The Candymaker

by Peppermint Swirls


Chapter 3

Ponyville was, as usual, a bright town, although most of the citizens were still asleep. With a quiet, empty town, it would be easy to spot the Candymaker...
“What about Sugarcube Corner?”the yellow filly asked, confident that the Candymaker was in the presence of the Sweet Treats store somewhere.
“you’re right, but is Pinkie still asleep?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Let’s go! Questions later!” The orange filly, Scootaloo, stormed ahead, to the large pink building.

Sugarcube Corner, was, as it’s name says, at the corner of Ponyville, and home to many assorted sweets. Only five ponies reside at the building, the two employers, Mrs. Cup Cake and Mr. Carrot Cake, and their employee, Pinkie Pie, lives on the attic of the building, The last two were the Twin baby Cakes, Pound and Pumpkin, were born only a few months ago.
Now, Sugarcube Corner had just opened, the only pony currently working was Mr. Cake, a lanky, yellow stallion with an orange mane and a broad jaw.

The three fillies went inside quietly, seeing as the entrance was quite compact and there were only two Ponies, besides the fillies, currently available, it was easy to spot the seafoam-green mare.
"There she is!" Scootaloo exclaimed, pointing a bright orange hoof at the mare.
Sweetie Belle gasped, half worried, and half relieved, “Mi—“
The seafoam Mare quickly heard the flly, and trotted over with a careful, quick pace.
“What are you doing here, Marshmallows?” she whispered, Her 'sixth sense' trying to find Mr Cake.
“i—I thought you were missing or something…” Sweetie Belle whimpered, her eyes brimming with tears.
Minty sighed heavily, “I was buying some ingredients for a breakfast. But I guess we could go to a café…”
Apple Bloom giggled, "Don't scare us like that, Minty! next time, tell us what you're going to do!"
