I Can Quit Anytime I Want

Angel Star's POV

So far, it's only been three weeks since I moved here, and let me tell you a lot happened within those weeks! Margaret introduced me to everypony in town, though sometimes I have trouble remembering some of their names. Anyways, it was a great town! The number one thing that I would always do whenever I had the chance to, was visit Sugarcube Corner and get myself oh, maybe a few cookies….Ok, a lot of cookies! Sometimes I would buy so many that I stashed them away somewhere in the kitchen. Though, a lot of times Margaret would always be smart enough to find the hiding places, so I would have to look for a new hiding place. Also, when I would eat them at times she would give me a worried look. I don't know why though.

One day, while Margaret was out doing her pranking, I decided that since my cookie stash was running low, that I would sneak my way over to Sugarcube Corner and buy some more cookies, and maybe other sweets! How do I avoid Margaret you ask? Easy! By casting an invisibility spell on myself of coarse!

I cast the invisibility spell on myself and I was off! CHOCOLATE HERE I COME!!!

Margaret's POV

Today was going to be an awesome day! I had just got my hoofs (not really) on some Poison Joke, and my target for today was somepony by the name of Bon Bon. I shrugged, and was off to prank said pony.

As I was moving my way through town looking for Bon Bon, I noticed something strange going on at Sugarcube Corner when I went near it. The ponies inside seemed to run out of the place, and looked like they just seen a ghost. Curious, I decided to go over there, and try and see what the heck was going on.

As I went inside, the place was completely empty, and the only pony in there was Pinkie Pie who kept feeding something invisible.

I then asked, "Um, Pinkie Pie? Who are you feeding?"

"Isn't it obvious?" She replied.

"No."

"It's your friend Angel Star, duh!"

A look of pure shock was on my face as I said, "WHAT!!!??" Then got replaced with anger.
"Angel? What are you doing?!"

Angel then turned back to normal, turned around with chocolate all over her face, and asked, "…MARGARET!!! What are you doing here?!"

"I saw a bunch of ponies running away from this place, so I went to check it out. I think they thought you were a ghost or something, but why didn't you cast an invisibility spell on yourself?"

She looked down at the ground and said, "Well…"

Oh I knew this was going to be good.

Angel Star's POV

I made my way over to Sugarcube Corner, and as soon as I went inside I saw them. All the wonderful, chocolatey, delicious desserts that were behind that awful glass. I walked up to where the desserts were, and saw that Pinkie Pie was working here today.
I pulled out my bits and put them on the counter where Pinkie was.

"Give me as many chocolate desserts as you can!" I exclaimed.

"Okie dokie lokie!" Said Pinkie, as she gave me a ton of desserts.

I didn't have time to go and sit down, so I just ate it all right there. There was some things I didn't notice though, one was that I still had my invisibility spell on, and two was that the place was completely empty. I was so into my desserts that I didn't care. I even heard Pinkie talking to somepony, but I still didn't care…that is until I heard Pinkie Pie say my name.

I turned slightly to see Margaret standing there looking confused as ever.
OH NO!!! Was all I could think of at the moment.
Maybe it was a good thing that my invisibility spell was still on…that is until she started talking to me. I'm so dead.

Margaret's POV

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My friend just explained everything to me and…I was so speechless right now.
"Angel…I think you have a problem." I said, now trying to be as calm as possible.

"No I don't!" She exclaimed.

"Ugh! Look, we'll talk about this when we get home. Now come on!" I said, dragging her away.

"B-But Margaret! Didn't you have a pony to prank?" She asked, almost desperately.

"That can wait, we need to talk about this now!"

"Oh come on…"

As we were walking out of the store I told Pinkie to tell everypony that her place wasn't haunted, and she gave me an "Okie dokie lokie! Have a nice day!" I nodded, and headed straight for home with Angel.

Well it was time to finally talk to Angel about her sugar problem, so as soon as I closed the door to our house, I sat down with her in the kitchen and said, "Alright Angel, we need to talk about your sugar addiction."

"What ever do you mean?" She said, giving me an innocent look with puppy dog eyes to match.

Unconvinced, I said, "Don't play innocent with me Angel! I already saw you eating all those sweets in the kitchen and now your doing the same thing at Sugarcube Corner? Thats insane! You could get a really bad stomach ache from eating all those sweets!"

"Thats nonsense Margaret! I can never get a-" We then heard the loudest gurgle I ever heard coming from Angel's stomach.
"Um, I'll be right back!" Before I could say anything, she was already gone.

I then rested my head on one of my arms and said, "This is gonna be one heck of a day…"

Hope you enjoyed the story! :D

WHAT DID THAT CUPCAKE DO TO YOU!!!??

After waiting for almost an hour, I saw Angel coming back from her little…trip. She sat down on one of the chairs across from me at the table, and gave me another innocent look. "So," I started. "How's your stomach?"

I started smirking at her, but then she kept giving me that innocent look. "It's fine Margaret! Why do you ask?" She said, smiling at me.

"I asked you, because you had too many sweets! Plus, your starting to get really addicted to them! You NEED to stop!" I exclaimed, pointing an accusing hoof at her.

She looked at me nonchalantly and said, "You know what Margaret? I just realized that that was a good break from chocolate-OH!!! Chocolate sounds so good right about now!" Before I could say anything, she already teleported out of the room.

"OH COME ON!!!"

Angel's POV

I don't know what Margaret's problem was, but whatever, it's chocolate time! I was making my way over to Sugarcube Corner when I started to see Margaret running in my direction behind me. Uh-oh, this is not good! Thinking fast, I immediately teleported myself into Sugarcube Corner, walked up to the counter, and before I could ask Pinkie what I wanted, I spotted a peculiar looking cupcake just sitting there behind the glass. As for the cupcake itself, it was colored in different shades of brown and white, and had a LOT of colored sprinkles on it.

Since I never seen the cupcake before, I asked, "Hey Pinkie? What type of cupcake is that?"

Pinkie Pie stared wide eyed at it, and said, "Thats a very, very, VERY, very, lots of verys special cupcake!"

Confused, I raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why is it special? Did you put some sort of special ingredients in it to make it taste good? Or maybe it has something to do with the way it looks?"

"Nope! Well the special ingredients part was really close though, BUT it actually makes you-"

Unfortunately, before Pinkie Pie could finish what she was saying, Margaret bursted in and looked really, REALLY angry at me….not good. She also started to slowly and dramatically walk towards me. I could of sworn I heard intense background music coming from somewhere.
I started panicking, and quickly turned to Pinkie Pie and asked, "Pinkie quick! Before Margaret gets here! How much do you want for that cupcake?"

"Are you sure you wanna buy it Angel? I mean the thing that it does is-"

Dang it Pinkie! I ain't got no time for this! Almost desperately I said, "YES!!! I'm sure! Now just tell me how much you want!"

"Okie dokie lokie! It'll cost you three bits!" She said cheerfully.

"Here!" I put my bits on the counter, and Pinkie Pie handed me the cupcake. What I didn't know was that Margaret was only mere inches away from me! Before she could do anything though, I engulfed the cupcake. I couldn't believe it though! The flavors were dancing on my tongue in all their sugary glory! I felt amazing! No! I felt incredible! I felt like eating all the sugary sweets in the world! Wait, what?

Margaret's POV

Words cannot describe how ANGRY I was at Angel! Not only did she NOT listen to me, AND teleport away from me like that, but she ate a freaking cupcake when she WASN'T supposed to! In fact, I was so sure I got her this time…that is until she ate the cupcake and started getting really hyper.

My anger just turned into confusion as I asked Pinkie, "Pinkie Pie? What the hay was in that cupcake?!"

"Well lets see sugar, flour, a dash of cinnamon, some-"

"Thats not what I meant! I mean why is the cupcake making her loco crazy all of a sudden? What did that cupcake do to her!?" Seriously, at that time she was speaking nonsense! Although, I did catch a few words here and there. She was saying something about 'all the chocolate in the world' or something like that.

"Well, I was trying to tell her that the particular cupcake that she ate was a special cupcake. It basically makes ponies go all hyper for a while, and plus it makes them want to eat all the sugary sweets in the world!" She said, now standing on two legs with her arms in the air.

"Well, is there a way I can calm her down?" I asked.

"Oh! Just make her eat relaxing foods, and she should turn back to normal in no time." She said with a smile, while going back on all fours.

"Alright!" Well that seemed simple enough! Just feed her relaxing foods? Easy! Wait a second, "Wait, what sort of relaxing foods?"

"You know! Foods like crackers, tea, cereal, daisies. Those sorts of things!"

O…K…"Alright, thanks for the advice Pinkie."

"Oh, and you better hurry." She said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because your friend's already going out that door!" She said, pointing at the doorway to the shop.

"What!?" When I looked at the doorway, she was right. All I saw was Angel heading towards the exit quicker than usual, and the door opening and closing. A look of pure shock was plastered on my face as I said, "…..Well….that just happened…"

Problem Solved!

Oh this is bad! This is so, so, so, so VERY BAD!!! I need to stop Angel before she does something really stupid! I ran out of Sugarcube Corner as fast as my legs could carry me, and spotted Angel heading towards a small candy shop. "Oh no you don't!" I shouted, as I was preparing to cast a spell. Unfortunately, before I could do anything, Angel saw me and teleported away. Well, at least she didn't go inside the candy shop. I thought.

This was a major problem. I can't stop Angel all by myself, I NEED help! From where exactly, I don't freaking know! I started walking quickly for a bit trying to look for Angel, when I then spotted the local library ahead. A library where the librarian is really good at magic, AND Celestia's student…wait a second. Thats it! All I need to do is ask Twilight to help me catch Angel, and then turn her back to normal! IT'S PERFECT!!!

What could go wrong, nothing I hope!

I walked over to the library and knocked on the door-wait. Why was I knocking? It was a freaking library for Celestia's sake! Oh well, being polite is good I guess.

After a few seconds, I was greeted with the sight of a purple unicorn standing in the doorway. She smiled and said, "Hello! Can I help you?"

"Yes! I need your help with something." I said. "Ya see, my friend started getting WAY too addicted to sweets. I tried stopping her from going to Sugarcube Corner for a while, but she managed to sneak past me by casting an invisibility spell on herself. I then brought her back home, we talked for a bit, she teleported over to Sugarcube, she ate a weird cupcake, and NOW she's even worse!" I explained, but once I was done I was so out of breath. "So…is..there anyway…you could…help me?" I asked, while trying to catch my breath.

She looked surprised at first, but then recovered. "Hmm…maybe there's something in one of my books that can tell us what to do."
She started to look all around the library for anything that could help us. I then realized that there was a part in my story that I left out.

"Oh! Uh, Twilight? I forgot to say this, but Pinkie Pie said that only relaxing foods will calm her down."

She stopped what she was doing, and gave me an annoyed look. "You know, that could of been helpful in the first place right?"

I looked at her sheepishly while rubbing the back of my head and said, "Heh. Sorry about that."

"It's fine. So, we just need to figure out a way to catch her then?" She said, rubbing her chin.

"Yup! But let me warn you right now, she will NOT be easy to catch. Thats why I came to you for help since I can't do this on my own."

We both sat in silence for a few moments when Twilight spoke up, "I have a plan!"

Excited, I asked, "Awesome! Whats is it?"

"Ok. First, we have to find her, though that shouldn't be too hard since she'll likely be around the bakery and candy store. Once we do, you'll distract her."

"And how do I do that?" I asked.

"Simple. We'll get a piece of cake from Sugarcube Corner, and you can distract her with that. After all, I don't think anypony can resist cake." She explained.

That is true. Nopony, especially Angel can resist cake. Heck, even I have trouble resisting it sometimes! But if were going to buy a cake from Sugarcube Corner, were gonna need to get there before Angel eats everything in there.

"While, your distracting her, I'll go into a hiding spot where I can fully see the area. Like on top of a roof or something. Once I see her, I'll cast a sleep spell on her. After that, you can take it from there." She said smiling.

"Oh my gosh! That plan is perfect! Now lets not waste any time, we have a sugar-addicted pony to catch!" I said, as we left the library.

Awesome! Nothing could go wrong now!

Everything. Went. WRONG!!!
You have got to be KIDDING me! Once we got to Sugarcube Corner, EVERYTHING that was SUPPOSED to be behind the glass was gone. On top of that, Pinkie said we just missed Angel. Great, thats just freaking fantastic!
"Man! What are we supposed to do now Twilight?" I asked.

She looked down in thought, and said, "Well maybe we could-"

Before Twilight could finish what she was about to say, I said while pointing straight ahead, "Twilight! Do you see who I see!?"

We looked ahead and seen Angel Star sitting on a bench eating cake. "Quick!" Twilight said, "Before she finishes it!"

I wasted no time. I ran ahead of Twilight, and used my magic to levitate the cake away from Angel. From the look on her face, I knew that she was not happy. "HEY!!!" She shouted. "Give me back my chocolate cake Margaret!"

You know, this works out so well since my talent is LITERALLY trolling. I smirked at her and asked, "Oh, do you mean this chocolate cake?"

She glared daggers at me and said, "Thats MY piece!"

I taunted her by saying, "You want this cake?"

At this point, she looked pissed. "I want it!"

I taunted her some more by moving the cake a few inches from her, and said, "You really want it?"

This time she looked like she was on the verge of exploding. She lunged at the cake and said, "I WANT THAT CAKE!!!"

I quickly pulled it away from her causing her to crash onto the ground, and did the cruelest thing ever. I took a bite from the cake and said, "Mmm! This is so good!"

Twilight then said behind me, "Margaret! Quit fooling around! I need to get a clear shot at her, and you keep making her move!"

"Hold on Twilight!" I exclaimed.

She quickly got back up, lunged at the cake again, and practically screamed, "GIVE ME THAT CAKE MARGARET!!!"

I moved it slightly out of reach and calmly said, "No way."

She crashed on the ground again, but when she got back up, her eyes were full of anger, and her top looked like it was about to pop. "YOU GIVE ME THAT CAKE RIGHT NOW!!!"

Alright, thats enough trolling for one day. I moved out of the way, and said, "Twilight, NOW!!!"
As soon as I said that, Twilight fired up her horn, and blasted Angel with the sleep spell.

"Well, it didn't exactly go according to plan, but everything turned out alright either way." Twilight said.

"Yeah. Thanks Twilight! Now of you'll excuse me, I have a friend to calm down." I said, putting her on my back.
"Well see ya Twilight!"

After we waved goodbye to each other, I headed straight for home before the sleep spell wore off.

Well it took a couple hours, but after finally calming her down with relaxing foods, she turned back to normal.

"Ugh! Uh, Margaret what happened? Why does my head hurt, and why does my stomach feel like it was on a roller coaster a thousand times?" She asked.

"Well Angel, you…kinda had WAY too many sweets from getting addicted to them by eating a weird cupcake." I said, rubbing the back of my head.

"I-wait, WHAT!!!??" She said, with a shocked expression on her face. That shocked expression was quickly replaced with guilt. "Oh man! I'm so sorry Margaret! I don't know what I was thinking! Will you ever forgive me?" She said with pleading eyes.

"Of coarse I forgive you Angel! You are my friend after all!" I said with a smile. "But I hoped you learned something from this."

"Huh?"

"Do you see what happens when you eat too much sugar? You went ballistic! Look, I know those sweets taste good and all, but having too much of a good thing can sometimes be bad for you. You can still have sweets, just have them in moderation and everything will be fine." I explained.

"Oh. Probably should have done that in the first place huh?" She asked, looking sheepishly at me.

"Ya think?" I said. We both laughed, and then I had to tell Angel one more thing. "Uh, Angel?"

"Yes Margaret?"

"Take this." I said, handing her a toilet paper roll. "Your gonna need it."

"Margaret, what are you-" She was interrupted by her stomach making gurgling sounds. "I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!!!" She exclaimed, running to you know where.

"Ah, it's great to have the old Angel back!" I said with a smile.
