Muffins?

Pinkie waited and waited and waited for Rainbow Dash to wake up. Had she given her too much? She had given Dashy more sleepies than what she gave to previous guests and more than when she lived on the Rock farm. She bit her lip and whimpered. She wanted to start now!

Pinkie Pie heard a clopping from outside which made Rainbow Dash stir but no success in waking the pegasus. Her ears pricked up when she heard the sound of a lock and she saw a peep of light travel inside the basement. Pinkie's tummy growled with hunger, maybe two batches of cupcakes were best.

The hatch to the basement flung open, a black figure standing at the top of the stairs, and Pinkie sighed. She trotted over to the wall and grabbed a shovel hinged to it, she went over to the bottom of the stairs awaiting the moment when the pony's curiosity over took her. She clasped the shovel in her hooves ready to swing, the pony's sweet voice called out into the basement.

Obviously the mare's eyes hadn't adjusted to the dark and all it looked like was black to her. The figure took one shaky hoof and laid it down on the first step. She tumbled and turned and fell into the darkness, the mare turned her head to the light and Pinkie then saw the pony's face. Derpy! Then Pinkie remembered the cupcakes...

"Derpy, I told you not to come down here..." The crossed eyed pony's face lightened when she heard Pinkie and then rose flushed her cheeks.

"Oh, sorry Pinkie Pie! I was hoping you could make muffins...?" Derpy asked, hope in her voice. She looked at Pinkie in anticipation.

"Sorry Derpy, I have Rainbow Dash with me right now and we're making cupcakes! Tell you what though, if you don't tell no pony about the basement I'll bake muffins for you next time!"

Derpy's eyes looked a bit duller when she heard the news but she kept a smile on her face. "Okie dokie lokie!" The pegasus flew up into the light and the hatch shut.

Derpy was an exception for cupcakes, Pinkie knew she wouldn't tell because they were cake friends. Maybe one day Derpy could help with the pastries... Pinkie shook her head and her memory jolted back online, Dashy was her guest and it would be rude to have her wake up to a pony's back!
