"You wanna play, Dashie?" Pinkie asked, bouncing the ball. Dashie just looked away and for the first time in forever, her tail wasn't wagging. In fact she looked sad. She walked to the door and scratched on it a few times, showing that she wanted to be with Twilight.

"No Dashie! Come on, I thought you Love playing!"
Then cries came from a baby from upstairs.
"Oh no, I have to feed the babies! How could I forgot!? The Cakes would NEVER let me babysit them EVER. AGAIN.!!!" She rushed to the kitchen. Dashie just sat there, tilting her head. When she heard more sounds from the kitchen, she got curious again and walked to the room slowly.

Pinkie was warming up the bottles for the babies. Dashie sniffed around. Sweet scents from everywhere! She looked around. Cakes, muffins, cupcakes and other sweet things were surrounding her. Her eyes lit up and she licked her snout. And of course, her tail got its fire back.

As soon as Pinkie ran upstairs and left her alone with all the sweets, she couldn't resist any longer and with the blink of an eye 24 cupcakes vanished into her stomach.

When Pinkie returned, covered in flour, she froze. Dashie just ate EVERYTHING!!! And that's just how the little dog was looking like. Pinkie rushed over to her, tears welling up in her eyes. Twilight had told her to lock the doors and never leave her out of sight! She was the Worst dog sitter EVER!!! Now she was scared that she would lose Twilight as a friend if she found out. What she needed was a plan. What could fix this mess?
She got an idea. Could she just push it out of her?

She looked at Dashie, lying on the floor like an overfilled hoofball that was about to burst the second it touched a ground.
She shook her head. Nope. That was out of question. Her next idea: throw up. But what would cause a dog, who just ate tons of sugar and things that were very bad for little doggys, to throw up?! She gulped. Then she grabbed a spoon and pushed it down Dashies throat. The dog almost immediately started choking and coughing until it all came up again.
Pinkie wasn't sure if she was more disgusted by the sight, relieved that it was over or happy to find someone who could eat as much as her, even if it was anything but good.

She cleaned up the mess and Dashie so Twilight would never have to find out. Just as she was finished, Twilight was knocking at the door, looking worried but way more relaxed than 2 hours ago. She opened the door and Twilight was tackled to the ground from her dog. As always Dashie was licking, but she was licking Twilight like she hadn't seen her in 20 years. Twilight was relieved, Dashie was okey and the bakery didn't look like Dashie had been here at all. Maybe Pinkie really Did have things under control.

"Hey Twilight!" The pink pony bounced to her and helped her up.

"Hey Pinkie! Looks like you two had lots of fun together." She smiled.

"Oh, yeah, we did!" She answered hesitantly. Twilight wanted to ask her but decided it was better not to know what really happened. She was so relaxed, she hadn't been in days and wouldn't want to ruin it.

"Thanks a lot Pinkie! I knew I could count on you!"

"Oh, no problem Twilight! Dashie is a good dog!"

"Yeah.. I hope she wasn't too much trouble."
Baby cries came from upstairs again.

"Oh, sorry Twilight! I think somepony needs a change!" She vanished upstairs.

Twilight giggled. Pinkie Pie. Random. Anyways, this was a good time to go for a walk.

At night it was hard to get some sleep. Dashie couldn't sit still, jumped on and off the bed, walked around or was chewing on the furniture in Twilight's bedroom. The sugar from earlier was affecting her.

"Urgh! Dashie just come to bed and sleep!" Twilight got angry. Dashie hated that. She folded her ears back and hopped back on the bed to Twilight and curled up beside her. The alicorn sighed and laid back, hoping she could finally get some sleep.

That was until Dashie stood up again and turned in place, trying to find the best way to lay down. She would never find it.
Twilight groaned. This never happened before! Normally Dashie was just so energetic over the day and was easily falling asleep at night. She got an idea. Twilight got up and went over to her chest, opened it and grabbed smarty pants. The plushy in her magic she trotted back to Dashie, who was staring at her. She gave Dashie the plushy. The dog glanced at it, touching it hesitantly with her front paw to see if it was alive. Then she took it very carefully in her mouth and curled up on the bed. When Dashie wasn't standing up again after 10 minutes and silent snores could be heard, Twilight smiled and got back to bed, finally drifting off to sleep.
