Dazzle waddled over to a nice table by the window. She pulled out a walkie tal-... Wait, where was she keeping tha-?

"Khkkh!!" she spat into the receiver, "Blurburry to Smashed Fruit! Come in, Smashed Fruit! Over!"

Carry looked up from his bowl of batter towards the tightly closed (and very soundproof) kitchen door, his glorious locks waving with the motion. He handsomely wondered why in the freaking heck the mare was screaming at the top of her lungs.

Deciding it was best just to get her her donuts, he continued his art.

Just outside the open window right next to Dazzle, an also very handsome colt popped out of the bushes with his own walkie talkie.

"Kchk! This is Smashed Fruit! Over!"

Okay, so lemme pause for a moment to explain the sich here. Hughbert (that's this dude's name) has been after this chick for a while. He'd been her best friend for a few years now, helping her with homework, playin' tabletop RPGs with her, and even telling her that she wasn't ugly and fat when she really was. He was truly her best friend.

And, yep, those italics were intentional. His penchant for delicious jams and jellies was always somewhat off putting to her, and so into the friendzone he went.

Poor guy. No pony deserves such a fate.

Thankfully, however, he still has no idea that he's friendzoned. It's gonna be a while before he finds out and spirals into a manic depressive state wherein he drowns his sorrows in gradually larger and larger containers of jelly, completely abandoning jam because it reminds him too much of her.

So for now, he's totally chill to help her on her secret mission to get hitched.

"The nuts are being burned! I repeat, the nuts are being burned! Over!" Dazzle yelled.

For some reason, that code made Hughbert really uncomfortable. "Uh... copy that!"

Dazzle waited patiently, but not really. Passive-aggressively leaning over, she whispered, "Ya hafta say 'over'!"

"Oh... Uh... Khkhc! Over!"

Suddenly, the kitchen door squeaks open and Carry pops his head out. He says,

Yeah!
