Introduction

Cold. That's how it was on a December morning in Ponyville. The pegasi were getting ready to produce snow, ponies were having Hearth's Warming lights put up, and fillies and colts were heading to school.

But inside of the Sugarcube Corner, it was a different atmosphere. It was warm, and smelled like fresh baked pastries. Two ponies stood in the line waiting to order something. One of the ponies was a white unicorn stallion. He was built, had black freckles, and stood as tall as the work-heavy pony Big Macintosh. His mane was black and straight, as was his tail. He was wearing a white and gray-checkered beanie. Sunglasses covered his eyes. He had an unusual cutie mark, a marijuana leaf covering a red cross.

The other pony was the total opposite. It was a pitch-black unicorn filly. Her mane was pure white; long and flowing and her tail was the same. She also wore a black and gray checkered beanie. She had white freckles, purple eyes and she wore white circular glasses. She had yet to obtain her cutie mark.

The two cake shop owners, Mr. And Mrs. Cake, noticed the two. Mrs. Cake happily trotted over to the ponies. She then greeted them with a warm hello.

"Why, hello there, and welcome to Sugarcube Corner! How may I help you?" She asked sweetly.

The white unicorn shifted his hooves. "uuuuummmmm…..I would like….six dozen donuts."

The blue mare gave him a surprised look. "Six dozen? As in seventy-two donuts?"

"Yes." The white stallion agreed.

"eh…okay….what kind would you like?"

"One of everything, please."

Mrs. Cake gave him another surprised look. "Everything?"

"Everything." He nodded.

Mrs. Cake looked over to her husband. "We don't have enough donuts on display!" She whispered.

"I'll go make some more." He whispered back.

Mrs. Cake then looks back at her two customers, waiting patiently.

"I'm sorry but it appears that we will have to make some more donuts. It shouldn't take long." The confectionary pony apologized.

"That's okay. We'll wait." The stallion responded. "Can I go ahead and pay?"

"Of course. That'll be 35 bits." She answered.

The unicorn pulled out a brown cloth sack, which carried his money.

"So…are you ponies new to town?" Mrs. Cake asked to strike up a conversation.

"Yup…." The unicorn responded in a disturbingly slow manner.

Mrs. Cake gave him a concerned look. "If I may ask, what is your name?"

"Cannabis Indica…" He spoke. "I prefer Cannabis though…."

"Oh…er…well…" Mrs. Cake didn't actually know how to respond to that. "I'm Mrs. Cup Cake."

She leaned over the counter to meet the filly. "Well aren't you just the cutest thing? What's your name little one?"

"….ve…" She said as she hid behind Cannabis.

"Don't be shy, Rave. It's okay." Cannabis said as he moved to reveal the smaller unicorn.

"Ummm…uh…I'm Rave….I'm…c-Cannabis' sister…" She murmured.

The confectionary pony laughed. "Well, it's very nice to meet you are you from?"

"Manehattan." They responded simultaneously.

She turned to the unicorn. "So what do you do for a living?"

"I'm a medicinal marijuana dispenser. I've been appointed by the Equestrian Medical Society and the Royal Guard to open a dispensary here in Ponyville."

Mrs. Cake gave him a look as if that's what she was expecting. "Oh….really?"

"Yeah. Helping people with glaucoma, MS, PTSD, depression." Cannabis added.

"Really?"

"Indeed. It also helps people going through chemo, such as AIDS or Cancer patients."

The blue pony stared at Cannabis, as he just blew her mind.

"Wow….so when is this dispensary going to open?" Mrs. Cake asked.

"Oh…about a week or so…." Cannabis shrugged.

Mr. Cake stepped out of the kitchen with an assortment of freshly baked donuts, éclairs, and pastries, most of which were decorated to fit the winter weather.

"They're done! I figured that all donuts would be boring, so I added some other baked goods." He explained.

"Oh, well thank you. We better be on our way. Today is somepony's first day of school." Said Cannabis. Rave shrunk behind Cannabis.

"Thank you for your business. Come again." Mrs. Cake told them.

The two ponies made their exit, and a certain pink mare came bouncing down the stairs carrying two foals.

"Hiya, Mr. And Mrs. Cake! What're you two doing up so early?" Pinkie asked bouncing up and down. Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake were on the ground playing.

"Hello, Pinkie Dear. We were just making an order for the new ponies who moved here." Mrs. Cake told her.

"*le gasp* NEW PONIES! Where?! Where are they?!"

"They just left." Mr. Cake answered this time.

Pinkie put her serious face on. "Well there's no time to lose. There are new ponies in town and I have to set up a 'Welcome to Ponyville' party! STAT!" she shouted as she raced out the door.

The two ponies looked at each other, then smiled.

"Three, two, one." Mr. Cake counted.

Pinkie came racing back in. "GAH! COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!" She raced upstairs to grab a scarf.
