The New Family

Me and my little sister trotted away from the library, Annabella was waving back at Twilight in hopes of seeing her again, and reading some more books with her. We both headed towards Sugercube corner, hopping to find Angel not completely filled with sweets from the bakery.

Annabella was always the quite one out of the two fillies, but still, she had a more... energetic side to her once her sister Angel got her into trouble. Angel was the complete opposite as the name implies, she had a knack for getting into trouble. She usually got her sister, and sometimes me, into trouble once she got into it. They were both completely different mares, but had their similarities throughout their life. Even if they did get into some sticky situations back in the day, I can't say I didn't enjoy the adventures the two put me through. Especially teaching them their life lessons, growing up. "Yup, life with these two twins sure has its downs, but way more ups." I smiled as I whispered that to myself.

While I was thinking about the past, Annabella tugged on my mane and said, "Skylar, we're here." she said that with a giggle because I was completely daydreaming and almost hit the side of the bakery. Annabella was still giggling at me but she stopped as soon as I asked her,"Annabella please, don't encourage your sister to do anything we all will regret when I go in to pull her out, ok? If you will, can you just read your book out here?", Annabella simply nodded and sat down in a chair at the front of the bakery, opening her book and began reading it. I simply smiled at this, I can't say it wasn't cute the way she dug her head into that book, it was adorable how intrigued she was by them.

I trusted Annabella to stay put while I went inside, besides she wasn't getting out of that book anytime soon, that thing was huge! I approached the double doors, I inhaled a bit to prepare me for what lied ahead. I walked through the doors of the bakery only to find a clean room but no sister or workers for that matter. Not a single pony was in sight, I started to wonder if Angel left this place and went home. I was extremely worried at this point, I shouted out, "Angel! Where are you?"

I was starting to hyperventilate I was so worried, I was about to shout out again with more volume when a loud 'Boom' came from the kitchen, when this happened the entire bakery filled with white powdery flour. I could barely see anything, that flour was like a thick smog, I tried to navigate through the thick flour cloud to look for Angel, but I continuously bumped into things all around me. I was tired of hitting things and wanted to find Angel ASAP "Alright, enough of this!" I said as I flapped my wings violently, clearing the flour cloud almost instantly. Still the cloud left a large amount of flour all around the bakery."Wow this place definitely needs a good sweeping" I thought to myself as I started to walk around the bakery, leaving no stone unturned as I looked for Angel. I suddenly heard giggling in the back of the bakery. I galloped back into the back to find Angel covered in flour and talking to a pink mare. I looked down at Angel as I walked in, I tried to apologize to the girl baking for what my sister had done, but instead heard these words escape the bakers mouth, "Oh hehe darn I guess i grabbed the baking soda, instead of the sugar, my bad! hehe oh well lets try that again."

"Huh, the one time Angel is caught in a mess and she didn't cause it, time to bust out the champagne!" I thought to myself. I walked up to them both, winking at my sister for not blowing up the bakery, as she smiled and winked back "Oh I'm sorry if my sister bothered you, can I help you clean up this mess?" Angel only giggled and said, " Yes Skylar that would be great! by the way this is Pinkiepie." She had flour and dough all in her little curls, her ponytail on her mane was completely white, and she had a little bit of crumbs on her mouth, so I could tell she snacked a little bit. As soon as Angel mentioned my name, that pink mare took a big breath and let the words, fly out of her mouth. "Skylar huh? Wow thats an awesome name! Like I said, Im Pinkiepie, I'm one of the bakers around here. Your little sister, man-o-man she sure does know her baking, I mean she helped me make a pie a few minutes ago and it was-" She just kept on and on and on and on. But she did seem very nice and hyper, no wonder my sister wanted to bake with her, she was what Angel called 'Fun'. I smiled and grabbed a nearby broom and started to sweep up the flour from the floor as Pinkie kept talking about her first impression with Angel. Pinkie only went on as she spat the words out at me, "And then this little filly walked in and she looked hungry, and I asked, hey are you hungry, and she said, YES! and so I offered her to come back to the kitchen and bake and then this-" Yup she went on and on and on about Angel, but I didn't mind that, I love hearing good things about my sisters.

I finally swept up the last pile of flour, with Pinkiepie still going on about sweets, but she wasn't nearly as bad as when both the twins got full of sugar. "Oh wow this floor looks so much cleaner! Mr. and Mrs. Cake will be so happy you helped, maybe I'll mention you and you can help clean up around here for a job! does that sound good Skylar?" said Pinkiepie

"Wow two jobs in just one day, we are definitely gonna make rent and more so with this kind of progress!" I thought to myself. Pinkiepie continued talking but her topic went right back to Angel, "Did I forget to mention that your sister is an amazing baker! She is one of my best helpers! well she's one of only helpers, but thats not the point!" After hearing her talk so much I thought to myself, that girl talks more than she breathes! But she sure did like Angel, maybe Angel could do something that got her focused off of getting into trouble, and finally do something productive.

"Uhh may I speak real quick Pinkie?" I asked the energetic filly

"Sure Skylar! What is it!"

"Well Angel do you like to help Pinkie with baking?

The little filly looked up at me with her big blue eyes and said,"Yes Skylar! I love to Bake! Its going to be so much fun doing it with Pinkiepie!"

"Well.." I said as my voice trailed off, "I dunno, I don't think Ms.Pinkiepie wants you in her hair." I said with a smirk as Pinkiepie spoke up,"Nooooo, she's not in my hair, she's in my kitchen! she's no where near my hair at all Skylar!" I tried not to laugh as she said that, but kept a straight face and said, "Well I guess when I come to clean up around here, Angel, if you want, you can come and bake with Ms.Pinkiepie. Does that sound all right?" the two gleeful girls jumped on me and put me to the ground, both of them saying in union, "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" They both got off me and I stood up from the floor. I loved to see some pony happy, especially if it was my sisters, or the people they met.

I told Pinkie we had to leave for work and school tomorrow, she wasn't to happy about that, but she did give us some sweets from the bakery that her and Angel made as a gift to all of us. I thanked her and me and Angel walked out the door, Annabella was so deep in her book that she didn't even notice we came out. I had to pull her book away from her to get her attention. Even though the girls ran off away from me to go look someplace, I was feeling bad that the twins didn't get to spend enough time with their two new friends, I let both of them say goodbye to each of them before we headed home, being the nice brother that I was.

The sun started going down, as we were heading home. While we walked on the dirt trail home, the twins were talking to each other about what they did today and who the met, I was just happy they opened up to some ponies about what they like to do. When we got home I set up dinner for the three of us, giving us all some sweets that Pinkiepie gave us before leaving. The twins both talked non-stop of what they did today, I only nodded and smiled at the conversation the two were having.

When we got finished with dinner, both fillies took a shower, and brushed their teeth like good mares do. They both hopped in bed together and got cozy with their favorite stuffed animals beside them. I chuckled at the two, looking so adorable as they got ready for bed. I tucked them both in, and turned of the light and started to close the door. Then the two little fillies said to me, "Skylar, your the best big brother in all of Equestria." they both jumped out of bed and gently hugged me around my neck. After all the things we've been through, I could tell, Ponyville was going to be one of the greatest experiences of our lives.
