Iron Cake

“No means no, huh? Nobody has ever said that to me before. Huh. I’ve gotta remember that one. That’s a nice catchphrase for my next workshop”

As Rarity and Pinkie run towards Fluttershy to pay tribute to her actions, Iron Will rode off from Fluttershy’s cottage on his way back to town. Still skeptical about what Fluttershy had said, there was still one thing on his mind from what Pinkie had stated just moments ago, grocery shopping.

It was that time of the day and the place where all the ponies spent all their hard-earned cash on necessary essentials to one’s everyday life, the same part of Ponyville where Fluttershy had gathered the ingredients for Angel’s appetizing meal. Iron Will got off his assistant goats and set his basket on one of their heads. He walked around staring at his shopping list with one eye, and trying to pay attention to where he was walking while his assistant goats followed him.

“Where can Iron Will get some yams in this puny town…?” Iron Will groaned while glancing around the area.

He looked back down to his shopping list and then suddenly somepony had stopped him in his tracks followed by the sound of broken glass shattering upon concrete, but it wasn’t anypony, it was a Zebra, it was Zecora.

“Oh, I am terribly sorry my good man, I assure you that I meant no har--- Oh my stars…” Zecora cut her jabber short and gasped as soon as she looked at the ground. Her saddlebag had opened from its loose belt which contained a variety of exotic herbs and spices contained in fragile containers. They had mixed together causing a distinct scent.

The eyebrows of Iron Will sprung up as the scent of mistake entered the nostrils. Iron Will shook his head and then glared down at Zecora.

He snapped and took in a deep breath. “WHEN SOMEPONY GETS IN MY WAY, THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY!”

Iron Will grabbed Zecora by the neck with one hand, spun her around once, then chucked her into the sky.

“HAS THIS WORLD GONE MAD?” Zecora shrieked as she flew miles away from Ponyville.

Iron Will grabbed his forehead as a severe headache had kicked into his cranium after the whole fiasco with Zecora. He held his eyes shut before the pain had subsided, and then strange feelings began to run throughout Iron Will’s entire body; a warm feeling. He gazed around the shopping area only to notice a married couple pushing two baby carriages and holding groceries. It was the Cake family.

Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake were crying ferociously in greed of their desire to return home. Mrs. Cake was trying to tend to their needs carefully as Mr. Cake tried to concentrate on more on shopping. Mrs. Cake concentrated on Pumpkin Cake first by taking her out of her carriage and rocking her gently.

Iron Will locked his eyes towards Pumpkin Cake. His body started to heat up in desire, he slowly creped around the store booths trying to remain unseen, but unfortunately that isn’t the case with Iron Will’s size. As he ignored the complaints of the shopkeepers still eyeballing Pumpkin Cake’s appearance. He was about several feet away from the cake family, and then suddenly Iron Will hit a sign post, head first. The sensational feeling in Iron Will had faded away quickly from his body as he fell to the ground. He sat up from the ground and rubbed his forehead.

“Whoa. What in Celestia happened…” Iron Will groaned as he recovered from is minor head injury.

The assistant goats walked up to Iron Will and stared directly into his eyes. He shoved them away and got back up cleaning the dirt from his lower body.

“Ugh… groceries, right.” Iron Will mumbled

He started walking around again as the sound of babies screaming to the heavens started to fade away. Little did Iron Will know what had happened, but he had already forgotten about it and continued shopping.

An hour had passed, and Iron Will had gathered all his goods before he dusted off to the next town he was supposed to venture to for another one of his workshops. He paraded through town with his two goat assistants, walking past Twilight’s Library onward to Sugarcube Corner. Midway, screams of three fillies came from a distance, drawing closer, and closer by the second. Iron Will stopped in place to draw out the noise location, then suddenly Scootaloo screamed without hesitation as a scooter and red wagon flew into the sky right above Iron Will,

“INNCOMMMINGGGGGGG!!!”

Iron Will shielded his face with his arm, but that wasn’t enough to lessen the force of the Cutie Mark Crusader’s method of transport. The Minotaur fell to the ground as the scooter and wagon collided towards Iron Will’s head, leaving a scar caused by the handle on Scootaloo’s scooter. Iron Will’s assistant goats ran off in fear from the impact. One of his horns had its tip chipped off by the metal from the wagon as well, the sheer pain ravaged through Iron Will’s Body causing him to scream in agony, then suddenly he stopped. Iron Will stood up and stared into the open towards Sugarcube Corner’s direction.

Sweetie Belle got up from the ground and looked up Iron Will. Out of curiousity and concern, she immediately sprouted out,

“We’re sorry mister… are you alright?”

Iron Will stood there with a dull look on his face as if nothing ever happened. His eyes were still locked onto Sugarcube Corner.

“Hellooooo?” Sweetie Belle insisted to get a response from Iron Will.

“I think you broke him, Scootaloo” Applebloom pointed out to Scootaloo.

“You idiot you can’t break a person like a toy! What are you an engineer?” Scootaloo replied in anger.

“No! I’m just saying it’s your fault! You knew that we wouldn’t be able to hit that ramp without getting into any mess like this!” Applebloom yelled back

“Girls! This is no time for fighting! We might have really hurt this guy!” Sweetie Belle asserted towards the two young fillies.

“Yeah well at least I know how to use a scooter; you couldn’t even ride a tricycle if your sister’s life depended on it!” Scootaloo stated ignoring Sweetie Belle’s calls for attention.

“Don’t you bring my Applejack into this you…you…..FLIGHTLESS BIRD!” Applebloom screamed to the top of her lounges.

The two girls gasped. Scootaloo infuriated in rage and went after Applebloom , immediately after came a ferocious mosh pit; Scootaloo attempting to beat up Applebloom, Applebloom bucking her up with all her might, and Sweetie Belle trying to stop the two girls all together.

Iron Will started walking slowly away from the three filly’s roughhousing towards Sugarcube Corner gaining up to moderate walking speed while at the same time avoiding being seen again. He moved from building to building, tree to tree, plant to plant, basically the scenario again back in the shopping center, except this time trying to avoid everypony.

He then appeared right next Sugarcube Corner. He climbed up the building and tried to remain unseen and unheard. He dangled on the wood of the building to notice a window. The window was open slightly to let a breeze in for a nice brisk temperature for the babies to nap in. Through the window were the two baby ponies, Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake sleeping in their cribs. There was nopony around in the room at all. Iron Will climbed down and peaked around the building to see Mr. and Mrs. Cake managing the front desk assisting a few ponies. Iron Will sneaked back up towards where he first saw the cake twins. He opened the window inch by inch to avoid any noise. He whispered to himself as he started sweating and blushing insisting that Pumpkin Cake was a goddess sent down from heaven with her body as ready as a teenage mare trying to get a bit or two from colts.

He reached his arm in then removed the blanket from the cake twins slowly. Pound Cake moved slightly which almost startling Iron Will, but Pound Cake stopped and snuggled back into place. Pumpkin Cake remained motionless as Iron Will’s hand slowly moved closer and closer to Pumpkin Cake. He then scooped her up from the crib and then slowly maneuvered his way back out the window. He then climbed down with ease trying to restrain the little baby from waking up. He got down to the ground and slowly walked away from Sugarcube Corner. He then gained up speed and started to giggle like a filly frolicking around in joy at recess during school.

Iron Will ran off into the Everfree Forest to hide his presence in Ponyville, dropping one essential item before entering, Pumpkin Cake’s Binky. The minotaur did not notice a thing because he was blushing and sweating more and more at the sight of Pumpkin Cake’s appearance. An erection grew from the lower half of his body as while still running. His instincts told him he had run far enough deep into the Everfree Forest. He stopped in place and hid in the bushes behind a tree. He settled down the baby towards the green grass just uncomfortable enough to wake her up. Pumpkin Cake stretched her hooves up in the air and preciously yawned. She looked up at Iron Will out of confusion while Iron Will was grinning uncontrollably. This creeped out Pumpkin Cake and she began to tear up, then came out the noise of the devil out of her innocent little mouth.

She started to cry.

Iron Will calmly brushed her mane and whispered into her ear “When somepony is crying and stinky, show them that you have their binky.”
