"No, no, NO!!" cried Pinkie Pie as she looked through the cookbooks one more time. "It has to be here!!" Though her search, as usual, ended with no new information. This was the third day with no luck and she was beginning to lose hope. She became frantic as she started throwing the book she looked through behind her. "I'll NEVER make the perfect cupcake now!!!!" she wailed as her as her bright and curly pink mane began to turn flat and grey.

Just as she started to cry, she heard a low whisper echoing throughout the spacious basement. "I can help you, if that is what you wish, but remember this-" the disembodied voice was interrupted by the perked up pink mare "You CAN!!!!! Why didn't you say so sooner, silly filly! Just come out from where you've been hiding so you can tell me."

Right after she said that, a dark red mist slowly invaded the contours of the room. Like a steam of blood, the haze washed over the basement. Pinkie Pie failed to notice, bouncing up and down and giggling with the occasional snort, because she was to excited about her new lead. Soon, the haze had engulfed all the areas around the mare, sealing any hope of escape with it. Pinkie Pie, finally realizing her situation, said "HEY! Are you gonna help me, or do you just want to play hide and seek all day?"

As if to respond to her question, the fog around her started to condense in one spot. Slowly, a figure of a pony began to emerge from the thick mist. Pinkie, even more excited than before from he hopes of meeting a new pony, resumed jumping and down in anticipation. Finally she was able to make out what the mare looked like. She had blood red fur and a jet black mane that seemed to waver ever so slightly. Her eyes gave an ominous look, with red irises and pure black pupils. She wore a sinister smile on her face, but to Pinkie, it seemed as friendly as anyponys'. Last, and much to her surprise, she was an alicorn.

"Are you a princess!?" Pinkie asked shocked but also excitedly. "In a way, yes, but more importantly, do you still wish to know how to make the perfect cupcake?" responded the mysterious mare with a cool, sleek voice. "Absapositivalutly!" said Pinkie Pie in a determined but sweet tone. The mare's smile deepened as she heard this. "Then you must know, with this knowledge comes a price. I believe you will find it quite reasonable. My only fare is that once it is assembled, I my have a single piece. So, do you agree?" Without even a moment a hesitation, Pinkie Pie said "Sure! I love sharing with other ponies, especially if it is with a princess! So, can you please tell me how to make it now?"

"As you wish." said the mare before she started to laugh maniacally. Thinking it harmless, Pinkie laughed along side her too. When the laughter subsided, the mare soon began the instructions to make the perfect cupcake. "First, thing to understand is that the basic ingredients are the same as a normal cupcake. So intially you will need flour, water, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, and baking powder." "Check, check, check, check, check, and checkeroo! Now can we make it?" All the items magically appeared next to her along with a wooden table that they were placed on. "How did you get that so fast?" the mare asked a bit confused. "Well duh!!! This is a bakery after all! It's only a half a minute walk to the kitchen and back." "That still doesn't explain... well never mind. After you assemble all that, you need to then collect some rare, special ingredients to make it perfect. Well, it really is only one, special mare essence!" She paused for a moment, to analyze Pinkie's face, which was rather blank except for her usual smile, and then continued.

"For the frosting, you will need two essences. One from a mare born with a rare, genetically mutated, rainbow colored mane, which will provide an exotic color and a very sweet taste. The second must come from a mare considered a concubine or a slut. This gives the frosting a warm creamy texture from the constantly churned essence. As for the actual cupcake," she continued "it requires three essences to make it complete. The first must come from an industrious mare that is constantly sweating in the hot Sun, because it gives it a salty counter balance. Next must come from a very shy virgin mare, to give it a nice natural sweetness. The last essence must come from at least a semi powerful unicorn to give it other necessary qualities. Once, you have these, the construction can begin. "

Ever since she heard "mare essence", all Pinkie could do was smile, and as the mystery mare went down the list of the essences, it just got bigger and bigger. When the mare was finished, she looked up to see a creepy smiling Pinkie. "One last thing," she added. "the only way to retrieve the essence is collecting the fluid of the mare's third orgasm into these special vials using some unique toys." She then gave Pinkie five vials that clearly labled which mare goes in which container. "With that, you are on your own." Hearing this turned her smile into a dark, seductive one. "Don't worry about me. I think I can manage." Pinkie said, "Just one last thing, how can I reach you when I gathered all the necessary materials?" "You can summon me whenever you need with this." she said handing the bright pink mare a large copper bit inscribed with a big E. "Just rub that and you will see me in second, and by the way, you can call me E. You can have my full name once you finish your little project. Now, I must leave." With that, the mist dissipated, leaving only the pink pony with a smile on her face waving goodbye. As for Pinkie, she knew she had some work to do.
