Pattycakes: Needs

Big Mac was in the house, sucking on a pacifier in his room.

When suddenly, Twilight teleported onto his bed.

He proceeded to let out a muffled scream, wondering where she came from.

Twilight turned to the stallion, blushing as she had invaded his priavcy.

Spike just chuckled, “Hah. Sup, Little Mac.”

Big Macintosh narrowed his eyes, spat out the binkie, and demanded to know, “What, Twilight?”

She jumped from his bed, looked out the window, then realized they had a bit before Rainbow went over to talk with Applejack.

Twilight then turned around, walked to the hoof of his bed, then stood there thinking for a moment.

Big Mac asked as she just stared at him blankly for a moment, “Uh...Twilight? You been drinking some Foalmula lately?”

Twilight then drops to her knees, begging him, “Help me! Please! Your sister and Rainbow are going to ruin Fluttershy’s life when Dash is told the truth! You’ve gotta make her promise not to tell!”

Sighing, Big Macintosh replied to Twilight’s display with annoyance, “Twilight, I an’ ma sis ain’t seen eye to eye on dis. At all. I won’t be a much help to ya.”

Twilight screams in frustration, “Then, why would I even go to you for help?!”

He shrugs, then gets off his bed.

After promptly leaving the room, he returns with a wrangled Applejack cursing her brother out, “Unhoof me, darnit! Brother, you’ll be lucky to see sundown if I ain’t put down-”

He tossed her onto the bed, then blocked the door by just sitting in front of it.

Big Macintosh looks to Twilight, replying as she soaked up her tears, “There. Now, you sort dis all out.”

Twilight and Applejack stare at the other.

…

A.J. just exclaims, “Dammit, Twilight! I won’t tell Rainbow a damn thing!”

Twilight whispered as she scraped the floor with a hoof, “Pinkie Promise...”

Applejack moaned, then did exactly as she was asked, eye-prodding motion and all.

All with enough venom to kill a snake.

Twilight sighed in relief...until Applejack explained, “I’ve got a few other ways of makin’ Fluttershy stop dis freakshow by tomorrow’s end, anyways.”

Twilight and Big Mac frowned, looked to each other, then glared at the captive mare before them.

All Applejack could say was, “Hey, I’m just being honest. This is crazy. An, it’s even more plum crazy my own family and friends would allow such behavior in de first place.”

The two others in the room shouted, “Hey!”

Applejack got comfy on the bed, crossing her hooves and pulling her hat down, “Bunch of big babies is all of ya. Too scared to hurt somepony’s feelings when they deserve hurtin’.”

Twilight recommended to Applejack instead, “Why don’t you just willingly try it out? Being a baby should be fun for you most of all!”

“Nope. Only doing it to uphold my end of dis here bargain.”

“It makes you stress-free, though.”

“I get eight hours of unstressed sleep. Good enough for me.”

“What about having somepony take care of your every need?”

“I like not being lazy.”

Twilight moaned, guessing she would just have to check up on Fluttershy and Applejack more tomorrow than she thought.

Knock. Knock.

Applejack guessed right, “Rainbow, I believe?”

Twilight nodded with hesitation, still depression at what tomorrow held.

Applejack stood up, promising, “Whatever she’s here for, it ain’t gonna matter in a bit. We’re gonna do whatever my friend Rainbow wants to do tonight. Starting as soon as I leave this house.”

She threatened Big Mac, “Get up, or I toss your paci outside.”

He didn’t need anymore reason to climb to his hooves hurriedly, even opening the door for his little sister with a nervous smile on.

Applejack left them behind, yelling as she went downstairs, “You two weirdos have fun!”
