Cake- Flutterguy89

Written by Flutterguy89

Ever seen a cake sit outside in the sun on a hot day. It's a tragic sight. The frosting melting in little puddles, the fondant sliding off or cracking. It's sooooo super duper sad! And a wedding cake!? It's like you can hear the tragedy it's so tragic! It's like-

"Pinkie would ya cut that out!" Applejack's twag cut in from across the other end of the impromptu dressing room.

"But I was just setting the scene, doing a lead it, playing narrator!" Pinkie Pie replied, bouncing up and down as she did.

"First off, remind me to give Twilight a slap on the flank for teaching you so much about books. Second, Fluttershy's a nervous wreck as it is. I don't think she needs any more of your narratin' to make things worse!"

"....is it really that b-bad... Pinkie?" Came the timid shaking voice of the one of the brides-to-be.

Specifically the one with a yellow coat, long pink mane, and anxiety issues on the best of days, not the one with cyan coat and Rainbow mane, she's getting ready elsewhere. After all it's bad luck for the bride to see the bride in her wedding dress....wait where was I? Oh yes! Today was the best of days, it was a wedding day! Her wedding day! So that means it could be super stressful-rific, means it could be a bad day too! Hehe! It was the best of days, it was the worst of days-

"I swear to buckin' Celestia, Luna and Discord, if you keep that up I'm gonna make you wish you hadn't" The orange cow pony threatened, her own nerves stretched thin.

"Okie Applejackie, no more narration, I swear." The pink party pony replied, crossing her heart. "But yeah... It's pretty bad, Fluttershy... But melty cake is still cake. That just makes it easier to eat, you won't even have to chew."

Fluttershy whimpered and pawed at the ground nervously. She had just wanted things to be perfect, and now the cake that she and Rainbow had put so much time into selecting just the right flavors and just the right icing, was melting away in the sun. Not to mention how devastated the Cakes were going to be to see there hard work gone to waste, all because the day was unpredictably warm.

"Hey there sugarcube, it's just the cake..." Applejack said attempting to placate the bride.

Fluttershy felt herself start to tear up, but she rapidly suppressed the tears as best she could. She didn't know what Rarity would say if she walked down the aisle with smudged make up.

"She's right," Pinkie chimed in. "It's just the cake, and trust me, that isn't easy for me to say! I love cake! So much so I hear the Mayor is thinking of passing something called 'Pinkie's Law.' But that's not important, the cake isn't what today's about, it's about you and Dashie!"

"Listen to the gal," AJ supplemented, "She's right on the money. Sure it would have been nice to have some big fancy cake, but that's not why everyone is here, and it ain't why you and Rainbow are here. Today's about love, the rest is just details."
Fluttershy nodded, hearing the truth in her friends' words.

"Y-yeah... It's about love... It's about love... It's about love..." She repeated her new mantra until a grin spread her lips. "Okay... I'm ready. Let's get this wedding started!....um... If that's okay with everyone..."
