The only sound in Canterlot castle was the soft pitter-patter of hooves. Through the empty hallways and rooms a shadow moved furtively, nearly silent as it passed through in nary a whisper. So secretive was it that one could not tell what exactly it wanted.
No guard had caught sight of it, nor did any servant. Where it creeped one did not spot, for the lurker did not want to be seen. Hidden was its drive, secret was its mission.
Finally, after navigating hall after needlessly long hall, it arrived at a door. Slinking to the corner to be enveloped by the shadows better, it reached out with a hesitant hoof and opened the door. With hardly a glance down the hall to make sure none followed, it dived through the open doorway, the door closing with a soft click behind it.
The room was in complete darkness. Then with a blinding white flash the lights were turned on, the silent intruder having to blink their eyes for a few moments to clear them of the light’s glare. After a few seconds of wait for their eyes to adjust, the sneaker of the night finally had an opportunity to gaze around the room.
It was all white, the only speck of color being the gleam of chrome from a few kitchen appliances and utensils. The floor and countertops were all scrubbed clean , while the kitchen tools were organized for the next day’s duties.
Without hesitation the intruder raced silently to the refrigerator doors, its hoof hesitant as it rested on the handle, an air of excitement surrounding the mysterious figure. After a few moments of deep breath to control their eager nerves, it opened the door, cool steam wafting out as the chilly interior was revealed.
There, resting all alone with the refrigerator bulb illuminating it in a splendid light, was a piece of cake on a plate. So alone, yet so delicious in its glory. Chocolate with pink and white frosting atop it with an added wave design on the sides. A single cherry rested on top to complete the look.
“Celestia?” the cake spoke, stoic in its expression as it gazed at the one who opened the door. “What are you doing here?”
“I couldn’t keep away,” the princess said, the white alicorn gazing down at the dessert with a pleading look. “All I could think was you, my love.”
The cake sighed, holding still under her troubled gaze. “Celestia... you know we can’t go on like this. It just... it just won’t work.”
“We can make it work!” she tried to assure him, grabbing hold of his plate and bringing his sweetness closer to her lips. “Please, I’m sure we can!”
“How?” he asked, not bothering to look at her. “How could we ever make our love work?”
“Love always works in the end,” she told him, smiling lovingly as she leaned in closer. “I just know it does.”
The piece of cake remained silent for a few seconds longer, its face hard to read. Then a chuckle started to bubble through. “You have much hope in us, Celestia. More than me. Guess that’s what drew me to you in the first place.”
Celestia smiled in relief, not ruining the moment with words. Instead she laid down on the cold kitchen floor, the presence of her beloved treat keeping her company. Her eyes closed in bliss as her lips slowly brushed along the cake’s surface, a few crumbs and wisps of icing collecting there. With an eager tongue she licked her lips, enthralled by the taste of her love.
“My love...” the cake began, hesitant with her approach. “What I am worried about is what others would think of our love.”
“They don’t have to think anything of it,” she assured him, lifting him closer so she can stare him in the eyes. “I am the princess. My word is law. They’ll just have to live with it.”
“And so will we.” The cake seemed to slump slightly, his icing no longer looking as frosty as before. “I am merely a lowly dessert. Not baked by the best of the best. Not made by the rarest ingredients available. Just a simple cake that has no right to be graced by your tastebuds.”
“Hush you,” Celestia commanded, holding a hoof to his mouth. “You are much more than a lowly dessert. Your texture is exquisite. The icing that graces your top is of the most delectable sweetness I have ever tasted. Your creamy filling leaves me licking my lips for ages. Even your cherry, that one, single cherry, makes you more beautiful than you can imagine.”
A single strand of drool fell from Celestia mouth as she leaned in closer, her tongue just barely resting over the surface over the pastry. “Now take me, my sweet.”
“Yes, my dear Tia,” the cake whispered, his urge for her as great as her for him.
No words were spoken. None needed to be said. It was only a mare and a piece of cake. Chocolate, I might add. They were lost in one another’s embrace. Lips smacking together could be heard, along with the occasional moan in pleasure. It was passionate lovemaking, and for that one moment, no one could judge their love. Except for a video camera hanging in the corner of the kitchen.
Princess Luna trotted down the halls of the castle, checking in every open doorway she could see. All night she had been trying to reach her sister, but Celestia could not be found in her room, or anywhere else in the castle. A few more minutes and Luna feared she would have to call the guards to start for the missing princess.
Suddenly her ears caught the sound of crunching. Growing more curious by the second, Luna peeked in the open door where the noise was coming from. There, leaning back in a comfortable looking couch, was Discord. The reformed spirit of Chaos and Disharmony was currently munching on some popcorn, staring lazily at a large plasma screen television that took up the entire wall of the room.
Luna’s eyes opened farther in wonder as she gazed intently on the screen, shocked at what she was seeing depicted. “Is that... Tia making love to a piece of cake?”
“Eeyup,” Discord answered in a country accent he had suddenly picked up, returning to his usual voice with another bite of popcorn. “Chocolate this time.”
Luna’s face twisted into a squeamish look as the events on screen started to become more... physical. And with the volume for the television up high, the sounds of pleasure soon grew to a crescendo.
Looking over at Discord with an arch of her eyebrow, she asked, “So, this is how you spend your Saturday evenings?”
“Every week,” he answered, snapping his fingers and causing a soda to appear next to him. Sipping at it, he turned to her and shook the popcorn bag. “Popcorn?”
Glancing back at the screen, then at Discord, then back to the screen and once more at Discord, she shrugged her shoulders. “Eh, sure, why not?”
She made her way and sat down, Discord scooting over to make room for her. Then the two spent the next several minutes staring at the screen, sharing a popcorn bag between them. Overall, a pretty nice way to spend a Saturday night.
The chef yawned, smacking his lips lazily as he opened the kitchen doors. He needed to make breakfast for the princesses, and then prepare for another royal party in the afternoon. He had a busy day ahead of him, so he set about getting his kitchen ready for the rest of his staff to arrive.
Going over to the refrigerator to grab some eggs for an omelet, his face quickly transformed into a grimace as he stared at the floor before the refrigerator doors.
“Oh, come on!” he yelled in disbelief, once more finding a mess in his oce spotless kitchen. “Every Sunday morning someone makes a mess with a cake all over the floor. Every time! Don’t ponies have any decency?”
Scowling at the mess he had to clean once more, he noticed that he accidentally stepped in some of the it. “And what the hell is this sticky liquid everywhere?”
....man, now I want some cake too. Or to BE that cake.
Oh god...
This made me LOL so hard!!!

Oh I gotta read this
Now we need a Celestia-Cake-Twilight threesome.
How did this get to the feature box? I thought there was an unofficial rule that a fic had to be over 4,000 words to be featured.
2806239
Not anymore! So I am abusing the system while I can!
Swag.
2806269
Oh, well then... abuse away.
Damn it.
You did it again did you.
Damn it Bob, if you make a mess in the feature box yet again, atleast have the dece- nah i'l just stop right there.
Great fic man, great fic.
Although i do like the saying; Oh no, Rainbow made a no no in the feature box again.
*slowly takes off glasses*
This....is....
AMAZING.
You've done it again.
That ending.
Erhm... what... I... what?

2805665
Agreed.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat did I just read?
Bob, this will have some serious repercussions for me.... A 40 hour day lies ahead of me, and I will now spend six of those wishing I had cake.
Oh, and you're now
aboveequal to the Joker on the Insane-O-Meter.HOW?!
I do believe that liquid is known as smegma.
I kinda wanna know what other odd things Celestia does when she thinks no other pony is looking.
Well, shit.
Im a big fat guy, so i really love cake. But not that much.........yet.....hmmmmmm? Hey wife! Bake me a cake and then go away for a while!
Very fun. BTW, you're missing a word: start looking for the missing princess.
I...forgive me, I've lost my words. I'm dying of laughter at the Luna and Discord part, and I'm so glad I followed you!
And we are so glad you don't
Call me a racist, but I first imagined the cake to be white-frosted angel food cake with coconut shavings?
I demand to know that sort of cake this is. I've had it with generic cakes (insert here) !
That was hilarious! Great job!
ThAT was the funniest and most insane story i have ever read!!i am littlealy laughing my head off at the moment! this is so going in my favorites!!! GOOD JOB,GOOD SIR!!!
I salute you
That was quite possibly the best romance fic I have ever read!
Aaaah jeez I enjoyed that! I'll admit that at first I thought their love making would simply be Celestia eating the cake, and that the camera was put there by Luna. So even in that short span you surprised me twice!
Oh dear God have mercy. So much ridiculousness. I just can't handle it...
Pretty decently written! I noticed a couple grammatical mistakes (which I thought I'd point out), but other than those, all seemed in order!
–The only sound in Canterlot castle was the soft pitter-patter of hooves.
If "Canterlot castle" is intended to be the name of said castle in Canterlot, then I believe that the word "castle" should be capitalized.
–The floor and countertops were all scrubbed clean , while the kitchen tools were organized for the next day’s duties.
Whoops, there's a space before the comma here.
–“They don’t have to think anything of it,” she assured him, lifting him closer so she can stare him in the eyes.
Since this story is on ye olde past-tense, "can" is incorrect.
Aaaaand I think that's all I have to say for this story! Good day, sir! (or madam!)
