You know there's a lot of things a person would do for a cupcake (or a Klondike bar) but what would they do for a PERFECT cupcake?

A short story of when Pinkie Pie, Derpy Hooves and Rainbow Dash coming together to create the perfect batch of cupcakes, but turns out they used all their favorite ingredients on the entire batch. Did they bake the perfect cupcake or the perfect muffin? ( And don't go off of the picture for this fiction!)

For the sake of actually calling it a short story I made two versions, one is the story without the filler and things that happened to the trio aren't told and/or shown once they've gotten to the end of the story. The other version is the ENTIRE story, so go nuts and read the extended version with extra stuff thought up from out of my head! Enjoy and choose wisely hehehe!
>>>Short Version is completed!
>>>Filler Version is completed!

[I've noticed a lot of typos in the "Filler Version" and plan to fix them some time! >o<]

The Perfect Cupcake! [Lazy and Short Version]

"Alright girls, do you know why we're gathered here today!?," Pinkie asked demandingly, trotting left to right in front of Rainbow Dash and Derpy Hooves.

"Because you wanted to bother us 5 a.m. in the morning..?," Dash replied yawning.

"To make muffins!," Derpy shouted.

Pinkie pointed to Derpy. "Close! We're making a super duper batch of cupcakes!," She said.

Rainbow Dash wiped her eyes of the last bit of drowsiness. "Seriously, is that all?," She asked.

"Mhm, Mr. and Mrs. Cake went to deliver a huge chocolate sundae to Canterlot and they wanted me to bake the cupcakes!." She replied.

"Don't you mean "you" as in "you alone" to bake the cupcakes...," Dash stated.

"Well...technically," Pinkie pondered over the idea.

"I wouldn't mind, my mail delivering doesn't start until a few more hours!," Derpy said.

"Yea, well I got somewhere to be, so I'll just be going.," Dash said, drifting towards the front door of the bakery.

"Wait, Dashie, can't you stay and help?," Pinkie pleaded.

"Sorry Pinkie Pie, I don't have time to help bake cupcakes!," Dash replied.

"Pleeeeeeease?," Pinkie kept asking.

"Pinkie, for the last time Ihey, what the..!," Dash's hind legs were being held by Pinkie and Derpy, preventing her to make progress to the door.

"Pleeeeeeease?," They both said in unison.

Dash sighed. "Look, I heard the Wonderbolts were coming from Canterlot to Cloudsdale for some practicing and I gotta be there early!," She explained.

Derpy and Pinkie looked at each other, nodded, then turned back to Rainbow Dash showing big eyes full of tears.

Dash looked at the two with a serious expression. "I said no, now let me go!," She shouted.

Sad violin music started playing out of nowhere. "Where's that music coming from?," Dash asked, looking around. Soon her entire view was blocked out by Derpy's and Pinkie's faces with even bigger eyes full of tears. "Ah!" She said, freaked out.

"Pleeeeeeeease?," The two begged.

Dash heavily sighed and gave in. "Ugh, fine, let's just get this over with already...," She said closing her wings and walking back to the kitchen.

Derpy and Pinkie cheered for victory. "I knew adding an extra "e" would work, thank you Octavia!," Pinkie said, flipping two bits to Octavia.

"Anytime, Pinkie.," She said, carrying her violin out of Sugarcube corner.

"Let's go make some cupcakes!," Derpy shouted.

~*****~

"Alright girls, do you know why we're gathered here today!?," Pinkie asked demandingly, trotting left to right in front of Rainbow Dash and Derpy Hooves.

"To make cupcakes!," Derpy cheered.

"To make cup...wait, didn't we already do this, Pinkie?," Dash asked, glaring and Pinkie with and eerie look.

"You were supposed to say "to make cupcakes!" Dashie, now we have to start over...," Pinkie stated, sobbing.

Rainbow Dash flinched. "Uh, n-no, it's cool...we're here to make cupcakes!," She said, ending with a sarcastic smile.

"That's right, we're making a super duper batch of cupcakes!," Pinkie said, putting a chef hat on every pony.

"Wooo!," Derpy shouted.

"Okay, so what do we need to make the cupcakes?," Dash asked, trying to keep the hat on her head.

Pinkie grabbed a large bowl and answered. "Well I mostly put the things I like into what I bake!," She stated.

"Really?," Dash asked.

"Sometimes when I bake muffins I put chocolate chip, blueberry, raspberry, cherry, and even mint into them!," Derpy implied.

"So you two already know how to bake and you've got some pony like me who doesn't?," Dash asked.

"Yup!," Pinkie and Derpy said together.

Rainbow Dash shook her head and facehooved herself. "Gee, that makes so much sense...,"

"I know right! Now we should start up this batch!," Pinkie said, zipping around the kitchen gathering flour, sugar, and things she loved. Derpy did exactly the same thing, while Rainbow Dash stood there looking at the two speeding by with different ingredients. In less than three minutes the entire bowl was full and ready to be laid out and divided on a cooking sheet.

"Wow, that took like 10 second and you needed me? pfft.," Rainbow Dash said, rolling her eyes.

"Good job girls, so what did you add to the batch, Derpy?," Pinkie asked.

"Chocolate chip, blueberry, raspberry, cherry, and mint!," She replied cheering.

Dash's ears perked up. "Wait, you said those were the things you would put into making muffins!," She stated.

Derpy nodded her head. "That's right!," she replied.

"Ugh, next thing you'll tell me is that you put a muffin into a cupcake batch...," Dash said.

Derpy looked at Rainbow Dash in awe. "How'd ya know!?," She asked.

Dash gave a deadpanned look at Derpy and shook her head. "Aaaaaanyways...what'd you put in the batch, Pinkie? Since you bake cupcakes all the time, I'm sure you put normal ingredients in it.," Dash said.

Pinkie nodded. "Of course, I added sugar, spice, everything nice, some carrots, whipped cream, a four leaf clover, a rubber duck, apples, bananas, lemons, bubble gum, oranges, and one laaaaaaast ingredient...," Pinkie stared at the batch and a tail popped up.

"Gah!," Dash screamed,

Pinkie picked up the tail and it turned out to be Gummy.

"You tried to bake your own pet? Are you crazy!?," Dash asked.

"Of course I'm not, I wouldn't eat my little Gummy!," Pinkie stated. Gummy bit her mane and stayed planted there. "He'd probably not taste all that good!," Pinkie said.

"Wha," Dash facehooved herself again, and sighed.

"The last ingredient I added was this!," Pinkie said, holding a weird vile up with a label.

"Chemical...X?," Dash asked.

Pinkie nodded. "I'm not sure what it taste like, but I found it in a strange place.,"

Meanwhile In the city of Townsville

"I, Mojo Jojo, have temporarily immobilized the entire town and the Powerpuff Girls so that I can gain access to the Chemical X to start my unstoppable army, Muhahaha!," Mojo shouted, laughing maniacally in front of the frozen Powerpuff Girls.

"Um, that's gonna be a problem.," Blossom said.

"What do you mean?," Mojo asked with a serious look.

"Professor couldn't find his chemical X, he said it was gone.," Bubbles stated.

"Yea, so tough luck for you, monkey butt!," Buttercup said mockingly. The girls all started laughing at Mojo.

"What, NOOOOOOOOOO!," Mojo shouted to the sky.

Back in Sugar Cube Corner

"Yup...a strange place.," Pinkie said looking at the vile.

"So what did YOU add Rainbow Dash?," Derpy asked.

"M-Me? Uh...I added...," Dash started looking around the kitchen. "I added Gummy Bears!," She said.

Derpy and Pinkie looked at Rainbow Dash like she was crazy.

"Let's just bake the cupcakes already!," Dash commanded.

"Okey dokey lokey!," Pinkie replied, and with the help of Derpy and Dash, they put the batch on a cooking sheet and into the stove.

"Okay, so now what?," Dash asked.

"We wait!," Derpy cheered.

Dash groaned. "Wait? About how long!?," She asked impatiently.

Pinkie looked at the clock above the refrigerator. "About an hour.," She replied.

"An HOUR!? But I've gotta be in Cloudsdale in 40 minutes or I'll miss the Wonderbolts in action!," Dash reacted, flying around in circles, hoping that time would speed up for the cupcakes.

"Oh settle down, Dashie.," Pinkie said moving a pawn on the chessboard Derpy and her were playing on.

"Yea, you could find a way to kill time!," Derpy stated, moving her Queen.

"Oh, I can kill more than time right about now...," Rainbow Dash grumbled, looking at the two settled ponies.

Time passed and the girls were running out of things to do, until suddenly a ringer went off.

"Oh, they're done!," Pinkie said, putting down the golf club, along with Derpy and Dash.

"About time!," Dash said. She stared at the clock above the stove and noticed something. "...it only passed 15 minutes...," She said under her breathe. "An hour my hoof...,"

"Cupcakes here, cupcakes there, cupcakes almost everywhere~♪," Derpy sang, waiting for Pinkie Pie to pull out the cupcakes.

They gathered around the stove for the revealing, Pinkie slowly opened it to the point where all they saw was a hint of color then once it was completely opened, they gasped and their eyes sparkled in excitement.

"Whooooooa!," They all said in awe.

"Wait a minute, something's not right...," Pinkie said, pulling out a magnifying glass and observing the cupcakes.

"I don't see what's wrong, they look DELICIOUS!," Derpy stated, slightly drooling.

"Is it because they don'y look like cupcakes, but like muffins instead!?," Dash said, glaring at Derpy unpleasantly. "And why are they rainbow colored!?," She asked.

"Oh silly Dashie, why wouldn't they be rainbow colored, I did add a little of your hair in it after all!," Pinkie happily answered.

"WHAT!?," Dash said, shocked.

"Nothing~," Pinkie said, throwing the magnifying glass away. "I knew it, that's the problem!," Pinkie said.

Dash and Derpy looked at each other and shrugged.

"We have a LOT of cupcakes!," Pinkie shouted. She took the cupcakes off the stove and placed them on the counter.

"How is that bad?," Derpy asked flying overhead of the baked treats.

"For once I agree with Derpy, didn't we plan on making a lot of cupcakes...or muffins or whatever they came out as?," Dash said.

Pinkie shook her head. "No, no, the name of the story is The Perfect CUPCAKE, not CUPCAKES!," Pinkie stated with a displeased look.

"What are you...talking about?," Dash asked tilting her head.

"I mean we weren't supposed to make so many, wasn't there supposed to be some dramatic tragedy that was supposed to happen so that we'd be left with only one?," Pinkie asked, waving her hooves wildly in the air.

Dashed laughed and Derpy titled her head this time in confusion. "Pinkie seriously, whatever you're talking about is NOT going to happen, okay? Now let's just deliver those things and I can head up to Cloudsdale!," Dash said picking up the cooking sheet.

Pinkie sighed then Gummy jumped off her mane, landed on the sheet and immediately scarfed down all but one cupcake, then burped. Dash, Pinkie, and Derpy showed shocked expressions with their jaws dropped. Dash sat the cooking sheet back down on the counter and turned her focus to Pinkie, who was blowing bubbles from a pipe with a smug smile.

"Didn't see that coming!," Derpy said, snickering.

*****

Rainbow Dash covered her face with her hooves and started flying around the kitchen, Derpy kept tickling Gummy's belly as he laid beside the last remaining cupcake, and Pinkie Pie continued to blow bubbles out and went back to the cooking sheet and stared Gummy dead in his little green eyes.

"Dashie, you shouldn't be mad at poor Gummy for being hungry, that was just how the story was supposed to go.," Pinkie explained, throwing the pipe away.

"Yea, what has Gummy did wrong, it was part of the story.," Derpy added in, then she fled over to Pinkie. "What story are we talking about?," she whispered to her.

"Ugh, I don't know what you two are talking about, but all I know is that Gummy just ate my ticket out of here to see the Wonderbolts!," Dash shouted, crossing her hooves and pouting in mid air.

"At least we still have one left!," Derpy said sniffing the cupcake.

"She's right, we'll just deliver this one instead!," Pinkie said.

"Oh yea, like delivering one cupcake out of a dozen that were eaten by an alligator would make sense, how do we even know it taste good? And it STILL looks like a muffin!," Dash stated, still staring at Gummy angrily.

"You do have a point...," Pinkie said, putting some thought into the situation again.

"And you know what's worse!?," Derpy asked.

"What could be worse than what I just said?," Dash asked nonchalantly.

"We don't know if we have to put frosting on it or not!," Derpy shouted out then fainted.

Rainbow Dash shook her head at Derpy's comment. "Well I'm not wasting my time making another batch, so let's just use your idea, hey what are you," Dash's sentence was cut short once she saw Pinkie Pie licking the cupcake.

"What? I'm testing to make sure it taste good like you said!," Pinkie stated. She started lashing her tongue to savor the taste.

Rainbow Dash and Derpy Hooves stared at Pinkie as her whole body started to change colors dramatically, then she started making weird noises, then ended with a sigh of relief and delight.

"Um...," Dash and Derpy said.

"So...how was it?," Dash asked.

Pinkie's eyes were widened, then she took two tiny pieces off of the cupcake and shoved it into both of their mouths. "Pinkie, what the WHOOOOOOOA !," Dash shouted as she started to see muticolored shapes and animals swirl around in her vision, then she started to spin around, seeing everything Equestria had, but better. In the end a giant explosion occurred, making Dash return to reality.

"Whoa, that...was...AWESOME!," She said shaking her head.

"I'll say!," Derpy added on, putting her eyes back into their disfigured state.

"Well, was it delicious?,"Pinkie asked, anxious of their answer.

"W-well it's hard to say, I mean it's good but...," Dash scratched her head. "Yea, yea it was.," She admitted.

"I saw a bunch of dancing parasprites that had bear hands!," Derpy said.

Rainbow Dash stared at Derpy, unable to comment her. "Hey, I saw my fair share of crazy right now, so I'll let you off the hook on that one!," She said laughing.

"But...I'm not a fish...," Derpy stated bluntly.

"Wha," Dash favehooved.

"Well since we all agreed that this cupcake was tasty enough, let's head to Canterlot!," Pinkie said, raising her hoof in the air, cheering.

5 seconds later...

"And now we're in Canterlot!," Pinkie cheered.

"Wait, how did we just skip EVERYTHING that we had to go through just to get to Canterlot!?," Dash asked, freaked out.

"Oh that's because the writer would think adding too much writing into a short story wouldn't work and he also thinks that using too many played out cliches from the original show would ruin the effect of the story some viewers may find weird and too random for their taste, and by passing it all up he could instantly call this story a short story that he thought up in his mind by only looking at a picture of me, Derpy, and you staring at a delicious muffcake!," Pinkie explained.

"Muffcake..?," Dash asked.

"Ooh, it's a muffin and cupcake mixed together, right?," Derpy said.

Pinkie pointed to Derpy. "Bingo!," She said.

"Yay, Bingo, Bingo, Bingo, so what do I win!?," Derpy happily asked.

"You win a muffcake!," Pinkie replied, throwing the cupcake into the air to Derpy.

"Huh, wait NOOOOOOO!," Dash panicked, trying to urge the gray pegasus to cease her hunger, but she grabbed a hold of the cupcake with her mouth and immediately started to gulp it down.

Rainbow Dash's eyes were widened and she flopped to the ground in utter shock with her head hung down.

"Ah Pinkie Pie, is that you?," said a voice from the skies.

"Oh, hi Princess Celestia, how have you been?," Pinkie asked happily.

"Well, I've been rather well, a bit too busy so I decided to ask the Cakes to bake a special batch of cupcakes for me so I could relax a bit.," She explained.

Rainbow Dash put her hooves over her face in shame.

"They told me you were to bring the cupcakes as they brought my sister's sundae to the castle, so...do you have it?," asked the eager princess.

"Of course I do, it's right...over...here," Pinkie blinked her eyes and pointed to Derpy, who was finishing off the last of the cupcake.

Celestia stared at Derpy with a shocked expression. Derpy ate the last crumb and saw Celestia and Pinkie looking at her.

"That was one delicious muffcake!," She said.

"I bet it was Derpy...I bet it was...," Dash said, flying out of the scene.

"I saw a bunch of dancing parasprites that had bear hands!," Derpy said.

Rainbow Dash stared at Derpy, unable to comment her. "Hey, I saw my fair share of crazy right now, so I'll let you off the hook on that one!," She said laughing.

"But...I'm not a fish...," Derpy stated bluntly.

"Wha," Dash favehooved.

"Well since we all agreed that this cupcake was tasty enough, let's head to Canterlot!," Pinkie said, raising her hoof in the air, cheering.

She quickly placed the cupcake in the bag, grabbed it by her mouth and started trotting towards the door humming a song. Rainbow Dash flew in front of Pinkie, sporting a smile.

"Um, it's alright...I mean we should take our time getting there, haha...," She said with a distinct laugh.

Pinkie blunk her eyes once and felt confused. "But Dashie, we need to have this cupcake delivered really fast or Mr. and Mrs. Cake will be disappointed!," She muffled, still carrying the bagged treat in her mouth.

"Yea, Rainbow Dash is right, we should...uh...test taste it some more!," Derpy stated, nodding her head.

"But if we taste it more than we've already did, then the cupcake would," Pinkie paused and took the bag out of her mouth. "Hey, I see what's going on...you two love the cupcake so much that you'd wanna eat it yourselves!," She implied, gasping.

Dash and Derpy flinched and started showing signs of sweat tricking down their faces. "W-What? Nooooo, that doesn't even make sense!," Dash said laughing.

Pinkie crossed her hooves and pouted.

"Wait, Rainbow Dash, you told me to go along with the flow so that we could convince her to eat the cupcake.," Derpy said.

Dash's laugh turned into a rumbling grr. "Derpy!," She said with her teeth clenched.

"Aha, so I was right!," Pinkie said, pointing her hoof at Dash and instantly hiding the bag in her tail.

"Give me that cupcake or whatever it is!," Dash shouted, pouncing onto Pinkie Pie.

The two developed clouds of dust from their sudden roughhousing, then Derpy flew there looking at the two. "Ooh, ooh, I wanna join in too!," She said, jumping into the action.

Moments after fighting the three were separate, Dash and Pinkie were passed out breathing on the floor. "Why...did we fight *pant* again?," Pinkie asked tiredly.

"I *pant* forgot...why...," Rainbow Dash replied.

Derpy held the cupcake up with both of her hooves. "I got it!," She said with glee.

Rainbow Dash lifted her head up and quickly sped to Derpy. "Way to go Derpy, now let's have at it!," Dash said, eager to enjoy the delicious cupcake.

"Noooooo!," Pinkie said in slow motion.

"Yeeeeees!," Derpy also said in slow motion.

The two continued to shout in slow motion and Dash looked at both of them, gave a deadpanned stare and shook her head. Derpy started to near the cupcake towards her mouth, tension and suspense were present, Pinkie Pie started biting her hoof as if she were biting fingernails, and Dash had huge eyes and a mouthwatering grin. The moment the cupcake hit Derpy's lips, she pulled it away with a frown.

"Girls, I don't think we need to do this...," Derpy said.

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie stared at Derpy with silence, then sad violin music started playing. "We're letting this cupcake get in the way of our friendship and we're too blinded by desire that we couldn't see that, so shouldn't we put this whole scenario behind us and get us back to being together as friends?," Derpy statedwith a refreshing smile.

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie looked at one another then back at Derpy, then started shedding tears. "Wow Derpy, I...I didn't even know, I guess I was the uncool one here.," Dash said wiping away her tears.

"We all were the uncool ones here, Dashie, hehe~♪," Pinkie responded laughing.

The two ponies went to hug Derpy. "I do feel a little better now that I don't want to eat that cupcake, but what's more interesting is how you just told us all about us being friends!," Dash said laughing.

Derpy shook her head. "Oh no, the writer just put the entire script I needed to read on a convenient place on that desk over there!," She pointed to the script she read from.

"Oh...well still, it was nice of you to say all that!," Dash said.

The violin music started going into Beethoven.

Dash gave a deadpan look and turned around. " Would you cut that out already!?," She shouted.

Octavia immediately stopped playing and smiled. "Haha...sorry, got caught in the moment.," She replied.

"Derpy nodded her head. "Now we can all agree that we shouldn't let this cupcake come between us, right?," She asked.

Dash and Pinkie nodded. "Alright, then let's put this all behind us!," Derpy cheered, throwing the cupcake behind her and right through the window above the kitchen's sink.

Dash and Pinkie's jaws dropped at what she just did. "There, not it's behind me!," Derpy happily concluded, then she saw the two frozen ponies. "What's wrong?," She asked, then her ears perked up and she looked out towards the window. "Oh...oops, my bad...," She said with a sheepish smile.

A slight "dun-dun-dun" was heard by a piano. "Since when could you play piano?," Pinkie asked Octavia.

"I can play more than just a violin you know?," She replied, continuing to play.

Meanwhile in Canterlot Castle

Celestia stood outside of her sister's room, sighing nervously. "Okay, third time's the charm...," She said under her breathe.

Celestia put on her most humble face and knocked on her sister's door. "Um, Luna, could I please,"

"No way Tia, you're just going to force yourself onto it!," Luna yelled from inside.

"I-I promise I won't, please...I just want one lick.," Celestia replied with a smile.

"Oh suuuuuuure, just like last time when that one "lick" almost gulped it all down!," Luna huffed from inside her room once more.

"Oh come on, how could I resist it was just too...mmm, delicious!~," Celestia moaned in delight, then she blushed and covered her mouth in embarrassment.

"Just listen to the way you talk about it! And you speak to the ponies of Equestria with THAT tongue?," Luna sassed.

Celestia pouted.

In Luna's Room

There were dozens of glasses of ice cream sundaes sitting around the room and one giant sized one right in the middle. "Face it sis, the ice cream's aaaaaall mine!," Luna said snickering and levitating a spoonful of of the ice cream and eating it.

Back in Ponyville

Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle sat in the park finishing their large tower of cards. "There all done!," Sweetie Belle said proudly. "It's beautiful!," She commented with glittering eyes.

"I don't know Sweetie Belle, I mean... is building a tower of cards really a special talent?," Scootaloo asked looking at the tower.

"We have to try everything!," Sweetie Belle said.

The two fillies looked at their flanks for their cutie marks, but they didn't show. "No luck...," Scootaloo responded with a sigh.

The two fell to the ground on their backs and groaned, then a blue coated colt trotted up to them and stared at the tower they created. "Hmm," He said.

He placed a card on the very top of the girls' tower. "That should do it!," He said.

The colt's flank started glowing and a picture of a stack of cards appeared. "Hey, my cutie mark, so cool! I gotta tell my parents about this!," He celebrated, trotting out of the park.

"OH COME ON!," Sweetie Belle shouted and started stamping her hooves on the ground repeatedly.

Scootaloo just stood there watching the ranting Sweetie Belle. "Huh, I guess it was a special talent after all.," She said laughing a little.

Suddenly something flung through the air and hit Sweetie Belle in the head. "Ow! I know you're mad like me Scootaloo, but you shouldn't go throwing stuff around yet!," She said, pouting.

"Yet...? I mean I didn't throw anything at you!," Scootaloo replied.

Sweetie Belle rubbed her head and looked at the thrown item. "Oh, it looks like a muffin.," She stated.

"Um, I don't think muffins are supposed to be rainbow colored...," Scootaloo said.

"I think you're right, this one must be special!," Sweetie Belle said, staring at the one of a kind cupcake with praise. Then the filly conjured up and idea in her mind. "What if our special talent is eating muffins!?," She cheered.

Scootaloo put her hooves on her side and stared at Sweetie Belle.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, you know it's a good idea too!," Sweetie Belle said, spatting her tongue out at her winged friend. She neared the cupcake towards her mouth, then a shout came from a distance.

"Nooooooo!," Pinkie screamed, swiping the cupcake from Sweetie Belle and came face to face with her. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THIS!," She asked aloud.

"I WAS ABOUT TO EAT IT!," Sweetie Belle replied, squeaking in her voice a little.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?," Pinkie asked again.

"WELL IT IS A MUFFIN!," Sweetie Belle replied.

"IT'S A CUPCAKE!," Pinkie responded.

"WHAT!?," Sweetie Belle said.

Pinkie pointed at the cupcake. "IT'S A CUPCAKE!,"

"SERIOUSLY!?," Sweetie Bella said.

"YES!," Pinkie said.

"WHY ARE WE YELLING!?," Sweetie Belle asked, raising her hooves in the air.

"I DON'T KNOW!," Pinkie yelled back.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!," Pinkie and Sweetie Belle started yelling even louder for no reason, Scootaloo just plugged her ears with her hooves, then the yelling stopped.

Pinkie laughed. "Well that was fun!~♪," She said.

Rainbow Dash fled down rubbing her ears. "Jeez, Pinkie Pie, what did you do to some pony this time, I could hear them scream from a mile aoh you found it!," She said, flying over to pick up the cupcake.

"Now that we've got this cupcake, let's deliver it fast!," She insisted.

"So why are you two so attracted to that...cupcake?," Scootoaloo asked, still unaware why it looked like a muffin.

"Well, the thing is, Pinkie forced me and Derpy...," Dash was interrupted by a large gasp from Pinkie Pie. "Ugh, okay, she ASKED me and Derpy to help her make cupcakes and we had to deliver them.," She said, with the cupcake in her possession.

Scootaloo's eyes flickered. "Wait, so you're saying that YOU bakes that cupcake!?," She asked joyfully.

"Um, kinda.," Dash replied, shrugging.

"No wonder it was rainbow colored!," Scootaloo said.

Dash's eyes shifted to towards Pinkie Pie. "That's not the reason, kiddo...," She said under her breathe.

"Now that I know it was made by you...c-could I try it?," Scootaloo asked with big eyes.

"And can I try it so that I can get my cutie mark!?," Sweetie Belle pleaded.

The two fillies started chasing Rainbow Dash around the park until Pinkie Pire was tailing them, trying to prevent them from getting their hooves on the cupcake until Derpy had shown up to come to the rescue.

"Oh, hey girls did you find the muffin!," She asked flying over head of them.

"Cupcake!," Pinkie corrected.

"Come on Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, lay off, it's just a cupcake!," Dash said, still flying away from the fillies.

The two girls ignored what she said and continued to chase her. "But it was made by YOU, Rainbow Dash, I have to try it!," Scootaloo stated.

"I have to get my cutie mark, I have to try everything!," Sweetie Belle added on.

"Oh for the love of...Derpy, catch!," Dash passed the cupcake to Derpy and the fillies were held in place by Pinkie and Dash.

"Nice catch, Derpy!," Pinkie said.

"Okay, you've got the cupcake now Derpy, you know what to do!," Dash called out.

Derpy saluted and proceeded to do what she knew what she had to do, she chucked the cupcake afar...again. Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo's jaws dropped as the cupcake went sailing into the sky until all they could see was a twinkle.

"OH COME ON!," Sweetie Belle and Rainbow Dash cried out in unison.

Meanwhile in Canterlot Castle

"Why yes, they should be on their way now.," said Mrs.Cake.

Mr. Cake nodded. "Yes, you must be patient, ma'am, it is an honor to serve sweets to the royal princesses of Equestria, but we're doing all that we can.," He stated.

Celestia gave a small uncomfortable look of disappointment over the fact her treats were taking too long to arrive, but then thought it over and understood their situation. "I see...well,okay ... I shall wait.," She responded.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake bowed their head and walked towards the door. Sweat started to appear on Celestia's face and she immediately called out for them. "Uh, w-wait...do you supposedly...have any spare ice cream left over from what you gave my sister?," She asked desperately.

"Well, I don't think we," Mr. Cake was interrupted by Celestia meeting him face to face.

"Can't you check again, pleeeeeeease?," She begged.

Mrs. Cake saw Luna approaching from upstairs. "Um... is something wrong with Princess Celestia?," Mrs. Cake asked her.

"Eh, she gets into a sugar rush every 500 years or so, I try to keep my cool.," Luna replied, looking at her sister still pleading Mr. Cake.

"Miss Celestia...," Mr. Cake said.

"Pleeeeeeeease?," She begged, showing big eyes.

Luna sighed. "Sis, seriously that's not going to wor,"

"Well I suppose I could check the carriage once more for any spare ice cream.," Mr. Cake said.

Luna paused with her mouth open in surprise.

"You see, dear sister, adding an extra "e" always works.," Celestia said with a modest face.

Luna rolled her eyes and shook her head.

*****

Rainbow Dash and Derpy flew slowly through the air, with Pinkie Pie who was flying with two balloons close by, looking for the cupcake again.

"Derpy when I said you know what to do, I meant deliver the cupcake, NOT THROW IT!," Dash said putting both of her hooves up in distress.

"I didn't know that was what you wanted me to do, I wa sthinking about eating it, but I thought throwing it was an even better idea!," Derpy explained.

"Sometimes I wonder how we even became friends...," Rainbow Dash said, looking at Derpy with a confused look.

"Now, now, girls, we have to stop being mean to each other and find that cupcake!," Pinkie happily implied.

"I guess you're right, but where do we even look since Derpy threw it so far?," Dash asked, crossing her hooves.

Pinkie started to think of a possible location to where the cupcake landed, then she had an idea. "I think I know how to find it!," She said, pointing her head to the sky.

"Um...Pinkie, what are you doing?," Dash questioned.

"Shh... I'm about to ask the writer where it is.," Pinkie whispered to Rainbow Dash.

Dash had an eerie look on her face. "Pinkie, that has got to be the,"

"Best idea ever!," Derpy whispered in.

Pinkie smiled at the two, then looked back up into the sky. "Mister writer, where could we find the cupcake?," She shouted.

The three ponies flew in place, silent, waiting for an answer. Dash slowly shook her head with an unimpressed expression. "Pinkie Pie, you and Derpy have been talking about some writer ever since we baked those cupcakes, WHO are you talking about?," Dash asked, confused.

Derpy and Pinkie just stared at the blue pegasus and smiled. "Aw, it's nothing~♪," Pinkie replied.

"Mhm, just a figment of our imagination!♪," Derpy added in.

Rainbow Dash returned the stare and rolled her eyes and looked back in the sky. "Well, I still don't know why,"

Just then a stack of papers fell down upon Dash's face. "Ouch!," She reacted

Pinkie removed the papers off of Dash's face and began to look over it.

"I don't remember there being a cloudy chance of falling paper to be scheduled today.," Derpy said.

"It says the cupcake's in Cloudsdale!," Pinkie implied.

"What? How are you even sure it's there?," Dash asked.

Pinkie showed on of the papers in the stack to Dash and Derpy. "A script?," they both said.

"Mhm, the writer is actually helping us out, told you!," Pinkie said, happily spatting her tongue.

Rainbow Dash had a surprised look on her face and crossed her hooves again. "Just how does this "writer" know what we're supposed to do any,"

Another stack of papers fell on Dash's face. "Ow!," She shouted.

Pinkie took the stack of paper and looked at it. "It says I'm the writer, duh.," She read.

Dash gave a confused look up towards the sky. "Oh yea, then why is this ENTIRE story revolving around a cupcake mister wri,"

Another stack of paper fell on her face and Derpy removed it this time. " It says just roll with it girl.," Derpy read, laughing a bit.

Dash rubbed her nose and angrily looked into the sky. "Will you stop dropping scripts from the sky into my face!," She yelled.

Pinkie Pie and Derpy Hooves flew there silent for a while, then a scream came from afar. "What's that noise?," Dash asked.

"Rainbow DaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAASH!," Scootaloo came flying towards Dash at a rapid speed.

"Scootal," Dash and the filly went soaring towards the ground. Rainbow Dash was momentarily dizzy, but regained consciousness and looked at Scootaloo. "Scootaloo, what the hay?,"

"I came to deliver this to you, Rainbow Dash!," Scootaloo said, handing her an envolope.

Dash opened it and read it. "I guess I'll deliver them by bird then...," Dash gave a deadpan look at Scootaloo, who was smiling.

A comedic drum roll was played.

Dash looked to the side of her and saw Octavia with a drum set. "How many instruments DO you play!?," She asked.

"As many as the writer wants.," She replied with a benevolent smile.

Dash slowly shook her head. "I bet you're enjoying this...," She said looking into the sky.

*****

Rindow Dash, Derpy Hooves, and Pinkie Pie flew to Cloudsdale in search of their missing cupcake, but once they got there, the pegasi were in a ruckus. Every pony was screaming and running in every direction, as if they were trying to escape something.

"What's going on here?," Dash asked looking at the panicking ponies.

Derpy gasped. "What if every pony knew about that thing that happened yesterday that had something to do that other thing that had something to do with that other thing that had nothing to do with this thing that caused that thing that every pony is running from!?," She said.

All the pegasi froze in pace and stared at her. "What?," they all said.

"Oh you know what I'm talking about!," She said waving her hoof.

And with that, every pony resumed running, then a loud screech could be heard throughout the city. "What was that!?," Pinkie reacted, terrified of the source.

A silhouette hovered above the city in the shape of a bird. "Whoa, look at that!," Derpy said pointing at the figure.

The sunlight's brightness revealed the figure's true identity and there flew Gilda, who was in the angriest of attitudes. "Alright, fess up, which one of you dweebs threw this at me, huh!/," She said, holding up the lost cupcake.

"Hey's it's Gilda!," Rainbow Dash said in surprise.

"And she has our cupcake!," Pinkie added on.

"Jinkies!," Derpy said with a pair of glasses, an orange turtleneck, and a short skirt.

"Well, who threw it!?," Gilda repeated, then grabbing one of the nearby pegasi by the collar of his uniform.

"Was it you, mail dude?," She asked with a piercing glare.

"Uh n-n-no ma'am, it wasn't me.," the mail pony responded, shaking in fear.

Gilda gave an angry groan and started scorching through Coludsdale, accusing every pegasus of throwing the cupcake. "I think we kinda need to do something about this.," Derpy insisted.

"Ya think? And what's with that goofy looking get up Derpy!?," Dash responded.

"I know, w'll tell her we own the cupcake and she'll give it back to us, easy as baking cupcakes!," Pinkie said, floating towards the griffin with her balloon.

"Wait, Pinkie, that's not a good idea!," Dash warned her.

"I said I didn't do it!," cried a female pegasus.

Gilda clenched her beak and sneered. "Well I'm not leaving until some pony gets what's coming to them!," She stated.

Pinkie floated up to her and poked her on the wing. Gilda flinched in surprise and turned around. "Hiya Gilda, long time no see!," Pinkie happily said.

Gilda's eyes were widened and she let the held pegasus go free. "You're that pink pony from last time..!," She said with awe.

"Yup-a-roony~♪," Pinkie replied.

Gilda's aggression built up a little more. "So what, you came to prank me some more for Rainbow Dash's sake or what?," She asked aggressively comins face to face with Pinkie Pie.

"Oh no, no, no, I came to get that cupcake from you because it's ours.," Pinkie stated.

"Ours?," Gilda repeated, then she looked behind the pink pony and saw Rainbow Dash and Derpy waving, then returned her attention to Pinkie. "You saying this thing belongs to you?," Gilda asked.

"Mhm, you see we were making these cupcakes for Mr. and Mrs. Cake so we could deliver them to Canterlot, but then my little Gummy jumped off my head and ate all of them up except one so we had to deliver that one cupcake and we got help from the writer to find it soooooo...," Pinkie held out both of her hooves, hoping to be offered the cupcake. "May we have it back please?," She finished.

Gilda looked at her, puzzled over the situation and she shook her head and answered. "Okay, okay, sheesh, I get it! Here, just take your stupid cupcake...wait.," She examined the cupcake. "Why does it look like a muffin..?," She asked, handing the cupcake over.

"It's a long story, but thank you!," Pinkie said with a smile.

"Eh, whatever, I'm outta here, gonna go find out who threw that thing at me anyways!." Gilda said, preparing to fly.

"Phew I'm sure surprised she didn't get mad for me throwing that muffin at her!," Derpy said with relief.

Dash's eyes widened and quickly tried to shush Derpy, then Gilda ceased her flight and turned around to see Derpy. "What did you just say...,"

"I said I'm surprised you're not mad for me throwing that cupcake at you, wow am I relieved," Derpy repeated, giving another sign of relief.

Gilda's somewhat content face turned into and angry one. "I'm more surprised by you... you're that pagesus mail pony that dropped that piano on me in the Griffon Kingdom!," She shouted then screeched.

Dash turned to Derpy and shook her head. "Haha, it was an accident..?," Derpy said with a grin.

Gilda rushed towards Derpy, but then Pinkie intercepted her. "Wait, there's no need to get violent, I'm sure if we could all get along...," She was interrupted by Gilda.

"Uh...no!," She said, popping Pinkie's balloons with her talons.

"Uh oh...aaaaaaaaaah!," Pinkie screamed as she plummeted through the clouds.

Gilda returned her attention back to Rainbow Dash and Derpy, but they were gone. "What the...where'd they go!," She said looking around Cloudsdale.

Meanwhile in Canterlot Castle...again

Mr. Cake came back inside the castle and Celestia gasped in excitement and rushed over to him. "Well, did you find any?," She asked impatiently.

"Actually,yes I did!," He said with a smile, and with that he handed the princess the glass of ice cream.

"I'm so glad our princess is satisfied with our services!," Mrs. Cake said.

Lunda stood there watching her sister eating her ice cream like a wild animal (no pun intended), then she saw her stop. Celestia started crying and placed the glass filled with lots of uneaten ice with it.

Mr. and Mrs Cake looked at Celestia with worry. "Um, Princess Celestia?," Mr. Cake said, trying to get her attention.

"Is it rotten or not too good for your tastes?," Mrs. Cake asked.

Luna continued to stare at her sister with a sigh and the her eyes widened. "Wait...don't tell me!," She said.

Celestia turned around and her eyes were shut tight and she put her hooves on the side of her head. Luna facehooves herself. "She's got a,"

"BRAINFREEZE!," Celestia cried out, rolling around on the hall 's carpet, squealing in agony.

"Oh my...," Mrs. Cake said astonished.

"But...she just started eating...," Mr. Cake said, looking at the side of their princess he'd thought he would never see.

"I know, she ALWAYS gets an easy brain freeze from stuff like ice cream, that's why I keep it away from herShe can't take cold things...," Luna explained, looking at her sister rolling around on the carpet. "Though, it's still funny to watch.," She said, smiling and eating popcorn.

"IT HUUUUUUUUUURTS!," Celestia screamed.

Back in Ponyville

"There, you go, all safe and sound!," Derpy said, carrying Pinkie down to the ground.

"Thanks for saving me Derpy, I really owe you one.!," Pinkie said.

Dash looked around Ponyville, seeing every pony looking at them strange as she held the cupcake tightly. "Why do I have this strange feeling something is about to happen.,"

A huge stack of paper fell on Dash's head and she picked it up while pouting and started to read it.

"Ooh, it's a script from the writer!," Pinkie said eagerly.

"What does it say, what does it say!?," Derpy asked.

Rainbow Dash continued to read and stared at Derpy and Pinkie. The both of them looked at her confused. "...How good are you two at random montages?," She asked with a grin.

"Very good! Why?," Pinkie answered.

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo popped out of nowhere and raised their hooves to Rainbow Dash and the cupcake. " GET THAT MUFFIN!," Sweetie Belle screamed.

"cupcake...," Dash corrected.

"GET THAT CUPCAKE!," Sweetie Belle screamed.

And so the fine ponies of Ponyville started stampeding after Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Derpy in pursuit of the precious cupcake which indeed started a montage. They ran through the field of Apple Acres and Applejack and Apple Bloom didn't take kindly to it and were angry, so they gathered up their rope and joined in the chase. Next was in Carousel Boutique where Rarity was testing out her new perfume, but Derpy threw the cupcake again and broke the bottle and it now smells like some foreign flower found over seas of Equestria; Now Rarity joins in the stampede because of the sweet scent that lingers from the baked treat. Then they headed to Fluttershy's cottage where Angel was enjoying his desserts, but was ruined by the ponies' stamping hooves and so he got extremely mad and started trailing them to get revenge.

Soon, almost everyone was following them to get the cupcake and so the trio decided to hed to the one last place that had a sane pony...Twilight's tree house.

*****

"Tell me why we even need a book fort, Twilight?," Spike asked, wearing a pirate hat.

"Spike, we need a book fort of Captain Jack Sparrow will plow through or defenses!," Twilight replied, wearing a pirate hat, an eye patch and a wooden sword.

"Um...," Spike just stood in the fort looking at her.

Twilight sighed. "It's for my fan fic, okay? Now avast ye mates!," She said, hoisting the sword into the air.

"Oh brother...," Spike groaned with an annoyed look.

The door flew open with Pinkie Pie and the others two ponies, Rainbow Dash and Derpy Hooves immediately blocked the door. "Twilight we need your help!,"

"Gah!," Twilight reacted, using her magic to quickly got rid of the fort and pirate accessories and...Spike, who was thrown out a window for some reason.

"P-Pinkie, what are you doing here!?," Twilight asked in a haste.

"Was that a book fort with Spike and you dressed like pirates trying to repel Jack Sparrow's attempt in stealing your bountiful booty?," Pinkie asked.

"Hehe...booty.," Derpy snickered, still holding back the door.

"...Hey, I asked you first!," Twilight stated nervously.

"Oh, well we need your help! Could you teleport us to Canterlot!?," Pinkie asked.

Twilight held a hoof up to her mouth. "But that would require a vast amount of my magical energy Pinkie, I don't know...," She said shifting her eyes.

"I'll role play for your fan fiction~♪," Pinkie singed.

"Hold on tight, you're going to Canterlot!," Twilight said, focusing her energy at the tip of her horn. In a flash, they were instantly teleported out of her library.

Twilight gave a fickle smile and saw Spike climb back from the shattered window. "Now we can continue my fan fic!," She stated, poofing a hat and a blue jacket onto herself and yellow ears and tails. "Okay, now...do you think you'll be able to fit into this?," Twilight asked holding up a pokeball.

Spike had shivers sent up his spine and backed away from her. "I'm not getting in that thing!," He shouted.

Suddenly the doors busted open again and the stampeding ponies came crashing and running towards Twilight and Spike. "I knew I should have kept that scene where there were a wave of angry ponies!," Twilight said with an unsure face.

*****

The trio were successfully transported into Canterlot.

"And know we're in Canterlot!," Pinkie cheered.

"Wow, doing a full version of a short story is WAY much worse than doing the actual version!," Dash said with a sight of relief.

"I'll say!," Derpy added in.

"Now we can finally bring this cupcakes to Mr. and Mrs. Cake!," Pinkie stated, trotting ahead of the girls, then she bumped into Celestia right away.

"Oh sorry I didn't see you there... wait, Pinkie, how did you get here?," She asked with a surprise.

"Oh hiya, miss Celestia, funny to see you walking around Canterlot!," Pinkie commented.

"Yea, you don't usually take a casual stroll around... your...own... city...," Dash said, unsure what she said made any sense.

"Um...yes, uh. wait, I-I asked first! How did you get here?," Celestia asked.

"Twilight teleported us here!," Derpy answered.

"Yea, and was it tough, we had to go through a lot of mess just to save this cupcake!," Dash said, holding up the cupcake.

Celestia looked at Rainbow Dash and then the cupcake. "Isn't that a muffin?," She asked.

Dash gave a deadpan look and turned her focus to Derpy. "Next time if we make cupcakes, NO muffin ingredients, got it?," She told her. Derpy just smiled and nodded.

"I'm quite envious of your three having a cupcake as wonderful as that... you see, I've been feeling on edge lately and I REALLY need something sweet.," Celestia whimpered.

"Oh... I'm sorry, Princess Celestia, you know what? Once we deliver this cupcake to whoever Mrs. and Mr. Cake wants us to give it to, me and the girls will make a WHOLE other batch just for you!," Pinkie happily insisted.

Celestia wiped her tears from her eye lids. "Really?," She asked.

"Of course!," Derpy agreed.

Dash just shrugged. "Eh.," She said. Celestia, Pinkie and Derpy stared at her. "Ugh, fiiiiiiiiiiine, I'll help, but if we have to run over Ponyville and Cloudsdale again like today, I quit!," She said with a pout in the end.

"That's very nice of you, girls. Funny, Mr. and Mrs. Cake said that there was somepony delivering my personcal batch of cupcakes, hope they arrive soon!," She said with a lash of her tongue.

"Ooh, Pinkie there you are!," said a voice from behind the princess, Mr. and Mrs. Cake were walking towards them.

"Mr. and Mrs. Cake, I've been looking for you!," Pinkie said, hugging them both.

"Haha, nice to see you too, Pinkie, we were wondering where you were as well.," Mr. Cake said.

"Yes, how did the delivery of the cupcakes go?," Mrs. Cake asked.

"Oh, well you see... the thing is," Pinkie was interrupted by a blinding light that occurred to the cupcake in Dash's hooves. The single cupcake became a dozen, that were conveniently stored in a "cupcake-to-go" box.

Derpy and Pinkie's were really surprised by this development. "D-Did that just happen..?," Dash asked, amazed.

"Yes...yes it did.," Derpy answered slowly.

"WOOHOO ABOUT TIME SOMETHING ACTUALLY'S GOING RIGHT!," Dash cheered.

A piece of paper fell from the sky, but this time Dash caught it. "Ah ha, nice try writer, let's see what you have to say now!," She said triumphantly reading the paper. "Aw you caught it, that's no fun, but since you did so I will now take...all... your... cupcakes...," Dash stopped reading and looked up towards the sky.

"I feel an angry speech coming on, don't you Derpy?," Pinkie asked. Derpy nodded her head.

Dash took a death breath. "So you want to take the cupcakes we so desperately tried saving, huh? Well...tell you what, if you take the cupcakes, I'm coming out of this fan fiction and I'm gonna hunt you down through THE ENDS OF EARTH UNTIL YOU COME INTO A DEAD END, THEN I'M GONNA FORCE YOU TO GIVE UP WRITING, LIVING, OR EVEN GAMING FOR...THE ... REST ... OF...YOUR ... ENTIRE ... LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE!," She yelled raising her hoof in the air while continuously panting.

All the Canterlot ponies were afraid of her during the moment, even Celestia was shaken. Trixie stopped her performance and high tailed it out of town, Discord poofed out of town and decided it wasn't best to stay, and Derpy and the Cakes hid behind Celestia.

"Um...," Pinkie could only say that.

Another piece of paper fell from the sky and was caught by Princess Celestia, who still had a pretty frightened face. "It says okay, you win, just don't take my games and writings of ponies.," She read. "It has a crybaby face at the bottom...,"

"You mean like "XD"?," Pinkie asked.

"No really, an actual cry baby face.," Celestia held up the paper and it had a chubby baby crying over applesauce.

"Aw that's so cute~♪," Pinkie commented.

Dash regained her composure and smiled. "Glad you seen it my way, now who do we deliver these cupcakes too anyways, I got a WonderBolts practice to watch!," Dash said.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake stepped from behind Celestia and looked at each other and laughed. "Well the pony you were supposed to deliver them to is right here!," Mrs. Cake said smiling.

Pinkie scratched the back of her head. "Weird, why would you want us to deliver them to yourselves, don't you always make sweets?," She asked.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake looked eerily at Pinkie.

"She means we deliver them to Celestia, Pinkie...," Dash corrected.

"Oooooh, then that makes sense!," Pinkie nodded.

Derpy grabbed the cupcakes and gave them to Celestia. "Here you go Princess Celestia, they're all yours!,"

Celestia's eyes widened and she instantly took the cupcakes. "Thank you, I-I think I'm enjoy them, excuse my absence!," She zoomed towards the castle and the guards didn't even notice her presence as she passed by.

"Whoa, she's almost as fast as me...," Dash said in awe.

"Well, all's well that ends well, right?," Derpy said.

Every pony nodded their heads.

~The End~

Not... (lolz)

A loud sound could be heard from the castle, it felt like an earthquake which made the guards shake rapidly.

"Um, what's that sound?," Dash asked.

Celestia came running out of the castle beside Luna, with pieces of cupcake crumbs on their mouths.

"Uh oh...," Dash, Derpy and Pinkie said in unison.

The gate from the castle fell down, revealing the ponies of Ponyville stampeding after their own ruler. "SORRY PRINCESS CELESTIA, BUT GET THAT MUFFIN!," Sweetie Belle screamed.

Celestia held the last cupcake in her hoof.

"IT'S A CUPCAKE!," Every pony in Canterlot corrected.

"WHATEVER!," Sweetie Belle screamed, leading the stampeding towards Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Derpy Hooves, Mr. Cake, and Mrs. Cake.

"Can't we at least have a victory in the Filler Version!?," Rainbow Dash shouted in disappointment.

Pinkie waved in front of the ponies to get their attention. "Hey, it's time for a finishing picture freeze moment, get ready every pony!," She said.

"Woohoo!," Derpy cheered.

Celestia and Luna, followed by the stampede, closed in on the group.

"This totally," Dash took flight in the blink of an eye. "Sucks!!!," She ended as every pony flash freezed in the scene.

~The End, for real this time!~

There will be random out-takes from the story I planned to not include in the story that I might post up later, but I hope you enjoyed this full version of "The Perfect Cupcake!"

Author's Note

The [Filler and Full Version] was really fun making, it did take a while to think of material to extend a little part of the story, but it was all well worth it in the end! <(>.<<)
