A Cursed Soul

Chapter 13

Before nightime. Ponyville. 3rd person.

The Puppet was following Twilight and Nyx, still drawing some attention, but none looking at him fearfully. It was only when they were outside of.......'A giant gingerbread house?' The Puppet thought in his head. "Twilight, what is this....thing?" He asked motioning to the ginger bread house.

"Hmm? Oh this is sugarcube corner. The place where Pinkie lives. Since Nyx got an A+ on her show and tell today I thought a treat was in order." Nyx eyes lit up with excitement before dashing inside at a Pinkie run......more of a blur than a dash.

Twilight and Puppet then entered the doors Twilights muzzle filled with the wonderful aroma of sweets. The Puppet.....smelled nothing. Since he doesn't need to breath and has no nose holes. Nyx was waiting by the counter jumping up and down in excitement a wide grin on her face.

Just then Mrs. Cake came from out back noticing Nyx jumping up and down made her giggle. She then noticed Twilight and Puppet. She smiled at them before waving them over to the counter. "So what can I get you three today?"

Nyx was the first to answer. "I'd like five scoops of vanilla ice cream. A bowl and spoon please." Mrs. Cake then turned to Twilight.

"And what is it for you Twilight?" Twilight then thought of her decisions before answering.

"I'd like three chocolate cookies and a....oooh...strawberry ice cream cone." Mrs. Cake then-you know what- Cup Cake then wrote down both their orders before turning to the Puppet.

"And what can I get for Puppet?" She asked confusing the Puppet before he remembered that he saw them at the party. He simply pointed a finger at his immovable mouth. Cup Cake then looked at him apologetically. "Oh I'm sorry dear I forgot you couldn't eat."

Puppet waved a hand at her. "Its alright, they'll get used to it eventually." Cup Cake gave him a smile before turning to Twilight and Nyx.

"So is that all today dears?" Twilight and Nyx both smiled before nodding. "Alright then this should take a couple minutes so have a seat." She then walked back into the backroom.

They both chose a booth next to the window Twilight and Nyx both sat next to each other and the Puppet sat across from them. Twilight decided on some small talk with the Puppet. "So Puppet would you mind showing me the song you played for Nyx?" He was about to answer, but the sounds of crying diverted their attention.

Cup Cake then came out from the back room quickly trotting over to them with their sweets on her back and two foal S in her hooves. Twilight then levitated the food from Cup Cakes back and onto the table. While they were eating Cup Cake tried to make them sleep, but they kept crying. Then a music box started playing.

The twins then quickly fell a sleep while Cup Cake looked at the music box and bits that were left on the table the music box with a note that says 'For you' Cup Cake smiled.

A couple yards away the odd group walked away from sugar cube corner. Twilight looked at the Puppet with a smile which confused him. "What?"

Twilight then answered. "That was a nice thing to do for Mrs. Cake. The only time they can stop crying is when Pinkie pours flour on herself." She then giggled remembering the time she walked in on Pinkie foalsitting. She took a picture of it and put in the group scrapbook. "But what I'm saying is that Will really help the Cake family in the long run. You have a good soul." She then continued to walk on.

The Puppet thought over what she told. 'I'm a good soul?' Then an image of the nightgaurds popped into his head. 'No, I'm a cursed soul.' The sun was going down by the time they reached the castle. Twilight opened it with her magic Nyx then running off to her room. 'Probably to do homework.' He thought.

He followed Twilight into the map room grabbing a nearby book from a shelf behind her seat. She then remembered the Puppet. She then put the book back onto the shelf. "So Puppet, do you have any other melodies or songs?"

The Puppet thought this through before summoning a diffrent looking music box than the melody one. "Yes I do. Only I'm not the one who made these songs it's as if they were made from watchers of me and my friends." Twilight looked at him curiously. "Alright then let's play this one. Its also random every time." He then wound it up where it let out a beautiful song.

By the time it was over both Twilight and the Puppet had a tear at the edge of their eyes. "That was....beautiful." She then took notice of the time. "Spike should have dinner ready by now. You can come if you want." At first he didn't answer her.

"I'll be right there." Twilight then left the room leaving the Puppet alone with his thoughts. "Am I a good soul?" Like the first time the images of the nightgaurds appeared before an image of his new friends replaced it. "Maybe, just maybe."
