Too Far?

Cream Cake woke up immdiately noticing his rash was gone. But he still had patches of skin exposed from constant scratching. Cream Cake blushed at the memory and sighed, and walked towards the door he opened it and it was as if time slowed. The balloon slowly went towards the needle and as the needle collided with the balloon it popped. Time went back to normal as the fake blood spattered all over Cream Cake. Cream Cake yelped and wiped the substance from his closed eye's. He opened them and saw what looked to be was blood, Cream Cake felt his heart race and finally he screamed,

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" Meanwhile Poppy was making some more oatmeal cookies from her filly bake oven for Cream Cake. Since the last batch ended your on the floor. Poppy then heard a scream, she quickly pulled the last cookie out. And placed it in a basket as she made her way over to the orphanage. Crackers had also heard as he flew off to the orphanage to tell Cream Cake he had pranked him again. Poppy popped up from the loose floor board in Meadow's room and heard what sounded like a sink. As she looked down at the floor, it looked like blood. Poppy gave a muffled scream and placed the basket of cookies in Cream Cake's cage. Poppy jumped over the fake blood and ran to the restroom door. Poppy tried to push the door open but it was locked, Poppy sighed and out her ear to the door. She could hear Cream Cake crying and, Poppy teared up and wanted to help Cream Cake but doubted he'd let her. Poppy sighed and slid against the door she then heard wing's flapping. She looked to see Crackers fly into the room,

"YOU! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! DID YOU USE REAL BLOOD!? I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED WITH YOUR SICK SENSE OF HUMOUR!!" Poppy screamed. Crackers rolled his eye's,

"Relax I used fake blood." Crackers said calmly.

"SO!? YOU REALLY SCARED HIM!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR TO LOOSE HIS TEMPER! CAUSE WHEN HE DOES IT'S GONNA BE LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF!" Poppy said as tears welded up in her eye's,

"And I'm telling you he won't!" Crackers said as he flew off in a huff. Poppy growled suddenly she heard the door open, and Cream Cake came out with his fur soaked and he was shaking. Cream Cake moved the fur that was obscuring his vision. Cream Cake blushed a deep red when he saw Poppy was there. Poppy blushed as she ran to get a towel and tried not to stare. Poppy gave the towel to Cream Cake who took it instantly, and wrapped it around himself.

"Okay, no offense,but why we're you here!?" Cream Cake said as his face was still red. Poppy blushed redder,

"I came after I heard you scream. I wanted to know if you we're okay." Poppy said shyly, Cream Cake blushed redder.

"I-I'm sorry I shouldn't have raised my voice." Cream Cake said as his ears fell. Poppy sighed,

"Cream Cake. The truth is you really should tell Crackers what you think. Your good a being honest but only when ponies ask you something. You need to be honest to Crackers and tell him what you think." Poppy said calmly. Cream Cake blush deepend,

"I-I can't! If I tell him what I think of his pranks I'd break his heart." Cream Cake said.

"Listen on Monday me and Crackers made a bet to see if by the end of this week you'd lose your temper or not. I made the bet because I thought it was the only way for you to get to tell Crackers what you think. Even if it resulted in you hurting Crackers's feelings. But I'm worried that keeping your emotions bottled up will do more harm to you especially. I don't care about the bet, if you refuse to lose your temper then I respect that. But I want you to be happy." Poppy said and Cream Cake felt tears come to his eye's as he hugged Poppy. Poppy blushed and berried her face into Cream Cake's fur. Cream Cake blushed sniffed the air,

"Hey did you make oatmeal cookies?" Cream Cake asked. Poppy smiled and pulled out of the embrace,

"Yep!" Poppy said cheerfully. Poppy then ran over and put the basket of cookies in between her and Cream Cake. Cream Cake took one and started eating it,

"So are you going to tell Crackers what you think?" Poppy said. Cream Cake swallowed and his ears twitched nervously.

"I-I'm sorry Poppy but I don't feel like that would be a wise idea." Cream Cake said. Poppy smiled,

"It's okay Cream Cake, it's okay." Poppy smiled and Cream Cake smiled as he sat closer to Poppy and shared the cookies with her. Meanwhile Crackers was in Bumper's room. Planning another prank......except not for Cream Cake.

"I'm sick of Poppy! I think I'm gonna have to pull a prank on her and show her what it's like." Crackers said with a smug grin. Crackers then felt a lightbulb go off in his head. And Crackers smiled, 'Best idea I've ever had.' Crackers though as he sketched out his plan.
