Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Cinnamon Sweets, self-proclaimed mad baker, stared at the deep red rash on her partner. The grey fur of Lunar Gadget did nothing to hide the blistering skin, going from around her cutie mark to down into unmentionable places. She frowned and looked into Lunar’s eyes once more.

“So you’re saying that… an experiment gone wrong did this… something about a liquid splash?” She raised an eyebrow in disbelief as the unicorn mare fidgeted under her steady gaze.

“Well… Yes technically.” The eyebrow rose further.

“Technically?”

“It was just an experiment gone wrong honestly. Nothing to worry about Sweets, I’ll have your muffin launcher ready by Monday.” The gray unicorn began back away slowly, going to the open door of her clichéd underground laboratory. Cinnamon harrumphed and held up a hoof, stopping the scientist right in her tracks.

“Lunar, the doctor said the rash was incredibly like a ‘diaper’ rash, he even told you to get over the counter cream for it. I also found something… of yours in the garbage.” Cinnamon stared steadily at her, while Lunar could only look on in horror, paling to a ghostly white. She cringed back waiting for the onslaught of disgust to come from the earth pony.

“Well you should be ashamed,” Lunar slumped, defeated as a single tear slowly slid down her cheek. She should have known that this sort of thing was disgusting, no matter how much of a success the experiment was, excluding the rash of course. “Don’t you know that little fillies are supposed to have adult supervision? Look what happened when you tried to do things on your own… And seeing how I am the ONLY adult in this base… I will be the one that carries that responsibility.”

Cinnamon declared in flourish, making the unicorn giggle quietly, tears almost forgotten. “But first let’s sit down for lunch and discuss a battle plan of what we’re going to do. And for you to put that cream on.” Cinnamon grins as her friend and part time employee blushes and wiggles.

“Cinnamon… thanks.”

“You should have told me about the experiment sooner. Also I still expect that muffin launcher by Monday.”

Lunar grinned at the cinnamon colored pony and nodded, “Yes ma’am.”
