The creation of the world's greatest sweet.
Applejack walked to Sugarcube corner dragging a sack of apples along the roads.
She sighed and looked at the night sky.
It’s gettin’ pretty late. Maybe ah can avoid doin’ this…
Applejack didn’t realize she was at the door.
Applejack bit her lip and as quietly as she could, tried to turn around.
She turned to the direction she had just came from when she heard a door slam open.
“Applejack!”
Not two seconds after that was said, Applejack felt her flank being yanked inside the door.
Oh no.. Applejack thought to herself.
The orange earth pony put her hooves on the ground trying to stay in one place.
“Pinkie Pie!” She tried to take a step away from the pink mare. “Let go!”
“But Applejack,”
Pinkie was unnaturally strong and pulled Applejack harder, slipping from her flank and now pulling her legs.
“you promised!”
She pulled her faster into the kitchen when applejack had enough of this.
“But you didn’t just promise, you PINKIE promised!”
Applejack gathered strength as the pink pony rambled.
“and you knooow how you can’t break a pinkie promise because if you do, I’ll have to stick a cupcake in you e- WOOOOAAH!
Applejack slipped her legs out of pinkie grasp and, causing Pinkie to topple over backwards..
This plan failed when applejack put her legs under her stomach causing her to slip on frosting, slamming her flank on the wooden floor.
“hey..”
Pinkie said as she sat up and watched applejack scramble to her feet.“applejack ple-”
“Pinkie.”
Applejack turned around to face Pinkie.
“ah’m not one to give up but, if ah pinkie promised,”
She watched as Pinkie’s confused gaze was slowly becoming a wide smile.
“Ah… Will give it a chance-”
“Great!”
The pink mare hopped up and gave applejack a big hug.
“Now,” Pinkie pushed applejack to the counter where she worked “I’ll go get the apples!”
Applejack gulped as pinkie zoomed off.
She started hitting her head with her hoof.
Why did ah think this was a good idea…
She thought to herself.
Pinkie zoomed back into the room with the large sack of apples and threw them on her friend.
“whew,”
She turned to Applejack who was lying on the floor with a sack of apples covering her entire body.
“nice catch Applejack!”
Applejack gave the pink mare a annoyed and angry look then bucked the apples off of her body letting them hit pinkie’s legs.
Pinkie didn’t seem to care much about what just happened.
Applejack got to her feet and kicked the bag behind her, out of the way.
“So,” Pinkie said “let me get an apple,”
Pinkie began walking past applejack to reach the apples “and we can begin.”
She reached her hoof out to grab an apple then, suddenly and orange blur flew past her and covered the bag with it’s body.
“Applejack, c’mon.” Pinkie pleaded.
“Well… uh.” Applejack gulped. “Your not gonna hurt em’, are ya?”
Pinkie giggled the answered her friend’s question.
“Of course not silly!” Pinkie said with another giggle. “now hand me one!”
Applejack hesitated then grabbed an apple and handed it to her.
Pinkie grabbed it and hopped over to the counter and placed it down next to a stick and a ladle.
Applejack got to her feet and stared intently at the apple in Pinkie’s hoof.
Then, Applejack watched in horror as Pinkie quickly jabbed the stick in the top of the apple, forcing the juice inside the apple to squirt out on Applejack.
“PINKIE!”
This sudden outburst from Applejack caused pinkie to get scared and drop the apple on the ground.
“You said you wouldn’t hurt em’!”
Pinkie tried her hardest to hold back a laugh.
“Oh Applejack! It’s no difference then you cutting up apples to make a pie!”
Applejack’s face softened for a second then got red.
“Oh,” Applejack started rubbing her leg. “Ah guess your right.”
She gave a goofy smile and went back to the area where they were working.
“Ok, now, Applejack put the impaled apple in the fridge!”
“uh, impaled?”
“Yes impaled!” Pinkie said as she handed the farmpony the apple.
“uh ok then.” The grabbed the apple and put it in the fridge. “ok, now what?”
“Now,”
Pinke hopped on several items to reach the shelf where the Cakes kept the recipes.
“We get… Ah, here it is!”
She grabbed a piece of paper from in between two cookbooks and threw it at Applejack.
Applejack caught the flying piece of paper and looked at it.
“Recipe for caramel?” She read.
“Yup!”
The pink mare hopped off the counter doing a backflip before landing in front of Applejack.
“Ok soooo,” She snached the peice of paper from the farmpony’s hooves.
“Let’s see… Get your hooves ready Applejack! There are a few ingredients I need you to get!”
Applejack got a determined face and started running in place.
“oook sooo…
1 packed cup of brown sugar,
1/2 cups of milk,
4 tablespoons of butter,
a pinch of salt,
and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract!”
The farm pony did as told, running to get the items and bringing them back as Pinkie listed them off.
“Great job AJ! Now to get to work!”
Pinkie began humming the cupcake song as they worked.
A few minutes later
“whew!” Applejack wiped imaginary sweat from her forehead. “What’s next, Pink?”
“well,”
Pinkie washed the sticky caramel off her hooves then, went into a drawer and grabbed two spoons and went back to Applejack.
“Now we taste test.”
She handed Applejack one of the spoons and they both went over to the bowl.
“1, 2, 3,”
They both said as they dipped their spoons in and took a sip.
“Man, Pinkie!” Applejack licked her lips. “This is good!”
“mmm Isn’t it?” Pinkie was savoring the flavor for more than natural before she gulped it down.
Pinkie hopped over to the fridge and grabbed the ‘impaled’ apple.
Pinkie hopped back to Applejack and smiled.
“Now, for the real surprise…”
Applejack stopped licking her lips and stared at Pinkie, confused.
“What? Oh, the apple.”
Pinkie set the apple on the counter, bottom first, leaving the stick up in the air.
Pinkie then grabbed the bowl of Caramel and took a ladle she set out in the beginning, and scooped up some caramel in it.
She put the bowl down and gave Applejack a determined look.
“Are you ready, Applejack?”
Applejack gulped and then answered.
“ah think.”
Both mares stared intently at the apple as Pinkie hung the ladle over it.
They both sat on the ground, leaving only their snouts and up visible.
Pinkie very slowly and carefully tilted the ladle so the caramel will flow out.
Applejack gulped as she watched the caramel smoothly flow out of the spoon on to one of her best apples.
When the caramel finally hit the apple the two earth ponies were mesmerized as the caramel dripped and drizzled slowly down the side.
Pinkie was too mesmerized to move and ended up pouring the entire ladle.
Some of it dripping off the counter.
When Pinkie and Applejack snap out of their gaze, they took Mrs. Cake’s hair dryer, and dried their caramel covered creation.
Pinkie picked it up by the stick and looked at Applejack.
“We’ll both take a bite on three, ok?”
Applejack grinned.
“ok,” She leaned into the caramel covered apple.
“one,” AppleJack said
“two,” Pinkie added
They took a small pause to make sure they were ready.
“Three!”
They both said as they dived in for a bite.
They pulled back.
Eyes wide.
“This. It. AMAZING!”
Pinkie shouted jumping up in the air dropping the apple, leaving it to applejack to catch it.
“This is the tastiest thing I’ve ever tasted!” Applejack said with her mouth full.
A half an hour later
Pinkie laid on the ground looking drunk.
Applejack’s face was buried in the caramel bowl with sticky caramel stuck up in her messy hair.
“hey… Hey Applejack..”
Applejack lifted her head out of the bowl, revealing her half caramel covered face.
“Yes Pinkie Pie…”
“We should sell these at the next sisterhooves social race-thing coming up…”
Applejack got a cute smile from Pinkie.
“hehe, yeah.”
Applejack gave the pink mare a goofy crooked smile, then her face fell back into the bowl of caramel.
The next morning
“Pinkie Pie!! Applejack!!” Mrs. Cake yelled.
Both mares woke up and scrambled to their feet.
Applejack’s face covered in caramel and Pinkie’s covered in apple juice.
“girls?” Mr. Cake said. “What did you do last night?”
Pinkie and Applejack looked at eachother and smiled, Then looked back at the Cakes.
“We created something amazing.”
Pinkie said right before giving Applejack a brohoof.
The end.
