Glowing Cupcakes

It was night time and Pinkie Pie was still busy preparing for the party tomorrow. It wasn’t going to be a very big party, but rather a party where the friends could hang out and eat pastry, and not a celebration of a event. The party was going to include most of her best friends. She was trying to multi-task everything on her own, food, chairs, tables, everything. She didn’t want to miss any detail.

After meddling about with the furniture of the party-room, Pinkie Pie went to check on the pastry, and decided to make a special requested treat for everyone.

“Glowing cupcakes! Oh, what a funny little idea of Spike. I hope everyone will like it like he did.” She said to herself, remembering on how Spike was excited over a can of flavored green glowing dust. She then looked at the green can of dust on the table next to the oven, and started to make the cupcakes with the glowing green dust inside them, giving them a green glowing effect, and Pinkie Pie even turned on and off the lights just to see them glow in the dark before baking them and leaving them in the automatic oven, and leaving to prepare other parts of the party.

She came back to make sure the cupcakes had been baked well, and put on big mutton-hooves to take out the tray of green glowing cupcakes.

“Not too much, not too little,” she squeaked happily to herself, placing the tray into a bread-bin to be eaten the next day. She smiled at herself, made sure everything was in order for the last time and switched off the lights to go to her warm bed, thinking on how the pones would think on her new cool glowing cupcakes. She slept with a smile...

The next day, everyone who was invited was ready to go to the party. All of Pinkie’s invited friends had received the letter the day before, and all had been ready at 3 a’clock, all but one of the ponies who hadn’t checked their mail the day before, which was Twilight Sparkle. She was still asleep when the clock struck three in the afternoon. Spike woke up himself and remembered about the party, and bounced on Twilight’s bed excitedly. Twilight woke up quickly, still half asleep as she jumped out of bed, confused.

Spike explained to her that Pinkie had made a little party where they could meet together as friends at SugarCube Corner, and Twilight nodded slowly as she slowly started to walk to SugarCube Corner, with Spike on her back.

She arrived at Sugar Cube Corner, and the little close-friends party had already started. Twilight went inside, looking around the empty shop. Suddenly, Pinkie Pie emerged from behind the counter.

“Hello, Twilight! Spike! You came for the party! Yay! A bit late, though. Oh well!” Said Pinkie enthusiastically, leading them into the large party room where the others where.

Pinkie Pie went into the kitchen, leaving Twilight on her own next to a table filled with food. Spike went about the table, mixing his mouth with different types of food from the table. Twilight, however, was still too tired to smile and went to drink while still half asleep.

There where other ponies at the party, including Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity. They where all having fun and talking to each other, not noticing of Twilights arrival. All of a sudden, the kitchen doors opened for another time, with Pinkie Pie walking out holding a tray of strange pastry in her mouth. The tray held multiple chocolate cupcakes, which each seemed to be emanating a green light from inside them. Pinkie first offered some to AppleJack, who looked at them strangely, shrugged, and took one, biting it and nodding with a smile. Pinkie smiled too and walked off to give the rest of her friends these glowing cupcakes, including Spike, who had suggested them to her in the first place. She placed the tray on the table next to Twilight, who was asleep while standing. Pinkie woke her up.

“Wake up, silly! Your missing all the fun fun fun!” Pinkie told Twilight as she nudged her with her nose, waking her up. “Did you get enough sleep?”

Before Twilight could answer, she interrupted again, “ooh, ooh, try one of my special glowing cupcake thingies! Their really really good!” Pinkie Pie said, while hopping with a large smile on her face. She showed Twilight the glowing cupcake, and she took it.

Twilight looked at the cupcake for some time and, still slightly tired, squinted at it with a rather ugly look.

“Pinkie,” Twilight asked, “why, or how, is this cupcake even glowing?”

Pinkie looked up in thought, and then replied, “I dunno! But it’s cool, isn’t it? Isn’t it? Isn’t it?”

Twilight sighed and took a few bites from the glowing cupcake, still having a tired look on her face.

“Oh, come on, Twilight! Smile and enjoy the par-tey! Be happy!” Pinkie said, smiling with her usual happy energetic look, as she hopped away. Suddenly, the cupcake pieces in Twilights mouth shined a bit before being swallowed, and Twilight’s eyes suddenly opened widely, and a grin grew on her face. Twilight was alarmed, and couldn’t stop smiling for some reason.

“Um…Pinkie….why am I smiling! Pinkie!” She said, pressing her hooves on her own mouth to stop the uncontrollable smiling, and dropped the cupcake. She started to panic about on the spot, and then just sat down smiling like a total dope, pressing her hooves on her cheeks to stop smiling like a idiot.

On the other side of the room, Pinkie was walking towards AppleJack and Rarity, who both where eating the last bits of their glowing cupcakes.

“You know,” Rarity said to AppleJack, “it occurred to me, AppleJack, that we do have our differences, like~”

“Like you annoyin’ me about how much you want me to be something I’m just not?” AppleJack interrupted as a joke. Rarity gave a angry look, and then pretended to smile.

“Well, that’s not exactly what I was going to say…” Rarity said, trying to continue, getting to the point “I just wanted you to know that I would really appreciate if you’d act like a real pony at any of these parties. I just can’t stand seeing you go about eating and drinking as if you learnt your manners from a mule!” Rarity ended, taking a sip from a glass in a rather posh manner as a example.

Applejack eyed her with a rather ugly frost nosed face, and turned to smile at Pinkie Pie, who had heard everything.

“You know what would be funny?” Pinkie Pie said, smiling, “If you both had to be in each others hooves for a day! Wouldn’t that be ironic? Tee hee! Well, that’s never going to happen.” Pinkie laughed after saying this, and as her eyes where closed she didn’t notice the short-termed slight green glow from Applejack’s and Rarity’s bellies flickering.

“No way am I going to be in YOUR shoes, Suga’Cube” Applejack reassured Rarity with a pat one her back as a joke, “the only shoes I wear, are boots…”

Suddenly, the sentence seemed to continue from Rarity.

“…for the messy time on the farm, got it, Rarit…”

They looked at each other in alarm, and then at themselves. Something was horribly wrong.

Pinkie Pie walked away happily from the two opposites and skipped over to Fluttershy, who was now standing in a corner on her own, eating one of the glowing cupcakes.

“Hey Fluttershy!” Pinkie greeted happily.

“…Hey Pinkie.” Fluttershy said in a soft, yet happy voice.

“So Fluttershy, how is the party? Do you like it, huh? Huh? Huh?” Said Pinkie, jumping around Fluttershy, eager to hear an answer.

“Well….um…” Fluttershy said, looking at Pinkie Pie skipping around her, “its really great, really. It’s just that I got a bit of a….problem…”

Pinkie Pie stopped in mid air, and landed onto the ground, moving in front of Fluttershy. “Aww, what’s the problem? I always want to cheer up people with problems!” Pinkie Pie assured, her ears pointing up to listen.

“Um, well, it’s just that,” Fluttershy stuttered, “well, I had this nightmare today. It was horrible…It was about a big red dragon terrorizing my little friends at the edge of the forest! It was really sad…and scary…and~”

“Raaaaawrrrgh!” Screamed Pinkie Pie in a scary voice. Poor Fluttershy was scared and covered herself under her hooves. Pinkie Pie laughed a bit.

Pinkie stopped laughing and looked sad. “Aww, grow up Fluttershy. Don’t worry. It’s only me, I’m sorry….”

Suddenly, Fluttershy’s belly started to glow green. Suddenly, she then started to increase in size. She grew taller and taller, and hit her head hit the roof and then crashed out of the roof of Suger Cube Corner, seeing Ponyville. Everyone in the party room started to panic, except for Fluttershy, who was too confused and scared to move.

“No, wait! No! Don’t go! It’s just…oh my…” Pinkie Pie said, looking around. She was horrified, and still trying to make sense of everything. She started to run for the door, escaping from the falling plaster and rock from the collapsing roof.
