"Now there you are!" A pony shouted over the crowd as a black and cherry red haired earth pony galloped to the two unicorns when they got back to the station.

"I almost thought the train was late when I didn't see you on the platform."

She wore a clean chef's apron and hat and from what Evening could see, her cutie mark was a slice of delicious looking chocolate cake with cherries.

"Sorry about that Miss Cake...I had a bit of a-"

"Miss cake?" Rarity asked as she looked at the earth pony.

"That's right. The name is Black Forest Cake. I'm Cup's little sis. Your rarity right?"

"Yes that correct."

"I heard about you from Celestia herself. She orders our signature EverFree forest cake every month on the dot. You helped save all of Equestria."

Rarity flipped her hair and struck a pose.

"It was really nothing."

"How about I treat you to some good old home baking. That train food had to be just awful. Only the least I can do."

Evening hung her head and grabbed her bag with her teeth. She was used to this. Being a third wheel.

"Now from what I hear from Cup is that you are to be treated like one of the family. So I'm guessing your now my unofficial niece."

Evening stopped and blushed.She set the bag down.

"Miss Cake I-"

"No more Miss. Its Black Forest, Evening Dream. If Cup thinks of you as family, I'll consider you apart of it too."

"Thank you Black Forest...I don't feel like I deserve it though."

"Ah shoot, don't be such a negative noodle. Your my niece after all. Let old Aunt Forest take care of you and your friend on your birthday."

"Yes, ma'am."



"This cake is simply divine!" Rarity exclaimed as she finished her slice of the dark rich chocolate cake with vanilla icing and cherries.

"Recipe has been in the family for generations. We cakes every generation add something to it, making it better and better. Cup turned them into cup cakes while I keep it in original form."

Evening looked down at her slice of cake and took another bite. She really didn't have anything like that in her family. Black Forest sat down on at their table with a slice of cake as well.

"So Evening, you wanna talk it?"

She looked up.

"Your not the only one that lost family in the accident....My little bro was on that train too. Took a lot of courage to get on another one didn't it?"

"Yeah...Only way to get to Canterlot unless you can fly or are in good with the princesses."

"If you need me to leave-"

"Nah its alright Miss Rarity. You probably don't even know what we're talking about." Black forest reassured her.

"Well...No its alright. I just thought it best if we change the subject."

"Yeah best we do. Evening what do you want to do for your birthday? I got the cake covered."

"Leave the rest to me Black Forest. I know how to pull a few strings."

"I knew I liked something about you Miss Rarity."

"I have no say in this do I?" Evening asked to the table at large.

"Nope!" The two ponies replied.
