NEVER! EVER! LET PINKIE LISTEN TO RAP!

It was a Sunday afternoon at Sugarcube Corner, rain was pouring hard outside the famous sweet shop due to the pegasi scheduling a rainstorm for the weekend and because of that the Cakes had to close up shop early. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie sat by the window at the entrance of the shop, watching the rain pour down as she let out a deep sigh.

If there was one thing that the party pony didn’t like, it was sheer boredom.

“Ugh… They just had to schedule it to rain on a perfect day!” Pinkie moaned as slammed her head against the table.

*Thud*

“Pinkie, maybe you could help out with sweeping while the boys take care of the Dishes?” Cup Cake asked, carrying both Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake in her hooves who were asleep. “I’m gonna put the kids to bed and I’ll be right back.”

“Okie Dokie!” Pinkie said, smiling as she suddenly leaped from her seat and immediately zipped over to the cleaning closet, pulling out a broom and dustpan. She then proceeded to sweep underneath the tables.

As the storm carried on, Carrot Cake had begun picking up leftover dishes that were left by the previous patrons before the storm had hit.

“Hey, Coal, mind giving me a hoof with these dishes!?” he shouted, turning his head towards the doorway leading into the kitchen.

Emerging from the kitchen was a black alicorn wearing a light blue jacket with a white cotton collar and a silver neck brace with a glowing blue stone in the center of it. He had a mane white as snow and pure silver eyes.

“Sure not an issue at all boss!” Coal answered.

“I told you just call me Carrot!”

It didn’t take too long to clean everything in the shop as they didn’t have too many customers because of the storm. Once they were done, The Cakes had given the two the rest of the day off. Immediately, in a pink flash, she appeared beside the charcoal alicorn with a wide grin.

“So, what do you want to do now that we have the day off, Coaly?!” Pinkie asked.

*Grooooowl*

“Eheh… Maybe get something to eat first… I’m starving,” Marcus sheepishly replied, his cheeks reddened ever so slightly.

Cute. Pinkie briefly thought as the alicorn began to make his way towards the kitchen.

“Hey, Pinks, would you mind doing me a quick favor?” he asked.

Skipping over to the serving window leading towards the kitchen with a pep in her step. She watched eagerly as the alicorn pulled out some bread from the pantry.

“Think you could go up to my room and get me my journal? It should be on my bed next to my headphones. I have a recipe I wrote in it for Spike’s famous Daisy and Daffodil noodle soup and I figured I could give it a try,” He explained while grabbing condiments and other ingredients in his hooves.

“Oooh! That sounds tasty, I’ll be back in a jiffy!” Pinkie said cheerfully as she immediately zipped in a blink of an eye and was now standing in front of Marcus’ door to his bedroom. Giggling to herself as she motioned her hoof to the doorknob and began to turn it.

Ooooohhh! This’ll be so fun! I wonder what other recipes he has in his book? GASP! What if there are baking recipes!? Opening the door to his room, she noticed that there wasn’t much in his room aside from the bed and an old brown nightstand that’s been there for who knows how long and a lamp. However she did notice that there was a pair of black headphones on the nightstand and a strange rectangular device that was connected to the headphones.

She noticed an image appear on the screen with strange names she’s never heard of before and the words “The Heist” written in large golden letters and beneath it the words “Thrift Shop” and the play symbol right beneath. She gasped as she realized what was on this strange rectangular device.

Gasp! This must be a music player of some kind… but I’ve never heard of these singers or seen anything like it before… She thought to herself as she quickly glanced back towards the door and then back to the device and the notebook in her hooves. I’m sure… it wouldn’t hurt to listen to it for just a minute right?

Marcus wasn’t quite sure what was taking Pinkie Pie so long, but he decided that instead of waiting for her to come back, he decided to “screw it” and just make a couple of sandwiches and try again later. Though he was curious as to what was keeping the party pony.

“Hey! Pinks! What’s taking you so long?!” He shouted, using his magic to pull out a jaw of mayonnaise from the fridge.

*SLAM*

“DA-DUM, ba-dum, ba-da-do-da!” Pinkie sang as she came barreling in, wearing a pair of black sunglasses & a blue baseball cap worn backwards. Posing in front of the charcoal alicorn who only looked at the party pony completely confused.

“Uh… Pinkie what are you-”

“I’m gonna pop some tags~ Got twenty bits in my pocket~ I’mma’ huntin’, lookin’ for a come up~ This is f**king awesome! OW!” She sang, pumping her hoof into the air, smiling at Marcus, expecting him to smile back at her, but instead his eyes were as wide as dinner plates as he was squeezing the jar of mayonnaise with his magic, splattering it all over the floor.

Marcus for his part was completely mortified by what he had just heard coming from the party pony’s mouth. In his short time in Equestria, he never imagined somepony as sweet and kind as Pinkie or anyone in Ponyville really dropping an F-Bomb. All he could think about was how on earth did she hear that song? Until it clicked. He had left his headphones on the nightstand along with his phone.

He mentally slapped himself in the face for being so stupid as to leave his phone alone upstairs in the open with his headphones. He hoped Death didn’t leave any messages that Pinkie would see, but he could dwell on that later. For now he had bigger fish to fry.

“PINKIE! I-Just-What- Do you have any idea what you just said!?!?” Marcus shouted, anger rising in his throat as he glared at the pink mare, who looked surprised by his reaction.

“Yeah, is there a problem Coaly?”

“You bet there’s a problem! You touched my headphones without asking, and you… you said the F-word,” Marcus whispered to her as she was suddenly shuddering for some strange reason.

“T-The F… word?”

With a deep sigh, Marcus began to rub the bridge of his nose before looking directly at Pinkie who looked more confused. “F-F**king… is a… bad word where I come from and is… very inappropriate.”

“Ohhhhh, is that all?” Pinkie asked.

“I-Is that all!?” Marcus asked, completely shocked.

“What do you mean? It’s not the first time I heard that word,”

“W-Where would you-”

“Ever heard of Manehattan? That city has a very colorful language that I always thought was completely mean, but when I heard the beginning of that song on the rectangle screen you had, I thought it was really snazzy~” Pinkie replied nervously as she tapped her hooves together.

Marcus for his part couldn’t believe what he was hearing, the fact that those words he had heard in his world were also in this world was surprising at the very least. However, it wasn’t going to change the fact that she had gone through his belongings without his permission.

“W-Well you do know that I only asked you to get my journal right? Not listen to my music,”

“S-Sorry… I just got curious and it looked interesting,” Marcus raised a brow when she said that, but seeing the guilty look in her eyes as he just let out a sigh before a small grin began to form on his face.

“You know, you could have just asked me, you know?” He suggested, patting the party pony on the head as she started laughing.

“Hehehe… yeah… I’ll ask next time, but if the song was so bad, why were you listening to it?” Asked Pinkie, who gave him a curious look.

“For nostalgic reasons… I grew up listening to this music,” he explained. “And uh… How much did you hear exactly?”

“Just to where he sang “This is F**king awesome,” is all… Why?”

“No reason! A-Anyway… I decided to make some sandwiches instead… you okay with having that for lunch instead?”

“Oooooh~ That sounds yummy~” Pinkie licked her lips as she set her hat and glasses to the side as she skipped over to the kitchen counter. Marcus letting out a chuckle as he continued to make the sandwiches, telling himself that he could always make that soup next time.
