I rubbed my eyes with my hooves and looked at my calendar. Today was October 15th, MY MOM’s BIRTHDAY???!!!? OMG! I totally forgot! I’m supposed to go bake for the surprise party me and my sister was planning!! How could I forget! I hurriedly tip-toed down the stairs towards our kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and saw my sister Vanilla preparing the ingredients. “What took you so long?? You know how long I was waiting for you???” Vanilla whisper-yelled at me. “Sorry Vanilla, I forgot all about it…” I mumbled looking down at my hooves, ashamed. “Ugh its okay Creamy, lets just get started. You’ll bake the cream puffs and I’ll bake some Cupcakes.” Vanilla said. We immediately got to our tasks. I turned the cookbook to the chocolate cream puff page, who doesn’t like chocolate? I got some eggs, and milk from the fridge. I then got the coco powder from the cabinet… ——Magical time skip*—— I glanced into the oven, the chocolate cream puffs and cupcakes were baking nicely. “Vanilla did all the ponies reply to the letters?” I inquired Vanilla. “I think so, here you can check. They’re in the cabinet over there.” Vanilla responded. I nodded and went to check the letters. My eyes scanned the addresses of all of them. “I’m pretty sure they’re all here Vanilla.” I told my sister. “That’s good.” She replied. Ring* Ring* Ring* the oven timer rang. We quickly opened the oven door, hot air instantly blew in our faces. We got some wing gloves and took the desserts out with our wings. I took in the sweet glorious smell. “Lets taste test one of each!!” Vanilla giggled, licking her lips. I smiled and carefully picked up a cream puff and took a bite out of the delicious treat, while Vanilla was doing the same to a Cupcake. But, the first thing I noticed wasn’t the enchanting taste of the piping hot chocolate in the cream puff, it was, okay maybe that was the first thing I noticed. But, then I noticed a blinding light coming from vanilla’s flank. “Vanilla!! You’re flank is lighting up!!” I exclaimed. “Huh?” She said confused and turned to her flank. Suddenly the bright light dissipated and a cutie mark appeared on her flank. It was a Vanilla Cupcake. “You’re cutie mark! You’re cutie mark Vanilla!!!” I exclaimed. “WOW!!! I got my cute mark!!! Its so awesome!! A vanilla cupcake!! I always thought you would get yours first. THIS IS SO AMAZING!!!! SQUEEE~!!!!!” Vanilla rejoiced jumping all around the kitchen. I beamed happy for her. “Its almost time for the party! I’m going to go change and wake mom up.” I told Vanilla. “Sure, I’ll do that too. I can’t wait to show mom my amazing cupcake cutie mark!!” Vanilla said. I climbed up the stairs ro my room and opened the door. I swiftly made my way to my wardrobe looking for something good to wear to the party. I went to mom’s room, met Vanilla there and we jumped on to the bed. “MOM!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!” we yelled in synchronization. My mom startled woke up. “Wha Huh?” My mom mumbled. “Its your birthday silly mommy!!” I giggled. LOOK I GOT MY CUTIE MARK!!“ Vanilla rejoiced jumping around our mom’s bedroom. “What is it!!!?” My mom said intrigued. “ITS A CUPCAKE!!! SQUEEE~” Vanilla screamed some more. “Mom some ponies are waiting for you downstairs, you should get ready.” I told my mom. My mom quickly went to the bathroom to get ready. “Oh and get a dress.” I added. Me and vanilla looked at each other. Everything was going to plan. We scurried down the stairs and started bringing out the treats we made. ————————— Vanilla and I heard the creaking of the door, and swiftly told everypony to hide. I turned of the lights and galloped to hide behind the couch. My started walking down the stairs, “Girls? You there?” My mom asked confused. “SURPRISE!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!” We yelled at the top of our lungs. My moms eyes started watering, “Thank you so much everypony!!” “Aww mom you get too emotional!!” Vanilla said. “Let me bring you to my friends.” My mom grabbed me by my hoof. “Aww is this your daughter? She’s so cute!! I think she should be a model!” They started talking about you. I was just standing there, it became awkward so I began to slowly walk away until I bumped into Vanilla. “There you are Creamy!! Try my Cupcake!!’ She beamed and stuffed a Vanilla Cupcake into my face. “It tastes great!! You try my cream puff! ” I said stuffing a cream puff into her face. “Oh Cream we meet again, have you got your cutie mark yet?” One of my moms friends asked. “Um no…” I mumbled. “Is that so? Then I think you will be a model when you grow up. But you will have to learn to eat with better manners dear.” “Ok…. ” I replied kind of confused. After a little while, we decided to go to the mall for some lunch. When we were looking for somewhere to eat, some pony walked up to me. “YOU! I photo finish! I believe you have the talent to become the star! Here is my number, if you accept!” Photo finish quickly said handing me a slip of paper. “What was that about?” vanilla joked. “Apparently she thinks I can become a star?” I said not really sure. “OMG!! Thats amazing!!! That must be your special talent!” Vanilla cheered jumping up and down once again. —————————— After a really long time, the party ended, like it was already night. Although, we did go to the mall and shopped a lot… Me and Vanilla were worn out from the amazing party. So, we were to lazy to shower tonight. I tiredly walked up the stairs and started brushing my teeth. I took one more glance in the mirror with my dress on and took it off. I jumped into my cozy bed and thought about todays events. It sure was fun, but my mom’s friends seem to keep on thinking that I will become a model. Well that pony did come up to me… Should I accept her offer? I sighed, at least I don’t know my special talent yet. Still a blank flank, I thought looking to see my blank flan— “What the heck?” I whispered out loud. I saw something on my flank. I moved my blanket around to get a better view. I gaped. There was a Cutie mark on my flank! Should I tell mom and Vanilla? Maybe not now its pretty late. It seams to be a Cream puff? Maybe I got it when Vanilla got hers, but we were so focused that we didn’t realize!! But, should I really tell them? All the thing about being a model is making me nervous. I feel like now I know thats not my special talent I’m letting them down… Maybe I can just hide it for now… I’ll see what I do I guess… No pony I ever knew could tell the future…
