//------------------------------// // Did Somepony Say Cupcakes? // Story: Logical Randomness // by HyperBlossom7 //------------------------------// "Twilight, we're out of cupcakes, " Spike said walking out of the kitchen. Twilight was currently reading a book on dimensional magic when she heard Spike walk in from the kitchen. At his statement she froze, hearing the key word 'cupcakes.' Ever since she had become Pinkie Pie's marefriend, she had developed an obsession with cupcakes. It was partly because of the taste, and it was partly because of Pinkie Pie. After all, the party pony worked at a bakery and naturally she was skilled at making baked goods. "What. Did. You. Say?" Twilight asked Spike slowly. "Um..." Spike swallowed, seeing the half frightened half mad expression on Twilight Sparkle's face. "We're out of cupcakes." Spike had barely finished his sentence when Twilight went dashing into the kitchen. She checked all the cupboards, she checked the fridge, she even checked under the sink. The kitchen was completely void of cupcakes. Twilight tried not to panic as she ran to her secret stash, which was in her bed. Actually she had two. One was underneath a trapdoor under her bed, and one was in one of her pillow cases (which she took great care not to sleep on). Twilight Sparkle checked both locations only to find no cupcakes. Now it was a problem. "Twilight, are they really that important?" Spike asked cautiously. Twilight whirled around towards her assistant. "You don't understand Spike. Cupcakes are VITAL! If I don't have a cupcake, and Pinkie Pie finds out, she will be sad. You don't want to see Pinkie Pie sad do you?" "Well no..." Spike began. "Exactly! Which is why it is crucial that I go to Sugar Cube Corner straight away!" Twilight Sparkle explained. "Now you're in charge of the library while I'm gone. Bye!" Twilight hurried out the door without another word. She ran down the streets of Ponyville, quickly thinking about how to get more cupcakes without Pinkie Pie finding out. She also really hoped Pinkie Pie wasn't at the shop right now. That would only make things worse. Twilight Sparkle was so deep in thought she didn't see the farmer pony before she crashed into her. "Well hey Twi-WOAH!" Applejack was cut off as Twilight sent them both tumbling to the ground. Twilight blinked, realizing what she had done. She pushed herself off of her friend and held out a hoof, helping Applejack up to her hooves. "I'm so sorry about that Applejack, I have to go to Sugar Cube Corner right now," she explained quickly. "Well all right then, y'all be careful okay?" Twilight nodded. "Of course Applejack." She smiled and ran past Applejack, continuing her way to the shop. She finally reached Sugar Cube Corner and went inside. She saw the Cakes doing business. There was no pink pony in sight. Twilight let out a sigh of relief and went to Mrs. Cake. "Hey, do you happen to have a batch of cupcakes available?" she asked, hoping to grab a box before Pinkie Pie saw her. "We do!" said Mrs. Cake. She went to one of the shelves with various boxes of sweets and got some cupcakes. She hoofed the box over to Twilight who took it gratefully. "Thanks so much, Mrs. Cake!" she said. Then to herself she thought, "Disaster averted." Just then, Pinkie Pie walked in. She saw Twilight and beamed at her marefriend. "Twilight!" she bounced over to her happily and gave her a hug, followed by a kiss. "Whatcha doing here?" "Um..." Twilight sighed, knowing she had been caught. Besides, she couldn't lie to Pinkie Pie. "I'm really sorry, but I ran out of cupcakes. I didn't want to tell you because I thought you would be upset, please don't hate me." Pinkie Pie giggled to Twilight's surprise. "Oh Twilie, I'm not upset! The fact that you're out of cupcakes means we can have fun making more!" "Oh, well good point Pinkie Pie," said Twilight with a giggle. "In that case, would you like to make some more?" "Abso-tute-ly!" Pinkie Pie squealed. "Come on!" Twilight followed Pinkie Pie excitedly into the kitchen. The two ponies got to work. Twilight was still a little new to the cooking process, so once again Pinkie Pie taught her how to make cupcakes. This time they made cotton candy cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes with sprinkles. At one point, Twilight got cotton candy in her mane. "Gah!" she yelped, tugging at the cotton candy. She ran a hoof through her mane, trying to take out the cotton candy. Pinkie Pie giggled and came over putting both hooves in Twilight's mane and trying to comb the cotton candy out. Both ponies ended up getting cotton candy all over their hooves and faces (due to Pinkie Pie trying to use her teeth). When Pinkie Pie started vigorously tugging at Twilight's mane, the unicorn yelped in pain. The tugging caused both of them to fall over, and get tangled up even further. "Pinkie Pie!" Twilight cried, the party pony laying on top of her, her flank covering Twilight's face. "Woops!" said Pinkie with a giggle. She rolled off of her and stood up. "Ugh...we need to wash up," said Twilight with a grimace. "But we're already a quarter through making this batch of cupcakes. We have to finish!" Pinkie Pie protested. "Fine..." Twilight reluctantly agreed. They finished making the cotton candy cupcakes before going to get a bath. Once done, they returned to the kitchen to make a second batch of cotton candy cupcakes. Then they made three batches of chocolate cupcakes with sprinkles on top. Now Twilight had a total of six batches of cupcakes, including the one that the Cakes gave her. The two of them decided to celebrate by eating the first batch of cupcakes they had made. They sat at one of the tables in Sugar Cube Corner and ate together. Pinkie Pie noticed Twilight had gotten some icing on her nose, and she giggled softly. Pinkie Pie leaned over towards her marefriend and licked the icing off. This caused Twilight to blush, and she smiled slightly. Twilight nuzzled her marefriend lightly and finished the cupcake she was eating. Then she scooped one up and fed the cupcake to Pinkie Pie. The pink party pony allowed Twilight to put the whole thing in her mouth, and she chewed while making 'mmm' noises. Then Pinkie Pie took a cupcake and fed it to Twilight. Twilight giggled and ate the cupcake, licking the icing off of Pinkie Pie's hoof. The earth pony and the unicorn finished off the batch of cupcakes together. Pinkie Pie kissed her marefriend goodbye and Twilight took the remaining five batches back to the Library with her. She allowed Spike to have a few before stashing the cupcakes away and returning to her studies.
