Babysitting a Pie, Piece of Cake
We need a sitter
It was a beautiful morning in Ponyville. As usual Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich go to work at Sugarcube Corner in the morning. They even brought their month old foal, Cheesecake. This little foal has a yellow coat, pink mane, and blue eyes. The Cake twins live playing with her when she comes over. It reminds Pinkie when she used to foal sit the twins.
"Hey Aunt Pinkie! Hey Uncle Cheese," yelled both twins from upstairs.
"Hey you two. Looks like some pony wants to play with you," Pinkie said as she put Cheesecake on the ground.
Cheesecake ran over to the twins.
"Are you ready to play your favorite game in all of Equestria," asked Pound.
"Duh. Of course she is. Right Cheesecake," said Pumpkin.
Cheesecakes laughed in excitement.
The twins ran upstairs, and got two boxes that they had made specifically for this game. They climbed into each of the boxes, and the game has officially begun.
"Where's Pumpkin Cake? Where's Pumpkin Cake? Here I am!"
"Where's Pound Cake? Where's Pound Cake? Here I am!"
Cheesecake laughed some more. She ran up to give the twins a hug.
"You no what CC," CC was the nickname Pumpkin gave her," I can't wait 'til your first birthday party. I bet your mommy and daddy will make it extra special." Pumpkin said laying on back with Cheesecake on her stomach.
"Yeah," said Pound laying next to Pumpkin," I can see it know. Man that party will be a blast."
Pinkie Pie walked by as the twins were talking. Their conversation made her remember something that she forgot about.
"OH MY CELESTIA! THE PARTY!"
"What party'" asked Mr. and Mrs. Cake.
"My stars, the party that we said we would host in Phillydelphia. We got a really good opportunity," said Cheese Sandwich.
"How could I have completely forget about it," Pinkie Pie cried.
"To be fair sweetie, you did just have a little filly not too long ago," Mrs. Cake told her.
"Oh wherever are we gonna find a baby sitter at this time?"
"We could always ask your friends," said Cheese.
"I know that, but they have foals of their own that they need to take care of."
"Exactly. Their parents. They would know how to take care of a foal."
"But my friends and I don't know how many kids at once we could handle. Fluttershy and Rarity have two year olds. Applejack and Twilight have one year olds. And Dashie has a three month old."
"I understand how Rainbow couldn't take her, she has a little filly that's still pretty young. Fluttershy is soft and calming, which Lightning Rose is as well. Sapphire doesn't seem to cause much trouble for Rarity. Apple Slice can be a little rough, but it looks like Applejack has him under control. Twilight looks like she's handling things pretty well with Midnight."
"That's not my point. I don't want to give my daughter to a pony who is still raising a young foal. Not that I don't trust them, I just don't know how many they could handle."
"Um, we could possibly take care of her," said the Cake twins.
"Really? You two would do that for us," said Pinkie.
"Of course. I mean we had the best foal sitter in history of foal sitters," said Pumpkin.
"Yeah it'll be a piece of cake," said Pound.

Pumpkin and Pound Cake could not be more excited to be foal sitting. They talked about what Pinkie had done with them, so they would know what to do.
"Do you guys really think you have the responsibility," asked Carrot Cake.
"Of course Daddy. Well we'll also have yours and mom's help right," Pumpkin asked her father.
"Actually, your father and I are catering in the Crystal Empire, so you two are on your own," said Cupcake.
"Oh."
"But don't worry. We're gonna have this all under control," Pound said.
Cupcake looked at her husband with concern. "Do you really think they can handle it," she asked.
"Well they were foal sat by Pinkie. At the time, we even thought Pinkie wasn't qualified to foal sit. But she proved us wrong. Pinkie was a great sitter, and I think the twins probably could pick up on some of Pinkie's techniques."
"I guess your right." The two of them smiled looking at their twins. Soon after Pinkie came running in.
"Okay. Here is her schedule and all of your guys responsibilities. So Cheesecake is currently teething, so I brought her teething rings. She will start crying so be prepared. You also have to stick to her feeding schedule. She already had breakfast, so don't feed her until lunch. She can have lunch no earlier than noon. Oh and make sure she takes her nap by 3:00 and no later. If you decide to put her down for a nap earlier, make sure it is at least fifteen minutes after she has had lunch and no less. I should also mention that after her nap she is very playful, don't let her get hurt. Oh and.." Pinkie was cut of by Cheese Sandwich.
"Don't worry sweetie. I think they can handle it," Cheese winked at the twins.
"Oh are you sure?"
"I really think we can handle this Auntie," said Pumpkin.
"Yes. It will be a piece of cake," said Pound.
"I don't know," Pinkie said turning to Cheese.
"Don't worry. They'll be fine. They probably learned from the best," said Cheese.
"Oh I guess you're right. Oh my look at the time. We better get going," Pinkie was heading out the door when Cheese stopped her.
"Uh sweetie, in order for the twins to take care of Cheesecake, they need to have Cheesecake."
Pinkie looked at her hoof realizing she still had Cheesecake in her arms. "Oh right." She took the little foal and gave her to Pumpkin. "Now be careful okay."
"Don't worry, Auntie we got it," said Pound.
"Oh all right. We better get going then."
"As for us, we best be going too," said Carrot Cake.
"Are you two ready for this," Cupcake asked. Both the twins nodded. "Well okay then."
All four ponies walked out the door. The twins looked at Cheesecake, then at each other.
"Let's do this."
