I later found myself wondering the streets of ponyville, hoping to find a nice place to get something to munch on. It's to late for a meal but not to late for a mid night snack. The fist place that struck home with me was the bakery. Sugar cube corner. Isn't that where Pinkie lives? I found myself thinking. Ah I can risk an encounter with her this once. If i'm lucky, she might already be in bed, gaining that abundance of energy for tomorrow.
It was at the front doorstep that I had begun and reconsider this encounter for a cupcake or something. Was it worth it? Ah, its worth trying since i've never had a cupcake before. It can't be much better than that cake, that was good. Yep, i'm going in.
The silence inside kind of scared me. Maybe it's closed. I felt like I should yell out to see if anypony was home but consulted only to looking around. Stairs were anything to my avail that looked to be able and take me anywhere so I decided to take a look. Everything was dark upstairs as well. Except for a small sounds coming from one of the rooms. There was crying and what sounded like hurried steps of some pony running around. My steps forward were very hasty and cautious. I was at the door when I could hear everything completely. " Come on guys, don't make me do this. You know what happens when you mix flour and water." Flour and water. I guess she's in some sort of upstairs baking room.
" Hey, everything ok in..." Nothing else left my mouth except a stifled laugh as I saw what was happening in the room. I found that it was a bathroom and there were two foals in the tub. One a filly and one a colt. All I could do was stare at the unexpected children as new found thoughts started crossing my mind. " Y-y-you have children!?," My eyes had gone wide and my pupils dilated as if I was scared.
"What?"
I moved to the colt and gently rubbed it's head with my hoof. He started giggling. " Who's there father," my gaze had drifted off in Pinkies direction as she made no movements. " And what are you covered in."
Pinkies eyes were the only part of her body besides the upper length of her forhooves that could be seen. " There father is Mister Cake."
"You had an affair with Mister Cake and Ms. Cake is still letting you live with them!?" My brows had creased to show the questioning glare that I was offering her.
" Oh no silly, i'm babysitting the Cakes children, and i'm covered in dough." She let out a laugh that probably would have been annoying had she not been encased by the hardening substance.
" Do you need help?"
" YES, that would be amazing," Pinkie eyes suddenly went wide with plea.
" What do you want me to do?" I gave himself a proud and determined smile.
" Just watch those two while I clean up."
"Ok, this should be easy." I had started to move his head to greet the foals when he turned back to Pinkie." Do you need help getting out of that cast?"
" No, just take them to the room across the hall and every thing will be taken care of."
I had entered the next room and to his surprise found Pinkie already had been in there readying toys for the foal to play with. " How did you get in here so fast!?" I knew that with the two foals manes in my mouth that my words sounded weird but was sure they were understandable.
" I don't know, you tell me. Wait, you probably can't cause even I don't know. Oh silly me." Pinkie started to giggle but soon started to uncontrollably laugh. What I would usually find to be annoying, I started to instead find... pleasing. " Hey, since your here, let me do something for you in return. What can I get you?"
I felt a weird sensation go down my spine and instantly knew what was happening. " I wouldn't mind some muffins. Enough for two ponies."
"Ewwww," Pinkie exclaimed," Who do you plan on sharing them with?" Pinkie had gotten into a formation that showed how curious, and possibly something else that I couldn't tell, she was.
" I don't know, I guess ill find out when I get there." my face scrunched up clearly showing how urgent it was that I be leaving.
" Well, tell me all about it when you see me again." Pinkie looked incredibly excited about learning all about what chasing was going to do.
" Ok, I will if I think that it won't harm anything. But please, this might be very urgent."
"Okie dokie loki."
Pinkie went down to the kitchen of the bakery to get the muffins.
....
I could feel the soothing softness of the cloud that I was on. It may be cold outside since it was in the winter months but I was fine with the chill touching my skin. I had a box of muffins next to me and my cloud was large enough for two people to lay comfortably lay on. The softness of the cloud easily matched any fine clothing that I had ever worn. Maybe I should wear clouds. That would be plenty comfortable. I was stretching out, standing on my hind legs when I saw a grey and blonde flash from the corner of my eye. Oh dear, this is going to hurt.
She crashed into me with extreme force making my wings shot forward from the lag in time to bring them with me. My wings clutched to the nearest things to them which was, of all things, her. A blush passed both of our faces and I brought my wings back to my own sides.
" What's the rush, you act as if you had to tell me something this instant about some alternate universe that you just came back from and had entered from a strange machine called a Television that took you to the same place that you are normally in but slightly different and had to go through a magical pool that ended up leading you back to your correct reality."Derpy had looked astonished at the moment and her thoughts nearly drove her crazy. " How did you know!?"
I looked down at my hooves and was instantly reminded that Derpy was still on top of me. " I've seen it before. Don't worry though, its was just a small anomaly that occurs naturally in nature. It's technically a dream but it also happened in other realities."
Derpy looks now couldn't be described because of a mixture of her face and eyes. " And your eyes, there a clear sign to anyone that sees them. Only a select few can experience it. Done it twice now. Took me days to get out of the first one but only minutes to get out of the second." I was now staring back at derpy, who may I remind you was still on top of me, only to be greeted by the same look from moments ago. " It's just a dream, don't put to much thought into it. You want some muffins Derpy?"
Her look instantly changed to something among the line of happy and being ecstatic. " YAY, muffins."
Maybe this is the sudden urge for muffins that I had even thought I had never had any before.
