Six ponies entered the bakery, four walking, one flying, one bouncing. The flying pony landed as the bouncing one rushed to the kitchen and called "Mr Cake! Mrs Cake! I'm back!" and then rushed back out to the table where her supposed friends were. Of course they were there, and they never failed to put a smile on her face. The pink pony, Pinkie Pie, pulled out six milkshakes from her mane, handing them out as she listed the names of the ponies she was giving them to. "One for Twilight, one for Dashie, one for AJ, one for Fluttershy, one for Rares and one for me!"

"Thank you, darling."

"Thanks, Pinks."

"Thank you, Pinkie Pie."

"Thanks..."

"Thank ya'll."

The group of friends talked among themselves, generally having a great time. Fluttershy and Rarity were engrossed in talking about the newest fashion trends, while Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Twilight were debating the Trotland government, the Apple and the pegasus saying "No" to independence and Twilight saying "Yes", both sides giving their reasons why. In the middle of it all was Pinkie Pie, trying to get hold of one of her friends for at least two seconds.

"Hey, do you remember the time when-"

"Just a minute, darling Pinkie."

"Dashie, remember that really funny private joke we had-"

"Just a sec, Pinks."

Suddenly the door to the bakery swung open and three familiar fillies came trotting in and up to the table. When they couldn't get hold of their friends, even Pinkie, they thought that fulfilling a dare (by Diamond Tiara herself) set half an hour before their arrival would prove to be interesting. She had dared them to snoop around the bakery kitchen. Going in the kitchen was a good idea that wouldn't bore them much. Since when was going into a busy and potentially dangerous kitchen just for a dare a bad idea?

The Crusaders tiptoed through the crowds and underneath tables as they made their way to the kitchen door. Scootaloo grinned. "Here we go, into the kitchen, to fulfil the dare."

"It's gonna be so cool!" Sweetie Belle whispered back.

"Uh, Crusaders, dontcha think that we should just drop the dare-"

"Come on!" Scootaloo hissed. "If we don't, we're not hearing the end of it!"

Apple Bloom reluctantly agreed in the end and they all went over to the kitchen door. Sweetie Belle looked up at it, the door dwarfing her small figure. "We need to get in there quick, unless you want somepony to see us."

"Yup, so let's go, Crusaders."

Scootaloo jumped and buzzed in the air in excitement. "Wooh-"

"Shhhh!" A white hoof appeared over Scootaloo's mouth. "Let's go!"

They opened the kitchen door ever so slightly and a sweet smell, sweeter than the eating area, wafted through. Nopony seemed to notice the door was ajar, or that three fillies were stood eagerly, an orange hoof opening the door wider and wider. As soon as it was open enough, the Crusaders rushed in and hid against a counter. Mrs Cake walked past and went through the door, not noticing them. The three sighed in relief. "Let's split up, it'll give us a better chance at stayin' here fer longer."

The three split up and Scootaloo hid in a bin, Sweetie behind a counter and Apple Bloom in a large cupboard. When Scootaloo peeked through the gap between the bin's lid and the bin, she could see Mr Cake with a plate of leftovers in his mouth. Crud. She forgot that she was in a bin. Mr Cake approached the bin and cracked the lid open, just a little. Scootaloo shrunk down a little. He lifted the lid off fully, causing Scootaloo to be seen. Mr Cake jumped and dropped the plate of leftovers, causing it to shatter on the floor and food to sprawl everywhere. "Y-You! What have you been doing in here? Answer me! It can't just be you, can it, where are your friends? Oh dear, I'm rambling."

"Well, I guess we lost the dare..." Sweetie mumbled.

"Ah knew this weren't a good idea from the start," Apple Bloom said. "If they'd just have listened to me..."

"Well?" Mr Cake said.

"Okay! We got lost!"

"Scootaloo..." the baker replied in a menacing tone.

The pressure was bearing down on the filly. "Me and the Crusaders were doing a dare! I'msosorry-"

"Where are your friends? You are all getting punished for this."

They both found Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom soon enough and they were led out into the dining area. Mr Cake walked up to the table where the girls were sat and got their attention by clearing his throat. They all looked on and they saw Sweetie, Apple Bloom and a slightly smelly Scootaloo. "Your sisters here have been snooping around in my kitchen and made me drop a plate of leftovers!" Mr Cake said angrily.

"Squirt..."

"Sweetie!"

"Apple Bloom..."

Sweetie Belle looked up to her sister. "Sorry..."

"Yeah..." Scootaloo smiled unconvincingly.

"Ah'm sorry sis, Ah shouldn't have..."

The three older mares looked at each other and back to their younger sisters or friends. The three spoke in unison. "You're grounded."

"Aww..." the fillies said in unison.

Pinkie spoke up. "Hey, this is a random thought, but... we've all done bad things as a filly, right?" Everypony nodded, even Twilight after a moment's hesitation. "Why don't we tell each other bad things we've done? Just to spice up the conversation a notch? I'll go first." She rubbed her chin. "Hmm..."

Well, here's another filly-based story. It will be told like a normal story but sometimes others will intervene.
