Pinkie Pie's kitchen was a whirlwind of colors, smells, and laughter as the last batch of cookies cooled on the counter. Applejack wiped a streak of flour from her cheek as she slumped onto the sofa in the living room.

"Well, Pinkie, I reckon we’ve made enough treats to feed an army," Applejack said with a proud grin, stretching her legs.

Pinkie plopped down beside her, her pink curls bouncing. "Oh, Applejack, we’re going to blow everyone away at the Canterlot High bake sale! I mean, who can resist double-frosted banana cupcakes with sprinkles on top?!"

Applejack chuckled, tipping her hat back. "Reckon nobody can."

Suddenly, a loud clatter echoed from the kitchen, followed by an unmistakable squeal of delight.

"What in tarnation?!" Applejack sprang to her feet as Pinkie gasped.

They dashed into the kitchen to find chaos. Pots and pans littered the floor, frosting smeared on the cabinets, and two tiny troublemakers—Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake—giggling with stolen treasures. Pound Cake had a cupcake squished between his hands and Pumpkin was happily munching on a half-eaten cookie.

Pinkie’s face fell, her normally bouncy demeanor deflating like a popped balloon. "Oh no! The treats! I let everybody down!"

Mr. and Mrs. Cake rushed in, their faces a mix of apology and exhaustion. "We’re so sorry, Pinkie!" Mrs. Cake panted. "We thought we had an eye on them, but—"

"They’re faster than greased lightning," Mr. Cake finished with a sheepish smile.

Applejack placed a hand on Pinkie’s shoulder. "Now hold on there, sugarcube. Don’t go blaming yourself. Ain’t nobody could’ve stopped these little rascals."

Pinkie sniffled, her lip trembling. "But the bake sale! Everyone at Canterlot High is counting on us!"

Applejack knelt beside her, her green eyes steady and reassuring. "We’ve still got time, Pinkie. And I know just the thing to lift your spirits—we’ll head over to Dragon Land and visit our dragon friends for a spell. They’re always full of good ideas."

Pinkie’s eyes sparkled with renewed energy. "Oh, Applejack, that’s a great idea!"

Before she could bounce out the door, Mr. Cake cleared his throat. "Actually, Pinkie, we were hoping you could watch the twins while we run to the store for more supplies."

Pinkie hesitated but then smiled brightly. "Okay, Mr. Cake! Leave it to me!"

She crouched down to face Pound and Pumpkin, who giggled innocently. "Alright, you two," she said with mock sternness. "No more sneaky trouble-making, okay?"

The twins responded with toothy grins and a pair of giggles that promised they’d try.

Applejack chuckled. "Looks like you got your hands full, partner."

"Yup!" Pinkie said, bouncing back into her usual cheerfulness.

With that, Pinkie, Applejack and the twins head over to Pinkie’s room, Applejack and Pinkie put their dragon badges on and they hold Pinkie’s dragon scale while Applejack is holding Pound with one hand and Pinkie holds on to Pumpkin with one hand. “I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with Dragons, in a land apart!” The duo recited in unison as the dragons on Pinkie’s walls flew off, swirled around them all, and off they went!

A few moments later, the girls and the twins have rematerialized into Dragon Land, where they see Cassie, Zak, Wheezie and Ord making a landing.

“Hi, Pinkie. Hi, Applejack.” greeted Cassie.

“Wanna play Flying Freeze Tag with us?” asked Ord.

After some quick thinking, the girls agreed.

“Sure.” Pinkie replied.

“Sure. Why not.” Applejack said

“Hop on.” Ord and Cassie instructed in unison as the two girls got on their backs while the cake twins rode with them (Pound with Pinkie and Pumpkin with Applejack) and got ready to play.

While the gang were playing the game of flying freeze tag, Applejack sees that she, Pumpkin and Ord are approaching something that looks like a Gelatin. “Ord. We're gonna crash.” Applejack exclaimed

Ord, who noticed Applejack’s warning, was scared. Luckily, instead of crashing, they just bounced on the Gelatin and back onto the ground.

Pumpkin just giggled, all happy from that bounce.

“What is that?” Applejack asked.

“I don’t know, but it was gooey and fun.” Ord answered as the Pinkie, Cassie, Pound, Zak and Wheezie had landed on the Gelatin unaware that it was a surprise for someone else; for a friend.

“Cassie, do you know what that is?” Pinkie asked.

“I’ve only seen one in books but I think it might be a bounce-a-mount.” Cassie explained.

“Really? Then let's all bouncy-bouncy. Come on.” Wheezie said as the group started to bounce on the gelatin.

“OH YEAH!!!!!!” Pinkie cheered.

And so, everyone was bouncing on the “bounce-a-mount”, laughing and having a good time. However, while they were jumping they didn’t realize that they were ruining it, causing many dents on this thing as they bounced, until… they heard a loud sobbing sound, which almost sounds like violent heavy coughing.

“Look, it's Mungus.” Zak said as he heard the crying sound.

Mungus approaches the girls and the dragons sobbing at what he saw to his small sized friends at the ruined “bounce-a-mount” devastated at what he saw.

“Mungus, what's the matter?” Ord replied.

“I made that wiggly-jiggly dessert all by myself. It was going to be a surprise for my mommy's birthday, and now it's ruined! Mungus said tearfully as the gang gets down to the ground and Pinkie runs up to hug Mungus.

“Oh Mungus, we’re sorry.” Pinkie apologized.

“I thought it was a bounce-a-mount and it was alright to play on.” Cassie said.

“We didn’t know it was dessert.” Wheezie said.

“Mungus, we knew NOTHING about this.” Applejack said. “Honest.”

“I know you didn’t do it on purpose, but what am I going to do now? My mommy will be home from work soon and I won’t have anything special to give her!” Mungus complained as he almost started to cry.

“Oh… Well, that explains the dents on this “bounce-a-mount” our feet. Pinkie replied.

“I have an idea. How about we all help you make another wiggly jiggly?” Cassie asked

“You mean it? You'll really help me?” Mungus asked.

“Sure. What are friends for?” Pinkie said.

“Oh, thanks a lot.” Mungus replied happily. “But we have to hurry. I have some of the things I need. But I also need some special ingredients.” he instructed.

“You just tell us what we need. Mungus.” Pinkie said.

Mungus grabbed the paper and found the instructions “Now, the recipe says we need two kinds of flowers: buttercups and catgloves. Then we need pink and yellow sea shells and round and squared bubbles, both blue and red.” Mungus instructed.

“I think I can find buttercups and catgloves in Flower Valley.” Cassie said.

“I've never been in Flower Valley.” Applejack said. “Can I go with you, Cassie?” she asked.

“Sure. It will be fun flying with you for a change.” Cassie said as Applejack got on her back and off they went to Flower Valley for buttercups and catgloves.

“Where do you think we can find the seashells, sis?” Zak asked.

“Let's try the Dragoon Lagoon.” Wheezie said.

“I bet I can find tons of bubbles at the Fizzing Fountain.” Ord said.

“Ord, since Applejack is going with Cassie, can I fly with you?” Pinkie asked.

“Climb aboard.” Ord instructed as Pinkie climbed on and off they went to the Fizzing Fountain.

“You two can help us look for the seashells.” Zak said as he and Wheezie picked up Pound and Pumpkin and flew off to Dragoon Lagoon, carrying the Cake twins in their arms.

“Oh, thank you, everyone. I hope we can do it.” Mungus said.

“We’ll do it. Right on time, then, we’ll eat and share the wiggly jiggly, together including your mother, think of it as a “community service.” Applejack said as the others flew off.

“Yeah, hard working Community service.” Mungus replied.

At Flower Valley, Applejack and Cassie started to look for Buttercups and Catgloves. Applejack was amazed at the flowers here on Flower Valley.

“Wow… Look at all the flowers.” Applejack said. “I wish Apple Bloom and the others would be here to see this.” she said as she started to pick flowers.

“Applejack? Are you sure we picked the right flowers?” Cassie asked.

“Uh, I don’t remember.” Applejack replied.

“Me neither.” Cassie said. “I forgot what Mungus said. Maybe we better go back and ask again. Applejack said. “...and fast.”

Back at the place where the others have accidentally ruined Mungus’ mother’s wiggly jiggly dessert, Mungus has already put the original wrecked one in the trash and was working on the new one just as Applejack and Cassie arrived here to give him some advice.

“Mungus? We need to ask you something.” Cassie asked.

“We forgot what flowers you wanted us to bring back.” Applejack explains.

“Oh, don’t worry. Sometimes I forget things too.” Mungus replies, showing the duo the recipe sheet.

“Let’s see. Buttercups and catgloves. Buttercups and catgloves. Buttergloves and cat-- How are we ever going to remember those?” Applejack recites before she asks.

“Well, I make up a picture in my mind and then it reminds me of the words.” Mungus explains.

“What do you mean?” Cassie asks.

“Well, if I have to remember "hot dogs" I think of a dog who's so hot he's sitting in front of an air conditioner.” Mungus clarifies.

“I get it. So to help remember buttercups, we can think of a cup full of butter.” Applejack thought.

“...and you can tell which flower is a buttercup because they're yellow. Just like butter. See?” Mungus explains, pointing his finger at the buttercups on the sheet.

“For catgloves, how about if we think of a cat wearing gloves?” Cassie suggests.

“Okay, a cup full of butter and a cat wearing gloves.” Applejack recites, understanding what to do now.

“Be back soon.” Cassie said as she and Applejack flew back to the field.

“Remember, a cup full of butter.” Cassie instructs.

“What about these flowers, sugarcube?” Applejack asks, pointing at the yellow flowers.

“Let's see. They're yellow like butter, they look just like the picture. Those are buttercups. Nice job, Applejack. Now let's find a cat that wears gloves.” Cassie replies with Applejack feeling proud of herself.

“Catgloves.” Applejack recites.

It took a few seconds for Cassie to find the Catgloves they were looking for.

“All right, Sugarcube. We sure make a good team.” Applejack cheered.

“We sure do, Applejack. Let's hurry. Mungus needs these flowers right away.” Cassie replies as she picks the Catgloves and she and Applejack are on their way back to Mungus.

Meanwhile at Dragoon Lagoon, Zak and Wheezie were looking for the seashells (still holding the Cake twins in their arms, giggling), but were facing the same dilemma as Applejack and Cassie.

“Where in the world are we gonna find green and brown seashells?” Wheezie asks.

“You mean silver and gold seashells.” Zak said.

“No, I mean green and brown. Or was it green and silver? Or was it brown and gold?” Wheezie replies, clearly forgetting what seashells she, Zak and the Cake twins were looking for.

“Oh, brother.” Zak sighed as the twins were feeling the same way.

“We better go check with Mungus. He'll tell us who's right.” Zak suggests as the twins were nodding their heads in agreement.

One flight to Mungus later, they finally make it for Wheezie to explain the situation.

“We had one eensy weensy little problem.” Wheezie explained.

“Will you please tell my sister we're supposed to be looking for silver and gold seashells?” Zak asks.

“Please tell my brother that we are looking for green and brown seashells?” Wheezie asks back as the twins sigh in annoyance.

“Sorry, but you're both wrong. For the recipe, we need pink and yellow sea shells.” Mungus explains.

“I guess we better really think of how to remember yellow and pink.” Zak said.

“Hey, you made a rhyme.” Wheezie giggled, realizing that Zak made a rhyme that could help them and the twins looked for the yellow and pink seashells. “Love it!” “How about this rhyme? My friends and I say it when we jump-rope. Mrs. Dink Likes to wink. When Mrs. Bellow plays her cello.” she recites as the twins giggle.

“What does that have to do with pink and yellow?” Zak asks, confused.

“Actually, if you change it to "Mrs. Pink and Mrs. Yellow" maybe the rhymes will help you remember pink and yellow seashells.” Mungus explains.

“You're brilliant, Mungus. Let's try it, Zaky.” Wheezie cheers.

♪ Mrs. Pink likes to wink when Mrs. Yellow plays her cello ♪ Zak and Wheezie sang as the twins babble along to the rhythm.

“I like it. I'm sure it will help you remember. Now please, hurry.” Mungus replied. With that, Zak, Wheezie and the Cake twins go back to Dragoon Lagoon.

♪ Mrs. Pink Likes to wink when Mrs. Yellow plays her cello ♪ Zak and Wheezie sang in unison as the group finally found the pink and yellow seashells they were looking for.

Meanwhile at Fizzing Fountain, Pinkie and Ord find what they were looking for.

“Wow, look at all the pretty bubbles.” Ord exclaimed in awe.

“They’re just what we need.” Pinkie exclaimed as she picked up the red and blue bubbles (just what Mungus needs).

“Oh, thank you, thank you. Now, I better make sure we have everything. I need buttercups and catgloves. Check. Pink and yellow seashells. Check. Blue and red bubbles. Check.” Mungus praised the girls, the twins and the dragon gang as they came back with their right ingredients.

“The flowers will make the wiggly jiggly smell yummy. The seashells will make it taste delicious and these bubbles will make it look really pretty.” Mungus explains as the group adds the ingredients into the batter one group at a time.

Mungus adds the other ingredients required, stirs it up and sets it to harden in a round pan. Just almost an hour later, the gelatin got out and it looked really neat!

“Oooh, it’s beautiful.” Pinkie cheered in excitement

“Yeah. Your mom is gonna love it.” Wheezie said just when there was a loud rumbling similar to an earthquake, which was coming from Mungus’ mom.

“Is that an earthquake?” Applejack replied.

“That sounds like my mommy. Let's surprise her.” Mungus exclaimed as everyone hid behind bushes, trees and mountains.

“Surprise!” Everyone cheered in unison as the Cake twins were giggling.

“Happy birthday, Mommy,” said Mungus. “We all made this special dessert just for you.”

“Oh, my little baby. A wiggly jiggly. My favorite.” Mungus’ mom cheered.

“..and I thought Granny Smith was big.” Applejack chuckled.

“Wow! This is the nicest surprise ever.” Mungus’ mom said in excitement.

“Well, let’s eat everyone!” Pinkie said.

After Applejack, Pinkie, the Cake Twins, the dragons, Mungus and his mom have eaten the Wiggly Jiggly, it’s time for the girls and the babies to head home they even brought some smaller versions of the Wiggly Jiggly to take home with them, due to the original Wiggly Jiggly being big.

“I wish, I wish, to use this rhyme, to go back home, until next time." Pinkie and Applejack recite in unison, holding the Cake twins in their arms as they head back to Pinkie’s room.

“Wow. That sure was mighty tasty and sweet!” Applejack said, feeling full.

“Yeah, you’re telling me.” Pinkie replied just as Pound and Pumpkin yawned, meaning it’s time for their nap. At that moment, Mr and Mrs Cake arrived through the front door, carrying some groceries.

“Hey, we’re back!” Mr. Cake announces.

“I bought some fresh groceries…” Mrs. Cake said as Pinkie shushed her and pointed to the crib.

“They’re asleep.” Applejack whispered.

“I sure am glad that you manage to get the twins for their nap without any trouble.” Mrs. Cake whispered in impression. “How did you do that?” she asked.

“It’s a secret!” Pinkie and Applejack whispered in unison. “Besides, we even brought dessert, Wiggly Jigglies.”

The End
