Sweet day turned sour

It was a bright day in Canterlot and Bon Bon stood at the gate to Canterlot Castle, a covered dish perfectly balanced on her back. As a new part of the Summer Sun Celebration, Princess Celestia had decided for a "Royal Pastry Off" to be held that was open to the public. In the name of fairness, Pinkie Pie had been banned from entering the contest, the winner was to receive a large commission from Celestia's personal treasury. I hope my Sugarmon Strings win... Bon Bon thought to herself as she trotted through the vacant hallway and up to the doors of the throne room, but she was puzzled by finding them locked. This is odd..

"My dear sister wished for some sudden private study time with Princess Twilight Sparkle, so I apologize for the delay and she will be with you shortly." A voice said behind her and when she looked there stood Princess Luna. "Come to think of it...hmmm...Secret Agent Sweetie Drops, think you can find out what is going on? If you succeed in the mission, I will promise you an equal commission to the winner's prize should you fail to win this contest. In the event you win the contest, I will personally match the reward as a bonus if you get to the root cause of my sister's behavior."

Bon Bon stammered and silently thanked Celestia's sun that nopony heard Luna call her by her actual name and title, but the reward was highly tempting...almost too tempting, but at the same time she needed the funds to expand her business. "Of course Princess Luna, I will be glad to help and I will report my findings to you."

"Good, now I must leave post haste to get some sleep so I can be refreshed while keeping my ponies' dreams sweet." The navy alicorn then left right as the doors to the throne room opened, showing Celestia and Twilight whispering and a pile of scrolls that Bon Bon had never seen the likes of before beside them. As soon as Bon Bon entered, the sound of her hoofsteps echoing through the room caused the two alicorns to stop talking and rest their attention on her.

"Sorry about that, but Twilight discovered a forgotten scroll and was eager to have me talk about it, now what is your treat for the Pastry Off?" Princess Celestia asked in a calm tone, almost like she was hiding something was just trying to cover her flank, which raised questions in the back of Bon Bon's mind.

"Luna might be on to something.... My treat is cheese sticks wrapped and fried in honey and cinnamon infused sugar glaze, think of it like fancy rock candy with a kick." Bon Bon said with her best smile present trying to fight back her nervousness.

"Interesting combination, well here goes nothing." Celestia then levitated the sticks over to herself, giving one to Twilight as well since everypony and their grandma knew of Twilight's "secret-but-not-so-secret" love affair with cheese. It was so bad that if there was a pony made out of cheese, she would probably marry it and find a way to have foals by it. Both alicorns eyes widened as the flavor erupted across their taste buds, the honey muting the overpowering cinnamon into submission while still giving it just enough kick to get the job done. The sugar only sweetened the experience by amplifying the effect of everything on top of the wonderful mozzarella stick that was at the center. "I think...I think we have a winner...congratulations Bon Bon."

Twilight was left twitching and highly disappointed that there were no more of the "cheese stick to end all cheese sticks" left on the plate, her lust for the solidified lactate by product thrown into overdrive. "I..need..more...." Twi said with a slight growl, actually managing to unnerve Bon Bon to the point she took a few steps back.

"Oh dear, I think it is best you leave Bon Bon unless you want her to bind and hold you hostage you until you agree to make her some more. I don't know if you recall, but do you remember what happened the last time somepony teased her and didn't follow up on their teasing?" Bon Bon shuddered, she had read the incident file and to this day it still gave her the occasional nightmare from looking at the pictures of what Twilight Sparkle had done to that poor colt, luckily he lived and Twilight healed him and covered his medical bills plus the time he lost from work but the mental scars had already been burned into both his and Bon Bon's minds. It was at this moment Celestia's words sunk into her and she realized that she was now in the exact same situation, but ever the quick thinker that she was, came up with a solution.

"Don't worry Twilight, come by my shop tomorrow afternoon around closing and I will make you a batch of 50 free of charge, does that sound like a good deal?" Twilight's ears perked up and she beamed a smile that would rival Pinkie's as she closed her eyes and happily nodded, a little drool coming from the corner of her muzzle as Bon Bon figured Twi lost herself into the thought of so much cheese. "So when do I get my commission Princess Celestia?"

"After the Summer Sun Celebration I will personally deliver it to you, now if you'll excuse me, I need to bring Twilight back to reality." Celestia waved a hoof in front of Twilight, when Twi didn't respond it proved her point.

"I will be on my way then." Bon Bon then bowed and left the throne room, but instead of heading outside, she ducked into the nearest empty room and put on her shades as she started to sing "Secret Agent Mare" to herself in her head as she scaled the glass to the throne room: She was so occupied by her favorite song that she accidentally broke through the glass by hitting the lone weakspot in it and found the two alicorns frozen looking at her in shock from being interrupted in the middle of passionately making love. "Uhh.....ummm...hi Princesses?"

The next thing Bon Bon saw was darkness.
