Sweet
I land and take a closer look at the structure of the building.
"Sweet! Literally!" I say, out loud, getting a couple of strange looks from passerby’s. Upon entering the gingerbread house, I am assaulted by the smell of almost too sweet treats. I look around to find that I am the only one in here. Strange I look back to the sign that says, on the side that I can see, "closed". So it should say "open" on the other. “Maybe not the time for anyone to buy treats?” I look back in the direction of the counter and look at the cupcakes behind the sneeze guard and, shaking memories of the fanfiction, find myself pretty hungry just by the looks of the food.
"Oh! It's you again!" a voice yells. I jump a little as I see Pinkie appear behind the counter out of nowhere.
"Pinkie!” I scold, panting. “You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"Oh, come on! I didn’t even want to scare you," she protested, raising an eyebrow.
"I know, but... okay, you know what? It`s okay. I should have seen it coming; being in the bakery, you being Pinkie and all..."
"Okay, now... Would you like to have something? A cupcake maybe? We have all sorts of treats and sweets, different frosting, with caramel, with chocolate ships, covered in it or both. We got white chocolate and brown, filled with marmalade or cream. We have muffins, brownies, cookies-" I suck up some drool protruding from my mouth. She counts the treats as she dashes from one corner to the other collecting the sweets and placing it on the counter creating a candy mountain.
"Pinkie!” I shout, but she’s still going on, something about sprinkles. “Pinkie!” I try again, but she’s still talking about croissants. “PINKIE!" I scream, finally grabbing her attention after her rant on marzipan.
"Yes?" she stops. I laugh condescendingly.
"You know I have no bits to buy these?" I point out.
She giggles and says. "Duh, silly! I want to give you one of these for free."
"...Marry me?" I whisper sarcastically as I turn to the mountain of pastries.
“I don’t know. My parents would have to come down to visit, and I’d have to by a dress, and it’s all so fast, we met this morning! I’m not sure I’m ready to take it to that level…” she looks as if doing math.
“I wasn’t being serious,” I correct. She looks relieved.
"Oh. So what will it be?" she asks me with a big smile. Looking at the hill of sugar in front of me, I, without checking the pile, decide quickly what I want to have. A Mico family favorite!
"Do you have tree cakes?" I ask. She raises her eyebrow again.
"What now?" she sputters.
"You know, the cake that is coated with chocolate from the outside, and looks like a tree, and has the age rings of a tree from the inside if you slice it?" I make a diagram in the air with my wing. She keeps silently staring at me. "You don`t have it?" I ask with a sheepish smile. She then jumps what seems to be like light speed in front of me and embraces me in a very tight, I-can-not-breath, Pinkie style bear hug, lifting me slightly, even. I begin to choke "Urgh!"
"Oh thank you thank you THANK YOU! I haven`t had such a good idea in a long time and finally I have something I can give Fluttershy if she wants something special! OOOH this is going to be great and delicious-""
"Pinkie!" I gasp out of breath.
"Oh. Heh, heh, sorry! Your order. I’m on it! Right away!" she lets me free and disappears into the kitchen. I use the time to collect myself and wait in silence, while I think I can hear music coming out of the kitchen and a lot of unexplainable construction noises. She comes back from the kitchen, her cheeks and forehead covered in flour.
"Okay, done! You can come pick it up in 3 hours, when it is cooled down and the chocolate coating is dry!" she smiles.
"Perfect! I will come back right about then. If that’s okay!" I say nervously.
"Of course! I’m here all day long... I mean, as long as i am not with the other girls or singing or preparing a p-" she stops midsentence, seemingly remembering something. "-arty... Hey why don’t you just go out and look around the village some more, and I deliver the cake to you, okay?"
"..Okay, I guess!" I say and shrug, leaving the store.
Back to sightseeing, I guess.
"Let’s see… I saw the library, ordered a cake at Sugarcube Corner, and will be at Rainbow’s place later. Hmm… I could go to the Carousel Boutique, but I think even if Rarity is at home she is busy and I don’t want to distract her from her work. I could always go to Fluttershy’s cottage… No, she wouldn’t even bring herself to answer the door because of her shyness if i happened to knock." I rub my chin with a hoof. "Well! Leaves only one place to go." I say, flying towards the biggest apple tree orchard I have ever seen.
Flying across every acre the whole farm ground takes me almost 15 minutes at high speeds. But, while I do, I spot a little campfire almost at the end of the apple orchard, barely touching the Everfree Forest. I had no idea the two were so close!
“Let’s take a look who’s camping out there!” I decide aloud. I circle around the campfire just to see someone sitting near it, but from my distance I can only see that it has to be an orange pony with a darker orange mane.
"Hey! Do you need help?" I shout from above. The pony jumps and looks around for the origin of the voice.
"Hello?" he shouts.
"Up here!" I call.
He looks up. "Camo?"
"Huh?" I squint my eyes to see who just called my name. "Genny?"
"Camo! Oh thank Celestia! Hey, I thought i would die alone in this forest! I mean… until I would have eaten all apples around here,” Genny groans and puts an idle hoof on his stomach. I land on the ground next to him and can now clearly see his horn and sunglasses along with his highlighted mane.
"Oh man! You are your OC, too?" I laugh. He nods
"Yeah! I guess you are too! That’s just awesome!" he throws his forelegs around my neck.
"Can you use that thing too?" I say, pointing a hoof at his horn.
"Huh? Oh, I still haven`t tried!" he smiles sheepishly and rubs his horn. I smirk.
"Just get some apples from these trees or something!" I prod. He gives in.
"Okay…" He concentrates on something, and all of a sudden all apples around us glow in a deep orange floating around us.
"Wow! You are pretty good!" I chuckle
"I don’t play World of Warcraft. Yeah, and it didn’t take as long as expected. I see you already can fly like a pro! Or should I say… like a Rainbow?" he jokes. I slug him in the arm for the bad pun.
"Ha, ha. Apropo, Rainbow. Guess who were there when I woke up in hospital?" Genny drops all apples.
"No way! Rainbow Dash?" he stares in awe. “The Rainbow Dash?”
"Eeyup! And Pinkie Pie!" I announce with pride.
"Aw, MAN! And to think I’ve been alone the whole damn day," he shouts with a pout. I smirk a little.
"You don`t even know the best thing, yet. She lost a bet to moi, and now I can stay at her place!” I boasted, before adding: “For the time being."
"You have got to be kidding me!" he began to walk in circles. He seems to be very jealous right now and I decide to show him the way out.
"Hey? Have you had enough fun in here, or do you want to stay a little longer?" i ask with a grin.
"No, no, no! I want out of here, ASAP!" he widens his eyes. “Let’s haul ass!”
"Okay. Just follow in the direction I fly!" I take off and hover in the air slowly moving forward. It is already dusk, so I speed up a little. Always checking on Genny on the ground.
The night has already come as we exit the apple orchard just to find Sweet Apple Acres right in front of us.
"Hmm, should we knock on the door? I mean, there is still light in there," I ask Genny, who seems to be very happy to see open ground instead of apple trees upon apple trees.
"Huh?” he seemingly snaps out of a trance “Oh, right. We don’t know where to go otherwise."
Suddenly the back door opens and we hear a very familiar voice shouting.
