The Return of Pancakes
Pinkie rubbed her chin as she pondered the question. It certainly wasn’t a problem she herself had faced before. Normally with spirits, you kept them as far away from each other as possible. This though… this had promise. Possibilities ran through her mind with what she could do with total darkness and flashing lights, both seemingly from nowhere. “Sunset, I do believe I have a solution!”
Sunset gave Pinkie a small smile as she swallowed hard. As much as she knew she needed help in this regard, and that the odd pony next to her was probably the best advisor she could get, she couldn’t help but feel like one day this pony would lead her to insanity, and by then, she’d be okay with that, and she wasn’t okay with that. “So, what is it?”
She grabbed Sunset’s cheeks and pulled the yellow mare in close, their faces centimeters away from each other. “Breakfast.”
Sunset blinked a few times before her eyelids drooped with her tone. “What?”
Pinkie slipped a foreleg around Sunset and gestured to the air. “Just think about it. The two know you want to make a great breakfast, but you need their help. Chilled fruits and cold juice alongside something baked over fox fire would be perfect! Now, the only question is what to make. Muffins are out of the question, as Derpy would kill me if I made muffins while she was out of town.”
Sunset smirked. “How about war inducing pancakes?”
Pinkie turned to her and licked her muzzle. “Explain.”
She grinned slightly. “Well, Celestia likes them enough that she almost assaulted a griffon diplomat who said they were junk, and that was seven years ago. I hadn’t perfected them by then.” Sunset jumped slightly as Pinkie grabbed her face.
“I need these pancakes.” She stood away from her and turned to look outside. “You know what you must do.”
Sunset tapped the wooden floor and bit into her cheek. “Actually… can I borrow some ingredients from you? I’ve only been here a little over a week and still haven’t had a chance to stock up on food.”
A pink cloud of smoke was all that remained of Pinkie, until a low rumble started up. Sunset looked out of the window just before Pinkie charged through it, bringing along with her a mountain of ingredients. Sunset’s legs twitched as she found herself half buried between sugar bags. “I don’t need this much!”
Pinkie heard the muffled scream and trotted over. “Did you just say you needed more?” Another muffled scream met her question and Pinkie shrugged. “Sorry, but I don’t get my paycheck until Tuesday, so you’ll just have to work with my emergency supplies.”
Sunset finally got her head free, but instead of saying anything, simply glared at the loud pony before crawling through the ingredients, slowly making her way to the kitchen.
======+++++======
“Eat me!”
“Gladly!”
Trixie glared at the abomination of nature as it was eaten by pink pony. It was odd to see a cursed one so far from the deserts of Saddle Arabia and the caves of Nihon-Po, but it wasn’t impossible. I suppose such druids aren’t only for such lands though. She flinched as Pinkie chomped down on half of Poslicel the thirty-eigth.
Her gaze then turned back to the creator of the unholy creations. Twilight however, wasn’t seeming to care. Instead, she was eagerly creating juice and popsicles for Sunset and her new friend. She agreed with the others though in wishing that Pinkie would eat them faster, instead of always hearing the tyrant’s voice before its death.
“Eggs, and then I need your fire Trixie.”
Twilight frowned as Trixie got to work. As nice as it was to use her ice magic for creating nice treats, she wished she could actually help in making the pancakes. Then again, I still didn’t get any, even after our… debate, back in the castle.
Sunset took off her apron as she sat back down next to Pinkie. “So, what now?”
Pinkie nodded and turned to Trixie. “So, you two seem to know each other. Can we know the story of how your burgeoning romance begAiii!” Pinkie almost hit the ceiling as her rooty potootie became way too warm. Sunset merely glanced away, pretending to not have done anything, even with her cheeks burning.
Trixie scowled. “The Great and Wondrous Trixie would never think of such vulgar things with a cursed creature like that thing.”
Twilight rolled her eyes. “You’re the one that likes to curse. Little Spike’s ears didn’t need that.”
Sunset put a hoof to Trixie’s mouth. “Wait. Just please, think for a few moments as to how bad she really is when she talks like that.”
Trixie bit into her cheeks and sucked in the corner of her mouth. Twilight gave her a small smile, but the kitsune simply looked away. Not that she could deny the truth of course. The wraith had had plenty of chances to be nefarious ever since they first met, and not once had she acted on those desires. At least, unless she has been doing something over this week at Canterlot.
Twilight floated over. “Sunset seems to want us to be friends, so maybe we can be?”
Trixie glanced over at the hoof being extended to her before sighing and taking it. “Trixie supposes that she can see if you aren’t actually evil. However, she won’t simply drop her guard because we say we’re friends.”
Twilight nodded. “Now, let me see those tails. They look so fluffy, and I want to see if I can make Spike a new pillow.”
“What, no! Trixie will not be touched any further by your tainted filth, especially if it means losing parts of her beautiful tail!”
Sunset scowled as a small timer dinged next to her. “Can someone please grab the pancakes?”
Twilight stopped dead in her tracks, spotting her chance to help in the main course’s creation. “I can!” Her horn glowed a sickly green before letting out a small pulse of magic that sent chills through all of them. The whole room became silent as they all just waited.
Creak. Stomp, stomp, stomp.
A large manticore skeleton stepped into the kitchen and every pony simply stared at the beast that gently took the pancakes off. It then poured more of the batter onto the pan and turned back to them with a large smile.
Sunset screamed, “What in Celestia’s name is that?” Pinkie jumped onto it, and Trixie barely stopped herself from lobbing a light grenade into since the pink pony now rode the beast. Twilight merely smiled with her tail swinging behind her. “Everyone, say hi to Fluffy!”
“Kill it with fire!”
“I’m trying!”
“Nice to meet you Fluffy!”
This continued for about an hour and ended with a destroyed kitchen, singed bones, and pancakes for all, and a manticore skeleton that continued to smile.

I want this manticore.
Doesn't Twi still owe Big Mac an apology?
A weekend trip to rainbow falls that results in frozen rainbows flying through the air and dive bombing tourists.
FLUFFY! Why are the nice gentle manticores always named "Fluffy"?
Anyway, Loved the chapter especially the "Fluffy" part
.... Twilight is foalnapped by the eidolon of Nightmare Night and forced to make it the best
halloweenNightmare Night ever.Or in terms of serious suggestions, Celestia stumbles upon the most uncomfortable tea party of her life: Twilight sitting in the gardens at midnight with Luna sharing tea with Fluffy, Tibbers (Luna's pet possum from the comics), and a random mustachioed skeleton with a monocle.
6070037 eidolon?
Perhaps something regarding one of the episodes? Maybe have Gilda come through and get a little karmic retribution in the form of a certain wraith chasing the griffon out of town.
6070046 I know I opened this can of worms myself, but I'm trying to avoid simply retelling events of the show. Still, I'll give it some thought.
What if Twilight got curious about the other elements of harmony and decided to follow them for a day. Chaos happens when Twilight shows herself.
6070039
An eidolon is a physical manifestation of an idea or concept.
6070081 Hmmmmm
What about an obsessive exorcist or paladin in Canterlot, who observes Twilight in her daily routine (and sees evil intentions in everything she does) and tries to exorcise her.
6070093
I'm reminded of this other fic featuring a paladin Bon Bon, and her marefriend the necromancer Lyra Heartstrings.
I can guess who that was
we need more necromancer twaith(nightmare night helpers)
twaith training montage,after beat down from the nightmare, she doesnt want that to happen again ever(cthulhu is the teacher, whistle and all)
twaith raising a grave yard but forgetting the G
twaith and Cthulhu need some more fluff time, you have the chance to ship something that has never been shipped before(trust me ive searched)
make it count
celestia/sunset/both see them in an emberassing situation(twaith/cthulhu) and the run away while the others try to explain
twaithulhu shipping intensifies while celestia watches/monitors their date
i need diplomats questioning why its so cold in the castle right before twilights restraints break and they get a true chill through their spine
6070037
that is what i need/ my ideas/ comments
make of them what you will
i liked the previous cover art more
Good chapter.
6070378 I know, but I got very tired of the confusion. Sorry.
6070442 An skeleton manticore even more so!
Fluffy never stopped smiling. Which would be kinda impossible for him even if he tried really, really hard.
Because he is a skeleton, yoh ho ho ho.
6070438
Don't sweat it.
Its just that the new one looks kinda boring in comparison.
the previous one showed the fact that she was if not a creature of dark magic, that she was involved with said magic.
It also conveyed the the humorous nature of the story very well.
Here it just looks like she's traveling instead.
oh wait...
now i still made you sweat...
dang.
6070503 What? And I know this one isn't perfect, but again, I got REALLY tired of the confusion.
Great, another Manticore named Fluffy... Wonder what would happen if it met mine. Probably much tea would be had.
Actually, idea between Fluffy and looking at my avatar. Fluffy goes for a walk in Canterlot Castle, comes across Luna, who tries to slay the 'foul beast that has invaded her room' and/or Celestia, Blueblood, really could do a lot of things with a skeleton manticore.
Someone or somepony really needs to make so fan art of Fluffy.
awww thats cute
6070518
i know
6070034
Sometimes they're also owlbears.
Bringing fluffy to a pet playdate?
Well, the next evil spirit would logically be Discord...
Well you added a romance tag...so use it.
More Fluffy. A lot more Fluffy.
Or more of Twilight's pets. Oo, oo, oooo!!!
A hydra skeleton named Cookie!
6071641 Why Cookie? I would think legion might be funnier.
6071671
Because cookies are rough and so are scales. And cookies are sweet, and Twilight thinks Cookie is sweet, too.
I want to see Pinkie inquiring about what the romance tag is about
6070055 Not saying you need to do it exactly. Maybe just stress how events would change with the difference in the story rather than doing the whole thing. If you want an example, think of Tatsurou's Terrific Technocolor Technomare and it's last chapter. How the difference in the character just changed the little things but not derail the entire story.
6071678 ok that would be funny
And kinda weird. BUT still funny.
This is highly amusing.
As is this.
FLUFFY!!!
6070106
What is it called?
I knew that skeleton she summoned had to have some purpose
This. This is perfect.
Foreshadowing mutch
