Bubble Berry was at the Carousel Boutique bright and early, unusual for him since he usually preferred to sleep in. But this was a special occasion for him, as Elusive had created a new ensemble his latest party. “Are you ready to see it Bubble?” Elusive asked with a small chuckle, holding his hands over his friend's eyes as Bubble bounced hyperly.

“Yeah i'm ready to see it! Show me, show me, show me!!” Elusive laughed and removed his hands, revealing the bright pink tuxedo and top hat.  Bubble Berry walked over and looked interestedly “hmmm...”

Elusive's smile faltered. “D-do you like it?”

Bubble nodded “Yeah...but can the top hat be a cupcake? With sprinkles?!” He looked excited and bounced as he asked “Huh? Can I, can I, can I?!”

Elusive frowned and shook his head firmly, “I'm sorry Bubble, but you MUST retain more class than that. I mean, seriously, a cupcake? It ruins the outfit.”

Bubble Berry stopped bouncing “But it's a PARTY outfit! It NEEDS a cupcake!”

“No!”

“Cupcake!”

“I said NO Bubble!”

“MAKE IT A CUPCAKE!” Bubble berry walked up, glaring at Elusive as he stood close.

Elusive pushed him away slightly “I said no, and that's the end of it!”

He turned away, or rather, started to before Bubble's punch sent him in the other direction. “It's MY outfit! You ARE going to make it a cupca-”

Bubble never finished the sentence as Elusive's fist connected with his jaw, sending him to the floor. Bubble jumped up immediately, blood trickling from his mouth as he glared at Elusive, whose left eye had turned black. Without a further word the two started hitting, kicking, and biting at each other, randomly yelling 'Cupcake!' and 'No!' throughout the altercation.

“Hey Elusive, I have that book you wanted on advanced stitchi- WHAT'S GOING ON?!” Dusk Shine's lavender magic encased the both of them, sending them to opposite walls.

“He wouldn't make my top hat a cupcake......”

“He wanted a CUPCAKE for a top hat! A CUPCAKE!”

Dusk sighed, another typical day with his sometimes erratic friends.

Bubble's Diary - I can't believe me and Elusive fought over a stupid top hat! I mean SERIOUSLY, A TOP HAT! But, I guess we're all silly ponies now and again, hopefully he's not still mad at me... Also...Something was...weird when we fought.... I didn't feel it at the first punch but..afterwards....it felt good....Not when he hit back......but when I hit HIM, when he crumpled beneath my fists as I held the power..the rage....as I hurt him......I feel terrible, but I loved it, more than any party.......Maybe Gummette can help me if I tell her....Unless she's mad at me for fighting....oh I don't know what to do anymore! - Bubble Berry

Elusive's Diary –

Journal entry # 236

I'm so, so just, disgusted with myself. I actually got in a fight! Not just that, but with a client. Oh, I guess it's just so hard to imagine, but with Bubble Berry! I hit my FRIEND! How low have I sunken? How far have I fallen to not only debase myself with such a barbaric act, but with someone I should never feel any need to harm. Though, if I'm entirely honest, I don't think I was even focusing on hurting him. I don't know how else to put it but, looking back. I could have definitely hit him harder. It was almost like I was trying to, bait him. It was like part of me just wanted it to go on, wanted to BE hit. What the hay is wrong with me?! Oh, dear. I think I need to rest. Perhaps Onyx will be able to comfort me. I couldn't have truly liked it, could I've? ~Elusive
