Chapters Carrot Cake looked around the bakery. He had known this place his whole life. Of course he knew where the mitt rack was. Mabey he was just tired. He had been here a while too. Mr. Cake smiled. He had the most wonderful life. A beautiful wife, the sweetest foals in Ponyville, good friends, and a great job. Things turned out so great for him.
"Carrot Cake?" smiled Cupcake.
Carrot Cake snapped out of his thoughts.
"Yes dear?" replied Mr. Cake
"Are you alright?" concerned Cupcake.
Pinkie was excited she never really got to spend quality time with cakes. She felt like Mr. and Mrs. Cake were her grandponies.
Pinkie snapped out of her train of thought when she heard a giggle. Then she noticed Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake were sitting on the floor playing a board game.
"Oh Pinkie good your out of your train of thought." laughed Mrs.Cake.
"Hey Mrs. Cake when did you and Mr. Cake meet?" questioned Pinkie happily.
And the story started..
Tuesday a long time ago....
Cupcake slowly opened her eyes. Sunlight poured from her bedroom windows. Cupcake groaned. School. She was the new pony. She hated moving. She didn't want to meet lots of new ponies. Like her mother and father said. They had to move just because they needed to expand the shop. This shop was called Cupcake Castle. Supposedly her mother and father were the king and queen of cupcakes. They knew every recipe, had every ingredient. If you asked for a dessert they could make it. Only one problem. That made Cupcake a princess. She hated attention. Just exactly why she hated being the new foal in Ponyville.
Cupcake finally decided to get up. She trotted to her mirror. She picked up her comb and brushed through her curled pink mane. Then placed a yellow bow in her hair. She smiled. She loved the way the yellow bow looked in her mane. If only she was pretty like the other fillies. Now don't get me wrong she was more beautiful than most of them. But she wasn't cool like them. So Cupcake wanted to make a good impression. So she begged her mom for a bow to put in her hair. So her mom agreed. They went to the store. So she could find one. So she picked the yellow one because pretty meant happy and when she thought happy she thought of the color yellow.
Cupcake trotted down stairs to her mother making pancakes over the stove. While her father was reading the newspaper and drinking coffee at the table. Cupcake smiled raspberry pancakes. Her very favorite breakfast.
"Good Morning dear." smiled Lemon Cake her mother.
"So are excited for your first day of school?" smiled her mother putting down the raspberry pancakes in front of her.
Cupcake looked over to her mother coming back into the room with a present wrapped so beautifully she didn't want to open it. Plus the ribbon was yellow. Her favorite color. It matched her bow. The wrapping paper was hot pink her second favorite color.She smiled and carefully opened the box there were two items in it she pulled the first one out a pink saddle with yellow trimmed coat underneath. This was all the rage right now. She bet it would be in Ponyville too. She was devastated when she forgot to pack hers. Hopefully the little filly who was supposed to move into that house likes it as much as she did.
Cupcake hugged her mom and dad. "Thanks mom! Thanks dad." she smiled feeling better.
"Um daddy wheres the cover?" questioned Cupcake.
"Ok bye mom! Bye dad!." smiled Cupcake.
Then she headed of to school....
Cupcake walked down the steps of their bakery home. She looked up at the bakery then looked up above at her bedroom window. She tightened her yellow saddlebag. Then trotted off to school. She paced all the strange houses. Not as nearly as the ones in Canterlot but in a way they were more interesting. More quaint. More happy. Not so regal and serious. But laid back and happy. Cupcake smiled she might like it her after all. Maybe. Even though she just moved to town yesterday. Cupcake knew where the schoolhouse was. She could see it from her balcony window. She could see everything up here. When she was up there she noticed a vacant building like this on the other side of town in the distance. Maybe i'll live there one day she thought. Cupcake crossed the purple bridge. For some reason ponies would do musical numbers for no reason. Everypony would think its normal and go along with it. The horror of them moving in with a welcome song. With a huge dance number. All she could think the whole time is did they plan this? What are they doing? Am I the only one bothered? Then I looked up at my parents and could see they were bothered too? What the hay? Cupcake still couldn't get that song out of her head.
WELCOME WELCOME
WERE GLAD YOUR HERE TODAY WE HOPE YOU WILL
STAY AND STAY FOR WE IN PONYVILLE LIKE NEW FRIENDS WHO LIKE TO SMILE
WE HOPE YOU STAY HERE FOR A WHILE------------------------------------>
Let me tell you I wasn't smiling. But today it was clear. No musical dance numbers. Yet. I kept walking until in the distance I saw a red schoolhouse. This is it. The one I saw on my balcony. There were fillies and colt running about. It must have been morning recess. Like at my old school. I looked around. All I had to do was make a new friend. I looked around. When I spotted a mare with a tan coat and glasses. With white curly hair. She was reading a book. I trotted over to the tree was under. I trotted up to her expecting her to look up but she didn't. She was entranced in the book she was reading. POLITICS FOR FOALS!
"Politics?" blurted Cupcake.
"Well you see there's these mares you need to stay away from." whispered Mare.
Author's Note
All the ponies named in this story are real characters. :) Hope your enjoying so far.
Cupcake trotted in. She was expecting to sit by Mare. But that seat was taken.
Mare smiled and shrugged she didn't seem to mind. Cupcake didn't care that much either.There was only one seat left on the back row. In the very middle. Between a light brown pony with black hair and a yellow pony with an orange mane. The light brown coated one is counting his lunch money over and over again while the other one is drawing pictures of desserts. I look over to the counting money. Oblivious that im looking at him. So I turn my head to the one doodling pictures of cakes and cookies with the most beautiful designs. I look at his cutie mark. Carrot Cakes go figure. Afraid he might notice me I look at the ponies in front of me. Suddenly I wish I hadn't sat here. I see Lemon Chiffon and Maybeline grinning ear by ear. Oh brother.
"Whats your name?" asks Lemon Chiffon.
"Um no." Cupcake replied.
Suddenly the teacher walked in.
"Good Morning class." grinned the teacher.
"I see you have all found her." giggled the yellow unicorn.
"Hello My name is Cupcake. Im new to Ponyville. My special talent is baking cupcakes. I live at the new bakery Cupcake Castle. With my mom and dad. I like yellow and hot pink. I like making friends. Oh and I almost forgot im from Canterlot."
The class smiled happily when suddenly Lemon Chiffon coughed "Canterlot Snob."
Soon it was recess and everypony headed outside.
Soon I caught up with Mare and soon we started talking. She said there was some extra credit work she needed to do. I just shrugged and let her do her own thing. Who was I to stop her from telling her that there is no grade higher that A+ 100%. Oh well. I walked outside and sat under the tree and looked in my saddlebag pulled out a sharpened no. 2 pencil and my diary. I opened the first page and started writing.
February 13
Dear
Diary,
School is going pretty ok so far. I have even made a new friend her name is Mare.
I closed my book and looked up there was a colt standing in front of me.
"Hey there beautiful." he slyly grinned.
Cupcake skipped happily off to school. She was excited it was Hearts and Hooves Day. On the way there all she could think about was Carrot Cake. As soon as she got to school all the fillies and colts were gossiping about Hearts and Hooves Day and who was going to be whos special somepony. Cupcake looked around and she finally found mare. Working on a diagram.
Ms.Bee started announcing the rules about passing out cards.
"Happy Hearts and Hooves Day." Carrot Cake blushed.
"Then there was that time Mare broke into the election poles and tried to run for Mayor at that age. But thats another story." smiled Mrs. Cake.
"AND I LOVE ALL OF YOU!" squealed Pinkie hugging all of them.
THE END
Author's Note
Happy Hearts and Hooves Day!
Mr.Cake walked anxiously around Sugar Cube Corner. His very important client was coming in ten minutes and he still couldn't find his lucky baking mitt.
"Where is it?" panicked Carrot Cake.
He had spent the past hour tearing the kitchen apart. He even dumped the flour out of its container. He looked through every corner of the kitchen. He checked boxes of ingredients, the fridge, even the bathroom. Even though that had nothing to with the kitchen. Carrot Cake ran to Cupcake.
"Oh honey what am I to do?" he moaned. "IM DOOMED!" he said dramatically getting on his knees and lifting his hooves in the air.
Cupcake rolled her eyes Carrot Cake could be so dramatic. She pulled out the mitt.
Carrot Cake squealed like a foal on Hearthswarming Day.
"You found it!" he squealed "But here was it?"
"On the mitt rack. Where its supposed to be." replied Cupcake sarcasticly.
"Oh right! " said Carrot Cake sheepishly. "What would I do without you?"
Carrot Cake could only smile. Yep thats Cupcake.
