A tall, six foot purple dragon and an orange unicorn mare walked into the busy streets of Ponyville. They were passing along the early transited streets and then stopped at a little stand where a maroon earth pony stallion was selling sugar canes.
“I would like to buy three sugar canes.” Spike said.
“That will be two bits, please.” The stallion took out his hoof and Spike gave the merchant the bits. The earth pony then gave Spike the three sugar canes he requested. The duo once again walked into the busy streets of Ponyville to buy the rest of the supplies.
When Spike had checked off everything in his list about what Twilight requested him to get, it was around the afternoon and as if on cue, his stomach rumbled. He smiled ashamedly at Sunset and said for her to follow him to Sugarcube Corner. They walked for a few minutes until they came to the doors of the bakery. The duo walked inside and were greeted by a hyperactive pink mare.
“Hi Pinkie!”
“Hi Spike! Who's that behind you?”
Sunset walked in front of Spike and introduced herself.
“I'm Sunset Shimmer.”
“Hi Sunset! Welcome to Ponyville! You're new around here right? Will you be my friend? I am friends with everyone here in Ponyville, well except for you of course, but if I can't be your friend then I won't be everybody's friend and if I'm not everybody's friend then I'll be really super duper sad and if I'm really super duper sad then…-”
Pinkie paused for awhile to take a deep breath to resume but was cut of by Spike.
“I think she gets the point.”
Pinkie then asked Sunset again if she could be her friend while she made the puppy eyed face.
“Fine, I'll be your friend.”
“YAY!”
Pinkie Pie then jumped up and down really fast until she became a pink blur that would rival Rainbow Dash's record time. She then calmed down and gave a pink envelope to Sunset.
“Here's your invitation to your welcoming party!”
She then dashed out into the kitchen.
“What was that all about?” asked Sunset while arching a brow at Spike.
“Oh, that's just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie.”
Sunset didn't understand what he was trying to say but decided to not question it. She then looked at her invitation.
An invitation to my welcoming party…?
She then opened the pink envelope and read its contents.
Welcome to Ponyville!
You have been invited to your own welcoming party! Please arrive Saturday at 7 PM at Sugarcube Corner.
- Pinkie Pie
Sunset looked up from reading the invitation and then tried to think what day it was. She then remembered it was Thursday, she only had two days to get prepared for her welcoming party. She abruptly stopped her planning and shifted her gaze to Spike.
“So let me guess. Buy a dress?” She said sarcastically.
“Pretty much.”
Spike then walked next to the counter and ringed a little bell that was to his left. As soon as he rang the bell, Pinkie came up from the counter and asked if she could take his order.
“A dozen of cupcakes. Half gem encrusted, the other half frosted.”
“Okie Dokie Lokie”
He then sat down at a table that was close to a window and gestured for Sunset to sit down opposite of him. The orange mare sat across from him and asked what else he had to do.
“There's nothing else I have to do, except get you prepared for your welcoming party of course.”
“Well, do you know somepony who sells dresses and such?”
“I know a unicorn mare that may help you…-”
Spike was cut off when Pinkie showed up with a tray full of cupcakes.
“Order up!”
“Thanks Pinkie!”
“No problem Spike.”
“Oh and Sunset…”
Sunset looked at Pinkie with curiosity.
“Yes?” the orange mare replied.
“I forgive you.”
Sunset arched a brow at her.
“I haven't done anything bad to you…”
“No, I forgive you for what you did to Twilight.”
Sunset stopped munching on her cupcake and asked how'd she know about that.
“Just a hunch.”
Pinkie then left the room before Sunset could even ask her anything. Sunset looked at Spike with an annoyed expression on her muzzle.
“You told her didn't you?”
“I didn't tell her anything.” he raised up his arms in defense.“She most likely knows it because her Pinkie Sense told her.”
“Pinkie Sense?”
“I would explain it to you if I could but it's just way too complicated to understand. Twilight learned it the hard way.”
Sunset began to ponder about this “Pinkie Sense”. If Twilight learned it the hard way, how bad did it get for for the lavender alicorn?
“How bad did it get?”
Spike chuckled and then whistled a little before answering.
“Twilight even regrets what she tried to do to understand how Pinkie's Pinkie Sense worked. She got to the point where she was in a wheelchair.” Spike started laughing hysterically.
If this is how bad it got for Twilight, I'd rather be safe than sorry. I don't want to end up in a wheelchair…
Spike stopped laughing and stated that it didn't end there.
“It even got to where she was at the hospital. It was there when she finally gave up.”
“I bet it was tough for Twilight not being able to explain the unexplainable.”
Spike waved his dismissive claw at her. He soon began to reach for another cupcake that wasn't encrusted with gems. He was going to grab it when an orange hoof landed exactly where his claw was. They both looked at each other and removed their hoof and claw away from the cupcake while blushing crimson red away from each other.
What just happened? She just touched my claw! However, she does look kinda cute when she blushes…Wait, what am I thinking? Even if I wanted a relationship with her, it wouldn't work. She's a unicorn while I'm a dragon…
Did I just touch his claw? How did this happen and is he blushing…? He does look kind of adorable though…Wait, what?
“I'm sorry for touching you.” They said in unison.
“Ok, I'm sorry.” They once again they ended in unison.
“You can have the cupcake.” Spike rapidly said.
“Wha…?”
“I said…” Spike said with a sly smile, “You can have the cupcake.”
He then grabbed the cupcake with only using his index claw and thumb and directed his claw towards Sunset.
She took it and ate it, enjoying the sweet, sugary taste of the delectable treat.
“Enjoying it eh?”
The orange unicorn nodded in response. Spike chuckled and suggested if she would like to go back to the library.
“Alright, but first you must help me eat this.” She pointed with her orange hoof at the cupcakes. “So many treats for a mare is quite uncouth.” She finished her statement with sarcasm.
“Such torture! A unicorn cannot command a dragon to do anything but because I have a humble heart, I will help you…take it to the library.”
He then asked Pinkie if he could take the remaining cupcakes to the library and in an instant, Pinkie held a cardboard box to place his cupcakes on.
“Here you go!”
The duo soon walked out of the bakery into the little town of Ponyville.
