> Good Old Pinkie Pie! > by MLPkillers > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A Gummy Problem! Morning Rush! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie Pie just woke up; starting her day as usual; she discovered her pet: Gummy was missing. She frantically ran downstairs; she was greeted by Mrs. And Mr. Cake; who had a line of customers waiting for their pastries. “Pinkie Pie! Your mane is a mess; what’s the rush?” Mrs. Cakes asked with concern for her resident worker. She grabbed a cupcake with pink frosting and sprinkled stars on it, giving I to its buyer; this put a smile on his face and he ate it walking out of the bakery satisfied with the service he just received. “It’s Gummy... He must’ve gotten out somehow?” Pinkie Pie frantically said with worry for her pet. Mr. Cake gave away a cake; struggling to keep it from falling; Pinkie moving nervously, worrying about Gummy. “Well... Dear... We did have a gigantic sugar tooth this morning; it’s possible.” Mrs. Cake said with sympathy. She walked over to Carrot Cake, deciding to help him with the delivery since Pinkie Pie is awake; while they are gone, she will watch the shop and take orders. “Who’s that cake for?” Pinkie Pie curiously asked her employer; who wanted to hurry and make the trip to the customer’s house with the cake; it’s not very that weightless you know? “A pony who... Don’t like to wait.” Mrs. Cake said strugglingly; this cake is very heavy; who even wants a cake This big and dense? Hope they aren’t planning on eating it alone or they will probably get nauseous. “I don’t think anypony would like to wait for their cake; especially of that size!...” The Cakes agreed with Pinkie Pie; this cake is heavy and they need to get a move on. The pair walked out of Sugar Cube Corner; leaving Pinkie Pie in charge of the shop. “But... Gummy!?...” Pinkie Pie disappointedly said. She needs to find her pet; to any other pony this would be agitating, but she’s the party pony who tries to give everyone smiles, she attempted to and most of the time accomplish That. “If we... Find Him... While we are out... We will grab him and bring him back.” Mrs. Cakes exclaimed; catching her stamina, all she could think about was to get this weight off her back and hopefully into a couple of ponies’ stomachs. “Pinkie promise?” Pinkie Pie said depressingly. She wanted to find her pet so bad, now she can’t because she has to take the orders of the line and her employer. Mrs. Cake, as well as Mr. Cake, felt bad for not letting Pinkie found her pet, but they will return him to her if they find him? They both performed the pinkie promised; expressing sympathy for their employee “Hate to be rude... Can you take charge of this line so I can get my pastries?” “Yeah! I already assumed you would leave me in charge of the line by leaving me in charge.” Pinkie Pie giggled, The Cakes didn’t because of the weight on their back, they said their goodbyes and left to the customer’s house; they will make a successful delivery --- Pinkie was under a little pressure; she didn’t expect this many ponies to be buying pastries this early in this morning. “Here you go; you too; and you, and you.” The pink mare said happy! Hiding her anxiety. She started to gasped from the exhausting, there’s too many sugar tooth this morning; Pinkie Pie wasn’t discouraged! In fact, she was far from it as she accelerated with accuracy. Every customer was satisfied with her service and of course, the yummy pastries entering their mouths and flooding their taste buds. She looked at the line; feeling more anguish fall upon her. She started to make to increase her speed even more; not letting the ovens get a break. She handed out some already made cupcakes; decreasing the line. (”Oh! The oven!”) She rushed to the oven; opening it; 3 cupcakes flew out and hit customers. The other customers laughed; they earned the hot cupcake to their face; it burned, this was no laughing manner; because of the laughter, animosity started to grow in the line. “Laughed at that!” He threw it back, hitting a customer in the back of the line in the face; where he gets the cupcake from? Your face! The shop turned into a Cupcake fight, repainting The walls and decorations. When Pinkie comes back to service more customers, she will feel overwhelmed by the sight of the new and less improved modeling. “I’m back-!?’ Pinkie said in shock by the sight of cupcakes on the walls, floor, and even the new decorations, it looked like one to two of the new decorations were breaking. Pinkie Pie spotted a cupcake heading for her head, she ducks to avoid the pastries. “No, don’t throw the cupcakes; eat them!...” Putting the tray on the counter; feeling disappointed and upset; she thought she would be in charge of a respectful line; she was wrong by 15 feet. She looked around the shop; seeing broken decorations scattered across The ground. “Stop!” Pinkie desperately yelled, feeling like she was the cause of this mess; the customers ignored the pink mare; a continent with their unacceptable behavior. “The store is closed!” Mrs. Cake yelled with fury. She walked inside and switch the sign to close. She turned to the customers; one of which threw one at a blue mare, while still looking at Mrs. Cakes. The ponies started to exit the bakery, feeling like they should report the place, but it was understandable why they closed it; They may not get their pastries, but they gave them an alternative job to complete as karma. “How did all this happen!?” Mr. Cake exclaimed in confusion. The pair approached the Pink pony, who looked disappointed and guilty. “I heard you say stop.” She said smiling at Pinkie Pie; alerting her employee it’s not her fault for this mess; if it was she wouldn’t have attempted to put it to a halt; she also looked distraught. “Gummy’s still missing...?” The pink mare said with sadness in her tone; she failed them and her pet. “We searched around for him; in fact, if we didn’t do that; maybe we could’ve prevented this catastrophe.” Mrs. Cakes explained nostalgically. They couldn’t find him anywhere. He must still be here somewhere? “Thanks for looking for him... I’ll clean this mess up.” Pinkie Pie disappoint said; she will take the responsibility for the shop because she allowed it to happen on her watch. “Mr. Cake walked aside Mrs. Cake. Not alone you’re not.” The two parties said together. They will clean this mess up with Pinkie Pie; she has it tough enough, why make it worse? Pinkie Pie grabbed the mop and started to mop up the pastries; while the cakes clean up the decorations; throwing some of them out. “Sorry about your decorations...” Pinkie Pie guilty told her employer, who felt bad for Pinkie Pie; the pink mare lowered her head. “It’s not your fault Pinkie...” Mrs. Cake said with tenderness. Pinkie Pie is an excellent employee and friend to have around the shop; not let’s forget how she always tries to put a smile on ponies’ faces; she shouldn’t feel depressed. “We’re going to have to put on the sign a certain capacity allowed in this shop.” The pies shook their head in agreement; the shop got out of hand, not to mention the ovens were seriously overheating to the point where you would have to unplug it to cool itself or it will break. Pinkie was finished mopping the floor; grabbing the rag on the counter; it was already submerged in cleaning liquid. “Woo, Pinkie dear, look for Gummy; we got this.” Mrs. Cakes exclaimed generously to Pinkie Pie. She wanted her to look for her pet and to feel better; it again wasn’t her fault for the cupcakes to be thrown around like a frisbee or a toy of some sort. “You... Sure...?” Pinkie Pie said cheering up. She did respect how generous the Cakes were. “Yes, I suggest Inside the bakery first, just to be clear.” Pinkie felt overwhelmed with joy; she hugged Mrs. And Mr. Cake; they both dropped their supplies. “Oops, sorry...” Pinkie Pie apologizes in a joking manner; she is sorry tho. “It’s okay Pinkie, now!... Find Gummy. Pinkie Smiled; Thinking of finding Gummy and embracing the alligator with love. She thought of the places he could be hiding, planning to head to them. > Search for Gummy! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie began to check behind the counter; which was the cleanest place in the bakery: post Cupcake fight. (He’s not upstairs, no need to check up there.”) She checked the sink, the counters, cabinets, and... “You’re in here?” She party pony said to herself, hoping her pet would be on a cake. She had Pounded her face into a perfectly cooked cake. She licked the frosting off her face., she knew and would clean the cake up later, right now she needs to find her pet; she would forget about that cake on the counter later. She finished cleaning The frosting off her face with her tongue. “Yum!” The party pony said in the delight of the cake she didn’t think to ruin. She started to walk out of the kitchen; thinking Gummy possibly could’ve been in that oven she didn’t let rest. “GUMMY!” The pink pony, in panic, ran to the oven and opened it; she eyed the interior top-bottom; she’s lucky the oven was off for around five-ten minutes, or else she would’ve experienced some pain; she pulled away from the oven; it’s still Hot to cause her forehead to sweat. “Phew...” Wiping her forehead; Which has been sweaty from all the work she has been doing today; and the oven she carelessly put her head in. “Oh! I know!” The party pony said joyfully to herself, she had an idea. She opened Gummy’s food, with hopes he would come down. Twilight walked into the bakery. Confused about what’s happened; why is the place a mess she wounder, remembering it’s a bakery. “Oh, hello Twilight!” Mrs. Cakes gladly greeted her Twilight, who still looked unsure and concern about what happened to this place (bakery.) “What happened here?” Twilight asked with a little shock; it looked like a hurricane hit this place; Pinkie Pie looked like she was searching for something very important; was it really necessary to put this bakery in this position? Twilight mistaken the events of the cupcake fight for Pinkie Pie’s search for Gummy. “Customers decided to have a...” Mrs. Cakes had to catch her stamina, Lifting the coat hanger that the Cakes forgot to fix after; this only reduced her stamina again, she again had to catch her breath. “Food fight... Or should I say Cupcake fight?” Pinkie Pie nostalgically said. Twilight wasn’t going to let her friend have to finish all these decorations; she decided to cast aclean spell; repairing the decorations and the mess. “You didn’t have to do that, Twilight. Big thanks tho! You want a complimentary cupcake or pastries? My treat, special for you!” “No thanks. Do you know what’s Pinkie Pie up to?” Twilight asked curiously, it looked like again, Pinkie Pie was searcing for something very important; maybe she can help find it? “She’s looking for lost pet Gummy.” Mrs. Cakes said, feeling sympathy for Pinkie Pie. Twilight forgot who Gummy was; at first she thought about the sweat treat, but she remembered the baby applicator who was still teething. “When did he go missing? Twilight asked concern about the baby alligator; if he’s in danger and making her friend feel down and worried. “When Pinkie awoke. That’s what I’ve heard...” Mrs. Cakes exclaimed, remember feeling exhausted from searching Ponyville for the baby alligator. “Where is she at now?” Twilight asked not seeing Pinkie Pie in the kitchen anymore; she must very love and want to find her pet. Mrs. Cake turned to the kitchen. “She was back there?” Mrs. Cakes said with confusion; where could Pinkie have gone off to? Pinkie by pass Twilight; Twilight’s mane became a wreck due to the wind gust. “Oh, Twilight, didn’t see you there!” Pinkie Pie explained embarrassed why she ran pass and messed her mane up by mistake. “Pinkie Pie; what’s got you flustered? It would’ve seem Twilight forgot what Mrs. Cake told her. “Gummy’s missing! I don’t want to ask you Twilight, but-!?” “I’ll help you find him.” Twilight declared to her friend; her hippocampus resurfacing again on the events. “Really!?...” Pinkie Pie disbelief, but at the same time knew she would help her. A smile formed on the pink mare’s faces. “Sure. Where was he at last?” Twilight askecd, wanted to take charge in finding Pinkie Pie’s lost pet. “Upstairs in his bed. He was sleeping last time I saw him.” Pinkie exclaimed; remembering him layinbgnin his bed at night that she had fixed up for him before laying down; she saw him in it sleeping when she woke up in the middle of the night. “Did you check upstairs completely?” Twilight asked the obvious question that would make her friend looked like she lacked common sense. “No.” Pinkie Pie replied to her friend; she felt stupid replying with that answer; she brushed it off knowing Twilight ain’t that type and she had to deal with a line of immature customers. “Let’s search upstairs then?” Twilight suggested to her friend who weekly already agreed before replying. “O-key Dokie!” Pinkie Pie replied happily. Twilight and Pinkie Pie went upstairs; Twilight almost slipping on the mess, precisely the cupcakes frosting. “Hold on Pinkie!” Twilight yelled for her friend to halt. Pinkie stopped heading to her destination. Twilight, again, cast a clean spell. She started to make her way to Pinkie; stopping at the door; aside from her pink friend. “Pinkie.” Twilight called her friend in a little frantic tone. Twilight Turned her head to Pinkie. “What?” Pinkie Pie said confused why Twilight called her name. Pinkie opened the door slowly. “I’m not going to find cupcakes all over the place up here, am I...?” Giving her friend an anxious expression. Pinkie laughed; how would cupcakes from the fight down stairs get through her bedroom door? Twilight so silly sometimes, but that’s something she shouldn’t be saying. “No, my door was shut silly, tehe!” Pinkie exclaimed, almost laughing at Twilighg for being silly and paranoid. “You sure?...” Pinkie grabbed her in the room; startling her and causing her face to have a fear expression. “Wait!-!” Twilight yelled before being pulled into Pinkie Pie’s room. Pinkie walked over to the curtains and opened them to their fullest. Twilight covered her eyes to prevent the blinding from the sun. “You could’ve warned me!...” Twilight covered her eyes with her hoofs, sheltering them from the sun’s brightness. The purple Unicorn looked down at her hoofs; she felt a sticky and squishy texture; she was discovering she had stepped right in a cupcake; which texture was sticky. “Pinkie! I thought you said there would be cupcakes all over the place!?” Twilight rudly reminded her friend. She would have to use a clean spell to clean her hoofs by casting a spell once she leaves the room. “That’s just one cupcake!” It’s not: all over the place, tehe!” Twilight searched her surroundings; finding cupcakes on the dresser and the floor by the dresser; why in Celestia is there cupcakes everywhere in Pinkie Pie’s room; oh wait, it’s Pinkie Pie, haha. “Why is there so... Many cupcakes everywhere?” Twilight asked really wanting to know why there’s cupcakes everywhere, in the room. “Midnight desert.” Pinkie Pie responded in the most ridiculous way possible. “Listen, Pinkie... If I find Gummy underneath the bed-!” She lifted the blankets and illuminated her horn. She grabbed a certain green alligator with magic. “Hey Pinkie Pie found him!” Twilight wanted to laugh, but as a good friend, she didn’t. Pinkie rushed to Twilight in disbelief. Twilight put him on the bed. Pinkie grabbed him, hugging him; after putting her bag on. “Thanks So... Much Twilight!” Hugging her friend with relief and gratitude; Twilight really is smart and caring for her friends. “You know... Our friends are expecting us at a lake not too far south from here, for a picnic? Want to join us?” Pinkie bounced up and down. Grabbing some cupcakes and putting them in her bag; you didn’t have to ask her twice. “Let’s go!” Pinke Pie exictingly said, stopping her bouncing. “Alright Pinkie; don’t make a mess with those cupcakes...” Twilight teased Pinkie Pie with the cupcake fight; making Pinkie a little defensive. “That was the customers! Not me!” Pinkie Pie jokingly and defensively said. Twilight let her held back laugh out. “I know.” Twilight reminded Pinkie it was a joke, using a sarcastic tone. The pair made their way downstairs. They were greeted by Cakes. “Did you find Gummy?” Mrs. Cakes asked in hope they did. “Yeah huh! Twilight did.” Pinkie Pie happily gave credit to her purple unicorn friend; who was glad to help. “He was under the bed. I... Pretty much jinxed it... Twilight proudly claimed. Twilight remembered binding she would find him under the bed. “You didn’t check underneath the bed?” Mrs. Cakes asked Pinkie Pie, who looked embarrassed by Twilight explanation; she also felt a little dumb. “Sorry... Tehe!” Pinkie Pie excusly replied, feeling irresponsible for her pet being lost and not check-in the first place imaginable. She put those emotions to aside as Gummy was found and there’s no use in feeling bad about events you can change. “We’re off to a picnic. Want to come along?” Twilight bluntly invited the Cakes to the picnic. Maybe they can have a little brake? Especially after today. “Well... The shop is close due to that disaster... Why not?” Mrs. Cakes exclaimed, Mr. Cake agreeing with her. Twilight, Pinkie, Mr. And Mrs. Cake made their way to the picnic. Pinkie’s friend would have a good laughed from the story they will hear about how Pinkie lost Gummy and found him.
