A Sprinkle of Surprise

(Note: this chapter is in tact with a crossover between this and "A Harp and It's Candy" by AutoKnight01 which I found to be AWESOME!!)

   "Don't I know it." Pinkie said. "Thoo.." Twist said, obviously becoming bored-and fast. "Whenth thith Thprinkleth thupothed to get here?" she asked. "I don't know. She said right about now..." Pinkie said, looking at the clock. It was 1:30 PM, and customers were starting to come in.

Derpy was the first to walk in. She was smiling ever so happily. But that was like her. She was always happy. "Well hiya, Pinkie Pie!" she said cheerfully. "Heya, Derpy! What can I help you with?" Pinkie asked, though she already knew. She knew Derpy wanted a "Blueberry muffin with butter!" Derpy said.

    The word "muffin" made the crosseyed pegasis flutter and giggle as if it tickled to say it. "Okey-dokey-lokie!" Pinkie went to the back of the sweet-shop and soon came back with the crosseyed pony's order. Derpy handed Pinkie two bits and walked out the front door.

    Many more customers were beginning to pile in, as well. But no Sprinkles. Time had passed. Treats had been sold. It was starting to get dark. No Sprinkles. Pinkie was becoming worried. More customers still coming in. Some repeatedly coming.

  One pony, Lyra, walked up to the counter. "Can I have a mint-vanilla swirl with vanilla frosting cupcake and a chocolate with chocolate frosting cupcake?" she asked. "Yupperoo!" Pinkie exclaimed happily, and bent over the counter to retrieve the two pre-made cakes. "Thank you," the minty-colored unicorn said, and levitated the cakes with her golden magic.

   It was soon time for Sugarcube Corner to close. But Sprinkles still had not come. Pinkie was now becoming anxious. What had happened to her close friend? Shouldn't she had been there by then?

   Twist walked from the the back of the sweet-shop. "What'th

up, Pinkie Pie?" she asked. "I thought Sprinkles was coming today. I guess not." Pinkie said glumly. "Maybe... Maybe she wrote that, but mean't tomorrow!" she suddenly thought hopefully.

   So she decided to wait till the next day.

   Pinkie woke up bright and early-four hours earlier than the previous day-to get everything together and not have to rush everything. She made a batch of every cupcake she could think of, got some left-over candy canes from the refrigerator, made some new taffy of every color (including rainbow), and cleaned the sweet-shop before the Cakes could get there. "Told ya I'm responsible!" Pinkie mentioned, smiling and looking wide-eyed at the Cakes, who had their mouths gaping.

   The pink pony was determined to make today and even better day than yesterday. Because she wanted not only to prove to the Cakes that she was responsible so she could baby-sit the twins again, but also so that Sprinkles could come over that day and be able to have fun, not help work and clean.

   So Pinkie waited up in the break-room for 1:30 to swing around. She was so excited and couldnt wait. So to pass time, she played with the twins. After all, she only had one and a half hours till opening time was there.
