Together

An hour had passed and everything was calm now in the shop. There was no one in the shop. Pinkie Pie was giving Pumpkin Cake a piggyback ride, while Pound Cake threw a red ball at a pile of blocks. The ball rolled back over to him. He then placed the red ball right next to his bottle and then walked over to the blocks and began stacking them back up. Mrs. Cake was standing at the front counter and washing the counter with a rag. She looked at a clock and then continued to clean the counter. She did this movement several times.

“Pinkie Pie, do you know what time it is?” asked Mrs. Cake.

Pinkie Pie stopped running around and looked at her watch.

“It’s twelve thirty.” said Pinkie Pie.

“Well I guess the clock isn’t off.” she said.

“Why did you need to know if there’s a clock on the wall?” asked Pinkie, as she pointed at the clock.

“Well, Pumpkin Cakes new bed is coming today and the movers were supposed to be here at twelve and their not here yet.”

“Don’t worry Mrs. Cake. I’m sure they’ll get here in no time.”

“Maybe they got lost or they don’t know where are home is.”

“How could they miss a home that looks like a giant cake?”

“Well I’m going outside to see if they’re getting close or not.” said Mrs. Cake, as she made her way out the door.

“I’ll come with you.” said Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie sat her but down as Pumpkin slid down her back on to the ground. She then made her way outside with Mrs. Cake.

As soon as Pinkie Pie went out side, Pumpkin Cake started to look around the room, looking for something new to play with. She smiled as she saw something that caught her eye. Pumpkin walked over to the item.

Pound Cake had finished stacking up his blocks, smiling at his work. Pound walked back over to the spot he was sitting at. He

sat down and was about to pick up his ball, when he realized it was not there. He panicked and looked around the room trying to find his ball. When he saw that, Pumpkin had taken it. She was chew on in and getting drooling all over it.

He was about ready to go over there and take it from her, when he heard an odd noise. Pound saw the ball was getting smaller and smaller, until it was flat.

Pumpkin Cake spat the ball out of her mouth and walked off, looking for something else to play with.

Pound Cake ran over to his ball and picked it up. He looked at the ball and found a hole on the side where Pumpkin was chewing on. He dropped the flattened ball on the ground and was about to cry. When he looked up he saw Pumpkin’s Butterfly toy sitting in a corner. Pound looked back and saw that Pumpkin was playing with some other toy.

Pound Cake made a sinister looking face.

Quickly and quietly, Pound Cake went back to the spot he was sitting at. Using his mouth he picked up his bottle and then ran over to the Butterfly toy. Using his super strength, Pound pulled the teat off of the bottle and was about to poor the milk on the toy.

Pound Cake, looked back one more time to see if Pumpkin Cake saw what he was doing. She was still playing with the toy, unaware of what he was about to do. Pound Cake then turned his attention back to the stuffed animal and poured the milk all over the toy.

Pumpkin Cake was playing with a small pink prince’s carriage, when all of a sudden she heard a very odd noise. She put the toy down and turned her head around to see what the noise was. Pumpkin was then shocked to see that Pound was pouring milk on favorite toy.

The little unicorn then charged right at her brother and knocked him out of the way of the toy.

She picked up her butterfly friend and looked at it. The toy was covered in milk. Pumpkin Cake hogged the butterfly and began to whimper as a small tear drop from her eyes.

Pound Cake rubbed his head and got up after Pumpkins tackle. He then looked at his sister and saw that she was crying.

Pound Cake started laughing at her.

Pumpkin Cake looked at him and saw that he was laughing at her. This made Pumpkin very angry.

She put the toy down and charged at him. Pumpkin was able tackle Pound to the ground and pin him down, but Pound was able to push Pumpkin off of him and was able to get back up.

The two met eye to eye and they both charged for each other. They then collided with each other and began pushing each other.

Mrs. Cake and Pinkie Pie walked back into the store and they both gasp when they saw the twins fighting.

“You two stop fighting right now!” shouted Mrs. Cake.

The twins just ignored her and continued to fight each other.

Mrs. Cake went over and picked up Pumpkin Cake, while Pinkie Pie went over and picked up Pound Cake. They were both squirming in their arms and screaming.

“What’s with all the noise?” said Mr. Cake, as he entered the room.

Mr. Cake looked around and saw his wife and Pinkie Pie holding the twins as they were still fussing around.

“Pound and Pumpkin had another fight?” asked Mr. Cake.

“Yes.” said Mrs. Cake.

“Pinkie I’ll take Pound Cake.”

Pinkie Pie then handed over Pound over to Mr. Cake.

Both Carrot Cake and Cup Cake began rocking the twins back and forth until they final calmed down.

“Now Pumpkin Cake why were you fighting with Pound Cake?” asked Mrs. Cake

Pumpkin Cake then pointed over to her butterfly toy.

Pinkie Pie went over to the toy and looked at in.

“Looks like Pound poured milk on the toy.”

“Pound Cake, why did you do that to Pumpkin Cakes toy?” asked Mr. Cake.

Pound Cake then pointed at his ball.

Pinkie then picked up the ball and looked at it.

“There’s a hole in this ball and it’s covered in drool. Look like Pumpkin was chewing on it and she made a hole in it.”

Mr. and Mrs. Cake then looked at their babies sad faces.

“That was Pound Cakes favorite ball.” said Mr. Cake.

“And Pumpkin Cake won’t go to bed without her Butterfly toy.” said Mrs. Cake.

“Two fights in one day. What could happen now?” said Mr. Cake.

Suddenly there was nock on the door.

“Now who could that be?” said, Mr. Cake

He went over to the door and opened in. When Mr. Cake opened the door and at the door was a massive Pegasus.

He was a dark brown Pegasus with a white colored mane. He wore a black baseball cap and had a black beard. His cutie mark was a box.

“Can I help you with something?” asked Mr. Cake, in a nerves voice.

“You Mr. Carrot Cake?” asked the Pegasus, in a Brooklyn accent.

“Yes.” said Mr. Cake, as he gulped.

“Good, I’m with the Pegasus delivery services. We have a bed for you.”

The Pegasus then moved out of the way to show a moving carriage. Two Pegasus flew out of the carriage holding while holding a big white box, one at each end. Then two more Pegasus flew out of the carriage, holding a mattress.

“Oh that great.” said Mr. Cake with smile.

“Where do you want it?” asked the Pegasus.

“Take it up stairs, first door on the right.”

“You heard him, let’s go.” shouted the Pegasus.

The team of four Pegasus began to move. First the two with the big white box entered the store and went up stairs and entered the room. Next the team with the mattress entered the store.

“Sorry we’re so late, Mr. Cake.” said, the Pegasus. “Somepony wrote down that we were looking for a muffin shaped house.”

He then glared at a one of Pegasus who was caring the end of the mattress. The Pegasus just smiled as she and the other pony made their way up the stairs.

“Anyway, well get the bed assembled for you,” said the Pegasus. “It should take an hour or so to do.”

“I’ll come with you then.” said Mr. Cake.

“Alright then.” said the Pegasus, as made his way up the stairs.

Mr. Cake put Pound Cake on the ground.

“Now Pound Cake, please be good for me.”

Pound Cake looked up at his dad and smiled at him.

Mr. Cake then rubbed his head and then went up stairs.

“Well at least the bed got here.” said Mrs. Cake.

Cup Cake then put Pumpkin Cake on the ground and picked up the butterfly toy, still dripping with milk.

“A new bed won’t mean anything if I can’t this clean.”

Pinkie Pie looked over at Mrs. Cake and Pumpkin Cake saw their sad faces. She then looked at Pound Cake, who was trying to push his flat ball, but he gave up and frowned at his flat ball.

‘I have to do something’ Thought Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie Pie then put on her saddle bag and then walked over to Mrs. Cake.

“Hey Mrs. Cake, how about I try and get this milk out of the toy.” said Pinkie Pie, as she took the toy from her and put it into her bag.

“But what can you do Pinkie Pie?” asked Mrs. Cake.

“Just don’t worry about it Mrs. Cake. I well figure it out.”

Pinkie then walked out of the store.

__________________________________________________________________________

Another hour had passed and things had become a lot quitter in the Sugar Cube Corner.

Mrs. Cake was busy putting fresh cup cake into the display case. Pound Cake was sitting in his bouncy chair, but he was not jumping around like he used to. He looked sad. Pumpkin Cake was lying down on a blue and pink checkered blanket pushing her princess carriage back and forth. She was not having any fun with it.

Soon Mr. Cake and the movers came down stairs. Mrs. Cake then walked over to them.

“Well is the bed put together?” asked Cup Cake.

“It’s up and ready for Pumpkin to use.” said Carrot Cake, with a happy toned voice.

Mrs. Cake then hugged Mr. Cake.

“That’s great to hear.” said Mrs. Cake.

“Thanks again for everything.” said Carrot, as he shook the Pegasus hoof.

“It’s our pleasure Mr. Cake.”

Mrs. Cake then ran back into the kitchen and came out with a tray. On tray were five boxes.

“Please take these cup cakes as a sign of thanks.” said Mrs. Cake.

“Why thank you very much Mrs. Cake.” said the Pegasus, as he grabbed a box with his mouth and walked out the door.

The three Pegasus walked out the door and each took a box. The grey Pegasus took the box, but did not look happy about it.

“Don’t worry dear, I put muffins in yours.”

This made the grey Pegasus smile as she took the box and walked out the door.

The Cakes waved good bye to the pegasus team, as the team flew into the air. Once they left, Mrs. Cake walked over to the blanket that Pumpkin way laying. She lied down next to her.

“Did you hear that Pumpkin? Your new bed is here and you get to sleep in your own bed tonight.”

Pumpkin Cake looked over at her mom, but did not smile. The little unicorn turned back to her toy and continued to push it back and forth.

"Pumpkin still sad about her toy?" asked Mr. Cake, as he was getting Pound out of his bounce chair.

"Looks like it. Said Mrs. Cake.

“Well, she has other stuffed animals she can sleep with tonight. By the way, where’s Pinkie Pie?” asked Mr. Cake.

“She said she was going out to find away to get the milk out of the toy.”

“I wonder what she plans to do?” asked Mr. Cake

Just as Mr. and Mrs. Cake were about to pick up their children, Pinkie Pie entered the store while bouncing a red ball on her head.

“Hello everypony, I’m back.” said Pinkie Pie.

“Pinkie Pie, where have you been?” asked Mrs. Cake.

“Well first I went to the toy store and bought this red ball for Pound Cake.”

Pinkie Pie then laid her head down and the ball rolled over to Pound Cake.

This put a smile on Pound Cakes face as he began to bouncing it around.

Pinkie then walked over to Mrs. Cake and Pumpkin Cake. She then reached into her saddle bag and was looking for something.

“Then I went over to Twilights house to see if she could use her magic to get the milk out of the toy and guesses what, she did it.” said Pinkie Pie, as she pulled out the Butterfly toy from her bag.

Pumpkin Cake then smiled as she saw her favorite toy dry and waved her hoof around hoofs around. Pinkie Pie then gave the toy to Pumpkin, who started hug the butterfly.

“Pinkie Pie, this is so nice of you to do this.” said Mrs. Cake “You didn’t have to do all of this.”

“It’s not a problem Mrs. Cakes.” said Pinkie Pie. “I’ll do anything to get Pound and Pumpkin to smile.”

Pinkie then took off her saddle bag, which seemed to have a lot more stuff in it.

“Pinkie what else is in your bag?” asked Mr. Cake

“Well the toy store was having a sale on balls, so I bought a ton of balls. I plain to hid them all over Ponyville, just in case we have another busted ball.” said Pinkie Pie, as she just smiled.

“Ok then.” said Mr. Cake.

“So, what are doing now?”

“Well we were about to go up stairs and see Pumpkins new bed.” said Carrot Cake.

“Can I come look to?”

“Of course you can dear.” said Mrs. Cake.

Pinkie Pie smiled.

Mr. Cake bit down on Pounds mane and walked upstairs, while Mrs. Cake bit down on Pumpkins mane and walked up stairs, Pumpkin still hugging the butterfly. Pinkie Pie followed them as she skipped up the stairs.

They entered the twin’s room and on the fare right side of the room was the new crib.

The cribs head board design was a cookie and a wrapped up piece of candy. The mattress was pink with small white strips. The blankets design had a crescent moon and sail boats, and the design of the pillows was a warped up pieces of candy, cookies, and a crescent moon.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake put the twins on the ground.

“It looks great.” said Pinkie Pie

“I’ll be the judge of that.” said Mrs. Cake.

Cup Cake then walked over to the new bed.  She started looking at the bed, feeling how soft the mattress and the pillows were, and running her hoofs threw the bars of the crib. She then turned and looked at the others.

“Its perfect.” said Mrs. Cake.

“That great to here.” said Pinkie Pie as she began to jump around the room.

Mrs. Cake then looked at Pumpkin Cake.

“Now Pumpkin, this well be your bed, where you and your stuffed animal friends well sleep.” said Mrs. Cake.

This put a smile on Pumpkins face. She walked towards her new bed and sat down. She lifted up her butterfly showing it the new bed.

“And Pound, you won’t have to share your bed with Pumpkin anymore.” said Mr. Cake.

Hearing this put a smile on Pound Cakes face.

Both of the twins were now laughing happily.

Pinkie Pie stopped jumping and stretched her hoofs out, bring the twins closer together.

“Now that the two of you have your own beds, the three of us can play together.” said Pinkie, with a smile on her face.

The twins stopped laughing and looked at each other. They turned their heads away from each other and walked back to their beds.

Pinkie Pie looked confused.

“Now Pinkie Pie, it’ going to take more than a new bed for the foals to start getting along.” said Mr. Cake. “Like baking a cake, we have to give it time.”

“Okie-doki-loki.” said Pinkie Pie, as she looked at the twins.

__________________________________________________________________________________

It was now night time and Carrot Cake and Cup Cake were getting ready to Pound and Pumpkin to sleep.

Mr. Cake was putting a new diaper on Pound, while Mrs. Cake was placing all of Pumpkin Cakes stuffed animals on the edge of the crib, and Pumpkin was played with her butterfly.

“Alright Pound Cake your good to go.” said Mr. Cake.

Pound Cake smiled and made happy noises.

Carrot then picked up him up and put him in his crib.

“Ok Pumpkin it’s your turn.” said Mr. Cake.

Pumpkin put her toy down and stretched her arm out as she was picked up.

Carrot then placed her on the changing table. He took off her old diaper, threw it into the garbage can and put a new diaper on her.

“There we go Pumpkin.” said Mr. Cake.

Mrs. Cake then walked over to them.

“Are you ready to sleep in you new bed?” asked Cup Cake.

Pumpkin also made cute noise and moved her legs around.

Mrs. Cake picked her up and placed Pumpkin in her new bed.

Carrot Cake and Cup Cake then walked over to Pound Cakes bed. Mrs. Cake then picked him up and gave him a hug, while Mr. Cake drew back the blankets. Cup Cake then laid him back on the bed then Carrot Cake covered him up.

“Good night Pound Cake.” said Mrs. Cake, as she kissed him on the head.

“Sleep tight.” said Mr. Cake, as he kissed him on the head to.

Pound Cake yawned and he shut his eyes.

The Cakes then walked over to Pumpkins bed. Mrs. Cake then picked up Pumpkin and gave her a hug, while Mr. Cake drew back the blanket. Mrs. Cake then placed her back in the bed and Mr. Cake covered her up.

“Good night Pumpkin Cake.” said Mrs. Cake, as she kissed her on the head.

“Sleep well.” said Mr. Cake.

Pumpkin then started pointing to the ground.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake turned around and saw that the butterfly toy was still on the floor.

“I’ve got it.” said Mr. Cake.

He then picked up the toy and walked back to the crib.

“Here you go Pumpkin.” said Mr. Cake, as he gave her the toy.

Pumpkin Cake then hugged the toy, rubbing her head against it. She then closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Mr. and Mrs. walked towards the door. Carrot moved his hoof towards the light switch.

“Don’t turn the light of yet.” said Mrs. Cake. “Pinkie Pie wants to say good night to them.”

“Ok.” said Mr. Cake. “Where is Pinkie Pie?”

“I think she is still hiding balls around Ponyville.”

Mr. Cake looked at his wife in confusion and then looked back into the room.

“I hope they start to get along well.” said Mrs. Cake.

“I’m sure they will.” said Mr. Cake

He then kissed his wife.

“Good night Pound Cake. Good night Pumpkin Cake.” said Mr. Cake.

“Sweet dreams my little ginger snaps.”

They then shout the door quietly.
