Together

The next morning, Mr. Cake stood at the counter, with his eyes closed and he was snoring. Carrot Cake was not able to get Pound Cake to bed until three thirty in the morning and being a baker, Mr. Cake had to get up early in the morning to bake treats for customers.

“HEY, where’s my cookie?” shouted a black Pegasus.

“What what.” Mr. Cake said, shaking his head around.

“I ordered a simple cookie and you’ve just been standing there.”

“Oh I am so sorry,” said Mr. Cake, his eyes still barley opened. “I well get that for you right now ma’am.”

“I’M A COLT!” shouted the pony.

Mr. Cake picked up the tongs and went over to the display case that was full of sweets. When he opened the case and looked inside, everything seemed blurry to him. He grabbed one of the snacks, placed it on a plate and took it to the customer.

“Here you go.” said Mr. Cake.

“IS THIS KIND OF JOKE?!” the Pegasus shouted.

“Is something wrong with you cookie?”

“Well for one thing, this is not a cookie.” said the pony, as he pointed to the snack. “This is a muffin!”

“I’m so sorry ma’am.”

The Pegasus then grabbed Mr. Cake by his apron and dragged Mr. Cake over to him, so they were looking at each other eye to eye.

“ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL?” shouted the Pegasus.

Pinkie Pie then entered the room and saw what was going on.

“Oh no, not again.” said Pinkie Pie.

She then ran over to the counter and got in between the Pegasus and Mr. Cakes. So now the Pegasus was looking Pinkie Pie in the eye.

“I am so sorry about this sir.” said Pinkie Pie. “Let me get you that cookie.”

Pinkie then ran over to the display case and with the tongs, took three cookies out and placed the cookies in a small paper bag and brought it to the customer.

“Here you go sir and I put two free cookies in there for all the trouble.” said Pinkie Pie, smiling at the customer nervously.

“Well, I guess that’s fine.” he said.

The Pegasus paid for the cookie and left the store.

“That was a close one.” said Pinkie Pie. “Mr. Cake what happened?”

Pinkie looked at Mr. Cake and he had fallen back to sleep.

“Mr. Cake, WAKE UP!” said Pinkie, as she shouted into Mr. Cake’s ear.

Carrot was startled by the shouting in his ear.

“What happened?” said Mr. Cake, as he rubbed his head.

“You did it again.” said Pinkie Pie

“I gave the wrong order to a customer again, didn’t I?”

“That and I think you called might have called him a girl.”

Mr. Cake then rubbed his hoofs into his head.

“Mr. Cake, I can watch the store while you take a nap.”

“Thanks Pinkie, but Cup Cake is watching the twins right now and I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to be watching the oven today. So I don’t want you to be alone if we get busy”

“Well is there anything I can do for you?”

“Can you get me a coffee?”

“No problem, Mr. Cake. I well get you a Pinkie Pie special.”

Pinkie ran back into the kitchen.

Just then Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash entered the store.

“Good morning, Carrot Cake.” said Twilight.

“Good morning, Mr. C.” said Rainbow Dash.

Mr. Cake looked at them. Everything still looked blurry to him.

“Good morning, Rarity and Fluttershy.”

“Rarity?” said Twilight.

“Fluttershy?” said Rainbow Dash.

The two stopped and looked at each other in confusion and then looked at Mr. Cake.

“No Mr. Cake, it’s me, Twilight.”

“And how could you mistake this,” Rainbow Dash did a pose. ” for Fluttershy.” said Rainbow Dash.

Mr. Cake rubbed his eyes and everything became a little clearer to him.

“Oh, sorry girls,” said Mr. Cake. “I’m just so tired, I can’t tell anything apparent right now.”

“Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake keep you up?” asked Twilight.

Mr. Cake shook his head in agreement.

Pinkie Pie reentered the room with a cup of coffee.

“Good morning Twilight, good morning Rainbow Dash.” said Pinkie Pie, to her two friends.

“Good morning, Pinkie Pie.” said Twilight and Rainbow Dash.

Pinkie Pie walked over to Mr. Cake.

“Here you go Mr. Cake, one Pinkie Pie special coffee.” said Pinkie Pie, as she gave Mr. Cake the coffee.

“Thank you Pinkie.” said Mr. Cake.

Mr. Cake took a little sip of the coffee and then he spat it out of his mouth.

“Pinkie, what did you put in that?” asked Twilight.

“Only about eight or nine tea spoons of sugar.” said Pinkie Pie.

They all looked at her in shock.

“What, that’s how much sugar I put in my coffee.” she said, with a smile on her face.

“Pinkie, that way too much sugar to put in coffee.” said Twilight. “Mr. Cake do you want me to make you a cup?”

“No, Twilight, by this point I am whiling to try anything to stay awake.” said Mr. Cake as he took another sip, trying to gag it down.

“Well if theirs is anything we can do to help, just ask us.”

“Thanks Twilight, but the only thing I want to figure out is why Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake don’t get along with each other.”

“When did the fighting start?” ask Twilight.

Mr. Cake took another drink of the coffee, still trying his best to get use to the taste. “I think it started a week after we brought them home from the hospital. At first they seemed to get along alright, but when we put them to bed, Pound would throw all the stuffed animals out of the bed and then Pumpkin would get mad at him. Then the two would start the fighting each other.”

“Well you see, Carrot, baby pegasus and baby unicorns, sleep very differently.”

“How so?” asked Mr. Cake.

“Well pegasus, like to have lots of space so they can move around when their sleeping and they hate being cramped up.” said Rainbow Dash. “So having not only, Pumpkin, in the bed, but also a bunch on stuffed animals makes Pegasus uncomfortable.”

“The opposite can be said about unicorns.” said Twilight. “When unicorns are sleeping, their magic will sometimes affect their dreams making them feel scared, but if they have something that they find worm and cuddly close by it can make them feel clam.”

“Well I guess that explains the sleeping thing.” said Mr. Cake

“So all you have to do is get two bed for them and they should sleep alright.” said Rainbow Dash.

“Hopefully, but Cup Cake is still nervous about something.” said Carrot Cake.

“What is she nervous about?” Twilight asked.

“Cup Cake thinks even if the twins do get their own beds, they well still not like each other and she says it’s a sign that were bad parents.”

“Don’t worry Carrot. You and Cup Cake are great parents and in time Pound and Pumpkin well get along one day. You just need to give it time.” said Twilight.

“Plus you and Cup Cake have all of us to help you if you have any kind problem.” said Pinkie Pie.

Mr. Cake smiled at them.

“Thanks girls, I’m glad we have good friends like you.”

“By the way, where is Mrs. Cake and the twins?” asked Rainbow.

“Mrs. Cakes is feeding them right now.” said Pinkie Pie.

“Is she fine feed to twins on her own?” asked Twilight.

“Don’t worry, Cup Cake does well when it comes to feeding the twins.” said Carrot Cake

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

In the other kitchen of the Sugarcube Corner, Mrs. Cake was holding a spoon and was feeding the twins. Pound and Pumpkin were sitting in their high chares and in front of each them was a bowl filled with green baby food.

“Come on Pound Cake, eat your food.” said Cup Cake.

She moved the spoon closer to his mouth, but Pound just turned his head avoiding the spoon of green baby food.  Pound Cake made pouting face.

“Oh, why won’t you eat your food?” asked Mrs. Cake.

Pumpkin Cake was making odd noises.

“Sorry Pumpkin, I well feed you in just a minute.”

Cup Cake turned her head towards Pumpkin and was shocked. Pumpkin mouth and hoofs were covered in the green baby food.

“Pumpkin, what did you do to yourself?”

Pumpkin ducked her hoof into the baby food and then put her hoof into her mouth and began sucking her hoof.

“Well I guess that’s one way to eat food.” said Mrs. Cake making a small laugh.

Pumpkin Cake smiled at her, still keeping her hoof in her moth.

Mrs. Cake then turned back to Pound Cake.

“Look Pound Cake, Pumpkin Cake likes the food. So why don’t you have some to.”

Mrs. Cake moved the spoon towards his mouth, but Pound Cake just moved his head.

“Now Pound Cake, eat your food!”

Pound Cake just grunted at her.

Mrs. Cake moved the spoon faster towards his mouth, but he just dogged it. She tried again and again, but Pound Cake just kept moving his head. Pumpkin was just watching them, still sucking on her hoof.

Pound Cake was getting anger. He got so made that he started wailing his hoofs around. He then hit the spoon and the food splattered all over Mrs. Cakes face.

“Oh my.” said Mrs. Cakes.

Both of the twins looked at her and they both started laughing.

“Well at least you’re both happy right now.”

Mrs. Cake put the spoon back into the blow and went over to the sick. She washed the food off her face off. She was about ready to go back to the twins, when she saw the camera. She looked back at the twins, who were still smiling and laughing at what had happened.

“This would make a great photo.” said Mrs. Cake.

She was about to grab the camera, when all of a sudden the phone rang.

“Of course.” said Mrs. Cake, in a disappointed tone.

Mrs. Cake went over to the phone and answered it.

“Hello, Sugarcube Corner, what can we do for you today?”

A mumble voice came out of the phone.

“Yes, we do big caterings orders for big parties.” said Mrs. Cake, get a note pad and pencil out. “What do you need?”

More mumbles voices cake from the phone. Mrs. Cake wrote down.

“So you want one hundred cookies, two hundred cup cakes, a medium size three layered cake and a large three layered cake.”

More mumbles came out of the phone.

“Alright then, now what color would you like the cake frosted?”

While Mrs. Cake was taking the order down, Pumpkin continued to eat her food with her hoof. While Pound pounded on his tray. He kept on pounding it until he hit the spoon that was in the blow. The spoon went high up into the air and landed on Pumpkins head.

Pumpkin was shocked to see food coming down on her.

Pound laughed at her.

Pumpkin made an anger face at him. She put her hoof in her blow and threw the food at Pound Cake, hitting him in the face.

Pound Cake whipped the food off his face and then looked at her with an angry face. He put his hoof into his bowl and threw food at Pumpkin, hitting her in the face.

She wiped it off her face.

Both twins looked at each other, with anger in their eyes. They both put their hoofs in the blow and started throwing food at it each other and the food went in all directions, hitting windows, the walls, the fridge, and every other part of the kitchen.

“So when do you need this delivered?” said, Mrs. Cake was unaware of what was going on, until some food hit her in the back of the head. “What was that?”

She turned her head around and saw that Pound and Pumpkin were throwing food at each other.

“STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!” shouted Mrs. Cake.

Mumbles came out of the phone and they were not happy.

“Oh no sir, I was not telling you to stop.” said Mrs. Cake, as more food started to hit her. “Yes, we can have all that delivered by next week.” she said very fast.

Mumbles came out of the phone.

“Alright then, have a nice day and we will see you in a week. Good bye.” said Mrs. Cake as she slammed the phone back on the receiver.

Mrs. Cakes was making her way back to the twins, trying her best to dodge the incoming food.

“YOU TWO STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!” she shouted.

The twins did not lesson to her and continued to throw food at each other.

“What’s going on in here?” said Mr. Cake.

As Carrot entered the kitchen, he was then hit in the face by the green baby food.

“Mrs. Cake is everything alright?” asked Twilight.

Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie entered the kitchen. Twilight and Rainbow Dash were in shock at the site of the kitchen. Pinkie Pie just smiled.

“How cute, the babies are having a food throwing party.”

“Pinkie, I don’t think they are…” Twilight was then cut off, when some food hit her.

Rainbow Dash was laughing at her, until she was also hit by the food.

Pinkie Pie jumped in the air and caught some of the food in her mouth.

“EWWWWW, mushy peas.” said Pinkie Pie.”

Pinkie Pie ran over to a drawer and pulled out a frosting gun. She then spared the frosting on her tongue.

“MMM, frosting.” said Pinkie Pie, as she was hit by more baby food.

Twilight shook the baby food of her face. “Alright, I think breakfast time is over.”

Twilight’s horn started to glow and she pointed her horn at the twin’s bowls. The bowls started to glow and were lifted into the air. Pound and Pumpkin threw one last bit of food which hit Twilight in the face. Twilight’s horn and the bowls stop glowing. The bowls fell and landed on Pound and Pumpkins heads. They both started crying.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake looked around at their kitchen. The kitchen from the ceiling to the walls was covered in the green baby food. Twilight and everyone else were also covered in it.

“Well, there goes my cute picture.” said Mrs. Cakes.

“Looks like the foals need another bath.” said Mr. Cake

“You take Pound Cake and I’ll take Pumpkin Cake.”

“Ok.”

Mrs. Cake went over to the crying Pumpkin Cake. She bit her by her mane and carried her into bathroom.

“Pinkie Pie, is it alright that I use your bath tub to clean up Pound?” asked Mr. Cake

“Sure thing, Mr. Cake.” said Pinkie Pie

“Thanks Pinkie.”

Mr. Cake made his way towards Pound Cake. He was about ready to pick him up, when he looked around his kitchen. He looked at Twilight and Rainbow Dash, who were cleaning their faces off.

“Twilight, Rainbow, I hate to ask you this, but could you help us clean up in here?”

Rainbow Dashed panicked when she heard the question.

“Well I don’t know. I have so much to…”

“We would love to help.” said Twilight, cutting off Rainbow Dash.

“But“

“Rainbow Dash!” said Twilight, looking at her with a grin.

“Fine.” she said.

“Thank you.” said Mr. Cake.

Carrot bit on Pounds mane and took him out of the kitchen.

“Do you girls need any help with this?” asked Pinkie Pie.

“Don’t worry about it Pinkie Pie,” said Twilight, getting a mop and bucket out of the closet. “We can handle this on our own.

Besides you need to watch the store.”

“Alright, call me if you need any help.” said Pinkie Pie, as she left the room.

“Well, let’s get this over with.” said Rainbow Dash, flying with a rag in her hoof.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

It took Twilight and Rainbow Dash over an hour to clean the kitchen.

“I thought that would take forever.” said Rainbow Dash, falling to the ground.

“Come on Rainbow, it wasn’t that bad.” said Twilight.

When, Twilight and Rainbow Dash entered the lobby of the shop, Mrs. Cake and Pinkie Pie were standing at the counter. Pound Cake was sitting in a bouncy chair that was hanging from a door. He was bouncing around and laughing.  Pumpkin Cake was in the playpen, playing with her stuffed animals.

“Were done cleaning the kitchen, Mrs. Cake.” said Twilight.

“Thank you very much dears,” said Mrs. Cake. “I feel really bad that Carrot asked you to do that.”

“It’s not a problem,” said Twilight. “We were glade to help you.”

“Where’s Carrot Cake?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“After he gave, Pound Cake, a bath he just fell asleep on the couch.” said Pinkie Pie.

“Is there anything else we can do to help?” asked Twilight

“Oh come on Twilight!” shouted Rainbow Dash.

“Oh no,” said Mrs. Cakes. “You two have helped out enough today. So to say thanks here are some free cupcakes.”

Mrs. Cakes pushed two small blue boxes in front of them.

“Sweet!” said Rainbow Dash, as she grabbed her box and flew out the store.

“Thank you Cup Cake,” said Twilight, using her magic to lift the box. “And if there’s anything you need, just come and ask.”

“Thank you, Twilight.” said Cup Cake, as she hugged Twilight.

Twilight waved good bye to everyone and left the store.
