“Honey, get the water! Woolie’s back!” Mister Cake yelled as he ran upstairs and armed himself with a broom.

Miss Cake meanwhile was preoccupied with smacking the large fiend with an oven mitt to mediocre results. “Shoo, shoo! Bad Woolie!”

The girls eventually arrived upstairs and watched as both Mister Cake and his wife start beating the large dark figure who was shoveling pies that were cooling on a rack down his gullet, tin and crust all. Eventually though, their efforts made some impact for the thieving monster retreated out of the kitchen and through the front door. With the beast gone Miss Cake and her husband were left a panting and exhausted mess.

“Aw man, he got away. He didn’t even give us a chance to ask him for a contract!” Rainbow Dash said.

“Contract?” Mister Cake asked before slapping his forehead. “Oh, you thought that was Satan? No no no girls. I don’t even think that was a demon. In fact, I think that was just some guy, his name is Woolie.”

“Woolie?”

“Yeah, a few times when we tried to invoke Mephistopheles we accidentally summoned Woolie. He doesn’t even do anything good! He just lies to people and steals pies. And when you’re running a bakery, pies are about fifty percent of your profits, so you can see why we don’t like him.”

“So what about our contract? What are we supposed to do now?”

Mister Cake shrugged. “I don’t know, girls. Sorry about that. Maybe you can go to the crossroads instead?”

All the girls collectively groaned. “But that’s on the other side of town!”

Bickering of a most banal sort ensued, but it was not long before Twilight just gave up and went towards the exit. Soon enough, her friends and Mister Cake noticed this, and followed her just before she was out the door.

“Oh, Twilight, you have a plan?” Mister Cake asked

Twilight turned to the group and nodded. “Yeah. We basically wasted an entire day which we could’ve used for practicing, not on our own but as a band. I mean, look at what happened when we all did things on our own,” She said and gestured to the still fractured state that all the girls remained since they entered the shop. “Divided, we all ended up running into some problem or another that only held us back even more. But together, I think we can do something great. I mean, together we opened a portal to who-knows-where and summoned some guy with dreads who steals pastries.”

“Speaking of which, somebody’s got to pay for all the lost pies.”

Twilight simply ignored this remark from the shop owner. “So together, as the Equestria Girls, I think we can make this not so horrible. So who’s with me!”

A cheer rang out among her fellow bandmates and with their resolve they now united to a great cause and ventured from the shop to officially get ready to perform at the Spring Fling.
