULIKECUPCAKES?HOWABOUTCANDY?OHIKNOWHOWAOBUTITHOWYOUAPARTY!!!!!!" She says very loudly and very quickly.

"W-W-What?" Asks Dylan.
