Hungry Pumpkin Visits Sugarcube Corner
Pinkie Pie leaned on the counter with her elbows glued to the top. She smiled at the new guests who had just walked in, ready to serve with a smile! It was Lyra and her friend Derpy. Derpy had a reputation for destroying things, but Pinkie did not care the least. Lyra slowly walked up to the counter first with Derpy walking (stumbling) behind her, and was looking at all of the sample deserts behind the glass counter.
When she reached the counter, Pinkie was beaming more than the sun ever could and seemed almost desperate for Lyra to tell her what she wanted to eat. Lyra opened her mouth and spoke,
"Hey Pinkie Pie! I would like a carrot cake please. "
"How big?! regular size or super duper size! The Cakes dont make super duper sizes, but I bet I can sneak you some..." said Pinkie while raising her hoof to her mouth to block out their conversation.
Pinkie jumped when she heard the next part. "Pinkie Pie! You had better not be selling anyone super duper sized treats!" yelled Mr. Cake from the kitchen. He sounded serious.
"Not at all Mr. Cake!" yelled Pinkie before she raised a hoof to her mouth again and dragged Lyra in. "I'm still up to making them for you if you want them..." she whispered.
Lyra pulled away and levitated out her purse from her pockets (Pocket Skin?) and said, "No Pinkie, I just want the standard size."
"Okie Dokie Lokie! That will be 4 bits!" Pinkie said happy. Lyra levitated the bits out of her purse and dropped them onto the glass counter where they hit the glass with several loud *Klangs!* and continued to spin around until they fell over. Pinkie pulled the cake out of seemingly nowhere and put it into a small decorative plastic box for her to carry it around with. Lyra accepted it with a nod of her head and went to go sit at whatever table she fancied. She and Derpy were the only customers here today, so any table was available.
Derpy knew it was her turn, so she trotted up to the counter and slammed into it with her face, leaving some spittle on the counter. Pinkie didn't seem to mind. "Hi Derpy! What can I get you today?!"
"Aye would like a chocolate muffeen please!" Derpy said in her derped voice.
"Coming right up! That'll be 3 bits please! Oh, and do tell me if you want a super duper sized muffin..." said Pinkie, whispering that last part.
"BOY I WOULD LOVE A SUPER DUPER SIXED MUFFEEN!!" Derpy yelled loudly much to Pinkie's dismay.
"PINKIE! If I have to tell you one more time not to sell items that are not on the menu, then I will ban you from your hourly cupcake!"
"Okay Okay I promise! Cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye!" Pinkie yelled back to Mr. Cake.
"That's what I thought..." mumbled Mr. Cake in the kitchen.
Pinkie pulled a chocolate cupcake from out of seemingly nowhere and packaged it for Derpy. Derpy handed her the muffins that she was storing in her skin pocket and placed it on the counter. Pinkie handed her the cupcake and she left with a stumble to meet up with Lyra whom was just starting on her carrot cake. Pinkie was happy to serve!
Pinkie Pie sat behind the counter on the floor and played jacks with herself to pass the time. Pinkie kept herself from getting bored by imagined the jacks and dragons and the ball as a cotton candy cloud. It was then that she heard the bell to the entrance ring with footsteps soon following. She had another customer! Pinkie peeked over the counter and saw a large pumpkin with legs wearing blue jeans. It also had arms with purple long sleeves, but it didn't seem to have any shirt on. It had big green eyes that stared into space.
Pinkie did not judge what her customers look like, no matter how weird, so she put on her smile face and got ready to serve. Before she could greet her new customer he turned right and headed straight for the table next to where Lyra and Derpy were sitting. They just looked over and got scared of the pumpkin and tried to hide their fear by keeping their heads down to eat. Pinkie figured that he wanted to get waited on, which was rude of him, but Pinkie couldn't blame him because he looks completely new to Ponyville. That reminded Pinkie Pie to throw a welcome party for him later.
Pinkie walked over to the table to greet her new guest. "Welcome to Sugarcube corner sir! My name is Pinkie Pie and I am glad to serve you today! There was nothing but silence as Pinkie waited for him to acknowledge her presence. He did not, so Pinkie talked first. "How can I help you?"
"Give me the soda." the pumpkin said blandly in a robotic voice.
"Please?" said Pinkie mad at his rudeness.
"Give me the soda." it said again blandly.
Pinkie Pie said nothing else, but she did frown a bit in anger as she walked to get the guest his soda. She walked into the kitchen and pulled out a liter of soda and poured some in a plastic cup that she had in a cabinet. She trotted back to the table with the pumpkin and placed the soda on the table. He looked down at it with his green eyes and picked it up to drink. But to Pinkie's surprise he ate the whole cup! He ate it as if it was nothing and sat there with a smile.
"That'll be 1 bit!" said Pinkie happy to see a smile.
The pumpkin only responded with "Give me the cupcake."
"Okay, I'll put it on your tab then." said Pinkie with a smile. She walked into the kitchen and went over to her cupcake fridge. She pulled it open only to find it empty. She knew that she should've controlled her appetite. She backed up to close the fridge and thought of other things that her guest might like.
"Hmmmm, a muffin would do nicely! It's the closest thing to a cupcake after all!" she said and walked over to the muffin fridge to pull out a chocolate muffin. How she pulled them out of thin air earlier was just one of Pinkie Pie's antics. Pinkie notice Mrs. Cake come in and start to mop the floor. "Mrs. Cake, we need more cupcakes."
"Alright deary, I'll get to it as soon as possible."
Pinkie Pie walked back out into the dining room and approached the pumpkin. Lyra and Derpy were still pretty freaked out, and still had their heads down. Pinkie placed the muffin on the table. "We were all out of cupcakes, so I got you the next best thing!" said Pinkie while she pointed both of her hooves at it. The pumpkin almost took no time to look at it before he back-handed the muffin off of the table and flinged it at Lyra. Derpy caught it mid air and started to eat it.
"NO! I don't want that!" yelled the pumpkin. "Give me the cupcake."
"Don't be mad! I'll get you something else!" yelled Pinkie Pie. She bolted back into the kitchen and pulled out an apple fritter in the fridge straight from Applejack's farm. She rushed back to the table and put it down for the pumpkin. He slapped it away, and this time it hit Lyra in the head and exploded on impact in a sugary mess of apples. Lyra said nothing though as she was too scared of the pumpkin's strange presence to say anything.
"NO! I don't want that!" yelled the pumpkin again. "Give me the cupcake!"
Pinkie rushed back into the kitchen and pulled a slice of red velvet cake out of the cake fridge. She noticed Mrs. Cake making cupcakes, but did not bother to wait for her to make the cupcakes to serve the pumpkin with because of her quirk of wanting to make everypony happy. She again rushed back into the dining room and put the cake upon the table. It of course was slapped off pretty quickly where it met the wall. Lyra and Derpy were ducked down very low now, so it was hard for them to get hit.
"NO! I don't want that!" Give me the cupcake." it yelled still smiling like a madpony.
Pinkie ran back into the kitchen and pulled out a banana crème pie to serve. She decided to give him the whole pie to hopefully show how understanding she was of his frustration for not having a cupcake. She ran back into the dining room and placed it on the table. Before he could thwack it again, Mrs. Cake walked into the dining room.
"Pinkie Pie! those cupcakes you requested are ready!". How did Mrs. Cake make cupcakes so bucking fast?!
"NO! I don't want that!" yelled the pumpkin as he smacked the cake with his other hand, sending it straight at Mrs. Cakes face. It collided with a squishing noise. "Give me the cupcake."
Mrs. Cake wiped the pie off of her face where it smacked on the floor. Pinkie Pie ran over to Mrs. Cake looking concerned. "Oh my Celestia are you alright!"
"Who or what is that?!" Mrs. Cake said while pointing at the pumpkin.
"He's this weird customer who wants a cupcake. I offered him some other food but he went crazy and threw it all over the place!" said Pinkie.
"I won't stand for this!" said Mrs. Cake trotted upstairs to go fetch her husband who will hopefully get the crazy guest out of Sugarcube corner. Pinkie did nothing as there was nothing she could do, so she waited to see what happened.
It wasn't long before Mr. Cake came down the stairs and took a good look at the pumpkin. He was pretty freaked out by how creepy the thing looked, but he tried to not let that get to him. He walked over to the table. "I'm sorry sir, but we can't allow you to stay here if you're just going to throw our food everywhere. I'll have to ask you to leave."
Mr. Cake's speech was met with silence, until the pumpkin started to talk. "Give me the cupcake."
"I'm sorry sir I can't gi-"
"Give me the cupcake."
"No I-"
"Give me the cupcake."
"I am sorry but I cannot gi-"
"Give me the cupcake."
"For the last ti-"
"Give me the cupcake."
"I WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE CUPCAKE!" yelled Mr. Cake as he slammed his hoof on the table which nearly broke it, but the pumpkin still looked unfazed.
"Give me the cupcake."
"Just give him the cupcake!" yelled Mrs. Cake. Pinkie heard her and ran into the kitchen to snatch up a freshly cooked cupcake. She threw it onto her back and ran to the table where she let it slide off of her back and onto the table. The Pumpkin looked down and picked it up. He ate it in one bite with a phlegmy gulp.
"That was terrible. I'm never comin' back here!" said the pumpkin as it rose from its chair and bolted for the door. It turned a corner and disappeared.
"WAIT! YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYHING!" yelled Mr. Cake as he bolted for the door and slammed it open. He looked around the corner where the pumpkin disappeared but it was already gone. Lyra and Derpy have seen enough, so they got up and started to leave. Derpy flew into the wall in a failed attempt at flying out and put a hole in it with her bullet snout.
"Sowwy!" she exclaimed as she left with Lyra in a hurry.
Mr. Cake felt his anger boiling over and felt as if he were about to explode any second. He ran outside so his wife didn't see him and looked up to the sky. He let out the angriest scream ever created by a pony his size. All of the passerby's looked at him and fear and ran away.
"PUUUUUUUUUUUMPKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!!!!!"
