My GBF Knows Best

Applejack sat on the porch and waited for me to plop my flank on the wood floor as well. She took a deep breath and exhaled as the wind blew some of the leaves from the trees into a curving dance in the sky. She then turned to me and smiled.

"So, What's your name?"

"It's Scribble. Scribble Smooch", I replied.

"You just moved here?"

I nodded, "With my friend Knit Pink. We thought we had money in the bank but nothing was there so, I asked Braeburn if you or your brother could help us find jobs.."

She sighed then caught herself and chuckled. I told her I would love to work in retail or goods for Knit and I then her chuckle began to increase in volume and depth. I don't know what I said or did but she was liking it. She got up and patted my back, it hurt a bit from how strong she was but I smiled along with her. She walked down the porch and gestured for me to follow her.

After a while of unquestionable trailing, she led me to a bakery. It was bright and colorful in an inviting way. You could smell everything that was being baked inside and it made my stomach growl. She walked in and I followed but stopped at the register in awe of the incredible decorating. The smells were even stronger inside as I turned to see the cakes and treats on display. After Applejack rang the counter bell, a light blue pony walked up with her pink mane swirled as if it was icing. She smiled and asked how she can help us and Applejack told her everything and that I needed a job as soon as possible. She nodded and told us to sit while she talked to her husband. After we sat down, a skinny yellow and tall pony came up with shakes and pulled a chair up to sit with us. Applejack smiled and shook his hoof as if they've known each other for quite some time. He then slid a shake towards her and I then introduced himself.

"My name is John Carrot Cake but you can call me Mr. Cake. I heard you were looking for a job and turns out I do have an opening. You just moved here so this'll be a great way for you to meet new ponies. If you are interested, let me know and I'll get you started first thing tomorrow"

"Of course, sir. I would love to work here"

"Oh great! Then let me introduce you to the staff. Come with me", he said while getting up and walking behind the counter.

I followed close behind and walked up the stairs to what seemed like their home. He told me that no pony is allowed up here unless told to do so. He trotted towards the first door on the left and nudged it open. I leaned into the door frame and looked down, seeing two little foals. Both were very adorable and tiny, I asked if I could say hi and stooped down to their level and let them touch my mane and muzzle.

"These two are my babies. That one is Pound Cake and the other is Pumpkin Cake. Careful, she's not so good with her magic yet"

Unfortunately, the warning wasn't quick enough because once he finished his sentence, Pumpkin sneezed which cast a spell on me and made me cough up butterflies. She laughed along with her brother as I panicked to breathe without butterflies traveling up my throat and fluttering about the room. Mr. Cake laughed as well then patted my back, hoping to aid the spell to finish. Once it did, he closed the door and helped me downstairs.

Mr. Cake introduced me again to his wife, Mrs. Cake, then took me into the kitchen. There was a pink pony a darker shade than Knit and she had a poofy curly and pink mane. She had just started putting the uncooked cupcakes in the oven so all I saw was a plot which made me blush and look away. Mr. Cake called for her attention and her blue eyes met mine. She was hyperactive as she shook my hoof and sang a greeting song for moving to Ponyville then pushed a cannon into the kitchen which burst confetti everywhere. I have to admit, it was startling yet warmingly pleasant. After she was done, she asked for my name while making the batter for the next pastry. I introduced myself and told her I might work here. She smiled and thanked me for joining since everyponies' hooves have been full for the past week. Mr. Cake walked me to the register and I gave him my address and who else to contact if I can't be reached. After that, I was on my way to the front to meet up with Applejack but she left after Mr. Cake took me upstairs.

I made my way home and met up with Knit who was washing himself in the shower. I asked him how meeting Big Mac was in a sensual tone and laughed as he told me to shut up. I walked to my room and noticed a bag on my bed. I asked Knit what it was but he just told me that Applejack brought it over. I opened it and smiled to find a nice warm apple pie with a welcome cake and a note.

Welcome to Ponyville, boys. Good Luck on starting a new.
