In the Mind of Pinkie Pie

        The next morning went quite slow for Pinkie Pie. She had been standing by the counter since eight that morning waiting for a customer. Gummy was no where to be seen and boredom started building up inside Pinkie Pie making her insides feel like they were knotting up. Pinkie Pie grunted loudly knowing no pony was around to hear her. "This is taking forever." Pinkie Pie mumbled to herself. "I would just leave but what if somepony comes in and I'm not here? No, the Cake's put their full confidence in me and I'm not going to let them down." Pinkie Pie stood up tall on her four legs trying to look as vigorous as possible. "But I wish I could have just one slice of that delicious, mouth watering, sweet, icing covered, cake" Pinkie complained looking desperately at white frosted cake in the display case in the counter. Her mouth became moist with saliva and her stomach began to growl.

She gazed at it for a long time as if it were putting her in some kind of trance. It just looked so good. So tasty. She began to imagine herself going face first into the cake. Oh how she wished she could just pig out on that cake.

Pinkie Pie shook her head. "Get a hold of yourself." Pinkie Pie said to herself, "You know you're not suppose to eat any of the desserts." Pinkie Pie glanced over at the cake again. Oh how she craved that cake. The temptation was just unbearable. "Well," Pinkie Pie said in a nervous and guilty tone, "One bite wouldn't hurt, right?" She opened up cabinet to the display case in the counter and there was a rush of cool air flowing out. Pinkie Pie slowly stuck her head in getting closer to the cake inch by inch. She slowly opened her mouth, but before she could take the tiniest bite of the cake a bell rung. Pinkie Pie quickly took her head out of the display case and looked up to find Twilight Sparkle walking into the bakery.

"Hey Pinkie Pie." Twilight said approaching the counter.

"Oh, hey Twilight." Pinkie said with a hint of guilt in her voice. "What are you doing here?"

"Well I heard you were running the shop while the Cakes are away and I thought I come by and see how you were doing."

"I'm doing super, well I wasn't very super earlier, but now I am super now that you're here." Pinkie Pie said as she jumped up and down behind the counter. "Not much happens here in the morning. I thought I was going to explode from boredom."

"Well Pinkie it won't be long now till you have your hooves busy. This place gets quite crowded during lunch hour."

"Oh, well maybe you'd like to stay and help me." The pink pony said. Pinkie Pie was just now realizing that it was going to be difficult working here by herself whether Sugarcube Corner gets busy or not. Her overly hyper mind can't take such degrees of boredom. Plus she is just one pony and can't do all this work by herself. She started thinking back to the first time she babysat Pound and Pumpkin and how disastrous it was for her. All because she decided she wanted to do it alone.

"I'm sorry Pinkie Pie but I got tons of studying to catch up on and plus I'm not the baking type or the sales type either."

"It's ok, your studies are important. I just wish I had some one to help me and keep me company."

"I'm sure you'll be fine Pinkie." the lavender pony said.

"I hope so, the Cakes really trust me and I don't want to let them down."

"You won't." Twilight said. There was a long pause between the two ponies until Twilight spoke up again. "Well, I better be going. Sorry I couldn't stay longer but if I don't get my studying done now it'll never get done."

"I understand." Pinkie Pie said happy with the little time she got to shed with Twilight.

"I'll stop by later once I finish my studies." The unicorn said as she made her way out the door.

"See you later alligator." Pinkie said and at that very moment Gummy poked his little head out of the dirt of a potted plant by the door. Gummy let out a croak and Pinkie Pie giggled lightly.

        Lunch hour came and Twilight was right. Ponies came rushing in and flooded Pinkie Pie with their orders. It was so overwhelming that Pinkie Pie had to yell at everypony to get in a single file line. They did as she told them and began taking and filling their orders one by one. So many wanted cake. The cake Pinkie Pie had her eye on all morning and before she knew it it was gone.

        Gummy sat up on top of the counter, with a miniature chefs hat on his head, watching the the customers come and go with that strangely funny blank stare. At one point Gummy jumped and latched onto one of the customer's head when he approached the counter. Pinkie Pie had to put Gummy up in her room so he wouldn't cause anymore trouble.

By the time lunch hour ended all the desserts in the display case were gone. Pinkie Pie sat down and let out a sigh of great relief. The hard part was over, but now there were no more baked goods in the display case. After taking a moment to breath Pinkie Pie got up and headed towards the kitchen to refill the display case. She made her way through the double push open doors to find a room filled with all sorts of desserts. It was the most amazing thing Pinkie Pie ever laid her eyes on. There was chocolate cakes, carrot cakes, chocolate chip muffins, blue berry muffins, raspberry muffins, pumpkin pies, chocolate pies, apple pies, many bowls of chocolate moose, buckets of ice cream, pastries, and so, so, so much more. Once Pinkie Pie saw this sugary wonderland she lost all control.

The pink pony dashed over to the chocolate cakes and began eating each one of them with great speed. Cake crumbs covered the floor as she dug her face into the cake. Once those were gone she ran over to the chocolate chip muffins and literally ate all of them in one big bite. It was madness. She was eating every single dessert in the kitchen like some kind of eating machine. She made her way through the eclairs with in a matter of seconds.

         Later that day Twilight Sparkle returned to Sugarcube Corner, as promised, only to find that Pinkie Pie was not behind the counter. "Pinkie Pie." Twilight called out. There was no reply. Twilight began searching the house, starting upstairs. She checked both Pinkie Pie's room and the Cake's room but the party pony was not in either one of them. She went downstairs and made her way to the kitchen

Maybe she's baking some more sweets Twilight thought to herself.

She went through the double push open doors to discover what looked to be a massacre. Crumbs and shattered glass from plates and bowls covered the floor. And in the center of the kitchen laid Pinkie Pie, on her back, eyes closed, and covered in chocolate and crumbs.

"Pinkie Pie" Twilight called out, but her friend didn't speak or move. She just laid their as if she were sleeping. Twilight rushed over to Pinkie Pie and placed her ear on her chest. She wasn't breathing. "Oh my gosh." Twilight whispered to herself. The lavender began preforming CPR on Pinkie Pie. She pushed her hooves down on her stomach multiple times until Pinkie Pie coughed up an unchewed muffin. Pinkie Pie was now breathing and was then taken to the hospital.
